getting you there, alright?

Yeah, sure. N ice way.

Why the f*** did you call?

You've got friends in all places.

What about your boyfriend?

Your business parter.

He'd be better placed to help you.

A business man, huh?

What are you on about?

I didn't know who Bradley

"the junkie" Thompson is.

Yeah, he can't help me.

Are you kidding?

No. He's closed up. He's

retired. He can't help me.

Lionel, you've been talking to him?

Who have you been talking to, ey?

Steven Moss.

Ray, what are you doing with Moss?

Little Ray.

I won't ask you to do this again.

I gotta go.

Can I help you?

Is Jonny Nguyen here?

Jonny...

N-g-u-y-e-n.

Here's his card. He gave me his card.

Just a minute, please.

Do you mind coming with

me? We can sort this out.

Sort what out?

Is he here or not?

This is our company card

and this is a forgery.

Jonny Nguyen doesn't work here.

If he's trading or doing

anything under our name

it's quite serious.

Do you know this man?

No.

Excuse me!

Trace! Hi.

They are my family.

Everybody, do you remember

Tracy, Tracy Heart?

My uncle, June,

You know my... Her mom.

Join us, please. Jonny's

first day at work today.

What's happening?

What's going on?

No, everything's fine.

Trace.

Yes, I can.

- Trace!

- Don't grab me!

Trace.

F*** off!

Tracy!

F*** off.

Trace!

Tracy! Okay.

Okay, alright! Look, this is...

Tracy, this is... Tracy,

I had to convince my uncle

that I had this career.

That, that I was okay.

I didn't send you away.

So, you made a sh*t, too?

I didn't know anything was

going to happen between us!

It doesn't matter! This

is all crap, all of this!

Trace... will you f***ing look at me?

What was this about making $40,000?

What was that?

Ray and I have a trip

to do this weekend.

I'll still get you your money.

Ray?

I can get it for you by Monday.

You can have what you want.

Ray?

You and Ray?

So, you're not a stockbroker.

You're still a drug dealer.

F***!

I'm sorry, Trace.

I thought I could do this for you

and you wouldn't be involved.

I am f***ed!

It's just this one time for me.

Look at me.

We do this with Ray together.

We can get what we want.

I can't get the loan, mom.

Does it mean no?

Is it so bad? I mean,

you still got your job.

You're the manager. That's

quite an achievement.

I don't want to just have a job!

Four years I've been

working in that place!

Turning up on time. Spending

hours chained up in there.

What do you want, Tracy?

I wanna turn up on Monday

with enough cash to be

an owner of that business.

What else?

When Jonny was here the other night,

sh*t, I gave him a hard time.

And I thought to myself afterwards,

"Where did that come from?"

I haven't seen you these last

few days since he's been back.

Mom!

I see a bit of my little girl back.

Yeah.

Well, it's not that easy,

mom. I mean, you know.

No, it's not.

You would've done something different

if you could've, wouldn't you?

You would've changed thing for you?

Of course.

Trace, it's your life.

Darling, it's no one else's.

Got your card?

Yeah.

You've got $15 in overdue.

Do you want to fix it a month?

Would you pay a couple

of dollars off it today?

Alright.

This guy will fix it.

Thanks for this.

No worries I need the money.

How much is here?

Eight.

So, do you bring it back?

Yeah, we got a buyer.

How far out is it?

A couple of hours. South.

Okay, I'm coming with you.

No, she's not.

I go where that money goes.

F***!

Okay, Tania, it's discussed

if we don't reach the reserve.

You talk to him. You

have law in negotiations.

I can't go there today.

Oh, Jesus f***ing Christ.

Oh, this is very exciting.

U h!

What did you do that for?

'Cause you're here and

you f***ing shouldn't be.

F***ing hurt my head. Is it bleeding?

Why are you in my house?

It was a f***ing sh*t week.

I've heard from credible

sources that you aren't retiring.

That makes you a full

blind prick, you know.

Say it again.

You heard me.

Lionel, who told you I wasn't retiring?

You should talk to Steven.

Alright.

Let's have a look at

that. That's alright.

I kind of liked it.

Come with me. I'll sort you out.

Steven, If I drive down

to my place at M ilton,

what am I gonna find there?

Don't know. I haven't

been there in years.

Well, they asked me.

Hey, hello! Long time.

Hi, Jenny.

Meet you at mom's?

Yeah, it'll be alright.

Hello, darling.

I'll brush your hair.

Good to see you, Brad. Lionel.

That stuff alone?

Yeah, four, please.

See ya.

I own that place. It's in my name.

I know that. Look... you

believe this old junkie?

This is what he wanted.

His name is Lionel Dawson.

He has done things

and been in situations

you can only dream of.

He's one of the greats, you prick!

Steven, c'mon! F***.

You can't smoke in here, mate.

This is nice, ey.

Yes, it's very nice.

Steven... I know how much you earn.

I know how much your

f***ing mortgage is.

You tell me everything,

you bloody idiot.

This is all new!

Lionel, wait in the car, will you?

Just tell me the truth.

What have you been doing

under my name behind my f***ing back?

One final call.

I'll find out.

You are in such... sh*t.

He's the one you have

to worry about, Bradley.

This feeling you've got now,

this worry, this terror,

I never had that.

You're in trouble now.

I can smell it coming off you.

Will you drive, Lionel?

Alright.

Drive the car.

Yeah, sure.

I'm gonna f***ing sort this out.

I need some information.

Lionel, are you there?

These are okay?

Ey?

Thanks.

What's going on there?

C'mon, Trace.

You know how to love someone.

Just f***ing dive in.

What put you down with the place, Brad?

Steven f***ing Moss. That f***.

I f***ing warned him.

Come on.

A cup of tea, ey?

I'd like just to clear that quickly.

We passed him on the road.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

What about that sh*t I got you?

I'm not gonna get on.

Maybe when I'm clean we

can build a house here, ey?

Lionel is a f*** physique.

Yeah, but you know

what you said to Steven.

Like you said I've been in situations.

You know, you said I was great.

I love you, Brad. I miss you.

Anything you ever loved is this.

That's not the f***ing true.

Listen to me, Lionel,

it's this Ray Heart. Do you know him?

No, no.

How much is the truth?

I don't know him, seriously.

You're a f***ing liar.

That's not true.

Don't.

Not you, Brad. Please.

There are things I can explain.

You are a f***ing lying junkie c*nt.

You've caused me nothing but trouble.

Don't be hard with me.

F***.

It's over, Lionel. It's f***ing over.

You stay there.

Don't come anywhere near me.

Just sit there.

I'm tired.

Just stay there, Lionel.

Yeah, okay, Brad.

Straight up here then make a left.

What's that there?

I cannot see it.

It's black here.

Alright.

Hello?

Hello!

Hello!

Ray!

There's nothing here. Call Moss.

Hello?

F***ing voice mail.

[Knocking on window) Anyone there?

This is bullshit. Let's get out of here.

Trace, let's get out of here.
