or to anybody else.

All right, whatever happens here,

stays with us. You understand?

All right, second,

once it's done, you wipe it away.

It never happened. We never met.

Say yes, Chris, or nod, or say something.

Sorry. Yeah. Yeah.

Now, pass it over.

Anyone else got the number?

Haven Cove.

Is it true what they say

about the sharks down there?

Apparently, yeah.

I've never seen any.

That's a good drawing. It's pretty good.

Right. Money.

Life's strange, isn't it?

Things we do.

It's all there.

When do you want this done?

Wendy.

Martha, hi.

Hello. How are you? Gidday, mate.

How are you?

- Good to see you. Very well. Hello.

- How are you?

- Lovely to see you.

- Ray, how are you?

- I'm Carla. Hi. Hi.

- Oh, yeah.

Martha, Ray, this is Carla.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- So, what you got there?

- I've got some white wine.

I'm with my husband and his sister,

but thank you.

It's really nice to meet you

and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Keep your eyes in your head.

Can you be a bit helpful, please?

You get my phone off the charger

and put it in the van.

Hold on.

I want you to take this, put it in the directory

and put it on the dash.

Come on.

Lily.

Listen, I'm not going to stay and watch,

okay? I promise.

If you start looking at this thing

like something I gotta do,

it's going to help me out a lot.

Go on.

Hey, kids, look.

What's this coming down the river, kids?

The volunteer firemen are taking

a very special delivery this year.

Why don't you all go down

and give him a warm welcome?

Hey, Mum. Yeah, can you feed Muz for me?

I forgot to do it.

Yeah, don't give him the canned sh*t.

There's proper dog meat in the fridge.

Isn't Mum at your place?

No, we had a fight.

You know what she's like.

No, just make yourself at home. Yeah.

All right, see you, Mum.

- How is she? She still got the shits?

- She's all right.

- Excuse me.

- Where you going now?

To the toilet.

Where you going?

Need a pillow now.

Ray. Ray! Phone.

Sorry, guys.

I'm going to have to take this. Hi.

Yeah. Okay, yeah.

Chris? I think he's gone, Chris. Hold on.

Sh*t.

He's just outside.

Okay, I need you to stop him now.

Okay, but he's going to want to

talk to you himself.

No, no, I don't care about that.

Just tell him he has to postpone it.

- I'll get him so you two can talk.

- No, no, just tell him.

My phone's about to die.

Can you please just tell him?

Okay, I'll tell him.

F***! I need...

F*** it.

Wait, Billy! Billy, stop! Billy!

Ta.

Hey, hey, hey! Where're you going?

I can't let you go in there.

- It's my house!

- You can't go in there! Get back!

Mum. Where is she?

That's Muz.

Sh*t. Mum. Mum!

Mum! My mother's in there!

Mum! My f***ing mother's in there!

Mum! No!

Mum! Get the f*** off me!

Mum! Mum!

If only I hadn't have been fighting with her,

none of this would have happened.

I've got to go, Martha.

Here it is. Ray?

...this time in Haven Cove.

Police are still investigating

the cause of the fire.

An opposition spokesman today

said the government should be taking...

Lily! We're on TV!

Firefighters did their best

but were unable to save the property,

which was well alight when they arrived.

Tragically, an elderly lady

lost her life in the blaze which started

while other family members attended

local Carols by Candlelight celebrations.

The woman, 62-year-old Gladys Smith,

was visiting family.

Billy.

F***!

F***.

It's okay. You can come out.

You evil f***ing dog.

- What happened?

- What do you mean, "What happened"?

I called last night. I called and I called it off.

You listen. This wasn't part of the plan.

This isn't what I f***ing signed on for, mate.

This changes everything.

Wait, wait. Listen. Listen to me.

Not on the phone.

We're on tomorrow like we said.

Wait. You...

- I said tomorrow!

- Wait...

What did he say?

He reckons he called it off.

Can you f***ing believe that?

He didn't call, did he?

No.

What happened, Ray?

You looked at me.

The way that you looked at me...

Well, they went ahead with it anyway.

- Why would they do that?

- I don't know. I don't know.

- Carla, listen...

- Ray, we have killed someone.

- We're murderers.

- No, no, no, no, we can fix this.

Who the f*** was that?

Did they hit the office?

No, no.

Only thing missing's a small generator.

Little red one. I'd say it was just one bloke.

Do you think it was an inside job?

Well, whoever it was,

looks like he knew what he was after.

- What do you reckon? Should I call Miles?

- No. It's not really worth it. Not just for that.

Hey, Charlie, when's that truck arriving?

What happened, huh? Did you talk to her?

Where's the money, huh?

- How much is there?

- Half.

- Looks like it. Why?

- Because I called. I...

You have one week. And don't f*** around.

I know who you are.

Great. Okay, she'll see you then. Bye.

Hi.

Leonard. What can I do for you?

I was just closing up,

so is there something that you needed?

- Yeah, I'd like to make an appointment.

- Okay.

Maybe I could

come in one night after work.

We're open late on Thursdays.

As long as it's you.

See you then.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

What is it?

Carla?

He knows the money wasn't in the house.

It's not just Greg, Ray.

I think I know who saw us the other night.

That guy Leonard,

he came into the salon yesterday.

He was acting all...

I don't know. He knows Greg, Ray.

What if he says something?

You don't talk to him, okay?

Just let me sort it out. I'll handle it.

Ray, what have we done?

What?

F***!

Ray!

Hello! Merry Christmas!

- Thank you.

- Hello.

Ray!

It's such a shame.

But they've moved in with his sister, so...

Do you think they'll rebuild?

- Well, Dale thinks they're under suspicion.

- Well, no.

Everyone comes under suspicion with fires.

It's just...

- Guilty till proven innocent.

- It's standard procedure.

Still. Poor Carla,

she insists on still coming to work.

- It's probably for the best.

- Yeah, I guess.

- So, they think it was electrical?

- It was the Christmas tree lights.

Funny thing

about Christmas tree lights, actually.

You know,

they're mostly manufactured in countries

where they don't actually

celebrate Christmas.

What the f***, Ray?

- What the f*** were you doing at my house?

- I wasn't at your house.

I saw you at my f***ing house.

What were you doing there?

Well, what were you doing

with the generator?

You think I'm a f***ing idiot?

- Go home or I'll call the police.

- Go ahead.

I'm just dying to tell them

what I saw the other night.

That's got you interested,

hasn't it? D*ckhead.

Leonard. Leonard, wait. Wait.

Are you blackmailing me?

Get your hands off me!

Carla. Hi. Smithy home?

Yeah. Come in.

Get us some rollies?

Sure.

Hey, I hear one of the corners is damaged.

What's the story?

No, it's going to clear up.

I called the bureau.

It's not the rain I'm worried about.

It's the grid.

Yeah, Barney, how far away, mate?

Well, it's just looking a bit ugly here.
