- Hey. Hey, baby! - Hi!
Hi, you.
My God, you're so beautiful.
- Hey, eyes to the front. - Sorry.
You look away again, I'm going home!
You should've seen the dog's face.
Honestly, I could swear he knew. He knew!
Honey, you grate imaginary cheese
on his food to make him eat it.
He doesn't know a thing.
I still felt bad leaving him.
But look what you get instead!
Welcome to New Zealand.
So the deal's good to go?
Yeah, like I said, it's all under control.
You can trust me to do my bit.
It's not that I don't trust you.
Well, we're here now, it's happening,
so maybe you can cut me some slack.
Okay, that is so not fair!
I never mean to upset you.
I know.
It's you and me against the world.
Are we friends again?
_
Are the other 492 as friendly?
Yep.
And they'll have a complete description of you
circling in... about five seconds?
This place is so charming.
- Hi. - _
It's breathtaking.
Even better in person.
Hey, PDAs in Pelorus?
I can tell you're new in town.
Maggie, meet my buddy, Ru.
Ru Kelliher, local mail boat skipper.
- Ohh! - Welcome to paradise.
People still send mail, huh?
Yeah, no roads out there.
No Internet, no cellphone, just me and my waka.
Ah, that's Maori for boat.
Only took him two years to learn that.
Anyway, I better let you fellas get on with it.
Bet you're gagging to jump aboard Maggie, eh?
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, later!
You'll see, you'll see.
Mm-hmm.
Take a look...
Oh!
I...
- I wanted it to be a surprise. - _
Oh, it's perfect.
Gagging to jump on board?
Oh, yes.
Whoo!
Oh, wow.
It is beautiful.
Hey, I'm sorry about before.
Me, too.
You wouldn't be human if you weren't feeling the pressure.
I know, but still.
It's okay.
Oh.
Time to meet the troops.
Okay.
Hey.
You can fit in anywhere, can't you?
We both know that's not true.
Well, my family doesn't count.
Isn't that why we're here?
_
Stuart, the woman I never stop talking about.
Meet our business partner and pillar of the community,
Stuart McGregor.
Hi. Yeah.
- Maggie. - Nice to finally meet you.
- Welcome to Pelorus. - Thank you.
We need to sort out that last loose end.
- Yeah. - Showtime, brother.
- Okay, mate. - Yeah.
Brothers. Talk about the backbone.
I thought you said there were no loose ends.
- Here you go, boss. - Kia ora, Ru.
Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa,
and thank you all for coming out today
for the signing of this epic deal
taking sustainable aquaculture to the next level,
right here in Pelorus.
First up, I'd like to thank Tom Cabbott.
Whoo!
Without Tom's vision for the future,
Pelorus would be looking at a very different scenario.
Without his "vision", the Sounds would be staying
exactly the way that God intended them to.
Apologies, people.
Yeah, what for?
Turning the seabed into a toxic wasteland
with your soul-sucking greed?
Pania.
Lock her up, Jack.
Waiho!
Now, there's no need for that.
We've talked about this.
The local iwi and the council have given their consent
because when our salmon farms go in,
they will have half the environmental load
of any other fishery in the world.
And right now you're standing
in what will be the processing factory,
so that is 60 jobs right here.
So my soul-sucking greed doesn't get a look-in.
You know nothing about Pelorus.
But I know you, Tom Cabbott.
I know exactly why you're here.
I know exactly what you're doing.
Pania.
Meet Pelorus's all-purpose protester.
If it's happening, she's against it.
What say we sign this thing and get this party started?
Yes!
Whoo-hoo!
Hey!
May I have the pleasure?
Oh, um, you know what, jet lag and two left feet?
I'm not sure it's a good idea.
That's amazing because I've got two right feet.
We're going to be perfect together.
Let's go, come on. Come on!
Hey, got her.
Your poor wife must be exhausted.
Yeah. Yeah, better get her
back to the boat before they fire up the conga.
He knows about the conga.
Now, where are we?
Nikau Bay.
We'll see it in the morning.
And over here is Matai Bay.
Between there and Pelorus, it's just forest.
It's so quiet.
Not another soul in sight.
Tom?
Mayday, mayday.
This is Maggie Cabbott on board the sailboat, Maggie.
I'm anchored in Nikau Bay in the Pelorus Sound.
Mayday, mayday.
This is Maggie Cabbott on board the sailboat Maggie.
Receiving, Maggie. What's your situation? Over.
I think something has happened to my husband.
Tom!
What do you reckon?
Water the temperature it is, an hour, tops.
Let's hope he didn't end up in the water.
_
He went out kayaking and he just didn't come back.
I mean, he could've been hit by a boat
or gotten caught in a strong current.
That happens, right? He could've had a heart attack.
Was he feeling okay?
Yeah, yeah, he um...
Maggie, you need to tell me everything.
Alright. Whatever you know, alright?
Because every detail counts.
- I was asleep when he left. - Right.
So you don't know what time he left the boat?
You don't know what direction he went?
He's a really strong swimmer, though.
He's in really good shape. He swims for miles.
Right, can you tell me what he had with him?
He would've had his dry belt with him with water,
his watch, his phone,
not that it'll be any good to him out here.
Right. Did he have a life jacket?
I'll check.
No.
What do you want me to do?
Go home, set up base, sort out who's going where by sea.
When Ru comes back, he can start coordinating the land search.
Alright, I'll see you when I can.
Kath to Harbor Master,
we have a missing kayaker out of Nikau Bay.
Hey, listen. I'm going to make us a cup of tea.
Sure.
Do you want milk?
Yes, please.
Okay, with current tides,
the area we need to cover is between here...
this is where they were moored...
up here is where we found the kayak.
So I know it's a large catchment,
but we're going to go wide on sea,
just add land searches where we can.
So let's go, stay safe, stay in touch.
If weather conditions change where you are,
I wanna know about it. Right?
I should've called you sooner!
He could be back safely by now.
Listen, Maggie, there's a search underway.
There's no reason to think that we're not going to find him.
What can I do?
Please just tell me what I can do.
Getting planes in the air, alright?
The more resources I can throw at this now,
the sooner we can find him.
Of course. There's money.
Good.
And we should think about heading back.
No. No.
If Tom comes back here and we haven't waited...
- Maggie, listen. - No.
He's not going to come back here, alright?
This is too far away from where they found the kayak.
Then he's made it to shore, right?
It's a possibility, yes.
But still, the best place for you
is back in town close to the base.
Not if he comes back.
He can't come back and find that we haven't waited for him.
Listen, Maggie.
Hey, hey.
We're going to find him.
I need to call his family.
Okay.
Stuart, stop the crap!
You don't want them to be paid!
They will be paid, you know that.
- Jesus! - Well, when?
As soon as I can get the bloody money.
- Alright? - Well, get the bloody money.
Oh, for God's sake. You know it's coming.
Keep saying that!
You can make the call from my place.
From the police station?
No, from my home.
_
Oh, yes.
- Hey. - Hey.
Here she is.
Hello, hello.
Oh, Maggie.
I can't imagine what you're going through,
but um, our guys know what they're doing, they really do.
She's um, she's fed, she's changed,
and your snot-free granddaughter will be here
to do the late shift any minute.
Book club are doing soup and sammies
for volunteers later if anyone's hungry.
There's the phone.
I'll be in the next room if you need me, alright?
_
Hello, Nate Cabbott.
Maggie? Hang on.
What do you mean he's missing?
Well, that doesn't make sense. He swam varsity for McGill.
Okay, okay, well...
Well, are you sure you're not overreacting?
Of course.
Okay, well, keep me informed.
Jesus, Tom.
Yeah, Dad, uh, are you sitting down?
Hey.
You're okay?
May I?
Yeah.
She arrives and he kayaks into the great blue yonder?
Dad, it's serious.
There's a full-scale search going on.
He'll turn up.
You watch.
Well, I should go down there.
Maggie is perfectly capable of handling everything on her own.
In fact, I'm sure that's her preference.
Dad, this is Tom.
I mean, what if something's really wrong?
It won't be.
We have a highly paid expert on the payroll
who you keep telling me can find anything.
Is there any point in asking?
I've been able to trace various communications to the Caymans,
Hong Kong, the Cook Islands, and the Isle of...
I don't want his itinerary. I want my money.
The money is hidden in a complicated web
specifically designed to repel my sort of scrutiny.
You know that, Dad. We hide money there too.
I'm well aware of that.
It was Monty's job when he was working for us.
I hope you paid him well because he was really good at it.
Is there something I can help you with?
Yes, but it has nothing to do with this.
We have a... another situation.
A financial one?
No, a Tom one.
In New Zealand.
New Zealand?
Ru... how are we going?
Yeah. Good, we're throwing everything we've got at it.
The fixed wing, that's still out there,
but we're bringing the rescue chopper back in to refuel.
- It'll go out again tomorrow. - Tomorrow?
Yeah. Oh, nah, it's alright.
We've got the boats out there still.
We've got volunteers down at Nikau Bay, we've got locals
all up and down the Sounds, and they're all on high alert.
I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem...
We've still got a couple of hours
of good light left, alright?
So anything can still happen.
Come and sit down, come on.
We need to find you somewhere to stay.
I'm fine on the boat.
No, you can't be on your own.
Han, you still booked up?
Yeah, sorry.
You could've come to mine, but I've still got
a leftover from the party.
Ah, what about Dad's sleep-out?
Yeah?
Honestly, I'm fine.
No, that's a good idea.
Jack can keep an eye on you.
My bags are on the boat.
Okay. I'll wait for you.
_
Look, we know his chances in the water, alright,
so the Coastguard'll head west
of D'Urville Island in the strait.
We've gotta be careful because the weather's
- going to close in... - Jack, it's Maggie.
I tried to stop her.
Maggie! What are you doing?
Can't wait around here another minute.
- I'm going crazy. - Listen, you need to be here,
it's where all the information is coming in.
What information, Jack? It's been 24 hours.
Listen, I understand your frustration,
but we've got dozens of trained volunteers out there,
and they're all doing their best in the search.
Well, you know what? I'm not doing my best.
Look, I don't want you going out there on your own.
I know how to handle the boat.
Look, you don't know what it's like, Maggie.
The weather's all over the place.
There's a southerly front coming through,
- and there's going to be high winds. - Jack, can you actually stop me?
We're going to get it, Maggie.
Everything we ever wanted.
Pelorus Search and Rescue Base calling Maggie.
Do you read me?
You need to come back.
I think we found Tom's dry bag.
We found it in the Cook Strait.
The Cook Strait?
But that's open sea.
Don't look at me like that.
It might not be his dry bag!
Alright, let's just see.
In the meantime, go and sit down.
- I'll get you a cup of tea. - I don't want a cup of tea.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Hey, the winds, they're already at 30 knots out in the Sound.
Yep, it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Bring them back in.
All of them?
Yeah.
I had to do something.
I get it.
But part of my job is to look after you, Maggie.
I'm not trying to make that harder.
No.
It's also my job, in maritime situations like this,
to ask more questions.
So excuse me if some of these questions
seem a little bit personal.
What sort of personal?
Well, I know you didn't see Tom that morning he went kayaking.
Was everything alright when you first arrived?
Yeah.
No, it was fine. It was better than fine.
He wasn't a bit worried. He wasn't distracted?
No, he was, um...
He was excited to have me here and, um...
Yeah, excited about signing the fishery deal,
the boat, everything.
So nothing out of the ordinary?
Nothing that I can think of.
Except for that scene afterwards.
What scene?
The woman at the deal-signing party.
Pania? You don't need to worry about her.
Well, she certainly had an axe to grind.
What about after the party back at Nikau Bay?
A raging eco-warrior?
Oh, come on, she was off her meds.
Who was the guy with the folder?
What folder?
The folder you snatched at the party.
That's what you're worried about?
Paperwork? Come on, relax!
Tom, Stuart was clearly wound up.
What's going on?
Stuart's worries have nothing to do with the business.
His wife's an alcoholic.
I mean, we hadn't seen each other in six weeks.
So we had a romantic evening.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, um...
New cleaner's pulled a sickie, so I'm on chambermaid duties.
Can you take bubs?
Can't Lulu watch her?
Dad, yeah, she can come later,
but this is getting ridiculous.
You should be asleep.
Keep your chin up, eh?
Hey, hey. Bring the kids over tonight,
and I'll cook dinner for everyone.
Sorry about that.
Life goes on.
You and Tom never... ?
Close. A few times. But no.
Jack.
Can you come in here a minute?
I'll watch her for you.
You sure?
Yeah, no, I could use the distraction.
Thank you. You be a good girl.
This just came in.
I see you've met Bella.
Certainly is taking a village to raise this little muppet.
Eh?
Where's her Mum?
AWOL. Not for the first time.
Not for the last.
Where his youngest daughter's concerned,
Jack's a sucker for punishment.
What's going on? Why... Why is everybody back here?
Maggie, I'm sorry, we're going to stand down
until the weather improves.
No! No, no.
We need to be out there looking for him.
Not in this. It's not safe.
I can't put anyone else at risk.
Every minute counts, you said so yourself.
And we'll get back out there as soon as possible, I promise.
Maggie, is this Tom's?
Hey, we need to talk.
I'm in the middle of something.
We're all in the middle of something.
Look, just keep an eye on her,
and I'll get there just as soon as I can, okay?
Look, I'm sorry, Greg. I know what you're going to say.
And...
Sorry, mate, I have to take this.
You're kidding me.
Brendan, hi, yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm sorry I missed your call.
I had a look through the last few months.
No red flags.
_
Can't believe this is happening.
Jack.
- What's the problem? - More like who's the problem.
Your brother's got me to the end of my bloody rope.
Not here, not here.
Come on.
Do we really have to keep having the same argument?
Business is everything.
It has to be seamless.
It is.
I'm sorry about that, Maggie.
You knew Tom a little, right?
He was in business with your brother.
Did he seem off to you at all?
Not at all.
He seemed to be about the deal.
It was a big deal for him.
Doing something away from his family.
Sounded like an interesting crowd.
Why? What did he tell you?
Not much, really.
There was one night.
Year before last when he first started coming down here.
He had a phone call with his father.
No matter what I do...
Down he comes.
You know?
Well, what you're doing here is going to save this place.
Mm.
Yeah, my father doesn't give a damn.
But you're good people, you know that?
You, too.
I'll have another of whatever Tom's having.
As long as you're not driving.
No, no, no.
I'm not going anywhere.
Let me guess, good old Kentucky bourbon.
We could all bitch about our families
after half a bottle of that stuff.
Five years sober.
I'm so proud of you.
Any chance there was anything else to it?
- To what? - With his family.
Finances?
No, the Cabbotts have so much money they can lose millions
and all it dents is their ego.
Tom seemed to think that they lacked ethics.
Anyone with a beating heart finds their ethics lacking.
Then how did he talk them into financing
a green scheme like the salmon one?
They didn't finance it.
They "allowed" him... after much negotiation...
to access his trust fund for the set-up costs.
So he couldn't use that whenever he wanted?
No. No, what's Tom's is the Cabbotts'.
Well, that'd hurt.
How do you mean?
Well, friction.
Within his family.
Well, it made him want to prove he could do
something without them.
But that was after his father
appointed his younger brother as the CEO, is that right?
That was a long time ago.
Something like that can...
seriously unbalance someone.
What are you suggesting, exactly?
What? That Tom killed himself?
That he committed suicide?
No...
he would never do that to himself or to me.
Okay.
Do you think that I had something to do with it?
- Maggie... - Oh, my God.
... If there's something that I should know,
then you need to tell me now.
The only thing that anyone needs to know
is that my husband is out there somewhere
and no one is looking for him.
I am sitting here with my hands tied behind my back
while my husband is out there waiting for me,
and you're accusing me of...
I'm not accusing you of anything.
I'd never seen him happier.
So why do I always feel like I'm only ever one step away
from having you throw everything back in my face?
That is just not fair.
It's true. Between you and my father...
Don't you dare compare me to him!
Look, Maggie, I get it. Alright? I do.
It's a waiting game,
and this weather's only making the nightmare worse.
But I need to make sure I'm not missing anything
in case it can help us find him.
When I first met Tom, I thought it was an act,
the whole charming boy-next-door thing.
I was raised by a single mom,
I was at college on a scholarship,
so I thought rich people were different.
They're not. Everyone has issues.
Turns out having money just makes them worse.
But whatever the Cabbotts are, Tom's not one of them.
He's not his father.
I have spent half my life with him.
He's a good man.
And I just can't believe that he would have anything to hide.
Neither do I.
Boss!
Excuse me.
Yep, right.
Yeah.
Maggie...
That was the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Wellington.
Please don't say anything else.
I've got no choice.
Alright? They've called it.
So the rescue's been downgraded to a recovery mission.
The weather's easing. We're going to keep looking.
Don't tell me he's not coming back to me.
