Previously on "The Sounds"...
Hey, eyes to the front.
When our salmon farms go in, they will have
half the environmental load of any other fishery in the world.
I know you. I know exactly why you're here.
We have another situation.
A financial one?
No, a Tom one.
In New Zealand.
New Zealand?
Mayday, mayday.
This is Maggie Cabbott on board the sailboat Maggie.
I think something has happened to my husband.
Was everything all right when you first arrived?
Yeah, it was fine. It was better than fine.
Jack! It's Maggie.
Maggie, what are you doing?
I can't wait around here another minute.
- It's been 24 hours. - There's a southerly front
coming through, and there's going to be high winds.
Jack, can you actually stop me?
Is this Tom's?
You let me know if you find anything relevant.
He's a good man, and I just can't believe
that he would have anything to hide.
Neither do I.
The rescue's been downgraded
to a recovery mission.
Don't tell me he's not coming back to me.
So as you're aware, our search has entered a new phase.
So from now on, the smaller craft will start
in the eastern quadrant and the Queen Charlotte
will ferry land-based searchers to key drop-off points.
Good luck.
Okay, can I have Dave, Rob, and Ngahuia over here, please?
Esther Ishikawa, representing the Cabbott family.
I've got some questions about your investigation.
Well, there's a man missing, presumed drowned.
We're looking for him.
And you're satisfied there was no foul play?
So you're representing Maggie Cabbott?
Is that right?
I assume you've questioned her.
And I assume you're not my acting superior
within the New Zealand Police Force.
So you'll have to wait for the coroner's report
like everyone else.
How long will that take?
Could be six weeks, could be three months.
After we find the body.
Hey, sleep okay?
Do you have any rooms that don't overlook the water?
It's like our biggest selling point.
Did you hear my question?
Maybe Kath's B'n'B is better suited?
Yeah, it looks at nothing.
Can you find out if she has a room available?
Sure, Kath, have you got a room available?
Yeah.
There you go.
Come on, Maggie.
You know I hate it when we fight.
After all these years, I'm still crazy about you.
Ah!
Stuart.
Are you not going up in the air today?
Look, Maggie.
It's terrible what you're going through.
It really is.
And I'm so sorry for you and for Tom.
But this factory's not going to build itself,
and I've got a meeting in Blenheim.
Is it about the business because you should know...
Do you need to get that?
Uh, no, no, it's fine. Sorry. I should know what?
The Cabbotts have sent an envoy.
Esther Ishikawa. She's their accountant.
She's going to ask questions.
Right.
So if there's anything that I need to know, Stuart.
Uh, got to go, sorry.
It's been downgraded to a recovery mission.
Jesus. Are you sure?
Esther, are the authorities there sure?
It's been 72 hours.
71 longer than most people last in the water out here.
Would you like me to look at his insurance policy?
If she was going to get rid of him,
she would've done it a long time ago.
Well, I'm better at finding money than people.
And you're not even good at that.
I should be back home doing it now.
How much did we tip into this salmon thing?
Nothing, exactly.
We agreed to take 5 million out of his trust fund.
We don't have access?
No.
Look into it. If it's bad, we'll offload it.
If it's good, well, no one will be more surprised than I am.
Aren't we jumping the gun a bit here?
It's a recovery mission.
I don't need to hear that.
Have you talked to her?
Coming right up.
We found the kayak here, just off Sore Tooth Ridge.
Alright, so what I want you to do is get a team together,
alright, and let's go back over this coastline now.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Yep. - How long do you expect this to last?
I'm not giving up.
But they are looking for a body now, right?
Esther, that's my husband you're talking about.
Nate's brother. Frank's son.
"Frank's son". Yeah.
And yet he stays in Canada and sends his accountant.
"Financial investigator".
But I know what you mean.
I thought your job was to find the missing money.
Me too.
But the Cabbott's wanted someone on the ground
to help with resources.
And to protect the Cabbott's interests.
That's all Tom is to them... an interest?
They just want to know what he's been doing down here.
What, with the salmon fishery?
It's got nothing to do with them.
It's to do with Tom, which is to do with them,
and the Cabbott's don't want you to have to worry about it.
That was his business partner out there
before in the parking lot?
- Mm-hmm. - What's up with him?
Well, uh...
Tom was his colleague.
And his friend.
So he's grieving.
Didn't look like grief.
What does grief look like?
Anyway, the Cabbott's thought it would be easier
if I keep them informed with any new developments.
Okay, so do that.
But the fishery is going ahead as planned.
Hey, Happy, your hostess with the mostess is ready
to take you to your new home.
We'll talk more later.
Good luck.
Annette.
I think I'm in trouble.
We're all in trouble.
Stuart?
Found him?
No, we could use you in the air though.
You got something better to do?
Oh, give me a break.
Look, Stuart, whatever's going on, just talk to me.
Just tightening a few things up. It's nothing major.
Well, why is your foreman stomping around
like a bear with a sore head then?
It's nothing. Going down there now to sort it out.
Annette.
You keeping it together?
No, I've already told you, I'm not interested, and anyway,
it's been downgraded to a recovery and I'm involved
so I couldn't write about it anyway.
Sorry.
Um, what do you think?
You're a journalist?
I'm trying hard not to be.
So you won't be writing a story about Tom Cabbott?
Not if I can help it.
They seem like an interesting crowd, though, his family.
Google.
Had to check he wasn't coming here
to chop off our mountain tops.
And did Google tell you how long the search
for his body will go on?
How long is a piece of string?
You know, string has a beginning and end,
so its length is actually entirely measurable.
Right, well, the search and rescue missions aren't,
so much as I'd love to stay and chat,
I have to get back on the water.
I'll take it. What's the WiFi password?
Oh, we don't bother with those.
Don't even lock our houses when we go on holiday.
Which, by the way, is never.
See you later.
_
- Hey. - Hi.
I met the Cabbott family investigator.
You talked to her?
She asked about foul play.
Maggie, when I asked those questions,
I was just doing my job.
You know what hurts the most?
That they've given up already.
But I need to see him again, Jack,
even if it's just to say goodbye.
I understand that.
It must be awful, here at the bottom of the world all alone.
But you're not alone, Maggie.
We haven't given up.
But the last thing we need right now
is a second search and rescue mission.
So if I could get you off this boat,
Hannah could do with a hand feeding the volunteers.
You'd be doing us all a big favor.
Sure.
Good.
Well, would you look at her.
You seem surprised.
I mean, don't you at home have staff?
No, I grew up in a house smaller than Jack's.
Brothers and sisters?
Just me and my mom.
Oh.
No dad?
No, no dad.
Geez, Louise, we're going to have a nationwide shortage
you keep going like that.
Where's her dad?
Ah, local munter, ran away crying the moment
my stupid sister got pregnant.
He comes and goes.
He's a real doozie.
Mind you, neither of my husbands were up to much either.
Pelorus is bad for couples.
Not you and Tom, obviously.
Before he, um...
What I'm trying to say is, um,
you two seemed like the real deal.
I thought so, too.
Bye.
No.
No, no, no, no!
Hayden!
Hayden, that weasel ripped me off!
Oh, so he's a weasel now, is he?
Well, how much was left?
Half a kilo!
I still had Motueka and Nelson to deliver to.
Shit.
Hayden, what are we going to do?
Oh, God.
The recycling deal. I lost everything.
Dad was right, you know?
I don't have what it takes.
I'm just a waste of space.
I can't fix this, Tom.
But you can.
What's half a kilo worth wholesale?
A fortune.
So we need to find the weasel or find a fortune.
Never mind that.
Where's your rich boyfriend when you need him?
One last hit, and that's it.
So, I've been thinking.
What if I didn't leave?
I mean, why should you get to sail off
in your fancy boat with your fancy wife?
Because that's life.
My life.
Yeah, well, what if I want some of what you've got?
Okay. You need to leave.
What I need is cash.
No, real cash.
I want to be the person that makes the stuff
you learn to smoke, not the one who delivers it.
It's not that hard.
You should see the guys I work for.
I could cut them out and make some real money.
We could do it together.
You said you just wanted to have fun.
That's all. Nothing more.
Is fun what your wife would call it?
You need to get off my boat.
Or?
Mitch is going to find you. You know that, right?
Hey, you all right?
In what respect?
Just in the respect that you don't look
like you're all right.
What's that for?
Uh, recording stuff.
What sort of stuff?
Oh, uh, well...
Dane McGregor Digital.
Weddings, funerals, corporate gigs.
Although we don't really get a lot of those.
Want to see a bunch of kids watching a magician?
No.
Got bluetooth?
Yeah.
Okay, so she can bake.
What's her story?
Don't get me started.
No, I'd... I'd like to know.
Another single mother with a piece of shit son.
Hates us all, has done for years.
I don't know why she sticks around.
Caused enough fuss about the fishery.
Didn't Tom tell you about it?
No, he didn't.
Excuse me.
Pania?
Can we talk?
What you said about Tom at the party.
Ka aroha mo to mate. I'm sorry for your loss.
This feels like breaking and entering, so...
I have authority.
From the hot wife?
From the family of the missing owner.
Gives me the creeps.
What's in the back?
They don't call it the back on a boat.
Just open it.
Crew cabin, guest room.
Why would they need crew?
Probably because sailing this fantastic beast
across the world might require staff.
This baby could take you anywhere.
Bring me the data card and come and get your payment.
What do you think you're doing?
Oh, hey, I'm sorry, I'm here for the insurance.
What insurance?
Mrs. Ishikawa said you needed it appraised so...
You're Stuart's son.
Yeah. But I am... I'm really sorry.
About this. About Tom.
About everything.
For the record, our yacht's already insured.
Good to know. It's an expensive asset.
Which Tom and I bought and paid for ourselves.
What plans did Tom have for it exactly?
To sail it.
Where?
A large body of water not a million miles from here.
Just seems like that boat was made to go a lot farther.
Well, I guess without Tom, it's not going anywhere.
Is there any way we cannot do this?
You have no reason not to trust me.
Trusting people isn't really my thing.
Get us some cigs and something to eat, would you?
You wanker!
_
I don't want any trouble.
Yeah, nah, I'm good, thanks for asking.
- You stalking me? - I just want to talk.
Yeah, well, I just want to drink my pint in peace.
Is there's something I should know?
Lady, there's some things you particularly shouldn't know.
Okay, how can you say something like that
and then not tell me what you meant at the party?
Just don't worry about it, okay.
It had nothing to do with you.
You know, I spent most of my legal career
fighting for the same things you believe in?
For a start, when they go in, the salmon farms
are going to be more environmentally friendly than...
I mean, they're as environmentally-friendly
as you could possibly get.
So the toxic sea-bed thing, it doesn't fly.
When they go in?
We have made every effort to leave the smallest imprint here.
We're not fly-by-nighters.
Did it ever occur to you that I might just like
winding up these stiffs in this manky little town?
No, I think there's more to it than that.
Yeah, well, I think it's none of my business.
It's my business, okay?
You really want to know?
Yes.
I saw your husband doing something that he shouldn't.
What?
Well, it happened a while ago now.
When I was out fishing one morning.
Up bright and early.
You know, it's best to catch them on the rise.
Woohoo!
Hey old man, get back down here!
It just couldn't have been Tom.
Or maybe just being lost at sea
is not such a bad place for him to be.
Argh! Argh!
Argh!
Ah, come on...
What can I do?
What have you done?
Ah.
Come on, come on, come on.
Okay.
Why would I listen to him, he messes up every time.
He wants to do good.
Why won't you let him?
Because there's no money in good.
You're hurting people, and you're getting away with it
because you know you can't be held accountable.
It's not my fault, it's good being a Canadian
in the mining business.
Of course it's your fault!
- It's always stacked in your favour. - Sit down.
Maggie, perhaps we could talk about this later.
I said sit down.
You can't talk to my wife like that.
Oh, look... he has a backbone.
There's no more money.
We're mortgaged to the hilt. They've gotta pay rent.
They've gotta put food on the table.
- Here you go. Come on. - Tell ya what. Take my watch.
- Here's my watch. - What are you talking about?
_
Passwords people.
Really.
Cheers.
_
Look what the cat dragged in.
Yeah, whatever.
Hey, that Canadian guy, Tom Cabbott.
You seen him?
- Are you high? - No.
Just looking for Tom.
Babe, you're three days too late.
He's missing...
- Missing? - Yeah.
As in drowned.
- Drowned? - Rum and coke?
What, he's dead?
Yeah, but...
what's it to you?
_
You go check the pub.
Yeah, alright.
_
What's going on here?
Good day for Tracy at the pub.
- Because... - Because my workers want to get paid,
they don't want to be fobbed off by some arsewipe
with a fancy SUV.
Is that even English?
Who are you when you're at home?
The person interested in why no-one's getting paid.
Ask Stuart McGregor.
Tom Cabbott's partner, Stuart McGregor?
Well, you can't ask Tom, can you?
Rain's brought down half the bloody hill.
Kath to base.
Slip at Matai Bay.
I'm going to head in and check out.
Over.
Copy that.
Look, it's been a long day for everyone Kath,
I want you back here please.
Yeah, I know, I reckon we can still get in there.
Back to base, Kath.
Over.
Copy that.
_
Hey, hey, it's just me.
Darling, where have you been?
Here and there.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
I dunno.
Do you ever wonder, what it would be like if...
I try not to think about it.
And neither should you.
Can I borrow your car?
Oi, you two, settle down will you?
Lulu, get off your bum and go and check on Bella.
Now.
So welcome to feeding time at the zoo.
They're fine. They're, they're great.
Really?
Most days Hannah would gladly hand them away.
Yeah, I always thought Tom and I would...
What?
I'm not going to get my goodbye, am I?
It's not over yet, Maggie.
I know, but...
I'm running out of hope.
Well hoping helps.
No matter what happens.
Is that your wife?
She died of cancer. Hannah was 14.
Bella's mum was ten.
I'm so sorry.
You'll survive this, Maggie.
You will.
It's just been Tom and I, you know.
Just the two of us, for so long.
Yeah.
Well, I hope you know you can stay here
as long as you need to.
Excuse me.
Jack McGregor.
Where?
Yeah, alright, I'm on my way.
Okay.
Listen, Maggie, I've got to go.
Alright, a car's gone off the road on the Old Coast Pass.
Can you stay here and look after the kids?
- Just until... - Yeah, sure.
- Hannah will be back in a second. - It's fine, of course.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Thank you, Maggie. Thank you.
Was that delicious?
No, it's just a technical thing with the bank.
Oh, it better be, I just signed
with the contractor for renovations.
Ah, Maggie, where's Dad?
Ah, he's on a callout. Everything okay?
There's been a walk off at the factory,
the whole town's pissed.
It's okay, fine, promise.
So she's eaten, um, but the kids haven't.
Why don't your uncle and I fire up the grill,
we need to catch up.
And we'll all have dinner?
Okay. Are you good with her?
I'm going to have my way with some onions.
Yeah, great.
A walk off?
What's going on?
Stuart, Esther Ishikawa is breathing down my neck.
She's coming for yours next.
We cannot have a problem.
We'd nailed it.
Oh it's what I thought, it's what Tom thought.
Until the day after we signed the deal.
And, then what happened?
It's what didn't happen.
We'd been waiting on this crucial bloody report.
When the report didn't...
You stupid little cow!
What is she thinking?
Hannah!
What's going on?
It's...
She drove Annette's car off the road.
Aw, girl...
What the fuck are you doing with my kid?
- Don't, no. - I'm sorry.
- This is my other daughter, Zoe. - Give her to me!
Hey Hey! Hey!...
No! No!
