Previously on "The Sounds"...
Aaaah!
Hayden, that weasel ripped me off.
- Well, how much was left? - Half a kilo.
Mitch is gonna find you. You know that, right?
The Cabbott's wanted someone on the ground
- to protect the Cabbott's interests. - _
Esther Ishikawa is breathing down my neck.
She's coming for yours next.
Who was the guy with the folder?
That's what you're worried about?
Paperwork? Come on, relax.
Stupid little cow!
- Alright. - What is she thinking?
She drove Anette's car off the road.
You really want to know?
I saw your husband doing something that he shouldn't.
What the fuck are you doing with my kid?
- Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! - No! No! No! No!
Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
Okay, okay, I get it, I get it. That's enough.
- Hey. - Morning.
- Jack's not here? - Nah, he's at work.
Which is where I should be, but the she-devil
can't be left at home without adult supervision.
How is Zoe this morning?
Ah! Shhhhh-ugar!
Uh, do you guys have any maple syrup?
We do sugar, like, sugar and we squeeze some
lemon juice on it.
You had that?
That sounds great, yeah, let's do that.
Do you think she'll stay long?
Who, Zoe? I don't give a flying...
fart.
Have you heard any more about what's going on at the factory?
I've heard a lot of things.
And?
Some of it would curl your hair.
Hannah, are you all right?
You just... you seem out of sorts.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking it out on you.
No. Taking what out on me?
I mean, you probably don't even want to think about it.
But if you could do anything, can you please, please
don't let the fishery go under, yeah?
No, of course not.
No, I won't, listen. I'm sorting it out with Stuart.
Tom really made us believe we could turn this dump around.
That sounds like him.
I'll take care of it, I promise.
Let me check my crystal ball.
I see a lot of mornay in your future.
All we'll be able to put on the table the way things are going.
Worse things than too much crayfish.
Tell that to Pelorus's most recently unemployed.
The fishery? Really? That's happening?
It happened.
What, the whole thing's kaput?
Yeah.
If you find Tom Cabbott, throw him back in.
Come on. You can't blame him.
Brendan, hi, yeah. Sorry I missed your call.
_
Now we're talking.
_
Morena whanau. How's the freezer?
Oh, hey.
What have you got?
Look, bubba.
- Look what uncle got. - Oh, my gosh. Look at that.
- Can I touch it? - Yeah. Oh, careful.
- Kia tupato. - Is it too sharp?
- Oh. - What's that?
- Jengas. - You're supposed to be
cleaning your teeth, you little munts.
Mum, Auntie Zoe's done a runner again.
Oh, no, no, no.
Does she do that a lot?
Yep.
Where does she normally go when she takes off?
I don't know, but when Mum finds her she'll go ape.
That thieving little bitch!
Aaah!
Hang on. Circle back.
Look at that.
You know whose that is?
Nah.
I never even noticed it until yesterday.
Right.
I don't know.
Let's check it out.
Now, maybe... maybe try and find a way around that way.
Oh, my God.
So have they found him?
No. Still 100% "unrecovered".
God, Esther, do you have to...
Nate? Are you there?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm here.
On the plus side, it appears Tom was sloppy with his paperwork
and there is a problem with the fishery.
Where the hell is he?
Uh, hang on, Esther.
The meeting's already started.
Dad, it's Esther.
No, it's not Tom. About the business.
She's toast.
I think it's a write-off.
That girl of yours.
Where do you think she's gone?
She'll be on a bus to Christchurch.
Well, you're not going after her?
We can't keep her here against her will.
Believe me, I've tried that.
Where in Christchurch?
Maggie, it's my job to look after Zoe.
Yes, I just... I really wanted to do something
for you for a change.
Look, if you're worried about Bella, don't be.
Alright?
She's exactly where she should be... with us.
Fuck you.
Karl!
Hey, you going out on a shift?
Two days.
I need to lay low for a bit.
Can I tag along?
Could be worth heaps in kiwi dollars.
We can score before we leave?
Come on.
Mind the mess.
_
Uh, just this.
Sweet, two dollars.
Oh, um...
Sorry, we don't do things on tick any more.
No problem.
Good book?
Yeah, it's really good.
You don't happen to know Zoe McGregor, do you?
Yes. She's why we don't do things on tick any more.
Did she come in here this morning and buy a bus ticket?
No. No way. She owes us 50 bucks.
Any idea where I would find her?
If she knows you're looking for her, you won't find her.
- Hi. - Hi.
How are ya, mate? Galway regulars, thanks.
Oh, we've only got menthol.
- Sure, yep, that'll do. - Okay.
That's 26.
Oh, they're two dollars each.
There you go.
30 dollars. Thank you.
Thank you.
I don't have that kind of cash!
I don't care how you do it, just get it!
What was in the yellow folder?
You scared me half to death!
The night of the party. The man who just drove away.
He gave Tom a yellow folder.
The environmental report. Yeah.
I started to tell you last night.
Yeah, and then you left and didn't return my calls.
I thought I could sort it out just now, with him but...
I don't understand.
The deal's signed, so the financing is in place.
What went wrong?
Yes, the deal's signed, but without the report,
there is no deal.
The day after the party, the day Tom went missing.
It starts out all right, but then, as you can see,
there's nothing there.
I can't activate your loan, Stuart.
Not until the Council have it in writing, as promised,
that there'll be no negative impact.
It's the last box to be ticked, and the deadline is so close.
It's a printing glitch.
Give me a couple of hours, I'll sort it.
Sure thing.
But it wasn't a printing glitch.
Tom took a short cut.
And it backfired.
Everything is riding on one environmental report?
I know. Seems a strange ball to drop.
Do we know why he dropped it?
Not yet.
Tom bribed this guy?
Why?
Unless the salmon farms will do harm?
No, no, no!
The farms are honestly as sustainable as they can get,
but the Panias of the world don't want any farming at all.
And if she gets into the wrong ear, well...
So Tom didn't want to take that risk.
But what you're really saying is there wasn't one.
Yeah.
And then the scum bag tripled his fee.
This is everything I thought we were against.
So, they've pulled the plug on the processing factory?
Yeah, and I am not surprised.
I've been into the accounts. There's nothing left.
He wants $200,000?
I don't even have a credit card at the moment.
Well, I'm tapped out, Maggie.
I'm going to lose my house.
Stuart, we cannot let this business collapse.
There's just... there's got to be another way.
Well, could you, you know... a loan, an overdraft?
No. The scrutiny I'm under?
No.
Well, what about Tom's trust fund?
If I take that kind of money out
of my missing husband's account,
do you have any idea what that...
All hell will break loose.
Well, in the circumstances,
could you see if the family would help out?
You want me to ask Frank Cabbott
for money to pay a bribe?
No.
Never.
So they still have time to pull it off
if this report should come through?
Close of business day after tomorrow.
You better make sure it doesn't.
Would you rather the investment was wasted?
It's not our investment.
No, but it's an asset of Tom's,
and in the fullness of time, it will pass to Maggie.
Take care of it, Esther.
Dad, she just lost her husband.
Take care of it.
_
Brendan, this is Esther Ishikawa
calling on behalf of Tom Cabbott.
I'd like to discuss the status of the loan for Pelorus Salmon.
If you can call me back at your earliest convenience.
Isn't she supposed to be leading the search?
Doesn't she normally stick to eight knots?
So, you make an appointment with the bank,
and I'll see if I can scrape together enough money to...
No, I'm going! I'm going!
Hey, no, Pania, no, no! Pania! No.
What's going on?
Kath found something at Matai Bay.
Matai Bay?
It could be nothing.
It's not nothing.
Human remains.
- What?! - Oh, God, honey.
It's not Tom.
Who is it, then?
It's not Tom.
I need to see, Jack.
Hey, where are they going in such a hurry?
Kath's found human remains at Matai Bay, not my husband.
Wait, you're sure it's Matai Bay?
What does everybody here know that I don't?
You don't want to go there on this.
Uh, that'll be faster.
Hey! You can't go there.
You try stopping me.
It's a crime scene, Pania.
You turn around, or I'll have you locked up.
They find a dead body and it's not Tom?
Aroha Kelliher, Ru's daughter.
She was murdered, must be 14, 15 years ago now.
The locals don't like to talk about it.
Yeah, we're real weird about psychos
who murder teenage girls.
Really?
It seems like such a selling point.
You have what Kath calls an "unfortunate manner".
Did you know that?
So how did you know the girl was murdered
if her body only just turned up?
Oh, they caught the murderer.
Local kid, Ryan Cottle.
Pania's son.
But they never did look for Aroha on that side
of the Sounds, right?
I really don't like this town.
Ryan Cottle.
Did 10 years and then came back,
but everyone was pretty septic so he shot through.
That's why Pania is the way she is.
That's why everyone's the way they are.
Ru's wife took off,
Uncle Jack got dark about it, and Mum,
she wasn't like what she is now.
Before Aroha died, she was normal.
They were close?
She was in charge the night it happened.
It was school camp.
We were over at Cook's Cove.
And Ryan ended up convincing Aroha
to go bunking off into the bush.
They got into a fight.
So you were there at the camp?
Yeah.
Ryan ended up coming back, but Aroha didn't.
What's the significance of Matai Bay?
The school camp was over there.
Matai Bay's over there.
It's a long way to move her body.
Just right there. You see it?
Jack?
Move.
The scene guard is on his way.
We won't leave her by herself.
I shouldn't be here.
I told you!
I told you it couldn't have been my boy!
How could he have got her to Matai Bay, eh?
From where they were?
And he was out of it?
Ka pouri ahau.
I'm sorry.
I always have been.
Pania!
I think that the kids snuck out that night.
That's what I believe.
Well, who else wouldn't with that bunch of stiffs
like that for parents?
But I checked Ryan's bag for booze.
He was in trouble with the cops already.
I was on the war path.
I don't know what happened that night.
But I do know one thing. My son never killed Aroha.
How did they get a conviction?
Oh, the poor kid.
He would've said yes to anything after they'd finished with him.
- He confessed? - Mmm.
And not one miserable soul in this tin pot
backwater believed in him.
You did.
You know, I should've left when he did.
But what can I say?
I'm just a natural thorn in the side.
Do you know where he is now?
No. Wouldn't matter if I did.
He's not coming back.
I'm so sorry.
And here you were.
You thought you'd found a pretty little paradise
for your grand plans?
Lady, you picked the wrong town.
You talked to Vicky?
She's, um, on a tour
around Europe with her new husband,
so the cops need to track her down.
Ah, mate.
The whole thing sucks.
And as for the mother, she should've been
run out of town with her waster son.
Will you pull your head in? The guy's got a lot going on.
- Well, he wouldn't if... - Hey! Shut it!
Let's stick together, eh? It's a tough time for everyone.
I'm so sorry, Ru.
I can't even imagine what you must be going through.
Actually of all the people in here, you probably can.
Tom and I really wanted to make a difference here
so whatever's happened with the factory...
The fisheries, mmm.
My boat, all that stuff.
Doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of things,
now, does it?
No, I suppose not.
She'd be 32, my girl.
She'd be the same age as Hannah.
She didn't get a chance to grow up, though, you know?
So in my head, she's still sweet 16.
Can I get you anything?
Um, actually, I was just looking for Stuart.
He's hardly going to show up here, is he?
No. Right. I'm good, thanks.
Hey, you probably want to leave Stu for now.
Annette. It's complicated.
Sure.
For you and me.
No thanks.
But since I'm here, what's this dead girl going to do
to the recovery mission for Tom Cabbott?
Have dinner, and I'll tell you.
I hope you don't mind.
I found some food in the fridge.
I just thought you might be hungry.
Don't know what to say.
Best thing that's happened to me all day.
I want to apologize for coming out to Matai Bay.
I shouldn't have done that.
I needed to see for myself.
It's okay.
Yeah, look, I've cordoned off the area
and left a uniform from Blenheim there for the night
so the CIB can take their time.
Alright, I'll see you first thing.
Um, so what happens next?
Next, the circus comes to town.
So the Criminal Investigation Branch from Wellington.
And they will... ?
They will tear up the hillside looking for evidence.
Pania's son, he was found guilty and served time.
You know about that?
It's hard to avoid talk in a town this small.
Pania swears he's innocent.
Well, he confessed.
Does where they found her make a difference?
Any word from Zoe?
No, but I'm here if she needs me. She knows that.
So do you speak Japanese?
Do you?
No.
But you must have been to Japan, right?
What does that have to do with anything?
It's called getting to know you.
It's called putting your nose in where it's not welcome.
You're right.
Once a journalist.
Speaking of which, the dead girl.
Is she going to bring any trouble?
Her name's Aroha.
Will she bring the media?
In this day and age?
To Pelorus? I don't think so.
Good.
My employers don't want undue attention on Tom.
Well, no one down here cares about a floating Canadian,
so my guess is you'll be fine.
Look. It's been four days.
Tom's not floating.
He's gone.
It's crazy.
After all these years,
a baby in the house.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Everything you've been through.
You're incredible.
Are you still going to think that when I wake you
to do the 3:00 a.m. feed?
Oh, you'll never wake me up for the 3:00 a.m. feeds.
No, probably not.
Whoo-hoo!
Is this going to be a problem for you?
What?
Having me in charge.
No, not at all.
Happy to see you've risen through the ranks,
Detective Senior Sergeant Pilau.
Ryan Cottle's confession was valid.
He retracted it.
He'd had sex with her, argued with her,
he was off his face.
It was a good conviction.
Then why are you here?
Because I know first hand just how blind
small town cops can be.
That's fine by me.
I've got a recovery mission to manage anyway.
HQ has had to prioritize resources,
so as of 1100 hours,
the search for Tom Cabbott is officially over.
You're joking.
You're dreaming if you think you're going to find him now.
This is not my call.
If it was, we'd still be looking, but the resources,
they can only be stretched so far.
But we can keep our own planes up, right?
We could pay volunteers to keep looking.
We don't have to stop.
You can do whatever you like, Maggie,
and I'll help as much as I can.
But we need to be realistic.
How long would you normally keep looking in this situation?
I'm really sorry, Maggie.
Is it that much of a surprise?
You just don't have any idea, do you?
About what?
You heard what he said, right?
They've given up.
Tom's never coming back.
My life is never going to be the same.
You get that, right?
I got it a while back.
Now I'm charged with sorting out
the business and getting out of here.
Leave the business alone.
My instructions are that it is not your problem.
Tom's problems are my problems.
He's made promises to the people in Pelorus.
I intend to keep them.
Well, you'd better be quick.
What does that mean, I better be quick?
Why do you even care so much?
You've been here what, a week?
You don't even know these people.
Tom knew them.
They believed in what he was doing.
You could have a heart, Esther.
Yeah, because that always works out so well.
What happened to you?
Nothing happened to me.
Can you even imagine what this is like?
My husband is dead.
Stuart, who else knows about the deadline
other than the guy at the bank?
Okay, stop using your computer. I think Esther has access.
Yeah, and call me if you hear from Skelton.
Alright? We can't let this happen.
Taking the million dollar yacht out for a spin, eh?
Nice for some.
Got a face like a slapped bum. What did you say to him?
I'm having a bad day.
Yeah. Yeah, I heard.
The search.
You feel like a boat ride?
It's good to have a special place like this to come, eh?
Talk.
Cry, laugh, scream.
Whatever.
Do you think it was Zoe McGregor on the boat with him that day?
You need to let go of that.
That's gonna drive you crazy if you're not careful.
You know, just because he was a dick,
it doesn't mean that you didn't love him.
I'll just give you a moment by yourself, okay?
