What time is it?
Are you trying to get me into trouble?
Yeah if he turns up he can go back home. Righto.
-Hey Jake. -Raymond.
Morning Gil.
Thought you were on holidays. Is everything...
Love is blind Ray.
We're building a honeymoon resort not the Palazzo de fucking Gucci.
Yeah I know Gil.
Good bed to fuck on. The rest doesn't matter.
What's this about designer fittings? Better not be too late to retract.
Well I've got them down to your target price.
l tell you Ray in six months time couples rooting in their Jacuzzis
won't know the pains that went through for this swamp.
All right. Get on with it.
All right so it's just a square?
To start with but I want you to do the whole site.
It's a decent whack of concrete.
Come on I'll show you.
So you're cutting deals now mate?
It’s a bit of a surprise. You saving up for something special?
So this stays between us obviously.
Yep.
Listen Barney you said thirty grand kicks back to me. Is that cash?
Yep.
-Hey Charlie. -Gidday boss.
Forty. Make it 40 and I’ll award you the contract right here.
Wendy I’ll pick up those towels tomorrow on the way in.
Okay great. Thank you.
There you are.
I’ve been calling. Have you had your phone off?
No. l had a meeting.
You know we're at Jake and Jenny's tonight?
Okay.
-Ray? -Yeah?
Since when do you do your own washing?
Found this at the bottom of your closet.
What is it sweetheart?
Hey?
What's the matter darling?
Ray!
Hello?
Hello!
It’s just me babe.
How was your day?
You all right in there?
What are you doing?
-What? -l said what are you doing?
How's Mum?
Yeah she's fine. Kept her company till your sister came home.
Righto. I'm going to have a shower.
What happened to your hand?
You know just a bit of mischief.
Carla!
You gonna get that?
Gidday. Is this your dog?
-Yeah mate yeah. -It is? Right.
-Where was he? -He was in the backyard.
He must have taken a swim.
I’m Ray Yale by the way.
Yeah Ray. Greg Smith. How're you doing?
Yeah not too bad. I’m just across the river.
Good on you.
All right all yours.
All right. Thanks for that. Must have got out the side or something.
-Yeah no worries. -Yeah cheers.
Who was that?
-Why didn't you answer it? -l was out the back.
Blokes are here. You want to put some food on for us?
I’ll be there in a sec.
Good on you.
lf I’m paying someone to go down and have a look what will they charge you?
A thousand bucks? All I’m saying is
you could have one to keep for the same price.
What a fucking shark or a shark cage?
No a shark cage. Shark.
What so you're saying you've just got to make it out of
your standard everyday hardware screen door mate?
Not screen. Fuck no. Security doors. High grade security doors.
You weld four of them together. They seem to keep a great white out easy.
Yeah mate 'cause the last time a couple of fucking great whites
tried to get through my fucking front door mate
it fixed them right up l can tell you.
It would. It would. Fuck spending that. Two days two nights.
No fucking way. For the same price you can have a shark cage for life.
Why don't you just take your caravan down there?
There's this guy Eddie and his friend Leonard.
Whenever they're around there is always something going on.
But it's never been this big.
What are you talking about?
Close your eyes.
Keep them closed.
There's fifty times that.
We have to take it Ray. We have to take it.
What?
You do it. One night when we're out and then we go.
Or l go. You follow later when it's safe.
Hang on. Where did you get it from?
Well think about it. It’s cash. It can't be decent.
Which is why taking it is a bad idea.
What if you ransacked the place?
l can't ransack your place.
Well then we get someone else to do it.
l know we can find someone like that.
Well no it's not just that. It’s just that you know
l mean you'd have to burn the place down if you really wanted this money to disappear.
Hey I’m joking.
-I’m not. -Carla...
Ray can't you see? This is our chance.
Carla you're talking about a really serious crime.
Well it's not like we would be hurting anybody.
What?
Carla no. No.
God it's all talk isn't it?
-What is? -You and me
and going away and leaving your wife.
No no that's not right Carla.
Right. It’s all bullshit.
-lf this is about money... -It’s not about money.
l want... l want you to do something.
Something.
Because for months it's been "Not now. We can't go yet.
"Just wait a little bit longer."
Carla. Carla wait wait wait. Look wait.
Carla what you're suggesting is...
"And the bad news" he says "is you've got 24 hours to live."
And the guy says "Well what the bloody hell's the good news?"
The doctor says "You see that young receptionist there on your way in?"
The guy says "Yeah."
"The good news is I’m fucking her."
That's a good one.
Hey guess what Ray?
You see that young receptionist in there?
The good news is...
-What about Lauren? -It’s just a bit of fun.
Yeah. So did you get the check okay?
-Yeah. -Good good good.
Look what's the possibility of me getting some of my cut up front on this?
-Well how much are we talking here Ray? -Well all of it if possible.
But you know half or... Well yeah half.
Got to watch the quiet ones huh?
Yeah nah you're sweet.
-All right. -I’ll come by your office yeah?
Thanks mate.
-So there's your problem mate. -What?
-See this crack? -Yeah.
Well l don't stock these but l can order one in for you.
-Have it back in operation for you by Friday. -Right.
-Well? -Well what?
Would you like me to go ahead and order it or...
No I'd like you to be able to fix things like that on the spot like you're supposed to.
Well that doesn't answer my question.
Yes make it.
And mate don't leave your ute just sitting there blocking everything.
Sorry about that.
-Hello? -Carla it's me. We need to talk about this.
What are you doing Ray?
I’m outside the house. Listen l am doing something.
I’ve been getting some money together so we...
Ray please don't call me anymore.
Carla wait. You...
-Gidday. -Gidday mate. How're you going?
-Not bad. -Been up to his old tricks again huh?
Yeah yeah.
Must have some bullshit dog food at your house.
Yeah that's true.
Breakdown on Fuller Road.
Yeah why don't you try closing the side gate?
Don't live in a tent. Bye.
Cheers.
Yeah mate...
-l know someone who can help us. -Forget it Ray.
-No I’m serious. -Go home.
No I’ll do it. We can take the money.
But if we're going to do it l just... l just need to know that...
Are you sure?
Hello.
Chris. You Chris?
Sit down.
Wipe the guilty look off your face.
Relax. This is just a lunch with friends.
We're all friends of Roger's so...
Let me talk you through it first.
We don't talk about this or that out loud 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.

Lily.
Listen I’m not going to stay and watch okay? l promise.

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? l forgot to do it.
Yeah don't give him the canned shit. 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 no l 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.
Fuck! l need...

That's Muz.
Shit. Mum. Mum!
Mum! My mother's in there!
Mum! My fucking mother's in there! Mum! No!
Mum! Get the fuck off me!
Mum! Mum!
lf only l 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.
Fuck!
Fuck.
It’s okay. You can come out.
You evil fucking dog.
-What happened? -What do you mean "What happened"?
l called last night. l called and l called it off.
You listen. This wasn't part of the plan.
This isn't what l fucking 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...
-l said tomorrow! -Wait...
What did he say?
He reckons he called it off. Can you fucking 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? -l don't know. l don't know.
-Carla listen... -Ray we have killed someone.
-We're murderers. -No no no no we can fix this.
Who the fuck 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 l 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 l called. l...
You have one week. And don't fuck around. l know who you are.
Great. Okay she'll see you then. Bye.
Hi.
Leonard. What can l do for you?
l was just closing up so is there something that you needed?
-Yeah I’d like to make an appointment. -Okay.
Maybe l could
come in one night after work.
We're open late on Thursdays.
As long as it's you.
6:00 or 6:30?
6:30.
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. l think l know who saw us the other night.
That guy Leonard he came into the salon yesterday.
He was acting all...
l 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?
Fuck!
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 l 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 fuck Ray?
-What the fuck were you doing at my house? -l wasn't at your house.
l saw you at my fucking house. What were you doing there?
Well what were you doing with the generator?
You think I’m a fucking idiot?
-Go home or I’ll call the police. -Go ahead.
I’m just dying to tell them what l saw the other night.
That's got you interested hasn't it? Dickhead.
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 l hear one of the corners is damaged. What's the story?
No it's going to clear up. l 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.
-What's going on? -This reo's not the right size.
No fuck that mate. Get them to pull up some reo.
Hey Charlie pull up some reo from the breached wing. Bring her down.
Come on all of you!
-They're not the same size! -No just do it will you?
-I’m pulling the plug Ray! -What?
-A bloke down south can take it now. -No no this'll be done in a few minutes.
Mate in a few minutes it's going to be a fucking swimming pool.
-Jesus Barney. -Can't keep this shit turning all day mate.
-Barney! -Let it go Ray.
Fuck!
I’m sending these boys home.
Hello?
Who is this?
Is she?
Where's Rita?
She's in the shower.
Fuck l don't know mate. How long does a shower take five minutes?
Yeah l know it was wet Barney but it was just a basic slab job.
Yeah well you wanna go pouring in conditions like that you're an idiot.
You'd be tearing the whole thing up again. I’m going to have to come back.
You know I’ve got a bunch of really big jobs on next week right?
-It's fucking Christmas time. -l make the decision l live with it.
Ray don't tell me how l should run things.
Okay okay. Just how soon can we get you back out here?
Well seems we missed our window this week.
-You got your cash... -No no l need it done this week
-not next week. -Sorry mate no can do.
-Just be ready next time. -Barney...
-Hi. -Gary.
Ray hi. Mind if l take a moment of your time here mate?
No that's okay Gary. Just grab a chair.
So what can l do for you?
Well I’m here on a little matter regarding Leonard Long.
It’s been four days since anyone's seen him.
Really?
l had a look about inside his place.
Yeah? Any clues?
Just that the guy likes porn.
But don't tell anyone l...
His work manifest says this was the last place he was on the job.
Ordered a part for a tip truck.
Yeah he finished up here Christmas Eve.
It was an alternator.
Anything l should know?
Not that l can think of at the moment
but if anything comes to mind I’ll let you know.
Might ask around a few of the boys if that's okay.
Yeah yeah go for it.
Talk about dusting off police procedure.
l feel kind of bad but it's nice to finally have stuff to do.
Bit of a fire. Bit of death now this.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah good on you mate.
-Hello? -Yeah it's Chris.
Yeah I know who it is.
We need to meet.
One two three four five six...
-Hey Barn. -Hey Jake how're you doing mate?
-Good to see you. Excuse me. -Hang tight.
-Hi. How are you? -Jenny this is my wife Lauren.
Hey Ray? Ray? Would you mind grabbing a couple of bottles
of champagne from the garage mate?
-Sure. -Thanks. Cheers.
Just going to the loo.
She's her mum's baby when she does that.
Ray we're in trouble. Greg and Eddie have been to Leonard's.
They're on to us Ray. lf Leonard does know something
-it's just a matter of time... -No no. The police came around.
No one's seen him.
Everyone just thinks he's taken off.
Why would he take off?
Well he broke into the site. Maybe...
Have you guys seen Mia?
-No. -Not here.
Greg is not going to stop Ray.
-Carla... -I’ll get the money
-and I’ll meet you at your office. -Listen to me.
-We can be interstate by morning. -l can't.
Not yet.
lf we don't leave soon something's going to happen.
l know it.
Carla we should get back.
Ten nine eight seven six
five four three two one.
Happy New Year!
Muz!
All right. Yeah yeah yeah. I’ll let you go out.
Did you write this huh? Did you write this?
Is that your perfume? You sent this to me didn't you? You sent this to me!
No l didn't! l don't know what you're talking about.
Please don't rape me.
l wasn't going to hurt you.
l thought that you were blackmailing me.
l thought it was you. I’m sorry.
Why did you let it happen?
Why didn't you call it off?
Hey!
Not yet boys.
-What? -Sorry.
Water out the grid back down then you can break.
Pushing on. Let's go!
-Hi Barney. -Gidday mate.
There you are that's it. That's the last of it.
Let's just hope we can trust that weather page eh?
Yep.
Hey Jake can you sort that out?
Dopey's done it again!
-We'll need to get the trucks in eh? -Yep.
Come on. Put some grunt in there!
Fuck! You're on top of him. Reverse back! Reverse back!
You're on top of him.
I’ll drag him out. Drag him out. Drag him out.
No it'll take too long.
Bring one of your trucks down and get those fucking cement trucks out of the way.
-Come on! -Keep those legs together. Wrap that round.
On my call. All right? One two three up.
Right mate. Get him on the tray. Hold that tight.
Got him under there. It’s all right mate. It’s all right.
Hey hey boys they got him. They got him okay?
-Let's just move this fucking thing. -This is bullshit.
What haven't you ever seen anyone get injured before huh?
Come on back to work.
Well what do you want me to do declare a public fucking holiday?
He's taken care of for Christ's sake. Back you go.
-Come on start this fucking thing! -What the fuck's got into you?
-Jesus mate. -We've got things to do okay?
Things have got to be fucking done and finished.
The concrete's not just going to pour itself is it?
Hey! You! Where the fuck do you think you're going? Get back here.
-Move them out! -You...
Barney mate mate just give me a minute.
We'll move this thing... Fuck it!
Fuck it!
Fuck it. Jake.
Jake.
Mr. Smith. What can l do you for?
Wanted to have a word with you.
Can you give us a minute?
What was all that about today?
That was some performance Ray.
All the boys are saying you should get an Academy Award.
Sorry mate. I’m just under a bit of pressure at the moment you know?
Are you calling in deals? Is that what this is about?
No no no. God no. It’s just the schedule.
You know what Hubbard's like.
Go home Ray. Get some rest.
So how's Leonard?
l mean Charlie. Any word?
lf there's any change I’ll let you know.
All right.
He comes home Christmas Eve makes a couple of calls
takes the bike and seemingly nothing else.
Excuse me.
Gidday Uncle Gil. What's going on?
Really? Okay hold on. I’ll take a ride down.
Where're you going?
Jesus Christ Smithy. Walk up and scare the shit out of me.
Yeah where're you going?
I’m visiting my brother.
l know about the calls.
What?
Don't you dare.
-Don't you fucking insult me. -Hey hey...
-Don't you fucking insult me. -Hey hey l got nothing to hide mate.
Now you listen to me. l got a message from him asking me to call him.
l did. He never got back to me.
Where is he?
Did you hear what l just said? l don't know.
-Where is he? -l don't fucking know.
-Where the fuck is he? -Honest to God!
Fuck l don't have a fucking clue Smithy.
What you think me and Leonard fucked you over?
All right. Well why would l take you to his house then if l was in...
Fuck Smithy!
Where is he?
Fuck! Okay okay all right all right all right I’m gonna tell you! I’m gonna tell you.
All right.
l told him we had something going
but there is no way he had any idea where you'd stashed it.
Mate l didn't know where you'd kept it and half of it was mine.
l thought you were keeping it at your depot.
So who was it then eh?
Who else might have known about it?
Makes you wonder doesn't it?
Come on mate. l know you've thought about it.
Ray.
Can you be ready to leave tonight?
Well l don't know. Maybe. Well yes.
l need you to be ready. Just wait for my call.
Jesus. Greg.
You frightened me.
Working late?
Yeah l was just leaving.
So I’ll see you at home?
I’ve got to ask you something.
Is there something you want to tell me?
About Leonard?
l don't know what you're talking about.
-Don't lie to me! -I’m not!
-Come here. -Greg!
You stole from me.
You burned down our house with my fucking mother in it!
You fucking bitch!
Fuck!
You fucking...
-Jesus Greg what are you... -Open the bag.
-Greg it's... -Open the bag.
Open it!
Come on Greg!
No Greg!
No Greg.
Jake.
What are you doing?
Mate it's not what you're thinking. It was an accident.
What's in here Ray?
l can explain it.
Come on Jake. Just... Let's just go sort this out.
-You're the one who fucked up the grid. -Please just put the shovel down.
Come on Jake talk to me.
I’ll talk. I’ll talk to the cops.
Jake!
Jake it was an accident.
Jake!
Jake! Come on Jake.
Come on mate. Pull over!
Wait Jake!
Jake!
It was an accident! l didn't mean to...
Oh God.
Hey what is this?
What's all that about?
-What'd he do to you? -Nothing.
-Are you telling me the truth? -He didn't do anything.
-All right when was he here? -He didn't hurt me.
l didn't ask you that.
Just tell me when.
The day he didn't show up.
-I’m sorry. -Just you stay here
and pack your stuff okay?
He called Billy!
He called.
I’m sorry.
The baby's fine Mr. Yale.
I’m so sorry about your friend but listen.
You're a real hero you know that? She's going to be okay.
-Carla where are you? -Ray are you here?
No l won't be long. l just have one more thing l have to do.
Come down the side there's nobody here.
Okay.
-Raymond fucking Yale. -Gil you're back.
You're like a deer in the headlights you stupid fucking monkey.
Go ahead answer it.
-Are you listening? -Yeah.
Room 16. Carss Park Motel. You've got 10 minutes.
Right let's go.
One man points his dick in the wrong direction and here we are.
Now l know why you were in such a hurry to cement over that square.
Money. Hey! Money.
-Gary. -Ray.
He's alone. l handcuffed him to the sink.
Who? Who's in there?
Jesus are you serious? Get in there!
Barney.
His ute's out back.
His wife Lauren dobbed him in.
Cooking the books eh Ray?
That's no great invention. Shit I’ve done it myself.
Trouble with blokes like this is they get greedy.
Suck blokes like you in the kickbacks.
Then they blackmail you for your share.
Him and his wife have been doing it for a while.
Then she discovered he's been nailing his secretary.
Thank Christ for infidelity l say.
Now Ray
this whole affair has really hurt me.
You've been a decent worker for me in the past
and for the most part you've saved me money.
But if you fuck me again I’ll fuck you even harder!
You understand? Right.
Now get out of my fucking sight before l change me fucking mind.
I’m sorry.
He says someone else knows.
It’s got nothing to do with this.
It’s been sorted out.
Has it?
-l swear to you on my life. -Your life isn't worth much to me.
Let's start this again. Who else knows?
-Nobody. -Just tell him.
Hey point the gun at me. Point the gun at me.
-One. -She's got nothing to do with this.
-Two. -She's got nothing to do with this.
Hey you've got the wrong idea!
Then what the fuck were you doing at my place?
It’s about something else.
It’s about a kickback at work. Look l made a big mistake.
l did the wrong thing and I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.
But please nobody else knows. l swear to you.
Please let her go.
Please.
l want the money you owe me.
Okay okay. Yeah.
Okay so where is it?
-It’s in there. -Go get it.
-Take it. Please just let us go. -Hey!
You it's okay. Go get it.
Down there. Wait. Open it.
Get on your knees. Turn around.
-Why? What... What... -You just shut up mate.
-Do what I’m telling you. -You've got the money.
-Nobody else knows... -What are you a fucking idiot?
It’s okay. It'll be okay.
We're going to be all right.
What the fuck!
No Ray!
Ray!
