Winning Formula (2015) - full transcript

While backpacking around America, two Aussie girls find themselves deep in turtle racing debt to a notorious gangster. Constantly validating each other's bad decisions, they devise crafty plans to keep their heads above water, earning money any way they can while unwittingly becoming tangled in a dark mystery surrounding their family's past. Through the hardest of times, they learn to embrace what is right on their rent-free caravan doorstep: Romance, friends and family. With a side order of juice.

LIZ: I'm just saying if we leave
now, then we don't have to...

TILDA:... We are not leaving
without taking advantage of

these bad boys.
Free breakfast at Buffalo Bills.

Seriously, let's just
cut our losses.

Cut our losses? What part
of this free breakfast buffet at

Buffalo Bills
sounds like a loss to you?

[ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYS]

Let's get real, Lizzo.
Bloody wake up!

Dude, we're already cutting this
vacation short because we don't

have any money and every
activity around this place

involves spending money.

We don't need to spend money
to have a good time, Lizzo.

You know that, right?

[ITALIAN SOUNDING MUSIC PLAYS]

KERRY [VO]: My girls. I'm
as proud as a mother can be.

Always got each others' backs.

And backsides, in this case.
Egging each other on since they

were knee high to a grasshopper.

But they haven't had the most
conventional of upbringings.

Now that there...
is Baz Wentworth.

Now, he and his wife Raelene...
were something of Australian

greyhound royalty.
I mean, she bred flawless dogs.

And he trained
them into champions.

BAZ: Ah... They can't
be beat, these dogs.

Every single race.

We've got the winning formula.

Winning formula or not,
little did Raelene know that Baz

was doing a dodgy and having a
brief but passionate affair with

me. See, I used to work as a
bookie down at the track taking

bets and Baz and
I formed a bond fixing races.

You know, doing some
extra coin on the side.

How could any woman
resist a bloke like Baz?

Anyway, Raelene and I got
knocked up in quick

succession and
nine months later...

Raelene had little
Liz and I had my Matilda.

I like to think of her as a love
child rather than a bastard.

Anyway, in the mid-nineties, Baz
decided to expand his dog racing

empire.

See, he had formed some
connections with the king

did-a-ling of racing
in the great United States.

Land of opportunities, he said.

That's when his business
started to go pear shaped.

He was shaking like
a cockatoo in a cyclone.

I think he'd gotten too mixed
up with his American friends

and gotten in a bit deep.

Then suddenly, his mother-in-law
Opal drops dead. Dead?!

Well, it all looked very
suspicious when...

the autopsy showed
she died of an overdose.

Overdose?! And
then a shipment linked

to Baz and Raelene
was seized full of heroin!

Heroin?!

The very same batch of heroin
that caused Opal to kick the

bucket.

Well, they were both thrown in
the slammer for drug trafficking

and murder. Twenty-five to life.

YOUNG TILDA:
Liz, come play with me.

But that's where I came in. Put
my hand up to raise little Liz

as me own with her half-sister.

Now look at them.
Thick as thieves.

[HONKING AND JAZZY VEGAS

TILDA:
Everything on that!

LIZ:
Oh, blimey.

ROULETTE DEALER:
Twenty-nine black.

TILDA: D'oh!

TILDA: [CONT] Oh, come
on, mate! Don't be a dickhead!

LIZ: We're taking our money
back to Buffalo Bills, you wanker!

TILDA: And you can tell
that frown on tits in there...

she can shove the
chips up her ass!

LIZ: Mate, I really think
we've done our dash here.

TILDA: We just need to find a babe
on a winning streak and get him to

cough up some
of his chips for us.

TILDA: And then w-I could can make
out with him and you can make out

with his friends.

TILDA: Rise. Rise up.
This is Vegas, mate.

LIZ:
Oh, bugger it! It's Vegas!

Whatever happens
in Vegas stays in Vegas.

TILDA:
Oh, shit, yeah, Lizzo!

[GRUNTING AND
NONSENSICAL SOUNDS]

It's Vegas. Vegas. It's Vegas.

It's Vegas. Vegas...

SODA GUY: Hey uh, you
know this isn't Vegas, right?

[BOING SOUND EFFECT]

What [unintelligible] go on,
eh? I'm pretty sure it's Vegas.

JOSE: Ladies, I couldn't help,
but to overhear your accents.

Where are you from, the England?

We're Australian, actually.

Oh. Why don't you come to my
hotel room? My friend is there.

We have been on
something of a winning streak.

Friend, eh, Lizzo?

Do you think it's
really a good idea for us to go

back to his hotel room?

He's a babe and his friend
is no doubt a babe also. Yeah.

Wouldn't kill you to get
some action, sweetheart.

Bloody close up
if you're not careful.

Alright, to your suite,
sweet cheeks.

I carry your bag?

I just don't want to get stuck
with the uggo friend.

Great.

[CALMING MUSIC BEGINS]

♪ SPANISH CANTINA MUSIC BEGINS

Guys. At least we can lie down.

Ooh, hoo, hoo.

BENITO:
Good evening, ladies.

Oh, hi.

Hi, there.

You're South African.

No, no, we're actually
Australian. Who are you?

There's no hot
babes here, by the way...

- Thanks for that.
- That's alright.

My apologies, my
foreign friends.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Benito Hernandez

Rodriguez Lopez.

[DISTANT GUNFIRE SOUND EFFECT]

Oh, that rolls off
the tongue, doesn't it?

What do they call
you for short, man?

Benny. Can I call you Benny?

Call the Jets Benny.

Oh, stop.

Jose here tells me you're
interested in placing a bet.

May I interest you in a wager
upon my two turtle friends here?

Perhaps. So Benny, let me get
this straight. You're betting on

turtles?

Yes.

On turtles?

Yes, turtles.

I'm no biologist, but
they look like tortoises.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure they are.

So what exactly are
you betting they'll do, mate?

They walk. It's turtle racing.

Right-o. So it's kind of like
greyhound racing, but boring as

bat shit. Am I right?

- Yeah.
- Am I right, Jose?

Do yourself a
favor and get that shirt off.

With greyhounds, it
is over too fast.

With turtles, there is...

suspense.

- Wow.
- See what you did there.

Alright.

That was a good one.
Um, how long will it take?

Look, you choose a turtle.
Bud or Miller High Life here.

I back the other.
Place them on the bed.

First one over the line
wins. Understand?

- Mm.
- Just...

We'll discuss.

Uno momento, por favor, eh?
[One moment, please?]

Quesadilla.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

There will be a big babe up
there for you too, Lizzo.

Mate, what's probably completely
loaded and just wants to hang

out with a couple of hot birds
for a minute. And then flick us

some cash and we can
get out of here.

I just feel like this whole
situations dodgy.

Mate, you're from greyhound
racing royalty. I think you can

pick a winning turtle.

Ah, yeah, of course I can.

So, what's the problem?

Okay, mate, I've got my $10
emergency money in my bra.

Do you have the one
hundred dollars, right?

Mate, how do you reckon I paid
for our sweet headdresses and

embellished with sequin
G-bangers and bras?

Use your noggin.

Money well spent though.

I know.

Okay, well, why don't we use
the Buffalo Bill bucks?

Ten thousand Buffalo Bill bucks
to blow at the Buffalo Bill

Breakfast Buffet!

Wrap it up around the Buffalo
Bill bucks. Wrap it around so it

looks really legit.

To be honest, Benito,
I'm not really a competitive

kind of person.

Except when it
comes to winning. Line 'em up!

Alright, people.

- Two in the field.
- No bets across the board.

Bud looks like a good run in.

- All spectators to the apron!
- It's first past the wire.

- One minute to post.
- Ante those wages.

Cause we're going
in $10,000 deep!

Come on, Bud,
you bloody ripper. Get your...

You-you're shaming the name of
Budweiser back there, alright?

Mate.

Mate.

Yeah, hi, can I get
six chicken nuggets, um...

Sorry, did you guys-you guys
wanted two cheeseburgers?

Two cheeseburgers.

- Ketchup.
- Ketchup.

Ten-ten packets of ketchup.

Ten-ten packs of ketchup.

Lit a firecracker up, yeah.

Poke your turtle head out!

Shit.

Well! That was a
bloody hoot, wasn't it?

- Oh my word.
- That was an absolute hoot.

What a lovely time
we've had here.

Thanks very much.

And hoo-roo. Alright.
Just grab the bag...

Just grab our bags
and then we'll be off.

My money.

I'm sure Jose here would like to
handle this in another way if

need be.

Don't mind if I do, Jose.

Hola.

[DOOR KNOCKING SOUND EFFECT]

BEATEN MAN: Don't do it,
girls. Don't bet on the turtles.

[FAINT GUN SHOT]

Where were we?

What the hell is this?

Who the hell is Buffalo Bill?

Oh, they have good
huevos rancheros, ese.

Okay, everybody, let's just
simmer down. I mean, this is

ridiculous.
It's just a couple of turtles.

I mean, you've already got ten
bucks in your hand there...

and an absolute ripper
of a brekkie buffet.

Mate, did you see the stack
of crepes on the brochure?

Oh, and five
different types of eggs.

-Six! Six different...
-Hash browns!

I will need much more than that.

You have three weeks.

You try to defy me
or my bosses' reputation?

Our network stretches
into the highest of ranks.

There are men across this
country with the passion to

torture human beings.

Want to try me, mate?

[ELEVATOR TYPE MUSIC BEGINS]

She'd be up by now.

Just be cool, alright? Just...
She'll freak out if she knows

we're freaking out. Especially
if it's about gambling, so

just... I'm just gonna...

Yeah, okay.

[PHONE RINGING SOUND]

KERRY: Hello?

Hey, mum.

Oh, girls!

Yeah, we're in Vegas.

No, not gambling. Just
enjoying the shows, relaxing.

We've got all our stuff.

How's the garden?

It-well, it's-it's good.

Good. Good to hear.

What's wrong, Liz?

Oh, no, nothing.

Actually, you wouldn't
happen to have an extra ten

grand laying around, would you?

What? What the hell
do you need ten grand for?

No, it's cool.

Actually, something
really bad happened.

She's just joking, mum.
Hey, how you going?

Didn't sound like jokes to me.

Liz made it
sound a little more serious.

No, she's just
yanking your chain.

You know, winding you
up and pulling your leg. Ha!

Yeah, no, we just wanted to
check in and see how you are.

See how the garden is.

It's, well, it's-it's good.

Yeah, alright. Okay, love you.
Love you. Gotta go. Right, bye.

No, go.

What do you reckon?
Of course, no go.

Shit's sake. I mean, if mum knew
that we got into this because of

gambling...

You noticed that bird
circling above us before?

Focus, Tilda!

I bet he's
attracted to our sequins.

Hey, he likes the shiny.

Not-I re-what about we could
rent a car and then steal it.

No, sell it.

Yeah! Cool, I'll just check my
pockets. I've got the money and

the ID card with which to rent a
car. Just kidding! I don't even

have pockets!

Alright, sarcasm is not welcome.

[BIRD SCREECH]

I told you it was coming for us!

Bugger off!

No - It's the sequins! Get your
gear off! Get it off!

just going to Venice Beach.

Ou-our cousin has a caravan.

We have a
cousin in Venice Beach?

Yeah, yeah, on mum's side. Um, I
memorized his address in case of

emergency. I was hoping not
to run into him on this trip

though. A bit dweeby

MACI:
Hey, you know, that's great.

I'm in Santa Monica which is way
close by there, a little nicer.

Who makes this piece

Real fast. It was

Forty, sixty. It was fast.

It was hard to tell cause we
weren't really paying attention.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

So where do you, uh...

No, but seriously, my wife just

Early night then. Get down the

hotties somewhere.

Listen, we have a responsibility
to earn the money back. I think

that we should
get cash-in-hand jobs.

Hand jobs?

What?! Wake up! Wake up.

What?

Okay?

Hm.

So the plan is that we work our
asses off and pay-pay the money

back to Benito. And then we get
the hell out of here, okay?

At what point in this plan do I
get to make out with some hot

bastard?
We're still on vacation,

Liz, so don't forget that.

Vacation has just
become vocation.

You just gotta relax, hey. Just
probably can't take a proper

shit, you're so wound up.

Yes, I want David Duchovny!

Morning, ladies. Don't mean to
disturb you, but I noticed

you... Didn't have any
clothes. I work in fashion.

Well, at a thrift store.

Uh, that's where I got my shirt,
these pants and, huh, my shoes.

Lifting all those heavy bags
must be what keeps you so

muscular.

Oh, ho, ho, well. Well, I'll
just, uh, let you get with it.

Oh, hey, Pits?

Yeah?

Um, could you just leave the
keys with us because I don't

want you just barging in
whenever you feel like it.

Okay, so how are we gonna make
$10,000 in three weeks?

That's-that's a lot of money.

Well, you know when you're in
bed and you're nude...

and mum comes in
and it's kinda embarrassing?

Well, I propose
bed covers, right?

That-with sewn pajamas onto, so
that then when you're lying down

there and it looks like you're
wearing them, but you're not.

You're nude.

- I would buy-I would buy that.
- I know.

I designed an app we could use
to, uh, to-to draw up

a prototype.

Um, I think we could just
improvise the prototype.

Thanks, Pits.

Hang on, you design apps? Cause
I've got-I've got a ripper.

There's someone you
want to be boning, alright?

Um, and so you take a picture of
their face and you take a

picture of your face and then
they get put on bodies that are

then animated so you can see
what it looks like for you to

bone. And there's like sound
effects and different positions

and stuff.

The iBone.

Ahh!

What about, so you
have a weight, right?

But inside that weight is a
spring mechanism with another

weight so it goes at the same
time. So you're probably burning

like double the
amount of calories.

And you just shake it like that?

Yeah.

And like how?

Just like this.

You need to get some wang Lizzo.

Oh, I have one
of those. The weight.

Okay, why don't we just go
outside. It won't cost us a

thing. Just roll up every leaf
in the garden, smoke it, find

the next marijuana.

Are you serious? You know I
don't want anything to do with

any type of drug operation.
Sometimes I worry about you,

Tilda. Just seeing
what happened to our family.

They're innocent, alright? Dad
says they're innocent...

Yeah, okay, Dad says that.
Whatever, they are still in

jail, mate. They may
as well just be dead.

Yeah, we are not having this
conversation right now.

Well, Pits, do you want to make
yourself useful, then?

Oh, well, I don't think I'm
really the, uh, inventor type.

Creatively, I'm - I'm more of
an artist deep down. I like to

stick with what I...

Oh, ho, yeah. Okay, so

Oh... wait, what's that one?

The Supercolossal, if you finish
it all then it's free? Perfect.

Let's get that.

Not possible for one person
to finish the Supercolossal.

Really, I insist. It's on me.

Perfect. Alright. Uh...

We'll have
two of what he's having then.

Yeah, but we
don't need the boosters.

The boosters for my juices
are a natural fountain of youth.

Yes, ladies, of which
my body is living proof.

Right. Can we
boost it up then? Perfect.

He's a bit intense.

Oh, he's harmless.

Oops! I am out of this one.

I think I'll have
to open a new one.

Your juices, Michael.
And two for our visitors.

Thanks.

Enjoy your blend. Namaste.

Yeah.

Whoo.

Right-o, Michael. Hit us
with the knowledge, uh?

I think I'm ready to focus.
Really focus. I mean...

- Me too.
- I can focus now.

- I'm ready to go.
- Michael, we can't moonwalk.

And I hope you never can.

A honey like you with moves like
that, put me out of business.

I'm just searching for the
right advice to dispense.

Centering myself.

[POP DANCE MUSIC BEGINS]

Here it is. No matter what your
performance is, the secret lies

in choosing a character
that people already love.

And be those characters. Embody
them. Let two become one.

Connect intimately. Feel them
deeply inside of you.

Let your body and soul fuse.

I can see that there's a
talented street performer inside

of you.

Might be if you keep playing
your cards right, Michael.

Girls, you can borrow anything
you want. I'm sure my boss would

agree that two lovely ladies
performance qualifies as a good

cause.

Thanks, Nigel. You're an angel.

Imagine mum was here.

Yeah, she always loved a bit of
a dress up, didn't she?

Ah...

hello, gentlemen. My word.
And getting the puppies out

as well, Lizzo. We are bagging
that even if it's not for

costume purposes. Fact.

No. I think it's-it's a
bit too look at me.

Shut the front door!

I'm pretty sure mum has that
exact same onesie.

Huh. Check it out. Fresh
Prince of Bel Air? I'm Will.

You're Hillary.

We just need to...

Support each other?

I miss home.

And mum. But Michael
seems to think we can do it and

he should know.

I believe in you guys.

What are you trying to do?
What's upsetting you?

We should tell him the truth.

We just need to
earn a little bit more money.

Nigel, we have ten thousand
dollars gambling debt and we

have three weeks, well, two
weeks and five days to pay it

back or we're dead. And
that's why we're performing.

Oh. Huh.

Hey, Lizzo. I'm
a bloke, a hairy bloke.

Oh, I'm gonna make
a coat out of your beard

and sell it
to all my little bu...

I was supposed to save these to
put them on the mannequins, but

if you think they'd be helpful.

- I'm Harry Potter.
- I'm Harry Potter.

- Oh, come on.
- Come on, I'm the chosen one.

I'm the chosen one!
No, because you are wearing

a beard and
you're taller than me.

Yes.

Touché, Elizabeth.

Matilda, you'd make
a beautiful Hagrid anyway.

I- Especially with
those cheekbones.

So beautiful.

Nigel!

And you have very long legs.

They're not that long.

Okay, guys, so I think
we've got everything.

Let's pack up and get to work.

It's just such a treat to
be getting looked after by

such a charming guy.

Oh, it's nothing. I'm sure you
have guys throwing themselves at

your feet all the time.

It's more like
she's on her knees.

Your boyfriend is a
very, very lucky guy.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Yeah, she doesn't have a
boyfriend. It's more like heaps

of guys than just one.

You don't stay single for long.

Okay! Let's go, guys. Um, we've
got to concentrate. We've got

work to do. So, let's get all
our costumes and go.

I guess I could grab a juice.
I-Actually, do you know what,

I'm kind of gagging for one.

Well, I'm sorry, Matilda, but I
don't have the funds to procure

that for you at the moment.

I-I've actually-I've
got a plan, I think.

So what are you doing here?

Oh, I'm a teacher's aide, so I
like to come down and get

inspiration for class.

So, you work with kids?

Yeah, I just love
those little suckers.

Hey, you want to hang
out soon, yeah? What?!

Oh, hi, Daddy.
I gotta go. Hi. Bye.

Bye. Dude. Eighty-one
dollars in our first session.

What! What!
What! What! What!

- We are rippers!
- I know!

We're never
gonna have to tell mum.

Hey, she's never
gonna have to know.

Yeah. I know.

I'm really excited. I think, I
think we should go celebrate.

Yes! Okay, let's go get dinner.

Yeah!

But I don't think we should
spend all the money, so.

That we just made. We should
probably just go back home.

Come on. We don't
want to get burnt out.

Yeah, but we need
to be responsible.

No, live a little.
Come on! Fire up, mate.

Let's go get some
dinner. To the juice bar.

Okay. To the juice bar!

And I've had to say to the
customers on numerous, numerous

occasions that I, I cannot and I
will not ever serve the flesh of

a once-living creature. One's-
one's body is the, um... uh,

temple in which the spirit
lingers. And consuming an animal

would only incite conflict
between the spirits within our

own bodily temple. And I, I'm
not saying that, you know,

plants themselves are...

Do you mind if I grab the check?

But the plant
soul is opposed in harmony

with the animal soul together.

Fifty bucks?!

Yeah. That's with your discount
and it doesn't include the tip.

The plant's soul is evolved
and we must also never...

[WHISTLE]

I, I'll be with
you in a minute, sir.

We must never forget...

I'm sorry. I just want to stop
you there. When we asked about

the specials and you recommended
that bean thing, um, you knew

that it was five times the price
of absolutely everything else on

the printed menu?

You said you were celebrating.

Yeah. Well, we didn't
want to celebrate that much.

How about some
dessert for everybody?

Dessert sounds, uh, marvelous.

Today we have a, uh, a vegan
carrot cake and a, a raw date

and cacao brownie.

It's fresh!

It's really...

- Bye, ladies.
- Bye!

Ah! He totally knew that it was
us with the whole Supercolossal

thing. How he kept
saying marvelous all the time.

At least we got a dinner out of
it, you know? It's not like we

completely blew our wad. And I
mean we earned a hundred bucks

almost in the first
sitting. We got ages to go.

We'll be alright.
Don't worry about it.

No, we have to earn four times
the Potter amount every single

day to break even and at the
moment, school kids are our

demographic. And they're only
around like afternoons and

weekends.

LOCAL GIRL:
Spare some money, please?

Have a good one, mate.

So, I guess it's just about
scheduling. We have to maximize

our time somehow, you know?

Alright. Well, alright, then we
spend all tomorrow down on the

boardwalk doing like recon?

Figure out who's
down there, what time.

Okay. And then we can pair the
demographics age business.

Yeah, that's a
good idea. I mean,

we'll lose a day, but I reckon
in the long run it's better.

Sweet.

Okay. So at least we've got one
profitable business that Michael

helped us set up.

Thank god for Nigel giving
us these mad costumes, eh?

As much as our predicament truly
does suck balls, Lizzo, I am so

glad it's you that I'm stuck
with and not some blow-in.

You are sensible. You have got
a good head on your shoulders.

Dude, you're my responsibility.
In a good way. You know, like

mum and dad they were just
such crooks and I feel like...

They are innocent, hey.

Dude, they're as guilty as sin.
But yo, you and mum are my real

family now. And I feel like mum
would be really proud of us if

she saw what we were doing.

Yeah, I mean after the initial
ten years or so of disowning us,

I reckon she'd be really proud

of our teamwork
in this situation.

Do you think she
would disown us?

I would not put it past her.

It's funny to think she's just
on the other side of the ocean.

Do you reckon when
the sun sets here it's like,

rising over there, over there?

No, cause it's like
only seven hours ahead, so.

Oh yeah. No, you're right.

That's a nice thought though.

- Is it?

that we can have you experience

And you are hindering that
opportunity for both of us with

observations that we've made so

far and then we can come up with
a contingency plan and we can

see where the holes
in our market are.

Can you at least acknowledge
my bird pun just now?

So far, we've had hippies,
hobos, tourists, obviously.

We've seen a lot of dogs.

Maybe we could do a
dog wash or something.

What about all these
fit bastards though?

What about them?
What do they like?

Getting more fit.

Yes. Maybe we could do a

actually drop anything.

Hey. Nothing. Still nothing.

Okay. Um, do you want to come in
and have something to eat? And...

Then we'll keep looking. Okay.

Oh. Hey guys.

You're alive.

Yeah.

Where's the money?

Huh? What-what money?
What? Don't you have it?

No. I do not have the money
because you have the money that

is keeping us alive.

Well, when I woke up I just had
nothing. Just nothing.

Nothing?

Where are you going?

She's calling mum.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Hello, mum?

Matilda? What-what's happened?
Are you alright?

Mum, we owe someone
money. We lost a bet.

A bet? You were gambling?

Yeah. We're-
we're in a lot of trouble.

After everything that's
happened with your father?

This family put gambling
to rest a long time ago!

Are you that telling me
you've ignored

the only thing I've
ever asked of you, Tilda?

Momma, we need your help.

Oh, help. Don't you dare use me
as your get out of jail free

card. Not over
something like this.

Ma, I know you're disappointed.

Disappointed doesn't even
begin to describe it.

I have worked very hard to bring
you two up without gambling in

your lives, to-to shape you
into decent, hard-working women.

Oh!

Mum, I'm really stuck.

No, Matilda.
You got yourselves into this and

you need to learn the hard way.

You're on your own.

More harm than good.

Why didn't you just lie to her?
You're really good at that.

I'm really good at lying, am I?
That's what I should have done?

That would have been the
responsible thing to do?

This isn't all my fault. Okay?

Whose fault is it then?

I don't know. Maybe I just got-

Got so filthy drunk...

- Whoa. Me filthy drunk?
- You lost...

You were the one knee-deep in
uppers or downers or whatever

the hell you were doing, you big
party pig. Oh, Matilda, always

- gotta have the best time.
- What hell are you...

Every single time something goes
wrong, it's always me who

figures it out. Oh, let's just
leave it up to Liz. Okay?

I'm sick of it!

I'm gonna figure out
myself this time without you.

Oh, good luck wielding
all that talent of yours on the

boardwalk.

Go to hell, Matilda!

I'll be there soon,
thanks to you, mate!

Michael?

Baby girl, come here. Oh,
man, I was looking for you.

Why do drugs, out of everything
in my life, just always mess

everything up?

Wait. Whoa-whoa,
what do you mean, drugs?

What do you think what I mean?
Matilda at the party.

She was doing drugs!

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure. I didn't come
down in the last shower.

They had white powder all over
their faces. Her and Nigel were

sitting down in-at the party in
front of everyone. And now she's

trying to blame it on me. And
where do you think they got the

money for that? They're probably
double dipping out of our

savings jar. Great teamwork for
a bunch of crackheads.

Do you really remember all that
or are you just kind of filling

in the blanks?

I think I know white powder over
someone's face when I see it.

[OLD TIME MUSIC BEGINS]

Oh, boy. Yeah.
I really messed up.

Oh, it just sucks without her.

You know she has every right to
be mad. But she didn't put you

out. You put yourself out.

No. She didn't want me there.

Can you think of what
you did with the money?

Oh, I don't know. I mean,
I don't know how I could

just lose it all.

Well, she needs you just as much
as you need her. The bond you

have. Your ability to achieve
together is like nothing I've

ever seen.

Yeah, she hates me though.
I let her down and I let

everyone down.

You need to forget your pride,
get back there and figure

something out. You two have
something special. You can-you

can fix this. Liz...

I think
you're awesome. Always have.

I'm crazy about you.

Is there any crawl space
underneath Pattie's house?

Maybe I could hide in there for
a while and you could just bring

me food. I can't believe she
just walked out like that. God!

We're gonna fix this, the two of
us.

Have you considered
perhaps escaping them?

We can't just flee. This guys'
got a reputation to uphold.

We'll get lynched

Yes. But if you stay he'll
probably chop a finger off every

No... I mean, you kill
yourselves. You see, you cant

No, I don't actually
mean kill yourselves.

You mean like, fake it.

Yes.

whole new nightmare.

have a bloody better idea?

Oh, no, you said...
Nigel's got an idea, though.

I have to maintain. I don't

didn't ya?

we're kinda taking
it a little bit slower.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BEGINS]

The direct line to the cops.

No wonder Liz was so
out of control at the party.

He must have
drugged her to take the money.

Steven Craig.

Hm.

Oh, hello. Officers?

Hey, babe. You over twenty-one?
Ha ha. I'm just kidding.

This ain't my jurisdiction.

Officer Cox.
What's the four one one?

Uh, i-i-it's a kidnapping and a
theft. Hell, there's a drug bust

too. Just get down to Truth's
Juices as soon as you can and

put the search out for two
Australian women.

He's not even vegetarian!

Wait, Juan Carlos. This is the
guy who Uncle Baz and Auntie

Raelene were dealing with just
before they went to prison.

Dear Mr. Craig, Thank you for
your services this year.

May we dig holes together for
many more opals in the future.

Opals. Wait. Craig Cargo? These
guys killed my granny.

Seren-bloody-dipity. Not
just a pretty face, is he?

You see, since the nineties,
Juan Carlos had been the head

honcho of the American
sports gambling world.

So, when the Wentworth's
threatened to bring in their

champion greyhound -
Juan Carlos stood to lose a lot.

So, he decided to stop it.

BAZ: Ah, fair suck of the old
sav, Juan Carlos. Ya boofhead!

So Juan Carlos chose to
demonstrate how serious he was.

He gave Truth, Steven Craig,
a call to arrange a hit.

See, Steven had been fired from
a large pharmaceutical company.

But he'd made the right
connections to very quickly

become something
of a local drug lord.

And being the drop kick
that he is, he happily agreed...

sending ultra-potent heroin
disguised as blood pressure

medication to Grandma Opal.

Do not push me
too far, Mr. Wentworth.

Oh, Juan Carlos, you flaming
mongrel. I will not back down.

That was the biggest mistake
of Baz's life. Juan Carlos

decided to make him suffer...
so he sent a shipment of heroin

to the Wentworth's, tipped off
the cops, and framed them as

drug dealers and murderers. And
that was curtains for the

Wentworth empire.

Of course, Juan Carlos saw an
opportunity to make more money

and decided he wanted Steven's
drug operation to himself. So,

he muscled in and
closed it down.

Well, Steven went into hiding
then reemerged, having

reinvented himself into a
hemp-wearing yogi juice bar

owner. A perfect drug front for
a small-scale operation.

Liz's parents are innocent.

I'm gonna make him wish he never
heard the name Michael Saxon.

[BLENDER WHIRRING]

Officers!

Yeah, we got here
pretty quick, huh?

Yeah, you guys said
something about a drug bu-

Ho! Holy! God!

That is a lot of cocaine.

Alright, well, we better take
some pictures of this before,

uh, before it all
disappears, huh?

my cell phone to prove it.

cliff? What the hell...?

there was people in the car.

We had no idea. We really did
not know that until just now.

parasite. Alright, it was my

service to the country!

- You shot that man?
- He was like the big boy.

- You are incredible.
- That is awesome, man.

you killed Grandma Opal with?

Yeah. I mean-Oh.

your first offense, is it?

badly under arrest.
