Big Sky (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 3 - Stand by Your Man - full transcript
- It's nothing
personal, you know that.
- Piss off ya mongrel!
- I've got to check your
catch, it's my job!
- Yeah, and it makes other
people's jobs too bloody hard!
- I don't make the rules, Mario!
- Listen, I'm telling ya one last time.
If you wanna stay healthy,
just keep outta my way,
you got that?
- Hey ray!
I hear you gave Mario a hard time.
- He served it!
It's my job to inspect the fleet.
- Looks like I've timed
it just right then.
- Your turn's coming, I promise ya.
Next time, Tony!
- Hold it!
Police!
Stay where you are!
- Freeze!
- It's my duty to inform you,
you are not obliged to say anything.
If you wish to do so it may be
held in evidence against you.
Do you understand?
- Yes?
- Lightfoot, it's ray Logan.
I gave the cops a tip off.
They just sprung one of the fishermen.
- Excuse me?
- I told you I'd come good.
They're bringing drugs in here.
Banksia bay is a major entry point.
This bust proves that.
- I see.
- It was anonymous.
They don't know about you or me.
- I suppose you know what you've done.
- But you wanted
me to keep an eye out
for anything going on.
That's what I've done.
- How long's it gonna
take to get there?
- Couple of hours, don't
worry, I'm sure she'll wait.
- She is actually a he.
One of my coast watchers,
fella named ray Logan.
Local fisheries inspector.
- What's he done to you?
- I won't know the full
extent of the damage
until I get there.
The fool tipped off the local
police about heroin coming in
through banksia bay via
the fishing fleet.
This morning, they busted a man
carrying less than 20 grams.
- Under regulation size.
Should've thrown him back.
- No, the problem is the
man is not up to it.
He's an enthusiastic amateur.
I've have umphteen tips
from him over the years,
not one of them has checked out.
- So why keep him on?
- He's cheap.
- Well, you know what they say.
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Well, bloke was probably
just trying to impress you.
- He succeeded.
Anyway there's no time to lose,
we'll have to go ahead
with the raid today
before the rest of the field finds out.
- What difference does it make
whether I fly with Blake?
Rosie can get her hours up
just as easy with Paula
as she can with me.
- Scotty, look, it wasn't my decision.
The schedule was on my
desk when I got in.
- Get over it Scotty,
I'm not exactly excited
about it either.
- Well, it's not just that.
- Um, I think that the
boys were hoping to spend
the day together to plan a
buck's night with jimbo.
- How much planning does that need?
All you have to do is
switch on a beer tap
and turn off your brains.
- She doesn't understand.
- Well, I think she has
got it pretty right
but you know, jimbo might not want one.
- Well, he doesn't have a
choice, it's tradition.
- Jimbo.
What do you say to a buck's night?
- Oh, no, no.
It's not really that kind of wedding.
- What do you mean?
- You're not going all
conservative on us, are you?
- No, no, no, it's just um..
Well, come on guys, you know,
you know why we're getting married.
- It's still a wedding.
- Well, yeah, but...
- Have you got a problem with her?
- With what?
- With why she's marrying you.
- No, no, course not.
We're getting married for Max.
- That's him, by the boat.
Give this to him for me.
- Coward.
Why don't you front him yourself.
- I've never met him and I
prefer to keep it that way.
The way he shoots from the lid,
the whole town will know
who I am in 10 minutes.
- Take back coward, how
does gutless bastard sound?
- I better get down to
the police station,
see what I can find out about that chap
who was arrested this morning.
I'll meet you back here in an hour.
- Hey.
Where you off to?
- Oh, post on narrabri, cotton country.
- Oh yeah, tractors parts.
- Yeah, some sort of mechanical stuff.
- Uh, jimbo.
Everything okay?
Are you okay?
- Yeah, aye, I'm okay.
- You don't seem it.
- If it's about that buck's
night, it's just you know...
- No, no, no, it's not that,
it's just a really big number
that you're taking on and its
not gonna be easy for ya.
- I think it'll be okay.
Max is a terrific kid.
- I'm not just talking about Max.
- Yeah, well.
- I just wanted you
to know that I'm here
if you need to talk to anyone
or you need a hand with
anything, or you know.
- Okay, thanks.
But I think it'll be okay.
- Okay.
- Ray Logan?
- Mr. lightfoot.
- No, I'm Chris manning.
Lightfoot couldn't make it.
He asked me to give you this.
- Oh yeah, I guess he's
pretty upset with me eh?
- He thinks you might have
handled things a bit bad.
- Well, I just trying to
prove him I was right.
Hey, hold on.
This isn't fair.
I've always given him good information.
- Well, I don't think that's a problem.
- I can prove this place is
a major entry point, right?
He can't sack me.
- Well, he reckons you've
pulled his chances of doing it.
- Oh..
- Poor bloke was totally gutted.
- I wasn't obliged to pay him anything,
it was just a good will gesture.
- I don't think he even
looked at he damn money.
- Keenness is not enough, Chris.
- You going ahead with
the raid on the fleet?
- I've got no choice.
Thanks to your friend
Logan, it's now or never.
Federal police are on their way,
we'll hit the fleet when
it comes into port today.
- What do you want me to do?
- As soon as we know
they're on their way in,
I want you upstairs to keep
your eye on any stragglers
and take Logan with you, keep
him well out of the way.
- Hey.
- Morning.
Marie crow.
- Jimbo Jones, how are ya?
These for you?
- Hope so!
Yep!
It's taken eight weeks and
they're finally here.
- You got an old Piper eh?
- Tomahawk.
- Oh yeah?
- Held together with blu-TAC and
little bits of barbed wire.
Might be able to get someone
to fly the old girl,
once I get her fixed.
- Oh, piece of cake.
- Oh, you know about
these things, do you?
- Well I've read the manual.
I tell ya what, I could have
a look at it if you like?
- I couldn't afford to pay you.
- Oh that's okay.
- If you mean that, I'm not gonna look
a gift horse in the mouth.
Are you sure?
- Yeah, sure.
See the thing about sticking
your head in an engine in
is that it gives you time to think.
There's nothing I'm rushing back for.
- How many were out last night?
- Four, five counting Tony Rossi.
He went a bit later than the others.
- Well that's five we gotta
make sure come back in.
- Yeah.
Can't believe I'm still doing this.
Thanks Chris.
- Yeah, well, the more
eyes, the better.
How are we doing?
- They're heading for home.
First one's not far off the bay.
- Are they all in?
- Not quite.
There's one still out the back.
Can't make out who it is.
- Well let's take a closer look.
- Lightfoot, Chris.
Most of the herd are
inside the paddock,
just got one straggler.
Gonna try and identify him right now.
- Got that, keep me posted.
- It's Mario.
- Mate of yours?
- Not exactly.
Hates my guts.
- Everybody, stay right where you are!
Federal police!
Show us your hands!
- You think Mario could be the
one bringing the stuff in?
- Sure.
- What's the story between you and him?
- He don't like the way I do my job.
I haven't got time for him either.
It's personal.
- Tony Rossi, don't move.
Federal police.
- Whoa, whoa, hey,
what's all this about?
You should learn to say please.
Just stay there Tony.
We got a warrant to search
the boat, don't move
and don't touch anything.
- What's going on?
- He's just sitting there.
Like he's drifting.
- See anyone?
- Not on the deck.
- Lightfoot, our stray
seems to be lying doggo.
What do you want me to do about it?
- I'll send someone out to collect it.
You might as well come home.
- I suppose I gotta tell ya.
About me and sal.
- Who's sal?
- Mario's wife.
- You find anything yet?
- Lot of fish.
- Fish.
- Is this all yours?
- I thought it was
when my husband died,
then I found out I'm only
a minority shareholder.
- Oh, the bank huh?
- The bank.
Wanna cuppa before we get started?
- Yeah, I wouldn't mind
making a phone call too,
if it's all right?
- Square things with the boss, huh?
- Yeah, sort of.
- And where are you calling from?
- I gotta lift into town.
Calling from the pub.
- You're gonna be pushing
it to get back tonight.
- Yeah, yeah I know.
Even if the garage can weld it,
I don't think I could get
out of here til morning.
- Well, what are you gonna do?
Get a room in a hotel or something?
- Yeah, yeah, I'll do my best.
If worst comes to worst, I
can sleep on the plane.
- What's happening?
- Jimbo's broken down.
He might be stuck in Shannon
Springs for the evening.
- Bummer.
- Uh, take care jimbo,
and I'll see you tomo...
- Hang on, jimbo, do you
want me to tell Jodie?
- Yeah, yeah, that'll
be good if you could.
And tell the blokes I'm really sorry,
I'm sure I'm gonna miss being tied
to a lamppost naked at king's cross.
- I dunno, think I'd like to see that.
- Okay, see ya.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, no worries.
- Sort of, more or less.
It's okay, I can take a hint.
- Maybe the bird's flown.
- Oh, I wouldn't call
it a total wash-out.
We did score a handful of
amphetamines and a bag of grass.
- Still one to come in.
I'm not writing this up
until that last boat's
been stripped bare.
- Should be back by now.
Yup?
- Vince, I think you
guys should get back.
- Mario tannelli?
- Yep.
- That explains why he didn't
come in with the others.
- Murder you think?
- Well, I suppose it
could be accidental
but I wouldn't put the house on it.
Question is, who wanted him dead?
- I'm more interested in why than who.
- Well, he had no drugs form.
There were a couple of assault
charges from a few years back
and the boat was clean.
- Look, there's something
I should tell you.
Ray was having an affair
with the dead man's wife.
- He told you that?
- Yeah, I'm not saying
there's any connection.
- Well, it's worth passing
on to the homicide boys.
- Well?
You gonna say anything?
- Like what?
- Well, you know what ray
was doing last night.
- And you know how vital
confidentiality is to my business.
I've still got a few toes in the water.
If I get a move on, I might
be able to salvage something
from this disaster.
- As I told you, Mario
wouldn't even let me on board
last night.
That saved me a couple of hours.
- Can anyone confirm your whereabouts
between two and say, six?
_ Mrs. tannelli.
- There's no need to
involve sal in this.
When I came back to the dock,
Tony Rossi was just going out.
He saw me.
- We'll be talking to Mr. Rossi.
- Good.
- But even if we can confirm
you were at the dock at two,
we still need to know your
whereabouts after that.
- I'm sorry fellas.
I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
- Let's wait and see
what kind of evidence
the local boys come up with.
- Doesn't sound like
Mario was too popular.
There's gonna have to
be a few suspects.
- Yeah, including your
friend ray Logan.
- Ray Logan couldn't knock
the skin off a custard.
- Even the mildest man
can be moved to murder
under the right circumstances.
- Not him.
He hasn't got it in him.
And I think I know him better than you,
I've actually spent some time with him.
Isn't it more likely that Mario
fell out with some other drug men?
Unless of course you're starting
to doubt your information.
- No, banksia bay was certainly
the major point of entry
but whether the door is closed or not,
we're just gonna have to wait and see.
- Logan, can you come with us?
- What is it about?
Come on, what's it all about?
It's ridiculous, you got no reason.
- We need to question him in connection
to the murder of your husband, Mr.
tannelli.
- But what about Tony?
He must have told you he
saw ray come back in.
- He said he didn't see ray all night
and the neighbor remembers him
getting home well after six A.M.
- It's all right, sal.
Don't worry about it.
They'll soon realize they're
barking up the wrong tree.
- Ah, Chris, someone's on
the phone from banksia bay
looking for lightfoot.
- Chris manning.
- Mr. manning, my
name is Sally tannelli.
We haven't met but I think ray Logan
might have mentioned me to you.
- Yes, he did.
What can I do for you?
- Oh, I really wanted to talk
to someone called lightfoot
but he's not answering his phone.
- And how can I help?
- Ray's been arrested
and I'm not sure what to do.
- Arrested?
- He's gonna be charged with
the murder of my husband.
Lightfoot seems to have a
lot of pull with the police
and I figure he owes ray.
- I'll try and contact lightfoot.
You just sit tight and
try not to worry, okay?
I'll do what I can.
- Thank you.
- I think he deserves some loyalty.
He gave it to you in spades.
- Like enthuasiasm, it isn't enough.
It doesn't pay the rent.
- Oh um, economic rationalism
meets espionage, eh?
- If you like.
Would you stay loyal to a pilot
who kept crashing your planes?
You'd go out of business.
- That's a crude analogy.
Anyhow, you could give him
an alibi if you wanted to.
- Only by perjuring myself.
- You would if it suited you.
- Probably.
- And he was working for you.
- So he says.
But I have no way of
knowing that for sure.
Even if I was prepared to
explain my connection with him.
- So you were just gonna throw
ray Logan to the wolves,
even though you know he's not guilty?
- He had both motive and opportunity.
He was sleeping with the victim's wife.
He was seen in the vicinity
of the victim's boat,
arguing with him at about
the time of the murder.
It's not a bad case.
- Ray Logan is not a murderer.
- I cannot for the
life of me understand
why you want to stick your
neck out for this bloke.
- Because it's right.
And because you weren't.
- Fine.
If that's what you want to do.
I have other lines of
inquiry to pursue.
- Hello!
- Hi.
- We just thought since
the boys weren't here,
and Rosie's out celebrating...
- And Chris is busy.
- And jimbo's not here.
- You know what we mean.
- Look, something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue.
We should be able to sort out
some pretty amazing
outfits from this lot.
- And dum, ta, da!
- I'm gonna try and find some glasses.
- Okay.
So, are you starting
to feel a bit nervous?
- Oh, I dunno.
It's not exactly the kind of
wedding I imagine I'd have.
- No hearts or flowers huh?
- Not that so much, just
well we all fantasize about
that perfect man, madly
in love with us.
Not marrying someone who loves my kid.
- Hey, it's not a bad start.
- Yeah, I know.
I'm really grateful, I can't
believe he's doing it.
I've been giving him a
hard time lately too.
- It's gonna be a great wedding, Jodie.
- Yeah, we'll make sure of that.
- Yeah well, kev was six foot
four and about 16 stone.
- You sure it's all right
for me to stay the night?
- Course it is.
Look, it's you doing me a favor.
- Yeah, should just take
me a couple more hours
to fix that old crate of yours.
- Besides, I'm sure that
whoever or whatever
you're running away from
can wait another day.
- It's that obvious is it?
- I'm sure it's none of my business.
- I just need some time
to sort everything out.
You know, away from everything.
- Honey, you're as welcome
as the rats under the house.
Just as long as you're
not a serial killer.
I'm prepared to bet against that.
- You often gamble with your life?
- Everyday, don't you?
- Of course he'll be back.
- Not so sure.
- Sorry, guys, still no word.
- He's done a runner all right.
- Don't be stupid.
- You got a better explanation?
- Yeah, you don't know him.
Jimbo's just not like that.
- Frenchfry and legion's
full of guys like jimbo.
- Oh yeah? What kind
of guys would they be?
- Guys enough already.
Look, we can only do
what we can do, okay?
Now you can have time to collect
the cake from bobora heads?
- If I get a wriggle on.
- Ah, start wriggling.
And look, Scotty and Rosie are
gonna be back by one o'clock
from bega so they're
gonna have enough time
to organize the venue and
all that sort of stuff.
Okay, what about the flowers?
- Um, not only bought but paid for.
They will be there on time.
- Great, now all we have to do
is wait for jimbo to show up.
- Yeah, you better actually ring
that hotel in Shannon Springs,
see when he's checked out
if he's checked out.
- Oh yeah, but I can't
remember the name.
- Oh, just ring them all,
there can't be too many.
- Okay.
- Are you sure not even a
b&b or a holiday farm?
100 k's huh?
No, it just doesn't
seem like it, does it?
Thank you.
- What's up, Shay?
- I can't find jimbo.
He said he was staying at
hotel at Shannon Springs,
except there is no hotel and
there's no accommodation
of any kind for at least 100 k's.
- Well, maybe he slept on the plane.
- Yeah, so why isn't he
answering his radio?
- I give up.
Why isn't he answering his radio?
- Rosie, I'm serious.
What if he doesn't come back?
What if I have to cancel the wedding?
- He'll be back.
- Yeah, well, I wish I
could be sure of that.
- Seriously, have we
got a situation here,
is it usual for jimbo
to go out of his way
to stuff things up?
- Yeah.
- And yeah.
- Oh.
- Tango whisky's here and
I'm close to banksia bay.
Request clearance to land.
- Tango whisky Sierra, clear to land.
- Copy that, banksia bay.
- Tony.
- Sal, I'm really sorry
about what's happened.
- Yeah, thanks.
- I mean, we had our
differences, Mario and me,
as you know.
But he wasn't a bad bloke.
- You know what he was like, Tony.
He was violent, brutal man.
- Did he know about you and ray?
- If he'd even suspected,
he would've fed us both to the sharks.
It stopped you from trying it on.
- What's he got that I haven't, eh?
Your little Matey.
- Everything.
- You wouldn't be Sally
tannelli, would you?
I'm Chris manning.
- Oh, Mr. manning, I'm
so pleased to see you.
That lightfoot bloke not with you?
- No.
Look, I'm gonna go and see ray.
You wanna come?
- Yeah, please.
- Who's that bloke?
- Tony Rossi.
My husband's ex-partner.
They had some major falling out,
I don't know what it was about.
But I know he's lying about
what time ray came in the other night.
- We traced the banksia bay
catch to this cold store.
- Dryden's just arrived,
he'll be collecting
the fish any moment.
- Yeah, off you go.
Dryden's here, we're going in.
Okay, good.
- Hiya Jack.
- Mr. dryden.
- The regular shipment arrived?
- Ready and waiting.
- Thank you, Mr. dryden.
Nice catch.
- Ah, shifter?
Yeah, so I was stuck, well
I thought he was mine.
- Didn't you hate it when you found out
she'd been a bit
careless with the truth?
- Yeah, a little bit.
- Could you squirt some
magic stuff on that?
Thanks.
I could see where she was coming from.
She just wanted what
was best for the kid.
- What about Max?
Did you feel different about him?
- Max is a great kid, I get
on really well with him
that's why it didn't matter.
So when they came down to Sydney
and she asked me to look
after him, you know,
in case she wasn't gonna be around,
I didn't think twice.
- And now you're having
second thoughts?
No one can blame you, it's
a big responsibility.
- Yeah, but that's just it,
I don't mind the responsibility
of looking after Max.
Being a single parent, that's fine.
- So what's your problem, jimbo?
- I dunno, it's just.
Just doesn't feel right anymore.
- Are you sure it's just not
this whole marriage thing?
Some blokes would rather
wrestle a shark than say I do.
- Nah, not me.
- Well, if it's not that
and it's not the kid,
there must have something
to do with the woman.
- Like what?
- Well maybe, deep down inside,
you don't really like her.
- No, no, I love her.
I do love her.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
- You gonna tell her?
- I dunno.
- Don't be afraid of grief, jimbo.
You know you're gonna lose her
so you've tried to pretend
to yourself that you don't
really and truly love her.
Then when she dies, it'll
be easier to handle.
- Do you think?
- I think that's what you think.
Problem is, is that by the
time you let yourself
feel it all, you'll be too late.
I know because when kev got
sick, I just shut down.
I went into total denial.
- The hard thing though
is she doesn't love me.
Not in a way you want
a woman to love you.
- Are you sure she doesn't?
- She treats me more
like a brother you know?
She's never used the l word.
- But then neither have you, have you?
- I know it doesn't look
good but there is bound
to be a perfectly logical
explanation for this.
- I just feel really guilty.
I feel like I forced him
to give everything up.
- Look, I don't believe that jimbo
would just walk out on
you and Max like that.
- I've had a feeling about this.
I think maybe I've put too
much pressure on him.
- Jody, there's still plenty of time,
he hasn't missed anything yet.
- Shay, he's not where he
said he's gonna be, is he?
He's obviously not
communication with anyone.
- Yeah but bottom line, he's
hardly gonna steal a plane.
- He's probably left it where it landed
and got a train to perth or something.
- Jodie, look.
It's a little bit too soon
to be assuming the worst,
don't you think?
- I dunno, you can't
blame him I suppose.
Why would you wanna be stuck
with someone else's kid
for the rest of your life?
- Because he said he wanted to.
- Yeah, well he's obviously
changed his mind.
I might as well start packing.
Just forget this whole crazy
idea and just go home.
- Ray.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
- How are they treating you?
- Oh good.
Decent blokes here.
Good of you to come back Chris.
- I don't know if I can do much.
But if I can help in anyway as
lightfoot's representative...
- Pity the mystery man won't
do something himself.
- Well he's in a difficult situation.
The less people that knows what
he looks like, the better.
- Sure.
I'll be out of here soon.
I don't know if they'll even charge me.
They'll only keep me here as
long as they're allowed to
and then...
- This town won't see us for dust.
- Who do you think did it, ray?
- The only thing I'll stake my life on
is that it's drug related.
- But you said before you didn't
think Mario was involved.
- Yeah, well, definitely not
the type to be involved
in drugs but I guess if
he found out about it,
he might've tried to blackmail
whoever's doing it.
That's more his style.
- What about the ex-partner?
- Tony Rossi?
Yeah, he could've been a contender.
I always wanted to know why
him and Mario split up.
They've been partners for years.
- I might have a word with Tony.
- Big sky, this is
Juliet Oscar Charlie.
- Jimbo.
Juliet Oscar, where are you,
and where the hell have you been?
- Sorry guys, I had a bit
of a temporary brain sprain
but it's all right now.
- That's great jimbo but Jodie and Max
are booked on a train to
go home this evening.
- Say again, big sky?
- Yeah, you heard right mate.
We're gonna be all dressed up
with no place to go tomorrow
unless you get back here asap.
- Yeah, with a really terrific excuse
and the world's best grovel.
- Just get your backside
into the cockpit
and pray for tail wind.
- I hear what you're
saying, I'm traveling.
Juliet Oscar.
- Good luck.
If she won't have you,
I could use a good looking
pilot round here.
- Manning.
- Things you see when
you haven't got a gun.
Change your mind?
- What do you mean?
- Thought you were happy to
let ray dangle in the breeze.
- Nothing to do with Logan.
If you want to waste your
time trying to save him,
that's your affair.
I told you I'd say that
one of my contacts
would bring me back here and it has.
- Oh good.
Everything all right
back at the base, Blake?
- Yes sir, jimbo's finally called in.
- Did he say what, uh, forget it.
I'm sure I'll hear about it later.
- Sure we are will, sir.
- So where were you off to?
- We're gonna see Mario's ex-partner.
Bloke called Tony Rossi.
I think he's got a few
questions to answer.
- Certainly has, I just
have him detained.
I'm on my way to question him
before he has major heroin
importing charges laid against him.
- Juliet Oscar Charlie here, big sky.
The tail wind I was praying for,
it's hitting me right on the nose.
- Juliet Oscar, pray harder.
- Do you think any of you could
put in a good word for me?
I think my credit limit
upstairs is overdrawn.
- Jimbo, look, given
present cause and speed,
can you give me an eta please?
- Uh..
About two hours.
Look, do any of you know
if the north coast trains
are running to schedule?
- To the minute, jimbo,
I've already checked.
- Damn.
- Sorry, can't read you,
say again, Juliet Oscar.
- No, sorry, curses, what the dickens,
by crikey that's bad, nevermind.
- Copy that, Juliet Oscar.
I can't believe, two hours,
he's gonna be another two hours.
- Big sky, I don't
suppose there's any chance
you can set up a road
block outside central
or phone in a bomb threat
or how about getting them
to suddenly go on strike?
Or you could..
- We're just gonna have
a little chat, Tony.
- I'm not saying anything
until my solicitor gets here.
- Feel free, dryden's told us
everything we need to know.
I'd just thought you
might like to score
a few brownie points by telling
us about your suppliers.
- Sorry, I'm not the suicidal type.
- But you don't mind a little
murder between friends?
- What's he talking about?
- We know Mario was onto
your business enterprises
and trying a little blackmail.
And if those blood samples we took
from your sea boot match his,
you're gonna have to deal with
homicide as well as this.
- You can't pin that on me.
It was an accident.
We were arguing.
A wave hit the boat just
as he took a swing at me.
He went down and hit
his head on the winch.
- I think we better take a
look at those boots now.
- Paula, well?
- Well, what?
- Come on, don't play
games, are they at home,
are they at the station?
What, where?
- Train left half an hour ago, jimbo.
- Oh, I'm glad you're
finding it amusing.
I might have just made
the worst decision
of my entire miserable life.
- Yeah. You certainly did cut it fine.
- What?
- Well, I offered to give
Jodie and Max to the station
but no, left out running a bit late
and then you know that traffic
around redfern, very bad.
- Have they missed the train?
- Yeah, by that much.
- You're beautiful!
Where are they?
- At home, unpacking.
Jimbo, you really did cut it fine.
- Jimbo.
- Sorry, I didn't ring.
- Why didn't you tell me
you were freaking out?
Look, I never wanted you to feel
like you had to marry me
if it wasn't for Max...
- Sh, listen.
Look, I realize something today.
I think I've known for
quite a while but
I was afraid.
Look, I don't know if you
love me like I love you but,
I want you to know that,
I love you with all my heart and soul
and I wanna marry you
more than anything
I've ever wanted in my entire life.
- Really?
- And I want you to stay
here as long as you can.
'Cause the idea of being
apart from you just,
just scares the hell out of me.
- Okay, I will.
I do love you just
exactly the same way.
- He picks it up at night in drums,
would've been dropped
overboard in tanks.
And he stashes it right
over everybody's noses
in the cold store.
And then he sends a regular
freight to Sydney,
pre-sold to the same buyer.
- Reasonably imaginative operation.
Suppose I shouldn't have been
so critical of Logan for
not working it all out.
- He came pretty damn close.
Do you believe Rossi's
story of how Mario died?
- Reason why they split is obvious.
Mario didn't want to
risk direct involvement.
Tony and his partners in crime may have
just got tired of
paying through silence.
- I have to tell you, I would've
found it difficult to keep
working with you, if you didn't
help get ray off the hook.
I was starting to wonder
what kind of support
I could count on if I
ever got into strife.
- You and your people are different.
- Maybe we just place
higher value on loyalty.
- We are all here today..
- Okay, hush, hush, hush!
- I promise this won't be a long speech
but I think somebody
oughta say something
and that somebody oughta be me.
Now, what can I say?
Jimbo, you don't deserve it
but you've scored yourself
a beautiful woman.
I know you understand that
but I wonder if Jodie knows what
she's getting herself in for.
Jodie, if you're looking
for a practical, reliable,
feet on the ground type of guy,
and I'm sorry but you've missed out.
But, if you're looking for a
generous, warm, loving person,
somebody know doesn't have
a mean bone in their body,
and somebody you know will
always be there for you,
then you couldn't have done any better.
I wish you joy and happiness.
Jimbo and Jodie!
Jimbo and Jodie!
personal, you know that.
- Piss off ya mongrel!
- I've got to check your
catch, it's my job!
- Yeah, and it makes other
people's jobs too bloody hard!
- I don't make the rules, Mario!
- Listen, I'm telling ya one last time.
If you wanna stay healthy,
just keep outta my way,
you got that?
- Hey ray!
I hear you gave Mario a hard time.
- He served it!
It's my job to inspect the fleet.
- Looks like I've timed
it just right then.
- Your turn's coming, I promise ya.
Next time, Tony!
- Hold it!
Police!
Stay where you are!
- Freeze!
- It's my duty to inform you,
you are not obliged to say anything.
If you wish to do so it may be
held in evidence against you.
Do you understand?
- Yes?
- Lightfoot, it's ray Logan.
I gave the cops a tip off.
They just sprung one of the fishermen.
- Excuse me?
- I told you I'd come good.
They're bringing drugs in here.
Banksia bay is a major entry point.
This bust proves that.
- I see.
- It was anonymous.
They don't know about you or me.
- I suppose you know what you've done.
- But you wanted
me to keep an eye out
for anything going on.
That's what I've done.
- How long's it gonna
take to get there?
- Couple of hours, don't
worry, I'm sure she'll wait.
- She is actually a he.
One of my coast watchers,
fella named ray Logan.
Local fisheries inspector.
- What's he done to you?
- I won't know the full
extent of the damage
until I get there.
The fool tipped off the local
police about heroin coming in
through banksia bay via
the fishing fleet.
This morning, they busted a man
carrying less than 20 grams.
- Under regulation size.
Should've thrown him back.
- No, the problem is the
man is not up to it.
He's an enthusiastic amateur.
I've have umphteen tips
from him over the years,
not one of them has checked out.
- So why keep him on?
- He's cheap.
- Well, you know what they say.
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Well, bloke was probably
just trying to impress you.
- He succeeded.
Anyway there's no time to lose,
we'll have to go ahead
with the raid today
before the rest of the field finds out.
- What difference does it make
whether I fly with Blake?
Rosie can get her hours up
just as easy with Paula
as she can with me.
- Scotty, look, it wasn't my decision.
The schedule was on my
desk when I got in.
- Get over it Scotty,
I'm not exactly excited
about it either.
- Well, it's not just that.
- Um, I think that the
boys were hoping to spend
the day together to plan a
buck's night with jimbo.
- How much planning does that need?
All you have to do is
switch on a beer tap
and turn off your brains.
- She doesn't understand.
- Well, I think she has
got it pretty right
but you know, jimbo might not want one.
- Well, he doesn't have a
choice, it's tradition.
- Jimbo.
What do you say to a buck's night?
- Oh, no, no.
It's not really that kind of wedding.
- What do you mean?
- You're not going all
conservative on us, are you?
- No, no, no, it's just um..
Well, come on guys, you know,
you know why we're getting married.
- It's still a wedding.
- Well, yeah, but...
- Have you got a problem with her?
- With what?
- With why she's marrying you.
- No, no, course not.
We're getting married for Max.
- That's him, by the boat.
Give this to him for me.
- Coward.
Why don't you front him yourself.
- I've never met him and I
prefer to keep it that way.
The way he shoots from the lid,
the whole town will know
who I am in 10 minutes.
- Take back coward, how
does gutless bastard sound?
- I better get down to
the police station,
see what I can find out about that chap
who was arrested this morning.
I'll meet you back here in an hour.
- Hey.
Where you off to?
- Oh, post on narrabri, cotton country.
- Oh yeah, tractors parts.
- Yeah, some sort of mechanical stuff.
- Uh, jimbo.
Everything okay?
Are you okay?
- Yeah, aye, I'm okay.
- You don't seem it.
- If it's about that buck's
night, it's just you know...
- No, no, no, it's not that,
it's just a really big number
that you're taking on and its
not gonna be easy for ya.
- I think it'll be okay.
Max is a terrific kid.
- I'm not just talking about Max.
- Yeah, well.
- I just wanted you
to know that I'm here
if you need to talk to anyone
or you need a hand with
anything, or you know.
- Okay, thanks.
But I think it'll be okay.
- Okay.
- Ray Logan?
- Mr. lightfoot.
- No, I'm Chris manning.
Lightfoot couldn't make it.
He asked me to give you this.
- Oh yeah, I guess he's
pretty upset with me eh?
- He thinks you might have
handled things a bit bad.
- Well, I just trying to
prove him I was right.
Hey, hold on.
This isn't fair.
I've always given him good information.
- Well, I don't think that's a problem.
- I can prove this place is
a major entry point, right?
He can't sack me.
- Well, he reckons you've
pulled his chances of doing it.
- Oh..
- Poor bloke was totally gutted.
- I wasn't obliged to pay him anything,
it was just a good will gesture.
- I don't think he even
looked at he damn money.
- Keenness is not enough, Chris.
- You going ahead with
the raid on the fleet?
- I've got no choice.
Thanks to your friend
Logan, it's now or never.
Federal police are on their way,
we'll hit the fleet when
it comes into port today.
- What do you want me to do?
- As soon as we know
they're on their way in,
I want you upstairs to keep
your eye on any stragglers
and take Logan with you, keep
him well out of the way.
- Hey.
- Morning.
Marie crow.
- Jimbo Jones, how are ya?
These for you?
- Hope so!
Yep!
It's taken eight weeks and
they're finally here.
- You got an old Piper eh?
- Tomahawk.
- Oh yeah?
- Held together with blu-TAC and
little bits of barbed wire.
Might be able to get someone
to fly the old girl,
once I get her fixed.
- Oh, piece of cake.
- Oh, you know about
these things, do you?
- Well I've read the manual.
I tell ya what, I could have
a look at it if you like?
- I couldn't afford to pay you.
- Oh that's okay.
- If you mean that, I'm not gonna look
a gift horse in the mouth.
Are you sure?
- Yeah, sure.
See the thing about sticking
your head in an engine in
is that it gives you time to think.
There's nothing I'm rushing back for.
- How many were out last night?
- Four, five counting Tony Rossi.
He went a bit later than the others.
- Well that's five we gotta
make sure come back in.
- Yeah.
Can't believe I'm still doing this.
Thanks Chris.
- Yeah, well, the more
eyes, the better.
How are we doing?
- They're heading for home.
First one's not far off the bay.
- Are they all in?
- Not quite.
There's one still out the back.
Can't make out who it is.
- Well let's take a closer look.
- Lightfoot, Chris.
Most of the herd are
inside the paddock,
just got one straggler.
Gonna try and identify him right now.
- Got that, keep me posted.
- It's Mario.
- Mate of yours?
- Not exactly.
Hates my guts.
- Everybody, stay right where you are!
Federal police!
Show us your hands!
- You think Mario could be the
one bringing the stuff in?
- Sure.
- What's the story between you and him?
- He don't like the way I do my job.
I haven't got time for him either.
It's personal.
- Tony Rossi, don't move.
Federal police.
- Whoa, whoa, hey,
what's all this about?
You should learn to say please.
Just stay there Tony.
We got a warrant to search
the boat, don't move
and don't touch anything.
- What's going on?
- He's just sitting there.
Like he's drifting.
- See anyone?
- Not on the deck.
- Lightfoot, our stray
seems to be lying doggo.
What do you want me to do about it?
- I'll send someone out to collect it.
You might as well come home.
- I suppose I gotta tell ya.
About me and sal.
- Who's sal?
- Mario's wife.
- You find anything yet?
- Lot of fish.
- Fish.
- Is this all yours?
- I thought it was
when my husband died,
then I found out I'm only
a minority shareholder.
- Oh, the bank huh?
- The bank.
Wanna cuppa before we get started?
- Yeah, I wouldn't mind
making a phone call too,
if it's all right?
- Square things with the boss, huh?
- Yeah, sort of.
- And where are you calling from?
- I gotta lift into town.
Calling from the pub.
- You're gonna be pushing
it to get back tonight.
- Yeah, yeah I know.
Even if the garage can weld it,
I don't think I could get
out of here til morning.
- Well, what are you gonna do?
Get a room in a hotel or something?
- Yeah, yeah, I'll do my best.
If worst comes to worst, I
can sleep on the plane.
- What's happening?
- Jimbo's broken down.
He might be stuck in Shannon
Springs for the evening.
- Bummer.
- Uh, take care jimbo,
and I'll see you tomo...
- Hang on, jimbo, do you
want me to tell Jodie?
- Yeah, yeah, that'll
be good if you could.
And tell the blokes I'm really sorry,
I'm sure I'm gonna miss being tied
to a lamppost naked at king's cross.
- I dunno, think I'd like to see that.
- Okay, see ya.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, no worries.
- Sort of, more or less.
It's okay, I can take a hint.
- Maybe the bird's flown.
- Oh, I wouldn't call
it a total wash-out.
We did score a handful of
amphetamines and a bag of grass.
- Still one to come in.
I'm not writing this up
until that last boat's
been stripped bare.
- Should be back by now.
Yup?
- Vince, I think you
guys should get back.
- Mario tannelli?
- Yep.
- That explains why he didn't
come in with the others.
- Murder you think?
- Well, I suppose it
could be accidental
but I wouldn't put the house on it.
Question is, who wanted him dead?
- I'm more interested in why than who.
- Well, he had no drugs form.
There were a couple of assault
charges from a few years back
and the boat was clean.
- Look, there's something
I should tell you.
Ray was having an affair
with the dead man's wife.
- He told you that?
- Yeah, I'm not saying
there's any connection.
- Well, it's worth passing
on to the homicide boys.
- Well?
You gonna say anything?
- Like what?
- Well, you know what ray
was doing last night.
- And you know how vital
confidentiality is to my business.
I've still got a few toes in the water.
If I get a move on, I might
be able to salvage something
from this disaster.
- As I told you, Mario
wouldn't even let me on board
last night.
That saved me a couple of hours.
- Can anyone confirm your whereabouts
between two and say, six?
_ Mrs. tannelli.
- There's no need to
involve sal in this.
When I came back to the dock,
Tony Rossi was just going out.
He saw me.
- We'll be talking to Mr. Rossi.
- Good.
- But even if we can confirm
you were at the dock at two,
we still need to know your
whereabouts after that.
- I'm sorry fellas.
I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
- Let's wait and see
what kind of evidence
the local boys come up with.
- Doesn't sound like
Mario was too popular.
There's gonna have to
be a few suspects.
- Yeah, including your
friend ray Logan.
- Ray Logan couldn't knock
the skin off a custard.
- Even the mildest man
can be moved to murder
under the right circumstances.
- Not him.
He hasn't got it in him.
And I think I know him better than you,
I've actually spent some time with him.
Isn't it more likely that Mario
fell out with some other drug men?
Unless of course you're starting
to doubt your information.
- No, banksia bay was certainly
the major point of entry
but whether the door is closed or not,
we're just gonna have to wait and see.
- Logan, can you come with us?
- What is it about?
Come on, what's it all about?
It's ridiculous, you got no reason.
- We need to question him in connection
to the murder of your husband, Mr.
tannelli.
- But what about Tony?
He must have told you he
saw ray come back in.
- He said he didn't see ray all night
and the neighbor remembers him
getting home well after six A.M.
- It's all right, sal.
Don't worry about it.
They'll soon realize they're
barking up the wrong tree.
- Ah, Chris, someone's on
the phone from banksia bay
looking for lightfoot.
- Chris manning.
- Mr. manning, my
name is Sally tannelli.
We haven't met but I think ray Logan
might have mentioned me to you.
- Yes, he did.
What can I do for you?
- Oh, I really wanted to talk
to someone called lightfoot
but he's not answering his phone.
- And how can I help?
- Ray's been arrested
and I'm not sure what to do.
- Arrested?
- He's gonna be charged with
the murder of my husband.
Lightfoot seems to have a
lot of pull with the police
and I figure he owes ray.
- I'll try and contact lightfoot.
You just sit tight and
try not to worry, okay?
I'll do what I can.
- Thank you.
- I think he deserves some loyalty.
He gave it to you in spades.
- Like enthuasiasm, it isn't enough.
It doesn't pay the rent.
- Oh um, economic rationalism
meets espionage, eh?
- If you like.
Would you stay loyal to a pilot
who kept crashing your planes?
You'd go out of business.
- That's a crude analogy.
Anyhow, you could give him
an alibi if you wanted to.
- Only by perjuring myself.
- You would if it suited you.
- Probably.
- And he was working for you.
- So he says.
But I have no way of
knowing that for sure.
Even if I was prepared to
explain my connection with him.
- So you were just gonna throw
ray Logan to the wolves,
even though you know he's not guilty?
- He had both motive and opportunity.
He was sleeping with the victim's wife.
He was seen in the vicinity
of the victim's boat,
arguing with him at about
the time of the murder.
It's not a bad case.
- Ray Logan is not a murderer.
- I cannot for the
life of me understand
why you want to stick your
neck out for this bloke.
- Because it's right.
And because you weren't.
- Fine.
If that's what you want to do.
I have other lines of
inquiry to pursue.
- Hello!
- Hi.
- We just thought since
the boys weren't here,
and Rosie's out celebrating...
- And Chris is busy.
- And jimbo's not here.
- You know what we mean.
- Look, something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue.
We should be able to sort out
some pretty amazing
outfits from this lot.
- And dum, ta, da!
- I'm gonna try and find some glasses.
- Okay.
So, are you starting
to feel a bit nervous?
- Oh, I dunno.
It's not exactly the kind of
wedding I imagine I'd have.
- No hearts or flowers huh?
- Not that so much, just
well we all fantasize about
that perfect man, madly
in love with us.
Not marrying someone who loves my kid.
- Hey, it's not a bad start.
- Yeah, I know.
I'm really grateful, I can't
believe he's doing it.
I've been giving him a
hard time lately too.
- It's gonna be a great wedding, Jodie.
- Yeah, we'll make sure of that.
- Yeah well, kev was six foot
four and about 16 stone.
- You sure it's all right
for me to stay the night?
- Course it is.
Look, it's you doing me a favor.
- Yeah, should just take
me a couple more hours
to fix that old crate of yours.
- Besides, I'm sure that
whoever or whatever
you're running away from
can wait another day.
- It's that obvious is it?
- I'm sure it's none of my business.
- I just need some time
to sort everything out.
You know, away from everything.
- Honey, you're as welcome
as the rats under the house.
Just as long as you're
not a serial killer.
I'm prepared to bet against that.
- You often gamble with your life?
- Everyday, don't you?
- Of course he'll be back.
- Not so sure.
- Sorry, guys, still no word.
- He's done a runner all right.
- Don't be stupid.
- You got a better explanation?
- Yeah, you don't know him.
Jimbo's just not like that.
- Frenchfry and legion's
full of guys like jimbo.
- Oh yeah? What kind
of guys would they be?
- Guys enough already.
Look, we can only do
what we can do, okay?
Now you can have time to collect
the cake from bobora heads?
- If I get a wriggle on.
- Ah, start wriggling.
And look, Scotty and Rosie are
gonna be back by one o'clock
from bega so they're
gonna have enough time
to organize the venue and
all that sort of stuff.
Okay, what about the flowers?
- Um, not only bought but paid for.
They will be there on time.
- Great, now all we have to do
is wait for jimbo to show up.
- Yeah, you better actually ring
that hotel in Shannon Springs,
see when he's checked out
if he's checked out.
- Oh yeah, but I can't
remember the name.
- Oh, just ring them all,
there can't be too many.
- Okay.
- Are you sure not even a
b&b or a holiday farm?
100 k's huh?
No, it just doesn't
seem like it, does it?
Thank you.
- What's up, Shay?
- I can't find jimbo.
He said he was staying at
hotel at Shannon Springs,
except there is no hotel and
there's no accommodation
of any kind for at least 100 k's.
- Well, maybe he slept on the plane.
- Yeah, so why isn't he
answering his radio?
- I give up.
Why isn't he answering his radio?
- Rosie, I'm serious.
What if he doesn't come back?
What if I have to cancel the wedding?
- He'll be back.
- Yeah, well, I wish I
could be sure of that.
- Seriously, have we
got a situation here,
is it usual for jimbo
to go out of his way
to stuff things up?
- Yeah.
- And yeah.
- Oh.
- Tango whisky's here and
I'm close to banksia bay.
Request clearance to land.
- Tango whisky Sierra, clear to land.
- Copy that, banksia bay.
- Tony.
- Sal, I'm really sorry
about what's happened.
- Yeah, thanks.
- I mean, we had our
differences, Mario and me,
as you know.
But he wasn't a bad bloke.
- You know what he was like, Tony.
He was violent, brutal man.
- Did he know about you and ray?
- If he'd even suspected,
he would've fed us both to the sharks.
It stopped you from trying it on.
- What's he got that I haven't, eh?
Your little Matey.
- Everything.
- You wouldn't be Sally
tannelli, would you?
I'm Chris manning.
- Oh, Mr. manning, I'm
so pleased to see you.
That lightfoot bloke not with you?
- No.
Look, I'm gonna go and see ray.
You wanna come?
- Yeah, please.
- Who's that bloke?
- Tony Rossi.
My husband's ex-partner.
They had some major falling out,
I don't know what it was about.
But I know he's lying about
what time ray came in the other night.
- We traced the banksia bay
catch to this cold store.
- Dryden's just arrived,
he'll be collecting
the fish any moment.
- Yeah, off you go.
Dryden's here, we're going in.
Okay, good.
- Hiya Jack.
- Mr. dryden.
- The regular shipment arrived?
- Ready and waiting.
- Thank you, Mr. dryden.
Nice catch.
- Ah, shifter?
Yeah, so I was stuck, well
I thought he was mine.
- Didn't you hate it when you found out
she'd been a bit
careless with the truth?
- Yeah, a little bit.
- Could you squirt some
magic stuff on that?
Thanks.
I could see where she was coming from.
She just wanted what
was best for the kid.
- What about Max?
Did you feel different about him?
- Max is a great kid, I get
on really well with him
that's why it didn't matter.
So when they came down to Sydney
and she asked me to look
after him, you know,
in case she wasn't gonna be around,
I didn't think twice.
- And now you're having
second thoughts?
No one can blame you, it's
a big responsibility.
- Yeah, but that's just it,
I don't mind the responsibility
of looking after Max.
Being a single parent, that's fine.
- So what's your problem, jimbo?
- I dunno, it's just.
Just doesn't feel right anymore.
- Are you sure it's just not
this whole marriage thing?
Some blokes would rather
wrestle a shark than say I do.
- Nah, not me.
- Well, if it's not that
and it's not the kid,
there must have something
to do with the woman.
- Like what?
- Well maybe, deep down inside,
you don't really like her.
- No, no, I love her.
I do love her.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
- You gonna tell her?
- I dunno.
- Don't be afraid of grief, jimbo.
You know you're gonna lose her
so you've tried to pretend
to yourself that you don't
really and truly love her.
Then when she dies, it'll
be easier to handle.
- Do you think?
- I think that's what you think.
Problem is, is that by the
time you let yourself
feel it all, you'll be too late.
I know because when kev got
sick, I just shut down.
I went into total denial.
- The hard thing though
is she doesn't love me.
Not in a way you want
a woman to love you.
- Are you sure she doesn't?
- She treats me more
like a brother you know?
She's never used the l word.
- But then neither have you, have you?
- I know it doesn't look
good but there is bound
to be a perfectly logical
explanation for this.
- I just feel really guilty.
I feel like I forced him
to give everything up.
- Look, I don't believe that jimbo
would just walk out on
you and Max like that.
- I've had a feeling about this.
I think maybe I've put too
much pressure on him.
- Jody, there's still plenty of time,
he hasn't missed anything yet.
- Shay, he's not where he
said he's gonna be, is he?
He's obviously not
communication with anyone.
- Yeah but bottom line, he's
hardly gonna steal a plane.
- He's probably left it where it landed
and got a train to perth or something.
- Jodie, look.
It's a little bit too soon
to be assuming the worst,
don't you think?
- I dunno, you can't
blame him I suppose.
Why would you wanna be stuck
with someone else's kid
for the rest of your life?
- Because he said he wanted to.
- Yeah, well he's obviously
changed his mind.
I might as well start packing.
Just forget this whole crazy
idea and just go home.
- Ray.
How are you?
- I'm okay.
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
- How are they treating you?
- Oh good.
Decent blokes here.
Good of you to come back Chris.
- I don't know if I can do much.
But if I can help in anyway as
lightfoot's representative...
- Pity the mystery man won't
do something himself.
- Well he's in a difficult situation.
The less people that knows what
he looks like, the better.
- Sure.
I'll be out of here soon.
I don't know if they'll even charge me.
They'll only keep me here as
long as they're allowed to
and then...
- This town won't see us for dust.
- Who do you think did it, ray?
- The only thing I'll stake my life on
is that it's drug related.
- But you said before you didn't
think Mario was involved.
- Yeah, well, definitely not
the type to be involved
in drugs but I guess if
he found out about it,
he might've tried to blackmail
whoever's doing it.
That's more his style.
- What about the ex-partner?
- Tony Rossi?
Yeah, he could've been a contender.
I always wanted to know why
him and Mario split up.
They've been partners for years.
- I might have a word with Tony.
- Big sky, this is
Juliet Oscar Charlie.
- Jimbo.
Juliet Oscar, where are you,
and where the hell have you been?
- Sorry guys, I had a bit
of a temporary brain sprain
but it's all right now.
- That's great jimbo but Jodie and Max
are booked on a train to
go home this evening.
- Say again, big sky?
- Yeah, you heard right mate.
We're gonna be all dressed up
with no place to go tomorrow
unless you get back here asap.
- Yeah, with a really terrific excuse
and the world's best grovel.
- Just get your backside
into the cockpit
and pray for tail wind.
- I hear what you're
saying, I'm traveling.
Juliet Oscar.
- Good luck.
If she won't have you,
I could use a good looking
pilot round here.
- Manning.
- Things you see when
you haven't got a gun.
Change your mind?
- What do you mean?
- Thought you were happy to
let ray dangle in the breeze.
- Nothing to do with Logan.
If you want to waste your
time trying to save him,
that's your affair.
I told you I'd say that
one of my contacts
would bring me back here and it has.
- Oh good.
Everything all right
back at the base, Blake?
- Yes sir, jimbo's finally called in.
- Did he say what, uh, forget it.
I'm sure I'll hear about it later.
- Sure we are will, sir.
- So where were you off to?
- We're gonna see Mario's ex-partner.
Bloke called Tony Rossi.
I think he's got a few
questions to answer.
- Certainly has, I just
have him detained.
I'm on my way to question him
before he has major heroin
importing charges laid against him.
- Juliet Oscar Charlie here, big sky.
The tail wind I was praying for,
it's hitting me right on the nose.
- Juliet Oscar, pray harder.
- Do you think any of you could
put in a good word for me?
I think my credit limit
upstairs is overdrawn.
- Jimbo, look, given
present cause and speed,
can you give me an eta please?
- Uh..
About two hours.
Look, do any of you know
if the north coast trains
are running to schedule?
- To the minute, jimbo,
I've already checked.
- Damn.
- Sorry, can't read you,
say again, Juliet Oscar.
- No, sorry, curses, what the dickens,
by crikey that's bad, nevermind.
- Copy that, Juliet Oscar.
I can't believe, two hours,
he's gonna be another two hours.
- Big sky, I don't
suppose there's any chance
you can set up a road
block outside central
or phone in a bomb threat
or how about getting them
to suddenly go on strike?
Or you could..
- We're just gonna have
a little chat, Tony.
- I'm not saying anything
until my solicitor gets here.
- Feel free, dryden's told us
everything we need to know.
I'd just thought you
might like to score
a few brownie points by telling
us about your suppliers.
- Sorry, I'm not the suicidal type.
- But you don't mind a little
murder between friends?
- What's he talking about?
- We know Mario was onto
your business enterprises
and trying a little blackmail.
And if those blood samples we took
from your sea boot match his,
you're gonna have to deal with
homicide as well as this.
- You can't pin that on me.
It was an accident.
We were arguing.
A wave hit the boat just
as he took a swing at me.
He went down and hit
his head on the winch.
- I think we better take a
look at those boots now.
- Paula, well?
- Well, what?
- Come on, don't play
games, are they at home,
are they at the station?
What, where?
- Train left half an hour ago, jimbo.
- Oh, I'm glad you're
finding it amusing.
I might have just made
the worst decision
of my entire miserable life.
- Yeah. You certainly did cut it fine.
- What?
- Well, I offered to give
Jodie and Max to the station
but no, left out running a bit late
and then you know that traffic
around redfern, very bad.
- Have they missed the train?
- Yeah, by that much.
- You're beautiful!
Where are they?
- At home, unpacking.
Jimbo, you really did cut it fine.
- Jimbo.
- Sorry, I didn't ring.
- Why didn't you tell me
you were freaking out?
Look, I never wanted you to feel
like you had to marry me
if it wasn't for Max...
- Sh, listen.
Look, I realize something today.
I think I've known for
quite a while but
I was afraid.
Look, I don't know if you
love me like I love you but,
I want you to know that,
I love you with all my heart and soul
and I wanna marry you
more than anything
I've ever wanted in my entire life.
- Really?
- And I want you to stay
here as long as you can.
'Cause the idea of being
apart from you just,
just scares the hell out of me.
- Okay, I will.
I do love you just
exactly the same way.
- He picks it up at night in drums,
would've been dropped
overboard in tanks.
And he stashes it right
over everybody's noses
in the cold store.
And then he sends a regular
freight to Sydney,
pre-sold to the same buyer.
- Reasonably imaginative operation.
Suppose I shouldn't have been
so critical of Logan for
not working it all out.
- He came pretty damn close.
Do you believe Rossi's
story of how Mario died?
- Reason why they split is obvious.
Mario didn't want to
risk direct involvement.
Tony and his partners in crime may have
just got tired of
paying through silence.
- I have to tell you, I would've
found it difficult to keep
working with you, if you didn't
help get ray off the hook.
I was starting to wonder
what kind of support
I could count on if I
ever got into strife.
- You and your people are different.
- Maybe we just place
higher value on loyalty.
- We are all here today..
- Okay, hush, hush, hush!
- I promise this won't be a long speech
but I think somebody
oughta say something
and that somebody oughta be me.
Now, what can I say?
Jimbo, you don't deserve it
but you've scored yourself
a beautiful woman.
I know you understand that
but I wonder if Jodie knows what
she's getting herself in for.
Jodie, if you're looking
for a practical, reliable,
feet on the ground type of guy,
and I'm sorry but you've missed out.
But, if you're looking for a
generous, warm, loving person,
somebody know doesn't have
a mean bone in their body,
and somebody you know will
always be there for you,
then you couldn't have done any better.
I wish you joy and happiness.
Jimbo and Jodie!
Jimbo and Jodie!
