00:04:18All right, I'm going now.
00:04:43Mr Harden?
00:04:44That's right.
00:04:45You're very punctual.
00:04:46Never like to be late, Mr Singer.
00:04:48I might miss out on something good.
00:04:49I was having a gin and tonic.
00:04:51I'll join you, thanks.
00:04:54Great looking day.
00:04:56What do you think of Bondi?
00:04:59Bondi? I like it.
00:05:01I'm proud of it.
00:05:07I don't.
00:05:08How long since you gave up?
00:05:10Oh, I don't know.
00:05:12Roughly two months, 16 days, nine hours.
00:05:22How do I begin?
00:05:23I mean, to confide in a private eye.
00:05:29Who recommended me?
00:05:30The phone book.
00:05:32Oh.
00:05:34It's my husband, John.
00:05:36Two years ago, we went out on his yacht and he never came back.
00:05:40The yacht was washed up on the beach and there was a suicide note in the cabin.
00:05:45It said that John had cancer and he couldn't face it.
00:05:48He'd taken 20 Mogadon and half a bottle of whiskey and he intended to go overboard.
00:05:53He was never found.
00:05:58Did you read the newspaper reports?
00:06:00Yeah.
00:06:01He was in real estate, something like that.
00:06:03Real estate, taxis, pinball machines.
00:06:06You name it.
00:06:08So what's your problem, Mrs. Singer?
00:06:11John may not be dead.
00:06:14Here, I've been sent this.
00:06:22I saw John in Roscoe Street, Mrs. Singer. He looks crooked.
00:06:25There was an investigation at the time, of course.
00:06:27I just want it settled.
00:06:31I want a serious inquiry.
00:06:34There's a check in there and a photograph of John.
00:06:36What else will you need?
00:06:40That's a fair bit of money.
00:06:43I need a list of his business contacts, friends, acquaintances, places he went.
00:06:50I'll look it up for you.
00:06:54I'll get them over to you this afternoon.
00:07:06John Singer.
00:07:24Bruce Ennerby.
00:07:38Hmm.
00:07:43S for Singer.
00:07:45I can't hear you, I can't see you.
00:07:47Along the right-hand wall and you've got 20 seconds.
00:07:51That's interesting.
00:08:01Nice card, has it worked?
00:08:06I don't think so.
00:08:08I don't think so.
00:08:10I don't think so.
00:08:12I don't think so.
00:08:14I don't think so.
00:08:16I don't think so.
00:08:19G'day, you're Ennerby, right?
00:08:22Cliff Hardy.
00:08:24I'm looking for a bloke called John Singer, real estate developer.
00:08:27Drowned himself about two years ago.
00:08:30Now someone thinks he's alive.
00:08:36I've read your articles about him.
00:08:40How do you know I'm Ennerby?
00:08:42Well, aren't you?
00:08:44What do you cost, handy?
00:08:47Hardy.
00:08:49120 a day.
00:08:51Not a good rate for getting dead, is it?
00:08:53I'm not intending to get dead.
00:08:55In addition to which, if you've read my articles, I've already told you what I know.
00:08:59See you.
00:09:17Come on, Ennerby, skip the bullshit.
00:09:19You've got a tape on Singer.
00:09:47You are handy, aren't you?
00:09:50Don't let me stop you.
00:09:58Listen, handy.
00:10:00Everybody who's anybody knows I surf in the morning and I run in the afternoon.
00:10:03How come you don't know?
00:10:05Why don't you telephone for an appointment so I can tell you you can't have one?
00:10:17Ennerby, are you going to talk about Singer or not?
00:10:20No. What's the matter? Are you afraid?
00:10:28Come on, Hardy. Be a good boy.
00:10:30Why don't you ring him?
00:10:32Who are you?
00:10:33I'm Anne. Are you angry?
00:10:35No, I'm clear.
00:10:37Drop over sometime.
00:10:47Does Singer bring these around herself, Hildy?
00:10:49I don't know. The envelope was under the door.
00:10:51Did all right for himself, Singer.
00:10:53Toaster's not working again.
00:10:55It's been in the window box.
00:10:57It's Nepalese salad and don't change the subject.
00:11:00You sign an agreement, you break the toaster, you fix it.
00:11:03It's your turn to put out the garbage.
00:11:05I feel like I'm married again.
00:11:07You would be if you weren't such an arsehole.
00:11:47Bark, bark, bark, bark.
00:12:04How you going?
00:12:05You got a light?
00:12:07You're too young to smoke.
00:12:09I'm too young to do a lot of things.
00:12:11Doesn't stop me, but.
00:12:12I'll bet.
00:12:13How the hell did you get here?
00:12:15Ah, Mr. McCleary. Hot morning, isn't it?
00:12:18He said he wanted to fuck me.
00:12:20Did you?
00:12:22No.
00:12:23Why would she say you did?
00:12:25She reads too much.
00:12:26Can't read.
00:12:27Said he wanted to suck my tits.
00:12:29Just tell me who he is.
00:12:31Ask him yourself.
00:12:32You.
00:12:35Where the hell were you?
00:12:36Sorry, boss. Went for a piss.
00:12:38You piss when I tell you.
00:12:40Anyway, the name's Hardy.
00:12:42Sorry to intrude on your boy's toilet training,
00:12:45but I believe you knew John Singer.
00:12:48You had a company with him?
00:12:51Swimming pool installations.
00:12:55Mr. Singer died.
00:12:57Company faulted.
00:12:59One of those things.
00:13:03Are we getting another swimming pool?
00:13:13Arthur, you're kidding.
00:13:14You journos have your fingers in all the shit.
00:13:16Slow horses, fast girls, little boys.
00:13:19There is no shit about John Singer.
00:13:21What about McCleary? He's a dead-set crim. He has to be.
00:13:23Of course he is. So what?
00:13:24Well, so Singer must be.
00:13:26Nearly.
00:13:27So Singer cut a few corners.
00:13:29So what in this town?
00:13:32Dozens of crims like McCleary want to invest in straight businesses.
00:13:35Where's that drink you owe me?
00:13:37Drink? What drink?
00:13:38For the advice.
00:13:39If there's nothing wrong, who wrote Mrs. Singer the note?
00:13:41G'day, Arthur.
00:13:42Hi, Garth.
00:13:43Someone with a grudge. Maybe she sacked her cleaning lady.
00:13:46More to the point, if there is something wrong, who wrote her the note?
00:13:50Bill Winter.
00:13:52Oh, he's always here.
00:13:55This place is a hole. White wine, thanks, mate.
00:14:03Don't think he likes you?
00:14:04Most politicians don't.
00:14:06Bill Winter's a minister, so he loathes me.
00:14:08I know that bloke.
00:14:09The one in the fawn suit, Fred Ward.
00:14:11Fred Ward, yeah.
00:14:13Fred Ward, he backed a lot of Singer's larger projects.
00:14:15Must have made millions.
00:14:17Singer's dead, Hardy.
00:14:19Fred Ward's big league. Respectable stuff.
00:14:22Not good enough.
00:14:23Of course it's good enough. You're old enough to know that.
00:14:27Look, just watch yourself.
00:14:28There are some pretty heavy blokes out there.
00:14:30I don't smoke.
00:14:31What?
00:14:32My wind's sound, I run away.
00:14:33I'm on expenses. You want lunch?
00:14:35No.
00:14:36No?
00:15:032 p.m. to 2 p.m. on mid-Friday.
00:15:05Please call during these hours to make your appointment.
00:15:08In case of emergency, please call our 24-hour medical service on 210-749. Repeat, 210-749. Thank you.
00:15:34Don't you ever call me a liar again.
00:15:36You knew he didn't have cancer.
00:15:38Why say he did?
00:15:41Why did he say he did?
00:15:42I can't answer that question.
00:15:46You've got to answer.
00:15:48I pay you. I don't have to do anything.
00:15:51How do you want it to turn out, Mrs. Singer?
00:15:53Do you want me to find your husband out there alive somewhere?
00:15:56Or do you hope he's dead?
00:16:03I don't know.
00:16:04And what does that mean?
00:16:05You're not very subtle, are you?
00:16:06You mean you want him to stay dead.
00:16:07I mean I lied to you for a very simple reason.
00:16:09Pride. Female pride.
00:16:12The day John died, he didn't need me to go to his yacht.
00:16:17He went to his girlfriend.
00:16:28Yes?
00:16:30Miss Modesto? Sandy Modesto?
00:16:32Yeah?
00:16:33Got a parcel for you.
00:16:46You're not a parcel.
00:16:48It's Cliff Hardy. It's about John Singer.
00:17:03Don't thank me or anything. I only live here.
00:17:06Thanks.
00:17:12Well?
00:17:15I'm a model.
00:17:16I was up late filming a commercial. We partied on.
00:17:25What's it to you?
00:17:27Been icing the cake, have you?
00:17:28Why don't you get out?
00:17:29You tell me about John Singer and I will.
00:17:32John Singer was a long time ago.
00:17:35In my life, very long.
00:17:37I was in a bad way when I met him and he changed things for me, you know?
00:17:41I guess in the end I asked too much. He couldn't handle it.
00:17:44So now I've told you.
00:17:45Junkie, are you?
00:17:46Get stuffed!
00:17:47I'm working for Mrs. Singer.
00:17:49She thinks John might be a liar.
00:17:51She thinks he might have faked his death so he could run away with you, did he?
00:17:54What did he do?
00:17:56Look, all I know is that I was crazy to see him.
00:17:59As soon as I did, we both knew it was hopeless.
00:18:02He went to his yacht and I came here.
00:18:07Then what did I do?
00:18:09Oh yeah, I went to a disco and picked someone up.
00:18:14And I found out John was dead. I modelled overseas for a year.
00:18:19Who do you think I am?
00:18:21I'm a model.
00:18:22I went overseas for a year.
00:18:26Who told you about me?
00:18:28Mrs. Singer? What do you think of her?
00:18:31What do you think of rich men's wives?
00:18:33Maybe they're lucky.
00:18:37John was great when he wanted to be.
00:18:48Happy birthday, mate.
00:19:23DOOR SLAMS SHUT
00:19:45Hi, Hilary.
00:19:47Hi. Coffee's fresh if you want one.
00:19:49Thanks.
00:19:50No one been looking for me?
00:19:51Nah.
00:19:54How's the boyfriend business?
00:19:56Booming.
00:19:58How many been round today?
00:20:00None. Haven't had time.
00:20:04Have you gone out?
00:20:06Yep. Bondi. Want to come?
00:20:08Nah. Can't speak New Zealand.
00:20:21MUSIC PLAYS
00:20:51MUSIC CONTINUES
00:21:06G'day, Aldo. Bludgeon again.
00:21:08Hello, Cliff. Have a drink.
00:21:10You know where the flagging is.
00:21:15So, the waterway held its pleasure.
00:21:17Don't want a Maltese falcon on your dick.
00:21:19Wouldn't have a big enough transfer, mate.
00:21:21Do it freehand.
00:21:22You're not getting near me, you bastard.
00:21:24Have a smoke, mate.
00:21:25Thanks.
00:21:26Ever heard of a bloke called John Singer?
00:21:28Own a bit of this and that around here?
00:21:30Sure. Dead.
00:21:31That's what they reckon.
00:21:32Thought you might have heard something different, you know?
00:21:34Boat offshore.
00:21:36Frogman.
00:21:37Spaceship. That sort of thing.
00:21:39No, I never heard anything like that.
00:21:41He was money, they said.
00:21:43Very big.
00:21:45Big and small.
00:21:48Had something to do with the Bondi rip.
00:21:50Pinball joint.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:52Yeah, they'll be right.
00:21:59Cool?
00:22:00What with? I haven't got any fucking money.
00:22:08Easy money.
00:22:10You know this bloke?
00:22:13Nah.
00:22:14They tell me he's the owner.
00:22:18I wouldn't know, mate.
00:22:20I work for a guy who works for a guy, you know what I mean?
00:22:22Never seen him in here or out in the streets?
00:22:24No.
00:22:25Come on, you can do better than that, think.
00:22:27I could ask her out.
00:22:29You'd do that, right?
00:22:34Got money?
00:22:40Got a match, mister?
00:22:42Grab his wallet, Rivers.
00:22:48Good punch.
00:22:50You all right?
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:52He was overmatched.
00:22:53I believe you.
00:22:55What did you do, Hardy? Flash your money around?
00:22:57Yeah, stupid.
00:23:00I've been checking you out, Hardy.
00:23:02You're supposed to be good.
00:23:04So what?
00:23:06Look, for me, these punks would have had you.
00:23:08I'm getting old. Leave me alone. He's a junkie.
00:23:10Come on, Lin.
00:23:12You fucking gump.
00:23:14You need a drink.
00:23:15You're not wrong.
00:23:17Not related to Fred Anabry, are you?
00:23:19Boggs?
00:23:20Yeah, bloody good one.
00:23:21Yeah, he had a great vibe with Richards.
00:23:23No relation.
00:23:25I've been thinking, Hardy. Maybe I can help.
00:23:27The singer is on your tapes.
00:23:29I'm onto something big.
00:23:30Ties in with your investigations.
00:23:33Singer alive?
00:23:35Big names.
00:23:37Big deals.
00:23:39Big risks.
00:23:40G'day, Manny. Meet Cliff Hardy.
00:23:42How you going?
00:23:43He's a friend. Cliff just had a dust-up with some junkies.
00:23:45Give him a coffee.
00:23:47Thought you sent a drink.
00:23:48It's a special.
00:23:49It's chicken.
00:23:50You've been fighting again, Bruce.
00:23:52Yep.
00:23:53Break any bonds?
00:23:54No, I just had to raise my voice a bit.
00:23:56Hey, guys. So what can you tell me?
00:23:58Not here, man.
00:24:00In any case, more to the point.
00:24:02What can you do for me?
00:24:04You think about it.
00:24:06See you tomorrow, first thing.
00:24:14Don't worry. I'll pay for this.
00:24:21Special.
00:24:33Hey, Mr. Henry Green.
00:24:35Not today, Leon.
00:24:37I've got something I want to talk to you about.
00:24:39I'll catch you later.
00:24:43Bye.
00:24:57It's not the same deal.
00:24:58You've got to do better than that.
00:24:59You agreed then.
00:25:01Things change.
00:25:02Hello?
00:25:06It's not the same deal.
00:25:07Hello?
00:25:08You've got to do better than that.
00:25:09Oh, hello.
00:25:10You agreed then.
00:25:11You've just missed him.
00:25:13Oh, so much for an appointment.
00:25:15Can you swim?
00:25:17No.
00:25:22Pretty fit for an old bloke.
00:25:24Then I guess you'd know that.
00:25:26You can wait here if you like.
00:25:30I need the sun.
00:25:41I need the sun.
00:26:11I need the sun.
00:26:13I need the sun.
00:26:41I need the sun.

00:27:43I need the sun.
00:27:45I need the sun.
00:27:47I need the sun.
00:27:49I need the sun.
00:27:51I need the sun.

00:28:37Is Bruce Henebury long?
00:28:39I only met him yesterday.
00:28:41Could have been his unlucky day.
00:28:43Anything?
00:28:45You alright?
00:28:47You're a nuisance, Hardy.
00:28:49You could become very unpopular.
00:28:51Who's your client?
00:28:53Can I use his towel?
00:28:55Hardy, this isn't a Greek divorce,
00:28:57a runaway teenager, or the Reaper.
00:28:59No, it's murder.
00:29:01Bruce Henebury sold very expensive dirt.
00:29:03You are not in his league.
00:29:05For God's sake!
00:29:07A man's dead!
00:29:09I beg your pardon.
00:29:11I should have asked you before.
00:29:15Perhaps you know Mr. Hardy's business here.
00:29:17No.
00:29:19Why not?
00:29:21He never told me.
00:29:23You were Henebury's girlfriend.
00:29:25I'm a journalist.
00:29:27Bruce Henebury was very helpful.
00:29:29So you'd know where he stored his dirt.
00:29:31I'm sorry?
00:29:33His tapes.
00:29:35Oh, I don't know.
00:29:39How the hell would I know?
00:29:45Okay.
00:29:59A bearded man in a wetsuit ran to a panel van
00:30:01and was driven away.
00:30:03I did not notice the van's registration number.
00:30:05Well done, Hardy.
00:30:07Hot stuff.
00:30:09Glad to help.
00:30:11I then ran down to the water.
00:30:13What's this?
00:30:15There was a large knife wound in Mr. Henebury's...
00:30:17How do you know it's not a board fin accident?
00:30:19It was a knife.
00:30:21No, we interviewed the other surfers.
00:30:23None of them saw a knife.
00:30:25Well, what about the old Darrow?
00:30:27What Darrow?
00:30:29He's probably down there telling his story to the newspapers right now.
00:30:31His name's Leon.
00:30:33Leon who?
00:30:35I don't know.
00:30:37But you do know him?
00:30:39He was always trying to sell Henebury information.
00:30:41About what?
00:30:43This week
00:30:45it was something about missing persons.
00:30:47What missing persons?
00:30:51I think he invented most of it.
00:30:53It was an excuse to get drink money.
00:30:55Ah, on meth, though, was he?
00:30:57He'd make a great witness.
00:30:59Nothing wrong with meth, though.
00:31:01It's their mercy.
00:31:03I said shut up!
00:31:07Family don't understand me.
00:31:09I said shut up!
00:31:15Not a dry eye in the locker.
00:31:17Anything to add?
00:31:19No.
00:31:21You sure?
00:31:23Sure, I'm sure. I only met Henebury yesterday, I told you.
00:31:25I've only got your word for that.
00:31:27Give me a couple of days clear and I'll give you whatever I get.
00:31:29What do I put in my report?
00:31:31Say I was warned, I'm not going to contradict you.
00:31:33Oh, you're a sneaky bastard, Hardy.
00:31:35Play a lot of logs.
00:31:39Your sheet seems pretty clean.
00:31:41Fake tennis there.
00:31:43Only just.
00:31:45All right, I'll give you 48 hours.
00:31:47Sign.
00:31:49Yep.
00:31:51See you later.
00:31:53This is Marion Singleton.
00:31:55I am not able to take your call at the moment.
00:31:57Please leave your message after the tone.
00:32:01Mr. Singer, this is Cliff Hardy.
00:32:03We've got to meet.
00:32:05Police are involved.
00:32:07I want your instructions, now.
00:32:09Bruce said you kept your ear pretty close to the ground, Manny.
00:32:11Looking for a bloke named Leon Addero.
00:32:13Do you know him?
00:32:15Mm-hmm.
00:32:17Seen him recently?
00:32:19No.
00:32:21Why?
00:32:23Well, I'm working for a lawyer.
00:32:25Holds money for blokes who can't be found.
00:32:27Lots of it.
00:32:29Leon can help you with this?
00:32:31How do you know that?
00:32:33Bruce told me.
00:32:35He's a lawyer.
00:32:37So what's he like, this Leon?
00:32:39Leon?
00:32:41He speaks many languages.
00:32:43So why is he a drunk?
00:32:45Know where he lives?
00:32:47Who knows?
00:32:49Who knows where any of these people live?
00:33:07I don't know.
00:33:09I don't know.
00:33:11I don't know.
00:33:13I don't know.
00:33:15I don't know.

00:33:47I don't know.
00:33:49I don't know.
00:33:51I don't know.
00:33:53I don't know.
00:33:55I don't know.
00:33:57I don't know.
00:33:59I don't know.
00:34:01I don't know.
00:34:03I don't know.
00:34:05I don't know.
00:34:07I don't know.
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:11I don't know.
00:34:13I don't know.
00:34:15I don't know.
00:34:17I don't know.
00:34:19I don't know.
00:34:21I don't know.
00:34:23I don't know.
00:34:25I don't know.
00:34:27I don't know.
00:34:29I don't know.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:33I don't know.
00:34:35I don't know.
00:34:37I don't know.
00:34:39I don't know.
00:34:41I don't know.
00:34:43I don't know.
00:34:45I don't know.
00:34:47I don't know.
00:34:49I don't know.
00:34:51I don't know.
00:34:53I don't know.
00:34:55I don't know.
00:34:57I don't know.
00:34:59Oh, geez, mate.
00:35:01What have I done?
00:35:03Come on, Leon!
00:35:11What the fuck is that?
00:35:13This one we read in the papers.
00:35:15Let's move.
00:35:29Fuck!
00:35:59Fuck!
00:36:15All right, all right, all right.
00:36:17You walked down the alleyway, you heard a shot, you ran.
00:36:19And I got hit.
00:36:21You must have seen something.
00:36:23Shit, I saw a star.
00:36:25Very convenient.
00:36:27Why did you go after Leon, Hardy?
00:36:29What is the connection?
00:36:31He saw Hennepy killed, didn't he?
00:36:33What's going on here?
00:36:35Leon was a witness.
00:36:37Why weren't you guys out looking for him?
00:36:39What are you trying to do, sweep Hennepy under the carpet?
00:36:41Watch it, sport.
00:36:43Your face could have an accident with the wall.
00:36:45Not me, mate.
00:36:47I respect public property.
00:36:49The question is, Hardy, what did Leon have to do with your case?
00:36:51Hasn't anyone ever taken any of this away?
00:36:53Do you want me to throw you in the slammer?
00:36:55You said okay.
00:36:57Your deadline has just been slashed, sport.
00:36:59You come back here at 10 o'clock tonight when you will name names.
00:37:01Goodbye.
00:37:05As regards your license, Hardy,
00:37:07it can be taken away just like that.
00:37:09No one liked Hennepy.
00:37:11I hated his guts.
00:37:13But he was a very interesting man
00:37:15to a lot of people.
00:37:25♪
00:37:55♪
00:38:25♪
00:38:43Good morning.
00:38:51You look awful.
00:38:53Pissed again?
00:38:57I saw a bloke get his guts blown out.
00:38:59Guts are grey and green.
00:39:01Did you know that?
00:39:03I don't stand there like a stunned mullet.
00:39:05I'm not a mullet.
00:39:09You might as well be.
00:39:11Have you been to bed?
00:39:13Look, Hardy,
00:39:15if you can't look after yourself,
00:39:17I'm just going to have to do it for you.
00:39:19Now go and shower.
00:39:21♪
00:39:27I'm sorry.
00:39:31I apologize.
00:39:37Oh, by the way,
00:39:39there was a call for you.
00:39:41Marian Singer?
00:39:43No, she called herself Sandy Modesto.
00:39:45♪
00:39:51♪
00:40:01Okay.
00:40:03Very nice.
00:40:05Hey, that's mine!
00:40:07Piss off, woman.
00:40:11You ever seen a blonde dame come out of there?
00:40:13I don't believe you.
00:40:21♪
00:40:51♪
00:41:21♪
00:41:37♪
00:41:51♪
00:41:59Is he the daddy?
00:42:01♪
00:42:03♪
00:42:17Hildy, it's me.
00:42:19Mrs. Singer in?
00:42:23Good.
00:42:25Hold on a minute. Where?
00:42:29Where?
00:42:31Oh, and listen, there was another message.
00:42:33Well, she sounded really upset.
00:42:35Her name's
00:42:37Anne Winter.
00:42:39♪
00:42:49♪
00:42:55♪
00:42:57Anne?
00:42:59What?
00:43:01Yes.
00:43:03Pardy?
00:43:05What the hell's going on?
00:43:07Do you know what I've been through?
00:43:09I went to the police station.
00:43:11They kept me there for hours.
00:43:13I questioned them.
00:43:15I came back home and look at this.
00:43:17I don't know what they want.
00:43:19My files, my books.
00:43:21I don't want anything. I don't even know what they want.
00:43:23What is going on?
00:43:25Shut up.
00:43:27I said shut up. Who do you think did this?
00:43:29Why do you think they did it? Why do you think I just got blasted at?
00:43:31Because they want the tapes.
00:43:33Well, I don't have them.
00:43:35Well, if you don't have them, who's got them?
00:43:41Take it easy and take a breath.
00:43:47Oh.
00:43:53Henebury's tapes involve John Singer, don't they?
00:43:55Henebury's tapes involve everyone.
00:43:57Yeah, but if I wasn't looking for Singer,
00:43:59Henebury wouldn't be dead, would he? Or Leon?
00:44:01Turn left, right here.
00:44:17Who do I have to fuck to get one of these?
00:44:19My father.
00:44:29Would you like a drink?
00:44:31You bet.
00:44:43Do you think we were followed?
00:44:45I bloody hope not.
00:45:11Do you like this room?
00:45:13Can't afford to like it. I'm too poor.
00:45:17My mother wouldn't like it either.
00:45:21I was brought up with her in Switzerland.
00:45:25I suppose you think I'm a phony,
00:45:27slumming here to Bondi with this place to come back to.
00:45:29Couldn't care less.
00:45:31Liar.
00:45:39Is it true you were in the army?
00:45:41Who told you that? Henebury.
00:45:43What else did he say?
00:45:45That you're divorced.
00:45:47Not his fucking business.
00:45:49He said that too? What?
00:45:51That you're still upset about it.
00:45:57What did you do in the army?
00:45:59I did what I was told.
00:46:01But now you don't.
00:46:05Would you like another?
00:46:07No, thanks.
00:46:11Thanks.
00:46:25Aren't you curious about me?
00:46:29No.
00:46:31Why not?
00:46:35I know about you.
00:46:37Oh?
00:46:39What am I?
00:46:41Ambitious.
00:47:01Anne!
00:47:03Come and join us.
00:47:07Hello, darling.
00:47:09How are you, darling?
00:47:13Who's your friend?
00:47:15Cliff Hardy.
00:47:17My father, Bill Winter.
00:47:19Champagne?
00:47:21Yes, please.
00:47:23Well, it does seem to be our drink, Bill.
00:47:25Well, we've earned it, haven't we?
00:47:29I like your swimming, Bill.
00:47:31Oh, yeah.
00:47:33Oh, sorry.
00:47:35Mr. Hardy.
00:47:37Fred Ward.
00:47:39Just call me Bob.
00:47:41I know of Mr. Ward.
00:47:43He was an associate of John Singer's.
00:47:45John Singer?
00:47:49How long did you know John Singer?
00:47:51I didn't.
00:47:53I'm investigating his suicide.
00:47:55Investigating?
00:47:57I'm a private inquiry agent.
00:47:59Good heavens.
00:48:01Exciting life, I'll bet.
00:48:03Just a moment.
00:48:05Mrs. Singer thinks he might be still alive.
00:48:07Sir Marion thinks he's still...
00:48:11Poor Marion.
00:48:13Grief must take her badly.
00:48:15You know John Singer?
00:48:17I knew of him, of course.
00:48:19But you forget people.
00:48:21If I met him, it was years ago.
00:48:23What about a bloke named McCleary?
00:48:25McCleary?
00:48:27Singer knew him.
00:48:29Had a company with him, just like you did.
00:48:31Had a wide range of companies, you know.
00:48:33Came to us with his bigger projects.
00:48:35Smart answer.
00:48:37What you people are good at, isn't it?
00:48:39Staying cool and giving smart answers.
00:48:47How did you two meet?
00:48:49Through Bruce Henebury.
00:48:51Henebury?
00:48:53What a strange, sad business that was.
00:48:55I guess the truth about John Singer
00:48:57will be in Henebury's tapes, won't it?
00:48:59I, uh...
00:49:01I admired Henebury, as a matter of fact.
00:49:03Oh, I didn't always...
00:49:05Here's your water, taxi.
00:49:07Will you please excuse us?
00:49:09Thanks for the drink.
00:49:11Thank you, Cliff. Interesting.
00:49:13Most interesting.
00:49:15Thank you, Mr. Hardening.
00:49:17You didn't tell me your father's a bill winner.
00:49:19You never asked.
00:49:21Who's McCleary?
00:49:23Crim.
00:49:25You know, I can't decide whether I like you or not.
00:49:27Of course you like me.
00:49:29I grow on people.
00:49:45What have you got to tell me?
00:49:47What'd this cost?
00:49:49$3.55.
00:49:51So why aren't you staying at home?
00:49:53I'm afraid.
00:49:55What of?
00:49:59Listen, I gotta talk to the police, Mrs. Singer.
00:50:01I have to live with them.
00:50:03I've got till 10 o'clock tonight
00:50:05to tell them who I'm working for.
00:50:07Do I tell them?
00:50:09Do you want me to keep on with this case?
00:50:11You want to.
00:50:13I don't want to stop, no.
00:50:17So why's McCleary trying to kill me?
00:50:19What?
00:50:21McCleary tried to kill me.
00:50:23Tell me about Fred Ward.
00:50:25He's a businessman.
00:50:27What about him?
00:50:29Someone's protecting a secret.
00:50:31What is it?
00:50:33John could still be alive.
00:50:35He could have been murdered.
00:50:37By who?
00:50:39I guess I'd better find out.
00:50:45God rest his soul.
00:50:53The last
00:50:55dim battle in the West.
00:51:03Clovelly.
00:51:07Excuse me.
00:51:15Good mate of yours, was he, Leon?
00:51:17I happen to know,
00:51:19and this is in the strictest confidence.
00:51:23That...
00:51:27That Leon's concern
00:51:29in the last days of his life
00:51:37was a house
00:51:39in Monk Lane, Clovelly.
00:51:53What are you doing?
00:52:19Take that.
00:52:24All right.
00:52:26Stick around.
00:52:28But keep out of sight, all right?
00:52:30Be careful.
00:52:39Hello?
00:52:41Yes.
00:52:43Hi, from the DMR.
00:52:45Oh, yeah.
00:52:47You know we're doing a building inspection around here?
00:52:49Yeah, we're putting in roadworks, you know that?
00:52:51So I've got to check and make sure that your supports here
00:52:53are strong enough to take all the belting around
00:52:55that's going to be happening.
00:52:57You've got damp there.
00:52:59Obviously you've got a damp cause problem all the way through here.
00:53:01What's all this here?
00:53:03That's the cellar.
00:53:05The cellar? I'll have to have a look in there.
00:53:07Oh, no you don't. Go away.
00:53:09I said I'll have to have a look in there.
00:53:11Get in there.
00:53:21Jesus.
00:53:23Hardy!
00:53:25What's that? Come here.
00:53:29Get over there.
00:53:31Come on.
00:53:44I kill you, you bastard!
00:53:46Hardy, what is this?
00:54:16Come on.
00:54:43Come on.
00:54:46Come on.
00:55:16Come on.
00:55:46Come on.
00:56:17Come on.
00:56:25Shut up!
00:56:39Shut up!
00:56:42You bastard!
00:56:44I'll get you!
00:56:46Shut up or I'll blow your bloody head off!
00:57:14I feel sick.
00:57:16No, you don't.
00:57:20What is this, Hardy?
00:57:22What does it mean?
00:57:24They call it a nursing home.
00:57:26What they do is lock people up
00:57:28and rip off their pension cheques.
00:57:30It must be worth thousands a week.
00:57:32The big question is
00:57:34what happens when people die.
00:57:36What happens when people die?
00:57:38What happens when people die?
00:57:40What happens when people die?
00:57:42The big question is
00:57:44what happens when people die.
00:58:12Pretty.
00:58:42They put the bodies in here
00:58:44and they boil them down with lime.
00:58:46That's how they get rid of them.
00:58:48I don't believe it.
00:58:50You'd better believe it.
00:58:54We've got to get the police.
00:58:56Okay, here, take this.
00:58:58Take it.
00:59:00And ring Parker.
00:59:02Don't do it.
00:59:04It's not good for your health.
00:59:06Let's get it done.
00:59:08You're trying to be brave and look after me,
00:59:10don't you see?
00:59:12It's not worth it.
00:59:14It's not worth it.
00:59:16It's not worth it.
00:59:18It's not worth it!
00:59:20It's nothing to me.
00:59:22It's nothing to you.
00:59:24Oh, yeah?
00:59:26I don't believe you.
00:59:28Oh, yeah, what the hell are you talking about?
00:59:30You ok? I'm sorry, he took the gun.
00:59:38You killed Leon? Leon talked.
00:59:39What about John Singer? Who the hell's John Singer?
01:00:00Run!
01:00:22Gannigan! Gannigan, the bloody Gannigan!
01:00:30They want me to go to them.
01:00:59They want me to go to the hospital.
01:01:02You go.
01:01:03Look after yourself.
01:01:04Are you all right?
01:01:05Don't I look all right?
01:01:06Thanks.
01:01:07You know, this could take us seven years on the paperwork alone.
01:01:13Do you reckon we'll find John Singer's barns?
01:01:29No.
01:01:30You're not going to throw in the towel on me, are you?
01:01:36You're not asking me to do something for you, are you?
01:01:39You've got no fucking finesse, Hardy, that's your trouble.
01:01:55Hmm.
01:02:03John Singer.
01:02:04Marvellous, are they for sale?
01:02:07They were when Hanovery has them.
01:02:08McCleary, eh?
01:02:11McCleary may pretend to be as respectable as a dead virgin, but his money still comes
01:02:15from drugs, girls and gambling.
01:02:18So did Singer's.
01:02:19The winner?
01:02:20Hmm.
01:02:21The big boys.
01:02:36Some of those faces are too important to have names attached to them, especially in
01:02:41this town.
01:02:42Get it?
01:02:43Tell you what I get.
01:02:47I get that you've been warned off, and to ease your conscience, you want me to do your
01:02:52dirty work.
01:02:53Warned off?
01:02:54I don't know what he's talking about, either, sir.
01:02:57Come on, Frank, you're not telling me that you didn't find Hanovery's tape.
01:03:00I'm not telling you.
01:03:01I'm not telling you anything.
01:03:02Forget all that shit, Cliff.
01:03:03Think about McCleary.
01:03:07Think about him.
01:03:08You think McCleary killed Singer?
01:03:13No time to think.
01:03:15Too much paperwork.
01:03:16You're lucky you don't have to write reports.
01:03:20I know.
01:03:21I think about it each time I try to meet the mortgage.
01:03:22I can't meet the mortgage, either.
01:03:24You smoke.
01:03:25I don't.
01:03:26Come on, Hardy.
01:03:27Are you going to stir the possum with us or not?
01:03:31You know, I get 120 a day, plus expenses.
01:04:02Ah!
01:04:03Bastard!

01:08:52You know what to do.
01:08:54Get him out of the house and wait until I'm back in town.
01:09:09Come on. Move!
01:09:21♪♪
01:09:31Whoa!
01:09:33Aah!

01:10:28You look terrible.
01:10:30You should see the other bloke.
01:10:33How are you?
01:10:35I've only got tomato juice. Is that all right?
01:10:37That's okay.
01:10:41What do you know about your father?
01:10:47I love my father.
01:10:48And what do you know about Ward?
01:10:50Love him too?
01:10:51I don't really know him.
01:10:54What is this?
01:10:55Ward tried to kill me.
01:10:58He what?
01:10:59He wants Annabree's tapes.
01:11:01So do I.
01:11:02Have you told Parker?
01:11:04No, I'm telling you first.
01:11:06Your father's involved with these men.
01:11:08Leave my father out of this.
01:11:10He can't be left out.
01:11:11Oh, yes, I think he can.
01:11:13How many of us have to be killed before you'll hand over the tapes?
01:11:16You're so naive.
01:11:18Do you think the tapes will change anything?
01:11:20Yes, I do.
01:11:22You gonna help me or not?
01:11:34I know what you feel about me.
01:11:39We could have a lot of fun together.
01:11:43What, here?
01:11:44In Disneyland? I hope not.
01:11:50You're not fine, though, are you?
01:11:53Aren't I?
01:11:54No.
01:11:59Can I get you a taxi?
01:12:00No, thanks. I'll walk.
01:12:02On water?
01:12:03Been done before.
01:12:21Jesus Christ!
01:12:22Lousy security you got here, Frank.
01:12:24Come on, let's go and get them.
01:12:25What happened to you?
01:12:26Ward.
01:12:28With this?
01:12:30Bloody hell.
01:12:31Come on, wind up McCleary.
01:12:32Put three men on me.
01:12:34We're understaffed.
01:12:35I'm the bait. I just need you to look after me.
01:12:40All right.
01:12:42Walk this way.
01:12:43Now, this is the only one of these jiggers the department's got,
01:12:46so don't lose it.
01:12:47School teacher before you were a cop, were you, Frank?
01:12:49Decided to stir the possum with us, have you?
01:12:51Bloody oath.
01:12:55That's pretty simple.
01:12:56Who you working for?
01:12:58Gives off a hum in the patrol car.
01:13:00Flick this switch, she screams.
01:13:02Good for half a mile.
01:13:04You'll need to think of some way to conceal it.
01:13:09If you stick it up your arse,
01:13:10you won't be able to work the switch.
01:13:14Listen.
01:13:16Listen!
01:13:17It's that Harvey.
01:13:18He wants me to meet him again.
01:13:21Yes.
01:13:24Yeah.
01:13:25Yes.
01:13:28Yeah.
01:13:30Yeah.
01:13:42Here you go.
01:13:48Speak to me while you do it.
01:13:49What would you guys know?
01:13:55What would you guys know?
01:14:25Where you been, boys?
01:14:44I'll ask you again, Hardy.
01:14:46If Marion thinks Singer's alive, who told her?
01:14:49And I'll tell you again, don't worry about Marion, worry about Ward.
01:14:52Ward's a danger, mate, he always has been.
01:14:55Suppose you were charged with Hennebery's murder.
01:14:57With you out of the way and the politicians in his pocket,
01:15:00Ward's sweet.
01:15:01I reckon we don't listen to him.
01:15:03He's putting you on, Mac.
01:15:04Am I? Fat lot, you'd fucking know.
01:15:07So why'd you kill Hennebery?
01:15:08Because Hennebery knew about you and Singer and could use it against you.
01:15:12Ward's been a nightmare to me for ten years.
01:15:15Yeah, well he reckons you did the deal and Singer's alive, that's what he reckons.
01:15:18Mac, I didn't know about Hennebery.
01:15:20You can't read.
01:15:22Who does?
01:15:24What's that?
01:15:27Gee, gee, gee. Golden Mandarin.
01:15:30I should have seen it on a telly.
01:15:32About Beach Boys.
01:15:35It's Ward business.
01:15:37Gotta be settled.
01:15:41Once and for all.
01:15:53There he is.
01:16:24Giddup.
01:16:26We walk very slowly.
01:16:49You're enough, McCleary.
01:16:51Don't you trust me?
01:16:52No.
01:16:53Why not?
01:16:54Why kill Hennebery if you don't have something to hide?
01:16:57Here's your man, Fred.
01:17:00Give him in good faith.
01:17:01Do what you like with him.
01:17:05Don't shoot first, you know.
01:17:06Shut up.
01:17:07Walk.
01:17:09Walk.
01:17:23Walk.
01:17:28Keep walking.
01:17:38They've crossed us, get back.
01:17:48Check the car, it's a setup.
01:17:49Coppers, you bastard, how many?
01:17:51Police, hold your fire.
01:17:53You are surrounded.
01:17:54Throw down your weapon.
01:17:56Ward, hit Ward.
01:17:59Swap that man.
01:18:09Jesus.
01:18:10Cool it down.
01:18:11Give me a second.
01:18:14McCleary, throw down your weapon.
01:18:17Get out of there, honey.
01:18:18Get out of there.
01:18:19Look out.
01:18:21Look out.
01:18:26How old are you, son?
01:18:27Sixteen.
01:18:31Right, wrap it up, boys.
01:18:44Go easy, will you?
01:18:45Who's your solicitor, Parker?
01:18:48So how did we go?
01:18:49Oh, not bad.
01:18:50Fred Ward, respectable property developer,
01:18:55was murdered in a hold-up staged by a well-known criminal identity,
01:18:58Thomas McCleary.
01:19:00Bruce Henevery's death was an unrelated accident.
01:19:03Stan Ingram, you surprised me.
01:19:05No trouble following me?
01:19:07Clear as a bell.
01:19:08You must have stuck it up your arse.
01:19:10I did help me get it out.
01:19:11Think of it as a gift.
01:19:12I was surprised, you know.
01:19:14First time we used it, we lost a couple of blokes.
01:19:50I'm sorry.
01:20:20Woo-hoo!
01:20:51Two months, 22 days, and 10 hours.
01:21:05Someone you know?
01:21:12Not really.
01:21:15I'm sorry.
01:21:17Not really.
01:21:20Bill Winter.
01:21:22I've known him for ages.
01:21:23He's a tremendous survivor, isn't he?
01:21:25Is he? I suppose he is, yeah.
01:21:26They say even those tapes can't damage him.
01:21:30Oh, before I forget.
01:21:37Here.
01:21:41I added a bit.
01:21:44I know why.
01:21:45Oh.
01:21:47For the note.
01:21:48Note?
01:21:49The note that said your husband was alive.
01:21:52Do you intend to be boring?
01:21:54Yes.
01:21:55Oh, dear.
01:21:57You knew that Ward sent McCleary to kill your husband.
01:22:01And you wanted revenge.
01:22:04But you're a patient girl, Marion.
01:22:06So you waited until the time was right.
01:22:10And wrote yourself a note.
01:22:12Then you hired me to stir the shit.
01:22:15Ward went against McCleary.
01:22:18And you got what you wanted.
01:22:19The lot, the girls, the gambling.
01:22:21And for all I know, you'll get the government deals as well.
01:22:24For all you know, I might.
01:22:27Well, here's to Henebury, Leon, and God knows who else.
01:22:32I've been sent these photographs.
01:22:34John is alive.
01:22:36He's in Bangkok.
01:22:38There's a girl, of course.
01:22:39Well, look at the photographs.
01:22:42Oh, don't stare like that.
01:22:47I must know.
01:22:50I want you to find him.
01:22:51Damn him.
01:22:54I'll pay you 50,000.
01:22:56I'll pay you anything you like.
01:23:00Hmm.
01:23:05What is this?
01:23:07Twenty pounds.
01:23:18Enjoy your lunch.
