All of us guys get plenty of yes-noes.
Stally doesn't know a real no from a yes-no.
Here.

Just wait.
Will you? You know, you're taking a moment to see your partner's Do you see she's upset? Look, I got your messages.
So what is it? I can't stop worrying that something's wrong and the baby's dead.
[SHE SOBS.]

Pixie, we've got to stop this bullshit.
Look at her.

Yeah, no, thanks.
Wake up, you have a baby.
You need to take care of yourself.
Don't give me that shit.
You don't care about me.
You actually enjoy any opportunity to humiliate me.
What's your excuse? For this? For kicking and screaming at the IVF clinic.
One minute you're yelling for an ultrasound, the next you're smoking and killing your baby's brain cells.
I'm going to make sure you take care of your baby.
I will haunt you.
Oh, you do.
You do.
See, I'm not your partner, I'm your whipping boy.
And I have to be hopeless so you can be clever and you can be capable and you can What's your point? You've no idea? Tell me.
I want to hear.
Go ahead.
It's so, so sad.
Because you are broken-hearted and you don't even realise.
Everybody knows.
Liam knows.
Adrian knows.
I know.
Your daughter knows.
She's reaching out to you.
She's trying to heal you.
- Can't you just hold her? - You have no idea about my life.
I've seen it myself.
You're afraid to touch her.
I take care.
I am careful with people.
And I don't? Like you should be.
Why are you fucking around with Liam? - We're friends.
We love each other, OK? - He's fragile That's it.
It's a foreign language to you.
- You're careless.
- Yeah, I'm the one that cares.
No, I can translate you're fucking dangerous.
You have no idea how lucky you are.
I've been pregnant Not just once with Mary.
Four times.
Three miscarriages.
So don't you dare say that I don't care.

[ROBIN SNIFFLES.]
I'm not having my baby.
[ENGINE RUMBLES OUTSIDE.]

Hey, mate, what are you doing? Hey, what's that thing? Are you making a documentary about me? The Fuck Wizard Strikes Back? - Whoo! Whoo! - Yeah, something like that.
All right, so first it was stand up back stairs, then I went through all the positions.
You know, I got her onto the bed.
We did some Viennese oyster, just some nice airy-fairy stuff, and then I fucking shocked her, turned around, demonic looking straight in her eyes, man.
- The Fuck Wizard's here.
- How do you remember them all? Like, I You know, if I Like, I get so involved in the moment, I wouldn't know, like, which one to do next.
You always get too involved, because you're emotional.
You've got to keep it keep it very logical and very scientific, right? If you If you get stuck, get her to go through a little dry run.
Get her to go through them.
She knows all the positions.
Stick deep, rodeo - Mate, it really loosens them up.
- OK.
Hey, you got a bit of a glow about you.
Have you had a touch of the GFE? What? Have you been seeing Cinnamon? - I did.
What's she up to? - Really? Oh, she's back? At Silk 41? She must love your little rest-up sessions when she gets to rest up from sucking all that cock, just rest the old jaw.
[WHISPERING.]
: That's really lovely.
That's really hot.
I hope you're not putting me on YouTube, Brett.
- I'll smash you.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- No, this is going to go on the news.
- Really? - Hey.
- Hi.
Hey.
- Another coffee? Anything? - You're putting us on the news? - That'd be good for me, thanks.
- Nothing? - Yeah.
- Coffee, caffeine I've looked through her patient list and there's a lot of them.
No, it actually shocked me, too.
I had no idea.
Well, I honestly believe Pixie's intention was to help, but we're in a bit of a situation now.
I've got to walk my dog.
Here's Pixie.
It's the detective.
I'm so sorry.
I was only trying to help.
Just to help the people have their babies I wasn't paid.
I just passed on a number.
That's all I did.
And people thanked me Everyone thanked me.
You've got to get them all together.
Tell them to come to your place.
Come to my apartment.
I'll invite some couples and I can tell you all what I know.
OK.
That'd be good.
All right, so you'll text me the address? Bye.
OK, Pixie wants to have us over.
She wants to tell us what she knows.
You'll come? Of course.
Thank you.
To my one good egg.
My A-grade blastocyst.
To your little Rosa.
She's a little girl.
To Rosa! Oh, did you think? What? That we should stop drinking? No.
Did you think Cinnamon? Yes, I did think.
When I saw the foetus pulled out at the morgue I was scared it was Rosa.
But it was somebody's baby boy.
It's not mine, but it's somebody's.
Did Adrian give your surrogate a panda? Actually, yes, erm Molly had morning sickness.
Why? Tell me.
I saw a panda at Silk 41.
No, she's a student.
You think she's a sex worker.
I think she's had a miscarriage.
That's why she's disappeared.
But the worst thing is, perhaps not.
Perhaps our baby will be born and we'll never find her.
We'll never see her.
We'll never care for her.
[MIRANDA SOBS.]
Hey.
- [MIRANDA STILL SOBBING.]
- We're going to find your baby.

I'm so angry with her.

That's it.
We're We're in a void.
Can we turn that music down? Cut it off? - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- All right, well, we've got about an hour before the DOI arrive, so it might be best to let the others know that there won't be a meeting.
[DOG WHIMPERS.]
Miri, she left you a letter.
Is she blaming me? No, no, no, she was being besieged by parents who've lost contact with their surrogates.
All these people? It's unbelievable.
Who's organizing this? Well, it's not Pixie.
Her contact was Dr.
Chatterjee and he's gone back to Bangalore.
I'm really scared.
Hey, our baby's safe, OK? She's in Mali.
She's safe, OK? She's safe.
All right? And she's a young person.
They don't keep contact.
All right? She's bad at it.
- [DOG BARKS.]
- Mate [MIRANDA SOBS.]
She'll call.
She'll want payment.
25K, that's a lot.
That's a lot of money.
There's a couple who are desperate to talk, and they know we're cops.
What about the dummy? Shall we leave it? [MIRANDA BREATHES HEAVILY.]
Are you OK? [DOG YAPS.]
What was her name? Pathma.
We We met her initially, and then we we saw her again when she had the first ultrasound.
And do you know how old she was? - I think that she said 20 - 20.
We arranged to meet with her because I think she was lonely.
Yeah, she was missing her family.
She was here on a student visa.
We wanted her to come and live with us.
And what did she say? Well, she said it was impossible, that she would get into trouble.
Trouble with who? Her English wasn't very good, you know? Actually, Paul and I think that Pathma [BECCY SIGHS.]
Can you say? Yeah, at this moment in time, Beccy and Paul are wondering if maybe their surrogate is your murdered girl.
We lost contact with her a month ago, and her phone is disconnected, and she wouldn't do that herself.
Have you got any photographs? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we have a lot of photos.
We have a picture, too.
[SHE EXHALES.]
This is her necklace.
God, I How did she die? According to the pathology report, it was strangulation.
If it's possible, we'd like to bury our child.
Of course, I understand, but if you admit to the surrogacy, - the police could prosecute.
- I don't care.
I want my child to be acknowledged.
I want to see my child.
I want my family to see my child.
We have been lying for over a year.
- I'm so sorry - Oh, I'm going to scream.
I'm just going to scream it out on the streets! I think we probably should go.
[WHISTLING.]
[PUSS WHISTLES.]
Are you waiting for me? I I've come to apologise for spoiling your beautiful face on the beach.
It's a problem I have had since childhood, compulsive urges, and Well, it doesn't excuse me, and I'm so sorry.
I want you to leave Mary alone.
Like you did for 18 years? Yeah, well, I understand it must be difficult for the mother, you know? The daughter fucking some old guy I mean, but even with the young guys, it's difficult, you know, to think about what might happen between them during the night-time, but, hey, that's that's life.
So, when are you going to start doing your job? Mary tells me that Cinnamon is dead.
Why don't you come to the shop, hmm? Is it because she's Thai? Is it because she's Asian, and then it doesn't matter? It matters.
OK.
I I've been troubled by something I saw maybe four weeks ago.
At the time it was nothing.
It was just a suitcase in the hallway, but, in the morning, it was gone.
Was it a pink one? [PUSS LAUGHS.]
No, it was a green one.
And I I wonder about that suitcase, you know? [HE EXHALES.]
You should do your job for the girl, for Pathma.
That was her Thai name, OK? [FOOTSTEPS MOVE AWAY.]
[KEYS JANGLE.]
So she just never turned up? That's right.
Yeah, I waited, but I thought she might be here.
No, no, not for a few days.
Well, that makes me feel a little better.
What's all this? What are you doing? Having a date? No.
- Come on, Pykey.
Yes, you are.
- No, I A friend's coming over.
Robin.
She She had Mary to stay, so it's payback.
When was that? Well, she stayed a couple of nights.
- A couple of nights? - Yeah.
[JULIA SIGHS.]
Hi there.
I'm just leaving.
I got stood up by Mary at the Sushi Train.
You haven't heard from her, have you? Sorry, no.
Pyke said that she stayed with you.
Thanks for that.
It's a little bit awkward right now, so all hands on deck, right? She's my daughter too.
You think that, do you? Yes.
Before she was born, while she was unconscious - Julia.
- What? Come on.
I'm grateful, of course I am, Pyke, but I'm the one who cared for her every single day, every single night since she was a baby, so Her? - Nine months.
- That's enough.
What, that's enough?! I am her mother.
Not "too".
Are you going to say anything? [SHE SIGHS.]
[HE CLEARS HIS THROAT.]
In 20 years, you were never unfaithful to Julia.
I had a passion.
I fell in love with a woman at work, but I fought it.
That's very contained of you.
No, I was a drama queen, actually.
I took time off work, saw a therapist, saw a psychic.
I told Julia.
So, what happened? The psychic told me that Maia was not my true love, but my awakening.
She said my soul lover was coming.
I suffered.
She suffered.
Finally, Maia couldn't bear it.
She decided to take a job overseas.
She wanted one thing before she left, though.
A kiss.
But it had to be for as long as she wanted.
And you agreed to that? Yeah.
So, how long was it? Two minutes? - Five minutes? - Not even close.
Longer than ten minutes? It was longer than an hour.
Maybe two.
It was pretty glorious.
What, you don't like kissing? [SHE LAUGHS.]
I've embarrassed you.
Oh, I've upset you.
No.
I like your story.
We've got a pile of photos.
Videos as well.
From when Mary was small.
This one's worth seeing.
I think she was about three.
I put it together for her 13th birthday.
You know, she grew up in this house.
You want to take a look at her room? - Can I? - Yeah.
Yeah, go on.
It's second on the left.
Pyke? - What is that? - A pregnancy test.
Negative.
I'm putting it back.
I shouldn't even be in here.
So she's not using protection? That's a risk.
Yeah.
That's very good, yes.
I think that's what we've got to have.
What's this? You hold.
- You film her like this? - No, no, no.
No lipstick.
It's supposed to be a poor village person.
No matter! Even poor people dress up for click.
No.
No, get out of this, please.
You wear poor village clothes.
I have a film to make here.
Please.
I need babies.
Where are the babies? I need to find the babies.
- Puss! Hey.
Sir.
- Yes.
What if we put some lights behind the fronds to back-light them? I paid 600 for these plants.
I want to see the front of them.
- They look like office plants, though.
- Yes.
No.
It's Thai village.
It's Thai jungle.
Get it, man.

Pixie, we've got to stop this bullshit.
Look at her.

Yeah, no, thanks.
Wake up, you have a baby.
You need to take care of yourself.
Don't give me that shit.
You don't care about me.
You actually enjoy any opportunity to humiliate me.
What's your excuse? For this? For kicking and screaming at the IVF clinic.
One minute you're yelling for an ultrasound, the next you're smoking and killing your baby's brain cells.
I'm going to make sure you take care of your baby.
I will haunt you.
Oh, you do.
You do.
See, I'm not your partner, I'm your whipping boy.
And I have to be hopeless so you can be clever and you can be capable and you can What's your point? You've no idea? Tell me.
I want to hear.
Go ahead.
It's so, so sad.
Because you are broken-hearted and you don't even realise.
Everybody knows.
Liam knows.
Adrian knows.
I know.
Your daughter knows.
She's reaching out to you.
She's trying to heal you.
- Can't you just hold her? - You have no idea about my life.
I've seen it myself.
You're afraid to touch her.
I take care.
I am careful with people.
And I don't? Like you should be.
Why are you fucking around with Liam? - We're friends.
We love each other, OK? - He's fragile That's it.
It's a foreign language to you.
- You're careless.
- Yeah, I'm the one that cares.
No, I can translate you're fucking dangerous.
You have no idea how lucky you are.
I've been pregnant Not just once with Mary.
Four times.
Three miscarriages.
So don't you dare say that I don't care.
- What? Is that too close? - Yeah! But what about this? Huh? - Yeah, is this better over here? - Yeah.
[ROBIN SNIFFLES.]
I'm not having my baby.
[ENGINE RUMBLES OUTSIDE.]

Hey, mate, what are you doing? Hey, what's that thing? Are you making a documentary about me? The Fuck Wizard Strikes Back? - Whoo! Whoo! - Yeah, something like that.
All right, so first it was stand up back stairs, then I went through all the positions.
You know, I got her onto the bed.
We did some Viennese oyster, just some nice airy-fairy stuff, and then I fucking shocked her, turned around, demonic looking straight in her eyes, man.
- The Fuck Wizard's here.
- How do you remember them all? Like, I You know, if I Like, I get so involved in the moment, I wouldn't know, like, which one to do next.
You always get too involved, because you're emotional.
You've got to keep it keep it very logical and very scientific, right? If you If you get stuck, get her to go through a little dry run.
Get her to go through them.
She knows all the positions.
Stick deep, rodeo - Mate, it really loosens them up.
- OK.
Hey, you got a bit of a glow about you.
Have you had a touch of the GFE? What? Have you been seeing Cinnamon? - I did.
What's she up to? - Really? Oh, she's back? At Silk 41? She must love your little rest-up sessions when she gets to rest up from sucking all that cock, just rest the old jaw.
[WHISPERING.]
: That's really lovely.
That's really hot.
I hope you're not putting me on YouTube, Brett.
- I'll smash you.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- No, this is going to go on the news.
- Really? - Hey.
- Hi.
Hey.
- Another coffee? Anything? - You're putting us on the news? - That'd be good for me, thanks.
- Nothing? - Yeah.
- Coffee, caffeine I've looked through her patient list and there's a lot of them.
No, it actually shocked me, too.
I had no idea.
Well, I honestly believe Pixie's intention was to help, but we're in a bit of a situation now.
I've got to walk my dog.
Here's Pixie.
It's the detective.
I'm so sorry.
I was only trying to help.
Just to help the people have their babies I wasn't paid.
I just passed on a number.
That's all I did.
And people thanked me Everyone thanked me.
You've got to get them all together.
Tell them to come to your place.
Come to my apartment.
I'll invite some couples and I can tell you all what I know.
OK.
That'd be good.
All right, so you'll text me the address? Bye.
OK, Pixie wants to have us over.
She wants to tell us what she knows.
You'll come? Of course.
Thank you.
To my one good egg.
My A-grade blastocyst.
To your little Rosa.
She's a little girl.
To Rosa! Oh, did you think? What? That we should stop drinking? No.
Did you think Cinnamon? Yes, I did think.
When I saw the foetus pulled out at the morgue I was scared it was Rosa.
But it was somebody's baby boy.
It's not mine, but it's somebody's.
Did Adrian give your surrogate a panda? Actually, yes, erm Molly had morning sickness.
Why? Tell me.
I saw a panda at Silk 41.
No, she's a student.
You think she's a sex worker.
I think she's had a miscarriage.
That's why she's disappeared.
But the worst thing is, perhaps not.
Perhaps our baby will be born and we'll never find her.
We'll never see her.
We'll never care for her.
[MIRANDA SOBS.]
Hey.
- [MIRANDA STILL SOBBING.]

It appears to be a suicide by drug overdose.
Female, early 40s to mid-40s.

We're We're in a void.
Can we turn that music down? Cut it off? - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- All right, well, we've got about an hour before the DOI arrive, so it might be best to let the others know that there won't be a meeting.
[DOG WHIMPERS.]
Miri, she left you a letter.
Is she blaming me? No, no, no, she was being besieged by parents who've lost contact with their surrogates.
All these people? It's unbelievable.
Who's organizing this? Well, it's not Pixie.
Her contact was Dr.
Chatterjee and he's gone back to Bangalore.
I'm really scared.
Hey, our baby's safe, OK? She's in Mali.
She's safe, OK? She's safe.
All right? And she's a young person.
They don't keep contact.
All right? She's bad at it.

She'll call.
She'll want payment.
25K, that's a lot.
That's a lot of money.
There's a couple who are desperate to talk, and they know we're cops.
What about the dummy? Shall we leave it? [MIRANDA BREATHES HEAVILY.]
Are you OK? [DOG YAPS.]
What was her name? Pathma.
We We met her initially, and then we we saw her again when she had the first ultrasound.
And do you know how old she was? - I think that she said 20 - 20.
We arranged to meet with her because I think she was lonely.
Yeah, she was missing her family.
She was here on a student visa.
We wanted her to come and live with us.
And what did she say? Well, she said it was impossible, that she would get into trouble.
Trouble with who? Her English wasn't very good, you know? Actually, Paul and I think that Pathma [BECCY SIGHS.]
Can you say? Yeah, at this moment in time, Beccy and Paul are wondering if maybe their surrogate is your murdered girl.
We lost contact with her a month ago, and her phone is disconnected, and she wouldn't do that herself.
Have you got any photographs? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we have a lot of photos.
We have a picture, too.
[SHE EXHALES.]
This is her necklace.
God, I How did she die? According to the pathology report, it was strangulation.
If it's possible, we'd like to bury our child.
Of course, I understand, but if you admit to the surrogacy, - the police could prosecute.
- I don't care.
I want my child to be acknowledged.
I want to see my child.
I want my family to see my child.
We have been lying for over a year.
- I'm so sorry - Oh, I'm going to scream.
I'm just going to scream it out on the streets! I think we probably should go.
[WHISTLING.]
[PUSS WHISTLES.]
Are you waiting for me? I I've come to apologise for spoiling your beautiful face on the beach.
It's a problem I have had since childhood, compulsive urges, and Well, it doesn't excuse me, and I'm so sorry.
I want you to leave Mary alone.
Like you did for 18 years? Yeah, well, I understand it must be difficult for the mother, you know? The daughter fucking some old guy I mean, but even with the young guys, it's difficult, you know, to think about what might happen between them during the night-time, but, hey, that's that's life.
So, when are you going to start doing your job? Mary tells me that Cinnamon is dead.
Why don't you come to the shop, hmm? Is it because she's Thai? Is it because she's Asian, and then it doesn't matter? It matters.
OK.
I I've been troubled by something I saw maybe four weeks ago.
At the time it was nothing.
It was just a suitcase in the hallway, but, in the morning, it was gone.
Was it a pink one? [PUSS LAUGHS.]
No, it was a green one.
And I I wonder about that suitcase, you know? [HE EXHALES.]
You should do your job for the girl, for Pathma.
That was her Thai name, OK? [FOOTSTEPS MOVE AWAY.]
[KEYS JANGLE.]
So she just never turned up? That's right.
Yeah, I waited, but I thought she might be here.
No, no, not for a few days.
Well, that makes me feel a little better.
What's all this? What are you doing? Having a date? No.
- Come on, Pykey.
Yes, you are.
- No, I A friend's coming over.
Robin.
She She had Mary to stay, so it's payback.
When was that? Well, she stayed a couple of nights.
- A couple of nights? - Yeah.
[JULIA SIGHS.]
Hi there.
I'm just leaving.
I got stood up by Mary at the Sushi Train.
You haven't heard from her, have you? Sorry, no.
Pyke said that she stayed with you.
Thanks for that.
It's a little bit awkward right now, so all hands on deck, right? She's my daughter too.
You think that, do you? Yes.
Before she was born, while she was unconscious - Julia.
- What? Come on.
I'm grateful, of course I am, Pyke, but I'm the one who cared for her every single day, every single night since she was a baby, so Her? - Nine months.
- That's enough.
What, that's enough?! I am her mother.
Not "too".
Are you going to say anything? [SHE SIGHS.]
[HE CLEARS HIS THROAT.]
In 20 years, you were never unfaithful to Julia.
I had a passion.
I fell in love with a woman at work, but I fought it.
That's very contained of you.
No, I was a drama queen, actually.
I took time off work, saw a therapist, saw a psychic.
I told Julia.
So, what happened? The psychic told me that Maia was not my true love, but my awakening.
She said my soul lover was coming.
I suffered.
She suffered.
Finally, Maia couldn't bear it.
She decided to take a job overseas.
She wanted one thing before she left, though.
A kiss.
But it had to be for as long as she wanted.
And you agreed to that? Yeah.
So, how long was it? Two minutes? - Five minutes? - Not even close.
Longer than ten minutes? It was longer than an hour.
Maybe two.
It was pretty glorious.
What, you don't like kissing? [SHE LAUGHS.]
I've embarrassed you.
Oh, I've upset you.
No.
I like your story.
We've got a pile of photos.
Videos as well.
From when Mary was small.
This one's worth seeing.
I think she was about three.
I put it together for her 13th birthday.
You know, she grew up in this house.
You want to take a look at her room? - Can I? - Yeah.
Yeah, go on.
It's second on the left.
Pyke? - What is that? - A pregnancy test.
Negative.
I'm putting it back.
I shouldn't even be in here.
So she's not using protection? That's a risk.
Yeah.
That's very good, yes.
I think that's what we've got to have.
What's this? You hold.
- You film her like this? - No, no, no.
No lipstick.
It's supposed to be a poor village person.
No matter! Even poor people dress up for click.
No.
No, get out of this, please.
You wear poor village clothes.
I have a film to make here.
Please.
I need babies.
Where are the babies? I need to find the babies.
- Puss! Hey.
Sir.
- Yes.
What if we put some lights behind the fronds to back-light them? I paid 600 for these plants.
I want to see the front of them.
- They look like office plants, though.
- Yes.
No.
It's Thai village.
It's Thai jungle.
Get it, man.
