La Traviata
He loved furniture.
He would often discuss the grain of a fine wood in great detail.
Okay, sorry to interrupt, how certain are we that this is a strong lead and we're not just completely wasting our time? - Gavin from Intelligence - There's an oxymoron.
Gavin from Intelligence is a dickhead and he's right about 35% of the time.
- True.
- But go on.
- Let's look on the bright side.
- Okay.
He assures me that Elizabeth Doolan Betty.
that the last-known ping from her phone Tinder account.
has been triangulated to this location.
- And you want to get your end away.
- No, no.
I wanna solve a case.
Yeah, you wanna solve a case in your pants.
- This Mm.
- Just so we're clear.
What we're doing here is a waste of my time but maybe not yours 'cause what's going on here is more dick work than detective work.
Not more dick work than detective work.
No? How much dick work to detective work, do you think? I 50/50.
- 50 dick, 50 detective? - No I'd say 90 dick, 10 detective.
- I'd say 60 detective, 30 40 dick.
- I'd say 72 dick, 28 detective.
- All right.
Can I continue on? - Yeah, fine.
- He loved furniture.
- Sorry, what am I listening to? This is this is the eulogy for Rainer.
This is a eulogy for Rainer? Yeah, I'm gonna speak at his funeral.
- Why? - Well, because I - You spent one shift with the guy.
- Yeah.
I was the last person to be with him.
Has anyone actually asked you to speak? Well No, not exactly.
But I'm not gonna bother the family at the moment.
They're going through extreme grief.
You know, I'm just gonna give this as an offering on the day and see how we go.
- Okay.
- Can I Do you mind if I - Yeah, yeah, yeah, please.
- Right.
Thank you.
Let's hear it.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Detective Stokes.
Rainer was the the best partner a cop could ever have.
- Oh, fuck off.
- What? - That looks good for me, doesn't it? - Well What are you getting so worked up You said he's the best partner you've ever had.
I've been your partner for over 10 years.
As soon as you say that, anyone who knows us is gonna go, "Oh, oh, Hendy must be a shithead.
" - He's dead.
- He's the dead winner.
Yeah, you can't compete with the dead.
You don't have to speak highly of the dead.
You make the living look like a fuck stick.
He died on the job, literally in my arms.
You've made me look like a dickhead.
You've put us in the same stable and gone, "You're the good one, you're the shit one," I'm the shit one.
These qualities that you're, like, demonstrating now, all right, these are qualities that Rainer never had.
Oh, no, he was the best partner you could ever have.
He was the best partner a cop could have.
Can I just speak at his fucking funeral or what? That mandolin is, uh it's out of tune just a little.
Hmm.
What? Beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful thing.
Oh, well Nah, it was good.
It was fine.
You didn't sound real sincere, mate.
Look, yeah - I mean, don't say it if - Nah.
If you don't mean it, it's best not to say it, you know.
That's what I think anyway.
Look, I've just, uh gotta be honest.
I'm not a massive fan of the banjo.
No, neither am I, mate.
That's a mandolin.
Oh.
Well, I'm not a massive fan of the mandolin.
Nah, didn't realise it was such a let-down.
You know, here I was just trying to Look, it's good.
Every man has his passion.
And you It's, you know You're a fiddler.
You're a minstrel.
It's your passion.
It's your craft.
It's, you know, what floats your boat.
- Yeah.
- Good on ya.
Look, I'm all for it.
I'm all for a man pursuing his passions.
It's all right, mate.
Don't worry.
I won't do it no more.
I didn't realise that it'd be upsetting or It doesn't upset me.
Don't get me wrong.
I just don't, you know It just kind of falls on deaf ears.
For me, you're strumming away on that thing and I'm thinking who's gonna be fullback for the next Origin match.
Or I'm trying to remember how many different types of apples there are.
- I don't - It's a pretty boring job.
Thought I might break up the monotony but, you know, don't wanna don't wanna upset your fucking count-the-apple cart, mate.
Nah, nah, nah.
Look.
- You know what your problem is? - What's that? You've got this artistic kind of skin but you're kind of afraid to admit it.
You think everyone's wankers and hoity-toity and, you know, you're wandering around, a minstrel, with your musical instruments.
You appreciate your art on your walls.
You know, I Look, to me, they're just pictures.
To me, that's just noise.
I don't get it.
No, they're just pictures to me on a fucking wall, mate.
I'm just trying to make a bob, mate.
That's all.
It's fine.
Whatever floats your boat.
I don't mind.
- You should do what you want.
- I do what you want.
But I'm not into that shit, so I mean, I just Don't worry.
I won't fucking play anymore.
You play as much as you like, mate.
I just I can't force myself to hear it.
- I don't want you to.
- I can't hear it.
- You won't hear it.
- I can't hear it.
- You won't hear it.
You won't.
- Well, I can't.
You remember our first date? - At the opera? - Mmm.
And remember that guy who tried to take my handbag in the car park? - Yes.
- And you beat him up.
I chased him, beat him up.
I wanted to take him to the hospital and you just wanted to leave him in the street.
Yeah, I think I beat him up until he was unconscious in the end.
What if I told you that I set up that whole thing and that the scary robber was actually my old school chum Gregory Villers.
What if I told you that I knew that? You did not know that.
You didn't! How When? How long have you known that? Well, you weren't really punching him, darling.
You were just sort of swinging and making those noises, like, "Ksssh! Kssh! Kssh!" It was clearly pretty obvious nothing was happening.
Why didn't you say something at the time? I've always been attracted to dishonest men.
I thought it was quite endearing.
Wow.
I was so sure I had fooled you.
I thought I thought I really had had you quite impressed by that.
I was.
In my own way.
It was quite a magical magical night, wasn't it? "La Traviata".
- "La Traviata"? - Mmm.
That was the opera we saw that night.
"La Traviata".
No.
No, no, no.
It wasn't.
No, it was It was Verdi, but it was "Rigoletto", not "La Traviata".
No, no, no.
It was I'm absolutely positive it was "La Traviata".
You can be positive, darling, but you're also wrong.
It was it was "Rigoletto".
It was absolutely 100% "La Traviata".
No, no.
1,000% it was "Rigoletto".
We had a conversation about going to Paris because of the party scene.
- Darling, that was years later.
- We did.
- It wasn't! It was that night.
- I think I would know I think I would know.
You know what? - I think I would know.
- Which opera we saw.
I'm getting people to fake robbing people Oh, darling.
My memory is way better than yours.
Shut up! Mate, do you have to yell? Okay.
Just go down and tell 'em quietly.
City clear.
Reports to focus west.

Oh, well done.
Good on you, little buddy.
All right, mate.

- Yeah.
Came off it.
- Yep.

You know, and they said it was probably nothing.
But, like, I knew.
Kind of low-level low-level brain damage.
And, yeah, like, it just changes you.
It's like it puts you on a different plane, you know.
Now I can just see it in other people.
Like, I just recognise it straight away.
Sorry, Lachy hasn't got brain damage.
I'm sorry you fell off your bike, but that's never happened to Lachy.
- So - Sorry.
Sorry.
I just thought something must have happened.
There was one thing.
There was a malfunction with the remote control for the garage door.
It came down on Lachy's head.
And then I was trying to, like, get it off, but it kept malfunctioning so every time I pressed the button, it's just Oh, and when he was eight, he tried to do, like, an inward somersault and hit the back of his head on the diving board.
Mmm.
But that was a long time ago, that stuff.
That's And last Easter, we went camping and he flipped the fry pan.
He had the pancakes, but he let go of the whole thing and the pan the fry pan came - Down on his head.

You don't know how much I love doing this.
I love that you don't know how much I love doing this.
You have no idea how much I love this.

Really? I will never know how much you love this? Well, you will never know how much I love you.
And I love that you will never know it because I will never, ever show it.
Oh, you'll never show it? Darling, I have so much love for you, you've got no idea.
Darling, you have only just seen the tip of the iceberg of the love I have for you.
I have got so much love buried so deep inside.
And you will never see it.
You will never see it, and it would make you so happy.
That's the funny part about all this.
It would make you so happy, and you're never gonna see it.
If you knew the enormity of the love I have for you, you would beg me to show it.
But you won't, and even if you did, it wouldn't matter because I would never show you.
Not in a million years.
I'd rather you died not knowing how much I love you.
That is how much I love not showing you how much I actually love you.

Not more dick work than detective work.
No? How much dick work to detective work, do you think? I 50/50.

- Oh, fuck off.
- What? - That looks good for me, doesn't it? - Well What are you getting so worked up You said he's the best partner you've ever had.
I've been your partner for over 10 years.
As soon as you say that, anyone who knows us is gonna go, "Oh, oh, Hendy must be a shithead.
" - He's dead.
- He's the dead winner.
Yeah, you can't compete with the dead.
You don't have to speak highly of the dead.
You make the living look like a fuck stick.
He died on the job, literally in my arms.
You've made me look like a dickhead.
You've put us in the same stable and gone, "You're the good one, you're the shit one," I'm the shit one.
These qualities that you're, like, demonstrating now, all right, these are qualities that Rainer never had.
Oh, no, he was the best partner you could ever have.
He was the best partner a cop could have.
Can I just speak at his fucking funeral or what? That mandolin is, uh it's out of tune just a little.
Hmm.
What? Beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful thing.
Oh, well Nah, it was good.
It was fine.
You didn't sound real sincere, mate.
Look, yeah - I mean, don't say it if - Nah.
If you don't mean it, it's best not to say it, you know.
That's what I think anyway.
Look, I've just, uh gotta be honest.
I'm not a massive fan of the banjo.
No, neither am I, mate.
That's a mandolin.
Oh.
Well, I'm not a massive fan of the mandolin.
Nah, didn't realise it was such a let-down.
You know, here I was just trying to Look, it's good.
Every man has his passion.
And you It's, you know You're a fiddler.
You're a minstrel.
It's your passion.
It's your craft.
It's, you know, what floats your boat.
- Yeah.
- Good on ya.
Look, I'm all for it.
I'm all for a man pursuing his passions.
It's all right, mate.
Don't worry.
I won't do it no more.
I didn't realise that it'd be upsetting or It doesn't upset me.
Don't get me wrong.
I just don't, you know It just kind of falls on deaf ears.
For me, you're strumming away on that thing and I'm thinking who's gonna be fullback for the next Origin match.
Or I'm trying to remember how many different types of apples there are.
- I don't - It's a pretty boring job.
Thought I might break up the monotony but, you know, don't wanna don't wanna upset your fucking count-the-apple cart, mate.
Nah, nah, nah.
Look.
- You know what your problem is? - What's that? You've got this artistic kind of skin but you're kind of afraid to admit it.
You think everyone's wankers and hoity-toity and, you know, you're wandering around, a minstrel, with your musical instruments.
You appreciate your art on your walls.
You know, I Look, to me, they're just pictures.
To me, that's just noise.
I don't get it.
No, they're just pictures to me on a fucking wall, mate.
I'm just trying to make a bob, mate.
That's all.
It's fine.
Whatever floats your boat.
I don't mind.
- You should do what you want.
- I do what you want.
But I'm not into that shit, so I mean, I just Don't worry.
I won't fucking play anymore.
You play as much as you like, mate.
I just I can't force myself to hear it.
- I don't want you to.
- I can't hear it.
- You won't hear it.
- I can't hear it.
- You won't hear it.
You won't.
- Well, I can't.
You remember our first date? - At the opera? - Mmm.
And remember that guy who tried to take my handbag in the car park? - Yes.
- And you beat him up.
I chased him, beat him up.
I wanted to take him to the hospital and you just wanted to leave him in the street.
Yeah, I think I beat him up until he was unconscious in the end.
What if I told you that I set up that whole thing and that the scary robber was actually my old school chum Gregory Villers.
What if I told you that I knew that? You did not know that.
You didn't! How When? How long have you known that? Well, you weren't really punching him, darling.
You were just sort of swinging and making those noises, like, "Ksssh! Kssh! Kssh!" It was clearly pretty obvious nothing was happening.
Why didn't you say something at the time? I've always been attracted to dishonest men.
I thought it was quite endearing.
Wow.
I was so sure I had fooled you.
I thought I thought I really had had you quite impressed by that.
I was.
In my own way.
It was quite a magical magical night, wasn't it? "La Traviata".
- "La Traviata"? - Mmm.
That was the opera we saw that night.
"La Traviata".
No.
No, no, no.
It wasn't.
No, it was It was Verdi, but it was "Rigoletto", not "La Traviata".
No, no, no.
It was I'm absolutely positive it was "La Traviata".
You can be positive, darling, but you're also wrong.
It was it was "Rigoletto".
It was absolutely 100% "La Traviata".
No, no.
1,000% it was "Rigoletto".
We had a conversation about going to Paris because of the party scene.
- Darling, that was years later.
- We did.
- It wasn't! It was that night.
- I think I would know I think I would know.
You know what? - I think I would know.
- Which opera we saw.
I'm getting people to fake robbing people Oh, darling.
My memory is way better than yours.
Shut up! Mate, do you have to yell? Okay.
Just go down and tell 'em quietly.
City clear.
Reports to focus west.
Over.
Oh, well done.
Good on you, little buddy.
All right, mate.
Goodnight.
I actually really get Lachy.
- Do you? - Yeah.
Yeah, he's a great kid.
Yeah.
Good kids, you know, mess around.

- That's Lachy.
- Yeah.
I used to ride my bike heaps as a kid.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Came off it.
- Yep.
- It was two or three days, I was out.
You know, and they said it was probably nothing.
But, like, I knew.
Kind of low-level low-level brain damage.
And, yeah, like, it just changes you.
It's like it puts you on a different plane, you know.
Now I can just see it in other people.
Like, I just recognise it straight away.
Sorry, Lachy hasn't got brain damage.
I'm sorry you fell off your bike, but that's never happened to Lachy.
- So - Sorry.
Sorry.
I just thought something must have happened.
There was one thing.
There was a malfunction with the remote control for the garage door.
It came down on Lachy's head.
And then I was trying to, like, get it off, but it kept malfunctioning so every time I pressed the button, it's just Oh, and when he was eight, he tried to do, like, an inward somersault and hit the back of his head on the diving board.
Mmm.
But that was a long time ago, that stuff.
That's And last Easter, we went camping and he flipped the fry pan.
He had the pancakes, but he let go of the whole thing and the pan the fry pan came - Down on his head.
- On his head.

Darling, you have only just seen the tip of the iceberg of the love I have for you.
I have got so much love buried so deep inside.
And you will never see it.
You will never see it, and it would make you so happy.
That's the funny part about all this.
It would make you so happy, and you're never gonna see it.
If you knew the enormity of the love I have for you, you would beg me to show it.
But you won't, and even if you did, it wouldn't matter because I would never show you.
Not in a million years.
I'd rather you died not knowing how much I love you.
That is how much I love not showing you how much I actually love you.
