Previously on "The Sounds"...

I still don't get why he would fake his own death.

How else was he going to spend the money he stole?

You sat here fucking pretending.

I know.

My father paid the baby's mum to take her back.

I'd expect you to be asking questions,

not telling my team to look the other way.

Ryan didn't kill Aroha, Zoe did.

And I covered it up.

I can't live with it any longer.

Think I killed him.

We all make mistakes, Maggie.

How do you live with it?

All you can do is try to make amends.

Where are all the people?

These are all the people.

Against my better judgement, I have something for you.

What?

The company that bought Davy's hut.

- Mother Goose. - Yeah.

That's what Tom used to call Maggie.

You lost your halo

the second you decided to steal $160 million, okay,

- so you can... - You're right.

...Stop with all of that high and mighty.

No, you're right, I did.

It was a mistake.

This whole thing was a mistake.

I don't know how you've done this for 15 years.

I can't take another minute.

Thank you.

Nau mai.

Make amends, that's what you said.

That's what I'm going to do.

Damage stops here.

The grieving widow, eh?

Something's going on there.

Nah, not him and her.

Zoe and the husband.

- Tom? - Mm-hmm.

- Oh, shit. - Yeah.

You know there was this one time at the pub.

Yeah, and I seen them sneaking down by the containers as well.

Tom and the cop's daughter?

Oh, hello. You enjoying yourself?

They were together at the pub and you're telling me now?

Well, I'm not telling you. You overheard.

And nobody knew?

Nah, not the wife. Wives never know.

There's something up with her too.

I mean, like, healthy people wouldn't send stuff

to a medical lab, would they?

She paid 95 bucks to do it real urgent.

Where exactly did she send it?

Mum, why was Ru singing with Pania?

It's complicated.

Yes, hello, this is Maggie Cabbott.

I'm waiting for some test results.

No, I love holding.

How are you holding up?

Yeah.

That bay that Senior Constable McGregor

found Ryan's body, who goes up there?

Ah, just wasters growing weed.

Seen Jack up there trying to flush them out.

He was up there a couple times this week actually.

Not having much luck catching them.

You want a lift home, mate?

Yeah.

Take care.

Can't you just tell me if they're a match?

Look, I can make it worth your while.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about

a suspicious death out in the Sounds would you?

I'm here because of

a suspicious death out in the Sounds.

Not Tom. Ryan.

I'm only interested in Tom.

Tom hasn't got the wherewithal.

Which is exactly why

I don't think he did it on his own.

This is nonsense, Esther!

What proof do you have?

You always knew Maggie was the clever one, right?

She has the morals of a saint.

But Tom obviously didn't.

Dad, Tom did not steal our money and fake his own death.

He wouldn't do that.

He couldn't!

No.

But she could.

What is this, Maggie?

You cannot be serious.

What about Tom?

His legacy?

The fishery should belong to the locals.

You're the ones who worked so hard to make it happen.

I could barely afford my 10% stake as it is.

- You know this, Maggie. - I'm not selling you my share,

Stuart, I'm giving it to you.

To everyone, really.

It's a town with a population of 492 people.

Let everyone have a piece.

Oh, oh, I didn't realize, um...

Sorry, I won't keep him much longer.

Well, we need to go.

Sure, love.

Maggie, wh-what's changed?

It's what I want.

You accepting visitors?

I stopped getting visitors years ago.

How are you holding up?

Alright.

At least I know where he is now.

He's back beneath the shadow of his mountains.

You know, it's funny,

but I actually feel close to him now.

It's like, you know, a poison

when something like this happens.

It gets in.

There's nothing you can do about it,

but I guess you don't have to feed it.

Pania...

You know, I should have stopped fighting.

Because all it really did was gave all the people around here

just another excuse to hate me.

And Ryan.

You're his mother. He never would have hated you.

I drove him away.

What happened to him was not your fault.

Maybe not.

What happened to me was.

You can't let it eat you up, Maggie, Tom's death.

'Cause you'll just end up

another crazy town wahine like me.

Pania, there's something I have to tell you.

Everything okay?

I'm...

I'm going...

away.

To rehab.

I think what you're doing is really brave, Annette.

I really do.

But if you're thinking of sharing things

that shouldn't be shared...

I've kept your secret for all these years.

You can't ask any more of me.

There are consequences, Annette.

Not just for us.

Has it been worth it, Jack?

For Zoe? All these lies.

I have to go.

Senior Constable McGregor. Got a minute?

Yeah.

What can I do for you, Detective?

Just dotting the I's and crossing the T's

on the Cottle death.

How did you come to discover the body?

Look, I've been through all this.

Not with me you haven't.

Well, there was a tourist out that way,

heard a gunshot, and called it in.

But in your report, there's no name, no number.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

There's hunters all through those hills, you know that.

But you still got in your boat and went all the way out there.

Yeah, I did.

Alright, there was some pot growers I've been after,

thought it have something to do with them.

Yet there's no record of an official search.

What exactly are you accusing me of,

Detective Senior Sergeant Pilau?

I'm not accusing you of anything.

I'm just doing my job.

Um, I had a package delivered to my private box.

It isn't there, and the only other person with a...

key was...

Is who?

My husband. It was there last week when I checked.

It's not there any more.

Guess you should've picked it up then.

That's how it usually works.

Do you have security cameras?

We can't even get a cellphone tower.

I've sent the payment. Do you see it?

So, you'll send me the test results now?

Frank.

I should've called you sooner.

I realize that now.

But obviously, my son...

My son.

If...

If I find out you've messed with my family,

I will spend the rest of my life hunting you down

and making you pay.

Nothing you can imagine will match

how far I'm prepared to go.

Do you understand?

Jack, please call me back.

It's urgent.

Thank you.

Wouldn't want you getting scurvy.

Thinking of sailing away?

Uh, I am, actually.

Mind if I ask where?

Wellington, Bay of Islands, and then...

who knows?

Off to meet up with Tom and collect your $160 million?

I don't know how you did it, but I'll find out.

Soon.

Well, good luck with that.

I don't need luck because you're going to tell me everything.

Or I'm going to tell Frank about that baby.

So you know about Zoe.

Yes, thanks for the heads up on that.

And you also know that Tom was drinking and doing drugs.

Well, it turns out I didn't know my husband as well as I thought.

Too busy setting up his bottom-of-the-world

money-laundering business?

I can only assume you mean the fishery

which I just gave to Stuart.

Lock, stock, and barrel.

I keep telling you, Esther,

I don't want anything to do with the Cabbotts ever again.

If you tell Frank about the baby, he'll take her.

So, I'm begging you, please don't do that.

Why do you hate him so much?

You have access to his finances.

Go back four years to October 23rd,

find a payment to a woman named Ann-Marie O'Ryan.

Then come and find me and we'll talk.

Can I get this delivered to my boat?

- Sure. - Thanks.

Mind turning that off while we talk?

Have a seat.

Hey!

Hi, um...

do you mind if I just have a moment with Bella?

Yeah, of course.

I just came to say goodbye.

What you're... You're leaving us?

No.

You were right... Time for me to get on the road.

Don't tell me I put that idea in your head!

I really loved having you here.

I mean... Oh, you know what I mean.

Can I shout you a drink before you go?

No, thanks.

Will you tell Jack when you see him

that I was trying to get a hold of him?

'Course.

And you're coming back though, right?

Bye, Hannah.

Bye.

Tom?

You watch too many horror movies.

I should be the one who should be scared.

You left me for dead.

Appears he'd taken a recent blow to the face.

Seems odd for a suicide.

There's no residue on the hands.

That's strange.

You found Ryan's body at 09:55 hours.

You know I did.

And here in the forensics report,

the time of death is somewhere between 20 to 24 hours earlier.

Where were you at that time, Senior Constable McGregor?

You're barking up the wrong tree, Pilau.

Because I have a witness that say

that they saw you out on the water

heading in that direction exactly the same time.

I was visiting him, taking him supplies.

Trust me, I'm the last person on Earth

who wanted to hurt Ryan Cottle.

We should get away from here. Someone might see you.

Yeah. Yeah, that would be bad.

You took the passports.

And you know where the money is.

Why did Monty tell only me?

That was a mistake as it turns out.

You two came up with the plan.

I came up with the plan.

He already knew about the cancer.

But it all worked out, so...

I knew you'd never go along with it

unless you had something that gave you the edge.

It's about trust, Maggie.

I had it in you. You never had it in me.

It's a name and an address in Rarotonga.

Under "Environmental Services" in my contacts.

Tom, you need a doctor.

We could find one up north.

Yeah, we could.

I thought was going to have a fight on my hands.

No...

I really thought I'd killed you.

So that's what it took to win you back.

Cast us off.

I didn't kill him!

Alright, I told you, I was meeting with him.

I've been doing that ever since he went bush.

Yet when I repeatedly asked you what you were doing there...

One of my best mates thinks that Ryan killed his daughter.

What do you expect me to do?

I expected you to tell the truth.

- You're a policeman. - Use your head, Pilau!

Why would I go back there the next day and then call it in?

Why?

Guilt?

We're getting more forensics done on the gun.

I'll be in touch.

You should go back down. Someone might see you.

You seem pretty friendly with Jack these days.

He's a cop. Wasn't keeping him close the idea?

And the call from my father.

It's good that we're going.

You know Esther was on to us.

The baby.

All of it.

We don't need to worry about Esther.

No, she put it all together.

Even the fishery.

Cut the engine.

Cut the engine.

Come on.

Of all the people in the world...

She saw me.

Kath!

Did you see Maggie leave?

No. What's going on?

Come with me.

Quick!

Tom...

She could ruin everything.

We're so close.

Tom, you're hurting her.

All that money.

Baby, the money doesn't matter.

Okay?

Don't tell me you're having another change of heart?

You don't have to hurt anyone else.

Don't you think it's a bit late for that?

You're going to get it, Maggie.

Everything you ever wanted.

Go!

Go! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Stay with me, Esther!

Maggie!

Maggie...

I can't swim. I can't swim.

You need to trust me.

Maggie!

Maggie!

I got you.

- I got you. - I can't swim!

I know! I know, I know.

Esther, I need you to kick.

I can't!

Really? You choose her over me?

You're doing great.

Just kick.

Keep going.

Come on, Esther, we've got to make it to shore

before it gets dark.

That's it, just keep kicking.

I got you.

We'll only last an hour. Has it been an hour?

No. Just kick.

Just kick and kick.

Just keep kicking.

We're not going to make it.

Shh. Shh!

- I can't. - Esther, listen!

Listen. Listen. Shh.

Is that?

- Hey! - Help!

Over here!

- Help! - Over here!

- Help! - Over here!

- What are you doing?! - Stop!

Don't take it off, don't take it off!

It's a flare!

Turn around!

- Hey! - Help!

Help!

Help! Over here!

"Maggie," I repeat,

vessel name reads "Maggie."

Can you confirm?

It's affirmative.

Any sign of persons on board?

Negative.

What about the tender?

Again, negative.

He'll be long gone by now.

Look, only we know it was Tom.

And Esther.

The Cabbotts won't want the police.

You say Esther went overboard,

and you went in to save her.

I'm so sorry that I brought this on you, Jack.

I brought this on myself.

I might not get out of this one.

Maybe I shouldn't.

You've done what you could here, Maggie.

You can still disappear.

Hey, how are you feeling?

Oh. Yeah.

You know.

Is she going to be alright?

She's already offending doctors, nurses, and hapless bystanders

so, yeah, she's going to be fine.

I'm going to grab a bite.

You want anything?

Kath says you're going to be alright.

I'm glad.

There was no payment.

To Ann-Marie O'Ryan.

Who is she?

The mother of the baby we had to give back.

And you thought Frank paid her off.

It's what Tom told me, but...

She just changed her mind.

That must hurt.

Everything hurts.

You should probably leave the country.

Frank will come after you.

You're a good person, Esther.

Thank you.

He's just in there.

- Julia Manaia. - Yes, Mr. O'Connell.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

How can I help?

Are we, uh... Are we going to do it here?

Do what?

Your... Your funds were released this morning.

What?

No, uh, that... That can't be right.

Your wife thought this might happen.

My wife?

She said that you'd been unwell.

Kia orana!

Did you get the money?

Yep, I'm ready and waiting.

Sorry, Pania.

I promised no more damage.

You're not coming.

I can't right now.

But this was all your idea!

Bloody money. I should burn it.

You could also do a lot of good.

In Ryan's name.

You should stick with the plan.

You know they'll be come for us, ae?

No matter where we are.

They'll come for me and Bella, but I'm ready, so...

Let them.
