...and I can guarantee you it would be such a different story

if you had money to line they're f***ing fat greasy palms.

F***.

Hasn't been anything in the papers has there?

Oh I know it's alright.

I really think we have to say

something to Foreign Affairs.

If they know that there's drugs involved

they're going to drop the whole thing.

We tell them we don't want

anyone over there to know.

Look...

...I know we talked about this but...

It's got nothing to do with drugs.

You know that?

How do you know that?

Steph?

Maybe he couldn't get rid of them all.

He ended up taking more than we thought.

I'm really tired Alice.

Don't you think?

None of us knows who he

spoke to that night.

or that week even. I mean he seemed

to be friends with just about anybody.

I really think we owe it to him now to be honest about everything.

This has just gone on way too long.

Steph?

Can I come to your place?

Oh hun...

I'm running really late for work.

Oh can you drop me off?

Please.

I don't know she didn't want to see her flat mates

Sh*t!

Anyway, look...

I really need you to pick up the kids...

I'm really going to have to make up some time here.

It's okay, babe?

Wait how long did she say she wanted to stay for?

Uh I don't know as long as she wants.

Hi, June, hello.

You go in. I'll be in in one moment.

OK.

Anyway look I would really rather

she was going to be with us if it's

going to make it any easier for her.

Uh well why couldn't she stay at your Mum's?

Uh Dave, come on. Don't be like that

she's had a really rough time over there.

Just tell me are you going to be

able to pick the kids up or not?

Dave?

She was upset?

Eh? What?

I'm just asking how was she?

As you'd expect she's upset.

She's all over

the place.

But look I'm really going to have to go.

Um just can you can you give me a yes or a no?

Can you grab the kids otherwise...

Yeah I'll pick them up.

I'll pick them up.

Okay, cool!

Love you!

Bye.

I'm so sorry about that.

- Hello everybody!

- Hello

Work.

Point!

An Australian tourist missing for nine days

from a remote Cambodian holiday destination

remains unaccounted for despite an extensive search.

The Department of Foreign Affairs now holds grave concerns

for the welfare of 37 year old

Sydney business man Jeremy King.

Last seen by friends dancing at a party

in the small southeast coastal town of

Sihanoukville early on November the 17th.

An area undergoing a...

Why are you here?

...acting like nothings happened?

Why are you here?

Well I'm stuck over there having to answer

they're f***ing questions.

You weren't even returning my phone calls...

I understand but your idea was...
