Jack Irish: Black Tide Page #4

just about set to go ...

Cam!

I got it at 20s!

Ready to run! And they're racing!

Burnbank Boy leads with about 100m

to go, from Clancy's Angel.

Sir Rocco running on,

Vision Divine cannot get a run.

Johnny Chernov's

got to get a pocket.

But as they go down the line, it's

Burnbank Boy racing away,

and he won by two lengths

from Sir Rocco,

Clancy's Angel half a run third

and just behind those a little way

was Vision Divine.

Give Johnny Chernov a call.

I think it's time we had

our own stewards' inquiry.

So... the man who finds

the scum of the earth,

man who breaks

his parents' hearts.

Horses and criminals.

That's his life.

Ah, too late to break

his parents' hearts.

And, sometimes, the criminals

are on the horses.

God, even the back.

Only removalists

are ever going to see that.

You see plywood on back

of a Stradivarius violin?

Did you miss me, Charlie?

What I miss?

I miss someone finish

the little jobs I gave him.

The little tables.

Day's work

for a man who actually works.

Fancy a quiet one at the pub?

No, my grand-daughter

cook me dinner.

Big game tomorrow.

They think old buggers,

no chance.

What do those pishers know

about bowls?

How old are these youngsters,

Charlie, more or less?

60, 65, around that.

Bloody pishers!

They should have

their own junior league.

God, it's hard to know

if it's the bowls colliding

or their hips cracking.

I find it hard to know

why Carol left you, Barry.

Jam it up your arse.

So this favour.

Your bloke, Gary Connors,

travelling through raghead country.

Ugh.

Purchases in Dubai, and another one

on the stopover in Bangkok.

Went three months ago,

1st of Feb.

And nothing since?

(Burps)

Was that a no?

He's dead or in hiding,

is my guess.

Right. Is that everything?

No. You're in luck.

Tax Department did an audit.

Shitload of travel claims.

Middle East mostly.

So what's the story with you

and the cast of Cocoon?

Show them pishers, Charlie.

Toothless beat ruthless!

Klostermann Gardier?

Aviation SF, Airbound Services...

This mean anything to you?

Sh*t, I can't be arsed

doing me own job.

I'm not going to do yours.

Where'd you get that bun, anyway?

The clubhouse.

You realise that is their morning

tea, don't you?

Police presence at a...

..major sporting event

comes at a price, Jack.

So Gary Connors works

for the Levesque Group companies.

All shells, with two exceptions -

Cayman Islands, Cook Islands,

Andorra.

Registered in one place,

owners in another.

Companies owned by companies

who are owned by companies

who are owned by companies. Russian

dolls.

Exceptions, Klostermann Gardier,

private bank in Luxemburg,

and Airbound Services
