00:00NZ Spy.
00:02At the office, Michael's awkwardly standing by Isabelle's desk at the reception.
00:06They're both about to speak and talk over each other.
00:11So I was just... Oh, you go.
00:13Sorry.
00:15I didn't really have anything to say.
00:18He fiddles with his blazer.
00:21Hey, Michael.
00:22Yep.
00:23I have something to say.
00:26Send him through.
00:28I should...
00:29You should go in.
00:32With his hands behind his back, Michael goes into the boss's office,
00:35a secret room behind a bookshelf.
00:38I just pulled this book.
00:42No way.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Wow.
00:45What are you going to put in there?
00:47I'm thinking a...
00:48a chair.
00:50Oh, yeah, a chair would be good.
00:52Yeah.
00:52Or maybe like...
00:56No, yeah, I reckon a chair.
00:58Yeah.
01:00Yeah, chair.
01:01Can we start the meeting?
01:03Anderson is missing.
01:05Anderson...
01:06is missing.
01:09Where is he?
01:10We don't know.
01:11He's missing.
01:12That's what missing is.
01:13Oh my gosh, scary.
01:14It is scary.
01:15Also, the documents we intercepted on the train...
01:18have vanished.
01:19Why would Australia want a list of every farm in New Zealand?
01:22We don't know.
01:24Michael, I'm sending you to the Abel Tasman National Park.
01:27You think Anderson's there?
01:28I don't know, but someone is shipping a heck of a lot of herbicide there,
01:31and I want to know why.
01:32I'm in.
01:33Good stuff.
01:34You leave in two hours.
01:35Go and see Pellet.
01:37Now?
01:38Yes, now!
01:41Sue.
01:42What am I doing?
01:44Your mission is equally as important.
01:47I need you to go to Wellington
01:48and apologise
01:50to Jim Marshall for tranquilising him.
01:52You're joking.
01:53I'm not joking.
01:54I tranquilised him.
01:56I made him tranquil.
01:58He's a member of parliament,
01:59and technically he hadn't committed treason yet,
02:01and he's demanding an in-person apology.
02:05I quit.
02:06Well, well, well...
02:07I'm handing him my gun,
02:08and I'm handing him my badge.
02:09I quit.
02:10We don't even issue badges.
02:12I made my own, boss.
02:14I made my own.
02:18I think badges are more of a police thing.
02:22Wristwatches are one thing,
02:23but this is a whole different kettle of fish.
02:27I already have two wristwatches.
02:29Trust me.
02:30It's completely water-resistant, up to 50 metres.
02:33Whoa.
02:33And totally smash-proof.
02:39It smashes quite easily, the glass spinning on the table.
02:44I've been scammed.
02:46Where did you get it?
02:47Caleb.
02:48What?
02:49It's my sister's boyfriend, Caleb.
02:51What about these?
02:53You gave me jeans last time.
02:55Jeans are good!
02:55I agree, jeans are good,
02:57but do you do anything that's not jeans or wristwatches?
03:00A snorkel.
03:01Oh!
03:03I'll give you this.
03:04So, if used properly,
03:06it will allow you to breathe underwater.
03:07I know.
03:08I've snorkeled.
03:09Caleb hasn't gone anywhere near this.
03:11Let's just...
03:12Can you let me know if you can feel this?
03:16Yeah, I felt it.
03:17Let me put your mouth to her.
03:20Oof.
03:21Sorry.
03:22I don't know why we'd do that.
03:24Yeah.
03:27Over the specular blue waters surrounding a lush verdant coastline,
03:31the text, Abel Tasman National Park.
03:33Michael scuba diving in shallow water when Misty appears,
03:37flanked by two leather jacket-clad gunmen.
03:41Stop, Michael.
03:43Come here or they'll shoot you.
03:46Michael plods onto the shore,
03:48his swim fins flopping in the wet sand.
03:53Kneel.
03:55He's wearing the snorkel.
03:58You had a snorkel?
04:00Take out your mouthpiece.
04:02You've been a bad guy this whole time?
04:04I'm Australian.
04:05If that's what you consider a bad guy, then yes.
04:09You're Australian?
04:11Yeah.
04:11I have a thick Australian accent.
04:13Well, what about me?
04:14What do you mean?
04:15Well, did you actually even like me?
04:17No, you're annoying.
04:18You don't mean that.
04:19I do.
04:20I would never have a crush on someone like you.
04:23But we kissed on the lips.
04:25Yeah.
04:26And I hated it.
04:27You're awkward as hell.
04:28Well, you're weird.
04:30No, she's not.
04:31You don't know her.
04:33Yeah, I do.
04:33Shut up.
04:34No, you shut up.
04:35You shut up.
04:36Oh.
04:37Oh.
04:38Misty smacks him.
04:39Later, he's escorted into a secret bunker.
04:46Michael's still in his wetsuit.
04:48Now inside, he follows Misty through a dimly lit corridor with dark walls until they reach a holding cell.
04:54She shoves him inside and he stumbles as she locks the door.
05:03Enjoy your stay.
05:06He sits on one of the beds and gazes at the floor when a blanketed figure on the other bed
05:11speaks.
05:14Welcome to paradise.
05:17Anderson?
05:19He's mustachioed and stone-faced.
05:23Ta-da!
05:25Wait, is it actually paradise here?
05:27No.
05:28Oh, man.
05:31Michael's face crumbles.
05:33Are you crying?
05:35He nods.
05:36Why are you crying?
05:37Because we're in this prison.
05:39He shakes his head.
05:41Why are you crying then?
05:43Misty.
05:45Yeah.
05:46She's bad.
05:50Oh.
05:53You were romantically involved.
05:57Do you love her?
05:59Why are you crying then?
06:02Because I'm a bad spy.
06:04I wish I could say that's not true.
06:06But it is true.
06:09You're a really bad spy.
06:11You're terrible in tight situations.
06:13You have a shocking memory.
06:15You get hospitalized every other day and you got completely duped by Misty.
06:20But.
06:21But, Michael.
06:23But, uh...
06:26But, but...
06:35Anderson thinks.
06:38Oh.
06:41Uh...
06:42But, uh...
06:44You...
06:45But.
06:47He thinks, concentrating in various parts of the cell as time passes.
06:53Oh.
06:54Didn't you were the one...
06:55No.
06:55Oh, you weren't there then.
06:57But.
06:58But.
06:59But.
06:59But!
07:01Come on!
07:02It's okay.
07:03I feel better now.
07:05Oh.
07:07Perfect.
07:07You're welcome.
07:09It's just what I do.
07:11Later.
07:12Charades.
07:14Goodbye.
07:15Shorter.
07:16Bye.
07:16Uh...
07:17Bye.
07:18Second syllable.
07:20Bull.
07:21Bull.
07:23Combine.
07:26Goodbye, Bull.
07:27Good Bull.
07:29Sorry, I've not read many books.
07:31The Bible.
07:32How long have you been standing there?
07:33Five seconds.
07:35You're not welcome here.
07:37You're not in any position to tell me where I'm welcome.
07:40Michael?
07:41Mr. Green has requested your company at dinner tonight.
07:44He's not talking to you.
07:45That's fine.
07:45He doesn't need to say anything.
07:47He just needs to be ready at seven.
07:49He'll see how he's feeling.
07:50It's compulsory.
07:51Well, he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do.
07:55If he refuses, we'll kill him.
07:56He'll be there.
07:57He's looking forward to it.
08:00Yeah, you can have to go.
08:02Sorry, I...
08:03I didn't expect her to say...
08:04Kidding.
08:06Yeah, you can have to go.
08:07Sorry, I...
08:08I didn't expect her to say...
08:10Kidding.
08:11Yeah, you can have to go.
08:12A plate of asparagus and potatoes.
08:15How long have you been a vegetarian?
08:18Michael scowls.
08:20Are you mad about Misty?
08:24You thought she liked you.
08:27That's sweet.
08:28Why is this table so long?
08:30That's what you want to know.
08:31You want to enter into my evil plan?
08:33What's your evil plan?
08:34Now, that's a good question.
08:36Do you know who New Zealand and Australia's biggest export partner is?
08:41Yep.
08:42Who is it?
08:43I'm not saying.
08:44Okay, well, I don't think you know.
08:46I do.
08:47It's England.
08:48I know.
08:48Well, I don't think you did.
08:50But in one month, England are joining the EEC,
08:53the European Economic Community.
08:56Community.
08:57This is bad news for us.
08:58We're both scrambling to try and find new trade partners.
09:01New Zealand was very close to striking a deal with India.
09:05That is, until you, uh, killed their foreign minister.
09:08Sora!
09:12That wasn't us.
09:13I know.
09:14It was us.
09:16They didn't yet think it was you.
09:18They backed out of the deal.
09:20You're now in talks with Japan and America.
09:23Beef.
09:24Wine.
09:25Wool.
09:26And how's Australia getting on?
09:27We can't get a look in.
09:29So we're doing something about it.
09:31It's 1600 hours tomorrow.
09:33What's that normal time?
09:34You don't know 24 hour time.
09:36I just like normal time.
09:38It's easy.
09:39You just go up to 12 and keep going.
09:41So, for instance, 1600 hours.
09:42I'm not interested in knowing.
09:44I like normal time.
09:46It's good.
09:47Okay.
09:47Well, tomorrow, it's 1600 hours.
09:51Exodus.
09:52You're leaving.
09:53No.
09:53We're not leaving.
09:55It's the code name of the operation.
09:56It's a reference to the ten plagues of Egypt.
09:59That sounds scary.
09:59Yeah.
10:00But instead of ten plagues, you only need two.
10:02Please don't say river of blood.
10:04We're going to kill your crops.
10:05And we're going to kill your livestock.
10:07And in doing so, we're going to kill your piece of shit country.
10:12That is not a nice way to talk about my country.
10:15Tomorrow, at 1600 hours, we're shipping out 300 tons of herbicide and poison livestock food.
10:21It'll then be trucked to our airstrip, where it'll be loaded on 100 planes.
10:26On my signal, they'll go and drop it on every farm and vineyard in this.
10:31Do not say it again, piece of shit country.
10:33You are going to regret saying that.
10:35Oh?
10:35Really?
10:36And you're going to regret telling me that whole evil plan.
10:39Why?
10:40What are you going to do?
10:41I guess, escape and go and tell my boss.
10:46Mr. Green, sorry to interrupt, but we found this man kayaking on the south of the island.
10:52Is he one of yours?
10:53No.
10:54So you wouldn't care if I took his life right now?
10:57No, I definitely wouldn't want you to do that.
10:59But you said you don't know him.
11:00Yeah, I don't know him, but that doesn't mean I'd be fine with you killing him.
11:03He might be a bad person.
11:04But chances are he's not.
11:05I reckon chances are he is.
11:07I'm not.
11:08Don't talk to me.
11:10Don't you ever talk to me.
11:12Don't do this.
11:13I'm telling you, please don't do this.
11:15But he doesn't work with you.
11:16I have never seen this man before in my life.
11:18Does anyone know you're here?
11:21You can answer me.
11:23No one knows I'm here.
11:25I swear.
11:30Insane answer.
11:33Oh, you didn't like that?
11:37Do you want some tiramisu?
11:39That doesn't really feel appropriate.
11:41Because I killed that guy.
11:42Yeah, I reckon we should wait a little bit before we crack into some tiramisu.
11:46How long?
11:47An hour.
11:48At least an hour.
11:51An hour.
11:54Handmade?
11:55Handmade.
11:57Maybe half an hour.
11:59Later, more charades.
12:02Violin.
12:04Guitar.
12:04Guitar.
12:06The sound of music.
12:10So.
12:11So.
12:12Fellas.
12:13How could you see my act out?
12:15I didn't.
12:15But I just heard the sound of...
12:17What else could it have been?
12:18The sound of guitar.
12:20Yeah, but like that's not a movie.
12:22Might be.
12:24Misty's bad.
12:25That makes sense.
12:26She was weird.
12:27The guard tried telling me she wasn't weird.
12:31I've gone rogue.
12:32What?
12:33I quit the agency and I went rogue.
12:36Cool.
12:37We have to move fast.
12:39This is thermite.
12:40It burns through iron.
12:43Just don't let it drip on you.
12:46Whoa.
12:47One of the bars melts off and Anderson catches it.
12:53Wait, I have just realised something.
12:56The gap is tiny?
12:57The gap is quite tiny.
12:58Do you have any more thermite?
12:59Pallet, just give me this little frickin' thing.
13:02Yeah, I'm not gonna fit through that tiny hole.
13:05This is a problem.
13:06Wait.
13:07I have an idea.
13:09But you guys aren't gonna like it.
13:13I have to leave.
13:14An armed guard who sits in the corridor is drawn to a sound inside the cell.
13:18He unlocks the door to find the room empty, the broken iron bar on the floor.
13:22He looks up at the skylight and runs off, leaving the door open.
13:27Once he's gone, Michael and Anderson emerge from their hiding spaces under the bed.
13:37I'm glad we went with Sue's idea.
13:38Mine was bad.
13:40I don't know where we would have got dresses from.
13:41Little Unson and the green wigs.
13:45In the corridor, they freeze as guards pass nearby, but they go unnoticed.
13:51They enter a bathroom.
13:58Michael pulls out two orange boiler suits from a locker.
14:02As the pair begin to wear them, a man emerges from a toilet stall.
14:13Who are you guys?
14:16Us?
14:17Yeah.
14:19My name is Simon Somerset.
14:21I'm Michael Anderson.
14:23That's your...
14:24Well, it doesn't matter.
14:26You guys new?
14:27Yeah.
14:29Brand new.
14:30Why are you wearing a wetsuit?
14:32Huh?
14:33Why are you wearing a wetsuit?
14:36You...
14:36You can tell him the reason?
14:40Well, if you want to know, basically I have a condition with my sweat glands where I sweat
14:48profusely for 24 hours every single day.
14:52But the good news is that it is only my torso and my arms, but not my head or my
14:59hands that are affected by it.
15:01So the wetsuit absorbs the sweat?
15:02The wetsuit absorbs the sweat.
15:04Before the wetsuit...
15:07My clothes were getting drenched.
15:09I mean, that must have been incredibly tough.
15:11That was very tough.
15:12The kids at school, they used to go, oh, he's peed his pants.
15:15Oh, he's peed his shirt.
15:16He's peed his shirt?
15:17Yeah, like I peed up into my shirt.
15:19But how could they have thought you peed up the back of your shirt?
15:22That's exactly what I tried telling them, but...
15:24Doesn't even make sense.
15:25But yeah, the bullying continued.
15:27The bullying continued.
15:28Because children...
15:29The man aims his gun at them.
15:32How much do you get paid?
15:3535 cents an hour.
15:3735 cents?
15:38It's less than minimum wage.
15:39What's your point?
15:40My point is you are doing way too good of a job, my friend.
15:45You don't want to shoot us.
15:47Not for 35 cents an hour.
15:49For 35 cents an hour, you should be phoning this in.
15:52And I don't mean phoning your superiors to tell them that we're here.
15:55I mean the opposite.
15:56You should be asleep.
15:58Or smoking a cigarette.
16:00Not here.
16:01Doing an adept and, may I say, capable job.
16:06It's not a bad point.
16:07It's a good point.
16:08It's a good point.
16:11Got any cigarettes?
16:13Just get it, guys.
16:18Michael hands him a box of cigarettes.
16:20The man pockets them and leaves.
16:23Gentlemen, you have a good one.
16:25All right.
16:30I can't believe that worked.
16:33I can't believe that worked.
16:39I can't believe that worked.
16:52Wait a minute.
16:52He told you the whole evil plan?
16:53Yeah.
16:54When were you gonna tell me?
16:55We were busy.
16:55We were busy playing charades.
16:57We played charades all night long.
16:59What did he say?
17:00Um, okay.
17:01Think, Michael.
17:02Think.
17:03We're shipping out 300 tons of herbicide and poison livestock food.
17:06They're gonna ship 300 tons of herbicide and poison livestock feed.
17:11Where are they shipping it?
17:12They're shipping it to?
17:14To our airstrip, where it'll be loaded on 100 planes.
17:17An airstrip on the mainland, where they're putting it on 100 planes.
17:20Why?
17:22Because, on my signal, they'll go and drop it on every farm and vineyard in this piece
17:28of shit country.
17:29That's why they wanted a list of every farm in New Zealand.
17:31They're going after our cows and sheep.
17:32Exactly.
17:33Those animals are the backbone of this country.
17:35Yeah.
17:36And that's a crucial bone.
17:37The plan is called Exodus, which I thought was a pretty scary name.
17:41It's a really scary name.
17:42When's this plan happening?
17:44He said it's happening at...
17:461600 hours.
17:471600 hours!
17:49Oh!
17:50I thought this shit again!
17:51Yeah.
17:52Have you got a watch?
17:53I've got a couple.
17:55I don't know.
17:5616 minus 12.
17:59It's happening in...
18:03What's...
18:0420 minutes?
18:0520 minutes?
18:06Yeah.
18:0620 minutes, maybe.
18:07I don't know.
18:08I...
18:09I mean, I genuinely don't know.
18:11Oh!
18:13That's maybe what that's for.
18:14Oh.
18:15Yeah.
18:15Yeah.
18:16No, I would say definitely.
18:17So I guess we've got to stop the boat with the poison from leaving the island and reaching
18:21the plains, because otherwise they'll poison all our animals and crops.
18:24It's pretty confusing, but yeah.
18:26I have a dynamite idea.
18:27What is it?
18:29There's some dynamite over there.
18:31Oh, I see.
18:32I thought you were saying like you had a really good idea.
18:34Yeah, no.
18:34It could be a terrible idea.
18:36He opens the box.
18:39You go and find Dennis.
18:41I'll run all the way to the boat and blow it up before it leaves at 1600 hours.
18:45It's a good idea.
18:46It's a dynamite idea.
18:48Run fast.
18:50Anderson kisses his medal from the race.
18:53I always do.
18:57Now alone.
18:59Okay.
19:00What do I do?
19:01On my signal.
19:03They'll go and drop it.
19:04On every farm and vineyard in this piece of shit country.
19:08The signal.
19:09I gotta stop the signal.
19:12Michael runs off.
19:16In the dining room, Michael spots Mr. Green sitting with his back to the entrance.
19:21He tiptoes forwards his pistol at the ready.
19:24He holds it up to the back of Mr. Green's head, but it's actually the dead kayaker disguised as him
19:29for bait.
19:30The real Mr. Green appears behind Michael, his gun also at the ready.
19:34He.
19:35Freeze.
19:38You freeze.
19:40Barger.
19:41If you move, I'll kill you.
19:44Well, if you move, I'll kill this guy.
19:46That's the guy killed at dinner last night.
19:49The kayaker.
19:50Yeah.
19:52You undressed him and put him in a suit?
19:54Yes.
19:55And you posed him here at the table?
19:57Yep.
19:58And how long were you hiding over there in the shadows?
20:01Oh, 20 minutes.
20:03Well, that's not too bad.
20:04Yeah.
20:04It was fun.
20:05And do you have a real gun or are you making one with your fingers?
20:11It's real.
20:13Barger.
20:16At the airfield, a box of herbicide is tipped over, the white powder spilling onto the floor.
20:22A timer takes down from 17 minutes.
20:26Anderson's running through a dense forest.
20:28Dozens of aircrafts are on the runway.
20:35Sue is spying on Misty and another man, who are both clad in white.
20:40Meanwhile, in the dining room, Michael sits in a chair as Mr. Green stands before him,
20:46his gun aimed right at Michael.
20:52Cut to black.
