Quotes 

• [last line of the show] 

  Brooks : [to Tina]  So you didn't tell her everything. Another day, perhaps.

• [Brooks, Thompson and several armed thugs surround Kim, Tina and Nicky] 

  Brooks : [to Tina]  Good to see the little one all grown up too.

  Kim Noakes : What's he talking about?

  Brooks : Boyfriend's is a bit of a dick though, right?

  Nicky : [smiles]  Oh, we're not actually a couple, so joke's on you. I mean there was a kiss but it got ruined because of this whole diary listing. Anyway, basically this whole thing happen with this book...

  Brooks : Do you want to shut the fuck up?

  Nicky : Ummm... sure.

  Brooks : [to Tina]  What's wrong with the kid?

  Tina Noakes : I know, right?

  Kim Noakes : Wait, do you two know each other?

  Brooks : [looks at Tina]  Me and your mom used to be partners. Didn't we, Jo?

  [Kim is puzzled, recalling Jimmy Davis' last words "tell Jo"] 

  Kim Noakes : Jo?

  Tina Noakes : Please don't.

  Brooks : [mockingly]  Rising star of the force. So good in fact that she found out that I was on Jimmy's payroll. Didn't you, you little monkey?

  [Kim looks shocked. Tina remains silent. Brooks turns away from Tina and starts walking toward Kim] 

  Brooks : So I did what any good partner would do and I cut her in and business was good. Trust me.

  Tina Noakes : It wasn't like that Kim. I did it for him. He was my partner. He would have gone to prison for years otherwise.

  Brooks : [turns back to face Tina]  You did it for the money just like the rest of us.

  Tina Noakes : No, he begged me, Kim.

  Kim Noakes : [looks hurt]  But you took the money?

  Brooks : [sharply]  Just, like the rest of us.

  Tina Noakes : Kim, listen to me. Things got out of control really really fast. I tried to get out. But then Jimmy came after me.

  Brooks : Yeah, he came after you, but you're not who he found, are you?

  [Tina does not respond] 

  Kim Noakes : [quietly]  He found dad?

  Tina Noakes : We're gonna leave that night, but I... I was one day too late.

  Kim Noakes : This whole thing is because of you?

  [Tina does not respond] 

  Kim Noakes : [choked with tears]  Dad died because of you?

  [long pause. No one moves or speaks] 

  Kim Noakes : Okay. Okay.

  [one of the thugs approaches Kim and points his gun to her head] 

  Henchman : Next time you move, this gun goes off.

  Kim Noakes : Good to know.

  [suddenly, Kim moves her cuffed hands above her head, grabs the gun, turns it backwards and shoots the henchman, killing him. A brawl breaks out] 

• [final scene of the show: Kim bids farewell to her mother and friends] 

  Kim Noakes : [her voice is heard over]  Dear Mum. I'm sorry for leaving... again. I know this is hard for you. I have to go. To get away from all the lies. And figure out who I really am. The world may be a scary place. It can also be beautiful. I'm not going to hide anymore. I am ready and I can look after myself. I know you thought you were keeping me safe. And I hope one day you can make this right between us. I do love you, Mum. I just don't know right now if I can forgive you. Bye Mum. Love, Kim.

  [Kim, a large backpack on her back, hugs Jay, Nicky and her mother. She hands a letter to Tina, then leaves. Tina looks longingly at her departing daughter] 

  Jay : [to Nicky, humorously]  I told you, you're shit with women.

  Nicky : Thanks.

  Jay : No problem, bro.

  Nicky : [humorously]  You know you're going to be a shit dad.

  [Nicky, Jay and Beth walk away, chuckling] 

  Nicky : [to Beth, humorously]  It's true. He's gonna leave the baby on a bus.

  [Brooks exits the house, his left hand is bandaged, carrying the money bag. He approaches Tina, who is still looking after Kim] 

  Brooks : So you didn't tell her everything?

  [a long pause. Tina does not respond] 

  Brooks : Another day, perhaps.

  [Brooks walks away with the money bag. Tina is still looking after Kim. Kim continue walking, then cheerfully starts running. The end]
