Written by Steve Moriarty
Directed by David Cameron

Reuben is in love with Orange, a free-spirited artist. It is the love affair of the century after four weeks and they are counting every moment together. Orange is preparing an anniversary surprise for Reuben in the corner of a deserted warehouse when she sees a friend arrive. Before she has a chance to speak to him another man arrives. Hidden from view, Orange witnesses the hand over of a large sum of money and the brutal murder of her friend. As soon as Elvis hears what has happened he knows who is involved — Detective Beckett, a corrupt cop. Before Elvis can get Orange's belongings from the warehouse, Beckett is at the scene investigating the murder. He knows there is a witness and is determined to find her. Orange decides to take the matter into her own hands and prints posters declaring Beckett is a murderer. She is now in grave danger and even Elvis is unable to save her life. Elvis now has two deaths to avenge and must ensure Beckett is stopped. He turns to two unlikely people to help him — corrupt cops.

Car Wars

Elvis and Carmen

Episode 2.02
April 7, 1998
Written by Chris Hawkshaw
Directed by David Cameron

Maginnis is in love — again. He's been seeing Carmen Francis, an intelligent, attractive, newly-qualified lawyer. They met when Carmen acted for a client with a claim against the dry cleaners. She's just perfect, and for Maginnis, this feels like it could quite possibly go on forever and ever and ever. True love though, never runs smoothly, and pretty soon, Maginnis finds himself in a sticky predicament. First, Maginnis is shocked to discover that Carmen is married — well, separated. Her husband is Noel Pomeroy, a used car dealer. Second, he's dead. Third, Carmen's at the scene. Fourth, Noel Pomeroy was killed with the wheel changer from Carmen's car. Fifth, Carmen begs him to alibi her. Maginnis looks into her eyes, loses all sense of logic — and agrees. Stella thinks he's an idiot, that he's being used, and tells him so. Plunging into the used car world in search of the killer, Maginnis discovers nearly everyone had reason to kill Noel Pomeroy. Finally, via some detective work from Reuben, Maginnis zeroes in on a former business partner of Noel Pomeroy's — Mickie McEvoy. Mickie is just as surprised as everyone when he discovers that in fact, it was his son, Michael who murdered Pomeroy. Mickie however, has an ace up his sleeve; he has documented evidence that he paid kickbacks to Carmen when she was employed by a finance company 6 years ago. Mickie delivers an ultimatum to Maginnis: if Maginnis puts Michael in for the murder, he will blow the lid on Carmen's past, sinking her legal career. Suddenly, Carmen Francis, the great love of Maginnis life is looking fatally flawed, but she convinces Carmen that it was only a tiny indiscretion — something she stupidly got involved in on her way to the top. Once again Maginnis looks into her baby blues and agrees to help her out. Reuben, disguised as an investigator from the Ombudsman's office, convinces Mickie that he (Mickie) has been sprung for paying kickbacks to finance company employees. Reuben puts it to Mickie that, in return for evidence against the finance company employees, Mickie's involvement could be overlooked. Mickie hands over the evidence against Carmen. Thus Maginnis clears Carmen and himself in the police's eyes — and, just as importantly, Carmen in Stella's eyes. Except Stella has been doing some investigating of her own. Carmen's claim against the dry cleaners — that which brought Carmen and Maginnis together — was fraudulent. This is something that Maginnis can't ignore. Finally he has to look into Carmen's eyes and say — "No" — and with that end the relationship he thought could have been the big one.

Episode 2.03
April 14, 1998
Written by Everett DeRoche
Directed by Paul Moloney

Closing time at the dry cleaners. Maginnis, keen to get away to a reunion (read drunken binge) with some old mates, foists the task of chasing up a dry-cleaning debt onto Stella. Alarm bells ring for Reuben, when, arriving for work the next morning, he discovers that the oh-so-reliable Stella has not turned up for work. In fact, given a wrong address, Stella has blundered into a major inner-suburban marijuana distribution centre — barely half a dozen blocks away from the dry cleaners — and has been imprisoned by Arch and Tina, a couple of socio-pathic and, we come to suspect, possibly psychopathic, drug dealers. Having trussed her up to an old Kooka stove until they decided how to make her more "comfortable", it soon becomes plainly obvious that chopping her up into little bits is clearly an option. The hours tick by and the Maginnis and Reuben's fears for Stella's safety multiply — Maginnis is also riddled with a healthy dose of guilt. While he was out getting pissed with his mates, he'd hand balled his duty of debt collector onto Stella. If anything has happened to her, it's his fault!! Maginnis' task of finding Stella is frustrated by his discovery that the police Drug Squad seems to have an interest in her. But they're tight lipped and won't divulge the reason for their attention, or whether they, in fact, know her whereabouts. Who said the law is always on your side?? Meanwhile, Stella, is freaking out and realises that the twisted couple are looking forward to her demise once they organise their current deal. With the strength of Wonder Woman on steroids, she manages to untie herself, and works on manufacturing a means of dealing with them before they deal with her. Finally, Maginnis discovers that the Drug Squad have been holding out big time — they've known Stella's whereabouts all along. What's more, Maginnis discovers that they don't really care what happens to Stella, they're more concerned with catching one of their own who has been supplying information to every drug dealer in town. They'd rather put Stella's life on the line than risk their own agenda. Maginnis is ready to explode, and driven by the added knowledge that he's solely responsible for Stella's predicament in the first place, risks a Drug Squad bullet to break his way into the property to save Stella. But he discovers Stella — via gutsiness and determination — has managed to save herself. Girl-power indeed!

Episode 2.06
May 5, 1998
Written by Neville Brown
Directed by Steve Jodrell

Maginnis discovers $10,000 in his bank account that he knows isn't his. Where did it come from? Stella, who doesn't care, suggests the money should be invested in a facelift for the shop. Maginnis though suspects someone could be setting him up. Reuben has a bright idea — Maginnis is always (foolishly) lending people money perhaps someone (surprisingly) has repaid him. Good thought. Maginnis talks to his cousin Dermott who owes him money for a delivery van. Sure enough, Dermott, in his current guise as a musical entrepreneur, tells Maginnis that he has repaid him — plus interest. Satisfied, Maginnis lends the money to Brenda Wick, an old friend who had recently approached him for a loan. Years ago, at the police academy, Brenda saved Maginnis' career and destroyed her own. Brenda is now married to Julian, a giant of a man who runs a concreting business. He's never forgiven or forgotten Maginnis' involvement in Brenda's downfall. Loaning her the money is a chance for Maginnis to repay a favour. Things turn sour when Bobby Boakes, a hapless local identity, turns up at K-for-Kleen and apologises to Maginnis about the money he had to quickly off-load into Maginnis' account. Bobby Boakes has inadvertently become involved in a drug deal — the supplier hasn't been paid and the drugs have disappeared. Now Norman Schumaker, supplier and legendary thug, has threatened to do something suitably violent to Bobby unless he returns the drugs, or the money. Boakes feels sick when he discovers the money is no longer in Maginnis' hands, but Maginnis assures him he'll have it back as soon as he clears up a related problem. On re-visiting Brenda, Maginnis discovers that she's already spent the money. Brenda confesses she's a gambler with an expensive habit. It is so bad, that she's been dipping into Julian's business accounts, and, she insists, if he finds out he won't be a happy man. But Brenda doesn't strike Maginnis as a gambler. In fact, he discovers she's being blackmailed by Garth Belmondo, a young gigolo who picked her up at the pokie machines. Maginnis, with the help of Stella, posing as a bored housewife, and Julian as her brother, force Belmondo to make a list of all the women he's blackmailed and how much money he's extorted from them. Brenda, having learned a huge lesson in judgement, is left off the list and her money is returned — with Julian none the wiser. Maginnis organises to have Schumaker busted for a large amount of amphetamines, Bobby recoups his loses by selling off Dermott's sound equipment, Brenda and Julian take a holiday, Stella's dream of refurbishing the dry-cleaners is perhaps a step closer to reality, but Maginnis well for all his effort, he still remains out of pocket, but no longer indebted.

Maginnis arrives at the hotel, but too late. Reuben is being led away for questioning by Detective Maxine Hendrix. Back at the police station, Reuben is clearly in trouble. Tyrone O'Keefe, Blitz's manager says he saw Reuben throw the hair-dryer into the bath. On viewing the security tape with Maginnis, Reuben points out Tyrone and Van, Blitz's boyfriend leaving the hotel room on the night of Blitz's death. What possible motive could either of them have? It's common knowledge that Blitz did not want to re-sign with Tyrone. Maginnis checks this but discovers that while in the recording studio on the night of his death putting down some new tracks, Blitz had re-signed with Tyrone. The security tape also shows Billie Ross, Blitz's mother arriving and departing carrying a bag. When Stella visits Billy, she discovers a sad, gin swigging women who was devoted to her son. He liked his mother to do his laundry when he was in town but on the night of Blitz's death the hotel door was locked and she left without seeing him. Meanwhile Maxine takes Reuben back to the station and grills him. It's not long before she has him sounding like a serious nutter. Clearly Maxine believes that he's unstable and capable of murder. Maginnis visits Van who insists he wasn't at Blitz's hotel; the last time they were together was at the recording studio. Why is he lying? At the recording studio, Maginnis discovers the existence of a tape of Blitz's final work. But where is it? Could this have been a motive for Blitz's murder? Tyrone appears on the scene and challenges Maginnis. Find the tape and he'll get Reuben off the hook. Maginnis accepts and suspects that if he finds the tape, he'll unravel the mystery of Blitz's death. And so he does. Unknowingly, Billy had it amongst the laundry that she had picked up on the night of Blitz death. She lied when she said she didn't see him. She did see him but he was dead. What's a mother to do but to protect her child at all costs?
