Voice 2:I’m sure something can be arranged –

[sound of footsteps from inside the house and then at the door]

Voice 3:Who’s this, then?

(British, male)

Voice1:Fuck off, Jamie, this is nothing to do with you.

Voice 2:Jamie? Jamie Northam?

Voice 3:Yeah. Who the fuck are you?

Voice 1:She’s from a TV company. They want to do something on Daisy. Turns out the little bitch isn’t dead after all.

Voice 3:[laughing loudly]

Oh that’s fuckingpriceless, that is –

Voice 1:Seems she didn’t just frame Barry, she framed that poor cow Sharon too –

Voice 2:Well, we can’t be sure of that – I mean, I do have a theory about what happened but –

Voice 3:[laughs]

Oh yeah – you’re not wrong there.Deffosomeone close to home.

Voice 2:Do you have any ideas who, Jamie? Because I’m coming up empty so far.

Voice 3:It’ll cost ya.

Voice 2:That’s fine. That’s how these things work. Who is it?

Voice 3:How do I know you won’t fuck me over? What’s stopping you just fucking off after I give you the gen?

Voice 2:Because I’m recording this. See? So, come on – spill.

Voice 3:You like podcasts? All that true crime shit? My ex loved all that crap –

Voice 2:What’s that got to do with anything?

Voice 3:There’s one you should try. About some bird who went missing in Australia years ago.

Voice 2:I still don’t see –
