The Cost

Hey baby.

Just letting you know I'm on my way home now.

I'm sorry about this morning.

I was stressed about work and overtired I think.

I didn't mean what I said though, okay?

Anyways, we can talk about that when I get home.

My train leaves soon.

Can you pick me up in about 45 minutes from the station?

I look forward to seeing you.

I love you.

Bye.

Hi, how you doing?

Yeah, good.

That's good.

Busy weekend ahead?

Yeah, renovating.

Thank you.

Ta. / Have fun.

Great. Thank you.

No worries.

Now arriving at Boronia.

Hey, puss.

Previously he had staunchly denied accusations

for the last five years,

but today the 64 year old pleaded guilty

to the manslaughter of his wife, Mary.

His shock admission comes close to three years

since she vanished from their Glen Waverly home.

Six months later her badly decomposed body

was found by hikers at Mount Dandenong.

He will face court next week.

Hey Dad, we're home!

Dad?

Hey babe.

Hey honey.

Dad, can I please come?

No mate, we talked about this.

Please, I'll be good.
