Yeah. Not my kind of music, either.

Not too bad. Yeah, it's not too good either, though, is it, O'Leary?

I mean, about 50% of our call-outs are actually one-ends or noise complaints.

You never know what you're gonna get. Could be a domestic;

it could be just a dog barking;

um, could be a gangland shoot-out.

It's never a gangland shoot-out, though, is it? No.

Nah. No Not yet.

Nope.

Hello? Yoo-hoo!

So, no one's actually coming to the door, but I think we can proceed with caution.

Hey! You can leave your coats on the bed in the spare room.

Legend. Thanks, mate.

Gidday. You right? '70s-themed party. You right?

You'd be surprised at how quickly a friendly game of Twister

can actually spiral into mindless violence.

Cigarette.

OK, guys, we've had a noise complaint.

Yeah, who's the host here?

Scuse us! We're police!

# Somehow it seems...

O'Leary, I'm gonna go into the kitchen,

see if I have better luck in there. Minogue? I'm right here.

I'm going to the kitchen. I heard you.

OK, look, everyone. We all like fun, but what's even more fun

I is quiet fun.l

# ...some imagination- #

Hello? Party people?

A face!

I saw a horrible, hideous face!

Where did everybody go?

And finally, there have been more reports

about a male flasher dressed as the '90s rock star Prince,

who's been exposing himself to women at the Berhampore bus stop.

This is not only distressing to the victims themselves, but also

highly insulting to the memory of a great musical artist.

So let's see what we can do to put an end to his purple reign.

Dismissed. (CLEARS THROAT) Minogue. O'Leary. A word, please.

Now, what I think you saw, Minogue, was some kind of inter-dimensional being.

These facial protuberances - antennae,

or some kind of self-defence mechanism.

Or someone dressed as a cactus. Possibly, O'Leary.

Cactus costume?

I have, however, checked the records,

and that particular house has had noise complaints for over 4O years.

But here's the thing...

What's the thing, sarge?

No one's lived in that house...

for 40 years.

Boom!

Can you not do that? Look, surely it's just an empty house.

There'll be local kids, you know, using it for parties- No.

...that kind of thing. No. I hate to say this,

but I think the evidence points to...

A party bus?

Party ghost? Poltergeists!

It's German for 'noisy spirits'.

There's no such thing as spirits. I saw a ghost once, Minogue.

That's what turned my hair white. Your hair's pitch-black, sarge.

Yeah, well, they're in there. Trust me.

But you know what else?

The experience turned a couple of my pubes white from fear.

I'll take your word for it, sarge. Minogue?

Nah. Copy that. (CLEARS THROAT)

Look, we don't know anything about ghosts. Ah.

That's why I'm bringing in someone who communes with the afterlife.

Chloe Patterson. She's a medium.

Huh. I'm a large, you're a small, you're an XL -

dream team. Ha.

Huh?

I Hmm, yeah. I.

OK. Yeah. Here he is.

Here he is. Yeah, he's communicating with me now.

He's talking about a crime...

an unsolved crime. WHISPERS: How did she know it was a crime?

We're in a police station.

He's been murdered. Actually, it was a noise complaint.

OK? What? A noise complaint.

This is a complete waste of our time. Well, hold up, cos I am getting...

A message... for someone in this room.

Well, I'm seeing a name. And I am getting...

I'm seeing the letter...

G.

Does one of you have a relative...

with the letter G in their name? Oh... my...

God. You're joking.

My grandpa. No! Yeah.

I get the goosebumps. Literally goosebumps.

What was his name?

Grandpa. Oh my God.

With a G.

OK. Well, he's got a message for you.

It's about the money.

The money.

He says not to worry about it.

Yes! Yes.

Yeah? Yeah. Yeah?

That is awesome news. Isn't it? Yeah.

And, wait. He also says...

He says he's proud of you. Oh my goodness. Oh.

I miss him so much, eh?

But it is weird, right?

It is weird. lt's- How?

Well, because Grandad is still alive.

He lives in Havelock North. That's the point.

He's still alive. Yeah, exactly. But she's still able to talk to him.

Now, that is amazing. You can't explain that.

Do you know why you can't explain that? Because it's not real.

Because it's inexplicable.

Now, I know that my grandpa's alive. He's a beekeeper.

All right? There's a couple of times he nearly did die.

He shouldn't have been keeping bees. He went into anaphylactic shock.

Well, he should've chosen a better profession, shouldn't he? Which he did,

after he came out of hospital. Nine months in a coma.

But the point is he's alive now, and she's still able to talk to him.

Think how much she must save on mobile phone bills.

She'd probably still need one for the data- Minogue? Minogue. Minogue?

...but for the phone conversations, she's saving money on-

Minogue. I'm really happy that your grandpa's still alive, OK? Thanks, O'Leary.

I think we should get out the car and go.

OK? I just think you should have a bit more of an open mind - that's all.

That's all.

Yeah, I'm sensing that somebody definitely walked up this drive... Yeah.

...and spirit really wants me to go into this house.

Yeah, Grandad, she was talking to you.

Yeah. She said that you said not to worry about the money.

Well, I don't know what money, but we don't have to worry about it.

Yeah, I'm really picking up a strong presence.

Feel that?

Currently inside the Tukariri St property,

on the lookout for these so-called party ghosts.

To be honest, it's actually quite scary.

Um, for everyone else. Not for-

Not for me.

Yeah. Yeah, OK. Yeah, I can hear ya. I can hear you up there.

It's beginning to freak me out. Yeah, come on. OK, guys.

Guys, I'm sensing a really profound presence in this room.

If there is a spirit present in this room...

Make yourself known.

It's time to blow out the candle.

It's time to blow out the candle.

No. Don't like it. Nah. Don't like it either.

Oh, mate. No, no, no,

don't like this. I don't like this. I'm getting out of here. Mrs Patterson. Chloe-

Getting out of here! ...have you explained to the spirit there's been a noise complaint?

O'Leary, I might just go make sure that she gets out all right,

because of the... thing.

You might need my assistance on that, Minogue.

Mrs Patterson!

Mrs Patterson!

What the hell? I guess it's a '70s ghost.

Getting pretty close, O'Le-

Wait!

Mrs Patterson.

Ha. Scuse me.

That's weird.

Ghosts are real, ghosts are real, ghosts are real...

Mrs Patterson! Ghosts are real, ghosts... Oh, thank God. Where have you been?

Ghosts are real, ghosts are real... Been worried sick.

Argh! Mrs Patterson. Mrs Patterson!

(GRUNTS)

Mrs Patterson!

Oh no. No.

Oh no.

O'Leary? O'Leary!

Where are you, Minogue? Presently in the hallway. Suggest we reconvene in the living room.

Yeah, copy. I've just left the toilet.

I just left the toilet. Request we change our rendezvous point to the toilet.

Proceeding to toilet.

Roger that. I am a, uh, bit scared.

Are you? Over.

Confirmed. I'm a bit scared. Will arrive presently at the rendezvous point. Over.

Please hurry, over. Have arrived at the very scary toilet.

Yeah, I've also arrived at the scary toilet. Over.

No, you're not here yet, O'Leary.

I'm quite sure I am. I'm standing right next to the toilet.

Well, I'm standing right next to the toilet, and I can't see you, sol don't think you're here.

OK, well, I'm standing right next to the toilet. In fact,

now my head's right over the toilet. I'm looking in the toilet, over.

Well, I've got my head pressed up against the toilet, and if you were talking,

there would be vibrations going directly into my ear, and that's not happening, O'Leary.

OK, well, look, I'm just gonna pretend sitting on the toilet.

I still can't see you anywhere in here. Over.
