East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 1, Episode 4 - Hunt for the Killer - full transcript
There's an investigation into
the death of Gamal Basha.
You're the number-one suspect.
If you're in trouble with I.A.,
it's got nothing to do with me.
Someone's spreading rumors.
I'm putting you in charge
of this investigation.
Every man's responsible
for his own actions.
Maybe Kilu is responsible.
But I'm responsible for him now.
It's a chance to
redeem yourself.
If you reckon it's all right.
Ambo's on its way.
Hang in, brother! Hang in!
One day Sonny will be
able to accept that boy died
at the time he was meant to.
Who's that with Crowley?
David Ngo, 21, medical student.
He found them.
They're his parents.
First victim is Ahn Ngo, 52,
businessman, community leader.
Looks like he was forced at
knifepoint to open the safe,
then he was stabbed five times.
This is Mai Ngo, his wife.
Blood spatter from
arterial blood suggests
she was trying to open the
back door when she was killed.
It was deadlocked.
Blood trail leads all the
way back to the bodies,
so died in flight.
- And this?
- Mai's ear was cut off.
The killer used it
to write that word.
Kum. Any sign of sexual assault?
Won't know for sure till
we get the report back,
but not obvious.
Do we know when this happened?
GMOs estimate late last
night around about 11:00.
Looks like the killer
accessed the house from here.
And there's blood on the ledge
showing that he probably
left the same way.
- No prints so far.
- Forced?
- No.
- Left open?
You'll have to ask
David. It's his bedroom.
Where was he when
his parents were killed?
Says that he spent the
night with his girlfriend.
There was a message left on
the answer phone at 7:15 last night,
said he was staying
at a Dan Nguyen's.
- The sheath?
- David's.
So far no signs of the knife.
Well, everything looks
like a B and E gone wrong
except for the writing
and the mutilation.
Yeah. That's personal.
Obviously a crime like this
generates the highest
level of community outrage.
It appears that the two
victims were murdered
in what may have begun
as a robbery or armed attack,
and anyone with information
that could assist police
should come forward.
We're working closely
with the community
until the persons
responsible are apprehended.
David, I'm Detective
Malik. This is Detective Koa.
Ray, if you're finished,
we'd like to take David inside
for a few more questions.
My word. Apologies
for last week.
Don't usually make a habit
of lobbing at colleagues'
homes pissed,
making a goose
of meself like that.
Yeah. The wife loved
the flowers, mate.
Well, stress, it can
do it to you, you know?
You wake up grinding your
teeth, and that's on a good morning.
To top it off, internal
affairs turns up.
Who knows where
they get their information
and what they'll do with it.
It would be good for me to
know what you're gonna tell them.
I don't know what they're
gonna ask me, Ray.
You can hazard a
guess, can't you?
Whatever they ask me,
I'm gonna tell them the truth.
You'd know what
that is, wouldn't you?
I unlocked the door.
My mother was
laying across the hall.
I knew she was dead,
but I felt her pulse.
Her ear had been removed.
Her jugular vein was cut
and her carotid severed.
I stood up, I went to my father.
He was stabbed several
times below his sternum.
Okay, when was the last time
you saw your parents alive?
Breakfast yesterday.
- And where were you last night?
- My girlfriend's. Lucy's.
And what time did
you get to Lucy's?
I don't know. 9:00, 9:30?
There's a message on
the answering machine
saying that you
were staying at Dan's.
Who'd you stay
with, Dan or Lucy?
Lucy. If I told the truth, it
would have caused trouble.
Your parents, they
would have preferred
a nice Vietnamese girl.
Must have been
tough staying at home
with your parents on your
back about your girlfriend.
I'm not a monk, but
that's how she saw it.
I need you to talk
me through something
over here in your room.
Did you leave your
sliding door open?
- Yes.
- You do that a lot?
Sometimes.
You left your sliding door open
even though you knew
you were staying at Lucy's?
It looks like the killer
accessed the house
through this door.
What are you saying? It's my
fault my parents were killed?
- Is this yours?
- It's for my fishing knife.
Where's the knife?
As far as I know,
it's in my room.
Whereabouts in your room?
What are they
doing to my parents?
They're taking
them to the morgue.
- For an autopsy?
- That's right.
I'm tired. Are you done?
Yeah. Just take... take it easy.
One kilometer in each direction?
Every drain, every bush. No
sign of the murder weapon.
Neighbors heard
screams around 10:30.
They didn't call the police.
Thought it was a domestic.
Okay. Have all the results of
the canvass come back yet?
- No.
- Okay, get onto it.
Now, what about David Ngo?
Blood on his shoes consistent
with entering the crime scene,
but no blood found
on his clothes.
He had all night to get changed.
Said he was staying
at his girlfriend's.
Anyone spoken to her?
Yep, done a doorknock, no joy.
Not answering
landline or mobile either.
All right. Make it a priority.
Lim, any whispers from
the family business?
Yeah, the Ngos have 16
full-time employees, plus casual.
So far I've only spoken
to the acting manager,
but he's getting
us a complete list.
It could be extortion. You
know, what was their business?
They're importers, right? They
could owe someone money.
They refused to
pay, and it gets nasty.
Doesn't fit the
stabbing. Or the ear.
That's anger at a deep level.
It seems the media have
their own theory about that ear.
Apparently, it's
a gang signature.
- Oh, gang signature, my ass.
- Yeah, I agree.
But just in case they
know something we don't,
let's keep it on the radar.
Oh, we've got visitors.
Think you're gonna
detain him for a while?
Would you say you
have a good relationship
with Detective Crowley?
It's a working one.
How did Crowley
take his son's death?
- I guess it hit him hard.
- Guess?
He doesn't talk about it.
Were you aware that Basha
supplied his son with drugs?
There's no proof of that.
Basha was known to sell
heroin at Redfern Station,
and that's where Crowley's
son was found, wasn't it?
So what?
So did Crowley threaten Basha?
Threaten any kind of vengeance?
Detective, are you
holding something back?
No.
What did Crowley say to
Basha when they were fighting?
The man was aggressive.
There were heated words.
Did Crowley threaten Basha?
He was arresting a known drug
dealer who was trying to escape.
So, yeah, in this situation,
he threatened him.
What were the exact words?
To the best of my memory,
he said he'd come after him,
this wasn't the end,
and he wouldn't escape.
When you heard
Basha had been killed,
did it occur to you
Crowley might be involved?
It occurred to me the
drug deals might stop.
Crowley?
It occurred to me it'd be
a good result for Crowley.
Crowley had the motivation,
perhaps created the opportunity.
Perhaps. Around here
we look for evidence.
Is there anything you would like
to add, anything we should know?
Like what?
Anything that would
shed light on this matter,
that would point the
investigation either way.
Train driver said he saw
a man leaving the site
where Basha was found.
Anglo middle-aged male.
How would you describe Crowley?
That's irrelevant,
and you know it.
Man was killed in cold blood.
His killer could walk away.
You should think
about that, Zane.
So did we cover our ass?
I've got a personal
matter to deal with.
What are you doing? Come here.
Come here. What are
you doing? Let's go.
Leave me alone. Go away.
- What are you doing?
- Talk in the...
We'll talk in the car. Let's go.
Yeah. I'll go this way.
Let's go. Come on.
Go, go.
Let's go.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just got to get
you out of the rain.
Listen to me. All right?
Let's go.
Everything's fine. Baba is fine.
I'm sorry. I
couldn't leave work.
It's all right.
Is he all right?
He says two men
picked him up in a van.
They took him somewhere,
dropped him at a mosque,
and he wandered off again.
How do we know that
he's all right? He's fine.
Rahman, what did
these men do to you?
Look. Look, they
took his new shoes.
No, he gave them away.
I gave them to a poor man.
- Don't argue with me.
- Baba.
Baba, what did I tell you?
If you want to leave the house,
you got to take
someone with you.
Remember I told you that?
I told you a hundred times.
- Baba!
- Where's my remote control?
You talking to me
like I'm a child?
Look at her. She's
my wife, isn't she?
Where is the
respect due from her?
No one respects
you more than Ma.
She's stuck by
you all these years.
A wife should
respect her husband!
Most women would
have given up on you.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Ma!
Ma.
Each time it happens, I
wonder if I'll ever see him again.
Ma.
Maybe these men
were good, you know?
They left him at a mosque.
You know, Zane, the
world is full of evil men.
Anything could have
happened. Anything.
There's blood on the wall.
I think they used my mother's
ear to write on the wall.
"My mother's
ear." It sounds so...
- Cold.
- No, clinical.
Well, he is a medical student.
He's talking about the
murder of his own mother.
Yeah, that's not the point.
The list of known
family employees.
Anything interesting?
Ah, just minor stuff,
possession of marijuana,
inject heroin.
Malik and I can take care of it.
Well, if it's all
right with you,
Koa and I can handle it.
I don't appreciate
what you just did.
I.A. are looking at both of us.
You want them to suddenly
think we're best mates?
What did you tell them?
Like I said, Koa
and I can handle it.
Five down, 22 to go.
I didn't understand
a word that man said.
You should have
brought Lim with you.
Lim doesn't speak Thai either.
You want to stop and eat?
- No.
- You just said you were hungry.
I don't like eating
in front of you.
I don't mind. It's good
for my self-discipline.
- No.
- Want to go to gym tonight?
- No.
- "No, no."
How long are you
gonna keep this up, mate,
not talking to me,
not looking at me?
Huh?
I went to your son's
christening, you know?
I saw you.
Next tradie is a man called
Keo Sar, Jones Street.
You don't want to
talk about it, fine.
I don't want to
talk about it either.
Would you prefer
to get a new partner?
- If that's what you want.
- I want my old partner back.
What do you know
about the next caller?
Cambodian. Got three
months for possession,
robbing cigarettes from
a newsstand with threat.
So Mrs. Ngo, right?
- Last... Last winter.
- Last winter.
Mrs. Ngo hired me to dig up
her yard, take some tree out.
The last time you saw
the Ngos was last year?
Last year when I
finished their yard.
Where were you Thursday evening
between 10:00 p.m. and midnight?
Here with my mom.
She's sick, had a bad night.
- Keo, you got a criminal record?
- Sort of.
Drugs, wasn't it? And robbery?
I just need to... Want
to deal with my mom.
It's okay. We'll wait.
It's okay, Mom. Go back to bed.
It's all right.
Mom is in pain. She's cry.
Expect me to buy
some heroin to smoke.
So I don't have any money,
so I stole some cigarette
from a newsstand.
- Did you tell your lawyer that?
- He told me to plead guilty.
He said I would get
off. Instead, I went to jail.
Okay, so how was it
working for the Ngos?
Rather not criticize.
Mrs. Ngo is dead,
deserve respect,
but they could be difficult.
- What do you mean, difficult?
- Picky, criticize your works.
- Did you have issues with her?
- Oh, no.
Was there any trouble
while you were there,
fights, complaints,
anything like that?
Not me. The biggest
fight was with her son.
Any idea what the problem was?
Uh, no respect.
He didn't have
respect for his mother,
and he never listened when
she said no more girlfriend.
Lucy confirms David
spent the night with her,
although it seems
he's been a little loose
with the facts again.
She has him arriving
close to midnight.
- So much for his alibi.
- She mention the mother?
Seems Mai hated her
son seeing an Aussie girl.
Lucy reckons the mother
was jealous of the relationship,
that she was pushing
David to leave her.
Controlling mother,
demanding girlfriend.
Manipulation from
all quarters, right?
You like the son
for this, don't you?
Yeah, weapon, window, family
conflict, dysfunctional parents.
His father was a model citizen.
He wouldn't stick
up for his own son.
- You don't know that.
- What about the ear?
What about the
writing on the wall?
How's that fit the
extortion theory?
Has anyone ever heard
of the Tran brothers?
They're a pair a scumbags
from the Black Dragons.
They're smack dealers,
but they're inside for
shooting a Dragon in the back.
Ahn Ngo witnessed it,
gave evidence at the trial.
Some radio jock was
calling the Ngo murders
a gang-related revenge killing.
How did we miss this?
We didn't miss it.
We discounted it.
There's no evidence
of gang involvement.
All right, well, you
guys get onto it now,
but don't waste precious time.
Oh, and keep an eye on the son.
And, Crowley, have the rest of
the team on the robbery angle.
All right.
This Black Dragon
stuff is such bullshit.
Ngo is one witness.
Trans weren't even
convicted on his evidence.
- Tokarev.
- What?
It's the weapon they used.
Anyone heard of a
crim called Bazini?
Why?
It's a gang connection.
It's a long shot.
- I know Bazini.
- What kind of man is he?
In and out all his life.
Violent?
Well, he killed a bloke.
He murdered him.
That was reduced
to manslaughter.
And it was a shooting,
not a stabbing.
Tokarev. Russian,
cheap, powerful.
Known for going
off in the holster.
There's a lot of
ex-owners in Russia
walking around minus a toe.
7.62 pistol. That's
got to be rare.
Rare? Oh, yeah.
I'd say that Tokarev
is a one of a kind.
What's this?
This image is from the bullet
the doctors removed
from Baba's brain.
And this one is from a
murder in Cabramatta.
See the markings?
They're identical.
- So, what does this mean?
- I think I've found the gun.
You were always clever,
even as a little boy.
Well, don't get your hopes up.
I mean, it's a start,
but it could go nowhere.
No, no, no. I know you will find
the thief who shot your father.
- What are you doing?
- Baba. Baba! Baba!
No, you don't touch
this. This is my paper!
- I need this one for work!
- No, you take nothing!
It's Ramadan. The family
should stay together.
This is my history.
Leave it alone!
- Tony Bazini?
- Yeah, that's right.
My name is Zane Malik. I
work with the state police.
I want to talk to you about
a gun you used to own.
I'm a working man now,
doing the right thing.
Tokarev, Russian pistol.
The Tran hit.
I've told your lot
everything I know.
I had nothing to do with it.
You know what that gun was
used for before you owned it, mate?
Nothing.
- Stickups, Tony.
- No.
I know you did time
for killing a man.
Cerani, he went after
my sister, went too far.
She didn't like it.
What did you kill him with?
Tiny .22 toy gun.
Still can't believe
it killed him.
Not with the Tokarev?
I bought that later
in '97 after I got out.
It was a piece of shit, so
I sold it on to the Trans.
- The rest you know.
- Okay.
So who'd you buy it off?
Well, let's see.
My memory's not what it was.
I was in Brissie, port job.
Seafood company
had some trouble.
It was the sort of job
where self-confidence
and a positive attitude
isn't always enough
to get you through.
The union supplied it?
No. I bought it off a bloke in
a pub up on the Gold Coast.
Tough guy. Kind of wary.
Did he give you a name?
Government paying you too much.
His name is John Hunt.
Where would I find John Hunt?
I don't know, mate.
For 200, I get everything.
He's in the shower.
Well, look, I can cover
my eyes if you want me to.
I just got to talk to
him for five minutes.
What do you want
him to do this time?
What?
What happened last
time hurt him, eh?
Yeah, it was an
unfortunate accident, right?
It always is.
Sonny's a good man,
and he's suffering.
- It's affecting us all.
- What's affecting us?
Your beautiful baby.
Looks just like his mum.
You got a lead on
the Ngo business?
I need you to cover for me
for a few hours, maybe all day.
- What are you up to?
- Say you'll do it, all right?
We've always said
we were brothers.
Brothers are supposed
to trust one another.
Supposed to talk
to one another too.
I mean, what do
you want me to say?
I know it was my
mistake, and I'm sorry.
I sent him in. I
gave him the nod.
The woman come out of
nowhere. We couldn't factor that in.
That doesn't stop
me feeling like shit
at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
Would you have made
the decision to send Kilu in
had you not been doing
that acting sergeant number?
What do you think?
You think I'd put my career
in front of someone's life?
No. You wouldn't have done that.
This thing you want me to
cover you for, it sounds dodgy.
Can you at least tell
me where you're going?
Queensland.
I've got to take care of
some business up there.
All right.
I'll call you.
- What do you want?
- We need to have a chat.
- Says who?
- My name is Zane Malik.
Yeah? What's this about?
I want to talk to you
about a gun you had.
Not me. I don't carry guns.
You had a Tokarev before
you sold it to Tony Bazini.
You got me mixed up
with somebody else.
I don't think so.
During the '80s, you were
a feared man, weren't you?
Doing stickups, robbing
banks, grocery stores.
- It takes courage, doesn't it?
- You got the wrong bloke.
There's one stickup I
want to talk to you about.
Remember what you
did at Lakemba in '86?
I was overseas in the '80s.
No, I think you were here
doing stickups
with that Tokarev.
Yeah?
- Well, prove it.
- I will.
When I do, you'll
pay for what you did.
Hey, I don't like
being threatened.
Trouble goes both
ways, Mr. Zane Malik.
Forget the Black Dragons.
Their players are
either dead or in jail.
- Where's Malik?
- He's chasing down a gun angle.
I spoke to ballistics,
and apparently there's a
weapon that might link...
There's no evidence
of a weapon being used.
What are we wasting
our time on this for?
You told us to be thorough.
We've still got to do a
walk-through with David.
- I'd like to set that up.
- Sure, go ahead.
Ray, can I see you for a moment?
I.A. want to see me
again. You know that?
It's not unusual for them to
take a follow-up statement.
Oh, yeah.
They love to walk you
halfway up the plank,
then leave you there to
watch the bloody sharks.
Well, I hope this is over soon
so you can get on
with the rest of your life.
Hope?
I'd like to think you do
a bit better than hope.
Or do you know
something, do you?
They been talking to you?
They've been
talking to everyone.
What's the verdict?
Do you think I did it?
I can't discuss
this. You know that.
Yeah.
I can't come...
All right, all right.
Stop your swearing.
I'll see you there in 10.
You said you didn't
come home that night.
You said you went straight
from uni to Lucy's place.
What time was that again? I
thought it was 9:00 or 10:00.
- You sure about that?
- Maybe it was later.
I stopped off in
Chinatown first.
- Any reason?
- I wanted to think.
Something on your mind?
Mum gave me an ultimatum...
Dump Lucy, or she'd cut my
allowance, take away my car.
- Did you dump Lucy?
- No.
But your girlfriend
saw your mother
as an obstacle in
the relationship, right?
Did she tell you to kill
your mother, David?
No.
Sometimes people get
other people to do things,
things they later regret.
But that's not what
happened, is it?
You said we were here to
make a list of stolen things.
Isn't that why we're here?
David, if you can
help us, we're listening.
I do remember one thing...
Mum collected charms.
Charms? What, like gold charms?
- Yes, gold.
- Yeah?
I gave her a horseshoe
when I was a kid, for protection.
Horseshoe. Yeah, what else?
There was a cradle, a
swan, a little hammer,
a crane with a
red ruby eye on it.
My mother was laying over there.
My father was laying over there.
The look on my father's face,
that will be with me forever.
Maybe he was telling the truth.
Or maybe Crowley's right,
and it's a home
invasion gone wrong.
Let's check every
statement of every witness
of every break and
enter in Cabramatta
in the last six months, yeah?
You want to tell me what you
were doing in Queensland?
You want to get your ass
hauled out in front of I.A.
and have to speak out against me
like what's going
on with Crowley?
What are you saying? You
doing something unethical?
So far I've had to break
into someone's apartment.
I took information
off their computer,
and that's just for starters.
This is about your
father's shooting, isn't it?
Callas, I need you to
check the money trail for me.
Lim, can you talk to
the neighbors again?
I'm sorry, but if
this is extortion,
someone knew the
Ngos had gold in that safe.
- Yup.
- Thanks, guys.
Zane, hey.
You know how many dead-end
leads your father's case...
Give me a break, habibi.
Just think about
what you're doing.
See you back at
the office, yeah?
So your son purchased
heroin at Redfern Station,
subsequently overdosed,
leading to his death.
His didn't overdose.
He was sold heroin
laced with quinine.
Three days after your
son's death, Gamal Basha,
a heroin dealer who
operated in Redfern,
is found dead.
One murdering smack dealer,
one innocent kid, both dead,
yet you're only asking questions
about the smack dealer.
Am I the only one here that
thinks that's ass way around?
Detective, did you
threaten Gamal Basha's life?
- No, I did not.
- No?
What did you say
when you arrested him?
He was attempting to escape. I
was attempting to subdue him.
I told him he wasn't
gonna get away.
See, we have information
that you told Basha
you would come after him,
that this wasn't the end,
that he wouldn't escape.
What do you say to that?
I told a murdering smack dealer
that justice was gonna
catch up with him.
And what's your idea of justice?
- The law.
- Where were you on the 16th?
I walked the streets
trying to come to terms
with me son's death.
- In Redfern?
- Yes.
We have a witness who saw
a man leaving Redfern Station
after Gamal was
hit by the train.
Yeah, I heard.
Middle-aged Anglo man.
Your witness say it was me?
If there's an explanation
for your presence there,
now is the time to give it.
Oh, you'd like
that, wouldn't you?
"I went to Redfern
to confront him.
There was a fight,
and he accidentally
fell under a train."
That's what
you're after, isn't it?
Is that what happened?
No.
- May I go now?
- No.
This man may be connected
to another violent attack,
so anything you can tell us
about the guy who
hurt you will help...
What he said,
what he looked like.
He was tall, young, slim.
He had messy brown
hair, pasty skin, gray eyes.
Said he was a
roadie with a band.
Talked about how
many women he had,
but he couldn't get it up.
Was there anything that provoked
the attack, anything specific?
Oh, he was talking
weird and getting rough,
so I asked him to stop.
He gets angry, pulls a
knife, and he cuts my ear.
- He sign in to the book?
- Mick Jagger, yeah?
So you said he had
brown hair, pasty skin.
Anything else identifying him?
Oh, his eyes kind of glittered
like he was on something.
And he had tats...
Dice and a snake.
Prison tats?
Possibly.
Well, when you feel up to it,
we'll get you to come down,
flip through some photo albums.
- I'll do it now.
- Sure.
No.
No.
What am I gonna tell my kids?
Doctor said I was
lucky he didn't sever it.
You're luckier than you know.
Him.
Those eyes. That's him.
I'll do whatever you
want... I.D. parade, court.
You've done plenty.
I'll find the name
that fits the photo ID.
- Thanks.
- Could you drop me back at work?
Tell you what, Lily.
Take the night off.
- I can't take your money.
- Please take it.
Take it for your kids. Take it.
You'll go to heaven one day.
Your wife finds
out, you're in hell.
Charity.
Wives like to think
it begins at home.
Our ear lopper is
Warren Henry Johns,
released on parole
eight days ago.
What's he in for?
Malicious wounding.
Get the warrant.
Bloody toecutters
came back to me, mate.
You told them I
threatened Basha.
They had it down word for word.
I told you I'd tell
them the truth, Ray.
- I also indicated context.
- Oh, context. Thanks.
That's big of you. You
can piss that one away.
Whatever helps you
sleep at night, eh?
I sleep. Do you?
I don't really care anymore.
You can't touch me... you,
bloody I.A., the lot of you.
You can't touch me, Malik,
'cause I just don't
care anymore.
Bring Johns in.
Sharon Johns?
Who did this to you?
My brother.
Warren? Why?
He was lying on the
sofa. I told him to get a job.
And he went mental.
Yeah, I can see. What happened?
He was yelling at me...
I was against him. I
was in the conspiracy.
And then he pulled a knife.
- Where's the knife?
- I don't know.
He took off when
he saw the blood.
Is he sleeping in here?
I-I can't have him back.
He's off his face
the whole time.
What's he on?
Speed, coke, acid, crack.
You name it, he's doing it.
Ah, a replica.
Speed. Used fits.
And a lot of them.
We'll need a Taser and
an army to hold him down.
Gold charms.
Does Warren have
any old friends or family
that he might be staying with?
No. He burned them all long ago.
- Girls?
- Doubt it.
There's a guy he
met up with last week.
Asian bloke.
Someone he met at Silverwater.
Thanks.
Right, we're interested in
a guy called Warren Johns.
What can you tell us about him?
Not much. He
was in jail with me.
Describe your
relationship with him.
We shared a cell.
Right, so you got
pretty close, didn't you?
You spent a lot
of time together.
He helped protect me
from other prisoners.
We were friends.
Maybe you're more
than just friends.
We're gonna have to take
you down to the station.
Don't worry, Mom.
Is there someone who
can look after your mother?
- Your dad?
- No.
How long has your mum been sick?
Two years.
So she depends on
you for food, medicine.
You pay the bills. That's
a lot of pressure, isn't it?
You have to provide. You have
to come up with the solutions.
Yeah?
I don't mind. She
done everything...
Is that what the Ngos were?
Were they just another
solution you provided?
I want my lawyer.
You know what a
lawyer will say to you.
They'll tell you to say nothing.
But saying nothing isn't
gonna help you, Keo.
Come on, let's go.
Keo, did you tell Warren
Johns about the Ngos?
Why would I have?
We found jewelry belonging to
Mrs. Ngo at Warren Johns' house.
Can you explain
how that got there?
That's a connection, isn't it?
- I might have mentioned them.
- What might you have mentioned?
I might have told him Mrs.
Ngo didn't pay me the last job.
- How much she owe you?
- Two weeks.
- Why didn't she pay you?
- She was mean.
She find fault, and
she refuse to pay.
Whose idea was
it to rob the Ngos?
We didn't.
We just went there to pick up
the money that she owed me.
You take weapons?
- No.
- Nothing?
Warren had a stupid toy gun.
He said it would frighten them.
How did the Ngos react when
you turned up at the door?
How'd you get in?
A sliding door in the bedroom.
Did you take anything
from that room?
- Not me. Warren.
- What did he take?
A knife.
Did you kill them?
No, I didn't kill them.
Warren?
We know he's got
a history of violence.
We're concerned about you, Keo.
Your mum's sick,
and you're in trouble.
We're gonna do what
we can to help you,
but you got to help us.
I stay outside. I was lookout.
Warren, he went inside.
I heard screaming,
and there was blood,
and he have a knife.
I said, "What have
you done, Warren?"
Johns is violent and a
danger to the community
and Keo Sar's his accomplice.
In my opinion, the quickest
way of getting Johns off the street
is to use Sar as bait.
Can you guarantee
no one will get hurt?
- You know I can't.
- Surveillance are through.
The car's bugged,
tracking devices installed.
All right, we'll go ahead.
But this is costing a packet.
We can't sustain it for
more than a few days.
If Sar's paranoid he
won't go straight to Johns.
Could take longer
than a few days.
Well, that's all we've got.
After that, we pull the pin.
"He was disillusioned
with the people
and disturbed by the
injustices of society.
So Muhammad retreated
to a cave to meditate."
What's that got
to do with fasting?
Well, fasting helps
us feel the hunger
and the thirst for the poor.
Thanks, Dad. I painted it.
Oh, you're an artist?
Oh, and I've got
a letter for you too.
A letter? For me?
Who gave you this?
I don't know. A man.
Don't talk to this man. Ever.
Do you understand
me? Amir, you too.
- Why not?
- Who is he?
I'm not sure.
Children, go help
in the kitchen.
- What, a criminal?
- I don't know.
You're not sure? You don't know?
Zane, if our kids are in
danger, I want to know.
Don't ever take
your eyes off them.
Someone should be
there to pick them up
and drop them off always.
Is it something to
do with Crowley?
- No.
- Well, then, what?
Zane, what?
I don't like this. Don't
keep things from me.
Look, I've got to go out.
But we've been waiting
for you to break our fast.
I'm sorry.
Stay away from my kids.
You stay away from me.
My kids have nothing to
do with what you did in 1986.
You're not investigating me.
Who's paying you?
What do you want?
Come near my family
again, you'll find out.
Hey, guys, the TIs just
picked up Johns talking to Sar.
They're meeting south side
of the station, bit of a panic.
Let's go.
- Just get in.
- My sister's called the cops.
There's cops all over the
place. They're after me.
Just get in the car. People
are watching, Warren.
- Head north.
- Listen to me, Warren.
They're after me. We got to go.
- Listen to me.
- We've got to go north.
Listen to me. I'm
scared, Warren.
They know about the murder.
They know we were there.
What did you tell them?
I tell them nothing, Warren,
but they asking me questions.
If they ask you, you got
to tell them you are sick.
You got to tell them
I wasn't involved.
You drop me in it?
Them, the cops.
You set me up.
Police! Clear the
area! Clear the area!
- Piss off!
- Let him go, Warren.
- Let him go, Warren.
- Piss off.
We're not gonna hurt
you. Let him go! Let him go.
Let him go, Warren.
We won't hurt you.
Let him go, Warren.
Let him go, Warren.
We don't want to hurt you.
Quick, up, up! Get up! Get up!
- Drop the knife!
- I know what you want!
I've been told.
I've been warned.
Drop the knife.
I just want to...
Let go of the gun.
Drop the knife, I'll lower
the gun. How's that sound?
No, you're on a hunt. I
can see him behind you.
There's no one else.
It's just you and me.
I can see him behind
you! It's just you and me.
- You want to shut me up?
- I want to talk, mate.
- You could walk away. Walk away!
- I can't walk away.
Drop the knife, we'll
walk out of here together.
You're afraid 'cause
you should be.
I'm not afraid, mate.
Look, I'm not afraid.
Look. Look at that.
Don't want to hurt you,
but if I have to, I will.
You're not gonna
hurt me, all right?
He tells me I'm going.
Who, mate? Who
are you talking to?
The voice inside.
He tells me I'm going.
I've done too much
blood. I hurt my sister.
- He tells me I'm going.
- We can talk about it.
You're not going.
You're not going. It's not over.
It's a lie. You got
darkness in you.
Now there's guys in here
want to hurt you, mate.
I want to make
you safe, all right?
There's no such thing as safe!
Get off me!
Get off me!
Get off!
You should have
shot the mad bastard.
Warren is crazy.
Like, he was punching
him with that knife.
Five stab wounds to
Mr. Ngo, three to Mrs. Ngo.
So what were you doing
when these people were dying?
I was panic.
"Stop, Warren, stop.
Don't hurt them."
I get the guy to open the safe,
but there's no money in there.
So I prod him a bit to tell
me where the money is.
And Keo's yelling, "Kill them!"
And she screams,
and he says to kill
the bitch, kill the bitch.
He hears voices.
And I have
nothing to do with it.
Have you heard of felony murder?
If someone is killed
during an armed robbery,
even if you're just
an accomplice,
you're responsible.
Any word on the Johns case?
Okay. Thanks.
Johns won't stand
trial. He's unfit to plead.
Feel sorry for Sar.
Parole board said he was
all right, had good prospects.
Now...
You know, I found out
about that word, "kum."
It's Cambodian. It
means "revenge."
Our contestant
here is Dusan Kuric.
Dusan was a hard
worker, a good provider,
and an honorable Christian Serb.
So which army was
he involved with?
The Bosnian Serb army.
There were soldiers everywhere
calling us dirty Muslims,
hate in their eyes.
Ray, what do you know
about a crook called John Hunt?
Not much, mate. Don't
know a John Hunt.
I want to reopen
my father's case.
You must work within
the system, Malik.
Otherwise I can't help you.
Patricia, we could
be good together.
You can't deny that.
We don't feel safe
when you're out.
I think I found the
man who shot Baba.
Are you sure it's him?
I need more
evidence to be certain.
I was afraid you weren't
gonna come home,
that you might die.
I was a copper doing my job.
What are you gonna do?
You gonna run off to I.A.?
Is that what you're gonna do?
You might think it's hard when
someone tries to destroy you.
It's unbearable when they try
and destroy someone you love.
the death of Gamal Basha.
You're the number-one suspect.
If you're in trouble with I.A.,
it's got nothing to do with me.
Someone's spreading rumors.
I'm putting you in charge
of this investigation.
Every man's responsible
for his own actions.
Maybe Kilu is responsible.
But I'm responsible for him now.
It's a chance to
redeem yourself.
If you reckon it's all right.
Ambo's on its way.
Hang in, brother! Hang in!
One day Sonny will be
able to accept that boy died
at the time he was meant to.
Who's that with Crowley?
David Ngo, 21, medical student.
He found them.
They're his parents.
First victim is Ahn Ngo, 52,
businessman, community leader.
Looks like he was forced at
knifepoint to open the safe,
then he was stabbed five times.
This is Mai Ngo, his wife.
Blood spatter from
arterial blood suggests
she was trying to open the
back door when she was killed.
It was deadlocked.
Blood trail leads all the
way back to the bodies,
so died in flight.
- And this?
- Mai's ear was cut off.
The killer used it
to write that word.
Kum. Any sign of sexual assault?
Won't know for sure till
we get the report back,
but not obvious.
Do we know when this happened?
GMOs estimate late last
night around about 11:00.
Looks like the killer
accessed the house from here.
And there's blood on the ledge
showing that he probably
left the same way.
- No prints so far.
- Forced?
- No.
- Left open?
You'll have to ask
David. It's his bedroom.
Where was he when
his parents were killed?
Says that he spent the
night with his girlfriend.
There was a message left on
the answer phone at 7:15 last night,
said he was staying
at a Dan Nguyen's.
- The sheath?
- David's.
So far no signs of the knife.
Well, everything looks
like a B and E gone wrong
except for the writing
and the mutilation.
Yeah. That's personal.
Obviously a crime like this
generates the highest
level of community outrage.
It appears that the two
victims were murdered
in what may have begun
as a robbery or armed attack,
and anyone with information
that could assist police
should come forward.
We're working closely
with the community
until the persons
responsible are apprehended.
David, I'm Detective
Malik. This is Detective Koa.
Ray, if you're finished,
we'd like to take David inside
for a few more questions.
My word. Apologies
for last week.
Don't usually make a habit
of lobbing at colleagues'
homes pissed,
making a goose
of meself like that.
Yeah. The wife loved
the flowers, mate.
Well, stress, it can
do it to you, you know?
You wake up grinding your
teeth, and that's on a good morning.
To top it off, internal
affairs turns up.
Who knows where
they get their information
and what they'll do with it.
It would be good for me to
know what you're gonna tell them.
I don't know what they're
gonna ask me, Ray.
You can hazard a
guess, can't you?
Whatever they ask me,
I'm gonna tell them the truth.
You'd know what
that is, wouldn't you?
I unlocked the door.
My mother was
laying across the hall.
I knew she was dead,
but I felt her pulse.
Her ear had been removed.
Her jugular vein was cut
and her carotid severed.
I stood up, I went to my father.
He was stabbed several
times below his sternum.
Okay, when was the last time
you saw your parents alive?
Breakfast yesterday.
- And where were you last night?
- My girlfriend's. Lucy's.
And what time did
you get to Lucy's?
I don't know. 9:00, 9:30?
There's a message on
the answering machine
saying that you
were staying at Dan's.
Who'd you stay
with, Dan or Lucy?
Lucy. If I told the truth, it
would have caused trouble.
Your parents, they
would have preferred
a nice Vietnamese girl.
Must have been
tough staying at home
with your parents on your
back about your girlfriend.
I'm not a monk, but
that's how she saw it.
I need you to talk
me through something
over here in your room.
Did you leave your
sliding door open?
- Yes.
- You do that a lot?
Sometimes.
You left your sliding door open
even though you knew
you were staying at Lucy's?
It looks like the killer
accessed the house
through this door.
What are you saying? It's my
fault my parents were killed?
- Is this yours?
- It's for my fishing knife.
Where's the knife?
As far as I know,
it's in my room.
Whereabouts in your room?
What are they
doing to my parents?
They're taking
them to the morgue.
- For an autopsy?
- That's right.
I'm tired. Are you done?
Yeah. Just take... take it easy.
One kilometer in each direction?
Every drain, every bush. No
sign of the murder weapon.
Neighbors heard
screams around 10:30.
They didn't call the police.
Thought it was a domestic.
Okay. Have all the results of
the canvass come back yet?
- No.
- Okay, get onto it.
Now, what about David Ngo?
Blood on his shoes consistent
with entering the crime scene,
but no blood found
on his clothes.
He had all night to get changed.
Said he was staying
at his girlfriend's.
Anyone spoken to her?
Yep, done a doorknock, no joy.
Not answering
landline or mobile either.
All right. Make it a priority.
Lim, any whispers from
the family business?
Yeah, the Ngos have 16
full-time employees, plus casual.
So far I've only spoken
to the acting manager,
but he's getting
us a complete list.
It could be extortion. You
know, what was their business?
They're importers, right? They
could owe someone money.
They refused to
pay, and it gets nasty.
Doesn't fit the
stabbing. Or the ear.
That's anger at a deep level.
It seems the media have
their own theory about that ear.
Apparently, it's
a gang signature.
- Oh, gang signature, my ass.
- Yeah, I agree.
But just in case they
know something we don't,
let's keep it on the radar.
Oh, we've got visitors.
Think you're gonna
detain him for a while?
Would you say you
have a good relationship
with Detective Crowley?
It's a working one.
How did Crowley
take his son's death?
- I guess it hit him hard.
- Guess?
He doesn't talk about it.
Were you aware that Basha
supplied his son with drugs?
There's no proof of that.
Basha was known to sell
heroin at Redfern Station,
and that's where Crowley's
son was found, wasn't it?
So what?
So did Crowley threaten Basha?
Threaten any kind of vengeance?
Detective, are you
holding something back?
No.
What did Crowley say to
Basha when they were fighting?
The man was aggressive.
There were heated words.
Did Crowley threaten Basha?
He was arresting a known drug
dealer who was trying to escape.
So, yeah, in this situation,
he threatened him.
What were the exact words?
To the best of my memory,
he said he'd come after him,
this wasn't the end,
and he wouldn't escape.
When you heard
Basha had been killed,
did it occur to you
Crowley might be involved?
It occurred to me the
drug deals might stop.
Crowley?
It occurred to me it'd be
a good result for Crowley.
Crowley had the motivation,
perhaps created the opportunity.
Perhaps. Around here
we look for evidence.
Is there anything you would like
to add, anything we should know?
Like what?
Anything that would
shed light on this matter,
that would point the
investigation either way.
Train driver said he saw
a man leaving the site
where Basha was found.
Anglo middle-aged male.
How would you describe Crowley?
That's irrelevant,
and you know it.
Man was killed in cold blood.
His killer could walk away.
You should think
about that, Zane.
So did we cover our ass?
I've got a personal
matter to deal with.
What are you doing? Come here.
Come here. What are
you doing? Let's go.
Leave me alone. Go away.
- What are you doing?
- Talk in the...
We'll talk in the car. Let's go.
Yeah. I'll go this way.
Let's go. Come on.
Go, go.
Let's go.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just got to get
you out of the rain.
Listen to me. All right?
Let's go.
Everything's fine. Baba is fine.
I'm sorry. I
couldn't leave work.
It's all right.
Is he all right?
He says two men
picked him up in a van.
They took him somewhere,
dropped him at a mosque,
and he wandered off again.
How do we know that
he's all right? He's fine.
Rahman, what did
these men do to you?
Look. Look, they
took his new shoes.
No, he gave them away.
I gave them to a poor man.
- Don't argue with me.
- Baba.
Baba, what did I tell you?
If you want to leave the house,
you got to take
someone with you.
Remember I told you that?
I told you a hundred times.
- Baba!
- Where's my remote control?
You talking to me
like I'm a child?
Look at her. She's
my wife, isn't she?
Where is the
respect due from her?
No one respects
you more than Ma.
She's stuck by
you all these years.
A wife should
respect her husband!
Most women would
have given up on you.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Ma!
Ma.
Each time it happens, I
wonder if I'll ever see him again.
Ma.
Maybe these men
were good, you know?
They left him at a mosque.
You know, Zane, the
world is full of evil men.
Anything could have
happened. Anything.
There's blood on the wall.
I think they used my mother's
ear to write on the wall.
"My mother's
ear." It sounds so...
- Cold.
- No, clinical.
Well, he is a medical student.
He's talking about the
murder of his own mother.
Yeah, that's not the point.
The list of known
family employees.
Anything interesting?
Ah, just minor stuff,
possession of marijuana,
inject heroin.
Malik and I can take care of it.
Well, if it's all
right with you,
Koa and I can handle it.
I don't appreciate
what you just did.
I.A. are looking at both of us.
You want them to suddenly
think we're best mates?
What did you tell them?
Like I said, Koa
and I can handle it.
Five down, 22 to go.
I didn't understand
a word that man said.
You should have
brought Lim with you.
Lim doesn't speak Thai either.
You want to stop and eat?
- No.
- You just said you were hungry.
I don't like eating
in front of you.
I don't mind. It's good
for my self-discipline.
- No.
- Want to go to gym tonight?
- No.
- "No, no."
How long are you
gonna keep this up, mate,
not talking to me,
not looking at me?
Huh?
I went to your son's
christening, you know?
I saw you.
Next tradie is a man called
Keo Sar, Jones Street.
You don't want to
talk about it, fine.
I don't want to
talk about it either.
Would you prefer
to get a new partner?
- If that's what you want.
- I want my old partner back.
What do you know
about the next caller?
Cambodian. Got three
months for possession,
robbing cigarettes from
a newsstand with threat.
So Mrs. Ngo, right?
- Last... Last winter.
- Last winter.
Mrs. Ngo hired me to dig up
her yard, take some tree out.
The last time you saw
the Ngos was last year?
Last year when I
finished their yard.
Where were you Thursday evening
between 10:00 p.m. and midnight?
Here with my mom.
She's sick, had a bad night.
- Keo, you got a criminal record?
- Sort of.
Drugs, wasn't it? And robbery?
I just need to... Want
to deal with my mom.
It's okay. We'll wait.
It's okay, Mom. Go back to bed.
It's all right.
Mom is in pain. She's cry.
Expect me to buy
some heroin to smoke.
So I don't have any money,
so I stole some cigarette
from a newsstand.
- Did you tell your lawyer that?
- He told me to plead guilty.
He said I would get
off. Instead, I went to jail.
Okay, so how was it
working for the Ngos?
Rather not criticize.
Mrs. Ngo is dead,
deserve respect,
but they could be difficult.
- What do you mean, difficult?
- Picky, criticize your works.
- Did you have issues with her?
- Oh, no.
Was there any trouble
while you were there,
fights, complaints,
anything like that?
Not me. The biggest
fight was with her son.
Any idea what the problem was?
Uh, no respect.
He didn't have
respect for his mother,
and he never listened when
she said no more girlfriend.
Lucy confirms David
spent the night with her,
although it seems
he's been a little loose
with the facts again.
She has him arriving
close to midnight.
- So much for his alibi.
- She mention the mother?
Seems Mai hated her
son seeing an Aussie girl.
Lucy reckons the mother
was jealous of the relationship,
that she was pushing
David to leave her.
Controlling mother,
demanding girlfriend.
Manipulation from
all quarters, right?
You like the son
for this, don't you?
Yeah, weapon, window, family
conflict, dysfunctional parents.
His father was a model citizen.
He wouldn't stick
up for his own son.
- You don't know that.
- What about the ear?
What about the
writing on the wall?
How's that fit the
extortion theory?
Has anyone ever heard
of the Tran brothers?
They're a pair a scumbags
from the Black Dragons.
They're smack dealers,
but they're inside for
shooting a Dragon in the back.
Ahn Ngo witnessed it,
gave evidence at the trial.
Some radio jock was
calling the Ngo murders
a gang-related revenge killing.
How did we miss this?
We didn't miss it.
We discounted it.
There's no evidence
of gang involvement.
All right, well, you
guys get onto it now,
but don't waste precious time.
Oh, and keep an eye on the son.
And, Crowley, have the rest of
the team on the robbery angle.
All right.
This Black Dragon
stuff is such bullshit.
Ngo is one witness.
Trans weren't even
convicted on his evidence.
- Tokarev.
- What?
It's the weapon they used.
Anyone heard of a
crim called Bazini?
Why?
It's a gang connection.
It's a long shot.
- I know Bazini.
- What kind of man is he?
In and out all his life.
Violent?
Well, he killed a bloke.
He murdered him.
That was reduced
to manslaughter.
And it was a shooting,
not a stabbing.
Tokarev. Russian,
cheap, powerful.
Known for going
off in the holster.
There's a lot of
ex-owners in Russia
walking around minus a toe.
7.62 pistol. That's
got to be rare.
Rare? Oh, yeah.
I'd say that Tokarev
is a one of a kind.
What's this?
This image is from the bullet
the doctors removed
from Baba's brain.
And this one is from a
murder in Cabramatta.
See the markings?
They're identical.
- So, what does this mean?
- I think I've found the gun.
You were always clever,
even as a little boy.
Well, don't get your hopes up.
I mean, it's a start,
but it could go nowhere.
No, no, no. I know you will find
the thief who shot your father.
- What are you doing?
- Baba. Baba! Baba!
No, you don't touch
this. This is my paper!
- I need this one for work!
- No, you take nothing!
It's Ramadan. The family
should stay together.
This is my history.
Leave it alone!
- Tony Bazini?
- Yeah, that's right.
My name is Zane Malik. I
work with the state police.
I want to talk to you about
a gun you used to own.
I'm a working man now,
doing the right thing.
Tokarev, Russian pistol.
The Tran hit.
I've told your lot
everything I know.
I had nothing to do with it.
You know what that gun was
used for before you owned it, mate?
Nothing.
- Stickups, Tony.
- No.
I know you did time
for killing a man.
Cerani, he went after
my sister, went too far.
She didn't like it.
What did you kill him with?
Tiny .22 toy gun.
Still can't believe
it killed him.
Not with the Tokarev?
I bought that later
in '97 after I got out.
It was a piece of shit, so
I sold it on to the Trans.
- The rest you know.
- Okay.
So who'd you buy it off?
Well, let's see.
My memory's not what it was.
I was in Brissie, port job.
Seafood company
had some trouble.
It was the sort of job
where self-confidence
and a positive attitude
isn't always enough
to get you through.
The union supplied it?
No. I bought it off a bloke in
a pub up on the Gold Coast.
Tough guy. Kind of wary.
Did he give you a name?
Government paying you too much.
His name is John Hunt.
Where would I find John Hunt?
I don't know, mate.
For 200, I get everything.
He's in the shower.
Well, look, I can cover
my eyes if you want me to.
I just got to talk to
him for five minutes.
What do you want
him to do this time?
What?
What happened last
time hurt him, eh?
Yeah, it was an
unfortunate accident, right?
It always is.
Sonny's a good man,
and he's suffering.
- It's affecting us all.
- What's affecting us?
Your beautiful baby.
Looks just like his mum.
You got a lead on
the Ngo business?
I need you to cover for me
for a few hours, maybe all day.
- What are you up to?
- Say you'll do it, all right?
We've always said
we were brothers.
Brothers are supposed
to trust one another.
Supposed to talk
to one another too.
I mean, what do
you want me to say?
I know it was my
mistake, and I'm sorry.
I sent him in. I
gave him the nod.
The woman come out of
nowhere. We couldn't factor that in.
That doesn't stop
me feeling like shit
at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
Would you have made
the decision to send Kilu in
had you not been doing
that acting sergeant number?
What do you think?
You think I'd put my career
in front of someone's life?
No. You wouldn't have done that.
This thing you want me to
cover you for, it sounds dodgy.
Can you at least tell
me where you're going?
Queensland.
I've got to take care of
some business up there.
All right.
I'll call you.
- What do you want?
- We need to have a chat.
- Says who?
- My name is Zane Malik.
Yeah? What's this about?
I want to talk to you
about a gun you had.
Not me. I don't carry guns.
You had a Tokarev before
you sold it to Tony Bazini.
You got me mixed up
with somebody else.
I don't think so.
During the '80s, you were
a feared man, weren't you?
Doing stickups, robbing
banks, grocery stores.
- It takes courage, doesn't it?
- You got the wrong bloke.
There's one stickup I
want to talk to you about.
Remember what you
did at Lakemba in '86?
I was overseas in the '80s.
No, I think you were here
doing stickups
with that Tokarev.
Yeah?
- Well, prove it.
- I will.
When I do, you'll
pay for what you did.
Hey, I don't like
being threatened.
Trouble goes both
ways, Mr. Zane Malik.
Forget the Black Dragons.
Their players are
either dead or in jail.
- Where's Malik?
- He's chasing down a gun angle.
I spoke to ballistics,
and apparently there's a
weapon that might link...
There's no evidence
of a weapon being used.
What are we wasting
our time on this for?
You told us to be thorough.
We've still got to do a
walk-through with David.
- I'd like to set that up.
- Sure, go ahead.
Ray, can I see you for a moment?
I.A. want to see me
again. You know that?
It's not unusual for them to
take a follow-up statement.
Oh, yeah.
They love to walk you
halfway up the plank,
then leave you there to
watch the bloody sharks.
Well, I hope this is over soon
so you can get on
with the rest of your life.
Hope?
I'd like to think you do
a bit better than hope.
Or do you know
something, do you?
They been talking to you?
They've been
talking to everyone.
What's the verdict?
Do you think I did it?
I can't discuss
this. You know that.
Yeah.
I can't come...
All right, all right.
Stop your swearing.
I'll see you there in 10.
You said you didn't
come home that night.
You said you went straight
from uni to Lucy's place.
What time was that again? I
thought it was 9:00 or 10:00.
- You sure about that?
- Maybe it was later.
I stopped off in
Chinatown first.
- Any reason?
- I wanted to think.
Something on your mind?
Mum gave me an ultimatum...
Dump Lucy, or she'd cut my
allowance, take away my car.
- Did you dump Lucy?
- No.
But your girlfriend
saw your mother
as an obstacle in
the relationship, right?
Did she tell you to kill
your mother, David?
No.
Sometimes people get
other people to do things,
things they later regret.
But that's not what
happened, is it?
You said we were here to
make a list of stolen things.
Isn't that why we're here?
David, if you can
help us, we're listening.
I do remember one thing...
Mum collected charms.
Charms? What, like gold charms?
- Yes, gold.
- Yeah?
I gave her a horseshoe
when I was a kid, for protection.
Horseshoe. Yeah, what else?
There was a cradle, a
swan, a little hammer,
a crane with a
red ruby eye on it.
My mother was laying over there.
My father was laying over there.
The look on my father's face,
that will be with me forever.
Maybe he was telling the truth.
Or maybe Crowley's right,
and it's a home
invasion gone wrong.
Let's check every
statement of every witness
of every break and
enter in Cabramatta
in the last six months, yeah?
You want to tell me what you
were doing in Queensland?
You want to get your ass
hauled out in front of I.A.
and have to speak out against me
like what's going
on with Crowley?
What are you saying? You
doing something unethical?
So far I've had to break
into someone's apartment.
I took information
off their computer,
and that's just for starters.
This is about your
father's shooting, isn't it?
Callas, I need you to
check the money trail for me.
Lim, can you talk to
the neighbors again?
I'm sorry, but if
this is extortion,
someone knew the
Ngos had gold in that safe.
- Yup.
- Thanks, guys.
Zane, hey.
You know how many dead-end
leads your father's case...
Give me a break, habibi.
Just think about
what you're doing.
See you back at
the office, yeah?
So your son purchased
heroin at Redfern Station,
subsequently overdosed,
leading to his death.
His didn't overdose.
He was sold heroin
laced with quinine.
Three days after your
son's death, Gamal Basha,
a heroin dealer who
operated in Redfern,
is found dead.
One murdering smack dealer,
one innocent kid, both dead,
yet you're only asking questions
about the smack dealer.
Am I the only one here that
thinks that's ass way around?
Detective, did you
threaten Gamal Basha's life?
- No, I did not.
- No?
What did you say
when you arrested him?
He was attempting to escape. I
was attempting to subdue him.
I told him he wasn't
gonna get away.
See, we have information
that you told Basha
you would come after him,
that this wasn't the end,
that he wouldn't escape.
What do you say to that?
I told a murdering smack dealer
that justice was gonna
catch up with him.
And what's your idea of justice?
- The law.
- Where were you on the 16th?
I walked the streets
trying to come to terms
with me son's death.
- In Redfern?
- Yes.
We have a witness who saw
a man leaving Redfern Station
after Gamal was
hit by the train.
Yeah, I heard.
Middle-aged Anglo man.
Your witness say it was me?
If there's an explanation
for your presence there,
now is the time to give it.
Oh, you'd like
that, wouldn't you?
"I went to Redfern
to confront him.
There was a fight,
and he accidentally
fell under a train."
That's what
you're after, isn't it?
Is that what happened?
No.
- May I go now?
- No.
This man may be connected
to another violent attack,
so anything you can tell us
about the guy who
hurt you will help...
What he said,
what he looked like.
He was tall, young, slim.
He had messy brown
hair, pasty skin, gray eyes.
Said he was a
roadie with a band.
Talked about how
many women he had,
but he couldn't get it up.
Was there anything that provoked
the attack, anything specific?
Oh, he was talking
weird and getting rough,
so I asked him to stop.
He gets angry, pulls a
knife, and he cuts my ear.
- He sign in to the book?
- Mick Jagger, yeah?
So you said he had
brown hair, pasty skin.
Anything else identifying him?
Oh, his eyes kind of glittered
like he was on something.
And he had tats...
Dice and a snake.
Prison tats?
Possibly.
Well, when you feel up to it,
we'll get you to come down,
flip through some photo albums.
- I'll do it now.
- Sure.
No.
No.
What am I gonna tell my kids?
Doctor said I was
lucky he didn't sever it.
You're luckier than you know.
Him.
Those eyes. That's him.
I'll do whatever you
want... I.D. parade, court.
You've done plenty.
I'll find the name
that fits the photo ID.
- Thanks.
- Could you drop me back at work?
Tell you what, Lily.
Take the night off.
- I can't take your money.
- Please take it.
Take it for your kids. Take it.
You'll go to heaven one day.
Your wife finds
out, you're in hell.
Charity.
Wives like to think
it begins at home.
Our ear lopper is
Warren Henry Johns,
released on parole
eight days ago.
What's he in for?
Malicious wounding.
Get the warrant.
Bloody toecutters
came back to me, mate.
You told them I
threatened Basha.
They had it down word for word.
I told you I'd tell
them the truth, Ray.
- I also indicated context.
- Oh, context. Thanks.
That's big of you. You
can piss that one away.
Whatever helps you
sleep at night, eh?
I sleep. Do you?
I don't really care anymore.
You can't touch me... you,
bloody I.A., the lot of you.
You can't touch me, Malik,
'cause I just don't
care anymore.
Bring Johns in.
Sharon Johns?
Who did this to you?
My brother.
Warren? Why?
He was lying on the
sofa. I told him to get a job.
And he went mental.
Yeah, I can see. What happened?
He was yelling at me...
I was against him. I
was in the conspiracy.
And then he pulled a knife.
- Where's the knife?
- I don't know.
He took off when
he saw the blood.
Is he sleeping in here?
I-I can't have him back.
He's off his face
the whole time.
What's he on?
Speed, coke, acid, crack.
You name it, he's doing it.
Ah, a replica.
Speed. Used fits.
And a lot of them.
We'll need a Taser and
an army to hold him down.
Gold charms.
Does Warren have
any old friends or family
that he might be staying with?
No. He burned them all long ago.
- Girls?
- Doubt it.
There's a guy he
met up with last week.
Asian bloke.
Someone he met at Silverwater.
Thanks.
Right, we're interested in
a guy called Warren Johns.
What can you tell us about him?
Not much. He
was in jail with me.
Describe your
relationship with him.
We shared a cell.
Right, so you got
pretty close, didn't you?
You spent a lot
of time together.
He helped protect me
from other prisoners.
We were friends.
Maybe you're more
than just friends.
We're gonna have to take
you down to the station.
Don't worry, Mom.
Is there someone who
can look after your mother?
- Your dad?
- No.
How long has your mum been sick?
Two years.
So she depends on
you for food, medicine.
You pay the bills. That's
a lot of pressure, isn't it?
You have to provide. You have
to come up with the solutions.
Yeah?
I don't mind. She
done everything...
Is that what the Ngos were?
Were they just another
solution you provided?
I want my lawyer.
You know what a
lawyer will say to you.
They'll tell you to say nothing.
But saying nothing isn't
gonna help you, Keo.
Come on, let's go.
Keo, did you tell Warren
Johns about the Ngos?
Why would I have?
We found jewelry belonging to
Mrs. Ngo at Warren Johns' house.
Can you explain
how that got there?
That's a connection, isn't it?
- I might have mentioned them.
- What might you have mentioned?
I might have told him Mrs.
Ngo didn't pay me the last job.
- How much she owe you?
- Two weeks.
- Why didn't she pay you?
- She was mean.
She find fault, and
she refuse to pay.
Whose idea was
it to rob the Ngos?
We didn't.
We just went there to pick up
the money that she owed me.
You take weapons?
- No.
- Nothing?
Warren had a stupid toy gun.
He said it would frighten them.
How did the Ngos react when
you turned up at the door?
How'd you get in?
A sliding door in the bedroom.
Did you take anything
from that room?
- Not me. Warren.
- What did he take?
A knife.
Did you kill them?
No, I didn't kill them.
Warren?
We know he's got
a history of violence.
We're concerned about you, Keo.
Your mum's sick,
and you're in trouble.
We're gonna do what
we can to help you,
but you got to help us.
I stay outside. I was lookout.
Warren, he went inside.
I heard screaming,
and there was blood,
and he have a knife.
I said, "What have
you done, Warren?"
Johns is violent and a
danger to the community
and Keo Sar's his accomplice.
In my opinion, the quickest
way of getting Johns off the street
is to use Sar as bait.
Can you guarantee
no one will get hurt?
- You know I can't.
- Surveillance are through.
The car's bugged,
tracking devices installed.
All right, we'll go ahead.
But this is costing a packet.
We can't sustain it for
more than a few days.
If Sar's paranoid he
won't go straight to Johns.
Could take longer
than a few days.
Well, that's all we've got.
After that, we pull the pin.
"He was disillusioned
with the people
and disturbed by the
injustices of society.
So Muhammad retreated
to a cave to meditate."
What's that got
to do with fasting?
Well, fasting helps
us feel the hunger
and the thirst for the poor.
Thanks, Dad. I painted it.
Oh, you're an artist?
Oh, and I've got
a letter for you too.
A letter? For me?
Who gave you this?
I don't know. A man.
Don't talk to this man. Ever.
Do you understand
me? Amir, you too.
- Why not?
- Who is he?
I'm not sure.
Children, go help
in the kitchen.
- What, a criminal?
- I don't know.
You're not sure? You don't know?
Zane, if our kids are in
danger, I want to know.
Don't ever take
your eyes off them.
Someone should be
there to pick them up
and drop them off always.
Is it something to
do with Crowley?
- No.
- Well, then, what?
Zane, what?
I don't like this. Don't
keep things from me.
Look, I've got to go out.
But we've been waiting
for you to break our fast.
I'm sorry.
Stay away from my kids.
You stay away from me.
My kids have nothing to
do with what you did in 1986.
You're not investigating me.
Who's paying you?
What do you want?
Come near my family
again, you'll find out.
Hey, guys, the TIs just
picked up Johns talking to Sar.
They're meeting south side
of the station, bit of a panic.
Let's go.
- Just get in.
- My sister's called the cops.
There's cops all over the
place. They're after me.
Just get in the car. People
are watching, Warren.
- Head north.
- Listen to me, Warren.
They're after me. We got to go.
- Listen to me.
- We've got to go north.
Listen to me. I'm
scared, Warren.
They know about the murder.
They know we were there.
What did you tell them?
I tell them nothing, Warren,
but they asking me questions.
If they ask you, you got
to tell them you are sick.
You got to tell them
I wasn't involved.
You drop me in it?
Them, the cops.
You set me up.
Police! Clear the
area! Clear the area!
- Piss off!
- Let him go, Warren.
- Let him go, Warren.
- Piss off.
We're not gonna hurt
you. Let him go! Let him go.
Let him go, Warren.
We won't hurt you.
Let him go, Warren.
Let him go, Warren.
We don't want to hurt you.
Quick, up, up! Get up! Get up!
- Drop the knife!
- I know what you want!
I've been told.
I've been warned.
Drop the knife.
I just want to...
Let go of the gun.
Drop the knife, I'll lower
the gun. How's that sound?
No, you're on a hunt. I
can see him behind you.
There's no one else.
It's just you and me.
I can see him behind
you! It's just you and me.
- You want to shut me up?
- I want to talk, mate.
- You could walk away. Walk away!
- I can't walk away.
Drop the knife, we'll
walk out of here together.
You're afraid 'cause
you should be.
I'm not afraid, mate.
Look, I'm not afraid.
Look. Look at that.
Don't want to hurt you,
but if I have to, I will.
You're not gonna
hurt me, all right?
He tells me I'm going.
Who, mate? Who
are you talking to?
The voice inside.
He tells me I'm going.
I've done too much
blood. I hurt my sister.
- He tells me I'm going.
- We can talk about it.
You're not going.
You're not going. It's not over.
It's a lie. You got
darkness in you.
Now there's guys in here
want to hurt you, mate.
I want to make
you safe, all right?
There's no such thing as safe!
Get off me!
Get off me!
Get off!
You should have
shot the mad bastard.
Warren is crazy.
Like, he was punching
him with that knife.
Five stab wounds to
Mr. Ngo, three to Mrs. Ngo.
So what were you doing
when these people were dying?
I was panic.
"Stop, Warren, stop.
Don't hurt them."
I get the guy to open the safe,
but there's no money in there.
So I prod him a bit to tell
me where the money is.
And Keo's yelling, "Kill them!"
And she screams,
and he says to kill
the bitch, kill the bitch.
He hears voices.
And I have
nothing to do with it.
Have you heard of felony murder?
If someone is killed
during an armed robbery,
even if you're just
an accomplice,
you're responsible.
Any word on the Johns case?
Okay. Thanks.
Johns won't stand
trial. He's unfit to plead.
Feel sorry for Sar.
Parole board said he was
all right, had good prospects.
Now...
You know, I found out
about that word, "kum."
It's Cambodian. It
means "revenge."
Our contestant
here is Dusan Kuric.
Dusan was a hard
worker, a good provider,
and an honorable Christian Serb.
So which army was
he involved with?
The Bosnian Serb army.
There were soldiers everywhere
calling us dirty Muslims,
hate in their eyes.
Ray, what do you know
about a crook called John Hunt?
Not much, mate. Don't
know a John Hunt.
I want to reopen
my father's case.
You must work within
the system, Malik.
Otherwise I can't help you.
Patricia, we could
be good together.
You can't deny that.
We don't feel safe
when you're out.
I think I found the
man who shot Baba.
Are you sure it's him?
I need more
evidence to be certain.
I was afraid you weren't
gonna come home,
that you might die.
I was a copper doing my job.
What are you gonna do?
You gonna run off to I.A.?
Is that what you're gonna do?
You might think it's hard when
someone tries to destroy you.
It's unbearable when they try
and destroy someone you love.
