East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 2, Episode 1 - The Lost Boy - full transcript

A suburban printer is killed in a car bomb attack. National Security sends Senior Agent Richard Skerritt to work the case. As the Major Crime team and Agent Skerritt begin to work together, each wonders if they can trust the other. When a young boy goes missing on his way home from a Muslim school, Malik knows that he must discover the truth and the boy's whereabouts, as soon as possible.

[Sirens wailing]

- How many dead?
- WRIGHT: Two so far.

The driver of the van and
someone on a pushbike.

- Seen this?
- No.

CALLAS: Rego number OJC 234.

- It may not be connected.
- No conclusions either way.



Just keep the press
contained if you can, okay?

Right, the van's registered to
this printing company back here.

- This one here?
- Yeah.

ZANE: Let's check it out.

WRIGHT: What's
that rego number, Lim?

LIM: OJC...

"John Barlow.

Cheap 'n Quick
Printing, Miranda."

Let's see what's upstairs.

See if anything
escaped the bomb.

KOA: We've got
breakfast for one here.

"Paradise of Refuge."

Something he underlined.

Maybe he knew he was gonna die.



KOA: Bingo.

I'll get someone in to open it.

ZANE: Passports.

Smith & Wesson semiautomatic.

Cash.

Visa forms.

List of names.

Any of these match
the passports?

Mohammed El-Hariry,
Omid Khatani,

Shukria Taleeb,
Husayn Abdulwahib.

None of the names on
the list match the passports.

But they're all Middle Eastern.

Some of these are Persian.

Afghani.

WRIGHT: Will you
excuse me for a moment?

I don't know who
you are, gentlemen.

- You're inside a crime scene.
- NSO.

This is a matter
of national security.

- And you are?
- Richard Skerritt.

Commissioner's
already across this.

Is he? It hasn't filtered
down to the battlefield yet.

I'm gonna have to ask you

to step outside the
crime scene, please.

- Are you in charge here?
- Yes, I am.

Who's this guy?

We'll continue this conversation

on the other side
of the crime tape.

- One of yours?
- He's one of my detectives.

He'll be running
this investigation.

Boss. PM's office.

- Yep. Two dead.
- What's going on?

No, the local
detectives are all over it.

Will do.

Do not even begin to
get territorial with me

on this one, princess.

We don't know who's behind this.

WRIGHT: I don't
care if you think

Osama bin Laden's
personally involved.

This is first and foremost
a murder investigation,

and you're contaminating
my crime scene.

SKERRITT: We want
everything you've got.

When I know what
your interest is, maybe.

But in the meantime,
we've got victims to attend to.

- Okay.
- All right.

Sure.

Come with me, Koa.

- Zane Malik.
- Richard Skerritt.

- Got anything?
- Just started.

Wait and see what crime
scene comes back with.

Nothing so far?

It'll be a while before
we've got answers.

- You keep me informed?
- Sure.

- What's going on?
- NSO. They've moved in.

What are they doing here?

We're now part of
a joint task force.

They have permission from
both the commissioner of police

and the PM's office.

Have they got
anything we can use?

I'd say they have
something we could use,

and once they've
checked out our clearances

we may even get to hear it.

Yeah, spooks.

Okay, what have we
got on the bombing?

Claymore mine under the
van. Had to be military ordnance.

Packed full of ball
bearings. Lethal.

We're just lucky more
people weren't killed.

Ballistics estimate the
bomb weighed 600 grams.

Normally claymores
are triggered by remote,

but this one was
wired into the ignition,

so it must have
happened during the night.

WRIGHT: Anything from
neighbors or witnesses?

CALLAS: No, but ballistics
say whoever planted this bomb

must have been trained.

So we're looking for someone
with a military background?

John Barlow, suburban
printer, living alone.

What have we got on him?

KOA: He was blown,
cut, and burned to bits.

Whoever did this wanted
him dead three times over.

Suspects?

We found this garuda
pendant near Barlow's body.

ZANE: He's got a
weapon in his safe.

He's obviously prepared
for some kind of threat.

That suggests criminal to me.

These "no mosque" pamphlets
sure would have pissed off

a few Mus... Middle
Eastern people.

Why has he got a
copy of the Koran

and two passports in his
safe, both with Arab names?

Anything come up on
those passports or the visas?

Nothing yet.

Perhaps our new office mates
could shed some light on this.

Oh, not at the moment.

Agent Skerritt, we need to talk.

Meantime, question the
people who ordered these.

Find out what their
relationship was with Barlow

and whether he
shared their views.

And have a look at the Muslims
behind the proposed mosque.

See if they've got any
connections to extremist groups.

Sonny.

- Mr. Smith?
- What do you want?

Detectives Koa and Malik.

Did you organize the
printing of these pamphlets?

You know, when I was a
kid, this was a quiet suburb.

Everyone knew everyone
else. No one locked their doors.

It really was. Take
a look at it now.

So you printed these in
response to the proposal

before council for a new mosque.

Absolutely, mate.

It's the cornerstone
of democracy, isn't it?

The right to voice an opinion?

They don't understand
that. They say they do.

They tell the council
they want to meet with us

to discuss our concerns.

Meanwhile there's bombs
going off in the street.

Mr. Smith, we're
still investigating

the people who may be involved.

That's the way they
operate over there.

They've been fighting over
a dust bowl for centuries.

They've not known
anything but war.

When they come to this country,

they think that's
how we do business.

ZANE: We're after
information about this bombing.

If you know anything,
it'd be very helpful.

Don't know anything.

But I knew the
bloke on the bike.

KOA: Philip Peters?

Yeah, he coached my
son in footy, you know?

I've been trying to warn people

that something like
this was gonna happen.

I don't have a problem

with Muslim people
per se, all right?

It's when they start
creating enclaves.

That's when the trouble starts.

They need to respect
the fact that they're coming

to a predominantly
Christian country,

and if you can't
accept that, don't come.

How was Mr. Barlow affiliated
with your organization?

He wasn't.

But I reckon he would be now.

All right, thanks.

Mama, why is the door open?

I don't know, habibti.
But we'll find out.

[Speaking Arabic]

Two people, including
a teenage boy,

have been taken to
hospital in a critical condition.

Police investigators are
sifting through the evidence.

A police spokesman said as yet

no one has stepped
forward to claim responsibility.

Baba?

A moment later, the
explosion rocked the suburb.

Kids, I can't find
your grandfather.

Local residents say
a proposed mosque...

[Indistinct shouting]

- Everyone!
- No!

Calm down, everyone! Calm down!

- To the car.
- Why are you taking me?

Hey, what's going on here?
Whoa, whoa. What's going on?

We're just taking these
men in for questioning.

- On what grounds?
- A bomb has gone off.

What, are you holding them
under the Anti-Terrorism Act?

He's sick. Think about
what you're doing.

I need to speak to these people,
man. Let me speak to them.

We had nothing to
do with the bombing.

- [Speaking Arabic]
- SKERRITT: In the car.

- We're not terrorists!
- Just get in the car.

I'm supposed to meet
my son outside his school.

Let me at least call my wife.

What the hell is going on?

These men are connected
to outlawed organizations.

Oh, which ones?

You've got no evidence that
this is politically motivated.

We have credible
intelligence that some of them

are linked to radical
groups overseas.

And that's it?

Two of them are suspected of
spending time in training camps

on the border of
Pakistan, and one...

And you should be
interested in this...

Had business cards
printed by the target.

What's his name?

Khoder. He's speaking to Doug.

All right, I'll talk to him.

This is a violation
of human rights.

Our mobile phones
have been confiscated.

We are not even allowed
to make one phone call!

I'll talk to this
guy, all right?

This man has to pick
up his son from school.

Get this man's details. He's
got to get a message to his son.

I'm told you had business
cards printed by this man.

No offense to you personally,

but I do not want to
talk without a solicitor.

- I'm asking for your help.
- I know nothing.

You probably know a
lot more than you think.

I need to know everything
you can tell me about this man.

Haven't we been
humiliated enough?

I left Kabul to get
away from this.

There's violence here
too. I need your help.

Anything you can tell me
will be greatly appreciated.

Please. What do
you know about him?

I am a cleaner now. I
saw the man was a printer.

I needed cards
and leaflets made.

He did it.

So you know no one who
was fighting with Barlow

over the printing
of these pamphlets?

No. We didn't know about them.

What about the group behind it?
Do you know anything about them?

A local group.

They've made their
views about us very clear.

Okay. Who's financing
the new mosque?

An independent group
of us, including myself.

Would you consider any
of them to be extremists?

No, no. For us to be linked
to this bomb is a catastrophe.

I've just been talking
to Mr. Irani's wife.

Their son, Dara, has left school

but hasn't arrived home
yet... Three hours ago.

- How old's Dara?
- 12.

Thanks. Let me take care of it.

Can we have a word?

Have you got any kids
in this dragnet of yours?

You've got to release
Massoud Irani, right?

He was supposed to pick
up his son after school.

The kid's gone missing.

That was three hours
ago, thanks to NSO.

I don't know what
your objective is,

but pulling people
out of a mosque...

Malik, before you lose
it... Malik, you listen to me.

All right?

There's something
you need to know.

The printer was one of ours.

- What?
- He was a covert operative.

How long have you
known about this?

I just found out.

CALLAS: So his name's Dara?

So who was the last
person to see Dara?

Ah, his friend Mahmoud last
saw him waiting outside the school.

CALLAS: And does Dara
stop anywhere after school?

- The shops or the skate park?
- No.

Dara always lets us know
where he is. He's never late home.

We're gonna need to talk to
his schoolteachers, friends,

anyone who might have
seen him this afternoon.

Does he use the Internet?

Yeah, yes, but the dangerous
sites are, you know, blocked.

Have you had any
arguments with Dara recently?

No.

Has he had any problems
at school, with friends?

No. No, he's happy. He's fine.

He goes to the skate
park. He plays football.

I know this is really hard.

He would have waited
outside the school for his father,

and when he didn't show up,
he would have just come home.

- Something is wrong.
- They wouldn't let me go.

They wouldn't
even let me call you.

Mr. Irani, we've put a call out
to all patrol cars in the area.

They all have a
photograph of Dara.

He's been gone for hours now.

Something terrible has
happened. I know it has.

SKERRITT: Real name
was John Angleton.

Graduated with a medal from
the University of Queensland.

Majored in foreign affairs.

He came straight
to us 12 years ago.

He was an extremely
capable, experienced agent.

I worked closely with
him for a number of years.

He was a good agent
and a very good man.

Angleton's pictured
here with a guy

that we've been
tracking for some time,

Akmal Fahd, international
trader in illegal arms,

and probably the most
dangerous man to Australia

at this present time.

Akmal is 40 years old.

He was born in Beirut
to a Russian mother

and Northern Lebanese father.

He migrated here when
he was eight years old.

He owns property in
Australia, United States,

Lebanon, Dubai, Hong Kong.

Main business is
food import-export,

but we believe this is a
front for arms trafficking

and people trafficking
and the sale of explosives.

We have strong information that
he has links to insurgent groups

all over the world.

He's fueled more conflicts in
Africa than I've had red wine.

Here he is on his way to a
secret meeting in Yemen.

The guy with him is
a global arms trader.

Coffee with Galid Musa Shafiq,
a guy we suspect of selling arms

to a Palestinian groups
in North Lebanon.

His wife, Siraya Nassif.

They have two daughters.
Both private-school girls.

He sees a rather beautiful
Russian woman from time to time.

Goes by the name of Natasha.

This is a cache of arms
that originated from our guy

and found its way to
the border of Afghanistan.

Mainly contained RPGs and AK-47s

but the haul also consisted of

shoulder-fired
antiaircraft missiles.

So this Akmal was
Angleton's main target?

He produced documents for him
as part of Operation Coaldrake,

targeting Akmal and his
terrorist links in Australia.

That explains the counterfeit
passports in the safe.

They're not counterfeit. We
accessed them, produced them.

We believe that the
men in the passports

are somehow linked to
Akmal and his terror network.

The intention was
to use the passports

to track the men's movements
throughout the world.

You're thinking Akmal
tipped to your agent?

It's a possibility.

WRIGHT: Was there any indication

that Angleton's cover
was compromised?

Where's his supervisor? He
should have been all over this.

FORD: I was his supervisor.

If I thought his cover was
compromised in any way

I would have pulled him out.

SKERRITT: Akmal left the
country for Indonesia two days ago.

ZANE: The fact that
he's left the country

indicates he might have
something to do with it.

If he got his hands
on claymore mines,

he's got links to the army.

Akmal's certainly had his
hands on this kind of stuff before.

Excuse me.

They were good friends.
He's taking it pretty hard.

Interview him as
soon as he's up to it.

We want every file that you've
got on Akmal. Everything.

Of course.

ZANE: If we're thinking
Akmal organized this hit,

why are we dragging
people out of a mosque?

Akmal never works alone, and
he never gets his hands dirty.

Plus it's an opportunity
for us to screen people

we haven't previously
had access to.

You know the old saying...
Stir the pot, scum rises.

Don't worry. We'll find Jiddo.

[Cellphone rings]

They're asking if
you'll speak with them.

It's the fastest way to
get to a lot of people,

so if someone relates to you,

they might make
an effort to help.

- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

Which one of you
would like to talk?

Or you can both say
something if you like.

- What would we say?
- You tell them about Dara.

You ask for their help.

You just speak
from the heart, okay?

You guys just have a seat.

I'll do a check on the child
sexual offense register.

Yeah, better get
the rescue squad

to start coordinating a search.

Yeah, sure.

This boat of yours, she
can take us to Kuwait.

And from Kuwait, I know my
way how to get to Baghdad.

Thank you so much for calling.

Baghdad's a tad
out of the way for us.

You get a lot of
calls out of that?

Oh, yeah. Always something.

He's brain injured.
His wife's in Iraq.

- We don't go as far as Kuwait.
- Thank you.

We didn't know
where you were, Jiddo.

Mariam has left us. We
have to bring her back.

What are you doing?

This man is about
to sell us his boat.

Baba, this boat is not for such
a long journey, and besides,

Mariam is gonna come back
when her nephew is well, remember?

That's what she's done. She's
gonna go help her nephew.

Check it out.

Some terrorists.

There's a bunch of terrorists.

AMINA: Come on,
in you get. Hurry up.

Lock the doors.

[Indistinct talking]

- Hey, come back here.
- Terrorist.

Go home!

[Indistinct shouting]

- Go back!
- Towelheads!

YASMEEN: Mum, let's go. Go!

[Indistinct shouting]

Shit!

AMIR: I'm getting out.

AMINA: No, Amir!
Stay in the car!

Baba, close the window!

Right, thanks, mate.

How are you going
with the missing kid?

SS are heading out
to help with the search.

- His father's asking for you.
- I'll give him a call.

Did you get anything
out of the army?

Seven claymores are
supposed to have been destroyed

at the Pennington base
on the 25th of June, right?

Find out who signed them out?

Yeah, he's an
officer called Barton.

- Let's talk to him.
- [Cellphone rings]

Barton was killed in a car
accident three weeks ago.

Fine, let's talk
to his associates.

Let's find out if one of these
claymores killed Angleton.

I've got our
military counterpart

sending us the
serial numbers now.

Assalamu alaikum,
habibti. How are...

- Habibti?
- [Door closes]

YASMEEN: Baba!

Did they touch you?
Did they hurt you at all?

No, no. I'm just a
bit shaken, that's all.

Amir. You all right?

Yeah, Dad, I'm fine.

WOMAN: Earlier this evening,
his parents pleaded for help.

Our son, Dara...

has been taken from us.

We don't know where he is.

We don't know if he's been hurt.

If you have any information,

anything, please come forward.

RUBY: He's just a young boy.

Please help us find him.

Please help us find Dara.

Please call the police.

WOMAN: Meanwhile,
police in Sydney's south-west

are still gathering evidence
as they investigate a bombing

that ripped through the
suburb of Miranda this morning.

Riots followed in the
beachside suburb of Cronulla.

Police were called
in to restore order

as vigilante groups...

Let's switch it off.
This fight never stop.

Give me the control.

Opposing the building
of a mosque were found...

[Click]

[Chanting in Arabic]

Why is Jiddo sad?

He misses your grandmother.

- Dad?
- Yeah?

Do you know who
did those bombings?

We don't know who.

Was it a Muslim?

We don't know.

[Continues chanting]

[Match strikes]

I, um, overheard you speaking
with your mother earlier.

Does she live in Sydney?

She and my stepfather own
a dairy farm in Toowoomba.

They can't get here till
tomorrow at the earliest.

This can't be happening.

My boy. What's happening to him?

If anything happens
to Dara, I wouldn't cope.

You need to try
and stay positive.

I know it's really hard.

When he was born,
I cried for two days.

After trying for four years,

we'd almost given up hope.

But there he was.

With his tiny little hands
and his big brown eyes.

I couldn't believe it.

Is this your first?

Yeah.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

You can't imagine
how deep it is.

The love you have for a child.

It's a blessing from God.

But it's a blessing
that also brings pain.

Because from the
moment they come to you,

your heart is in their hands.

All right, Massoud, we
have to cover every angle.

Also I'm gonna ask
you to put your shame

and embarrassment away.

I want you to be
very honest with me.

Was everything
all right with Dara?

Do you think he
could have run away?

Everything was fine.
We get along really well.

Has anyone ever
threatened you in the past?

No.

You think someone would
hurt my son to get at me

I don't know.

I'm hoping this has
got nothing to do

with the new mosque,
the bomb that went off.

The new mosque
isn't even built yet.

No, but in the current mosque,

have you come across anyone
there with extreme views?

We had some
problems a while back.

Young boys. Followers of Anwar.

You know him? Yeah, I do.

There's no room in our
mosque for these sorts of people.

When did you see
these guys last?

Six months ago.

They came, they went. I
don't even know their names.

What has this to do with Dara?

What about these guys
you were trying to track?

Could they be
responsible for the bomb?

They could be part of it.

The guys are still
in Asia somewhere,

waiting for passports.

- We're working on it.
- What about these visas?

I've never seen them before.

They're not counterfeit.
They're from government supply.

And there's over
300 names on this list.

What do we know about it?

FORD: That might be
something that just came up.

But he didn't tell me about it.

Okay.

So far we've got unexplained
visas, unexplained cash.

There's nearly a
hundred grand there.

It's pointing toward
an integrity issue.

Yeah, obviously.

- You didn't know him.
- No, I didn't.

But you're saying you
knew nothing about the visas,

nothing about the cash?

Doesn't that raise
concerns for you?

The last contact you had
with Angleton was a week ago.

Correct.

What was the nature of the
information that was given you?

He told me that Akmal had
reported a shipment of arms

that he got hold of through
a member of an OMCG.

Okay, that's something.
Bikies and military.

Where was that
headed? Did he say?

He suspected it was
for a contact overseas.

Indonesia, maybe.
He didn't know.

He didn't know
where it was stored?

Angleton told me
that he was pretty sure

that it was hidden in a
warehouse belonging to Akmal.

He gave me an address in Mascot.

- And you didn't move on this?
- No.

We want to tag it, find
out where it's going,

who's going to pick it up,
alert the country that's involved.

We want the whole
story, not one chapter.

ZANE: I've got to
organize a covert warrant,

get in there,
document the weapons.

Well, you'll have to
leave it all in place.

We cannot compromise
the bigger mission.

One day you're
gonna have to choose

between the bigger mission
and justice for Angleton.

Was there anything,
anything at all in what he said

that would indicate
he could have

crossed the line in some way?

Look, I know the money's there.

But there has got
to be another reason.

Your boy's got passion.

Too much some days.

Well, nothing great is
ever achieved without it.

Mm.

But too much of it
can be dangerous.

Depends whose hands it's in.

ZANE: You think the claymores
are in this city warehouse?

Why would Akmal keep them here?

SKERRITT: Remember,
put everything back

exactly the way we found it.

[Door closes]

[Sighs]

There's nothing here.

They must have moved it.

So, what do we know
about Angleton's wife?

She works for us.

She's an intelligence officer.
Speaks four languages.

She's bright and dedicated. Why?

Should ask her about what
we found in Angleton's safe.

She's still in shock.

It's not the time.

How much time do
you think we've got?

Tomorrow. Do it tomorrow.

How was their marriage?

They loved each
other, as far as I know.

[Woman chanting]

[Down-tempo
instrumental music plays]

He's gone.

It's just the wind.

What's the matter?

Yasmeen's fear.

Fear everywhere.

It's like the city's
on fire with it.

And the mother of that boy,

I just keep thinking
it could be me.

But it wasn't.

I keep thinking,
what would I do?

You'd keep going.

But how?

You'd know how.

ZANE: So this is the site
of the proposed mosque?

Believe these geniuses?

Never underestimate the
creativity of a moron, eh?

ZANE: Let's talk to his widow.

Richard. I've been
thinking about the eulogy.

What do you say
about a man like John?

He was kind and he
was thoughtful and brave.

He put his job before
his life, his wife.

I just don't want
it to be morbid.

Why don't you say a few
words? You knew him for so long.

Oh, there can't be a funeral.

- I have to bury my husband.
- Not at the moment.

If the target even gets a
whiff of what's going on...

- No, Richard. You can't do this.
- I'm sorry, Sophia.

Whose decision is
this, anyway? Yours?

Look, let me see what I can do.

Something small,
something discreet.

- When we have some answers.
- When will that be?

What was he working on?
Who do you think killed him?

I signed the bloody
contract too, you know?

Mrs. Angleton, I'm
Zane Malik, major crime.

I'm working with Richard
on your husband's case.

Can we sit down
inside? Is that all right?

I'm sorry. I just haven't slept.

Come in.

Did your husband
confide anything to you

that would indicate who
could have done this?

No, he was...

He would never
talk about his work.

It was always a secret.

He mentioned something
about arms trafficking,

but that was it.

What happened, Richard?

Was his cover blown,
was there a leak?

We don't know yet.

Did John ever express
concerns over the investigation

or his colleagues?

No, nothing.

He never mentioned anything

about unusual phone
calls, e-mails, nothing?

Except we were
burgled two days ago,

and I left a message,
and he never called back.

What was taken?

Cameras, computers, jewelry.

A necklace he gave
me last Christmas.

Necklace. Was it a garuda?

No.

He used to wear one.

For good luck.

Was that your husband's?

Was he wearing it
when he was killed?

ZANE: No.

Maybe he should have.

Did you notice any
change to his behavior

over the last couple of months?

Why do you ask?

We found a hundred grand
in cash in the undercover flat,

visas that couldn't
be accounted for.

No, you don't.

John was scrupulous.

He believed in what he was
doing and he was bloody good at it.

You didn't protect him,

and now you're trying to
somehow imply he was to blame?

I won't let you, Richard.

I won't let you
muddy his reputation

because you can't
find an answer.

Sophia, we're gonna
do everything we can

to find you an answer.

He was not corrupt.

That's why we're
confused. We know...

I know he was a
very ethical guy.

There must be a good
reason for what was in the safe.

Well, maybe that
reason led to his death.

If you can think of
what that might be,

don't hesitate to call.

Yeah. Okay, yeah, I
understand. Of course, Mum.

Mum says they're not coming.

Oh, I'm sorry. That
would be really hard.

Says my stepfather's too sick.

But I've got two sisters
and a brother nearby.

She's just never
accepted Massoud.

Or my change of faith.

But Dara is her grandson.

- It's okay.
- She should be here.

It's okay. Yeah?

It's okay. Come on. It's okay.

- [Cellphone rings]
- Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You've
been here all night.

I'm fine. I'm fine. It's okay.

No, no, no. Take it.

Hi, darling.

No, you just go,
sweetheart. It's cool.

Okay.

Okay, I'll see you then. Bye.

Sorry.

Your husband?

It's, um...

She's my girlfriend.

My mother would
probably stay away too.

There's Akmal's
wife and two children.

She probably has no idea
of her husband's activities.

ZANE: Or she may
choose not to know.

Anything ever happened to him,

I bet there'd be someone
there to take over.

You know, Malik,

you got cultural and language
skills that are in demand.

I know you turned down the feds,

but if you came across to us,
you could make a difference.

You offering me a job?

So someone's come
forward about the boy.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Says she saw a white
utility take off with speed

at the time and place
that Dara disappeared.

She get a rego number?
See anyone in the car?

No rego, but she said she
saw at least three people

in the front of the car.

The one in the passenger
side was a blond male.

Check out the speed cameras.
See if the vehicle comes up.

Talk to the parents.
See if that rings any bells.

No, I don't know anyone
with a ute like this.

- CALLAS: Mr. Irani?
- No. Nobody.

Okay, let's go through
everything again

with the car in mind, okay?

Has anyone with a white
utility had contact with Dara

in the last few weeks?

Think about who's
come to the door.

Couriers, salespeople,
tradies. Something like this.

Oh, we had the bathroom retiled.

- When?
- Maybe a couple of months ago.

- Yeah, I have his business card.
- RUBY: Yes!

His car was white.
A white utility.

- CALLAS: Okay.
- Yeah. This is him.

Great.

So the name's John
Michael Woodhouse.

He's 27. Offensive
conduct, March 2007.

What was it?

He was found in a
compromising position

in a public toilet
with another male.

Check out what car he owns.

I want surveillance put on
him, all his movements followed.

ZANE: Could talk to him, see
what he does when we leave.

Koa and Lim can go.
You've got enough to do.

I'll be all right.

Malik, I've only got
so many of you here.

I keep getting phone
calls from the kid's dad.

I know you feel
for them. We all do.

But there are two men
lying in that morgue.

Their families
would like answers

- about who put them there.
- The difference is they're dead.

This little kid's
still got a chance.

So, what was I doing? Why?

There's a boy missing, and a
ute like yours was seen in the area.

We know you were in the area.

So every time a kid goes
missing, you come here?

Go and check my file out

because I don't
hang out with kiddies.

What were you
doing after 2:30 p.m.?

- I knocked off from work.
- Where?

Miranda. Went to the pub,
had a beer, come home.

- Which pub?
- The Southern Arms.

- Anyone see you?
- Yeah.

What are you talking to me for?

We're talking to
everyone that can help us.

Well, like I said,
I went to the pub,

had a beer, and that's it.

You didn't stop anywhere
else on the way home?

If you remember anything...

I'm not gonna 'cause
I didn't do anything.

If you forgot to tell us
something, give us a call.

- See ya.
- I'll leave this here for you.

They've had a chat to him
about his movements yesterday

and they need to
verify a few details.

RUBY: Have they
searched the house?

No, we don't have the
power for that at the moment.

- But you're the police.
- We're monitoring the situation.

Why can't you just go in there?

Because if this man took Dara,

then he might have
him somewhere else,

in which case we'll
need to follow him.

My son could be in there!

You need to stay
calm at this point.

Who are you to tell
me how to behave?

You have no morals.
No self-respect.

- RUBY: Massoud!
- Please, go.

You're no longer
welcome in this house.

Go!

Go!

Okay. Okay.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

Malik?

Okay. All right, thanks.

Massoud's gone after Woodhouse.

If he knows that we're on him,
he'll never lead us to the boy.

We've got to stop Massoud.

[Siren wailing]

[Tires screeching]

Hey! Hey!

Massoud, no!

Stop, stop, stop!

Hey, hey! Let him go!

[Indistinct shouting]

Stop! Stop!

Are you gonna stop?
I want you to stop.

Listen to me. Stop!

He's got my son!

He's got my son!

You can't come here and do this.
You can't come and attack him.

- Dara could be in there!
- And what's this?

How's this gonna
help you find your son?

He's not here, man.

He's not here.

We're not gonna
give up, all right?

I promise you.
We'll keep looking.

We'll find him, man.
We'll keep looking.

I promise you we're not
gonna give up, all right?

Okay, can you try license
plate number N for November,

Q for Quebec, T for Tango, 887?

Yeah, sure.

So how did these people
come to know the details

of your private life anyway?

I don't know.

It just came out with
the mother, Ruby.

She must have told her husband.

Why you would choose to share

your sexual
preference with anyone,

a Muslim family in
particular, is beyond me.

A speed camera caught
an image of a white utility

at 3:30 p.m. yesterday,

three blocks away from
where Dara disappeared.

How clear's the rego number?

It's clear enough,
but it looks doctored.

I ran a check on the rego
number, nothing came up.

But then I worked out that
with some black electrical tape,

an O can become a
Q, a 6 can become an 8,

which would make it NOT 867,

which is the rego
number on a white utility

owned by William Smith.

ZANE: Where's
your ute, Mr. Smith?

SMITH: What ute?

ZANE: The white ute,
registered in your name.

WILLIAM: Why?

ZANE: It was seen driving
dangerously at 3:30 p.m.

Were you driving the ute?

- What's this about?
- Were you driving the ute?

- No, it was probably my son.
- KOA: Is that him there?

WILLIAM: Yeah,
the one in the middle.

- ZANE: What's his name?
- Tom.

Where's Tom?

He's at our shed
at Woolooware Bay.

[Siren wailing]

That's it. That's the white ute.

Fucking run!

Hey!

- Where is he?
- No one gives a shit.

If they gave a shit, they'd
send in the white cops.

You're gonna tell me
where the boy is right now.

You're gonna tell me
right now, all right?

Where's the boy?!
Where's the boy?!

- Where's Dara?!
- Eye for an eye.

Tell me where he is right now.

- Where's Dara?!
- We don't know!

You've been fighting over
a dust bowl for centuries.

Now you want to come here and
you want to take Aussie blood?!

You're a pack of killers.

Haven't killed anyone yet, mate.
I don't mind starting with you.

I'm gonna ask you
again. Where's the boy?

- We don't know!
- Shut up! Don't say nothing!

I'll ask you one more
time... Where's the boy?!

- Tom!
- Pull the trigger.

Shut up!

Where's the boy?! Where is he?!

- [Gunshot]
- You're next! Where's the boy?

- Back there!
- Shut up!

- Where is he?!
- Back there.

- Where?!
- We left him back there.

Get up. Get up.

Get up. Get up.

Is he in here? Where?

Where?

Where is he?

- He's not in here.
- What's this?

- What's this?
- What's this?

What's this?

He was hungry, so
we fed him some pork.

You think that's funny?

Sit down. Sit down.

Call it in, man.

[Dogs barking]

Dara?

Dara?

[Dogs whimpering]

You're safe now. You're safe.

We'll go back to mummy.
We'll go back to mummy.

[Woman chanting]

[Down-tempo
instrumental music plays]

What have you done?

What have you done?

Forensics have
finished with this.

Thanks.

You asked me if I'd
noticed a change in John.

If I'm honest with myself,

I knew there was
something wrong.

Okay.

In the last six months
he was drinking a lot

and not sleeping,
and when he did,

he'd have nightmares.

Did he say what the
nightmares were about?

Once he said he
dreamt he was drowning.

He was afraid of more deaths.

A few months ago,
he changed. He had...

He was just at peace.

He said he had to make a change,

he had to stand for something,
but he just wouldn't tell me.

He was a good man.

Just don't let them
take that away from him.

[Bird chirping]

Baba bought a bird.

Oh.

Ah, Baba.

It's a nightingale.

No, it's not a...
It's beautiful.

Yeah, look at that.

Ohh!

Making him strong
for a long journey.

- ZANE: Ah.
- Yeah.

[Cellphone rings]

Beautiful.

- [Knocks on glass]
- Boss.

WRIGHT: We found these.

Serial numbers belonging to
the claymores used in the blast.

Matches the serial
numbers the army gave me.

Must be one of seven.

Six of the claymores
are still missing.

We need to find them, make
a link to Akmal if we can.

There's an opportunity
to infiltrate Akmal's group

using an undercover operative.

Let me guess... A cop
with an Arab background

would be perfect for this job.

One of Akmal's
connections is a gun seller.

I'm confident that an operative

could be introduced
to Akmal through him.

But I've worked
this investigation.

WRIGHT: You haven't met Akmal
or any of his people, have you?

SKERRITT: By all accounts,
Akmal is charming, shrewd,

fiercely uncompromising.

I think you'd both get on well.

[Mid-tempo
instrumental music plays]

So...

Will you do it?

[Panting]

What are you doing here?

[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]

LIM: She's got a bullet
wound to the head.

Looks like she's been
shot and dumped.

Haven't found any I.D. yet.

That's the Chinese for you.
Shut your mouth, say nothing.

Yeah, well, my guess
is Jenny wasn't the first.

Her uni mates
aren't willing to talk.

I think they're too scared
they're gonna be next.

ZANE: I don't need
the dramas, man.

Now I find out you don't
want to do business,

you don't want to make money.

If not, let's all go home.

SKERRITT: Valentin
Scherbakov. Ex-KGB.

They met again yesterday,

and the exchange
got a little bit heated.

WRIGHT: I've got
an officer off the radar.

You know, I've just got
no time for this bullshit.

We're meant to be professionals.
We've got no Russians, no Akmal.

ZANE: In your department!

Someone's leaking
information to Akmal.

SKERRITT: Bullshit!

AMINA: Zane, our
world is upside down.

We're not safe when
you're in our house,

and I don't feel
safe when you're not.

[Gunfire]

A man is dead. When is
that ever a good result?
