East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 2, Episode 2 - A Prodigal Fear - full transcript

KOA: Claymore
mine under the van.

Had to be military ordnance.

ZANE: Where is the
evidence that this is

a politically motivated event?

I left Kabul to get
away from this.

There's violence here too.

For us to be linked to
this bomb is a catastrophe.

AMIR: Do you know who did
those bombings? Was it a Muslim?

ZANE: I don't know.

SKERRITT: John Angleton.
He was a covert operative.

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



SOPHIA: John was scrupulous.

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

It's pointing toward
an integrity issue.

Yeah, obviously.

He was a good man.

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

SKERRITT: Akmal Fahd.

International trader
in illegal arms.

WRIGHT: Six of the
claymores are still missing.

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

SKERRITT: One of Akmal's
connections is a gun seller.

I'm confident that an operative

can be introduced
to Akmal through him.

Will you do it?



[Gasps]

What are you doing here?

[Man chanting in Arabic]

[Siren wailing]

[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]

[Screaming]

[Panting]

Lady walking a dog found
the body about an hour ago.

She's got a bullet
wound to the head.

Looks like she's been
shot and dumped.

Haven't found any I.D. yet,

but we did find
these in her pocket.

Justin Timberlake.

WRIGHT: By the look of them,

she can't have been
in the water too long.

LIM: Yeah, well, the
concert was on Friday, so...

WRIGHT: Poor girl.

She can't be more than,
what, early 20s, at least?

Yeah. Find out who
bought the tickets.

You'd better get
your joggers on.

With Malik and
Koa out of the loop,

I'm gonna need
someone in charge.

- Yeah, Callas is...
- No, I'm giving it to you.

Any questions, don't hesitate.

- TARIQ: Where's Oscar?
- ZANE: Not coming.

TARIQ: What are you doing
on your own? I don't know you.

ZANE: Hang on. We
agreed to meet a week ago.

No, I agreed to meet you
with Oscar here to back you.

I'm here to do business,
man. Oscar's in lockup.

Since when?

Since three days ago.
I thought you knew.

Where do you know
Oscar from again?

I've known Oscar for years. I
met him in Hurstville lockup.

Since then we've been
doing business together.

Things are going good. I've
got interests I need to protect.

Now, Oscar swears to me
you're the man, you're 100%.

He knows I need
people I can rely on.

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.

- You supply the rounds?
- 500 a case.

I want two magazines
for each weapon, all right?

- You said 33 for the four.
- No, I said 34.

Mate, I've got 33.
That's nonnegotiable.

Fine.

Check it.

Now, next time I see you, need
to get hold of some other gear.

Stuff with a bigger bang,
do a bit more damage.

Explosives and shit? What do
you want that kind of power for?

I got dramas. Need more
than a bullet to take care of it.

You want to do business
or not? It's up to you.

I agreed on this one meeting
because I owed Oscar the favor.

Now, I know nothing about any
explosives, so not another word,

or the next time I see you

we're gonna have a
serious fucking problem.

Oh.

Good job in there.

I pushed it too far,
man. I think he's suss.

Nah. The thing about Tariq,
he's a greedy little Arab,

so if he's going
to trust anyone...

You think we chose
you for your good looks?

- Watch your back, Zane.
- Right.

Make a good terrorist,

when you think about
a guy in his position.

Could really do some damage.

You're full of shit.

Hey, sense of humor. Come on.

SKERRITT: What we do
know is that Tariq phoned Akmal

soon after Malik left.

- And said what?
- Crim code, mostly.

But Tariq did refer to a
newcomer with a shopping list,

and we assume that it's Malik.

- Did Akmal take the bait?
- To be honest, we're not sure.

Akmal's become embroiled
in some other shitfight

with these two guys here.

Dmitry Grigorovich.
Very Russian.

Visiting on a
one-month tourist visa.

Valentin Scherbakov.

Ex-KGB, midranking
colonel in the Cheka,

the FSB's secret police.

The rumor on this guy, that
he's a specialist in torture

and he rather
enjoys his handiwork.

So, what the hell do
they want with Akmal?

It's unlikely Grigorovich would
travel halfway around the world

to buy six claymores

when that kind of
military hardware

is falling off the backs of
trucks in Mother Russia.

- So the Russians are selling.
- Yeah, but we don't know what.

They met again yesterday,

and the exchange
got a little bit heated.

Seems whatever the
Russians are selling,

Akmal wanted to
slow down the deal,

citing problems with passports.

Passports found
in Angleton's safe?

That's what we think.

The two men Akmal was
trying to bring into the country,

they are somehow
connected with this deal.

We're still trying to
work out their real I.D.s.

Put him in my office.

Hey. Look at you.

You look great. All
commissioneresque.

Yeah, and you
look, ah, the same.

What are you doing here, Craig?

Well, can't I just
come and visit?

Sure. Surprise me.

I want you to look
at this as a gift, yeah?

In the form of an opportunity.

There's a boom on in
China at the moment.

Industry's booming,
tourism's booming.

There's a lot more people that
want to spend a lot of money.

Okay, get to the point,
Craig. I'm working.

The point is, I
want us to invest.

You and me, together.

It's Balinese style. Five star.

Luxury, right down
to the bed linen.

The Chinese are
desperate for it.

Well, I-I don't have money
to throw around, Craig.

I'm not talking about
throwing money around.

This is a solid
investment. 100 grand in...

I certainly don't
have that kind of cash.

Come on. It's not like you're
spending it on anything else.

And neither do you,

or you wouldn't be here
putting the squeeze on me.

Pats, this is the real deal,
something I really believe in,

something we can do together.

You and me, brother and sister.

Fine.

You put your cash on
the table, I'll match it.

My money's all tied
up at the moment

Oh, you never
disappoint me, Craig.

What is it with you? You're
not returning my calls.

I come here to tell
you about something

I'm very excited about,
something I believe in.

Well, it's just that I've
heard it all before, Craig.

This is a real chance
for a good go at it,

and you won't even listen to me.

Because it's always
the same story, Craig,

and I'm too busy to listen.

It's always about your
career, isn't it, Pats?

There's never
enough time for family.

[Knock on door]

I just got the requisition.
Might need a signature.

Thanks.

Everything okay here?

Fine. My brother
was just leaving.

CRAIG: Oh, no, you keep that.

As a souvenir for
your disappointment.

You're gonna grow up to
be a very lonely lady, Pat.

Justin Timberlake on the 18th.

Tickets bought by
Yong Mei Ching,

Dennison Street, Kensington.

She's got a flatmate
by the name of Alice.

Mei Ching liked
to be called Jenny.

LIM: Does Jenny have any family?

ALICE: In Beijing.

I can give you
their contact details.

Thanks.

Alice, we need to
look at the apartment

that you shared with
Jenny now, okay?

We'll wait outside.

Have you got a problem
with me being in charge?

Do you know what the truth is?

I feel like I'm being punished
for deciding to have a baby.

- Punished?
- Well, why you and not me, then?

Maybe because of
the Chinese thing,

because I can communicate
with the family, the community.

Right, so the next Greek
victim that comes along,

I can expect a promotion?

Well, I guess you never know.

Jenny left the apartment early
Friday morning, about 7:30.

We both had late
tutorials that day

so we agreed to meet
outside the concert.

I phoned and left messages.

LIM: How long have
you known Jenny for?

ALICE: About three months.

She'd been here about two years.

I just came.

I saw she was
advertising a room for rent.

LIM: It's an expensive
apartment for two students.

Did you guys share the rent?

Jenny's parents
bought it for her

so she can concentrate
on her master's degree.

I pay $100 a week.

The Yongs must be pretty
wealthy. What do they do?

They're both
architects in China.

They'll be heartbroken.

Alice, do you know if Jenny
was in any kind of trouble?

ALICE: She studied
hard. Everyone liked her.

She loved Australia so much.

CALLAS: Did Jenny
have a computer?

A laptop. She took it with her.

What about a boyfriend?

There was one guy.

He left after I moved in.

Eddie something.

How about you? Anyone special?

I study days, I work nights.

It's not easy being
a student here.

There's no time for boys.

Look, um, Alice, gonna
need a list of names.

Jenny's friends, tutors,
anyone you think could help us.

Okay.

Look, you'd better get
Malik back on the blower.

I just got word.

Oscar's been grilled
by one of Akmal's men.

This is not right, Mr. Skerritt.

- This is not the dentist.
- No, it's not.

The prison's got
its own dentist.

This is something
completely different, Oscar.

I don't even know
what to say, mate.

I'm so disappointed in
you. We worked it all out.

When were you gonna tell us
Akmal's men had come to see you?

He promised me
he'd look after me.

Now I can't even
get my tooth fixed.

Stop bitching about your tooth.

Let me have a look.
What is it? A root canal?

My old man used
to be a sheep farmer.

Yeah. Just pull
that with one yank.

- All right, all right. Okay.
- Come on.

So, what'd you tell him?

He wanted to know how
genuine you were, right?

I told him exactly what
we practiced, okay?

Told him you were done
for credit card frauds,

and he was really
interested in that.

Go through
everything that he said.

He wanted to know how
well you knew computers.

I said, "Of course he does.

He got done for
those credit cards."

Come on, Oscar. Don't
deviate from the story.

- He just kept asking questions.
- What we agreed on.

Mate, he wouldn't
stop asking questions.

It's all right. You just
overstepped the mark.

So I just embellished
the story a little.

I can use a word
processor. That's about it.

You better know more than that

'cause he thinks
you're really smart now.

SKERRITT: All right, what else?

Well, he wanted to know
about your background.

I told him your father
was in Iraq, right?

Got that right, didn't I?

And, um, he's making money
from all the trouble over there.

And now you've full-on
gone religious on us.

[Knock on door]

[Door opens]

Just hang in a minute.

Get him to the dentist
as soon as possible.

Jump the queue if you have to.

- You trust him?
- Yeah, he's good.

He's got a boyfriend at
Grafton maximum security.

He wants him
transferred down here.

You see, you can
always rely on true love

to provide the groundwork
for a few solid lines.

Confucius.

[Speaking Chinese]

Jenny Mei Ching's boyfriend?

Do you guys speak English?

[Speaking Chinese]

How'd you go?

Oh, well, all I got
is the ex-boyfriend

worked somewhere in Randwick.

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

Well, it's bloody frustrating.

So much for access
to the community.

They're just scared
that whoever killed Jenny

might come after them.

Well, unless someone speaks
up, nothing's gonna change.

Be patient.

This is just the
business process.

It has to be done.

Relax. Sit down.

Let's start with who you are.

You know who I am.

From your own mouth
would be reassuring.

Ali Rafik. My name is Ali Rafik.

What do you want with
guns and explosives?

That's my business.

If I sell anything, I need
to know where it's headed.

I'm in the pest
extermination business.

I've got a pest problem.

Hey. Hey.

They're for my
neighbor's kid, man.

What are we wasting
time with this shit for, eh?

Why?

Just...

It's a big step from
computers to explosives.

What, are you planning
on fighting an entire war?

Are the Israelis coming
to take your house?

I've found new things
worth fighting for.

What do you know about
this printer that got blown up?

It was a reasonable job.

You could do better?

I'm working on
putting explosives

inside a computer screen.

You see what that
could do to someone?

It's triggered by the enter key.

Maybe we can
help each other out.

I'll consider it.

- Sonny.
- Hey.

- Where's Skerritt?
- In the toilet.

Hey.

Hey. You've got a leak.

- That's why God made urinals.
- In your department!

Someone's leaking
information to Akmal.

That's bullshit!

He found me! Him
and his two men.

- That's bullshit!
- They know my movements!

Who have you told? Who knows?!

Guys in my own department.

Guys who I trust
with my own life

on a need-to-know basis.

Something's going on.
They found the apartment.

- You could have got followed.
- Bullshit!

Akmal hasn't escaped conviction
because he's stupid. He's smart.

He was gonna confront
you when you least expect it.

What's going on in here?!

Why don't you invite
the entire squad in here?

You can all watch
me take a piss.

WRIGHT: We'll shut
down the operation.

Hey, well, that's a mistake.

What, do you think
Malik would even be alive

if Akmal so much as suspected?

He's too smart to kill a cop.

He'd have killed Malik,
disposed of the body,

had the van crushed down
to the size of a shoebox

before you've had
your morning shit.

Think about this.

Akmal's on the hook,

and you're our only link
to the truth about Angleton

and the missing claymores.

Imagine the carnage one of
those babies causes at rush hour,

if it goes off on a
bus, train, or ferry.

Yeah, okay. We don't need
the color pictures, thanks.

All right, the safety of
my officers is paramount.

Zane, it's your call.

[Cellphone rings]

Yes?

No, I haven't written a
check in over a month. Why?

Yep. Sure. Can you
just give me a minute?

So when were they presented?

What, all three?

No, no, I'm glad you did.

Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Amina, you seen
my phone charger?

It's in the middle
drawer of the sideboard.

What do you leave it there for?

- Can you stay for dinner?
- I shouldn't be here at all.

Yeah, I know, it's too dangerous
for you to be in your own home.

- Not for me, for you.
- And yet you accept this job.

They're only using you
'cause you're Arabic.

Maybe.

Your children are told at
school that they're not Australian.

We're spat on, accused of being
terrorists, planting a car bomb.

That's the whole point
of doing this, isn't it?

Find out whoever's
responsible for this bombing,

prove that they're
not representative

of the Muslim community.

Yeah, I know.
I'm just frightened.

You know I don't like it
when I can't contact you.

What if Baba runs off
or wanders off again?

You call the office.
You know that.

- And if they can't find you?
- [Screams]

Amir, don't chase
your sister in the house.

How many times I got to
tell ya? Go outside and play.

It's not fair that our children
should be caught up in this.

I'll spend a weekend
with them, I promise.

- All right?
- 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.

Mr. and Mrs. Yong, had
Jenny been in touch with you

about any kind of trouble?

[Speaking Chinese]

[Speaking Chinese]

[Speaking Chinese]

Look...

It's difficult for us to imagine

the grief you're
experiencing right now,

but if you want us
to find the person

who killed your daughter,
you have to help us.

Mr. and Mrs. Yong, you have
to speak up about this now,

or you're gonna be burdened
by it for the rest of your life.

And I understand guilt,
unlike grief, never goes away.

They demanded $500,000.

They told us where in
Beijing to leave the money

and said if we contacted
the police, they would k... kill...

Do you have any
idea who they are?

How did they contact you?

We got a phone call.

A man gave me the
password to an e-mail account.

He said I should check it.

When I logged on, I saw
there was mail from Mei Ching.

When I opened it, they
were demanding money.

MR. YONG: [Speaking Chinese]

My husband was late paying
the ransom by three hours.

It isn't easy to raise

such a large amount
of U.S. dollars in Beijing.

You are right.

Guilt is lifelong.

LIM: Mrs. Yong, mothers and
daughters are often very close.

Did Mei Ching ever
talk about a boyfriend?

WRIGHT: So whoever did this
grabs a rich overseas student

and extorts money
from their parents.

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.

What about these e-mails?
Can't we trace the IP address?

That's not gonna help.

The kidnappers have
used Jenny's laptop

and Jenny's e-mail account.

It's all gonna lead back to her.

Somebody knew
her parents were rich,

which means they did their
homework or they knew Jenny.

Okay, according
to Jenny's mother,

the ex-boyfriend is Eddie Shen.

One of his tutors says he
works at a favorite yum cha haunt,

and she's faxing over
the student I.D. now.

Okay. How's she holding up?

- She's fine.
- Is she?

Yeah, she's fine.

[Horns honking]

EDDIE: What did they do to her?

The pathologist hasn't
confirmed a cause of death.

Why would anybody
want to hurt her?

We understand that
you and Jenny broke up

about two months ago, Eddie.

Yeah, her parents
didn't approve.

They wanted to cut
back her allowance.

Her breaking up with you,
how did that make you feel?

No, you have it all wrong.
She wanted us to stay together.

She didn't care about
what her parents thought,

even though her parents
threatened to sell her apartment

and take her back to China.

She said she'd get a new job,

and, you know, even live
here illegally if she had to.

So, then, why did
you guys break up?

She's from a rich family.

She has no idea how the average
overseas student survives here.

Every day you're trying to
hold down two or three jobs,

studying during the
day, at nighttime...

Is that what you're
doing, Eddie?

I was born here in Australia.

I have a huge HECS bill to pay,

but I know heaps
of Asian students.

She would never have
survived, and in the end,

she would have had to give
away her degree, and what for?

So I had to end it.

[Speaking Chinese]

- Back to work!
- [Speaking Chinese]

Let's go.

Craig, we can either
talk about this and solve it

or let it divide us.

So, um, just give me a call
when you get this message, okay?

I mean it, Craig. Just call me.

Bye.

We've I.D.'d the man who
was supposed to receive

the passports from
Angleton's safe.

Real name... Rachmad.
Indonesian national.

First class honors in
chemical engineering

from Sydney University no less.

Now he's a first-class fanatic.

Likes to blow things up
and quite good at it, I'm told.

Last seen in the Philippines.

This guy here,
he's more intriguing.

Rasheed Pawani.
Pakistani national.

Specialist in IT and computers

and spent time in training
camps in Afghanistan.

Well, an explosives
man and an I.T. expert.

That's a worrying combination

when mixed with the
missing claymores.

- That's good work. Thank you.
- Thanks.

Is it good enough to buy me
a beer and a plate of Chinese?

Well, I'd probably say yes if I
didn't have a prior engagement.

Who's the lucky guy?

Monthly night out with the
girls. I'd ask you along, but...

Bunch of girls, once a
month. It's a scary thought.

Yeah, we're a scary lot.

Are you okay?

See what you can find out
about this company, will you?

- Any particular reason?
- Plenty.

All of them private.

[Siren wailing]

[Down-tempo
instrumental music plays]

AKMAL: According to Oscar,
you can tell the difference

between a Pentium
chip and a potato chip.

I'm buying some computer
chips off some Russians.

I need to know I'm
getting what I pay for.

Why don't you get your monkey
to give them the plastic bag test?

How do we even know
we can trust this sharmuta?

Where's your family from?

- Basra.
- Basra.

Terrible trouble there.

Lebanon's the same.
You have relatives there?

Yeah, my uncle and his wife
were recently killed in a bomb blast.

His son wants to
join me out here,

but, you know, it's difficult.

Well, sometimes
it's only a matter

of having the right connections.

I can help you out.

The computer chips
is only a test run.

If the deal is a success,
then the Russians can provide

other military ordnance.

Mm?

The chips were stolen from
a military base in Afghanistan.

Something to do with
weapons targeting hardware.

That's all the
Americans would tell us.

It's all academic until I
can tell if the chips are legit.

- We're working on it.
- Work harder.

I've got no idea when
this deal's going down.

Was your dad really
a sheep farmer?

He was a watchmaker.

Spent his entire adult life

watching little cogs
go 'round and 'round.

It's where I
inherited meticulous.

[Sighs]

- LIM: Hey, you okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, just a bit queasy.

Thought that only happened
in the first three months.

Yep, so did I. What's up?

The autopsy report's in.

Looks like Jenny was killed
by a small-caliber weapon.

.22 most likely, but the
bullet's too fragmented

for us to get anything from it.

Bruising around the
head suggests the weapon

was pushed up hard
against her temple.

- Cold-blooded execution.
- Is that it?

Jenny was pregnant.

- 14 weeks.
- [Sighs]

Callas, do you want
to sit this one out?

Ah, no. I think it's time
to chat to Eddie again.

[Door opens]

On the move, Eddie?

Just cleaning out. Why?

You knew Jenny was pregnant,
and you chose not to tell us.

The baby yours?

She wanted us to get
back together as a family.

Is that the real
reason you broke up?

Jenny being pregnant?
All a bit inconvenient?

Maybe that even
tipped you over the edge

and you saw a chance to
pay off that huge HECS debt.

- You think I killed Jenny?
- Convince me otherwise.

We broke up for the same
reasons I told you before.

I think you can do
a bit better than that.

Jenny really loved it here.

I began to think she loved it
even more than she loved me.

Now, I'm a citizen, she's
an overseas student.

I'm sure you've
heard of the stories

of people trying desperately
to become a citizen here.

She just really loved
the lifestyle here.

LIM: Who's, um...
Who's the guy with Alice?

That's Ben, her boyfriend.

She said she didn't
have a boyfriend.

They're still together
as far as I know.

Jenny even knew
our baby was a boy.

The Chinese "one child" policy

makes a male
child more valuable.

You know, carries on
the family name and stuff.

Well, it definitely sounds like
she got pregnant deliberately.

Maybe.

So, what are you guys
gonna do if you have a boy?

What do you mean?

You know, I mean,
two mothers, no father.

It's not really good
for a boy, right?

There's no role model.

Ah, just so you
know, it is a boy.

And Melita and I don't
reckon that that's an issue.

- [Engine starts]
- Okay. Cool.

[Tires screech]

You have to convince
Akmal you're computer literate.

In the meantime,
what you're looking for

are the serial numbers.

It's a list.

The serial numbers from the
stolen chips from Afghanistan.

Where'd this come from?

Let's just say the Yanks are
keen to get their gear back.

So if any of these numbers
are on the chips Akmal's buying...

They're the genuine article.

You cannot let
Akmal see this list.

He sees this list, he's gonna
guess where it came from.

Okay.

You sure you're up for this?

You've got Amina and
the kids to think about.

It's a big gamble, Zane.

Don't you ever get bored
with being the voice of reason?

Why did you lie to us?

- I didn't know why...
- LIM: Callas.

Where's the blood from, Alice?

CALLAS: I'm sick of
this silence bullshit.

This is Australia. When
we ask you a question...

Leave her alone. It's got
nothing to do with Alice.

Okay, one of you needs to
explain what's going on now.

I was leaving work,
taking a shortcut home.

- Some guys jumped me.
- We need to get you to a doctor.

Did you recognize
any of these men?

BEN: No. It was too dark.

Ben, you're at
university too, right?

Yes.

So is someone trying
to threaten you or Alice?

Trying to extort money
from your families?

They'd be wasting
their time if they did.

My family is poor.

We can protect you
if you help us, Ben.

BEN: Protect me against
what? Three guys doing me over.

If you want to help, find
my wallet, my money.

Alice?

Did Jenny tell you she
was three months pregnant?

Boss, I just got
a text from Malik.

He and Akmal are going
to meet the Russians.

Have we got a location?

Yeah, it's a
brickworks in Zetland.

- There's an old factory here.
- Have we got ears, eyes?

No, they grabbed
him off the street.

So no wire.

No, but we've got
a vantage point.

Okay, go, go, go.

Not that one.

One from the back of the box.

This is not a good way to start
a new business relationship.

First, he shows the money.

All right?

Okay, here we go.
Moment of truth.

SCHERBAKOV: Vodka's
getting warm, you know?

It's time to drink to
new partnerships.

- We've got a problem, man.
- What do you mean?

These aren't
legitimate. They're fake.

- Let's get out of here.
- Let's get back in the car then.

[Gunfire]

[Indistinct shouting]

Go! Get in the car!

Drive!

Go! Go!

KOA: Shots been fired. Do
not approach Akmal's vehicle.

SKERRITT: Bring
automatic weapons.

Registration...

Aagh!

They will not live to
see their families! Go!

[Speaking Arabic]

You understand?

You tell Melbourne I
want the Russians to know

that I count my friends by
the measure of their honor,

and a man without
honor is a dead man.

Apologize to your
wife and children for me

for dragging you out
of your home like this.

Drink this hot tea.

Tomorrow I want you
to come to my home.

You will meet my family,
and then we will talk business.

I swapped the cars
over. I got rid of the gun.

- Anything else?
- Yeah. Take Ali home.

I won't be needing you tomorrow.

Why don't we have
GPS in Akmal's vehicle?

The car must have thrown
the bug during the shitfight.

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

Great. No wonder we're
winning the war on terror.

WRIGHT: Look, that's enough.

Our number one
priority is to locate Malik,

make sure he's okay, right?

He needs us to stay focused.

KOA: He's not at the flat.
He hasn't called Amina.

Great, now his
wife's gonna worry.

I don't see you pulling
miracles out of your ass.

I said that's enough!
You get word to uniform.

Find Malik, and then
no one approaches him

without my direct
authority, understood?

Yeah, gotcha.

Sonny, relax, will you,
mate? No, I'm all right.

Yeah, because I know
how you worry, man.

You're like my wife.
You're worse than my wife.

[Chuckles]

Tell the boss I'm all right.

No, I'll call you soon, okay?

Right, bye.

Hey, Dad, it's me. Have
you heard from Craig yet?

Yeah, well, miracles do happen.

Well, so if you do, look...

Well, if you do,
just tell him that...

Just tell him I
called, okay? Bye.

- Ah, is this a good time?
- Not really, no.

It's just that you've put Lim
in charge of the Yong case.

That's fine. You
obviously think she's ready.

That's fine too.

I'd like to think you wouldn't
hold me back because of

the pregnancy, but I'm
picking up on this vibe thing.

- Vibe thing?
- Yeah. Look, I don't know.

You've chosen a
particular career path.

Maybe seeing
me do it differently,

maybe it's bringing
up some issues.

Callas, I've just had an
operation go pear shaped,

I've got an officer off
the radar, and I've got...

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

Your life choices are of no
interest to me whatsoever.

What am I concerned about

is where you're up
to in the Yong case.

Okay, the tutor says
that the boyfriend

dropped out of university
three months ago.

He couldn't afford to pay fees.

So he lied about
being a student?

And Alice lied about
having a boyfriend,

so they're both
involved somehow.

Good work.

All right. Get a search warrant.

Go and pick up Ben
Chan and his girlfriend.

- Tonight?
- Yes. Or are you too tired?

Good night.

Show me.

I'm all right.

Can you imagine how
your children would feel

if something bad
were to happen to you?

[Slow instrumental music plays]

[Man chanting in Arabic]

You must really love Alice
to be staying in this country

with your kinds of
financial problems.

Your Visa statement.
That's real debt, Ben.

Lots of cash withdrawals
from the casino.

And you had a lot of losses
on your TAB account too.

Looks to me like
you've gambled away

your entire university
fees and then some.

Is that why you were beaten up?
'Cause you owe somebody money?

I told you. I was robbed.

We found your
wallet in your flat, Ben.

It wasn't stolen, was it?

And I'm guessing
that we're gonna find

Jenny's laptop in a pawn shop
somewhere, and when we do,

it's gonna have your
fingerprints all over it...

Yours and Alice's

from when you wrote those
ransom e-mails together.

No. Alice had
nothing to do with it.

She's a good and decent person.

So is that where you got the
Yong family's details from?

From Alice?

She told you that
Jenny's family was rich.

CALLAS: You gave Ben
the family's details, didn't you?

How to contact them?

I didn't know why
he wanted them.

You love Ben, don't you?

Mm.

You knew he'd be
deported if he was caught.

Mm?

And you ached so badly
for him to stay in Australia

that you didn't
want to know why.

It wasn't like that.

You wanted him to make
the money, pay off his debts,

become a student again,

and stay here in
Australia with you.

[Voice breaking] I
would never hurt Jenny.

She was like family.

Which is why you were so upset

when you found out
that she was pregnant.

Because you knew,
deep down in your heart,

you knew what
Ben had done to her.

Losing a sister is one thing,

but to kill a
mother and a child.

LIM: You kidnapped Jenny
and something went wrong.

What was it?

What, she wasn't
Chinese enough for you,

too Australian,

so she wouldn't follow
the rule of silence?

She threatened
to go to the police,

so when you got the
money, you shot her.

I didn't do it.

Look, Ben, the courts are
gonna see things our way, okay?

Circumstantial
evidence does stand up

as long as there's enough of it.

You and Alice are
gonna go away to jail

for a very long time.

He said if I didn't repay
the money I owe him,

he would kill me.

- So you helped him kidnap Jenny.
- No.

I sold him Jenny's details.

He said he wouldn't hurt her.

If I'd known that,
I would never...

I...

We're gonna need a name, Ben.

CHAN: He said if I talk to
police, he would hurt my family.

Your brother's mixed
up with some bad people.

Xiang Xun Developments.

Prides itself

on deliver-on-deadline
building projects

but not so quick
to put its hand up

when one of its
apartment blocks collapses

and kills 38 residents.

They're cost cutters, gangsters,
registered out of Macau.

Principal's name is Emile Wong.

Not the kind of guy I'd want
my family getting into bed with.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

[Door opens]

LIM: He's given us a name.

It's Kenneth Lo. Rising
hotshot in Chinatown.

Good. Is he prepared
to stand up in court?

He says so.

Make sure he's treated decently.
Get him some tea or something.

Okay.

You and I are going for a drink.

So your father was a cop?

He was a good cop. Lousy father.

That might explain why
his son's off the rails.

And why his daughter's
got such a lousy track record

when it comes to relationships.

- Oh, you too?
- I'm hopeless.

- I've given up.
- [Laughs]

Well, cheers, then.

To the relinquishing
of all hope.

Callas, stay here.

I'm pregnant, not an invalid.

Look, I'm ordering you to wait.

CALLAS: Oh!

- [Groans]
- Come on. Up you go.

- It's okay.
- Oh, shit.

[Chuckling] Nice
tackle. You okay?

- Yep.
- Yeah?

Let's get back to the car.

Look, listen.

Nobody at work gives a shit
about your pregnancy, okay?

But you should.

And you and Melita have
been through way too much

to have this baby
to put him in danger.

Yep. Okay.

Come on.

Okay, yep.

Kenneth Lo, you're under arrest
for the murder of Jenny Yong.

I'm glad you came.
Come meet my family.

- How's the shoulder?
- It's all right, yeah.

- [Cellphone rings]
- It's nothing.

Sorry.

- Hello?
- Annie. Come here.

TARIQ: Who lives at
67 Carrington Road?

Mummy home?

Yeah, she's inside.

I want you to meet
my princesses.

This is my number-one
princess, Basina.

And this is my other
princess, Annie.

I have a wealth of
princesses, but no prince.

I spoil them too much,
but what can I do?

We would unleash the
devil himself to protect them.

I need to make a phone call.

Please, make your call,
and then you meet my guests.

- Quickly.
- Okay. Go on and play.

- [Cellphone rings]
- Yeah?

Sonny, drop everything and
get to my house right now.

- Why, what's wrong?
- I don't know. There's trouble.

- Just go, go.
- Right.

I might actually
have to get going.

You can spare half an hour.

These men can help get
your nephew back from Basra.

There's nothing more
important than family.

- Ali Rafik, my colleagues.
- Assalamu alaikum.

This is Thomas.

This is Mahmoud, Antonio,
Andrew, and this is Edward.

Hi.

And please meet my
good friend Amin Khoder.

I think we may have met before.

Oh, that's possible.

At the Zetland mosque.

[Door opens, closes]

Nice rabbit.

Don't move.

Our mosque is committed
to helping refugees.

Khoder lost his family.

Not he's committed
to helping others.

There's no greater pain.

Hey, I said don't move!

Hey, hey, don't move!
Don't move! Don't move!

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

TARIQ: Princess, I need
to speak to your father.

Yep, sure. One moment.

AKMAL: He thinks
my money is unclean.

Ali, you tell him. Am
I a dishonest man?

No, he's very honest.

[Tires screeching]

- Here, Daddy, it's for you.
- ZANE: I need to get going.

Just wait. We must
have some coffee.

KOA: Police!

We've got a warrant to search
these premises for weapons!

Don't move! Police!

He's going!

He's gone! He's
going out the front!

Move!

Hello?

Tariq?

[Tires screeching]

[Sirens wailing]

Everything all right?

[Ringing]

[Disconnect tone sounds]

I'd better get going.

- I'll call you.
- Okay.

[Sirens wailing]

Habibti?!

Baba!

I'm sorry.

Baba.

RAHMAN: Scary. Scary.

Seems Melbourne turned
up a couple of comrades.

KOA: Akmal's had
the two Russians killed.

Cheer up, sunshine.

He ran a stop
sign. End of story.

You did good.

Can't have police
pursuit killing people!

Sometimes Lady Luck
makes up for her mistakes.

It's a good result, Pat.

Well, a man is dead. When
is that ever a good result?

Could have been Malik as
opposed to some arms dealer.

It's a good result.

Well, you must have sunk
really low for it to come to this.

Stealing from your
own flesh and blood.

- I didn't steal from you.
- You forged checks, Craig.

So arrest me. Go
on, you're the cop.

- Arrest me.
- Is that all you see me as?

- A cop?
- It's all you've ever been, Pat.

It's always been
about the job, never us.

Families are supposed
to stick together,

be there when you need them.

"Family" is a word of
convenience to you, Craig.

It is something you
pull out and dust off

whenever you're in trouble.

You know what? No more.

What's this?

Distance money.

If you take this check,
don't ever come back.

I'll pay it back, I promise.

I don't want you to
pay it back, Craig.

I want you to choose.

You either stay here
and be a real brother,

or you take this check and leave

and I will no longer
be your sister.

Please don't make
me choose, Pat.

[Slow instrumental music plays]

[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]

There was a man in our
house, Zane. I'm entitled to ask.

Habibti, I got
to finish this job.

Do you know what it's
like to watch your child die?

[Child moans]

ZANE: First priority's
always to the case.

Mine's to my family.

Next is to work with
people I can trust.

Yeah, if we lose
these explosives,

we'll have no way
of finding them.

A young woman's just been
brutally stabbed to death.

KOA: The passports belong

to Natasha Kadyrova
and Aneta Alexandrov

and several other women
who worked at Caruso's brothel.

LIM: See, Akmal Fahd knows you,

and, well, he wants
to see you dead.

These people,
they don't negotiate.

Let go of me!
