East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 2, Episode 5 - Men of Conscience - full transcript

Your brother's mixed
up with some bad people.

Xiang Xun Developments.
Principal's name is Emile Wong.

He was always a problem
kid. Bastard of a teenager.

Oh, and you don't think you
had anything to do with that?!

I treated Craig exactly
the same way I treated you,

and you turned out
all right, didn't you?

No going outside.

No contact with the
outside world whatsoever.

Oh, this is gonna be a blast.

John Barlow was NSO?

Look, don't act so
bloody surprised.



He was running a
people-smuggling operation.

He was bringing
in illegal immigrants

via boat from Indonesia.

Skerritt thinks my
husband was corrupt.

Sophia...

If he was selling I.D., I
haven't seen a cent of it.

I've gone through
all his bank records.

I mean, where's the money?

I know who stole the claymore.

I want a deal.

No, no. No deals.

All right, you come
here tomorrow.

We'll talk business then.

And death would
have been in minutes.



Potassium cyanide, ingested
with his evening meal.

Mixes with his stomach acid
to produce hydrocyanic acid.

How much poison would
you need to kill him?

With potassium cyanide?

A teaspoon, no more.

Man, I never did
it, okay? I swear.

Okay? I helped you guys out.

You're supposed to protect me,
and now you accuse me of murder.

Because you're in the same pod.

You know how many people
wanted to take Akmal out in jail?

But you're the only
one with access to do it.

The only one with the
access to poison him.

Mr. Skerritt, I've
helped you out before.

Why do you treat
me like this for?

Oscar, if you
didn't poison Akmal,

the chances are you know
who did or you could find out.

You know I'll look
after you, yeah?

Mr. Skerritt, we're
friends, yeah?

You ever heard the
name Arif Muchtar?

Did Akmal ever mention
the name Arif Muchtar?

- No, never.
- Never heard him?

Angleton wasn't
Akmal's only victim

He had other enemies.

Obviously one of
them got ingenious.

What if Akmal
didn't kill Angleton?

- You want to explain that one?
- Akmal already told me.

Arif Muchtar purchased
those claymores.

He had valuable
information on the guy.

What, you think Arif
Muchtar killed Akmal?

Akmal was poisoned because
of what he was gonna tell me.

Yeah, what's the basis of this?

A hunch, or you got
something more, like evidence?

He also said someone had
stolen one of those claymores.

Paid for seven,
ended up with six.

Who stole it?

I don't know. He
was gonna tell me.

Come on, Malik.

Akmal was chasing a
deal on his sentence,

playing you like a
big bloody dumb fish.

Akmal was selling arms.
He killed, and now he's dead.

It's not my idea of justice,

but we have to accept,
however inconclusive,

that the Angleton case is closed

and Akmal's murder is
not ours to worry about.

Wright speaking. Yeah,
what have you got?

I told you from the beginning

what this guy was like.

He's clever, he's
shrewd. You got too close.

He got under your skin,

and he warped your whole
way of approaching this brief.

And now he's dead, what, are
you trying to prove he's innocent?

I don't have to
prove he was guilty.

I'm just after the truth.

Hurry up, Khadija.
You'll be late for school.

- Coming, coming.
- Come on.

I'll get it, I'll get it.

No, you don't.

Here, put something in
your water bottle, quickly.

Aah!

Mummy?

Mummy?

Mummy?

What have you got?

Victim was 32-year-old
Emma Miller,

married to Zacchariah Noor.

She answered the doorbell,
got a crossbow through the chest.

They always like
to keep us guessing.

Looks like the killer
shot at close range,

a couple meters, max.

So he's walked up, knocked,
shot her through the screen door.

- Fingerprints?
- Yeah, plenty.

But whether they're the
killer's or not's another matter.

- Who found her?
- Seven-year-old daughter.

That's her, Khadija, with
her father, Zacchariah.

She called the father.

Didn't see anyone, but of course
she may still be traumatized

or protecting someone.

Callas and Kane are over
there doing the canvass,

but so far nothing yet.

Crossbow's a silent
weapon but not invisible.

Someone must
have seen something.

Let's talk to the father.

Zacchariah Noor?

I'm Detective Malik.
This is Detective Wright.

Hello.

Hello, Khadija.

- Zac.
- Zac, I'm sorry, man.

Khadija, come with me.

It's okay. You can go
with the policewoman.

It's all right, sweetheart.
You hold my hand.

So, what happened here, mate?

I was at the garage.
Khadija rang.

She was crying.

She said her mother had fallen.

I drove straight back home,
and I saw Emma lying there.

She's...

I rang the police.

Can you think of anyone
who'd want to hurt your wife?

- No threats?
- Not that I know of.

Things between you and
Emma, how were they?

She would have told you if
she was frightened or upset?

I don't know. Maybe not.

We, uh, split up on the weekend.

Okay.

How'd he get the booze?

He nicked off to the pub
when I was making lunch.

Bloody hell, Dad. Anyone
could have seen him.

I haven't got eyes in the
back of me head, you know?

I don't know why you've
still got this old cage.

You could have planted a tree
or built a shed or something.

Stopped seeing it.

God, Dad, you've just stagnated.

I don't know why you
even built the thing.

- I built it for your mother.
- Mum hated the birds.

- No, she didn't.
- No, she hated them caged up.

So on the day she
died, she let them go.

- She made a mistake.
- Craig!

Couldn't survive in the wild.

Craig!

- What happened to all the birds?
- You know what happened.

I thought you might have
got some more finches.

I didn't get any
more after your...

Just open the door, will you?

What's with the spade, Pats?
Trying to bury me or something?

No, I was just trying
to get you out, Craig.

You could have just
knocked. Would have let you in.

Get inside.

- How's your day?
- Fine.

Yeah? Put any crooks
away? Catch any bad guys?

Change of identity,
passport, driver's license.

It's all pretty straightforward.

How'd you go with your
friend in Wellington?

- Good.
- What friend in Wellington?

Ex-copper. You'll
like him. Drink that.

You're sending me
to New Zealand?

Just while we
sort this out, yes.

- What about Eleni?
- What about Eleni?

Well, I want to say goodbye.

It's good manners, isn't it? It's
what you and Mum taught me.

Mind your P's and Q's.

It's probably best that
you don't contact anyone.

So I'll call Eleni. I'll say
your goodbyes for you.

Oh, you got it all
sorted out, haven't you?

What's my name gonna
be? Do I get to choose it?

- Smith.
- Oh, fantastic.

Not one person in this
family has the same name.

It's like we're
not even related.

What's my first name? Reuben?

You know, I'm quite
fond of Salvador.

How about Eugene? Archibald?

- What about Obama?
- Why don't you just shut up?!

There's blokes out
there that want to kill you.

Do you understand?
They want to kill you!

It's Peter.

Peter. Good
choice. The rock, eh?

Peter Smith. It was the first
name that popped into my head.

No, no, no, it's
good. I like it. It fits.

It's the new me.

Hey, Dad.

Put the gun down, Craig.

Craig.

It's not loaded.

It's loaded, Craig. Jesus!

Oh, chill out.

- I've got to get back to work.
- You work too hard, you know?

You've got to find a
balance in life, you know?

Life, work. Work, life.

And you'd know?

So when was the last time
you saw your wife, Emma?

Saturday morning.

I took some things
to the garage.

Blankets, pillows.

There's a room there
where I can sleep.

- Why'd you leave?
- We were having problems.

- What sort of problems?
- Money.

What we did on the weekends.

The kind of school
Khadija should attend.

It wasn't just one thing.

Had you talked about
custody over Khadija?

We both wanted
Khadija to be happy.

We said we'd
work out the details.

We were happy for nine years.

But then Emma found
married life too hard.

She wanted the honeymoon
back. She wanted to be admired.

Do you think she was
involved with someone else?

She said not. I wasn't sure.

Where's Khadija?

She's with a
police psychologist.

Mr. Noor, did you
ever use a crossbow

or ever own a crossbow?

You think I killed my wife?

- Did you?
- No.

I want to see my daughter.
She shouldn't be by herself.

That will depend on DOCS.

The psychologist is talking
her through everything.

How is that meant to help?

She saw her own mother
killed in front of her.

Her life has changed forever.

Right now my daughter
needs me. I want to see her.

- This is a bad time.
- A man rang for John.

He didn't leave his name, but
he said they were meant to meet

and he had a package for him.

Yeah, right, what'd he say?

No, when I told him John
was killed, he just hung up.

I saved his number, though.

Text me the number.
I'll check it out.

- Zane, I know this is important.
- I'll get away as soon as I can.

All right.

DOCS are happy for
Khadija to stay with her father.

There's apparently
no history of violence.

Doesn't mean he didn't kill
his wife and she's not in danger.

What have we got on him?

Noor migrated here 12 years
ago. Met and married Emma.

Nothing on record except
a call made two months ago

for a domestic dispute.

We're still talking
to neighbors.

Some had already
left for work, so...

What have we got
on the crossbow?

I've asked for a list
of registered owners.

Could have been
bought interstate.

Or off the Net.

The actual bolt itself
is clean as a whistle.

No fingerprints,
no serial number.

Forensics are looking
into DNA, residue, fibers.

The search on the house and
garage have given us nothing.

Documents for you to sign.

That's pretty tough, seeing
your mother die in front of you.

How does a kid get over that?

You don't.

Did Zacchariah
Noor kill my daughter?

Why do you think he
wanted to hurt Emma?

He was such a mistake.

Why would you say
that? What do you mean?

Well, they were
just too different.

My daughter was lovely.

She was fun-loving,
good-hearted.

- Oh, God.
- Take your time.

Emma liked to go out.

So we'd go to the
club, have a few drinks,

have a bit of a flirt.

All harmless stuff, but
he didn't understand.

He wouldn't let her be
happy, and now she's dead.

My baby is dead, and her
baby is living with a killer!

I want Khadija, okay?

Were you aware
of the custody battle

that was looming
between Emma and Zac?

It was never gonna
have a happy end.

Zac worked too hard,
and he expected Khadija

to adopt this whole religion.

Emma hated the idea of
her growing up in such a...

A restricted environment.

Not that she'd
ever talk about it.

She would never
look at me and say,

"Mum, you were right."

God.

So can I apply for custody?

Khadija needs me. I'm
all she's got right now.

You mentioned before

that she flirted with
other guys at the club.

I told you the club
was innocent fun.

A couple of drinks, a couple
of rounds on the pokies.

Mrs. Miller, I understand you
want to protect your daughter,

but if we find out

that you're falsifying
information about her,

that will affect your chances of
winning custody over Khadija.

Have a think about how
you answer that question.

There was someone.

I told her she was making
another huge mistake.

He was married, but
she said it was love.

Okay, it'd be really important
for us to meet that person.

Do you know anything about him?

He's from Khadija's school.

He got very intense.

- He kept calling, texting.
- Do you remember his name?

If Zac found out... I mean,
I was afraid for Emma.

Janet, we need a name.

Gavin Blanch.

That's him over
there. No worries.

Gavin Blanch?

I'm Detective Malik.
This is Detective Koa.

Do you mind if we ask
you a few questions?

If this is about Janey, I
haven't been anywhere near her.

Ask them.

I can't say boo to women
without them passing judgment.

What can you tell us
about Emma Noor?

She making a complaint
now too, is she?

What happened to the days

when you could just
admire a nice piece of ass

without being
slapped with an AVO?

Emma's dead, mate.

She was killed
earlier this morning.

How well did you know her?

- We had coffee a few times.
- Just coffee?

Okay, do I need
a lawyer or what?

You tell me.

Once. We did it once, all right?

Just once? Be honest.

Her marriage was
dead. We talked.

She cried, and we
just ended up getting...

- In bed?
- It was in the car.

She regretted
every minute of it.

- Look...
- You wanted more?

I... no. I'm a happily
married husband.

Does my wife have
to know about this?

This is a murder.
Everything's gonna come out.

Where were you this
morning at 8:00 a.m.?

Here, dropping my son off.
He's got early band practice.

When was the last
time you saw Emma?

Friday afternoon, here. She
was picking up her daughter.

Okay.

So why are you talking to me
about this? I never killed her.

We're talking to everyone
that can help us find

Mrs. Noor's killer.

Talk to her husband.

Emma said she overheard
him talking to his mother

about taking the
daughter back to Malaysia.

Without Emma. You
know how Muslims are.

- No, tell me.
- I'm not racist.

It's just, you know, the
father always gets the kids.

That's just the way it is.

Noor even told her he should
have married a Muslim girl.

He said he was gonna
take the daughter back

to Kuala Lumpur for good.

Did he? All right, thanks.

All right.

Ah, a guy a few doors up from
the Noor house just called in.

He was out when we
canvassed this morning.

He seems a bit upset
about a whole lot

of nonresidential vehicles
parked outside his house.

Could he give you any details?

He sounded pretty old, so
I'm gonna go have a talk to him.

- I can get Kane to go.
- It's fine.

He's just playing a
bit of soccer in there.

- Have you decided on a name yet?
- We're fighting over a few.

Melita likes Hugo.

Peter's popular in some circles.

I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks for coming.

That's all right.

The number's registered
to an Edward Kirkbride.

Yeah, I'll just check.

I didn't mean to bother you,

but Jack's not
answering his mobile.

What's this about?

Just tell him I've
got his package.

John's been killed. A car bomb.

- Killed?
- Who is this?

What's the package?

I'm Sophia, his
wife. I can take it.

Hello?

Kirkbride. He's an
immigration officer.

He lives in Canberra.

Your husband ever
mention this guy?

No. But I need to know
what was in that package.

Come to Canberra with me.

I can't. That's
outside my jurisdiction.

My husband had
stolen visas in his safe.

Kirkbride's an
immigration officer.

- I'll let Skerritt know, okay?
- Skerritt doesn't give a shit.

He's virtually closed the case

and branded my
husband a traitor.

He's got to know.

If my husband's guilty, I need
to be the first one to know.

If he was innocent, I
need to prove it, Zane.

Please, you're the
only one I can trust.

Yeah?

There's a car out
the front of the house.

- How many?
- Looks like two occupants.

Right.

Shit!

Dad! What the
hell are you doing?!

Jesus Christ, get
inside the house.

I've had five jobs pulled
from me since this morning.

I've been servicing this
guy's Holdens for years,

and now I'm not good
enough to change their oil?

Were you planning to take
your daughter to Malaysia?

Yes.

Why didn't you
mention that before?

Why should I?

I have a right to
take my daughter

to visit her grandmother,
her extended family.

Visit or stay?

My daughter's welfare
is my first priority.

How did your wife
feel about that?

She wasn't a good mother.

She'd go out drinking,
she'd come home late.

She slept with another man.

She abandoned the
sanctity of our marriage.

What would you
do in the situation?

She couldn't even
get up in the morning

to take my daughter to school.

I had to be mother and mechanic.

- So you were gonna take her.
- She is my child.

Emma's death made that easier.

- It does.
- Zac, did you kill your wife?

My daughter cries day and night.

Why should I inflict that
kind of pain on my daughter?

I've seen fathers
do a lot worse.

As I said, I was here, working.

So somebody must have
seen you at the pub yesterday.

So if you recognize
anyone, you tell me, okay?

What about the rego?

The car was reported
stolen four days ago.

They took off in a hurry.

Red-light cameras
might have something.

Yeah, it's on the list.

Right after booking you
for discharging a firearm.

When did you stop being a cop
and become a vigilante, Dad?

They had to be shown that
we're no pushovers, you know.

This is a complete
waste of time.

Wasting time is what you've
been doing all your life, Craig.

Now you get to put
it to some good use.

I haven't seen these guys. You
have. Why are you asking me?

Look, just think of
every possible contact

your former
employer, Emile Wong,

might use to track you down.

- Listen, man, you busy?
- Yeah, what do you want?

Got to go to Canberra. Want to
talk to a guy who knew Angleton.

- Boss said the case is closed.
- Still got no answers.

Why are you pushing this?

If Akmal didn't kill Angleton,

someone's walking around
out there who did, yeah?

- So is Sophia going?
- Yeah.

He's Sophia's contact.
He's gonna trust her.

I just need a few hours.
Please do this for me.

Yeah, all right, I'll
cover you with the boss.

But you're on your
own with your wife.

Yeah.

I tapped into Infotel.

Yeah, right?

Kirkbride has quite a profile.

He's married with three kids.

Then he came out.

He had a long and
solid career in Asia

before they reassigned
him to Canberra.

- Reassigned or investigated?
- I don't know.

John never mentioned Kirkbride.

But then, we never really
talked much, even intimate things.

I mean, even if we
did at the beginning,

we'd stopped by the end.

We even stopped making love.

We hadn't had
sex in over a year.

I don't know why
I'm telling you this.

- No, that's all right.
- It's the car.

It's kind of a confessional.

Not that you'd know.

Unless there's a
Muslim equivalent.

I don't know, like you have
conversations with the imam?

Yeah, but it's not
really the same.

Conversations
sound much more fun.

At least it's two-way.

In Islam, is a mistress
counted as a second wife?

I guess that's a no.

John probably had affairs
while we were together.

And if he had, I wouldn't mind.

But you'd probably have
a different opinion on that.

I left a message on
your phone last night.

Two, actually.

- You never got back to me.
- Richard...

Your way of trying
to tell me something?

There was a family drama.

- With Craig?
- No, my father shot at someone.

- You should have called me.
- It was over in a second.

No, you should have called me.

Perhaps I should give
up knocking on your door.

I like you knocking.

Well, you fancy
having dinner tonight?

Sure.

Only you'll have to come to me

'cause I can't leave my
father and brother alone.

Okay.

Dinner with your old man.

I'll bring a bottle of
red and a Kevlar vest.

- Where's Malik?
- We're looking into crossbows.

There's a few companies
online that are exporting...

Presumably he's not in
Penang, so where is he?

I'll get him to call you.

Okay, good. I want him in here.

There's a personal
matter I want his help on.

Okay.

Your husband will
be branded a criminal,

possibly even a traitor.

The truth is not always
what we would hope it to be.

Is that what you believe?
My husband was a traitor?

He made his choices.
His country judged him.

And they buried him a nobody.

And unfortunately for you,

you're left with a
tarnished memory,

wondering what else was a lie.

Mr. Kirkbride, we understand
Angleton was involved

in helping illegal immigrants.

We don't know how or why, but
we do know you were involved.

You don't know shit. You're
on a fishing expedition.

You said you had
a package for him.

Yeah.

Where is it?

In safekeeping.

May we see it?

You see, the problem
that I have with you

is I don't know
whether I can trust you.

Your husband certainly didn't.

- That's not true.
- Isn't it?

What was he really
doing in Indonesia?

It was classified.
It was a secret.

Is that what he told you?

That's what I know
to be the truth.

But is it the whole truth?

This is where you met
Angleton? Indonesia?

Yeah.

While you were
processing refugees?

Processing some, rejecting most.

You see, you have to
understand that these were families

who'd been driven out
from where they came

and were unwelcome
where they were headed.

And I looked into their
eyes and I saw hope,

and I do not understand

how anyone can
be indifferent to that.

Angleton had a list
of names in his safe.

Middle Eastern names.
He had stolen visas.

He would have needed
a friend in immigration.

Is that how it worked?

You were providing the paperwork
for these illegal immigrants?

Let me tell you something, okay?

Generations of my family
have fought for this country,

tested on the battlefield
where bullets fly

and things become very
simple... Kill or be killed.

And every single one of
those people was a hero.

They were fighting
for the values

that you and I believe in.

Now, where do you think
that you might find heroes

like that today, Detective?

The world's changed,
Mr. Kirkbride.

Indeed it has.

Disruption used to be a word,

but then it became
government policy.

- What disruption?
- Look it up.

Attach it to the word "program."

- Go into your NSO files.
- Why don't you just tell us?

Because I still
believe in the country

that my grandfather fought for.

A place where people
cared about each other.

Where they looked
after each other.

But that doesn't exist anymore.

What I see now is fear,
paranoia, and indifference.

What the hell was
going on, Edward?

What was in the package
you wanted to give him?

It's locked up.

If you want it,

you'd better come
back in the morning.

Okay?

Hey, forensics got back.

They found red cotton
fibers on the crossbow bolt.

Okay, so our killer used
the cloth to wipe the prints?

Yeah, before he
fired. It looks like it.

Oh, and the other thing.

That old bloke that lives
near the Noor house,

it turns out he's
obsessed with strange cars

parked near his house,

so he writes down
every single rego number.

I mean, there's a train
station a few blocks away.

People park and
train it to work,

but I'm still gonna check
all the numbers out.

Look, you're on limited
duties for a reason.

I'm sure this can
wait till the morning.

Come on, I'll walk
you to your car.

Okay. Cheers.

So, you, um, got a date tonight?

Well, if you call dinner
with your family a date,

yes, we have a date.

Um, you know, I always thought
Crowley was the man for you,

and when he died, I, um...

Well, you know, just glad
you've found someone new.

So this bloke's good
in a crisis, is he?

Yeah, he's got a cool
head, and he's loyal.

Hello?

Richard, hi.

Oh, really? What a shame.

You sure you're
not getting even?

No, no. No, it's okay, really.

All righty, then. Bye.

Yeah, uh, he's...
He's not coming.

He got caught up in work.

Perfect match, isn't it?

Loves a crisis, just not ours.

- Give me the bottle.
- Come on.

Come on, Dad.

You said you'd have
dinner with the kids.

So, what are we
talking, overnight?

I've got to talk to someone
first thing in the morning.

Then I'm on way back.

- Are you with Sonny?
- No, I'm with Angleton's wife.

There was a lead
we had to follow.

Habibti, you all right?

Yeah, sorry. Um...

Well, I hope it all goes well.

See you tomorrow.

- I love you, Zane.
- I love you too.

All right, bye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'll just be a minute.

No, thanks.

You don't mind that
I'm drinking wine?

No, no, that's fine.

I'm just feeling a bit...

- So...
- Do...

- I'm sorry.
- Sorry.

No, you go.

I was gonna ask
you about the garuda.

I thought because you said
your husband wore it for good luck,

that maybe it was
some NSO symbol

or something you
needed to join a club.

You have an attitude
towards the NSO.

NSO, ASIO. Anything
counter-terrorism.

They're all spooks.

We're not there to
frighten people, Zane.

We're there to protect.

NSO's about intelligence.
The world's a puzzle.

It changes every moment,
and I'm paid to work it out.

And that's what we've
got in common, right?

We believe in what we do.

Except I'm
accountable. You're not.

And power exercised in secret

under the guise of
national security...

That's dangerous.

Do you think I'm dangerous?

Zane, I have feelings for you.

I don't know how it
happened, but it has.

We've got this one night.

Can't it be together?

Sophia, I find
you very attractive.

Oh, my God.

How's the wine?

- Richard...
- It's fabulous.

- What are you doing here?
- What am I doing here?

- Can I have a word outside?
- Hang on a second.

I'm bound by the same
oaths as you, Richard.

You can say what you
have to say in front of me.

I don't think there's a problem.

- Your boss know you're here?
- What's that got to do with it?

You're so far out
of your jurisdiction

that you're dangerously close to
compromising an NSO operation.

You knew there a link
between Angleton and Kirkbride,

and you kept it from me?

Kirkbride is a
national security risk.

You're poking around
way above your pay grade.

He's prepared to talk. He's
got information on Angleton.

NSO believes that Kirkbride
is stealing documents.

Do you think he was
selling them to my husband?

You still here?

Okay.

Listen, Edward Kirkbride,
he's about to go down.

If you and Sophia are anywhere
near him, I cannot protect you.

Are you tapping my phone?

Or are you tapping hers?
How the hell did you find us?

Listen, Kirkbride was stealing
immigration documents,

selling them to Angleton.

Angleton was NSO,
turned dirty. She's NSO.

At best, her loyalty is suspect.

Her commitment to
NSO is unquestionable.

She's a widow. Show
some compassion.

Compassion? Is that what
you're doing down here?

- A little compassion errand?
- What?

She shows her inner thigh,

and you're in there like
a dog eating beetroot.

Beg your pardon?

I've known her longer than you.
How do you know can trust her?

She's after the truth. Don't
you think she deserves that?

Don't be so naive. Her
husband was a traitor.

He, Buller, Kirkbride

were bringing illegal
immigrants into the country.

How much was in
Angleton's safe? 100 grand?

You multiply that by a
thousand, then add some.

Was it her idea not to tell me?

How do you know that
she's not involved in this?

How do you know?

Early one morning, Peter
opened the garden gate

and walked into the forest
to play with his friends.

Recognize this?

No, I don't.

Soon his grandfather...

Mum used to
play it all the time.

Maybe it was just something
special she did with you.

"This is a dangerous
place," he said.

"If a wolf should come along,
then what would you do?"

And so Grandfather
took Peter by the hand,

led him back to the
garden, and closed the gate.

Suddenly, a hungry wolf
did appear in the forest.

That's how I got my
name. "Peter and the Wolf."

Remember? I always
wanted to be Peter.

No, I'm sorry, Craig.
I don't remember.

I'm out of here.

No, you're not.
You're staying here.

- I want out!
- Come on!

You're safer here!

You shot their car up!
They're not coming back.

I'm trying to protect you!

Yeah, what have you got?

I'm in the car park outside
the flats at Maroubra Beach.

Yeah, I know the one.

Boss, it's another crossbow.

- Is Malik with you?
- No.

Well, where is he?

He's tied up. Family.

If you're hiding something
from me, Koa, I won't be happy.

- Bye.
- All right.

- What have you got?
- Got an I.D.

You don't need to do this.

Stay in the car.

Stay in the car.

Deo.

What happened?

She did this to him.

As soon as Sophia
arrived on his doorstep,

he knew we'd be onto him.

And you might as well
have delivered the bullet

he used to kill himself.

Can't be sure it's suicide.

How long do you think
a homosexual traitor

would last in prison?

And that's after the
press chewed up

his 20 years of
loyal public service

and spat it into
the court system.

I suggest when you
drive back to Sydney,

you just think about
what it is you're doing.

Smarten up.

Deo, I'm so sorry.

Can you tell us anything
what happened last night?

After you left, he
started drinking.

His whole mood
changed. We argued.

- Did anyone come 'round?
- I don't know.

I got angry, and I
stayed with a friend.

Then when I came home...

We've got to get
out of here, all right?

- Zane...
- Get in the car.

The package.

It was us. We did this.

No.

It wasn't that.

Do you think I'm a
complete bastard?

I know you are.

I was thinking about
you the entire night.

Really?

And what were you doing
while you were thinking?

Oh. I was in Canberra.

Duty or pleasure?

Well, it's a small
place, Canberra.

You never know who
you're gonna run into.

You ran into someone,
and I'm missing a detective.

What the hell was
Malik doing in Canberra?

He was visiting a highly
placed public servant,

Edward Kirkbride.

- Works in immigration.
- Immigration?

After he visited...
I should say "they"

'cause he was with
Sophia Angleton...

Kirkbride committed suicide.

Oh, shit.

Boss? We gonna
go on without him?

- Without who?
- Malik.

Bloody Malik. Yeah.

Thanks, Richard.

Detective Koa, do the words

"integrity" and "Canberra"
mean anything to you?

Right, our deceased
is Adam Kalakis,

31, single, merchant banker,
crossbow bolt in his neck.

It's the same make as the
one that killed Emma Noor.

Forensics have
confirmed they found traces

of the same red
cotton fibers on the bolt.

So we're looking for
a psycho Robin Hood.

Right, so same
weapon, same killer.

There has to be a link
between our two victims.

Something that
ties us to our killer.

We've got a possible witness.

A jogger spotted his car parked
next to a silver station wagon.

- Did they see the driver?
- Didn't take notice.

How are you going with

your elderly
gentleman's list of regos?

Still working through
it. It's pretty long.

Okay, well, just pay
particular attention

to anything painted silver.

You obviously have no
respect for me or my position.

- I do have respect...
- That is bullshit!

Respect is built on trust,

and at the moment
I'm getting none.

- Now, what have you got?
- Kirkbride was gonna talk to us.

He had a package he was
gonna deliver to Angleton.

He agreed to give that to
us, and then he ends up dead.

Don't you think
that's suspicious?

From the file I've seen, the
visas found in Angleton's safe

were part of a
batch Kirkbride stole.

- You trust NSO?
- I have no reason not to.

They've withheld vital
information from us.

Two people have tried to give
me information on this case.

They've both been murdered.

The report suggests no
suspicious circumstances

in Kirkbride's death.

Kirkbride was gonna blow the
whistle on something very big.

I'm telling you, he
was gonna talk to us.

He was planning to kill himself.
He was just trying to buy time.

This whole mess just
strengthens my doubt

that Akmal killed Angleton.

And on the "us" issue,
you be careful, Zane.

Her grief is not your burden.

Sophia needs to accept
that maybe her husband

wasn't the perfect man
she thought he was.

Maybe he was
leading a double life.

People keep secrets.
Even husbands and wives.

You can go.

"'The way is dark, and in the
gloom it looks very difficult.'

The hoopoe replies, 'We
cannot meet the simorgh...'"

What are you talking
about? I told you the truth.

You've got to trust me.

I'm not accusing
you of lying, Zane.

Habibti, I would
never deceive you.

Maybe you deceived yourself.

Look, I made a mistake.

Okay, I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Zane, I admire your
drive. I always have.

But can't you see
what's happening?

You're becoming a
stranger to your own family.

"Only a man who has
been tested and is free..."

Hang on a second.

Yassie.

Zane, stop a moment.
This is a really good part.

I just want to
listen to something.

- The birds arrive.
- Baba, please.

A Canberra man
found dead in his home

has been named as
Mr. Edward Kirkbride.

Allegations are now being
made linking Mr. Kirkbride

with an illegal
immigration scheme

that may have
nationwide contact.

He was so cute, I
just couldn't resist him.

I thought he might get
lonely, need some friends.

So I got a whole bunch of them.

Then I remembered
that you like finches.

Yeah.

Zebras and double bars.

Nice, neat little bird they are.

The peach faces
remind me of Patsy

because they're
loyal and affectionate.

The canaries remind me of
mum 'cause of their singing.

Mum never sang in front of me.

She had the voice of an angel.

Present from Craig.

It's wonderful.

Costly.

It's a gift for Dad.

From the universe.

Well, that was very generous
of the universe, wasn't it?

Okay, rego of
one of the vehicles

parked in Noor's street.

What about it?

Silver station wagon
belonging to Karl Blazek.

Now, Blazek, he's been
charged with rebirthing cars.

He's got a court
case in one month.

Guess who's due to
give evidence again him?

Kalakis.

Yeah, but he's not the only one.

- Emma.
- No, her husband.

Zacchariah Noor was helping
in the case against Blazek.

And Blazek wouldn't have known

that Noor had moved
out of his home.

Yeah, so he sees a figure
behind the screen door,

fires, kills the wrong person.

And it ain't over yet because
there's a third witness,

Irene Zahra.

I'll organize protection
for Noor and his daughter.

You get in contact with her.

Let her know to lock her
place up and don't let anyone in

until we get there.

I've already done it, mate.
There's no answer here.

It's the third witness.

So how did Canberra go, man?

What?

How'd it go?

She's beautiful, man,
but nothing happened.

You're only human.
You're not perfect, eh?

- Hey, look out.
- That's our Robin Hood.

- Police!
- Police, don't move!

Hands where I can see them!
Both hands on the windscreen!

Right, don't move!

Do not move! Do not move!

The other hand!

Right, on three we're up.

One, two, three, up!

Karl Blazek, you're
under arrest for murder.

You do not have to say or
do anything unless you wish to.

Anything you say or
do may be recorded

and later given in evidence.

You understand
that? I assume you do.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

He was after you, not her.

You were gonna be
a witness at his trial.

How did he know
where to find us?

The wrong papers
were sent to his lawyer.

Had your address
on. It was a mistake.

Emma was killed
because of a mistake?

That's right. I'm sorry.

You thought I was guilty.

My mother asked
me not to marry her.

But Emma was so lovely,
I couldn't help myself.

- How are you?
- Good.

Is this God's punishment for me?

I'm sorry.

Some viewers may find the
following footage disturbing.

A bomb went off in Baghdad's
bird market today, killing 57.

Most of the victims
were women and children.

The suicide bomber
was a female aged 19.

Allahu akbar.

Look, look, look, look.

It was a bomb in the
bird market in Baghdad.

A lot of children were killed.

Mariam and her
nephew may be there.

Turn that off now. Did you call?

I called your mother.
I can't get through.

It's gonna be all right.

Ma's all right.

We'll call and find out.
Maybe nothing's wrong.

Don't jump to conclusions, okay?

Deo's here with the package.

- From Kirkbride.
- Okay, keep him there.

I'm on my way. I promise
this won't take long.

Hang on a second. What do
you mean, you're on your way?

Zane, you can't leave
when your dad's so upset.

Nothing's happened to her.

We'll call and we'll find out.

You're not going anywhere.
No. Your dad is too upset.

- I'll be back soon.
- Zane!

Baba, turn it off. Come here.

So who are these people?

Whoever they are, they
were all important to Edward.

But they look like
family keepsakes.

Parents, children.

Different cameras,
different places.

A father graduating.

- That's his family.
- I know this guy.

His name's Amin Khoder.

Do you know where Edward
got these photos from?

I think some of them came from
a photojournalist in Indonesia.

The others are personal.

Do you know anything
about these photos?

It has something to do with what
happened before I met Edward.

Now I'm giving them to you so
you can be burdened by them,

like he was.

These photos,
are they the reason

why you think
Edward killed himself?

- Edward didn't kill himself.
- How can you be so sure?

His reputation meant
everything to him.

Deo, can you tell us anything

about what happened
in Indonesia?

All I know is people
lost their lives.

And Edward blamed this man.

Separta.

We need to organize
another sailing trip soon.

I have customers ready to go.

I want them shipped
on the day we agreed.

But not here. I want them to
go to an associate in Sydney.

The weather problem

will still make it
difficult to move them.

Do it now! My
schedule's locked in.

It cannot be changed.

Separta.

Also known as Tom Hok Teng,
and more recently, Arif Muchtar.

Akmal sold the
claymores to Separta.

We know Separta's got
experience with explosives.

What, you think Separta
stole one of his own claymores

to blow up Angleton?

- What's the motive?
- I don't know.

Separta's a
strategic, violent man.

Kirkbride held
Separta responsible

for something that
happened in Indonesia.

Angleton was stationed there
around about the same time.

It's possible Angleton may
have hurt him in some way.

Maybe he was about to.

Comes back to
Akmal's arms dealing.

How does that link
to Kirkbride's suicide?

His nice little earner
was about to be exposed.

Richard, has NSO given us
everything on Arif Muchtar?

Yeah?

Can you also look
for intel on Separta?

Contact the feds. They've
got a fair bit on him.

I'll do that.

Right. I need to
take an early mark.

Can I trust you two to continue
this without starting a war?

And they sat down
on the feet of God,

the sun of his
majesty like a mirror.

But how could the
moth save himself

from the flame

when he wishes to
be part of the flame?

Deceased 50-year-old male.

Bruising on his cheek,
swollen lip, chipped tooth.

We have a surgeon who
is lying in that morgue,

a much admired,
much venerated man.

He gave people their lives.

My daughter died because of him.

You blokes are
onto this, aren't you?

Doing everything
we can to find them.

Families ain't what
they're cracked up to be.

Mine is just cracked.

Get against the car!

Police!

How dare you put
my team at risk?!

Was she accessing
intelligence on your behalf?

No.

Are you having
an affair with her?

- Habibti, I'm sorry.
- Sorry for what, Zane?

Do you know?
