East West 101 (2007–2011): Season 3, Episode 3 - Jerusalem - full transcript
Someone leaked
your Reserve Bank run.
Someone with inside knowledge.
How often do you do
the Reserve Bank escort?
Ah, we do about a
dozen runs a year.
They're a major client.
WRIGHT: Ashiq Khalid.
He was gunned down in the
street pulling a $36 million robbery
where four people were killed.
If Corporal Wilson's
a threat to the safety
and security of my
soldiers, I need to know.
I'll have one of my
detectives keep you updated.
Well, with all respect, I
would prefer that was you.
- Who are you working for?!
- [Thud]
Before Detective
Travis fired his weapon,
did you hear him issue a
challenge to the suspect?
No, I did not.
You know, at least in
Iraq you knew the guy
beside you had your back.
WILSON: You're
ex-army, served in Iraq.
One of the elite.
You of all people
should understand
the meaning of patriot.
This is Kasim Muhammed Yasser,
gaining a reputation
as an hawala broker.
So you'll take money from
anywhere, good or bad,
no matter whose blood's
been spilled getting it?
Iraq was destroyed on the
lies of dishonorable men.
Thousands died so that the
West could quench its thirst for oil.
Well, if Yasser wants to
bring the war to our doorstep
then destroying Lucas
Heights would be a good start.
Isn't that what Muslims
believe in? An eye for an eye?
Anyone's capable
of revenge, Detective,
given the right circumstance.
What's your point?
Shit! What the hell happened?!
- I thought you had the eyeball!
- TRAVIS: Work it out, genius!
Someone was in
here waiting for them!
[Man chanting in Arabic]
[Siren wailing]
[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]
BROADCASTER:
Palestinian militants in Gaza
have carried out sporadic
rocket attacks on Israel
since the end of the three-week
Gaza war in January 2009.
Look, this man got a family.
One day, poof,
everything is gone.
Can you turn it
down, please, Baba?
Was reportedly in
response to the killing of...
- Are you leaving?
- Yeah, I got a callout.
Before you go...
It's from Zara in Beirut.
"Our miracle baby Gabir."
She says how happy they
are. They couldn't conceive...
New South Wales
Major Crime Squad...
Please, Baba?
A record seizure of
500 kilograms of heroin...
It's nice that they felt
they could send it
to us, don't you think?
That they knew we'd
be pleased for them.
Sure, yeah.
It started me thinking about
us. About how maybe we could...
ZANE: Turn it up, Baba.
WRIGHT: equivalent
to 3 1/4 million hits
that won't end up on our streets
or in the hands of our kids.
And is it true that
Detectives Malik and Travis,
the same detectives involved
in the shooting of
Mohammed Mahmoud,
are also involved
in this operation?
Well, both detectives have
been completely exonerated
in that matter, and it bears
no relevance to this case.
Next.
[Keys jingling]
Zane, I want to talk to you.
Really sit down and talk.
- What about?
- Us.
Having another baby.
Oh, come on, habibti.
Please, don't go there.
Kasim Muhammed
Yasser and Jason Rizk,
both shot at close range from
the same .45-caliber pistol.
Yasser died from a single
shot to the right side of the head,
causing instant incapacitation.
Clean and precise.
Rizk was shot twice.
Messier.
First bullet lodged
in the thoracic spine
between T7 and T8.
Second to the head
at much closer range.
So he's tried to run. He's
brought down by the first shot.
The second one's a
kill shot to the head.
Whoever did this is a pro.
All while under
our surveillance.
Thanks, Vince.
You got something you
want to get off your chest?
We've got two
leads in this robbery
and they're executed
under our watch.
You're getting ahead
of yourself, Malik.
This could be solely
about the heroin.
Drug rip gone wrong, huh?
Some kind of power struggle.
No, Yasser knew
Khalid, one of the robbers.
Rizk was related to
Mahmoud, the getaway driver,
so the drugs and the
robbery are connected.
Someone screwed up.
Hey, listen, Malik. I
know you're hurt, right?
But not everything's
about your kid.
This is about two shitbag
drug dealers that got greedy.
You can say what you
want to cover your ass.
So this tire track was made
by a Bridgestone radial,
ZR17, which is designed for
a high-powered sports bike.
So whoever rode this
bike killed Yasser and Rizk.
Same odds as finding
a decent babysitter.
Callas, I've done
half your job for you.
Now get on the CCTV
register and find out
if there are any cameras in
the vicinity of the warehouse.
I have and there are.
There's seven of them,
four of which don't work
and the rest I'm onto.
So far all I've
got is a Vespa 50,
which I don't
reckon's your killer's
getaway vehicle of choice,
and a Harley-Davidson
Fat Boy Lo,
which takes a
140/75 tire on the front
and a 200/55 tire on the back,
neither size matching your ZR17.
Well, get onto the RTA
and get them to pull
every red-light camera
taken from Botany on that day,
because whoever rode that
bike killed Yasser and Rizk.
Okay, I just need a
couple of hours off
to sort out some
childcare issues.
- Double homicide, Woollahra.
- You're kidding.
Hey, Mum, listen, I
need to ask a favor.
Okay, I need another
favor, okay? Please.
[Sirens wailing]
LIM: So the dead woman is
Helen Solderman, aged 55.
Dead man is Eli Mordecai.
Eli's been living with Helen,
who's David's mother,
over here, for the last year.
The son found both
the dead bodies.
According to the neighbors,
the son David's just returned
from four years in Israel.
There's also a Palestinian
university student
that's been living
here for the last year.
He was meant to
come back at 5:00 p.m.,
but he never turned up.
His name's Abdullah Zereni.
- ZANE: Thanks, Lim.
- No worries.
So we've got no sign of
forced entry, front or rear door.
- 9-mil casings.
- He's been shot once.
She's copped it twice... one in
the neck, one in the shoulder.
Looks like he's put up a fight.
About a grand. No telling how
much was there to begin with.
We got a home invasion. Eli
comes home, surprises them.
I don't know. She's been turned
or moved after she was shot.
Killer might have known her.
Does that say
what I think it says?
"In the name of God."
In Arabic.
Six different styles of writing.
So what have we got?
We've got Jews into Arab art.
That's weird.
Abdullah's into economics.
That's just what the world
needs, another economist.
Palestinian passport
and Israeli I.D.
He's a permanent
resident of East Jerusalem.
Means he's not a full citizen.
If they stopped strapping
bombs to their bellies,
they might get somewhere.
According to Helen's
phone, Abdullah called her
three times during the day.
I rang his phone,
but it's switched off.
Keep trying. Any of
the neighbors seen him?
Yeah, this morning. Two of
them seen him on his way to uni.
Look at this.
"Students for Palestine."
Son says he comes
home about 4:30.
Guy down the shops says
he may have passed by.
Says he walks by
same time every day.
Abdullah Zereni is one of
my mother's good works.
She and her friends sponsored
him to come to Australia.
So how'd you feel about that?
How'd Mr. Mordecai
feel about it?
It's my mother's
house, not Eli's.
My father died five years ago.
So where would Abdullah be
now? Staying with friends, or...
Does he have friends?
Who would know?
He works a part-time job.
A building site in Rosebery.
- KOA: You know the address?
- I can find it.
We need you to come with
us and make a full statement.
- Is it walking distance?
- No, it's not.
I can't travel in a car
after sunset. It's Shabbat.
Is that like the Sabbath?
Like Shabbat.
Just find the Arab.
David, if you want our help,
you need to get in the car.
I'm happy to open
the door for you.
It's up to you.
All right, David,
talk us through
what happened when you got home.
I came home around 5:00.
The door was
locked. I unlocked it.
I went inside and saw my mother,
and that's when
I called triple-O.
- I don't even know what I said.
- So you called immediately?
I went to feel her
pulse first, to see if...
Did you move her
body in any way?
Maybe. There was a lot of blood.
I went over to Eli, knelt
down beside him to see if...
But...
Are there any enemies
that your mother or Eli
may have had that
you can think of?
There's a website...
Self Hating Jews.
Someone put my
mother's name on it.
Self hating Jews.
What does that mean?
There are a lot of people
who believe that if you're a Jew,
you should put
your effort into Israel,
and not try to make
peace with people
who want to push
us into the sea.
Did Mr. Mordecai
keep large amounts
of cash in the house?
He believed in the
buying power of cash.
It was nothing to him
to have 10,000, 20,000.
- Would Abdullah have known this?
- Yes.
- He isn't what he seems.
- What do you mean?
A cousin of his was
a suicide bomber.
Did he tell you that?
I found it out, and my mother
brought him in, into our home.
Whereabouts in
Israel did you live?
I lived in Havat
Gilad. A settlement.
- On the West Bank.
- In Judea and Samaria.
How did your mother
feel about that?
I don't need to tell you that.
You ever talk about politics
with her? You ever argue?
I don't need to
tell you that, either.
Were you armed
on the settlements?
- You carry a weapon?
- Yes. We had to.
- We were surrounded by Arabs.
- What about here?
- You own a gun?
- No.
- A gun ever kept in the house?
- The Arab must have had one.
Violence is their language.
It's all they understand.
KOA: Okay, what we need to
do is eliminate your fingerprints
from any of the house
and test you for
gunshot residue.
Not if it involves machinery.
Not until the end of Shabbat.
I shouldn't even be sitting
under this electric light.
- David, listen.
- No, you listen.
My mother was not religious,
but she respected my rights to
practice according to the Torah.
She would understand this.
These are basic human rights.
All right, we've got a murdered
couple shot in their home
somewhere between 3:00
and 5:00 this afternoon.
There's still nothing
on the weapon.
[Whispering] Make sure he's
got his special blankie, Mama.
I'll pick him up in the morning.
Eli Mordecai was a
property developer.
Let's check his phone records,
thorough search of bank
records, business dealings,
any significant
creditors, debtors.
Helen Solderman was
listed on a right-wing,
pro-Israeli website.
So let's check all her
correspondence and e-mails.
So far our only suspect,
apart from the son,
is a Palestinian student
who was living with
them, Abdullah Zereni.
Isn't that like letting
the fox in the henhouse?
WRIGHT: Has the
son got an alibi?
His rabbi confirms
he left the yeshiva
where he was studying at 4:00.
For religious reasons,
David can't be fingerprinted,
et cetera, until after
sunset tomorrow.
And you're happy with that?
There's not a lot
I can do about it.
A court order's
gonna take longer.
We've got his
clothes for testing.
I think our priority should
be finding Abdullah.
Yeah, well, follow up his
lecturers, tutors, friends,
clubs he belonged to, and
keep checking his phone.
Abdullah works part-time at
a building site in Rosebery.
That's the address.
I gave the kid work. Eli
asked me to as a favor.
I got him doing security
at nights and weekends.
TRAVIS: Did he ever
carry a gun at work?
He had a short fuse.
He kept plastering the
hoardings with his political bullshit.
Half my jobs come from Jews.
I told him to take it
down, to get rid of them.
He's the one that turned nasty.
So do you know where he is now?
I told him to piss
off, not to come back.
No favor's worth all that aggro.
When's the last time
you saw Mr. Mordecai?
A while back. But we
spoke on the phone a bit.
Yesterday I called him
about a DA on another site.
Anything unusual in his manner?
Times are tough.
Everybody's getting squeezed.
TRAVIS: Do you know if
anyone would want to harm him?
Anyone he owed money?
Like I said, times are
tough. But not as tough as Eli.
LIM: What do you mean by that?
He was hard. He was driven.
He wanted to be up
there with the biggest.
You know, if he couldn't get a
DA approved, he'd find a way.
How'd he do that?
Brown paper bag
under a restaurant table.
Made him a lot of friends.
And I'm sure there was
plenty who didn't trust him.
LIM: Okay.
Thanks. We'll be in touch.
I don't want to be chasing
CCTV for the rest of my career,
but I'm getting
kind of good at it.
Travis, you might
want in on this.
This is taken at an
RTA red-light camera
about two kilometers from
where Yasser and Rizk were shot.
Now, this bike takes
those ZR17 tires
that match those tracks
as a factory standard.
So this could be the man
that killed Yasser and Rizk.
- Plates are obscured.
- Not totally.
We've got the last two
numbers... a zero and a six.
Now, there's 247 possible
contenders in the state
with those two rego numbers.
I got the addresses, and I
checked them against these,
Yasser's phone
records in and out.
Now, 9:35 p.m. the night
before Yasser gets shot,
he gets a phone call from a
public phone box right here.
Half a K away from
that particular phone box
is a motorbike registered
to a Ryan James Hunter.
Same two rego numbers.
KOA: Give yourself
a raise, Callas.
Oh, a professional
babysitter will do.
Now, Ryan James Hunter, he rides
a GSX-R1000 Suzuki sports bike.
Same make, same model.
Here he is.
So, what's a dive-shop owner
with no record of violence
doing knocking a couple
of Middle Eastern crims?
Arabs don't have a
monopoly on crime, you know?
You dig deep
enough in this shit,
and you'll find the
Middle East in it.
I guarantee it.
Glad you've got an
open mind, Travis.
Malik, your lot have
been fighting for that long,
first thing they reach for
after breakfast is a weapon.
He's got his helmet off.
[Camera shutter clicking]
[Cellphone rings]
Yep?
KOA: Abdullah Zereni turned
his phone on an hour ago.
We eyeballed him 20 minutes
ago going into the same house
as the Palestinians
for Peace group.
ZANE: All right.
We're on our way.
[Siren wailing]
Police! Don't move!
Get down on the ground!
Down on the ground now!
Police! Don't move!
Police! Don't move!
Don't move! Don't move!
Get away from the window!
Get down on the ground!
Down on the ground.
Put your hands in the air.
Hands in the air!
This isn't a
checkpoint, Abdullah.
I just want to talk to you.
Put your hands in the air.
I didn't do anything.
So why'd you run
when I told you not to?
ABDULLAH: It's basic instinct.
ZANE: Hands on the counter.
ABDULLAH: When the
door gets kicked in, we run.
[Handcuffs ratcheting]
Ah, shit!
All right, let's go.
KOA: What time did you get home?
Lectures finished at 3:00.
Got home at about 4:30.
And what happened
when you got there?
The door was closed.
I let myself in. I went
straight to the kitchen.
I knew Helen would
be there cooking dinner.
David insists that the kitchen
be turned off before sunset.
For Shabbat.
Helen must have been a saint.
Trouble with saints,
they all end up dead.
ABDULLAH: I saw blood.
And Helen and Eli.
- And then what?
- I ran.
Why didn't you call for help?
A dog soon learns if you don't
want to get kicked, then run.
How'd you get
blood on your shirt?
I turned Helen
over, to see if...
- "I'd done a good job."
- she was dead.
ZANE: Did you see a gun?
- Do you own a gun?
- No.
When was the last time
you saw Helen or Eli alive?
The day before
yesterday, at breakfast.
"Right before I shot them."
ZANE: You see any cash
when you found the bodies?
Just blood.
This is bullshit.
Get over your
tunnel vision, Travis.
We don't need these views here.
Look, they grow up lying, right?
Family honor's at the top.
Truth's way down the list.
ZANE: How do you support
yourself while you're here?
Where's your money came from?
Helen paid for
my university fees.
Gave me a place to stay.
The rest I had
to find by myself.
- Do you have a job?
- I got sacked.
For my beliefs.
The other workers,
they don't care.
And Angelis, he lost his temper.
The other day, there was a
fight between Helen and Eli.
What was that about?
Money. It's always about money.
Eli wanted to borrow cash.
They were shouting. A lot.
So, what have we
got on Eli's finances?
Oh, basically a couple of
projects hemorrhaging money.
A lot of juggling. A
pile of overdue invoices.
He did withdraw 40,000
in cash in the last week.
How much was found
at the crime scene?
$700 spilled from the briefcase.
A long way short of 40 grand.
I think we need a comprehensive
list of Eli's creditors.
- CALLAS: I'm onto it.
- [Cellphone rings]
KOA: The death was
pinned between 3:20...
Amina, I can't talk
right now, okay?
I'll call you when I can.
NSO report that Abdullah's
family died in a house fire
in East Jerusalem
five years ago.
Suspected arson, but
they never solved the case.
Maybe Abdullah
benefited from their death
and thought he'd try it again.
Maybe he's a kid who
lost his parents in a fire.
He's not a kid, Malik.
He's grown up as a
second-class citizen.
He expects to be blamed.
TRAVIS: I can hear
the defense brief now.
It'll be post-traumatic
stress disorder.
KOA: The blood on Abdullah's
shirt belonged to Helen,
plus he had traces of
gunshot residue on his sleeve
and pockets of his jeans.
Ah, so it's ta-ta,
Helen Solderman.
Another do-gooder
bites the dust.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about
the aid workers
and the human shields, Malik.
They sing an Arab
song, eat some hummus,
it's peace to all
and back on the bus.
Or they stand in front
of a bulldozer or a tank
and it's shock horror
when they get run over.
It's all about guilt,
and nothing's as pointless
and useless as guilt.
It's just my opinion.
So take us through
everything you saw.
When you walked in
the room, how'd it look?
The desk was a mess.
- Papers were everywhere.
- Right.
His briefcase was
next to Eli on the floor.
- I knelt down to take a look.
- Did you touch anything?
- No.
- You sure?
Yes.
What happened after that?
Then I found Helen
here, on the floor.
I walked over, but she was dead.
You said earlier you didn't
see or touch a weapon.
- You stand by that statement?
- Yes, I didn't kill anyone.
'Cause we found traces of
gunshot residue on your clothes.
Jerusalem all over again.
Do you want to
change your statement?
Did you ever fire
a gun in this room?
I didn't fire a gun,
but I found one.
It was right here,
next to Helen.
I picked it up and I ran.
Why'd you pick it up?
I thought the killer
was still in the house.
So where's the gun now?
We've got a 9-millimeter.
I'll call crime scene.
- And that's not your gun?
- That's not my gun.
- So whose is it, then?
- I don't know.
It's the first time I
ever touched a gun.
Let go of me.
- Ah, it's not my gun.
- It's bullshit.
The kid's lying and
you're buying it, Malik.
- You gonna charge him?
- [Cellphone chimes]
I'll hold him till we get
the prints off the gun.
If his are on it,
then charge him.
I can't believe you're pregnant
and you send me a text message.
I didn't want to do it, Zane,
but there's no other way
to communicate, you know?
You won't talk to me.
So how did it... how did...
I thought you were...
I went off the pill.
Well...
And where was I
in that decision?
At work.
You're always at work.
So you just decided you
were gonna get pregnant
to, what, replace Amir?
- Amir can never be replaced.
- So, what, then?
This is about a new life.
Yeah, that I've got
to protect and raise.
No, both of us, Zane.
That both of us
will raise and love.
It's not just about you.
But since Amir, you
know, you've turned away.
Shut yourself off.
RAHMAN: And peace
only come from respect.
For Allah's will.
Your father, your wife.
ZANE: Baba, please.
Go watch the news
or something, will you?
We should have discussed this.
Yeah. But you're never here.
[Cellphone rings]
Even when you are.
Yeah?
TRAVIS: I may have to work
with Malik, but I don't trust him.
LIM: Do you trust me?
I don't know yet.
[Exhales sharply]
What, you're sleeping with me,
but you don't know
if you trust me?
It's something you have to
earn and then work to keep.
Betrayal's easy.
Is that what happened
with your wife?
I confused infatuation for love.
It started out, the sex was...
Sex was great,
then it wasn't so great,
kids come along, then
work, overseas service.
Then she's fucking your mate.
Is that why you broke up?
No, she was a
shit tennis player.
[Laughs]
Just so you know, I'm not
a great tennis player either.
Who's this? You know him?
LIM: No.
[Camera shutter clicking]
- Okay, swabs.
- What for?
If he rode through Rizk's blood,
chances are there's still
traces under the mud guards.
Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa. He's coming out.
What's he doing?
He's taking our evidence.
Shit. Gonna have to jam him.
Hey, it's Lim.
Look, we need a road block.
Hunter's bike's
leaving the building.
Brah, women fall pregnant.
That's the first law of nature.
Yeah, but I had no
say in this, Sonny.
Well, that's the
second law of nature.
Hey, you want to slow down?
- [Tires screeching]
- Cuz, you want to slow down?
Hey. Hey, this is a
stop sign. Hey, hey, hey!
ZANE: Feel like I've got
no control over anything.
Nobody has, including Amina.
You keep worrying about your boy?
You want to take
care of your missus.
How careful was
she that day, huh?
You're full of shit!
Stop the... stop the car.
- Stop the car, I said.
- You want to get out?
KOA: Stop the car!
[Tires screeching]
[Tires screeching]
ZANE: So how do
you know Ryan Hunter?
I don't. Okay, now
don't bullshit me.
You're on his bike. What
can you tell me about him?
I met him a week ago.
What're you doing with the bike?
- ZANE: Where'd you meet him?
- On the Internet.
He was selling a
bike. I was buying.
You want a receipt?
Here. I got a receipt.
6,000 I paid. I got signed
rego papers, all legal.
- I already told him all this.
- Malik, he checks out.
I want an apology and
I want my bike back.
It's our belief this bike
was involved in an incident.
- What kind of incident?
- I'm not at liberty to discuss.
Did that bastard
sell me a stolen bike?
You'll get your bike back
once it's been examined.
He ripped me off. I
want my money back.
I'd advise you not to
contact the seller of the bike.
That may involve you in
our ongoing investigation.
I don't want to be
dragged in no bullshit.
Do not contact Ryan Hunter.
You'll get your bike back.
- Can you write him a receipt?
- Yeah, sure.
Sir, I need to know every means
by which you contacted the man
who sold you the bike,
or he contacted you, okay?
[Cellphone ringing]
- Did you catch a cab?
- Flagged down a patrol car.
They want to know
what the hell I was doing
in the middle of
nowhere with no wheels.
It's none of his business.
A complaint just landed on
my desk from a Mr. El Hadary
about the aggressive
and intimidating behavior
of my Arab detective.
Now, is there anything in that?
He was on a bike happens to be
the only piece of
physical evidence
that potentially links Hunter
to the murders of
Yasser and Rizk.
We've got a second mobile
phone on Ryan Hunter.
Prepaid, fake
name, fake address.
WRIGHT: We got intercept
on his other phones?
LIM: Yeah, business
landline and his mobile.
And can we get this
prepaid on the same warrant?
We got a named
person. Already onto it.
Should be up and
running in an hour or so.
Good result.
KOA: You need to do
something about your anger issue.
You're getting out of control.
Otherwise I'll put in
a formal complaint.
Do what you got to do.
You could have taken out a
whole family at that stop sign today.
Mother, kid, anybody.
That makes you no
better than Mahmoud.
I'm going home. So should you.
Hunter's ex-navy.
He was a clearance diver in Iraq
during Operation Falcon in 2003.
Bought a dive shop
three years ago.
Now he teaches deep water,
wreck, and commercial diving.
He wouldn't be the first
person in the military
to go off the rails.
He was in Iraq
same time as Khalid.
Yeah, so were a million others.
You're looking for
excuses not to go home.
Yeah, but Hunter
murdered the two guys
who tried to collect
Khalid's drugs.
There's a connection.
Has anything come
back on the motorbike?
Not yet.
So we have no physical evidence
that proves Hunter
did kill Yasser or Rizk.
And if he did and if there
is a connection as you say,
it will still be there
in the morning.
So where are you
with Abdullah Zereni?
We've got a detention warrant.
We're holding him overnight.
Should get the prints back
off the gun in the morning.
Right. So you've got
no reason to be here.
So why don't you go
home to your family
before you become a stranger?
Boss, with all due respect,
I'm sick of being told how
to manage my private life.
An officer with a screwed-up
marriage is no good to me.
Their judgment's poor,
behavior's irrational,
so go home.
[Doorbell rings]
[Down-tempo jazz music playing]
Wow. You look beautiful.
You look important.
[Chuckles]
So how was your...
How was my, uh...
How was my what?
No idea what I was gonna say.
[Glasses clink]
So, tell me what we're in for.
Well, phase one, 2000 hours,
predinner drinks
in the anteroom.
Phase two, 2030,
dinner is served.
Phase three, postdinner
drinks and entertainment.
- That's a lot of phases.
- Mm.
Here's a plan.
Let's skip phase one.
Okay.
It's just...
It's been a long time for me.
Quite a long
time, actually, so...
- I can stop if you like.
- No, it's just...
You forget.
Then let me find the
places that need reminding.
[Gasps]
Thanks, mate.
I brought you some food.
You've got to eat.
What are you?
My family's Iraqi.
Heard you lost your parents.
You think I killed them too?
What happened?
They burned to death.
They put their
house up for sale.
Someone thought we
were selling to Jews.
And that the fire of hell
was their punishment.
The irony is that they
were selling to Palestinians.
Someone made a mistake.
- How old were you?
- 16.
One day I had family,
the next, no family, no home.
Just pain.
I'm sorry.
Some things you can't control.
You know, in this
country, if you're an Arab,
you've got to work
hard for acceptance,
to gain respect, trust.
But you can always
control your actions.
You think I killed
Helen and Eli?
That'll be for a jury to
decide based on the evidence.
I stood in queues
at checkpoints,
wishing I had a gun
to blow them all away.
I threw rocks at their tanks.
What good does that do?
I wanted to make a difference.
Helen gave me that chance.
Why would I want to hurt her?
[Cellphone ringing]
[Ringing stops]
TRAVIS: Just... look...
Just sit tight. I'll
be there, okay?
I've got to go out.
Where are you
going? Who was that?
It's an old mate.
Needs some help.
- Well, what about your boys?
- Just look after them, will you?
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
[Siren wailing in distance]
We used to call it
touching the breath of God.
- In God we trust.
- Yeah.
It was a mistake.
Do you remember
the bridge, Travis?
You and me and the Big K?
Pinned by a hundred
Iraqis, we band of brothers.
Let it go, Sterling. It's over.
It's done. Just tell
me what happened.
She was a nice
girl, the manager.
"Have to let you go," she said.
- So you got fired again?
- Yeah.
Do you know what
they had in that shop?
Along this one
whole wall, a mural,
of the Eiger.
The whole face of
the Eiger, in shadow.
I took a piss against it.
That's great, Jon.
I'm gonna turn it all around.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I got money coming in.
Yep, I'm gonna
mount an expedition.
No, I've got people
interested, you know?
I've got investors.
We will go set it up,
and then you and
me... The Eiger.
I tell you what, you
get yourself right,
and that's what we'll do.
But we'll leave a rope, yeah?
When we cross the traverse.
- That's right.
- Or there's no way back.
- There's always a way back.
- Not without a rope.
- Then we'll leave a rope.
- But we didn't.
Did we?
- Did we?
- Listen to me, Jon.
Listen. I'm gonna get
you some help, okay?
- I'm gonna get you help.
- No, I'm past help. I'm fucked.
I'm fucked up.
Beyond redemption. FUBAR.
- It's not too late, Jon.
- Yeah.
[Sobbing] I wanted
God to take a breath.
I want...
I want... I wanted
God to take a breath.
[Sobbing] No!
No!
- You're not fucked.
- No?
- Do you know why?
- Why?
Because if you're
fucked, we're both fucked,
and I'm not gonna
let that happen.
Shh. Come here.
I'll get you some
help, all right?
I promise you. We'll
get you some help.
[Sobbing]
Shh.
We'll get you some help.
KOA: Hey. You sleep here?
ZANE: Yeah.
Amina called to see
if you were all right.
Got the print report
back on the gun?
No, but I got a trace.
Jewish volunteer guards.
Part pro, part
amateur organization.
They look after schools
and synagogues in the event
there's a potential threat
to the Jewish community.
What was Abdullah
doing with a gun
from a Jewish security company?
Well, he didn't.
David Solderman did.
It's David's gun?
Why am I only
hearing about this now?
Well, because the company
was giving me the runaround,
and you've been off the air.
You need to talk to Amina.
We've both seen couples
split up after a kid dies.
Don't let this happen to you.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hey.
What's he doing here?
He's got some footy
stuff for the boys.
I'll speak to you on the phone.
I ran into Sterling last night.
He's screwed.
Offline.
He needs help.
Gonna take some money.
I'll handle it.
There are all these things
you're not allowed
to do on Shabbat.
But lying to the
cops is okay, yeah?
David, that's a 9-millimeter
semiautomatic pistol.
It's licensed to Jewish
Volunteer Guards.
You ever seen
one of those before?
No.
According to them you borrowed
it, disregarding procedure,
two weeks before it was used
to kill your mother
and Eli Mordecai.
Your prints are gonna
be found all over this gun.
Would you like to
revise your statement?
My... My mother found
the gun in my room.
She hated the idea of
a weapon in the house.
Told me to get rid of
it or she'd give it to Eli
to dispose of.
KOA: What was the
gun doing in the house?
There was an Arab
living under our roof.
So you lived on the settlements
in Israel for how long, David?
Oh, here we go again.
Do you believe in
Israel's right to exist?
Were you weapons-trained
on the settlements?
Or do you think we should
just be pushed into the sea?
- Were you trained?
- Yes.
But I didn't shoot her.
Or Eli.
In the name of God, I didn't.
I was protecting my mother.
KOA: Did Abdullah know
the gun was in the house?
Maybe. He... He could
have looked in my room.
You had a loaded
gun in your room.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
She said, "You don't achieve
peace at the end of a gun.
Nothing good will come of it."
If I hadn't taken the
gun, she'd still be alive.
KOA: What are you
gonna do with him?
Illegal possession of
a firearm for starters.
Callas, can you
get onto forensics?
Tell them we need the
print results from the gun.
They're under a lot of
pressure down there.
And we're not? Go
kick some heads.
So who is he?
This mate that gets you out of
bed in the middle of the night?
He's just someone I served with.
In the army?
In Iraq.
Why'd you go to Iraq?
Seemed like a
good idea at the time.
Now what's this?
Got your wet suit ready?
[Camera shutter clicking]
Who's this?
She's pissed off.
Oh, my God.
It's the woman from the
armored truck company
from the robbery.
[Camera shutter clicking]
What the hell's she
doing with Ryan Hunter?
This is Kimberley Whyte.
She's 26 years of age.
Lives alone in Petersham.
Been employed by the armored
vehicle company for two years.
She's responsible for
scheduling all their security staff
on all money transfers.
Now, it's our belief that
someone in the company's
been leaking
information to the gang.
If Kimberley is our insider,
then her relationship
with Ryan Hunter
puts him in the gang.
ZANE: Hunter's
ex-navy, served in Iraq,
is highly trained in
weapons use and explosives.
It's our belief Hunter
murdered Yasser and Rizk
and tried to collect
the drugs and weapons
that Ashiq Khalid had
shipped from Afghanistan.
So Hunter and Khalid,
there's a connection there.
Did we get anything
off Hunter's bike?
It looks like it was
steam-cleaned before being sold,
but they're still working on it.
Surveillance just picked
up a call off Hunter's prepaid.
First voice is Hunter's.
HUNTER: She'll be fine once
she's on the plane out of here.
- MAN: Calm her down.
- She's fine.
I just need some
cash to get her out.
MAN: You keep her under control.
- We get a second number?
- LIM: Same deal as the first.
Prepaid, fake
address, fake name.
TRAVIS: We'll get a pass
alert on Kimberley's passport
apply for the usual warrants.
And any talk from the magistrate
regarding prejudicial
value outweighing probity,
then you remind them
this is a $36 million robbery
where four people died.
Five.
I kicked heads for you.
Forensics on David's gun.
They found prints that match
an assault case from last year.
An architect who was
attacked by a builder
who had an anger
management problem.
Angelis.
Yeah, I did a
company check on him.
He's been in and out of court.
Subcontractors filing
for unpaid contracts.
It looks like he was
waiting for Eli to pay him
so he could pay them.
Maybe he didn't want to wait.
Yeah, so he kills Eli for the
money and Helen to shut her up.
Let's go get him, then.
- Thanks, Callas.
- Yeah.
[Sirens wailing]
Mr. Angelis.
I want to ask you
a few questions.
Mr. Angelis!
You're under arrest
in relation to the deaths
of Eli Mordecai and
Helen Solderman.
KOA: One, two, three, up.
Anything you say can be
used in evidence against you.
Do you understand?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go.
If you ever need anything.
Shukran.
Did you distrust me so much
you had to bring a
gun into the house?
Our graveyards are full
of people who trusted.
And now there's two more.
Where will you go?
I have nowhere to go.
I'm just here to get my stuff.
KOA: All right. Cool, thanks.
Forensics got a
result on Hunter's bike.
Blood on the mudguard.
- Positive match for Jason Rizk.
- [Cellphone rings]
- Let's bring him in.
- Travis'll meet us there.
Yes, Callas?
We picked up another call
to Hunter's mobile phone.
El Hadary's called
him about the bike.
He's told him
we've confiscated it,
and he's demanding
his money back.
Shit! Hunter's
onto us. Let's go.
[Up-tempo instrumental
music plays]
Police! Don't move!
- [Clicking]
- Drop your weapon!
- [Indistinct shouting]
- Shoot him!
Stovepipe stoppage, Hunter!
If you attempt
to rack, I will fire!
- KOA: Drop your weapon now!
- Shoot the prick!
- Shoot him!
- Be smart, Hunter!
Drop your weapon! Do it!
Ryan James Hunter, you're
under arrest for murder.
You do not have to
say or do anything,
but I'm warning you
anything you do say
will be recorded and later
used in evidence against you.
Do you understand me? Let's go.
TRAVIS: You're
in a lot of trouble,
'cause we've got your
motorbike at the crime scene
with the victim's blood on it.
And we've got your
weapon as the shooter
that took out Kasim
Yasser and Jason Rizk.
This brief's tightening
like a duck's ass.
Look like a couple of
towelhead drug dealers to me.
You should be thanking
whoever knocked them.
There was a time
I was sanctioned
to do that kind of work.
- Yeah, where was that?
- The asshole of the earth.
ZANE: I thought the role of
the military in the Middle East
was to suppress insurgency,
not to murder people.
Well, the public will
swallow anything, won't they?
Huh?
We know you phoned Mr. Yasser
the night before you killed him.
What was the conversation about?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Why did you kill these men?
Who gave you the
orders to shoot them?
How do you know Kimberley Whyte?
What can you tell
me about this man?
Or this man?
- You ever met him?
- No.
- So you don't know who this is?
- Never met him.
You think this is
done, don't you?
All right, charge him
with the attempted murder
of a police officer
and the murders
of Jason Rizk and Kasim Yasser.
- I want him for the robbery.
- We'll take what we can get.
Hey.
You know that stuff I said
that you were like Mahmoud?
Yeah, well, I was out of line.
No, you were right.
We should have discussed this.
Well, we didn't discuss
having Yasmeen, either.
But it happened.
And when it did,
we felt blessed.
I don't know if I
can do it, you know?
Not after Amir.
I felt the same way at first.
Yeah, but it's not gonna
change, you know?
Just...
Don't know if I can
be a father again
until I have closure, you know?
I just don't have
room in my heart for it.
When we had Amir and Yasmeen,
you found room in your
heart to love them both.
It'll be the same again.
You'll find the
love for a new child.
Things at work are
different, you know?
When I walk out
that door every day,
I don't know what's
gonna happen.
Can't even guarantee
I'll come back.
How long will this go on?
You want me to catch the
people who did this, don't you?
Not if it means losing
my whole family.
[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]
your Reserve Bank run.
Someone with inside knowledge.
How often do you do
the Reserve Bank escort?
Ah, we do about a
dozen runs a year.
They're a major client.
WRIGHT: Ashiq Khalid.
He was gunned down in the
street pulling a $36 million robbery
where four people were killed.
If Corporal Wilson's
a threat to the safety
and security of my
soldiers, I need to know.
I'll have one of my
detectives keep you updated.
Well, with all respect, I
would prefer that was you.
- Who are you working for?!
- [Thud]
Before Detective
Travis fired his weapon,
did you hear him issue a
challenge to the suspect?
No, I did not.
You know, at least in
Iraq you knew the guy
beside you had your back.
WILSON: You're
ex-army, served in Iraq.
One of the elite.
You of all people
should understand
the meaning of patriot.
This is Kasim Muhammed Yasser,
gaining a reputation
as an hawala broker.
So you'll take money from
anywhere, good or bad,
no matter whose blood's
been spilled getting it?
Iraq was destroyed on the
lies of dishonorable men.
Thousands died so that the
West could quench its thirst for oil.
Well, if Yasser wants to
bring the war to our doorstep
then destroying Lucas
Heights would be a good start.
Isn't that what Muslims
believe in? An eye for an eye?
Anyone's capable
of revenge, Detective,
given the right circumstance.
What's your point?
Shit! What the hell happened?!
- I thought you had the eyeball!
- TRAVIS: Work it out, genius!
Someone was in
here waiting for them!
[Man chanting in Arabic]
[Siren wailing]
[Up-tempo Middle
Eastern music plays]
BROADCASTER:
Palestinian militants in Gaza
have carried out sporadic
rocket attacks on Israel
since the end of the three-week
Gaza war in January 2009.
Look, this man got a family.
One day, poof,
everything is gone.
Can you turn it
down, please, Baba?
Was reportedly in
response to the killing of...
- Are you leaving?
- Yeah, I got a callout.
Before you go...
It's from Zara in Beirut.
"Our miracle baby Gabir."
She says how happy they
are. They couldn't conceive...
New South Wales
Major Crime Squad...
Please, Baba?
A record seizure of
500 kilograms of heroin...
It's nice that they felt
they could send it
to us, don't you think?
That they knew we'd
be pleased for them.
Sure, yeah.
It started me thinking about
us. About how maybe we could...
ZANE: Turn it up, Baba.
WRIGHT: equivalent
to 3 1/4 million hits
that won't end up on our streets
or in the hands of our kids.
And is it true that
Detectives Malik and Travis,
the same detectives involved
in the shooting of
Mohammed Mahmoud,
are also involved
in this operation?
Well, both detectives have
been completely exonerated
in that matter, and it bears
no relevance to this case.
Next.
[Keys jingling]
Zane, I want to talk to you.
Really sit down and talk.
- What about?
- Us.
Having another baby.
Oh, come on, habibti.
Please, don't go there.
Kasim Muhammed
Yasser and Jason Rizk,
both shot at close range from
the same .45-caliber pistol.
Yasser died from a single
shot to the right side of the head,
causing instant incapacitation.
Clean and precise.
Rizk was shot twice.
Messier.
First bullet lodged
in the thoracic spine
between T7 and T8.
Second to the head
at much closer range.
So he's tried to run. He's
brought down by the first shot.
The second one's a
kill shot to the head.
Whoever did this is a pro.
All while under
our surveillance.
Thanks, Vince.
You got something you
want to get off your chest?
We've got two
leads in this robbery
and they're executed
under our watch.
You're getting ahead
of yourself, Malik.
This could be solely
about the heroin.
Drug rip gone wrong, huh?
Some kind of power struggle.
No, Yasser knew
Khalid, one of the robbers.
Rizk was related to
Mahmoud, the getaway driver,
so the drugs and the
robbery are connected.
Someone screwed up.
Hey, listen, Malik. I
know you're hurt, right?
But not everything's
about your kid.
This is about two shitbag
drug dealers that got greedy.
You can say what you
want to cover your ass.
So this tire track was made
by a Bridgestone radial,
ZR17, which is designed for
a high-powered sports bike.
So whoever rode this
bike killed Yasser and Rizk.
Same odds as finding
a decent babysitter.
Callas, I've done
half your job for you.
Now get on the CCTV
register and find out
if there are any cameras in
the vicinity of the warehouse.
I have and there are.
There's seven of them,
four of which don't work
and the rest I'm onto.
So far all I've
got is a Vespa 50,
which I don't
reckon's your killer's
getaway vehicle of choice,
and a Harley-Davidson
Fat Boy Lo,
which takes a
140/75 tire on the front
and a 200/55 tire on the back,
neither size matching your ZR17.
Well, get onto the RTA
and get them to pull
every red-light camera
taken from Botany on that day,
because whoever rode that
bike killed Yasser and Rizk.
Okay, I just need a
couple of hours off
to sort out some
childcare issues.
- Double homicide, Woollahra.
- You're kidding.
Hey, Mum, listen, I
need to ask a favor.
Okay, I need another
favor, okay? Please.
[Sirens wailing]
LIM: So the dead woman is
Helen Solderman, aged 55.
Dead man is Eli Mordecai.
Eli's been living with Helen,
who's David's mother,
over here, for the last year.
The son found both
the dead bodies.
According to the neighbors,
the son David's just returned
from four years in Israel.
There's also a Palestinian
university student
that's been living
here for the last year.
He was meant to
come back at 5:00 p.m.,
but he never turned up.
His name's Abdullah Zereni.
- ZANE: Thanks, Lim.
- No worries.
So we've got no sign of
forced entry, front or rear door.
- 9-mil casings.
- He's been shot once.
She's copped it twice... one in
the neck, one in the shoulder.
Looks like he's put up a fight.
About a grand. No telling how
much was there to begin with.
We got a home invasion. Eli
comes home, surprises them.
I don't know. She's been turned
or moved after she was shot.
Killer might have known her.
Does that say
what I think it says?
"In the name of God."
In Arabic.
Six different styles of writing.
So what have we got?
We've got Jews into Arab art.
That's weird.
Abdullah's into economics.
That's just what the world
needs, another economist.
Palestinian passport
and Israeli I.D.
He's a permanent
resident of East Jerusalem.
Means he's not a full citizen.
If they stopped strapping
bombs to their bellies,
they might get somewhere.
According to Helen's
phone, Abdullah called her
three times during the day.
I rang his phone,
but it's switched off.
Keep trying. Any of
the neighbors seen him?
Yeah, this morning. Two of
them seen him on his way to uni.
Look at this.
"Students for Palestine."
Son says he comes
home about 4:30.
Guy down the shops says
he may have passed by.
Says he walks by
same time every day.
Abdullah Zereni is one of
my mother's good works.
She and her friends sponsored
him to come to Australia.
So how'd you feel about that?
How'd Mr. Mordecai
feel about it?
It's my mother's
house, not Eli's.
My father died five years ago.
So where would Abdullah be
now? Staying with friends, or...
Does he have friends?
Who would know?
He works a part-time job.
A building site in Rosebery.
- KOA: You know the address?
- I can find it.
We need you to come with
us and make a full statement.
- Is it walking distance?
- No, it's not.
I can't travel in a car
after sunset. It's Shabbat.
Is that like the Sabbath?
Like Shabbat.
Just find the Arab.
David, if you want our help,
you need to get in the car.
I'm happy to open
the door for you.
It's up to you.
All right, David,
talk us through
what happened when you got home.
I came home around 5:00.
The door was
locked. I unlocked it.
I went inside and saw my mother,
and that's when
I called triple-O.
- I don't even know what I said.
- So you called immediately?
I went to feel her
pulse first, to see if...
Did you move her
body in any way?
Maybe. There was a lot of blood.
I went over to Eli, knelt
down beside him to see if...
But...
Are there any enemies
that your mother or Eli
may have had that
you can think of?
There's a website...
Self Hating Jews.
Someone put my
mother's name on it.
Self hating Jews.
What does that mean?
There are a lot of people
who believe that if you're a Jew,
you should put
your effort into Israel,
and not try to make
peace with people
who want to push
us into the sea.
Did Mr. Mordecai
keep large amounts
of cash in the house?
He believed in the
buying power of cash.
It was nothing to him
to have 10,000, 20,000.
- Would Abdullah have known this?
- Yes.
- He isn't what he seems.
- What do you mean?
A cousin of his was
a suicide bomber.
Did he tell you that?
I found it out, and my mother
brought him in, into our home.
Whereabouts in
Israel did you live?
I lived in Havat
Gilad. A settlement.
- On the West Bank.
- In Judea and Samaria.
How did your mother
feel about that?
I don't need to tell you that.
You ever talk about politics
with her? You ever argue?
I don't need to
tell you that, either.
Were you armed
on the settlements?
- You carry a weapon?
- Yes. We had to.
- We were surrounded by Arabs.
- What about here?
- You own a gun?
- No.
- A gun ever kept in the house?
- The Arab must have had one.
Violence is their language.
It's all they understand.
KOA: Okay, what we need to
do is eliminate your fingerprints
from any of the house
and test you for
gunshot residue.
Not if it involves machinery.
Not until the end of Shabbat.
I shouldn't even be sitting
under this electric light.
- David, listen.
- No, you listen.
My mother was not religious,
but she respected my rights to
practice according to the Torah.
She would understand this.
These are basic human rights.
All right, we've got a murdered
couple shot in their home
somewhere between 3:00
and 5:00 this afternoon.
There's still nothing
on the weapon.
[Whispering] Make sure he's
got his special blankie, Mama.
I'll pick him up in the morning.
Eli Mordecai was a
property developer.
Let's check his phone records,
thorough search of bank
records, business dealings,
any significant
creditors, debtors.
Helen Solderman was
listed on a right-wing,
pro-Israeli website.
So let's check all her
correspondence and e-mails.
So far our only suspect,
apart from the son,
is a Palestinian student
who was living with
them, Abdullah Zereni.
Isn't that like letting
the fox in the henhouse?
WRIGHT: Has the
son got an alibi?
His rabbi confirms
he left the yeshiva
where he was studying at 4:00.
For religious reasons,
David can't be fingerprinted,
et cetera, until after
sunset tomorrow.
And you're happy with that?
There's not a lot
I can do about it.
A court order's
gonna take longer.
We've got his
clothes for testing.
I think our priority should
be finding Abdullah.
Yeah, well, follow up his
lecturers, tutors, friends,
clubs he belonged to, and
keep checking his phone.
Abdullah works part-time at
a building site in Rosebery.
That's the address.
I gave the kid work. Eli
asked me to as a favor.
I got him doing security
at nights and weekends.
TRAVIS: Did he ever
carry a gun at work?
He had a short fuse.
He kept plastering the
hoardings with his political bullshit.
Half my jobs come from Jews.
I told him to take it
down, to get rid of them.
He's the one that turned nasty.
So do you know where he is now?
I told him to piss
off, not to come back.
No favor's worth all that aggro.
When's the last time
you saw Mr. Mordecai?
A while back. But we
spoke on the phone a bit.
Yesterday I called him
about a DA on another site.
Anything unusual in his manner?
Times are tough.
Everybody's getting squeezed.
TRAVIS: Do you know if
anyone would want to harm him?
Anyone he owed money?
Like I said, times are
tough. But not as tough as Eli.
LIM: What do you mean by that?
He was hard. He was driven.
He wanted to be up
there with the biggest.
You know, if he couldn't get a
DA approved, he'd find a way.
How'd he do that?
Brown paper bag
under a restaurant table.
Made him a lot of friends.
And I'm sure there was
plenty who didn't trust him.
LIM: Okay.
Thanks. We'll be in touch.
I don't want to be chasing
CCTV for the rest of my career,
but I'm getting
kind of good at it.
Travis, you might
want in on this.
This is taken at an
RTA red-light camera
about two kilometers from
where Yasser and Rizk were shot.
Now, this bike takes
those ZR17 tires
that match those tracks
as a factory standard.
So this could be the man
that killed Yasser and Rizk.
- Plates are obscured.
- Not totally.
We've got the last two
numbers... a zero and a six.
Now, there's 247 possible
contenders in the state
with those two rego numbers.
I got the addresses, and I
checked them against these,
Yasser's phone
records in and out.
Now, 9:35 p.m. the night
before Yasser gets shot,
he gets a phone call from a
public phone box right here.
Half a K away from
that particular phone box
is a motorbike registered
to a Ryan James Hunter.
Same two rego numbers.
KOA: Give yourself
a raise, Callas.
Oh, a professional
babysitter will do.
Now, Ryan James Hunter, he rides
a GSX-R1000 Suzuki sports bike.
Same make, same model.
Here he is.
So, what's a dive-shop owner
with no record of violence
doing knocking a couple
of Middle Eastern crims?
Arabs don't have a
monopoly on crime, you know?
You dig deep
enough in this shit,
and you'll find the
Middle East in it.
I guarantee it.
Glad you've got an
open mind, Travis.
Malik, your lot have
been fighting for that long,
first thing they reach for
after breakfast is a weapon.
He's got his helmet off.
[Camera shutter clicking]
[Cellphone rings]
Yep?
KOA: Abdullah Zereni turned
his phone on an hour ago.
We eyeballed him 20 minutes
ago going into the same house
as the Palestinians
for Peace group.
ZANE: All right.
We're on our way.
[Siren wailing]
Police! Don't move!
Get down on the ground!
Down on the ground now!
Police! Don't move!
Police! Don't move!
Don't move! Don't move!
Get away from the window!
Get down on the ground!
Down on the ground.
Put your hands in the air.
Hands in the air!
This isn't a
checkpoint, Abdullah.
I just want to talk to you.
Put your hands in the air.
I didn't do anything.
So why'd you run
when I told you not to?
ABDULLAH: It's basic instinct.
ZANE: Hands on the counter.
ABDULLAH: When the
door gets kicked in, we run.
[Handcuffs ratcheting]
Ah, shit!
All right, let's go.
KOA: What time did you get home?
Lectures finished at 3:00.
Got home at about 4:30.
And what happened
when you got there?
The door was closed.
I let myself in. I went
straight to the kitchen.
I knew Helen would
be there cooking dinner.
David insists that the kitchen
be turned off before sunset.
For Shabbat.
Helen must have been a saint.
Trouble with saints,
they all end up dead.
ABDULLAH: I saw blood.
And Helen and Eli.
- And then what?
- I ran.
Why didn't you call for help?
A dog soon learns if you don't
want to get kicked, then run.
How'd you get
blood on your shirt?
I turned Helen
over, to see if...
- "I'd done a good job."
- she was dead.
ZANE: Did you see a gun?
- Do you own a gun?
- No.
When was the last time
you saw Helen or Eli alive?
The day before
yesterday, at breakfast.
"Right before I shot them."
ZANE: You see any cash
when you found the bodies?
Just blood.
This is bullshit.
Get over your
tunnel vision, Travis.
We don't need these views here.
Look, they grow up lying, right?
Family honor's at the top.
Truth's way down the list.
ZANE: How do you support
yourself while you're here?
Where's your money came from?
Helen paid for
my university fees.
Gave me a place to stay.
The rest I had
to find by myself.
- Do you have a job?
- I got sacked.
For my beliefs.
The other workers,
they don't care.
And Angelis, he lost his temper.
The other day, there was a
fight between Helen and Eli.
What was that about?
Money. It's always about money.
Eli wanted to borrow cash.
They were shouting. A lot.
So, what have we
got on Eli's finances?
Oh, basically a couple of
projects hemorrhaging money.
A lot of juggling. A
pile of overdue invoices.
He did withdraw 40,000
in cash in the last week.
How much was found
at the crime scene?
$700 spilled from the briefcase.
A long way short of 40 grand.
I think we need a comprehensive
list of Eli's creditors.
- CALLAS: I'm onto it.
- [Cellphone rings]
KOA: The death was
pinned between 3:20...
Amina, I can't talk
right now, okay?
I'll call you when I can.
NSO report that Abdullah's
family died in a house fire
in East Jerusalem
five years ago.
Suspected arson, but
they never solved the case.
Maybe Abdullah
benefited from their death
and thought he'd try it again.
Maybe he's a kid who
lost his parents in a fire.
He's not a kid, Malik.
He's grown up as a
second-class citizen.
He expects to be blamed.
TRAVIS: I can hear
the defense brief now.
It'll be post-traumatic
stress disorder.
KOA: The blood on Abdullah's
shirt belonged to Helen,
plus he had traces of
gunshot residue on his sleeve
and pockets of his jeans.
Ah, so it's ta-ta,
Helen Solderman.
Another do-gooder
bites the dust.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about
the aid workers
and the human shields, Malik.
They sing an Arab
song, eat some hummus,
it's peace to all
and back on the bus.
Or they stand in front
of a bulldozer or a tank
and it's shock horror
when they get run over.
It's all about guilt,
and nothing's as pointless
and useless as guilt.
It's just my opinion.
So take us through
everything you saw.
When you walked in
the room, how'd it look?
The desk was a mess.
- Papers were everywhere.
- Right.
His briefcase was
next to Eli on the floor.
- I knelt down to take a look.
- Did you touch anything?
- No.
- You sure?
Yes.
What happened after that?
Then I found Helen
here, on the floor.
I walked over, but she was dead.
You said earlier you didn't
see or touch a weapon.
- You stand by that statement?
- Yes, I didn't kill anyone.
'Cause we found traces of
gunshot residue on your clothes.
Jerusalem all over again.
Do you want to
change your statement?
Did you ever fire
a gun in this room?
I didn't fire a gun,
but I found one.
It was right here,
next to Helen.
I picked it up and I ran.
Why'd you pick it up?
I thought the killer
was still in the house.
So where's the gun now?
We've got a 9-millimeter.
I'll call crime scene.
- And that's not your gun?
- That's not my gun.
- So whose is it, then?
- I don't know.
It's the first time I
ever touched a gun.
Let go of me.
- Ah, it's not my gun.
- It's bullshit.
The kid's lying and
you're buying it, Malik.
- You gonna charge him?
- [Cellphone chimes]
I'll hold him till we get
the prints off the gun.
If his are on it,
then charge him.
I can't believe you're pregnant
and you send me a text message.
I didn't want to do it, Zane,
but there's no other way
to communicate, you know?
You won't talk to me.
So how did it... how did...
I thought you were...
I went off the pill.
Well...
And where was I
in that decision?
At work.
You're always at work.
So you just decided you
were gonna get pregnant
to, what, replace Amir?
- Amir can never be replaced.
- So, what, then?
This is about a new life.
Yeah, that I've got
to protect and raise.
No, both of us, Zane.
That both of us
will raise and love.
It's not just about you.
But since Amir, you
know, you've turned away.
Shut yourself off.
RAHMAN: And peace
only come from respect.
For Allah's will.
Your father, your wife.
ZANE: Baba, please.
Go watch the news
or something, will you?
We should have discussed this.
Yeah. But you're never here.
[Cellphone rings]
Even when you are.
Yeah?
TRAVIS: I may have to work
with Malik, but I don't trust him.
LIM: Do you trust me?
I don't know yet.
[Exhales sharply]
What, you're sleeping with me,
but you don't know
if you trust me?
It's something you have to
earn and then work to keep.
Betrayal's easy.
Is that what happened
with your wife?
I confused infatuation for love.
It started out, the sex was...
Sex was great,
then it wasn't so great,
kids come along, then
work, overseas service.
Then she's fucking your mate.
Is that why you broke up?
No, she was a
shit tennis player.
[Laughs]
Just so you know, I'm not
a great tennis player either.
Who's this? You know him?
LIM: No.
[Camera shutter clicking]
- Okay, swabs.
- What for?
If he rode through Rizk's blood,
chances are there's still
traces under the mud guards.
Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa. He's coming out.
What's he doing?
He's taking our evidence.
Shit. Gonna have to jam him.
Hey, it's Lim.
Look, we need a road block.
Hunter's bike's
leaving the building.
Brah, women fall pregnant.
That's the first law of nature.
Yeah, but I had no
say in this, Sonny.
Well, that's the
second law of nature.
Hey, you want to slow down?
- [Tires screeching]
- Cuz, you want to slow down?
Hey. Hey, this is a
stop sign. Hey, hey, hey!
ZANE: Feel like I've got
no control over anything.
Nobody has, including Amina.
You keep worrying about your boy?
You want to take
care of your missus.
How careful was
she that day, huh?
You're full of shit!
Stop the... stop the car.
- Stop the car, I said.
- You want to get out?
KOA: Stop the car!
[Tires screeching]
[Tires screeching]
ZANE: So how do
you know Ryan Hunter?
I don't. Okay, now
don't bullshit me.
You're on his bike. What
can you tell me about him?
I met him a week ago.
What're you doing with the bike?
- ZANE: Where'd you meet him?
- On the Internet.
He was selling a
bike. I was buying.
You want a receipt?
Here. I got a receipt.
6,000 I paid. I got signed
rego papers, all legal.
- I already told him all this.
- Malik, he checks out.
I want an apology and
I want my bike back.
It's our belief this bike
was involved in an incident.
- What kind of incident?
- I'm not at liberty to discuss.
Did that bastard
sell me a stolen bike?
You'll get your bike back
once it's been examined.
He ripped me off. I
want my money back.
I'd advise you not to
contact the seller of the bike.
That may involve you in
our ongoing investigation.
I don't want to be
dragged in no bullshit.
Do not contact Ryan Hunter.
You'll get your bike back.
- Can you write him a receipt?
- Yeah, sure.
Sir, I need to know every means
by which you contacted the man
who sold you the bike,
or he contacted you, okay?
[Cellphone ringing]
- Did you catch a cab?
- Flagged down a patrol car.
They want to know
what the hell I was doing
in the middle of
nowhere with no wheels.
It's none of his business.
A complaint just landed on
my desk from a Mr. El Hadary
about the aggressive
and intimidating behavior
of my Arab detective.
Now, is there anything in that?
He was on a bike happens to be
the only piece of
physical evidence
that potentially links Hunter
to the murders of
Yasser and Rizk.
We've got a second mobile
phone on Ryan Hunter.
Prepaid, fake
name, fake address.
WRIGHT: We got intercept
on his other phones?
LIM: Yeah, business
landline and his mobile.
And can we get this
prepaid on the same warrant?
We got a named
person. Already onto it.
Should be up and
running in an hour or so.
Good result.
KOA: You need to do
something about your anger issue.
You're getting out of control.
Otherwise I'll put in
a formal complaint.
Do what you got to do.
You could have taken out a
whole family at that stop sign today.
Mother, kid, anybody.
That makes you no
better than Mahmoud.
I'm going home. So should you.
Hunter's ex-navy.
He was a clearance diver in Iraq
during Operation Falcon in 2003.
Bought a dive shop
three years ago.
Now he teaches deep water,
wreck, and commercial diving.
He wouldn't be the first
person in the military
to go off the rails.
He was in Iraq
same time as Khalid.
Yeah, so were a million others.
You're looking for
excuses not to go home.
Yeah, but Hunter
murdered the two guys
who tried to collect
Khalid's drugs.
There's a connection.
Has anything come
back on the motorbike?
Not yet.
So we have no physical evidence
that proves Hunter
did kill Yasser or Rizk.
And if he did and if there
is a connection as you say,
it will still be there
in the morning.
So where are you
with Abdullah Zereni?
We've got a detention warrant.
We're holding him overnight.
Should get the prints back
off the gun in the morning.
Right. So you've got
no reason to be here.
So why don't you go
home to your family
before you become a stranger?
Boss, with all due respect,
I'm sick of being told how
to manage my private life.
An officer with a screwed-up
marriage is no good to me.
Their judgment's poor,
behavior's irrational,
so go home.
[Doorbell rings]
[Down-tempo jazz music playing]
Wow. You look beautiful.
You look important.
[Chuckles]
So how was your...
How was my, uh...
How was my what?
No idea what I was gonna say.
[Glasses clink]
So, tell me what we're in for.
Well, phase one, 2000 hours,
predinner drinks
in the anteroom.
Phase two, 2030,
dinner is served.
Phase three, postdinner
drinks and entertainment.
- That's a lot of phases.
- Mm.
Here's a plan.
Let's skip phase one.
Okay.
It's just...
It's been a long time for me.
Quite a long
time, actually, so...
- I can stop if you like.
- No, it's just...
You forget.
Then let me find the
places that need reminding.
[Gasps]
Thanks, mate.
I brought you some food.
You've got to eat.
What are you?
My family's Iraqi.
Heard you lost your parents.
You think I killed them too?
What happened?
They burned to death.
They put their
house up for sale.
Someone thought we
were selling to Jews.
And that the fire of hell
was their punishment.
The irony is that they
were selling to Palestinians.
Someone made a mistake.
- How old were you?
- 16.
One day I had family,
the next, no family, no home.
Just pain.
I'm sorry.
Some things you can't control.
You know, in this
country, if you're an Arab,
you've got to work
hard for acceptance,
to gain respect, trust.
But you can always
control your actions.
You think I killed
Helen and Eli?
That'll be for a jury to
decide based on the evidence.
I stood in queues
at checkpoints,
wishing I had a gun
to blow them all away.
I threw rocks at their tanks.
What good does that do?
I wanted to make a difference.
Helen gave me that chance.
Why would I want to hurt her?
[Cellphone ringing]
[Ringing stops]
TRAVIS: Just... look...
Just sit tight. I'll
be there, okay?
I've got to go out.
Where are you
going? Who was that?
It's an old mate.
Needs some help.
- Well, what about your boys?
- Just look after them, will you?
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
[Siren wailing in distance]
We used to call it
touching the breath of God.
- In God we trust.
- Yeah.
It was a mistake.
Do you remember
the bridge, Travis?
You and me and the Big K?
Pinned by a hundred
Iraqis, we band of brothers.
Let it go, Sterling. It's over.
It's done. Just tell
me what happened.
She was a nice
girl, the manager.
"Have to let you go," she said.
- So you got fired again?
- Yeah.
Do you know what
they had in that shop?
Along this one
whole wall, a mural,
of the Eiger.
The whole face of
the Eiger, in shadow.
I took a piss against it.
That's great, Jon.
I'm gonna turn it all around.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I got money coming in.
Yep, I'm gonna
mount an expedition.
No, I've got people
interested, you know?
I've got investors.
We will go set it up,
and then you and
me... The Eiger.
I tell you what, you
get yourself right,
and that's what we'll do.
But we'll leave a rope, yeah?
When we cross the traverse.
- That's right.
- Or there's no way back.
- There's always a way back.
- Not without a rope.
- Then we'll leave a rope.
- But we didn't.
Did we?
- Did we?
- Listen to me, Jon.
Listen. I'm gonna get
you some help, okay?
- I'm gonna get you help.
- No, I'm past help. I'm fucked.
I'm fucked up.
Beyond redemption. FUBAR.
- It's not too late, Jon.
- Yeah.
[Sobbing] I wanted
God to take a breath.
I want...
I want... I wanted
God to take a breath.
[Sobbing] No!
No!
- You're not fucked.
- No?
- Do you know why?
- Why?
Because if you're
fucked, we're both fucked,
and I'm not gonna
let that happen.
Shh. Come here.
I'll get you some
help, all right?
I promise you. We'll
get you some help.
[Sobbing]
Shh.
We'll get you some help.
KOA: Hey. You sleep here?
ZANE: Yeah.
Amina called to see
if you were all right.
Got the print report
back on the gun?
No, but I got a trace.
Jewish volunteer guards.
Part pro, part
amateur organization.
They look after schools
and synagogues in the event
there's a potential threat
to the Jewish community.
What was Abdullah
doing with a gun
from a Jewish security company?
Well, he didn't.
David Solderman did.
It's David's gun?
Why am I only
hearing about this now?
Well, because the company
was giving me the runaround,
and you've been off the air.
You need to talk to Amina.
We've both seen couples
split up after a kid dies.
Don't let this happen to you.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hey.
What's he doing here?
He's got some footy
stuff for the boys.
I'll speak to you on the phone.
I ran into Sterling last night.
He's screwed.
Offline.
He needs help.
Gonna take some money.
I'll handle it.
There are all these things
you're not allowed
to do on Shabbat.
But lying to the
cops is okay, yeah?
David, that's a 9-millimeter
semiautomatic pistol.
It's licensed to Jewish
Volunteer Guards.
You ever seen
one of those before?
No.
According to them you borrowed
it, disregarding procedure,
two weeks before it was used
to kill your mother
and Eli Mordecai.
Your prints are gonna
be found all over this gun.
Would you like to
revise your statement?
My... My mother found
the gun in my room.
She hated the idea of
a weapon in the house.
Told me to get rid of
it or she'd give it to Eli
to dispose of.
KOA: What was the
gun doing in the house?
There was an Arab
living under our roof.
So you lived on the settlements
in Israel for how long, David?
Oh, here we go again.
Do you believe in
Israel's right to exist?
Were you weapons-trained
on the settlements?
Or do you think we should
just be pushed into the sea?
- Were you trained?
- Yes.
But I didn't shoot her.
Or Eli.
In the name of God, I didn't.
I was protecting my mother.
KOA: Did Abdullah know
the gun was in the house?
Maybe. He... He could
have looked in my room.
You had a loaded
gun in your room.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
She said, "You don't achieve
peace at the end of a gun.
Nothing good will come of it."
If I hadn't taken the
gun, she'd still be alive.
KOA: What are you
gonna do with him?
Illegal possession of
a firearm for starters.
Callas, can you
get onto forensics?
Tell them we need the
print results from the gun.
They're under a lot of
pressure down there.
And we're not? Go
kick some heads.
So who is he?
This mate that gets you out of
bed in the middle of the night?
He's just someone I served with.
In the army?
In Iraq.
Why'd you go to Iraq?
Seemed like a
good idea at the time.
Now what's this?
Got your wet suit ready?
[Camera shutter clicking]
Who's this?
She's pissed off.
Oh, my God.
It's the woman from the
armored truck company
from the robbery.
[Camera shutter clicking]
What the hell's she
doing with Ryan Hunter?
This is Kimberley Whyte.
She's 26 years of age.
Lives alone in Petersham.
Been employed by the armored
vehicle company for two years.
She's responsible for
scheduling all their security staff
on all money transfers.
Now, it's our belief that
someone in the company's
been leaking
information to the gang.
If Kimberley is our insider,
then her relationship
with Ryan Hunter
puts him in the gang.
ZANE: Hunter's
ex-navy, served in Iraq,
is highly trained in
weapons use and explosives.
It's our belief Hunter
murdered Yasser and Rizk
and tried to collect
the drugs and weapons
that Ashiq Khalid had
shipped from Afghanistan.
So Hunter and Khalid,
there's a connection there.
Did we get anything
off Hunter's bike?
It looks like it was
steam-cleaned before being sold,
but they're still working on it.
Surveillance just picked
up a call off Hunter's prepaid.
First voice is Hunter's.
HUNTER: She'll be fine once
she's on the plane out of here.
- MAN: Calm her down.
- She's fine.
I just need some
cash to get her out.
MAN: You keep her under control.
- We get a second number?
- LIM: Same deal as the first.
Prepaid, fake
address, fake name.
TRAVIS: We'll get a pass
alert on Kimberley's passport
apply for the usual warrants.
And any talk from the magistrate
regarding prejudicial
value outweighing probity,
then you remind them
this is a $36 million robbery
where four people died.
Five.
I kicked heads for you.
Forensics on David's gun.
They found prints that match
an assault case from last year.
An architect who was
attacked by a builder
who had an anger
management problem.
Angelis.
Yeah, I did a
company check on him.
He's been in and out of court.
Subcontractors filing
for unpaid contracts.
It looks like he was
waiting for Eli to pay him
so he could pay them.
Maybe he didn't want to wait.
Yeah, so he kills Eli for the
money and Helen to shut her up.
Let's go get him, then.
- Thanks, Callas.
- Yeah.
[Sirens wailing]
Mr. Angelis.
I want to ask you
a few questions.
Mr. Angelis!
You're under arrest
in relation to the deaths
of Eli Mordecai and
Helen Solderman.
KOA: One, two, three, up.
Anything you say can be
used in evidence against you.
Do you understand?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go.
If you ever need anything.
Shukran.
Did you distrust me so much
you had to bring a
gun into the house?
Our graveyards are full
of people who trusted.
And now there's two more.
Where will you go?
I have nowhere to go.
I'm just here to get my stuff.
KOA: All right. Cool, thanks.
Forensics got a
result on Hunter's bike.
Blood on the mudguard.
- Positive match for Jason Rizk.
- [Cellphone rings]
- Let's bring him in.
- Travis'll meet us there.
Yes, Callas?
We picked up another call
to Hunter's mobile phone.
El Hadary's called
him about the bike.
He's told him
we've confiscated it,
and he's demanding
his money back.
Shit! Hunter's
onto us. Let's go.
[Up-tempo instrumental

Police! Don't move!
- [Clicking]
- Drop your weapon!
- [Indistinct shouting]
- Shoot him!
Stovepipe stoppage, Hunter!
If you attempt
to rack, I will fire!
- KOA: Drop your weapon now!
- Shoot the prick!
- Shoot him!
- Be smart, Hunter!
Drop your weapon! Do it!
Ryan James Hunter, you're
under arrest for murder.
You do not have to
say or do anything,
but I'm warning you
anything you do say
will be recorded and later
used in evidence against you.
Do you understand me? Let's go.
TRAVIS: You're
in a lot of trouble,
'cause we've got your
motorbike at the crime scene
with the victim's blood on it.
And we've got your
weapon as the shooter
that took out Kasim
Yasser and Jason Rizk.
This brief's tightening
like a duck's ass.
Look like a couple of
towelhead drug dealers to me.
You should be thanking
whoever knocked them.
There was a time
I was sanctioned
to do that kind of work.
- Yeah, where was that?
- The asshole of the earth.
ZANE: I thought the role of
the military in the Middle East
was to suppress insurgency,
not to murder people.
Well, the public will
swallow anything, won't they?
Huh?
We know you phoned Mr. Yasser
the night before you killed him.
What was the conversation about?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Why did you kill these men?
Who gave you the
orders to shoot them?
How do you know Kimberley Whyte?
What can you tell
me about this man?
Or this man?
- You ever met him?
- No.
- So you don't know who this is?
- Never met him.
You think this is
done, don't you?
All right, charge him
with the attempted murder
of a police officer
and the murders
of Jason Rizk and Kasim Yasser.
- I want him for the robbery.
- We'll take what we can get.
Hey.
You know that stuff I said
that you were like Mahmoud?
Yeah, well, I was out of line.
No, you were right.
We should have discussed this.
Well, we didn't discuss
having Yasmeen, either.
But it happened.
And when it did,
we felt blessed.
I don't know if I
can do it, you know?
Not after Amir.
I felt the same way at first.
Yeah, but it's not gonna
change, you know?
Just...
Don't know if I can
be a father again
until I have closure, you know?
I just don't have
room in my heart for it.
When we had Amir and Yasmeen,
you found room in your
heart to love them both.
It'll be the same again.
You'll find the
love for a new child.
Things at work are
different, you know?
When I walk out
that door every day,
I don't know what's
gonna happen.
Can't even guarantee
I'll come back.
How long will this go on?
You want me to catch the
people who did this, don't you?
Not if it means losing
my whole family.
