You're going to make ten
times as much as you do now?

Yeah. Yeah. Sounds
too good to be true.

So how did you go?

He's in, I reckon.

I can arrange anything you want.

I'm like Sam's lieutenant.

Ah, fuck. Look out.
Here she comes.

Charlie's Angels.

Apparently Johnny went from
doorman out in Parramatta

to owning three clubs in
the Cross in a heartbeat.

Maybe he won lotto.



Liz Doyle. She made
contact with you yet?

She's looking at me.

She's also pretty interested
in you, and your mates.

- Where's Sammy?
- He's busy.

Stop!

Sam, people rely on us now.

I need you here.

I used to really think

he was one of the
best people I know,

and now he's just
a fucking cockhead.

People respect you Sam,
because you're not like this.

You know when I was a kid I
would've followed you anywhere.

Pick up.

Sam.



Hey bro, was just
coming to see you.

What are you doing?

You want to go get
something to eat?

Hit the gym after.

No man, fuck off!

Right oh, I was just
seeing if you wanted to.

Get off the bloody road.

You don't own the joint, mate!

Hold on a minute.

Hang on.

Jesus Christ! Come on man.

I can't go through
this again, please.

Here you are.

Take it.

He's a different
person when he's on it.

He scares me.

Oh fuck. He kicked this
guy's windscreen in

just because he honked
his horn at him.

- He ever off it?
- I don't know.

Did you go to the apartment?

I did, yeah. I knocked.
He didn't answer.

And how hard you'd
fucking knock?

Listen, I like the guy.

Okay, I do, but
I'm not banging on

any more doors or approaching
him when he's like this.

I'll get flogged. Fuck that.

It's okay. I get it.

I'm worried about him, John.

I'm really worried about him.
It's not going to end well.

I'll sort it.

Keep your fucking hands off her.

All right mate, relax.

I'm helping her pay her bills.

No touching. It's
the fucking rules.

All right. Hey Dave,
relax. Sit down.

Sit down. Have a drink.

It's on me.

Come on, sit here.

Okay, rum and coke.
Drink of champions.

You don't get two punchy
on the rum now do we?

So what do you reckon?

She a big bitch.

She got a cock?

I mean she, she's hot.

Look at her, I'd pot her.

You know her.

- Yeah.
- Ahh.

Simone.

- Simon?
- Simone.

Oh, oh, right, Simone.

Yeah.

I'm only pulling your leg.

Good on you.

Nah, fuck, good on you.

Like he's off his fucking head.

You understand what I'm saying?

Like he doesn't give
a fuck about anybody,

about the rules, nothing.

He just walked in
off the street,

fucking off his chops and
took the gear and the cash.

Is that for me?

Yeah, sure, but I'm telling you,

if you don't get this
fixed by next week,

you're not going
to see half this.

I'm not fucking
making this up, Ezra.

Something has to be done.

To who?

Go on, say his name.

He's going to fucking ruin us.

Us?

Okay. What do we do?

Fucking hell, Ezra!

If I have to sort this
fucking shit myself,

why do I need you?

Osmon, we're going to
put the kettle on, mate.

How are those chickens
going down there?

Okay, thanks Joey.

Did you know that the black
one with the white thing?

That's, that's
the only cockerel.

Did you see him though?

He's got that funny,
cute little head.

- He's serious?
- Yeah.

Who the fuck do you
think you are talking to?

You can't talk to him like that.

Make no mistake about it, mate.

He'll have someone
cut your throat,

and he won't lose a
wink of fucking sleep.

Now he's given you
the real estate,

the keys, the authority to a
business that makes more money

than anything we do here.

But it's your business Joey.

Remember that?

Yeah, you want to
straighten this out.

You know what you got to
do? Go talk to his brother.

I don't give a flying fuck

what you got or how you sell it.

I've only got one rule.

Whenever I want something
you hand it over.

Whenever I need cash,
give me as much as I want.

How much is that, Sam?

Is there like a,
you know, a cap?

As much as I want,
means as much as I want.

There's no cap.

You don't like it,
you go fuck yourself.

How's Joey Romano
going to react?

Joey Romano can go fuck himself.

Oi!

What the fuck do you
think you're doing?

I've got the green
light from Sam.

- Did you?
- Yeah.

Oh, you want me to piss off?

- Yes please.
- Yeah. Yeah.

What are we doing here?

Sam Ibrahim!

- Yeah?
- He's lost his fucking mind.

He's letting drug dealers run
all over the fucking street.

Fucking my business.

And what do you want
us to do about it?

Get him off the fucking street.

Shut him down. Fuck
him off. I don't know.

This is fucking unfair.

I'm not sure unfair is a
word that you should be using

given the enterprise that you're
in and with whom you assoc...

I'm doing exactly what I've
been fucking told to do.

That prick does whatever
the fuck he wants,

and no one's lifting a finger.

Right, well, we'll note your
grievances in your file.

Hey, he is a total
fucking liability.

He will fuck all of
us, you included.

So to clarify, you would
like us to step away

from our regular duties to help
you with a personal matter?

Fucking hell.

How much?

Definitely a few notches
above the usual, I'd say.

If you want a
priority escalation.

Fuck!

Are you missing Perth?

Yeah. I miss Penny
and the girls.

Shannon and Elwyn?

- Erin.
- Ah.

You close.

- How about yourself?
- What do you mean?

- Anyone you miss?
- No.

Well, my mum, but whenever
I'm there we fight like stink.

We're much better at distance.

They're not even trying to
conceal what they're doing.

Ah, there's not a cop in sight.

Should we get to work?

Jack the price up
by 75, all right?

I won't get no customers, bro.

- You'll get 'em. Just do it.
- All right.

Hey, what the fuck? I
got a right to be here.

- I paid...
- Kings Cross Taskforce, mate.

You want to come take a
step inside the vehicle?

No, I fucking wouldn't.

Yeah, it was more of an
instruction than a request.

- Let's go.
- Hey Luke! Leave him.

We have an urgent message.
We have to return to base.

Urgent!?

The legislation passed the
upper house this evening,

and the letters patent
have been delivered.

Which means we've got
a green light, people.

Thunderbirds are Go!

We are permitted to carry
firearms and, here it is...

We have been "conferred
with the powers

"of a constable of the New
South Wales Police Service".

And listen to this...

"Lying to or misleading the
Commission is an offence

"carrying a custodial
sentence of 18 months jail".

Anyone got any champagne?

When do the hearings
start, Doug?

At the Commissioner's
pleasure, Doyle.

So you better make sure

you got all your
ducks in a row ASAP.

Oh my God.

Congratulations Liz.

Get in.

Fuck me!

Who the fuck are youse?

Fuck me, you busted my skull.

What happened to our deal?

Tien, how you doing?

I see you employing
your own runners,

and from what I hear,
they're kicking up to Sam.

No, no, no, no.

All right. I spoke to him, he
went for it. He's gone rogue.

He's copping protection from
dealers that were already there.

That's not what we discussed.

The runners were
supposed to be my guys,

and you kick up to me.

You took our plan
and cut me out.

No, no, no, I didn't. I didn't
take nothing. All right.

I was going to
come speak to ya...

What did you think
would happen? Hmm?

I was always going to find out.

Did you think, what?

Because I'm a woman that
there'll be no consequence.

Please, please. It's just Sam,
he can't be reasoned with.

He listens to no one. He's
a fucking loose cannon.

Put an eye out.

Please, please. Look, I know
there's something coming.

All right, it's the
Police Taskforce

or some shit like that.

All right, they're going
after all the crims

and the corrupt jacks
paying them off.

It's going to change everything.

I swear to fucking God,
I spoke to these people.

A woman.

A woman.

All right.

She's got a hard on
for the corrupt jacks.

We all got bigger
problems than this.

No. Wait.

Hey, wait, wait, wait
wait. Please, please.

Go on.

Fuck off.

Give us a lift
back to the Cross?

I don't think we should be
sticking our noses down there,

if it's all about to
get turned upside down.

Why do we give a fuck huh?

We're not paying the cops.

Fuck this lady. She's
not looking at us.

We'll draw attention
to ourselves.

Listen, if this
thing's going to happen

then the Cross is wide open.
We don't need to sneak in.

We need to take it.

It's a mistake.

We need to wait
until it settles.

See who's still standing.

And what? Give
them a head start?

We go in hard and
we put our flag up.

Fuck.

What the fuck do you want?

I just want to give
you some free advice.

You need to pull
your head in, mate.

Listen, you keep
pulling that shit

like you did on the Lasers job.

You're going to get
fucking locked up.

Sam. It's time to get off the
gear and clean yourself up.

Hopefully your brother

can talk some fucking
sense into you,

or maybe your mum.

Don't mention my family, cock.

Get over yourself for fuck sake.

You're a fucking
disgrace to your family.

You got a family too, yeah?

That a threat?

See this?

That's my family.

And there are way more of
us than there are of you,

and we get to carry
these things around.

So you ever mention
my family again,

and you're a fucking dead man.

I'm going to have a
line. You want one?

Hey, mate, how's it going?

Hey, why the fuck you
keep paging me for?

You okay?

Yeah, what do you want,
what the fuck do you want?

Let's, um, let's
talk outside, huh?

Come on.

- Where you been?
- Where have I been?

Fucking nowhere, been
here the whole time.

You understand what's going
on at the moment, right?

With the Royal Commission?

They're here to bring
down this whole place,

the jacks, the gear, all of it,

and the way you are acting

is making it really hard
to go unnoticed, Sam.

Yes, sir.

This is heat we don't need.

That's what you wanted
to talk to me about, huh?

You just want to pull my head
in, so it doesn't affect you.

Are you fucking listening to me?

- Yeah.
- But you don't think,

do you actually not see it or
are you just too fucking high?

Look around, the new
heads, the new cops,

we're being watched and you
keep going the way you're going,

you're going to fuck up
everything that we've built.

"We've?"

You're only here because of me.

If you find my brother,
tell him I want to see him.

Sammy, it's good to see you.

Good to see you.

Girls, it's Sammy!

Sammy's here!

I'll get you a beer, matey.

Here you go, fella.
Where you been?

Eh, where you been?

How the hell are you doing?

Here he is, public
enemy number one.

Doyle, O'Neill.

You want to hop in
for a second, Bryan?

I would've thought they'd
given you an office.

We're not exactly conducting
interviews in the back seat,

we're just booking them.

I gathered, but yeah, talk
to me anytime you want.

Well, how about now?

I'm flat out today,

but so I can give you
guys what you need,

what are you after?

That should be pretty obvious
given the press we've got.

Corruption, yeah, I get that.

I don't know if I've got
anything to add to that.

I mean, beyond the
small understanding

we have with local crooks
to elicit information.

And how are they conducted,
the misunderstandings?

They give us information
and we don't book them

for every small fuck up,
we keep them in play.

It's the Cross, mate, it's
how it's always been done.

Is that what you're after?

You're definitely getting
warmer, Detective Crellan.

You call me to set up
a formal interview.

I don't know how I can help you

beyond what I've
told you, but sure.

You know, you should be aware,

that we've been watching and
listening for a long time

and your name has been mentioned

in dispatches from time to time.

Good-o.

Ladies.

How do you get that cocky?

Oh, when you've had your
hand in the cookie jar

your whole life, and no one's
kicked you up the arse for it.

- Cloudy now.
- Here he comes.

Look at that.

- Hey, Bryan.
- Tones.

All right?

- We've got a problem.
- Oh yeah?

Doyle, she's fucking all
over me and just told me,

that she has been for a while.

She's really
fucking tall, right?

Mate, she's a dog with a bone

and we need to do
something about it.

I like tall people.

Fuck's sake, Ezra, the
target is us coppers,

but also everyone
that's assoc...

Hello, darling.

I'll call you back, I'll
call you back, sweetheart.

All right, love you too, bye.

The target is us coppers,

but also everyone
we're associated with,

and that means you, all of you.

So you need to fucking lean
on your political connections

and make her go the fuck away.

We are not associates.

Okay.

She's not happy, is he?

I know.

He's going to get a ticket
if he drives like that.

Well, for what it's
worth, I think he's wrong.

I think this is all about the
cops and who's getting a feed.

I think that's who they want.

I don't think it's got
anything to fucking do with us.

Yeah, you might be right.

If I choose to, I can take
this market from you by force.

By force, you say?

I have the numbers.

You didn't let me
into your boys' club,

you kept me out of the Cross.

If you want a life
after the investigation,

it will only happen
if you cut ties

with the ones who
can take you down,

the ones you've partnered with.

Look, why don't you just
go back to Cabramatta?

I'm not from Cabramatta.

Really?

I'm from Vietnam.

Very different.

Mama.

Where is she?

Mama.

I'm doing this
for us, all of us.

Quick, go to the bedroom.

No, no, no, lock the door.

Where's Mum?

Mama!

Come out.

Sam.

What the fuck you
scaring her for?

Shat yourself, huh?

Was a bit loud for ya?

Cute vest.

Does it come in men's?

What are you doing?

You used to laugh
at clowns like this,

now you're one of them?

Ooh, fucking hell!

Don't you know who this is?

You know who that is? Yeah.

All right, in you go boys.

Here we go. Here we
go boys. Come on.

Let's have a good time, we're
here to have a good time.

Cheers, brother.

Back again, couldn't
help yourself, eh?

Yeah.

How long's she got?

About an hour.

Yeah, well, I'd give
her an early mark, mate.

Not with this bunch.

I don't want to see you
defending your girlfriend

or whatever, against this lot.

They're all fucking pigs.

Take this, come see me tomorrow.

I've got something for you.

Thank you, brother.

Ezra, you told me it was
my problem, to fix it.

I can't, he's joined
a fucking bikie gang.

There's millions of them,
they're fucking everywhere,

and they're doing whatever
the fuck they want,

- and he's the one...
- No, no, no.

That's fucking green-lighting
the whole thing.

No, wait, wait, Sam dressed
head to toe in black leather.

That's quite a turn on.

I mean, no, no, no, that's it.

Ezra this is not fucking
funny, you think this is funny?

- It's fucking chaos.
- Hey, ssh!

And it's only
going to get worse.

Who the fuck do
you think you are?

Keep your fucking
voice down, Joey.

- Quiet.
- All right.

All right, we all know
what has to happen.

If this wasn't him, if
this was anybody else,

they'd already have
been dealt with.

It's quite a call
you're making though.

Ah, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not making a fucking...

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, mate, ssh!

- No, fuck that.
- Ssh!

I'm not making a fucking
call and I'm not doing...

That's why I came
to see you, Ezra.

- Shazza.
- Ezra.

Do you have carrot juice?

We do.

And can you leave the pulp in?

Thank you, Shazza.

Ezra, please.

You've got to do something

or we may as well
both fucking retire.

I don't know, it's a
lot of men loyal to him,

a lot of fucking nutters.

Yeah.

- Could be mayhem.
- Thanks, Shaz.

It's not him I'm worried about.

It's his fucking brother.

I love you.

It's that hard to say, is it?

No.

No one else here
though is there?

Hey, it's okay.

I love you too.

I'm going to get
you out of here.

Out of where?

This life.

I don't want to share you,

I don't want you
fucking anyone else.

This place is fucking horrible.

Right.

Can we come in?

Yeah, yeah. If you want.

All right?

Right.

Uh, what's all this about?

So he's a, uh...

A bikie now?

Yeah. Black Flag.

Fuck's sake.

You want a coffee?
Cake? Something?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No?

No, no, no.

- Sit down?
- Yep.

This is...

gorgeous, Johnny.

Really?

He's hurting business, John.

Ours, yours, everyone's.

It's not good.

I'm going to ask you, honestly.

Why do you think he's
behaving this way?

Sam is Sam.

Does what he wants.

But see,

I know you know the truth

and you are smart enough
to know how this ends.

I don't know what you mean.

The coke.

He's off his fucking
tree. He's out of control,

and it's dangerous. Right?

For everyone, including himself.

And if he doesn't stop.

And he's not going to
stop by himself, is he?

If you stop wiping his arse,
he's going to end up in jail.

That might be the
best thing for him.

Give him a chance
to clean himself up.

- You done?
- Hey?

Both of you, are you finished?

Yeah.

My brother is my brother.

His battles are my battles.

That means, if you make
a move against him,

you make a move against me.

You understand?

- Well, here we are then.
- Here we are.

You need to consider this.

For him, and for yourself.

Because he don't give a fuck.

What do you reckon?

I don't know.

It's fucking risky.

Look, they won't
be back tonight.

We can hit 'em now.

Right through
there, that window.

Nah, fuck that.

I'm not robbing drugs
from these guys.

It's not drugs, it's cash.

The drugs are there.
The cash is there.

Do you know that?

Look, I take the drugs
from there for the switch.

So the cash is there too.

Got it?

Cash?

Yes, fucking cash. Ugh.

Think about it.

Me and you. We're in
the same boat, yeah?

Fuck, I can't even wipe my arse

without asking
Hamish's permission.

He's got his hand in my
pocket for every earn I make.

This one's fucking mine.
This one's ours, yeah?

Huh?

We can do whatever we want.

It's in there. On
a silver platter.

You little fucking beauty.

Um, Simone, the girl I'm seeing.

Simon.

I, I'm in love with her.

Okay. That's great mate. I'm
really fucking happy for ya.

Why the fuck are you
telling me this now?

Well, 'cause she's on the hammer
and I want to get her clean,

get her out.

I can move out of Gran's place.

Get us a place of our own.

Johnny,

he doesn't know any of this.

Doesn't know about Simone.

I can't take her
anywhere with the boys.

Can't take her to dinner.
Can't take her anywhere.

They'd laugh at me.

Laugh at her. Be a joke.

Hey.

This, is your chance
to get her out of it.

Hey no, we don't need that.

Never leave home without it.

Come on.

Shh, shh.

Fuck it.

Jesus.

Go look over there.
I can't see shit.

Go! Jesus!

Go!

Go, go, go, go, go.

I can't believe you
fucking shot him!

What the fuck was
I supposed to do?

You said he wouldn't
be back tonight.

I was wrong!

We're fucked. Do
you know that?

- We're fucked.
- We're fine.

I think I got him in
the leg. We'll be fine.

We're not fine! You didn't
shoot him in the legs.

You shot him in the neck!

Fuck! Fuck!

He just lost too much blood.

Who was it?

They were in balaclavas.

One of them had a limp.

I've seen it before.

A Black Flag.

I know him too.

Ibrahim. He's a
Black Flag now.

It's John.

You know who this is.

Yeah, I know who this is.

What do you want? I'm busy.

Your brother came at us tonight.

What are you talking about?

We're going to come after you.

All of you.

Well, you know where to find us.

Is this all we have?

Boys are clearing the street.

Where the fuck's Dave?

I don't know.

Shit, hey. Everyone's
here tonight.

Evening fellas.
It's good timing.

Could have been here
a few minutes ago.

CBD Drug Squad, my friend.
Hands behind your back.

For fuckin' what?

Jesus! Could be for
a lot of things.

This time it's for
distribution and facilitation

of a commercial
amount of cocaine.

Go fuck yourself, Pete.

Throw him in the
car. Make it hurt.

Let's go mate.

Hey fellas. Just...
