SHE SCREAMS

Mary?
Shit. What is it?
Did she hang up?
Oh, I can't think.
I'm drunk. BEEPING
Shit. She's turned it off.
PHONE RINGING
Hilmarson? ON PHONE: You awake?
Yeah.
There's been a shooting at Silk 41. They say Brett Iles, OK?
Robin, he took Mary hostage.
Oh, shit. Where is she?
We don't know. She and the shooter left in a taxi.
She called a moment ago. Really?
It's just coming through.
The taxi's at Bondi Beach. Bondi?
I'll come and get you now. I'm not at home.
Where are you? Do you need a lift?
No, I'll leave now. Are you OK?
SHE RETCHES OK, shit. Here.
I can drive. No.
I can drive! No, you're drunk.
PHONE RINGS
Where is it?
Here.
Thank you.
Yes, are you there?
Yeah, ah, no-one saw what happened.
There are three police units, maybe four, and an ambulance.
The shooter's gone.
Who was hurt?
Who is in the ambulance?
Miranda, hello?
Hello? Is it flat?
Fuck.
Oh, come on. Fuck, fuck.

That guy Pyke?
Yes. The father.
He's gone to tell Mary's mother.
Her mother?
Yeah, I don't know her name.
I'm her mother.
She called me.
I know.
I gave birth to her.
Where is he?
He's gone.
He wanted to tell her before she heard about it on the news.
I'm drunk!
BREATHALYSER BEEPS
Well?
Yeah.
I told you.
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
Come on, ladies, you're making this very difficult.
Let's just get a simple and clear explanation
as to what happened, all right?
The boy. He come. He... he want Puss. He have a gun.
He... He tried to shoot.
Puss go and Mary here and... And then... He crazy!
Maybe one hour, he... He crazy! We didn't ask you ...
We didn't ask you what time.
We asked you who saw the gunman shooting. He's so crazy!
We all saw the girl, they working. Normal, normal day here.
I see on the monitor. I come in... Has Adrian left?
No, he's out the back with the security cam.
You're confusing me, ladies. Yeah, slow it down a little.
Just simple.
I can't figure it out. There's like 30 minutes missing.
They've deleted the footage and it's from all of the cameras.
Did you turn it off?
The camera. Did you turn it off?
No. Not me. I call the police.
That call came in 30 minutes after the shooting.
We've got it covered here, do you see that? That's the time.
Hey.
Babe, let me charge your phone.
I'll play back the shooting for you, Robin.
There's Mary.
OK, this.
This guy.
Where is he?
Oh, it's Bootie.
Yeah, where? Where is he?
Maybe in hospital.
Hey, he's not in a hospital, OK? So you moved him.
Did you move him? Put him in a bed somewhere?
No. Not here. Great.
Well, then, we've got a problem. We don't have a victim.
Hey, boss, it looks like somebody's woken up.
It's Mahlee!
Ah, she can't sleep.
Oh, my darling.
Where is it?
Joy, where's the room?
Joy, where is it?
Joy, what is the address?
In Sydney somewhere.
Puss knows street number. Where did Puss go?
He just left. He was the real target.
He take two best cat and gone, very quick.
We've got the footage of Alexander. Do you want to see that? Yes.
OK, we got a time on that?
Yeah, just up there.
So that places it five minutes after the gunman left with Mary.
God, she must be so scared.
Look at her. She looks so calm.
Can I play that back again? The end, please.
Sure.
Stop.
SIRENS WAILING
Jesus Christ, what's he doing here?
OK, Moynaugh, let's expand the crime scene
right back from where we've come, OK? That's a lot of tape.
Yeah, it is. Let's get some photos happening.
Oi, that creepy little shit. What was his name?
Brett. Iles.
We got a home address?
Yes. Ah, Hilmarson tried his mobile.
He's gone off-grid.
CAMERA CLICKS
Real fuckin' mess, this is.
WOMAN WHIMPERS
Sorry, ma'am. We need to preserve this for evidence.
Sorry, ma'am. Sorry.

Bernard. Evening, Ray.
WHISTLING
New customer?
Yeah, brothel shooting.
OK, let's put him straight into Op 1.
Robbie?
Ray.
I came in with the contractor.
I didn't think you'd still be here.
Well, I was awake. I was Skyping, so I came in.
What have you got?
Corpse.
Gun wound.
You all right?
Drunk.
Think I'm still drunk.
Actually, Ray, can... Can you just hold me?
Hey, Bernard, just fuck off for a minute, will you, mate?
Thanks.
All right, all right, all right. Love troubles?
Well, you've been having sex.
Are you asking or do you know?
HE SNIFFS
You can't smell it! HE CHUCKLES
No, really?
It's embarrassing.
Is it? No, no, no, it's lovely.
It is. Mm.
So it must be something else.
It'll be your daughter, eh?
Your beautiful girl.
She got to you, eh? Told you she would.
Oh, she's lovely, Ray.
I'm just crazy about her.
I'm her biggest fan.
Is she all right?
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey.
Now listen, bottom line...
she's not here, so she's alive.
As you are my queen, I am your servant.
I tell you, she is not going to die.
OK.
OK. I just need to look on the... the bright side.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do.
Ray, can I sleep here?
Just for an hour?
I'll sleep on the floor, OK?
KNOCKING AT DOOR
Shit, you gave me a fright. Has Mary rung?
No, nobody has.
She's asleep. Can you tell me what's up?
We don't do the hysteria parenting thing here.
I need to speak to Julia.
If you don't want me in the bedroom, wake her up.
Hey, Julia? Mm?
Hey, Jules. What is it? What happened?
Pyke, are you OK?
Pyke!
It's Mary?
What? What?
Apparently she's been taken hostage by some young guy with a gun.
Oh, God! So she's alive.
Is she alive? I don't know. I don't know.
Oh, no. Oh, Pyke. They're missing.
Hold on, let me check. Let me check if she called me.
Let me...
No, nothing. Um...
All right, someone needs to be at home in case she calls.
Ah, she, um, she tried to ring Robin.
She rang her? OK. OK, that's smart. That's good.
She's, um, she's a detective. Yeah.
TELEVISION: Overnight, a shooting at a brothel in the eastern suburbs
has left one man dead and another in a critical condition.
The young gunman, who it's believed has taken a sex worker hostage,
later shot a taxi driver at a Bondi Beach car park.
Police are warning people not to approach him...
Is that Mary? They're calling Mary a sex worker?
What the...?
..joins us now. Matt? Yes, hi, Georgie...
I'll call the school. You can't work today.
Ah, yes. ..putting together the details of a night
gone horribly wrong.
I'm your driver.
Adrian got Puss's number from Dang.
It's switched off - it's an old Nokia, no GPS.
BEEPING
You're sober. You look sober.
0.03.
I feel like shit.
Three buses will take us down to Bondi.
There, we'll off-load at Campbell Parade, taking up positions
and keeping as low a profile as possible.
At the moment, this is an observational exercise only.
He's around, guys. We have knowledge now that he has gun experience.
Apparently he was placed in the New South Wales under-21s
pistol shooting event.
Uh, does that mean he's carrying a pistol?
He may be. What we do know is he's used a sawn-off automatic shotgun,
most probably a Remington 870 Express Magnum cut down,
so look out for that.
He's also holding an 18-year-old female hostage.
Do we have a name?
Mary Edwards.
Has he made contact?
No. If he feels like me, he's sleeping, which is the point.
Now, the uniforms will sweep back from the beach towards
Old South Head Road.
So the beach is open?
Yes, Geoff, as you can see.
Oh, nice time-lapse, Sophie.
So, we've checked the north and southern rocks by helicopter
and sight swept the beach last night. So far, nothing.
It's going to be 35 degrees, so there's going to be a crowd.
We don't want to panic anyone, so here's the fun part.
20 of you are going uncovered, in beachwear,
watching all the access ramps.
Thommo, take us through the teams.
OK, Chief.
OK, guys, deployment teams are...
What are we looking at? ..Sizzla, you're with Badger...
This. Here. Mm-hmm.
Can you zoom in there? See this box?
Yep. On the right. OK. ..Got that?
Yeah, we had it cleared, not cleaned.
Is that a shoe?
OK, Amanda's in the TOU bus, which is just down by the lifeguard tower.
OK, people, if you're not one of the 20 on the list,
you're moving over to your right, pairing up. Please, be smart.
KNOCKING
Have a look at this.
Sophie's hacked into the live stream.
Give me a sec.
Oh, good girl, eating cereal.
OK, I've got control of the camera.
We still don't know where that fucking room is.
Dang said she's never been, but Puss knows.
Guys...I think they can see the camera moving.
Mahlee, it's Miranda.
Who?
Miranda.
Where are you? What's your address?
I've got a...
I've got a gift for you.
Shit!
I'm sorry, we've got to go.
We'll find her. We've got to go.
Has anybody heard from her?
No? Nobody's heard from her? No?
I'm sorry.
Can I give it a try?
I'm, um, Julia, Mary's mother.
This is difficult.
Um, I love Mary very much, but right now, I'm ...
I'm certain that you know her better than I do.
I know loyalty is very important to Mary, as I'm sure it is to you.
If you have secrets, you depend on each other to keep them, yes?
ASSEMBLY: Yes.
So I'm going to begin by sharing a secret with you.
Something very frightening has happened to Mary.
She is being held hostage by a gunman.
Is that the shooter at Bondi Beach? On the news?
It is.
Have you heard anything from her?
Have you received a text? Any of you?
ASSEMBLY: No.
Do you know a favourite place she might be?
A friend, that we might not know about? Anything? Anything at all.
OK, girls, back to class.
Julia...
I'm sorry.
Come on. Thank you.
Let's go.
OK, let's go from the F, OK? So we'll go after four.
One, two, three, four.
GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC
Up to the G.
Mrs Edwards! Mrs Edwards!
Cafe Stasi.
We used to go there after school. It's really weird.
That's where she met Puss.
Maybe he even works there, I don't know.
We could never figure it out.
But Mary would play chess with him.
Thank you. Thank you.
Uh, Cafe...
Stasi. It's on Liverpool Street.
Liverpool.
We will find her.
OK.
I had sex with her dad.
We got drunk and...
Am I crazy?
No.
No, you're pulling it together.
Right.
Where's Wally?
Rob. Hey.
Liam, hi.
Hey, I've been looking for you all morning.
Why haven't you answered my calls?
Sorry, I've been busy.
It's Mary they're talking about, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Any news? No, nothing yet.
Uh, Detective Sergeant?
Boss is asking for you.
OK, call you later.
Got to go. See ya.
Contact me, yeah?
Like, you have to.
No, I want you to hold that position. Now, we've searched
from the beach all the way back to Old South Head Road and
we've checked the garages and the laneways there
and the result was negative.
OK, copy that.
I think he's here. On the beach.
It's the perfect hiding place.
All he needs is a T-shirt, a pair of shorts.
Sophie, get me the box.
The time-lapse footage, yeah?
Yes. I want to locate it.
Oh, yeah, the box again.
OK, listen up, all units. I'm moving the alert rating to high.
Get in as close as you can and get me a printout.
OK, will do.
Right, well, I'm either pissed or I need glasses.
What is that, a beer carton? Craft beer?
I'm going out.
Not in uniform you're not.
KNOCKING
He says he's here to see Griffin.
He's all right. Let him in.
Hey, Rob. Brought you these.
Uh, anyone else?
No, mate.
Actually I need a change of clothes.
Um, I'll need your shirt and, um...
Righto. Yeah, and I'm going to need your shorts.
No worries.
Chill out, mate.
I'm not getting my dick out.
Thank you. Uh...
I'll call you, as soon as I hear anything.
Yeah, yeah. Uh...appreciate that.
It should be down there.
Stally to Griffin.
It's Griffin. Yeah, g'day Robin.
Hey, if you do find that case of beer of yours,
make sure you bring us up a six pack.
They're yours, Stally.
Thank you.
Base, sending you a pic. Person of interest near the flagged area.
Got eyes on me?
The suspect's flat out on his back, wearing boxer shorts.
T-shirt covering his face.
Do I have permission to approach?
No, no, no, you'll need assistance.
Griffin, Hilmarson, are you in that sector?
Got eyes on him. One minute.
Yeah, that's the image there, sir.
Can you zoom in a little on that?
Permission to approach?
Do you have assistance? Check.
All right, go ahead.
We're police, stay down.
Hey, what's going on? Negative. No match.
Continuing to sweep south.
Heading north, Sizzla. You got anything?
No, nothing here.
Robin. Robin.
Adrian, we've located what could be the box.
I'm going out there.
Hold your hands up. I can't see you.
Yeah, yeah, I've got you. All right, clear it, but take it easy.
Griffin, we've got backup coming.
Hello, Eastern Coast Police.
I need you to clear the area, please, immediately.
Immediately, thanks so much.
Clear the area, please. Thank you very much.
Clear the area, please.
Thank you.

Why, what's going on?
Please clear the area immediately. Thank you.
Going to need you to pack your things up now. Now.

You don't want me here, I'll go. I...
What are you doing? Ah, just calling your dad.
Don't, Mum. Don't. Put it down.
I have to, please. I have to call the police, Mary.
Put it down.
Can we sit down and you tell me what happened?
No, if I told you what happened, you wouldn't listen.
You'd get hysterical.
I want to learn. I'll learn.
I can learn.
I mean, I want to know how to speak to you.
I'm... That's blood.
It's blood, isn't it? Are you cut?
No, it's the taxi driver's blood.
Oh, what? What, what? Nothing.
What? Nothing, I just... What?!
What you've been through and I... No, I'm going to change.
I'm going to change and wash before I go out... OK, OK.
I don't care what you do. Please, please, just don't leave.
No! I already told you.
I already told you that I can't stay.

TV: Two people are dead and two left critically injured as a day
of tragedy unfolded across the city and onto Bondi Beach.
In a dramatic end to a police pursuit, a gunman shot
a female police officer before being subdued and taken into custody.
A schoolgirl hostage is safe and unharmed. In other news...
Adrian, what?
Not good.
Not really good.
HE SNIFFS
So Mary turned up?
Yeah. It's great. I just... I wish she'd call.
Do you want to see her?
Yeah.
MONITORS BEEP
Hey, beautiful.
I'm telling everyone.
I want our families to know that we love each other,
and I'll take whatever comes.
HE SNIFFS
Will you cover for me?
Phone Mahlee and offer her whatever she wants.
This baby means everything. Call me and I'll come.
I've just got to get her through tonight. Yes, of course.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Please. Please live.
Please.
DOOR CLOSES Julia, you there?
Her passport's gone.
Mary's? Yes, Mary's. I should have stopped her.
Why didn't I stop her leaving?
Because you trusted her.
Look, she needs your confidence to step outside the family home
and into her independent life.
Where's my phone?
It's the beginning of every hero myth.
Find me my phone!
Leaving home, the village. Of course she faces obstacles, we all do.
God.
She just let her leave? Where is she now?
With Puss?
So this is where they met?
Yeah.
No sign of him?
No, but she's OK. That's the main thing.
How's your partner?
Critical. She was shot in the abdomen.
It's a good sign.
TEXT ALERT
Oh, shit, I've gotta go.
What?
Mary's passport's missing.
Julia's at home. She's frantic.
Shit.
Has Mary got money?
Um, no.
I... I don't... Maybe he does. I'll call you, OK?
Do you have to go?
I think so. I'm sorry.
Where's Mary?
Where the fuck is she going?!
I'll take that, thank you. Go to your mum.
Look, Mary is 18 years old and in love.
She does whatever she likes.
So do I.
Argh! Argh!
You pimped my daughter!
Argh! Argh!
Oh, you crazy bitch!
You almost got her shot!
That idiot, he was trying to shoot me. I was the target.
He thought I killed his prostitute.
Argh!
No, what did he ever do for her? Fuck her, that's all.
I am the one that tried to help Cinnamon.
Day after day I try to talk sense into her and then one day I gave up.
I told her, work it out for herself. Stop wasting my time.
Live, die, do what you like.
Silly bitch go hung herself.
And put herself in a suitcase?
Yes, well, no, they did that.
It's clumsy but now look what happened.
I'm arresting you.
I tried to help the girl. Don't you hear me?
Where's the apartment with the surrogates?
The one with the security screen. I want Mahlee.
I want Mahlee with the panda.
Yes, well, no, they are all together.
Are you their boss?
Boss? Come on, no, I'm not their boss.
I try to help them. Here, you go.
Go take a look.
Has it not ever occurred to you?
What?
That you are a surrogate, too.
Wait. Come on. Come on.
Come on, wait.
Wait.
Here, East Wind Apartments. It's in Darlinghurst.
You're wrong...about Mary.
She's not in love.
She's scared of you.
I think she hates you.
SIREN WAILS
What the fuck?
The surrogates called their parent couples to meet 'em here.

No, no. Not for you.
Worrying me like that all day, huh?
What is it, you hate me now. Is that correct?
What's the matter? Are you scared of me?
I could have been shot.
No, I was the target.
You haven't been hurt, huh? Not a single hair.
You shut the lift on me.
Oh, come on.
It closed, OK? The door closed.
Come on, you spoiled bitch.
Get on the plane! What about the babies?
What? Who's going to love them?
They are - the people who pay for them, you know?
The people who made them. They will...
SHE YELLS Hey! Oww!
Mary, relax!
CARAMEL: Mary!
Get in the plane!
Good evening. Please sit down, be comfortable.
I will be your host.
My name is not important, and neither, of course, is yours.
Every second, 4.3 babies arrive
through a vagina onto this planet.
Soon, your babies will be arriving,
but not through your vaginas.
For too long, the West has exploited the poor
and improvised women of Asia.
Girls as young as 12 years old
are sold as virgins to gratify the appetite of the wealthy.
I'm going to the airport. But what sort of life is that, huh?
Fucked to feed? Come on.
And now you all want to grow your vile DNAs,
your precious little babies inside
the slave wombs of enslaved women,
too poor to choose. But...
..just one of these little bundles of happiness
will bring enough money
to support a whole village in the Third World
for years and years to come.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
The tide has turned.
Your babies have flown away,
and now it's your turn to cry.
Is he saying they've left?
Mate, stop this. This is theft.
These are our babies.
Dan, what's the legal situation with a surrogate gone Awol? It's our DNA.
You're the police, call the airport and detain them.
This is kidnapping. They're our babies.
No.
No, actually, legally, the babies belong to them.
How? How is that possible?!
Their bodies, their wombs.
What's inside them belongs to them.
It's the law.
FELICITY CRIES I can't...

Robin Griffin.
Hey, it's me. Good news.
I have Mary.
Really? Yeah.
We're just driving back from the airport now.
Why don't you drop on by?
May I? Yeah. WHISPERS: Is that OK?
She's very tired, Pyke.
Yeah, yeah, we'll be there in ten minutes. Just come on by.
OK. OK, thanks, bye.
So, you did come. She's asleep.
She actually just nodded off. Hey.
Come in.
You want a drink or something? No, thanks.
You sure? Water? Tea?
I want to see Mary, but if I'm disturbing her...
No, no. No. Come on. Come on, have a look in.
Yeah, I'll take you through.
Get her some water, Pyke.
She gave me the biggest hug at the airport.
She said, um...
"You're my mum...
"and I really need you."
I think it's unlocked something in me, you know?
In us.
Now I'm crying again.
Um... You, um...
You really stepped up during our troubles, and I want to thank you.
Thank you.
Really, thank you.
You, ah...
You helped us get some balance back again into our family.
Um, I've...
I've asked Pyke to give me two months.
We've been through hell this last year,
and I think we owe it to ourselves.
Oh, no, thanks. I have an appointment.
There is one thing.
I wanted to borrow the birthday DVD of little Mary.
Yeah. OK.
Ah, that's our only copy, isn't it?
You know what, I'll pick it up as soon as she's finished.
When are you watching it?
Tonight.
