I want to spend more time with my mother. I think she's broke.
If you do anything to hurt her, you'll have me to deal with.
(SHOUTING)
We have three fatalities and three critically injured.
Who was shot first? The daughter.
We love you, Amy. And now she's in intensive care.
Take back our city!
Jack McCarthy, the self-appointed leader of The Brotherhood.
He's hired a storage unit. The guns are probably there.
You'll never see the light of day, asshole. You're dead.
We have to find a way to engage him sooner.
Well, maybe I could start the conversation.
This person has a very specific reason for what they are doing,
and I'm listening.
Hello, Jane. We'll talk soon.
21-year-old Amy Kelleher, the latest shooting victim,
clings to life in a critical condition
at Melbourne's Mercy Hospital.
Floral tributes continue to grow across the city for the young lives
caught in the attack. There you go.
Police today issued warnings against the...

Hi, Jason. I just need to get the records...
We'd like to book you in for a CT...
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hi, can we please get a doctor to Room 7?
(INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
I heard that the...
The patient has been prepped and she's ready to go.
Great. Thank you. Thank you. Hey.
Hey, Mrs Kelleher. Any change?
No. Amy's strong.
She'll come through.
Well, she's got the entire city on her side.
Yeah.
Look, I know it's only been a couple of days, but is there anything else
you remember from that night? Anything at all? Nothing.
It's OK.
(SIGHS)
I'll be back in a sec. Yep.
Yes, that's good. Our visiting hours are...
Excuse me? Excuse me, sir?
Hey!
(PANTING)
He covered his tracks the whole way through the hospital
with the fritzing device, just like he's done before.
No-one was watching the monitors? Well, hospitals have limited
funding when it comes to security.
Erin, what about the cops on the floor?
Nothing. No, we shut the whole place down.
We searched floor by floor. Not a trace.
Yeah, we reviewed the CCTV of the carpark. Nothing there.
The flowers, they look like a servo job to me.
Doc?
Occam's razor.
Simplest explanation. Flowers say "I'm sorry."
Why take a risk like that just to apologise?
Or maybe he went there to finish her off, then left when he saw
the guard at her door? No, he's meticulous.
He would know she was guarded.
I think it was vital to him that he apologise.
It's straightforward, sincere.
Or he's just flipping us the bird, letting us know he can get close
to whoever he wants without being detected.
No, I'll put money on an apology.
It shows things are getting out of hand.
He's rattled.
Sniper uses a Barrett model 98B rifle. You sell it to him?
Behh! No.
Oh, OK then.
(LAUGHS)
Why would we believe you?
I don't deal weapons, I acquire them. I don't sell them.
It'd be worth a lot of cash, your collection.
No shit, Sherlock. I'm careful with my money.
Where do you get your money from if it's not selling guns?
You sold the sniper his weapon.
Yeah, that's what I reckon.
Show me the fuckin' receipt.
Show me a shred of evidence.
You got nothin', ya muppets.
Jane, your hacked phone was infected
with malware when you opened the audio file the shooter sent.
He had access to your photos, mail, everything.
Everything?
I've disabled location services.
Means the shooter won't be able to track you. Was he doing that?
It's possible. But I've added my own little bit of magic.
We'll be able to listen in on calls. Trace them.
Finally, your very own burner phone.
Totally untraceable and no-one gets to eavesdrop.
Thanks, Kip.
The hacked phone stays here.
The shooter may not just call during office hours, Tom.
Yeah, but I don't need you out there being bait.
Well, it got us a bite.
It could be some kook, some nutjob.
Somebody who's just trying to freak you out.
Or it could be the shooter,
and we have to proceed on that basis, don't we?
Either way, it still places you in danger.
I'm not his target. You weren't.
Now, I would feel better if the phone was here.
He is not gonna talk if someone else answers the phone.
Look, I appreciate you trying to protect me, Tom,
but I don't need babysitting.
I have to make myself fully available.

Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't - I didn't know
that you were gonna be here, and... No, it's so great to see you.
Do you want a drink?
Ah, no, I can't stay long.
Ah, so, OK.
Well, have a seat.
How are you? Yeah.
How's non-uni life treating you? Bit weird.
Yeah. Not having any routine or structure. Right.
Well, you could always take a couple of classes.
Or...or not.
Or take a gap year.
You could focus on your music,
or even travel.
I could loan you money.
I do a good interest rate for family.
Haha. Yeah. Thanks.
You alright? You look tired.
I'm OK.
Must be pretty lonely at Turd's by yourself.
I mean, you're more than welcome here, Zoe. There's plenty of room.
No pressure, just...
I miss you, that's...Or we could... think about moving home.
When the time's right.
Um, I'm actually going to move in with Mum.
You're...what? We're gonna take over
the lease at Turd's, set the place up as our own.
Well, isn't that a bit soon? I mean, you've only just reconnected.
Well, it seems like a good opportunity.
Is Mandy even gonna stick around?
She's trying to make up for lost time, Jane.
Oh. Yeah, right.
I wanna do this, so I'm going to do this.
Yes, I'm sure you do and I don't wanna try and talk you out of it...
Good! I just - I don't think it's a good idea, Zoe. Not right now.
I mean, you're grieving.
Mandy's...grieving.
Yeah. We're both grieving, Jane,
so isn't this a good thing that we can be there for each other?
Look, I...
You just... you hate the fact that she's here.
No, I don't hate that she's here... Yes, you do!
I'm just - I'm trying to look after...
I'm trying to look out for you, that's all.
God. I'm not a kid.
No you're not, you're an adult. You can do whatever you like.
I'm just surprised, that's all. I didn't come here to get
your permission or your approval, OK?
I actually just left my house keys here.
I'm gonna be there tomorrow, getting my stuff.

Look, I know you probably don't wanna talk to me
after our last conversation,
but Zoe's told me the news and I'd really like to discuss it with you,
so could you call me back, please?
On this new number, not the old one.
Thanks.
(PHONE RINGS)
(SIGHS)
Of course you're going to ignore the new number.
I asked you not to call this number.
Well, then you'll need to give me your new one.
I was hoping you'd call.
Hello, Jane. And hello, taskforce.
Well, you obviously know my name. I'd like to know yours.
You can call me Daniel.
You took a big risk going to the hospital today, Daniel.
The taskforce think you did it just to taunt them.
Well, what do you think? Did you achieve what you wanted?
I'm not a monster.
Is that what you're trying to show us?
Did Amy get the flowers?
Do you feel bad about what happened to Amy?
She was a mistake.
(KEYBOARD KEYS CLATTERING)
And why's that?
Because she's young and female?
Peop...People don't seem to understand.
Nobody understands. I am going to save everyone.
I want people to take notice.
Take notice of what, Daniel?
You can see the pattern, can't you?
Yes, I can see a pattern, but I don't know what it means, so...
Think about your boyfriend.
What about Ben?
I didn't kill him.
And why should I believe you?
Time's up.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What about Ben? I didn't kill him.
The call was routed and then rerouted through a number of mirrors
in Chile. He's good, very good.
But after we worked our way through that, we came to a local ISP.
Date of birth April 1 and the name Mr Catch Me If You Can.
Great. Doubles as a stand-up as well.
It could be that he's just messing with you about Ben,
just to cover his tracks.
He's happy to claim the other murders.
Mmm. He didn't kill him.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
What?
I can't right now. We're in the middle of...
(GROANS)
Yep. Yep. Got it.
That was the Police Minister.
She wants a debriefing. Good luck.
She's requested your presence.
Me?
Now, let's not mention to the minister
that we're in contact with the shooter.
If she's looking to get on the 6:00 news,
she would drop that gem in a heartbeat.
I don't understand the delay.
McCarthy will be charged,
but it's going to take time to sift through everything, OK?
We don't wanna get thrown out of court because there's going to be
a problem with the evidence. What more do you need?
The guy's a terrorist. Yes, but he's not our shooter.
Can you conclusively rule him out? Yes. Yes, we can.
What aren't you telling me?
Professor Halifax, maybe you can enlighten me.
The shooter is a lone wolf.
McCarthy's the opposite. He's trying to raise an army.
He's an opportunist but frankly not smart enough to be the shooter.
I believe the shooter is trying to send a message.
No-one is safe in this city anymore.
That message is coming through loud and clear.
Well, fear is part of the equation, but there is something else going on.
Like what?
The victims fit a pattern. It's a clear indication of a message.
It's not just random terror.
And the party boat victims?
A mistake.
Which, if it happened once, could happen again.
So no-one in fact is safe.
You lot are no closer to finding him
than you were after the first shooting.
With all due respect, that is not true.
Then give me something!
I'm being grilled on "A Current Affair tonight".
We have facial recognition technology
which should have been in place six months ago
if the opposition hadn't shot it down in the Upper House.
We look like a bunch of idiots who can't keep the city safe.
I want the shooter's head on a platter tomorrow, if not sooner.
I'm not avoiding anything.
Susie, for Christ's sake, they're my boys, too.
No, listen...
(LINE DISCONNECTS)
Fuck.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Tom. Not now.
You have to see this. Not now.
This is the magnified image of the bullet
from the weapon that killed Ben Sailor.
Then this.
They're as close to identical as you can get.
The second bullet is from one of the Brotherhood guns.
Ballistics are certain it's the same gun that killed Ben Sailor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Finally.
Kill for a coffee.
What?
You lying sack of shit.
You murdered Ben Sailor right in his own driveway.
Yeah, four sugar and some milk'd be good -
(GROANS)
Hey, get off me! (GROANS)
He was murdered with one of your weapons.
I've never shot anyone! Tom, get off him.
(GRUNTS)
Hey!
Tom! Stay back. That was assault!
Stay back.
(LAUGHS) Get back.
Yeah, you call my lawyers.
Tom, get outside.
That's assault. Get back.
You dog. Shut your mouth!
Yeah, get outta here! Come on.
Listen to him. Come on.
(LAUGHS) Ah, you're all pigs.
Ballistics are certain it's McCarthy's gun.
We've been through all your old cases.
There's no neo-Nazi link anywhere.
Is it time to revisit the possibility
that Ben was the intended victim?
Ben was a musician. I'm the one who worked in the criminal field.
Well, he did keep some things from you.
Look, with this new information,
we just need to eliminate Ben as a line of inquiry.
Well, I can't exactly ask him if he was on the wrong side
of any Nazis, can I?
No, but can you take one more look through Ben's things, please?

Around 10,000 in cash and payments totalling 32,000 to an account.
Could it be Zoe's?
No, it has to be Ben's.
But it's not business stuff.
He was scrupulous about documenting that.
He got audited once.
No cash deals after that.
I'll get a warrant and get onto the bank.

Amy Kelleher is dead.
Oh, Jesus.
(TV PRESENTER) The city is in mourning tonight
with the news that Amy Kelleher has
succumbed to her injuries sustained
during a brutal attack just days ago.
While celebrating her 21st birthday, Amy, her father,
her boyfriend and a friend were all gunned down
by an unknown assailant.
Police believe the gunman is the same man responsible for
another six deaths across the city in as many weeks.
Amy became the face of the fight to end the campaign of terror.
It's a fuckin' tragedy.
I'm gonna resign. What?
Why? I'm a liability.
I just came to say goodbye.
Look, you're in pain. It doesn't make you a liability.
No, no, I lost control.
I understand it feels that way...
No, you don't understand. I lost control of everything.

Are you talking about your family?
They're not back in the US on vacation.
They've moved back there permanently.

I'm sorry.
Hardly surprising. Shit husband. Shit father.
Shit cop. Shit human.
Yeah, well, we've all been shit humans at one time or another.
Who're you talking about?
You or Ben?
I used to think Ben was the open book.
Wore his heart on his sleeve. I was the one who hid everything.
You and I, we both know that to exist
in this job you gotta bury your shit so fuckin' deep just to survive.

I just - I waited too long... just a split second,
and now all of these people have died for nothing and I...

I want to understand why they died.
Can you tell me about that?
I am trying to help people.
By hurting them? No, not by hurting them, no.
People are asleep. They don't even realise what's happening!
Right.
And you want them to wake up.
Is that what you mean?
Daniel, are you still there? Is that what you mean?
That's exactly what I mean, OK? (SNIFFLES)
I'm gonna wake 'em up. That's exactly what I mean.
That's good.
Audio sounds like it's outside.
Gives us something to work with. Another shooting?
Maybe he wants Jane to hear him do it.
See if there's a chopper up in the air already.
I want eyes on the rooftops, OK? Onto it.
Where are you, Daniel? It sounds like you might be outside.
I'm not...I'm not trying to trick you. I'm trying to help you, Daniel.

Listen, some of that crap we talked about last night,

Thank you.
OK. Well, now that I know you're alive, I'll let you get back to it.
OK. Easy on the door.
Jane? Yeah?
I want him off the taskforce.
McCarthy has just contacted a lawyer.
He wants to sue Saracen for assault.
There is no way he is gonna cooperate with us now.
Jane.
Yeah? The bank got back to me.
There were deposits made to a total of $150,000.
What? As you can see, the deposits cover
quite a number of years, but they seem to fall into sections of time.
Concentrated activity, then nothing for a couple of years,
and then it all starts up again. And the account itself?

Do you need the cash? No.
I'm taking it.
Oh!
We're not quite ready for visitors yet. I might have some herb tea...
Here.
Ah, what's - what's that?
Ah, I don't understand. Is this for Zoe?
No, it's for you. 10,000 in cash.
That's the last of it.
I don't want it.
Why not? You were happy to take Ben's money for years.
What's the difference?
Can we just put this behind us?
For Zoe's sake?
Don't try and blackmail me with Zoe.
We have to be able to get along.
Why? You've got your relationship with her, I've got mine.
The cash, the account... Ben was putting me through rehab.
I really don't care what it was for.
It's another thing he kept secret from me,
and I have to come to terms with that.
It's got nothing to do with you. But it does matter what it was for,
because that's why I couldn't be there for Zoe. I was unwell.
Ben understood. So, what do you want from me?
Absolution?
He was the one who first gave me my first hit.
He was just able to stop whenever he wanted.
So we're gonna blame Ben, are we?
Grow up, Mandy.
Take some responsibility for once in your life. We all fuck up.
Doesn't make you anything special.
Jane, hi. Hey!
Just thought I'd... come and see how you were doing.
Place looks much lighter without Turd's junk in it.
Yeah. Yeah, it's...it's coming along slowly.
Actually, I'm gonna pop back when you're more settled.
OK.

But she'll come round.
We just want what's best for our little girl.
Did you get the macaroons? Yes.

The weapon used in the murder of Ben Sailor was solely in your care.
That makes you an accessory before the fact.
Add a conspiracy to murder charge, it's not looking good.

Your boss did them.
He's the animal. He should be locked up.
And my lawyers have taken photos, and we're gonna sue your arses.

Oh, no, not yet. I wouldn't want to...spoil the surprise.

Daniel?
Just...just stop, OK. Just stop - stop moving.
OK, OK, alright. I've stopped.
