"We still don't know what really happened." "We know exactly." "Our little girl is dead." "You need me to pat you to sleep too?" "Wouldn't be horrible." "Jess?" "It's OK, it's me." "It's just you and me." " Could you open it?" " It's not standard encryption." "Which only makes it a more... interesting nut to crack." "The first time I ever heard the word Lindara was when you called me on the way to the airport." "How about Physanto?" "What's wrong with him?" "Why can't he get any air?" "The girl who picks up Jesse after he's been screwed sideways for hacking Physanto is the daughter of a bioengineer who works there." "You spied on her?" " I want you to go now." " Do the check." " I want you to go!" "Trina Daniels." "The last thing she printed was a breach report." "It has Jesse Banks' IP address on it." "If she gave that to King, could he find him?" "What you took, bring it to me!" "Let him go!" "Aargh!" "Help me, please!" "If you just give the files back then all of it'll be over!" "This programme contains strong language." "'Hi, leave a message if you want.'" "Jesse, I need you to check in." "Hey, Jess, you know I've got no idea where you are." "I went back." "The van wasn't there." "You need to just call me, as soon as you can." "Jesse, I'm not fucking around." "Call me!" "'Hi, leave a message if you want.'" "CAR HORN BEEPS" "Um, yeah." "Ah, how...how early is an early bird?" "Before seven." "And after that, you're not an early bird?" "After that, the first hour's no longer free." "No longer free... is the opposite of free?" "Just means you have to pay for the first hour." "Yes, but I haven't been here for an hour." "CAR HORN BEEPS" "Um, if you have..." "This is a car park, and you're charging me to park my car when I didn't park my car." "If you have a driving-around-for-one-minute charge," "I will happily pay for that." "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "KNOCK AT DOOR" "He ran over him?" "This is insane." "Yeah, well, he wasn't behaving in a very friendly way towards us." "'Hi, leave a message if you want.'" "Fuck." "Has Jesse managed to unlock the code yet?" "No." "What's on the file?" "What, you think that they would tell me?" "I don't know, Hani." "I don't know what kind of cosy relationship you've got with the Cyber Crime people or whoever the fuck it is that's pulling your strings." "But what I do know is that Jesse isn't..." "He isn't put together like other people." "Whatever it is that you're up to, he's not qualified for it, OK?" "Yeah, I kinda got that." "You realise that if I had any vested interest in getting myself out of the shit right now," "I'd be sitting over in Intelligence Central telling them exactly what happened." "But I'm not." "I'm here, telling YOU exactly what happened." "Yeah, I'm getting that." "I just don't know why." "I want you to find him before they do." "MOBILE TEXT ALERT" "He'll probably never speak to me again but maybe you could tell him that I wasn't lying." "My family are here on very delicate visas." "I didn't sell him down the river for nothing." "PHONE RINGS" "Ned Banks?" "Yes." "Thanks for not calling the cops." "That's all right." "I've got a cousin who's a little bit, you know... bent out of shape." "You definitely didn't see him get back up?" "I definitely did not see that." "But I was also definitely not looking." "I made a real mess of things this time, right?" "We'll sort it out." "Not sure how yet, but..." "We can't just leave him there, can we?" "Cos you would have my full support if that's what you decided to do, that we just forget we even own the house." "Jesse, we can't just leave him there." "ENGINE STARTS" "Yeah..." "No, well, I didn't think so." "Well, you know they're going to use this as a strategy to step away from the non-proliferation negotiating table." "Hang on a second." "The journos scored ten years' labour camp each." " Can you make sure there's a nice reassuring background for this?" " Sure." "Morning!" " Morning." " One of those for me?" "Unfortunately, they're all for his nibs." " Did he go home last night?" " No evidence of it." "Bradley's office have requested a meeting with the two of you at 5:30." "I've got the afternoon roundup at 5:30." "I know." "They know." "They didn't seem too worried about that." "About this North Korea thing?" "That's not the impression I got." "I'll take them in." "Uh... he asked not to be disturbed." "By anyone." "You get heart palpitations, you can drive yourself to the hospital this time." "Right now words fail me, Glynnis." "What a relief." "I trust one day, someone will truly celebrate your gifts." "Hmm." "Get me Ken Johnson on the phone, please." "Mamajun?" "Baba is all..." "He's got a migraine, so he's lying down." "You hungry?" "No." "What happened to study camp?" "Oh, people weren't taking it seriously, and I could get a lift back so I thought I'd just bail." " Mama?" " Mm?" " What is it?" "Baba is all upset because one of his colleagues at work died." "Was killed, actually." " Who?" " You don't know her." "Her name was Trina." "She worked in the IT." "Baba didn't know her either, but he's very upset about this whole thing." "I want to know what they do there." "At Baba's work." "What does your father say?" "They spin the..." ""We're going to Australia to spin fairy floss out of straw."" "He's been saying that since I was ten." "I'm not ten any more." "I want to know." "He's signed a confidentiality contract." "I'm not asking him." "I'm asking you." "Good." "Because I don't know." "And you think that that's OK?" "That some company is allowed to come along and make you have secrets in your marriage?" "Hani, if I ask him, he will tell me, but I choose not to." "Because I love him." "And because I know it's less stressful for him this way." "You know." "Life is complicated." "KNOCK AT DOOR" " Hello?" " We have a warrant to search the premises for documentation related to potential breaches of the Immigration Act." "What?" "I don't understand." "I thought we went through this last..." "Alilah?" "What is it?" "They say they're from the Department of Immigration and..." "Why are you here?" "Why are you here?" " We've received some information." " From who?" " We're not at liberty to say." " Oh, this is a fucking joke!" "Hani!" "Please, come in." "So what do you need to see?" "We'll start with a documentation search." "Uh, passports, licences, proof of employment..." "What are you doing?" "Well, we don't know what we're going to find down there." "I don't think it's a smart idea to drive down to the front door and toot the horn and see what happens." "Yeah." "Come on." "Oi..." "Fuck." "Must have come in here to clean up." "The question becomes one of odds, I guess." "Can you lose that amount of blood and still drive two hours to the nearest doctor, or do you pass out on the freeway and drive into a ditch?" "I don't have an answer for that." "Well, that's disappointing on a number of levels, cos, well, I can't say with any conviction that I care about his wellbeing." "It would be nice to know that I, uh, haven't killed anyone." " Shh..." " CAR ENGINE OUTSIDE" "We've got to go." "Get out, get out." "Out the back." "Stop, stop." "Jesse!" "Come this way." "Down, down." "Down, down, down, down." "There's no conceivable reason for me to look at that spot." "All right, all right, I'll look at it!" "You hacked into a system and stole some files that do not belong to you." "Come on." "The key." "Where's the key?" "Jesse, tell me you have the key." "I left it in the ignition and now it's not there." " Tell me you have the fucking key!" " I don't have the key." " Where is it?" " It's on the sink in the house." "Oh, fuck!" "You never leave the keys in the ignition at home." "ENGINE STARTS" "Pencil." "Wonders never cease." "PHONE RINGS" "I don't know if you're getting it, but Jesse knows I'm shackled to you dickheads." "Well, I'm going to excuse myself from that one, since I'm new to the crew." "Really, there's nothing more for me to do." "So you can shake the visa tree as much as you want." "Jesse's done talking to me." "Listen." "I didn't know about the raid." "Coover didn't tell me." "Oh - now I like you so much better(!" ")" "He pulls that card every time I fail to stand up and dance to his stupid tune." "And if it was just me, then that's fine." "But my parents... they don't sleep for weeks afterwards." "It just eats them." "You really like the guy, don't you?" "Jesse." "Even if I did, he doesn't really strike me as a "second chance" kind of person." "Oh, come on, Hani." "You're a very persuasive young lady, and the prettiest girl who's every going to look twice at him." "Is it for, like, some weapon or something?" "It wouldn't matter what it's for, it doesn't belong to him and there's too much money invested so let it go." "Come on." "Is it really that hard?" "I mean, given that it's actually in his best interests?" "Then I can go back to Coover, I can tell him that you're back on track, and he can put the Immigration dogs back in the kennel." "I'd want something in return." "As a show of faith." "Oh, yeah?" "I want to see my file." "And I want to see my parents' file too." "Coover trots the visa thing out every time he wants something." "Makes these threats about what would happen to my family if we got sent back." "I want to know what they did." "Or whether he's just stringing me along." " Here you go." " MOBILE TEXT ALERT" "Fuck!" "It's Hani." ""Frank James is a knob." ""More @ PMB." What does that mean?" "HE VOMITS" "Well, Frank was Jesse James's plonker brother, so I've been cast here as Jesse and you as the idiot..." "Yes, I do get that incredibly sophisticated piece of comedy genius." "What does "More @ PMB" mean?" "I can only assume she's left other messages in my private mailbox." "Right." "You know they can triangulate our location in, like, 25 seconds." "You can buy a pre-paid." " This one's going on a trip." " What?" "Can we go inside?" "I'm very..." "Just very, very hungry." "HE COUGHS" "It's no good." "They're taking him to Broken Hill for more tests." "There's something radically wrong with his lungs." "He keeps talking about some gas coming out of the truck." "But he's in and out of consciousness, so..." "What are you talking about, gas?" "The manifest said the truck was carrying high grade engine oil." "Well, I don't know." "I don't know, Ned." "I mean, nobody's saying it out loud, but... it's not looking good." "Hey, er, I got to go, OK?" "I can't think straight." ""Dear Mum..." ""..may the year ahead be full of things you can actually remember."" "Not like you to be so...truthful." "Yeah, well, I'm tired." "What are you doing?" "I can find no logical explanation for this pain in my chest, so I'm providing a genuine reason for the discomfort." "Makes no sense." "I think about her, and it triggers this crippling, painful feeling, and yet ten seconds later I'm thinking about her again." "It's like putting your hand in a fire when you know very well it'll burn." " Yeah." " Yeah." "I'm going to go to the bathroom and then we'll go." "OK?" "Come on, Jesse." "Let's go." "And where are we going?" "Broken Hill." "KNOCK AT DOOR Yep?" "Mr Bradley?" " Ms Walsh is here for you." " OK." "Sophie." "So, the newish Director of Communications." "It's erm..." "Well, it's six months in June?" "No regrets?" "None." "Would you like a cup of tea?" " Ben'll happily get one brewing for you." " No, I'm fine, thanks." "If Ben could rustle up something more interesting than tea, that's another thing altogether." " But otherwise, perhaps we could..." " No, of course not." "We're all busy now." "Look, Sophie, we've had an alert." "This is not really my area, so let me refer to my notes." "Blah, blah, blah..." ""..is informing you of a significant breach of the applied access controlled list." ""Attempted download of Physanto contracting" ""and details of intellectual property licences." ""At 7:25pm the system logged the attempt." ""Access was denied, and the loss prevention system was activated."" "That's your computer, Sophie." "That's your username and your password." "Snooping around in places that you're not cleared to access." "I was shocked." "Shocked, I have to say." "But when I straw-polled a few people in the hall to see whether there was any truth to the rumour that you might be digging around on behalf of a certain young journalist, not a single person... a single person was prepared to tell me that was crazy thinking." "Unless there's someone missing off the list that YOU can think of, Randall." "Let me give you a bit of advice for free, Sophie." "You're young." "You're young, you think you know it all, but I can tell you you have not got a clue." "Once all the smart-arsed sneering from the bottom-feeders in the press gallery loses its gloss, you'll realise that the only reason anything gets done in this bloated, lazy, self-satisfied country of ours is because there's people here," "in this building, who are prepared to do what it takes." "The jury's out on you." "But, um, maybe we see this as an opportunity to have a good, hard think about whether you're here to play footsies with a bunch of press hacks...or you're actually here to contribute something." "'Sophie, stop, all right?" "'" "I'll have a heart attack and you'll have to deal with it." "Triple O, mouth-to-mouth." "Probably throw up and piss my pants." "I won't care how undignified things get, I'll be dead." "Look, I'm sorry!" "He's a cock." "But in this instance he happens to be on the money, does he not?" "Cos he kind of nailed it in there." "And you WERE snuffling around, looking for some tasty morsel to feed your friend." " You cannot be seriously playing that card." " I know." "Marriage should disqualify me from such petty jealousies, but there you go." "I don't know if it works any more, Randall." "All this care in the car park, nothing in the house." " Come on, Soph, these are not new rules." " No, they're not." "I just don't think I can stomach them any more." "JESSE MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY" " You're all right." " No..." "No, don't want you to do that." "Wake up, Jess." " Ohh!" " Wake up." " Oh..." " It was just a dream." " Mmm..." " Where are you going?" " I'm going to go in." "You can come." " You can stay here." " Um..." "So, I don't really want to go in." "Um, and yet I'm not keen to sit here in the middle of what could possibly be quite a dangerous car park situation." "Nothing's ever simple, is it?" "Given that you know what's happened to me in hospitals" "I'm going to assume that comment was fuelled by the taxing drive you've just had and lack of sleep." "Oh..." "INDISTINCT VOICES OUTSIDE" "Hey there." "You took your time to come visit." "Yeah." " Things got a bit hectic at work." " That's a total lie." "JESSE STIFLES LAUGHTER" "What?" "It's true." "You are an inveterate liar." "People should know that." "This is my brother." "Jesse, this is Clarence." "You know that he's telling people that he saved your life?" "I think he's telling women to, you know, influence their opinion of him." "Oh, well, maybe he lies a lot." "But that one's true." "See, that's the thing." "They just keep talking about diminished lung function." " And he's sure that it was gas coming out of the truck?" " Why?" "Something doesn't make sense." "The manifest said that the truck was carrying high grade engine oil, which wouldn't account for lung damage." "What about Sheyna's lungs?" "If Clarence's lungs were damaged by what came out of the truck, then it stands to reason that Sheyna's would be too." "Well, Sheyna's body was brought here." "The regional coroner flew in the next day." "That means the originating copy of the autopsy would've been made here." "I could remote in if I could get someone's credentials." "Yeah?" "Just give me a minute." "Typical." "Lock my keys in the car AND the phone, so I can't even ring someone to come and get me." "I'm just on hold." "Out of sight, out of mind." "It's that Gemini forgetfulness, isn't it?" "No?" "Don't agree?" "Don't know." "Don't know any Geminis." "So you're not a Gemini, then?" "Aries?" "Cancer?" "If they don't answer soon, you might have to use the phone in the hall." "I actually need that." "BUZZER" "No way, really?" "That's crazy." "Of course you do, Su-Anne." "I would have got there eventually." "By the time you narrowed the field down to "ilovetoboogie67", we would all have autopsy reports in there." "Are you in?" " I'm in." " And no-one can see you snooping around?" "They will see Su-Anne taking the odd electronic medical record from the filing cabinet, opening it and replacing it." "Hmm." "What are the chances of there being two Sheyna Smiths autopsied on the same day?" "What?" "She's coming back." "See you, love." "Thank you." "Thanks for the phone." "Heart, brain, kidneys, lungs." "Blah, blah, blah." "Normal, this one, logged three hours before the second one." ""Injuries to the parenchyma" ""show significant discolouration and scarring." ""There is evidence of structural damage and toxicity" ""consistent with pneumonitis."" "Why didn't they destroy the first one?" "So, the thing with electronic medical records is that they're almost as tightly controlled as bank records." "It's almost impossible to hide the history trace." "Which means that you can't just change the results without people being able to see that they were changed." "Someone well up the system admin tree approved an update of the results." "They couldn't delete the first one altogether, but 99% of the time, the only one people are going to see is the most recent one." "Yeah, the one which says her lungs look normal." "Yeah, bingo." " You going to be all right?" " Mm." "We're just going to drive out to Sheyna's mum's, we're going to have a talk and then we're going to drive straight back." "CAR HORN TOOTS" "HE YAWNS" "What the hell is pneumonitis?" "It's an inflammation of the lungs, caused by a bunch of stuff," " like smoking..." " She didn't smoke!" "..chemotherapy..." "She never had more than a cold her whole life." "..or inhaling chemicals like sodium hydroxide, chlorine, mercury." "So you think it was something to do with the accident?" "We're thinking whatever was on that truck burned her lungs." "And Clarence's too." "Someone's going to a lot of trouble to make sure people don't ask too many questions." "And an autopsy report that says she died of injuries from the crash is much easier to explain away." "Clarence loved her, Eadie." "He didn't kill her." "Can you get the original report?" "Not officially." "I can't request it." "But you can." "Otherwise the truth gets buried with Sheyna." "Did you just smell my hair?" "Funny thing, perspective, isn't it?" "Cos we're all just made up of the same things." "You, me - all just a collection of zeros and ones." "It just depends on which way you look at it." "Ugh..." "Selfies are for posers." "What are the creation dates?" "What are you doing, young lady, at the same time every afternoon?" "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." "This is the key." "The photos are the fucking key to the code!" "Ahhhh!" " BANGING ON WALL MAN:" " Shut your bloody face, will ya?" "!" " 2.80." " Thanks, love." "Are you ready for another one, Ted?" "What can I get you, sweetie?" "I would like a jug of...bourbon." "You're probably going to want to mix that with something." "I am?" "Hm..." "Does bourbon go with..." "lemonade?" "Oh, my God." "Hello." "Yep, it is me." "No, no, nothing's wrong." "I just..." "Well, I did something great today." "And um..." "I think you would have been proud of me." "No, I know, I know you're always proud of me, but this time I would have actually done something to deserve it." "Yeah." "Well, I..." "Oh..." "No." "No, Mum, you go and I'll, uh, talk to you another time." "Don't be." "OK, bye." " How's the bourbon?" " Oh, it's tremendous." " Do you have children?" " Yeah, four." "Oh, goodness." "That must be nice for you." "Provided, of course, that you like them." "I'm not usually this chatty." "First time in the Hill?" "Nah, I promise you, mate, I promise you, mate, this is the stuff the tourists never see." "Too busy buying postcards and looking for the dunny." "Where exactly are we going?" "Oh, I don't want to spoil the surprise, mate." "Eh?" "Hang on..." "Hang on." "Hang on, hang on." "There's something I have to do." "My mum's birthday, you know?" "Can't say I did." "Very, very kind of you, Carl." "Your name is Carl, isn't it?" "My name's Carl." "Come on." "Almost there, sunshine." "Just over here, eh?" " HE CHUCKLES" " You're gonna love this, mate." "Give us a drink." "Give us a drink!" "Come on, you prick." "Come on!" "Come on, you prick." "Come on!" "Hit me, you...!" "She won't do anything until she talks to Carl." "I'll go back round later." "You can crash here if you need to." "No, I should probably get back." "Which is what I've spent the last ten years doing." "Making sure I get back on time." "I would really like to not have to get back." "In case you were wondering." "You're very impressive." "No, I'm not." "PHONE RINGS" "INAUDIBLE" "My brother has just been brought in." "Jesse?" "Jesse Banks?" "You got any information on him?" "He needs a support person in there with him." "Is Jesse Banks back there?" "Fuckin' bastards!" "Thank you." "I haven't done anything yet." "Are you sure, if the other guy really pushed him," "Jesse wouldn't retaliate?" "I've got more than 20 years' experience with his meltdowns, and they're not pretty, but they don't look like that." "What's this?" "Thank you." "Where was I at 7:15 yesterday?" "I was at Lindara." "The laptop was in Broken Hill." "This is what was on the truck." ""The truck was carrying UF6," ""uranium hexafluoride." ""It is partially enriched uranium in gaseous form." ""Can lead to pneumonitis or WMDs." ""Please see attached."" "What is that?" "This is a screenshot of my computer." "Oh, God." "Oh, God, that's the file." "He cracked the fuckin' file." "Jesus Christ." "Is this what Jesse took from Physanto?" "What, do you know about it?" "This is restricted data." "No wonder he's in so much trouble." "Why is it restricted?" "Every country on the planet has been trying to crack laser enrichment for the last 50 years." "It's fast, small, efficient." "You can have nuclear power as quick as you can pull uranium out of the ground." "PHONE RINGS" "Ned Banks." "OK..." "OK." "That was the police." "I can see Jesse." "Um...can I just leave this here?" " Course." "Go." " OK." "Afternoon." "What would your boss say if he knew what you were about to do?" "Well, if you're talking about Coover, strictly speaking, he's not my boss." "They got me specially in from the Feds on this one." "Why?" "I've got some old connections they want to take advantage of." "That psycho who came after us?" "He's a friend of mine." "Nice." "Can I have it, or do I have to beg?" "Have they talked to you much about it?" "And what life was like?" "Can I just read it, please?" "A-ha." "We were beginning to worry." "Are you OK, Hani?" "I feel as if my head'll explode." " Do you..." " Can I get you something for it?" "No." "I want to feel it." "Sit, please." "Let's eat." "As a family." "Remind me, Baba." "Tell me the story again, how we got out of Iran." "You know the story, Hani." "We applied at the same time as the Kazmis, didn't we?" "Mmm." "Cos I have this memory... of Mina and I talking at school, laughing about how funny it would be we could end up at school together in Australia." "And then suddenly they're taken." "I forgot the parsley." "Your brother's got himself into a bit of a predicament, Mr Banks." "He's just a little bit too clever for his own good, isn't he?" "In fact...if he hadn't tripped at the last hurdle we might not be sitting here at all," "Cos, you know, I'll be honest with you - we know exactly what he's been up to, but the little prick keeps erasing his fingerprints, so we just haven't been able to get enough to manage a conviction." "Until now." "It's aggravated assault." "With a deadly weapon?" "This says it was a beer jug." "No, this is open and shut, Mr Banks." "There's not a breath of question mark in it." " KNOCK AT DOOR" " Ian." "Come on in." "Fortunately for you, Ian Bradley's asked to make a representation on Jesse's behalf." "So I'll leave you to it." " I'll wait for your call." " Thank you, Malcolm." "Now, I know you sense there's a bigger story going on here, Ned, but what you don't understand right now is just how critical things are." "I also know that your brother wasn't motivated by malice, which is why I pitched for there to be some special considerations" " around his charges." " What kind of special consideration?" "Well, aggravated assault could become common assault, which means that you're looking at a community service instead of a custodial sentence." "Aggravated assault's so much easier for you." "Nothing more politically inconvenient to explain than a pub fight." "He's, um, not really built for prison, is he?" "Lucky you had those two Federal Officers there, and the unmarked vehicle to whisk him away nice and promptly." "OK, well, the equation would run like this - you leave the Lindara story alone for now, which..." "Well, let's be frank - it was an unfortunate fuck-up, it wasn't some grand masterminded piece of evil." "So we do that, and then everything goes back to normal." "Jesse can go home and uh... you can resume the noble task of documenting the political cut and thrust of the day." "And Sheyna's family can go back to the normal business of burying their daughter, who was pushed off a cliff" " to keep a nuclear enrichment programme off the front pages." " No, we did not... we did not push her off a cliff, Ned." "And look, we're hunting with the full resources of the department for the person responsible for that, um... that atrocity." "I can't believe you're blackmailing me." "Look, I haven't explained myself clearly enough." "You'll have the story, Ned." "You'll have the story, the real story." "The accident was an unfortunate hiccup in something with much, much bigger stakes." "Much bigger stakes." "International stakes." "That's a story that'll need reporting." "It'll need to be done carefully and only through... only through a single voice." "You see, far from uh, blackmailing you, Ned... you're being offered...you're being offered a real break."
