"He either slipped and cracked his face on the way down or someone smashed his head into the rocks." "You want me to play Judas?" "Another way of looking at it, your friend's been blown off course." "So that's part A and the decryption key." "Will it be enough?" "Can you get me a copy of the breach report." "I don't know if I can do this anymore." "(Muffled yelling)" " Go, go!" " Hey, it's me." "Give us a call when you get this." "You hacked into a system last night and stole files that do not belong to you." "I want to know why and I want to know where the files are now." " Where have you been?" " Not allowed to say." "No, no, no, no!" " I'm so tired." " So sleep." " I can't." " Yes, you can." "It's weird sharing him with someone." "It's good." "Coover's very keen to know you've retrieved each and every copy." "And if I somehow manage to get it, am I done?" "I can't be here anymore." "Jess?" "I have hot dogs, jam fairycakes, lemonade."

"I want 50% of the fee so I can grease the odd wheel or two to get us over the line." "It's not as clear-cut as that." "You might've delivered 50% but without the second half, those files are as good as useless." "Yeah?" "Well, I'm not sure everyone will see it that way." "You reckon you're the only buyer?" "You talk to anyone else and I guarantee you'll spend 20 years in supermax." "You take a deep breath and you go get the second half of those files."

"What they've done to me, those men in the white van, is forced something into my brain which makes no sense to me." "I have no way of filing what happened because I don't understand why it happened." "And so until I know why," "I will have this splinter in my brain that I can't stop touching." "Does that make any sense, at all?" "Yeah." "(Sniffs)" "Did you just smell my hair?" "No." "Yeah." "Well, technically, yes but I couldn't smell anything, skin, maybe, and oil from the back of the van." "Wow." "I do not feel as good as you look." "I couldn't find anything on Lindara except for log line, 'Lindara spill'." " Same date as the accident." " What spill?" "I couldn't open the file to find out." "It's above my clearance." "PM's comms aren't allowed to know." "There's a lot PM's comms don't know but even at our most ignorant, we still know a lot more than you do." "I retract completely." " What about Physanto?" " (Sighs)" "Didn't do this because of last night." "I just want that to be very clear." "OK." " Why did you?" " (Sighs) I don't really know yet." "I want you to find out what happened but I also want you to be wrong." "As of six days ago, all information about Physanto is suddenly above PM's comms clearance, which is not good." "And the spill tag, same clearance..." "PM, Deputy, CLO's office, national security... it's big." "Any ideas why?" "We have treaties with the US on the transportation of various sensitive substances." "So, if any incidents occur, it's mandatory they be reported." "Substances?" "Like what?" "Medical waste?" "Chemical waste?" "Weapons?" "Chemical weapons?" "You're the journalist, right?" "I'd quite like to kiss you." "I know what you're gonna say, 'Last night was wonderful but you had a bad day, I had a bad day, we were in need of a colouring in book.'" "I found out what that truck was carrying."

"He could go to jail." "Oh, and your mum rang this morning." "She said she got it wrong." "When you came this morning, she was confused." "Yeah, she must've been confused, I didn't visit her this morning." "Ah, she said the lawnmower is at Batemans." "They've gone to Karawatha." "Right." "OK." "Turn around." "It's not just the white van anymore." "(Sounds of lovemaking)" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Payments will be made into your account once a month." "Money and visa security."

"He tell you how many court orders he's violating by coming down here?" " They'll send him to jail." " I won't go to jail." "That's what mandatory reporting to your psychiatrist means, mate." " Do it or they'll put you away." " We're fine, Ned." "We're happy." " I'm hungry." "You hungry?" " Yeah." "Better have something to eat too, before you go." "You got a long drive back." "If you want to ask me something, just ask me." "She tell you the reason she came down here?" "Reason?" "It's a pretty big deal to go on the run with someone you barely know." "Don't you think it's a bit strange..." "Someone likes me, so they must have an agenda." " I didn't say that." " Didn't you?" "Ned thinks I've been hacking." "I can't imagine why." "But he's mostly worried about you." "I was about to say that there is something I know about you." "Your parents have an accent." "Middle Eastern, I think." "Maybe they're not from Canberra, maybe they are." " They're not from Canberra." " There, now you know." "Hani's parents are not from Canberra." "What do you want to know?" "OK." "What does your father do?" " He's a scientist." " What kind of scientist?" "I don't know." "The dull kind?" " Where are your family from?" " They're Turkish, Ned, it's no mystery." "There's a framed Ottoman poem on the kitchen bench." "'Lovers don't finally meet somewhere, they're in each other all along.'" "Isn't that right." "I'm getting the rest of the food." "(Laughs) She likes me." "Why won't you let me have that?" "Are you jealous?" "Does it make you upset that someone likes me more than you?" "I don't think we should talk about this now." "You need to stop blaming me for your life, Ned." "You are my life!" "What was I supposed to do, walk away?" "Like Mum and Dad did because you were too much for us to handle." "No, I stayed." "I'm the one..." "Sorry." "She's not who she seems." "Yes, her father is a scientist." "But what she didn't tell you is he's a scientist from Iran who now works for Physanto." " Physanto, Jesse!" " You spied on her?" "For fuck's sake, you ask her!" "Ask her why she came down here!" "Ask her why she randomly met up with you!" "Why she randomly slept with you!" " I want you to go." " Then you watch her face." " Do the check." " I want you to go." "I want you to go!" "Ah." "Watch her face." "Hey." "When did you leave Iran?" "It wasn't a Turkish poem, I just wanted to shut Ned up." "It was Rumi." "It had to be Iran." "I left when I was 12." "You love your dad?" "Of course." "My dad left us when I was 10." "I don't really think about it but Ned does." "One time," "Dad took me down here, just the two of us." "We went to the surf and he stood behind me." "Um, and held me in the water so I could just float on my back." "In the warm sun, safe." "Ned says your dad works at Physanto." "Is that why you're here?" "For Physanto?" " No." " Really?" " No." " You're not here to watch me?" "No." "Believe me, please, Jesse." "What are you doing?" "I'm getting back on the files." "Isn't that what you want?" "To get them to find me, to get me caught." "No." "Jesse, don't." "(Breathes heavily) Why are you with me?" "I didn't have a choice." "(Stamps) I did!" "I did." "I did." "I did." "One, two, three." "Get a fresh blanket." "(Coughs)" "Hey." "It's alright, sweetheart." "Just try to relax, Clarence." "Kitty, Rana, come back!" "What's wrong with him?" "He can't get any air." "Clarence." "No!" "Get away from me!" " It's alright." " Get away from me!" "Clarence." "(Gasps)" " It's OK." "It's OK." " (Gasps)" "Sh." "JESSE:" "Hi, leave a message if you want." "Hey." "It's me." "I'm at the petrol station." "Give us a call when you're ready and I'll come back and get you." "(Sighs)" "(Mobile rings)" "Hello." "Is Sophie there?" "Yes, she is, Ned, but she's in the bath." "Do you understand?" "I'm here and she's in the bath." "I understand." " Good." " But will your wife?" "(Sniffs)" "(Cries)" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry!" "(Cries out)" "What you took, bring it to me!" "(Whimpers)" "(Cries out)" "Let him go." "Let him go!" "Why don't you take a seat, sweety." "(Yells)" "(Both grunt and groan)" "(Cries)" "Give me the fucking files!" "(Cries)" "(Yells)" "Get in!" "I had to do it." "They said they'd deport my parents unless I helped them." "My family will be killed if they get sent back to Iran." "Help me, please."
