Original subtitles

I still do love it, but

I think...

that maybe I didn't get the balance right. I wasn't always paying enough

attention at home.

Whereas Kate... Now, Kate has always made sure that she is a mum first and a

merc agent second, which means she has had to sacrifice

quite a lot in her personal life.

After three nights surveillance, the Phantom Stag Stealer is still

unidentified.

It's dawn, and I am pulling the plug.

Another night of waste.

Adds new meaning to the concept of a stakeout.

What if they just chuck it over the wall?

Mm -hmm.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Just toss it over, collect it on the way home. Have you told Copeland? Yeah, and

security will be the only ones on site, so it has to be them.

He's reviewing their contract.

I bet.

He said we can keep a lab.

Great. Let's see if this fits in the fridge.

It's disgusting.

So how's Emma doing at basketball camp?

I haven't had the first idea.

Maybe I should feel guilty about it, but I'm quite enjoying the fact I haven't

got the first idea.

Relaxing, eh? Not having a little one in your hair?

You should go to bed.

Yeah? While the mouse is away?

I thought that I was clear.

You and me not going anywhere.

We can't. Emma's confused enough already.

Morning, all.

Just been doing the payments again.

It'd be nice if people were as prompt as we are at paying our dues.

If they did that, Dad, we'd be out of business.

Yeah. When's Lily back and when's that photocopy getting fixed? That would be

tomorrow and today, in that order.

This is my transformation.

How do I look?

Very professional.

Better be.

This target is a super corporate plus woman, Paula Conti, absolute high flyer.

Knows everything that needs to be known about business.

Hmm, except for understanding the clause in her contract with the previous

employer that stated thou shalt not work in the same field for two years after

leaving us. Maybe she didn't read the fine print.

Hmm.

I need to prove she's still trading.

If I pull this off today, there's a really large bonus.

I'll go through your notes.

Thanks. See you, darling.

See you.

Ooh, she does look scary.

Come through.

We weren't scheduled until midday.

I'm just here to drop off the figures. Confirm we're still on track for our

meeting?

I certainly am.

This is all the information I requested?

Yes, of course. We're very keen to improve our productivity.

And I'm told you're the person to help us do that.

They're our current figures.

We're both on track then, aren't we?

It's always useful to get an early feel for the person you're dealing with,

isn't it?

Catch them off balance.

No, that wasn't my intention.

You must have read my CV, Miss Christie.

I'm very experienced. I know all the moves, even the tricky ones.

I look forward to our chat later.

So do I.

Brick Taylor.

Yep. All I need to know, welcome to the other side of the fence.

You're served.

I got served just before from the Anti -Corruption Commission.

It's a ploy. They like to catch people off guard.

Well, it's only a preliminary inquiry. Maybe I should just...

I'm not sure.

No, it would be a mistake. These people at the ACC play a hard game.

If they want you there, you turn up.

Who else has been approached?

Well, I called a couple of the investors and they got letters as well to come in

for a chat. Any indication as to what information the commission have?

Well, why would they tell us that?

You know, I guess because I got everyone involved on the fast train, I'm at the

front of the queue.

Acting on illegally obtained information. They're going to come down

need to get all your ducks in a row and march them in behind you. Well, I've

already got one duck in my sights.

Trevor Ogilvie. He's the one that convinced me the fast train was

supposedly had the inside information.

Okay.

I'll cover for you.

Thanks, Jim.

How'd you go?

That woman is a piranha. It's like she's employing us.

Well, what you've got to do is get her to agree to take on a productivity study

for us, get an invoice up front, and we've nailed her for breaching her

restraint of trade agreement.

You make it sound so easy.

Hey,

get up. You're still here. You're snoring. Go home.

I'm too white to go home, and I don't snore.

We could record you.

We do have the technology.

Get up.

Oh, God.

I have a coffee.

My road won't be the only thing I'm hitting. Now, this is when you should

me a lift.

I'd be suitably grateful.

And I'd be suitably out of time to get ready for my interview.

Get a coffee, get yourself home.

Where's Rick?

I don't know.

Do you want to brush up on your...

Pitch to the piranha.

Okay, try me.

Does anyone else want one?

No. Can I find Mercantile?

Kate, it's Mum.

Is your dad there?

Yeah, sure. I'll just grab him. No, no, no. No, I'll talk with you. I just want

to know if he was with you. Why? What's wrong? What's happened?

It's Emma, isn't it? Is she hurt?

What? What do you mean?

Well, she didn't turn up for breakfast this morning. We thought she'd just

in or gone for a run or something. Is the room okay? Not broken into?

No, no, it's nothing like that. It's just that she missed breakfast and now

hasn't turned up to meet the bus for training, so I... What about the things?

What? From the room.

Oh, it's gone.

Everything's gone. Stay right there. I'm coming down. What for?

She's not here, Kate.

She's gone. I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.

We've looked everywhere.

She's run away.

We need to go down there. No, no, no. You know how this works. The local cops,

they're on it. They're not on it. She's a runaway. She won't be listed as

missing until at least 48 hours after. Kate, think it through.

She disappeared during the night. She's probably miles away. Emma doesn't know

which way to which at the moment.

I've been an idiot and a bad mother. It's all my fault. Look, she's probably

just trying to get attention.

Yeah, all kids try and wind up their parents. Kate, you did. I can tell you.

Rick, where are you? I need you to call me back. It's really urgent.

What did Mum say?

She couldn't talk. She's driving. She's coming back here.

Why? Well, she thinks it's somewhere that Emma might come.

Run away home?

That doesn't even make sense.

Where did Rick go?

Why would she be with Rick?

Because if you're right about her being upset, then it's logical, isn't it?

Trevor,

you've been keeping a low

profile. Let go of me!

What, so you can slither under another rock? Forget it.

I want to know what happened. You knew that fast train scheme wasn't happening,

didn't you? I didn't have any idea it was going to go belly up. Let go!

I don't believe you. And there will be cabinet papers, minutes, memos, emails,

paper trail that will prove your lies in no security.

And I'll follow it. And I will get the evidence and I will nail it to the wall

with you. You won't find anything.

Nothing. Get this lunatic off me.

I don't know you.

I've never seen you in my life. I will get that evidence.

And you.

Who's it going to be again? Where is he?

Why don't you head home, chase up any other friends, and I'll call the client

this Conti thing.

Get that put on hold.

But it's urgent.

Yeah. The client's going to give us a massive bonus if we can close this case

today. Hey, hey, hey, hey. This is more important, right?

Got it?

Yeah, I got it. I prove she's breaching her non -compete agreement with

Scarborough. Get her to invoice us up front for work she's going to do for our

pretend company.

The invoice is the proof.

Get her done by, close the business. I've got it. She's sharp. You need to be

credible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wear a suit.

A suit?

I pressed your buttons, didn't I?

Yeah, if you hear anything, I'd really appreciate it.

Yeah, thank you.

Great.

Emma?

Oh, it's me.

Have you heard anything?

No, I've tried all the numbers I can find, but most of them are on her laptop

and I can't get into it. Well, where's Lily? She's good at these things. She's

not. She'll be back till tomorrow.

Emma could be anywhere by now.

I'm sorry.

I called as soon as I was sure there was a problem. Mum, I'm not blaming you.

No, I am. I should have known something like this was going to happen.

The way she's been behaving.

No, don't you put all this on yourself.

It's been hard for all of us and Emma's young and she...

voices. What's going on?

Where have you been?

Asleep.

Had my earplugs in.

She changes her login all the time, but I'm nosy, so I know the latest one.

Rip.

Rob.

This is interesting.

What?

Oh, no.

Isn't what I think it is.

What? I keep old case clippings in here and some other things.

That newspaper article about Leon Stanek. Why the hell would you keep

ancient history.

I don't know. And then we've taken the clipping with Leon's photo on it.

Anthropologist wins major prize.

This isn't about what happened with Matt. She's been planning this for a

time.

She's taken off to find her dad.

Dad's on his way. He's got a maid at the electoral office looking for Leon's

address.

How would Emma even get his address? She doesn't have access to the electoral

roll. Why not?

She's a resourceful kid.

Maybe she's seen you guys at work and done some digging of her own.

She's always known about her dad, right? You know all this?

I've told her the basics.

You know, how we were too young and it didn't work out.

I should have never let her see that article.

How long does it take to get an address?

Maybe Emma already got it.

Yeah, thanks a lot. Okay.

Anything? No, he's moved since the last election. I'll try his university.

There's nothing in the scan file.

Maybe on Facebook.

No, she doesn't have Facebook.

She's got Facebook.

I told her she couldn't have Facebook.

How long has she had an account for? Did you help her do that? Of course not.

Does it even matter? I can't believe this. She runs away from me, then she

to me. What's going on? Kate, all of these kids have Facebook, whether their

mothers like it or not. It's just about compulsory.

She's defriended me.

Defriended? Unbelievable.

Left us nine in a turf.

Frustration.

I'll try a different login.

How many team buzzwords can there be?

I tried Google. I thought Google did everything.

We did, and it does.

You've got a pretty impressive CV.

Two PhDs, research papers.

I wonder if he's still available.

Sorry, poor joke.

What Google doesn't have is anything as simple as a number or an address. Just

forget it.

What's going on with the university?

No, they got me on a hole playing green sleeves on tubular bells.

You'd think that at least. Hello?

Now, I told you before, I'm not a relative, but I need to speak to him

For the reasons that I gave you, a young girl's safety could be at risk here.

Hang on, just hold on.

Listen, Leon Stanek is my daughter's father. She's missing. We think she's

trying to get in contact with him, so I don't give a damn about your policy.

This is an emergency.

Matt.

Thank you.

Well, what's happened?

She'll see what she can do.

Yeah, what are you going to do?

Is that the Conti thing?

Yeah, how long are you going to be?

Well, no, I'll send Lily over to the office. I'm doing this.

Yeah, well, you can take the computer. It's portable, isn't it?

Yeah, no, she can cover for the photocopier bloke. Okay, get that

So how did your company hear about me again?

You don't know you're a legend?

You have a very good reputation.

I think my boss talked to the personnel guy over at Consolidated.

Your boss, Miss Christie, seemed keen to deal with me personally.

Then you turn up instead. What happened?

Obvious complications.

You know how it is.

Tell me, from an operational point of view, what changes do you think you need

to make?

Put a figure on it.

A figure?

Yeah, um...

I mean, it's not all about figures, is it?

I mean, there's personalities, too. How do we deal with those? I mean, our

company is like a family.

The chairman, he's a bit of a patriarch.

And Miss Christy?

Kate.

Miss Christy.

Yeah, she's a...

A little terrier, that one. She's happy to give the chairman a run for his

money, that's for sure. Sounds like you need to find someone else.

I crunch numbers, deal with staffing levels, not personalities.

And to be honest, I generally deal with companies at the top end of the market.

Fortune 500, not family businesses, even if they're transitioning up.

I can pay you a fee in advance.

If you like. If you want to just invoice me right now, I can have a check on

your... You're not listening to me, Mr. Sloan.

You can't afford me.

Mr. Ogilvie, how kind of you to drop off your hard drive. That is all I need.

Kate, hi.

Rick, where the hell have you been? I've been leaving messages.

Sydney, I haven't checked my phone. Why?

Is there a problem?

Yes, there's a problem. Emma's gone.

What do you mean, Emma's gone? What's happened?

What are you doing in Sydney?

It's not important what's going on. Is Emma okay, or what?

I don't know. The police are across, but I'm chasing some possibilities myself.

Where exactly are you?

Bexley, but I can head anywhere.

Okay, you're closer.

You start driving, I'll do the same.

Head south.

I'll call you at the dad's address.

What? I'll explain later. Just go.

Kate, let me go. You're emotional. You're far too... Dad, I'm fine. I'm

completely in control.

Look, Leon's not even picking up. I mean, it could be a waste of a trip

I need you to keep trying that home number, OK?

Liaise with the police. Call me if they find anything. And Lily, keep trying to

crack a Facebook account, OK?

Yeah, I'll be at the office. I'll call you guys if I get anything.

Show them your ID, get a receipt, bring it back to me.

And how come you can't do it?

Because I don't have an ID.

Hello? Wow, your phone does work.

What are you doing?

Soda.

Yeah, look, I can't really talk right now.

I'm undercover.

What's the covers?

The width.

I've been calling and calling.

No answer.

What do you want, Minnie?

You.

I thought it would be easy up there, but I really missed you.

Can we talk, maybe?

I've got this job to do.

Okay, work first.

I'll hold off on my offer till later.

Offer? What offer?

So, any luck on the Facebook?

I've bypassed the auto lockout. I've tried every single boy band and TV show

can think of, but I cannot work out what her password is.

What are you doing here?

Oh, looking for a case file.

Kate called.

Leon Stunick's parents have moved, but I remembered his father was a creditor in

a bankruptcy filing about a year ago, so I might have a contact somewhere.

Frustration. I'm not too sure about that social network thing. I think it's more

anti -social network, if you ask me.

I've got a thousand friends.

Sure. Ten of them are 40 -year -old perverts pretending to be Justin Bieber.

Bieber, Dad.

Bieber's more your porn network.

No,

not Bieber.

Your mum was saying that Emma changed her other password.

Rick Rocks. Yeah, a couple of weeks ago. It's about feeling for the situation,

really, isn't it?

So, something else like that.

That's good thinking.

The flip side.

Yes. I'm in. Mum sucks.

Rick Rocks. Mum sucks.

Just a matter of common sense. I'm in too.

Tell your mum.

to meet me at that address.

Sure.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

The last time I saw Burke as static was years ago when she saw me coming, she

crossed over the road.

Oh, she's concerned. Kate's done it twice.

I know.

Milos, James.

Hello, Boca.

I'm sure you're... What do you want?

It's an emergency, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

We need to get in touch with Leon.

Oh, really? An emergency, after all this time? Our granddaughter has gone

missing. If I might be allowed to finish.

If your daughter wants to see my son after all this time, then it must have

something to do with, say, his success.

What?

Retrospective child support, perhaps? Yeah, I can promise you that is the last

thing on our minds. Or Kate's.

Emma's in trouble.

We think she's gone looking for Leon.

She's your granddaughter too.

Are you going to tell us where we can find Leon or not?

Fine. We won't bother you again.

Go on.

Go.

Lakeshaven.

I said number 23.

I knocked on the door. There's nobody home. There's a couple of papers in the

front yard. The mailbox is empty. I figured they've gone away. I forgot to

cancel the papers.

Someone's still collecting the mail, so I went to the neighbours.

Have they seen Emma?

There's no one home there either.

Well, then we need to break in.

See if we can find out whether... Settle down, all right? We will find her. It's

going to be okay.

Don't you see this is all our fault?

If everything hadn't got so screwed up, it would be exactly how it used to be,

and Emma wouldn't have given her father another thought.

But in the dead, she's run away, Rick.

She's run away from us, from this mess, and probably got herself into a worse

one.

We draw a blank here. Anything on that computer?

Yeah, Leon has a daughter named Molly. Emma's friended her. She's been doing

some cyberstalk.

Lakeshaven. Any mention of her school?

Lakeshaven. Nothing.

There's a whole lot of photos she's downloaded, but... Yeah, somewhere they

might have gone.

Lakeshaven. Is there any mention of it there?

Uh, there's... Photos of a resort that they go to, a lot.

Lakeshaven, you said?

OK, I've gotten into Emma's personal pages. She's been finding out everything

that she can.

Lakeshaven, vans, cabins and units.

Yes. So there's two, one in WA and one on the New South Wales coast, just south

of the Royal National Park.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers.

Dad. I think we might know where she is.

That's why you're holding out on me. This whole offer I can't refuse.

Because it's not what I've made before.

And I'm scared you will refuse.

Try me.

I know it's a lot to ask.

And I know you're really getting into your job here.

I meant it when I said I miss you.

But I have to be on the Gold Coast if I'm going to clear this debt and stay on

track.

I would love you to come up there and see if we can give it a go.

Give us a go.

Buddy?

Yeah, Chad, I need your help.

Why? Because this Conti woman is a tough nut.

I bombed out on getting the invoice, so we've got to get some other evidence

fast by the end of the day.

Yeah, right, hang on.

I have to go. It's really urgent.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Hey.

I haven't said no.

What would you do?

It's an offer I don't want to refuse.

You mean all the blood's run from your head to your nether regions, and they

don't want to refuse? No. Yes.

No, I mean, he's grown up.

Heaps. And we just click.

All right, but then there's this.

The job.

Look, I'm not running a lonely heart service here, mate. I don't know.

Here you go, visitor.

We could hear what's going on in there.

Hello.

Who's going to pick up my car?

We'll worry about that later.

What were you doing in Sydney anyway?

Let's just focus on this, huh?

So your friends have tagged me on Facebook?

At your Gymkhana, yeah.

Your horse is really cool.

Her name's Candy.

What's yours?

Um, Bella Swan.

Cool. Like Bella from Twilight?

Yeah, I get that all the time. Only mine's the one with two N's.

Um, are you going swimming?

I can put on my cosy and go with you. Yeah.

My dad doesn't like me going swimming by myself.

Oh. Strict Izzy.

I think he's a bit of a control freak.

You know, because I'm not his.

Him and Mum got married when I was really little.

Pretty cool, though.

Taking on someone else's kid.

You want me to stop for a bit? No, just...

I want to find my little girl.

I'll just try it again.

Hey!

Caught you.

Lunch is ready, Molly.

No swimming right now, okay?

Hi. This is Bella. Swan.

How cool is that?

Hello, Bella. I'm Molly's dad.

If we can't go swimming, can Bella come for lunch?

That should be fine. Just ask your parents first, Bella. Yeah, I'll do that

What do your parents do, Ella?

Oh, you know, my mum's a basketball coach.

Yeah, cool.

Yeah, women.

She's not full -time then, but, you know, she stays at home most of the

She says I can be a handful.

I've got a photo of her. It's a year old, but she hasn't changed much. We

she's looking for the Stanek family.

What's your dad do?

Um, he's... A surgeon.

General or specialist?

Specialist. Feet mainly.

Yeah, he fits feet.

He's actually the top toe guy in the country.

Yeah. Toes are a thing.

Maybe I will have some more chicken.

Kate?

I'm Leon Stanning.

I'm sorry, Anna.

This is Richard. He's my partner.

Oh. Congratulations.

Cheers. No, no, no.

I mean, he's my... He's just my business partner.

I'm Caroline. Sorry.

Caroline.

This is Kate.

Christy. And Rick. Tyler.

Kate.

Kate.

An old friend.

We went to high school together.

And Bella?

Or is it Emma?

I'm their daughter.

Caroline.

It's history.

She's your daughter?

Sorry.

I don't see if your mum's okay.

But I want to... Now, Molly.

Emma, we'd better go wait in the car, yeah? I'll call the others out of now,

right? It's interesting to meet you.

Just so you know, Molly's from Caro's last marriage.

It's none of my business, Leon.

I'm sorry I'm causing so much trouble.

No.

It's something I should have dealt with a long time ago.

It just never felt like the right time.

She's a great kid.

You've done a good job.

And you were right. I wasn't ready for a daughter back then.

Yeah, well, it was a pretty dumb trick.

Yep.

Pretty cool investigating, though, huh?

Don't talk to me about investigations. I spent the whole afternoon flashing your

photo at people.

You've got a photo of me?

Yeah.

So?

If I don't have a dog, I had to keep something in there, didn't I?

You two work well together.

That's not always enough.

Sometimes you've just got to accept that people's feelings change, you know, and

you've got to deal with it and move on.

You?

Has she?

What do you want to do now?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm not going to tie you up and force you into the car.

Do you want to come home or what?

Are you all right?

You're going to have to deal with it.

Like we did.

Clever tracking them here, though.

Baseball cart.

Why didn't you let me meet my dad?

I never hid him from you, Em. I just...

He'd just gone, made a life of his own.

And in the beginning, like I told you before, I don't think he was even ready

be a dad.

I wanted him to be him.

Sorry, Mum.

It's okay.

Sorry, he's just talked to me.

Don't ever do that again.

Oh, I love you so much.

Call your mother, Lily, and put her out of misery.

Rick's called her. She'll be doing somersaults. Yeah.

Nice suit, by the way.

Hey, Lil, this will stack your freezer.

Yeah,

thanks for holding the fort today.

Listen, Jim, something else has come up.

Ernie wants them to go to the Gold Coast with her.

Wow.

Bouncer to the head.

Are you going to go?

I want to say yes.

I mean, she's changed heaps and I still really care about her, but I'm just

getting into this job and I love that too.

Too?

I don't know what to do.

Well, we'd miss you here, but if you want to be with this girl... Sometimes

you've got to let things go.

Sometimes the best outcome is to have your cake and eat it too.

How? Well, I've got plenty of contacts.

In the game in Queensland, I could organise an introduction for you. That's

you decided to go. Yeah, you do that. Of course.

Thank you, Jim.

Plus, it could be a good solution to our little problem with Ms Conti.

If you've still got that RF antenna.

Yeah, I do, but I told you to. No, no, it's highly illegal, but if you're

working in a state, it's not a problem, is it?

Different rules, different accreditation. I don't think I should be

this.

But he's right.

Queensland.

It's going to be like losing a brother.

A really annoying baby brother.

So? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah? Yeah, but we'll have to take the van. I'll just

call Minnie on the way. Yeah, good.

Matt? Yeah?

We don't want any connection to Sapphire Agency with this, and make sure that

the county woman doesn't see anything, especially you.

Yeah, look, Chad's the one who's going to be breaking the rules.

OK? But I'll keep a low profile too.

Speaking of which, it might be... Good idea to keep a low profile on the home

front as well.

You mean stay clear of cake?

Something like that.

You going to be having the same little chat with Rick?

That's all.

Is this going to work? Yeah, no, it definitely should work. I mean, I poured

enough water down that utility as well to drown a croc. So her Wi -Fi will be

down. She'll contact her service provider. And when she does, we will

service faster. Hang on. Faster.

Than they do.

It just went down for no reason. It's ridiculous. I need this service to be

efficient. Lucky we got it so quickly.

Oh, it's still down. Have you got an extension?

In the kitchen and the bedroom.

Do me a favour. Go pick one of them up. Listen, if you hear a bunch of clicks,

let me know. Keep listening and call me when you hear them.

Clicks.

Oh, clicks.

Keep listening.

I think your problem may be out on the street.

Water damage, maybe.

We were so worried. That's great.

And you know what she does when she's worried, monkey?

Thanks. I look good.

Give me a hug first.

Pokemon, darling.

They're your favourites.

Mum, do you really think it's a good idea to encourage... Em, check this out.

Molly Stanek's Facebook page.

OMG, I have a sister.

Well, a half -sister anyway.

And, yeah, Em, we have to have a chat about this whole Facebook thing, OK?

Emma, come upstairs, let's get changed, and then we can eat some biscuits.

Three grand.

Scarborough's financial advisor dropped it in.

Thank you very much. That was speedy. That'll be impressed.

How'd you do it? The files?

I cannot tell a lie, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

It's probably best you don't find out, Kate.

Not you too.

No, no, no, I stayed out of all the shonky bits. I don't believe that for a

second.

Hey. Hey, how's it going?

Hi.

Come on, kids.

Sorry.

We thought you might like to celebrate.

Wow, thank you. We have some celebrating of our own to do. Yeah, we do. So are

you. Congratulations.

You guys sure you're ready for this?

Sure as we can be. Yeah.

Wish us luck.

Yeah, good luck.

High relationships.

We all need luck in that department.

Not you guys.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Thank you for everything.

Okay.

Ready to go? Yes.

Maddie.

See you, mate. Take it easy, eh? Yeah, take care. Are you all right, Kia? It's

all yours.

Good on you. Bye. Take it easy, guys.

See you.

He'll be back.

You okay?

Yeah.

Emma's home.

Rick does what he does to make me happy, I think.

And, um, is that a good thing?

He's trying to please good.

You know, your dad, um... Mm?

Told me to back off.

Did he?

And what'd you say?

I

will,

though.

If you want me to.

I don't want to make your life harder for you.

It's got to be about Emma now, not me.

If you want to make someone happy, you've got to be happy.

So how are you going to do that?
