Thank you.

Now stand.

See you then.

Okay, let's go.

Malcolm Redding.

I have a warrant for the search of your vehicle.

What for?

Yes.

Look,

maybe we can come to some arrangement.

If you don't find anything, I'll make it worth your while.

Now, because I'm a good bloke, I'm going to forget you said that.

Up there mate.

Not

there

either.

Then you can get out.

Yeah, OK, Mr. Brenning.

Sorry about that.

Oh, you'll be hearing from the lawyers.

He's bent, I'm telling you.

He thought they were there. He offered me a bribe.

The only thing I can think is that someone took them while the cars were

on the boat.

Who would know?

You're absolutely sure?

There were no diamonds in those cars? Positive.

I could be it.

He was as surprised as we were when they weren't there.

What do you want to do now?

It's called a swiftly, that's all. We start again.

Something must have happened to Warnie.

Yeah, where?

Here or Cape Town?

Well, it wasn't here. We know that.

Okay.

So that means either the diamonds were taken off on the ship or they weren't

loaded at all.

What do you like?

Not at all.

Me too.

So, they weren't loaded, but he thought they were loaded.

Which means that his contacts in Cape Town let him think that.

But why?

Because they're testing him.

So if they wanted to know which way he was going to jump, they'd have to keep

eye on him.

Right.

Guess what?

There we go.

All righty, please, sir.

This is one of your specials, Ange.

How are you doing, Cody?

I'm not happy.

What makes you think this is different from anyone else?

What do you know about diamonds?

I know they're not a girl's best friend.

I want you to do a favour for me.

Put the word out there.

I want to know if any South Africans show up suddenly.

There's a few of them in town.

Doing what?

Keeping their heads down, mainly.

How about you check out the Park Regal?

OK, shared.

Got anything smaller? They'll pick this.

I could give you one to swallow, but your stomach noise would drown out the

conversation.

Okay, last run through.

Calibration of clarity.

What's next after VS2?

SO1. Correct. What colour's best? DOG.

D. Correct. How many points in a carat? 100.

Correct. How many essential detectives does it take to change a light bulb?

Who wants to know?

Correct.

I've got a diamond, three and a half carats.

VVS clarity.

What's it worth?

What colour is it? F.

Buying or selling?

Buying.

Give me 38 grand.

Okay, that'll expect you to be caring.

It's not standard issue.

Five.

Four. Remember, four.

My God, Cody.

Cuter. Turn around.

No way.

This is the South Africans, right?

Yeah. I hear you know more about diamonds than Liz Tyler.

You kidding?

Get a photo of him. No one will ever believe it. Hey, Simone.

Can I keep the Rolex?

You ready?

I don't like it.

Yeah, I know. I didn't like it myself in the first place.

Cody, we need the conversation.

Won't be long.

Just get how they're getting the gems in, okay?

Then we've got them.

Not yet.

Not these guys.

I'll let you know how it goes. Cody!

I'm not back in half an hour. Send in the cavalry.

Not back in half an hour, we'll send for a coffin.

Cody, and you, uh, take your coat off.

Thank you, no, I'm fine.

If you don't mind.

I'm not sure I follow. Put your hands on the wall.

We should get in there.

It's okay, Tony. Just hang on.

It doesn't feel right.

You two have got ESP now.

Is there a problem?

No, no. No problem.

Just making sure.

I'd like you to meet another partner.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Where are the champs?

No, I didn't, Mr. Cody.

Would you like a drink?

Matty, get Mr. Cody a drink.

Thank you, no.

Shall we?

Please, take a seat.

I should go.

Just wait. He knows what he's doing.

No, he doesn't. That's the problem.

Beautiful.

Wonderful color.

When did these arrive?

That you don't need to know.

They're good. They're very good.

But they're light.

What do you have over two carats?

Maybe we can get them.

And maybe I can leave here right now.

Nothing is done.

I think we can do this, sir.

Will you settle down? He's okay.

Look, I'm not going to do anything.

Just going to have a look around.

Have you done this trip before?

Well, you ask a lot of questions.

It's the right small talk.

If you're not familiar with this country, I could... It's okay, Mr. Cody.

okay.

Yeah, very nice of you. It's a great pleasure to meet you.

I'd love to meet you.

Cody!

Look at you.

I haven't seen you for ages.

How's Stella? I keep meaning to ring her.

Stella's fine. She's working as usual.

What are you doing now?

Just business.

Here and there.

When did you leave the cops?

Quite some time ago.

Good idea, really. Because last time I thought Stella, she said something about

a promotion.

I said, what? He's going to police, Commissioner? My God. He's just not the

type, you know.

She's left Allen, by the way.

Excuse me. We have to go now.

I'm sorry.

Cody, I'm in room 2020. I'll be there till the Friday, so... Bye.

Time. Cody!

Cody, you in here?

Oh, no.

Cody.

Cody. Cody, talk to me, mate.

Cody.

He was smart.

He'd done his homework.

He knew an awful lot.

Look, we changed the arrangements.

Stopped the whole operation for a while.

Not just dipping around, that's all.

So you say.

But how do we know?

But they just aren't believing me.

I'm afraid I'm not willing to do that, Mountain.

You should have told us about the raid.

They got nothing.

It was about compliance conditions for the cars.

You're not listening to me.

They raid you on the very night of the delivery.

Then, a week later, we're set up.

Don't give me coincidence.

I don't want to hear it.

They got nothing.

Oh, I'm getting very sick of this.

Get out of my house.

Sure.

Just one thing.

One of those little accidents in the figures came up.

It was a fluke.

You know how it happens.

Anyway, we checked.

And guess what?

Things. aren't adding up.

Sit down, Malcolm. I'm okay.

No, you're not.

Sit down.

Now, when you don't, we are very, very short.

And over six years, it all adds up. I reckon you owe us around four million

rand.

Now, let's say two million dollars.

Two million dollars and I'm happy. Well, not happy, exactly.

Two million dollars and you stay alive.

Proof? We're not in court here, Malcolm.

Don't give me proof. You've been gleaming off the top.

Time to pay up.

I haven't got that sort of money. You know that.

Maybe we can convince you to find it.

But don't you start threatening me. You can't just walk in.

Two million dollars now.

I don't get drunk with her.

With you.

Mum?

Mum, did you hear it?

Hear what?

Just him.

No, I didn't hear anything.

Mom, you heard it.

I know you did.

How long are you going to put up with this?

Go back to bed early.

Oh, I can't stand it.

I'm really starting to hate him, Mom.

I'm so sick of this.

Are you listening to me?

Go back to bed, Anna.

It's pleasant not to be digging bullets at you this time, Cody.

Any headaches?

Okay, nothing broken.

Follow my finger with your eyes.

I've seen you worse than this, Cody.

Friends this time, were they?

Are you vomiting?

Feeling queasy at all?

Lie down.

Ow!

Well, um, I'm putting you off work for three weeks.

Any headaches?

Dizziness? Eye focus problems?

Shortage of breath?

Or any symptoms? No, no, no.

Hang on.

I can't.

You can't what, Cody?

You're in better shape the last time I saw you, that's for sure.

How's the pain?

What about this kidney damage?

Well, I'm pissing in Technicolor, but apart from that, probably 100%. Are you

sure?

I would have thought they'd send you home for a month.

Shows what you know.

And what's this I hear? They took the Rolex?

There goes the whole operation budget.

I swear it was rented. There'll be some sort of insurance on it.

Well, thank goodness for that.

Inspector Simmons?

Uh -huh.

Well, what did you get from immigration?

Let me know if there's more.

No lead on them from the hotel.

They booked the room for one day in person in cash.

They bought the car two days ago in cash. The buyer ID's a dead end.

I'm watching the exits.

At least they're not going anywhere.

Don't bet on it.

What do you mean?

These guys aren't just the hired help.

They're the main operators.

They'll have a way out.

Still, the question is, why are they here?

Lay down.

Get him up.

Sit him down.

There's no need for this.

Sit down, Lindsay.

You Africana ape.

What do you mean by coming over here and threatening me?

I came to get what's mine.

Did you?

Now look, we just need to... You went

about it the wrong way.

I don't like threats to my family.

I want you to apologize.

You can go to hell.

You pig! You come over here with these insults!

I ought to have you killed.

Get back to where you came from.

I don't think he can hear me.

You tell him I said goodbye.

The agreement on the diamonds is over.

Tell him.

If I hear he so much as breathes the name of any of my family, he will

disappear.

Bernie, don't you think?

I heard you got a hiding from some little jeweler.

There were three of them, Collins.

Three jewelers.

Nasty. Thursday the 23rd.

Overnight, the body of a person found at Kirribilli.

Male, Caucasian, about 20 years, lesions to the neck.

Post -mortem report is due in late this afternoon, and Sergeant O 'Halloran is

in charge of this investigation.

Task Force Jason continues. Please keep informed of all Jason intelligence

updating on the computer.

Missing person reported.

No specific fee is held at this stage. One, Anna Redding.

Aged 16 years. The father, Malcolm Redding, is rich, rolling it.

Major car dealer.

Possible abduction.

The North Sydney branch of the Pacific Mercantile. There has been a failed

This is perfect, man.

Now we've got an excuse to get in and really check him out.

The guy's daughter might have been taken.

I don't think you now have time to put him through the wringer.

Oh, Cody, sorry, mate. Sorry.

You all right?

Yeah.

Tony, this is our best chance.

We can find his daughter, and we can find out whether he's connected to my

Your guys?

They're not just your guys, Cody.

Hey, Tony, I was in intimate contact with those guys that I told you about.

So who told us she was missing? The mother rang last night.

Apparently she didn't come home from school yesterday.

Yeah, a bit quick, isn't it?

Wouldn't you think she'd spend some time ringing friends and rallies first?

Maybe she's just worried about her. You ever think of that?

That's my point.

The daughter's a few hours late getting home from school, so she calls the cops.

She knows something.

Cody, at the moment, this is a missing person, that's all.

Well, I reckon she's been grabbed.

You can't deduce that.

Simmo, I need to get into that house. I need to sniff around.

Yeah, well, let's just slow down a bit here.

You stupid bloody woman. We'll be living with police now. What happened to her?

You have to tell me. Get upstairs.

I don't want you muddying the waters down here. I have to know, Malcolm.

all I've got. Go on. I'll handle this.

Is Mr. Redding in?

Mr. Redding, I'm Inspector Simmons.

I'd like to ask a few questions about your daughter.

Yes, certainly.

Come through.

Come in.

Thank you.

Look, we think she's gone to visit friends up in Queensland.

No, your wife didn't mention this.

No, well, we're checking on it.

She's probably there.

Is your wife here?

No, I'm sorry. She's gone out.

Can you tell me the name of the people in Queensland?

No, no, I can't.

My wife will know.

Maybe we could let you know later.

What kind of girl is Anna?

Flighty.

Hard to control.

Got a mind of her own.

So you're not distressed about her disappearance?

I think we called you too quickly.

She'll turn up.

In fact, I think we've probably wasted your time.

Oh, no.

No, not at all.

Thank you.

Oh, by the way, I received a complaint from your solicitor about the warranted

search of your premises last week.

It was an excessive raid by some of your cowboy cops.

They didn't find a thing.

I think you'll find their paperwork's all in order. It better be.

One comma out of place and they're in big trouble.

Mr. Redding?

I don't care how you do it, or what it costs.

Bind her.

I'm holding off the police.

I've no idea what's going on.

That's her.

Get back to me as soon as you get anything at all.

Anything, Hugh.

I see what you mean.

Charming, isn't he?

What'd you get?

Nothing. He was doing his best to get rid of me.

There's a hidden agenda there, all right?

Exactly.

You're off the leash, Cody.

Keep me informed.

Well, we were assigned to it.

Cool.

That smart -ass inspector was here.

There was another group here asking questions earlier.

We take missing persons very seriously, Mr. Redding.

What happened to your ear?

I was gardening.

Rose bushes.

Can't be too careful, eh?

Get them.

Okay.

This might seem an obvious question, Mr. Redding, but can you think of anyone

who'd want to harm your daughter for any reason?

I've already been asked that.

Oh.

And, uh...

What was your answer?

No.

You wouldn't mind if I made a phone call, would you?

It's up in the house.

Thank you.

Did your daughter make any new friends over the last few weeks?

Mrs Reddingham, Sergeant Cody.

Is there any news?

No, not yet. I'm sorry.

You have to find her.

Someone might have her.

Maybe. A bit early for that. She might have just run off.

You all right?

Please, ask him.

That's her father, Mr Reddingston.

He's not her father.

Maybe I could ask you a few questions about your husband.

No, you have to ask Malcolm.

Run a credit check.

This just came through from the Redding house.

When did you say you got this?

Housekeeper found it this morning. Must have been shoved under the door sometime

during the night.

250 ,000 bucks.

Is that a lot of money?

Tone, I want to put through every scientific test short of DNA analysis.

paper, the glue, everything, okay?

And quick.

Yeah, no worries.

It's a lot of effort to go there.

I mean, these guys know if they get caught, they'll go to jail. They know

millionaire.

That's a quarter of a million dollars?

Could be they figure it's an easier amount. He's less likely to tell police,

more likely to pay up and shut up.

No.

That's too low.

Task force Echo.

Access to computer intelligence and flowcharts is via the code word Echo.

We'll be meeting here at precisely 10 daily, and I mean precisely.

Okay. Anna Redding.

Disappeared between 3 .40 and 8 o 'clock Tuesday evening.

Height 5 '5", age 16 years, fair, Caucasian, no discernible characteristic

mark. She left school friends to walk home at 3 .40 on Tuesday.

She was last seen heading north of Ballester Street. After that, there's

nothing. Any questions?

If she's being grabbed like the D .Y. girl, is she likely to try and fight him

or what?

She's apparently very bright and quite tough, unfortunately.

Let's hope this doesn't end up like a D .Y. case.

Right, the father, one Malcolm Redding, is rich, rolling in it. Imports luxury

vehicles, trades on the stock market, has a large holding in some mineral

concerns. He is currently under investigation on suspicion of diamond

Nothing as yet.

Initial neighbourhood canvassing has been carried out. It's collated and

available to you on the computer via Echo.

Telephone intercepts have been set up at the Redding house.

Well, you were right, Cody.

I wish I wasn't.

For the kids' sake.

What's the latest with the father?

Stepfather?

Not much.

Well, have you got anything?

Yeah, I've got an idea.

But I need another half an hour in that house.

What's this idea?

Nice lipstick.

Just don't get yourself shot.

Morning, Mike.

Tone's on duty here, right?

Yeah. But you're not.

Why, that's what I'm talking about.

You're not part of this investigation, Cody. You'd better stick to your

diamonds. Ah, hello.

Ah, hi. How are you?

Could I see you for a minute?

Yeah.

Will they ring?

How long did you take after a message like that?

There's no way of telling.

I thought you looked shocked the other day.

Don't be.

Look, I need to ask you some questions about your husband.

You don't seem like a policeman to me. You should be asking questions about

Anna. She's in danger and you have to find her.

What danger?

Maybe you'd better tell me what you know.

How long were you married?

Six years, the owner was ten.

And what business was your husband in?

Business? I don't know.

Weekends away, secretaries, dinner parties, dreadful people.

We don't have them anymore.

I can't understand why.

My first husband.

Anna's father was killed in a car accident.

She still grieves badly.

I knew Malcolm. He was strong, well -off, charming.

I needed someone like that.

What have you done to yourself?

I should say the other guy.

What was your name?

My name's Cody.

Maybe we can help each other.

Can I see you for a minute?

See me later.

No, now.

Please.

Inhydrant testing on the notes has given us some vague fingerprints.

Get the housekeeper's prints, will you, Tony, so we can eliminate hers.

The letters were well -mixed.

No unusual paper.

They could have come from any of 40 magazines.

Some traces of paper bruising, but not enough for a handwriting result.

Not looking good.

The note itself, what have we got between the lines?

No arrangements about where the money's to be left. Now, is that strange?

Maybe it's just a tester.

We'll wait for the next contact.

Maybe.

There must be something in that office.

It's all legit.

I need to get into his office at the showroom.

Uh -uh, no way. I'm still fighting off his lawyers from last time.

Well, the bastard definitely knows more than he's letting on.

So does the mother.

Yeah, but you won't get anything out of her.

She's scared of him.

Where are you going?

To have another talk to him.

Time to be unwritten.

What do you want?

I know what you're up to.

Not enough that you've arrived near the garage. You're still at it.

This has nothing to do with finding my daughter.

You can drop the big show of concern. You don't give a damn about the kid.

add to my trouble, Sergeant. This is a warning. Don't threaten me, pal.

Now, why don't you save us both a lot of time?

Why don't you tell me what's really going on here? Get out of my house! Now!

Cody?

What kind of people are you?

Somebody's got it, don't you understand?

Now I think he knows who sent the ransom note and I think it's about time he

started explaining. I sent the ransom note. I cut it from Anna's magazines.

I'm ready to convince you to keep looking. I thought you might stop the

We don't give up.

Why would we do that?

You said you thought she might have just run away.

Yeah, I said that to comfort you.

I've always thought she was grabbed by somebody.

You can't let him get away with it.

Keep talking.

Mrs. Rennie, I'm not sure what's going on, but I think Anna's a pawn in some

kind of feud.

I think your husband's business partners have taken her.

Yes. They must have.

They were here.

These men, were they South African?

Yes.

And then, then you have to dedicate this one.

Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

All right, baby.

Bye.

Who was the last one?

Mr. Blobby.

You watch yourself, Caddy.

It has a rentals list.

Oh, we checked through the lot.

It went with 20 possibles.

That's pretty good software, that.

No go.

Unless we've got some real estate guy hiding.

Nah, too new in town.

Well, the hotels and motels I'll check out.

Okay.

Sightings?

Yep, couple of chances, one a maybe.

I've got three possibilities.

Looks like it's going to be a long night.

Which one do you want to do first?

Well, maybe we better split up.

do you want?

Hoi!

Don't move!

I think I'm in the wrong place.

Good to see the drug squad are still on the ball.

Let's get the hell out of me for your rally.

And you could have got yourself shot.

There was nothing on the computer about this operation.

And that's just the way we like.

Yeah, right.

Well, good luck.

Oh!

I'm sorry I thought you were Max.

Well, who's Max?

Those guys. They're hiding from him.

Oh, I'm a... I'm a police officer.

I know who you are.

Those guys didn't really kidnap you, did they?

No. They just said I could stay here.

I don't have to go home, do I?

Well, yeah, you do.

But I'll take you there.

Now you settle down.

I'm not going back home.

Where are we going?

I want to ask you some questions about your stepfather.

I'm begging you, I'm sorry.

I'm not going back home.

Come, Nathan, please.

Anna, I have to go.

Hey! Hey!

Can't make me go home.

I'm 16.

Yeah, me.

I'm at the railway bridge at Pyrmont, beyond the commission places.

Yeah, now.

Now, please.

What were you trying to do back there? Get yourself killed? Will you shut up?

Can't you see you're scaring her?

Are you all right, love?

Don't let him upset you.

Anna?

This is my mum.

Really?

Yeah, really.

You poor thing.

Don't worry, dear. Everything's going to be all right.

Let's go play. Yeah.

You stay tonight. We'll talk tomorrow.

I've got to go.

Do you mind telling me what's going on?

Can you come back tomorrow? I need you to keep an eye on her for me.

Well, I'll be here about seven when I've finished with shift, okay?

So long, love.

You'll be all right here.

I didn't know.

Yeah, you're famous.

You hungry?

Couldn't eat.

Okay.

This is your bedroom.

Bathroom's right at the back.

Get your towel.

Sleep well.

I'll see you in the morning.

Nice night, eh?

Come sit down.

Come on.

You don't understand.

Yeah.

I think I do.

Part of it, anyway.

It is beautiful here.

When I was a kid, I used to come and sit out here.

Count the shooting stars.

My record's eight.

So what happened?

I just ran away.

I hate him.

You've probably heard the news by now.

There's been a sighting.

Where is everybody?

There's a breakthrough in the kidnapping case.

At the moment, we're treating this as a positive sighting, but I don't want

anyone going overboard.

We're giving the media a story on a South Coast sighting, but that is it.

Here, near Wollongong.

A beige Toyota Corolla with Victorian plates.

Two men, Caucasian, one bearded. The girls apparently drugged in some way.

Details are on the computer.

Now, a bulletin went out to police in the area an hour ago and four

are on their way down there at the moment.

Any questions?

I hear you got a positive sighting on the Anna Redding case.

The sighting of someone. Nothing confirmed.

Look, I've got to talk to you.

Okay. How about you buy me lunch?

This is serious.

I don't want to make a gun because I know she'll do a bolt again for sure.

You want to keep her in custody?

I won't.

Where is she?

She's in my place.

You realise if this goes wrong, we're both out of a job and they're going to

spending a lot of money on defence lawyers.

She knows the guy.

If I can get her to talk to me, that'll end a year's work on those doctors.

You've got 24 hours.

Reports of the girl being sighted near Batemans Bay on the New South Wales

coast have now been discounted.

and police are believed to be concentrating their efforts in the

metropolitan area.

Anna's father, millionaire businessman Malcolm Redding, has told reporters his

daughter may have run off... He's made Mum's life hell.

Please,

you just put up with him.

She was waiting for me to grow up.

By the time I did, it was too late.

Do you remember your real father?

He had such a gentle voice.

I remember, even after he died.

I used to lie in bed and I could hear him talking.

He had the kind of voice that made you feel good.

Really?

Yeah.

I wish I felt like that now.

Mum used to be so happy all the time.

Nothing. I can't remember the last time I saw her laugh.

She drinks a bit, you know.

She's an alcoholic.

I have been trying to get her away. She just blots it all out.

She's like trapped.

Okay, tell me what happened that night you woke her.

These men, tough guys, came into the house.

They were yelling at each other downstairs.

Who were they?

South African guys.

I got out of bed and went downstairs and he was sitting there.

I couldn't see what was happening, but there was blood.

Mum was in a pretty bad way.

She knew something was going to happen.

These are the guys I'm looking for.

It's about diamonds, isn't it?

He must have kept records.

Do you have any idea where those files are?

I know where they are.

It's all under skits.

Anna, listen to me.

It's a gamble keeping you here.

I can go to jail for this.

But if we pull this off, you and me, we've got him.

Don't worry, love. If anyone can fix it, he can.

Any word about Mum?

No, Cody.

I've promised Angie a word. I'll ring Angie. She can blame me.

How's this?

We get a warrant. We go in there. 48 hours. We grab the lot. All right?

Everything. Cards, files.

Man, I haven't got 48 hours. I'm in a hurry.

Why? What's the rush?

No, you don't want to know, Tony.

Try me.

I can't tell you.

If I tell you, I have to kill you.

Just go with me on this, will you?

What, you don't think I can hack it?

Fine, don't tell her.

I've got Anna Redding in my place.

Tell me you're kidding.

She's a nice girl, Tony.

Are you crazy?

What did you tell me that for?

I don't want to know that.

I'm an accessory now.

Tone, I need one hour. I know exactly what I'm looking for.

Anything you find are worth pig shit in court.

It's a break -in.

Sort of.

I've got a career to think about, okay?

I don't want to be a constable for the rest of my life.

I'm gone.

See you in jail.

Hey, Tone.

She's told me where he's hidden his computer disks.

Get your hands out where I can see them.

Are you?

Don't turn around.

Don't!

Where are you going down?

Don't turn around, I said.

Okay, okay, mate.

Did you know there were two of you?

There wasn't.

Take a seat.

Now this guy over here, he's a madman.

So if you move in the next 20 minutes, he's going to shoot you.

You got that?

I've got superannuation in two years, mate.

That's a smart move.

One

of

these days, Cody.

And did you get anything?

I got the dime files, I hope.

You hope?

I'm good or you break and enter.

Assault and God knows what else. And you hope?

Thanks for coming, sir.

You'd be lucky if there was anything in court.

Well, I'll worry about it.

Last time, Cody.

Last time I bailed you out.

I'm up for sergeant in two years. What are you trying to do, torpedo me?

We don't.

We got away with it.

Lucky.

The cops had arrived. I was going to arrest you.

Contact you? Where have you been?

I just got the message. She's gone.

I lay down on the couch, bang, wake up, she's gone.

Not on the beach, I've looked.

Wait there, I'll call you.

There's nothing, Mr. Redding.

He's gone, and no one's saying anything.

That'd be bloody ridiculous.

What do you mean?

Did you offer the money?

It's weird.

For some reason, no one will talk.

He must have no company.

But nothing on Roche and the other two?

They've bloody gone.

They've left town, Mr. Redding. You can put money on them. I have.

If you've got a problem with the job, I can find somebody else.

Not a problem.

Good. Keep looking.

We've had a piece of luck.

This is working out well.

Don't you think?

Lisa, aren't you lonely?

We knew that after the first day with that cop. They're fools, Malcolm.

Lisa at home could teach them plenty.

Let her go.

A good girl.

Yeah.

How long does customs take in this country?

Malcolm?

Ship unloaded yesterday.

But your customs late tomorrow.

Good.

We'll be taking the gems, plus the money you owe.

As soon as we have it all.

She's yours.

What are you doing here?

Did you turn up yet?

Who? Anna Redding.

She's Redding.

Patricia, darling, it's Jo.

Is everything okay?

Yes, we are. Yeah.

She just came home.

Walked straight in with a couple of kidnappers.

And then Santa Claus came in.

Who else, Dave?

Oh, yeah, yes.

All of us turned up.

Roger.

Mrs. Redding.

You spoke to Joanna?

Did you go to your therapist tonight? Will you leave me alone?

Mrs. Redding, she might try to contact you.

I keep thinking she will, but she doesn't. She won't come here, I know

No, it's nothing.

It's awful, isn't it?

You see what your life adds up to sometimes.

The sad thing is that there was a moment there she

really wanted you to be a father she could love.

I'm not listening.

I don't want to know.

Had I got any sleep last night?

Any sign of Simo?

Not in here.

You're in a bit early, aren't you?

Hi,

guys.

Wow, Cody, you shouldn't try so hard.

I've got to see you.

Will she try to go home?

She didn't. I checked. I don't think she would anyway.

You realise we can't have her out there with these people out there? Of course I

bloody realise. I just spent the entire bloody night out there looking for her.

Half the police in the state are already doing that.

Officially, there is nothing more I can do. Officially?

Bugger officially.

And we tried it unofficially.

And I blew it. Is that what you're going to say next?

Listen, I want to find the girl.

I'm just letting you know the gloves are off with this reading bloke. I can't

authorise any more of these long shots.

Hey, I don't give a flying damn what you authorise or not.

I'm leaving.

Will you shut up?

I know you're upset about this, but she's a police responsibility.

Mine.

She's my responsibility.

And I'm going to fight her.

No, Cody.

You're off this case.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Where's Reddick?

Upstairs.

Hey! No way, Coach.

I'm the responsible officer here.

I'm sick of you playing your games on my turf.

Now, what I'm going to do, Mike, is talk to this bloke.

Now, whether I talk to him in your conscience or I talk to him in your line

the floor.

Putting in a charge about this.

Good idea.

Please, get out of here.

Look, pal, I'm at a hard night.

I'm here to find Anna, which is what I'm going to do.

And then you're going to jail.

I want truth.

And I'm going to get it, so help me God.

I'll take you apart. I am not mucking around, do you understand me?

Roos just got her.

She was trying to come home and they grabbed her.

What do they want?

Money. What else?

Two million dollars.

Okay.

Let's hear the rest of it.

There's a lot of black market South African diamonds.

There are a lot of migrants coming to Australia, roast for the diamonds in

cars.

I was merely the middleman, that's all.

I sold some here and the rest in Southeast Asia.

So you were ripping them off? I creamed a little off the top.

Oh, you creamed a little.

Two million bucks.

How are you going to pay him?

I haven't got that sort of money.

There's a... There's a shipment coming off the war tomorrow.

I was hoping I could get those gems tonight.

I could use them as payment for Hannah.

Then what?

You're still a shipment short.

Sergeant, it didn't matter if she was all right.

As long as she was safe.

You were going to play it by ear?

Then where?

Bangkok. And that was July 1993?

That's right.

What was the total value of those gems?

That lot, I can't remember.

600 ,000 youth.

And those guys were there at the time?

Yes, they arrived. They wanted to deal the previous shipment direct that they

did with you.

And what names were on their passports?

They always arrive on false ID.

They leave on some yacht off Broome.

Right. Thank you, Mr. Redding.

It's nearly five o 'clock.

You'd better get to the garage.

I want to make this perfectly clear, Mr. Redding. This is for Anna.

Even though you're out there still in custody. Do you understand that?

Oh, yes.

I hope so, pal.

I've had plenty of time to think, Cody.

I'm not totally insensitive.

She is my daughter.

I am responsible for her.

Maybe I can make amends to her and my wife.

Please.

Just give me this one chance.

We will.

When they make contact, tell them you've got the money and you'll take it to

them. Got that?

All we need is an address and we'll take it from there.

It's over behind there.

Same as last time.

It's a blue 5 -series BMW.

The gems are inside the passenger door.

Righto.

Well, you wait here and I'll be right back.

You really didn't think I was going to trust you, did you?

Give me the gun.

God's a gun.

Now give me the gun.

So you had the same idea as Malcolm.

Man, you guys can't be trusted, can you?

Get up.

So you got the diamond.

What's next?

What do you think, huh?

So what's the next move?

As soon as we get the diamonds, we call Malcolm to come and get the girl.

And he brings two million dollars.

How'd you know that?

Well, the plan's changed.

I'll tell you what we're gonna do.

No.

That's my watch.

I'll be back around Christmas.

Yeah, Tony, it's me.

You called off.

Oh, yeah, I need an ambulance at number 7 Wharf Hickson Road for a body pickup.

And homicide.

Yeah, I'll explain later.

Oh, yeah.

One other thing.

There's a bloke here holding up a fence.

Nah, nah, he's still alive.

What are you doing here? What's going on, Malcolm?

Go home. I'll be there later.

Is Anna all right?

What's happening?

She'll be okay.

I'll see her in the morning. It'll be all right.

Malcolm.

Go home, Patricia.

I will bring her back.

I promise you.

Ready? Welcome.

Is she all right?

Have you got the cash?

I've got it in gems.

No, no.

Sorry. No deal.

No, it's more than we agreed. I've got nearly two and a half million in

diamonds. You can have them all.

And where did you get these?

Over the years?

You see, I was right.

Where are you? I'm waiting.

There's been a change of plan.

What?

No.

I'm here. I'm doing what we agreed.

No, you're not, Malcolm.

We know you've contacted the police.

Believe me, I've done everything.

Be quiet.

I'll tell you when to come.

Any sign of police?

Ready?

No, it can't be done.

Too late.

Leave me alone.

Take your diamonds, they'll kill her and they'll probably kill you.

I'll have to take that chance.

Listen to me.

Please, get out of my way!

What are you doing?

Sorry, Mr. Redding.

I found him.

You lousy bat.

Shut up, Malcolm.

Where is he?

Get her out.

Come on. No, no.

Anna.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Yes.

Very touching.

The diamonds.

What's that?

Take a look.

Evening.

Are you a crazy man or what?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

You, you let her go.

She comes over here to me.

And you, that's stunning, Jack.

You put the gun down.

Bullshit.

Take his gun.

Put down the gun and get away from her.

Tony, look after the girl!

Get on the ground. Lie down.

and fast.

No, the other one's dead.

Yeah, and I want as many cars as you can manage.

They'll be within a few blocks of here.

Lindsay Rose here.

I need you to pick me up.

Yes. I'm at the entrance to Darling Harbour.

Yes. Hurry.

What was that cop last night stepping out to show himself to those guys?

It's a boy thing, is it? Save the girl cop?

Had a bit of a sore throat.

Sore throat?

Like hell you did.

I spoke to the medico.

This time you're going home for recuperation.

That's it.

She said two weeks.

I'm going to miss you, Cody.

Police are baffled by a spate of armed hold -ups across the city.

In the latest incident, two men held five hostages at gunpoint while banks...
