Original subtitles

Well, I normally just take a toothbrush.

And a clean pair of undies.

Just a toothbrush.

Remind me never to go away with you for the weekend.

I don't recall making the offer.

You got my mobile number? Yeah, yeah, we'll call you if the place burns down.

Just go and have some fun, if you can remember how.

It has been a while.

Now, you forgotten anything?

Thanks for your company.

Dinner was wonderful.

Dinner was nice, thank you.

I'll call you.

Well, I was hoping, you know...

It seems the kids are at your mother's.

Let you come in for a nightcap.

What a great idea.

Look, Mark, not tonight, OK?

How come I never get past the front door?

Mark, it's just not happening for me.

It's not that you're not really nice, you are. I think you're great.

But, um... I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Well, thanks.

I'll see you.

Night. Night.

Hi, Mum.

Yeah, it was fine.

How are the kids?

Good.

No.

No.

Mm -hmm.

Okay. I'll see you Sunday.

Bye. Bye.

How did you get in?

I recognised the camera.

You've been driving me crazy.

And now, it's not happening to you.

Max, I... Please!

No!

Well, his car's gone.

Doesn't mean he has.

You wait here and lock the doors. I'm coming with you.

All right.

Settle down, mate. You're more trouble than you already are.

It was an honest mistake. We were just going on a domestic report.

That's cool.

But ex -husbands aren't always the bad guys.

So, how long have you known this Mark Campbell?

About three weeks.

And how did you meet?

One of those dating services.

A late night phone one on TV.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

A dress?

I don't know.

How many times have you seen this bloke?

Three. He seemed like such a nice guy.

Yeah.

This would be the guy that attacked you.

Chris, I know I'm an idiot, all right?

I've got his mobile number.

Mm -hmm.

Is there anything else you can tell us about him?

Um, he's a chemical engineer, some sort of chemical expert.

I'm sorry, that's all I know. I feel so stupid.

Well, this isn't your fault. We'll see what we can do.

Meanwhile, is there someone that can stay with you tonight?

How long have you had time to wake up?

Sleep well?

Yeah.

Bit cramped, apart from that. How are you doing?

Knowing you were here helped.

I'll go.

It's all right. It's really Mum.

Robbie, I just wanted to apologise.

I've got nothing to say to you. Get out of here.

There's no need to involve the police.

That's true.

So get the hell out of here.

Didn't realise you had company.

So you do come across every now and again.

You stay away from this place. You stay away from her.

All right, all right.

Sorry, okay?

Sorry, Robbie.

I won't bother you again.

No, I'm not calling Jimbo for you. You're not going to miss work.

And I'm not leaving you alone.

Chris, you heard him. He won't be back.

Well, I'm not going to take the chance.

God, I hate this. I hate feeling this vulnerable.

Well, let me stay.

Well, there's a mercy of a man because of his physical strength, and I have to

rely on a man to get me out of it.

Well, not all the enemy, you know.

Look, I'll call Fiona and we'll go shopping or something.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm not getting into this guy. A bit of retail therapy is just what I

need. Especially since I've got the luxury of being kid -free all weekend.

All right. Well, I'll do it about six.

Make sure you're not back before then, okay?

Yes, sir.

And Lauren called about five minutes ago just to make sure everything was okay.

That'll be right.

I told her to get over it. She was about to go horse riding with a guy with

three names and a hyphen. Yeah, that'll be right. Your charter.

What do you reckon? Doctor?

Accountant? I don't know. His money was the same colour as everyone else's. All

right. Jimbo will be in soon. If Robbie calls, find me. Okay.

Hey.

Chris Manning, your pilot.

Neil Davids.

Victor request airways clearance.

Echo Whiskey Victor clear to taxi time two three and a half.

Echo Whiskey Victor clearance track for charter flight director Dubbo. Please

take off.

Echo Whiskey Victor.

Plenty more.

Sydney Flight Service, this is Echo Whiskey Victor.

Echo Whiskey Victor, confirm changing to WMBZ and cancel SAR on landing.

Take off.

What's wrong with you? Just get us out of here!

What the hell's going on?

Fly the plane.

Where's the nearest jet strip?

Warren.

How far?

A hundred k's.

No radio contact.

But I have to. Didn't you hear what I said?

No radio contact.

I've just got to have time to think.

I don't know where he is.

Where do you want these, love?

Down there.

You beauty.

I can get a warrant to get hold of your schedule.

Big deal. Take the schedule.

It's not going to tell you anything more.

And Mr Neil Davidson, one way to Dubbo, ETA, 15 minutes ago.

And the pilot hasn't been in touch at all? No.

You'd better get him on the radio then.

Look, is there anything wrong?

There could be.

Gimbo.

What's the problem?

I'm Detective Taylor. This is Detective Harrison.

We've got reason to believe that one of your pilots may have a dangerous

criminal on board.

So what's with the weapon?

I need it.

Echo Whiskey Victor, this is Big Sky.

I'm going to have to answer it.

Big Sky, this is Echo Whiskey Victor. Chris?

Uh, seems there's a problem with your cargo. I need to know what your

are. Don't tell him anything.

Sorry, Jimbo, my cargo hasn't decided yet.

Chris, uh, we really need to know what's going on up there.

Oh, I appreciate your situation, Jimbo. But I tell you, as soon as the

decision's been made, you'll be the first one I let know.

Okay, be careful.

Got that, Big Sky.

Here you go, Whiskey Victor.

Someone was with him.

Am I still on track for Warren?

You're going to tell me what's going on, because from where I sit, you don't

look too good. Just shut up and get me there. I tell you, as soon as I land

plane, I'm going to call the cops. You just do what you have to do. All right,

good. As long as we understand each other.

You're the one with the gun.

Jimbo, I suppose you need a hand escorting the Doze party, do you?

What are you offering?

Have you seen all the food and grog down there?

Eight pissed women. You are going to need expert help.

All right, you take the does. I'll stay here and wait for Chris.

Yes, yes.

It's hunting season.

Yeah, this looks okay.

Can you pick me up from here Sunday evening?

You're kidding.

Go! Take off that door!

What? Get me out of here, please!

What am I doing here?

All right, sit down.

You don't need to know.

What do you mean I don't need to know? I just got shot at. Just keep flying.

Oh, if you notice, that's what I'm doing. So just shut up and mind your own

business. Right, that's it.

That's it. I've had a gutful of this. I'm taking this plane back to Dubbo and

I'm going to land it. Just keep going. Oh, yeah?

What are you going to do, shoot the pilot?

Can I get you something?

No, thanks.

I had to spend Saturday sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.

Well, like, you know.

I don't care. I'm just a cab driver.

If you're running from the law, it's got nothing to do with me.

You took off back there.

You committed yourself.

Hey, it wasn't the colour of your eyes, fella.

It's called self -preservation. You are obviously very heavy duty.

Cops don't shoot at people like that for no reason.

They had a reason.

Oh, what'd you do?

Kill someone?

Why am I doing this? I should have bolted out the back door and left you

shoot it out. Yeah?

Why didn't you? I'm still asking myself that.

Thanks.

Yeah.

So?

I'm a cop.

Yeah, so am I.

I'm due to testify at the Royal Commission into Police Corruption on

If I live that long.

Big Sky, this is Echo Whiskey Victor.

Big Sky Base, Chris, what's going on? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You alone?

Not exactly.

Cops there?

That's a negative.

Um, there's just some waiting customers. They're restless and need somewhere to

go.

Thanks for that, Jimbo.

Oh, one thing.

Can you call Robbie, tell her I'll be late home?

Don't tell her anything else.

Oh, tell her to stay at her mum's, not at home.

Okay, I'll tell her.

Thanks. Echo Whiskey Victor.

Thanks, guy, babe.

We'll stay right here till we know where he's heading.

The cops are there.

He said there were people there that were restless.

Know what that means?

No. It's a line from a poem.

Guess who's restless?

The riot squad, I'll tell you.

They've got you surrounded.

Robbie? Yes?

It's Jimbo.

Oh, Jimbo. Hi.

How are you?

Yeah, I'm fine. Listen, I've got a message from Chris.

Oh, yeah?

Where's he got to this time?

He...

Is everything all right?

Yeah, sure.

He just wanted me to let you know he'd be late home.

Oh, did he say how late?

No, no, no, but he said not to stay there.

To go to your mum's.

No, that'll be okay.

Is everything all right? Yes, fine.

Good. Okay, I'll see you around.

See you, Jimbo.

I'll never get home at this rate.

They said the taxi was on approach ten minutes ago.

Stick around for the Doe's Joy Flight.

You're a doe?

Oh, stuck on a plane with a group of half -faced girls and fruit fruits?

I don't think so.

Yeah, sounds like absolute hell.

Oh, here we go.

Surprise!

Surprise! Surprise!

We're going on a joy flight!

I'd rather die.

Drugs, girls, gambling houses.

Have you got any idea what it's like to buy a brand new Mercedes with cash?

Can't say as I have.

Anyway, my wife saw the money I was throwing around.

We fought about it for years, but we didn't listen to her.

I mean, why would you?

Maybe she was right.

Didn't you ever stop to ask yourself what you were doing?

By then it was too late.

I mean, you start out doing a favour for a mate, he does one for you.

And before you know it, you're in it up to your neck.

And you can't walk away, you know too much.

So anyway, Jackie went.

Took the kids.

And I was there in this big house with all this money.

And I realised I had nothing.

So now I'm going to fix it.

I can bring the whole thing down.

But the guys are senior now.

Very senior.

They've got a lot to lose.

I've just got to stay alive until 10 o 'clock Monday morning.

I don't care.

Oh, poor Scotty. He's playing full of pissed women.

Oh, I offered to help. I had to leave him out of it.

It'd be a shame to waste it.

Hey, why don't we give Lexi a call and see what she thinks of it?

Huh?

We're going to have to land soon.

Who cares?

You only live once.

And you only get married once.

Yeah, yeah.

Are you the pilot?

Yeah. Well, let's go then.

I'm not walking down that aisle until I have proof that I can fly.

Uh, not a good idea.

Why not?

Uh, everything you've ever heard about flying? All true. You'd be safer

a fork in a PowerPoint.

True. Don't care?

Oh, we leave the plane a week. Especially in those conditions.

But we've paid. It took us a month to get the money together.

Please?

Pretty place?

Hang on.

Are you crazy?

You can't fly away. I've seen it.

Yeah, I know that.

Please.

Hmm.

Jimbo. You're sober. I've got to stay by the radio and wait for Chris. Yeah,

I'm... I know, but we can't let him down, can we, mate?

You don't know how much I appreciate this.

That's not a problem.

I'll carry this out, but that's it.

You've got to fly up. You're the only one who hasn't been drinking. No, I

I've got to get back to the radio.

halfway between Koller and O 'Brien, the Black Stump.

I know the old bloke that owns this strip.

If he's still alive, he'd be about 100.

Here's your shout.

I've really got to get back to the city.

I've got a problem back there.

Oh, my God!

Chris! No, I've got to go.

I've really controlled that thing.

I'll be back.

have your cargo with you?

No, I dropped him off. Where?

Uh, Chris, um, where did you drop him?

Mudgy. About half an hour ago.

Did he inform you of his intentions?

Who are you?

This is Detective Taylor of City Central Police.

Did he say anything about where he was going?

No, he didn't. I didn't talk to him at all.

Uh, Chris, our, um, visitor appears to have left.

Thanks for that earlier, Jimbo.

Where the hell have you been? I've been calling.

Sorry, I was... Everything okay?

Yeah, fine. How's Robbie? Fine.

Okay, thanks.

Echo Whiskey Victor.

Big Sky Base.

Detective Taylor.

Darren Taylor.

Yeah, that'd be right.

I'll stay up here a bit longer.

You should be all right here till Monday.

Appreciate it.

And, uh, my bed's up here. You can use that.

I've got somewhere else to go. Right.

The bathroom.

Uh, that's the kitchen.

Help yourself to the food, though. There's not much of it.

I'll be fine.

Oh, yeah.

If you want to get me, call me on that number.

You all right?

Great.

Robbie, Robbie, Robbie.

It's me, Chris.

Chris, sorry. I thought it was him.

That was him.

I didn't mean to frighten you.

That's better.

So where have you been?

Till three in the morning.

I'll tell you later.

I'm going to get some sleep.

I don't think you'll be back.

No, no.

I just couldn't leave. I was stupid enough to get myself in the situation in

first place.

How could you?

0055 number.

I don't know.

Desperation.

Loneliness.

I didn't realise you were that lonely.

Chris, I work.

I look after the kids. I haven't got time to meet anyone.

That's the time I haven't even got the energy.

What am I?

What?

Being here.

Where are you going?

It's time to get up.

You're not going anywhere.

Are you sure you don't want some coffee?

No.

Just you?

Mommy!

Oh.

Hi,

Mom! Dad!

Hi!

Where did you two come from?

What are you eating?

Daddy's just staying for a night.

Cool.

Hello, Robbie.

Hello, Christopher.

Nice to see you.

Hi, Patricia.

I brought you some breakfast.

Thought you might like a treat.

Looks like you've already had one.

Mum. I'll leave you to it.

No, stay, please.

No, I've got to go, darling, really.

I'll see you all later.

Bye, kids.

Bye, Grandma.

Bye. Bye, Grandma.

I might get breakfast happening.

I've just got to get some other clothes.

Can we go?

Uh, not this time.

I'll tell you what.

Tell Mum to take some steaks out of the fridge and we'll have a barbie. Cool.

Good man.

See ya.

Detective Taylor and Harrison.

I spoke to you last night. We've been waiting for you.

What can I do for you?

You're just back from Mudgee, are we?

You're there too, eh?

There was no record of you landing there last night.

Well, I can't be responsible for you after your bookkeeping. I dropped the

off.

Left the night in the plane.

I'm back.

And I'm tired.

Sorry I can't help you.

Have a look around here.

What do you think, he's here?

Well, why would I hide a bloke who got me shot at?

Told you, I dropped him off.

Hey, aren't you blokes supposed to have a third's warrant or something?

You invited us in, Mr Manning, don't you remember?

You better be careful, Mr. Manning.

Very careful.

You got on the wrong side of the wrong people.

All right, where are you?

Thank God.

I couldn't hold on much longer.

I haven't gone.

You just made yourself an enemy.

to watch my back if I were you.

Thanks.

Dad? Yeah?

Are you and Mum getting married again?

Well, uh, let's see what happens.

Out like a light.

She's exhausted.

She's not the only one.

Perhaps we should all have a little lie down.

Chris.

I like being a family kid.

We're always a family.

I'll meet you, Robbie.

I don't want you to think...

Well, there's got to be some way you can find out who it was.

Forensics will get onto it straight away, but the fire will more than likely

have destroyed any evidence.

He's a chemical engineer. He won't leave me alone. Who else would it be?

Is there anybody else you can think of?

The point is, we could have been killed, and I want to know what you're going to

do about it. Everything we possibly can.

But unless we can find something, there's not much more we can go on. I'm

So in the meantime, my family's in danger. Well, we'll keep an eye on the

We'll do the best we can.

I'm going to get some clothes from my place.

It'll take me about a week to organise a removalist. Chris, what are you saying?

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

Chris, you're not moving back in.

Be realistic, please.

Can you honestly say, after the past few days, that you don't love me?

No, I still love you.

Well, I don't get it.

I loved you when we broke up.

Chris, we don't work well together. You know that.

What do you mean? What about last night?

Look, I needed the comfort, the closeness, and it was wonderful.

But it doesn't mean anything more than that.

Don't you remember what it was like?

The fights?

The violences?

The affairs?

Look, that was in the past.

That won't happen again.

Six months a year, it'll all start up again. No, it won't. It won't. I'm a

different person. Chris, I love what we have now.

You're my best friend.

You weren't that when you were my husband.

I'm not going to risk losing that.

I wasn't expecting you.

Neither was I.

I hope you don't mind.

Go for it.

I suppose you brought any food.

That's a good start.

That's for the parents.

Exactly.

But, you know, when I saw her pregnant with Jack, it changed.

There's something different about it.

Same.

Suddenly the most important thing, you're looking after them.

That's right.

You go sort of primal, you know. I mean, I remember walking down the street and

I...

Nudging people out of the way just so she wouldn't get bumped.

So what happened?

I blew it.

Well, you're an idiot.

Oh, no.

What about you? Can you get her back after this is over?

No.

She's got this guy.

That was quick.

No, they were friends for a while.

She used to cry on his shoulder.

I watched it happening.

Well, you're an idiot.

Yeah.

They're getting married.

Another family, another star. So it goes.

I didn't want to be part of it. That's all I want.

I had this family album.

Jackie took all the photos out and sent them to me.

She'd used scissors to cut me out.

There they were, her and the kids, smiling out their arms around this

blank, empty space.

That was you.

That was me.

The blank, empty space.

There's a couple of Ds coming in the front door.

Good.

Richard. Neil.

Thanks for coming.

Kenan.

This the guy?

Yeah, this is him.

Chris Manning, Richard Dwyer, Kenan Lynch.

Here it takes you all of 20 seconds to get a plane off the ground.

Only when I'm getting shot at.

These blokes are escorting me to court this morning.

Ah, the good guys.

We'd better go.

Right.

Well, this is it.

Thanks.

For everything.

I think if it hadn't been you, I'd be on the tarmac at Warren with a sheet over

me.

Yeah, well, don't get too misty.

I thought you were at least a hitman.

Whatever. Appreciate it.

By the way, the situation with Robbie and that bloke, I have a talk to some

friends with a better grasp of the law than your coppers.

I don't think he'll bother her again.

Thanks.

Morning. You covered from Saturday night?

Never felt better.

You didn't catch food poisoning as well, did you? Still hangover from hell.

How's your weekend?

Oh, I've got a sore bottom from horse riding.

It's been a while.

So what's been going on here? Anything happen?

Well, I thought something was going to happen, but it didn't.

What do you mean?

Oh, I went on a journey.

And you're back now.

Yep. I'm back.
