Original subtitles

Nothing personal, you know that.

Piss off, you mongrel.

I've got to check your catch. It's my job.

Yeah, and it makes other people's jobs too bloody hard.

I don't make the rules, Mario.

Listen, I'm telling you one last time. Do you want to stay healthy? Just keep

out of my way. You got that?

I hear you gave Mario a hard time. He deserved it.

It's my job to inspect the fleet.

Looks like I timed it just right then.

Your turn's coming, I promise you.

Hold it! Police!

Say what you are! Freeze!

My duty to inform you, you are not obliged to say anything.

If you wish to do so, it may be held in evidence against you. Do you understand?

Excuse me? I told you I'd come good.

You're bringing drugs in here. Banksy Bay is a major entry point. This bus

proves that. I see.

They don't know about you or me. I suppose you know what you've done.

He is actually a he.

One of my coast watchers, a fellow named Ray Logan, local fisheries inspector.

What's he done to you?

I won't know the full extent of the damage until I get there.

Fools tipped off the local police about heroin coming in through Banffia Bay via

the fishing fleet.

This morning they busted a man carrying less than 20 grand.

Under regulation size.

Should have thrown him back.

No, the problem is the man is not up to it. He's an enthusiastic amateur.

I've had umpteen tips from him over the years. Not one of them has checked out.

So why keep him on?

It's cheap.

Well, you know what they say.

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Well, Blake was probably just trying to impress you.

He's exceeded.

Anyway, there's no time to lose. We'll have to go ahead with the raid today

before the rest of the field finds out.

What difference does it make whether I fly with Blake? Rosie can get her hours

up just as easy with Paula as she can with me.

Hey, look, it wasn't my decision.

The schedule was on my desk when I got in.

Get over it, Scotty. I'm not exactly excited about it either.

Oh, it's not just that.

Um, I think that the boys were hoping to spend the day together to play a Bucks

night, Jimbo. How much planning does that need? All you have to do is switch

a beer tap and turn off your brain.

She doesn't understand. Well, I think she has got it pretty right, but, you

know, Jimbo might not want one. Well, he doesn't have a choice. It's tradition.

Jimbo!

What do you say to a Bucks night?

Oh, no, no, it's not really that kind of wedding.

What do you mean?

You're not going all conservative on us, are you?

No, no, no, it's just, um... Oh, come on, guys, you know why we're getting

married. Hey, it's still a wedding. Oh, yeah, but... Have you got a problem with

her?

With what?

With why she's marrying you.

No, no, of course not.

You know, we're getting married for Max.

That's him, by the boat.

Give this to him for me.

Coward. Why don't you front him yourself?

I've never met him and I prefer to keep it that way. The way he shoots from the

lip, the whole town will know who I am in ten minutes.

Take that, coward. How does gutless bastard sound?

I'd better get down to the police station, see what I can find out about

chap who was arrested this morning. I'll meet you back here in an hour.

Hey.

Where you up to?

Oh, uh... A place near Narrabri, cotton country.

Oh, yeah, tractor parts?

Yeah, some sort of mechanical stuff.

Uh, Jimbo?

Um, everything OK?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm OK, I think.

You don't seem... You don't seem... If it's about that Bucks night, it's just,

you know... No, no, no, it's not that. It's just, you know, this is a really

number that you're taking on and it's not going to be easy for you.

Oh, I think it'll be OK. You know, Max is a terrific kid.

I'm not just talking about Max.

Yeah, well... I just wanted you to know that I'm here if you need to talk to

anyone or you need a hand with anything or, you know.

OK.

Thanks.

I think it'll be OK.

OK.

Right, Logan?

It's a lot of it.

No, I'm Chris Manning.

Lightfoot couldn't make it. He asked me to give you this.

I guess he's pretty upset with me, eh?

He might have handled things a bit better.

Well, I'm just trying to prove my own right.

Hold on.

This isn't fair.

I've always given him good information.

I don't think that's a problem.

I can prove this place is a major entry point, right?

He can't sack me.

Well, he reckons you've crueled his chances of doing that.

Poor bloke was totally gutted.

I wasn't obliged to pay him anything. It was just a goodwill gesture.

I don't think he even looked at the damn money.

Keenness is not enough, Chris.

You going ahead with the raid on the fleet? I've got no choice.

Thanks to your friend Logan, it's now or never.

Federal police are on their way.

We'll hit the fleet when it comes into port today.

What do you want me to do?

As soon as we know they're on their way in, I want you upstairs to keep your eye

on any stragglers and take Logan with you. Keep him well out of the way.

Morning. Murray Crowe. Jimbo Jones, how are you?

This for you?

Hope so.

Yep.

It's taken eight weeks and they're finally here.

You've got an old pipe, right?

Tomahawk. Oh, yeah. Held together with blue tack and little bits of barbed

Might be able to get someone to fly the old girl once I get her fixed.

A piece of cake.

Oh, you know about these things, do you?

Oh, well, I've read the manual.

Look, I tell you what, I could have a look at it for you, if you like.

I couldn't afford to pay you.

Oh, that's OK.

You mean that.

I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Are you sure? Yeah, sure.

You see, the thing about sticking your head in an engine is that it gives you

time to think.

There's nothing I'm rushing back for.

How many went out last night?

Four.

Five, counting Tony Rossi.

He went out a bit later than Alice.

Well, that's five. We've got to make sure it'll come back in.

Yeah.

Can't believe I'm still doing this.

Thanks, Chris.

Yeah, well, the more eyes the better. How are we doing?

They're heading for home.

First one's not far off the bar.

They all in?

Quite.

There's one still out the back.

Can't make out who it is.

Let's take a closer look.

Lightfoot. Most of the herd are inside the paddock. We've just got one

straggler. We're going to try and identify him right now.

Got that.

Keep me posted.

Exactly. Heights McGuff.

You think Mario could be the one bringing the stuff in?

Sure.

What's the story between you and him?

Doesn't matter the way I do my job.

I haven't a lot of time for him either.

It's a test.

Tony, Rossi, don't move. Make a point.

Hey,

what's all this about?

Please, just stay there, matey. We've got to watch this guy. Don't move and

don't touch him.

She's sitting there.

Like he's drifting.

See anyone?

Not on the deck.

Lightfoot.

Our stray seems to be lying doggo.

What do you want me to do about it?

I've sent someone out to collect it.

You might as well come home.

I suppose I ought to tell you.

That man fell.

Who fell?

Maria's wife.

A lot of fish.

I thought it was when my husband died.

Then I found out I'm only a minority shareholder.

Oh, the bank, huh?

The bank.

Want a cuppa before we get started?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind making a phone call too, if that's alright.

Wear things with a box, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, sort of.

And where are you calling from?

I got a lift into town. I'm calling from the pub.

You're going to be pushing it to get back tonight.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Even if the garage can weld it, I don't think I'll be able to get out of here

till morning.

Well, what are you going to do, get a room in a hotel or something?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do my best. I mean, if the worst comes to worst, I can

sleep on the plane.

What's happening?

Jimbo's broken down. He might be stuck in Shannon Springs for the evening.

Bummer.

Take care, Jimbo, and I'll see you tomorrow. Hang on. Jimbo, do you want me

tell Jodie?

Yeah,

you'd better be good if you could.

And could you tell the folks I'm really sorry, because I'm sure I'm really going

to miss being tied to a lamppost naked in King's Cross.

I don't know. I think I'd like to see that.

OK.

See you.

Everything OK?

Yeah, yeah, more or less.

Sort of, more or less.

Okay, I can take a hint.

Maybe the bird's flying. I wouldn't call it a total washer.

We did score a handful of amphetamines in a bag of grass.

Still one to come in.

I'm not riding this off until that last boat's been stripped bare.

Should be back by now.

I think you guys should get back.

Mario Tinelli?

Yep.

That explains why he didn't come in with the others. No, do you think? Well, I

suppose it could be accidental, but I wouldn't put the house on it.

Question is, who wanted him dead?

I'm more interested in why than who.

Well, he had no drugs form. There were a couple of assault charges from a few

years back, and the boat was clean. Look, there's something I should tell

Ray was having an affair with a dead man's wife.

He told you that?

Yeah.

I'm not suggesting there's any connection.

Well, it's worth passing on to the homicide boy.

Well? You going to say anything?

Like what?

Well, you know what Ray was doing last night.

And you know how vital confidentiality is to my business.

I've still got a few toes in the water.

If I get a move on, I might be able to salvage something from this disaster.

As I told you, Mario wouldn't even let me on board last night.

That saved me a couple of hours.

Can anyone confirm your whereabouts between two and, say, six?

Mrs. Pennelly. There's no need to involve Sal on this.

When I came back to the dock, Tony Rossi was just going out.

He saw me.

We'll be talking with Mr. Rossi. Good. But even if he can confirm you're at the

docker too, we still need to know your whereabouts after that.

I'm sorry, fellas.

I'm not at liberty to discuss that.

Where did the kind of evidence the local boys come up with?

Doesn't sound like Mario was too popular.

There'd have to be a few suspects.

Yeah, including your friend Ray Logan.

Ray Logan could knock the skin off a custard.

Even the mildest man could be moved to murder under the right circumstances.

Not him.

He hasn't got it in him.

And I think I know him better than you. I've actually spent some time with him.

Isn't it more likely that Mario fell out with some other drug runner?

Unless, of course, you're starting to doubt your information.

No, thank you, babe. It's certainly the major point of entry, but whether the

door is closed or not, we're just going to have to wait and see.

What's it all about? Come on, what's it all about?

It's ridiculous.

You've got no reason to... We need to question him in connection with the

of your husband, Mrs Tennelly. But what about Tony? He must have told you he saw

Ray come back in. He says he didn't see Ray all night.

And a neighbour remembers him coming home well after 6am.

Don't worry about it.

Just so you realise I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Ah, Chris. Someone's on the phone from Banksy. We're looking for Lightfoot.

Good morning.

but I think Ray Logan might have mentioned me to you.

Yes, he did.

What can I do for you?

I really wanted to talk to someone called Lightfoot but he's not answering

phone.

And how can I help?

Ray's been arrested and I'm not sure what to do.

Arrested?

He's going to be charged with the murder of my husband.

Lightfoot seems to have a lot of pull with the police and I figure he owes

I'll try and contact Lightfoot.

Sit tight and try not to worry, okay?

I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

I think he deserves some loyalty.

He gave it to you in spades.

Like enthusiasm, it isn't enough. It doesn't pay the rent.

Oh, um, economic rationalism meets espionage, eh?

If you like.

Would you stay loyal to a pilot who kept cracking your planes? You'd go out of

business.

That's a crude analogy.

Anyhow... You could give him an alibi if you wanted to. Only by perjuring

myself.

You would have absurdity.

Probably. And he was working for him, so he says.

But I've no way of knowing that for sure.

Even if I was prepared to explain my connection with him.

So you were just going to throw Ray Logan to the wolves even though you know

he's not guilty?

He had both motive and opportunity.

He was sleeping with the victim's wife. He was seen in the vicinity of the

victim's boat arguing with him at about the time of the murder. It's not a bad

case. Ray Logan is not a murderer.

I cannot for the life of me understand why you want to stick your neck out for

this bloke. Because it's right.

And because you won.

Fine.

If that's what you want to do, I have other lines of inquiry to pursue.

Hello, Brainy. And Chris is busy.

And Jimbo's not here.

You know what we mean.

Look, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

We should be able to sort out some pretty amazing outfits from this lot.

I'm going to try to find some glasses.

Okay.

So, yeah, I'm starting to feel a bit nervous.

Oh, I don't know.

It's not exactly the kind of wedding I imagined I'd have.

No heart for flowers, huh?

No, not that so much.

Well, we all fantasize about that perfect man madly in love with us.

I'm marrying someone who loves my kid.

Hey, it's not a bad start.

Yeah, I know.

I'm really grateful. I can't believe he's doing it.

I've been giving him a hard time lately, too.

It's going to be a great wedding, Jodie.

Yeah, we'll make sure of that.

Yeah, well...

Kev was six foot four and about 16 stone.

You sure it's all right for me to stay the night?

Of course it is.

Look at you doing me a favour.

Yeah, it should just take me a couple more hours to fix that old crate of

Besides, I'm sure that whoever or whatever you're running away from can

another day.

It's that obvious, is it? I'm sure it's none of my business.

I just need some time to sort everything out, you know, away from everything.

Honey, you're as welcome as the rats under the house.

Just as long as you're not a serial killer.

I'm prepared to bet against that.

You often gamble with your life?

Every day.

Don't you?

Of course they'll be

back. Not so sure.

Sorry, guys. Still no word.

Done a runner, all right? You got a better explanation?

Yeah, you don't know him.

Djibouti's not like that.

French Foreign Legion's full of guys like Jimbo.

Oh, yeah, what kind of guys would they be?

Look, we can only do what we can do, OK?

Now, are you going to have time to collect the cake from Barbora Heads?

Don't forget to wriggle it. Ah, start wriggling.

Now, look, Scotty and Rose are going to be back by one o 'clock from Vegas, so

they're going to have enough time to organise the venue and all that new

OK. What about the flowers?

Not only bought but paid for. They will be there in time. Great. Now all we have

to do is wait for Jimbo to show up.

Yeah, you better actually ring that hotel in Santa's Springs. See when he's

checked out and checked out.

Oh, yeah, but I can't remember the name.

Oh, just ring them all. It can't be too many.

OK.

Are you sure not even a B &B or a holiday farm?

100Ks, huh?

No, I guess it doesn't seem likely, does it?

Thank you.

What's up, Jo?

I can't find Jimbo.

He said he was staying in a hotel at Shannon Springs, except there is no

and there's no accommodation of any kind for at least 100Ks.

Well, maybe he slept in the plane.

Yeah, so why isn't he answering his radio?

I give up. Why isn't he answering his radio?

Rosie, I'm serious.

What if he doesn't come back? What if I have to cancel the wedding?

He'll be back.

Yeah, well, I wish I could be sure of that.

Seriously, have we got a situation here? Is it usual for Jimbo to go out of his

way to stuff things up?

Yeah.

And yeah.

Sierra, lead a lane.

Copy that. Thanks, then, mate.

Oh, Tony.

Sal, I'm really sorry about what's happened.

Yeah, thanks.

I mean, we had our differences, Murray and me, as you know.

But he wasn't a bad bloke. Oh, you know what he was like, Tony. He was a

violent, brutal man.

Did he know about you and Ray?

He didn't even suspect that he would have fed us both to the sharks.

Stopped you from trying it on.

What's he got that eye of him, eh?

Your little maiden.

Everything.

You wouldn't be Sally Tonelli, would you?

I'm Chris Manning.

Oh, Mr Manning, I'm so pleased to see you.

That Lightfoot bloke not with you?

No.

Look, I'm going to go and see Ray. Do you want to come?

Yeah, please.

Who's that boy?

Tony Rossi. My husband's ex -partner.

He had some major falling out. I don't know what it was about.

But I know he's lying about what time Ray came in the other night.

The Bank Street Bay catchment is cold.

Dryden's just arrived. He'll be collecting the fish any moment.

Off you go.

Dryden's here. He's going in.

Okay. Good.

Hiya, Jack.

Dryden. The regular shipment arrived?

Ready and waiting.

Thank you, Mr. Craig.

Nice catch.

Yeah, so I was, um, I was stoked when I thought he was mine.

Didn't you hate her when you found out she'd been a bit careless with the

Yeah, a little bit.

Could you, uh, squirt some magic stuff on that?

I could see where she was coming from.

You know, she just wanted what was best for the kid.

What about Max?

Did you feel different about him?

Oh, no, Max is a great kid, you know. I get on really well with him, that's why

it didn't matter.

So when they came down to Sydney and she asked me to look after him, you know,

in case she wasn't going to be around, I didn't think twice.

Now you're having second thoughts.

No -one can blame you. It's a big responsibility.

Yeah, but that's just it. I don't mind the responsibility of looking after Max.

Being a single parent, you know, that's fine.

So what's your problem, Jimbo?

I don't know, it's just... It just doesn't feel right anymore.

Are you sure it's just not this whole marriage thing?

Now, some blokes would rather wrestle a shark than say I do.

No, not me.

Well, if it's not that, and it's not the kid, it must have something to do with

the woman.

Like what?

Well, maybe, you know, deep down inside, you don't really like her.

Oh, no, no, I love her.

That wasn't supposed to happen.

Are you going to tell her?

I don't know.

Don't be afraid of grief, Jimbo.

You know you're going to lose her, so you've tried to pretend to yourself that

you don't really and truly love her.

And then when she dies, it'll be easy to handle.

Do you think?

I think that's what you think.

The problem is that by the time you let yourself feel it all...

It'll be too late. I know, because when Kev got sick, I just shut down. I went

into total denial.

The hard thing, though, is that she doesn't love me.

Well, you know, not in the way that you want a woman to love you.

Are you sure she doesn't?

Well, she treats me more like a brother, you know. She's never used the L word.

But then neither have you, have you?

No, it doesn't look good, but there is bound to be a perfectly logical

explanation for this.

I just feel really guilty. I feel like I've forced him to give everything up.

Look, I don't believe that Jimbo would just walk out on you and Max like that.

Huh?

I've had a feeling about this.

I think maybe I've put too much pressure on him.

Jodie, there's still plenty of time. He hasn't missed anything yet.

Jay, he's not where he said he was going to be, is he?

He's obviously not communicating with anyone.

Yeah, well, bottom line, he's hardly going to steal a plane.

He's probably left it where it landed and got a train to Perth or something.

Jodie, look, it's a little bit too soon to be assuming the worst, don't you

think?

I know you can't blame him, I suppose.

And why would you want to be stuck with someone else's kid for the rest of your

life? Because he said he wanted to.

Yeah, well, he's obviously changed his mind.

I might as well start packing.

Just forget this whole crazy idea and just go home.

How are they treating you?

Oh, good.

Decent blokes here.

Good of you to come back, Chris.

Well, I don't know if I can do much.

But if I can help in any way, it's Lightfoot's representative.

Pity the mystery man won't do something himself.

Well, he's in a difficult situation.

The less people that know what he looks like, the better.

Sure.

I'll be out of your scene.

I don't think they'll even charge me.

They'll only keep me here as long as they're allowed to.

Then? Then this town won't see us for dust.

Who do you think did it, Ray?

The only thing I'd stake my life on is that it's drug -related.

But you said before you didn't think Mario was involved.

Yeah, well, he's definitely not the type to be involved in drugs, but I guess if

he found out about it, he might have trialled to blackmail who was doing it.

That's more his style.

What about the ex -partner?

Tony Rossi?

Yeah.

He could have been a contender.

I've always wanted to know why him and Mario split up. They've been partners

years.

I might have a word with Tony.

Big guy, this is Julian Oscar Charlie.

Jim Buck.

Julian Oscar, where are you and where the hell have you been?

Sorry, guys, I had a bit of a temporary brain sprain, but...

It's all right now.

That's great, Jimmo, but Jodie and Max are booked on a train to go home this

evening.

Say again, Big Sky?

Yeah, you heard right, mate. We're going to be all dressed up with no place to

go tomorrow unless you get back here ASAP.

Yeah, with a really terrific excuse and the world's best grovel.

Just get your backside into the cockpit and pray for a tailwind.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I'm travelling.

Juliet Oscar.

Good luck.

She won't have you.

I could use a good -looking pilot around here.

It's a thing you just deal when you haven't got a gun.

Change of mind.

What do you mean?

I thought you were happy to let Ray dangle in the breeze.

Nothing to do with Logan. If you want to waste your time trying to save him,

that's your affair.

I told you I had faith that one of my contacts would bring me back here, and

has.

Oh, good.

Everything all right back at the base, Black? Yes, sir. Jimbo's finally called

in. Did he save it?

Oh, forget it.

I'm sure I'll hear about it later.

I'm sure we all will, sir.

So where were you off to?

We're going to see Mario's ex -partner, a boy called Tony Rochi.

I think he's got a few questions to answer.

He certainly has. I've just had him detained.

I'm on my way to question him before he has major heroin -importing charges laid

against him.

Juliet, Oscar, call me. Guy, that's the tailwind I was praying for. It's hitting

me right on the nose.

Juliet, Oscar, pray harder.

Do you think any of you could put in a good word for me?

I think my credit limit upstairs is overdrawn.

Jimbo, look, give him present course and speed. Can you give him an ETA, please?

Oh, about two hours.

Look, do any of you know if the North Coast train's running the schedule?

To the minute, Jimbo. I've already checked.

Damn it.

I can't read you. Say again, Juliet Oscar.

Oh, sorry.

Cursors. What the dickens. By Crikey, that's bad. Never mind.

Copy that, Juliet Oscar.

I can't believe two hours is only another two hours.

Big Sky, I don't suppose there's any chance you could set up a roadblock

Central, or phone in a bomb threat, or how about getting them to suddenly go on

strike?

We're just going to have a little chat, Tony.

I'm not sailing until my solicitor gets here. Your friend Dryden's told us

everything we need to know.

I just thought you might like to score a few brownie points by telling us about

your suppliers.

Sorry, I'm not the suicidal type.

But you don't mind a little murder between friends?

What's he talking about?

We know Mario was onto your business enterprises and trying a little

And if those blood samples we took from your sea boots match his, you're going

to have to deal with homicide as well as this.

He can't pin that on me.

It was an accident.

We were arguing.

A wave hit the boat just as he took a swing at me.

He went down and hit his head on the winch.

I think we'd better take a look at those boots now.

What? Well, what?

Come on, don't play games. Are they at home? Are they at the station? What?

Where?

Train left half an hour ago, Jimbo.

Oh, I'm glad you're finding it amusing.

I might have just made the worst decision of my entire miserable life.

Yeah, you certainly did cut it fine.

Well, I offered to give Jodie and Max a lift to the station, but, you know, left

our run a bit late, and then, you know, that traffic ran red, so very bad.

But they missed the train.

Yeah, by that much.

You're beautiful.

Where are they?

At home, unpacking.

Jimbo, you really did cut it fine.

I'm sorry I didn't... Why didn't you tell me you were breaking up?

Look, I never wanted you to feel like you had to marry me if it wasn't for me.

Listen.

Look, I realized something today.

I think I've known you for quite a while, but I was afraid.

I don't know if you love me like I love you, but I want you to know that I

love you with all my heart and soul, and I want to marry you more than anything

I've wanted in my entire life.

And I want you to stay here as long as you can.

Because the idea of being apart from you just... just scares the hell out of me.

Okay, I will.

And I do love you just exactly the same way.

He picks it up at night in drums that have been dropped overboard from tanks.

And he stashes it right under everybody's noses in the cold store.

And then he sends it regular freight to Sydney, resold to the same buyer.

Reasonably imaginative operation.

Suppose I shouldn't have been so critical of Logan for not working it all

He came pretty damn close.

Do you believe Rothby's story about how Mario died?

Reason for their split is obvious.

Mario didn't want to risk direct involvement.

Tony and his partners in crime may have just got tired of paying for his

silence.

I have to tell you, I would have found it difficult to keep working with you if

you hadn't helped get Ray off the hook.

I was starting to wonder what kind of support I could count on if I ever got

a strife.

You know people are different.

Maybe we just place a high value on loyalty.

I'd like to welcome you all here today to gather and celebrate.

I promise

this won't be a long speech, but I think somebody ought to say something,

and somebody ought to be me.

Now, what can I say?

Jimbo, you don't deserve it, but you've called yourself a beautiful woman.

I know you understand that, but I wonder if Jodie knows what she's getting

herself in for.

Jodie, if you were looking for a practical, reliable, feet -on -the

of guy, and I'm sorry, but you've missed out.

But if you're looking for a generous, warm,

loving person, somebody who doesn't have a mean bone in their body, and somebody

you know will always be there for you,

then you couldn't have done any better.

I wish you joy and happiness.

Jimbo and Jodie.
