That red clay gets everywhere, eh?

Mungle sticky stuff it is.

That's got a few questions.

I got nothing to hide.

Cowboy was shot from somewhere around the field near the car park.

He was shot from a distance.

Do you know who shot Cowboy?

It should have been me.

You reckon she's your mum?

Old Ward 7 has a room full of archives and records. That area is restricted.

Looks like your mother died from complications during childbirth.

This is my punishment.

For the things I've done.

They took the children away.

They took the children away.

What the fuck are you doing, Jay? You can't leave him in there.

Took the children away.

What's going on?

I think Anya's been taken into care.

At least we know she's safe.

Being in care isn't safe.

Hey, hey.

You all right?

I was going to name him Leroy.

He came early.

Wasn't moving.

Breathing. Why is Leroy now, Anna?

I thought the police would take care of him.

Make sure he wasn't another forgotten kid.

What's going to happen to Lana?

That's not up to me.

Don't mention Swayze to anyone.

Not yet.

Is he going to be okay?

I'll make sure that he is.

I don't care.

I got that meeting with Susan today.

Hey, she hasn't said a word, not since you were here last night.

Can I go home now?

I've got to talk to you about something first.

Lana, who's the... Who's the baby's father?

I don't know.

That's a cowboy?

First time I met you, you told me the bikes the cowboy had were hot.

Felt like he was trying to put him in it.

He told me he was going to leave town, but he never did.

Next day, a cowboy was shot.

You think that I shot him?

I tried to get back at him because of the baby.

I told you those bikes were hot because you were going to figure it out anyway.

I'm just wondering what someone like you was doing with someone like him.

When I was aged out of care, they wanted to send me 100 Ks from here.

100 Ks away from my brother.

I couldn't do that.

I had nowhere.

Cowboy gave me a place.

He was taking advantage of you.

I knew what I was doing.

I was taking advantage of him too.

Until he tried to kick you out.

He tried.

But I wasn't going anywhere without Swayze.

I didn't kill him.

Why didn't you come to the hospital?

I didn't want what happened to me and Swayze to happen to my baby.

Growing up a nobody.

Parked around.

Moved on.

That might not have happened.

It's always happening.

Every day.

No one's going to stop them.

You think of any reason why Lana would have risked having her baby at home

rather than come to the hospital?

Well, you know what aboriginals are like. They've got trust issues.

It's understandable, I suppose, but I think they just need to learn to move

Been out to Sam's farm recently?

Jeez, I don't know.

A few months ago for firewood.

You sure about that?

Well, the last time I checked, I didn't have memory loss, so yeah, I'm sure.

Look, am I in trouble here or something?

Could anyone else have taken your vehicle out there?

My wife Susan sometimes borrows my car, but she doesn't go to the farm anymore.

Why's that?

Because she's got no reason to.

Her parents used to own the place when they died.

They left it to the church, and I don't like her going there anymore.

Why not?

Look, Detective, I've got more important things to talk about than my wife's

daily travels.

Anyway, wasn't she due at your place about now?

Dealing with the allegations is one issue, but there's a more serious

The department are claiming that both you and Jay don't have legal

of Anya.

This is bureaucratic bullshit.

I'm an auntie. Doesn't that mean something?

I'm afraid that no official order was submitted after the parents were

incarcerated.

So it means that legal guardianship remains with the parents.

How can they have guardianship if they're in jail?

I know that can be frustrating.

It's something we all hope the department will address.

But for now, that's just how things work.

Jail. Apparently Xavier and Leticia still have custody of Anya, even though

they're in jail.

Okay.

So what do we have to do? We've got some paperwork to sign.

I'm afraid it's not that simple now that Anya's been put into care.

Since both parents are currently incarcerated...

It's just Gary.

Like I was saying.

Since both parents are currently incarcerated, legal guardianship then

the next of kin family.

Yeah, which is me.

Us. Well, the department has Letitia's father's family as registered foster

carers. You're joking.

Not the Southwells? The Southwells are a family with lots to offer Anya by way

of schooling and housing.

And a police detective and a registered nurse have nothing to offer Anya?

Or is it because the Southwells are white?

Mary?

Anya's welfare is front and centre here, and from what I'm hearing, the

department think that Anya would be better off with the Southwells. The

department don't think twice when they lock up the parents of young kids.

But when the family, they come in and they step up...

And they sort it out and then the department has something to say about

You can appeal.

You can challenge the decision if you find there's a good reason why you think

Anya shouldn't be with the Southwells, but it will take months.

And the facts are, you two had no legal right to take Anya from her hometown.

There was nothing left for her, Darlene.

For any of us.

What I can do is request a meeting between you two and Anya before she's

Bullshit.

There's no way the Southwells are getting Anya.

We're challenging.

And you know what?

We've got a pretty good case, too.

I mean, what kind of people send a kid to live with a family of murderers?

I don't know what you're going to work for. You should be resting.

I wouldn't lie around here all day.

No, thank you. I'll go mad.

And don't worry about the dishes.

I'll clean them up before I go.

Yes, Woody, you can stay here as long as you like.

Okay, family, we... we argue sometimes.

Look at me and my little brother.

Am I right?

You ready to talk?

You still think Joey had something to do with Scarlet?

No, I think she's with her mum.

Is that just a theory?

If I knew, I'd have to report it.

Of course you would.

Joey?

Don't worry.

I won't tell.

I've got bigger secrets to worry about.

My suffering at your hands has helped me see the way.

What secrets?

There is a garden.

And the flowers will bloom again.

I'm going to make everyone see that way too.

Why didn't you tell me?

There's been a break -in.

Gary Ward 7.

Anything been taken?

It's hard to tell with all this junk everywhere.

Check the dispensary, see if they got in there and helped themselves.

Looks like a bunch of bored kids broke in and made a mess.

Dispensary's fine. No medicines missing. Thank God.

Alice, make sure you lock up.

I bet it's that bunch of kids that's going to thank you.

Oh, let's see my note.

What are you looking at?

I'm just looking.

Some of the native admission files are gone.

Yeah.

And how did you know where they were?

Second thought, don't answer that.

Neither of us are authorized to be in here, Mary.

Okay, um... Maybe we don't tell Susan.

I mean, they're just the old bits of paper.

They're the history.

Our history.

It's all some of us mob have left.

Why is he?

You all right?

Yeah, just tired.

Can't sleep.

How's my sister?

She's all right.

She just needs to rest.

When's she going to get me?

Soon.

You never told me why you were running away from the farm.

Was it Sam?

You said bad things happened there.

What kind of bad things?

Ghosts.

Ghosts?

Yeah.

They're from people who used to live there.

These ghosts talk to you.

They think I'm mad in the head, eh?

Like all them over at the hospital.

You tell Lana about these ghosts you saw?

Got your stuff back from the hospital.

Put that thing away from me.

Chuck it away.

Burn it.

Okay.

There. It's gone.

You want to

talk about the hut?

Thanks, mate.

What are you having, mate?

Just a glass of water, thanks.

You see my brother around?

He's missed him.

He's here all afternoon holding a bar up.

Sorry about that.

Cheers.

Never know when to stop, do you, Sam?

Enough's enough, though. Why don't you...

Go back to the farm and just stay there.

He's still doing what he's doing.

Whiteness.

Mum, just leave it.

Let's go home.

We're just like the rest of them.

Hopefully you'll drink yourself to death.

Stop it, both of you!

Stop!

The fuck is that?

He had to take a bit to get that crop down. He must really have some beef with

the Almighty.

You going to do anything about this?

Not yet. God will punish him.

If somebody else doesn't punish him first.

Shit, I need to travel.

Hey, Jay, we'll go together, eh?

Nick, I need a six pack for the ride, mate.

Yes.

Joy?

You want to take a seat?

On the street one day, I saw a policeman.

I'm not doing any harm.

I am the beggar man.

Easy, mate.

Hey, Joey.

What the hell are you doing driving around town with St. Joseph's Cross on

back of your truck, eh?

Paperwork on this is going to be a fucking nightmare.

Fuck, this day just gets worse and worse.

Huh? Hey, Joey.

Look at this.

There's one crime, though.

Brilliant.

What do you think you're doing, Joey?

Dragging this through the middle of town?

I want everyone to see the way.

Oh, bloody hell! Bloody hell! No, no! She can put me out!

Careful. It's not too bad.

It's not helping, Simone.

No, it is helping.

Of course it's helping.

You'll be all right. Hang tight.

All right.

That's theft and vandalism, aside from anything else.

You're not going to hurt me again.

I'll tell everyone what you did.

Oh, come on, Joe.

Leave him. He's not going anywhere.

I need the files, Joe.

They're in there.

They're real stories.

All of them.

Keep it.

You know, I've been

oxy -welding with my old man since I was 10 years old.

I mean, Joey wasn't looking after his equipment properly. That shouldn't have

happened.

What do you mean?

Well, I reckon his lines were stuffed.

You stupid bastard.

Now, you really should stay overnight so we can monitor you.

No, it's all right. A couple of painkillers, I'll be fine. Fair enough.

Most people can't wait to get out of here.

I'm sick of this bloody town.

Stuff the pension, stuff the 30 -year service. I think I might just go bush.

You know?

And I met my old man happy. You got someone in your life that you're just

trying to impress?

Well, don't do it, Swan.

Every chance they get, they just turn it around and they use it against you.

And even after they're gone.

They stay in your head.

Anyway, you go home.

Look after your wife.

We'll deal with this shit tomorrow, okay?

See you in the morning.

How was your night?

I read this.

You okay?

Yeah.

He wanted to give me up.

But she didn't.

Amen, Bob.

They've been looking after you?

She's being well looked after.

Hi, Anya.

What happens next?

Everything's been finalised and approved.

This afternoon she'll be sent to Latika's mother's family who are ready

receive her.

The Southwells? No, the other side.

The Aboriginal side.

Well, that's a relief at least.

No, it's not.

They don't even know Anya.

We don't get to contest these?

You have to go through the courts.

Well, she's got her stuff at home, so she's going to have to come get it. No,

sorry.

Anya, do you want to come home with Anya and Uncle?

All right, I think that's enough. It's time for you to leave. No, no, our time

isn't done yet. Please don't raise your voice. You're just going to upset her.

You're the only one who's going to upset her. Mary.

No, no,

no. See, Anya needs to come home with us.

If you don't calm down, I'll have no choice but to remove the child for her

well -being.

Do you want?

Thank you.

We have to go, Mary.

Ronnie loves you.

I'm going to bring you home, okay?

Give this to Anya.

She's been waiting for it.

Anya's a strong kid.

She needs to be here.

With us.

I'm just wondering... What's best for her, you know?

What do you think I'm doing?

Yeah, I know.

I just mean putting her back in the system again, going back in forces.

Is that the right thing to do?

Well, of course it's the right thing.

And we have a family.

So are the people that she's going to.

Maybe it's good if she's with them for a while. It's not the South Wales.

Are you serious?

I'll never accept that.

Jay, a part of me is gone.

So that's it, is it?

What, we just forget about Anya now, just like that?

Jay!

Wow, that was...

What was that all about then?

Sorry, sex.

Sorry, sex? Like, sorry for the stolen generation?

What? No.

Well, you shouldn't be sorry. Oh, leave me alone.

You can look now, Uncle.

Uncle, you've got to show respect.

I'm really sorry I didn't alibi you the other night.

It's just... What?

I have a fiancé.

What? Where is he? No, he does firefight.

He's always away. He's always away.

Fuck you now. You made me heartbreak.

No, I want to break it off with him, but...

Don't have the guts.

I know. I thought I had you figured it out, but I was way off.

You're not a racist.

It's good.

It's good. It's good.

You're a cheater.

It's fine by me.

Yeah.

Don't look up.

Sounds like the starter motor's cooked.

Know where I can get one?

Oh, you'd probably have to order one in.

Just flip the lid for me, will ya?

I thought your mum had a drive in this car. Biggest mistake I ever made.

And the only time she let me drive it after that was when she was too big with

you in her belly.

She couldn't fit behind the steering wheel.

Sounds like mum.

You're the spitting image of your mother right now.

We had a lot of fun back in the day.

Your mother and I. Oh, God.

So much fun you decided to handball your problems off to someone else.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

No, what?

I know you're... wanted to put me up for adoption, I saw the papers.

What?

I saw your signature.

I saw that Mum signed with an ex.

Did you force her?

Is that why she ran away from you?

Oh.

And is that why you were pissed at Sister Kerry that day?

Because she was going to tell the truth on you.

And now she's dead.

I don't know what papers you've seen, but you're wrong.

I never wanted to put you up for adoption, never. Thank you for the lift.

Mary.

How well do you know Sam?

Gary was saying that your parents used to own New Paradise Farm.

It wasn't called that then.

How did Sam end up managing the place?

He grew up there.

I thought he went to St Joseph's.

It was a bit of a handful for them.

My parents offered to foster him.

They helped a lot of kids out over the years.

How was Sam a handful?

Oh, he was a young Aboriginal boy in a home.

Angry.

Fighting with the other kids.

Fighting against the world.

The farm seemed to calm him. It only made sense for him to stay on after the

church took over.

Sister Kerry pushed for it.

So the church runs the place?

They just own the land, like a lot of places around here. The pub, the school,

half the hospital.

Sam's doing good things there.

Gary wouldn't agree.

He's always been jealous about how close Sam and I are.

We grew up together.

Explains a little dance at the pub, eh?

They'll never be best mates.

But since Sam fell off the wagon, I don't know, some people shouldn't drink.

When did Sam start drinking again?

He's always struggled.

But I think Sister Kerry's death really kicked off this round.

She was the closest thing he had to a mother.

I was so worried about him.

Couldn't sleep.

I went out to the farm the first thing the next morning.

Without telling your husband?

He was heading off on the Easter hunt.

The morning cowboy was shot?

Must have been, yes.

How was Sam that morning?

Gary doesn't have to know.

Too late for that.

He knows.

Here we are.

Thanks, mate.

No hot meal at home?

Sublime paradise.

Well, before you know it, you'll be on to your third divorce.

Then you'll be all on your lonesome.

Well, that's all right.

And if you stick your neck out too far, they'll chop your head off.

And if you're a woman or a black fella... Thanks for the

advice.

You want some advice?

If someone offers you a bribe, take it.

Seriously.

You can still squeal. No one will know it was you.

It's all I've learned in 30 years in the police force.

Let's talk about Sam.

What are you thinking?

We knew Joey was in danger.

I checked the hoses, looked like they were deliberately cut.

Sam really didn't care about Joey.

I mean, like, you could get Gary's head in, you saw that.

I was shooting.

They hunt together.

Competition shooting.

Yeah, have a look at this.

Sam, Gary, and me.

Who was the best shooter?

Sam by a mile.

Too bad the drink kept bringing him undone.

And you didn't think to tell me this.

Stick to my fishing.

March rifles, long -range target shooting, around 400 metres, about the

of this water tower.

So, Cowboy's killer, you reckon, is one of them three blokes back in there?

Or even old Mick, you reckon he's a suspect?

I don't think Mick had a motive to kill Cowboy.

Well, but Dr. Gary or Sam do.

I'm not so good with heights.

I think I'll sit this one out.

What do you reckon?

That's almost an impossible shot.

You'd have to be a champion shooter.

You right there, brother?

Winchester seems to be the bullet of choice around here.

Yeah, it does the job.

What can you tell me about this?

Remington? No, we don't sell them here.

When was the last time Gary Lloyd or Sam Anderson bought some bullets off you?

Gaz comes in every so often.

Sammy never gets his ammo from here.

Why's that?

He never liked Winchester.

Remington was his go -to.

Something to do with his competitive days.

That's what he told me Sam was at the farm.

That's what he told me.

I had that piece already, but I guess we can swap.

Get from there, that's my... Where's Sam?

He's going to town.

Whereabouts in town?

Didn't say.

Maybe pub, shop?

If you don't tell me where he's going, someone might get hurt.

Promise you won't tell anyone I told you?

I promise.

Where's Swayze?

Is he a cowboy?

Swayze, he's in trouble.

Your brother's okay?

No, he's not okay.

Lana, Lana, Lana.

I've got to go, please. Let me out.

Alice! No,

please. No, please. Let me go. Oh, Susan.

Please. Lana, you're not well. You have to rest.

Sam, he's heading for Calvary.

He's after my brother. Please.

Okay. All right. We'll sort it. I'm going to need you to lay back down,

Okay. Breathe. I need you to breathe.

I need you to breathe.

There we go.

Hey butter.

I got it all wrong. I gotta go. Hey.

Something I gotta do. They are part of an ongoing investigation.

So until we're satisfied, get behind the other side of the counter or I'll put

you in a fucking cell.

I haven't forgotten about what you did.

I'm coming back for you. You need to get out to the farm and get those kids.

And get Swayze.

Swayze ran away from the farm. Why would he go back? Maybe he didn't have a

choice. Shoot him! Just shoot him! Put the gun down and walk away!
