Sniff around, find people, cop or crim,

that we can put between a rock and a hard place

and get them to point our bells and whistles

at the corrupt officers.

This kind of surveillance work can be dangerous.

I'll do it.

So where are all the cameras, exactly?

All around, it's probably best

you don't know exactly where they are.

I run an op shop.

I want my merchandise to be top quality like her.

You kick into this project, sky's the bloody limit.

What's he gonna do if I don't deliver?

It hurts my rep, mate.

Any rep you got is hanging behind me.

This doesn't have to be ugly.

Ah you walk out on me, you don't come back, Wendy.

We know it was Russell Townsend

who hit Talal Assad, but if we can't find him John,

then you're it. - We don't go.

What, even if it means jail time?

Why a little boy like you want a gun?

Tough guy pushed me around, I'm gonna shoot him.

Danny Karam, I am arresting you for assault.

I understand you used to work as a prostitute,

yet in your police application,

you've made no mention of prostitution.

That's a sacking offense.

Chief Superintendent Kelly, Commissioner resigned.

He's packing his golf trophies as we speak.

After five years at the top job,

the police commissioner had had enough.

The Royal Commission was just the icing on the cake.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Louis Bayeh had decided

to cooperate with the authorities,

and no one cooperated quite like Louis.

You were paying members of the consorting squad, correct?

- Correct. - The Armed Holdup Squad.

- Correct. - The Vice Squad.

- Correct. - And some people

from Darlinghurst and Kings Cross police stations.

- Correct, correct. - All of them?

I-is that true?

Every time I come here, tell the truth.

Okay, let's be specific.

From the consorting squad, Ted McNulty.

- 100% correct. - Herman Otto.

- Yes, that's correct too. - Nicholas Aiken.

- Plenty money, that one. - Ralph Lilly.

- Check. - Bobby Romeo.

Mm, very bad man, shocking. Greedy.

- Ah, Daniel Lee. - Yes.

- Patrick Reven. - So your boss has jumped, eh?

What does this mean for Dennis Kelly, early retirement too?

- That's what I said. - I'm happy right where I am.

- You want his office? - You also paid Bob Glendall-

You have any plans for lunch?

- Piss off- - And his brother.

- Hairy legs. - Correct.

Mr. Bayeh, these are people

you've actually handed money to yourself?

- Yes. - All of them?

100%, every time I come here, I tell the truth.

Moving on, Benito Mussolini.

I buy his wife non-stick cookware, $300.

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

These bastards' words, they don't bother me.

For me it's business as per usual.

Yes but Billy, they have their eye on you.

They're watching you, every step you take.

That's why I talk to you.

You wanna come do some work for me, boy?

What, smack or coke?

Coke, no more future in smack.

Yeah, make profit for me.

You think about it, I'll do you a good deed.

He likes it, it appeals to him.

It's like a military mission.

What's to stop him feeding you garbage,

like a double agent?

His ego, he wants to impress his new girlfriend.

We have both carrot and stick.

He's facing deportation as an undesirable immigrant.

Now if we're gonna do this properly,

you need to wear a listening device, which is dangerous,

especially if you're caught.

Danger is for the other guy.

He catch the tiger by the tail, hmm?

I'm not giving you a license to kill, mate.

You're not James Bond. Thank yo for helping me.

I help you, I help myself.

Maybe you put Bill Bayeh in jail.

Oh, and knock out your competition.

For a second there, I thought you were

just being a good citizen.

So what do I get for helping you?

My gratitude and my trust.

How long have you had the tunnel?

Close to six years now.

And do you deal drugs out of there?

I don't deal drugs, full stop.

I'd like to play you an audio clip.

The voices are those of Bill Bayeh

and Detective Sergeant Haken.

I want you to get Johnny Ibrahim off the street.

It's gonna cost you, Billy. How much we talking?

- $20,000? - Big piggies.

What's his problem?

He wants to own everything, be the big man.

I show him he's a little shit. Only big thing, his ego.

Bill Bayeh seems to think you're a threat to him, why?

I don't know what Billy Bayeh thinks,

and I only say, I don't deal drugs.

Do you know a police officer called Wendy Jones?

She was briefly stationed at Kings Cross in 1994.

Yes, I know her.

Would you describe your relationship as intimate?

We had a friendship for approximately two months.

Were you physically intimate?

I'll put it to you again, did you have

a sexual relationship with Constable Jones?

Sir, with all due respect, I can't betray a friendship.

Well you must answer, otherwise I'll deal with you

for contempt of court.

Sorry, I refuse to answer.

Belt and tie.

What, you think I'll nick myself?

You can get 18 months for contempt.

How'd you like to spend Christmas here?

Hey, I don't celebrate Christmas, I'm Muslim.

John Ibrahim was getting

used to the idea of prison.

He was already staring at 15 years for accessory

to the murder of drug dealer Talal Assad.

But in the four hours Justice Wood gave him

to cool his heels, all he could thing about

was Wendy Jones, the girl who dumped him.

Mate, it doesn't work like that.

You can pull out of the scheme if you want,

but your money's already invested.

Look Parrot, I need my money, okay?

It's my retirement. - I know, I know.

- You know. - But like I promised you,

if you hang in there, in a month you'll double it,

maybe even triple it.

What we need to do now is bring in some more investors.

Chief Inspector, maybe even bigger, give us some clout.

This is the rooster I'd like to pluck.

Was that pluck, ma'am?

Bruce, ambitious as hell, bent as a dog's hind leg,

and he's a first class networker.

Sooner or later, all roads lead to Dennis Kelly.

- Put surveillance on him? - No, he's too smart.

Put surveillance on Egan, and let him lead us to Kelly?

Let's call in the artillery.

You've got 24 hours to rip that surveillance crap

outta my apartment, or I'm going to the media.

Now what the New South Wales police

did to you stinks yes, but, but that's not us.

We're a separate organization.

Don't give me that shit, Ralph.

You all smell the same to me.

Well, what if we could get you reinstated,

back into the New South Wales coppers?

- You can do that? - We can try.

Look, just talk to Gerry, listen to what she has to say.

- Dennis Kelly. - Chief Superintendent.

So you want me to so a Mata Hari,

find out his darkest secrets?

Anything you can find out will help.

Up to and including what, fucking him?

You have no idea, do you, the power you have over men?

How could he resist?

First it was dangerous, now you're just pimping me.

- Terry Lamb's in no danger. - And you're no

Cliffy Lyons, pal.

Gentlemen, I bring tributes.

- Aye, how are you? - Good, mate.

- Good to see you. - Denny.

So, thought this was a party.

- Yeah, small party. - Intimate party, Denny.

Have you met my good friend, Kimmy?

- Hi. - And when we say friend,

we mean real friendly.

Where's Mrs. Egan, James?

Ah well, Frances is having a natural childbirth,

so it's all hands on the pumps.

Man, what's going on, eh? What's all this in aid of?

Oh, have a steak, pull up a chair.

We got a proposition for you.

Dennis, how would you like to buy into a guaranteed,

blue chip, money-making opportunity of a lifetime?

Kimmy (snapping), give the man a demo.

So what will it be sugar, hmm?

Hand relief, full French, bit of S&M.

Bet you'd like to see me in my school uniform, hmm?

- Bloody morons. - Hey Den, Den.

You turn gay, Den? - Hold your horses, hey.

- Waste of a good beer. - Fuck, hold your horses mate.

What are you mate, an ostrich?

You got your head in the sand?

Don't you know- - Just, look I just-

There's a Spanish Inquisition going on?

Just simmer down.

Does that name Chuck Fowler mean anything to you?

- This is big. - They are looking at us,

all of us, and even if they're not,

you've gotta assume they are.

So what are you and your dickwit mate doing?

You're setting up a brothel.

No, no, a chain, a chain of parlors.

Didn't you just hear what I just said, mate?

Yeah I did, look, the massage industry

at the moment is a flat as a tack, all right?

This time next year, Justice Wood will be history,

and you and me will be in a position

better than anybody else.

You and me mate, we're fucking history.

Hey Den, don't you wipe me, mate.

I know you, I know your form.

Fuck.

It's just a matter of time

before they're both summonsed now.

Eddie and Jim, they got much to worry about, Grunter?

Mate, they're shitting bricks.

I worked with them for years, you know that.

Most of the time, they're good coppers.

And the other times?

Look, I look the other way at times

and put my hand out.

Fuck, I was one of Chook's boys, yeah.

Well the point is, are you still one of them?

Mate, that's in the past.

I just want a chance to be a good, decent copper.

- Shit, Scully. - Woo-hoo.

Gentlemen, Mr. Grunter, Dools.

- Hey. - Detective Andrew.

Hey congratulations, you deserve it.

You'll be a good detective.

- Nice tie. - Hey, I needed

to get myself an honest job.

Hey listen, I'm glad I ran into you fellas.

That suicide down on Williams Street,

his sister, she works here.

She swears that was an OD.

How many is that?

On my count, that's 10 in the last month.

The gear on the street must be strong.

Well, have you taken legal advice?

Sir, I mean no disrespect to you,

but I will not be answering any further questions

regarding Constable Jones.

Well, are you prepared to go to jail?

Yes I am.

Well, you may step down.

We don't wish to keep you from your business.

Charlie man, Charlie get up.

Come on, get up. Do something, fuck ya.

Wake up, wake the fuck up.

Unusually pure heroin,

Are they right, is this us?

We don't deal drugs, John.

Semantics, are we responsible?

We do not deal heroin, but yes we have a relationship

with a drug dealer, who operates in-

- Shaka? - He's my informant.

He's wearing a wire. - An intimate relationship?

We did not place him there, we did not pressure him to-

That's where the ambos say it's coming from.

No more.

Yeah, okay.

Chief Inspector Gerry Lloyd.

I believe Detective Sergeant Jim Egan

of the Kings Cross detectives to be a corrupt officer.

You have evidence?

I'm willing to appear

before the Royal Commission, testify.

And what if he makes counter claims, against you?

He can prove nothing against me.

Good day, matey.

Give us one bacon sanger, thanks, and a pot of tea.

Hey see, if I was still with the consorting squad,

you two would be in a lotta strife.

How you doing, Bill?

You shouldn't be here.

Justice Wood, he got eyes on his head.

Yeah, Billy I could walk into any cafe

that I choose to wall into, all right?

- Detective Sergeant Jim Egan? - Yeah.

You've been served.

You've reached the office of Dennis Kelly.

Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you.

Den, it's Jim.

Mate, sorry I gave it the spray the other day it's,

it's just that something's come up.

Let's just say I got a little present that,

that I didn't want, if you catch my drift.

Mate ah, can you give me a call please?

You've reached the office of Dennis Kelly.

Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you.

Hi Dennis,

it's Kim Hollingsworth here, remember me?

I hope you don't mind me calling, it's just that ah,

I wanted to get some advice off you.

I just got a speeding fine.

Um, so if you could call me back on um, 743-6280,

that would be great, thanks, bye.

Why is he going to wanna help out some hooker

he doesn't even know? - Mm, just wait and see.

The first step to recruiting a guy is to ask for his help.

It doesn't matter if it's trivial.

The important thing is to make him feel generous,

appreciated. - Okay.

Cooee, where are you, Mrs. Egan?

- I'm in the kitchen. - Okay.

Here you are, darling. - What are you doing

home so early? - Oh, a surprise.

This tape, it shows where Bill kept his coke.

Now the investigators had the address

of the Woolloomooloo apartment that was the nerve center

of Bill Bayeh's cocaine operation.

The moment she got back to the office,

Gerry made arrangements

for Shaka's immediate deportation to Lebanon.

I don't know nothing about no cocaine.

I resent this amputation, boy.

Do you know a man who goes by the name Butris?

I don't know that fella.

Sometime before the night of the 20th of June,

the Royal Commission installed listening devices

and cameras and Butris' flat, this was recorded on the 20th.

That is you Mr. Bayeh, is it not?

Remember you're under oath.

Could be any fella. It could be you.

Hello.

We executed a search warrant

on the flat shortly after you left,

and seized all the paraphernalia you've just seen.

The coffee grinder still contained cocaine residue.

And that was how they finally got Billy Bayeh,

the Cross' biggest drug dealer.

He got 15 years' jail for trafficking,

and the takings of the Kings Cross TIB

fell by around 10 grand a day.

- The end of an era. - Cheers.

Detective Sergeant Eddie Gould.

Haven't seen him.

Don't try to cover his tracks, for Christ's sake.

I've got a warrant for his arrest.

- We have not seen him. - Which is his desk?

He knew you were coming for him.

They never did catch up with Eddie Gould.

The man they called Parrot vanished into thin air.

I don't know anyone in Adelaide.

Why do I have to bloody go anywhere?

Well, what if Eddie Gould comes after you?

You're in danger.

Can I at least speak to Gerry first?

No come on, plane's waiting. Let's go, come on.

She runs a parlor.

You're sending me to Adelaide

to work in a fucking brothel?

It's your only qualification.

Yeah, John.

John Ibrahim? Joe Dooley.

You arrested the guy that shot Buddy yet?

No, sorry. No one's talking.

Listen, that accessory to murder charge against you,

Talal Assad, that's been dropped, you've been no billed.

Yeah, because I'm an innocent man, that's why.
