Original subtitles

This lady, I think she gave birth to me here.

It looks like your mother died from complications

during childbirth.

And what's Swayze done to himself this time, eh?

He's coming for me, I told you.

This is my friend Scarlett. She's seven too.

Around here, you need to keep your eye on them kids.

So she's been missing since last night?

Joey might know where she is.

Why would Joey know?

Don't leave.

Everyone always leaves.

Anya, no one's leaving.

I'll see you at home after.

Phillip Lloyd is my father.

I found Mom's birth records at the hospital.

You didn't think I had a right to know before I

moved into your house?

- I was trying to help. - Yeah.

There's a handful of people who've

got this town in a chokehold, so if you

want to be the big hero, I suggest you start there.

I don't need my little brother.

I'll fucking kill you myself.

Walk away.

Bloody shame.

Cowboy was a good bloke.

Bet he got that shiner at the pub last night.

Who gave it to him?

You're not gonna like this, Jay.

Come on.

Yeah.

Now, you're fucked.

All of you are fucked.

Yeah.

My baby brother's on the case.

What the hell is this?

It's a citizen's arrest.

They used whatever was handy to hold him.

Jesus, Bony, the whole pub witnessed

your brother knocking Cowboy out

and threatening to kill him.

Call me that again.

One more time.

He was the only one leaving the scene

of the crime in a hurry.

This lot found him. They called me.

He says he was there 'cause he was sleeping in his car,

but he can't confirm that.

He's got no alibi.

Yeah, well, from what I've heard,

he wouldn't be the only one pissed off

with your good mate Cowboy.

He's got no weapon on him.

There's no evidence he had anything to do with it.

Jay, we've got no choice.

We've got to bring him in.

No, no, no.

Family.

Conflict of interest. - Conflict of interest?

You give it to him, little brother. Give it to him.

You're drinking buddies with the murder victim.

What do you call that?

Right about now, I call that history.

Who's got the keys?

This is bullshit to me.

He killed him. - Calm down, you lot.

This is how it's got to be.

Keep that dog on a tight leash, fellas.

There you go.

You be careful now.

You mistreat a dog, and he might bite.

Come on, calm down.

Calm down.

This would go a lot faster if you used both hands.

Hey, hey, a prisoner entitled to one of those?

You kow how I like it.

Make it properly this time.

So when you--

when you left the pub, you went straight to your car

and fell asleep.

You didn't wake up again until you heard

the guns going off, yeah?

Yeah, what the hell was that?

The Loch Iris salute.

Show some respect, buddy.

I punched that dog cowboy in the face, got kicked out,

went to my car and passed out.

So no witnesses?

There was this lovely little blonde thing

running the trivia.

She saw me.

Bid me farewell on the way out.

Yeah, that's Alice.

I rang her this morning to get a--

get a statement on the fight.

She said she didn't see you after you left the pub,

but that you're a real nuisance.

During the quiz, you kept yelling out all the answers.

Who's Alice?

Just give me that bloody legal aid.

Yeah, well, I can ring Banks here and ask them to fast-track

you, but they won't, 'cause it's me

and 'cause of who you are.

Yeah.

If I wanted to kill Cowboy, I wouldn't need a bloody gun.

That's not helping.

Who the fuck is Alice?

Alice is Ms. Loch Iris 1981, a princess

of Thursday night trivia.

She works at the hospital with Sister Gail Mary.

What, that Alice?

How close was when she said farewell?

Close.

All right, Watkins, bed 5, two times, 250

milligrams Amoxicillin.

A big night, eh?

I hope it was worth it.

That Swayze again?

Nah, he can't wait until I take his medication.

What's he on?

Antipsychotics.

Miller, bed 2, two times quetiapine and 5 milligrams

of risperidone.

Surely, you mean 0.5.

Nope, 5 milligrams.

Seems like a lot.

I'll let the doctor know you disagree

with his qualified opinion.

One step forward, two steps back.

What do you mean?

We get him well, on an even keel,

and then he's back, worse than ever.

- His poor family. - No family.

Stays with Sam up at New Produce farm.

What are you doing, Swayze?

I need to make a phone call.

You know the hospital rules. I can't let you do that.

He shouldn't be out of bed on his medication.

You all right?

No.

Hospital rules, patients can't

use the nurses station phone.

I got this.

Try again.

Why don't you have a little rest first, eh?

We can try again a little bit later.

I don't need to rest.

You don't understand.

What's all this about, Swayze?

You're still not back in bed.

I told you, he can be a handful.

Swayze can be a bit of a challenge at times.

Alice knows how to handle him.

Come on.

Are you okay after yesterday?

Oh, you know.

One big happy family.

Yeah, Gary and I heard Phillip

got a girl into trouble years ago,

but we had no idea what happened.

I didn't come here to find my long-lost father.

I came here because it's the only place that

meant something to my mom.

If you ever need anything, my door's always open.

Actually, can I ask you something?

Alice said Swayze doesn't have any family,

but he seems to think he does.

He asked me to call them just now.

Sadly, it's wishful thinking.

It's best he doesn't ever use the phone.

It'll upset him even more.

Needed a bit help from Jimmy, did you, Sputty?

♪ Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone ♪

♪ Let's pretend that we're together all alone ♪

♪ I'll tell the man to turn-- ♪

What?

You can't get enough of me?

I'm guilty as charged.

I love giving you my undivided attention,

but I'm actually kind of busy, so--

I can wait.

What are you here for?

Confidential.

But it might have something to do with

Sputty being arrested for murdering the local route rat.

Bullshit.

He needs an alibi.

Well, Alice.

How did you work that out?

Scrawny, passive aggressive white chick tempting

the bad Black man--

and a dash of female intuition.

We'll see you after work.

Alice, can I have a word with you?

It's a police matter.

Me?

Preferably somewhere private.

You police people need to communicate with each other.

Simmo rang earlier this morning.

She got all the details she needed.

She was satisfied.

How was your night last night?

Yeah, it was very successful, thank you.

I mean, the town came out in droves

to honor Sister Kerry at the Stag and Boar.

The Easter trivia fundraiser did better than it ever has.

So, yeah, if raising thousands of dollars for charity

is a good thing, it was a pretty good night.

After trivia, did you go straight home?

Yes.

Wow, bloody trust-- bloody, I trusted him.

He was a perfect gentleman.

He doesn't even know I'm here.

And this is a murder investigation.

Yeah.

I did--

I did go say good night to Sputty, um, to thank him.

He stood up for me when, um, Cowboy

was running his filthy mouth.

He was nice.

Sputty's smart. He's really smart.

He's got a great taste in music, great smile.

Yeah, all right.

How long were youse together for?

Did you hear the gunshots?

The Loch Iris salute.

Yes, it woke us up.

Sergeant, Alice here would like to amend her statement.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Well, the long weekend is fast running away from us.

So, Alice, why don't you just take a seat there,

and we'll get this done?

Someone's in there.

I've seen him.

I don't see anything.

You see?

Nothing there.

How are you feeling?

You don't look too good.

Check the cupboard.

I reckon it's too skinny for anyone to fit in there.

Besides, you're getting discharged today,

so whoever's chasing you won't find you here.

There, see?

Nothing.

I need to get out of here.

Okay.

Let me use the phone.

I'll find out when you're discharged,

and I'll come right back. All right?

You don't understand.

This place is dangerous.

Okay.

Don't leave me.

I'll come back as soon as I can.

I promise.

Oh, fuck!

Joey, what are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

Sorry.

How can I help?

See?

29th of August, 1947, that was me.

I was a baby.

I need to find my mom's grave.

It's not in a cemetery.

I need to know where she is.

Joey, we're shortstaffed.

I was the last person she saw when she died.

She loved me.

I have to tell her I love her too before it's too late.

Too late for what?

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Let's do it quickly.

Wait here, okay?

This is where they keep the admission records.

I must have slept in one of those.

Come here.

And these are the admissions from 1930s

to 1975 for white fellows.

And this is us.

Blacks in the back, eh, Joey?

This must have been where Alice found your info.

It's got to be here somewhere.

Iris McGuinness.

Date of birth, unknown.

Place of birth, unknown.

Maternity admission, native ward.

Male infant delivered 10:50 PM.

Half-caste, white,

8 pounds, 11 ounces,

length 21 inches.

That's me.

Postpartum hemorrhage.

Transfer request to main maternity unit--

denied.

Maternal death, 11:25 PM,

29th of August, 1947.

There's not much more here except for a number.

U137.

Maybe it might pay to, you know,

go visit the cemetery one more time.

She's not there.

She's with the other ones.

What others?

The forgotten ones in the lost garden.

I'm so sorry.

I can't be more help, brother.

I'm so sorry.

This is my punishment.

For what?

For the things I've done.

He said to us, come, take our hand.

He sent us off to mission land.

And I promise you, I will find you.

You won't be forgotten.

Never, never.

Joey?

There you go.

Cowboy's forensics.

Stay out of trouble.

His fingerprints weren't on the gun.

He's got nothing to do with it.

Thank you, my little brother.

I want you out of this town.

That hurt.

Can I get a feed first?

I got to make a phone call. Wait for me in the car.

Yeah.

Cowboy's gun wasn't the one that killed him.

Which means there's still a murder weapon out there.

But we won't find it sitting on our asses.

St. Joseph Hospital, Alice speaking.

Alice, this is Detective Swan.

What do you want now?

I already told you everything.

Alice, I'm after Mary.

Is she there?

She should be around.

Well, might you try again in 10 minutes.

That's not going to work.

Can I leave a message?

Yeah.

I need Mary to pick Anya up from school this afternoon.

Can you get that to her? - Yep.

Okay, done. - Make sure she gets it.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks.

Mary, could you prep Swayze for Gary

to do his final examination on discharge?

Sam's on his way to pick him up.

Suppose he wasn't looking too good last time I seen him?

I'm sure he'll be happier back in his routine.

Hey, Swayze!

Guess who's going home today once the doctor gives the okay?

Swayze?

Fuck.

Swayze!

Have you seen Swayze?

Uh-uh.

Swayze?

Hey, have you seen Swayze? He's not in his room.

Did you check his bathroom?

Yeah, and the foyer and the male toilets.

There's nothing. - No.

Little shit.

All right, you go check the patient TV

room and our staff room.

And I'll go check the pay phone down the road.

He could be anywhere.

Can't help but think the worst, can you?

Ah, no.

I have faith in the boys in blue.

Well, some of them anyways.

You see that prick out there?

That's the one who told me in saying I threatened Cowboy.

Who said it?

I said.

What are you going to get for it?

I don't know.

I'm going to have a little chat.

Don't be stupid.

I only just got you out of the shit.

Hey, you kids get some dim sims.

Uncle Jay's here.

Good man, good man.

All right.

Shush your mouth.

Doug, come here.

Hey!

You say my name, and you screwed me up.

Get yourself whatever youse want.

That, miss.

You want to pull up?

I just lost a good mate.

Why would you do it for him?

I didn't accuse you of murder.

I did nothing. Now back off.

What do you want, Sputty?

Not around kids.

All right.

Yeah.

All I told Simmo was what I heard.

I'll kill you myself.

That's what you said to Cowboy.

You're lucky your kids are here.

Yeah? Next time I see you, Doug--

- Get in the car. - see what happens.

Let's go.

Come on.

Joey.

My name is Joey, not Joseph.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm Joey.

Who are you?

I can pretend you're a snake.

Please don't tell anyone I'm here.

I just need a lift.

Swayze?

I'll be waving at him.

Stay in the car.

Okay, snake boy, you're safe with me.

No, I can't find him.

He's real paranoid someone's after him.

I think he's been spitting out his meds too.

I found today's is under his pillow.

Why didn't you report it?

Well, I only just found out.

You said earlier he wanted to make a call.

He didn't ring anybody, did he?

No.

I tried to call someone for him, but--

- Who was it? - I don't know.

I tried, but I couldn't get through.

Oh, great. Here's Sam.

You two keep looking.

I'll look after him.

You should go get Anya.

I'll deal with this. - What?

Jay rang earlier, said he's tied up with work,

needed you to pick up Anya from school.

I wrote it down.

What?

Okay, I swear I left it right here.

Oh, shit.

I'll be as quick as I can.

Oh, shoot.

Anya!

Mommy's here, baby!

You don't have to be scared.

Anya!

Anya!

Loch Iris salute for the Easter hunt--

which way you aim?

East.

Sunrise.

Dawn and dusk, best times of day to bag a boar.

Were you all together?

It's the same thing every year.

Simmo knows everything.

The questions of Indigenous Peoples' status

in this country, it would highlight

the need to recognize our right to be Indigenous people.

There you go, Uncle Pat.

It would put on the table, I suppose--

He changed the world while I do my washing.

That continued to lead to discord

and division between Indigenous people and governments--

Still a rag.

and in some sections of the wider Australian community.

Anya!

I hope we find a way to resolve those.

Please tell me you've seen Anya.

I have nothing.

I was late picking her up from school.

She wasn't there.

She hasn't been home.

I've checked everywhere-- streets, parks.

I'll look at the back.

Cowboy was shot from somewhere around the field

near the car park.

He was on his veranda having a coffee and smoking a joint.

I reckon he'd only just lit up when he was hit.

That's barely finished, and the coffee

was spilt on the veranda.

Oi!

Hey, that's my stuff.

Cowboy was murdered.

Does that not bother you?

You're going to go easy there, bunny.

Cowboy was a good mate.

Look, Cowboy's room is here.

There's no way he was shot from here or from here.

The only line of sight was across to the car park.

He wasn't shot on the veranda.

His injuries would have been much worse.

He was shot from a distance.

Okay, so who shot Cowboy's gun?

- Well, maybe he did. - What?

During the Loch Iris salute from the veranda?

See what happens when you try?

He was shot with a high-powered rifle,

slung him back into the room.

My guess is a .308.

That's the gun we're looking for.

No, mate.

Everyone in this town owns a .308

including some of the ladies.

Where's the statements from the hunters?

They're all in process over there.

Look, the long and the short of it is,

is that they were all together.

They're each other's alibis.

They all fired their guns at the same time.

No one heard any other shots until Mick found Cowboy dead.

Right.

You got a hunch on anyone? - No.

No one was missing.

Your lead on Sister Kerry, what about the--

what about the blood I found on Joey's shirt?

Well, the results came back.

It's animal blood.

Joey's not your bloke.

I told you that.

Anya!

Jay!

Is Anya here?

No.

She wasn't at school. I was late.

I left a message earlier at the hospital.

What kind of dopey bloke leaves a message about picking

up a fucking seven-year-old?

Why didn't you make sure I got it?

We'll go inside.

We'll make some phone calls, all right?

Come on.

I'll keep looking for her.

All right.

No.

No, she's not answering.

It's Easter, you know?

I mean, every dickhead and their dog's gone camping.

Okay, I'll try--

I'll try Ralph.

He's the school groundsman.

Philip, it's-- it's Jay. Is Anya with you?

We were late picking her up from school today.

Mm-hmm.

No, it's fine.

We'll find her.

Thanks.

Was-- was she friends with that-- that other little girl

that went missing, Scarlett?

Yeah, but--

you don't think Scarlett and Anya going

missing is connected, do you?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's too early to make those connections.

We'll just stick to the facts, all right?

Jay?

Anya's probably gone looking for Scarlett.

Let's go to the caravan park.

We'll have a look for her there, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Breakfast time.

Oh, bubba.

Yeah, baby.

Shush.

Yeah, bubba.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, what? What do you want?

Have you seen Anya anywhere this afternoon?

Did she come here?

Oh, really? Lost kid, huh?

It happens to the best of us. Sorry, Mary.

No, I don't have her here. I've had my hands full.

I haven't even left the van.

But I'll keep an eye out.

I'll let you know if I see anything, okay?

- Follow me. - Thank you.

Okay, bye.

Oh, no, baby.

You still think he's innocent?

Don't start.

He's just a broken man, Jay.

He's had a lot of shit happen to him.

Whatever is in your head, I don't

want to think those things.

Look, let's just get you home.

As if I'm going to stay at home and wait.

What happens if Anya goes home and neither of us

are there?

Where is she?

Fuck!

Fuck!

All right, Mary, is there anything I can do to help?

No.

But have you tried the truck stop?

It's a long shot, but lots of trucks and tourists

go through there.

She might have been picked up.

Stay here in case Anya comes back.

Let's go.

We'll call every 30 minutes to check in.

Yeah, righto.

What have you done?

Tell me!

I'm sorry.

Where are they?

Where are the girls, Joey?

Joey!

I'm sorry!

Oh, mate.

Hold on.

I'll just get my key.

Sorry, mate.

Sorry, mate.

Are you all right?

It's okay.

Don't worry.

I'll deal with it.

Deal with what?

You.

Don't be so stupid as to go messing with the rules, Jay.

Says a woman who spends every shift at the pub.

Yeah.

I'm not like you.

You're a proper cop.

Real hero for the people, ain't you?

Oh, fuck off.

I'm trying to find two missing girls.

Yeah, exactly.

And for that, you need a warrant.

For a warrant, you need evidence.

And for that, you need to be friends with Joey.

Come on, mate.

I'll get you inside, all right, warm you up.

And then we can have a chat about what

you know about maybe Scarlett and Anya going missing.

All right? There you go.

It's all right.

If I had a missing kid, I'd be doing

exactly what you're doing.

But you're making bad choices.

Get out of here.

Go.

Handshakes all around earlier today

when the jury found Jardine Police Officer Peter Lovric not

guilty of being an accessory to the murder of Aboriginal man

Jack Swan in 1999.

Senior Sergeant Peter Lovric spoke to us earlier today.

What's next for you now that the trial has concluded?

Just looking forward to putting this behind me

and getting back to work.

Mr. Lovric, can you now--

What do you want?

I'm looking for my seven-year-old niece.

You and your trucking mate seen her?

Fuck off.

Never mind.

Excuse me.

What's going on?

I'm looking for my seven-year-old niece.

She's got a school uniform on. Have you seen her?

Are you saying that one of us has her in a truck?

She's a little girl, an Indigenous girl, okay?

She's missing.

And what?

That's not our fault.

I haven't seen or heard anything, mate.

But we'll put the word out.

If we get something, we'll let the local cop shop know.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Joey.

I need you to--

I need you to start talking.

Anything?

No, nothing.

Three pissed off truckies.

All right, well, all I got is a call from a bloke, Xavier,

at some corrections facility.

He wasn't happy.

Yeah, that's Mary's brother, Anya's dad.

He wants Mary to ring him back urgently.

Mary, Xavy wants you to call him.

I'm not calling him till we get Anya back.

Mary calls Xavier back later.

Anya?

Anya!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Come on.

You're not gonna see her.

Come on.

It's all right.

Breathe.

Breathe, sister, breathe.

It's okay.

We're going to find her.

We're going to find Anya.

Relax.

All you have to do is tell me where they are.

When I was inside my mother,

her heartbeat kept me whole.

Where are Scarlett and Anya?

Her heartbeat kept me whole.

Joey.

Shut up.

Jay, there's been an emergency.

Mary's at the hospital.

It's something to do with the baby.

You don't even fucking know him.

I know a killer when I see one.

I've got a few questions.

I got nothing to hide.

I never said you did.

Can you think about our kid?

Anya is our kid too.

I know.

Then, why are you still here?

The last time I saw Scarlett, she was in a red car.

Whose car was it?

Tell me!

Your useless fucking brother--

him and his drinking have got to go.

Just take it easy.

I will take it easy when I get Anya back!

I can help you, but you got to tell

me what's got you so scared.

What are you running away from?
