(WOMAN SCREAMS)

WOMAN 2: Why is someone screaming?

Have you seen my baby? Have you seen my baby?

My baby! My baby!

(SIREN WAILS)

-Josh, where are you guys? -Six or seven minutes off.

Right. Come in the northern entrance.

-We're on the other side. -Copy that.

Alright, Leon, we're here.

Start accessing all the security cameras around here, will you?

-Hi, mate. -Just round the left.

-WOMAN: That was quick. -You made the triple-0 call?

-Yes. -Just go over the events.

She had her pram parked there and she was just looking at shoes

and she ran up here and started screaming that her baby's gone.

-OK, did you see the baby? -Yes.

You actually saw the baby in the pram?

-Well, no, I just presumed. -OK. OK, thank you.

OK, get the guard to take you up to Security - look at the CCTV footage.

Shan, call the Uniforms down here.

We need to take statements from all these people, OK?

Hi, I'm Lawson Blake, Tactical Response.

(CRIES) He's gone.

He's gone. I only turned my back for a second.

Is there anything you can tell me? Did you see anyone hanging around?

My father's coming.

Was there anyone following you today?

I phoned him. He's coming.

I just need to know if you saw anything before...

Piss off!

(SIREN WAILS)

(WHISTLES)

OK.

I want you to liaise with Security - lock the place down.

It's probably too late. Let's do a search anyway.

We're looking for a 6-month-old boy,

uh, blue jumpsuit, blue blanket and a beanie, OK?

-Is that the mother? -Yeah. Why?

Holy shit! Do you know who that is?

No, haven't had a chance to I.D. her yet.

That's Nadia Bucek. Guess who her dad his?

Anton Bucek.

I'd hate to be the person that grabbed the baby.

Hey, Leon, just checking that you got all that.

LEON: Still downloading the footage.

I could have something here. Just a tick. Here it is.

Right. Excellent. Early model Commodore.

I've got him going through the boom gate at a million miles an hour.

Hang on.

Yep. Got a rego.

OK, put a KALOF out on that.

-And keep going through the cameras. -LEON: Done.

Our detective will come around, take a more detailed statement.

Will you be at this address?

(SPEAKS SLAVIC LANGUAGE)

-Grab the pram, will you? -Forensics will be needing that.

Excuse me. Are you...?

Not now. I need to get her out of here.

LEON: Hey, guys, that car through the boom gate -

registered to one Shay Leanne Cameron of Broadmeadows.

Reported stolen at 11:00 this morning.

Yeah, that figures. Thanks, Leon.

-Should I go check that out? -Yeah, not yet.

OK, well, I've got a KALOF out on it, alright?

-Wait here a tick. -Yep.

Mr Bucek?

Go to the car. I'll catch up.

Now, I know this must be distressing for you and your daughter,

but you know how it works -

it's an abduction and, therefore, a police matter.

So you leave it to my guys and the detectives from Major Crime.

-I don't want you doing anything. -Are you finished?

This is my grandson. This is a family matter.

-I don't need your help. -No, it's a police matter.

No, no, no. I tell you something - he doesn't do this to my family.

Get me my phone, will you?

VINCENT: Well, they must have targeted that kid for a reason.

It could be a coincidence. Maybe they don't know who they've got.

Either way, it's a nightmare.

I'm gonna go and talk to Major Crime.

There's no way it's a coincidence.

Bucek's got a war brewing and I'd say this kid's the first victim.

Yeah, I thought as much.

Mongrels. How low can they bloody go?

If this kid ends up dead, which he probably will,

I've got a major war on my hands.

Who's taking him on this time?

-Oh! Rueben Petric and his lot. -Petric!

Jeez. I would have thought he'd have more brains.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll send a couple of our guys down there to have another chat with him.

We've gotta stay at arm's length, so...

..whatever you could do, fast, would be great.

You owe me one.

SHANNON: What have we gotta do - arrest him?

LAWSON: No, just put the fear of God in him.

Into Rueben Petric? Fat chance.

Did you hear what he did to Anthony Chang?

What?

Chang was cutting in on Petric's turf,

He cut his hand off with a chainsaw and dropped him at the hospital.

So Chang walks into Emergency

with his right hand and one of his testicles in a plastic bag.

-No. -Yeah.

Two months later, little Anthony Chang checks out of hospital

and hops on the first flight to Hong Kong.

Problem solved.

VINCENT: Lawson, where are you?

We're on our way to Reuben Petric's place.

Oh, no, he's not there. I just got some information.

How far are you away from Anchorage Marina?

-We're eight to ten. -Alright, meet me there.

-Stay here. -Reuben Petric?

G'day. I'm Inspector Kerry Vincent.

This is Senior Sergeant Lawson Blake.

What can I do for you?

The kidnapping that happened in the Toorak Shopping Centre this morning.

-You aware of that? -I heard it on the news.

Do you know who that kid is?

-You tell me. -Anton Bucek's grandson.

-What's that got to do with me? -That's what we want to know.

I didn't grab his kid.

I wouldn't piss on Bucek if he was on fire.

I don't do that shit.

OK, do you reckon you can convince him of that?

You know, if we could organise a meeting?

Why not?

I've got a few other things to discuss with him anyway.

OK.

Give us one hour, yeah?

You get a general out on that Commodore.

Yeah.

OK, get onto Leon. Let's get a helicopter onto it as well.

In the meantime, you bring Bucek down here.

I don't know how keen Bucek's gonna be on this meeting, Kerry.

Just tell him Petric wants to talk to him, OK?

What else can we do?

Anton Bucek, Inspector Kerry Vincent.

Hey.

You're the one who knows Mozzy Dalton.

-Oh, yeah, used to. -Yeah, so I heard.

Uh, look, Petric is saying that he knows nothing about this morning,

so he just wanted to tell you personally.

-Tony. -Reuben.

(BOTH SPEAK SLAVIC LANGUAGE)

-Do you mind? -Yes, of course.

Uh...

What do you reckon they're saying?

Who knows? But I wish they'd hurry up.

We gotta find that Commodore. Shit.

Who's Mozzy Dalton?

It's none of your business.

Hey, guys, guess what I got?

-What, Leon? -Stolen car, my bottom.

If it was stolen, he grabbed the keys as well.

I'm not so sure about your underworld war theory, guys.

This guy's a real bogan moron.

Josh, what's your position?

JOSH: Uh, Fairfield, heading north.

Alright, you're the closest.

Get over to that rego address and check it out.

OK, we'll be about eight minutes.

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIGHS) Let's just hope we get to this idiot first

'cause if Bucek does, he's dead.

Lawson, there's no-one home but it is baby heaven in here.

They've either got one or it's for the Bucek kid.

LAWSON: Alright, get the local Uniforms to keep an eye on the place,

let us know if anyone turns up.

Alright. Let's go.

What the hell is he doing here?

-One guess. Turn around. -(SIREN WAILS)

STELLA: Police! Get out of the car!

-JOSH: Get out now! -Out of the car!

Up against the fence.

-Go! -Nice and quick.

Licences.

-What are you doin' here? -Were we speeding?

What were you doing at that house?

What house?

How did Bucek know about this place?

I thought you guys were chasing Reuben Petric.

He changed his mind. I...

Clean.

Alright.

Lawson, two of Bucek's guys just turned up at the house.

LAWSON: How the hell did they get onto the place?

No idea, but they're up with us.

As long as he doesn't get ahead.

DOM: Bucek must have someone tame at the Roads Authority.

More like someone in Major Crime.

Leon, have we got a number of that car owner yet?

Yeah, I'll just send it through.

DOM: Hey, no, Lawson, you'll just be tipping him off.

Well, maybe if he knows who's following him, it'll bring him in.

(PHONE RINGS)

Uh, I can't get it, Jez.

Hello?

Uh, this is Senior Sergeant Lawson Blake of Tactical Response.

-Who am I speaking to? -It's the cops.

Well, switch it off.

There was some woman in the background.

At least we know there's two of them.

Ah! Shh.

(PHONE RINGS)

-Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh! -(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

-(BABY CRIES) -Shh.

Now, you upset her, Jezza.

Well, it's not my bloody fault, is it?

I told you I never should have reported the car stolen.

Maxy did it - it worked for him.

Maxy's a bloody idiot, isn't he?

(BABY CRIES)

-What are you gonna do now, Jezza? -Start by shutting up.

LAWSON: Josh, what's your position?

Still tailing Bucek's boys.

MAN ON RADIO: Tango Two, this is Broadmeadows 204.

Just confirming we're Code 5 at your Broadmeadows house.

JOSH: Copy that, 204. Thanks.

LEON: Guys, triple-0 report of a male person

threatening to jump off the Scrivener Building in Kensington.

This is TR-2. We're about five minutes off. We got that.

-Lawson, you hear that? -LAWSON: Yeah, it's yours.

(SIREN WAILS)

Lawson, we're at that Kensington location.

We'll get back to you as soon as we've sorted this out.

Stay by the elevator - make sure no-one accesses the roof.

Thank you.

Come on. Let's go, go, go.

Just wait down there, out of sight.

Just get back!

Get back or I swear, I will jump!

I'll go primary.

You sure you're up for it?

Yeah, look at him. He doesn't want to talk to tough guys. I'll do it.

Just stay back!

I don't care what you say or do. I don't care.

My name's Stella and I just want to help you.

Can you tell me your name?

Don't come any closer.

LEON: Guys, they could be anywhere by now

but I got a single tower dump on that phone.

I'll get it triangulated but it'll take more time.

Meanwhile, the Broadmeadows tower is the best I've got.

OK. Broadmeadows tower. Got it.

(SIREN WAILS)

I just got home and she was gone.

-STELLA: Who was? -My girlfriend.

How long have you two been together?

Two years.

Two years, this December.

If you step down off the wall, we can talk about it.

They've got her.

They've taken her.

I can see how upset you are right now

and I reckon if I was in your situation,

I'd be really upset too.

If you tell me your girlfriend's name, we can figure this out.

Jasmine.

And what's her surname?

They've been threatening us!

They've been making all sorts of threats.

How old is Jasmine?

27.

Alright, Leon, we're in the Broadmeadows tower area.

How's that triangulation going?

Yeah, I'm onto it.

Settle down, copper.

STELLA: And you two live here together?

Sounds like it was going pretty well.

What unit number is it? Maybe we can help out.

604.

-Michael, the unit number's 604. -Yeah, got that, Josh.

Daniel, I'm really uncomfortable with you standing where you are,

so if you just step down, we can sort this out.

I know your tricks.

I know what you're doing.

(SHOUTS) I am not messing around!

Yeah, guys, definitely signs of a struggle.

It looks like someone's been dragged out of here.

Hey, Leon, I'm in apartment 604. I've got a crime scene.

Can you get the locals up here to secure and notify CI?

LAWSON: Leon, we're just driving around in circles here.

What's going on?

Lawson, I'm serious. This is as fast as it gets.

You're in Australia, remember?

It's an absolute travesty, the state of technology here.

If we were in any other country in the world...

Alright, alright, alright, I get it. OK?

Would it help if I called him at an open line?

No. If their phone's on, that's all we need.

Alright.

Oh, she smiled at me.

She smiled at me, Gerard.

Oh, he's done a big shit. That stinks.

I'm gonna change her nappy afterwards.

Aren't I, little baby. Hey?

Daniel, when you say "They've got her," who?

Who's "they"? Can you tell me who might be involved in this?

I know who it is.

I know.

And they'll kill her.

I know they will.

Daniel, I understand, but being up there isn't helping Jasmine at all.

The sooner you get down and give us the information,

the sooner we can get out there and find her.

Will you arrest them?

I can't say.

But I can say that we will do everything we can

to get Jasmine back.

That's what you want, isn't it?

What if they've killed her?

Please, Daniel...

Step down from the edge

and walk towards me.

That's the way.

That's it, mate.

Good.

Leon, we've got him down.

-Shh, shh, shh, shh. -(SOBS)

(PHONE RINGS)

You reckon that's the cops again?

Jeez, Gerard, I don't know. I told you to turn it off.

Bastards. They're onto us, Shaz.

They know who we are.

Yeah, well, they don't know where we are.

Do they, little baby?

How do you know that? You don't know that.

Shut up, Gerard.

-We've gotta give him back. -I'm not giving her back.

No matter what, I'm keeping her.

It's a bloody boy, Shay.

(BABY CRIES QUIETLY)

Pass me those wipes, please.

Come on.

(SHAY CHUCKLES)

So beautiful.

I love her, Gerard.

I think she loves me too.

Oh, jeez, Shay, cut it out.

What are we gonna do?

We're stuffed.

This beautiful girl.

They'll take care of you till we get back.

Thanks, guys.

JOSH: The guy's pretty sure he knows where she's being held,

so we're on our way.

OK, well, shoot through the address. I'll get some Uniforms for backup.

Yeah, maybe hold off on that for now.

You sure?

Yeah, it's his parents' house.

Ah. Right.

-I'll run a background check. -We'll have a chat with them first.

-OK. Get back to us, yeah? -Alright.

Lawson, the triangulation - I got it.

Just before you last spoke to them,

the car was on the move along Harper Street in Broadmeadows, going north.

LAWSON: OK, thanks, Leon.

Yep. Harper Street. Got it, Shannon?

Next left and then your first left after that.

Come on.

Let's go round him.

Right, so we're travelling in this direction here.

Look who we have here.

(SIREN WAILS)

Alright, get up alongside him. Overtake him on this side. Go.

Go, go, go, go!

(TYRES SCREECH)

LAWSON: Out of the car!

DOM: Get out of the car now! Do it now!

Out of the car! Close the door. Turn around.

Hands on the roof, shoulder-width apart. Do it now!

Hey, we were just driving down a public street.

-Yeah, doing what, exactly? -Like I said...

Are you holding? Carrying? What about you?

What about you? You carrying? Who you talking to?

Is that your boss? Give me that.

Bucek?

-Lawson. -Yes, it is.

You want to tell me what your guys are doing here?

Doing where?

I thought we agreed you'd stay out of this.

Maybe they're just minding their own business. Did you think of that?

-How'd you get this location? -And what location would that be?

Yeah, it's just a coincidence they turn up

in Harper Street same time we do, eh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, just to let you know, these three are under arrest.

If you keep sticking your nose in our business,

we're gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks, alright?

She even looks a bit like me, don't you reckon?

-Oh, I never should have done it. -Why not?

We said, Jez.

Look at her.

I love two people now.

Come here.

-You're my big teddy bear. -No, I'm not.

-Give me a kiss. -No. Cut it out, Shaz.

Come on, give me a kiss. Come on. Give me a kiss.

Give me a big tonguey.

(BABY CRIES)

Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.

Oh, shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh. Shh!

(BABY CRIES)

She's happy now.

She sure smells better, eh?

I'm not gonna let anything get you here, little baby.

I'm gonna look after you forever and ever and ever.

Beautiful.

(BOTH LAUGH)

MAN: Daniel's alright, love. He's OK.

Oh, thank God.

He's accused you of abducting his girlfriend.

There's been a struggle at the apartment, so what's going on?

He said we kidnapped her?

STELLA: He said, "Ask my parents. They'll know what happened."

I told you, Robert.

Jean, he wanted to marry her.

So? It's better than he jumps off some building.

He's not gonna jump off some building.

You don't know that. He's in love with her.

That's what I'm saying. He's in love. He won't jump off a building!

That's enough. Do you know where she is?

This has nothing to do with the police.

We are not criminals.

You've been against her from the start.

You're just prejudiced.

Of course I'm prejudiced. Are you kidding?

It's a matter of trying to understand your own son.

OK, that's enough!

Tell us where she is or I'll take you both in for questioning.

You have to tell them, Robert.

It's a family matter.

And look where it's got us.

OK.

You tell them.

She's in the spare room. I'll show you.

No, wait.

-MICHAEL: Where is it? -Second door on the left.

Josh?

STELLA: Josh, come here!

Jasmine?

Jasmine.

MICHAEL: We should be in Broadmeadows, helping Lawson.

I made the guy a promise, Michael.

-If you located a person. -If I found Jasmine.

Shove her over a bit. No, that way.

-Put a seatbelt on her. -What? What for?

Uh...it's the law.

Michael, think about it.

Seatbelts are for saving lives in an MVA.

Yeah.

Yeah, and if we get hit by a train, she's not gonna die.

Still, I'm the driver and I'm responsible for all the passengers,

so, um...

Thank you.

Is she comfortable?

-OK, you're an idiot. -You are.

-No, you are. -Just drive!

No!

She's mine now. She loves me.

Not as much as I do, but.

Come on, little Shazza.

It was a dumb idea anyway. We'll get our own.

We can't now. You know that.

No, no, no, you do all that special shit with the fertiliser and stuff

and, bang, you get six babies.

I don't want six babies! I want this one.

Come on, Shazza. We gotta go.

Come on, Shaz. Quick as you can.

-Up you get. -I want to go home now.

The cops will be there. I told you, they know who we are.

But we'll need to get another cot, then.

Oh, shut up, Shay. Jesus Christ! You don't get it, do ya?

It's like the worst crime!

You're gonna go to jail too.

They're not taking my baby. No way!

Get in!

(CAR ENGINE FALTERS)

Oh, you bloody...

Aggh! Agggh!

-Piece of shit! Agggh! -(BABY CRIES)

-SHAY: Now look what you've done. -Aaaaaagh!

Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh.

(BABY CONTINUES CRYING)

(CAR ENGINE FALTERS)

STELLA: Are there man dolls?

I mean, do women buy these, but men?

JOSH: Nah.

I've heard they cost, six, eight grand depending on what you want.

-What you want? -Yeah.

They come with all the bits. It's on the Net.

-As in full bits? -Full bits.

-Hang on. -Hey!

I warned you about that, you big lezzo.

-(LAUGHS) -JOSH: What?

Oh!

She's got a landing strip.

(LAUGHS)

(BABY CRIES)

-Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh-shh! -(BABY CONTINUES CRYING)

(CAR ENGINE FALTERS)

What are we gonna do now?

-Gerard? -(CONTINUES CRYING)

-Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh! -Be back in a minute.

-Shh. Hey. Hey. -(CONTINUES CRYING)

Hey, hey.

(PHONE RINGS)

Senior Sergeant Blake?

-Are you the cop who called before? -Yes, I am.

-I've got the baby. -Yes, I'm aware of that.

Now, you need to listen to me very carefully, OK?

That baby belongs to a very dangerous family.

In fact, you couldn't have chosen a worse baby.

Now, right now, there are people out looking for you.

And if they find you, they're gonna kill you.

-Piss off. -I'm absolutely serious.

Now, I'm the only chance that you have.

You need to tell me exactly where...

-Gerard! -(BABY CRIES)

Shh-shh.

LAWSON: Hung up.

-(BABY CRIES) -(DIALS PHONE)

(PHONE RINGS)

Blake.

So, who's this big, dangerous bastard, then?

Anton Bucek.

If you can tell me exactly where you are, I can't guarantee...

Bloody hell.

Leon, that phone's on again. How long this time to triangulate?

Fast. Real fast. I'll get back.

-(PHONE RINGS) -Alright, we're on.

Blake?

Want to tell me where you are?

I'm not telling you yet.

I grabbed him. Just me. It's got nothing to do with me girlfriend.

-Is your girlfriend with you now? -No!

-I've got the kid here by myself. -And how is the baby? Alright?

I want to know she's not gonna get arrested.

I can't give you any assurances. I can tell you I'll do my best for you.

OK? Now, you are doing the right thing.

How's that baby?

Yeah. Remember, she didn't have nothin' to do with it.

Yeah, OK, look, we'll sort that out.

You just need to tell me where you are, OK?

(HELICOPTER WHIRRS OVERHEAD)

Oh, shit.

Leon, have you got 'em?

Yeah, baby. I got him. Broadmeadows Reserve.

South-western corner on Northcorp Boulevarde.

No! Shay!

Shay, get your arse out of the car now!

Oh, Shay!

There's choppers and everything everywhere. Come on, get up!

Come on.

Shaz, they're comin' and they'll get you and I won't never see you again.

But I have to be with you, Jez.

I know. I know.

LAWSON: Dom, get the boot.

-It's clear. -Alright, let's spread out.

Leon, we're at the Broadmeadow Reserve.

There's a chance that the Bucek baby's here.

Get some local Uniforms down here to give us a hand, OK?

Done.

(BABY CRIES)

Hey, little one.

Hello.

Dom, Lawson. I've got him. He's OK.

LAWSON: Copy that, Shannon.

Dom, have a quick look around for the suspects, then head back.

Hello.

Oh, that's it. Come on.

(PHONE RINGS)

Constable Henry.

Have you got him?

Yeah, I've got him.

I can tell he's not crying.

Is he awake?

-He's wide awake. -(BABY GIGGLES)

I fed him and changed him about half an hour ago.

-Did you get all his stuff? -Yep.

I've got all his stuff.

He's real beautiful, isn't he?

He's very beautiful.

-Now, where are you? -Just look after him.

LAWSON: Leon, there was no sightings of the suspects at the reserve.

Can you help us out?

Sorry, mate. The phone's gone dead. No sightings, nothing.

Lawson, can you drop that for the moment?

I want to get that kid back to Bucek, asap.

OK, give him a call. Let him know we're on our way.

-Sure. Oh, Lawson? -Yeah?

Just make it clear that this is the end of it.

-I'm on it, Kerry. -Alright.

I'll get onto Napthorne at Major Crime,

tell him we've got it sorted.

(BABY GIGGLES)

(BABY SQUEALS)

The first one of you who laughs is a dead man.

(KNOCKS AT DOOR)

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

Hi.

Thank you.

Well, usually, we'd take him to Community Services for a check-up

but, under the circumstances,

we brought him right over.

(BABY GRIZZLES)

-Oi. -Can I have a word?

Alright. Do you want to tell me what's up?

What is this? Is this an insult?

No. No insult.

They get him dressed in pink!

Oh. For God's sake.

He's six months old. I don't think he cares what colour he's dressed in.

They take my grandson and they dress him like a girl?

Look, Anton...

..the two that took your grandson, to put it mildly, are not too bright.

OK?

That means it's only a matter of time before we pick them up.

They'll be arrested, they'll be tried and they'll be put in jail.

No, no, no. That's not justice.

Yes, it is. It's justice as far as the law's concerned, alright?

Look at your daughter.

She's happy.

Now, I want an assurance from you that you won't go after these two.

-Yeah, OK. -I want your word.

Yeah, you got my word. Go get 'em.

OK. Thank you.

Shan?

LAWSON: You're kidding, aren't you?

JOSH: No. Never been more serious.

We're hoping for an invite to the wedding.

Is that legal?

Of course it's not legal.

MICHAEL: Yes, it is. You can marry anything.

No, you can't.

LEON: Hey, Lawson, I'm patching a call through to you.

LAWSON: This is TR-1. Go ahead.

MAN: Lawson? David Napthorne of Major Crime.

G'day, David.

I'm near the Docklands off Fern Street.

Get here, will you? There's something I want you to see.

OK. Copy that.

NAPTHORNE: Lawson, I haven't seen you in a while.

David.

Ran into Kerry earlier today. How are you two getting along?

What am I doing here, David?

You want to guess?

NAPTHORNE: Kerry said you'd talked to Bucek...

Yeah, yeah, I did.

-I'm sorry. -What for?

Look, Lawson, I got a chief suspect and that's it.

LAWSON: Yep.

-See you, Dave. -Cheers, mate.
