(GENERAL CHATTER)

(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY)

Police! Down on the ground. Down on the ground. Do it now!

-Get on the ground! -(INDISTINCT YELLING)

-Get on the ground! -WOMAN: Get on the ground!

Get on the ground! Get on the ground!

Down on the ground!

Get on the ground! Get on the ground!

Arggh!

Down on the ground! Do it now!

Don't move! Hands where I can see them.

Hands behind your head.

WOMAN: Hey! Hey!

Stop! Police!

Get him.

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

You might wanna do that somewhere else.

-Right, let's go. -On what grounds?

Resisting arrest for one. Stell, let's take her to TR-1.

Look what he was carrying.

Let's add possession of a controlled weapon to the list.

-These are yours? -Yeah, lost him.

Alright. Michael, take him to TR-2.

You gonna tell me what this is about?

Breach of liquor licensing laws.

Bogus.

MICHAEL: Up we get.

Uh, Shan. Swap with Stella. Ride with me.

Michael, take your guy to St Kilda Road.

We'll take the girl to Flinders Lane.

-What happened to you? -She kicked me.

Welcome back.

OK, we're good.

Get them off for you now.

Sorry about the arm.

I'll live.

So...what's it all about?

Well, our orders were to go in, make arrests and pull you out.

That's all we know.

No-one said why?

Was top operation. We know the bare minimum.

From here, we're taking you to see your boss.

He wants to speak with you.

Eddie - I should have known.

Hell of a way to make contact.

You didn't give me much choice.

You haven't made contact in over three weeks.

What do you think that's about?

If he just wanted to talk to her, there's easier ways to do it.

Reckon the operation's being wrapped up.

-This swap. -Yeah.

-Things are weird? -Yep.

No weirdness from me.

Look, it was just a misunderstanding, that's all.

OK.

Yeah, it was. Look, you obviously misunderstood me.

I did?

Well, of course you did.

-You needed somewhere to stay. -I had somewhere to stay.

Well, I mean, somewhere decent, OK?

Was just trying to help you out, that's all.

Right. OK.

So I misunderstood.

Yeah, 'cause we can't go there.

-Course we can't. -No, 'cause I'm your boss.

Lawson, I wasn't thinking of going there at all.

OK, OK, fine.

Can we move on?

Go to hell.

Senior Sergeant Blake will escort you to a safe house for debriefing.

Thanks for everything, Eddie.

-MICHAEL: Nice place. -STELLA: Yeah, it's alright.

(TOOTS HORN)

JOSH: I've gotta do this bullshit audit.

You signed it out so make something up. I've gotta write something down.

Jeez, Josh, that was, like, two years ago.

Is he sleeping in that?

Looks like trouble in paradise.

Oh, here we go.

Alright, um...

I don't know, run over by a truck. How's that sound, huh? Happy?

Yeah, I'm absolutely stoked.

I'm counting every screw, bullet and toilet roll in the joint.

See you.

Good on you. Bye.

In the doghouse, mate?

You get in the back.

-All good? -Yeah.

Fine. Yeah, thanks. Fine.

-Hey, Stell. -Yo.

-One of these mine? -Mm-hm.

Thank you.

(STARTS ENGINE)

-How long were you in? -A year.

Must be a disappointing way to end it.

So, why did you choose undercover?

It sort of chose me.

Eddie made it sound like the only thing you'd ever wanna do.

Yeah, I thought about giving it a crack once.

You? An undercover?

What?

No, I just can't imagine it, that's all.

Yeah, I thought about it but didn't think I had the necessary attributes.

You're not a paranoid psychologically dysfunctional loner?

Yeah, something like that.

Let's take this left up here.

Go, go, go.

No, no, we're good.

If I don't get something to eat soon, I'm gonna be sick.

It's two hours to Colac. I vote we get breakfast.

Actually, I am gonna be sick.

(VOMITS AND COUGHS)

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Hi.

Yeah, it's no hassle.

That's alright. OK, I'll see you soon.

Alright.

Just a quick detour.

We'll go to South Melbourne.

(VOMITS AND COUGHS)

Do you wanna go to a doctor?

Hard night, that's all.

Come on, look, you're...

Come on, look, you're down to bile.

Thanks.

I'll survive.

Oh, this reminds me of the worst date I ever had,

except he didn't hold my hair back.

You'd make great boyfriend material.

Yes, well, that's a minority opinion.

Gonna go clean myself up.

OK. Do you need anything?

Shannon!

(TYRES SCREECH)

-You OK? -Yeah, I think so.

You alright?

Arggh!

Yeah, the driver was Zac Costa. I'm sure of it.

Oh, well, the Nissan was reported stolen this morning.

KERRY: So he followed you?

I think she tipped him off.

Why would she do that?

She wasn't happy about being pulled out, that's for sure.

Maybe she's gone back to finish the job

or, I don't know, maybe she's gone over.

When Costa picked her up,

there was no indication that she was under arrest.

She wasn't cuffed and she was walking around of her own free will.

It's gonna be pretty hard to explain.

So he'll know she's a cop.

Or at the very least she's cooperating.

So I don't have to tell you, we need to find her quickly.

I'm gonna get onto Eddie, see what he can give us.

If you get lucky, make some arrests.

OK. Copy that.

How's the shit-kicking duties?

Shit. What's going on?

Oh, Lawson's lost his undercover.

Well, it's gotta be hard being a man down.

I think he'll manage.

We could cut the shit-kicking duties and I could get out and do my job.

That's a no?

(WHISPERS) Get back to the storeroom.

Hey, Eddie.

Yeah, it's Kerry Vincent.

You heard?

Yeah, just here.

STELLA: How old is she? Like, 12?

-Thank you. -That's alright.

You're my saviour.

Little bit awkward right now, Chanel.

You should've told me you were working.

What I shall do for you...

..is I will give you...

Oh, that is shit.

Stella, you don't know what's going on.

(SCOFFS) Yeah, right.

You working late tonight?

(LAUGHS) I'll see you guys later, hey?

OK, this is gonna be entertaining. Lie number five.

Ahh!

Sandrine's cousin.

(SIGHS)

I guess she got the wasp gene, hey?

Clear.

Take a closer look around.

Look at this.

More than just friends, I'd say.

-You're right about that. -(DOOR HANDLE CLICKS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Police! Don't...!

(SIGHS)

What the hell do you think YOU'RE doing here?

Looking for your undercover.

I think she's in deep shit.

How hard could it be to drive her to the safe house?

Well, no-one told us she's a flight risk.

-What's going on with her? -She's lost focus.

Maybe you don't know her.

I hand-picked that girl. Believe me, I know her.

Well, then, you'd know she's pregnant.

Leon.

-Got anything on Jess's phone? -Uh...nuh, it's still switched off.

Yeah, what about Costa?

Switched off too, but I've got their phone carriers on stand-by

for triangulation if they come back on air.

OK, copy that.

I would've thought forming relationships was a big no-no.

This job's all about relationships...

..mate.

If they were lovers, how did you expect her to bring him in?

Costa and Novak aren't our main targets.

I can't tell you any more than that.

What do you think Costa's gonna do when he finds out she's a cop?

She won't tell him.

They're having a baby. She has to come clean.

She'll see the light before then. She has to come back to us.

Her bank accounts, credit cards, driver's licence -

all cancelled.

Jessica North doesn't exist anymore.

Alright, well...

..the warrant for Costa's arrest is still good.

We'll go and get him, maybe we can get her back.

You'll make sure you keep her cover intact.

I'll be sure not to spoil your investigation.

Come on.

(MUFFLED CHATTER)

(MUFFLED) She won't tell him.

(ON SPEAKER) Jessica North doesn't exist anymore.

-Hey, fellas. -(SPED-UP TAPE PLAYS)

Zac Costa.

Bit nervous. I need another glass of water.

Zac?

Yeah.

We're having a baby.

(LAUGHS) For real!

Are you...alright?

Well...we'll just have to get married.

-Yeah?! -(LAUGHING) Yeah!

-(GIGGLES) -Check out the date.

-That's yesterday. -Eddie's a lying prick. He knew.

-(SQUEALS) -(LAUGHS)

Her getting pregnant was obviously the trigger to pull her out.

I don't understand why he just didn't pull her out

when he first saw they were gonna get involved.

The more involved, the more information.

Hmm, she'd know there were cameras.

Well, you'd think so.

Jesus, what's she doing?

Goading them to pull her off the job?

I don't care what Eddie says.

She'd know the rules about getting involved with criminal targets.

Yeah, well, she's beyond caring. She looks pretty happy.

What would you do if you were in Jess's position?

What? Pregnant to a crook?

No, if you're in love with someone you shouldn't be.

I'd never let myself get in that position.

She lost control.

What do you reckon Costa will do if he finds out?

Probably kill her.

Hi.

What is it this time?

I'm after Zac Costa. Is he here?

I haven't seen Zac since this morning.

Do you know where he is? I have some outstanding warrants for him.

-No, I don't know. -Right.

-See anything you like? -Poontana.

Wow! Short AND bilingual!

-Hey. What did you just say to her? -(BLOWS KISS)

Apologise.

No, that's OK, Dom.

I think he's cute.

Don't I, little one? (BLOWS KISS) Hey?

Did he say if he'd be coming back?

-No. -Right.

(ON RADIO) Boss, we've been to the bar.

There's no sign of Costa or the girl and Novak's not talking.

OK, thanks, mate.

Leon, you there?

Has Drug Squad got back with anything on Costa yet?

Usual haunts or anywhere he might go?

We put in the request but nothing back yet.

I get the feeling they're dragging the chain.

He's still protecting his investigation.

MAN: Help! Help!

Michael, get the car down the alley so we can stand on the roof.

(GRUNTS)

STELLA: Just hold still, mate.

-Suffering for your art! -Will you help me?!

ARGGH!

Hey, Leon, we're gonna need an ambulance to Rutledge Lane.

Yeah, I'm on it.

Michael, neck kit!

-Hold still. Hold still. -(GROANS)

-Arrgh! -His leg's broken.

-How old are you? -18!

Well, you're old enough to know better, aren't you?!

-Dom! -No! These idiots shit me!

Bloody vandalising public property!

Mate, stop giving me 'tude! I'm legit!

'Tude'? What's tu...? What is he saying, Michael?

-He's legit. -He's legit!

-Right. -(MOANS)

There you go. Permit from the city council.

He's legally allowed to do street art.

Bullshit.

You right?

-Yeah, why? -Sandrine's niece?

Cousin.

-That's none of your business. -OK, Dom.

Hey, stop!

Stop!

Oh, please!

Hey, look.

I think it's blood.

There.

Kerry, you might want to have a look at this.

Yeah?

There's fresh blood outside Novak's place.

Any sight of the girl?

Nuh.

Here we go. (BANGS ON DOOR)

Hey! Hello, again.

(MEN SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Is there a problem, officer?

Yeah, there's a lot of blood out here in this alleyway

and it leads to the backdoor of your club.

-I don't know anything about that. -Oh, really?

What are you cleaning up here with this mop and bucket?

Who the hell knows? See, people walk all sorts of shit in here.

Yeah, no doubt.

Stella, you stay here with these guys.

Costa's using his mobile.

Lawson, Costa's using his mobile. We've got a location for you.

He's in Port Melbourne.

Yeah, it's Bay Street, Port Melbourne.

Near Danks Street.

OK. We're five away. Do you know who he's calling?

A North Balwyn number...

G and M O'Donoghue?

SHANNON: Jess's parents?

Why is he calling her parents?

DOM: Kerry, the blood trail ends just inside the door.

I checked through the bar

and there's no more inside that seems obvious.

OK, well, treat it as a crime scene.

I've got some FMO's coming down there to take a look.

Alright, do you want me to make arrests?

Look...uh, we've gotta hold off on that.

Eddie wants to keep them in play.

See if we can get something more solid.

OK.

Hey.

Hey, you were up there 'cause you wanted some free wall, yeah?

Now, did you see anything while you were up there?

Anything that might've happened in this lane here?

First you were being an a-hole giving me 'tude

and now you want me to give you shit.

What are you saying? Will you speak English?!

What did he say?

You were an arsehole giving him attitude.

Now he doesn't want to tell you anything.

Hey, look, buddy.

There's a lot of blood over there. OK?

This is serious!

-Now, do you know anything about it? -Nup.

A woman's life is in danger.

Leon, we're on Danks. There's no sign of him here.

LEON: Yeah, he's turned off his phone again.

Last position was... on Danks Street and Graham Street

heading towards Graham.

By the speed of it, I think on foot.

He's not on the street.

-Any known associates around here? -Nuh.

-Take the next block? -Yeah, go down Graham.

(SIGHS) Always men outside those clinics.

Who look like they've never had sex.

Actually...pull over.

We've got our permit.

Senior Sergeant Lawson Blake,

Senior Constable Shannon Henry, Tactical Response.

Just wondering if you could help us.

Either of these two come in here in the last hour?

I'm sorry. I can't give out any information on patients.

Unless you had a warrant.

-Sorry. -OK.

We'll need a few more of these the next time we come out here.

Afternoon. Just wondering if you could help us with our inquiries.

Seen...?

-(WOMAN SCREAMS) -WOMAN: Help!

WOMAN: (SCREAMS) DON'T TOUCH ME!

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

She's in too much of a state to have it done today.

When the doctor tried to explain, she became very aggressive.

-(WOMAN CRIES, SCREAMS) -MAN: Don't get upset.

(CRIES)

No, don't touch me!

(CRIES HYSTERICALLY)

No, let me go in. Let me speak to her.

(CRIES)

ARRGH! Get off me!

-Jess! Jess! -(CRIES CONTINUOUSLY)

Jess.

Jess, darling.

Jump up.

Jess, I know you're upset.

-Sweetheart... -Leave me alone!

Sweetheart, it's OK.

Did he hit you?

Did Zac do this to you?

(WHIMPERING) Yes.

You told him you were the police?

Yes.

He hates me. He was so vicious.

These are things we can talk about,

but, Jess, they won't do the procedure today.

-I want it out of me. -It can happen.

Just not today.

I want it out of me now.

-It will happen. -It's not fair!

Look at me! I WANT IT OUT OF ME!

Listen to me. It will happen. It will happen. Just not today.

Today is not the day to be making a decision like this.

-(WAILS) -Jess?

-Come here. -(SOBS)

Hey, we're gonna take care of you, I promise.

You're gonna be safe.

I guess this is what happens when you're an a-hole.

Do you want me to have a go?

-Whatever. -(SIGHS)

-Mind if I have a chat? -Go for it.

-Is that one of yours? -Uh-huh.

-It's really sexy. -Yeah?

Is that your stencil art as well?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

So, um...have you seen either of these two around?

Uh...

Not her. Him, yes.

He was just sitting down there.

What, at that door?

Yeah, but there was another guy who was ragging on him pretty bad.

They were having an argument?

Yeah, something about...I don't know, "fixing her" or something.

Did they say who they were gonna fix?

Nuh.

OK, the other guy he was arguing with...

-Was it that guy? -Yes. That's him.

But the other guy, he was in pretty bad shape.

I don't know, he just sat there.

What, and then he left?

Yeah...yeah. Pretty much.

-Which way? -Um...that way.

-Thanks. -No worries.

Shall we go?

Yeah, I'll ring you. OK, bye.

How's the temper?

Good.

Feel like hitting anyone?

Not yet.

Well, you make sure you tell me when you do.

You'll be the first to know.

Are they yours?

Oh, yeah. Were they in the storeroom?

(LAUGHS) Nina'll be thrilled.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yeah, Kerry Vincent?

Oh, g'day, Eddie.

Oh, look, Lawson just caught up with her. She's pretty messed up.

I think it's best if she tells you that.

No, no, no. She's in a bad way.

Zac Costa beat her up.

Hey! Hey, just calm down.

You didn't tell us what we were in for, alright?

That girl, I don't think she's right in the head.

She's telling the guy she's a cop.

Well, we just got her.

Lawson's taking her back to the safe house.

Sure thing.

You go for it, small dick.

That's not very ladylike, Kerry.

Oh, what do you reckon? Soft cock? Does that do it for you?

Just... Just drop me off at the cab rank. I'll find my way from there.

No, look, we're going to take you to the safe house.

No, just drop me off.

-Listen, I can't just drop you... -Am I under arrest?

No, why would you be under arrest?

Then you can't hold me. I'm not a cop anymore. I quit.

Jess, you have to assume that everybody in that organisation

knows you're a cop.

They know you're a cop.

That puts you in significant danger.

You need to be somewhere safe.

Not the safe house.

It's not safe, not with Eddie.

He's a pervert. He watched me. He saw everything.

And he doesn't care about anything except his information.

-Just let me out! -Jess!

-Let me out of the car. -Jess. Jess...

Unlock the door!

(TYRES SQUEAL)

Jess, listen to me. Just listen.

Right now, you're my responsibility, OK?

And I can't let you out here. Do you understand?

Now we're going to go somewhere. Not the safe house, alright?

Somewhere away from Eddie. You can have a shower and clean yourself up.

And you can think about what you want do next.

-(PATS JESS'S SHOULDER) -OK?

OK.

I've got a report here from a pharmacy on Swanston Street

of a man fitting Zac Costa's description,

bleeding from a stomach wound, trying to buy bandages.

Do you reckon he's been stabbed?

I've got him on CCTV on Flinders underpass, heading west.

That was 12 minutes ago,

and then eight minutes ago on Flinders Walk,

on the north side of the river opposite the casino.

Sounds like he's headed to Jess's apartment at Yarra's Edge,

But why would he go there?

To kill her. (FLICKS SWITCH)

(SIRENS WAIL)

(SIRENS WAIL)

(DOOR OPENS)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(GASPS)

Jess?

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(EXHALES WEARILY)

JESS: Where are we?

My place. Believe me, it'll be safe.

No-one comes here.

She OK?

Hmm. Have you got any fresh clothes she can wear?

Uh, yeah.

(DEEP-VOICED) Adrian!

-Uh, yeah, um... -(CHUCKLES)

I hope she's a Hawks fan.

Thanks for the offer to let me stay.

No problem.

You know, the offer still stands if you need it.

Thank you.

Oh, hang on.

Here.

Velour? Nice.

Um, they're not mine.

Really?

Yeah.

Don't think she's coming back for them either.

(SIRENS WAIL)

DOMINIC: Leon, tell Kerry we've arrived at Jess's place.

(TYRES SCREECH)

Put your hands up. Drop your weapon. Drop your weapon.

-Don't... Don't come any closer. -Put your weapon down.

Leon, we're going to need an ambulance.

If you keep bleeding like that, I'm worried you're going to die.

-Piss off. -Hey.

Just drop the knife and we'll get you to a hospital.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(LAUGHS) I had no idea about her.

She was good at her job.

Everything she told me was a lie.

Hey, she went back for you.

Where is she?

She's back with us.

Is she OK? I want to see her.

Look, how about we just worry about getting you in front of a doctor?

-Get me a phone. -No, that won't happen.

I have to see her.

She's gone, Zac.

Jess?

I've got some fresh clothes.

KERRY: Listen. Listen to me.

I've got Eddie ringing me every five minutes,

Costa's running around with a stab wound -

it's a frigging disaster.

I don't know what she's doing there with you but she's not your problem.

Just take her to the safe house.

OK? I can only hold off Eddie for so long.

LAWSON: Yeah, OK. We'll do that, Kerry.

Just hop to it, yeah?

Costa's been stabbed. He's on his way to hospital now.

Did they say by who?

No, but two possibilities jump out, don't they?

(DOOR OPENS)

You'll feel better if you eat something.

Thanks.

Jess, this isn't over for you yet.

I told you, I quit.

It's not as simple as that.

You'll need to be debriefed.

Eddie knows everything. He saw it all.

No, YOU need to be debriefed, OK?

I would have thought you'd have some personal things to work out.

Have they found Zac yet?

Uh, yes.

Another TR team picked him up.

He's on his way to the hospital.

I screwed everything up, didn't I?

Jess, you fell in love.

Jess, for your own sake, you need to finish this. OK?

(HEAVY KNOCK AT DOOR)

Where is she?

What's he doing here?

You said no Eddie.

Jess, he found us. OK? We didn't call him.

EDDIE: You did brilliantly, Jess.

We're going to move on Novak's operation.

Get him for conspiracy to import.

I thought you were after their supplier?

Another day.

As far as Novak and his crew are concerned,

this is a huge win for us.

You should feel incredibly proud of yourself.

Hardest job in the world.

Remember I told you that?

Anyway, we've got a lot to talk about so...

I'm not going with you.

Because of Costa?

She doesn't want to go with you because she doesn't trust you.

Not very big on the health and welfare of your people, are you?

We saw the surveillance tape.

You stabbed him, didn't you?

Did Zac say that?

Not yet, but he will at the trial.

Oh, come on. Think about it.

You claim self-defence, you'll get off.

We have to get in first or we won't get...

Look, if Zac Costa hasn't made a complaint and she's denying it,

you really haven't got anything.

I've got a stab victim.

Well, maybe you should speak with Novak.

He'd have a fairly good reason, I would have thought.

I'd like to speak to Jess alone.

Thank you.

(SHUTS DOOR)

(WASHING MACHINE STARTS)

What do you think you're doing?

He used her and he's going to keep on using her.

-No, it's not fair. -(STOPS MACHINE)

Look, we don't do that. OK?

We're going.

Are you good?

Hmm.

Is that hers?

You have to trust the process, Jess.

I'm sorry.

(STARTS ENGINE)

Uh, can you, um, take the TR back?

I'm going to stay here.

Sure.
