Original subtitles

JACINTA: Let's have chocolate pudding for breakfast.

-Huh? -Let's have chocolate pudding.

Oh. You're, um, getting some ideas.

Yes.

It's those big round things on your face.

-What? -Chocolate dishy-lishy...

God, I love your eyes.

Uh, mmm. 'Cause they make you think of pudding?

Mmm.

-I have to go. -No, you don't.

-Yes, I'm already late. -No, I think you look pale.

-Huh? -I'm gonna ring Kerry for you.

-(PRESSES KEYS) -Mm-hm.

Is that Kerry?

-Shit! Oh, shit. -(LAUGHS) Sorry.

(SIGHS)

Maybe time for a new one?

No, she's been everywhere with me.

-Maybe she's seen better days. -God!

Look, how about later, when I get back...

No. I'm over it now.

(SIGHS)

I'll be going, then.

Too much ambition and not enough sex drive. (SLAMS DOOR)

Thank you, darling. You have a good day too.

MICHAEL: You put the cream and maple syrup on one side, flip it over,

lemon and sugar on the other.

Yep, and then the cream sticks to the plate, so...

-You can still taste it, though. -That is a ridiculous argument.

I'm not making an argument.

I'm telling you how I like my pancakes.

OK. It's dumb, Michael. It's really dumb.

Lawson, don't you agree?

-Leave him alone. He's happy. -What?

-(LAUGHS) -KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Uh, Lawson?

Yeah?

I need you to head out to Warrandyte for me.

Youth Services have got an issue.

Leon will send the information to you now.

Oh, great. Let me guess - drunk dad, depressed mum, kids running amok.

Uh, not quite.

-LAWSON: G'day. -Hi. Karissa Mahoud. Youth Services.

Lawson Blake.

-You copped a good one, didn't you? -Mmm.

So, how long since you spoke to the occupants of the house?

-Oh, 10 minutes ago. -Right.

GIRL: (SHOUTS) Don't come in here!

Look, we just wanna have a chat, that's all.

You're trespassing!

Look, why don't you come down here so we can sort this out?

Gun. Gun!

Leave! Please.

Go! I mean it!

Now!

Alright, when you're set, you two do a recce.

And just watch yourself. Amanda looks pretty confident with that shotgun.

My kinda girl.

Can't you bust open the door?

Well, you tried to take a short cut, look where that got ya.

OK, I currently have 22 cases that I'm trying to manage.

I'm supposed to have 12.

These girls, yes, they need our attention,

but while they're in there playing house

there is a 2-year-old out there somewhere

getting the crap beaten out of him,

so, yes, I am keen to get this moving along.

OK. Can you tell me what you were doing here in the first place?

(SIGHS) We've had half a dozen complaints,

everything from truancy to under-age sex.

Alright. Anyway of those confirmed?

The woman who runs the place keeps dodging my calls.

Right. Well, is that woman on the premises now?

I was trying to speak to the girls

without the influence of the same people...

OK, OK, so that's a no. OK, that's fine.

Leon, do you wanna see if there's a landline registered to this address?

LEON: Uh, no landline.

Half a dozen mobile numbers registered to the house.

OK, do we have one registered to Amanda, uh...

-Moss. -..Moss?

LEON: (TYPES) Got it.

Locals have been giving them a hard time.

KERRY: Yeah?

Yeah, the main house has been paintbombed,

a few scuffles between the neighbours.

-What have we got on the residents? -The place is run by Sheree Holston.

Former teacher, offers courses in self-expression,

freeing of the spirit.

-Oh, everyone hates the hippies. -Oh, she takes it a bit further.

It says here that, "Corruption of the soul starts at school.

"Kids are impregnated with a set of beliefs

"that lead to greed and ambition."

Oh, right, so she corrupts them with her own insecurities.

I hate hypocrites, more than I hate hippies.

-(LAUGHS) Amen. -Uh, put in a call.

-See if we can have a chat. -Yeah, I tried that.

She's on her way back from Sydney, apparently.

Oh, yeah. Get the uniforms down to the airport.

We need to talk to her as soon as she gets off that plane.

Yeah, will do. Hey, it's Mr Nine-to-Five.

-Morning. -How's Sandrine?

Yeah, she's better. Well, sort of. Better with me around a bit more.

That's great, 'cause I've actually got some logs here that need to...

-Oh, no! Paperwork! -Oh, office hours, officework.

OK, well, it's just for a week or two, alright?

As long as you need, Dom, as long as you need.

Just find yourself a desk, 'cause this is mine.

Thank you.

SHANNON: Michael said you two went to school together.

Yeah. Melbourne High boys.

-Is that private? -No, it's a State school.

It takes local kids, but there's also a selection process.

Were you in the catchment area?

Nup, I passed the test.

JOSH: What about Michael?

Yeah, he got in on his scores too.

They probably wanted him for the chess club.

Well, he was opening batsman for the first.

Yeah, I could see Michael in his whites.

He was pretty talented, actually. Top marks in class, good clubsman.

Shit with chicks.

Well, going to a boys' school will do that to ya.

-LAWSON: (OVER RADIO) Josh. -Yeah?

-We're gonna need backup, mate. -Copy that.

Stell?

STELLA: Door at the rear of the house,

several windows along the side.

-OK, any movement? -No, nothing yet.

Alright, Michael, I want you to hold position.

Stell, come back around here. I'm about to make contact.

(RINGING TONE)

Amanda, my name's Lawson.

-I'm with the police. -AMANDA: I've called Ted.

OK, uh, who's Ted?

Wait and see. He's on his way.

Look, what I'm interested in

is what's happening right here, right now.

That's your whole world, right?

Short-term gratification.

Look, I'm not here to challenge your beliefs in any way.

It's none of my business.

Karissa needs to know

that you're being treated in an appropriate manner.

We're fine.

Look, Amanda, can you tell me who else is in the house with you?

Look, I know how to use this gun. (DISCONNECTS CALL)

AMANDA: (OVER RADIO HEADPHONES) There are cops everywhere.

Not the usual ones. They've got better clothes.

MAN: (OVER RADIO HEADPHONES) And you didn't call them?

-It wasn't us. -Cops don't just show up, Amanda.

-I don't know why they're here. -Stay on the line, Amanda.

-You're listening to... -Leon.

-Radio. -Hey?

942 AM.

Kerry, you'll wanna have a listen to this.

It's streaming from a local AM station, coming through now.

Then the police show up with their guns.

They must have a reason for being there.

People always wanna make out that we're up to something.

So, you had police around there before?

Lawson, can you put an end to this right now?

Kerry, I still need to work out who's in there.

-You wanna have a listen to this? -..not to anyone.

All we're asking is to be left alone.

So, you see this as an infringement of your rights?

Not just our rights, it's yours too.

If people wanna come down here

and help us stand up for our freedom, then...

-Jesus. -Lawson, you'll have to go in there.

Or you're gonna have a busload of rabble on your hands.

Look, we know at least one minor has to get out of there.

Yes, but she doesn't really want to come out, Kerry, that's the point.

(CAR APPROACHES)

-This is a police cordon... -Please.

-Hey! Hey. -You don't belong here. Leave!

I need you to get behind the car, alright?

Stell, stand down.

Can I help you?

I'm Ted Holston. This is my property.

OK. We have the property listed under a Sheree Holston.

That's my mum. She's on her way here.

OK. Look, we need to speak with Amanda.

You're not talking to anyone.

Look, can you tell us how many people are in the house?

Look, I'm just trying to facilitate a peaceful resolution...

You're trying to stick your nose into someone else's business.

-Well, Ted, that's not true. -Why don't you just leave?

Well, I can't do that. I'm sorry.

If you go in there, you will be.

Watch yourself.

(STARTS ENGINE)

-Thanks. -Listen.

We need to try and do this as quietly and as calmly as possible.

He breached the cordon.

Stell, he may have been some use to us,

but you burned him and he shut down straightaway.

Yeah, well, I had it under control.

-You pushed him. -Sometimes you got to.

(CAR APPROACHES)

Vest up, OK?

Michael's taken position around the back.

(GUNSHOT, SCREAMING)

-Michael, get a visual. -MICHAEL: (OVER RADIO) Copy that.

-Stell? -Nothing.

Police! Down on the ground!

-Drop it! -(ALL SHOUT)

-Put it down! -Police! Don't move!

Down on the ground! Down on the ground!

-Anyone hurt? -No, it just went off.

It was an accident. You shouldn't have done this.

Down on the ground. Facedown on the ground.

Weapon clear? Weapon clear?!

MAN: Clear!

(CHILDREN CRY)

KARISSA: You'll be right. In you go.

It's alright, girls. Come on.

It's OK.

-OK. Stop crying. Let's go. -If you'd hop in, thanks, Amanda.

-Yeah, this is abduction. -Just do as you're told, thank you.

(SIGHS) Well, she says it just went off.

-Lucky it didn't take her head off. -Mmm.

You gonna charge her with anything?

Well, she's up for a firearms offence, for a start.

I mean, Youth Services wanna talk to all of 'em, including her.

(SIGHS) I'll see what they come up with first.

I had no idea it was a house full of kids.

How else would we have gone in? It's SOP.

You want us to follow the bus?

Yeah, yeah, you'd better.

-I'll take a look around. -Alright. See you soon.

Ooh, he spotted us.

-Man, I hate hippies. -They're not hippies.

They're just from the outer suburbs.

-Where are you from, Shaz? -The outer suburbs.

-What about you, Josh? -Uh, around.

He grew up on a farm. Didn't you?

Heard you had a stab playing in the AFL.

Yeah, I gave it my best.

-Injuries put you out? -Nah. I just wasn't good enough.

Yeah, well, it's pretty tough, isn't it?

Yeah, but when it comes down to it, you've just gotta have the goods.

I didn't.

-STELLA: Anything? -MICHAEL: A lot of nothing.

I'm not really into this vegies and grow-your-own crap,

but it's pretty nice, hey?

I don't know, Stell.

I can kind of see you in gumboots, feeding the chooks.

-Alright, I take it back. -(BOTH LAUGH)

-How did you go? -All clear.

Hey, Leon, we need to do a location check...

Scratch that, Leon. Stell, I've done all the necessary checks.

Let's go.

-SHANNON: He's on my tail. -JOSH: As long as he stays there.

No, he's, like, right on my tail.

Idiot.

What do you reckon Amanda sees in him?

They're just playing grown-ups. That's what kids do.

-Do you reckon he's schtupping her? -Eyes on the car, Elliot.

-Alright, just head to Fitzroy. -Why's that?

Can you just do it?

Boy, you like pushing around girls, don't you?

OK, bad joke.

Look, I feel crap about the way we handled it too, Lawson.

Wow. Glad to hear that, Stell.

Whoa, he's cracked it.

(TYRES SQUEAL, SIREN WAILS)

Ted! Ted!

-Step away. -I want them out of there.

-Get out of there now! -JOSH: Hands on the steering wheel!

Reach outside the car. Get out of the car.

Hands behind your back, up against the car there, please.

-Let me out! -SHANNON: I need you to sit down, OK?

Just sit down for me.

-You all good? -KARISSA: Yeah, thanks.

Ted. You've got one of two options.

You can walk away

or you can continue to interfere with our process,

in which case we will arrest you.

This is none of your business.

It is our business.

And those girls are gonna be interviewed today.

Fine. Go on, then, take 'em.

It's clear.

-Alright, off you go. -OK, do what you will.

I don't wanna see you again.

OK.

You got a problem?

-Alright, let's go. -(ENGINE STARTS)

(CARS DEPART)

You're better off getting a new one.

I've got some beautiful leather-bound notebooks, handmade paper.

Yeah, I really need that one.

You're wasting your dough. It'll cost too much to fix.

That's alright. I just need it done today.

Even if I was able to put it back together,

the glue takes at least 48 hours to dry.

Alright, is there any way of fixing it without glue?

You want me to sew it back together?

I don't really care how much it costs, alright?

Just can you get it done today?

Look, with all due respect, it is just a book.

Look, I know it's just a notebook,

but it's very important to the woman who owns it, OK?

Also, I need it delivered.

Guys, just make your way up the ramp, into the foyer.

Wanna head inside, sweetie?

-I'm Emily. -Hi, Emily. I'm Shannon.

Wanna go inside with the other girls? The lady will look after you.

-Is that what you want me to do? -Yeah, thanks.

The detectives will be around to talk to the girls

once you've finished your questions.

Oh, please tell Senior Sergeant Blake that I'm grateful.

-OK. -Yeah.

And I'm sorry if I put you guys in a difficult position.

That's OK.

Really, I'm not one to go in hard.

See ya later.

Doesn't mind if someone goes in on her behalf, though.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hey. How's YOUR day?

Uh, I'm incredibly busy. Do you know where my notebook is?

I thought you were taking the day off.

I was. Now I need my notebook.

It was on the kitchen bench.

Well, it's not here now.

-I don't know. -Is this some attempt to...

-To what? -Plan out my day for me?

No.

Alright, then.

See you.

(DISCONNECTS CALL)

-(PHONE RINGS) -Leon.

OK, send it through.

VKC have an incident in progress.

They're patching through a mobile phone call now.

-Uh-huh. Are you gonna track it? -Yep. It's coming through now.

Uh, hello, this is Inspector Kerry Vincent of Tactical Response.

Uh, who am I speaking to?

MAN: (ON PHONE) Nick.

Nick, what can we do for you?

Yeah, yeah, um, we need help.

Uh, what seems to be the problem?

Look, they've got shotguns, OK, and they've taken over the bus.

Can you tell me where you are?

I'm not sure exactly. I'm not from Melbourne.

But we were on our way to the wineries.

I just wanna confirm with you, Nick, your tour bus has been hijacked.

-Is that right? -Yeah. I've gotta go.

-KERRY: Did you get it? -Yeah, I got it. It's a GPS phone.

-(PHONE RINGS) -Lawson.

LAWSON: (ON PHONE) Yeah.

Yeah, it looks like a bus has been hijacked somewhere outside the city.

LEON: (MUTTERS) The guy's called 000.

Details?

He's dumped the driver, kept the passengers.

OK, what's the location?

Eastern Freeway, Kew.

Yep, on it.

(TYRES SQUEAL, SIREN WAILS)

Yep. Got it. Thanks.

Lawson, the hijackers have already made a demand.

-Yeah? -They want the girls back.

Right, Leon, we need those uniforms to back off.

-Yeah, onto it. -OK, let's get up behind him.

Leon, do you know how many on board?

18 adults listed in the tour company's bookings.

They were headed to the Yarra Valley.

-OK, let's take a closer look. -Yep.

-Yeah, that's him. -Gun, gun! Pull back. Pull back.

(GUNSHOT, GLASS SHATTERS)

(PASSENGERS SCREAM)

Calm down!

MICHAEL: Leon, we have shots fired.

Visual confirmation, it is Ted Holston.

-Looks like a pump action shotgun. -Do we know where they're headed?

Well, he's headed east at the moment, Kerry. That's all we know.

-Uh, Josh. -JOSH: (OVER RADIO) Yeah?

Look, get back to the girls, see they're in a secure area.

Copy that.

Yeah, Leon, give me Ted's number.

I wanna try and calm this prick down, yeah?

LEON: Yeah, I'm texting it through to you now.

-Isolate the line? -Done.

(PHONE RINGS)

(OVER PHONE) Ted, it's Lawson Blake.

I want them back.

OK, look, I need you to pull that bus over, OK?

Well, I would like you to return the girls.

What do you say?

Ted, I understand that you're frustrated at the moment, OK?

But I'm sure that you and I

can work out a better way to handle it than this, wouldn't you say?

-I won't hurt anyone... -Well, that's good. Glad to hear it.

..if you bring the girls back.

-If you don't... -OK, look.

Let's just start by pulling the bus over and then we can have a talk.

Force seems to be the only thing you people understand.

-Deal with it. -He's gone.

OK, is there any chance of an intercept?

Well, no, we've gotta get him out of this traffic first.

Alright, I'll organise backup.

Alright, let's try and veer him off this freeway, OK?

Leon, see where we can get this guy off the freeway.

Doing it now.

I want everyone's phones.

Come on. Quickly.

That's it.

Hurry up.

Come on.

-You? -MAN: (NERVOUSLY) Relax.

Mate, he hasn't got a phone, OK? I haven't got a phone.

-Where are you taking us? -Home.

I'm taking you all home.

PASSENGER: What?

Speed it up, Dave.

(BABIES CRY)

-Have you told them anything? -No, they've got no idea.

OK, you need to make sure that none of them...

Where's the girl with the short dark hair?

-Emily, she's gone. -How the hell has she gone?

Um, we-we had to separate them so that they would talk.

When did you last see her?

Um, we had her in interview room four when you called.

She must have nicked off when I was getting them all together.

-Did she make any admissions? -Uh, sort of.

She asked if it was normal to have sex in front of other people.

-Did you call Sex Crimes? -Well, I didn't wanna freak her out.

She was scared, you know.

She kept trying to take it all back

and then saying that she was just joking.

-Some joke for a 14-year-old. -Well, I agree.

But it was just a suggestion. I needed to make sure.

If I called the police every time there was a suggestion of abuse...

OK, fine. Can you make sure everyone stays here?

-We'll get some uniforms down. -I've been onto security.

No-one can enter or exit without a swipe card now.

Leon, we need backup down here.

Let's get to security, see if they've got anything.

One of the girls has done a runner.

Security has her leaving a few minutes before we arrived.

Was she on her own?

Yeah, she just wandered out to the street and took off.

Was there any reasons?

They're saying, uh, some sort of sexual abuse.

Ah, right. No wonder Teddy wants them back.

Look, we'll put out a KALOF, get the uniforms onto it.

-I need you back with Lawson. -OK.

Josh, you right with this?

Well, I don't really like the idea

of her out here wandering around by herself, but, you know.

Well, unless we know where she's headed...

Well, I don't know anything for certain.

-Tell Lawson we're on our way. -Will do.

Lawson, Josh is heading back out to you.

-You don't like him, do you? -JOSH: I don't know him yet.

-He seems nice. -I'm not interested in 'nice'.

I wanna know if he's got my back...and yours.

Let's go.

(SIREN WAILS)

-It's the passenger, Nick. -(PHONE RINGS)

-Nick, it's Kerry. -NICK: Yeah, um, just wait a sec.

I've got a camera phone, OK? Just...just hang on.

Nick, it's important that you don't do anything

that will put your life in danger.

Do you see it, by the driver? That's fuel.

I thought these guys were hippies.

Oh, no, these people are just nuts.

Lawson, the guys have come prepared.

-Josh. -Yeah, about 10 seconds.

-(WOMAN SCREAMS) -MAN: Slow down.

How fast is he going?

(PHONE RINGS)

Ted, this is Lawson.

I'm starting to get a bit concerned about the speed of the bus.

Have you got my girls yet?

Look, right now I'm more worried about

the safety of all those on board.

Bring me my girls.

Ted...

STELLA: Jesus, did you ask for that?

No.

Move that roadblock.

-Just keep going. -(PASSENGERS SCREAM)

Shut up!

Shut up!

(TYRES SQUEAL)

LEON: He's heading back to the property, Lawson.

LAWSON: (OVER RADIO) Alright, we need to block that entrance.

I don't want him getting back on his own turf.

Sheree Holston has been picked up by the uniforms at the airport.

They're taking her to the site, so I'll see you there.

Yeah, copy that.

Guys, if you can get the bus past Elevation Hill,

the road runs into bush, it's a dead end.

OK, Josh, you organise a GD to block the entrance

and then head down the dead end.

Yeah, copy that. Alright, let's go.

KERRY: You guys right with this now?

Yeah. Look at this.

-What are they doing? -Passing something.

I've gotta go and see the mother, yeah?

Yeah, you go. We've got this. (TYPES)

Come on, mate. Pull it across here.

Kerry, we've got Sheree Holston here.

KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Uh, right. Look, I'm on my way.

Could you get the uniforms onto her until I get there?

-If you'd just go up to the house. -I'm sorry about this.

Look, maybe I can help. Can I talk to Ted?

My senior officer is on her way.

-You can discuss that with her. -OK, thank you.

Can one of you guys run her up to the house, please?

Josh, it looks like she made her own way back.

-Kerry, Emily's here. -Oh, right.

Look, you stay on it, I'll have the uniforms keep her out of it.

LAWSON: OK, we're coming up on the property now.

TED: Shit. Go right.

Coming to you, Josh.

Copy that, Lawson. We're in position, standing by.

-(PASSENGERS EXCLAIM) -Sit down in your seat!

-It's alright. I've got him. -Sit down!

He's about to hit bush.

LAWSON: (OVER RADIO) OK, everyone hold position.

Hold position, OK? Stand by.

(ON PHONE) Karissa Mahoud, Youth Services.

Uh, g'day. It's Kerry Vincent here again, Karissa.

What's the go at your end?

We've completed our preliminary interviews with the girls.

Do I wanna know?

They've been talking about something called expression of faith,

some sort of ceremony.

They've been told it's a way to develop their spirituality.

Yeah? And what does it actually develop?

A lot of young girls doing things they really shouldn't be doing.

So, that's what Ted wants to hide, yeah?

No, they're run by his mother, Sheree Holston.

Right.

Seems Ted does his best to keep it all quiet for her,

makes the girls toe the line.

Look, Karissa, we're got a bit of a situation down at the property,

so I want you to keep this quiet for the moment, yeah?

We're placing the girls in emergency accommodation.

Alright, I'll get back to you.

TED: Alright, everybody get up.

-Stand up! -NICK: Hey, be careful of him.

You have way too much to say.

-I'm just trying to help you. -Shut up!

Alright, stand against the window.

Everybody, get up and stand against this side of the bus.

No gaps.

Make sure they see your faces.

(PASSENGERS SOB)

We'll disable that bus before he tries anything else.

You reckon you can get near it?

-JOSH: Yep. -OK.

Alright, Josh is gonna move in.

I want Elliot and Michael in covering sniper positions.

I'll go.

-Scratch that, Elliot. Hold position. -Yep.

-You good? -Yeah. It's his first week.

Alright, stand by.

OK, Josh, stand by.

OK, clear to move. Go.

(CAR APPROACHES)

Hey. Where are we at?

As soon as the vehicle is disabled, I'll initiate comms.

Right. It might be time to ramp things up a bit.

No, no, we've got him where we want him, OK?

-Any ideas? -Yeah, actually.

I think he's doing it to protect his mum.

Stand by.

Clear to move. Go.

Hold.

Move. Go.

Go, go.

(BUS ENGINE IDLES)

(ENGINE STOPS)

(WHISPERS) Lawson, it's clear. It's not going anywhere.

What's going on?

-OK, let's do this. You got this? -Yeah.

(PHONE RINGS)

Ted, now, as you're no doubt aware, the bus has been disabled.

That means you're not going anywhere.

Now, we know what's been going on.

-What? -We know you're not responsible.

-Shut up! -OK?

You're not responsible for what Sheree's been doing.

What did they say?

Look, so if you put the weapon down and release the passengers,

then we can start talking about...

Get Amanda.

Look, I can talk to my boss about you seeing her,

but first you have to put the weapon down and release the passengers...

I want her here. (DISCONNECTS CALL)

-What's he doing? -LEON: I have no idea.

Look at these.

Look at them. See?

These are our families.

-Just get back. -Alright.

But just have a look at them, see? It's OK, man. We get it.

See? Look, that's my wife and my sister.

Will you just get back against the window?

Alright. Look, my wife, Rebecca, she's a doctor.

And my sister, Cassie, she does graphic design.

Will you please just...please, just get back against the window?!

OK, man, I'm going back.

(PHONE RINGS)

-Ted. -I want to speak to her.

As I said, I can talk to my boss, and then we can talk...

I want Sheree.

Either you get me my mum or I start shooting people.

(PASSENGERS GASP AND EXCLAIM)

Could you step back towards the car, Mrs Holston?

Back towards the car, please.

How are ya?

Look, my negotiators have been trying to talk to your son all day.

-Well, he's very protective. -Yeah, of what exactly?

I offer a home to people no-one else will take in,

but not everyone agrees with my methods.

No.

No, Youth Services are investigating claims

of inappropriate sexual behaviour, as we speak.

-Oh, they're kids, they muck around. -Oh, come on.

Come on, we know you're involved.

Well, if he's dealing with that sort of attitude, I'm not surprised.

Alright, alright. Sorry. OK.

Look, we both want your son and everyone else in that bus

to go home safe tonight, yeah?

Yeah. But he's not gonna listen to you.

No, no, that's pretty clear. You made sure of that.

-MICHAEL: Yeah, Lawson. -LAWSON: (OVER RADIO) Yeah?

There's no way I can get a clear shot from here.

What about you, Shannon?

I've got a clear shot through the window,

but he's doing his best to block it off.

OK, Shannon, you stay put. Michael, you come in. Got it?

-Yep, got it. -Copy that.

SHEREE: Do you have a son?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Well, we could work together.

Is there anything that you can tell us,

anything at all that might affect...

If I ask him to stop, he will.

He's my son, Miss Vincent.

He'll do anything I ask.

KERRY: Lawson, this is Sheree Holston, this is Ted's mum.

-SHEREE: Hello. -LAWSON: Hello.

Sheree believes she can make Ted walk off the bus.

Right.

If you wouldn't mind just taking a seat for the moment.

-Are you sure? -No. No.

But I reckon that kid is never gonna do what you want him to do.

Look, he's all over the place, alright?

He doesn't know what he wants.

He may talk to her and then go and demand something else.

Look, she'll give him direction.

We've talked about what she's gonna say.

I'll coach her through it.

But, you know, your call.

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Sure. Fine. Alright.

You deal with her, I'll deal with the surrender plan, alright?

Stell.

Hey, Lawson, it could all turn to shit, alright,

so I want an emergency action plan.

Yeah, I'll do what I have to do, OK?

Miss Holston, do you wanna step out of the car? Thank you.

It's me.

JOSH: Get down. What are you doing?

I wanted to have a look.

-How did you get down here? -I came down the gully.

-What's happening? -You can't stay here.

-I'll go back. -No, no, no, wait.

Lawson, one of the girls from the house

has just turned up at my position - I'm gonna have to bring her in.

LAWSON: (OVER RADIO) OK, do it.

OK, when I say, we're gonna run from here straight down there.

You're gonna stay as low as you can and stay close to me.

-OK, Lawson, on your call. -Hold.

-Go. -Go, go, go, go.

KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Are we all hooked up, Leon?

Yep, standing by.

-Remember what we talked about? -Yes.

-Yep. Just stay calm, OK? -OK.

-(PHONE RINGS) -OK, Leon, patch her through.

-Right? -(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Ted?

TED: (ON PHONE) Mum?

-I need you to walk away. -What?

I want you to do as I say.

Is that...?

-That's Emily. -Ted?

-Where are they taking Emily? -Don't worry about that.

She's told them, hasn't she?

-We have not done anything wrong. -She's told them everything.

-Just tell him to walk off the bus. -Don't worry about the girls, Ted.

-(WHISPERS) Just settle him down. -We don't need them.

-They know now, Mum. -Well, they've got it wrong.

It's all over, Mum.

I love you.

-Cut him off. Leon, cut him off. -(DISCONNECTS CALL)

(GUNSHOT, PASSENGERS SCREAM)

-(GUNSHOT) -LAWSON: Go, go.

(GUNSHOTS, GLASS SHATTERS)

Drop your weapon! Police! Drop your weapon!

(GUNSHOT)

Police! Put it down!

WOMAN: Drop your weapon!

(SHOUTING)

-Elliot! -Weapon clear.

Hands behind your back.

How's day two travelling?

Is it always this full-on?

Oh, it depends.

-On what? -I haven't worked that out yet.

LAWSON: Alright, how are we travelling?

-There's still one unaccounted for. -No, no, no.

There's a body of an offender still on the bus.

No, it's a passenger.

Josh, looking for one more passenger.

JOSH: What?

JOSH: Lawson.

That's not a shotgun wound.

LEON: It's Nick.

(JACINTA TYPES)

Shit.

-(SIGHS) -Ah.

-Hello. -Oh. Mm-hm.

I got a special delivery today.

I knew you'd bloody swiped it. Thank you.

I did tell you I was a bitch.

-I think you're quite nice. -(LAUGHS)

Well, your bum's nice, anyway.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You OK?

Yeah, it's nothing.

Bullshit. What happened?

I got your, um, notebook fixed.

I know. I said thank you.

What else?

It's OK. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

(SOFTLY) Don't ever leave me.

What did you say?

I said don't ever leave me.
