LAWSON: Alright, let's go. Let's move it.

Yeah. I'm sending you digital maps of Baleen Island now.

Had any further contact with Constable Selwyn?

No. Nothing. He hit his distress signal three times, 20 minutes ago.

And then...then, nothing.

-What about the commanding officer? -Nah, can't get hold of him.

No-one's answering the phone at the police station.

Leon?

Still no luck accessing their security systems.

I can't do anything more from here. Get out there before the tide drops.

Alright, Audrey, looks like you're coming with us.

Thanks. Um...be careful with that one.

(ENGINE STARTS)

KERRY: Good luck out there.

Oi. Put that on.

Thanks.

-CHRISTIAN: Breakfast? -How can you eat that this early?

Nah, it's better than those rice crackers you love so much.

Yep.

Right, Josh, you're with me.

Michael and Stella, maintain covering positions.

-Audrey, you stay in the RIB. -Lawson, check the blood.

Officer down. He's got a pulse but it's faint.

-Let's get him out. -Alright.

Kerry, located Constable Selwyn.

LAWSON: Alright. He's got a small-calibre wound to the chest.

He's lost a lot of blood. We need to get him back to Melbourne ASAP.

KERRY: It's gonna take a while to get a boat to you.

Forget the boat, Kerry. We need the chopper.

Nah, I can't access the chopper.

Kerry, we've got a seriously wounded member here.

It's on a job with Search and Rescue, Lawson - no can do.

Alright. We're gonna move him. Put him on the RIB.

We're gonna send him on the RIB, Kerry.

OK. I'm gonna organise an ambo to meet him.

-We got an update on Sergeant Hayman? -No, nothing. Nothing.

How about some intel?

Leon's trying to get a friendly for you as we speak.

Alright. Alright. Copy that.

You take him back to Melbourne. The ambos will meet you at the dock.

That's it. Nice and easy.

Alright. Head into the main street. And locate the cop shop, the OIC.

This Sergeant Hayman, we're gonna secure his safety.

There's someone out there willing to shoot police officers.

Keep our eyes and ears open. Alright. Kit up and move out.

Audrey, take off your pack. We can share it round.

I'm fine.

She's fine.

-You fine? -Huh?

Just with your leg - you've been off for a while.

-Yeah, I'm fine, thanks, Michael. -Cool.

Alright, Stell, Michael, do a recon of the main street.

Just stay covert till we know what's going on.

Maybe they're all at church, like a dawn service.

So are you, like, threatened by Audrey?

-What? -Before - the thing with her pack.

I was trying to make her feel like part of the team.

You were making her feel like an accessory.

-You sure that's all this is about? -What else could it be, Michael?

You told me to go there.

(INCREDULOUSLY) I told you to go there, yep.

-You know what I mean - with Audrey. -You're such a romantic, aren't you?

When have you ever been interested in romance?

You don't get it, do you?

I have tried everything with you.

-There's a police station. -Stell...

Shut up.

Sure. OK. Again, whatever you want.

Left-hand side, Michael. Blue building.

Yeah. Nothing. Nothing at all.

Think our calls are actually getting through?

Oh, you think someone killed both of the local policemen

and then went around unplugging every phone?

What was that?

-What? Nothing. -That screen before.

No.

It...it's a competition.

You have to pick famous look-alikes for your squad.

I'm thinking Keira Knightley for Shannon.

Leon, we've got a seriously injured policeman and another one missing,

and you're cutting Shannon's head off?

-It's just a bit of fun. -Don't you think it's inappropriate?

Well, maybe you're reading too much into it...

Leon, have you got that friendly for Lawson yet?

Uh...no.

-Do you wanna do it? -Yep.

Who were you thinking of for me?

-Whole place is deserted. -What do you mean?

It's dead.

Police station's off to the right of the main drag.

Alright. Let's all move in.

Josh, Michael and Stella, come in from east. We'll come from the west.

Alright. No, Audrey, you stay where you are.

Isn't it better if I come with you?

No, no. We'll secure the area. We'll come back for you.

-You'll be fine. -Yeah.

Anything?

Oh, man.

It's like a Headless Horseman.

Clear.

-What the hell is that? -Pig nose.

Why would you put it in your rear-view?

-Protection. -From what?

-Truffles. -Ohhh.

Ah, there was a time when you would have found that quite funny.

Yeah, that's all behind us, isn't it?

We got a guy over there.

Stell, stay with the car. Michael, with me.

Alright, Christian, see if you can do something about that.

OK.

-(YELLS) Police! Don't move! -Police. Don't move.

Sergeant Hayman? Tactical Response.

Lawson.

Shit. Lawson.

Kerry, we got a body.

(YELLS) Police! Don't move!

Stop! Police!

-Watch... -(GRUNTS)

-(GRUNTS) Jesus. -Hands behind your back.

Covering.

(GRUNTS)

-(GROANS) -Where'd you get it?

-Come on. -(SOFT THUDDING)

Name?

(CHORTLES)

Aarggh! Easy!

-No, no. It's not Hayman, Kerry. -Who is it?

Well, a local most likely. No ID on him, though.

Blunt trauma to the head and he's been dead a couple of hours.

Right. What about the incident report?

Don't know. Can't find it yet. This place is a mess.

Hey, is there a psychiatric facility on the island?

LEON: (ON TWO-WAY RADIO) I'll check it out.

-What? Something weird's going on. -Just keep your head on, alright?

I don't want you freaking out Audrey with your sick fantasies.

Sit up. Look at me.

Leon, get a still of this guy. See if you can ID him.

-Where'd you get it? -Found it in the bushes.

-Get down. -It's a police-issue.

-Where were you last night? -At your mum's house.

Christian, need you to find us some wheels, mate.

No probs. Back soon.

Shannon, go have a look down the main drag,

see if you can find anyone that can tell us anything.

Audrey, welcome.

First things first, we need to find a logbook -

see if you could identify our friend over there.

Then, I need you to go through these computers

and also see if you can do something about this, um...security system.

Yep.

Yep.

Lawson, our dead guy is Lex Doulton arrested for drunk and disorderly.

Yeah. Anything else?

The officer on duty at the time was Selwyn.

Give us a look.

The guy with the gun is Nathaniel Doulton.

He's the dead guy's brother.

Hey, Josh. Has he mentioned anything to you about a brother?

(QUIETLY) Nup. Nothing. I don't think he knows.

OK. Good. Let's keep it that way.

Lawson, Doulton and his mates got done for cruelty to animals

about eight years ago -

they shot at baby seals on a nature reserve.

Massacred the herd.

Their defence argued that it was...uh...it was their heritage.

Animal cruelty is a birthright?

Well, their families were whalers.

The whole town lived off the blubber business.

Please. It's just evil.

No. It's just boredom, Audrey.

Really?

'Cause I can get a little antsy, you know, sometimes too,

but you don't see me strangling kittens, do ya?

Uh...no, I suppose not.

Leon, can we get an address for these blokes?

-May just lead us to Hayman. -Yep.

Alright, Audrey, I've fixed the lock, so the bolt slides now.

Have you got your side-arm?

Well, yeah, but, um... I haven't used it since the academy.

-But you know how to. -Yes.

OK. Good.

Lock the door behind me.

Ooh!

How do you suppose Joan sells anything if she's shut?

Well, that's the beauty of having no competitors -

you could open when you like.

-I couldn't live in a small town. -Yeah - like a fishbowl, eh?

-The isolation would kill me. -Only if you're on your own.

A woman and isolation - even worse.

-(SCOFFS) -(CAR APPROACHES)

(TYRES SCREECH)

(TYRES SCREECH)

(CHUCKLES)

Jump in.

-Are you serious? -I learnt to drive in one of these.

Josh, we're gonna head out to the Hayman property.

JOSH: Oi, pull over.

Jesus, is that a real mink coat?

STELLA: All dressed up, nowhere to go.

-Hello, madam. -Good morning.

-Ms Edie Hobbs. -Sergeant Joshua.

There's been an incident. Can we take you home?

I am at home, young man. Uh...what kind of incident?

A police officer was shot - Constable Selwyn.

-Have you seen Sergeant Hayman? -No.

But those miscreants came tearing past last night

in that truck of theirs.

What time do you think that was?

Quarter to four. They had a big light on.

Right.

I think they moved the postbox.

Are you sure it's on this road? You're not confused?

I'm not confused. I've lived on the island all my life.

Right. Seems like it's moved.

Would you like me to post your letter for you?

-He's been gone a long time. -He has my heart.

Well, best if you wait inside until we sort this all out, OK?

Poor thing.

She's waited her whole life for him to come home.

And it sent her mad.

-SHANNON: (YELLS) Hey! -LAWSON: Hey. Hey!

-Stop. -Sergeant Hayman?

Lawson Blake, Tactical Response.

I gotta get home. They're after my daughter and my wife.

Take a seat, mate. Take a seat, then we'll clean you up.

Where's the med kit? Right. We've located the OIC.

Do you wanna tell me what happened?

Tommy rang me - my junior constable. Tommy Selwyn.

I was off-duty and he said the boys had been in a fight and then...

-Which boys are they? -Uh...some local boys.

There'd been a fight down the pub and he'd taken one in.

When they came back to the station, and started smashing it up.

-I got down there as soon as I could. -What time was that?

About fourish. They were trying to bust Lex out.

I got on the radio for help

and then they turned on me and then bashed me.

Well, where was Selwyn, then?

I don't know. I got the hell out of there.

-Is Tommy alright? -Not really. He's been shot.

-He's in a bad way. -What?

-What about the body at the station? -What body?

Lex Doulton, he's dead.

-I gotta find Rachel and my daughter. -Righto, but we don't have many...

Nah, nah. I've been ringing them - there's been no response.

Jump in. Jump in. Alright, Kerry, keep trying Rachel Hayman's mobile.

OK? We're on our way.

(ENGINE STRUGGLES)

(ENGINE STOPS)

Pop the hood.

-STELLA: We got fuel. -It's got fuel?

Yeah.

Hey, Lawson, the Falcon's died. I'm gonna try and fix it.

We're heading out to Hayman's now.

The wife and child may have been targeted.

Get out there when you can.

(SIZZLING)

(DULL SQUEAKING)

(DULL SQUEAKING)

-(PHONE RINGS) -(DULL SQUEAKING CONTINUES)

(PHONE RINGS)

-(WHISPERS) Hey, it's me. -(WHISPERS) Hey. Hi, me. What's up?

The corpse, it's, uh...it's making weird noises.

It's probably just gas leaving the body.

-Why are you whispering? -I don't know. I don't know. I'm...

He's starting to smell. Do you reckon I could spray it?

-JOSH: Michael. -Uh...er...it's a crime scene.

But you could spray yourself -

that could take care of any kind of wafting decomposition.

Thanks.

-I gotta go. You alright? -Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

-Are you good? -Yeah.

OK. See you later.

Yeah. Bye.

(DULL SQUEAKING)

Leon, I hate to point this out to you,

but Audrey, she's out there, she's operational,

she's doing a bloody fine job.

Doesn't the word 'redundant' mean anything to you?

That's a bit harsh, Kerry.

Fact. Fact, Leon.

Wanna get on to homicide? They need to get out there.

Sure.

Just bring it back behind the car. Get back from the car.

You got any weapons inside the house?

There's a .32 in the bedroom cupboard.

-We're gonna need you to stay here. -Mate, it's my house.

I understand. I'm gonna need you to stay here...please.

(SIGHS) Alright.

(SIGHS)

Make sure he stays put, OK?

Don't need him walking in there, finding his dead wife and daughter.

Splattered all over the carpet? Go.

CHRISTIAN: Hey. Whoa. Whoa.

Clear.

Clear.

Yeah, clear.

No, it's cold.

Christian, bring him in.

-(YELLS) Mary. -Not here, mate.

Hey, they're gone.

Alright. The wife and the child are missing.

Hayman reckons this bloke and his crew are in on it.

Well, he's not saying a word.

-Where are your mates? -Piss off.

Talkative, isn't he? Do you reckon he shot Selwyn?

Well, we found him with a police revolver on him.

Rachel and Mary.

Has he got any idea where they might be?

He said the boys sometimes hang out with their uncle -

he's got a house on the other side of the island.

Alright. Michael.

When you to take Hayman and Nat back to the station. Lock that up.

Yeah. Sure.

Alright. Let's head out to the this uncle's property. OK?

Alright.

-SHANNON: What's that smell? -Yeah, it's rancid.

It's like stale blood.

Leon, any chance of getting building plans for this property?

LEON: Nah, zero, mate.

(ENGINE SPLUTTERS)

-LAWSON: Michael, how you going? -Broken down again, Lawson.

Alright. Quick as you can. We need you back here.

Yeah. We're doing our best.

Alright, Josh and Christian, head to the rear of the house.

Stella, check out these outbuildings here.

Lawson, I found the smell - I think they're into curing their meat.

They have everything they need in there to dismember a body.

Look - put it through the mincer, feed it to the pigs, gone forever.

What pigs?

True.

Your imagination is way too fertile today.

What? Sorry. The place is weird.

Don't go all emo on me.

OK. We've got a female child and an adult male.

I'd say he's in his 50s.

-That sounds like the uncle. -He's got a shotty.

-Does the kid fit? -Yeah. Dead ringer.

I reckon we can get her out without disturbing the bloke.

Alright. Do it.

(WHISPERS) Hey, Mary. Hey.

My name's Christian. Your daddy's sent me to come get you.

(GRUNTS)

Are you checking out the bugs?

Hey...

..do you like chocolate?

You can have this one if you want.

There you go.

Now, I'm gonna need you to come with me. Yep.

Let's go. Just gonna go out this gate.

HAYMAN: I think there's water in the distributor.

-Oh, well, let's just walk him in. -It's too far, mate.

Just give us a sec.

Lawson, we're gonna be a little longer here.

(WHISPERS) Hey, Mary. My name's Lawson.

Can you tell me if your mum's inside the house?

Mary, it's really important

I find out whether Mum's inside the house or not.

Hey, cutie, where's Mum?

She's with the boys.

How many boys are there? One or two?

Do you know their names? What are their names, Mary?

Mr Joe, Mr Mike, Uncle Gav.

How's Mum? Is she alright?

She's having a lie down.

Just hang here.

Stell, stay here with Mary. I don't want her seeing any of this.

Right, I want them exiting out the rear entrance, OK?

Let's go.

Go, go, go, Shan! Go, go!

Police! On the ground!

Get down on the ground! Down now!

-Get down on the ground! -(COUGHS)

Hands behind your back!

Get your hands behind your back now!

-Do not move! Do not move! -(COUGHS)

(COUGHS)

Listen to me, Rachel.

Constable Selwyn was shot and we reckon one of these boys...

No. No, they wouldn't shoot a cop.

Can you wait here for us?

Do you reckon she's doing one of them?

-Why would you? -(LAUGHS)

She says she was here of her own accord.

What?

-She dumped the hubby yesterday. -Oh, great.

Her and the posse went to the pub last night and had some drinks

and then they all came back here.

-She know about the guy in the cell? -Yep.

They heard he was pulled in by the cops and all the boys went down.

And trashed the place.

She reckons they know nothing about the shooting.

Yeah. That's what they're saying as well.

Alright, everyone back to town.

Audrey.

-I'm just fixing the tape, Lawson. -Righto. Quick as you can.

Michael.

Michael?

Michael, are you there, mate?

What's going on?

I'm not getting a response from Michael.

This is his lapel cam.

Michael?

Lawson?

Oh, God.

-Get the medikit! -Michael?

-Michael, can you hear us? -Michael, hey.

-Give us that medical kit. -Michael.

Get a medikit!

He's breathing.

Same - pulse. Medikit. Bandages.

Oh, God.

Bandages. I need bandages.

Josh.

We can't move him with that sticking out like that.

We're going to have to trim it.

Kerry, he's in a really bad way. We're going to move him.

Can I go see him?

Look, maybe it's best if you stayed here.

Lawson, still no chopper

but the RIB's on its way back to the island with the detectives.

About 30 minutes off.

Leon, Michael doesn't have 30 minutes.

Look, it's the best we can do.

Just tell them to bloody hurry up.

You got any idea who did this?

I don't know. He was with Hayman and Nat.

Something must've happened on the way to the station.

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

God.

Here I am calling you about your...

Audrey, you need to get out of my face.

-GET OUT OF MY FACE! -Hey, hey.

-Stella... -Get out of here.

Just back inside the station, OK?

Look, Michael's on the clock, alright?

Christian, get the boltcutters. Shan, get the stretcher.

Move, move, move!

(PRISONERS YELL AND CHATTER MENACINGLY)

None of the CCTV cameras in this place are working, alright?

So be quiet.

Slow down!

Yeah, I'm doing the best I can.

Leon, where's that RIB?

LEON: (ON TWO-WAY RADIO) Yeah, it's still a while off, Josh.

Got a spear gun.

Leon, we've located Nat's Falcon.

Does he own one of these boatsheds?

Yeah. The one in the middle. Yellow roof.

Lawson, there's inconsistencies with this timeline.

LAWSON: (ON TWO-WAY RADIO) Yeah, like what?

When the boys arrive at the police station, Lex is alive.

-Well, how did he die? -I haven't got that far yet.

OK, thanks.

Hey, is everything going to be alright?

Don't know, Audrey.

Let's just stay focused, eh?

Shit!

Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

What happened out there?

Uh...we were driving the car back to the station,

the car broke down, Michael and I were under the bonnet

and Nat grabbed the spear gun.

How did he have a spear gun?

They pulled down the seat and got it out of the boot.

We really need to move Michael, alright?

-I got a boat. I can transport him. -OK. Good.

-OK, I'll come with you. -That's OK.

Let's keep moving, Christian.

This way?

Lawson, we gotta hurry. He's got a river coming out of him.

Just get back here.

You happy now? My leg's started to cramp.

If you don't pull through, Sandrelli,

I'm going to shoot you myself.

It's reverse psychology. He'd do it to me.

You get lonely out here on your own?

I'm not on my own.

So were you and Rachel having problems?

No.

What, did she tell you that?

No. She just mentioned that, you know, work was getting to you.

I think she means her, not me.

Lawson, it was Hayman who assaulted Lex, not Selwyn.

How seriously?

Serious.

-What, enough to kill him? -Yep.

Look, they've moved into the office, they're yelling at each other.

Hayman's pulled his weapon.

-Hayman shot Selwyn. -Are you sure about that?

Yep. Yep. Hayman shot Selwyn. He shot his own man.

Shannon, you copy that?

Shannon, you alright?

What's going on?

(ENGINE STUTTERS AND ELECTRONICS BEEP)

Look, Sergeant, it was an accident, alright?

This whole thing's a mess.

I mean, I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

OK. Calm down.

Keep your hands in the air and take a step back for me.

I can't go in.

You know that.

Just let me explain, please?

-Please? -OK.

-Tell me...slowly. -Alright.

Alright, one of those guys - Lex - well, he was seeing Rachel.

They were having an affair and they...

You shot your junior constable.

What?

You shot your junior constable.

-No, no. I didn't mean to shoot him. -Take a step back for me.

-Yeah, no, no... -Back!

(GROANS)

Shannon, you alright? What's going on?

Hayman.

-Lawson, Hayman... -Yeah, yeah, we know.

-Can he hear you? -The engine's cut out.

Alright, alright. Just stay calm.

I'm calm!

Just secure Hayman and get back here.

(ELECTRONICS BEEP)

Lawson, Nat's turned his mobile on. He's on the jetty.

-Police! Do not move! -Do not move!

Get your hands up where I can see them!

-Alright. Don't shoot! -Get them up!

Don't shoot. I haven't done anything.

Shut up! Get them up in the air. Come here!

Turn around.

-I haven't done anything. -Shut your mouth!

Covering.

(CAR APPROACHES)

You know, I reckon I figured it out.

It's this job, right, it's all about fear, yeah?

Every day, all day, we're exposed to all this crap - fear, terror.

You know, we see blood, we see ugliness,

but after a while we just stop feeling anything, right?

Michael?

Hey...you've been listening to me talk shit this whole time.

(WEAKLY) Kiss me.

-What? -Kiss me.

I'm not going to kiss you. You got a spear poking out of your guts.

You're OK.

(ENGINE STUTTERS)

It's not working.

It's not even hissing at me. Stupid machine.

-Take a breath. -It hates me.

It's a machine. It doesn't hate you. It doesn't hate anything.

It's a piece of shit, Josh.

(ENGINE STUTTERS)

Sounds like the outboards aren't getting any fuel.

There should be a fuel line with a small pump attached to it.

You see it?

-Like a bulb-sort-of-shaped thing? -Yeah.

Alright, you need to squeeze that.

Don't squeeze it too hard, otherwise you'll flood it.

(ENGINE STUTTERS)

It's not working.

Shannon, get that fucking boat started or we're leaving you.

Do you always have to be a prick, Lawson?

-(ENGINE STUTTERS) -That's it, mate. Leave her.

Just leave her.

Alright. Copy that.

(ENGINE STARTS)

I'm coming.

Well, hurry up, then.

Lawson, I took...

JOSH: He's alright.

Alright. I'll see you a bit later.

Love you.

KERRY: So you're finished?

Yeah. I'm going for third place. You're my dodgy pick.

-You're going for third? -Mm-hm.

Oh, that is so telling.

No, no, no. Hang on. First prize is a trip to Vanuatu.

Can you really imagine me on a beach?

-Second? -Gym membership.

-(LAUGHS) -It's not THAT funny.

-I mean, I could actually buff up... -No, you couldn't. You couldn't.

-And third? -Dinner for 10 at the Lobster Cave.

Everyone could come.

You know, Leon, I know why you do this stupid shit, I really do.

Why?

Well, you're stuck there, you're watching it all go down

and you worry about them.

So you do it to distract yourself.

I do it to distract you, Kerry, not me.

Lawson.

LAWSON: (ON TWO-WAY RADIO) Yeah.

We got reports of a shooting in the city.

-Are you serious? -Yeah. Sorry, mate.

-Alright. We're on it. -I'll send you through the details.

Stell, you're up.

(MOUTHS)

-Alright, you're with me. -I know.

Hey, Audrey...

Yeah.

..you have to go with him.

OK.

Alright, let's go.

(SCOFFS) What are you smiling at?
