(MONITORS BEEP)

MAN: Go for it, mate.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Pleasure doing business with ya.

-(LAUGHS) -Where are you going?

-We play again, arsehole. -I don't think so.

I think so.

I have to tell you something. She's a cop.

So let's call it a draw?

Can you put the gun away?

It's OK, it's OK.

(MEN LAUGH)

-Hey, girls! -MAN 2: Yeah!

Give it to her.

How is he?

Uh, he's out of theatre.

He's back in intensive care.

That's good, right?

Well, no-one's giving up hope yet.

Maybe the docs can work a miracle. It happens.

Can we see him?

Yeah, sure.

Josh.

Please don't blame yourself.

You weren't there.

OK, so you tell me what you think you could have done differently.

Gone in earlier.

Then there'd be two of you with your heads blown off.

I mean, I should have stopped the whole thing earlier.

Michael was out of his depth.

This isn't your fault.

(SIGHS)

Not everything has to be your fault.

Just go and see him.

He's your friend.

The speedboat passes in front of me, don't think anything of it.

I see the two guys walking, and something's not right.

They stop at the back of Liam's boat.

They fire two shots quickly.

And I'm running.

I get to the boat and I try to take a shot but they're gone.

Do I run further down the pier, try and get another shot

or do I tend to Michael?

I get on the boat...

..and it's bad.

I'm trying, it's like there's nothing I can do.

So who the hell are these pricks?

I'd never seen 'em before.

We leave the task force out of it.

This one's for us.

This was Michael's call, we have to remember that.

Like he was gonna say no.

Like he was in any position to shut this down

with the task force revved up behind him

and everyone into him to bring it home.

But it was still Michael's decision to close...

Too many agendas, Charlie.

Michael took a bullet because the suits were on your back

and you wanted a result.

Some of us are still answerable to the chain of command, Lawson.

That's an excuse to go in half-arsed?

It's something you don't understand.

Do you think that we haven't been through this?

What exactly did you expect us to do, huh?

Old Man Rainey's behind this drug deal that went wrong.

He was behind the drug deal that got Michael shot.

Liam Rainey's still out there, so why aren't we?

You know what? That's an operational decision for the Cicero Task Force.

Yeah, so you keep saying.

Look, do you know Col Rainey? Old Man Rainey?

They're going to be here in this hospital tomorrow, in-patients.

No, Col's in remand.

Col is donating a kidney to his old man.

-(SCOFFS) -The surgery's tomorrow.

-Are you serious? -The approval's come from the top.

So what I'm gonna task you to do is get Col Rainey from remand

and bring him here.

So you have one hour in the car by yourself.

Come on, mate.

You OK?

Sure.

What are we waiting for?

Who knows what's around the corner?

You know, it's Michael this time, could be us next.

-Anytime. -Yeah.

Life's short, Lawson.

There's no guarantees.

Let's get married and be done with it.

Let's just do something real for once.

Shannon...

-You know...forget about it. Joke. -No, no. No, no, no, no. Hey!

Don't you have a job to go to?

I'll take you to the hospital.

Thanks for this.

OK.

-(GROANS) Ooh. -(LAUGHS)

(GROANS)

You see, the thing is, with my old man,

it's about the legends, right?

You know, your Sinatras, your Presleys - you can't replace them.

Legends are given to us in trust.

Sorry to break it to you, Col, but your father's a scumbag.

See, I'd give everything I have and more

just to see my old man get another year or two.

But I don't expect shit-lovin' pigs like you to get that.

No, we get family, Col.

I mean, your brother, Liam, he's family, right?

You'd be concerned about HIS welfare.

Yeah, dragged off the back of his own boat

with a gun shoved in his face.

Yeah, what's that about? Raineys haven't got enemies, have they?

(SIGHS) You know what? Let's talk about the two of you.

You're far more interesting.

Have you given her one in the line of duty, have you, Officer?

Thrown her over the table at headquarters, maybe?

(LAUGHS) I reckon you'd go off like a banshee, sister.

(MOANS)

Is your baby brother one of the family like you, Col?

Strange thing is, he's been looking to cut a deal.

Immunity from prosecution, and he was grabbing it with both hands.

Is that what the crap on the boat was about?

Shutting him up?

Oh, Jesus, look at the car next to us!

They've got a gun! This might be my escape opportunity! (LAUGHS)

Only joking.

Not today, sunshine.

Today I'm about my father's business.

CHRISTIAN: So, why are we staking out a lawyer?

Crombie's the Raineys' lawyer.

He's their go-to guy when they've got shit to bury.

What's the plan?

Just back us up.

We'd like to ask you a few questions, Mr Crombie.

Settle down, you don't want to upset my colleague.

He's the disagreeable one. Isn't that right?

Right.

Where's your warrant to search,

your approved list of items you're in search of?

In the mail.

You're paying a serious amount of money to Cleo Temple.

Where's she fit with you and the Raineys?

Listen, mate, you've got 10 seconds to get out of my life.

Then I'm gonna put a call through to the Ethical Standards Division.

Alright, Col, you try anything smart, you get one to the kidneys. Got that?

Take it easy, will ya, mate? Precious cargo.

You want me to come in with you?

-Where will you be? -Working from home today.

You call anytime.

Bye.

(SIGHS)

(PHONE CHIMES)

Yeah, you're right, Josh.

Crombie's been depositing big dollars into Cleo Temple's account.

Seeing if I can source it back to the Raineys now.

-Thanks, Leon. -Stell!

-Hey, Charlie, can I have a word? -Yeah.

Question - anybody know when I might get a moment with the old man?

The procedure isn't without risk.

It's a reasonable request under the circumstances.

The guys that I saw on Liam's boat,

you know another murder isn't going to faze them at all.

Wouldn't want to be in Liam's shoes right now.

Our guy got a bullet in the head.

What do you think they're gonna do to your son?

You know these blokes. You know them.

Why are you protecting them?

You help us find them, you help us find Liam.

Either that, or you were looking to take him out yourself.

Which makes you even more of an arsehole than I ever thought.

Oh, you bloody old bastard.

Even in here leading the life of luxury.

Yeah, been wondering when you'd front up.

You right? I heard you got your flowers.

I asked Kelly to send you some roses.

Dad! Hey, get off me.

What are you gawking at?

Bit of privacy maybe, you know?

-Like that's gonna happen. -Lawson.

talk to me about Stella and Cleo Temple.

(SOFTLY) Shit.

Do you think he can hear us?

Maybe.

Do you think it helps?

Helps me.

(MONITOR BEEPS LOUDLY)

WOMAN: He's in VT. We need to clear the room.

-What's happening? Can you tell me... -Stell, Stell, Stell!

WOMAN: Charge for defib. You got the pads?

-Yep, right here. -OK, we'll go again.

Keep compressions going.

-Give him 1mg of epi by IV. -Stand clear.

Shock.

(WHIMPERS) No!

Charging. Stand clear.

Shock.

Stand clear. Shock.

(SOBS)

(STELLA SNIFFLES)

We need to talk about Cleo Temple.

-What? -Cleo, your little drug buddy.

-Whoa, wait, take it easy. -You shut it.

Is Michael still alive?

Stella, has Cleo ever mentioned anything

about having dealings with the Raineys?

Cleo? No, of course not.

The Raineys' lawyer, Jeff Crombie,

is putting money into Cleo's bank account every week.

What?!

The Raineys know who shot Michael but they're not talking

so we need to find out where Cleo sits with this.

OK, so you think Cleo had something to do with Michael getting shot?

We don't know anything until we speak to Cleo

and find out what she's being paid for.

We need to move fast, and we need you in on it.

I know where she'll be.

(SNIFFLES)

Here's the thing - Crombie's office is paying the rent on her apartment

and depositing 12 grand into her cheque account every month.

That adds up.

OK, thanks, Leon.

(RINGING TONE)

You should have this.

Officially I'm still pissed.

Cleo, it's me. I need to see you.

No, I'm fine. I'll be there in five.

You're doing the right thing, Stell.

It's Michael?

Why are the Raineys putting 12K a month into your bank account

and paying the rent on this place?

What do you have to do to deserve that?

(LAUGHS)

What is this?

Should I have my lawyer present?

Jeff Crombie? Right, now stop right there.

What hat are you wearing?

The Raineys were the money behind the drug importation

when Michael got shot.

There's a straight-line trail from the Raineys to you.

What's the story? What are they paying you for?

If you think I've done something shonky...then arrest me.

If I haven't, then take your cockblock and get out of my face.

The hospital's saying Michael's gonna die.

I need to know why that had to happen

and what it's got to do with you.

I have nothing to say.

COL: "It is a far better thing that I do

"than I have ever done.

"It is a far, far better rest that I go to

"than I have ever known."

(SCOFFS) Dickhead.

MAN: Has someone pre-medded the recipient?

-WOMAN: I'll get onto that. -We all set?

-(WOMAN SCREAMS) -(CRASH!)

Someone get the police in here!

Shots fired! Shots fired! Where? Where?

-Mr Rainey. -Col Rainey's down.

-We're in pursuit of the gunman. -Keep clear! Police! Keep clear!

Police!

We're in the surgical wing, level four.

Gunman could be going after the old man, as well.

Christian, cover Old Man Rainey's room.

This guy could be after the whole family.

Police! Get out of the way! Yeah, copy that. Onto it.

WOMAN: (OVER PA) Attention, all staff. Code black.

Operating theatre suite.

Attention, all staff. Code black.

Operating theatre suite.

Repeat - code black.

Leon, I need help. This place is a maze.

Yeah, tell me about it. Where do I start?

We have an armed gunman in the surgical wing at St Mary's.

The hospital is in lockdown. Repeat, the hospital is in lockdown.

Doug Rainey's OK.

HEY! Contact! Offender in surgical scrubs heading north towards ICU!

Shannon, bring TR-1 round to rear car park.

Copy that.

I've got him. He's headed towards the rear car park.

Right, I want uniforms in that car park. Give me everything you've got.

The nearest units are three minutes away and closing.

SHANNON: Lawson, I'm nearly there.

(SIREN WAILS)

MAN: (ON RADIO) All units, shots fired, St Mary's.

Offender last seen exiting hospital south exit.

All units, repeat, shots fired.

The hospital's in lockdown.

Suspect is in a burgundy Daihatsu four-wheel drive.

LAWSON: Josh, we're on Spring Street. He's just turned into Montague Lane.

JOSH: Lawson, we're five away.

Right, we're on his tail.

We're on Bell Street, approaching from the north.

OK, copy that. Keep heading our way, we'll cut this guy off.

Right, he's gone into Davies.

Yeah, we're right near there. We'll come down Simpson and block him.

Copy that. We're right on him. How far are you?

Coming from the other side.

Coming to you, Lawson.

He's turning. Turn, turn.

-Go, go, go! -Suspect is on foot.

-They're splitting up! -Stell, take that one.

Stop! Police!

(MAN WHIMPERS)

What? Go on.

What will I do? Throw stones at you?

-Come on. -Police! Put down your weapon!

-(MUTTERS) -Put it down.

-(MOANS) -Put it down!

Please help me.

-You right, Stell? -Yeah.

Help me. Help me.

There's something wrong with this man.

I'm calling in the ambos.

(COUGHS)

LAWSON: Stop! Police!

Alright, he's going into a backyard.

Stop! Police!

-BOY: Mum? -(WOMAN SCREAMS)

Stop!

Romeo Juliet Bravo 448.

Black Volkswagen Golf, near the corner of Clifton and Argyle.

Suspect is no longer on foot, Leon.

LEON: OK, Yuri Grinko.

Dual citizen of Australia and Russia.

Salesman, allegedly.

His passport's almost certainly false.

Interpol have issued a movement order

under the name of Andrei Timoshenko,

and, surprise, surprise, Yuri's the match.

What's Interpol's interest in him?

Major drug connections in Russia and across Eastern Europe.

Also wanted for questioning in Poland

in relation to an unsolved double murder.

-There's more if you want more. -Nah, thanks.

Car's registered to Gregor Artenyo.

Russian born, but he's been here for 10 years. Owns a restaurant.

So he takes his family car out on a hit?

What is he? An idiot?

Shannon and Christian will go to the hospital.

How did we get Russians in this?

Given Grinko's history, I'm guessing that because heat's on him in Europe,

he's trying to get a foothold in the Aussie drug market.

Hustle in on the Raineys, kill 'em off if he has to.

So it's Yuri Grinko that Michael got in the way of?

It was Yuri I saw on Liam's boat.

How did we not know about these guys?

Col died in the theatre without regaining consciousness.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, right.

Works well for you. It's one less matter you have to take to trial.

They were after you, too.

If you put value on your life,

I'd be telling everything you know about them.

Right, this is the situation. OK, we've got Yuri Grinko.

He's cashed up, he wants to muscle in on your territory,

but...but you're a stubborn bastard, aren't you?

You're gonna fight.

Do you really think that you can mess with these guys?

They killed your son Colin, they shot one of my officers,

they want to kill you, they've probably already done for Liam.

They're picking off your family one by one,

and for the sake of some rat-arsed drug operation

you wanna offer up the lives of your sons.

Are you that sort of hero, really?

You wanna do something really useful?

Put some more guards on my door.

Let me put it this way -

I need one good answer from you to let me know

that you weren't in any way involved with Michael's shooting.

What, so my word isn't good enough?

The Raineys are putting 12 grand a month into your account.

There's something toxic going on

between the Raineys and these Russian dudes

and I'm thinking you're standing right in the middle of it.

I'm handing you a lifeline, Cleo.

And you sure as hell better take it.

It's...

It's not the Raineys who are paying me.

-It's the Russians, Yuri Grinko. -To do what?

Just to let him know when things started to get hot.

So you and me,

that's only ever been about staying close 'cause I'm a cop

and you need information.

-I swear that never happened. -Yeah, but it coulda done.

-That was the point, right? -What do you want me to do?

Contact Yuri and tell him to meet you.

Stella, he scares the crap out of me.

Tough shit, Cleo.

(SIGHS)

(MONITOR BEEPS)

(WHISPERS) Michael.

Michael, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I should never have sent you.

Michael's no longer able to breathe for himself.

The ventilator's the only thing keeping him alive.

Thanks.

Oh, shit.

CHRISTIAN: So, what's wrong with him?

The doctor's saying that he has radiation sickness.

-Almost done. -OK, we're good this end.

Yeah, we've put out a general alert -

airport, car rentals, Southern Cross Station -

Yuri's face is everywhere.

OK, Cleo, we need you to call Yuri and ask for a meeting.

We'll be bugging your phone, too. I'll be listening in.

Shannon and Christian are on their way back.

We'll hold here until they're in position.

OK. Now, Cleo, Yuri's not dumb.

More than likely, he'll ask to sight you before the meeting.

-Then what? -We'll be there.

It's not gonna work if he sees I'm in a huddle with half a dozen cops.

Just get him to the meeting, we'll do the rest.

I'll be in here with you. The guys will be outside.

You won't get hurt. We won't let that happen.

Alright, we're on approach, guys. Where do you want us?

Hang a left, just tuck yourself into the laneway there.

What's the story with Gregor?

Oh, well, you wanna know something weird?

Doctor's best guess, he's got radiation sickness.

What, he's from Chernobyl now?

-You make sense of that? -Nup.

Alright, give us a moment to get into position, then make the call.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Well, this is shit.

Alright, we're set.

Let's make the call.

(DIALS NUMBER)

(RINGING TONE)

WOMAN: (ON ANSWERING MACHINE) Please leave a message after the tone.

-(BEEP!) -Yuri, it's Cleo.

Just call me as soon as you get this.

It's urgent. We need to talk.

Good. Now we wait.

Here.

Michael's parents.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello.

-Can you talk? -Not really.

You sound sad.

Yeah, I am sad.

Have you heard the latest?

Michael's on life support. They're speaking to his parents.

Yep, but no.

Still hoping, hey?

More than hoping.

Everything crossed.

You were in love with Michael, weren't you?

Shh!

-Hey. -(SOFTLY) Cameras.

-Can you just say something? -Cameras.

(PHONE RINGS)

-Yuri. -YURI: What do you want?

Yuri, we shouldn't talk on the phone.

I know where you are, you're in your apartment.

That's right.

Leave your apartment, bring your phone,

get to Flinders Street Station.

Where will I meet you?

I'll text directions once I know you're alone.

Bugger this, just tell me where you want to meet.

(CALL DISCONNECTS)

LEON: Sorry, guys.

Let's just hold position, get him to call back. See if he breaks cover.

-Did you get that, Stell? -Copy.

Let's get this over and done with.

Cleo...

..don't do it for me.

Who else am I doing it for?

(RINGING TONE)

-YURI: Yes? -Yuri...here I am.

Where now?

Yuri, I'm not sure I'm getting what you're wanting me to do here.

Keep walking towards the square.

Hey, I need a coffee. Why don't we just find somewhere we can talk?

I'm watching you, Cleo. Don't shaft me. It won't end well.

-(CALL DISCONNECTS) -Yuri.

Ah, Yuri's smart.

Brief phone calls, then he changes phones, changes locations.

Josh, just holding you in reserve in case he puts her in a car.

JOSH: Copy that.

We're here, brother.

(RINGING TONE)

LEON: He's back.

-Yuri. -I'm watching you, Cleo.

Come on, come on.

Don't stuff me around. It won't end well.

Come on, Yuri. What's the problem?

Don't you wanna hear what I have to say? Don't you trust me?

You shouldn't trust me.

You won't like what will happen if I find out you're lying to me.

-What's all the secrecy about? -You are not paid to ask questions.

I thought we had a close working relationship.

Just know - if you betray me, I will shoot you dead in the street.

Lawson, did you get that? I'm getting edgy.

That was a threat to kill, we need to pull her out.

LAWSON: Charlie?

Charlie, he's threatening to kill her, we need to end it.

CHARLIE: Just hold.

YURI: Stop right there. Don't move.

Alright, I've got a fix on Yuri's mobile, 30m ahead,

near the river somewhere.

Walk straight ahead.

Come on, come on.

Open the rubbish bin.

Charlie, this is the guy that shot Col Rainey and Michael.

CHARLIE: Hold your position.

Inside the door is a key to a safety deposit box.

There's cash and a passport. I need you to buy me an airline ticket.

OK, I've got him.

10 o'clock from you down the stairs on the Riverside Walk.

He's wearing an orange safety jacket.

-STELLA: Cleo! -YURI: Cleo!

-Cleo, go! -Cleo!

LAWSON: Stop! Police!

Josh, he's heading your way.

-(TYRES SQUEAL) -(GRUNTS)

Police! Stay down!

Turn around, face down now!

Face on the ground now! Hands on your head!

Weapon. Hands behind your back.

Weapon clear.

LAWSON: Charlie, we got him.

So, what happens now?

Are you coming home?

Nah.

They're doing scans.

It's procedure.

It's to confirm that Michael is clinically brain dead.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

Michael's parents have given their permission

to turn off his life support.

No-one's actually thinking of doing that, though, are they?

He was gone from the moment they shot him.

But his spirit...

Well, there's still something inside him, isn't there?

If it's over, they should do it.

Stella, Michael's parents have asked if you'd like to be part of this.

What are you doing here?

I thought you might like someone to sit with.

(MONITOR BEEPS)

It's OK, Michael.

It's OK.
