Original subtitles

You know...you can make this a lot easier for yourself.

(RUSSIAN ACCENT) Easier?

Tell us where the bomb is.

I told you before...

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

You know...

KERRY: (ON RECORDING) ..there are a lot of countries

that are very interested in you.

He doesn't look like a guy who's about to go away for a long time.

Countries with...

Well, he's not getting off on a technicality,

if that's what he thinks.

If you want to stay here, then you work with me.

You've got a great mouth.

That's the last female mouth you'll see up this close in a long time.

JOSH: Kerry, we're at that address. How's the warrant going?

LEON: Kerry's not here but the warrant is, not that you'll need it.

George Rogers aka Victor Morentsov aka the Cuckoo is in custody,

about to attend his own committal hearing.

-You're back, Leon? -Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Don't tell Kerry but I refuse to accept my termination.

Can you even do that?

When the letter isn't formatted correctly, you can,

or so the union tells me.

Ah!

Warrant? Signed and sealed.

Alright, thanks.

Hello? This is the police.

Hello? This is the police!

-Right, let's have a look around. -Yep.

-It's clear. -Cool.

(CLATTERING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

Hey!

Hands up!

Get down on the ground, face down, hands behind your back!

It's Katya, right?

Katya?

-So, what's going on? -I can't.

You got a weapon?

I would have used it if I had one.

What are you doing here?

I need a cigarette!

-Shit! -Katya, what's going on?

Everyone's freaking out since the Cuckoo's been arrested.

Lots of paranoia, lots of finger-pointing.

No-one trusts anyone anymore.

Alright, well, let's get you somewhere safe.

No!

I'm trying to help you.

You're trying to help yourself.

Leon, send me a frame grab of Kenta Tomi to my phone, please.

Yeah, give me a moment.

On its way now.

Have you heard of the Shining Cloud cult?

No.

What can you tell me about this man?

-I've never seen him before. -His name is Kenta Tomi.

The Cuckoo said the bomb was meant for the 'Korean Magpie'.

Do you know where the bomb is?

KERRY: So, his counsel will argue that the arrest was illegal

'cause it was done on consular grounds.

But there's no way they're gonna let this guy go off on a technicality.

It'll be dealt with on a political level.

What does that mean - a pollie twisting the arm of a judge?

If you think the law's impartial, you have a chat to David Hicks.

CHARLIE: Look, I reckon you did everything right.

-You'll be fine. -(SIGHS)

I just love being cross-examined, you know?

Everything you say just gets twisted around.

It's like having a fight with your girlfriend.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yeah, Josh, what's up?

Do you know who Katya Bakhavlova works for yet?

Why?

-She was at the house. I've got her. -Well, arrest her. Bring her in.

-I thought we were told to lay off. -I can deal with that, Josh.

I need to know what she knows.

Let me tell you now, you get her into an interview room

and she won't give you a thing.

Well, has she given you anything?

Yeah, she reckons the Cuckoo talked a lot about the Korean Magpie.

Kenta Tomi's Korean.

The Korean Magpie. Right, OK.

And she reckons they've been moving the dirty bomb around

to avoid detection.

She gave me the address of a warehouse.

KERRY: Where is it?

Well, part of the deal is that I can't tell you that

until after I've checked it out.

Well, are you working for her or me?

Just let me have a look and get back to you.

OK.

OK, we're sorted.

-Let's go. -I'm not going.

You don't have to do this on your own.

I can handle myself.

I'd say the fact that you're here,

not at the bottom of the ocean, is the proof of that.

(PHONE RINGS)

You've got my number now.

Now, if anything happens, you give me a call.

OK?

Alright. I'll see ya. Let's go.

What part of 'fired' don't you understand?

I have rights, Kerry.

-Really? -Yeah, yeah.

Like the right to have my name spelt correctly on my termination letter.

Like the right for the date to be correct in the top right corner.

Like my right for counselling and review by Ethical Standards.

Is that all you got?

Um... Well, yeah.

Alright, thanks for drawing my attention to the errors.

I'll, um...I'll fix 'em and get 'em back to you in an hour.

Good luck today.

Yeah, thanks.

Since when are military intell facilities used as courtrooms?

Well, the powers that be thought we should keep this one private.

Is it legal?

The one and only Lawson Blake.

(BEEPING)

I don't hate anybody.

But I hate him.

JOSH: Alright, let's have a closer look.

-It's empty. -JOSH: Oi!

Hey, give me your phone!

Hey!

I'll get the car.

Oh! You prick!

-Did you lose him, Grandpa? -Shit.

-What? -He sent these on.

We've been made.

That's not gonna go well for your friend, Katya, is it?

Come on.

WOMAN: (ON RECORDING) The person you are calling is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Voicemail.

Kerry, no sign of any bomb or truck at the warehouse

but they had a watcher in place.

He got away but we got his phone.

Leon, can you run a check on this number I'm sending through.

I'll let you know when I get something.

Hey, Kerry, if they know we're onto them, Katya's in trouble.

-Do you know where she is? -I don't know.

And her phone's going straight to voicemail.

-Alright, well, keep me posted. -Copy that.

Let's have another look at the apartment.

Leon, you know that passport information on Katya

that I asked you to lose?

Hmm.

(HISSES)

I dunno.

I mean, you were very clear about me getting rid of that.

It sounded as if my job depended on it.

Leon, do you like your balls where they are?

(CHUCKLES) Kerry, there are three things

that you should never do in anger -

drive a car, have sex or...

..put it in writing.

-Leon! -OK, alright.

Yeah, I may still have it.

Alright, anything you can get on her.

Actually, Kerry, I may have accidentally stumbled...

..upon some other stuff

when I, uh, wasn't getting rid of the files

that you asked me to get rid of.

MAN: A litany of charges,

including attempt to engage in a terrorist act,

the possession of things in preparation for a terrorist act,

attempt to detonate an explosive device...

Also charged with conspiracy to murder

in the death of Senior Constable Michael Sandrelli.

WOMAN: Your Honour...

..no-one disputes the severity of these charges.

But my client was arrested illegally.

The police force of this country violated international law

and Australian law.

Article 31 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations

states that the premises of a consular agency are inviolate.

This footage from the consulate shows one of the arresting officers

holding a Glock semi-automatic.

Shit.

-They've got her. -It's OK.

They're gonna kill her.

Josh, we'll find her.

Josh, I reckon we put a KALOF out on her.

-Blow her cover for good? -We've got no other options.

Laundromat receipt.

OK.

Kerry, the house where Katya was has been trashed.

Can you get Forensics down here?

Senior Sergeant, you were the arresting officer?

Yes.

And were you aware of legislation

protecting the sovereignty of consular soil

when you made the arrest?

I was.

And you went ahead, nonetheless?

I made my intentions clear to consular staff,

that I intended to enter the property

with the purpose of arresting the accused...

..and no-one stopped me.

What did the consulate staff member actually say?

Well, nothing to me, but he instructed the two guards.

Do you know if he understood you?

Did the person in question speak English?

I assume so.

And what was his position at the consulate? Was he the Consul?

-I don't know. -Was he the gardener?

Well, if the gardener wears a suit and tie...possibly.

So, you asked someone who may or may not have had authority

to give you permission to enter the consulate grounds.

Receiving no reply, you entered the property...

-Trespassed, it could be argued. -Objection!

..and, subsequently, arrested my client.

-I didn't trespass. -So you believe.

Yes or no, Senior Sergeant -

is it possible to perform a legal arrest

whilst at the same time being in contravention

of Article 31 of the Vienna Convention.

I don't believe I was in contravention of Article 31.

Yes or no.

Well, hypothetically speaking...

Yes or no, Senior Sergeant?

No.

Thank you.

KERRY: Leon, this is all over the shop.

I mean, according to this, Katya Bakhavlova

could have been working for

the International Atomic Energy Association...

Yeah, scratch that. Too transparent to have a secret unit like hers.

Right. The Russian FSB?

Uh, possible, but is our government really gonna cooperate with theirs?

-Somehow, on that front... -Well, what's it doing in here?

Until I can discount them...

Well, you've really got no idea who she works for, have you?

No... No.

But I think I've got her cover organisation.

Look at the material on the Hard Roads Foundation.

I saw that. OK, Hard Roads Foundation.

They've got her registered as...as...

..a field engineer.

They're an NGO. They raise money to build roads in the Third World.

But, um, look where they do all their work.

Yeah, Pakistan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Eastern Russia...

Practically, like, the Silk Road of the illegal nuclear arms trade.

-So, this is her cover? -Yeah.

But who she's representing, well, you and I aren't gonna find that out

unless we get, like, ultra-high-level clearance.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

-Holy shit. -What?

The phone number Josh sent through...

-Yeah? -The phone's at the hearing.

Senior Sergeant, could you please walk me through the arrest?

Senior Sergeant Lewis and I...

(RUSSIAN ACCENT) We are sorry. There's been security breach.

Please, stay where you are until we clear the building.

-What's going on? -There's no need for alarm.

-(PHONE RINGS) -Yeah, Lawson?

GUARD: Sir, you need to end this call.

Two security guards in here, claiming a security breach.

-One has a very thick accent. -End this call.

-Now. -No need for the gun.

-It's going away. -Move!

Leon, get onto security at the facility. Find out what's going on.

-Charlie... -MAN: On your knees!

(STARTS ENGINE)

I said on your knees!

You know this is pointless?

Lawson didn't hang up. The line's still open.

-OK, thanks. -LAWSON: It's a secure building.

-You won't get outta here. -Shut up, Sergeant!

(SCREAMING)

(GUNSHOT)

You just hang in there, OK? I'll get you outta here.

Just breathe.

-That's it - breathe. -CUCKOO: Move!

Move!

This man obviously needs medical attention.

Senior Sergeant, I will kill you.

You keep pressure on that, OK?

What's one more dead body to you, eh?

(CHUCKLES)

Wow!

-(SIREN WAILS) -MAN: We're evacuating the building.

CHARLIE: Kerry, where are we at?

Well, no-one's come out of the courtroom.

I think it's a hostage situation, Charlie.

Leon, you got any vision in there?

The corridors, front foyer. That's it.

It looks like they've jacked into the main security

and they've locked off access to the areas directly around the court.

Alright, I'm gonna need a list of exactly who's in that court

and I want a phone line in there.

If these people have demands, I want to know exactly what they are.

-I'll do my best. -Christian?

Head around back, try to get line of sight.

Shannon, you're with me. We're going in.

-Is this building clear? -MAN: Yes, Senior Sergeant.

Show him the picture.

-(CUCKOO SPEAKS RUSSIAN) -(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Katya?

(BOTH CONTINUE SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(CUCKOO SHOUTS IN RUSSIAN)

Leon, is there any way through this door?

(TYPES)

Uh... No go. I'm locked out at this end.

Leon, patch Shannon's mobile through to the court phone.

-My phone? -You're going primary.

(PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE RINGING TONE)

Are you gonna answer that?

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

No.

You will.

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Senior Sergeant Lawson Blake.

Lawson?

Got an injured guard here. He's been shot in the shoulder.

-Just repeat what I say! -Why don't you speak for yourself?

We only want two things - very simple.

They've got two demands.

Helicopter with a pilot, delivered to the top of this building.

They want a chopper...

Five million in cash - U.S. dollars.

And five mill, U.S.

OK. You keep stalling them. Will they give us a hostage?

No hostages will be released until we get what we ask for.

We will not negotiate!

These three guys mean business, Shann. They won't...

-Ohh! -(WOMAN SCREAMS)

You've got 30 minutes to meet our demands.

-After that... -(GROANS)

..we will start killing hostages.

You try that again and you're dead!

(GRUNTS)

-Speak to me, Shannon... -Um...uh...uh...

There's three gunmen, guard shot

and there's a 30-minute demand.

Charlie, have you got any other intell?

CHARLIE: Stand by, Kerry. Christian, you got that line of sight?

Nah, but I might be able to get a mini-cam through a window.

-Do it. -KERRY: You want to make it fast?

'Cause we need eyes in there.

-Kerry, you want us at the court? -You found Katya?

No, not yet. I think her cover's blown.

-KERRY: Just stay on it, yeah? -What's the word on Lawson?

I'll call you if I need you.

You just focus on Katya, 'cause I want that bomb.

JOSH: Copy that.

OK, Leon, patch us back through to the court line.

You got it.

(PHONE RINGING TONE)

-(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING) -He's not picking up.

Christian, you got sight yet?

Yeah, nearly there.

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

What the hell?

-Kerry, are you seeing this? -Yep. Yeah, I got it.

-Where are our gunmen? -And where's Lawson?

Leon, you've got vision on these corridors

surrounding the court, yeah?

Uh, yeah. They didn't come that way.

-Well, they can't just disappear. -Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Hang on.

Tricky little bastards.

Oh, no.

They've accessed the main video service router.

In English?

Check this out. See that?

The video footage is on a loop.

-Oh, Jesus. -I didn't see it.

You mean they could be anywhere in the building?

-LEON: Just about. -Jesus...

CUCKOO: Move!

The day hasn't worked out the way you wanted, huh?

-GUARD: Move! -You're not out of here yet.

(SCREAMS)

-GUARD: Get up! -Hey, hey, hey, hey!

-I've got it, alright? -Get up!

Easy, easy.

-You OK? -CUCKOO: Go! Hurry up!

-(COMPUTER BEEPS) -Bonzer!

What is it?

The call button's been pressed for the lift in the basement.

-It's got to be them. -Alright, where's it going to?

-It's not. It's just sitting there. -OK, that's gotta be Lawson.

Right, this passage - where does it lead to?

-Access door on the western side. -How long till they're out.

-LEON: Shouldn't be long. -Christian?

Yeah, on my way!

Hey! They're comin' out. Guns out, on me.

In position.

Copy that.

CHARLIE: Leon?

Are you sure they're coming to the western access door?

Oh, yeah.

Un...unless...

Jesus...

Uh, Charlie? The building's been converted.

It was originally built as a bank headquarters.

What does that mean?

It means there's a tunnel for moving cash around.

It comes up in what's now an office complex about a block away.

We're surrounding the wrong building?

Leon?!

(LEON SIGHS)

-Yes, I think so. -Christian?!

On me!

We don't do uniforms here.

We're looking for someone. Her name's Katya.

No Katya here.

She might be a customer or a friend of yours.

She's got long, dark-brown hair. Uh, about 5'8". Russian accent.

I've got lots of customers.

But not a lot of friends?

Josh...let's go.

Are you Josh?

Katya didn't tell me you're police.

50 bucks.

-Do you take cards? -No.

Thank you.

STELLA: There you go.

Thanks.

Leon, you got plans of the other building?

Got 'em.

Let's look at a containment strategy. Exits?

They'll have two ways out. They can come up and through the foyer...

Yeah, I can see that. Not likely.

Or they can stay at basement level

and come out the eastern exit, into the alleyway.

Shannon, take the alley. Christian, around the front, set up a cordon.

-We got street cams on this alley? -I'm working on it.

Ooh. Van.

Yep.

Kerry, we've got some kind of cleaning van

at the side of the access way.

Driver's still behind the wheel.

Could be some kind of getaway vehicle.

We can see it. Want to run the plates?

Already have. It's a rental.

You'd miss me if I was gone.

Yeah, like I miss smoking.

Christian, you got that front cordon secure?

-Yeah. All good. -Right.

I want you to cover the other end of the alley, fast.

Travelling!

Leon, have you got vision in the tunnel?

Not a sausage, Charlie.

You don't need these guys anymore.

You've got me as insurance. You can let them go.

You think you're special.

Think about it - once you get out those doors,

they're gonna hold you back.

I can assure you, we are all in this together.

Damien...

DAMIEN: Open it.

-You set, Christian? -Yeah, all set.

KERRY: Alright, Charlie, I want a peaceful resolution.

We need this guy alive. He's our only link to the bomb.

Yeah, we'll do our best.

Charlie, go.

CHARLIE: Kerry, we've got movement.

Shit.

-Charlie, I can't see Lawson. -CHARLIE: On my go.

Go.

-Stay where you are! -SHANNON: Stay where you are!

Don't move! Put your weapons on the ground, now!

-Put your weapons down! -Lawson's with them.

CUCKOO: Stay back!

-Put your weapons on the floor now! -Stay back!

There's no way out of here!

Put your weapon down now before someone gets hurt.

-CUCKOO: We want clear passage out! -That's not gonna happen.

-Charlie, I can take him from here. -Hold your position, Christian.

(FIRES GUN)

Don't you move! You stay there!

-LAWSON: Drop it! -CHARLIE: It's over.

You put the weapon down now.

Drop it! Drop it!

Drop it!

(FIRES GUN)

SHANNON: Leon, we need medical now.

Oh, shit!

CHRISTIAN: Down, down!

-(SIREN WAILS) -SHANNON: Leon, medic.

Three minutes off.

Where's the bomb?

Tell us where the bomb is.

-SHANNON: He's not breathing. -Shit!

(WATER RUNS)

I had to get the blood off. What do you want?

-Move. -So, um....

-Don't. I don't need a lecture. -I'm not gonna lecture you.

Don't stand there.

Stop standing there.

Oh...

It's like you said.

May as well get married and be done with it.

Lawson...

I'm wearing a towel.

JOSH: There's gotta be something on there. She wanted us to find it.

Flights, money transfers, names, dates.

She's been tracking enriched uranium from Georgia to Australia.

It's a goldmine, Kerry.

I don't suppose it tells us where the bomb is.

There's lots of addresses on there but we don't know what they mean.

Right, well, there's only one way to find out.

Alright.

Check this out.

-That's not local. -Not exactly, no.

It goes to an address in Uzbekistan.

The Hard Roads Foundation.

Yeah, but it doesn't match any of their listed numbers.

It must be some kind of discreet line.

Mm-hm. I think it's time to give our Uzbek friends a call.

Uh, you were told to back off.

I think we're past protocol.

Sweet.

So, why does Katya give you all this information?

She must be desperate.

She's a shit magnet is what she is.

Thank you.

-How'd you go? -Well, she's in the country.

-Apparently. -Uh, doing what?

-Building roads. -Ha!

-Are they stonewalling you? -Well, not exactly.

They say they haven't been in contact for about two weeks

and they'd like to know if and when we find her,

and I don't think they're lying about that.

They've lost their own operative.

-Can I have that information here? -Yep. Coming right up.

(PHONE RINGS)

Katya?

Katya?

Leon, Katya just called me on my mobile.

Can you try and get a position on her phone?

I'll need a minute.

-Leon, what's this? -Some kind of shipping manifest.

Yeah. It doesn't say where it's going to.

Leon? Yeah, hang on.

-(COMPUTER BEEPS) -OK, it's...

..travelling city-bound on St Kilda Road.

Copy that.

Alright, Charlie, Lawson, I want you on the road.

It's St Kilda Road, city-bound.

LAWSON: Yep. Already on our way.

Could you find out where that ship's going?

Katya said that the Cuckoo made the dirty bomb

for the, uh, Korean Magpie, right?

Yeah. Kenta Tomi. God knows where he is.

Yeah, well, I've been thinking, what if the Korean Magpie isn't a man?

What if it's a place?

Check this out. Here we go.

"Korean Magpie, from the Latin Pica sericea, blah, blah, blah...

"It is a common symbol of the Korean identity

"and has been adopted as

"the official bird of the South Korean city of Seoul."

Shining Cloud are planning to bomb the capital of South Korea.

Great way to start a war between the North and South.

Great way to get attention for a doomsday cult.

I'm gonna shut down the ports.

Where to, Leon?

Uh, it's travelling west-bound on Flinders Street.

-Take Lonsdale. -I know.

Hang on. She's just turned right onto King Street, north-bound.

Alright, turn left here.

Right.

Steady as she goes.

OK, we're south-bound on King.

You should be seeing it now, about 50 metres ahead.

Have you got her?

I think we've got the bomb.

What's the wind speed today?

Uh, south-westerly at about...

..15 k's an hour.

-Shit. -Gusting to 20.

(SIGHS) Goodbye, Fitzroy...

..Kew, Hawthorn.

Can you, uh, predict the path to the port?

(SIGHS)

(DIALS PHONE NUMBER)

Hey, baby, it's me.

Um, I'm at work, so I can't really say anything,

but, um, how about you take the kids to your mother's for a few days?

No, no, no. Nothing's wrong. Just get everyone in the car, alright?

Alright.

We should just let it go. It's not meant for us.

Just let it get on the ship and let it get far away.

-Plans for intercept? -KERRY: Yeah.

We're looking at somewhere not densely populated.

LEON: Detonator's likely to be a mobile phone.

If they know we're after them,

they'll send a signal to the phone and...

Are you trying to scare us, Leon?

No.

I'm serious. Just let it get out on the water and then...

And then what?

OK, we're intercepting at the top end of North Wharf Road.

Yeah, copy that.

-Josh? -Yeah, ready.

Go.

(TYRES SCREECH, SIREN WAILS)

CHRISTIAN: Police! Get down and out of the cab!

-Get out of the cab now! -Get down!

SHANNON: Hands behind your back. Hands behind your back.

-CHARLIE: Covering. -Turn around. Hands in front.

Make a fist.

-Katya... -LAWSON: Charlie, bolt cutters!

-Make a fist. -Bolt cutters.

-Yep. Shannon, you right? -Yep, yep, yep, yep.

SHANNON: Do not move.

You sit and don't move.

Josh? Katya's phone.

A bit more.

LAWSON: Kerry...

..we've got the bomb.
