Original subtitles

STELLA: 7:00 at night. It's like 4:00 in the morning.

Except without all the pissed idiots and the fights.

"Yeah, Stella.

"I think there's, like, an hour left of late-night shopping.

"Why don't we go to Myer and pick some underwear together?"

-I heard you. -Well, you could talk to me.

Josh, boltcutters.

Hey! Hey, we're gonna get you out. What's your name?

-Michelle. -And who's this?

-Angelina. -Anyone else in there?

No.

Hey, Angelina!

Straight to the car, please.

Where did everyone go?

Come on, we'll take you to an evacuation point.

-Can you tell me what's going on? -The city's been evacuated.

-Why? -There's a bomb.

LEON: I hope you've got your family somewhere safe,

'cause I'm pretty sure they don't know how to fix it.

CHRISTIAN: How do you know that?

24 hours and they're still scratching their heads.

They'll figure it out.

We're fine.

Annie's got the kids at her mother's house outside the exclusion zone.

You really reckon the wind's gonna take any notice of

a 5km exclusion zone?

Nah, nah.

That goes off and we're all glow-in-the-dark

for the next 20,000 years.

I'm calling Annie.

If it makes you feel any better,

a little bit of radiation is actually good for you.

It used to be used in all kinds of medicines.

Yeah, until they found out it kills ya.

-There you are. Get in here. -I just gotta call Annie for a sec.

Call her later, Christian.

-Why? What's going on? -You're going to Fiji.

-What?! -Kenta Tomi's been picked up.

I want you, Lawson and Shannon to fly there

and extradite him back to face charges.

He's the key to this whole operation.

Kenta Tomi - the doomsday guy?

-Yeah. -He's the end user of the bomb.

-You're going now. -I don't have a passport.

It's organised. It's waiting for you at the airport.

So, you fly in, pick him up, bring him back on a chartered flight.

Fiji?

How many intelligence people are gonna be on the plane?

We've got four. We've got two of us and two FSB.

Still reckon it's a mistake giving them first dibs at the interview.

Look, I know.

But if the Russians lodge their own extradition order,

we're gonna be tied up for months.

I think giving them an interview on the way home is,

well, a small price to pay.

STELLA: See you, Angelina.

-ANGELINA: Bye! -Bye.

So, what's up your arse?

Swing by base. I've got something I want to do.

OK.

CHRISTIAN: I've always wanted to go to Fiji.

I didn't think it'd be because of this.

Some holidays you just can't plan.

-Hey, hey, hey! Hey! -(ALL SHOUT)

LAWSON: Let him go. Let him go.

-What the hell's wrong with you? -Let him go. Let him go!

What?

Sorry.

Shit.

Is he alright?

Any idea what it was about?

No.

Those guys...

They should just have sex and get it over with.

(SNORTS) Is that what guys do, is it?

Ooh! Not this one.

Actually, I don't have that many male friends.

Most of my besties are women.

Hmm. I wonder why that is.

I do get hit on by a lot of blokes, though.

Jeez, they must be picking up on your gay vibe.

If there's any man-love energy getting put out, it's towards Jesus.

I'm not some sweaty, Christian Brothers homo.

-Hey, are you gonna eat that? -Be my guest.

Yes!

I don't know why people complain about aeroplane food.

This is delicious. I love it.

(SIGHS)

I had a dream you punched Lawson.

I'm gonna keep at you about it.

Don't push it.

Lawson would go to the wall for you. You know that, don't you?

He nearly lost it when you went off.

I saw it. You don't know what he went through.

-Oh, I've got some idea. -Why'd you hit him?

He screwed Tash.

Yeah.

OK.

Some shit you just can't fix.

LEON: (ON RADIO) TR-2, can you swing past base?

Charlie needs a pick up.

Yeah, we're good. Five minutes.

I suppose you've got to face the music some time.

Senior Sergeant Blake, Sarah Holland. My colleague, Tim.

Anton and Rodion, they're from the FSB counter-terrorism unit.

-Thank you for your cooperation. -I haven't cooperated yet.

I need to see your IDs. Yours too, please.

Yeah, of course.

Uh, Tim?

If you could read and sign those.

Basically, that you understand your obligations

under the Crimes Act 1914.

You cannot talk to anyone about anything to do with this flight.

We'll stop just shy of hanging you if you do.

-See what I mean? -Make a great couple.

Jesus.

You forget how to use your phone?

-I know how to use it. -Where are we going?

We've gotta pick up Minister Vargas. She wants to inspect the bomb site.

Great.

Stay here if you're worried about it.

No, Anna Vargas. Ugh!

Well, make sure you let her know how you feel

when she's in the car, won't you?

Kenta Tomi, you've been placed in my custody

to be transited to Australia

to face questioning and possible charges

for suspicion of acts of terrorism.

You're not obliged to say or do anything.

Anything you say or do will be recorded and taken down as evidence.

Do you understand what I've just said to you?

-I do. -Good. Put that bag down now!

-We wish to examine its contents. -Hey! Hey, listen...

-It's up to him. -Christian, do a search of the bag.

You can observe but you don't touch anything. You understand?

Let's go.

Here's a sat phone.

Get the numbers off the SIM card, send 'em through to Leon.

-Who are they? -It doesn't matter who they are.

They'll be questioning you on the flight over.

-I don't want to speak to them. -Then don't.

-Minister Vargas. -Senior Sergeant.

-What's this? Who are they? -It's media. They're coming with us.

-No, no. Essential personnel only. -It's not your decision.

So, you're gonna risk all their lives for a photo op?

That's a disgraceful thing to suggest.

The public need to be reassured

the government is responding to this crisis.

-And I need them for that. -I like him sometimes.

Look, if you're not gonna take us down there,

I'll just open me another can of cops who will.

We're taking Minister Vargas and some press to the bomb site.

OK.

Just turn your mobile phones off and if you'd switch your radio to ULF.

Yep.

If you'll just park your cars this side of the command post...

-OK, thank you. -Thank you, Officer.

LEON: I think I might start taking my iodine pills.

You haven't been taking them?

It's kind of like I'm accepting defeat.

Leon, if that thing blows,

the only thing between you and a short life without a thyroid

is those little pills.

It's the metallic taste.

-Yeah, I can't stand the taste. -Are you serious?

Yeah, it's a complete phobia.

I just...I don't...I can't... It's why I eat with my hands.

-I can't even put a fork in my mouth. -I have seen you eat with cutlery.

Plastic.

You don't have to take them orally.

In the meantime, this Church of the Shining Cloud, Kenta Tomi -

the whole doomsday cult shit -

I want everything on them, alright?

I don't care how trivial. The lot.

What do you mean I don't have to take them orally?

That's...that's...that's wrong. That's...

Thank God the turtle look is in this season.

Maybe Charlie's got a sense of humour.

LEON: (ON RADIO) Josh, I've got a message.

Yeah, what is it?

Uh, Tash has been trying to call you.

Minka's done a runner.

She's gone back inside the exclusion zone.

Well, I can't do anything about it. I'm stuck here.

Uh...Tash sounded very upset.

-Bloody Minka. -Not your responsibility anymore?

Now, there's no symbols to indicate polarity of terminals,

so there's no way of knowing

which wires to attack or which ones to leave alone.

Now, all the important stuff is lead-shielded,

so X-rays give us nothing

and some of it just seems like decoys and booby traps,

which makes our job doubly impossible.

It's a complete solid-state cluster fuck.

Sorry, ma'am.

Uh, now, we've calculated

that there's about 1.5 kilos of radioactive plutonium

stacked in the centre

and it's surrounded by about 1.3 tonnes of Semtex explosive,

which explains why none of us are wearing the blast suits.

You must be important.

What does the screen do?

We think - and I emphasise 'think' -

we think it's a secondary timing device.

A failsafe, should the primary mechanism fail.

Is there any other way of getting at it?

Not from here.

Our plan is to cut a hole in the bottom of the container

and access it from below.

How long will that take?

-12 to 72 hours. -Give or take?

You have to beat it. Do you understand that?

Thanks.

CHRISTIAN: Don't suppose we'll get food on this flight?

You got worms?

We're ready to speak with Mr Tomi.

Alright, Christian.

Take Mr Tomi down the back. Stay with him during the interview.

No, the interview's strictly classified.

OK, we'll respect that.

But he must stay visible at all times.

-Yep. -Senior Sergeant...

Listen, while he's in my care, he stays where we can see him.

Yep.

OK.

(DIALS PHONE)

(PHONE RINGS)

Lawson, this must mean you're in the air.

Yeah, about 20 minutes into the flight.

How's the prisoner?

He seems OK, health-wise. He's talking to the spooks now.

-Has he made any admissions? -No.

Hey, listen, how did you go with those numbers Christian sent you?

Yeah, I've got them up now.

OK.

The sat phone matches an account set up by an alias of the Cuckoo.

That must be the trigger phone.

Right. So, what - you turn it on, dial a number and then boom?

Stand by until I've cleared it with bomb squad.

All non-essential personnel clear the area immediately.

STELLA: OK, that's you guys. Let's go. Out. Cameras down.

-I'm not leaving. -Cameras away. Let's go.

Listen. They're gonna try jamming the signal. That means it might...

No, I'm staying here until this is fixed.

Don't go all bloody Winston Churchill on me now.

I'm staying, Charlie.

Mate, I'm not gonna tell you again. Let's go.

You two, make sure the media get out.

If you guys want to go, say so now.

I'm OK. And he's lost the will to live anyway.

Piss off.

Help me get this thing off, please, Charlie.

Turn around.

Somehow, I don't think you'd get away with that on a regular flight.

RODION: Did the Cuckoo ever tell you...

(CONTINUES SPEAKING INAUDIBLY)

What happened with Tash...

I'm sorry.

I never...

Look...

How did you think marrying me was gonna fix that?

It doesn't exactly rub it out, does it?

No.

I was gonna ask you months ago.

But, um...

Yeah, I wanted space.

You never said why.

You said you'd never ask.

(PHONE RINGS)

(SIGHS)

-Yeah. -Stand by. We're nearly ready.

Jammer's on.

Turn the phone on, Lawson.

-(PHONE BEEPS) -OK. It's powering up now.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

(QUIETLY) Oh, shit.

(BEEPS)

Shit! Come on, boys. Quick, quick.

CHARLIE: It's gone into countdown.

-Look at that. -Yeah, I see it.

OK, it's powered up.

I take it the world hasn't ended down there?

Leon?

Stand by, Lawson. We've got a problem.

Hey, my ex's daughter is missing somewhere inside the exclusion zone.

-I've gotta get in and get her out. -Alright, take TR-2.

We can get a lift out if we need one.

Alright, thanks.

-(COMPUTER BEEPS) -OK, there's another one.

OK, that's 1:06 at blip.

90 blips on the wheel equals 99 minutes.

Alright, Charlie, we've got a 99-minute countdown.

That gives you about 96 minutes until detonation.

Do you want to get the Minister and get the hell out of there?

Negative on that.

The Minister is adamant she's staying.

Yeah, well, what's one less politician?

Lawson, what are you seeing on your screen?

Look, it's a standard home screen. Call list is clear.

-Contact list? -Hang on.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Right, there's two names on the contact list.

The first one is Goguryeo.

It's got an Australian 61 country code.

And the next one is...

..Cheomseongdae, also an Australian number.

I'm not sure if I'm saying these right. I'll send them through to you.

(PHONE BEEPS)

So, one number arms the bomb. The other disarms the bomb.

Yeah, but which is which?

Do you want to look at the names, the number sequences?

See if there's anything significant.

What - like, in case he's one of those Asian people

who's into auspicious numbers?

Yes. Yes.

You were right about those iodine pills, by the way.

RODION: Did they identify themselves to you?

Did the Cuckoo ever tell you his real name?

-That thing is starting to shit me. -Me too.

RODION: I don't believe you.

Alright, you, put your little toy away.

Aaagh!

-Hey... -Hey!

CHRISTIAN: Come here! Come here! Come here!

LAWSON: Get him...get him... get him back to his seat.

CHRISTIAN: Move!

-Take him back to his seat. -CHRISTIAN: Get back!

Move it.

Are you OK with this?

He was ignoring me and I woke him up.

Listen to me. No more interviews. Done.

OK?

-Get anything after all that? -He wasn't cooperating.

Senior Sergeant, nothing that man says can be trusted.

By the sounds of it, you got nothing out of him anyway.

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

I knew you'd come back for me.

Come on. Let's go.

Nah. (LAUGHS) You're gonna have to come up.

'Cause I'm not coming down.

You OK?

Want some?

I'm just a maudlin alcoholic.

It's pathetic.

Don't leave.

I've got to.

(BOTTLE THUDS)

I don't want you to go, Josh.

Let's get outta here.

Did you talk to Mum?

She didn't deserve you.

What a skank! And your best friend?

Like...how does that work?

I don't know.

"Oh, my God! Josh is dead. I'm horny. Let's do it."

(LAUGHS)

I never got that whole... sex and death thing.

I hit Lawson.

Good. Hard, I hope.

-Yeah. -(CHUCKLES)

They deserve each other.

A skank and a skunk.

(SIGHS)

Shall we?

Nah. I'm gonna watch the end of the world.

And, as you know,

being a darkly disposed individual,

it kind of appeals.

I'm not leaving without you.

It's your choice.

I love you, Josh.

I do.

OK.

Whoa! Yep, yep. Here you go.

(VOMITS VIOLENTLY)

Ohh! Yeah.

Yeah.

-The bomb's counting down. -How long?

70 minutes.

I'm right to say that Melbourne wasn't your target.

The bomb was destined for Seoul, wasn't it?

To start a war between the North and the South?

And the end of the world would follow?

That was the prophesy, wasn't it?

That's what the prophesy said, right?

Well, that's not gonna happen anymore.

So, you need to tell us how to defuse it.

Has it gone to countdown?

How long ago?

Minutes.

They got the satellite signal?

Yeah.

I'm sick.

LAWSON: Deep breaths.

The code. We need the code.

Have a look at this.

Something's been pushed into his neck, just here.

Deal with him.

SHANNON: Just try and calm down. Try and...try and sit up.

He's been poisoned? Come on, we were, what, six feet away?

-What do you know about these two? -I met them at the airport.

They're bona fide FSB, as far as I can tell.

What we think is the fissile material was sourced from Russia.

Maybe they don't want that to get out.

From what I know of FSB,

they have a special way of dealing with people like our friend here.

-Yeah, but not like this. -Maybe they're right. I don't know.

What I do know is that he's the only one that knows how to defuse it.

So, it's very important he stays alive.

Now, what I'm gonna do, I'm going to question and search them

and you're gonna back me up, OK?

-Yep. -Are they armed?

It was a condition of them getting onboard that they couldn't be armed.

But you didn't check?

-No. -What about you or Cornwall?

No.

Alright. Christian? Stay with him. Make sure he stays awake.

Let's go.

-How is the prisoner? -Where's Anton?

-What's going on? -Right. You see where Anton went?

He went back a few minutes ago.

-Was he carrying anything with him? -Uh, I dunno.

Alright, find his bag and search it.

Senior Sergeant Blake wants to talk to both of you.

-See if you can find Anton. -Yep.

Right, my prisoner's sick and going downhill fast.

I think he's been poisoned. Do you know anything about that?

Did he tell you that?

This way. Hands up there.

-Is this a joke? -I'm gonna search you.

-Right? -(LAUGHS)

You cannot treat me like this.

I'll be complaining about this.

Officially. Make no mistake.

-Cornwall, anything? -Nothing.

-Where's your colleague? -I don't think he's gone far.

He's clear.

Alright, down the front. Everyone down the front.

We're not gonna make it.

If we get out of here half an hour before detonation,

they might figure it out by then.

Kerry, has Lawson made any headway on that code?

Uh, look, it's not looking good on that end, Charlie.

Leon's analysing the numbers now.

Leon, do you want to...?

Uh, yeah, Goguryeo's the name of an ancient kingdom

from the Goryeo period, when Korea was a single entity.

If the point of the bomb is to unite the two Koreas,

on name alone, you'd think that triggers the bomb

and the Cheomseongdae number disarms it.

But the Goguryeo phone number contains five number 4s.

Now, the number 4, in Korean, is particularly inauspicious.

If he wants his plan to work, he's not gonna use that number.

On the other hand, Cheomseongdae is a conservatory built in 634 -

again, use of the number 4, inauspicious.

The only thing I can think of is the number sequence 815.

The Americans dropped the bomb on Hiroshima at 8:15 in the morning.

Maybe that triggers the bomb.

Charlie, the short answer to that is we've got no idea.

Thank you.

Listen, we've gotta risk moving it. We've got a little over an hour.

Let's get it out of town, let it blow somewhere remote.

OK, where can we drive it to that the fallout's not gonna hit the city?

Yeah, I'm just checking with the Bureau.

OK, wind's from the south-west.

Head west along the Geelong Freeway.

Anywhere from Little River on, the dust cloud should avoid the city.

Alright, do you want to notify the services

we're gonna move the bomb?

Alright, Traffic Management has to clear the highway ahead of you

and we need to evacuate all the area up to Geelong.

-You got that? -Yeah, copy that. Stell?

-Yep. -We're moving the bomb.

If he's so sick, why don't you redirect the flight?

Take him to Vanuatu or something?

Find Shannon.

That's actually not a bad idea.

If we take them to Vanuatu, we can't hold them.

They'll be gone as soon as we land.

But I'm starting to wonder if you can even hold them now.

Hey! Wake up.

Wake up. Hey?

Hey.

-He's gone. -He definitely didn't come this way.

Well, did he jump?

Check this out.

-Cover for me. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Yep? -Yep.

Clear.

Good?

Yeah.

Yep. Go.

(UNZIPS BAG)

CHRISTIAN: Anton?

Anton, put the weapon down.

I take this out, it's, "Goodbye, everybody."

Do you want to die?

Alright, you can try and kill everyone.

But that's not gonna work.

Put down your weapon!

-Put it down or I will shoot. -Put it down now!

Put it down!

SHANNON: Hands on your head.

-Clearing. -Do not move.

You and the Minister, huh?

What makes you say that?

A girl can tell.

So, powerful women fry your burger, do they?

Yeah, and if they can drive a truck, all the better.

Eyes on the road.

SHANNON: Found him in the cargo bay, trying to get rid of this.

LAWSON: What's this?

This the poison? This how it's delivered?

SARAH: What's this?

-For God's sake... -This the antidote?

Hang on. Are you serious?

Yeah.

They carry antidote when they carry poison in case they jab themselves.

So, is that the antidote?

Answer me.

Look, I could just jab him with it and hope he gets better

or I could ask you again.

God!

Is that the antidote?

It is!

(TYRES SCREECH)

How we doing for time?

Uh, yeah, pretty good actually, so you can slow down a bit if you want.

-LAWSON: Hey? -(GASPS)

You still with us?

You ready to die?

'Cause that's what's gonna happen unless we give you this.

This. Antidote.

So, one jab of this and you can live.

Up to you.

-Give it to me! -Hey!

-Give it to me! -Hey! Hey!

Give it to me!

Hey, I thought you were a martyr for the cause. Yeah? Not afraid of death?

Hmm? What happened?

KENTA: (PANTS) I don't want to die.

Happy to let others do the dying for you - is that it?

-I want to live! -First the code to disarm the bomb.

Cheomseongdae.

Bullshit.

-Cheomseongdae! -Don't bullshit me.

-Cheomseongdae! -I don't believe you.

Cheomseongdae! Cheomseongdae!

-I'm telling the truth! -You give me the code or you die.

It's up to you. It's a difficult choice.

Cheomseongdae... I'm telling the truth!

I'm telling the truth! This stops it.

You have to...you have to enter manually to disarm it.

(GROANS)

Kerry, how we going with the code?

-Stand by, Charlie. -Listen, we're two minutes off.

You gotta let us know as soon as you get it.

So, they plug in the number...

..and it's wrong...

It'll blow up.

Josh is behind us.

How can I take that risk?

Well, what do you want me to say, Kerry?

All I know is I've got an iodine pill up my arse

because some nut-job from Korea wants to blow the world up.

Charlie?

We can't rely on the information from Kenta Tomi.

We're not gonna use the code.

-Let's go. We're moving. -We've got the code.

You heard what she said. We can't rely on the number.

Kerry, we're here, we've got the code,

and we're gonna stand by and watch it blow?

No, Josh, you're gonna be k's down the highway,

driving away from it as fast as you bloody well can.

-Let's go, Josh! -Nuh, I'm stayin'.

-Josh, get in the car now! -Go! I'm stayin'!

You're crazy.

See ya.

I'm still here, Kerry.

Yeah, I know.

Is there any way I can talk you out of this?

It's too late for that. OK, which one is it?

Cheomseongdae.

To confirm, Cheomseongdae -

6181 577 3572?

-Yeah, that's it. -I want to talk to Lawson.

Just put him through to my phone.

Do you think that's such a good idea?

I mean, those two aren't exactly...

Just...just...just do it.

Yeah, Leon's patching you through now.

Lawson, I've got Josh for you.

Josh?

How's the head?

It's been better. How's the hand?

Shit.

Look, I'm sorry.

OK? I truly am.

I'm standing in front of the bomb, about to enter the code.

-This guy telling the truth? -I gave him every reason to.

What's your instinct?

Lawson?

I believe him.

Well, it's 50/50, otherwise, isn't it?

Don't screw around with this.

-I took him right to the edge. -Oh, did ya?

This is not exactly the time for this. You agree?

Well, I'm meant to trust your instincts.

What was your instinct when you were screwing my girlfriend?

Now, what number is it?

You don't know, do ya? You got no idea.

Look, I think I'm right.

You think? You looked the guy in the eye when he told ya, didn't ya?

I believe him. That's the code to disarm the bomb.

He was telling the truth.

What?

It's disarmed.

It's done, Lawson.

We're done.

We're good.

I jab him?

Yeah.

Aagh!

What about him?

He can wait.

Hey? Hey, baby. Guess what I'm doin'?

I am flying a toy helicopter in a jumbo jet

at 30,000 feet, while talking to you.

Yeah, 'cause I thought you'd be impressed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be home for dinner.

Hey?

I love you.

What?

When the time's right...

..ask me to marry you again.

Yeah?

Now Task Force Cicero's done, I suppose you'll be moving on.

Yeah, I guess so.

Will you?

It could have its advantages.

I want to tell Michael, so he knows how it worked out.

Take as long as you need.

I thought you had an oral metal phobia.

Ah!

-It's all lips, no tongue, Kerry. -(PHONE RINGS)

Hey, do you reckon I'll be able to take that pill out now?

Kerry Vincent?

Is this information good?

I'll get back to you when I know something.

I'd keep that pill where it is.

What's going on?

We've got to get everyone back in here.

We've got another bomb.

Yeah, Lawson, Charlie, you there?
