Original subtitles

It made sense, steal from the man who stole from us.

If they find out, they will never give you a visa.

We do the right thing and soon we'll be gone from here.

I don't want to keep going!

- Call the medic now! Calm down! - I trusted you!

Transfer to Kildara Psychiatric Hospital.

- I'll take care of it. - Had to find someone to blame.

Do you know where I was when my mother was dying?

We've all made sacrifices, Kowitz.

Stop that now!

- When I say, you stop! - Who are you?!

- Get out! - Come for a drink?

We have a witness who saw you take money.

- You told them! - Why would I do this?

Pedar!

You just caught yourself a people smuggler, Kowitz.

Jesus!

You nearly gave me a heart attack.

What are you doing here?

I needed somewhere to crash.

Why?

Oi! What's going on?

Hey, mate.

Uh, listen, hey, can you swing past 36 Alma?

No, I'm ready.

Ah, cheers. Thanks.

Should I call Ange or what?

You gonna answer me or...

- Here. - Oh.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Take the day off work.

Have you ever done that?

Yes.

Trouble in paradise, mate?

She's put him in the doghouse, eh?

Ange sick of you coming home with a skinful?

Yeah, something like that.

Here. Hair of the bloody mongrel.

- Take it, brother. - Ta.

Eva.

You should be rehearsing.

♪ Let's take a boat to Bermuda... ♪

♪ Let's take a plane to St Paul ♪

♪ Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack ♪

♪ Let's get away from it all... ♪

So... so there were definitely two male officers with her?

Okay.

Thanks, Phil.

Male-female-male.

And a male-female-male.

Okay, so where are the women?

B.

Eva Hoffman.

"You can be anyone you want to be."

- Hey. - Hey.

Should we...

talk about it or...

Nah. Good.

- Okay, ladies. - Hey!

As you may have guessed, I am now the acting GM

while the suits interview for Brian's replacement.

Gosh. Thanks so much for your support.

No, really. I appreciate your faith in me.

Which brings me to who will be replacing me as coordinator.

After a lot of thought, actually, none whatsoever,

'cause you're all a pack of arseholes,

I will be promoting Sandford.

Oh, what the fuck?

Just remember, you're only acting, Sandford.

I want my job back when they push my arse back down the ladder.

Okay. Saddle up.

We've got the Human Rights Commission coming

to dump on us tomorrow.

Sandford will take you through the schedule.

I'm going upstairs to where the real fuckin' coffee is.

- No, no, take me with you. - Proud of you, son.

- Yeah. - Drinks on you tonight.

Better you than me, brother.

Happens every couple of months.

Suits come out for a look-see.

- Do they interview us? - Nah.

We just stand around like suckholes.

Telling them how delicious the food is,

how much we love the UNCs.

What if we don't want to say that?

There's talk they're gonna shut the joint down.

You want to keep your job, Shaz.

You gotta dance for Daddy.

Vitamin D time.

Waiting on the other side of the door

is the person you were always meant to be.

We should be rehearsing.

Pat says that I have a real chance

at winning the Trophy of Transformation.

You remember the opening steps?

It's... one, two,

three, four, five, six,

seven, eight.

Keep the rhythm.

And five, six, seven, eight.

That's it. That's good.

Eva.

Listen to me, okay?

When your body is trapped,

your brain, it wants to escape.

But you open a door too wide, you can't close it.

You got to hold on, up here. You have to.

Hands off, Osama.

This lady, she needs help now. Okay?

Back in your box.

Eva Hoffman.

Wasn't your sister, Ms Werner.

It was a German backpacker out here picking grapes

and overstayed her visa.

Uh, so, what happened to her?

Well, she was arrested for attempting to steal a boat

and then she was detained as a suspected unlawful non-citizen

under section 189 of the Migration Act.

So I need to see a photo of her.

When she was identified as a UNC, the file was sent over to DIMMA.

Can you get a copy of it?

Listen, Ms Werner, I appreciate how much hope a lead can give...

Well, I wouldn't know.

This is the only lead that I've had in two months.

This girl is not your sister.

You don't know that.

Where did they take her?

- I'm not at liberty to reveal... - Please. God, I need to know.

Barton Immigration Detention Facility.

Until she could be identified and deported.

What if... what if they couldn't identify her?

Still be there.

So I'll get the boys to, uh,

give the front entrance a bit of a makeover,

few new palm trees, that kind of thing.

Is that really necessary?

Well, we always do it when a committee comes through.

Katia reckoned first impressions were important, so...

Right.

What... what actually happened to Katia?

On the hush?

Ye... yes.

Well, she couldn't keep a healthy distance from the UNCs.

Meaning?

She had a thing with one of the Iranians.

Well, until he necked himself in the loading dock.

Anything you don't want seen, just put a piece of tape on it

and I'll get it locked down.

Here's the Immigration lady!

Not today. Not today.

- Oi, oi, oi, oi! - It's the Immigration lady, everyone!

- Come! - Stand back, please. Come on.

- Back it up. - Back it up.

If you've got a request, you need to fill out a form.

Officer Sandford is my right-hand man.

Any hint of disturbance and he will shut it down.

Don't worry.

We'll keep the bastards looking in the right direction.

Sandford. Might want to put the swings up.

The commissioners will want to see the kids playing.

Back it up. Back it up.

Don't worry. We'll move Mr Suitcase.

Okay. So we'll take them through here into the mess.

I'll organise the Afghans to play some music,

we'll have tea and cake,

and we'll wheel the best-behaved UNCs out for a chat.

What are they doing back up there?

Want me to put some tape on them?

Back it up.

- I'm going crazy! - Please, please!

I'm going crazy in here!

Mina?

Where's your father?

Uh, isolation.

He, um, attacked one of his fellow UNCs.

- Why? - I don't know. It's a tribal thing.

You lied in your statement, Ameer.

You clearly know Oshan Nissanka.

Why do you have this?

Our witness from the Excelsior Hotel,

Dinar Suwito,

filmed every meeting on his phone.

I recognise this man very well, this one.

Ameer Ahmad.

He stayed in my hotel.

He work for Oshan Nissanka's immigration business.

Under section 233A of the Migration Act,

you will be charged with the offence of people smuggling...

Wa... wait.

No, no. I-I was just translating for the Afghans.

That's still classified as a criminal act,

contravening international law.

No. No. I... I was not working for this man.

I-I'm not a people smuggler.

This man, Oshan, he tricked us, stole all of our money.

I would never work for him.

If he took all your money,

then how did you get your family on a boat?

500, 600, 700, 800, 900.

There's more than enough here to pay for your family's journey.

Take the extra.

Sew it into your clothes

so you have money when you arrive in Australia.

- Okay. - We must split up.

We can't be seen together.

Go! Go!

Ameer, you do not have to answer that.

No.

I will tell you the truth.

I stole my money back from this people smuggler.

His men tracked me to the beach...

... stopped me from leaving with my family.

They beat me and they left me for dead.

But I survived.

And with the extra money, I got my own boat to Australia.

Do you have any proof of this?

Someone who could corroborate your story?

You have the right to plead not guilty to the charges, Ameer.

I am not guilty. I told them the truth.

Without someone to verify your story, it will be hard to prove.

Given the evidence the department have uncovered,

it will be a hard case to win.

What will happen if I lose?

Unfortunately,

you will never be granted a visa on character grounds,

so you would remain in detention indefinitely.

After the trial is over,

you could return to Afghanistan voluntarily.

If you plead guilty, this could happen sooner.

My daughter?

The same for her.

We can never go back to Afghanistan.

There's no future for my daughter there.

Mina.

Are you alright?

Mina, listen to me.

I thought he stopped us from getting a visa, but I was wrong.

Yes.

I hope so.

Why, Mina-jan?

Ne. Ne.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I'll get you help.

Help! We need a doctor!

- She's bleeding! - Please! Please!

- We need the nurse here! - Please, please! I need the nurse.

- I need the nurse. - Tango 3, nurse to Sierra.

Nurse! Nurse! Please!

Please, hurry!

My daughter!

- She... she needs help. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Alright. Well, she's coming with me.

No, she doesn't... doesn't just need a bandage.

- She needs proper help! - You can wait here, mate.

And she'll be back in Sierra tomorrow.

I'm her father! I need to come with her!

You can't take her! I'm her father!

Please, you're not taking her!

Please!

You okay, brother?

I'm fine.

What happened last night?

Just disappeared.

You and Ange okay?

You want to, uh, clean the rubbish up out of the walkways?

What's the hold-up?

We need your people smuggler all over the front pages

before the Commission of Indignation get out there.

He says he didn't do it.

You believe him?

I don't know.

He says he stole his own money back.

His... his story will be impossible to verify.

What this department needs right now is a good-news story.

- Even if it's unverified? - Doesn't matter.

It's still in the public interest.

Clare, I need you with me on this.

Whichever way you look at it, the man is a criminal.

And this is exactly why the department

has such thorough screening processes.

Okay.

Uh, sorry, I have to go.

Mina?

Mina.

What's going on?

Nurse has put her on Suicide and Self-Harm.

Oh, what?

If he pleads not guilty to the charges,

how long will the trial take?

Years, probably.

Depends on how many appeals the lawyers put us through.

Is there any way his daughter can be released into the community

while that happens?

Sure.

If the department wants to drop the charges

and grant them both protection visas.

You okay?

I've got a 12-year-old girl on suicide watch.

She's 12 years old.

Jesus.

There's not a fucking thing I can do to get her out of Barton.

I'm on the Human Rights Commission tour tomorrow.

- Official journalist. Maybe I... - You won't see her.

I've been trying to expose what goes on in these places for years

and it's just getting worse.

You know, the more exposes you write,

the more the department are just gonna lock it down.

The only way to blow this whole thing open...

is from the inside.

Mosi!

I have nothing to say to you.

I'm so sorry, brother.

It was... it was a misunderstanding.

I gave you my word and you doubted that.

I'm sorry.

If we fight each other, we don't fight them.

I know how warlords work.

I-I need you to verify my story.

Only as an eyewitness. I will not say you played any part.

- You told them what happened? - I had to.

Dinar from the hotel accused me of being a people smuggler.

I can't, Ameer. I stabbed a man!

- Please, Mosi. - I have one chance...

One, at a future, and this is it.

I'm sorry.

I want to tell you a story.

Before I came here, when I was waiting to get a boat,

I met a young Afghan woman with two little girls.

Her husband had died on their journey.

This woman had no money, no-one to look after her.

I found them a place to stay

and I got them onto a boat to Australia.

That boat was Lima Tujuh.

Ameer...

When I arrived in Australia, I was told

that single men had little hope of getting visas,

but if I had a family, it would make all the difference,

so I pretended this woman, Najeeba,

and her girls were mine.

Mina is not my daughter.

Ameer, no.

There has to be a better way.

Your department put me in this position,

so you tell me if there is another way.

In my file, my name is Hussaini.

I made it up to please the case officer.

You have nothing to link me to Mina.

My lawyer tells me an unaccompanied young girl from Afghanistan

will receive a protection visa.

There is a family in Australia.

She has stayed with them already.

They will look after her.

Eva. Uh...

Eva... Eva Hoffman.

She was admitted March 17.

Uh, the department can't provide any personal information.

Oh, Jesus!

Look, I just... I-I need to see a photo of her. Not now, bub.

I'm sorry, but the privacy of those under our care

is of utmost importance.

- Children, stop it. - Jesus Christ.

You can put in a written request

to DIMMA if you have her ID number.

- Can you give me that? - Sorry.

- Our privacy policy does not allow... - Well, how the...

fuck am I supposed to find out

if my sister is in there?

You are aware we're talking about a immigration detention centre

- for unlawful non... - You know what?

How about I fax you a photograph of my sister

and you check it against the department's?

That's not done.

Yeah, but it's not against your privacy policy, is it?

Where did you see this boat?

No, I don't think you should be alarmed.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the GOPA Eisteddfod,

as we battle it out for this year's...

- Trophy of Transformation! - Whoo!

Wakey-wakey.

The committee want to see isolation's 4-star bedrooms,

so you'll all be out in the compound today.

Well...

It's okay. I've got a show to do.

A trophy to win.

Okay, Shirley Temple. Let's go!

Are we all having a good time?

Righto, mate.

Gotta get you out of sight.

Hey.

Need to go into your room.

Okay? It's time.

Joke's up.

I need you to go inside.

Righto.

Up we get. Come on.

- Here we go. Uh, hey. - Uh, you don't touch him.

Hey. Don't touch him.

He's an old man, okay? He leave when he get his visa.

Well, he needs to get inside now.

- Alright? - No, no, no.

- He's not going anywhere. - Hey! It's got nothing to do with you.

- It's got nothing to do with you. - No, but it has to do...

- I need him to get up and go inside. - No, he can't do that.

Boys, grab the chair and drag him in.

Let go of the bag.

Let go of the bag. Get out of the way.

- He's old man! - Take him inside.

Let go of the fucking bag! Alright?

You piss on us, we piss on you.

Arggh!

Yeah. Yeah, I know this spot well.

Yeah. You can hit me as hard as you want.

No cameras.

What are you waiting for?!

Do it!

Do it!

That's how it go here, yeah?

If you don't see it, it never happened!

What do you... what do you do when you go home?

Do you take a shower before you play with your children?

Or you don't notice the smell anymore of what you do?

You don't.

But one day...

your wife and your child, they will know.

They will smell it and they will know what you really are.

Thank you for calling the Department

of Immigration Management and Multicultural Affairs.

If you need an interpreter, press 1.

If you are calling to report suspicious behaviour, press 2.

If you are calling to...

Hello. Yes. Margot Werner, again. I sent you a fax.

Can you call me back as soon as possible?

I'm on my way to Barton to find out for myself.

I've spoken to Youth Services.

They can organise Mina's return to the foster family.

She will be issued with a protection visa.

Thank you.

You told me to look after Sadi.

But I couldn't.

Every time I close my eyes...

She's always...

... there, in my dreams.

Inside here...

we only see the past, Mina-jan.

When you are outside, you will see the future,

and then your dreams will change.

I promise.

I have some good news.

You got your visa.

I must wait just a little bit longer.

Ne.

Listen to me, Mina-jan.

These people are saying things about me that are not true.

I must stay and fight their lies, but I will win.

- And then I will come and find you. - Ne.

I'm your father, Mina-jan.

You must do as I say.

Hello. Yes.

Margot Werner, again. I sent you a fax.

Can you call me back as soon as possible?

I'm on my way to Barton to find out for myself.

You saw someone with a suitcase?

And they wore headscarves?

Kowitz, I've sent you an urgent fax from Records.

One of your UNCs could be a bloody Australian citizen.

Call me back immediately.

Are we ready?

Human Rights Commission are gonna be here in 30.

Jesus!

Fuck!

Hello?

Uh, yeah.

Boss wants to talk to you.

- Kowitz. - Speaking.

Find BT-345's file and please, God, tell me that she is

an illegal German backpacker.

Okay, I'll... I'll have a look at the file now.

I don't need to tell you, but if there is

an Australian citizen in Barton, it'll bring a shitstorm

that will destroy this department and everything that we...

I'll call you back.

Is the Human Rights Commission there?

Nope. No sign of them yet.

No fear!

I've got a story for you.

No hate! No fear!

- Refugees are welcome here! - Yep?

No hate! No fear!

- Close the camp! - Refugees are welcome here!

- No hate! No fear! - Shame!

Refugees are welcome here! No hate! No fear!

Refugees are welcome here!

As soon as I get her out of here,

the story's yours.

No hate! No fear! Refugees are welcome here!

No hate! No fear!

Refugees are welcome here!

No hate! No fear!

Refugees are welcome here! No hate!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Just let the dance dance you!

Should we do something?

I'm not going near her.

Sofie?

Sofie.

Sofie Werner.

I need you to come with me.

We'll take you to your family.

No. This is my family here.

Okay.

- You can come with me. - No.

It is okay. You are getting out.

No more running now.

I... I don't want to. I want to stay here with my family.

You get to go home now.

- No, this is... this is where I belong. - It's okay.

- I don't want to go anywhere. - It is okay. It's okay.

- You are getting out. - Medics are here.

I haven't done anything. I want to stay here.

I don't want to go anywhere.

You'll need to sedate her.

It's okay, Sofie.

No, no, no. I don't... I don't want to go anywhere.

No, I... I don't want to go anywhere.

I d... I don't want to go anywhere! I want to stay here.

I don't want to... please. No, no, no, no!

No, no! No, no, I don't want... I don't... I don't want...

I want to stay.

I want to stay.

Ambulance is here. Over.

Get her into the ambulance.

Yep?

Ange?

Hey.

I'm so sorry.

Where are you?

Are you okay?

No.

Please forgive me.

Please.

Cam.

I love you.

Babe?

Babe?

Forms need to be submitted for approval

three days before any visit.

- I don't have three days. - That's the rules.

Okay, fine. You go get the forms.

I'll fill them out and I'll wait here.

You'll need the UNC's ID number.

Margot Werner.

This is Toby Abella from DIMMA.

Your sister's been located.

She's being admitted to Kildara Hospital.

I'm on my way.

Free, free, free! Free the refugees!

Free, free, free!

Free the refugees!

This is all about human rights!

Free the refugees!

- Do your job! - Free, free, free!

Free the refugees! Free, free, free!

Oi! Show the world what's going on in there.

Free, free, free! Free the refugees!

Free, free, free! Free the refugees!

Free, free, free! Free the refugees!

Free, free, free! Free the refugees!

- Oi! - Free, free, free!

Free the refugees!

Hey!

Hey.

The commissioners are arriving now.

Sofie Werner has been removed.

She's out and on her way to Kildara psych ward.

Thank God.

Good job.

Thanks.

No-one else needs to know about this.

Talk up your people smuggler.

Make sure you put a good spin on whatever they throw at you.

It's nothing I can't handle, Genevieve.

Thank you so much for coming all this way.

As you're about to witness, Australia's detention system

both treats asylum seekers fairly

and protects our national security.

The department enforces stringent assessment processes.

And whilst those processes are being undertaken,

mandatory detention is necessary.

Before we go in, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Yes?

Can you confirm that an Australian citizen

has been illegally detained in Barton?

What's he saying?

Sofie Werner is an Australian flight attendant

who has been a missing person for several months.

There's an Australian citizen in there?

Sofie Werner, unfortunately,

was wrongfully identified

- as an unlawful non-citizen. - She's still in there?

I can confirm that she's been transferred

to Kildara Psychiatric Hospital

and she's receiving treatment.

This is ridiculous.

How long was she detained for?

Are there any other Australians in there?

... informations do you have about Sofie Werner?

Does your minister know about this?

Were the department going to reveal this?

Take the dictionary, Mina-jan.

In it are all the words you will ever need

to write to me about your magnificent life.

You have everything ahead of you, my beautiful girl.

You must embrace it all.

That is what you must promise me.

And I will promise you

that I will find you again, my Mina-jan.

... Pedar-jan.

English, Mina-jan.

I will wait forever for you, Pedar-jan.

We've gotta go.

Put him in Tango with the single men.

I am so, so sorry.

Go on.

Can we get a statement?

Ms Werner, Ms Werner!

Sofe.

Sofie, it's Margot.

Sofie.

Thank God you're home.
