All language subtitles for Episode 02 The Flare

Who was Clarry working for, Carole?

You know, if I could pull
the trigger, I would.

The shit that Clarry
was caught up in

was from the
Westside Trucking yard.

Some bloke called Dylan
was giving him a hard time.

Say what you like,
I didn't cut his head off.

Who said anything about Clarry
having his head chopped off?

Simon.

You two know each other?

Jay's my ex-husband.

So, when did you get
out of the force?

It's my cousin Zoe.
Missing, say she disappeared.

You don't think so?

This dig is of world
historical significance.

We are trying to rewrite history.
Your history.

I don't need you or anyone else
trying to dig it up,

write about it or put it
in a new museum.

Huh!

So, we can just put it here?

Just here?
Yeah, here is good.

Good.

Thank you, Jessica.
See you at breakfast.

OK.

Cuppa?

You have a good day, Dad.

Hey, that's a good roo tail there.

You have a good day too, sis.

What happened to you last night?

Let's go.

You should learn to
stand up for yourself.

This is family business.
I'll fix it.

Family business never gets fixed.

What are we doing here?

When Clarry separated from his ex,
this is where he set up camp.

How'd you get a warrant
on the weekend?

Whoa. What is that smell?

Oh, mate.

He owes money.

Coke debt, gambling debt.

How do you know?

Or he likes movies.
Well, he sold his TV.

Jay Swan.
Where the hell are you?

I can't keep this bloke here
without a charge.

Use your imagination.
What did you just say?

Listen, you don't...

Whoa.

Look at this.

Do you think this is a joint
where a man might lose his wages?

Hey, Suzi. Mind if we have a word?

If you must.

Recognise this fella?

Oh, he's a nice bloke.

Like a punt?

Why do you ask?

Just trying to build a profile.

Oh, he used to be chronic.

Had himself barred from here
a dozen times.

Recently, he's come good.
Does he owe anyone money?

What kind of trouble is he?

He's dead.

It wasn't just an accident.

Sorry. I don't know anything.

Did he ever talk about
a fulla named Dylan?

If you're not ordering a drink,
I'm busy.

So, he doesn't know Dylan Lindwall?

Look, I got a hundred hairy cowboys
to look after and a bar to run.

I told you I'm busy.

Just answer the question.

So, what's it gonna be?

I'll have some
salt and vinegar chips.

I didn't have breakfast.

What now?
Oh!

You startled me.

That spot there always been there?

Yeah. Since day one.

Look new to me.

Uh... unless it was when the
protesters knocked everything down.

I had to reset the pegs.

I thought you was finished digging.

Yeah, it looked that way, but I
found a new area worth exploring,

so with the big tide coming,
I need to get stuck in while I can.

Cup of tea?

Have a yarn, or what?
Perfect.

I... I can get you a chair.
No, no, you're right.

So, how long you gonna be?

I don't know, until I'm finished.

Let me get you a chair.
Better than that box.

Nah, nah, you're right.

Look out, you need to
stay out of the sun.

You've gone all red.

How do you take it?
Black.

Black.

I was trying to get him talking.

Right after you told her
that Clarry was dead.

I was being good cop-bad cop.
I was being the good...

Yeah, I know which cop you were.

Words spoken about a person
who's still alive, that's gossip.

When they're dead, that's evidence.
People don't like giving evidence.

I'm sorry.

Look.

Saw Clarry Tuesday night.

In the bushes
down near the waterhole.

He was getting a flogging
from these two white fullas.

One I knew, the one that you said,
Dylan.

The one who says he's a war hero.

The other one?

I couldn't see. It was too dark.

But I tell you this much,
they weren't mucking around.

Can I speak to your partner
that you were with that night?

He wasn't my partner.

What were you doing in the bushes?

What do you think happens
in the bushes at night, girl?

Veteran's Affairs.

I'm looking for the service history
of a former soldier.

Dylan Lindwall.

Yeah, I can hold.

Nice.

Good job.

When did you leave the army?

I can tell by the way
you hold yourself.

Your bearing.

You in the sandpit?

Yeah, had two tours. '08 and '12.

Ooh, tough years.

Mm. Tell me about it.

Constable Davis.

Interview in progress
with Dylan Lindwall.

It's October 13th, 1:28pm.

Detective Swan and Constable Davis
present.

Returning to your statement,

you said you were home
that night watching...

porn.

Yeah.

Any witnesses to this viewing?

Well, next time I'll have you over.

Home all evening?

Mm.

You didn't go out
and stretch your legs?

Answer the question
into the microphone.

Oh.

No, I did not go out
to stretch my legs.

Because we've got a witness
who puts you at Carter's waterhole.

Us whitefellas,
we all look the same.

And that same witness
identified you by name.

Mm? Yeah?

Who?
And you weren't alone.

You were with a mate.

And you and this mate were
assaulting Clarry Stewart

while he was lying on the ground.

Oh, that's bullshit.

Just like your army career,
hey, Dylan?

You got a chronic ear infection in
Townsville and they discharged you.

You never served overseas.

But you don't mind people thinking
that you did. You're a liar.

So, why don't you tell me
who you were with that night?

Chips making you thirsty?

Is it your boss from
the trucking company?

Mr Lindwall won't be answering
any more questions.

Come with me.
Owen?

We've already held him for 12 hours
on the possession charge.

Wait outside.

There's nothing we can do.
You're fucking useless, Owen.

I'm following protocol, Detective.

Can I take these?

How'd the lawyer even know
we had him locked up?

Small town.

Who is this mob?

Calls himself Alkemi.
Real name is Tony Pearce.

He's a former soldier,
but the real deal.

You know, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Solomons.

Story is that after his last tour,
he had some sort of a breakdown.

Came up here to find himself.

Bought an old cattle farm,
Gideon Downs, did it up.

Then he got into the pearl business,
made a lot of money,

started employing a lot of people...

you know, wielding a lot of
power around here.

Why would a pearl farmer
pay for the legals

of an employee of a trucking yard?

Dunno.

Just a dumb local cop.

Thanks.

What am I doing here?

Everything will
make sense soon. Just wait.

But...

Tie him up.

Hey, you mob!

Hello.

What you doing there, bub?

I'm colouring.

Oh, that is really good.

Thank you.
You had a feed yet?

Nah.

What about you? Are you hungry?
I'm fine.

Hey... do you think you could
look after Ava tonight?

Yeah.

Are you catching up with a friend?

You don't know him.

Does he work at the pearl farm?

Oh, classy.

I won't be late.

Is that your mum?

That's not my mum.

Mary's an old friend. She's just
looking after us for a while.

So...

tell us who killed Clarry.

I don't know.

I don't know.

He reckons he doesn't know.

Tony, I don't know.

I don't know, Tony.

No. Tony, no. I don't know anything!

I don't know anything!

No. No, no, no, no.

Don't.

Tony! No... no.

No, you don't have to do this.
You don't have to do it.

No.

So, do I get an explanation?

Well, I wasn't sure if you'd be free,
being a weekend and all.

You're unbelievable.

So, him being a cop's alright.
What, 'cause he's white?

Are you gonna play that card?

Did you know he was a cop
before you...

Why are you here, Jay?
Why'd you pick this case?

You've got 800 miles of coastline
to choose and you lob up here.

Because I got a tip that meth
was being run through this town.

The same network as up north.

And that the boss of it all
was gonna be here as well.

Now, that tip turned into a murder,
alright?

A drug revenge murder.
And you think it's this mob?

Well, I don't know.

But the bloke who got murdered,
he used to work in this yard,

so it seemed like
a pretty good place to start.

So, did you know that I was in town?

Would it matter?

It seems to matter
when you get in trouble

and you call me,
not your new partner.

I've got to go.

See, I got a little girl at home
alone. Does that sound familiar?

Detective.

What are you doing here?

I'm just walking.

Did you get that business
with the portaloo sorted out?

Oh, yeah, we reached an arrangement.

So...

You OK?

You seem a little shaken.

You haven't been threatened,
have you? 'Cause I need to know.

It's more a crisis of faith.

What's the worst thing
you've ever done, Detective?

Is there something
you want to tell me?

Give it to him. Smash him.

Go on. Give it to him!

Give it to him. Give it to him!

Come on. Yep, that's him.

Yep, you got him. That's him.

Yes.

You got him.
Cut it out, you two.

You got him. That's him.

Smash him, cuz. Give it to him.

Hey!

Shit.

Oh, Shaney. Shaney. He's got me,
man! He's gonna kill me!

Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy.
Take it easy.

Just take it easy.

Thanks. Thanks for
getting him off me, man.

What are you taking?

You wanna get high?

Yeah, I do. What have you got?

Eh? Little reds, man.

Yeah, brahs. Yeah, brahs.
It's the shit.

Have you got any on you now?

Yeah, man. Yeah.

In my back pocket.
Arm's not working.

Go. Here, check.
In your back pocket?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man. Oh...

Oh, yeah.

Um... see you later.

Bye-bye. Mm?

Hey! Where have you been?

Everywhere.

Want a drink?
No, I'm good.

What about a pill?

What?
A pill.

Let's go.

Whoo!

This was awesome!

They're from Indonesia.
What are they?

They're deadly. Trust me.

Come on.

What's in that box?

Seen the way you was looking at it.

Now, you talk about permission,
that permission is me.

You find something here,
you show me.

What did you find?

I was waiting until the right moment.

This is going to make our name.

Mm.
This justifies the entire dig.

Limestone?
Mm.

Under the microscope there
were plant fibres, seeds,

blood, bone, as well as ochre.

Yeah. What else are you hiding here?
No.

What about this one?
No, no, no.

What's in the bag there?

It's got nothing to do with
the work we're doing here.

I didn't even know it was there.

Eh! You get that thing away from me!

Look... look...

That's big trouble. Big trouble,
that one. That one's sorry business.

Look... Look, look, look, Amos.

Amos... Amos...

a few weeks won't matter, will it?

As soon as the dig is over, I'll
hand it in to the place, I promise.

Hey, the dig is over.
No more. Finished.

No, no, no, no.
Amos, we can't shut it down.

This is tragic, I know, but,
please, we've worked so hard.

Somebody put that there.
You don't muck around with this one.

This find puts this dig site

amongst the oldest in the world.

We're talking deep time, here.

Nah.
Think about...

the funding for projects
this will bring to the community.

The attention.

Gideon will be on the map.

And all because of what we did here.

Hey, Mook-Mook. Where's
the big man protector?

What's this?
It's roo stew.

You touch me again, it will
be you who goes in the pot.

Morning.

It's afternoon actually.

Oh, come in, then.

My aunty had a place like this.

Same paint job, anyways.

Oh, here.

Got you this.
What is it?

Did you steal this?

Sorry.

Oh, thank you.

Where's the bedroom? I wanna see it.

Mary's at work.

Back at four.
Oh.

What's the time now?

Who cares?
Yeah?

Hey, bub.

How was school today?
Good.

We did painting.

I can see. Go clean that off, bubby.

Hey. Thanks for picking her up.

Yeah.
I felt a bit sick.

What did you get up to?
Just chilled.

OK.

Another boong copper, eh?

Give it here.

Get him up.

Yeah.

Aarggh!

Piss off.

Oh!

What were you doing there?

Came to have a chat.

You got anything to drink?

Didn't take you long
to make some enemies.

Some people don't need a reason
to take a swing at a cop.

Yeah, I remember.

You do mostly drug crime, right?

I made some calls.

There's meth labs out in the bush
here. Everyone knows it.

Bikies go where the meth is.
Same in the city as it is here.

You think meth's behind that murder?

You're the one doing all the talking.

Alright, fair enough.

I was the same when
I was on the job.

But I can be a resource to you, Jay.

Alright.

Look, are we ever gonna talk
about Mary?

Nah.

I left my bag there, didn't I?

No drama. Wanna meet up?

I'll give it to you.

Can you just keep it there?
I'll text you later.

OK.

Oh!

Oh, dear God.

Hey, look out.

Anyone I know?

Old man.

You love them crab, eh?

Got more?
Yeah, maybe.

What can you tell me about
that Alkemi mob, their farm?

Ooh, don't go asking questions
about that bloke. Nah, boy, nah.

But Alkemi's farm, it used to be,
like, cattle stations, yeah?

That one, all them.

One against the other,
all along that coast.

Why are you asking questions?
Just curious.

You want to get in there, eh?

Low tide, go along the beach.

Little track there, too.

I used to take my womans up there
for a picnic.

Shh.

That track take you right there.

You can see those Robinsons
up there.

Why am I getting out?

I need you to get everything
you can on Alkemi,

the pearl farm and Gideon Downs.

While you conduct an illegal search
for a drug lab?

Dad!

Telle.

Go back inside.

Estelle!

You got some cheek
coming to my property.

You gonna tell me what you've
got in these boxes?

I don't have to tell you jack shit.

You've no reason to be trespassing.

Be careful, there's a television
station in that box.

You know the first thing
that happens

under a dictatorship, Detective?

Illegal searches.

And the second thing, they dismantle
the state broadcaster.

That's what happened to a country
not so far from me.

They took away the people's voice

and they became prey to ignorance

and the lies of foreign companies.

Who did you steal this off?

Who said I stole it?
It's a gift of freedom.

I'm taking it in.
No, you're not.

I don't see a warrant, so...

Come on!

Phillip, what is going on?

Just talk to me.

You left drugs in my house.

My daughter could have found that.
Did you even think of that?

Phillip.

What is going on?

What?

Bring the bag here.

Don't fuck me around, Shevorne.

Now!

Aarggh!

So, what time was this?

Early.

Six.

I heard the car pull up
and later I found this.

Take a look.

We found the remains of a body...

in a bag at the church.

Recent?

I think I know who it is.

It's my cousin Zoe.

Keep going.

- That will do.
- Oh, fuck, he's heavy.

Where's he go? Put it there?
Nah, put it in the hip.

So, I was 17 when she went missing.

I know you give a shit.

We need to get Forensics down here.

Your girl's in Sydney, yeah? And
your wife's here in town, isn't she?

You just made a big mistake.

Why do you want me to stop?

'Cause you fucked up.

You're gone tomorrow
or I'll come for you.

I keep my head down because it's
better than getting it kicked in.
