Track to waypoint FOXLO,
RNAV uniform approach, runway 3-5.

Descend to 6000.

Oz Air 804, tracking to waypoint FOXLO,
RNAV uniform approach 3-5.

Descending to 6000.

Oz Air 804, reduce to not above
207 knots indicated.

Oz Air 804, report level.

Oz Air 804... [radio static]

804, Canberra approach radio check.
If you read me, squawk intent.

Velocity 629. Traffic alert.
I have lost contact with that aircraft.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello? What is it?

I'm picking him up on the way in.

The airport is only ten minutes away.
Don't worry. I'll be there. Thanks.

Oh, I'm picking up my wayward son
from the airport.

-He's been suspended for setting fires.
-Mal.

I don't wanna know.

[David] Yes? Yes?

I've been asked to stop.

I'm in the shit
if I don't meet this plane.

-Will you do this pick up for me?
-Certainly.

Thanks, mate.

We're under attack.

[Hartzig] At 0700 air traffic control
at Canberra Airport

lost contact with Oz Flight 804.
We were summoned here.

National Operations Center
was put on standby.

804 came within a bee's dick
of an outgoing jet,

but the situation righted itself.
We hoped it was a glitch.

Five minutes ago, Canberra's entire
communication system went down.

-Have we got a link to the PM in Tokyo?
-We're working on it.

We understand,
but it's a matter of urgency.

Can you try a different system?
We need to get through to him.

-I need to see the radar.
-It's a closed system.

Now.

ASD accessing
Advanced Air Traffic System now.

-How long before you're in?
-We can't get through to the PM.

National Operations have taken control
of the situation.

There are five planes heading in to land,
eight in Canberra airspace.

There's no way to talk to them.

-We assume the system's been hacked.
-Yep.

-Is this China?
-A viable possibility.

We can't discount al Qaeda.

-North Korea--
-Speculation is no help.

It could be homegrown.
Though they haven't tripped alerts.

-We've had no warning.
-For chrissakes, we know who it is.

-We killed one of their sailors.
-The visuals are coming through.

[Mal] Is this one of the affected flights?

-[man] I can't say.
-Yeah.

We need to take precautions in case
this is a precursor for a physical attack.

-We should raise the alert to Echo.
-[Ludie] What if it's a glitch?

Activating Echo's gonna cost
hundreds of thousands.

-It's troops redeployed, jets mobilized.
-Cairns has gone.

Contingencies are in place.

Aircraft on approach will land
according to their flight plan.

Those in the air will go into
a prearranged holding pattern

designed to keep them apart.

If everyone sticks to plan,
there is no risk.

What if they don't stick to plan?

-[Ludie] Why haven't we got to the PM?
-Satellite trouble in Tokyo.

-Can you keep trying?
-Can we access Defense comms?

We're checking
if Townsville can take over Cairns.

-Williamtown range is too short.
-Richmond Air Base?

All air traffic controllers
were redeployed from there.

What? Who ordered that?

We got into Canberra air traffic control.
There's definite unusual activity there.

-Unusual activity?
-They hacked the flight planning system.

-They've got control of communications.
-Can we stop it?

That's the plan.

Yeah, okay, I'm in. Thanks.

-What's he doing here?
-I asked for him.

-[Moreton] Morning.
-Ambassador.

Whatever you need, you let me know.

I'm linked to General Wallace
in Washington.

What about Navy radio comms?

They're all deployed
and don't have the range.

-They've taken out Sydney.
-[Ludie] What?

[shudders]

All right, let's raise Echo alert.

Enact Safebase Echo.

Safebase Echo, immediate updates.
Safebase Echo.

You need to get through
to the PM immediately.

Felix, it's me.

-You okay?
-I've broken several laws,

most of which
carry a potential jail sentence.

I'm gonna talk to Gus.

I'll get the paper's lawyers on that
and anything else you need.

Felix, I'm so sorry.
If I'd known it was stolen intelligence--

I knew what I was getting into.

-Well--
-I'm just sorry I couldn't crack it.

I really wanted to.

I just wanted to impress you.

-Did I impress you?
-Yeah, very much.

Goodbye, Harriet.

Goodbye.

-Nine minutes.
-No sign of a physical attack?

[man 1] Cairns is under limited
military air traffic control.

Three flights are safely down
in Canberra,

six in Sydney and 37 are holding.

How long can they do that
with limited fuel supplies?

-At least 20 minutes.
-We have a trace. It's going through TOR.

In English, please.

Onion routing. TOR encrypts data.
You see it going in,

it comes out somewhere else,
can't track it.

So, whoever it is,
is still out there controlling us.

-What else are they planning?
-What's happening? What is that?

Air New Zealand 101 into Sydney
set off an emergency code 7700.

-They're diverting from holding.
-Why?

We don't know without comms.

Mechanical emergency, fire.
They're coming to land.

You said there'd be no risk
if they followed protocol.

Yeah, correct.

Most of the airliners are fitted
with TCAS,

an automatic system that communicates
jet to jet to avoid collision.

Not the under-23 seaters,

three of which are in holding,
including that one.

We're attempting mobile contact
with the pilots.

-Will they see each other?
-Sydney's under heavy cloud.

We have to shut those bastards down!

We're counterattacking.
They're evading us.

-We're doing everything we can.
-Do more!

We cannot lose it.

-We've lost the trace.
-No mobile contact with those pilots?

[Moreton]
All right, ministers, I just got word.

Our Coast Guard's ice breaker
Polar Star is in Sydney Harbor.

It's fitted with a complete set
of high-power VHF radios.

I can't guarantee
it's enough range, but--

Do it. Patch them through.

[man 2] United States Coast Guard Ship
Polar Star to Air New Zealand Flight 101

and Regional Express 454.

Polar Star to New Zealand Flight 101
and Regional Express 454, do you read me?

Polar Star to New Zealand Flight 101
and Regional Express 454, do you read me?

[man 3] Polar Star, New Zealand 101,
read you loud and clear.

[man 2] New Zealand 101, we're patched in
and relaying instructions.

Traffic to your right, 4 o'clock.

[man 3] New Zealand 101
descending to 5000.

[man 2] New Zealand 101,
what is your emergency?

[man 3] Cargo fire indication.
Require immediate approach.

[man 2] Your emergency is acknowledged.
Runway 3-4 left has been cleared

and you are clear for ILS
Zulu approach.

[man 3] Roger. ILS Zulu approach.
Runway 3-4 left.

Is it over?

It's over.

-[sighs]
-[McAuliffe] 0754.

Thirteen fucking minutes.

We have the prime minister.

Give me the latest.

[clearing throat]

-[McAuliffe] Background.
-[coughing]

Control at Canberra Airport
temporarily lost contact with Oz Air 804.

[Mal sighing]

[Mal coughing]

Oh, fuck.

I've spent the last hour flying
around in circles with nothing inside me

but a packet of nuts
and three cups of a noxious beverage.

So, whichever one of you bastards
is planning on giving me the shits today,

I advise that you hold off
until after lunch.

A word, Harriet.

The fact that ASD was so keen
to get their hands on that SIM

is reason enough
to not drop this story.

There's a government agency involved,
a minister involved.

We do not know how high this goes.

Management want you out.

-What?
-You specifically defied me.

Ignored my advice
and went ahead with the decryption.

Now you and your fuck buddy

have pissed off
every intelligence agency in the country.

I told Felix
that he could use our lawyers.

Yeah, of course, he can. And why?
Because we're responsible.

Correction, you're responsible.

Because I made the ill-considered
decision 15 years ago

of recommending you for a job,
we all have to wear the shit

that seems to trail after you.

-So, am I sacked?
-No.

I managed to convince them
your access to Diane Hobbs

makes you valuable to the company.

At least for now.

[Gus sighs]

If I break the Dalgetty story,
they won't care how I did it.

We blocked all access,
tightened the firewalls,

whitelisted known machines,
have real-time threat monitoring.

-And will that keep them out?
-Nobody can guarantee that.

We're recalling air traffic controllers
on leave, civilian and military,

and placing VHF stations
near all major airports.

-If it happens again, we've got backup.
-This wasn't an attack. It was a message.

A shot across the bow. Muscle flexing.
Showing us what they're capable of.

If they wanted to do real damage,
they could've had 747s doing loops.

I don't find that reassuring.
Have we confirmed where it came from?

-I've got my people on it. We're tracing.
-All right.

-No planes till we know.
-That's not your call.

It is when it involves
Defense personnel and equipment.

What will we tell the public?

There's outcry with basic delays,
let alone the entire nation grounded.

Nondisclosure is standard
in national security.

It was a technical issue.

-That's being resolved.
-When's the PM back?

He's cutting short his engagement.
He'll be home tomorrow.

Your son's here.

[Mal] Thanks, Ronnie.

-His son was on one of the planes.
-What?

On the manifest for Flight 257.

[Vaughn] He should've declared
a conflict of interest.

He shouldn't have even been
in the room.

Though I think we're all glad that he was.

Morning, Dylan.
Sorry I couldn't make the airport.

Happy you're here, mate.
We got time for a quick coffee?

[sighs]

How are you going, mate?

What's up? Cat got your tongue?

Oh, great to see you, too, Dad.

Thanks for letting me come,
getting Mum off my back.

You want me to lick your arse?

Haven't you got enough people doing that?
Must be shiny as.

All right. Café's down the hall.
Steak sandwich is usually reliable.

-Tell Ronnie if you need anything.
-I'm a vegan!

It's everything I've put together
for the China Paxton story.

You probably don't need it anymore,
but...

The PM's cut short Japan.
I wanna know why.

Not you. Harriet.

-I can do it.
-I want Harriet to do it.

It's okay, I got it.

You've got something?

ASD thinks we've located
the originating IP address.

Activity traced at the first blip at 0700.

-Where's that?
-Pudong, Shanghai.

That's the location of Unit 61398.
People's Liberation Army cyber unit.

You were in Beijing recently,
that security conference.

Does any of this ring true?

There's no way of knowing for sure
what China's cyber capabilities are.

It's safe to say
they are way ahead of the game.

We've got a warship in the region.
They know that.

Well, let's find out. Let's call in Dhao.

Hey, Ludie, what's going on?

As you can see, Miss Dunkley,
I'm drinking my coffee.

[chuckles] Well, the defense chief's here.

Toohey's been called back.
Something's going on.

It must be so frustrating not to know.

[cell phone ringing]

Yes?

I said get it done now,
not some time in the next millennium.

Yes. Yes, I understand
but this is clearly a priority and...

Hey.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Thought I saw your car
in the PM's courtyard.

Were you at the meeting with McAuliffe
and Wheeler?

[chuckles]

Kim always said you were a terrier.

I need to know about Felix.
What will happen to him?

Is he gonna go to jail?

Well, to be honest,
they might not even prosecute.

To do that, ASD would have to admit
to a breach of security

and questions surrounding
a senior analyst's murder.

It's a can of worms
they don't wanna open.

You, on the other hand...

you would be a notch on their belt.

Take care, Harriet. I mean it.

Hey, Sasha. Walk with me.

Something's going on in the PM's office.
The courtyard's full of brass.

Do you know Hot Todd

-in the PM's media office?
-Yep.

Can you go and flirt with him?

See if you can find out
who's coming and going.

-You know I have a girlfriend?
-Yeah, but he doesn't know that.

Okay, off you go. Thank you.

I don't know.

[Harriet] Cassie.

Hey.

I-- I've got to speak to somebody else
in the group.

Somebody who knew Kevin
or Max Dalgetty.

No one wants to talk.

Somebody sold Kevin out.

I think that he is in serious danger.

Now I might be able to help him
but I need your help to do that.

Harriet!

-I'll see what I can do.
-Thank you.

I, um, spoke to Sabine again.

-Oh, fantastic. How are you holding up?
-I'm good.

-[Harriet] Yeah?
-[Hobbs] Yes.

Come on, Todd.
The PM still had a scheduled meeting

with the Japanese trade minister
and two industry functions.

There's got to be a reason
he's cutting it short.

Look, I don't know anything, Sasha.
You're wasting your time.

Shit.

[cell phone buzzing]

Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Yeah, yeah, they're here now.

Just, um...

-That's not for publication!
-Thanks, Todd. You're awesome!

[cell phone ringing]

Yes.

Yes, I'll see you there.

Ambassador.
We have a link to the prime minister.

I just want to know
what's in Bailey's diary today.

Like what's she doing now?

If she wanted to talk to you,
she's got your number.

Can I just see her diary?

[groans]

Give me a break.
I've been here since the crack of dawn.

So, was Bailey at the meeting
with McAuliffe?

Okay, so who else was there?
Like what other agencies?

Here, I've got like a list of names.

I heard ASD.

Signals?

What, are we talking about
some kind of security threat?

[Catriona] Ebony!

I'm dying for a cigarette.

You know where I'll be.

If you reveal me as your source,
I'll deny it.

And I'll sue your paper for defamation.

I mean, crush it.

I think I have 90 percent.

The plane delays clogging social media,
Toohey rushes back from Japan,

Defense and Intelligence
in the Situation Room.

-Ninety percent.
-Yeah.

Maybe you don't need me.
Or maybe you do.

This story just might save your job.

Your managing director
is an old mate of mine from uni.

But I'd still sue.
He's not that good a mate.

What happened this morning?

This needs to go out today,
big and wide.

Online, links to social media. Yeah.

Australia's air traffic control
came under attack

from China's cyber terrorism unit.

We lost communications
from three airports.

Here, Cairns, and Sydney.

For 13 minutes, we had absolutely
no contact with any planes,

nor the capacity to keep them safe.

So, why is the government saying
that it's a technical glitch?

You've got your story.

Now, excuse me.

I have to go and tell my assistant
to clear out her desk.

No, she didn't tell me anything
that I didn't know already.

In my office, I'm the only one who talks.
She knew that.

[elevator dings]

Malcolm.

You were fucking me this morning.
You knew my son was in the air.

You still went ahead with it.

-It wasn't us.
-That's bullshit.

It's been traced to Shanghai.

And who told you that?

The same people who leaked
that photograph?

Who are trying
to destroy your career?

How long have you known about it?
What else are you planning?

Forget it.

I don't expect you to tell me anything,
but I don't expect to be used either.

You're being used?

I knew this was a bad idea.

You came back to me.

I'd closed that door
and you opened it again.

Well, I'm closing it... for good.

You can't even see
what's right in front of you.

I can now.

The Chinese ambassador's wife.

You knew each other in Beijing.

Well, since you're asking, yes.

She was a translator.

She was one of many
and that was over 20 years ago.

And you can't catch up on old times
over coffee at Ozzie's?

You writing for New Idea now?
Heh. Gossip and innuendo?

I don't give a shit about what you do
in your private life.

But there are a few things
that I do want to know.

An ASD agent, Kim Gordon,

was killed investigating a murdered
anti-China activist

who called himself Max Dalgetty.

Dalgetty knew something.

Kim was killed for the same thing
and I want to know what it was.

This could be construed
as an attempt to blackmail

in exchange for classified information.

I'm just looking for the truth.

Well, you do your worst, Harriet.
You've got nothing.

An old photograph from 20 years ago,
an accidental meeting?

This is Canberra
and no one's gonna run with it.

This isn't just a story for me.
I don't give a shit who gets hurt.

[door opens]

[in Chinese]
I have a headache.

I have just been humiliated.
Called to heel like a dog to its master.

Close the curtains, please.

Who ordered this?

Diplomacy is being sabotaged
by aggression.

I'm going to recommend a response.

[in English] No.

You don't have the authorization for that.

We didn't initiate this
but it's not in our interest to react.

You'll see that this is the way
we need to play it.

We could stop all this
if we just repatriated the Hobbs girl.

-We can't do that.
-We gain nothing by keeping her.

And we are risking a relationship
it has taken 40 years to--

She's already here.

What?

Then why am I under daily pressure
from this government?

This isn't between governments.

It's not even between agencies.

It's deeper than that.

[Sasha] Holy crap!

Oh, for fuck's sake.

[Gus] Not bad.

I think you've just got a reprieve.
All the TV dailies want you.

Sky News is sending a crew.

[phones ringing]

Can you do it for me, Gus?

I've got another lead,
I don't want to waste any time.

I always thought this face
was wasted in print.

Answer your fucking phones, people.

Daily Nation.

[cell phone ringing]

Cassie?

-You didn't tell anyone about this?
-No.

-Harriet Dunkley.
-Qiu.

[Harriet] Hi.

-The black car?
-Yeah.

It turned off.

I know that Max Dalgetty
was in your group.

I think that he was in possession
of information that got him killed.

My best friend had that same information
and now she's dead, too.

I know about Kevin.

Whatever Max was doing when he died,

whatever the group's into,
it's not a secret anymore.

Please. Kevin hasn't replied
to any of my messages since he left.

I know he would if he could.

-Max Dalgetty was part of the group, yes.
-Okay, so what is the group?

Chinese students and others

committed to exposing
human-rights abuses in Tibet

against Falun Gong and the Uyghurs,

the squashing of dissent,
of freedom of speech.

How were you doing that?

We were communicating with activists
within China gathering evidence

and sometimes, infiltrating.

But hacking?

Max was a Darknet expert.

He created a network
so we could communicate with each other

and with the mainland activists.

He was very gifted.

-What about Sabine Hobbs?
-Her protest was part of a plan.

Protests all over the world.
Big ones.

People cannot ignore that.

Do you know what Max was doing
when he died?

Did he hack into something?

Did he--?
Do you know what he found?

-Max was meeting Mae Lin that night.
-The lady from the embassy?

I met with her and then she disappeared.
I lost contact.

They had something big.

I had organized to rout it through TOR,
send it to all the major media.

You were on the list.

I think we're being followed.
It's the same car from the pick-up.

We lost them. How did they find us?

Oh, they're tracking my car.

You go. Take the stairs.

I'm gonna try and draw him away.

I need to see you again at 3 p.m.
at the medical research building.

And text me when you're safe!

It's the same guy from the Paxton photo.

Zheng Zhou.
He was on Kim's watch list.

This is Chinese built. Classic MSS.

-So, how long has he been tracking me?
-It's impossible to tell.

They don't store information,
they only transmit it.

Kim.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit, shit, shit.

He was following me the night Kim died.
I've gotta go.

-Well, you can't know for sure.
-I have to go. I gotta go.

[man on tv]
Anger is building against China

in the wake of the cyber-attack. We...

I've got to go in early today, mate.

-Pretty heavy shit.
-[Mal] Oh, yes, there will be a response.

It will be a proportionate response,
not be a kneejerk reaction.

It will come after careful deliberation
by Cabinet

with a view to all possible implications.

[tv turns off]

-So, I'm not gonna be around much today.
-Country to run. Got it.

Now you can hang here,

or I can get the car
to drop you off in the city.

Come on, you can see what's happening.

Even if you come in with me,
I won't see you.

-It will be boring.
-Life is boring.

[buzzer buzzes]

All right. That's the driver.
You've got two minutes.

Righty-o.
Well, let's talk about this later.

Okay, bye.

Jai wants me to ask you
if it was an inside job.

-Was what an inside job? Who's Jai?
-My friend. The cyber-attack.

He thinks our government brought down
our air traffic control systems?

Yeah, like 9/11 and the CIA

so they could justify
invading Afghanistan.

The French government
behind the shootings at Charlie Hebdo.

Right. Well, Jai's an idiot.

You are, too, if you buy
into that conspiracy bullshit.

Hey, you're not an idiot, okay?
Sorry, mate, you're not an idiot.

Okay.

Is that what you really think, though,
about this government?

No, you're all right.
Doing an all right job.

High praise indeed. Thanks.

[chuckles]

Jai is an idiot, though.

He set the science lab on fire.
I wasn't even there.

-Yeah, how did that happen, that fire?
-Thought he could cook meth.

[chuckles]

-You want to grab coffees?
-Sure.

See you in there.

-Morning, Ronnie.
-Morning.

Can I get a list of everyone who was
in that situation room yesterday, please?

And Hartzig.
Get me Hartzig on the line now.

It'd make sense that Kim wasn't killed
at Mount Pleasant.

-There's inconsistencies in the report.
-Thank you for helping me with this.

It's the first solid lead
you've given me on anything.

What? What is it?

I don't know for sure, but...

it could be that she was on her way
to see you and someone cut her off.

Blocked her.

And maybe she tried to go past it.

Or over it.

There's skid marks. Broken branches.

This could be the place she was attacked.

We should see this as an opportunity.

The cyber-attack?

Safer Australia.

Go to Cabinet
with a next generation satellite,

bolster our capability in line
with the enhanced powers.

That would be a big payday for Defense.

Well, the department appreciates
a minister who can bring home the bacon.

You know, up until this morning,

I would've thought Safer Australia
was dead in the water.

But now with this cyber-attack
all over the news,

suddenly, we've got a big leak
we need to plug.

Mm. I assume investigations are underway.

You know what I find interesting?

What are the chances
that just before a massive attack

on our air traffic control systems,

all of the trained staff
at a nearby air base are redeployed?

-Unavailable?
-There would have been good reasons.

And then there's the Polar Star.

Two days ago, on its way
to the Antarctic base on a supply mission,

it's recalled to Sydney Harbor,
no discernible reason.

Orders from the highest level--

I can't comment
on U.S. operational matters.

-You think we were very lucky?
-I think so.

Maybe I should get myself
a lottery ticket.

Maybe you should, too.

Thank you, general.

[cell phone beeps]

[door opens]

Hello, mate.
How'd you go with McAuliffe?

You picked it. He was walking
into the attorney general's office.

That is a good result.
Can you text that to me?

What do you need it for?

Well, I will tell you about that
in a long, long time from now.

-I was thinking...
-Uh-oh.

Maybe I could go to school here.

-They don't want me back at Joey's.
-Well, they will when they find out

it was Walter White
who burned that lab down, not you.

I'll call them.

Oh, Dylan, mate,
you see what it's like for me here. I'm--

I'm never home. I work 24/7.
I live on pizza and red wine.

It just wouldn't be practical.

Sure, I get it.

I think I'll go into town.
Can I have some money?

Yeah. Sure.

[clearing throat]

Thanks.

[phone ringing]

I've gotta take this.

I'll see you later, yeah?

Hello?

Yeah, look I can do the 3:30, but--

Tell him I'll call on approach and...

I didn't get that.

Can you send it through again?

[Dylan] Hey, Mum, it's me.
I'm coming home early today.

[grunting]

Uh, Cassie, it's Harriet.
Uh, Qiu hasn't shown up.

Can you give me a call when you get this?
I'm worried.

[cell phone beeps]

[Toohey]
Never again do we want to see an attack

like the one we saw
in this country yesterday.

The security breach has highlighted
the need for one body

to coordinate military
and domestic intelligence services.

Today, I'm announcing the creation
of the Safer Australia Agency,

to be headed by the attorney general.

Safer Australia will gather information
from all of the other agencies,

including ASD, ASIS, ASIO
and the Australian Federal Police.

Connected to our closest allies

through the Five Eyes
international arrangement,

Safer Australia will ensure that no threat

to our nation's security
will go undetected.

Safer Australia Agency will retain keys
for all encrypted communications

within Australia
and in and out of the country.

No one who is planning to do harm
will be able to hide.

It will be an offense to report or publish

any information identified by the agency
