A civilian aircraft is targeted.

Someone's shooting missiles
over there.

Creech, confirm targets
are in possession of missiles

with similar specs as the one
used in the BM-24 strike.

We cannot confirm these guys
shot down that plane.

We've confirmed they've got missiles,
they've cracked APEC's comms

and the President is in range.

I'm acting on that.

Enough of the cloak-and-dagger.
What the fuck is going on?

They can't smell a rat.

I know this isn't what
you had planned for your career.

Sometimes we gotta make sacrifices.

GUS: And I'm making one
for Australia.

No. For America.

Both Deputy Chief Sinclair
and myself feel it's appropriate

that someone from outside
takes over as MD for the interim.

Righto. Let's get down to it,
shall we?

MOSES: I went through the coding.
It wasn't a glitch. It was malware.

Malicious software. Microvirus.

But Pine Gap isn't connected
to the internet.

So whoever put
the code into the server...

They work here.

MALCOLM TURNBULL: It's in our
mutual interest to stand together.

HILLARY CLINTON: I think Australians
need to be for Australians,

Americans need to be for Americans.

PAUL KEATING:
The sacrament of the alliance.

BARACK OBAMA:
Prosperity without freedom

is just another form of poverty.

RONALD REAGAN: Trust, but verify.

MOSES: Only a few of us
have root access to the mainframe

and there have been no unauthorised
log-in attempts down there.

It didn't get in that way.

It got uploaded as a small file

from one of the base's
1,200 computer terminals.

Unfortunately,
unless we get lucky somehow,

I'm gonna have to go through
the root directory

of every single one of them

to find out which one it was and how
it got on there in the first place.

What's news out here?

Just talking politics.

Well, if it's possible to talk
and barbecue

at least we can feed the kids.

(CHUCKLES)

On it.
Don't burn them.

That's how they become carcinogenic.

Thanks.

Nothing to anyone.

The United States continues
to defend the drone strike

on the Bangladeshi rebels,
saying intelligence confirmed

that this small splinter group
claiming to have links with ISIS

was responsible for the downing
of flight BM-24

in which four American citizens
were among the 14 people killed.

It was really shit
what they did to you.

And when they just put
all this pressure on me to stay.

That's what's really pissed me off.

Yeah, but without a formal review,
no assessment of circumstances,

and then it all just
falls back on us

whether we had
a failure of intelligence.

Yeah. Which means I for one have to
find out who shot down that plane.

So, how did your date thing go
the other night?

Oh, God.

OK, so, it was the third time
he'd asked me out,

so I thought it was only fair
I let him know

that if we went much further
he'd have to be vetted by ASIO.

And then that pretty much just
killed any chance of anything -

true love, casual sex,
Facebook friend.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

I'm sorry.

He wasn't really my type anyway.

Hey, uh...

..come join me for a sec.

I wish Alice
had more than three bars.

Come on.

I, um, thought I should
introduce myself properly

and get to know a few of you
one on one.

I'm Jacob Kitto.

Jasmina Del...
Yeah. Delic. Yeah.

COMINT. I remember.

And you're Gus Thompson, yeah?

Hey, um...

..I'm sorry, mate.

I know I'm probably not
your favourite person right now.

You been enjoying yourself here
so far?

I was.

I hear it's a pretty good posting
for you guys.

Pays well, free housing, feather
in your cap - all that stuff.

It's usually a good move.

Except when it's not, though.

Like now.

And what about you? You've
been here, what, three, four weeks?

Three and a half, yeah.

Hey, um...

..I wouldn't have wanted anyone
pausing

or reassessing that strike either,
by the way.

Given that the Shadhinota were
armed, the proximity of the VIPs,

and what they'd already done
to that plane...

We don't think it was them,
actually.

Really?

Are you sure?
We'll know soon.

So, that was the famous Moses, yeah?

Idiot savant, Diogenes-like genius.

And you stay here for 10 years,
that's what happens?

(LAUGHS)

I don't think he was ever normal.

Hey, how's Louis settling in
at kindergarten?

Yeah, he's having a blast.
It's just, uh...

Yeah, it's just left me
a bit on my own is all.

Baby, there are 2,000 Americans
living in this town.

It's a community.
Dozens of other families.

Yeah, but not with young children,
though, Ethan.

Yes, there are lots of singles and
lots of women in their late 50s...

Who are all loving Alice.
They're happy here.

But all the young moms
are back home.

Yeah, but our family's
staying together.

I made that mistake
the first time round.

What about the young Aussie moms?

Sure, we chat, but, you know,
if I get too close,

they end up on a CIA watch list,
which isn't very fair to them.

OK, just start looking, alright?

You'll find something to
keep your mind active.

Such as...?
You like basketball - join a team.

There's always something
happening at the college.

Some public lecture or something.
Start there.

Alice Springs may be small...

..but there's a lot going on.

Or if you knew the Canberra job was
happening I could take the boys.

Belle, this is our home, OK?

Canberra could be months away,
if at all.

We're here now.

Yeah, well, there's being here
and then there's being HERE, Ethan.

Andre has been asking you for weeks
to teach him how to play chess,

but no,
there's always another priority.

Jesus Christ.

It just...

It gets a little boring

when we can't talk about anything
happening at your work.

But you knew that
when we got married.

When we got married I had MY work,

and we lived in a city -
a city of 4 million people.

And I had my friends,
I had my family.

So, I must have missed the bit
about spending the next three years

in the middle of
the Australian outback.

You see, I thought my job
was to carry out

a completely objective investigation

and conclude that there was
no failure of intelligence

and that the Shadhinota really did
shoot down that plane.

Correct.

Well, it's gonna be hard

when we've got a couple of analysts
hell-bent on proving they didn't.

Well, you can't ask them not to -
that will just ensure that they do.

Fuckin' don't talk to me like I'm
straight out of university either.

Look, all that is required is
some carefully planned deception.

Second nature for an agent of your
experience, I would have thought.

And that, my friend, is a compliment
under the circumstances.

No, 'cause I do,
I hear that everywhere -

Kathleen Sinclair,
so generous with her compliments.

Fuckin'...

(BOYS SHOUT)
Whoa!

Alright.
Hey! Hey!

I'm thinking of keeping Louis
home today

because he's running a temperature.

(BOYS SHOUT HAPPILY)

Feel his forehead
if you don't believe me.

I believe you.
It's a shame, really.

I was gonna go to
a lecture on Indigenous art,

but, you know, if he's not well...

No, of course.

Mommy!
Hey! Not inside!

Well, uh... maybe next time.

Boys!

Apparently, we're in the world's
capital for lesbian anthropologists.

So, there I was, right?
Swipe, swipe, swipe.

I ran out of people.

Should have hung out with us.
The offer was there.

You know, just some nights I just
wanna, like, forget about everything.

A mindless hook-up -
that's all I wanted.

Hey, where'd you get to?

You said you'd join us
and you never showed.

Oh.

I just fell asleep.

In front of the TV.

Since when do you watch TV?

What was on?
What?

On the TV?
Nothing.

No, just...

See you in there, Moses.

JACOB: Hey, let's go by
the collection room.

Sure.

Do you remember where it is?

Oh, it has changed a bit.

Yeah, everything's
interconnected now.

Direct uploads from assessments
on the ops floor.

These are the analysis boards for
all the regions we have on tasking,

and this one is the one for APEC.

And Shadhinota doesn't even rate?

Well, here are the comms we logged
on foreign terrorist organisations.

So... no, nothing from Shadhinota.

But there are thousands
from these other FTOs.

There was a lot of anti-American
chat from these guys,

but nothing suggesting a strike
of any sort was being planned

and no intel on anyone buying

or stealing another vampire
from anywhere.

OK. So, where's all this chat?

Are the transcripts on file?
For everyone on tasking.

The last three months
are all in here, on the CR drive.

And you can bring those up
on the ops floor?

Sure.

Alright.

Well, search through
those other groups again

using every keyword you can think of.

I have.
Well, go further back.

Upload the files from here to me
and then get stuff out of storage.

There's gotta be something.

Hey.

We need the calls and emails
from all these groups -

ISIS, Taliban, al-Qaeda, Shadhinota.

And the search words are here.

And going back how far?
Four years.

Four years?
It's authorised.

Alright. I'll put the results
up on the COMINT drive.

Thanks.

RADIO: Tension escalated
in South-East Asia overnight

when Beijing claimed a Malaysian
survey ship, the Ratu,

had crossed into Chinese territory
in the South China Sea.

President Kerr immediately
guaranteed support

for Malaysia's right
to freedom of navigation.

In return, China condemned America's
contempt for sovereign rights,

citing the recent American
drone strike in Myanmar.

From Canberra, Prime Minister Burke
cautioned both sides

to show restraint.

SIMON: Jacob, Channel 27
tuned to Chinese Air Command.

We have five J-31 fighters
taking off from Hainan.

Where's that Malaysian ship,
the Ratu?

Is that where they're headed?
Uh, main screen.

Give me a moment.
Processing image resolution.

Is the Ratu in Chinese territory?
Which is disputed territory.

Well, they've been saying
it's theirs since 1948.

Actually, according to them,
it's been theirs since 3,000 BC.

They just went to sleep
for 100 years

and everyone just took it off them.

They still lost the court case.

Well, these are
the Fiery Cross Islands,

where China's built a navy base.

I love the way
they just... take islands.

Uh, Hawaii?

And the Ratu is here,
30 k's south of Fiery Cross.

Well inside
Chinese-claimed territory.

Right where these Chinese
fighters are heading.

Is this an attack plan, comms?

Unclear.
No weapons armed yet.

13 minutes away at current speed.

Jasmina - those transcripts
from the collection room?

Should be up on S drive already.

Oh, this is slow.
Come on, come on, wake up. Come on.

What happened to real-time speed?

Don't we have mainframes in here?

I thought we had
the best gear on earth.

Oh, thank you.

I've got one bird passing over
the Hainan airfield.

But the rest of the squadron's
still on the apron.

Nothing else scrambling.

DEBORAH: So it's
just a show of force?

GUS: Probably.
But it's still intimidatory.

It'll have to trigger some sort of
active defence for a guy like Kerr.

You know one day this is gonna get
really serious, right?

What? Like all the other shit
hasn't been.

There you are.

MOSES: It's me. Collection room.

We got it.

There. You see?

So, when Jas pulled
200 COMINT files from here

to the ops floor S drive,

it took just a few seconds
longer than normal.

That was the clue.

The malware got onto our system

from this terminal
in the collection room.

And it'll just keep migrating.

Yeah, I can see that.

Every time someone downloads
anything from S drive,

a copy of the malware
hitches a ride to their computer,

copies everything on that computer
and sends it back to here.

I mean, this could
spread like wildfire.

But at the moment
nothing's left the base?

No.
In fact, how can it?

We're totally air gapped.

No internet, no USB ports,
no wi-fi, nothing.

How'd they get it on this
computer in the first place?

What they've done is quite clever.

They've snuck into
the collections room

and reprogrammed the video graphics
card in this terminal

so it can be a radiofrequency
transmitter receiver.

Then they've activated
an RF tuner on a smartphone

and transferred the malware
from the phone to this computer.

Via phone?
Yep.

That's a thing?

You need some tech savvy,
but, yeah, that's... it's possible.

Of course, we can't
bring cell phones

inside the classified area,

so it had to be transmitted
from outside the ops building.

But the transmitters in phones,
they're pretty weak,

so they had to be close -

maybe 200 yards,
you know, that sort of radius.

So, definitely an inside job?

Yeah. But 500 people use this room.

Does reprogramming a VGA card

automatically create
a new system reset point?

I salute you.

Any changes to the factory default.

(LAUGHS)

Wow. Wow.

So, yep, here we go.

And the system reset point
is now midnight last Wednesday.

Which means the graphics card
in here was reprogrammed

at some point
in the 24 hours after that.

You just have to get your hands
on the collection room entry logs

for last Wednesday,
and it's one of those people.

Go back to the floor.

And forget everything.

I'll handle it from here.

OK.

How are you feeling?
Can you walk? No?

Marissa Campbell.
Come on, let's have a look at ya.

Have you two been in a fight
or something?

Nah, it's the bloody dog.

Dog?
MARISSA: Uh, yeah.

It just, um, went for me, so I
took off and I tripped on something

and smashed my head on a rock.

Are you sure?
That's what she said, wasn't it?

Come on, let's get you cleaned up.

Tommy Walker.

G'day, Tommy. Come through.

Hey, Belle.
Hey, Paul.

RUDI: Who told you
about this malware?

Moses. He certainly earns his keep,
our resident genius.

He knows to keep quiet, right?

No. He's giving the whole story
to the Alice Springs Gazette.

Come on.

The real question is,
what do we do about it?

Try to solve it here quietly?
Or tell truth unto power?

Which is the golden rule, but then
Kerr is sick of Australia right now.

In his mind it's like the pet cat
acting like the master of the house

when it's really just a... cat.

You know, which is why he'd love
an excuse to give it a kick.

Which would almost certainly
be counterproductive.

On the other hand,
if I don't say anything to anybody

and this whole thing blows up,
well, that wouldn't end well either.

Certainly not for you.

The Chinese have activated
launch countdown

on a mid-range ballistic missile
from Yulin silo.

The signal we're intercepting
is TE1789R on channel 27.

Hey, guys, are you reading this?
Channel 43.

What have we got? Second signal?

Yeah.
TE2291R logged on channel 43.

JACOB: Does that mean
a second missile?

No. 2291R also geos to Yulin.

Buckle up, kids.

We got
two signals from the one missile.

Probably means it's armed.

Alert DEFSMAC, Trevor.
On it.

Deb, where are those J-31 fighters?

Uh, three minutes from the Ratu, but
peeling away. They're disengaging.

SIMON: Chinese Air Command
have called them back.

(OVER SPEAKER) Launch - DF21.

Time?
031612.

Confirming TE2291R is a warhead.

The Chinese have launched
an armed ballistic missile.

What sort?
Yeah... that's pretty crazy.

Is it conventional?
Not in the slightest.

It can't be nuclear.
No, it's not that either.

Shit.

Where is it going?
Trackers indicate south-east.

What? It's also headed
for that Malaysian ship?

Pretty close.
Got an antenna over the Ratu now.

Running full spectrum geo scan.
Oh, man, this is really weird.

What the fuck is going on?

Louis James.
Yes.

Oh, hey, Belle.
Hi, Paul.

He's got the flu.
Oh, a wounded soldier.

If you go with Dr Adam,
he's got jelly beans.

Yeah?
Hmm?

Give us a call
if you have any problems.

Hey, Paul.
Joe.

Am I too early?
No. I'm late.

Last patient
and then we're out of here.

Skins?
Only on the back nine.

DEBORAH: DF21 has reached apogee.

MOSES: Detonation in two minutes.

1:59, 1:58. I... I'm still trying
to read the warhead on this thing.

This is a...
It's a 900lb... something.

It's gonna miss the ship, though.

It's on line but too high.

Pictures on bird two, Gus.

Can you direct that to me
next time, please? Put it up.

Sorry.

1:46.

(PHONE RINGS)

Belle?
They think it could be pneumonia.

Pneumonia?
Maybe. They're still checking.

How do you get pneumonia
in this heat?

I don't know.

They just said that
they needed to rule it out,

and he's scared, Ethan,
and he keeps asking for you.

I'll be there.

MOSES: Eight seconds.

ELOISE: Holding high resolution
over the Ratu.

Five, four, three...

Payload release.
GUS: 1,000 feet above the Ratu?

Oh, my God!

I... It's not an explosive.
I-I think I got it.

Because the fusing and firing pattern
is exactly the same

as the EMP Nevada test
September 4, 1986.

What? The Chinese have a 900lb
electromagnetic pulse bomb?

That is the first time we have seen
one that big inside a missile.

Jesus. Are there any signals
from the Ratu?

Uh, no energy at all.

Oh, wow. Every single watt
of power is gone.

No phones, radios, radars,
lights, nothing.

That's an EMP for ya.

Man, what a weapon.
Kills power, spares people.

So, what? They've completely
disabled a whole ship

without hurting anyone?

Yeah.

Well, Beijing did warn them
to back off.

Well, so what happens now?
That's really up to the President.

But they were in
international water.

Not according to China.

So, why can China simply ignore

the international law of the sea?

So does America.
We're defending it.

So ratify it. Your Congress
hasn't agreed to it yet.

They're bullies, Jas.
Congress or China?

Our Congress doesn't arrest people
just for disagreeing with...

Alright, shut up, children!

Let's just remember
we're all friends here, alright?

(PHONE RINGS)
Yeah?

Alice, this is Denver.

Jacob, what the hell just happened?

Yeah...

(PHONE RINGS)

ETHAN: Hey. How is he?
Well, it's just a bad cold.

Sorry if I was an alarmist before.

It's just that... you know,

I don't know how good
the doctors are out here, so...

I know.

That's fine. Don't worry about it.

Well, there's no need to come out
if you haven't left already.

I mean, if you have, maybe the three
of us, we can get some lunch.

Ethan?

Yeah, I probably oughta...
stay at the base.

You know, if it's not serious.

(LAUGHS) OK.

Yeah, let's do something special
at the weekend.

Sure.
Thanks, hon.

I'll see you tonight. Love ya.

Bye.

Hey. Mind a third?

Ethan! Course not. Join us.

Joe, Ethan.

Uh, it's Ethan James, right?
You work at the base.

That was his wife at the hospital.

With his little one.

Oh, yeah. It's,
uh, Annabelle, isn't it?

I've seen her at the court a bit.

You're with Shonguran.
I'm with Shonguran, yeah.

Still exploring?
No, no.

We've done all the prep work, talked
to everybody, made some adjustments.

All the plans are with his mob now.

We just need a tick
from the Central Land Council,

then we can take it to Canberra,

agree a price, and then sign a deal,
and then start drilling.

And what are the Arrernte
thinking, Paul?

Your elders really gonna let him
just dig in your land?

At least they asked. (CHUCKLES)

Any news on that stuff
from data retrieval?

Not much. It turns out in the whole
four years we only picked up

one piece of talk about a vampire,
and that was in the Uruzgan Valley.

Nothing in Sittwe.

Uruzgan?
Afghanistan.

Way back. July something, 2014.

So, we're back at square one.
Yeah.

You know what?
I'm even starting to wonder

if we're looking in the wrong place.

You mean the Americans
weren't even the target?

Well, nothing said they were -
we just assumed that.

But if the real target was
one of the other passengers...

Then it wasn't
a terrorist attack at all.

So, we should go back and look
at the other people on that plane.

Let's go to data management now,
see what we can find.

Jas.
Yeah?

Take a break.
Time doesn't matter now.

You've got four days off.

Enjoy them, and just pick it up when
you come back on shift, alright?

Moses.

Are you OK?

What?

When you ran out this morning,

I wondered if maybe
you weren't feeling well.

Uh, no. I'm... I'm fine.

But thanks.

How are you?

Fine.

Let's go, people.
Got a plane to catch.

How long was he here the first time?
It was after you got here, right?

10 months.

He came in from ASIS when Sophie
Knight went on maternity leave.

It was six years ago now.

Didn't talk to me then either.

JACOB: I've got it covered.

I've just figured out
who we can blame.

What?
No, trust me.

New plan. Foolproof. OK?
You can stop worrying.

It'll take a few days
for the paperwork to arrive

and when everyone's back on shift

I can tie a nice bow
around the whole thing.

And I'm gonna drag you out
and shout you a nice beer -

one of those new boutiquey things.

No, you're not.
Oh, one beer?

Really? That'd kill ya?

Hey! I thought
you'd gone for the day.

I just met that Zhou fella
from Shonguran.

So sorry I couldn't do the intros.
He's a nice guy, though, right?

Maybe.
(MESSAGE ALERT CHIMES)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

The list of everyone who was in
the collections room last Wednesday.

You ever heard anybody call Belle
by any other name?

No.
Hmm.

So, our little traitor...

..is one of these people.

Including Moses?

It was A-crew's shift from 7am,
so there's 12 of them.

Marilyn and Sam from D-crew
later that evening.

How many were in there on their own?
Six.

They're underlined.

Simon Penny, Deborah Vora,
Eloise Chambers,

Gus, Jasmina Delic... and Moses.

What do you think about Moses?
Do we take him off?

Or is planting a virus
and then telling us about it

the kind of complex,
double-thinking way his mind works?

Well, we shouldn't rule him out.

But at the moment,
definitely least likely.

Who was in there the longest?

Well...

..one of them went in and out
five times.

Ethan!

Ma'am. I appreciate you
coming out here.

It's a long flight
for one conversation.

No option this week. You know
about Langley and the Pentagon?

I read the daily briefings.

Have we confirmed
the point of origin?

China, undeniably.

They hacked into both systems
using some sort of new technology.

Hence we are temporarily avoiding
using our internet

and even secure telephone lines.

Which has therefore led to this.

Well, I'm honoured nonetheless.

Oh, don't be, it's actually worse
than we put in the briefings.

Essentially, they took all the files

of all the American agents
at Harrogate and here.

So, Beijing knows everything
about all of you now.

And we also heard from
an embassy worker in Mumbai

that Beijing had a quiet chat

with over 100 friends of the party
this week.

Friends?
Businessmen, investors. Not spies.

Just loyal Chinese
with influence abroad.

Disturb and distract -
that was the request.

Now, is your problem linked to this?

We're not sure.

We believe there's only
one insider involved,

and we know that person has to be
one of only six people.

Well, keep the malware in place
until they reveal themselves.

OK, but the longer
we let a conspiracy run,

the greater the chance
they might achieve something.

I wouldn't have thought so.

We're expecting you to identify
the perpetrator long before that.

I'm assuming there's no problem
accessing phone and bank records.

There is, actually.

Inside Australia
that can only happen via ASIO

or the Attorney-General's office.

Some of our suspects have very good
friends in both those places.

We'd be inviting a tip-off.

And we can't use our own
satellites either.

Not inside Australia.

First, it's a breach
of our own directives

and, second, everyone
on the ops floor would see it.

So, Pine Gap has
the most technically advanced

surveillance equipment in history
all right here

and you can't use any of it?

Not in this situation, no.

Ethan, if there's been a breach
at this facility, of all facilities,

it is essential that we identify
and neutralise the perpetrator.

If we keep it in and you're relying
on just me and Rudi,

well, I can't guarantee
we can stop another Snowden moment.

You'll have to.

Who else knows at Langley?
Just me and the director.

And there's nothing on paper.

If these motherfuckers
do achieve something...

..you tried to fix this
all by yourself.

But if it's handled well,

then the President will be
fully briefed

about your remarkable service

and that unfilled job in Canberra
could well be in the cards.

Ethan.
Ma'am.

Where was Simon going?

Uh, just home to wifey and the kids.

How many does he have?
Four.

Yeah. I think they all go to private
school, which I think is ridiculous.

How does he afford
four sets of school fees?

Brings his own lunch in,
never buys anyone coffee.

Hey, have you kept those calls

about vampire missiles
in the Uruzgan Valley?

Yeah. Do you want to listen to them?

Sometime, maybe.
OK.

DEBORAH: Oh, hey.
Um, I've been meaning to ask...

..what happened to that job
as team leader for imagery?

Marilyn Johnson got it.

From D-crew? How does that work?

It's too small a section
to have a lead in every crew.

Which is true, I suppose.

But you've been here longer.

Well, yeah, but Marilyn's great.

Hasn't she got, like,
an eye like a hawk or something?

Yeah, she's really good.
I can see why she got it.

OK, so, did we forget the wine?

Do you want to get
stuck into it already?

After the week we've had?
Are you kidding me?

We should have started hours ago.

Uh, must still be in the trunk.
OK.

Unique, aren't they?

According to the Arrernte legend,

the whole range was created
by giant caterpillars.

Really?
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.

Don't you google anything, ever?

I googled you.

If you're looking for bolts,
you won't find any here.

You climb too? Huh.

Not here, though.
You're not allowed.

But there's a few good places.

You'll have to show me around
sometime.

I've never spoken to Zhou
about you or Belle.

We only ever met at
community development meetings.

I had to check.

In fact, I didn't know her name
was Annabelle. Is it?

I only ever knew her as Belle.

Which is my point.

Everyone calls her Belle.

Her credit card is Belle,
Instagram, everything.

You would literally have to see her
passport or her birth certificate.

And you think that he has?

Yes.

We know the Chinese
hacked our security files.

They know every American agent here,

and I am sure he's been
extensively briefed.

In fact,
you should get ASIO to watch him.

Ethan, he's been here for 18 months

with no indication he's anything
other than a geologist.

He's a Chinese national, Kath.

Friend of the party.
And they have told him about us.

Now, why they picked him,
I'm not sure.

But then, I could ask why
about a lot of things recently.

Why don't we know
who shot down a civilian plane

right over the APEC summit?

Do you not believe how important
the US-Australia alliance is to us?

Oh, for heaven's sake.
Do I look like an idiot?

Our relationship with America
is immensely valuable,

and we get a lot more out of it
that you get from us - we know that.

But you're 20 fuckin' times
bigger than us in every way.

A lot would have to change

before this alliance starts costing
Australia more than it's worth.

And I, for one, think that
that day is a long way off.

Others don't, but I do.

Why do you need convincing?

What have we done
to make you doubt it?

Is it because our leaders
are trading insults at the moment?

Or is this because
we insisted on the new MD?

Come on.

Are you coming?
Ethan.

Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer?

It doesn't matter where
you keep your friends, Rudi.

They're only your friends
if you trust them.

Sure. But remember what Ronald
Reagan said - "Trust, but verify."

And when he said that
he was talking about the Soviets

agreeing to reduce
their nuclear arsenal.

And you know how he verified that?

Pine Gap. A shared facility.

Nothing else could do it.

I should've told you yesterday.

I just had to gather my thoughts.

My apologies.

Who found it?
Moses.

I should've guessed.

Are you sure he's not playing
some weird intellectual game?

Could be.

But highly unlikely.

He looked pretty shocked.

And to have any hope
of neutralising this thing...

..sensibly, quietly...

No Canberra.

No Washington.

But at least...

..we know it's one of them.

Who spent the most time in there?

(ALARM CHIMES)

(ALARM STOPS)

(CAR HORN HONKS OUTSIDE)

When I move my knight,
it looks like you could take him.

But...

..when I moved it, my bishop
is now attacking your queen.

Ta-da!

Now, so, you have to
look real close...

..to see where all the attacks
are coming from.

IMMY: Oh, God, Kerr's just
such a child. That's the problem.

He's like a big kid in a sandpit,

just trying to knock
all the other castles over.

WOMAN: And that's your critique
of the Asian pivot?

Yeah, it's my summary.
OK.

Look, if you wanna read
the long version,

it'll be on my blog tonight.

And this one is hilarious.
Like, it's fucking fantastic.

It's gonna go viral.
So was the last one, wasn't it?

One day it's gonna happen.

Yeah. Yeah, and one day
I'm gonna have sex again.

(WOMEN LAUGH)
Hi.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's about a woman's place.
Caught my eye too.

If you like it, you should come
inside and see her other works.

Cooee! (VOICE ECHOES)

What was that?
Oh, man.

So, giant caterpillars, yeah?

That's the Dreaming.

They came out of the desert at
Snail Ridge, about 50 miles that way,

and then went back underground
near Alice.

That's a nice story.
It's been around for 60,000 years.

Hey, how old were you
when you left Serbia?

I was nine.

Do you remember much about it?

Enough.

What happened in the Uruzgan Valley?

My brother was there.
Where is he now?

Arlington.

Partly.

They brought home
as much as they could find,

but it was a light coffin.

And my dad was a coalminer,

and he married the daughter
of a local gun shop owner.

I grew up in Philippi,

just outside this little
Div II college town

called Alderson Broaddus.

One diner, one gas station,
covered bridge - that's about it.

My brother went to West Point
and I went to Fort Meade.

(SOUTHERN ACCENT) And lil Gus,
he just gonna carve his name

into history one day -
y'all see if he don't.

That was terrible.
That was good.

That was terrible.
That strawberry's awesome.

And it's much more Alabama
than West Virginia.

Coffee at my place?

Wow. Clean bathroom.

I've gotta tidy up
before I let you into my place.

No judgement. I promise.

So, what's with that cutthroat razor?

That is so Antiques Roadshow.

My great-grandfather's.
Far out.

So, it has meaning, I suppose.

Plus it's good discipline.
You have to concentrate.

Stay calm.

Makes me shiver.

You'd be fine with it.

I think.
You reckon?

Sure.
(BOTH LAUGH)

If you ever wanna give it a go,
I'd trust you with it.

I'd sit back and be all yours.

That sounds intimate.

Well...

..the real trick

is a light touch and a steady hand.

Then, as long as you don't
hurry anything...

..it feels fantastic.

So, what happens now?

Maybe we should tackle a real climb
next time we're off work?

I'm in.

No, no, the light.
Just turn it back on, please.

What?
Um...

I, um...

..I'm just gonna get going home.

Just this time.

Yeah, alright.

Sorry.

Alright.

MAN: Morning.
Hey.

How you going today?
Good. How are you?

Good, thanks.
Great.

Hey.

Can I get a printout of these?
What are these?

They're the phone archives
for the non-American passengers

on that Burmese plane.

I'm trying to figure out
who the real target was.

OK. I'll print them out now for you.

Shit.

We're wanted in the conference room.

What for?

I don't know.

Right, this man is the answer
to the riddle of BM-24 - Pun Sang.

The plumber in seat 6B?
Except it's not.

One of our ASIS agents discovered
it's really Tiha Meng,

a Buddhist policeman accused
of raping five Rohingya women.

Everyone thought
that he'd gone to prison,

but in fact he'd been released
with a new identity

for snitching on a cellmate.

A couple of weeks ago,
the, uh, Rohingya found out

about his new identity
and his sudden freedom,

and they just went mental.

They found some Taliban traitors
who sold them a vampire, and boom.

But because the Rohingya
are an oppressed minority

and not anti-Western terrorists,

they weren't part
of our threat assessment

and they certainly
weren't on our tasking.

JASMINA: OK, but hang on.

I just pulled up the phone records of
the other passengers on that flight,

and there's a text that
Lwin Ho sent - the journo in 3A.

She wrote a message to her
editor in Hong Kong, saying,

"Must meet 'cause
got totes explosive news.

"Will call as soon as landed."

Yeah, she had recognised Tiha Meng
getting on the plane.

Really? You think so?
Absolutely. Yes.

It was a huge story over there.

But as far as the rest of the world
need to know,

the plane was shot down
by the ISIS cell Shadhinota.

This can just stay with us.

So, there is no intelligence
failure from A-crew?

That's the finding?

No, it was an internal Burmese
flight, not in our tasking,

and nor were the Rohingya.

Well, good.

Thank you. In which case...

Not now.

OK, let's all just move on.

Yeah.
I'm sure we've all got work to do.

Sure do.

Are you gonna talk to her?
I got it.

RUDI: So, Gus, that EMP last week -

is that the biggest one
we've ever seen?

Launched as a warhead, yeah.

Jas.
Yeah?

A word?
Come on.

RUDI: POTUS is making a decision
tonight, apparently.

OK, enough of that.
After you.

Who else knows about that text?

No-one.
Good.

Forget it.

Are we clear?

Rudi?

Do you seriously think
a dispossessed, starving Rohingyan

would spend $50,000
on a surface-to-air missile,

kill 14 people, to get one rapist
he could have followed and shot

when the plane got to Yangon?

The real truth is something
the Australians are keeping secret.

Think. When the ISIS story looked
like it might come unstuck,

they had us bring Jacob in
to run the investigation.

Sidelining you.

And when the ISIS story
did fall over,

they had to go and dig up
a Rohingyan story

with an ASIS report
that just dropped out of nowhere.

Well, dress me up and call me
Hillary, but I don't believe it.

Come on, I didn't want
to pull the mood down,

but she was a Hong Kong journo
on her first ever trip to Myanmar.

She wouldn't have recognised a
local rapist in witness protection.

That wasn't her explosive news.

Yes, it was.
No, it wasn't, Jacob.

That... is what happened.

Aren't they one of our
strongest allies?

Yeah. But against that,
our President has just refused

to give their Prime Minister
a guarantee

that we will protect them, so...

But we share everything
with Australia.

They have access to
all our intelligence here.

ETHAN: What if some of that got out?
Frequency ranges? Encryption keys?

Can you imagine how many
American lives would be at risk?

We have to know
what really happened and why.

And the Australians who just left -
Kath, Jasmina,

and whoever the hell
Jacob Kitto really is -

they know.

And don't go jumping to conclusions
as to what this means

because you will never
be fuckin' right.

And this must remain secret, Jas,
especially from the Americans.

JACOB: Although...

..apparently, you are becoming
quite friendly with one of them.

Which is OK, because we all need
a personal life - we get it.

But we also trust
that you will be loyal,

because that is the secrecy act
that you have signed with us.

RUDI: You two seem to be getting
along reasonably well lately.

Sure. We're friends.

Well, staying friends
might suit all of us.

First I'm invaluable, then I'm
demoted for political expediency...

..and now I'm needed again.

Can you, um,
head back to ops, please?

And Fort Meade will be told A-crew
had no failure of intelligence

while I was mission director?

Eventually.

But the better our support
information,

the more weight my report will have.

OK.

RUDI: To refresh ourselves
on the motives for treason.

KATH: Money.
Ideology.

Compromise.
And ego.

How are things at home?
Perfect.

Or, they will be, once I win lotto.

Has Gus asked you about your family?

I told him they were killed
by the Kosovo Liberation Army.

'Cause that is the truth, isn't it?

I'm with you, by the way,
about being at the coalface.

The Australians, they're
definitely hiding something.

BELLE: Could it end in war?

I really wanna know
what you think is gonna happen.

Just still wondering about the
Rohingya shooting down that plane.

If it was about something else,
aren't you curious what it was?

Informative evening?
On many fronts.

Including Mr Jacob Kitto.
