Original subtitles

- Nice pearls. - It was his money.

They made us move money offshore for them

via this Australian account

that we set up in Hugo's name.

Is there anyone in this town

who hasn't stolen my identity?

Dom is dead, which means I'm probably next.

I just wanted to apologise

for all the trouble I've caused you.

Police officers are standing round the body. It's Gareth.

I want fuckin' witness protection.

Somewhere good too. Gold Coast, please.

- Oh, what the fuck? - Cassie was here, wasn't she?

So maybe she saw something.

Fuckin' hell.

Sorry. Go on.

Uh, well, uh,

it... it was my intention

to bring Leon in for questioning.

However, having spoken to him earlier in the day,

I thought he might be a flight risk,

hence the hour of my visit.

Yeah, go on.

When I said to Leon that I had reason to believe

he and Gareth were involved in a a drug syndicate

and had murdered a truckie,

Leon became hostile,

and when pressed he admitted to killing Gareth

over drug money.

He then drew his weapon, which was a crossbow,

whilst taking the woman, Audrey, hostage.

Tried to de-escalate the situation,

but... when Audrey broke free,

Leon... panicked

and killed her.

He then fired at me.

But...

having missed his target.

I drew my weapon... and fired.

In self-defence.

Fatally wounded him in the chest.

Then I called it in.

Well, we'll do a formal recording back at the station.

I don't know what else to say, Geraldine.

You're a bloody hero.

And you cracked this thing all by yourself?

Oh, I'm...

Sir, I'm just sorry that it turned out this way.

Yeah, no, no, we'll get you into counselling,

you know, whatever you need.

It's good work, Sergeant.

That promotion's got your name all over it.

Were there any witnesses?

Sorry, Sergeant.

Any chance for a podcast interview?

Oh, no, no, no, you don't.

I'm press.

And this is a crime scene, alright?

You're not allowed inside the tape.

Get her out of here.

She's not to pester any of my officers.

If she comes any closer, you can arrest her on the spot.

- Come on, let's go. - Yeah, OK, I'm going.

- You OK? - Yeah.

Hey, boss.

Look.

I think it's some kind of audio recording device.

OK, so I found it inside.

Someone was listening in on these guys.

I can't wait to hear what's on it.

Yeah, can't wait... too.

Uh, you know what?

I might take this.

Well, I'm supposed to log it as evidence in the...

Yeah. Yeah, we will.

OK.

I just need to show the boss

in case it's part of some

you know

undercover op that we don't know about.

- Oh. - Yeah.

OK. Well, um...

Yeah.

Hm!

Geraldine?

Yeah.

Sergeant.

Shit.

I just can't believe it.

Yeah, well,

now you know how it feels, I guess.

What do you mean?

To be let down by somebody you thought gave a shit about you.

I was talking about Leon and Audrey.

Dead.

Just like that.

Right after Gareth.

I don't know what's going on with this town.

Yeah, well, that is why I.

am getting out of here.

Just gonna take the money and run, are ya?

What else would I be doing?

Oh, I don't know, just thought

thought maybe we...

Are you...

Are you suggesting that we spend time together?

Jesus, you're not asking to come with me, are you?

Fuck, no.

We'd only drive each other nuts.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Must be good to have all that sorted out, though, eh?

Feel like I should say something

of lasting significance, like

keep on truckin', Pop.

I wish you could have seen me UFO tour.

Crikey, it was good.

Just listen.

I never said nothing about you, OK?

And nothing about any of it, I swear.

This can't come back to me, Leon.

It can't.

Oh. Arggh, fuck!

Oh, this is why people hate cops.

Fuckin' hell.

Agh! Agh! No! No!

No, please, no!

Oh, thank you.

For a tenner, she's yours.

- Thank you. - Yeah, thanks.

Be able to retire now.

Just the gum?

Yes, please.

Actually, you haven't come across an American

by the name of Andy, have you?

I've got a photo of him here.

This guy.

We're supposed to meet up, but he seems to have lost his phone.

Seen him around?

You can come out now.

Oh, damn!

I wanted to surprise you.

I really just want to get that interview.

You're a hero. Don't you want to tell us all about it?

Cut the crap. I know you know.

Let me out.

Let me out, you fuckin' psycho!

Oh, there she is.

Hey, it's a police car,

so we have all the doors child-locked

so the bad guys can't escape.

It's pretty nifty, huh?

Oh, are you calling the cops?

Hey! Help!

Help!

DOOR) Let me out! Help!

Let me out!

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.

Don't waste your energy.

So, I'm guessing Andy knows a bit about this too, huh?

What?

No, he doesn't know anything.

We'll see.

I was just about to call you. Where the hell have you been?

She's with me, sunshine.

But she's dead keen to see you, though.

And if you want to see her again,

then maybe you should come and meet up with us.

I... I don't...

What's going on?

What's going on

is that I know that you're into something illegal.

And if you don't do exactly as I say,

I'll have every cop in this state on your arse

faster than a fly on a fresh turd.

Come alone.

Tell no-one and bring nothing.

You understand?

I understand.

He says hi.

- Send.

Ah.

Andy.

Uh, I can't... I gotta go.

- Same again? - Yeah, great.

Last drinks.

Bus is leaving shortly.

Come on. Join the party.

- Cassie, I'm so... - Phone.

Are you OK?

- Do I look OK? - OK, sorry, just asking.

She killed Leon and Audrey.

What?!

Now he knows.

God, what a fucking fiasco

this has turned into, hasn't it?

Normally things are pretty quiet around here,

but ever since you arrived,

life's just gone sideways.

What do you want?

Well, that's a tricky question.

Is it money?

God, it's all about business for you, isn't it?

You do know that bribing a police officer

is a criminal offence?

- So is murder. - Not if you don't get caught.

Because you were right.

I came here,

for money.

And I found it.

And if you let her go, it's yours.

- All of it. - Andy!

If you... if you let her walk away.

I will take you right to it.

That's really cute.

You know you had your chance with me, Andrew.

But we're on a different path now.

And nothing can change that.

I mean, sure,

I've thought about it.

You and me on a beach, horseback riding, bareback.

And your horse gets away

and I gallop up to you and hoist your onto my horse.

Huh. But here we are.

J-just... Please.

I've got plans that I have had in place for a very long time.

You know I graduated top of my class?

No-one thought I could, but I did.

- And then...

Shit!

Go on. Go!

- I have the money. - Don't you fuckin' move.

You got any idea how much trouble you've caused me?

I thought you just did their books. I didn't...

I didn't realise that you killed for them too.

Why is that so hard to understand?

People can be good at more than one thing, Andy.

- Pigeon-holing, it's not... - You didn't have to kill Dom!

Dom fucked up. So did you.

It wasn't our fault!

We were just trying to fix it.

You think you can steal from these people

and then just fix it, Andy?

I didn't steal anything!

Tell me, where is the money!

Dear Andy,

You ever hear the one about the scorpion and the frog?

The frog gives the scorpion a lift across the river,

but about halfway across, they sink,

so the scorpion stings him.

The frog goes, "Ouch! What did you do that for?"

And the scorpion says, "Why?"

Oh, no, hang on. No, wait.

No, the frog bites the scorpion...

Uh...

Uh, no, actually, I forget.

It's something like that.

Look, the point is I can't help it.

It's in me nature.

I'm sure you're not surprised.

But it's not all that bad.

Me house, the business,

they're all yours to keep.

Not the fairest swap,

but we've both had to do things

we're not proud of to survive.

Maybe that's in our blood too.

Where is it?

Believe it or not,

I always wished you a happy existence.

So I tell you what,

you don't look for me

and I'll stay out of your life.

I get the feeling you've always preferred it like that anyway.

If you're reading this, it means you've disappeared.

For good this time.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry the fuck up, Andy.

What the hell is this, hm?

South Sea pearls, pink diamonds, opals.

You said you had the cash.

I never said cash.

You never said jewels either.

Either way, it's all there.

Sonofabitch. Pack it back up.

Come on.

OK, let's go.

What?

My car. Move!

- But I just gave you... - I said move, Andy.

Val's not here. I saw your car out the front.

Hey, what's going on in there?

Why would you lock the door?

- It locks automatically now. - She fixed it, did she?

You picked the wrong town to fuck with, mate.

Oh, you... Fuck!

- Sonofabitch!

- Fuck.

What... what do we do with the body?

I got an idea.

Might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

Is it done?

I have your money.

Put Petey on the phone.

Petey's dead.

Then you think I won't send someone else?

Listen, I never stole anything from you.

In fact, I almost died, like, six times

getting you your money.

Is that not valuable to you?

You are expendable.

Oh, yeah?

What if I told you I have access to multiple foreign accounts

through which I can move your money,

ongoing,

in a place no-one would ever think to look.

No hidden accounts, no identity fraud,

everything completely legitimate.

As long as I'm alive.

Right.

I'm supposed to trust you now?

I'm not asking for trust.

I'm asking for a chance to prove to you

that this will be an even better operation

than it was before.

All while paying back my debt, of course.

OK, here's what's gonna happen.

Have the missing money back in the account

and the details of all the new accounts

in to me by Friday.

OK.

And I'll give your little operation one month.

All goes to plan, we have a deal.

- If not... - Understood.

Yeah.

And you'll be paying off your friend's debt as well.

Hm!

You realise you can never come back here.

Yeah.

- I kind of figured that. - Get it done.

Andy!

- What happened? - He's...

He went away.

How'd you get here?

I hitched.

Oh, shit.

- Cassie. - What?!

Don't you know that's dangerous?

Oh!

Why do people disappear?

When they do, the truth often disappears with them.

What's going on?

It's supposed to be one minute's silence

and we're just 10 seconds in, so if we could just...

I'm sorry, Jimmy,

it's just I don't know what's happened to us,

to our little town.

I do. It's dying.

- Can we just please finish... - It doesn't have to die.

But sometimes you get lucky and the secrets come out.

So the money gets transferred from the US into your accounts,

it just sits there for a week

and then I transfer it right back out again.

It's as simple as that.

And for letting you use our accounts, we get...

One percent of every transaction.

- Ooh! - For doing absolutely nothing.

It's... it's win-win.

Like the man who went missing from a tiny outback town

who turned out to be not missing at all.

I can confirm that Sergeant Geraldine Walters

was involved in the drug-smuggling ring

that she claimed to have smashed,

and in fact I can now reveal that I was personally leading

an internal undercover investigation

into her involvement in this criminal organisation

before they so brutally executed her.

A town full of people who disappeared themselves

long before this

all complicit in keeping the truth hidden...

as long as it suits them.

Some disappear because they're trying to outrun pain.

Others just don't want to be found.

But can you truly disappear

when someone always holds a flame?

- So, how's your mom's? - Fine.

You hate it, don't you?

I hate podcasts.

I think the world has too many of them.

But if I didn't hate podcasts,

probably wouldn't hate this one.

- Really? - I said 'probably'.

Besides, your... uh, your subject

gave you all the great material,

so you kind of owe him, huh?

What? You're not even in it.

It doesn't mention you, it doesn't mention the money.

Alright, alright, alright. Calm down.

We'll call it even, OK?

So how long are you gonna stay there?

- I don't know.

But I can't go back to the States.

At least not yet.

You're not worried they'll come find you again?

Yeah.

But I guess I just feel safer here.

Never thought I'd say that.

And, well, you're the one who sounds worried.

You wish.

When are you coming to visit?

Bidgeegud, that little shithole?

Hey, that's my adopted home town you're talking about.

It's not that bad.

You know, we used to have the number one UFO tour

in, like, two kilometres.

I heard it was crap.

Look at you, using the metric system.

I turn my back for one second and you've gone full Aussie.

Can you do the accent?
