I do declare that the frozen embryo presently in storage

forms part of the estate of Ms. Larsson.

What? Please, Your Honor --

-I´m sorry -- -STANTON: Order.

The item is now Ms. King´s to do with as she pleases.

Yeah, Keisha knows we had surveillance in her house,

and her flatmates brought some pot home yesterday,

and it´ll all be on camera.

Okay, okay, don´t panic.

I´m dealing with it. Can I just call you back later?

What now?

I´m just reminding Richard about the Filippetti case.

You know, putting the drugs in the communal...

I know, I know.

I´m just having a close look at this bill of lading.

See this contact number written here to call?

Simon´s mobile.

Except it´s not Simon´s. It´s Amil Nobakht´s.

-MAN: Is that Simon Hamilton? -AMIL: Ah, yes, speaking.

Container JL1349-76 has been cleared for pickup.

-Hey, any activity? -Nothing yet.

-Nothing? -Have they been tipped off?

ANDY: If it was anyone in customs,

the State Corruption Commission are the guys we should ask.

Roger Embry.

So Janet doesn´t think we finished the job properly.

-Is that the implication? -No.

I need an executive summary

of what will be in your interim report,

and I need evidence it will be written.

I can´t promise anything.

Hang on. What are you...

We have authority to confiscate all phones,

computers, and devices

capable of storing or transmitting

digital information.

Now, Bianca, if you can get Felix

to name the person who shot him, that opens up everything.

But now I need him fast.

Did you know about the corruption commission?

Obviously Lincoln´s behind it. It´s got nothing to do with me.

-Okay, okay. Here he is. -ANDY: I don´t believe you!

I do not fucking believe you, Steph!

Fuck.

Brett.

-[ Cellphone rings ] -[ Knock on door ]

It´s Brett Bonar. He knows you´re a cop.

Don´t let him in.

[ Vehicle door unlocks ]

You´d better not bloody die.

[ Tires screech ]

Just checking the ambulance has been sent

to 12 Barclay Crescent, Bass Hill.

Mm-hmm.

BIANCA: ...21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26...

[ Breathing rhythmically ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

Commissioner Janet King.

MAN: ...5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

1, 2, 3...

ANDY: Janet.

You okay? No one´s hurt?

We only realized it was him seconds before --

ANDY: As soon as he saw me, pulled his gun.

It´s a good thing you had yours.

Took on what you said about being prepared.

-Good. You needed to be. -OFFICER: This is your weapon?

We´ll need your clothes and take some swabs of your hands.

But first walk me through what happened.

-BIANCA: I was standing... -Why are you stopping?

There´s nothing more we could do.

-What do you mean? -It´s over.

-Ready? -Yeah.

Did he say anything?

After you shot him, did Brett say anything at all?

No.

No.

[ Cellphone rings ]

-Yes? -OWEN: Should I ask?

He´s dead.

Fuck.

Bahman and Sam Nobakht are at the airport.

We´ve got pass alerts on the whole family.

They were trying to board a flight to Dubai

with a connection to Tehran.

They can´t go to Iran.

We´ve not finished with them yet.

And are their visas valid? Can we stop them from leaving?

Well, the $30,000 in undeclared U.S. currency

that Bahman was carrying might help.

U.S. currency?

Yeah, apparently it´s accepted in Iran.

-Where did they get that much? -Question on my lips too.

All right, bring them in.

ANDY: I´m gonna search Brett´s house

before his death hits the streets

and someone beats us to the punch.

All right.

I´m going to meet with Felix, debrief him,

make sure he´s safe.

All right. Who was Brett working for?

Who did Felix owe? Do you think he can tell us that?

I´ll ask.

Well, seeing the way things have played out here,

he´s unlikely to give you anything more,

so don´t feel you have to.

I´ll do what I can, Janet.

-You sure you´re up to it? -I´m fine. Really.

[ Engine starts ]

Here´s the brief you asked for.

I don´t know why I got to wait here all day, Steph!

I don´t fucking know! Hey?

Fucking talk! You talked.

BIANCA: [ Sobbing ] I didn´t tell them anything.

-Will you stop lying to me?! -I´m not!

Hey, just stop lying to me.

-You want more of this, huh? -No.

You fucking want more? You want fucking more?!

BIANCA: No, please! No!

[ Gasps ]

This is fucking serious shit, Steph.

This is serious shit, okay?

I got to know.

-[ Clicks ] -[ Gasps ]

-JANET: Nobakhts here yet? -OWEN: Haven´t arrived.

Janet, what´s going on?

Good, it gives us a moment. Lina, Richard. Heather!

[ Gunshots ]

So Bianca went undercover to get close to Felix

to see if she could get him to reveal who kneecapped him.

Yesterday she and Andy

played out the "violent boyfriend" scenario

which was designed to convince Felix

that the only way to protect her was to contact that man.

Who turned out to be Brett Bonar.

JANET: Yeah.

Why did he play the boyfriend when there was a risk

whoever shot Felix could have been someone he´d met?

We had to work fast. There was no time to bring in anyone else.

Pity.

Do we think Brett shot up the Nobakht´s house?

HEATHER: That doesn´t make sense.

He was a mate, and weapons are passed around all the time.

Brett probably onsold that gun months ago.

Considering he used it to put a hole the size of a dim sim

in Felix´s patella first, I think we can safely assume

he was involved in criminal activity of some kind.

Although what and who for,

unfortunately he´s no longer in a position to tell us.

This undercover thing´s been going on for a while?

Yeah.

Known only to you and Bianca and Andy and Owen?

It´s standard security protocol.

So the police are running Brett´s DNA

against crimes under our terms of reference --

in particular, does it match either trace

found at George Healy´s murder?

We know that one of the people that killed George killed Ash.

What if that was Brett?

I said under our terms of reference, Richard.

Get the police, Lina, to chase up the lab.

They will have only just got the sample.

JANET: Tell them it´s urgent.

Let me know as soon as the Nobakhts come in.

OWEN: Sure.

Where´s Andy now?

Doing his job.

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Guys!

Thanks.

Bag ´em up.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Coins clinking ]

Steph.

God, I´m so glad to see you.

For you.

-Felix. -[ Chuckles ]

I knew that bastard would do the trick.

He´s a seriously scary dude, eh?

Your ex won´t have known what hit him.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

Felix...

My name´s not Steph.

Pardon?

It´s Bianca.

I´m a sergeant with the Australian Federal Police.

The man you asked to help me, Brett Bonar, I...

He was shot dead this morning.

Bullshit.

I´m working for the King royal commission.

That gun that was used to shoot you in the leg,

that matched a weapon used in other crimes

under our terms of reference.

I was tasked with getting you to reveal who shot you.

When Brett turned up at the house,

he, um, recognized my colleague and fired on us both.

So... So you -- you killed Brett?

After I sent him to you?

Well -- Well, then they´ll know it´s me.

-They´ll know I´ve talked. -We´ll protect you.

I knew this was too good to be true.

The surest way to be safe, though, is for us to find out

exactly who was behind this and get them off the street.

I really must have "sucker" stamped on my forehead.

We will provide security, get you into witness protection.

Witness bloody protection?

There´s nothing you can do to protect me.

You got me to sign my own death warrant.

RICHARD: Uh, Janet?

It´s Roger Embry from the State Corruption Commission.

Line three.

Right, thanks.

Roger.

Just a courtesy call to let you know

that your initial hearing´s scheduled for tomorrow.

Listen, what´s this actually about?

The paperwork´s being couriered over.

Hope the RC´s progressing.

[ Line clicks ]

Hey, when the Nobakhts get here, do you want --

What have they got on me?

-Uh... -The SCC.

Well, have you ever defamed anyone?

Judge? Polly?

Well, every now and then I send Tony texts

when some idiot overturns a conviction,

but that´s hardly evidence of corruption.

Lina, have you got a moment?

So I´ll now be appearing before the SCC in the morning,

and given they took both your phones,

it´s a fair bet that you´ll be called as witnesses.

Do you know what it´s about?

No, but whatever it is,

they´ll want to catch me in a lie, make me look unethical.

And if they can do that with the help of my own staff,

so much the better.

Is there anything on your phones

that the SCC might be able to throw in my face,

texts to me or from me that aren´t quite appropriate?

Oh, like that sext you sent me?

Have I ever sent you anything off-color?

All right, have you ever texted or e-mailed anyone about me,

about my work?

How -- How far back?

Oh, I don´t know.

Let´s start with the last couple of weeks, I suppose.

Well, I-I texted Andy about your -- your manner.

What about it?

Well, it´s hard to remember the exact words.

Try a précis.

I think it had to do with you knowing it all

and making the rest of us feel stupid.

Any others?

I-I might have suggested that sometimes

you can be a little bit, um, unyielding

and maybe something about, um,

you being condescending and patronizing.

Thank you, Lina.

Me?

[ Chuckles ] No, no. Nothing like that.

Um, Heather did send me a text once, um,

comparing you to an ice queen,

all phenomenal cosmic powers and a heart of ice,

but I-I set her straight.

I-I replied and said that you´re not an ice queen,

you´re just a control freak.

But in a good way. In a -- In a good way.

There was that text you sent me

after I told you I found that bracelet

that Todd bought for Elaheh.

Remember when I said we´d have to spend $1,750,

and you said, "Don´t tell the taxpayer."

-Yeah, no. -You don´t think...

It can´t be that. That´s too trivial.

But if I was the attorney-general

with evidence that a political enemy

had misappropriated public funds...

OWEN: The Nobakhts are here. Bahman´s up first.

Start with the money or go back to the shooting?

Money.

Right.

You all right?

Yes.

Let´s get going.

Ms. King, can we get on with this, please?

Sam and I have already missed our flight,

and we have got to get home so we can rebook for tomorrow.

I´m afraid you won´t be going anywhere, Mr. Nobakht.

What?

You were attempting to leave the country

with more than twice the permitted amount of cash.

Our credit cards don´t work in Iran.

We have to take cash.

$30,000 American?

I need it to stay out of the army.

To avoid compulsory military service.

We are still Iranian citizens, so I have to.

Although you can buy an exemption certificate.

That´s how Amil got off.

That´s how all Iranian guys who live overseas get off.

But now with the war with ISIS,

Iran needs soldiers more than money,

so we cannot buy certificate after this week.

If I don´t go back to Tehran by Friday,

I will be sent to the Iraqi border.

Just...

Just don´t go back at all.

I mean, they can´t extradite you for missing military service.

-You´re an Australian resident. -My mother...

Her exit visa was rejected,

so she can only visit once or twice in a year.

We can go back, but it´s very difficult

to all live in Australia.

If I don´t get the exemption in time,

they will find a reason to arrest her.

So please, Ms. King, can we just go?

We haven´t finished with Sam´s evidence, Mr. Nobakht.

Please sit down.

Sit down.

Where did you get $30,000 American?

We´ve accessed your family bank statements.

There´s no record of you having

anything like this kind of cash available before.

Amil and Todd have a friend from school.

I think you have spoken to him. Brett Bonar?

Brett knew we needed the money for Sam,

so he come to Amil

and he said he could pay us $40,000

if we could put our business name and address

on the bill of lading for some overseas container --

Okay.

-What was in the container? -I don´t know.

Weren´t you curious?

I didn´t particularly like the arrangement.

Was Brett setting this up for himself or for someone else?

BAHMAN: I don´t know anything more about it.

I just needed the money.

I told you what you wanted to know.

May we please go?

You´re not going anywhere, Mr. Nobakht,

until you´re straight with us.

I am!

Night of the 31st, someone shot 14 bullets into your house.

-Who? -I don´t know.

Not cooperating with the royal commission.

That´s contempt, which is bad enough.

Committing perjury is worse.

And now you´re facing charges

of taking undeclared cash out of the country.

So I´ll ask you once again.

Who shot up your house?

It was Brett, okay?

OWEN: Why?

BAHMAN: I changed my mind about the container,

wanted nothing to do with it.

But when I told Brett,

he said we still had to be the point of contact -- had to.

You understand?

So he shot up your house to warn you?

It was very upsetting.

Brett was the first friend Amil made when we come to Australia,

and for him to do this...

What made you decide you didn´t want to be involved

with the container anymore?

Todd was murdered!

Whatever was going on, I wanted no more part of it!

-But you still took the money. -We were desperate!

By then it was our only choice.

Did Todd tell someone about the arrangement with the container?

Is that why Brett killed him?

Brett didn´t kill Todd.

How can you be sure?

Brett loved Todd. He was shocked when he die.

Devastated. We were all devastated!

Do you know who shot him?

No. He was a good young man.

A bit foolish sometimes but a good husband to my daughter.

And he would have been a good father to my grandchild.

Do you really think I wouldn´t tell you

who killed him if I knew?!

All right, thank you, Mr. Nobakht.

We´ll take a short break,

and then I´ll call Amil for evidence.

Thank you.

Well, you´ve had one hell of a morning.

-Hey, you okay? -Always.

Look what just turned up at Brett´s place.

Whoa! Who needs that many guns?

Someone who shoots people for a living.

And also I found this in Brett Bonar´s fish tank.

-It´s a 9mm Zodiac PT92. -[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Ballistics just confirmed put one round

into Felix Murphy´s leg and 14 into Bahman´s house.

Oh, that´s great news.

Lina Badir. Thank you.

Brett´s DNA results are in.

Brett´s DNA matches one of the two traces

found at George Healy´s murder.

And he did the drive-by and he shot Felix.

Got around, didn´t he?

Has Bahman said who Brett was arranging

the container importation for?

Doesn´t know. Or says he doesn´t.

Um, Andy, did Brett´s DNA match traces

found at any other crime scene?

It didn´t match the DNA at Ash´s murder.

Brett didn´t kill her.

But he knew who did.

Must have. He worked with him.

Murdered George alongside him, and...

But now we can´t ask Brett who that man is.

Thanks.

-FELIX: Who is it? -Me.

Get them to say their name.

"Me"? Could be anyone.

Yeah, could.

I´ve briefed the witness security team.

You should have a new identity and a ticket to the U.K.

within 24 hours.

The U.K.?

Well, given the level of threat, overseas was deemed safest.

What about my car? M-My stuff?

-You can´t. -Mum. I got to --

You can´t go home. That part of your life´s over.

-Dead and buried. -Felix, you´re safe here.

We weren´t followed,

and I´ve organized a police guard for overnight.

You really are a cop, aren´t you?

Doesn´t mean I don´t know how scary this must be.

Or that I didn´t enjoy getting to know you.

I felt good with you.

Or with Steph.

Felt like a better person for a minute.

You are a good person, Felix.

You tried to help a woman in fear of her life.

Seems you can look after yourself.

Giving us Brett was a really important piece

of this gun crime puzzle

the royal commission´s trying to solve.

But he didn´t shoot you for free.

Whoever you owed money to paid him, and that person,

he´s up to his eyeballs in the drive-bys,

the kneecappings, the murders.

Who lent you the money?

Oh, so that´s how this works?

I don´t tell you what you want, and my shiny new identity

and ticket to neverland just goes away,

and I get shoved out the door

to be shot in the head and dumped in the Parramatta River!

You gave us Brett. Tomorrow we´re getting you out of here.

But if we don´t take down whoever he worked for,

tomorrow there´ll be another Brett Bonar

strutting the suburbs of western Sydney,

shooting people for money.

I can´t tell you.

I can´t even say the name. They´ll find out.

No, they won´t. You´re safe here.

Well, how do you know?

They could have got in and bugged the place.

This place is secure, Felix. Trust me.

Trust you?

I already did.

The phone number on the bill of lading

for the container was yours.

Yes, I put my number on the form.

And when I got the call the container arrived,

I let Brett know, but that´s it.

Who did Brett report to?

AMIL: No idea.

Get the call it was there, let Brett know.

It was a straightforward arrangement.

Which included falsifying Port Authority documents

and knowingly making bogus claims to customs.

For which you were paid.

Thank you. You´re excused.

My hands are tied on the money.

My wife faces jail in three days.

If you give me your wife´s address,

I can make sure that we involve the relevant authorities.

Australian police have no power there!

ISIS is a hundred K´s from the Iran-Iraq border.

Sam is not a soldier.

This royal commission of yours

is set up to protect us from gun violence,

and you´re going to send my youngest boy, a film student,

to face the bullets of ISIS, are you?

Shame on you, Ms. King!

Janet, Janet, please.

You know what it´s like to lose someone that you love.

We´ve already lost Todd.

Please.

OWEN: Do we believe that the Nobakhts

had no idea that that container was full of guns

or who Brett was working for or with or...

I believe them.

I think they considered him to be part of the family,

and now they´ve lost him too.

Well, live by the sword...

-Hi. -Bianca.

Ever noticed how undercover work on TV seems so glamorous?

I saw Felix. He´s not gonna tell us anything.

Right. Expression "square one" springs to mind.

Did you explain how critical that name is?

Well, he´s terrified they´ll blame him for Brett´s death.

Short odds.

I´ve got him into WITSEC. They´re moving him OS.

But for him, the only really safe path is silence.

I´ll speak to him.

You won´t change his mind.

I´m the one who´s lost a partner.

He won´t see just another cop.

He´ll see a victim of crime just like him.

-"Just another cop"? -That´s not what I meant.

Why didn´t you speak to him yourself in the first place

instead or orchestrating a situation

where someone got killed?

-Listen, we need that name. -He´s traumatized, Janet.

We´ve stirred up some serious shit for him.

It´s not fair to put him in this position.

JANET: If Felix doesn´t tell us what he knows,

another innocent person´s gonna end up with a bullet in them.

That´s not fair.

Briefing room now.

Lina, the woman Keisha heard scream when Todd was shot?

I´m going through the police interviews,

contacting every female in the area.

There are hundreds.

All right. What about Brett?

I´ve been going through his phones.

He had three.

He had numbers for all the powerful blokes

in western Sydney, including Patrick Boccaro,

Sam Hall, Luigi Alfarno,

Ahmed Mohammed, Mustafa Ibrahim, Bao Long --

practically every POI on the board,

including Simon Hamilton.

Brett Bonar called Simon Hamilton

three weeks before Todd was killed.

This major´s looking dodgier by the minute.

Okay, unless we get any more out of Brett´s phone,

the Nobakhts are unlikely.

And until Felix Murphy reveals

at whose behest he was kneecapped,

best line of inquiry for Todd Wilson´s murder

and the container of guns is now Major Simon Hamilton.

There are connections.

-Todd stole Simon´s identity. -We can´t prove Simon knew that.

Todd was shot with a 3-D-printed gun,

and Simon had a file for one of these on his computer.

We searched his house. No printer, no filaments.

No evidence he´d ever actually made a weapon.

Could have made it at work and smuggled it home.

And Simon´s never said where he was

the night that Todd was murdered.

-Should we recall him? -JANET: No, he stonewalls.

Let´s wait until we´ve got a plan and we can break him down.

How far back have you gone into Simon´s phone?

-Two weeks before Todd´s murder. -Maybe we should go further.

Two months, three.

You can find all sorts of things on phones.

It´s the best sauv blanc the house can provide.

Cheers.

Are you not drinking? Shit day?

What do you think? You were almost killed.

No, the worst thing that happened to me

was the mountain of post-shooting paperwork.

I hear this place does great falafel.

How was it, being undercover?

It wasn´t, really.

I just came in to play out a scenario with Bianca.

I saw the surveillance footage.

From the reserve.

Yeah.

It was pretty intense,

watching -- watching what you did to her.

It had to convince Felix.

Looked like when you grabbed her you were doing it for real.

We´d talked about it. Bianca knew what was coming.

That you´d toss her to the ground

and put a gun to her head?

She said I had to go that far. It was all with her consent.

And I´m sorry you had to see it.

I´m sorry you had to do it.

Um...

I´ve got some news.

Um, I´m pregnant.

You´re joking.

[ Laughing ] No, I´m not.

Oh, my God, are you serious?

Yeah.

Come in.

Is it true Brett was killed by the police?

Something to do with the royal commission?

Yeah.

So like him to want to help find out who killed Todd.

Why...

Why did you let him be there? He was helping you.

[ Crying ] You should have protected him.

You shouldn´t have let him get shot!

Keisha, Brett wasn´t working for the royal commission.

What do you mean?

What do you mean, Richard?

I mean, we were focusing on him.

What, he was a suspect?

Well, in a royal commission we don´t use that terminology.

We prefer "person of interest," but, yes,

Brett´s activities brought him under our terms of reference.

-What activities? -I can´t reveal the details.

He was into some pretty nasty stuff.

I´m sure he wasn´t a saint,

but he was always completely sweet to me.

He was involved in gun crime.

You´re not telling me he killed his best friend?

No. Other crimes.

Brett wouldn´t hurt anyone.

I don´t -- I don´t believe it.

Well, that´s up to you.

You´re not telling me what he´s done.

God forbid you do anything that might upset your boss!

This has got nothing to do with Janet.

You do what she tells you all the time, Richard.

Yeah, she´s usually right!

I´m sorry.

Why are you here?

Why are you here? What do you want?

To see you.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ]

Richard.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

[ Children laughing ]

LIAM: [ Speaking indistinctly ]

Oh, Liam, how fun. What did you make?

A blue snake.

Oh!

Well, I can´t wait to meet Mr. Blue Snake.

EMMA: I bit his head off.

Emma.

Did you put it back on for Liam?

ROBYN: All right, wash your hands, you two.

Then fish fingers!

-You coming on Saturday? -Yeah, I´m hoping to.

Things are just -- They´re a little bit hectic at the moment.

Okay, keep me informed. Did you find your iPad?

The kids like seeing your face, you know?

No, not yet.

But I promise I´ll FaceTime them tomorrow, okay?

All right. I´d better get them fed.

Say goodbye to Mummy.

-LIAM: Bye, Mummy. -EMMA: Bye, Mummy!

-Bye, darlings! -LIAM: Bye, Mummy!

I love you!

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Nourishing noodles. Nourishing enough.

Did you speak to Felix?

I decided it was a bad look.

For you?

For the royal commission.

So you´re on stand-down?

-Automatic after a shooting. -And the obligatory counseling.

You´ll have to talk about what happened.

Plenty of opportunity.

Between us, police complaints, the coroner.

Well, you won´t have a case to answer.

I mean, you had to shoot him.

Didn´t you?

If I didn´t want him to shoot Andy and then me, yes.

God, all that work.

We don´t know that Brett would have talked.

Yeah, but to get that close and lose everything.

You know, I´m the one...

Taking a human life is not insignificant,

no matter what horrific things that person has done.

-Of course -- -And Felix.

He rebuilt his life, and now it´s ruined

all because I did such a brilliant job

at winning him over, and now that got us nowhere.

And on top of that, the SCC has taken my phone,

trawling through it, looking for God knows what.

I´m sorry all this has happened.

I just don´t think I can talk about

your commission right now, Janet.

Then perhaps we should leave things.

REPORTER: The 28-year-old man

shot here by police this morning

has been identified as Brett Ian Bonar.

Police are refusing to confirm that Mr. Bonar´s death

is connected to investigations

arising from the King royal commission

into gun crime.

Meanwhile, Robert Carter maintains his vigil

at his wife Jane´s bedside in Bankstown Hospital.

Mrs. Carter has been in a coma since her car was struck

by a vehicle driven by George Healy,

another person of interest to the royal commission.

[ Shower running ]

Ow.

I have to go to work.

Ohh!

Work shmerk.

[ Laughs ] This morning´s important, okay?

There´s a hearing, and Janet, she really expects --

Oh, I thought you´d ditched that security blanket.

I can´t let her down, okay?

I´m steeped in Protestant work ethic, like, up to here.

Dutiful to my core.

I like your hair like that.

It´s more you.

EMBRY: The people of New South Wales

expect their public officials to be of impeccable character

and to display behavior that is beyond reproach.

And when it comes to allegations of corruption

against public officials,

they apply what is quaintly referred to as the "pub test."

That is, if behavior looks, sounds, or smells corrupt,

then it probably is.

This State Corruption Commission hearing

is the result of information received,

information which suggests, Ms. King,

that you, someone who holds

one of the highest of public offices,

attempted to pervert the course of justice.

Commissioner Embry, may I ask

when this alleged attempt took place and what it actually was?

No, Mr. Gillies, you may not.

While Ms. King may wish to listen to you, I do not.

Sit down.

Ms. King, as a lawyer,

a member of the bar, senior counsel,

an employee of the DPP, and now a royal commissioner,

would you agree that your conduct

must be of the highest order?

JANET: Yes. And mine is.

[ Whispering ] Didn´t want to get out of bed, Richard?

[ Whispering ] Nope.

EMBRY: So your colleagues would have no reason

to criticize your professionalism?

Well, there are personal niggles in any workplace

and differences of opinion.

But beyond that, no.

What about these texts from your colleagues?

"She´s patronizing and doesn´t listen to advice

from anyone else on principle."

"Ballbreaker."

"Always has to be right."

"Judge, jury, executioner. J´s got it all covered."

"She´s an ice queen --

blizzards of opinions, spears dissent with icicles --

snowflake emoji, snowflake emoji."

"Not an ice queen -- just a control freak."

Hardly a ringing endorsement of your objectivity.

My team and I work under high pressure.

I mean, it´s natural that fuses blow every now and again,

but none of this comes even close to evidence

of perverting the course of justice.

We´ve received a complaint

alleging you´ve engaged in inappropriate behavior.

Who made that complaint?

The informant has chosen to remain anonymous.

But our searches through your personal devices

have confirmed the allegation has substance.

"Tell her about Filippetti.

She´ll be fine."

By Filippetti, you were referring to...

JANET: Crown vs. Filippetti, 1984.

And what happened in that case?

The accused was not convicted of possession

because the drugs were found in the living room

of a house shared by many people,

so the Crown could not...

So the Crown could not, uh,

prove who actually owned the drugs.

In other words, you were giving Mr. Stirling advice

on what his friend needed to do

to avoid charges of drug possession.

Advising on ways to avoid criminal charges --

That is perverting the course of justice, Ms. King,

is it not?

RICHARD: Janet, I´m so, so sorry.

I should never have gotten you involved.

GILLIES: Yeah, well it´s a bit late now.

She´s already facing a full public hearing.

Did you forward that text to anyone?

No.

Well, did one of Keisha´s flatmates

get ahold of your phone?

I didn´t even see them. They were all out at some gig.

I mean, would it help if I explained?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Fell on my sword? Self-immolated?

It´s not your fault, Richard.

Roger Embry´s had it in for me for years.

Never forgiven me for turning down

his drunken proposition at uni.

And don´t forget he´s a good mate of the attorney-general.

What I want to know is how the SCC found out about that text.

Not from me.

Well, somebody found out about it.

-LINA: Janet, listen -- -Don´t you have somewhere to be?

Uh, how are you feeling? Strong? Weak? Icy?

Spit it out.

Your sister-in-law´s appealing the probate judge´s ruling

on the frozen embryo.

Now, it´s listed for hearing,

but with everything you´ve got on your plate at the moment,

my advice would be to seriously consider

whether it´s worth pursuing.

I don´t know.

Deborah.

Deb´s the anonymous informant.

Well, how do you figure that?

You remember when I texted Richard

and she was sitting nearby?

Do you think she overheard me

talking about drugs in the living room,

or could she possibly have Googled Filippetti?

Ah...

Aunty Deb with her platitudes about family and love.

Janet, Janet.

You know, I won that probate ruling, Tony.

Jesus, Janet, you do not want another court case now.

You´re already the subject of a corruption investigation,

and you´re running a royal commission.

Not to mention giving

Lincoln "God´s gift to attorney-generaling" Priest,

another stick to beat you with.

Let me know when you want to talk appeal tactics.

GILLIES: [ Groans ]

I take it Roger Embry´s off the Christmas card list?

Oh, good to hear the grapevine´s healthy.

Yeah, a couple of journalists phoned already,

asking why you´d been called by the SCC.

I gave them my best finger.

As only you can. Anything else?

Ah, Andy sorted out the infrared cameras,

but he stopped short of buying you a new iPad.

-Simon Hamilton´s phone? -Barren as a boulder so far.

Screaming female witness? Richard?

The ballistics on the guns Andy found at Brett´s

are starting to come in.

I´m checking those against other firearms incidents.

Keep up the good work.

Did she say, "Keep up the good work"?

I think I like her better as an ice queen.

Simon Hamilton´s phone.

I´ve been going through everything he had on it --

calls, texts, e-mails, photos.

I´m about three months back,

and there´s been nothing you wouldn´t expect.

But just now the signal came up

showing that an app had been deleted.

I ran it through the recon program, reconstructed it.

Turned out to be a dating app.

Well not so much dating

as a "meet and let´s have sex right away" app.

Soon as you open it up,

up comes photos of people in your area who´re up for it.

I know what a hookup app is.

Ah. This one was a gay one.

-Okay. -Yeah, I know.

I pegged Simon Hamilton for as straight as they come, too.

So I started going through all the profiles

of the blokes he´d checked out.

Look, his sexual orientation´s of no relevance to us.

I-I know it´s not. It´s not that.

This was the last guy Simon hooked up with.

After this, he deleted the app.

Robbie Carter?

How´s that for a coincidence?

That´s not a coincidence.

It can´t be.

FELIX: Who is it?

Me. Uh, Sergeant Grieve.

So you say.

[ Sighs ]

Oh.

Play myself.

Form of therapy.

Most people in your situation would go for Scotch.

Passport and a new name, midday flight to Heathrow,

references for you as a chef, and bank account details.

$10,000?

Well, it´s not a sheep station,

but it´s enough to keep you going till you find a job.

Blow that all in one night if my luck turned south.

Hey.

Don´t worry, I won´t.

I hope.

Thanks.

Constable will take you to the airport if you´re ready.

Okay.

-You ready? -Yeah.

Just hate leaving a game unfinished.

Thanks, mate. Cheers.

Well...

Goodbye, Sergeant.

Good luck, Felix.

Oi, Steph.

That game. You should make the next move.

You cannot keep saying that you have nothing to do

with the tragedies that happen around you!

Please, we have the answers.

Please, go.

-Answers hardly matter now. -We now know who killed Todd.

-I think it´s time. -What will you do?

It´s been an honor, Janet.

It was you, wasn´t it?

The anonymous call that could end my career.

What would it take for you to be an ally rather than an enemy?

I have no choice but to suspend this royal commission,

and all current operations will cease immediately.

So really I have two choices.

Resignation or a completely ruined reputation.
