1 What do you know about Harborne House?

I've heard the stories.

Nasty shit went on in Harborne House. Why?

I need to look at a file

of a kid that did a stint there back in '98.

So subpoena it.

I can't.

It's about my brother.

Richard Vogel.

- You think this is Richie? - Yeah.

No, I don't know. I just... I just need to rule it out.

Can you get me the file?

Well, this is my job, working with these kids.

- It's completely unethical. - Yeah, I know.

- I get it. - You don't get it at all.

I'm not like you. I can't just bend the rules and get away with it.

Jesus.

Hang on, hang on. Hazel. Alright, alright.

I'm sorry. I know, it's...

it's a lot to ask.

But it's kind of too late now. It came out of my face.

I can't take it back.

Please.

I won't access the files, but I'll find out

where the hard copies are being stored.

Government archive rooms are pretty low security.

Thank you.

Um, just...

Daisy? Hi, Daisy.

I'm Nadja.

Tess at the reception said I'd be stopping by.

I have that phone charger.

And this is Val.

We thought you might need a hand

getting back on your feet again.

I can find you some clothes a little later.

- Thank you. - Are you safe, love?

Does he know where you are?

Well, that's good. Good. Yeah?

- Yeah. - That's good.

Do you feel up to a little walk?

We can show you around the park.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- OK. - OK.

It's best not to linger around the shower block.

There's a few creepy bastards about.

A group of us go together, 8am every day.

Hi Nadja.

- Been a long time. - Yeah.

Are you OK, Nadja?

I didn't know that you were in this situation.

I'm fine.

It's not something I advertise.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Is this, um, like, an official interview, or...?

No, um...

This is just us, OK?

Oh.

Uh...

Jesus Christ...

What?

Have you ever felt like Zoe's tried to contact you?

Yes.

Usually, it's all in my head.

So many women in the street look like her.

But there was one time, a few years ago, that...

I know I wasn't imagining it.

And what happened?

Well... There was this woman

who parked outside my flat at night

and was just watching.

When I went to see what's going on, she took off.

But I... I know, I...

I felt it was Zoe.

I think she's been trying to contact me.

I've been getting phone calls on the night Zoe disappeared

for the last eight years.

And the caller doesn't say anything, but...

I know it's her.

Why haven't you told me this before?

At first, I thought it was just a troll.

And I didn't want to get your hopes up

if it was just some hoax.

But, last night...

last night I got another call.

Did you tell Detective Cormack?

No.

I've got to prove that it's her first.

You like that, Rick?

Right, tools down. Union inspection.

- Can you give us 5 minutes, please, Rick? Thanks. - Sure.

Very sturdy.

What do one of these joints set you back?

About 1.3 mil. You in the market?

Not that market, no.

Do you mind if we have a chat alone for a sec?

Oh, no, it's fine. That's my brother, Will.

Will. James Cormack.

I'm glad you're reinvestigating. Thanks.

Um...

Yesterday, you mentioned that you thought Zoe was murdered.

By Joseph Rua.

He has an alibi.

What, Melody Forster?

Little Miss Free Love, Free Drugs.

She's not a serious person.

Joseph volunteered at that radio station

specifically to target younger women.

Well, the cops back then couldn't find a link

between Joseph and Zoe's disappearance.

Those detectives were inept.

Joseph was a 30-year-old vagrant

living right next to Zoe's favourite running trail.

Where was that?

Blue Gum Track, near Mt Coonowrin.

Joseph saw her, he preyed on her,

and I believe he killed her.

What was Zoe's emotional state at the time?

Yeah, she was struggling after Cody's suicide.

And we helped her through that.

But we couldn't keep Joseph away from her.

Have you interviewed him yet?

- Not yet, but I will. - Yeah.

I just want to confirm your original statement.

So you left the party at around midnight?

Yeah.

We had a call with US investors

back at the office.

And what time did you return home?

We were in the office all night, mate.

Yanks weren't happy with our proposal,

so we had to redo it.

Alright, I'll, um... I'll let you get back to work.

Um...

Look, I'm sorry to be the one

that has to bring all this up again.

Just find out where he buried her body

so we can bring her home.

I'll walk you out, mate.

Thank you.

I know he seems detached,

it's just how he's learned to cope.

Yeah, well, I'd be pretty angry too if I was him.

Yeah.

How's Nadja coping?

Similar to Leo.

Probably worse, considering the circumstances.

What circumstances?

Living in the van.

What? I didn't know.

I find that kind of strange. How could you not know that?

We haven't really kept in touch.

She doesn't talk to her son?

No, he's not talking to her.

They had a falling out at Seb's 21st.

Nadja tried to reconnect, but Seb wasn't ready yet.

You close to Zoe?

Yeah.

What do you reckon happened?

Zoe did want to leave Moorvale. She talked about it.

Then Cody died, so I think Zoe just wanted to

get away from everything for a while. Yeah.

So you believe it's possible that Zoe just up and left town?

Yeah, I want to, man. I want to.

Uh...

I used to have these dreams

about where she was living in a snow town in New Zealand,

beach village in WA.

But then, when I got sober,

I realised that if those daydreams were true...

..it had meant that she'd cut ties with us completely,

and I just can't fathom that.

To be honest, both options are pretty horrible,

so I just try not to think about it, you know?

No, you're not getting TikTok.

So unfair!

I know! Life is an eternal struggle.

Go visit Granddad. I'll be there in a sec.

Samara Kahlil! Long time.

Hey, Ella Vuko! How's life at the Feds?

Oh, not much different. Better biscuits in the mess.

What's up?

Um, listen, I've been getting calls from a blocked number,

and I need to know who it is.

Can you trace it for me?

Yeah, but it sounds like you don't have the paperwork.

- Yeah, it's personal. - Right.

It's kind of a long story, but um..

I don't need to hear it.

Text me the date and the time of the call.

- Thank you, Vook. - OK.

I can't believe I told him to fuck off.

He knew you loved him.

I just don't understand.

Why didn't he talk to us?

Should get to the wake.

You want a drink?

Mum and Dad are here.

They don't really get the Aussie tradition

of getting hammered at funerals.

They prefer old-fashioned Lebanese misery.

At least your parents came.

Heavy day.

You alright?

Um, not really.

Why are you here, Sean? You weren't friends with Cody.

It's a good photo op for Mum.

Council elections are coming up.

You're such a prick.

I'm just fucking around, Khalil.

Knew Cody since primary school.

I'm worried about you.

I know how tight you guys were.

Want me to get you a drink?

Um, yeah. Can I have a beer, actually?

Beer?

- Do you want a tonic? - Fine.

Alright.

He's just here chasing sad-girl sex.

Do not get back together with him.

It's not like that.

He's actually been really supportive.

His dad died when he was five, so...

he knows what it's like to lose someone.

I miss him.

He loved you so much.

Oh, he was so happy on the radio.

That was our first show.

Just drunk two litres of coke.

We were seeing who could not pee for the longest.

Um...

Mandy...

Do you mind if I...

leave some of those on the tables

for people to take home?

What is it?

It's Cody. How I knew him.

You know, I don't want people to forget...

..how he lived.

Because...

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Oh.

I got something for you, actually.

I can't take that.

He'd want you to have it.

All done? Thanks.

Let me get another round?

Hey. If you wouldn't mind signing the condolence book?

- Hey, Joseph. - Hey.

You remember Samara?

Heard you... found him.

- How are you holding up? - I can't sleep.

Thanks. Really appreciate it.

See him up there every time I close my eyes.

On the bright side, though,

I can't eat either, so I've dropped a dress size.

Can you guys sign the condolence book

when you get a chance?

Of course, Brad.

Mandy's trying to gather as many stories about Cody

as she can.

Sam.

What's wrong?

Is it Sean? I can tell him to leave.

Fuck, Zoe.

Not everything's about you all the time.

Everyone's tiptoeing around

pretending like they don't know why he did it.

What do you mean?

You'd know if you weren't so busy

obsessing over your own non-existent problems.

Hi, Sam.

Sorry, Zuzu. I'm so sorry.

- I was here the whole time. - Where's Dad?

Oh, something came up at work.

You're late. It's almost over.

I know, darling, but Seb fell asleep in the car

- and I couldn't just... - You're unbelievable.

Hey, do you want to get out of here?

Uh... Sure.

Zoe, um, where are you going?

Um, I don't know.

Fuck! Away from you.

Darling, you're making a scene.

Yeah, I don't give a fuck, Mum. My best friend is dead.

Oh, cheese.

Hello?

Nadja?

- Stop! Stop, stop, stop. - What?

Oh. Sorry.

Do you want a kombucha?

That fancy Japanese beer?

No. I only drink Australian-owned stuff.

It's fermented tea.

Lemon-lime organic tea with high...

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Then why are you offering it to me, then?

I hate waste.

Um...

I wanted to go over with you, uh...

What happened the night Aunt Zoe went missing?

Well, it's going to sound awful, but, um...

I wasn't paying much attention to Zoe at the party.

I was pretty busy making sure

everything was perfect for her, so...

After we cut the cake,

the adults went home, kids kept partying,

I went to bed and...

When I woke up the next morning, Zoe was gone.

Do you know anyone that Zoe might have met up with that night?

No.

No.

Everyone she knew was at the party.

Joseph wasn't. Leo kicked him out.

Yeah, but Joseph had an alibi. He was with Melody.

And, um, Zoe was in Brisbane.

We got the data from her phone, so...

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What do YOU think happened?

I'm just gathering information at the moment.

Oh, yeah.

You think she met with someone and they hurt her, don't you?

I hope not.

Yeah.

It's completely out of character

for Zoe not to be in contact with us.

So we're desperately worried about where she is,

and that she's OK.

If you have any information, please call the hotline.

Um, and Zoe, if you're watching this,

please come home.

Is there a problem with the food, sir?

No, actually, quite the opposite.

This steak...

is to die for.

Speaking of which,

I'd love to have a little chat with you about Zoe Jacobs.

- Sorry, what? - I'm a detective.

OK, well... let's see some ID, then.

Voila.

Right, so you're a real cop, then, eh?

Not one of Leo's boys.

When's the last time you saw Zoe?

It's all in my original statement, sir.

You were kicked out of her 21st birthday

the night she disappeared.

By her father.

You didn't happen to meet up with her after that, did you?

It's all in the statement.

You started your first business

right after Zoe's disappearance.

Where'd you get the money for that?

I know that's not in your statement.

I'll be in touch.

In the meantime, I suggest you get a lawyer.

Oh!

Can I get some tomato sauce, please?

And then, when you're ready, let go of the string

and fling it that way.

Look at that, Mum!

Jimmy! Jimmy, quick, get over here! I got one!

James, help your brother.

He's fine, Mum.

- Keep going. You've got this. - What are you doing?

Quick, get the knife!

- Is that number three? - Yep.

Wow, we really are in blessed waters.

Boo!

Yeah, you should kiss its butt.

- Mum, do you want a taste? - No.

Speaking of requests,

I got one earlier, on the email, from your number-one fan,

deepblue32@yahoo.com.

This better not be another poem.

It's a song dedication.

One I'm sure will soften your hard heart.

You're an idiot.

"I want to dedicate Here Is Gone by Goo Goo Dolls

"to my ZeeJay.

"I'm not the one who broke you.

"I'm not the one to fear.

"I'll lay a thousand roses at your feet."

Fuck, Cody, quit it.

- "your feet." - Fuck, Cody, quit it.

"the email,

"from your number-one fan, deepblue32@yahoo.com."

- Do you have a minute? - Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey.

Who was Zoe's number-one fan?

The guy sending creepy messages to her radio show

just before she disappeared.

I don't remember, but...

song dedications weren't a big deal. Lots of people did them.

Yeah, well, this one had Zoe spooked.

Anyone come to mind?

Could it have been Joseph Rua?

I doubt it.

They were flirting a bit,

but nothing ever happened between them.

OK.

I think we should go for a walk.

OK.

Show me where Zoe's running track was.

Oof!

- Was Zoe sporty? - Uh, not really.

It was more cosmetic.

Her mom made her pretty paranoid about her weight.

What was their relationship like?

Loving, but volatile.

They're both big personalities.

What about you and Zoe?

Zoe was my best friend,

back when...

back when that meant everything.

But...

She was also my first heartbreak.

The one that changes how you see the world.

So... Married? Kids?

Cats?

I got married. I had Ava.

Got divorced. That was pretty fun.

What about you?

I wish I had kids.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

How old's Ava?

13.

I think having kids is...

the best thing that could ever happen to you.

You know this whole thing

mightn't turn out the way you want it to?

Yeah, I know.

Seen it in my head already a thousand times.

I still believe that Zoe is alive, but...

It's hard not to imagine every violent possibility.

That's why I'm offering you a way out.

Of the case.

I don't want one. I just want to find her.

This is the end of the trail.

That's private property.

Thank you.

She used to park her car up here.

Sometimes after a run she'd go for a swim to cool off.

This place is beautiful.

Where was Joseph staying?

In a house on the hill up there.

- Morning. - Morning.

How are you feeling?

Um...

Deeply regretful.

Ouch. Yeah, burn.

Not that. Just...

The third bottle of wine.

Oh... My head feels like a broken distortion pedal.

Yeah, well, nothing kills a hangover

like a swim.

I don't have any togs.

You've never needed them before.

I'll join you this time.

Samara, Zoe's here.

I'm going to work. Zoe, eat something.

You're wasting away.

Hey.

Hey.

Um, you wanna...

tell me what I did to turn you mental yesterday?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have taken it out on you.

Why were you so angry?

I just couldn't stand to see Brad there,

comforting Mandy, pretending like it wasn't his fault.

He, um, he hits Mandy?

And Cody too?

That's why he wanted to stay with me that night.

And I said no.

It's not your fault, OK? It's Brad's.

Why is Mandy still with him?

She doesn't have anywhere to go.

She should report him.

If she tells the police and they find out that she's homeless,

they'll take Ziggy and Cass off her.

People need to know what he did.

Maybe Mandy can't tell them, but we can.

OK, that's enough, Zo.

Let's go.

He must have been so scared.

What are you doing? Zoe!

What are you doing?

Shit!

Fuck.

- Hey! Hey! - Get in!

- Hey, what are you doing? - Get in!

Hey!

Fuck!

Motherfucker!

Get back!

That's terrible.

And to think this sort of thing is happening in Moorevale.

Zoe had nothing to do with it, I am certain.

Just give Will a call, Dave.

He'll confirm it.

Oh, there she is.

Hello, darling.

You know Sergeant Gee?

Yep. Hiya, Dave.

Zoe.

Dave was just saying that

Brad Holt's car was vandalised tonight

and he was accusing you of doing it.

But I was just explaining that that's impossible

because you've been at the office with your uncle, working.

Yeah, until midnight.

Can you arrest Dad for that?

- Sorry for wasting your time. - No, it's not a problem, Dave.

I'll confirm this with Will in the morning.

- Alright. - Goodnight, Dave.

Where were you tonight?

Just hanging out.

Just hanging out? You smell of petrol.

Zoe... What are you doing?

Hm?

That bloke that you've been hanging out with, Joseph,

he's a lowlife.

You don't even know him.

I know that you've been making bad decisions

that could damage my reputation.

So this is about you?

No, this is about all of us.

We could lose the business if we don't get some work soon.

Look...

I know that what you went through with Cody

doesn't just go away.

And it breaks my heart that

I couldn't protect you from that then, but I can now.

So, what we're going to do is defer uni for a semester

and you're going to come and work for me.

Learn the ropes.

I'm going to look after you, OK?

What? I worked my ass off on this.

I'm going to be there to pitch it.

You smell like a brewery.

Oh, piss off. You sound like Dad.

They'd laugh us out of the room.

I'm not going to let you fuck up this opportunity.

I'm taking Gita.

She's done most of the work anyway.

Let's go.

You're fucking joking.

Hey, Zoe.

I'm sorry, Will.

He never sees how much work I do.

Thanks.

..that every generation

probably says this about the younger generation,

but that's your point, Marlene.

Look, that's absolutely my point.

I just think, "Get a job.

"Get a job, you lazy things."

Pick up an axe, or pick up a saw, and...

They need to know what an honest day's work's...

What is this?

That's the job we're pitching on today.

18 luxury villas out on Riverview Road.

This was Cody's home.

Judging by the emails,

many of you know that Cody died a few weeks ago.

I don't know if I can keep doing this show without him,

but, um...

I wanted to honour him tonight.

Cody was the funniest person I've ever met.

And kind.

He was too good for this world.

A world that thinks that a bunch of luxury villas

are more important than

a safe home for a single mum with her kids.

I won't be taking any requests tonight.

I'm just playing songs for Cody.

♪♪ One, two, three, four

♪♪ Do you realise

♪♪ That you have the most beautiful face? ♪♪

- Samara? You want to come and... - No. Can you knock?

You haven't listened to those in a long time.

Yeah.

Habibi...

Are you sure you should be working on this case?

It took you so long to recover after she disappeared.

I have to.

I always thought that she just...

took her trust fund and ran, you know?

But...

Now I know it's not that simple.

Either somebody hurt her...

..or she ran from someone that was gonna.

Either way, I need to find her.

Val?

- Morning. - Morning.

Morning. - Morning.

Did you hear that?

- Morning. - Morning.

I thought we were meeting on-site.

I needed to talk to you privately.

Do you know Nadja's homeless?

What? How?

I don't know. The cop told me.

She's living out of a van.

Leo, we need to help her.

The business is flying, and we owe her.

- She helped us break through. - Just let me process this, OK?

I'll have to talk to Gita.

Have you told Seb?

Told Seb what?

Bit early for a shoey, isn't it?

I was the one that made the tape in Zoe's backpack.

Cody had me record every one of their shows

so that he could listen back to it

and improve his performance.

The tape that Zoe took was...

the last show that they ever did together.

And these... these are all the rest of them.

Thank you.

This will be helpful.

- What's that one? - That one's for me.

That's, uh...

..all my memories of Zoe.

It's time I stopped hiding from them.

How did Zoe cope after she found...

..Cody hanging?

Yeah, she wasn't in a good way.

You can't unsee what she saw, you know?

But then, when she found out what Brad did to Cody,

she just completely lost it.

Wait.

Question.

Who's Brad?

DUI, possession, serious assault.

So you and Zoe torched this guy's car, huh?

No, Zoe did.

I just drove.

Ah. The wheelman.

And you didn't think to tell the cops back in '03

about this, huh?

I never told ANYONE.

Well, obviously we have to

have a little chat with Bradley here, don't we?

Mate, can you turn your music down?

- Sorry, can't hear you. - Turn your music down.

- Hey, turn your music down, mate! - No.

Turn your fucking music down, mate!

Sarge!

Hey, Sarge!

What?

I think I know who deepblue32 is.

The song dedications.

Deep Blue is a computer chess program.

Zoe's ex, Sean Cosgrove made the state finals in chess

when we were at uni.

How come he wasn't interviewed back then?

His mum gave a statement saying that she was with him

after the party.

Let me guess. Mummy said he was home.

Yeah, well, Julie Cosgrove was the mayor back then.

She's a senator now.

Well, at least politicians don't lie, right?

Set up an interview with him.

Hey...

Hi, Dad.

Are you still mates with Sean Cosgrove?

No, this bill is about more than jobs.

It's about providing people homes.

Yeah, and if you offered bipartisan support,

we could start addressing the crisis immediately.

Yeah.

Alright.

Alright. We'll meet up next week.

Bye.

Hey.

Did you know that Zoe's case has been reopened?

- They have new evidence. - Evidence of what?

I don't know,

but my contact said my name has been mentioned.

OK, I'll look into it.

The case has been reviewed before.

Nothing's ever come of it.

My name has never been mentioned before.

I'm not the only one that has something to worry about here, Mum.

Shaun, calm down.

Darling, I'll handle it, alright?

How has your return to duty been?

How's work been treating you?

Some days are better than others.

But you like your job, right?

Poking around in the dark corners of people's minds.

I like helping people.

What about you? Why did you become a cop?

Free parking.

Good perk.

Seriously, though?

I don't know.

Survival, at first.

I was living on the street

and the academy was way out of that.

What made you become a head shrinker?

I can write my own prescriptions.

THAT is a good perk.

How does the job impact your personal relationships?

You trying to find out if I'm single?

No, I can tell you're single.

I'm asking why.

I guess dead bodies and...

..missing kids...

..doesn't make for good dinner-party chat, you know?

Are you lonely?

Do you know anyone that isn't?

Tell me about your mother.

God, you just go straight for the jugular, don't you?

Um...

She was a factory worker.

She had these rough hands.

She...

She always smelled like cigarettes.

She was a really bad singer.

But I remember her being such a good dancer.

She was kind.

Yeah.

She was really kind.

And what about Richie?

Those memories are a bit harder to hold on to.

I can't remember what's real and what I've imagined.

How do you cope with not knowing what's happened to him?

I know this goes against your business model,

but by just pushing it deep down inside.

What happens when you can't push it deep down?

I hope however he died was quick and painless.

So you've relinquished any hope that he's still alive?

I haven't seen him in 25 years.

I couldn't find him.

And he hasn't found me.

I don't believe in hope.

I believe in evidence, so...

Jesus.

I knew you'd see sense.

Eventually.

Where can I find the guy that

you claimed you set Richie up with?

Mark won't talk to you alone.

I'm coming.

Whatever.

Put some pants on.

What's this about, Tommy? I'm busy.

You look at Gordon fucking Ramsay here!

We need to know who you set my son up with for that job.

- Who's he? - That's my other son.

I don't see the resemblance.

Neither does he.

But I know it's there.

Deep down.

Who was it?

I don't know what he's talking about.

- I think he's having a lend of you. - Mark...

I did my time. Now I do dishes.

I'm not part of that world anymore.

I never even met your brother.

Jimmy...

He just don't want to snitch, that's all.

Hey, Vook, how'd you go?

Hey, look, I looked into your unknown caller.

- I'll send you the number. - Yeah?

Unfortunately, it's a prepaid burner,

so, no user details.

- Shit. - Yeah.

So, what - that's it?

I could dig a little deeper,

but I'd need the paperwork.

Yeah, that could be tricky. Let me think about it.

No worries.

Look, there was one other thing...

The call you received the other night

was made from Moorevale.

So, whoever you're looking for is not far away.
