Original subtitles

Sorry you had to see that.

They, um...

They found a medical plate.

Did Zoe ever break her arm?

Yeah.

Yeah, in a...

in a mosh pit in the '99 Warped Tour.

Yeah, she always had to be near the stage.

I have been angry at Zoe for 20 years.

I always thought that...

..she just left me behind.

But she's been here the whole time.

I need to find the person who did this.

They need to pay for what they've done.

It's her. Sorry.

Oh, God!

Oh, Zoe!

You OK?

Yep.

Just...

wasn't expecting that to be so, uh...

raw.

He always thought that Zoe was dead, you know?

Oh, God.

I can't...

I can't go with you to tell Nadja.

It's OK.

Hey, I understand.

Mm-mm. I, uh...

I gave her false hope.

I've been getting these phone calls

from a blocked number.

And the calls came every year,

on the night that Zoe disappeared.

And I know it's stupid, but...

I just wanted to believe that it was Zoe.

- Why didn't you tell me this? - Oh, I'm sorry.

I had a mate in the Feds trace it unofficially.

It was, um...

But it was a burner.

I think it's just some sick fucking troll.

I'm not so sure it's a troll.

You...

You think it was the killer? Why would they contact me?

To make sure you...

think that she's still alive.

And to make you think that she doesn't want to be found.

Oh, fuck.

OK.

I'll go tell Nadja.

In the meantime,

you get the paperwork organised and...

Get the phone calls traced officially.

Hello, darling.

Is everything OK?

I just got an email.

My rent assistance claim was denied.

Oh, shit.

I should just go home.

No!

No, don't. Sit, sit, sit, sit.

It's not safe, for you or the baby.

I'll work something out.

I can find us somewhere to live.

- Us? - Yes.

I can look after you and the baby.

I can keep you safe.

Just...

Don't tell him where you live.

I promise you, I'll sort something out.

Are you sure it's Zoe's car?

Yes.

So... have you tested the remains?

Do you have the results?

No. So you can't be sure it's Zoe.

The DNA results will, um, take some time.

But they did find a medical plate

that matches the one Zoe had.

Lots of people break their arms.

You can't be sure it's her.

I'm really sorry, Nadja.

If there's anything I can do, I'm here.

You don't know it's her.

I have to get ready for work.

- Hi, Mum. - Hi.

I love you, baby.

I love you too.

Are you alright?

You finished those potatoes, Ava?

Mum, you really stink.

He's a killer.

They're all killers -

George W, Blair, Howard.

There were no WMDs, just oil.

They're estimating 100,000 people were gathered

to protest the invasion of Iraq.

It's so important to get out

and have your voices heard.

I asked Dad if he'd rent us a bus

to drive everyone to Brisbane.

What did he say?

Funding revolutionaries was bad for business.

Oh, God.

OK, to get you fired up for the march,

we're doing protest songs tonight.

This one's a banger.

Keep it locked. We're here till dawn.

Well, we don't need no-one to tell us what to do

Why, yes, we're on our own and there's nothing you can do

So we don't need no-one like you

To tell us what to do

Hey.

Hi.

Haven't seen you around at the station lately.

We cool?

Um, yeah. No, I just...

..needed a break.

The studio makes me think of Cody.

Right, right.

I, um...

thought it might have been because Melody's back in town.

You don't have to explain.

It was, um, casual with us.

You know, you're much more put together

than I was at your age.

And you look much cuter in a blazer as well.

Corporate-stooge chic.

Plug me into the matrix.

Speaking of pills and freeing yourself...

Big 21st!

- You don't have to come. - No, no, I want to come.

I can sort some party favours as well, if you want.

Yeah, cool. Let me give you some money.

Oh, that's right.

The big old inheritance comes in right before the party.

If my, um... my first purchase is drugs,

How does that bode for my future?

Fuck the future, right?

Gotta go.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Anything I can do to help?

Um... There is, but it's pretty boring.

Hmm. Is it also menial?

Because that's when I really shine.

Well, I'm organising an event

to mark Mont Vista breaking ground.

Can you go down this list of VIPs

and confirm who's attending?

Yep, no problem.

The CEO of LGV Developments is coming?

He's the asshole that evicted Cody and Mandy.

No, I don't think so.

LGV only acquired the land recently.

They've been looking for a suitable site for over a year.

So who owned the land?

Um, an investment firm.

Sapphire Futures.

Yeah, the timing worked out pretty well for them.

Got to take this.

I ain't got long

Before I start to fade

I've been loved to much

You say that I've lost touch

I was lying low in my haze

I've been crying so hard

You'd think that I would break

But it gets my nights out of the way

- I've been - I've been

- Counting - Counting

What a cheeky bugger!

He wasn't even meant to go to that festival.

I was so glad that he was there.

He went full berserker mode

to get me out of that crowd.

He lost a shoe,

but he didn't look back.

Then he came to the hospital with me

and stayed while they set the break.

Like, he missed the headliners to be with me.

It's so nice to swim in your memories of him.

I feel like Cody's fading away.

I can't keep him out of my head.

Hey, um, I've got a box of Cody's things,

like his sketchbooks and stuff.

When's it safe for me to bring it around?

Oh, just bring them here.

Don't... Don't come to the house.

Brad's still raging about the ute.

Oh, I've got to get back to work.

If Cody's still haunting you here,

maybe you should get out of town.

You're young.

Go live your life.

Maybe you should get out too.

You weren't invited.

I just need to talk to Sam.

Ladies, calm down, OK?

Yallah, this is your song. Go.

You're on bridesmaid's duty again?

Rough. I'm sorry.

That's what you're sorry about?

Come on, I made a mistake.

I just wanted one night,

to actually let go and have fun.

- Look, I messed up. I get it. - No, you don't.

You don't understand the pressure on me.

If I mess up, it's a slap in the face for my whole family.

Just go home, Zoe.

When Cody and I started our show,

I was actually too shy to talk on air.

So, Cody always said

just imagine there's only one person listening.

So, Samara...

..this is an apology.

Only for you.

You must've seen a lot of fucked-up shit. How do you block it out?

Whiskey.

Valium.

Re-runs of Monkey Magic.

How does somebody just...

dump her body like that, like she was nothing?

Maybe Brad?

We know he's capable of hurting women.

- Any luck tracking down Cody's mum? - No.

I'm starting to worry that Mandy's at the bottom of a different dam.

- Cody had siblings, right? - Yeah.

Why don't you try to track them down?

They might lead you to her.

Joseph should be here by now.

Let him wait.

Hi. Detective Cormack.

Joseph.

Just so you guys know,

that camera up there will be recording this interview.

Let's get started, shall we?

So...

I wanted to give you the chance to correct any errors

you may have made in your 2003 statement.

Well, my statement was accurate.

You guys just never listened to me.

- When's the last time you saw Zoe? - The day before her party.

- Did you happen to see her after the party? - No.

I was with Melody all night.

Melody sees it differently now.

Did you ever sell Zoe drugs?

No.

Come on, stop lying, buddy.

We found this in Zoe's things.

It's got your fingerprints all over it.

The statute of limitations for a summary drug offence

is 12 months.

You lied to me about the drugs.

You lied to me about sleeping with Zoe.

I am starting to get some real trust issues.

I was at Xanadu all night with Melody, OK?

Well, what a fucking coinkidinky.

Zoe went to Xanadu that night,

and you were at Xanadu that night.

- Wow. - No, she didn't.

We searched the property.

OK, so?

We found Zoe's remains in a dam.

No, that's...

That's not possible.

They're setting me up again. This is just like back then.

Joseph, don't say anything more.

You've always wanted to pin this on me, eh?

You never believed me when I told them about Sean,

and now you're trying to set me up again.

Stop talking now.

Are you laying any charges?

No.

Then we're leaving.

Yeah.

Can you hold on one sec? How'd it go?

He didn't blink when I said we searched Xanadu.

I don't think he knew she was there.

- Sarge! - What did you do?

What did you do to my girl?

What the fuck did you do to her?

What did you do to my girl, you piece of shit?

- Where's he going? - Get him in.

- Why are you letting him go? - Get him inside.

- I can't sleep. - I know, mate.

I can't...

That's a good one.

This one's really cute.

The koala wee'd on her just after I took that snap.

Check the Hamilton Island folder.

There's great ones there, mate.

Hi.

Your place hasn't changed much.

Well, you know Dad built this house.

I don't want to change anything.

You've spoken to the detective.

- I'm so sorry, Nadja. - OK.

Look.

They don't have the DNA results yet, OK?

So they don't know it's her. OK? So...

But that's not why I'm here.

That, um...

investment property.

- You offered the flat. - Yeah.

OK, so I thought about it,

and I want you to let a friend of mine stay there.

Oh, OK.

Uh, who?

You said you wanted to help.

So you will be helping a young woman

escape her abusive partner.

Yeah, sure.

I'll, uh, drop the keys round to her.

The...

tattoo - new?

Yeah?

Uh, yeah.

It's nice. I like it. It's, um...

..cool.

How are you doing, since they found Zoe?

I... Um...

I don't want to talk about Zoe.

Can... Can we talk about you?

You know, I know I hurt you

and I let you down on your 21st.

It was a year ago.

There's bigger shit happening now.

Yes, but I think you deserve an explanation.

And, um...

Jeez...

OK, um...

You might feel like

I was abandoning you all over again,

but...

..something happened to me that night.

Jeez.

That sounds important.

Give me a sec. Val?

Yeah?

OK, I'll... I'll be right there.

Sorry, Seb. It's an emergency.

Really, I have to go.

Seb.

I promise you, I...

I promise you, I will explain everything.

Really, I need...

She's gone.

He picked her up around 20 minutes ago.

This is Daisy. Leave a message.

Shit.

Hey, we tried.

- He's gonna do it again. - Probably.

Just...

Hopefully, she will make it out next time, yeah?

This is Daisy. Leave a message.

Fuck.

So, this is everything we pulled from Zoe's car.

The cash was hidden in the jack compartment.

That doesn't look like 25K.

It isn't. It's closer to 15.

- Did you find a weapon? - No.

And we don't have a clear picture on cause of death.

The remains have been in the water a long time.

So...

Zoe could have been alive

when the car went into the water?

It's possible. But I think it's unlikely.

We found this toolbox next to Zoe's remains,

but there was no damage on the car

to indicate she tried to force the boot open from the inside.

It's a pretty fucked up thing to be happy about,

that Zoe was already dead.

Does anything stand out as unusual to you?

This wasn't Zoe's.

This...

This was Sean Cosgrove's.

How can you tell?

Well, Zoe had a Polaroid camera.

She was a bit of a nerd about it.

And I remember, I distinctly remember

Sean bringing this with him everywhere.

You know that photo of Zoe in the dam?

That was done on a home printer.

Not many people had digital cameras back then.

I know that he was obsessing over her.

What if... What if...

...Zoe went to go see Joseph after the party,

but Sean followed her,

and then cut her off before she got there.

And then dumped the car in the dam

to implicate Joseph.

Uh... It's a pretty big property.

Joseph and Melody wouldn't have heard anything.

It's a theory.

Keep working it.

Oh, that was when Zo and I crushed you in gin rummy

for three days straight.

Yeah, I don't know about crushed.

I think you were bottom-dealing the whole trip.

We didn't win a single game.

That's when she cut her finger.

She was making Nadja's Mother's Day breakfast.

- Look at that cheeky little face. - I know.

It gave Naja a good excuse not to eat the terrible pancakes.

Hey, Jimmy,

I found the guy Ritchie was working with.

I'm going to go see him tomorrow,

with or without you.

When we first met,

you told me the number-one rule

when being friends with an Arab girl

was keeping her secrets.

I know I failed to protect you.

I know you lost Cody too, and...

I know you feel so alone.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

As always, music says it better than I can.

Stay tuned for a very special program.

Sorry Songs, For Sam.

Care enough to want to prove

That the pretty ones

Have got less to lose

Zoe, what's wrong?

It was on my car.

It's Sean. He's done this stuff before -

Leaving me gifts, watching me.

He... He thinks it's romantic.

I'm so dumb.

Why did I sleep with him again?

No, no, no. Darling, this is not your fault.

He could email it to people.

He can't do that. I'll talk to Julie.

She'll set him straight.

I don't want Dad to know.

I won't tell anyone.

And I'm pretty sure Julie will appreciate us

keeping it discreet.

So, what makes you think Sean took this?

He's been having problems letting go.

Despite the fact that Zoe made it very clear

she's no longer interested in the relationship.

Well, she seemed pretty interested

when she was in bed with Sean last week.

Julie, whatever happened, it's... it's private.

And your son's behaviour is unacceptable.

It's actually criminal.

- Is that a threat? - No.

Zoe just wants him to stop.

I thought you would understand.

Well, I understand that this is the dam at Melody's place.

And Sean tells me that Zoe's been having a...

fling with a drifter who's staying there.

Maybe he took this.

No, Joseph wouldn't do that.

This is Sean wanting revenge.

Look, I understand that it's in-vogue

for girls to play the field like the boys these days.

But... if you do,

you have to accept that people will start to see you

as this kind of girl.

You're telling me you're not going to pull Sean into line?

You can't prove it's my son.

And making a fuss of this

is just going to complicate things for Leo.

Sean is helping bring your company finances

into the internet age.

And the Jacobs Family Construction's

poised to do big things.

It would be a shame to disrupt that momentum.

..head hurts, my brain feels bad

Try to remember where my money went

I see a picture, yeah, inside my brain

I see a room but not your name

I sit around until it wears thin

Revolution and we fuck again

In the city

We forget our names

Forget the games

Fuck shit up, start over again

It's ZeeJay with you.

It's coming up on 12am.

So if you're still up,

you might as well dance.

Yo.

I'd like to request

Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake.

Fuck off, Sean.

Hi, you've reached the Cosgroves.

We can't get to the phone right now,

but leave a message, and we'll get back to you.

Thanks for the lift.

We made good progress tonight.

Wait here.

You're very generous.

If Sapphire Futures needs my assistance

on any other votes, you just let me know.

I will. Goodnight, George.

Hang on, I need to use your bathroom.

I've got a long drive.

Good.

Just punch up the section on tax cuts.

It's all donors want to hear.

You're here early.

I wanted a moment of the senator's valuable time

before the bloodsuckers arrived.

The police found Zoe's body.

Jesus.

Oh, poor Leo.

Now's not the time to be sentimental, Mum.

We're not dealing with the local clowns anymore.

The cop from Brisbane is a worry.

I've been looking into him.

He's got pressure points we can exploit.

I've always protected you.

Us.

Always protected us.

So, where's this guy?

So you trust me now?

I know that you're telling the truth about Ritchie.

That's all.

That's him coming NOW, in the blue top.

Eh. Wait a minute.

Let him have his meeting first.

He's trying to make a positive change in his life.

We can wait.

What are you, his sponsor?

I know what he's battling.

I'm just grateful that God helped me overcome it.

Same God that saves kiddy-fiddling priests.

You are in good company.

Mm, sure, it's not perfect, but...

but he gave me a framework.

So I did ALL the programs inside.

anger management.

Did your self-help journey

teach you why you killed Mum?

No.

But I learned why I became the type of man

who used fear to govern my world.

I'm not trying to shift blame, but...

I was a product of violence.

Was Grandad as violent as you?

Yeah.

And your Uncle Jim.

Your namesake.

Remember the famous motorbike accident

when I was 18?

That was their handiwork.

When I was 11...

...they ruptured my spleen.

Yeah, well, not every kid that gets hit

passes on the joy to others.

It wasn't Grandad that was burning me with cigarettes

just for fun.

I'm not looking for forgiveness.

I'm just trying to help you, son.

I can see the same darkness in you that I had.

Alright, just wait a while here.

Is that little Ava? Hi, darling.

Oh, my God, she's grown so much.

Listen, Nadja, um...

- Oh, yes, yes. - I need to ask you...

Do you remember what it was like

between Sean and Zoe at the end?

Sean?

- Yeah. - Why?

We have reason to believe that he was obsessing over her.

And, uh, I'm sorry to have to show you this,

but we found this photo in Zoe's bag...

Is that the nude photo?

Don't.

Did you...

Did you know about this?

Zoe and Sean slept together,

that night that Zoe was supposed to be your cover story

for that date you went on, or something.

Sean thought they were back together.

Zoe thought it was a big mistake.

So Sean took that photo,

and then threatened to send it to everyone to humiliate her.

Nadja, why have you never told the police this before?

Because Zoe didn't want anyone to find out,

and I was ashamed that I didn't stand up for her more.

And I know,

I know it's not the only reason she left,

but it contributed.

Nadja, she didn't leave.

You know that now, right?

Move your car.

OK.

I need to go to work.

How well does this dickhead know Ritchie?

Barely.

They did a job together, shifting cargo

from the Brisbane docks down to Dubbo.

- What type of cargo? - I don't know.

Doubt they even knew, really.

Trip south went smooth. On the way back,

Ritchie did a runner with the cash.

Who's the cash belong to?

I haven't been able to find out.

You try to keep that temper of yours in check.

Catch more flies with honey.

There's my little savage.

I don't know where he's at. I don't know. I don't know.

- Ah, fuck, fuck, fuck. - Where's Ritchie?

I don't know where he is, I don't know where he is.

But he did steal my car.

What type of car would that be?

So, what do we do next?

I've got Ritchie's number plate now.

You helped me with that and I thank you.

But WE are done.

I think you're forgetting that he came to me

when he wanted help, not to you.

Oh, I'm not forgetting that.

Any chance of a lift home?

You've spent 25 years cooped up.

You could use a walk.

Preferably one in heavy traffic.

We've got a housing crisis

that's been made worse by red tape.

I want to put tools in tradie's hands

so that we can put families into houses.

Kahlil.

I didn't think you'd vote for Mum,

let alone pay a thousand bucks a plate

to back her re-election.

Was Zoe alive...

when you sunk her car?

What the hell are you talking about?

You wanted to own her, didn't you?

I know that you followed her to Xanadu.

Yeah. And I know that you fucking killed her.

You're embarrassing yourself.

Can we call a car for the lady?

I think she's had too much to drink.

Shit. You know what?

You were an incel before they even existed.

She didn't want to fuck you and so you killed her.

And I'm going to prove that you fucking did it.

We should start by addressing

what happened last time we saw each other.

I took a couple of Minties off your desk.

I thought they were free.

I swear.

The other night, at the bar.

- That was inappropriate. - Inappropriate?

It was all pretty tame to me.

Two grown-ups having a drink together.

We crossed a line.

There's a power imbalance in this relationship, James.

I'm happy to be a sub.

My safe word is 'continue'.

I'm going to have to refer you on to one of my colleagues

to complete your evaluation.

I don't want anybody else. I want you.

You're helping me.

I'm not sure that's true.

You've been actively avoiding engaging with the process.

OK.

I lied to you.

In our very first session,

you asked me if I'd seen my father

since he got out of prison.

I have.

Why did you lie?

Because he frightens me.

Are you scared he'll hurt you again?

I'm scared that I'll hurt him.

I can feel myself turning into him.

How do you control this anger when it raises its head?

Barely.

How's that? Hm?

Engaged enough to avoid us breaking up?

Let's not add delusions of grandeur

to your long list of issues.

We're not together, James.

Not yet.

Come on, mate. It's time for bed.

No, no, no. I'm good. I'm good.

All good.

Hey, have a drink with me.

That's not funny, Leo.

You've been sober for years. One drink won't hurt you.

Come on, you've had enough. It's time for bed.

Up you get.

Just... Just have a drink for Zoe.

Hey, come on, come on.

Come on.

She was under the water this whole time.

Yeah.

It's OK, mate. I got you. I got you.

Hey... Come on.

I got you, mate.

It's OK.

It was my fault.

Hey, Mia,

I need a statewide search on this plate.

The alert comes directly to me, OK? And only me.

Yeah, sarge. Thanks, Mia.

- Cormack. - Boss.

What?

You were an incel before they even existed.

She didn't want to fuck you, and so you killed her.

And I'm going to prove that you fucking did it!

Looks like a shit party. They didn't even have party pies.

OK, this isn't funny.

Do you need to remove Kahlil from the case?

I probably should, but she's an asset to the investigation.

She was friends with the victim.

That's why she's losing it.

Sounds more like she's a liability.

She just saw the body of her best friend

in a car boot.

Sure, she's a little shaky, but she'll pull it together.

It's your call.

But don't harass Julie Cosgrove and her family again

until you have some evidence.

- Got it. Get evidence. - Yes.

So I can harass a politician. Thank you, boss.

OK, that is not what I said...

Thanks for this.

- This is so yummy. - Sahtain.

I'll make you a container.

Oh, that'd be great.

Finally! There she is. Wakey-wakey.

So, tell me,

how was the party?

Uh... Sorry about that. I just lost it, eh.

Did you get my message about the photo?

Yeah.

So Zoe had no idea he took it?

Not till he threatened to send it to everyone that she knew.

Nobody did anything to help her back then.

We have to do something now.

Well, since you, uh, tipped him off,

Sean might decide to, uh, destroy evidence.

Which is why, before leaving Brissie,

I went ahead...

and got a search warrant.

Come on, get dressed.

You'll be late for school.

God, I wish I got to serve that to Sean.

I bet she does, too.

Search warrants and revenge porn -

a little above her pay grade, don't you reckon?

Try the bed.

How did you know that?

It's a boy thing.

Gross.

I just got an email from Melody's accountant.

Xanadu was bought by an investment company

called Sapphire Futures.

Wait, Sapphire?

Like the flat?

Uh-huh. Blah, blah, blah...

They owned the land Mont Vista was built on.

Then they bought Xanadu,

four months after Zoe was buried there.

So they bought that place to keep it hidden.

Joseph didn't have the money to buy Xanadu.

But this little trust fund baby sure did.

Come on.

Come on.

Speak of the devil...

Hey! Hey!

Do you think he saw us?
