No traces of human remains were found at the scene. A nationwide search failed to locate Rosselini or his companion, Ian Kapsis."

Hill: We find this truck, we find the guy.

All we've got to do is track down every b*at-up F100 in the country.

I could really use a cup of coffee, and I got a tyre needs fixing.

Bernie: What part of Ireland?

Eve: Excuse me?

Bernie: Are you from?

County Kerry? Am I right?

Eve: Oh, I'm not Irish.

Now, now. I can pick an accent. Everybody around here says so.

Bernie O'Dell can pick an accent.

County Kelly.

Knew it.

(BERNIE POURS COFFEE)

Eve: Why the face of the Madonna?

Bernie: Can ya read?

On an otherwise ordinary night in 2001, "Wilma O'Dell went to the ladies lavatory with a mop and bucket to clean and was struck dumb! A pattern had formed on the floor tiles under the washbasin in the shape of the face of the Virgin Mary."

Mum. That night changed her life forever.

She had pancreatic cancer, and you know what?

Old cheese kicked on for another 12 years.

$70.50 for that one, plus GST. We take cards. 10% surcharge on Amex.

You must get a lot of visitors.

Busload of cancer patients, once upon a time.

Not many lately.

(VEHICLE APPROACHES)

But... there must be a lot of people, not just tourists.

Oh, everybody passes through the Madonna sooner or later.

Do you happen to know a man who drives a sky-blue Ford truck?

(VEHICLE DOOR CLOSES)

He's a sh**t. He's tall, with a big hat.

(DOOR OPENS)

Red check shirt.

Can't say he rings a bell, but...

(DOOR CLOSES)

Armed robbery.

Someone got sh*t.

You know, if you k*ll him, you'll just go back to jail anyway.

An innocent man d*ed.

Doesn't matter he was a jerk.

Someone's gotta pay for it.

Won't bring them back.

What are you lookin' for?

I'm looking for a girl.

American.

Can't help. Too many.

How about a blue Ford F100?

Never seen it before.

You want to have a good think about that?

I gave you my answer.

How about this bloke?

Bernie: Looks like my husband.

Late husband.

You realise that you're hindering a police investigation here, don't ya?

Mister, I'm not in the business of sucking up to cops.

Life's tough enough already. OK?

Just so you know, this girl that I'm looking for, she's in a lot of danger.

You might be the only one that can help her.

I don't get involved, period.

Man on radio: Can anybody deal? I repeat, we got another dead body.

Location: Darcy's Flat Road, approximately 10k's east of the Madonna Cafe.

Man 2: Salt Lake Zero 20. We can deal.

Man: Got ourselves a Kane Jurkewitz from Kutyukutyu, Western Australia.

Dingoes haven't got to him yet, so we're thinking it's still a pretty fresh k*ll.

Ah, maybe less than 12 hours.

Kutyukutyu? It's a long way from home.

Man: Two suspicious deaths in two days within 50k's of each other.

What do you reckon the flower means, Sarge?

Could be g*ng-related. Payback.

I'll leave you with it, eh?

How's it goin'?

You was here yesterday.

No, I wasn't.

And you were bloody rude.

What do you want this time?

(SIGHS) Tea cosy and a pot holder.

That's more like it.

You know that American Sheila I was tellin' you about?

She might be drivin' a white van.

Remembered an Irish girl in a white van.

Yeah?

Looked like she stuck her head under a lawnmower.

What are you gonna do with her when you find her?

Good question.

Sullivan: "Acting on information obtained from the local Indigenous community, I located Eve Frances Thorogood sleeping rough on the outskirts of Alice Springs town centre. Over the past two days, I've had several discussions with her in an attempt to persuade her to return home to the United States. Only time will tell if I succeed."
