[man] Eli, mate.

Eli?

Eli?

[hisses]

Eli.

Can you hear me, mate?

Just gonna pop this oxygen on.

- [hissing continues]

- Take some deep breaths for me.

[monitor beeps]

[doctor] You're gonna feel

something a bit cold.

["Golden Brown" stops]

[indistinct background chatter]

Welcome back to the real world, mate.

How you travelin'?

[weakly] Water.

Water.

Where am I?

Royal Brisbane.

- Could they put my finger back on?

- Sorry, mate.

Apparently, that wasn't possible.

Where's my mum?

[Slim] Police took her for questioning.

[detective] If you were worried

about your son's continued good health

What about Lyle?

[Slim] Forget about Lyle.

It's your mum you gotta worry about now.

She's probably gonna go to prison.

What for? For how long?

Dealing and possession,

four to five years.

[somber music plays]

No, it She didn't do anything.

That was Lyle and me.

Yeah, well, that's not what she's sayin'.

[crying] Mum did nothing, it's me

who should get the prison sentence.

Careful what you wish for.

What about the blokes who took Lyle?

I dunno anything about that,

and my advice to you is you don't either.

- I'll tell 'em everything

- Eli!

I'll tell them Bich Dang supplies

the whole town with heroin

and pays off the cops.

Shut your f*ckin' voice!

- I'll tell

- Keep your voice down. Shut it.

how Ivan dragged Lyle away

and chopped off my finger.

That's not the story your mum told 'em.

What did she tell them?

She said you and Gus

were horsing around with Star Wars figures

and decided to cut

Darth Vader in half with an a*.

And then Gus took a swing,

cut off your finger,

your mum fainted with shock,

and banged her head.

Jesus, Slim.

Yeah, well, that's her story

and she's stickin' to it.

Why?

I guess to protect you,

and now you gotta protect her.

Sign here.

[Slim] Bad things happen to people

who talk about you-know-who.

Not just to you,

but to the people that you love.

No, no, no, no, this is wrong.

We should definitely tell someone.

Yeah, and who are we gonna tell, eh?

The police are in on it, mate.

Well, you care what happens

to Lyle, don't you?

'Course I do.

But I care more about what happens to you,

and Gus, and your mum.

I'll tell you this

Somebody call the cops!

[Slim] Whatever Lyle's got into,

the last thing he wants

is for you to be in there with him.

And the best way you can help Lyle

is to say nothin'.

Any minute now, a lady'll come in here,

a Dr. Brennan.

She'll ask you for your story.

So quick-smart, you gotta make up

your mind what you're gonna tell her.

You make the wrong decision,

it's not just Lyle you'll lose,

it's Gus and your mum, all in one sh*t.

The card's upside down.

[somber music continues]

[Slim] Now,

just because your mum is in prison,

doesn't mean they can't get to her,

you know what I'm sayin'?

Now, you told me you wanted

to be a good person.

This is a test.

No test is worth anything

unless it's difficult to pass.

And this is yours.

Where's Gus? I wanna speak to Gus.

Yeah, well, he's at Robert's.

Robert's? What's he doing there?

[exhales] He's your father.

That's where you belong, the pair of you.

f*ck that!

We haven't spoken to the bloke in years!

- Eli! [coughs]

- Who says we have to stay there?

Will you do as you're told for once?

[Slim coughs, wheezes]

That doesn't sound good.

You wanna get that cough seen to.

No. No, you doctors will, uh, just try

and stop me from dyin'.

Name's Halliday, friend of the family.

Okay. So has Eli got a place to go now

for when we discharge him?

- No.

- [Slim] He's staying at his dad's place.

Do I get a choice?

Good lad. Okay, now

You got some clothes in here.

Twenty dollars for a taxi.

And this letter came for you,

from your mate at Boggo Road.

Now, you wanna get in touch with me,

you ring Gill at the bottle shop.

You say you got a message for Slim.

Right?

Okay.

Okay.

- Slim Halliday, that's not the

- What?

- The taxi driver k*ller?

- He didn't k*ll that bloke.

Okay, well, anyway, you you tell him

that he needs to get a chest X-ray.

Okay [sighs]

let's have a look at this hand of yours.

I hear you lost your special finger.

All right, let's see

how that wound is healing up, huh?

[grunts] Why can't they

just sew it back on?

Well, it's complicated.

The nerves are really hard to reattach,

and even if you can get them to grow back,

your finger tends to stiffen up

while it's waiting around

to be reconnected.

Well, you just end up

with this useless, numb, hooky thing,

catches on your clothes, gets in the way.

I mean, to be honest,

you're better off without it.

That's a nice clean cut.

Must've been a heck of a sharp a*.

[curtains draw]

Uh, we're busy in here, Christopher.

What do you want?

Tang's too weak again.

That's impossible.

I doubled the strength yesterday.

It's still too weak! I'm f*ckin' dying

and you're givin' me weak Tang?

Just just go away, Christopher,

and close the curtain,

and I will come and see you later.

- What's wrong with him?

- Brain cancer.

- That's sh*t.

- Yeah, that's what he thinks too.

[inhales sharply, grunts]

Why can't they just operate?

Well, I'm not sure.

Want to see

if we can shrink his tumor first.

All right

- [Eli winces]

- so you were saying?

About this accident with the a*

when your brother cut off your finger.

Well, we decided

to, um, execute Darth Vader

to pay him back

for k*lling Obi-Wan Kenobi.

What? No. You think Obi-Wan Kenobi's dead?

Well, he got chopped with a lightsaber

and vanished, so

Well, vanished isn't the same as dead.

Exactly.

[gentle music plays]

All right.

Okay, can you show me

how you were holding Darth Vader?

Like that.

Okay, all right, and your your brother,

he he took a massive great swing

with an a*,

cut off your finger,

clean through that joint,

without damaging

any of the ones next to it?

I I guess so.

Wow, that's a that's a pretty good sh*t.

Then your mum came in the kitchen

and slipped on the blood,

and knocked herself out?

If If that's what she told the cops

- Mm-hmm.

- then then yeah.

What I'm asking, Eli,

is whether you wouldn't like to revise

the story that you just told me

in any way at all.

No, no, no, um, I wouldn't.

Okay. All right.

[inhales deeply] Well, look,

I'll be in to see you a little bit later,

and the police might be in tomorrow.

There's a Detective Tim Cotton

who wants to have a word with you.

[ominous music plays]

All right, then.

Yeah, she's gonna plead guilty,

so we're all good there.

And all the evidence will suggest

that her partner done a runner.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go pay the kid a visit tomorrow.

Make sure he knows to keep schtum.

- [buzzer sounds]

- [door opens]

[ominous music continues]

[inmates taunt indistinctly]

[inmate] Hi! Mornin', darlin'.

[taunting continues]

[door unlocks, opens]

[inmate cackles]

[inmate] Your mum's

not gonna f*ckin' help you now.

[Eli] Dear Alex,

excuse the wonky handwriting.

Long story short,

I wound up in hospital two days ago

after a disagreement with an a*.

The doctor reckons

I'm healing really fast.

Maybe because it was a clean cut.

- Who you writing to?

- A friend of mine.

[Christopher] A friend in Boggo Road Gaol?

- You reckon that's a bad thing?

- What'd your pal go to jail for?

He was a sergeant-in-arms

for a motorcycle g*ng.

Right. So he's a psycho,

and he knows your address now.

- That's pretty dumb.

- Well, he seems friendly in his letters.

- If he's a biker, he's a dead-set psycho.

- Ah, and you know a lot of bikers, do you?

Nah, but my mum does.

- Dr. Brennan says you got brain cancer.

- [Christopher] So?

You gonna start writing letters

to cancer patients now, are ya?

Not if they're all dicks like you.

[snickers]

[indistinct chatter]

- I'm Christopher.

- Eli.

[Christopher] A girl's name.

No, it's not. My dad got it

from a book he was reading.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

I asked them to put on Diff'rent Strokes,

but there's more little kids than big,

so we all watch this sh*t.

These little pricks

will spend the rest of their lives

watching whatever the f*ck they want.

I'll be dead in three months

and can't watch Diff'rent Strokes

when I want to.

Three months? Seriously?

Unless they can operate.

So, what happened to your hand?

You want the truth?

Nah, I want you to bullshit me like

everyone else does in this f*ckin' place.

Well, my stepdad's a smack dealer,

and the enforcer for his network

cut off my finger

with a bloody great hunting Kn*fe.

What'd he do that for?

Thinks my stepdad

has a secret stash somewhere.

[Christopher] Does he?

No idea.

Well, where is he now, your stepdad?

I dunno.

They, uh They smashed him in the face

and then they dragged him off

and then they, um

knocked my mum unconscious, so

Hardcore, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, I just need

to get outta here quick-smart

and do a deal with these kidnappers.

- You're not sh1tting me, are you?

- [Eli] Why would I be?

You're just some psycho

who'll be dead in three months.

[Christopher] How you plannin' to get out?

[Eli] I'll wait for the tea trolley,

they'll be here at 3:00,

and make a distraction

while the doors are unlocked.

What kind of distraction?

Well, when my mate Slim was tryin'

to get out of Boggo Road Gaol,

he set fire to a big heap

of mattress fibers to distract the guards.

[alarm ringing]

His plan was to go through the roof

and over the wall.

Did it work?

[Slim] Get off me, you m*therf*cker!

Get off me!

[Eli] No, not that time,

but he got bloody close.

[intriguing music plays]

[TV chatter continues]

I can do you a distraction.

Just gimme a minute.

Oh, hi, Gene.

Just need to get something from inside.

That was some carry-on the other night.

What happened?

Well, me and Gus decided to chop

an action figure in half with an a*,

and he got my finger instead.

[chuckling] Right.

'Cause when I looked out the window,

I I saw Lyle being dragged off

by two blokes into the boot of a car.

You tell the cops that?

- Too right I did.

- And what did they say?

They told me to keep quiet about it

for my own safety.

Yeah, that figures.

Any word of Lyle?

No, but I'm gonna find him

before anything bad happens to him.

I reckon you're too late for that, matey.

Yeah.

But he did once give me this,

uh, back door key to look after.

"For a rainy day," he said.

- But it's not raining.

- Mate

From what I've seen,

it's bloody well pissin' down.

I never saw you, all right?

Thanks, Gene.

[Eli] Who is this?

[man] What are you doing there?

- I'm looking for Lyle's secret stash.

- How do you know Lyle's got a stash?

Well, Ivan Kroll thought he did.

That's why he cut off my f*cking finger,

'cause he wants everyone

to be scared shitless of him.

Which is why none of the adults will help,

and I don't even know where to find Lyle.

And I don't even know who I'm speaking to!

Suppose you did find Lyle's stash,

what are you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna offer it to Ivan Kroll,

if he'd let Lyle go free.

So, who would you talk to to find Ivan?

- I don't know. The cops?

- Think harder.

Maybe Bich Dang?

- Stay safe, Eli.

- Wait. No! No! No!

What do you want?

Uh, you once said that I could come back

and talk sometime.

- I need your help.

- You're filthy, go stand over there.

Why would I want to talk to you?

You betray me.

No, I didn't. How did I betray you?

You and Lyle, selling rubbish heroin,

saying it was mine.

Bich Dang's heroin was 100% pure.

Now Lyle ruin my reputation.

Dustin Vang thinks

he can take over the market.

I'm s I'm sure Lyle didn't plan that.

No one plan the Vietnam w*r,

but it happen.

Didn't plan for my parents' boat to sink,

but that happen too.

A lot of sh*t happen without plan.

- Why you still here?

- I need to speak with Ivan Kroll.

Can you contact him for me?

He came to your party.

Not my business.

Not yours either.

Not if you don't want to end up like Lyle.

- Wait, so what happened to Lyle?

- I don't know what happen.

You were supposed to be helping me,

but you f*ck up.

Go home, have a bath.

Mm

[Gus] I found an old lock under the house.

- [Eli] Is there anything to eat here?

- He spends all his dole money on booze.

I wouldn't eat anything in there.

- Is that mud or sh*t on your trousers?

- Mm? Oh, it's just mud.

I was in the tunnel at Sandakan Street

looking for Lyle's stash.

If we hand it over,

then they'll release him.

It's only fair.

I don't think

that's how the criminal mind works.

Lemme fix that.

How is your hand?

It's okay. Hurts a little bit.

To be honest, I think

they probably k*lled Lyle already.

- Dumped his body somewhere.

- Come on, Gus.

We can't just give up on Lyle like that.

He wrote something in the air

before they dragged him off.

What did he write to you?

"I love you, QSLG."

What the f*ck's QSLG?

That's just when they hit him,

the letters went all wobbly.

I'm sorry, Eli.

Wanna see the rest of the place?

I'll show you around.

Sure.

This is his library.

He said he's read 'em all,

which is not impossible,

considering all he does all day

is read and drink

and watch Sale of the Century.

[Eli grunts]

[Eli] I remember this one.

We don't have any blankets,

but you can have this coat.

I'm gonna ring the limbs factory,

then they'd have to know

where he lives, right?

Hey. Eli, Gus. What are you doin' here?

Well, there's no way you're doin' that,

and I've already told you the reason why.

Good to see you got your voice back.

- Been to see your mum in prison yet?

- No. Not yet.

We need a responsible adult to take us.

- Yeah, so ask Robert.

- [Eli] Have you ever met him?

Robert is a useless alco

and his place is a sh*thole.

You're not stoppin' here,

if that's your plan.

Why not?

Thought you were our friend, Slim.

I am. But you stay here,

they'll catch you and put you in care,

like me when I was a young nipper.

You can see how that worked out.

Well, what if we just hide out here until

You're talking about a serious crim,

corrupt cops, the education department.

And they know everything,

- Everything.

To be honest, he's pretty unstable.

and att*cked him with an a* handle.

Yeah, well, you gotta get him

off the piss, haven't you? Dry him out.

Sit down. I'll make you up some damper

and some tea and drive you back to town.

Mate, don't get your knickers in a twist.

I'm just trying to be practical.

You're being a coward.

how the system works.

You go on like this, your mum won't see

the light of day, and you won't either.

And the pair of you,

you're gonna end up in care,

and our stepdad has been kidnapped

No. Way worse.

- Let me in!

- Who's Raymond Leary?

He's a building contractor.

he went bankrupt,

and k*lled herself.

He wants the paper to tell his story.

'Cause his client,

Mr. Broz, is a major shareholder

who already took out a restraining order.

This is the office

of The Courier-Mail at 2 Holt Street.

There's a guy tryin'

to break the door down.

- He's gonna k*ll himself.

- Wait, no, no, don't let him in.

[buzzes]

[Eli] Mr. Leary.

Eli! Eli, get back in here.

You're not winning any friends.

Just let it go. There's no point.

- Mate?

- Get out of the way, kid.

[Eli] Just go home and put it in a letter.

- There's no point.

- Eli

Get out of the way.

[intense music plays]

[Raymond groans]

Oh, Helen, call an ambulance.

[door buzzes]

Eli, are you okay?

Gonna write about him now?

To be honest, probably not.

He's got a bit of psychiatric history.

[Eli] That leg you mentioned.

That was a man's leg, right?

With a woman's name on it.

Uh, police haven't released

the details yet.

The woman's name is Frankie.

- Right, and how would you know that?

- She's my mum.

[door opens]

Step aside. Everybody, stand back.

No, Eli!

[phone rings]

[Helen] Hello, Courier-Mail.

[bike approaches]

[exhales]

Hey, I'm sorry I ran off.

[somber music plays]

It doesn't matter.

Someone found a leg

that washed up off Brighton Beach,

and it had a name tattooed on it.

sh*t.

Doesn't mean they m*rder*d him.

But you're right, it probably does.

Eli, you still gonna talk to the papers?

No, Slim's right.

Just gotta keep quiet and

sort out Robert [inhales]

[exhales]before anything gets worse

than it already is.

It's just you and me, Gus.

No one's gonna help us.

[phone rings]

[dramatic music continues]

- [Caitlyn] Brian?

- Yes?

[Caitlyn] I had a walk-in

off the street this afternoon,

just something I'd like to follow up on.

[Brian] Yes, no worries.

Now, before you run off on us,

where are you with Mr. Shark Leg?

His old mate in forensics

sent that through for you this afternoon.
