01x14 - The Navy: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

- Do you feel like seeing a movie or something?

- What, you and me?

- Look, I wasn't asking you out on a bloody date, Guido.

Hey, Peter.

- [Man] He's called Snake.

- Where's Peter?

- I'm trying to save their kid's life

whether they like it or not.

- Give them the money.

Let them buy their son back.

- What?

I can't.

- Peter's still alive.

He gave us one more day.

- I'm sorry, Jimmy.

So how do I get him back?

- Depends on what you're prepared to do.

- If you hurt her, I will cut you off at the knees.

- He's not here.

- You let a k*ller walk free.

(bright music)

- For your record.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

- What's up?

- sh**t fire at the Wu family laundry.

- Whose called it in?

- [Cameron] Bill.

- Well, hang on.

What's he doing calling you?

- You tell Dai Lo leave them alone.

Leave these people alone.

- Get off him.

Get off him.

- You all right?

- Wanna a piece of ya.

- You got blood on my shirt, you useless piece of sh*t.

- Dad.

- [Bill] Get off me.

- Just give me an excuse.

- [Guido] Get your ass out.

- [Bill] And stay out.

- Dead, Bill.

- Get out of here.

- Tell Dai Lo for me the bets are off.

Stay out you hear me.

- Thought it was all over.

- It is.

I promise.

- What are you doing?

- And if they come back, we'll take care of them, okay.

Give them another spin cycle.

- Oh what, you're sanctioning as*ault now?

- It's called police work.

- It's called as*ault.

- Hey, Peter.

How are you?

- [Peter] Good.

- Excellent.

How's Mr. Magoo?

- Good.

- Really?

Did you take him to school?

What did you do?

- [Peter] I played.

- Jimmy, can you get the blood off of this?

I got a date with my son tonight.

- You don't humiliate a known g*ng member

and expect to get away with it.

- You're the expert on Asian crime now, are you?

- Don't involve my partner.

- Might need a bit of bleach on that, too.

- Oh, I painted you.

- My father tried to rearrange someone's face

and you think it's appropriate?

- Snake is not the victim here.

- We're cops.

We're not some vigilante scot.

We do it by the book, not by Bill's book.

- That boy back there.

He'd be dead if we did everything by the book.

- Yeah?

You let Snake get away with a m*rder charge.

You're having trouble sleeping at night.

That's what this is all about.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

Get over it.

My father back there.

He's not gonna help ya.

- Are you finished?

(bright music)

- Since when's Bill had your phone number?

(bright music)

- [Guido Voiceover] The past can be a dirty place

stained with blunders and stuff ups.

Mistakes you carry around and nip like a dead weight.

(gentle music)

If only we could clean away the black spots.

Repair the damage.

- I want you to stay away from Cameron.

She's torturing herself over a situation you let develop.

It's gotta stop.

- How do I look?

- How are you?

- Hey buddy.

Good to see you.

Looking great.

- Return, likewise.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Let's have a look around.

(crowd chattering)

Jesus, I see you working around here.

I can tell it.

You got the respect of your officers.

That's great.

- It's a well tuned tight ship.

I'm very fortunate.

How's things with you?

- Hey, you tell him about the ships and the gold?

You know those container things?

Bloody great things.

They're steering towards Iraq and Ian has to stop them.

- Single handedly.

- [Bill] How much did you do in a day, ?

- Well the ship's company trained a hard day

and I do an exceptional time.

- [Bill] Yeah, but you're the boss, mate.

Bottom line is is to have you.

- Hey, excuse me.

(gentle music)

- Looking good, isn't he?

(gentle music)

(bright music)

- What about Nicholas?

- He's at a sleepover.

He's at a sleepover, Eddie.

- Sleepover?

- Yeah.

Come on.

(gentle music)

It's pounding.

(gentle music)

(phone ringing)

- sh*t.

(phone ringing)

Detective Mercia.

Yeah.

Address, yeah.

Yeah all right, thanks.

(gentle music)

- [Bill] I tell you I got a boat?

- [Ian] A boat, you?

- [Bill] Yeah, me.

Really love it.

It's a gray boat.

- What's she like?

- [Guido] First I've heard of her.

- When you get a moment, we can take a ride together.

Somebody's gotta teach me how to sail a boat.

- I'm being posted to Washington.

Attached.

- sh*t, you and George W.

- How long for?

- Two years.

- Nice, when?

- Soon.

Oh, I think that's.

Hello.

- What?

Why would they want him sailing all the way over there for?

- Promotion.

- Yeah.

Two years, sh*t.

- You all right?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(phone ringing)

- Guido Martin.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Did you get the same call I got?

- One of my officers has had an accident.

Hey sorry, Dad.

Give you a lift?

- No, no, I'll be all right.

- Let's go over.

(gentle music)

- [Eddie] There's your boyfriend about to go down.

- Couple of beers doesn't make a boyfriend.

(gentle music)

- So you see the rose.

Notice the handbag.

And then you looked over the edge and you saw the body.

(gentle music)

- [Donna] Do we know how old she was?

- , .

- What a waste.

(gentle music)

- Detective Cameron Smart.

Captain Ian Martin, my brother.

- Captain Martin.

- Ian's fine.

She's back from five months at sea.

Back one day.

(gentle music)

- [Cameron] Sorry.

We're going to need you to identify the deceased.

(gentle music)

- Yeah, that's her.

Elizabeth Pranda.

Lieutenant Elizabeth Pranda.

- I'm sorry, but it looks like a possible su1c1de.

Do you know of any reason why she might want

to take her own life?

- No.

- Do you wanna think about that?

- Look, Liz Pranda was a skilled

and successful officer.

She was well liked by her superiors and subordinates.

- Well, we're going to need to

look through Lieutenant Pranda's belongings.

- [Ian] I prefer to have her MPs do that.

- Ian, this is a police matter.

She didn't jump off a ship.

She jumped off a cliff.

- And only under my discretion can you remove any

of her personal possessions from on board the ship.

- It just makes things easier, you know.

She might have left a note, kept a diary.

- Nothing's gonna make this easy.

- [Cameron] What's with all the conferring?

- Navy bullshit.

Sometime today would be good.

Come on.

- Who would Lieutenant Pranda had spoken to

if she had personal problems or was depressed?

- Well officially the executive officer,

Lieutenant Commander Beecham.

- [Cameron] And how can we contact him?

- Well that won't help.

She couldn't have talked to him.

- [Cameron] Why is that?

- Gary Beecham left the ship in Darwin.

Personal reasons.

He's being treated for an alcohol problem.

- Where is he now?

- Sydney.

He's got family here.

This is it.

- Well you know the combination.

- The acting XO gave it to me on deck when we arrived.

- What, he's got all the combinations?

- I phoned ahead.

That's why he's waiting for me.

- I actually check the contents first.

Items of national security for one.

We've just been on active duty.

- You always on such good terms with your brother?

- When he's all right, he's good.

- You know her like I do, mate.

Liz Pranda was prospect.

She was beautiful.

She was beautiful.

Piss off.

Piss off.

They didn't know her like I did, you know.

We'll all fall one day.

We'll all fall one day.

- Think we better have a word with him.

You seem particularly upset about Miss Pranda's death.

- Lieutenant Pranda.

- Up on deck you said no one had a clue who she was.

Were you close to her?

- She was my divisional officer, plod.

- Were you in the Bondi area last night?

- No.

Permission to go to the toilet, sir.

- [Ian] Granted.

- He was in Bondi last night.

He was at the Rip nightclub.

He's got the stamp on his wrist.

- We're gonna need to search his locker.

- Go ahead, Mead.

- Oh.

Able Seamen Jarvine has a lot of outside interest.

Keeps souvenirs.

- [Cameron] Miss Pranda's his secret pinup.

- Dismissed Mead, thank you.

Keep all of this to yourself.

- [Mead] Yes, sir.

- Lot of unfinished love letters.

No wonder he lost it up there.

Dear Liz, dear Liz, dear Liz.

Pudding spelled with one S.

- Excuse me.

Detective Smart.

- Able Seamen Jarvine is a particular personality.

He's been in the Navy since he was .

The Navy's his substitute family.

His welfare's my responsibility.

- Officer and private.

I didn't think it was allowed.

- It isn't.

Don't even know that there was anything between them.

- Well.

Doesn't look like it was nothing, mate.

- According to initial forensics, Liz Pranda didn't jump.

She was pushed.

- Hey Donna.

Can have a sec?

I had a break for you.

We had a clean footprint at the rooftop.

- There were a lot of sightseers this morning.

- Yeah, but this was at the edge of the cliff

right in the middle of where they scuffled.

- You get a cast?

- But I'm gonna need some shoes.

- [Donna] Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey. - Hey.

- How's it going?

- It's going fine.

My number's still the same, by the way.

- Two balls in the air and both of them yours.

I do love a circus.

You tell Irena, you bozo?

- There's nothing to tell, is there?

- Yeah and pigs might fly.

- Lieutenant Commander Redding.

I'm Detective Mercia.

Follow me please.

Excuse us.

- [Donna] Someone will be with you in a minute.

- What's your job when you're at sea?

- When you're at sea.

It's Able Seamen Jarvine, plod.

- Same question.

- g*n rate.

I fire the g*ns.

(speaking in foreign language)

In time of peace, prepare for w*r.

That's our motto.

- What do you think our chances of that are?

A major w*r?

- You people have no idea.

The next one's gonna make the Gulf look like a sandpit.

- That stamp on your wrist.

Did you get at a club you were drinking at last night?

- I was on the piss.

I can't remember.

- Fair enough.

I can relate to that.

It's the Rip nightclub Bondi.

You said you weren't in that area last night.

Did you see Lieutenant Pranda in Bondi last night?

- I was on the piss.

I can't remember.

- What was your relationship with Lieutenant Pranda?

- [Noel] She was my divisional officer.

- [Guido] These photos.

- Yeah I mean, this is you and Liz in the beach.

What, Abu Dhabi?

Somewhere like that.

Who bought the rose Liz had with her last night?

Did you?

- Mate lot and officers don't mix.

Mate lot means sailor.

- Somehow I guessed that.

- Your heart's not in this.

It should be.

Liz was a beautiful woman.

- Sarah, can you tell me exactly where you were,

who you were with, what time?

- I was out drinking with Officers Redding and Pranda.

The last time I recall seeing Liz Pranda

was approximately hours

when we were all separated in the crowd.

- And did you happen to see Able Seamen Jarvine

at any point during the evening?

- Not that I recall.

- At approximately hours I noticed

I was no longer with the other officers.

I continued drinking at the bar

until I returned to the ship by taxi.

- You worked with the deceased.

You did a tour of duty together for nearly five months yeah?

- You can get this information from a junior officer.

- Sit down, please.

Please, sit down.

Did you like her?

Liz Pranda.

Did you like her?

- Yes, she was a very good officer.

- Well as a person did you like her?

I think of the people that I work with

and if one of them was m*rder*d.

You just don't seem very upset by it that's all.

- I'm a principal warfare officer in the Navy.

I'm accustomed to handling more than two things at once.

- What was the other thing?

- Maintaining ship morale.

- What about the shoes you got on?

They the same ones you had on last night?

- Yes.

- [Eddie] Would you mind taking them off, please?

- What now?

- Yeah now would be good.

- [Cameron] Are those the shoes you were wearing last night?

- Yes, plod, they were.

- Plod.

That's very funny.

Well, we might plod down to the charge area

and take your fingerprints.

You're not obliged to do so,

but it would really help us with our investigations.

- This means I'm a suspect.

- [Cameron] How do you feel about that?

- I'm intrigued.

- Marvelous.

So am I.

Must mean my heart's back in it.

Right.

Come on mate lot.

- Like the Geneva convention in action.

Name, rank, serial number.

I don't think t*rture would work on that one.

- [Cameron] All right, all right.

I'll see you there.

- Hey.

- [Cameron] Hey.

- [Guido] Do you wanna grab a pizza and a beer?

- Oh, no thanks.

- What about just a beer?

Call it restitution.

- Maybe another night.

(bright music)

- Well, Chinatown's a pretty dense place.

I mean, there's all these undercurrents.

They fling you one way and the other.

Maybe better off just steering clear of the place.

Don't get involved.

- Has Guido put you up to this?

- I don't need Guido to tell me

to invite a beautiful woman for a drink.

Do you love him?

Because I know that's the way he feels about you.

I loved guys I worked with.

It's good.

Loved it.

It's good.

- [Cameron] Why did you invite me here, Bill?

- Well.

I want you to look out for Guido.

- I think Guido can look out for himself.

- Oh no, honey.

I think that's where you're wrong.

He needs someone.

He does.

Ian's different.

Ian's all steady she goes.

Career path.

Straight to Washington.

Guido.

He's a street rat.

Bare knuckle fighter.

- You love him, don't you?

- Yeah.

Little bastard.

- Maybe you should tell him that.

- Yeah.

- So that's why I'm here because you're too chicken sh*t

to tell your own son that you love him.

- No, no.

He wouldn't believe me.

(bright music)

- There'll be plenty of booze on those ships?

Wouldn't there?

You know, Liz and the others could've been

half pissed at time she went ashore.

- Alcohol's only permitted when we're off duty.

- Yeah, but it'd go on, wouldn't it?

Her own booze.

I mean, Liz is a good looking woman.

Months at sea, close quarters.

You know, had trouble taking it part.

- What are you after, eh?

Captain Martin.

Right, has it been confirmed?

Nothing from surveillance.

Boat full of refugees missing at sea.

All those leaking body deathtraps.

And you come here making insinuations about my crew.

Huh?

And this is what life is like at sea day in day out.

Life and death decisions.

It's not booze and sex.

That's your world, not mine.

- You know, I'm sorry.

I didn't really come here to talk about the case.

- Then what do you want?

- [Guido] Another time.

- No, I wanna know.

- It's dad.

He's just.

He's off the rails.

He just won't listen to me.

- So what makes you think he'll talk to me?

- He just will.

I mean, that whole boat thing.

That's all about you.

He's just completely out of control.

He's starting to affect other people.

- He's alone to himself.

Always has been.

- I need you to talk to him.

Please.

- [Woman] You okay?

- Yeah and yourself?

- Good.

- [Woman] Mugshots.

- You look like sh*t.

- [Guido] No, I'm fine.

- We have a multiple homicide.

The Wu family laundry.

(dramatic music)

- [Eddie] Father and mother.

Both dead.

- Bloody hell.

- It's exactly what it is.

(dramatic music)

- Mommy, mommy, mommy.

(gentle music)

- All right now.

All right now.

I'll hurt you now.

- Cameron.

Peter's uncle is just over here.

Been wanting to take him home so that he can have a sleep.

He just needs his family.

See look?

- [Cameron] Okay.

- He's gonna be fine.

Okay?

There you go.

Good boy.

It's fine.

(gentle music)

Thanks, I gotta go.

See ya later.

- [Eddie] Okay, see ya.

- [Bill] You got a cigarette?

- [Guido] You okay?

- No you don't.

You don't smoke anymore, do you?

Nobody smokes these days.

(gentle music)

- This is Snake.

- You don't know that.

It's Asian g*ng w*r.

It could be anyone.

You're kidding me, Cam.

- Look at him.

He knows.

It was Snake working under his own steam

or doing Dai Lo's dirty work.

It doesn't matter, you know.

He shouldn't be on the streets.

He should be behind bars.

I should have put him there.

- It's not your fault, Cam.

It can be.

This isn't your mess.

- Course it's my mess.

It's all my f*cking mess.

(gentle music)

- She all right?

- [Guido] Ah, would you be?

(phone ringing)

- You have to help me find Snake.

- I think you should go home.

- Not 'til I find him.

- And do what?

- Put him away.

Make him pay.

Take him to hell and lock him there.

- Is that what you really want?

- No.

I want him dead.

(gentle music)

- Listen, what happened to the Wu family in there

has got nothing to do with you.

If it hadn't been Snake, it'd be somebody else.

Look, it's about extortion.

It's about g*ng wars.

It's Dai Lo trying to hang on to his control in Chinatown.

- Yeah but it was Snake, wasn't it?

And I have to live with that.

I have to be able to live with myself.

(gentle music)

- Yeah, all right.

All right thanks.

I'll pass it on.

The lab test came back on Miss Pranda.

Looks like a homicide.

(gentle music)

- We went through Miss Pranda's mobile phone records

and she made a call to a Commander Beecham.

- Guido.

Guido, care to join us?

Commander Beecham?

- Beecham.

Yeah, he's ships Executive Officer.

According to my brother he left the ship in Darwin.

Alcohol problem or something.

- Got your final autopsy results.

Liz Pranda was eight weeks pregnant.

- [Sharon] How long was she at sea?

- Five months.

- Five months at sea.

Maybe not.

Find out.

And pick up Commander Beecham.

Where's Cameron?

- Helping Agent Martin.

- Doing what exactly?

- She didn't say.

(phone ringing)

- You know what these guys are gonna do now?

Celebrate.

(gentle music)

Hey, wait a minute.

Chinese gangs doesn't like yours.

Better get him is to drain the pond.

Even a weakling.

(gentle music)

- I'll see ya.

- Sure.

- The autopsy report shows

that Liz Pranda was two months pregnant.

Where was the ship eight weeks ago?

- That's a matter of national security.

- While in port, is it possible that she met somebody?

Like a one night stand.

So was it in port?

- We were at sea.

- You sure?

Okay, so someone on board got her pregnant.

Come on, Ian, do the math.

- Was Liz Pranda close to Lieutenant Commander Beecham?

- [Guido] Did Beecham get her up to daft?

Is that why he was put off the ship in Darwin?

- I told you that Beecham is being treated

for an alcohol problem.

It was why he was sent off the ship in Darwin.

He's now confined to a desk job.

- So if it wasn't Beecham, who was it?

- I don't know.

- Come on, Ian, you're the captain of the ship.

Surely you know what goes onboard your own ship.

- I'm saying that I don't believe

it was one of my people that k*lled her.

It was a civilian.

- We're not asking you who k*lled her.

We're asking you who she had sexual relations with.

That'll be all, thanks.

Call you if we need you.

- Cameron, if you get this message, can you ring me?

Talk to Bill before he gets my partner k*lled.

- Please tell me that Cameron is not involved

in the Wu killings.

Get her back.

She's your partner, not Bill Martin's.

- Lieutenant Pranda called you

about : p.m. the same night that she was k*lled.

- I wasn't at home.

I didn't get the call.

- Where were you?

- I was at my father's.

He's not well.

I stayed the night.

- And he'll confirm that?

- I'll give you the details.

- So you left the boat in Darwin and flew back home.

What was that?

- [Donna] Did you have a sexual relationship

with Miss Pranda?

- [Beecham] No.

- [Donna] Why did you get off the ship in Darwin?

- I had a return of service obligation

due to a course I did last year.

- Oh, so it's not because you had a drinking problem?

- No.

That's not correct.

I don't drink.

- Well you should tell your captain that.

Something must've happened out at sea.

Something that means that Beecham gets dropped off in Darwin

rather returning home with the rest of his crew.

- It wasn't alcohol.

I bet it wasn't some course obligation either.

(phone ringing)

- [Woman] Hi.

- Hi.

- You could always have it chopped off.

Giving where it's leading.

You know it's only gonna give you grief.

Then again, that Bobbitt guy.

Man, he never looked back.

Booked contracts, Oprah, the works.

You could make a mint.

- Yeah, yeah.

Oh hi, mate.

How are you?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Got a clean match of the footprint at the cliff top.

- You're kidding, who?

- Well.

It's gonna cost ya.

Dinner at Bon Recorder.

- Oh yeah, I hear that's really nice.

Really nice.

You'll love it.

- What do you say?

- Just tell me who the footprint belongs to.

(gentle music)

- Come on, come on.

Nothing to do with the fact

It's all right.

Just letting the boys know they can come in

on their own terms.

All right, come on.

Call your fancy lawyers.

We'll do this by the book, all right.

- Stay over there.

- Hate to see these monkeys forget their manners.

Go on.

(gentle music)

- CC , this is Detective Cameron Smart.

We need some assistance at the Gen C Karaoke Club

corner of Pit and Goldman.

We need a hand in arresting some offenders.

- Why don't you turn your bloody phone on?

- It's under control.

- Bullshit it's under control.

Where's Bill?

Where is he?

- He's in there.

(g*n f*ring)

(gentle music)

Snake, where is he?

- Gone.

Bastard got away.

(gentle music)

- This one's still breathing.

Call an ambulance.

(gentle music)

Call 'em.

I need an ambulance.

The corner of Goldman and Pit Street.

The karaoke club.

There's two men been sh*t.

(gentle music)

- He's asking for his mother.

(gentle music)

- One minute she was there.

Then she was gone.

- [Donna] And how did that happen?

- Someone pushed her.

- Who was that?

Who pushed her?

- Did you know Liz Pranda was pregnant?

- Yeah.

- [Eddie] You knew?

- Course I did.

- So it was yours?

- Who else is it gonna be?

- Okay, why don't you tell us what happened then?

Straight.

- One minute we're arguing, then she was gone.

- Okay, why don't you be a little more specific.

- She flew through the air like a ragdoll.

Just floating.

And smash, she was dead.

- And how did that come about her flying over the edge?

- [Noel] I picked her up.

I threw her.

- How did you pick her up?

- I don't remember.

How far gone was she?

- [Donna] You mean how pregnant was she?

- [Eddie] About two months.

What was the argument about?

- g*n rats and officers are like oil and water.

She was mocking me.

Telling me we don't mix.

That's when I cracked and I did it.

- Are you admitting you k*lled Lieutenant Liz Pranda?

- Yes, I am.

And my kid inside her.

- I don't believe the confession.

- We've got the physical evidence

to prove he was at the crime scene and he lied about it.

We've got motive.

He was in love with her.

And he found out about the pregnancy.

- Too easy.

- Charge him and hand him over to the DPP.

Let's see how smug he feels

staring down the barrel of a year sentence.

(gentle music) (camera shutter clicking)

- They're gonna need your g*n.

(gentle music)

Internal Affairs are gonna have a field day with this.

- It was self defense.

- It was by the book, Guido.

Everything was by the book.

- The hell would you know?

You were outside.

How?

- I was in the room.

- You were gonna lie for him?

You're gonna ruin your career for him?

- I'm not gonna let him wear this on his own.

- You just aren't satisfied, are you,

until you poison everything that's good?

- She's not gonna lie.

- You want him?

You can bloody well have him.

- You were outside, Cameron, calling for backup.

This is all down to me.

It's over.

Walk away.

Listen to your partner.

He's family.

(gentle music)

- Go away, Guido.

Fine, don't expect me to talk to you.

- I was put in a compromising position today.

You asked me to choose between my father and you.

- Not much of a choice considering how much you dislike him.

- Yeah, well you were way out of line.

- Have you come here to lecture me?

- No.

Came here to get sh*t faced with you.

Just you and me.

- You know, Bill's not the villain you think he is.

- What, you think you know him better than me?

- Your father loves you.

- Bullshit.

- Yeah, he told me.

(gentle music)

- Before you front IA, I want to know exactly

what was going on in your head

when you left Bill Martin alone with those men.

- He asked me to call for backup.

- [Sharon] You don't think it was his intention to k*ll

because of the m*rder of the Wu family?

- [Cameron] No.

He asked for backup.

- You don't think that he wanted you out of the room

so that he could take them on?

- No.

- [Sharon] And you didn't want him to?

You didn't want Snake dead because of the Wu family?

- If I wanted him dead, he'd be dead.

- We have to make decisions everyday.

Choices, trade offs.

And we have to live with those decisions

for the rest of our lives.

Good cops make good decisions most of the time.

You're a good cop, Cameron.
