How well did you know him?

My brother.

We're sweeping up the garbage
the Royal Commission missed.

The ones who got away.

Anyone who runs a business
in the Cross pays protection.

- From who?
- From me.

Now we've got every two-bit f*cking gangster

in the state, on the strip.

We might have just started a w*r.

It's cool, uh, we got the green light.

- [g*n FIRES]
- f*ck!

I want 'em all cleared out.

Grab some boys to go with you,

in case you going to be scared, yeah?

Oh, f*ck, Sam, no, f*ck, Sam.

[GLASS SHATTERS] [SCREAMING]

[BODY THUDS]

You need to curb your dog

or there'll be consequences.

Tell your boss to go f*ck himself.

It's feet of road.

You can't control that?
It's not f*cking Columbia!

Go!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Double homicide.

It's not the best look for a senator, is it?

Change your statement.

Do you know how it feels
to have to stick up for you,

when you are actively
the one f*cking us over?

[CAR EXPLODES]

[CAR REVS AND SCREECHES]

[PHONE RINGS]

[PHONE CONTINUES]

What's up?

[SIRENS WAIL]

[SIRENS CONTINUE]

[MOTORCYCLES REV]

I'm going to get us some coffees.

What the f*ck? Look at this f*cking sh*t.

You gonna let that piece of sh*t

to get the f*ck away with this?

We're going to chase every last one

of these c**ts down, you understand?

[MAN] Yes, Sammy.

- You understand?
- f*ck yeah!

These fucks are paying with blood.

You finished?

What the f*ck are you doing here?

What am I doing?

I'm doing what you should have done.
I'm here to protect the f*cking street.

Protect?

By turning up with your
tooled up idiots off your face!

How's that protecting anyone?

How's it make you any better?

How's it going to get any
worse than this, John?

Do you still not get it?

You blow up that car,
they burn down my club.

You fire more sh*ts at them,
they fire more sh*ts at us.

Okay, where does it end?
Them blowing up Mum's house?

This is exactly what he wants.

Okay, us fighting.

Now Ezra doesn't have his
jacks doing his dirty work,

he's got these little fuckers doing it.

Okay? He wants a reaction
from you and you, and,

you're giving it to him.

You're playing into his hand. Just...

[JOHN SCOFFS]

You do you.

Remember?

I'll do me.

f*ck, you got so much Mum in you.

[THEME MUSIC]

[BIRDS CHIRPING] [COW MOOING]

You told us under oath that
Crellan sh*t NASA Kalouri

out the front of his house
and left him for dead.

That was my recollection. [DOYLE SCOFFS]

But as you guys know,

I was under a lot of pressure
to make a quick statement.

Since then, I've had time to decompress

and I realise I made a huge mistake.

Well, now you're making an even bigger one

by changing your story.

f*ck, eh! You must be pumped to see him.

What's on the cards?

A pop down the pub, have a few beers,

run through a list of cops
who have topped themselves?

How fun.

Look,

[DOG BARKING]

I know you want this to be over with.

f*ck's sake, shut up! [DOG BARKING]

Declan.

We really want to help you,

but we can't protect you unless we know

who we're protecting you from.

I don't know what to tell ya. All right?

My memory changed.

That's all I got to say.

Excuse me.

Now, if you guys don't mind,
my family's getting home,

and I've got a f*cking sh*t load to do.

[DOOR CREAKS AND SLAMS CLOSED]

The smart money's on Bill Allen, by the way.

And believe me, if the
Assistant Commissioner

gave you up once, he can do it again.

Think about that when you
tuck your kids in tonight.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND SLAMS SHUT]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING] [CARS HONKING]

Three months for m*rder.

That is some magical bullocks, mate.

It's got to be some kind
of record, doesn't it?

I mean, who'd you have to
suck off to get out so quick?

Old mate just caught a
sudden dose of amnesia.

Right.

Really?

f*ck you.

I was looking at well over a decade

and I kept my mouth shut.

Also, do you pricks have any
idea how much I loved my job?

I was a cop for years and
I loved every minute of it.

And the blokes that I went
to work with every day,

I considered them my family.

I'd take a f*cking b*llet for them.

And yet I gave all of that
up to protect you guys.

Not to mention having the Royal Commission

take that away from me permanently,

so are you f*cking kidding me
with the attitude?

Well, now, I think it's about time

you picked a f*cking side, innit?

When do I start?

[SIRENS WAILING] [PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[CHATTERING CONTINUES]

You know, you could always
just tell them who did it.

[CAR SCREECHES] [DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES] [CAR ENGINE REVS]

Come on, John. It's not rocket science.

On one side of the street,

your brother's trying to fill the hole

in the Kings Cross drug
market left by Joey Romano.

And on the other,

the Bui Doi think it's
theirs for the taking.

That's not going to end well.

Then there's you in the
middle with nothing to gain

and everything to lose.

You're telling me my life story?

Yeah, and the only person who can stop it

doesn't seem to be doing anything.

So you could be forgiven for thinking that

Ezra's stoking the flames, couldn't you?

Like, I assume that's what the
garden party was all about?

Ezra Shipman and his mates?

The ex-Senator and the
Assistant Commissioner of Police?

Hot and cold running girls laid on.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

That was you?

Yeah, I...

I hope they were useful.

See, you and I, we've,

we've always wanted the same thing, John.

Just for different reasons.

Right now, I'm just trying
to keep my brother alive.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[MOTORCYCLE REVS]

- Hey, Sam!
- Gentlemen.

- Hey, mate.
- Sammy.

Mm, nice.

- Hey. What are you doing?
- What?

You don't get to sit down

until every last slope is off the street.

Righto.

[CHAIR SCRAPES] [FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

[CAR ENGINE REVVING] [CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]

How many years have we worked together then?

- -odd years.
- Right.

In all that time, right,

how many people have tried
to take over the Cross?

It's a long f*cking list, boss.

All right, but how many
have succeeded, though?

Just one.

You might want to remind Sam of that.

[PHONE DIALLING]

Hey, mate.

You around?

Righto.

[g*n CLICKS]

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[FERRY HORN HONKS]

Look at you. Barely aged a day.

Funny, that.

So how you want to do this?

I figured you'd called to sort
out the money for old mate.

Nah, don't worry about that.
My way of saying thanks.

If you'd gotten talkative on the stand,

we might have been having this little chat

from the rec yard at Long Bay instead.

Long Bay might be the safest place for you

from what I'm hearing.

Your brother seems to have poked the bear.

f*ck, Johnny.

You're the owner of the four
biggest clubs in the country.

You're making serious coin

and you want to get into a drug w*r?

You're the one who never wanted dr*gs

in the Cross in the first place.

Family.

- Hell of a thing.
- Yeah.

Last of the crazy Lebs, huh?

- Is that what you reckon?
- Johnny. Crazy? Yeah.

But the rest of it? Well.

That's a little premature.

I need to hear the words, mate.

Ezra wasn't too fast when I
was looking down the barrel

at well over a decade in
a twelve-by-eight cell.

You did something about it.
And I'll never forget it.

Cross is changing, Johnny.

Crowds are thinning,
moving up to Oxford Street,

away from the v*olence.

We have to keep up with the times, don't we?

It's food for thought.

But if you ever need me to square that debt,

then you just say the word.

Don't ever bring a g*n
to a meet with me again.

You don't need it.

[JOHN KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Hey, you! You're home early.

Yeah, it was a,

slow night.

Whatcha doing?

Just reading about the little
island my Yaya's from, Ikaria.

Check it out.

It's known as the island
where people forget to die.

How cool is that?

One in three people live till .

How come?

No one's really sure.

Lots of olive oil and, um,

not too many nightclubs, apparently.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Sounds unreal.

Oh. It's real, all right.

In hours,

we could be eating grilled octopus and

sitting on a beach, sipping cold beer.

Just say the word. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

[CLUB MUSIC PLAYS] [PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I mean, why the sudden change?

I mean, John does a good job.

The system's been in place for years.

I'm just passing on the message, mate.

What, and he's okay with this?

John will understand.

But you haven't told him yet?
What about Sam?

What about Sam?

Let me ask you all a question.

Do you think Ezra needs
the Ibrahim's permission

to change things up around here?

Just might be worth a chat, that's all.

Yeah. Just to keep the peace.

Well, who says Ezra wants peace?

Let me be very f*cking clear.

If Ezra Shipman wants to
make a change on the strip,

that's his call.

And do you know why? Do you?

'Cause it's his f*cking strip.

Now, if any of you think otherwise,

I'd be happy to pass on your feedback.

The Ibrahims, they're f*cking out.

From now on, you can come directly to Ezra.

Are we f*cking clear?

[JOHN BREATHING HEAVILY]

I'm trying to stop the street

going up in flames and you pull this sh*t.

What the f*ck are you trying to do?

What am I doing?

Thank you, sweetheart.
I'm doing my f*cking job, John.

Which is looking after
my boss's best interests.

How is any of this in Ezra's interests?

You don't think I know what he's doing?

Pitting me against Sam.
Steering you and I into each other.

Do you not see what he's doing?

It's not going to be forever.
Just take your f*cking medicine.

No, f*ck that, okay? It's not happening.

Ezra has nothing to sell
anymore, so I'm not buying it.

You listen to me really f*cking carefully.

You'll be really careful about what you say

'cause do you really want
to go down that path?

'Cause if you call out Ezra Shipman,

it ain't f*cking ending well.

You know, when I first
came to the Cross, I th...

I thought it was this crazy jungle.

No order, no rules.

Chaos.

I mean, that's what it
looked to me, like as a kid.

What the f*ck did I know?

But it was you.

It was you who showed me
that there is a system.

There's a business based off respect,

off trust, off working together.

That's all bullshit, isn't it?

There's no trust. There's no respect.

There's just f*cking business.

So you know what? I'm f*cking done.

No more kick ups.

You can tell Ezra I am cutting him off

and not the other way around.

f*ck.

He said that?

Well, words to that effect.

He was upset, but he wasn't
thinking straight.

Oh, he's f*cking dead, man.

[PHONE CLATTERS] Boss?

Ezra?

[PHONE CLATTERS]

So, k*ll 'em.

The both of them.

Yeah. [PHONE CLATTERS]

[DISHES CLATTER]

Hey.

What time'd you get back?

I don't know. Late.

There was trouble.

Can I ask you something?

And I promise if you don't
want to talk about it,

I'll let it go.

You can ask me anything.

How do you do it?

Do what?

This.

Everything.

I mean, if I had a week like you've just had

or a year like your last year,

I mean, I'm going to be honest,

if that's me, I'm not sticking around.

What choice do I have?

It's who I am.

No, it's what you do.

They are two very different things.

[SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS]

It's not that simple.

I've spent every waking hour since I was

trying to build...

...something.

Everything I have is in those clubs.

Not everything.

For now, at least.

She's amazing.

Okay.

Her brother's Spyro Mavris.

I know. Been taking cash to
the mum for years now, Johnny.

From me.

Okay.

Yeah.

And she doesn't know, eh?

She knows I knew him, that's it.

Every time I try and tell her, I, I just...

...feel I'm going to ruin the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

You know, Johnny.

If she's into you,

she's into all of you.

Tell her what happened. If she go, she go.

But if she stay,

she stay for good.

Truth is good for you, Johnny.

Hmm?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]

[ANTON] Sammy, you got a sec?

Mate, I just spoke to John.
He wants to see ya.

What does he want?

I don't know.

He just wants to chat
to you about something.

Tell him he can come here
if he wants to talk to me.

I did tell him that but
he's being a cock about it.

He's out the front of Porky's.

And I don't know what it's about
but it does sound pretty serious.

What am I f*cking here for?

You told me to come down here.

I didn't tell you to come down here.

You're being f*cking paranoid again.

[SAM] Do you hear this fuckwit?

[JOHN] Will you stop with the nose bags.

with high-level corruption and
links to organised crime.

It's understood he has

against a number of senior police officers,

including Assistant Commissioner Bill Allen.

Senator Calandro's name has
been linked to Kings Cross

real-estate baron Ezra Shipman...

[DOORBELL RINGING]

controversial developmental approvals.

Calandro has always strenuously denied

any involvement.

An ICAC investigation into

The Assistant Commissioner's shock arrest

comes on the back of the death

of long-serving state politician

Honestly? I thought you'd
put up more of a fight.

I'm not used to fighting women.

Where I'm from, we learn at a very young age

to always let the man
think that he's in charge.

It makes destroying him much easier.

[FEET POUNDING CEMENT STAIRS]

[MADAME TIEN] Look at Sam.

After everything that he's done to you,

I would've cut him off years ago.

Anyone would.

But not you.

You can't choose your family.

Sam broke everything that you ever built.

Destroyed everything that you ever loved.

And you still can't turn your back on him.

Now!

Sam, drop the f*cking g*n now!

[BIG TONY] Sam was charged with the m*rder

of Vietnamese g*ng boss, Tran Cat Tien.

Luckily for him, Liz Doyle made a statement

arguing self-defence,

and the charge was downgraded.

John refused to make a statement at all.

No surprise.

He'd made a career out
of not talking to cops.

He walked away a free man,

but he had much more to
worry about than the law.

He'd paid a high price to be,

the last King of the Cross.

♪ Turned out nothing Like I had planned ♪

♪ It's coming 'round again ♪

♪ The slowly creeping hand ♪

♪ Of time and its command ♪

[MAN SHOUTING] ...we've even
got beautiful girls...

♪ And settles in its place ♪

♪ Its shadow in my face ♪

♪ Puts pressure in my day ♪

♪ Soon enough it comes ♪

♪ Here it is again ♪

♪ The slowly creeping hand ♪

♪ Of time and its command ♪

♪ Soon enough it comes ♪

♪ And settles in its place ♪

♪ Its shadow in my face ♪

♪ Undignified and lame ♪

So, this is it?

♪ This life well it's slipping
Right through my hands ♪

♪ These days turned out
Nothing like I had planned ♪

♪ Control well it's slipping
Right through my hand ♪

♪ These days turned out
Nothing like I had planned ♪
