02x06 - What You Do Now

[bunniefuu]

Heard you need some help
with a policing matter.

Who are the f*ck
are those guys at my place?

The muppets with the r*fles,
talking about sh**ting coppers.

They ARE cops. Were.

I cancelled the flight.
That's gonna get us all k*lled.

They took the bones
of my great-great-grandfather.

So you... want repatriation?

It was my mother's final wish.

The dental records show a match
for Buddy Nolan.

I k*lled that boy.

You think no-one knew?
They all knew.

It's law.

I could have k*lled Jay 20 times,
but I didn't because of you.

Remove the g*n slowly
and put it on the ground.

There's a roadhouse
outside of Palmer's Cove.

You'll be safe there, Mary.
Roadhouse.

Palmer's Cove. Must be the Export.

I'm here.

What room are you in?

Hi. You've called Mary.
Leave a message after the beep.

Help you?

I'm looking for some friends,
mother and her daughter.

They arrived last night.

Can you tell me
what room they're in, please?

...uh, well...

I can't give out that information.

The safety of our guests
is a priority.

Oh, course you are.

Oh, well...

There's a gin and her daughter
in room number six.

Seven, Jay! Seven!

Come here.

Mary! Shevorne!

Shevorne. Shevorne.

Shevorne.

I'm OK.

OK.

Don't do anything stupid, Jay!

Stupidity gets people hurt.

You should have just taken
the Emilio sh**ting and pissed off!

Gave it to you with a ribbon on it!

At the edge of the earth, Jay.

No-one cares
who deals drugs or dies!

Where's he going?

You're the detective here.

You work it out.

Yeah, you're not gonna find him.

You're not gonna find him.

He's gonna find you.

You're going into shock.

If I don't call an ambulance,
you'll bleed out

in about 20... 25 minutes.

So, what do you want me to do?

Franny. What...

Franny,
what the hell are you doing?!

Jesus Christ!

You know what my excuse was?

I was a kid. You were the cop.

You were the one in charge
who was supposed to protect us,

to protect kids like Buddy and Zoe.

But you were too lazy.
You couldn't give a sh*t!

Is that what this is?

Another chapter
of blame the white fella?

Stop! sh*t!

sh*t!

I knew it was a mistake
getting a black copper.

Too much obligation,
too much black fella bullshit!

So why are you here, then, Owen?

For the fishing?

St...

You just let all the drug running and
grog happen right under your nose.

The night Clarrie was m*rder*d,
where were you?

You were meant to be on duty,
but you weren't here.

I know 'cause I saw the tapes.

You left.

You're not a cop.

You be very careful, OK?

'Cause you sh*t on your mates
in the force, then that is it.

You're done. You're finished!
Your career's over.

Who's gonna look after
your community then? What, you?

That detective that was here...

...he wasn't Critical Incident.

He was Internal Affairs.

Bullshit.

They know you're dirty.

They're onto you.

I'd run if I were you.

Go on.

Run.

You ruined your life.

sh*t.

I'm not talking to you.
Tell Owen to come here.

That's not happening.

I'm the boss here, not you.
Owen's not coming.

You keep going,
you're gonna get yourself

in proper big trouble, woman.

I'm not going anywhere.

Buddy and Zoe were together.

They broke our law.

They were warned...

...taken to the bus stop,
but they came back.

People started talking.

Amos wasn't gonna do anything.

Big shame job for you.

Amos got kid brain.

He's not a man.

So tell me what a real man does.

I'll tell you what happened.

I saw him.

I come over.

I said, "I warned you."

I took my boomerang out
and I swing it!

And I hit him!

And I said, "You got the wrong one!

"She doesn't belong to you!"

And he said, "f*ck you, old man."

I said, "What you say?" "f*ck you!"

And I hit him,
and I couldn't stop hitting him!

"f*ck you! f*ck you!"

It was only meant to be
a broken arm.

But he wouldn't listen.

That's not our culture, Jimmy.

That's m*rder.

And Zoe?

What did you do to her?

Huh? What did you do to her?

Zoe was women's business.

What for?

Why you gotta bring ME into this?

I need your help.

If you're putting my hole in danger,
you better tell me what for.

I need Mary and Shevorne
to stay here for a little while.

I'm not a mind-reader, you know.
Someone's after us.

Simon Rowland.

Mmm. Sour one, that one.
Knew he'd be trouble.

What do you mean?

Oh, there were stories floating
around when he first turned up.

He could be real charming,

but same time like a king brown.

Poisonous one.

Slippery one.

The one snake
you don't want in your hole.

There's not too many safe places
in town.

She's the one with the g*n.

You know what? They can stay.

- Happy now?
- Thank you.

Don't go anywhere.

Where are you going?

Jay.

Simon won't stop
until someone stops him.

And it's gotta be you.

sh*t.

Simon.

Get Swan off my back.

Well, how do you suppose I do that?

You tell him you got word
I'm getting on a plane to Bali.

I need him out of town
for a few hours.

Well, he's not gonna believe me.
Owen, do as you're f*ck' told.

Look, don't you think this is...

Well, why don't you just leave?
You know? No-one'll find you.

You've got money.

Don't be an idiot, Owen.

There's no going back
to your old life.

Those days are over
that time you started

letting blokes off traffic tickets
for favours.

Not a good idea getting serviced...

...under a CCTV camera
at the back of the station.

If it wasn't for me,
you'd be in jail.

Call me when it's done.

Out.

Leave your phone.

Over there.

Hey.

Mwah!

Red wine?

Yeah. You want one?
No, thanks.

I just...

...had a chat
with the head of the board and...

sh*t.

Yeah. Yeah.

He said it really looks promising.

What are you saying?

That he said
this might be the right time.

Repatriation is happening
in institutions around the world.

Hey, you're
a real gammon thing, hey?

Yeah, alright.
Maybe I'll have a short one, then.

That's the way.

Hey, it's not certain, but...

...I told him, "Look,
we have a chance to make a change,

"to stop seeing ourselves
as the guards of the past and...

"and start owning
the real history."

So, what now?

Yeah.

This is a huge change in mindset
for universities.

I mean, the first archaeologists
used dynamite to open crypts.

Graverobbers.

Without those thefts,

those artefacts would have been lost,

lost for future generations
to study and to learn.

Ah, you saved my culture.

I'm just telling you
what some people at the university

might argue right now
and why this is so hard.

My profession has made mistakes,
and I've made mistakes, and...

...everything I've done, everything
we have done, was for this country,

to put this culture at the centre
of the story of the world.

Everything. Everything.

Sandra, how long
you been at this bar?

No, I just want you to know that.

What?

No.

I'm happy.

I'll be back in a minute.

Glass of water.

sh*t! Ugh!

- Hey, hey, look out! Hey!
- He broke in!

What's he doing here?

The longer they're here,
the more you're in danger.

You behave yourself.

Simon doesn't muck around.

The only way that Simon's
gonna know that they're here

is if you tell him.

Here.

Simon knows sh*t about me.

Hey. We've all got a past.

You don't want to know mine.

You know what I see?

I see a bloke who kicked the sh*t

out of those two cowboys
who were flogging me.

And then you came to the hospital
to visit me.

You didn't have to do that,
but you did.

What you did back then,
it's back then.

It's what you do now that matters.

Yep.

Simon's got a shipment coming in
from Timor today.

Far end of Oyster Beach.

Owen?
He'll be there now.

After that...

...you won't find him.

Why should I believe you?

Do or don't, but...

...I wasn't always
the man I am today.

This was...

...also buried at the site
with the bag.

It will help convict
the k*ller of that young boy

and help the community to heal.

What is it?

What does it matter who...
who found the bones?

They arrested someone.

What does it matter?

This community is in pain.

I've done a lot of wrong,

but one thing I did right
was to bring those bones to you.

Isn't this supposed to be
a place of peace? A place of mercy?

There can't be mercy
without truth, Sandra.

Without conscience.

I mean, you'll leave soon.

You'll be back home
to friends, to family.

But the people here
will be left with this lie.

You can't tell them.

People will say,
"He knew all this time.

"He looked us in the eye and lied."

They'll never trust you again.

Please.

Please. I'm asking you.

So I'll ask you.

If you don't,

can you really live with this
for the rest of your life?

Back against the bars.

Put your hands through.

Come on! Come out here!

Back that motor car up.

Hey?
That motor car!

Bring him closer!

What now? These are your people, eh?

You the big boss man!

Come on! Brother!

Come on!

Come on! You!

- Go on, get!
- Come on!

Not your business!

Come on, then!
Want me to give you a good hiding?

Don't muck around.
Put me in there now.

These mob want payback.
You!

This is your law.

This is our law.
You're not gonna let them, are you?

You don't believe in law!

You've stained this country!
You got a cheek!

You can't talk.

This is not your business.
This is my business!

No-one gonna cry for you.

No-one gonna sing for you.

I got family in jail.

They know you're coming.

I didn't k*ll Zoe!

True story. I didn't k*ll her!

- Liar.
- Telling you.

I didn't do it!

Then who?

The, uh, university said no. Not yet.

I'm so sorry.

You promised.

We are trying to change
hundreds of years of thinking.

I'm sick of talking to you.

Listening to your promises,
your defence of your institutions.

You're nothing
but a mission manager.

Just... you should just piss off.

But you know I did what I could.

Don't bullshit me.

You did what you could for you.

Got what you want.

Now get.

It's not the end.

There is, um...

...something I...

...well, you might hear about me,
something I did.

The bag.

The boy's bones.

I found it.

I was excavating and I...

...I didn't know what to do.

I... I panicked.

You left him at the church?

Yeah. I...

If the police found out I had moved
the bones, I would have been charged.

My entire career,
everything I worked for, over.

He's somebody's boy.

Not rubbish to chuck away.

I didn't chuck him away!

That grindstone is 80,000 years.



It's like having
a piece of the universe in my hand.

You kicked that kid
to the gutter to get it.

All I did was kept my mouth shut
for a few weeks.

The world found out
of the significance of this place,

of your place!

I am sorry, I really am.

f*ck off with your sorrys.

You did this for you.

I worked with indigenous people
around the world,

and, you know, the biggest problem
I have with them is fear.

Fear I might find something,

something that tells a story you
didn't know about your own culture.

You walk around this country...

...with your gammon little boots on,

gammon little white gloves.

You never touch it,

feel it,

listen to its story.

You know nothing.

That's your story.

Nothing.

Oh, f*ck.

That's it.
That's it, mate.

Right.
See ya.

Don't be shy.

Show me.

Each bag is 10 million.

Who needs a police pension?
What do you reckon?

I reckon you're going to jail
for a long time.

You know how they love dirty cops
in jail.

Simon.

Oh, f*ck!

Get that motor running.

What?
I'm going to Wakey's Reef.

Listen, mate, I can't.
The motor's f*cked!

God, you're weak as piss.
Just do what you're told.

Yeah, OK. Yeah, I am, OK? I am.

But... I can make this better.

I can, OK?

I'll... I'll arrest you, alright?
Purely for optics.

I'll arrest you
and then we can blame it on Alkemi.

Alkemi's dead.

Well, it can work for us, you know?

He can't defend himself.
You can get away and...

Just get the f*ck' motor working!
I can't, mate!

You'll have to get Way an.
Get it working now.

Just take it easy.

Put the g*n down.
Oh, f*ck!

You gonna sh**t me, Mary?

Could have been really good together,
you and I.

Yeah?

If you weren't so full of sh*t.

He's gone.

Something about Wakey's Reef.

You're shot.
Nah, nah, nah. Nah, I'm good.

Hey, don't change a habit
of a lifetime now. Get out of here!

Go!

Zoe.

I know you k*lled her.

You will pay.

Come on, Dad.

Too many mosquitoes.
Let's go inside.

Here.

Look out.

Now you're a real cop.

Depends.

Depends?

On what you think a real cop is.

Are you gonna be OK?

We got some healing to do.

One man brought a lot of shame
to this community,

but we're not gonna be judged
by what he did.

What about Zoe?

I haven't forgotten her.

Now you look like a real cop.
