[heavy breathing]

Oh, f*ck. Yes.

[heavy breathing]

[Gracie] I think

I'd like you inside me next time.

If you want.

Don't go yet.

[Cam] Sorry. Gotta run.

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

-Yeah.

-[woman] Morning, sir.

We've had a phone report of a dead body.

Male. g*nsh*t wound.

Where?

[theme music]

["Blute Nur" from the St Matthew Passion

by The Swingle Singers plays]

[Gracie] The kid's name is Tom Mulvaney.

He's 22 years old and a known drug dealer.

Got a g*nsh*t wound to the head,

and we're treating this

as a suspected homicide.

The body was found by a dog walker

in the water catchment

near the temple squat

with these in his pocket.

We need to get those squatters in here,

talking.

Sgt Drysdale

will be leading the investigation.

Boss.

[Gracie] Until we know more,

we need to keep a lid on this thing.

No media.

Copy that.

-[woman 1] Get out of here.

-[man] What do you want?

[woman 2] Here we go, here we go.

This gate is closed,

and you're not welcome in here.

You're not coming in here.

Don't let 'em in here, guys.

This is harassment.

[Constable O'Shea] Come on.

We want you to come in voluntarily.

[woman 2] We didn't do anything.

He was our friend.

[Gracie] If you don't come now,

we'll come back with a warrant.

[Gracie] And an eviction notice.

Yeah, you would.

[indistinct chatter]

[Sgt Drysdale] When was the last time

you saw Tom?

At the squat.

-[O'Shea] When was that?

-Yesterday.

-[O'Shea] Time exactly?

When he wasn't dead.

Did Tom have any enemies?

-Isn't it your job to find out?

-[O'Shea] I'm asking you.

-Do you have enemies?

-[O'Shea] I don't think so.

You live in the squat, Hedwig?

[Hedwig] On and off.

[O'Shea] What goes on there?

It's the only pure place in this town.

[O'Shea] Tell us, were you aware

that Tom was dealing drugs?

It's not really my business.

It's not really my thing.

[scoffs]

You f*cking kidding me?

[Constable Murray] Were you aware

Tom was dealing drugs, Cam?

No.

[pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,

we have commenced our descent.

Weather in Eden is, suffice to say,

glorious.

However, we do have a couple

of storms forecast for the coming days.

Cabin crew, please prepare the cabin

for landing.

[Lily] Daddy!

[Gracie] Hello, sweetheart.

-Jump in the car.

-OK.

-Hello.

-Hey.

You OK?

All things considered, I'm fine.

[Octavia] Girls? Girls. Seatbelts on.

[Lily] Grandma's going to die soon, Dad.

-[Evie] Lily!

-[Lily] She is. Even the doctor said so.

[Lily] I'm gonna be first upstairs!

[Evie] Lily, don't go into my room.

[girls chatter]

Anthrax?

[Gracie] Hope not.

Look after Ezra. He's fragile.

-I know.

-OK.

-See you tonight.

-OK.

-[Octavia] Love you.

[heavy breathing]

[male voice] Yeah.

[gasping]

[Cam] Yo, this is Cam. Leave a message.

[Cam] Yo, this is Cam. Leave a message.

[groaning]

[muffled male voice] Lads,

you do not realise how lucky we are

just to be in the presence of,

of an internet sensation.

[laughter]

[group singing "Happy Birthday"]

[whimpers]

[man laughing loudly]

Oi.

Get it off.

Hey, mate. You made it.

-Hey, thanks.

-[Gracie] Welcome.

-Thanks so much.

-Happy to have you.

[Gracie] This is Detective Constable

Ezra Katz.

Gosh, it's been a while.

What happened?

[Ezra] A spectacular fall from grace.

[phone rings]

[Cam] Yo, it's Cam. Leave a message.

[Cam] Yo, it's Cam. Leave a message.

-[Cam] You gotta go.

[exhales]

Morning, boss.

What the f*ck are you doing here?

That's a bit harsh.

Just thought we could have a nice coffee

and a catch-up.

I don't want to do this here.

[Drysdale] So I looked up that Katz guy.

It seems before he hit the booze,

he was talented.

And a snitch.

Which, I don't know, just kind of seems

bad for business.

Yours and mine.

He's my wife's cousin.

I've got no choice.

I've got him bound to a desk.

His career is done, Ben.

So what, now we're running

a f*cking alco cop retirement home?

You look f*cked, Grace.

You OK?

Get me a suspect for the Mulvaney m*rder.

I want it gone.

Yeah, so watch him.

Or it's on you.

[Drysdale] Scout, why don't you, uh,

start by telling us, uh,

everything that went on that night.

-Everything that you remember.

-[Scout] Is my mum coming?

[O'Shea] She'll be here soon.

Just concentrate for a minute, love.

I need to see my mum.

-[Drysdale] You and Hedwig

were at Andy Dolan's place, right?

-[Drysdale] Just having a good time.

-[Scout] Andy was wasted.

[Scout] He was angry.

Have you spoken to him?

-[O'Shea] We were told you were angry

with Hedwig that night.

[muffled voices]

[Scout] She's my friend and I wouldn't,

[sobs] I would never

There was this guy, and his name is Cam.

-[Drysdale] Excuse me?

-[Scout] And, um,

Hedwig was on the phone to him

at the beach,

and I think that she was gonna meet him.

-This guy?

-[Scout] Mm-hm.

[Scout] Look, I just um, I need to go home.

I need to go home.

[Saranya] Why didn't you call me?

-[Gracie] Saranya, we're here.

-Where is she?

-How long's she been here?

[Gracie] OK.

She's gonna be out in a minute.

Take a seat.

She's gonna be out in a minute.

I'll be right with you.

[Cam's voice echoing] Yo, this is Cam.

Leave a message.

[gasping]

-Hi.

I missed you.

I'm not ready yet.

Slow down.

Touch me?

Look at me.

Look at me, Lou.

Something I can do?

OK, just

It's OK, Lou.

[forcefully] Stop.

Don't worry about it.

[mysterious music plays]

[man] Bring it down. Bring it down.

[Drysdale] Well, nobody's in the car.

[O'Shea] Cat didn't make it.

[Drysdale] O'Shea?

[Drysdale] One b*llet missing.

Step back, please.

Let's go. Keep moving, thank you.

It's a live crime scene.

Cam Okah. Remember him?

[Drysdale] Hmm. Same pills we found

on Tom Mulvaney.

[splash]

No bodies down there.

[Drysdale] Yeah, reckon he's ditched

the car, taken off with that Hedwig girl?

I think we found our suspects, Grace.

Thanks for meeting me.

No problem.

You alright, Lou?

You don't quite seem yourself.

I'm fine.

Pointy little m*rder case

you've got. [chuckles]

[chuckles] Yeah.

Well, it seems like we know

what happened now. So.

Do you, though?

g*n matches the b*llet in Mulvaney's head.

OK, so it goes,

these two young kids, Cam and Hedwig,

[whispers] m*rder*d Mulvaney?

[Ezra] Then hung around in town

partying for a week or two,

then packed all their worldly possessions

into a car

and then drove it into the lake

and then vanished entirely. Is that it?

[Gracie inhales]

How's your mum?

I don't trust Drysdale.

-Yes, well I think--

-He's a bad cop, Gracie.

-Why?

-I know bad cops.

That's why I'm friendless.

And a drinker.

And a mildly entertaining meme.

Who lives at his demented mother's house.

I'll keep an eye on him.

Thank you.

I'd better be getting back to the girls.

[Gracie] We'll get you over

for that dinner soon.

-Say, say hi for me.

-[Gracie] Will do.

[Saranya] Ezra.

-[Ezra] Hi.

-What's wrong?

[Ezra] I'm here to have a word with Scout,

if you don't mind.

Just to go over her statement

in a little bit more detail.

[Saranya] Ez, I'd rather

you gave her some space. She's exhausted.

[Scout] Mum.

It's OK.

Thank you.

[Ezra groans]

My mum acts bizarre around you.

How are you holding up?

It's been quite the ordeal.

Hedwig's not a m*rder*r.

That's why I wanted to talk to you

about what happened that night.

Off the record.

I know you didn't want to talk

to Sgt. Drysdale.

Do you know why Hedwig's stuff

would be in that car?

I don't know anything.

I didn't have a clue about Andy Dolan.

Maybe she just wants us to let her go.

Have you heard from her?

-Sure you haven't heard from her?

-I said I haven't.

OK.

Maybe you can let me know if you do.

Yeah.

[groans] Oh.

-No, I'm good, thanks.

-[chuckles]

Hey, were you and my mum

together?

[laughs] No.

We weren't together.

It's, uh, not like that.

Sorry. I should go.

[rings buzzer]

-[man] Yeah?

-Detective Ezra Katz.

[Ezra] You, uh, moving back to Hollywood?

-Italy.

-[Ezra] Italy. Oh.

Shall we make this quick?

Yeah, sorry, uh

Hedwig Shelly lived here for a time,

correct?

As your, uh, partner?

[scoffs]

Mm-hm.

I'm just trying to get a clear picture

from someone who knows her well.

Oh, Hedwig was enigmatic.

You just used the past tense.

[laughs]

Come on. Look, I told Constable Drysdale

back when she first went missing,

it'll be something to do

with the guy in the red Mercedes.

And lo and behold, she goes off

with the guy in the red Mercedes,

and they f*cking sh**t someone.

[Ezra] Yeah, it's a big deal,

sh**ting someone.

[Ezra] Not many people find that they can.

You know they found her cat

that drowned in that car?

They said on the news, uh,

that they dumped the car

and ran off somewhere.

Yeah, well, that's the theory.

Didn't mention the cat.

Uh.

She wouldn't let it drown.

She loved that cat.

So what do you think happened?

Like I said,

talk to the guy with the red Mercedes.

Ah.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

[chatting and laughing]

-[man] Oh!

-[Ezra] Aw!

-[Ezra] Aw, geez.

-[laughs]

-Are there cleaning paraphernalia?

-[laughter]

[suspenseful music plays]

[keys clattering]

What are you doing?

I was looking for this darn mop.

It's right behind you.

Oh, yeah.

Ezra?

Yes, it's me, mum.

[sighs]

Hi, Ezra!

[gasps] You were a little boy

swimming at night.

[sighs]

All the bright stars.

Yeah, I remember.

The, the phosphorescence.

You're sad.

No.

It's hot.

-It's hot.

-[Ezra] Mum.

-Mum, mum, mum, mum.

-Too hot!

Mardi! Mardi! Mardi!

[gasping]

[Mardi] It's OK, darling. It's OK.

It's alright. Let's go to your room.

-Let's go to your room.

-[groaning]

-[Mardi] It's OK.

-[Florence groaning]

[Florence] He should be here. Where is he?

-[Florence] Where is he?

-[Mardi] He's not here, darling.

[inhales]

[ominous music plays]

[Scout's voice echoing] Hey, were you

and my mum together?

[groans]

[Ezra's voice echoing]

We weren't together.

[Saranya's voice echoing] Find her Ezra.

Please.

[Ezra's voice echoing]

I'll do everything I can.

[Ezra's voice echoing]

I'll look after you. I promise.

[car door slams]

[dog barking]

[Ezra] Mr Shelly?

Michael?

[Michael] Oi. What do you want?

[Ezra] Mr Shelly?

Hey, hey, hey. Easy.

My name's Detective Ezra Katz,

and I'm here to talk to you

about your daughter Hedwig.

I, I'm sorry,

mate, I'm sorry if I disturbed ya. OK?

Well, she's not here.

Well, do you know where she might be?

I told her to leave, so she left.

OK.

She told you she was going?

Brought me supplies.

Enough to last a lifetime.

Must have cost a fortune.

She's a good girl.

[Ezra] When was this?

[Michael] I don't know. f*ck, a week,

two weeks ago.

You know Hedwig's been implicated

in a m*rder, Michael?

[Michael] It's just a f*cking

imbecile lie!

[shouts] That is

[angry grunting]

They're murderers, they're f*cking just,

just, just corrupt, just rotten!

f*ck' f*ck.

[Ezra] Did she say where she was going?

And it doesn't matter

because they're never gonna find her.

Because she'll outsmart ya.

[Michael] She's f*cking spectacular.

She's better than anyone in this town.

She's, she's gonna be a movie star.

[Michael] One day this planet's gonna annihilate

every last human soul from the face of the earth.

[Michael] And all that's left

will be the monkeys.

Until they f*ck us over. They'll start evolving

'Cause you know they're entering their f*cking stone age, right now!

[Michael] f*cking Stone Age you know, Wig told me that.

[Michael mumbles]

[Michael] There's f*cking bad people here.

There's f*cking bad people here.

What sort of bad people?

What kind of bad people?

Bad that f*cking pull your fingernails off

if you don't talk, which I didn't,

and so there you go, that's f*cked.

[coughing]

[heavy breathing]

You alright?

[coughing]

The next person that comes here

hunting my angel girl,

I'm gonna f*ck' do it!

Righto.

[phone rings]

-[Octavia] Hey, Ez?

-Hi.

-[Octavia] Hi.

-Hi. Yeah, yeah.

-[Octavia] How you doing?

-Yeah, I was just calling to say hi.

-[Octavia] I'm actually

just getting dinner ready. Are you OK?

Oh, that's fine. I'll, I'll let you go.

Yeah, I was just calling to say hello.

[Octavia] No, no. Why don't,

why don't you join us?

I mean, it's nothing special,

but you're always welcome.

That'd be great. I've, I've,

I've got a birthday present for Lily,

actually.

[Octavia] OK, great. I'll see you soon.

OK.

[sighs] I'm sorry it's so impromptu.

I mean, I've been meaning

to give you a proper welcome, but

-Welcome.

-Oh, cheers.

-[Ezra] Feel a bit like a c*ck.

-No. Don't, Ez.

-[sighs]

-[Octavia] You OK?

-Oh, yeah. Yeah.

-[Octavia] Yeah?

How's Lou? All good?

He's fine.

Well, sometimes

he brings it home with him, but

How's your mum? I'm so sorry.

I've been meaning to check in on her,

but

Ah. You know,

dementia's just desperately sh*t.

Yeah.

What about Aunty Pat?

Um,

I don't know, she's dying.

It's just awful.

I'm so scared of not having a mum.

Yeah.

[Evie] I told you I should've done it!

[Gracie shouting]

What the hell are you doing in here?

-[Gracie] How many times have I told you?

-I'm sorry. Sorry.

No, no. No. It's

[Lily] I'm sorry.

[Gracie] You're making it worse.

Give me that.

-[Lily crying]

-[Octavia] Oh.

Oh, god.

I'm sorry. I tried to clean it up.

What possessed you to buy a fountain pen

for an eight-year-old?

I'll, I'll cover the costs. Sorry.

Just leave him alone, Lou. Can you go get,

uh, paper towels or something?

-Is there anything that I can?

-[Octavia] Don't touch anything.

Go and wash your hands.

Evie, what are you doing in here?

Out. Can you help your sister?

f*ck.

[solemn cello music plays]

[solemn cello music continues]

[door opens]

[rustling]

[Scout] Hello?

[panting]

[thud]

sh*t.

Who's there?

I know you're there. I can hear you.

[Scout] Katz!

-I, uh

-What are you doing? Poking around?

Are you obsessed with her?

-No.

-[Scout] You're stalking us.

No, I actually wanted to talk to you.

[Ezra] But you're right.

This is, this is

I shouldn't be here like this, now,

right now.

-I'm so sorry.

-Wait, Katz. Katz.

-I'm so sorry.

-What did you want to talk to me about?

-Hedwig?

-Yeah.

Something happen?

This is hers. From Cam's car.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

I thought maybe you could look at it,

and you might see something

that you recognise that could help.

Can I keep this?

If you can tell me what it means.

Listen, I know you don't want

to get her into trouble,

but I shouldn't even

be investigating this.

If you know she's OK,

that's, that's all I want to know.

I'll drop it.

She texted me.

It's, uh, it's not her number

but she had another phone, I think,

for, for dealing.

So you think it might be from her,

but you're not completely sure?

Yeah. Beastie, that's what she calls me,

but she doesn't usually sign off

with an X.

So have you tried to call the number?

-Yeah, a lot. It's off.

-OK.

She said to let her go.

I don't know. I just, I don't want police

going after her.

What if it's not her?

-I know.

-Let me help you. Please.

-OK.

-Thank you.

Thank you. I want you to look through

every page in that book, OK?

OK.

[Ezra] Thank you. Thank you.

[keyboard clicking]

[Ezra] Hey, um, I forgot my password

on my Tracker.

Can I just borrow yours?

I need to check something.

Thanks.

[Ezra] Thank you. Right.

[thunder rumbles]

[thunder rumbles]

[sound of chimes]

[Ezra] Hey.

[Scout] Hey.

You alright?

I'm

I'm worried something bad's happened.

Why?

Found out some, some things last night.

What?

You can't be a cop. OK?

[Scout] Promise that you're safe.

I promise.

[Scout] Come on.

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

[Ezra] Eugh!

[Ezra] Hi, Octavia.

-[Octavia crying]

-[Ezra] What's wrong?

[Octavia] Mum died. She's dead.

-[Octavia crying]

-[Ezra] I'm so sorry.
