01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

I was the target, not Ben.

Did you know your father

was having an affair?

If you can call having an affair

with my mother having an affair.

She just lost her father.

If you do anything to hurt her,

you'll have me to deal with.

Mandy ordered the hit.

No-one is safe in this city anymore.

I want the sh**ter's head

on a platter tomorrow.

Why don't you tell me about the plan?

I wouldn't wanna spoil

the surprise.

They want a pliant population.

This has been a community

service announcement.

He knows we're closing in.

Get away from the dumpster!

Tom!

Is it you?

You going all big

brother on me now?

This can't go on.

You k*lled your brother.

Yeah, well, we're nearly done.

It's gonna be a beautiful day.

Police identified the man believed

to be at the centre of Melbourne's

sh**ting terror as

Jarrod James Bungert.

The alleged g*nman

is still at large.

Questions remain whether taskforce

officers mishandled operations

after the armed fugitive evaded

capture yesterday when the body,

believed to be his brother,

of Anton Bungert was discovered.

I fed your cat. Don't worry.

It's gonna be a beautiful day.

I love you.

Oh, sh*t!

Sorry. Sorry, it's just

Oh, no, it's - it's fine. Sorry.

Are you alright?

Yeah, just

Sorry I'm here. It's just,

I just couldn't sleep at home.

No, of course.

Mandy's - just sh*t everywhere.

Of course.

I was just wondering

if the offer still stands, if I

could stay here for a few days.

As long as you like. You know that.

I just feel like I need some

time to sort my sh*t out.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Not yet.

OK.

I'll go get your room ready.

I'm glad you're here.

Where's Dazza?

Don't know. Ah, gastro, I heard.

Just gonna check the roster.

I'd be worried if you didn't.

Just stay in the vehicle

till I sort this out, mate, OK?

Sure, sure.

You do what you gotta do.

All digital traces of Jarrod James

Bungert have been wiped clean.

I mean, he's like a ghost.

Hey, that call last night,

what do you think he meant by

"Today's gonna be a beautiful day"?

I don't know.

Well, can you hazard a guess?

Well, he knows we're

closing in and he's lost

all freedom of movement, so he'll

be wanting to wrestle back control.

Probably do more damage.

Yeah, to what?

Well, what's he angry about?

Big data, surveillance -

something to do with that.

OK. Hey, Kip, where're we at with

the most recent surveillance hacks?

Interview with Amanda Petras,

August 25 at 9:29 a.m.

Interview conducted by

Detective Senior Sergeant Bronski

and present,

Detective Sergeant Pratt.

I wanna talk to Jane.

She'll ask me about my childhood,

whether my Daddy didn't love me

enough

or whether he loved me too much.

She can solve me like a puzzle.

I don't think that you fully

appreciate the gravity

of the situation.

Oh, I do.

I get it. I'm f*cking terrified.

Is that what you

wanted to hear, Jane?

I wanna talk to you about

the events that led up to the death

of Benjamin Sailor.

The events that led up to?

In particular the circumstances

under which you engaged

the services of James Cooper.

Who?

Look, Jane has set me up here,

just like she put the coke

in my bedroom,

but you'd know all about that.

Do you wanna tell me what you were

doing at the laundromat last night?

Yeah, I was getting washing powder

'cause I'd run out and I was buying

it from the machine.

Really?

In a laundromat that was

a ten-minute drive from your place?

What about that locker you opened?

You do know that that,

and the texts on your phone,

are enough to charge you

for conspiracy to commit m*rder.

Well, maybe I should

get that lawyer?

Zoe?

Is everything alright?

Mandy called me and she said that

she wants to see me.

And what did you say?

I blanked.

I mean, what am I supposed to say

to that?

I tried to tell her no, but

she just wouldn't listen.

What do you think I should do?

I can't tell you that.

Even if I want you to?

Well, it's not that simple.

Jane, can you just please,

can you just tell me what to do?

I just - I need answers.

Well, OK, you want answers?

Don't call her back.

She'll just manipulate

you because you let her.

I'm sorry.

Look, do you want me to come home

so we can talk this through?

No, don't worry about it.

It's fine.

Before capturing global media's

attention,

31-year-old Jarrod James Bungert was

a fringe dweller

and unknown to police.

His movements prior to the alleged

attacks remain a mystery.

Oh thank god.

The media was doing my head in.

So much for watching soap operas.

Well, there's not much choice.

There's news on every channel.

You're supposed to be resting.

I heard they arrested Mandy.

Yep.

She's tried to deny it.

We're waiting for her lawyer

to show up. You OK?

I thought I'd feel better?

I don't, not yet.

Anyway, I need a

distraction while we wait.

Well, did you wanna bounce

a couple of ideas around?

Why would Jarrod k*ll his brother?

What's the family history?

He had a messed-up

relationship with his father.

Yeah, so did I.

Didn't turn me into a k*ller.

His father was a Vietnam vet.

He was super-violent.

Died when Jarrod was 15.

Jarrod k*lled him?

Yeah, well, that was my first

thought, too.

I mean, it would fit with him

sh**ting middle-aged men,

but no, it was cancer.

Multiple cancers,

from exposure to Agent Orange. So?

Well, Jarrod mentions Agent Orange

in his manifesto.

Nick.

Yeah.

I've been going back

through Jarrod's manifesto.

We know that chemicals

k*lled his father.

There are multiple references

throughout it. Words like 'toxic',

'poison', 'chemicals',

it comes up time and time again.

Almost as many times as the word

'data'. Right.

And buried down the back is this.

"Corporate greed has

poisoned the environment

"with toxic chemicals,

but there will be a reckoning,

and the agent of their destruction

will be of their own making."

He's planning a chemical attack?

Possibly.

Mandy's lawyer's arrived.

They've agreed to a deal.

I thought I might let

her stew for a while.

That may not necessarily loosen her

up. She's a pathological narcissist.

Without an audience,

she might just shut down.

Well, she doesn't look too worried.

She thinks she can talk

her way out of anything.

She's been doing it for years.

Really?

Game on.

I'm prepared to admit to some

things, but not to others.

Yeah. I mean, I sent a text.

I mean, that's all.

It's not like I actually

pulled the trigger.

And these texts that you sent,

how did you know where to send them?

Ah, my dealer knew

someone who knew someone.

And do any of these

someones have names?

Well, there was

only one number on the phone.

It was a prepaid phone? Yeah,

I know. I thought it was a joke.

But you still called the number.

Texted.

Right.

I just wanted to scare her.

I didn't mean for anyone

to, you know, to be k*lled.

Not Jane, not Ben.

God, not Ben.

Where did you

get the money to pay for it?

That's a good story, actually.

You'll appreciate

the irony of this, Jane.

I was in my hotel room.

I hope you're hungry.

There's a great Chinese place

around the corner.

It's pretty pricy, but

Ah,

I got dinner waiting for me at home.

Oh, god. Live a little.

Ah

Um What, Jane's not

gonna let you out to play? Don't.

What are you doing?

It's just temporary

until I fix myself up somewhere,

like, properly.

What'd you do with the money I gave

you for the bond, for that flat?

Oh, god, that place

wasn't right for us.

Mmm, there is no us, Mandy.

God, what is up with you?

Yeah, he tried to buy me off.

Oh, my god. He gave me $50,000

to get the f*ck out of his life.

You're gonna have to make

this money last, OK,

'cause there'll be no more.

There's enough there to, you know,

I don't know, go somewhere new.

And what about Zoe?

I'm her mother.

You can't just shut me

out of her life.

So, yeah.

He ended up paying for his own hit.

It's not what I wanted to happen.

I just wanted to scare you, Jane.

This is a massive misunderstanding.

Can I have a minute?

Interview paused at 11:37.

It's alright.

Do you want me to stay?

No, I'm good. Thanks.

You gonna solve the puzzle?

It's not that difficult.

Yep. It's karma.

Do you understand that? It's my job

to understand people, Mandy.

You have no idea who I am.

The thing about narcissists is

you you don't see other people.

You only see them in terms

of your own internal drama.

Like Ben.

You think you loved him,

and I've no doubt

that you believed that. Mm-hm.

But you never saw him

for who he truly was.

He was just a character

in the Mandy show.

And unfortunately so was Zoe.

And what was I, the villain?

The sad thing is, Mandy,

apart from the fact that you've

lost everything, I honestly

believe you don't know what you are.

But I do.

I see you very clearly.

And there's nothing there.

I wanna see Zoe.

So, apart from

"It's going to be a beautiful day,"

did he say anything else?

We chatted about the cat.

He was really nice.

Friendly.

And then all of a sudden,

he just puts the cuffs on me.

OK, do you have any idea why

he might have targeted you?

No.

Did he take anything?

Just the van.

OK, well, what was in the van?

Ah, nothing. I was just driving

to work. Where do you work?

Southbank Security.

Guarding where?

Appleton Dock.

Appleton Dock. Get details.

What's up?

He's gained access to the hazardous

chemical section of the wharf.

It's a secure area.

Well, not that secure.

There are three guards on duty.

Two are unaccounted for.

OK, any idea where he is?

One of my members has eyes on

a man on old wharf three.

It's the development next door.

Looks like he's cut through a couple

of fences to the haz-chem facility.

Which way's that?

OK. Hey, get onto Kip.

I want a drone up in the air.

We need a positive ID.

I wanna know exactly what we're

walking into in there.

All SOG units on site.

Maintain a secure perimeter.

Take up positions.

Do not fire without authorisation.

Use extreme caution until

the threat has been identified.

Copy that. Alpha Team, move in.

Jarrod?

That was quick.

Tell the taskforce I'm impressed.

Why are you here?

Well, we discussed this, remember?

People need to wake up.

And how do you plan on doing that?

I did terrible things, Jane,

and they still didn't listen.

I had to take it to the next step.

Which is?

You'll see.

Jarrod.

What's that on his arm?

Is that a timer?

Do you want me to get closer?

Yeah, do it.

Hang on, is that a chemical UN ID?

Can you zoom in, Kip?

I'm gonna check that out.

Yeah, great.

Hey, Nick? Yeah.

Press.

Ah, piss 'em off.

Get 'em right back, yeah?

2100 hours.

21-7-82.

Look at this.

What's that about?

It's for me.

Jane

No, that's why he's

calling me, Nick.

He thinks we have a connection.

He's reaching out.

Well, I'm not sending you

over there, so forget it.

Oh, come on.

Can you tell us what's happening?

I need the vans back to

the other side of Dynan Road.

We've established a perimeter

and you're breaching it.

Is that Jarrod Bungert at the docks?

OK, pack up the vans

and move them all back.

Do you have him cornered?

Do you expect to apprehend him?

If you don't pack up the vans and

move them back,

I'm gonna get my mates in uniform

to do it for you, alright?

As you heard, a spokesperson

for the taskforce is unable

to confirm if the man

at the end of the docks is the same

man who's been terrorising

Melbourne for the last month.

Copy 07, hold position. That's as

close as we're going to get.

07 to 50, target acquired.

08 to 05, target in sight.

Copy 08, hold position.

Alright, sn*pers are now in

position here, here and here.

They've been instructed to

hold their fire

until we're clear about

what we're facing.

OK, great.

You don't think he expected sn*pers?

Nick, everything we know about

him suggests he's planned this.

Well, Jane, you said

that he's on the back foot,

you said he's on edge, so which

is it? Just send me out there.

What, and give him a hostage?

That's my problem.

No, it's not. It's gonna be my

problem, Jane,

because then I'm gonna have to

explain to your loved ones

why I sent you out there.

I've got the best chance of stopping

him, Nick. He's cornered and this is

the place he's chosen, so he doesn't

think he's walking away from this.

What if he wants to go

out in a blaze of glory?

Well, then, I'm definitely not

sending you out there.

07 and 50, establish new position.

Copy, 09. Hold position.

OK, the chemical is called

methyl isocyanate.

It's used in adhesives, pesticides,

that kind of thing.

And it's dangerous?

Well, not when kept in cold storage

or stored in barrels or loaded into

shipping containers, but when

blown into the atmosphere, yes.

It is, it's deadly,

and if that stuff touches the water,

it's gonna cause this thing called

an exothermic reaction.

What does that mean?

Essentially it's the release

of an extremely toxic cloud.

It's the same chemical that caused

the Bhopal gas tragedy

in India in 1984.

"Poisonous gases flooded the city,

causing great panic.

One estimate puts it at 8,000 deaths

and adds another 8,000 since then."

OK, call the EPA.

Yep.

Get the Premier on the line. Yeah.

Kip. Onto it.

Yeah, right now.

I wanna see how far

it's gonna spread.

There's been chaos

on the docks, Bryan.

The press were pulled back

and we're just hearing reports that

many of the apartment blocks in

Docklands are being evacuated.

Now, police are yet to issue any sort

of statement about the stand-off,

which is clearly taking place just

a few hundred metres from here.

The drone footage shows us eight

barrels of methyl isocyanate,

each with 200L.

There's enough C4 strapped

to the barrels to blow it sky-high

across the water,

triggering the exothermic reaction.

It's a toxic cloud.

OK, but do we know how toxic?

Oh, it will k*ll everyone who

comes into contact with it.

The casualties will be

in the tens of thousands,

possibly hundreds of thousands.

Nick.

Ah, notify Emergency Services.

Send them Kip's simulation.

We're gonna need to

evacuate the entire city.

Taskforce Stingray has confirmed

they are involved in

an active situation at the docks,

but it is unknown if the man

involved is Jarrod Bungert,

wanted over the city's reign

of terror.

Hey, you've called Zoe. Leave

a message, or don't, or whatever.

Zoe, it's Jane. I need you to

I need you to know I'm sorry.

About everything.

And I hope you're OK. I love you.

Tom, what

what are you doing here?

I've never felt better, mate.

OK, well as Acting Command,

I'm asking you to get

back in that taxi and stand down.

Well, I don't think the paperwork

for those orders has gone through,

so request denied.

Where are we with the sn*pers?

I've got two on the opposite shore,

one in the shipping control tower,

one on the jetty,

both with clear line of sight.

Well, tell me about the chemicals.

Boss!

What?

Oh, Jesus! Get some of your men,

pull her back.

No. Let her stay.

Tom?

What are you doing?

Me?

Shouldn't you be in the hospital?

Do you think you

could talk him down?

Honestly, I don't know.

Look, I don't want you to be his

next target.

Keep your phone on, put it in your

pocket so that we can listen,

in case it all goes to sh*t.

Thanks for not

telling me to come back.

I wouldn't dare.

Pull the drone up.

Keep it in sight.

I wanna get a lay of the land.

I'm sorry.

Jane?

Jarrod.

Will you excuse me for one second,

please?

f*ck.

It is so good to meet you.

You too.

Please.

What's that beeping noise?

It's a timer of some sort.

Possibly linked to a detonator.

Well, here we are.

Here we are.

What's this all about, Jarrod?

You you don't know?

I've been trying to understand.

Well, you've read my manifesto.

It's all there.

It's all spelt out, very clearly.

Why the shootings?

I just - I don't understand how

that fits

into anything that I read

in your manifesto.

Why do people keep putting up

with more and more surveillance?

Can you boost up the sound?

I wanna hear everything.

They're told it's all there

to keep them safe, right?

But they're being sold a lie.

And who's lying to them?

The government.

And who runs the government?

Big f*cking business.

We are being manipulated, Jane,

as a people for their capital gain.

There's no such thing

as free speech anymore.

We have no rights to our personal

data.

What I wanted to do was

I wanted to show everyone

that all of the cameras,

all of the surveillance,

nothing can keep them safe.

I moved through all of the cameras

in that city and no-one saw me.

It's all a lie. It's all a lie.

And the victims?

Sacrifices have to be made

to get the message out.

Hey, Lozza.

No, I've been out of it. Why?

What?

Whilst we can't confirm

the identity of the man

or his latest demands,

we can identify the hostage

as Dr. Jane Halifax.

Zoe, it's Jane.

I need you to I need

you to know I'm sorry.

About everything.

And I hope you're OK. I love you.

You know, what I do here today will

be talked about for decades to come.

I'm worried that they'll talk about

it as the work of a madman.

And I know you don't want that.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

When you talk to power,

you have to talk about something

they care about, right?

And as we both know,

they don't care about big data,

toxic chemicals, climate change.

What do you think they care about?

Money.

How much do you think the real

estate of greater Melbourne's worth?

More than it should be.

What if it's

uninhabitable for a year?

Or or maybe five years.

What then?

How many Royal Commissions

do you think there'd be into this?

And I guess they'd have

to work through

every issue I raised, wouldn't they?

You're sounding like a martyr.

If necessary.

So you've thought about everything.

What if you don't make it that far?

Oh, you're talking

about the sn*pers?

Those two over there, or the one by

the truck? I don't - you know what,

I don't think they're gonna want

to sh**t me. Things'll get ugly.

Right on cue.

What happens if you stop

pressing the button?

I think you know.

How many seconds between beeps?

And if you don't press it?

Boom.

All sn*pers maintain your position.

Suspect is armed with

a dead-man switch. Do not sh**t.

There's a risk of detonation.

Repeat, risk of detonation.

You know my mother used to say -

oh, you would have loved her,

by the way. You and her would

have

Ah, she used to say,

"Every single person has the power

to change the world, but only

the special ones have the courage."

I can't let this lie, Jane.

People like me and you, we don't -

we don't get to sit by

on the sidelines and watch.

And so, because the idiots

aren't listening,

I had to come up

with something even bigger.

Something no-one will be able to

sleep through. And it's beautiful.

Do you think your mother

would approve of you k*lling

so many people, Jarrod?

Sacrifices have to be made.

Well, I know you

didn't mean to hurt Amy.

That was an accident, Jane.

I know.

You went to the hospital, you took

flowers, risked getting caught.

And I don't believe you wanted

to hurt Toni, either.

She brought that upon herself.

But all the other victims were male.

So?

Why is that?

Did they remind you of your father?

Let's not speak about my father.

You don't know anything about him.

Well, I know he was violent.

Did he beat you? Was he a*usive?

Is that what this is about?

Yes, he beat us! Yes, he beat

the living sh*t out of us!

All of us! I was a kid!

They sent him off to Vietnam

and they f*cked with his head.

They drenched him in

poisons and in chemicals

that ate away his insides.

They turned him into a monster.

And so now you're going to drench

everyone else in chemicals.

I tried to wake everyone up, Jane!

I tried!

I tried really hard and guess what?

Nobody gives a sh*t.

I literally put the information

in front of them!

I did all the work for them!

They're all happy to go

about giving their data to -

to - to Google, to Facebook,

or anybody else who asks for it.

I honestly thought

all of that would stop once I took

control of the screens, once I took

pot shots at the Minister while she

was in her vehicle. I - I thought -

I really thought it would.

But nothing.

They're all still asleep.

Zoe, you can't be here.

Mila! Where's Jane?

Give us a moment, OK? Hey,

we're in the middle of something.

Yeah, I know.

It's all over the news.

Yeah, OK.

We're all in a lot of danger

and Jane would not want you being

here. Well, I'm not going anywhere.

So unless you arrest me,

I'm not leaving.

Mila, please let me stay.

OK, she's with me.

Come on. Come on. Quickly.

Alright, you stay where I put you.

If you give me any grief,

I swear to god I will cuff you

and throw you in the back

of a divvy van.

This is as far as you go.

Mm-hm.

Mate, keep an eye on her, please.

You don't empathise with those

people?

Those sleepers? No, not really.

No, they had their chance.

I could pretend to.

What psychological category

would that put me in?

Lack of empathy is symptomatic

of a number of disorders.

I feel empathy, I do.

I - I don't want you to be harmed.

Well, maybe that's because you're

projecting something onto me.

Perhaps.

Kip, check that timer.

Make sure it's 30 seconds.

Or perhaps I need your

help with something.

And what's that?

I need you to tell my story.

And why would I do that?

'Cause I think you care.

Is it important to you that I care?

Very.

What do you think of me, Jane?

I think you're very complex.

Yeah.

The timer's confirmed at 30 seconds.

You say you need me to tell your

story. We could do it together.

I could help you, Jarrod.

It doesn't have to be like this.

You're a smart, young man.

You don't have to do this.

We could lobby the government

What, from prison? Come on, Jane.

We both know that'll never happen.

They won't allow me access

to the internet or to media.

They'll strip everything from me.

So you're really not walking

away from this, are you?

I'm sorry.

I don't want you to die, Jarrod.

It's for the greater good.

Well, I'm not gonna tell your story.

What - what is she doing?

Shh! Quiet, quiet, quiet.

So, if you're going to do it, do it.

I thought you said

you would help me.

Don't let me down now, Jane.

Don't do that.

Tom, Jane's not trained to

handle this kind of situation.

She can handle it.

She knows what she's doing.

This isn't for the greater good,

because you don't care about anyone.

You

Those people you m*rder*d,

they were just targets.

You only saw them down

the barrel of a sn*per's r*fle,

and now you're the target.

She's telling us to take the shot.

What?

Just listen to what she's saying.

Don't make me hurt you. Not you.

Not you!

Can you pull up

the 30 second timer?

Get me a direct line to the sn*pers.

Look at me!

Look at me!

You are all I have. I'm sorry.

Start the timer. Take the shot!

Jane, use his thumb!

Go!

Target down.

Confirm, target down.

Clear the area.

It's OK, move away. Move away now.

It's alright. Move away.

Move away.

Clear the area!

Set a perimeter!

It's safe. It's safe.

Great job, everyone!

OK?

Yeah.

Jane, Zoe's here.

Where?

She's at the outer cordon.

Let's give Jane some air.

Come on, let's go for a walk.

You alright?

I didn't have a choice.

No, you did the right thing.

You did the only thing.

Mmm.

I can't have you going

in there doing my job.

I mean, what if I turn shrink?

Ah, come on, keep moving,

keep moving.

I have been such an arsehole, Jane.

Yeah, you have.

I used to be good at my job.

But lately,

I don't know so much anymore.

But you've brought me back

from the edge.

I just wanna know that

you're gonna be OK,

that you're gonna get through this,

that you can make it.

Well, if you can stop being an

arsehole, I can get through this.

Get out.

Dr. Halifax, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

so tell me, would you please

needed #

What are you doing here?

I got your voicemail and I

just needed to tell you

that I'm sorry, and I love you too.

and trace #

It's OK.

Professor Jane Halifax is yet to

agree to comment on the wharf siege

where Jarrod James Bungert was

shot dead by police.

Sources suggest she was at the centre

of the madman's standoff

..Police Minister has called on

the media and public to respect

Professor Jane Halifax's privacy

at this time,

but many questions

still remain unanswered.

Opposition has called on

a full enquiry into the incident.

Cheers.

The other day at the wharf,

were those tears that I saw?

Tears?

Me? No, I'm an emotional cr*pple.

You know that.

Oh, don't say that.

You know I feel awful for

the stuff I said. I didn't

I know you're sorry.

Besides, you've got the next

20 years of me nagging you

to make up for it.

Oh, wow, only 20 years.

Mmm.

Good to know.

So, any idea what you wanna do next?

I don't know.

I'm glad, though,

that I'm not at uni.

It will give me time

to properly heal.

So no solid plans for

the next couple of months?

Oh, god, don't. Is this the start

of the 20 years of nagging?

No, I just wanna make sure

you've got time for this.

You didn't.

A ticket to Nashville.

Well, your Dad's guitar's not gonna

deliver itself.

Thank you.

You should come with me.

Well, I would, except I have

no idea who Jack White is.

And I have a trip of my own planned.

Do you?

Mm-hm. Whereabouts?

Well, I thought I might start

in Spain, and then who knows?

Maybe head south to Morocco.

Wow. Good for you.

I think we both

deserve a fresh start.

Well, on that note, I'm gonna

go and dig out that guitar.

Good idea.

every corner of

like it changes me

like a wolf in the cold

but it's not enough

why do I keep calling

like a wolf in the cold

like a wolf in the cold

so close but it's not enough

I need you to overcome. #
