An ASD Agent, Kim Gordon,

was killed investigating a
murdered anti-China activist,

who called himself Max Dalgety.

Dalgety knew something.
Kim was killed for the same thing.

And I wanna know what it was.

It's Sandy Dalgety.

That photo you showed on the telly,
we know know that is.

This is their son.

The real Max.

And that's Dan White, in the left.

Why would he use Max's name?

- Dalgety was shut down.
- Why was it shut down, Thomas?

I... I don't know anything!

Someone killed her.
She was your friend!

I didn't mean to get her in trouble.

- Who did you tell?
- Vaughn.

I told Vaughn.

It did make sense that
Kim wasn't killed at Mount Pleasant.

This could be the place where she died.

We had him, Dancer. We had Zheng.

- I'll let you get some sleep.
- I don't wanna sleep.

Please!

I know the cyber attack wasn't China,

but I need to convince the PM that
it was orchestrated by Catriona Bailey.

Did I miss the apology or was that it?

I need to prove this conspiracy to Toohey
or I can't shut down Safer Australia.

We're talking about the biggest pro-US,
anti-China politician in the country.

She's about to set up her own spy agency.

I'm asking you as
a personal favour, Weng.

Senator Bailey, does this new legislation
make you the most powerful person in the country?

The Prime Minister might have
something to say about that.

I have a request...

Can you keep an eye on Paxton?

He could be a problem.

The Safer Australia Agency...

- Gan bei.
- Gan bei.

What's she doing here?

Special privileges. Mother's request.

She thinks Diane Dunkley's
dissident story got Sabine back.

And did it?

- Come on, Mom is here.

It's okay, baby, I'm here.

It's alright, sweetheart,
I'm here. Come with me.

Alright, Sabine.
I'm Martin Toohey.

Well, it's good to have you back.

What's it like to be
back on Australian soil?

There's more people this time.

It's time to go, sweet.
I'll call you.

Did she just say there's
more people here, this time?

Humm. I was wondering
when you would come back.

I need to take a shower.

Yeah, I've got an early start too.

We could save on water.

Sounds environmentally friendly.

I'll be there in a second.

Have I ruined your marriage?

No, the marriage is great.

When there's a continent between us.

Did Sabine give you an exclusive?

Yeah. I'm seeing her this
afternoon at Maconochie Correctional.

I've been the senior
on this story for months.

So why you and not me?

Moral compass?

Morning.

Morning.

It's from Mrs. Dalgety.

Hey, Mr. and Mrs. D., it's Dan.

Coming to you from Virginia,
in the good old U.S. of A.

It's different here compared to
Georgetown. But the people are friendly

and the computers are fast.
Yeah, Max would have really liked it.

Anyway, I hope
you're both well.

I promise to come visit when I come back home.

Whenever that is.

Don't do that to me!

Some cutting edge technology there, I see.

Dan White.

Aka Max Dalgety.

He used to send cassette
tapes to Max's parents.

From Langley, Virginia.

As in, CIA...

The CIA target and
recruit hackers all the time.

Young prodigies.

What if Dan White
wasn't a dissident?

What if he was working off
the books for one of ours?

He could have been
with one of the Listeners.

NSA, ASD...

Yeah.

Everything points to ASD.

Maybe it's got
nothing to do with Zheng.

I disposed of Dan White's
body at the request of ASD.

You tell me this now?

Well, now it's significant.

I thought it was a clean-up but
I didn't realize it was a cover-up.

If Dan White is an operative, that means
that he had to have been vetted by ASIO.

Which means, there's a file.

And even if I got it,

you couldn't publish it.

Oh, this is so far beyond publishing.

This is about Kim.

I need to see that file.

It's all set to record.

Thanks so much. Perfect.

Thanks for seeing me.

Shall we just start?

My mom says she trusts you.

She thinks that my article

about the illegal abduction
of dissidents helped to...

force Beijing into a prisoner deal.

Sabine, at the Airbase you said,

"There are more
people here, this time."

Are you saying yesterday
wasn't your first real homecoming?

I think I've been home for weeks.

It doesn't make any sense.

After the trial, they
sedated me for a 2-hour flight.

Told me it was transfer
from Chin-Chang to Harben.

But, I think it was to Australia.

Why?

The man on the plane,
escorting me, spoke Mandarin,

but his accent was wrong.

It doesn't really prove anything.

I know.

But then I heard a magpie.

They don't have
magpies in Zhejiang Provence.

If China handed
you over a month ago,

why wouldn't the
Government announce it?

And what was the bargain?

We know what was
in there for Toohey.

So what was in there for China?

I don't know.

I'm...

I'm sorry, I'm not feeling very well.
Where is that media officer?

The dissidents?

We give MSS free rein to act
with impunity on Australian soil

to disappear anti-China dissidents,

- while we close our eyes to it?
- I'm sorry...

- Sabine, did you know?
- Chloe, are you still there?

Sabine! Sabine,
did they make you name names?

- Sabine. Kevin Dang...
- That's enough now.

- Qui Kwan Sing... Sabine?
- That's enough.

I'll send you the audio file.

I just wanted to talk to my mom.

Just this way.

To Cerberus!

I thought this was
supposed to be a celebration.

Now that the shackles
are off Sabine Hobbs,

we need Toohey puts a knall
in favour of the military buildup.

Well, the President is eager to get
you guys off the sidelines and into the game.

We need full inter-operability:
land, sea and air.

With key personnel in
the chain of command.

And our new Defense Chief working
hand in glove with your General.

Until then, Brent, rest assured,

I'll be your point person.

Good. And what about
your Defense Minister?

I'll handle him.

- Um-hum...
- Not for me, thanks, George.

I have somewhere I have to be.

My grandson is in town.

I didn't even know you
had children, Catriona.

- Me neither...
- Hum.

- Hum.

Ollie, why don't you go
and feed the ducks, hum?

Grandma, there are no ducks...

Hum, persevere, Ollie...

Don't let disappointments
stop you from trying.

There you go...

Grandma has got to work, now.

Okay?

We've been ratfucked.

Sorry.

- Price.
- Harriet.

I put Price up to speed.

- Now, this claim by the Hobbs girl...
- Hum?

On whose authority was she
secretly detained in Australia?

Ah, if not Government, than Agency.

They're supposed to be the same thing.
Has there been a coo nobody told me about?

- Price has run it by the lawyers.
- And?

Well, any publishing of this claim

comes directly under
Section 35-P of the ASIO act.

And any breach of the
ASIO act constitutes an offense

with a presumption against bail

and, under the special
*** of Safer Australia,

charge of treason.

Treason?

I'm writing an article,
not killing the Sovereign.

Well, the legislation is,
if nothing else, Kafkaesque...

This is a newspaper with a proud history
of reporting without fear or favour.

Any conspiracy of maleficence,
official or otherwise.

It will be seen as an
attack on National Security, Gus.

By exposing an abusing executive power?

- You'll have to ask Catriona Bailey for comment.
- Ahh.

If we do that,
she gets an injunction.

- Kills the story.
- God, if you publish, they will charge you.

With a freshly minted law,
like Safer Australia,

believe me, the Government
will be keen to prosecute.

So let them!

My ex has been murdered.

I've been shot at,
my apartment has been ransacked.

Getting them into Court may be our
only hope of getting to the truth.

And exactly how many crippling legal
bulls do you think this paper

- is going to pay for you, Harriet?
- Ahhh.

So what story can we publish?

Whatever...

"Deeply traumatized Australian
girl, with third-degree burns,

thought she had a magpie
in a Chinese prison."

We're done.

Where did you find that?

I was packing her stuff.
It was in one of the boxes.

Well, it's supposed to be private.

Yeah...

And so is this.

You only brought this because you know that
they're not gonna let me print this story.

Brought all that to help
find out who killed Kim.

And will this help?

It proves that Dan White was ASD.

Working for Vaughn.

And, ultimately, Paxton.

So, if Kim was killed as part
of Dan White's cover-up,

that's more than likely one of
ours than it is one of China's.

You look like you're in love.

'Till death do us part?

There's just gotta be some way
for me to get this story out, Dancer.

Just rattle the cage.

Yeah, you do that
and they'll put you in one.

Kim risked everything for it.

I need a drink. Do you?

Yeah.

I've got Dan White,
aka Max Dalgety's file.

He was undercover.
On the payroll.

I'm late. If I don't catch the last
flight out, Wendy will kill me.

We can't let this people silence us, Gus.
We have to get them in front of a judge.

I live in the real world, Harry.

Where the editor-in-chief makes
his calling and he dies a little inside,

but he lives to fight another day.

Your approved article
has been uploaded online.

End of story.

Yeah, but I accidentally sent the wrong
version and it's riddled with errors.

So, hum... We need to get the correct
one uploaded, as soon as possible,

before the tabloids get a hold
and have a field day with us.

Yeah, you can try and get in touch
with Reardon, but he is on a plane at the moment,

by the time he lands,
it's gonna be a circus!

You're a life saver! Thank you so much.
You should have it there now.

Turn this off, Howie.
I have to go back inside.

Hi, Thomas.

So, you've seen it.

Do you know what you've done?

Yeah. I've published my last article.

The paper will cut me loose,
*** certainly gets into prison.

But until then, in the last
hours of freedom I've got left,

I am gonna find out
who killed Kim and why.

I can't help you.

But I know you're gonna run to Vaugh,
after this, because you've done it before.

There's blood on your hands, Thomas.

That's why you can't sleep at night.

That's why you can't
look me in the eye right now.

Okay, look, all I know

is that she traced the second Dalgety
SIM after Vaughn shut it down

and then she used my computer to
steal "Vinegar Hill" off the ASD system.

Ok. "Vinegar Hill", what is that?

It's a classified decryption program.

- And Vaughn knew about this?
- Yeah.

He wasn't happy. Mind you,
Vaughn is never happy,

but this took him to another level.

And this was
the day that Kim died?

No, it was the day before.

There's a 24-hour period
that is unaccounted for?

I figured she ran off-site
where she couldn't be seen.

You know, even with "Vinegar Hill",
a file like that, it could take hours,

even days, sometimes.

Okay, Thomas, I need you
to access the ASD vehicle logs.

Okay... What am I looking for?

I want you to see if
there was any Agency vehicles

checked out by Vaugh,
on the day that Kim was killed.

But... No!
I could lose my job!

Not if you're as
good as Kim said you are.

I...

Hey, Dancer it's me. I think
I know who we're looking for.

How the fuck does
an employee of ASD

end up gutted on the
banks of Lake Burley Griffin

and I find out about it
from Harriet Dunkley?

It's one thing to lie
to the press or the public,

but to lie to me?!

Dan White was a covert operation
undisclosed at Ministerial level.

You're not gonna tell me
you didn't know either?

- We're looking into it, Sir.
- You do that.

Meanwhile, the Federal Police has issued
a warrant for Harriet Dunkley's arrest.

The woman is unstable.

- And friendless.
- She isn't entirely friendless, though. Is she, Catriona?

You've been
backgrounding it for months.

On nothing of consequence, Martin.

So... you're happy to
throw her under the bus, than?

Keep this under the radar, Vaughn.

I'll take care of it, Sir.

Now...

Sabine Hobbs.

The story is a bid out, Martin.

Conspiracy theory twaddle.

We're talking about
a traumatized girl,

who's been through an ordeal
and who, let's face it:

was, obviously, barking mad to set
herself alight in the first place.

My Director General, Paul Wheeler,

has reassured me, personally.

He flew to China to collect Sabine.

Really?

But then, how is it that this...

*** Hercules manifest

says that that plane
took off from Fairbairn,

carrying the same number of
passengers that it landed with,

after circling the Eastern
seaboard for eleven hours.

Because...

Vice-Admiral Hartzig

falsified that document,

in return for your
guaranteeing her Chief of Defense.

I haven't signed off on anyone

for Chief of Defense,
let alone Hartzig.

It goes to Cabinet next week.

My office, now!

What?

Hartzig got a hold of the manifest.

So, we pin it on McAuliffe.

They can't kill McAuliffe twice.

You co-signed the order, Paul.
I can't protect you.

- Catriona...
- You're going to have to fall on your sword.

Paxton's drawn blood, Toohey
needs a body and it has to be you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Turning yourself in?

The warrant is out already?

- Yeah. Come in.
- Thanks.

- Yeah, I know what this is about.
- You do?

You're looking at 5 to 10 inside,
and you couldn't face it

without knowing, once and for all,
what it would be like to sleep with me.

What is that?

I just came back
from the shooting range.

And some likes to pin them up on his wall.

Good news?

One used an ASD fleet vehicle.

A black SUV, the day
that Kim was killed.

The next morning, it was booked in
for a cleaning in detail.

I've just sent you the rego.

So that you can check it against the
CCTV footage, en route to Mount Ainslie.

What's going on, Dunkley?

The 24 hours before Kim's
body was found are unaccounted for.

She wasn't at ASD.

She stole that
decryption software,

so that she could crack a file,

on the SIM, to find out what
Max Dalgety was cut open for.

And she went off-site. Somewhere that...
that they couldn't find her.

Any ideas? You knew her best.

Not sure that I did.

Gareth Robbie might have.

Well, I've got the
credit card details

from his dodgy motels
where he and Kim met.

Is this legit or did you doctor it?

Told you I'm good.

Well, it's really good to know that if
we're ever confronted by a paper man,

with a target on his chest,

you have us covered!

Dancer?

Harriet?

Dancer, someone
is trying to kill me.

- Please, can you help?
- Hang on, I'm coming now!

Just stay on the phone. Stay with me.

Harriet?

- Harriet?
- Charles, it's ***

Harriet?

Harriet?

Okay.

Okay.

It's okay.

You're gonna be okay.

You need to disappear.

Harriet, get on a plane.

You're not safe here.

Where would I go?

Croatia...

Morocco, Costa Rica?

As in, no extradition treaty.

You think the Federal Police
would just let me skip the country?

I can arrange a passport for you.

Beijing has summoned me back.

I know you've
been running Bailey.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Don't lie to me!

This one is a burner.

I used it to send a fake
text to my phone, from Hartzig.

In less than 24 hours, the same false
information came from Catriona Bailey's mouth.

You'll return to Beijing a failure.

And we all know how
tolerant Beijing is of failures.

I fly out tonight.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

You could defect to the U.S.

They would set you up in the
Chinese Studies Program at Harvard.

A quiet life of Academia
in exchange for MSS state secrets.

I'd be shot before
I reached Embassy gates.

Let me make a few calls.

Here, if you need me.

I'm gonna go sort out
your passport. You wait here.

Thank you.

Me llamo Harriet.

Come se llama... Ahhh.

Sasha Rose.

It's Harriet.

Whatever you do, don't come in.

They're going through your stuff.

That's why I need you
to do something for me.

I need you to log on to the server.

In the reference library,

there's a file of the speech given
in Mandarin, by ASD Director, Vaughn,

at the International
Terrorism Conference, last month?

When you've got it,

can you e-mail it to me?

Cara from Media Liaison,
at Maconochie Prison?

- Okay.
- Thank you.

So, thank you.
You've taught me a lot.

Aw, thanks, Sasha.

Mostly, what not to do.
But, still.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Anna Duncan...

Your new passport.

Now let's get you a plane ticket.

I need to see Sabine Hobbs.

This is crazy.

I mean, everyone is trying
to lock you up in here and...

here you are, walking in by choice.

Yeah. Will you promise
you'll come visit me?

What? Here or Costa Rica?

Well, Costa Rica, preferably.

Go, go.

I'll get the ticket and I'll meet you back
here and we'll go straight to the airport.

Bye.

Thanks.

Sabine, I wanna play this for you

and I want you to tell me

- if this is the voice you recognize.
- Okay.

No, that's not him.

He had a really specific accent.

Are you sure?

Can you just keep listening, please?

That's him.

That's the voice.

The voice from the plane from Beijing?

That's him.

Harriet?

Do you know who he is?

- Guard?
- Harriet? Harriet? Tell me!

Guard? Guard?

Guard, can you let me out, please?

Guard?

She doesn't pose a threat.

She has been sacked and discredited.

She will be out of the
country by the end of the day.

That won't shut her up.

She will write a blog or...

- ... something.
- And she will be just one more

hysterical conspiracy theorist,
saying the sky is falling.

We don't want another body, Paul.

Make sure you don't
fuck this one up.

Brimmer. Brimmer, forget Vaughn.
It's not Vaughn.

I know, Harry.
I found her laptop.

You're gonna want to see what's on it.

- The Dalgety SIM?
- Yeah. Media file.

A Chinese secretly filmed
Sabine Hobbs' handover.

Yeah, for insurance,
in case we *** on the deal.

That or blackmail. Listen...

You're never gonna believe
who they handed her over to.

No, I know, I know.

Come on, you don't
wanna miss your flight.

Thank you. Here you go.

Where is your gun?

I left it in the car to save time.

I'll drive. I know a shortcut.

Baudelaire was right.

"The finest trick of the devil is to
persuade you that he does not exist."

But I know, Catriona.

And I know you've
never read Baudelaire.

The genius of you...

Is that you've been spying
for China, for years,

from inside the
pocket of the Americans.

But it's over.

They are gonna know who
the real Catriona Bailey is.

Are they now?

Obviously, you haven't
heard the news.

Car accident on
the way to the airport.

The Ambassador's wife was killed.

Tomorrow morning, you'll
be resigning your Ministry.

Citing family reasons.

I've got you down for
a rotting corpse on the backbench.

Who is gonna believe the most pro-U.S.,
anti-China Minister in the Government

is a spy?

Not when there are...

MSS surveillance photos of every
rendez-vous you and Weng ever had.

There's a difference between
truth and plausibility, Mal.

You can keep those.

I've got copies.

This isn't the way to the airport.

Well, I can't go
without saying goodbye.

Kim and I used to always meet up at
the Lookout before we went hiking.

This was our shortcut.

Did she ever tell you about it?

No.

Harriet...

If you miss the flight,

- Vaugh will...
- Just here.

Just where the path narrows
just between the pines. I...

I figure this... was the place.

She saw the footage of you
at the Sabine Hobbs handover.

She refused to give you the SIM.

You killed her here.

Harriet...

Get on that plane.

You shot at me. On the lake.

You sent one of your men to
leave me to bleed out in the bath.

But now you're gonna
kill me too, right?

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Freedom is not a
crown worn lightly.

It weighs heavy
with responsibility,

for those of us who are
fortunate enough to wear it.

The price of liberty
is eternal vigilance.

And the Safer Australia Agency
is about enshrining that vigilance,

to protect all Australians
from the dangerous few.

To ensure that,
at least on my watch,

no matter how dark
the darkest night,

the light on the
hill will never go out.

You come to gloat?

No.

I'd like to pay your
legal defense costs.

With misappropriated Union Funds?

Why?

What's the age-old proverb?

The enemy of my enemy...

... is my friend.

- Are they treating you alright?
- Yeah.
