NARRATOR: Once upon a time,
13
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:53,580
there was a land of neon rainbows
called Kings Cross
14
00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:57,660
where fantasies could be bought
and nightmares walked the streets.
15
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,940
It was a Neverland,
16
00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:01,860
a land on another planet,
17
00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:05,375
a land where a western suburbs
schoolboy called John Ibrahim...
18
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:09,530
...came to seek his fortune.
19
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:39,776
C'mon, Buddy!
20
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:46,774
Left-right, right-left. Left!
21
00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:48,969
Kick his arse, Bud.
22
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:54,255
Get him, Bud!
23
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:58,650
C'mon! Go, Bud! Fight him!
24
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:07,294
(GRUNTS)
Ooh!
25
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,340
Hey, you gotta move your feet.
26
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:14,260
Move your feet!
Nice job, boys.
27
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:16,490
What are you doing here?
I had a free period.
28
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:20,020
What happened to your hand?
What happened?
29
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,800
What happened?
Nothing happened.
30
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Show me your hand.
Show me your hand.
31
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,280
Come here.
What? Piss off.
32
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:26,760
Show me your hand.
It's nothing.
33
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,273
Show me your hand!
34
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,037
What happened?
35
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,837
You think you're fucking cool,
don't you, Ibrahim? Dirty fuckin' Leb!
36
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000
So that's why you got kicked out?
I just walked out.
37
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
It's him that should be expelled,
for racial vilifi-classification.
38
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Vilification.
Listen, what about your HSC?
39
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,280
I'm done with school.
What?
40
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,920
You're a zub, man. You know
what plans we've all got for you.
41
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Yeah, I got plans of my own.
What?
42
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Man, not this stuff again.
43
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840
Come on, I've been
working doors for ages.
44
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,760
How long you been at Images for, John?
45
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,720
18 months.
Got a bit of time under your belt!
46
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Parra's not the Cross, OK?
47
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
No, it's not. You can't stop me
working here, though.
48
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,920
Yes, I can.
Oh, come on. I could help you out.
49
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,440
You can't even do what you're told.
50
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,920
You're a short arse, you're gonna
get in my way. Go home. Go home. Go.
51
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,440
(GRUNTS)
(OTHERS LAUGH)
52
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,840
Far out, man.
He just can't do what he's told.
53
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,070
See you, Johnny.
Ahh, Johnny!
54
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,880
NARRATOR: Hammer...
real name Harry Hammoud...
55
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920
and the other boys John Ibrahim
looked up to
56
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,360
all came from the same streets out west.
57
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Their families had emigrated
from the same part of Lebanon.
58
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400
They grew up together,
went to school together...
59
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,719
...briefly.
60
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,840
They were like brothers...
a band of up-for-anything brothers.
61
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,560
And Hammer's particular skills...
taekwondo, hot-headedness,
62
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,480
no regard for personal safety...
63
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,392
earned him a reputation
for never losing a fight.
64
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
And a reputation for reckless violence
65
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,076
comes in handy when
you're collecting protection money...
66
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440
...which is kind of like insurance cover
67
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,556
against acts of reckless violence.
68
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,120
The Cross was the vice capital
of Sydney... no, make that Australia...
69
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,280
a one-mile stretch of strip clubs,
brothels, nightclubs, discos,
70
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,068
restaurants, coffee shops
and heartbreaking sob stories.
71
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,040
Whatever your poison,
whatever your perversion,
72
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,200
it was for sale on the Golden Mile.
73
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,749
And people flooded there every night
with pockets full of cash...
74
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,396
...moths to a neon flame.
75
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,312
It was a licence to print money
for those who controlled Kings Cross.
76
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,756
So, who were the kings of the Cross?
77
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
The hard old men
of Sydney's underworld...
78
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,957
George Freeman
and Lennie McPherson.
79
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Dogs! Sorcerers!
80
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,000
The sexually immoral!
81
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,560
You're outside the Lord's gate! Outside!
82
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Dogs! Sorcerers!
The sexually immoral!
83
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,160
Hey, your parents know where you are?
84
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,720
I'm an orphan.
85
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,280
Really? What's your name.
86
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Morrison.
87
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,920
First name?
88
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,955
Van.
89
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,920
You look about as Irish as I do.
90
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Arrest the little prick, officer,
and give him a slap over the head.
91
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Save me the trouble.
92
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Hey, I'm more scared of him than you.
93
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840
You two know each other, do you?
Ohh!
94
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880
We got a smart copper on our hands!
95
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,360
We really need to be careful now!
96
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,960
Yeah, yeah, let's get out of here, huh?
97
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,560
I thought I told you to go home.
98
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,313
(PAGER BEEPS)
99
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,920
NARRATOR: Collecting money
for George and Lennie
100
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,000
wasn't the only use
Hammer put his skills to.
101
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,160
He freelanced as muscle
for most of the clubs and brothels.
102
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,789
And a message on his pager
that said "Pink Flamingo... no ties"...
103
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
...meant that matters had
got past the canapé stage.
104
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Hey, what's going on? Where you off to?
105
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Pink Flamingo.
Need a hand?
106
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,120
No, I'll page you.
You sure?
107
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Hey, stay there.
Oh, come on! Let me come with you!
108
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,240
Stay here with us, mate.
Come on!
109
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Stay back here with us.
110
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800
NARRATOR: The Golden Mile
was a law unto itself,
111
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,351
but its denizens understood very well
the need for order.
112
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,680
When order breaks down,
violence breaks out,
113
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,120
punters get scared off
and the money dries up.
114
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,953
And that cannot be tolerated.
115
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,880
Get out!
Take it!
116
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,598
Go him! Go him!
117
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,080
NARRATOR: Bouncers, doormen,
enforcers like Hammer,
118
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,560
they all shared this love of order.
119
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,600
So when a mob
of drunken out-of-towners
120
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,280
overpower local security staff,
121
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,317
peace has to be restored... and quickly.
122
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,400
And that's what this is, by the way...
a peacekeeping exercise.
123
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,277
JOHN: Oi, sunshine!
124
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,520
What the fuck you think you're doing?
125
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,320
I just saved your hairy
Lebanese arse, mate.
126
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,800
Like fuck you did.
127
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Oi, what's going on here?
Nothing.
128
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,800
We had a report of a brawl.
Yeah, you're a bit late.
129
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,520
Done your job for you.
130
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Is everything alright?
You guys alright in here?
131
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,120
MEN: Yeah.
132
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,200
What about you, sir? Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
133
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Kings Cross 51 to VKG. Everything's
pretty quiet on the street here.
134
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Fuck off! Get out of here.
Fuck off! Get out! Get out!
135
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,751
You gotta admit,
that was a pretty good kick.
136
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Fucking overreached, mate.
Your balance was all wrong.
137
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,200
Oh, bullshit!
138
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,280
I'm taekwondiva, mate!
139
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,160
First you must learn to stand.
(PAGER BEEPS)
140
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,355
Then you must learn to fly.
141
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,557
Yeah, Ross wants me over at Pussycats.
142
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,318
Suppose you might as well come.
143
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Oh, you need my short arse now,
do you?
144
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,152
I need a mascot.
145
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,073
(LAUGHS)
146
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,840
NARRATOR: John Ibrahim
wasn't the only one
147
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,680
attracted to the pots of gold
on the Golden Mile.
148
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:54,600
Alright. Don't miss the bus!
149
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Good luck at the new job, Dad.
Thanks, sweetheart.
150
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,360
'Bye, mate.
151
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,240
Bankcard payment's due.
152
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,390
Mm-hm. I'll see you later.
153
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,800
NARRATOR: Greedy coppers
could see the appeal
154
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,120
of working in a place
where the language was money.
155
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,760
For Detective Sergeant Trevor Haken,
a transfer to Kings Cross
156
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,513
was like an express train
to the promised land.
157
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240
This is what I call
the general revenue shelf.
158
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160
It's for general use.
Anyone in the office can eat all of that.
159
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,000
This shelf down here, though...
individual use only.
160
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Now, the label system
really helps out there.
161
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,480
The fridge fairy finished
boring your balls off yet?
162
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,040
It's a system, Chook.
163
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Come here.
164
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
OK, this is Grunter.
165
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,920
G'day, mate.
G'day. Sean.
166
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,080
And this is Parrot.
167
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,320
G'day.
168
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,040
They're working on those bashings
on Macleay Street,
169
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,120
aren't you, gentlemen?
170
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,760
And Scully's supposed to be
171
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,840
up to his perspiring pits
in car rebirthing,
172
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,680
but I don't know
what the fuck he's doing.

they don't get shot off.

00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:26,580
Thanks for coming up.
352
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:29,380
No worries, mate.
Looking very spiffy there.
353
00:22:29,380 --> 00:22:31,380
Yeah, Area Command dinner.
354
00:22:31,380 --> 00:22:33,540
Don't have to wear it too often,
thank Christ.
355
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:37,100
(LAUGHS)
So, mate...

Mm-hm.
357
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:41,700

Word is they ended up looking like
Jeff Fenech's sparring partner.
365
00:23:00,580 --> 00:23:02,420
Well, they resisted arrest, didn't they?
366
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:05,820
You used only necessary force?
Course.

Nothing Commissioner Avery
wouldn't think was 100% kosher?

You know, Den,
you and your beloved leaders
369
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:16,972
have been sitting behind desks
for too long.

out in the real world?

Just doing your job.

and the job gets harder
for all of us, mate.
377
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:37,340
What would those
bloody journos know, Den?
378
00:23:37,340 --> 00:23:40,540
I'd like to see them spend a day...
HALF a day... out there in the Cross

00:23:40,540 --> 00:23:42,420
dealing with the shit
that we've gotta deal with.

00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:43,980
I mean, come on... those scumbags

were marching up and down Darlo Road
all night causing trouble.
382
00:23:47,620 --> 00:23:50,340
They insulted Trev's wife,
then they attacked us.
383
00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:54,620
They kicked Sean Sinclair's head
so hard he's got six stitches.
384

Now, any sort of injuries that they have

Nothing.
390
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,460
So, why are we going there?
To kick his head in?
391
00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:20,940

head in? We're just going for a drink.

No, no.
Alright, let's go.

Hey, matey.
Detectives! Praise the Lord.

00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:42,580
Some druggies took my board.
396
00:24:42,580 --> 00:24:46,060
I can't impart the word of the Lord
without a board to write it on.
397
00:24:46,060 --> 00:24:49,380
What time was this?
About one hour ago.

00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:51,140
Whereabouts?
Up on the strip.
399
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:53,500
And how many were there?
Four.

Couple of years.

Well, turnover's great.
403
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,860
It's one of three clubs in the Cross
that's got a 6am licence.
404
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:09,460
But drugs are a problem...
half the staff's got their hands in the till

and every Tom, Dick and Harry

to hit on you for a freebie.

you could lose your liquor licence.
410

Or you could just pay
an on-the-spot fine.

some work to do.

you were kind of brazen?

Why don't you fuck off?

800.

Right, well, after compliance,
458
00:28:11,060 --> 00:28:15,258
we'd have to be getting
not less than 15% over three years.

at the end of the road.

Hey, Mr Freeman?
462
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:37,900
'Compliance' means conforming, right?
463
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:42,980
Like, conforming to government
regulations... safety and shit.
464
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:45,420
Hey, what do you and Mr McPherson
look for in a club?
465
00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:48,820
Is it just the street
or does the building matter too?
466
00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:52,335
Didn't realise you taught basic business
to the hired muscle.
467
00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:58,380
Hey, I wanna be like you guys,
Mr Freeman, Mr McPherson. I wanna...
468
00:28:58,380 --> 00:29:00,900
I wanna be as successful
as you, you know?
469
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:02,740

470
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:04,780
I'm sure you do.

474

You still at school?
475
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:21,460
I can read, write and multiply.
476
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:23,900
Nothing more school could teach me.
477
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:25,333
In other words, they kicked you out.
478
00:29:28,180 --> 00:29:31,140
I was expelled from three schools.
479
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:33,290
I left for good when I was 14.
480
00:29:37,820 --> 00:29:39,299
Never did me any harm.
481
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,180
Told the Chinese to stay put.
482
00:29:58,180 --> 00:30:03,100
They got a whole fucking town
named after them. We get the Cross.
483
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:04,980
What, you don't trust Asians?
484
00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:07,020
Chinks, wogs, Lebos,
485
00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:09,580
bog Irish, Poms, Aussies...
doesn't bother me.

Hi.
492
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:25,580
Hi.
493
00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:27,060
Sweetie, the estate agent called.
494
00:30:27,060 --> 00:30:29,900
We can check out that place
in the Highlands this weekend.
495
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,540
Looking forward to it, sweetheart.
496
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:34,820
Hey, not too many of those.
497
00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:37,095
Cholesterol... it's a silent killer.
498

NARRATOR: Like King Arthur
with Merlin,
502
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:52,540
John Ibrahim sat at George Freeman's
well-shod feet and soaked up
503
00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:55,780
everything the colourful racing identity
had to teach.
504
00:30:55,780 --> 00:30:57,740
MAN: Think of the marsupials!
505
00:30:57,740 --> 00:31:01,500
Two of his most important lessons
were about money and respect.
506
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:03,180
You can't take something for nothing.
507
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:05,340
You pay your people, you pay them well.
508
00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:07,260
You pay your suppliers.
509
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:10,172
Fuck me, you even pay some taxes.
510
00:31:13,180 --> 00:31:15,100
If you're serious about making money,
511
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:16,620
then you gotta stay out of trouble,
512
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:18,420
and you won't stay out of trouble
513
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:20,940
if you don't give people
what they've earned.
514
00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:23,170
And that includes respect.
515
00:31:24,460 --> 00:31:25,415

We'll wait and see.
521
00:31:50,460 --> 00:31:52,380
You're fucking kidding me.
You went inside Freeman's house?
522
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:54,220
Swear to God. He invited me in.
523
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:57,060
Gave me a cup of tea.
You should see Freeman's missus.

Yeah.
530
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:15,737
Isn't he expelled?

I don't want your money.
I need your suit.

Thank you.
1203
01:20:42,336 --> 01:20:44,256
You want a drink?
1204
01:20:44,256 --> 01:20:46,167
Oh, no, thanks.
1205
01:20:53,536 --> 01:20:55,413
Just a blow job will be fine.
1206
01:20:57,056 --> 01:20:58,536
Pardon?
1207
01:20:58,536 --> 01:21:00,367
A blow job.
1208
01:21:01,416 --> 01:21:03,771
Then maybe you can play with yourself.

Isn't that right?
1213
01:21:49,576 --> 01:21:51,453
Haven't you done this before?
1214
01:21:52,576 --> 01:21:54,096
No.

Shit!

01:22:12,256 --> 01:22:13,736
You know, you might be a bit
1217
01:22:13,736 --> 01:22:15,727
too straight for this sort of work.
