Original subtitles

You three, I'm gonna... Good girl, Tilda, good girl.

Come on.

What do you got there?

Come on. Good girl.

Good girl.

Okay.

Sit.

For summer is gone and the days grow cold

Dancing and whirling the little leaves went

Winter had called them and they were content

Soon fast asleep in their earthy beds The snow

later covered it over their heads

Mm-mm.

You gonna say goodbye?

Sorry I didn't want to wake you.

I wanted to let you sleep.

Mm. Sleep.

Mm-hmm.

I had a great sleep.

Off you pop.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Doctor thinks my iron's a bit low.

Iron's a bit low? How do you feel? You feel alright?

You know what I don't understand?

Why do they call it morning sickness when it lasts all day long?

Well, you know what they say, sick of the mother, healthy of the baby.

Yeah. You know what else they say?

When it comes to pregnancy, men should...

Mind their bloody business.

Especially ex-husbands. Okay, all right. Look, I'm just trying to be positive,

Deb. You know, if you wanted to help, you could answer some of Phil's calls.

Sure, I have been busy with work.

He just wants to... He just wants to swing by and grab the rest of my things.

Yeah, well, that's not your stuff, Deb. That's our stuff.

Ian, I want my baby's stuff.

I know how you feel about this, okay?

I do. I... I'll settle for Max Scott.

It's been 11 years, Zan.

You need to let it go.

Okay, tell Bill he can come round tonight before 8, okay?

And you, eat some more steak.

Alright?

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

That was a six-month meeting, Ian. I know.

I'm sorry.

Where the fuck were you last night? I was just at home.

Bullshit.

No, it's not bullshit. I was at home.

Okay, well, let me smell your breath then. You don't want to do that. Let me

smell your breath.

I appreciate it. No, I want to smell your breath. I do.

I haven't brushed yet.

Yes, I can tell.

Okay.

Okay.

Congratulations.

Six months sober.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Morning.

Morning.

That was a crazy night. What a storm. Yes it was.

Sam's called in sick and Polly hasn't shown at all, which puts us two hands

down. Okay. Oh, I think Polly said something yesterday about being late. I

think it was a dentist appointment or something. So it's okay. I'll fill in on

the lines. You've got the quarterly report due.

It's okay. I can juggle.

I just think they're both taking the piss. Or juggle.

Okay. Thanks, Lydia.

Keep the door open.

You've called triple zero. Can I have your address and the nature of your

emergency?

I could just get your address.

Hello, can you hear me?

Yeah, is that you, Les?

Yes, Les. Hello, mate. It's Ian.

I'm well, Les.

Yes,

I do. All right.

Cheers, Les.

Whatever you think, you know.

Thank you.

Yes. No worries. Leave it with me.

Yep.

She's finally graced us. 20 minutes late.

Ah, yes. That was Les. Could you get Penny to call council when she's off a

call? Yep.

Thank you, Lydia.

Hey.

Hey.

Pretty late, Paul.

Sorry, boss.

Just I I just didn't get much shot. I lost night. So I Get that

um, I just just need you to do a bit better. Okay.

Yeah What I better do is take this call

You've called triple-zero, can I get your location in the nature?

You're gonna need to slow down I can't Just if

you can just give me a location.

Ma'am, you're on a mobile, so I need your location.

There's no AML. She must be on a mobile.

Hello? Hello?

Listen to me. Listen. What's your name? Can you tell me your name?

Tyra. Tyra Kennedy.

Okay, Tyra. Listen to me. He's going to hurt myself.

Okay, and I can fix that. Can you tell me your address, please, Tyra? I've done

it before. He's angry. Tyra.

25 Bonnets Road. Bonnets Road. That's Rosewood.

We're dispatching a car right now. You've done the right thing in calling,

all right?

Is there a room in the house that has a lock? Maybe a bathroom, Tyra?

Does the bathroom have a lock on it? Yes.

Okay, go to the bathroom now and lock the bathroom door, please.

The car is nearly there, okay? Do you know the assailant?

It's my ex-husband. Oh, my God. I think he's in the house.

Tyra, okay, just keep talking to me, okay? Keep your son with you. Lock the

door.

Tyra.

I think I can hear sirens.

Yes, that's right. Okay. I can hear police sirens.

Is your ex still there on the premises? Is he still outside?

Okay, that's great, Tyra. Okay, I need you to stay in the bathroom. Keep the

door locked until the police arrive, okay?

I'm handing you back to the operator, Tyra. You did great. Thank you so much.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry, baby.

Tyra, can I confirm that you're now safe and ask whether you require medical

attention? Yeah.

We're safe.

Good. Ask her if the kid's okay.

Is your child safe?

Yeah, yeah, he's safe.

Okay.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

Look at the call logs.

Fifth time he's done something like this.

One day it won't be her calling. It'll be whoever finds her.

Tyra, can I confirm that you can see the police?

Yeah. Can you see the lights?

I can see lights.

When they come up, I want you to unlock the door.

I got

another

one.

Yeah.

You want a lemon?

Lemon. Hold on, love.

How much is that?

No, don't worry about it.

Thanks, Mark.

Say hi to Angelo.

Yeah, I will.

See ya.

Good boy.

Come on, let's go to sleep.

Hey, Bill.

Hey. The cot.

Yeah, Deb said she spoke to you. You said tonight was a good night to come

round. I did.

Matt, I'm really sorry. I forgot that I put a bunch of stuff in storage last

year and the cot was one of those things.

OK, so... So, I'll dig it out and I'll bring it round to you guys Thursday.

Is that all right? Oh, OK.

Is it going to fit in the back of your car?

Yeah, it should. I'll figure it out.

She worries about you.

Yeah, I know.

I worry about her too.

Well, maybe when you come round you can maybe stay for dinner. That'd make her

happy.

Alright.

Sorry about the cut. No dramas.

No.

Are there any weapons?

Is anyone drug or alcohol affected?

Ian?

Yes. Polly's back from lunch, 45 minutes.

Okay, send her in.

Polly? Polly?

Am I in trouble, boss?

Close the door, please.

Hey, Paul.

Hi.

Look,

Paul.

What's been going on between us lately?

As your supervisor, I shouldn't be doing that.

Probably not.

Right. So, I just think...

that you and I, if we could, just get back on a professional footing.

It's just, Paul, simple as you need to be here when your shift starts.

Sometimes I screw up.

I thought you, of all people, would understand.

Just a minute.

Yes, sorry. I'm so sorry to interrupt.

Penny's just taken a call.

Human remains discovered up Durham away.

All right. Have you dispatched it? Portland's closer. They can attend.

Yes, I've dispatched it.

Okay. Yes, but...

The caller says that it looked like a very small child.

Were there any clothes found with it or personal items?

Mostly bones, they said. Like the body had been buried a long time.

I just thought, well, I thought that you'd want to know. You'd want to know.

What have you got? We've only been here about 20 minutes, mate, so not much.

But it is a small child.

That's what they're saying.

Yeah, clothes, shoes, dental.

Mate, even if I had those details, you know I couldn't give them to you.

Forensics are on their way, so... Hang on,

mate. What? What?

What?

Deb doesn't know yet, mate, so just please.

Ben, Ian Ridley's on his way down there to you, so just be ready.

Mate, there's no need for you to be here at the moment. We've just started. Is it

her? You really can't be here right now, OK? Ben, I'm not a civilian. You're not

going to treat me like a civilian.

Okay, so look, somebody's been here for a long time, okay?

So look, it's mostly skeletal, so we just, we can't say.

It's probably uncovered by this mudslide triggered by the rain.

Those three called it in.

They're just a couple of kids from Koroit. Okay, and is that the... Yeah.

All right.

Ben, Ben. I know, but... Ben, what's going on? Everything all right?

Ian Ridley, this is Detective Senior Sergeant Isabel Pena, the new head of

Port McKenna CIU.

So, yeah, I'd like to see the remains and any personal effects that were

found. Wait, hang on. Who are you?

Ian's the former head of Port McKenna CIU. You're police?

Well, ex-police.

Well, then I'm sorry I have to ask you to step off the crime scene right away.

Well, um... Maybe I can just, um... Detective Senior Sergeant, my daughter

went missing.

She was kidnapped 11 years ago, not so far from here.

Never seen again.

She was three years old.

I'm sorry.

If the body that you found matches her, I need to know it.

I just want to see her, please.

I saw the body.

Thanks.

Have you had a dog tamed out here already?

No, not yet.

You

sure,

mate? Yep.

We're estimating the child to have been about three or four. Our current guess

is they've been buried at least ten years.

Body's wrapped in what appears to be a bed sheet, otherwise seems to have been

naked. No personal effects recovered so far.

Okay. We got a lot of work to do, yeah, so I think it's better for everyone if

you just head home, let us get on with it. Ben will be in touch if there's any

news.

Okay.

Thank you.

Let's talk to us as well.

Hey there, you girls okay?

No, not really. No, I know this is awful.

I wonder if I just ask you a couple of questions.

I just want to figure out exactly what happened.

We already talked to the other police. I know, and I hate to make you do it over

and over again, but it's really important. Is that okay?

Just take a minute.

Yeah, it's fine. You were taking a walk and... I saw something white poking out

of the mud up there, so I went to have a look and then we saw the jaw.

Just to be clear, you found the body down there, but the jaw was separate.

Yeah, next to the cone.

And then I came back to Harper when she screamed.

Okay, and what's your name?

Chelsea. Chelsea, okay, thank you.

So, are you working a dog?

I don't have a dog. None of us have dogs. Right. See any dogs here at all?

There wasn't anyone here. Okay, thanks.

Do you have someone coming to collect your girls?

My mum.

Okay, thank you.

Hey.

Bill called.

He said you were at the scene.

Yeah.

And? I don't know.

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

Maybe. Jesus Christ.

Oh shit.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Hey.

Is it her?

Maybe. Yeah.

Let's get a bit of privacy, hey?

Let's get your stuff.

The body will be transported back to the coroner's court and they're going to try

and get a usable DNA sample and they're going to run some tests. What are they

saying about cause of death?

Oh, you know it's too soon for that, mate. They've got good ideas, don't

they? I mean, were there...

Signs of violence where they're broken by all the bosses said we're gonna wait

for an autopsy and then we're gonna run some tests So are you just sitting

around doing nothing? I mean, who is this pen you're anyway? I mean, it's a

child and they're sitting around doing no one's even sure that it's a murder

course It's a fucking murder victim bill that body was disturbed and more than

just by the landslide Okay, that means it's somebody was there on scene for

those kids. Why they're wasting time Just stop it

I know this is hard, but everyone's doing the best they can. Is this your

best, is it? Is this your best?

Well, that's a fucking relief.

So what happened?

Nothing.

I just thought... No. The police are doing tests.

They're running tests. So until that finishes, I can...

I don't know. I don't know, Lydia.

But I've got work to do.

To get on with it. I'm sure you do as well.

Okay. All right. Well, um, you just shout out if you need anything, okay?

Thanks.

with property, pal.

Yeah, g'day, mate. I'm, uh... Just heard you might be selling some dogs, is all.

But, um... It's all right if you've got the wrong idea. Help yourself.

It's OK.

Shut up!

Fuck, I'm out.

Yeah, no, no, no. All good, mate. Um, well... The pups are here, and... Unless

you're after a fully grown one.

Well, little ones are cuter, aren't they?

Must be a bit of a pain in the ass walking this lot, is it?

You know, there's more than one way to exercise them.

Is there?

Was that you yesterday morning in the forest back there exercising this lot,

was it?

You a cop?

Why?

Have you done something wrong?

I'm fucking with you, mate.

I'm fucking with you.

I just want to buy a dog.

That's all.

Yeah, well, you know what? I've changed my mind. I'm not selling any dogs today,

so why don't you do like you said and you can piss off. Don't, wait.

Hey, mate, don't go in there. Don't go in there, you peanut.

You'll get the dogs riled up, you fucking...

Where'd you get this?

These are my daughters. No, no, no. Where the fuck did you get this?

Do you take my daughter?

Did you murder my daughter? I've never fucking seen her. I swear to God.

Mate,

I don't know what you're talking about.

You're breaking my fucking heart.

Ian,

this is bad.

He had no probable cause. Yeah, Ben, yeah, it is bad. It is, because that...

Fucking cockroach killed my daughter, and he's been living how far? He says

you assaulted him.

You abducted him. You trespassed on his property. You're fucking talking about

he had Mags' pyjamas, the ones that she was wearing when she was taken.

Well, he says yesterday morning, one of his fences went down in a storm, and his

dogs escaped.

Now, later on, he found two of them digging in the mudslide, and one of the

dogs uncovered a body.

Okay, and he didn't report that. Mulligan breeds dogs for use in illegal

dog fights. He didn't want to get involved with the police.

No, okay, no.

Ian, he... Come on. Ian, mate, he... Fuck me.

Ian, he was doing time when Maggie was taken.

Six months for handling stolen goods. He's got an airtight alibi.

It wasn't him.

They're Mags' pyjamas, right? They are Mags' pyjamas. How are they at the farm?

The other dog ran off before Mulligan could collar it.

It had something in its mouth.

He says the animal came home by itself later that night, presumably brought

your daughter's pyjamas with it. Okay, if those pyjamas were buried for that

long, they would have disappeared. There'd be nothing left of them. We

found something at the burial site.

The pyjamas were wrapped in plastic, preserving them.

Ian, please don't touch the evidence.

You agree it matches what you found at Mulligan's farm?

Yeah. They were in this bag, buried near the body.

So... Now, Ian, we might not get the DNA results back for another 48 hours.

Given that...

Maggie's pyjamas were buried with the body.

I am so sorry.

Call yourself a father, you prick.

That's cool, huh?

Oh, we're all without you Without you, don't feel alive

Cause

when there's oceans between us Love, it won't come easy Getting rid of what we

know It's something to believe in There's cities beneath us Ones we fight

for

The captain forces the wars to jump ship in the sea and many lost their lives

before they made the hit limit

Hi, boss.

Hey.

Mind if I sit?

Yeah.

Look, I didn't know about your daughter.

I didn't know about your daughter. I'm really sorry. Oh, yeah, that's fine.

Lydia told me that it was this time of year that it happened.

We don't need to talk about it. Okay.

My ex-wife and I were dancing.

We came here to the show and we left.

Mag's at home with her older brother, half-brother, Dean, 16, who's 16 at the

time. And we thought she'd be fine.

And we got home and, yeah.

Yeah.

No.

The theory at the time was that it was someone from out of town and he came,

you know, in for the festival.

Opportunistic.

Someone took that opportunity.

It's fine. It's fine.

Anyway, I left it there. It's my responsibility.

That's what you get. It's my fault.

You didn't leave her there.

She wasn't alone. I'm a bad dad.

She was with your son. I did leave her there.

I did.

I'm her dad. Hey, why don't we just... Come on, let's go.

Let's just get out of here and we can do whatever we want.

Sorry, hang on.

Where's that fucker gone?

I know I've been a pain in the ass at work, but I just... Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait. Where's he gone?

Where the fuck?

Fuck him. Wait, Ian.

Wait, Ian.

Look,

look. You're going all right.

He's scared off. Come on.

Oh, buddy.

He's going all right.

Why not? Come on. Big boy's going all right, eh?

It's not too fast.

Don't give a bloody pussy.

Look, it doesn't look that bad, all right? We're having fun. And your mum's

going to keep her fucking mouth shut. Oh, I swear. Let go of him. Let go of

him. Let go of him.

Listen, let go of him.

Who the fuck do you think you are? Mate, you were hurting the boy.

You were hurting the boy. No, no, no, look at that. Oh, you're a big hero man,

are you? Yeah, I'm a big hero.

Well, guess what? That's my business, okay? Look after your own family.

Mike, it's my fucking business, yeah?

Here the Bible reminds us that even when we're at our lowest, help is there

because God's love is...

What

are you doing at my police station, little brother? Hey!

Ah, you're just collecting a friend.

Ah. Yeah.

You good?

Yeah.

Wasn't it Sarah's birthday, was it?

Yeah, we didn't see you.

Never got an invite.

Got someone to come in and pick you up?

Yeah.

Oh, it's your friend Ian Ridley.

Yeah, yeah, it is, yeah.

Why do you know him?

I just remember his name from when he used to work here. He used to work here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, we go swimming sometimes.

Yeah.

His daughter went missing.

It happened a long time before I got here, but anyway, they finally found the

body.

Anyway, poor fellas hit the rocks.

I better get some more cleaning equipment, start work.

Yeah, I'd like to see you.

You know, we're family, so I'd like to see more of you, mate, if that's... The

phone. Yeah. You take it easy. Stay out of trouble.

Mate, if this shitbox breaks down, I'm not pushing it.

You remember my story from AA, right?

Off my face, car accident.

Yeah, I know it.

Just after I got sober, a car really hit me what I'd done, you know?

I fucked up that woman's life.

And the only way I came back from that was committing to the process.

Finding a higher power.

And this is mine.

The ocean.

Doesn't work for me, okay?

Just doesn't.

Because what sort of God would allow... It doesn't have to be God. Whatever,

mate, whatever. God, ocean, I fucking get it.

But it doesn't change anything, does it?

Higher power or no higher power. It doesn't change anything.

It doesn't bring Maggie back to me.

My life's still in the shitter.

That's it.

Okay? So, I appreciate it, but... Listen to me.

Hurt people hurt people.

Do you understand?

Sometimes the people they love the most.

You can fuck up your life, mate. That's up to you.

But do you have the right to fuck up other people's lives?

I'll get it.

Hey. Hey. How are you? Come in. No, it's okay, mate. I've just brought the cot.

Oh, right. Yeah. You alright? Didn't fit in my car.

Well, come in and say g'day.

Your son's just arrived.

Just down in the kitchen.

Dina.

Dad. You're staying with Deb?

How's Mum?

Sense of love.

I didn't know you were in town.

Yeah.

I, um, I heard about the... And I thought I should be here.

You look good.

You look old.

Do you want a Coke or a water or something? No, no, I'm fine. Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

I just brought the car.

Sober?

Yes.

You got funeral services, is it?

Yeah.

Thought it was about time.

I was actually thinking I'd like to help with that.

Help with the planning, the arrangements.

I'd like to pay for it all.

If that's okay, because funerals are expensive.

Really?

Yeah, I'd... I'd like to move on, Deb.

For you and for me.

For everyone.

That would be really... That would be really great.

Speculation is mounting that the human remains discovered in the Mount LaRue

area on Tuesday may be the body of missing Port McKenna girl Margaret

Ridley, who was last seen 11 years ago asleep in her bed before disappearing in

what appeared to be a kidnapping.

Now with this discovery, police are hoping there might finally be some

answers and some closure for the Ridley family.

Hey. Hey.

I've got the paints, but I'm just going to hide them for now.

You look tired.

Yeah, long day.

Come on, come on.

Deep breath, deep breath.

Feel better?

Go and look at this.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

It's really forming up here, isn't it, with the green? It's all the detail.

I'm going to check on the animals.

Okay, possum.

What's that phone about?

Oh, like I said, just been a long day.

She was taken away from me.

She needed me.

She trusted me.

And I failed her. Maggie could still be alive?

I'm going to make it right. No, I'm just trying to get Maggie back. That's all

I'm trying to do. Did you see her?

I'm going to protect the family.

No matter what happens.

I'm not going anywhere until you tell me the truth.

What did you do?

She has been there for 11 years.

It's her, Deb. It is her.

Why would someone lie to me about something so important?
