He´ll kill me if I stay.

Who´s behind this scam?

MAXINE:
Darren bloody Faulkes.

-[ Coughs ]
-You all right?

Just a bit chesty.
Nothing contagious.

Now, there´s a real champion.

And she won it
in a race full of drug cheats.

Hinksman´s gone into Antonioni
and Sons.

BONNIE: Suspected links
to the Calabrian mafia.

Barrister, barrister...

Future Nobel laureate,
currently mother.

Why don´t you take
your clothes off?

We can have some fun, yeah?

There has to be something else,
yeah?

Something better than Flynn.

There´s not, but.

JANET:
Oliver just lived for cricket.

He went from the fresh-faced kid
we see there

to the brink
of the national team.

And now he´s dead.

Whenever Darren wants
real dirty work done

quickly and quietly,
Wes is his go-to guy.

Actually, fuck it.
I´ll tell them everything.

If you do that, mate...
we´re gonna kill your son.

-GILLIES: Bonnie?
-JANET: And Owen.

She said it was
"the piping-hot Mr. Mitchell."

BONNIE: Do you really think
Janet wants your job?

Oh, I-I know she does.

Maybe one of your contacts
has connections

to maybe
some international games?

That´d be helpful.

Simon, got a little update
on that situation.

I´ve got quite a lot going on
at the moment.

Well, why don´t you deal
with all of that first,

and then we can talk about us.

-Good idea?
-Yeah, good idea.

-DARREN: How´d you go?
-Yeah. Just what we thought.

A shame, though.
I liked him.

Still, we can´t take chances,
can we?

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Wheezes, coughs ]

I hope they didn´t destroy
the joint.

[ Laughs ]
They were great.

[ Coughs ]

Emma, Liam, your mum´s here.

Are you okay?

I thought you said
you just had a cold.

It is just a cold.

I´m fine.
It´s nothing serious.

You didn´t need the twins here
when you were this sick.

-I´m fine.
-Really?

´Cause it sounds much worse.
Do you need to see a doctor?

I-I can look after Tom.
It´s not a problem.

His dad´s coming to pick him up
later on.

-I´ll go to the clinic then.
-All right.

[ Coughs ]
Here they are.

-Hello!
-Mummy. Hi.

What do we say?

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-See you, Tom. Thanks.
-Bye, Tom.

-EMMA: Bye, Tom.
-[ Coughing ]

How was Tom´s mum last night?

-She didn´t do much.
-She just sat on the couch.

-Okay. I need to get this.
-[ Cellphone ringing ]

-I´ll meet you at the car.
-Okay.

Bonnie.

A body´s turned up in a toilet.

Who is it?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Ah. It looks like an OD, but...

BIANCA: Where´s the tourniquet?
Where´s the cook gear?

Where´s any evidence
he was an IV drug user?

Exactly.

BIANCA: Can we make sure
his hands are bagged?

ANDY: Flynn was Wes´s target,
not Richard.

We don´t know that for sure.

Flaky, scared, and talk?

Darren´s not gonna take
that risk.

And if I hadn´t have lost Wes,
none of this would´ve happened.

Flynn Pearce has been murdered?

JANET:
Well, it looks that way.

Did Darren say anything?
Give any indication?

Nothing.
No.

What, so I´m...safe?

Well, you´d know better than me.
You´re closer to him.

Janet, do you think
we´re nearly...done?

We still need to find out

what Faulkes´ next big
betting scam is --

how he moves his money into the
country, how he´s laundering it.

It´s just that I-I don´t think
I´m really achieving much.

You know, I´d rather be drinking
margaritas in the Maldives

with Maxine.

What?

Look, you´re in with Faulkes
now, and that´s invaluable.

We´re relying on you, Richard.

[ Door closes,
footsteps approaching ]

-So...
-Uh, Darren. Hi.

...this is where
all the dirty deals are done.

Funny. I pictured you more of a,
uh, penthouse-office type.

Um, chambers.

Lawyers´ offices
are called chambers.

[ Chuckles ]
So is the dunny.

You ever heard of a tennis
player called Glen Farmer?

No.
Should I have?

Not unless you´re interested
in players outside the top 250.

Been on the circuit
a couple of years,

but he is not without potential.

You a betting man, Rich?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

JANET:
Glen Farmer.

Surveillance followed Darren to
Richard´s chambers this morning,

where he anointed this young man
his next Oliver Pittman.

So Farmer´s playing
in the first round

of the Western Sydney Open
in a few days.

His opponent´s
much lower ranked than him,

so the betting agencies

are expecting Farmer to win
hands down.

Which makes betting on the other
player a very attractive option.

If you can guarantee the result.

So Richard says the plan is that
Farmer blitzes the first set

so the odds on the other guy
rise.

They pile on the bets.
Farmer loses the second 6-love.

Bookies pay out millions.

Darren´s asked Richard to open
an online account?

And given him $15,000
to bet on Farmer´s opponent.

GILLIES: Richard gets a cut
for his troubles.

JANET:
Darren promised him $30,000.

Thirty grand?
Let´s get on that.

JANET:
As we know,

Darren´s been opening
online accounts for weeks.

So he´s got at least 100 set up,
ready to go.

To make serious money
on this scam,

he´s going to be paying
thousands out of each.

We´re talking hundreds
of thousands.

He hasn´t got any money
in the St. Peters warehouse.

That´s been empty

since Richard took
what was there to RepExchange.

Yeah, but where
did RepExchange send

that million-plus dirty dollars?

Züricher Finanzen.

A private Swiss bank.

So if Darren dips into his pot
of unwashed cash in Switzerland,

we can track it back
to Australia,

proving he´s laundering it.

And proof of international
money laundering

gives us leverage with the UN
Office of Transnational Crime

to pressure the Swiss
to open the Zurich account.

Are we certain that Darren´s own
choice of funds for this scam

is his Zurich account?

Well, no.

According to customs, his latest
shipment of MDMA precursors

have just hit the docks.

We have to make sure
he doesn´t get that earn.

Take the buyers
out of the picture

before he gets that payday.

Has Richard confirmed Farmer
has agreed to throw the set?

Not yet, but Shannon Hinksman´s
making the approach

at training today.

I´ll get eyes
on the Hinksman meeting.

Andy, you´ll need to tee up
busting the Antonionis

-with the drug squad.
-I´m on it.

LINA:
What? You have to work tonight?

Well, the op involves
an NCC target.

-I have to be there.
-But the bar exam´s coming up.

If I don´t blitz it, Owen will
never let me hear the end of it.

You have been studying nonstop.

Yeah, but you promised --
dinner, bath, and bedtime.

I´m sorry, but I can´t postpone
the raid, you know?

I-It´s gonna happen now.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

Plus I have to get ready
for court tomorrow.

Campbell.

Yeah.
I´ll be there in 20.

Well, hopefully Amal will, uh,
make bedtime a breeze

and sleep like a baby.

She already does sleep
like a baby.

She wakes up crying
every two hours.

[ Vehicles passing, horn honks ]

PEARL: What´s so important you
couldn´t tell me over the phone?

Sit down, Pearl.

Flynn Pearce was found dead
this morning.

It´s really Flynn?
They´re sure?

Yeah.

I don´t know why I´m upset.

You know, he -- he used me, but
he sort of helped me as well.

It wasn´t all bad.

Few people are.

You´d know all about that,
wouldn´t you?

Um, Pearl...what are your plans?

I´ll be 16
in a couple of months.

Get my own place.
Dole or something. I don´t know.

What about something better
than that?

What about going back to school?

[ Laughs ]
School´s bullshit.

No.
I sucked at it anyway.

Ah, there must have been
something you were good at.

Yeah, I was okay at sport.

Didn´t mind soccer.

I think you were pretty good
at soccer.

I´ve seen all those trophies.

Did you know there are schools
that specialize just in sport?

I looked into some,
and I-I found one.

And I think...
I think it really suits you.

PEARL:
Australian Youth Pathways.

Get assistance for training,
living expenses.

PEARL:
Yeah.

Sure.

Why not?
[ Clears throat ]

Fill it in.
Knock yourself out.

This one -- It´s down to you.
You need to want this.

You need to want to do something
with your life.

And I´ll -- I´ll help you.
I´ll help you in any way I can.

But only if you take
responsibility for your life.

And only if you ask.

I´ll have someone show you out.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hinksman´s just arrived.

[ Shutter clicking ]

[ Beeping ]

Be much easier if we´d had time
to get a wire on this.

Come on.

Something´s up.

I don´t think Farmer´s
buying it.

Shit.

Without Farmer,
we don´t get Darren.

So, any bright ideas?

You want me to offer to bribe
Glen Farmer?

We have to force Darren

to withdraw his money
from Switzerland.

And he won´t
unless his betting fix is in.

He´s gonna smell a rat if I
suddenly start pushing on this.

-You said he´s trusting you.
-Yeah, for now.

But spook him, and that trust
becomes extremely conditional

or nonexistent.

As Clay found -- and Flynn.

He has no reason to suspect you,
all right?

Our meetings have been discreet.

There´s no evidence
that you´re being watched.

What about this Farmer kid?

It doesn´t feel right
to ask him to cheat.

He has to agree to throw
the set.

Darren won´t move his money
otherwise.

And what about the risks
he´s exposed,

like Oliver was with that wide?

That´s a stain he´ll carry
forever.

Tennis career kaput.

If we stay in front,
we can prove the money trail,

arrest Darren
before anyone serves a ball.

Yeah, and if we don´t,
all that´s been achieved

is I´ve helped Darren create
another Oliver.

The only way to stop him
is to get his money moving.

Oh, okay.

Okay.
Just this one time, I suppose.

I mean, we can explain
the risks to --

No.
We can´t tell him anything.

What?

Well, if for some reason
Darren doesn´t move his money

for this tennis match,
we need him to use Glen again.

Making us as guilty
of using Glen as Darren.

Look, I understand your concern
for Glen.

But there´s no alternative

to getting this betting scam
in place.

If we don´t, Darren will
just find another Glen,

another Oliver.

He´ll keep spreading corruption
and ruining lives.

All right. I don´t need
a closing argument, Janet.

I get what´s at stake.

[ Birds chirping ]

DARREN:
Fuck!

Hey, Darren.

What, you just letting yourself
in, are you?

If it´s not a good time...

Ah, no.
No.

What´s up?

I thought I´d see how that
hot tennis tip was looking.

Seems some people don´t know
a bloody gift horse

when it opens up its cake hole
and smiles at ´em.

Doesn´t help
that Shannon´s a moron.

So it´s...not a goer?

What, have you spent your money
already?

I have lost a couple of clients
recently,

and rent on the chambers
is pretty fierce, so...

It´s really not gonna fly?

Seems the kid doesn´t know
what´s good for him.

I could have a word if you like.

With Farmer.

You?

Why?

Well, like I said,
I could use the money.

No. Why do you think you´ll
succeed when old nobhead didn´t?

I would make the argument.

Okay.

Make away.

I´d say...

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I´d say I know how hard
it must be for Glen,

being just outside
the elite level of players,

trying to break in.

I´d say that I understand

that even though he´s worked
his guts out,

been on court practically
every day since he was a kid,

hit a million tennis balls,

he´s still barely earning
enough money

to pay for a full-time coach.

I´d say that I understand
the sacrifices he´s made

and his family has made
to get him where he is.

All the lucky breaks
that others have got, he hasn´t.

I´d say that I know

how little government support
athletes at his level get.

There´s barely any sponsorship.

There´s no parties,
no paparazzi.

It´s just every cent he makes

going on trying to stay
competitive.

I´d say that what he´s being
asked to do isn´t cheating.

He´s not doping.
He´s not nobbling his opponent.

He´s not even throwing a match.

He would be losing
one single set of tennis

in a career that has seen him
win and lose a thousand sets,

a career in which he´ll win
and lose a thousand more.

But for dropping that single set
of tennis,

he could earn some of the money
for 20 years of hard work.

Money that could --
who knows? --

help him crack the top 100.

[ Music continues ]

Shit.

I reckon you could convince me
the sun sets in the bloody east

and that my dear old dead granny
used to be the prime minister.

Holy shit, mate.
That´s good.

ANDY:
Janet?

State drug squad´s teed up
to raid the Antonionis´ tonight,

before Darren can sell them
his next lot of precursors.

It´s really important this bust
isn´t connected back to Darren.

We want him cornered
but not paranoid.

Target property
is the Antonionis´ meth lab

out in the sticks.

It´s miles from the warehouse.
Nothing to spook him.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Campbell.

-Hi, Terry.
-[ Door closes ]

My father´s fraud case
was thrown out

at committal this morning.

That´s good.

Well, it´ll be the last
I see him

for another five years, but...

Anyway, it means you can --
you can come over again

without worrying about all this.

Tonight?

I don´t know.

ANDY: Preliminary investigation
on Flynn Pearce is back.

No CCTV footage
around the toilet block.

No fingerprints on the syringe
of heroin.

No dropped hairs.
No clothing fibers.

But there was some remnant DNA.

A couple of foreign skin cells

under one of Flynn´s
fingernails.

You here to inspect
my taillight again, Detective?

I couldn´t give a fuck
about your taillight, you grub.

I´m here to arrest you
for murder.

[ Handcuffs clicking ]

[ Indistinct conversations,
telephone ringing ]

He´s back to Mr. Strong
and Silent.

Forensics is a match.

There´s enough to charge him
with murder

and get him convicted.

He´s not gonna say anything
that incriminates Darren.

He´s not gonna say anything
about anything.

It´s annoying,
but it´s not critical.

The important thing is
he´s off the street.

Well, I´ve got to make
arrangements for that raid.

Good luck.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Knock on door ]

-[ Wheezing ]
-Zoe, hi.

Sorry for just turning up, but I
think Liam left his hat here.

-Oh.
-His school hat.

-Oh, great.
-It´s in the lounge.

Fantastic.

How are you feeling?

Yeah.
Better, thanks.

What did the doctors say?

The hat´s just there.

[ Coughs ]

Did they figure out what it is?

[ Clears throat ]
I´m fine.

[ Coughs ]

You did go to a doctor?

Tom´s always forgetting
his things too.

Zoe, you did see someone?

[ Coughs ]

Yeah.

If you can just...pull the door
on the way out, please.

Sure.

[ Door opens ]

JANET: Oh. Hey, Bonnie.
Are you still in the office?

Yes, though for the record,

I do have a life
outside of this place.

There´s a particular
LD recording I need.

Can you load it onto my computer
so I can access it from home?

It´s from a few weeks back,
when, um, Zoe DiCosta was...

Oh.
Um...

Hey.

Uh, can I call you back?

Thanks.

I didn´t call.
I hope that´s okay.

Oh, don´t be silly.

[ Door closes ]

Where are the kids?

Oh, they´re splashing
all the water out of the bath

onto the floor
the last I looked.

Here.

Oh.
Thank you.

Want some now?

Yes, please.

Actually I´m, um,
I´m glad you´re here.

Uh, there´s something important
I wanted to ask you.

Okay.

Have you ever heard rumors
that Zoe DiCosta used PEDs?

[ Wine pouring ]

Um...there were whispers.

And, uh, she was competing
at a time

when a lot of athletes
were using.

Right.
So nothing concrete?

Well, her times did improve
a lot.

And, um, yeah,

she recovered from some injuries
pretty quickly.

I´m sorry.

I can´t do this.

What?

I´ll, uh,
I´ll see you at the office.

Bianca.

Bianca.

You know, I came here hoping

that you wanted to talk
about us.

Now I just feel like
this needy person

who´s asking too much of you,

expecting too much,
being demanding.

And I´m beginning to feel
like I am that person.

But I don´t think I am.

You are just always gonna have
a cause

that you´re passionate about

or there´s someone
that you´re fighting for --

you know, a Pearl or a Zoe.

And I don´t want to
have to feel bad

about wanting to come first
with the person I love.

I know you won´t change.

I don´t want you to change.

But I can´t keep up with you
either.

I don´t -- I don´t want to
have to keep up with you.

I´m so sorry.

I´ll see you.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sniffles ]
All right, kids.

It´s time to --

You´ve got to get out
of the bath now.

[ Music continues ]

[ Keys clicking ]

ZOE:
She tore her quad last week.

-EDDIE: Medialis?
-ZOE: Femoris. Grade two.

-EDDIE: Ah. When are the Worlds?
-ZOE: Six weeks.

But if she takes three
or four weeks off to recover,

her power will drop.

And even down four
or five watts, that´s...

EDDIE:
Mm. First to third.

ZOE: Then we heard about you,
the miracle man.

-She´ll take anything, Eddie.
-[ Computer beeps ]

Please.

She´s given up her life
for this.

You know what athletes are like.

-[ Key clicks ]
-She´ll take anything.

[ Computer beeps ]

She´s given up her life
for this.

[ Computer beeps ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Knock, door opens]

[ Coughing, wheezing ]

Hey.
What´s up?

[ Coughs, exhales deeply ]

Okay.

Listen, why won´t you test
for your condition?

I have a cold.

Breathlessness, dizziness,
coughing.

Yeah, that could be bronchitis
or pneumonia,

something treatable, or...

Is it something else?

Because all of these symptoms

can be because
of an enlarged heart,

which can be brought on by...

[ Coughs ]

[ Coughs, wheezes ]

Did you ever take anything
that could have done that?

-You´re not just an athlete.
-[ Coughing ]

You´re a mother.

You have to seek medical help --
for Tom´s sake.

I know that that means
that the truth will come out,

but...your life is so much more
important than your reputation.

Please.

[ Wheezes, coughs ]

I won.

[ Coughs, wheezes ]

Go.

Just go!

[ Coughing ]

[ Golf club thuds ]

[ Birds chirping ]

It´s Wes.

They got him.

Shit.

[ Golf club thuds ]

Hey, Richie.

You´re a natural.
You know that?

-Really?
-Yeah.

Pretty sure my swing´s
a bit off.

[ Chuckles ]
No. Not at golf, mate.

No, at golf
you suck dog´s balls.

But this.

You get things done.

Remember we talked about
getting you some work?

Well, I got something for you.
Something good.

So Darren asked me to represent
Wes Foster.

What did you say?

What could I say?
Yes.

Okay.
Just don´t do too good a job.

-I´m sorry.
-Well, we need Wes in remand.

Can´t have you getting him out
on bail

or finding grounds
for false arrest or something.

Although...

...it would help if you --
you got him to roll on Darren.

You know as well as I do that
Foster´s best course of action

is exercising his right
to silence.

Well, it´s a course.

The reference needs
what he´s got on Faulkes,

so you should advise him
to cooperate.

Right.

So as well as being a corrupter
of young sportsmen,

I now can´t do my job properly.

Don´t be so melodramatic,
Richard.

First principle -- The judicial
system should be independent,

impartial, open,
and transparent.

You´re asking me to be
the exact opposite.

This could jeopardize
my right to practice law.

If it ever does become a problem
with the bar association,

the NCC will provide a letter
of explanation and back you up.

You agreed to be part
of an operation

trying to bring a major criminal
to justice.

So it´s a bit late
for you to complain

that aspects of your role offend
your moral code.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Keys jingling, door opens ]

Mr. Foster.

-Richard Stirling.
-[ Door closes ]

Um, I´ve had a look
at the police brief.

The DNA evidence

placing you at the scene
of Flynn Pearce´s murder

is quite...quite strong.

Um, while it may be possible
to challenge that in court,

it is my strong belief

that achieving an acquittal
for murder is unlikely

and that you are facing
a lengthy prison term.

There is, however, another
approach to your, um, situation.

If you were to confess to any
other currently unsolved crimes

that you may have been
involved in...

...assist various authorities
with any ongoing investigations,

then that cooperation
would be...

is -- is likely to be taken into
account in sentencing.

Darren never told you
to say that.

No.

No, he didn´t.

He wanted me to tell you to
sit tight and refuse any deal,

which you could also choose
to do.

MAN:
Oi!

Yeah.
We´re done in here.

[ Keys jingling, door opens ]

[ Door closes, latch clicks ]

Oh.

[ Laughs ]

I was just...
I was just coming to see you.

-[ Clears throat ]
-Um...

Uh, I´ve...

I´ve -- I´ve thought about
what you said,

and I think --
I think you´re right.

You know,
we should talk through this.

So I´m ready.

Now.
Um...to talk.

You´re ready now.

I´ve been wanting to talk to you
since you got back from Fiji.

-Bianca, it´s --
-No, Janet.

It´s too late.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Indistinct conversations,
telephone ringing ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Whirring ]

The worst droughts on record.

Is he sure?

Police seized more than half a
ton of the drug MDMA last night

worth $75 million.

Several people were arrested

in a raid
on a property in Ingleburn.

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck!

Fuck!

And fuck you too!

He goes on
with a few more choice phrases.

Nothing incriminating,
but he´s not happy.

Having half a million bucks´
worth

of precursors you can´t sell
does that to some people.

So Darren´s only choice
for betting now

is to transfer his dirty money
from Switzerland

back to Australia.

We´ve got it all in place.

[ Door opens ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

DARREN:
How many lawyers...

Jesus.

How many lawyers does it take
to screw in a light bulb?

-Darren.
-None.

They only screw you.

W-What are you doing here?

I asked you to look after
my mate,

and now I hear that you´re
trying to get him to cut deals.

[ Chuckles ]

Wait.
This is about Wes Foster?

Your job was to make sure
he kept his mouth shut.

You asked me to look after him.

Now, one of his options
is to refuse to cooperate,

but that´ll see him jailed
for a very long time.

Another option is to plead
not guilty to murder.

But look.
The DNA evidence is very strong.

The third option
is that he pleads guilty,

but then he gets a reduction
in his sentence

by giving police information
on other...

unsolved matters, you know?

Matters which, of course,

have nothing to do with anyone
in this room, okay?

I know what you´re doing,
Richard.

It´s just basic defense advice.

You´re planning on stringing
this out, aren´t you?

Hmm?
Over months, years.

Having me pay
your exorbitant fees.

Bleeding me dry while you
get rich as clotted cream.

You try and put one over me
again...

...well, I´ll just rip
that forked tongue of yours

right out of your throat.

Okay?

Yeah.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Door closes,
footsteps approaching ]

Darren knows I told Wes
to do a deal.

How?

I don´t know.

He just knows.

I´m not sure how much longer
I can do this, Janet.

It won´t be long before he finds
out I´m working for the NCC.

And I can´t get

that poor kid Glen Farmer´s face
out of my head.

I keep seeing his face as I
fed him all that fucking spin.

Okay.
Tennis match is this afternoon.

Farmer will throw the set.
We´re about to close on Darren.

Why don´t you go away
for a few days?

What?
Go where?

I don´t know.

The south coast.

You can´t just disappear.

You´ll need to leave
some kind of plausible reason.

We can´t have Darren spooked.

[ Bell chimes, doors open ]

BONNIE:
Janet.

Darren´s local account
has just registered a deposit

of $1.5 million.

Oh, that´s great.

But it didn´t come
from Züricher Finanzen.

It´s a credit transfer
from a bank in Paris.

Paris?

Faulkes Concrete and Co.
accepted a deposit

of just over 1,045,999 euros
from Pierrot Beton.

Going off the documentation,
it´s a loan.

A loan?

Who´s Pierrot Beton?

Construction company,
by the sounds of things.

But whoever they are,

looks like Darren´s not using
his Swiss money

but a perfectly legitimate
tranche.

The expression "ba-bow"
springs to mind.

I want all of Faulkes´ financial
and business records on my desk.

His business is legit.
All declared. Nothing illegal.

Just do it.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Vehicles passing ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Music continues ]

Pierrot Beton isn´t
the first international loan

that Faulkes has got.

Six months ago,
he borrowed $1.2 million

from a construction company
in Belgium --

Hayes Constructees.

A few months before that,

$850,000 from a company
in the Netherlands,

and a year earlier,

$3 million from a building
company in Bourdeaux.

Yeah.
I checked them all.

They were all real loans,
paperwork legit on both sides.

JANET:
Paperwork is legit,

but the companies are
all shelf companies.

They´ve never traded
in anything.

Each one was set up

a few weeks before the loan
to Darren was arranged

and shut down a few weeks after
the money landed in Australia.

So we need to check
Züricher Finanzen account

for overnight transfers --
transfers to accounts in Europe.

[ Computer beeping ]

Nearly 1.6 million Swiss francs
were transferred

from the Züricher Finanzen
account to an account in Paris.

Pierrot Beton.

And 1.6 million Swiss francs
is about 1.045 million euros,

which is about $1.5 million
Australian.

BIANCA: So Darren sends
dirty money to Switzerland

via RepExchange,

then he transfers it to shelf
companies in Belgium or France,

then he loans it back to himself
in Australia.

Paying no tax

and laundering it nice and clean
and ready to spend.

GILLIES: You´ve closed the loop.
Impressive.

We just need confirmation

of how much Darren´s got
in that Swiss account.

Then we can slap charges

of defrauding the Commonwealth
on him.

Evidence of international
money laundering

means the UN Office
of Transnational Crime

can pressure the Swiss
to unlock the vault.

I´ll get the attorney general
to rubber-stamp the request.

Great. Then if the UN
can act fast, we can actually --

Oh. Sorry.

Um, I´ll be back in a minute.

BONNIE:
Hey.

I can´t make lunch.

Did you get a better offer?

No. Um, things are just really
hotting up here right now.

Need to be sure I´m in
for the kill, you know?

Rain check?

Sure.
Okay.

Bye.

I had a look at the, um,
school scholarship sport thing.

Yeah?
What did you think?

Could be okay, I suppose.

Yeah.
[ Chuckles ]

Looks pretty cool, actually.

Application form
is fucking stupid, though.

It´s like, CV, personal goals,
academic goals,

300 words
on my social-inclusion plan.

I...

I-I was wondering if you could
give me a hand filling it in.

I would love to.

Hey.

We´re on.

Yeah.

-PEARL: Thanks, Janet.
-ANDY: Janet.

-PEARL: See you tonight, yeah?
-JANET: Sure.

-Look forward to it.
-Thanks.

See ya.

Tony just worked
his international legal magic.

Guess how much Darren has
in his Zurich account.

$370 million Australian.

$370 million?

I´ve sent someone
to warn off Glen Farmer.

-Let´s get Darren.
-I´m coming too.

-You know that´s not procedure.
-I won´t get in the way.

I just...need to see his face.

MAN:
Police! Search warrant!

[ Sirens wailing,
indistinct shouting ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Put the phone down!

We´re looking for laptops,
tablets, phones!

Fuck.

What have we got?

Shit.

[ Music continues ]

-Janet.
-JANET: Where are you?

Uh, I´m at the chambers,
just finishing up.

You need to get out.

Darren knows you´re working
for us.

How?

He´s seen photos
of us together, okay?

So what I need you to do --
I need you to get out.

Okay.

G´day, Richie.

[ Engine starts ]

We´ve got to go
to Richard´s chambers.

[ Siren wailing ]

All available units
to 40 Grant Street, Pyrmont.

Suspect drives
a red Mitsubishi SUV.

Repeat -- All units
to 40 Grant Street, Pyrmont.

They´re on the way.

[ Siren wailing ]

So you´re a churchgoer, Rich?

Constant bloody surprise,
aren´t you?

Hey, we could have stayed inside
if you just wanted to talk.

Oh, no.
I like the wide-open spaces.

Especially...for a private chat.

[ Glass shatters ]

[ Grunts ]

I-I don´t understand
what´s going on.

Really?
Smart man like you?

W-What is it that you think
that I´ve done?

You´re a dog, Richard.

And you´ve been dogging me to
the National Crime Commission,

and I´m very displeased
about it.

[ Grunts ]

Very upset.

Angry, even.

[ Sirens wailing ]

Jesus.

-Out of the vehicle! Come on!
-Hands up!

You´re kidding.

Get out slowly!

Shut it down!
Now!

-Out of the vehicle! Come on!
-Hands up!

Slowly!

Out of the vehicle!

[ Tires screeching,
siren wailing ]

Hands away.

Darren Faulkes, you are being
detained for questioning

by the NCC.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.
Mm.

-Mm-hmm.
-BIANCA: Search him.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Come on.

Come on.

[ Indistinct talking on radio ]

GILLIES: This examination
of Mr. Darren Peter Faulkes

is commencing at 3:30 p.m.

Present are the witness,
Darren Faulkes,

Chief Investigator
Inspector Bianca Grieve,

Senior Counsel Janet King,

and myself,
Chief Examiner Tony Gillies.

JANET: Mr. Faulkes, when you
last came into the NCC,

you made an observation.

You said it was Oliver Pittman

who started this
crime commission reference.

And you know what?
You were right.

Our investigation did start
with that one wide,

and then it just got wider
and -- and wider.

We´ve uncovered
salary-cap rorts,

doping of athletes,
illegal drug importation,

match fixing, threats to kill.

Suicide.
Murder.

GILLIES: Someone´s made
a very large fortune

through corruption in sport.

A very large fortune on which
they haven´t paid any tax.

JANET: Are you perceptive enough
to -- I don´t know --

take a stab at
who that person is, Mr. Faulkes?

I´m afraid not.

Did you arrange a major betting
plunge on Oliver Pittman´s wide,

an incident that led to him
taking his own life?

No.

Did you influence the Northern
Devils football club management,

encouraging them to give players
a performance-enhancing drug,

a drug not cleared
for human consumption,

a drug that killed Tyler Perati?

Did you arrange salary-cap rorts
for the Devils?

Did you import trafficable
amounts of precursor chemicals

in order to pay
for these activities?

I have no idea
what you´re talking about.

Did you arrange a betting plunge
on Glen Farmer´s tennis match

at the Western Sydney Open?

Who?

Where were you taking
Richard Stirling?

Richie?

For a coffee.

I urge you to take our questions
very seriously, Mr. Faulkes.

Don´t quote the Crimes Act
at me, mate.

-I´ll win every time.
-What the hell is going on?

Apologies for barging
into your fiefdom, Mr. Examiner,

but you´ll have to stand
that witness down.

-What?
-And this hearing needs to stop.

The state DPP
has no jurisdiction

over the National Crime
Commission.

But we do.

Agent Simon Nixon,

Australian Secret Intelligence
Organisation.

ASIO?

NIXON:
Mr. Faulkes is very important

to an ongoing operation
ASIO is running.

Yes. Well, he´s also
very important to the NCC.

We´ve spent months
getting to the point

where we can present charges
on a number of serious offenses.

Mr. Faulkes will not be charged
with any offense.

BIANCA:
He´s an out-and-out crook.

He´s involved
in MDMA production --

Nor can he suffer
any form of public disgrace.

He´s the head of an extensive
criminal network.

He´s defrauded the Commonwealth
up to his eyeballs.

He must continue running
his construction business,

reputation untarnished.

Darren Faulkes
threatens children.

He has people murdered.

No brief naming him in any
murder has come across my desk.

Mr. Faulkes is critical
to an ongoing ASIO operation.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.
You´ve said all that.

But what you haven´t done
is explain what he´s doing

that´s so bloody important.

He has contacts
in various foreign countries,

contacts through
his construction business --

And through
his sports-betting scams.

-We know this.
-Some of those contacts

also fund terrorist recruiters

who are targeting young men
here in Australia,

radicalizing them
for homegrown acts of terror.

Now...

...we need Faulkes to maintain
his current position

so that when they change
their phone and e-mail accounts,

they tell him and we track them
here in Australia.

And what´s your role
in all this?

The DPP has been trying to run
several terrorism prosecutions.

Mr. Mitchell has been helpful
in connecting the dots.

I can just imagine.

Look, I know
that this change in emphasis

is disappointing for the NCC.

GILLIES: Oh, it´s not
just disappointing to us.

The ATO will be spitting chips.

You´ve robbed them of a payday.

Oh, you can still claim unpaid
taxes and proceeds of crime.

ASIO cannot have Faulkes
locked up.

But we don´t mind
if his wings are clipped.

Might even help us a little.

What about his betting scams?

NIXON: He won´t make a profit
from those anymore.

We´ll let him run them,
but only to, uh, keep the con.

Keep the con?

Darren Faulkes is a danger
to society,

and he should be locked up
for a very long time.

On the contrary.

He´s important to keeping
the country safe.

And national security outranks
organized crime.

Sorry, Janet.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I wish a bus would come along
right about...now.

[ Music continues ]

He´s a bastard.

GILLIES: Like Owen said,
terrorism trumps everything.

Oh, well.
We got the money.

That´s something at least.

Darren Faulkes,
helping to keep the nation safe.

What a joke.

I´m done here.

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

I´ve been worried

I might have inadvertently
compromised the reference.

Sleeping with Owen Mitchell
didn´t help.

You knew?

I thought I was so clever.

That if anyone was being played
in the relationship,

it wasn´t me.

I was wrong.

[ Music continues ]

[ Engine revs ]

W-Wait a minute.

The trial date´s
been brought forward to when?

No.
I-It can´t be.

That -- That week is impossible
for me.

I can´t even...

[ Sighs ]

Yeah. All right.
All right.

Um, I´ll see what I can do,

but I-I can´t --
I can´t make any...

[ Sighs ]

Oh, shit.

[ Baby crying ]

ANDY:
Mummy´s looking really tired.

Oh.
Hello there.

I thought Amal should see
the important place Mummy works.

Oh, I´ve got a trial now
that clashes with the bar exam,

which is the same week
as her birthday.

What am I doing, Andy?

You are gonna come home with us
for some takeaway Thai,

and tonight you are free
to be on the books.

Another night not being spent
with this one.

And I-I don´t have time
to prepare for a case

that I´d otherwise win.

And you are great at all that.

Why isn´t that enough?

Why do I keep beating myself up

trying to prove to the Janets
and the Owens of the world

that I can keep up with them?

You don´t need to prove anything
to them.

No, I don´t.

The bar exam can just wait.

I thought you really wanted
to be a barrister.

Yeah, but I don´t have to do it
right now.

I can go it when I´m ready --
really, really ready.

Right now, I -- Right now
I-I just want to go home

and eat some takeaway Thai food.

[ Baby fussing ]

[ Knock on door ]

Yeah.

[ Indistinct conversations,
telephone ringing ]

Janet.

Social media are already
speculating

why a fit 44-year-old woman
would die of heart failure.

And it´ll...
it´ll just stay speculation now.

Zoe´s...

Zoe´s beaten that one.

You did try.

And failed.

No success without failure.

No.

And as we´ve seen, winning comes
in all shapes and sizes.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

As does loss.

[ Paper shuffling ]

Thanks.

OWEN: Wes Foster brief
hit my desk the other day.

It´s been updated.

Gave a very full statement

about all the crimes
Darren got him to commit.

Arson, standover,
drug running, fraud,

threats to kill, murder.

All the details -- dates, times,
what Faulkes paid him.

Wait.

JANET:
Perhaps Wes wanted to do his bit

to keep the country safe.

Janet, ASIO are not gonna change
their minds.

Faulkes is too important
to them.

And even with a statement
like this,

it´s not like they´re gonna
suddenly lock him up.

JANET:
Not suddenly, no.

But Darren´s on borrowed time.

Sooner or later,
he won´t be useful.

His cover will be blown.
Targets will move on.

And once ASIO doesn´t need him,

all the protections they´ve put
in place will evaporate.

Like sweat in the sun.

I will lock him up.

Didn´t get your front page,
though, did you?

And I´ve just been offered
the new three-year contract

as the head of the DPP.

And the winner is...ba-bow.

Owen, to beat someone,

you have to be both playing
the same game.

Some of us play short and fast.

Others...
take the longer approach.

See you later, Mr. Piping Hot.
