It's a matter of national
security that we contain this situation.

- I'm sure you understand.
- Yes, Minister.

I need to get out. Let me out of here!

What happened in Davoren Park
is a tragedy

and now a 16-year-old boy,
Robbie Lambert, is an orphan.

Robbie! Robbie! Robbie!

We'll find out what's going on.

Where's Markson?

Corporal Markson was captured.

I want a briefing after they land.
Have the Pakistani ambassador standing by.

I'm looking for a senior media advisor,
full salary with benefits.

- This is classified. Who sent it?
- Called themselves the Rabbit.

Enemy killed in action... my father,
my mother, my husband, my little boy.

Did you send an email to my ex-cellmate?
Are you the Rabbit?

You'd be well advised to keep your
distance from Mina and Sami Almasi.

2003, Iraq. You shot down the ADF inquiry.

Special Forces planted drop weapons
on an innocent family

to make them look like insurgents.

I've called a press conference
for tomorrow morning

to announce an inquiry
into the Special Forces incident.

It was a trap. You need to get out
before they come for you.

- They set us both up.
- Who?

- The fucking Rabbit?
- What?

The minister was shot,
execution-style, to the back of the head.

- ...cold-blooded...
- I never voted for her, but she...

...The nation's capital is reeling
after the shock assassination

of Home Affairs Minister
Catriona Bailey last night.

No charges have been laid and police
are tight-lipped about potential suspects,

leaving many to ask the question,

was this murder politically motivated?
And will there be more?

Stepping in as acting
home affairs minister

is Garrity's trusted right-hand man,
Jim Hellier, who wasted no time

in ordering a complete security lockdown
of Parliament House.

We will bring you all the details

as they emerge. Back to you in the stu...

- Ready?
- As I'll ever be.

Don't worry.

It's like riding a bicycle...
through a frigging war zone.

Lockdown. Lockdown. Lockdown.

This is an emergency warning announcement.

Proceed immediately
to the nearest secure room.

Lock all doors. Set devices to silent.

Freedom is not
a crown worn lightly.

It weighs heavy with responsibility

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

Prime Minister Garrity teeters
on the brink of a minority government,

with a cabinet minister
apparently assassinated

on the streets of the capital.

Messages of condolence continue to pour in
from heads of state around the world,

expressing shock and outrage
at a brazen and brutal attack

that has shaken the foundations
of our democracy.

And the Australian people
are looking for answers

on what is a dark day for the nation
and for a Garrity government

- now very much under siege.
- Fuck.

Do we need to lock down the House,
for God's sake?

We needed to make sure
that no one was going in or out,

while we put the new security measures in
place. I'm not taking any chances, Ewan.

You asked me to look after
Bailey's portfolio

till you found a replacement.
This is part of it.

I know. I appreciate you stepping up.

I'm not going to miss her.

She had one eye on your back
the whole time.

Directors-General from ASIO and ASD, sir.

- Anyone been charged?
- Not yet.

We do have
a potential person of interest.

- Personal grudge against the minister.
- That's good.

It's still ASIO's recommendation
to raise the alert.

- I'm not in favor.
- Well, there's Davoren Park to consider.

We've got records
of dark-web conversations

between the Lambert boy
and militant leftists, The Collective.

They were planning something.

It's possible they were using
Lambert's house to stockpile explosives

for a terror attack and something
went wrong, accidental detonation.

Since then, chatter among
The Collective has escalated.

We're not discounting the possibility
of another event.

Another bomb?

Patricia. Minister.

Sorry for your loss.

It's the first time
that wanker's looked higher than my boobs.

Listen to this. "Lock up Robbie Lambert,
throw away the key and we can sleep safe."

It's that dread-peddler Gaelene Curtis
from the opposition, with all the hair.

Looks like she's got a couple
of orangutans screwing on her head.

I didn't join your staff to be paraded
around like some dog-and-pony show.

Why do you think I hired you?
I want to be heard.

If I get attention because of who you are,
then good. Whatever it takes.

Huh. I've got people looking
to me to look after them.

What, like Robbie Lambert?

He's not a terrorist.
I know him, I knew his family.

Our intelligence agency seems to think
they've got enough to detain him.

I thought you'd give him
the benefit of doubt.

It's Gaelene. I'm gonna give her what for.

Listen, Karen. Just...
If you want to be heard, stop shouting.

Stop tweeting every 20 seconds.

Ask to speak to Robbie and get him
a lawyer. That's what he needs.

Not some self-serving, mud-slinging match
in the Twittersphere.

Huh! This is going to be fun.

Griff.

That's 22.55.

That card's been canceled. Got cash?

No.

Hey! Hey!

Shit!

They lost her.

- So, how did we get this file?
- USB left it at the Embassy in Islamabad.

You talk! You talk now!

My name is Corporal Gavin Markson.
I am a member of Redback One,

currently based in Afghanistan,
on the Pakistani border.

Based on intelligence
collected by my unit,

the United States conducted
an aerial strike on a vehicle...

in the Pakistani territory
of Northern Waziristan...

killing two members
of the Haqqani Network...

and General Tariq Nazir
of the Pakistan Armed Forces...

Targeting a Pakistani general?

We targeted high-value members
of the Haqqani, Prime Minister.

This is the first I've heard
of General Nazir.

What's a general doing
in a jihadist's car? Sightseeing?

Pakistan claims it wants to regain control
of the tribal lands.

The General could have been negotiating
Haqqani withdrawal.

So, who's got our man?

Well, on the face of it, Haqqani,
but we took out a general,

so this could have been orchestrated
by Pakistani authorities as a response.

They wanted a hostage.
As soon as they got Markson,

- they were gone.
- What do they want? Exchange?

They might not want anything except
revenge. This might just be a taunt.

- Yes, sir.
- Get me the Pakistani Ambassador.

- I think he’s out of town.
- I don't care if he's on the fucking moon.

- I want to see him.
- Yes, sir.

I want to come home.
Please... bring me home.

You could start with
our Innovation and Jobs media release.

You know,
I actually report directly to Karen.

The electorate's lost 4,000 jobs
since the car factory shut down.

Karen wants the factory repurposed. We
must get big industry back into Wakefield.

- That's a state issue.
- They're talking, but that's all.

Karen thinks we can bypass all that stuff
and not wait for the wonks

in South Australia that we know aren't
going to get anything done soon.

If you can make some punch
in the media on a national level,

you know that people will get behind it
and, before too long, we've cut through.

That's what she's trying to do.
It's why we're in Canberra.

What are you doing, Harriet?
You would never take a job on this side.

I don't believe it for a second.
What are you up to?

What are you up to, Griff?
You don't even have a minister any more.

- Been asked to stay on with Hellier.
- You know where the bodies are buried.

I think
I'm way behind you in the body count.

We go way back.

What does it mean if I can't access
a Home Affairs document on the server?

It means it's restricted... to the secure
computer system in the ministerial wing.

You do know about digital fingerprints?
Everyone's got a digital code.

You try to access a document,
it leaves a record.

So if I could access a document,
I could find out who else had accessed it?

Sure.

And if you could get
to a restricted document,

you would also be
in a nice, deep pile of shit.

- Oh. See you.
- Where are you...?

Good start.

Hi, Thomas.

- I don't owe you anything.
- You don't think?

I spent two years of my life feeling
like shit... for doing my job.

Kim stole classified material.

What was I supposed to do?

I need to get into
the Home Affairs secure system.

I want to find out who accessed this
and I think that you can do that for me.

I can.

But I'm not going to.

You okay? Everything all right.
You have everything you want?

We've got nothing to hide.

You're not going to learn anything.

Mina didn't do it.

If she didn't do it,
Mr. Almasi, where is she?

And why was her mobile phone found
on the road heading out of town?

I mean... Christ, Mum, hospital leftovers?

Thanks.

Come home, Harri. This place is a dump.

Yeah, well, it's right for me
at the moment. I need some space.

When did I ever not give you space?

I got work to do.

Lasagna tomorrow. See you then.

- Hello?
- You were supposed to leave.

Uh... I, uh... I couldn't. Where are you?

Mina?

I can't tell you.

Listen, I found where to access
the redacted document.

So, if I can get to it,
then we'll know who set you up.

And if you get caught...
how am I supposed to be okay with that?

Listen, have you got a place to stay?

I'm not telling you. Too risky.
Even Sami doesn't know.

I need to talk to him.

What for?

It's better that you don't know.

Mina, all we ever had was trust.
You're the one who said that.

Okay, you all right there?

Settled?

All right.

Let's see who's listening.

Independent South Australian
MP Karen Koutoufides is leading the charge

for ASIO’s release of Robbie Lambert.

Evidence linking him
to the Davoren Park explosion

remains undisclosed at this time.

Koutoufides is gaining traction.
Human Rights Watch just responded.

Human rights? What about the rest of us?

What about our right not to get blown
to kingdom fucking come?

Uh, line up a call with ASIO DG.

I've been granted an access visit
with Robbie this afternoon.

- Oh.
- A welfare check.

- That's good.
- Tiny problem.

The meeting's in the middle of Question
Time. They've done it deliberately.

- Then I wouldn't put pressure on the PM.
- Don't worry about Question Time.

- You can't be in two places at once.
- I can't, no.

No, I got a ton of meetings today and I'm
trying to get you a headline interview.

- I got to be here to do my job.
- This is your job.

He's got no one else.

Please. I need a break.
I need to go to the toilet.

We traced these conversations
back to your laptop.

I don't know about any collective.
I don't know about any of this.

This is you talking.

"We want maximum damage, need to strike
fast. Targets to be arranged."

No. I said that’s not me.

Please...

I need to go to the toilet.

What was the target?
What were you planning to strike?

Why would I kill my own family?

I don't know about any of this.

Don’t you lie to me, Robbie.

Lying to me would be
a very, very bad idea.

Ambassador, it's now day seven of Corporal
Markson being held in Pakistani territory.

Now, we need to know exactly
what your government's doing...

to facilitate his location.

I understand your distress,
Prime Minister,

and you have my government's sympathy,
but the Haqqani are in Pakistan illegally,

and we don't have contact with them.

General Nazir,
what was he doing in a terrorist's car?

Your soldiers are not the only targets
for kidnapping, Minister.

My government, of course,
is doing everything in its power

to find your Corporal Markson,
but you must understand,

it's like looking for a needle
in a haystack.

Thank you, Ambassador.

Prime Minister.

- They know where he is.
- Yeah.

We need to put the pressure on.
A sanctions warning?

No, that'd make it public, and I think
we've got to be smarter than that.

Half the US military are looking for him.
There's lots of eyes in the sky.

We'll get him back...

quietly.

I know this is hard for you
but it shouldn’t take much longer.

Robbie, have you had access
to adequate facilities during questioning?

Things like toilet breaks and water.

Robbie, I can’t help
if you won’t talk to me.

I do have one question.

You going to get me out of here?

I mean, we are doing everything we can.

So, that means no?

We have to conclude your visit,
Miss Dunkley.

Robbie, I want you to know
you have a lot support out there.

Robbie, no, please don't.

- Put the weapon down!
- Let me out!

- Please!
- Put the weapon down!

- Let me out!
- Don’t hurt him! Please!

- Put the weapon down!
- Please don’t hurt him!

Please!

Out! Get her out!

Robbie.

Fuck.

Hi.

No, I just... I just left now.
It went fine.

Yeah, no drama.

Hey, Karen, I'll be in there soon.

Bye.

Hey, Sami. It's Harriet.

I need a favor.

Hello, Thomas.

- Wait. Do I know you?
- We have a friend in common.

She spoke to you yesterday.

She wanted a favor.

I'm... I'm sorry, but...

It would mean so much...
if you could help her out.

I'd be very grateful.

You see my friend, Mustafa, over there?

He's not as patient as me.

You understand?

Take some time to think about it, Thomas.

You might change your mind.

For you.

Word is the Libs have picked
a candidate for the by-election.

Don't know why they're bothering.
Bailey's diehards won't change now.

Mm.

Who's that with Gaelene Curtis?

Lobbyist from Vanguard Energy.

Vanguard Energy?

They want to open a solar thermal plant
in Victoria. Gaelene wants it to be in...

Big industry.

Big, new, shiny industry.

Hold the fort, Dec.

Hello, Gaelene. How's the lamb?
Not too fatty for you?

Karen Koutoufides.
Independent for Wakefield.

- Alex Berezin, Vanguard Energy.
- We're in the middle of a meeting.

You need a solar plant. I've got a disused
car factory that's begging to be reopened,

and a very keen workforce. Infrastructure
coming out your proverbial...

Karen, you've got a worthless piece
of real estate

and a bunch of meth-head bogans.

Go back to your table.

Think about it, Mr. Berezin,
then come and have a chat with me.

- You won't even have to buy me dinner.
- I'm buying him dinner.

Okay. I'm here.

Okay.

Right. You've got ten seconds.

Okay, I'm at the door.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, insert the USB.

Now, listen, that's going to brute-force
the password.

Okay, I'm in. I'm, uh...

I'm just going to put in...
document number now.

Why's it taking so long?

Thomas, it's not here.

Try again.
Check you're putting in the right one.

I put the right number in. It's not here.

Shit.

Harriet, close it down and get out.

Okay, just hold on. It's got to be here.

Harriet?

What are you doing?
Don't answer that phone.

Some sort of internal phone log system
has just come up for Catriona Bailey.

- Do not touch that.
- Jesus, it lists every call.

- What are you doing?
- Just... just hang on one second.

Do not touch anything else.

Do not access any other files.

What is going on?

Lockwood.

- Hurry up.
- Okay. I'm getting out.

Harriet, I'm warning you.

Harriet!

Shit.

You said she'd be here.

The number that you have dialed
is not available.

There is no message service
with this number.

- This is a bad idea.
- I know.

Whoever this Rabbit is,
they're the one who set me up.

Or maybe they're the killer.

Why would the Rabbit message
my phone now?

It feels like they know I'm digging around
and... and it's a warning to stop.

- Did you find the document?
- No, I found something else.

Davoren Park, what does that mean to you?

It's the house in Adelaide,
the one that blew up.

Catriona Bailey called
the Chief of Defense

17 times that night,
almost immediately after the explosion.

And then the next night,
she called someone's mobile phone,

someone who was standing
in the middle of Davoren Park.

It feels like... or I think that someone's
trying to cover something up.

- I think Bailey's involved.
- That's why she's dead?

I don't know.

I mean...

Do I want to do this again?

Like, do I?

It's your decision, Harri.

Don't do it for me. Okay?

Let me out!

- Shut up!
- Put the weapon down!

- Don't shout at me!
- Don't hurt him!

Out! Get her out!

- That's your poor orphan boy.
- He's desperate. That's all that means.

You might want to reconsider
your position, Karen.

You might want
to tell your boss the next time

he's got something to tell me,
he can do it himself.

I'm here because I believe
in what my minister is trying to do.

I wonder, can you say the same thing
of your media adviser?

Harriet is not a team player.
I mean, she never has been.

Thanks for your time.

Come in.

Shut the door.

I can't have you hiding things from me...
especially something like this!

Well?

I didn't want to tell you
that he attacked me

because I thought that
then you'd change your mind

about Robbie and stop fighting for him.

I don't play games like that.
I thought you knew that.

Are we on the same page, Harriet?
Because...

Because this place
is like a 24/7 shit fight.

- Yeah.
- I need to know I can rely on you.

You can, 100%.

- Good.
- You know that there is a way around this?

- We just got to get in first.
- Oh, really?

You release the video. Put our spin on it.

I mean, Robbie was traumatized.
The video, I assume, shows that.

No, it'd backfire.

It'd get their attention, then we could
use that to ask the questions we want.

Ludie Sypek wouldn't be able to resist it.

Catriona Bailey loved
this country... and its people.

When she first joined Parliament,
she took an oath to serve...

which she did, tirelessly, faithfully...

in both Houses...

for more than 30 years.

I ask for a minute's silence now...

as we remember
a true soldier of the people.

Have you met our new candidate
for the by-election, Ian Casey?

Jesus, Gaelene, the body's not even cold.

- I'll be back in a second.
- Yeah.

- Excuse me for a second.
- Harriet.

- Yeah.
- I got your message and I'm interested.

- Okay, and Karen?
- I don't think so.

You don't get the video
unless she gets a voice.

She's a minnow. I run a shark tank.
You really want to throw her into that?

Yeah, I think she can handle it.

- Okay, we'll see.
- Great.

- Air Chief Marshal Lockwood?
- Yes.

Hi. Um...

The explosion at Davoren Park, why wasn't
Robbie Lambert arrested that night?

Or at the very least, the next day?

That's a counter-terrorism issue,
not my field.

But I mean, aren't you the first port
of call in the case of terror activities?

I wasn't aware
you were still a journalist, Miss Dunkley.

Then why would Catriona Bailey call you
so many times that night?

17 phone calls between her mobile
and your number,

starting just a few minutes
after the explosion.

This is before emergency services
even got there.

This is a memorial. Have some respect.

Ms. Koutoufides.

Mr. Berezin.

I was thinking about what you said
the other day and I was wondering

if you might change your mind
about letting me buy you dinner?

We've all got to eat, don't we?

Mm.

Beer, thanks.

Big military presence.

You guys planning a 21-gun salute? Or are
you going to shoot Bailey out of a cannon?

Is it that obvious?

You don't hang around the Chief of Defense
unless you're on the job.

Joe Sullivan. Lieutenant.

Harriet Dunkley. Half-cut.

I know who you are.

Must've been tough.

Two years stuck in a shitty cell.

No worse than being stuck
in a shitty foxhole

in someone else's country,
fighting someone else's war.

It's everybody's war now.
Haven't you heard?

What? You really believe that?

I believe there are values
worth protecting.

- Worth dying for?
- Fighting for.

Isn't that why you went to jail?
Fighting for something you believed in?

Ah, I'm not like you.

You don't even know me.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, just give me a minute.
Grab yourself a drink.

Adelaide...

Fuck.

Did you get yourself a drink?

Mrs. Houli, this is Harriet Dunkley
from Karen Koutoufides' office.

I’m going to be in Adelaide
this afternoon and I wondered

if you’d mind me driving out
to Davoren Park,

just to ask you a few questions about what
happened on the night of the explosion.

Could you please give me a call back
on this number? Thank you so much.

Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.

It must be a relief to be home.

Oh, it is.

- Would you like some sugar?
- No, thank you.

Thank you. Sorry.

So, um, who actually showed up
the, um... the night of the explosion?

The... fire brigade, ambulance, police.

And the men who evacuated us,
but they weren't wearing uniforms.

Uh, so, you think
they might have been military?

Special Forces or something?

How's Robbie?

It's not easy for him.

Tell him we don't believe
what they're saying.

Danny.

Get Mrs. Dunkley something
she can take back for Robbie.

Maybe a photo of you two.

We weren't that close.

I don't have many photos of us together.

Is that Chloe Lambert?

Was she your girlfriend?

Nobody knew.

She was only 15.

Her bedroom was
right across there.

Last time I saw her was that night.

I used to video her.

Nothing creepy.

Just...

- I can show you.
- Yeah.

You don't want to see the rest.

Was that the night of the explosion?

Danny, do you think that
I could maybe take a copy of that?

Cal.

Talk to me.

The house in Adelaide... it was a fuck-up.

Yeah. I know.

It's okay, Cal.

You're safe now. Come on.

Come on.

The police are okay
with releasing this information?

I'm the minister for Home Affairs.
I am the police.

If we take the flip side here
and don't do anything...

Where are you?

I want to get out.

- Let me get out! Let me out! Shut up!
- Put the weapon down!

Don't hurt him!

Out! Get her out!

A 16-year-old boy,

he loses his entire family.

He's detained. He's isolated,

He's questioned without a lawyer.

He's a violent terrorist.
He should be locked up.

- Australians have a right to feel safe.
- They are safe.

- How so, Minister?
- The questioning and detainment

of Robbie Lambert is just one aspect
of the laws that are in place

- for the protection of all Australians.
- Protection at what cost, Minister?

While we're in a rush to protect some,

we're happy to abandon others.

If we don't adhere
to the principles of democracy,

and that includes the rights, the basic
human rights of every single citizen,

then we're on a fast track
to totalitarianism and, in that scenario,

you'd be Goebbels, if you thought
for more than ten seconds

before you opened your asinine pie hole.

Australians have no need for alarm.

Robbie Lambert is in custody
and I'm happy to announce

the police are about to identify a suspect
in the murder of Catriona Bailey.

- Can you name the suspect?
- I can.

A convicted criminal with a personal
grudge against the minister. Mina Almasi.

Mina Almasi. Doesn't she have
an association with

your media advisor, Harriet Dunkley?

Yeah. Yeah, they were jailbirds together
at Maconochie.

Oh. Didn't you know that?

Would you care to comment?

Hi.

Do you want to give me one good reason
why I shouldn't fire your arse right now?

No, Robbie didn't do it.

The bomb...

came from the sky.
