Look, I'll swing by on my way to work, OK? Bye.
Babe? What would you do if I was hit by a bus? Maree? I'd call a doctor.

The cops turning up Maybe like once before.
Detective Sergeant Voller.
This is Detective Sergeant Rayburn.
We have a warrant to search the premises.
Search it for what? You can read it if you like.
This has got to be a mistake.
You got the wrong house.
Hey! Hey, that's my son's room! You don't have to go in! What the fuck! Uh Mum, this is, um this is Kelly.
Go inside.
How are the kids? Are they OK? Maree? Yeah, they're never better.
They love it when their dad's in jail.
You need to speak to your brother.
Koz is a fitness trainer, babe.
He's not a High Court judge.
He knows people.
He can sort out stuff, the bail application.
Is that what you were doing, sorting out stuff? Seriously, how could you? Into our house.
You bring a bag full Maree! It wasn't mine.

Are you OK? Are you? There's a couple of good-looking guys in here.
I want to go in there and see him.
Yeah, sure.
Do you think they know who set him up? Who planted the bag? Mitch? Do you think he'll get raped? What? Well, Lee Feeney said it.
Lee Feeney's a dickhead.
Is he alright? He's OK.
He sends his love.
When's he getting back? Soon.
Soon.
Um, what time's your science exam? That's not important.
I told you.
Mitch.
9:30.
We're not really going to school.
I mean, surely Mum, this is clear grounds for compassionate leave.
You sound like a lawyer.
If you studied harder, maybe you could be one.
Might be useful in this family.
I'm not really actually required at school today.
Look, it was nothing, Mum.
I promise.
It can't have been nothing if they banned you from the school.
I was just solving a problem.
That's what I'm going to say when I take away your phone.
Maree! Maree! Oh, my God! Oh, my God, are you OK? Oh! Oh, sweetheart, you're looking after your mum, are you? No, I actually got suspended from school.
Oh because of your dad? No, um, I got in a fight Let's not get into it right now, shall we? How are you? I'm literally breathing.
Grandma.
Your brother is so upset.
Tell Nanny all about it.
How is he? Tell me what happened.
I don't know.
Koz.
What did Troy tell you? Uh, nothing! Why would he? I'm just his wife, the mother of his kids.
Look, Maree.
.
Don't brush me, Koz.
I swear to God.
I'm not an idiot.
I know he wasn't out there feeding the homeless.
Talk to me! He was supposed to deliver.
But he didn't.
He bailed.
I don't know why.
Where were you? I was here with Dimity.
So you left him on his own? No, Bobby Chisel was with him.
Oh! Look, they were supposed to meet some people.
Jesus! Calm down.
Calm down?! Are you? Whose stuff was it? Not mine.
An acquaintance.
Listen, you got him into this in the first place.
Yeah.
I'll look after him, Maree.
They'll take care of him.
How about a drink? Little spritzer? I'm gonna have one.
My name's Jon Pinder.
I'm a detective with the FCU.
C-U, raise you.
It's the Federal Crime Unit.
I've got some questions about your colleagues.
I don't have any colleagues.
Well, that's fib number one.
Nils Vandenberg and Kosta Krilich.
Nils is the one I'm interested in.
This fellow here, Robert Chiswell.
I believe you call him 'Chisel'.
Bobby the Chisel? - He's already on board.
- Since when? Well, he's made a statement.
And if you were to corroborate that statement.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Troy, look, I get it.
Code of silence.
Scout's honour.
Knights of the pig and whistle.
Can I just say that's bullshit? No-one plays that way anymore.
If they say they do, they're lying.
We know how this pans out.
You'll do four, five years.
You really wanna do that? Here? I can get that sentence cut down.
So you fit me up and then you blackmail me.
Is that how this is gonna work? Nah.
State cops busted you.
Not me.
I work with grown-ups.
And you just happen to be a blip on our radar.
So I've just come to have a look.
Just have a peek at the blip, see if it's useful.
I'm not helping ya.
You're not.
Yeah, that's very noble.
Sure Nils would do the same for you.
Troy Quigg? Really? He knows more than he's letting on.
You think? No idea.
But if he could give us Nils Your call.
Your performance review.
Listen, Troy, I just want you to take a few minutes, read the statement OK.
Enjoy the facilities.
I'm not a dog.
Don't tell me, mate.
Tell your wife and kids.
I'm sure they'll be thrilled.
- Where's Chisel? - I don't know.
At his house? No-one's seen him in three days.
I don't like it, Kosta.
I really don't like it.
Oi! Alright, guys.
Down, let's go.
No, we're not taking that.
No room.
Mitch, there's no room.
He can put the seat down.
Yeah, but there may not be a beach.
What you doing? Jesus, come on.
Yeah, we're just about ready.
Denallo, you take the kids, alright? Alright, Come on, Shaneen, in you get.
Why can't I go in the front? It's a procedural thing.
But I'm always at the back Shaneen.
Where's your wife? I'll get her.
Denallo, get those bags in the other boot.
Yeah, got it.
Maree, you ready? Just tried to call Mum.
We have to say goodbye properly.
We have to at least let the kids say goodbye.
We can't.
What about my job? We will come back? I promise.
I give the cops what they want, we get our lives back.
I'm not gonna get my job back, am I? I called the hospital and I couldn't even explain to them why I'm not coming in.
People, for Christ's sake, let's go.
Yeah, we're coming! Why this? Why can't we get a security patrol? Or I don't know, a dog or a tank or a Baby, baby, we have been over this before.
Well, then go over it again for me.
I'm a bit slow.
Why is this the only way? Because there are people who want you dead.
OK, Troy, obviously.
But you or the kids might do.
Then go and arrest them! Give them the grief! We need to make you safe.
Come on.
Do it up.
What the fuck?! Can you not swear in front of my kids, please? Reverse? Yeah, yeah, I got it.
You know, Mitch can drive, he's pretty good.
Yeah, I don't think we need an L-plater at the wheel.
At least I can back out of a driveway.
You better duck down low, in case they take a pot shot at the car.
Stop, stop.
Don't go.
Open the door.
Open the door, Pinder.
Open the door! Pinder, open the door! Mum! Mum! Darling! Open the door! Mum! Nan! Let him out! Let us out, Denallo! Open the door! Mum, open the door! Open the door! Mum! Mum! Keys, phones, credit cards.
Medicare cards, anything with your name on it.
Hand them over.
Phones? Yeah, yours too.
And, no, you can't keep your SIM card.
Dad, all my stuff, it's on my phone.
Just do what they say.
OK, Maree Quigg, you're now Rebecca Swift.
Rebecca Jane Swift.
Rebecca.
That's that's nice, Mum.
You'll notice I've asked you to come up with your own signature.
Troy, you're Lincoln Barclay Swift, Rebecca's husband.
Lincoln, seriously? How do you even spell it? As it's written right there.
Um, Mitchell Quigg, there you are.
And, Shaneen.
Tara Swift.
Tara Elizabeth Swift.
What did you get? Mitchell.
No, stupid, your new name.
They gave me the same name.
- New name same as old name.
Mitchell.
- It's a different surname.
Oh, that's OK then, I feel real safe.
I don't make up the names.
Computer gives them out.
Sign here, all four copies.
In our old names or what? Both.
This is Federal Witness Protection Level 1.
Change of identity.
Now, you understand there's no going back from this point? Mitch I'm not doing this.
I can live with Gran or Koz.
There's heaps of people I can stay with.
No, you can't.
Why?! Why should I have to? I didn't do anything! Yeah, tell me about it.
Do you think I wanna up and leave? It's just until we get things sorted.
He said there's no going back.
No, no.
Mitch, we will work something out.
I just have to appear in court and then we'll be safe.
How long is that gonna take? I'm not gonna stand here and lie to you.
No, 'cause that would be immoral and you wouldn't do anything immoral, would you? Get back inside! You don't call anyone without permission.
In an emergency, you call me, you don't call 000.
You break the law, we can't protect you.
You break the law, you're out of the program - simple as that.
I don't have a phone.
Like really, I don't have one.
Yeah, I want a gold one.
Right, you head home.
You go back to your place and I'll take the kids and drop everyone in the safe house.
We're nearly there.
It's fine.
I can do it.
Pinder.
What? We can all go in one car.
Seriously? You're shutting me out? Come on, it's not like that.
You don't trust me.
Well, if we do it this way, I don't have to.
Boys what's the problem? No problem.
Welcome to Sydney.
We're gonna go in one car from here.
Why? Why the change of plans? Because I say so.
That's how we're gonna do it.
What about the paperwork? Yep, I'll make sure it's all in order.
Righto, you two, let's go.
Next car.
Quick.
Don't mope.
Holy shit.
It's awesome.
You're deranged.
Can we go in, Mum? Uh, it's locked.
Pinder's getting a key.
Well, maybe there's a window I can climb through.
Yeah, good call.
Break in.
See if you can get yourself arrested.
No, wha? We're staying here, like, forever, right? Where is Pinder exactly? Here we go.
Wow! Yeah, there's a bit of a mess.
Sorry.
It's a squat! You're putting us in a crack house.
No, it's the previous tenant had to leave in a hurry.
Is it safe? Yeah.
Absolutely.
'Cause you kinda want that, in a safe house.
Here's the key.
Get yourselves settled in.
I'll contact you tomorrow.
You're leaving? You're just dumping us here? Wha? Listen, you're safe.
Alright? Nobody knows you're here.
Nobody.
Tara.
Tara.
Tara.
Tara Swift.
Tara Elizabeth Swift.
Tara.
Hm.
Mitch, there's someone's stuff in the bathroom.
There's stuff all over the house.
It says haemer haemer Haemorrhoids.
That's arse cream.
Mm! You licked it, Shaneen.
You rubbed it on your face.
Shut up.
Just call me Tara.
Or what? They'll arrest me? No, but it's not gonna work unless you do it properly, is it? Do you think he got killed, the last person who was here? Arse cream man? I bet he was in the program.
They probably tracked him down and killed him right here Shaneen.
Tara.
I'm just saying.
Well, I'm not staying here.
I'm going back.
Yeah, you had your tanty in Queensland.
Maybe next time I won't talk about it, I'll just go.
It's healing.
Sort of.
Are you alright? I can't believe Pinder just left us here on our own.
Do we trust him? No.
But without him Aah! Shh Sorry.
Sorry.
So he's got Bobby Chisel in protection as well? I guess.
I don't know.
Well, I wanna know.
Everything.
I'm keeping Koz out of it.
It's Nils they want, not Koz.
Yeah, but Koz is involved.
What if Chisel tips the bucket on him? No, Bobby wouldn't.
And anyway, I'll just say it's all lies.
I'm not gonna let Koz get hurt.
Just don't let the kids get hurt.
Oh, baby I'm just saying.
If anything happens to them, I'll kill you myself.
Mm-hm.
Mm Maree, baby Shh! Mm.
I don't think I can manage.
You don't have to.
Hi.
I'm looking for the Gender Studies lecture.
I think you've already failed that.
Is that right? Ferdine, you look stunning.
Is he here yet? Where is he? Pinder, I cannot have a violent criminal roaming on campus.
Why not? You study them.
You make a living out of them.
That is different.
This is a real-life case study.
Don't be scared.
Come on, help me out.
No, never gets me anywhere.
You right? Rubbish.
That's alright.
I can do it.
No I've got it, I can do it.
- Who are you? - He's not violent.
Well, he is, but I trust him not to harm civilians.
And you'll have bugger-all contact with him anyway.
Then what's he gonna do? He'll meet with me.
Debrief.
Keep to himself.
He'll be invisible.
Then why here? I don't know.
Why not? Look, to be honest, I've got nowhere else.
But when you think about it, it's kind of perfect.
You know you want to.
Oh, shut up.
Did you get a look at him? He's really handsome.
No, no, no, seriously, like Invisible.
Not a dollar out of my budget.
On my mother's grave.
Your mother was cremated, John.
I was there.
Oh, my! Oh, my goodness! What happened? What's going on? Nothing.
I thought someone was shooting.
Up you get.
There you go.
Oh, cripes.
Giant bird hit the window.
That's Shakespearean.
Nah, just looks like a crow to me.
Uh, Ferdine's the Dean of Faculty.
Actually, I'm not.
I'm Head of School.
Oh, well, you're the boss around here.
So any problems Oh, look, there won't be any problems.
The computer's not linked in, it's just for show.
We've got some books to make you feel at home.
Sure, sure.
I'm a bookworm.
But he'll be in the system now, yeah? I'll put him down as a Post-Doc, but he's reporting directly to me.
Great.
Great.
Cheers.
Yes.
I look forward to reading your work, Dr Swift.
Tara.
Tara-ra-ra, rah-rah.
Mitch, can you turn that down, please? Mitch? Mitchell! I was watching that.
I don't find gunshots soothing.
Can you grab everything that's not ours and just shove it into a pile over there? What for? Because I'm trying to make the place bearable.
You don't even know if we're staying here.
They could chuck us out first thing, you wouldn't get a say.
Well, your dad's at the uni.
They've given him a job there.
Yeah, right.
What as? Professor of Criminality? Hey, listen, Mitch, why don't you just go upstairs? Put yourself to bed.
I was just Go! Now! Out of my sight.
Hey, Dad did this.
OK, not me.
Dad.
Can't even joke about it.
Mum, I'm hungry.
That I can fix.
Session one, 4:15, recording.
Subject, X-7.
August 10, you drove Nils where? Do we have to film it? Yeah.
You drove Nils to Yatala? Yatala.
That's what I said.
I drove him to Bow Street.
Then you met up with .
.
Robert Chiswell and Kosta Krilich.
What do they do all day? University people.
Oh, well, study, go to lectures.
I've never set foot inside a uni.
But you've been inside a jail.
It's the same thing - bunch of old buildings, couple of towers, lot of people who don't wanna be there.
Well, doesn't look like a jail to me.
Slightly more sex.
Some days.
Listen, can we get back to the interview? This is not gonna work.
Pinder, I don't belong here.
Who's gonna look for you here? I can keep you safe.
Here I can get money.
I can get your pay through accounts, but you have to make it work.
I'm not giving you Koz.
I'll talk about Nils, not Koz.
You don't get a choice.
He's me best mate.
I'm not giving him up.
Lincoln I need your word to stack up with Chisel's.
Then you put me in touch with Bobby direct and he and I can figure something out.
That's not how it works.
Why? Why the fuck not? Oh, just doesn't.
Jesus Is Chisel in the program? What faculty have you got him in? Fine Arts? Are you? Nah.
Nah.
August 10, you drove Nils to Yatala.
I keep thinking about Dimity and the baby.
I mean, they'll let you go back, right, for the birth? Um I I don't know, I don't think so.
But that's stupid.
I mean, you're the one who's been there Oh! Quick, quick, get me a a plastic bag.
Where? Where? There, there.
Aah! God, I've got to get cleaning stuff.
Mum, you have to be there for Dimity.
Sweetheart, why don't you, um Why don't you go and see if Mitchell wants something to eat? OK.
Yo, can you knock? Knock, knock.
Do you want food? No.
Close the door behind you.
You got any cash? Why? 'Cause I need a loan.
Mitch, you can't run away.
It'll kill Mum and Dad.
They should've thought of that before they dragged us into this.
It's not their fault.
No? How do you think we ended up here? You think it was an accident? Dad said it was a mistake.
I don't have any money.
Sooky-puss doesn't want anything.
Go easy on him.
God, your father just dumps his stuff everywhere! Mum, is is Dad guilty? Seriously, he's a drug dealer? No.
No OK.
Why then is? Because he saw some things Look, if your dad was guilty, they wouldn't have let him go, would they? Mum, you have to tell all that to Mitchell.
Explain it, or else I don't I don't know, he might not get it.
Mum? Mum? Yeah.
Yeah Oh, and have you seen my pink cardie? Yes, I have.
It's hideous.
Dimity's phone.
Hello? It's not what it looks like, I promise.
He said we weren't allowed to contact anyone.
Yeah Listen, don't tell your father, OK? I'll tell him myself, at some point.
Going somewhere? Sydney's got beaches.
Famous ones.
Yeah, well, I don't know where they are.
Yeah, me neither.
I'm sorry, Mitch.
Have I even said that? Well, your dad hates himself.
That's got to make you happy.
It's a start.
Who'd you call? Dim and Koz.
Started to.
Chickened out.
I don't know anyone's number.
They were all on my phone, but now I think maybe we have to just not fight the power, you know? Just for today.
Suck it up.
Tomorrow we can hijack a plane.
Nils.
We got an address.
Where is everyone? Maree! Whoa! Hey hey.
You can't be you anymore, do you understand? Put the gun down.
No, I wanna shoot you in the head.
Babe.
Babe.
I swear to God, if you 'babe' me one more time, I really will shoot you in the head.
Maree, put the gun down.
Are you nuts? You could've shot me! Yeah, I still might of you don't listen.
You put that gun down.
No! I am not the one who brought it in here, into this house, with our kids! I mean, Jesus, Troy, after everything that's happened, you pack the Glock?! It's a Q19.
What? Chinese.
It's a knock-off.
Mum, Dad? Are you OK? Yeah, we're fine.
What's up? What was that noise? A thing fell down.
Just give us a minute, will ya? Yeah alright.
Just give us five minutes, OK? Shaneen, can you put some water on to boil? There's some pumpkin in the fridge.
Why do I have to do it? Because I said so.
Mitch, help her please.

Maree.
Listen, it is over.
OK? It's done.
I mean, illegal.
Anything illegal, we are done with it! Do you understand? Yeah Shut up! Let me finish.
It's not just that.
It's just you can't do any more of this crouching temper, hidden tough guy stuff.
What? You are not a hard man anymore, OK? Do you understand me? From now on, you are like fucking Gandhi or something or this isn't going to work.
If I have to start again from scratch, if Mitch and Shaneen have to become some sort of Sydney dickheads, then you can't be you, not anymore.
OK.
But I will protect this family.
See, that's it! That's the tough guy right there! That's the guy you married! That's what got us here, you idiot! Mum, are you coming out.
Shaneen's not doing it right.
Oh, for God's sake, Shaneen! How can you screw up boiling water? Tara! Just call me Tara! Go away, both of you! One minute.
I have to go, but you I'm not me, blah-blah-blah.
Fuckin' I get it.
Maree This leaves the house, forever.
And from now on you call me Bec.
Bec.
OK.
Bec.
If we're gonna do it I don't have any cash.
I can't access my bank account.
That paperwork that Pinder sent, it's like I don't exist.
You see that van? It wasn't there last night.
Whoa! Mum! Look out! I think we need to get out of here.
Where next? I'm not sitting here, waiting.
Lincoln? Where are we going? For a drive.
Family outing.
Yeah, it's me.
I need a trace on a phone.
What's happened? Something's happened.
What are you talking about? Something bad's happened or we wouldn't be doing this.
I'm gonna call Pinder.
What if he set you up? What if Chisel was his doing? Well, then I'm dead.
I'm dead!
