Oh, Mum.
Where am I?
Where's Dan?
Mum?
Mum, did they find Dan?
Tell me.
His father identified him.
Dan died in the fire.
And the others?
Annika?

who survived.
Of all 10?
Everyone else?
Oh, darling.

(THEME MUSIC)
So, um, every road
to the courthouse blocked?
Only police vehicles
allowed through.
We have 200 soldiers
guarding the perimeter.
Jeez. They're gonna have to
be there for months.
This trial's not gonna be fast.
PASTIKA: They will be.
He won't get through.
Azahari's not gonna
come himself.
He'll send kids,
like he did last time.
JOURNALIST: Early this morning
outside Denpasar
Police Headquarters,
officers were told security was
to be increased to levels
- Here.
- ..never seen before.
Authorities are now
so concerned about safety
that, from today,
a newly formed strike force
will patrol the streets,
hotels and airport.
TRANSLATOR: This operation,
the main purpose
I'm pretty freaked out
about you going back there.
When's your flight?
JOURNALIST:
..chief suspect Amrozi
was waiting for his team
of pro-Islamic
Where are you staying?
Not in Kuta?
..seems compelling.
Today, we were shown
the taped confession.
Nic?
..Amrozi describes in detail
how he planned the attack
and helped build the bomb.
- He even drew pictures
- I'm not going.
..placed on October 12.
Amrozi's lawyer
is reported to have said
I can't face it.
- What do you say?
- Good.
I'd be worried sick.
TRANSLATOR:
..that his clients are innocent.

Are you alright?
I've been so angry
and now this?
But my husband
he'll never come back.
Have you had
the cremation yet?
No.
I can give you the money.
I know Balinese cremations
cost a lot.
Oh, no, thank you.
We'll be fine.
I need to speak with my husband.
I will go to Balian.
What's that?
She can call my husband's spirit
into her body.
So then I can speak with him.

Hi. Hello.
Hey.
Wow. What's all this?
MAN: Cards. Letters.
Thousands of them.
I thought (CLEARS THROAT)
I thought you might
want to look through them
before you started back in.
You look great, Pol.
- (HALF-LAUGHS)
- You're doing so well.
We're all really proud of you.
Anyway, you can work as little
or as much as you want.
- No pressure at all.
- Thank you.
Have you, uh
- Have you been following this?
- POLLY: No.
I'm over what those men did. I
refuse to even think about them.
KBO, I say. Keep buggering on.
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
POLLY: Dear Dan,
I can't sleep now.
I can't even get out of bed
some days.
Nothing works.
We used to talk about
everything, remember?
I just
I don't think I can
keep going without you.
(ALARM CLOCK BEEPS REPEATEDLY)
What are you doing?
What does it look like
I'm doing, Nat?
I'm trying to make a
Like, you know
A sandwich? OK.
Yes, a sandwich.
Basic fucking words!
I keep forgetting them.
Hey, the doctor said
that'd happen.
Yeah, I know.
Why are you doing this? You
forget you only have one arm?
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- No.
I remember.
Thanks for reminding me.
I want my old life back.
NICOLE: He's here again.
Do you want me to talk to him?
No. I will.
NICOLE: What are you doing here?
- I don't know, just sitting.
- Well, you can stop.
Just go and live your life.
LUKE: I can't.
You can.
I don't want you here
out of guilt.
Nic, that's not why I'm here.
Look, you're a really great guy,
but I've got so much shit
going on in my life
- I know that.
- Get back in the car.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Luke, just get back in the car.
Luke, get back in the car.
Get back in the car!
(SHOUTS) Get back in the car!
Please do it.
Just get back in the car.
Please, just get back

(CRIES)
We think Azahari is in this
region somewhere. West Java.
Have you got
intelligence on that?
We believe he was stopped
by traffic police.
But they didn't recognise him.
Well, how can that be?
His photo's everywhere.
- He's changing his appearance.
- Right.
And he has friends.
Yes. In Jemaah Islamiyah.
But Mere is getting closer.
NEWSREADER: Two bombs
exploded in Jakarta,
the country's capital,
just before 8am local time.
The blast targeted
two American hotels,
the Ritz-Carlton
and the JW Marriott.
So far, 9 people are reported
dead and 42 injured.
So joining us by phone now
is Bumba Arijit Das.
He's on the ground in Jakarta.
And, Arijit, if you could
bring us up to date
on the latest there?
ARIJIT: That's right, Scarlet,
so, basically,
there's nine people killed,
and we just had
a press conference
by the police spokesman.
So they are saying
that possibly
(ARIJIT CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
(PHONE RINGS)
Yeah?
-(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(PEOPLE SHOUT)
- (AZAHARI SHOUTS)
- (WOMAN SCREAMS)
(SHOUTING)
(MUSIC SLOWLY QUIETENS)
And the Marriott bomb, that
was Azahari. His signature?
ASHTON: Yeah.
- Same explosives as Bali.
- Yeah, I know.
They're trying
to influence the trial.
Yeah, look, I don't know.
Possibly.
The verdict is in tomorrow.
They're gonna get
the death penalty.
What's being done?
Well, a detachment of 400 elite
soldiers is being deployed.
They have some idea
where Azahari is.
"Some idea"?
What does that mean?
(SIGHS) Look, they tracked him
to a boarding house
in Bandung, Java,
and they couldn't get him.
Why not?
He was in a crowded marketplace
with a bomb on his back and
there were kids everywhere.
They let him go?
Yes, they let him go.
They had no choice.
200 people have
already died in Bali,
11 more in Jakarta.
How many more people
are gonna die now?
Mate, if they had
any other choice,
they would have taken it,
alright?
They had no other choice.
How do you know
that crack team of soldiers
isn't full of his mates?
Because they're
very good operatives.
Well, not good enough.
Obviously.

TREVOR McDONALD:
One of the concerns
surrounding
the coming war with Iraq
is that while
almost everyone agrees
that Saddam Hussein
is a brutal dictator,
many people doubt that he poses
an immediate threat to Britain,
or that he's linked to
the people who attacked America
on September 11, 2001.
Let's hear from Hanabeth Luke,
who has some experience
of terrorism,
because her boyfriend
was killed in Indonesia.
Mr Blair,
I have come from Australia
to show you this photograph
of Marc Gajardo and myself.
We were both in
the Sari Club on October 12.
Marc was killed
and I made it out.
But I saw the carnage.
I saw the devastation.
I've seen the suffering
that results with families
in Australia and England.
I heard the thud
of Marc's father's knees
as he fell to the floor
when I told him over the phone
that his son was dead.
Do you really want to go
into a war with Iraq
and subject so many innocent
Iraqi families to the same?
Because they will be hurt.
They will be,
and they will go through
the same pain that I've seen.
And they will resort
to more terrorism.
More innocent young men
like Marc
will be targeted
and they will be killed.
There's nothing - sorry -
I can say to take away the pain
that you feel in this situation.
HANABETH: I'm not asking you
to take away my pain.
BLAIR: But I'm just saying that,
right at the outset.
But the reason why I'm taking
this action is that my worry is,
if the terrorists are able
to get hold of
even worse material
than they used
in the bomb in Bali,
you could be talking not about
several hundred people dying,
but several thousand people
dying,
perhaps even more than that,
and that's why I'm doing it.
Look, who would want to be in
the position of going to war?
But if I actually believe
and genuinely believe
that there is a real risk,
because we know
these terrorists groups,
the sort that perpetrated
that, um, atrocity in Bali,
are trying to get hold
of these weapons.
If we don't take action
against this threat now,
the risk is not that
..not that innocent people
die, simply,
but that they die
on a huge scale,
and that's what worries me.
Now, there are no easy choices
in this situation
and there is no, you know,
moral high ground
that one side owns
and the other side doesn't.
But that's what I see
every single day across my desk.
I get reports
of these terrorist groups,
the sorts that are in Europe
at the moment,
the sorts that did that in Bali,
though Bali had nothing to do
with the war against terror.
But until we start asking these
people why they hate us so much,
we're not going to find out
the cause for this.
These people are not using
weapons of mass destruction.
These people are using weapons
that are on hand, easily.
They used planes
at the World Trade Center,
they used fertiliser in Bali.
These people are
using their minds,
not weapons of mass destruction.
- BLAIR: But if they could
- (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
BLAIR: Yeah, but surely,
you know,
let's at least agree
on one thing.
If they could use a weapon of
mass destruction, they would.
(WHEELS SQUEAL ON TRACKS)
Yes? Yeah.
No, no, no, that works.
No, that (SIGHS)
Yeah, that's fine.
That can work on our end.
So, uh, 40,000 at, um, 8 and
Eight and (STAMMERS)
(EERIE MUSIC)
And
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES AND DIES)
(OFFICE PHONES RING)
Did I say eight-and-a-half or
I can't Did I say
Did I say eight-and-a-half?
Did I say eight-and-a-half?
Of course. No, I'm not
I'm not trying to raise you.
Oh, my God!
Um
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES AND DIES)
(SILENCE)
Um
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
(DISCORDANT MUSIC)
(WHISPERS) Sorry.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES AND FADES)
- You imagined it, darling.
- Yeah, I know that.
Doesn't make it better.
Remember that
you survived for a reason.
- God let you survive for
- No.
..a reason.
I survived because
I wasn't knocked unconscious
like the others.
That's why I survived.
That's the only reason.
Dumb luck.
They're gone and I'm not,
and I don't know why.
MUM: Oh, Pol.
NEWSREADER: A one-tonne car bomb
exploded outside the Australian
Embassy in South Jakarta
at about 10:30am today,
killing nine people,
including the suicide bomber,
and wounding
more than 150 others.
The explosion
gutted the Greek Embassy
on the 12th floor
of the adjacent building,
where three diplomats
were wounded,
damaged the nearby
Chinese Embassy
(NEWSREADER'S VOICE FADES)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(ASHTON READS) "We decided
to call Australia to account,
"which we consider one of the
worst enemies of God and Islam.
"A mujahid has carried out
a martyrdom operation
"against
the Australian Embassy."
Propaganda.
Azahari didn't succeed.
The only people killed
were Muslim Indonesians.
He's killing his own.
That will make our job easier.
My government also wants,
um, an AFP presence
front and centre
in the hunt for Azahari.
Mere is very capable.
I'm not saying he isn't.
I'm sure Australian police
would make very useful pictures
on Australian television.
But that would cause
a political problem here.
I just want him caught,
you know.
I'm, um I'm going home soon.
I've been offered a new job,
running the Office
of Police Integrity.
PASTIKA: A good job for you,
my friend.
You will do it well.
I would have liked
to have been able
to finish the job here first.
Trust me, Graham.
Mere will catch Azahari.
Thanks, Pak.
- Terima kasih, Graham.
- Terima kasih.
Well, Made, I'm still alive.
Great job.
So the, uh, doctor wants to
put breast implants in your leg?
- Mm.
- I hear that right?
Yeah.
Boobs in my legs,
to stretch the skin.
- It's weird, right? Yeah.
- Nice.
Yeah, um, did you see
the news today?
There's, um
There's been another bombing.
This time the Australian Embassy
in Jakarta.
I don't think I can ever
go back to Indonesia.
That's cool. Stay here with me.
We could, uh, get married.
Did you just propose to me?
- Nuh.
- Nuh. OK.
Yeah, I was, um,
mistaken, clearly.
Yeah. No, I think I did.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
OK.
(NIC CHUCKLES)
- Can we just walk?
- Mm-hm.
(LAUGHS) Thanks for the tree.
That's OK.

NEWSREADER: Amateur pictures
from the Indonesian island
of Bali
show the immediate aftermath
of a bomb attack
which has killed at least 25.
Three bombs
ripped through restaurants
during the busy evening period,
two on Jimbaran Beach,
the third on Kuta Beach.
The explosions came
almost exactly three years
after 202 people were killed
in an attack on two nightclubs
on the island.
They've done it again.
Many people were injured
by flying glass
It's It's like
they're hunting me.
- Pol, that's not
- No, I know
I know that it makes no sense,
but just when I thought
I could finally go back
and say goodbye properly,
I buy a fucking ticket
and they do this!
(GRIM MUSIC)
(WHISPERS) Dan.
I'm sorry.
I didn't
I couldn't save you.
I didn't even go
to Annika's funeral.
I couldn't.
I'm sorry.
(MOURNFUL MUSIC)
I wrote you letters.
So many.
We used to speak every day.
There was nothing
I could have done.
I couldn't stop it.
(MUSIC LIFTS GENTLY)

ASHTON: And away!
- (PHONE RINGS)
- Good boy.
- Hello?
- MERE: Mr Ashton, we found him.
- Mere?
- MERE: We got his number.
Traced it to him.
He won't get away this time.
Well, I hope you can
bring him in alive.

Ashton.
MERE: We got him.
Is he alive?
MERE: No.
Well, thanks for letting me
know. I appreciate it.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Graham. Congratulations.
Order of Australia.
Well deserved.
ASHTON: Thank you.
You got Azahari. Sensational.
Yeah, well, I didn't get him.
The Indonesians got him.
Whatever. Great result.
We can move on.
Who's we?
It's not over.
Jemaah Islamiyah
still has operatives out there.
Bin Laden's still out there.
Bashir's still active.
We sent them a message, Graham.
They hit us, we can hit them
twice as hard.
If they want to play
a zero-sum game,
we can give that to them.
You lied to me.
Sorry?
The government had intel
that Bali was gonna happen.
That's why the US
closed its embassy.
And then they opened
the embassy back up again.
Don't believe everything
you read, mate.
The Office of National
Assessments and ASIO
briefed the government
that Bali was a target.
We didn't have specific intel
They were so concerned,
they briefed them three times.
We get hundreds of intel reports
every day.
You could have issued a travel
advisory. The Americans did.
We don't change travel advice
based on speculation.
It wasn't speculation, mate.
It wasn't speculation.
Everywhere is
a possible target these days.
This is the world we live in.
You could have saved people.
YOU could have saved
hundreds of people.
You did a great job, Graham.
Why can't you just be happy
with that and move on?
Thank you for your service.
(GENTLE, WISTFUL MUSIC)
(MUSIC LIFTS GENTLY)
I'm very sorry.
What did we do wrong
to make the gods angry?
But what I believe is this.
There is no good without evil.
And we are here now
..to restore the balance.
We must not hold on to hate.
There is no future in that.
