Hiding (2015) s01e06 Episode Script

This is Lincoln Swift.
He's the resident expert in Crim Psy.
I've got a scheduling problem.
I was hoping you might cover for me, run my tutorial.
Anxiety.
- What are we celebrating? - Birthday.
Yours? My daughter's.
Trust me on this one, OK? You don't call Queensland for now, alright? Just don't call anyone north of the Harbour Bridge.
I just need to see a CV.
Gold Coast Private.
I worked there with Ash Adamo.
Maree! It's really you.
Whoa! You've been following me, you little prick! I was concerned for Maree! Have you slept with her? Once! Only once! These are Kos's connections in Sydney - names, addresses.
What happened to, 'My friend Kos would never hurt me'? Fuck that.
He tried to have me killed.
You do not tell Bec.
It'll break her heart.
Your brother-in-law is out there saying God knows what to God knows who.
I'm onto it.
I'm taking steps.
Danny Stolz, one of the men who attacked you in prison.
Yeah? He's escaped.
Fuck's sake, Kos, it's me.
Yeah, copy that.
I'm out.
Lights.
Oh.
Computer.
Microphone.
Hello? Hello.
USB thing.
Lincoln? Ow! Er, Jacq mentioned you were filling in, so I thought I'd touch base.
Got the file here.
And not working? What's the problem? I don't know.
Projector.
Oh! Hey, look at that! All good? Yeah.
Yeah, great.
Er, what then? Then away you go.
Alright.
It's on the slides.
Just read whatever comes up on the slides.
You've done this a million times.
Just a bit rusty.
Kind of different set-up where I come from.
Oh? Where is that? Where were you before this? Canada.
No! I did six months at McGill.
I did a few months in Brisbane Correctional.
- It's a joke.
That's a joke.
- Oh You are quite atypical to the average academic.
Cheers.
Thanks for stepping in.
Oh, one more thing - forget about all that stress, anxiety stuff.
This week is all about deception.
What?! My lecture was on deception, so that's your topic.
But I've already done all that reading - the depression scale, the notes on anxiety, and all that stuff about post-traumatic stress disorder.
Like, I really got into that big-time! I presume you were already across most of it.
You know it's not just victims of crime that suffer post-traumatic stress thingo, it's perpetrators as well.
I have read that, yes.
People who commit crimes, they get freaked out.
Well, I hope this topic inspires you in a similar way.
Deception.
Lies, lie detection, polygraphs.
It's pretty fun.
Yeah, but it's not what I signed up for! Oh, excuse me, Dr Ulrich.
Harriet! You've met Lincoln Swift.
Uh, yeah.
One of our post docs.
Yeah, yeah.
You came to one of our tutorials, or half of it.
He's running the tute this week.
Harriet is one of our top students.
I'll read it.
I'll read it.
Hello? Oh, delicious! Oh, my God, Cooper Smith made out with Caitlin, May's baby sister.
She's, like, 13 or something! Yeah, yeah, I wanna make out.
Can we? Me too.
It's a bit difficult.
I don't even know where you are.
Right here.
Yeah.
Where's 'here'? I can't tell you.
You know that.
Should you even be calling me? I thought you weren't supposed to.
Nah, it's OK.
It's not my phone.
Just, um say you want it.
Huh? Tell me how much you want it.
Mitch Say it! Yeah, if you ever come back here.
I said I'm coming back as soon as I get organised.
Money and stuff.
Hello? Mitch, I wanna be unstuck! What? Are you dumping me? I'm sorry! I just I can't handle this whole thing.
Yes, you can.
You you loved it.
Remember in the hotel room It was goodbye sex! Goodbye sex? What does that even mean? Mitch, I have to go! No, wait, Kelly, Kelly Who are you, exactly? Friend or foe? Oh, Elicia's a friend from school.
You're Tara's grandad? No, I'm her spiritual advisor.
Oh, Mum, is that alright if I stay at Elicia's house tomorrow night for rehearsal? Why? What's happening? We're performing, remember? For speech night this Sunday.
Speech night? That's not this week.
Yeah, it is.
I told you about it.
You have to be there.
We're both in Drama Group.
Oh, good for you! Well, get your mum to call me.
Oh, Elicia's dad is Jeff Felton.
He's a minister in the Government.
Nobody's perfect.
Excuse me? Tara's had to struggle too, in spite of her parents.
Alright, Warwick, why don't you go and have a little lie-down? A lie-down? What am I - a labrador? I'll make you a drink - a special.
Woof, woof! Mum said Tara's totally welcome.
Totally get her to call me.
You're giving Warwick alcohol.
If it shuts him up, absolutely! That'll be $10.
You said five.
The price fluctuates.
Market forces.
Unless you wanna explain I was prank-calling a friend.
Can't do it off my phone.
Who? No-one you'd know.
Don't tell Tara.
That costs extra.
You have to make us some fake IDs.
What for? Tara says you're good at it.
Hey, Mr Swift! We've met at school.
I'm Elicia.
Babe, is that you? Yeah, it's me! Your dad is hot.
Seriously.
All the problems of the criminal justice system might be solved if only we could find an accurate way to identify liars.
Types of lies - outright lies, exaggerations, subtle lies, withholding truth, question mark.
What you doing? This uni thing.
I've gotta get my head around it.
The fake lecture? No, it's not fake.
It's a tute.
I thought you had it all sorted.
They changed the topic on me.
It's now about deception.
Psychology of lying.
Well, you'd know all about that.
I do? Yeah, you and me both.
What? You're probably right.
Babe, you're lying about being qualified to give a lecture about lying! That's fucking awesome! It's a tutorial, not a lecture.
Oh, good-o.
Hey, did you see Tara brought a friend home? What's with that? I mean, did she ask you? She never mentioned it to me.
Yeah, I said it'd be OK.
To bring people here to the safe house? It's our HOUSE house now.
We've gotta let her be a bit normal.
Besides, her friend is, um What's his name? Ted Shelton's daughter.
Who? He's in Parliament.
It's good! She's in with a good crowd.
Are you OK? You've been weird for days.
Yeah, yeah.
Just worried about the tute.
Oh, babe! You'll smash it.
You know you will.
I'm so proud of you.
Yeah? Yep? Hey, write down this number.
What? What time is it? I don't fucking know - Hammertime.
Hurry.
Oh fuck! I don't have a pen.
Well, just tap it into your phone.
Uh, I think I'm gonna have to hang up in order to do that.
Are you serious? Can't you just text it to me? Stolz, for Christ's sake! Alright, alright! Looking for one.
Alright, shoot.
0491 570 161.
It's linked to a Ran Tan account, according to the profile.
Ran Tan's an app, Stolz.
The kids use it to hook up.
Hey, I know what it is.
I use it.
Yeah, course you do.
Kos? Kos? He was definitely here somewhere.
I'd say we missed him by minutes.
Lincoln? Danny Stolz.
What about him? Well, you gave me the list - possible Kos connections down here.
One of them checks out, the one in Matraville, so we went and kicked in the door and we found a love note left on the table.
'Dear cops, Danny has left the bill-dig, ha, ha, get fuched.
' Is it 'fuched' or 'fooshed'? There's no guide to pronunciation.
So, Stolz is still here somewhere.
That is exactly what we just said.
Where else would he go, apart from the nearest spelling bee? If I knew, I'd be there now and I'd deal with it myself.
It's quarter to, Pinder.
I gotta go.
Nah, let's talk about Kos, and Dargaville Road, and Garrett Toop.
We've been over that! Go over it again, because now you've had your little family reunion with Kos, I think we can reassess.
Oh, yeah, I've gotta go! No, you don't! Sit down and let's talk this through.
No, I have to be somewhere! Where? I'm giving a tutorial.
Oh! Jacq asked me to cover.
It's cash in hand! Oh, I Today we are talking about deception.
And, er, how it .
.
how it relates to forensic, um Oh, the slide.
Types of lies and deception.
Be behavioural indicators of Content indicators, and that Oi! Sit down, shut up! Everyone, phones away! Get your notebooks out! Detection of deception! Alright! Where it says 'content indicators' Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
I'm sorry, can we just can we just do it in the right order? First off, types of lies and deception.
Everyone knows what a lie is, yes? Hello? A lie must include two components - one, the intention to mislead the victim of the lie, and two, the victim must not be informed of the deception That .
.
that's taking place.
.
.
is the definition.
Give me some examples.
Lying to the police Yep! .
.
about a crime.
What else? Come on, guys.
It's not that hard.
From the moment you're born.
You know, your mum's like, 'Oh, he's perfect.
' Your dad's going around telling everyone you're a genius.
They're lying.
They're lying to you, they're lying to themselves.
Then it's all these little fibs, you know, to make you feel better.
To make themselves feel better while they're changing your nappy and cleaning up your vom-vom, wrecking your life! If only we could keep it to those little fibs, just at that level.
Anyway.
- Hello? - I'm going to the police.
Ash? What I'm calling the police about Troy.
Most police officers reckon they can tell when someone's lying - you know, the person's acting twitchy, they're not making eye contact.
Turns out most coppers get it wrong, you know? They'd be better off flipping a coin.
They'd get it right more often.
Ekman Ekman talks about leakages - sweating, blinking, raised pitch of voice.
Yeah, well, good luck with that.
But in Dr Ulrich's notes, it says Yeah, yeah, I think that's just bullshit.
A good liar is your friend, your best friend.
Your wife.
How can you tell? You can have all the theory you like, you're still fucked.
What happened? Your husband knows about us.
Beat my head in, threatened to kill me.
Next lie! The screen's not turning on.
Um It's crashed.
I can see that.
I'll just I'll get Hang on.
Can I ask about statement validity assessment? Sorry, what? SVA.
In terms of criteria-based content analysis Yeah, do you wanna give me a minute? I think it's the projector.
OK, I'm rebooting.
I just don't understand why we get the criteria.
It doesn't seem to make sense Hello? Hey, blondie, front row, on the phone! You wanna stay on the phone, then get out! No, guys, guys, come on.
Get back inside.
We're not finished yet.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bark at you.
It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Have we met? We have.
Lincoln, this is Xan.
I have to go.
Hey! Whoa, whoa! Lincoln, whoa! Hey, can we talk? Lincoln! What is wrong with you? Well, who is she? How do you know her? Xan! Xan, wait! It was like he was gonna kill me, he really was, and then I confessed and his whole demeanour changed, and he just walked away.
Maybe he just wanted the truth.
Oh, right, so it's a purely ethical thing with Troy, is it? A moral inquiry.
Should you be doing that? It's medicinal.
My stomach can't handle prescription painkillers.
Troy - he's under a lot of stress.
Stress? From what? The Triads undercutting him? Ash Stress is for normal people, Maree! Parking fines, incompetent bosses.
Normal people, when stressed, don't try and kill other people.
We had a baby when I was 15 years old.
Actually, I'd turned 16, just.
Is that, er, Mitchell? Brianna.
Little girl.
We gave her up for adoption.
Troy and I were split up, supposedly, so .
.
my dad arranged it.
Oh, Jesus.
She's made contact - Brianna.
She called my mum.
What - is that what Troy's so stressed about? He doesn't know about it - about the phone call, I mean.
I haven't told him.
But you will.
I mean, you know, you have to.
Troy, he has a right to know Oh, what am I saying?! The guy's a psychopath.
I'm pretty sure he thought you were someone else.
Oh, well, that makes it all OK, does it, Maree?! The guy is violent! Has he been violent with you? What?! No! Alright, no, that's it.
Ash! I'm calling the cops.
Ash, just Guy needs to be locked away.
.
.
give me the phone.
Can you chill out? Can you just Hey, please, please? Just can you chill out, please, for my sake? Tara! Mmm? One fake identity's not enough for you? Huh? Your bestie hit me up for fake IDs.
Look, we just want to go out like normal adults.
Well, you're not either of those things.
Mitch, everyone goes to Club Pyro.
Everyone.
Look, come if you want.
Invite Garys.
Why Garys? I don't know - even numbers? I'm just trying to get this clear - you broke the projector, disagreed with my notes, dropped the 'F' bomb mid-lecture.
That's just some of what I'm hearing! No, no, it was fine.
It was all under control.
You took a cigarette break! I mean, I find that, frankly, astonishing, never mind that smoking is completely banned I never even I was illustrating a point.
What about the point where you said my notes were, quote, bullshit, unquote? And can I just say on that topic, Paul Ekman's work vis-a-vis lie detection is ground-breaking Yeah, I get it, I get it, OK? Listen, I need Harriet's phone number.
What? Harriet what's-her-name, your student.
I need to talk to her.
I want to apologise.
Hello.
This is Julianne Fenton here.
We'd really love to have Tara to stay, so please let her come.
Bye! So, you really couldn't get your mum to call? She's busy.
She'll forget.
Oh! Look at this.
Eugh! It's a random! He's kind of hot! We've been texting.
Well, can he get us into Pyro? I'm kidding.
Why not? Can you get us in Great! We're gonna end up with some sleazebag stalking us.
Oooh, good times! First you throw me out of a lecture Yeah, I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! Tell me about your friend.
Who is she? Why? Because I need to know.
It's part of a research project I'm doing.
I do outreach work for my social science strand.
Say it again in English.
I visit brothels, interface with sex workers, health and welfare? She's a hooker? Sex worker.
Well, how do you know her? It's it's a long story.
Where does she work? The Blue Cerise in town.
I only met her a few days ago.
I went in and I handed out a few pamphlets and then got turfed out by management.
They're not exactly social worker-friendly, and she rings me this morning out of the blue.
She says she's on campus and she's freaking out! Why? Why? What's the problem? I'm not sure! You turned up and freaked her out even more! Can I ask you something? Are you a cop? Undercover? Why why would you say that? Because you're the weirdest tutor ever! Hey! I'm a good tutor.
Hey! You skipping this period? This mime and movement, Garys, you suck at that.
You'd know.
You drove off? Seriously? Left me in some random shitsville burger park? I had to.
OK, I I didn't It got weird with Kelly, and Dad, and then it was too dangerous to go to the airport, so we I had to go there! Well, they weren't looking for you.
They? What if THEY had seen me talking to your dad? Well, no-one did, so just You're Mitchell Quigg.
Your dad's Troy Quigg Shut up! I ran a search.
Garys He got busted Garys, Garys.
Please.
Get on your knees.
What? I keep your secret, I should get something.
Oral pleasure.
Go! Come on.
No! Hey.
Who ate all the Cheesy Nibblets? I don't know.
Where are the kids? We had a whole boxful! Oh! Someone's stolen it! Mmm, um Um, Tara's at the politician's house and Mitchell's at a movie night.
What - is he a film buff now? Is that like chess club? They're surfing movies.
We can't ground him forever.
Yes, we can.
Why not? Well, he deserves a break.
They both do.
Oh, and it's, um it's, um .
.
speech night on Sunday, don't forget.
Are you stoned? No.
Not really.
Where the hell did you get I found it.
Listen I heard you met Ash.
Who? You know who.
Doctor? Oh, yeah.
Seems like a nice guy I had a thing with him.
It was a while back.
I was working heaps.
You just lost your job at Ray's.
You were angry all the time I don't need the details.
I'm just trying to explain.
Well, I don't wanna know! It's one thing that you .
.
but you contact him down here! I didn't mean to! I ran into him You went looking for him! I did not! I I don't know anyone here.
It's not like I can just ring home.
So you rang Dr Fuck Buddy.
Look, things will get better, OK I rang Mum.
You're an uncle.
What? Dim and Kos had a little boy.
They named him Jackson Jay.
You rang Queensland? I rang from a payphone.
I spoke to Mum for a minute, that's it! There's no way that they could have traced the call.
It was just a one-off.
I had to know.
You don't even discuss it with me! Yeah, 'cause you would have freaked out! Well, yeah! I miss my family! I could have not told you, I could have kept it to myself.
Listen, I have to tell you what Mum No, you don't! Babe, Troy, please Troy? Lincoln! Lincoln is my name! Brianna rang! She spoke to Mum.
She wants to meet us.
Well, uh Hang on.
Lincoln! Hey.
Talk to you later.
Lincoln, tell me you didn't.
What? Tell me that you and tutorials are two entirely separate concepts.
Come on! It really wasn't that bad.
Are you trying to get me sacked? No! Jacq asked me to cover.
I couldn't exactly say no.
Yeah, you could've.
That's exactly what you could've said, Lincoln - no.
I would have looked like a fraud.
As opposed to the seasoned academic that you really are? Lincoln, you can't do that, and certainly not without consulting me first.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, OK? But it really it wasn't that bad, most of it.
You know, I did the reading and I get the theory, in spite of what Isaac thinks.
You know, I get and understand exactly what emotional leakage is.
Leakage? Oh, God! It's clues to reading people.
Reading their emotions and figuring out if they're lying.
I'm acquainted with the concept, Lincoln.
Well, it's really it's not that hard.
I just can't believe people get all this time to think up that shit.
Oh! Sorry.
That's rude.
My bad.
No.
I like it.
I want it on a T-shirt.
You wear T-shirts? In the privacy of my own home.
Ferdine, can I ask - why are you doing this? Helping me hide.
I'm doing it as a favour to Pinder.
Big favour.
You must like him.
Well, I married him.
You're his wife.
Not anymore.
I think he's got a new one of those somewhere.
Well, why wouldn't he tell me? Ask him.
I have a meeting.
So, if you two don't get in, then what? We'll get in.
I'll bet you.
I'll bet you anything you like.
Oh, my God, it's Ade Gathercole from Celebrity Bad Boy.
What's he famous for? Football.
Except he was sacked from every club.
He likes to party.
- Hey, mate.
- Sorry, boys.
It's not gonna happen.
Nah, we got ID, man.
Cute picture.
Still not happening.
Are you serious? No, Tara! Tara! Are you serious? Yeah, man.
Deadly serious.
We did it! What about Mitch? He's fine.
We have to go back for him.
No, we can't leave ever! I'll get drinks.
They're not leaving.
Well, no.
Would you? I'm here to look for a girl.
Her name's Xan.
She works here.
She's about this tall, dark hair.
Xan.
Do you know her? OK, hang on.
Can we just talk? Well, maybe she works under a different name.
No idea, but you saw all the girls.
You pick me.
You walk out now, you'll put me into trouble.
Whoa! And cheers to me.
You're wasted.
Maybe a little.
Oooh, guacamole.
Hey.
You want a deep black - BLACK - gotta drill right down to the bone.
Know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Hey, Tee! Teeyonce, come see this! Where is Tee? Hey, sweetheart.
Hello? Mum, can you hear me? What's going on? I just I think I'm a bit sick.
Why? What's the matter? I don't know.
I don't feel too Tara? Tara? Hello? Hi.
You've called Tara Elizabeth Swift.
Please leave a message and I'll get straight back to you.
Thanks.
Bye! What's up? Oh, it's Tara.
She's at the Obamas', yeah? Yep.
She said she's feeling sick.
I'll go get her.
I'll drive.
What's the address of the place? I I don't know.
They're not listed anywhere.
Well, what did she actually say? I I couldn't really hear her.
I've already called her.
Her phone's off.
Well, what about Elicia's mother? You spoke to her? Yeah, well, she left a message.
What? I've had a bit of a day, you know? Tara, where are you? Hi.
I'm at an apartment.
An apartment?! Where? Um, in Darling Harbour, I think.
You lied about Elicia's.
Sweetheart? Tell me you're alright.
Dad, I'm really, really sorry.
Just tell me you're alright.
Who are you with? Um, Elicia and some friends.
Whose place is it? Uh, Ade Gathercole's.
You know, the footballer.
We're in his apartment.
Dad? Hey, who you talking to? Shh! Look, I'm talking to my dad.
Give me the address.

Elicia? Hey, Elicia.
Elicia? Elicia.
Come on, get up.
My dad's coming to get us.
Do I get to meet him? Um, I need to text him the address.
Elicia, get up.
Get up, please! Come on! Nah, she's just having a snooze.
Here - drink this.
I have no idea where I'm going.
Darling Harbour, she said.
Yeah, but a street name would be helpful.
So, they're not at Elicia's? Some guy's apartment.
Ade Gathercole.
Oh, fuck! They're at a gang rape party! I met him once, through Nils.
Wannabe gangster.
I'll go in and get her.
When did Tara become this? Mum, honestly, it's fine.
I can just catch a taxi or something.
Forget it.
We're almost there.
Mum, there's no need, honestly.
I'm fine.
Tell me the address now! Sydney Wharf Rd, 14/44.
What's the nearest cross street? You sound like the pizza delivery guy.
Shaneen! Tara! And I don't know what it is, OK? OK, well, go downstairs and wait by the front door.
Tee-Bo! Hey, Elicia? Leesh? Hey, come on, let's go get some water.
Hey No, no, come on, let her sleep it off.
Here, I'll roll her on her side.
So, what about you, Tara? Where did you grow up? Do you come from around here? I come from Perth.
Perth! That's the city of churches, isn't it? Yeah.
Nah! That's Adelaide.
Are you gonna sit down? Uh, look, no, I really need to get my friend Shh, shh, shh! You gotta relax.
Just gotta let go of that tension.
Perth? That's the city on the lake, isn't it? Um, I didn't take notice.
You're not much of a lake person? - What is she doing? - I don't know.
I'll try her again.
Oh! She's alright, she's coming down.
She's coming down.
One minute.
Surfers Paradise, but ten times the price.
What? Listen, about before Yeah.
No.
So long as it's over.
I'm talking about Brianna! Oh.
She wants to meet us.
What did she say? I don't know exactly.
'Hi.
I'm your long-lost granddaughter.
' Where where is she? She's here in Sydney.
Serious? I think so.
I don't know.
Mum said that she was being cagey.
I want to set up a phone call first, just you and me.
Yeah, don't.
Don't.
Not yet.
It could be a trap.
You think my mum wants to get you clipped?! No, but maybe She's the only one that knows.
Your brother knew all about Kos doesn't know that she's surfaced! Mum hasn't told anyone - and anyway, he's my brother! He he's not gonna hurt me or my family.
You reckon? Yeah, I reckon! No matter what you think! He got me stabbed, Maree.
I know it Bullshit! .
.
for a fact! Bullshit! That was Nils.
Your brother is the one who tried to have me killed.
That's who we're running from.
Kos.
Hey! Hey! Hey! I don't care I don't care if it's a trap.
I wanna go anyway! I wanna go see her! I know.
I know.
Let's go find our youngest.
Yeah, find her so I can strangle her.
Hi.
You've reached Tara No answer.
Bugger this! I'll knock on every door if I have to.
No, I got it, I got it.
You stay here.
Well, what about what's-his-face - Gathercole? I got it.
Elicia, we have to go.
Come on.
Hey! Hey! Hey, get up! Ow! Ow! Sorry! Shh! Is this real life or fantasy? Move it! Get up! Wait, wait, wait! I feel dizzy.
Hold my arm.
Hey! You right there, mate? Yeah, mate.
I'm just here to collect some friends.
And who are you? I'm John.
How you going? You're Ade.
Yeah.
Dad! You OK? Hey! Hey.
You OK? Yeah.
I wanna show you something.
Look at the view.
View? Yeah, the view.
Go! Go, go, go! Wait! Fuck! Someone open the door! I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry.
You are gonna be middle-aged before you're let out again.
Eugh.
She OK? I don't know! Oh, I get to clean her up, do I? Don't look at me.
Come on.
Yeah, you just hang back, babe.
You relax! Don't move.
Don't do anything stupid.
Engine on, drive slow out that exit there.
Go on! Danny Stolz, yeah? Daniel to you, Troy Quigg.
Can I just ask Shut up.
I just want you to explain No, no fucking explanations.
Just drive.
Drive slow.
Don't speak.
Those bathrooms are disgusting.
They are now.
Wait, what the hell? Pinder? It's happened! They've got him! Troy - they've got him! Just wait inside and I'll get someone there.
Troy? You wanna know why I ran? Just shut up and drive! Because my friends, who I protected, were trying to kill me I don't care! Where's Dad? I don't know.
Are you sure you weren't seen? This is gonna blow up big-time if you don't find him.
It's not my fault, Mum.
Whose fault was it?! I didn't realise!
