Martin.
Your grandfather.
(PHONE RINGS) - Hi.
- ZOE: Where are you? Heading across town.
Catching up with family.
I think I'm being followed.
ZOE: Be careful, Kane.
I know you killed Blake, Kane.
I married Blake because I thought he could show this country a better way.
He was a beginning, but not an end.
You're that end.
I love you, Kane.
Wherever you're going tonight, the Lord is with you.
DRIVER: International departure? WOMAN: Yeah.
Oh, my God.
(DOG PANTS) (MUFFLED SHOUTING) (KNOCKS ON DOOR) It's me, mate.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR) It's me.
Open up, mate.
- (DOOR OPENS) - Hey.
- What are you doing there? - I made 'em change me room.
Why? There was a turd in the wardrobe.
- A what? - A fuckin' turd! In the wardrobe.
I'm not putting up with that shit.
Moving up in the world, eh? How are you feeling? Alright? Can't keep nothing down.
Every time I fart, I shit meself.
Did you check that account we set up for your girl? It was all there, like you said.
We're going to do it tonight.
We're going to hit Anabasis tonight.
I'm sorry, brother.
I'm sorry, mate.
Alright, where's this cunt going to be? He's chairman of an old boys' rowing club.
Fuckwits from Vancliffe College.
They're having a do tonight at the Richmond boathouse, down at the Princes Bridge, in town.
I brought you a suit, so you blend in, you know? You said the C-4 was going to be in the jacket.
Well, where's that? Didn't trust myself to set the jacket, but there's someone doing it right now.
It's someone we can trust.
Don't worry about it.
And when I drop you off, he'll be right there to give you the jacket.
It's the same charge.
It's the same trigger mechanism.
Everything we planned.
Well, how are we going to get into this club? - Won't they have a list? - Your name's Trent Appleby.
And if anybody asks you, you were coxswain with the 1980 rowing squad.
The second VIII.
I paid for your ticket.
It's being sent to this phone.
But don't put the batteries in just yet, otherwise they might track you.
Show's supposed to start at seven.
6:45, you get into your suit and follow me out there.
I'll be waiting for you in the car.
Alright? - Yeah, alright.
- I'll see you there, eh? (CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS) Can you turn it off? - It helps me think.
- Turn it off, please.
(MUSIC STOPS) Well, that's so much better.
We can talk now.
There's a car park around the corner.
We should park.
We'll make better time if we walk.
Yep.
(TYRES SQUEAL) Pronto to Buddy, all three kids outside the house.
They've turned their phones off.
Suspicious buggers, looking for trackers.
Pronto to Buddy, kids are in the car.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Copy.
Pronto to Buddy, stand-by.
Standing by, Pronto.
Kids travelling east.
(VAN DOOR SLIDES OPEN AND CLOSES) FITCH: (ON RADIO) Passing you now.
Contact moving.
MAN: (ON TV) Thanks, Ed.
Yep, it's a gorgeous, clear Friday night here in Melbourne, where the best advice is to leave that car at home, if you can.
Don't forget, it's the Hawks and the Swans at the G, and Katy Perry at the Rod Laver Arena.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS) De Luca? DE LUCA: And you thought it was gonna be a boring night at the office.
We're out for a nice drive, all of us.
Where are you? DE LUCA: We're following the Antifasc east.
MARCO: Just let me know what happens.
(STARTS ENGINE) VIC: Look at the fucking traffic.
MAGOO: Friday night in Melbourne.
Didn't you factor that in, Einstein? COMMENTATOR: Huge game of football! The Swans taking on the Hawks.
They've had a massive rivalry over the last five years.
Really looking forward to that one tonight.
Big line-up of guests too on the Friday Huddle.
Cyril Rioli joins us What's with this traffic? - Ah, it's Katy Perry.
- What?! She's playing at Etihad tonight.
Wish I was there.
Oh, and the footy's on.
And probably some fuck-up on the trains.
Not into footy, are you? Western Bulldogs.
Yeah, only since, like, 2016.
- Shut up! - (LAUGHS) - I used to play, though.
- Really?! - Yep.
- You?! - Yeah, inside mid.
- PETRA: What? Well, only up until Year 10.
Oh, yeah.
CINDI: Just push in.
PETRA: I can't.
Hey, you! Can you let us in, please? What do we get if we do? You get to feel like a nice person.
Fuck that! Show us your tits.
Oy, yeah! Lovely.
(HONKS HORN) Go.
Go.
Thank you.
Hey, what's this dickhead doing? Eh! We didn't let you go in, mate! I didn't show them anything.
You are a fucking legend.
Where are you now? Heading north on Porter.
It's bumper to bumper.
Visual's all we got.
They turned their phones off.
Call me at the destination.
LAILA: Should we wait? He said he wouldn't be here until eight, didn't he? Yeah.
Let's stick to the plan.
Can you put some music on? No, mate.
- Make a left up ahead.
- Then what? Take the back streets.
Dump the car in the gardens.
DE LUCA: Pronto to Buddy.
What's happening? WOMAN: She's turning left up ahead, mate.
We're running straight to the next left, which is - Toorak Road.
- That's right.
Pronto, you're on your own for a while, mate.
DE LUCA: Roger that, Buddy.
(TURNS ENGINE OFF) This is as close as I can get.
Fucking cameras everywhere.
Go around to your right on the promenade.
About 50 metres down there'll be a heavy-set bloke leaning on the railing there.
Your jacket will be next to him.
The trigger's in the right-hand pocket, as we planned.
Don't forget the phone.
Don't forget the phone, 'cause your invite's in it.
- Are you right? - The fucking pain's come back.
Like a fucking drill in me head.
I'm glad I'm going tonight.
I just want this to end.
I know, mate.
I was gonna neck meself anyway.
I want to talk to my daughter.
(WEEPS) You can't do that, mate.
I want to talk to her! You know you can't do that, mate.
I don't even know if she loves me.
Of course she does.
She's been worried sick about you.
You tell her I love her more than anything.
- Of course I will, mate.
- Anything! Of course I will.
The pain's going .
.
just a bit.
Ooh! OK.
Better do this while I can.
You say hello to Hando from me.
I will.
I love you, brother.
Sorry to see you go, mate.
And you remember me.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) Eh! Magoo! Go round to your right.
Sorry, man.
(SINISTER, DISCORDANT MUSIC) - The river's this way.
- It's a permit zone.
I don't give a shit.
Free parking come the revolution, eh? Yeah, we've got about two grand in unpaid fines.
PETRA: Come on! (MOBILE PHONE RINGS) MARCO: De Luca.
DE LUCA: We're on Linlithgow in - (LOUD CRASH!) - DE LUCA: Shit! What the fuck was that? DE LUCA: Some moron pulled out in front of us.
We're hit.
I'll call back.
Just wait there.
Girls, just wait there.
- Why don't you look? - Why don't you, fucker?! - (GRUNTS) - Jesus Christ! Get down! Down! WOMAN: Back off! - DE LUCA: Are you OK? - Get down on your knees.
Yep.
Are you alright? The prick stabbed me.
Move again, I'll fucking shoot you.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS) What's going on? Got into a scrap with some rock apes.
I got cut, Barker's bleeding.
Holding four here.
Our night's done.
- Well, where are the kids? - Parked a hundred metres back.
Headed on foot into Victoria Gardens.
They looked like they were on a mission.
Shit! Can B team pick it up? He's got caught in Toorak Road.
Could be half an hour.
Well, which direction did the kids take? - North-east.
- North-east? There's nothing there.
Skate park, the river, boathouses.
Don't sound much like a fun anarchist date to me.
Right, check in later, get yourselves patched up.
Yeah, go Hawks.
GIRL: Come on, Dad.
We'll miss the bounce! MARCO: Hang on.
Oh, shit! Alright, girls, something's come up.
I'm gonna get your Aunty Lucy to pick you up on the street here under light tower six, OK? You got your tickets? OK.
I'll see you at home.
Yeah, Lucy, I need a favour.
I've gotta go to work Fuckwit.

This is who the system serves.
If they haven't fucked you over, they're going to.
We didn't come here to have a party.
Just getting some payback from the system.
MAGOO: How you goin'? - You alright, mate? - Yeah.

Go up and see if anyone remembers Trent from the 1980 squad.
No, that's alright.
It looks like a pretty big crowd up there.
Someone I know will rock up here pretty soon.
OK.

I got cancer, man.
Look at me.

Well just think about it.
Back in a minute.

You, me and Farid.

You'll ruin my brother's life.
George! Sorry to interrupt.
Do you want to speak now? - Sure.
- Over here, mate.

It is my pleasure to announce that we have raised $100,000.
