So this is it.
Our our lives come down to one phone conversation between a reformed gangster and a demented drug lord.

Everything just feels all wrong.
What's really eating your Gilbert Grapes, Helen? Hey.
Helen, I'm sorry.
I need your help.
Actually, mate, this is Mr.
Helen, and I'd appreciate it if you kept your big Scottish nose or whatever it is that you are, out of our business.
All right? Miss Chambers doesn't want anything to do with you.
He sounded really upset.
That's not your problem now, sweet pea.
He said he needed my help.
Look, we talked about this.
Stay in your lane.
I'm I'm sorry.
I have to call him back.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? We've only got this place for another 20 minutes.
Look, I know I'm not a proper police officer, but I'm all he has.
If you make that call, we're done.
What? If you loved me the way that you say you do, you you wouldn't have to keep threatening me.
You promised.
This isn't you.
You don't know me, Ethan.
I mean, not really, because Because if you did, you'd know that this isn't who I am anymore.
This is just some place the wind blew me.
I am not the same person that I was yesterday.
I I am not the same person that I was before I met Elliot Stanley.
Calm down, okay? People will think you're having another "episode.
" You know what? Why don't you do me a favour? And go and fuck yourself, Ethan.
Take something large and ridged and go and fuck yourself, you ridiculous human being! Sorry about that.
Um, are you okay? I need you to come and get me.
What's going on? Everything I touch turns to shit.
I can't I can't take it anymore.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
I need help.
I don't know who else to call.
It's okay, I'm here, whatever's happened.
Luci's fuck.
Luci's dead.
Where are you? Kosta? He's dead.
Listen up.
We haven't met, but I'm the husband of the woman you've got in there.
Let me inside and we'll talk.
It's about the money.
Stop there.
What's this? It's got my piss in it.
Ugh.
Okay.
Where's the money? Are you okay? I'm fine.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
You see this, right? And they waltzed, and they stepped arm in arm, straight into Straight into the beast.
All right, I'm sorry, Lachlan, but we're gonna need you take us through that again one more time.
Of course.
I went to the Dusty Moon Motel in Kalura.
That's where I met Elliot Stanley.
And then, uh, Sergeant Lemon showed up wanting to help, and, uh And Probationary Constable Helen Chambers took my gun and shot him.
Uh, she just walked right up.
She said that she'd been tracking Stanley as well, and next thing, she had my weapon, um I had no idea they were working together.
Uh, they made me put Lemon in the boot of my car and, uh, we drove to the back of beyond.
When we showed up at the Stone Men, it all went to hell.
Uh, Luci Miller arrives, and, uh, I don't know her angle, but she's got multiple passports and identities.
And, uh, well, it turns out, there's a whole lot of money buried at these Stone Men, um the three of them get to arguing, and soon enough the shooting starts.
No honour among thieves, right? Place was a bloodbath.
I manage to get away, and, uh here we are.
You're aware Constable Chambers has a different version of events.
Oh, I'm well aware.
That must be why she stayed behind while I was at the Stone Men so she could lie her arse off So she could lay this whole shit show on me.
Let me ask you this.
Did Constable Chambers talk about her relationship with Elliot Stanley? What do you mean? A copper at Kalura Creek spotted the two of them.
I got him to do a bit more digging, and, uh well, it turns out the proprietors of Casa del Nacho in Kalura are the paranoid type.
She's looking real cozy with a suspected murderer there, wouldn't you say? I mean, does that look like a a hostage situation to you? Look at my work, what I've given this place.
You're gonna believe what some hick out of Cooper Springs says about me? I'm sorry you had to go through this.
Local council is expected to issue fire warnings, and why? Due to all the drier conditions at some point tomorrow.
- Hello? - Winds will continue to swing between southeast and southwest for much of Friday.
And finally, a warning for those out on the East Coast.
Prepare for some stormy skies ahead.
Thank you.
Hilary.
Thanks, Kevin.
And now for today's top story.
A police officer is wanted for murder along with this man, whose identity has yet to be officially confirmed.
- Hello? - Yeah, just give me a second.
Stock check.
Sorry.
Okay, it's just I'm kind of in a rush.
I'm ready when I'm ready, love.
So just keep your knickers on.
It's private for now, but it is being reported that the deceased officer was working with highly-decorated Major Crime Inspector, Lachlan Rogers, who we spoke with earlier today.
I know you in the media all like a catchy headline, so I can see the "Bonnie and Clyde" thing, but, uh, let's not romanticise this, uh, these two are very dangerous.
We've got a police constable here with that training, and, uh, I would encourage everyone to be vigilant and, uh, to keep their eyes open.
Police are urging people to come forward if they see Probationary Constable Chambers or this man.
I'm sorry for calling.
I I I didn't know.
I'm really sorry.
What now? I guess you haven't seen the news.
We're wanted for murder.
What the fuck? It's Lachlan Rogers.
He's he's got everybody turned around.
This isn't That's not what happened.
I'll explain.
I'll explain everything.
I'll tell them you had nothing to do with it.
I'll I'll tell them it was me.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure they're not just gonna take your word for it.
I mean, you're not exactly mister believe-the-word-of guy.
I know that woman I keep seeing.
Lena Pascal.
She's in Adelaide.
Greenlanes.
Whatever the fuck that means.
- Guess I'm never gonna find out.
- Wait, how do you know that? I saw these, um, pieces of my life, of who I was or how I got here.
Like memories, I suppose, but I can't believe them.
They were all inside out, just fucking weird.
You know who I worked for? This Kosta guy.
I was his accountant.
- Really? - What was I thinking? Why did I do that? Well, you must've had your reasons.
It'd be nice to know what they were.
Well, I I should report this.
I thought you said nobody would believe us.
They won't.
And then we'll both take the fall for something that we didn't do.
It's really Unfair? Yeah.
I don't like unfairness.
Me neither.
So what exactly do we do now? We get further away, um, and then we call in with the location of Luc Where she is.
We can't just leave her out there.
And then? And then we find a way to prove Lachlan's lying.
How? I'm I'm working on it.
That simple, huh? Do you think you're a good person, Helen? For what it's worth, I think you are.
I mean, all you've done is try to help me, and I just keep dragging you down.
Actually, if it wasn't for you, I'd still be getting married.
Mr.
Ethan Krum? Is no more.
He's not dead.
He's just you know.
This is the new me now.
Life after Ethan.
New chapter.
Holy crumpets.
- That was a short chapter.
- Yeah.
Just pull over and I'll explain that it was me.
- That it was my fault.
- It's too late for that.
Just just pull over.
That's the old Helen, okay? This this is the new Helen.
So what are we gonna do, new Helen? Buckle up.
And forgive me, 'cause I'm about to bend my rules on the speed limit.
Rogers.
Where? You sure it's Constable Chambers' car? Okay.
I want everything on this.
Everything.
Do not let the fuckers get away.
Oh, God.
Shit.
Wait, how How fast were you going when you came out of the Dusty Moon Motel? - When you were with Lachlan.
- Fast? How how fast and And which way did you go? Left? I think.
I don't know.
- Why? - Okay.
Throw your weapons out of the vehicle.
Okay, um, we we need to buy some time.
I need I need time.
- How much? - Like, an hour or two.
I I think I have an idea.
You're gonna think I'm fucking mental.
What are they doing? Let's go.
- Right, I know you're all - We're gonna need - trying to enjoy your lunch - Everyone to remain calm.
- You you you go.
- Oh, no, no, no, you go.
You go.
No, you go.
- Are are you sure? - Yeah, really.
Okay.
Yeah, um, okay.
So look, we don't want to hurt anyone.
Pick up the phone, and I'll blow your fucking head off! Another step, and I will shoot people dead.
Back off.
Back off! - Okay.
- Back off! Okay, um, we're not here to cause anyone any harm.
- Just sit down - If you don't do what I say - and this will be over soon.
- I'm gonna start shooting.
Rogers.
Okay, I'm on my way.
Just remember.
Helen Chambers and Elliot Stanley are dangerous.
If you get a clear shot, I want you to take it.
Go! Go! How quick can you get them to me? Yeah, no, I know.
It's just Well, it's kind of urgent here.
Look, if there's nothing, there's nothing, but I just have to hope I'm right.
No one fires until my order.
Copy that.
- Yep.
- My name's Nathan Wong.
I've been asked to come speak to you today, see what we can do here.
You've seen the news? They're calling you Bonnie and Clyde.
No, never saw it.
Unless it's the one where the guy and the girl hold up a Spicy Wings and then they walk away unhurt and actually get a reward for being the victims of a gross miscarriage of justice? I like you.
- You're funny.
- Okay.
I'm talking to Elliot Stanley, right? Can I call you Elliot? Knock yourself out.
Okay, now, listen up there, Elliot.
- What we're gonna need - No, no, no, no, no.
You're not the one calling the shots here.
You listen to me, Nathan Wong.
Here's the deal.
What's the deal? The deal is, we need more time.
- Yeah.
- You need to ask them for something.
Anything.
Okay, here's the deal.
Ask them for something you actually want.
What do you want? I need you to find someone for me.
You bring them here to Devil's Rock, and then this all ends.
Her name's Lena Pascal.
She's in Adelaide.
Greenlanes.
I don't know if that's a shop or a place, or that's all I know.
Elliot, I need you to listen to me now.
- It's gonna ta - No, you You listen to me.
Do what I say, or I start shooting.
- No, he won't.
- I mean it, Nathan.
If people try to move in here, I will shoot their fucking brains out.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
He won't, okay? What're you doing? Well, I don't want to scare people.
If they don't think we're being serious, they'll just get up and leave.
Then we'll be arrested, and this whole thing Okay, but You wouldn't actually kill anyone, would you? No, I mean no, but, you know, maybe I'd shoot them in the legs or something.
You want to put someone in a wheelchair? No, I don't I don't want to, but We don't We don't want to hurt you, all right? We don't wanna kill you.
Um But I am prepared to shoot you in the legs, all right? And, look, I've never been shot in the legs before, but I'd I'd say it's probably not that great of an experience, so, um thank you.
She'll call.
Where we at? You know, I um, I remembered something else about, uh, about us.
- Us? - Yeah.
That night at the Dusty Moon when we, um It's over, Elliot.
Soon as you get a clear shot, you hear me? Yes, sir.
Yeah? Thought we could talk on a private line.
Guess who.
What exactly do you hope to achieve here? Well, you know, it's nice just to see your face, but, um, Lena Pascal.
What about her? You got her yet? Yeah, seems Nathan Wong doesn't mess about.
She's on her way from Adelaide as we speak.
But are you seriously expecting me to believe that you're holding up this whole place just so you can What, speak to some woman? And do you expect everyone to believe that you're a victim? That you didn't do what you did? Give it up.
Step outside.
How do you live with yourself? I'm not a bad person.
I'm just trying to keep my head above water.
See, that's the problem.
You put your foot in shit, you end up covered in shit.
You may as well go the whole way Get shit in your ears and up your nose and under your fucking eyelids.
You do what you have to for the people you love.
And also, that's really fucking disgusting.
I chose to spend my final moments on Earth with the woman I love.
You, on the other hand, chose to spend yours at Ronny's Spicy Wings.
Pretty sure I win.
Actually, um, I don't think you do win.
I asked my friend Freddie to retrieve something for me.
How do I put this? Uh oh, yeah.
It's from something that shoots but never kills.
What, like a A potato gun? Turn on your speaker and check your messages.
When I saw a speed limit drop like that near roadworks on that kind of road, I knew there'd be a speed camera, see? And Elliot told me how fast you were going.
You lied.
Your version of events doesn't really match that photo, does it? Oh, that's just been sent to every single department in the state, just so you really get the message here, which is, you're seven different kinds of fucked.
Hey.
You're out and about.
I am.
I gather you told them you made me do it all.
Yeah.
I'm glad they believed me.
Well, you should be out after your bail hearing tomorrow morning.
And just remember.
Lachlan Rogers is the big fish here, so testify against him, and you should get a suspended sentence.
I feel like I've been living in one of those since the car crash.
Well, that body that you found in Murray Waters had Billy Nixon's DNA all over the shop there, so you're in the clear on that one, at least.
What was it, by the way? In the restaurant? There was something that you said you remembered about us.
Oh, yeah, um That night, the night we Yeah.
Did we? No, we we didn't.
Um We did kiss, though.
- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
Um, uh, I got you something.
Um, it's just I put my number in there, in case you ever want to you know, yeah.
Oh, fuck it, just one of those days where you do things you never thought you'd do, so Figured it might jar my memory.
Did it? This way, please.
She's she's here.
- Who? - They found her.
They brought her all the way up from Adelaide.
Lena Pascal.
I hope you find out who you are.
You're Lena? I'm I'm Elliot.
Elliot Stanley.
I've been Christ, I've been looking for you.
Do you do you know who I am? So it's true What the police told me.
You remember nothing, huh? This is not a game? No.
Hm? A shit and swallow No.
No, that This this can't be true.
Elliot Stanley.

Hm? Sign here.
You're free to go until your hearing.
Do not leave the state.
I'm I'm I'm free? Yep.
But I the statement.
I I I told you about Lena Pascal, about what I did.
We spoke to Miss Pascal.
She said you had her mixed up with someone else.
So I can't even get myself arrested for all this horrible shit that I've done? Lucky you.
Burnt Lodge.
Sue speaking.
Hey, it's me, um the guy who couldn't remember who he was.
Oh.
I, um I can't fix the shit I brought to your door, nothing can, but there's something.
There's a sign A sign to, uh, nowhere.
I've texted you where it is on a map and, uh, I've left something there for you.
It won't change anything, but, um, I don't know, it's, uh, it's something.
I'm sorry, Sue.
Sir? Yeah.
Can you tell me your name? Elliot.
Elliot Stanley.
The cop at the station told me what you said.
Made me sick that I even knew you.
But you do know me.
You know that's not me.
You're saying she's lying? Just tell me this is all some big mistake, that That you don't actually believe her.
No, no one can find anything out about me.
You know that? No friends.
No family.
I don't know if any of the stuff I remember is is real, or it's just fucking LSD.
Stop, okay? Just just please stop with the poor me.
We don't know why I was working for Kosta.
We don't know how I met Lena.
We don't know why I ever asked her - to do what she did.
- It doesn't matter.
You do something like that, there is no reason on Earth that ever makes that okay.
Why'd you have to be that guy? Of all the guys, why that guy? You're my only friend in the whole wide world, right? Goodbye, Elliot.
Goodbye, Helen.
What's that? Mango crazy.
Guy at the bar said it's because it makes a man go crazy.
I don't know what it does to a woman.
Hopefully, gets her nice and toasted on both sides.
What's up? Nothing.
It's that bloke, isn't it? Go on, tell me.
I don't want to talk about it.
I just don't understand how the same guy who could do something so awful could also save my life, and and give a woman he hardly knows a million dollars just 'cause he felt I just don't know what I'm supposed to think about that about him.
Listen.
20 years ago, I come back home and caught a guy going through my underwear, sniffing my underpants like they were roses.
He was this lodger studying entomology.
Bugs.
You're getting the picture, right? Um, I think so? Total freak.
Anyway, that's Dave.
Hold on, that that's Yep, that's the man I ended up marrying.
I don't tell it a lot, as a story, 'cause Right.
End of the day, love doesn't happen like it does in the movies.
Real people make mistakes, and they deserve a second chance.
You and this guy This could be the prologue to the love story of the century The bit before the other bit.
I don't think so.
I mean, this guy, he He wanted so badly to remember who he was.
And now that he has, he can't forget And neither can I.
Can't forget what he did, or can't forget him? People change.
- I need another drink.
- What are you having? I'll have a Bloody Mary.
