[NIGEL BOLT] Mr Ibrahim,
you've been described
as the 'King of the Cross'
and that you control the rivers
of gold that flow from it.
[SIREN WAILS]
[DOYLE] John and Sam, the Ibrahim boys.
Apparently, Johnny went from
doorman out in Parramatta
to owning three clubs in
the Cross in a heartbeat.

who runs this street.
[JOHN] Don't worry. They won't.

[CRELLAN] That's my family.
[GUNSHOT]
[SAM] There's nothing I won't
do to protect my brother.
Hey! Police! Don't fucking move.
[SAM] I thought you'd be long gone now.
[JOHN] I'm going. I just
want to take one last look.

die. Please don't let him die!

more guys on the doors.
Like, right away. Like, tonight.

We should probably
send word to the boys.

What's going on?
Yeah? And what do you know about it?
I know he's a problem.
You don't know how things are.
Maybe I can help.
Please, no, OK?
He is connected to the right people.
Just stay out of it, OK?

Mm, good lad.

Didn't get any cash in

Missus fucked it up, alright?
He's lying.
There's a hole in the

Hey! Don't jinx it.
[FUNNY STEVE] OK, alright. Jesus!
I was just gonna ask what
you'd do when you got out.
What I'm gonna do is get a lap dance
from the fattest thing
you've ever seen in your life.
You heard from John yet?
What about you, Deano?
Me? Oh, go looking for work, I guess.
Yeah, gotta find a
way to help my brother.
Yours useless too?
Yeah.
Yeah, the poor bastard's got leukaemia.
Oh, fuck. Sorry, mate.
[DEAN] Yeah, nah, it's all good.
Three kids under 10,
though. Makes it hard.
You know much about clubs?
Oh, just that tits pretty
much market themselves.
[FUNNY STEVE LAUGHS] Yeah.
Stripperama's not runnin' right.
Maybe I can set something up
for ya, if you're interested.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[FUNNY STEVE] Hey, look. Fresh meat.

[FUNNY STEVE] Mm, fucking Aussies.
Sam.
So me and him
we got history.
What type of history?
I was in his cell block
before they moved me here.
So what? You want to
flog him or something?
Nah.
But Jaxon's a serious guy.
He was in charge of the whole pod.
He was sweeper and everything.
And he's not gonna stop with just them.
He's gonna keep bringing guys
over to his side of the yard
till he outnumbers you.
Yeah, that won't happen.
Look, me and Funny Steve,
we got your back, alright?
But the rest of these guys?
I mean, they might be afraid of you,
but it don't make 'em loyal.
Maybe it's time to
put this prick on show.
What, you gonna walk
into your parole meeting
with blood on your greens? [CHUCKLES]
You think I can get parole?
Mate, you walk in there
and you say the right thing,
you'd be out in a month.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
[LOW CHATTER]
Mr Ibrahim, good morning.
I guess we'll see about that.
Well, we're all satisfied
with your willingness
to participate in the
inmate labour program,
but we're very concerned
about your history of violence,
and you do have a fairly full history.
If you say so.
During your period of incarceration,
have you reflected on your actions?
Yeah. There's not much else to do here.
Do you feel like you've
changed, Mr Ibrahim?
No.
Do you want to change?
It doesn't matter what I want, does it?
Actually, it matters a great deal.
This is about what you want.
What we want is for you to be
a productive member of society.
[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]
I'm very productive.
No-one ever handed us nothing, so
I'm not gonna sit here
and apologise for that.
What will you do if we grant you parole?
I'll do what I've always done.
Take care of my family.

[SEAT BELT CLICKS]

- The airport.
I got your things and a
spare change of clothes.
You've got to get off this island.
And you?
I'm gonna go to Barcelona,

You could come with me.
We'd be free of Mateo there.

[JOHN] Not soon enough

[STEPH] I did call you.
[JOHN] But you didn't tell me the Cross
was a fucking ghost town, did you?
- [STEPH] What did you expect?
- [JOHN] Oh, I don't know.
That you'd do your job.
Fuck you.
Fuck me?
I have been doing my job.
Where the fuck have you been?
I left you in charge
of the venue, Steph,
'cause you said that
you could handle it.
I can.
- But the scene's changed, John.
- She's right.
[STEPH] Royal Commission's
got the cops scared.
The casino is killing
the gambling clubs.
- Girls are legal.
- [STEPH] We got new liquor laws.
Dealers are pushing gear
right up the streets.
Everyone's carrying now.
Half the clubs have stopped reporting.
[JOHN] OK, just
Why didn't you do anything?
We need your permission.
You never answer your calls.
[JOHN] You don't need my permission.
And what are the Iron
Bloods doing in Lasers?
They should know the rules.
It's good to have you back, John.
Whatever you do, do it fast.

Oh, if that thing touches me again,
I'm gonna fucking shoot it off.
What are you doing here?
You know, looking after the place.
Oh, you're doing me a favour?
Always.
What about Mum? Who's looking after her?
Michael's there. She's cool.
Alright, well, you get
your bobblehead into a taxi.
Get her the fuck out of here, OK?
We're gonna have something to eat.
The thing is I kind of told her
Kind of told her what?
I kind of told her the place was mine.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
So if you could just
stay out of sight till she's
gone, that'd be really cool.
Look, I'll be 30 minutes.
- Five.
- Better.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]
Got your message. What's up?
Well
John Ibrahim is back.
Probably can't make
the welcome home drinks,
but you'll fly the flag for me.
We should put a taskforce on him.
For what? Understating his duty-free?
He's gonna start making moves, Kemp.
You want him to start making moves.
- Excuse me?
- Look.
I know money laundering
doesn't float your boat.
- OK, it's not about that.
- No?
This isn't the third
time in as many months
you've tried to get a
transfer to major crime?
I am telling you, he's not
gonna sit still for long.
I know this guy and I
know what he's capable
No, you knew this guy,
and now he's a spent force.
Relax, Doyle.
Sometimes the price of
promotion is boredom.

[OBJECT THUDS]
You running for mayor of Long Bay
or are you here to see your brother?
Nice to see you too.
- You look good.
- Nice hair.
Thanks.
What, you want to hug me?
No, I know how emotional you get.
How is it in here?
- What do you think?
- Can't be that bad.
Half the people we
know keep coming back.
How's the fam?
Oh, found Fadi in bed
with a girl last night,
trying to pretend my place was his.
Yeah, wonder where he got that from.
He's trying to be
like his older brother.
Which one?
How's Michael?
What, he hasn't visited?
Nah. I don't want him around here.
You haven't seen Mum yet, have you?
- [JOHN CLEARS THROAT]
- [SAM SIGHS]
I can't wait for the
slap she's gonna give you.
Why do you think I came here first?
You're less scary.
I'm here, aren't I?
Yeah, after two fucking years.
- It was 18 months.
- Who's counting?
I guess time passes a
bit different in here.
I was dealing with my own shit too, Sam.
Oh, yeah, in Ibiza?
Look, I had to disappear.
You know how much heat I was getting.
I was the only prick still standing.
- That was two fucking years ago.
- It's 18 months.
You've forgotten why I'm in here.
No, I haven't.
- Don't. Don't.
- What? What?
Act like you're my
saviour when you're the one
that created this whole mess.
Saved your life, didn't I?
Shooting someone to fix your own mistake
doesn't make you some hero.
I did what I had to do.
You wouldn't have had to do anything
if you'd listened to me.
The amount of chaos you caused,
it could've been you and me in here.
Yeah, but it's not.
- So you got a plan?
- Ugh!
Just give me a break. I only got back.
Come on. You don't wipe
your ass without a plan.
What is it?
Well, I'm gonna get the Cross
running right for starters.
Get some new blood in.
Good. Yeah, I might have someone for ya.
Black Flag?
Nah. Nah. It's a clever bloke in here.
Bit like you, actually.
What?
We lost a lot of good
people on that street, John.
Don't let it go to shit.
I won't.
I miss you, you little cock.
[WHISPERS] There you are
getting too emotional.
[SOFT SLAP]
[MEN CHATTERING]
Jaxon.
- It's good to see ya.
- You fucked me, Dean.
No, no, no, no. It's more
complicated than that.
How?
Well, my sister, remember?
Mate, she needed that operation.
Oh, come on. You'd have
done the same thing.
OK, now don't be a prisoner
to the moment, Jaxon.
Remember, you gotta look
a few steps ahead, OK?
Look, I can help you.
Oh, come on, mate. Seriously?
Mate, you do this, you're in here
for the rest of your fucking life.
[GASPS] Sam! Sam!
- [MAN] What the fuck's going on?

That's me.
[JOHN CHUCKLES]
Well, I hate to tell you, Ned,
but, um, all of this, it's it's

And why is that?
Well, it just makes the place untidy.

I'm gonna slap them.
Well, I'mma do what I wanna do.
You can do what you wanna
do. You just can't do it here.
Otherwise, you're gonna learn a lesson.
I've learned lessons that
you couldn't teach, brother.
You haven't learned what
a good tattoo is, clearly.
You look like a colouring
book left out in the rain.
Careful with the disrespect, Johnny.

Doyle.
[SCOFFS] welcome back.
How have you been?
[JOHN] Yeah, not bad.
You?
Honestly, a bit bored.
Oh, well, glad we could help.
Yeah, I have to hand it to you,
back in the country five minutes
and you've already got
people shooting at you.
How do you know when I
got back in the country?
- Oh-ho, you have been bored!
- How is Sam?
Yeah, not getting parole for a while.
You know things are
different now, right?
Getting that idea.
You used to have a lot of friends.
Most of them are gone now.
What's your point?
My point, John, is that
you've been really lucky.
You think I'm still
here 'cause I'm lucky?
Well, the Royal Commission
took you apart once
and we can do it again.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDE]
Nah, you took yourselves
apart with that.
Oh, really?
How?
- Good to see you, Doyle.
- Good to see you too, John.
[JUNIOR] Any idea who did it?
Doesn't matter who did it.
We gotta make a stand.

Time for you to go.
Argh!

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
This place isn't coming
back anytime soon, is it?
A lot of memories for a lot of people.
We've just gotta let it lie for a bit.
We'll take our time,
bring it back right.
I've got girls to pay, John.
I'm not in the business
of letting things lie.
