Rush (2008) s04e09 Episode Script

Season 4, Episode 9

ok, I've got Michael.
He's on the boat with Liam Rainey.
I gotta know, was it you guys that had the police minister killed? People my old man are in partnership with - Russian mafia.
The shit that they're bringing in, you would not believe.
Michael's parents have given their permission to turn off his life support.
Police, put down your weapon! There's something wrong with this man.
The doctor's saying that he has radiation sickness.
Do you really think that you can mess with these guys? They killed your son, Colin.
They shot one of my officers.
They wanna kill you.
They've probably already done for Liam.
They're picking off your family one by one, and for the sake of some rat-arsed drug operation, you want to offer up the lives of your sons.
- Hey.
- Are you doing ok? No.
How do you pack up someone's life? I mean, what does this mean? Is that important? No.
Well, it meant something to Michael.
Yeah, but that was a memory and now Michael's gone, so it's just a piece of paper.
That's a little cynical.
I thought you liked that.
So, are you gonna sell the place? It was just an investment between me and Michael.
It's got no emotional attachment.
I can't afford it on my own.
Do you want a deceased estate? It's going cheap.
Yeah, I can't really afford it on my own either.
Why are we on our own? Well, we're not.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I'm here, ok? I promise I will never ask you to marry me again.
Christian, were you praying? No, just thinking about Michael.
Funeral.
Yeah.
I didn't really know him.
It felt wrong to go.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
I missed you, though.
Could've done with a drinking buddy at the wake.
I better Yeah, sure.
Should you be here? Tr-1, says it on the board.
Did you get any sleep? Do I look like shit? Look, no-one would mind if you took a few days.
I tried to sleep.
I can't be at home right now.
I need to work.
Ok.
Yeah, we got it.
1-4-0-8 tango tango.
Yeah, that's them.
It's heading north towards McEvoy.
Yeah, just heading back.
We want to know where they're going.
Leon, have you got any more intel on this explosive we're chasing? According to the warehouse manifest, the explosive is Semtex, 200kg.
We're trailing terrorists? Turning left onto McEvoy now.
You want to pick up the tail? - Yeah, copy that.
- We're on it.
Hey, Semtex is stable, right, Leon? Very.
It doesn't go boom unless you hook it up to a detonator.
That's reassuring.
Truck's pulled up on daly street.
Looks like they're meeting up with a second party.
I want to know where the product's going.
- Don't blow cover.
- Yeah, copy that.
Yeah, looks like some sort of handover.
Ooh.
Charlie? Let them punch it out.
I'm not blowing cover 'cause of these meatheads.
It feels wrong to be doing nothing.
They're gonna kill him.
This is getting out of control.
Charlie, we've got to move on this.
Ok, go.
Why can't crims just be professional? Police! Don't move! Stop that now! Face down on the ground! Hands where we can see them.
Face down on the ground.
Face down on the ground now! Hands where we can see them! Down.
Stop it! Can you hear me? Christian! Keep an eye on that one.
You alright? There it is.
That'll put a dent in something.
Oh, man, this is stuffed.
What? Well, check this out.
I paid for something on eftpos.
The transaction's debited twice, three times even.
Have you talked to your bank? What, you mean talk to a real person? Yeah.
Well, that's just plain ridiculous, Amber.
No.
Nup, the system's definitely corrupted.
Maybe you're just paranoid.
Has Josh called in yet? Didn't he ask for time off? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He asked for compassionate leave but I said no.
So where is he? Leon, where is he? Oh, do you want me to find him? Yeah.
Now? Yeah.
Ok.
Driver's in an induced coma.
I don't know if he'll pull through.
Yeah, he's part of the Rainey crew.
Yeah? What about the other two blokes? No, they're not talking.
Except in Russian to say "piss off.
" Russian? What are the chances it's the same mob that killed Col Rainey? And that shot Michael.
We've got a war going on here, Kerry.
I'm going to speak to Doug Rainey.
Uh, he doesn't like talking to cops.
Depends on how desperate he is.
Times have changed, haven't they? I mean, you ran Melbourne for, what, 20 years? Then these Russians come in, take over in three months.
Beat the shit out of one of yours today in broad daylight.
That wasn't very nice considering what they did to Col.
I'm not here to rub it in.
They got one of ours too.
Michael Sandrelli.
Who's next? Liam? They've got him, haven't they? What do you want? I want to know who these arseholes are and why you're working with them.
I don't know anything.
Oh, you know plenty.
You know about the explosives, you know about the Russians.
There's too much killing, Doug, wouldn't you agree? One of ours, one of yours? They took Liam and what are you gonna do? Just sit there till they get you too? Eh? Oh, it's good.
Play it your way, mate.
Wait.
What? Are they holding something over you? Hmm? You do what they tell you or they kill Liam, am I right? Because believe me, you are running out of time.
So you want me to base a major police operation on the word of Doug Rainey? It makes sense - he's risking his arse stealing Semtex for this mob, using Liam as leverage.
Oh, do I give a shit? That's the prick that assaulted my son.
Hey, Kerry, we don't have a lot of choice.
We need to find the explosives.
If we find Liam, that's the old man in the palm of our hand.
Yeah, alright.
Yeah, ok.
Hey, Lawson, have you heard from Josh? I just got a call.
Apparently sergeant Brendan Joshua paid Yuri Gringko a visit in remand, demanding information about who shot Michael.
So? What's the problem? Just find Josh and bring him in, will you? At least someone's doing something about Michael.
Yeah, I've called Tash, I've left messages.
What more can I do? Can you get a position on his phone? Yeah, if he had it turned on, sure, but look, 9:53, the phone comes on for 26 seconds and then dead - gone.
Whatever Josh is up to, he doesn't want you to find him.
Ok, guys, listen up.
We've got some new intel on these explosives thefts, courtesy of our new best friend Doug Rainey.
Yeah, this Russian mob are expecting their second delivery of explosive this afternoon so we're going to surveil the handover, follow the Russians back to the holding area, go in, make a bust.
What's that got to do with Doug Rainey? Rainey's men were going to be driving the truck.
Now it's us.
One more thing.
We believe they're holding Liam Rainey as hostage.
So, what, we're going to rescue that arsehole? Are you serious? Listen, the operation is about tracking stolen explosives and making arrests.
Ok? If we get Liam Rainey, it's a bonus.
That easy, huh? Well, yeah, why not? They beat the shit outof those truck drivers this morning.
That's why you and Charlie will be driving the truck to stop that from happening.
I don't want any more bloodshed.
So the boys get to drive? Well, stell, you don't really look like a truck driver.
And, what, he does? Ooh.
Come on, let's just get it done, alright? Hey, it's a number four, babe.
It's not going anywhere.
You look way too coppy.
Need to get you a trucker hat or something.
No, it'slt'll be fine.
I don't see why they make you do this undercover stuff.
It's what got Michael killed.
Sorry.
I'll be fine.
Really? Yeah.
Didn't they tell you I was invincible? Lawson.
Oh, that's a shitload of playdough.
Looks real to me.
Once we've made the bust, kerry wants us to wear these dosimeters.
Geiger counters? Why? 'Cause some bloke's got a blotch on his face? Yeah, it's been confirmed.
It's radiation sickness.
Oh, that's great.
If my firstborn has two heads, I know who to blame.
Let's go.
Found Josh yet? No.
Maybe you should put a KALOF out on his car.
Are you happy here? Happy? As in deeply satisfied.
I'm good.
Leon, have you got the transponder signal? Uh, yep.
You're on Brunton.
Spot on.
That's bullshit about no women truck drivers.
My cousin's a truckie.
Charlie, Christian - in position.
Yeah, copy that, Christian.
Yes, got you.
Who's that? Josh.
Just used his E-tag on the Brunswick road turn-off.
Pick up the phone, Josh.
You know, call in.
Leon, it's pretty dead out here, mate.
Can you see anything? No, mate.
Oh, hang on, hang on.
Bronze falcon, on its way.
You see it? Stopped.
Stopping? Let's roll.
Thought you boys weren't coming.
Show.
There you go, comrade, all there.
Told you.
We hope we'll get the cab fare out of this.
Yeah.
Ow.
Go.
Yeah, ahh, take it easy.
Alright, go, go, go, go.
Kneel.
Stay down! On the ground now! Stay down! Face down on the ground.
Oi! Don't move.
Hey, hey, hey.
Have you got cuffs? Yep.
Who's that? Who are you calling? Huh? Who's this? Leon, need a position of a last number dialled.
Take a look at this.
Hands behind your back.
Uh, yep, doing my best.
Did they pick you for a cop? No, I reckon they're just arseholes.
They're professionals.
They're covering their tracks.
Leon, how are you going with that number? I'm getting the signal.
Hoppers crossing, Forsyth road.
Have you got a visual on that location? Yeah, some sort of factory complex.
It's got some decent security going on.
I've got to say, if I was looking to hide some explosives, that'd be it.
What do you reckon? Let's do it.
People, we're moving.
Christian, let's go.
Alright, guys, once we're inside the complex, we don't muck around.
We go straight to the main building and start making arrests.
Sounds like a plan.
He's suss.
He's fine.
We're in.
Lawson, get here fast.
Go, go, go.
Right, gun it, gun it.
You'll make that.
Oh, shit.
Up there, I count three guys.
Rightio.
Out.
Alright, mate.
Ok.
Alright.
Out.
Alright, alright, alright.
What? I don't know what you mean, mate.
Hey! G'day.
Police.
Problem.
What? I can't understand you.
What are you? Police! Get down on the ground! Now! On the ground! Face down on the ground now! Nice and slow.
On the ground! Hands where we can see them! On the ground! Do not move! Set? Yeah.
Second floor, eastern corner, I've got Liam Rainey.
Oh, thank Christ.
What state's he in? He's alive.
Needs a bath.
It's your lucky day.
Jackpot.
Ground floor, rear, we've got a big pile of explosives.
I'm on it.
Bring him down.
- What are you waiting for? - Get me out of here.
They'll come back.
Oh, don't screw with me.
I've got immunity.
I want a phone and I want to speak to your superior.
Yeah, I know about your deal.
My boss ran round trying to organise it while you blackmailed her with Michael's life.
Mike's one of you guys? His name's Michael.
And we buried him yesterday.
I never wanted that to happen.
I saw his bruises.
You tortured him.
As you can appreciate, it was a complex situation.
Do you know how many times I've thought about this? Now here we are.
What should I do? I think that you should get a good grasp on the full picture.
Me and Mike, we were friends.
I liked him.
I helped him take a piss.
You have no idea what you took from me.
Get up! No.
I said you get up! Stella! Is he good? We're cool.
I didn't kill Mike.
Get up! Stell, you clear with Shannon.
Go.
What? Nothing.
Can you walk? Yeah.
Good, then do it.
What about my old man? Is he ok? Yeah, he's fine.
The miserable old shit actually cares about you.
Move, move, move! Shots fired! Shots fired! Lawson? Stay down! Stay down and don't move! Shots fired, coming from the east of Tr-1.
- Within the compound? - Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Liam! Gunman on the walkway above the storage tanks to the South-east corner! Liam Rainey's hit.
Liam, you stay still.
I'm coming to get you.
Shan, Stell, I'm gonna make a run for him.
I need covering fire.
You got that? Got it.
Just leave the piece of shit, Lawson.
Gold-plated shit, Stell.
In position.
One, two, three! Shit, are you alright? Yeah, brilliant.
Alright, get that jacket off.
It's gonna hurt, right? You behave yourself, I might even call you an ambo.
Why did you save me? Beats me.
Police! Put down the weapon! Put it Sniper's down.
Yeah? Christian ok? He's tougher than he looks.
250 kilos of Semtex and Liam Rainey to boot.
I call that a win.
What's with the radiation? Oh, right, it's task force, obviously.
Listen, Kerry didn't tell me anything, ok? Oh, so she keeps you in the dark now too? You know what the real win is here? Raineys.
Right now they're so shit-scared, we look friendlier than the Russians.
Never said thank you to a cop before.
Oh, well, first time for everything.
How's my boy? Yeah, he's fine.
But if he gets his way, you won't be seeing him again.
He wants a deal, Doug.
New life.
Cash for information.
A new life.
A new identity, the works.
Ungrateful bastard.
I'll bust his head open.
Well, maybe just wait till he gets out of hospital, eh? Here.
What's that? You can call it gratitude.
There's a photo on that thing.
The guy that killed your police minister, and that officer, he's the guy you're after.
Ooh, hey! Hey.
Are you ok? Yeah, I'm fine.
Heard you had a talk to ethical standards.
Sorry, that's personal.
Um I don't have an off switch sometimes.
Leon never warned me about any of this.
Just thought it would be fun working here, you know, to see how it's done on the other side, not I'm gonna go for a walk.
Yeah.
Ok.
I've gone through our databases.
I've sent the pic interstate.
I've sent the pic to interpol.
All come up with zilch.
I've even facialrecognitioned across the net.
There's no matches.
He's gotta be someone.
He's worked very hard to remain anonymous.
Yeah.
Here he goes again.
What? Who goes? Josh.
His car just went through Citylink.
He went through the Brunswick turn-off earlier today.
Oh, Josh, what are you up to? He's doing the same thing we're doing, Kerry.
Looking for the people that shot Michael.
Knowing Josh, he'll probably get there before we do.
Lawson, there's someone here to see you.
Tash.
Hey.
Are you alright? Where's Josh? We don't know.
What do you mean you don't know? At the moment we can't track him down but He called me 20 minutes ago.
What did he say? He told me he loved me.
Please, what's going on? I think the best thing you could do right now is be at home.
If we hear anything, we'll let you know.
Yes! What is it? It's Josh.
I'm getting a signal off his phone.
Come on.
Come on.
Lawson! Yeah? I got him.
Lawson? They've got Josh.
Shit.
Alright, just hang on.
Hang on.
Let's do a search of the whole area first.
I'm picking up radiation.
Whatever I'm tracking, it's gotta be round here.
Charlie, are you getting this? Yep.
Oh, that's hot in there.
Don't go any further.
Call the bomb squad.
Come back, Shannon.
No, that's a detonator.
It's gotta be a bomb making lab.
It's always a bomb.
Holy shit! So this adds up to what? Right.
A dirty bomb.
You get high explosives, for example Semtex, which we know they've got.
Uh, then you wrap it in an incendiary material, thermite, very easy to get.
Then you just shove a big wad of radioactive material in the middle, set it off and kaboom.
So it's like a backyard nuclear bomb? No, it's a radiological weapon.
The radioactive material isn't visile.
It doesn't explode.
It just gets blasted into the air.
Has anyone ever made one of these? No, not yet.
It's only a question of time, though.
With a dirty bomb, you want to send the radioactive stuff up as high as you can.
The wind then blows it all over the place - into schools, up people's noses, playgrounds.
It'sUh, it's a good way to wreck an entire city.
So, basically, it's the perfect terrorist weapon.
Alright, so how do we find it? Have you got an ID from the photo Doug Rainey gave us? Yeah, I'm working on it.
Well, hurry up.
He's got to be behind this.
We find him, we find Josh.
What kind of sick bastard wants to poison a whole city with nuclear waste? Someone with a point to prove? Killing thousands of innocent people.
What kind of point is that, shan? I'm not the one with the bomb.
Hey, where does that leave Josh if he's been exposed to all this radioactive shit? Can we not go there? Concentrate on what we've got at the moment.
Oh, what's that, Josh missing and Michael dead? Stell.
No, seriously, I mean, who's next? Is it you or me? What about you, Lawson? What do you suggest - we take it out on Liam Rainey? He deserves everything he gets.
Look, if you want to honour Michael, the best thing that you can do is to keep it together.
You think you can do that? What? Hey, I know this isn't the best time, but you're gonna want to hear this, Kerry.
There's something weird going on at my bank, and they're keeping a big, fat lid on it.
Oh, Leon, please.
No, no, no.
Hear me out.
Money is disappearing from my account.
I can't be the only one.
When you contact the bank, nothing doing.
And you're suggesting what? I'm suggesting sophisticated criminal activity and corporate extortion.
It's a sting, Kerry.
The Russian mafia were masters at it when the banks opened up after the collapse of the eastern bloc.
Target a bank, unleash some chaos, total the brand, and then you say, "hey, we can actually help you out of this mess.
"Only thing is, it's gonna come at a cost and if you don't pay, "sorry, it's gonna keep happening.
" Leon, what you got? I've got a headache from having this bozo in my face all day.
Well, you got any clues in the background? No, I've got bricks, you know.
I've got bricks.
You know this is Josh we're talking about? Yeah, II know.
Let me try something.
Please.
Heh.
You might be out of a job, mate.
Geotag.
Oh, shit.
Longitude and latitude.
Camera had built-in GPS.
Where'd you learn this? High school.
Can you get an address from these coordinates? Um, yeah.
Alright, pull up all the street cameras in the area.
See what you can find.
Will do.
Yep, well done.
Thanks.
Proud of you.
Good work.
They're picking us off one by one.
Josh will turn up.
He'll be fine.
Christian, shut up.
I'm so sick of your Pollyanna crap.
It's not Pollyanna, it's hope.
It's bullshit.
Come on, let's go.
Lawson, the address is 1490 Plenty road, Preston.
Anything on those cameras, Leon? No, not yet.
Haven't you clocked off? What's a Pollyanna? Dumb-arse optimist.
Leon? Why don't you just go home? Leon, it's Josh's car.
Uh, Lawson, Josh's car has just left the Preston address.
Alright, we're on it.
Keep a visual.
Is he driving? I can't tell but it looks like there might be someone in the back.
It's not Josh? Ok, Lawson, they've just turned right into Wilson road.
They're going out of camera range.
Alright, we're 30 seconds off.
One by one.
Can I have a word? Is it Josh? Oh, the body's badly burnt.
There's no ID yet, but it's, umlt's male.
Same height, build.
What did she say? Hey.
It's ok.
It's gonna be alright.
It will.
Christian.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to It's ok.
