Hyde & Seek

All right, time for Uncle Nick to shine.

You do your best, super cop, because when you've got one of your own...

No, no. I'm not missing out on my kid's birthday. Not ever.

Nick!

Nick Petrides loved a lot of things in life.

But he loved nothing more than his wife, Angela,

and his son or daughter to be.

I was recruited into the SAS at uni.

It's the New Zealand equivalent of ASIO.

- Right. - It wasn't for me.

I... went back to law and I've been a pen-pusher ever since.

Next month is the Asia Pacific Security Forum,

at the Raynott Hotel Convention Centre.

They'll be high-profile politicians attending.

It's a potential target.

So what we've done is

prevented a rocket launcher coming into the country.

So if I was Malik, I'd be a little bit pissed off.

This van arrives at the centre.

I've run the plate. It's stolen.

Can't see the driver, though.

So I dug up some traffic cams from the general area.

That's him. Right. And he's going by the name of Ali King, that right?

We find the van, we find him.

- Police! - Clear!

Boss, out the back!

So close.

Police have advised motorists to avoid the CBD

where the US Secretary of State is one of the high-profile delegates

attending the Asia Pacific Security Forum.

Arms out, please.

Claire McKenzie.

Detective Gary Hyde.

So when's this bun fight start?

Thank you.

Opening ceremony is in half an hour.

Major Hanley, this way.

There go the bigwigs.

Hi. Adam Joyce. Head of security.

Sorry for the wait, officers. Come on in.

As you know, we're following up on this man, Ali King.

Yep. We also sent through the registration details of a van

connected to him.

You called with information for us?

We actually have a match in the cordoned-off area

three days ago.

That's him. That's our terrorist.

Can't see who's driving.

That's all we've got.

I've gotta get this.

Hey.

I was supposed to meet Angie for a coffee

- but... - You okay?

I really need you to come down here.

Okay. All right. All right. Okay.

Did she say anything else?

Only that she thinks there's a bomb.

- That she wanted you. - All right.

Just do me a favour, Sonya. Can you just stay back a bit.

Hey, Ange. You all right, love?

I put the key in.

And I had this feeling that if I start the car or take the key out,

- it's gonna blow up. - It's all right.

All right, just relax.

Listen to me, sweetie.

Have you seen anyone hanging around here? Any strangers around your car?

Hello, little man. Hey.

Hello, Christos.

Okay, Ange. How about we get the little fella out?

- Hmm? - Nuh.

And listen.

I'm gonna get the little fella out, okay?

Claire here is gonna open the door.

Hold my hand. Everything's gonna be all right.

Hey, all right?

Open the door. There we go.

All right?

And she's gonna get Christos out.

All right.

Shh, shh.

Then I'm gonna get you out, love.

Leave your hand there.

That's okay. Leave the key there.

And then come with me.

Come on, sweetheart.

Come on. It's all right.

Now, listen.

It's all right, love.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're okay.

Gary, the bomb squad's on its way. Get out of the car.

Gary!

What the hell did you think you were doing?

Proving there wasn't a bomb.

Morning, team.

Everyone, I'd like to introduce Claudia Rossini,

director of Counterterrorism, ASIO.

So how are we going on our unknown assassin?

Ali King. According to his passport.

Ms McKenzie, from New Zealand.

Yes.

King was seen three days ago,

surveilling the venue with an unknown associate.

So let's just make sure he doesn't get any closer than that.

You haven't considered canning this?

I'm hardly about to tell the US Secretary of State

and 200 other guests that we have a security concern.

Well, just so that we're clear, Ali King is a serious threat.

I don't doubt that.

This is a one-day event.

So I want you to find him and contain him.

And I'd really like that to happen today and not tomorrow.

Okay?

Thanks.

So, what have we got?

Told you, Jackie.

He's been snooping around the venue with someone we don't know.

Got an ID on the driver.

Who is it?

Lachlan Ford. 29. Convicted of assault and car theft.

You've got an address?

He lives with his mum.

That thing at Angela's was pretty out there.

Hmm, well, she's just lost her husband. She's got a new baby.

I meant, you, Gary.

Me?

I'm all right.

So how are we doing this?

It's routine inquiries.

We're checking missing persons to try and ID the dead guy in the van.

Keep on it.

Jackie! Hi.

Sonya. Hi. Good to see you.

Um, Gary's not around at the moment.

I know. Can we talk?

In private?

Sure! This way.

Carry on.

There was an incident this morning

with Nick's widow.

She was having a panic attack.

She was imagining that there was a bomb.

But the way Gary reacted...

he really scared me.

It was like he wanted it to be true.

And he doesn't sleep.

He's having nightmares...

There would've been a debrief after his partner was killed.

Did Gary follow up with a psychologist?

I don't think he went.

See, the thing is, I...I think he blames himself for Nick's death.

Appears he's not home.

Gary...

Shh.

Stop! Local police!

Claire, call it in.

- Jackie Walters. - It's Claire.

Our suspect's done a runner.

- We need backup. - Copy that.

I'm on Marchbank. There's no sign of him.

Or Gary.

Duty officers have been notified. They're on their way.

I've got him.

He's on the corner of Marchbank and Blade.

Wait for backup.

Sure.

No, mate. Don't stop.

I gotta stop. I'm a bus driver. That's me job.

I said keep driving!

Yeah, yeah, all right, mate.

Yep.

I've got a bomb in my backpack and I'll use it.

So, drive.

Okay. Yeah, all right, pal. All good.

Gary. Jackie. It's Gary.

Yeah, Claire's on the bus with a suspect. I'm on their tail.

All right.

All right, they're headed towards a motorway.

We have to contain this.

Backup's right behind you.

Copy that.

Claire?

She's got her phone on.

Put it through.

Piss off, pigs!

Gary, we've got Claire on a feed from the bus.

We're patching it through.

Tactical units are on their way. Now reporting to them.

Keep going.

Keep going! Don't stop.

Jesus!

Christ!

Shut it!

All of ya.

Youse are very lucky this thing didn't blow.

Oh my god! So keep your hands where I can see them.

Hands!

Stay quiet!

I can see you, pig. Stay the hell away from me.
