Dead Lucky

I will find your girlfriend.

I know the boys blame her for Lincoln's death.

He wanted to call for back-up and you told him not to.

You let me know if she has any inappropriate episodes.

If you leave now, it'll be seen as a disciplinary breach.

He's Corey's, but I couldn't let him have this baby.

I needed to distract him.

He had a girlfriend, seven years ago.

She has a seven-year-old kid so the timing was perfect.

I tried to tell you that he wasn't yours, but you wouldn't listen.

What have I done?

- Would you have dinner with me? - Okay.

It's a letter. For Mani.

You can't go. Mary noticed her passport was missing.

Told the police.

You want me to take all the blame?

I have a baby.

You made me pull the trigger.

No, I didn't.

You panicked. You can't blame me. I'm trying to help you.

It isn't fair!

Bo-Lin!

An alert is out for a silver station wagon, similar to this one,

driven by a man, with a woman and young boy as passengers.

Now there are two ways out of Claire's house to the highway.

There's here and here.

They're both major intersections. There must be cameras.

Yeah. At both sets of lights. So we searched the footage

around the time the car was heard leaving Claire's house.

No matches?

Well, there are four matches for the vehicle,

but none of them had three passengers

and none of the male drivers fit Corey's description.

Corey's not driving. Sorry?

He took Claire for three reasons.

- Hostage. - Human shield.

And as a driver.

We're looking for a female driver and a young boy.

And where's Corey?

Hiding.

Shit, they've found us. Turn off.

- What? - Just do it.

- Where are we going? - Just keep driving.

Hi.

Sorry. Had to work late last night.

These are for you. We'll do dinner, too.

These were just because I was thinking about you

and I was getting coffee and there was a florist

- and one thing led to another... - I can't.

- Sorry? - It doesn't feel right.

Ah, the flowers?

All of it.

- But yesterday you said... - I know. I've changed my mind.

Well, if this is about Lincoln and you need more time, I can wait.

I'm sorry.

Oh, there you are.

Listen, a young woman was found dead in Redfern.

The body description matches Bo-Lin. I'm gonna need you there too, Anna.

She was found in the skip?

Yeah. Time of death was at least eight hours ago.

And she fell from there?

Mm. Broke her neck on the edge of the bin.

Oh.

- She's had a haircut. - Like Mary's.

She was planning on using her passport.

- Before this. - Yeah.

- She have anything with her? - No phone, nothing.

Doesn't look like she jumped.

Plus, Forensics found splinters under her fingernails.

She was trying to hang on, on the way down.

- So she was pushed? - Looks that way.

This place has been wiped clean.

Whoever this was, they know how to cover their tracks.

What have you got?

Oi! Get up. We're goin'.

Where's Toby?

Toby!

Mum, I'm hungry.

Okay, mate.

We're goin' for a walk.

All three of us.

Where are we going?

The best way is to be direct. Stick to the facts.

Be compassionate but not too emotional.

It's their loss, not ours.

You don't have to do this. I can.

No, I can do it.

Maybe it's a good sign Bo-Lin didn't get on the plane.

- We can get the landlord to fix that. - Like last time?

It was six weeks before he did anything.

You skipped your exam yesterday, man.

You need to call your lecturer and explain.

You can ask for special consideration.

Until I find Bo-Lin, I don't care about my degree.

Bo-Lin's body was found this morning at Redfern.

We believe she may have died after falling from a warehouse window.

No!

She fell?

It appears she may have been pushed.

Who did this?

We don't know. I'm sorry.

I want to see her.

Of course.

I have to see her.

We'll arrange that as soon as possible.

All right, thanks.

The DNA found on the cigarette at the warehouse is Corey Baxter's.

He pushed her? It was Corey's?

He must have collided with her at the store. She saw him shoot Tony.

He didn't want her to talk so he locked her away.

When he couldn't figure out what to do with her,

he pushed her out the window.

- No. - What do you mean, no?

No, it's not Corey's MO.

If Bo-Lin had got in his way, he'd have just shot her then and there,

just like he did everybody else. Instead, he keeps her alive. Why?

His mate said he kept women locked up in Queensland.

Yeah, but there's no sign of sexual assault.

- Well, he locked Claire up. - That's different.

He thought Toby was his child.

Fits in with his whole obsession with being a father.

But to keep Bo-Lin hidden at the warehouse,

to buy her a ticket to China, it's not him.

Baxter's DNA was found at the crime scene.

- You're ignoring physical evidence. - No, I'm not ignoring it.

I'm just trying to make sense of it, Charlie. It doesn't make sense.

- Everything okay here? - Yep.

- You're on restricted duties. - What?

I warned you there'd be ramifications

if you walked out on that meeting yesterday.

I'm in the middle of a murder investigation.

I just had a phone call from the Education Minister,

who wants to know why that student you're meant to have found

is now dead.

Do you know how bad this looks?

I'm sorry, what did you just say?

Grace, there are broader implications here.

International students are a multi-billion dollar industry.

Well, I'm sorry if Bo-Lin's death has been inconvenient

- from a budgetary perspective... - Don't twist my words.

I don't have to. Your gun's padlocked.

I get it. I'm your scapegoat.

You need to tell the Minister you've penalised an officer.

Lucky me.

People are so fuckin' stupid,

they never notice when you swap their plates.

Yeah, you can hardly tell.

All right, time to go.

- My legs hurt. - It's all right. It's not too far.

Takes ages.

Should've known he's not mine. He's a wimp.

I saw a sign for a service station down the road.

Maybe we can stop and get some food.

That's right. I said we'd get snacks, didn't I?

- Yeah. - Well, guess what?

I lied.

Now you know how it feels.

How's Mani?

Sorry?

The boyfriend of the girl who died. His name's Mani, isn't it?

Yeah. Ah, not good, as can be expected.

Listen, I can't stop thinking about this passport.

See, I know Bo-Lin's friends weren't helping her out,

because they've been under constant surveillance.

They couldn't have got Mary's passport to her.

But that leaves just one other scenario.

That Bo-Lin took Mary's passport to the store.

But why would she do that? I don't think she meant to hurt Tony,

so why would she be thinking about skipping the country?

I don't know.

I told you I don't remember if I saw Mary's passport that day.

I seized Bo-Lin's. That's all I know.

Oh, okay.

Don't you like roses?

- What? - Charlie's flowers.

Oh, um... Yeah, that's not gonna work.

Oh, that's a shame.

Weren't you two having dinner yesterday?

Did something change?

It's just it's not the right time.

Yeah, of course.

That's a pretty good match, eh?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's...

That's really smart. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Yeah, well, lucky I'm in charge, then.

Yeah. Where... where are we going?

That's for me to know and you to find out.

Are we still going to Queensland?

Mmm...

It's stuck.

- Eh? - My pirate sword, in the key hole.

What?

See?

Oh, fuck. Fuck!

What'd you do that for, ya little shithead?

Don't touch him!

We're gonna go.

And you're not gonna follow.

Or what?
