"Put it down!"

GUNSHOTS AND WOMAN SCREAMING

She won't be coming back.

She won't be coming back. $50 says she does.

$50 says she does.

She'll have requested a transfer.

You reckon?

Wouldn't you?

They were only here for a couple of months before...

Wishful thinking?

It doesn't bother me whether she comes back or not.

You sure? I mean, you were the one who... you know.

You can say it, PJ. I am the one who shot Susie's husband.

So aren't you just a little nervous about seeing her again?

Why would I be?

I had no choice.

Benny, you can't kill another human being

without feeling terrible about it.

Is that how you felt when you shot that woman?

Marlene Darcy.

VKC to Mt Thomas 508.

Can you attend the Salvation Army Hall for a cold burg?

I noticed it first thing this m-m-m-m-morning, morning.

The last thing we need is the cost of replacing a window.

The last thing we need is the cost of replacing a window. That's not counting the money

That's not counting the money stolen.

That's not counting the money stolen. It was everything we raised last week for the welf

It was everything we raised last week for the welfare centre - $720.

Quite a bit of m-m-m-m-money, money.

Luke Darcy.

Mr Hasham.

You're under arrest.

Are the cuffs necessary?

They're necessary.

Jo, could you take Mr Darcy to the interview room?

With Jones.

Alright. Jonesy.

Take his handcuffs off, please.

Was that...? Yep.

He's out of jail already?

Time flies.

I assume it's parole, not jail break.

I assume it's parole, not jail break. Well, this theft means he's broken parole,

Well, this theft means he's broken parole,

so he'll go straight back in.

So he'll go straight back in. He's responsible for the break-in?

He's responsible for the break-in?

He's responsible for the break-in? We haven't talked to him yet.

We haven't talked to him yet.

Luke Darcy is at the Salvos, there's trouble at the Salvos,

Luke Darcy is at the Salvos, there's trouble at the Salvos, Luke Darcy is trouble.

Luke Darcy is trouble.

Luke Darcy is trouble. It's not hard to work out.

It's not hard to work out.

Why don't you see what he says?

Given your history with the suspect, perhaps you should sit this out.

I'll be sitting in.

What time did you arrive at the Salvo Hall this morning?

Yeah... about eight.

Window was already broken by then.

What were you doing there?

What were you doing there? I'm working as a volunteer.

I'm working as a volunteer.

I can understand why YOU'D drag me in here,

but you've got it wrong.

I've changed.

You haven't changed much if you steal from the Salvos.

Even in the criminal world, that's low.

I'm not in the criminal world any more.

I'm in the real world.

I found God...

..in prison.

So that's where He's been all this time, eh?

You can mock me. I understand.

But it's true.

How long have you been volunteering?

Since I got back to town.

And when was that?

Two days ago.

Did you know where the cash box was kept?

I assume it was in the safe.

And did you take it?

No.

Just for the record, where were you last night?

I was at home with Grandma Lucy.

Happy families at the Darcy family, eh?

Strictly speaking, Grandma is a Kenny.

PJ, can I've a word?

You think I'm being too hard on him.

Jonesy, keep an eye on our friend. Yeah. Jo.

Yeah, I do.

Maybe I remember the day he tried to set his stepdad on fire.

Maybe he has changed.

Maybe he has changed. Nobody changes that much - with or without God.

Nobody changes that much - with or without God.

Even so, what guy would get out of jail, instantly commit a crime

and hang around to get caught?

A sociopath, like that one.

I know you don't like him,

but there is no evidence Darcy took that money, so we let him go.

You have got to be kidding. Ben's right.

If you've got no evidence.

I don't believe he has changed.

Working for the Salvos in the first place,

it's part of the sick little way his mind works.

You may be right... I am right.

..but you won't get anywhere without evidence.

Let him go.

I'm not a trainee.

You don't want to mess with him.

I've met him, seen his record - but he was in cuffs!

I've met him, seen his record - but he was in cuffs! Preying on women is his speciality.

Preying on women is his speciality.

Preying on women is his speciality. I don't want you near him.

I don't want you near him.

I can look after myself, okay?

Alright, you want to be on the case? You're on it.

I need you to door knock around the Salvo Hall.

Door knock?

Did you find anything?

No, nobody saw or heard a thing.

I didn't come back empty-handed though.

Detective, there's no way he's responsible for the theft.

You don't know him. I know he came to help.

You don't want him anywhere near you.

That's not quite how we work.

That's not quite how we work. I bet he didn't tell you he ran a protection racket.

I bet he didn't tell you he ran a protection racket.

I bet he didn't tell you he ran a protection racket. Beat up people for cash.

Beat up people for cash.

Beat up people for cash. As a matter of fact, he did.

As a matter of fact, he did.

Luke is open about his past.

Tried to set his stepfather on fire. He tell you that?

Tried to set his stepfather on fire. He tell you that? All of it. It's history.

All of it. It's history.

All of it. It's history. The Luke I've seen over the past few days is caring, generous.

The Luke I've seen over the past few days is caring, generous.

The Luke I've seen over the past few days is caring, generous. He's evil.

He's evil.

Always was, always will be.

I think you underestimate the power of Christian redemption.

What's that about redemption?

Hey. Hello, stranger.

Susie! Hi.

Hey.

Welcome back.

Constable Raynor. Nice to see you.

You look well.

Eight weeks off. Who wouldn't?

Someone who's been through what you have.

Yeah, well, that's what the counselling's for

and the therapy and the debriefing...

Look, I'm not saying it's all gone away, but I am ready to carry on.

So throw me in the deep end.

Well, a quiet Wednesday morning and the water's still a bit shallow,

but, ah, I'll see what I can find.

Is there any chance I can move into the police residence?

I don't want to go back to the flat. Too many memories.

Yeah, of course.

I must admit that I'm surprised you came back at all.

I mean, the memories can't just be at the flat.

I know.

But it's important for me to deal with this.

To work with the people who saw it all.

If I transferred, I'd feel like I was running away.

Are you alright about working with Ben?

50 bucks, wasn't it?

Huh?

No way she'd come back, not in a million years.

Okay. Okay, so I was wrong.

Good on her for coming back, I say.

Still no problem?

Absolutely not. No.

Hey, Ben.

Ah, yeah.

Sergeant stripes.

Yeah, yeah. They came through this week.

Congratulations. Thanks.

Look, I know it's probably a bit awkward for you seeing me...

No, no.

I just thought we could have a bit of a chat.

A chat?

My shrink thought it was a good idea.

I'm sure yours did, too.

Well, um, I'm not sure...

Means we can sort out any unresolved...

Ben, that was the hospital.

Kid's been bashed.

Kid's been bashed. A kid? How old?

A kid? How old?

Fourteen. Name's Beau Healy.

Right, right. Let's go. No, I'll go.

You sure? Yep.

You sure? Yep. I mean, you big sergeant, me lowly pleb.

I mean, you big sergeant, me lowly pleb.

No, no, it's fine. I'll go.

Can I've a word?

I only left him for half an hour...

..to go to the hairdresser.
