The first 193 lines.
I am just a silly backpacker who has lost her passport.
I'm not staying. I'm being deported.
Have you seen my family? They must be here.
There... there are places like this all over Australia.
- - Oh!
You're not gonna make me take
- my veil off, are you, Cameron? - Course not.
- Everybody get under cover! - Inside!
You get those Tamils off the roof
or I will send someone out there who can.
We're leaving them there?
Provided no-one can see them and they remain hydrated.
Mina-jan!
Hold him still. -
They stop respecting us, this is what happens.
I sent you out there to get us off the news.
"Australia's detention regime is an example..."
"... reflection of our highly developed..."
"... Australia... a reflection.
"Australia's detention regime is a reflection
"of our highly developed migration system..."
... enabling us to determine both the identity of asylum seekers
and the legitimacy of their claims for protection.
And it allows us to do that
in a way that protects our national security and order.
If you have a camera, we will find it!
Do not impede the officers on their search!
Follow all their directions!
A detainee was assaulted in your facility.
What about his safety?
Well, of course, there will be an investigation conducted.
But I want to reiterate that our staff are highly trained
and fully cognisant of the sensibilities required
to work at a centre such as Barton.
Rise and shine, princess!
Ohh!
Our standards, in keeping with international guidelines,
are among the highest in the world.
This is a first-class facility.
Every time! You're harassing us!
You okay, brother?
You gonna say anything?
Are you?
I saw the incident report.
She's calling it reasonable and proportionate force.
- Get back! - Get back!
- Stand back. -
T-22!
- What would Allah say about that, eh? - That isn't mine!
- Not mine! - Mr Cam?
- Yeah. Hi. - Good morning.
- May I speak with you about something? - Not now, mate.
Later. Alright?
I don't have to do anything you say.
You don't do anything...
I found it! I found it! It was under the sink!
- - Alright.
Found it!
It has to be one of the single men
because the camera was found in their compound.
Well, find out which one.
And who they smuggled the memory card out to.
This is a fucking disaster.
The UNC has complained that the officers beat him without reason.
No, hey, look. Hey, hang on a minute,
Okay? He's just one side of the story.
I'm speaking with my officers and I've requested the security footage.
- So, that should tell us. - Oh, good.
- Clare? - Mm. Yep.
Yes.
I don't have to tell you how bad this looks.
- I am gonna find out what happened. - No, you leave that to KORVO.
I want you to focus on the leak.
What if they get another camera in there and more pictures get out?
You've gotta shut this down.
- That's my job. - Yes, that's right.
I want a list of all visitors to UNCs in the last month.
- That's gonna be a long list. - I want to know who
the troublemakers are, who the complainers are.
- Who's not complying. - That's gonna be a very long list.
Brian, the UNC was beaten by your officers on your watch.
Get me the list.
Broke a wrist trying to break up a fight
between the Shiahs and the Sunnis.
Tore a ligament in my shoulder doing an uplift, and in my knee.
Nearly had to have surgery.
And, you know, the other day, the Mandaeans swung a kettle at me.
Thank Christ it hadn't boiled.
But, you know, does anyone care that we get the bash every other day?
My mum does.
- Aw! She kiss you better too? -
You, you and you, stay. The rest of you, back to work.
Explain this to me.
Now, how is it
that the UNC sustained his injuries
in one of only half-a-dozen places in this centre
not covered by the CCTs?
I thought everywhere was covered.
This is a formal investigation.
I will be interviewing each of you separately.
Until that time,
refrain from speaking to each other about the incident.
Understood?
Yes, boss.
We just have to stick together.
We're all together or we all go down.
Don't pussy out on me.
Are you the case officer for TOR-076?
The boat that sank.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Does the daughter have to remain in detention?
Youth Services gave her the choice of returning to the foster family.
She insisted on staying with her father.
So they'll both get visas?
Can't say 100%,
but there's a clear history of persecution, so...
a good chance.
Pedar-jan.
Pedar-jan!
Pedar-jan!
Please, pa sho...
You'll all get fed. Hey. Hey.
- - Hey, no pushing. No pushing!
Psst! Mina!
How's your father?
He sleep all time from pills they give him.
He need a doctor, a real doctor.
Leave it with me. Okay?
Uh, no food allowed out of the mess.
My father, he need to eat.
There's health regulations. Move along.
Here. It's for your dad.
Put it in your pocket.
When the guards clear the door, go.
Hey, hey! Get down from there! Get down from there!
- - Oh, too slow!
- Get down off the table now. - I'm warning you!
- Get down now! - Okay, everybody in their chairs!
Get down! Get down now!
- Do this! Wear that! -
Line up! Lie down! Whoo!
Oh!
- Get down! Get down! - Sit down right now!
- Get off the table now. -
You think we are nothing, but we are something!
We can be whoever we want to be!
Because we are extraordinary!
We are stars!
- We are brilliant, shining stars! -
You're pretending to be someone else.
This is the real Eva Hoffman.
She reported her passport stolen.
It's a common name.
Same date of birth, same place of birth.
I have to go home to Germany.
You don't understand.
It is not safe for me here, in this country.
Please!
I'm sorry, but you're stuck here indefinitely
unless you tell me who you really are.
Shh!
I am Eva Hoffman.
- Pa shodan. -
Medication!
He not need those. Please! Please don't give him.
Don't let anyone else see that.
All detainees to refrain
from using the Tango Compound laundry
due to flooding.
Hey. Smoke?
Want a smoke? Here.
Here. Have a smoke.
It's okay. Mm.
Here.
Hmm.
I saw your performance earlier.
That was impressive.
The world should know what they are doing to us here.
Soon they will.
Mm.
On Sunday, people from outside, Australians,
they are coming from everywhere to protest against this,
how we are locked up,
when all we seek is freedom.
That is all I want.
Good. Well, we need to be heard.
We need to be seen.
When you get out of here,
and you will,
people will be very interested in you.
The lily among the reeds.
They will want to know why someone who looks just like them
trapped in a place like this.
