The first 200 lines.
I murdered someone, and now they're after me!
The Russians.
It's my neighbours.
Someone let that woman escape.
Does anyone remember why the hell I sent Robin to Tasmania?
You've entered Frankie's world.
I'm not one of her lot.
If we go down, we go down as a family.
What are you, crazy?
You just incinerated my only ticket out of this shithole.
I feel like I've landed on another planet.
Former whistleblowing mobsters, hired killers,
all of them living in one town,
pretending to be somebody else for the rest of their lives.
Where were you born?
'Denialiquin'.
Den-IL-iquin.
Where did you attend school?
'Denialiquin' High.
Den-IL-iquin High.
What is your mother's maiden name?
That's her first name, innit?
Marion. Margaret.
And your address in Bali?
What is your address in Bali, Bob?
Bob.
That's me, Bob.
Yes, Bob.
There's only two of us here, and my name is Graham.
Robert Regis is now your name.
It's the same name we gave you four weeks ago and said,
"You must commit this to memory."
It's just tricky to remember.
'Bob' is tricky to remember? It is three letters.
Your former name, which you must now forget, is Ben, also three letters.
The first letter is also a B.
That's why we chose 'Bob'.
I got it. Bob. Bob.
Because if you forget your new name and use your old one,
I promise you that every bikie your testimony has sent to prison
will come looking for you.
Alright, I got it. Bob Regis.
And if they find you, like they found your friend,
they will kill you.
Do you understand?
Maybe that's what I deserve for squealing on 'em all.
Oh...
No, you've...
You've done a lot of things wrong, but that's not one.
Now is your chance to put your past behind.
Find that inner angel locked deep inside and just let it soar.
Hmm?
OK.
Now, is there another name that you'd find easier to remember?
Tarquin.
You'd find 'Tarquin' easier to remember than 'Bob'?
It's the name of the first bloke I ever ran through with a knife.
Good. Good. A visual mnemonic.
OK, Tarquin it is.
Can't think when it's hot.
So why did you want us to relocate you to Bali?
Didn't know Ubud was in Bali.
Well, what sort of climate do you prefer, Tarquin?
Somewhere cold.
Wet.
Come with me, Tarquin.
Apologies for dragging folk out at this late hour,
and I know many of you have concerns over recent events.
After 10 years of no-one troubling us,
this woman appears with her two children,
claiming to have bought Billy Gurvan's old property.
I didn't know anything about it.
Graham knew nothing about it.
So I thought I should ask, before we deal with her,
is she connected to anyone here?
Show of hands?
Therefore, we must ask ourselves,
why is she here?
And what is her future with us?
Now, I think you should all see this.
Sammy?
Ah...
Arthur?
Arthur, pet?
Take that outside, love.
We've got things under control here. Now...
Here is her arrival with her two children,
and using Jeremiah to drive her in,
thus avoiding our usual entry protections.
And this,
a government woman from the Finance Department, comes here
and is asking questions about everyone
and using our real names.
How did she know them?
We'll never find out,
because this one broke into my shed
and helped her escape.
Clearly, they were in league.
So, my friend. Might have to see...
What are you getting all excited about? You've got a pair of fours.
And I happen to have three queens.
Could you see who that is, please?
I'm rounding up a posse to save my mum.
Will you join me?
Oi, Jeremiah. Pick up, you ugly bastard.
Unbelievable. Jeremiah, are you hearing me?
Son, pick up. Very busy, Dad.
I need you to get off her and come help us.
Where are ya? In the car.
Left! What? Who's driving?
Left, Grandpa, left.
Oh, Jesus. What was that?
They were just letterboxes. Fuck!
The question is, does this woman pose an unacceptable threat?
She's the mother of two kids. Oh.
I could look after her kids.
I've got plenty of space.
Plenty of love in my house.
Oh, no. Oh, my God.
Left, Grandpa, left!
Going left.
Right, Grandpa. Right, alright.
OK, now straighten up.
I think we'll be good.
Brake, Grandpa, brake!
Oh!
She must be allowed to speak.
Not our way.
I need to hear from this bitch.
Might be worth a little listen, eh, Drago?
The woman forfeited all rights.
And you forfeited your brain years ago.
Let her speak.
Not our custom.
Maybe we could make it our custom.
Maybe.
Maybe we could.
Who here thinks this is right?
Who here thinks this town is operating the way it should?
Seriously?
How is this woman running a drug empire keeping anyone safe?
It pays everyone.
It keeps our little town running.
The world put us here and then promptly proceeded to forget us.
I did not.
I have devoted my life to protecting those here.
You were put here?
Everyone? All of you?
Everyone in this town is on witness protection?
Well, then, I'm the same.
Fucking liar! No, no.
Graham would have said something. No, it's true.
I...I am. I am as well.
Fine.
Let's put it to a vote.
Show of hands?
What does that... What is happening?
What... What are you going to do with that?
What's that for?
What... Hang on.
You can't... Please. Someone help me!
This is not right.
I'm not comfortable with this either, Frankie.
We had a vote. She lost. Big shame.
No, Frankie, don't do this.
Stop this! Now! This is enough!
You are all better than this.
We have this under control, Graham.
And Joseph has no business being here.
Oh, is that right?
I've more business than any of you lot.
My grandfather built this place.
Who's holding her? Tarquin.
Tarquin?
Let her go, mate.
This woman and her children pose absolutely no threat to any of you.
You can't guarantee that.
You really think that this woman is protecting you?
Let me ask you
why a government official was snooping around in the first place?
I can fix that.
May we know how?
By restructuring your finances.
Sheltering your money in places the governments won't look.
I...I can...I can generate income streams
that will feed a far better lifestyle for all of you.
I...I can do that.
I promise.
You've got two minutes.
I mean, it...it comes down to...
..the analytics.
You read the bounce rate,
you analyse key and emerging markets.
You take equity positions that optimise risk management
but return big yields.
You diversify.
Benefits only come with risk.
I know this.
I've turned million-dollar losses into $100 million profits.
It's what I do.
