Lina!
You're not abducted.
Locked in a fucking basement.
I think you've done something
to her.
I wouldn't.
BRENNAN: We have a woman
last seen by hospital staff
eight hours ago
and no sign of her since.
DAN: You didn't know it
at the time,
but this is the night
that we met.
It's my girlfriend.
I'm a little bit worried.
Have you done anything
that might have scared her?
No.
I'm pregnant.
CLARE ON REEL: Our friend,
Lina Phillips, is missing.
Her boyfriend, Dan Moore,
is also MIA.
-(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
-DAN: It's true.
-CAIN: You checked Pa's house?
-There was no sign of her.
Did they check underneath?

(THEME MUSIC)
LINA: Weak carotid.
Unresponsive.
She's lost a lot of blood.
Gunshot wound, lower abdomen.
Uh, CPR for the last 10 minutes.
PARAMEDIC: Well, let's get her
into the ambulance.
FIREFIGHTER:
Get around the back?
FIREFIGHTER 2: I can't.
Access is pretty tight.

(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)
PARAMEDIC: Thank you.
(SIREN GROWS LOUDER)
(SIREN STOPS)
OFFICER: You're the woman
who called?
Yeah. Uh, Tilet and
Tile and Carpet Emporium
in Granville,
you need to call the owner.
There's a woman who works
there - Harriet Goldsmith -
she's in very serious danger.
A man named Dan Moore
threatened to kill her.
Uh, update on Andrew Road fire,
Brooklyn.
I need a welfare check
on a Harriet Goldsmith,
employee at, uh,
Granville Carpet Empor
(BIRDS CHIRP)
(LINA SIGHS)
TESS: Lina!
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
TESS: Hey.
TESS: I just wanted
to fuck him up so bad.
To be clear, you're not
actually preggo, right?
I remembered a case -
this dickhead beat
the shit out of his wife
because her pee stick came back
positive while he was overseas.
Turns out she had back pain
and had been taking tramadol.
CLARE: Jesus Christ.
What are we looking for?
Dan's backpack.
Why?
It was never Axel.
It was Dan.
And the backpack proves it.
Babe
(BACKPACK RUSTLES)
You said they were damaged.
It's soaked.
Are they salvageable?
Nothing's truly unsalvageable,
but I don't know.
We can try someone more proper.
I can make some calls.
Hey, Charlie's Angel?
I'm only just seeing them.
OK, I'm gonna say this again.
This is actual evidence.
And by not turning it in,
we're committing a crime.
We will, once we take a look.
A look, also known as
fucking with chain of custody.
Tess, Brennan is in surgery, OK?
By the time they assign
someone new to the case,
Dan could be anywhere.
I can't wait for that.
It's the best I've got
right now.
CLARE: She's right, Tess.
Alright.
Thank you.
(MOODY MUSIC)
(LINA GRUNTS SOFTLY)
(SOBS)
(SOBS)
CLARE: Took them long enough
to send a unit.
LINA: That's what I'm saying.
With Brennan in surgery, it's
TESS: Alright, we get it.
I just don't understand
why Glenn hasn't texted.
It's only been, like,
three hours.
Look, we've done all we can.
The cops are onto Dan now.
We've all given our statements.
They've got his description
and they've seized his unit.
But they haven't caught him.
And every second they don't,
he could be hiding
around the corner
waiting to get me,
or Harriet, or all of us.
According to my DMs,
he's in another state.
Look at this one.
This woman reckons
she saw him in Broome.
Look, not to derail,
but I should get back.
Zara's at Steve's.
He's wondering
where the fuck I am.
(SIGHS) Sorry.
Fuck. Oh, my God.
You you have a kid. I
Dan did this to you.
You don't need to feel sorry.
None of us do.
(KISSES)
-Love you.
-Love you too.
Any updates,
call me immediately.
-TESS: Yeah.
-CLARE: Awesome.
Make sure you deadlock the door.

You scared the shit out of me.
What the fuck are you doing?
What if he broke in here?
He could be watching you.
He could he could be
watching us right now.
-Hey
-(LOUDLY) Are you? You fuck!
TESS: Hey. Hey, look at me.
-It's OK, Lina.
-I don't feel OK.
There's nothing up there.
You don't know that.
Check for reflections. (MUTTERS)
(MIRROR SHATTERS)
Stop! This is my house.
(LINA GASPS
AND BREATHES SHAKILY)
OK.
LINA: OK.
I'm sorry.
You don't need
to feel sorry, OK?
Listen, it's not gonna be
tonight or tomorrow,
but one day,
you're gonna realise
you're gonna realise
that you are safe, OK?
(LINA SOBS)

-Can I help you?
-Yeah.
Um, do you have
any rooms available?
Uh, yeah, there's plenty, but,
uh, check-in's not till 2:00.
2:00?
Erin. Hey.
Your name's Erin?
That's such a beautiful name.
Oh, really?
No. Sorry, not like that.
My mum's name was Erin.
She, um
She passed away recently,
that's all.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Look, Erin, I've been driving
all night.
I'm so tired.
You'd really be saving my neck.
Please?
How long are you staying?
One night.
Thank you.

Hey, uh, word up, VicPol.
Tell them I want them
to be on top of it
in case he ends up south.
Oh, as soon as
I bloody can, mate.
-(BRENNAN SCOFFS)
-LINA: Hi.
-(BRENNAN PUTS PHONE DOWN)
-How you doing?
(SIGHS) Alive.
Bullet missed everything
I couldn't live without.
The ambos told me
what you did for me.
Thanks.
Just did what I had to do.
Same as you.
Uh, I've got the KALOF out
on Dan's car.
Cops all over the state are
looking for a green Land Rover.
His photo is up
on every noticeboard
within a thousand kays
from here.
Um,
what about Harriet?
She didn't show up for work.
The store owner
gave us her address,
but it was empty by
the time we got there.
-What what if Dan
-No, we'll find her.
And we'll lock up his arse.
You don't even know his name.
Don't speak so soon.
Andrew Wilson.
Born December 12, 1989.
Forensics found a school ID
in the storage unit.
He's a trust fund kid,
raised here in Sydney.
Parents John and Amanda Wilson.
His dad's a criminal barrister
in Pyrmont.
His dad's still alive?
Oh, yeah. Well and truly.
So he's just lied
about everything.
Look, I'm confident
we'll get him.
But making an arrest
is just the starting line.
-LINA: Mm-hm.
-Go home.
Be safe.
(SIGHS)

ERIN: Sorry, I was just
You OK?
DAN: Oh, yeah.
Hey, um, can you help me
with something?
All good with the room?
The room's the room's great.
Um
I have this cut on my back
and I can't reach the spot.
Yeah, I I backed into a bolt.
I don't know.
I think you need a doctor.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
It's my wife.
She she overreacts sometimes.
I just I don't want
to get her in trouble.
All I need you to do is put some
iodine on a pad and pop it on.
And I'm I promise not to cry.
Very much.
Two minutes.
Thank you.
OK. Here, you start with that.
(SIGHS)
(GRUNTS)
It looks infected or something.
(DAN GROANS)
Uh, how long
have you been married?
Uh, we got together
in high school.
I had that too.
Then he cheated on me
with my best friend, so
I'm sorry.
Yeah, we used to be perfect.
She made me feel so safe.
Yeah, nothing lasts.
You over it yet?
You know, Mum says that
the best way to get over a man
is to get under a new one.
(LAUGHS)
(PACKAGES RUSTLE)
There you go.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
(PACKAGE RUSTLES)
You OK?
No, I just I have

when I leave reception.

-It's Clare.
-TESS: Oh!
Babe.
CLARE: A woman just messaged me.
She's one of my subs.
She thinks she found him.
-What?
-Where?
The Two Pines Motel
over by the airport.
Is she sure?
She said he's hurt, knife wound,
and she described
his mountain tattoo.
Tess Tess, we need to hurry.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Just send me her number.
I'm gonna call her.
(DARK MUSIC)
What are you doing?
(PHONE RINGS)
-LINA: Erin?
-Yes?
My name's Lina.
We got your message.
-Can you talk?

Can you describe the man to me?
Uh, he's, uh uh, tall,
built, curly black hair.
Do you know what kind of car
he drives?
Uh four-wheel drive.
It's green.
Uh
Can you see what he's doing?
Oh, my God, he's coming.

Fucking minutes.
TESS: I mean, at least
he's on foot now, right?
ERIN: That looked like the one
I've been seeing everywhere.
I feel like an idiot. (SNIFFLES)
Hey
you did a really,
really brave thing.
You should feel proud.
Hey, he didn't
happen to tell you where
he might be going, did he?
Like, a person or a place or
I thought, "That's it."
"He's gonna break through
and kill me."
(ERIN SOBS)

It's a year's worth
if you add it up.
It's pretty fucked up.
I still can't believe
you recovered anything.
I'll take that as a compliment.
The file names
might look confusing,
but it's just dates and times.
And the locations,
uh, seem random,
but this list alone has over 30.
Fuck. Do you mind?
Yeah.
(PRESSES KEYS)
TESS: This is so creepy.
Hey, um, what what's that?
With the different file names?
-GLENN: Those are deleted files.
-Deleted?
GLENN: Yeah, usually you might
think you've deleted something,
but nothing's actually erased
until the sector's overwritten.
TESS: What are you thinking?
Oh, I mean, Dan's a collector, right?
So since when would a collector
delete their prized possession?
TESS: Hmm.
Is this another NestShare?
No, that's Pa's house.
How long ago was this?
-LINA: Wait.
-(GLENN TAPS KEY)
Uh, that
See the the drop sheets.
Must have been before
we finished painting.
Um, hey, can you
pull up that one?
(VIDEO PLAYS INAUDIBLY)
That's Axe.
(VIDEO CONTINUES INAUDIBLY)
LINA: Is there audio?
(TAPS KEY)
AXEL: What is this?
DAN: It's nothing.
Axe.
AXEL: Wow.
Wow, you're disgusting.
You filmed her
and then you messaged her.
DAN: No, it's just
a misunderstanding.
-You're a prick.
-Please don't tell her anything.
-You're fucked.
-Please, please, please.
-You are
-I will leave.
-And I will never come back.

When were you planning
to turn this over?
I'm doing it now.
Withholding evidence is a crime.
You know that, right?
He must have loaded Axel's body
into the car.
Driven him to the cliffs,
pushed him off.
Cleaned everything up.
Then when you caught on
to something
Set up Cain to look guilty.
He played all of us.
When can you get Cain released?
I'll get this to the DPP.
They'll want to go through it.
Push them.
Get him out.
Uh, we've locked down
Dan's cards.
I've got his folks
under surveillance.
So, a waiting game.
-BRENNAN: Mm-hm.
-OK.
Until he slips up
or decides to surface.
LINA: Mm-hm. Hmm.
Hey, you escaped,
you uncovered his true identity,
crimes against dozens of
people - hundreds, maybe -
and you solved a murder.
You're saying I should be happy?
I'm saying
you should be satisfied.
Hmm.
Every time I close my eyes,
I'm just back
in that basement again.
(DOOR CLOSING ECHOES)
LINA: I think I always will be.
And I don't feel satisfied.
Not even a little fucking bit.
And I don't feel safe.
And I don't know
that I ever will.
Even if you catch him.

Hey.
Free man.
Thanks to you.
I've brought you some stuff.
It's just some clothes.
Toothbrush, phone.
They still use phones out here?
Right, Shawshank.
Listen, Cain
I'm so sorry.
For everything.
I did love you.
Well, I still do.
Probably always will.
Um, but, you know
Things are different, right?
I wish they weren't.
You should be angry with me.
Oh, I am.
Really fucking angry, actually.
-Right.
-(CAIN SCOFFS)
But I'm also angry at myself.
For how I was.
Brennan told me
about what happened.
The house, it's it's all gone?
Pretty much.

the cops come rip this place up.
Not sure if
you're even watching.
Except, of course, you are.
You're always watching.
You can't help yourself.
It's over, Andrew.
There's nowhere to run.
No-one to come save you.
You're broken.
You're always gonna be

Dispatch said
I might find you here.
Can you give us a sec?
Yeah, just
You stopped taking my calls.
Just trying to move on, I guess.
Any news?
Yeah, we found something.
First lead we've had for weeks.
Dan's stolen car.
It was dumped in a vacant lot
about a month ago,
judging by the tickets.
I've been doing the rounds,
trying to find witnesses.
And?
No-one saw anything.
What about you?
Any letters, calls, texts?
No, sorry.
No, don't be.
That's that's good.
(SIGHS)
Alright, well,
we're gonna head back to base,
try to miss traffic if we can.
Hey, Harriet said that
you're rebuilding
your grandpa's house.
-Trying to.
-Back to the way it was?
Mostly.
What about the basement?
You still have that nightmare
about it?
I did.
Yeah, I did, every night.
I used to wake up
covered in sweat,
convinced I was still down there
and I could hear his voice
calling to me.
And, um
And then I realised something.
The only way to get rid of it
is to get rid of the basement.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

so it can't hurt me.

What are we looking for?
Dan's backpack.
Why?
It was never Axel.
It was Dan.
And the backpack proves it.
Babe
(BACKPACK RUSTLES)
You said they were damaged.
It's soaked.
Are they salvageable?
Nothing's truly unsalvageable,
but I don't know.
We can try someone more proper.
I can make some calls.
Hey, Charlie's Angel?
I'm only just seeing them.
OK, I'm gonna say this again.
This is actual evidence.
And by not turning it in,
we're committing a crime.
We will, once we take a look.
A look, also known as
fucking with chain of custody.
Tess, Brennan is in surgery, OK?
By the time they assign
someone new to the case,
Dan could be anywhere.
I can't wait for that.
It's the best I've got
right now.
CLARE: She's right, Tess.
Alright.
Thank you.

I just don't understand
why Glenn hasn't texted.
It's only been, like,
three hours.
Look, we've done all we can.
The cops are onto Dan now.
We've all given our statements.
They've got his description
and they've seized his unit.
But they haven't caught him.
And every second they don't,
he could be hiding
around the corner
waiting to get me,
or Harriet, or all of us.
According to my DMs,
he's in another state.
Look at this one.
This woman reckons
she saw him in Broome.
Look, not to derail,
but I should get back.
Zara's at Steve's.
He's wondering
where the fuck I am.

Dan did this to you.

She didn't show up for work.
The store owner
gave us her address,

-No, we'll find her.
And we'll lock up his arse.
You don't even know his name.

He's a trust fund kid,

His dad's a criminal barrister

Withholding evidence is a crime.

He must have loaded Axel's body
into the car.
Driven him to the cliffs,
pushed him off.
Cleaned everything up.
Then when you caught on
to something
Set up Cain to look guilty.
He played all of us.
When can you get Cain released?
I'll get this to the DPP.
They'll want to go through it.

Get him out.

I've got his folks
under surveillance.
So, a waiting game.

Until he slips up

Hey, you escaped,
you uncovered his true identity,

you should be satisfied.
