Episode 3

Ryan? Does anyone speak English? We go to Australia.
You take us.
- You take us Australia.
- You take us, please.
I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well.
Seven people died! You killed my daughter! I still don't understand why they're blaming us.
They cut themselves loose when we turned back to Indonesia, yes? That's what we think happened.
You were the one who was on watch that night, weren't you Helen? - You were drunk.
- Well, I don't deny it.
- Ryan Gallagher? - What's this about? Your name has come up in the reporting of a Commonwealth crime.
The AFP is duty bound to test the evidence and see if there are grounds to prosecute.
Why did you turn the yacht around and head to Indonesia? - There were signs of a storm.
- This is a bad idea.
You knew they didn't want to go back.
Cutting them loose would have been doing them a favour Your daughter and my son have been in contact.
Maddie, there are a lot of things you don't know.
Then tell me.
I came here because I feel the need to take responsibility.
You cut the rope? No no, I you cut the rope.
When were you going to tell me you lost your job? How will you pay for food? Rent? Your brother knew that the boat had turned around, and yet he didn't inform anyone, not even you.
Maybe he was going to cut the fishing boat loose.
Give you a chance.
Bil! Nothing, for years, and now he's back? What does he want? I fucked Bree.
- Stop it, you deadshit.
- Shut up, Maddie.
- Let go of me! Don't do it! - Stupid bitch! Lachie! Dad! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Stop! - Stop! - I hate you! - Calm down.
- Lachie, what are you doing? - Calm down! What are you doing? - You okay? What did he do? Lachlan, what is wrong with you? He's in his room.
That's it? Well, what do you want me to do, Bree? You want me to belt him? - No, but he did attack her, Ryan - Yeah, and I'll talk to him.
And me.
When are you going to talk to me? Well, we can't pretend that this didn't happen.
Look what it's doing to us.
To the kids.
They don't know.
They don't have to know.
They can feel it.
Ryan, you can hardly bear to be in the same room as me.
Ryan Gallagher.
I'll be there.
Thank you.
The AFP want me to come in.
They've made their decision.
Mr Gallagher, you are formally advised that the Australian Federal Police have exercised their discretionary powers in this matter and deemed that, due to the absence of conclusive evidence, you have no case to answer.
What what is I don't understand.
What does what does that mean, discretion? It means you can go home.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
There's just some paperwork you have to sign before you go.
Thank you for your time.
Congratulations.
How can that be? Seven people lost their lives.
Does no one have to answer for that? Where are you going, baba? Jordan's.
It's a long ride.
Let me drop you there.
No, no, I'm okay.
You home for dinner? Is Uncle Bilal gonna be there? Habibi, did you really ever think that Bilal was responsible? I love you.
Asad loves you.
And your brother would die for you if he had to.
I don't even know where he is.
He's here.
We all are.
Bilal and Asad, they burn hot.
But they will cool down eventually.
Congratulations, Helen.
Case is closed.
Graham, I should be the one buying you flowers.
Thank you for everything.
You're all off the hook.
You should be happy.
I am.
Just doesn't .
.
feel right.
I sat through all those interviews, Helen.
I don't know what happened out there in the middle of that ocean, but with all the versions I heard, I'm pretty sure that someone in your group isn't telling the whole truth.
So, yes, the decision isn't right.
Something like this is a political hot potato.
I'm not surprised they dropped it.
No one forced them to get on that fishing boat, Helen.
I know this sounds cruel, but they took fate into their own hands when they made that decision.
I think it's time to let it go, don't you, hmm? Focus on what's ahead.
You've got so much to look forward to.
I haven't seen him.
Not for months.
We're not exactly friends.
On the boat.
If you remember.
Bilal went into the water.
I tried to stop him.
But he saw the lifejackets and the dinghy.
He jumped in to save them.
What are the chances .
.
that one of them jumps in your taxi, after so much time? God's will.
God's will.
I suppose it was God's will that my wife and child drowned while I survive? I want to see them.
Nice house.
Pretty family.
If your God led you back to these people, he must have had a plan.
I tried to get justice, Matou.
Justice isn't given, Ismail.
It has to be taken.
Livvy.
I found this.
It was from that, that hawker with the three teeth in Tiananmen Square.
Remember? You stumped up the cash cos I'd run out, so it's yours, really.
You didn't even haggle.
Fifty bucks.
That's okay.
You should have it.
We have to talk, Liv.
There was a there was a reason why I left so suddenly.
And why I didn't get in contact with you afterwards.
I just couldn't face you.
I cheated on you, Liv.
Who? It was Bree.
It was over before it started, honest to God, like it, it just happened.
I just felt so shit about what happened on that boat.
And I, I wanted to, to connect to you.
Only, like, I needed some kind of reassurance, something, because I thought I was the reason that they cut themselves loose, because I'd turned the boat around, and I was going mad thinking about what might have happened to them.
Livvy, I don't, I don't blame you for shutting me out.
Like, I just, I wanted someone to talk to.
That's all I wanted.
I was such a fuckin' idiot.
Just please go.
Just go.
Please, go.
Just go.
Please, just go.
Just go What are you going to do today? You could go for a walk.
Maybe we could go see a film when I finish uni? We haven't done that in a while.
We could go to a romance.
I still haven't found Bilal.
He will be back.
Don't go to Matou again.
You don't need to see him.
I will be back at five, and then we are going out.
Hey.
Hi.
I know it's not fancy, but I thought it was drinkable.
Oh, no, it's, ah it's beautiful.
Well, it's probably cold by now.
I can make you another one, no charge.
Ah, thank you.
Are you all right? I, um I lost my job.
That's rough.
Mm-hmm.
I might be able to swing you a few hours, just casual.
What are you like behind a broom? Oh, like a demon.
Like a demon? Well, that's that's something I've gotta see.
You made the right choice.
Oh, it was just - Just breathe.
- Just need to sleep.
It's okay.
I'll take your watch.
I love you.
It's okay.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Check that out! - What! - Dad, come and look.
Do I get my own room? Where's this? It's Whistler Ski Resort.
We're going.
You've always wanted to go, so - I wanna learn how to do that.
- Yeah, Dad can teach you to do that.
I just booked it today.
It's two weeks.
We're gonna clear the decks and go.
It'll be great.
Just hanging out together.
We Bree, we can't Yeah, we can.
Be a fresh start.
Not this.
It's a fuckin' dumb idea.
It's okay.
You, you tell me.
Tell me what's going to make things better.
Because I've already apologised.
It was a stupid, stupid mistake.
I don't care about that.
Do you want me to beg? Do you, do you want me to beg you for forgiveness? I fucked Damien .
.
four times.
Twice in Kupang and twice back here.
Once on our bed Jesus, Bree, stop.
I lied.
I have betrayed our marriage.
And I'm hurting my children.
Stop it, stop it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll get a new padlock.
- We should report it.
It's trespassing.
- Maybe.
I'm here by myself sometimes.
What if he comes back? I don't think he'll come back.
- How do you know that - Liv, just give it up, all right? Stop whining.
Look, I'll sort it out, okay? Give it to me.
Give it Check.
Nice move.
Maybe you need this more than me.
Your God permits you to smoke but not to drink.
Seems rather capricious of him.
Strictly speaking .
.
I shouldn't smoke.
Perhaps you should start to live a little.
- Ah, Renee? - Yeah? I've finished.
Do you need me to do anything else? No, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.
You can go home.
- You sure? - Yeah, I'll lock up and all's good.
- Okay, ah - Yeah.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Have a good evening, Renee.
Yeah, you too.
You have a good evening.
I close the back door.
All I ever wanted was a normal life for me and my family.
Why? Why should I be punished for that You're not punished, Matou.
Not punished.
The Quran says that - .
.
we are tested.
- Tested! Because without pain .
.
we cannot become stronger, hmm? - Allah wants us to be better.
- Better? Then why doesn't he test the others? Why is it only you and I? We suffer in our own countries, we suffer to leave and then we suffer some more.
We end up in a stinking fishing boat while they they end up in a palace.
Seems to me your God does favourites.
My suffering My suffering deepens my connection to Allah.
He He holds me in his heart! Do you think God loves you? What's happened to us that was not love.
Are you coming? 'Libera me.
' Know what that means? It means "deliver me.
" Deliver me! Deliver me! 'Libera me!' Deliver me! Ismail! Look what I found.
Run! Run Run, run, run! Ismail, come on! Oh, my God! What did the police say? I'm not reporting it.
What? You're joking, right? Look, they they can't just get away with this.
I should have torched the thing myself, years ago.
Ryan? Ryan? Come on, let's get you to school.
Why is Dad so angry all the time? Look at it, Maddie.
Of course he's angry.
It's not just because of that.
You're always fighting with him.
Every day.
You think we can't hear you yelling at each other You're already late.
Come on.
Dad doesn't even talk to me any more.
What did you do to him? Ismail? Where have you been? What happened? Habibi.
Shhh.
Hi.
Um I'd like to report a crime.
Bilal? It's okay.
Hey We open in ten.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Hey.
I, um, I saw a really cool lizard here last time.
Was it a, a water dragon? Are they the ones that go like - .
.
when they see you? - Yeah, that's them.
I don't know how you stay happy .
.
when all this bad stuff's happened to you.
I couldn't do it.
I just try not to think about it.
I still can't go in the water.
Not even a bath.
My, my first swimming carnival, some dick decided to push me in the water.
I freaked out.
Had a full-on panic attack.
It was the shallow end.
The water only came up to here.
Everyone laughed.
That's so mean.
I don't know.
It was pretty funny, though.
Hi.
- So, um - Oh, please.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
That's where I live - and that's where you'll be living.
- Ah.
Um, we can talk about rent later on, - once you've saved up a bit.
- Thank you.
Um, but here it is and I'll open it up.
It's not amazing but make yourself at home.
Try not to wake the neighbours up with your snoring.
Ahh Thank you.
How are you going at school, Maddie? School's good.
Um I like my teachers, mostly.
Maddie's in all the top classes.
Your parents must be very proud.
This is really nice, Mrs Al-Bayati.
Are you after Bilal? Bilal? Suspect's on location, over.
Bilal Al-Bayati, you're under arrest for maliciously destroying property by fire.
Do you understand? Why did you have to report him? He was on the boat.
Well, now he's in jail.
I mean, Christ, Olivia It happened, Helen.
I saw him.
Well, so what? You know, you could just let it go.
It is never going to end.
It is just gonna keep going until it destroys us all.
I mean, is that what you want? Is - that - what - you - want? I was worried about you.
Liv, I know I know that I hurt you.
You know, I didn't even think .
.
with you that I'd ever be capable of doing that.
I kept waiting for you to walk through the door.
Damien, I kept thinking "He's gonna come back.
" I wanted to but I Every day I I didn't it just got harder and harder and then I - Yeah.
- I don't know.
It's okay.
I mean Here.
More old memories? Something like that.
Lachy, can you go to your room? I'll be there in a minute.
But I'm nearly done I just want to talk to Aunty Liv alone.
Please? Liv.
You came to the clinic with me.
You sat with me, holding my hand.
You stayed there for the whole thing.
You were still there when I got out and that whole time you knew.
You knew why Damien left and you never said anything.
You didn't want that baby, Liv.
What's going on? I was hurting, Bree! I would have said anything I just, I just wanted to protect you.
.
You were protecting yourself! Come on, come on.
Come on.
It wasn't your choice to make.
It was mine.
Fuck off.
It was my choice.
Mine! You don't get to make the decisions - about what's right or wrong! - Bree, go.
Just give us a bit, okay? Come on, shh.
Hey.
Hey, shhhh.
- (LIV KEEPS WEEPING) - Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
Look, what Bree did was wrong.
And Damien too.
But I don't think they ever meant to hurt you, Liv.
Liv, talk to me.
You're supposed to trust the people that you love.
They're supposed to stick by you, you're supposed to stick by them.
I can't any more, Ryan.
I saw you.
What? On the yacht.
I saw you.
Liv.
I could have stopped you, but I didn't.
Please don't.
You were the one who cut the rope.
Where's my daughter? She was here for dinner two nights ago, but we haven't seen her since.
If you've done anything to her, I will fuckin' kill you.
I'm the one that cut them loose and I think Maddie knows and I think they know.
Now I can't guarantee that you won't be convicted but I can guarantee you a quality defence.
Now you want to help, hmm? You're too close to these people.
You're compromising yourself.
Whatever you're getting from it, I hope it's worth the sacrifice.
- I heard about Maddie.
- I'm not really sure what to do.
I know.
You missed my turnoff.
Ismail, call me back, please.
Why isn't he answering the phone? When he left, he was very angry.
Oh, my God.
Where's Ryan?
