So, Elliot Stanley? Not ringing any bells.
How do you know me?
Oh, God.
OK, so we met six months ago on Suluban Beach in Bali.
You bought me a drink.
It was a lemon drop martini with Belvedere Vodka.
Things move fast.
I mean, we had this chemistry.
We had this thing. It was like a highly flammable thing.
We stayed in my room for about three days.
And when those were up, we...we moved our flights
so that we could be together for longer.
What was I doing before Bali? You never talked about it.
I just... I stopped asking.
All I know is you cancelled your return flight and you said
you'd stay there with me forever if I wanted.
Guess I must have really liked you. Yeah, you liked me.
Well, the feeling was mutual, so...
So...what happened?
What happened was one day a man with a gun showed up in our hotel
room and he tried to kill us, and you broke his neck.
So that's when I kill the guy.
Yeah, so that's when he kill the guy. Mm. Mm-hm.
Hello?
Hi, you've reached Ethan Krum, if you leave a message at the tone,
I'll be able to connect with you shortly.
Thank you.
Hey, Ethan, it's me.
I'm just checking in.
You're probably still out.
I came here, like I said, and well, now that I'm here,
I don't really know what I'm doing.
I feel a bit stupid, really.
I'll just give it another half hour.
And if they're not back by then, I'll come home.
And well done and all on the promotion.
You deserve it.
You always said you belong in the fish section.
OK. Call me.
I mean, in your defence, it was in your defence, you said
you'd made some bad people angry.
Who were they? Oh, I mean, I don't... I don't know.
Of course not. So...
..then what? Then we just...we went our separate ways.
I mean, listen, you've got to understand it wasn't all plain
sailing between us.
We were different.
Oil and water, chalk and cheese.
Simon and Garfunkel.
You said that...
You said that I should leave and that you'd handle it.
So I left.
Well, I know that's not true or I'm not sitting here right now.
That's because you followed me to Australia.
Yeah, you just kept calling and calling. Oh, great.
So I'm a murderer and I'm needy.
And that's when you got into the accident.
I found out about it and I came to the hospital.
That's when I left the note in your pocket.
So we still have no idea how I'm connected to some fellow
who's been buried alive or why someone decided to blow up a diner
in the middle of nowhere on the day that I was invited
down there? Afraid not. I'll get a charger for this...find out.
Although if what you're saying is true, maybe I don't want to know.
What if all these memories that are buried somewhere inside my head,
they're...they're hiding because they don't want to be found.
You reckon you could do that?
You think that you could just let all of this lie?
I'd like to believe that.
But then I think maybe I'm trying to tell myself something.
Maybe I should listen.
You know, if I know one thing about you
it's that you really don't like to listen.
Could be I'm a changed man.
I don't think that people change.
I think they turn it inside out and repeat it over and over again.
Right.
Like underpants. Yes!
Yes!
Mm-hm, like underpants. Mm-hm.
And you weren't curious about me?
Who I was? I Googled you, a few times, actually,
couldn't find you anywhere...
..and you didn't think that was weird. I didn't care.
I was high on, you know, that crazy little thing.
I'm kind of offended that you can't remember. That good, was it?
Well, you were a gentleman.
I'm glad to hear it.
Well, actually, you had your moments.
Underneath all that violence, there's a heart down there of sorts.
Oh, I sound like a real catch.
You know what I mean.
No, I don't.
Yeah, I really, really don't because I don't know you.
Must be scary. I just don't understand why you didn't say
any of this when you saw me.
I don't know, it was...
It was like, I don't know, all of a sudden
there was this factory reset option.
You know, I could just press the big red button and we could just start
all over again.
How often do you get to do that?
Pretty much never.
I, Um... I really thought that maybe this time it'd work.
I don't know, I guess I was just getting caught up
in some kind of fairy tale. Or the fifth circle of hell. Oh, OK!
What's in the fifth one?
The angry fucks. How do you know that?
I have no idea.
So you and me didn't work? Like you wouldn't believe.
Except then, I mean, sometimes we did...
What was that like? Um...
We had our moments.
But add those moments together and they make a mistake, right?
Trust me, you like it.
It's late.
Yeah, we should get going. Mm.
It's actually a really bad idea to drive in the dark.
So kangaroos, they come straight for the headlights.
Of course, yeah, yeah.
So what do you suggest?
What are you thinking about?
The fact that we've done this before.
And I have no idea.
It's the real tragedy.
We should get some sleep.
Yeah, we should.
Hi.
Hi!
Welcome to Murray Waters. We're here?
Come on, let's get some sleep.
In addition to the sleep you just said. Hey, did I snore?
I don't want to talk about it.
Just a minute!
Oh, sorry.
I was... I was just watching the curling on telly.
It's a beautiful sport. Do you ever watch it?
Oh, it's not for everyone, had to record it,
it's on at mental o'clock in Hungary.
Anyhoo, how can I do you for? Looking for Helen.
She's not here. Sorry, what did you say your name was again?
I didn't.
James Logan, Detective Logan.
I worked with her.
Been working undercover. Oh. Oh, OK.
Well, come on. Ethan.
Pleasure to meet you.
So you were supposed to meet Hel here, were you?
Yeah, sure.
So where is she?
Oh, I am worried about her detective.
I'm not going to lie.
She is off the reservation without a permit.
I don't mind saying. Can I get you a coffee?
I really do need to see her. Just delusions of grandeur,
that's all I can think, you know, it's like ideas above her station.
Yeah, I'll get you a cuppa.
I'm kind of in a hurry here. Ah, it's fine.
I'm making myself one anyway.
Oh, James, Helen has gone full Florence Nightingale
for this amnesia bloke.
You know, it's like he's her responsibility somehow.
Turns out she's given money to the guy to go to Burnt Ridge.
Can you believe that? Burnt Ridge?
Yeah, now she's gone down there too.
I'm, like, "Come back down to Earth, would you?
"The water's warm, love."
So Burnt Ridge is where you'll find her,
Detective James, my friend.
Appreciate it. Cheers.
Listen, when you see her, would you...
would you have a word with her?
You know, maybe just try and talk her down, try
and get her to let some of this stuff go a bit.
Sure can do.
You know, Ethan... I like you.
Helen's lucky to have you.
Real lucky.
Ooh.
Get down. What?
That's... That's the fucking sergeant from Burnt Ridge.
You think they're here for us? No, I think they came here for
the all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast.
Well, why the hell are they here?
They can't know about the body. Um, just a little hunch, but maybe
it's about the bomb that exploded.
The sarcastic thing is really starting to grate. Oh, is it?
I'm fucking loving the stupid question thing that you're doing.
You're still doing it. Oh, am I? Well, it brings me joy.
And doing it again.
OK, shall we?
I'm going to level with you, I'm not loving this entire situation.
They're just going to go to reception and they're going to ask
if there's anyone matching our description
and I don't really trust her.
Well, the shift would have changed since we checked in.
So that should buy us a little bit of time. Come on.
Hey!
Let's go.
That's just down to that corner there?
Yeah, yeah, just come around. Then the next one? Yeah.
Hi!
Hi.
You look so tired, I made you a cuppa. Oh, thank you.
It's OK.
You protect, I'll serve... you a cuppa.
Just pop it back when you're done.
Oh, OK.
Actually...sorry.
Oh, sorry.
Are you Sue? Yes.
Oh, I'm Probationary Constable Helen Chambers with the department
over in Cooper Springs.
Oh! There's a fellow been staying with you,
lost his memory... Oh, yes.
Yes, I know who you mean. Is he OK?
Yeah, I'm not actually sure, to be honest.
Is he in right now? No, I'm afraid not.
He...he went off somewhere yesterday.
I'm not sure when he's coming back.
Oh, would you mind if I come in?
Oh, course, come in!
How are you going?
Oh, don't mind about him.
He's deaf as an adder without his hearing aid in,
and rude. Right.
Deaf as a what now? Oh, it's a saying.
Well, it was, from the Bible.
Supposedly, adders can't hear.
Ah! That's why they're so dangerous. Maybe!
Look, I was just about to head off and do some groceries.
So if there's anything else you want to ask me...
Only if you had any idea where this fellow might have gone?
Afraid not.
He set off with that waitress that works at the diner,
or did before it explozed.
Um, any idea when he might be back?
No, I'm sorry.
Not being very helpful, am I? Oh, that's OK.
I appreciate your time.
Well, I might just wait outside if that's all right?
No, no, no. No, you wait in here.
Ralphy won't mind. Are you sure?
This fella...
..why do you want to talk to him so bad?
Is he in some sort of trouble? Ah...
Well, honestly, I...I don't know.
I mean, pardon my language here, but there are some folk...
folk who want to talk to him, which are dodgy AF.
I mean, a lot of things have happened
since that guy showed up.
I think he might be in trouble.
And well, I think things are going to catch up with him, I reckon.
I mean, it's like that game that people used to play
on their mobile phones, Snake, where the more they move forward...
..the longer their tails get, the more chance
they have of running into themselves.
Hey, mate, have you, um... Have you seen this man?
He's travelling with a young woman who goes by the name of Luci
with an 'I'. Yeah! Why?
Oh, I don't know, I think it's just how she spells her name.
But you said you had seen them, yeah? Yeah.
Stay here, OK? Don't move.
Hey, sir!
Detective Inspector Rogers, he's seen them.
He's seen Luci.
Look at this guy! Seen this man? Yeah, he was in our office yesterday
with some girl. Luci Miller, it has to be them. Why?
I don't know, I'm just... I'm sorry, I'm just excited.
Be less excited.
OK, look, I'm going to have to get you to tell me...
Apologies, I didn't realise the time, excuse me. What?
OK, um, carry on.
Yes, it was Luci, and she signed with an 'I',
which I did not approve of.
I flew her and that fella in the photo to the middle
of the bush.
Did they say why? No, no, they were heaps keen, though.
Then when they left, it was a little weird.
Actually, it was very weird. Yeah.
Can you take us to where you took them? Sure.
My brother has the keys to the chopper, though, and God knows
what pub he's hunkered up in.
That's all right. I mean, we can wait.
All right.
Back in a sec, hopefully!
Well, usually I just roast it for 50 minutes.
Well, because it's all flat, it's all flattened out
because you spatchcocked it, so it'll cook more evenly.
Yeah.
They don't sell a charger for a phone, this old.
Sue should have one at Burnt Lodge. She's a hoarder.
Oh, I forgot that you did this. Did what?
Passive aggressive shit when...
Oh, you knew! This whole time you knew that I was a killer.
What the fuck am I even doing? That you killed someone, not
that you're a killer. What's the difference?
Well, you killed someone in self-defence.
What's gotten into you anyway?
I mean, you seem to all right with it all last night.
Last night was... A mistake?
Well, OK. Yeah, well, old habits, I guess.
I should know better, to be honest, you and me, we're just...
Right, yeah, yeah, Simon and Garfunkel. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even know who the fuck they are!
I just nodded along when you were talking about it.
But I don't know.
And I don't know if I ever knew and I forgot
or I do still know it. I don't fucking...
I don't fucking know anything!
OK, I get it.
No worries.
Look, let's just go back, and when we get there,
we'll just go our separate ways.
It's easier.
Well, yeah, OK, yeah. Just look at that, fine. Here we go.
What do you mean "here we go"? Well, this shit again.
No, just this shit.
To me all of this shit is brand-new. Trust me, it's for the best.
Trust you? Are you fucking joking?!
Who the hell even are you?
Oh, let's not. Come on.
Great.
Fine by me.
So that call you took earlier, I got a buddy who did a stint
in Major Crimes, talk is that every day you make a phone call
at ten no matter what, no matter what you're in the middle of.
I didn't know I was such a hot topic of conversation in police circles.
It's good to know that burning sensation wasn't an ear infection.
I'm sorry. It's just...
..you made that call earlier and... You make priorities in life, Lammon.
That's a decision you make.
I didn't used to. I just worked every hour God gave.
And then I got sick.
Surgery, chemo, spent a lot of time in hospitals...
I got to thinking about what's important.
I didn't want my other half with me, and I'd call her every day at ten.
Even when the chemo had finished, I started getting used to it,
and I just...
I thought about how much I'd wasted time with my head in the sand...
..chasing bitter flies...
..never taking time for what matters.
So are you better now or...?
Still call, don't I?
Hey, I told you he'd come back.
Here you go, success.
Let me take you to the chopper.
Oh, we're going to have to get
you to sign an insurance waiver before we go.
The "not my fault if I kill us all because I'm still drunk
"from the night before" kind of thing.
Is that supposed to be a joke, mate?
Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I flew Apaches for ten years,
so I'll be flying.
You just tell me where.
Well, I don't think... We don't let anybody fly it.
Fuck me dead! She handles like shit!
How old is this thing?
A lady never tells! Here, here, you put it down right here.
So that's it then.
Wow, they're hungry little joeys.
How much milk do they drink in a day?
Do you mind if I...
..making my nipples sore just watching them.
Seeing the danger, he brings the 57th Turkish regiment to...
I'll just get it. ..where the Australians have landed.
Hi. Come in, I guess.
How are you?
Oh yeah, right. Uh, people are just meant to say,
"I'm fine. Thanks, how are you?" when asked that question, right?
Usually. Mm.
Oh, I'm fine. Thanks, Helen. How are you? Yeah... Hi.
Hi.
Helen, this is Luci.
Helen drove home from Cooper Springs to see me.
Oh, right, so you guys know each other?
Yeah. Yeah.
Helen is my only friend in the whole wide world.
Yeah, something like that.
I thought you were leaving.
Yeah, well, I just wanted to come back to see what's on that phone. Why?
Because whether you like it or not, I'm involved in this shit as well.
So I think I deserve to know.
Better get it charged.
So why did you drive all the way down here?
Oh, right, yeah, I actually just wanted to let you know
that there's a guy that's looking for you.
What guy? Helen, what did he want? What guy?
That...guy.
Ralph!
Ralph, get down, please!
Ralph!
Boo.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Come here. We can get out. There's a door. Come here.
We can get out. Come here.
Police!
Yes? Put your weapon down.
What are you going to do with that?
I'm going to shoot you.
Have you ever actually fired a gun before?
Outside of a range?
Put your weapon down.
You couldn't if you wanted to.
What would you look at that?!
Thank you. Come here.
You know what you are, Elliot?
You're a fucking cockroach.
You're a big, bad, pain in the ass cockroach.
Just... Just tell me why!
What is it I've done?
Na.
Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Well, well, well.
Sorry.
Are you... Oh, I'm fine.
So you say, but are a doctor?
Because you don't look like a doctor.
And I'm not a doctor. So you don't know you fine, do you?
I'll get Sweeney to drive her to the clinic.
Just give me one minute.
Hey...
Well, I just wanted to say that I'm really...really sorry.
Is he dead? People don't turn that colour if they're alive, mate.
I mean, I didn't... Shit, I didn't see this.
I was in the chopper playing Dawn of the Vikings.
I was all the way over there. What, and when you took off,
you didn't notice a dead body on the ground?
I was playing Dawn of the Vikings. When I took off, I didn't...
Would you two shut up?! When they came back to the chopper,
did they say anything? Nothing, no.
They didn't mention calling the police? Yes. Yes.
Yeah, yeah, no, the bloke said he wanted me to call the cops
and then he changed his mind. He said, "Don't worry about it."
You didn't think that was strange? I was just thinking about Dawn...
Say Dawn of the Vikings, I will put your head through a wall.
It's me. That bloke we've been after...
I want you to put everyone and everything on him.
What?
There's been a shoot-out at Burnt Ridge.
Right, we'll add this to the list.
Looks like that fella just killed someone.
Mate, if you want to rest, do it later. That didn't need to happen.
Ralph didn't need to...
It wasn't your fault.
Yeah, it is.
The people who are trying to kill me, that's...
Look, that that phone you found must be charged up by now.
Maybe there's something on there that can tell you.
You're not coming?
Not meaning to say I need you again or anything.
We've been down this road before.
We don't work.
I let myself forget that last night and it was stupid.
I'm sorry.
Just see it as a fresh start.
Everything you've done doesn't matter.
It's what you do now that counts.
Where did you get that, a fortune cookie?
No, I got it from my dad just before he died of colon cancer.
Ah. OK, I'm sorry.
That's all right.
I think he got it from a fortune cookie.
Where's my fiancee? Helen Chambers, where is she?
Hey, you.
I appreciate it.
But you didn't have to come all the way here.
Of course I did!
You almost died, babe! No, no.
I just scraped my leg. I could have lost you.
Seriously, I'm OK. Really.
Someone shot at you. No, they weren't shooting at me.
They were shooting at someone else who I was near to.
Look, whatever it was...
..I don't care. I'm just... I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you.
I love you, Shortbread.
I love you, too.
Come on, let's get out of here, shall we?
No. No, no, no, come on, you can't be serious.
I just have a few things that I need to clear up
here first before...
Hey!
You came all the way up here when no-one asked you to
and you nearly got yourself killed
for some guy who doesn't even know his own name.
He saved my life.
There are other people, more important people,
people who are qualified, whose actual job this is.
This is ridiculous.
Come on, let's get in the car.
If we get going now, we can still beat the traffic.
No... I'm not coming.
Look, I've spent a really long time saying that I'm not
this or I'm not that but...
But what if I'm wrong?
What if I am?
And what if I can help this person in this moment in time when
no-one else can?
We've got dance practice at four with Diego.
Look, I just need to ask a few questions, OK?
Hour max. I'll be back.
You could lose me,
Hel, you know that, don't you?
And do you think anyone else would want you?
That's just really mean, Ethan. Stop whimpering.
Diego is coming at four, if you're not home for practice,
don't bother coming home at all.
Ethan, wait!
Um...
Burnt Lodge is just up there. I'm this way, so...
The cops should be gone by now.
What will you do?
Just pack my shit and get the hell out of here.
Anything else I should... I should know? Um...
No, I think I've pretty much told you everything that I know.
So... You have? Yeah.
I'm...
I'm sorry about all this. You know, dragging you into all this shit.
How am I with goodbyes?
Terrible.
Yeah, you always left things on a bad note.
Fuck you. Ha! I suppose.
Yeah. All right.
Fuck you, too.
Argh!
Oh. Oh!
Kostas?
Billy, speak to me.
I was close.
Yeah, they got the drop on me, won't happen again.
You promised.
You haven't been getting overzealous again,
have you, Billy? They'll be breathing,
don't worry.
Just might not have any legs is all. Where are you?
Place called Burnt Ridge. Kostas, serious, I got this.
OK, I'm coming there. Hey, I can handle it, bro.
Great. I'll see you soon, "bro".
Hi. Hey.
I was just getting myself a glass of water here.
How are you doing? Oh, fine.
A bit shook up. Sure.
I just wanted to take a poke around, if that's OK?
Sure, sure. Hey, mind keeping watch for a bit?
Got a text from a bonehead kid, run out of petrol on Wurrung Highway.
Yeah, sure.
Bye.
Hey.
How's your leg?
Oh, you know, painful, but still alive, so...
swings and roundabouts. Yeah.
What happened to the guy in the hat?
Well, he... We lost him.
We lost him. He's... Yeah, he's gone.
Did you find anything on that?
Oh, you know, it seemed really important earlier,
and I wasn't sure if you were... No, it's fine.
It's fine. Yeah. Uh...
Um, looks like it took a real beating in all the mess back
there, collateral damage.
Listen, thanks again for, you know, saving my life and all.
You're a real life-saver, literally. It's grand.
That...that bloke who came after you, he called you, Elliot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did. I forgot.
Elliot Stanley. Helen Chambers. Yeah. Right.
You know, I didn't have you pegged for an Elliot. Huh!
No, what did you...what do you think? I don't know. Maybe a Steve,
or like a Ryan. A Ryan? Really? Jesus, no.
Hey, listen, you could be a Ryan. No.
All units...
..Northern Irish male, mid to late 30s, tall, dark brown hair,
name unknown. Suspect says he's lost his memory.
It's in connection to a murder out of Murray Waters.
So be careful.
I'm just going to go. I...I can't. I can't let you do that.
That's not me...
..who they're talking about, your wee radio.
That's, that... That's not... You can explain that...
That's not me. ..at the station.
I didn't kill anyone.
I don't think. Like I say, it's not my job.
Just come down to the station, explain to the bigwigs and they'll
clear this all up.
OK. Sure.
OK, then.
Look, sorry about this, but I'm going to have to cuff you.
There's no need. It's procedure.
Here we go. Sorry...
Hey!
Please.
I'm sorry.
Open the car.
Give me the keys. Give me the keys.
Fuck. Go.
Just...just take it.
Go, just...just don't hurt me.
I'm going to need you to drive. Why?! I don't think I can...
I don't think I can drive a stick.
Please. Just get in the fucking car.
You wouldn't hurt me. This is not who you are.
You saved my life. See, that's where you're wrong.
I'm... I'm a bad guy, Helen.
That's why people want me dead.
Whatever you may have done in the past doesn't matter, right?
You have another chance now!
We are who we are, all right?
Just get the fuck in, OK?
Where are we going? Just drive.
I have to be home by four.
Tomorrow, your face is going to be on every newspaper
in the country.
You can't run forever.
Now, but today I can. Drive.
She'll be here.
She will.
Um, we can practise till she gets back if you like? Don't worry,
I'll be the lady.
Grab my waist, squeeze me a bit tight there. Sorry, Diego.
OK, yeah. Ready? And one, two, three... Good. Now we do the dip.
It's broken.
I see a number.
I think.
That thing's screwed.
I know a dud when I see one.
Told you, it's a dud.
Just drive, all right.
They tell me Elliot don't remember anything. That's bullshit, right?
No.
Well, lucky him.
How the fuck are you not dead yet? Funny.
I was going to ask you the same thing, Victoria?
