Jack Irish: Dead Point
1
How long
is this going to take?
Buggered if I know.
A couple of hours?
How many are they checking?
12?!
I only know what the paperwork says.
I don't actually pack them, you know.
And you drag me out of bed for this
sh*t. It's the middle of the night.
That's a federal warrant,
Mr Cundall,
and we'll drag you out here
any time we like.
I know what it is.
Mate, that's yours.
You know what? I just hope you're
checking next door's yard as well.
I'll mail it to you.
Yeah, you do that.
Look, it's on the bloody bottom.
We'll be here all night.
Have you organised something?
Surprise.
Huh. What'd I tell you?
Smack.
One-and-a-half kilos at a guess.
Where's the rest of it?
Keep looking.
Hey, what's that? Get him!
Roger, VKC,
we have a visual on a red Porsche
travelling North towards the bridge.
He looks like he's making
for the freeway on-ramp.
He's heading under the bridge.
We've lost visual.
He's gone.
Affirmative. The target has gone.
Sienna?
What have you done?
Put these on.
Are you gonna talk to me?
You can't be here.
They'll be coming for me.
What have you done, Robbie?
You have to go.
Give me that!
Talk to me!
You have to go, Sienna,
it's not safe.
You have to get the hell out.
Robbie...
NICK CAVE:
Red Right HandTake a little walk
to the edge of town
And go across the track
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie
in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey, man, you know
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm
comes a tall handsome man
with a red right hand.
Good morning, Melbourne.
3KB Talk Radio.
Linda Hillier with you.
Big night on the waterfront,
and joining us now
to dissect it,
having just flown in this morning,
and I mean that literally,
she flies her own plane.
Indeed I do.
The Independent Member for
Gippsland East, anti-drug crusader,
Susan Ayliss.
Welcome to the program.
Good morning, Linda.
Good morning.
We're hearing reports of shots fired
High-speed chase, stolen Porsche.
Seems Justice Loder's report on
waterfront corruption
can't come out soon enough.
The facts are still emerging here,
so we'll continue to monitor
and assess them.
But right now I think we all need to
take a deep breath rather...
You fought tooth and nail for three
years for this Judicial Inquiry.
In fact, you're on record
on this very show
accusing Cundall Stevedoring
of collusion with organised crime.
Linda, far be it for me, or anyone,
to pre-empt the findings
of the Loder Report.
Customs, the Maritime Union
and our stevedores
do a commendable job
in challenging circumstances...
We'll take a short break. My guest
is Susan Ayliss, this is 3KB.
What the hell was that?
Free ad for the MUA?
You just lost your guest.
I don't appreciate being cut off.
Then spare me the back-pedal, Susan.
You have no idea what I'm up against.
Here. Found his ID.
Wrong end, brain cell.
Looks like OD.
Jeez, you're good. Hard to believe
you're still a sergeant.
Robert Colburne,
another happy customer.
Was he a person of interest
to the Drug Squad, Ollie?
Yeah, yeah, that's him, the prick.
One of our informants.
I'll tell you what, Baz, we'll take
over from here if you don't mind.
Go nuts.
Oi, get over here.
Get on the business end here.
Barry?
You still looking for your bloke
Robbie Colburne?
Oh, yeah, flat chat. I can confirm
he's not buying a latte at Enzio's.
Probably because he just carked it
chasing the dragon over at Burnley.
You owe me drinks.
Plural.
And you know
that 'bookkeeper'
is the only word
in the English language
with three sets of double letters
all next to each other? Amazing.
- Fellas.
- Jack.
That hot tip you gave us last
Saturday, still running, is she?
Stone motherless.
Bloody pet food.
Speaking of that, how's the new
breakfast menu working out?
Wide berth, Jack. Wide berth.
Hey, Jack, no, you can't bring that
in here.
We do our own now.
I did a barista course. Online.
Invested in this little baby.
I hope you kept the receipt.
Stan, I'm more than happy to pay you
for an empty mug, mate.
And four of your amber
breakfast brew.
Make that five actually.
This bloke of yours, pretty much
Pretty strange place to OD though,
in your own garage.
The Porsche he stole
had seat warmers.
That the Porsche from the docks?
Mm.
Mate of mine on the Drug Squad said
he was a snitch. He's all over it.
Olsen. Good operator. Old culture.
How was that, Barry?
It was genuinely shithouse, Stan.
Ellie?
Jack.
Hi.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
You too.
I was just dropping this off.
Oh, what's the occasion? You're not
finally divorcing Jamie, are you?
A christening. We had a baby.
A girl.
Oh, congratulations.
That's fantastic.
Thank you.
Wow.
Jack, we've named her Isabel.
I'm hoping that's OK.
Did you want to meet her?
She's in the car with Mum.
Sure.
Mum?
Hi, Pat.
Oh, Jack.
It's been too long.
It has.
Congratulations.
Beautiful, isn't she?
Yeah.
So, will we see you there?
Try and stop me.
Isabel!
Trouble is, you have
a romanticised view, Jack.
the honeymoon phase.
You never made it to
