It's all legal.

You heard of trafficking?

Jesus, Jay.

Well, how do you know

they're not being trafficked?

How do you know they are?

Don't make no difference.

That kind of sh*t

ain't my watch.

Belongs to the Feds.

Do you know where

they keep the girls?

That ain't your concern.

And why ain't it yours?

You on the take?

Part of the security team?

What?

You calling me

dirty there, Jay?

That what you're doin'?

Callin' me dirty?

Who's letting the grog

into Broken River?

It's a dry community

and it's soaking with piss.

And it's on your watch.

Askin' or callin',

whatever you want it to be.

Brother boy.

Where you from?

Oh, here and there.

What were you

doing up at Broken River?

Just lookin' around.

Well, you see,

we got protocols out here.

This is not your country

to go walkin' around on.

You're a guest here.

Just like the white man.

You understand,

brother boy?

[car engine starts]

Mr. Swan. Come on in.

Sit down.

You can call me Maureen.

Milk and sugar?

Now, Mr. Swan...

Jay, isn't it?

I'm going to call you Jay.

I heard something

about a missing person.

You see, there's not much

I don't know about

when it comes to Goldstone.

Now, out here, Jay,

we run a very tight ship,

where even the smallest stones

can cause mighty big ripples.

And we don't take

too kindly to mob who come in

and throw stones

with no reason.

Young Josh is a good boy.

Took him a while,

but he understands

how this place works.

So I suggest you keep

your head down,

keep those waters

nice and still.

Yeah?

Oh, and this is for you.

I was planning

to give you just one slice,

but I thought,

what the hell.

Hope you got a sweet tooth.

Thanks for the little chat.

And if you need

anything, just ask.

And I mean anything.

Hey, Josh.

Gidday, Mick.

Looking for a bit of love?

Oh, not tonight.

Bit of business, actually.

Oh, yeah,

what kind of business?

You got foreign

workers here, yeah?

Yeah, like usual.

They got work visas?

As far as I know.

Why, is there a problem?

No, no, no.

No, just an inquiry.

An inquiry?

Yeah.

Yeah, I want to talk to 'em.

What, now?

Yeah.

Well, they're busy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Won't take long.

You know, Josh,

some people might

call this a raid.

Come on, Mick,

it's not a big deal.

Excuse us, Mick, Mrs. Lao.

You girls speak English?

Are any of you girls

here against your will?

Has anybody threatened you

in any way?

[sighs]

Are any of you being

forced to pay back money?

Okay, thanks for your time.

Today here we make history.

Today we guarantee

your community's security.

We're talking

about infrastructure.

We're talking jobs and training.

Getting those lost kids
