Last King of the Cross 1x6

1. You're going to make ten times as much as you do now?

2. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds too good to be true.

3. So how did you go?

4. He's in, I reckon.

5. I can arrange anything you want.

6. I'm like Sam's lieutenant.

7. Ah, fuck. Look out. Here she comes.

8. Charlie's Angels.

9. Apparently Johnny went from doorman out in Parramatta

10. to owning three clubs in the Cross in a heartbeat.

11. Maybe he won lotto.

12. Liz Doyle. She made contact with you yet?

13. She's looking at me.

14. She's also pretty interested in you, and your mates.

15. - Where's Sammy? - He's busy.

16. Stop!

17. Sam, people rely on us now.

18. I need you here.

19. I used to really think

20. he was one of the best people I know,

21. and now he's just a fucking cockhead.

22. People respect you Sam, because you're not like this.

23. You know when I was a kid I would've followed you anywhere.

24. Pick up.

25. Sam.

26. Hey bro, was just coming to see you.

27. What are you doing?

28. You want to go get something to eat?

29. Hit the gym after.

30. No man, fuck off!

31. Right oh, I was just seeing if you wanted to.

32. Get off the bloody road.

33. You don't own the joint, mate!

34. Hold on a minute.

35. Hang on.

36. Jesus Christ! Come on man.

37. I can't go through this again, please.

38. Here you are.

39. Take it.

40. He's a different person when he's on it.

41. He scares me.

42. Oh fuck. He kicked this guy's windscreen in

43. just because he honked his horn at him.

44. - He ever off it? - I don't know.

45. Did you go to the apartment?

46. I did, yeah. I knocked. He didn't answer.

47. And how hard you'd fucking knock?

48. Listen, I like the guy.

49. Okay, I do, but I'm not banging on

50. any more doors or approaching him when he's like this.

51. I'll get flogged. Fuck that.

52. It's okay. I get it.

53. I'm worried about him, John.

54. I'm really worried about him. It's not going to end well.

55. I'll sort it.

56. Keep your fucking hands off her.

57. All right mate, relax.

58. I'm helping her pay her bills.

59. No touching. It's the fucking rules.

60. All right. Hey Dave, relax. Sit down.

61. Sit down. Have a drink.

62. It's on me.

63. Come on, sit here.

64. Okay, rum and coke. Drink of champions.

65. You don't get two punchy on the rum now do we?

66. So what do you reckon?

67. She a big bitch.

68. She got a cock?

69. I mean she, she's hot.

70. Look at her, I'd pot her.

71. You know her.

72. - Yeah. - Ahh.

73. Simone.

74. - Simon? - Simone.

75. Oh, oh, right, Simone.

76. Yeah.

77. I'm only pulling your leg.

78. Good on you.

79. Nah, fuck, good on you.

80. Like he's off his fucking head.

81. You understand what I'm saying?

82. Like he doesn't give a fuck about anybody,

83. about the rules, nothing.

84. He just walked in off the street,

85. fucking off his chops and took the gear and the cash.

86. Is that for me?

87. Yeah, sure, but I'm telling you,

88. if you don't get this fixed by next week,

89. you're not going to see half this.

90. I'm not fucking making this up, Ezra.

91. Something has to be done.

92. To who?

93. Go on, say his name.

94. He's going to fucking ruin us.

95. Us?

96. Okay. What do we do?

97. Fucking hell, Ezra!

98. If I have to sort this fucking shit myself,

99. why do I need you?

100. Osmon, we're going to put the kettle on, mate.

101. How are those chickens going down there?

102. Okay, thanks Joey.

103. Did you know that the black one with the white thing?

104. That's, that's the only cockerel.

105. Did you see him though?

106. He's got that funny, cute little head.

107. - He's serious? - Yeah.

108. Who the fuck do you think you are talking to?

109. You can't talk to him like that.

110. Make no mistake about it, mate.

111. He'll have someone cut your throat,

112. and he won't lose a wink of fucking sleep.

113. Now he's given you the real estate,

114. the keys, the authority to a business that makes more money

115. than anything we do here.

116. But it's your business Joey.

117. Remember that?

118. Yeah, you want to straighten this out.

119. You know what you got to do? Go talk to his brother.

120. I don't give a flying fuck

121. what you got or how you sell it.

122. I've only got one rule.

123. Whenever I want something you hand it over.

124. Whenever I need cash, give me as much as I want.

125. How much is that, Sam?

126. Is there like a, you know, a cap?

127. As much as I want, means as much as I want.

128. There's no cap.

129. You don't like it, you go fuck yourself.

130. How's Joey Romano going to react?

131. Joey Romano can go fuck himself.

132. Oi!

133. What the fuck do you think you're doing?

134. I've got the green light from Sam.

135. - Did you? - Yeah.

136. Oh, you want me to piss off?

137. - Yes please. - Yeah. Yeah.

138. What are we doing here?

139. Sam Ibrahim!

140. - Yeah? - He's lost his fucking mind.

141. He's letting drug dealers run all over the fucking street.

142. Fucking my business.

143. And what do you want us to do about it?

144. Get him off the fucking street.

145. Shut him down. Fuck him off. I don't know.

146. This is fucking unfair.

147. I'm not sure unfair is a word that you should be using

148. given the enterprise that you're in and with whom you assoc...

149. I'm doing exactly what I've been fucking told to do.

150. That prick does whatever the fuck he wants,

151. and no one's lifting a finger.

152. Right, well, we'll note your grievances in your file.

153. Hey, he is a total fucking liability.

154. He will fuck all of us, you included.

155. So to clarify, you would like us to step away

156. from our regular duties to help you with a personal matter?

157. Fucking hell.

158. How much?

159. Definitely a few notches above the usual, I'd say.

160. If you want a priority escalation.

161. Fuck!

162. Are you missing Perth?

163. Yeah. I miss Penny and the girls.

164. Shannon and Elwyn?

165. - Erin. - Ah.

166. You close.

167. - How about yourself? - What do you mean?

168. - Anyone you miss? - No.

169. Well, my mum, but whenever I'm there we fight like stink.

170. We're much better at distance.

171. They're not even trying to conceal what they're doing.

172. Ah, there's not a cop in sight.

173. Should we get to work?

174. Jack the price up by 75, all right?

175. I won't get no customers, bro.

176. - You'll get 'em. Just do it. - All right.

177. Hey, what the fuck? I got a right to be here.

178. - I paid... - Kings Cross Taskforce, mate.

179. You want to come take a step inside the vehicle?

180. No, I fucking wouldn't.

181. Yeah, it was more of an instruction than a request.

182. - Let's go. - Hey Luke! Leave him.

183. We have an urgent message. We have to return to base.

184. Urgent!

185. The legislation passed the upper house this evening,

186. and the letters patent have been delivered.

187. Which means we've got a green light, people.

188. Thunderbirds are Go!

189. We are permitted to carry firearms and, here it is...

190. We have been "conferred with the powers

191. "of a constable of the New South Wales Police Service".

192. And listen to this...

193. "Lying to or misleading the Commission is an offence

194. "carrying a custodial sentence of 18 months jail".

195. Anyone got any champagne?

196. When do the hearings start, Doug?

197. At the Commissioner's pleasure, Doyle.

198. So you better make sure

199. you got all your ducks in a row ASAP.

200. Oh my God.

201. Congratulations Liz.

202. Get in.

203. Fuck me!

204. Who the fuck are youse?

205. Fuck me, you busted my skull.

206. What happened to our deal?

207. Tien, how you doing?

208. I see you employing your own runners,

209. and from what I hear, they're kicking up to Sam.

210. No, no, no, no.

211. All right. I spoke to him, he went for it. He's gone rogue.

212. He's copping protection from dealers that were already there.

213. That's not what we discussed.

214. The runners were supposed to be my guys,

215. and you kick up to me.

216. You took our plan and cut me out.

217. No, no, no, I didn't. I didn't take nothing. All right.

218. I was going to come speak to ya...

219. What did you think would happen? Hmm?

220. I was always going to find out.

221. Did you think, what?

222. Because I'm a woman that there'll be no consequence.

223. Please, please. It's just Sam, he can't be reasoned with.

224. He listens to no one. He's a fucking loose cannon.

225. Put an eye out.

226. Please, please. Look, I know there's something coming.

227. All right, it's the Police Taskforce

228. or some shit like that.

229. All right, they're going after all the crims

230. and the corrupt jacks paying them off.

231. It's going to change everything.

232. I swear to fucking God, I spoke to these people.

233. A woman.

234. A woman.

235. All right.

236. She's got a hard on for the corrupt jacks.

237. We all got bigger problems than this.

238. No. Wait.

239. Hey, wait, wait, wait wait. Please, please.

240. Go on.

241. Fuck off.

242. Give us a lift back to the Cross?

243. I don't think we should be sticking our noses down there,

244. if it's all about to get turned upside down.

245. Why do we give a fuck huh?

246. We're not paying the cops.

247. Fuck this lady. She's not looking at us.

248. We'll draw attention to ourselves.

249. Listen, if this thing's going to happen

250. then the Cross is wide open. We don't need to sneak in.

251. We need to take it.

252. It's a mistake.

253. We need to wait until it settles.

254. See who's still standing.

255. And what? Give them a head start?

256. We go in hard and we put our flag up.

257. Fuck.

258. What the fuck do you want?

259. I just want to give you some free advice.

260. You need to pull your head in, mate.

261. Listen, you keep pulling that shit

262. like you did on the Lasers job.

263. You're going to get fucking locked up.

264. Sam. It's time to get off the gear and clean yourself up.

265. Hopefully your brother

266. can talk some fucking sense into you,

267. or maybe your mum.

268. Don't mention my family, cock.

269. Get over yourself for fuck sake.

270. You're a fucking disgrace to your family.

271. You got a family too, yeah?

272. That a threat?

273. See this?

274. That's my family.

275. And there are way more of us than there are of you,

276. and we get to carry these things around.

277. So you ever mention my family again,

278. and you're a fucking dead man.

279. I'm going to have a line. You want one?

280. Hey, mate, how's it going?

281. Hey, why the fuck you keep paging me for?

282. You okay?

283. Yeah, what do you want, what the fuck do you want?

284. Let's, um, let's talk outside, huh?

285. Come on.

286. - Where you been? - Where have I been?

287. Fucking nowhere, been here the whole time.

288. You understand what's going on at the moment, right?

289. With the Royal Commission?

290. They're here to bring down this whole place,

291. the jacks, the gear, all of it,

292. and the way you are acting

293. is making it really hard to go unnoticed, Sam.

294. Yes, sir.

295. This is heat we don't need.

296. That's what you wanted to talk to me about, huh?

297. You just want to pull my head in, so it doesn't affect you.

298. Are you fucking listening to me?

299. - Yeah. - But you don't think,

300. do you actually not see it or are you just too fucking high?

301. Look around, the new heads, the new cops,

302. we're being watched and you keep going the way you're going,

303. you're going to fuck up everything that we've built.

304. "We've?"

305. You're only here because of me.

306. If you find my brother, tell him I want to see him.

307. You like that?

308. So what are you going to do to me, Sam?

309. You can do anything.

310. Fuck me, Sam.

311. Sammy, it's good to see you.

312. Good to see you.

313. Girls, it's Sammy!

314. Sammy's here!

315. I'll get you a beer, matey.

316. Here you go, fella. Where you been?

317. Eh, where you been?

318. How the hell are you doing?

319. Here he is, public enemy number one.

320. Doyle, O'Neill.

321. You want to hop in for a second, Bryan?

322. I would've thought they'd given you an office.

323. We're not exactly conducting interviews in the back seat,

324. we're just booking them.

325. I gathered, but yeah, talk to me anytime you want.

326. Well, how about now?

327. I'm flat out today,

328. but so I can give you guys what you need,

329. what are you after?

330. That should be pretty obvious given the press we've got.

331. Corruption, yeah, I get that.

332. I don't know if I've got anything to add to that.

333. I mean, beyond the small understanding

334. we have with local crooks to elicit information.

335. And how are they conducted, the misunderstandings?

336. They give us information and we don't book them

337. for every small fuck up, we keep them in play.

338. It's the Cross, mate, it's how it's always been done.

339. Is that what you're after?

340. You're definitely getting warmer, Detective Crellan.

341. You call me to set up a formal interview.

342. I don't know how I can help you

343. beyond what I've told you, but sure.

344. You know, you should be aware,

345. that we've been watching and listening for a long time

346. and your name has been mentioned

347. in dispatches from time to time.

348. Good-o.

349. Ladies.

350. How do you get that cocky?

351. Oh, when you've had your hand in the cookie jar

352. your whole life, and no one's kicked you up the arse for it.

353. - Cloudy now. - Here he comes.

354. Look at that.

355. - Hey, Bryan. - Tones.

356. All right?

357. - We've got a problem. - Oh yeah?

358. Doyle, she's fucking all over me and just told me,

359. that she has been for a while.

360. She's really fucking tall, right?

361. Mate, she's a dog with a bone

362. and we need to do something about it.

363. I like tall people.

364. Fuck's sake, Ezra, the target is us coppers,

365. but also everyone that's assoc...

366. Hello, darling.

367. I'll call you back, I'll call you back, sweetheart.

368. All right, love you too, bye.

369. The target is us coppers,

370. but also everyone we're associated with,

371. and that means you, all of you.

372. So you need to fucking lean on your political connections

373. and make her go the fuck away.

374. We are not associates.

375. Okay.

376. She's not happy, is he?

377. I know.

378. He's going to get a ticket if he drives like that.

379. Well, for what it's worth, I think he's wrong.

380. I think this is all about the cops and who's getting a feed.

381. I think that's who they want.

382. I don't think it's got anything to fucking do with us.

383. Yeah, you might be right.

384. If I choose to, I can take this market from you by force.

385. By force, you say?

386. I have the numbers.

387. You didn't let me into your boys' club,

388. you kept me out of the Cross.

389. If you want a life after the investigation,

390. it will only happen if you cut ties

391. with the ones who can take you down,

392. the ones you've partnered with.

393. Look, why don't you just go back to Cabramatta?

394. I'm not from Cabramatta.

395. Really?

396. I'm from Vietnam.

397. Very different.

398. Mama.

399. Where is she?

400. Mama.

401. I'm doing this for us, all of us.

402. Quick, go to the bedroom.

403. No, no, no, lock the door.

404. Where's Mum?

405. Mama!

406. Come out.

407. Sam.

408. What the fuck you scaring her for?

409. Shat yourself, huh?

410. Was a bit loud for ya?

411. Cute vest.

412. Does it come in men's?

413. What are you doing?

414. You used to laugh at clowns like this,

415. now you're one of them?

416. Ooh, fucking hell!

417. Don't you know who this is?

418. You know who that is? Yeah.

419. All right, in you go boys.

420. Here we go. Here we go boys. Come on.

421. Let's have a good time, we're here to have a good time.

422. Cheers, brother.

423. Back again, couldn't help yourself, eh?

424. Yeah.

425. How long's she got?

426. About an hour.

427. Yeah, well, I'd give her an early mark, mate.

428. Not with this bunch.

429. I don't want to see you defending your girlfriend

430. or whatever, against this lot.

431. They're all fucking pigs.

432. Take this, come see me tomorrow.

433. I've got something for you.

434. Thank you, brother.

435. Ezra, you told me it was my problem, to fix it.

436. I can't, he's joined a fucking bikie gang.

437. There's millions of them, they're fucking everywhere,

438. and they're doing whatever the fuck they want,

439. - and he's the one... - No, no, no.

440. that's fucking green-lighting the whole thing.

441. No, wait, wait, Sam dressed head to toe in black leather.

442. That's quite a turn on.

443. I mean, no, no, no, that's it.

444. Ezra this is not fucking funny, you think this is funny?

445. - It's fucking chaos. - Hey, ssh!

446. And it's only going to get worse.

447. Who the fuck do you think you are?

448. Keep your fucking voice down, Joey.

449. - Quiet. - All right.

450. All right, we all know what has to happen.

451. If this wasn't him, if this was anybody else,

452. they'd already have been dealt with.

453. It's quite a call you're making though.

454. Ah, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not making a fucking...

455. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, mate, ssh!

456. - No, fuck that. - Ssh!

457. I'm not making a fucking call and I'm not doing...

458. That's why I came to see you, Ezra.

459. - Shazza. - Ezra.

460. Do you have carrot juice?

461. We do.

462. And can you leave the pulp in?

463. Thank you, Shazza.

464. Ezra, please.

465. You've got to do something

466. or we may as well both fucking retire.

467. I don't know, it's a lot of men loyal to him,

468. a lot of fucking nutters.

469. Yeah.

470. - Could be mayhem. - Thanks, Shaz.

471. It's not him I'm worried about.

472. It's his fucking brother.

473. I love you.

474. It's that hard to say, is it?

475. No.

476. No one else here though is there?

477. Hey, it's okay.

478. I love you too.

479. I'm going to get you out of here.

480. Out of where?

481. This life.

482. I don't want to share you,

483. I don't want you fucking anyone else.

484. This place is fucking horrible.

485. Right.

486. Can we come in?

487. Yeah, yeah. If you want.

488. All right?

489. Right.

490. Uh, what's all this about?

491. So he's a, uh...

492. A bikie now?

493. Yeah. Black Flag.

494. Fuck's sake.

495. You want a coffee? Cake? Something?

496. No, no, no, no, no, no.

497. No?

498. No, no, no.

499. - Sit down? - Yep.

500. This is...

501. gorgeous, Johnny.

502. Really?

503. He's hurting business, John.

504. Ours, yours, everyone's.

505. It's not good.

506. I'm going to ask you, honestly.

507. Why do you think he's behaving this way?

508. Sam is Sam.

509. Does what he wants.

510. But see,

511. I know you know the truth

512. and you are smart enough to know how this ends.

513. I don't know what you mean.

514. The coke.

515. He's off his fucking tree. He's out of control,

516. and it's dangerous. Right?

517. For everyone, including himself.

518. And if he doesn't stop.

519. And he's not going to stop by himself, is he?

520. If you stop wiping his arse, he's going to end up in jail.

521. That might be the best thing for him.

522. Give him a chance to clean himself up.

523. - You done? - Hey?

524. Both of you, are you finished?

525. Yeah.

526. My brother is my brother.

527. His battles are my battles.

528. That means, if you make a move against him,
