The Killings at Parrish Station

Are we entirely convinced it was Reynolds?

She's with the shrink now.

Until we get that psych report back,

Reynolds is off-limits.

Can we build my Christmas present?

Yes, but not right now. I'm on my way out.

'The Bone Gospel'.

- Do you have a copy? - It doesn't exist.

Callum Parrish is here.

Thank you for coming in today, Dr Faine.

We wanted to get a better understanding

of the personnel out there.

How many people know that story to be complete bullshit?

He just needs to take the money.

Or you'll ruin my career.

I'll ruin your entire life.

We've got an active serial killer.

This is someone who was very close to the '87 investigation.

Let me out!

Oh, fuck. No, no, no, no, no. Hey, listen!

Oh!

Fuck! Oh, fuck.

Delta 2-6, attending a domestic at 90 Swinson Road, Moorland.

Male party armed and threatening occupants.

Shots fired. I repeat, shots fired.

Request urgent backup and tac team. Over.

Copy that. Remain in position. Do not engage...

Brendan!

Over.

It's just you and me.

Be good to talk this out, mate.

What do you reckon?

She's not taking my fucking kids.

I understand that, Brendan.

Uh, I... I've been there myself.

I get it.

I see you're a brickie.

Got your own business. You're a provider.

Long days, coming home, bone-tired,

but we do it, don't we?

For them.

And then what happens?

The courts tell us we don't count.

We're not the primary caregiver.

But we do care. Don't we, Brendan?

And because we care, we've got to talk this out, mate, OK?

You and me, we've got the same job here.

To keep everyone safe.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I've put my gun away.

I'm trusting you're gonna to do the same.

Yeah? Can we make that deal?

I'm gonna come in now.

Nice and slow.

Brendan?

Mate?

Brendan, I've gotta know where you are.

I've gotta know everyone's safe.

Come on, mate, talk to me.

Tell me about those kids of yours.

Better yet, I'd like to meet 'em.

Why don't we all just sit down together

and we'll figure this out.

Yeah?

Brendan, I've gotta know that everyone is OK, yeah?

Then we can talk.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

What have you done?

What the fuck have you done?!

Team's on the way.

I'm done, aren't I?

I told you not to shoot. I said that.

I thought he was gonna kill you.

Farah...

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I messed up.

Listen.

We'll make sure you're OK after this, yeah?

A proper debrief.

Hey, Mick.

Mick, you there?

Yeah, Charlie, go ahead.

I'll need you tonight, mate.

Got a, uh, bit of a situation here.

Yeah, Charlie, I'm not feeling so hot.

Millie Farah's gone and shot someone in the head,

so, mate, I need you to give her a pep talk.

Copy.

Shit!

I... I don't know what I could have done different.

I made a call. Isn't that what we're meant to do?

It is. It is.

Listen, Farah, if I was short with you before, I'm...

..I'm sorry, I...

Farah! Here's Mick.

Mick, do you wanna...

Huh?

- Tell her the... - Oh.

Yeah, it's, uh...

..pretty fucked.

Alright, let's drink.

This is what she was quoting.

Reynolds. This 19th-century novel.

'Llangnall Tower'. And you know what it's about, Charlie?

It's about a group of religious fanatics that build a tower.

A tower!

How's Frankie?

What? She's fine. I'm not talking about Frankie.

Yeah, I'm talking about Frankie.

How's your daughter?

I mean, Carrick's a prick, but, you know,

what he said about you taking some time, that might not be...

She's fine.

- It all happened so fast. - Uh-huh.

Like that.

- You know? - Mm.

Like that.

I... I thought I could talk to you about it

because of, you know...

..'cause of Moorland.

Ah.

So... what did you do?

How did you deal with it?

'Cause I just keep playing it like a movie

over and over in my head.

I mean, what do I do with that?

The thing about that movie is that you made it.

So you can do whatever you want with it.

Make it as good as you can.

- It wasn't good, Mick. - So change it. It's your movie.

I just can't pretend that...

Find a way to tell yourself a story that you can live with.

And then... just keep telling it.

See you tomorrow.

Back on the horse, yeah?

Yeah.

Hey.

Possum.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Do you want to make the model?

Yeah?

Come on.

Come on, sleepyhead.

Come on.

Do you think planets can talk to each other?

That's a good question.

What do you think?

I think they tell lots of jokes

so they don't get sad in the dark.

Have you got any jokes for me?

Why did the cow want to be an astronaut?

Why?

So it could visit the moooon.

Don't wake Poppy.

Frankie, do you think about your dad very much?

You know, it's OK if you miss him.

I miss him.

Frank?

It might be time for bed, eh?

Poppy's right. It's bedtime.

I think you'll find Poppy's always right.

Easy.

Come here.

Goodnight, possum.

She needs sleep.

Hey...

..so do you.

Oh, that was messed up.

No wonder you threw up in the cop shop the next day.

Don't smoke in the house.

"Don't smoke in the car, don't smoke in the house."

You ready to go? We might have something.

Young guy, missing 32 hours.

What's the connection?

And this podcast with Damien Tovey's called...'Crime Sluts'?

Mm-hmm.

Why?

Well, it's sort of semi-ironic.

I'm sorry, is this show just about the Parrish case?

They actually do a range of true crime.

Australian, international, and some historical ones.

I have a long commute.

Look, I told her everything.

Is there someone out there looking for him?

Because this is not like Damien.

You were doing a series about the Parrish Station killings

at the time he went missing, is that right?

Yeah, we were.

Holy shit.

You're Millie Farah.

And you...

Are you Georgia Cooke?

Oh, you don't understand.

I've been trying for months

to get someone who's actually involved on tape.

Everyone else said no.

Who'd you approach?

Well, you, actually.

Your doctor shut that down, which I totally respect.

- Can I record? - No.
