0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains some violent scenes, some strong language

0:00:04 > 0:00:06and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10They were going to throw me off the cliff. Hammers' girlfriend was shouting..."Kill the fag."

0:00:10 > 0:00:14It was a sport back then, and the Pointers took to the sport with a vengeance, led by a Kyle Hampton.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16- TORI:- Greg Mills. Dr Peter Levy. Ned Davies.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18I knew a couple of the local coppers.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20They weren't interested in Ned. They reckoned he was asking for it.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23- Nick, the numbers are growing. - 26 years later.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26These men were killed just like Haris?

0:00:28 > 0:00:29It's a frenzied assault.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Yeah, it's like this one was personal.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34The DNA test results you requested? The blood on the lead pipe?

0:00:35 > 0:00:37You're related.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Shane was not gay.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44OSCAR: You bash innocent men and you throw them to their death.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Is that right?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Sally...- I don't want anything to do with the cops.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49I don't want anything to do with Hammers.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52There's someone luring people with that app and then killing them.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53You shouldn't be on it yourself.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Your Thrustr guy. He's online. - Wh...what?!

0:00:57 > 0:00:59- MAN:- Tori, it's not Hammers.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- TORI:- Oscar!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27NICK: Pulse is steady. Ambos should be here soon.

0:01:28 > 0:01:29Oscar!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31- WOMAN:- I was having a smoke...

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oscar!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35..and saw this fella waiting for someone,

0:01:35 > 0:01:36then this other fella arrives.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Oscar!

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Then I heard a thud and a groan and I called out, "Everything all right?"

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Can you move? Now! Move!

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Then I walk around and see him lying there.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oscar, can you hear me? Oscar.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53I saw a boy killed here. Exact same spot. Back in the struggle days.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58He died in my arms. You cops didn't give a damn!

0:01:58 > 0:01:59- MAN:- Step back, please.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Fuckin' bastards.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Could have been him.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, we need you to be certain.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23It was dark!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25What about weapons?

0:02:25 > 0:02:29He had something in his fist. Not a gun or a knife, but, um...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32No.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34It was HIM.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40He's a thug, sir.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42He was a thug when he was a kid

0:02:42 > 0:02:44and he's a thug now.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46You can't turn a blind eye forever.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49I beg your pardon?

0:02:51 > 0:02:55I've come across old paperwork that's left me with some questions.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Old charge sheets. Charges dropped on your authority.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02You called me here in the middle of the night to tell me that?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04HE CHUCKLES

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Who the bloody hell do you think you are?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Is he an informant? - That's classified.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Hammers is a businessman.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15He's got a local bar, and intel suggests that he's involved

0:03:15 > 0:03:17in the O'Donohues' drug network, but nothing's proven.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Look, boss, everybody knows

0:03:21 > 0:03:23you've got an impeccable record for drug busts.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Now, maybe Hammers helped you get those and you can't say.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, we all understand that.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33But Hammers is in deep shit,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36and sometimes you've just got to cut your informants loose.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I'll tell you tomorrow. - We need to go tonight.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44What do you hope to find?

0:03:44 > 0:03:48A club with Oscar's blood on it would be pretty useful, sir.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50There's no way I'm going to ring a magistrate

0:03:50 > 0:03:53in the middle of the bloody night on such flimsy hope.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Hammers, he's a manipulative piece of work,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00but the sick fuck we're after is something else altogether.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25DOOR LOCKS

0:04:28 > 0:04:30- WOMAN:- Rhys?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Coming.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Where were you last night?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49At work.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I worry about leaving you, Rhys.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13You should get yourself a nice girl.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Like you?

0:05:36 > 0:05:37No, where are you going?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Thanks.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47That the hospital?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yeah. Brain scan's normal.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- They'll discharge Oscar today. - Good.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53That's a warrant for Hammers.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55You control your emotions, and you, don't get cocky.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Either of you fuck me around,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'll drop-kick your arses right out of here.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Where was your husband last night?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18At the Green Room, then home with me.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Where is he now?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22No idea. We lead independent lives.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24What time did he get in last night?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Don't know. I was asleep.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Oh, are you a smoker, Cheryl?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Uh, I'm a fitness trainer. They're Kyle's.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36What's this?

0:06:38 > 0:06:39A sex toy?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Fancy dress night at the club.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yeah, I heard the fancy dress doesn't stay on long.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47These are illegal.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Nick?

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Do you or your husband have any fur garments in the house?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59I belong to an organisation that's against cruelty to animals.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01TORI LAUGHS Just going to continue the search.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Please go. When Kyle turns up, I'll tell him to call you.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Oh, you thought we just wanted to talk to Kyle? No, no, no, no, no.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Where were YOU Christmas Eve 1989?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13A man was killed. I know you were there. I have a witness.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18You can't rely on the words of a madwoman. She's insane!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20You have no idea who my witness is.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24The past is the past. We've all done things we regret.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26And each morning, we are born again a new person.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I'm not the person I was yesterday. - No, no, no.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31You don't get to get off the hook by mouthing some half-baked philosophy.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33You really want to pay for Hammers?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37You need to talk to me, Cheryl.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I'm racking my brain. Nothing's coming to me.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Watching a murder and doing nothing to prevent it

0:07:44 > 0:07:46leaves you equally culpable.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53A young man was bashed and you were heard screaming, "Kill the faggot."

0:07:53 > 0:07:55What kind of a person does that?

0:07:58 > 0:07:59Let me go.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Why does your husband have a gun beside the bed?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08In case he meets you on the beach.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- PEEL:- One firearm. That's all you found.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Can you at least tell me it was unlicensed?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Uh, we're not sure what the weapon used on Oscar Taylor was yet, boss.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Any blood?- Uh, not to the naked eye. It could have been wiped clean.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28But the Thrustr killer,

0:08:28 > 0:08:30he definitely met one or more victims at the Green Room.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hammers is connected, but we're just not sure how yet.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well, pull your fingers out, will you?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36The public want the head of the prick who topped Toohey.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- They don't want false trails. - Yes, boss.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hey, Tori.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Have a look at those.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I appropriated them - sublegally. They weren't on the warrant.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Hmm. O'Donohue brothers.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54And the Pointers. Hmm.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Do we know who this is?

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Dunno.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Hey. Any wolves at Hammers'?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Oh, I'm tempted to say yes, but no. Why?

0:09:04 > 0:09:08The lab just came back with the results on that fur.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11All right.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13"Arctic wolf."

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Found in Canada.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Beautiful animal. Predator.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Brenda, you're a legend!- I know.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25"The arctic wolf hunts alone or in packs.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26"It may look like a loner,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29"but the wolf may be out seeking prey for the pack

0:09:29 > 0:09:31"or looking to make its own pack.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33"Only the alpha male can mate."

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- SALLY:- Please don't ask me about the past.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Sally. You can't stay quiet forever.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55If you covered up a crime, you're part of it.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57No matter how long ago it was.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01How do you want to appear in court,

0:10:01 > 0:10:04as a witness or as an accessory to murder?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Cos that one can carry a life sentence.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14Just give me something so I can say you were cooperative, all right?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Can you tell me who these people are?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22That's, um...Cheryl, me, Hammers,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Brett, Terry,

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Adamski,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27uh, Tomcat...

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Uh, that's Thomas Katz?- Yeah.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32And who's this young boy here?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Um...

0:10:35 > 0:10:38It...it wasn't like there was a regular gang, you know?

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Hammers would pick up random kids,

0:10:39 > 0:10:41feed them fish and chips, make them feel special.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45The kid was such a weed. What was his name? Um...

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Pee-Sticks.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Pee-Sticks.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Do you remember his proper name?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Mmm...

0:10:54 > 0:10:57No, he was just a skinny kid who did Hammers' errands. I don't...

0:10:57 > 0:11:00I think he was a... relative of Hammers'.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Do you think he would have witnessed any of the murders?

0:11:09 > 0:11:14Sally. These secrets, they must be driving you crazy.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Imagine what it's doing to the families of the victims.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Imagine if it was your son.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- BOY:- Mum?

0:11:31 > 0:11:32What's going on?

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Nothing.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Um...the detective's just asking me about a missing person.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28SHE COUGHS, GASPS

0:12:36 > 0:12:38SCUFFLING

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- BOY SCREAMS:- Mum!

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Will!

0:12:56 > 0:12:57TYRES SQUEAL

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Jason! Jason!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02PHONE RINGS

0:13:02 > 0:13:06They've come to the house. They've taken Jason!

0:13:06 > 0:13:07They've taken my son!

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Whatever you think of me, my son's innocent.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- You've got to get him back. - OK, Sally, I need you to focus.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Focus on what you heard and what you saw.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Um...

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Brett O'Donohue called, said I made a mistake talking to the cops.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26He said Hammers warned him the cops were digging around.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29That, um...that the Pointers were going to be set up

0:13:29 > 0:13:31for the murder of Toohey and some Arab.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Payback.- Payback? Payback for what?

0:13:33 > 0:13:35For...for an act in the past?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I said it didn't matter what I told you - you already knew the truth.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40He called me a fuckin' bitch and hung up.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43He's a good boy.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45I don't want them getting to him.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Sally, they are afraid. They're afraid you can put them in prison.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51And that is one way we can deal with them, all right?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Get my son back. Please.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Can you do that?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58SHE SIGHS

0:14:04 > 0:14:06MAN SNORTS

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Going to go have a piss.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Get us a coffee!

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Oh, fuck off.- Two sugars!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Get it yourself.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Brett! Cops!

0:14:21 > 0:14:23- TORI:- Hands on your head!

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Hands on your head!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Brett! - NICK: Drop the weapon, Terry!

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Drop the gun now, Terry.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- PEEL:- Uh, search the rest of the place.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oh, fuck...

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Where's the kid?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Where is Jason?!

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Dunno what you're talking about. - Where is he?!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- TERRY:- We're not saying nothing till we get our lawyer.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00All right, Brett? Nothing!

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- PEEL:- There's enough drugs here

0:15:06 > 0:15:08to keep them out of Bondi till they're pensioners.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Here. Get a shot of them against the police car.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Get the lights?- Yep.

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Righto.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Terry's full of himself,

0:15:20 > 0:15:23so I'll take him back to the office and just let him stew a bit.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26You and Lustigman, you try and open up Brett a bit, hey?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31I think our guest, well, he deserves the scenic route.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Let him enjoy the outside view.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Cos it's going to be his last.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35This never happened. OK?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Let's go get the kid.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Sally, we've got Hammers

0:16:55 > 0:16:57for abduction, assault, deprivation of liberty,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59and when we get the DNA results, murder.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02He's going away for a very long time.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05He won't hurt you or Jason ever again.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Now will you talk?

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Did you kill Haris Rexhaj?

0:17:17 > 0:17:18No.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Did you kill Christopher Toohey?

0:17:22 > 0:17:25No way. Toohey was a mate.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Did you kill Greg Mills?

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I did my time for that.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, your lawyer, she's on her way, um...

0:17:42 > 0:17:44but in the meantime, it would be useful

0:17:44 > 0:17:47if we could go over the Greg Mills murder in 1990.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50HE SIGHS

0:17:50 > 0:17:54- SALLY:- We were just kids out for a good time.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56This night was different.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58There was this, um...

0:17:59 > 0:18:03..electricity in the air, like there was going to be a storm.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06The boys were preparing...

0:18:06 > 0:18:08like, for a hunt.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11- BRETT:- Saturday night. You know, what are you going to do?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14We go down the park and bash fags.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16We get money out of it, well, we have a piss-up or something.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'm not proud of it, but we weren't the only ones doing it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21It was up and down the coast.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Fag-bashing.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27I'm just telling you like it is.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30They'd done it before.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32You could tell.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35It was all mapped out.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Every move.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Hey, faggot!

0:18:41 > 0:18:42THEY LAUGH

0:18:43 > 0:18:45He jumped up, lost his glasses stumbling.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49Hammer...Adamski started hitting him.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Faggot!

0:18:51 > 0:18:53CHERYL: Kill the faggot! Kill the faggot!

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Greg Mills didn't wear glasses.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07That was a man called Ned Davies.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Turn the tape off.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I'm not saying nothing till my lawyer gets here.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28He was bleeding pretty bad.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Hammers was freaking out.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33"We've got to chuck him over."

0:19:35 > 0:19:36I called out.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39"Don't. Please don't."

0:19:41 > 0:19:43And, um...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47..they swung him over the cliff...

0:19:48 > 0:19:49..and let go...

0:19:51 > 0:19:53..and there was a thud.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Sally, you're doing really well.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07SALLY EXHALES

0:20:07 > 0:20:09The waves were crashing over the rocks.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Uh, I thought...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16..I hoped...

0:20:16 > 0:20:18maybe it was a dream.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22A bad dream.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29BOYS WHOOP AND LAUGH

0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Sally?- Mmm?

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Do you recognise...

0:20:40 > 0:20:42any of these men?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47SALLY SIGHS

0:20:50 > 0:20:51It was one of them.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53"Him", Sally.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55The victim was a person.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- WHISPERS:- I'm sorry.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14It was him.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21- SOBS:- He wasn't the first.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32I recognise...him.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37His beautiful black hair.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41SALLY SOBS

0:21:45 > 0:21:46- WHISPERS:- Sorry.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- SCOFFS:- Prisoner! Listen.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Jason is the son of an old mate of mine. I was taking him fishing.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59- TORI:- Did you have his mother's permission?

0:21:59 > 0:22:02The kid's old enough to go fishing without a note from his mummy.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05He was dragged out of bed by the O'Donohues at 2am.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Ah, you see, that's when the fish are biting.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Do you recognise these leather bindings?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13No, I've never seen that before.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17What about this?

0:22:17 > 0:22:18Fuck. What is that?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Not mine.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Huh. Maybe it belongs to your cousin, Pee-Sticks.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26"Pee-Sticks"!

0:22:26 > 0:22:28I haven't got a cousin.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Do you recognise this boy?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34No.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36He could have been hanging round like a bad smell back in the day,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38but no...

0:22:38 > 0:22:42When you say "hanging around", he was part of your gang?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45- The gang that hunted gay men? - "Hunted"?

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo! "Hunted"?

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Jesus Christ. Sally tell you that, did she? Hmm? Head case?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56It'll be her word against mine, and she's a nobody.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58So was that fuck-knuckle, who I do not know,

0:22:58 > 0:22:59and where did you get that?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01DNA's a match.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Do you recognise these men?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19No.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21This is Dr Peter Levy.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24October 1989, his body was found

0:23:24 > 0:23:26at the base of the cliffs at Cardinal Park.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Did you push him off the ledge?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30No.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33This is Ned Davies.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37December 1989, he went for a walk and he didn't return,

0:23:37 > 0:23:40and I've been hearing stories that he met with his death at your hands.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42HE SCOFFS

0:23:42 > 0:23:43No!

0:23:43 > 0:23:46HE CHUCKLES

0:23:46 > 0:23:50Another young man was killed December 1989.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52It was Christmas Eve.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55The same night that Detectives Chalmers and Peel

0:23:55 > 0:23:57pulled an improvised weapon off you.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01That weapon...had his blood on it.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03And that weapon...

0:24:03 > 0:24:05has your DNA on it.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Your arrogance might almost be impressive

0:24:14 > 0:24:16if it didn't make me sick.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18And you thought you'd get away with

0:24:18 > 0:24:20all those years of violence and murder

0:24:20 > 0:24:22and it wouldn't matter.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24That no-one would come for you.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Your brother...

0:24:34 > 0:24:36..got what was coming to him.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Tori, outside! Now!

0:24:50 > 0:24:53DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

0:24:54 > 0:24:57You picked up Hammers. You had evidence. You did nothing!

0:24:57 > 0:24:59We HAD nothing!

0:25:00 > 0:25:02There was no body. There was no complaint.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Jesus, come on. It was Christmas Eve.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06I thought the boys got in a bit of a scrap.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08"Bit of a scrap"?

0:25:08 > 0:25:10My father trusted you!

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Did you even read Shane's autopsy report?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21You did!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24You thought it was a suicide!

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Oh, fuck!

0:25:26 > 0:25:27You can't go back in there.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32I can't have you dealing with him or the O'Donohues

0:25:32 > 0:25:34or Oscar Taylor's assault.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37You go back in there, your participation jeopardises

0:25:37 > 0:25:40any charges we want to make against Hammers.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42Murder.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Davies, Levy and Shane.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56HE SIGHS

0:26:22 > 0:26:24We got him, Dad.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27We got the guy that killed Shane.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33He didn't drown.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37He was murdered because he was gay.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47- TORI:- Are you OK?

0:27:47 > 0:27:48One hell of a headache.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52So, what you were doing?

0:27:52 > 0:27:55You were out there hunting the Thrustr killer all by yourself, huh?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01We got Hammers.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03That's a result for Shane, it's a result for the others.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05That's just it.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07We're still dying, Tori.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09And that piece of shit is responsible.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13You need to promise me you're not going to do anything stupid.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16You have to leave this to us.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31NICK: I thought you were off the case.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33I can't stop thinking about Pee-Sticks.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Sally said he was related to Hammers. Hammers denies it.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40I'm wondering if somehow he could be a relative of the O'Donohues.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53The only O'Donohues coming up are, um, Terry and Brett.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56And their father, Bert.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00He died inside Long Bay after the stabbing of a brothel owner.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03What about on the mother's side?

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Uh, mother's maiden name was Birnie.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09She was sentenced for handling stolen goods.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11I have seen that name before.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13In here.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Chalmers' case files. Are you game?

0:29:43 > 0:29:45HE SIGHS

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Tori.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Rhys Callahan.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05Committed murder, 16, Newcastle.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Mother - Belinda Birnie, Deborah's sister.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11The victim was a social worker in Newcastle

0:30:11 > 0:30:13who was known for working with troubled youths.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17He was discovered by a neighbour in a blood-splattered room.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20His head had been caved in before being stabbed to death.

0:30:20 > 0:30:21SHE SIGHS

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Graduated from the School of Hammers.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Hello. He was released on parole three months ago.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33PRINTER WHIRS

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Guess he gave away the surfer look.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48We have Pee-Sticks.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56LIFEGUARDS CHAT AND CHUCKLE

0:31:16 > 0:31:19- WOMAN:- Rhys was assigned to me as a juvenile.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24His mother was a prostitute and his father abusive.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27He punished Rhys for being a "sissy boy".

0:31:27 > 0:31:32And in fact was charged for sexual misconduct with a minor,

0:31:32 > 0:31:33but the case never made it to court,

0:31:33 > 0:31:36and Rhys insists his father never touched him.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Did you believe him?

0:31:39 > 0:31:42He had all the hallmarks of a severely abused boy.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50Rhys can be very charming. Charismatic, plausible.

0:31:51 > 0:31:56He lives calmly in a controlled environment, like the prison,

0:31:56 > 0:32:00but he's manipulative, psychopathic.

0:32:01 > 0:32:07He was 16 when he committed the murder. Did he offer up any excuse?

0:32:07 > 0:32:10The man hit on him and he panicked.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19This signature -

0:32:19 > 0:32:23it doesn't fit with impulsive lashing out.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25He'd taken his time.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27I think he'd fantasised about it.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33When Rhys was 11 years old, he hung around with a youth named Hammers,

0:32:33 > 0:32:38who held sway over a group of boys who hunted and bashed gay men.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40He'd certainly witnessed murder.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Are we talking about a Kyle Hampton?

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Rhys hated him.

0:32:58 > 0:33:04In fact, a day before the murder, he had gone to visit Kyle Hampton

0:33:04 > 0:33:06and been told to piss off.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09So he went out to prove himself worthy.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11That's why he meets his victims at the Green Room.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31Rhys's dad fell off a cliff just five days after Rhys was released.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33"Death by misadventure."

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Yeah, sounds more like revenge.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Any address on the parole card?

0:33:38 > 0:33:42Uh, his dad's address was in Gateshead.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44What about the mother?

0:33:49 > 0:33:53There's a Birnie in Ramsgate Ave, Bondi.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06KNOCK AT DOOR

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Hello? Is anyone home?

0:34:13 > 0:34:15- SLEEPILY:- Rhys?

0:34:23 > 0:34:26No need to be afraid.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Just want to speak to your son, Rhys.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Has Rhys seemed...distressed, disturbed at the moment?

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Rhys would never have done what he did

0:34:49 > 0:34:52- if the old man hadn't pushed him! - SHE BREATHES LABORIOUSLY

0:34:52 > 0:34:55And what has Rhys done? Where is he? Where can we find him?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Where is he?

0:34:57 > 0:34:59You want Rhys, you find him yourself.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Never met the guy.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01See, Rhys, the problem is, when you, uh...

0:36:01 > 0:36:03when you tell a small lie, it becomes a big lie,

0:36:03 > 0:36:06and then all of a sudden, you're in a big pile of shit.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Now, see, I thought you and Toohey were both members

0:36:10 > 0:36:13of the Bondi Pointers gang back in '89.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16You remember that far back?

0:36:17 > 0:36:22Can you identify...this person and...that one?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24Well, that was me.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27We just went to Bondi on holidays.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29In '89, I was 11.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32That one was Toohey.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34You can see he's quite a bit older than me.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Well, Toohey's been murdered.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40And since you knew Toohey...

0:36:42 > 0:36:43..I thought you might know why.

0:36:46 > 0:36:51Well, Toohey wasn't... who he pretended to be, so...

0:36:51 > 0:36:53And what was that?

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Strong. Someone you can look up to. A real man.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Did you kill Christopher Toohey?

0:37:02 > 0:37:04No.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Did you kill Haris Rexhaj?

0:37:06 > 0:37:07No.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Adrian Cohen?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Who? No.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15But you did kill a man in Newcastle, right?

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Well, he was a...piece of filth who got what was coming.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22How about your father? How did he die?

0:37:23 > 0:37:25He fell off a cliff.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Did HE have it coming?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Some might say so.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Well, we've been talking to your cousins, um,

0:37:34 > 0:37:36and I guess you know that Brett was convicted

0:37:36 > 0:37:39of murdering a gay man in Cardinal Park back in 1990.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Well, the names of the men that I've asked you about, they were gay men.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47And they were murdered.

0:37:47 > 0:37:48What's this got to do with me?

0:37:49 > 0:37:54Well, there were other murders back in '89, 1990,

0:37:54 > 0:37:57and we have reason to believe that you were a witness to them.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Now, look, Rhys, we know you were a kid.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04You were easily led.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09See, the problem is, you've got this conviction in Newcastle,

0:38:09 > 0:38:13so it's very easy to say, "It's all his fault,"

0:38:13 > 0:38:14you know, point the finger at you.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19It was such a long time ago.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Nobody cared back then.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Why now?

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Have you got Thrustr on your phone, Rhys?
