Aggie? You came.
Never let him go.
I won't.
I wrote to the navy yesterday and resigned my commission.
Really?
Yeah, we can get married, and have a honeymoon...
In a lighthouse, maybe.
- Hello? - Hi. Is this Aggie's mum?
You said she was there at the birth.
She had no idea that you were even pregnant.
What have you done?
When we get him back,
we'll get a DNA test, all right?
Is that really all you can think about?
You just wanna prove that he's yours?
Is there any chance that Ben isn't Jack's?
Her life isn't perfect, you know.
Her husband was having an affair.
Who with?
A Baby Ben story worth paying for?
Actually, it's about the husband.
Rhea Bowden.
Really, Jack?
Shit!
Aggie, he's burning up.
I need to monitor the baby
while we wait for an ambulance.
- No. - Darl...
Get your fucking hands off me!
Agatha!
Northbridge. Take me to Northbridge.
Aggie?
Are you at home?
- What? - Are the police there?
No! What are you gonna do?
Go to the window and check.
Aggie, we have to get Rory to hospital!
No, it's OK. I've got enough medicine for now.
See if the police are outside.
Is that them?
Hold on. It's probably just Mum.
She went out to look for you
in case you went to the hospital.
Hello. Is Agatha Fyfle here?
No.
Open up!
Aggie? Aggie?
*CREDITS*
Whatever Aggie's done,
I've got nothing to do with it.
Well, what do you think she was doing?
When she rang,
why did you lie to the doctor
about having the baby's blue book?
'Cause he was harassing us.
I was just sticking up for her.
No, no, no, you were trying
to stop him reporting the incident,
because you know what Agatha has done.
Isn't that right, Hayden?
The most important thing
is that my grandson gets medical...
Stop calling him your grandson.
Don't you get it, Mum?
They think Rory's Baby Ben.
Sir?
Baby hair?
Who do these belong to? Is one of them Ben's?
Righto, you kids, not in here, would you, please?
Mind the door, mate.
Hello.
We're looking for Meghan. We believe she's here?
I saw Agatha at the vigil.
I saw her there with her baby.
I touched his head.
No, I would... I would have known.
I would have... I would have sensed it.
It can't be her!
And she had her baby before I did,
I saw the photos.
We've been through the phone.
We have the photos she sent you,
but they were set up, using a neighbour's baby,
before Ben was born.
Faked, like the rest of her pregnancy.
She hired a home birthing pool in Katoomba.
Went to a lot of effort to contrive the whole scene.
So, you're saying that I touched my baby
and I didn't know?
Um, you said she ran away from a doctor's office?
Is Ben sick?
He was running a high temperature
and there is a small chance he has meningitis.
No, no, no, he won't survive a night out in this cold.
Where did she take him?
- Everyone's working on that? - Doing what?
- Well... Meg... Meg... - Look, I need to speak to her!
I need to speak to her right now!
- Call her now! - Meg...
Meg, she's thrown her phone away.
We don't know if she has anyone's numbers,
but she does know where you live,
and there's a chance she might try to make contact there.
- You should be at home. - OK!
Meg, we'll keep you informed of any developments.
Uh, Meghan?
Is there anything you want to talk about
before you see Jack?
No.
OK, I'll just say one thing and then I'll shut up.
Jack's secret is out.
Maybe it's your chance to set things straight.
Oh, I couldn't care less about setting things straight.
Yeah, yeah, it's Meg.
Give Meghan some room, please! Thank you!
Please give her some room, thank you!
Did you have any idea
your husband was having an affair?
Meghan, do you still love him?
I'm only here for Ben.
Uh...
If you notice anything suspicious,
please inform train or station staff immediately.
Why haven't you
plastered her face all over the city?
For now, we're keeping her name and photo
out of the media
because we don't want to push her
into doing something desperate.
What sort of desperate?
We now know that three years ago,
Agatha worked less than a block away
from where a baby went missing.
The pram was stolen from outside a shop.
And Agatha was also interviewed
over the disappearance
of a baby in Manly two years ago.
The mother put the child down to sleep,
and the baby was abducted through an open window.
Right, so, she... She's taken other babies.
If you knew this about her, what the fuck are you doing?
Agatha Fyfle was never considered
a person of interest.
She was interviewed along with dozens of other people
within the vicinity of the abductions.
Her alibis checked out.
She was never seen as a danger.
My beautiful boy.
Now, the cab she took from the medical centre
dropped her off in Northbridge.
CCTV confirm that she visited
bushland behind Tunks Park
and remained in the area for several hours,
and we have discovered concerning evidence.
What sort of evidence?
It appears to be some kind of burial ground.
Forensics confirm there are human remains,
babies.
Is it Ben?
The remains are old. They're definitely not Ben's.
We also found some locks of hair at her apartment.
DNA will let us know
if they are the missing babies.
Is she going to kill our son?
We can't know for sure yet
what happened to those other babies.
Tests are underway
to confirm the causes of death.
So, how many graves were there?
Three.
Oh!
Hi, darl. I found my phone.
Home soon.
I don't know where she is.
Put yourself in Agatha's shoes.
Where would you go?
The fact is we hardly know each other.
Your mum told us you're getting engaged.
So, are you marrying someone you hardly know?
Has she confided in you about her other babies?
She told me about her ex.
They had a baby that died or something, but...
What do you mean babies?
She gave a baby up for adoption when she was 16.
She claimed the father
was a church elder who abused her.
But maybe she was lying.
Why would she lie about something like that?
Why would she lie about having a baby
when she's just kidnapped one?
But maybe she didn't lie to you.
Maybe you two planned it.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
You know, I can't work out whether
you're dumber than a box of rocks or just pretending.
Your girlfriend fakes a pregnancy, steals a baby,
plays happy families, and you don't suspect a thing?
I'm not dumb.
You don't like the police much, though,
do you, Hayden?
We know you got priors, mate.
Right now, you're an accessory to an abduction.
If anything happens to that baby,
things will go very badly for you.
Hey. Hey.
Yeah.
That's better, Rory. No more fever.
We have everything that we need right here.
Don't you wish we could just stay here forever?
Are you awake?
Yeah.
What are you thinking about?
Same as you.
Well, the night before Ben was born,
I heard a train passing our place
through Agatha's phone,
and I still didn't get it.
- I could have stopped it. - Hey!
No.
No, neither of us are to blame.
It's her.
I just wanna hold him.
Mmm. Me too.
Why did you sleep with Rhea Bowden?
Because I'm monumentally stupid.
- No, that's not an answer. - I wish I had one!
Right, well, I'll give you a multiple choice.
A, midlife crisis.
B, boredom.
C, you stopped loving me...
No. No. Never that. Never C.
I hate you for putting us through this
when all we should be caring about is finding Ben.
I fucked up.
I'm so sorry.
How are we gonna get past this?
Everything I said at the vigil was true.
You are remarkable, and whatever happens,
whether we're together or apart,
I'll always love you.
- Are you OK? - Mmm-hmm.
I love you too...
But I don't forgive you just yet.
I know.
I'm not blameless either.
Hey.
It's OK.
Police are combing through bushland
behind this popular harbourside park.
We can confirm that the area
has been declared a crime scene.
The police are not disclosing any details
behind this early investigation,
however, it is believed...
Hello?
Hayden?
Agatha?
This is DCI Brendan MacAteer.
I wanna speak to Hayden.
Of course you can speak to him,
but first I have to ask you,
do you have the baby, and is he all right?
Put Hayden on.
I know you're scared. I can help you.
Put Hayden on right now
or I'll hang up and I won't call back.
You have three seconds.
- Agatha... - Three.
- I can help you. - Two.
- One. - OK, OK, here's Hayden.
Aggie?
I'm sorry. Rory isn't your baby.
Ask about fever, fever.
Does he still have a fever?
No.
I didn't mean to trick you.
I thought,
if you spent enough time with me and Rory,
you'd fall in love with us both.
You were right.
I'm so sorry!
Give yourself up, Aggie.
Just tell us where you are. I'll come pick you up.
I can't do that.
Rory isn't ours, Aggie.
You can't take care of him now.
Please don't say that.
There's no point in any of this going any further.
OK.
OK, but I'll only give him to Meghan.
Tell her to come alone. No-one else.
I don't think they'll go for that.
Remember the place you took us on our first outing?
That's the place.
What time?
11:00 a.m.
Tell them it has to be Meghan, no police.
If I see a cop, I'll shoot Rory.
Aggie, don't say those things.
Hayden, these last few days with you
have been the happiest of my life.
Remember, it has to be Meghan.
No-one else.
So, where's the meeting place, Hayden?
- Hey! Hey! - Whoa, whoa, whoa!
How could you let her take him?
- Why didn't you stop her? - I didn't know.
What kind of monster steals another woman's baby?
She needs help.
No, Ben needs help! He's sick! He's very sick!
Come on, that's enough.
Don't let him die! Please don't let him die!
Aggie's gonna know that's not me.
Not until she's close.
I wanna come with you.
I'm not going to put you in danger.
You're putting my baby in danger.
Agatha said she would only give Ben to me.
What if she gets angry when she finds out
that you're lying to her?
It's not negotiable.
We believe Agatha spent the night
at her place of work.
The owner has reported his gun missing.
You said she idolises me.
She also envies you, very deeply.
I have a right to be there.
If we run out of options,
it may be better to have her close by.
I'll let you both come to the on-site operations room,
but that is all.
Make sure I don't regret this.
Thank you.
Hello?
I'd like to speak to Meghan Shaughnessy.
It's Agatha on Meghan's phone.
She's on a burner.
Trace. Trace it now.
Who is this?
Tell her it's Agatha.
Please hold.
Keep her talking, but stay calm.
Here she is.
It's me.
Are they listening?
No.
Don't lie to me!
OK, look, I'm sorry! Yes, yes, they are listening.
Is Ben sick?
No.
No, he's better.
The police say you're gonna give him up.
Only to you.
The City Loop train is now arriving.
Alert the closest squad.
You're at a train station.
You could leave Ben at the ticket office,
get away yourself.
You're not listening to me.
I'm so... I'm sorry, Aggie, I... I'm trying...
Aggie, are you there?
If you want your baby back,
you're gonna have to come and get him.
I'll only give him to you.
Please stand behind the yellow line
and mind the gap.
Where did she go? Did she get off?
She's on the move. The City Loop train.
She's on her way to the meeting place,
to the art gallery.
We've got officers on standby at the station.
Phone?
Detective Soussa?
OK, people, let's go.
- I think I'm gonna be sick. - What's up?
I need to, um... I'm gonna vomit.
No, just hold on, mate. We're almost there.
Sorry, I really need to go. I really need to go.
Can you please...
You're kidding me. You're kidding.
Just... Pull over up here, mate.
Pull over up here.
You be quick, all right? You be quick.
Yep, yep.
Shit!
Go, go, go!
10-17, I have a suspect on foot
travelling east on the Anzac Bridge.
They're bringing Detective Bruni
out to the main gallery now.
Hey, is this really necessary? No-one needs to get hurt.
Under these circumstances, we have to take precautions.
Why aren't you backing me?
Listen to me.
The cops think that Agatha
might have pushed her ex-husband under a train,
maybe because he was suss.
So, I'm sorry if you think I'm letting you down,
but I just... I don't want you anywhere near her.
Shit!
Hayden Cole just jumped out of the car
on Anzac Bridge en route.
They lost him!
Where the fuck are they?
All teams in position. Standing by.
No sign of her yet.
This is taking too long.
Where are you, Agatha?
Let's check corridors.
- Hello? - Meghan?
Hang on.
Let's look at the camera on the east stairwell.
- Aggie? - Where are you?
- Waiting. - So am I.
Are you at the art gallery?
No. I'm at the Maritime Museum.
At the Tasman Light.
We thought you were suppos...
I'll come to you.
Please wait.
I'll be on my own.
- Hello, Aggie. - Hayden?
What are you doing here?
You sent Meghan to the wrong place.
I sent the police to the wrong place.
We don't have much time.
What are you doing?
I'm taking Rory so you can run.
Run where?
$5,000. It's all I've got.
I have a navy mate whose flat's empty until Christmas.
You can hide there.
I'll bring you food just until we think of another plan.
I took another woman's baby. I lied to you.
I don't care!
I don't care! Just take it!
Just take the money and run.
No, Hayden! Please just go!
They'll be here soon.
No-one knows where you are.
I told Meghan.
What?
I called her. She's on her way here.
Quick, give him to me, give him to me!
No, get your hands off me!
Just go!
No-one can help me.
But I love you. Please don't do this.
I'm not running!
So, just go before they catch you.
I don't want to bring you down with me. Please just go!
Can I say goodbye?
No sign of her in the toilets.
Call her.
- She swapped the phones. - Fuck!
She's on her way to meet Agatha.
Trace Meghan Shaughnessy's original number now.
I'm working on it.
Hello?
I am ordering you to stop what you're doing and turn around.
I am getting my son!
You are jeopardising this whole operation.
Where's the meeting place?
Agatha's only going to give Ben to me, nobody else.
She has a gun.
Think of the danger you're putting your baby in...
I will call you when it's over!
Meghan? Meg?
He's hungry.
I don't have any more bottles.
- Well, I could feed him. - No!
OK! OK! OK!
I don't expect you to forgive me,
but you should know I've loved him
as much as any mother could.
I do know that.
You know nothing!
You have everything, and you're so ungrateful!
Two children, a boy and a girl.
It was all I ever wanted.
I'm sorry you didn't have that, Aggie.
I had a baby girl.
But they wouldn't let me hold her.
They took her away from me.
You could try and find her, you know?
Have you tried?
- You might. - I can't.
She has to find me.
You know about the other babies?
I didn't kill them.
I tried to take care of them, but...they died.
Please give Ben to me.
His name's Rory!
Triangulating.
Maritime Museum.
You get the nearest unit there now.
Come on! Come on! Let's go!
You come too.
Aggie, you know... You know, they're looking for me.
They're gonna be here soon.
You could give me that.
It's not my fault he got sick. He wasn't feeding properly.
Well, some babies are very difficult...
Oh, what would you know?
- This was a mistake. - Aggie?
Aggie, please!
No, you said that you would give him back to me.
Please! We're friends, aren't we? We're friends!
And he's sick! You know, he's hungry.
Please, just let me feed him once, just once.
Quickly, then!
Hurry up.
I should be a mother.
I'm not a monster!
Of course you're not.
You get everything you want, don't you?
Drop your weapon!
This is the police!
She's got my baby!
Drop your weapon!
Wait... Wait! Wait!
Aggie, no!
Don't! Aggie, please don't!
Aggie...
Heavenly Father, in your love,
you have called us to know you,
led us to trust you,
and bound our lives to yours.
Surround this child with your love.
Protect him from evil.
Fill him with the Holy Spirit
and receive him into your family, the Church.
Hey, Lachie? Lachie.
Hey! Can I see something? Ahh!
Hey, can you open your mouth for me?
That's good!
What did you do that for?
Just a toothbrush, checking your teeth.
They're beautiful! Go!
So, if he's yours, I'll tell Jack the truth.
And if he's not, you leave us alone.
Do you know?
I've always known.
He's not mine?
What are you two talking about?
Babies.
Mmm. We're not having any more?
No! No, no, no. Not us.
Hello!
I didn't think you wanted kids?
I'm waiting for the right woman.
I've been robbed of everything I ever wanted.
Even my choice to die.
At 16, they stole my right to motherhood.
And it wasn't just a new-born I gave up.
It was the two- and three-year-old.
Every Christmas morning.
Every Mother's Day and birthday.
First words. First steps.
First teeth.
I have lost the love of all my children...
But you, Meghan, you have it all.
Even my precious Rory.
Before Agatha, I took things for granted,
and then losing Ben drove me to the darkest places
and showed me my true self.
In her shoes, I could have committed the same crimes,
because my children mean everything to me.
My marriage may not be perfect,
but I live a lie for their sake.
There is nothing I wouldn't do to have and hold them.
Nothing.
