Stingers · Season 1
[Peter had just gotten back from an undercover operation and is about to met Kaye. Oscar is talking to Kaye when Mac and Pete walk up together.]
We've been talking about you
Well there you go
The male ego never ceases to amaze me
What’s wrong with the male ego
I'm not allowed to say - secret woman’s business, it's how we stay on top
Been taking those Germaine Greer tablets again
*confused* Pardon
You're showing your age you know
[Mac gives him a dirty look and keeps walking]
[Pete was punched at the start of the episode, in a sting, by a cop to make it look more real. Pete is now in a pub with Ron Gallagher, the target, and the police officer makes an appearence]
Hey wanker, how’s the eye
Who’s that friggin smartass
Don't worry I won't tell a soul
Don't worry he's a cop
[Pete gets up and walks towards him. He punches the cop in the face then grabs his shirt and talks into his ear]
I'm working Dickhead
[Pete punches him again this time in the stomach, the cop is lying on the floor gasping for breath]
Authentic enough for you
I'm not wearing a wire
Then how can we back you up
From a distance
I don't like it
I'm playing it safe
That’s a matter of opinion
You're aiding and abetting a robbery I'm not even sure if it's the right way to go
Were not arresting anyone... I'm um…. bonding. Isn't that what you wanted
[Mac smiles]
then take em to a footy match
Come on we're on a roll. I'm in on a robbery, thumped a cop
I want you to wear a wire
[Garry is Ron Gallagher’s brother]
Get your gear off
Ron, what are you doing
What if he's a pig
He's a thieving bastard
He's a smart thieving bastard, get your gear off
[Pete takes all his clothes off. Standing in front of Ron and Garry naked]
See anything you like
Nah you’re not my type
[Newstead’s doing his morning swim]
Fit bastard!
Every morning, rain, hail or shine...
Oi Church! Step out of the fast lane you nearly ran be over back there!
I need the attention. You’ve been ignoring me lately.
I think you can live without my acknowledgement.
Yeah, but life wouldn’t be so sweet.
You know I think that outfit is beginning to affect your personality.
Yeah, how’s that?
Well you’re becoming a legend in your own spiffy suit.
Before you know it you’ll be bulldozing national trust buildings.
Yeah, maybe a really old one.
Oh, you’re a worry.
And you reckon I’m good at this job.
Come on, Pete.
Never ends, does it.
Okay, let's go through it one more time.
I want my lawyer.
Get out of here.
I'll do a lie detector test.
You'll kiss my arse, get out! You're suspended from further duties.
You can't sack me. I resign.
Just go.
[Mac and Pete are lying in bed, in one of their hundreds of motels]
What are we doing Peter?
Having a rest. We just earned it.
I’m not talking about that!
Well what are you talking about?
The future.
What about the future?
We don't have one.
No future, no past. Isn't that what it’s supposed to be?
Mmm yeah.
Peter, where are you off to?
Somewhere dark and quiet with cold beer, where I can lick my wounds and dream about boats...
Boats?
You treat 'em right and they whisper sweet nothings in your ear and rock you gently to sleep...
I hate to think you two are breaking the cardinal rule and socializing together when you’re off duty.
Come on Bernie, you know we’ve hardly got a social word for one another.
Yeah well who ever said that business and pleasure don't mix was right on the money.
Absolutely.
No question.
Night Bernie.
See you.
[Oscar is in the car with a girl who has been charged with the possession of illegal drugs. If this girl helps Stone by introducing him to her supplier, she gets a good word put in for her when it comes to her sentencing.]
So tell me again, this Jeremy, your supplier?
Well he’s English. He likes English backpackers, that’s why he hangs round ‘ere. They don’t care what they do for a buck and they don’t stay long enough for the drug squad to pay attention.
What else?
He’s Gay! Might help you if you’re that way inclined yourself.
Give me a break.
[Church and Oscar are driving back from a drug dealer’s house, where they have just set up a buy. There are two young, English backpackers, Hannah and Claire, living with him.]
So you’re screwing her?
Wha…?
Peaches and cream, the English rose...
Hannah?
(copying him) Hannah, yes Hannah!
She’s got nothing to do with Jeremy.
She shares his house!
But…It’s a living arrangement, they do the cleaning, cook him meals.
Come on.
Hey she’s how I made the contact; she’s how I got his trust.
So leave it at that.
Don’t I get a personal life?
Not on the boss’s time. She thinks you live in Queensland.
She thinks you sell boats, she’s half thinking of joining you in Byron Bay! Are you comfortable with that?
No not entirely. Come on Church you know how it is. You develop a cover you play the part, you almost think its true.
Except she’s the one you’re meant to fool! Finish it before you stuff the operation.
[Bernie, Oscar and Mac in Bernie's office, discussing Oscar’s bust.]
But what if he knows you’re a cop?
I’ll take the risk.
We’ve got nothing to loose? (Looks at Bernie)
Except Oscar! All right, okay Mac. He's to have back up at all time, and wear a wire.
You’re sounding more and more like me.
Don't push me.
No, no, I approve, I approve.
Chalk and cheese ay!
(Turns to face him) Don’t take me so literally Peter I was just building a cover story!
For the record, I don’t really prefer life by myself...
[Mac nods, almost laughing.]
Well...like I said, who knows what’ll happen!
