I mean, how do you track someone that leaves no clues behind?

-He caught our shooter unaware.

Maybe this is our shooter's first mistake.

-Pretty soon, the city's gonna be running out of middle-aged males.

-Ben shouldn't be up here.

His murder's about me.

It's got nothing to do with this.

Ben was having an affair.

-Who was it with?

-His first wife, Zoe's mother.

-We used to hook up whenever he was overseas.

-I'm broken, just like you.

-Don't you think I'm gonna be in more danger when I'm actually with you?

-I still want you to stay with me.

-And I want to spend more time with my mother.

-I can't do this anymore.

-Same caliber.

Same weapon as the previous shootings.

-And still no statement.

-Well, this is his statement, okay?

He wants us to know how powerful he is.

There is every possibility that this was an escalation and that the next shooting is gonna involve even more casualties.

-Uh, I don't think so.

-You don't?

-No, I don't.

Look, I might have been wrong about a lot of things lately, but I don't think you're right.

We're talking six victims, when there's only ever been one.

Who was shot first?

-The daughter.

-And the father?

-Last.

Forensics believe that some of the rounds wounded multiple people.

-Okay.

So, we've got a crowded party boat, multiple people shot and the last victim, a middle-aged white male, the usual target.

I think these others were collateral damage.

-Is the profile changing?

I mean, what are we looking at here?

-Well, I think we can discount terrorism.

Terrorism is about the narrative.

This person isn't bothering to tell us.

He's relying on us to work it out.

-Oh, well, go out on a limb and tell us about the narrative.

-Is he an eco-warrior, taking revenge for a dying planet?

An abused woman fighting back after a lifetime of violence?

I don't know, a neo-Fascist, inciting fear and hatred?

-Sorry, a neo-Fascist?

How does that work?

-"The world's a dangerous place.

You need me to protect you."

It's the lie every would-be dictator tells his people.

-Is that ringing a bell, Senior Detective?

-Wake up, Australia.

We're under attack.

It's a battle for our culture.

-And who is our new Fuhrer?

-Not nearly as charismatic.

-That is Jack McCarthy, the self-appointed leader of the Brotherhood.

This picked up a lot of attention in the press lately.

-We've had our eye on him for a while.

Recent chatter is he's assembling a cache of weapons.

-Your brothers!

Your husbands!

-To what purpose?

We don't know yet.

-...the media lied to you!

The elite, the 1%, they're too politically correct to do... and the politicians are too scared... -Ah, this, it's hard to reconcile.

This guy works inside a group.

Our shooter's a loner.

-Well, it means we'd have to run anything upstairs.
