Episode Details

Melbournes top detectives, fresh off solving the Dezi Freeman case, are now tackling a shadowy crime syndicate behind a series of violent attacks on the citys nightlife. The syndicate, linked to Iraq-based gangs and the Cartel, is using encrypted apps to recruit young, low-level criminals. Over thirty incidents, including firebombings, shootings, and kidnappings, have occurred in CBD, Southbank, and Chapel Street areas. The attacks, reminiscent of tobacco turf battles, have left owners and promoters terrified, with no clear motive or demands. The police have made thirty-five arrests and laid over one hundred forty charges, but the violence continues. The industry is on edge, with some venues beefing up security. The police chief vows to shut down the syndicate and restore safety to Melbournes night scene.
