If Blood Should Stain The Wattle

Episode 1.02
Monday, January 01, 2018 (Stan)
Written by James Napier Robertson
Directed by Geoffrey Wright

Kane broadens Patriot Blue's mission and his relationship with its leader's wife, Zoe, reconnects with his sister Cindi. Gabe is heartbroken by Kane moving in fascist circles, but has keeps own shadowy connections.

Laila, now the unwitting figurehead of young Muslim Australia is sought after by both the Anti-fascists and the right-wing media. She succumbs to Jago’s flattery, goes on his show to tell her side of the story, and is humiliated when he turns on her.

This provokes a crisis within her community, leading to her boyfriend Farid’s brother, Malik, an aspiring MMA fighter, losing his cool and attacks a meth addled truck driver, nearly killing him. Kane takes advantage of this incident and makes a strategic move, changing Patriot Blue’s strategy from isolated reprisals to a broader sweep of ‘cleaning up’ the city with far-right militia Night Patrols becoming an alternative law-and-order force.

Kane’s burgeoning takeover of Patriot Blue includes an escalation of his relationship with Zoe. Cindi’s reappearance in his life also begins to reveal his one weakness ...his loyalty to family. He does not know that his mother, Gabe, who is heartbroken to see Kane falling into the same fascist circles from which she once broke free, is connected to shadowy forces at the highest levels of law enforcement and politics through her married lover Marco.
