East West 101 - Series 3 (2011)

Strong violence and sexual violence

What happened during the war in the opium fields of the Chora Valley in Afghanistan, and the collateral damage to civilians in Takrit in Northern Iraq, comes home to the main streets of Lakemba and the malls of Cabramatta. A violent robbery is committed. Thirty six million dollars stolen. Four men killed. One of them, an armed robber, is middle-eastern, a mysterious figure with international connections. The robbery has the marks of a military operation. Has it been committed by extremists to fund an act of terror in Australia? Or is it the deed of highly organised crooks? Detective Zane Malik is on a quest to find the men responsible. And the professional quest, has a personal motive. His son and wife are involved in a car accident the day of the robbery. Malik suspects their car was hit by a vehicle fleeing the robbery. But is he right or has grief overwhelmed logic?
