In this episode Regan is a suspect following the suspicious death of brothel madam and whistleblower Shirley Brifman in Brisbane where the gangster is using his muscle to expand his various business ventures. Regan hooks up with the shady Clockwork Orange Gang and rocks the Queensland capital with a series of nightclub fires as he tries to set up a lucrative extortion racket which culminates in the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub firebombing that leaves 15 innocent people dead and becomes the largest mass murder in Australian criminal history.  For the first time Regan’s relationship with the Whiskey tragedy is exposed. And it may just have pulled the trigger on a plot not just to silence him but to get rid of him for good.
