EP 8: The Vault (Finale)
After decades of silence, the Vault finally opens. What spills out rewrites everything Australia thought it knew about Donald Mackay, organised crime, and the men who wrote the laws they broke.
As long-buried files resurface, the ghosts of Griffith return — from secret funerals to erased bank ledgers, from the priests who blessed the cash to the ministers who called it reform.
This finale unearths the trail of quiet deals, lost evidence, and the power structures built on forgetting.
From the final search for Mackay’s body to the archives that refused to die, The Vault exposes how truth survives even the best attempts to bury it.
Because the Vault isn’t gone. It’s everywhere we choose to look away.Written & narrated by Stephen Johns
