1 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,000 I was born Mark Reed, 23 years in jail. Seven stabbings, two severed ears, 2 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,280 and a heap of killings later, I became Chopper, a name that would light up 3 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,280 anywhere. 4 00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,080 But I put that behind me. 5 00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:24,360 I was a best -selling author, and I promised my high school sweetheart, 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,740 Margaret, I'd go straight. It'd just be Mark. 7 00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,520 So we set up home in Tassie. 8 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,260 I even got myself a sidekick, Trent. 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,740 Her life was sweet. 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,640 What could go wrong? 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,520 Sid Collins, you know, that's what. 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,680 I mean, a small -time crook plans a big -time wedding, and I'm invited. 13 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,720 He takes it personal, gets himself shot, and tells the cops I did it. 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,580 All the things I'd gotten away with, you know. And now I've been arrested for 15 00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:56,840 the one thing I didn't do. 16 00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:05,650 It doesn't help that people think I'm as mad as a cut snake, you know. 17 00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:07,290 Maybe I am. 18 00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:10,470 I've done some crazy stuff for a giggle, you know. 19 00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:55,310 With a loaded gun to my head, I mean, I knew the odds were in my favour. 20 00:02:56,370 --> 00:02:58,790 And now I had to make sure the same went for the tribe. 21 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:02,450 And that meant getting the best lawyer in town. 22 00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:26,350 You know what's going on here, right? 23 00:03:26,890 --> 00:03:30,290 Well, the Crown don't want to make an example of me, punish me for my whole 24 00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:32,990 life. But they've got nothing. There's no gun, no witnesses. 25 00:03:33,310 --> 00:03:34,750 It's just his word against mine. 26 00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:39,910 Yes, but you must appreciate that his word could be considered more 27 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:44,450 than yours.

Even if it was a bulldog, which I don't think 33 00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:02,350 it is, but even if Ted got shot in that car, it doesn't mean I did it, you know? 34 00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:04,390 I mean, I employ a chauffeur. 35 00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:08,310 Would I sit in the front seat with that maggot in back of me?
