Original subtitles

Uh, seriously, guys, there's no hurry.

Take your time.

We're three minutes off, smartarse.

Ahh, these dudes are slick.

You can send the fan mail later, just give me the commentary.

Yep, they're on to the ATM now.

Tell me they haven't done this before.

Leon, any other handiwork from these guys?

Yeah, yeah, give me a sec.

Oh, they're off and running. 49.3 seconds. It's a record.

MAN: Come on, man. Go, go, go!

They're on Punch, going east.

And if you'd like to hang a right you might just get a visual.

OK, thanks, Leon.

Yep. Got 'em. There. Stell.

OK, I've got two, no, make that three recent jobs with the same M.O.

Stay in the car!

(MAN SHOUTS)

Lawson, he's got a weapon!

Get up. Come on!

On your knees! Hands behind your head!

Do it!

Has your mate got a gun? Has he got a gun?

Go.

Do not move...

Stell, the offender could have a weapon.

Stell, I repeat, the guy could have a weapon.

I'm coming in from the other direction.

Police! Stop right there!

Drop it! Drop it now!

-(FIRES GUN) -Shit!

Drop it! Get on your knees! On your knees!

-Hands behind your head! -Drop it!

-Get down! -Get down!

What the hell was that, Sandrelli?

-Nice, huh? -No! What are you, Rambo?

Go!

Go! Walk!

GRACE: I hate this, Josh.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

I know.

I want to stay with you.

Right, mate. In you go.

-I had him, Michael. He was mine. -He was pointing a gun at you.

Yeah, and you were standing right behind him

so if I'd fired...

-Stella... -..I'd have taken your head off.

What, are you practising for Special Ops, are you?

Too right.

I called it like I saw it.

-You were in my line of fire. -I was covering you.

No, you were just in the way.

That's bullshit.

Alright, listen, this is how it works.

You either put that in your report and we get an investigation

or you two bloody well grow up and we get on with it.

Now, let's go.

-Yuri, let go of me! -Go away, Denise!

-What have you done? -Go home, OK?

She doesn't want to see you. Go home!

-I'll call for help. -You do that. OK?

Just go away!

Denise!

-Yuri! -Go home!

Yuri, open this door!

Yuri! (BANGS ON DOOR)

-Yuri! -Hey. Hey!

What's going on?

He's got his wife locked in there and she's my daughter.

Yuri!

Hey, why don't you come down here and tell me what's going on?

I'm a police officer.

-(SIGHS) -Come down here.

He's got her inside and he won't let me see her.

Daughter?

She called me this morning and something isn't right

so I came down here and...

-What's your name? -Denise.

OK, Denise, come down here and sit tight

and I'll go and have a chat with him, alright?

-Just calm down. -Thank you very much.

-Yuri, is it? (KNOCKS ON DOOR) -YURI: Go away.

Yuri, I'm a police officer. My name's Josh.

Would you mind opening up the door, please?

-There's nothing wrong here. -OK, great.

Well, do you wanna come out and we can chat about it?

No.

I can't. I can't come out.

Why? What's happened?

Nothing's happened, alright? It's all good. OK?

See, that's the thing, Yuri. It doesn't seem like it's all good.

-Your mother-in-law, she... -Yeah, what'd she say to you, huh?

She never comes near us and all of a sudden she wants to come inside.

Yeah, that's just because she's a bit worried about your wife, mate.

Is she inside?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Um...

She doesn't want to talk to you right now.

OK.

OK.

I love my wife. OK?

And I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

I understand that, Yuri. No worries.

-Catherine! -You gotta go away!

-Catherine! -GO!

It is over, it's finished.

I'm taking Catherine and Charlie. They're coming home with me!

Hey! That's enough. You're not helping.

Look, she called me, she asked me to come here.

I have a key to the place, for heaven's sake!

I understand that. You're not helping.

Can you just wait here? Please?

(DIALS NUMBER ON MOBILE PHONE)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hey, mate. How are you?

Yeah, I'm fine. Look, I've walked into a domestic.

A domestic? You're supposed to be taking some time off.

Yeah, I was, but, um...

Look, it's going bad. I need you here.

Yeah, alright. Just tell me where you are.

I'm round the corner from my place on Hickson Road.

(UNLOCKS DOOR)

Hello, sweetheart. Come give Nana a hug.

Hey, Charlie, you stay there.

I'm just going to go talk to Nana. OK?

Hey, they're my family.

Just hurry up, will you?

-No-one's taking him again! Get out! -Come here.

OUT!

It's OK.

Yeah?

Make you some lunch, huh?

Stuck in here for three days. I'm fine.

I just wanna get back on the job.

Light duties, Dom. On the base.

When you fall off a horse, don't they tell you to get straight back on it?

Dom, you didn't just fall off a horse.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Dom?

Lawson, you gotta talk to Kerry.

I'm going stir-crazy back here.

-Why? What's she saying? -Light duties.

Look, I'm good. I've had every bloody test under the sun.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I just wanna be back out there with you guys.

Alright. Look, I'll talk to her.

Thanks, mate. It'd be much appreciated.

Thank you. (PUSHES BUTTON)

So, how's the little Princess of Wales?

She's tiring.

But she's pretty damn gorgeous.

-So, where's the pickies? -Here. Right there.

Oh, she's a heart-breaker.

How did I end up with a baby so beautiful?

(LAUGHS) Good question.

It's a trick they play on their parents.

-Thought of a name yet? -No, not really.

I keep thinking that, um...

..I wanna call her Grace.

Where we up to?

30-year-old with a knife, he's got a seven or eight-year-old son

and the mother-in-law's a nightmare.

That's her?

She's been winding him up since I got here.

Michael, you look after her. Stell, have a look down the alleyway.

Try not to get her shot, eh?

Yuri, it's Josh. Open up, please, mate.

Hello, mate. What's your name?

Charlie.

-My dad's not here. -Oh, right. Where did he go?

Out the back.

Stell, he went your way.

Josh and me are policemen.

Do you mind if we come in and have a little look?

Good on you, champ.

How long ago did your dad leave?

Just after Nana came in.

-(QUIETLY) 10 minutes, bit more. -Right.

What about your mum? She here?

Don't think so.

Hey, Charlie, this is Stella.

Why don't you stay with her for a bit while we have a look around?

Hey, Charlie.

Let's go outside, hey?

Oh, bloody hell.

Leon, we need ambos at this address, urgently.

We've got a woman with a head injury.

Hey, Lawson.

Also, get all units onto a 1992 Toyota LandCruiser utility.

-Stell, we got a colour? -White.

It's white in colour.

Registration Quebec India Victor 260.

The driver is one Yuri Ademovic.

-How is she? -She's pretty bad.

Ambos are on their way.

They better be quick.

(SIRENS APPROACHING)

You just don't get it, do you?

Oh, Stella, you're making too much of this.

Yeah, I could've been shot, but that's no big deal.

-That was never gonna happen. -(SCOFFS)

You can't say that.

OK, if you wanna fill out a report then that's what you need to do.

Oh, shut up, Mike. Shut up.

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIGHS) Such a child.

No, he's got no form.

But he did get a warning for road rage

out near the Grampians six months ago.

Road rage. Well, that fits this bloke.

Here's another thing. He's actually an ex-army sniper.

Here's what I got - surname, Ademovic.

One of my mob, actually. The world's gentlest people.

Just get on with it, Leon.

He came over here with mummy and daddy when he was in infants school,

went back when all hell broke loose.

He was in the Bosnian army, came back in 1995,

he still calls Australia home

although he did shoot people for two years.

OK, well, keep digging.

Uh, see what else he trained for - bombs, unarmed combat, what.

Lawson, my people don't need to learn unarmed combat,

we use weapons.

Hey, jump in and we'll give you a lift.

No, I'm coming to base.

-You sure? -Yep. I need to work.

Hey. Take some time off. OK?

I would.

Go on a holiday for a couple of weeks, get all cheery

and then everything's sweet?

Right. Get in.

GRACE: This is ridiculous, Josh.

It's stupid, it's...

..crazy, it's selfish, it's mean.

Grace...

I don't know who I am when I'm with you.

I can't do this.

Can't do it.

Poor bastard.

Let's go.

The Diving Swallow Cafe on Fitzroy Street -

attempted hold-up - he matches our guy's description.

-What's the weapon? -No confirmation on that.

Alright. We're on it.

(SIREN WAILS)

He's taken off that way.

OK, Stell, get in there and find out what happened.

Keep in contact, yeah?

-How's that? -Let's go.

He just went nuts. Thought he was gonna tear the place apart.

Well, looks like he did a pretty good job.

He was over here by the ATM.

Didn't really notice him at first

then he just started kicking at it and screaming.

So nothing else made him go off?

Not that I know of.

-No robbery or anything? -No, he just went apeshit.

So you and Stell sorted it yet?

It's her problem, not mine.

You sure about that?

Yep. She won't listen to anything I say.

Well, then, that is your problem.

It's not about right or wrong.

If the team's fighting itself, it's not much of a team, is it?

Hey, Lawson, our waiter's got the LandCruiser's rego.

It's definitely our boy, Yuri.

OK. Thanks, Stell.

-So work it out? -Yeah. Sure.

Good.

This goes against the grain, Dom, but Lawson wants you out there.

Yeah, it's a good idea.

And just a word of advice - playing one side against the other,

it's not always the best way of getting what you want.

Josh. What are you doing?

Supposed to be on the road.

Ohh, what happened, Michael? Did he outdrive you?

-Funny. -Mmm.

Think this guy's decided today is not his best day.

Tries to kill his wife, then tries to rob some cafe -

something's come loose somewhere.

He didn't try and rob it.

He was just a customer trying to get money out of the ATM.

Must've swallowed his card or something.

-So he takes the place apart? -Excellent.

I'm starting to like this guy.

(CAR CLUNKS AND RATTLES)

(ENGINE DIES)

NO!

-How you feeling? -Yeah, I'm fine.

Everything's good.

But...?

Well, just, you know...

I can't help, just the...

Those soldiers, you know, like,

the ones who survive when their whole unit got wiped out...

I haven't even told Sandrine this, but...

What?

When it went off I was closest. Like, I was right there.

And... I just can't help feeling that...

You know...

..that she'd be alright now if it was me who had...copped it.

That's stupid.

I just should've picked it earlier.

I should've known where that bomb was.

Dom, this isn't helping anyone.

Hey, I'm just telling you. You don't need to put shit on me.

-I'm not putting shit on you. -(SCOFFS)

Whatever, Josh.

(TYRES SCREECH, HORN BLARES)

Hey!

-Watch where you're going! -Sorry.

Sorry.

MAN: (OVER RADIO) Uniforms have located the guy's ute.

The corner of Blithely Street and Cotswold Road in Essendon.

-You guys wanna take a look? -Yeah. Copy that.

I got a question for you.

That bomber...

..what goes on in a person like that?

You know, you're so angry that you have to blow people up?

He's a psycho.

Why take it out on innocent people?

(SIGHS)

Do you know where they're holding him, Dom?

Josh, you don't wanna go there.

So he's got no form at all?

Not in any State in Australia, not in Bosnia, nowhere.

He's not a criminal, Kerry.

Jeez, I wish someone would tell him that.

What if he's just an ordinary shmo?

Does everyone have to be a criminal?

Well, that's our business. Or hadn't you noticed?

What, you've never had a fight with a loved one and gone a bit bonkers?

Oh, Leon, the guy, he put his wife in hospital,

he smashed up some cafe.

Yeah. So he's got issues. So what? So do we all.

-Leon. -I'm serious.

Why don't you just shoot him now and save society the problem?

(TUTS)

Charlie?

What are you doing here?

Hey, mate, want to get some stuff together? We're gonna go away.

-Where? -Gonna go camping.

-You can't take him. -Come on, quick.

Go get your sleeping bag, whatever else you need.

Yes!

Don't you realise what you've done?

Yuri. No! Oh.

Are you insane? Think about this.

-No, you're not doing this. -Denise, where's the keys?

Give me your car keys, Denise.

Give me it. Give me it!

(KEYS JANGLE)

Who are you calling, Denise? Come here. Give me that.

Charlie, go back to your room. You're not going anywhere.

Yuri, please stop and think about this.

Don't do this!

Good boy. That's a good boy.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hop in quickly.

Jump in fast, buddy.

Put it in the glove box for me, mate.

Why have you got guns?

'Cause we're going hunting.

OK? Just you and me.

-OK. -Seatbelt, little man.

(STARTS ENGINE)

Leon, can you put out an all units on the mother-in-law's car?

It's a red Ford Festiva,

registration Sierra Yankee November 677.

Also, get onto the LSD, see what sort of firearms this guy's got.

Well, see, copper, that's where I'm way ahead of you.

He's registered a .243 Winchester

and a 12-gauge lever-action shotty.

No hand guns?

Why would you hunt kangaroo with a hand gun, for God's sake?

He's ex-army, he's abducted his son, he's running around with firearms.

This bloke could do anything. Answer the bloody question.

Maybe he's just gone hunting with his son.

Have you ever thought of that?

He's seriously pissing me off.

He was 19.

His father was a horrible man,

a real bully.

He told him he had to go and defend the homeland or something.

You could see he was terrified and didn't want to go.

So were they married then?

No, they got married after he came back.

And she said everything was OK for a year or so

and then he started getting strange.

Right. Strange how?

He went into himself, he started having nightmares.

She said she woke up one night

and he was trying to strangle her.

-Did she report that? -No.

She said he had no memory of it.

And then he started disappearing.

He'd take his rifles and go hunting.

He'd drive up into NSW and hunt pigs.

Yeah, well, there's nothing really wrong with that.

He wouldn't phone her,

he wouldn't contact her for weeks

and then when he came back

it was as if he hadn't ever been away.

I mean, look, he's actually a lovely guy

but that is no way a husband should act.

Did he have a recent history of violence towards her?

I don't know. She probably wouldn't tell me anyway.

She loved him, though. I can tell you that much.

She really loved him.

There was a bail hearing this morning.

They're taking him back to Barwon this afternoon.

-Thanks, Dom. -I'm not here, alright?

I love you, Grace.

I have since the first time I saw you.

I know.

I love you too.

Grace?

You were there.

Yeah.

My colleagues and my friends.

You've been interviewed by experts

who wanted to know how you planned it,

when did you first get the idea,

did you think you'd be arrested.

I'm not interested in any of that.

But I've got a question for you.

You ever been in love?

Comes out of nowhere.

One minute you're fine being alone...

..then the next minute someone else is inside your head.

It's not about you anymore.

So when that's taken away,

for no reason...

..there's a lot of questions.

She was there,

and you killed her...

..and I need to know why.

Your hunter's been sighted.

Uniforms spotted him at a burger joint,

corner of Dandenong and Butler Road.

OK, just tell them to keep an eye on him but to stay clear, OK?

-We're about... -Six minutes.

..about six minutes off.

Dom, how far are you?

Er, 13.

-Hey, Josh? -Yeah, coming.

So, did you kick the crap out of him?

Just drive.

I just want to say that, um,

I don't know where you are right now

but, um, we're all hit by Grace.

Every one of us,

in our own way.

-Just... -Yeah. I know.

(STARTS ENGINE)

(SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE)

Come on. Hurry up.

In the car.

Quick, mate. (STARTS ENGINE)

Put your seatbelt on.

(SIREN WAILS)

Where are we going, Dad?

Shut up for a sec, mate.

Come on. Get out.

Come with me, buddy. Come on.

-Shit! -(BRAKES SCREECH)

Come on!

Charlie, come here.

-MICHAEL: Lawson, weapon. -Stay there!

-STELLA: Police! Get down! -Stay there!

Charlie, come here. Come here.

Come on. Charlie, come here.

Yuri, I need you to put the gun down and to step away.

Go to hell!

Charlie, come here.

Let's resolve this without anyone else being hurt.

-OK? -You're gonna have to shoot me.

So come on! Shoot me!

I don't want to shoot you.

Charlie? Charlie.

I need you to come this way, Charlie.

Your dad and I have to talk about a few things, fix a few things up.

Shut up! Charlie, come here.

Come on. Come on. Good boy.

Yeah. Good boy.

Yuri...how about we get Charlie out of here?

He's my son and he's not going anywhere.

Come here.

I need you to go over there.

No.

I need you to go with the policemen.

-They won't hurt you. -But I want to stay with you.

You can't, little man.

Not this time.

Where are you going?

I've got to go away. OK?

I love you.

Now go. Go on.

Go.

Just move this way, Charlie. This way.

Michael, grab the kid. Stell, get round the other way.

-Got it! -MICHAEL: Charlie.

Charlie, hey.

Stell, where are you?

Next room over. I'm trying to get behind him.

OK, I'm in the first.

Keep moving through, try and remember where you've been.

Yeah, copy that.

We go fishing sometimes.

Mm?

-My dad's really bad at fishing. -Yeah?

Well, my dad's the world's worst.

Why aren't you helping them find him?

Er, 'cause I'm looking after you.

Are they gonna shoot him?

Nah.

These guys will take you home.

This is Charlie. He needs a lift to his grandma's.

Righto.

LAWSON: OK, let's kit up.

He's got a Bruno .223 with a scope.

So I'd say he's turned back into sniper guy

which means he'll head for higher ground.

First want to clear down here, so systematic search.

We'll pair off,

clear every area one by one.

Josh, Dom, this side of the alleyway.

-You two down here. -Place goes on forever.

Well, try not to go round in circles.

At least he doesn't know this place either.

We're gonna need 40 guys.

No. No backup at this stage. I want to keep this low-key.

Alright, go.

Put the weapon down on the ground, hands behind your head!

Put it down now!

Put the gun down, Yuri.

I will shoot you.

I figured that's what you came here to do, so shoot me.

You put the gun down and we can talk about this.

No talking.

JOSH: (ON RADIO) Lawson, where are you?

You gonna shoot me again?

I don't actually recall ever shooting you the first time.

She's OK, Yuri.

No, she's not.

We had an argument in the bathroom.

She fell.

There was blood coming out of her head.

I checked for a pulse and she didn't have a pulse.

Yes, she did. She's in the hospital.

You're just saying that.

No. It's true.

I'll call the hospital now.

-They'll tell you the same thing. -Don't! Get your hand off that radio

Get it off.

She's OK, Yuri.

I'm telling you the truth.

She's alright?

Yeah.

Really?

Really.

-I think we should go. -No!

Hey! No-one goes.

How many have you got chasing me?

No, that doesn't matter right now.

Does to me.

It'll matter to them.

Why did you chase me this morning?

Why didn't you just let me go?

I'd be off hunting, fishing with my boy.

Would have come back in a couple of days to face the music.

You see, there's no music to face, Yuri.

So why are you hunting me?

This is what you do for a living.

Hunt people with your guns.

No. I wouldn't say 'hunt'.

I used to have a job like yours.

Yeah, I heard.

They turned me into something that I didn't want to be.

I did it.

I was good at it.

Well, that's in the past, Yuri. You're not there now.

How many people have you shot?

This is impossible.

Did you check everything through there?

Yeah.

Lawson.

Lawson.

They gave me a rifle.

I had a licence to kill.

Not many guys would say no to that.

You didn't.

No.

I'm a police officer. That's different.

(HALF-LAUGHS)

How?

This guy that you shot...

..was that the right thing to do?

At the time I thought it was.

At the time. That's enough.

The rest is just bullshit.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

LEON: (LAUGHS) That's too funny.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

I gotta go. Yeah.

OK, Leon,

now, I know you're a civilian, I know you're a nerd

and I know you think you're bloody hilarious,

but you pull that shit like you went through today one more time

and you are gone.

Mate, that was...

I've got better things to do than to listen to your crap

when I'm trying to lead an operation, you understand?

Yeah.

Great.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Professional sniper and you walk up like that?

You're an idiot.

I'll tell you what - when I write my report,

it's gonna end with the words "successful non-fatal termination".

So how about that?

It was lucky I had you covered.

Yeah, you had me covered.

I was on the other roof with a rifle.

Well, if he was gonna shoot me,

he would have done it long before you turned up.

I bet you're not gonna put that in your report.

So what is he? Your new best mate?

Look, it's called negotiating.

Right, negotiating.

Well, while you were negotiating, I had my crosshairs on his forehead,

so you would have been alright.
