(BIRDS CHIRP)

Are we sure we're in the right area?

Yep.

-You know for certain? -Yep.

Ravenshead? That's Ravenshead College there.

-Leon... -Lawson!

Hey. Leon, just go over the details of that call again for me.

Uh, two boys reportedly dragged screaming from their room.

Last seen outside Ravers.

-Ravers? -LEON: (OVER RADIO) Mmm.

Not Ravenshead. We're in the wrong area.

It's the same place, Stella. They're...

Ravers is the name of the cafeteria attached to the college.

Shannon said she knows it.

-Shit! -Mary hell.

Did you see that? I'll get the climbing gear and med kit.

OK. Leon, we need an ambulance here ASAP.

We're here to help. We're gonna get you down.

Just need you to hang in there for me.

(GRUNTS)

SHANNON: Take it easy. We'll have you down in a sec.

(MEN GRUNT)

I need you to relax. Just keep still for me, mate.

-He's having trouble breathing. -(MAN GRUNTS WILDLY)

Yep. Go, Lawson.

-(WHEEZES) Puffer. -Ventolin?

-(WHEEZES) -It's OK. Calm down.

(CONTINUES WHEEZING)

Are you right? (SPRAYS PUFFER)

One more?

-(SPRAYS PUFFER) Just breathe. -(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

OK, we're gonna get you down.

(SLURPS) Mmm.

(SLURPS)

OK. Dom, can you just put that in your mouth?

Hey?

Can you just eat the bloody sandwich?

Sometimes I like to separate the flavours.

There are things that I like to do as well,

but I don't do that around, um, other people.

You cry more than my daughter, you know that?

MAN: (ON RADIO) Report of possible shots fired

at Malone's Used Cars, Bower Street, Abbotsford.

I'll take that.

-You right? -(SIREN WAILS)

MAN: Just a big, dumb joke.

-LAWSON: You were in on it, though? -No, they dragged us out of bed.

-They were just mucking around. -SHANNON: Who?

-They covered our heads. -But you knew 'em.

-We're fine. -Right.

-Well, you weren't a minute a go. -STELLA: Lawson.

Ambos are happy to let them go.

Yeah, OK.

Look...how about you give us a couple of names?

Otherwise it's you two who cop the blame for wasting police resources.

Has anything like this ever happened before?

No.

Alright.

Let's check inside, see if anyone saw anything.

Yep.

-LEON: (ON RADIO) Uh, Lawson. -Yeah?

I got security footage of four fatheads

dragging your two through the college around 5am.

Can you ID any of 'em?

(SIGHS) They're all wearing sunglasses and caps.

They waved to the security camera on their way through.

Um, did anyone look like they were enjoying themselves?

It's hard to say.

They sure used a decent amount of force.

OK. Thanks.

(BILLIARD BALLS CLACK)

Constable Dagostino.

Any of you boys see what happened this morning?

Slept in, sorry.

Well, there was an assault on two of your fellow students.

(LAUGHS) Those two? They're always running off at the mouth.

(LAUGHS) Look, they probably did it themselves.

That wouldn't be possible.

Do you know if Mark and Aden

have been subjected to this kind of thing before?

I wouldn't like to guess what those two get up to in their spare time.

They don't fit in and they don't try to.

They're gonna attract negative attention, aren't they?

Well, I don't know. You tell me.

You wouldn't get it. It's all good coming your way, hey?

-So, you know nothing about it. -Sorry, babe.

I'd love to help you out, but, uh, those two, they just drift around

and we don't really have much to do with them.

OK. Well, if you hear anything, BABE, let us know.

-Can do. -Mmm.

What's your mobile number?

You can call the Tactical Response Unit

and speak to my senior sergeant, Lawson Blake.

-Harsh. -(STIFLED LAUGHTER)

You might need some more chalk on your stick.

(LAUGHS) Uh, you blew it, Jimmy.

I might be able to get through to Aden

if we can get Mark out of the way.

Alright, two minutes, OK?

I'm not wasting any more time with these blokes

if they're not prepared to put in.

Aden, do you wanna come with me for a moment?

-Look, thanks for your help. -Let's go.

-Hang on. -Hey, it was just a joke, right?

So, like, get over it.

Yeah, I could see you laughing through the tape.

Just give me a name and I can do something.

Look, just forget it. They're just a bunch of B averages.

-Yeah, well, we can press charges. -Yeah, like that'd fix everything.

Aden, you need to stand up for yourself,

otherwise people are gonna walk all over you.

Aden.

I gotta go.

-STELLA: Nothing. -Alright. We're outta here.

JOSH: Ouch.

I blame the government for raising the mixed drink tax.

You know it's actually cheaper to drink straight spirits now?

I don't know how you touch the stuff.

-Anything been going on? -Oh, shots fired. Usual gaff.

Ever heard of a nightclub called Shtum? (EXHALES)

-What? -You might wanna get some chewie.

-Oh, it's not that bad, is it? -Yeah.

Eugh.

Always be prepa...

Eugh. That's...

-Can you take care of this for a sec? -Yep.

(SIGHS)

(SPITS)

(SNIFFS)

You got any more info on this for us, Leon?

Hang on a sec, Dom.

Shouldn't you be counting screws?

Yeah, I've taken a step up in the world.

Hey, uh, Dom wants to know if you've got any more info.

Yeah, Dom, the owner called it in.

She went to open up, spotted a guy trying to bust into a car.

-He started taking pot shots. -Yeah, and where's she?

Uh, she took off, but she said that

we should try and get to the intruder before someone called Thor.

And is Thor armed too?

Uh, I can't help you there.

-You got your appointment today. -Yeah, later.

Oh. Oh, jeez, you look well rested.

-I slept like a baby, actually. -Uh-huh.

Actually, babies wake up during the night. I slept better than a baby.

-Uh, good morning. -Oh, we'll see about that.

Dom, in position.

This is the police!

Don't move! Drop your weapon and put your hands where I can see 'em!

-What are you saying?! -Drop your weapon!

Put your hands where I can see them!

He's injured, left side of the head.

Uh, Dom, there's a dog in the back corner.

He's got a bit of a stare on.

-You think it's Thor? -It's a good fit.

LAWSON: (ON RADIO) Leon, have you found anything

that will help us ID those pricks that strung up those kids?

Someone's already posted the photos from this morning.

Can you find out who?

Yeah, I can probably track down the computer used to load the images.

Yeah, great. Do that, will ya?

Listen to me!

-What's your name?! -What?!

-What is your name? -Warren.

Warren. My name's Dominic.

So, Warren, what is it you're trying to do here today?

The bitch said she'd only get 2.5 grand for my car,

so she only gave me a thousand bucks.

Yeah, well, that's used cars, Warren.

No, no, no, no!

I walked past and she's got five grand on the car!

She's ripped me off!

Oh, look, I'm sure that she had her reasons. We can talk to her about it.

And now he's ripped off my anniversary present!

Hey, look, Warren, Warren, just drop your weapon

and we'll see what we can do about getting you a better deal.

Nah, nah! No more Meaty-Bites for him!

Dom, he's losing it. Let's move in.

But, Michael, he's got a point about the car.

-Dom! -OK. Look, I'm onto it.

LEON: Check this out. It's just been loaded.

-Hey, Lawson. -LAWSON: (ON RADIO) Yeah.

You know your two boys this morning?

They've just posted a picture of themselves.

Everyone just loves to share it around these days, don't they?

Yeah.

Look, uh, they're both carrying crossbows.

And, um, it says, "Comrades in a great achievement.

"Your enrolment has been terminated effective immediately."

OK, copy that. Time for a chat, eh?

LEON: A nice set of results he's got.

Here we go. Sending you through the number now.

VOICEMAIL: You've called Aden. Please leave a message.

MessageBank. Hi, Aden.

This is Senior Constable Shannon Henry from this morning.

There's something that I'd like to talk to you about.

Do you wanna give me a call back?

Otherwise, meet me at the cafeteria. OK, see you soon.

His idea of revenge is probably putting viruses

on all his enemies' computers.

Alright, Shannon, when we get there you need to apply some pressure, OK?

-Get these guys talking. -Yep.

I just need to get Aden on his own.

DOMINIC: Stop! Don't move! Put the weapon on the ground!

-Hey! Come back with my ear! -Warren, drop your weapon!

Drop the weapon now! Put it on the ground!

Put it down on the ground and show me your hands!

Put it down!

-Show me your hands! -I just wanna get my ear back!

Step back.

-Yeah? -MAN: Then I'll chuck it back on.

-It'll be good again. -Yeah, right, OK.

-It's about an hour, alright? -Excellent. Thank you. Thank you.

-Hey! -MICHAEL: What do you think of a...

Hey, the ambo says that if we find the ear

they may be able to reattach it.

-No. Dom, no. -Yeah, yeah. No, they can.

Wh... It could be anywhere.

Hey, it could affect his hearing.

SHANNON: Hi.

Have you seen Aden Geddes or Mark Ward?

Don't know them.

Thanks.

(SIGHS) Leon, have we got a room number for our boy?

He's in the east dorm, level two, room 207.

You know you can still hear without the earlobe.

Yeah, just no-one wants to talk to you.

And what if the dog ate it?

Then we'll get a stomach pump.

You know what your problem is?

Pick one.

Compassion fatigue.

People that work around trauma get it.

What about people who work around idiots?

Don't move!

Oh.

That's disgusting.

Do you think that's it?

(SIREN WAILS)

What's this? That's not my ear.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, there were no other ears to choose from.

Oh, right.

Decided to give yourselves a little tip for your trouble, did you?

Hey?

My diamond stud - it goes right there.

Are you kidding me?

Unbelievable.

Rip-off merchants from one end of this joint to the other.

My wife gave me that for my anniversary.

Warren, there was no diamond stud there when I found it.

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure there wasn't.

And there you were telling me you'd get me a better deal.

Bullshit.

They could sew it to your arse, for all I care.

When you come out of surgery,

there's gonna be a uniformed cop standing here.

And I'm gonna personally recommend

that he charges you with attempted robbery,

firearms offences, resisting arrest, cruelty to animals

and whatever bloody else I can think of.

-OK, you're done with him. -Alright?

I hope your operation is a success

so that you can clearly hear the jury call out the guilty verdict!

Happy listening, Warren.

-LAWSON: No? -STELLA: Nuh.

Alright, around the other side.

Leon, this place is locked up tight.

I'll see if I can get onto security.

There's another door down here.

-WOMAN: You did it. -JOSH: Yep.

Good.

OK.

Got a pen?

-Nuh. -There you go.

Write down three things that make you angry.

Yeah, I did that.

I want you to do it again.

How do you spell 'psychologist'?

Stop dodging, write it down.

Write three of each of these -

irritating, offensive...

What about something funny?

Let's do 'attractive'.

What's that got to do with anything?

-Sex. -You said attractive.

-You've been here four times. -Yeah.

And we've talked about why you're angry,

who makes you angry, how you talk to them.

Not once have you mentioned a female.

It's not normal.

I don't think you're supposed to say that.

You're quite comfortable with anger, Josh.

Now, obviously the fact that you're prone to bopping people...

-Bopping? -You attacked him.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

One of your colleagues had been hurt earlier that day.

Yeah, she's a girl at work, but she had nothing to do with it.

Called?

She's a constable.

-What's her name? -Shannon.

I'm OK saying her name.

Would she go on your attractive list?

It's all you psychs ever wanna talk about.

What? Shannon?

That's her name.

(TURNS HANDLE) Lawson.

Yeah?

Right, out of the way.

OK, Shannon.

-It's OK. -WOMAN: They shot him with an arrow.

I can't move my fingers.

I thought they were gonna kill me.

OK, I need you to keep the pressure up on that, OK?

So, I thought you didn't know those two.

I don't. A pair of freaks, both of them.

OK, Leon, we have a positive ID from the injured boy.

It was those two from this morning.

Yeah, there's been a series of complaints

about people bullying them and doing weird shit to their stuff.

-Who, Aden and Mark? -Yeah.

It says here that they've both been

isolated and withdrawn when questioned,

but they refuse to make an official statement.

Can we ID exactly who they might have in their sights?

Er...can do, sure.

No sign of them, Lawson, yeah?

No, no sign of them.

-Anything, Shannon? -He's not answering.

Alright, Leon, have you got visual for us?

Yeah, I'm still working on accessing the security cameras.

I've got a map of the area.

OK, I need to know an exit.

Er...there's a stairwell at the end of the hallway.

Take that down a level and there should be a door on your right.

OK, copy that.

OK, I'm gonna have to clear this whole area.

We can't move him. You guys go and I'll stay here.

Alright.

Stell, grab those two.

OK, up nice and quick, nice and quiet behind the Senior Sergeant.

OK, Leon, Shannon is gonna stay with the injured boy.

We need ambos ASAP to assist.

Yep, I'm on it. Can we get some ambos for Shannon?

Oh, come on, Leon, give us some eyes.

Yeah, alright, it's coming.

Right, Shannon, if you are under threat in any way,

you do not hesitate, you understand?

Yep.

Just try and stay as still as you can.

In my bag. Watch out for my stinky socks.

It's OK. I work with stinky boys all day.

DOMINIC: This is going nowhere, isn't it?

-We're not getting any closer. -(HORN HONKS)

How far do you reckon it is?

1.5km.

-Yeah? -(SIREN WAILS)

Oh, well, I haven't had my run this morning.

Leon, look, we can't get any closer in the car. We're gonna go on foot.

Let's go.

OK, so, tell me why it makes you feel uncomfortable.

You're supposed to do that, aren't you?

I don't know. It just does.

It's not normal.

You can't keep saying that.

I can. But I probably shouldn't.

I'm here fulfilling the requirements of my suspension

for anger management, that's all.

And by your own admission, the one thing that makes you angry is a girl.

I never said that.

You're having a perfectly normal reaction.

Not so much the punching, but...

You should be pissed off. I would be.

It's not gonna help me get back on the grid, is it?

I should probably give you some advice

or something constructive.

-What about exercise? -Mmm, good idea.

Exercise will give you a greater sense of wellbeing.

Anything else?

Don't miss out on all the good stuff.

Not forever.

KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Look, Lawson,

VKC have just got a report of another injured student.

-Do they know where exactly? -Not as yet.

The call came from a mobile somewhere in the university.

Here we go.

Come on.

Bugger it!

I got the whole campus.

-Can you lock it down to the college? -I can try.

Well, make an effort, hey?

How am I meant to tell the difference?

It all looks the same, Kerry.

-Didn't you go to university? -Yeah, but not this one.

Dom, how far are you?

Yeah, we're five minutes away, Kerry.

Have you seen any uniforms?

No. All the roads are blocked.

WOMAN: Shush, there's someone out there.

-MAN: Yeah, I know. -(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Police. Open up.

STELLA: Move out nice and quiet. Stay between us.

-KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Lawson. -Yeah?

Look, Dom and Michael are about five minutes off,

but they're really having trouble getting backup in there.

Any reports of the offenders?

VKC have been hit with calls, but no sighting.

Maybe they got who they wanted and took off.

Yeah, possibly.

Well, either way, I'm not getting stuck inside here, OK?

-We're almost on the exit. -OK.

I'm gonna organise an evacuation of the area.

-Ambos? -Yeah, they're on their way.

OK. Right, Stella, let's move out.

(HORNS BLARE)

Lawson, room clearance.

Against this wall.

Covering.

It's clear.

Clear.

Covering.

Lawson, it's clear, but there's blood.

Copy that.

(WHISPERS) Down, down, down, get down.

Slowly, slowly.

OK, slowly, up, up.

Move out.

You're gonna be fine.

OK? You're gonna be fine.

I need some help in here.

Listen, Shannon, the ambulance is on their way,

but they're having trouble with the traffic.

(PHONE RINGS)

No-one's answering any of these numbers.

It's the right list, Kerry. They're all numbers for college staff.

(DIALS PHONE)

(PHONE RINGS)

-Yep? -Josh, could you come back in here?

I'm done cleaning cupboards, Kerry.

-Just get back in here, OK? -Alright, I'm on my way.

LEON: OK, here we go. This should all be vision from Ravenshead Hall.

Right.

-OK, we've got you, Lawson. -Kerry.

We've got visuals on the offenders.

LAWSON: OK, what have we got?

They're still in the college, Lawson.

-Weapons? -Yeah.

Looks like the crossbows that they had in the photo.

They're high-powered, fully automated, all the trimmings.

-Where did they go? -Hang on, hang on.

What's happening? Leon, where have they gone?

Um...there they are.

OK, they're coming down to you, Lawson.

OK. How far?

Um...

Come on, Leon.

Look, head for the other end of the hallway.

There's a stairwell that'll give you access to the other floors.

(GROANS)

Male down. Moving.

Bloody idiots! (GROANS)

-Are you able to walk? -Yeah.

-Come on, then. Up you get. -(GROANS)

Alright. Alright, mate, let's go.

(GROANS IN PAIN)

Nearly there. OK, sit down.

Leon, we've got a victim here with a pretty serious wound.

We're gonna need an ambo.

Yeah, they're trying to get through.

-Yeah, how long? -Um...I dunno - minutes.

Oh! I've gotta get this guy out of here, Leon.

There's a cafeteria about 200m to the right of the entrance.

Alright, OK, get the ambos to go there, OK?

OK.

-Alright, up you get. -(GROANS)

Come on, let's go.

Shannon, how are you?

He's holding on...just.

Yeah, well, keep the pressure up, yeah?

Yep.

Hey, you were right about those socks.

They pong. Come on, stay with me. Stay with me.

KERRY: Are you sure that's not the same door?

They're at opposite ends of the building.

-Just zoom in on that, will you? -Fine.

-You're 100% sure? -Yeah, I'm absolutely sure.

I'm 100% sure. I'm...

Oh, shit. Lawson, turn around, go back, head back.

Go back! I'm gonna shoot, I'm gonna shoot.

Go back! Back, back.

Oh, shit.

I was sure that camera was at the northern end.

Yeah, well, now you know it wasn't.

-I must have confused it with... -(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

-Where do you want me? -Right here.

What?

Oh, it's all locked down anyway, Josh.

You can't get in. I need you here.

I want you to talk to Shannon for me.

Thanks.

Right, come through.

Come on, come on.

KERRY: (OVER RADIO) Lawson, Dom's injured kid

hasn't given us anything to go on.

Can they get an angle on us up here?

Er, no, they've shit themselves. They've taken off.

Right. Where are they now?

-Um... -Oh, come on, Leon, come on.

I think they went right down to the bottom level.

Which end, Leon?

They're at the other side of the building.

Are you sure?

-Leon. -Sorry. Sorry, Lawson. You're clear.

OK, so, what are you thinking, Lawson?

Well, I'm thinking I've got a bunch of kids I need to get out of here.

Yeah, OK, OK.

Look, do we know if they're specifically targeting individuals,

or they're just on some kind of bloody rampage?

Look, it looks like they're focusing on a few people,

but I'd say they're pretty erratic too.

OK.

Let's just go out there.

Bullets beat crossbows.

(SIGHS)

Look, we've gotta get these people out of here before we engage anyone.

Dom, where are you guys?

DOMINIC: Just clearing the quad.

OK, get these kids out of here,

then go around and establish a cordon

at the other end of the building, OK?

OK.

We've gotta get these kids out of here now, OK?

Roger that.

Leon, I want you to direct Dom and Michael

around to the outside of our building.

Get the uniforms round to where Aden and Mark are and lock them down.

We're going out through the window.

(SCREAMING AND SHOUTING)

Dom.

OK, I need you to stay here and no-one comes in or out, alright?

KERRY: Starting to doubt themselves.

Is that good or bad?

Both.

Have you lost it?

No.

'Cause right now we haven't got the time, you know?

I can get someone else. You can have a shower or a nap.

No, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.

-Guys. -Ambulance is there now, Shannon.

Hey. Tell them to hurry.

No, Shannon, you're on your own.

The uniforms aren't gonna let them in there

until we've secured the two offenders.

Shit.

(QUIETLY) Oh, I'm sick.

Hey, where are you going?

Just two minutes.

Shit.

(WHISPERS) Come on.

LAWSON: You'll be fine, OK?

That's secure.

Coming down.

Just go slow, OK?

Just ease yourself out the window, OK?

I've got you. You're not going anywhere. That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

Come on, breathe, you prick.

Shannon?

It's no good, Josh.

Alright, you've seen the others.

Nice and slow, one leg over, OK?

Nice and easy, just at your pace.

Watch me.

KERRY: Settle down, you little shits.

They're possibly past that, Kerry.

Oh, no, no. No, no, no. Stay there, stay there.

Oh, shit. Guys...

Guys, the boys are on the move.

Where?

We've got...to the southern end of the building.

Where are the uniforms?

We've got a cordon down that end, Kerry.

-They're out. -OK, get the ambos in.

Dennis, you wanna get on to Air Wing?

(WHISPERS) Oh...shit.

Dom, they've hit a uniform on their way out.

Send someone round to assist.

Yeah, we'll hand these guys over and then we're back on it, Kerry.

G'day.

Got an airway in?

LEON: (OVER RADIO) Confirmed sightings of two males with crossbows

heading north towards Cemetery Parade.

Copy that. Request Air Wing, canine.

KERRY: Yeah, it's on its way.

Heading there now.

What are you doing?

I saw something in their blog that rang a bell.

"Comrades in great achievement."

It's an epitaph.

Guys, check out the Burke and Wills memorial. It's on First Avenue.

-Copy that. -(READS) "Companions in death.

"Associates in renown."

I think they've misunderstood that, don't you?

Josh, you wanna get Shannon out of there now?

Yep, I'm on that.

We should engage.

We do a split cordon.

-You cover to that point over there. -Moving.

Dom, Michael.

Yeah, we're on our way.

MAN: (MUTTERS) No, he's gone.

He's gone.

JOSH: (OVER RADIO) Shannon, get one of the uniforms to drop you here.

I forgot to ask his name.

Don't worry about it, it's alright.

-(MEN ARGUE HEATEDLY) -In position.

-(SHOUTS) Police! Don't move! -Shit!

Put the weapon down.

Show me your hands.

Mate, you idiot. Why did you bring us here?

Do it now.

-Stell, coming to you. No weapon. -I'm on him.

Put it down now.

(GROANS)

(SHOUTS) Stop! Police!

Target's leaving the cemetery, heading west on McPherson.

Lawson's heading south.

Dom, Michael, head north along Gratton Street to intercept them.

(HORN BLARES, TYRES SCREECH)

DOMINIC: Are you right?

Number two. Good stuff. Dickhead.

LAWSON: No, I got them here.

-Hey, hey. -Yeah, I will.

-That was an illegal tackle. -Yeah, hang on.

Bullshit. That was a perfect tackle.

Push in the back - free kick.

Alright. Oi.

What were you two thinking?

-DOMINIC: Oh, the ear. -Er...Dom.

Just trying to help the guy out, you know.

The TR is blocking someone's driveway.

Oh, that.

Um...Constable Sandrelli, he was driving.

Huh?

You know you can get something for that.

What?

I'm OK.

It's an alcohol-based thing.

Oh, right.

The local's got a good selection.

Well, it has a lot of beer.

I like a lot of beer.

Let's go.
