[ Up-tempo Middle Eastern music plays ]

[ Tires screeching ]

Empty the till!

Give us the money!

Give us the money!

-Zane, give him the money. -Shut up!

Give us the money, or I´ll blow your brains out!

Shut up!

No.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Man chanting in Arabic ]

MAN ON RADIO: Armed holdup in progress,

Mason Street, Lakemba.

The two offenders are described as male,

Middle Eastern, around 160 centimeters tall,

one wearing a blue hooded jacket

I reckon that´s ours.

No, leave it. They´ll hear it.

Offenders were last seen on foot

on Mason Street heading south.

Hooded jacket, black backpack.

JOHNSON: Major crime 101, we´ve got two males.

One´s wearing a hooded jacket. One´s got a black backpack.

They´re on foot, headed north towards the railway station.

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Get down! Get down!

[ Indistinct shouting continues ]

Get down! Get on the ground! Now!

-Run! -Stop!

[ Gunshot ]

All cars, all cars, keep a lookout for two males

possibly armed with an automatic pistol,

Middle Eastern appearance, one wearing a blue jacket,

one carrying a black backpack.

These men are wanted in connection

to the shooting of an officer.

All officers to attend as soon as possible.

John, you all right? Are you hurt?

Still no system here, mate. Got nothing.

ZANE: Just start at the beginning, mate.

Did you I.D. these guys as the ones that did the armed rob?

-Yeah. -So, what happened?

We pulled them over, guns drawn,

and they started yelling at each other in Arabic.

-Were they armed? -I don´t know.

I don´t know. One of them ran away.

Mick chased after him,

and then the other one come at me sideways

and grabbed my gun and shot

-Mick in the back. -What happened to your gun?

Uh, he dropped it over there somewhere.

I´ll check it out.

Just take it easy, all right?

The ambos will take care of it. Yeah?

He´s dead.

Call on forensics.

Helen, these people around here, they witnesses?

-No. -Well, piss them off, will you?

-Lock the place down. -No worries.

We´ll work it out, all right? We´ll get them.

We´re gonna get these guys, all right?

Two males of Middle Eastern appearance

are now wanted for the murder of a police officer.

If persons of this description are seen,

stop and check ID.

Let go of me! What are you doing?

What´s wrong with you? What are you doing?

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

Stand there. Put your hands in the air.

Hands up. Hands up, mate.

You´ve got the wrong man. My father is a sheik.

-You cops have no respect. -Name?

I´m the Sheik Mohammed Al´Alwani.

Turn around.

-How´d his wife take it? -Not great.

Two kids, right?

Yeah, four and six.

Okay, now I´m sure we´re all pretty devastated

by what´s happened to Michael Johnson.

I think the best we can do right now

is focus on finding out the people who did this

and make sure no one else gets hurt.

Well, forensics are squared off on both crime scenes.

We got people doing door knocks,

recent jail releases and known gangsters in the area.

Stolen vehicle checks?

Servo said the two hoods left in a white VL Commodore,

but they were on foot when the shooting occurred.

WRIGHT: Okay. Find the stolen vehicle.

They wouldn´t have dumped it too far away.

We got to keep the pressure on.

Keep the pressure on to flush these people out.

Got a lot less chance of doing that

if we antagonize their community.

Two men have just murdered a police officer.

We´d like to find them.

So would I, but pulling over and searching

respectable Muslim leaders, it´s not gonna produce results.

What leaders are we talking about?

The Sheik Mohammed Al´Alwani along with his son --

He was driving an unregistered vehicle.

Oh, guilty then. He must have shot a cop.

Okay, well, look. Hang on. We´re all upset.

Let´s just try and stay levelheaded here.

Koa´s got surveillance footage

of the armed holdup at the petrol station.

If these are the guys that shot Johnson, we got them on tape.

They´ve got their hoods up, sunglasses. You can´t see a lot.

Then we get out there and work with the community

on finding these people.

What do you want to do, hand out flyers?

Talk to leaders, sheiks.

Yeah, okay, Malik, but we´re not pussyfooting around

with some politically correct public relations exercise.

We question everyone. We round up suspects.

We find these bastards as soon as we can.

Let´s get out there and talk to these people

before that prick kills our chances.

You should sleep together. Get it over and done with.

The man who was shot was quite young?

Yeah, 28.

Two kids. You heard anything?

Only they are looking for two men

of Middle Eastern appearance, whatever that is.

That´s you and me. Look at us.

-We could be twins, right? -That´s true.

It´s possible the shooting was linked

to some armed robberies happening in the area.

Whoever did this is not doing us any favor.

-That´s true. -I´ll do what I can.

Shukran.

[ Speaking Arabic ]

You reckon he´ll give us anything?

Anyone knows what´s going down in Lakemba, it´s him.

Yeah? How does he manage that?

He´s got one ear to God, man, one to everyone else.

[ Laughs ]

[ Siren wailing ]

CALLAS: It was right across the road here.

I go to the market.

Yeah, yeah, we´ve established that,

but you said you were back here by 9:00 a.m.

Yes.

Around 9:30, two young men chased by police,

running, running, and gunshot.

Yeah? Bang, bang, bang.

[ Speaking Arabic ]

Did you see anything or hear anything?

Okay.

Two young men about this high, baseball caps.

One has got a blue jacket, and one has got a backpack.

Okay, if you remember anyone who looks like this,

you give us a call, okay?

Thank you.

I think you should brush up on your Arabic.

Make more sense out of someone in the middle of Beirut.

[ Chuckles ]

EDWARD: This one.

This one here, "Robber Di Nero."

Robert De Niro?

Not Robert.

Robber Di Nero.

This one called this one Di Nero.

Did he have an accent?

His English not good. I think he´s Lebanese.

What´s the one with the gun say?

He said, "Give me the money!"

He just shouting the same,

pointing a gun, pointing right here.

So, what happened? Did you give him the money?

I didn´t want to die.

ZANE: Why do you think Talal was involved in the shooting?

SHEIK: Talal´s problem is too must testosterone.

He should open a sperm clinic and make some money out of it.

-Instead he causes trouble. -When did he go missing?

His parents said he left around 9:00 yesterday morning,

and he didn´t come home last night.

Does he carry a mobile?

Yes, it´s switched off. He didn´t attend Jumu´ah prayer.

-Okay. -His parents are very worried.

-Okay, I´ll talk to them. -They´re honest people.

This is a good starting point.

-[ Coins clink ] -Thank you.

Okay. The kid´s name is Talal Labban.

Let´s see if he´s got any form.

KOA: Yeah, thanks.

Disobeying a lawful direction,

public order incident in Villawood,

offensive language, assaulting police,

resisting arrest -- nothing serious.

He left for his tutorial at university.

And you haven´t seen him since?

He didn´t turn up for work at his uncle´s shop.

He didn´t come home to sleep, and his mobile is switched off.

Could he be staying with a mate, a girlfriend maybe?

No, he would call us.

We´ve tried contacting his friend Ali,

but he is missing also.

-Ali´s last name? -Hussein.

This is not like Talal. He would not just disappear.

No, I understand.

Is there something about his behavior that was worrying you?

[ Speaking Arabic ]

Mrs. Labban, what are you afraid of?

MR. LABBAN: We are afraid for our son.

It´s not safe for him and his friends

because they are Lebanese.

Please, Mr. Labban.

What are you afraid of?

The look in his eyes -- He was scared, very scared.

When?

Guys, I can´t help you out until you tell me everything.

-KOA: Mrs. Labban, please. -I´m gonna ask you again.

When was the last time you saw Talal?

He came back home.

I knew there was something wrong,

but he wouldn´t tell me what it was.

Whoa. Hang on a second.

I tried to make him stay. I told him we would help him.

-Did he say anything to you? -But he wouldn´t listen.

He told me he was in trouble. Big trouble.

Did he change his clothes?

All right. I´ll need to borrow those clothes, all right?

Why do you want his clothes?

ZANE: They´re gonna help us locate him.

I´m trying to help you find your son.

This shooting of the police officer yesterday,

you´re not saying that Talal was involved.

We just got to find Talal and ask him some questions.

My son goes missing, and now you think he´s a murderer?

That´s not what we´re saying.

Then why do you take his clothes?

We´ve got to ask him a few questions.

His clothes are gonna confirm

that he wasn´t involved in the shooting.

If he´s done nothing wrong, he´s got nothing to worry about.

I´m gonna need a list of all the people

that Talal hangs out with from you.

-My son is not a criminal. -I understand.

He studies hard.

He works for his uncle, you know,

and he tries to help the refugees.

I´m gonna do my best to find Talal, okay?

In the meantime, if he contacts you, you tell him to call me.

All right?

I´ll help him sort it out. All right?

[ Speaks Arabic ]

We´ll get these back to you as soon as we can.

I found a photo.

Talal Labban, 25 years, resident of Lakemba.

KOA: Print it.

We´ll need anything that you´ve got on his mate,

a Mr. Ali Hussein.

These need to be tested for gunshot residue.

Did you get a swab from the suspect?

Well, if we knew where he was, we would.

Have you checked with immigration they haven´t left?

Callas is onto it.

I´m organizing TIs on both the boys´ landlines and mobiles.

Talal is close to his family.

He won´t stay out of touch for long.

Get a list of his friends, extended family, associates,

anyone who could be harboring him.

Get a warrant, knock the places over.

Hang on, let´s be sure of the facts

before we start kicking in doors.

I´ll knock first before we go in.

We´ve got nothing on this kid. All we´ve got´s a suspicion.

He´s got priors and so has his mate.

What they were wearing matches Duff´s description.

Plus he pissed off from the site after the incident.

That doesn´t mean it was him.

His family think he´s involved. That´s good enough for me.

I said they´re worried about him.

Why wouldn´t they be worried about him?

He´s just killed a police officer.

We don´t know that.

You know what else they´re doing?

They´re hoping their mate on the inside might get him off.

You know what? They´re looking for someone to trust, Ray?

When Mick Johnson´s wife buries her husband on Wednesday,

there´s two kids without a father.

I want the bastard who killed him locked up.

-You think I don´t? -I got 48 hours.

That´s my deadline. What´s yours?

Twice they interview my son.

When did this happen? Did you see this?

-Just before 5:00. -Who did it?

-Some boys, kids. -How tall were they?

What were they wearing? Did you see?

Leave it, Zane.

I don´t want you making things worse.

Were they driving a car?

Your father has not had a shower in a week.

He says the water hurts.

This I can make disappear. I can repaint the wall.

But Rahman, I cannot make him the man he was.

-Do I smell? -Not yet, but you will.

Assalamu alaikum. How are you, Coach?

Alaikum salam. Why didn´t you answer your phone?

-I couldn´t. I´m sorry. -Bye, Dad.

I was worried it might be you. I saw the news.

-Did you attend the scene? -Yeah.

Don´t worry. I´m all right.

See you after soccer.

Baba, you got to shower. Let´s go.

Look, nothing up here, idiot. There´s nothing up here.

Baba, look, it takes 10 minutes to shower.

RAHMAN: And they think I´m brain-damaged. Heh.

ZANE: It takes 10 minutes to shower. Let´s go.

Rahman, please. Zane is only trying to help.

Oh, Zane got a tiger on one side and a bear on the other side.

He still think he gonna win. [ Laughs ]

Oh!

Ooh! Ooh!

That´s cold.

This hurts!

It hurts me!

Any excuse to make police power bigger.

It´s a police state.

A policeman was shot today.

I´m trying to find the man who did it.

What about the man who shot me? Who´s looking for him?

-I am. -[ Laughs ]

You´re a cop. You got no brains.

[ Singing in Arabic ]

[ Singing stops ]

[ Singing resumes ]

Pashley Street, Metcalf Drive.

This is the house of Talal Labban.

Hang on, hang on. Slow down, slow down.

Where are you?

Yeah, but where?

Talal, listen to me. Calm down.

You got to tell me where you are.

I can help you out,

but you´ve got to tell me exactly what happened.

No, Talal, we´ve got to ask you a few questions, that´s all.

I can talk to the cops for you. I am one.

Talal? [ Speaks Arabic ]

I just made contact with Talal Labban.

Where he is?

ZANE: He hung up when he realized I was a cop.

I guess his parents left that bit out.

-Did he give you anything? -He says two men jumped him.

They didn´t know they were cops.

"We yelled, ´Stop! Police!´ and drew our guns."

That´s Duff´s statement.

He got cold feet. He wants to talk.

Okay, he can do all the talking he wants in here.

CROWLEY: Listen, we´re not waiting around here

while you workshop this with all your buddy Arab mates.

Okay, he´s got 10 hours to make contact.

Otherwise, we go in at dawn.

Thank you.

All right. Let´s get on with it.

[ Mid-tempo Middle Eastern music plays ]

MAN: Phone line is isolated.

Perimeter is established.

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello?

-MAN #2: Ali Hussein? -Yeah.

This is the police negotiator.

As you can see, your house is surrounded by armed police.

There is no avenue for you to escape.

All the police that you can see

are here for the safety of those inside and outside the house.

ALI: Shit, man. What´s going on?

MAN: What I need you to do is follow my instructions,

and no one will get hurt.

Now, how many people are inside the house?

Three.

Fucking cops are here.

-What´s going on? -They´ve got machine guns.

Okay.

[ Beeps ]

The police are here. They want us to go outside.

What is going on? What do they want?

I don´t know.

-[ Speaking Arabic ] -[ Thudding ]

Don´t move!

-Don´t move! -Don´t move!

[ Speaking Arabic ]

Get your hands on your head! Move to the front door!

Police! Don´t move!

Hands on heads! Hands on heads!

-Come forward, miss! -Back to the front door.

Stand up.

-I haven´t done anything. -Move to the front door!

Move out now.

MAN #1: Yeah, that´s three in the first house,

five in the second house.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

MAN #2: How many were in the first house?

MAN #1: Three.

We´ve only got two. There´s still one inside.

Police, don´t move!

Police! On the ground!

Hands on your head!

Ahmed!

[ Shouts indistinctly ]

Ahmed!

Call an ambulance!

Ahmed!

Ahmed! [ Shouting in Arabic ]

Who secured the bloody street?

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Ahmed! Ahmed!

Look what you´ve just done!

[ Speaking Arabic ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

What the hell happened?

Kid panicked and ran.

Big men in black, pointing M4s and M5s.

Of course he panicked. Now he´s in ICU fighting for his life.

You want to know why he panicked and ran?

They´re illegal immigrants.

CALLAS: His mother couldn´t produce a Medicare card

at the hospital.

We called DIMA. Turns out they´re both illegal.

What are you saying?

He´s illegal, therefore he ran,

therefore he deserves what he got?

What I´m saying is the TOU boys did their job.

At least they´re clear about that.

You´re either an Arab, or you´re a cop.

We were about here when the car pulled up,

and two blokes jumped out.

CROWLEY: So why did you start running?

-We were late for a bus. -Which bus is that, mate?

-The 274 to Parramatta. -274 to Parramatta.

There´s one thing that doesn´t make sense to me.

You live on Hartford Street, but you just told us

you went to May Street to your mate´s place.

If you go down Perry and onto Bishop,

which takes you past the service station.

But you don´t go that. You go the long way around.

So what?

So why´d you go the long way around?

It´s just the way we went. It´s the way we always go.

How often do you do that?

Whenever we both have a 10:00 tutorial at uni.

Two young men fitting your description

held up that service station at 9:30 a.m.

ALI: I heard it on the news. It wasn´t us.

CROWLEY: 15 minutes before

you and your mate were first spotted.

I just told you. We didn´t go past the service station.

-We went the other way! -Let´s hear your version.

You´re running along here, and what happened?

A blue Toyota pulls up, and two guys jump out of it

and start coming at us with guns.

And we´re going, "Where´d they come from?"

-We didn´t know they were cops. -ZANE: Then what happened?

Well, Talal is screaming at me to run.

So I bolted this way, and I get to about here,

and I hear a gunshot.

And I turn around, and one of the guys are on the floor.

-One of who? -One of the cops.

Oh, come on, Ali. You didn´t know they were cops.

-You said so yourself. -How were we supposed to know?

They weren´t in uniforms. They didn´t have a police car.

I think when they said, "Stop! Police!"

that may have given you a bit of hint, eh?

They didn´t say "police."

Ali, tell us the truth, and we´ll work it out.

-But don´t lie. -Look, I´m not lying, okay?

They never said they were cops.

When someone comes out of a car

and has a gun and starts chasing you,

you´re not gonna stop and figure out who they are.

You´re gonna run, okay, like that kid the other day.

Yeah, mate, just a tip -- Stick the facts, will you?

-Where was the cop? -Where was he, buddy? Over here?

Was he over here?

ALI: Further back.

Further back? Was he over here, was he?

Yeah.

So you heard the shot, you turned around?

Where was Talal?

-He was running. -Where´d he go?

Come on, you´re mates, right? You must know where he is.

-Where is he? -I told you, I don´t know.

Well, I´ll tell you something.

Just a friendly little tip from me to you.

You better start thinking about it

because we´re not gonna leave you alone until you do.

Thanks for your assistance.

Ali, you´re not doing Talal any favors.

Are you sure you don´t know where he is?

I´m worried about him. His mum´s worried about him.

If he´s out there on his own, anything could happen.

Last time he got into trouble,

he went to his cousin´s at Penrith.

Okay? I tried calling there, but there was no answer.

Okay. Thanks. Let´s go.

Hey, don´t think they respect you, okay?

´Cause at the end of the day, you´re one of us.

And when you turn your back, they´re gonna do it to you.

Yeah. All right. [ Speaks Arabic ]

Talal´s cousin in Penrith says he hasn´t seem him,

but the gun he keeps in his shed is missing.

Great. So he could be armed.

Yeah.

How is he?

His arm is badly crushed, but they tell me he will survive.

Okay.

How about you? How are you?

They are sending us back.

Look, I might be able to get some legal help, all right?

I´ll make some inquiries. I´ll see what can be done.

Why do they do this to us?

Why does this happen to Ahmed?

He has hurt no one.

Curse this place.

I wish I had never set foot in this country.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Thunder rumbles ]

Can´t you sleep?

I´ve been waiting for you to come home.

Who are we versing this weekend?

Concord Warriors, isn´t it?

You thrashed them last time, 7-2.

[ Smooches ]

-Dad? -Yeah?

I don´t mind you kissing me at home,

but not at school and not at the game, okay?

Okay. Promise.

Come to bed.

They went in too soon.

Well, maybe you should be more careful what you tell them.

I´ve got to tell them what I know.

But always the minute you find out?

You give them every little tidbit the moment you get it

because you´re afraid they won´t trust you.

If I withhold anything and they find out,

they´ll never trust me again.

But you know how they´ll react.

It´s not dishonesty, Zane. It´s timing.

How´s the boy?

Alive.

But they´re sending him home.

Nothing like a bit of favorable PR.

-AMIR: What happened? -Never mind.

Young men behave like idiots.

They got nothing better to do, stir up more trouble.

-AMIR: What did they do? -They opened the furnace.

They get angry and behave like idiots.

AMINA: Grab your bags. I´ll drive you to school.

-I don´t want to drive. -Mummy, we want to walk.

Hurry up. I´ve got a meeting at 8:30.

I don´t want to be late.

You go, habibi. I´ll take them.

No way. I´m walking.

Amir.

AMIR: What? Everyone else walks. Why can´t I?

Because it´s not safe for you.

I don´t care. I´m not going in the car.

There you go. This look like you.

Sit down.

All right, have a good day, all right?

I´ll see you.

-Bye, Daddy! -Bye, Yassie.

Critical incident team´s coming through tomorrow.

We all need to be on the same page.

Well, there´s only one page to be on.

It was an accident.

Yeah, I know that, you know that,

but hindsight´s a powerful weapon.

The kid ran onto the road during an operation.

We all wish it hadn´t happened,

but it doesn´t make the decision to go in there wrong.

Yeah.

Oh, God, I must have managed a total of two hours last night.

Yeah, hot nights. No one´s sleeping.

Yeah, but it´s been weeks. I´ve tried everything.

I lie in bed thinking, if this goes on,

I´ll have to be carried off in a straitjacket.

Yeah, it eats a way at you, doesn´t it?

Well, how do you deal with it?

-You really want to know? -No, no, all right. Maybe not.

Anyway, any chance these guys get

to have me tipped back down to sergeant, they´re gonna use it.

Well, if you want to be commissioner,

you´ve just got to beat the bastards.

Oh, is that what I want, is it?

Yeah. But you won´t admit that until you´re there.

Well, if pigs ever fly, I´ll have you to thank.

Hey, Zane.

I thought you might like to know

we got a positive gunshot residue result

on the swabs off Talal Labban´s clothing.

We also got a positive on the swabs of John Duff.

-His clothing? -And his hands.

What´s up with Callas and Lim?

Callas had a call from an informant

who said that one of the Lakemba armed robberies last month

was done by a couple of Chileans.

These are the two men of Middle Eastern appearance?

Our service station attendant was pretty convinced

that they were Lebanese.

ZANE: Yeah, "Robber Di Nero."

He wouldn´t know the difference between Lebanese and Chinese.

Hey, "dinero." That´s Spanish for money, right?

-How would I know? -No, trust me, it is.

If these Chileans did do the stickup,

maybe that´s what they were saying --

get the dinero, get the money.

Which means when they pulled over Talal and Ali,

they had the wrong guys.

Maybe there´s no connection

between the robbery and the shooting.

Hey, John, how are you managing?

Must be tough, mate.

Anything I can do?

No, no. It´s all -- I think it´s all done.

Yeah.

Poor bastard.

You know Mick Johnson was godfather to his kids?

Jesus.

-When´s the funeral? -Ah, it´s Wednesday.

You allowed to go, are you?

What, to a Christian funeral? Yeah.

Same god, different name.

What, you think that someone

was looking out for old Mick Johnson?

You reckon there´s someone on the other side, do you?

There´s nothing there.

I want to go over some details with Duff.

CROWLEY: What for?

I have a few questions

in light of Ali Hussein´s statement yesterday.

Now, listen, he was thoroughly interviewed

by the critical incident team

two hours after the incident occurred.

I´ve read the statement. I´ve still got some questions.

-He´s been through enough. -I´ll make it quick.

You want to reinterview him, I´m gonna be there.

-He came at you from the side? -Yeah.

-How´d he get the gun? -Wrenched it out of my hand.

Before or after you fell to the ground?

DUFF: Ah, before.

He grabbed the gun and pushed me sideways.

OFFICER: So you were on the ground here.

And where was he when he fired the shot at Johnson?

DUFF: Here. He fired one shot.

Mick went down, and he ran that way.

What´d you do?

I picked up the gun and radioed for help.

ZANE: Let´s start again from where you pulled up.

You got out. Guns drawn?

-Yeah. -What´d you say?

Told them to stop, get on the ground.

How did you identify yourself?

Like I said in the first statement,

we yelled, "Stop! Police!"

The suspects say you didn´t say "police."

-Well, then they´re deaf. -Okay. Then what?

Then they start yelling at each other in Arabic,

and then one of them ran.

John, do you want to take a moment to consider

if you might have left something out?

What, you think I´m not telling you the truth?

No, I want you to be clear in your own mind

and tell me everything you remember.

Yeah, I left out the bit where my partner looks up at me,

bullet in his back, and tells me to look after his family.

John, the details on how you lost the gun,

how it was actually taken from you, they´re light.

The suspect´s denying that anyone took it from you at all.

DUFF: Don´t you think I´ve been over this

a thousand times in my head?

I don´t know.

One minute I´m pointing my gun at the bastard doing a bolt,

the next minute, the other one´s reefing it out of my hand.

Okay, so he grabbed it off you. Then what?

-He shot Mick in the back. -Then what?

-He ran. -What happened to the gun?

He dropped it five meters from me.

I wasn´t gonna leave it there.

All right, John. Thanks.

I didn´t know you were after a job with the toecutters.

You´d be a real pinup boy for I.A.

The GSR tests were positive on John Duff´s jacket and hands.

He was within a meter of the gunshot.

Well, that explains the jacket.

Could have got GSR when he reholstered the gun.

Ali was running when he heard the shot.

He turns around, Talal´s here.

He didn´t see a weapon in his hand.

Duff says Talal wrestled the gun from him, fired once, ran,

dropped the weapon, which is found here.

One of them´s got it wrong.

These are businesses. This is a school, right?

You want to tell me there were no witnesses?

Let´s get back out there.

We´ll talk to the residents, the teachers, the workers.

Someone must have seen something.

Let´s go, mate.

Thank you very much for your assistance, ladies.

-Ta. -What about this place?

Resident was approached. Said she saw nothing.

-Poor English, eh. -Oh, we´ll get over that.

Assalamu alaikum. [ Speaks Arabic ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Koa.

Talal Labban´s been sighted by a patrol car

near an industrial estate out at Canterbury.

Yeah, no worries, mate. Ta.

Malik.

Malik! We got to go, mate.

-He didn´t do it. -They´ve found him.

Who? Talal?

He´s armed. Shots have been fired.

You´re waiting for the negotiators, right?

Yeah.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Tires screech ]

-Zane! Zane! -Where´s he going?!

Where´s Crowley?

Bloody hell is he doing? Is he mad?

-Got to get him out of there. -Wait.

He´s got a witness. Suspect´s innocent.

The suspect is armed!

Talal! I want to help you, Talal.

Talal! I´m Zane Malik!

MAN: He´s behind the carriage. I want every angle covered.

TALAL: You´re a cop! Piss off!

ZANE: Talal! I spoke to your family, Talal.

-I spoke to your family. -Leave my family out of this!

They´re worried about you, Talal! They´re good people.

Your mum and your dad, they´re good people.

You´re not a criminal.

Get back, or I´ll blow your head off!

You get back now.

Shit!

What options have we got?

Suspect is still armed.

We have a possible hostage situation.

I didn´t fly a plane into the World Trade Tower either,

but I may as well have!

Because I´m an Arab! And Arabs are terrorists!

And murderers and liars.

You´re not with us.

They´ll never accept us, no matter what we do, mate.

Listen to me, all right?

I respect you, Talal. I respect you.

-But they -- they don´t! -Then fight for it, Talal!

You got to earn their respect, all right?

Prove to them that you deserve it.

You don´t get respect waving a gun around.

We have the go-ahead for lethal force if necessary.

You´re out there helping the refugees.

Huh?

Sheik Al´Alwani told me you got a high distinction at uni.

So what are you doing here, huh? You´re not a criminal.

Ali is not a criminal.

So why were they pointing guns at us, then?

They got you mixed up with someone else, all right?

Now tell me what happened. Talk to me. Talk to me.

Two guys jumped out of a car with guns.

All right. So, what´d you do?

A-Ali ran.

I-I turned and I saw one of them

was gonna shoot Ali in the back, so I...

So I -- So I pushed him, and then the gun went off,

and the man chasing Ali got copped in the back.

So you didn´t shoot anyone.

I didn´t shoot anyone.

I got a witness.

A woman -- an Arab woman -- all right?

She didn´t come forward ´cause her English isn´t very good,

but she´s agreed to testify.

All right?

Yeah.

No, no, no. They´re not gonna believe me.

-They´re not gonna believe -- -They´re gonna believe her.

If she testifies, they´re gonna believe her.

I´m not saying you´re in the clear,

but there´s a big difference

between pushing someone you didn´t know was a cop

and shooting someone with intent to kill.

All right?

I just want to help you, all right?

I just want to go home, man.

Give me the gun. We´ll sort it out.

-We´ll sort it out. -Okay.

-All right? -Can you take...

-I just want to go home. -All right.

[ Gunshot ]

Hold your fire!

Shit.

-Call an ambulance. -Hold your fire!

Stop!

-[ Sobs ] -Hang on, mate. Easy.

Hang on, mate.

TALAL: [ Moaning ]

Hang on. Ambulance is on its way.

Just hang on.

He didn´t shoot anyone.

Duff shot Johnson.

[ Siren wailing ]

CROWLEY: You lied.

Why?

I didn´t lie.

It all happened so fast, I didn´t know w--

I didn´t -- well, I wasn´t sure.

No, you weren´t sure.

But the moment you remember,

the memory that´s gonna stick in your gut

and keep you awake at night

is when you looked down and you saw the gun in your hand...

...and you just tossed it on the ground.

´Cause that´s how it happened, isn´t it?

There´s no CPR.

You didn´t try and save your partner´s life.

You just stood there.

And you were trying to figure out what was worse --

having to admit you accidentally shot your partner...

...or sustaining a lie that´s gonna haunt you

for the rest of your life.

´Cause you see, John,

it´s not just your word against some Arab kid now.

Now we´ve got a witness.

He -- He pushed me.

And w-when I tried to regain my balance...

...my finger must have squeezed the trigger and...

It was an accident.

Of course it was an accident.

Of course it was an accident.

But by covering it up, you´ve perverted the course of justice.

There´ll be an I.A. investigation

and you could go to jail.

And you should go to jail.

[ Muezzin calling ]

[ Slow Middle Eastern music plays ]

-Um, I´ll meet you at the car. -Yeah.

John Duff´s making a second statement.

So one thing´s for sure, his career´s finished.

Yeah? Well, at least he´s still alive.

Jesus.

Look, if you had waited for the police negotiator,

that boy still might be here.

He was cornered like an animal with nothing to lose.

He needed to know he had a chance.

Well, I´ll tell you what I´ll do for you.

Next time you want to pull a stunt like that,

play the hero, charge in, I won´t try and save your life.

I´ll let your head get blown off.

You´re a murdering bastard.

And you´re a mad Arab.

And I am gonna do you.

ZANE: [ Speaking Arabic ]

[ Glass clinking ]

[ Sighs ]

He can´t even get himself a glass of milk anymore.

But someday, the person who did this to him will die

and have to face what he´s done.

I want him forced to face what he´s done in this life.
