It's just an argument mate, people argue!

Yeah people argue and neighbors call the cops!

Now are you alright?

Do you want me to charge your husband with assault?

No.

Cus I can fix that for you if you like.

No, it won't help.

Then people have disagreements.

But I would've thought,

as parents you have an obligation to do better than this,

wouldn't ya say?

Yeah?

Now is this finished?

Is it finished!

Good.

Cus I don't wanna have to come back here again, understand?

(sighs)

Aren't we gonna arrest him?

to this address, please.

Yep, confirming there's no priors at that address.

Thanks mate.

Come on Stell, let's go.

You didn't wreck that shoulder, did ya?

No, no way, I'm good.

[Leon] Ah Lawson, there's someone here to see you.

What does he look like?

He looks like a woman.

What?

He's an inspector isn't he?

How would I know?

She's in civies.

Hey Lawson, that chick's bending you up for him.

- She's pissed off a bit. - Yeah don't worry!

I'll fix it, I'll fix it.

Tough guy.

We had an incident, so I hope I haven't kept you too long.

Yeah you have as a matter of fact.

I was expecting you a lot earlier.

Yeah sorry, got held up.

I was lucky I didn't leave a job to get here, then.

Who's that dickhead intel officer you've got downstairs?

Dickhead?

Is that official?

Oh please.

You got any good coffee around here?

Sure.

I just don't get it, is she supposed to be the new boss?

Discharge, what kind of discharge?

Well it's been fine the last few months,

why do we need anyone?

Well it was always gonna happen.

[Grace] Why can't they leave us alone to do our job?

I don't want to wait to Tuesday,

you just call her up and you just say I'm gonna come in.

Don't worry about it, Lawson'll sort it out.

Yeah, my ass.

[Lawson] Well they know me, I put them together.

[Kerry] So?

Alright, since we've been operational

police shootings are down by half.

Lethal situations in general are way down,

we're on the road 24 hours a day,

better trained to deal with situations...

Yeah yeah yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa, yeah.

Statistics, yeah I know I'm backwards.

They're good, they're really good.

But I'm here aren't I?

[Lawson] Why?

We think you can do better.

And when you say "we" you mean police admin?

Yeah I do.

Right so you're Head Office.

Fine, fine.

I can deal with that.

Wonderful.

This coffee is shit by the way.

Oh you be my guest, you're in charge of coffee.

Sorry?

Look, let's get this out from first bounce okay.

(suspenseful music)

Sit down please, Sir.

(yelling)

It's over, she's dead isn't she!

[Dom] Sit down, now I order you

Stay there.

Still.

[Officer] What did ya hit?

Don't you worry about what I hit,

Yeah well I gotta fill in a report

before I can do that.

I gotta put into the computer and everything...

Just get us a new car and send me the paperwork okay?

I can't, I'm sorry.

You have to fill in report

and it has to go to the Vehicle Incident Tribunal.

There's no way I can put you in another vehicle today.

I'm serious, it's impossible!

What's the latest?

A nightmare.

[Grace] Sorta day.

[Inspector] Josh!

[Josh] How long you been in MCU?

Keep up pal, and I got married.

Not to that chick from the...

Choose your next words very carefully.

Good luck with that.

Yeah I've got a couple of questions.

How long after he went over did you guys arrive?

[Josh] No way of telling exactly.

[Grace] Four and 1/2 minutes after we got it from D-24.

Alright told on your running sheet?

[Josh] Yeah?

Right and when you got here, what'd you see?

Car down there and him coming up from it.

Yeah but what was he actually doing?

[Grace] What do you mean?

Same?

Yeah I went back 200 meters.

What?

Well there's no skid marks.

No braking.

Alright just get a couple more

of the skid mark through there.

What do you think?

[Grace] I don't get paid enough to think.

I'll drive.

[Kerry] And they contact you direct?

Not exactly.

[Kerry] Well why not, aren't they supposed to?

Well they contact the vehicles direct,

and I pick it up then.

Plus I get it off the top from the LACs.

[Kerry] Is that every LAC?

Yeah.

[Lawson] This is Senior Sergeant Lawson Blake

- returning your call. - Hey Lawson?

I've got a question for you.

Why didn't you secure the car before you went in?

- Can you hold on? - Do they have

front winches in the cars?

No.

Well why not?

[Lawson] We're not a rescue squad, we're cops.

Yes, yes.

Why don't you have front winches on the cars?

Can I call you back?

Thank you. (hangs up phone)

We do what we can.

This was an unusual situation.

Oh, as opposed to a usual situation.

Were they following protocol when they went down?

Look what is this!

They'll be debriefed when they get back,

you can be there if you like.

Or not.

Just trying to understand procedures here, Sergeant.

Back in a tic.

I'm coming with you.

One minute.

(somber music)

What's he doing in there?

God knows.

Littlest girl's just fine.

We've only got her in tonight for observation.

The older one,

is not good.

She's in a coma, and her CT scan's poor so,

we won't know for a few days.

I heard what you did.

Can I see them?

Yeah, come through.

Thank you.

I'm sure she'll be okay.

Where's your husband?

Is he alright?

Things have been really awful.

I got custody and he just, changed.

We had a fight this morning when he came to pick em up.

And after the police left, he kept saying he would show me.

I'll show you, I'll show you.

Then he just went crazy screaming,

and he just grabbed the kids. (sobbing)

(suspenseful music)

Leave me alone.

Mr Chalker at the cliff you said something to my colleague

like I'm damned, I did it.

Did what?

They're my kids, my kids.

Why didn't you answer when we first asked

if there was anyone else in the car?

Go away.

Hey!

Come on.

I'm gonna ask this once.

Did you or did you not brake?

Why were there no skid marks on the road,

eh you wanna tell me that?

I love those girls too much!

(punch landing)

Get up, come on, get up, get up!

Excuse me.

(Josh yelling)

(Leon typing)

Camera, get it off!

(grunting)

You idiot!

Get back!

Get back! Get back!

Can you stand up, stand up.

- Stand up for me, stand up. - I did it.

Michael get him out of here.

Stand up.

Alright, come on.

Get up, we're gonna get you upstairs and get you cleaned up.

Okay?

I did it.

That's it!

That is your career Josh!

Do you realize that!

All he has to say one word!

One word, and you're toast!

You heard the forensics guys,

he tried to drive his kids over a cliff.

There were no skid marks, you saw that!

I did that but I'm smart enough to know

that they do their job Josh, and we do ours.

You are a cop, so here's how it works!

We arrest people, judges decide if they're guilty.

That's how it supposed to to happen!

It's the cosmology, Josh!

Two little kids!

Okay because he was pissed off at his wife!

What is wrong with you!

What you don't think he did it?

You're a dead man.

- You are a dead man. - Answer the question!

If this gets out, see ya later!

Mr Chalker, you'll have to make a full report,

I'll come with you.

I'm going home.

I'm sorry, there's police procedures

in a situation like this.

Yeah?

And,

and what kind of police are you anyway?

Sir.

I have to ask you if you'd like

to make an official complaint against the Sergeant.

I just want to go home.

(sighs)

(thoughtful music)

[Michael] Let's go.

[Grace] Where is he?

He took off.

He took off?

Yeah.

What?

I'm on your side, I'm on your side.

Then stop having a go at me because I can't,

I can't change what I did!

[Grace] You're the one with the attitude about it

and you don't want to accept!

Hey.

What's going on?

Josh beat the crap out of the father.

Tell me you're joking.

No.

Oh for, what do you bloody think this is, the 70s?

Is he alright?

I don't know, I don't really care, what about the kids?

Are they alright?

Mate if you want to, if you want to smash people,

you're in the wrong squad alright?

- Give me a lecture? - Josh shut up.

The guy did it on purpose.

I don't care what he did!

It's about you and your actions

now putting this whole outfit on the bloody line!

Oh well kick me out then.

Oh that's it hero!

You walk away and leave the rest of us to deal with it!

It's an operational matter, I'm looking into it.

Hey, hey hey hey.

Tell me what's going on or I'll do my own investigation okay

and I'm good at it.

Fine, fine let's see what we both turn up.

Constable Sandrelli?

[Michael] Yeah?

Can I have a word with you please?

Yeah.

Were you in the same vehicle today as Sergeant Joshua?

Not to start with, we swapped cars.

Hey, hey!

Two seconds.

But after the cliff incident,

you were in the vehicle with him?

The cliff, yes.

Where did you go?

After the rescue and before you came back here?

Listen, I rarely ask a question

I don't know an answer to okay?

(groans)

I just grabbed by that new woman.

I thought she was gonna start pulling my fingernails out.

[Dom] How'd that go?

Oh she's on the war path about Josh.

You didn't tell her anything?

Alright come on, what do you think I am?

I just wanted to say,

my incident report, I've put it all in, everything.

[Josh] So did I.

Why?

It's what happened.

I wish Lawson hadn't seen us.

And I wish I hadn't yelled at you,

and we could've kept this on the quiet.

It's all your bloody fault.

Josh you know what Lawson's like.

He's a protocol keeper,

he's gonna do everything by the book.

Yeah.

So he should, I guess?

What is it with you?

Right.

Okay Josh.

This goes against every bloody thing I believe in but,

this what we're gonna do.

(sirens wailing)

Left here.

Hard left, yep.

(sirens wailing)

Just over here.

Alright what happened?

He just came out of no where.

He's gonna kill someone.

We got report of a weapon.

Yeah, it looked like a machete.

Alright Stell can you go back over there,

- and I'll go down here. - Yep.

Yeah, Leon?

There's been two more triple O calls from where you are.

It's some big guy who's gone off his trolley

around the corner from you in Market Street.

The weapon is a...

A machete yeah, we've got that.

- Stell, Market Street. - Market Street!

Alright, stay!

Stay.

What am I, a sheep dog?

Just hold on, the ambulance will be here soon.

I'm gonna go through here.

Yeah, cross over.

(suspenseful music)

(screaming)

Guys he's here, he's at the car!

(cocks rifle)

Just stop there!

Don't, police!

Just stop there!

Just put down the weapon!

Put it down and put your hands away from your body.

Just stop there!

(gunshot fires)

(grunts)

Stay down mate, just stay down!

Guys, I got him, he's down!

(gasping)

You okay mate?

I don't know about you.

Oh you did what you had to do.

Eh?

Tell Silvia she can have my stuff.

[Michael] What are you talking about?

All my stuff!

Oh god.

I see (panting) I see the light.

Mate you're not dead!

But you shot me!

Get on your feet, you big pussy.

That's what got ya, a bloody beanbag.

(groaning)

You mean I'm alright?

I'm okay?

Oh man, I need to get another job.

Grace.

G'day, Kerry Vincent.

We'll be see a bit of each other.

So you're taking over TR?

Yeah.

At the incident today, did you notice anything unusual?

Which incident?

The cliff incident.

Yeah.

Sergeant Joshua risked his life today.

And two kids are alive because of him.

[Kerry] And at the hospital afterwards,

what were you up to?

I waited in the car, with Constable Sandrelli.

Waited?

What were you waiting for?

Now you look after yourself.

You look after my knife.

Yeah it'll be at the local cop's, how's that?

Hey nicely done.

I'm not staying with the vehicle again, it's killing me!

Oh suck it up, Princess.

No, we should've arrested him!

Oh and charged him with what?

He didn't hurt anyone except himself.

Possession of dangerous article, reckless injury.

Bad taste in clothes.

No it's not a joke!

Unlawful assault!

And who does that help?

He'll get back on his pills, be a model citizen for a while.

And tell his mum all about the crazy prick who shot him.

(laughing)

(typing)

Lapel cameras.

Yeah?

Just get em all up for me will ya?

Oh, say please.

[Lawson] Just do it.

I don't think you've ever said please to me before.

Right, so where do you keep all this?

Is it all digitalized somewhere?

Digitalized, yeah you might say that.

And what if you were to get rid of it?

If you were to get rid of it,

or if I was to get rid of it?

What if I wanted to blank the bloody lot?

Okay, right.

[Kerry] Hey wait, wait, wait.

Are you, looking for me?

Not anymore.

Do you mind if I have a look at this?

Sure.

Just let it roll, yeah?

Well whose camera's this?

[Leon] Josh's.

(suspenseful music)

[Kerry] Okay, next.

[Leon] It's Grace's.

Alright.

Okay, the last one.

(sighs)

Could you just hold it there?

She told me she waited in the vehicle,

is that what she told you?

Oh don't answer it, just keep it going then.

Now freeze, freeze.

Oh shit!

Well it's your move.

See ya guys.

See ya.

Good on ya.

[Josh] Eh?

Nice.

I would've done it too.

Yeah.

Lawson's fighting above his weight with that chick.

Just between you and me,

I reckon she's gonna wipe the floor with him.

You listen to me, you muppet.

In 1000 years you'll never be as good Lawson Blake.

And don't ever talk shit about him again.

[Michael] Sure, yeah.

Good.

So why are you a cop?

Cus I come from a family that knows about...

It was a rhetorical question.

I'll answer it anyway!

I'm a cop the same reason you are.

Oh yeah, and why's that?

Cus I like fast cars!

I don't think this is gonna work out.

Whatever.

(thoughtful music)

I'm so sorry, Josh.

What'll you do?

Where would you go?

Dunno, you want to come?

Why did you do it?

Do you want want to tell me?

[Josh] Do you want to have a drink?

I'm getting picked up.

Can you call him?

Hey Grace, sorry I'm late.

Hey Joshua.

Hey Connor.

You ready?

Hey we're going for tapas, you should come.

Oh I'll pass.

[Grace] Hi!

(kissing)

Come on we'll get pissed on sangria just the three of us.

Oh maybe next time.

Have a good one.

See ya.

See ya.

[Grace] How are yous?

I'm good, how are you?

Let's go.

(grunting)

You realize that they consumption of alcohol's

strictly prohibited on this place?

Yeah.

So I understand.

I'm here whether you like it or not,

you know that, don't you Lawson?

Just strap yourself in.

[Kerry] What's your plan for Sergeant Joshua?

Well I was thinking about a bravery commendation,

what do you think?

Well, Senior Constable Barry went down as well,

what do you reckon about one for her?

I had a check at the computers.

Incident reports at the hospital are nowhere to be seen.

Nicely spotted.

Forensics is gonna be all over that car in the morning.

There's gonna be a CAT scan on that little girl.

Forensics probably'll find out that the brakes failed.

CAT scan'll probably find out that little one just,

already dead, who knows?

I don't know if their dad's guilty or not,

I don't really care.

But what we do know is that I could have

Sergeant Joshua's balls, all three of them,

officially ripped off for what he did.

(sighs)

Then you go for it.

(scoffs)

I don't think so.

I've had a bit of a rough day.

Beside there's plenty of time.

He'll stuff something up, his type always do.

Who the hell are you?

I'm God.

So you lot better start believing.

(triumphant music)
