All language subtitles for City Homicide s04e08 In Harms Way.eng

OK, ready? Go. Go!
Rolling! Rolling!

Today is the day that that man -
Ivan Bosnich - will always remember,

because three years ago,
his son was brutally bashed to death.

Any minute, the murderer is due.

In fact, in that taxi is Ashley
Carey, the man who murdered his son.

Now Ivan Bosnich
will stand face to face

and offer an apprenticeship
to this convicted killer.

(REPORTERS YELL QUESTIONS)

G'day.

Mr Bosnich, why did you do that?

This is an opportunity
for these men to try and move on.

The savage attack that took
the life of Aaron Bosnich

is just one example of the violence
that's plaguing Melbourne's streets.

Look, street violence
is a fact of life

in every major city in the world

and Melbourne, unfortunately,
is no exception.

We're constantly examining
and implementing

strategic alternatives.

We all need to step up
to the plate here.

The entertainment venues, yes,

but parents of young people have to
assume responsibility as well.

We need societal change.

Dawn breaks, and three more young
men have lost their lives

in a brutal street shooting.

Melbourne's plague of violence
seems unstoppable.

REPORTER: This area is a known
crime hotspot...

(REPORTERS SPEAK AT ONCE)

So what happened
in the brutal street shooting?

No, no.
Please.

Hey, Detective, Detective,
do you know...

Yeah, OK, I'll get back to you.
Maggots.

See this?

If someone kicked your son to death,
would you be giving him a job?

This'll stir the pot even further.

So that's why you're here, Terry?

No, I'm here because Commander
Waverley called me at bum crack

and told me to get
my arse down here.

I preferred it when she was
fielding for you, Stan.

Yeah, well, she has been getting
hammered on street violence,

and this is gonna put the spotlight
fair and square right on her.

Look at this. If this is street violence,
I must be going soft, Stan.

Looks more like an execution.
(PHONES RING)

Yeah? Sure.

Well, if you get down here
straightaway, it'll be appreciated.

..this city is out of control.

Once more the question must be asked.

Do we have the confidence
in our police to solve the problem?

(REPORTERS TALK AT ONCE)
Detective Buchanan.

Do you have anything to say
on the current threat of violence

that's plaguing Melbourne's streets?

(MUTTERS) Bloody vultures.

(SIRENS WAIL,
POLICE RADIO CHATTER)

Touch nothing.
This is still a hot scene.

Uniforms got the call,
what, two hours ago?

DUNCAN: Yeah, shots fired.

What have you got for us, Ronnie?
All aged early 20s.

And dressed to party.

All died slightly differently.

This one took a hit
at very close range, gut shot,

then a second shot to the chest.

This guy over here
was hit in the back.

Running away, probably.

His other mate was brought down
by one in the leg.

He hit his head hard on the pillar.

The shooter cured the headache

with a close-range shot
to the temple.

Finished him off.
Emphatically.

(WHISTLES SHARPLY)

OK, three blokes dead. Why?

Who were they? Crank it up.
What have we got?

We've got more blood at
a secondary scene on the corner.

Lone shooter, gang killing, what?

It's hard to tell. I've only got
one type of casing. it's a .32.

OK, up on the other corner,
fourth victim who got away?

The shooter maybe.

Although it could be
from an unrelated bashing.

This is one of Command's
designated hot spots.

OK. What happened to
the additional resources?

They're at another hot spot.
Yeah. Sticking their finger in a dyke.

Whomever's blood it is, they're most
likely looking for medical attention.

So...
Hospitals, medical centres.

Should check nightclubs too.

A lot of the kids have got pass-out
stamps on the back of their hands.

It's a little blue hammer.
Actually, they're icepicks.

20 Below - cheap vodka, crap music.
it's just around the block.

MATT: Austin Searle, Cain Dunning
and their mate Nabil Bey.

All three have priors
for serious assaults.

Street kickings, a glassing.

These two were currently
on bail prior to sentencing

for putting a young backpacker
in a coma.

In short, piss-head thugs
looking for trouble.

Beau Roberts, early 20s.

He matches a description we got
from the emergency department.

Wound to the calf. False name.
Took off after treatment.

Looks like our fourth victim.
The one that got away.

This is his driver's license photo.
DUNCAN: He's not on our files.

We actually got a lead on him
from the bouncer at the club.

He said the kid looked like trouble.

Asked him for ID when he turned up
there three weeks ago.

The bouncer remembered his name?
No.

No -the first time Beau was there,
they had to call the cops

because he got drunk
and smashed up a toilet.

Patrol took his name but
released him with a caution.

Oh, what, so he could progress from
smashing toilets to kicking heads?

The bouncer said
the three other guys,

they rock into the club a couple of times
a month, cause strife, get kicked out.

What, and they still let 'em in?
Classy joint.

So we know the three victims
were there last night, right?

They left under their own steam
to mix it up somewhere else.

And Beau was with them?
JEN: Yep.

This time they bit off
more than they could chew.

You've got an address
for their new friend.

Pull him in, find out.

Beau Roberts?
Oh, yeah, 28.

Yeah, nice try, Beau.

Let me go. I haven't done nothing.
Calm down.

Too slow, mate.

Got a sore leg, have you?

Fell on some broken glass. So what?
it's a terrible thing, littering.

Doctor at the emergency department
said he thought it was a bullet wound.

Can I sit down?
You can sit down at the station.

The doc can come in,
have a dig around,

see if he can find any broken glass.

OK, OK.

Some dickhead took a shot at me.
OK.

Can I sit down?
Go ahead.

Put a crease
in the back of my leg here.

Had to get the doc to see to it.
What's wrong with that?

You got a description for us?
Of the doctor?

The shooter, Beau.

Oh, nah. We were just walking
to the taxi rank.

He comes out of nowhere
and starts shooting.

You see, that is just not true.
Yes, it is.

Come on, we've seen
your mates' records.

They tried to attack someone
again, didn't they?

But this person
got the better of them.

You ran straightaway,

otherwise you'd have lost
more than a piece of your leg.

You, Beau, are still a witness, and
this person knows that you saw him,

so you need to tell us what happened.

Or he might come for you
and then it's bye-bye Beau.

Alright, alright.

He was flashing his wallet around
at the ATM, counting his money.

And?

He looked like he was asking for it.

Aus and the other guy go to bounce
him but suddenly he pulls a gun.

What did he look like?
I was looking at the gun!

Oh, come on! You've gotta have
something for us.

Tallish. White cap, loose coat.

I don't know.
Mr Ordinary, just like you.

Too easy,
till he pulls the hardware.

Ask Austin and Cain,
they were closer.

Yeah, well, I've got
some information for you, Beau.

Your mates are dead, all three.

He killed them.

Time to make a statement, Beau.

All their blood results show
a high concentration of alcohol

and a full-leaded cocktail
of party drugs.

So-called.

Surprise, surprise, they were high,
drunk and ready to go.

Until they were stopped
in their tracks.

We'll autopsy tonight.
Families are doing IDs.

Whatever they've done,
they're still somebody's kids.

These our street shooting victims?
Yeah.

Commander Waverley's
asked for my support

so if there's anything
you wanna handball to me?

I reckon a psych profile
on the killer

and the victims too would be good.

Whatever's needed.

So, do we have any theory
on what we're dealing with?

Looks like a bunch of young thugs

and someone who thinks he gave them
exactly what they deserve.

Were they targeted?
JEN: We don't know.

There's still a possibility it was
just an opportunistic thrill killing.

Or just someone who doesn't
take kindly to being mugged.

Could be revenge - someone
who's been their victim in the past.

What about that backpacker kid
that was attacked by those two?

They put him in a coma. That's how
his parents took him home to Canada.

So I think you can count them out.

Maybe we won't find out what motivated
the shooter until we catch him.

We won't catch him
until we work out why he did it.

Look at this. The media's
already having a go at us.

Police have no leads

on the slaying of three young men
early this morning.

Distressed parents of the victims
have criticised the investigation,

saying police have been too slow
to act on violence in the city.

The question is now being asked -

are the police powerless
to stop the carnage in our streets?

Puss, puss, puss, puss.
Chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.

Hey, ladies! How you going?
YOUNG MAN: Yeah, shake it.

(YOUNG MAN IMITATES CAT)
Come here. Come here.

Whoo!

Just give us the wallet, man.
MAN: OK, OK, fine.

Hurry up.
Come on!

Be quick. Come on.
MAN: I'll give it to you.

Don't hurt me.
Then hurry up.

MAN: Take it easy.
Come on!

I'll give it to you...
(BANG!)

(YOUNG MAN SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS)

(BANG-! BANG-!)

(BANG!)
(CONTINUES SCREAMING)

(KEY JANGLES IN LOCK)

(DOOR UNLOCKS)

WOMAN: William?

William?

Yeah?

You finished your work?
(TURNS ON TV) Yep.

Ready for tea?
Yeah.

REPORTER: Ashley Carey
was recently released from jail

after serving three years
for the manslaughter

of Ivan Bosnich's son, Aaron.

There have to be people wondering
why and indeed how you can do this.

Look, we all know how much violence
there is out there

but not many of us know personally

how that violence affects
the families and friends of victims.

I do.

But to offer
your son's killer a job?

Well, I'm not just giving him a job,
I'm giving him a fresh start.

That's something your son
will never have, isn't it?

Mapplethorpe.

This stance has cost you
your marriage as well, hasn't it?

Moving forward is hard,
but, you know,

it's time that
someone stood up and showed

that the answer to violence isn't
always hatred and condemnation.

There are families of
other victims out there

who wouldn't agree with that.

Some would say that this teaches
violent offenders

that there will be no punishment-

in fact, they get rewarded
with a job.

Hey, Nick, we've got
another call-out.

IVAN: Hatred's not gonna
bring my son back, is it?

And there's an opportunity here
through conciliation

to turn this man around,

you know, to use what
Ashley Carey did to my son

to help educate and change
other young men

who might have otherwise
committed similar crimes.

I mean, that's what this is about.

Ronnie. Same kind of firearm?

Looks like it- .32.

How many shots?

This one, gut shot
and one to the head.

The other kid copped one through
the back, must have clipped his heart.

All close range?
Yeah. Maybe a struggle too.

This fella's got a flash burn
on his wrist as well

so I'm thinking maybe he grabbed
the barrel of the gun.

Placings on the ground.
Plenty of similarities.

Another runner too.

Crime Scene found another couple
of bullets down there.

Someone got away?

Probably the same guy
who called Triple-0.

Got a witness for you - guy at
the service station down the road.

What did he see?

Young Asian male running like hell,
jumped into a car taking off

not long after the shots.

Got a make, colour?
Better.

We got a rego.

So, where have you been
all night, Anh?

Out. Clubbing.

It's called having a good time.

Pretty cold, my friend,

considering you just watched
two of your mates get shot up.

Nah, not me.
JEN: Yeah, right.

Lee and Tran were killed
in the underpass last night

and you were seen fleeing the scene.

Wasn't me.

Because if I was there
and someone went for my mates,

I would mess them up.

(SCOFFS)

YOUNG MAN ON RECORDING:
Some guys got shot, shot bad.

MAN ON RECORDING: OK. Where?

The underpass by the river
near the casino. They're hurt bad.

Can you give me a precise location?

Get an ambulance there!
They need an ambulance!

(PHONE ON RECORDING
DISCONNECTS)

You still maintain that's not you?
Not me.

Mate, we checked your mobile phone
records, so don't bother lying to us.

You're wasting our time. We could be
investigating your mates' murder.

OK, Anh, we'll tell you
what we think happened

and you just nod
when you can be bothered.

MATT: You, Lee and Tran
cruise that underpass,

park your car down the road
and go looking for targets.

You thought you'd found a soft one.

JEN: A man flashing
his wallet around.

That's a nod.

So you made a move on him.

Except he pulled a gun on you, right?
And now your mates are dead.

He wanted you to go for him. You did
exactly what he knew you would do.

He was waving his money round.

We went over to tell him
he was being dumb.

Yeah, right.

And the knife and the machete
that your mates dropped,

they just fell out of their pockets?!

What did the man look like?
You must have seen him.

There was plenty of light there.
I don't know. He was just a guy.

You people all look the same.
(LAUGHS)

Around that underpass is another
hot spot for violent crime.

There's been three bashings and two
stabbings in the last four months.

So you think this shooting's
a match for our multiple?

Dead ringer - same weapon,
matching bullets

and the victims all had
records of violence too.

Lee, Tran and their mate Anh
were the ones

that bashed that guy on his bucks night
outside the casino.

Bloke had to go to his own wedding
with a broken jaw.

They were all convicted of assault
but only served nine months each.

That bucks bashing got
a lot of media coverage,

as did the backpacker one.

That's how he picks them.

He follows the story and then he
becomes judge, jury and executioner.

Or someone who kills for fun,

a sociopath who likes to think
they can justify their murders?

That's also possible.

Some serial killers
will keep offending

because they target victims who
they think are acceptable to kill.

But it's equally possible that
our Mr Ordinary is exactly that -

just an ordinary guy who's been
tipped over the edge.

Understandably.

He uses the same procedure - stands
on his own, flashing his wallet around.

A Judas goat.
A what?

A goat that they tether out
in the open to lure predators.

So this guy deliberately
puts himself into harm's way -

he is the bait and the hunter.

So we have an avenger
on our streets?

We just need to work out
what or who he's avenging.

So we need to be looking at
victims of street assault

over the last, say,
I don't know, four years?

NICK: That's a lot of assaults.

I think we could
cut that down, though.

This is a pretty extreme response

and that indicates
an extreme catalyst.

I'd be looking at bashings
that resulted in death.

TALKBACK HOST: In the studio
we have Commander Bernice Waverley

taking your calls on the rising tide
of violence on Melbourne's streets.

Are police doing enough?
Jo from Wantirna has a suggestion.

CALLER: Ah, yeah, well, for starters
they should lock them up.

You know, how are these young blokes
meant to change their behaviour

if all they ever get
is a slap on the wrist?

BERNICE: Well, I do understand
your frustration, Jo,

but sentencing, as you'd be aware,
is not up to the police.

What we can do and are doing

is focusing our resources
on prevention strategies.

But it takes time to get results.
TALKBACK HOST: Carolyn.

WOMAN: Yeah, I just wanna say that

I think all this prevention stuff
is rubbish!

You know, our children are getting
gunned down on the street!

I'm talking about those poor boys.

TALKBACK HOST:
That's a good point, Carolyn.

There's been another shooting
just yesterday.

The community is now up in arms.
Maybe it's time WE took up arms.

BERNICE: Oh, that's ridiculous, Noel.

That's sensationalist spin
and you know it.

TALKBACK HOST: So, you're willing to
give your personal guarantee of safety

to anybody heading out
on Melbourne's streets tonight?

NICK: In eight of these cases,

the attackers will still be in jail
in five years time.

ALLIE: We can cross this guy off.
He's already been avenged.

Killer got zero jail time,

just a slap on the wrist
and a suspended sentence.

And then?

Victim's brother ran him down
with his car.

He got heaps of jail time - 10 years.

Well, stands to reason -
it was premeditated.

Like Claudia said, the extreme
nature of these current attacks,

it makes sense to
pull this list down further.

OK, these nine all killed

and all the killers
bargained down to manslaughter

and all could have been considered to
have been light sentences.

So any of these nine

could have spawned some kind of
vigilante scenario.

So we start with them.

We need to talk to all close
relatives of those victims,

prioritising males, middle-aged.

Hey! Hey, that's a 24-hour clearway.
I won't be long.

Yeah, well, you're gonna
have to shift it, mate.

I got a question for you.
Oh, right. A journo.

Hey, look, I told the others,
I can't talk, Kerry can't talk.

We've done an exclusive deal with
the Sunday paper. Just read it there.

I want to understand.
Sorry?

Did you love your son?

What?

How can you help him
if you loved your son?

Listen, dickhead, I've been getting
this sort of thing from my family,

I've been getting it from my ex-wife,

I've been getting it
from victim support groups.

I don't need it from you, whoever
you are. Leave me alone.

MAN: He killed your son. How can you
even stand to look at him?

You think I don't cry for my son?

You think I don't lie awake at night
and wish I could turn back the clock?

I can't do that.

But what I can do is try and make

something positive
come out of all of this.

Positive? There's no positive.

There's just an empty room,
a bunch of memories,

a woman who can't sleep at night
without pills

and still cries in her sleep anyway.

Mate, I know what you're going...
I'm not your mate!

Go on then.
Scared you might dirty your image?

Forgiveness...

..it's all crap.

No.

No, you're wrong.

Kerry's gonna talk to those
other young offenders out there.

She's trying to change things.

You're selling out your son
to get your face on TV.

No-one's accusing you of anything,
Mr Myers.

We're talking to everyone
who's in a similar position.

Well, ask what you wanna know.

So, how are you coping?

My son Ethan was stomped to death by
two thugs harassing his girlfriend.

How do you think I'm coping?

They were put away
for five years, right?

(SCOFFS) Yeah, because
that wanker DPP

agreed to bargain the charge
down to manslaughter.

DUNCAN: Mr Myers, they do that
to get a conviction.

Sometimes it's not worth the risk.

There'd BE no risk if you'd done
your job and got more evidence.

Those murderers deserve
a lot more than five years.

What do you think
they should have got?

They shouldn't even be breathing.

And if the police had started to
deal with the violence in the city,

maybe Ethan would be alive.

You're useless!

Have you ever thought of taking
the law into your own hands?

What are you, a retard?!

That how you spend your days, is it,

asking people stupid questions
like that?

OK, we just need
to take it down a notch.

Or what, you'll hit me?
That's what you cops do, isn't it?

Come on, then, go me! Go on!
OK, now, mate.

Let's just ease it down a bit, eh?
Piss off!

Mr Myers, please.

What we're trying to do is
rule you out of the investigation.

If you could answer a couple of
questions, we'll be out of your hair.

I'm just trying to get
through this, you know.

There's no handbook that tells you
how to cope when your son is killed.

So, where were you
the last two nights?

Er, at work. Stocktaking.

Was anyone with you?
My assistant manager.

My wife usually does it but she's
with our other son in Mildura

visiting our in-laws.

Life goes on, detectives...

..even when you don't want it to.

JEN: Your son's name was Peter?

He was 18.

It would have been his 21st birthday
just over a week ago.

He was a talented cricketer,
wasn't he?

Batsman. He was being
looked at for the State.

What's this about?

We're investigating some recent
random acts of violence.

Random? That's always struck me
as an odd word.

These people choose their targets.
Sweetheart...

Believe me, we understand
your anger.

Do you?
Mmm.

They kicked our son to death.

The ringleader got four years -
four years for a life.

NICK: How do you deal
with it, Mr Clegg?

What?

Your loss? Your anger? Your pain?

I work.

I'm not sure why anymore, but I work.

Mmm.

We all cope in our different ways.

Thoughts of revenge?

MRS CLEGG:
Well, we wouldn't be the first.

JEN: What happened
the night Peter died?

Oh, for goodness sake, you must
have a dozen reports on it,

court records or something.

Why don't you read them instead?

That's a beautiful follow-through.

Peter had great style.
He was a run machine.

An opener?
A natural number three.

He was born to it.
Pace or spin, didn't matter.

Takes guts to face the quicks.

That was always my problem -

I'd see the ball coming anywhere
near my head and I'd just duck.

Yeah, I know what you mean,
but that didn't bother Peter.

He always got right in line.
Great heart.

Not the sort of kid
to get in street fights.

No.

Was he, um, standing up
for himself or...

..defending a mate?

Is that what happened?

There were three of them,
the ones that killed our son.

Two of them were under 16.

They had past records of violence
but all of that was inadmissible.

That's the way the system works,
guarantees a fair trial.

Fair? How was that fair to Peter?
To us?

Those boys didn't even get
juvenile detention,

just community service - picking up
rubbish off a few nature strips.

It's an insult.

And the older one? The one
who kicked Peter in the head.

He only got four years
for involuntary manslaughter.

Sure, but there were mitigating
factors, right?

They were high on drugs,
drugs they chose to take.

Peter too. He was on a night out.
Was he drunk, on drugs?

No!

So how did he react
when the boys approached him?

He did everything
he was supposed to do.

Offered them his wallet, his phone.
And they beat him anyway.

He didn't try to fight back? Not even
a little? He looks like a strong kid.

How dare you
come in here and suggest

our son might have brought
that beating on himself?!

She's not saying that, Mrs Clegg.

We're just trying to build a clearer
picture of what happened that night.

There's just a couple more questions.

Mr Clegg, where were you last night?

He was in his study.
He works a lot.

And the night before that?
Same.

IS that it? I don't think
we can give you any more.

Well, for the moment, yes.

But we may need to
speak with you again.

I'll be at work or here.
You'll find me.

It's a tough one, hey?
Sure.

Compared to those parents,
what have we got to complain about?

You did some good work
with the dad in there.

I didn't know you knew
your outswing from your flipper.

Didn't get us anywhere,
though, did it?

Poor bastard.

You can't rule Clegg out
as a suspect.

I mean, his wife alibied him
but she could be in on it.

Jen, we've talked
to five fathers today.

Any one of them
could be the shooter.

We'll find the shooter
and bring him in.

We can't leave the killer
out on the street.

Fine. You bring him in, then. Because
I don't wanna be the one doing it.

You're starting to sound like
one of those talkback callers.

Yeah, well, part of me
agrees with them.

I don't reckon society
needs these thugs either.

Just like our killer.

(CAR BEEPS)
Odds are he's a grieving parent.

He's still a killer.
Yes, a killer.

A killer who is acting out of sheer
grief over the loss of his child.

Nick, I know. it's awful.
Yes, it is.

Jen, for the first time

I've gotta go out and catch someone
I don't wanna catch.

The bottom line is
he has to be stopped.

Yeah, and locked up. And punished.

You really think any of those
parents could be punished any more?

So that's it? Decision made,
you've taken the job?

Yeah, Matt, I have.

And you didn't think
to tell me about it?

(LAUGHS) I've been trying to talk
to you about this for weeks now.

We've got a big case at the moment-
multiple murders.

You might have heard about that.
Yeah, I did. But not from you.

Hey.

Say you're coming to France.

I'll speak to the sarge,
but this isn't something

I can turn around at short notice.

But you'll talk to him?

I can probably get a month off
once this case is closed.

A month?

I might be able to get another couple
of weeks later in the year.

Right.
Hey, how did I become the bad guy?

You're the one going overseas
for your career, not mine.

What, so your career's
more important?

We were going just fine
until this job offer came up!

Were we? Were we fine?

How the hell would you even know,
Matt? You're never there.

I love you, Emma.
I want this to work out.

But you're not prepared to put
your career on hold for me?

And you won't give up this job.

I'm leaving on Friday but I'll
come collect my stuff before then.

How did you go with the grieving
parents? Any fit the profile?

Yeah, try all of them.

They've been put through
the emotional wringer.

I tell you, these people...
Hey, hey, hey.

Forget the sob stories.

What about just
good old-fashioned rage?

Well, it's hard to know
what's bubbling under the surface

but these two men did stand out.

DUNCAN: William Clegg
and Scott Myers.

Mattie and I spoke to Scott Myers.

We think he's definitely
one to watch.

Is that right, Ryan?
Sorry, sir?

It's nice of you to join us.

You have a big night
last night, Mattie?

Hey, forget Ryan's social calendar.
What's our next move?

We've got Anh Dang Ha
and Beau Roberts waiting

in the interview rooms.

Good - wave those pickies
under their noses,

see if they can point out
vigilante daddy.

Matt, are you ready?

Here.
it's OK, I'm fine.

It's OK.

You don't look OK. What's going on?

Emma left me. She's going to France.
Au revoir.

Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.

We haven't been getting on for ages.

Apparently. (LAUGHS)

No, I should have seen it coming.

She thinks I love my job
more than her.

I've been putting my job
on hold for her.

I put off going for
my sergeant's stripes for her

so we could spend more time
together.

It's not easy being the partner
of a cop, you know that.

Well, it was pretty bloody easy this
morning when she walked out on me.

Stuff it.

I'm gonna sit those exams.

So you're gonna have to
leave Homicide.

Once you make sergeant, there's no
guarantee that you can come back here.

Yeah. Well, I think I've been
putting this off for long enough.

Come on, let's do this thing.

Terry.
Bernice.

You have seen the paper this morning?
No, not yet.

"Police hunt vigilante killer."

"Cops grill grieving parents."
"Sniper terror on our streets."

That's the media for you, Bernice.
They are out of control.

They are completely irresponsible,

stirring the public up
into a state of hysteria.

I'm being as open and accessible
as I can.

I am dealing with ignorant
bloody rednecks

who are ripping me and
the police force to shreds

on every talkback show there is.

That's the public for you, Bernice.

They pay their taxes and
they think it's their bit done.

They want us to pull an arrest
out of our back pocket.

(MUTTERS) I mean, if that's
what makes them happy.

Well, given that the press seem to
know more about this case than I do,

do you have any updates for me?

Any little bones
I can throw to the dogs?

Couple of eyewitnesses,

accomplices of the victims.

May get a positive ID.
Very good.

Very good.

ROBERTS: I didn't see anybody.

He killed your mates. Look closer.

I told you, I didn't see him.
I was running.

Not until he opened up. Look again.

DUNCAN: Come on, take a closer look.
Yeah, right.

I look close, I identify the guy

and you people get me
for attempted robbery.

Permission to go in there and stomp
on the little pricks, Commander.

Don't tempt me, Terry.

MATT: We're after him, not you.
You gonna give me that in writing?

No.

But what I can tell you is

that this man is a person of interest
in other incidents,

not just the shooting of your friends.

We'd be very appreciative
of your help.

Maybe this guy.

JEN: Maybe's not good enough.
Are you sure?

Him. He pulled a gun
and shot Lee and Tran.

This is the dude.

Thank you, Terry.
Ma'am.

Which one was it?
William Clegg.

His son Peter was killed
three years ago.

He spent 10 days in ICU

before he died,
from repeated kicks to the head.

We know Clegg is armed
and emotionally unstable.

Nick and I can attempt a low-key
apprehension. He knows us, at least.

Well, remember that he is volatile
and unpredictable.

He's coming from a position of grief

which makes him
more dangerous than a pro.

We need to contain him
quickly and quietly.

Mrs Clegg, Detective Buchanan.

Could you step outside
for a moment, please?

Go.

Mr Clegg?

It's Detective Mapplethorpe.

STANLEY: Mr Clegg? Police.
Mr Clegg, this is Detective Freeman.

Mr Clegg, Detective Ryan.
DUNCAN: Mr Clegg.

Clear.
Clear.

Clear.

Mrs Clegg, this is a warrant to search
these premises and your vehicle.

Where's your husband, Mrs Clegg?
I don't know.

He wasn't here when I got up.
He's gone.

You say your husband left
yesterday afternoon.

Yes.

He didn't tell you where he was going?
No.

I was in the back garden,
I think, when he left.

Mrs Clegg, we want to
help your husband.

Help him?

We believe he is having major problems
dealing with your son's death.

Yes, I know.

He holds it all in.
He won't even go to counselling.

To look at him, you'd think
he was just the same.

Except for the cricket.
The cricket?

He loves cricket
but he never watches it now.

DUNCAN: Sarge.

(MUTTERS) His car's clean. We take
it in for an examination anyway?

No.
His wife's got a car.

Been out of registration
for about two years,

and the plates haven't been handed in.

He could have taken that one.
Possible.

We put out a KALOF.
OK.

Mrs Clegg, is it possible
that your husband took your car?

I don't have a car.

There was one registered
in your name, a red Honda Civic.

That's Peter's.

We helped him buy it for his 18th.
It just sits in the garage now.

All we've got from inside so far
is an empty box of ammo - .32s.

Right, no firearm.
Not yet, Sarge.

Jane, we need to find him. If he
told you anything, we need to know.

I don't know where he is.

TERRY: So let me
get this straight, Stan.

We're sure Clegg did this
but he's gone to ground?

Yes.

And he's still armed,
still completely unpredictable?

That's right.

We've got no idea
what he intends to do next.

I'm sure that's gonna go down well
with the talkback rednecks.

We've put a KALOF out
on the son's car

and we're circulating his picture.

And we can't guarantee finding him

before he hits some other
thieving low-life.

What about his work?
STANLEY: Checked.

Under surveillance if he shows,
but he won't.

No, he's definitely on a mission
but who is the next target?

We're trying to work that out.

We're reviewing the material
that we've got

but we expect his agenda
is unchanged -

to rid the streets of the kind
of thugs that killed his son.

If he's trying to stir up a climate
of fear, he's doing a bloody good job.

Find him, Stanley!

Sarge. There's something
you should see.

It was wedged behind the bookshelf.

The boys who attacked
the backpacker are in here.

So are Tran Huong and his mates.

This is proof these shootings
were never random.

Clegg chose his targets deliberately.

Now he's on the loose,

any one of the offenders in
this book could be his next target.

There's a reason why Clegg's
only started doing this now.

Peter's been dead for three years.

Why wait so long
to start taking revenge?

Exactly. Claudia said
there'd be a catalyst.

We thought it was the son's death.
I don't think it is.

The birthday - Peter Clegg would have
turned 21 last week.

Milestones and anniversaries
can intensify the loss, yeah.

What about this?

The guy that killed Clegg's son,
Christos Demitriou,

he got four years, right?

Whoever serves their full sentence,
especially at that age?

When's he come up for parole?

Christos Demitriou, is he next?

What do you mean? Next to what?

Mrs Clegg, we have witnesses
who have placed your husband

at the scene of the killings
of five young men earlier this week.

No, they must be wrong.

This is your husband's book.

It is full of newspaper articles
on those boys and many more.

He hunts them.

What?
You know he does, Jane.

I do not!

You alibied your husband,
said he was in the study.

He was.

Are you sure?

Well, I was in the garden.

(SIGHS) William is not a killer.

But he hasn't been the same
since Peter died.

Sarge, Christos Demitriou,
he was paroled today.

I've got a home address.

WOMAN: Ela! Ela! We've got to
get to Yia-Yia. We're running late.

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Open up! Police! Mr and Mrs Demitriou.

Can you check that for me?
it's the police. Open up.

House is clear. No sign of
disturbance or forced entry.

And there's definitely no-one home.

Are you certain Demitriou
was getting paroled today?

I checked with the prison.

They said Christos Demitriou
left in a taxi 45 minutes ago.

Sarge. The cab company's got
a drop-off point for Christos.

It's 44 Hine Court, Templestowe.

We checked -
it's the grandmother's house.

Let's go.

If Clegg starts shooting
at a family gathering...

It'll be a massacre.

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIREN WAILS)

(DOOR OPENS)
(LAUGHS) l knew its

What's going on? Hey, Nick.

(FAMILY MEMBERS LAUGH)
(WOMAN SPEAKS GREEK)

(SIRENS WAIL)

(TYRES SQUEAL)

Move the children.
Police! Don't move!

Police. Mr Clegg, lower your weapon.
Put the gun down!

(FIRES)

Get the children out now!
Drop the gun! Drop it!

CHRISTOS: Mama.

Mrs Demitriou, get back now!
CHRISTOS: Mama!

Stay there. Stay right where you are.

We've gotta get him away
from these people.

Yeah, not much chance of that.

Everyone, stay calm
and stay where you are.

Drop the gun, William.
We don't wanna hurt you.

You can't hurt me.

Matt, can you get a clear shot?
Too dangerous. Too many people.

You stay there. I'll shoot you.
You try to run, I'll shoot you down.

REPORTER: We're outside
the home of William Clegg

who sources claim is a person of
interest in the vigilante killings.

REPORTERS: Commander Waverley.
Commander Waverley.

(ALL SPEAK AT ONCE)

ls William Clegg
the vigilante murder?

Hello, everybody. Nothing to
report at this stage.

REPORTER: Is he here now?
I'll be making a statement shortly.

(REPORTERS SPEAK AT ONCE)

NICK: Put your weapon on the ground,
William. Don't make us shoot.

I bet you don't have
the balls anyway.

Wanna run? Go ahead, run,
make me shoot you.

Come on, William,
think of your wife!

I am. And my son.

Look, man, I did my time for that.

I didn't mean to kill him.
It was an accident.

Please, man...
NICK: Christos!

If you've got any sense,
you will keep your mouth shut.

Senior Sergeant.
(FLATLY) Oh. Wonderful.

Matt, take some uniforms, get up
there. Tell them to stay back.

Absolutely no visuals, got it?

Killing him is not gonna
help you and your wife.

It's not gonna make you
feel any better.

I want justice for my son.

They let him go free.
How can they do that?

How can they, the bastards?
WILLIAM!

William!
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

Duncan, can you get a clear shot?

No, Sarge.

JEN: Nick!
Please!

What the hell does
he think he's doing?

Nick!

Don't make me.
What, shoot me?

I'm already dead. So's Jane.
No, she's not.

She's waiting for you at home.
She wants you with her.

My son was just
starting out his life.

He dreamed about
playing for Australia.

I know.

And he probably would have.

And he killed him.
Come on, William!

Peter wouldn't want this!
(CHRISTOS SOBS)

You know nothing about my son.

He was so much better
than this piece of garbage.

He was. But you know what?

You're betraying his memory.

What? What are you talking about?

You think you're honouring your son.

Do you REALLY think Peter wants
to be remembered like this?

Peter was a fine Sportsman.

He was fair.

He was honest.

He was the kind of son
a man can be proud of.

That's how he'll be remembered.

No-one here will remember that.

They'll only remember you,
the father who became a killer.

This is not about me.
isn't it?

This is all about you, William.

Oh, no. Please!

(CHRISTOS SCREAMS)

DUNCAN: Put the gun down!
JEN: We will shoot!

(WOMEN SCREAM
AND TALK IN GREEK)

Move.

(GROANS)

CHRISTOS: Dickhead!

(PHONE RINGS)

Stanley.

I see. Thank you.

(SOBS)

BERNICE: I can definitely
assure the public

there will be a full inquiry
into this incident.

TALKBACK HOST: Commander,
I think what the public would like

is an assurance police shootings
will become less common, not more.

Noel, the use of firearms
is always a last resort.

The officers today responded to
an immediate threat to their lives

and to civilians' lives.

On the line we've got
Roger from South Morang.

ROGER: Hey, the police
are too trigger-happy, mate.

Why didn't they use the capsicum
spray or the Tasers or something?

Why didn't they try
and talk him down?

TALKBACK HOST:
Commander, your response?

Well, as I said, there will
be a full inquiry

but at this point, it appears that

the officers involved today
in this tragic incident

used entirely appropriate force.

ROGER: They didn't have
to shoot him, eh.

I mean, look, if it's not
street violence,

it's cops acting like
gun-crazy cowboys.

I mean, when's it gonna stop, mate...

You had no choice.

I know.

TALKBACK HOST:
Well, the people of Melbourne

have had enough of this violence,
that's clear.

WOMAN: The whole thing is a sham.
MAN: ..violence by a bloody pig...

WOMAN 2: The police, they say
they're helping

but all they're doing
is provoking more violence...

MAN: I mean, when does it stop?
