he could have been hit by a car?

- Uh... no. I don't know.

Okay. Alright.

- I mean... there's

a possibility,

but he may have just

fallen off his bike.

I don't know.

Okay, but he's lying

on the road with the bike,

and you can't see

anything else around?

- Um, hold on a sec.

Hold on.

- Okay.

- Yep.

Someone's just arrived.

Um...

Someone's just arrived?

Like a vehicle?

- Yeah, like a truck.

Hold on.

Hey, mate, can you...

Can you make sure

that no-one drives past here

or make sure

they're in that Lane.

- Hurry up! I'm a cop, alright.

- Keep the lights flashing.

- Is he alright?

- Yeah, yeah.

Um, hold... what? Yeah.

Sorry, I'm trying to do

two things at once. What?

That's okay.

How about you put the phone

on speakerphone?

- Yeah. Can you hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you.

Now, is there anything around

that you can keep him warm with?

Like, a jacket, a blanket?

- Oh, yeah, well, I can get

something from my car.

Okay, that'd be great.

Is there someone

- yeah, there's a guy here.

Hold on. I'll go now.

Mate, could you sit with him

for a minute?

- I don't know anything

about first aid.

- Just make sure

he doesn't move.

Like, maybe cradle his head.

I'm just getting something

from my car.

Yell out if anything happens.

Here it is.

Just here.

He still hasn't moved,

but he's still breathing.

I'll just move you

out of the way for a sec.

- Sorry.

- Ya.

What's happened to him?

I think he's just had

a head injury, I... I guess.

Were you actually

involved in the incident?

- Alright, just ask them why

a model citizen on the dole

would want to buy

three mobile phones.

Just ask them that, alright?

It's a good question.

- Yeah, well, there is method

in all this.

Yeah, but just... just tell me

that the intercepts hold.

That's all I want to know.

- City west 102, we're

a detective unit in the area...

- Hold on. What are you doing?

What is this?

Copy that,

102. Your eta in progress?

- Yeah, city west 102.

Eta, three to five minutes.

- That's not us.

Carl, I'm gonna go now.

- That's traffic.

Woman on radio:

Gentleman in the white shirt

found him.

Thanks, ultimo 1.

If you could attend outside

the east ocean restaurant.

Sussex street at haymarket...

Detective constable Jim melic.

This is detective sergeant

Carl summer.

- Sir.

- What's going on?

- We've got a kid

in critical condition,

no perpetrator,

one possible witness.

We've got a bystander

who's ID'd the kid.

He lives about five blocks away.

We're trying to get in touch

with the family.

- Who's the witness?

There's no witness.

The guy found the kid.

Wha...

He's a detective?

That's the guy, yeah.

- Yeah, well, wait on a minute.

I don't understand.

Is this his scene or what?

Um... look, I was told

that he's the witness,

he's the one that found the kid.

- Just get your guy back here.

- Constable?

Yep?

- Sir, I just, um...

I just wanted to say I, um...

I trained with Liam.

He was a great, great guy.

I'm really sorry

about what happened.

- He's...

He's a detective.

Off duty.

He was just driving.

- So, what, he's a witness?

A suspect?

What, first on the scene?

- I've literally just barely

started speaking to him.

Hey, Carl.

- Hi, mal.

This is Jim.

Jim melic.

How are you?

- Yeah, yeah.

We were introduced.

- That's right.

- Yeah, he's over from mosman.

- That's right.

- Yeah.

- So, what, what is it?

Fallen, you think?

Or maybe a fail

to stop, you reckon?

Uh, well...

It could be a fail to stop.

What, you didn't see

anything, or...?

- Jim, go and help those boys

out with the perimeter,

will you?

Make it your scene.

- Uh...

- I'll handle stuff here.

Just open a wider perimeter.

Bloody rubberneckers.

Righto. Copy that.

- Come on, folks.

You know the drill.

Don't set up there.

This is a stupid spot to park.

- So, I, uh... heard

you took a shot yesterday.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, a very lucky one.

- Up too bloody early anyway,

aren't you?

- Don't worry, we'll have you

out of here in a minute,

so just, uh...

You know what?

- Actually, you guys

can piss off.

Get down there

beyond the truck, alright?

Take a hike.

Let's go. Come on.

Hey, I want tape up here,

across the road

in front of the van.

No-one gets through, alright.

Who's on traffic?

F***ing hell.

- Constable, come here.

- Yes, sir.

So, constable,

detective toohey's obviously

a colleague of mine,

and with all due respect,

detective, I believe you.

I know you to be

an upright citizen,

for the most part, anyway.

So I'd like you to be present

for the witness statement

if you would, for posterity,

whatever that means.

Yes, sir.

- It's your call, constable.

You stay and do this.

I'll oversee the forensics,

alright?

- Yes, sir.

Quite a character.

- Yeah, yeah.

- So run me through

what you saw.

- Uh, so I was driving up

around the bend,

I was traveling north

on my way home,

and... oh, well I saw the...

I saw the kid,

but I thought he was a shape

or I don't know what

on the road.

And I was just sort of stopped

here, and then there's,

in the middle Lane,

a car stopped,

just sort of idling with,

like, brake lights on.

But when I stopped,

he... he just took off.

That's when I came back

and then I made the call

to emergency.

That was about 15 minutes ago.

Ready in one, two, three.

- Has there been any word

on the kid?

- Well, they won't know until

they get him to the hospital.

Excuse me, officer?

What is going on?

- There's been an accident

just across the road.

Do you know his name?

He's in the ambulance?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Can you get one of these guys

to take me to a hospital?

- Please wait.

No, I need to go

to the hospital.

I need... no, I need to go now.

I need to go now.

No. Please,

take me to the hospital.

No, I need to go now.

I need to go now.

- I think we're just about

done here, mate.

- Uh-huh.

Yeah, look, I just can't

actually hear.

I've got the bloody

vacuum cleaner behind me.

What was that?

Oh, okay.

Yep, no worries.

Alright.

Cheers, mate.

Thank you.

- You want to sign this?

It's the statement

for the possible fail to stop.

Yeah, it's right down there

at the bottom.

- Mm-hm.

Hey, I'm looking at this file

and I'm just curious what got

you so into this Victor bloke.

I mean, you've got virtually

nothing on him, aside from...

Well, he's on

the offenders register...

- He did it.

Well, yeah, but...

- Well, watch the tape.

- That's a disc.

- The disc.

Watch it.

I've watched the disc.

- Watch it again.

- Got it.

- I've got a date

with my mother.

Now, the file for the telephone

intercept should be up.

Listen to every word.

If the footnote says,

'nothing of interest, '

take it with a large pinch

of sodium chloride.

Find something.

If you look hard enough,

you always will.

That's the way

you're gonna impress me,

not by bringing me

cups of coffee.

- The intercepts hold.

- Right. We're stirring

the pot good now.
