I get it. I totally get it.

You got two kids,

and you don't want this getting

out in the press, do you?

But it... it could.

So, look, this is what

I think you should do.

What you should do is you tell

us how they're communicating,

give us your names, yeah,

but how they're communicating.

We'll give you a letter of

assistance for the magistrate,

which is great, and we'll

keep you out of the press,

get you immunity.

Or you don't cooperate with us

and you end up in the daily

telegraph tomorrow morning,

which is not good.

You know, we'll leak that stuff,

we'll give 'em a photo

'cause, you know, we need

a bit of good press around here.

So we have three new players

and we know how

they're communicating, finally.

We have an email address

they all have access to

through a shared password.

- You'll love 'em.

There's new ones

from last night.

Our lovely friend alcohol.

Drunk-dial.

Sarah to Tina.

"Stupid b*tch."

"Grow the f*** up."

"Stupid slut."

"Whore."

Now, she doesn't give

anything specific away here,

but here...

Oh, yeah.

This is Tina to Victor,

and I quote,

"why am I f***ing, you know,

protecting you two anyway?"

Are on the right, second floor.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- Jemma.

- Hey.

- What room is he in?

Is it 43?

- 43.

- I'll catch up with you.

And Jake made William

a card. Didn't you, Jake?

This is William's mum.

Thank you.

And this is Malcolm.

- Hi. Hi.

These are for you.

- Thank you.

- We wanted to wait a day

or two.

We didn't want to intrude.

- You were with him?

You helped him?

- Uh... uh, yeah.

- They said without you,

he wouldn't...

Thank you.

I don't know how to

thank you properly.

- That's...

- No, there is no words

to thank you.

- I really,

I didn't...

Look, it's... it's

really...

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, we should probably...

We should let you

get back to it.

And we've got to

feed these little...

- We just wanted to make sure

you're okay.

- ...these rascals.

- Thank you.

- So, yeah, we didn't want to

intrude for very long.

We just wanted to...

- You have our number.

If you need anything,

please call us.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Thank you.

Race you there.

Whoever presses the button wins.

- Let me press the button!

- Don't run, guys.

Triple 0.

What service do you require?

Ambulance. Emergency.

Ambulance

emergency. What suburb?

Kings park.

Okay. Kings park. And

what's the exact address there?

I'm on epson road

and the nearest

cross street is, uh...

Uh...

We can...

Ah, it's quarry... quarry road.

Okay. Alright.

So tell me exactly

what's happened.

There's a boy

and he's on the road

and he's had a...

He's fallen off his bike.

And he's hit his head

and he's not moving.

- What am I supposed to...

- hang on, wait.

Just listen.

He's unconscious and breathing,

but he's not moving.

Okay.

Do you think that maybe he

could have been hit by a car?

Uh...

No. I don't know.

I mean...

There's a possibility...

- There's a possibility.

- Yeah.

- Listen.

...He's not moving.

Okay, alright.

Do you think that maybe he

could have been hit by a car?

Uh...

No. I don't know.

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...

- I think we need to investigate

detective toohey further.

- Oh, Jim, this is the stupid...

- I wanted to defer to you,

but, you know,

I think if it's not too late,

we should run a full forensic

on his car,

you know, a structural check,

you know.

Detective toohey

should be questioned,

perhaps even given a chance

to change his statement.

Or... rather,

to make a formal statement.

- Look, I just don't know

what you're hearing.

- The pause,

the time it takes him.

I mean, he's lying.

The hesitation in his voice...

- Okay, okay, just hold up,

just relax, alright.

He's a cop.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, so he shouldn't be

panicked and hesitating.

He's used to these situations.

- He's got a little kid there

in serious need.

- But you don't think

it takes him

too long to give a clear answer?

Oh, no. I just think

you're reading stuff

into what seems to me

a pretty normal situation.

Alarm bells

aren't ringing for me.

- He's lying.

- I think you want him

to be lying.

- Okay. Then explain

this next thing.

- So the operator

keeps him on the line,

yeah, and he doesn't mention

anyone else,

anything suspicious,

no other cars, yeah?

So why in his statement

15 minutes later

does he detail seeing another

car when he came across the kid?

Tail-lights taking off

around the corner.

I mean, you can say

he's under stress, but...

- Okay, mate, you relax.

This isn't proof

of anything, alright?

I'll talk to him, okay?

And then I'll decide what's

the best course of action.

Okay?

- Yeah.

- For the record,

I think you're drawing

a seriously long bow.

- With all due respect, I...

I really feel strongly

about this, Carl.

You know, and...

I think it's possible

that, you know,

your personal relationship

with detective toohey

could be clouding

the issue a little.

- You really just said that?

Hey, no offence intended.

- I'll decide whether

there's any offence taken.

Uh, Carl?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I've got a minute.

What's going on?

Where are you right now?

- Go and help those boys out

with the perimeter, will you?

Make it your scene.

I'll handle things here.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, yeah.

I want a wider perimeter.

Bloody rubberneckers.

- Yeah, copy that.

Folks, show some respect.

- So, I, uh... heard you

took a shot yesterday.

- Oh, yeah.

- A very lucky one.

Yeah, I was gonna try

and make the party,

but Manny keeps me

tied to the house.

That's why it's not the best

environment in the world

to be the only one

on soda water.

So, you're feeling a bit

under the weather, I bet.

Yeah well, we'll have you out of

here in a few minutes,

so just run me through

what happened.

You found the kid?

- Mmm.

Yeah, I don't know exactly

what happened, 'cause...

Look, I think that, um...

You think what?

Don't f***ing bullshit me.

Have you made a statement?

Nothing?

Did, uh...

Did anyone see you?

How much have you had to drink?

- I had a bit,

I had a bit.

- Oh, f***.

Uh, are there any marks

on the car?

- I didn't hear any noise,

so I think I hit his body.

I hit him with the side mirror.

Alright.

Here's what happened.

Here's what happened.

You rounded the corner,

you saw what you saw,

a shape at the side of the road.

A kid, but you didn't

know that then.

At the t intersection,

you saw a vehicle,

the engine idling, brake lights.

You don't know

what kind of vehicle.

Then it took off really quickly,

then you pulled over

to help the kid.

Alright?

Alright?

Okay.

Constable, the breathalyzer?

Thank you.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Right. Now your turn.

Count to ten.

- One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
