- Okay. I'm gonna take care of

the forensics, alright.

You play your part.

If the wheels fall off,

you're on your own.

You hear me?

Now, you didn't

mean to do anything bad.

Alright?

Just f***ing relax.

I'll get you through this.

Constable,

can you come here?

- Yes, sir.

- So, no point no no,

not that good of a party.

- Ready. One, two, three.

Bars up?

- Good to go.

- Yep.

- That's it.

- Take it easy, mal.

It's gonna be fine.

Thanks.

You've got to calm down,

okay?

You're being paranoid.

What business you had

going around there in

the first place is the question.

- What's he going

around there for?

He's going around there.

- He's a crusader.

Jesus, the pair of you!

What were you thinking?

"If I don't run down there soon

with a box of chocolates,

"she's gonna be offended?"

- I've gotta tell the truth.

I've got to come clean.

- Why?

Because you felt a little

rabbit in the headlights?

Because you think

the woman suspects something

and suddenly you feel worse?

Because Jim...

- no. Before all that.

Because it is

the right thing to do.

- Oh, really?

It's not because all of a sudden

you think the whole thing's

gonna come apart?

- No, ever since this sh*t just

jumped out of my f***ing mouth.

- Don't distance yourself.

You did that.

You did that yourself.

- I don't know why I did it.

- Survival's why you did it.

And now you've got to own it.

Now, stop with this bullshit.

- Bullshit.

It's bullshit.

Now, listen to me for a second.

We've got to keep this tight,

mal, and be smart,

and make sure whatever happens,

nothing comes out,

'cause if it does,

it's gonna be worse

'cause we're all in it,

the whole force, mate.

I stuck my neck out

from the get-go.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know,

you told the first lie.

I picked up on it.

So, limited forensic,

no in-depth,

the breath test.

You add it up.

- Carl, I didn't ask

for any of that.

- Of course you did,

with your "help me" face.

Your "I've pissed my pants,

help me" face.

'Course you f***ing did.

- I changed my mind.

- Oh, bullshit, you have.

Bullshit!

F*** off! No way!

Oh, what?

You bring me in and then 180?

Bullshit, you will.

The bigger picture, mal.

The bigger picture.

Think of your family,

the investigation.

Your reputation.

Six months' hard work.

12, 13 arrests.

You want to discredit all of us

and unpick that too?

Well, I'm not gonna let you.

Grow a f***ing brain.

I don't know why we're getting

all worked up about this.

I really don't.

You know, so...

Don't wave yourself

off the pitch for a mistake

because suddenly

it's eating away at you.

Well, of course it is.

You did some damage.

You remember that woman

that ploughed into Liam?

You know, 50s, three kids.

Absolutely distraught

at what... what she'd done.

Well, I saw her sat in court.

You know, a million

terrible things going on,

you know, worse than yours,

and it was killing me, but,

you know,

what can you do?

Time.

Time and the world

swallows events.

And it's sad,

but that's how it is.

And you and me, you know,

the world is gonna

swallow us up,

and who knows in the end

if we leave a mark?

But...

But we're doing something.

And I like to think

we're doing something good

with what we're given.

Don't wave yourself off

over this.

What do you want?

Five years in the Nick for...

For nothing?

That's stupid.

Prison is for pricks

that don't have

their punishment here.

Not you.

Not me.

It doesn't make sense.

Alright?

- Ah, slim, caught with

your hand in the cookie jar.

We're on.

Newcastle's nabbing Victor

and Sarah's being brought in.

Let's go.

Got him leaving baggage now.

He's one f***in' fat

17 year-old, man.

Anyone order a serving

of won-ton kid?

"One fat f*** to go, pwease."

- Wanna shut up unless you've

got something worth saying?

Uh, yeah,

copy that. Sorry, slim.

Yeah, you should have him now.

- Is that him?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Shall we go?

- Excuse me, buddy.

- Hey, nguyen?

- Phuk nguyen, yeah?

- Yeah.

What is this about?

- Oh, I just want to have

a little word with you.

Hey, fellas.

It's alright. Hang back.

- Yeah, mate,

I'll look after that.

- Oh, is that the, uh...

Is that the new one?

- Uh, yeah.

- Let's have a seat.

Let's have a chat.

- Alright, mate.

- Just relax. It's okay.

Maybe that's

a bit uncomfortable.

- Yeah, take that off, mate.

- Yeah, take it off.

You're f***ed, both of you.

You hear me, pig f***?

F*** you both!

I'll make sure

you're f***ing dead

by the end of f***ing tonight.

How about that?

F***ing faggots!

Keep the threats coming, pal.

Yeah? How about this

for a f***ing threat, huh?

- How about that

for a f***ing threat, huh?

- Damaging police property.

- Stop it, slim.

I'm f***ing 17.

What the f*** are you guys gonna

f***ing do to me?

Huh? Huh? How about that, huh?

Hey, settle down.

- F*** you!

- Settle down!

What are you gonna do to me?

Come on, pig!

Come on!

What do you want?

F***ing f*ggot pig!

Come get me, f***ing pig!

Shut up!

- Come get me, pig!

- Come on, pig!

Yeah! You're f***ed, pig!

Come get me, pig!

- Shut up!

- Pig! F*** you!

- Shut up!

Mal!

Say something!

Say something!

I put a copy of

that report on your desk.

Don't worry.

It's all good.

- I'm, um...

..In trouble, love.

I didn't find that kid

on the road.

I hit him...

..With my car.

I didn't mean to lie about it.

I just did.

I just said it.

It just came out of my mouth.

First to emergency

and then to ambos.

I meant to take it back,

but I didn't.

'Cause I was scared.

So...

I'm gonna have to say something.

I've got to tell the truth.

- He has brain damage.

There's every chance

that he'll die.

Jemma told me at the hospital.

I didn't think

to say anything because...

Jesus Christ.

- Um, Carl... knows.

And he wants me

to keep my mouth shut.

- I want you to listen to him.

To Carl.

To not say anything.

Don't say anything.

We can live with this.

However, at this stage,

that either the prints

or the dog

in fact belong to you.

In the circumstances,

I'm left with no choice

but to grant bail.

The bail will be granted on

the following conditions.

You will reside at

65-117 crayview Crescent,

rossdale park.

You will report to the officer

in charge...

..Between the hours

of 8am and 7pm.

You will surrender your passport

and you are not to approach

any children

or be in the vicinity of

playgrounds or schools.

Carl, will you settle down?

- It's lazy.

- Carl...

- It's bullshit and it's lazy.

Listen, Carl,

you don't pull your head in...

- Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

He reoffends,

I shall hold this f***ing court

personally responsible.

How's that for contempt?

Get a couple of glasses.

Sometimes I f***ing wonder

why I'm here.

Ah. Well, we should get

a good lift off this.

What'll I find?

Overdue library book?

- Um...

Aren't you sort of...

Not supposed to...

- You've got to learn to finish

your sentences, mate.
