Underbelly Files: Tell Them Lucifer Was Here Page #7

---

In the next six months.

We're gonna have to get

rid of another two CPs.

And you know why?

To make the investigation go stupid.

CPs? That's his word for "cops'.

The daughters know all about it?

...don't you think they would've been

pulling us into the police station by now?

All I'm saying is that if this continues,

this matter, two CPs have gotta go.

Where? Lt'd have to be far.

Across the other side of the city.

Yeah. I'm not gonna use

e-TAG or anything like that.

Thanks.

I mean, killing more police

puts a new complexion on it.

It might be just words.

There's no law against talking.

Thank you.

There's more, sir.

No. Seriously. I don't reckon

there's gonna be any need.

Shut up. Dorothy.

What are you doing?

I'm just talking to Bubs.

Can't we just sit here and talk?

So you talk to your daughter and

tell her what's f***in' going on,

but you won't talk to your wife?

Just talkin' about f***in' sh*t!

Well. Your tea's ready.

Seriously, do you think I should get

rid of the little kid and the mother?

You know, the cop's wife?

Make 'em start thinking

it's about, you know,

drugs or something else, you know?

Something personal about him?

Give me one good reason why

we don't arrest them today.

I don't have enough proof.

But this strategy of yours,

stirring the possums...

Could get more cops killed.

I vote we take them down now.

It's very high-risk.

How can you guarantee they

won't do what they say?

And it's not just members'

lives we're talking about.

It's a risk we have to manage,

which is why I've asked Donald to join us.

I need more time. We move on them

now, they'll walk at committal.

Can you manage it?

Put a SOG unit on stand-by down the road,

and the moment they look like

they're tooling up, we shut 'em down.

I want to see them in the Supreme

Court, not the Coroners Court.

Well, you do your job, and I'll do mine.

Upgrade your surveillance, Paul.

I wanna know where they are every

minute of every day. Forget budget.

It's not true you're looking

for the car interstate?

No, it's not.

By the way, Paul, it's Valentine's

Day, in case you hadn't noticed.

Not too late to send

the wife some flowers.

Carmel, where does Jimmy go to creche?

Why?

There's been a threat made against you.

And him.

By these men?

These murderers?

What threat?

To kill you.

Are we safe?

Yes.

PAu ON TV:
Crime Stoppers

has received a call

from an anonymous person

who believes he can identify

one of the offenders.

We believe this person has a

substantial degree of credibility

and I woud urge him to call us again.

No-one was there but us, cockhead!

This is the most significant

lead we've had in 20 months.

Once again, I woud urge

this caller to come forward.

I will personally

guarantee your anonymity.

Your help in this matter coud

be crucial in solving this crime.

Thank you.

That's good.

Yeah.

Good.

Why don't we just arrest him?

You know, bring him in. He's a kid.

He'll give up Debs in five seconds flat.

And you're prepared to gamble the

entire investigation on that, are you?

That's me!

Every bastard who picks up this

paper's gonna think it's me!

I don't wanna think about this

every day of my f***in' life!

What? You don't come in here!

Your mother's on the phone. The

cops have been bothering her again.

Ooh. There's a big dinosaur, buddy, hey.

Can you see him? A big T. Rex, huh?

Yeah, that's right.

Babies!

Carmel?

Hi. I'm a police officer.

It's fine. There's no danger.

Police? But how... how...

We've been shadowing you

since Valentine's Day.

That's our job.

I had no idea. Thank you.

I didn't know Rod, but everyone

says he was a top bloke.

Thank you.

BANDALl:
We're gonna have to be

really careful now with what we do.

We're gonna have to watch every

word, stop talking and sh*t, you know?

Yeah. Act like everyday wankers.

Yeah.

Maybe I ought to go in and see 'em.

Own up it looks like me.

Yeah.

'Cause if it was you,

you wouldn't be stupid

enough to do that, would ya?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, act like a cockhead.

Yeah, no worries.

Seize the initiative. Oh...

Very interesting situation, Jason.

Yeah.

That's my picture, mate. I

mean, it looks exactly like me.

It's pretty close, isn't it?

Oh, when I saw this, I nearly

had a f***in' heart attack!

Me mum went mental.

I can believe it.

But it's not you?

Mate... Mate, I'm a chippie.

Well, an apprentice.

I'm no killer.

We're gonna have to check

you out, you realise that?

Yeah, yeah, no problem, mate.

Cocky little turd.

Come arrest day, we'll

release him immediately.

Give him some time on his own

without his mate Lucifer

telling him what to think.

He might just spill his guts to Nicole,

and we'll be recording every word.

One of them had to shoot first.

Who's to say it wasn't Jason?

But why did they have to shoot at all?

Maybe that was the plan. "If ever

we get pulled over, we shoot first. "

Jason. can you please state

your ful name for the tape?

Jason Joseph Roberts.

I'm just gonna ask you a few questions

in relation to the deaths of...

Oh, what a bunch of f***in' cockheads!

No f***in' idea.

Yeah. that's why I'm here.

Mmm! You know what I done? What?

When he went out of the room,

I put his cup where my cup was.

What, they tried to take

your prints? I don't know.

So I swapped the cups around anyway.

Oi, it's that time again, Ben.

What?

Time for a job.

What job? Bang, bang?

I'd love to, mate, but we are red-hot.

So?

So we go west or something.

Wear masks, hit some ching

chong joint or something...

Mate, the Ds are all over us.

I kill Ds.

I know you do. I KNOW you do.

I kill Ds.

"I kill Ds. "

Go again.

I kill Ds.

"I kill Ds. " I kill detectives.

Even if we could enhance the audio,

how do we prove he means "detectives'?

"D' could mean"d*ckhead'.

"D*ckhead'?

You reckon?

OK, fine. I'm going home. If

you wanna sack me, sack me.

BANDALl:
Hello.

How are you goin'?

Yeah, good. You?

You caught those people

who did that thing?

Uh, no, no, not yet.

But, er, pretty positive

we'll find them in the end.

And what about the car?

You found the car yet?

No, not yet. But we're still looking.

What, you live around here, do ya?

Uh, no. I, um... just on the

way to a mate's place, actually.

I just stopped by to pick up some stuff.

Oh, yeah. What about you?

You keeping busy? What do you do again?

Oh, I'm flat out. You know,

tiling, roofing, plastering.

I'm doing a job over in Mooroolbark

at the moment, at KFC there.

Right.

Actually, I wanted to have

a word again with you soon.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

About that young bloke that

lives with your daughter.

Is it Jason? Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, see, a few issues

have been raised about him.

We've had a few calls about

that photofit that got released.

Ah.

I'll call you, yeah? Yeah.

Alright.

I'll see you round. Yeah.

I'm gonna find out where he lives.

That stuff about him

visiting a friend's bullshit.

Oi, you reckon our phones are bugged?
