Empty the till!

Give us the money!

Give us the money!

- Zane, give him the money.
- Shut up!

Give us the money, or
I'll blow your brains out!

Shut up!

No.

Armed holdup in progress,

Mason Street, Lakemba.

The two offenders
are described as male,

Middle Eastern, around
160 centimeters tall,



one wearing a blue hooded jacket

I reckon that's ours.

No, leave it. They'll hear it.

Offenders were last seen on foot

on Mason Street heading south.

Hooded jacket, black backpack.

Major crime 101,
we've got two males.

One's wearing a hooded jacket.
One's got a black backpack.

They're on foot, headed north
towards the railway station.

Get down! Get down!

Get down! Get on
the ground! Now!

- Run!
- Stop!

All cars, all cars, keep
a lookout for two males

possibly armed with
an automatic pistol,



Middle Eastern appearance,
one wearing a blue jacket,

one carrying a black backpack.

These men are
wanted in connection

to the shooting of an officer.

All officers to attend
as soon as possible.

John, you all
right? Are you hurt?

Still no system here,
mate. Got nothing.

Just start at the
beginning, mate.

Did you I.D. these guys as
the ones that did the armed rob?

- Yeah.
- So, what happened?

We pulled them over, guns drawn,

and they started yelling
at each other in Arabic.

- Were they armed?
- I don't know.

I don't know. One
of them ran away.

Mick chased after him,

and then the other one
come at me sideways

and grabbed my gun and shot

- Mick in the back.
- What happened to your gun?

Uh, he dropped it
over there somewhere.

I'll check it out.

Just take it easy, all right?

The ambos will
take care of it. Yeah?

He's dead.

Call on forensics.

Helen, these people
around here, they witnesses?

- No.
- Well, piss them off, will you?

- Lock the place down.
- No worries.

We'll work it out, all
right? We'll get them.

We're gonna get
these guys, all right?

Two males of Middle
Eastern appearance

are now wanted for the
murder of a police officer.

If persons of this
description are seen,

stop and check ID.

Let go of me! What
are you doing?

What's wrong with you?
What are you doing?

Stand there. Put
your hands in the air.

Hands up. Hands up, mate.

You've got the wrong
man. My father is a sheik.

- You cops have no respect.
- Name?

I'm the Sheik
Mohammed Al'Alwani.

Turn around.

- How'd his wife take it?
- Not great.

Two kids, right?

Yeah, four and six.

Okay, now I'm sure
we're all pretty devastated

by what's happened
to Michael Johnson.

I think the best we
can do right now

is focus on finding out
the people who did this

and make sure no
one else gets hurt.

Well, forensics are squared
off on both crime scenes.

We got people doing door knocks,

recent jail releases and
known gangsters in the area.

Stolen vehicle checks?

Servo said the two hoods
left in a white VL Commodore,

but they were on foot
when the shooting occurred.

Okay. Find the stolen vehicle.

They wouldn't have
dumped it too far away.

We got to keep the pressure on.

Keep the pressure on
to flush these people out.

Got a lot less
chance of doing that

if we antagonize
their community.

Two men have just
murdered a police officer.

We'd like to find them.

So would I, but pulling
over and searching

respectable Muslim leaders,
it's not gonna produce results.

What leaders are
we talking about?

The Sheik Mohammed
Al'Alwani along with his son...

He was driving an
unregistered vehicle.

Oh, guilty then. He
must have shot a cop.

Okay, well, look. Hang
on. We're all upset.

Let's just try and
stay levelheaded here.

Koa's got surveillance footage

of the armed holdup
at the petrol station.

If these are the guys that shot
Johnson, we got them on tape.

They've got their hoods up,
sunglasses. You can't see a lot.

Then we get out there and
work with the community

on finding these people.

What do you want
to do, hand out flyers?

Talk to leaders, sheiks.

Yeah, okay, Malik, but
we're not pussyfooting around

with some politically correct
public relations exercise.

We question everyone.
We round up suspects.

We find these bastards
as soon as we can.

Let's get out there
and talk to these people

before that prick
kills our chances.

You should sleep together.
Get it over and done with.

The man who was
shot was quite young?

Yeah, 28.

Two kids. You heard anything?

Only they are
looking for two men

of Middle Eastern
appearance, whatever that is.

That's you and me. Look at us.

- We could be twins, right?
- That's true.

It's possible the
shooting was linked

to some armed robberies
happening in the area.

Whoever did this is
not doing us any favor.

- That's true.
- I'll do what I can.

Shukran.

You reckon he'll
give us anything?

Anyone knows what's going
down in Lakemba, it's him.

Yeah? How does he manage that?

He's got one ear to God,
man, one to everyone else.

It was right across
the road here.

I go to the market.

Yeah, yeah, we've
established that,

but you said you were
back here by 9:00 a.m.

Yes.

Around 9:30, two young
men chased by police,

running, running, and gunshot.

Yeah? Bang, bang, bang.

Did you see anything
or hear anything?

Okay.

Two young men about
this high, baseball caps.

One has got a blue jacket,
and one has got a backpack.

Okay, if you remember
anyone who looks like this,

you give us a call, okay?

Thank you.

I think you should
brush up on your Arabic.

Make more sense out of
someone in the middle of Beirut.

This one.

This one here, "Robber Di Nero."

Robert De Niro?

Not Robert.

Robber Di Nero.

This one called
this one Di Nero.

Did he have an accent?

His English not good.
I think he's Lebanese.

What's the one with the gun say?

He said, "Give me the money!"

He just shouting the same,

pointing a gun,
pointing right here.

So, what happened? Did
you give him the money?

I didn't want to die.

Why do you think Talal
was involved in the shooting?

Talal's problem is
too must testosterone.

He should open a sperm clinic
and make some money out of it.

- Instead he causes trouble.
- When did he go missing?

His parents said he left
around 9:00 yesterday morning,

and he didn't come
home last night.

Does he carry a mobile?

Yes, it's switched off. He
didn't attend Jumu'ah prayer.

- Okay.
- His parents are very worried.

- Okay, I'll talk to them.
- They're honest people.

This is a good starting point.

Thank you.

Okay. The kid's
name is Talal Labban.

Let's see if he's
got any formers.

Yeah, thanks.

Disobeying a lawful direction,

public order
incident in Villawood,

offensive language,
assaulting police,

resisting arrest...
Nothing serious.

He left for his
tutorial at university.

And you haven't seen him since?

He didn't turn up for
work at his uncle's shop.

He didn't come home to sleep,
and his mobile is switched off.

Could he be staying with
a mate, a girlfriend maybe?

No, he would call us.

We've tried
contacting his friend Ali,

but he is missing also.

- Ali's last name?
- Hussein.

This is not like Talal. He
would not just disappear.

No, I understand.

Is there something about his
behavior that was worrying you?

Mrs. Labban, what
are you afraid of?

We are afraid for our son.

It's not safe for
him and his friends

because they are Lebanese.

Please, Mr. Labban.

What are you afraid of?

The look in his eyes... He
was scared, very scared.

When?

Guys, I can't help you out
until you tell me everything.

- Mrs. Labban, please.
- I'm gonna ask you again.

When was the last
time you saw Talal?

He came back home.

I knew there was
something wrong,

but he wouldn't
tell me what it was.

Whoa. Hang on a second.

I tried to make him stay. I
told him we would help him.

- Did he say anything to you?
- But he wouldn't listen.

He told me he was
in trouble. Big trouble.

Did he change his clothes?

All right. I'll need to borrow
those clothes, all right?

Why do you want his clothes?

They're gonna
help us locate him.

I'm trying to help
you find your son.

This shooting of the
police officer yesterday,

you're not saying that
Talal was involved.

We just got to find Talal
and ask him some questions.

My son goes missing, and
now you think he's a murderer?

That's not what we're saying.

Then why do you
take his clothes?

We've got to ask
him a few questions.

His clothes are gonna confirm

that he wasn't
involved in the shooting.

If he's done nothing wrong,
he's got nothing to worry about.

I'm gonna need a
list of all the people

that Talal hangs
out with from you.

- My son is not a criminal.
- I understand.

He studies hard.

He works for his
uncle, you know,

and he tries to
help the refugees.

I'm gonna do my best
to find Talal, okay?

In the meantime, if he contacts
you, you tell him to call me.

All right?

I'll help him sort
it out. All right?

We'll get these back to
you as soon as we can.

I found a photo.

Talal Labban, 25 years,
resident of Lakemba.

Print it.

We'll need anything that
you've got on his mate,

a Mr. Ali Hussein.

These need to be tested
for gunshot residue.

Did you get a swab
from the suspect?

Well, if we knew where
he was, we would.

Have you checked with
immigration they haven't left?

Callas is onto it.

I'm organizing TIs on both
the boys' landlines and mobiles.

Talal is close to his family.

He won't stay out
of touch for long.

Get a list of his friends,
extended family, associates,

anyone who could
be harboring him.

Get a warrant,
knock the places over.

Hang on, let's be
sure of the facts

before we start
kicking in doors.

I'll knock first
before we go in.

We've got nothing on this
kid. All we've got's a suspicion.

He's got priors and
so has his mate.

What they were wearing
matches Duff's description.

Plus he pissed off from
the site after the incident.

That doesn't mean it was him.

His family think he's involved.
That's good enough for me.

I said they're
worried about him.

Why wouldn't they
be worried about him?

He's just killed
a police officer.

We don't know that.

You know what
else they're doing?

They're hoping their mate
on the inside might get him off.

You know what? They're
looking for someone to trust, Ray?

When Mick Johnson's wife
buries her husband on Wednesday,

there's two kids
without a father.

I want the bastard who
killed him locked up.

- You think I don't?
- I got 48 hours.

That's my deadline.
What's yours?

Twice they interview my son.

When did this happen?
Did you see this?

- Just before 5:00.
- Who did it?

- Some boys, kids.
- How tall were they?

What were they
wearing? Did you see?

Leave it, Zane.

I don't want you
making things worse.

Were they driving a car?

Your father has not
had a shower in a week.

He says the water hurts.

This I can make disappear.
I can repaint the wall.

But Rahman, I cannot
make him the man he was.

- Do I smell?
- Not yet, but you will.

Assalamu alaikum.
How are you, Coach?

Alaikum salam. Why didn't
you answer your phone?

- I couldn't. I'm sorry.
- Bye, Dad.

I was worried it might
be you. I saw the news.

- Did you attend the scene?
- Yeah.

Don't worry. I'm all right.

See you after soccer.

Baba, you got to
shower. Let's go.

Look, nothing up here,
idiot. There's nothing up here.

Baba, look, it takes
10 minutes to shower.

And they think I'm
brain-damaged. Heh.

It takes 10 minutes
to shower. Let's go.

Rahman, please. Zane
is only trying to help.

Oh, Zane got a tiger on one
side and a bear on the other side.

He still think he gonna win.

Oh!

Ooh! Ooh!

That's cold.

This hurts!

It hurts me!

Any excuse to make
police power bigger.

It's a police state.

A policeman was shot today.

I'm trying to find
the man who did it.

What about the man who
shot me? Who's looking for him?

I am.

You're a cop. You got no brains.

Pashley Street, Metcalf Drive.

This is the house
of Talal Labban.

Hang on, hang on.
Slow down, slow down.

Where are you?

Yeah, but where?

Talal, listen to me. Calm down.

You got to tell
me where you are.

I can help you out,

but you've got to tell me
exactly what happened.

No, Talal, we've got to ask
you a few questions, that's all.

I can talk to the cops
for you. I am one.

Talal?

I just made contact
with Talal Labban.

Where he is?

He hung up when he
realized I was a cop.

I guess his parents
left that bit out.

- Did he give you anything?
- He says two men jumped him.

They didn't know they were cops.

"We yelled, 'Stop! Police!'
and drew our guns."

That's Duff's statement.

He got cold feet.
He wants to talk.

Okay, he can do all the
talking he wants in here.

Listen, we're not
waiting around here

while you workshop this with
all your buddy Arab mates.

Okay, he's got 10
hours to make contact.

Otherwise, we go in at dawn.

Thank you.

All right. Let's get on with it.

Phone line is isolated.

Perimeter is established.

Hello?

- Ali Hussein?
- Yeah.

This is the police negotiator.

As you can see, your house
is surrounded by armed police.

There is no avenue
for you to escape.

All the police that you can see

are here for the safety of those
inside and outside the house.

Shit, man. What's going on?

What I need you to do
is follow my instructions,

and no one will get hurt.

Now, how many people
are inside the house?

Three.

Fucking cops are here.

- What's going on?
- They've got machine guns.

Okay.

The police are here.
They want us to go outside.

What is going on?
What do they want?

I don't know.

Don't move!

- Don't move!
- Don't move!

Get your hands on your
head! Move to the front door!

Police! Don't move!

Hands on heads! Hands on heads!

- Come forward, miss!
- Back to the front door.

Stand up.

- I haven't done anything.
- Move to the front door!

Move out now.

Yeah, that's three
in the first house,

five in the second house.

How many were
in the first house?

Three.

We've only got two.
There's still one inside.

Police, don't move!

Police! On the ground!

Hands on your head!

Ahmed!

Ahmed!

Call an ambulance!

Ahmed!

Ahmed!

Who secured the bloody street?

Ahmed! Ahmed!

Look what you've just done!

What the hell happened?

Kid panicked and ran.

Big men in black,
pointing M4s and M5s.

Of course he panicked. Now
he's in ICU fighting for his life.

You want to know why
he panicked and ran?

They're illegal immigrants.

His mother couldn't
produce a Medicare card

at the hospital.

We called DIMA. Turns
out they're both illegal.

What are you saying?

He's illegal, therefore he ran,

therefore he
deserves what he got?

What I'm saying is the
TOU boys did their job.

At least they're
clear about that.

You're either an
Arab, or you're a cop.

We were about here
when the car pulled up,

and two blokes jumped out.

So why did you start running?

- We were late for a bus.
- Which bus is that, mate?

- The 274 to Parramatta.
- 274 to Parramatta.

There's one thing that
doesn't make sense to me.

You live on Hartford
Street, but you just told us

you went to May Street
to your mate's place.

If you go down Perry
and onto Bishop,

which takes you past
the service station.

But you don't go that. You
go the long way around.

So what?

So why'd you go
the long way around?

It's just the way we went.
It's the way we always go.

How often do you do that?

Whenever we both have
a 10:00 tutorial at uni.

Two young men
fitting your description

held up that service
station at 9:30 a.m.

I heard it on the
news. It wasn't us.

15 minutes before

you and your mate
were first spotted.

I just told you. We didn't
go past the service station.

- We went the other way!
- Let's hear your version.

You're running along
here, and what happened?

A blue Toyota pulls up,
and two guys jump out of it

and start coming
at us with guns.

And we're going,
"Where'd they come from?"

- We didn't know they were cops.
- Then what happened?

Well, Talal is
screaming at me to run.

So I bolted this way,
and I get to about here,

and I hear a gunshot.

And I turn around, and one
of the guys are on the floor.

- One of who?
- One of the cops.

Oh, come on, Ali. You
didn't know they were cops.

- You said so yourself.
- How were we supposed to know?

They weren't in uniforms.
They didn't have a police car.

I think when they
said, "Stop! Police!"

that may have given
you a bit of hint, eh?

They didn't say "police."

Ali, tell us the truth,
and we'll work it out.

- But don't lie.
- Look, I'm not lying, okay?

They never said they were cops.

When someone comes out of a car

and has a gun and
starts chasing you,

you're not gonna stop
and figure out who they are.

You're gonna run, okay,
like that kid the other day.

Yeah, mate, just a tip...
Stick the facts, will you?

- Where was the cop?
- Where was he, buddy? Over here?

Was he over here?

Further back.

Further back? Was
he over here, was he?

Yeah.

So you heard the shot,
you turned around?

Where was Talal?

- He was running.
- Where'd he go?

Come on, you're mates, right?
You must know where he is.

- Where is he?
- I told you, I don't know.

Well, I'll tell you something.

Just a friendly little
tip from me to you.

You better start
thinking about it

because we're not gonna
leave you alone until you do.

Thanks for your assistance.

Ali, you're not doing
Talal any favors.

Are you sure you
don't know where he is?

I'm worried about him. His
mum's worried about him.

If he's out there on his
own, anything could happen.

Last time he got into trouble,

he went to his
cousin's at Penrith.

Okay? I tried calling there,
but there was no answer.

Okay. Thanks. Let's go.

Hey, don't think they
respect you, okay?

'Cause at the end of
the day, you're one of us.

And when you turn your
back, they're gonna do it to you.

Yeah. All right.

Talal's cousin in Penrith
says he hasn't seen him,

but the gun he keeps
in his shed is missing.

Great. So he could be armed.

Yeah.

How is he?

His arm is badly crushed,
but they tell me he will survive.

Okay.

How about you? How are you?

They are sending us back.

Look, I might be able to
get some legal help, all right?

I'll make some inquiries.
I'll see what can be done.

Why do they do this to us?

Why does this happen to Ahmed?

He has hurt no one.

Curse this place.

I wish I had never
set foot in this country.

Can't you sleep?

I've been waiting for
you to come home.

Who are we versing this weekend?

Concord Warriors, isn't it?

You thrashed
them last time, 7-2.

- Dad?
- Yeah?

I don't mind you
kissing me at home,

but not at school and
not at the game, okay?

Okay. Promise.

Come to bed.

They went in too soon.

Well, maybe you should be
more careful what you tell them.

I've got to tell
them what I know.

But always the
minute you find out?

You give them every little
tidbit the moment you get it

because you're afraid
they won't trust you.

If I withhold anything
and they find out,

they'll never trust me again.

But you know how they'll react.

It's not dishonesty,
Zane. It's timing.

How's the boy?

Alive.

But they're sending him home.

Nothing like a bit
of favorable PR.

- What happened?
- Never mind.

Young men behave like idiots.

They got nothing better
to do, stir up more trouble.

- What did they do?
- They opened the furnace.

They get angry and
behave like idiots.

Grab your bags. I'll
drive you to school.

- I don't want to drive.
- Mummy, we want to walk.

Hurry up. I've got
a meeting at 8:30.

I don't want to be late.

You go, habibi. I'll take them.

No way. I'm walking.

Amir.

What? Everyone else
walks. Why can't I?

Because it's not safe for you.

I don't care. I'm
not going in the car.

There you go.
This look like you.

Sit down.

All right, have a
good day, all right?

I'll see you.

- Bye, Daddy!
- Bye, Yassie.

Critical incident team's
coming through tomorrow.

We all need to be
on the same page.

Well, there's only
one page to be on.

It was an accident.

Yeah, I know
that, you know that,

but hindsight's a
powerful weapon.

The kid ran onto the
road during an operation.

We all wish it hadn't happened,

but it doesn't make the
decision to go in there wrong.

Yeah.

Oh, God, I must have managed
a total of two hours last night.

Yeah, hot nights.
No one's sleeping.

Yeah, but it's been
weeks. I've tried everything.

I lie in bed thinking,
if this goes on,

I'll have to be carried
off in a straitjacket.

Yeah, it eats away
at you, doesn't it?

Well, how do you deal with it?

- You really want to know?
- No, no, all right. Maybe not.

Anyway, any chance
these guys get

to have me tipped back down
to sergeant, they're gonna use it.

Well, if you want
to be commissioner,

you've just got to
beat the bastards.

Oh, is that what I want, is it?

Yeah. But you won't
admit that until you're there.

Well, if pigs ever fly,
I'll have you to thank.

Hey, Zane.

I thought you might like to know

we got a positive
gunshot residue result

on the swabs off
Talal Labban's clothing.

We also got a positive
on the swabs of John Duff.

- His clothing?
- And his hands.

What's up with Callas and Lim?

Callas had a call
from an informant

who said that one of the Lakemba
armed robberies last month

was done by a
couple of Chileans.

These are the two men of
Middle Eastern appearance?

Our service station
attendant was pretty convinced

that they were Lebanese.

Yeah, "Robber Di Nero."

He wouldn't know the difference
between Lebanese and Chinese.

Hey, "dinero." That's
Spanish for money, right?

- How would I know?
- No, trust me, it is.

If these Chileans
did do the stickup,

maybe that's what
they were saying...

Get the dinero, get the money.

Which means when they
pulled over Talal and Ali,

they had the wrong guys.

Maybe there's no connection

between the robbery
and the shooting.

Hey, John, how are you managing?

Must be tough, mate.

Anything I can do?

No, no. It's all... I
think it's all done.

Yeah.

Poor bastard.

You know Mick Johnson
was godfather to his kids?

Jesus.

- When's the funeral?
- Ah, it's Wednesday.

You allowed to go, are you?

What, to a Christian
funeral? Yeah.

Same god, different name.

What, you think that someone

was looking out for
old Mick Johnson?

You reckon there's someone
on the other side, do you?

There's nothing there.

I want to go over
some details with Duff.

What for?

I have a few questions

in light of Ali Hussein's
statement yesterday.

Now, listen, he was
thoroughly interviewed

by the critical incident team

two hours after the
incident occurred.

I've read the statement.
I've still got some questions.

- He's been through enough.
- I'll make it quick.

You want to reinterview
him, I'm gonna be there.

- He came at you from the side?
- Yeah.

- How'd he get the gun?
- Wrenched it out of my hand.

Before or after you
fell to the ground?

Ah, before.

He grabbed the gun
and pushed me sideways.

So you were on the ground here.

And where was he when
he fired the shot at Johnson?

Here. He fired one shot.

Mick went down,
and he ran that way.

What'd you do?

I picked up the gun
and radioed for help.

Let's start again from
where you pulled up.

You got out. Guns drawn?

- Yeah.
- What'd you say?

Told them to stop,
get on the ground.

How did you identify yourself?

Like I said in the
first statement,

we yelled, "Stop! Police!"

The suspects say
you didn't say "police."

- Well, then they're deaf.
- Okay. Then what?

Then they start yelling
at each other in Arabic,

and then one of them ran.

John, do you want to
take a moment to consider

if you might have
left something out?

What, you think I'm
not telling you the truth?

No, I want you to be
clear in your own mind

and tell me everything
you remember.

Yeah, I left out the bit where
my partner looks up at me,

bullet in his back, and tells
me to look after his family.

John, the details on
how you lost the gun,

how it was actually taken
from you, they're light.

The suspect's denying that
anyone took it from you at all.

Don't you think
I've been over this

a thousand times in my head?

I don't know.

One minute I'm pointing my
gun at the bastard doing a bolt,

the next minute, the other
one's reefing it out of my hand.

Okay, so he grabbed
it off you. Then what?

- He shot Mick in the back.
- Then what?

- He ran.
- What happened to the gun?

He dropped it five
meters from me.

I wasn't gonna leave it there.

All right, John. Thanks.

I didn't know you were
after a job with the toecutters.

You'd be a real
pinup boy for I.A.

The GSR tests were positive
on John Duff's jacket and hands.

He was within a
meter of the gunshot.

Well, that explains the jacket.

Could have got GSR
when he reholstered the gun.

Ali was running when
he heard the shot.

He turns around, Talal's here.

He didn't see a
weapon in his hand.

Duff says Talal wrestled the
gun from him, fired once, ran,

dropped the weapon,
which is found here.

One of them's got it wrong.

These are businesses.
This is a school, right?

You want to tell me
there were no witnesses?

Let's get back out there.

We'll talk to the residents,
the teachers, the workers.

Someone must
have seen something.

Let's go, mate.

Thank you very much
for your assistance, ladies.

- Ta.
- What about this place?

Resident was approached.
Said she saw nothing.

- Poor English, eh.
- Oh, we'll get over that.

Assalamu alaikum.

Koa.

Talal Labban's been
sighted by a patrol car

near an industrial
estate out at Canterbury.

Yeah, no worries, mate. Ta.

Malik.

Malik! We got to go, mate.

- He didn't do it.
- They've found him.

Who? Talal?

He's armed. Shots
have been fired.

You're waiting for
the negotiators, right?

Yeah.

- Zane! Zane!
- Where's he going?!

Where's Crowley?

Bloody hell is he
doing? Is he mad?

- Got to get him out of there.
- Wait.

He's got a witness.
Suspect's innocent.

The suspect is armed!

Talal! I want to
help you, Talal.

Talal! I'm Zane Malik!

He's behind the carriage. I
want every angle covered.

You're a cop! Piss off!

Talal! I spoke to
your family, Talal.

- I spoke to your family.
- Leave my family out of this!

They're worried about you,
Talal! They're good people.

Your mum and your
dad, they're good people.

You're not a criminal.

Get back, or I'll
blow your head off!

You get back now.

Shit!

What options have we got?

Suspect is still armed.

We have a possible
hostage situation.

I didn't fly a plane into the
World Trade Tower either,

but I may as well have!

Because I'm an Arab!
And Arabs are terrorists!

And murderers and liars.

You're not with us.

They'll never accept us,
no matter what we do, mate.

Listen to me, all right?

I respect you,
Talal. I respect you.

- But they... they don't!
- Then fight for it, Talal!

You got to earn
their respect, all right?

Prove to them
that you deserve it.

You don't get respect
waving a gun around.

We have the go-ahead
for lethal force if necessary.

You're out there
helping the refugees.

Huh?

Sheik Al'Alwani told me you
got a high distinction at uni.

So what are you doing here,
huh? You're not a criminal.

Ali is not a criminal.

So why were they
pointing guns at us, then?

They got you mixed up
with someone else, all right?

Now tell me what happened.
Talk to me. Talk to me.

Two guys jumped
out of a car with guns.

All right. So, what'd you do?

A-Ali ran.

I-I turned and I saw one of them

was gonna shoot
Ali in the back, so I...

So I... So I pushed him,
and then the gun went off,

and the man chasing
Ali got copped in the back.

So you didn't shoot anyone.

I didn't shoot anyone.

I got a witness.

A woman... an Arab
woman... All right?

She didn't come forward
'cause her English isn't very good,

but she's agreed to testify.

All right?

Yeah.

No, no, no. They're
not gonna believe me.

- They're not gonna believe...
- They're gonna believe her.

If she testifies, they're
gonna believe her.

I'm not saying
you're in the clear,

but there's a big difference

between pushing someone
you didn't know was a cop

and shooting someone
with intent to kill.

All right?

I just want to
help you, all right?

I just want to go home, man.

Give me the gun.
We'll sort it out.

- We'll sort it out.
- Okay.

- All right?
- Can you take...

- I just want to go home.
- All right.

Hold your fire!

Shit.

- Call an ambulance.
- Hold your fire!

Stop!

Hang on, mate. Easy.

Hang on, mate.

Hang on. Ambulance
is on its way.

Just hang on.

He didn't shoot anyone.

Duff shot Johnson.

You lied.

Why?

I didn't lie.

It all happened so
fast, I didn't know w...

I didn't... well, I wasn't sure.

No, you weren't sure.

But the moment you remember,

the memory that's
gonna stick in your gut

and keep you awake at night

is when you looked down and
you saw the gun in your hand...

and you just tossed
it on the ground.

'Cause that's how
it happened, isn't it?

There's no CPR.

You didn't try and
save your partner's life.

You just stood there.

And you were trying to
figure out what was worse...

Having to admit you
accidentally shot your partner...

or sustaining a lie
that's gonna haunt you

for the rest of your life.

'Cause you see, John,

it's not just your word
against some Arab kid now.

Now we've got a witness.

He... He pushed me.

And w-when I tried
to regain my balance...

my finger must have
squeezed the trigger and...

It was an accident.

Of course it was an accident.

Of course it was an accident.

But by covering it up, you've
perverted the course of justice.

There'll be an
I.A. investigation

and you could go to jail.

And you should go to jail.

- Um, I'll meet you at the car.
- Yeah.

John Duff's making
a second statement.

So one thing's for sure,
his career's finished.

Yeah? Well, at
least he's still alive.

Jesus.

Look, if you had waited
for the police negotiator,

that boy still might be here.

He was cornered like an
animal with nothing to lose.

He needed to know
he had a chance.

Well, I'll tell you
what I'll do for you.

Next time you want
to pull a stunt like that,

play the hero, charge in, I
won't try and save your life.

I'll let your head
get blown off.

You're a murdering bastard.

And you're a mad Arab.

And I am gonna do you.

He can't even get himself
a glass of milk anymore.

But someday, the person
who did this to him will die

and have to face what he's done.

I want him forced to face
what he's done in this life.

Bad heroin is flooding
Redfern. It's killing our youth.

- You want to start a riot?
- Well, it is Redfern, Malik.

He's telling me that
there's gonna be

a hit in Redfern, then,
boom, King's blown away.

Kid's been conditioned
to hate police.

Maybe he's got cause.

Maybe King was killed

'cause he was trying to
get heroin out of Redfern.

Maybe he was killed
because he was a prick.

What the hell is going on?

The heroin was
adulterated with quinine.

He's got priors with heroin.

He's a scumbag dealer,
but is he a murderer?

This is bullshit. I'm
gonna talk to them myself.

Yeah, over my dead body.

He comes to me.

No, don't tell me lies,
'cause I don't like it.

I told you that.

Hey, what does Muhammad say

about a man who
takes the life of another?

The man who has killed,
his life can be taken in return.

It's up to the
relatives of the dead.

They can be merciful.

Or not.
