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.

a detective unit in the area...

What is this?

Copy that,

- Yeah, city west 102.

Eta, three to five minutes.

Carl, I'm gonna go now.

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.
