The Whistleblower Page #2

caused by the edge of an iron.

Left arm was the first entry point

of a large kitchen knife.

Okay Mama,

I'm just going to lift this up.

It's all right, it's okay.

Who did this?

Looks like the husband.

Okay, that's the case.

Who's taking it

and what's their first step?

I will take it.

Very good.

All right. All right.

All right. Calm down. Calm down.

What did he say?

Say woman is Muslim

and she deserved it.

That's enough.

Stop it!

Hands off.

Moving on.

Next case.

Go.

Everyone outside.

Kathy, you too.

Excuse me, Excuse me.

What do you mean moving on?

Who's going to investigate

and make an arrest?

- This is a felony assault.

- Okay, let me ask you something.

Can you tell a Serb from a Croat

or a Bosniak?

Because I can.

Racial hatred started a war

in this country.

And as much as I'd like to be,

we aren't here as investigators,

we monitor. That's it.

Sometimes stepping back

is part of the job.

Zlata has been in the hospital

eight times

because of her husband.

Each time she tried

to make complaint,

my bosses send her home.

They laugh at her.

They laugh at women in Bosnia.

They laughed at my mother even.

And they do not prosecute

Yesterday you wanted to help.

Now you can show me

how to do this.

So this is the hospital report.

So if you go back to the hospital

and then you get every single

doctor who treated her to testify...

well, then you might have a chance.

- Oh hello.

- Hello.

Don't mind him.

He's a complete wimp.

Well, you've been stirring things up.

Ms. Rees, if I over-stepped protocol

with the Zlata Sehick case I'm...

Would you call me Madeleine?

You've just done in two months

what we failed to do in four years.

Sit down.

- Want some tea?

- Yes, please.

Viko Mezovic did a great job,

but you've just facilitated

the first conviction

for domestic violence

since the end of the war in Bosnia.

Well, it was very basic... Thank you.

Thank you... basic police work.

It's just my job.

You can't imagine how that makes

you stand out around here.

The IPTF have a Gender Affairs

Office here. And the current head

left and I think you're the right person

to take over.

Well...

Are you up for it?

Hello.

Hi, Sweetie.

Did you get the stuff I sent?

- Did Dad say you're not coming back?

- No.

Of course I'm coming back.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- For Labour Day?

- Well, I...

'Cause my friends are renting
