You know the drill.

Don't set up there.

This is a stupid spot to park.

- So, I, uh... heard

you took a shot yesterday.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, a very lucky one.

- Up too bloody early anyway,

aren't you?

- Don't worry, we'll have you

out of here in a minute,

so just, uh...

You know what?

- Actually, you guys

can piss off.

Get down there

beyond the truck, alright?

Take a hike.

Let's go. Come on.

Hey, I want tape up here,

across the road

in front of the van.

No-one gets through, alright.

Who's on traffic?

F***ing hell.

- Constable, come here.

- Yes, sir.

So, constable,

detective toohey's obviously

a colleague of mine,

and with all due respect,

detective, I believe you.

I know you to be

an upright citizen,

for the most part, anyway.

So I'd like you to be present

for the witness statement

if you would, for posterity,

whatever that means.

Yes, sir.

- It's your call, constable.

You stay and do this.

I'll oversee the forensics,

alright?

- Yes, sir.

Quite a character.

- Yeah, yeah.

- So run me through

what you saw.

- Uh, so I was driving up

around the bend,

I was traveling north

on my way home,

and... oh, well I saw the...

I saw the kid,

but I thought he was a shape

or I don't know what

on the road.

And I was just sort of stopped

here, and then there's,

in the middle Lane,

a car stopped,

just sort of idling with,

like, brake lights on.

But when I stopped,

he... he just took off.

That's when I came back

and then I made the call

to emergency.

That was about 15 minutes ago.

Ready in one, two, three.

- Has there been any word

on the kid?

- Well, they won't know until

they get him to the hospital.

Excuse me, officer?

What is going on?

- There's been an accident

just across the road.

Do you know his name?

He's in the ambulance?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Can you get one of these guys

to take me to a hospital?

- Please wait.

No, I need to go

to the hospital.

I need... no, I need to go now.

I need to go now.

No. Please,

take me to the hospital.

No, I need to go now.

I need to go now.

- I think we're just about

done here, mate.

- Uh-huh.

Yeah, look, I just can't

actually hear.

I've got the bloody

vacuum cleaner behind me.

What was that?

Oh, okay.

Yep, no worries.

Alright.

Cheers, mate.

Thank you.

- You want to sign this?

It's the statement

for the possible fail to stop.

Yeah, it's right down there

at the bottom.

- Mm-hm.

Hey, I'm looking at this file

and I'm just curious what got

you so into this Victor bloke.

I mean, you've got virtually

nothing on him, aside from...

Well, he's on

the offenders register...

- He did it.

Well, yeah, but...

- Well, watch the tape.

- That's a disc.
