HASTINGS:

So you didn’t administer first aid?

HARI:

Well you hope you’ll know what to

do in them situations. Till it

comes to it.

Hari looks ashamed.

Keying the remote, Steve shows images relating

to the following dialogue.

Image = a ballistic diagram showing a gun

pointed upwards from a man’s chest and a bullet

track travelling vertically upwards through the

jaw into the brain.

STEVE:

Image 297:
a ballistic simulation

of the bullet’s trajectory. It

appears the fatal shot was fired in

a position close to Sergeant

Waldron’s chest and aimed upwards.

HASTINGS:

That how it happened, Constable?

HARI:

Yes, sir.

DOT:

The forensics detected firearms

residue on your hands, Victor

Charlie Five Four, and the hands of

your mates, Victor Charlie Five Two

and Five Three. So that would all

seem to fit. Case closed. We can

all knock off early.

Dot sarcasm hangs in the air.

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERCUT.

There is an alternative explanation

that gun.

As I said, sir, we were trying to

get it off him.

HASTINGS:

You weren’t trying to force that

firearm under Waldron’s chin?

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. INTERVIEW ROOM. INTERCUT.

Jackie’s interview. Jackie wipes away tears.

JACKIE:

That’s just a horrible accusation.

We tried to save Danny.

STEVE:

Who grabbed the gun first?

JACKIE:

Hari did, Sir. Sorry. Victor

Charlie Five Four. I didn’t even

know that Danny had drawn his gun

and the next minute Hari’s

wrestling him for the gun and he’s

shouting, “Danny, no!” and he’s

calling for me and Rod to help him.
