and I'll give you

a look at my gun.

Show me your gun first.

Let me hold it.

You're not allowed to look at it!

Thanks, little brother.

Heard you was back.

How ya been, Mary?

Not bad.

What you up to?

Oh, not much.

Just workin'.

Ah, still workin' hard.

Yeah, uh... heard you

were a big detective now.

Yeah.

Guess so.

So you must be on good money, eh?

You look good.

Yeah?

Except for...

You know what I'm like.

I'm not gonna back away

from a fight, am I?

Is Crystal home?

You here about Julie?

You know about her?

So, what?

You're just here for work?

Not here to see your daughter?

Crystal!

Your father wants ya.

What you been doin'?

Oh, nothin'.

Just Facebookin' and watchin' TV.

What happened to you?

Just fightin'.

How you goin' with your mother?

Still drinkin'?

All the time.

You know Julie Mason's dead.

Are you good friends with Tarni?

Sort of.

What did Julie call you about?

Nothin' much.

Was she in trouble?

She never said anything about it.

Did you know

she was goin' with truckies?

Out on the highway?

Crystal, maybe you should

come live with me for a while.

What for?

Get out of here for a few

months. It'll do you good.

Or what about I get a job for ya?

I don't know.

Like in a dress shop or something.

What am I gonna do

in a dress shop?

Jay boy.

Hey, Johnno.

What you doing out here

in the middle of the night?

Oh, you know, working late.

You work too hard,

Jay boy, too hard.

You should learn to

relax a bit, eh?

Maybe you should ask Sarge.

Ask Sarge for a bit of down time.

Yeah, I wish.

Yeah, don't we all.

Don't we all.

What about you guys?

What are you doing?

I don't know. Just doing

a bit of intelligence.

Intelligence work.

Intelligence work, eh?

Yeah. Intelligence work.

We've been working out here

a long time now, a long time.

Gone a long, long way

to get where we are.

Is that right?

Yeah.

And we'd really hate

for someone to come along

and f*** up all the hard work.

Hey, can I, um...

can I ask you something,

if you don't mind, eh?

You know, from one cop to another.

You ever... ever kill anyone?

Come on, Johnno.

No, I mean by accident.

Sounds like you're the one

who needs a break.

No, seriously, Jay boy.

Would you... would you tell

anyone? You know, if you did?

I mean, if you could... you know,

if you could get away with it,

would you tell anyone?

Is there something

you wanna tell me, Johnno?

Nah, I'm just f***in' with ya,

Jay boy! I'm just f***in' with ya!

Yeah, well,

I better get home to sleep.

Yeah, good idea, Jay.

Good idea.

Mate, maybe we could

go out for a feed sometime.

Have a bit of a yarn.

Hmm? Bit of a yarn.

Yeah, maybe.
