A major task force investigation

continues into the shooting death of
State Police Constable Rick Barton.

Constable Barton
was shot and killed last week

after pulling over a speeding car.

A full police funeral
was held today in his honour.

Rick Barton was 20 years old.

Today we paid tribute
to one of our own,

who died defending his community.

It's been a week since
the death of Constable Rick Barton

and, thankfully,
some progress has been made.

Any information...

Hey. How'd you go?

..or your nearest police station.

The men and women of the force are
here to serve and support the public

and now we need your support.

We've identified a late-model blue
Monaro coupe as the vehicle...

I made soup.

..when he was shot.
Not really hungry.

As yet we have not found
this vehicle

and want to locate
both the car and the owner.

In other news,
the financial crisis...

You need to eat, Matt.

You don't wanna talk
and you can't sleep.

The least you can do is eat.

Unless...you wanna talk.

His poor mum.

Looks like he's been here
for a few days.

Found by a guy
on his way home from fishing.

Said he didn't touch anything.

Would have been the smell
that gave it away.

No ID on him but he looks well fed.
The latest threads.

Beaten, then shot at close range.
Execution-style.

He's just a kid.

What do you reckon? Gang thing?

No, that's Greek.

That says 'mother'.

Ex-boyfriend.

Yanni Georgiokopolis. 16.

His family reported him missing
four days ago.

Prior to that, he spent six months
in a youth training centre

for 'theft of motor vehicle'.

Yanni was an ace car-booster.
Gone in 60 seconds.

It took him longer than that to die.

The pathologist's
preliminary findings from the scene

are that he was given a good bashing,
then shot.

Simon - known associates,
especially ones with similar MOs.

And try to get us a list
of his favoured hangouts.

Yeah, I already got
a couple of leads on that, Sarge.

Build a picture of his movements

in the days immediately prior
to his disappearance.

And Matt and I are
paying the family a visit. Right?

Yeah.

Jen. I thought you were on
the Barton task force.

Yeah, the coffee's better there,

but the computer they've given me
is a relic.

So what's the lowdown?

Jarvis said there'd been progress
at the press conference.

And you bought it?

Progress is Jarvis's way of saying
time has passed.

The truth is we've got
50 people working round the clock

and nothing but dead ends.

Still, shooting a cop.
Killer can't stay hidden for long.

Assuming he's still around.
If it was me, I'd be long gone.

Hey, Matty, you worked
with his brother, right?

Sean. A solid cop.

From all reports
Rick would have been too.

I used to go round there
on my way home from the academy,

to drop Sean off.

Rick was always there.
The annoying little brother.

He'd follow us around, asking
questions about guns and gangsters.

He said he wanted to be a cop.
Just like us.

Is it him?

Yes, it is.

We're sorry for your loss.

But we will need
to talk to your parents

about your brother's movements,
his friends.

Talk to me. My parents won't be
much use to you.

How was Yanni killed?

He was beaten, then shot.

We can't give you the exact details.

Your brother had several arrests,
mainly to do with car thefts.

He was known to associate
with some pretty shady characters.

Can you give us anything
about any of them

that might be able to help us?

What's the point? It's too late now.

We will need one of you
to come down to do a formal ID.

Dad wanted to send him away
when he first went off the rails -

to live with
our cousins in Greece.

I promised him
that Yanni would be fine,

that it was just a phase.

Boys being boys.

Boys didn't do this.

Tell us who you think did it.

Roula, you've got
three other brothers.

You don't want your mother
to bury another son.

Heard the name Ibrahim Al Masri?
No.

You guys aren't
from my side of town.

Bad guy?
Understatement.

Al Masri and his mates have
the whole neighbourhood terrified.

Coburg's their turf.

You want a cheap car,
they're the ones you go to.

Otherwise, stay the hell away.

Your brother was involved
with Al Masri?

It started off with Yanni stealing
cars, just joy-riding, you know?

Thing is, he was very good at it -
and Al Masri saw possibilities.

What sort of possibilities?

Boosting cars
for more than joy-riding, I guess.

You're saying Yanni
was stealing cars professionally?

Look, I don't know for sure,

but suddenly he was
flashing around all this money,

and attitude.

I guessed what he was up to.

I tried talking to him about it,
but he wouldn't listen.

And Al Masri was the one paying him?

Yanni never admitted it.
But he wouldn't, would he?

Too scared?
Hell, yes!

These aren't people you cross.

Yanni did six months in juvie
rather than risk a run-in

with those pricks.

And what about you?
You're not scared?

Yeah, I'm scared. If Al Masri finds
out I've been talking to you...

We'll speak to Al Masri,
and keep your name out of it.

You might wanna talk to Ari too.

Ari?

Ari Christou. Our cousin. He and
Yanni did everything together.

He has to know something
about all this.

So where do we find cousin Ari?

Same place you find Al Masri.
At his wrecking yard.

I'm gonna call Duncan.

No,come on, are you two
on together, or what?

Those handcuffs
would come in handy, eh?

Yeah, just answer the question.
Or you'll be trying them on for size.

Oh, I think I might like that.
Yeah? Not as much as I would.

Yeah?
Uh.

- What you gonna do to me?
- You don't wanna find out.

Unless you want us to take you in
for a formal interview,

answer the question.

Yeah, I own the place. OK?
Owner-operator.

Progress.

We're looking for one of your
employees. Ari Christou.

Ari Christou. Ari Christou.
Never heard of him.

Our information
is that he works here.

Well, your information's wrong,
then, babe.

OK, well, you show us the books

and if it turns out he works here
and he's not on the books,

we can refer this to our colleagues
at Major Fraud, 'babe'.

Ari... Oh, Ari!
Yeah, no, he works here sometimes.

But he's not here now. I'll let him
know that you was looking for him.

I'll, um...I'll...
I'll leave a message.

You - show me some ID, now!

Ari Christou.

Nice to meet you, Ari.

- I'm not saying anything.
- Why not?

'Cause I've got better things to do
with my time than talk to you.

What's got you so scared, Ari?

I'm not scared.

When was the last time you saw
your cousin, Yanni Georgiokopolis?

Screw you.
Did you murder your cousin?

What? No! What...he's dead?

You're saying you didn't know that?

Yes! I didn't kill nobody.

So you wanna tell us where you were
four nights ago?

Make that seven.

What, more from Pathology?

Yeah, he's been dead
for at least a week.

Took the family three days
to report him missing.

Now, why would that be?

No! I just told you,
I didn't even know he was dead!

You don't seem surprised, upset.

Course I'm upset.
What do you want me to do? Cry?

What do you know
about your cousin's associates?

What?

Who did he hang out with?
Apart from you?

I don't know. And if I did,
I wouldn't be telling no Jacks.

Get in there and update them
on the estimated time of death.

Not that he's gonna change his tune.
Sarge.

Because it seems to me
and my colleague...

Stanley.

You know Detective Superintendent
Beck from Serious Crime?

Wolfe.
Superintendent.

Gary wants us to release
the Souvlaki Kid into his custody

once you're done.

Why?

We have an ongoing investigation -
seven months ongoing.

We think he might be able to help us.

With respect, sir,
help you with what?

We're investigating a murder here.

And murder trumps everything?

I'm not here to get into a pissing
contest, Terry. Tell him.

Serious Crime are unable to divulge
the details of their investigation

at this stage.

I know where they're coming from,
Stanley.

But they need to interview him.

You think this kid might be
your killer?

We have no evidence to that effect,

but we suspect
he can help us, yeah.

Fine. If you can nail the little
snot for murder, good for you.

Put him away for 20 years.

But even if that happens, I still
want to interview him. Clear?

Abundantly.

Your cousin was beaten
and then shot at point-blank range.

You wanna see what that looks like?

Or do you already know?
No!

You were close to him, weren't you?
I wasn't there!

He means close to the family.
Your uncle, your other cousins.

His brothers and sisters.

Think about
what they're going through.

I don't know nothing!
What about Al Masri?

What about him?

What does he know
about Yanni's death?

Nothing! I don't know.
I mean, ask him. I don't know!

Listen, Ari - I know these people
are heavy duty.

I understand that you're scared.

But if you talk to us, we can keep
you safe, we can protect you.

You understand what I'm saying?

What? Like, disappear?

If you have information
that can help us, we can help you.

You think you're being loyal,

but you're loyal
to the wrong people.

Your family are the ones
that matter, not Al Masri.

She's right. You're in over your head.

Look, I don't know who...
who killed Yanni.

If you change
your mind and decide to talk,

or if you need any help, and my bet
is you will, this is my number.

Look, I don't need no help.
Especially from a Jack.

Yeah, well, just in case, eh?

Not so fast, Mr Christou.

Superintendent Beck
from Serious Crime

has requested a further interview.

Your turn now, is it?
What do you want?

You can start with
losing the attitude.

Screw you.

He's scared, and I think
he's nearly ready to talk.

I'd like to have another crack.

Perhaps, Superintendent,
when you conclude the interview,

you could let Detective Ryan know.

Can do.

Great.

Jennifer.

Beck's gonna put him
through the wringer.

Might work for us, for the morning.
Wear him down.

Great. Thanks for the update.

The task force
have got a breakthrough

on the car involved
in the Constable Barton shooting.

They've found it?
No. Just the owner.

Returned to long-term parking
at the airport to find it missing.

They're circulating
registration to all personnel.

Well, at least it's progress.

In a week? Not enough damn progress.

What? What is it?

Hello.

Ari?

You said you'd help me.

Look, I need your bloody help, OK?
He's after me.

Who?
Who do you think?!

OK. Calm down. Where are you?

Matt?

They're gonna kill me.
I know they're gonna kill me.

Ari, I need you to focus.
Tell me where you are.

I'm in the deserted...pub, you know?

Next to the old factory...

Please! Please don't.

Please don't kill me...

Please, don't do it!

Please. I didn't do anything.
Ari?

Please, don't!

Ari!

They carted him away.
What time did you call it in?

About 2am. There were
two other calls. Shots heard.

That, plus a triangulation on the
mobile gave patrol a rough location.

But nothing found, huh?
No body, no.

Just the blood and...this mobile.

Sir, I thought we had
an understanding.

You were gonna call me when
you'd finished with Ari Christou.

That was the idea, yes.
No information on the body?

No, sir. So, what happened?

Looks like he went
and got himself shot, doesn't it?

I mean what happened
about you handing him back to us?

We either had to charge him
or release him.

Little turd knew his rights.

So you just put him out
onto the street?

It was his choice.
Sir, he was terrified.

And with good reason, apparently.
You should have called.

Remember who
you're talking to, Detective.

With respect sir,
I heard this man being murdered.

Wolfe, get this dickhead
away from me.

Detectives Ryan and Kingston,
get things moving with the uniforms.

Dead or injured, they took him away.

Maybe someone saw a car
or something.

Get on it.
Sarge.

Let me make something clear -

I don't have to explain my actions
to you or to anybody else,

least of all one of your detectives.

Point taken.

But I think it's time you started
sharing information, don't you?

We have a body in the morgue,

we've got another person missing,
possibly dead.

That's your problem, isn't it?
Yes, it is.

But if I have to,
I will ask Superintendent Jarvis

to go to the Assistant Commissioner
and demand your cooperation...

..sir.

The names of your dead guy
and his cousin Ari

came up in connection
with 1 3 missing late-model vehicles.

These cars were cloned
in Victoria and New South Wales

as part of a rebirthing,
scrap-metal export set-up.

How's that work?

Some vehicles are shipped out whole,

some are duplicated
in different States,

some are broken up for parts,
sold interstate,

but the bulk
are broken up for scrap metal.

Mainly for the Chinese market.
Yeah. It's big business.

And Yanni and Ari
were boosting the cars.

Yeah, them
and a dozen other kids.

They're all at the bottom
of the feeding chain though.

And at the top - Al Masri.

Yeah, he uses minors
to do his dirty work.

That way no-one risks
serious jail time.

The kids get off with probation,
a little stint in Youth Training.

And Al Masri remains a cleanskin.

He's smart.

That wrecking yard you visited -
it's mostly legit,

but it's a great front
for the illegal stuff,

however, it's not the actual site
for the chop shop.

That's what you wanted to talk
to Ari Christou about.

But he wouldn't give us anything.

And since we had nothing on him,
we had to cut him loose.

We put a tail on him for his own
protection, but he gave us the slip.

For his protection? Or so you could
follow him to the chop shop?

Alright, shut it, Ryan.

So, Gary, how long you been on this?

Seven months.

You still haven't gotten anywhere?

Like I said,
nothing sticks to Al Masri.

We've got all the major players,

we're just looking for
the material evidence.

Maybe you're closer to getting it
than you think.

Why, suddenly,
is Al Masri killing his drones?

He's just knocked off two of his
best car thieves.

Maybe he's scared.
Er, thinks someone's been talking.

They're not talking to us.
He could be getting edgy.

Al Masri's arrogant,

but he's not stupid enough
to think he's invincible.

You got what you need to know.

I'd appreciate a heads-up
if you locate Ari Christou.

Alive...

..or dead?

Either way.

That's the second time
you've gone Beck. What's going on?

Ari Christou was put out there
as bait

so Gary Beck could get a break
on his chop shop investigation.

Beck may have spent
seven months investigating,

but it looks like Ari just gave up
his life for the cause.

Beck doesn't care about people,
only results.

He's a self-serving prick.
And your superior officer.

And that superior officer
commands your respect.

Y es, Sarge.

Now, I want you to talk to Yanni
Georgiokopolis's sister again.

The rest of us will hit
the wreckers.

We need to find a way
to link the boy's death

and his cousin's disappearance
to Al Masri.

Sarge.

I'm aware tensions
are running high

since Constable Barton's death.

But I suggest you watch your step.

Superintendent Beck is not someone
you wanna tangle with.

Not you fellas again?
What is it this time?

Wanna check my super scheme
or something?

Your copy.

It's a warrant
to search these premises.

For what?

We're investigating a murder.

OK, I want you all down that side.
Search every inch of this premises.

You're not gonna find anything,
you know?

If you were talking about
your balls, I might agree with you.

You're wasting your time.

I don't know nothing
about any of these murders.

Who said there was more than one?

Why don't you answer the question.

I don't have to say anything to you.

It's all gonna come unstuck,
you know?

Piss off.

Something you need to see.

That's from the car Constable Barton
pulled over when he was shot.

I got no idea how that number plate
ended up in the yard.

Maybe someone broke
in and dumped it.

Why would they do that?
Well, it's obvious.

Trying to get me into trouble.

Oh, yeah?
So who do you think would do that?

Well, everyone's got enemies,
don't they?

What's he doing in here?

We found some material evidence, sir.

Has he said anything?

Nothing so far, but they're
about to turn up the heat.

Constable Barton was shot and killed
by somebody driving a blue Monaro

with that registration.

What do you have to say about that?

I got nothing to say.

'Cause I wasn't there
and I don't know nothing about it.

'Anything'. "l don't know
ANYTHlNG about it."

"l don't know nothing," means you
DO know something. Do you see?

And, as it happens, we agree
with you. You do know something.

Yanni Georgiokopolis was killed
the same night as that police officer.

Tell us about that.

OK. Yanni used to work for me
sometimes in the yard.

But that's all I know.

Doing what?
Anything I told him to.

Does that include boosting cars?

So are we gonna find
parts of this Monaro

scattered all round your yard,
Mr Al Masri?

I doubt it. It's a big yard.

Well, the place is crawling
with police right now.

So if it is there, we will find it.

Go for broke.
We will.

And when we do, you'll be linked
to the death of a police officer.

I wish I could help you,

but I don't know...anything
about any of these murders.

I'm an upright citizen.

Why wasn't I informed about this?

This is now a joint operation

between the Homicide squad
and Barton task force.

They've got an officer in there,
we've got an officer in there.

In the spirit of cooperation.

Mr Al Masri?
AL MASRl: I've got nothing to say.

He's not stupid enough
to murder a copper.

Have to be crazy
to do something like that.

You don't qualify?

I didn't shoot nobody, and I don't
know nobody who shot nobody.

And I got an alibi for that night.

Oh, what were you doing?

Drinking with some mates.
I can give you names.

As many as you like.

That's all we're gonna get
out of him.

Let me have a go at him.

Sorry, but your chop shop
needs to take a back seat.

A cop's been murdered.
You know that takes priority.

Sir. Superintendent Beck, he was in
the Armed Robbery Squad, wasn't he?

Yeah.

At the same time it was disbanded
for corruption?

Detective Ryan, as you know
with Superintendent Waverley,

just because
they point the finger at you

doesn't guarantee you're crooked.

So you be careful
where you point your finger.

You might get it bitten off.

Sir.

Some of you know one another.
Some of you don't. I don't care.

You're not here to make friends.

Fact is, all your investigations
are cooking in the same oven,

so it makes sense
to exchange recipes.

Constable Barton
was killed nine days ago

and we still have not nailed
the prick who did it.

Our most likely suspect
is Ibrahim Al Masri.

Who just hightailed out of here
with his fancy lawyer

and his middle finger
pointed squarely in our direction.

Now, I don't know about you,

but I would love to wipe the smile
off that smug bastard's face.

Homicide have been
looking at Al Masri

in relation to the murder
of Yanni Georgiokopolis

and the disappearance
of Ari Christou.

The murder of Ari Christou.

His body was found
a couple of hours ago.

His injuries match what you heard
on the phone, Matt. Shot twice.

Close range.

OK, so the number plate
from the wreckers

is not the only connection
between these two cases.

Pathology have confirmed that
Yanni Georgiokopolis was murdered

on the same night
as Constable Barton.

The same night Ari Christou
came home all covered in blood.

These are not coincidences.
There has to be a connection.

The car was stolen.
Yanni and Ari boost cars.

They panic.
They shoot Constable Barton.

Then Al Masri comes
to clean up the mess,

make sure the kids' mistake
doesn't rub off on his business.

I don't buy it.
These kids steal cars all the time.

No way they'd kill a cop
just to avoid a few months in juvie.

Unless there's something else going
on in that car we don't know about

to make it worth their while.

What if we're talking about
a complete crossover?

Maybe Yanni was already dead
when Barton pulled up the car.

He sees blood all over Ari.

And Ari's about to get done
for murder, so he's desperate.

Makes sense.

Except for the fact
that Ari's now dead.

Ah...Ari wasn't the only person
in the car.

According to
the latest eyewitness statement,

there were three people in the car.

Which brings us back
to our friend here.

OK, so we refocus on the boys,

with Constable Barton
as a potential witness, now deceased.

Ryan, you've got a visitor.

What are the rest of you
waiting for, an invitation?

Get out there,
find me some hard evidence.

Let's pull this together. Chop, chop!

Roula. How can I help?
I was just at my aunt's.

Your people are searching Ari's
room, going through his stuff.

She's shaking, wailing. She's a mess.

I understand
this must be hard for her,

but Ari is dead
and we need to investigate.

I know. So maybe I can help you.

How?
They're not gonna find anything.

The family's already been through Ari's
room, they've taken things away.

What things?

They say it's to protect him,
to protect the family's reputation.

But I think
it's because they're scared.

Your people find anything,
it looks like they helped.

What things were taken, Roula?

Phone numbers. Photos, of Ari and
Yanni with Al Masri and his mates.

Posing with guns, she said.
Big grins on their faces.

You have these photos?

No. She burned them.
Like she burned his clothes.

The clothes with the blood on them?

The ones Ari was wearing
the night Yanni disappeared.

That was the same night
a police officer was shot.

You said you may be able to help us.

But what you're telling me
isn't exactly helpful.

Potential evidence
has been destroyed.

There is something, though.

My aunt said she went through
Ari's pockets

before she burned the clothes.

She said she found
a lot of money in his pockets,

and a bill from a restaurant
for that night.

What restaurant?

No. I don't remember either of them.

Don't get many Greek boys in here.

You people just can't come in here
waving around police identification.

It's not good for business.

We know this boy
was in here a week ago.

Do you remember who he was with?

I have many customers. How am l
supposed to remember them all?

Wonder if any of your other
patrons were here that night.

Maybe we should talk to them.
Or maybe call the health inspector.

I'm sure he'd love
a look around your kitchen.

So what's it to be?

Look, there are people
you do not go against.

Not in any way.

We know for a fact that
this guy was here. Now he's dead.

So is that guy.
Were they together?

If I tell you anything, I help you,
I'll be dead like them.

Fine. Let's go see
these people here, Matty.

I'm sure they'll help us.
Righto.

No-no. Wait.

The first boy, he booked a table.

He met with the other boy.

And?

They ate a meal. The first boy
seemed scared, nervous.

The other was relaxed.

Then a third one arrives, but not to eat.

He calls to them and they leave.

The third one.
Was it Ibrahim Al Masri?

No, no, no. Not him.
Another young man.

They started out together,
then suddenly, this one,

he seemed scared, didn't want to go.

They almost drag him out.

Describe the third guy.

It was not Al Masri.
I did not say that.

We heard you. Describe the guy.

About the same age
as the others. Tall.

Blond here. Long at the back.

Um...a baby beard.
What happened?

I was curious.

I looked out the window and saw them
pushing the nervous boy into the car.

Then the car drove away.

That's all I saw. I swear.

Who drove?
Who was in the front seat?

I didn't see.

Was it one of these guys?
No. They all got in the back.

What did the car look like?

A car is a car. It was blue.

Like this one?
Yes. Like this one.

This car was involved in the killing
of a police officer!

It's been all over the TV for a week!
You must have seen it!

I don't watch television.
I run a restaurant!

We need proper ID of the third guy -
the one with the beard.

You can come down the station
and do a face-fit.

No! No, I told you all I know.

If I come to the police station,
I'll be dead too.

They kill me if they know I do this.
OK.

We'll bring the mountain to Mohammed.

Now. Tonight.

Emma.

Er, you've missed Matt.

Er, I tried calling,
but his phone's off.

Yeah, it's pretty full-on in here
at the moment.

There's cops who've hardly been home
since Constable Barton was shot.

Matt's out chasing a lead.

It's official. I'm stalking
my own boyfriend, aren't l?

Are you OK?

Are you scared of getting killed?

It's an occupational hazard.

You don't...think about it.

You can't.

It's like the things
that we see on the job.

You can't dwell on them,

otherwise you'd never
get out of bed in the morning.

Matt never talks about it.

That's because
he doesn't want you to worry.

You are the best thing
that has happened to Matt

in...forever.

He doesn't wanna
bugger it up with work.

I wanna help him.

You do help him. Trust me.

I'd better go.
Er, just let him know I dropped by.

Oh, there's some frittata
for him in the fridge.

Enough for all of you.
Oh, legend.

The beard, not so thick.

The hair - er, blond at the front.

Yes.

Thanks for the update.

Just had Jarvis on the phone.
Al Masri has given our dogs the slip.

You're kidding.

How's it going here?

We now know there were
four people in the car -

the three boys
in the back and the driver.

Crime Scene Report shows that
the shot came from the driver's seat.

Odds on it was Al Masri at the wheel.

The eyes - wider apart.

A little.

The nose - broader.

Y es, yes.

That's it. That's him.

Circulate that image immediately.

We need to find him
before Al Masri does.

I thought my chop shop operation
was old news. Now you need my intel?

We believe this man was a witness
to Constable Barton's death.

And since we lost our last witness,

he may be our best chance
of getting to Al Masri.

His street name's Mags.
He's a road-racer.

Any idea where we might find him?

Well, he won't be at home
if Al Masri's after him.

Well, I can't imagine us picking him up
at the next road race.

If he's smart, he'll be laying low.
He's not smart.

But you're right,
he won't be racing.

We impounded his vehicle
a few weeks ago.

Sarge, we just got a hit
on the head shot.

Worker in the local chicken'n'chip
joint recognised Mags.

Saw him enter that warehouse.

Uniforms are posted round the back.

What's Beck doing here?

He cut a deal with Jarvis.

Said he'd feed intel if he was
allowed in on the operation.

OK, let's move. Simon and Allie,
you're with the Superintendent.

Matt, you're with me.

Police! Stop!
Right there! Don't move!

Keep your hands up in the air
where I can see them!

It's cool!
Just keep 'em in the air.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.
Keep 'em high.

Well, that was easy.

Righto. Bring 'em down. Come on!

You went to arrest this Mags kid
and Al Masri was there?

Correct.
The force's most wanted man.

My team are not to blame.
I'm not blaming your team, Stan.

Five armed detectives,
not to mention countless uniforms -

how the bloody hell
did Al Masri get away?

This is not a rhetorical question.
How did it happen?

I had Uniform secure
the rear of the building.

They were guarding against Mags
coming out, not someone going in.

I issued a KALOF on Al Masri
to all patrols...

You know as well as I do,
uniforms don't read those alerts.

Come on, Stan, this is not
the time to drop the ball.

I agree. But even if we had Al Masri,
we have nothing to charge him with.

Crap, Stanley. The rat's
a cop killer. There's ways and means.

OK, but we now have
a witness downstairs

who can put Al Masri in that car,

who saw him pull the trigger on Yanni
Georgiokopolis and Constable Barton.

Well, go on, Stan. Get in there.

What I don't understand
is how did Al Masri know

where to find Mags
in the first place?

Same way we did. Word on the street.
Or someone tipped him off.

Yeah, like who?

I never seen 'em before.

So you don't know
these two young men?

Nah.

That's funny, because you were seen
with both of them

the night this one died.

I didn't kill him.
No. But you know who did, don't you?

Go get him, Stanley.

Progress report, sir.

I've got uniforms stationed
at Al Masri's home,

the wreckers, all his local haunts,
even his grandma's house.

Transport?

Bus terminals, train stations,
passport control all notified.

He'll come up for air.
Scum always rises to the top.

Come on, Stan. We need a name.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

We know that you and Ari Christou

took Yanni Georgiokopolis from
that restaurant to the blue Monaro.

You were seen.

Nobody'll say that. Not in court.

Maybe not. But you can.

And, if you do,
and you were not directly involved

in the murder of this young man
or that police officer,

we can put you somewhere safe.

You can disappear, start again.

Clean slate.
No fines to pay off, no worries.

No car.

The car can be arranged.

It's only been impounded,
not crushed.

Yet.

These blokes love their cars
more than their girlfriends.

He will try it again.

I want it in writing -
the witness protection thing.

You tell us what you know first.

Yanni was doing just fine, you know?

But he wanted a car. Like mine.

So he'd started
boosting some wheels for himself -

you know, selling them on the side.

Al Masri couldn't let that happen.

So he tells you and your mate
to go and kill him?

No, man. The idea was just
to give Yanni a good beating.

So how did he end up dead?

We get to this park and, you know,
we give him a bit of a kicking.

And then suddenly Al Masri comes in

with a baseball bat
and steel toecaps.

He beat him so bad
we were all covered in blood.

And then he shot him.

Just like that.

We were just supposed
to teach the guy a lesson.

So you were sitting in the car
with a dead body

when Constable Barton
pulled you over.

No. We're not stupid.
He was in the boot.

But the copper
saw the blood all over us.

So Al Masri shot him.

Gotcha.

Just got word from patrol, sir.

Al Masri's been sighted
at the car wreckers.

Get them out of there.
I want everyone down there now. Go.

Keep your gun on the door.

Cops!
Draw 'em out front!

Go!

Stop! Police. Drop the gun!

Police. On the ground!

- Now! Down!
- We'll check out the back!

Right, you. Just stay where you are.

It was him or me.

I had no choice.

Good on you, guys.

Jeez, anyone'd think he'd done it
all on his own.

Did you talk to Emma last night?

She was asleep when I got in
and I left before she woke up.

Why?
She was in here yesterday.

You should probably talk to her.
Yeah. I will.

Thanks, mate.

That was a good result today, sir.

You must be pleased -
taking out a cop killer.

There's gonna be a lot of people
wanting to shake your hand.

Still, it's a shame.

Now we'll never know
about the chop shop.

The location.

And how Al Masri managed
to keep it hidden.

It's like he had
someone on the inside.

If you make
any accusations against me,

no matter how veiled,
or how bloody inaccurate,

I will have your badge
and your balls.

Now, I understand you were close
to the, er, Barton brother.

This time I'll let it slide.

You're overwrought.

We found the man who murdered Rick.
