Fitzroy 203, go ahead.

- Uh, it's- - Just slow down, please.

Fuck.

Fitzroy 203, can you repeat that?

- Sorry this is Fitzroy 203. - You've got to calm down.

It's Waheed Karam, he's got a gun, he's got a gun

and he's going to- Kit!

Fitzroy 203, say again, over.

- He's going to- - Come on, Kit.

Fitzroy 203?

Syl, is that you?

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Attending that address.

Defendant is armed with a firearm.

Fitzroy 203, received the last

Night shift 265, do you copy that?

- Hey, Kit, come on - What are we doing?

Syl, confirming,

We're doing the job.

Fitzroy 203, yes, I did.

Resident of that address is Barney Schneider,

known offender, also known to be armed.

Requesting backup to the corner of Mihael and Dolcheguy.

I'll take point until CERT arrives.

Any unit clear to backup Fitzroy 203?

Corner of Dolcheguy and Mihael.

Syl, there's a full book of warnings against this one.

Fitzroy 203, that's the one.

Jesus mate, Merry Christmas.

Kit, I need to focus, are you good?

Not really.

It's okay, we're doing the job, yeah?

I'm looking at this guy's rap sheet, this guy's fucked.

It's okay, we can handle it.

He's been arrested for everything.

We can handle it, yeah?

He's killed people, Syl.

20 years on the beat, I've never had to fire my weapon

and I'm not starting tonight and neither are you.

You're good at this.

You wouldn't have gotten this far if you weren't.

I don't know.

I need to hear you say it.

Yes, yes, I'm good, I'm just a bit nervous.

Once more with feeling there, Kit.

Yes, Senior, I'm good.

Okay, good, we're almost there, cams on.

All right, you got us here

and I need you to see it through, so run it down.

Uh, two suspects.

One highly dangerous and both presumed armed.

Right, and the play?

The play?

Shit it's not van craft.

No, no talking now, this time we wait for backup.

Just remember you've been trained by the very best.

The academy didn't really train me.

- I mean me, dickhead. - Oh.

Of course you did.

It's gonna be fine.

Just gonna sit here and wait for CERT to

Waheed.

Get off me.

Stop, off.

What the fuck are you doing?

Me, what the fuck are you doing?

I'm...

You're right, you're right.

Fuck.

Let's reset, I'm contact, you're cover.

Yes, Senior.

Active shooter situation.

Officer Connor and Jones entering.

Fitzroy 203 received the last.

Night Shift 265, did you copy that?

Night Shift 265, copy that.

We're en route, 10 minutes ETA.

Calvary's coming, mate, you hold on.

This is the police.

Waheed, are you in there?

I repeat, this is the police.

We are coming in and we are armed.

Put down your weapons.

Get down on the floor and put your hands in your

Waheed, are you all right, where's Barney?

Mate, mate, you need to put that gun down for me right now.

Hold on, I fucked up, man.

- Mate, put the gun down. - Syl.

Listen.

- Fuck. - No, no wait.

Waheed.

- Hold on, hold on. - Waheed, what the fuck?

He had a gun.

Waheed Karam, I need you down

on your knees- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, I've got this. - And give me your gun.

You need to get the hell outta here.

- He's not vicious, okay? - No, no, no.

He killed him!

Put your gun down,

leave it. - Get outta here.

You guys need to get the hell

outta here, okay? - Syl.

Stop pointing the gun at him.

He's not vicious. - He was all up on me, man.

Waheed, just calm down, we're gonna talk this over, okay?

No, no, no, no, you can't help me, man.

- We're gonna talk this over. - You can't help me, okay?

You need to get the hell outta here.

Syl, he's got a gun!

Tell her to stop pointing that shit at me man, fuck

Just breathe with me, Kit.

Waheed Karam, you need to get on the ground.

- Just breathe. - Get the fuck outta here.

Everyone breathe and we'll work this out.

This is ridiculous, you're lying.

I'm telling you, 20 years on the beat,

you get superpowers.

It's my spidey sense, trust me.

What is it with you middle-aged dudes and superheroes?

Middle aged?

Well, if the shoe fits.

All right.

It's the same thing.

Gimme a break.

- It is. - Thanks, thanks.

Fitzroy's a rabbit Warren.

But you knew they'd be selling gear right here.

How?

Does it look like they're selling gear?

Come on, run it down.

Okay, possible narcotics transaction in progress.

Two teenagers, one male, one female.

Yeah, who are clearly flirting

and not selling drugs.

So another call from a racist boomer and here we are.

Why's she wearing a school uniform on a Sunday?

School recitals.

What?

For me it was ballet.

- Ballet? - Yeah, okay.

Do your fans know that you were a ballerina?

Well, how about that?

That's love.

Red handed.

It says "Waheed", means "Alone"

You read Arabic?

You don't?

So what's the play?

Really?

I'm coming off the bench?

Well, we responded to the call,

so we need to do something.

And yes, it's tradition to take the last job on your first.

This job has more traditions than the Catholic church.

Oh, another universally-loved institution.

The play, the play's van craft.

It's been van craft all day.

"Why walk when you can

let your mouth do the talking?"

- We know. - Excellent, excellent,

excellent answer, mate.

They don't teach van craft at the academy,

so it's my job to teach you

that you can talk your way into and out

Aw shit, please don't run.

He can hear you.

I wasn't talking to him.

Merry Christmas.

Oh what the fuck?
