Go around me. Moe, Moe. What the? He rammed me. What? He's trying to kill me. What? Kill you? Moe, what's going on? Moe.
I knew it. Mo, I knew it, see?
And you weren't there when it happened. Unidentified black male, likely between the ages of... Tall pizzas.
I just want to know who punched you. I've been here ten years, don't remember you. His hand. Who are you? The plaster. Slow. Bro! What was that? You there? Yo, Allah, Mo! Come on, bro, say something. Mo! Mo! See, I told you it was one of them e-bikes. Just hurry up, man.
It's battered. Well, just leave it then, innit? Yo, these skid marks are mad. You mean tyre marks. What? Skid marks is what you still leave behind in your eye frowns. Shut up, man.
Hello! Bruv, what are you doing? You blind? There was obviously a crash in there. Someone could be out there. And? What were you supposed to do about it? Yo!
Is anyone out there?
Help. Help.
Bro, there ain't nothing out here except for trees and perverts. Come on. It's late.
Help! Now come, or you're walking back. Well, you said it was bastard.
Help! Help! Help me!
Hello? Sir? Are you okay? I'm sorry, but my Baba said we could not stop. We could not stop for you, that you were already dead. Is that true? You are already dead?
Sir, are you still alive?
I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what your name is. Was. But I hope you are no longer in pain. At least the rainy season is over and you can look up at the sky and the stars without the clouds. Maybe you were already up there, looking down on us. Do we look as bright as the stars? save me save me what do you want me to do why didn't you save me you're safe I'm Detective Inspector Johnson. I was the arriving officer on the scene of your accident. Where am I?
How does Mo plan to communicate with Omar about the incident?
St. David's Hospital. How are you feeling now? You're out for a while. If you're feeling up to it, I'd like to ask you a few questions about what happened. Am I under arrest? No. Why would you think you're... I don't know. I'm sorry, I'm just a little bit... This won't take long. We believe you were involved in a hit-and-run incident. Now the good news is, you're alive. And aside from some bruising and mild concussion, the doctor informed me that you're going to be fine. With a bit of rest. The bad news? The bad news is, down that stretch of the old Newport Road where the accident took place, there's no cameras. So anything you might recall, anything at all... I'm sorry, it's just all a blur right now. It's okay.
Where were you going the night of the crash? Ah, I was on... I was on my way home. To my family. I see. Well, it's unfortunate that that curry didn't make it to them. I've been through your records, Mohammed. I know your status. You know you're not supposed to be working. I wasn't. I told you I was going home.
Mm-hmm. So you didn't get a look at the car, the make, colour, licence plate?
It was silver, I think. But that's it. That's all I can remember. Can you think of any reason someone would have done this intentionally? No. All right. Well, if someone does come back to you, give me a call. Yeah.
Thank you. Yo, yo, yo, yo, brother, what are you doing? What are you doing? You can't be playing a game of Operation on yourself, cuz. Them troops was doing stuff, you know? I'm having an operation?
No, bro. Operation. It was a game. Forget it, Henry.
How did you know I was here?
Bro, how do you think you got here? You said you was heading up to St Melon's doing a delivery, innit? Brother, I never had to call police before ever in my life or it felt proper weird.
What about Mama and him now?
He seemed all right, though. Omar. Bro, your fam's good, your fam's good, bro. They was here all day yesterday, bro. You were still asleep. What's it like being unconscious anyway? I've never had no anaesthetic in my life, brother, and you know that I've never been knocked out, innit?
I prefer being awake.
Aye, wait there. Bro, that's the last delivery I'm ever declining for you, bro.
What's going on? Listen. You need to get me out of here.
