Clip description
Banner (Gerard Kennedy), Vickers (Chuck Faulkner) and Peters (Terence Donovan) question George Flack (Gerard Maguire) over the assault of John Kelso (John Fegan). Kelso won’t talk about the incident to the police but is a little more forthcoming when he returns home to his ex-wife Lil (Shirley Cameron).
Curator’s notes
The snappy, hard-boiled ‘bedside manner’ of the detectives as they question Flack is tough but funny. Their no-nonsense, wry attitudes are part of what defines Division 4’s tone.
In contrast, Kelso’s confusion elicits uneasy sympathy. In these moments, it starts to become apparent that Kelso may no longer be the menace the other characters – police included – see him as.
