:26:01
We were very shocked, of course,
but at that stage we still had some hope...

:26:05
(feedback)
:26:08
Can we just do that again?
:26:10
That’s OK. I’ve done some journalism
myself. I think I know what you mean.

:26:14
"(journalist)" OK, right. Rolling. And... go.
:26:19
Well, it was shocking,
but we just held out some little hope.

:26:24
But when we saw
the spots of blood on the tent,

:26:27
we knew as we looked
that this was a very quick event.

:26:32
And this morning, when we saw
the sharp, ripped, jagged marks

:26:36
on that very thickly-woven blanket,
:26:40
that this was a powerful beast
with very sharp teeth.

:26:44
lt was more than a domestic dog
that did this.

:26:47
OK, stop it there. It gets boring after this.
:26:49
Now run this. I want to cut to her.
:26:52
- That won’t cut.
- Yes, it will if you wait till after the pan,

:26:57
and put his last line over
to disguise the question.

:27:01
I want some good sci-fi music to go
over this to give it some atmosphere.

:27:06
News is art, huh?
:27:07
(TV) We knew that
this was a powerful beast

:27:11
- "with very sharp teeth."
- There’s more to this than meets the eye.

:27:16
- "(TV) ..domestic dog that did this..."
- Did you hear that?

:27:19
I just yelled.
There wasn’t time to go and tell people.

:27:22
”Has anybody got a torch?
The dingo’s got my baby.“

:27:25
A dingo! They must think
we come down in the last shower!

:27:28
The parents, Michael and Lindy
Chamberlain, Seventh Day Adventists,

:27:32
say they’ve accepted the baby’s death
as the will of God.

:27:36
They will leave Ayers Rock
tomorrow for their Mount Isa home.

:27:40
Christ.
:27:41
They could have picked somewhere else.
:27:43
They blame a dumb animal
who can’t defend itself.

:27:46
I can’t believe how the dingo can have
taken the baby and it’s never been found.

:27:52
Mrs Chamberlain?
Inspector Gilroy and Sergeant Lincoln.

:27:56
- I’m sorry, we have to interview you.
- Yes, all right. Come in.
