0:00:07 > 0:00:10BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:11 > 0:00:14My money's on McDougal by three lengths.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Geldings are the ones to watch.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Being a gelding doesn't guarantee a win, Mr Nicholson.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20They're stronger, statistically.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23And fillies generally develop faster than colts, statistically.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, it also depends on the terrain.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I read somewhere that horses that run over dirt
0:00:29 > 0:00:31are more muscular than turf horses.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Regardless, it's unusual for a race mare to mix it with the boys.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Makes you wonder how a mare won the Cup in '56, then.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hazel, you don't have a hope
0:00:42 > 0:00:45of getting your funding application through.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46May the best horse win.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Mahoney - 1 Nicholson - 0.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Do you think Nicholson will ever give you any peace?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Not in my lifetime.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Oh! The race has started, everyone!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03RADIO: Into the straight for the Cup coming up,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07was in front and going great guns, showed the way around the corner.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Travel Boy further out. That's Sir Acron!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13They're followed by Dabbr Gold, Grand Gary, Valeria Choctaw,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and then Royal Jasper and McDougal finishing fourth,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18throwing out Travel Boy...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21They're coming up on Travel Boy...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And McDougal wins the Cup from Dabber Gold!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I've never won anything before.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Oh, Milana came last. What does that say about my betting skills?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm buying the drinks tonight.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Listen, I can't believe you did it to someone else.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- What are you talking about?- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You had a responsibility as her mentor!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Instead of supporting her, you let her down!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55How dare you! How do you know - have you been going through my things?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I had to know, and I was right. You did to her what you did to me.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I have got enough responsibilities without having to deal with this...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04You know what? You are going to pay for what you've done.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Hey. Do you want to come for a drink at the Royal Arms?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Oh, can't. Some of us are rostered first thing tomorrow.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Suit yourself.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54SHE WEEPS
0:02:56 > 0:02:57LADIES GIGGLE
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Shh! Shh!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Hey, thanks for walking us. - I promised I would.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Do you need me to walk you home?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- No!- Good.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Cos while they were setting up,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I snuck a bottle of champagne from the car park!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's in my room!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Shh!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Shh!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Just let me go to the bathroom. - Oh, OK.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- I'll be back.- OK. Bye!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39SHE SCREAMS
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Linda! Hey!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Hey, what is it? What's happened?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Come on, up you get. That's it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Dear God, Hazel!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Grab the rope! Come on!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Quick, loosen it!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Further, further, further!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's Mahoney!
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Please be all right! Please!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Come on, Hazel!
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Mattie, we're too late!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Hazel?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Please, she's gone!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22SHE CRIES
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Who found her?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Linda Butler and Mattie O'Brien.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Thank you all for your assistance.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If you'd like to make your way back to your dorm rooms.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Superintendent Lawson? Geoffrey Nicholson.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I'm the chief surgeon at this hospital.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'd like to stay, if I may.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47This IS my hospital.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It may be your hospital,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51but I'm the police surgeon and I'm asking you to leave.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54The deceased is Hazel Mahoney. You know her?
0:05:54 > 0:06:00Yes, we served on the hospital board together. Suicide?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Blake, I'd like a word later.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Of course. My surgery hours are nine to five, seven days a week.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Feel free to make an appointment with my receptionist.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I need to know numbers for the monthly board meeting.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Will be you be attending? - Interesting, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15A colleague's body lies a few feet away
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and all you can think about is a board meeting.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Maybe you need to learn a thing or two about post-mortem etiquette.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Excuse me, Geoffrey.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41The little step-stool in the laundry...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I moved it out of the way so I could get to her.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Right. Do you remember which way the steps were facing?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Uh...they were facing the door.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The door.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's interesting.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Mattie, how about you let me walk you home?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Is there anything else I can help you with?
0:07:05 > 0:07:10No, no, you let Danny take you home. Try and get a good night's sleep, eh?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Well, given the circumstances,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I could accompany the body to the morgue and perform the autopsy now.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30No, no. Hazel was a close colleague of yours.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32We need someone impartial for the job.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Think of it as post-mortem etiquette.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Only one of you need to do the autopsy. I'm sure Gus can handle it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Just make sure you keep Mr Nicholson happy, all right?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Why is that?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- It arrived for you today. - Thank you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Everything all right?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23There's been a death at the hospital. Hazel Mahoney.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26No!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yes. One of the good ones. - What happened?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Suicide. - No, she doesn't seem the type.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36My thoughts exactly.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And it's put me in the firing line of bloody Geoffrey Nicholson.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Oh, on top of everything else?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I'm terribly sorry to hear about Hazel.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Me too. Me too.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Well, goodnight, Jean. - Goodnight.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Morning, Mattie.- Morning.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Thought you might be taking the day off.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Hazel's family will be arriving today to make funeral arrangements.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yes. I expect it'll be quite a sizeable turnout.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well, first female surgeon at Ballarat hospital.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Quite an achievement in itself.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yes. She made such a difference.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Indeed, and she would have made even more of a difference
0:09:53 > 0:09:56if that damned Geoffrey Nicholson hadn't gotten in the way.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, not the easiest man to work with, I don't imagine.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Do you think Geoffrey Nicholson is the reason
0:10:01 > 0:10:04why Hazel did what she did?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10I think that man could drive anyone to the brink. I'll see you later.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Clearly ignoring orders again.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Hazel Mahoney was a colleague of yours too, Gus.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Perhaps you shouldn't be here either.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yes. Maybe she could do her own autopsy.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What do we know? - She dropped from about three feet.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Corresponding ligature furrow around the neck.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32No hangman's fracture?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It was only a three-foot drop.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37We need to take body weight into account. Look here, Gus.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Abrasion to the neck, matches the rope.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Ah. Fresh puncture marks, the upper leg region.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- We'll need a toxicology report. - Good suggestion.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Resuscitation marks on her chest. Not sure why.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, that'd be Mattie O'Brien.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The other nurses said there were early signs of rigor mortis.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Nurse O'Brien would have known it was too late...
0:11:00 > 0:11:03They were friends, Gus. Anything else?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yes. I'm moving to Melbourne.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Why, because I asked you for a toxicology report?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I've been offered a job at Royal Melbourne Hospital.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Congratulations. What do you make of all this?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17She was highly ambitious.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's no secret Geoffrey Nicholson stood in her way.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- She couldn't handle it. - Yes, I agree.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28At least, I would if it was, in fact, suicide.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Remnants of a saliva trail here.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33That's fairly standard.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Not when it runs out of her mouth and around the back of her head.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39This suggests she died horizontally.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Hazel died before she was hanged.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You might still have a few things to learn, Gus,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50before you head off to impress Melbourne.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Fancy a trip to the police station? - Why?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57We need to report all this to Lawson. I'm not meant to be here, remember?
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Antecedent female, Caucasian, 40 years old, weight - 140 pounds.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Various injuries are consistent with a crime,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09such as bruising of the strap muscle,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12fracture of the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Gus? Gus, I tell you what.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17How about you just skip to the part he's interested in?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23A ligature mark about the front of the neck,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25livor mortis blanched to light pressure
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and was consistent with the position found.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- In English? - It's irrelevant.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Someone strung her up.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Hazel's death was made to look like suicide.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Any more good news I could tell the family?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43There were puncture marks on her legs, evidence of recent injections.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'll get back into that toxicology report.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Er, you need to sign the autopsy report.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Imagine working with that every day.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04At least he's fairly laidback - almost as laidback as his patients.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- How do you manage it?- Well, the fact that he's about to start
0:13:06 > 0:13:09an impressive new job in Melbourne helps no end.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Listen, I really want to find out who did this.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Just as long as you leave
0:13:13 > 0:13:16your personal feelings for Geoffrey Nicholson out of it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Geoffrey is very much in this.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- You got any proof? - I'll find it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Mattie O'Brien. Just a couple of routine questions, Mattie.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Just come through here.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Hazel was at the Melbourne Cup party,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36and, yes, she had been drinking, and then I saw her leave.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- What time was that? - Umm, I couldn't say, really.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43When was the last time you saw her?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- In the corridor? - Was she with anyone?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Take your time, Mattie.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Parks.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Carol Stanning. She's a nurse in the hospital.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Was there anything unusual about their exchange?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- They were having a disagreement. - What about?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I don't know.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08They usually disagree?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I can't... I don't really know.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Can you remember anything about the conversation?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Well, Carol said, I think, "You're going to pay for this."
0:14:21 > 0:14:24What was the last interaction you had with the deceased?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I asked her if she thought
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Mr Nicholson would ever give her any peace.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33What was her response?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39She said not in her lifetime.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Thanks for your help.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You all right?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The knot! The knot in the noose!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It wasn't tied properly.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02If you're a doctor, you would tie it in such a way
0:15:02 > 0:15:05that you would severe the spinal cord so you die instantly.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Surgeons know all about knots.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13They use them in their work all the time for sutures and things.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It's like...the rope was just there for show.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Parks, see what you can find out about Carol Stanning.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I found Hazel's record book. It was hidden in Carol Stanning's room.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Get her down here.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Well, she's on duty, sir. - I don't care.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Mattie? - They sent me home.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Well, perhaps not a bad idea, eh?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I didn't realise how many of my photos had Hazel in them.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Yes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You know she was on the verge of implementing
0:16:45 > 0:16:48a new surgical checklist procedure.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Would have reduced the number of avoidable deaths.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Let me guess. Most of the surgeons found it insulting?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Plus, not to mention to mention the amount of paperwork
0:17:00 > 0:17:01that would have been involved.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, some surgeons didn't like a woman telling them how to improve.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yeah, well, that's silly cos something like that
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- could've saved people's lives. - That's right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Very good surgeons often see themselves as gods.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Geoffrey Nicholson?- Yes. Nicholson's a perfect case in point.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20That's a great shot.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25That was taken at our Christmas party only last year.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27She looks so happy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You know, Mattie,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I... I think someone else was involved in Hazel's death.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I simply can't believe it was suicide.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yeah, that would make sense.
0:17:41 > 0:17:48And...I'm going to head to the hospital and find out all I can.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Found this in your dorm room. It's Hazel Mahoney's record book.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I don't know how it got there.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's a pretty valuable piece of stationary.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03It has a list of everyone's marks, some of whom failed.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What's your point?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Well, I'm assuming that you passed first time round.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I failed, actually. Miss Mahoney graded me when I did my internship.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Had to repeat a year thanks to her.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Still holding that grudge?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20No.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So, why the argument with Hazel on Tuesday night?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Look, we care about our patients,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29and we discuss the best way to treat them.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Arguing can be part of that process.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Parks?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36"You'll pay for what you've done."
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Do you often find yourself in the middle of a fight?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Have to be strong.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It's a man's world out there, and apparently in here as well.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I stand up for myself,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and I'll stand up for anyone else who needs me to.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Right. So, that's why you stole the book?
0:18:56 > 0:19:01I didn't take it, and I don't know how it got there.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Right, here we go.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You think they'll miss mashed potato on the cafeteria menu?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Hospital food is rarely missed. - Too true.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Mattie, you think you could lift that on your own?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22No. No, I didn't think so.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25That certainly rules out
0:19:25 > 0:19:28some of our more slightly built nurses on the ward,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32unless, of course, they had some help.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Ah, Danny, how did you go?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37What's with the bag of veggies?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's an experiment to see how she was strung up.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Right. Yeah, well, let me give you a hand.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49No, no, I want to see if it could be done on his or her own.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Watch yourself, Mattie.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So, someone with a bit more strength than you,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and perhaps as much as me.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09If Hazel was standing on the step stools with the intention of jumping,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I wonder which way she'd face.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, towards the door?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21I think someone wanting to suicide would face the door in preparation,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23in case someone was to walk in,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and if I jumped from this height,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I think there's every possibility my neck would break.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31What are they, Danny?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Well, you know that they're staff files, so come on, ask me.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40All right. Would you mind opening Geoffrey Nicholson's file for me?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You know I can't do that!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, could you do it for Hazel?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I got one more room to check,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53so I'll come back and get the file in a few minutes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Good man. Thank you, Danny.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Blake.- Geoffrey.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I know you only want to talk about the suicide,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14but I need to firm up numbers for the meeting.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Yes, I'll be there.- Good. I was concerned we might not get a quorum.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19To be honest, if we could run this place
0:21:19 > 0:21:21without having to answer to a group of board members,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- everyone would be better off. - Like a dictatorship. Bravo(!)
0:21:24 > 0:21:26No wonder Hazel and you didn't see eye to eye.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28My working relationship with Miss Mahoney
0:21:28 > 0:21:31was cordial and professional.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I find that remark offensive, given the circumstances.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36The circumstances being that she was murdered.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Someone's gone to a great deal of trouble if that's the case.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Where were you after the party?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'll give my interview to the police in due course.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Good. In the meantime,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I'll let them know you were evasive when asked the question.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I'll also tell them that a patient died on your watch two years ago,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52a Mrs Ferguson, who left you her estate!
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Think there'll ever be a day when you and I can converse politely?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Geoffrey.- Any chance you could get Blake off my back?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Consider it done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25PHONE RINGS
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Yes, Dr Lucien Blake.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Joy McDonald. How are you?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Oh, you're in town?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Er, yes, of course. I don't have any more patients this afternoon.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Hazel Mahoney?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jean, you're here. Perfect.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Er, yes.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Yes, Hazel weighed around 140 pounds.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00I'm trying to work out how much she weighed during her fall.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Why?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Well, it might tell me whether her neck should have been broken or not.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Was her neck broken?- No.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I'm sorry, I'm not quite following.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, if I can prove that her neck should have been broken,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16due to her weight and the height of the stool,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18it might be proof enough for Lawson
0:23:18 > 0:23:21to convince him that she was, in fact, murdered.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Would you mind just stepping on the scales?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Hmm.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30So, I'm Hazel Mahoney.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Yes, you are,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35though I'll have to add a few more pounds to the calculation here,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and, erm...
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Yes, would you mind hopping up the stool there for me?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I won't let you fall.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Oh!- There we are.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Wonderful. Now, when you jump onto the scales...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Jump onto the scales?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Yes. It'll tell me what your dead weight might be.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Right.- Yeah. Are you ready?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- DOORBELL RINGS - Oh!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'll get that.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Ah. He's in the surgery.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Do you do your best thinking from up there?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Joy.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Carol stole it because of me.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Can you tell us why, Nancy?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Miss Mahoney warned me
0:24:32 > 0:24:34that my grades might not be enough to pass the year.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I told Carol at the party,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41so she stole the doctor's record book for me.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So, you and Carol, you stick together?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48She looks out for me.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52So, if she told you to jump off a bridge...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We didn't hurt Hazel.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I thought the grades I got were unfair, so I told Carol.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59You don't trust the marks Hazel gave you?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01A lot of the time we're marked
0:25:01 > 0:25:03based on how confident we are with our patients.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Which you're not?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Do you know how hard it is to be strong in the world
0:25:07 > 0:25:09for someone like me?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13The world is set up for people like YOU.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16And you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Were you instrumental in the death of Hazel Mahoney?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23No.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Where'd the burns come from?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Where'd the burns come from?!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30They rope burns?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34What brings you back to town?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I'm doing a piece on a local surgeon.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Not Geoffrey Nicholson, I hope.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43No. Patrick Tyneman has asked that I write a profile piece.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- On?- You.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Lucien, what did you honestly think would happen
0:25:48 > 0:25:51when you introduced the two of us?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's hard to deny you are a great story.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Besides, Patrick Tyneman has contacts beyond Ballarat,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and my editor is one of them.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It'd be slanderous.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Not if it's the truth.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06And how much truth do you have on me?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09You mean apart from you shutting down
0:26:09 > 0:26:11a factory full of migrant workers?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15And, according to Tyneman, attacking a visiting British consul.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Yes, that was a good one.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And now going after a prominent local surgeon.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yes.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- It's quite an impressive list, isn't it?- Told you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I still think the Nicholson story is better, and I'll tell you why.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I did some digging,
0:26:33 > 0:26:37and I found out a patient died on his watch a couple of years ago
0:26:37 > 0:26:40and assigned property to him in her will.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Not that he needs any more property, but anyway,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44it'd make a terrific story.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Like every other time you've suggested a story.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49No, no, no, this story will be terrific for you and your editor.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Look, Hazel Mahoney was murdered.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Geoffrey and Hazel were enemies.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- It's a long bow to draw. - Well...
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, why don't the police deal with Nicholson?
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Oh, he hasn't been questioned yet due to his overwhelming surgical roster.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Surgeons certainly do live by their own rules.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I may have to bring him to trial myself
0:27:15 > 0:27:17in a room full of hospital board members.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Might give me substance for my next article.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Don't you open your mail these days?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Singapore. Your wife and child were last seen there, weren't they?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Yes, and the search continues.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Any word?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43I'm afraid there may be a few words in that letter.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Inspector Lawson called. He asked if you'd go to the hospital
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and have a look at Nancy Carmody's burn marks.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Excuse me, Sister.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Well, that certainly must have hurt.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Yes.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Superintendent Lawson wanted me to ask you about those burn marks.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I told him that they were not rope burns.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I didn't have anything to do with Hazel's... Miss Mahoney.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Clearly, they're not friction burns. How did you get those marks?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21From the radiator in my dorm room. I'm naturally clumsy.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Naturally clumsy. Can't be a good thing in your profession.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Nancy, how long have you been doing this to yourself?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Please don't say anything...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I was just so anxious with my exams.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41You know, Hazel was very, very pleased with your work.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Superintendent Lawson tells me
0:28:43 > 0:28:45her report book was full of praise for you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54I'm going to arrange for you to see someone - someone who can help you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55All right?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- Thank you.- There you are.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Well, it certainly wasn't Nancy Carmody.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11She's frightened of her own shadow.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Those marks on her hands, they weren't rope burns.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Carol Stanning's all bravado. - But no alibi?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21We've interviewed everyone who was at the party or rostered on.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Geoffrey Nicholson? - We're still working on that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Oh, come on, tell me you're joking!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I mean, surely he can find time between rounds of golf!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Apparently, they're one surgeon down at the hospital.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- He's been unable to get away. - Right, and Tyneman vouched for him.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37He'll be brought in when we can get hold of him.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Well, can I at least check his surgical roster?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41He wasn't rostered on. We've checked.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Ah. Well, the evidence is mounting, isn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I don't need to remind you it's innocent until proven guilty,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48not the other way around.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51What about the needle marks? I mean, someone could have injected her.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Gus, what have you got?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Toxicology report for Miss Mahoney.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Miss Mahoney had morphine in her system.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Bet you weren't expecting that.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Morphine.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12A controlled substance, therefore kept under lock and key.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17The only people with access are senior medical staff.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23Like I said, the evidence is mounting.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Leave it to us, Blake!
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- PHONE RINGS - I'll get that.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Blake's residence.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Oh, Mrs McDonald. No, I'm afraid he isn't.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37He's at his hospital board meeting.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Er, about 20 minutes ago, but you can leave a mess...
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Yes, just here, thank you.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Lucien!
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Lucien!
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Patrick.- Lucien!
0:31:29 > 0:31:33In summary, an application was presented by Dr Hazel Mahoney.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Subsequently, that application was rejected
0:31:36 > 0:31:39because it failed to receive sufficient votes.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I'd now like to hand over to Mr Nicholson
0:31:42 > 0:31:45to discuss further presentations.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Gentlemen, my request is that the board support a research project
0:31:49 > 0:31:51into new trans and surgical procedures
0:31:51 > 0:31:54at the Johns Hopkins University in America.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57And my request is... And my request is that we take on
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Hazel Mahoney's recent proposal posthumously.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Well, we won't be doing that, Blake. - Why not?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Because it's already been rejected!
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Our current priority is to make Ballarat Hospital worthy
0:32:08 > 0:32:10of international recognition.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Well, the procedures Hazel wanted to implement could do just that.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Gentlemen, my funding proposal sits in front of you.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20I hope that it's considered with the utmost importance.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24And I hope you all consider that Geoffrey Nicholson stands to make
0:32:24 > 0:32:27a huge financial gain from Hazel's death, and that's motive.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Sit down, Blake. - This is outrageous behaviour.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Well, there's plenty more.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35The very fact that we don't know exactly how Hazel was killed
0:32:35 > 0:32:37might suggest that she was, in fact,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40killed by someone in possession of considerable medical knowledge,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and who had access to controlled substances.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Gentlemen, I won't be staying for any more speeches.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Blake, you cannot talk to this man like that!
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Two years ago,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Geoffrey Nicholson had a patient who died quite unexpectedly.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54There was an open finding into the death.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57No cause was found, just like with Hazel,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01and he made a significant financial gain out of that death as well.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Two weeks before she died,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06the patient, Mary Ferguson, altered her will.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Fancy that!
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Leaving all of her substantial estate to Geoffrey Nicholson.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19That patient of mine who died is no secret.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27What is a secret is that I was abandoned as a child,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29spent most of my childhood in an orphanage,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32but I worked hard and got a scholarship which allowed me
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- to become a surgeon. - Geoffrey...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37That patient was my birth mother,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41and yes, she left me everything, which was not much.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Thank you for your explanation, Geoffrey,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51however, it was completely unnecessary.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57That still doesn't explain where you were when Hazel was killed.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I was called into surgery.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01But you weren't rostered on, Geoffrey.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Because I was covering for another surgeon!
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You can check the patient's records.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09You're a loose cannon, Blake.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Get out of here before you do any more damage.
0:34:18 > 0:34:25Gentlemen, you have my resignation, effective immediately.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28That saves me the trouble of firing you.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Why didn't you tell me about your alibi, Geoffrey?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Geoffrey's silver spoon wasn't so silver.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- You knew. - I did some digging like you asked.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I tried to catch you before the meeting. Did you...
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Make a complete fool of myself? Yes, I did.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- I'm sorry.- Well, at least you'll have plenty of material
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- for your article. I have to go. - Lucien...
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Look, make sure you write that article, Joy.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- At least you'll keep your job. - Lucien.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13I don't want to interfere, but I have a colleague based in Kuantan
0:35:13 > 0:35:16following the Malay emergency.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20He posted a story on wartime missing persons last year.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24He might be able to help locate your wife and child.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Thank you.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I'll see what I can do.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Miss Stanning, what can we do for you?
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- Is Inspector Lawson here? - He's with someone. Can I help you?
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- I wanted to make a statement. - OK.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53A couple of the girls and I had been drinking that night.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I was showing them the new X-ray machine.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I accidentally scratched one of the glass plates with one of my rings.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Sounds like an expensive accident.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Thought if I kept quiet I could buy some time,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07work out a way of perhaps replacing it.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11And admitting to it is better than being a suspect in a murder.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15That still doesn't explain
0:36:15 > 0:36:17how Hazel's record book was found in your room.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Well, maybe we should match your fingerprints.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Look...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30..I took it.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I wanted to know that Nancy was telling the truth about her marks
0:36:33 > 0:36:35before I confronted Hazel.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38There was no chance to give it back after she was found.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Where is he?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Lawson! Lawson!
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Get out of my way! Out of my way!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Patrick! What seems to be the problem?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Your bloody mate, Lucien bloody Blake.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- He's gone too far this time. - What's he done now?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I want him sacked! - Well, hang on a minute.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57You sack him, or I'll go over your head.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I thought you might need some tea.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Lucien?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I made a fool of myself, Jean.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46I humiliated Geoffrey Nicholson in front of the entire hospital board.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I treated the man like he was a bloody criminal.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Then I resigned from the board
0:37:52 > 0:37:54before they had the chance to formally remove me.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55I thought I should let you know
0:37:55 > 0:37:58before you heard it from someone else.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01So, you're the police surgeon,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04and you've resigned from the hospital board in disgrace.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Well, I thought that would be the proper thing to do...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08That's not the point.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Piece by piece,
0:38:11 > 0:38:15you've unravelled everything your father has built here.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Don't you understand?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Your patients need you.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25We need you.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30And you don't need the likes of Geoffrey Nicholson
0:38:30 > 0:38:31to make your life difficult,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34because you do that perfectly well by yourself!
0:38:34 > 0:38:40And one day, people might just stop forgiving you, and then what?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Jean, are you all right?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Evening.- Evening, Matthew.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Whiskey's a good idea.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18He does all the damage when he's sober anyway.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Just saw Jean outside.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39She can't stand the sight of you either.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42To what do I owe this visit - business or pleasure?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Pleasure. I'm here to fire you at the behest of Patrick Tyneman.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Wonderful(!)
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It's been wonderful working with you.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Now all I have to do is place an advertisement for a police surgeon.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Well, I hate to say it, but Gus would be the obvious choice.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08If he didn't already have a brand-new job in the big city,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- and he didn't drive me more crazy than you do.- Thanks very much(!)
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Doesn't leave many on the list of candidates.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17What about you? You working at the moment?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, interestingly enough, I've just been fired,
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- so it's probably good timing. - I'll take that as a yes, then.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Oh, Matthew, why would you want to re-hire me?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I cause you nothing but trouble.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32And as it turns out, I make terrible bloody mistakes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34You get it right more often than you get it wrong.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Whoever killed Hazel covered their tracks superbly.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Truth is, I can't do it without you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48And what about Tyneman?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51You find out who killed Hazel, Tyneman will get off your back.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53If he doesn't, I'll handle him.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Hazel's record book.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Towards the back, you'll find a list of her daily activities.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Might help.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Yes, it might.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09So, who do you think killed this doctor, then?
0:42:11 > 0:42:13I don't know.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17One thing I know for certain, it's someone at that hospital.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20That narrows the field down.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Morning.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Haven't seen Jean, have you?
0:42:54 > 0:42:56No, I've been at the hospital all night.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Is there any new information?
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Um...I don't know if I mentioned this before.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10We found puncture marks on Hazel's body.
0:43:10 > 0:43:11Are they intravenous?
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Intramuscular. She tested positive for morphine.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19No, Hazel wasn't a morphine user.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21No, I wouldn't have thought so.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26But sometimes these things go unnoticed.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28No, it's a depressant.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31If she was on anything, which I doubt, it would've been a stimulant.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33The woman didn't stop.
0:43:36 > 0:43:42Do you know, Mattie, I've never questioned an autopsy report.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Dr Blake.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Linda, how are you?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55OK. The place isn't really the same.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- What can I do for you? - I don't suppose I could take a look
0:43:59 > 0:44:01through some of the old prescriptions, could I?
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Mr Nicholson wouldn't really approve.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07No, of course, and I respect that.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Thank you, Linda. Thank you for your time.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Dr Blake! Is this about Miss Mahoney?
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Yes, it is.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30You can search by name here, or by the drug type here,
0:44:30 > 0:44:32thanks to Miss Mahoney.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36Morning, Linda. Can I get a prescription made up?
0:45:01 > 0:45:05Linda, erm, look, er,
0:45:05 > 0:45:11a Mr Giovanni Morgagni has taken out a fair bit of morphine.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- Do you know this patient? - No.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Do you mind if I hang onto this? I will bring it back.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22- OK.- Thank you.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41TROLLEY CLANGS
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Anyone ever tell you, when you're trying to get away with murder,
0:46:50 > 0:46:52never leave a paper trail?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Prescriptions for morphine
0:46:58 > 0:47:01under the name of a famous dead Italian pathologist...
0:47:01 > 0:47:03not a smart move.
0:47:07 > 0:47:12Your choice of lethal injection, however - exceptional.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Potassium chloride, hardly detectable after death.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21Of course, it explains the puncture marks on Hazel's legs.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26Indeed, it was Hazel's procedures that uncovered the fact
0:47:26 > 0:47:29that you were a morphine addict.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33She even gave you a chance to get clean, didn't she, Gus?
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Would've meant the end of my career.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39So, you dealt with that problem by killing her, didn't you?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Miss Mahoney had morphine in her system.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44You tried to make her look like the addict
0:47:44 > 0:47:46by substituting your blood for hers.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Oh, you're so smart, aren't you?
0:47:50 > 0:47:52You know what I wonder about, Gus?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54I wonder why you didn't simply give her an overdose of morphine,
0:47:54 > 0:47:57but of course, that's part of the problem with addiction, isn't it?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59It's tough to part with the goods.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03A healthy 40-year-old woman with puncture wounds to her upper legs
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- would've started an investigation. - Yes, of course.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14So, you tried to make it look like suicide.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17It was a nice touch with the little stool, I tell you.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20It's just a shame you faced the steps the wrong way.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26Oh, come on, Gus. Two deaths in one week involving potassium chloride.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28It's going to look a little suspicious, isn't it?
0:48:29 > 0:48:33And you're not nearly strong enough to string me up.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Was this all part of your plan, Gus,
0:48:35 > 0:48:38when you made the decision to study medicine, hmm?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Is this all part of your calling, hmm?
0:48:40 > 0:48:43I tell you what, I'll make it easy for you, really easy.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Here's a vein. Come on! The idea of dying doesn't disturb me!
0:48:46 > 0:48:48- FROM OUTSIDE:- Blake!
0:48:48 > 0:48:49- Knowing what you've done, though... - Blake!
0:48:49 > 0:48:51is a different matter entirely!
0:48:51 > 0:48:54Drop it! Drop the syringe. Drop it!
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Drop it now!
0:49:03 > 0:49:08Mattie O'Brien told me you were here. Thought you might need a hand.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32Thank you.
0:50:59 > 0:51:00Lucien!
0:51:18 > 0:51:20'Dear Jean,
0:51:20 > 0:51:25'I have received word that my daughter is alive,
0:51:25 > 0:51:29'and arrangements have been made for me to meet with her in Shanghai.
0:51:30 > 0:51:34'This is the journey I have longed to make for so many years.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37'You of all people will understand
0:51:37 > 0:51:41'how much I need to see her, to hold her...
0:51:42 > 0:51:45'..to tell her I love her.'
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Oh! Inspector Lawson.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51Hello, Jean.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Well, come in.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08Blake called me at the station. He's on his way to Shanghai.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10He wants to take some leave from work.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16He wanted me to pick this up and give it to you.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17Oh...
0:52:17 > 0:52:19He'd like you to open it.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24BLAKE'S VOICE: 'Who knows what will happen or how it will end,
0:52:24 > 0:52:27'but please know this -
0:52:27 > 0:52:30'I'm coming back to Ballarat, to my father's house.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35'I have found a place of light in the darkness.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39'I have found my home.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43'Thank you for caring, and for being my friend.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51'For the first time in a very long time,
0:52:51 > 0:52:54'this feels like the beginning and not the end.
0:52:58 > 0:53:04'Yours, with much affection, Lucien.'
