0:01:28 > 0:01:31APPLAUSE
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'Are you ready to play Game Of Champions?'
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Your father treated his family for years.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42What, the Chinese bloke? No, James Holbrook. He's nice.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, come on! He's not that good-looking.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52'Simon, this is your final question.'
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Get this right, and the money's yours.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02The Stanford-Binet test tells us which of these has the lowest IQ?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06A, moron,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08B, cretin,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11C, imbecile,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13D, idiot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28And your time's up. Your answer, please.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Cretin. And that's wrong.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36MURMURING
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Simon Lo, thanks for playing Game Of Champions,
0:02:40 > 0:02:45and congratulations to our new quiz champion James Holbrook.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Thanks.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25STATIC HISSES
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Have you seen him? No sign of him.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36You were meant to be keeping an eye on him! Don't start, Alan. This wasn't my idea.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39There you are. We were worried. This isn't fair!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I know, Simon. You must be very disappointed.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44You made me lose! Settle down, son.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Don't tell me to settle down! This is fixed! Simon!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49SCREAMING
0:03:54 > 0:03:57SCREAMING
0:04:00 > 0:04:03SHE SCREAMS AND SOBS
0:04:06 > 0:04:08He's dead!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30James Holbrook, I take it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It is. What are you doing here?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36James's fiancee called me. I'm the family doctor. What about you?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, I was in the audience.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I like quiz shows.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Explains the civvies. You look very smart.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I might go take a look at the room where it happened. Are you coming?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Ambos reckon it was a heart attack. Yes, I just checked his history.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Makes sense. Heart disease runs in the family.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Bloke wins 1,000 quid, then dies.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's ironic, really.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Yes. I better talk to the boy's fiancee.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Patrick... That chink is NOT going back onto the show!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Simon's the holdover champion...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15People keep coming into the store just to tell us how much they hate the little ...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Superintendent. Anything you need?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Yes, actually. I'd like to talk to Dawn Prentice, James's fiancee.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Dr Blake, our police surgeon.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26We sent Dawn home. She was the one who found his body.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Mmm. Dreadful thing. It certainly is.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I couldn't help overhearing. Simon Lo coming back on the show?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Over my dead body. Simon was our previous champion.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Now James is dead, we have to bring him back. They're the rules.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42I'm with Patrick on this.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You saw him after the show. He was out of control.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Take losing badly, did he? He was upset.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50He threatened us. Where is he now? He went home.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Couldn't get out of here fast enough after we found James.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And you want to put him back on air.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56We might leave you to it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Well, you didn't lose any money, Patrick. At least that's something.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oh, Jesus.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Oh, James. I really never expected to see you in here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Certainly not yet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30We all knew your heart needed some attention.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But to fail you right after you won ?1,000.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38You were very good on the music questions.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And what have you done here?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So much for a heart attack, James.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Lawson! Oh!
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Listen, James Holbrook was electrocuted, not heart.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, not a heart attack, as such.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Are you sure?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Flash burns on his hands, soles of his feet.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm surprised the ambulance boys didn't pick up on it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22There must be something of an electrical fault
0:08:22 > 0:08:24or something live in that room that he touched.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Superintendent Lawson, Ballarat Police. Get me Alan Coleman, BTV 8.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Alan Coleman.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39This question goes to Matthew Lawson, first practical use of the telephone?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Alexander Graham Bell, 1876. Correct.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Mr Coleman. Superintendent Lawson.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I need you to close down that dressing room now.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I was horrified to get your call this morning, Superintendent.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's awful to think that the station might have had a hand in his death,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56but I've had Roger check all the electrics in the room.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58He couldn't find anything. And who's Roger?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Uh, the station technician. Part-time, of course.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Can you get him up here?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Well, at first I thought it might have been the lights.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08They're fine.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Then I checked the kettle.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I thought James might have made a cup of tea or something.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Nothing? Nothing.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I put everything through the volt meter, even the television,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20even though I'd checked that at the store before I brought it in.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The store?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Roger works part-time at Tyneman Electrics as well.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30And electrics seem to be the issue here.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I thought James had a heart attack. Not according to the doctor.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37We had high hopes for James. He was very popular.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'd noticed.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's Dawn I really feel for.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It was the television.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I put it through the volt meter. It's fine.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Well, you may have, but you didn't actually look at the television,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07did you, Roger? I checked it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What's he doing? Lawson.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Here we are. Have a look at this.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Have a look at that. It's a screw that's missing
0:10:19 > 0:10:22from the back panel of the television set.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25That's brand-new. It's never been used.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What? Someone tampered with the television.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Roger brings the prizes in from the shop on the day of the show.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37The television was brand-new.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Where did it go after that?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40In this office.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And Roger was the only one who had access to it before the show.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47And me, Alan, and Dawn.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Right. Alan, tell me, what about after the show?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54It was in the champion's dressing room.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Roger took it there before we went to air.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Thank you, Dawn.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I told her to take the day off.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Who else had access to the television once it was put in the dressing room?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The door was unlocked, anyone could have gone in,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and the room was left open after James's body was taken away, but...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Simon went missing after the show.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18We couldn't find him for about ten minutes, then suddenly he appears.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Basically attacked us. He was in a filthy mood.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26So, you think he might have tampered with the set.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I have no idea. The point is, the television was in the dressing room.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Simon had just lost ?1,000.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38?1,000. That'd be motive.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Possibly.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52Dawn, are you sure you should be at work today?
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Oh, well, I have to be doing something, and this place would fall apart without me, so...
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Look, I know this is difficult,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05but what did you see when you went into that room?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Um...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I saw James...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15..lying on the floor.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Anything else? No. Why?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I'm just trying to work things out.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Where were you before that? I was looking for Simon.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29We were all looking for Simon. Yes, so I gather.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Well, if I had've been here, none of this might've happened.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38So, maybe you should ask Simon where HE was when James died.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well, everyone was out looking for Simon Lo after the show.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Roger Lambert checked the circuitry of that television.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57There was no damage, and no wires were out of place.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, someone got to it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02He also reckons that Simon Lo had more than a working man's
0:13:02 > 0:13:04knowledge of electronics. Well, how would Roger Lambert know that?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08He was at school with Simon, and Dawn, and James, apparently.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09They all went to school together?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11In the same class.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Well, maybe we should be talking to Roger.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I think I'll have a chat with Simon.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Mr Coleman said that you attacked him last night. Is this correct?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Yes. Why?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I should have won.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32You were missing for ten minutes after the show had finished.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Where were you? That's an exaggeration.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So, you weren't missing. It was eight minutes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Where were you?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Out. What were you doing?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Nothing. I don't know how you do things at home...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Are you going to hit me now?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Mr Lo, Mr Lo, please!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Now, James Holbrook is dead.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We're just trying to find out what happened to him, all right?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01We're simply asking some questions here today.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Are you familiar with electronics, Mr Lo? Obviously.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So, if I was to ask you to pull apart a television, for example...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17The electronics of a television set
0:14:17 > 0:14:21consist of a rectifier to convert from alternating to direct current.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Also capacitors, a regulator, and a control circuit.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Basic circuit theory.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I think that means he could.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Did you sabotage the television in Mr Holbrook's dressing room. No.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Look at him, trying to make himself look innocent.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I don't think he feels he needs to. Clearly.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53The fact that a man's been murdered doesn't seem to bother him a bit.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02So, what's your next move? I'll let him sweat it out for a bit, then I'll pull him back in.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05He didn't appear to be sweating that much to me.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07He's an annoying piece of work.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I think he must be Filipino. He's speaking Tagalog.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Anything else I should know?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Yes. You should be investigating him for murder.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Thought so.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22One, two, three! Er, what's going on?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Don't worry, it'll be fine.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Yes, you say that every time you borrow something.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Sunny Side Up's on this evening.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Right. What are you trying to do?
0:15:33 > 0:15:39Well, I'm working out how to turn a television set into a murder weapon.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42But do you actually know what you're doing?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Well, just basic circuit theory according to Simon Lo.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Right, so, how do you do it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Well, if you're not concerned about damaging the television,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58you simply run a high tension supply
0:15:58 > 0:16:02from the cathode ray to aerial socket.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04And you don't want to do that?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, no. That'd blow the tube.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And you don't want to blow the tube?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Danny, whoever sabotaged James Holbrook's television
0:16:12 > 0:16:14didn't leave a single sign
0:16:14 > 0:16:17apart from a small screw that dropped on the floor.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Yeah, but are we actually sure that it was sabotaged?
0:16:22 > 0:16:29No. No, but I can't for the life of me think of another explanation.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36ELECTRICITY CRACKLES Oooh!
0:16:36 > 0:16:40LAUGHTER What's happened?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Lucien!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Um, yes. I'll go find the fuse box, shall I?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Oh! There you are.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57What did you do to it?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01He was conducting an experiment. What sort of experiment?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03He wanted to know how long it was going to take
0:17:03 > 0:17:06to get from the living room to the fuse box with the house in complete darkness.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And I did find the fuse box.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11But not the fuse wire. My guess is it's ruined.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Pretty much. Ha!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Thank you, Jean. Excuse me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Trouble on the home front?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Oh, I was testing a theory
0:17:26 > 0:17:28about how a television might be dangerous if you touched it,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and how that could happen without blowing the tube.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yeah, I've been thinking about that too.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You take a couple of cables,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41then you wire them from the main socket
0:17:41 > 0:17:44through the back of the set to the aerial socket,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but you'd have to touch the aerial to get a shock. Right.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Of course, you'd have to take the cables out again before anyone found them.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Right. Seems you've been giving this some thought, Roger.
0:17:55 > 0:18:02Well, I was trying to work out why there wasn't any damage to the set.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Tell me, was the television on when you left it in the room? No.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09PHONE RINGS I'll get it, if the lights stay on.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Listen, I understand you went to school with Simon.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Simon, Dawn, James, and me.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It was a special academic programme.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28I was never really in the running, though.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Must have been tough competing with him, eh? Simon always came out ahead.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I heard the police were talking to him.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yes. What do you think?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Simon was always playing with circuits and wires at school.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46If it was me, I'd be locking him up.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You know it's going to cost you to have it repaired?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yes, lovely. We'll do that, thank you. Phone call for you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Right. Excuse me, Roger.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yes, Dr Blake.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06What kind of trouble?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That man has absolutely no business being here! OK, look, I understand...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11He's a contestant on a television show!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Please! Don't give me that!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Just everybody relax so I can understand what's going on.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Keep this man away from the shop!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Yes, I'm trying, sir. If you can just step backwards...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21He pushed me into the traffic!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Doc. Glad you're here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28This man came into my shop making certain wild allegations...
0:19:28 > 0:19:32They're true! My manager here asked him to leave.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34He assaulted him, so I grabbed him...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37That's a lie. He pushed me onto the road. A car ran into me!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39He tried to kill me! Hang on, hang on.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42A car hit you? Are you hurt?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It simply brushed against him, that's all.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Thank you, Patrick, I was talking to Mr Lo. Are you hurt?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I hurt my knee when I fell on the gutter.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Just step aside with me for a moment, would you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Did you hit your head?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57I can't remember.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01All right, Mr Lo, just follow my finger with your eyes,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05and tell me, why were you here?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09He was making absurd claims about the show!
0:20:20 > 0:20:21What's he saying?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Professor Waterman...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28We talk English here, Mr Lo.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30If you want to speak Chinese, you can go back home.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Actually, Patrick, he's speaking Tagalog.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I don't give a damn! He speaks English and he learns how to behave.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I'll be laying a complaint.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45God alone knows what rubbish he's been telling you!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Who's Waterman?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53That went well.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Yes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00It's all going terribly smoothly today, Danny.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Better track down this Waterman.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07See you, Doc.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Professor Waterman? Yes?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Dr Lucien Blake, police surgeon.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Simon Lo mentioned your name. Do you mind if we have a chat?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Simon Lo.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Frankly, I was glad to see the back of him.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29He didn't belong in our school system.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Roger Lambert certainly had a few things to say.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Well, I'm not surprised.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Roger and James Holbrook got themselves into a lot of trouble with our Mr Lo.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42What kind of trouble? There was some violence on the oval one lunchtime.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It was understandable with Simon Lo, but it got out of hand.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48We had to expel Roger Lambert.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Tell me, why was Roger expelled and not James?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Lambert was a bad influence. James told us everything.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You want to know what Simon Lo was really like?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Read this. Simon Lo wrote it just before he graduated. It's typical of the boy.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10"Critical Analysis of the Teaching Methods of Professor M Waterman."
0:22:10 > 0:22:14He gave this to you? I hope your patients treat you better.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17"Professor Waterman has a pompous manner that attempts to hide
0:22:17 > 0:22:20"consistently sloppy thinking and incorrect..."
0:22:20 > 0:22:22You don't need to read it out.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25"He has a weak grasp of higher mathematics, conceptual physics..."
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, it goes on and on, much like the boy himself.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32I had 12 other pupils to teach at this time.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36"Use of terms of abuse, especially the word 'idiot'."
0:22:36 > 0:22:37You called him an idiot?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It was the only way I could get him
0:22:39 > 0:22:43to stop answering every single question. Well, clearly he's not an idiot.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Well, obviously, but it proved to be most effective at the time,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50especially when the other students cottoned on.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Professor, was that really necessary?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The other students needed to step up.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Dawn Prentice, for example.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Such a clever girl - always in Simon's shadow.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Tell me, have you had, or indeed,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10do you have contact with Alan Coleman and Patrick Tyneman?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Well, yes, indeed. I write questions for that show.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17There's a whole group of us - academics, of course.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Of course, and let me guess.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25The idiot question, that was one of yours, wasn't it?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Quite possibly.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31They came to you, didn't they?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Wanting to know how to unsettle Simon,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37and you told them exactly how to do it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I have signed a confidentiality contract.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I couldn't possibly comment.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Thank you, Professor. I think I have everything I need.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10You did a good job on it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Took me half the morning to fix it up.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Is it working now? It was in the shop.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, the reception used to be fine.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Oh, you'll need to adjust that during transmission.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh. That can be your job.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Not too happy with you, is she? No.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Roger, tell me about getting expelled from school.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Who'd you talk to? Oh, some obnoxious chap called Waterman.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46That'd be right.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Me and James had an argument with Simon Lo.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It was more than just an argument, wasn't it?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56All right, we beat him up.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59You'd call Simon an idiot and he'd lose it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Then we'd get stuck into him. It became a sort of game. Really?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I wonder if Simon saw it like that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13So, you got kicked out, but not James. Why?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Cos James said I was the sole instigator.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We were mates.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21He never talked to me again.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23PHONE RINGS
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I think I'd be pretty resentful of James if that had've been me.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34It was years ago.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And I didn't sabotage his TV, if that's what you're asking.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's Superintendent Lawson again.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Right.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54I would like you to do something about it. I'm sorry, Mr Lo, but...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57He pushed me in front of a car! Yeah, I understand that, all right...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Tyneman tried to kill me, and you're not doing anything about it!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Yeah, OK... He wanted me off his show...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Oh, Doc! Just a sec.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06..Can you talk to him?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13And you, Dr Blake.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Where's Lawson?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Well, he's...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25So, what's it going to be, Constable? Really has no idea how to get on with people, does he?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well, I don't think it's ever occurred to him.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29He was right about the show, though.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I spoke to his old schoolteacher.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34That last question was designed to unsettle him.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37How?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, back in the day
0:26:39 > 0:26:43his teacher's preferred term of abuse for Simon was "idiot".
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Of course, the rest of the class picked up on it.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48James was part of that too.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53It seems the word "idiot" has become Simon's Achilles heel.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58What's your point? Simon was effectively cheated out of ?1,000.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Now, that gives him plenty of motive for killing James Holbrook.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And he still can't explain those ten minutes he went missing.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Someone else we should be looking at. Roger Lambert.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Now, he went to school with James and Simon.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19In fact, they got into trouble for beating Simon up.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Why didn't he tell us that when he was dropping Simon Lo into it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26What are you planning on doing with him?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Right, here we are.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Ah! Simon. This is Mrs Beazley.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Hello, Simon.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Is this house yours?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Well, this was my father's house.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Is he dead now?
0:27:51 > 0:27:57Yes. Yes, he is, and Mrs Beazley looked after him for quite a while.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Right, Simon, why don't you come through to my surgery?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10What are you doing? I'm really not sure.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Erm, some tea, please.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Simon, can we talk about that question
0:28:20 > 0:28:22that cost you the championship?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I already said I should have won.
0:28:24 > 0:28:31They knew what they were doing with that question. Yes.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35A, moron, B, cretin, C, imbecile, D, idiot.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Idiot...idiot...
0:28:40 > 0:28:44It seems, if I may, the very mention of the word "idiot"
0:28:44 > 0:28:47makes your blood pressure increase instantly.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The adrenaline pumps through your system.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Your entire body is primed for fight or flight.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56It makes calm, logical thought damn-near impossible,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and that's what happened to you the other night, wasn't it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Yes.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Yes. No wonder you got that last question wrong.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12Your old schoolteacher took a fairly common term of abuse and he made it yours.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15The kids in the class picked up on it,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19and pretty soon you only had to hear the word and you'd lose all control.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Professor Waterman started it all.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Yes, when in fact,
0:29:26 > 0:29:32you are the furthest thing from an idiot I could possibly imagine.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Professor Waterman compiles questions for the show,
0:29:40 > 0:29:45and I'm pretty sure Patrick Tyneman and Alan conspired with him
0:29:45 > 0:29:50to get you kicked off.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Unfortunately, at the moment, I have no proof.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57He didn't like me. No, he did not.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Neither does your housekeeper.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Well, that's a little bit different.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05She just thought you were being rude.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Everyone thinks I killed James. Yes, they do.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Do you?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I don't know. Did you?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19No.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Do you know who did?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25No.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, seemingly you have considerable motive.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30You come across as quite angry,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34and that - that is why people think it was you.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39So, the question is - who else had a reason to kill him?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Do you have a blackboard?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48And then he brings him in here, into the house!
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Simon Lo. What?! That awful man from the show?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Yes!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Why?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well, why does the Doctor do any of these things?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05But isn't Simon Lo a suspect? Oh, yes.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Well, why would you bring him here? And how long is he going to stay for?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09I suggest you ask the Doctor.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Did you watch the show? Yes.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Then you'll know James appeared in five heats before the final.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Which composer is famous for writing the opera Cosi Fan Tutti?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Correct!
0:31:25 > 0:31:28A heat has a total of 25 questions.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32In every heat, he was asked at least 23 questions
0:31:32 > 0:31:36about music, sport, or European politics, his speciality subjects.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38So, you're saying the questions were rigged.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41That percentage is far beyond probability. During the first heat,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Verity Coleman stood at a standard distance from James.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47There's a standard distance?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Allowing for the distance from camera,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52the contestant occupies one half of the television screen
0:31:52 > 0:31:56while Verity occupied the other. So, I started out, just talking...
0:31:56 > 0:32:01That angle diminished over the course of James's five heats,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04culminating in our final appearance
0:32:04 > 0:32:08when Verity's position meant the camera had to move to include her.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Now, on at least five occasions -
0:32:10 > 0:32:14at least five occasions during shooting -
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I witnessed conversations of increasing length between James and Verity
0:32:17 > 0:32:21when details of impending questions could have been discussed.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Or perhaps there's more to it.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Such as?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29?1,000 in cash!
0:32:29 > 0:32:31They were having an affair.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Why would they? Why would anyone have an affair?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I don't understand your question.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Well, it's difficult to explain, but the point is,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47if Verity and James were, in fact, having an affair and Alan found out,
0:32:47 > 0:32:52that would give him a strong motive to kill James.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Stronger than being cheated out of winning the championship?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Maybe stronger.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Jean, erm, I think we might have to set another place for dinner.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09That man's eating with us?!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Yes, he is. Please.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14And then after that?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17After that I thought we could make up a bed in the spare room.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22And what if he electrocutes us all while we're sleeping?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Well, then I won't be wondering who killed James Holbrook, will I?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29By the way, I think Verity Coleman
0:33:29 > 0:33:31might've been having an affair with James.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Oh. How is that connected?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I'm not sure, but I think I'm going to have to
0:33:37 > 0:33:39make another visit to TV land.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Excuse me, sorry to trouble you, er, Dawn Prentice... Ah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Dawn, I'm wondering if we could have a chat.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59I'm very busy. We can walk together. Certainly.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04And tell me, what is it you actually do here at the station?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07During production, I'm stage manager.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Daily routine, I open and close the station,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13answer phones, take notes, organise schedules.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I do some repairs and I make tea.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19That's a lot of jobs. They're all menial.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Professor Waterman tells me you're very smart. Not as smart as Simon.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26You and James were engaged to be married, weren't you?
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Yes.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33He was a very popular contestant, wasn't he? Smart, handsome.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38It must have been difficult, seeing how other women reacted to him.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You're thinking something. Why don't you just ask it?
0:34:43 > 0:34:49All right. Was James having an affair with Verity Coleman,
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and if so, did Alan Coleman know about it?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58You're not sure, so you're trying to get a reaction from me.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01The question still stands.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03I loved James.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Verity, being Verity, always wants what she can't have.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15But James loved me, and that money was going to set us up for life.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Any more questions?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26No.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31TV: 'Today's forecasts are for Victoria.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36'A few light clearing showers in the southern district, otherwise fine.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39'Cool to mild day south-west to south-east winds...'
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Anything you need, Simon?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44A cup of tea.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46"A cup of tea, please."
0:35:50 > 0:35:53He was simply answering your question. Rudely.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Don't talk in front of him.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59I can't hear! Well, excuse us, Simon, but this is where we live.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01TV: 'Ladies and gentlemen,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03'Game Of Champions suffered a tragic loss.'
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I think I'll go make that cup of tea.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07No, I'll get it. Shush!
0:36:07 > 0:36:12'Holdover champion Simon Lo will return, but who will be his challenger?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16'Professor Michael Waterman, respected teacher and Simon's old schoolmaster.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20'The master meets the student on Game Of Champions
0:36:20 > 0:36:23'tomorrow night at half-past seven.'
0:36:23 > 0:36:27The man's a fool. He doesn't stand a chance.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Lawson, I think I've got another suspect for us.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Oh! No, no, hear me out, hear me out.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49Clearly Simon Lo struggles with any sense of emotional connection,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52but what he does understand is patterns,
0:36:52 > 0:36:56and what he saw with each ongoing episode of that show
0:36:56 > 0:37:02was Verity Coleman standing closer and closer to James Holbrook.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Every woman I've talked to wanted to stand closer to that bloke. Yes, I'm sure.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Look, Simon couldn't quite put it together, but what he described
0:37:09 > 0:37:12was essentially two people becoming interested in each other,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16and Dawn Prentice confirmed it.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Confirmed it? Yes, she knew.
0:37:19 > 0:37:25The question is, how much did Alan know and did he do anything about it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29So, studio full of people with motive?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Alan Coleman, Verity Coleman, Roger Lambert, and Simon Lo.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Look, historically,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I know that Simon's been at the centre of trouble,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41but it was never, never of his making.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45He still remains number one on my suspect list.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50'Live from Ballarat Studios,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54'BTV Channel 8 and Tyneman Electrics are proud to present
0:37:54 > 0:37:59'Game Of Champions, tonight at half-past seven.'
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You know they'll rig the questions? Yes.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And that word Waterman used to call you,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10that's how they'll try to make you feel.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11They're wrong.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Well, they'll still try.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18It's the way you described. Fight or flight.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23They can use that word. I'll be ready for it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28You don't have to go, you know. I'm smarter than Professor Waterman.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Even if it's rigged, I'll beat him.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34All right. ..Danny, keep an eye on him. Make sure there's no trouble.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Oh!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Simon! Sandwiches.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48I'm not hungry. Well, have them later.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Not an easy person to like, is he?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Well, depends what you're looking for.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51HE SIGHS
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Hello, Simon.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Have to get you ready. You know where the make-up room is.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Thank you, Constable. Oh, that's fine.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23He's hard work, isn't he? Yeah. Goodbye.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31ANNOUNCER: 'And now. please welcome the stars of the show,
0:40:31 > 0:40:35'Alan and Verity Coleman!'
0:40:35 > 0:40:37APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Thank you, Tony, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48to a very special episode of Game Of Champions.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Tonight, we present the student and the master.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56The returning champion and his teacher.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57'Ladies and gentlemen...'
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I'm confused. I don't know if I want him to win or not.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05There's no pattern. None of this makes any sense.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Do we have to talk about this now?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Simon, your next question.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16What question appears as number 75 on the periodic table?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19A, magnesium, B, rhenium,
0:41:19 > 0:41:24C, beryllium, D, silicon.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Number 75 on the periodic table is rhenium.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Correct.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Whoever killed James left no evidence
0:41:36 > 0:41:39apart from one screw on the dressing room floor.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Now, a number of people had access to that room,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46and therefore the television, before and after the show.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Any one of them could have killed him.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I'll turn it up.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52What are we missing? Quite a lot, actually.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56..Seventh king of England, following invasion by the House of Normandy?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59A, King John, B, King Henry,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01C, King Lear, D, King Edward.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03King John was the seventh king of England
0:42:03 > 0:42:06after the invasion of Normandy.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Correct! Perfect score.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15He's a machine! He's not a machine,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17he's just very intelligent
0:42:17 > 0:42:20in a very particular way.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24James Holbrook was loved by everyone, wasn't he? Hmm, quite literally.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Yet someone sabotaged that television
0:42:27 > 0:42:31so that after he won the quiz, he'd be killed.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33But why would someone want to kill him?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Unless we're asking the wrong question.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37TV: 'Professor Waterman...'
0:42:37 > 0:42:39If James wasn't actually expected to win.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42'You'll need to have your skates on tonight.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44'Are you ready to quiz?'
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I am, Alan.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Simon, you'll be off-air for the Professor's round.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53ELECTRICITY CRACKLES
0:42:53 > 0:42:56SCREAMING
0:42:56 > 0:43:01COMMOTION
0:43:01 > 0:43:04INTERMISSION MUSIC PLAYS Bloody hell!
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Oh!
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to make your way
0:43:12 > 0:43:14to the foyer in a quiet and orderly fashion.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Everything is under control. Thank you.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42I'll shut down the studio till I can get the wiring checked.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Why would someone want to kill him on air?
0:43:49 > 0:43:52What the hell just happened? I don't know.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55You're paid to do a job, Roger. I checked those wires.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00This is a total bloody disaster! A man just died live on television!
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Save your arguments for later, please.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06How am I supposed to sell electrical appliances
0:44:06 > 0:44:09when this clown's contestants keep on getting electrocuted?
0:44:09 > 0:44:14Shut up, Patrick! Everybody down to the station now.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Needle in a haystack.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Four needles in a very large haystack.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26Only one of them tampered with those headphones.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29DOOR CLOSES
0:44:56 > 0:44:58The questions were rigged.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I didn't need to kill him.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06I checked everything before the show. Everything.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11I don't think people realised just how smart Simon was.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13I did.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17I heard it in the headphones.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I actually touched his hand.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22What do you think of James?
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Simon had enemies. James didn't.
0:45:26 > 0:45:31James was going to be our star. Our new champion.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33What did you think of Simon?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35I couldn't stand Simon.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40But to see him just lying there.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Does this mean whoever killed Simon probably killed James too?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Sir? What?
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Mr Tyneman's downstairs, wants to talk to you.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13Great(!)
0:46:21 > 0:46:23For God's sake, Lawson, it's two in the morning!
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I've been waiting an hour and a half,
0:46:25 > 0:46:28I've been treated like a criminal,
0:46:28 > 0:46:31and you will never, NEVER tell me to shut up again!
0:46:31 > 0:46:33Two people have been murdered, Patrick.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34You think I don't know that?
0:46:34 > 0:46:37One of those murdered was in here yesterday
0:46:37 > 0:46:40claiming that you tried to kill him. You pushed him in front of a car.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42You were also present tonight at Simon Lo's death.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45You've made no secret about how much you hated him. EVERYBODY hated him.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48And it was your television that killed Mr Holbrook!
0:46:48 > 0:46:52Should I keep going?! You don't believe any of this.
0:46:52 > 0:46:57You can go home for now, and I'll tell you to shut up when I need to!
0:47:08 > 0:47:11You too, Parks. Go home.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12Yes, sir.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Does this mean whoever killed Simon probably killed James, too?
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Yes?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Oh, I'm sorry, I know it's late.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34I didn't think you'd be sleeping.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Huh!
0:47:37 > 0:47:41Danny? Evening. Danny.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47You've been busy. Yes. Am I missing out on something?
0:47:47 > 0:47:50All right, I'm going to say it.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54He was a difficult man, but he didn't deserve to die like that.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56No, he certainly didn't.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00You know, I've been asking two questions.
0:48:01 > 0:48:06Who would want to kill James, and two, who would want to kill Simon?
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Well, the second question's easier than the first.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13Jean, say you were running a successful quiz show
0:48:13 > 0:48:16and you were the star of that show.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17So, she's Alan Coleman? Yes.
0:48:17 > 0:48:22You want to get rid of a particularly unpopular contestant. What do you do?
0:48:22 > 0:48:27I'd keep asking him difficult questions until he got one wrong.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31You wouldn't kill him? No, why would I? Yeah, I would do that too.
0:48:31 > 0:48:36Say your wife is becoming close to another contestant.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39I'd smack him out! I'd talk to her.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42I'd confront them both, and then I'd divorce her.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Right. So, you wouldn't kill James or Simon?
0:48:45 > 0:48:47I wouldn't need to.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Danny, James and Simon got you kicked out of school.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Now you're doomed to work in a repair shop for the rest of your life.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53Mm-hm. You kill them?
0:48:53 > 0:48:57No, you wouldn't, would you? Hey, this is my question!
0:48:57 > 0:48:58Why now?
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Well, you tell me.
0:49:00 > 0:49:05Well, because they're both more successful than me? I don't know.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08It's just... Why wouldn't I get back at them years ago?
0:49:08 > 0:49:12And why wouldn't just beat 'em up? I mean, it's so much more simpler.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15I agree. All right. Mattie, you're Verity...
0:49:15 > 0:49:17No, I want to be Dawn. Why?
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Well, from what you said, that would make me the smartest.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Right, right.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24OK, you went to school with James and Simon,
0:49:24 > 0:49:27but no-one really paid much attention to you.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Well, everyone seems to be paying attention to Simon,
0:49:30 > 0:49:32and now he's on the show, it's all happening again.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Uh-huh. Why do you kill your fiance?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40I don't know.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Do I love him? He's your ticket out of here.
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Well, then why would I kill him? I wouldn't. I couldn't.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Was it an accident?
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Now we're asking the right question.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16Good evening, Dawn. Ready for your questions?
0:50:18 > 0:50:21What are you doing HERE? Giving you your moment in the spotlight
0:50:21 > 0:50:25after all these years in Simon Lo's shadow. Are you ready?
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Who was the smartest person in your class at school?
0:50:28 > 0:50:34A, Simon Lo, B, James Holbrook, C, Roger Lambert, or, D, Dawn Prentice.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Come on, give me your answer.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Simon Lo!
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Wrong!
0:50:39 > 0:50:43The correct answer is D, Dawn Prentice.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Next question... You shouldn't be here.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47I'm calling security. True or false.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51You didn't know Alan Coleman and Patrick Tyneman
0:50:51 > 0:50:54were conspiring to get Simon off the show. Come on, Dawn.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56True. Correct.
0:50:56 > 0:51:01You had no idea James was meant to be champion,
0:51:01 > 0:51:04otherwise you would never have sabotaged that television set.
0:51:04 > 0:51:05Is this all a game to you?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08No. No, not at all,
0:51:08 > 0:51:11and it wasn't a game for you either, was it?
0:51:11 > 0:51:14True or false. You loved James.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17True! You hated Simon. True!
0:51:17 > 0:51:20But you only ever meant to kill Simon, didn't you?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22True or false. Come on.
0:51:24 > 0:51:25Answer me! True!
0:51:27 > 0:51:29I killed the man I loved.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Simon was going to become champion.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36He was going to take our money, so, yes, true!
0:51:38 > 0:51:42The sad thing is, Dawn, that makes you the real loser in all of this.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47The loser always leaves with nothing.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48Dawn Prentice, I'm arresting you
0:51:48 > 0:51:52for the murders of Simon Lo and James Holbrook.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56Anything you say may be taken down and used in evidence against you.
0:51:58 > 0:51:59True.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07'Ladies and gentlemen,
