0:00:21 > 0:00:23'Newly elected councillors...

0:00:30 > 0:00:34'for the position of Lord Mayor.'

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Thank you, Mr Beattie.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Mr Trevorrow?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54For the position of Lord Mayor,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57all in favour of the Honourable Bruce Beattie?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Adeline?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Adeline! For God's sake, put up your hand.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Four votes in favour. - Adeline!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10All in favour of the Honourable Graham Trevorrow?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Five votes in favour.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Graham Trevorrow is the re-elected Mayor of Ballarat.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46DULL THUD
0:01:55 > 0:01:57BANGING AND SCUFFLING
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hello?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30SHE SCREAMS
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Look who's here.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Lovely to see you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Lucien!- Ah!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- I'm so sorry I'm late. That damned car of your father's.- Jean.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Oh, it's great to see you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, of course, you know Joy.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Mrs McDonald. - Jean. How are you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53We happened to be on the same bus. Joy's covering the council election.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You're wanted at the Town Hall.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Police business.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Really? Already?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I've brought your medical bag along.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03What would I do without you?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Excuse me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Lovely surprise seeing you, Joy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You too, Lucien.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- I left my desk right on 9:30. - 9:30.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Danny.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Excuse me, Mrs Campbell. You must be Dr Blake.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Superintendent Lawson's waiting for you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Right. And you are?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Conducting an interview.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Sorry about that, Mrs Campbell.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Was anyone in the building when you left?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50No, I was working late.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56You're back, then?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57- Yes.- How was Shanghai?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, Shanghai was fine. Who's the new chap?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Charlie Davis.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Parks has been seconded to Melbourne.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Davis is his replacement.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Didn't Jean tell you?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Who do we have here?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Bloody hell, Graham Trevorrow!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Re-elected Mayor three hours ago. Fifth year in a row.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Dear, oh, dear.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I'd say broken neck,
0:05:29 > 0:05:30probable cause of death.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Landed somewhere here, split the scalp.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Possibly broke his neck at the same time. There's blood here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44And there's blood here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Bear with me.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54No protective injuries on the hands or wrists.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, the bloke was drunk.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59You'd have to be catatonic to not at least try and protect yourself.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Blake!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Now, you see, Charlie here fell from a height of about six feet,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08give or take.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09But before he hit the ground,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12his hands were already braced for impact.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Now, Graham Trevorrow,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16if the wound was caused by him landing on the steps,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19or indeed by the urn falling on him,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22there may be some blood spray,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24but the amount of blood we're talking about here
0:06:24 > 0:06:30suggests significant bleeding from the back of the head before he fell.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33He was already injured, perhaps,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35perhaps already dead.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Glad to have me back?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I'll let you know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And I wouldn't go pulling any more stunts like that
0:06:44 > 0:06:46with the senior constable.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, he'll get used to us.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Ah, no.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51No, I don't think he will.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Victim was male, 6'1", 200 lbs. Quite a big chap.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Did you get any sleep last night? - Did you?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Um, minimal damage to the clothing.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22However, there was a button missing at the top of the trousers,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23front right-hand side.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And there... Oh, hang on a second.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Ah, there was also an unusual amount of dust inside the trousers.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Dust?- Yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I have no idea. The missing button may not mean anything, either.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'll get Davis to keep an eye out for it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Anything else?- Hairline fracture.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Contusions to the rear upper skull.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48The urn was responsible for some damage, certainly, but not all.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50There were other blows to the head,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but the cause of death was a single blow to the back of the neck,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57delivered with sufficient force to sever the spinal cord.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03He was murdered, and then thrown down the stairs.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Look, I really don't appreciate this, Constable.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Superintendent.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12First, we're dragged out of our beds at some godforsaken hour
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and then told Trevorrow's taken a fall down the stairs
0:08:15 > 0:08:19and now your bloke here wants to know what I was doing last night.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Sir, I was trying to explain...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23What were you doing last night, Mr Beattie?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Having dinner with my family.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Were you there the whole night? - No.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I went out. And what's that got to do with anything?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33We might continue this in the interview room, Senior Constable.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Why all the questions, huh?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I was at home from 6:45 till 9:30
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and then I had a meeting with Patrick Tyneman.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Was your family there the whole time?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45No, they went out.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Show Mr Beattie upstairs, thank you, Senior Constable.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- If you follow me, please, Mr Beattie.- Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Patrick Tyneman.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59You leave it to me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03He knows he has patients this morning.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- How was he?- I've already told you, Mattie. He seemed perfectly fine.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11But did he say anything about his daughter?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Or China?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Well!- Morning.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I do apologise for missing breakfast.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Ah, Mattie!
0:09:19 > 0:09:20How are you?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I'm good. How are you? - I'm good. Good, yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We were expecting you last night and waited up for you all night.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Mattie! Let the doctor get his breath.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Let me tell you both something. I am very, very glad to be home.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Now, patients, you say?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Very good. I expect Nell will be wanting her prescription renewed.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Is she here?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Um, Lucien?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I didn't want to have to tell you last night.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Nell Clasby's passed away.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Couple of weeks ago.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It was pneumonia.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'm so very sorry, Lucien.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Patients.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Who's up first?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Um, Mrs Sinclair.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Mrs Sinclair.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Thank you, Jean.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Mrs Sinclair, how are we today?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And how's the little one? Good, eh?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Excuse me, what are you doing?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46What does it look like?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00The Council met at 6:00.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03We were out of there by 6:30.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I came straight back to my office.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Charlie.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Ah, keep an eye out for that trouser button, won't you?
0:11:11 > 0:11:12The superintendent already told me.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17What are you doing here, anyway?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Well, I always find it useful to revisit a crime scene, Charlie.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You never know what you might have missed.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I came in to congratulate Graham.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Would have been 8:00.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29And after that?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35After that I went home and listened to the Test on the wireless.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38The Test, Mr Calahan. What did you make of that first innings?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Oh, I think Benaud is a miracle.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45But I don't think we should write off India just yet.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Any family who can vouch for you? - No, no, just me.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Tell me, Graham Trevorrow.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Was he... Was he a friend of yours?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Friend?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Douglas gave everything to put Graham where he was.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02He was utterly married to the work.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Friend does not begin to... - Frances, Frances.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Superintendent, may I have a word, please?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Graham was Mayor for four years. This town owes him an enormous debt.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, Frances...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm fine, Douglas, thank you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28May I ask that you and your men are careful with what you say about him?
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Graham was an important man. He was destined for greater things.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I can't imagine what his political opponents
0:12:38 > 0:12:39will be saying about him now.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Mrs Trevorrow, we believe this may not have been an accident.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45God!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Well, that's awful.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Is there anyone that we should be speaking to?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Um...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Oh, Bruce Beattie, I suppose.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Douglas had to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get Graham re-elected.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Bruce was furious.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Is there anything else you need from me?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10No, we'll call you if there is. Thank you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23What was that about Trevorrow's re-election?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25We lost two councillors at the last election.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30And Bruce had the numbers on us, so I turned up the pressure on Adeline.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Councillor Campbell. She'd allied herself to Bruce.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39We sat on committees together. I worked on her for months.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Oh, I see. That was your rabbit out of the hat?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Certainly took Bruce by surprise.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So who becomes Mayor now? You?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53No. No, I'm walking away from politics.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Graham was a born politician.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We were going to go all the way to Canberra together.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I can get the numbers now,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06but this by-election might make things more difficult.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07What about Calahan?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09He's finished. And now with Trevorrow gone...
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Gentlemen. Please don't stop on my account.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15We'll follow up on this later.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19What were you talking about last night after Graham Trevorrow died?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It must have been fairly important.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I thought you were overseas.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29In fact, I'm surprised to see you back,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31with the mess you left here last time you were here.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Someone's got to keep an eye on you, Patrick.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37You'll find things have changed a bit since you were last here.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- And about time. - Blake. Patrick.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42He's still your problem.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Bruce Beattie and Patrick Tyneman
0:14:48 > 0:14:50both wanted Trevorrow out of the way.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I told you to leave this to me.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55What, because Patrick may somehow be involved we stop asking questions?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58After you headed overseas, I told him I'd reinstated you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01He said any your infractions would be sheeted home to me.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Oh, for heaven's sake, he's not the bloody Police Commissioner.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07No, but he holidays with the Commissioner and his family
0:15:07 > 0:15:08in Sorrento each year.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Which is why tripping up Senior Constable Davis was a bad idea.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16You think Davis was sent up here to keep tabs on you?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Not just me. You, me, everyone.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22So pull your head in and concentrate on what's important.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Now, we still don't know where Trevorrow was killed.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Did the dust on his trousers give us anything?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Oh, at this point, I have no idea.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Are you sure we should be discounting Patrick?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34You think just because he threatened me I won't do my job? Hm!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Forgive me. Of course not.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Then go home.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Excuse me, Doctor, it's, um...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Oh!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Joy! How are you?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What on Earth are you doing?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Um, an experiment.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15When you die, your blood coagulates
0:16:15 > 0:16:20and I'm using jelly crystals to simulate some of that same effect.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Is this to do with Graham Trevorrow? - Oh!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Of course. Patrick Tyneman brought you up here.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32He told me there was going to be significant change at Town Hall.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Exactly what kind of change?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Political change. He was backing Bruce Beattie.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42So, what's the purpose?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44There was blood on the steps of Town Hall
0:16:44 > 0:16:47with a very particular consistency.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'll show you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Fresh blood.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54You see the shape of it?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It's smooth. It sort of flattens out.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Like water.- Exactly.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Now...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05..here's the blood with the jelly crystals mixed in.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- You're speeding up coagulation. - Exactly.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17The blood on the steps had a very similar consistency to the jelly,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20suggesting a time gap of about 30 minutes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Now, what does it mean?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It means that Graham Trevorrow must have been dead
0:17:25 > 0:17:28for at least half an hour before his body was thrown down the stairs.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And Patrick wants to know what I know, and he's sent you to find out.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I came because I wanted to see you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Really?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47You don't believe me, do you?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Course I do.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52The superintendent is making enquiries.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And I'm guessing you won't tell me what they are.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Graham Trevorrow was murdered somewhere in the Town Hall.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But you don't know where, do you?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10No.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13But let me buy you a drink at the club and we can discuss it further.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Would you like to make another appointment, Mrs McDonald?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Oh, I'll play it by ear.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22But thanks all the same.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28This is where you usually warn me to stay away from him, isn't it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Is that what you're about to do? - Sorry to disappoint you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We're very lucky he's come back at all, really.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38He's a very important member of this community
0:18:38 > 0:18:42and anything that encourages him to stay here is very welcome.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46He enjoys your visits.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48His mood improves, and that's no bad thing.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55And what about yourself, Jean?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Good afternoon, Mrs McDonald.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Cleaned up any more blood this morning?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12The police have gone through the place
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and talked to everyone, including me.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Now, if you don't mind...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I wonder if the council knows their cleaner spent time in jail?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Who told you?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26That tattoo on your arm.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And your reaction just now.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32What do you want?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Look, you said the police had been right through this place.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Did they check everywhere? - Just about.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38So not everywhere?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Why don't you have a look for yourself?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52What are you doing?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Going through Graham Trevorrow's clothes.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58No, there are proper procedures for the correct handling of evidence.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02You've been looking for a missing button, I believe.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Where did you find this?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15In the basement of the Town Hall.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- You think that's where he was murdered?- No.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I think it was where he was meeting his lover.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21How do you work that out?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Come on, Charlie. You're a man of the world.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Ever lost a button from your braces?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I don't wear braces.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Right. Well, it can happen if you pack on a few pounds,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35or if you find yourself in a fight, or...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38if a lady friend becomes rather too enthusiastic.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'm still not getting it, Doctor.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Look. Lipstick. Now, I'm guessing that was on Trevorrow's face,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and he wiped it off after she'd gone.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Trevorrow was re-elected just after 6:00.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Spoke with Doug Calahan around 8:00 and he was dead by 9:00.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58In between those times,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01he had sex with a woman in the basement of the Town Hall,
0:23:01 > 0:23:06which rather increases the range of possible motivations for killing him.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Of course, you'll tell Lawson you worked all this out, won't you?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12And, by the way, do you know Patrick Tyneman?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I've heard of him.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Why?- No reason.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Listen, would you also inform the superintendent
0:23:18 > 0:23:22that I found blood on the door leading to the offices.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27And if he needs me, I'll be at home, conducting research.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Mm!
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Now what?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now kiss your hand.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Oh, come on, Mattie, with a little more passion, please.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Let me wipe that off.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That's hard to get out, you know.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well, there's a lot more on that one.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Or maybe that's a stronger lipstick.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Or a lot more kissing.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09I can't believe I didn't detect any lipstick on him during the autopsy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14It's not quite red.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Bright red's popular with some people.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And that sends a message, is that right?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Oh, yes.- Not necessarily.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- That's a different kind of red. - It's much darker.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's stronger. It's a statement.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It's a statement. Saying what?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's saying, 'I'm a very attractive woman.'
0:24:34 > 0:24:36But not conventional.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- She has more authority than that. - And she has money.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That's an expensive lipstick. It's not waxy, you see?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Right. Would it hold up in court?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Absolutely not. But it would in my sewing circle.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54It's hardly scientific.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55I know, but worth a try, eh?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Excuse me, ladies, ladies.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04If we could have a moment of your time. Just carry on working.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Superintendent.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Mrs Campbell.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Could we have a word?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52What were your feelings about the deceased, Mrs Campbell?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Graham was an arrogant bastard. I hated him.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59And when did that change?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Oh, you can blame Doug Calahan for that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04We sat on committees together.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It was Doug who convinced me to change my allegiance.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09You might have to explain.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Doug read the numbers.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16He knew that Graham was in trouble and that I might be useful.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17So he worked on me.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21But it wasn't until very recently
0:26:21 > 0:26:24that Graham himself actually took any notice of me.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28And that's when you changed your mind about him?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Graham was a powerful man. It was good being noticed by him.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Wasn't there a conflict of politics there?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I was elected as an independent.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Bruce made certain promises, benefits to the electorate.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Doug Calahan trumped those.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46What happened last night?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Graham came to thank me for my support...
0:26:53 > 0:26:55..and it went further.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Afterwards, he went back to his office, I went back to mine
0:27:00 > 0:27:02and the next time I saw him, he...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Were you in love with Graham Trevorrow, Mrs Campbell?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08I'm not a schoolgirl.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13He was a consummate politician. Everything was about himself.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15And you didn't mind that?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19He wasn't the only one who enjoyed himself.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23My husband died five years ago.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm not going to dress in black for the rest of my life.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Mrs Trevorrow.- Superintendent.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Does this have to become public knowledge?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I take it you mean Mrs Campbell.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Did you know about this?- No.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53But when I heard she was being questioned,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55it didn't take long to work out why.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Doug Calahan believed your husband could be prime minister.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59We all did.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01One more year as mayor,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03while Douglas planned the move into Federal politics.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05But then he goes and has an affair.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11How many times did he have sex with her?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Uh, once, from what we can tell.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Hardly qualifies as an affair.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I spent my entire marriage turning a blind eye to this sort of thing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I just don't want it thrown back in my face in public.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32Might there be an angry husband who wanted to hurt Mr Trevorrow?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Maybe.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38And what about you, Mrs Trevorrow?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I gave everything to Graham.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45People tended to do that, you know?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Now that he's gone, his reputation is all that I have.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Please, don't destroy it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58This won't become public unless there's a need to know.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Thank you.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06No murder weapon.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Still no murder site. - Yes, I'm aware of that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I'll tell you this - whoever killed Trevorrow
0:29:11 > 0:29:14dragged his body along that Town Hall corridor.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Goodbye.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29You told me once there were consolations to living in Ballarat.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Are they still enough?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Goodness, did I say that? - You know you did.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39And don't wave it away with a joke. I'm interested.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Truth is, I was actually looking forward to getting back.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Of course, I get back and things are different.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Different how?- Oh, the usual ways.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Someone dies, someone leaves.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I guess I made the mistake
0:29:58 > 0:30:01of thinking that somehow all this was permanent.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I could help, you know.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Find ways to make life more bearable...
0:30:14 > 0:30:16..if you let me.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Wouldn't that affect your employment with Patrick Tyneman?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25We're all adults, Lucien.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31So, what's going on at Town Hall?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Joy McDonald, you are shameless. - As I said, I'm interested.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And Trevorrow did have a certain reputation.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40No comment.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41I'll take that as a yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Thank you. Who's involved?
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Bruce Beattie.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- Thwarted ambition.- Mm.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I know you'll think I'm completely mad, but Patrick's in the mix.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I'll put that down to your own fixation.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05And Frances Trevorrow. Adeline Campbell.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Councillor for Central Ward. - What's her involvement?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Well, let's just say, um...Graham Trevorrow's reputation.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19And I'd talk to Carl Laidley, the cleaner.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I'm convinced he knows more than he's letting on.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- He won't talk to you? - I may have threatened him somewhat.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Hm.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Now, if you've finished with my pen...
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I might need it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And it's a good excuse to see you later.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Why are you smiling?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48I suppose this really is the only way of getting to know you.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Excuse me. Could we have another round, please?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I feel sorry for both those women, really.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Oh, I wouldn't waste your sympathy.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- That's a little harsh. - Well, he was a married man.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10She shouldn't have let him get away with it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13And the other one just shouldn't have gone there.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Thank you, Jean. This looks wonderful.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21You're welcome. Now, how's the study coming along?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Well...- Study?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Mm.- I am taking classes in Melbourne.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Social work.- Social work?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Why social work?
0:32:32 > 0:32:33- Well, nursing's fine.- Mm.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So's medicine.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38But I want to see more of life.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Make a difference for a change.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Make a difference, eh? A little harsh on medicine, don't you think?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- Well, I didn't mean... - Lucien, don't tease her.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I'll stay on as district nurse until I graduate, and after that...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Mattie, Mattie.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Good for you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Experiencing more of life is nearly always a good thing.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Did you know social workers used to be called almoners?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Always loved that term.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- KNOCK ON DOOR - Oh.- Mm-mm. I'll get it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Coming! - That wasn't so bad, was it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Matthew.- Lucien.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34One of the clerks found her.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I thought you'd like to see her.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Thank you, Matthew.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I'll get Doctor Verner to do the autopsy.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Would that be all right?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Verner does good work.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Matthew.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49The last time I saw Joy,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51she was asking me about Trevorrow.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58And I suggested
0:34:58 > 0:35:03that she talk to the cleaner here, Carl Laidley.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06We'll find him.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Cause of death...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00'..severe trauma to the head.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03'Haematomas...
0:36:05 > 0:36:08'..depression fracture of the skull.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13'Possible finger marks suggest...
0:36:17 > 0:36:21'..suggest struggle taking place before she died.'
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Finger marks.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27'Injuries and context suggest...
0:36:30 > 0:36:35'..victim was thrown or pushed from the upper storey landing.'
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Doctor, uh...
0:36:43 > 0:36:46..Mrs McDonald's effects.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Yes, of course.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Thank you, Charlie.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00I ran by Laidley's place.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- We've brought him in. - Good work.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06My pen.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09I lent Joy my pen. It's not here.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Oh, that was everything that she had with her.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18You might want to go home and leave this to us now.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I think I might stay here, if I may.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Staff at the Town Hall said they saw Carl Laidley with her.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48They were arguing. Apparently he was shouting.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55Maybe he tried it on with her and she fought him. I don't know.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57How does that fit in with Trevorrow?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Carl Laidley and Graham Trevorrow grew up on the same street together.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05They both dated the same girl, a Frances Toohey,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07now Frances Trevorrow.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Is that enough of a reason?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Two murders in exactly the same place.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14KNOCK ON DOOR
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I'm sorry, there was no-one on the desk.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Lucien, I'm so sorry about Joy.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I brought you some lunch. Thought you might be starving by now.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Thank you, Jean.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Will you be home later?
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Um...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- I don't know.- No, no.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47There'll be dinner, either way.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Matthew.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Mr Laidley.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Are you hungry?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Let's see what we have here.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41Corned beef, mustard, lettuce and tomato.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Made by a very good friend of mine.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59I didn't hurt that girl of yours.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03How do you know I knew her?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04She told me.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10I heard you two had an argument.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Now, what was that about?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17She got really pushy.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Asked a lot of questions.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24So I shouted at her.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Lawson tells me...
0:40:29 > 0:40:32..you and Frances Trevorrow used to go out together.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I knew Graham from way back.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Had the charm.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Took whatever he wanted, women included.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49I didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Mr Laidley, the night Trevorrow died,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56who came to his office?
0:40:56 > 0:40:57All the staff.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Then Graham closed the door.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Got me to unlock the back.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Had an important meeting.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09With who?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11That toff. You know?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Patrick Tyneman?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Talked for about half an hour.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I heard him go out.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I locked up again, then went home.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- I thought they hated each other. - They did.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27And I told your girl about that, too.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Here.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Thank you, Mr Laidley.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41You leave Tyneman to me.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Those men were enemies for years.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Trevorrow would always block Tyneman's tenders to council.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50And listen, Tyneman meets with him the night he's re-elected mayor.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Half an hour later, Trevorrow's dead at the bottom of the bloody stairs.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56So he goes ahead and murders two people, does he?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Oh, I don't know. I do know this. It wasn't Carl Laidley.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Well, Davis spoke to one of the clerks there.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Laidley left the Town Hall with him.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08They played cards. There were others present.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Joy was still alive when they left the Town Hall.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14So you've released Laidley?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Yes.- Good.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's make sure he goes back to work.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Blake! - Listen, find who killed Trevorrow,
0:42:21 > 0:42:22and we find who killed Joy,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and I'm telling you, Patrick's involved somehow.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27You leave Tyneman to me.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Patrick. - Lawson, what the hell is going on?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35It's just a few questions about Joy McDonald, if you don't mind.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Lucien.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Matthew said you left almost an hour ago.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58I wrote Joy's parents a letter, sending my condolences.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- She was very fond of you. - Mm.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Yes.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08And look where that got her.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14She went to that Town Hall because I as good as sent her there.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17I couldn't protect her. I shouldn't be surprised.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I couldn't protect my wife, my own daughter.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Hell, I couldn't prevent Danny from going to Melbourne.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25And don't get me started on Nell Clasby. Bloody hell.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Well, if you're going to wallow around in self-pity,
0:43:29 > 0:43:30I might just head home.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Joy was there because she wanted to be, and the same goes for all of us.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44You think you have to do everything by yourself, Lucien.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45It's not possible.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48You do your best,
0:43:48 > 0:43:52and sometimes, well, sometimes it's just not enough.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05Jean, they both died in exactly the same place.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Well, that sounds very deliberate.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11- You think so?- Absolutely.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Someone went out of their way to make that happen.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19So, whatever it is, the answer has to be at the Town Hall.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19Mrs Campbell.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23What can I do for you, Doctor?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27I hope you don't mind. Sadly, my memory isn't what it should be.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- Graham Trevorrow... - I've told you everything.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31I don't think you have.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37You told us you meant nothing to him.
0:45:37 > 0:45:38I didn't.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44That's not his writing.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47You could barely read Graham's handwriting.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49The typing girls had a terrible time with him.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- Then whose writing is it? - It's Doug Calahan's.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56He and Graham were always passing notes back and forth in council.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57But who's it about?
0:45:57 > 0:45:58Well, I think it's about you.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06One more thing if I may, Mrs Campbell.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Doug Calahan.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12Did he have a transistor radio, a wireless, in his office?
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Of course he did. He was always working back.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16He listens to the cricket.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22CRICKET COMMENTARY ON RADIO
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Mr Calahan?
0:46:24 > 0:46:27CRICKET COMMENTARY ON RADIO
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Calahan, stop!
0:48:22 > 0:48:23Calahan.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Stop him! Stop him!
0:48:28 > 0:48:31CALAHAN SCREAMS
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Please! Please! Don't let me fall.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57I can't hold you!
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Give me your other hand.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25You tried to save her.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30But you couldn't hang on.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43I-I came into my office and she was there.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46She knew.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50What happened?
0:49:50 > 0:49:52I tried to stop her.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54She ran out onto the landing.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56I grabbed her and she toppled over the rail.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01But I couldn't hold her.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04And Graham Trevorrow?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12We found traces of blood on the bat.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Even though you'd cleaned it and oiled it
0:50:20 > 0:50:22at some point over the last few days.
0:50:22 > 0:50:28A collectible bat kept on display doesn't require oiling.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Do you gentlemen know your cricket?
0:50:34 > 0:50:35A little.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40Melbourne, January 1937.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Bradman scored 270 in the second innings.
0:50:46 > 0:50:51But in the end, it was his tactics that won the game.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55That's why Graham bought me the bat.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59I was working, as usual,
0:50:59 > 0:51:00listening to the radio.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05And he told me what he and Adeline had done.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09He knew what she meant to you, didn't he?
0:51:12 > 0:51:14He thought I was talking about her vote.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19You gave him everything. Everything.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21And he took it all, including her.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Well, she never knew how I felt.
0:51:26 > 0:51:27It was just politics at first.
0:51:29 > 0:51:30Graham needed her.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34But we sat on committees together
0:51:34 > 0:51:37and I started looking forward to each day.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40I thought I was fine not having a life of my own.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46In the matter of Graham Trevorrow,
0:51:46 > 0:51:50one blow to the back of the head, one blow to the back of the neck.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Yes.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57- In the matter of Joy McDonald... - I never meant to hurt her.
0:52:00 > 0:52:01I am so sorry.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15We're charging Douglas Calahan with the murder of your husband
0:52:15 > 0:52:18and the manslaughter of Mrs McDonald.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21We expect he'll plead guilty to all charges.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Thank you.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Will you tell Douglas something from me?
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Of course.
0:52:36 > 0:52:40Tell him if Graham wanted that woman, he had no right to complain.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46That's what we all had to put up with in order to be with Graham.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Was it worth it, Mrs Trevorrow?
0:52:51 > 0:52:52No.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55But that's beside the point.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Gentlemen.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Your father used to come here, too.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38Yes, I remember as a boy coming down here with Dad. It was wonderful.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- Do you mind if I join you? - Please.
0:53:43 > 0:53:44Hop in out of the cold.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Ah!
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Enjoying the view?
0:53:54 > 0:53:55Isn't it something?
0:53:57 > 0:54:00What happened with your daughter, Lucien?
0:54:04 > 0:54:06I have a photograph.
0:54:10 > 0:54:11Oh.
0:54:12 > 0:54:13Oh, she's beautiful.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Yes, isn't she?
0:54:17 > 0:54:20I'm told my wife died shortly after they fled Singapore.
0:54:20 > 0:54:24Thankfully, the boat made it to the mainland,
0:54:24 > 0:54:28and Lee was taken in by a lovely local family.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30She's 23 now.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34Of course, it's funny, isn't it?
0:54:34 > 0:54:37In my mind, even though the years have marched on,
0:54:37 > 0:54:40she's always been a little girl.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Anyhow, she, um...
0:54:45 > 0:54:48..she didn't want to see me. She asked me to leave.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56Oh, surely you will.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07What will you do now?
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Now I'm going to drive you and I home.
