0:00:04 > 0:00:06DISTANT CONVERSATION
0:00:10 > 0:00:12THEY SPEAK IN ITALIAN
0:00:24 > 0:00:26HE EXCLAIMS IN ITALIAN
0:00:46 > 0:00:49It's all right, I s'pose. She's so pretty.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- What about him? - Oh, Cary Grant's gorgeous.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Isn't he? I couldn't take my eyes off him.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55RUSTLING, TWIGS SNAPPING
0:00:55 > 0:00:56What was that?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Anyway...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04RUSTLING CONTINUES Hello?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hello?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Wonder how long he'd been following us.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18What?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- That man. - What about him?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- He was here yesterday. - So?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26He hasn't moved at all.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Good morning.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Martha... - Excuse me?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Oh, my God.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Morning.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What have we got?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41We don't know.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You checked his pockets?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45No, must have slipped our minds.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Packet of cigarettes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Used train ticket from Bendigo via Castlemaine
0:02:56 > 0:02:58the day before yesterday.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00A numbered key tag.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Don't know where from.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08A money clip with 30 quid but no ID.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Right.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Well done, thank you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16His clothes are damp.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Dew, probably. Judging by rigor mortis,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I'd say the poor chap's been here for at least 12 hours.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23The woman who called it in said
0:03:23 > 0:03:25she saw him here about 3 o'clock yesterday.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- She didn't realise he was dead. - Right.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Well, no obvious signs of foul play.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Initial impression, natural causes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39However...he looks fit, doesn't he?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Finished?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yes. Well, until the autopsy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Everything ready, Sister?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's "Doctor", actually.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Alice Harvey, the new pathology registrar.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Oh, I do apologise. - No need, it happens all the time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, it shouldn't. Doctor Lucien Blake.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I thought you'd be younger. - I used to be.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Oh. No-one told me you had a sense of humour.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Before we start,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17your dead man has removed all the labels from his clothing.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I assume there's a reason.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Yes, I'm sure there probably is.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Skin irritation, or perhaps simply aesthetics.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Any suggestions?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Not yet.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Well, then, Doctor, shall we?
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Adult male, approximately 40 to 45 years of age.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Six foot tall, blue eyes, brown hair.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I think you'll find the hair is grey.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's been dyed.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You see here, there's a hint of regrowth.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Why would a man do that? - That's a very good question.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Vanity, perhaps?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Anyhow, no distinguishing scars or tattoos.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04No puncture marks.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07His nails are very well manicured. No calluses.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10But this is interesting. Bruising on the knuckles.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Was he trying to disguise himself?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Dyeing his hair. Was he disguising himself?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, I suppose it's possible,
0:05:19 > 0:05:20but what do you make of the knuckles?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22A fight?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Rigor mortis in the major and minor muscle groups.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Liver mortis is fixed.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It fits with him dying yesterday.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I concur. - I'm glad.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You're not going to use that, are you?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, unfortunately, the body didn't come with a zipper.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46We have disposable scalpels now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48The American Journal of Pathology
0:05:48 > 0:05:50recommends their use over conventional blades.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Is that right? - It pays to keep up.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'll keep that in mind.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Perhaps you'd like to step out and get yourself some fresh air?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I'm fine.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04But I wouldn't mind a cigarette...Doctor.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11DOOR CLOSES
0:06:11 > 0:06:14American Journal of Pathology.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16How about that?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- It was such a shock. - It was.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26And to see all those ants...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh...I'm sorry.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You're fine, ma'am.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You mentioned you saw him yesterday?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Yes, I was going to the pictures. - What time was that?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Right on 3 o'clock. I was running late for a matinee.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Uh-huh. And on the way back?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46No, I went home through the town.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50And when you saw him this morning,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53the man was in exactly the same position.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- Yes. - Is that right?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56That's how I knew something was wrong.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58He must have been dead the whole time.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02And what about you, Miss Harris? Were you in the gardens on Sunday?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I spent Sunday visiting a sick aunt.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05She's had diphtheria.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Was there anything else you can tell me?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- No, I don't think... - Actually, yes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- This morning, in the bushes. - I forgot, yes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We were followed by a man. - Did you see him?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20He stayed in the bushes and when we were near the body, he ran away.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21We only saw him from behind.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Uh...short dark hair, a bit taller than me?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Mm, that's right. You know him?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Third report this week.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Did you actually see him with the body?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- He was close by when we saw him, wasn't he?- He was.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Right. I'll let the superintendent know.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The man we found...who was he?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42We're still working that out.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Time to open up your stomach, eh?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52And what's say we try one of these newfangled scalpels?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59HISSING
0:07:59 > 0:08:01HE COUGHS AND GAGS
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So you're ruling out a heart attack?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Cause of death was a catastrophic failure of multiple body systems.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Death would have been very rapid and very painful. He was poisoned.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I've sent tissue samples to the lab for toxicology.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Funny thing, the stomach gases had a very particular odour.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I can't quite put my finger on it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33But I inhaled a hell of a lungful when I cut the stomach open.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34What were the contents?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Well, I took some samples to do my own tests.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41His last meal, interestingly enough, was a pasty.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was only partly digested.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So, are we talking accidental here, or...?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Oh, I doubt it. The poison was very toxic and very fast acting.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Suicide? - Possibly.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And there was bruising on his knuckles.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Looks as if he'd been in a fight the day before he died.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Where's Charlie?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Oh, he's following up on witness statements.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09How'd you get on with the new pathologist?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11You knew about her?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I hear she takes some getting used to.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, unidentified victim, unidentified poison.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- What else have you got? - A terrible headache.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Join the club.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Good day, was it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I have a raging headache.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Well, that should help it. - I am a doctor, Jean.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Well, in that case, you can prescribe me a sherry after dinner.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Done.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Wonderful.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Amaretto. That'll do for now.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- What happened? - He was poisoned.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Poisoned? - Mm.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- With what? - We don't know yet.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You won't catch me walking around there.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Not with that man creeping about.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Jean. - Well, Mattie, he is a menace.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- We don't know that. - Oh, yes, we do.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29He followed Lucy Cantrell home.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Is everything all right?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Cyanide. - What?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38"Bitter almonds run and hide, that's the smell of cyanide."
0:10:38 > 0:10:40They taught us that in basic training.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45They thought, at some point, we might be exposed to gas attack.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48"Smell the scent of new mown hay,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49"phosgene gas is on the way."
0:10:49 > 0:10:51There were dozens of them.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Do you think the body in the park was gassed?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55It's possible.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And today - forgive the gruesome details -
0:10:58 > 0:11:01but today I opened up his stomach and copped a lungful of his stomach gas...
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Oh... - ..and - I'm sorry -
0:11:03 > 0:11:06it gave me the most horrendous headache.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10And I couldn't identify the smell until just now.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Amaretto. Almonds. Cyanide.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Excuse me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35How's the headache?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Oh, it'll get there. - I brought you some Bex.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Oh, thank you, Jean. - What's in there?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Well, I took a sample of his stomach contents
0:11:43 > 0:11:48and I'm going to mix it with ferrous sulphide and acid.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Now, if the cyanide was present in the food,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55this should change colour.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00But, unfortunately, it's not changing.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So you still don't know how he was poisoned.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05No, I'm afraid I don't.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And it's rather sad, really.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16You know, his clothes were soaked with dew by the time we got to him.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Oh - he was there all night? - Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Who was he?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I don't know that, either.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Well, when you do find out who he was,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32make sure someone tells his family.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Good night, Lucien.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Good night, Jean.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Apparently he caught the train from Bendigo,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50but there's no record of him there.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54He's not on the missing persons register in Melbourne.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'll release his photo to the paper, see if we can't get anything.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01What are we looking at?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, cyanide isn't that difficult to get hold of.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's used in mining, cleaning jewellery,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09used in some pesticides.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12The thing is, we still don't know how it was administered.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Cigarettes? - No. Checked them. Nothing.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21What?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25We tracked it down. The key belongs to a locker at the train station.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Go and check it out.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Well, hang on.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We still don't know what form the poison came in.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32We don't know what's in that locker.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'm just saying, it'd pay to be careful.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Take Simons with you - and you might want to use a mask.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Actually, do you think the doctor could accompany me instead?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Certainly. Um...yes, Charlie, of course.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Great. Meet you out the front? - Yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Looks like you're growing on him.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- OVER PA SYSTEM:- Passengers, please note all services
0:13:59 > 0:14:01have been temporarily cancelled.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Area's clear. - Good.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So what are we expecting to find?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Don't know.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14But you think it could be booby trapped?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's possible.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Seems our man's been trying hard to keep his identity hidden.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The boss said you're just back from China.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27That's right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Wow. What was it like?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Fascinating.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34In what way?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Why the interest, Charlie?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- "Biggles in the Gobi Desert". - Ah.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Used to read it to my younger brothers.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Made it sound amazing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43They like it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Not half as much as I did.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well, perhaps I'll tell you about it sometime.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Now, these intimidating-looking things.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Straps go around the back of the head.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Believe me, I've had some practice.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Ah...end's been sharpened.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Yes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Yes, he was expecting trouble at some point, wasn't he?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Shirts.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Dressing gown, shoes, socks.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03All the labels removed.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06What's that, Charlie?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Poetry?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Ah - The Return Of Perse-phone.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Persephon-E. It's a new one on me, too.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Hey, doc.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21"Porters Rooming House."
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Thank you, Charlie.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- With you in a tick. - Ah, thank you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34You know, Charlie, China was terrifying in fact.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I was in Shanghai, but there were stories going around.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Stories about what was happening in the countryside.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Didn't quite make it to the Gobi Desert, I'm afraid.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47So, what were you doing there?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Oh, family matters.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I also managed to catch up with a couple of contacts,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53you know, have a chat. People I knew.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Anyone interesting?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh, yes. China's at a real crossroads...
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Can I help you?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Um, Senior Constable Davis from Ballarat Police.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- This is Doctor Blake. - How do you do?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Do you, uh, recognise this bloke?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14It's all right. We just want to find out what we can about him.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16For his family.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Big bloke. Brown hair. Bit of an accent.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22He stayed here two nights ago.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Had a fight with another boarder.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27About what?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Oh, who knows? The other bloke was a bit of a reffo.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Did he leave a name, an address?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- "John Smith." - Funny name for a foreigner.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And no forwarding address?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49That bloke your man had a punch-up with,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51he's working out at Chandler's orchard.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Name's Carmello Benetti.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yeah, well, thanks for scaring off half my workforce.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well, what do you reckon I come back and we do a sweep of everyone's IDs?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23So what's Benetti gone and done this time, then, eh?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Oh, routine enquiries. Is this one of your blokes?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Nah.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31No, he's too white for this job.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Don't keep it very long, all right?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38He's a good worker - unlike the rest of them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Is there anything else we should know?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yeah - you speak wog?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Benetti.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51CHARLIE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Please. Please. No English.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Mr Benetti, I'm arresting you on charges of assaulting police
0:19:03 > 0:19:04and resisting arrest.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07You don't have to say anything but anything you do say may be...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Save your breath. He doesn't understand.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Charlie, don't touch your face or put your hands near your mouth.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16He's thrown pesticide at you. What's the pesticide?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- It's for the possums. - What's the active ingredient?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Cyanide.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26What the bloody hell do you think you were doing?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Sorry.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Is this where you're staying?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Si. - You know this man?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Si.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43You know his name?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Thank you, Mr Benetti.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Two nights ago, did you and this man have a fight?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Si.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And he did this to your eye?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Very strong. Very rude.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Mr Benetti, why fight?
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Libro.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You fought over a book?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Si. I teach myself English.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I pick up his book.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24He is angry. We argue.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27We fight.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Sunday afternoon, where were you?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Giardini.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Botanic Gardens.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Si.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Did you kill this man?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44This man, dead from poison. Did you do it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48(No, no...)
0:20:49 > 0:20:52He kills the man over a book of poetry.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Prior to confrontation, he has access to cyanide
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and he was in the gardens on Sunday.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Poetry.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01You know, there was a poem in the man's suitcase
0:21:01 > 0:21:04from the station, torn out of a book.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Um, excuse me.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Yes, here we are. Look. "The Return Of Persephone."
0:21:13 > 0:21:15"Gliding through the still air, he made no sound,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17"Wingshod and deft, dropped almost..."
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Ahem...
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Yes. Benetti must have force-fed him the damned pesticide.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26How is that possible?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Well, he is an aggressive bugger.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Lawson, imagine.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Imagine if I tried to force this poem down your throat?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34- I wouldn't. - Well, you...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Now, you see? That's what I'm talking about.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39In plain sight, on a Sunday afternoon,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Benetti tries to force our man to swallow poison
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and no-one sees anything? Look.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Hey! - Exactly.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Ahem.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Sorry to interrupt. Um, this is Mrs Lundqvist.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yes?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Excuse me, but I saw this.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07This is my husband.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33That's him. His hair's darker, though.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Full name?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Sven. Sven Lundqvist.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Nationality?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Swedish, originally.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Now, Mrs Lundqvist... You might need to explain yourself.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Three years we were married, and one day he just disappears.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Gone.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58How long ago was this?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A year ago.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02All that time I never knew.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I thought something horrible must have happened to him.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Why something horrible?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09A husband doesn't just disappear for no reason.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I imagined all these awful things.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16But he was here, all the time.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1850 miles away.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Probably took up with some other woman.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2250 miles?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I live in Castlemaine.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28And I'm still his wife, so anything he left behind, it's mine.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- God knows he left me with nothing. - What brought you to Ballarat?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Visiting my brother.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36And what line of work is he in?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37He's a jeweller.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43And did you drive down from Castlemaine?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46No, I caught the train. Why?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51We might continue this down at the station, if you don't mind.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Is that necessary?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Yes, it is.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01He abandons her.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04She hears nothing for a year and then quite by chance,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06happens to see him on the same train.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Is this where you tell me poisoning's usually a woman's crime?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Isn't it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Jealousy's a much stronger motive
0:24:12 > 0:24:14than an argument over a book of poetry.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16And so is gaining financially from death.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20We've been thinking the poison was forced on him.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22What if it was something he took without realising?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Something she offered him?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I thought you said it wasn't in his food?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It wasn't. I'm just trying to work things out.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31What if it was in liquid form, perhaps?
0:24:31 > 0:24:32- Sir? - Well...
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I've been talking to witnesses from the gardens.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38A couple of them remembered seeing our man,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and he wasn't alone.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Did they say who he was with?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It was a woman, with blonde hair.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And apparently, they were kissing.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Bring them in. Let's see if they recognise her.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Just head through this door.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I'll definitely speak to your parents about that.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Just step this way.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24None of them recognised her.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25No-one?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27They all said that the woman was blonde,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29but none of them saw her face.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31How long can we keep her here?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Couple more hours, then we'll have to release her.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37What do you have in mind?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Not really in the mood for this, Lucien.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Thank you anyway, Jean.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Now...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49This is where that poor man was found.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Yes.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Um...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Would you mind turning round to face me?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Mm.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Yes. And, um...come a little closer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Thank you. Now what can you see?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Well, you, obviously.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15No, I mean, behind me.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Trees and some bushes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28Apparently, she had her arms around him, around his neck.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Hm.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Yes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Now, still not entirely sure how this is supposed to work.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Oh? What part, exactly?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Cyanide is fast acting
0:26:42 > 0:26:47and there'd be convulsions and involuntary moans.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Apparently no-one noticed a damn thing.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Maybe that's why she had her arms around him.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56So no-one could see what was happening.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Yes, perhaps.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01(Lucien, there's someone in the bushes.)
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What? Really?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Right.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Hello?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Don't be alarmed, I just want to talk with you.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Oh!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Jean, are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Let's go home.- Um...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Just bear with me. - Oh!
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Lucien.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Yes, of course.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Have you any idea what's going on?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Allow me. - What's all that about?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well, I'm...not entirely sure. Give that one to me.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57It's heavy.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Yes, the more I find out, the less I seem to know.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You'll work it out. Do you think he saw what happened?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Bloody hell. Come on.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Charlie, where did you find him?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Same place.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14He must have gone back after you and Mrs Beazley left.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's all right. We just want to speak with you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Save your breath, doc. - Interview room.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Calm down.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29His hiding place in that park is a little way behind the tree.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32If he was there Sunday, he might have seen the woman's face.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I don't like our chances of getting any sense out of that one.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I have an idea.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Davis, Miss O'Brien will sit in on the interview.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It's all right, Charlie.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03She's done quite a lot of work with the impaired.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05He's impaired, all right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Just see what you can find out.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Hello. I'm Mattie O'Brien.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Hey, settle down, all right?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34It's all right, Davis.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39You're Aaron, aren't you?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Can you take those handcuffs off him, please?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Why on earth would I do that?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Because I think it'll help him calm down.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Please?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58All right.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Hey, I'm going to take the cuffs off you, all right?
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Do not move from that seat, do you hear me?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- AARON GRUNTS - Oh!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Is that better?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41You like the gardens, don't you?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45You like the trees?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47What do you do there?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Two days ago, did you see a man and a woman under a tree?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01A man and a woman.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04From your special place. Did you see them?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07And what were they doing?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Did he see her face? - We're not sure.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21We think he did, but it might not have registered with him.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Well, what did register with him?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26He noticed she had a full figure.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28He told you that?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Not in so many words.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Oh, tell me this hasn't come down to the size of a suspect's...
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Excuse me, how much longer am I expected to sit here?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Not much longer, ma'am. We're just...
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Do you mind?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I'll let the superintendent know. Sorry.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Just stand there.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00So was that her?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I've got no idea.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Um...was that the woman in the park?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Mate, just focus... - Charlie!
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Was that her?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Ah, she was curvier than that?
0:32:30 > 0:32:31OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Mrs Lundqvist.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42I came forward because I thought I was doing the right thing.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45I've been insulted and made to wait.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46I've been stared at.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49You have no idea what it's like, no idea.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I am so sorry.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55All this time, not knowing what had happened to him,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58only to find out he'd simply walked away.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00You have every right to be angry.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03I thought he loved me.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Please.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17They think I poisoned him.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25And I hate to ask, but...did you?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28No, of course not.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Can you think of a reason why anyone would want to?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33No.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Then tell me about him.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40He had a way of listening to you when he talked.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43He actually listened, not like Australian men.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- He was always very popular with the women.- Was he?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52It wasn't that he was terribly good-looking, even.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56It was just that he listened to you? Yeah.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01What else can you tell me?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03He loved music.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08At night, he'd put on his records, and we'd talk.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09What about?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12The future, mostly.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14He never liked to talk about the past.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Tell me...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Do you think Lundqvist was in fact his real name?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Of course, it's his real name.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31It's my name now. Why would you ask that?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Well, no reason, really.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I'm dreadfully sorry. Forgive me for asking.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41At least now I know what happened to him.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Excuse me. - Hmm?
0:34:57 > 0:35:01I'm looking for a poem. I'm not entirely sure who wrote it.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- What's the poem? - "The Return Of Persephone".
0:35:04 > 0:35:06AD Hope. Wonderful writer.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09You're the second person that's asked for him this week.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Just over here.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Oh!
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Must be out on loan. I don't remember checking it out.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Who else was asking after it?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22A Dutch fellow.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Frankly, I was surprised he knew anything about Australian poetry.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Quite. - Mm. Mm.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28How did you know he was Dutch?
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Oh, he told me. It's a wonderful poem, isn't it?
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Quite sad, but rather physical, if you get my meaning.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Yes, yes, of course.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Sir?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Would you like me to reserve the book for you?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48When the gentleman returns it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51That's quite all right. But thank you anyway.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Can I help you?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Yes, Doctor Lucien Blake. Police surgeon.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Miss Patrick, is it? - Yes.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- He's with the police, Else. - Thanks, Martha.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Yes?- Hello.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Just a few extra questions, if I may, Miss Patrick.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Did you enjoy the movie you saw on Sunday?
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Um, goodness, what was it? Bridge On the River Kwai.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- No - Indiscreet. - Ah, Indiscreet, yeah.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35The body you discovered. That poor, poor chap.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37He was Dutch, wasn't he?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We don't seem to have it on our records,
0:36:39 > 0:36:40but you spoke with him, didn't you?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43No, I...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45What are you implying?
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Is everything all right?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I'd like you to leave.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Of course.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55You don't happen to have a book of poetry by AD Hope?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Please, leave. Now.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Thank you both for your time.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Good evening. - Good evening.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I was here earlier about...
0:37:14 > 0:37:16You're with the police. What do you want?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20The gentleman we were asking after.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Did he happen to leave anything in his room?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24No.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Mind if I take a look? - There's another bloke in there now.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29But I cleaned the room before he went in.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- There was nothing there.- Right.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Did he have any visitors?- No.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Any female callers?
0:37:35 > 0:37:39No. He was a very nice man, very decent.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Now, if you don't mind... - Yes, he was.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44He was a very decent man.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50You see, the thing is, he died the day after he stayed here
0:37:50 > 0:37:51and that's why I'm here.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53And I'm looking for a book of poetry.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58He gave it to you, didn't he?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01He said he didn't need it anymore.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04May I see it, please?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11What do you need it for?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I'm really not sure.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Do you mind if I...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25..if I hang on to it for a bit?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I promise I'll get it back to you.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I'm so sorry he died.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34He was...different.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Yes, he was.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Thank you.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42LAWSON: What kind of code?
0:38:44 > 0:38:49Well, I'm guessing it's some type of one-time pad encryption algorithm.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51In English?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, it uses a series of letters and numbers.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56The letters correspond to the numbers,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00and there's a key, a certain page the algorithm refers to.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Now, you combine the two, you have a simple code.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Almost unbreakable, unless you've got the right key.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09How the hell do you know all this?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Well, I may have come across something similar after the war,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17but my point is this.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I think our man in the morgue
0:39:20 > 0:39:23was involved in some kind of intelligence work.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Hmm.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27And you don't seem at all surprised.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Well, we've been getting some phone calls.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32People recognised his photo in the paper.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35A woman in Stawell had an affair with him five years ago.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39According to her, he was a Norwegian by the name of Tor Olsen.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Walked out on her as well.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45An affair in Shepparton, and he was Dutch.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Niels van der Berg.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Ran all this past Immigration.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52The names belong to children of deceased immigrants.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Bloody hell.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Somehow, he got hold of the records.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59So, he cuts all the labels off his clothing.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01He dyed his hair.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Throw this code business into the mix...
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- You think you can crack this? - I can try.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Well, we've got a day. We've got to get that body out of the morgue.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12We don't even have a name for him.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14We better get a move on, then.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21I've, uh...been fielding calls about you as well.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Who from?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Federal police. The army.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Wanting to know about your recent travels.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Charlie's showing interest, too.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36What exactly did you do after the war, Blake?
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Well...I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43This is no joke.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Do you really think there are spies in Ballarat?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Oh, not spies as such.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Just people who work for other governments.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00They're everywhere.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Is that what you used to do?
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Yes.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10For a time, it was.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Maybe this man was a Soviet.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Well, perhaps.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24You know, there's a story going around about Soviet agents,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27how they'd carry cyanide pills with them
0:42:27 > 0:42:29in case they were captured.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32So maybe this man ended his own life.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Oh, mind you, it was so very public.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And there was that woman friend.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46One thing I do know, Lawson needs him out of the morgue
0:42:46 > 0:42:48so we're going to have to bury him soon.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Did you find out his name? - We thought we had.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56We never had a funeral for Christopher.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Oh, Jean, I didn't know.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Well...he died along with the rest of his section, but...
0:43:07 > 0:43:10..it was six months before they told me.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13He was long buried.

0:47:33 > 0:47:38All right. Mattie, that's a very expensive coat he's wearing.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41He didn't have that the last time I saw him.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44That's a lovely coat you're wearing. Where did you get it from?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Yes, I thought as much.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Mattie, do you think you could check to see
0:47:54 > 0:47:57if there's a label at the back of the coat?

0:48:04 > 0:48:06The label's been cut off and...

0:48:10 > 0:48:12It's a woman's, by the length of it.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21Not a woman's, as such.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23In fact, it's not even human.

0:49:29 > 0:49:33Member of the Australian Communist Party since 1943.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37The Soviets were our allies and it's not illegal.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Sacked from a government job
0:49:39 > 0:49:41under suspicion of having a relationship
0:49:41 > 0:49:44with an attache at the Soviet Embassy,
0:49:44 > 0:49:47who subsequently went missing.
0:49:48 > 0:49:49Is that why you moved to Ballarat?
0:49:49 > 0:49:54No. I have a sick aunt who lives here.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Suffering from...diphtheria.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Does she know you were wearing her wig in the park?
0:50:02 > 0:50:03May I smoke?

0:50:13 > 0:50:16He died in Wendouree in 1912 at the age of three.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20Niels van der Berg died at Castlemaine in 1897
0:50:20 > 0:50:23at the age of...six months.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Tor Olsen...
0:50:25 > 0:50:27I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Do you like poetry, Miss Harris?
0:50:34 > 0:50:39"Foreknowing all bounds of passion, of power, of art,
0:50:39 > 0:50:42"mastered but could not mask his deep despair.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47"Even as she turned with Hermes to depart,
0:50:47 > 0:50:51"looking her last on her grim ravisher,
0:50:51 > 0:50:56"for the first time, she loved him from her heart."
0:50:58 > 0:51:02Was that what it was like for you?
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Holding him while he died?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Whoever this attache was, you loved him.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12You'd given up everything for him. Everything.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17And he couldn't even remain faithful.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21What about his marriage?
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Was that the last straw?
0:51:25 > 0:51:30You should charge me, if you have anything, or let me go.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33But there's no reason to go on talking like this.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37You're right.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Anyway, this is no longer in our jurisdiction.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43There are agents on their way to talk to you, Miss Harris.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Unless you have anything else to say, this interview is over.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51Miss Harris?
0:51:52 > 0:51:54No.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55I have nothing more to say.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59Cyanide. Sugar-coated to disguise it.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05You did love him. Passionately.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09But unlike you, he was trained to walk away.
0:52:12 > 0:52:13I gave up everything for him.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20I found him new places to live, new identities.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24But every time, he found another lover.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29And the message you wrote in that book,
0:52:29 > 0:52:32you were arranging to meet, weren't you?
0:52:32 > 0:52:33I'd had enough.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38He was a traitor.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40To his country?
0:52:45 > 0:52:46To me.
0:53:23 > 0:53:28Charlie, there's terrible famine in parts of China right now.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32Insurgencies in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37And yet that woman murdered her lover
0:53:37 > 0:53:38because he was unfaithful.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43It's a complicated old world.
0:53:53 > 0:53:54Jean?
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Jean, do you know where I put my...?
0:54:00 > 0:54:01Thank you.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08- Presentable? - Yes, you are now.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Have you worked out what you're going to say?
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Well, it's a pauper's funeral, just Lawson and I.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17And the good people from the funeral home, of course.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19What about the wife?
0:54:19 > 0:54:21No, she couldn't face it.
0:54:23 > 0:54:28I'm going to say that even though we don't know this man's name,
0:54:28 > 0:54:31even though he was born and fought under another flag,
0:54:31 > 0:54:34he's resting with us now,
0:54:34 > 0:54:36and we will look after him as one of our own.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Is it all right if I come with you?
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Yes, of course.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47Right.
