0:00:14 > 0:00:16Give us a lift, mate.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Cheers, mate.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Yaa!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28HORSE CRIES OUT
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Yes?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Good morning.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43And to you.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Come. Come in.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I'm afraid I've caused you a lot of trouble.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No. Of course you haven't.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You're cold. Here.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Let's pop this on.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Here we are.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Please, sit down.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21It seemed like, um...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25..you were close to collapse last night. Are you...?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Feeling much better. Thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You don't need to be formal with me.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm out of practice.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I think we both are.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I searched for you, you know.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I knew you would.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I searched. And searched.
0:04:01 > 0:04:0317 years I...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08All my contacts, right throughout Asia.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I thought...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I thought I'd lost you both.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, good Lord, of course you...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Our Lee, she survived.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26She's alive.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- What?!- Yes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Our beautiful daughter, I saw her just last year in China.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- She can't be.- Yes, she is!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44she's a mother now.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Really?!- Yes!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Yes!- Lee?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yes, I promise you!
0:04:52 > 0:04:53SHE SOBS
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Come. I know.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I know.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03WHISPERS: I know.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- JEAN: Lucien?- Not now, Jean.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The Chief Superintendent is here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Please excuse me.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- Frank.- Lucien.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Haven't caught you at a bad time, I hope?- Well, somewhat.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Oh, apologies, but can't be helped.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28You're required down at the racetrack.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Apparently a rider's taken a fall and...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Do you really need me there? - Please...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34don't stay on my account.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Chief Superintendent Frank Carlyle...
0:05:41 > 0:05:44..this is Mai Lin, my wife.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Very pleased to meet you, Mai Lin.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54I'll get my things.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Straightforward fall.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Jockey died instantly.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Alexander Martin. - Doesn't ring a bell.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Won the Ballarat Cup yesterday.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Horse is in a bad way, from what I hear.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Really? Well, perhaps you should call a vet.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Perhaps I should.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Straightforward, you say?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Well, why do you want me there? - Oh, just to keep an eye on things.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26So, your wife?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yes, Frank. It's...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32It's a very long story.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Yes, I expect it is.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07RIFLE SHOT
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Lucky Frank Carlyle.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Terrible business. - That it is, Terrence.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Never get used to it. - Ada's devastated.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Favourite rider, favourite horse. After yesterday's trial...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hmm.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Well, I'll...see you later, Terrence.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46That you will, Frank.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07QUIET DISCUSSION
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Who else was out on the track with you?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Just me. And Robyn was in the stables.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Miss Heywood?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Bradley Tennant. I manage the track.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Lucien Blake, our police surgeon. - How do you do?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'm guessing a fractured spine, Doctor?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Well...a little too early to say. - Hmm.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Robyn Dawson, Shane Heywood.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Did you see him fall?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Nah. I just heard the horse screamin'.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I got there, then Robyn come running up.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46He was dead when we got to him.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Right. All right, well, thank you very much.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Off you go.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Ah, shame about Alex.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Least he got to win his last race. Small mercies.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Had many falls here lately, Mr Tennant?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ballarat's a safe track for a dangerous sport, Doctor.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09We take pride in that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I won't keep you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17HORSE WHINNIES
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- ROBYN SOBS - Gents, please.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'll manage, Terry, it's fine.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You wanted to talk to me.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Just a few questions if you wouldn't mind.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Of course.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Could you tell me what time the accident happened?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I can't be sure. Um... It was just after sunrise, I think.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46That's fine. Any idea what may have caused the fall?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48No.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52He'd only just come back from a bad fall at the Spring Carnival.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- He said he was cleared to ride, Ada.- Yes, I know, but...still.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I just know that not being in the saddle would almost drive him mad.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It does sound like there was no telling him.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06That's right. Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well, thank you, ma'am.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13And may I say...congratulations on yesterday's win.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It was thoroughly deserved.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Oh. Thank you, Chief Superintendent.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That's very kind of you. Thank you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well...good day.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28CLEARS THROAT
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Frank, if I didn't know better...
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Oh, shut up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Were you flirting with her at the end there?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Well, she's a handsome lady.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49You know, the first win I ever had on a nag was on a horse she trained.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Had a soft spot for her ever since.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54And what's she like as a person?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Tough job, training horses. Respect is hard-won.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Especially if you're a woman.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02She's obviously got yours.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Good morning. - Oh, good morning.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Come in.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I've made breakfast. Bacon and eggs, and there's toast.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24probably nothing like you're used to.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26No, it sounds lovely.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Please, sit.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Tea?- Please.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- This is...marmalade? - Mmm-hmm.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's been such a long time.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Oh, forgive my ignorance. I never imagined...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55That a Chinese woman might have a taste for marmalade?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01My father tried to be more British than the British.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03A lot of us did.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Reminds me of...childhood.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Won't you join me?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Oh, I'd better get to work.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Is there anything else you need, Mrs Blake?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Thank you, but no.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Some of the damage to the vertebrae appears to be ante-mortem.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37See?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Signs of healing.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Yes. Apparently, he'd just come back after a nasty fall.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So this morning's fall exacerbates the damage
0:12:48 > 0:12:49and severs the spinal column.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Yes. In fact, his doctors advised him never to ride again.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Then he should have known better.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Contusion to the skull -
0:13:00 > 0:13:02rear left parietal.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- From where the horse rolled on him? - Possibly.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Bruising in a band across the lower ribs.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Ah. Maybe he hit the railing.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Wouldn't that be more generalised? - Well...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Do you know how to cook?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That may well be the strangest thing you've ever asked me, Alice.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20SHE SIGHS
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I was told I should know how to cook. Do you?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Well, I...
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Not really, no.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Oh. That's a shame.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32You might be right about that railing.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Ready?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39SQUELCHING THUD
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Lungs, good condition.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Not a smoker, by the looks. Rare, for a jockey.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Who said you should know how to cook?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- A registrar.- Why?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I was...entertaining and I burnt some meat.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Do you think Mrs Beazley might teach me?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Ah, if I could call her... - You will not call.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You'll come over for dinner, yes?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Good.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Alice, this is interesting. Have a look.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Partial rupture of the liver
0:14:15 > 0:14:18but there's a significant amount of blood in the cavity.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Which means it happened quite some time prior to death.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24He must have been in tremendous pain.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29We should certainly make a note of that, I think, Alice.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Agnes?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The young fool on the desk told me to wait here.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Um, thank you, Dr Harvey.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Now...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Everything all right?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53No, Lucien. It isn't.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01Y-You remember me talking to you... at hideous length, I'm sure...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04..about Lex?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Yes, your nephew.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11He died this morning.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15HE SIGHS Lex.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Alex. Alex Martin. Goodness me.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- I'm s... - Oh, do stop fussing. I'm fine.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Foolishly, I didn't make the connection.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Well, why would you?
0:15:30 > 0:15:35I wanted to inform you that I will take care of all funeral expenses.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- I'll pass it on.- Do that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Agnes, forgive me for asking, but...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44..did Alex ever talk to you about
0:15:44 > 0:15:47anything questionable going on at the track?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, it's horse racing. Everyone's questionable.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57He sustained an injury in the hours before he died.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The sort of thing typically associated with fist fighting.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06The police told me he fell.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08On a training run. Is that true?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Well...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14What experienced rider falls on a training run?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Very good. Keep going, keep going. Come on.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Keep going, that's it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Good girl.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Good girl.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Come on.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Whoa.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Whoa, stop, stop, stop.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49SHE SIGHS
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Come on. Come on, girl.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Good girl. That's it. Good girl.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Yaa!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19HORSE CRIES OUT
0:18:29 > 0:18:33So, what you're saying is someone strings up a cable across the track?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Yes.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Must have been reasonably thick. A thinner wire would've...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Well, would've caused some kind of laceration.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45So Martin rides apace and doesn't see the cable...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Brings him down.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50His vertebrae are already weakened.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53And the fall severs his spine.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55So, where's this cable?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Tyre tracks, Frank.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Recent, too.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07There you are - about 7'2".
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- And what was the injury to the horse?- Just a broken leg, I hear.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Right. The horse obviously went under the wire...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21..and Alex took the impact on his chest.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Frank, did you know something was going on?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Is that why you dragged me down here this morning?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I already told you all this. - Won't take long, Mr Tennant.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Just double-checking a few facts, all right?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43So, who was on the track this morning, sir?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Myself. Ada had both the horses out.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Shane Heywood and Alex Martin riding.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52What about Robyn Dawson?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54She was cleaning out the stables.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You saw no-one else?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I told you, no! Now, I've got work to do.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Trouble is, Mr Tennant...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04..Alex Martin's fall this morning wasn't an accident.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's now a murder investigation, so probably best you sit back down.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Hello, Robyn.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Beautiful animals, aren't they?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Goodness me, it must've been...
0:20:28 > 0:20:32terrible for you to see that horse put down today.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33What was its name again?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Blue Monday. - Blue Monday, that's right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Poor thing.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Robyn, what... what happened this morning?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I saw Mr Tennant and he was talking to Shane.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52The jockey who...who found Alex?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And then Shane goes out onto the track and he chases Alex.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Why did he chase him? - Alex won the race yesterday.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02That's right. Shane came in second.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04He hates losing.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Did they fight yesterday after the race?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Why are you asking all these question?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Because someone strung a cable across the track.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It caused Alex to fall - that's what killed him.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24And that's why Blue Monday died?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Look, there were two riders on the track, one of them fell.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40How would I know what happened?! It was on the far turn!
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I think you've forgotten your manners, Bradley.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Now, it's a simple question.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Did he have any enemies on the track?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Perhaps you should talk to Shane Heywood.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Mr Heywood, how are you?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12When you punched Alex Martin after the race yesterday,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14you ruptured his liver.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Were you trying to kill him?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Hmm?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Is that what you were trying to do?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24HORSE NEIGHS
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Couldn't bloody wait, could you?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34HE CRIES OUT
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's all right, it's all right. He's alive.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Apparently, he was pursuing Alex Martin around the track
0:22:54 > 0:22:55prior to the race.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Want me to take a statement from Mrs McCrae?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Nah, I'll go and do that, Bill.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Why don't you go and talk to that young stablehand?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So, how'd they get on, Martin and Heywood?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15SHE SIGHS
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Fierce rivals.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19But friendly, off the track.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21That's not what we heard.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, who have you been talking to?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Was it Robyn?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31You know she's not the most sociable girl.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34She cares more for horses than she does for people.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Really?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Alex is too hard with the whip and Shane is too heavy with his boots.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Then why does Mr Tennant keep employing her?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well...her dad was a gifted jockey.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49He died in a fall on the same stretch that took Alex.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53You didn't know that?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So, you saw nothing suspicious after the accident?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Do you see this graze?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Not really, Miss Dawson.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Did you see any vehicles beside the track?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05You can feel it, the fetlock's inflamed.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Would you mind just answering the question?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Don't do that!
0:24:09 > 0:24:11This horse was injured while you were chasing Shane
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and you're asking me about a car?!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I really wouldn't do that if I were you, Miss Dawson.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Take this.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- SHE SIGHS - No, I didn't see anything.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Smile! - CAMERA CLICKS
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The whole farm hand thing suits you, Sergeant.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I understand that the enquiry into Alex Martin's death
0:24:34 > 0:24:37is being treated as suspicious. Care to comment?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Not today, Miss Anderson.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- How'd you get on with Miss Dawson? - The girl's mad.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50And that journo's hanging round again.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oh, you gotta give her full marks for effort.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Did you search the stables? - Top to bottom, didn't find a thing.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57All right, well, you head back to the station.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59The doctor and I have a personal call to make.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Are you coming?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Shorty?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Cunningham.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Lucky Carlyle.- Terry.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Ah, Lucien Blake. Terry Noonan.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Mr Noonan. - Gets an introduction this time.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Indeed.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42This is a pleasure.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, we're here to talk about Alexander Martin.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Had a favourite in yesterday's Cup.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52A great little horse. You won some money, I believe...?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Has Bradley Tennant been on the phone to you?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, then, you know why we're here.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02What can you tell us?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Afternoon, Dutchy.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11It's all right. We're all friends here, aren't we, Frank?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Word is that Alex may have had some enemies.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22All right. Shane Heywood.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27No really bad blood, but Heywood likes to win.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Enough to harm him?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Who else? Bradley Tennant?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Bradley likes the sound of his own voice.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Do you...talk, Lucien?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Too much, I'm told.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Certainly getting on my nerves.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Robyn Dawson.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56I knew her dad. She might do something in the heat of the moment.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00This helping?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Where were you this morning when Alex Martin fell?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07At the track. And no, I didn't see anything.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Interesting.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Anything else you might know that could help?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16That's as much as I can tell you, Frank.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Blake, would you mind stepping outside for the moment?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It's all right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Not going to bite me.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Are you, Frank?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Very good. Pleasure, Mr Noonan.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Yeah. Lucien.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Top shot. Ha!
0:27:45 > 0:27:49How are you? Um, just a beer, if I may?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Thanks ever so much.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Ah, wonderful.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Thank you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Een bier?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07IN DUTCH ACCENT: Thanks. I'd kill for one.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I saw you at the track this morning.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Were you there when Alex Martin fell?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Not sure. Mr Noonan likes to keep me busy.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25I see.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28How long have you worked for him?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- A while.- Doing what, exactly?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35This and that.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I see you've got some bark missing, you hurt yourself?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Nothing serious. Part of the job.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Sounds dangerous.- Yeah, I'm fine.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I don't imagine jockeys would put up much of a fight,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54given the size difference.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Alex owed the boss some money. I give him a reminder.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04When?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06After the race.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Well...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Interesting chap, Terry Noonan.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23His sizeable Dutch friend in there
0:29:23 > 0:29:26just happens to have bruised knuckles.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- Hmm.- Yes.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33He admitted punching Alex yesterday to remind him about his debts.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36By the way, Terry tell you anything else once I'd left the room?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38No, nothing of any consequence.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40How much are you in for, Frank?
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Well, I did have one win yesterday.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45How much do you owe him?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49A lot.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Frank, the man's an SP bookie with a thug the size of...
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Yes, thank you, Blake, I'm well aware of that.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Then what are you doing? - A man's got to have a vice or two.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Especially since the wife died.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05That why you wanted me along this morning? To keep you honest?
0:30:06 > 0:30:07A man like Noonan,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10the money you owe him's the least of your problems.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yes, thank you, Blake, for the lecture,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14but we do have another stop to make.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Apparently, Alex Martin lived here the last couple of years.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Right. So what are we looking at?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Nothing. That's the point.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30He's packed everything up.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34But he's left this.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Auntie Agnes Clasby.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47He knew his days were numbered and he packed up his life.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Didn't you say the rupture in his liver wasn't fatal, though?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Still, he knew.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I've looked through it, it's all personal stuff.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Ballarat Cup.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01And...I found this.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11That's your handwriting, Terry. Correct?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It was found amongst the possessions of Alexander Martin.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22It appears he's laid a £20 bet on the nose of another horse
0:31:22 > 0:31:25in a race that he himself was riding in.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26The Ballarat Cup.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32So, Alex, riding the favourite, bets against himself.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34With you.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39It's a pretty healthy payday, I would have thought,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42when you're guaranteed the favourite's not going to come in.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I put it to you, Terry, that you offered Alex inducements
0:31:46 > 0:31:48to throw that race.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50But when he ultimately refused,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53you sent a man in your employ - Diederik Bronkhorst -
0:31:53 > 0:31:54around to assault him.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03All right. Terrence Noonan, I'm placing you under arrest
0:32:03 > 0:32:05on suspicion for engaging and facilitating
0:32:05 > 0:32:08in conduct corrupting a betting outcome.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I'd also like to state for the record
0:32:17 > 0:32:20my personal debt with Mr Noonan
0:32:20 > 0:32:23which currently stands at £325.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And which will remain regardless of these charges.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31That's right, Terrence - I'll pay you back in full, as promised.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And if I find out you've killed Alex Martin,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I'll also take you down for murder.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Fair enough?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02What?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Can I lend you some money?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Of course you're a major flight risk -
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I'd need some sort of guarantee you won't up and leave Ballarat -
0:33:14 > 0:33:15but seriously, if it might help...
0:33:17 > 0:33:19That won't be necessary.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21But thank you.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Of course.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26So...
0:33:26 > 0:33:29how long do you plan on keeping Noonan?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Oh, I'll let him stew for a couple of hours
0:33:31 > 0:33:33then I'll let him go.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Boss?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37That was the hospital.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39That jockey you were chasing?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Shane Heywood. Yes, how is he?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Yeah...he died 10 minutes ago,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45from injuries sustained.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Right.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Head out to the track
0:33:48 > 0:33:51and question the two riders involved in his accident.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Yes, sir.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Charlie, I think I'll come with you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Ah - no, you won't.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Have you gone home at all today, Doc?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Charlie, I was wanting to catch up with you and...
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Boss had me on court duty all day, but I stopped home for lunch and...
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Well...how is she?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Is Mrs Beazley all right?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Mrs Beazley and I...
0:34:19 > 0:34:24Quite frankly, Charlie, we don't know what the hell's going on.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Yeah, still... you should be there.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Tell her I'll be home for dinner.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Ah! We were wondering... Where's Charlie?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Charlie. Um...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Charlie's conducting a search. He'll be here later.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Alice.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You said to come over.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Yes. Yes, I did.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Jean's been advising me about cooking.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17She suggested I hire someone rather than try to learn.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20She's a working woman, she doesn't have time to cook!
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Of course.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Who's for another drink?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Couldn't you have come home earlier?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I am so sorry.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You had no warning?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I was told she was dead, you know that.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Where did she come from? How did she get here?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Apparently, she escaped from China.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58She spent a year in a refugee camp in Hong Kong.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- I can't imagine. - Oh, none of us can.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06So many years have passed, Jean, I...
0:36:09 > 0:36:11What do we do?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Lucien?
0:36:19 > 0:36:20It's obvious, isn't it?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Interestingly, there was a sizeable haematoma across the chest.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We couldn't understand it.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Previous injuries meant that the fall was fatal.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11He should never have got back on a horse.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Sorry I'm late.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Dr Harvey.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Ah, Mrs Blake, I'm Charlie Davis.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Charlie lives with us.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Pleased to meet you, Charlie. - Your plate's on the stove.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Wonderful.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34The surprise to us was there were no lacerations.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38The cable was an elegant conclusion, given the variables.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Quite.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- You say this man was murdered?- Yes.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Was he a gambler himself?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50That's a very good question, Mrs Blake.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Probably sounds odd, but we sometimes discuss the doctor's work.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55He says that it helps.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Why did he pack up his house then?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08He was saying goodbye - he knew what was happening.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Ooh, not that it's any of my business.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- I didn't mean... - Was he simply very clean?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- No man's that clean. - Oh, that's a bit harsh!
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Apparently this new TAB thing has scared a lot of the bookies.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Hmm?- Where did you hear this?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30That registrar. Horses and golf, horses and golf.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- It was all he talked about. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Totalisator Board. Um, TAB. It's a...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39a government-run betting agency.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- It's very, very new. - Government?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45They think it's a useful way to raise revenue.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I wouldn't trust the government to do anything.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56The doc said you were living in China, Mrs Blake.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01Yes, I was...put to work in Shenzhen, after the war.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Why was that?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06They called me a foreign hostile.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11But then the food ran out.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Dreadful famine there, Charlie.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Everything fell apart.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21We were starving.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22People...
0:39:24 > 0:39:25..did things.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Eventually, I had to make a choice to stay and die or to run.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35I made it to Wan Chai
0:39:35 > 0:39:39and after some time, I managed to get word to the consulate.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- That sounds awful. - There wasn't much time for gambling.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Excuse me, please.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59And thank you, Mrs Beazley. That was delicious.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Oh, please, leave it to me.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Thank you, Lucien.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18It was an interesting night.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Yes.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23This must be very hard for you.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Goodnight, Alice.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Now, Agnes, we found this in Alex's house.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28The police agreed I should give it to you.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36Oh.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Look at him, standing in the saddle.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43He knew he'd raced well.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47I blame myself.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Oh, don't be so silly, Agnes. - Don't patronise me, Lucien.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54I used to pay him sixpence
0:41:54 > 0:41:56to take my tips down to the local fruiterer.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01The man ran bets out of his shop on the weekend.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- That's where he must have started. - I see, so he gambled a lot.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08He lost a marriage because of it.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13And then he lost his love of racing.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I made this for him.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27When he was little.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I rather suspect he found his love for racing again.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- I warned you, Lucien. - No, no, no...
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Why else would he leave this for you?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And do you know, Ada McCrae said
0:42:36 > 0:42:39he couldn't stand being out of the saddle.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42He came back to racing, even though he knew it could kill him.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Be a dear and...carry this to the car for me, will you?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Just out of interest, Mrs McCrae, how...
0:42:57 > 0:43:00how tall was Blue Monday?
0:43:00 > 0:43:0215.2 hands.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Right. About 5.2 at the withers.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- SHE LAUGHS - Yes.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I've been brushing up on my horses.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12The, um...the Chief Superintendent, he's, um...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16..how shall I say? Somewhat of a fan of yours.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18He's been lovely.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Called me last night to make sure I was all right.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Really?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Well, yeah.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28So, do you think Terry and Shane are involved?
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Did the Superintendent say something?
0:43:31 > 0:43:35No, but Terry's been questioned and Shane tried to run away.
0:43:37 > 0:43:38Yes.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41You're very good with the horses.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43As long as they know you're in charge.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47You can't let them have their own way.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48And what would happen then?
0:43:48 > 0:43:52They'd destroy themselves, and take you down with them.
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Oh.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Excuse me, Doctor, but this girl is driving me mad.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Why is no-one ever happy to see me?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13My first front page for the Courier, a horse race!
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- That's a very good photograph. - Tell that to my boss.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Perhaps he'll do more than let me write court reports and horoscopes.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23HE CHUCKLES
0:44:23 > 0:44:26So in the meantime you'll just loiter around racetracks?
0:44:26 > 0:44:27Amongst other places.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32Did you happen to take any other photographs...
0:44:34 > 0:44:35..after the race, perhaps?
0:44:37 > 0:44:38I'm not falling for it.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41That very charming thing that you do.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Ask lots of questions, listen carefully,
0:44:44 > 0:44:46nod understandingly.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49People talk to you but you tell them nothing.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Doesn't work with me.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Why are you here?
0:44:53 > 0:44:55A man fell from a horse and died.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Which last happened here five years ago when Kev Dawson died.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59That doesn't explain why you're here.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Alex Martin was murdered the morning after the Ballarat Cup.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09You?
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Every other racetrack in Victoria is busily kicking up a stink
0:45:12 > 0:45:14about the TAB coming in.
0:45:14 > 0:45:15But not here.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Someone has a very tight grip on things and no-one's talking.
0:45:19 > 0:45:20Who?
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Oh...
0:45:23 > 0:45:28Alex owed money to an SP bookie chap by the name of Terrence Noonan.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Mr Noonan's hired thug had a go at Alex.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33Big bloke. Dutch.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34I saw him hassling Martin after the race.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36And then the rider that came in second...
0:45:36 > 0:45:40Shane Heywood. Tried to evade police, ran out onto the track,
0:45:40 > 0:45:45was trampled and sadly died in hospital from his injuries.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47I don't have anything on Mr Tennant...
0:45:47 > 0:45:48The track manager.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Served out a year's suspension
0:45:50 > 0:45:52handed out by the Victorian Racing Club
0:45:52 > 0:45:54for being involved in a substitution scam in Camperdown.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01It seems every one of them could be involved in one way or another,
0:46:01 > 0:46:03wouldn't you think?
0:46:04 > 0:46:07We should exchange information again some time.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Alex was in debt to Mr Noonan. - So he bets against himself.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- Noonan agrees to cancel the debt. - Mmm.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22That's not Terry Noonan's style.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Perhaps he thought he had no option.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30What do you reckon, Hopalong? Go on, show him.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Goodness me. HE SNIGGERS
0:46:38 > 0:46:40I tell you what, Bill, I think
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Miss Anderson has captured you perfectly.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Yeah, well, that's one opinion, Frank.
0:46:44 > 0:46:49There's also the question of how much Ada McCrae and Mr Tennant
0:46:49 > 0:46:51knew about the whole thing. PHONE RINGS
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Hi, Ballarat Police...
0:46:53 > 0:46:55I understand you've been speaking with her.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57I thought she could be of assistance.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Frank?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Sorry for calling, Superintendent, but I didn't know what else to do.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Don't kid yourself, Ada, that girl's been trouble for a long time now.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Over there.
0:47:10 > 0:47:11Excuse me.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Hobart already searched this entire place.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Where's Miss Dawson now?
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Oh, well, she saw me in here and she ran off.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- And what about the cable? - That can wait.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Numerous vantage points.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Yes, lots of cover, just not for us.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51- I'm going to check the back gate. - All right.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Do you think she's coming for us? Well, we gotta get out of here!
0:47:59 > 0:48:01No, no, no! We're safe in here.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04She won't fire into the stable when there's a risk to the animals.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05Come on! Come on!
0:48:05 > 0:48:07RIFLE SHOT
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Jesus!
0:48:11 > 0:48:12RIFLE SHOT
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Mr Tennant, let me see that.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Right, I want you to place your hand here,
0:48:21 > 0:48:23press firmly against the wound.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Mrs McCrae, how much ammunition was kept with that rifle?
0:48:25 > 0:48:26Quite a few rounds.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28She's obviously comfortable with firearms.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Now, stay here.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Robyn, it's me.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Robyn, I'm coming out. All right?
0:48:42 > 0:48:43Just me. I'm unarmed.
0:48:45 > 0:48:46You can come out too.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50I promise it'll be all right.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Come on.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01That's it.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Robyn, would you lower the rifle for me, please.
0:49:11 > 0:49:12Thank you.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Now, did you tell anyone
0:49:17 > 0:49:20that someone strung a cable across the track?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Yeah, I told Miss McCrae.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Right.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25So...
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Alex Martin comes back to ride in the Ballarat Cup.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31He's the sentimental favourite.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33But he's supposed to throw the race. Mr Noonan?
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Alex put 20 quid on Shane Heywood.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39I'm guessing Mrs McCrae placed a sizable bet too.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43£150 at long odds. She would have made a killing.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Right.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48You didn't count on how much Alex loved to race.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Especially when he thought he'd never ride again.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53What was it you said?
0:49:53 > 0:49:56"Let them have their own way...
0:49:57 > 0:50:01"..and they'll destroy themselves, and take you down too."
0:50:01 > 0:50:04You couldn't let anyone see that you'd lost control.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06You had to send a message.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08You have...no idea
0:50:08 > 0:50:10what you're talking about, Doctor.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13You don't know anything about this world.
0:50:13 > 0:50:14No, I don't.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17But you do.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21You knew exactly how high to string that wire
0:50:21 > 0:50:23so it caught the jockey, not the horse.
0:50:23 > 0:50:28You knew, once Alex was in the clear, he'd stand up in that saddle.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32You never thought for a moment the horse would fall with its rider.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34And now they're both dead.
0:50:35 > 0:50:40And that...that's why you were crying when we met you.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43You were crying for the horse you killed, not for Alex Martin.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Shane Heywood...
0:50:45 > 0:50:48Oh, he did exactly what you wanted him to do. He chased Alex,
0:50:48 > 0:50:51helped you take the cable down before anyone else got there.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57It was my horse. My track.
0:50:57 > 0:50:58My game.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07You killed that horse.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19- You right?- Yeah.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Don't think this gets you out of that debt of yours.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Ada McCrae, I'm placing you under arrest
0:51:25 > 0:51:27for the murder of Alex Martin.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Miss Dawson, you'll be facing charges of reckless endangerment.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Miss Anderson! This should get you a front page.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43It's all right, Robyn. It's all right.
0:52:08 > 0:52:09HE SIGHS
0:52:30 > 0:52:32You never used to drink alone.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37No.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41No, I didn't.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Where are you going?
0:52:53 > 0:52:55You've always been kind to me.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00But this has been such an intrusion.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02- Mai Lin... - Please let me finish.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12I didn't expect this.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17But I understand. It has been 17 years.
0:53:21 > 0:53:22I found a hotel in town.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24The Soldier's Hill - do you know it?
0:53:26 > 0:53:27Yes.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29They have a room for me.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35Thank Jean for her hospitality, please.
0:53:35 > 0:53:36Mai Lin...
0:53:42 > 0:53:43You are my wife.
0:53:46 > 0:53:47Yes, I am.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Would you drive me, please? My suitcase is heavy.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Of course.
0:54:12 > 0:54:13FRONT DOOR CLOSES
