0:00:03 > 0:00:05Wouldn't want to leave it short.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08No. Thanks for that, Frank.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24And that would be...?

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Terry Reynolds. He's a journalist.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Couldn't wait 30 seconds till we were off the green, mate?

0:00:31 > 0:00:32I called "fore". Didn't I, Freddie?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Besides, no harm done.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Right, Clay?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Helluva shot! What do you think, Freddie?

0:00:41 > 0:00:45- That's a gimme. - If you say so, Mr Reynolds.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Well, pull your head out and go pick it up!

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Not the sharpest tool.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Gentlemen.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06That's it for me, lads. Lots to be done at the clubhouse.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Me too. Work beckons.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Thanks, fellas.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Now, Patrick, um,

0:01:13 > 0:01:18wouldn't care to make the back nine a bit more interesting, would you?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Well, Frank, it's this for a tie or the drinks are on you.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30Don't know about you but I'm feeling pretty thirsty.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Just keep smiling.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Oh... Get up!

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Just pushed it to the right.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Huh! Safe.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Patrick!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- How's that egg? - Lovely, thank you.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10You should try the porridge, Lucien. It's really quite good.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's all right. It's just a little tea.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- You didn't burn yourself? - Please don't tell Mr Finn.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31He said we're to be extra nice to the Doctor's wife.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I won't. What's your name?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Iris.- My favourite flower.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41There - our secret.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44No-one can begrudge a woman her secrets, can they?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Quite.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Doctor?- Yes?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- A message for you from Mrs Beazley. - Thank you.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Frank, what have we got?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Found him about an hour ago. Terry Reynolds. He's a, er...

0:04:21 > 0:04:26Reporter for The Courier. Yes. I met him briefly a while back.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Checked for a pulse but he'd already gone.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32The footsteps you can see here, they're mine.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Right. That area there, that's been raked.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Not by me.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39I see.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Best have a look.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48A blow to the head, obviously.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53And possible fractured skull.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57That ball?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58That's mine.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Any chance that I hit him? - Well, it's not impossible.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Where are his clubs?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Right.

0:05:12 > 0:05:17Well, as always, I'll know more, once I've conducted an autopsy.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Er, Frank? Can we have a word?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Clay.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25That's, er, Clay Richardson, club president.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26He was in our group this morning

0:05:26 > 0:05:28but only played the first nine holes.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Just this way.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38After Mr Reynolds finished his round, you lodged his scorecard at the clubhouse.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Is that correct?- Yes.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44I think it was 10:15, maybe. I'm not 100% sure.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Mm-hm, 10:15. And did you see anyone else?

0:05:47 > 0:05:50We were hoping, for now, you'd be able to keep this quiet.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53We're carrying out a full investigation, Clay.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Um, tell me, do you know Terry well? - Oh, no, not well.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59He hadn't been a member long.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02He seemed a nice enough bloke over a beer or two.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Mr Richardson, if you don't mind,

0:06:04 > 0:06:07when the Chief Superintendent found Terry Reynolds, you were...

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Tending the practice fairways.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I don't understand. From what Patrick said, this was an accident.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Yes. Patrick, your relationship with Terry these days was...

0:06:17 > 0:06:22Strictly professional. He didn't work for me. He worked for my son.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Whenever you're ready, Clay.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27We're supposed to be having that bloody board meeting.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Excuse me, would you?

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Frank, the Ballarat Open is only days away.

0:06:36 > 0:06:42Ah! Yes, and it's your company sponsoring the tournament, Patrick.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45And it has absolutely nothing to do with this.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48I thought you might see quite a juicy story here.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Not my job anymore, Blake.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53No, it's your son's, and Edward seems quite talented

0:06:53 > 0:06:56at poking his nose where it doesn't belong

0:06:56 > 0:06:58if he thinks it might sell more newspapers.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Frank, you'll have my report shortly. Patrick.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Dirt and grass stains to the heel of the hand.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10No other defensive injuries.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Sand around and...

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yes.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19..inside the mouth and airways.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23You can see the pond fracture, the radiating lines here and here.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I'll know more once I've opened the skull.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- You've been busy. Anything else? - I started toxicology.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31There's faint traces of alcohol in the stomach.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32You've done that without me?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Wasn't going to sit on my hands all day waiting for you, was I?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38This bruising here...

0:07:38 > 0:07:42Suggests that he was struck with something with rounded edges,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44possibly spherical.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- We'll let it settle overnight?- Yes.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48The ball.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53No traces of blood, no skin or tissue.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55But you're still thinking murder.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01Thing is, his caddy was the last person to see him alive.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03And?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07And, according to Charlie, they'd long since finished their round

0:08:07 > 0:08:10so what was he doing there,

0:08:10 > 0:08:14still on the course all alone?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Tell me, Freddie, Mr Reynolds, would he usually play on his own?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Most of the time, yeah.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29He could rub his playing partners up the wrong way,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31other members mostly.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Right.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36And do you think... Ah, Charlie, how did you go?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Find anything on the 18th?- Er, no.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Just a MacGregor and a couple of Dunlops -

0:08:40 > 0:08:43some old lost balls.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Those are some pretty flash clubs, Freddie. They yours?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Freddie?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Whose clubs are those?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Freddie, I need you to stop what you're doing now

0:09:02 > 0:09:03and put the clubs down.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Freddie, stop!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15All right. Get up. We'll continue this down at the station. Let's go.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- You right, Charlie?- Yep.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Well, thank you, Mr, er... - Richardson. Alec.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Oh, yes, of course. - What the bloody hell's going on?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yes, they're Terry's clubs.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33The police need those as evidence, Freddie, so why did you take them?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Because he owed me. That's why.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39He didn't pay you, did he?

0:09:40 > 0:09:43He never paid you. Sound about right?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45How do you know?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48I saw how he treated you on the course, Freddie.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51But the clubs weren't enough, were they, Freddie?

0:09:51 > 0:09:53You also took Terry Reynolds' wallet.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56He owed you quite a sum of money

0:09:56 > 0:09:59so you whacked him, took his money after he was dead.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- That's not... That's not true. - Oh, my word, it's true.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05You whacked him with a golf club and got caught red-handed

0:10:05 > 0:10:06cleaning the murder weapon!

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Son, this does not look good for you.

0:10:12 > 0:10:18- Freddie, your arms... - Roll up your sleeves now, son.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's fine. Doesn't hurt.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Terry hit a ball into the drink this morning.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Threw a tantrum, chucked his three wood in the water hazard

0:10:41 > 0:10:45and, normally... normally we stay well out of there.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Because of the leeches.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50But he made you go in.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56He wouldn't let me see to these until he finished his round.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Yes, I found him in the bunker but he'd already carked it.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Nothing I could do.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10So I took his wallet and I raked the sand out behind me on the way out.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12That is all I done.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Nothing else in his pockets, just a bunch of scorecards,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18some spare tees and pencils.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21If you wouldn't mind tending to the boy's arms and testing those clubs.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- I've got calls to make. - Right you are.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Frank...- I'm a tad busy.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Freddie's our most popular caddie. He wouldn't do something like this.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34We've heard reports suggesting

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Freddie and Mr Reynolds hadn't been getting along.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42The odd harsh word maybe but he only ever wanted Freddie to caddy for him

0:11:42 > 0:11:43and Freddie never said no.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, what about other members?

0:11:46 > 0:11:51Well, what happens on the course is supposed to stay on the course.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Reynolds nearly hit Lyall Phillips with a ball this morning

0:12:01 > 0:12:05and they had a real belter of an argument last Thursday.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Thought he was going to knock Terry's block off.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Right.

0:12:09 > 0:12:14And, Clay, um, Lyall Phillips was the other member of your foursome?

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Yes.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Last week? That was nothing.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'd caught Terry using the old leather wedge

0:12:23 > 0:12:25out on the course a few times -

0:12:25 > 0:12:28moving the ball to a better lie with his foot.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29It was nothing serious.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32That's not what we heard, Mr Phillips.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33What's this about, anyway?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Terry Reynolds is dead.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Found on the golf course this morning

0:12:40 > 0:12:43under what may be suspicious circumstances.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46He's... Well, this isn't going to sound good, then.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Reynolds and I had been fighting.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55He was suggesting that I gift him a fairly substantial sum of money.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57And why would you do that, exactly?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Otherwise he was going to write more unfavourable articles

0:13:00 > 0:13:02about the cricket club and about me.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04About you?

0:13:04 > 0:13:05He's the sports editor of The Courier.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08And he's done this before.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Yeah, he said things like I doctored pictures,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12paid opponents to throw games.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15All bloody lies, of course.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Hey, get behind it. Elbow up.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21And that's it, Mr Phillips?

0:13:21 > 0:13:25It's not enough? How would you like it?

0:13:25 > 0:13:30I mean, made to look like a cheat, like a liar

0:13:30 > 0:13:31in front of everybody in Ballarat.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40So you paid him to protect your reputation?

0:13:40 > 0:13:45To protect my family, my wife and my daughter.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50These articles, had you spoken to anyone about them?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Yeah, I spoke to Patrick and then to his son.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Right.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59And what did Edward have to say?

0:13:59 > 0:14:04I told him The Courier can write articles about whomever we wish.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06That is our job, after all. Isn't that right, Alec?

0:14:06 > 0:14:09- And you are? - He's an old friend and my lawyer.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Thought it might be handy having him here, especially dealing with him.

0:14:13 > 0:14:19You don't seem particularly, um, upset about Terry Reynolds.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It wouldn't do me any good to go to water, would it, Doctor?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24What sort of example would I set for my staff?

0:14:24 > 0:14:27I liked the man, for what it's worth.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29He was very astute.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You call blackmailing Lyall Phillips astute?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's quite an allegation, Sergeant.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36I give my staff a fair amount of license to do their job

0:14:36 > 0:14:38and Terry delivered.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43By using his column to, shall we say, coerce money from the public?

0:14:43 > 0:14:46As editor of the newspaper, that must concern you.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50If you can find proof that Terry was doing anything illegal,

0:14:50 > 0:14:52then, yes, it would concern me.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Yes. Of course.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Um, we'd like to look through your archives, if we may,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02just to read some of Mr Reynolds' work.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Then Sergeant Davis can get a warrant.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08That's correct, isn't it, Alec, from a legal perspective?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Now, er, if you don't mind...

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I got your message. - I thought you'd want to see this.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25The official cause of death is actually extradural haemorrhage.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Related to the skull fracture.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31The fracture tears the artery here, just behind the temple.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Yes. So he's struck, falls, blacks out.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Yes.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43And then, after some time... he'd have woken up.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Woken up?- Yes.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Before long, he would've become woozy again.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51The bleed compressed his brain.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53He'd be stumbling and slurring

0:15:53 > 0:15:56until the pain and drowsiness overtook him

0:15:56 > 0:15:58and he fell one last time.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03So what you're saying is that it definitely wasn't my golf ball.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Not your ball, no.- Oh.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10So murder, more than likely.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Blood alcohol?- Negligible.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15One drink, two at the most.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16I tell you what, though,

0:16:16 > 0:16:19the death blow might not have happened at the bunker.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21- So where, then?- Absolutely no idea.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24But he was alive when he went in.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27You know, of course, Reynolds and Tyneman have had bad blood...

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yes. An incident last year. I'm aware.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Patrick was with me all morning. - Yes, but he and his boy, they...

0:16:34 > 0:16:36They might know more than they're letting on.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37I see.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41So that was the reason for your visit to Edward this morning

0:16:41 > 0:16:45and not the lovely photograph of you and your wife on page six?

0:16:45 > 0:16:49We need to go back to The Courier and look at Reynolds' columns,

0:16:49 > 0:16:53see if there was anyone else he may have been blackmailing.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Watch you don't cut yourself.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35"Greco's tidy off-spin tweak has bamboozled the bland batsman."

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Huh! I see what you mean about the quality of the man's writing.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Not a patch on the previous chap they had covering sport.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43- Harvey Treloar.- That's him.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I used to read his columns to your father.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49He said he was the best sports writer he'd read since Percy Taylor.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Is that right?- Mm!

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Oh.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Oh, do you mind, um, setting these?

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Er, yes, yes, of course.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08You know, Jean, Lyall Phillips was telling the truth.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11There were a number of poison pen stories

0:18:11 > 0:18:15written about the cricket club and then, about a month ago,

0:18:15 > 0:18:18they stopped.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23You know I saw the article about you and Mei Lin?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- How is she? Is she all right?- Yes.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30She's, um... she...

0:18:30 > 0:18:32She wanted me to thank you again

0:18:32 > 0:18:36for that lovely picnic basket you made up for her,

0:18:36 > 0:18:40which reminds me, I still have a few tests I need to conduct.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Before you open the fridge, Jean, I should tell you...

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I think you've set one too many places.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Yes, I have. I'm sorry.

0:18:55 > 0:19:01Um, I thought I might invite someone over for dinner.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I hope that was all right.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09If I'd known in advance that you were coming...

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- No, no. That was just fine. - Thank you, Jean.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15So you think Terry was murdered.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Off the record, quite possibly, yes.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21That's what you were up to at the paper.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25And, of course, these things, Charlie,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28well, they're not blank at all, are they?

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Why would they have been erased, do you think?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I have no idea.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Rose, I meant to ask you, though,

0:19:37 > 0:19:42um, what was their reaction in the office to the news of Terry's death?

0:19:42 > 0:19:45I wouldn't say anyone was heartbroken.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47So he had enemies at work, then?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- A long list, starting with the Bear. - Sorry? The Bear?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Harvey Treloar. - Interesting nickname.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55As in "cuddly"?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57No. Grumpy, the moody old bugger, and punchy too.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59"Punchy" how, Miss Anderson?

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well, Sergeant, it's practically legend at the paper

0:20:03 > 0:20:06the number of scraps Harvey got himself into over the years.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Right. Such as?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Like the time this full-back turns up to the paper

0:20:10 > 0:20:12demanding to fight Harvey over...

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- What happened? - Harvey knocked two of his teeth out.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16- With one punch.- Oh!

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Then spent the afternoon drinking and talking footy at the pub.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- What, and he only now gets sacked? - Not even sacked.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Terry demoted him to the printing press.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Why would a man like that be demoted and not fired?

0:20:28 > 0:20:32It's a tough job. 4:00am starts. Harvey would do well to pack it in.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33No offence, Doctor,

0:20:33 > 0:20:37but sometimes the older generation needs to be told when to step aside.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Oh...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I suppose this is about Terry Reynolds.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Killed by a rogue golf ball, Clay said. Is that right?

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Well... Not entirely.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Mr Treloar, I saw you at the club not long after, um...

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Oh, yeah.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's been a while since I played a round or two

0:21:07 > 0:21:10but they're still stuck with me on the board.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Are you qualified to work in here?

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Does it look like I'm qualified?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I just whack things till they start working.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Mr Treloar - Harvey -

0:21:28 > 0:21:31I imagine it must've been difficult for you, at your age,

0:21:31 > 0:21:33to... to start over.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Harvey, you finished working yesterday morning at...?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Half-past nine, as always.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44And turned up at the golf club for your board meeting after midday.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Is there anyone who can vouch for your whereabouts in the meantime?

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Nah.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51It's a pity, though.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54If I'd got there sooner, I might've seen it happen.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55You think this is funny?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05See this?

0:22:05 > 0:22:10"Colac's Calamitous Cricketing Collapse"

0:22:10 > 0:22:12by Terry Reynolds.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's a bad bloody joke, is what it is.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18You know, if you ask me...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24..it's just a shame he wasn't hit by something larger.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32When was the last time you saw or spoke to Terry Reynolds?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Er, a couple of weeks ago, maybe.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37What did you two speak about?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40He demanded all my old work, my notebooks,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42all my research, everything.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Right. And you just, um... just gave them to him, did you?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49He said it didn't belong to me, it belonged to the paper.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54- What was in the notebooks? - 38 years worth of contacts.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57And you expect me to believe

0:22:57 > 0:23:01that all that inspired in you was a little professional jealousy?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Did you kill Terry Reynolds, Mr Treloar?

0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Of course I didn't!- Are you sure?

0:23:08 > 0:23:09Pretty sure, yeah.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14All right, Harvey, you're free to go.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20But if there's something you're not telling me, I will find out.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Are we clear?

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Are we clear?- We're clear.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Oh, I need to search Terry Reynolds' flat.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34I've released the caddy. You can head over to The Courier.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Er, no need, Superintendent. - Mr Tyneman.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40What can we do for you?

0:23:40 > 0:23:41After your Sergeant's visit,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44I had Miss Anderson perform a search of Terry Reynolds' desk.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46And?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Mr Tyneman thought this might be useful to your investigation.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54Harvey Treloar's old notebooks, a few photos, some hate mail.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57We found them in a hidden compartment underneath a drawer.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01As I said, if Terry has done anything untoward

0:24:01 > 0:24:03I want to know about it.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08Just want to be clear where we all stand.

0:24:14 > 0:24:20I know. I know. The man can be an arse but at least now we have these.

0:24:25 > 0:24:26What is it?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30We may have a problem.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40SMASHING

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Lucien, what on Earth are you doing?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Um, well, I popped home to ask you a question and...

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Well, you... you were out.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56So you thought you'd murder all the dishes?

0:24:56 > 0:24:57What happened to Mr Pig?

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Hm? Mr Pig.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Yes, well, he was used to test for bruising and this, all of this,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06is to test for skull fractures.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Look, I'm trying to determine a potential murder weapon.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Is that what you wanted to ask me? - No, as a matter of fact.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20Um, look, Jean, here.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- That's shorthand.- Yes.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26I'm sorry. I've never had any need for it.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28No, didn't think so.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Ah. This? Hate mail.- Really?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Addressed to Terry Reynolds

0:25:36 > 0:25:38signed by a number of different people,

0:25:38 > 0:25:40all with the same handwriting.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Hm!

0:25:41 > 0:25:45You know, there was another article in this afternoon's edition

0:25:45 > 0:25:46about the Chinese.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Have you spoken to Mei Lin?

0:25:50 > 0:25:54I think you should visit and explain what's going on.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59Yes, well, perhaps later I might. By the way, I should be home in time...

0:25:59 > 0:26:04Lucien, you don't always need to change the topic of conversation.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Thank you, Jean.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- I should probably take... - I'll do it.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19I'll be home later.

0:26:28 > 0:26:35Mei Lin, these... these articles, they...

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Look, it's all about selling newspapers.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40I wouldn't want to think that something like this

0:26:40 > 0:26:44would make you feel unwelcome in anyway.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48You worry too much about me.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52If I've proven nothing else, it's that I'm survivor, yes?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Yes.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59You're stronger than me. You always were.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07This case you're working on, have you found the person responsible?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09No, not yet.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12There are several suspects,

0:27:12 > 0:27:15all with their own reasons for wanting him dead.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17It reminds me of something you used to say

0:27:17 > 0:27:20about the men you worked with in Singapore.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23"Cut the grass and..."

0:27:23 > 0:27:26"And the snakes will come out."

0:27:26 > 0:27:28You remember that?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31I remember everything.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Goodness me. I should probably get going.

0:27:38 > 0:27:43- And I was about to go for my walk. - Will you be all right on your own?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46I've already organised to meet Iris, my new friend.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49I'm fine, Lucien.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53All right.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Sergeant Davis, you called?- Yes.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I was just about to knock off.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Fancy a drink?

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Another, if you'd be so kind, thank you, Cec.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Certainly, sir. A drink or a newspaper?

0:28:45 > 0:28:49Cec, tell me, you much of a golfer?

0:28:49 > 0:28:53Well, sir, my father used to say golf was a waste of good farmland.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57- I see. So how often do you play? - Twice a week, when I can.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Good for you.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00- And, Cec?- Yes?

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Thank you for the telephone call. - Of course, sir.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Look, that's not the issue at the moment.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12I have to agree with your father on this.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16- OK, well, what are we going to do? - Don't worry about what we'll do.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19- But what's it worth to us? - What are you doing? You don't...

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Bit of an upstart, isn't he?

0:29:23 > 0:29:26What's Blake doing staring at us?

0:29:29 > 0:29:33Sounds like Harvey was onto something seriously strange at the golf club.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Strange how?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38I want to be the one to write this story.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42If we're going to work together, Sergeant Davis, I have certain terms.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45Tell you what,

0:29:45 > 0:29:49for all your help, I'll give you two free questions about the case.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Five questions.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54Three each.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Within reason, of course. - Of course.

0:29:59 > 0:30:05So do the police have any suspects in the Terry Reynolds murder as yet?

0:30:06 > 0:30:13We've interviewed several suspects but there's no hard evidence as yet

0:30:13 > 0:30:14to charge anyone.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17Do those notes mention any names?

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Oh, well, Richardson keeps popping up.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Is that the president? - Was that a question?

0:30:23 > 0:30:24Nice try.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Any truth to the rumours of an altercation

0:30:27 > 0:30:31between Reynolds and Richardson in the days leading up to his murder?

0:30:31 > 0:30:35Clay Richardson? Well, not that I...

0:30:38 > 0:30:41You've heard something from one of your sources, I'm guessing.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47You're going to just take all this to Edward Tyneman, aren't you?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Of course I am. What a waste of a question.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53How can you work for someone like that?

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Do you know why I'm here in Ballarat?

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I used to work for a paper in Collingwood, The Chronicle.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07- I know it. - I was there for almost three years.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Never got further than a secretarial role.

0:31:12 > 0:31:17Then my editor offered me a chance to get my foot in the door

0:31:17 > 0:31:20provided that I sleep with him.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24I said no and then I hit him in the face with a dictionary.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27He didn't take it well.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Made a few calls, I got blacklisted from every paper in Melbourne.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34I've worked with all sorts, Charlie.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Edward Tyneman, yeah, he's different.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41He's taken an interest in me.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Not like that.

0:31:44 > 0:31:49- He's using you, Rose. - And I am using him.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52I'm not going to report to people

0:31:52 > 0:31:54like the editor of The Chronicle forever.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I work for the likes of Edward Tyneman now

0:31:57 > 0:32:00so that, in the future, I won't have to.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09So... shall we get back to business?

0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Alec? Fancy a game? - I was just getting my coat.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Right.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25I hope you don't mind me saying so but that looked a tad heated.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28The local tennis squad want to rent some of our practice fairways,

0:32:28 > 0:32:29convert them to grass courts.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- I think it's a good idea.- Ah.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35- But your father and the board don't. - We need more revenue.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Dad needs my help, even if he'd never admit it.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40What about you, Doctor? Any interest in becoming a fee-paying member?

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Well, thank you, but no.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46The only swing I'm familiar with comes from a big band!

0:32:46 > 0:32:50Hey! Get your hand of my boy!

0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Mr Richardson, Alec and I... - Bloody busybody!

0:32:53 > 0:32:55All right, Dad. Time to go home.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02Evening.

0:33:03 > 0:33:08There's been a report of a disturbance at Reynolds' place.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10Speaking of which, I need to borrow you.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27All right, son, there's nowhere to run.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31You're looking for something. So are we.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35So this is why you broke into Reynolds' place, more scorecards?

0:33:39 > 0:33:40They're not scorecards.

0:33:40 > 0:33:45Terry paid me to keep my ears open, write down every dirty little secret

0:33:45 > 0:33:48these blokes might mention to one another.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53And pass them on for a few quid each time, yes?

0:33:53 > 0:33:55But why break in to find them?

0:33:55 > 0:34:01Because... Terry always made me sign the cards.

0:34:01 > 0:34:07He said if anyone found out what he was doing, I'd go down too.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11Which explains why the ones we found on you yesterday

0:34:11 > 0:34:13you'd already erased.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18These are the secrets

0:34:18 > 0:34:22of arguably some of the most important men in Ballarat.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24It's all right, son.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's all right.

0:34:32 > 0:34:38The thing is, what secret is worth killing for?

0:34:40 > 0:34:44- I haven't got time for this. - It's true, Mr Phillips.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Terry Reynolds was blackmailing you but not about the cricket club.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Leave me alone.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Just answer the question, please, Mr Phillips.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56Terry Reynolds dealt in secrets and he discovered yours, didn't he,

0:34:56 > 0:34:58about your daughter, Claire?

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Does anyone else... - Lyall, it's all right. No-one...

0:35:02 > 0:35:04No-one else needs to know.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09My Claire, she got herself in a bit of trouble

0:35:09 > 0:35:11with one of the boys at school.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13The baby's been adopted now and Claire's recovering

0:35:13 > 0:35:15but Reynolds found out somehow.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19He said he was going to tell one of the boys on the team,

0:35:19 > 0:35:21maybe even the gossip columnist at the paper.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Unless you paid him. - She was 17, Doctor.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26He would've ruined her life.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Sounds like you had every reason to...

0:35:33 > 0:35:36..despise the man.

0:35:36 > 0:35:40I wrote some angry letters to the paper, signed with different names.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42I thought they'd give him the flick but Harvey -

0:35:42 > 0:35:45remember how I told you I took him out for a drink

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- the night Reynolds sent him packing?- And?

0:35:48 > 0:35:51And I remember Harvey saying that Terry would never see him coming.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57- All because they were demoting him? - They weren't just demoting him.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01Mr Treloar?

0:36:05 > 0:36:09Mr Treloar, we'd just like to speak with you for a minute.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17Mr Treloar, we'd just like to speak with you.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22Just leave me alone!

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Harvey, please.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47- Edward, what the blazes... - Not now, Dad.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Everything's under control.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56Thank you, Doctor. Now I have cause to fire the old fool.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59Edward, please...

0:37:04 > 0:37:09- You've known Harvey Treloar for... - More than 30 years.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11We started out together.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16My father hired him.

0:37:18 > 0:37:19And my son just fired him.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26This was never about you sponsoring the Ballarat Open, was it?

0:37:26 > 0:37:29You knew, sooner or later, all this would lead back to Edward

0:37:29 > 0:37:33and I'm guessing you knew what Terry Reynolds was up to.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Of course I did.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39But you were worried Edward was somehow involved.

0:37:41 > 0:37:47I've tried being hard on him. We both saw how well that worked.

0:37:47 > 0:37:52And I've tried helping him, I've tried encouraging him.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56You look after your family above all else.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00That's what my father taught me.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03Yes.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Patrick, if he's done something wrong,

0:38:08 > 0:38:12I... I can't protect him.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16I know.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20I can't protect him anymore either.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Thanks for the drink, Lucien.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Look, you have no alibi at the time of Terry Reynolds' murder

0:38:30 > 0:38:34and we know you'd spoken seriously about harming the man!

0:38:34 > 0:38:35- Am I wrong?- You're a fool.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Am I wrong?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39You're thicker than two planks, is what you are!

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Harvey, please. Please try to remain calm.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I... I know this is difficult.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49Chief Superintendent, do you think we're able to remove the handcuffs?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52As a sign of good faith?

0:39:04 > 0:39:06There we are.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Now, Harvey, if you didn't kill Terry Reynolds,

0:39:13 > 0:39:16can you think of anyone else who may have wanted to?

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Take your pick.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22You know, in looking into this case, I read some of your writing.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27Apparently my dear late father very much enjoyed your work,

0:39:27 > 0:39:33your passion, years of dedication, your... your turn of phrase.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35There was one in particular. Um...

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Ah, yes.

0:39:37 > 0:39:44"What the especially brutal local derby lacked in ambience...

0:39:44 > 0:39:48"it more than made up for in ambulance."

0:39:51 > 0:39:52Yeah, well, what of it?

0:39:52 > 0:39:56You see, Harvey, I think it's that pride,

0:39:56 > 0:40:00that love for what you do...

0:40:00 > 0:40:03That's what Terry Reynolds and Edward Tyneman

0:40:03 > 0:40:04took from you, isn't it?

0:40:04 > 0:40:07They laughed at me.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Thought it was funny, sending me down there.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17They tried to break me, get me to retire.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19But you're not 65 yet, are you?

0:40:19 > 0:40:21They said it made no difference,

0:40:21 > 0:40:24that'd I'd be physically unfit to work the press.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27Patrick's bloody son.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31I thought he was a mate.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Yes, but Patrick's been cut-off from the newspaper.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36He couldn't help you, not this time.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42His boy said if... if I fought it,

0:40:42 > 0:40:45his lawyer would leave me without a leg to stand on.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50- And that made you angry. - Of course it made me angry!

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Starts out you're... you're too old for footy,

0:40:58 > 0:41:02too old for boxing.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05You can't keep up with the grandkids anymore.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Ah, it happens. Nothing you can do about it.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16But for them to try to tell me I was too old to write,

0:41:16 > 0:41:19to even try to take that from me...

0:41:19 > 0:41:22No-one treats me like a doddering old fool!

0:41:22 > 0:41:26And I won't have anyone laugh at me either, not now, not ever.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Boss? We've finished with the shorthand.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33There's something you should see.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39Well?

0:41:39 > 0:41:44Now, Frank, please don't think I'm not enjoying being your caddy

0:41:44 > 0:41:46but what are we doing back at the crime scene?

0:41:46 > 0:41:49The shorthand indicated that Richardson may have been

0:41:49 > 0:41:53guilty of misappropriating funds from the golf club.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55You think Reynolds had him under the thumb too?

0:41:55 > 0:41:56Well...

0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Whoa, whoa!- You're all right.

0:42:00 > 0:42:01Thank you.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10Frank, when you found Reynolds,

0:42:10 > 0:42:14he was roughly where you're standing now, lying face-up, correct?

0:42:14 > 0:42:15Yes. That's right.

0:42:15 > 0:42:21Well, if he fell in from up here, and I'm sure he did,

0:42:21 > 0:42:26why were there no marks in the sand showing where he tumbled down?

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Well, Freddie Wilson said he raked.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33Yes, around the body, after he stole Mr Reynolds' wallet,

0:42:33 > 0:42:35but time would've been of the essence.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38I think he would've raked his footprints to and from the body

0:42:38 > 0:42:41but not the whole bunker, surely.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Hm...

0:42:44 > 0:42:47It's none of your bloody business! I'll go to prison for this!

0:42:47 > 0:42:51- What the hell are you doing? - Hey, there's no need for that!

0:42:53 > 0:42:55You're coming with me.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Don't worry, Dad.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58- I'm coming with you. - No, you're not, Alec.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01As legal counsel, I have the right to accompany him.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03Fine. Suit yourself.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Now, Clay, you've obviously been drinking so we can delay this

0:43:06 > 0:43:09until we're both satisfied that you're sober.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11No. No, get it over with.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15Now, you're aware that The Courier was putting together a story on you?

0:43:15 > 0:43:20- Phff! Reynolds.- Not a first, though.

0:43:20 > 0:43:24Harvey Treloar found out about everything that was going on

0:43:24 > 0:43:26but he wasn't about to publish anything.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29No. You see, he wouldn't do that to a mate.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Terry Reynolds, on the other hand,

0:43:31 > 0:43:34well, he knew the club was in a bit of strife

0:43:34 > 0:43:36and he knew you were responsible.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39You don't have to answer that, Dad. It wasn't a question.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41- We lost some money. - You were embezzling funds.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Unless you have proof of that, Superintendent,

0:43:44 > 0:43:45that's speculative nonsense.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47I didn't embezzle a penny.

0:43:47 > 0:43:53I just... made some bad decisions with the... the club's money.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57And Terry knew, with the Ballarat Open only days away,

0:43:57 > 0:43:59well, if the members found out...

0:43:59 > 0:44:02This is absurd! Superintendent, I suggest we postpone...

0:44:02 > 0:44:05Will you shut your mouth? Let me handle this!

0:44:05 > 0:44:08You keep interrupting and I'll be interviewing you next.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10Sit down.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Thank you.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21The autopsy report shows a small amount of alcohol

0:44:21 > 0:44:23in Reynolds' system when he died.

0:44:23 > 0:44:28So you two have a beer at the clubhouse after his round, yes?

0:44:28 > 0:44:29Yes.

0:44:29 > 0:44:34You argued at the bar. Soon after, he was found dead.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37Bottle to the temple is my guess, or something similar.

0:44:37 > 0:44:38Superintendent, please...

0:44:38 > 0:44:41Son, your father is a helluva nice bloke when he's sober

0:44:41 > 0:44:43but forever looking for a fight when he's not.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45You were the last person to see Reynolds alive

0:44:45 > 0:44:48and no-one, no-one, can corroborate your story

0:44:48 > 0:44:50of being on the practice fairway at the time of death!

0:44:53 > 0:44:55No. No, that's right.

0:45:06 > 0:45:10Oh, there you are. What are you doing, sitting in the dark?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Oh. Was I?

0:45:14 > 0:45:18You know, if someone really wanted that man dead,

0:45:18 > 0:45:20then doing the deed on a public golf course

0:45:20 > 0:45:24still seems like a very strange choice to me.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29It's obvious that you need to talk about this, Lucien,

0:45:29 > 0:45:32and I'm not going anywhere until you do, so...

0:45:32 > 0:45:35All right.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38The police have arrested Clay Richardson

0:45:38 > 0:45:40for Terry Reynolds' murder.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42- But you don't think he did it. - Oh...

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Jean, what do you know about the man?

0:45:46 > 0:45:50Well, Clay owned and ran a successful freight company

0:45:50 > 0:45:52with his wife, till not very long ago.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54His wife?

0:45:54 > 0:45:57Bronwyn. She passed away a year or so ago. Lovely woman.

0:45:57 > 0:46:01Right. And after she died...

0:46:01 > 0:46:05He sold the company. Bronwyn handled the finances, from what I've heard.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07I see.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Which might explain...

0:46:14 > 0:46:17why he's now in trouble for embezzlement.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19From the golf club? No, that doesn't sound right.

0:46:19 > 0:46:20No?

0:46:20 > 0:46:23"Embezzlement" suggests he knew what he was doing.

0:46:23 > 0:46:27I think it's more likely that he just couldn't juggle club finances.

0:46:27 > 0:46:32Right. Would he kill someone to keep that hidden, I wonder?

0:46:32 > 0:46:36And then, of course, there's, um, er, Alec.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39The son? Well, he's a lawyer, not an accountant.

0:46:39 > 0:46:43Do you know, he very nearly decked me today.

0:46:43 > 0:46:47Who? The father or the son? Richardson the elder.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50He, um... Well, he'd had a few too many and...

0:46:50 > 0:46:54Anyhow, his boy stepped in to stop him.

0:46:54 > 0:47:00It's a shame. Some men just need to be saved from themselves.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02What?

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Of course.

0:47:45 > 0:47:49- Alec! - Doctor. What are you doing here?

0:47:49 > 0:47:52- Fancy that game now? - I'm actually quite busy.

0:47:52 > 0:47:57Alec, it's your father, just a few questions I need to work through.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59My father didn't murder Terry Reynolds, Doctor.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02No. No, I don't think so either.

0:48:02 > 0:48:07But your father's never had a head for figures, has he, Alec?

0:48:07 > 0:48:08But you do.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11The money from the tennis club,

0:48:11 > 0:48:14that wasn't enough to cover what he'd lost.

0:48:14 > 0:48:18Mind you, it was a start.

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Now... Break?

0:48:31 > 0:48:32Lovely.

0:48:34 > 0:48:39Now, you organised to meet Terry Reynolds after he finished his round.

0:48:39 > 0:48:42You didn't tell your father.

0:48:42 > 0:48:46This was something you were determined to deal with...

0:48:46 > 0:48:48on your own.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Now, you argued.

0:48:55 > 0:49:00Push turned to shove and you struck him as hard as you could

0:49:00 > 0:49:02with one of these

0:49:02 > 0:49:04right here at the billiard table.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Phenolic resin, incredibly hard.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15You thought you'd killed him.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18In fact, you started cleaning up all the evidence.

0:49:18 > 0:49:22But he got up and he went outside.

0:49:22 > 0:49:26He staggered as far as the bunker and then he fell.

0:49:26 > 0:49:31You followed him in, you rolled him over...

0:49:33 > 0:49:35..and finished what you'd started.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37Alec?

0:49:37 > 0:49:39Is this man bothering you?

0:49:39 > 0:49:42And then you rolled him over again onto his back

0:49:42 > 0:49:47and then you raked the sand, hoping it would look...

0:49:47 > 0:49:50Oh, goodness. ..like some unfortunate accident.

0:49:50 > 0:49:55It's an interesting theory, Doctor, but it's all conjecture.

0:49:57 > 0:50:01Yes, but if I went to the Colonists' Club

0:50:01 > 0:50:03and checked the billiard tables

0:50:03 > 0:50:05there'd be a ball missing, wouldn't there?

0:50:07 > 0:50:10Of course, you'd have disposed of it by now.

0:50:10 > 0:50:16However, if you used the towel in your golf bag to clean that ball...

0:50:22 > 0:50:26..well, that'd be enough.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32Alec, sometimes fathers need their sons' help,

0:50:32 > 0:50:33even when they won't admit it.

0:50:37 > 0:50:38Dad never...

0:50:38 > 0:50:42I told him we could work things out with Reynolds, that I could help.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44Sometimes, Doctor, the older generation

0:50:44 > 0:50:48don't know when they're in over their head.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11Edward, everything all right?

0:51:12 > 0:51:15Yes, everything's perfectly fine, isn't it, Edward?

0:51:15 > 0:51:19Patrick, here. You two should have a game.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22Clear the air. What do you think?

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Er, Charlie?

0:51:53 > 0:51:55- You don't give up, do you? - I'm afraid not.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00All right. You ready?

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Ballarat Police arrested a man

0:52:03 > 0:52:07in relation to the murder of Mr Terry Reynolds

0:52:07 > 0:52:10of Little Street in East Ballarat...

0:52:10 > 0:52:13"The suspect was apprehended at Wendouree Golf Club last night

0:52:13 > 0:52:16"during a private gala and has since been transferred to Melbourne

0:52:16 > 0:52:19"where he will be held before facing court next month."

0:52:19 > 0:52:21And then it gets rather colourful, after that.

0:52:21 > 0:52:25- Do you mind if I, er, have a look?- No, no.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51I'm extremely busy at the moment so if this is about the article...

0:52:51 > 0:52:54No, it's not. It's about the Herald, you know, in Melbourne.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57Right. What about them?

0:52:57 > 0:52:58They've been asking a lot of questions

0:52:58 > 0:53:01about the events leading up to Terry's death,

0:53:01 > 0:53:03how he got the job here, his role at The Courier,

0:53:03 > 0:53:06his... well, his, er... his work habits.

0:53:06 > 0:53:11They even think that you may have been involved in whatever Terry was up to.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13I see.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17- And what do you think?- Me?

0:53:18 > 0:53:21I think whatever Terry was up to was small potatoes.

0:53:21 > 0:53:26I don't think Edward Tyneman would stoop to that level.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28Did you tell them that?

0:53:28 > 0:53:29No.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32I haven't told them anything.

0:53:35 > 0:53:37At least, not yet.

0:53:42 > 0:53:46Fine. Harvey Treloar gets his job back.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54And you can work the police beat but your work better be good.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57Oh, don't worry. It will be.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04Diet and exercise are very important.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07Yes? Till next time.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15- That's the last one? - Yes. Nothing till one o'clock.

0:54:15 > 0:54:16Right.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19Jean, I really should thank you again.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21- Without you last night, I... - Don't.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24We can't do this.

0:54:24 > 0:54:25Not anymore.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32Yes. I'm sorry.

0:54:32 > 0:54:37Of course, you're... you're absolutely right.

0:54:39 > 0:54:43I wish I wasn't but there it is.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46It's not fair on Mei Lin.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52And it's not fair on me.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00I should go.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Yes, you should.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37KNOCKING

0:55:46 > 0:55:48I was afraid it would be you.

0:55:48 > 0:55:53Well, aren't you going to invite me in?
