0:00:17 > 0:00:18Derek?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21'Lucien.'
0:00:21 > 0:00:22We need to talk.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Somewhere public.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Come alone.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30'You don't trust me?'
0:00:32 > 0:00:36You will listen to what I have to say,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37and then this is over.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Public enough for you?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Inside.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16All of this, Derek?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19All of this, just to put me back in the field?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We're going to war in Indochina, Lucien.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28I can stop it, but I need men on the ground, experienced men.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Add an Asian wife, you're quite an asset.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I am not an asset. Neither is my wife.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Your attention, please. My name is Dr Joanna Bainbridge,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and it is my privilege to welcome you to the Ballarat Observatory.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47We shall now open the observatory roof.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51What we are about to witness is what is called an annular eclipse.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The moon doesn't totally block out the sun.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Please ready your projectors.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Primitive people believed eclipses to be the work of gods.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'll tell you what you're going to do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12You're going to quit your practice, you're going to leave Ballarat
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and come with me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- No.- We belong together, Lucien!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19No, we don't.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22.. will appear as a ring of fire around the dark moon.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25No more games. This ends now.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30You do what I tell you, or I will take everything that you've got -
0:02:30 > 0:02:33your wife, your daughter, your granddaughter,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35your precious housekeeper, all of them.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Lights, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43They're all dead, Lucien.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44GUNSHOT
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Lights! Get the lights!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Get out of the way.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Rose, ambulance, police. Now!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Special Branch are going to be all over this.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It happened when the eclipse was in full swing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The room was dark. There was a gunshot.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Do we know where Lucien is?- No.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02He got Rose to call me, then he disappeared.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Best we keep that to ourselves, understood?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Detective Inspector Llewellyn Sullivan, Special Branch.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- You must be Frank Carlyle. - That's right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm not going to lie to you, Chief Superintendent,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17the army is going to be following this one very closely.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20My role here is to make sure that everyone does their job.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Is that going to be a problem?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I think we can manage that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Your police surgeon signed off yet?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He'll be here soon.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'll get out of your way, then.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Inspector.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Iris. Where's Mrs Blake?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- She left a couple of hours ago. - Do you know where she went?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Lucien!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Mei Lin, where were you?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I was out. What's happened?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Alderton is dead.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I went to meet him. He was supposed to be on his own.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- There was another man with him. - Did he kill Derek?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I just...I don't know. The thing is, while he's still out there...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Mrs Blake? It's Frank Carlyle.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Mrs Blake.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I've just been past your surgery. You weren't there.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Well, needless to say, you're needed for the autopsy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37As you can imagine, there's plenty of official interest in this one.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45You lock the door behind us and you stay inside until I get back, yes?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Frank, Alderton was threatening Mei Lin.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I arranged to meet him, alone, and there was another man there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Who?- Sergeant Robert Hannam.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Hannam severed a man's windpipe a few years back in our morgue.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Never convicted. - National security.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Surprise, surprise.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Anyhow, the lights went out, they attacked me.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23When the lights came back on, Alderton was on the floor.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Hang on, why would this Hannam bloke turn around
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and attack Alderton if they were both after you?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'm still trying to work that out.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41A friend of yours?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Once.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45How well did you know him?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50You see that?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- That was a serious wound.- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Japanese bayonet, on a roadside in Chiang Mai.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00This was your work?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I still can't believe he survived.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Looks like cause of death was a single wound
0:07:13 > 0:07:18to the base of the skull, most likely from a blade of some kind.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But I was just thinking about it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25It must have been very thin and round.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27At least five inches long.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Whatever it was,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34it passed through the cervical vertebrae into the spinal canal.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Into the skull through the foramen magnum.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Into the medulla, severing the brain from the spinal column.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's a very lucky strike.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Or very accurate.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Meaning?- This is textbook.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Whoever killed Alderton has a military background.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I'd say, Special Services.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52That, or medical training.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The eclipse was at its height when I heard the gunshot.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Would it surprise you to know that
0:08:00 > 0:08:02the cause of death wasn't a gunshot wound?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04What was it, then?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06We're not disclosing those details at the moment.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The dead man was a Major Derek Alderton.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Was he known to you, Miss Bainbridge?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's Dr Bainbridge.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The military was hoping for permission to use our equipment
0:08:18 > 0:08:20to track satellites.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Major Alderton was part of those discussions.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We've gone through Major Alderton's possessions.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Is that your letter?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33You know it is.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So the day before Major Alderton dies,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38you send him a letter
0:08:38 > 0:08:42in which you describe him as "a threat to humanity".
0:08:42 > 0:08:45"Everyone would be better off if you just upped and died."
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Because he had sent me a letter calling me a stupid woman
0:08:49 > 0:08:52who thought she was more important than the country that raised her.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Said he'd have me discredited,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and there was nothing I could do about it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Could I see that letter?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I destroyed it, along with all his other correspondence.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Where were you standing when the lights came back on?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I was nearby.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13What, you weren't operating the telescope?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16That's not recommended during an eclipse.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Besides, the telescope has been experiencing
0:09:19 > 0:09:22some mechanical difficulties at the moment.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24There was another man,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26kneeling over the Major when the lights came back on.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Well-dressed,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30sandy hair,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31a beard.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I expect you'll be wanting to speak to him about it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Why is that, Doctor?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Proximity. Isn't that obvious?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Earlier, when I mentioned that there were no bullet wounds in the body,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49you didn't seem surprised.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well, there didn't seem sufficient blood for it to be a gunshot wound,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54certainly not one that would kill him.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56You sound fairly definite about that.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Before I became an astrophysicist, I studied medicine for five years.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Jean. Um...- What?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I thought Mei Lin would be safer here, with us.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Of course.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26This man, it's the same man that I threatened with Christopher's gun?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Yes, Sergeant Robert Hannam.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Do you really think that Derek Alderton was going to kill you?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm absolutely certain of it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm sorry.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Derek didn't tell me about you, or that our daughter was alive.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49And then he started threatening me.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52He said he'd send me back to China. He would kill her.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54KNOCK AT DOOR
0:11:18 > 0:11:21We dug this out of the back wall of the observatory.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24According to your report, there was no trace of a bullet wound
0:11:24 > 0:11:26or gunshot residue on the body,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30which leads me to the question of who fired that gun, and why.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I did.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37And you conveniently forgot to inform me of this?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38I told you they attacked me.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Lucien, that place was packed, and you decided to shoot him?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It was dark, he knocked my hand.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Frank, he was trying to convince me - force me - to rejoin the Service.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48He was using Mei Lin and our daughter as bargaining chips.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I called him to arrange a meeting.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well, obviously you didn't trust him.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53For bloody good reason!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58We spoke, Hannam arrived, the lights went out.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Anything else you're not telling me?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm sorry. That's it, Frank.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Sergeant?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Anything I can do, Doc? - Find Hannam.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Calling me at work, an intimate drink in romantic surroundings.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Not getting sentimental, are we?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Not at all. This is where I take all the girls.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'm actually trying to find someone.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- Ha! Work.- Hm.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Is this about the observatory murder?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Well, you were there.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Did you see him?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Just before the eclipse. He was at the observatory, near me.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Is this your killer?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, he might be.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05We're finding it difficult to get any information.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Did you see anything else that might help us?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Only that he headed into the car park
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and got into a green Studebaker sedan.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Does that help?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Is Lucien all right?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Well, you know the Doc. When he's not fixing things up...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- He's making a complete mess of everything.- Mm.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So when can I write about this?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Ah, probably never.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Sometimes I wonder why I bother.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42The Soviet Union has three working satellites, the US, five.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45More are scheduled for launch next year by both sides.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And you're meant to be assisting the military with their observational program?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50There are other objects in the sky.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Studying those might be a better use of our limited resources.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Look, I was excited at first. NASA had just been set up.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02We were going to make amazing discoveries.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05We were going to show people the wonders of the universe.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09But it didn't happen that way?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12They started telling us where we could look and when,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14what of our results we could publish and what we couldn't.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Major Alderton became quite adamant.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20And all the letters that you sent him?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25They were friendly at first.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Are you aware of the Society for Social Responsibility in Science?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm a communist spy now, am I?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36No, but you are a member of a suspect organisation.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, you can thank Major Alderton for me joining.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I hadn't thought about it until I dealt with him.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You think I killed him.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Major Alderton was stabbed...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54back of the head, into the base of the brain.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And that would take a certain skill set,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59and you've had five years' medical study.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Let me show you something.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I was studying to be a surgeon,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14but then I developed rheumatoid arthritis,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17so I had to find something else to do with my time.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It takes a very thin blade to do that kind of damage,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and as you can see, I can barely hold a pencil.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Mei Lin?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You all right?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I never wanted any of this.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Perhaps it would have been better if we'd never found one another.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48KNOCK AT DOOR
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You wait inside for a moment.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Dr Blake? I'd like a word, if I may.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Detective Inspector Llewellyn Sullivan.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Do you mind if I come in?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Please.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Thank you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I read your autopsy report.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Interesting.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I felt like I should make the effort to meet you in person.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Frank Carlyle thought it would be best for me to, um,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33steer clear of the investigation, given I was there.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35And that you knew him.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Well.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And even with all of that,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm not sure that Carlyle got it right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Regarding the Major, I've been asking my own questions.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52And?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Well, it seems, within his own branch of the Service,
0:16:55 > 0:17:00there was growing reservations about his recent conduct
0:17:00 > 0:17:02and judgment.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03You think they may have...
0:17:05 > 0:17:06It is possible.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I understand that you served in Intelligence with the Major.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I'm just a country doctor, Mr Sullivan. I thought you knew that.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Indeed. - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Doc, I spoke to Rose...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's all right, Charlie. Please, join us.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Fancy a drink?- Ah. Thank you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40So, tell me, how did you get on?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Well, we know Joanna Bainbridge had medical training,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and that Hannam was driving a green Studebaker.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Robert Hannam?- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52You leave it to me.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Let's just hope he hasn't gone to ground, because if he has,
0:17:56 > 0:17:57we'll never find him again.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I mean, you've met the man. Where do you think he might have gone?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Hard to say, but I do know this -
0:18:06 > 0:18:10wherever he is, he'll be working out the most efficient way
0:18:10 > 0:18:12to tie up any loose ends.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Of which you are one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Is there anything else about this case that I should know?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23No.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25To service.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28To service.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think, given the circumstances,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I should probably take the lead on this.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Yes, I agree.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Put the towel down and step up against the wall, please.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Step back against the wall, please, Doctor.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25All right.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26I was here yesterday.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Sergeant? - Thank you, miss. That'll be all.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30If you wouldn't mind.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Our superintendent tells me that you were armed
0:19:35 > 0:19:40when you had your meeting with Major Alderton yesterday.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Look, what about Hannam, have you put any effort into locating him?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And what about Dr Bainbridge? Weren't you going to speak with her?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Dr Bainbridge suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51She can barely grasp a pencil.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Yes, but have you checked with her doctor?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54- There are treatments available... - Sir?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Frank, this is lunacy!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- What the bloody hell is going on? - Someone's trying to frame me!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Well, they're doing a pretty decent job of it, aren't they?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Yes, they are.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Look, I know you have to lock me up.- Yes, I'm afraid so.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Maybe we could use that, turn it to our advantage...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Doctor, I'll need your belt and tie. - Superintendent, is this really...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Just do it. - We right, Chief Superintendent?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32All right, Doctor?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Let's start from the beginning.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Davis?- I gave Dr Harvey that blade, boss.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46She's running the tests you wanted now.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Good.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Do you really think he did it, sir?- Not sure yet, son.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Wouldn't be the first time he's killed a man,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I can tell you that much.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19I didn't realise you were there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- If you're hungry, I can... - Do you hate me?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I know I would.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Is there anything you need?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I think I might go and get some air.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Don't call out.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Don't do anything.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Where's Blake?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I don't know where he is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You can do that all you like, I don't know.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I need to see him.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Maybe you should make an appointment.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18You tell him, we need to meet,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20but he leaves the police out of it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Yeah, I understand.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Well, I'll do that as soon as I can. Thank you very much.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Thank you for calling, Charlie. Can I see him?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Mrs Blake, I assume?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Mind if I have a word?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55We found the knife in Mei Lin's room and Lucien was there.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Did he hurt you?- No.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03- Show me your hands. - They're only bruises.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Here. At least this will keep you occupied.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- The house isn't safe, you know. - Yes, I've already thought of that.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And do you know where to go?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Yes. I'll take Mei Lin with me.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No, he was never in the room without me.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20We found him there alone today, Mrs Blake.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I gave him the key.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Yesterday afternoon, your husband came to see you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Was there any period of time THEN
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- when he was in your room without you?- No!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I went out. When I got back, he was waiting for me.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- So he was there before you arrived?- He was outside the room!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46What was your husband's reaction when you told him
0:23:46 > 0:23:48that Derek Alderton was threatening you and your family?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52He was displeased.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Enough to harm the man?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Failure to answer our questions truthfully may result in charges
0:23:58 > 0:24:01laid against you, and that may also reflect poorly
0:24:01 > 0:24:05on any attempt made by you to become a naturalised Australian citizen.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09He was looking after me. That's the only reason that he was angry.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Lucien is a good man.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19I am sorry.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I'm sorry about everything.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Mrs Beazley, they're heading back downstairs.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Also, the boss is going to place an officer at the house for you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I'll be fine, Charlie. I'll make my own arrangements.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Very well.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Will you be all right?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Yes, of course.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47I'll be fine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58As I said, Dr Harvey, I'm very sorry,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00but I'm under strict instructions.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Dr Harvey. - I want to speak with Dr Blake,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05but apparently, I'm not allowed.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Yes. He's currently indisposed. What have you got?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11The wound on the body matches the size and shape of the weapon.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The blood type on the weapon matches that on the towel, AB positive.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Major Alderton?- Also AB positive.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20And considering only 3% of the population
0:25:20 > 0:25:21has that particular blood type...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24The knife was obviously the weapon used to kill Alderton.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26It's not a knife.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It's a small, thin rod with a base that could be a handle,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31but it's intended for some other purpose.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It's precision-engineered and calibrated,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36as the measurements on the side of the rod indicate.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41- Where does it come from?- Some complex, highly accurate machine.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Please tell Dr Blake to let me know if there's anything else he needs.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Of course. Doctor.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49- Boss, this is stupid.- Davis...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You know the doctor has nothing to do with any of this.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- You can't just stick him down in the cells.- He's right, Frank.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I mean, I want to smack the bloke most of the time, but...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I don't remember asking for either of your opinions.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Motive, necessary skill, are they present?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Yes, sir.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Means, opportunity, subsequent behaviour - do they all line up?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Yes, sir.- Given that, if this was anybody else,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- what would you be doing? - Locking him up.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14You keep your personal feelings out of this
0:26:14 > 0:26:17and you follow the trail of evidence.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20A failure to do so will result in disciplinary action. Am I clear?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Yes, sir.- Sir.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Good.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Doc?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Charlie.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55What can I do to help?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02You know how you can help me, Charlie?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Trust me.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Dr Harvey thinks the murder weapon was some sort of part
0:27:13 > 0:27:16from a complex machine.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- A machine?- Mm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Like a telescope, perhaps, hm?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Interesting.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Makes it opportunistic.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Someone was there, they saw a chance, they took it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Mind you, that's a hell of a thing to do
0:27:35 > 0:27:40on the spur of the moment, isn't it, in near total darkness.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Of course, it might also explain how I could've killed him, correct?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well...
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Yes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Is Rose about?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Tell her to go and talk to that maid.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Someone got into that room.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Doc, she's not police.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well, she should be, she asks enough questions.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05All right. All right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Also, tell Dr Harvey to look through Bainbridge's medical records -
0:28:10 > 0:28:14anti-inflammatories, anything that might help with her symptoms.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Then go back to the observatory and ask her about that bloody telescope.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Will do, Doc.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27And, Charlie...
0:28:30 > 0:28:32..thank you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Please!
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Look out!
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Sir, look out!
0:29:50 > 0:29:51You all right?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Why did you attack me?
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- I thought that man had come back.- Who?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04A man came today, and he said he'd...
0:30:04 > 0:30:06kill me if I told anyone.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14This him?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Yes.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You told my boss there was no way you could hold a knife.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23You seem to have a pretty good grip to me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33There it is.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35What is it, Doctor?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43This tool allows me to adjust the aperture.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46How long has it been missing?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Two days.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50So, before the eclipse?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52That morning, I came in, and it was gone.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I'm going to lose all this, aren't I?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59All of this.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02My entire life's work.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Everything I've ever believed in.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09He was going to take it from me,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11the whole universe...
0:31:13 > 0:31:14..just because he could.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Lights, please.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Doctor?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32What's that?
0:31:36 > 0:31:41I'm guessing your old station boss didn't like you very much.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42William Munro.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Created a dossier on you.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Very detailed.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53He also managed to track down your agency file.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00How many men did you kill, Doctor, during your service?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Two.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Bao Cheng in Taipei...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12..Victor Gennardy in Macau.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I've been wondering if their deaths have anything to do with this.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You remembered their names.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It's the least I can do.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28How did you do it?
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Just walk away from the Service,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36become that simple country doctor?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Believe it or not, Mr Sullivan...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46..I love what I do.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Still, a big change.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I'm afraid it's not looking good, Lucien.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Quite.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03But explain to me, please explain to me
0:33:03 > 0:33:05how I killed him.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Well, accepting the fact you've got more than enough motive...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Ah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14You arranged to meet Major Alderton at the observatory.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17You took a gun with you for protection.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22But you managed to find a weapon there
0:33:22 > 0:33:24that they couldn't trace back to you.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29You improvised, as per your training.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Then, when the eclipse was at its height, you made your move.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Lucien...
0:33:40 > 0:33:44..if there's anything that you can tell me, anything at all
0:33:44 > 0:33:47that will help you get out of here, now is the time.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I've been speaking to Frank.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07About what, exactly?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09About your transfer to Melbourne.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Special Branch have requested a much more thorough conversation with you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21They arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Get some sleep. You're going to need it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50KNOCK AT DOOR
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Thank you, Cec.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Jean, would you like to finish my shandy?
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Why not?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Do you actually like it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47It's an acquired taste.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Lucien saved my life when he put us on that boat.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Neither of us would have survived the occupation.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Remembering that helped me afterwards,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06when I had to keep going.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I can understand why he married you.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20What is it?
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Goodnight, Jean.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Derek Alderton was in love with me...
0:36:56 > 0:37:00..and I slept with him before the war.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05He was a nice man, and I had fun. Life was like that then.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I didn't see him for 17 years.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12I was in a camp in Hong Kong when I saw him again.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Why are you telling us all this?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20He'd changed, become cold...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23..vicious.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27He wanted to sleep with me again,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29and he tried to turn me against my husband.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You should know that we're charging your husband
0:37:34 > 0:37:36with the murder of Major Alderton.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I thought only Chinese law was corrupt.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Do you actually think he'd kill Derek right there, in public?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43You just told us why.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Jealousy only works if you love someone.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Lucien doesn't love me...
0:37:51 > 0:37:52..not any more.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I followed them to the observatory.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I walked into the room when it was dark.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And when Derek tried to kill Lucien, I stabbed him.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13All right. What sort of knife did you use?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16It wasn't a knife, it was part of the telescope,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19a kind of thin rod with a handle,
0:38:19 > 0:38:22up through the vertebrae and into the base of the skull.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Wait a minute.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Your husband told us that he left the observatory to go to you
0:38:28 > 0:38:30at your hotel.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Ask him if I was there when he arrived.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I kept the weapon in my pocket.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40When he was gone, I hid it in the mattress.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Is Lucien still downstairs?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Why, has he confessed?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54No. No, he hasn't.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Well, then.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Mei Lin.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Frank, what's going on?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06A complication.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11No! Not her?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14She confessed.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16She got all the details right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Special Branch?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Off the table, I'm afraid, for you, at least.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23What the hell do we do now?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Where's Mei Lin?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39- She confessed.- What?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41To Alderton's murder.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I...I know.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45We need to work quickly.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Robert Hannam?
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Well, I spoke to a mate in Special Branch. He's missing.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53They're starting to panic.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Very loyal, he was there at the time of the murder
0:39:57 > 0:39:58and we know he's dangerous.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02But, why? Why would he kill Alderton?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04What about Dr Bainbridge?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Well, there's her moral objection to the military use of scientific work.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Repeating prescriptions of cortisone,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12for her hands, apparently.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15He was going to end her life's work. I think that really got to her.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- She told you this yesterday?- Yeah.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19But I really don't think she's involved.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Which leads us to Mei Lin. She confessed.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27She's trying to protect you, that's all.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28She knew what the murder weapon was.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33I told her. She came to the morgue this morning, said you'd sent her.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35She asked questions, I gave her answers, then she left.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Also, that piece from the telescope went missing
0:40:38 > 0:40:40the morning before the eclipse.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Sounds well planned to me, quite impressive.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Jean, what did Hannam say?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52He said he wanted to talk with you, without the police.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Of course.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Charlie, you and Alice, go talk to Bainbridge.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58We need a blood test to confirm whether or not
0:40:58 > 0:41:00she is using cortisone.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Rose, Hannam might be hiding and sleeping rough
0:41:02 > 0:41:05but he's still got to eat. So, stores, markets.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07See if anyone matching his description
0:41:07 > 0:41:10has been stocking up on canned goods, other non-perishables.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Get this one back to the Colonists' Club so I know she's safe.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Get yourself to the club! I'm staying here.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18All right.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22We know what we've got to do. Let's meet back here in two hours.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Charlie, eyes open, yeah?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You sent them away to keep them safe, didn't you?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42How long do you think we'll have to wait?
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Not long.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Hands where I can see them, and I want that gun of yours.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Sergeant Hannam. Right on time. I'll leave that there in good faith.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You fancy a cuppa?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Thank you, Jean.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Why did you kill Major Alderton?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Because he betrayed our friendship.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41He used my family against me, and he seduced my wife.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46So I chose a very public venue to get my revenge,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50relying on hand-to-hand combat skills I haven't had to use in years
0:42:50 > 0:42:54against two men, despite the fact I had a loaded revolver
0:42:54 > 0:42:56concealed just under my jacket.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Then, of course, I 'tended' to the Major -
0:42:59 > 0:43:01checked for a pulse, that sort of thing -
0:43:01 > 0:43:03before finally fleeing the building.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Does that sound at all plausible to you?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Really?
0:43:09 > 0:43:12And what about you, Robert? You've killed before.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Only on orders, Doctor. - Were you ordered to kill me?
0:43:15 > 0:43:16If necessary.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20The Major thought you would agree to his proposal.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23And if I didn't?
0:43:23 > 0:43:25If you posed a threat, I would silence you.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27And you didn't question that?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30All right. Jean, I...
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Robert, I...
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Tell me this. Why...
0:43:38 > 0:43:40..why would someone want to kill Alderton?
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Because he had become a liability.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45- To whom?- To us.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49You know, he mentioned a war in Indochina,
0:43:49 > 0:43:53and that he believed he held the key to a peaceful solution.
0:43:53 > 0:43:54I don't know what he believed.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59I don't even think he knew any more,
0:43:59 > 0:44:03certainly not what the brass told him to believe.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09You're saying, he thought he was above following orders?
0:44:09 > 0:44:11I'm saying he made mistakes, Doctor.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Bad decisions, decisions that cost men their lives.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20So they tried to send him to Canberra,
0:44:20 > 0:44:22to a desk.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26He refused.
0:44:27 > 0:44:28I see.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35Sergeant, someone followed us to that observatory.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38They knew...they knew we would be there. How?
0:44:38 > 0:44:40Your phone's been bugged for months, Doctor.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42- KNOCK AT DOOR - Lucien, you in there?
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Don't be a bloody idiot. We had no idea he was coming.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Thank you for the tea.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Lucien, are you all right?
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Yes, I'm fine.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- Where's Hannam?- He was here. He's not the killer.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01- Then who the hell is? - What are you doing here?
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Improvising, seeing the plan fell through.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05There was a plan?
0:45:06 > 0:45:07Yes.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13To see if someone would approach us at the station.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Then we decided we'd try to lure Hannam out.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Frank organised to have me transferred to Melbourne.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19You see, that would have put me out in the open.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Where you were going to use yourself as live bait? Some plan.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Yes, well, it doesn't matter now.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27We thought it would force someone to show their hand,
0:45:27 > 0:45:29but it hasn't bloody happened.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Yes, it has.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Mr Sullivan.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Now, don't shout.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Don't shout, don't shout. No-one can hear you.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Major Alderton created an awful mess,
0:45:53 > 0:45:56and I'm the one that has to clean it up.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57SHE SHRIEKS
0:46:00 > 0:46:01Don't!
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I'll try and make this as quick as I can.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Sullivan.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Mei Lin! Hang on.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18It's all right, Mei Lin. It's all right.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19You're going to be all right.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Lucien!
0:46:24 > 0:46:26I've got you.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28It's all right. I've got you.
0:46:29 > 0:46:30I've got you.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38Derek Alderton had become a liability.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40But he refused to retire.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44So I decided to sort it out, right?
0:46:44 > 0:46:47It's why you murdered him, yes.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51Derek Alderton knew the rules, Lucien.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54We follow orders unconditionally. That's our world.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56And if you don't...
0:46:57 > 0:46:59..you become expendable.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02You know that better than anyone.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04It's your world, not mine.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10So, how did you figure it out?
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Quite simple, really.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16At the end of the day, it was all just a question of time and space.
0:47:16 > 0:47:21Think about where we all were in relation to one another.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23A crowd between us, distance to cover
0:47:23 > 0:47:27in darkness, all in the span of just a few seconds.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32There's no way Hannam or Dr Bainbridge
0:47:32 > 0:47:35could have traversed that distance, that space,
0:47:35 > 0:47:37in the time available to them.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41There had to be someone else in that room, someone we didn't know about.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Once you'd killed Alderton, all that was left to do
0:47:47 > 0:47:52was to plant the evidence with a little help from Iris.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56You remember Iris, Frank, from the Soldier's Hill Hotel.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58I wonder, Mr Sullivan...
0:47:59 > 0:48:04..did you pay her for her stellar contribution?
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Well, domestic wages are hard to get by on.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10It seems the only thing you didn't take into account
0:48:10 > 0:48:13was just how many people you could blame for this.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16Did I miss anything?
0:48:20 > 0:48:21No.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24I think that just about covers it.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Boss?
0:48:28 > 0:48:29The military police are here.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51I'll get that, sir.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06Hey, Sullivan...
0:49:09 > 0:49:11- Drop the gun!- Drop it!
0:49:31 > 0:49:33It's over, Sergeant.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42Sergeant Robert Hannam, 3rd Regiment, 4th Division.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Army number 26052.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Why did Derek hate you so much?
0:50:08 > 0:50:11You used to be such good friends.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Those years we spent together...
0:50:21 > 0:50:23..in the camp...
0:50:25 > 0:50:27..that place...
0:50:27 > 0:50:29we all came out very different men,
0:50:29 > 0:50:31certainly, I did.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33And Derek?
0:50:36 > 0:50:38They broke him.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42I witnessed the whole thing. It was just...
0:50:43 > 0:50:45It was just awful.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49He gave up. He...
0:50:52 > 0:50:53He wanted to die.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57You know me. I couldn't have that.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00So I saved him. I, um...
0:51:02 > 0:51:06I kept him alive, and I don't think he ever forgave me for that.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08KNOCK AT DOOR
0:51:08 > 0:51:09I'll get it.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13And you never told anyone?
0:51:15 > 0:51:16No.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19No. I didn't think it was right, somehow.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22He's here.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Thank you, Jean.
0:51:28 > 0:51:29I'm ready.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Six hours until the ship leaves,
0:51:41 > 0:51:44which is plenty of time to get us down to the port and boarded.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Here are passports for you and your family.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52It's been arranged they'll meet you at the consulate in Hong Kong.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54Thank you.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02I'll make sure she gets on board safely.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06I can't thank you enough, Frank.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16Mei Lin, I...
0:52:18 > 0:52:20It's time for both of us to start our lives again.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27You travel safe.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30You too, Lucien.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08Jean...
0:53:15 > 0:53:17..there's something I need to ask you.
