(Harrow) Previously on Harrow.

(Pavich) Welcome to the new member of the QIFM staff, Dr. Grace Molyneaux.

Hello, Grace.

- You're Fairley's girlfriend? - He's my uncle.

Why aren't you in hospital?

I thought I'd look over some old case files

- to see who might have an axe to grind. - There are thousands.

- Yeah, I shot him. - Shot who?

Daniel Harrow.

Mr. Lincoln roses.

- (man 1) Did you like my flowers? - Who is this?

This is the man who left those red roses, because I'm the one who shot you.

(Harrow) The man who shot me has been arrested.

(man 1) And has perished in Her Majesty's care.

I'm glad I didn't kill you with my first shot.

Now, I will take away everything that you hold dear.

Everything that makes your life worth living.

(car alarm blaring)

(theme music playing)

(Stuart) Well, that went better than I expected.

(Stephanie) Were we in the same courtroom? She's going to trial.

Your daughter was caught with $20,000 worth of stolen pharmaceuticals

in her flat.

We were lucky the magistrate went with our submission.

That I have to live with Mum or Dad?

So, who's it going to be?

- You should stay with me. - You should stay with your mum.

Shooting? Dad, they caught the guy, right? He's dead.

Yeah. That's fine. I'll stay with Mum.

Good, I'll let the magistrate know.

So, in the meantime, stick to your bail conditions, find yourself a job.

Stay out of trouble.

Can we go please?

Fern?

We will make this right.

Do you think she'll be okay staying at yours?

She's going to have to be.

Fish! What happened, eh? What did they say?

Cal, they think I did it. And they don't want me seeing you anymore.

- What? Why? - Because you've got a criminal record.

If the cops see you and Fern together,

she'll be arrested for breaching her bail conditions.

But she didn't do anything wrong. They weren't her drugs.

- Were they yours? - No!

- No, I... I wouldn't do that to you. - We have to go.

- You know I wouldn't do that to you. Fish! - Now.

Callan.

You have to stay away from her.

- Are you telling the truth? - Seriously?

Who tipped you off?

Fern said you knew exactly what you were looking for when you raided her flat.

Someone told you the Fentanyl was there? Who?

You know I can't tell you that.

I know what you think about Fern, but she's not a criminal.

And she's not the doe-eyed innocent you think she is, either.

She was working as a cleaner at the chemist

where the Fentanyl was stolen from.

She was on the premises the same day the drugs went missing.

She had keys, she had access to the security system

and she knew where the drugs were kept.

Purely circumstantial. That proves nothing.

I also had scientific check the bag.

Fern's fingerprints are all over it.

Well, of course they are. It's her bag. She's not denying that.

No other prints, Dan. Only hers.

Your daughter broke the law, and she's going to have to pay.

(phone ringing)

Harrow.

- (Nichols) How's Jill McCloud? - Heart-warming as ever.

- And your daughter? - Not guilty.

Every parent wants to believe their child is innocent.

I know how it sounds,

but I'm not convinced it's as straightforward as Jill thinks.

What do you mean?

I, uh, got a call late last night.

- It was a man's voice. - Mm.

He said he was the person who shot me.

He told me that he was glad I didn't die

because now he wants to destroy everything I care about.

And right after that, I got the call that Fern had been arrested.

You know Skene confessed to the shooting. He had the gun.

- I know. - And now he's in your morgue.

This wasn't a prank call. This guy knew things.

He wants to make me suffer.

Harrow, think about what you're suggesting here.

That Skene was a patsy?

Someone set him up, and that same someone

put stolen drugs in your daughter's flat all to get back at you?

I know. It sounds crazy.

Okay, listen, we'll take it seriously.

We're still monitoring your phone, so I'll look into it, okay?

All right.

Come on, otherwise young Simon will do you out of a job.

You know, he's becoming a bigger pain in the arse than you.

- Base jumpers. - Yep.

Broke into the building early this morning to access the roof for a dawn jump.

And now look at them. I mean, this is why base-jumping is illegal.

- Any witnesses? - Well, only the guy whose car they hit.

Ray Gupta.

- Did he see anything? - Well, nothing useful.

Have you ID'd the bodies?

Luca Fandiño and Tomas Fuentes. Spanish nationals.

And, uh, and well-known YouTube stars, apparently.

- What was the name of their channel? - Live Life Now.

They fly around the world filming these crazy stunts.

His chute is still in its pack.

Who goes base jumping and doesn't pull their chute?

Well, Tomas pulled his. It was fully deployed.

He still hit the ground pretty hard.

- Maybe he pulled it too late? - Hmm...

No cameras?

Tomas wasn't wearing one, but Luca had a GoPro mounted to his helmet.

We're still accessing the footage.

And his wife filmed some of it.

Anna Michaud. Canadian.

(Anna) Luca's done this hundreds of times.

So has Tomas. But for them both to die? It doesn't make any sense.

- Did your husband pack his own chute? - Yes.

- And Tomas? - Yes. We always pack our own chutes.

We hadn't even been married for a year.

This shouldn't have happened.

What are the odds that two parachutes failed during the same jump?

I don't know. But those guys were pros.

Maybe they were just unlucky.

(Stephanie) I know how hard this must be for you, to come back here.

Do you believe me? About the drugs?

Yes, I believe you.

I'm sorry you had to go through all this.

No. I'm the one that should be sorry.

(Anna) How does it feel to live life in the moment?

In the present? In the now?

To do what you want to do every second, every minute, every day?

Life isn't a prison. You can choose to be free.

- It's up to you. Just take the leap. - Yee-haw!

I'm surprised it's taken them this long to come to grief.

Are you saying you don't take risks?

The last time I did, I discovered the guy lived on a boat... at anchor.

Not a good prospect.

Don't you think it's strange?

They'd done over 100 jumps each.

But one pulls his pilot chute too late, and the other doesn't pull at all?

- Pilot chute? - Yes.

Base jumpers don't use ripcords. They have pilot chutes.

It's just a small parachute they pull from their packs during free fall

that drags open the main chute.

Now, the building they jumped from was over 300 metres high.

Which would have given them about four seconds of free fall

before they had to pull their chutes. Plenty of time.

But Luca's was still in his pack. Why?

What stopped him from pulling?

Maybe he had a cardiac arrest when he jumped?

An aneurism, stroke?

That may explain one, but both?

(Pavich) Sorry to interrupt.

The Spanish embassy has given us the okay for the autopsy.

And Police Scientific?

They've checked both chutes, nothing wrong with them.

They said they were both packed correctly.

Sorry.

Well, cause of death won't take too long to pinpoint.

Why anyone would throw themselves off a building

expecting a flimsy piece of fabric to save them is beyond me.

You went skydiving in New Zealand though. You sent me that pic.

Yes, but that was completely different.

It was a tandem jump. My instructor had a lifetime's experience.

Why was that different?

Well, knowing that there was a man behind me who was that skilled

made my first time feel very... safe.

And very satisfying. Quite transformative, really.

Right, shall we get started?

Multiple and severe fractures to his neck, spine and limbs.

- This is interesting. - Hmm. Yes?

I was just about to complete the external and I saw this.

Skin lacerations. Both bodies are covered in them.

Yes, but this one isn't consistent with impact injury.

- This one looks more like-- - A rope burn.

- Friction abrasions, yes. - From what?

Perhaps he was trying to untangle his suspension line before he hit the ground.

Hmm. But at the accident scene, his suspension lines weren't tangled.

Hmm. Let's check the wound for fibres.

- Shall we start internals? - Yes.

- What do you make of this? - Mm-hmm.

- Dislocated vertebrae? - No, it's soft.

It looks like... a cyst.

Yes.

This is no ordinary cyst.

That is a larval cyst.

A larval cyst...

...of a tapeworm.

If the cyst was pressing on Luca's spinal cord,

it could have affected his motor functions.

It's a possibility.

Parasitic infections are known to cause nervous system disorders like seizures,

blindness, weakness in legs and hands.

Enough to stop him from pulling his chute?

Mmm. The million dollar question.

I'm gonna get this little guy off to the lab.

Ah, Grace. Are you heading out tonight or will you be staying in?

- I'm staying in tonight. - Ah.

- Is that okay? - Great. Lovely. Fine.

That's every night this week.

- Sorry? - Grace.

I said she could stay at mine until she finds a place.

- But...? - Well,

she's put a bit of a pin in the old love life.

You know how it is, Harrow. You head out, you meet a single lady...

a couple of Singapore Slings later

you invite her back to your apartment for a bit of...

- Please stop! - The walls in my apartment are paper thin.

- They're Shoji screens. - Exactly!

And I don't want Grace to think I'm some sort of insatiable Lothario.

But a man has urges, Harrow. Urges he cannot deny.

The sooner she's out from under my feet, the better.

So... when did you sleep with Grace?

What makes you think I've slept with Grace?

The night before she started.

And for the record, I didn't know she was working here.

Or that I was her supervisor. Or that she was Fairley's niece!

Oh, geez, triple whammy. Is it serious?

We've decided to keep things strictly professional.

Ah, yeah. Good luck with that.

Haven't you got something to sterilise?

Sorry.

(ominous music playing)

(phone ringing)

- (Harrow) Hey. How's Fern? - (Stephanie) She's not here.

She hasn't been here all afternoon.

And she stripped out her room.

Dan, what if she's with Callan? If they're caught together...

- (Harrow) Let me call her, okay? - Yeah.

Hi.

- Hi, bub. Where are you? - (Fern) I'm doing what my lawyer said.

Looking for a job. You checking up on me?

I got a call from your Mum. She's worried about you. So am I.

Why didn't you want me to stay on the Bettie with you?

- Look, I told you... - Yeah, but I'm not an idiot, Dad.

What's the real reason?

I don't know yet.

What's that mean? What's going on?

Dad?

Worm results are in.

Look, I've gotta go. Talk soon, okay?

You were right. Taenia Solium. The larva of a pork tapeworm.

Did the helminthologist say how long it was there?

Based on life-cycle, infection occurred two months ago.

Hmm... There are only three species of tapeworm that can infect humans.

And Taenia Solium can be found only in Latin America.

- Did Luca travel there recently? - Yes!

Yeah, I saw a video on their feed.

Look, Argentina. A month ago. They shot this just before they left.

- Hey, Guapo, are you ready to fly? - I'm always...

That explains where he picked up the tapeworm.

But we still don't know if it was causing problems with his motor functions.

We do now.

Hey, Anna...

He can't grip properly.

Move that sexy ass!

And look, his pilot chute is packed on the left.

Makes sense. If you're having trouble with your right hand,

- it'd be easier to grab on the left side. - Yes, but look...

...life now!

If Luca was having trouble with his right hand,

why did he pack his pilot chute on the right this morning?

- A tapeworm? - Mm-hmm. Pressing on his spinal cord.

We think it may have been causing problems with his hands.

Yeah, well, that'd explain a few things.

Okay, and this is the footage the wife shot from the rooftop.

(Tomas) Okay, I'll go first.

- (Luca) See you down there, man! - (Anna) Go for it, babe!

(Luca) Okay. Three, two, one.

(Tomas) No, no, no, no. Luca!

Tomas jumped after him.

So maybe he tried to grab Luca in mid-air,

and tried to use his own chute to save him.

Fairley did find an unusual cut on his hand.

Tomas said something in Spanish when Luca jumped.

I couldn't make it out. Can we turn up the volume?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - (Luca) See you down there, man.

(Anna) Go for it, babe!

- (Luca) Okay. Three, two, one. - (Tomas) Espera! Para!

Espera para. It means, "Wait, stop".

Tomas was trying to warn him.

He knew Luca's chute was packed on the wrong side.

Which means he knew about Luca's dodgy hand.

- Did his wife know too? - I had no idea.

Luca was right-handed.

- Is that correct? - Yes.

And he always packed his pilot chute on the right?

Yes.

But he'd been complaining about a sore shoulder when we were in Argentina,

so he started packing it on the left.

But this morning on the roof, it was packed on the right.

I don't get it.

If Luca was having problems, why didn't he tell me?

What?

Why would Tomas know about Luca's hand problem, and not his wife?

Jesus, Harrow.

I could give you a list a mile long of the things I didn't tell my ex-wife.

Hence the "ex".

Anyway, you've found your culprit, it's a bloody tapeworm!

Okay, Anna Michaud is leaving the country tomorrow night

and she wants to take the bodies with her, unless you have a good reason to stall?

- No. - Oh, well, then I'll close the case then.

Oh, hey, Harrow?

That call you got, I talked to the tech team about it.

Those internet messaging apps were encrypted. Untraceable.

So there's no way we can identify that number.

So, what am I supposed to do if he calls again?

Well, you don't pick up.

Like I said, it's probably just a nuisance caller.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- (Paul) Dan? - (Harrow) Paul. Hi.

- Summer cold? - No, it's just a flu I can't shake.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter.

I hope the trial goes well.

I hope you got yourself got a good solicitor.

Why?

Fern's got no criminal record, she's never been in any trouble.

At worst, we think it might be a suspended sentence.

Normally, yeah. But, Dan, this is a bad time to be caught with Fentanyl.

The courts are making examples.

Fern's looking at charges of theft, possession and intent to sell.

She could go to jail for seven years.

Seven years? Paul, she didn't do it.

I don't think that's going to matter, mate.

Unless you can prove someone else did.

I'm sorry.

Callan?

I know what you and Steph are thinking but I didn't steal those drugs.

- I would never do that to Fern. - I believe you.

Really?

I know how much you love Fern.

Yeah, I do.

Callan?

Where are you staying now that you've lost your flat?

Here you go.

I didn't know you could cook.

I didn't know you knew anything about me.

- It's delicious. - It's Fern's favourite.

- So who are those guys? - They're base jumpers.

Did one of them die or something?

Oh, shit! Sorry.

So, what are you looking for?

(clears throat)

This guy... had a problem with his right hand.

So I'm trawling through all these clips to find out

when he started using his left.

There's like 1,000 clips in here.

Yes. Which is why I think I might call it a night.

- But it's only nine o'clock. - It's been a very long day.

(Harrow) Don't drink my whiskey.

(snoring)

- Isn't this case closed? - Yes.

- Want to give me a hand? - You found something.

He's having trouble with his right hand. We know that.

Yes, but this video was shot in Madrid,

one month before Luca went to Argentina.

One month before the tapeworm infection.

- So the nerve damage to his spine... - Wasn't caused by the tapeworm.

- Then what caused it? - (phone ringing)

Mm-hmm. Hold that thought.

- Hola? Dr. Resende? - (Dr. Resende) Si.

I have the blood test you requested for my patient, Luca Fandiño.

Excellent. Could you send them to me please?

- Absolutely. - And can you confirm his CPK levels?

We found they were unusually high. Over 1,000 units per litre.

I found the same thing when he came to see me before he went travelling.

We did some tests and found that Luca was suffering from ALS.

I think you call it...

- Motor neurone disease. - Si.

MND is an idiopathic neurodegenerative disorder

that selectively affects motor neurons.

These control the body's effector organs

which carry out the nervous responses to external stimuli.

Anna, MND is a horrible disease...

that destroys the pathways that deliver messages from the brain to the muscles.

It starts with loss of muscle control,

then difficulties with breathing, then paralysis and death.

It's the reason Luca was having trouble with his right hand.

So his sore shoulder...?

Was just an excuse to hide his symptoms.

- He never told you about his diagnosis? - No.

And I know why.

Luca always said that...

if he couldn't live the way we lived, then he'd rather not live at all.

- You're saying it was deliberate? - I know my husband, Dr. Harrow.

To end up in a body that was failing him, needing constant care.

He wouldn't have wanted that.

He wouldn't have wanted me to go through that.

(Grace) You're thinking about Luca.

You're not convinced, are you?

If you were going to spare your wife the suffering of watching you die,

why would you jump off a building in front of her?

It doesn't make sense.

- Is that your gut talking? - Yeah.

The one that's been shot?

I've seen what motor neurone disease does to people.

I've seen patients live with it, and die with it.

And it's not just them who suffer, it's their families too.

They're the ones that have to nurse them to the end.

And if you had the choice,

- would you ever consider... - Yes. I would.

Anyway, looks like you solved the case. Impressive.

So, I'll see you tomorrow.

Dr. Resende? Soy Daniel Harrow.

I got your email and saw that Luca's wife, Anna Michaud,

- was listed as Luca's emergency contact. - (Dr. Resende) That's right.

Did she know about his diagnosis?

She was in the room when I gave Luca the results.

- Of course she knew. Why? - Because she said she didn't.

(Nichols) You've called Bryan Nichols. Please leave a message.

Bryan, it's Harrow. Anna Michaud lied to us.

Call me as soon as you can.

(ominous music playing)

Huh. This isn't a BMW. It says here you drive a BMW?

It's at the shop. I had a little accident.

Let me guess... you got hit by a base jumper?

I know you're a fan, Ray.

What do you want?

I want to see all the footage you have of them from your dash-cam.

(Anna) You're gonna wait for us, right?

- Drive us back to the hotel? - Don't worry. I'll wait.

(Luca) This is the building.

Tomas and I will try the fire escape. Take this.

See you down there.

- That's all there is. - Wait!

(ominous music playing)

(phone ringing)

Hi.

- It was Anna Michaud. - (Grace) What?

She swapped the chute!

Where are you?

I'm on my way to Anna. She's on the roof of the building.

- Daniel... - Tell Nichols to meet me there.

Harrow?

I know many of you have been asking

what will happen now that Luca and Tomas are gone.

This Live Life Now will continue.

I will keep their vision alive

and strive for the best life I can live.

Better now that you don't have to nurse a husband with motor neurone disease.

You lied, Anna.

You knew Luca had MND.

You knew what was ahead.

Years of pain, watching him fade away, trapped in a body that was dying.

And you'd be trapped too, no longer able to live the life you love.

The life he promised you.

So you swapped his pilot chute.

You wanted him to die.

How did it feel?

- (Harrow) To say goodbye? - I love you.

To stand here and watch your husband leap to his death.

But you weren't expecting Tomas to jump after him.

- (Luca) Okay. I'll go first. - See you down there, man.

Go for it, babe!

(Harrow) He saw that Luca's pilot chute was packed on the wrong side.

- Espera! Para! - He even tried to warn him.

But it was too late. So you killed him too.

- That wasn't my fault. - Yes, it was.

And you're going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.

No. I won't.

- Anna, what are you doing? - Seven seconds, doctor.

- That's all it takes. - No, no, no, no!

Don't do this! Anna!

- Please... please. - Stay away from me!

Anna, please.

- I can't go to jail! I won't! - This isn't the answer!

(Harrow) Hold on!

(grunting)

It's okay. It's okay.

- It's okay, I've got you. - Thank you.

Anna! Please don't! Please!

- I'm sorry, doctor. - No... No!

(Grace) Hey!

Need a hand?

Before I ask you any questions,

I must advise you that you have the right to remain silent.

- She almost had me fooled. - Hmm.

- I was this close to believing her. - I did believe her.

Maybe that gut of yours is worth listening to?

- You... you busted your stitches. - Ah, it's nothing.

- I'll get an ambo to take a look at it. - It's fine. I'll patch it up at home.

You call yourself a surgeon?

Just shut up and keep drinking.

Is there anything stronger?

When you leave the building, the safety net disappears.

You said that, remember?

- You could've died. - But I didn't, thanks to you.

And we found the truth.

(thunder rumbles)

I thought I'd find you here.

- You don't think I did it. - No, I don't.

I think someone did this to you to get to me.

Why?

Because I love you, and they want to hurt me.

- Do you know who? - I have no idea.

But I'm going to find out.

(ominous music playing)

(Pavich) Someone has a sense of humour. Mr Lincoln roses.

(Brendan) Because I was shot, too.

(knocking)

- Is Bryan here? - What, no. He's asleep.

Why? What's that?

Do you remember these bodies? They were brought into the morgue 15 years ago.

She'd been violently strangled and he'd been shot multiple times by this man.

Francis Chester.

There was a string of murders just like this one, all linked to him.

Yes, yes, I remember. Why... why are you looking at this?

Because I believe that he was the man who shot me.

Look.

Mr Lincoln roses. Do you remember?

When I was at the hospital, someone sent me the same roses.

There was no name on the card.

- But it had to be Chester. - Harrow...

Don't you get it? I put him away for these murders 15 years ago.

- And now he wants to get his own. - Harrow...

Could he have got out?

- I mean, did he appeal his sentence? - Daniel!

It can't have been Francis Chester.

- Why? Is he still in jail? - No, no. He's dead.

He died... in a prison fire six months ago.
