3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,919
G'day, Sarge.
Boys.
4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,119
It's been a while.
Yeah, too long.
5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Thought you were
community liaison these days.
6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,639
I am. This is my patch.
7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,799
Should be able to wrap
this one up pretty quickly.
8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,959
DUNCAN: What have you got?
Suicide.
9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,928
The world's a better place for it.
10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,159
Rodney Gerald Barrett.
11
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,560
The Wattle Grove arsonist. That fire
last week was near here, wasn't it?
12
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:38,959
A couple of blocks away.
13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,360
This guy was on TV last night. They
accused him of starting the fire.
14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,920
Five people died including
two young kids and their mum.
15
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,479
This is the mongrel
they reckon started it.
16
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,479
Either his conscience
finally got the better of him
17
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:51,279
or he realised his time
was running out.
18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Who found him?
A local resident walking her dog.
19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,879
We've taken a statement.
DUNCAN: Serious head wound.
20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,199
I reckon he hit it on that
as he dropped.
21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,239
Possible, but unlikely.
MATT: Why?
22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,959
The force of the impact...
23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,319
I wouldn't be touching that
if I were you, Senior Sergeant.
24
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:06,359
I didn't touch it.
I know the procedures.
25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,760
..and judging by the shape
of the indentation.
26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,719
Time of death, Gideon?
What do you reckon?
27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Well, it was cold last night
so somewhere between 2am and 4am.
28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,680
There's something here,
in his throat.
29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,400
What?
MATT: What is that?
30
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,210
GIDEON: I'm not sure.
31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,328
It's a slippery little sucker.
32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,319
Box of matches.
33
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:35,529
I reckon that blows your
suicide theory, hey, Sparkesy?
34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,160
So...somebody topped the arsonist.
35
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,719
Gonna be
a truckload of suspects.
36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,120
Barrett had an apartment
in the building that was destroyed.
37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Yeah, Wattle Grove Apartments.
38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,200
'60s brick.
Aussie architecture's finest hour.
39
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,879
Yeah.
40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,280
Apparently he'd been staying in a
motel opposite where we was found.
41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,879
Crime Scene are there now.
42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,159
Nothing from door knocks.
Yeah, of course not.
43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Now, Arson still haven't
charged him. Why not?
44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,280
It was only a matter of time,
from what I hear.
45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,319
Hey, Frostie.
46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,279
Thanks, mate. That's all good.
Thanks, boss.
47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,479
You know Wilton Sparkes
is a community copper out there?
48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Yeah, I heard he was
at the crime scene.
49
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,679
You hear he was also
at the scene of the fire?
50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,799
No, I didn't.
He probably earned himself a citation.
51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,479
Dragged an old lady out.
52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880
I hear he's a bit of
a local hero, our Sparkesy.
53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,360
See, the thing is he knows these
people, he knows how they think.
54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080
They trust him.
And...?
55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,279
I want him on the case.
Oh. No.
56
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,680
Thank you very much,
but we've got a full team on this.
57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,319
A fresh set of eyes never hurt.
58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,720
A bit too close to the people
on the ground, don't you think?
59
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,719
I think that gives him
a unique perspective.
60
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,559
See, Sparkesy's old school.
61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,599
Old school's good school.
it's the one I went to.
62
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,843
No, believe me, I think he'd be
of great assistance on this case.
63
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:48,399
I'll think about it.
64
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,688
It's a done deal, Stanley.
Sparkesy's on his way over now.
65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,159
So we get there,
66
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,560
and Sparkesy's strutting around like
he owns the place. "This is my patch."
67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,799
He's going on about
how Barrett's an arsonist
68
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,919
and he did the world a favour
by topping himself.
69
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,519
Should have seen the look on his face
70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,879
when Gideon pulled the box of matches
out of Barrett's throat.
71
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,559
Dunny gives him the stare, you know,
72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,919
"Guess that just blew your
suicide theory, Sparkesy."
73
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,519
It was classic!
74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Sarge, just finishing a briefing.
Go right ahead.
75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Senior Sergeant Sparkes will be
joining us on this investigation.
76
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,999
As it is, Wilton, you know everyone.
77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,159
How could I forget
such an ugly-looking mob?
78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Detective Mapplethorpe
excepted, of course.
79
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,119
NICK: How are you, Sarge?
Any better, I'd be dangerous.
80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,719
It's been a while.
Yeah.
81
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,599
I don't think you know Allie Kingston.
82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,602
Hi.
Nice to meet you, love.
83
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,159
So where are we, Ryan?
MATT: Wattle Grove Apartments.
84
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,039
Ah, yeah, my patch.
85
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Well, five people killed.
86
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Jack and Sophie Besser,
their mum Stephanie,
87
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,399
Frank Cooney, Riley Flynn.
88
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,759
Bloody heartbreaking.
The Arson Squad are still investigating.
89
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,679
But the media
and most of the population
90
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,080
have already tried and convicted
this man, Rodney Gerald Barrett.
91
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,719
With good cause, I might say.
92
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,199
Somewhere between
2:00 and 4:00 this morning,
93
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,679
someone's whacked him over the head,
94
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
strung him up and shoved a box
of matches down his throat.
95
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,319
Subtle.
96
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,720
This is the interview with Barrett
that aired early last night.
97
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,119
Rod, the fire started
in your apartment.
98
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,520
I emphatically deny having
anything to do with that fire.
99
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,479
Sources within the fire brigade
100
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,880
confirm that petrol was
found in your apartment.
101
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Well, I don't know
anything about that.
102
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120
You don't?
No. I didn't start that fire.
103
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,799
That's not what the other
residents believe.
104
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,519
Oh, Wally Chubb.
105
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,920
Wally Chubb -the chairman
of the owners' corporation?
106
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,839
Why would he believe
you started the fire?
107
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,639
Well...he'd blame me for anything.
108
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,359
He just wanted me
out of the building.
109
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Why would he want you out?
110
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,560
Wally Chubb kept putting up
the owners' corp fees
111
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,999
and spending nothing on
the maintenance of the place,
112
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,719
and he knew I was onto him.
113
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Isn't it true you threatened
to "make him pay"?
114
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,720
Well...no. I was angry.
I was blowing off a bit of steam.
115
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,279
I wasn't gonna do anything.
116
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:57,999
Rod, where were you
when the fire started?
117
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,599
At the movies.
Alone?
118
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,839
Yes.
So you don't have an alibi?
119
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,319
Yes, I was at the movies.
120
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,720
This isn't the first time you've
been in trouble with the law, is it?
121
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,759
What?
122
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,119
In fact, you've done
jail time, haven't you?
123
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,879
You killed your wife.
124
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,280
You (BLEEP!) reporters,
you're all the (BLEEP!) same!
125
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,840
Don't walk away...
You're a pack of whores! (BLEEP!)
126
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,650
Get the... (BLEEP!)
127
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Is that right-
he's done time for murder?
128
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,279
Culpable driving.
Did three years in Ararat.
129
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,680
Got drunk, smashed his car
and killed his wife.
130
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,559
When was that?
Oh, eight years ago.
131
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,960
He still wore his wedding ring.
It was among his personal effects.
132
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,680
If Arson liked him for it,
why wasn't he charged?
133
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,279
Buggered if I know. He did it.
134
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,680
(GROANS)
He was top of their list.
135
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,760
They're trying to clear up
a few inconsistencies.
136
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Like...?
137
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560
It's all there in the box -
everything Arson have on the fire.
138
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
I want you to go through it all,
familiarise yourselves.
139
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,879
Remember -they were
looking for an arsonist.
140
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,599
We are now looking for a murderer.
141
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,519
JENNIFER: So anyone
who lost a friend or relative
142
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,079
would have to be a prime suspect.
143
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,480
NICK: Sarge, you know these people.
Who do you reckon's most likely?
144
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,119
I don't reckon any of them
are capable of murder.
145
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,799
Ah, sweet! Case closed already.
146
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,200
Revenge is a pretty powerful motive.
147
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,399
Anybody's capable of murder.
148
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800
I used to think that once too, love.
Don't call me 'love'.
149
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,119
You prefer 'darling'
or 'sweetheart'?
150
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,719
Yeah, yeah, that's enough.
151
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,120
Barrett accuses this bloke,
Wally Chubb.
152
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,919
Let's bring him in for a chat.
153
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,003
Allow me. I know where
we'll find him. Who's with me?
154
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,999
No way. You're joking.
155
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,479
Senior Sergeant Sparkes
156
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,439
will be teamed with you
on this investigation.
157
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,840
I'm not doing it.
it's an order, Detective.
158
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,840
Come on. Duncan and Matt don't
rate him so you dump him with me.
159
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400
How's that fair?
No-one is dumping anyone on anybody.
160
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
What about Nick? They're a much
better fit. Don't you reckon?
161
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Detective Buchanan
is otherwise engaged.
162
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,039
Doing phone and financial records.
163
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,440
I'm happy to swap.
Not your call, Detective.
164
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Anyway, there's all these files
Arson have sent over.
165
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,879
I'm not fully up to speed, so...
166
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,280
You better get up to speed because
you're gonna talk to Wally Chubb.
167
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Sarge, please. I do not need Sparkes
sitting in on that interview.
168
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,559
You just said you were not
fully across this.
169
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Well, I Will be.
170
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Senior Sergeant Sparkes
is an experienced investigator.
171
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,440
You should treat this
as a great opportunity.
172
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,679
Great.
173
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,524
Yeah. That's all, Detective.
174
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,726
(MUTTERS) Great.
175
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,920
Bowls is a game of skill, you see,
Kingston? Often underrated.
176
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,239
It's an old man's game.
Well, I play it.
177
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Hey, Sparkesy, nice bag of fruit.
Yeah, thanks, Baz.
178
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,079
No, they got a good bistro,
social club.
179
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480
My little lady loves it here.
MAN: Sparkesy!
180
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,999
Here's Wal. I'll handle this.
181
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
I'll just stay three steps behind.
Yeah, good, good.
182
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,079
G'day, Wal.
Sparkesy.
183
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,359
Is it true the bastard
topped himself?
184
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,679
Well, yes and no. He's dead,
but it wasn't suicide.
185
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Bugger me. You know who did it?
186
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,799
No, not yet.
187
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,200
When you get him,
he should get a bloody medal.
188
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,360
Who's your girlfriend?
Wal, this is Detective Kingston.
189
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
G'day. Guess I can't
shout you a cold one? A shandy?
190
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Mr Chubb, we'd like you to come
with us to answer some questions.
191
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,319
Hey?
it's a murder investigation, Wal.
192
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,324
They gotta talk to everyone
who knew Barrett. it's just routine.
193
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,399
I should be in there, Stan.
194
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
You're a bit too close to it, Wil.
Let the team do him.
195
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640
Rod Barrett was an out-and-out
ratbag and troublemaker.
196
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
He threatened me and he threatened
to burn down the building.
197
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400
We have the statement you made
to the Arson detectives.
198
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,360
That threat was over some
unauthorised renovations
199
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,999
to his apartment
200
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,400
and Barrett's refusal to pay
his owners' corporation fees.
201
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,840
That's right. The bloke thought
he was a law unto himself.
202
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,319
Well, our building
doesn't run that way.
203
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,799
As head of the owners' corporation,
204
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,279
you're the law
in the building, right?
205
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,239
There are rules.
206
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,359
Your loss in the fire
was substantial.
207
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Nothing compared to
the loss of life.
208
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,959
Five people are dead
due to that man.
209
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Did you have anything to do
with the death of Rod Barrett?
210
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Of course not! Barrett's
bigger and stronger than me.
211
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880
He was hit on the head with what
we now believe to be a lump hammer.
212
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,439
ALLIE: Do you own a lump hammer...
213
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
The Pathology report came through
while you were picking him up.
214
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,443
I don't even know
what a lump hammer is.
215
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,079
No.
216
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,879
You're wasting our time.
He's not the killer.
217
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,199
MATT: It wasn't the blow
with the hammer that killed him.
218
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,279
He was still alive
when he was strung up.
219
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,879
He was lynched.
Huh.
220
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,079
The Wild West
comes to Northcote, hey?
221
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,289
Well, what do you expect me to say?
222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,919
Oh, jeez.
223
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,039
Where were you in the early hours
of this morning?
224
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,959
In bed asleep.
225
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,639
Alone?
Yes.
226
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,040
The wife's staying with
her sister since the fire.
227
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,719
In your previous statement,
228
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120
you said you were sharing
an apartment in Kellett Street
229
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,999
with your son Mitch.
230
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,400
That's right.
Was Mitch at the unit last night?
231
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,639
Not when I went to bed.
232
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,959
Any idea of where he was?
What time he got home?
233
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,519
He's over 21 years old.
234
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920
He's not in the habit of asking
my permission or lodging a report.
235
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,928
Look, I didn't kill anybody
and I don't know who did.
236
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520
Oh, mate, these two are
a couple of pit bulls.
237
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,599
They don't hold back.
238
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,399
Oh, their bark's
worse than their bite.
239
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,800
Just doing their job, right, Ryan?
MATT: Right.
240
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,359
You've got nothing to worry about.
That's a relief to hear.
241
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,639
Just being in there
makes a bloke feel guilty.
242
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,040
The constable will arrange a lift home,
back to the club, whatever you like.
243
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,609
Thanks, mate. Talk to you soon.
Will do.
244
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,120
Yep, that's good, that is.
What?
245
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Well, you being his best buddy
doesn't actually help us.
246
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,759
What are you talking about?
He's got no alibi.
247
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,160
Well, who does? 2:00 in the morning,
they'll all be in bed asleep.
248
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,000
But Chubb is the one Barrett
virtually accused on national TV
249
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,879
and hours later, Barrett's dead.
250
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,999
That's a motive.
Three things.
251
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,199
One, Wally didn't
frame him for that fire.
252
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,239
Two, Barrett was
talking out his arse.
253
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,559
Three, we've got to do
a lot better than this
254
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,847
if we're gonna
catch ourselves a killer.
255
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,406
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Sarge, it's not working out.
256
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,640
I assume you're referring
to Senior Sergeant Sparkes.
257
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,359
He's impossible.
258
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,919
There is no requirement
in the regulations
259
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320
that states that you
have to be compatible.
260
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,599
You need to be more specific.
261
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,279
He's way too close, Sarge.
262
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,680
Matt and I go hard on Wally Chubb
and when we're finished,
263
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,439
Senior Sergeant Sparkes tells him,
264
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,205
"Mate, you've got nothing
to worry about."
265
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,560
OK, your objections have been noted.
266
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,006
He's a sexist old dinosaur.
I thought the force had moved on.
267
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,880
Senior Sergeant Sparkes has been
assigned to this investigation.
268
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,359
His position on it
is more secure than yours.
269
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,807
If I was you, I'd get back out there
and make it work.
270
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,320
Hey, we got a minute before
we go and talk to Mitch Chubb.
271
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,525
You wanna make us a cuppa?
I'd rather eat rat poison.
272
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Why do I get the feeling
you have a problem with me?
273
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,879
I don't know.
You're probably psychic.
274
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,399
You need to get a grip.
275
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,800
You need to get your hand off it.
Hey, hey!
276
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,450
You're forgetting rank here,
sweetheart.
277
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,042
You don't remember me at all, do you?
Should I?
278
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,887
(SCOFFS) Yeah.
279
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,727
I'll make my own tea then, will I?
280
00:12:27,755 --> 00:12:30,155
I was at the bowls club with
Len Besser. It was Dad's idea.
281
00:12:31,435 --> 00:12:33,835
Yeah, Wally takes care of everybody.
Just his nature.
282
00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:36,154
We knew the interview with Barrett
was gonna be on TV.
283
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:38,555
Dad was worried about
how Len would take it.
284
00:12:38,755 --> 00:12:40,474
Why you and not your dad?
285
00:12:40,475 --> 00:12:42,875
Dad spent a long time with Len since
the fire - he's a bit battle fatigued.
286
00:12:43,355 --> 00:12:45,755
And Len's in a bad way.
What do you mean?
287
00:12:45,835 --> 00:12:47,914
Well, he's lost his whole family,
wife and two kids.
288
00:12:47,915 --> 00:12:49,954
He's shattered.
He's drunk most of the time.
289
00:12:49,955 --> 00:12:51,914
It's hardcore being with him.
290
00:12:51,915 --> 00:12:54,315
And after the club closed?
291
00:12:54,515 --> 00:12:56,915
We took a slab and some Bundy
back to his van.
292
00:12:57,835 --> 00:13:00,235
He's staying in a caravan
out the back of the Cooney place.
293
00:13:00,315 --> 00:13:01,794
Old Frank Cooney died in the fire.
Yep.
294
00:13:01,795 --> 00:13:03,834
His grandson Rhys lives in the house.
Thank you, Sarge.
295
00:13:03,835 --> 00:13:06,235
We polished most of the Bundy off
and he passed out and I went home.
296
00:13:08,595 --> 00:13:10,114
And what time was that?
297
00:13:10,115 --> 00:13:12,515
Um, some time after midnight.
298
00:13:13,115 --> 00:13:15,514
About 2:00?
Closer to 1:00.
299
00:13:15,515 --> 00:13:17,915
OK, you do know that Rod Barrett
was murdered last night?
300
00:13:18,395 --> 00:13:21,558
Yeah. He got what he deserved, hey?
301
00:13:22,915 --> 00:13:24,394
Yeah, he did.
302
00:13:24,395 --> 00:13:26,474
You sure you didn't decide
to pay him a visit?
303
00:13:26,475 --> 00:13:28,034
No.
You own a lump hammer?
304
00:13:28,035 --> 00:13:29,560
No.
305
00:13:32,675 --> 00:13:34,474
How are the studies going, Mitch?
306
00:13:34,475 --> 00:13:36,875
I lost my computer
and half a term's work in the fire.
307
00:13:37,715 --> 00:13:40,074
What is it you study?
A bachelor of business studies.
308
00:13:40,075 --> 00:13:42,475
You were best mates
with Riley Flynn, right?
309
00:13:42,995 --> 00:13:45,395
He died in the fire.
it's his funeral today in Adelaide.
310
00:13:45,915 --> 00:13:48,314
Serena Flynn's son. Yeah, I know.
311
00:13:48,315 --> 00:13:49,914
I saw him the night of the fire.
312
00:13:49,915 --> 00:13:52,315
We made plans to go
to the footy last weekend.
313
00:13:52,675 --> 00:13:54,794
I can't believe he's dead.
314
00:13:54,795 --> 00:13:56,714
The fire should never have happened.
No.
315
00:13:56,715 --> 00:13:58,674
But it did and so did the murder.
316
00:13:58,675 --> 00:14:01,034
Mitch, it's in your best interest
to tell us the truth.
317
00:14:01,035 --> 00:14:02,674
Lying's only gonna make things worse.
318
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,914
Did you kill Rod Barrett?
319
00:14:04,915 --> 00:14:08,920
No, I didn't. I swear I didn't.
320
00:14:12,275 --> 00:14:14,074
Yeah, fire's a horrible death.
321
00:14:14,075 --> 00:14:16,034
My grandad didn't
deserve to go like that.
322
00:14:16,035 --> 00:14:17,754
No, none of them did.
No.
323
00:14:17,755 --> 00:14:19,394
ALLIE: This your parents' place?
324
00:14:19,395 --> 00:14:21,795
Yeah, they're stuck overseas.
Dad's in hospital, broke his leg.
325
00:14:22,515 --> 00:14:24,915
Look, I, uh...l told the other
detectives everything I know.
326
00:14:25,395 --> 00:14:26,874
They're Arson. We're Homicide.
327
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:28,954
SPARKES: We're investigating
the murder of Rod Barrett.
328
00:14:28,955 --> 00:14:30,594
Do you blame him for the fire?
329
00:14:30,595 --> 00:14:32,995
Well, they found petrol
in his apartment.
330
00:14:33,195 --> 00:14:35,274
Where were you late last night, Rhys?
331
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:37,634
Uh, here. I was on the computer
till about midnight.
332
00:14:37,635 --> 00:14:39,274
SPARKES: Can anyone confirm that?
333
00:14:39,275 --> 00:14:41,354
Yeah, my parents.
I was Skyping them.
334
00:14:41,355 --> 00:14:43,674
So I guess there's a record of that.
335
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,394
And after that?
336
00:14:45,395 --> 00:14:47,795
Uh, in bed. I'm a tradie. I start early.
337
00:14:48,395 --> 00:14:50,795
That a lump hammer?
Yeah.
338
00:14:51,315 --> 00:14:53,715
Mind if I borrow it?
Why?
339
00:14:53,795 --> 00:14:56,195
Rod Barrett was struck on the head
with a similar object.
340
00:14:58,435 --> 00:15:00,835
So does this mean
I'm a suspect or something?
341
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:03,675
At this stage, son,
I'm afraid everyone's a suspect.
342
00:15:03,835 --> 00:15:06,034
The best thing you can do
is cooperate.
343
00:15:06,035 --> 00:15:08,435
Is Len home?
Uh, yeah.
344
00:15:08,635 --> 00:15:10,954
I think he's here. His car's here.
345
00:15:10,955 --> 00:15:12,994
I might go and have a chat.
346
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:15,395
That's who we're here to see.
You can come with me if you like.
347
00:15:16,235 --> 00:15:18,203
Thank you.
Thanks.
348
00:15:23,635 --> 00:15:25,994
G'day, Len.
349
00:15:25,995 --> 00:15:27,874
This is Detective Kingston.
350
00:15:27,875 --> 00:15:30,275
Sorry, but we need to ask you
a few questions about Rod Barrett.
351
00:15:31,475 --> 00:15:33,834
ALLIE: Where were you
late last night?
352
00:15:33,835 --> 00:15:35,314
At the bowls club.
353
00:15:35,315 --> 00:15:36,994
And after that?
354
00:15:36,995 --> 00:15:39,395
Here with Mitch Chubb.
355
00:15:39,755 --> 00:15:42,155
I can't sleep so I drink
until I pass out.
356
00:15:42,395 --> 00:15:44,477
How late did you go last night, Len?
357
00:15:45,515 --> 00:15:49,042
I don't know. I don't
keep track of time anymore.
358
00:15:52,195 --> 00:15:53,834
Do you blame Rod Barrett
for what happened?
359
00:15:53,835 --> 00:15:55,394
What do you reckon?
Of course he does.
360
00:15:55,395 --> 00:15:56,635
Thanks, Sarge.
361
00:15:57,915 --> 00:16:00,077
Do you blame Rod, Mr Besser?
362
00:16:01,075 --> 00:16:02,884
Yeah, I did.
363
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:06,276
But hating never
did anybody any good.
364
00:16:07,835 --> 00:16:10,918
It can't bring them back.
365
00:16:12,035 --> 00:16:14,515
Sorry for your loss, Mr Besser.
366
00:16:15,515 --> 00:16:17,483
You're what?
Sorry for your loss.
367
00:16:23,635 --> 00:16:25,399
Is that what they teach you to say?
368
00:16:27,195 --> 00:16:29,118
My 'loss'?
369
00:16:34,315 --> 00:16:36,194
I've got nothing more to say to you.
370
00:16:36,195 --> 00:16:39,085
You may have nothing more to say...
Thanks, mate. That's fine.
371
00:16:43,675 --> 00:16:45,674
ALLIE: Next time you decide
we're finished with a suspect,
372
00:16:45,675 --> 00:16:47,154
can you give me a heads-up?
373
00:16:47,155 --> 00:16:48,634
Since when is he a suspect?
374
00:16:48,635 --> 00:16:50,714
He's not in the clear,
not by a long shot.
375
00:16:50,715 --> 00:16:53,115
Yeah, well, he didn't do it.
Sarge, he's got motive.
376
00:16:53,235 --> 00:16:55,635
Everyone's got motive. He was
drinking heavily till he passed out.
377
00:16:56,235 --> 00:16:57,914
Mitch Chubb was there.
He's got an alibi.
378
00:16:57,915 --> 00:16:59,554
Sarge...
How about we show a bit of compassion.
379
00:16:59,555 --> 00:17:01,034
I think there's a difference
380
00:17:01,035 --> 00:17:02,994
between compassion and being
too emotionally involved.
381
00:17:02,995 --> 00:17:05,395
Which I can't imagine was ever
a big problem with you, sweetheart.
382
00:17:05,555 --> 00:17:07,034
You don't know anything about me!
383
00:17:07,035 --> 00:17:08,754
I thought I was meant
to remember you.
384
00:17:08,755 --> 00:17:10,245
Oh, forget it.
385
00:17:12,835 --> 00:17:15,235
Hey, Allie, we're knocking off.
Yeah, you coming?
386
00:17:15,755 --> 00:17:17,514
I'm gonna get into these Arson files.
387
00:17:17,515 --> 00:17:19,754
Either that or I'm gonna
break someone's neck.
388
00:17:19,755 --> 00:17:22,155
BOTH: Sparkesy?
"Mate! Love! Sweetheart!"
389
00:17:22,795 --> 00:17:24,754
JENNIFER: He's not too bad.
DUNCAN: No, he's worse.
390
00:17:24,755 --> 00:17:26,234
Duncan, Allie's gotta work with him.
391
00:17:26,235 --> 00:17:27,914
And you always see
the good in everyone.
392
00:17:27,915 --> 00:17:29,834
He's a Neanderthal who should've
stayed in his cave.
393
00:17:29,835 --> 00:17:32,235
I have never felt more like kicking
a guy in the balls than right now.
394
00:17:32,995 --> 00:17:34,794
I'm just leaving.
SPARKES: And I'm just arriving.
395
00:17:34,795 --> 00:17:37,195
There's your guy.
Ready to get stuck into this paper.
396
00:17:37,475 --> 00:17:39,875
JENNIFER: We'll leave you to it.
Good day today. Allie fill you in?
397
00:17:40,115 --> 00:17:41,958
Yeah, yeah, we're up to speed.
398
00:17:44,155 --> 00:17:46,555
So you drew the short straw.
Yep.
399
00:17:47,275 --> 00:17:49,234
You got a problem with it?
Nope.
400
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:51,635
Good. Me neither.
What are you up to?
401
00:17:51,915 --> 00:17:53,394
Going through these Arson files
402
00:17:53,395 --> 00:17:55,594
Highlighting anything
pertaining to Barrett.
403
00:17:55,595 --> 00:17:57,154
Sounds like a plan.
404
00:17:57,155 --> 00:17:59,555
You're going home, I suppose,
to the little woman?
405
00:17:59,715 --> 00:18:02,115
No, not yet. Thought
I'd start casting a wider net.
406
00:18:02,675 --> 00:18:05,075
Barrett said he got death threats
after he was outed by the press.
407
00:18:05,315 --> 00:18:06,794
Maybe one of them followed through.
408
00:18:06,795 --> 00:18:08,914
Oh, while you're up,
I'd kill for a cuppa.
409
00:18:08,915 --> 00:18:10,794
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
410
00:18:10,795 --> 00:18:12,514
My wife.
411
00:18:12,515 --> 00:18:14,034
Hey, Carol.
Poor bitch.
412
00:18:14,035 --> 00:18:16,435
White with three, thanks, love.
My new partner.
413
00:18:16,835 --> 00:18:19,122
Nah, it's all going very well. Yeah.
414
00:18:23,475 --> 00:18:25,875
(INHALES) Yeah.
what?
415
00:18:27,115 --> 00:18:28,594
Over a hundred witness statements.
416
00:18:28,595 --> 00:18:30,714
No-one can positively
place Barrett at the scene
417
00:18:30,715 --> 00:18:32,594
till after he got
home from the movies.
418
00:18:32,595 --> 00:18:34,194
'Cause he made sure he wasn't seen.
419
00:18:34,195 --> 00:18:35,834
You were there.
Do you remember seeing him?
420
00:18:35,835 --> 00:18:37,914
There was a burning building
with people trapped inside.
421
00:18:37,915 --> 00:18:40,274
That was my focus.
Yeah, OK, fair enough.
422
00:18:40,275 --> 00:18:42,314
The use of accelerant
doesn't sit right either.
423
00:18:42,315 --> 00:18:43,634
Why not?
it's too obvious.
424
00:18:43,635 --> 00:18:45,954
Never discount the obvious -
generally the truth.
425
00:18:45,955 --> 00:18:48,355
Heater under the curtains,
chips on the stove, toaster -
426
00:18:48,515 --> 00:18:50,874
anything like that could've
passed off as an accident easily.
427
00:18:50,875 --> 00:18:53,275
Yeah, but they don't
guarantee maximum destruction.
428
00:18:53,515 --> 00:18:55,915
Barrett wanted to stick it up Wally Chubb
and the owners' corporation.
429
00:18:56,795 --> 00:18:58,834
And you're 100% sure about that?
You're not convinced?
430
00:18:58,835 --> 00:19:01,235
No. Box office chick at the cinema
said Barrett looked familiar.
431
00:19:01,475 --> 00:19:03,274
There were 73 people
at that screening.
432
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:04,834
She couldn't be sure either way.
433
00:19:04,835 --> 00:19:06,834
OK, so why give yourself
such a weak alibi?
434
00:19:06,835 --> 00:19:09,235
And Arson haven't found any evidence
of a timer, which he must have used.
435
00:19:09,915 --> 00:19:11,394
Might have been
destroyed in the fire.
436
00:19:11,395 --> 00:19:12,874
But there was no hot spot,
437
00:19:12,875 --> 00:19:14,794
meaning that the fire
could've started some other way
438
00:19:14,795 --> 00:19:16,754
and then the petrol been
splashed around afterwards.
439
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:19,155
Love, you're grasping at straws.
Can you not call me 'love'?!
440
00:19:20,155 --> 00:19:22,434
It's demeaning.
it's a term of affection.
441
00:19:22,435 --> 00:19:24,835
Not from you. And if I'm grasping
at straws, I'm not the only one.
442
00:19:25,235 --> 00:19:27,283
That's why Arson hadn't charged him.
443
00:19:28,275 --> 00:19:30,675
Alright, whoever or whatever
started the fire is Arson's problem.
444
00:19:31,475 --> 00:19:33,314
We need to focus
on who killed Rod Barrett.
445
00:19:33,315 --> 00:19:35,714
Now, I've got three new candidates -
446
00:19:35,715 --> 00:19:38,115
Bruce Young, Colin Henderson,
Guido Salvatore.
447
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:42,074
All have form for assault
or criminal violence.
448
00:19:42,075 --> 00:19:43,874
All previously lost
loved ones in fires.
449
00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:46,275
They'd jump at the chance
to kill an arsonist.
450
00:19:46,315 --> 00:19:48,715
Also, Henderson was in Ararat
at the same time as Barrett.
451
00:19:49,635 --> 00:19:51,114
OK, so where are they now?
452
00:19:51,115 --> 00:19:53,515
According to the files, Young's
in NSW, the other two are local.
453
00:19:53,675 --> 00:19:56,326
OK, good. What are we waiting for?
454
00:20:01,795 --> 00:20:04,195
Morning. You two
car-pooling already?
455
00:20:04,595 --> 00:20:06,514
We've been on a wild goose chase.
456
00:20:06,515 --> 00:20:08,634
I'll admit it's not
the result we were looking for.
457
00:20:08,635 --> 00:20:11,035
Sarge pulled the files
on three possible suspects.
458
00:20:11,155 --> 00:20:13,234
More suspects?
Casting a wider net.
459
00:20:13,235 --> 00:20:14,834
And...?
One's in a wheelchair.
460
00:20:14,835 --> 00:20:16,314
The other one's in a coffin.
461
00:20:16,315 --> 00:20:18,715
Bruce Young's still a possibility if
he's back from NSW.
462
00:20:19,275 --> 00:20:21,675
NICK: Bruce Christopher Young?
Yeah.
463
00:20:22,075 --> 00:20:24,194
A Detective Monaghan
from Sydney CIB called.
464
00:20:24,195 --> 00:20:26,595
Young's doing 10-15
in Long Bay for armed robbery.
465
00:20:26,755 --> 00:20:28,994
(BOTH GROAN)
466
00:20:28,995 --> 00:20:31,395
I need a coffee.
Yeah, white with three, thanks.
467
00:20:31,595 --> 00:20:33,995
Coffee can wait. Serena Flynn's
in the statement room downstairs.
468
00:20:34,715 --> 00:20:36,194
She back from the funeral?
469
00:20:36,195 --> 00:20:38,595
Jen and I will take this one!
Oh!
470
00:20:38,675 --> 00:20:41,075
WOMAN: We were woken by the sound
of breaking glass and yelling.
471
00:20:42,755 --> 00:20:45,155
You could smell the smoke
straightaway, you know?
472
00:20:45,275 --> 00:20:46,794
ALLIE: And then what happened?
473
00:20:46,795 --> 00:20:49,685
I grabbed a few belongings and ran.
474
00:20:51,155 --> 00:20:53,555
We were outside when someone said,
"Frank Cooney's still in there."
475
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:59,155
No chance of him
getting out on his own so...
476
00:21:00,444 --> 00:21:02,843
..Riley went back in to get him.
477
00:21:02,844 --> 00:21:07,372
The last thing he said to me was,
"Don't worry, Mum."
478
00:21:08,524 --> 00:21:10,288
My son's a hero.
479
00:21:11,324 --> 00:21:13,403
I believe in God.
480
00:21:13,404 --> 00:21:15,163
Riley's with God.
481
00:21:15,164 --> 00:21:18,054
ALLIE: Who do you think's
responsible for the fire?
482
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:21,444
I don't know.
Rod Barrett.
483
00:21:21,604 --> 00:21:24,004
Rod didn't start that fire.
A lot of people think he did.
484
00:21:24,204 --> 00:21:26,604
Well, a lot of people are wrong.
Why?
485
00:21:26,764 --> 00:21:29,083
They didn't know him.
And you did?
486
00:21:29,084 --> 00:21:32,008
He was a decent guy.
487
00:21:33,204 --> 00:21:35,604
(SIGHS) He'd had some
tragedy in his life,
488
00:21:36,204 --> 00:21:38,650
but once you got to know him...
489
00:21:41,844 --> 00:21:44,244
He'd asked me out that night,
to the movies.
490
00:21:45,604 --> 00:21:48,004
You didn't go?
No, no, I couldn't.
491
00:21:49,004 --> 00:21:50,643
He went on his own.
492
00:21:50,644 --> 00:21:52,403
He didn't start that fire.
493
00:21:52,404 --> 00:21:54,804
Mrs Flynn, were you and Rod Barrett
more than just friends?
494
00:21:55,764 --> 00:21:58,164
No, we were just good friends.
495
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:01,283
What about him and Wally Chubb?
496
00:22:01,284 --> 00:22:03,684
Oh, they always rubbed
each other the wrong way.
497
00:22:04,284 --> 00:22:06,684
Wally and the owners' corp
had been all over Rod
498
00:22:07,724 --> 00:22:10,124
about some minor reno

Was Wally's harassment enough
to make Rod torch the place?
500
00:22:13,844 --> 00:22:15,563
No.
You sure about that?
501
00:22:15,564 --> 00:22:17,964
Yeah, I am. Rod bought
that apartment with his wife.
502
00:22:19,324 --> 00:22:21,523
That's the wife he killed
when he crashed his car.
503
00:22:21,524 --> 00:22:23,123
That apartment was their home.
504
00:22:23,124 --> 00:22:25,524
It was like all he had left
of her. He'd never torch it.
505
00:22:26,524 --> 00:22:28,924
Maybe it was a way
of finally letting go.

each other. I'm going to support them.

Well, I'm going as a Homicide cop.
Are you guys coming?

We can work the room as a team.

00:22:55,924 --> 00:22:59,167
It could reveal something,
see them let their hair down.

Hang on, hang on.
615
00:27:30,915 --> 00:27:33,315
We all know the most obvious answer
is usually the right one.
616
00:27:33,435 --> 00:27:35,835
Barrett torched his apartment,
he put the empty can in the boot.
617
00:27:35,915 --> 00:27:37,594
And didn't dump it for almost a week?
618
00:27:37,595 --> 00:27:39,994
Maybe he lost his nerve.
He knew he was being watched.
619
00:27:39,995 --> 00:27:42,395
He had reporters breathing
down his neck 24/7.
620

After they searched it,
he knew it was the safest place.

00:27:48,955 --> 00:27:51,355
Only problem is he got killed
before a chance to dump it.

get us any closer to his killer.

00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,680
You accused Mitch Chubb and
his father of framing Rod Barrett.
633
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,640
I was really angry -
what he said about Rod.
634
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,359
What exactly were you referring to
635
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,599
when you said Rod knew
what the Chubbs were up to?
636
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,119
Oh, look, I don't know.
637
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,079
It's just what Rod always said
638
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,480
about how they didn't look after
the building properly
639
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,319
after Wally became the manager.
640
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,720
Mitch Chubb also described your
relationship with Rod Barrett
641
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,519
as more than good friends.
642
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,999
Yeah, he's got a gutter mouth.
643
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,399
So you weren't having a sexual
relationship with Rod Barrett?
644
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,879
No.
645
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,759
Which could put
a completely different spin
646
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,239
on the story you told.
647
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,919
It's not true.
648
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320
There's no evidence to suggest
the Chubbs are up to anything.
649
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,160
You just liked Rod. You threw
that in there as a distraction.
650
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,879
Didn't you?
No.
651
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,280
Rod had a grudge against
the owners' corporation
652
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,239
and a jerry can full of petrol.
653
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,919
A grudge, yes. Petrol, no.
654
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,320
The fire was never meant
to get out of hand, was it?
655
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,840
Those two Besser kids, their mum,
old Frank Cooney, your son Riley -
656
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,119
they weren't supposed to die,
were they, Serena?
657
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,919
What the hell are you suggesting?
We're not suggesting anything.
658
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,320
So your lover was also the man
that killed your son.
659
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,639
The fire was, after all, his idea.
No!
660
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,919
Come on. Rod started
that fire to please you.
661
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,039
He was murdered
because he started that fire.
662
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,279
You're not the murderer,
but you're not in the clear.
663
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,680
No, it's not true.
664
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,487
None of what you're saying is true!
665
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,679
What was that about?
666
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,079
I thought I'd turn up the heat
like Jarvis suggested.
667
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,879
Well, you ambushed me as well as her.
668
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,919
Well, I knew you probably
wouldn't go for it.
669
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,320
I thought you were on
the residents' side.
670
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,359
I'm just trying to solve a homicide.
671
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,760
So did Serena Flynn cross the line
by supporting Rod Barrett?
672
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,799
No. I was just rattling her cage.
673
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,719
Pretty selective
on whose cage you rattle.
674
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,559
Didn't they teach you that
at detective school?
675
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,439
You didn't teach me anything
at detective school, actually.
676
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,839
Me? What did I have to do with it?
677
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,240
Yeah, you don't remember.
I'm not surprised.
678
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,039
You lost me, love.
679
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,119
I was in one of your
interrogation classes.
680
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,520
Yeah? Well, I don't remember.
681
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,879
Too many students, too many classes.
682
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,119
Well, you treated
the women like crap.
683
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,520
You were always on our backs,
always pushing us, always niggling.
684
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,560
And because of you,
Melanie Sherborne quit.
685
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,999
Should I remember her too?
686
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,879
Well, she works
in a chemist shop now.
687
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,359
And you're a good copper now.
688
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,682
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
689
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,330
Matt. Yeah.
690
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,839
OK, we're on our way.
691
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,365
They've found something.
692
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,359
ALLIE: What have we got?
693
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Forensics cleaned the jerry can
you found in Barrett's car.
694
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,079
Almost identical.
Rhys Cooney.
695
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,480
NICK: The other interesting thing is
Rhys's name doesn't appear anywhere
696
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,039
as a contractor in
the owners' corporation books.
697
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,359
Are you sure?
Been through them a couple of times.
698
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,760
With his grandad in the building
and his mates on the corporation,
699
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,799
you'd think he'd get work there.
700
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,759
What?
I've seen him there doing work.
701
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,160
STANLEY: When was that?
A few months back.
702
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,199
I picked Wally up one morning.
I remember seeing him there.
703
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,279
You sure he just wasn't visiting?
No, he was working.
704
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,959
He was probably working for cash.
705
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,360
The really interesting thing
is that all these account balances
706
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,399
are signed off by an 'M. Chubb'.
707
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,959
Mitch.
708
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,360
He's currently doing
a bachelor of business studies.
709
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,199
Majoring in rubbery figures.
710
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,965
Bring them both in.
They've got some explaining to do.
711
00:31:35,502 --> 00:31:37,541
You can't believe that mad bitch.
712
00:31:37,542 --> 00:31:39,942
And which mad bitch is that, Mitch?
Serena Flynn.
713
00:31:40,502 --> 00:31:42,501
That's what this is about, right,
714
00:31:42,502 --> 00:31:44,381
what she said yesterday
at the bowls club.
715
00:31:44,382 --> 00:31:45,861
MATT: You keep
the owners' corporation books
716
00:31:45,862 --> 00:31:47,341
for your dad, don't you, Mitch?
717
00:31:47,342 --> 00:31:48,821
So?
718
00:31:48,822 --> 00:31:50,701
I've never done any work
for the owners' corporation.
719
00:31:50,702 --> 00:31:53,102
Never?
That's why I'm not on their books.
720
00:31:53,142 --> 00:31:55,542
I saw you there, Rhys.
I was visiting my grandfather.
721
00:31:55,782 --> 00:31:58,182
You had your tool belt on,
a roll of triple cord under your arm.
722
00:31:58,502 --> 00:32:00,902
You were working.
So let's cut the crap.
723
00:32:00,942 --> 00:32:03,181
So he might have done some
minor stuff for his grandad.
724
00:32:03,182 --> 00:32:05,582
Sometimes we turn a blind eye.
But not for Rod Barrett?
725
00:32:05,822 --> 00:32:08,221
OK, I've done some
cash-in-hand jobs. That's all.
726
00:32:08,222 --> 00:32:09,701
So NOT on the books?
727
00:32:09,702 --> 00:32:11,901
You'd have to speak
to Mitch about that.
728
00:32:11,902 --> 00:32:14,302
Don't worry. We will.
Can you tell us about this?
729
00:32:15,342 --> 00:32:17,101
It's a jerry can.
ALLIE: Mm-hm.
730
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:19,221
SPARKES: Yours?
I don't know.
731
00:32:19,222 --> 00:32:21,261
All jerry cans
look the same, don't they?
732
00:32:21,262 --> 00:32:22,991
Except this one's
got your initials on it.
733
00:32:25,142 --> 00:32:27,542
Well, yeah, it looks like mine.
it's a lot cleaner than mine, but.
734
00:32:28,022 --> 00:32:30,422
Yeah, Forensics cleaned it up.
They removed the grease and dirt.
735
00:32:31,182 --> 00:32:33,582
How did your jerry can end up
in the boot of Rod Barrett's car?
736
00:32:34,582 --> 00:32:36,621
What?
it's a simple question.
737
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:39,022
He didn't know it was there.
RHYS: Uh, I don't know.
738
00:32:40,062 --> 00:32:41,541
Sarge, Arson sent this over.
739
00:32:41,542 --> 00:32:43,181
Said it was important
you get it asap.
740
00:32:43,182 --> 00:32:44,901
Thank you.
How's it going?
741
00:32:44,902 --> 00:32:46,870
One cocky, one nervous.
742
00:32:47,862 --> 00:32:49,785
MATT: Explain these.
743
00:32:50,782 --> 00:32:53,061
Invoices.
DUNCAN: That you paid.
744
00:32:53,062 --> 00:32:54,821
Might have. They're made out to us.
745
00:32:54,822 --> 00:32:57,222
Except when we contacted these firms,
none of them had ever done any work
746
00:32:58,182 --> 00:32:59,981
for the Wattle Grove
owners' corporation.
747
00:32:59,982 --> 00:33:01,941
What?
Too late to act surprised, Mitch.
748
00:33:01,942 --> 00:33:04,341
ALLIE: You put that can
in Barrett's car, didn't you?
749
00:33:04,342 --> 00:33:06,541
No.
Well, then how did it get there?
750
00:33:06,542 --> 00:33:08,941
I told you, I don't know.
That's not good enough.
751
00:33:08,942 --> 00:33:11,342
Think it's time to start telling the
truth, son. it's your only chance.
752
00:33:12,982 --> 00:33:14,901
It's the truth that he's afraid of.
753
00:33:14,902 --> 00:33:17,261
DUNCAN: You and Rhys
had a little earner going.
754
00:33:17,262 --> 00:33:19,662
No.
Then Rod Barrett found out.
755
00:33:19,702 --> 00:33:22,102
ALLIE: So you killed him
to shut him up, didn't you?
756
00:33:22,382 --> 00:33:24,221
No! I didn't kill anyone.
757
00:33:24,222 --> 00:33:26,622
Rod Barrett didn't start that fire.
Sparkesy got it wrong.
758
00:33:27,582 --> 00:33:31,029
And Rhys Cooney
is in serious trouble.
759
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:39,182
The fire started in the wall cavity
of your grandfather's apartment
760
00:33:39,902 --> 00:33:42,302
due to substandard electrical wiring,
761
00:33:42,342 --> 00:33:44,661
wiring carried out by you.
762
00:33:44,662 --> 00:33:46,505
Isn't that right, Rhys?
763
00:33:48,222 --> 00:33:50,111
Rhys?
764
00:33:55,862 --> 00:33:58,706
I killed my grandfather.
765
00:34:01,182 --> 00:34:03,582
I killed my mate and I killed those
two little kids and their mum.
766
00:34:05,662 --> 00:34:08,062
It shouldn't come
as a total surprise, surely?
767
00:34:08,142 --> 00:34:09,941
(SOBS)
768
00:34:09,942 --> 00:34:12,229
After the fire,
you were afraid, right, Rhys?
769
00:34:13,222 --> 00:34:15,622
I was there.
I know what it was like.
770
00:34:15,942 --> 00:34:17,581
I tried to help them,
but I couldn't.
771
00:34:17,582 --> 00:34:18,861
Yeah, I know.
772
00:34:18,862 --> 00:34:21,262
Why kill Rod Barret, Rhys?
What?
773
00:34:21,382 --> 00:34:23,381
Come on, Rhys. it's crunch time.
774
00:34:23,382 --> 00:34:25,221
I didn't kill Rod Barrett.
775
00:34:25,222 --> 00:34:27,622
Did Barrett find out about
the scam you and Mitch had going?
776
00:34:28,022 --> 00:34:30,221
No.
SPARKES: Rhys?
777
00:34:30,222 --> 00:34:32,622
No, I swear. Look. And Mitch didn't
know anything. He wasn't involved.
778
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:35,661
Don't protect him.
He was doing the books.
779
00:34:35,662 --> 00:34:38,062
But only at the end of the month.
The whole thing was Wally's idea.
780
00:34:40,022 --> 00:34:41,821
Wally Chubb?
Yeah.
781
00:34:41,822 --> 00:34:44,222
He'd get the quotes
and then he'd get me to do the work,
782
00:34:44,822 --> 00:34:47,222
but really, to make any profit,
783
00:34:48,062 --> 00:34:50,462
we had to...cut a lot of corners.
784
00:34:51,502 --> 00:34:52,992
Take risks with safety?
785
00:34:54,102 --> 00:34:55,661
So after the fire?
786
00:34:55,662 --> 00:34:58,062
I went to Wally and...
787
00:34:58,862 --> 00:35:01,262
..I told him that
I thought the fire
788
00:35:02,582 --> 00:35:04,301
might have been
started by the wiring.
789
00:35:04,302 --> 00:35:05,906
And what did he say?
790
00:35:07,502 --> 00:35:09,902
He said he'd fix it.
Those were his exact words?
791
00:35:10,462 --> 00:35:12,101
Yes.
792
00:35:12,102 --> 00:35:16,152
I just... I didn't
want it to be my fault.
793
00:35:17,662 --> 00:35:20,062
And then he found me
a few hours later
794
00:35:21,462 --> 00:35:23,021
and said not to worry,
795
00:35:23,022 --> 00:35:25,301
that Rod Barrett
had started the fire.
796
00:35:25,302 --> 00:35:27,421
Rhys, your initials
are on this jerry can.
797
00:35:27,422 --> 00:35:29,301
It looks to me
like you were the person
798
00:35:29,302 --> 00:35:31,261
who splashed the petrol
around Rod Barrett's apartment.
799
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:32,832
No.
800
00:35:33,822 --> 00:35:35,824
No, I didn't.
801
00:35:36,862 --> 00:35:40,264
Do you think I'd be so stupid
to leave my jerry can in his car?
802
00:35:43,742 --> 00:35:46,143
Wally must have done it.
803
00:35:50,942 --> 00:35:52,741
We don't like being
played for fools, Wal.
804
00:35:52,742 --> 00:35:55,142
(SLURS) Oh, Jesus, Sparkesy!
You made me whiz on me dacks.
805
00:35:56,382 --> 00:35:58,021
Oh, this is the gents, love.
806
00:35:58,022 --> 00:35:59,941
Don't call her 'love'.
You're under arrest.
807
00:35:59,942 --> 00:36:02,342
I'm a bit pissed.
Your jokes are wasted on me.
808
00:36:02,662 --> 00:36:04,301
Oh, bloody hell!
809
00:36:04,302 --> 00:36:05,781
We're not joking. Move.
Hey!
810
00:36:05,782 --> 00:36:07,511
Shut up.
This is a mistake!
811
00:36:14,022 --> 00:36:16,422
Talk about a bad hair day.
Are we sure he's sober?
812
00:36:17,222 --> 00:36:19,622
He had six hours' sleep in the lockup
and he just blew 0.02.
813
00:36:20,582 --> 00:36:22,181
Hm, good enough.
814
00:36:22,182 --> 00:36:24,461
I need some water.
TERRY: He looks rooted.
815
00:36:24,462 --> 00:36:25,981
He is.
Good.
816
00:36:25,982 --> 00:36:28,181
Rhys Cooney has made a full statement
817
00:36:28,182 --> 00:36:30,582
detailing the maintenance scam
that you and him were involved in.
818
00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:33,822
You may also want to know
that the cause of the fire
819
00:36:33,982 --> 00:36:37,145
has been determined
as unsafe wiring.
820
00:36:39,102 --> 00:36:41,502
DUNCAN: Rhys Cooney says he came
to you on the night of the fire,
821
00:36:42,182 --> 00:36:44,582
worried that his wiring
may have been the cause.
822
00:36:44,982 --> 00:36:47,382
He said you told him
that you'd fix it.
823
00:36:48,462 --> 00:36:50,261
Is that correct, Mr Chubb?
824
00:36:50,262 --> 00:36:52,181
It was a terrible night.
825
00:36:52,182 --> 00:36:54,381
No-one was thinking clearly.
826
00:36:54,382 --> 00:36:56,782
Is his statement correct?
Yes.
827
00:36:57,782 --> 00:36:59,621
What did you mean by "fix it"?
828
00:36:59,622 --> 00:37:02,022
Shift the blame onto Rod Barrett.
829
00:37:02,262 --> 00:37:03,861
DUNCAN: And how did you do that?
830
00:37:03,862 --> 00:37:06,229
You know how.
Tell us.
831
00:37:08,822 --> 00:37:10,631
I took a...
832
00:37:11,622 --> 00:37:14,022
..jerry can from Rhys's van.
833
00:37:14,302 --> 00:37:16,702
In the confusion after the fire,
834
00:37:18,542 --> 00:37:20,942
got into Barrett's apartment
and splashed some petrol around.
835
00:37:21,942 --> 00:37:23,741
Well, that's another
six-pointer for Arson
836
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:25,381
but we still need to kick a goal.
837
00:37:25,382 --> 00:37:27,421
DUNCAN: What did you do
with the jerry can afterwards?
838
00:37:27,422 --> 00:37:29,661
I put the can
in the boot of his car.
839
00:37:29,662 --> 00:37:31,141
And made a call to Crime Watch.
840
00:37:31,142 --> 00:37:34,988
So is that when you decided
you had to get rid of Rod Barrett?
841
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:39,461
I had nothing to do with that.
842
00:37:39,462 --> 00:37:41,862
That's right. You were at home,
asleep, by yourself.
843
00:37:43,662 --> 00:37:45,501
I was.
844
00:37:45,502 --> 00:37:47,902
I'd done a good enough job making
the whole world think he was guilty.
845
00:37:48,942 --> 00:37:50,621
Any allegations he might make
846
00:37:50,622 --> 00:37:53,022
would be seen to be the desperate
attempts by an arsonist
847
00:37:53,982 --> 00:37:55,472
to clear his own name.
848
00:37:56,822 --> 00:37:59,302
What? Why would I kill him?
849
00:38:01,222 --> 00:38:04,146
So if it's not Wally...
And it's not Rhys...
850
00:38:17,342 --> 00:38:19,742
Dad always used to say
you were a good bloke, his mate.
851
00:38:21,302 --> 00:38:23,702
He and Rhys were ripping off the
other residents at the building.
852
00:38:24,062 --> 00:38:26,462
ALLIE: He's also admitted
to splashing petrol
853
00:38:26,502 --> 00:38:28,541
around Rod Barrett's apartment.
854
00:38:28,542 --> 00:38:30,061
Will he go to jail?
855
00:38:30,062 --> 00:38:31,541
Your dad's going down for arson.
856
00:38:31,542 --> 00:38:33,621
He's also in the frame
for Barrett's murder.
857
00:38:33,622 --> 00:38:35,541
If you know anything,
now's the time to say.
858
00:38:35,542 --> 00:38:37,501
So Barrett...
859
00:38:37,502 --> 00:38:40,551
Yeah, an innocent man.
860
00:38:41,542 --> 00:38:43,351
Dad didn't kill Barrett.
861
00:38:45,382 --> 00:38:47,741
How do you know that?
862
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:49,312
'Cause I know who did.
863
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:52,381
Go on.
864
00:38:52,382 --> 00:38:54,341
I can't even remember
who suggested it.
865
00:38:54,342 --> 00:38:57,824
What?
Teaching Barrett a lesson.
866
00:39:00,702 --> 00:39:03,102
I'd already gone cold on the idea
by the time we got there.
867
00:39:03,662 --> 00:39:06,061
Have you got any idea
what time it is?
868
00:39:06,062 --> 00:39:07,901
Ohh!
869
00:39:07,902 --> 00:39:11,623
But he went for him.
Straightaway, pow!
870
00:39:12,702 --> 00:39:14,381
I was really scared,
871
00:39:14,382 --> 00:39:17,431
but I helped him carry him
across the road and into the park.
872
00:39:18,902 --> 00:39:21,302
Can't we just leave him here?
MAN: Nup. No way.
873
00:39:21,942 --> 00:39:24,752
We're gonna string
the bastard up. Come on.
874
00:39:27,102 --> 00:39:29,502
Who was it, Mitch? Who killed him?
875
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:33,102
Rod was still alive when I left.
876
00:39:33,302 --> 00:39:35,702
I was scared.
I didn't know what to do.
877
00:39:35,822 --> 00:39:37,821
(GROANS)
878
00:39:37,822 --> 00:39:38,948
I can't.
879
00:39:40,702 --> 00:39:42,591
It was Len Besser, wasn't it?
880
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,043
Stay back.
Put it down, Len.
881
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,645
Come on, mate. This is no way out.
882
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,519
My life's over.
883
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,920
I don't have a future, just a past.
884
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,200
You think that now,
but you can recover from this.
885
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,720
I don't want to recover.
I don't want to forget.
886
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,719
No-one's talking about forgetting.
887
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,326
You'll always remember them.
They'll always be in your heart.
888
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,840
They need me. They're my family.
889
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,244
I should be with them.
890
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,319
Yeah, you should.
891
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,720
You should all be together, here,
alive. And it's a tragedy you're not.
892
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,531
But they wouldn't want you
to do this, Len. You know that.
893
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,719
I killed Rod Barrett.
894
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,479
I know.
895
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,880
Now they're saying on the radio
that he didn't start the fire.
896
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,759
Is that true?
897
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160
You weren't in a proper state of
mind. That'll be taken into account.
898
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,482
Did I kill an innocent man?
899
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,040
Did I?
Yeah.
900
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,760
(CRIES) More reason, then.
901
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,681
More reason to be a man and take
responsibility for what you've done.
902
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,160
If there is a heaven,
how are you gonna explain this
903
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,964
to Sophie and Jack and Stephanie?
904
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,124
I just miss them so much.
905
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,880
I know that, Len,
but this isn't the answer.
906
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,770
Just give me the gun.
907
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,330
Come on, mate.
908
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,839
Will you stay with me?
909
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,729
Yeah, of course I will.

STANLEY: Yeah.
912
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,120
Sarge, we found the lump hammer and
rope in the boot of Len Besser's car.
913
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,759
He's made a full confession.
914
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,559
How is he now he's in custody?
915
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,039
He's having a full psych evaluation.
916
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,999
They'll keep him in hospital
for the time being.
917
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,999
I'm just on my way over to see him now.
918
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,400
You got a good one there, Stanley.
She's a keeper.
919
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,959
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure
Detective Kingston
920
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,519
has learnt a lot from you, Wilton.
921
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,679
Well, I better get going.
922
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,679
Thanks for having me
along for the ride.
923
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,959
You did a good job.
Me and my partner.

Hey, Sarge.
Yeah?

Come again when you
can't stay so long.
