Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Previously,
on City Homicide...
2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,199
It now appears that Mr Majors
was convicted and sentenced
3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,599
on the basis of false evidence.
4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,919
That evidence - it was straight-up!
5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,919
Now, you ought to know,
because you found it, mate!
6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,559
Yeah - after you sent me there.
7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,880
Nick Buchanan...
he's not as clean as you think...
8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,399
Lombardi is after
Nick Buchanan.
9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,639
He's going to charge him with
perverting the course of justice.
10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,519
Have you heard of Task Force Circa?
Yeah - that's Fraud, isn't it?
11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,599
Well, I just think your skills
would be ideally suited
12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,520
and I know
they're looking for new people.
13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,679
Nick...
14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,319
We'll be dissolving Homicide
altogether.
15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,439
And the current Homicide detectives?
16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,119
A few retirements,
a few transfers...
17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,440
But make no mistake - there will be
no more Homicide squad.
18
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:07,079
He passed about an hour ago.
19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,199
I'm sorry you didn't
get here on time.
20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,679
You're not the only one, Father.
21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,559
You said his name
was Greg Stevens.
22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,959
Can you tell us anything else
about him?
23
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:19,599
Not much, I'm afraid. He came to us
a month ago from St John's.
24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,879
He'd been diagnosed with
end-stage prostate cancer.
25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,359
What about before that?
He'd been living on the streets.
26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,079
And he told you that
he was responsible for a death?
27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,839
Well, he said he'd murdered
three people but...
28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,159
..I believe that
he sensed the end was near
29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,759
and he was trying to
clear his conscience.
30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,759
Did he give you any details or where
or when these murders occurred?
31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,600
No, I'm afraid not.
32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,919
OK, Father -
well, we'll check it out.
33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,919
But I don't think
there's very far we can go
34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,399
with the information
you've given us.
35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960
I understand, but, look -
there is this one thing.
36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,879
He came here with this.
37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,359
He always kept the Bible close,
38
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,839
so he could become quite agitated
if it wasn't near him.
39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,879
I think it was his way
of reminding himself of his sins.
40
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,480
What makes you say that?
Have a look in the front cover.
41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,199
Three names, three murder victims.
42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,199
And we're meant to, what -
disappear, just like that?
43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,599
The Homicide squad will be no more.
44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,079
I'm arranging
the immediate transfers
45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359
of over 40 experienced officers.
46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,999
Who exactly does Lombardi think
is going to solve murders?
47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,159
A bunch of divisional dees
running round like headless chooks.
48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,519
We saved that bombastic
show pony's life.
49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Yeah! Now he's a bloody hero!
Shot in the line of duty.
50
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,679
So when does the axe fall?
51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,719
Friday.
52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760
When are you telling the troops?
Tonight, before shift change.
53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,759
Sarge?
54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,719
Yes, Rhys. What is it?
55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,319
The three names from the Bible -
56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,319
Mavis Simmons, Ruth Benson,
Peter Falkiner.
57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,239
They're all in the system
from the late '80s,
58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,119
but the thing is
none of them were murdered.
59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,839
Mavis Simmons died in a car crash,
60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,799
Peter Falkiner was killed
in a house fire.
61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,679
Both deaths were recorded
as accidental
62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,159
and Ruth Benson disappeared.
63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,559
Any connection between the three?
64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,039
The two deaths
and the disappearance -
65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,639
they all happened
in the same year - 1989?
66
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:15,839
Yeah.
That's about it.
67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,399
Gotta admit, Sarge, it's intriguing.
68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,279
All deceased or disappeared.
69
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
So with nothing else to go on,
what are we supposed to do?
70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,639
Your job.
71
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,120
Be detectives.
72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,279
Your man here was
a professional fighter in his youth.
73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,759
A boxer?
That's my guess.
74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,079
How can you tell?
75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,759
Multiple fractures
in his fingers and hands.
76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,679
His jaw's been broken at least
four times, possibly more.
77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,399
His ribs have been shattered
so many times,
78
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,319
it's a miracle
they're holding together!
79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,439
So he was a boxer,
but who was he?
80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,919
Charlie Mansfield.
81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,639
I knew I knew that mug.
82
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,839
Charlie Mansfield?
We know him as Greg Stevens.
83
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,679
Nah, you know him wrong, then,
Freeman.
84
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,479
He was a fighter in the mid-'80s.
Are you sure about that?
85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,559
Yeah-no, I'm sure, alright. Here.
86
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,599
Have a look at the scar tissue
under the eyes here.
87
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,919
That was his weakness as a fighter.
88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,399
Thin skin - well-placed punch
and he'd open up and bleed
89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,879
like a stuck pig.
90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,439
No, last I heard of Charlie Mansfield
after he quit the fight game,
91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,958
he was working as a bouncer/standover
for various low-lives around town.
92
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:22,879
You have any dealings
with him personally?
93
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,400
No! Long time ago.
I was still in uniform.
94
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,119
Find out who his corner man was -
his manager.
95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,159
That'd be your best bet.
You talk to his manager.
96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,800
I'll talk to the corner man.
Alright.
97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,759
Good afternoon.
Beaut Bet. How can I help you?
98
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,039
Charlie Mansfield!
99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,879
He's a blast from the past.
100
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,359
So you remember him?
101
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,679
I managed his last few fights.
102
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,479
Bags of potential, Charlie.
A real gonna-be.
103
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479
Unfortunately, he's what we call
in the game a 'bleeder'.
104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,279
Yeah, we've got that much already.
105
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,999
Sad case.
Broken when he had to give it away.
106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,639
Mr Canter, you say
you were Charlie's manager.
107
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,119
But according to our research,
108
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,639
it was actually George Canter -
your father that managed Charlie.
109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,119
True.
110
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,199
Dad became, um... indisposed.
So I took over.
111
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,519
'Indisposed'?
112
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,439
Our records show that
your father killed someone
113
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,919
in a road-rage incident.
114
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,159
Got 16 years and he died in prison.
115
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,799
That was a long time ago, son.
116
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,199
I'm pretty flat chat.
What's this all about?
117
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,559
Well, when Charlie quit boxing,
do you know what happened to him?
118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,039
No, not really.
119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,759
I heard around the traps
that he was working as a bouncer
120
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,239
but that was a long time ago.
121
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,199
And what about friends, family?
Do you remember anyone like that?
122
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,279
No. Look, he, er... he used to say
he grew up in boys home.
123
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:41,439
OK.
124
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,079
Remember the odd girlfriend hanging
off his arm but that was about it.
125
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,799
Do you remember any
of these girls' names?
126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,479
It was 25 years ago, son.
127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,279
They were basically boxing groupies -
dime a dozen.
128
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,439
OK.
129
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,239
Do the names Mavis Simmons,
Peter Falkiner or Ruth Benson
130
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,719
mean anything to you?
131
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,360
I'm sorry. I can't help you.
Those names mean nothing to me.
132
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,280
Yep?
133
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,199
You rang?
Come in. Shut the door.
134
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,679
I won't keep you.
135
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,079
I wondered whether you'd had
a chance to talk to Frank Bolsen
136
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,079
about transferring
to Task Force Circa.
137
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,399
Yeah, actually, I did want to
talk to you about that.
138
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,360
It's a good slot, especially...
I'm not applying for it.
139
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,360
What?
140
00:06:23,361 --> 00:06:25,359
Why would I transfer?
I mean, I love it here.
141
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,839
And I think I've still got
a lot to learn in Homicide.
142
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,359
Sorry. I hope I didn't put you out
with Frank Bolsen.
143
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320
Yeah, Rhys - wait.
144
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,479
Look, what I'm going to say
is strictly confidential.
145
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,599
Yeah, OK.
146
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,279
As of Friday, there will be no more
Homicide squad. It's finished.
147
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,759
Sorry, what?!
148
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000
I'm going to tell
the rest of the team tonight.
149
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,639
Is this why
you wanted me to transfer?
150
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,399
No, no, no - when I first suggested
you look elsewhere,
151
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,919
I didn't know Homicide was going
to be disbanded, I just thought...
152
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,519
You just thought you'd give me
preferential treatment
153
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,999
just in case, is that it?
154
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,279
Let's back up here, shall we?
155
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,999
Now, you didn't mind my help getting
into Homicide in the first place.
156
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,879
And you wanted me
to live and breathe Homicide,
157
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,359
and I've done that.
158
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,959
But now you're throwing me
a lifeline
159
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,079
when my colleagues have no idea
what'll go down!
160
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,199
I'm sorry to put you
in a difficult position.
161
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,679
It's an impossible position!
162
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,599
These aren't just my colleagues -
these are my friends.
163
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Yeah, and you're my family.
164
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,199
OK, everyone.
Just listen up, please.
165
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,399
Thank you.
166
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,519
Right - there's no...
easy way to say this,
167
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,000
so I'll get straight to the point.
168
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,079
In a couple of hours, the
Attorney-General, Michael Lombardi,
169
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,879
will be making an announcement
to the media
170
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,399
that Homicide
is going to be disbanded.
171
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,199
In his wisdom, Mr...
-Everyone, please! Hey, hey!
172
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,839
Quieten up, please, please!
Show some respect.
173
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,919
Commander.
174
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,319
As I was saying, in his wisdom,
175
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,719
Mr Lombardi has decided that
all future homicides
176
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,159
will be handled
on a divisional basis.
177
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,439
For high-profile cases,
special task forces will be formed.
178
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,319
I can't tell you how it grieves me
to be making this announcement.
179
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,799
And I will make
every possible effort to ensure
180
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,919
that you are transferred to a squad
or a position of your choice.
181
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,399
Yeah, but this is Homicide. The
only direction from here is down.
182
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,879
Shh, shh - zip!
183
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,399
Can I say everyone here
has served the department
184
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,558
with loyalty and with distinction?
185
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,559
All I can do is thank you...
from the bottom of my heart.
186
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,479
But that's not all
you can do, is it?
187
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,959
This is political payback
from Michael Lombardi
188
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,079
because we got too close to the
truth, now he wants to shut us down!
189
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,959
Hey! That's enough, Levitt? Alright?
190
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,879
Are we really just gonna
let this guy destroy
191
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,079
what is easily the best department
in the job?
192
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,519
Are you, Commander?
193
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,719
Because from where I'm standing,
it sounds like you just rolled over.
194
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Levitt. Levitt! Back here - now!
195
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,399
With all due respect, sir,
196
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640
we still have
three potential murders to solve.
197
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,759
Got a bit fired up in there?
Yeah.
198
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,239
Yeah, and I meant every word too.
199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,399
If the Commander doesn't like it,
she can get stuffed!
200
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,839
Mate... it had to be said.
You just got in first.
201
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,639
Yeah, well, this case -
a dead suspect,
202
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,039
three possible victims,
an unreliable confession...
203
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,879
I mean, this is exactly the type
of case that will not get solved
204
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,079
if Homicide goes.
205
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Yeah. You're right.
206
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160
She tried to get me on a task force.
207
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Blood's thicker than water?
Yeah.
208
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,559
Well, I told her no.
209
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,720
I thought you were meant to be smart!
210
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,560
Matt Ryan.
211
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,839
I don't imagine Waverley's going to
be able to find positions
212
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,159
for all of us.
213
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,879
I'm sure Traffic Management
will have the room.
214
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,079
Maybe even for a guy
with a corruption charge on his CV.
215
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,759
Oi!
216
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,799
Yeah?
217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,479
I've got one question - did you know
this was going to happen?
218
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,959
Why would I know about it?
219
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,839
And even if I did,
what was I supposed to do?
220
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,319
Um... tell us!
221
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,959
And what good would that have done?
So you did know?
222
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Yeah, I knew.
Just before we went in.
223
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,519
Listen up, guys.
224
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,319
Pathology just got the bloods back
on Greg Stevens.
225
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,879
Aka Charlie Mansfield.
226
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,519
He had a large amount of heroin
in his system - a lethal dose.
227
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,919
When Ronnie got the bloods,
she re-examined the body,
228
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,639
found a needle mark near his heart.
229
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,919
Well, now we DO have a murder.
230
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,279
Father, what are your
security arrangements like here?
231
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,719
Er, the front doors are locked and
secured at night and monitored.
232
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,319
The emergency doors are alarmed.
233
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,839
Visiting hours finish at 7:00,
234
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,279
so anyone coming in after that,
you couldn't help but see.
235
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,839
OK - so we're talking
night staff, cleaners...
236
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,359
You're better off talking to the
night supervisor - Michelle Smith.
237
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Greg?
238
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:09,039
But he was only going to last
another week, at the most.
239
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,359
Poor bugger. Why would you bother
to bump him off?
240
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,359
Well, how well did you know Greg?
241
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,479
Not much past his care requirements.
I know he was in a lot of pain.
242
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,039
Michelle! Chelly!
Coming!
243
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,279
It's my dad. He's not very mobile.
244
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,519
So you're a nurse at home
as well as work?
245
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,839
For the moment, yeah.
246
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,399
Did you ever have
a lucid conversation with him?
247
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Greg?
Yeah.
248
00:11:32,401 --> 00:11:34,199
Probably.
249
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,959
I mean, I deal with
a lot of patients, you know.
250
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,519
I try and be chatty and up-beat.
Some respond, some don't.
251
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,919
But it's hard to remember
who says what.
252
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,959
Did Greg ever show you his Bible?
253
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,599
Bible? No. Why?
254
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,359
What about the name
Charlie Mansfield?
255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,839
Do you remember Greg
ever mentioning him?
256
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,639
Don't think so.
Chelly!
257
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,039
I'm coming, Dad! Look,
I've got to go. I can't help you.
258
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,519
One last question, Michelle.
259
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,879
On the night that Greg died,
do you remember seeing anyone
260
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,479
around the hospice
that you didn't recognise?
261
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,080
Like who?
A new face? A stranger?
262
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,519
Not that I remember.
263
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,479
Michelle! I'm waiting on my egg!
It'll be hard as a rock.
264
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:14,159
I'm getting it, Dad, now, OK?
265
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,560
Alright.
Thanks for your time, Michelle.
266
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,560
Chelly!
267
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,399
What can I do for you,
Attorney-General?
268
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,879
I've been meeting
with the Commissioner.
269
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,039
I asked him how the reassignments
for Homicide were going.
270
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,599
And what did he say?
271
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,399
He said that you would brief me
as to the current state of play.
272
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,239
Sorry, I just didn't think you'd be
taking such a personal interest
273
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,719
in the future of the squad.
274
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,719
Only in the sense that
I'd like everything completed
275
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,399
by the end of business Friday.
276
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,479
I don't understand the rush.
277
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,080
Big boys' games, big boys' rules.
You're grown up enough to know that.
278
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,239
Attorney-General,
clearly you have no respect for me.
279
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,999
And may I say
the feeling's entirely mutual?
280
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,199
But surely to destroy Homicide
is counterproductive.
281
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,919
Your point?
282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,760
Keep Homicide intact
and you can have my resignation.
283
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,199
That's very noble -
falling on your sword, Commander.
284
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,959
I'll expect your resignation
on my desk
285
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,959
by the end of business Friday.
286
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,639
And Homicide?
That won't be any of your concern.
287
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520
Well, if I don't get a guarantee,
you won't get my resignation.
288
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,999
Don't defy me.
289
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,239
You'll leave this place
without any superannuation
290
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,319
and no reputation to speak of.
291
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Homicide ends Friday, Bernice,
and your resignation comes with it.
292
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,159
Hey. Ethical Standards
done with you?
293
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,839
For today. How long's it been?
294
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,119
Er... nearly four hours.
295
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,879
I keep telling them that I wasn't
party to Dalton's conspiracy but...
296
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,639
..even to me, it sounds weak.
297
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,159
So? What now?
298
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,239
Well, they write up their report,
299
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,719
decide whether the charges
will stick.
300
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,199
Well, they won't.
301
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,320
If Lombardi pushes hard enough,
it will.
302
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,639
Anyway... it's my problem.
303
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,319
Waverley told you
where you're going?
304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,599
No, but word's getting around.
305
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,479
Got a call from Fraud squad -
I can go back there if I want.
306
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,520
You'd be bored out of your brain.
307
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240
but it does offer up
other possibilities.
308
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,039
Does it?
309
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,759
Well, the way I see it,
310
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,600
the issue was always both of us
being Homicide cops.
311
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,719
So you better hurry up and decide
where you want to be transferred.
312
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,280
Just give Fraud a miss. OK?
313
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,879
You checking out vacancies
in other squads?
314
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,519
Computer Crime,
Ethical Standards...
315
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,559
You probably shouldn't
go for that one.
316
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,119
Task Force Circa has an opening.
Yeah?
317
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,359
Busting organised crime rackets.
Well, it's not here.
318
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,239
Just give them a call - after
you help me take the statement.
319
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,319
Whose statement?
320
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,759
I managed to track down one of
the relatives of Peter Falkiner -
321
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,239
one of the names from the Bible.
322
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,719
Isn't Duncan with you on this?
Yeah.
323
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,879
But he's chasing up relatives
of the other two victims.
324
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,159
OK.
325
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,519
Peter Falkiner - which one's he?
The one that died in the house fire.
326
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,399
Why don't you take a seat?
Is this about my uncle?
327
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,359
Yeah. Yeah, it is, actually.
328
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,799
After all this time.
329
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,800
You're Homicide, aren't you?
Yeah - for the time being.
330
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,639
We have reason to believe
that your uncle's death
331
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,159
may not have been accidental.
332
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,239
But it was that old stove.
That's what the coroner said.
333
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,559
Yeah, and the coroner may not
have had all the information.
334
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,039
What information?
335
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,440
Deborah, do you know anyone that
might have wanted your uncle dead?
336
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,679
No!
337
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,399
Were you close to him?
338
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,759
He was the 'strange one'
in our family.
339
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,119
But for some reason,
we always got along.
340
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,119
Mum said he never came back
the same after Vietnam.
341
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,679
But... he was always wonderful to me.
342
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,159
And he lived alone?
That's the way he liked it.
343
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,039
It was a shed, really. A fire trap.
344
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,159
It's no surprise that
it went up in flames.
345
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,079
In the months leading up
to your uncle's death,
346
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,639
did anything unusual happen to him?
347
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,959
He owe any money?
Get in any trouble?
348
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,039
No. No, nothing like that.
349
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,279
Unless you call being in the wrong
place at the wrong time trouble.
350
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,199
How do you mean?
351
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,359
About three months before he died,
352
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,559
Peter ended up spending
so much time giving statements,
353
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,719
going to court...
354
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,679
Hang on - you just said before
that he didn't get in any trouble.
355
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,639
HE didn't. It was what he saw.
Well, what did he see?
356
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,039
It happened right before his eyes.
357
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000
He witnessed a murder.
358
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,439
You've got a breakthrough?
Yep.
359
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,399
We are gonna be so wasted on Traffic
when these transfers come through.
360
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,639
Mavis Simmons,
one of the names in the Bible.
361
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,119
Duncan tracked down
her daughter in Geelong.
362
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,639
Now, before Mavis died
in that alleged car accident,
363
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,159
she witnessed a crime.
364
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,879
She testified about
what she saw at trial.
365
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,199
As did Peter Falkiner.
We just spoke to his niece.
366
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,559
And according to court records,
our third witness is Ruth Benson.
367
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,039
You've got a connection.
What's the crime?
368
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,999
The three of them were witness to
a man being stabbed to death
369
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,439
in a road rage incident.
370
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,999
Peter Falkiner
was delivering junk mail.
371
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,838
Mavis Simmons was waiting
at the pedestrian crossing,
372
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,439
and Ruth Benson was driving past
on her way to the shops.
373
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,318
The man that committed the murder
was already known to the police.
374
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,599
He ran a couple of illegal casinos
375
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,479
and the odd brothel or two.
376
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,279
And that's him?
George Canter.
377
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,160
You're kidding.
Phillip Canter's father.
378
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,359
Look, what's this all about?
Please take a seat, sir.
379
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,239
Two uniforms turn up at my house when
I'm having dinner with my family,
380
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,159
and threaten to arrest me
if I don't come with them.
381
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,719
You need to take it easy.
382
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,360
And you need to sit down.
383
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,279
I'll be talking to someone
about this.
384
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,119
Well, that's your choice, Mr Canter.
385
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,920
But, in the meantime,
we need to ask you a few questions.
386
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,319
Like I said...
387
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,039
..I haven't heard
or seen Charlie Mansfield...
388
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,239
So, you're thinking the apple
doesn't fall too far from the tree?
389
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,119
He's certainly got his dad's temper,
but he keeps his hands cleaner.
390
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,999
Where were you
the night before last?
391
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,799
In Perth at a convention.
Concerning?
392
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,919
The gaming industry. It's what I do.
393
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,759
Is that it?
I'll check it out.
394
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,799
Do you want to know
which hotel I was at?
395
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,839
What flight I was on?
Which bars I drank in?
396
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,159
Actually, we'd like to talk to you
about your father.
397
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,559
My dad? Why?
398
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,879
Well, your father was convicted
of murder back in the late '80s.
399
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,999
So?
400
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,839
So...
401
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,919
..did you follow the trial closely,
Mr Canter?
402
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,799
Of course I did. He was my father.
403
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,440
And do you remember the witnesses
that testified against your father?
404
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,039
It's ancient history.
405
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119
Mavis Simmons, Ruth Benson
and Peter Falkiner.
406
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,279
Do you remember me
asking you about those people?
407
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,999
Like I told you...
it was a long time ago.
408
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,679
No, no. Actually, you said,
"Sorry, can't help you."
409
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,479
Charlie Mansfield, he claimed to a
priest that he killed those people.
410
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,999
That's nothing to do with me.
That's Charlie's business.
411
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,999
He was murdered
before he could talk to us about it.
412
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,159
Do you know anything about that?
No.
413
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,359
I don't know anything about that.
414
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,079
Did you pay Charlie Mansfield
to kill those witnesses?
415
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,959
Is that what Charlie
was gonna tell us before he died?
416
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,799
Ghosts. They always come back
to haunt you, hey, Phillip?
417
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,600
I don't believe in ghosts, son.
418
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,519
He's a lying prick.
419
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,319
Unless his alibi proves false,
I can't see a way to keep him here.
420
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,799
Sorry.
421
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,759
Canter was schmoozing and boozing
with convention delegates all night.
422
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,079
Then we let him go.
And we keep at it.
423
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Sarge.
424
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,959
Keep at it. At least until
they pull the plug on us.
425
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,560
You know where they're
sending you, Sarge?
426
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,759
Doesn't matter. I won't go.
427
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,119
I'll leave the force
before I leave Homicide.
428
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,680
Take my retirement package.
Try to put my life back together.
429
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,559
Spend some time with my family.
430
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,160
Sounds like a good option, yeah.
431
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,239
I can't tell you what to do, Matt.
Yeah, I know.
432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,159
I reckon I've got
another 20 years in the job.
433
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah.
434
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,640
Just...
435
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,000
..don't get bitter.
436
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,039
So, what have we got, Ronnie?
437
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,039
Female victim. Early 40s.
438
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,039
First thought is she was strangled
before being dumped in the creek.
439
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,999
Any ID?
No. Not on her.
440
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Got your gumboots in the car?
441
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,959
What do you know?
442
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,359
Do you recognise her?
443
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:16,399
Yeah, Sarge.
That's Michelle Smith.
444
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,119
She's the night manager
at the hospice.
445
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,119
We spoke to her yesterday
and now she's dead.
446
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,239
You think that she gave
Charlie Mansfield the hotshot?
447
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,199
Well, it's starting to
look like it, Sarge.
448
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,959
We did tell Phillip Canter that
Charlie murdered three witnesses.
449
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,159
So, we let him go and he goes
straight out and he tops Michelle.
450
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,799
She lived with her father.
451
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,959
He was maybe the last person
to see her alive.
452
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,959
OK. I'll get Phillip Canter
brought back into Homicide.
453
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,160
You two get over there
and talk to the father.
454
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,519
Bastard!
455
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,039
You bastard!
456
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,319
Come on! I'll take ya!
457
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,439
Mr Smith! It's the police!
458
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800
You take the back.
459
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,160
POLICE!
460
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,239
Police!
461
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,599
Police! Put the gun down, please.
Put it down!
462
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,440
Put the gun down!
463
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,479
Put it down slowly.
464
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,959
Where are they?
Where's the other shooter?
465
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,479
Which way?
Who?
466
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,479
The people who were shooting at you!
Nobody shot at me.
467
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,959
We heard gunshots.
I was cleaning my gun. It went off.
468
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,519
Come on.
There's glass on the inside.
469
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,999
The shot came from out there.
470
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,880
Where's my daughter?
I'm out of smokes.
471
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,719
Mr Smith.
472
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,159
Robson. My name's Robson.
473
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,079
Mr Robson. There's been an incident.
474
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,879
Where's my daughter?
475
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,640
Where's Michelle?
476
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,199
How did he react
to his daughter's death?
477
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,840
Not a flicker.
478
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,999
Heart of stone.
479
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,239
So, what happened
at your house, Mr Robson?
480
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,479
Because it looks to us
like someone tried to kill you.
481
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,039
Mistaken identity.
482
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,279
Is that what happened
to Michelle too? Your daughter?
483
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,799
Someone killed her by mistake?
484
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,399
Piss off.
485
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,399
So, who do you reckon did it, Bert?
486
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,600
I wouldn't know.
487
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,279
You've got a docket
going a long way back.
488
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,959
Intimidation. Assault.
489
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,719
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Threats to kill.
490
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,279
But you didn't work alone, did you?
491
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,199
You and Charlie Mansfield
were a team.
492
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,519
Together you could strongarm anyone.
493
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,039
You worked for George Canter.
494
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,919
You and Charlie played his bully.
495
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,879
Keeping Georgie's brothels
and his gaming halls in line.
496
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,079
Was it Phillip Canter?
497
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,560
Did he kill Michelle
and then try and kill you?
498
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,479
Stop stonewalling...
499
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,519
We've got Canter. He finally
turned up at his gaming business.
500
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,119
He have a busy morning, did he?
501
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:05,399
Two of them died in accidents
and one disappeared without a trace.
502
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,119
Only now we think
they were murdered.
503
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,079
By Charlie Mansfield. And by you.
504
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,839
Charlie's dead.
Yeah. He is now.
505
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,759
So, what happened?
Did Michelle come home from work?
506
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,959
Tell you about
this crazy old guy with a Bible?
507
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,679
The one with three names in it?
You knew if that got out...
508
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,799
..you'd be linked directly
to all those killings.
509
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,439
Because you and Charlie killed
those people together, didn't you?
510
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,239
You're dreaming.
Under the order of Phillip Canter!
511
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,359
Payback for his dad doing time.
You got nothing.
512
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,239
You had to stop Charlie
from talking, didn't you?
513
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,879
So, who's idea was it for Michelle
to give the hotshot?
514
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,799
Was that yours? Or Phillip's?
515
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,279
It all comes back to Phillip Canter.
516
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,879
He's more of a fixer.
517
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,279
We think 20 years ago he got Charlie
and Bert to kill three witnesses.
518
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,159
Come on, Bert.
This isn't the old days anymore!
519
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,159
Do the right thing!
Let us catch Michelle's killer.
520
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,040
Do it for her.
521
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,519
Piss off.
522
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,559
Yeah. Thanks for nothing, Bert.
So, how do we get Canter?
523
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,519
What about evidence of contact
between him and Michelle?
524
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,559
I mean, he had to give her
the hotshot somehow.
525
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,199
Phone records. Go.
526
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,839
It's gonna take more than that
to crack George Canter's boy.
527
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,519
Let him stew for a while.
Work up a head of steam.
528
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,559
And then?
529
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Send Freeman in.
Put the fear of Homicide in him.
530
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,639
You have totally crossed the line.
Two nights in a row is harassment.
531
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,239
Phillip Canter...
532
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,199
..we're arresting you for conspiracy
to murder Charlie Mansfield.
533
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,759
You are not obliged...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
534
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,639
You are completely wrong, son.
Michelle Smith.
535
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,919
She gave Charlie Mansfield
a hotshot under your orders.
536
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,759
I don't know any Michelle Smith.
537
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,159
No, she used to work
under her ex-husband's name.
538
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,279
Her real name's Michelle Robson.
539
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,679
And you know her father, don't you?
Bert Robson.
540
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,279
Bert?
541
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,839
I haven't seen Bert for a long time.
542
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,319
Well, what about his daughter?
I told you. I don't know her.
543
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,639
See, we've got phone records
that clearly state
544
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,279
she contacted you
on four different occasions.
545
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,559
Bert give you her number?
546
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,079
I don't remember any phone calls.
547
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,759
Did you pay her?
548
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,199
Maybe you said if she didn't kill
Charlie, you'd kill her father.
549
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,879
After she did the hit, you strangled
her, threw her in a creek?
550
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,439
What creek?
What are you talking about?
551
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,199
And then you tried to kill Bert.
552
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,159
And what sort of guy
would try and do that?
553
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,679
You don't have anything.
554
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,479
Well, see, that's the beauty
555
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,719
of a conspiracy to murder charge,
Mr Canter.
556
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,759
You stay in remand until we gather
the evidence we need.
557
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,599
That could take, what, 12 months?
558
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,079
Hey, maybe more.
559
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,559
We've got a witness to protect.
560
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,879
No way a magistrate's gonna
let you out on the streets
561
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,439
so you can intimidate a witness.
562
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,119
What witness?
Bert Robson.
563
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,079
Now I know you're bluffing
564
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,359
because there's no way Bert
would go to the police.
565
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:47,319
See, all the magistrate's gonna see
is a pathetic, vulnerable old man
566
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,919
who's in fear for his life.
567
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,119
Is there a custodial sentence
for conspiracy to murder?
568
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:54,679
Some people do prison easy
and some people do prison hard.
569
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,479
Can't see you holding on to
that gaming licence either.
570
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,439
You'll never make it stick.
571
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,440
Maybe not now, but we got
all the time in the world.
572
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,279
Come on. On your feet.
On your feet!
573
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,480
HOLD ON!
574
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,799
What if I had something
that might interest you?
575
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,399
Like what?
576
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,079
Could we do a deal?
577
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,920
Well, what can you give us?
578
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,599
Do you know Michael Lombardi?
579
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,199
Yeah, sure. The Attorney-General.
580
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,279
What if I was to testify in court
581
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,559
that the Attorney-General
approached me three weeks ago
582
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
to have someone killed?
583
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,559
Phillip Canter wants to make a deal.
584
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,119
What have you got him on?
585
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:47,239
We're changing him with conspiracy
to murder Charlie Mansfield.
586
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,679
And possibly also
conspiracy to murder Michelle Smith
587
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,239
and the three witnesses
from back in the late '80s.
588
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,079
Duncan's still with him.
He's keeping the pressure on.
589
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,239
And you told him no, right?
590
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,479
Well, Phillip Canter
is holding an unbeatable hand.
591
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,040
Really? What, five aces?
592
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,279
He claims he was approached by the
Attorney-General, Michael Lombardi,
593
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,560
to have someone killed.
594
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,800
He will testify to it in court.
595
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,839
Did he mention the name
of his intended murder victim?
596
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,879
Yes, he did.
597
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,039
Ethan Derwent.
Works in Lombardi's office.
598
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,559
He's the senior adviser.
He's the anonymous source.
599
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,000
The leak.
600
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,719
He's Deep Throat.
Well, bugger me.
601
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,239
He was in the party when Lombardi
was in local government.
602
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,599
They've been working
together for years.
603
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,359
Phillip Canter. Does he track back?
Yes. Same party, same time.
604
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,439
He claims he's been doing
Lombardi's dirty work for years.
605
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,239
And even more interesting than that,
606
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,719
it was Lombardi,
while he was gaming minister,
607
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,479
that granted Canter
his online gaming licence
608
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,199
despite Canter having
a criminal record.
609
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,959
Quid pro bloody quo.
610
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,440
We need to talk.
611
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,159
Well. This could be it.
612
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,640
You could be off the hook.
613
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,839
I say we take Lombardi
off at the knees.
614
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,359
Shaft the prick there it hurts!
615
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,279
But what about Phillip Canter?
616
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,599
The man is a murderer.
We let him walk...
617
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,599
Nah, look. We've only got Canter
on a conspiracy to murder charge.
618
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,239
He gets lucky with a judge,
he may not even do jail time.
619
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,080
Maybe so, but what you're suggesting
is not what Homicide stands for.
620
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,399
Stanley's right.
621
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,359
I can't believe what
I'm hearing here.
622
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,399
This is a gift. It's a GIFT!
623
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,919
We can put Lombardi
out of the picture once and for all!
624
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,479
We thought we had him
with Dane Majors and Bruce Dalton
625
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,120
and he squeezed out of that one.
626
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,520
Up to you, Bernice.
627
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,839
We're talking about
the future of Homicide here.
628
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,719
Which could be tainted forever
if we let murderers walk away.
629
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,999
We cannot set that precedent.
Stan.
630
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,599
You're missing the big picture.
631
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,520
I am seeing the big picture.
632
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,360
We need a decision here.
633
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Bring Ethan Derwent in. Now.
634
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,399
Yes. I'm the senior adviser to the
Attorney-General, Michael Lombardi.
635
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,879
Look...
636
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,679
..whatever this is about,
you're making a big mistake.
637
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,719
Well, no. I think you're making
a big mistake, Ethan.
638
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,879
Telling secrets about your boss.
Feeding information to the press.
639
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,839
I don't know
what you're talking about.
640
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,319
Mr Derwent.
641
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,999
The first thing
you should understand
642
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,999
is that you are among friends here.
643
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,439
Friends?
644
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,559
I was hauled out of bed and shoved
in the back of a police car.
645
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,839
For your own safety, son.
646
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,679
You're in deep doo-doo,
only you just don't know it.
647
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,759
I told you. I don't know
what you're talking about.
648
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,599
Let me make it crystal clear.
649
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,199
We believe
you're the person responsible
650
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,799
for feeing information
to the newspapers
651
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,799
to incriminate your boss, Michael
Lombardi, in the Dane Majors case.
652
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,399
There's just no way I'd do that.
653
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,079
I'd be sacked in an instant
and I'd never get to work again.
654
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,519
Juliette Gardiner
will never breathe again.
655
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,639
Yeah, she took a bullet for you.
656
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,159
So, show some respect please, Ethan.
657
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,839
Just listen.
658
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,559
You also provided information
to the police.
659
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,599
Specifically the Homicide squad.
660
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,879
Unfortunately, we were unable
to prove any of the allegations
661
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,400
against Michael Lombardi.
662
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,719
I'm sorry, but you're wrong.
663
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,439
I deny all of this.
664
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,280
You can deny all you want,
but your boss doesn't believe you.
665
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,199
What's that supposed to mean?
666
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,119
We've got firsthand knowledge that
Michael Lombardi recently attempted
667
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,999
to hire someone
to have you murdered.
668
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,360
Put you in a shallow grave in the
back of woop woop, in other words.
669
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,279
That's a joke, right?
670
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,759
We have the man
that Michael Lombardi approached.
671
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,879
He's in custody
and he's confessed to everything.
672
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,039
It's on tape.
673
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,639
Ethan, we are trying to help you.
674
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,399
But you need to help us as well.
675
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,999
We want Lombardi on a skewer.
676
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,120
We think you can do that for us.
677
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,919
Come back later, Ethan - I'm busy.
678
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,599
Sorry - this needs
to be dealt with now.
679
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,919
What needs to be dealt with?
680
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,400
I need to give you this.
681
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,039
It's my resignation.
682
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,679
I can't do this anymore, Michael.
683
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,479
You can't do what?
684
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,039
Right from the very beginning,
685
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,279
I believed you'd be the one
who could make a difference.
686
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,799
Well, I am making a difference.
We're making a difference.
687
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,119
No, you're only interested
in becoming the next premier.
688
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,599
Well, of course.
689
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,319
Haven't we always said
that's the goal?
690
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,199
That's how we can make
lasting changes in people's lives.
691
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,199
With me in the top job,
we can do that.
692
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,439
You keep saying 'we' and 'us'.
693
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,480
It's not about us anymore, Michael -
it's only about you gaining power.
694
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,399
Look, don't be naive.
695
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,039
You need power to achieve anything -
you know that.
696
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,439
All those years... all those years
while we worked in the backrooms,
697
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,119
slaving, gaining support,
698
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,599
getting the numbers -
699
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,719
I believed in you, Michael.
700
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,560
Yes, and look where we are now.
701
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,119
Ethan, I couldn't have
done it without you.
702
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,639
You would have
done it with anyone
703
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,359
who was prepared
to put aside their principles
704
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,119
and turned a blind eye
to corruption.
705
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,799
Whoa! Come... now, look.
706
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,279
Steady on there, Ethan.
707
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,519
Them's mighty harsh words.
708
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,999
Do you remember?
709
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,359
Do you remember
your speech to the faithful
710
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,839
after we lost the '98 election?
711
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,319
You were inspirational.
712
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,719
Thank you.
I believed it - I still do.
713
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,959
You're a hypocrite.
714
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,879
You're the senior law officer
in this state and you're a crook.
715
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,119
You conspired to plant false
evidence in the Dane Majors case.
716
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,119
Don't give me the bleeding heart
about Dane Majors.
717
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,559
He was a multiple murderer.
He wasn't when you framed him.
718
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,439
He had to be convicted. Come on,
everyone knew he was rotten.
719
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,239
You framed an innocent man!
He was going to get off.
720
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,759
I took on the most famous cricketer
in the country. I had to win.
721
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,238
If I'd lost, do you think
I'd ever be Attorney-General?
722
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,839
You think I'd ever be premier?
723
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,639
So that justifies what you did?
724
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:34,638
Dalton understood.
725
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,360
He did what I told him,
and planted the golf club.
726
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,399
And don't tell me you wouldn't
have done the same thing.
727
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,238
Gold!
728
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,880
You tried to hire someone
to have me killed.
729
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,599
Michael Lombardi,
you're under arrest.
730
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,799
On what charge?
Perverting the course of justice.
731
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,919
And conspiracy
to murder Mr Derwent here.
732
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,079
Turn around, please.
733
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,079
There'll be no charges.
You have no evidence.
734
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,679
I said turn around.
I'm the Attorney-General.
735
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,799
You are the Attorney-General
who's been recorded on a wire.
736
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,840
Ethan.
737
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,599
Yes, and such beautiful diction.
738
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,159
Thanks, Detective.
Ma'am.
739
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,199
Michael Lombardi, I must inform you
that you're not obliged to say...
740
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,559
Big boys' games, Michael,
big boys' rules.
741
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,479
Surely you're grown up enough
to understand that.
742
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,759
..may be given in evidence.
743
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,959
Well done, young fella. Come on.
744
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,279
Least you could have done
was kick him in the balls.
745
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,520
I haven't even started yet, Terry.
746
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,239
Sensational developments
at Spring Street today -
747
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,519
the Attorney-General,
Michael Lombardi,
748
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,599
has been arrested
by the Homicide squad.
749
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,800
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
750
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,920
OK, alright, alright.
Listen up, please.
751
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,559
Obviously
I can't officially comment
752
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,399
on the future
of the Attorney-General.
753
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,079
But between these four walls...
754
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,759
I can tell you
he is going down.
755
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,119
Look, I just wanna say
I'm immensely proud of all of you,
756
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,199
and humbled, actually, by the, um...
757
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,119
..the tenacity and the courage
758
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,160
and the dignity
that you have all shown...
759
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,959
..through some
really challenging times.
760
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,359
And I think today,
more than any other day,
761
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,399
there is no greater honour
762
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,079
than to serve
as member of the Homicide squad!
763
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,719
And finally, I'm very relieved
764
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:37,319
that I don't have to arrange for the
transfer of so many fine detectives.
765
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,319
That's because nobody else'd
have the bastards.
766
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,480
That's true!
767
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,319
Stanley,
I know it sticks in all our craws
768
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,959
that we've gotta let
Phillip Canter walk,
769
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,239
but, you know, really,
what was the alternative?
770
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,879
We live to fight another day.
771
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,079
Don't fret, Stan.
772
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,839
Never be a cold case.
773
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,359
So now we don't have to
look for other jobs. You happy?
774
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,239
Yeah, I didn't know
what I was gonna do.
775
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,480
No, me either.
I like this place.
776
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,479
He is gonna make a good cop.
777
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Yeah, well, it helps when you've got
friends and family in high places.
778
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,639
You don't know, do you?
What?
779
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,279
He got offered a way out -
780
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,800
a chance to join a task force,
and he knocked it back.
781
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Hey.
Hey.
782
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,799
Looks like we're gonna be around
for a while yet.
783
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,880
Yeah - it was a good result,
wasn't it?
784
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,839
You don't lock up
the Attorney-General
785
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,320
and save Homicide every day.
786
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,960
See you, Allie.
787
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,920
Hey...
788
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,560
Are you coming for a drink, Oxford?
789
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,239
Guess who. Come in.
790
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,879
Thought you could slip away,
did you?
791
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,959
Well, you found me.
792
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,639
I'm a good detective.
793
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,120
Ha.
794
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,399
You're never gonna get
these renovations finished now.
795
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Some things take time.
796
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,759
No second thoughts?
797
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,519
No. No second thoughts.
798
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,799
We're both in Homicide now.
799
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,479
Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
800
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,639
He made a statement yet?
Yeah.
801
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,919
He said that he shot Canter
'cause he murdered his daughter.
802
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,719
You got the murder weapon?
Yeah, it's already been bagged.
803
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,119
Well, he'll probably
confess to the murders
804
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,039
of the other three witnesses as well.
805
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,239
Closure for all those families.
806
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:00,680
Yeah, well, that's
what Homicide's all about, Stan.
807
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,320
It's why we exist.
808
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,599
Hi.
Hi.
809
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,159
Everything's gonna be OK.
810
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,319
Breathe.
811
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,399
That's enough, sir. That's enough!
812
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,199
No appreciation for, the arts.
