Original subtitles

[Harrow] Previously onHarrow:

[Chester] I left you flowers

because I'm the one who shot you.

[Pavich] I let you go back to work too early after the shootings.

Are you self-medicating?

[Fairley] There was a string of murders

all linked to him.

And Harrow found the evidence to convict him?

Harrow and Pavich found propofol

in the liver tissue of the female victims.

[incinerator roaring]

Could we be looking at the wrong body?

There's nothing to prove any of this.

You're a coward.

Dr Harrow asked to exhume Francis' body.

I said no.

Harrow, get the hell out of there!

I'm telling you, he's alive!

-What are we looking for? -Anything to indicate it's the same body.

-This is Francis Chester. -So Dr Harrow got it wrong.

So it seems.

Those records have been altered!

That's impossible.

[Grace] We can compare the DNA

with Chester's original arrest swab

-from 15 years ago. -[grunts]

[Chester] You can either try and stop me,

or you can try and save the boy.

[injection hisses]

[Harrow] Chester's alive,

and I will end this.

[clock chimes]

[ticking]

[footsteps]

The mail's arrived?

Yes.

Is it about Francis?

Maurice?

He's lost his final appeal.

Oh.

[footsteps]

[clock chiming]

[disquieting music]

[theme music]

-[heart monitor beeps] -Vitals are stable now.

[Nichols] Okay. We'll have an officer outside the door.

What the hell's going on, Bryan?

You don't seriously think I'm making this up?!

This is serious, Harrow. If Callan had died,

you'd be up for manslaughter at least.

I saved him! Chester did that!

Francis Chester is dead.

He's alive!

Why would I hurt Callan?

Look, I want to trust you, I do,

but, frankly I got nothing to go on here!

Chester injected a paralytic into Callan's drip line.

Test the drip line.

Hospital staff cleaned it up

before it could be tested.

Look, if we checked Callan's blood,

would the drug show up there?

The sux would have metabolised by now.

[elevator bell rings]

Dan, come here.

Are you using any controlled

or illegal substances at the moment?

[sighs] The propofol.

I told you, Chester injected me.

I found these on your boat.

I know, but I didn't put those there.

Your DNA was on the needle.

Then it must have been the syringe

that Chester used on me at the cemetery!

He planted it on the Bettie!

Look, Dan, a lot of people in our line of work

use substances to help them cope.

I'm not using!

I'm being set up, Bryan.

[ominous music]

Where's Fern? Is she okay?

Her moped's over the road. She's not inside.

-Oh, god-- -Harrow!

She's in danger.

There's police everywhere, that's probably why she--

Why would she have left her moped?

She's missing! Bryan, please, you've got to help!

I'll see what I can do.

But you stay put. You're in enough trouble as it is.

Okay?

Okay?!

Okay.

Jo?

I need an urgent meeting with Superintendent Crowley.

Can you sort that out for me, please?

-Yes, Sergeant. -Thank you.

[elevator bell rings]

Hey--

[ominous music]

Daniel. What happened?

I didn't hurt Callan.

Of course not. But where's Fern?

She's not inside.

No one has seen her.

We have to find her.

You think Chester has her?

-I don't know. -Oh, my god.

What can we do?

Are-- Are the police doing anything?

Stay on Nichols.

He doesn't believe me, but he might listen to you.

Well, what are you going to do?

I have to find something to prove that Chester's alive.

[Grace] ...succinylcholine,

which as you know metabolises into succinic acid.

And, look, succinic acid was found

in Chester's three male victims.

And also in the chemist, Tim Markides, and Simon.

The same amount in each victim.

Yes, an amount so small,

it would never convince a jury.

Well, I'm not trying to convince a jury.

Grace, what do you want?

I don't know, but if we can somehow show

that Simon and the chemist were injected, maybe...

You can prove that Harrow was right,

and Francis Chester is actually alive?

Or prove conclusively that he's wrong.

Right now, Daniel is being interviewed by the police.

He put Callan Prowd's life in danger last night!

And your uncle and I are off to argue to a tribunal

why Daniel should be allowed to continue practicing medicine.

-Ready? -Yes.

You've ordered a DNA test on the body Harrow dug up.

That should tell us everything we need to know.

Meanwhile, I am three key staff down,

so would you please just do your job?

Tribunal?

The day was bound to come.

[officer] Step into this room here, sir.

You let Harrow go.

Well, I felt I didn't have cause to detain him.

Even though he endangered the life of a patient in Intensive Care?

He claimed someone else tampered with Mr Prowd's meds.

-Any proof of that? -No.

And I believe Harrow is suspended from the morgue

pending an investigation into his attempt to exhume a body.

Not just any body. It was Francis Chester.

Look, boss,

I know how it sounds,

There have been a lot

of very concerning circumstances surrounding Harrow,

and now his daughter Fern is missing.

Well, has she got form for going missing?

Yes.

Ma'am.

Thank you.

-Okay. -What?

A psychiatrist and magistrate have just agreed

that Dr Harrow poses a threat to himself and to others,

and an Involuntary Treatment Order has just been issued...

Come on, boss!

...stating clearly that he's to be detained on sight

and transferred to the Mental Health Unit at Southside.

[scoffs] But what about--

Bryan, I respect that you care for Dr Harrow.

But by the sounds of it, he's gone off the rails.

And he'll get all the help that he needs at Southside.

Bring him in, Bryan.

Dr Fairley?

Yes.

Um, it took a while, but...

Thank you.

It's a pretty old file.

What exactly is it that you're looking for?

The name of a family dentist.

Yes, I'm chasing an urgent DNA sample for cross-reference?

Chester, Francis Andrew?

Sure, yes. Look, I know it normally takes that long,

but it's--

Fine, I understand, but

if it can happen sooner, call me. Thanks.

DNA?

Another 48 hours.

What's going on?

Have you checked your email?

No. Why?

[Grace] Oh, shit.

[Hinton] Please state your name.

Dr Maxine Aleksandra Pavich.

Thank you, Dr Pavich.

As you know, this hearing--

-Yes, I know what it's for. -Okay, then.

I see you've brought in some documentation.

Yes. Uh, post-mortems Dr Harrow has performed since 1997

and transcripts of evidence he's given at various courts

as an expert witness.

None of that will be necessary.

Well, what do you want?

We want you to explain why a psychiatric evaluation

conducted soon after Dr. Harrow's shooting

recommended he not return to work,

yet you ignored that

and let him recommence.

[knock on door]

Not now!

Oh, my god.

Are those girls that Chester killed?

You do know that Fern's missing, right?

-We don't know that. -This is what he'll do to her!

Why are you not looking for her?!

-Why are you not-- -Steph. Steph!

Right now we're focusing on finding your ex-husband.

Oh, please. Dan would never hurt Callan.

You know that!

It's how it looks, Steph.

And what about Fern?

Chester tried to get her on Daniel's boat.

How can you not believe that?!

I do! I'm her mother!

I know when she's lying and when she's not.

I honestly don't know where to start looking for a dead man, Steph.

Have you spoken to his mother?

Yes, and she's just as damaged

by what her son did as everyone else.

Let me speak to her.

Look!

Please, Steph, just go home.

Just leave it with me.

I'm doing everything I can.

Constable,

escort Miss Tolson outside, please.

-[knocks echoing] -Hello! Police!

[clock ticking]

[footsteps]

[disquieting music]

[Nichols] Good morning! Police!

[Nichols walking away]

[ominous music]

[Dr Biggs] Unfortunately, we had some water problems here eight years ago,

and a lot of the older files got damaged.

Whose records are you looking for?

Francis Chester.

I had him as a patient from age six

to maybe... 12?

He wanted to be called Frank,

but his father insisted on Francis.

Did you ever meet Maurice Chester?

No.

A very accomplished generalist surgeon.

A very... serious man.

Ah.

A bit ruined.

Ask me about any other patient from that long ago,

and I couldn't tell you about their teeth.

But I can tell what this boy's would have shown.

One of his adult pre-molars gone.

Gone?

Knocked out

by his father Maurice Chester.

His mother brought him in one night.

The boy's mouth was bleeding like a stuck pig.

And she...

I'm pretty sure she had bruising around her throat.

Francis asked me--

begged me-- not to send him home again.

But what choice did I have?

[Hinton] Please state your name for the purpose of the record.

Dr Lyle Ridgewell Livingston Fairley.

Thanks for your time, Doctor.

One of the issues this tribunal is investigating

is that the behaviour of Dr Harrow

has put himself, others, and the reputation

of the state coronial system at risk.

Ha!

Can you elucidate?

I think you'd have to be more specific.

All right.

In July 2008,

Dr Harrow provoked a knife fight with a parolee

and was subsequently hospitalized

for nearly two weeks at the expense of the department.

Yes. I remember.

How many post-mortems

could Dr Harrow have conducted in that time?

Oh, 30 or more, easy.

-So who did them? -I had to!

And this is far from atypical behaviour?

Exactly.

Harrow's always doing that kind of thing.

So you agree Dr Harrow is a problem?

Certainly not.

The thing with that knife incident

is that a young boy had been stabbed to death just a week previous,

and another young boy had gone missing.

Harrow was sure it was that man and that knife,

but the evidence was insufficient.

So he took it upon himself to confront the man

and provoke him into pulling the knife.

Reckless.

Very.

But he did this deliberately in front of a council camera.

The result is that the attacker was convicted

and a young life was saved.

Of course it was reckless and against the rules.

But the rules don't always embrace

how things sometimes need to be done now.

Without consultation.

With care only for a boy who needed saving.

Harrow shouldn't have done it.

He shouldn't have had to do it.

But he did it.

I can't tell you what to do.

But I can say this--

if you take away that doctor's ability to do his job,

we'll all be the poorer for it.

[Harrow] Hi.

Do you know what's going on?

Anyone who sees you is supposed to call Security.

There's an Involuntary Treatment Order out for you.

I'm not surprised.

Nichols also knows the results of my blood test.

Propofol.

So are you using?

If you are, it's okay. I mean, I understand.

I've thought about it, too.

No. I'm not.

I didn't inject the propofol.

But I know who did.

I've got something to show you.

[suspenseful music]

Can you bring up the CT scan of the burned body's teeth?

What are those? Old dental films?

Where did you get them?

I visited Chester's childhood dentist.

When he was 12,

Chester's lower second pre-molar on the right

was knocked out of his mouth by his father.

His permanent pre-molar?

This skull still has it.

The lower second pre-molar.

It's not a denture or an implant?

No. That is a healthy adult tooth.

Because the body in the cold room is not Chester.

Those old films, they're not clear.

-I know. -And it could be a mistake.

The dentist you got it from might have misfiled them.

I know.

Or...

Chester somehow swapped his health records

for that guy in the cold room.

Yes.

-[knock on door] -[man] Dr Molyneux?

Oh, shit.

[knock on door]

Dr Molyneux?

-Hi, Glen. -Hey, Doc.

Uh, Julie here says that she saw Dr Harrow come in here.

Really?

Julie, do you mind?

Seriously, Glen, don't you think if Harrow was here...

-Shh shh. Listen. -...I would have...

I like Doc Harrow, too.

Once, he gave mouth-to-mouth to Fuzznuts.

-Hmm? -My cat.

Saved his life.

Then.

But I still need to look in there, okay?

Fine.

Okay, you were right.

He's not in there.

Dr Molyneux, can you open the Archive Room for me, please?

[phone rings]

[rings]

[rings]

[Chester] Dr Harrow, I know it's you.

Is my daughter alive?

Yes. For now.

What do you want?

I want you.

What do you want me to do?

I'm parked behind the Institute.

Why don't you come out and say hi.

There are security guards out in the corridors right now.

Why don't I just tell them that you're here?

Well, you could.

But if you do tell, I'll know.

And if you're not out here,

alone, in two minutes,

you will never know what happened to Fern.

-If you hurt her. -One minute, 55 seconds.

One minute, 54 seconds...

[sighs]

I have to go.

What's going on?

Just show this to Nichols.

What are you going to do?

No security guards?

No. Just me.

Just you.

Lovely.

[ominous music]

Jo, give us a moment, please.

So where is he?

I let him go.

Have you got any proof?

It's so thin, you could shave with it.

What?

[Grace] Not all the dental records match.

[Chester] This is nice, isn't it?

Having a moment to chat.

This is a mistake, Francis.

Another mistake.

Another?

You made a mistake not killing me with that first shot.

You made another killing Simon.

Another threatening my daughter.

And what are you going to do about it?

[laughing]

All this grief.

To hurt me? Why?

It was the police who caught you.

The DPP who prosecuted you. The judge who sentenced you.

So why me?

How did you find the propofol?

In the dead girls. How did you find it?

The police found propofol at your house.

Uh-huh. Because I used it to help my mother sleep.

And I found propofol in your female victims.

Why are you asking? You injected it!

Because I didn't.

I didn't.

Succinylcholine for the boys, sure,

because I knew there'd be no substantial trace post-mortem.

But propofol?

I never injected propofol into those girls.

Yet you miraculously found

traces of propofol in their liver tissue.

You presented that evidence.

You convinced the jury.

You put me away,

because you planted the propofol.

Well done.

Well done.

[dramatic music]

-You know, at times like this-- -Don't.

Okay.

[Hinton] It's unfortunate that Dr Harrow

has neglected to appear in order to state his case.

But we've heard sufficient evidence,

and it is our unanimous decision

to recommend to the Board of Forensic Surgeons

that Dr Daniel Harrow be struck immediately from the register.

[Harrow] Mr Lincoln roses.

[disquieting music]

[engine stops]

You've been staying here?

You begged Dr Biggs not to send you back here.

And yet he did.

That's how you found out about the exhumation.

Louise, please.

Call the police.

End this now!

It's too late.

[clock ticking]

[Chester] Dr Harrow?

[ominous music]

Fern!

Dad! No!

The male victims were injected with sux...

and female victims injected with propofol.

How'd you go with the samples.

I got most of them.

Most of them? What do you mean?

There's some missing.

Presume you heard about Daniel being struck off.

There was nothing I could do.

He's made his own bed.

I don't think he did.

Histology slides for Chester's female victims.

Liver, lung, and brain tissue.

Mm-hmm.

It was in these liver tissue samples

that Harrow found traces of propofol.

And it resulted in Chester's conviction.

But if there was propofol found in the liver,

it should also have been found in the brain tissue.

But the brain tissue samples are gone.

I think it's because someone discovered at the trial

that Chester had been in possession of propofol,

so that same someone added propofol

to the liver tissue samples to convict him.

But they forgot to add it to the brain tissue.

And when Harrow started poking around about Chester,

that someone remembered those brain tissue samples.

If that were found, it could all come unstuck.

Impossible to alter them now, so...

easier to just get rid of them

and put their absence down to bad housekeeping.

And you were worried you weren't going to make a good pathologist.

Chester was a monster,

the way he killed all those young couples.

There wasn't going to be a conviction.

He was going to keep on killing and get away with it.

I had to do something.

So you set Harrow up to perjure himself.

No. Harrow was telling what he believed to be the truth.

I was the liar.

I think Chester is alive.

It's impossible.

The DNA will be back soon on the body Harrow dug up.

Then we'll know.

But you have to admit what you did.

[line ringing]

You've called Bryan Nichols.

Please leave a message...

-[tapping] -[Harrow groans]

Hey.

Feeling better?

Aw, don't worry.

That was just a little dose of propofol.

You know all about that, right?

And now...

succinylcholine.

Please, let her go!

Fern, succinylcholine,

it's quite a clever little paralytic.

It imitates the action of acetylcholine.

That's a neurotransmitter that makes our muscles move.

Now, when sux is administered,

it makes every muscle in the patient's body twitch

to the point where it can no longer respond to any other stimulation.

The patient can no longer move.

He can no longer talk.

All he can do

is watch.

Because that's all you could do, wasn't it?

While your father was hurting your mother in front of you.

Choking her.

But you were just a little boy.

So what else could you do?

Nothing.

You couldn't even move.

That's right.

[ominous music]

[coughs]

[whimpering]

Every time I did this,

every time I made a young man freeze

while I did this,

I'd get to imagine what it was like to be him.

[Fern sobs]

Frank, please.

Why you, you asked.

Because you put me in prison.

-[muffled scream] -And I was in there when he died.

So I couldn't do this to him!

-Just like he did to you, Mum. -I know.

Your father died of respiratory failure, didn't he, Frank?

Yeah. Why?

Who does the gardening?

[choking]

You do.

Don't you, Louise?

I saw the roses.

But I also saw the Monkshood.

Aconitum napellus.

Highly toxic.

If ingested, its only post-mortem sign

is asphyxia.

She grew them so she could kill your father.

[gasping]

Mum?

[suspenseful music]

[Harrow] She's lying, Frank.

She wanted him dead just as much as you.

[frightened] No, darling.

[Harrow] And when you lost your last appeal,

she poisoned him.

Did you?

[Louise] Oh, darling.

[Chester] But why?

Why?

[crying] The way hurt me,

and I was scared that if I--

if I fought him and I failed, then he'd hurt you.

But why didn't you kill him when I was a kid?

Why didn't you protect me?!

-Aah! -[Harrow groans]

[groaning]

Dad!

[Louise] Stay there, Francis.

Louise, don't let him close!

You took from me the one thing that I needed.

To kill him.

[crying] But you...

You would never have done it.

You would never have done it because...

Now, look, he's dead, and you're still scared of him!

Mum?

-[Louise crying] -No.

[Harrow] Louise, no.

[crying] Oh, my god.

Ohh!

-[gunshot] -[Louise gasps]

[groans]

You took something to counteract the sux,

didn't you?

BChE.

Butyrylcholinesterase. That's clever.

Your heart must be having a hell of a time, though.

-[Harrow groans] -Dad!

Yeah. It's coming now.

Thanks very much, kid. Appreciate it, mate.

Come on, come on, come on.

[suspenseful music]

Is that it?

[Grace] Yeah. DNA from the National Database.

Okay.

[click]

[Edwina] They don't match.

That's because that body in the cold room is not Francis Chester.

Let's finish this.

[lays down gun]

I understand.

You understand what?

-How it changes. -What changes?

Fear.

To anger.

I know how it feels to be young and afraid.

My step-father hurt me.

So much.

I was terrified.

For me and for my mother.

I wanted to die,

except I was scared of what he'd do to her.

So, eventually,

that fear, it changed.

It became anger.

I wasn't afraid of him.

I wanted to kill him.

But before I could,

someone else did.

So now I'll never get to fix that part of me that's broken,

because he took away my chance to make it right.

So I understand.

Ooh!

Ohh!

[choking]

[Harrow groans]

[Chester shouting]

Get off him!

[cocks hammer]

You can't.

Shut up!

One more word, and I will shoot you!

-[Harrow] Fern. -[Fern] No!

-No! -Bub?

He shot you!

He killed Simon.

Callan...

[Harrow] I know how you feel.

I want the same thing.

Let me do it.

[Harrow] I can't stop you.

You have the gun.

But, bub, I've done what you want to do.

And it's always there.

Always.

I don't want that for you.

You could do this, yes.

But not doing it doesn't mean he wins.

Because it's your choice.

-Yours. -[crying]

Bub, please.

[sombre music]

I'll call the police.

[dramatic music]

[sirens]

Excuse me.

All right, put him in.

Watch his head.

Wait!

Harrow, you can't.

I think I've earned it.

Give Dr Harrow a moment.

I got out before.

I'll get out again.

"Bub, I've done what it is you want to do."

I can't wait to tell everybody

you're a killer, too.

No one would believe you.

Hmm.

One more thing.

This is for Simon.

[crushing rose]

[groans]

[engine starts]

Harrow?

I'm sorry.

No.

You believed me.

Can I talk to her?

Yeah, yeah.

Look, I need a formal statement from you soon.

We want everything watertight for his trial.

Absolutely.

Sorry, Dr Harrow. Nichols insisted.

Nichols, what's going on?

This young man was found dead about an hour ago.

What's it got to do with me?

Found his passport in his pocket.

Your name is down as his emergency contact.

And there was a note.

He claimed he was your son.
