All language subtitles for City Homicide s05e03 If It Bleeds, It Leads.eng

Previously on City Homicide...

Dane Majors.

Yeah, you always
get your man, don't you?

Is that the guy
who killed his wife? Cricket legend?

Bashed his wife's head in
with a golf club?

Five iron.

Juliette Gardiner, the 'Tribune'.
I'm doing a feature on Dane Majors.

So you're saying Bruce Dalton
and Nick Buchanan set you up?

They planted evidence.

That evidence, it was straight-up.

Now, you ought to know, mate,
because you found it.

After you sent me there.

She said she had information
that evidence was planted.

I told her she was dreaming.

(WHISPERS) Nick Buchanan,
he's not as clean as you think.

If I were you,
I'd go back to the source

and make them tell you exactly where
they're getting their info from.

(PHONE RINGS)

What have you got for me?
(GUNSHOT)

(RAPID GUNFIRE)

It's OK, Juliette. It's gonna be OK.

(SIREN WAILS)

MATT: Radio for more cars.
I want all entrances sealed off.

No-one gets in or out,

and we need more people to
search the place - every floor.

You're wasting your time.
Whoever shot her took off.

OK, work with uniforms,

there's nothing we can do until
Crime Scene and Pathology arrive.

I'll talk to security.
Shots came from over there.

You OK?
Been better.

You want this?

Evidence bag.

It hasn't been fired.

So what did you see, Nick?

She met someone - a man, I think.

I didn't sight him.

They just started to talk
and... there was a shot.

A bunch of shots.
A bunch?

Four. First shot took her down.

I heard a car door slam,
I came running down the ramp.

I didn't see any one.

I... I want my hands
swabbed for residue.

We don't want
any unanswered questions here, Matt.

Juliette was working on a story that
might implicate me in corruption.

Bloody hell.

I should have seen this coming, Jen.

So, Buchanan, enlighten me.

I was following Juliette.

I was trying to work out
who was feeding her information

about the Dane Majors case.

That was the '10 Long Years in Jail'
story, wasn't it?

Yeah. Turned out
to be a bit more than that.

And you decided to check it out?

Mapplethorpe. Take Dick Tracy
here back down to Homicide.

Put him in an interview room.

Nobody talks to him
till I get there.

Sir.
Problem with that?

No, sir.

That's good,
'cause I'm covering your arse here.

Sir, there's nothing to help us
except the mobile phone,

which was found
in the driver's seat.

Calls?
The phone's locked.

Techs'll have to get into it.

According to Nick,
Juliette met up with someone

before being shot at
by a third party.

OK. What do we think?

There were four shell casings found
over there next to the exit door.

Now, that proves the fact

that the person she was
meeting up with wasn't the shooter.

Buchanan's gun - clean?

And he's volunteered to
have his hands swabbed.

OK.

You two head over
to the newspaper offices,

get hold of Little Ms Stickybeak's
files, notebooks, computer.

Right. Let's go.

Sergeant here and I have
got an interview to conduct.

We started with all the formalities

because this is a formal interview,
Detective Buchanan.

Understood?
Understood.

JARVIS: Already been tested
for gun residue?

Yes.

And we're awaiting the results of
those tests.

They'll be negative.
I haven't fired my gun.

OK.

Detective Buchanan,
could you explain to us

why you were in the car park
next to Juliette Gardiner's body?

We were in a relationship.

Well, not a relationship,
a, uh... fling, I guess.

Sexual relationship?
That's right.

We slept together a couple of times,
I knocked it on the head.

Why?

Came face-to-face with the journo.

She had an agenda.

What was her angle
on the Dane Majors case?

She thought he'd been set up -
by police.

Set up how?

She thought Dalton and I
had planted the murder weapon.

Did she say who her source was?
No. She refused to.

Which is when you decided
to start following her

to find out who she was talking to -

an unauthorised surveillance.

Yes, unfortunately.

Very unfortunately.

Did you find out who her source was?
No.

Or if she was right?

Detective Buchanan...

..was the Majors investigation
tainted?

I don't know.

You don't know,
or you're not prepared to say?

I don't know.

Crime Scene searched the house,
the murder weapon wasn't found.

We were well into the trial

before I was sent back
to search again - bingo.

I found the golf club
in the roof's crawl space.

Handy.

No reason then
to think it wasn't kosher.

And now?
Now?

Now I think Juliette was killed

because she was
getting too close to the truth.

Somebody wanted to stop that story.

He's gonna be stood down,
isn't he, ma'am?

He'll be suspended. (CLEARS THROAT)

Alright, well, we're gonna need
everything that Juliette had.

Oh, she had a half-eaten ham, cheese
and tomato in the fridge -

do you want that?

Alright, Tim.

We need her computer, her files

and any notepads
she might've been using.

Sure.
Yeah, just take 'em off her desk.

Great - which one is that?
Um... I can't remember.

Look, we can get a warrant,

and then you'll be forced
to give us everything anyway.

I wouldn't count my chickens
on that score, Detectives.

I'm Alan Sullivan, editor here.

Is this supposed to be a shakedown,
or a death knock?

Police radio's been going crazy.

The word is
a reporter's been killed.

No way.

We can't give any information
at this point. I'm sorry.

Oh, come on - you're Homicide.

Someone's been shot -
a female reporter.

Now our Juliette Gardiner's
missing in action.

She was sent out on a story and
she's not answering her phone, so...

And again, we can't comment.

This is a Homicide enquiry, but...
No, no, no.

This is a member of my staff

and I've got every bloody right
to know whether she's been killed.

We can't give you any details
on the deceased

until we've contacted next-of-kin.

Is it Juliette or not?

Now, you say that
she had a meeting tonight.

Do you know who that was with?
No bloody idea.

And since you're here asking,

I reckon this does
have something to do with Juliette,

and you've got
no bloody idea either, have you?

So why don't you just go away -

we'll find out for ourselves
what's happening.

Hey! Come on.

We'll be back with that warrant.
Yeah, yeah. Good luck with that.

Get into her computer -

this has have something to do
with the Dane Majors thing.

Now, if it's worth killing for, she
must have been on to something big.

I'm on it.

(GROANS) Bloody brilliant -
now I'm down a reporter.

But, boss...

My slate's clear. I could take over.

You wanna have a piece of this case,

even though Gardiner
probably took a bullet for it?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

OK, good.
For Christ's sake, wear a jacket.

Try to look like you mean it.
You're in the big time now, boy.

I can't give you any information.
Oh, come on, Bernie - this is me.

We go back to when I was police
roundsman, as green as Tim here...

And I was just a humble detective.
Play another card, Alan.

And given your long experience,

you should know better than
to ask me for details.

This is a murder investigation.

We wanna know if it's Juliette.
Shut up, Tim.

The paper's just like
this place, Bernie.

It's a family
and we're missing one of our family.

You of all people
should understand how that feels.

Yeah, alright.
As a courtesy... to you.

Bugger off, Tim.

Go on.

My condolences, Alan - it is
Juliette Gardiner who's been killed.

But before you ask me,
I don't have any details.

You must have some information.
Sketchy.

And funnily enough, you're
sounding more like a newspaperman

than a family member.

I won't play the game.
I mentored that girl.

She was like a daughter...

For goodness sake,
you are digging for a story

and I am not going to give you one.

OK, I may be after a story, but
you're protecting one of your own -

Nick Buchanan.

Oh, she's a bit of
a headmistress, isn't she?

Mind you, the position, the power.

It's kind of... kind of hot.
Please stop talking.

Hey, there's nothing wrong
with older women, mate.

Look, Jules and I
were like that, you know?

You owe me the truth, man -
is she dead or what?

Yeah, OK. OK. You probably don't
know - you're just a rookie.

Yeah, I get that.

What are you, like, 22?
I'm older than you are.

Oh, let's end this conversation
right now, shall we?

Juliette was digging
into the Dane Majors case.

What do you know about that?
Nothing.

As I told you, we are investigating
a murder - full stop.

Now, I suggest you leave.

Every time you people are backed
into a corner, you close ranks.

I'll say as much
in my editorial tomorrow.

You can bet on that.
You can bet on this.

If I have to, I will issue an
injunction against your newspaper

to stop any public speculation

about a murder investigation
that's only just begun.

Detective Levitt, will you escort
these gentlemen out of the building?

Public have a right to know.
(CHUCKLES)

Do you teach them
this platitudinous crap, Alan?

The public doesn't have
a right to know, young man,

not if what you're telling them
is speculation.

And if I have something concrete
to give you, you will get it.

Goodnight.

It's OK, Detective.
You don't have to show us out.

We do know the way.

Fine. Bye-bye, Detective.

What are you smirking about?

(CLEARS THROAT) Must've left it on.

Yeah, it's been running
since we went in there.

Tim Padgett,
that is highly unethical.

Still, I suppose it can't hurt
to listen to it.

I don't remember her using the words
"off the record".

I know it's late but we need
to work out strategies for tomorrow.

So where are we at?
The CCTV footage is a bust, Sarge.

Only useful bit

is our victim driving in with Nick
on her tail, dousing his lights.

The shell casings, they were 9mm.

Yeah, but both Nick's swab and gun
turned up clean, so...

So, first and foremost,
Nick's off the board.

He's not a suspect
in the actual shooting.

So why is he still on suspension?

The super's sorting a warrant
for Juliette's computer and notes

but I don't want us getting
totally fixated on her news story.

I want a check on her background,
professional and personal.

Yeah, but hold on. The story
has to be our main focus, surely.

I mean, there were four shots fired

and Nick said the first shots
took Juliette out.

So perhaps she wasn't even
the intended target.

Maybe it was her source.

Deep Throat.

OK, we'll call him 'Deep Throat'.

The Watergate informer
or the porn star?

Maybe an intended victim

or maybe a useful witness
to the murder of Juliette.

Well, either way, we need
to find him and talk to him.

What suspects do we have
for the shooting?

Well, Bruce Dalton. He was the lead
detective on the Majors case.

Juliette was talking about
evidence tampering.

So I'd say Dalton's got
the strongest motive so far.

Let's get him out of bed.

Are you up for a late one?
Looks like it.

None of you blokes
have a home to go to?

We just love our work,
Detective Senior Sergeant.

And I love my bed. So what's
so important that I'm not there?

Dane Majors.
(CHUCKLES) That old chestnut.

I thought that was
well and truly roasted.

It's popped up again in another
case, as you well know.

I'm a very busy man. I'm not across
everything that happens in this town.

So what are you talking about?
A reporter. Juliette Gardiner.

She's dead.
Ah. I see.

So that's why I'm here.

How was she killed?
She was shot.

And you think I have
something to do with that?

Did you?
Get a grip, Detective.

When did it happen?

Why don't you tell us
about your day first?

(LAUGHS) Well, OK.

Um... I got up, had some breakfast.
Cornflakes with banana on.

Very nice. (LAUGHS)
A cup of tea and, er...

Does that help?

First up, I went to the station.

Then I came and saw Buchanan.

Then I went straight
to Bacchus Marsh.

I got back and got your call.

And really, you know, not to put
too fine a point on it,

I'm a little pissed off that you
would drag me in here over that,

being a fellow member
and all, really.

As a fellow member,
I'm asking you to sit down.

Please.

Try looking at it
from our point of view.

Juliette Gardiner was talking about
irregularities

in the discovery of a murder weapon.

The five iron.

The one that Dane Majors said that
the investigative team planted.

Your team.
My team was straight-up.

You ask Buchanan.

Dane Majors' defence team
would do anything

to convince that court
he was innocent.

Juliette Gardiner
was looking into this case.

That's why she was killed.
You know that for sure, do you?

Hey?

You do some proper police work
and stop wasting my time.

Did you fill out your day book

detailing this investigation
you were on today?

Now, you listen to me,
you smarmy, jumped-up little prick.

I filled out my day book
like I do every day

and no, not you or Flash Harry here
is going to get a look at it.

I told you what I did today and
I told you what I did 10 years ago.

So we're done.

About me and Juliette...
No, no.

We don't need
to talk about that, Nick,

other than from
a professional angle.

I know you feel guilty
about what happened to her.

But take some advice -
do not go rogue on this one.

You just... you just sit it out.
Mmm. Well.

I've done enough stupid things
already. I'll behave.

But I have got copies
of all the Dane Majors material.

Case notes, trial transcripts.
(CLEARS THROAT)

Can't see any harm
in going through them.

Can you?

How'd you get those?

Illegally.

If this murder was about the story
Juliette thought she had,

then the story is the key

and that has to be about the evidence
that turned up doing the trial,

in which case it focuses on me
and Bruce Dalton.

You know you acted in good faith.

I just can't believe
Bruce would be bent.

He was a...

..Stanley Wolfe to me.

A mentor, straight-shooter.

For him to plant evidence,
let alone murder Juliette...

OK. Maybe it's a good thing
for you to go over the paperwork.

Illegally obtained or not.

I guess you just have to
keep going after the truth...

..even if it turns out to be
something you don't want to know.

Guess so.

I've got to go.

Jen.

Goodnight.

See you.

"The public doesn't have
a right to know."

Commander Waverley.

Ouch.

Oh, ouch. Oh, yeah! You can bet Aunty
will be pissed off about that.

There's a lot of
word-for-word stuff in there

that suggests the bastards
were recording her.

Looks like any type of injunction's
a bit late now, sir?

Are you taking the piss, Freeman?

Because your mate Buchanan's knob
is on the block after this article.

And from this point on,

you can bet that
these newspaper bastards

are gonna try and make
all of Homicide look like black hats.

That's a declaration of war.

All the more reason to put this case
to bed ASAP, then, sir.

I've been speaking to some
of the editorial assistants

down at the 'Tribune'.

And?

Apparently Graham Proctor was
in at the newspaper a few days ago,

going nuts at Juliette for
stirring up the Dane Majors case.

Proctor?
Tahnee Majors' father.

Oh, and he didn't appreciate
Miss Stickybeak

trying to spring
his daughter's murderer from jail.

Put him on the list.

One of the assistants also said
she saw Graham Proctor again

on her way home, sitting inside his
car outside the newspaper office.

I threatened to sue her,
not kill her.

RHYS: So why were you
waiting outside?

I was hoping to talk to Sullivan,
her editor,

in a slightly calmer frame of mind.

I waited around for a bit
and then I went home.

Still angry?
Of course.

Dane Majors... murdered my daughter.

He beat her to death
with a golf club!

The biggest mistake she ever made
was marrying that bastard.

He was a womaniser and a wife-beater,

all of which came out at the trial.

I begged Tahnee to leave him
on countless occasions

but she always refused.

She loved him. (SCOFFS)

He was trying to change. Yes, right!

Big head. Big fists.

Do you own a gun?

No. No, I don't.

So where were you yesterday
from six o'clock on?

I told you - I went home.
I was upset!

I went home and I got drunk.

Were you alone?

Best way to get drunk, isn't it?

FREEMAN: Sarge, no luck
with Juliette's belongings.

We seized her computer,
no notebooks at her work

or any at her apartment.

Her boss probably hid them
if they're there.

I'd say so.

It was her visits to Dane Majors
that kicked this whole thing off.

Well, I'll go and see what he knows.

I know! I know she's dead.

Her mate from the paper
beat you to it.

Her mate? Was that Tim Padgett?

Cocky little runt!
Yeah, that sounds like Tim.

The one person who ever listened
to me and now she's been killed.

You think it's related?

Course it's related!

She was going to help me
and somebody stopped her.

How was she going to help you?

By exposing the crooked cops
who framed me.

And they were...?
Oh, look, you're Buchanan's mate.

You're gonna try and bury this.
Well, you're too late.

What do you mean?

Tim Padgett wanted to know
if I knew who shot Juliette Gardiner.

Well, I told him to
have a look at two detectives -

Bruce Dalton and Nick Buchanan.

And Juliette's source.
Is that someone you kick-started?

I've got no idea who she's been
talking to, apart from me!

You'll have to play nice with
her colleagues if you want that.

So in other words,
you've got nothing.

You're making a mistake
backing your mate.

You know that?

I mean, think about it.

He warned Juliette Gardiner
off the story, she didn't listen.

Next minute, she'd dead!

Doesn't take a genius.

Well, I'll say one thing
for Tim Padgett - the guy's quick.

Yeah.

Juliette's chair's still warm, he's
already jumped all over her story.

An ambitious journalist -
who would have thunk it?

I think he's worth bringing in.

To interview?
Yeah.

He claimed that
he and Juliette were close

but I asked around her friends
at the office

and they all claimed that
he had the hots for her.

And?

And they went out for a drink - he
made his move, she turned him down

and he's been badmouthing her
ever since.

Badmouthing her how?

By suggesting that she got a leg-up
by throwing the leg over.

Over Alan Sullivan?
Yeah.

You'd have to have pretty long legs.

Well, true or not, she had the story
and now she's dead.

And now he's got the story.

I'm on the story now! Be very afraid.

You did very well professionally
from Juliette's death, didn't you?

What happened to her
isn't gonna stop us

exposing Nick Buchanan
and Bruce Dalton's behaviour.

You know, corruption? Capital 'C'?

We're more interested in murder.
Capital 'M'.

Any comment?

Well, if you think trying to
intimidate me is gonna shut me down,

you can forget it!

We're not trying to intimidate you,
Mr Padgett.

We're following a legitimate
line of enquiry.

You were jealous of Juliette,
weren't you?

And, hey,
she rejected your advances.

What was her reason? You too short?

I was just
out for a bit of fun. Yeah?

She was at that age girls get when
they start looking for 'the one'.

You know - her age.
(SCOFFS)

So you rejected her,
not the other way round?

You do realise that lying to police
is an offence?

It was a mutual decision.
Oh?

Jules and I sparred a lot

and professional rivalry often
generates chemistry between people.

Right.

OK, so you're saying that
you were attracted to each other?

I'm saying there was some
unresolved sexual tension, yeah.

Rubbish!

Your colleagues told us
she referred to you as,

"An ambitious, ferret-faced
little ballbag."

She respected my work,
and she respected me.

No! No, she didn't! She burned you!

So you murdered her
and you took her story, didn't you?

Tell us about
your day yesterday, Tim.

All of it.

We thought there might be something

in Tim Padgett jumping on
Juliette's story so quickly,

so we put the frighteners on him
and suggested he might be a suspect.

Give you anything?
Entertainment.

Rhys and Padgett got into some kind
of weird pissing competition.

I was putting pressure on him.
Oh, is it pressure?

Did Padgett give you any indication
of what Juliette had?

No, he didn't.
So we're at a dead end.

Well...
Well, not necessarily.

What about Deep Throat?

He's an eyewitness to this murder
and potentially the intended target.

How are we going
with Juliette's phone?

So Tech's pulled the contacts list

and we've got call information
from the memory.

There's several numbers
on there without IDs.

And one was an unanswered
call right before the shooting.

Which is probably
the ready signal from her source,

but it's a prepaid phone
so we can't trace the owner.

But we could try calling it.

Getting in contact with this bloke
will narrow down the motives, Sarge.

He's not going to talk to police.
Yeah.

But he might talk
to Juliette's replacement.

What - you?

No.

Why not?

Too dangerous. What if
Deep Throat knows Padgett?

Tim Padgett's a nobody!
That's his problem.

There's no photo beside his byline.
There's no kudos.

Come on, Sarge. It's worth a try.

I mean, we're nowhere anyway, Sarge.

Alright. Let's give it a go.

(PHONE RINGS)

MAN: (ON PHONE) Who's this?
My name's Tim Padgett.

I worked with Juliette. I think
you know what I'm talking about.

(SIGHS)

(WHISPERS) How come
you have her phone?

The cops gave it to me,
with her belongings.

Look, Juliette and I were very close,

and she told me
what she was working on.

I think we need to
meet up, keep this thing moving.

(HISSES) No! It's too dangerous.

Well, we need to do this
for Juliette.

Hey, I've just been shot at!

Yeah, and she took the bullet
for you.

(SIGHS)

Keep her phone with you.

(LINE CLICKS)

Yes, yes, yes, I'm here, Bernice.
Look, I've got nothing to give you.

I know you want an update...
That's not why I got you here.

I am not the one
applying the pressure.

We have been summoned
by the State Attorney-General.

Oh, come on, Bernice!
What, is he running for premier?

Wants to make sure this case doesn't
come back and bite him on the bum?

That may be so,
but whatever his motives,

we can't ignore him,
so polish your shoes.

Practise your manners. Come on.
(GROANS)

Alright, well,
I won't waste anyone's time here.

I need to know the status
of your investigation

into the murder of Juliette Gardiner.

Well, these are early days yet, sir.

I need you to be
straight with me, Bernice,

because what the 'Tribune'
is spinning is pretty unsettling.

This article says reporter
Juliette Gardiner was close

to uncovering corruption in regards
to the Majors conviction.

What do you know about that?

(MUTTERS) As much as you do.

Sir.

What you read in the paper is their
take on the motive for this murder.

Speculation that
we're trying to stop.

Is there anything in your
investigation which supports this?

Yes, there is,
but 'investigation' is the keyword.

No facts yet,
just the possibilities.

And it's just one line of enquiry.

Is there a police cover-up or not?

I can't answer that yet, sir.

You know that I was a prosecutor
in the Dane Majors case?

I am aware of that, yes.

That trial had a profound effect
on many people.

For me personally,
it gave me a public profile,

enabled my move into politics.

Hence your interest.

It's not just my reputation that
I'm concerned about, Commander.

I hold the position
of Attorney-General.

I am the custodian of law
in this state.

Now, the public need to have
absolute faith in my integrity

and therefore the integrity
of the justice system.

I agree, sir.
There can be no questions.

Everything gets done swiftly
and by the book.

Deep Throat sent a message
a few minutes ago.

He's agreed to meet up -
just waiting on details.

Who are you meeting?
Juliette Gardiner's source, ma'am.

Deep Throat.

We've made contact.
Rhys is posing as Tim Padgett.

Am I hearing you correctly,
Sergeant?

Yes, ma'am, you are.

Deep Throat thinks
he was the shooter's target,

so he may have an idea
who the shooter is.

So you've got one of your detectives
impersonating a journalist?

Is this really the best avenue
of enquiry?

Well, at the moment, ma'am,
it's our only avenue of enquiry.

We need to use the paper
to our advantage somehow.

They're not giving us anything.

Yeah, they're too busy
taping private conversations.

This is a really good opportunity
for us.

(PHONE RINGS)
Oh, sorry!

Mapplethorpe.

Jen, I think I've found something.
Can you meet me?

Er, yeah. Where?

The morgue. I'll be waiting for you.

OK. I'm on my way.

Sorry, Sarge. Got a lead.
Go.

Excuse me.

Ma'am.
So what are you planning?

Well, once we've established
the meeting place,

we'll position people
at all the exit points.

(PHONE RINGS)
It's him.

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Go on.

Answer it.

Tim speaking.
Queens Park. City.

When?

3pm.

(LINE CLICKS)

(DOOR OPENS)
JEN: Hi.

Ronnie pulled some strings.
Why here?

We can't exactly do this
in the office.

I know this place has always
been busy,

but this cannot be
the attendant's logs for one week.

(LAUGHS) Whole of that year, sorry.

The guy in Document Storage
said that they had a problem

with silverfish infestations
in the facility.

Things got moved around -
this year got muddled up.

Infestations? Lovely.

So what week are we looking for?

Second week of July.

And when we find it?
OK.

Dane Majors claimed the discovery
of the murder weapon was a set-up.

He said that the club that I found
wasn't his,

even though the same one, the same
brand, was missing from his golf bag.

And that relates to
morgue attendants records how?

DNA and blood samples
from Tahnee's autopsy

were stored in the morgue labs.

Right. And?

When I found that murder weapon,
I was supercareful -

I wore gloves, did everything
by the numbers,

bagged it, tagged it -

I know that it wasn't tampered with.

What clinched it
as a piece of evidence?

Tiny trace of Tahnee's blood
on the club head,

even though it looked like
it had been vigorously cleaned.

So you're wondering, if the club
you found had been planted,

how did her blood
come to be present on it?

Right.

If it was a fix, someone
had to access those blood samples.

Second week of July.

Third bench along.

In position, Sarge.

You get that, Dunnie?
Loud and clear, Sarge.

DUNCAN: Anyone see possibles
who fit?

Let's just keep watching Rhys.

Once we realise he's talking
to Deep Throat, we'll move in.

Yes, Sarge.

Who do you think Deep Throat is?
We're about to find out.

(PHONE RINGS)

Stand by.
Tim speaking.

DEEP THROAT: (ON PHONE)
The next bench along.

Yeah, OK.

Hold position, Duncan.

Alright.

There's a bin in front of you.

In the bin, a blue plastic bag.
OK.

He's a no-show.

I won't be meeting you.
Maybe the next instalment.

I'll be in touch.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Sarge.
What's he left us?

Yeah, I don't know yet.

Let's hope it's a smoking gun.

It's a police roster from 2001.

Yeah, it's Nick's old crew.

Dalton and Nick -
they're both listed.

So why is this guy circled?

Jack Enderby would have
worked the Dane Majors case too,

but according to this roster,

he was on leave
when the case went to court.

So why does Deep Throat
want us to know that?

Let's look him up in the system
and found out where he is.

NICK: Matt...
You shouldn't be here.

Yeah, I know,
but you need to hear this.

This is a copy of the morgue
attendance log, 12th July 2001.

The day before
Nick found the murder weapon.

The person that signed in
was Jack Enderby.

Now, he was a detective on our team.
This is our breakthrough, Matt.

We believe that Jack Enderby

accessed Tahnee Majors blood samples
from the morgue lab.

He put the blood on the golf club

and planted it in the Majors house
for me to find.

It's a good theory -
trouble is it's contradicted

by a document
we received from Deep Throat today.

What document?

The police roster says that
Enderby was on leave in July 2001.

Yeah, he spent a year
working in Cyprus.

So he couldn't have
tampered with the evidence.

OK, so we need to find Enderby
and check out his story.

Well, his story ended in 2006.

He finished up in the job 2004.

And then he died two years later
of a heart attack.

This is his retirement letter here.

Damn.
Sorry, mate.

No, no. Hang on. Look.

If that is Enderby's signature,
then THAT definitely isn't.

MATT: Someone falsified the entry,

forges Enderby's signature,
knowing he was away overseas.

Someone with an understanding
of morgue procedures.

Familiar enough with security

that they didn't
bother to check his sign-in.

(SIGHS) Bruce Dalton.

OK, Jennifer, take Duncan,
pick up Dalton.

It's time to talk to him again.

And, YOU, go home.

MAN: Dane Majors killed my daughter.

MAN TWO: Mr Proctor, your son-in-law
has always claimed he...

No, look,
don't even call him that, OK?

As far as I'm concerned,
he was never that.

He may have been
a hero to you people

but to me he was a vicious thug -
end of story.

Yeah, not quite.

Print media are suggesting
that they may have been wrong

in condemning
Dane Majors 10 years ago.

Yeah, well, the fact
that they've changed their tune

is more about them
jumping on the bandwagon

than it is about the truth!

Oh, they're full of it!

Matt, how are we going
with Bruce Dalton?

Dalton wasn't at home and he didn't
show up for his shift today, either.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Anyone have any idea where he is?

No, we've put a KALOF out -
him and his car.

If he's not at his house,
I'll let you know when we find him.

OK, thanks.
Get some sleep.

Bruce.

Been reading the papers, Nicky?

Listened to the radio or TV?

Wanna come in?

Gonna ask you

why your Homicide buddies
are knocking on my door, mate.

They're coming to my office,
asking questions about me.

You'd have to ask them that.
I've been suspended.

(CHUCKLES) Temporarily.

They're after my skin...

..permanently.

They asked me to present myself
for an interview...

..again.

Just some details, that's all.
So you do know.

I know...

..that somebody
signed in to the morgue

during the Dane Majors trial.

I think, whoever that was,
got some blood samples

to use as trace evidence
on a golf club.

And I think that that golf club
was planted FOR ME TO FIND!

You think that, do you?

Well, let me tell you...

..I don't think I can be
the scapegoat

for this Dane Majors thing.

Why would you be used as a scapegoat,
Bruce,

unless you've got something to hide?

How many times have you seen
a man walk on a technicality?

We all knew the bastard did it.

He was just a low-life,
hiding behind his celebrity.

Bruce.

Don't pretend you didn't twig
to that evidence.

You wanted him convicted
as much as I did.

I'm not going down, Bruce.

I'm taking you in.

I've already informed my sergeant
about the planted evidence.

I just need to know, Bruce...

..did you kill Juliette Gardiner?

Did you deliberately let him go?
Does it look like it, ma'am?

Detective Buchanan was unconscious
for a short time, ma'am.

He called me when he came to.

We dispatched cars to the scene
but Dalton had gone.

And Dalton all but confessed to you
that he planted the trace evidence

and faked the murder weapon?

Which is an obvious motive
in the Juliette Gardiner killing.

Yes, ma'am.
Bloody hell.

(PHONE RINGS)

Sorry, ma'am.
Take it.

Superintendent Jarvis and I
have been asked

to keep the Attorney General abreast
of any developments.

Yeah.

Especially
in relation to the Majors case.

Buchanan, did you collude
in the planting of that golf club?

No, ma'am.

But if push comes to shove,

and Dalton wants
to take me down with him,

it'll be his word against mine.

Well, it isn't
looking too good, then, is it?

We found Dalton.

Hey, Bruce...

..you wanna talk about this?

Come on, Bruce.

You wanna step out of the car?

I didn't mean to shoot the girl.

I was aiming for him.

No!
(GUNSHOT CRACKS)

Dalton's wife said that
she wanted to do the ID.

(DOOR OPENS)

This was stuck
to the seat of his pants.

He was sitting on it.

We have to wait till they move
his body to find his suicide note?

This is not just a suicide note,
this is a hand grenade.

(REDS) "This looks like
the best idea right now.

"Check the gun. It'll be a match to
the one that killed the reporter.

"That was an accident.

"I was after her informer, trying
to stop the truth coming out."

Juliette was collateral damage.

Oh, there's more.

"I spent my life
going after the truth.

"We were sure
Majors killed his wife.

"We just didn't have the proof.

"But we should never
have planted that evidence.

(SIGHS)

"Now it's time to pay the price."

NICK: We?

'We' should never
have planted that evidence?

This doesn't have to send you
to the wall, Nick.

Of course it will.
People will assume it's me.

I'm the natural co-conspirator.

Well, not necessarily.

Oh, come on, Jen.

You've seen the papers.
They're lining me up.

And you know what?
I probably deserve it.

I didn't even consider that Bruce
might have crossed the line.

Why would you? He was your senior
sergeant, and he was your mentor.

And if I learned from him,
then what does that make me?

Nick...

If I'd been half the cop
that I pretend to be...

..Dane Majors would be free,
Bruce Dalton would be in jail

and Juliette Gardiner...

..would be alive.

How is he?

Oh, yeah, he's doing OK.

Well, I might go round there later,
drag him down the pub.

Maybe give him a day or two.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Hey, guys, we got something new
from Deep Throat.

He texted to say he's got more
information on the planted evidence.

Well, where is it?
He said he's just sent it.

Well, that's good, isn't it?
To Tim Padgett at the newspaper.

(CLEARS THROAT)
Can I help you, Detective?

Are you looking for a package?
Well, you can't have it.

I think you'll find that package
is related to our murder enquiry.

Your murder enquiry's over,

and I think you'll find the package
was actually addressed to me, mate.

OK, look, Padgett...
He already read the content, lads.

And he's shown them to me.

So I have a sneaking suspicion

that you and your squad
have a bit of explaining to do.

It doesn't take much nous
to figure out

that one of your so-called detectives
is impersonating Tim Padgett.

Now, Bernice, that is illegal.

Look, this was... this still is
a legitimate line of enquiry,

and we need whatever evidence
is in that envelope.

No, I'm sorry.

See, from our point of view
right now,

what's in that envelope is personal
correspondence, not evidence,

and so if you want to read it,
you'll have to get a warrant.

And to do that,
you'll have to tell a judge

exactly how you know
the nature of those contents.

Wouldn't it be easier just
to read tomorrow morning's edition?

Oh, by the way, catch the TV news
tonight - there's a press conference.

Might interest you.

Now, I'll keep this brief -

10 years ago, I prosecuted this case
on behalf of the Crown,

and a man went to jail.

I acted in good faith,
as did the men and women of the jury.

But it now appears Mr Majors
was convicted and sentenced

on the basis of false evidence.

Given this revelation,

I've ordered a full enquiry
into the handling of this matter,

and the reopening
of the investigation

of the death of Tahnee Majors.

MAN: And where does
that leave Dane Majors?

Well, not in prison,
that's for certain.

I've ordered his release

and it should be effected
first thing tomorrow.

And what about sanctions
against police?

Well, that's yet to be determined.

Look, I believe
more than one detective

was involved in this conspiracy.

Now, if that's the case,
they will be dealt with.

There is no room for corruption
anywhere in police ranks.

Homicide is no exception.

Everyone in Homicide
gets tarred with the same brush.

No, not if we can get to the truth.

Yeah, I thought I had,
but hey... (CHUCKLES)

..everything I thought
about being a homicide cop,

everything I've done
has been based on a lie.

You weren't complicit in the lie.
Yes, I was!

I knew.

Deep down somewhere.

I knew.

Mrs Dalton, you are aware

that your husband has suffered
serious head injuries?

SONG: ? Slowly dead murkily

? Round and around

? The head starts its filtering

? His body is shivering

? Someone please show him some light

? He's drinking with misery

? All through the night

? It's heading for a mercy kill

? He's shattered, yet purposeful

? Blurred like an overcast day

? 'Cause this is

? The slow way

? We go down

? 'Cause this is

? The slow way

? To fall down... ?

Excuse me, ma'am, sir.

What's that?

I should have dealt with this
10 years ago, but I didn't.

I let Dalton fool me.

That's my resignation.

Hey, hey...
Buchanan.

No, ma'am. You need to accept that
for everyone's sake.

This is my mess.

And it's only gonna get dirtier.
