00:01Um, well, what are your plans for the rest of the day?
00:04Maybe I can drive you down to the surf club.
00:06Well, if I want to go anywhere, I'll drive myself, all right?
00:08Hey, hey, it was just a suggestion.
00:11You know, I wasn't expecting cartwheels,
00:13but I don't think you'd be happy to be out of jail.
00:16Well, of course I'm flamin' happy.
00:18You hired Bob Radcliffe to keep an eye on Josh West,
00:21but now Peter thinks that you hired Radcliffe to kill West.
00:26Yes.
00:26Yes, I know Radcliffe's a shady sort of a character,
00:30but I wouldn't have picked him as a murderer.
00:32Precisely.
00:32And what's more, I have to get to him before the police do,
00:35because if they find him first...
00:37Oh, you got yourself into a nice little mess this time, haven't you?
00:40Please tell me now that you had nothing to do with Joshua West's death.
00:43Oh, I didn't kill Josh West,
00:45but I was at the council chamber that night.
00:48Doing what?
00:49Taking photos like you asked me to, but not just to Josh.
00:53What are you talking about?
00:54I took a couple of someone leaving the building
00:56just after I heard the sound of a gunshot.
00:59You what?
01:00I know who killed Josh West.
01:05You know we belong together
01:10You and I forever and ever
01:13No matter where you are
01:17You're my guiding star
01:21You're my guiding star
01:23Hold me in your arms
01:25Don't let me go
01:27I want to stay forever
01:31Close I reach day
01:34Home and away
01:38Are you sure it's the killer?
01:39A lot of people came and went from that office that night.
01:42Oh, it's the killer, all right, no doubt.
01:44Well, who is it?
01:44Uh-uh.
01:45No way am I telling you that.
01:46Robert!
01:47I said no.
01:48If they get wind, I've been interfering.
01:50They might come after me next.
01:51Why do you think I've been laying low since it all happened, eh?
01:53Well, you have to come forward.
01:55I'm not going to serve myself up to the pigs on a platter, I can tell you.
01:58Well, it's better than living in fear.
02:00At least the police will protect you.
02:01The killer will be jailed.
02:02Anyone can get to anyone inside these days.
02:05I am not risking that.
02:06Well, you listen to me.
02:07The police are breathing down my neck.
02:09They think I had something to do with the murder.
02:11So if you don't come forward...
02:12It is not gonna happen.
02:15Then why the hell did you call?
02:17I called because I want your help.
02:19With what?
02:20I want you to help me get out of the country.
02:24I can't assist a villain to flee the country when there's a warrant out for him.
02:27Oh, of course you can.
02:28If you want to clear your name.
02:30And what exactly does that mean?
02:32You help me out, and I'll give you the photos.
02:36By the time the killer finds out, I'll be long gone.
02:40Fine.
02:41All right, what do you want me to do?
02:42Meet me at the picnic spot on Gordon Street and bring three grand cash.
02:46How quickly can you get it together?
02:48Well, I have that much in the apartment safe.
02:50Um, what, say about half an hour.
02:53Good.
02:54Oh, and Morag.
02:55Don't be stupid enough to bring the coppers with you.
02:57Or I won't be a very happy chappy.
03:00Hear me?
03:07Flamin' mongrels.
03:08Blood can't even go out and get the paper
03:10without every Tom, Dick and Harry gawking at him like he's got six heads.
03:14So much for getting a fair go when you get out.
03:18I'm not talking to myself here.
03:21Morag?
03:22I'm sorry?
03:24Strike me, handsome.
03:25You look dreadful.
03:26What's up?
03:26Um, no, nothing.
03:28I'm fine, really.
03:29Um, I just have to be somewhere, and I'm running a bit late, that's all.
03:32What's going on, Morag?
03:33I told you nothing.
03:34I'm fine.
03:35I'm okay.
03:35I'll see you soon.
04:02I'll get Hendrix to send these off to HQ, will you please?
04:04Sure.
04:04And I may need to borrow you for an hour or so a bit later.
04:07We need to work out our next move in the search of the murder weapon.
04:09All right, well, I'll be free in about ten if you...
04:10Portable 4, Yabby Creek Station.
04:11Go ahead, Portable 4.
04:13Morag Bellingham is on the move.
04:15She left the house about five minutes ago in a hurry.
04:18She's just entered the apartment above the diner.
04:21Was she with anyone?
04:22No, she's on her own.
04:24All right, well, let us know if she moves again.
04:25Yeah, all right.
04:26Will do.
04:26Now.
04:31Oh, good morning!
04:32Oh, I'm sorry.
04:34Yes, I'm fine.
04:36Excuse me.
04:36You look like you're in a hurry.
04:38Well, yes, I am.
04:39Well, we better let you go then, eh?
04:40But how's the outcomes?
04:41You all right?
04:42Well, considering everything...
04:43Oh, is he up for visitors?
04:45Oh, what a good idea.
04:46Lovely idea.
04:46I'll see you soon.
04:48I've got to keep moving.
04:48Bye.
04:49All right.
04:55Detective Baker.
04:56Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
04:57No, I'm fine, thank you.
04:58But you must excuse me.
05:00Is everything all right, Mrs. Bellamy?
05:01And why wouldn't it be?
05:02I don't know.
05:03You seem a little nervous, like you might be hiding something.
05:05Oh, no, no.
05:06No secrets here.
05:06You should know that by now.
05:08Um.
05:09Oh, thank you.
05:11You have a lovely day now.
05:13You have a lovely day now.
05:56You have a lovely day now.
06:28You've reached the mobile phone at Morag Berlingham.
06:31Sorry, I can't take your call.
06:34Morag?
06:35Good night, mate.
06:35Just us.
06:36Oh, good night.
06:37Come in.
06:38Oh, oh, it's so good to see you.
06:40Thanks, Mrs. Bellamy.
06:42Thanks, mate.
06:43I hope you don't mind us dropping in like this.
06:45No, no, I'll pull up a pew.
06:46Oh, thanks, but we can't stay too long.
06:48We just thought we'd drop by and see how you're settling in.
06:50Yeah, well, it's taken a while, but I suppose you'd expect that.
06:53Yeah, it's a bit of a roar.
06:54You had to be in there in the first place, isn't it?
06:55Well, we can thank that mongrel West for that.
06:58Yeah, I tell you, I don't like speaking to all the dead,
07:00but that bloke, you know, I ain't getting the argument here, mate.
07:02Oh, for you.
07:04Oh, a bit of morning tea, eh?
07:06That and a bit of a softener.
07:08Softener?
07:09For what?
07:10I need a favour.
07:11I hate asking, and I know this is awful timing,
07:14but I need someone to cover at the bar for a couple of hours.
07:17Tony and I have a meeting at the bank, and we can't change,
07:19and none of the casuals are available.
07:21Would you mind going in?
07:23Look, I'm right in the middle of two or three things here.
07:26Look, it'll only take a couple of hours, I promise.
07:28And I'm, like I said, I'm sorry, but I'm desperate.
07:33When do you need me?
07:34Meet me there in about half an hour.
07:36Done.
07:37Oh, thanks, Alf.
07:38You are a lifesaver.
07:40I'll see you then.
07:40Thanks, mate.
07:41And again, welcome, Amy.
07:42Bye.
08:03What's she doing?
08:10Move!
08:11Move!
08:40Sorry I was late.
08:41I was followed by the police.
08:43What?
08:43You told me there were going to be no...
08:45Oh, relax, relax.
08:45I managed to lose them.
08:46Are you sure?
08:47Oh, do you see them following me?
08:49You bring the money?
08:50I'd hardly come without it, would I?
08:52Give it...
08:52No, no, no, no.
08:53No photos first.
09:02I thought you said you got rid of them.
09:03I'm Radcliffe.
09:04Radcliffe, the photos.
09:20I'm going to ask you one more time.
09:23What were you doing meeting Bob Radcliffe in secret?
09:26Answer the question.
09:30Your best bet right now, Mrs. Bellingham, is to start cooperating with us.
09:33You're already facing charges for obstructing an investigation.
09:35Don't make it worse for yourself.
09:42He called me.
09:44When?
09:45This morning, 9.30.
09:47He said he had some surveillance photos identifying Joshua West's killer.
09:53Excuse me?
09:53And before you even ask no, he would not tell me who it was.
09:58So where did he get these photos from?
10:01He took them as part of an investigation into the activities of Mr. West.
10:06An investigation which you hired him to undertake?
10:09We were right when we first questioned you, weren't we?
10:11You did hire Radcliffe to watch Josh West.
10:15Yes.
10:17So he told you he had these photos, then what?
10:19Well, I told him he should go straight to the police,
10:21but he refused, saying something about an arrest warrant.
10:24Armed burglary.
10:25I think he was more worried about what would happen to him
10:27should the killer find out he was involved.
10:29So what did he want from you?
10:31Money.
10:32To flee the country.
10:34I think he thought once he was safe,
10:37he could then turn over the photos.
10:39And you just went along with his little plot?
10:40Well, I had no choice.
10:41You could have come to us.
10:44What, and have him take off?
10:46It was too big a gamble.
10:48And take off is exactly what he did
10:50when your keystone cops showed up.
10:52And you still had the photos with him?
10:54Yes, so the whole exercise was an abject waste of time.
10:57Well, you're the only person we have to thank for that.
10:58No, you listen, I just...
10:59Save it, Mrs. Bellingham.
11:01Because you tried to take the law into your own hands,
11:03we may have lost our one and only chance
11:05of tracking down the killer.
11:06Come on.
11:06Come on.
11:20Watch out.
11:20Ow!
11:21Watch out.
11:21Watch it, old man.
11:23Get out of the way.
11:27Oh, ow!
11:29Oh, once again, I really appreciate this.
11:33You missed the place?
11:34I, yeah.
11:35Yeah, I did.
11:37Ah, g'day, fellas.
11:38Well, wonderful to see you again.
11:41Yeah, thanks, Barry.
11:42You too.
11:42My apologies for not coming down to the house to say hello,
11:44but I wasn't sure that you'd want too many visitors
11:46landing on your doorstep.
11:48Are you well?
11:49Oh, good, yeah.
11:50It's really good to be home.
11:51Good to have you home.
11:52Back in the seat.
11:55So, uh, what's going on here?
11:57Well, uh, Matt's left all the fridges fully stocked
11:59and there's plenty of change in the till.
12:01Any deliveries?
12:02Oh, no, not till this afternoon.
12:03Huh?
12:04So, that's about it.
12:05Hopefully it's all smooth sailing.
12:07Yeah, well, I reckon I'll manage.
12:08Okay, thanks again.
12:10You all right?
12:11Yeah, let's do it.
12:12See you later.
12:12Yeah.
12:21Oh, what now, detective?
12:23I'm getting seriously tired of waiting.
12:25I don't care.
12:27Morag Bellingham, I'm charging you with obstructing an investigation,
12:30the conspiracy to conceal evidence.
12:31Your what?
12:32You are not obliged to say or do anything,
12:34but anything you say or do may be taken down...
12:35Oh, for heaven's sake, detective, I know my rights.
12:37This is outrageous!
12:38No, what is outrageous is your stupidity,
12:40which led to this investigation being seriously compromised.
12:44If you don't like that, Mrs. Bellingham, that's tough.
12:46I am a legal practitioner.
12:48You press charges against me and my career is as good as over.
12:51Well, you should have thought about that
12:52before you started playing Nancy Drew, shouldn't you?
12:55Why wasn't that taken off him?
12:56I don't know.
12:56Shut it off.
12:57It is Bob.
12:58Give me the phone.
12:58Let me take the phone.
12:59Forget it.
13:00This might be the one chance we have of getting him out of hiding.
13:04It's going to ring out, detective.
13:07Take it slowly.
13:09Bob, where are you?
13:11It doesn't matter where I am.
13:12What happened back there?
13:14Yes, look, I am truly sorry.
13:16I honestly thought that I'd shaken the police.
13:18Did they take you in?
13:19Yes, but I wouldn't tell them anything, so I was no use.
13:22You swear that you did not tell them about me?
13:25No, of course not.
13:27I didn't want to risk getting into trouble.
13:30Good.
13:31So what now?
13:32That's what I want to know.
13:33Well, I suggest we arrange another meeting.
13:35Hey, no way.
13:36Too risky.
13:37Now I am aware of the police, I'll make sure that I am not followed.
13:42Look, you will have your money, you'll be able to leave the country, and I will have the photos.
13:46But I do suggest that we choose somewhere more discreet this time.
13:51Look, I don't know.
13:52Do you want to get away or not?
13:56Why are you doing this?
13:57Have the cops got to you?
13:58No, of course not.
14:02All right.
14:03Fine.
14:04Where do you want to meet?
14:08All right, this is the plan.
14:09We drop you near the house, then we can seal ourselves a short distance away.
14:13You meet with Bob, make the exchange, and then get the hell out of there, okay?
14:17What happens if you realise that something's going on?
14:20Well, we will be listening in the whole time, so if anything does go wrong, we'll be in there like
14:24a shot.
14:25Have you got any questions?
14:26Yeah, one.
14:27Are you sure about this?
14:28Well, we can't risk him getting away again.
14:31And, um, you will drop all charges in exchange for my help?
14:35That was the agreement, yes.
14:37All done.
14:38I'll just let McGraw know what's going on.
14:39Okay, thanks.
14:40You ready to go?
14:42Yeah, I think so.
14:44You are doing the right thing, you know.
14:46This is our one chance to find out who the killer is.
14:55The killer is going on.
14:58Okay, well, we have to block the slide.
15:04There areósas about we're picking those anyway.
15:04Okay, what's going on?
15:22Ratcliffe, Ratcliffe, it's me.
15:34Robert?
15:41Where are you?
15:45Are you alone?
15:47Um, well, of course I'm alone.
15:48Well, you better be, because I don't want any more stuff-ups.
15:51Oh, there won't be, I can assure you.
15:53What's wrong?
15:54What do you mean?
15:55Well, you're all sweaty and nervous. Why?
15:57Well, as I mentioned this morning, helping a felon flee the country isn't high on my list of preferred pastimes,
16:02so if I appear a little nervous, it's because I am.
16:05When the cops spoke to you this morning, what exactly did you tell them?
16:09Well, what does it matter now?
16:11It matters because I want to know.
16:12Well, it is irrelevant. Now, can we get on with the exchange and get out of here?
16:17$3,000, it's all here, and I'd like the photos, please.
16:21What's that under your shirt?
16:23Excuse me?
16:24You're wearing a wire, aren't you?
16:25Of course I'm not wearing a wire.
16:27Don't lie to me!
16:28I'm not lying!
16:29Let's move.
16:30Go!
16:31You're not trying to play me for a fool.
16:33Now, don't be ridiculous!
16:34You told me I could trust you!
16:35And you can!
16:41You're going to reflect this.
16:51Through there!
16:53Right there.
16:56Right there.
17:10And, of course, the department's standing firm in their decision about the replacements
17:14due to various fiscal reasons, no doubt.
17:16Meanwhile, I'm stuck without a drama or music teacher for the junior grades.
17:20I'd like to find someone by next year.
17:23I'm sorry, I must be boring the pants off you.
17:25My whinging's the last thing you need at the moment.
17:28Hey?
17:30I'm just saying, it's time I headed off.
17:32It's fantastic to have you back.
17:34Hey, thanks, mate.
17:35I know on that, you're getting in touch.
17:37Get your flamin' hands off him!
17:38Now, you listen to me, you little mongrels.
17:41If I see you lay a hand on anybody again, I'll pick your backside to your nose, please.
17:46You understand?
17:47Now, get out of here!
17:47Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
17:50What's going on?
17:54So close.
17:56Well, stop close!
17:57Detective, calm down.
17:58What the hell happened in there?
17:59You heard what happened in there.
18:01He realised I had a wire and I did the best I could.
18:03Your best wasn't good enough, wasn't it?
18:05It wasn't even damn well close.
18:06Detective, stop.
18:07This wasn't Mrs. Bellingham's fault.
18:08Yes, it was.
18:09It was her fault that we're in this position at all.
18:11You could have come to us in the first place.
18:12I said I am sorry.
18:13I don't know what else I can do.
18:15Well, sorry doesn't cut it, does it?
18:16Not when there's a killer out there walking free.
18:20I'm going to go back out and join the search.
18:21You let me know if you hear anything, okay?
18:22I'm going to go back out and go away.
18:26Okay.
18:27Come on.
18:50Here, hello yourself.
18:52My name's Bob, and I know what you did.
18:56I'm talking about you killing that mayor bloke, Josh West.
19:01Oh, I got proof.
19:03Photos of you leaving West's office that night.
19:06Yeah, I was going to give them to a friend of mine,
19:08but she stuffed me around,
19:10so I figured I'd cut you a deal instead.
19:12So unless you want me to hand the snaps over to the cops,
19:15this is exactly what you're going to do.
19:18Portable 1, the Abbey Creek Station.
19:19Doctor.
19:20Reveal your portable one.
19:21We've just received word
19:22that a man-matching Radcliffe's description
19:24was sent running through bushland towards William's Drops.
19:27Our ETA's over 15 minutes.
19:29You better let the other units.
19:31Will do, and I'll head out there myself.
19:33Thanks, portable one. Over.
19:35This is good, right?
19:36Attention all units. This is Abbey Creek Station.
19:48Thanks for coming.
19:50Bring the cash.
19:53Don't mug me about.
19:54Did you bring the cash or not?
19:58What are you doing?
19:59What are you doing here?
20:28I heard the call on the radio.
20:30Where's Radcliffe?
20:31I have no idea.
20:32I got here a few minutes ago to find this.
20:36There are signs I struggle,
20:38so it looks like our killer got here first.
20:44Is this the day a park will turn into a crime scene?
20:49Is this the day they'll find the clues to the murder?
20:52Oh, my God.
20:53Is this the day that will change her life?
20:57I found a match.
20:57And is this the day a new romance starts?
21:01Home and away tomorrow.
21:03And vote now for the gold logie.
21:05Call the numbers on your screen to vote for Ada Nicodemu or Kate Ritchie.
21:09Or SMS Ada or Kate to 1-double-9-triple-8-double-2.
