00:01I've seen an accident at the diner.
00:03Yeah, at the diner.
00:05It fell on your head, you silly duffer.
00:07I don't remember what.
00:09The truth is, mate, you and I had a bit of a row.
00:12If you let anyone into this room without my permission,
00:15I'll see to it that you're held responsible, okay?
00:18I need to be looking out for my son.
00:20All the gin joints in all the towns.
00:22My favourite silk.
00:23What are you doing here?
00:25Samantha Holden murder.
00:26How long did you...
00:27Two years.
00:28But he was fiercely ambitious and married to his job,
00:31and I wasn't prepared to play second fiddle in anyone's life.
00:34First, I want to put a rush on the handwriting analysis of the note.
00:36Then call forensics, tell them to go over the car with a microscope,
00:40and when you've done that,
00:41push the lab for the DNA results from the victim's fingernails.
00:44If Martha Mackenzie or Jack Holden were in that car,
00:47I want to know about it.
00:47You say no-one would want to hurt Miss Holden,
00:49but it seems to me that Martha Mackenzie and your son
00:52might have wanted her out of the way.
00:56Jack!
01:00What have I done there?
01:03I don't know what I've done.
01:11It's my fault.
01:12You know Jack, Jack, take care of that.
01:13It's my fault.
01:15It's not my fault.
01:16It's all my fault.
01:17Jack, Jack.
01:18That disaster Definitely down for the sod.
01:21It was one of the fraud.
01:23Jack, I need to know how much you had to drink okay?
01:25Okay, let's sit down.
01:28Tony, you have to prepare him for the fact that it's a murder case now.
01:31The police are going to question him.
01:32He's drunk and he obviously hasn't slept for a while.
01:34Yes, but he's blaming himself for Sam's death.
01:36He hasn't been able to be contactable since last night.
01:39Yes.
01:40Jason, he had nothing to do with this.
01:42If it's alright with you, I'd really like to take him into hospital.
01:45What, you can't keep an eye on him here?
01:46He's severely dehydrated. I'm worried about his state of mind.
01:50I want to keep him sedated and under observation.
01:53The stress is just a breaking point.
01:55I don't know how much more he can take.
01:59I heard they faxed through the full autopsy report.
02:01Mm-hmm.
02:03So, did they confirm the cause of death?
02:06She died of an overdose.
02:09Short time afterwards, somebody dumped the body in the water.
02:11So it is one of Johnny Cooper's mates.
02:13No, it's a theory.
02:14It's more than a theory.
02:15She killed their leader, they've got access to hard drugs.
02:18Motive and means.
02:19They'd also want the murder to stand as a warning.
02:21They wouldn't try to cover it up.
02:23The victim's husband, on the other hand.
02:25There's no way Jack could be involved in something like this.
02:28He was under stress.
02:29His marriage was falling apart.
02:30His wife was threatening to bring down his career.
02:32You're wrong.
02:33I know the guy.
02:34You also know the stats.
02:35A crime like this, how often do we end up charging the spouse?
02:39I've been looking through Holden's file.
02:41It lists more than one instance of corrupt activities.
02:44Alleged corrupt activities.
02:46But either way, it's hardly a glowing character reference for him or this station.
02:51With all due respect, that doesn't make him guilty of murder.
02:55And anyway, whoever did this isn't smart on forensics.
02:58And Jack is.
02:58He knows that an autopsy would show that she didn't drown.
03:02So he botched the whole thing to make it look like the work of an amateur.
03:05I don't buy that.
03:07Okay.
03:08We'll see what the evidence throws up.
03:10And in the meantime, we'll come down hard on our suspects.
03:14Anyone at the station going to have a problem with that?
03:15Nobody is going to stand in the way of this investigation.
03:18And nobody's going to give Jack a break.
03:20Well, just make sure that goes for the ex-wife as well.
03:23Meaning?
03:24According to the autopsy report, there were bruises on the victim's arms.
03:28One person held her down, and another person injected the drug.
03:33If Holden did do this, he had help.
03:38Jack, it's me.
03:40Please call me back.
03:41I'm so worried about you.
03:43Yoo-hoo!
03:43Aunty, me!
03:45Oh!
03:45Oh, Martha!
03:46Look, I hope you don't mind my popping in unannounced.
03:49But when Roman told me that you were being questioned by the police,
03:53I thought, there's a girl who needs her auntie!
03:55Thanks, Colleen, but I'm fine.
03:57Aunty Colleen, if you don't mind.
03:59And, um, if you don't mind my saying so, you don't look fine.
04:02Aunty Morag's taking great care of me.
04:04Yeah, well, if she were doing that, you wouldn't be in this position.
04:07I can't believe that the police are wasting their time with you
04:10when the real killer is still out there somewhere.
04:14If you've come here to gossip, Colleen, you can leave now.
04:16I am here because I am concerned about my great-niece.
04:20How you could let the police harass her beats me.
04:23Well, they're entitled to ask questions.
04:25No, not when everyone knows that Martha's innocent, they aren't.
04:28Aunty Morag, um, one of your clients called before,
04:31and I left their name and number on a part in the kitchen.
04:33Fine.
04:34I'll leave you to it.
04:36Poor thing.
04:38She's jealous, you see.
04:39Of what?
04:40Sharing you with me.
04:42But, uh, don't worry, I'll take good care of you.
04:45Oh, she's worried, that's all.
04:46Okay?
04:47They brought in some detective from the city, and he was really hard on me.
04:51Ah, well, somebody should go down there and put him in his place.
04:58The sedation's kicked in now.
05:00He should be able to get some proper rest.
05:02Oh, good.
05:02And, look, thanks for looking after him when he got home.
05:04I didn't really know what else to do.
05:06Jazz told me what he was saying when he came in.
05:09What have I done?
05:11Well, Jack doesn't know the truth about the way Sam died.
05:14He's just blaming himself for not looking after him properly, that's all.
05:17That's all that means.
05:18Okay.
05:20Rachel, you know Jack's not capable of this, don't you?
05:23Yeah.
05:23I'm just worried what the police are gonna think.
05:26Well, the police don't need to know what he said.
05:29Well, you are gonna tell them that he's here, though, right?
05:32What Jack needs now is rest.
05:33I don't want him talking to anybody until he's ready.
05:36Aren't you worried that might look like he has something to hide, though?
05:40Rach, you said that yourself, okay?
05:41That he is nearly at breaking point.
05:43This Buckton guy gives him the third degree.
05:46I should never have left him up there on his own.
05:48I should have made sure he came back with me and he wouldn't be under suspicion.
05:51You can't blame yourself.
05:52You had no way of knowing this would happen.
05:54Well, I still should have taken better care of him.
05:55You did everything you could.
05:57And you were the first person that he called.
05:59He trusts you more than anyone.
06:01You know that's not gonna change.
06:04You are gonna help him through this.
06:15Yeah, I know the lab's backed up, but this is a priority.
06:19I'll stuff that paperwork, mate.
06:21Get me the results from forensics and get them today.
06:23Excuse me.
06:24Are you the detective from the city?
06:26What can I do for you?
06:27Well, for a start, you can behave yourself with my great-niece.
06:31Your great-niece being?
06:33Martha Mackenzie.
06:34I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I don't appreciate the way you're treating her.
06:39You're related to Morag Bellingham?
06:41We're sisters.
06:42We're half-sisters.
06:43Really?
06:44Yeah, well, we're nothing alike, of course.
06:45Nothing alike at all.
06:46For instance, I would never stand back and allow you to harass Martha.
06:50And if you think I would, you're in for a nasty surprise.
06:52You understand we had to ask her a few questions.
06:55Yeah, well, I can appreciate that you have to do your job, but Martha would never hurt a fly.
07:00She's so sweet, so innocent.
07:02I'm sure Martha has many wonderful qualities, but she also has a strong connection to the deceased.
07:06Who, in my opinion, was nothing but a two-faced minx.
07:09I gather you didn't like her much.
07:11You wouldn't either if you'd heard the way she spoke to Martha the other day.
07:15You were there, were you?
07:17Yes, I saw everything.
07:18The only way you'll get him is to kill me.
07:22That's what Samantha said to Martha, word for word.
07:25Him being?
07:26Constable Holden, of course.
07:28The tone of her voice was shocking.
07:30It was enough to push a saint to the limit.
07:33Perhaps you could come inside so we can talk some more.
07:35Do you mind?
07:36Oh, no.
07:37Oh, anything to help Martha.
07:38Anything at all.
07:40You should come in, Senior Constable.
07:42This could be interesting.
07:51Mr. Jeffries, how's Aidan?
07:54You're the doctor, you tell me.
07:56He's doing very well.
07:57We're really happy with his progress.
08:00I'm sorry.
08:01And I'm sorry I blew up at you the other day.
08:03I was just trying to protect my boy.
08:05I completely understand.
08:06We all want what's best for him.
08:10Mr. Jeffries, I heard that there'd been an argument between the two of you.
08:15With due respect, it really is none of your business.
08:19Okay, but whatever you were arguing about, he is going to remember it sooner or later.
08:24Then I'll deal with it when the time comes.
08:26Well, if you ever need any help or want someone to talk to.
08:31Thanks, but I know how to look after my son.
08:41Hang on, where are you off to?
08:42I'm going to have a walk. I'm sick of being in bed.
08:45Listen, I know it's boring, but you have to take it easy for at least the next couple of days.
08:48Okay?
08:49Come on.
08:56I ran into your dad outside.
08:58He's been to visit you quite a bit.
09:00Yeah, I keep telling him I'm all right.
09:03No, he's just worried about you.
09:05That's what parents do.
09:06Yeah, I guess.
09:08You two seem to get along pretty well then.
09:12Sometimes we fight about stuff, but since I've been in here, he's been okay.
09:18What kind of stuff do you end up fighting about?
09:21Just the usual, I guess.
09:26Have you talked to your dad about the accident at all?
09:31I asked him if he knew how I ended up in the old diner building.
09:41I don't know, I just...
09:44I keep getting these flashes and then it goes and...
09:48Well, the chances are that you're going to remember more and more as the days go by.
09:52But Aidan, if these memories are upsetting or disturbing you at all, you might want to talk to someone.
10:00Well, whatever happened, I don't care.
10:03And like Dad says, I'm lucky to be alive, so...
10:07Nothing else matters.
10:12Martha, we have been through this before.
10:14You are a murder suspect.
10:16And we know that Jack is too.
10:18He didn't do it.
10:19That doesn't take away from the fact that you two talking could be perceived as collusion.
10:25I just...
10:25I want to know that he's okay.
10:29Well, I'm sure Detective Buckton can track him down.
10:32Honey, Maurek, you have to talk to him.
10:34Please.
10:34Look, I can look after myself, but Jack, he's not strong enough.
10:39Oh, then what do you want?
10:41Just to let you know, I've sorted out everything with the detective.
10:45I beg you...
10:45What are you talking about?
10:47You've got nothing to worry about now, pet.
10:49The two of us have been chatting away like old friends all afternoon.
10:52Colleen, I need to know exactly what you told him.
10:55The truth which never hurt anyone.
10:57Oh.
10:57All about you and Constable Holden and Sam and how jealous she was.
11:02But I said to him Martha would never hurt her, even if the little minx did deserve it.
11:06He said I'd been very helpful and he was very clear now about the direction his investigation should take.
11:12You shouldn't have said anything.
11:14Well, it's no trouble at all, pet, and at least one of your aunties is looking out for you.
11:18Well, I have to get off to my cards night, but I wanted you to rest easy.
11:23Thanks to me, this whole nasty business is over and done with.
11:29Night.
11:32Stupid, stupid woman.
11:35Hey.
11:36Hey.
11:37How's Jack?
11:39Ah, he's still under sedation.
11:41It's Rachel's mother thing.
11:42Um, the police called here a couple of times this afternoon wanting to know where he was.
11:46What'd you tell him?
11:48That I hadn't seen him.
11:57How long are you going to let this go on for?
11:59I don't know, maybe a couple of days until he's strong enough to cope.
12:04How I'm going to tell him he's a suspect in his wife's own murder, I don't know.
12:23You're pathetic, Jazz.
12:24You couldn't even get Tony from Rachel.
12:26That's all finished with it.
12:27Yeah, because Rachel won.
12:29Sam.
12:30Also, what's the plan now?
12:31Go back to basics, try to sleep with any guy who'll have you.
12:33Not that you've got many takers now.
12:36Why are you sleeping?
12:37Because someone has to set you straight, Jazz.
12:39You're sad, desperate, alone.
12:41You're pathetic.
12:43I think, Dan, you always knew you'd end up like this.
12:47Where are you going?
12:48To get some money, please.
12:50Sam, wait!
12:51I'm lost.
12:51I don't need you.
12:53Nobody does.
13:17This is an unexpected pleasure.
13:19Anything I can do for you?
13:20Um, well, I was hoping we could have a talk, preferably in private.
13:25Okay.
13:26Come through.
13:31How long has it been since we've seen each other?
13:3410 years?
13:3411?
13:35Try 12.
13:36But I'm not here to reminisce.
13:38I'll take a stab in the dark, then.
13:40You're following up on the visit of your sister.
13:42Half sister.
13:44She's certainly got a lot to say for herself.
13:45None of which should be taken seriously.
13:47I take everyone seriously.
13:48Oh, well, in her case, that would be a mistake.
13:51So whatever she said about Jack and Martha, please ignore it.
13:54You know I'm not going to do that?
13:55It is the gossip of an idiot, and it's hardly relevant.
13:58Since when was the personal history of a victim's spouse not relevant?
14:02Fine.
14:03Let's talk about the personal history of the victim, then, shall we?
14:07Possession.
14:08Trafficking.
14:09Ex-husband who had underworld connections.
14:12Oh, and let's not forget that she killed Johnny Cooper,
14:14who may have friends who want payback.
14:16Is that it?
14:18Look, we'll explore all those avenues,
14:20but right now I'm more interested in looking at something closer to home.
14:23You're wasting your time.
14:24I think you're afraid I might find something.
14:26No, I'm not.
14:28Colleen Smart told me that Martha used to be a pole dancer.
14:31Oh.
14:31And according to his file,
14:33we know that Jack made a drug raid on the venue where Martha was working.
14:36So?
14:37Well, it's interesting, that's all.
14:39The guy who was running the place was dealing heroin.
14:42Um, is this going somewhere, Ross?
14:45What's that?
14:47Full autopsy report on Sam Holden, cause of death, heroin overdose.
14:51Somebody forcibly injected Sam.
14:52Two people, one to do it, one to hold her down.
14:55Now, you need contacts to buy heroin.
14:57A cop would have no difficulty making them,
14:59and we know for a fact that Martha had them.
15:02You're building a case on guesswork.
15:03It will never hold up, Ross.
15:05We'll see.
15:06I've got to chase up a call to CI.
15:09Have a look at that while you're waiting.
15:18Okay.
15:19Okay, how are you feeling?
15:22Is everything okay?
15:25I keep getting those flashbacks.
15:27Are they getting any clearer at all?
15:31Kind of.
15:34It's weird.
15:37It feels like I've done something wrong, but I don't know what it is.
15:43You don't have any idea at all?
15:45It's just, I feel kind of guilty.
15:51You know, almost like I've done something to be ashamed of.
15:57I'm sure that this is all going to come back to you when the time is right.
16:02What if I...
16:05What if I don't want to remember it?
16:08Aiden, you're not going to have a choice.
16:10But whatever it is,
16:12it's important that you don't try to keep it hidden or block it out.
16:16Okay?
16:21Hi.
16:23Just knocked off work. Is Aiden awake?
16:24Yes, he is.
16:26Listen, he's started to get his memory back.
16:29He doesn't know details as yet, but he is aware that something is wrong.
16:33You haven't been stirring him up, have you?
16:35I have absolutely no reason to do that, Mr. Jeffries.
16:37And in any case, he is going to remember everything.
16:43Well, I just don't know what to say to him.
16:46He's going to be asking you a lot of questions.
16:48And you need to be prepared.
16:52Then we'll find a way to make up work. We always do.
16:56As long as you understand that it's only going to make things worse by trying to shut him down.
17:01I don't know what the problem is between you.
17:04But I do know something about how damage can be passed on through generations.
17:08And the only way to break that cycle is to acknowledge it.
17:12No matter how painful that might be.
17:15Does what I'm saying make any sense?
17:19Listen, I meant what I said before.
17:21If you want any help, you let me know.
17:35Interesting reading. What do you think?
17:38I think if you're using this to try and build a case against Martha or Jack, it will fall down.
17:44I mean, for a start, the fact that Martha worked in a light club a year ago
17:48and may have come into contact with dealers is hardly admissible evidence.
17:51It's all pieces of the puzzle.
17:53It is gossip.
17:54It's more than that.
17:55And you know it.
17:56The women fought on the night of the murder.
17:58Martha had good reason to remove Sam from her life.
18:00Oh, that is absolutely ridiculous.
18:02Is it?
18:02Sam was married to Martha's soulmate.
18:05Soulmate?
18:06Oh, it's not like you to be so sentimental, detective.
18:09Mrs. Smart's words, not mine.
18:11Oh, yeah.
18:11Words that mean less than nothing.
18:12Always have.
18:13It's pure conjecture.
18:14We'll see.
18:16When the forensics come through, we'll have a clearer picture.
18:18And my niece will not be in it.
18:23I'm sure we'll be in contact.
18:24Look, I know you don't want to hear this,
18:27but Martha had motive and she had time to kill Sam and put her in the water.
18:30She is hardly strong enough to do it on her own.
18:32Jack is.
18:34Look, I've been around a long time, Morag.
18:36I know how these things work.
18:37Oh, really?
18:38And how many times have you latched onto a theory like a dog at a bone
18:41have been proved totally and utterly wrong?
18:44Not often.
18:51Well, I don't know about you, but I think after a day like today,
18:55we deserve a good bottle of red.
18:58Not that alcohol is the answer to any of life's problems,
19:01but it certainly takes the edge off.
19:06Tony?
19:06Tony?
19:18You poor Sam.
19:28You shouldn't have to deal with any of this.
19:43What's going on?
19:44Nothing, I just go back to sleep.
19:50I have a drink by myself.
19:53God knows I'm used to it.
19:58I'm still not convinced Roman's got the right idea for organising this area.
20:02He knows best.
20:03After all, he is a professional.
20:05Thanks, Colleen.
20:07So, what exactly does that make me?
20:08I'm just saying he's a man who values order in his surroundings.
20:11I can appreciate that.
20:13And, of course, I'm so glad that he's chosen Martha.
20:15They make such a handsome couple.
20:17Yeah, well, don't be marrying off just yet, darling.
20:20They've only been going out for five minutes.
20:22Hello?
20:23What's she doing here?
20:25In here.
