00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,976
I've been worried sick
about Charles.
178
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,816
Still no word, I take it?
No, nothing.
179
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,856
Oh, Phryne, I can't believe it.
180
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,791
They think my Charlie a murderer.
181
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,736
They'll hang him. I know they will.
182
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,776
I...I can't lose another son.
183
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,456
I'll do whatever you want,
pay any fee.
184
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,856
Don't worry, Mrs. Freeman.
I'll do my best to protect Charles.
185
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Thank God.
And no payment will be necessary.
186
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,195
Vic and I were very close once.
That's enough for me.
187
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,536
Well, thank you, child. Thank you.
188
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,200

189
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,496
Did you know Leonard Stevens?
190
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,056
The murdered man? No.
191
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,856
Charles never mentioned him?
192
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,190
Not that I recall.
193
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,635
I saw them talking
together at the club.
194
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,314
The conversation got quite heated.

(EXHALES)
196
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,790
I need you to prove
my son's innocence, not guilt.
197
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,216
Do you have any idea where he is?
198
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,016
Charles has a set of friends,
199
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,296
frivolous, idle young men
who have no thought to work.
200
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,296
Life for them
is one big celebration.
201
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,336
Anyone he might have confided in?
202
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,216
You could try speaking
with Bobby Sullivan.
203
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,496
He and Charles are thick as thieves.
204
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,976
So all we've got to go on
is this Sullivan bloke
205
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,456
lodges somewhere in Richmond.
206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,256
From what I know. But he's not fond
of work and likes a bit of a party.
207
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,736
And Mrs. Freeman mentioned
208
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,336
that Charles and Bobby
play competition darts
209
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,136
at a hotel somewhere near
Sullivan's flat every Thursday.
210
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,834
It's gonna be hard to track him down
on that much information.
211
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,176
Kingston Pub runs a big darts comp.
212
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,056
Good! Now someone's thinking.
213
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,799
I'll leave it in your
capable hands, gentlemen.
214
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,536
This wound is small
and unusually neat.
215
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,336
There's no tearing present,
216
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,399
suggesting that the angle of attack
was more likely horizontal...
217
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,456
...like a rapier.
218
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,256
There was no swordplay
at the Green Mill last night.
219
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,976

220
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,216
Hello, Jack,
Constable Collins, Dr. Johnson.
221
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,736
I...I'm afraid this won't do.
222
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,376
Uh, I have never seen a woman
223
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,376
step foot inside
this building in my time.
224
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,176
Miss Fisher is under
the mistaken impression
225
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,016
she's a part of
the Victorian Constabulary.
226
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,816
Come on, Jack, Mrs. Freeman
has asked me to look for her son
227
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,216
and I promise to share
any leads I come up with
228
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,719
during my own investigation.
229
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,790
You may stay...on the proviso
you utter not one word.
230
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,518
Do you follow?
231
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,936
Most likely, the weapon
was some sort of thin knife,
232
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,315
a stiletto perhaps.
233
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,316
Or a hatpin?
234
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,936
It's possible.

236
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,896

were s-so many women, s-sir,
237

I didn't think to check.
238
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,136
You seem so certain
that Charles is guilty,
239
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,096
but pray tell me,
what was his motive?
240
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,736
Witnesses saw them arguing.
Perhaps his motive was money.
241
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,736
Then why did he leave
the cash behind?
242
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,216
Perhaps because you fished it
out of the deceased's pockets
243
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,336
before he had the opportunity,
Miss Fisher.
244
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,696
Charles needed cash. He practically
begged me to buy his plane.
245
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,096
But I don't believe
he's capable of violence.
246
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,056
His record speaks otherwise.
247
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,616
He has a record?
248
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,416
He was recently
charged with affray —
249
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,056
punched a man in a public bar.
250
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,278

The deceased — Leonard Stevens.

352
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,856
What will become of them?
353
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,336
Aside from being murder suspects,
354
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:29,479
they'll stand trial for sodomy
and if found guilty, serve time.
355
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,896
A jail sentence for loving someone?
356
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,736
I am the servant of the law,
not its master.
357
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,310
Well, in this case the law is an ass.
358
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,320
SULLIVAN: He'd been
blackmailing us for months.
359
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,976
Up until last night,
Charles had been the one
360
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,435
making all the payments to Leonard.
361
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,416
Each one was
supposed to be the last.
362
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,296
No.
But it never was?
363
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,994
I told Leonard
we had nothing left...
364
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,350
...not that he believed us.
365
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,656
He said he would go to the papers
with the photographs.
366
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,672
Is that when you'd had enough?
367
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,176
He had the plates hidden somewhere.
368
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,194
We couldn't go to the police
or we'd end up in jail anyway.
369
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,776
We were trapped.
370
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,713
And that's why you broke into
Leonard's apartment.
371
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,176
Once I knew Leonard was dead,
372
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,136
I knew the police would
be going over his affairs.
373
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,198
I wanted to beat them
to the photographs.
374
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,110
Do you think Charles
killed Leonard Stevens?
375
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639
I wouldn't blame him if he had.
376
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,314
Poor dear Charlie.
377
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,496
If the money on Leonard Stevens's body
wasn't Charles's, whose was it?
378
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,336
I suspect Leonard had quite a number
379
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:03,536
of unwilling contributors
to his bank account,
380
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,696
including a Mrs. Freeman.
381
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,616
Charles's mother?
382
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,856
I contacted Leonard Stevens's bank
383
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,096
for a copy of his
financial transactions.
384
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,616
Apart from a whole lot
of unexplained cash,
385
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,176
it seems that Mrs. Freeman
386
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,936
had been sending a cheque
every month for the last two years.
387
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,736
Maybe Charles
persuaded her to help him.
388
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,216
A mother's shame perhaps?
389
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,376
And she grew tired
of digging him out of trouble.
390
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,936
So his lifeline ran dry.
391
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,496
And he became desperate.
392
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,456
Desperate enough to try and sell you
a plane you don't want
393
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,154
and perhaps desperate enough
to kill someone.
394
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,936
Who says I don't want that plane?
395
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,096
Here, you take this.
You have that lean, hungry look.
396
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,680
Come on, Dot.
DOT: Yes, Miss.
397
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,896
So, Collins, did you ask
Miss Williams to the ball?
398
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,256
(SIGHS) I, uh...
399
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,096
I'm not sure about her, sir.
400
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,536
Good God, man. It's just a dance,
not a proposal of marriage.
401
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,896
I...I think she might
be a Catholic, sir.
402
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,136
Oh, for Godsake. It's not as if
she were born with two heads.
403
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,152
Well, that would be preferable
in the eyes of my mother.
404
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,256
I telephoned. Bert and Cec should be
here any minute now, Miss.
405
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,856
A job for you, Dot.
406
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,656
Is it dangerous, deceitful or dodgy?
407
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,256
This one's almost devout.
408
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,496
St. Anthony's in Alphington —

409

have been posted recently

Leonard Stevens,

00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,056
and a Miss Pansy Annabelle Shore.

You take the cab.
414
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,874
When you're done at the church,
meet me at Mrs. Freeman's.
415
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,056
Mrs. Freeman, you told me
you didn't know Leonard Stevens.
416
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,416
I don't see how it's relevant.
417
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,416
Not relevant?
418

Your son has been
accused of his murder.
419
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,256
Leonard Stevens
used to work for the family.
420
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,016
He claimed he was an accountant,
421
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,616
but he was nothing
but a scoundrel and a cheat.
422
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,016
I dismissed him.
That was a long time ago.
423
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,536
Well, he was being paid a princely sum
from your personal cheque account
424
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,416
for the past two years.
425
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,272
You clearly knew him well.
426
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,073
And you have remarkably
few regrets about his death.
427
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,456
I don't like your tone.
428
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,154
And I don't like being lied to.
429
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,879
Were you protecting Charles?
430
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:42,636
Charles was also
paying off Leonard Stevens.
431
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,637
Charles?
432
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,950
I presumed you knew all about it.
433
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,271
Leonard Stevens
was in possession of...
434
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,616
...compromising photographs...

no particular disposition.

He has just not found
the right woman yet. (CHUCKLES)
439

I don't know that he will ever
intend to find the right woman or...

00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,136
...any woman at all,
441
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,278

are anything to go by.
442
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,696

these photographs now?

PHRYNE: So how was church?
446
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,616
Mr. Stevens and Miss Shore's
wedding was cancelled
447
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,896
a day after the banns were posted.
448
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,776
Father Kenny thinks
the groom got cold feet.
449
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,016
So Pansy's a jilted bride.
450
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,416

Thank you, Dot.
452

appropriate name

Your fiancé made
a very comfortable living
457
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,856
out of keeping other people's secrets
nice and safe...for a price.
458
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,856
Leonard never talked shop with me.
459
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,696
I suppose you were too busy
460
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,712

that never came to pass.
461
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,616

ordering the invitations
for your big day
463
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,616
only to have Leonard get the jitters
and call the whole thing off.
464
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,136
It wasn't called off.
It was postponed.
465
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,357
Leonard has a business trip.
Shows how much you know.
466
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:40,776

Oh, what do you reckon?
He was a charmer.
476
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,192
Then I wouldn't blame you
for wanting to wring his neck.
477
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,376
There was one girl.
478
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,074
I could smell her perfume on him
a mile off.
479
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,616

Not one letter.
698
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,176
Didn't you wonder about us? About me?
699
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,656
All the time.
700
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,456
Well, that's some way to show it.
701
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,736
I came back to Melbourne.
When?
702
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,016
Three years ago
when Mother tracked me down.
703
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,256
She could hardly look at me.
All she did was sob.
704
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,953
I saw you arrive from the window.
705
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,456
I left before you came in.
706
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,136
PHRYNE: But you saw him again, Vic,
707
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,456
a few days ago at the Green Mill.
708
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,056
Yes, I was there.
Why?
709
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,696
To see Leonard Stevens.
He was blackmailing Mother.
710
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:24,816
He said he'd tell you I was alive,
711
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,856
that money was never
gonna be enough to end it.
712
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,656
She was frightened.
I had to do something.
713
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,336
Did you kill him — Leonard Stevens?
714
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,016
No, of course not.
715
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,656
PHRYNE: Well, somebody did, Vic,
716
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,816
and right now your brother
is a wanted man
717
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,976
because he also had a motive
to kill Stevens.
718
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,656
What motive?
719
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,136
Charlie?
720
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,878
He found out I had a lover.
721
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,633
You might remember him.
Bobby Sullivan.
722
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,352
You see?
723
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,256
Mother wanted her hero,
but you never came back, Vic,
724
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,096
not for her, not for me.
725
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,216
Look at you. And look at
the kind of man I turned out to be.
726
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,536
That's all she's got.
727
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,278
Charlie!
728
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,631
He won't get far.
729
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,837
Not unless he learns how to fly.
730
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,350
You flew my mother's plane.
731
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,833
Luckily, my skills have improved
since the first time you took me up.
732
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,278
Do you remember asking me
to visit your brother...
733
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,470
...if you didn't make it?
734
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,551
It took me 10 years,
but I kept my promise.
735
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,991
You haven't changed.
736
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,271
Neither have you.
737
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,314
Still dashingly handsome...
738
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,711
...in the right light.
739
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,536
NOREEN:
What's this all about?
740
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,154
We just have a few
questions, Mrs. Rogers.
741
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,639
Or is it Mrs. Reed?
742
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,096
STONE: Noreen, you don't have to
say anything. They can't force you.
743
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,936
I suggest you stick
to playing the banjo
744
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,816
and leave the law to me, Mr. Stone.
745
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,753
Look, anything you want to ask her
you can say in front of me.
746
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,736
If that's the way you both want it.
747
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,776
Maybe you should
wait outside, honey.
748
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,714
What? Why?
You've got nothing to hide.
749
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,349
We finally found out
what you didn't want anyone to know.
750
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,936
What...
751
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,096
...what are you talking about?
752
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,136
In this country,
and I believe in yours,
753
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,674
bigamy is a jailable offence.
754

What? You're already married?
755
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,256
It's not how you think.
756
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,536
I was 16 and a fool
when I married Jake.
757
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,456
I didn't know
what I was getting into.
758
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,472
No, no, no.
I don't want to hear this.
759
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,096
What else have you lied about?
Nothing!
760
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,670
None of this changes what we have.
I've only ever loved you!
761
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,336
He was a drunken animal, OK?
He used to beat her like a dog.
762
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,416
He wouldn't give her a divorce.
763
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,896
You let me marry her...
Hey, hey!
764
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,696
...knowing she was already taken, hm?
765
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:41,016
You guys wanted to be together.
I was just trying to help.
766
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,496
You helped yourself.
767

Getting us hitched was good
for the business, wasn't it?

You mercenary bastard.

You know, I always thought
you were a hack musician,
770
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,996
but you sure played me.
771
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,593
Stay here, Collins, and take notes.
772
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,336
Let's move on to the topic
of Mr. Leonard Stevens.
773
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,656
You recall him —
large, boorish, dead.
774
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,376
(SNIFFLES) Let's call
a spade a spade.
775
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,176
You wanna know if I killed him.
776
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,918
Did you?
777
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,816
Well, sure I did.
And I'd do it again.
778
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,936
The low-down dog deserved it.
779
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,736
What did you do with the weapon?
780
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,593
I smuggled it out in my garter.
781
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,136
Honey, it was so far up my thigh
782
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,992
I would've slugged you
if you even tried.
783
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,136
Later that night I got rid of it.
784
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:42,496
Where?
785
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,416
Inside the cistern
above the ladies' john.
786
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,296
How did you kill him?
787
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,056
I stabbed him.
788
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,559
Show me. Stand up.
789
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,576
Pretend this is the knife.
790
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:58,216
OK, show me how you did it.
Imagine I'm Stevens.
791
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:01,296
(SIGHS) I was moving
through with my drinks
792
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,856
and as I passed him
I just stabbed him.
793
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,359
One more time.
794
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,736
Are you sure you remember correctly?
795
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,400
It ain't something
I'm likely to forget.
796
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,856
A word outside, Collins.
797
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,996
One moment, Mrs. Rogers.
798
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,096
The angle of attack is all wrong.
You don't think she did it?
799
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,856
No, she's protecting someone.
The question is who?
800
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,416
Her husband, the cornet player?
801
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,336
That's what I thought too,
but he was on stage the whole time.
802
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:35,998
And too far away.
803
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,016
Better take a car to the Green Mill,
804
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,714
see if you can find
the weapon where she said.

My money was on you.
808
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,856
No, I gave him a scare. That's all.
809

what happened.

looked back at the band.

The cornet went awry.

814

and then all hell broke loose.
815

So what was Ben doing
that worried Noreen so much?

head home at first light.

off this murder charge,
