Derek?

- 'Lucien.'
- We need to talk.

Somewhere public.

Come alone.

You don't trust me?

You will listen to what I have to say,

and then this is over.

Public enough for you?

Inside.

All of this, Derek?

All of this, just to put
me back in the field?

We're going to war in Indochina, Lucien.

I can stop it, but I need men
on the ground, experienced men.

Add an Asian wife, you're quite an asset.

I am not an asset. Neither is my wife.

Your attention, please. My
name is Dr Joanna Bainbridge,

and it is my privilege to welcome
you to the Ballarat Observatory.

We shall now open the observatory roof.

What we are about to witness is
what is called an annular eclipse.

The moon doesn't totally
block out the sun.

Please ready your projectors.

Primitive people believed
eclipses to be the work of gods.

I'll tell you what you're going to do.

You're going to quit your practice,
you're going to leave Ballarat

and come with me.

- No.
- We belong together, Lucien!

No, we don't.

.. will appear as a ring of
fire around the dark moon.

No more games. This ends now.

You do what I tell you, or I will
take everything that you've got --

your wife, your daughter,
your granddaughter,

your precious housekeeper, all of them.

Lights, please.

They're all dead, Lucien.

Lights! Get the lights!

Get out of the way.

Rose -- ambulance, police. Now!

Special Branch are going
to be all over this.

It happened when the
eclipse was in full swing.

The room was dark. There was a gunshot.

- Do we know where Lucien is?
- No.

He got Rose to call me,
then he disappeared.

Best we keep that to
ourselves, understood?

Detective Inspector Llewellyn
Sullivan, Special Branch.

- You must be Frank Carlyle.
- That's right.

I'm not going to lie to
you, Chief Superintendent --

the army is going to be
following this one very closely.

My role here is to make sure
that everyone does their job.

Is that going to be a problem?

I think we can manage that.

Your police surgeon signed off yet?

He'll be here soon.

I'll get out of your way, then.

Inspector.

Iris. Where's Mrs Blake?

- She left a couple of hours ago.
- Do you know where she went?

Lucien!

Mei Lin, where were you?

I was out. What's happened?

Alderton is dead.

I went to meet him. He was
supposed to be on his own.

- There was another man with him.
- Did he kill Derek?

I just... I don't know. The thing
is, while he's still out there...

Mrs Blake? It's Frank Carlyle.

Mrs Blake.

I've just been past your
surgery. You weren't there.

Any reason why you buggered
off from a crime scene?

Well, needless to say,
you're needed for the autopsy.

As you can imagine, there's plenty
of official interest in this one.

You lock the door behind us and you
stay inside until I get back, yes?

Frank, Alderton was threatening Mei Lin.

I arranged to meet him, alone,
and there was another man there.

Who? Sergeant Robert Hannam.

Hannam severed a man's windpipe
a few years back in our morgue.

- Never convicted.
- National security.

Surprise, surprise.

Anyhow, the lights went
out, they attacked me.

When the lights came back on,
Alderton was on the floor.

Hang on -- why would this
Hannam bloke turn around

and attack Alderton if
they were both after you?

I'm still trying to work that out.

A friend of yours?

Once.

How well did you know him?

You see that?

- That was a serious wound.
- Yes.

Japanese bayonet, on a
roadside in Chiang Mai.

This was your work?

I still can't believe he survived.

Looks like cause of
death was a single wound

to the base of the skull, most
likely from a blade of some kind.

But I was just thinking about it --
it must have been very thin and round.

At least five inches long.

Yes.

Whatever it was,

it passed through the cervical
vertebrae into the spinal canal.

Into the skull through the foramen magnum.

Into the medulla, severing the
brain from the spinal column.

It's a very lucky strike.

Or very accurate.

- Meaning?
- This is textbook.

Whoever killed Alderton
has a military background,

I'd say, Special Services.

That, or medical training.

The eclipse was at its height
when I heard the gunshot.

Would it surprise you to know that

the cause of death wasn't a gunshot wound?

- What was it, then?
- We're not disclosing those details

at the moment.

The dead man was a Major Derek Alderton.

Was he known to you, Miss Bainbridge?

It's Dr Bainbridge.

The military was hoping for
permission to use our equipment

to track satellites.

Major Alderton was part
of those discussions.

We've gone through Major
Alderton's possessions.

Is that your letter?

You know it is.

So the day before Major Alderton dies,

you send him a letter

in which you describe him
as 'a threat to humanity.

Everyone would be better off
if you just upped and died.'

Because he had sent me a
letter calling me a stupid woman

who thought she was more important
than the country that raised her.

Said he'd have me discredited,

and there was nothing I could do about it.

Could I see that letter?

I destroyed it, along with
all his other correspondence.

Where were you standing
when the lights came back on?

I was nearby.

What, you weren't operating the telescope?

That's not recommended during an eclipse.

Besides, the telescope
has been experiencing

some mechanical
difficulties at the moment.

There was another man,

kneeling over the Major when
the lights came back on --

well-dressed, sandy hair, a beard.

I expect you'll be wanting
to speak to him about it.

Why is that, Doctor?

Proximity. Isn't that obvious?

Earlier, when I mentioned that there
were no bullet wounds in the body,

you didn't seem surprised.

Well, there didn't seem sufficient
blood for it to be a gunshot wound,

certainly not one that would kill him.

You sound fairly definite about that.

Before I became an astrophysicist,
I studied medicine for five years.

- Jean. Um...
- What?

I thought Mei Lin would
be safer here, with us.

Of course.

This man, it's the same man that I
threatened with Christopher's gun?

Yes -- Sergeant Robert Hannam.

Do you really think that Derek
Alderton was going to kill you?

I'm absolutely certain of it.

I'm sorry.

Derek didn't tell me about you,
or that our daughter was alive.

And then he started threatening me.

He said he'd send me back
to China. He would kill her.

We dug this out of the back
wall of the observatory.

According to your report, there
was no trace of a bullet wound

or gunshot residue on the body,

which leads me to the question
of who fired that gun, and why.

I did.

And you conveniently
forgot to inform me of this?

I told you they attacked me.

Lucien, that place was packed,
and you decided to shoot him?

It was dark, he knocked my hand.

Frank, he was trying to convince me
-- force me -- to rejoin the Service.

He was using Mei Lin and our
daughter as bargaining chips.

I called him to arrange a meeting.

Well, obviously you didn't trust him.

For bloody good reason!

We spoke, Hannam arrived,
the lights went out.

Anything else you're not telling me?

I'm sorry. That's it, Frank.

Sergeant?

- Anything I can do, Doc?
- Find Hannam.

Cheers.

Calling me at work, an intimate
drink in romantic surroundings.

Not getting sentimental, are we?

Not at all. This is where
I take all the girls.

I'm actually trying to find someone.

- Ha! Work. - Hm. - Is this
about the observatory murder?

Well, you were there.

Did you see him?

Just before the eclipse. He was
at the observatory, near me.

Is this your killer?

Well, he might be.

We're finding it difficult
to get any information.

Did you see anything
else that might help us?

Only that he headed into the car park

and got into a green Studebaker sedan.

Does that help?

Is Lucien alright?

Well, you know the Doc. When
he's not fixing things up...

- He's making a complete
mess of everything. - Mm.

So when can I write about this?

Ah, probably never.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

The Soviet Union has three
working satellites, the US, five.

More are scheduled for launch
next year by both sides.

And you're meant to be
assisting the military

- with their observational program?
- There are other objects in the sky.

Studying those might be a better
use of our limited resources.

Look, I was excited at first.
NASA had just been set up.

We were going to make amazing discoveries.

We were going to show people
the wonders of the universe.

But it didn't happen that way?

They started telling us
where we could look and when,

what of our results we could
publish and what we couldn't.

Major Alderton became quite adamant.

And all the letters that you sent him?

They were friendly at first.

Are you aware of the Society for
Social Responsibility in Science?

I'm a communist spy now, am I?

No, but you are a member
of a suspect organisation.

Well, you can thank Major
Alderton for me joining.

I hadn't thought about
it until I dealt with him.

You think I killed him.

Major Alderton was stabbed --

back of the head, into
the base of the brain.

And that would take a certain skill set,

and you've had five years' medical study.

Let me show you something.

I was studying to be a surgeon,

but then I developed rheumatoid arthritis,

so I had to find something
else to do with my time.

It takes a very thin blade
to do that kind of damage,

and as you can see, I can
barely hold a pencil.

Mei Lin?

You alright?

I never wanted any of this.

Perhaps it would have been better
if we'd never found one another.

You wait inside for a moment.

Dr Blake? I'd like a word, if I may.

Detective Inspector Llewellyn Sullivan.

Do you mind if I come in?

Please.

Thank you.

I read your autopsy report.

Interesting.

I felt like I should make the
effort to meet you in person.

Frank Carlyle thought it
would be best for me to, um,

steer clear of the
investigation, given I was there.

And that you knew him.

Well.

And even with all of that, I'm not
sure that Carlyle got it right.

Regarding the Major, I've
been asking my own questions.

And?

Well, it seems, within his
own branch of the Service,

there was growing reservations
about his recent conduct

and judgement.

You think they may have...

It is possible.

I understand that you served
in Intelligence with the Major.

I'm just a country doctor, Mr
Sullivan. I thought you knew that.

Indeed.

Doctor, I spoke to Rose...

It's alright, Charlie. Please, join us.

- Fancy a drink?
- Ah. Thank you.

So, tell me, how did you get on?

Well, we know Joanna
Bainbridge had medical training,

and that Hannam was driving
a green Studebaker.

- Robert Hannam?
- Yes.

You leave it to me.

Let's just hope he hasn't gone
to ground, because if he has,

we'll never find him again.

I mean, you've met the man. Where
do you think he might have gone?

Hard to say, but I do know this --

wherever he is, he'll be working
out the most efficient way

to tie up any loose ends.

Of which you are one.

Yes.

Is there anything else about
this case that I should know?

No.

To service.

I think, given the circumstances,

I should probably take the lead on this.

Yes, I agree.

Put the towel down and step
up against the wall, please.

Step back against the
wall, please, Doctor.

Alright.

I was here yesterday.

- Sergeant?
- Thank you, miss. That'll be all.

If you wouldn't mind.

Our superintendent tells
me that you were armed

when you had your meeting
with Major Alderton yesterday.

Look, what about Hannam, have you
put any effort into locating him?

And what about Dr Bainbridge?
Weren't you going to speak with her?

Dr Bainbridge suffers
from rheumatoid arthritis.

She can barely grasp a pencil.

Yes, but have you checked with her doctor?

- There are treatments
available... - Sir?

Frank, this is lunacy!

- What the bloody hell is going on?
- Someone's trying to frame me!

Well, they're doing a pretty
decent job of it, aren't they?

Yes, they are.

- Look, I know you have to lock me up.
- Yes, I'm afraid so.

Maybe we could use that,
turn it to our advantage...

- Doctor, I'll need your belt and tie.
- Superintendent, is this really...

- Just do it.
- We right, Chief Superintendent?

Alright, Doctor?

Let's start from the beginning.

- Davis? - I gave Dr
Harvey that blade, boss.

She's running the tests you wanted now.

Good.

- Do you really think he did it, sir?
- Not sure yet, son.

Wouldn't be the first
time he's killed a man,

I can tell you that much.

I didn't realise you were there.

- If you're hungry, I can...
- Do you hate me?

I know I would.

Is there anything you need?

I think I might go and get some air.

Don't call out.

Don't do anything.

Where's Blake?

I don't know where he is.

You can do that all you
like, I don't know.

I need to see him.

Maybe you should make an appointment.

You tell him, we need to meet, but
he leaves the police out of it.

Yeah, I understand.

Well, I'll do that as soon
as I can. Thank you very much.

Thank you for calling,
Charlie. Can I see him?

Mrs Blake, I assume?

Mind if I have a word?

We found the knife in Mei Lin's
room and Lucien was there.

- Did he hurt you?
- No.

- Show me your hands.
- They're only bruises.

Here. At least this
will keep you occupied.

- The house isn't safe, you know.
- Yes, I've already thought of that.

- And do you know where to go?
- Yes. I'll take Mei Lin with me.

No, he was never in the room without me.

We found him there alone today, Mrs Blake.

I gave him the key.

Yesterday afternoon, your
husband came to see you.

Was there any period of time THEN
when he was in your room without you?

No!... I went out. When I got
back, he was waiting for me.

- So he was there before you arrived?
- He was outside the room!

What was your husband's
reaction when you told him

that Derek Alderton was
threatening you and your family?

He was displeased.

Enough to harm the man?

Failure to answer our questions
truthfully may result in charges

laid against you, and that
may also reflect poorly

on any attempt made by you to become
a naturalised Australian citizen.

He was looking after me. That's
the only reason that he was angry.

Lucien is a good man.

I am sorry.

I'm sorry about everything.

Mrs Beazley, they're
heading back downstairs.

Also, the boss is going to place
an officer at the house for you.

I'll be fine, Charlie. I'll
make my own arrangements.

Very well.

Will you be alright?

Yes, of course.

I'll be fine.

As I said, Dr Harvey, I'm very sorry,

but I'm under strict instructions.

- Dr Harvey.
- I want to speak with Dr Blake,

but apparently, I'm not allowed.

Yes. He's currently
indisposed. What have you got?

The wound on the body matches the
size and shape of the weapon.

The blood type on the weapon matches
that on the towel, AB positive.

- Major Alderton?
- Also AB positive.

And considering only 3% of the population

has that particular blood type...

The knife was obviously the
weapon used to kill Alderton.

It's not a knife.

It's a small, thin rod with a
base that could be a handle,

but it's intended for some other purpose.

It's precision-engineered and calibrated,

as the measurements on the
side of the rod indicate.

Where does it come from? Some
complex, highly accurate machine.

Please tell Dr Blake to let me know
if there's anything else he needs.

Of course. Doctor.

- Boss, this is stupid.
- Davis...

You know the Doctor has nothing
to do with any of this.

- You can't just stick him down in the cells.
- He's right, Frank.

I mean, I want to smack the
bloke most of the time, but...

I don't remember asking for
either of your opinions.

Motive, necessary skill
-- are they present?

Yes, sir.

Means, opportunity, subsequent
behaviour -- do they all line up?

Yes, sir. Given that, if
this was anybody else,

- what would you be doing?
- Locking him up.

You keep your personal
feelings out of this

and you follow the trail of evidence.

A failure to do so will result in
disciplinary action. Am I clear?

- Yes, sir.
- Sir.

Good.

Doc?

Charlie.

What can I do to help?

You know how you can help me, Charlie?

Trust me.

Dr Harvey thinks the murder
weapon was some sort of part

from a complex machine.

- A machine?
- Mm.

Like a telescope, perhaps, hm?

Interesting.

Makes it opportunistic.

Someone was there, they saw
a chance, they took it.

Mind you, that's a helluva thing to do

on the spur of the moment, isn't
it, in near-total darkness.

Of course, it might also explain how
I could have killed him, correct?

Well...

Yes.

Bloody hell, Charlie. Is Rose about?
Tell her to go and talk to that maid.

Someone got into that room.

Doc, she's not police.

Well, she should be, she
asks enough questions.

- Alright.
- Alright.

Also, tell Dr Harvey to look through
Bainbridge's medical records --

anti-inflammatories, anything
that might help with her symptoms.

Then go back to the observatory and
ask her about that bloody telescope.

Will do, Doc.

And, Charlie...

.. thank you.

Please!

Look out!

Sir, look out!

You alright?

Why did you attack me?

- I thought that man
had come back. - Who?

A man came today, and he said he'd...

.. kill me if I told anyone.

This him?

Yes.

You told my boss there was
no way you could hold a knife.

You seem to have a pretty good grip to me.

There it is.

What is it, Doctor?

This tool allows me to
adjust the aperture.

How long has it been missing?

Two days.

So, before the eclipse?

That morning, I came in, and it was gone.

I'm going to lose all this, aren't I?

All of this.

My entire life's work.

Everything I've ever believed in.

He was going to take it from
me, the whole universe...

.. just because he could.

Lights, please.

Doctor?

What's that?

I'm guessing your old station
boss didn't like you very much.

William Munro.

Created a dossier on you.

Very detailed.

He also managed to track
down your agency file.

How many men did you kill,
Doctor, during your service?

Two.

Bao Cheng in Taipei,
Victor Gennardy in Macau.

I've been wondering if their deaths
have anything to do with this.

You remembered their names.

It's the least I can do.

How did you do it...

.. just walk away from the Service,
become that simple country doctor?

Believe it or not, Mr Sullivan...

.. I love what I do.

Still, a big change.

I'm afraid it's not looking good, Lucien.

Quite.

But explain to me --
please explain to me --

how I killed him.

Well, accepting the fact you've
got more than enough motive...

Ah.

.. you arranged to meet Major
Alderton at the observatory.

You took a gun with you for protection.

But you managed to find a weapon there

that they couldn't trace back to you.

You improvised, as per your training.

Then, when the eclipse was at
its height, you made your move.

Lucien...

.. if there's anything that you
can tell me, anything at all

that will help you get out
of here, now is the time.

I've been speaking to Frank.

About what, exactly?

About your transfer to Melbourne.

Special Branch have requested a much
more thorough conversation with you.

They arrive at ten
o'clock tomorrow morning.

Get some sleep. You're going to need it.

Thank you, Cec.

Jean, would you like to finish my shandy?

Why not?

Do you actually like it?

It's an acquired taste.

Lucien saved my life when
he put us on that boat.

Neither of us would have
survived the occupation.

Remembering that helped me afterwards,

when I had to keep going.

I can understand why he married you.

What is it?

Goodnight, Jean.

Derek Alderton was in love with me...

.. and I slept with him before the war.

He was a nice man, and I had
fun. Life was like that then.

I didn't see him for 17 years.

I was in a camp in Hong
Kong when I saw him again.

Why are you telling us all this?

He'd changed, become cold...

.. vicious.

He wanted to sleep with me again,

and he tried to turn
me against my husband.

You should know that we're
charging your husband

with the murder of Major Alderton.

I thought only Chinese law was corrupt.

Do you actually think he'd kill
Derek right there, in public?

You just told us why.

Jealousy only works if you love someone.

Lucien doesn't love me...

.. not anymore.

I followed them to the observatory.

I walked into the room when it was dark.

And when Derek tried to
kill Lucien, I stabbed him.

Alright. What sort of knife did you use?

It wasn't a knife, it was
part of the telescope,

a kind of thin rod with a handle,

up through the vertebrae and
into the base of the skull.

Wait a minute.

Your husband told us that he
left the observatory to go to you

at your hotel.

Ask him if I was there when he arrived.

I kept the weapon in my pocket.

When he was gone, I hid
it in the mattress.

Is Lucien still downstairs?

Why, has he confessed?

No. No, he hasn't.

Well, then.

Mei Lin.

Frank, what's going on?

A complication.

No (!)

Not her?

She confessed.

She got all the details right.

Special Branch?

Off the table, I'm
afraid, for you, at least.

What the hell do we do now?

Where's Mei Lin?

- She confessed.
- What?

To Alderton's murder.

I... I know.

We need to work quickly.

Robert Hannam?

Well, I spoke to a mate in
Special Branch. He's missing.

They're starting to panic.

Very loyal, he was there
at the time of the murder

and we know he's dangerous.

But, why? Why would he kill
Alderton? What about Dr Bainbridge?

Well, there's her moral objection to
the military use of scientific work.

Repeating prescriptions of cortisone,

for her hands, apparently.

He was going to end her life's work.
I think that really got to her.

- She told you this yesterday?
- Yeah.

But I really don't think she's involved.

- Which leads us to Mei Lin.
- She confessed.

She's trying to protect you, that's all.

She knew what the murder weapon was.

I told her. She came to the morgue
this morning, said you'd sent her.

She asked questions, I gave
her answers, then she left.

Also, that piece from the
telescope went missing

the morning before the eclipse.

Sounds well planned to
me, quite impressive.

Yes.

Jean, what did Hannam say?

He said he wanted to talk
with you, without the police.

Of course.

Charlie, you and Alice,
go talk to Bainbridge.

We need a blood test to
confirm whether or not

she is using cortisone.

Rose, Hannam might be
hiding and sleeping rough

but he's still got to
eat. So, stores, markets.

See if anyone matching his description

has been stocking up on canned
goods, other non-perishables.

Get this one back to the Colonists'
Club so I know she's safe.

Get yourself to the
club! I'm staying here.

Alright.

We know what we've got to do.
Let's meet back here in two hours.

Charlie, eyes open, yeah?

You sent them away to
keep them safe, didn't you?

How long do you think we'll have to wait?

Not long.

Hands where I can see them,
and I want that gun of yours.

Sergeant Hannam. Right on time.
I'll leave that there in good faith.

You fancy a cuppa?

Thank you, Jean.

Why did you kill Major Alderton?

Because he betrayed our friendship.

He used my family against
me, and he seduced my wife.

So I chose a very public
venue to get my revenge,

relying on hand-to-hand combat
skills I haven't had to use in years

against two men, despite the
fact I had a loaded revolver

concealed just under my jacket.

Then, of course, I
'tended' to the Major --

checked for a pulse, that sort of thing --

before finally fleeing the building.

Does that sound at all plausible to you?

Really?

And what about you, Robert?
You've killed before.

- Only on orders, Doctor.
- Were you ordered to kill me?

If necessary.

The Major thought you would
agree to his proposal.

And if I didn't?

If you posed a threat,
I would silence you.

And you didn't question that?

Alright. Jean, I...

Robert, I...

Tell me this. Why...

.. why would someone
want to kill Alderton?

Because he had become a liability.

- To whom?
- To us.

You know, he mentioned a war in Indochina,

and that he believed he held
the key to a peaceful solution.

I don't know what he believed.

I don't even think he knew anymore,

certainly not what the
brass told him to believe.

You're saying, he thought he
was above following orders?

I'm saying he made mistakes, Doctor...

.. bad decisions, decisions
that cost men their lives.

So they tried to send him
to Canberra, to a desk.

He refused.

I see.

Sergeant, someone followed
us to that observatory.

They knew... they knew
we would be there. How?

Your phone's been bugged
for months, Doctor.

Lucien, you in there?

Don't be a bloody idiot. We
had no idea he was coming.

Thank you for the tea.

Lucien, are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

Where's Hannam? He was
here. He's not the killer.

Then who the hell is?
What are YOU doing here?

Improvising, seeing the plan fell through.

There WAS a plan?

Yes.

To see if someone would
approach us at the station.

Then we decided we'd
try to lure Hannam out.

Frank organised to have me
transferred to Melbourne.

You see, that would have
put me out in the open.

Where you were going to use
yourself as live bait? Some plan.

Yes, well, it doesn't matter now.

We thought it would force
someone to show their hand,

but it hasn't bloody happened.

Yes, it has.

Mr Sullivan.

Now, don't shout.

Don't shout, don't shout.
No-one can hear you.

Major Alderton created an awful mess,

and I'm the one that has to clean it up.

Don't!

I'll try and make this as quick as I can.

Sullivan.

Mei Lin! Hang on.

It's alright, Mei Lin. It's alright.

You're going to be alright.

Lucien!

I've got you.

It's alright. I've got you.

I've got you.

Derek Alderton had become a liability.

But he refused to retire.

So I decided to sort it out, right?

It's why you murdered him, yes.

Derek Alderton knew the rules, Lucien.

We follow orders unconditionally.
That's our world.

And if you don't, you become expendable.

You know that better than anyone.

It's your world, not mine.

So, how did you figure it out?

Quite simple, really.

At the end of the day, it was all
just a question of time and space.

Think about where we all were
in relation to one another.

A crowd between us, distance to cover

in darkness, all in the
span of just a few seconds.

There's no way Hannam or Dr Bainbridge

could have traversed that
distance, that space,

in the time available to them.

There had to be someone else in that
room, someone we didn't know about.

Once you'd killed Alderton,
all that was left to do

was to plant the evidence
with a little help from Iris.

You remember Iris, Frank --
from the Soldier's Hill Hotel.

I wonder, Mr Sullivan...

.. did you pay her for
her stellar contribution?

Well, domestic wages
are hard to get by on.

It seems the only thing you
didn't take into account

was just how many people
you could blame for this.

Did I miss anything?

No.

I think that just about covers it.

Boss?

The military police are here.

I'll get that, sir.

Hey, Sullivan...

Drop the gun! Drop it!

Drop it!

It's over, Sergeant.

Sergeant Robert Hannam, 3rd
Regiment, 4th Division.

Army No.26052.

Why did Derek hate you so much?

You used to be such good friends.

Those years we spent together...

.. in the camp...

.. that place...

.. we all came out very different men,

certainly, I did.

And Derek?

They broke him.

I witnessed the whole
thing. It was just...

It was just awful.

He gave up. He...

He wanted to die.

You know me. I couldn't have that.

So I saved him. I, um...

I kept him alive, and I don't
think he ever forgave me for that.

I'll get it.

And you never told anyone?

No.

No. I didn't think it was right, somehow.

He's here.

Thank you, Jean.

I'm ready.

Six hours until the ship leaves,

which is plenty of time to get
us down to the port and boarded.

Here are passports for
you and your family.

It's been arranged they'll meet
you at the consulate in Hong Kong.

Thank you.

I'll make sure she gets on board safely.

I can't thank you enough, Frank.

Mei Lin, I...

It's time for both of us
to start our lives again.

You travel safe.

You too, Lucien.

Jean...

.. there's something I need to ask you.
