[gentle music]

Elizabeth, come on.

Oh, don't forget your lunch.

Oh, good luck.

Here give me a kiss.

Bye, mom.

[dramatic music]

Mommy.

Mommy.

[tense tone]

[dramatic music]

[Davis] So you found
Elizabeth in the kitchen?

Ah yes, yes I did.

I was terrified.

To think that this could
happen in my neighborhood.

Right.

Mrs. Gilmore, you were telling me--

I was in my backyard.

Mrs. Gilmore, you were telling me

about Elizabeth's mother, Misses?

Judith.

Yes, Mrs. Chapman.

Her husband's Laurie Chapman.

I presume he's at work at the moment

although he hardly needs to work anymore.

Laurie Chapman who won the...

[telephone ringing]

Excuse me for a minute.

Chapman house.

Sergeant Davis.

[Male] Listen up if you
wanna see her alive.

-Who is this?
-I said listen.

Judith's been kidnapped.

She's gonna be chopped up
unless I get 50,000 quid.

Is Mrs. Chapman alright?

-I need.
-Shut up.

I'll call at three
o'clock with instructions.

Hold on, please.

Three o'clock.

Hello.

It's beautiful, Jean.

Just wondering though.

Mmm.

This little chap here

do you think he needs repotting?

Hmm, you're getting quite good at this.

Well, I've learned from the best.

Is that right?

Yes.

And the name of this one is?

Well, of course, yes, that would be the...

Well, that's your typical garden variety

velvety-petaled spotted hydrangea thing.

I think you should stick to medicine.

Maybe I should.

[telephone ringing]

I'll get that.

No, no, no.

You've got your hands full.

Blake.

Judith Chapman wife of Laurie Chapman,

the Laurie Chapman.

The lottery winner?

Very same.

We're trying to locate the next of kin.

Right.

50,000 pounds that's a lot of money.

And this bloke wants all of it.

Not enough here to suggest
he's dead I would've thought.

No, there's no arterial spray pattern.

This suggests more of a superficial wound.

But this is odd, Frank.

The blood here it's lying
in intact or complete drops.

In other words, the blood
has landed on the knife.

You mean after the knife
was already on the floor?

Exactly, yes.

We'll get it Dr. Harvey after
you've checked for prints.

Everything still in
place for three o'clock?

Yes, sir, I've spoken to the exchange,

and I'll be there when
the kidnapper calls.

Okay, good, good work.

Elizabeth, in the kitchen
you didn't cut yourself

on any of those broken plates did you?

No, that's good.

I tell you what you're
being very, very brave,

and I get the feeling you
might be very, very clever too.

Wouldn't you say so, Frank?

Oh, I think she's very clever.

Yes, so I need you to do something for us.

I need you to think.

Have there been any other
unusual telephone calls?

No.

And mommy hasn't had any arguments perhaps

at the shops or at your school?

No sir.

No.

And apart from in the kitchen,

have you seen or noticed
anything unusual anything at all?

Mrs. Gilmore usually
shouts at me over the fence

but today she came in.

She said she was coming
in to complain about

a stick banging on her fence.

Oh, well, I'm sure your father

will be here very, very soon.

I just want my mom.

Good day, fellas.

Chief Superintendent
Carlyle, this is Dr. Blake.

We're looking for Laurie Chapman.

Either of you know where he is?

He's not in his office?

No.

Then no sorry.

Did he come in today?

He must've gone out.

We'll, get him to call the station.

Kick her in the guts, man.

Sure.

Hang on, hang on I'm not
done with you two yet.

Laurie's a good bloke leave him alone.

Right back here.

Names.

Now.

Weston.

Cliff Weston.

Tom O'Reilly.

What time did Laurie leave?

Laurie's not in any trouble.

This is an urgent family matter.

Now do either of you know him well?

I went to school with him.

And we all played footy with
him and we worked with him.

He used to be a mechanic here with us.

Right, do you know his wife Judith?

No.

Do you have any idea where he might be?

This really is an emergency.

You could try the Bendigo office.

Wasn't so hard now was it?

Grew up on Grimstead Street.

Wrong side of the tracks.

Champion footy player, played VFL.

Retired due to injury.

Did his knee.

Tough as nails Laurie Chapman.

Yes, that's great but have we had

the pleasure of his company before?

No, sir, not even as a kid.

Moved to this address a year ago.

What about that neighbor?

Has she been any more help?

Not really even after Davis told her

he was a sergeant and
not just a constable.

Lucien we may need your
bedside manner on this.

Of course.

What do we know about her family?

Charlie's tracking down
her mother Irene Henderson.

And the knife?

We compared the prints to
samples taken from the house.

All Mrs. Chapman's.

[telephone ringing]

Hello, Ballarat Police.

No one's talking, no prints,

and thanks to this bloody rag

no shortage of suspects.

Lucky Laurie.

Ballarat's own Laurie Chapman from...

Oh, for the love of God
they printed his address.

Anyone in Ballarat could've done it.

Anyone in the state.

The Bendigo office called.

Laurie Chapman didn't
go to the meeting today.

He called in sick.

Right, circulate his rego and details.

[Ned] A message for you, doc.

Thank you Ned.

Wonderful.

[dramatic music]

A knife?

Normally at least I get
a body to work with.

Well, let's just be thankful
there isn't a body this time.

I completed the blood
agglutination test as you asked.

It's type O.

Right.

Which is very common.

However Judith is type B.

It might be the kidnapper's blood.

Perhaps.

Maybe she stabbed at them.

I found something else on the blade.

Intracellular protein structure is what?

Is cooked?

Well, then it can't be.

Human, hopefully not.

Oh, the bloody ham.

You sure there's no other tissue?

Nothing that's not cooked.

Well, Judith definitely drew blood

so we're looking for someone with--

Scratches, a cut lip.

Yes, but who?

Mrs. Gilmore how do you do?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Dr. Lucien Blake police surgeon.

Oh, how lovely to meet you, doctor.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine.

Sergeant Davis has been telling me

what a wonderful help you've been.

Oh, I do what I can.

Yes, of course.

Such unpleasant business
for this lovely area.

Well, unpleasant but, yes.

Yes, not what you'd be
used to around here.

Oh, not in the past no.

No, tell me how long have
the Chapmans been here?

Well, the Chapmans are not
really of this neighborhood.

Really?

Yes, I mean Mrs. Chapman
is somewhat common,

and her husband's an ex-football player.

Yes.

Fair to say you don't
really like the Chapmans?

Oh, no [stammering]

No, I wouldn't say that.

But they're trouble.

They attract different types.

Look just last week Mrs.
Chapman was arguing out here

with a very rough-looking fellow.

Brownish hair, unshaven?

Do you recall seeing anyone else

anyone loitering in the
street causing trouble?

No.

[car door slamming]

Different type like I said.

The apple doesn't fall
very far from the tree.

Give me a hug sweetie.

Don't you worry Bethy, doll.

Granny's here you'll be alright.

Mrs. Henderson we are actually
waiting on another call.

[Bill] You got everything you need, love?

My books.

Books, here we are.

They're mommy's.

Anything else Bethy dear?

My toothbrush.

Mama calls me Elizabeth.

I'll get that I'll be in the kitchen.

Don't touch anything in there.

We keep our toothbrushes in the bathroom.

In the bathroom.

Here we are.

Now which one's yours?

This one.

I thought so.

[dramatic music]

Judith has Addison's disease.

Now I'm no endocrinologist,

but I do know a thing or two about it.

The adrenal glands don't function.

There's a deficiency of cortisol,

so she needs regular doses of steroids.

Otherwise.

Otherwise she'll die.

How long?

Well, without her
medication a day, maybe two.

There's a steady decline

low blood pressure, vomiting,
convulsions, coma, death.

Alright, you take the call.

Me?

Yes, well Addison's disease

you know what you're talking
about far better than me.

Also the exchange is gonna trace the call.

Very good.

As long as we don't hang up at this end,

they'll trace the lines back to his phone

regardless of whether he hangs up or not,

but I need you to keep him
talking as long as possible.

That way the [ringing].

This is Dr. Lucien Blake
I'm with the police.

I want 50,000 pounds in
two brown paper bags.

Yes, but you need to know

Judith has a condition
called Addison's disease.

[Male] What.

Without her medication she'll die.

Now please just describe her
current condition for me.

No, she's fine now look.

Please listen to me you need
to get her some prednisone.

-That's prednisone.
-What.

Just ask her she'll
tell you what she needs.

[Male] Look I tell you what to do right?

Yes, yes I understand.

You really do need to get her some

prednisone from a chemist or a hospital.

I'm not doing that.

If you don't do what I say,

I'll tie her down so she gets chopped up.

Now you listen to me.

If she dies there is no money.

Do you understand that?

Now you get the prednisone.

I'm not stupid.

Get the money.

Alright, now look.

Hello.

You there.

Davis just radioed from the exchange.

It's a local phone box.

Alright go, go.

Very odd he didn't say
where to leave the money.

[dramatic music]

[police siren blaring]

He really has no idea what he's doing.

Total amateur.

Which makes him even more dangerous.

Judith.

Who are you?

What do you mean missing?

I should be out looking.

Mr. Chapman, I have my best men out there

searching for her as we speak.

The best thing you can do for us right now

is answer a few questions.

Oh, god my daughter Elizabeth.

Where's my daughter?

Elizabeth is currently
staying with her grandmother.

Right.

Sir, can you tell us where you were

between the hours of 8:00
a.m. and three o'clock today.

I was at work.

Well, no you weren't.

You see we've already been down the depot.

I was working just not at the depot.

I had a meeting in Bendigo.

Right, was this the meeting
that you called in sick for?

You care to try again?

Mr. Chapman, please just
tell us where you were.

Then we can concentrate on other leads,

and we can find your wife, yes.

I was with Dulcie.

Dulcie have a second name?

Young, Dulcie Young.

She's a conductress.

We went to Hepburn for a picnic.

I see.

So you were having an affair

and then planning to
run off with the money?

No, no I'm not running anywhere.

I don't even have the money.

Really.

That's just to advertise
the lottery, okay.

This doesn't make any sense.

No, you know what doesn't make sense?

Is that you just happen to work directly

opposite the phone booth where
the ransom call was made.

You care to explain that?

I think it's best if you

accompany the senior
sergeant down to the station.

No, no what about Jude?

Don't worry we'll keep someone here

just in case there is a call.

We've only had the phone two days.

Mr. Weston.

Yeah.

Cliff.

Cliff, we're looking for Dulcie.

Over there.

Dulcie Young?

That's my name don't wear it out.

Chief Superintendent Carlyle.

This is Dr. Blake.

We're investigating the
kidnapping of Judith Chapman.

What you mean Laurie
or Mr. Chapman's wife?

[Blake] Do you know Judith?

No, I've never met her.

Where were you today between
8:00 a.m. and three o'clock?

Not here I was rostered
on for the evening shift.

So where were you?

Look I really don't have time,

but we can do this down at the station.

No, no, I can't.

Dulcie we're not here to
judge you or embarrass you.

We're only interested in
finding Judith, alright?

Now you need to tell us the truth.

I suppose he told you?

Well, I suppose he had to.

I was with Mr. Chapman, Laurie.

We've slept together.

We're in love.

Right.

Do you happen to have his
home telephone number?

No, but it's written on
his board in the office.

Everybody likes Laurie.

Laurie never sack anyone,
report them, or complain?

No, the only person he
ever complained about

was his mother-in-law.

[clock ticking]

All considered Bethy's okay.

Feeling cooped up but I thought
it best to keep he indoors.

The kids around here are a bit tougher.

Mrs. Henderson tell me do you have

Laurie and Judith's phone number?

I've got it written down somewhere.

Have you given that out to anyone

or ever used it yourself?

No.

We don't have a phone and
I prefer to pop around.

Right, since you've been
back in town you mean?

Tell me was that before or
after they won the lottery?

Are you suggesting I
kidnapped my own daughter?

Oh, of course not, Mrs. Henderson.

Just trying to ascertain all the facts.

I'd better be getting
Bethy something to eat.

Good afternoon.

Mrs. Henderson, if I may

did you and Judith have any disagreements?

What's he been saying now?

Well, we'd very much like
to hear your side of things.

It's only fair.

Jude and I had a tiff every now and then

just like every mother and daughter.

I'm happy she's risen up in the world,

but you can't forget where you're from.

[dramatic music]

I think it's time to
get the press involved.

You think that's a good idea?

A public appeal could really work.

We need all the eyes and
ears we can get on this.

Alright, I'll meet you there.

Hey.

[dramatic music]

[dog barking]

[Patrick] Unfortunately, I think it'll be

totally out of the question.

Oh, Frank.

No no look we're done here.

I wanted a public appeal
but the answer is no,

so if you'll excuse me I
have a missing woman to find.

Tomorrow morning's
layout's almost finished.

Of course we'll help,
Chief Superintendent.

Edward, I was just explaining
that late changes like this

-cost us an absolute fortune.
-As the new editor

of the Courier I'm fully aware

of the costs involved
in the print process.

The press have a wider social role.

I imagine the Melbourne papers
are hammering on your door.

Very loudly.

We're hoping to find her by
tonight, but just in case.

You need a contingency plan.

Of course, yes.

Maybe a front page appeal

will give the locals the inside running.

Front page he didn't even
ask for a front page.

Come with me, brief me.

Edward, perhaps you could
mention her illness.

She needs prednisone.

I can spell that for you.

Rose, get the details off Blake thank you.

Frank, there was a potential suspect

outside Irene's just after you left.

Six-foot, stubble, brownish hair.

Right, I'll get Charlie onto that.

Edward has lifted profits.

He knows how to follow up a good story.

Yes, by doing things like

printing the lottery winner's address.

Oh, for god's sake, Blake.

The lottery gives ordinary people

something to aim for, doctor.

What ordinary people aim
for and what they can get

are quite often two very,
very different things.

This is all about greed.

Everyone in their place.

Social order you sound very
conservative today, doctor.

Do I?

Not all change is good, Ms. Anderson.

Now scribble this down for me.

Prednisone.

[telephone ringing]

Simmons.

[dramatic music]

Yes.

Alright, Mrs. Thornton,
we will keep that in mind.

Thank you very much.

What the hell's going on here?

This morning's edition has
ignited a lot of interest.

Mainly people saying how terrible it is.

Someone claimed it was the Soviets.

No real leads as yet.

It says here The Courier
is offering a reward

of 100 pounds to the first
reader with information

leading to the rescue of Mrs. Chapman.

Not really what we had in mind.

He'll be organizing a
vigilante group next.

What's going on with the search parties?

Well, we're finished at
the depot and at the house.

We'll start a sweep of Perry Park

all those caravans next and then--

Check the pubs, the boarding
houses, any vacant blocks.

Chemists I want to know if
anyone's asking for prednisone.

Also this chap the doctor was
pursuing at Irene's house.

I saw him outside the Chapman
house yesterday morning.

He fits the description of someone

that Mrs. Gilmore described
arguing with Judith,

six foot tall, unshaven, brownish hair.

What happened with Mrs. Gilmore?

Yes, she has the phone number,

but she's never used it
never gave it to anyone.

Right.

Alright everyone listen up.

Time is running out for Mrs.
Chapman so let's keep pushing.

We can't just sit back

and wait for this kidnapper to call back.

-Understood?
-Alright, chief.

-Yes.
-You got I boss.

Alright, Laurie Chapman what about him?

Well, apparently he was pacing
his cell all last night.

Is he still free to go?

Let me check something first.

So according to the Lottery Commissioner

under the rules a prize
is paid after 30 days.

The paper said they'd received the money

and of course there's a photograph.

That was just to promote the next draw.

Mr. Chapman was happy to play along.

[Blake] So he was telling the truth?

Yes, well about that anyway.

Mr. Chapman, as part
of the release process,

I have to make sure you
haven't sustained any injuries

no cuts or abrasions.

[Laurie] No, have you seen Elizabeth?

Yes she's coping as
well as can be expected.

You're going to pick her up?

The best thing I can do
now is go find her mother.

Of course, Mr. Chapman?

I'm going to have to a look
at your medical records

just check your blood type.

I have nothing else to hide.

Call Dr. Spencer I'll let him know.

[Jean] Lucien is that you?

Sorry, Jean, I'm just passing through.

You didn't come home last night.

No.

I'm sorry, Jean, honestly.

I should've called you.

It's this kidnapping business.

Yes, I know I've seen the paper.

The poor little girl.

[Blake] Yes.

The victim's 10-year-old daughter

was rescued from the scene
by an observant neighbor.

Marjorie Gilmore.

Observant, certainly.

Not exactly caring.

She was Margie Jones when I knew her.

She married the owner of the
factory where she used to work.

I'd heard that she'd taken
on some airs and graces.

What were you looking for?

Prednisone.

I thought you might need this.

Oh, I don't know what I'd do without you.

Well, neither do I but you'd be doing it

wearing yesterday's shirt.

Now the kidnapper
threatened to chop her up.

Where does the Courier
get that kind of detail?

Well, Chief Superintendent Carlyle

thinks the press need incentives.

[dramatic music]

He actually said, "Tie her
down so she can get chopped up.

"Tie her down."

Now why would he say it like that?

[dramatic music]

The phone box.

We've got a phone.

[dramatic music]

If you don't do what I say,

I'll tie her down so she gets chopped up.

[bus horn honking]

[dramatic music]

[muffled screaming]

[tense tone]

[suspenseful tone]

Are you sure you're okay?

Oh, fine.

No concussion.

Hobart says the old
bloke's name was Bluey.

Homeless.

Always hanging around
here watching the trains.

This time he saw something
he shouldn't have.

You sure I can't get Dr. Harvey for you?

Frank, I'm fine.

Thank you though.

Looks like he may have
heard some of what you said.

Would that have helped?

Painkillers.

Useless I'm afraid.

Boss.

They found nothing in the yards

no witnesses, no tracks.

Well, we'll have to expand the search.

They can't have just disappeared.

[camera bulb flashing]

Is it true that you missed Mrs. Chapman?

This is not the time, Ms. Anderson.

Not the time.

Lucien.

Everything alright?

Jean.

Been a very interesting morning.

Poor chap.

He was homeless, innocent.

Uninvolved.

If I'd just...

Oh, I nearly had her, Jean.

I very nearly had her.

You're doing the best that you can.

[gentle music]

Cause of death, asphyxiation.

The airway's been compressed.

There's damage to the larynx

and the hyoid bone
might've been fractured.

Strangulation.

Yes.

The marks are quite diffused.

No lines or cuts he was probably

strangled by hand.

We'll know for certain in the morning

once the bruising's come up.

Yes.

What did you see Bluey?

A woman tied up you tried to help.

He came and he had to kill you.

But the hunger for air

would've caused you to struggle.

Anything under the fingernails?

Plenty of dirt but no blood.

I'm still examining his clothes.

They're very worn and dirty.

The last thing those
gloves would've grasped

would've been the killer himself.

What are they?

Oh, little diamonds and little clubs

like what you'd see in
a deck of playing cards.

Lucky symbols.

Not for Bluey.

[Bill] Oh, no Davis says
he's walked with the gardens

Victoria Park the lookout still nothing.

Alright, well, tell him
to move to the highway.

Check every shed, every humpy.

Mrs. Beasley, the doctor
is still on his way.

I know I thought you might all be hungry.

Very thoughtful of you.

Has anyone called?

No, not the, um, call we were hoping for.

Oh, poor woman.

Kept me awake thinking about it.

Did Mr. Chapman buy the
lottery ticket himself?

Um, far as I know, yes.

It's just that when I bought my ticket,

I noticed that most of
the customers were women.

The ladies were all talking about it.

But it's probably nothing.

No, it's actually a very good question.

Bill, get on to the Lottery
Commissioner and ask, okay.

Lucien, what do you have for me?

Not much I'm afraid.

We do have something.

We found these in Bluey's gloves.

He would've been

clinging to his killer

clawing at his clothes and look.

You see, some of these are
diamond-shaped, some club-shaped.

I have absolutely no idea what they are.

What's he saying, Bill?

Mrs. Chapman bought the winning ticket.

It's in her name.

Well, hang on that's
not what the press said.

Not what Laurie said either.

Right.

Well, these little buggers
are driving me mad.

I think I know what they are.

Those are chads.

From bus tickets, why?

They were found at the building

where Judith was being held.

Dulcie's very sweet on you.

I mean you're her manager,

ex-footy champ everyone's hero.

I'll go so far as to say she idolizes you.

Dulcie didn't do this.

These are all over the buses.

Dulcie says that you slept with her.

That you're having an affair.

-You're in love.
-That's not true.

Who bought the bloody
lottery ticket, Laurie?

Alright it was Judith.

Judith bought the ticket.

She doesn't like the spotlight.

Right, so the check's in her name?

You two have a joint account?

Yes, why?

Well, with her out of the way

you bank the check run off with Dulcie.

I told you Jude doesn't
have the money yet.

No, but she found out about Dulcie

so you had to act now.

There's nothing to find out.

I'm not sleeping with Dulcie.

Why would she say you were?

Because I changed my mind.

We argued.

It was a long drive back
to Ballarat believe me.

Right.

So just the two of you?

No one else saw you?

Yeah.

His alibi rests with Ms. Young.

Neither of them can actually
agree on what happened.

Yes, and if his blood matches

what we found at the crime scene,

well, we may well have our man.

[Irene] You're an idiot, Rod.

Shut up woman.

[Frank] Hey, hey enough, Enough.

We were at the chemist.

We saw him running out of the bank.

Tried to pass a check as Laurie Chapman.

Name's Rod Brunel.

He met her outside.

Mr. Brunel let me take a
look at that nose of yours.

Does it bleed often?

No, it doesn't.

And it wouldn't have bled now except he.

Hey.

Alright, just give me a minute.

There we are.

Nothing's broken.

Alright.

You and I let's have a
little chat, Mr. Brunel.

Bill, could you get Dr.
Harvey to test his blood type?

Also Mr. Chapman's medical
records may have come in.

Now if either of them are not type O

might be able to eliminate someone.

-Okay, doc.
-Thank you.

[soft knocking]

Ms. Henderson.

Irene.

Is anybody here?

Hello.

[soft music]

So you're Elizabeth?

Rose.

Where's Grandma?

She went out.

To lunch?

Early this morning before breakfast.

She went looking for her friend.

Have you got a bag?

Good better go grab it.

I'm going to take you somewhere safe.

Is that alright with you?

I didn't know that the check was forged.

Irene said that Jude gave it to her.

Well, I don't blame you for trying.

Really I don't I mean
your girlfriend drags you

all the way to Ballarat with
the promise of a big payday

and then Jude turns around
and says [gasping] no.

I mean that would make my blood boil.

I didn't touch Jude.

And yet you ran off yesterday afternoon.

So this morning you go out.

Now you either were off forging a check

or you were strangling a man to death

and moving Judith to a new location.

So, which one was it?

What I swear I don't
even know where Jude is.

Irene says here's the check.

Jude's given it to me.

Let's go and cash it.

Yeah.

And you believed her, why?

Ah, because they're mother and daughter.

Exactly they're family.

Even though you argued with Judith

over money on her doorstep only last week.

I suppose the old biddy
next door told you.

I bet she didn't mention that she got me

to hock her silverware.

Too proud for the local pawnshop.

She wanted me to fence it in Melbourne.

You certainly have a
way with the ladies Rod.

You were with Irene a while back.

Suddenly you reappear after
her daughter wins the lottery.

Fancy that, Frank.

But when it stopped looking
like it might pay dividends,

you went to Judith directly.

And when that didn't
work you kidnapped her.

It was tearing Irene up arguing with Jude.

I went around to explain,

and yeah okay to ask her for money.

Jude she didn't even wanna know.

Then she disappeared.

It wasn't me.

[dramatic music]

Rod bungled passing a check.

You really think he could
pull of a kidnapping?

And all this happened

whilst Judith is still missing.

You think I'm not worried
sick about my daughter?

[Frank] Well, you have a
funny way of showing it.

Irene did you know Rod had been

to see Judith about the money?

Afterwards.

Yeah.

Shouldn't have done it.

But he shouldn't have had to.

Not that it's Jude's fault either.

She wanted to help you?

Then she changed her mind.

She said it was all tied up.

That was Laurie talking.

I'll charge Rod for the check.

I've got nothing much on Irene.

Mrs. Gilmore does have money troubles

but really she's hardly likely.

Again as for Laurie--

Ah, sir.

Dr. Harvey tested the blood.

Rod Brunel is type O.

Ah, same as the blood
we found in the kitchen.

Yes, however she's received

Laurie Chapman's medical records as well.

He's type O also.

Excuse us.

Look who I found all on her own.

We stopped for an ice-cream.

The police will take care of you now.

The doctor is very nice.

The Chief Super is nice

and Sergeant Davis, well,
he's a bit of an odd duck

but he's alright too.

Jean.

Jean.

Lucien, I've saved some lunch for you.

How lovely.

Is there enough for two?

Well, of course there is.

Not very hungry.

No, but that was lovely.

Thank you Mrs. Blake.

You're very welcome.

You've got lovely manners.

And I'm Mrs. Beasley.

The Doctor and I aren't married.

Why not?

Well, we used to be
married to other people.

Now we live together so that
I can help him with his work.

Do you love him?

[soft knocking]

[Blake] I'll get it.

I think perhaps we should
clean up these dishes

and go into the garden.

What do you think?

Okay.

Lucien.

Frank.

How's young Elizabeth?

Fine, she's just having lunch.

Very good.

The press.

Fact of life these days but
also a double-edged sword.

Look Melbourne is getting very restless.

They want me to charge someone today.

Melbourne.

This is all about
sweeping everything aside

before that second lottery draw.

Everything points to Laurie Chapman.

The chads, the phone box,
the derelict building

they all say bus depot.

A lot of people work at that depo.

He's the right blood type.

It's a very common blood type.

He knew the phone number.

Yes but we can't definitively prove

who knew it and who didn't.

Lucien, his alibi is full of holes

unaccounted for when those calls came in

and then there were no
calls when he was locked up.

No calls after he was released.

He lied to police and
he has the most to gain.

This kidnapping turns to a murder

he inherits all the money
himself and for his mistress.

I'm gonna have to charge him.

Frank, if we charge the wrong person

and Judith in fact does
die it will be a disaster.

You think I don't know that?

Superintendent.

Mrs. Beasley.

Ooh, there's a random magic wand.

Ah.

That can make the grass turn into.

What about that little treasure?

She'll become a ward of the
state or perhaps go to Irene.

Lucien, do we have any new evidence

any information whatsoever
that can point us to our man?

[gentle music]

Not yet.

Where's Elizabeth?

Well, I don't have her.

I know you've got her [gasping].

I told you.

Why would I be looking
after your granddaughter?

Bloody snob.

You know I knew you when
you were as common as muck.

Your own daughter doesn't wanna

have anything to do with you.

Ladies, please.

Oh, doctor, she was trying
to get into my home.

She's got my Elizabeth.

She doesn't, Irene.

I promise you Elizabeth's perfectly fine.

But Judith is still missing

and here you are the pair of you

fighting like naughty children.

Now, Irene, please.

Thank you so much, doctor.

Please feel free to come

and use my phone to call the police.

Oh, I'm sure that won't be necessary.

Mrs. Henderson's just
worried about her family.

Oh, well, if you don't
call the police I will.

It's people who get above their station

that cause all the trouble in the world.

I see.

And of course you speak with some

authority given your background.

I thought you of all
people might understand.

I don't need people in the area

to remind me where I came from.

Mrs. G...

Marjorie, I know things are
difficult for you at the moment.

But quite honestly it's the
Rod Brunels of this world

who aren't to be trusted not
people like the Chapmans.

And do you know what?

If they make it through this,

they're going to need a good neighbor.

And perhaps you will too.

[Irene] Am I under arrest?

No.

Well, are you gonna arrest her?

You know she doesn't have
anything to do with it.

Yeah, I know.

I just I had to take it out on someone.

And I can understand that.

She's right you know.

Jude doesn't want much to do with me.

Oh, I'm sure that isn't true.

I spent years taking her to doctors.

Somehow she pulled through.

Now she's made a new life for herself

better than I ever did.

I'm proud of her.

And I know I don't fit in.

But without her I'll be left behind.

And no-one wants to be left behind.

[gentle music]

Irene, I need to make a phone call.

Funny thing jealousy, isn't it?

Dulcie.

You can't really envy someone

without being close to
them somehow, can you?

I mean we know you were envious of Judith,

and we know you were with Laurie

when the kidnapper first called.

What are you saying?

You told anyone who'd
listen about the two of you,

but you never actually
slept with him, did you?

-No.
-No.

You lied because he rejected you.

-I didn't kidnap Judith.
-Now rejection

that's an interesting thing.

I think Laurie...

I think Laurie left someone behind too

long before you arrived on the scene.

Cliff has known Laurie since school.

What's he on about?

How's your nose?

I thought you had a cold.

Because when we first saw you,

you had to check that it wasn't bleeding

like it did when you snatched Judith

and she slammed her head into it.

I got no reason to hurt Mrs. Chapman.

No. No.

But what about Laurie, hmm?

You played football with him
before he hit the big-time.

You worked with him side by side,

but he was the one who got promoted.

I mean for heaven's sake
you've known him all your life,

and yet he never introduced you to Judith.

And the lottery, well,
that was the last straw.

[Dulcie] Cliff.

I don't know what he's talking about.

You thought he was your mate.

He just

left you behind.

Judith.

Where is she?

Fell out of the sky for bloody Laurie.

Why did he have it all?

Cliff, we make our own luck in life.

Now, you listen to me where is she?

[men yelling]

[Frank] Cliff we already have you

for the murder of Bluey Watson.

Self defense he attacked me.

And now you've as good as admitted

to the kidnapping you stupid bugger.

I'm not stupid.

No, no you're not.

You're not stupid.

You made a clean getaway, left no clues.

It was a very, very clever plan.

All you had to do was tell
us where to leave the money,

and we'd have exchanged
it for Judith gladly

as long as she was alive.

Now is that why you won't
tell us where she is?

No.

No.

'Cause you bloody killed her.

Isn't that right?

I didn't murder anyone.

She got sick I tried to help her, I did.

Look she got pains.

I gave her a powder.

Then she started vomiting and shaking.

Then she just faded away.

I never meant for that.

Hang on a second.

What you're describing is a thing

we call an Addisonian crisis

where a patient slips into a type of coma.

She might still be alive.

[dramatic music]

I didn't kill her?

She was in pain, convulsing,
and then nothing yes?

She wasn't moving.

Cliff, are you even certain she's dead?

You might still be able to save her.

Now don't you want that?

Don't let her die now.

[police siren blaring]

[tense music]

After.

Doc, here.

Frank, we've got a pulse.

Quick on the radio for an ambulance now.

[soft music]

You were right, Lucien.

The truth is I had an unfair advantage.

Yes, what was that?

I know what it's like to lose a family.

Thank you, doctor.

Well, you are very welcome, Elizabeth.

Would you say thank you to Mrs. Blake too?

Ah, well, the thing with Jean...

Of course I will.

A few details and a comment.

What this is it?

Yes, it's the perpetrator all the details.

It's an exclusive statement.

Where's the photo, the
happy family reunited?

Carlyle didn't let me
in the room, but this--

I'm selling the sizzle not
just the steak here, Rose.

-If you're not up to the job--
-I am trust me, I am.

Just type these up please.

You come with me.

[Blake] It was lovely to see

that little girl smiling again.

And Judith Chapman?

Doing well thankfully.

I'd say she can expect
to make a full recovery.

Oh, thank goodness you got to her in time.

Well, we were lucky.

And that little girl still
has her family tonight

because of you.

[soft music]

Jean, would you mind.

Would you mind just waiting
here just for a moment?

[Jean] Alright.

Right.

[soft music]

[gentle music]

Jean, would you mind
standing for me please?

Actually you know what let's have a seat.

Jean, this was my mother's ring.

Lucien.

And I would very much...

[soft knocking]

That's probably, Charlie.

Hold that I'll be right back.

Perfect timing, Charlie.

[Jean] Lucien, who is it?

My wife.

[dramatic music]
