Janet King

Elaheh,

We know that Todd had a lot of money with him when he died.

So I need you to try and remember everything Todd was doing and saying last week.

It doesn't matter how small or useless it seems.

Ferrari 458 Speciale, personalized number plate P-B.

So, Todd Wilson was a hero on his wife's eyes, but he did do a spot of auto theft, Your Honor.

There's one embryo left, and... it, it's just sitting there.

Your Honor, if it is property, it's part of Ash's state, which she left to me.

Alright! I'm referring this matter to mediation.

This is Jane Carter.

She was driving the car you crashed into.

She has burns to 50% of her body.

Maj Hamilton, I put it to you that you did nothing because his weakness made you feel stronger.

You've got a damn hide.

And you, Mj Hamilton, had a soldier who killed himself because you prefered to see him suffer.

You want to get these guns off the street...

You need what's in my head,

and you better be ready for the shit storm it's gonna unleash.

By the way, did we ever got that balistics report on the bullets from the drive-by?

They shouldn't be too far away. - Mm, neither's Christmas.

I'm dead if I talk to you.

That gun was used in 2 other crimes.

The kneecaping of Felix Murphy, and the murder of Ashleigh Larsson.

I got out of the car.

I thought that Ash had tripped.

Ash! Ash!

I knelt by her side, turned her over.

Her eyes were open... but empty.

There been 18 other shootings in the larger south-west area.

What if he's still here?

Range of powers that the police can only dream of. A Royal Commission.

What could the twins see? I'm expecting them home any second.

That gun was used in 2 other crimes...

The weapon used... The murder of Ashleigh Larsson.

I wasn't just gona stand there and get shot too.

What'll you do with the embryo? It's part of Ash's estate, which she left me.

So George was murdered moments before he was gonna tell us who gave him his gun.

A fact that was suposed to be a secret.

So the obvious question is: Do we have a leak?

Inside the commission, unlikely. - But possible.

Intentionally I doubt it, maybe there's an outside chance it was loose talk somewhere.

He also lost half a kilo of coke in that car crash, so... pretty expensive stuff.

Not necesarily need a link from one of us to someone who want to kill him.

OK, so what do we do?

Just put our heads in the sand, say it couldn't be us, carry on.

Janet, Terry is all over this, why not we just wait and see what they find out?

Before starting any witch hunts.

OK, but until we know for sure let's at least keep all operations on a strictly need-to-know basis.

Morning! Morning Janet.

Do we know forensics found any DNA?

As for the rope on George's hands, around the facial bruising, and under the fingernails...

no result yet.

He must've been a terrible sod. Well this commission will not be intimidated we'll just carry on.

We may've lost George, but we still have Felix Murphy, yes?

Correct! He was kneecaped by the same gun used on the night drive-by,

and Ash's murder.

Significantly unlike all these others he's still alive.

He was shot in broad daylight at point blank range. Yes. So he saw who shot him!

Well he claims he never saw anything, but yes he must have, he knows exactly who shot him.

What was he? Drug courier?

Gambler.

Lord knows he lost everything and everybody.

His phone records link him to several short term money lenders,

but we never got enough evidence to make anyone a real suspect.

We need to get a summons. I'll get on it.

He won't talk. We can at least try.

And let's not forget about Todd Rossen, yeah? His murder and the drive-by have to be connected,

that's another way of interest. What about those missing 3 hours?

Still missing, sorry, they're just blank.

We tought if Elaheh did an appeal to the public.

Ask if anyone might have seen Todd that day.

Do those things even work?

Some of the time, yeah but for every real sighting you get a hundred false ones.

Alright, anyone afraid of a little overtime?

Let's do it!

Can I have a sec?

Keep your legs crossed darling.

You've known for months that the gun that killed Ash was used again on Felix Murphy?

Yes.

Alright.

OK, leaving aside your decision not to tell me because I know you'll say it's standard...

procedure to protect the integrity of the investigation...

Absolutly correct, and proper conduct considering...

It has driven me mad.

I've spent the last two years thinking it was all dead ends, and now I find isn't.

All morning it's been like this one question pounding into me: What else?

What else does he know, what else hasn't he told me.

Nothing. And can I believe that?

There is nothing else. How would I know that you wouldn't keep it all to yourself?

And why would you, when you know what it means to me.

We have worked together for years.

You know I wouldn't jeopardize anything. I can hear news about Ash and remain perfectly calm.

There's nothing tying Timothy's kneecaping into Ash's murder.

Yeah, right. Apart for the weapon.

You don't think that was investigated thoroughly. I know I don't know how was it investigated.

I put one of my best undercover officers, straight on it.

He worked for six months on Felix, he got nowhere.

I understand the significance Janet, whoever kneecap Felix knows Ash's killer.

We haven't gone easy on these, we have just come up against a wall.

Can we talk to this undercover officer?

Please.

I don't know if that's possible. But...

whatever he can give us on Felix Murphy might help.

OK fair enough, I'll look into it. Now is a good time.

When I can get to it.

It won't take long Elaheh, we're just gona pop in and have a quick chat.

It just be Heather and myself.

It's OK, Ammin doesn't need to be there.

You OK?

What about you?

Did I catch a look earlier, when I suggested we bring Felix Murphy?

Yes.

I thought so.

Me I understand why? My opinion.

It should've left open for discussion, considering it could be a dead warrant.

That said...

I think you're right.

If we talk to lots of others and don't summon Felix he's gona start looking like the odd one out.

And you know what that does to other people thinking. That he's already working with us.

So?

He's safer going you're way.

But you could've make it an open hearing, none of this closed door stuff.

Everyone's gota know that he kept his mouth shut.

Point taken.

How do you think they knew George was gona talk to us?

Well they would've know I got him arrested, everyone knows he generally did what I told him to do.

That's what kept him out of jail all these years. Wouldn't taken much to put 2 and 2 together.

He was a friend of yours, wasn't he?

You know how it is.

Once burned.

He mucked up a lot, wasn't a bad bloke, there's a few you rather been born.

Most of the blokes I represent treat me well.

They listen, watch their language.

Better behaving that a lot od potato heads, that's for sure.

And us prosecutors.

Your words, not mine.

Except we do see the pain and the damage of course.

If only you would spend more time with victims and we understood the defendants better.

Submiting justice instead of the legal system. A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Neither of us can say we never made a mistake though, can we?

I have my fair share of aborted trials. Lots of convictions too.

Heather.

Elaheh is right to speak to us.

You've got your wish. What's that?

Me spending more time with the victims.

Ah, is that, ah, priority?

I'm just looking at the prosecution of prestige car theft...

Can you drop that? Um, I need to talk to you outside.

Flat white?

I don't have any money, so...

Oh no, we can start an account if you like.

Thank you, I would love one.

How much do one of these cost to set up anyway?

Career change on the cards?

Oh, it's tempting some days.

Uh, not that much cheaper than a cafe.

You save on bricks and mortar, but then you have to pay council fees

every time you make a stop, and you have public liability, and...

The bureaucracy's expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

That's not me, that's Oscar Wilde.

'To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune,

to lose both looks like carelessness.'

Studied him at school too.

Hm.

Thank you. No worries.

Great!

Uh... You know that Ash and I conceived through IVF?

Yeah.

Ash's sister is taking me to court over the last frozen embryo.

Awkward.

I have to file an affidavit before the mediation,

and I've just found out it's the day after tomorrow.

Deb wants a court order giving it to her and I...

I don't want that. Well, at least not at the moment.

As Ash's partner, shouldn't it belong to you?

Well, it does, if it's property. If it's life, things aren't so clear.

The agreement that Ash and I signed was that in the event of separation,

then we would share the embryos equally.

And you only specified separation...

Look, I'd really appreciate if you could find me some law.

I've got to convince Deb that if she goes to court she'll lose, and then...

and then maybe we can talk about it properly.

Yes, of course.

Do you want to use it to try for another child?

Well, I just want the right to decide that in my own time, when I'm ready.

I don't want that decision made for me.

I know from the outside it probably seems quite straightforward,

but just I have this, um...

It's like an emotional attachment. It's...

Anyway, I know it's not rational.

I'll get to it.

Thanks.

Robbie Carter? Detective Inspector Andy Campbell.

I thought you should hear this from us first.

Last night, the man who crashed into your wife was killed.

She was semi-conscious for hours after the crash.

And her burns were terrible.

She'd smashed her head on the steering wheel and the pain was...

I can't imagine.

Since then it's been one long fight.
