Harrow

Previously on Harrow...

Fern, I'm sorry.

I have to stay. Screw you, Dad.

Can I please see you? Make sure you're OK?

I'm OK. You abused my little girl.

She knew what she wanted. I'm so sorry.

He said he'd hurt Mum. I wanted to tell you,

whatever you choose, I'll be here.

So Fern let you win?

Don't let her down, because if you do I will put you on a slab myself.

Jack, were you ever tempted?

To falsify evidence?

Francis Chester.

He was the man who shot me.

I will take away everything that you hold dear.

Dr Daniel Harrow is to be struck immediately from the register.

It's my fault all this happened to you.

Max, you can't leave.

I can't stay.

Where's Fern? We have to find her.

Get off him!

I've done what you want to do, and it's always there.

I don't want that for you.

Is it over? Yes, it's over.

You do understand I'm on leave at the moment?

This young man was found dead about an hour ago.

What's it got to do with me? Found his passport in his pocket.

Your name is down as his emergency contact.

And there was a note.

He claimed he was your son.

And the note?

Ah, fingerprint team's almost done with it.

I'll let you have a look at it before we send it to Scientific.

Do you know what he was doing up there?

Not yet.

Do you know how he fell? No.

Was he alone?

Well, we don't know. You're like the anti-encyclopedia.

And that?

Well, apparently it wasn't recording in the hour or so

that he arrived and fell.

Switched off. You don't think THAT'S a coincidence?

We're looking into it, mate.

There was a car outside.

It was towed before the body was found.

Reported stolen. It's at the compound.

We're checking for prints.

Were you aware that you had a son?

It's complicated. Senior Sergeant?

Ta.

OK, look, I'll need this back once you're finished with it.

And, you know, I'll have a few more questions.

What does it say?

"Dad.

"I wanted to see you so much but I couldn't find a way.

"I found you had your own family and your own life,

"so I think it's better if I don't complicate things.

"I'd love to have known you.

"Signed, J."

Straight on.

Height and weight, then into CT.

Ah, Daniel, you know you can't be doing this.

Well, you can't, you're still being supervised.

I can if I'm supervised, but not by you.

Why, because I'm on leave? Because you're next of kin.

Well, I'm here and we don't have a manager to say otherwise.

Fairley's having a day off.

Harrow... what are you doing?

Measuring a deceased in preparation for a post-mortem.

This is not right. THIS is not right.

Did you spray those on?

I came straight from rehearsals when I heard.

Harrow, if this is your son, you cannot be involved in the PM.

We don't know if he is or not.

The PM is to establish facts objectively.

And I'm not capable of being objective?

Not in a situation like this.

And how would you know? Do you have children?

Right, I think you should go now.

Dr Harrow? I'm not leaving him.

You have to and you know it. I'm not going.

Harrow.

The Deputy Coroner is here for you.

I've been briefed.

I'm very sorry.

And you understand why Doctors Fairley and Molyneaux

will conduct the PM?

Yeah.

And I know you're not going sailing the Coral Sea

while this is unfolding, so you can consider your suspension lifted,

on the strict condition

you give no interference to Lyle and Grace.

I am to be fed twice a day and you need to change my litter.

Yeah, not really into cats.

Hey, come on, at least you can still work.

Yeah.

Ah, but before you do...

..um...

..can you help me get in touch with your son's mother?

We met in London,

when I was in my last year of post-grad.

Right, so she was a student, too?

No, she worked part-time in a Tesco,

around the corner from the teaching hospital.

Tanya.

I don't know what she saw in me, either.

I was a doctor, she ran a checkout.

I drank coffee and studied till midnight

and she drank ouzo and painted till dawn.

She had tattoos, and I hated needles, but we worked.

You know, we really worked.

Until I graduated and got offered a job back here under Jack Twine.

And Tanya came with you? Yeah.

She tried to find work

while I tried to prove myself working 15-, 16-hour days

six, seven days a week.

She had no family, no friends and most of the time... no me.

Then about three months in...

..she told me two things.

She was pregnant and that she was going home.

Alone.

I tried ringing, I tried writing.

I even tried sending money.

I didn't even know if Tanya had a boy or a girl,

or if she'd had it at all.

I even went over to try and find her.

Well, what about her family? Ah, she wasn't close.

When I did talk to them, they told me that I should just

go back and live my own life.

And I'm ashamed to say that I did.

I met Steph,

got married, we had Fern.

But I never found the way, I never found the courage

to tell them that I might have another child somewhere.

You should have.

Look, is it OK if I borrow these just for the addresses?

Yeah, of course. Go, mate, go.

Fern... I don't know how much you heard...

Plenty for one night. Listen...

I can't, Dad.

I would have at any time up until now.

Look, I know it's no way to find out.

No, it's not.

Every time I think that we're good,

that all the secrets are out, you just magic up another one.

A half-brother now? Oh, Fern.

Just tell me.

Where is he now?

In the morgue.

Fern.

Vente, half full-cream, half non-fat, split quad shots,

two decaf, two regular, no foam latte with whipped cream,

coconut sugar and a touch of vanilla essence.

You forgot the nutmeg.

They were out of nutmeg.

And a green tea.

Oh, well, I can make green tea in the kitchen.

Yeah.

PM done?

I'm going to apologise to the rest of the cast

of Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura.

Grace might take you through what we found.

Acute subdural haematoma?

And intrusion into the central sulcus by skull fragments.

Also a total break between his C3, C4 vertebra.

He would have died quickly. Probably.

Hopefully.

Is there anything to explain why he fell?

A fight? Drugs? Anything?

No signs of struggle. We're waiting on his tox reports.

What kind of a father meets his son like this?

Did you even know he was here?

I didn't even know what his voice sounded like.

Rattus norvegicus domestica.

Somewhat outside my usual duties,

seeing it is both an animal and alive.

So, something smelled a rat?

Jogger's dog.

So early morning jogger,

Fido goes nuts, chases after the rat.

Jogger chases after Fido and finds him.

Peter Craig Morrow.

Was he sleeping rough? Long-term homeless.

His usual haunt was about half a click that way.

And apparently the rat was his pet.

Yeah, we found a fixed blade knife close by.

We're printing and testing it. Wasn't stabbed here.

Joggers have tracked the blood in both directions.

Any witnesses? No.

We're checking council security cameras,

but the nearest one is on the other side of that park over there.

Was it a robbery? Still had his wallet with $12 in it.

I doubt he had any more worth taking.

Does Morrow have any friends?

Anyone who might know what happened to him?

Well, the homeless community isn't really saying much

'cause we're not in their good books at the moment.

There's been a number of assaults on rough sleepers lately,

and apparently we're not doing enough.

Alright.
