High Country

There's no record of an Andrea Whitford being born here,

nor was Elizabeth Whitford ever a patient of ours.

So this birth certificate, it's a fake?

It doesn't appear to be.

Then why does it list Fairhaven as the place of birth?

Did Dr. Phillips falsify the information on it?

I'm not here to embarrass the hospital or cause a scandal.

I'm running a homicide investigation.

It would appear

that wrong information's been recorded, yes.

Hey, you've reached Helen,

leave a message.

leave a message.

Could you please, um, call me back.

I really need to talk to you about something.

Nico. What's up?

I think we've ID'd

Patrick Haber's blackmailer.

The view outside Haber's office, two months ago.

There! Freeze it.

Zoom in.

Huh! It's Rachel Griggs.

I recognised her from one of your missing persons reports.

She's in Haber's calendar, but there's no patient file for her.

How many times did she see him?

Three times over consecutive months.

The day before each appointment,

Haber withdrew five Gs from his bank account.

That's 15 grand.

She had at least twice that much money hidden.

Do you know if she was pregnant?

I don't.

Any idea on what she had over him?

I'm betting it's got something to do with Artemis.

Hey.

Sorry to hear about you and Andie.

I'm sure you'll work it out.

Is that a prediction?

No. No, it's more a platitude. What are you going to do now?

Well, you're the psychic, you tell me.

No, I'm serious. I could use some advice.

What?

What!?

I think you should leave.

Hey, what'd you find out?

I spoke to Shane Griggs.

No evidence that Rachel was pregnant.

Yeah, figured as much.

And get this, she was pregnant about 15 years ago,

when she left home for the first time.

So Rachel's got a kid?

Well, no, according to what Rachel told her old man,

the baby died, stillborn apparently.

Okay, thanks.

Just getting some fresh air. There she is.

- Thank you. - No worries.

How you doing, Mum?

I need to ask you something.

Do you remember the day I was born?

You were living in Yarraville, in Kellaway Street.

Do you remember that house?

Hey, it's all good.

It's all good.

Here, I brought some old photos.

They might jog some memories.

Remember this?

The house! There's the old oak tree.

Oh...

Andie.

Can you remember back for me?

You know, to when I was born.

Can you remember the day, the day I arrived?

We were so happy, your father and me. We'd waited so long.

She came to the door with you.

Who, Mum?

Who came to the door?

Your father was over the moon, he was so excited.

So was I, I couldn't stop shaking.

So was I, I couldn't stop shaking.

Who came to the door, Mum?

Jean did.

Did Jean tell you where I came from?

What a wonder you were. Oh, look at you.

So small and precious.

What did Jean tell you, Mum?

Oh, we were so lucky.

No one wanted the brown baby but us.

Yeah, because Dad was indigenous, but,

where did I come from?

From Jean.

No, Jean brought me to you.

So who was my birth mother?

Did Jean tell you?

Did she say anything about me? Think Mum, please.

Mum?

Mum!

- Hey. - Hey, how is he?

The doctor's still not happy with his heart rhythm.

So Sam will be here

for at least another couple of days.

- Okay? - Thanks.

Your wife and Miers staged their deaths.

This was taken from a servo security camera

just outside of Darwin last Saturday.

If Claire wanted a divorce, she could have just asked me.

I don't think that's why they took off.

They probably had an escape plan in the works for years.

Escape plan from what?

The past. From Artemis.

Maddie wasn't just a once off?

That Claire, what, was involved in illegal adoptions?

They weren't illegal adoptions.

They were actually trafficking babies.

At least 35 of them.

Rachel Griggs is missing.

I think 15 years ago she was a victim of this racket.

Recently she started to blackmail them.

I think that led to a crisis.

Maybe Claire and Miers decided to protect themselves

by silencing the others.

By killing them?

Or maybe paying the Masons to do it for them.

You know Claire better than anyone.

You know Claire better than anyone.

Do you think she's capable of this?

Of hiring the Masons to kill?

I have no idea who my wife is anymore.

I've been sitting here watching you sleep.

I could have smothered you with a pillow.

I could have injected rat poison into your drip,

if I was a killer.

But you got me all wrong, Sam.

All the pain you've caused me, it pales in comparison

to what you must be going through right now,

facing your own mortality.

Who's the sick fuck now, hmm?

Who's the sick fuck now, hmm?

You've made my life miserable, Sam.

My only comfort is knowing

that you're going to die soon and you're going to die

having never caught Luke Samson's killer.

I hope little Luke forgives you, because I don't.

I've seen your future, Sam. There's nothing there.

Just a big black void.

You're going to hell.

I'll save you a seat.

Your prints were found inside the Hyundai.

I already told you, I drive Lachie's car all the time.

Yeah, which means you know where he kept it,

up in a garage on Buller.

Maybe you boys went up there

and took it without Lachie knowing.

Didn't happen.

You've worked for Harris for many years.

Are you and Claire close?

Not that close.

Not that close.

Michael Novak's abandoned car was found on Timbertop.

Nothing to do with us.

Jean Grierson vanished from the Buller to Stirling Trail.

So what?

She was killed with one of your knives, Liam.

What's Lachie going to tell me when I get to question him?

Well how the fuck would I know?

What if he tells me Liam's never been in his car,

or that your brother's never driven it?

Then he's a fucking liar.

I've got one of your knives as the murder weapon.

We sell dozens of them.

I've got your brother's prints in the car

that struck Rachel Griggs.

I can now connect Rachel Griggs to the other victims.

This puts you boys, firmly in the frame, Nash.

Or maybe, Liam acted alone.

Are we done?

Can I see me brother now?

Sure.

Sure.

Let's go.

Get up.

Get onto the Darwin Police.

Make sure they've got a territory-wide KALOF.

Yep.

How'd you go, Sarge? Nothing to charge them with?

Not yet.

Until Claire Harris is caught and extradited back here,

there's not a lot more we can do.

- Where's Helen and Kirra? - Come in.

I'm afraid Helen doesn't want to talk to you.

Yeah, too bad. I want to talk to her. Helen!

Then you'll have to phone her.

Face to face.

Face to face.

That's not possible, Sergeant.

- Are they in the studio? - No, they're in Melbourne.

They left a few hours ago.

Helen has an appointment with Benedict Roland

at his Richmond gallery.

I can't figure you out, Rose. What are you up to here?

Up to?
