-[Harrow] Previously... -[Nichols] He drowned.
He boarded a ferry last night.He never got off.
[Harrow] Simon turns up at the bar,
asks for Moran, and within 90 minutes, they're both dead.
[Grace] I stand by my autopsy,
and I'm not reopening Simon's body
on some crazy hunch.
[Harrow] I know what Simon found.
A link between Brendan Skeane and Francis Chester.
They shared a cell together.
The handwriting is identical.
I'm convinced he killed Simon and Moran.
[Pavich] Simon diedbecause he was burningthe candle at both ends.
-Why? -Because he was trying to be like you!
[Harrow] Simon's dead, and I think it's my fault.
There is no conspiracy.
No more chasing ghosts.
[wind gusting]
[theme music]
-Harrow... -Harrow!
[gasps]
[exhales]
[cell phone rings]
Do you know what time it is?
Yes. Pack a bag. I'm sending you west.
[Harrow] Where?
-Euralla Creek. -Where?
It's 100 miles south of Cunnamulla.
Google it.
There's only one flight in and out every day,
-hence the early wake-up call. -[elevator dings]
Can't someone else go? I've gota stack of PMs to do here.
Well, Grace and Iwill take care of that.
You know how I feel about the outback.
It'll do you good to get awayfor a couple of days.
Now, don't worry,you're not going alone.
[deep exhale]
[Fairley sighs]
It's a beautiful country, isn't it?
Yes, if you're partial to dust,flies, and dueling banjos.
I suggest you choose your clever remarks more carefully around here.
Or what?I'll be lynched by the locals?
Fingers crossed.
I still don't getwhy Maxine
had to send twopathologists to an MVA.
I'm sure she had her reasons.
[sighs]
Wasn't the local sergeant going to pick us up?
Maxine said he'd be here.
I'll give him a call.
[cell phone beeps]
[sighs] Great. No signal.
So, how do we get to town?
Coming or not?
Cute.
Lyle Fairley?
Judy. Don.
I thought it was you! Welcome home.
It's been too long.
Yes.
[chuckles]
Fancy seeing him!
You're from here?
I grew up here.
Well, why didn't you say so?
You didn't ask.
They love you.
What's wrong with them?
[indistinct chatter]
-Hello, doctor. -Hello sergeant.
That's all you gotfor your little brother?
Come here! Come on, bring it in!
Bring it in!
You're his brother?
Senior Sergeant Colin Fairley. You must be Dr. Harrow.
Lyle's told me all about you.
-Don't believe a word of it. -He said you'd say that.
So, how's our niece settling in?
Well, it's early days, but she's doing well.
-She's doing amazingly. -I'm not surprised, being in such good hands.
Mostly.
And Maxine said therewas a death on the team?
Yes.
Shall we take a look?
Before we do, there'ssomething you should know.
Bob and Diane?
It's tragic.
You knew them?
Everyone knew them.
They ran the local bakery.
We think they were heading in to work when their vehicle was struck.
Diane was killed on impact but we found Bob on the road, unconscious.
He was thrown from the vehicle.
-No airbags? -They weren't even wearing seat belts.
-Is that unusual out here? -It is for Bob and Diane.
Will Bob pull through?
They're operating on him now.
-He's in a really bad way. -Tell me about the sedan.
The driver was a 26-year-old male.
Ethan Chambers, he died on impact.
[Harrow] A long way from home.
[Colin] Adelaide. We ran a background check.
He's got a charge list as long as your arm.
Assault, theft,
sale and possession of stolen goods.
-Including cigarettes? -Yeah.
There's a booming trade for cheap ciggies
in the mining towns.
He did very well, too.
We've found three grand in cash so far.
How did this happen?
It's not a busy stretch of road,
and yet, they ranstraight into each other?
Sarge? One of the boys have found something.
[Colin] What is it?
Dr. Harrow?
[Harrow] A fingertip.
[woman] Look at him! He hasn't changed a bit.
Still as handsome as ever.
-[both grunt affectionately] -Beverly, please. You're being silly.
Oh, don't be so modest, Lyle.You've always cut a fine figure.
-[Harrow clears throat] -[Beverly] Who's this?
Daniel Harrow. He's also up from Brisbane.
-You're assisting Dr. Fairley? -Assisting? No. I'm also a pathologist.
Really?
It's so lovely to have you back where you belong.
We've had a soft spot for Lyle ever since he locumed here.
It broke our hearts when he had to leave so suddenly.
[Fairley] Now you, I don't know.
I don't know you either. Edwina Gharam.
This is Lyle Fairley! And...?
Daniel Harrow.
Eddie's volunteered to assist with the autopsies.
She's got some surgical experience.
So, you live here and you've never heard of the famous Lyle Fairley?
-Should I have? -I like you already.
The fingers on Mrs. Shepard'sleft hand are intact.
[Harrow] Same with her right. Fairley?
Some superficial skin abrasions, but no missing nails or fingers.
Then it must be Bob's.
Can you confirm he's missing a finger?
He's still in surgery,but I'll go and check.
[Fairley] Ooh, this is interesting.
-[door closes] -Parallel abrasions on the forearm.
Given the pattern, I'd say they were fingernail scratches.
-From the crash? -[Fairley] No.
These look several days old.
Daniel's taken his laptopwith him, but you can usehis desktop.
You should be able to print outyour CV from there.
-Here you go. -Mm-hm.
And, uh, if you need a refereewho's slightly more reliablethan your dad, I'm all yours.
-Thanks, Maxine. -It's really good to see you, Fern.
["Ritual Spirit" by Massive Attack featuring Azekel plays]
Substantial impact trauma.
Fractured sternum,several ribs...
One of the ribs haspunctured the right lung.
Liver and spleen, ruptured.
Torn aorta causing severe and torrential internal hemorrhaging.
Shall I put some music on?
-Great. -Must we?
-["Acrobat" by Angel Olsen plays]-[Harrow] Sorry, Fairley.
[grunts]
What would you prefer, some snappy show tune?
I would prefer something resembling music.
This sounds like a baby seal being clubbed.
Why are you so snippy today?
I thought you'd be pleased to be back home?
Just keep it down.
What's that scar on her abdomen?Did she have a C-section?
No, she's had a hysterectomy.
Quite some time back by the looks.
Really?
I never knew that.
Oh, so there are some secrets in the country?
Bob Shepard's just come out of surgery.
He's not missing a fingertip.
Then whose finger is it?
Could there have beena fourth person in the crash?
We didn't findany evidence of it.
Apart from the fingertip.
Assuming it came from a living person.
Look at the skin where it's been severed.
swollen, inflamed, cell damage.
That's exactly what happens to tissue when exposed to extreme cold.
-You think it's been frozen?-Looks that way.
What are you suggesting, Harrow?
One of the vehicles wastransporting frozen body parts?
You did find those scratches on Ethan Chambers' arm.
Maybe he had had an altercation with someone--
-Who he killed, froze, and later disposed of. -[Harrow] I don't know.
But it might be worth taking a closer look at those cars.
They left for Eurallathis morning.
After Simon,
I thought it would be good tosend them both away for a while.
I thought they could help each other out.
I had everything rightin Simon's autopsy.
And he challenged my findingsand questioned me at every turn.
I thought maybe he'd callto apologize, but...
Why didn't you speak with Simon's sister?
Well, our job is to helpdetermine cause of death.
That's half the job.
We don't perform autopsies for the sake of the dead.
We do them for the living...
find answers, to provide some comfort.
Harrow lost someone he really loved.
He was absolutely wrong to challenge you like that, but...
it was just his way of dealing with his grief.
And if you weren't so busy avoiding your own, you might've seen that.
So, the chemist and Ross Moran were mates from the racetrack?
[Fern] Yeah. And I thinkthe chemist owed someone money.
Big money.
And then Moran turns up dead.
But here's the thing.
Moran assaulted Simon before he died.
Dad thought it was allconnected, his shooting,the car burning,
the Fentanyl,Simon's death.
And then he just backed off,and I don't know why.
Because the guy who shot your dad is dead.
Because his car was a shitbox.
Because Simon's death was an accident.
It says it right there.
-Where are you going? -Well, the chemist must know something.
-I'm gonna go talk to him. -Are you crazy?
For all we know, that could be the guy who killed Moran!
Promise me you won't go near him.
I won't go near him.
Bye.
[woman] It was touch-and-go for a while there.
We'll keep him sedated overnight, but I'm hoping he'll make a good recovery.
I'd like to tell himabout Diane once he wakes.
It might be easier coming from an old friend.
Thank you, doctor. Everything they say about you is true.
[Harrow] And what exactly do they say about you?
You know how much I like a mystery, but this one I can't work out.
The whole town loves you. Why?
It's clearly not because of your personality.
And it's certainly not because of your looks.
Something happened here.
-What did you do? -[cell phone rings]
[Fairley] Must be Pavich. You should get that.
This isn't over.
-Harrow. -Hey, it's me.
Oh, hi.
Look, you might want to call me back later.
I know things have been a bit tense between us lately,
which is weird, given we had sex the first night we met--
[disconnects call]
If I were to tell you it's not what you think,
would you believe me?
-What are you doing? -I need to talk about this.
I'm not sure if it's any of your business.
No, you're right.Who Grace invites between hersheets is her business.
-Well, what then? -I don't want to see her getting hurt.
Grace doesn't need that.
I would never do that to her.
You'd never mean to,but it's what you do, Harrow.
You put people second to the joband they end up getting hurt.
-I mean, just look at-- -Simon?
He adored you.
All he wantedwas to be just like you.
I loved him!
And he loved you,and look what happened.
You're not a bad man, Harrow.
But you ruin people.
Harrow. Harrow--
[sportscaster on TV, indistinct]
[dials]
[cell phone beeping]
No signal.
[heavy sigh]
I hate the outback.
You don't like it?
Not hungry. Sorry.
Would you prefer a T-bone?
Barramundi?
Anything you like.It's on the house.
Why is that?
Because you'reLyle Fairley's assistant.
Beverly mentioned you.
Good old Beverly.
Tell me something.
What did he do?
Sorry?
Fairley.
You obviously love the guy. I mean, look at this place.
It's like a shrine to him.
There was a house fire on one of the cattle stations outside of town.
Lyle was the firston the scene.
The place was an inferno.
But he ran into those flames
and pulled those boys out, one by one.
He saved three lives that night.
He never said anything.
That's because he couldn't save the fourth.
[ice cracking]
Thanks for doing this.
I hope I haven't ruined your evening.
[laughs] In Euralla?
It's not likeI had a hot date lined up.
Have you seenthe guys in this town?
It's all hi-vis and bullshit.Literally.
[both chuckle]
Here's the histology slideyou asked for.
-The fingertip. -Thank you.
What are you looking for?
Free blood cells.
-Why? -Ahh...
Look at the margin of the tip where the flesh has been severed.
-See the blood cells? -[Edwina] They're everywhere.
Which means the blood was still circulating when the tip was frozen.
So this person was alive when freezing occurred.
Alive, but suffering from frostbite.
Frostbite? It's 40 degrees out there. How?
I have no idea.Is Fairley joining us?
He's getting ready for the prayer service today for Bob and Diane.
But it's a good thing you're here.
-I just got the report from Scientific. -And?
They've confirmed that a fourth person was in one of the vehicles.
Ethan Chambers' car?
No. Bob and Diane's.
They found blood from an unknownperson on Diane's clothes.
There were traces of iton the steering column as well.
Perhaps they were trying to climb out over Diane, after the van had rolled.
Explains how the blood ended up on her clothes.
What about the fingertip?
Maybe it was severed on broken glass or metal
when its owner was trying to climb out after the crash.
But if there was another person in the vehicle...
they're still out there somewhere.
And likely in a very bad way.
Then they couldn't have gone far.
Get onto Emergency Services.
We need a search party at the crash site ASAP.
And get onto Cunnamulla, see if they can spare some extra bodies.
We're going to need all the help we can get.
-What are you up to now? -I'm improvising.
Here, stir this.
What is that?
It's a piece of car seatfrom the transit van.
It had a unusual stain on it.
So, I'm trying to determineif it's biological.
-Why? -Because there was another person in the van
when it crashed.
The middle seat belt had been adjusted to be extra-long.
I think that person was pregnant.
Hence the pregnancy stick.
If I'm lucky, there will beenough fluid from the car seat
for this pregnancy stick
to detectHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin.
HCG. Placental hormone.
Also found in amniotic fluid.
[door opens]
What on earth is all this?
Just a little experimentI've rigged up.
-For the purposes of the autopsy, I hope? -Oh, absolutely.
Dr. Harrow wouldn't waste hospital resources on anything else.
Ron from the post office dropped these off.
They're addressed to Diane, but she's in your care now, so...
Mail-order pharmaceuticals.
[Beverly] I thought it mightbe relevant, but I wasn't sure.
-Contraceptive pills. -But Diane had a hysterectomy.
Why would she need contraceptives?
[sighs] Becausethey weren't her pills.
Do you have a car I can borrow?
Yes?
[Harrow] There was a pregnant woman in Bob's van!
Her waters broke during the crash.
What?
She must have wandered away from the accident site.
But she's still out there.
I tried to call Colin
-but I couldn't get through.-Where are you?
I'm on my way to Bob and Diane's.
What? Why?
There were pills, contraceptive pills,
sent to Diane in the mail.
No. There must be some mistake.
Diane couldn't have children.
I'm starting to think Bob and Diane
aren't the people you thought they were.
[Harrow breaking up]
[jiggles locked door handle]
This is exactly the sort of maverick behavior he indulges in all the time!
Jumping to ridiculous conclusions about people he doesn't even know.
Where's Bob?
[door clatters]
-[woman sobbing] -[Bob shouting]
[woman crying] No...
No, let me out!
[woman continues sobbing] Let me out!
[generator starts]
[whimpering]
[woman grunts, shivering]
Ahh!
[panting]
[Harrow] No! No!
-No! Help! No! -[pounding on door]
Bob!
I know what happened, Bob!
I know what you and Diane did to that girl!
You kept her locked up in that room.
And you used her as what, a sex slave?
I know you gave her contraceptives, Bob.
But she stopped taking them!
Maybe she thought if she was pregnant,
you might let her go.
Can't keep a babylocked up in there.
Shut up!
So you tried to get rid of her before the baby was born.
You put her in here,to try and freeze her to death.
But she was clever.
She must have got quite some distance before you found her.
[indistinct shouting]
But a car crash was the last thing you were expecting.
-[woman yells] -[tires screech]
-You won't get away with this, Bob. -Yeah, we'll see.
[Harrow] The cops know I'm here.
They will find out what you and your wife have done.
Bob?
Bob!
[whimpers]
[grunts]
[blows on hands]
[alarm beeping]
[thudding]
[lock unlatching]
-What the hell are you doing? -Where is he?
Where's Bob?
Lyle?
Oh, Bob...
No, no. Stay back.
Now, come on, Bob.
Don't do anything rash.
[grunting]
Osoto-gari. One of the original 40 throws.
I shall never mock your jujitsu again.
Call Colin.
Four bars? How do youget four bars out here?
-[Colin] Lyle? -No, it's Dan Harrow.
I'm here with your brother.
We apprehended Bob at his property.
I'll send a car, but I need both of you here now!
[woman groaning]
Where is she?
-Down there. -[Colin] Quick as you can!
If we don't get the baby outnow, we could lose both of them.
-[Harrow] Contractions? -[Colin] Every two minutes.
-And her name? -Kyra.
Kyra, hi. I'm Dr. Harrow and this is Dr. Fairley.
-Two doctors? -It's your lucky day.
Now, look, Kyra, we are going to get though this together.
And Dr. Fairley here,he's gonna deliver.
What?
You did a semester of OBs.
That was 25 years ago.
And I know you haven't forgotten.
You can do this, Lyle.
All right.
-[groans] -[Fairley] Okay, Kyra.
Let's do this together.
Here come the shoulders now.
-[painful groan] -Good girl.
[Fairley chuckles]
[groans and cries]
[baby cries]
It's a little girl.
Here. It's so beautiful.
[Kyra] I was...
hitchhiking down to Adelaide when they picked me up.
They seemed nice.
And when we got to Euralla,they...
offered me a place to stayfor a couple of nights.
How long were you there?
Three years.
I fought back...
every day.
I did... everythingI could to get out.
But they were justas determined as I was.
I didn't think that they could hurt an unborn baby.
I was wrong.
You saved her.
[Kyra] No.
She saved me.
You boys better get going if you want to make the plane.
Come on. I'll see you out.
Uh, hello?
Forgotten something?
My car keys?
Shit! Yes, sorry.
I completely forgot.
Thank you.
It's about the puzzle, isn't it?
That's why you do this.
Seems you like solving puzzles, too.
Take care, Edwina.
Wasn't the plane supposed to be here at four?
You okay?
We did a good thing today.
I know.
I wanted to apologize for what I said to you yesterday.
You have nothing to apologize for.
You're right.
Simon was obsessing over my case.
If he hadn't mixed his epilepsy drugs with Modafinil, then...
I'll never forgive myself for what happened.
You kept asking me whyI have been so snippy with you.
It wasn't justbecause of Simon.
It was also because...I love this place.
And I hate it, too.
Because of the fire?
I was meant to beat the hospital that night,working.
But I was at another property,
looking into an unusual death, when the call came through.
I was in the local fire brigade back then,
and knew that the hospital was close to the house.
So, I got the first call.
But it took me an extra five minutes to get to that fire.
[voice shaking] That boy died...
because I was off,
indulging my curiosityon a case that wasn't even mine.
I promised myself I wouldnever let that happen again.
Well, you stuck your neck out today, and look what happened.
You saved three of us.
[cell phone chimes]
Oh, it's Colin.
"Your flight's been canceled.
But Maxine says you can keep the rental."
We have to drive back?
[groans] It's only six hours.
Six hours... in a car...with you?
Come on, Harrow.
It'll be fun!
Besides, I've got plenty to keep us occupied.
I downloaded a new opera.
I like opera.
Chinese opera...
-in Cantonese. -[engine starts]
[woman sings in Cantonese]
[Harrow] Does it have to be this loud?
[Fairley] Oh... now who's being snippy?
[Fern] You don't know who I am,but I know what you did.
You planted the Fentanyl in my apartment.
[scoffs]
You robbed yourself soyou could get out of your debt.
I don't know what you're talking about.
-I could end up in jail for what you did! -I didn't set you up.
I don't even know where you live.
Bullshit! You and Moranare both involved in this.
Did you kill him?
Ross Moran's dead?
You have to get out of here.
No, I'm not going anywhere until I have answers!
Look, I'm so sorry you got caught up in this.
I had no idea what he was goingto do with those drugs.
-Who? Who are talking about? -You have to leave now!
Please, tell me who did this to me!
The less you know the better.Now, go!
What are you doing up here?
Why did youhang up on me?
Because your uncle heard everything.
He knows?
[groans]
What were you calling me about?
Maxine suggested thatI may have been...
insensitive about Simon,
the way I was proprietaryabout his autopsy.
And that I'm not goodat dealing with grief.
And I'm not good at being wrong.
But I was wrong about the Modafinil.
I think I've been wrong about a lot of things lately.
Your uncle thinks I ruin people.
Well, what do you think?
I think that, too.
And I really don't want to do that to you.
I can take care of myself.
I know you can.
[cell phone rings]
You'd better answer that.
[Pavich] Your office. Now.
Shut the door.
You know we monitor the browsinghistory of our employees, right?
Oh... This about those cat videos?
How many people have you told about Chester?
Fern was in here...yesterday.
She cracked your password
and got access to allyour autopsy files.
Ross Moran and Simon.
Now, I don't knowwhat you've told her,but this has to stop.
-Unless you know something I don't. -No.
Good. Then let it go, Daniel.
Before somebody else gets hurt.
I'm sorry, did that hurt?
[grunts]
What have you done?
What was that?
Succinylcholine.
No!
No! [grunting]
That drug does work quite fast.
Please!
You promised me, if I got you the Fentanyl
you'd leave me alone.
[inhales deeply]
Ohh... I'd love one of these.
It's just so bad for your health.
Don't do this!
Please, Francis!
No!
No! [screams] Please!
[groaning]
