The city awoke this morning
to the news that the Melbourne shooter
has claimed his fourth victim.
Now that a cop's been shot, it's been bumped into the red zone.
The police and the government
will bring this perpetrator to justice.
Come and work with me.
Let's get this done before any more people get killed.
The sites that he did the shootings from
are unlikely to be totally random.
Prides himself on his cleverness,
and he likes what he's done to the city.
How do you track someone that leaves no clues behind?
Maybe he doesn't have the stomach to do it up close.
What's your theory on the letter?
- What? - The retribution letter.
How is this a letter from the crank?
Because it's what I had to believe.
"Hi, Jane. I need to spend more time with my mother.
"Lose a dad, gain a mum.
Love and kisses, Zo."
Ah!
Come on! Fuck!
Police have confirmed that at 11:50 last night,
an unarmed security guard was gunned down
in a multi-storey carpark...
There is speculation that the shooting is connected
to previous shootings in the city.
♪ Oh, don't be scared about it ♪ Don't forget it was real
♪ Do you remember the way it made you feel
♪ Do you remember the things it let you feel... ♪
Jane Halifax.
OK.
Hey. I wanna show you something.
You have an uninterrupted view of the outdoor cinema.
You could save a fortune on tickets if you can lip-read.
- Who was the victim? - Zika Latal.
He was enjoying a beer and an outdoor movie with his mates.
- He was the first victim. - First victim?
There's a second victim.
Security guard that works in this building.
Yeah, we think he disturbed the shooter up here, and then
when he tried to escape to that stairwell, he was shot and killed.
His name was Rohit Sharma. He was 26. He had a kid.
I have spoken to the victim's supervisor.
His shift covered a dozen of these multi-storey carparks.
He would drive between them, walk the ramps, check everything,
move onto the next one.
Last night he did something different, didn't he?
Yeah. Normally his route is east
to west and last night he reversed that order.
He caught our shooter unaware.
Maybe this is our shooter's first mistake.
No. Jane's right.
This was the victim's mistake, not the shooter's.
Jane, I left you a note so we didn't have to do this.
A threat was made against me and obviously my family.
You could still be in danger.
If someone hates you that much, don't you think that I could be
in more danger when I'm actually with you?
Possibly.
Jane, if you were really worried about me, you would have told me
about the letter.
No-one knows I'm here. Like, I've got Turd, I've got my minders
that follow me everywhere. I'm safe.
I still want you to stay with me.
And I want to spend more time with my mother.
OK.
Just call me if you need anything.
Now, ignoring the security guard, which we can assume was unplanned,
we're focusing on the original victim.
Zika Latal has no known enemies, according to his wife.
Everyone loves a stockbroker.
His bank accounts, they check out.
Phone records indicate nothing amiss.
Even sponsored a family from a Third World country.
That's your cue to tell me he's the kind of guy
that make stockbrokers look good.
- Right. - I'm working my way through
the drivers of cars that were in the carpark overnight.
No-one's reported anything suspicious.
Forensics just came back. Security guard was shot with a 9mm Beretta.
So he was prepared for something
- like this. - Well, he might have been prepared,
but he won't like things not going to plan.
I'm Sharon Sinclair and I'm the author of this wonderful book,
Many Lies, One Mind, and you are watching You're Killing Me...
Now, do you wanna tell me about Sharon Sinclair?
Sharon? I haven't thought about Sharon in 20 years. Why?
I'm a complete crime fiction tragic.
I thought I recognised her name from somewhere.
That somewhere turned out to be the front of one of your files.
- Crime fiction? - She's a expert on that.
Well, she was convicted of double homicide.
Her father and stepmother?
I was an expert witness for the prosecution.
At the time she was pleading dissociative identity disorder,
or multiple personalities.
She claimed that Sharon wasn't the one who killed her parents,
it was another personality.
Um, as a result of that, I... became quite unwell, mentally ill.
Well, I think you should have a look at this. Have a seat.
I acted out, you know,
in a really very violent way, I admit that, and I went to
prison, which of course, well,
is the perfect place to study the criminal mind.
Unless of course, like you're
someone like a Jane Halifax, where you get all kinds of damaged people
delivered to your doorstep and you can study them at your leisure.
How do I know that name?
Oh, she's a forensic psychiatrist.
She's also been in the press because her husband got murdered.
- Oh, of course. - Mm.
- So awful, isn't it... - Her work is not based on fact,
but conjecture, so her opinion is just that.
It's just an opinion. Who knows? She may have produced more fiction
in her professional life than I have, and I've produced six books!
- OK, yeah. - Jane, she's violent and bears
you a grudge. We should consider her a suspect in Ben's murder.
- I'm putting her on the list. - Oh, no. Don't bother.
She's just exploiting her connection to me to sell books.
She did bludgeon two people to death with a fire poker.
I know her. She's just an attention-seeker.
Don't waste your time on people like Sharon Sinclair.
Pretty soon this city's gonna be running out of middle-aged males.
Ben shouldn't be up here.
His murder's about me.
It's got nothing to do with this.
Well, Mila's not treating it as separate, so until it's solved,
it remains part of the investigation.
And what does Mila have to report?
I know you've got an active shooter, Tom,
but Ben's killer is still out there.
- You OK? - Yeah, just give me a sec.
Police still haven't released the identity of the man
who was shot dead last night in what appears to be the latest...
What the police aren't saying is what's being done to protect
our city.
I mean, how many more lives...
...spokesperson for Taskforce Stingray
would not be drawn on whether last night's
shooting now forms part of...
...until the city is deemed safe by authorities.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, god.
I'm sorry.
Is it that time already?
Sorry for interrupting your exercise.
Oh, it's part of my writing process.
Helps me brush out a character.
How can I help?
Oh, thank you.
This is just an informal chat.
We're speaking to a number of people that Dr Halifax worked with.
Oh, well, you're gonna be busy.
You're gonna talk to all the people that Jane Halifax has assessed?
I'm surprised she can still remember me,
although it's kind of nice to think that I might be one of the more
memorable crazies - except, of course, I wasn't crazy in her view.
Dr Halifax's partner, Ben Sailor,
was murdered on the night of July 25.
And I am one of the persons of interest.
Yes, I heard what happened to her husband. It was awful, awful.
July 25, Ms Sinclair. Do you happen to remember where you were?
I've just been buried in press for the book.
Um, I think July 25 I was at a reading in Yarraville.
- OK. Great. - Can I take that?
Thanks. And what time did that finish up?
- 10:00.10:30. - OK.
Mm-hm.
Tell me about Dr Halifax.
Haven't seen her in 20 years, so...
She gave evidence for the prosecution
in your trial, didn't she?
Mm-hm. It was very compelling.
Erroneous, but it was compelling.
Erroneous.
You received a major sentence.
Have you forgiven her?
You know, it's not a question of forgiveness,
'cause... I wouldn't have all this success if I hadn't gone to prison.
I'm very grateful.
Guess which crime writer's palatial home I've just been to?
Oh. And what'd you make of our famous novelist?
I'm not really sure.
She was certainly working the charisma thing big-time.
Look, she even signed a book for me.
Yes, well, she wants everyone to love her.
- Well, she loves you. - I don't think so.
No, no, she insists that she has you to thank for her career.
Oh, maybe I should ask to share
- in the profits, then. - No, I've already got it.
You should have a read, though. It's all about reversals of truth.
Reversals of truth? Oh, she's an expert in those.
♪ Carry me down to the better shores,
♪ I'll sink to swim
♪ This brighter side, it seems to me... ♪
- Hey. - Hey.
Always interesting to see yourself blown up.
If you know what I mean.
Yeah.
Sorry, can we...
Yeah, of course.
Hey, thanks for being here.
- Doesn't mean I'm moving back. - I know.
Does it... does it
- help you to think like a sniper? - What?
To look at the world through a viewfinder?
Oh. Um... I've never
- actually thought about it. - I don't know, it's
- just... I don't know what I'm saying. - No, no, no, it's a really
- interesting observation. - What's an interesting thought?
Hello.
I saw the invitation on Zoe's bed.
- Oh. - I wasn't snooping.
Wow. I didn't realise you were an artist, too.
Maybe you could show me through your exhibition.
Oh, ah, I think that's probably best if you do that without me.
- Zoe, you show me? - Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Oh, god, I'm so glad I came.
I hope you don't mind. I just thought it was probably
the only way I was gonna get to see you, and I wanted to apologise.
I've behaved badly, and I'm sorry.
Grief is a...
unpredictable beast.
It is.
This is gonna really help me.
Make up some time that we've missed out on.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea that she'd just turn up like that.
Well, it was a way to kill a party.
She did apologise.
Not for everything.
What Dad did was stupid.
Zo, I know you want a relationship
with her, and I'm not - I'm not trying to shrink you.
I'd... I'm just looking out for you, that's all.
- I think she's broke. - Did she ask you for money?
No.
- Just be careful. - I will.
Is there any wine left?
Ah, I have a feeling I drank it all.
And yet you're
- so completely articulate. - Yeah, well that's years
- of training. - Ah.
I'm gonna head off.
- Night. - Night. Thanks for coming.
- Dr Halifax. - Sharon. What are you doing here?
Went to the theatre.
It's been a while.
20 years.
You look just the same.
You look very well.
Success suits you.
We're on the bestseller list.
It's extraordinary, isn't it, given all those undeserved years
I spent in prison.
You and I both know a jury found otherwise.
I wasn't well when you knew me. I wasn't in my right mind.
Well, I think we have to agree to disagree on that one.
Did you ever think, just for one moment over all those years,
- that you might have been wrong? - No.
No, 'cause Dr Jane Halifax is never wrong.
She always knows the answer.
For four days, the city has been under siege, with authorities...
...introduce new legislation
- which will give police... - The government is simply
- being reactive. - ...more powers to reckon down
suburbs and tighter search powers.
Civil rights lobbies have said the move is in contravention
to the freedom of movement amongst the general public.
Can we get a photo, please?
Can we please get a photo?
Ah!
- Shit. - You right, mate?
Oh! Oh, my god!
I think he's been shot.
He's been shot!
Can we get some help?
Here. Come on, let's go!
Shots fired... rooftop, central west.
Got visual. He's gone through, gone through.
The suspect has been spotted on the roof.
Up there!
Drop the weapon!
- Come and get it. - I said, drop the weapon!
It's right here.
Put the gun down and we can talk.
No more talking.
- You're not getting out of here! - What are you waiting for?
No!
- I've got the gunman! - No! No! Get off me!
Take him down now! Put your hands behind your back!
Put your hands behind your back!
- No! No! - Don't move!
I said, don't move! Stay down!
- Yes, Tom? - We've got him.
Thanks, guys.
Howard Vail.
Yes.
Can you tell me what happened to him?
I shot him.
- OK. And what'd you shoot him with? - Semi-automatic.
- The one we found you with? - Yes.
- Why? - Didn't like the way he looked.
That's a bit of an extreme reaction, don't you think?
Well, I'm an extremist.
What does that mean? You get instructions from someone? A group?
We're searching your house right now. We'll be taking laptops,
hard drives, phones, the lot. Talk to us about it now.
If the information proves useful, it could help you.
I'm not helping you with shit.
Perhaps I could persuade you to change your mind.
Joseph Bristo.
George Azzopardi.
Zika Latal.
Rohit Sharma.
Is that helping you at all?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Like I said... I'm an extremist.
What?
Counterterrorism are sending someone over,
and the Premier's been calling.
Yeah, I bet the politicians are wetting themselves.
There's nothing like catching a terrorist to boost the polls.
The terrorism angle's bullshit, but I am quite happy
to go in there and take apart a lone wolf.
- Happy? - Yeah. Aren't you?
No. It doesn't suit me. I hate this shit.
I would rather that the shooter was an evil genius rather than have
all these innocent people fucking murdered by a pathetic moron.
- Is it him? - Yep. Just waiting for the official
word from forensics, then we can lock him up and throw away the key.
- We might need a trial first. - You're not gonna get this one off.
- Do you think it's him? - He admitted to everything
- so easily, I'm... - Do you want me to talk to him?
No, well, you can't, 'cause it's
- a conflict of interest. She can't... - This has got nothing
- to do with Ben. - Yet.
I don't think it would hurt if you went in there
and rattled his cage a bit. Why don't you have a go?
Sure.
Can you get a shot of that?
Thank you, officer.
Hello, Duncan.
Who are you?
I'm Dr Jane Halifax. I'm a forensic psychiatrist.
I'm called on by the police and the courts to evaluate
competency to stand trial, and I'm also often called on
to evaluate a person's mental state at the time of the offence.
I knew what I was doing, I wanted to do it,
so you can just... call your mates back in.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Do you need to get home?
Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
About your home.
What's that got to do with anything?
Well, I'm just curious. We're in no rush.
It's a house.
It's a normal house.
Yes, and what else?
I don't know. A garage. Mailbox.
Always full of junk.
I don't know. Colour of the walls?
They're yellow.
Carpets are blue and...
What else? What about your family?
Oh, fuck off.
- Oh. What's happening at home... - Listen. Listen.
- Something's not right, is it? - Yeah, something's not right.
I shot five people.
Six.
Five, six.
You lose count.
No, you don't.
What happened at home, Duncan?
There is no fuckin' home.
They leave last night or this morning?
Maybe we just talk about the people that I killed.
Was it your wife? Did she take the kids?
They're not coming back, are they?
I don't have a family anymore, either.
You feel like you've got nothing left to live for.
And it's OK to feel that way, but it is not OK to provoke
someone into ending things for you.
'Cause then they'd have to live with that.
A bloody copycat.
This guy isn't our sniper.
The... the man that I shot.
Is he gonna be alright?
Fuck!
You're the only person I know that would be up this late.
Come in. Is that for me?
I took a punt.
The Premier just gave me an earful.
They're talking about shutting down all the schools.
Well, people are frightened for their families.
I never thought I'd say this,
but I'm glad my family's in the United States.
Oh, Jesus, Jane. I'm sorry, that was very insensitive.
No, it's fine.
- You must miss them. - Yeah, well...
Are you good cop or bad cop?
Good cop.
Easy to be the good cop when you hardly ever see 'em.
You know, they shoot me a text every now and then,
but I have a feeling I miss them more than they miss me.
Well, they're boys. Probably just don't know how to tell you.
I... I came here to see how you were.
I'm OK.
Now, Jane, listen to me.
We're in a cone.
Whatever happens in this apartment stays in this apartment.
- I am OK. - Yeah.
- What about you? - What about me?
You seem to be self-medicating.
The wine?
I do believe it's in one of the food groups.
OK.
I'm just... I'm just dulling the senses.
Yep.
For two weeks now, the city has been under siege...
Yesterday, police arrested a lone gunman, believed to be
a copycat offender.
Police are no closer to discovering the identity of the mystery shooter.
Jane.
I looked into Sharon Sinclair's alibi.
She was at a book reading that night, but it finished
at 8:00, not 10:30.
Whereabouts?
Yarraville.
So she would have had time to get across town, then. Yeah.
What's going on, Bronski?
The - the Sinclair alibi doesn't check out.
In what world do we share information with the widow
- of a victim? - Tom.
This is police business. We'll take care of Sinclair.
Bronski? My office.
Yep.
Thanks.
Are you - are you gonna tape me?
- Yeah, if you don't mind. - It was Joey.
He's... he's a naughty boy but he means well.
I'd like to know all about him.
Mrs... She's such an optimist.
Nothing gets her down, nothing.
Not...
What about other incidences where you lost blocks of time?
Oh... Um, well everyone's read about them.
The trouble is, I can't remember
half the crazy things I'm supposed to have done.
I'd had a really busy day and I was very tired
and I... I took my make-up off,
um, and I lazed in the bath for a long time, and I went to bed...
This is my life!
My life! Good, good, because I'm not gonna stand here any longer
and listen to you call my life a total reversal of the truth,
because that's what you said, isn't it?
Good, good, because I'm not gonna
stand here any longer and listen to you call my life a total reversal
of the truth, because that's what you said, isn't it?
Because I remember, me, Sharon Sinclair, I remember.
My father was bad and he deserved to die!
Now, you can call it NPD, you can call it what you like.
But I call it retribution!
Now, you call it NPD,
call it what you like. But I call it retribution!
He deserved to die.
Now, you can call it NPD, you can call it what you like.
But I call it retribution!
Shit.
Jane, can you... can you call me back?
I'm looking for Sharon's file and I can't seem to put my hands on it.
You don't have it, do you?
Anyway, give me a buzz back. Thanks.
What's going on with Sharon Sinclair?
I think Jane's taken her file.
She's not answering her phone.
I'm worried she's gone out there.
You're driving.
Dr Jane Halifax. See, I knew you'd come eventually.
Why's that?
'Cause you wanna apologise.
You know, for what you did to us.
I never did anything to you, Sharon.
Well, let's just agree to disagree, shall we? Come on in.
Would you like a cup of tea or water? Wine?
I'm just finishing up.
There's even some cheese there.
You like my paintings?
I thought you were more into writing these days.
I am, but painting's still my passion. They're all mine,
except... that one.
What are you doing with that?
I liked it.
- You know Ben was murdered. - Why have you got that up there?
Because... it really spoke to me.
I think you're very talented.
Grief can feel endless, can't it?
One minute you make friends with it,
and then the next it can eat you alive.
Your face is so full of pain.
Beware, lovely Jane...
What?
...for a terrible retribution is at hand.
You fucking killed him!
No, don't!
Put it down!
Who're you calling?
You put it down! What are you doing?
- What do you... - Why did you come?
Sharon doesn't wanna hurt you.
You killed Ben.
- No! - You killed Ben.
Ben didn't do anything wrong. We didn't kill Ben.
You're lying. We didn't kill Ben!
You're lying! No, we didn't kill Ben! Why would we kill him?
He didn't hurt us!
We wrote the note, but we didn't kill Ben. We didn't.
Please don't hurt me.
We only wanted to stay here!
I don't wanna go away!
Please don't send me away!
I didn't hurt anybody.
I didn't hurt anybody!
Oh, no... Don't send us away! Please don't send us away!

Sharon Sinclair has a watertight alibi.
She went to dinner with her publisher after the book reading.
She just wanted my attention.
She assaulted you and wrote you a threatening letter.
I'm responsible for Sharon going to prison for 20 years,
Tom, when she needed my help.
Can we just let her be?
You know that's not how it works.
Well, I can't do this anymore.
