Previously on Harrow...
SOROYA: I want to see if I can postpone
the cremation of some remains.
STEPH: I just got a visit from your friend, Soroya Dass.
Is Robert dead?
Beg your pardon?
How much did you dislike Robert Quinn?
I didn't dislike him.
I hated him.
I know you want a place of our own.
My stepmum said it's ours, if we want it.
We'll go.
Quinn's phone went black on October 3rd.
I want to search that bushland and trawl that dam.
Six recruits and a supervisor. One day.
(TYRES SQUEAL, CRASHING SOUND, GLASS SHATTERS)
(STARTS ENGINE)
(WHISPERS) I see.
NICK: You're off the case.
You're kidding me.
You should be thanking me for not suspending you.
I authorised six recruits.
Now I have to pay for 16.
Slip of the pen.
It's CIB's baby now.
Do you believe that those river bones in that concrete are Robert Quinn?
I do.
Yeah, I think Harrow does too.
He stopped the bones from being cremated.
OK, I'll ask it.
What do we do about Harrow?
What do you mean?
He means I don't think we can tell Harrow about this.
Oh, that's not fair.
It's a conflict of interest. He was married to Quinn's wife.
I just need Harrow to focus on his work,
and if he finds out that those bones could have been Steph's husband,
then... Oh, we get it, we get it.
I mean, Harrow still has feelings for Steph
and now it'll become personal.
What?
Ohh, you and Harrow?
It's nobody's business.
It's mine now.
You're definitely off this case.
Can't afford to have you distracted either.
Bryan. Maxine. Nick.
If, uh, those river bones require some more work,
can you deal with Fairley?
Yeah.
Falsified a request form?
Good find, though.
Right?
Yeah, just don't tell your boyfriend.
VOICEMAIL: You've reached Sergeant Dass, Scenes of Crime.
Leave me a message. (BEEP!)
What was the 'X' you left me this morning?
What did it mean? Was it X-rated?
I'd have thought I was at least a double X, maybe even a triple.
Let me know you're OK.
Did I miss the coup?
That says, "To Professor Maxine Pavich."
Are you stealing both of our identities?
Uh-uh-uh!
This was in MY pigeon hole.
I really don't want to think about your pigeon hole.
Do you know who called Maxine this morning?
Uh, Captain Rhetorical from the SS Don't Answer?
Professor Lucien Gotti,
from the Geneva Institute of Science and Medicine.
However, Pavich isn't here. How do you know?
Lucien Gotti was "impressed" by my paper on pathophysiology of shock.
Oh, come on, Harrow. Put it together.
Gotti likes my paper, he tries to Skype my boss,
and then I find this in my hole.
I think that was a mistake.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
You know what it is?
I'm being headjobbed.
Headhunted, I think you mean.
Whatever. The Geneva Institute of Science and Medicine wants me.
Hey!
Personal mail, personal Skypes?
You're crossing the line, Lyle.
This, coming from you?
It's not your business. Oh, you're jealous.
Oh, look, it's my two favourite people.
Well, not favourite people, but...
(BEEPING)
MAN: (OVER PA) Check-in, please.
What is it?
Motor vehicle accident.
Middle-aged woman, adult son.
Enjoy. No, no, no, no, no.
No, I've got plenty to do.
Yes, but if you do these, I'll have nothing to do, so...
I am not doing these. Yes, you are.
You two can work together.
I want to see if it's possible.
There's absolutely no way... Why can't he do them both?
I said "work together".
What is that?
Oh, this was misdelivered.
Mind your own business, Daniel.
And get those two to the viewing room.
There's a relative who wants to ID them.
Why can't you do it? I have an international call.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello.
You look very handsome this morning.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Nobody seems to want to talk to me today,
so I'm trying to generate some good karma.
(CHUCKLES) That horse has SO bolted.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hello. I'm Daniel and this is Simon.
Please come in.
I'm Tiff Swale and this is Audrey Matheson.
There is, uh, no easy way to do this, Audrey.
You OK?
OK.
Do you want to go?
Can I stay with her for a bit?
Yes, of course.
It's gonna break a lot of hearts.
Old car, was it? No airbags?
Kerrie was driving.
She always drove her boy to work.
Glenn was... he was learning-impaired.
Couldn't drive.
Local farmer came across the wreck this morning.
(PHONE RINGS)
Will you excuse me?
People want to know what's going on.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hi. HARROW: Hi.
Do I need proof of life?
Well, if you don't like women leaving before you wake up,
you shouldn't live on a boat.
(CHUCKLES WRYLY) Where are you?
Half an hour out of town on an MVA.
Ah. That's a bit straightforward for you, isn't it?
Double fatality.
Female 60s, male 30s?
Ah, you've got them.
Yes, their daughter just IDed them.
Coming in for the autopsies?
Ooh, swoon.
No, I'm gonna stay and check this vehicle in.
OK.
I just need coffee.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.
STEPH: "I am excited..." I am thrilled?
I am jubilant? No, I'm not ju...
"I am excited..."
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hi, Steph. Bryan.
Hi.
Got a minute?
Yeah, come in.
Thanks.
Good news, bad news.
Good news - tickets.
Bad news, doesn't leave till after 5:00.
Stay here and look after the stuff.
Where are you going?
Be back soon.
Why do I have to be in here?
So we can share Simon.
I don't like arguing over the deceased.
But why can't I do mine in my room and you do yours in here?
So we can share Simon.
There is so much therapy being born in here right now.
I'm going to see Maxine. She wants us to work together.
What's the point if I'm leaving? You'd really leave?
God, yes. Wouldn't you?
Alright, fine. But I get first CAT scan.
No. What?
I'll be Switzerland.
Ahh.
Geneva.
Heads.
Ohh!
Anterior visual.
Impact trauma visible on right cheek and right mandible,
consistent with car.
So she was looking left when she hit the tree.
Broken skin and torn musculature over right clavicle
and above right breast... This left arm here.
The scratches. And this femur... Do you mind?
..looks to me to be broken.
Do you think he was trying to prise her hand away from the wheel?
You do know frontal lobe blockage
can result in involuntary muscle contraction?
What, so you're thinking stroke?
I'm not thinking. I'm observing.
You'd really leave?
Why not? I mean, you resigned not so long ago.
That was for Fern.
So why did you change your mind?
That was for Fern too.
How does your coming back help Fern?
Maybe it doesn't.
I'm a screw-up.
That's why I leave such a path of destruction.
What, are you down to your last ginger snap?
Harrow not paying child support?
Fern's 18 now, so he doesn't need to.
And yet he still does.
So...why are you here?
What have you found?
Did he insure this?
You know we never seemed to have money for anything else,
but he always took care of that car.
It was his baby.
In the last 10 months, has there been a claim made against it?
Not that I'm aware of.
Thanks for your time, Steph.
Uh, we've decided Harrow doesn't need to be distracted by this.
What are you saying?
I'm saying don't tell him.
I'm not starting at the head. Why don't you start with the head?
I never start at the head! You were the one that said...
I do Letulle. ..that she suffered a stroke.
I start in the thoracic. I always have and always will.
So look for a cerebral haemorrhage! Boss...
..ses.
I found something on the son's CT scan.
That is a bullet.
Is that what killed him?
The entry wound would have been right about...here.
And that is old scar tissue.
So that bullet's been in there a long time.
Do you think I'll be needing me lucky pants tonight?
(LAUGHS)
I don't know, play your cards right.
Fucking disgusting.
Huh? What do you think?
I think you look like an idiot.
Well, if I'm an idiot, and you're marrying an idiot,
then logically that makes you the idiot.
Oh, well.
You're really revealing how you think about me
on the day of our wedding, aren't you?
Well, it's better to find out before it's too late.
It's too late.
Do you still love him?
I guess...a part of me still does, yes.
They found his car.
In a dam.
They don't know whether he put it there or someone else.
I'm sorry - I shouldn't be telling you this.
Was he in it? Uh...
Some people think he might be dead.
Your dad doesn't.
I mean, I'm sure he wishes he was, but...
I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to worry about any of...
(PHONE BUZZES)
(PHONE RINGS)
Are you OK? Hey.
Yeah, sorry.
What's goin' on, Fish?
Where are you?
Uh, just...just wait there. I'll be there as soon as I can.
HARROW: That's what killed him?
Uh-huh.
But...
There.
An entry point, just below the ear, travelling forward.
Suicide attempt?
With a handgun?
That's unlikely.
And with a rifle, it's impossible.
He couldn't have shot himself.
Maybe it was an accident.
He dropped a gun, discharged.
Maybe, but again... how did he not know?
SERGEANT SWALE: No.
Kerrie, Glenn, Audrey.
None of them owned a gun.
But you already checked the licensing register, didn't you?
SOROYA: Yeah.
So what are you thinking?
That a country sergeant just turns a blind eye
to someone owning an unregistered weapon?
I was just being thorough.
And you?
Oh, I just like watching her be thorough.
Look down there.
Word's got around about Kerrie and Glenn.
There's already a little memorial service underway.
MAN: None of you know. You got no idea.
They were inseparable.
So who shot him?
It's hard to believe anyone would have.
The whole town loved 'em both.
Go on! Except for him.
Bring in the sheep.
Oh. Royce.
What do you think that's about?
Town drunk. Who knows?
Maybe he didn't know the Mathesons.
Maybe he didn't like them.
Everything OK? Royce?
Well, he used to have my job.
I guess we're all susceptible, huh?
Don't mind him.
Could we speak to the daughter?
(BIRDS WARBLE)
We're sorry to intrude. Do you have a minute?
That's ridiculous.
Glenn was shot in the head?
Is...is this for real?
Who by?
That's what we'd like to know.
And wouldn't that have killed him?
Normally, yes.
But the projectile missed all the major blood vessels
and brain centres.
It's unusual, but it happens.
But if the crash killed him, when was he shot?
Years ago. Maybe decades.
He would have been bleeding quite heavily from the scalp.
Do you ever remember him coming home bleeding?
When he was 13, he was climbing the old windmill.
One of the bolts has rusted through.
He fell and hit his head.
I was jealous 'cause Mum kept him home from school for three weeks.
But you're saying he was shot?
Audrey, did Glenn have any enemies?
Ex-girlfriends, boyfriends?
People he owed money to?
Did he have arguments?
Glenn wasn't interested in girls... or boys.
Glenn was simple.
He was simple before the fall and he certainly wasn't sharper after.
But he was happy.
He loved dogs, he loved cake and he adored Mum.
They were inseparable.
No-one would have wanted to shoot him.
(PHONE BUZZES)
It's quite sad that you miss me so much.
This is why I don't have a dog.
I'm calling about Kerrie Matheson.
SORAYA: Is that your ute out the front?
Did you ever drive Glenn around?
No. Mum insisted on doing that.
I guess it made her feel like she was protecting Glenn.
Listen, I don't know what else to tell you.
Do you know why she died yet? Was...was it a stroke?
No, no stroke.
Did you know that your mother had advanced breast cancer?
It had metastasised into her lungs and liver.
One more question. I'm...I'm so sorry.
Your mother had something else in her lungs.
Spores.
Plant spores.
Her orchids.
Apart from Glenn, they're what she loved most.
Thank you, Audrey.
So, Kerrie Matheson didn't have a stroke,
but she did have terminal cancer.
Mm, and a mentally impaired son
who probably would have been lost without her.
Do you think she hit that tree on purpose?
Murder-suicide? Maybe.
Orchids.
"Apart from Glenn, that's the thing she loved most."
Do you think Audrey was jealous of her brother?
Enough to shoot him in the head?
If she did shoot him and didn't kill him, why didn't she finish the job?
(PHONE BUZZES)
Hello?
Robert Quinn's car has come up.
What?
The cops found his car.
How do you know?
I'm staring at it.
I see.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't know.
Everything OK?
Yeah.
Ahh.
Quinn's phone. MAN: Detective.
So, am I walking home?
Well, that's up to you.
Why didn't you tell me you'd found Quinn's car?
(SIGHS) I'm so sorry.
I did not want to keep that from you.
Who told you?
Not Pavich?
Nichols.
Oh, he went to see Steph.
Of course she'd tell you.
So everyone knew but me?
Why?
Everyone thought that if you heard about the car,
you'd make it your mission.
Everyone thinks you're loyal to Steph.
So, uh...
..what's everyone thinking?
Well, either Quinn put the car in the dam himself,
or someone put it in there for him.
You found the car?
Yeah, and that's why I'm off the case -
because I overstepped the mark.
You found the car?
Yeah.
BRYAN: Evening.
You haven't changed a bit, have you, Lewison?
Jeez, except for that dodgy haircut. Did you lose a bet, mate?
(SIGHS) So nice to see you, Bryan.
Yeah. So what's this, eh?
A shakedown?
Oh, I don't do shakedowns, Lew. No.
Hey, I heard about that little episode you had.
I would keep very fuckin' quiet about that if I were you.
So if this is not a shakedown...
..what is it?
Robert Quinn.
Who had it in for him?
You got a phone book? (LAUGHS)
Why?
Is he dead?
Shit. Who owed him the most?
Quinn was shit at picking winners, but he wasn't a fool.
He owed a lot of people, but as far as I know,
he never owed one person more than, I don't know, a couple of grand.
Never enough to break an arm, or... let alone top him.
Besides, dead men don't pay.
So you're telling me he never ripped big bucks off anyone?
Oh...there was this one person, yeah.
It's freezing.
Did I wake you?
Well, you're my hot water bottle, so yeah.
What are you looking for?
I just remembered
that I have something that belonged to my husband.
Should I go home?
You know I was married.
Me twice.
OK, then you win on that one.
My second husband... The cop.
He really...
He...hurt me.
People...I don't think people understand how much.
Well, I want to know...
..if you wanna tell me.
Sometime.
But he's gone, right?
So then everything's gonna be OK.
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS) We missed the bus.
120 bucks.
We'll get another one tomorrow.
(SIGHS) What about tonight?
We'll get a room.
We'll run out of money.
We only need enough for another ticket.
Where'd you go?
Where's your sister?
She's down visiting Mum.
Nephew?
Son.
Peter.
Where is he?
In Melbourne.
With his father?
Aneurysm.
Like a bullet in the brain.
Sorry.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(PHONE BUZZES)
It's late.
Fern called.
She told me about Quinn's car.
Nichols told me not to tell you.
And you didn't.
How does knowing about Rob's car help you? What can you do?
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
What do you think they're gonna do? The police?
They'll just keep going.
They won't stop now until they know whether Robert is alive or dead.
And if he's dead, they won't stop until someone's charged.
What should I do?
How do you feel about it?
I'm glad they found it.
Is Fern OK?
I hardly know her anymore, so...
Dan, I've gotta go.
(COUGHS)
Slide over.
(COUGHS)
I saw you here yesterday with our lovely Senior Sergeant.
You and your pretty friend.
Pegged her as Forensics.
Not sure about you.
Morgue.
Pathologist.
You're a long way from home.
This...is that Holly, isn't it?
And this is you.
You were the sergeant here when Holly went missing.
Why didn't you go into the church for Glenn and Kerrie yesterday?
Everyone loved them.
Except you.
I found a bullet in Glenn's brain.
It had been there a long time.
You know who might have shot him?
Like you say, everyone loved them.
Like I say, except you.
I was the cop here when Glenn was a kid.
Around that time, there was a string of animals found dead.
Mutilated.
Cats.
A sheep. Stray dogs.
You didn't catch anyone? No.
But it all stopped after Glenn Matheson hit his head at the farm.
Thing is, two weeks ago,
I was in behind the showground,
and I found bones.
Dog bones.
Burned.
Another stray got doused with petrol, just like 20 years ago.
What's that got to do with Holly Ostwald?
What happened to her?
I don't know.
The person to ask would be her best friend.
I want to know about Holly Ostwald.
Holly was a friend at school,
and one day, she vanished.
Why?
Do you know what happened to her?
No.
Did your mother know?
Or Glenn?
What happened to your neck?
I'm calling the police.
(SHOUTING) No! No!
(BANG!)
Guess we're both getting pretty good at sneaking out.
I didn't want to wake you.
Wake me.
I got your message.
Audrey Matheson did report a minor accident in her utility
five weeks ago.
What's this about?
Look at this.
That was 20 years ago.
Exactly.
Now look at this.
Here is where we found the bullet, and this.
Scar tissue. The route the bullet travelled.
Old scar tissue.
20 years old?
And what's that? That's scar tissue too, isn't it?
Yes. Recent scar tissue.
About a month or two old.
So, the bullet moved a month or two ago?
And Audrey had a minor bingle in her ute five weeks ago.
So...the bullet shifted and didn't kill him.
No.
The bullet is in his frontal lobe -
the part of the brain that affects personality.
I think when that bullet shifted about a month or two ago,
Glenn's personality changed.
Changed how?
Changed back.
Don't let Fairley see you working on one of his patients.
Oh, I'm not - you are.
Her lungs are over there.
I need to know more about those spores.
I can't help you.
You can.
I looked up Glenn Matheson's records.
You arrested him age 12 for animal cruelty
but you never charged him.
Kerrie covered for him.
I looked up your records too.
You were in charge of the weapons buyback.
You let Kerrie Matheson keep her .22
when she should have got a licence for it.
Why?
Why does any idiot break the rules for a woman?
I loved her.
I let her keep it on one condition.
That she use it?
There was no accident at the farm, was there?
Glenn didn't hit his head.
His mother shot him because of the animals and because of Holly.
Where is Holly?
The only person who knew for sure was shot in the head.
And his memory went with it.
(PHONE RINGS)
Ah, Dr Harrow. Craig Yellowly.
Yes, I can see you, Yellowly.
Oh. Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) Technology.
Now, listen, I received a call about those spores.
Congratulations. That is quite a rare find.
Now, speaking of which... hello there, Sergeant Dass.
Uh, the spores? Oh, yes.
Stropharia aurantiaca.
Scarlet Roundhead.
It's a New Zealand mushroom that's not common here at all.
Well, how would Kerrie Matheson have them?
Oh, well, I...I suppose spores could travel with other rare plants -
uh...lilies, ferns, orchids.
Alright. Send me an invoice.
She's not here. Car's gone.
I'm going to go into town, see if I can find the sergeant.
You wait here.
See if she comes back.
Daniel?
Just wait here, OK?
(SCRAPING)
(SOBBING IN DISTANCE)
(SOBBING)
(SNIFFLES TEARFULLY, BREATHES SHAKILY)
(SNIFFLES)
(SOBS) Holly.
Did you know she was here?
Mum always said, "Don't go in the orchid house."
That was her private space, and now I know why.
And I knew.
About Glenn.
From when we were little.
From when I came home from school
and found my dead mouse.
After that, Mum never left me alone with him.
But he would still get out and do...
..bad things.
Mum tried to get help for him.
I...I guess she hoped he'd just stop, but he didn't stop.
He kept going.
And then he saw Holly.
(METALLIC RATTLING) (GIRL SCREAMS)
I knew when Holly went missing that it was Glenn,
but I never knew he killed her on the property.
(SNIFFLES)
I found Mum one night in the kitchen.
She looked...
..so tired.
(EXHALES HEAVILY) She told me no matter what I heard
to stay in bed.
I didn't know what she was going to do until...
(GUNSHOT)
The next morning...
..everything changed.
Glenn changed.
The devil became the angel.
I guess Mum figured, what was the point in having him arrested?
She tried to kill him and in return got this simple, beautiful boy.
What was the point in telling anyone?
Holly's family.
We said he hit his head.
And everyone fell in love with the new Glenn, even Mum.
But she never left me alone with him again.
Until her car broke down a couple of months ago.
I offered to pick Glenn up from...
..from the bakery and I...
(LAUGHTER ECHOES)
..I had an accident.
(TYRES SQUEAL)
(THUD!)
And then he changed?
And this?
(WHIMPERS, CRIES OUT)
Get off! Get off!
That's when Mum knew
she had to finish what she started 20 years ago.
I knew about the cancer.
I think that made it easier.
MAXINE: She sacrificed herself because she loved her child.
Guess there's something laudable in that.
She also hid a murder.
Yeah, well, that is unforgiveable.
Nevertheless, it's fascinating.
Frontal lobe injury
resulting in dramatic changes to social behaviour,
IQ, sexual interests,
but then...then a second change?
You should write a paper.
Publish?
No, I think I'll leave publishing for those who want to work in Geneva.
When were you going to tell me?
When it concerns you.
So you don't think it does?
It's not your business, Daniel.
And believe it or not,
not every decision is made for the greater good.
And when were you going to tell me about Quinn's car?
Keeping that from me was for the greater good?
Yes.
Don't you trust me? Of course I trust you.
But what good does knowing do for you?
What if Quinn is dead?
What if the bones you've been banging on about are Quinn's?
He was a bad egg, and we all warned Steph about him.
Look, it is what it is.
And if Quinn is dead, then you know that Bryan will find the killer.
You just need to sit tight and keep doing your work.
Here we go.
MAN: (OVER PA) The 11:45 bus to Gold Coast is leaving from Bay 14.
Seriously?
I can't go yet.
Why?
I...I have some things I need to find out.
What?
Don't tell me.
You CAN'T tell me.
Cal, I'm so sorry. Fish...
..you know I love you...
but you still can't tell me what's going on.
Here.
What?
Like you say, I won't need it once I'm there.
No, no, Cal, just wait a few days.
I can't.
(BUS ENGINE STARTS)
(BEEP!)
Hi.
Harrow.
Bloody shame Quinn's parents are dead.
We'd have the DNA sorted and we'd know for sure.
You're on the case?
Now his car's up.
(CHUCKLES) You and Dass, eh?
You're bloody terriers.
I thought I wasn't supposed to know.
Ah, yeah. Nah. Well, Maxine said you worked it out.
Hey, listen, tell me,
how much do you think his wedding band was worth?
I don't know.
You'd have to ask Steph.
Men's wedding band?
I'd say no more than a grand.
Yeah, agreed.
Hardly worth the trouble of cutting it off.
You know, that might not be Quinn.
Mm.
Right, we're diving again.
If we find that skull... (PHONE RINGS)
..it'll be a done deal.
Hmm. I'd best away.
Huh. Good work on keeping these.
We're gonna nail this one.
Nichols.
Hey, Bryan.
Oh, g'day, Nick.
You found his phone, hey?
Yeah, and got a warrant for his voicemails.
Now, we found a message on Quinn's phone October the 2nd,
which is the day before his car went into the dam.
It's from Steph Tolson.
QUINN: Hi. This is Rob.
Sorry I can't talk.
Leave a message, and I promise I'll call you back.
STEPH: Fucking arsehole.
That's it. I warned you.
Now when I find you, I'm going to fucking kill you.
Next on Harrow...
Am I under surveillance? We know you went and saw Steph.
Did she say or do anything to make you think
she was involved in Quinn's disappearance?
The divers found a skull. It's Quinn's.
Rhys Weir, member of the rowing squad.
Unfortunately, Rhys lost the single sculls event.
Not quite the tight crew I expected.
You still angry about Rhys losing that race?
Yeah, I am.
We're asking all the boys that were with Rhys the night he died
to provide a saliva swab for DNA testing.
