Are you interested in planes?
I could take you for a spin.

Oh, no, thank you.

made a meal of your last mishap.

181
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:39,890
PHRYNE: Where would I find
the headquarters
182
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,483
of the Victorian Amalgamated
Mechanics Association?
183
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,147
The European Club.
That's where you'll find them.
184
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:46,237
Hobnobbing with
Bert's red-ragger mates.
185
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,607
If my memory serves me,
that's somewhere on Sydney Road?
186
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:50,324
Sydney Road, Brunswick.
187
00:10:50,441 --> 00:10:52,193
And we know that James Manning
was nosing around them,
188
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:53,786
trying to find out
who sabotaged his plane.
189
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:55,405
Perhaps that's where he met
this mystery woman.
190
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:56,656
Does that match our ticket, Dot?
191
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,920
Yes, miss.
This ticket would get you there.
192
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:04,539
Sounds like you ladies
need an escort
193
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:05,916
to the wrong side of town.
194
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,883
Any excuse to see you know who.
195
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,173
- Who?
- Who?
196
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:10,967
Some Russian sheila
he's soft on.
197
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:12,885
She works in the cloak room.
198
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:16,180
She hemmed me trousers,
that's all.
199
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:19,896
Don't mention Mr. Butler.
Or the stock exchange.
200
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:21,765
And don't say
you send out your laundry.
201
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:23,187
I doubt your comrades will care
202
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:25,481
who washes
my Herminie Cadolle lingerie.
203
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:28,902
- And don't talk like a toff.
- Sorry.
204
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:31,320
[ Knocking on door]
205
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:39,541
You can get out.
You're no use to anyone.
206
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:43,912
I'm just saying that this --
This is Australia, not Russia!
207
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:45,789
So now you've got a problem
with the revolution?
208
00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:47,882
What are you, a bloody idiot?
209
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:51,048
You think a whole bunch of words
is gonna change the world?
210
00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:52,546
Why don't you
hand your card in now?
211
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:54,138
Go on.
Throw it on the table.
212
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:10,818
Mr. Higgins?
213
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:12,782
My boss needs a little help.
214
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,448
All right.
215
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:19,246
Miss Fisher.
216
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:21,458
Rupert Higgins.
Pleased to meet you.
217
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:25,920
Albert here claims that
as far as capitalist bosses go,
218
00:12:26,037 --> 00:12:27,289
you're not too bad.
219
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,665
Noblesse oblige.
220
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,794
I do my best from on high,
Mr. Higgins.
221
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:34,592
Like you, I'm sure.
222
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:41,723
This couple
you want to know about.
223
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,017
Yes.
224
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:46,649
This is James Manning.
225
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:48,439
- Military.
- Air force.
226
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,233
Though I doubt he would have
shown off his uniform in here.
227
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:53,197
And I'm not sure
that they were a couple.
228
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:55,112
He's not familiar.
229
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:58,988
What about the woman?
Tall, dark-haired, late 20s.
230
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,659
There was a young woman
231
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,703
that started coming to our
meetings a few weeks ago.
232
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:04,326
Do you remember her name?
233
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:06,248
That's another thing
people don't show off in here.
234
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:08,371
We've been raided
too many times.
235
00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:10,874
Seditious publications.
236
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:14,003
I remember she did pick up
a few pamphlets afterwards.
237
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:17,301
If it's the woman you're after,
she seemed smart, educated.
238
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:18,674
So she was alone?
239
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,425
That's why I noticed her.
240
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:24,020
This isn't the kind of place
frequented by single women,
241
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:27,186
apart from
a few remarkable exceptions.
242
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,568
Why are you trying
to track her down?
243
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:32,028
That's the problem.
We're not.
244
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:35,115
She was found in bushland
early this morning.
245
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:37,325
Suspected murder.
246
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:45,041
[ Russian accent] No, she never
say her name.
247
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:47,911
I can't believe she is killed.
248
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,913
Tatiana, meet Miss Fisher.
249
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,587
Hello.
Tatiana Feoderoff.
250
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:54,505
I know this woman,
but she is not my friend.
251
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:55,797
She is my customer.
252
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:58,046
BERT:
And she was here last night.
253
00:13:58,171 --> 00:14:00,299
Yes, I see her but...
254
00:14:00,423 --> 00:14:04,599
Well, I know she looks fancy,
but you can trust her.
255
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:06,847
I see her with a man from here.
256
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:08,769
Higgins.
You know him?
257
00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:10,142
BERT: Go on, love.
258
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,234
On the stairs.
259
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:16,903
He did not see me, but he had
her arm like this -- strong.
260
00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:18,775
Was he friendly or angry?
261
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,777
They were whispering.
I could not hear.
262
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:23,325
But from their faces,
it was important.
263
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:26,450
Thank you, Miss Feoderoff.
You've been most helpful.
264
00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:28,747
Please, don't say I tell you.
265
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:31,166
Don't worry.
We'll keep it under our hats.
266
00:14:33,164 --> 00:14:34,962
What's that?
267
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:38,053
May I have that coat --
The dusty rose one?
268
00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:40,012
It's her missing coat.
269
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:42,632
TATIANA: Yes.
Yes, she left it here.
270
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,395
This is to fix the inside.
Here.
271
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:52,355
Thank you.
272
00:14:52,475 --> 00:14:54,898
I may need an expert opinion.
273
00:14:57,397 --> 00:15:00,776
The fabric is excellent quality,
a silk wool jersey,
274
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,153
so the whole ensemble
would have been very expensive.
275
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:04,654
If I could examine it
more closely,
276
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:06,122
I might find
a dressmaker's mark.
277
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:07,912
Of course.
Collins.
278
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:15,707
I also found something
in the coat pocket,
279
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,506
but you're going to have to
play nicely.
280
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:21,129
Why aren't you at the RAAF,
wing-walking or something?
281
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:23,803
Now, that won't score you
any points.
282
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:26,221

Do you think our victim
291
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,449
was passing James Manning
information?
292
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:48,744
Could explain what she was doing
near the base, with his keys.
293
00:15:48,865 --> 00:15:51,163
What about next of kin
on Manning's military file?
294
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:52,376
You should be impressed
295
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:53,494
I managed to get
his service number
296
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,041
before Compton whisked it away.
297
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:57,666
You know, you and Compton
are very similar, Jack.
298
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,212
I think you'd like him.
299
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:02,212
I don't think one
necessarily follows the other.
300
00:16:02,336 --> 00:16:05,465
All right, full points for that.
301
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:10,224
A match for the love letter.
302
00:16:14,557 --> 00:16:17,777
I was hoping we might try
that new pie cart for lunch.
303
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:19,775
Were you?
304
00:16:21,314 --> 00:16:24,067
I know we've got a few things
to settle before our big day.
305
00:16:24,192 --> 00:16:26,320
- Like my job.
- Like your job.
306
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:30,540
But I thought we could also
talk about settling on a date.
307
00:16:32,033 --> 00:16:36,834
So maybe you could
worry about that
308
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:39,207
and leave the investigating
to Miss Fisher.
309
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:41,551
And maybe you can try
that pie cart on your own.
310
00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:45,885
I've suddenly lost my appetite.

The only other thing I managed
to glean from his file

00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,697
was his height -- 5'6".
323
00:17:10,821 --> 00:17:12,323
Hardly a giant.

10 at the most.

00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:24,835
I've told Miss Fisher everything
I know about James Manning.
354
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:26,923
I'm also interested
in another matter.
355
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:29,464
A woman found dead this morning
outside the base.
356
00:19:29,585 --> 00:19:31,337
I saw the police car.
357
00:19:31,462 --> 00:19:34,181
We have reason to believe that
Flight Lieutenant James Manning
358
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,800
knew the dead woman.
359
00:19:35,925 --> 00:19:37,518
What's this got to do with me?
360
00:19:37,635 --> 00:19:40,184
Your boots are a match
for a very particular footprint
361
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:41,476
we found beside the body.
362
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:43,895
You need
your right heel repaired.
363
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:44,938
What?
364
00:19:45,059 --> 00:19:46,436
You also need to tell us more
365
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,312
about your relationship
with James Manning.
366
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:50,110
Where did you get that?
367
00:19:50,231 --> 00:19:53,485
Yes, Miss Fisher.
Where did you get that?
368
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:54,656
As you were, Jones.
369
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:00,033
You two.
With me.
370
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:02,868
We have good reason to believe
371
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:04,245
both men
were at the crime scene.
372
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:05,667
I'm not interested
in speculation.
373
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:08,007
I am.
What about a love triangle?
374
00:20:08,124 --> 00:20:09,626
I can't imagine that.
375
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:11,548
Well, it's not that difficult.
One woman, two men.
376
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:13,512
It has been known
to lead to conflict.
377
00:20:13,629 --> 00:20:15,802
We need to conduct
a more extensive search.
378
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,425
I'm sorry, but I can't allow
a civilian search
379
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,052
on military grounds.
380
00:20:19,176 --> 00:20:21,554
Then how do you expect me
to conduct my investigation?
381
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,932
Inspector, I appreciate
you have a job to do
382
00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:26,104
and a public to answer to,
but so do I.
383
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:27,693
And at this point in history,
384
00:20:27,810 --> 00:20:29,778
I believe my position
to be the more precarious.
385
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:31,943
I do hope you understand.
386
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,579
On another matter, Phryne.
387
00:20:38,696 --> 00:20:40,118
A personal one.
388
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,082
There could never be
a love triangle.
389
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:52,506
Willis and James would never
fight over any woman.
390
00:20:52,626 --> 00:20:54,219
Lovers?
391
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:57,385
I have no proof, of course,
but if it were to get out,
392
00:20:57,506 --> 00:21:01,352
it would be the last straw
for the RAAF and for me.
393
00:21:01,469 --> 00:21:04,894
Even so, both of them had
something to do with that woman,
394
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:07,483
and if you genuinely want me to
find out what happened to James,
395
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,523
then you have to give me
free access to this place.

Hello, Hugh.
401
00:21:40,382 --> 00:21:42,476
I've come to return
your evidence.
402
00:21:42,593 --> 00:21:44,846
How are you going
with that postmark?
403
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,018
Ah, good.
I'm nearly there.
404
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:49,141
The town
definitely starts with a "C,"
405
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:51,564
and it's nine letters long.
406
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:56,065
Might help to narrow it down
to the suburbs of Perth.
407
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:59,360
And why would I do that?
408
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,790
Bon Marche.
Perth, Western Australia.
409
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,082
Yes, that -- that might help,
410

but it's still not the answer,
is it?
411
00:22:13,916 --> 00:22:16,419
Stick to the whole of Australia,
then, Hugh.
412
00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:34,028
Can't be easy, a military man in
charge of a unionized workforce.
413
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:36,522
Oh, they all toed the line
well enough,
414
00:22:36,647 --> 00:22:38,069
until the rumors started.
415
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:39,988
About Willis and James?
416
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:41,736
I wasn't the only one
who saw him
417
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:43,955
sneak out of Willis' quarters
at all hours.
418
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,574
Moment he arrived,
he started work on Willis.
419
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:50,329
- Preyed on him.
- So Willis lost respect?
420
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:51,829
Then that plane came down,
421
00:22:51,954 --> 00:22:55,208
and James pointed the finger
at the union.
422
00:22:55,332 --> 00:22:59,883
What did he accuse them of,
shoddy work or party politics?
423
00:23:00,004 --> 00:23:03,508
Both. And it didn't make
Willis' life any easier.
424
00:23:05,134 --> 00:23:07,887
Do you think Willis will be able
to pull off this air show?
425
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:09,309
Without a doubt.
426
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,057
He's a better flier
than James ever was.
427
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:14,435
He can loop-de-loop
and barrel-roll like a bird.
428
00:23:19,523 --> 00:23:20,615
Does Willis smoke?
429
00:23:22,776 --> 00:23:24,778
No. Never.
430
00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:29,993
Mac was right, Jack.
She was poisoned.
431
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:31,460
DR. MAC:
By her own cigarettes.
432
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:33,579
I found that at the back
of Willis Jones' desk.
433
00:23:33,704 --> 00:23:35,251
The packet's a match
434
00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:37,215
for the cigarette you found
near the victim's body.
435
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:39,927
Except that cigarette
was harmless.
436
00:23:40,044 --> 00:23:42,797
The cigarette found
in the packet contained ricin.
437
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:45,766
Blood samples have confirmed
it -- ricinus communis.
438
00:23:45,883 --> 00:23:47,476
From castor oil?
439
00:23:47,593 --> 00:23:49,721
From the beans of the
castor seed plant, to be exact.
440
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:51,722
The oil itself isn't poisonous.
441
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:53,144
I'm impressed you're even close.

00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,233

banned them.

at the military hospital.

That must have been
where James and Virginia met.

But if what you're telling me
about James is true,

PHRYNE:
A packet of cigarettes.
526
00:27:49,293 --> 00:27:50,465
COMPTON:
Willis doesn't smoke.
527
00:27:50,586 --> 00:27:52,304
PHRYNE: That's what
made me curious.
528
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:54,765
They match the cigarette found
beside Virginia Forbes' body.
529
00:27:54,882 --> 00:27:56,179
Our victim has a name now.
530
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,553
Well, your inspector
will be happy with that.
531
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,645
Don't you start, Compton.
532
00:28:00,762 --> 00:28:02,639
You two
can squabble over demarcation.
533
00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:04,516
I'm interested
in the big picture.
534
00:28:04,641 --> 00:28:06,609
And how does Jack
fit into your picture?
535
00:28:06,727 --> 00:28:08,354
He's not your usual style.
536
00:28:08,478 --> 00:28:11,732
I don't have a usual style.
I think I'm admirably versatile.
537
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,861
Ah, so I am right.
About Jack.
538
00:28:16,111 --> 00:28:18,330
Too much ballast for lift off.
539
00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:21,371
- Yours or his?
- Probably both.
540
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:24,916
Tempt you with a drink?
541
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,335
Nothing like a drop of brandy
at 10,000 feet
542
00:28:27,456 --> 00:28:29,174
to warm the heart.
543
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:31,293
Is that what you're up to?
544
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:38,343
Remember Madagascar?
545
00:28:38,467 --> 00:28:40,686
God, yes.
How could I forget?
546
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:43,726
It's a miracle
we survived that landing.
547
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:46,976
And then the cyclone
raged for days.
548
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:51,196
Nothing to do but sit it out.
549
00:28:51,313 --> 00:28:54,157
Though we did manage to think of
a few other things.
550
00:28:54,274 --> 00:28:56,777
Ah, the good old days.
551
00:28:56,902 --> 00:28:59,325
How I've missed
the thrill of them.
552
00:29:02,157 --> 00:29:04,125
There must be a connection
between the three of them.
553
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:07,247
If it wasn't romantic,
what was it?
554
00:29:07,371 --> 00:29:09,214
Not sure what a red-ragger
would have in common
555
00:29:09,331 --> 00:29:10,753
with a couple
of RAAF pilots, sir.
556
00:29:10,874 --> 00:29:13,377
Which suggests their rendezvous
were clandestine.
557
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:15,721
But it wasn't
a very private place to meet.
558
00:29:15,837 --> 00:29:18,556
There was an old sentry box
just inside the base.
559
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:26,641
- Bring the car around, Collins.
- Yes, sir.

These have to be
James Manning's.

Candy's crystals?
Antiseptic?
564
00:31:34,684 --> 00:31:37,107
Why would he take
his clothes off out here?
565
00:31:38,647 --> 00:31:39,944
Oh.

Oi!

00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:04,681
Get in the car, Hugh.

And what on earth...
591
00:33:05,859 --> 00:33:07,532
It's a police matter,
Miss Fisher.
592
00:33:07,652 --> 00:33:08,699
It's none of your concern.

The note
by Virginia Forbes' body.

The love letter is a quote
from Leonardo da Vinci.

could have been an aviatrix?

That, my dear Dot,
is a very good question.

Nothing a DeBevoise bandeau
wouldn't fix.

I should have picked up on her
face being so heavily powdered.

And this will explain
the Condy's crystals, Inspector.

also known as Virginia Forbes.
624

She swore she'd find a way to
join the air force, and she did.
625
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:26,545
By assuming the identity of
Flight Lieutenant James Manning,
626
00:35:26,666 --> 00:35:28,213
who was admitted
to the Perth hospital
627
00:35:28,335 --> 00:35:29,882
where Virginia was nursing.
628
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:33,849
The real James Manning
was committed to a sanatorium.
629
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,718
But Ginny knew
630
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:39,187
he'd been about to be taking up
a posting in Melbourne.
631
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:43,605
So she stole his identity papers
and doctored the medical report
632
00:35:43,725 --> 00:35:45,272
to say he was fit for duty.
633
00:35:45,393 --> 00:35:48,863
You've got to admire
her ingenuity.
634
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,324
And an exceptional aviatrix,
by all accounts.
635

636
00:35:54,402 --> 00:35:56,029
That was Ginny.

00:35:56,154 --> 00:36:00,751
Did you know about her forays
into the Communist Party?
638
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:02,244
I knew she was fired up
639
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:04,838
and that she suspected someone
in the unions.
640
00:36:04,954 --> 00:36:07,423
She said she had found out
who was behind the sabotage.
641
00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:09,713
- Any names?
- No.
642
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:13,384
But she said she'd befriended
someone at the club
643
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,678
and was paying them
to find her proof.
644
00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:17,801
A Russian girl.
645
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:21,055
She promised me she would stop
as soon as she'd found it.

We know you were with her
when she died.
647
00:36:23,807 --> 00:36:26,526
She came back frantic
that night.
648
00:36:26,643 --> 00:36:30,819
She was beside herself.
649
00:36:30,939 --> 00:36:34,034
She was sweating.
She...
650
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,402
She couldn't breathe.
651
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:38,576
There was no time
to go for any help.
652
00:36:40,865 --> 00:36:42,867
She died in my arms.
653
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:45,836
So you removed anything
that might identify her
654
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:47,206

00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:14,984
No, I had no idea.

That'll be all.

to speak with you again.

doctored the cigarette.

Whether Willis murdered Ginny
with these or not,
668

why would he hold on to this?

so interested in it?
670

We may need a Russian
to help us find out.

I don't reckon they'll be happy
to see any of us back in there.

Now perhaps you'd like to
tell us who you really are.

This passport's a fake.
It's a good one but a fake.

- After the revolution.
- How well did you know Ginny?
693
00:39:39,127 --> 00:39:43,678
She saw me at the club tearing
one of Higgins' pamphlets.
694
00:39:43,798 --> 00:39:48,144
So she tells me she knows
they are lies too.
695
00:39:48,261 --> 00:39:50,889
- Then I tell her everything.
- About Russia?

but they are only children.

But Ginny asked you to do
a lot more than just her sewing,
700
00:40:03,776 --> 00:40:06,199
didn't she, Tatiana?
701
00:40:06,321 --> 00:40:08,244
You made a deal.
702
00:40:10,325 --> 00:40:12,123
She said she would save me
703
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:14,712
if I steal from Higgins
what she wants.
704
00:40:16,164 --> 00:40:19,589
- A report to the Comintern.
- Yes.
705
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:24,385
She will tell me the day,
to fly me to somewhere safe.
706
00:40:24,505 --> 00:40:26,098
To a new life.
707
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:27,512
She promised me.
708
00:40:27,634 --> 00:40:29,557
This outlines plans
for further sabotage
709
00:40:29,677 --> 00:40:31,429

this Saturday.
710
00:40:31,554 --> 00:40:33,352
This is definitely
the safest place for you
711
00:40:33,473 --> 00:40:35,817
right now, Miss Krasnaya,
but I need your help.
712
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:39,154
I speak a lot more Russian
than I can read.
713
00:40:40,688 --> 00:40:42,440
Our meeting place.
714
00:40:43,691 --> 00:40:47,616
[Speaking Russian]
is "Tuesday, 4:00."
715
00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:48,954
That's today.
716
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:51,996
And [Speaking Russian]
is "Firebird."
717
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:54,244
The Russian equivalent
of the phoenix.
718
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:59,341
I need to make an urgent phone
call to stop an act of treason.
719
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:04,054
Krasnaya.
What kind of name is that?
720
00:41:04,170 --> 00:41:07,174
My father
was General Anton Krasny.
721
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:09,801
He was an advisor
to the White Army,
722
00:41:09,926 --> 00:41:11,678
against the Bolsheviks.
723
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:14,147
So that cock-and-bull story
about you being illegal
724
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:16,357
and having to get married
was just a con job?
725
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,727
You're a bloody white Russian!
726
00:41:18,851 --> 00:41:22,151
Bert, I was a child.
I knew nothing.
727
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:27,657
I thought
I would be safe with you.
728
00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:30,747
You are a good man, Bert.
729
00:41:30,863 --> 00:41:35,289
You are the kind of man
any woman would come to love.
730
00:41:39,038 --> 00:41:40,335
Willis must have known.
731
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:41,753
That's why he kept
the cigarette packet.
732
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:44,593
And those map coordinates --
1463, here.
733

The Gowrie Park Airfield.
734
00:41:46,838 --> 00:41:49,341
Flying off into the wild blue
yonder seems more appealing
735
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:51,763
than facing a court-martial
for accessory to fraud.
736
00:41:51,884 --> 00:41:56,481
Or perhaps honoring
his dying lover's last wish.
737
00:41:56,597 --> 00:41:58,190
This report isn't signed.
738
00:41:58,307 --> 00:42:00,901
There's no proof Higgins
was behind the sabotage.
739
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:03,613
Which is why Tatiana needs to
keep that rendezvous
740
00:42:03,730 --> 00:42:05,698
with Willis this afternoon.
741
00:42:05,815 --> 00:42:07,567
And why Rupert Higgins
needs to find out about it.
742
00:42:07,692 --> 00:42:09,160
A stakeout?
743
00:42:09,277 --> 00:42:11,826
Preferably with full cooperation
from the air force.
744
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:13,619
I'll leave that part to you.
745
00:42:13,740 --> 00:42:15,993
- We'd better move fast.
- As always.
746
00:42:16,117 --> 00:42:18,165
I'll put out word
at the European Club.
747

BERT: G'day, gents.
748
00:42:32,175 --> 00:42:34,269
Got a special tip
for Rupert Higgins.
749
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:36,854
- Can you pass it on for me?
- MAN: Will do.
750
00:42:40,850 --> 00:42:43,569
I think that's everything, miss.
751
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:44,983
Your pistol's been repaired,
752
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:46,856
and there's
a supply of ammunition
753
00:42:46,981 --> 00:42:48,028
should you require it.
754
00:42:48,149 --> 00:42:49,617
Thank you, Mr. B.
755
00:42:49,734 --> 00:42:51,486
Are you sure I can't do
anything else, miss?
756
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:53,113
No, thank you, Dot.
757
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,786
I know how terrified you are
of leaving the ground.
758
00:42:55,907 --> 00:42:58,501
I would never forgive myself
if anything happened to you.
759
00:42:58,618 --> 00:42:59,995
I wish I felt the same way
about flying
760
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,416
as Mr. Greaves does.
761
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:03,414
He thinks flying's
like being in heaven.
762
00:43:03,539 --> 00:43:06,008
But he was stick in a factory
in Avonmouth for the whole war.
763
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:09,800
Avonmouth's where they made
mustard gas during the war.

we were doing

of that.

got the message, sir?

to die,

and you're brave, and...
875
00:53:22,074 --> 00:53:25,453
...sometimes it scares me
to death.
876
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:32,461
I just want to be the one
to choose what I do.
877
00:53:32,584 --> 00:53:34,962
It's my job.
878
00:53:37,131 --> 00:53:41,011
Well, I guess I'm going to
have to find a way
879
00:53:41,135 --> 00:53:43,103
of being brave about that too.
880
00:53:48,142 --> 00:53:55,321
So, what about Saturday
the 14 of September, 1929?
881
00:53:58,152 --> 00:54:00,405
Sounds perfect.
882
00:54:07,745 --> 00:54:09,793
Two arrests in one day.
883
00:54:09,913 --> 00:54:11,790
Murder and treason.
884
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:13,883
This calls for a celebration.
885
00:54:14,001 --> 00:54:16,003
Well, I still have a report
to write
886
00:54:16,128 --> 00:54:19,257
for the chief commissioner
about a missing Russian émigré
887
00:54:19,381 --> 00:54:22,351
due to give evidence
at Rupert Higgins' trial.
888
00:54:23,761 --> 00:54:27,140
Excuse me, Miss Fisher.
Albert has telephoned.
889
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:30,985
He said
that the caviar has arrived.
890
00:54:31,101 --> 00:54:33,069
Thank you, Mr. B.
891
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:40,035
So if the caviar is who I think
it is, where's it being sent to?
892
00:54:41,779 --> 00:54:43,406
Tasmania.
893
00:54:43,530 --> 00:54:45,282
So, what do I tell my chief?
894
00:54:45,407 --> 00:54:48,502
You can tell him that the air
force doesn't know, either.
895
00:54:48,619 --> 00:54:50,041
That's some consolation.
896
00:54:50,162 --> 00:54:52,130
Even though Compton
saved my life.
897
00:54:52,247 --> 00:54:54,249
- Literally?
- 10 years ago.
898
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:57,002
He had a chute
and he could have bailed,
899
00:54:57,127 --> 00:54:59,550
but he chose
to crash-land the plane
900
00:54:59,671 --> 00:55:04,097
between two mountains in
a ravine, and we both survived.
901
00:55:04,218 --> 00:55:09,725
Well, no doubt you have more
dashing heroes in your past.
902
00:55:09,848 --> 00:55:12,692
If there weren't,
I wouldn't be here.
903
00:55:13,936 --> 00:55:15,404
To heroes, then.
904
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:21,869
And to the one
as yet unsung hero
905
00:55:21,985 --> 00:55:25,285
who has saved me
over and over again.
906
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:36,500
