The Killings at Parrish Station

Have a good night.

This is someone who was very close...

- Mick. - ..to the '87 investigation.

How long you been stalking me?

Kate Reynolds is alive.

I believe you've met Deputy Commissioner Carrick.

Did you assault Callum Parrish this morning?

He was about to enter a crime scene.

You remember 'The Bone Gospel'?

Evidence was taken from the scene.

That book is gone.

It's real. It's Callum's.

You've seen this before?

It's very precious, and now you're precious.

I spoke to the hospital.

I was clear Reynolds was off-limits

until we got the psych report back.

How did you know there was something inside me?

I saw it. Sometimes I can see things.

Farah, that stuff, cut it out.

December 1950.

She killed them, then herself.

Harriet Clay, his mother.

What's that got to do with Kate Reynolds?

I'm telling you, there's no evidence that she ever died.

I'm gonna live.

We need to fix this, you and me.

Anything? Anything at all?

- Mm-mm. - Nothing?

Well, not nothing,

Found a lovely broadband signal

from a quasar in Virgo, 3C.

It's in the report. Faine will get a kick out of it.

Well, he's not gonna get 'em 'cause all the comms are down.

- All of them? - Yeah.

Telefax, radio,

nothing's getting out and nothing is getting in.

I've checked the gear, there's nothing mechanically wrong.

Besides the fact they don't work.

Piss off. I'm fuckin'...

No. No-one's doubting your expertise.

This prick is, and I'm serious...

- No, no, no, come on. - ..it's annoying me now.

- Paul... - No, no, I'm done with it.

..can we please turn the air conditioning up?

The heat is a fucking killer.

How did the comms just stop working?

- How does that happen? - Solar storm?

Happened in '72.

Wiped out radio comms in northern Canada.

No, no, it's Tolliver, can't you see?

He's done something.

Everything was fine until he arrived.

He gets dropped here a month ago,

no warning, no explanation.

Who is this guy?

And why is he stacking rocks?

There's something wrong with him.

- I apologise. - Ah!

Ray, we were, um, just...

It's alright. I understand the imposition. It's not ideal.

I'm grateful to all of you.

- I'll be done soon. - Yep.

And then I'll be gone.

Radio check, radio check.

This is Parrish Research Station. Over.

Radio check, radio check.

This is Parrish Research Station. Over.

Oh, this fuckin' piece of shit!

Good, Katyushka.

Now you know how to say "this fuckin' piece of shit".

Hmm. Handy.

Do you want a beer?

Spasibo.

This is not a solar storm.

Yeah, I know.

Then why did you say it might be?

What happens if they panic, Anton?

We're completely cut off.

What happens if Boyd loses it?

Is Edgars gonna keep him in line?

Are you...? Me?

You know the case Tolliver carries around?

There's a book in it.

You've seen inside that case?

I didn't mean to snoop. I'm not a snooper.

But yes, yes, I... I saw it.

Why does he have a book locked up?

And those rocks he stacks.

I think they are markers.

Tolliver is marking something.

Well, he's creeping everyone out.

Someone should talk to him.

It's got to be me, hasn't it?

- Anton. - Huh?

You know, Boyd is right, Katyushka.

Tolliver has done something.

There is something wrong with this place.

Get out of the heat, Anton.

I'll talk to Tolliver.

Thought you might want a drink.

Pretty hot.

I mean, the beer's hot too, but it's beer, so...

Radio's still down.

Think Boyd might lose it

if he can't listen to the cricket after Christmas.

Hey, um, listen, Ray...

..I know you haven't been here long,

but it gets easier.

The isolation.

- This place. - There isn't a place anymore.

- What's that? - No place.

No time.

You feel it.

Right.

It's true.

The barrier between this and the other

is paper-thin here now.

There is no here.

There is no now.

It's coming back.

It's happened before and now it's coming back.

W-what's coming back?

"It sleepeth in the darkness, dead,

"with hunger of unended years."

OK.

Listen, um, I think you should probably get some sleep.

Oh, come on, come on.

Come on.

Anton?

Boyd?

Kate?

I...

Uh...

Ray, did you catch whatever the fuck that...

Ray. Ray!

Ray... Oh, my...

Oh, uh, um, Ray.

Ray, can you hear me?

- Put him on the couch. - Was it heat stroke?

- He was out there for two hours. - Just put him down here.

Oh, this is not a heat stroke.

We need to take him to a doctor.

I'll drive him.

- Jeep doesn't work. - What's wrong with it?

As of a week ago, it won't start.

Uh, and you knew this?

Yeah, look, I thought it was best not to concern anyone.

- Gee. - Concerned?

Well, we're pretty fucking concerned now, Paul.

- Boyd, stand back. - He's awake.

Hey, mate. Ray, are you OK?

- What's wrong? - It hurts...

- What hurts? - It hurts.

- OK, yeah, just stay calm. - It hurts. You need to...

- Alright, what's wrong? - ..help me.

- Yep. Just stay calm. - You really need to help me.

- Hey, hey. - Get it out.

Get it out!

- Ray! - You need to get it out of me!

You need to get it out...

It's not the battery, it's not the fuel line.

- So what is it? - I don't know.

It could be anything.

It'll take me a while to work it out.

Fuck that. Is there any way we could just walk?

Like, we get all the water we can and we just go.

Yeah, we just go and walk? Walk?! Walk for 300km?

I know for a fact there's an old mining station

about 60km south of here.

It might have, I don't know, radios

or vehicles or something, like, 60 kays...

Gary, listen to me. It will kill you. You will die.

Do you understand how fucking dangerous this situation is?

There's no danger.

We're fine. We've got a man who's exhausted.

We'll deal with it in the morning.

Someone needs to stay up with him.

Ah. I'll do it.

- You need sleep. - We all need sleep.

Alright. We alright?

Where's Tolliver?

- Ray? - Huh?
