The Kettering Incident

The Kettering Incident Episode 6

Tell me, Senior Constable

Did you speak directly

to Detective Sergeant Dutch at any point with these allegations?

Given the circumstances, I didn't think that was wise

Really? Why not?

I believe ... he could have had time to

conceal the evidence, and ...

- So you thought it was better to drop a senior officer,

from a great police family, right into the shit,

from the get go.

Well, I thought the seriousness of this situation warranted that I ...

Have you not heard of honor, son?

Stayfe ...

Young McFadden was possibly right to raise this concern.

If these matters were true,

then there'd be serious questions that need to be answered.

I'm convinced they are true, Sir, I found the drugs in his locker

You don't think that might be an offense?

I was looking to return a cardigan to the girl's mother.

A cardigan, that he denied ever taking ...

Yes, I'm aware of these matters.

Snr. Detective Dutch has been reporting directly to me

Necessarily hush-hush because we believe that there may be certain

organized crime figures involved.

Everything you have mentioned

has been lodged directly with me.

Including the drugs in his locker.

All there.

As you see, dated well before your discovery.

It was correct procedure to bring it directly to us, thank you.

You may return to your station now, thanks Snr Constable.

Tell me about the world outside

How long?

Couple of weeks

What am I going to tell the boys, huh?

- Well, you did promise you could deliver, mate

And I fucking tried!

Oh, well I know it must be hard

Hard ...

You think this is hard.

Well, the new owners, y'know mate ...

- The new owners have no intention of running this as a wood mill, Jack

and you know that as well as I fucking do!

Who's going to buy a wood mill that's been running at a loss for 5 yrs?

They're going to turn it to a fucking tourist farm for UFO nutters or a ...

or a fucking art gallery, gettin'

paper made from coco palms from the

fucking Amazon, or some shit!

How the fuck is that going to help this town?

Tourism, it's not a bad thing mate.

You know what ...

Fuck off!

Get out of my office

I can't deal with you right now,

I've gotta find a way to tell the men of this town

that their livelihoods have gone down the fucking gurgler!

How many cooks went through here when you owned the place?

One,

a month.

They come here to escape the rat race.

13 thousand parma's later, they run back home.

- Don't knock the parma - Heh, yeah

Oh, eugh ... !

- Augh .... - Look at that!

Right, that's it,

God is definitely telling us something.

You were out for a drive?

Patrolling penguins or something?

'Or something'

Apparently Travis Kingston hasn't been seen since yesterday afternoon.

He's probably got some poor tourist trapped in a cave somewhere.

Did Dane call in?

- I told him not to bother. - Why?

I've organized for a few men to look over Mother Sullivan's Ridge.

Is this based on the flowers that you found?

Apparently they grow up there.

Seems like a good place to start.

Pretty ironic, hey

Max's daughter being killed on his own property.

I'd call it tragic, but --

I guess that's what makes us different.

So,

hypothetically,

Chloe's body was lugged across Sullivan's Ridge all the way to the mill

Or someone drove her

You see the state of her clothes? Uh-uh.

We're looking for a strong bastard.

Travis Kingston?

Yeah, maybe

A logger?

Then I ask myself, who gains by moving her?

If you're a logger, why not just dump her in the middle of Mordor?

Let's face it, no one goes up there.

To put the blame on them?

You'd have to think so.

But if not?

An activist might've done it.

You kill her,

you dump her body at the mill,

dirty logging fascists get the blame,

and the pristine wilderness,

is saved for our childern's children.

By the way,

you can return this to Barbara Holloway.

I forgot I had it.

Snr Constable Fergus McFadden.

You're where?

Just stay where you are.

Run away penguin.

Anna!

What the fuck?

How did no one notice that?

Just a week ago, this dam was completely full of water.

How do you know that?

What are you doing here?

There's something else.

This must have been where she was murdered.

She told me about this place at the party.

Please Anna, you said you knew nothing.

Day after the party, I realised that I'd left my coat in her car.

When she didn't come home, I came here.

And?

It was folded up on a table in the house.

Why didn't you tell me about this place?

I promised I'd keep it secret.

I didn't know she was dead.

Right ... and when her body turned up?

I couldn't remember what had happened.

I knew I'd be blamed.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Stop pulling this 'I can't remember' bullshit on me.

I was found up here when Gillian disappeared.

What?

Lofty found me here.

Dad arrested him to cover.

Cover for who?

Look at the way Dutch accused me.

Fergus, even my own father thinks I killed Gillian.

- Fergus ... - Shut up, Anna. Just shut the fuck up!

I have to call this in. Did you touch anything?

Just the car. - Jesus

There were sleeping bags in the house.

Five or six of them.

Think someone was living there - Right

And you never thought to report that either

McFadden to Base.

Ah, go ahead.

Yeah, I'm up at the old Sulliva ...

Hang on a sec ... Anna?

Anna!

Mum

Mum

What are you ... mum

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl,

With apple blossom in her hair

Mum

Who called me by my name and ran,

And faded through the brightening air.

Holy shit!

What's going on?

What's your mother doing here?

Fergus, I have to get her back.

She's lost a lot of blood.

I have to stay here, you take her to the hospital.

I don't know where my car is.

How did you get here?

Are you leaving a crime scene?

What's she doing here?

Who's that?

It's my mother.

Anna was just looking for her mum. She found her wandering.

I have to get her to a hospital.

Here

Bring it back to the station.

Fergus, fill me in.

Forensics are on the way to the piggery, to check on the blood.

What is this place, who owns it?

That's the old Sullivan place, but the Graysons, they

brought it a few years back.

Is there anyone in this town who isn't a fucking Sullivan or a Grayson?

Me

And what a rare creature you are, Fergus.

What was Anna doing here with her mother?

Honesty I don't know.

- Lofty's a Sullivan, isn't he? - Yeah

But he'd have no reason to hurt Chloe.

Why would anyone have a reason, Fergus?

You fucking bitch.

Two things I discovered, that you missed.

The Ute went into the dam after it was drained;

the paperwork's dry.

And second,

it was Chloe that was tipping off the Greens about the logger's plans.

Get fingerprints to scan it.

We've got a few different Tyre marks around the piggery.

Some fairly fresh that don't match Chloe's Ute.

Check every logger's tyres, including Max Holloway.

Speaking of Tyre marks,
