01x12 - Nursing Home

[bunniefuu]

(dramatic instrumental music)

- [Cameron] Sometimes, you just wanna have sex.

- You slept with a psychopath, you know that?

(scoffs)

- Are you putting the moves on Madeline (laughs)?

- I put on the moves.

- [Man] You think it's true love?

- What would I know about true love?

- You asked her out a date yesterday, didn't you?

(soft instrumental music)

- [Sharon] I'm sending you to a police psychiatrist.

- It appears to be making you hostile.

- No, hostile is when I tell you to take that report

and that pen that you're writing with,

and I tell you to shove them both up your ass.

Now that would be hostile.

- We're considering you for a junior partnership.

- You don't really know me at all, do you?

- I'm beginning to know Madeline.

- Keep tomorrow night free, okay?

(dramatic instrumental music)

- First the cuffs, then the collar.

Start from the pointy ends, iron in.

(phone rings)

- [Madeline] Hi, it's Mads...Madeline.

You there?

Pick up the phone.

I've gotta bail on dinner.

I'm sorry, I've gotta work.

I'm really sorry, I was so looking forward to it.

I really wanted to see you, Eddie.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe later in the week,

or I'll ring you, okay?

Bye.

(machine beeps)

- I don't know, why does anyone go to a nightclub?

Dance, have a good time, get off your face.

- [Psychiatrist] And do you have a good time?

- I get off my face.

- What do you think about loneliness?

(scoffs)

Do you think that this casual sex could

be having an effect on your work?

Do you think you're a good police officer?

- I love my work.

You know, we're all alone.

(soft jazz music)

- [Eddie Voiceover] Patch that collar, you do the yoke.

And the buttonholes.

(soft jazz music)

(intense soft rock music)

- He's dead.

(car horn blares)

He's dead.

He's dead.

Please, please.

I k*lled him.

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead.

- I know, you've told me.

Can you just go on right there.

- Voila! He's in Davis Manor.

- Nursing home.

Keeps on raving about they k*lled someone.

- [Cameron] No, she doesn't.

She said they k*lled him.

- [Guido] What's the difference?

- Well him could be a dog.

Someone is someone.

- So what, we gotta take her back now?

- [Cameron] Definitely.

(clears throat)

- Hello.

You're looking good, all things considered.

- All what things?

- Late night, lack of sleep.

Long night, was it?

Madeline.

- No, she canceled.

- Oh, right.

- [Eddie] Yeah, she had to work.

- Yep, bummer.

I was in bed before she got home.

(phone rings)

- Eddie Mercia.

Yes, mm-hmm.

Right, okay, yeah.

Crime scene examiner is on his way.

All right, got that, thanks.

Suspicious death.

Guido.

- Yep?

- What's the name of the nursing

home you're taking that woman to?

- Step here.

Okay, I've got you.

- [Elderly Man] Good day, mate.

How you going, mate?

- Hi, Louis Coleman.

He appears to have choked to death on his own vomit.

My guess is about , last night; that sort of vicinity.

- Stroke victim?

- Yeah, about six months ago, apparently.

Head nurse found him when she was doing her rounds.

Rang it in about : AM.

Noticed these pills in his vomit

and regarded the death as suspicious.

- [Head Nurse]] Of course su1c1de happens.

Not often; it's quite rare.

- Margaret, the oldie we brought in.

- Margaret McKenzie.

- Yeah, she kept saying, kept

going on about someone k*lled him?

- Probably heard Louis was dead.

Fell off the deep end.

Dementia can do that.

- You think he k*lled himself?

- Yes, sadly.

- Probably couldn't cope with the boredom.

If it was su1c1de, how'd he get the dr*gs?

Doesn't seem like he's too mobile, does it?

- He didn't get them from here.

Somebody must have given them to him;

must have brought them in.

- He's lying down.

Right hands good, the left hand is crippled.

- Yeah, so the glass is on the wrong side.

- Exactly, he couldn't have reach it.

I don't know what we're dealing with here,

but it's definitely not su1c1de.

Someone was holding that class,

and they didn't just give him the pills,

they fed them to him.

How many residents you reckon on this floor?

- [Guido] Too many.

- Who?

Hey, just calm down.

Calm down.

Okay, okay!

Okay, okay, I'll come straight down.

- Friend?

- Old school friend.

Sorry, bit of emergency.

I shouldn't be long.

- You said they k*lled him, Margaret.

Do you remember that?

When the police officers found you?

- [Margaret] We used to go dancing.

- You an Louis?

- ♪ Goodnight, sweetheart. ♪

♪'Til we meet tomorrow. ♪

♪Goodnight, sweetheart. ♪

♪'Til we meet tomorrow. ♪

- My gran used to sing that song.

- It was always the last song.

- Who k*lled him Margaret?

- He said he'd marry me.

(soft instrumental music)

- Teddy?

- Sorry, I think you've got the wrong person.

(soft instrumental music)

- Oh, Cams, this whole thing is one giant mistake.

Idiot man, I told him I'd pay for it.

It's not like I don't have the money.

- Hello, Cameron.

Thank you very much for coming.

- I don't know, this place is hardly conducive to manners.

How do you bear working here?

It's smells!

(laughs)

- Smells fine out here.

- Are you going to be like that?

You've gotta help me.

- There's not a lot I can do.

- The whole things a big joke, if it wasn't so awful.

You're the only police person I know.

- Police woman, detective.

I gather this bracelet was quite valuable.

- I didn't steal it.

(sighs)

Damn it.

- Well I'm sure then, it's just a giant misunderstanding.

Why don't you just call your father?

He'll bring a lawyer, talk the Sheriff.

- I can't bring Dad, David will find out.

- You're still together?

- Yeah, aren't I lucky?

Clever me (laughs).

I don't want Daddy finding out.

We're getting married on Sunday.

I can't do this, Cam, it's not fair.

(laughs)

- You really are a piece of work.

There is nothing I can do, okay?

You are going to be charged.

I can't bend the rules, and I don't want to, either.

- Then why did you come?

- Because I thought you might need my support.

- Well, tell them it was a mistake.

I didn't mean to do it.

Cam?

- I can get you listed under your initials.

- Are you just gonna leave me here?

- Congratulations.

(car horn honks)

- Can you give these to Madeline for me?

- Cigarettes?

- Not the cigarettes, the flowers.

- Why don't you give them to her yourself?

- [Eddie] Don't be gassing me.

(soft instrumental music)

- Are you ashamed of me?

- No.

(clears throat)

You still smoke these?

- Don't look so scared.

I'm not gonna eat you.

All grown up.

I like a man in suit.

- How long have been here for?

- Two years.

- Couldn't you--.

Didn't you have a sister in Pymble?

- She's dead; they're all dead or moved.

Jack at the corner store, he's dead and gone.

Took three days to find him.

He d*ed in the back of the shop.

Just you and me left, Teddy.

- I left Gamble Street long time ago, Grace.

It's all behind me now.

- Nobody ever leaves anywhere.

Always stays with us.

You should know that.

(soft instrumental music)

- Flowers are for you.

- Flowers from Eddie, huh?

Very sweet.

- They could be from Donna, for all I know.

- From what fruit shop he got them from.

(snickers)

(cabinets slam)

- You should probably go.

- Really?

- Yep.

- Well then, good-bye.

(laughs)

Bye, Donna.

- You could have waited to give me the flowers.

There are ways to handle these sort of situations!

- Oh, yeah?

What situation is that?

- He's married.

It doesn't mean anything.

- Why don't you tell that to Eddie, then?

And while you're at it, why don't you tell his wife, too?

- Do you think she doesn't know?

(soft jazz music)

- It's none of your business what I'm doing here.

Just call her up and let her know that I'm here, please.

Oh, Cams!

That journalist has been ringing me.

- What do you expect me to do about it?

- I want you to tell them that it's not true!

- It'll only make matters worse, Kimberly.

- [Kimberly] But I don't know what to do.

- Tell David.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- No, I can't!

- He'll stand by you.

- How would you know?

- Because that's the sort of person he is, okay?

If you don't know that, then you don't know him at all.

- So, who's David?

- Love of my life.

- She stole him off you?

- It's what she does.

She's a thief.

- The pills in the vomit were ID'd as tryptanol.

There was a small amount of alcohol in the stomach contents.

But the deceased was on various medications,

and the alcohol was contraindicated, so we can assume

that the nursing staff didn't give it to him.

- Dutch courage.

- Who's he?

- Was there any alcohol in the room?

Did you find a bottle?

- No.

- Well, that's the first thing.

Where'd he get the booze?

- You know, the only time they ever came

to see Louis was when they wanted something.

That daughter is a bloody little cow, she's lazy.

Louis earned a place in (mumbles).

He was dying to get his hands on it.

They didn't even bring the grandchildren in.

He loved those kids, didn't he?

He loved him, too, God knows why.

- I'll take that, thanks.

No starch, hey Grace?

- Ted, do you ever think about your father?

(intense instrumental music)

- Sorry.

Eddie?

Eddie?

(soft instrumental music)

- It was just him and his dad.

The mother walked out on them.

How she beggared off to Melbourne with some bloke.

(soft instrumental music)

I've never told anyone, but that bloody mother,

she knew what had happened; she didn't do a thing.

Well, she paid the rent, that was it.

Teddy was on his own in that place.

I mean, he brought himself up.

He cooked and cleaned, everything.

Do you even sent notes from his mother to the school?

Please excuse Teddy, that sort of thing.

He was a kid, a baby, .

He was scared that the welfare would come and take him.

That was our secret.

(soft instrumental music)

(knocks at door)

- [Donna] I know you're in there.

Eddie!

Eddie, open the door.

It's Donna.

(knocks at door)

Eddie!

- I'm not in the mood, okay?

Just leave.

- No, I'm worried about you.

- Just go.

- Eddie.

- Just go, please.

Please, just leave.

(soft jazz music)

(knocks at door)

- He saw it in the paper.

- It's one o'clock in the morning.

- He doesn't wanna marry me.

(sobs)

Cams.

- I don't care, Kimberly.

I've been thinking about it all day, and I don't care.

I don't give a sh*t about your marriage

and I don't give a sh*t about you.

- One itsy bitsy on page something or other

and some Navy Duck rings him about it.

God, I need a drink.

What have you got to drink?

- Did you hear what I just said?

- Yes, you're cross and grumpy.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

- I'm not cross.

- You seem cross.

- Kimberly, get out!

- Cams, don't be--.

- Don't bloody Cams me!

Don't Cams me.

- It's about David, isn't it?

- Yes, it's about David.

- It was just a misunderstanding.

- What's to misunderstand?

I walked in and you were sitting on his face!

- Have a drink.

- I don't want a freaking drink.

We'd been together for three years.

I loved him.

You knew I loved him!

- No, I didn't Cams, no I didn't.

No one ever knows with you.

- That's bullshit.

That's bullshit.

- He's not gonna cancel the wedding

over a shoplifting charge.

- No, not because of that, because I didn't tell him.

He said that if I didn't tell him about this,

then what about when something really bad happens,

why wouldn't tell him--.

What would I do then?

Why does he think like that?

Why does he think about bad things happening?

- Because that's life, they do.

- [Kimberly] Yeah, but you don't have to think about them.

- Why did you do it?

Huh?

David, why?

- Because he was so cute.

Because you were away.

Because I wanted to see if I could,

- Get off my bed.

- What?

- You're sitting on my bed.

I don't want you sitting on my bed.

Get off my bed.

- Hey.

Cam, Cam, stop.

Cam, what are you doing?

- Get off my bed, stupid!

- Cameron, you're hurting me!

- You're a thief, Kim.

You were my best friend.

- You know, David's only ever been with two girls?

You and me.

Did you teach him?

(laughs)

It's so good.

So good.

Aww, Ki-Ki-Ki-Kimmy.

Ki-Ki-Kimmy.

- Oh God you're kidding.

- No (laughs).

- He doesn't?

- He does.

What?

- Ca-Ca-Cammy.

- No!

Really?

(laughs)

- Oh my God!

(grunts)

- Cammy!

- Kimmy!

(grunts)

(laughs)

- You're a stupid bitch.

I didn't just lose David, you know.

I lost you.

- [Kimberly] He's a lieutenant commander.

- He's got a ship!

- Yep, he'll probably end up an admirable.

(mumbles)

(laughs)

I'll never be able to drive.

- I'll call you a taxi.

- No, no, can't I stay?

Please?

I'm dead; honestly, I can't move, Cam.

Please?

Come on, sleepover.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

- The only time you ever said

sorry is when you wanted something.

- I want David back.

Make him change his mind, Cam.

He'll listen to you.

Tell him I'm sorry.

Tell I just made a mistake.

Please, Cam?

- Why didn't I throw her out?

What's wrong with me?

- Did you have a good time?

- No.

- [Psychiatrist] Did you have a bad time?

- No.

- Do you think you did the right thing not throwing her out?

Sometimes we need closure, maybe

that's what you were working toward.

- (scoffs) No, closure would be

taking out Glock and sh**ting her.

(chuckles)

- [Psychiatrist] Tell me about David.

- There's nothing to tell.

- Three years is the only long-term relationship that

you have ever had, and there is nothing to tell?

- There's nothing to tell; there's no point.

- What are you doing here?

- I had a client, so I thought I'd come and say hi.

- Don't play games with him, Madeline.

He's the wrong person.

- What are you, his mom now?

- No, I'm his partner and I'm his friend.

- Good for you.

(soft jazz music)

- Hi.

- Hey, were they okay?

- Yeah, they were great.

- Well you know, they were just--.

Don't worry about it.

(soft jazz music)

- Can I help you?

- Detective Cameron Smart.

- [Receptionist] Um, there.

- Hi.

- It's good to see you.

It's great.

- I saw Kimberly.

- She told me.

The wedding's back on.

- So?

- I tried calling you for months.

You hung up on me.

You never answered.

- What do you expect?

- Didn't give me a chance.

- You know I always used to wonder if I hadn't

walked in on you, would you have told me?

I used to wonder how long it had been going on.

I used to wonder how long you'd

been screwing her, and screwing me.

- What do you mean?

It was one.

One time, once.

- So, I hear you're doing well, Lieutenant Commander.

- How are you doing?

- Good, great.

It's a great job.

- [David] You got anyone?

- A man, you mean?

Yeah, um he's great.

He's on the force.

Which is cool 'cause he understands it all.

He's great.

- I never stopped loving you.

- [Eddie] What do think of the old neighborhood;

what they've done to it?

- [Grace] It's too flashy for me.

Sold the pub five years ago.

Do you remember when your dad worked there?

- He didn't work there, he lived there, practically.

- Your dad, Nino, everyone.

That little Yugoslav, what was his name?

- Dragon.

- [Grace] He used to run the footie pool.

Ah, your dad, everybody loved him.

He was such a joker (laughs).

- You gave them the pills, didn't you, Grace?

It's m*rder, Grace.

It's m*rder.

- No, it isn't, Teddy.

It wasn't m*rder, he wanted to die.

He told me so, often.

Poor old bugger, he couldn't do it on his own.

I held his hand and I squeezed it

to let him know that I was there.

I didn't want him to think he was alone.

(exhales)

(soft instrumental music)

- (clears throat) What are you doing?

(soft instrumental music)

Yeah, I know, Grace told me.

She's gonna make a statement.

- Yeah, I'm not talking about that.

Who are those for?

- You need of them.

I've been saving up six weeks.

I've had enough.

- No, you're not thinking straight.

- I'm old, Teddy.

I'm sick and I'm bored.

It takes me half an hour to walk steps.

If I was a horse, I'd of been put down years ago.

(soft instrumental music)

I'm dying, Teddy.

(soft instrumental music)

- She did say all sorts of things.

- Did you ask if she wanted a lawyer present?

Obviously not, I warrant.

- [Eddie Voiceover] Trust is a funny thing.

It's more intimate than any relationship that you know.

- A sh*t of a life.

If I'd been his friend, I probably

would have done the same thing.

- [Sharon] I take it one of them made an admission?

- [Guido] It wasn't like there was any sort

of malicious intent or anything.

- [Sharon] But if one of them has made an admission,

we haven't got a lot of choice.

- Margaret would never fess up.

- No, it's early stage dementia.

It wouldn't hold up in court.

- What's the other one like mentally?

- Can I have a word to you about that?

- Grace has--.

She's said certain things to me.

But I've known Grace for years.

She used to live next door to me as a kid.

- So you have a relationship with her?

- Neighbors, ex-neighbors.

Anyway, she's prone to rambling.

- How prone?

- I wouldn't put much credence in anything that she says.

- Are you saying that she's unreliable?

- Very unreliable.

- Is that it?

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, you'd better put that in the coroner's report.

You know how to write a coroner's report, don't you?

(soft instrumental music)

- [Eddie Voiceover] Who do you trust?

How do you know they're the right person?

(soft instrumental music)

- Are you gonna tell me what happened with Kostas or not?

- [Eddie Voiceover] Who do you tell your secrets to?

- Good day, Rob.

Hang on.

Rob?

What's his problem?

- [Donna] Let's go.

- You see that?

What was that about?

- His girlfriend's falling in love with you.

(laughs)

(soft piano music)

- How long have you known about this?

How stupid am I?

- You're not stupid.

(intense electronic music)

- No, maybe take it up a half a centimeter.

Just a tad.

Okay, so you'll come one, two, three in order.

First, there'll be Adriana, then Taffy, then you!

(knocks at door)

Don't move!

Don't move, I'll get it.

(upbeat electronic music)

- You must be the gorgeous--.

Wow, you are gorgeous.

The gorgeous Kimberly.

(laughs)

Oh, wow.

You are--.

Isn't she gorgeous?

You are (groans).

- This is, this--.

- Guido.

(exclaims) Stunner!

- Are you two going out?

- Well, yes.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Why didn't you tell me?

This is great!

(laughs)

Here, have a drink!

- Hey, Donna told me she spoke to you.

I wanted to tell you myself.

I was gonna end it with Rob first.

- Now you don't need to.

You got it, you little genius!

The formula works.

You loved me, though.

Didn't you, Grace?

Whatever you wanna do, you just let me know.

Okay?

I'll be there for you.

Okay?
