1
00:00:51,098 --> 00:00:53,034
You running away?

2
00:00:53,058 --> 00:00:54,698
I've got a family thing.

3
00:00:57,058 --> 00:00:58,914
Are you panicking about last night?

4
00:00:58,938 --> 00:01:00,698
I mean...

5
00:01:01,938 --> 00:01:05,474
you've always been this...
person above me, so it's...

6
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:06,978
strange.

7
00:01:10,538 --> 00:01:12,098
Like, too strange?

8
00:01:13,458 --> 00:01:15,138
No.

9
00:01:20,938 --> 00:01:22,898
So, how are we gonna leave it?

10
00:01:28,258 --> 00:01:30,954
I guess... go back to work,

11
00:01:30,978 --> 00:01:32,738
like we always go to work.

12
00:01:33,898 --> 00:01:35,378
And then, um...

13
00:01:36,618 --> 00:01:38,354
next weekend, we could...

14
00:01:38,378 --> 00:01:39,938
go on a date.

15
00:01:41,098 --> 00:01:42,738
Start dating.

16
00:01:48,538 --> 00:01:50,138
Saturday?

17
00:01:51,138 --> 00:01:52,578
Friday.

18
00:02:46,258 --> 00:02:47,554
Hello.

19
00:02:47,578 --> 00:02:49,674
You certainly know
how to surprise me, don't you?

20
00:02:49,698 --> 00:02:50,675
Hi, Mum.

21
00:02:50,699 --> 00:02:52,594
You haven't seen the paper?
No.

22
00:02:52,618 --> 00:02:57,314
You are in the social pages,
in The Sun, with Helen Norville.

23
00:02:57,338 --> 00:03:00,634
I've been getting calls all morning.
Your uncle, Gwen.

24
00:03:00,658 --> 00:03:04,114
I've been telling them, "Don't ask
me. He never tells me anything."

25
00:03:04,138 --> 00:03:07,554
You didn't tell me you were
going to Geoff Walters' party.

26
00:03:07,578 --> 00:03:10,394
Oh, it was just
a work function thing.

27
00:03:10,418 --> 00:03:12,594
The paper calls you her new man.

28
00:03:12,618 --> 00:03:14,674
Are you gonna tell me anything?

29
00:03:14,698 --> 00:03:17,474
Um... she just asked me
to go as her date, that's all.

30
00:03:17,498 --> 00:03:20,674
Alright. One more question.

31
00:03:20,698 --> 00:03:23,874
Is she as glamorous in real life
as she is on the television?

32
00:03:23,898 --> 00:03:26,458
Ah... Mum, I've gotta go.

33
00:03:50,218 --> 00:03:51,834
Good morning.

34
00:03:51,858 --> 00:03:54,474
Hello, sailor!
Hello.

35
00:03:54,498 --> 00:03:56,434
The quiet achiever.

36
00:03:56,458 --> 00:03:58,314
Good weekend?

37
00:03:58,338 --> 00:03:59,834
It was fine, thanks.

38
00:03:59,858 --> 00:04:01,298
A little bit better than fine.

39
00:04:02,298 --> 00:04:03,594
Dale?
Yes?

40
00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:05,794
Dale!
Yes?

41
00:04:05,818 --> 00:04:07,474
What have you got?
What?

42
00:04:07,498 --> 00:04:09,154
Show me. Now.
You haven't heard?

43
00:04:09,178 --> 00:04:10,634
What?
Lindy Chamberlain.

44
00:04:10,658 --> 00:04:13,354
They found new evidence. They say
she could be released from prison.

45
00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:14,634
What?

46
00:04:14,658 --> 00:04:17,074
A baby's cardigan
has been discovered at Ayers Rock,

47
00:04:17,098 --> 00:04:19,434
and it may provide
significant new evidence

48
00:04:19,458 --> 00:04:21,474
in the case of Azaria Chamberlain.

49
00:04:21,498 --> 00:04:23,314
The cardigan, or matinee jacket,

50
00:04:23,338 --> 00:04:26,434
was found by police during a search
for a tourist who disappeared...

51
00:04:26,458 --> 00:04:28,474
Darling?
What is it?

52
00:04:28,498 --> 00:04:30,954
Suggest
that the jacket matches...

53
00:04:30,978 --> 00:04:33,314
They found a jacket
at Ayers Rock -

54
00:04:33,338 --> 00:04:37,314
a baby's jacket just near
where Azaria Chamberlain was taken.

55
00:04:37,338 --> 00:04:38,954
I thought they already
found the jacket?

56
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:40,914
They found the jumpsuit,
not the jacket.

57
00:04:40,938 --> 00:04:44,354
The prosecution successfully argued
that the jumpsuit was too clean -

58
00:04:44,378 --> 00:04:46,714
that it didn't have enough blood
on it for a dingo attack.

59
00:04:46,738 --> 00:04:48,394
But Lindy Chamberlain always said

60
00:04:48,418 --> 00:04:50,954
that Azaria was wearing
a jacket over it -

61
00:04:50,978 --> 00:04:52,554
a white Marquis matinee jacket.

62
00:04:52,578 --> 00:04:55,194
So, if this is the jacket,
if it's the actual jacket,

63
00:04:55,218 --> 00:04:57,074
then it's proof.
Proof of what?

64
00:04:57,098 --> 00:04:58,354
That she was never lying.

65
00:04:58,378 --> 00:04:59,514
Now...

66
00:04:59,538 --> 00:05:01,234
It should be in here somewhere.

67
00:05:01,258 --> 00:05:03,434
Alright.
Uh, what's his name again?

68
00:05:03,458 --> 00:05:05,834
Stuart... uh, Tipple, I think.

69
00:05:05,858 --> 00:05:10,954
Although he might be listed
as Lindy Chamberlain's lawyer.

70
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,898
Uh, should have both his home
and office number.

71
00:05:15,978 --> 00:05:17,434
What are the chances?

72
00:05:17,458 --> 00:05:19,354
New evidence... at this stage?

73
00:05:19,378 --> 00:05:21,954
150 yards from the camp site.

74
00:05:21,978 --> 00:05:25,354
That area was searched and searched.

75
00:05:25,378 --> 00:05:28,554
Well, whether it's legitimate
or not is not the point.

76
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:31,554
This was your signature story.

77
00:05:31,578 --> 00:05:38,114
Everyone remembers you reporting
from the Rock in your safari suit.

78
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:40,657
Oh! Stuart Tipple!

79
00:05:41,978 --> 00:05:43,618
That's why I love you.

80
00:05:45,578 --> 00:05:48,618
OK. Right. OK.

81
00:05:54,218 --> 00:05:56,418
Damn it. Engaged.

82
00:06:00,138 --> 00:06:02,234
Hey, so, do we have
any footage from the Rock yet?

83
00:06:02,258 --> 00:06:03,314
It's coming.

84
00:06:03,338 --> 00:06:05,954
It'll be the first half of
the bulletin. At least four stories.

85
00:06:05,978 --> 00:06:07,434
All the tapes from the trial.

86
00:06:07,458 --> 00:06:09,594
We'll need the one
from the inquest as well.

87
00:06:09,618 --> 00:06:12,154
OK. So, how long
has she been in jail?

88
00:06:12,178 --> 00:06:14,554
Has it been two years?
Over three.

89
00:06:14,578 --> 00:06:16,274
So, do you think she's gonna
get released?

90
00:06:16,298 --> 00:06:19,114
If the jacket holds up, then, yeah.
She could walk free this week.

91
00:06:19,138 --> 00:06:20,514
So, will she have to
go back to court?

92
00:06:20,538 --> 00:06:22,074
Well...

93
00:06:22,098 --> 00:06:23,754
I felt the magic.

94
00:06:23,778 --> 00:06:26,074
On my hand.

95
00:06:26,098 --> 00:06:28,378
Five, four...

96
00:06:30,618 --> 00:06:33,954
The discovery of a child's
matinee jacket near Ayers Rock

97
00:06:33,978 --> 00:06:37,114
has shed new light on the
disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain

98
00:06:37,138 --> 00:06:38,794
in 1980.

99
00:06:38,818 --> 00:06:40,954
Good evening.
Welcome to News at Six.

100
00:06:40,978 --> 00:06:42,754
The white Marquis matinee jacket

101
00:06:42,778 --> 00:06:44,834
was found during a search
for a hiker

102
00:06:44,858 --> 00:06:46,674
who fell from the Rock on Sunday.

103
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,314
Three years into
Lindy Chamberlain's

104
00:06:48,338 --> 00:06:49,914
life sentence for murder,

105
00:06:49,938 --> 00:06:53,594
the bombshell discovery could prove
a new turning point in the case.

106
00:06:53,618 --> 00:06:55,194
I could only see the dingo

107
00:06:55,218 --> 00:06:57,314
from sort of
the top of the shoulders, up.

108
00:06:57,338 --> 00:06:59,778
But he came out
in such a hurry, I...

109
00:07:00,898 --> 00:07:02,834
thought,
"There's no food in there.

110
00:07:02,858 --> 00:07:06,194
"But he just might have...
damaged or mauled the baby."

111
00:07:06,218 --> 00:07:07,954
For six years,
Lindy Chamberlain

112
00:07:07,978 --> 00:07:12,114
has maintained that a dingo took
her baby from Ayers Rock campground.

113
00:07:12,138 --> 00:07:16,434
Yesterday's discovery of Azaria's
matinee jacket backs up that claim.

114
00:07:16,458 --> 00:07:18,474
If the garment
is confirmed to be Azaria's,

115
00:07:18,498 --> 00:07:21,074
it may well be a breakthrough
in Mrs Chamberlain's effort

116
00:07:21,098 --> 00:07:23,114
to prove that she did not murder
the child,

117
00:07:23,138 --> 00:07:25,394
and that Azaria was taken
by a dingo.

118
00:07:25,418 --> 00:07:28,034
The jacket was found
on the south-west side of the Rock

119
00:07:28,058 --> 00:07:30,354
during the search for the body
of an Englishman

120
00:07:30,378 --> 00:07:31,954
who apparently fell to his death

121
00:07:31,978 --> 00:07:34,618
while climbing in a dangerous
and secluded area.

122
00:07:39,458 --> 00:07:41,018
Hi.

123
00:07:42,738 --> 00:07:44,514
Hi, Cathy.

124
00:07:44,538 --> 00:07:46,634
I was...

125
00:07:46,658 --> 00:07:48,538
wondering if we could... talk.

126
00:07:50,098 --> 00:07:51,538
What about?

127
00:07:52,658 --> 00:07:54,674
You need to know
that Dad... Dad's sick.

128
00:07:54,698 --> 00:07:56,418
He's very sick.

129
00:07:58,218 --> 00:08:00,458
With what?
Uh, cancer.

130
00:08:01,578 --> 00:08:03,074
Mum doesn't know I'm here. I just...

131
00:08:03,098 --> 00:08:04,474
How... how long has...?

132
00:08:04,498 --> 00:08:07,034
Uh, he was first diagnosed
eight months ago.

133
00:08:07,058 --> 00:08:10,818
Um, he's been in hospital
for the last few weeks, but, um...

134
00:08:12,378 --> 00:08:14,114
Mum's decided to bring him home,

135
00:08:14,138 --> 00:08:17,098
and we think it's, um,
probably for the last time.

136
00:08:24,098 --> 00:08:26,337
Thank you.
Thanks for telling me, Cathy.

137
00:08:28,378 --> 00:08:30,434
The whole family's coming down
now, Lanie.

138
00:08:30,458 --> 00:08:31,874
The Norvilles, the Kazics.

139
00:08:31,898 --> 00:08:34,618
It would really... it would mean
a lot if you would come and see him.

140
00:08:35,138 --> 00:08:36,794
Look, I know you still blame him
for everything,

141
00:08:36,818 --> 00:08:39,354
but everything he did was because
he was told it would help.

142
00:08:39,378 --> 00:08:41,858
He hated leaving you
in that place.

143
00:08:44,898 --> 00:08:46,794
He watches you, you know.

144
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:49,394
Every night, six o'clock,
without fail, the news goes on.

145
00:08:49,418 --> 00:08:51,098
He watches
every single second of it.

146
00:08:52,218 --> 00:08:54,737
He loves you.

147
00:09:32,898 --> 00:09:35,818
You're the first here,
if you would like to take a seat.

148
00:09:38,218 --> 00:09:39,738
No, no, look, here, sit next to me.

149
00:09:47,658 --> 00:09:50,794
So, Jean said lunch meetings
usually mean firing or promotion.

150
00:09:50,818 --> 00:09:52,394
Oh, it's not either of those things

151
00:09:52,418 --> 00:09:54,178
or they wouldn't have
asked both of us.

152
00:09:56,298 --> 00:09:57,914
You ordered the grog?

153
00:09:57,938 --> 00:09:59,474
No.
Typical.

154
00:09:59,498 --> 00:10:00,794
Paolo?

155
00:10:00,818 --> 00:10:03,394
Now, listen to me.

156
00:10:03,418 --> 00:10:05,394
I want the details
of this conversation

157
00:10:05,418 --> 00:10:07,234
to remain strictly between us.

158
00:10:07,258 --> 00:10:08,954
Yep.
Lindy Chamberlain.

159
00:10:08,978 --> 00:10:11,074
You'd be a bit of an expert, there,
wouldn't you, young Dale?

160
00:10:11,098 --> 00:10:13,314
Well, I wouldn't say I'm an expert.
I bet you wouldn't.

161
00:10:13,338 --> 00:10:16,114
But she's gonna walk free, right?
When's that gonna happen? Next week?

162
00:10:16,138 --> 00:10:18,394
I think it could even be
before the weekend.

163
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:19,474
Yeah.

164
00:10:19,498 --> 00:10:22,394
Upstairs, they reckon the first
interview with Lindy Chamberlain

165
00:10:22,418 --> 00:10:24,058
is gonna rate four million.

166
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,954
It's the story of the decade.

167
00:10:26,978 --> 00:10:31,514
Traditionally, this has been
Geoff's story.

168
00:10:31,538 --> 00:10:33,514
But they...

169
00:10:33,538 --> 00:10:35,354
they want it to go to you.

170
00:10:35,378 --> 00:10:38,194
Now, I don't necessarily
concur with this decision

171
00:10:38,218 --> 00:10:40,354
because upstairs have no idea
about your dramas.

172
00:10:40,378 --> 00:10:41,834
There won't be any dramas.

173
00:10:41,858 --> 00:10:44,338
If I give this to you, you two...

174
00:10:45,498 --> 00:10:47,354
you're gonna get that interview.
Yes.

175
00:10:47,378 --> 00:10:49,354
How?
We start with Lindy's solicitor.

176
00:10:49,378 --> 00:10:50,874
Stuart Tipple.
Yeah?

177
00:10:50,898 --> 00:10:53,594
Well, great, Dale. But we rang him.
No reply.

178
00:10:53,618 --> 00:10:55,474
He must already be in Darwin.

179
00:10:55,498 --> 00:10:56,954
You get us to Darwin,

180
00:10:56,978 --> 00:10:59,834
I'll make sure that I am the first
person that Lindy Chamberlain sees

181
00:10:59,858 --> 00:11:01,194
when she walks free.

182
00:11:01,218 --> 00:11:02,834
We will camp outside the prison,

183
00:11:02,858 --> 00:11:04,794
we'll then track her back to her home
in, um...

184
00:11:04,818 --> 00:11:06,234
Mount Isa.

185
00:11:06,258 --> 00:11:08,778
I can call Jean now -
get her onto flights.

186
00:11:11,618 --> 00:11:13,298
There's one other thing...

187
00:11:15,298 --> 00:11:18,834
for you to know,
just you two, no-one else.

188
00:11:18,858 --> 00:11:21,074
Certainly not Geoff.

189
00:11:21,098 --> 00:11:23,418
Upstairs are prepared...

190
00:11:25,538 --> 00:11:28,178
to offer the Chamberlains
up to 100 grand.

191
00:11:29,178 --> 00:11:30,594
For the interview?
Yeah.

192
00:11:30,618 --> 00:11:31,954
As a fallback option?

193
00:11:31,978 --> 00:11:33,778
Do you have a problem with that,
young Dale?

194
00:11:34,858 --> 00:11:36,234
Have we done that before?
No.

195
00:11:36,258 --> 00:11:38,138
But they're willing to, for this.

196
00:11:40,658 --> 00:11:44,938
This interview will make you
the face of News at Six.

197
00:11:48,778 --> 00:11:51,354
Has Lindy Chamberlain
ever been interviewed by a woman?

198
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:52,578
Not sure.

199
00:11:53,818 --> 00:11:56,714
The amount they're paying,
this is gonna be more than a story.

200
00:11:56,738 --> 00:11:58,714
This is gonna be, like,
a Sunday night special.

201
00:11:58,738 --> 00:12:00,794
Probably.
Like, maybe even a two-parter.

202
00:12:00,818 --> 00:12:03,234
And then if I can build
a relationship with her,

203
00:12:03,258 --> 00:12:06,154
I can follow up
with her first Christmas at home,

204
00:12:06,178 --> 00:12:07,794
first school drop-off.

205
00:12:07,818 --> 00:12:09,674
You sure it's a good idea,
camping out in Darwin?

206
00:12:09,698 --> 00:12:12,274
Yeah. We need to be
as close as we can to them.

207
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:13,594
I think the bigger question

208
00:12:13,618 --> 00:12:15,674
is what are you gonna do
for our Friday night date?

209
00:12:15,698 --> 00:12:18,834
I guess I'll just
have to get creative.

210
00:12:18,858 --> 00:12:21,074
You certainly will.

211
00:12:21,098 --> 00:12:23,914
Flight details and hotel details.

212
00:12:23,938 --> 00:12:26,074
You'll have to pick up the tickets
at the Ansett desk.

213
00:12:26,098 --> 00:12:27,194
Oh? OK.

214
00:12:27,218 --> 00:12:29,394
And, uh, could you please
confirm with me when you arrive?

215
00:12:29,418 --> 00:12:30,594
Of course.

216
00:12:30,618 --> 00:12:31,874
You packed your swimmers?

217
00:12:31,898 --> 00:12:33,394
Sorry?

218
00:12:33,418 --> 00:12:35,674
Uh, I'm... I'm coming to Darwin.

219
00:12:35,698 --> 00:12:37,218
Yeah.

220
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:40,674
I thought we'd pick up a local crew.
Oh, no, no, no.

221
00:12:40,698 --> 00:12:41,954
I covered Darwin for a year.

222
00:12:41,978 --> 00:12:45,234
'81, '82. Did the... the trial,
the sentencing.

223
00:12:45,258 --> 00:12:46,874
I know it like the back of my hand.

224
00:12:46,898 --> 00:12:48,217
Great.

225
00:12:49,618 --> 00:12:51,618
I hear I'll be travelling
with a brand-new couple.

226
00:12:55,698 --> 00:12:57,058
I guess that saves on hotel rooms.

227
00:12:58,098 --> 00:12:59,538
Thank you.

228
00:13:01,298 --> 00:13:02,954
We've booked separate rooms
for you and Helen,

229
00:13:02,978 --> 00:13:04,114
but if you'd prefer...

230
00:13:04,138 --> 00:13:06,138
No, separate's fine.
Thank you, Jean.

231
00:13:14,578 --> 00:13:16,418
Dale? Got a minute?

232
00:13:17,818 --> 00:13:18,858
Yeah.

233
00:13:23,578 --> 00:13:25,897
Come in, come in, sit.

234
00:13:27,578 --> 00:13:29,554
So, Dale...

235
00:13:29,578 --> 00:13:35,154
I gather you're headed
to Berrimah prison with Helen?

236
00:13:35,178 --> 00:13:36,434
Yeah.

237
00:13:36,458 --> 00:13:39,314
You covered the prison back in...
'83. Yes, yes.

238
00:13:39,338 --> 00:13:41,714
Uh, the prison and Mount Isa.

239
00:13:41,738 --> 00:13:43,354
The Mount Isa interview

240
00:13:43,378 --> 00:13:45,674
remains the third-highest rating one
we've ever done.

241
00:13:45,698 --> 00:13:48,474
I know. I was watching.
You were incredible.

242
00:13:48,498 --> 00:13:49,914
Oh, well...

243
00:13:49,938 --> 00:13:51,994
Yes, I'd much prefer
to be up there for this,

244
00:13:52,018 --> 00:13:54,234
but, uh, old Lindsay was adamant.

245
00:13:54,258 --> 00:13:57,377
Well, it's your story.
You have to be on that desk.

246
00:13:59,938 --> 00:14:01,594
You know, just quietly,

247
00:14:01,618 --> 00:14:03,978
I'm trying to secure
the Chamberlains' first interview.

248
00:14:05,258 --> 00:14:07,394
Really?
Yes, yes.

249
00:14:07,418 --> 00:14:10,594
You see, Lindy and... and Michael,
they know me.

250
00:14:10,618 --> 00:14:13,194
I always... always showed them
a lot of respect.

251
00:14:13,218 --> 00:14:17,194
And, Dale, the crucial thing -
and my advice to you -

252
00:14:17,218 --> 00:14:19,498
is respect their faith.

253
00:14:20,658 --> 00:14:22,194
I respected that.

254
00:14:22,218 --> 00:14:25,234
And seeing as you'll be up there,
representing the bulletin,

255
00:14:25,258 --> 00:14:27,114
I'd ask you to do the same.

256
00:14:27,138 --> 00:14:28,634
I will.

257
00:14:28,658 --> 00:14:30,234
Good lad.

258
00:14:30,258 --> 00:14:31,698
Thank you.

259
00:14:34,098 --> 00:14:35,474
OK.

260
00:14:35,498 --> 00:14:37,938
Hopefully, I'll have some good news
in the next day or two.

261
00:14:39,618 --> 00:14:41,738
Well...

262
00:14:48,658 --> 00:14:52,114
Thank you so much for seeing me
on such short notice.

263
00:14:52,138 --> 00:14:55,434
I probably won't even use them,
but just having them there helps.

264
00:14:55,458 --> 00:14:57,834
Is it getting to sleep or staying
asleep that's the problem?

265
00:14:57,858 --> 00:14:59,474
No, it's sleeping on the road.

266
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:01,034
You know, all the strange
hotel rooms,

267
00:15:01,058 --> 00:15:03,514
and then working late into
the evening certainly doesn't help.

268
00:15:03,538 --> 00:15:07,514
I did prescribe two dozen
a month ago.

269
00:15:07,538 --> 00:15:09,778
Yes, I know, but I left them
in a hotel room.

270
00:15:10,858 --> 00:15:13,194
We've been back and forth
quite a bit.

271
00:15:13,218 --> 00:15:14,658
From, um...

272
00:15:15,818 --> 00:15:17,994
From Darwin, actually.

273
00:15:18,018 --> 00:15:19,738
'Cause I'm about to...

274
00:15:20,778 --> 00:15:22,074
I shouldn't really be saying this,

275
00:15:22,098 --> 00:15:23,794
but I'm about to interview
Lindy Chamberlain.

276
00:15:23,818 --> 00:15:25,034
Really?
Yes.

277
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:27,194
They think she's
going to be released.

278
00:15:27,218 --> 00:15:28,714
Well, what do you think?

279
00:15:28,738 --> 00:15:30,538
Did... did she do it?

280
00:15:31,618 --> 00:15:34,138
I don't know yet. I haven't met her.
What do you think?

281
00:15:35,458 --> 00:15:37,234
Never really trusted her.

282
00:15:37,258 --> 00:15:38,938
No, Well, I mean,
you and half the country.

283
00:15:40,538 --> 00:15:42,074
A dozen, OK?

284
00:15:42,098 --> 00:15:44,018
Great.

285
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:03,954
Matinee jacket,
and confirmed that it was, indeed,

286
00:16:03,978 --> 00:16:06,058
the one Azaria was wearing...

287
00:16:18,658 --> 00:16:19,994
Whew! It is hot!

288
00:16:20,018 --> 00:16:21,898
Welcome.

289
00:16:26,138 --> 00:16:29,074
Alright. So, is this
the only way in and out?

290
00:16:29,098 --> 00:16:30,194
Yep.

291
00:16:30,218 --> 00:16:31,994
There's not a back entrance
that they could use?

292
00:16:32,018 --> 00:16:33,658
Three months, nonstop, right here.

293
00:16:36,778 --> 00:16:38,314
Alright, well,
where's the best place to be

294
00:16:38,338 --> 00:16:39,794
if you want to ask a question?

295
00:16:39,818 --> 00:16:41,234
She's not gonna take any questions.

296
00:16:41,258 --> 00:16:43,138
I think she might, you know?
I doubt it.

297
00:16:46,138 --> 00:16:47,914
Alright, well, let's just set up
as close as we can.

298
00:16:47,938 --> 00:16:49,434
Oh, can't we check in
to the motel first?

299
00:16:49,458 --> 00:16:50,634
I want to get a soft drink.

300
00:16:50,658 --> 00:16:52,354
They've already announced
her release.

301
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:54,698
It could happen at any moment,
so let's get set up, please.

302
00:16:56,658 --> 00:16:58,618
You sure you don't want to
get out of those pants?

303
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:01,554
What?
They look hot.

304
00:17:01,578 --> 00:17:04,634
I'm fine.
What are they? Polyester?

305
00:17:04,658 --> 00:17:06,218
They're a blend.

306
00:17:10,578 --> 00:17:12,978
Ooh! "They're a blend."

307
00:17:14,338 --> 00:17:16,817
Did you want to see me?
Yeah. Shut the door, will you?

308
00:17:19,738 --> 00:17:21,034
Not in trouble, am I?

309
00:17:21,058 --> 00:17:22,714
You, mate,

310
00:17:22,738 --> 00:17:24,954
you're gonna be reading
the weekend bulletin,

311
00:17:24,978 --> 00:17:26,458
as of tomorrow.

312
00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:29,034
Why?

313
00:17:29,058 --> 00:17:31,554
Because I may need you
to step up, and soon.

314
00:17:31,578 --> 00:17:33,314
To what?

315
00:17:33,338 --> 00:17:35,378
To newsreader, you flog.

316
00:17:37,818 --> 00:17:39,714
Is Helen leaving?
No.

317
00:17:39,738 --> 00:17:41,874
Geoff?
That's not your concern.

318
00:17:41,898 --> 00:17:44,074
There you go. I thought he was gonna
see out the bloody century.

319
00:17:44,098 --> 00:17:45,874
Christ, son,
this is not a conversation.

320
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:47,794
I am just telling you
what is happening.

321
00:17:47,818 --> 00:17:51,714
Yeah, but don't I have to...
cover some wars or something first?

322
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:54,474
Rob, you've covered the America's
Cup. You've covered Cliffy.

323
00:17:54,498 --> 00:17:56,497
That means so much more
to the average punter.

324
00:17:57,978 --> 00:17:59,714
Don't overthink this, son,
for Christ sake.

325
00:17:59,738 --> 00:18:02,394
I mean, being a newsreader
is the duck's nuts.

326
00:18:02,418 --> 00:18:04,034
You'll love it. Great pay.

327
00:18:04,058 --> 00:18:05,514
You get to waltz in here of a midday.

328
00:18:05,538 --> 00:18:07,474
Yeah, but Mum and Dad always say...
Now, just shut up!

329
00:18:07,498 --> 00:18:09,234
Go chat to Dennis about it.

330
00:18:09,258 --> 00:18:11,538
Because it could happen sooner
rather than later.

331
00:18:43,738 --> 00:18:45,657
Helen seem tense to you?

332
00:18:47,178 --> 00:18:49,178
I think she's just anxious
to get the story.

333
00:18:50,458 --> 00:18:52,514
I heard the two of you
had a good night

334
00:18:52,538 --> 00:18:54,018
the other night at Geoff's party.

335
00:18:55,138 --> 00:18:57,177
It's not really
that fascinating, Tim.

336
00:18:58,258 --> 00:19:00,154
Pashing a newsreader
in front of everyone

337
00:19:00,178 --> 00:19:01,538
I think is pretty fascinating.

338
00:19:02,658 --> 00:19:04,818
Plus, I thought you said
there was nothing going on.

339
00:19:05,818 --> 00:19:07,378
Well, there wasn't.

340
00:19:08,578 --> 00:19:10,138
But then things changed?

341
00:19:11,538 --> 00:19:13,298
Yeah.

342
00:19:14,618 --> 00:19:16,138
I guess that happens.

343
00:19:17,818 --> 00:19:19,298
Guess so.

344
00:19:26,418 --> 00:19:28,634
Tim? Tim! Ross!

345
00:19:28,658 --> 00:19:30,034
It's the car. I think it's her.

346
00:19:30,058 --> 00:19:31,754
Come on, come on!
Get set up.

347
00:19:31,778 --> 00:19:33,194
Two seconds.

348
00:19:33,218 --> 00:19:34,578
Right.

349
00:19:35,898 --> 00:19:37,474
Is she in there? Is she in there?

350
00:19:37,498 --> 00:19:39,378
Is she in there?
It's just a driver.

351
00:19:41,778 --> 00:19:43,234
No, it's just a driver.

352
00:19:43,258 --> 00:19:44,754
Back in the car.

353
00:19:44,778 --> 00:19:46,714
No, no, no, Helen, we need to
get a piece to camera.

354
00:19:46,738 --> 00:19:47,794
Lindy is the story.

355
00:19:47,818 --> 00:19:50,234
I'm sorry, hon, but we need footage
of you in front of that jail.

356
00:19:50,258 --> 00:19:52,154
We're gonna miss the bulletin
if we do not get this shot in.

357
00:19:52,178 --> 00:19:53,834
We have to send the tape off
in an hour. I'm sorry.

358
00:19:53,858 --> 00:19:55,698
Yes. Yes. It's rolling.
It's rolling.

359
00:19:56,738 --> 00:19:59,234
Lindy Chamberlain is finally
a free woman -

360
00:19:59,258 --> 00:20:02,074
Berrimah Prison made
the announcement this afternoon -

361
00:20:02,098 --> 00:20:05,114
after serving three years
of a life sentence.

362
00:20:05,138 --> 00:20:07,114
No, no, the... the inquiry!

363
00:20:07,138 --> 00:20:09,674
You've got to mention the new
inquiry. Come on. Come on, come on.

364
00:20:09,698 --> 00:20:11,458
Ooh, I swear to God, Dale.
It's important.

365
00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:16,754
Mrs Chamberlain will be working
with her legal team

366
00:20:16,778 --> 00:20:18,474
on the new inquiry.

367
00:20:18,498 --> 00:20:22,594
The Attorney-General has assured us
that she will remain a free woman,

368
00:20:22,618 --> 00:20:24,314
regardless of the outcome.

369
00:20:24,338 --> 00:20:27,218
OK, great.
Well, she is fucking gone!

370
00:20:28,938 --> 00:20:30,754
Well, let's stay positive.

371
00:20:30,778 --> 00:20:32,874
At least we got a story
for the deadline tonight.

372
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:35,658
At least we're
actually on the bulletin.

373
00:20:43,818 --> 00:20:46,594
Berrimah Prison made
the announcement this afternoon.

374
00:20:46,618 --> 00:20:49,954
And only hours later,
she was transported from prison,

375
00:20:49,978 --> 00:20:51,594
shielded from sight.

376
00:20:51,618 --> 00:20:53,354
And we're back in 10.

377
00:20:53,378 --> 00:20:54,794
Mrs Chamberlain will be working...

378
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:58,474
Well, that was just riveting,
wasn't it?

379
00:20:58,498 --> 00:21:00,634
So glad we went to
so much trouble to get that.

380
00:21:00,658 --> 00:21:02,578
Four...

381
00:21:03,898 --> 00:21:05,274
Helen Norville, News at Six.

382
00:21:05,298 --> 00:21:07,794
Meanwhile, the search
around the base of Ayres Rock,

383
00:21:07,818 --> 00:21:10,674
where a number of items
of clothing were found,

384
00:21:10,698 --> 00:21:12,154
is continuing.

385
00:21:12,178 --> 00:21:14,314
Police and forensic
experts were already at work

386
00:21:14,338 --> 00:21:16,634
as the sun rose
over Central Australia today.

387
00:21:16,658 --> 00:21:18,514
They were anxious
to get on with the job

388
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:20,314
before the sun heated the sand
to the 68 degrees

389
00:21:20,338 --> 00:21:21,754
measured by the team yesterday.

390
00:21:21,778 --> 00:21:23,434
I mean, the car was definitely going

391
00:21:23,458 --> 00:21:25,194
in the opposite direction
to the airport.

392
00:21:25,218 --> 00:21:27,514
Yeah, it was.
Yeah. So, she is still in Darwin.

393
00:21:27,538 --> 00:21:29,434
Not necessarily.
She could have easily circled back.

394
00:21:29,458 --> 00:21:31,314
If she made it to the airport,
she would've been spotted.

395
00:21:31,338 --> 00:21:32,434
Did she have a favourite hotel

396
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,714
or did they used to stay somewhere
particularly when they were here?

397
00:21:34,738 --> 00:21:35,715
Not that I remember.

398
00:21:35,739 --> 00:21:37,634
How many hotels can there be
in Darwin? There's four of us.

399
00:21:37,658 --> 00:21:39,394
We could start ringing them.
I'm not ringing hotels.

400
00:21:39,418 --> 00:21:40,594
Even if she was staying
at a hotel...

401
00:21:40,618 --> 00:21:42,714
Well, we should have followed.
.. they wouldn't tell us.

402
00:21:42,738 --> 00:21:46,354
Geoff said the key to Lindy
was her faith, so...

403
00:21:46,378 --> 00:21:47,594
churches.

404
00:21:47,618 --> 00:21:48,954
So, this is...
Hang on.

405
00:21:48,978 --> 00:21:51,274
She stayed with a churchy couple
during the trial.

406
00:21:51,298 --> 00:21:52,954
Who?
Uh, the... the Parkinsons.

407
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:54,234
Parkinsons. Parkinsons.
Where?

408
00:21:54,258 --> 00:21:56,754
He's... No, he's saying...
He's not saying it IS Parkinson.

409
00:21:56,778 --> 00:21:58,474
He's saying it's something like that.

410
00:21:58,498 --> 00:22:00,497
- Where were they?
- Uh, it was in the city.

411
00:22:06,538 --> 00:22:08,034
Newsroom. Noelene here.

412
00:22:08,058 --> 00:22:09,074
Hey, it's Dale in Darwin.

413
00:22:09,098 --> 00:22:11,034
Ah! Nice footage
of that car driving away.

414
00:22:11,058 --> 00:22:13,474
I need you to go through
the trial clippings for me.

415
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:14,834
I need a name.

416
00:22:14,858 --> 00:22:17,074
So, Tim reckons
that the Chamberlains

417
00:22:17,098 --> 00:22:20,194
stayed with a local couple
here in Darwin during the trial.

418
00:22:20,218 --> 00:22:22,034
Uh, members of their church.
Seventh-Day Adventists.

419
00:22:22,058 --> 00:22:24,114
The... Parkinsons?

420
00:22:24,138 --> 00:22:26,234
Try the Parsons, maybe.
Or the Parsons.

421
00:22:26,258 --> 00:22:28,074
There are hundreds of articles.

422
00:22:28,098 --> 00:22:29,898
Oi? Is that Darwin?

423
00:22:34,658 --> 00:22:36,074
Helen.
Dale, actually.

424
00:22:36,098 --> 00:22:37,674
Bugger off, Dale.
Put Helen on, will you?

425
00:22:37,698 --> 00:22:38,858
Helen?

426
00:22:41,458 --> 00:22:43,178
Who is it? Lindsay?
Yeah.

427
00:22:44,178 --> 00:22:45,554
Lindsay...
That shot of the car.

428
00:22:45,578 --> 00:22:46,954
Is that the only bloody thing
you got?

429
00:22:46,978 --> 00:22:48,674
You know what?
To be fair, that's all anybody got.

430
00:22:48,698 --> 00:22:51,354
They were trying very hard not
to get any kind of press coverage.

431
00:22:51,378 --> 00:22:53,274
Now, listen, we've got
a really solid lead.

432
00:22:53,298 --> 00:22:54,994
Your lead,
would that involve Noelene

433
00:22:55,018 --> 00:22:57,514
tossing these clippings round
like bits of confetti?

434
00:22:57,538 --> 00:22:59,354
The Parrys.
The Parrys.

435
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:00,754
Parrys. Parrys.
Parrys?

436
00:23:00,778 --> 00:23:02,954
Parrys! It's John... John Parry.

437
00:23:02,978 --> 00:23:04,634
He had a, uh, pest control.

438
00:23:04,658 --> 00:23:06,874
OK, cool. Hey, Lindsay, I'm gonna
call you back tomorrow, alright?

439
00:23:06,898 --> 00:23:09,154
We've got a solid lead. We might even
have an interview by then.

440
00:23:09,178 --> 00:23:10,538
I bet you you will.

441
00:23:14,818 --> 00:23:17,418
Here we go. Parry's Pest Control.
Fantastic.

442
00:23:31,378 --> 00:23:32,954
So, Lindy's in that house.

443
00:23:32,978 --> 00:23:34,434
We don't know that.

444
00:23:34,458 --> 00:23:35,538
OK.

445
00:23:36,578 --> 00:23:39,874
I think I go in, right now,
and just make the offer.

446
00:23:39,898 --> 00:23:42,874
The offer, as in the interview,
or the offer, as in...?

447
00:23:42,898 --> 00:23:46,594
Everything. We're the only media
here. We've got the advantage.

448
00:23:46,618 --> 00:23:48,834
That's a decision
for upstairs to make.

449
00:23:48,858 --> 00:23:51,074
I think that upstairs
want us to go in hard.

450
00:23:51,098 --> 00:23:52,594
Are you gonna pay her?

451
00:23:52,618 --> 00:23:54,794
Helen, I don't think
journos are the ones

452
00:23:54,818 --> 00:23:56,594
who should be offering cash
for interviews.

453
00:23:56,618 --> 00:24:00,034
Do you know how much money that the
media's made off Lindy Chamberlain?

454
00:24:00,058 --> 00:24:01,794
You think our CEO deserves
that more than she does?

455
00:24:01,818 --> 00:24:03,394
I think I'm gonna just record this,
just in case.

456
00:24:03,418 --> 00:24:05,914
It's not about that.
How's she gonna earn money?

457
00:24:05,938 --> 00:24:08,794
Is she gonna walk into a shop,
get a job? She can't do that.

458
00:24:08,818 --> 00:24:12,114
This has nothing to do with Lindy.
It is a precedent.

459
00:24:12,138 --> 00:24:13,554
We need to
secure the interview first,

460
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:14,834
without resorting to
paying her cash.

461
00:24:14,858 --> 00:24:17,074
I disagree. We're here. She's free.

462
00:24:17,098 --> 00:24:20,098
We go in with all that we have.
Wait, Helen, don't...

463
00:24:35,018 --> 00:24:36,394
Mr Parry?
Yes.

464
00:24:36,418 --> 00:24:39,714
Hello. My name is Helen Norville.
I'm from the News at Six.

465
00:24:39,738 --> 00:24:41,834
I was wondering if Lindy Chamberlain
was with you.

466
00:24:41,858 --> 00:24:43,594
I'm sorry, I can't give you
any information.

467
00:24:43,618 --> 00:24:44,874
I totally understand.

468
00:24:44,898 --> 00:24:47,834
But if you were able to maybe
pass some information on to her,

469
00:24:47,858 --> 00:24:49,594
I'm actually here
with a camera crew.

470
00:24:49,618 --> 00:24:51,234
Now, if she were interested in

471
00:24:51,258 --> 00:24:54,154
talking to us about her release,
how she feels,

472
00:24:54,178 --> 00:24:56,114
I can offer a very sympathetic ear.

473
00:24:56,138 --> 00:24:58,834
I can also offer
a large sum of money.

474
00:24:58,858 --> 00:25:00,954
And let me be clear, I'm talking
about financial compensation

475
00:25:00,978 --> 00:25:02,314
for her to speak with us.

476
00:25:02,338 --> 00:25:04,298
If you could please
stay back from the yard.

477
00:25:10,818 --> 00:25:12,194
How'd you go?

478
00:25:12,218 --> 00:25:13,594
Did you get the story?

479
00:25:13,618 --> 00:25:15,994
From here, it kind of looked like
he slammed the door in your face.

480
00:25:16,018 --> 00:25:17,514
Well, I think that
he's going to tell her

481
00:25:17,538 --> 00:25:19,114
and I also think that she's
going to consider it.

482
00:25:19,138 --> 00:25:20,834
So, we just wait.
For how long?

483
00:25:20,858 --> 00:25:22,474
However long it takes.

484
00:25:22,498 --> 00:25:24,834
We'll stay until it gets dark,
but then we'll go.

485
00:25:24,858 --> 00:25:26,514
No, we stay until she emerges.

486
00:25:26,538 --> 00:25:27,874
Tonight?
Yes.

487
00:25:27,898 --> 00:25:29,594
Helen, we need a phone. We need...

488
00:25:29,618 --> 00:25:31,634
Food, a toilet.
There's bushes everywhere.

489
00:25:31,658 --> 00:25:33,274
We have been up since dawn.

490
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:35,474
We don't know how many days
we're going to be here.

491
00:25:35,498 --> 00:25:37,738
And we need to sleep, all of us.

492
00:25:44,378 --> 00:25:46,018
I'm on my own here?

493
00:26:04,778 --> 00:26:07,994
Honestly, for a story
of this magnitude,

494
00:26:08,018 --> 00:26:13,354
to send a game-show girl
with no field experience...

495
00:26:13,378 --> 00:26:15,794
She has some field experience,
darling.

496
00:26:15,818 --> 00:26:17,818
It didn't show.

497
00:26:19,298 --> 00:26:22,314
Not too much.
Just a...

498
00:26:22,338 --> 00:26:24,234
Anything from
the Chamberlains' lawyer?

499
00:26:24,258 --> 00:26:25,618
Not yet.

500
00:26:26,858 --> 00:26:28,554
How many times have you called?

501
00:26:28,578 --> 00:26:30,114
I've left two messages.

502
00:26:30,138 --> 00:26:32,914
The Chamberlains know me.
Their lawyer knows me.

503
00:26:32,938 --> 00:26:35,234
If they are inclined to speak
to anybody, it will be me.

504
00:26:35,258 --> 00:26:37,034
Or Ray Martin.

505
00:26:37,058 --> 00:26:39,314
Ha! Doubt it.

506
00:26:39,338 --> 00:26:41,178
Well, he's very popular.

507
00:26:42,658 --> 00:26:44,314
Dee mentioned.

508
00:26:44,338 --> 00:26:46,674
The Weekly was looking to partner

509
00:26:46,698 --> 00:26:50,754
with a respected broadcaster,
like yourself,

510
00:26:50,778 --> 00:26:54,618
and they'd be willing to offer
a considerable cash incentive.

511
00:26:57,578 --> 00:26:59,314
You've been making calls.

512
00:26:59,338 --> 00:27:01,354
No. Dee just mentioned it.

513
00:27:01,378 --> 00:27:03,034
Evelyn...

514
00:27:03,058 --> 00:27:04,794
I will get this interview.

515
00:27:04,818 --> 00:27:07,154
But I've never paid for a story

516
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:08,738
and I never will.

517
00:27:49,138 --> 00:27:51,314
Hey.

518
00:27:51,338 --> 00:27:53,074
A bit hot to sleep?

519
00:27:53,098 --> 00:27:54,674
Yeah.

520
00:27:54,698 --> 00:27:56,978
Don't worry, you get used to it
after a while.

521
00:28:09,258 --> 00:28:12,194
I'm surprised you're not
sharing a room with Helen.

522
00:28:12,218 --> 00:28:14,537
It's a bit early
in the relationship, is it?

523
00:28:17,498 --> 00:28:20,818
You seem totally obsessed
with my personal life.

524
00:28:24,738 --> 00:28:26,578
But you never talk about yourself.

525
00:28:27,818 --> 00:28:30,514
You never, ever disclose
anything about you.

526
00:28:30,538 --> 00:28:32,074
Well, is there something
you want to know?

527
00:28:32,098 --> 00:28:33,474
No, actually. I...

528
00:28:33,498 --> 00:28:35,754
I think people's personal lives
should stay personal.

529
00:28:35,778 --> 00:28:37,178
OK.

530
00:28:38,578 --> 00:28:41,178
You know, my personal life...

531
00:28:42,218 --> 00:28:45,634
is, uh... it's not a secret
or anything like that.

532
00:28:45,658 --> 00:28:48,194
I just... just don't advertise it.

533
00:28:48,218 --> 00:28:49,978
Because, uh...

534
00:28:51,298 --> 00:28:53,418
well, because I'm gay.

535
00:28:55,538 --> 00:28:59,018
And you don't know how people
are gonna take it, you know?

536
00:29:01,578 --> 00:29:02,954
Well...

537
00:29:02,978 --> 00:29:04,938
it's nobody's business
but your own.

538
00:29:12,298 --> 00:29:15,578
I hope I didn't make you
uncomfortable or anything like that.

539
00:29:18,178 --> 00:29:19,378
No.

540
00:29:21,178 --> 00:29:22,634
No.

541
00:29:22,658 --> 00:29:24,698
It's no issue, from my perspective.

542
00:29:26,258 --> 00:29:27,898
Well, that's a good thing.

543
00:29:33,658 --> 00:29:35,858
With Helen, at Geoff's party...

544
00:29:39,658 --> 00:29:41,858
we sort of just got caught up
in the moment.

545
00:29:44,338 --> 00:29:45,954
And then...

546
00:29:45,978 --> 00:29:48,634
we haven't had a chance
to catch our breath.

547
00:29:48,658 --> 00:29:50,818
And then, this story broke, so...

548
00:29:54,098 --> 00:29:57,458
It's not like we're in some
big relationship or anything yet.

549
00:29:58,698 --> 00:30:00,338
Do you reckon it's gonna be?

550
00:30:01,858 --> 00:30:03,338
Maybe.

551
00:30:09,378 --> 00:30:12,297
Well, I guess you can't fight love.

552
00:30:21,018 --> 00:30:22,777
I'm gonna go to bed now.

553
00:30:24,138 --> 00:30:26,018
I think I've cooled down.

554
00:30:28,778 --> 00:30:30,698
'Night.
Goodnight.

555
00:30:49,538 --> 00:30:50,954
Is... is Noelene there?

556
00:30:50,978 --> 00:30:52,698
Yeah, yeah. She's here.
I'll go get her.

557
00:31:04,778 --> 00:31:05,954
Hello?

558
00:31:05,978 --> 00:31:07,394
G'day, it's Rob.

559
00:31:07,418 --> 00:31:09,314
Hello. Yes.

560
00:31:09,338 --> 00:31:10,874
Yep. Fr-from work.

561
00:31:10,898 --> 00:31:12,394
Yes.

562
00:31:12,418 --> 00:31:16,874
Yeah, hey, listen, I'm doing the,
um... the weekend bulletin tonight

563
00:31:16,898 --> 00:31:19,594
and I've just found out that
I've got to do a live interview

564
00:31:19,618 --> 00:31:22,114
with the coroner
of the Chamberlain case.

565
00:31:22,138 --> 00:31:27,754
And I've got no idea
about, uh, any... any of that.

566
00:31:27,778 --> 00:31:29,514
Just ask the producer
for the questions.

567
00:31:29,538 --> 00:31:31,234
No, I did. I've got 'em.

568
00:31:31,258 --> 00:31:33,474
I just... I'm not sure that

569
00:31:33,498 --> 00:31:36,634
I'm understanding the, uh...
the story.

570
00:31:36,658 --> 00:31:39,394
Just read the questions they gave you
and don't worry.

571
00:31:39,418 --> 00:31:40,954
It won't show.

572
00:31:40,978 --> 00:31:43,554
But is there any chance that
you can come in and help me prepare?

573
00:31:43,578 --> 00:31:45,794
I don't work on Saturdays.

574
00:31:45,818 --> 00:31:47,138
Please...

575
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:54,994
OK.

576
00:31:55,018 --> 00:31:57,754
Um... see you soon.

577
00:31:57,778 --> 00:31:59,394
Great. Thanks, Noels.

578
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:02,074
Do you... know
who Lindy Chamberlain is?

579
00:32:02,098 --> 00:32:04,898
Yep. I'm all over it. I'll see you
in an hour. Thanks, Noels. Bye.

580
00:32:05,938 --> 00:32:07,954
This is the coroner back in 1981.

581
00:32:07,978 --> 00:32:10,754
Yeah, Mr Barrett. That's his name.
I do know his name.

582
00:32:10,778 --> 00:32:12,634
So, his finding, as coroner,

583
00:32:12,658 --> 00:32:15,794
was that Azaria Chamberlain
was taken by a dingo.

584
00:32:15,818 --> 00:32:17,914
He said there was no reason
to suspect otherwise.

585
00:32:17,938 --> 00:32:19,314
Yep. Yep.

586
00:32:19,338 --> 00:32:21,754
But then a murder charge
was brought against Lindy

587
00:32:21,778 --> 00:32:23,034
and, so...

588
00:32:23,058 --> 00:32:24,858
So, he was wrong.

589
00:32:26,178 --> 00:32:28,034
But also right. What? What?

590
00:32:28,058 --> 00:32:29,674
No, he was right.

591
00:32:29,698 --> 00:32:31,234
You know, he was always right.

592
00:32:31,258 --> 00:32:34,554
But during the murder trial,
he was held up to ridicule.

593
00:32:34,578 --> 00:32:36,378
His reputation was shredded.

594
00:32:37,418 --> 00:32:39,177
Yeah, but...

595
00:32:41,298 --> 00:32:43,074
It's like he won the premiership,

596
00:32:43,098 --> 00:32:46,154
but then he was told he lost it
on a technicality.

597
00:32:46,178 --> 00:32:49,114
Only now, years later, it's been
proved he actually did win it.

598
00:32:49,138 --> 00:32:50,834
Vindication.
Yes.

599
00:32:50,858 --> 00:32:55,018
So, he said the dingo took the baby,
and now...

600
00:32:56,098 --> 00:32:58,154
now it turns out
the dingo took the baby.

601
00:32:58,178 --> 00:32:59,434
Exactly!

602
00:32:59,458 --> 00:33:03,114
Well, why aren't we asking, like,
how does it feel to be proved right?

603
00:33:03,138 --> 00:33:04,794
You should.
That's a good question.

604
00:33:04,818 --> 00:33:05,994
It's not the list.

605
00:33:06,018 --> 00:33:07,434
Uh, it doesn't matter.

606
00:33:07,458 --> 00:33:09,594
It's your interview. Ask it.

607
00:33:09,618 --> 00:33:11,474
"Mr Barrett..."

608
00:33:11,498 --> 00:33:12,834
Yeah.

609
00:33:12,858 --> 00:33:16,058
"After all this time, how does
it feel to be proved right?"

610
00:33:37,498 --> 00:33:39,674
It is assumed
that Mrs Chamberlain...

611
00:33:39,698 --> 00:33:42,114
It's pretty safe to say
that we've lost our advantage.

612
00:33:42,138 --> 00:33:45,074
Shall we just get a piece to camera
before it gets any busier?

613
00:33:45,098 --> 00:33:46,378
Yep.

614
00:33:47,698 --> 00:33:49,034
Alright.

615
00:33:49,058 --> 00:33:50,434
Should we just get something about

616
00:33:50,458 --> 00:33:52,434
how it was her first night
of freedom.

617
00:33:52,458 --> 00:33:53,618
Yep.

618
00:33:55,618 --> 00:33:57,498
Sleep OK?
Yeah.

619
00:33:58,538 --> 00:34:00,354
You do realise last night
was Friday night?

620
00:34:00,378 --> 00:34:01,355
Yeah.

621
00:34:01,379 --> 00:34:03,794
And you said that you were going to
do something a little bit creative.

622
00:34:03,818 --> 00:34:04,994
I thought we were working.

623
00:34:05,018 --> 00:34:06,194
Thanks.

624
00:34:06,218 --> 00:34:08,234
Next weekend, we'll...
What?

625
00:34:08,258 --> 00:34:10,634
Can you see the door?

626
00:34:10,658 --> 00:34:11,954
Yeah.

627
00:34:11,978 --> 00:34:13,634
OK. Good, Ross?
Yep.

628
00:34:13,658 --> 00:34:15,594
And... rolling.

629
00:34:15,618 --> 00:34:17,514
Behind me, in this suburban home,

630
00:34:17,538 --> 00:34:21,074
is where Lindy Chamberlain
has spent her first night of freedom.

631
00:34:21,098 --> 00:34:23,234
She's been staying with the Parrys,

632
00:34:23,258 --> 00:34:25,274
members of the Adventist Church

633
00:34:25,298 --> 00:34:27,594
who have been steadfast in their
support of the Chamberlains.

634
00:34:27,618 --> 00:34:29,434
Stuart Tipple, Lindy's lawyer.
Stuart Tipple.

635
00:34:29,458 --> 00:34:32,234
Arriving now is Stuart Tipple,
Lindy Chamberlain's lawyer.

636
00:34:32,258 --> 00:34:35,234
Mr Tipple, Mr Tipple,
Helen Norville, News at Six.

637
00:34:35,258 --> 00:34:36,874
No comment at this time.

638
00:34:36,898 --> 00:34:39,097
I'm wondering if you know
I made an approach yesterday.

639
00:34:40,458 --> 00:34:43,234
There'll be no interviews, no photo
opportunities, given right now.

640
00:34:43,258 --> 00:34:45,417
You're wasting your time.
Please, move on.

641
00:34:51,778 --> 00:34:54,194
We'll just get
your piece to camera and go.

642
00:34:54,218 --> 00:34:55,514
No.

643
00:34:55,538 --> 00:34:57,114
He just said no interviews.

644
00:34:57,138 --> 00:34:59,234
He actually just said
no interviews right now.

645
00:34:59,258 --> 00:35:00,874
Helen, he asked us to leave.
Dale, this is the gig.

646
00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,314
You don't walk away
the minute somebody...

647
00:35:02,338 --> 00:35:04,234
We need to call the office.
.. closes the door in your face.

648
00:35:04,258 --> 00:35:05,474
We need to update Lindsay
and Dennis.

649
00:35:05,498 --> 00:35:07,034
If you've reached your limit,
call the office.

650
00:35:07,058 --> 00:35:09,074
It's nothing to do with...
Speak to Dennis. I'm staying here.

651
00:35:09,098 --> 00:35:10,498
me reaching my limit.
Oh, my God.

652
00:35:15,338 --> 00:35:16,858
Bit of a lovers' tiff?

653
00:35:17,858 --> 00:35:19,378
Do you have 10 bucks?

654
00:35:20,458 --> 00:35:22,978
Uh, yeah. Sure.

655
00:35:24,018 --> 00:35:25,314
How come?

656
00:35:25,338 --> 00:35:26,938
Bribing the neighbours.

657
00:35:28,138 --> 00:35:29,554
There you go.

658
00:35:29,578 --> 00:35:31,194
Thanks, I'll, uh, pay you back.

659
00:35:31,218 --> 00:35:32,578
No worries.

660
00:35:34,218 --> 00:35:36,018
Jeez, I hate it
when Mum and Dad fight.

661
00:35:39,138 --> 00:35:40,378
Phone.

662
00:35:41,418 --> 00:35:43,674
Could I get you a cuppa?
Thank you, no.

663
00:35:43,698 --> 00:35:45,034
Just the phone is fine.

664
00:35:45,058 --> 00:35:46,834
Well, sing out if you need anything.

665
00:35:46,858 --> 00:35:48,218
OK.

666
00:35:56,338 --> 00:35:58,354
Newsroom, Noelene speaking.

667
00:35:58,378 --> 00:36:01,594
Hi, Noels.
Is Dennis or Lindsay available?

668
00:36:01,618 --> 00:36:03,314
Uh, both. Who do you want?

669
00:36:03,338 --> 00:36:05,194
Let's start with Dennis.

670
00:36:05,218 --> 00:36:07,234
You alright?
Yeah, I'm...

671
00:36:07,258 --> 00:36:08,938
Just... can you put Dennis
on the line?

672
00:36:10,578 --> 00:36:13,114
We'll keep trying the
number, Lindy. We'll get through.

673
00:36:13,138 --> 00:36:14,594
I just told him last night,

674
00:36:14,618 --> 00:36:16,074
I'd speak to him again
in the morning.

675
00:36:16,098 --> 00:36:18,154
I know you did. Michael's probably
getting hundreds of calls.

676
00:36:18,178 --> 00:36:19,194
Dale!

677
00:36:19,218 --> 00:36:21,874
When an office spends a fortune
sending you to Darwin,

678
00:36:21,898 --> 00:36:24,914
the expectation is you will call in
first thing every single morning.

679
00:36:24,938 --> 00:36:26,074
So sorry, Dennis.

680
00:36:26,098 --> 00:36:27,778
Gotta call you back.
Don't hang up this...!

681
00:36:29,138 --> 00:36:31,114
Helen?

682
00:36:31,138 --> 00:36:32,954
Helen, come with me.

683
00:36:32,978 --> 00:36:35,274
Just come with me.
What? What is it?

684
00:36:35,298 --> 00:36:36,578
What?

685
00:36:40,938 --> 00:36:42,434
Is he any better?

686
00:36:42,458 --> 00:36:44,834
Oh, he was still a bit shy.

687
00:36:44,858 --> 00:36:47,234
And Aidan was there,
leaning into the phone.

688
00:36:47,258 --> 00:36:48,834
He's so cheeky.

689
00:36:48,858 --> 00:36:51,474
He said they bought me a present.

690
00:36:51,498 --> 00:36:53,234
He didn't say what it is, though.

691
00:36:53,258 --> 00:36:54,817
Did you speak to Kahlia?

692
00:36:56,378 --> 00:36:59,394
I think she's gonna need some time.

693
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:01,234
- Oh, my God. Is it...?
- It won't take long.

694
00:37:01,258 --> 00:37:03,698
I just look so different
to how they remember.

695
00:37:05,138 --> 00:37:07,194
I thought you were gonna
come out of prison different,

696
00:37:07,218 --> 00:37:08,594
but you haven't.

697
00:37:08,618 --> 00:37:10,474
You've still got the same smile.

698
00:37:10,498 --> 00:37:12,218
They'll recognise that smile.

699
00:37:14,138 --> 00:37:17,114
Just the thought of us
all sitting down, as a family...

700
00:37:17,138 --> 00:37:21,058
One more sleep.
One more sleep.

701
00:37:23,498 --> 00:37:27,474
Helen... Forget the money
Forget waiting for her.

702
00:37:27,498 --> 00:37:29,714
You write her a personal letter,
you introduce yourself,

703
00:37:29,738 --> 00:37:32,274
you explain to her why you are
the best person to tell her story,

704
00:37:32,298 --> 00:37:34,034
and then we fax it to her lawyer.

705
00:37:34,058 --> 00:37:36,114
And we make it a story
about a grieving mother,

706
00:37:36,138 --> 00:37:38,194
someone who's been separated
from her children.

707
00:37:38,218 --> 00:37:41,234
The Lindy that's always been there,
but everybody's just refused to see.

708
00:37:41,258 --> 00:37:42,938
That's it.
Let's do it.

709
00:37:45,178 --> 00:37:48,017
We are back in four...

710
00:37:54,738 --> 00:37:58,514
One of the most interesting figures
in the long history of the case

711
00:37:58,538 --> 00:38:00,554
has been Dennis Barrett.

712
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:02,914
Mr Barrett was the coroner
of the Northern Territory

713
00:38:02,938 --> 00:38:05,514
during the first inquest in 1980,

714
00:38:05,538 --> 00:38:08,434
for which he faced fierce criticism.

715
00:38:08,458 --> 00:38:11,074
He joins me now from Darwin.

716
00:38:11,098 --> 00:38:13,154
Mr Barrett, thank you for joining us.
Thank you, Rob.

717
00:38:13,178 --> 00:38:14,594
Now, at the time...
Thank you.

718
00:38:14,618 --> 00:38:16,698
Uh, sorry. No, thank you. Uh...

719
00:38:17,938 --> 00:38:21,474
The first inquest, you found
that Azaria Chamberlain

720
00:38:21,498 --> 00:38:24,274
had been taken from the tent
by a dingo.

721
00:38:24,298 --> 00:38:25,634
That's right. Yes.

722
00:38:25,658 --> 00:38:28,554
And you also criticised the police
forensic team

723
00:38:28,578 --> 00:38:30,154
and you went further to suggest

724
00:38:30,178 --> 00:38:33,394
that the police,
the public and the media

725
00:38:33,418 --> 00:38:38,074
had created a prejudicial environment
for Lindy and Michael Chamberlain.

726
00:38:38,098 --> 00:38:40,378
Yes, I thought that was happening.

727
00:38:41,778 --> 00:38:43,578
How does it feel to be right?

728
00:38:44,698 --> 00:38:48,658
Well, everyone was doing their job
to the best of their ability.

729
00:38:50,338 --> 00:38:53,354
But, sir, with respect,
I'd put it to you

730
00:38:53,378 --> 00:38:56,394
that, uh, you were right all along.

731
00:38:56,418 --> 00:38:57,794
You're not angry?

732
00:38:57,818 --> 00:38:59,154
No.

733
00:38:59,178 --> 00:39:01,058
It's Lindy Chamberlain who suffered.

734
00:39:02,538 --> 00:39:06,714
Well... well, that's... I mean, that's
very gracious of you, Mr Barrett.

735
00:39:06,738 --> 00:39:10,194
I'm just... I'm just not sure
that everyone would feel that way.

736
00:39:10,218 --> 00:39:13,074
As I say, everyone was doing
their job.

737
00:39:13,098 --> 00:39:15,978
I have no bitterness
about any of it.

738
00:39:18,778 --> 00:39:23,874
It's... it's like you lost
the premiership on a technicality,

739
00:39:23,898 --> 00:39:26,074
only to find out, years later,

740
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:28,058
that you actually won it.

741
00:39:29,218 --> 00:39:32,394
As I say, the legal process
was followed

742
00:39:32,418 --> 00:39:34,898
and what happened was a tragedy.

743
00:39:36,738 --> 00:39:39,498
Mr Barrett, thank you.
Thank you, Rob.

744
00:39:43,978 --> 00:39:45,657
Oh, that was cactus.

745
00:39:47,178 --> 00:39:50,594
I didn't mean literally
talking to him like a footy player.

746
00:39:50,618 --> 00:39:52,577
I know. I know.

747
00:39:53,978 --> 00:39:56,337
The rest of the bulletin was fine.

748
00:39:58,738 --> 00:40:00,354
Well, don't go overboard, will you?

749
00:40:00,378 --> 00:40:01,874
No, it was OK.

750
00:40:01,898 --> 00:40:05,378
I can't talk to anybody
about anything but footy.

751
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:07,937
Fuck!

752
00:40:09,138 --> 00:40:13,337
I mean, around here, there's just...
there's just so much...

753
00:40:14,498 --> 00:40:16,954
So much what?
Oh, I... you know, it...

754
00:40:16,978 --> 00:40:19,594
Like, with the sports boys

755
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:22,234
and with Lindsay, it's just...

756
00:40:22,258 --> 00:40:24,578
it's all this... it's posturing.

757
00:40:27,778 --> 00:40:29,738
I don't know how to talk to people.

758
00:40:33,498 --> 00:40:35,618
Sorry, Noels.

759
00:40:37,018 --> 00:40:40,338
Oh... Uh, no, it's... it's OK.

760
00:40:51,418 --> 00:40:53,138
What is that - draft four?

761
00:40:54,698 --> 00:40:56,394
I think this is gonna be
the last one.

762
00:40:56,418 --> 00:40:58,874
I thought the second draft
was perfect.

763
00:40:58,898 --> 00:41:01,994
I just want it to be a little bit
more about the mother story,

764
00:41:02,018 --> 00:41:03,578
as opposed to the family story.

765
00:41:04,778 --> 00:41:06,578
I got that from the second pass.

766
00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:12,058
I think I can do better.

767
00:41:13,498 --> 00:41:17,114
Uh, I was gonna wait,
but this is the perfect light.

768
00:41:17,138 --> 00:41:19,058
So...

769
00:41:22,218 --> 00:41:24,474
I know it's Saturday evening,

770
00:41:24,498 --> 00:41:28,714
and I concede the original deal
was Friday,

771
00:41:28,738 --> 00:41:33,874
but we do have this sunset
and the view,

772
00:41:33,898 --> 00:41:37,657
some warm champagne, two of the
better mugs from my motel room...

773
00:41:39,178 --> 00:41:40,777
and some artificial flowers...

774
00:41:42,498 --> 00:41:44,538
that I stole from reception.

775
00:41:45,898 --> 00:41:49,258
I committed an actual crime
for this, so...

776
00:41:52,098 --> 00:41:53,618
Have I redeemed myself?

777
00:41:54,618 --> 00:41:56,258
Yeah, I think you might have.

778
00:41:57,898 --> 00:42:00,074
Can you, um...

779
00:42:00,098 --> 00:42:03,138
spare... 10 minutes?

780
00:42:07,178 --> 00:42:08,818
You want to finish the letter,
don't you?

781
00:42:09,858 --> 00:42:12,314
I'm just... I'm so close.

782
00:42:12,338 --> 00:42:14,114
I'll be maybe five minutes.

783
00:42:14,138 --> 00:42:16,914
Ah... that's alright.

784
00:42:16,938 --> 00:42:19,234
But let the record show that I did
deliver on this creative date

785
00:42:19,258 --> 00:42:20,818
and you chose work.

786
00:42:25,978 --> 00:42:28,154
Do you really think
that the second draft was good?

787
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:29,377
It was fantastic.

788
00:42:35,178 --> 00:42:36,938
But I, uh...

789
00:42:38,098 --> 00:42:40,354
I want it to be career-defining good.

790
00:42:40,378 --> 00:42:42,658
Well, for me, it was, but...

791
00:42:43,898 --> 00:42:45,938
if you think you can make it
even better...

792
00:42:48,418 --> 00:42:50,018
take all the time you need.

793
00:43:13,138 --> 00:43:17,794
Lindy Chamberlain is finally
on her way home to Mount Isa.

794
00:43:17,818 --> 00:43:19,634
Boarding a plane in Darwin
this afternoon,

795
00:43:19,658 --> 00:43:23,154
she will soon be reunited
with her husband and three children,

796
00:43:23,178 --> 00:43:25,274
as Helen Norville reports.

797
00:43:25,298 --> 00:43:29,274
Mrs Chamberlain's getaway proved
to be a carefully planned manoeuvre.

798
00:43:29,298 --> 00:43:30,914
She was shielded from sight

799
00:43:30,938 --> 00:43:33,474
as she was smuggled
from this suburban home.

800
00:43:33,498 --> 00:43:38,114
She was then taken to Darwin Airport,
straight to the aircraft, in a van,

801
00:43:38,138 --> 00:43:41,074
accompanied by her solicitor,
Stuart Tipple.

802
00:43:41,098 --> 00:43:44,514
She boarded the flight from
the back stairs, covering her face.

803
00:43:44,538 --> 00:43:46,394
And now the world awaits.

804
00:43:46,418 --> 00:43:49,114
Mrs Chamberlain's
first public appearance,

805
00:43:49,138 --> 00:43:51,954
her first public comments
as a free woman.

806
00:43:51,978 --> 00:43:54,354
What will she say about her release,

807
00:43:54,378 --> 00:43:55,914
about her family reunion

808
00:43:55,938 --> 00:44:00,474
and, of course, the extraordinary
events of the past six years?

809
00:44:00,498 --> 00:44:04,258
I'm Helen Norville.
You're watching News at Six.

810
00:44:10,458 --> 00:44:12,098
Thank you.

811
00:44:14,658 --> 00:44:16,834
OK. I'm gonna make a drink.
Do you want one?

812
00:44:16,858 --> 00:44:18,754
Helen, we drank so much
on the plane.

813
00:44:18,778 --> 00:44:20,834
If I drink any more,
I might pass out.

814
00:44:20,858 --> 00:44:22,074
But sure.

815
00:44:22,098 --> 00:44:23,994
Oh, can you read that?
That's from work.

816
00:44:24,018 --> 00:44:25,554
And I'm sure it's Lindsay
just telling me

817
00:44:25,578 --> 00:44:27,458
what an awful failure I was.

818
00:44:29,258 --> 00:44:31,338
I'm gonna... I'm gonna pour scotch.

819
00:44:35,058 --> 00:44:36,498
What does it say?

820
00:44:38,018 --> 00:44:40,594
Well, he wants us in
first thing tomorrow.

821
00:44:40,618 --> 00:44:42,434
Yeah, of course he does.

822
00:44:42,458 --> 00:44:44,058
Because...

823
00:44:45,058 --> 00:44:47,274
he's heard from Lindy's lawyer.

824
00:44:47,298 --> 00:44:49,194
They received a letter

825
00:44:49,218 --> 00:44:52,154
and they would like to arrange
a phone conference

826
00:44:52,178 --> 00:44:54,474
to negotiate an interview.

827
00:44:54,498 --> 00:44:56,074
No!

828
00:44:56,098 --> 00:44:58,714
Yes! Yes!
No! No! No!

829
00:44:58,738 --> 00:45:00,714
Yeah he wants to confirm
the details tomorrow morning

830
00:45:00,738 --> 00:45:03,297
before presenting her with
a proposal in the coming week.

831
00:45:05,018 --> 00:45:06,474
Oh, I told you draft two was...

832
00:45:06,498 --> 00:45:07,498
Thank you.

833
00:45:22,058 --> 00:45:24,458
Walters residence. Evelyn speaking.

834
00:45:25,778 --> 00:45:27,738
Yes. Just a moment.

835
00:45:28,778 --> 00:45:31,698
It's the lawyer, Stuart Tipple.

836
00:45:35,258 --> 00:45:36,554
Geoff Walters.

837
00:45:36,578 --> 00:45:38,674
Mr Walters, Stuart Tipple here.

838
00:45:38,698 --> 00:45:40,874
Stuart, hello. Long time.

839
00:45:40,898 --> 00:45:42,514
Sorry, I haven't responded till now.

840
00:45:42,538 --> 00:45:44,434
We received your request

841
00:45:44,458 --> 00:45:46,154
and we're starting the process
of determining

842
00:45:46,178 --> 00:45:47,794
who will represent the Chamberlains

843
00:45:47,818 --> 00:45:50,554
in terms of media engagements
and interviews and such.

844
00:45:50,578 --> 00:45:52,114
Of course, of course.

845
00:45:52,138 --> 00:45:54,074
Just one point of confusion.

846
00:45:54,098 --> 00:45:56,834
We received another proposal
from the News at Six

847
00:45:56,858 --> 00:45:59,418
for an extended interview
with Helen Norville.

848
00:46:01,618 --> 00:46:05,938
It came with a very compelling
letter and an offer of $100,000.

849
00:46:09,178 --> 00:46:10,794
I see.

850
00:46:10,818 --> 00:46:14,458
Is your proposal in conjunction
with that or separate?

851
00:46:15,978 --> 00:46:17,818
No, no, I'm, uh...

852
00:46:19,778 --> 00:46:21,394
Are you sure about that amount?

853
00:46:21,418 --> 00:46:24,298
100,000, yes.

854
00:46:27,738 --> 00:46:29,914
And that offer's been made to Lindy?

855
00:46:29,938 --> 00:46:31,714
No, not yet.

856
00:46:31,738 --> 00:46:33,818
She's still settling in.

857
00:46:35,498 --> 00:46:37,378
Sorry, Stuart, we, um...

858
00:46:38,378 --> 00:46:40,634
we seem to have some wires crossed.

859
00:46:40,658 --> 00:46:42,114
I, uh...

860
00:46:42,138 --> 00:46:44,034
Let me get to the bottom of it.

861
00:46:44,058 --> 00:46:45,554
Alright.

862
00:46:45,578 --> 00:46:47,218
Thanks for the call.

863
00:46:50,658 --> 00:46:52,378
What did he say?

864
00:46:54,618 --> 00:46:56,738
Never mind.

865
00:47:04,458 --> 00:47:06,258
Back in an hour, darling.

866
00:47:23,378 --> 00:47:25,338
Clive.
Geoff.

867
00:47:26,658 --> 00:47:28,234
This is unexpected.

868
00:47:28,258 --> 00:47:29,778
Thanks for meeting me, Clive.

869
00:47:30,858 --> 00:47:32,394
Uh, there's a pub
about five minutes...

870
00:47:32,418 --> 00:47:33,778
I won't keep you long.

871
00:47:36,258 --> 00:47:37,794
You're not jumping ship, are you?

872
00:47:37,818 --> 00:47:40,154
You gonna join me at 60 Minutes?

873
00:47:40,178 --> 00:47:42,634
I have four pieces
of information for you.

874
00:47:42,658 --> 00:47:46,554
Information that you absolutely
didn't hear from me.

875
00:47:46,578 --> 00:47:50,874
Now, Lindy and Michael Chamberlain
are open to an interview.

876
00:47:50,898 --> 00:47:52,034
We know.

877
00:47:52,058 --> 00:47:55,458
And the Chamberlains have great
respect for your man, Ray Martin.

878
00:47:56,578 --> 00:47:59,354
Other outlets
have been making cash offers.

879
00:47:59,378 --> 00:48:00,874
Is that right?

880
00:48:00,898 --> 00:48:03,058
The bidding is now at 100,000.

881
00:48:04,418 --> 00:48:07,634
If that needs to be exceeded, I know
there are plenty of print outlets

882
00:48:07,658 --> 00:48:11,954
that would be keen to partner with
a journalist of Ray Martin's calibre.

883
00:48:11,978 --> 00:48:13,658
Why are you telling ME this?

884
00:48:17,258 --> 00:48:18,954
Hey, Geoff?

885
00:48:18,978 --> 00:48:20,834
Just come and have one drink.

886
00:48:20,858 --> 00:48:22,498
Another night, Clive.

887
00:48:42,018 --> 00:48:44,818
You two, in here. Den, you as well.

888
00:48:49,058 --> 00:48:51,058
The Chamberlain call
has been cancelled.

889
00:48:53,458 --> 00:48:54,514
What?

890
00:48:54,538 --> 00:48:56,234
Didn't give a reason.
They just said it was off.

891
00:48:56,258 --> 00:48:58,874
What? Who did - their lawyer?
Not a lawyer.

892
00:48:58,898 --> 00:49:01,554
An assistant to Mr Harry M. Miller.

893
00:49:01,578 --> 00:49:03,474
Well, they have to at least
show her my letter.

894
00:49:03,498 --> 00:49:05,018
No, they don't.

895
00:49:06,018 --> 00:49:08,154
Well, I'm... I'm gonna
talk to the lawyer directly.

896
00:49:08,178 --> 00:49:09,234
Is this...?
No.

897
00:49:09,258 --> 00:49:10,554
I'm gonna call...
Helen...

898
00:49:10,578 --> 00:49:13,298
It's not gonna do any bloody good.
I'm gonna try. I'm just gonna try.

899
00:49:14,258 --> 00:49:16,097
Do you think they've accepted
another offer?

900
00:49:17,099 --> 00:49:19,898
Oh, well, I've heard something from
our affiliate covering Mount Isa.

901
00:49:21,178 --> 00:49:22,834
He said that, uh...

902
00:49:22,858 --> 00:49:25,617
Ray Martin arrived this morning
in a helicopter.

903
00:49:38,658 --> 00:49:40,098
Morning, all.

904
00:49:44,858 --> 00:49:46,274
Morning, Cheryl.

905
00:49:46,298 --> 00:49:47,578
Love the hat.

906
00:49:48,978 --> 00:49:51,698
Current run sheet, Mr Walters.
Thank you so much, Noelene.

907
00:49:57,178 --> 00:49:58,794
Welcome home.

908
00:49:58,818 --> 00:50:00,794
Oh, thanks, Geoff.

909
00:50:00,818 --> 00:50:02,354
Tough beat up there, isn't it?

910
00:50:02,378 --> 00:50:03,954
Yeah.

911
00:50:03,978 --> 00:50:06,618
We thought we had an exclusive
for the bulletin, but...

912
00:50:08,298 --> 00:50:10,178
Well, I'm sure you gave it your all.

913
00:50:14,378 --> 00:50:16,594
I'm scheduled to read the lead.

914
00:50:16,618 --> 00:50:19,858
Perhaps, given you've been away,
you should do it.

915
00:50:21,258 --> 00:50:23,858
Really?
Yes.

916
00:50:25,058 --> 00:50:26,794
Well, that's very kind of you, Geoff.

917
00:50:26,818 --> 00:50:28,114
Well...

918
00:50:28,138 --> 00:50:30,178
I have my moments.
