Episode 3:

It was a beautiful morning. I was standing at the front door of the hotel when Dr Cotton joined me. His arm was bandaged. His face was swollen. He looked very pale. 'Morning, Dr Cotton,' I said. 'What's happened to you?' 'It was an accident,' Cotton replied. 'I was crossing the road outside the lab. A car knocked me down. It didn't stop.'

'What bad luck,' I said. 'Do you think...' But Cotton interrupted me.

'Where's that driver?' He looked at his watch. 'it's eight o'clock. He should be here.'

'Lovely day,' I said. Cotton looked around the hotel grounds, which were bright with spring flowers. He sighted.

'Yes, it is. And I don't have time to enjoy it.'

'You have an interesting job,' I said. I hoped he would tell me about it, but he didn't reply.

'I mean, you travel a lot. That must be pretty exciting.'

'A bit too exciting at times,' Cotton said. I wondered whether he was referring to his accident. Was it an accident, I wondered.

'Dangerous is it?' I asked. Cotton hesitated, then he said, 'Yes, I'm afraid it is dangerous. As a matter of fact I'm very worried. Perhaps I should go to the police'.

'There's a Police Station in the next block,' I said. 'It's not far.' Cotton thought for a moment and then he said. 'No. It'll be all right. I'm leaving tomorrow.'

A long white car pulled into the hotel driveway. 'Hmm. About time,' said Cotton.

I stepped forward to open the car door. The driver was looking straight ahead. He was small and red-faced, and he wore a cap. But I recognised him immediately. He was the man I had noticed before, watching Cotton's movements from the coffee shop across the road. I watched thoughtfully as the car drove off. Something fishy was going on, and I didn't like it.

DOROTHY: Oh yes, I know.

Dialogue 3:

DOROTHY: What about your Mum?

RUTH: She lived in Darwin when she was young. I remember her telling me about the hot weather up there.

RUTH: No, that's my grandfather. He used to live in Ballarat. He had a shop here.

DOROTHY: My grandparents came from Ballarat, too. My grandfather was a miner.

Dialogue 4:

RUTH: What's this building here? Look... in this one?

DOROTHY: Oh that's my old primary school. It was called... oh dear, I've forgotten. I went there for a couple of years when we came down from Sydney. After I'd finished there I went to Ballarat High School, and later I went to University.

Episode 2:

G'day. Do you like mystery stories? Well, this is a story about mystery and death, and I know all about it because I was involved, as you'll hear. Let me introduce myself. My name's Josepth Moon. I'm fifty-nine, and I'm a hotel porter. I live in Melbourne. Do you know where that is? Yep, in Australia.

G'day! I'm a friendly sort of chap, and I like talking to people. Henry Cotton did not want to talk about his work. I soon discovered that. But he did tell me about his family. It happened like this. My daughter Mandy used to work at the university. She's a clever girl, and I'm very pround of her!

Well...one afternoon Mandy came to the hotel after work so we could go home together. We were just leaving when Cotton arrived. I helped him with his luggage, and I introduced Mandy. "I have a daughter, too," Cotton said. "She went to school in Melbourne, and when we went to Hong Kong she went to university there. Then she went to America to study, and now she's a scientist."

"Does she work with you then?" - Mandy asked.

"Yes, she does. She's doing very well." I could see that Cotton was proud of his daughter, too. He took a photo from his briefcase and showed it to us.

"That's Diana" - he said. "She's twenty-eight now." There were two people in the photo. The woman was beautiful. She had long fair hair and very blue eyes. There was a young man in the photo, too. He looked about thirty. "Is this Diana's husband?" Mandy asked, pointing to the young man.

"No," said Cotton sadly. "That was my son, my only son. He died last year."

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said. "How awful for you."

Cotton put the photo back in his briefcase.

"Yes,' he said. "His car ran off the road. They said it was an accident, but..."' We waited, but Cotton did not say any more. Mandy and I said goodbye, and walked to the bus stop. It was then that I noticed a small, red-faced man in the coffee shop across the road. I had seen him before. He was watching the hotel. I had an idea he was watching Henry Cotton, and I wondered why.

Episode 4:

I didn't see Cotton again for a few months. I didn't see the small red-faced man, either. Then, one cold autumn day, Cotton arrived at the hotel again. He looked pale and anxious. He had lost weight.

'Good morning, Sir,' I said as I carried his suitcase to Reception.

'Good to see you again.' Cotton smiled, but he looked tense. The next morning I was told that Cotton wanted to see me in his room.

This was unusual. I took the lift to the seventh floor, knocked at his door and waited. I heard him unlock the door and slide back the bolt. 'Ah, Joe...' he said, without smiling. 'Come in.' He closed the door behind me, and locked it.

'I need your help.' I was surprised, but I said, 'Sure, Dr Cotton. What is it?' He took a key from his pocket and went to the desk near the window. He unlocked a drawer and took out a black leather briefcase. It had a combination lock.

'Do you think you could look after this for me?' he asked.

'Of course. No worries. I'll put it in my safe.'

'Are you sure it will be safe there?'

'Of course!' I said again.

'Good.' Cotton looked relieved, but he added, 'Would you mind not telling anyone about this, Joe?'

'That's fine, Dr Cotton. Don't you worry about it. I'll take the case down straight away, and give you a receipt.'

I took the briefcase to the safe in my small office. No-one saw me put it there. Then I went back to Cotton's room and gave him a receipt and a small numbered disk. I remember the number. It was eight-six-two. Next morning when Dr Cotton left the hotel he was carrying a briefcase. It was a black leather briefcase, and it was exactly the same as the one in my safe.

Episode 5:

People are very interesting aren't they? I think so. I'm very curious, you know. I like to know how people tick. Dr Cotton interested me. I wanted to know more about his job. And I want to know what was in that briefcase. Why was it locked away in the safe? And why was Dr Cotton so secretive?

It must be something very important. I talked to my wife about it. She said that it was probably full of gold, or banknotes. She said Dr Cotton was probably a criminal. I didn't believe that, though. He didn't look like a criminal. My wife asked me what a criminal looked like, and of course I didn't know! One day I took the briefcase out of the safe and I looked at it again. I felt the weight of it. I shook it. I turned it over and examined it carefully. But I still didn't have any idea what was inside.

One day Mandy came home from the university with the university newspaper. There was a story about Cotton's work. The paper said that Cotton hoped to announce some results of his research soon. And it said, 'This is a race which our team will win.' Wasn't that strange? Why did they call it a race? I asked Mandy about it, and she said that some other people were probably working on the same research.

It was a race to make the discovery first. I thought that very odd. But Mandy said that the research would earn a great deal of money. So that was it! Cotton's rivals wanted to stop his research. The next time I saw Cotton, he looked much happier, and he had some news. His daughter Diana was coming to Melbourne. I was pleased to see him looking so well. I thought everything must be all right after all. But it was wrong, as I'll explain to you next time.
