Rosemary Hunter lies in her darkened chalet and hears the sirens screeching towards the motel.  She goes to the window and see's the flashing lights of the ambulance.  She pulls the blinds shut.

 

In the office, David is taken away on a stretcher.  Barbara attempts to follow the stretcher but Detective Constable Derek Hardiman stops her and tells her that she will have to stay and answer some questions.  Barbara rushes past him.

 

Detective Inspector Lindsay arrives in the office and asks Constable Hardiman if everyone who should be questioned is still at the Motel.  Hardiman tells him that a few of the waitresses went home in tears.  Inspector Lindsay asks Lloyd Munro if David Hunter stands much chance.  "Well he's lost a lot of blood," says Lloyd.

 

Glenda Brownlow arrives home and sits in silence on the settee next to Kath, who asks her what is wrong.  Glenda starts sobbing and tells her mother and father that something awful has happened at work.  "Mr Hunter's been shot.  They don't expect him to live," she says, close to tears.  "He's young and strong.  He'll be alright," says Arthur Brownlow.  "He must have been lying there ages before anyone knew," says Glenda. 

 

Inspector Lindsay joins Meg and Sandy in the Motel sitting room.  "I understand you discovered Mr Hunter.  Can you think of any reason why this should have happened?" he asks.  Meg says no.  Inspector Lindsay asks Sandy for a list of everone who was at the party who could have had access to the office.

 

Lloyd Munro goes to Rosemary Hunter's chalet and finds her lying, in darkness, on the bed.  He turns on the light and she puts up a hand to shade her eyes.  "You know, don't you Rosemary?  About David," he says.  "I saw lights flashing, and noises," answers Rosemary.  "That was for David.  When did it happen Rosemary.  The time might be very important.  You shot him.  Where's the gun.  What have you done with it?," asks Lloyd.  Rosemary turns away.  "Questions will be asked.  They will have to be answered.  You can't turn away from them," says Lloyd.  "They can ask what they want.  I haven't got a thing to tell them," says Rosemary, firmly.  "Barbara Brady didn't love David, but I loved him.  That's why I couldn't let him go," says Rosemary.  "Are you telling me you did it?" asks Lloyd.  "What?" asks Rosemary.

 

The following morning, Detective Constable Hardiman and Inspector Lindsay go to Rosemary Hunter's chalet.  "Good morning," she says cheerfully.  Inspector Lindsay asks her where she was between ten and eleven o'clock last evening, and Rosemary tells him that she was in her chalet.  Lindsay asks her if she attended the party at the Motel and Rosemary says yes, but she left early.  "I was bored.  I expect David was bored too," she says.  Inspector Lindsay unfolds the note Rosemary wrote to David the previous evening, and which she asked Glenda to deliver to David.  "'I need you one more time,'" he reads.  "Did you write this?" he asks, handing the note to Rosemary.  "It does look like my writing.  I suppose I must have," says Rosemary.

 

Diane and Jill talk in reception about the previous nights events.  "The thing is.  I should have seen it coming," says Diane.  She tells Jill that she went to Rosemary's chalet last night and she seemed strange. 

 

Arthur Brownlow shows Kath a holiday brochure and suggests they go on a good holiday.  Kath says it's no use as it wouldn't change things.  "It's this thing with Mr Hunter that's got you thinking, isn't it?" asks Kath.  "Alive one minute, gone the next," says Arthur.  "The poor man's still got a chance," says Kath.  "Yes, but I haven't," says Arthur.

 

Meg tells Jill that she phoned the hospital and there's still no change.  "I'd like to be there with him," says Meg.  Adam Chance joins them in the sitting room.  "I read about David in the papers, and came as soon as possible," says Adam.  "Is it bad?" he asks.  "Yes," replies Meg.

 

Later, Meg phones the hospital.  "I'm enquiring about a Mister David Hunter.  No change.  Thank you," she says.

 

Ron Brownlow gives Arthur a bottle of whisky and Arthur thanks him.  "You deserve it," says Ron.  Arthur tells his son that he has been thinking about hwne Ron was in the Merchant Navy.  Ron says those were the best days of his life, and Arthur tells him that he should go back to it if he liked it so much.  Ron says he is happy in his present job and besides he has a girlfriend.  "You're not thinking of getting married are you?" asks Arthur, and Ron says not at the moment, but he would like to settle down some day. 

 

Adam Chance tells Meg that he will be booking two chalets for J. Henry Pollard and his daughter Miranda.  Meg guesses they are important.  "I need to impress them," says Adam.  Lloyd and Barbara join them in the office and Lloyd says they have just come from the hospital.  Meg asks how David is and Lloyd tells her there is no change.  "I've been telling Barbara that it's a good sign.  At least there's no deterioration.  I'm trying to make her look on the bright side," says Lloyd.  "Looking at him just lying there, the bright side seems just a little far away," says Barbara, with tears running down her face.
