Jack Irish: Dead Point Page #5

---

Sienna will see you out.

You're not the family lawyer.

Robbie didn't have any family.

What do you lot want from him now?

He's dead.

Ah, Sienna, is there somewhere

we can talk privately?

Not here.

Well, I'm a member of a club myself,

actually.

It's pretty exclusive. It's the

Prince of Prussia, over in Fitzroy.

I could definitely leave your name

on the door.

And here's my...

Race No.3 on the card

from Moonee Valley,

1,100 metres the trip.

Caveat Lector is the firm favourite,

with good money for Hairy Canary

and Run Romeo Run.

Racing now. Dixicano has

got the best of the start.

Thistlewaite and Pooka's Girl

missed the kick by

a length-and-a-half.

As they race past the 600m mark,

the favourite,

Caveat Lector leads clearly.

He's a length-and-a-half in front.

Boozy Lunch is chasing from Dixicano

and a margin away,

back in the field to Hairy Canary

and Run Romeo Run best of the rest.

But Dixicano going after Caveat

Lector in a tooth and nail struggle.

They're two lengths in front

and Mr Renoir's starting to run on,

and then came Boozy Lunch.

It's Mr Renoir out wide,

the surprise packet.

He's moved up to Caveat Lector.

Mr Renoir's taken the lead.

Dixicano's riding on

but it's going to be

the interstate rider, Mr Renoir.

And Mr Renoir scores a dashing win.

Real upset here.

Mr Renoir, the favourite...

In a real surprise,

Mr Renoir has come storming down

the outside,

just passed Caveat Lector.

Looked like he was going to hang on.

Mr Renoir has come rocketing down

the outside and won.

And in the end,

won pretty comfortably.

Don't be a hero, b*tch.

Hand it over.

Don't know what you're talking about.

I've got it. Let's go.

That'll do. She's done. Come on!

Come on! Come on!

My favourite moment

is when it lifts off.

Pat says I have a pathological

obsession with hot air.

Occupational hazard.

I notice you're not carrying

a red book.

No. I, ah...

I got close.

I saw someone coming out

of Robbie's flat with it

but they got away.

God help me.

You're gonna have to tell me

exactly what's in that book, Colin.

It's a photo album.

A photo album.

Of what value?

How do you value a career, Jack?

I can't say I'm proud of myself.

Look, just to let you know,

I've been to The Snug.

Those women are... pretty beautiful.

Not hard to imagine...

It wasn't a woman.

Ever tried to quell a craving, Jack?

Spend your life

keeping the devil in the bottle?

Robbie said he was into photography,

black and white.

Arty stuff.

He said he wanted a few keepsakes,

so...

I gave him my old camera.

Ros lent us her penthouse,

her love nest as she calls it,

not that I think it's ever seen
