Salt Lake

Episode 1.03
Thu, May 12, 2016
Written by Peter Gawler
Directed by Tony Tilse

The next cold case on Eve's list takes her to the salt lakes of South Australia. She is desperate for some trace of her killer, proof that he really exists, that he's out there somewhere… but the trail has well and truly gone cold.

Realising Eve is hunting him, Mick Taylor puts into play a murderous game of cat and mouse. When push comes to shove Eve isn't sure she can kill him in cold blood.

The Madonna Café is the only fuel within four hundred kilometres of anything out in the salt pans, and everyone passes through eventually, so Eve stops in to recharge and refuel while she plots her next move. Hot on her tail is the Territory cop, Sullivan, still intent on bringing her to safety, and not far behind him are the outlaw brothers, Kane and Ginger, out to teach her a lesson. And just behind them Mick Taylor…

Broken-down by the side of the road, Eve can't believe her luck when she sees the familiar blue truck driving by! Realising Mick hasn't seen her she knows it's her chance to catch him by surprise and kill him… but when the moment comes she can't go through with it.

Meanwhile, Kane has sniffed her out and jumps her at her bush campsite. He ties her up with a plan to cart her back to Kutyukutyu as his wife, but Eve fights back and shoots him dead in self-defence.

Mick happens on the crime scene after Eve has fled. Too late he discovers the identity of the broken down camper — and he doesn't plan to let her escape him twice. He sets a trap for her a day's drive south in Opalville…
