Coroner (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Eyes Up - full transcript

Jenny and Donovan help a young girl who seeks the truth about her father's death.

- I think we should get
grandpa a tracker.

- I just, I-I don't know how
much longer he's gonna be able

To do things on his own, ross.
- But I-I didn't mean

Like a leash, mom,
I just meant like, an app.

Dr. Cheng: Your biopsy shows
that you have

A solitary spinal plasmacytoma,

A low tumour
in the lumbar spine.

You'll need to start a regular
course of radiation,

As soon as possible.

- Yeah, will I,
will I be able to work?

Liam: "I'm sorry it took
so many months,



I was pretty messed up
for a while.

I'm in a good place right now,

And I miss you."

Donovan: What does this mean?

Dr. Cheng: Fatigue, nausea.

But you're free to work

We don't know how you'll

You might need someone

Okay, so you found him

- Have your security guards
been experiencing

Any problems lately?

We've had materials stolen.

Last month,
we had 10 generators stolen,

And now,
another five last night.

It's chronic,

Could've been killed

I-I'm trying to pre-sell

- So, tell me,

What inspired you to come today?

Thought you said getting
your portrait done

Wasn't your thing?

- Um...

Let's just say I decided
to try a new thing today.

- And how come today?
A new thing.

- I see a lot doing this job.

Certain days, it just hits you
a little harder than others.

You don't know what's gonna
take you out of this life,

Or when.

a risk.

Maybe be immortalized.
