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.
