Synopsis[]
A concierge is stabbed and pushed to his death from the rooftop of the Grand Hotel, an establishment that was once a part of Melbourne high society but has now fallen on hard times.

Plot[]
Cold Open[]
It is night time at the Grand Hotel. Frank McNabb runs onto the roof. He pulls a bundle of money from a satchel and tosses it down a laundry chute. In the basement, Enid finds the money. Back on the roof, Eugene walks slowly toward McNabb, brandishing a knife. He demands "the money" then pushes McNabb off the roof.
