Storyline
Lydia Wells realises that politician Alistair Lauderback is heading for Hokitika travelling overland and could meet up with Crosbie Wells, thereby finding out that she and Francis Carver had stolen his ship and his gold, the result being prison sentences for both of them. Walter Moodie arrives in town and encounters a council of men holding a secret meeting, and tells one of them that he has uncovered a secret on the ship he arrived on, the Godspeed. Carver gets to Crosbie Wells' cabin and forces him to drink poisoned alcohol. Written by EdinaJambo
I don't think I understand any of this show. I tried as hard as I could. Every now and again I thought I might have gotten it figured out, but then.... Would have loved to love this show but was impossible.
