| Summary |
*Adult Themes, Coarse Language, Sexual References, Violence*After three successful telemovies, Jack Irish (Guy Pearce) returns in an expanded six-part series which takes us from the cultural atoll of Fitzroy to the bustling city of Manila in the Philippines, where Jack's on-again-off-again lover Linda Hillier (Marta Dusseldorp) has landed a job as a foreign correspondent for an Australian newspaper.As Jack and Linda say their final goodbye, it is clear that he has learned little about life, love or women. In the wake of Linda's departure, Jack continues his important business on home soil - collecting debts, sanding cabinets, and seeing a man about a racehorse. But his fear of commitment is about to be well and truly tested by the arrival of Sarah Longmore (Claudia Karvan).As a new day dawns in Melbourne, Jack Irish finds himself staring down the barrel of a brand new case. After an ostensibly random summons by one Travis Dilthey (Jeremy Stanford), Jack is engaged to track down Travis' missing brother Wayne (Dan Hamill), a former jail bird but still a very trouble soul. All this comes hot on the heels of Jack being abandoned by Linda.Jack goes hard on finding Dilthey, but there's something badly awry with the case. With the help of the irrepressibly grouchy homicide detective Barry Tregear (Shane Jacobson), Jack tracks the ex-con to a motel room where he's hiding, gun in hand, with his equally troubled girlfriend Janene Ballich (Peta Brady).When Jack phones Travis Dilthey with the whereabouts of his brother, a hardened killer called Stedman (Robert Morgan) turns up at the motel. Wayne is shot dead and Jack ends up framed for the murder. And while it seems as though it is curtains for Jack, the mysterious Sarah Longmore (Claudia Karvan) suddenly arrives at the police station with an undeniable alibi for Jack's whereabouts. The only issue is: Jack has never met Sarah before in his life.Safely outside the cop shop, a semblance of clarity emerges: Sarah needs Jack's help because she believes he's the best bet in finding her missing sister, Tina (Brooke Satchwell).Starring: Guy PearcePRODUCTION DETAILS:Producers: Ian Collie and Andrew Knight.
