"The Empty Case" Day 3: Doctor's Office and More Dungeon Madness

Today we began our shoot with Cruickshank interrogating Dr. Bewley.
"So...rumour has it your broke. What exactly were you planning on bidding with?" - Cruickshank.
After some delicious Thai and a quick shot with Mr. Underwood, "The deal's off, Bewley!" we climbed down to the dungeon again to re-shoot the scene where Jessica first meets Cruickshank (our lights died prematurely last time, and it gets a tad bit freaky in the dark: "Are you moving?" "Moving in as a matter of fact. I'd prefer a room with a view, but the rent is wonderfully cheap here."
For those of you uninformed regarding the history of the Sydney College of the Arts campus of the University of Sydney (where Brad spends most of his class time), it was originally a mental asylum/hospital for those convicts from England deemed too "unsafe to wander the streets of Sydney" back in the 1800's. The dungeon was a holding cell for those who had no hope...even after labotomy treatments. They would be brought in from off the boat, and stuck down there till they died. What a wonderful place to make a movie. (It's even better when you turn out the lights and take a torch (flashlight for those American's reading this) around all the caverns! ooooooooo!)
