In the preface to Ultimatum Leticia gets you up to speed with the context for the story. Without it, the importance of the moment in time captured by this narrative will be lost to you.

In Part 02, Graham and Bolte feel each other's arguments: Perkin is there for a reason. But what is it? Meanwhile, Ronald Ryan holds hope that he may still be pardoned.

In Part 3, Ronald Ryan is pondering his status and whether or not he will be the last man hanged in Australia. We meet his priest, Father Brosnan, hear from another prisoner on his opinions about Ryan's actions. And we learn the reason why Perkin has come to visit Bolte. It's a deal. But what kind?

In the finale of Ultimatum, Henry Bolte considers Perkin's deal. They appear to be wildly different men, from wildly different worlds. But are they really more like the same person? We know that Ronald Ryan hanged, so what happened and why? Listen in to find out.

This postscript tells you a bit about how Ultimatum came to be a podcast, when it was never intended that way in the beginning. In it, I talk about how the story found me, the steps along the way, and for how long this story has been sitting in my drawer (and why)!
