(FOOTSTEPS ECHO)

I think someone just killed my boss.

Gideon.

There's not much doubt
about the cause of death -

ligature strangulation.

Time of death?

About to do an anal probe.

Hmm?
(CHUCKLES) Lucky you.

What an end for the great
Blake Johnson.

You know him?
Knew OF him.

Adult Entertainment Awards -
Best Girl on Girl.

You've never heard of
aliceflowers.com?

Best Solo Female.

The guy's the most successful
porn producer in Australia.

Used no male actors,
only natural women.

Revolutionised the industry.

And somebody had the nerve to stream
his murder on his own internet site.

Live?
No, not live.

The killer uploaded it
from the victim's own computer

to the Members Only section
at 2:00am.

Blake's business manager saw it
a few hours later, called it in.

Detectives.
Duncan.

Looks like he'd been drugged.

Most likely Rohypnol.
He looked pretty drowsy on the video.

Neighbours didn't see
or hear anything?

Well, it seems almost
soundproofed in here.

Whoo!

OK. I've got a rough time of death.
Between 10:00pm and midnight.

We'll do a tox screen
to confirm the mystery drug.

Has anybody notified his partner?

I'll do the death knock.

Thanks, Jen.

In the meantime, what do we know
about the woman who called it in?

Her name is Myra Rawlings.
Blake's business manager.

So why were you looking
at the website this morning?

Um, part of my job's to check
the members' section first thing.

Make sure nothing inappropriate's
been uploaded overnight.

I still can't believe it.

Members can upload their own films?
Yeah.

It's mostly just
pieces to the camera

talking about which girls they like.

Occasionally there's something
a bit off-colour.

The video of Blake...
How long did you work for him?

About 10 years.

Was he a good boss?
He remembered my birthday.

Gave me a day off when I needed it.

I don't really have anyone
to compare him with.

But, yeah, I liked working with him.

How well did you know him
outside work?

I was his business manager.
We had a professional relationship.

Though I imagine
in this kind of work,

those lines could become blurred?

Uh, no, there were no blurred lines.
We ran a business.

So what were you doing
before you worked at Alice Flowers?

I spent most of the '90s trying
to make it as an actress in LA.

Really? Might I have seen you
in anything?

Not unless you frequent XXX stores.
Huh.

You were a porn star?

Yeah. I made a few
hardcore porn films.

And they treated us
like animals on the set.

It's not a good time in my life.

So how come you're still involved
in the industry?

Well, it wasn't my intention,
but when I got back to Australia

Blake contacted me and he...

..I dunno, he convinced me he was
trying to do something different.

Different? How?

Alice Flowers isn't
your typical porn site.

We use female directors.
We use all female crew.

It's an ethically run,
empowering site.

There's nothing predatory about it.

We're the most popular
subscriber site in the country.

Is there anyone who wouldn't be happy
about Blake's success?

Well, obviously our competitors
aren't thrilled

and then there's
the morally outraged,

most of whom
haven't even seen the site.

We'll need to go through your files,

list people who may have held
a grudge against Blake.

Yeah, sure. Sure.

Oh, my God. Sarah.

She's at Blake's beach house.
Does she know?

That's him.

Please tell me he didn't suffer.

He had a sedative and a large
quantity of alcohol in his system.

He wouldn't have had a clue
about what was happening.

And... and somebody filmed themselves
killing him.

Why would they do that?

We were hoping you might
help us answer that question.

I have no idea.

But at least that means you'll be
able to catch them, right?

If they were on the video?
Maybe.

It's hard to tell whether
it's a man or a woman

by the way
they've disguised themselves.

But we have people studying the clip

for anything that might reveal
the killer's identity.

(TEARFULLY) Baby...

Sarah, we're gonna
need to interview you

in a more formal setting.

DUNCAN: What were you doing
in Portsea?

Builders doing a reno
on our beach house

and I... drove down yesterday
to see how it was all going.

Sarah, what time did you
leave the warehouse?

I guess around 5:30. I got to
Portsea around 7:30 last night.

Can you think of anyone who might
want to harm your boyfriend?

No. No-one.

Your picture's
all over Blake's office.

Yeah. I'm Summer Breeze.
I'm on the site.

What about the other girls? Do any
of them have problems with Blake?

Not really.
Most of the girls love him.

Most of the girls?

We had the occasional falling out.
What about?

A girl films something
that she regrets later

and Blake refuses to take it
off the site.

Why does he refuse?
He's a good... good businessman.

And once he pays for something,
he milks it for every cent.

So that must make the women involved
feel pretty upset.

One... one woman really lost it
with him a few days ago.

What happened?

She came around to our place
and started yelling and screaming

and throwing stuff around.

Because he wouldn't take
her film down?

Yeah. She said
it was gonna ruin her career.

Do you have a name?

Well, the girls don't use
their real names.

She's listed on the site
as Juicy Jamie.

Found some new tricks?

Um, yeah. It's research.

It's work-related research.
Yeah, of course it is.

It's Juicy Jamie's only video.

It's been on the site
almost four years.

The whip looks familiar.

DUNCAN: Rhys,
make sure you email me that link.

Yeah, alright.

You guys are loving this case,
aren't you?

Could be footage
of the murder weapon.

Yeah, sure.

I'll give the killer this -

they've done a grade-A job
of concealing their identity.

I can't even tell
which hand they prefer.

Whoa. What the hell is that?
Some sort of latex sex scene.

Hey. I found Jamie's surname
in the Alice Flowers file.

It's Priest. Jamie Priest.
I'm running a check on her now.

I don't understand why people
shell out for this stuff

when there's so much free porn
on the net.

You'd know all about that,
would you, Oxford?

I'm surprised
how many girls go on camera.

Some women actually
find it empowering.

Yeah. It's not something I'd do.
It's not really my thing either.

But I see how some women
would be cool with it.

(COMPUTER DINGS)
You even know how to mute that?

Shut up. Man, they've got to stop
sending me this stuff.

Viagra news?
It's worse.

It's the Women in Blue dinner.

(READS) "Celebrate the great work
of women in the service.

"Charity fundraiser..."
Blah, blah, blah.

This is your Aunty Bernie's idea.

I hate those ladies' nights.

Hey, I think I found out

why Jamie Priest is so keen
to take her film down.

Constable Priest?

Yeah?
Can we have a chat?

Sure.
Just you, Jamie.

Can I help you?
Is this you?

Where did you get that?
Tell us about Alice Flowers.

Look, I didn't do anything illegal.

I was, um... 18.

I was short on cash.

It was just meant to be one photo,
and, um...

..then more cash
was thrown on the table,

and, um, they said,
"What about a filmed striptease?"

And then they said,
"What about some girl-on-girl...

"bondage?"

Then you became police. Realised
you had to get rid of the skeleton.

I love being in this job.

If that film got out,

could you imagine how bad
things would get for me?

I think the Braid have changed,
Jamie.

It's not the Braid.
It's the guys I work with.

They'd never let me live it down.
They'd never respect me.

My life at work would be miserable.

I've been trying to get Blake
Johnson to take my film off the site

since I was at the Academy.

So you confronted him?
Yeah. A couple of nights ago.

And what happened?

Blake was even more arrogant
than usual.

Said he was gonna change my
Alice Flowers name to 'Pornocop'.

And what did you do?

I've never lost it like that before,

but I... I started abusing Blake,

and, um...

..just throwing his trophies
around the room.

Is that what this is about?

Has... has Blake pressed charges?

We're Homicide, Jamie.
Blake Johnson's been murdered.

Oh, my God. I had no idea.

Do you have an alibi
for last night, Jamie?

Do I need one?
Yeah.

Well, I was having dinner with
my friend Annie. You can call her.

We will.

Just don't tell anyone in the job
about the film, please.

She must have known that film
would come back to bite her.

Yeah, but we've all done things
at 18 that come back to haunt us.

I did things last week I regret,

but I'm smart enough
to keep it off the net.

So what happened to
porn empowering women?

Well, not if they're ashamed of it.
Aha.

I just don't think
Jamie's our killer.

Any other leads yet?
Good timing.

I've just been going through
the text messages of Blake Johnson

over the last couple of weeks
leading up to his death.

Mm-hm.

This guy had two other women
on the go.

I wonder what his girlfriend
knows about that.

Part of Blake's job
was to bring in new talent.

He hit bars and clubs,
looking for attractive young women.

And, um... more often than not,
he did a bit of flirting.

How did that make you feel?

I didn't love it,
but I couldn't get too upset.

That's how he met me.

Was Blake sleeping with anyone else?

No. He was all talk.

(READS) "Katy, let's end tonight
with a bang and not a whimper."

That's pretty suggestive talk.

It's just how he related to women,
you know,

and, um, it was a two-way street.

I get plenty of male attention.
How did Blake feel about that?

He loved that I was
the most popular girl on the site.

Most popular girl.

Any downsides to that?

Like what?

I'm very proud of my films.

They're incredibly tasteful,
and I'm very good at what I do.

You said you get
plenty of male attention.

Does it ever get obsessive?

Sarah?

There is this one guy.

A stalker?

No, he's just a crazy fan,

but it's not the first time
that it's happened.

This one feels a little different.
Why?

He leaves me these notes
and puts them in my letterbox,

and on my car window.

It's a little creepy.
We'll need to see them.

Have you contacted the local police
about this?

I don't even know what he looks like.
What could I tell them?

So you have no idea
as to his identity?

No. I mean, all I know is that his
notes are always signed "Love, G."

There's one Alice Flowers member

who spends most of his waking life
watching Sarah's films.

His name's Gavin Bakowski.
Gavin. Well, that fits with the 'G'.

I'll run a police check.

Do you know there are more than
15,000 paying subscribers

to this site?

Blake Johnson must have been
raking it in.

And what percentage of the profits
do the women get, do you reckon?

Bakowski's got form. Stalking.
Really?

Assault - the husband
of an Alice Flowers girl.

So he's obsessed with Sarah Summers,

and he's got history
of violence against partners.

Let's get ourselves a warrant.

Let's see if this Gavin Bakowski
owns himself a sex suit.

Yes?
Mr Bakowski?

Yeah.
Detectives Mapplethorpe and Freeman.

We have a warrant
to search your house

in relation to the murder
of Blake Johnson.

I don't know anything about a murder.

Excuse me. I have to go to work.
Mr Bakowski.

It'd be a hell of a lot easier
if you actually just cooperated.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Then you've got
nothing to worry about, then.

There's nothing in there.

Hey, Duncan.

Whoa.

It's not how it looks.

Really.
Really?

Looks like you're a sick bastard,
Gavin.

I'd like you to come with us.

I'm a fan of Sarah's.
There's nothing illegal about that.

No. But it's illegal to stalk Sarah.

And it's illegal
to steal her possessions.

I found those.
No, you didn't find these, Gavin.

What did you do?
Did you go through her bin?

Her bin was on the nature strip.

I didn't break in.
I didn't steal anything.

So why did you take them?
I just wanted to be close to her.

Having them in the house
makes me feel like she's with me.

Keeps me from getting so lonely.
(SCOFFS)

Now Blake's out of the picture,
you can have her all to yourself.

She'd never be with anyone like me.

What do you want from her?

Nothing. I love her
and that's enough.

This isn't the first time
you've been obsessed

with an Alice Flowers girl,
is it, Gavin?

I'm not obsessed.
Gavin.

We know about the assault charge.

I'm not the one who should've been
charged with assault.

It was him, her husband. He was
the one that was hurting Tammy.

She was getting beaten by him.

I'm not a violent man but
I was overcome by this dark rage.

And...?

I hit him in the groin
with a tyre iron.

Interesting option.
It's all I had in the car.

And was Sarah vulnerable too?

Was she going to get hurt?
I don't know what you mean.

You were looking out for her,
weren't you?

Did you notice anyone else
threatening her?

No.
Not her boyfriend?

What, you didn't just decide to
dish out your own form of justice?

No, of course not.

Then why did you burn his face
in all the photos, Gavin?

I don't want to look at him.

Is that why you wore the outfit?

What outfit?
Where were you last night?

At home.

All night?
Yeah.

Doing what?
Reading.

What book?

I... I don't know what it was called.
It was a self-help book.

Oh, right. But you don't
remember the title of it.

No.
Can anyone verify your whereabouts?

Of course they can't.

But do you reckon he's our guy?

It's a huge leap
from stalking to murder.

Not to mention the attempted
tyre iron castration.

Well, he's still on the list. We
just need to be looking elsewhere.

OK. So we'll go back to Myra's list.

OK. Thanks for your honesty.
Guys, guys.

Yeah. OK.

Alright. Goodbye.

Right, well, we better throw
Jamie Priest back in the mix.

No, her friend backed up her alibi.

Yeah, but I called the restaurant
they were apparently dining at.

Yeah?

No guests matched their description
on the night of the murder.

But it's possible that the staff
don't recall every single patron.

Yeah.
It's entirely possible.

But I called Jamie's friend back

and mentioned the punishment for
being an accessory after the fact.

She came clean.

She said she lied for her friend

because she'd never heard Jamie
so desperate.

Constable Priest,
you don't need me to tell you

how serious it is for a police member
to fabricate an alibi.

Now there has to be
an ethical standards enquiry.

Yeah. I knew it.

Why did you lie?

Because I wanted to put
this whole mess behind me.

You do realise, Jamie, that you've
now made yourself the prime suspect,

right?

No. That's crazy.

Why else would you lie unless
you were the one who killed Blake?

And the murder weapon -
it doesn't do you any favours.

It's very similar to the one
you were brandishing in your film.

Well, someone is trying
to set me up.

Look... look, I admit I hate Blake
but I didn't kill him.

I have an alibi for last night -
a real one.

Why should we believe you? You've
been flexible with the truth so far.

Look, I'm sorry, I should've been
more up-front with you

but I just didn't want to lose
everything I've worked so hard for.

Where were you last night?

OK. I was at Richard Hill's house.

The talkback radio guy?
Yeah.

He's talked about Blake Johnson
and the site on air for ages,

wanting to shut it down.

I thought I could help.
How?

He couldn't use my name
but I'd be an example

of how the site
takes advantage of women.

Did he take you up on the offer?

I called the station and tried to
talk to him but he fobbed me off.

That's why I went
to his house last night.

Really?
Yes.

I knew once he heard my story,
he'd be interested.

Was he?

He invited me in and listened but...
I don't know,

I think he was doing it
for appearances.

He said he'd get back to me,
then he just showed me out.

What time was this?
9pm.

And where did you go after that?
I went home.

Can anyone vouch for you after 9pm,
Jamie?

I mean really vouch for you.

No.

But I went home
and that is the truth.

Richard Hill confirmed the meeting
with Jamie.

I've asked him to come in.

The guy's
a highly paid radio announcer.

Do you really think
he's a likely murderer?

He's a wildcard.
He was high on Myra's list.

Blake definitely
got under Hill's skin.

Hill has launched some pretty high
profile hate campaigns in his time,

but nothing like the one he waged
on Alice Flowers.

Podcasting his show.

RICHARD HILL: Now, this smut
is being filmed in our own backyard.

This man, Blake Johnson,
is a sexual predator,

single-handedly responsible
for corrupting these young girls.

Even convinced the Vice Squad to
raid Blake's warehouse last month.

Really?
Yeah.

Funny thing is, though,
after months of attacking Blake,

he completely stops talking
about him a week ago.

Well, maybe
they reached a compromise.

Unless Blake had something to
blackmail him with. Something huge.

What have you got?

Found these on Blake's computer.

It looks like he had a PI
following Hill.

They were taken a week ago
to the day.

Hypocrite.

I've been calling
for something to be done about this

for more than six months.

What exactly are you referring to,
Richard?

The Alice Flowers website.

I mean, I don't need to tell you,
detectives,

that filming explicit acts
is illegal in this state.

Now, I've done polls on my listeners
and they were 100% behind me.

We don't need our women
exploited like this.

You launched a pretty scathing
attack on Blake Johnson.

He's a blot on our community.

I can't say I'm sorry he's dead.

And you put pressure on the police
to raid his warehouse.

Fat lot of good it did.

They could not find a single piece
of evidence for a single charge.

I bet that made you angry,
hey, Richard?

I was furious!
And so were my listeners.

So is that when you upped the scale
of the attack on Blake?

Did you listen to talkback
around that time?

The people wanted him shut down.

I mean, they supported my stance.

So they must've been surprised
when you stopped.

What do you mean?

Well, you haven't mentioned
Blake Johnson or Alice Flowers

in over a week.

Did you take any talkback on that,
Richard?

We cover a wide spectrum.

There are other matters
of national importance

that had to be dealt with.

So why did you ease up
your attack on Blake Johnson?

I realised I was giving the man
free publicity.

I moved on.

Have you ever heard
of the establishment

called The Pretty Kitty?

Um... I'm aware of it.

Do you spend much time there,
Richard?

Are you serious?
I've never been there in my life.

Then how do you explain these?

Where'd you get those?

Blake Johnson's computer.

You must admit,
it doesn't look good.

I mean, Blake Johnson's
got something

that might destroy your career.

I told Blake Johnson
and I'm telling you -

those pictures are doctored.

And yet you stopped your attack
on Alice Flowers.

In return for him
destroying the photos.

I was interviewing that girl
for a story.

But he kept blackmailing you.
And a week later he was murdered.

Doesn't look good.

RICHARD:
It was absolutely humiliating!

They were treating me
like a murder suspect.

If you believe that your
interrogation was groundless,

you can lodge a complaint.

Those bloody photos...
Richard.

You and I have known each other
a long time.

The reason you're being interviewed
as a person of interest

is because you are a known enemy
of Blake Johnson.

And his kind!

Without me, the ordinary citizens
of this state have no voice.

But that is as may be,

but it doesn't mean that
you're above the law,

and that is all I'm concerned about.

Why don't you join the majority
of people in this city tomorrow

and listen to my program?

And then you'll see
what I'm concerned about.

How late does this thing go
tomorrow night?

I reckon you can duck out
after a couple of weeks.

I suppose.

Are you sure there's going
to be a choir?

Yeah. It's part of the fundraiser.
Waverley's in it.

You're kidding me.

Goodnight, ma'am.

Sergeant Ryan,
in your office now, please.

I have just been ambushed
by Richard Hill.

Richard Hill?

Did you not think to tell me that
he was being interviewed as a suspect

in the Blake Johnson murder?

As per procedure, ma'am,
I was going to email you my report.

Oh, and was this email
also going to inform me

that a policewoman was
a suspect in this case?

Or were you thinking
perhaps I might hear it

on Richard Hill's radio program?

With respect, ma'am,
I don't think that Mr Hill

will make Constable Priest's
involvement public.

Really?

Well, tomorrow morning he is going
to tell half a million people

that not only is a policewoman
a person of interest in a murder

but this same policewoman
is also a well-known porn actress

and that Homicide is involved
in a full-scale internal cover-up.

That's ridiculous.
Of course it bloody is!

Mr Hill was just trying to
deflect attention

away from the fact that he's also
a person of interest.

I'm sure he is,

but my main issue is not with some
sanctimonious 'voice of the people'.

It is about the chain of command
in this department

and the judgement of my sergeants.

I was following procedure.

It is not just about
following procedures.

It should've been clear to you

that this would involve
sensitive handling.

Next time...

..keep me in the loop, Sergeant!

The Commissioner listens
to Richard Hill's program.

I am going to need on my desk
first thing in the morning

a full and detailed report
on this case.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you both coming tomorrow night?

Yes, ma'am.
Wouldn't miss it.

Good. The choir's going to do
a couple of pieces.

Yes, I heard, ma'am.

What about you, Kingston?
Can we expect to see you there?

Where's that, ma'am?
The Women in Blue fundraiser, Allie.

It's the first I've heard of it.

Well, it's tomorrow night.

Oh, I don't think I can go, ma'am.
Sorry.

Fine.

Mapplethorpe has the details,
if you're interested.

Thank you.

She's in a good mood.

I need a full briefing
first thing tomorrow morning.

Everything you've got
on the Blake Johnson case, 8am.

You alright, mate?
I'm fine.

Hey, her bark is worse
than her bite.

You just have to know
how to handle her.

Yeah?

When you've had a little more
experience in the job,

you might realise that you don't
'handle' your senior officers,

you do what they say.

Get back to work.

RICHARD HILL: I no longer trust
the police force of this state.

Why? Because they tolerate
a thriving porn industry

under their very noses.

I have exclusive knowledge that one
of the state's leading porn stars

is a serving policewoman.

Her name is Constable Jamie Priest
of Seddon Station,

better known as 'Pornocop'.

More after the break.
I'm Richard Hill...

The media are all over this,
thanks to Richard Hill.

Trying to divert attention
away from himself.

I talked to Hill's wife.

She claims she arrived home
slightly after 9:00,

which is just after Jamie left.

She said her and her husband
were enjoying a late supper

at the time Blake was killed.

That sounds convenient.
Speak to their neighbours.

See if anyone
can back up their story.

We need to have another think
about the MO.

Who'd be most likely
to film the murder?

Jamie Priest. She was continuously
humiliated by him.

Look, I know she hasn't done herself
any favours with her fake alibi.

I think she was worried
about her job,

not because
she'd committed a murder.

What about Gavin Bakowski?
DUNCAN: We know he's odd.

But as for motive, he gets nothing
out of killing Blake.

He'd hurt the partner of a woman
he'd been obsessed with before.

Tammy Bowers.
Her husband was abusing her.

So he says.
No, I spoke to Tammy.

She confirms her husband
physically assaulted her.

They're separated now.
Found.

One contract of sale for
Alice Flowers to a US porn company.

Where?
Blake's personal files.

Hidden from who?

His girlfriend.
So he didn't want to share profits.

And she found out.

That's motive for Sarah Summers.

(RINGS DOORBELL)

Sarah? Detectives Mapplethorpe
and Kingston.

We'd like to ask you
some more questions.

Sarah, are you home?

Sarah?

I just came to talk to her.

Jamie, what happened?

Jamie? You're in shock.
Can you tell us what happened?

I have no idea.

Did you kill her, Jamie?
No.

I just came to talk to her.

But I... I checked her pulse.

Jamie, did you touch anything else?

Flowers. I moved them
when I checked the wound.

Allie... (SIGHS)

This doesn't make any sense.

I mean, it is the same location
and a completely different MO.

"My beautiful Sarah, goodbye.
Love, G."

Gavin Bakowski.
Yeah.

Maybe he got freaked out
by our questioning

and decided to stop stalking her.

Or maybe he wanted to get caught.

We have to check that handwriting
against all his other notes.

OK. Is this too obvious?
Is he being set up?

I don't know. But she has got
to come in for interview.

Jamie, what time did you get there?

Just after midday.

I knew something was wrong
when the door was unlocked.

Dead. Can't believe it.

She was stabbed. In the heart.

Crime of passion, most likely.

I was hoping I could convince her
to take the video off the site.

You couldn't persuade Blake. What
made you think Sarah would agree?

Well, I thought
she might understand as a woman.

But Richard Hill has named you.

What's the point
in taking the video down now?

You don't understand. It's out now.
Everybody knows.

And the first thing they'll do

is jump on the website
and search for you.

I didn't have anything
to do with this.

We found the letter and the flowers
that you left Sarah.

I didn't write that.
Really?

'Cause it looks a hell of a lot like

all the other notes
that you've sent Sarah.

Except this one's
a little bit more direct.

"Goodbye."
Now, what do you mean by that?

I admit I wrote these,
but I didn't write this one.

And I don't send flowers.
Flowers die.

No, I didn't put the flowers there.
Why would I?

To make it look like
someone else was the killer.

Is that why you did it?
No.

I didn't do any of it.
I just found her there.

Where were you this afternoon?
I was at home alone, reading.

Oh, yeah? How's that
self-improvement thing going?

These interrogations aren't helping.

Why don't you tell us
what you were really doing, Gavin?

I was working the desk
at the station till noon.

As soon as I knocked off,
I went to Sarah's. You can check.

We will. Jamie, I really hope
it's the truth this time.

That's what I was really doing.
I was at home alone, reading.

Tell us the truth.
I told the truth.

I didn't have anything to do
with this. I know how it looks.

But I didn't kill Sarah Summers.

I loved her.

How did you go with Bakowski?
Nah, he's denying it.

Yeah, the only evidence we've got
is circumstantial.

How did you go with Jamie?
Well, her alibi is solid. For once.

Her daybook and desk sergeant

confirm that
she was working until 12:00.

Pathology results show that Sarah
was killed no later than 10:00am.

We'll need to put a late one in
until we get to the bottom of this.

Right.

Thought I'd take a copy of the case
notes home, see what I can dig up.

You want a hand, Oxford?
Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

Don't you have a dinner to go to?

Yeah, but... pfft.
I'll take over.

No, you don't have to do that.

Happy to stay back.

Thanks, Nick.

(KNOCKS)
Mapplethorpe, come in.

I just wanted to keep you
in the loop, ma'am.

Constable Priest is no longer
a murder suspect.

Oh, that's great news.

She will still have to
face disciplinary action

for obstructing an investigation.

Oh, that's sad.
Well, it's not career-threatening.

Sad that she felt
she had to protect herself that way.

I mean, what does that say about us?

Would a male constable have worried
about the same reactions?

Possibly not.

Is it worth it, ma'am?

Being in the job?

(CLEARS THROAT)

My career... I allowed my career
to cost me my marriage.

And I lost my son
in the most terrible way.

But I love my job, Jennifer.

And I have Rhys. That's lovely.

Look, the truth is
no-one has an easy life.

And only you can decide
what is important for you.

But what is important
is that we get to this function.

Yes, ma'am.

See you there.

Jennifer, there's no reason why

you couldn't be sitting
in this chair one day,

if that's what you wanted.

OK, where do we start?

Crime scene, autopsy,
witness statements or interviews?

Crime scene.

Yeah. Women appearing
on Alice Flowers websites.

Want to re-create the crime scene?

It's a very bad idea
to screw the crew.

Yeah, it's shocking.

Even if Richard made up
his alibi for Blake's death,

he was with his producer
when Sarah was murdered.

What about the enemies of Sarah?

Found a couple of
Alice Flowers actresses

that held grudges against her,
but both have legitimate alibis.

Well, maybe we have to revisit
the idea of two different killers.

Or maybe we need to revisit the idea

that someone had strong links
to both victims -

Myra Rawlings.

OK, Myra. She stood to lose her job
if Blake sold the business.

It was more than just a job to her.

She just spent the last 10 years
of her life working on that website.

That's definitely motive for
Blake's death. What about Sarah's?

Well, I don't know about a motive,
but she worked at Sarah's home.

So she's know about the letters
that Gavin left.

And she'd know
what his handwriting looks like,

and how he signs off.

Nice work, Duncan Freeman.

I say we bring her in
first thing in the morning.

Why wait? Let's bring her in now.

Look, I admit Blake
rubbed some people up the wrong way,

but Sarah, everyone loved her.

You two were close?
Mmm.

When was the last time you saw her?

This morning.
I went around there to console her.

And what time would that have been?

About 8:00am.
How was she?

She'd just lost
her boyfriend of five years.

She was... she was devastated.

Did you talk about the murder?
No.

No. She wanted to take her mind
off things, so we talked business.

And what to do with Blake's website?
Our website, yes.

Come to any decisions?

We agreed to keep it going.
It's what Blake would have wanted.

You sure about that?
Positive.

Really?

Because we found something
that suggests otherwise.

What's that?

Here, take a look.

It's a contract.

So?

Well, Blake was selling Alice Flowers
to an American porn company.

Well, it couldn't have been
a genuine offer.

I mean, Blake was as passionate
about Alice Flowers the day he died

as when we first
started up the site.

Mmm. And you were
his business manager.

Are you telling us
that this is the first time

that you've heard about this deal?

Exactly.

If he had serious plans
to sell the company,

I would have known about it.

Oh. See? He hasn't signed it.

Killed before he had the chance.
No.

He could never sell out.
It would have hurt Sarah too much.

She practically was Alice Flowers.

It was the last thing
we talked about before I left.

What was?

That we would keep it going
no matter what.

Hard to believe she's gone.

I'm sorry. Is it...
Can I have a moment?

Yeah.
Sure.

(SOBS)

If she's not upset by Sarah's death,

she's doing a pretty good job
of faking it.

Oh, she would have had to fake a lot
of things during her porn career.

So what have we got?

Well, the sale of Alice Flowers from
out under her would be a motive,

but she says she doesn't know
anything about it.

We can check that out.

It's early in LA now, yeah?

Very early.

I'll make a wake-up call.

According to her statement,

Jamie Priest said she found the note
and the flowers on Sarah's chest.

And Gavin Bakowski
said he didn't do it.

He hated flowers.
Someone had to leave the flowers.

Someone who knew about Gavin.
We can check that out too.

Oh...

Josh, have you...? (CHUCKLES WRYLY)

Rhys!
I brought some work home.

Ooh. Hi, sweetie. I can see that.
Why aren't you at the dinner?

Uh, I forgot my notes,
and I am really late.

Notes? Notes! Here they are.

Oh, thanks.

Oh!

Look, I know
what this must look like.

(GROANS)

(CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

I'm sorry I took so long.
I'm out of small talk.

When's this thing gonna start?
Soon as Waverley gets here.

Is she not here?
No. Oh. Speak of the devil.

Jamie, hi.

Hello, everybody.

What a great turnout.

My sincere apologies
for my late arrival.

But a very warm welcome
to our inaugural fundraiser

in support of victims of abuse.

Well, as the role of women
in the state police force

comes under the microscope
yet again,

we shouldn't forget that there are
many forms that abuse can take.

For example, abuse by
an unforgiving and malicious media.

It's destructive, it is cruel,
and it is intolerable.

Hear, hear.

Look, I'd just like
to briefly say a few words

about something that most women
in the service know a lot about.

Sacrifice - being forced to make
changes and concessions in our lives

because of the job we do.

A job that we are very proud to do.

A job that can be
satisfying and rewarding...

..but that often comes
at a great personal cost.

How do you wanna do this?

Nick, if we're right about this,
she's one tough player.

She has to be to have done all this.

She's kept up the act so far
without a crack.

Maybe if we use
this new information,

we might just throw her off guard.

So switch the topics?
Keep her unbalanced?

That's it, that's the way.
You wanna be the good cop?

Mate, if she's killed two people,
I want to go in hard.

I've spoken to Verne David,

the CEO of a hardcore
porn outfit named TripX,

about the contract of sale.

I don't know anything about that.
Really?

Because he said that he'd been
discussing the details
of the sale with you.

Well, he's lying.

He said that once the sale
had gone through,

that you'd be left out in the cold.

I'd have found other work.
In front of the camera? Sure.

I do have other skills. I ran that
business virtually single-handed.

What about Sarah?
Was she gonna see any of the dough?

Look, I wouldn't know!

I mean, Blake was seeing
so many other women.

Why would he want to share anything
with Sarah?

Probably gonna dump her anyway.
Mmm.

Myra, the only way that you could
stop the sale of the business

was to take Blake
out of the equation.

I'm sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I had nothing to do with
killing Blake.

You kill Sarah Summers?

Of course not! We were friends.
That's right.

You went to her place this morning
to console her, didn't you?

What happened? You couldn't agree
on your split of Blake's money?

She wanna keep it for herself,
laugh at you?

No!
Grab the knife, stab her to death?

No! No, she was very much alive
when I left.

You killed her and then
you had to cover it up.

Blame it on the stalker guy -
leave flowers.

What flowers?
The ones you went out and bought.

You can't prove that.
Why not - because you paid cash?

The nearest florist to Sarah's
is the 24-hour place on Bridge Road.

We've got a positive ID -

"That really nervous lady
with the shakes."

That could be anyone.

Oh, you've got a twin too, have you?

She ID'd your photo, Myra.

Yeah - YOU bought the flowers,
wrote on the card,

and then you left it all
on Sarah's chest for us to find!

You killed her, didn't you, Myra?
Give it up, Myra!

Your DNA's gonna be all over
the flowers, the card...

The knife.

You killed Sarah
and you and Sarah killed Blake.

Jeez, it must have been really
unccomfortable in that latex suit.

Sarah was the one in the suit!

I just filmed it.

And then she took off to Portsea
and left me to clean up the mess.

That was reason enough to kill her?
No!

No, no, she used me.

How's that?

We were going to run the site
together. That was the plan.

And this morning, she said Alice
Flowers was a young person's game

and I should find some other way
to see out my days.

Oh, that would have hurt.
I was devastated!

So much so that you stabbed
your best friend in the heart.

You know what? It was their
own fault! They forced me to do it!

That job meant everything to me!
It was my life!
