WOMAN: Christopher,
what are you doing? Be careful!

Stay here.
Christopher, don't go down there!

CHILD: Christopher!

Chris, stop! Christopher!

(GASPS)

MUM! There's a girl down here!

11 stab wounds.

You're looking at a 7-inch blade.

Time of death?
Early hours of Sunday morning.

She lay there through
all of Sunday and Sunday night.

Sexual assault?
Not as far as I can tell.

I've taken swabs
but I haven't run 'em yet.

The victim's late teens, early 20s.

So no ID?

No driver's licence, no library card,

but there's a few telltale signs.

Henna?
Henna would point to a Hindu person.

And to Muslims, Jews, Christians,
Zoroastrians...

That looks faded.

I'd say it was applied
a few weeks ago.

That'll help with our talks
to Missing Persons.

Yeah, and this
might help you find your motive.

The killer signed their work.

MATT: The numbers on her forehead.
JARVIS: Bible quotes?

From memory,
the 24th book is Jeremiah.

Here we go - chapter 30
does not have 31 verses.

Maybe it's a longitude.
Not much help without a latitude.

OK, so maybe the killer
got interrupted.

Or maybe...
I found our girl.

Spoke to Missing Persons.

You got a hit?
Yeah.

Marina Durrani.

18-year-old student,
Pakistani family.

Her mother reported her missing
late Sunday.

Pakistani? So that'd be Muslim?
Yeah, sure. And that helps us how?

When all else fails,
you just google it.

First thing that comes up when you
plug in the numbers 24, 30 and 31

is a passage from the Qur'an.

There's a few different verses here
but this one tells the story.

"And tell the believing women
to subdue their eyes

"and maintain their chastity."

Now, this girl - you don't really
think she's my sister, do you?

Well, we hope she's not, Mr Durrani.

My mum's not strong. You see...

Honey, if she's missing,
we have to know.

Now, this girl - how did she die?

She was stabbed.

Mrs Durrani, did your daughter have
a henna tattoo applied recently?

Yes, a few weeks ago in celebration
of her engagement.

(SOBS) Yes.

(SOBS)

(SOBS) Yes.

This is my daughter, Marina Durrani.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

(SOBS)

Who would do this?
Who would do this?

No! (SOBS)

She's beautiful, yes?

Yeah. She really is.

And brilliant too.

Top of almost all her classes
at school.

She was...

..she was just about to
start studying law, poor thing.

18's very young
to be getting married.

How long had she
been seeing her fiance?

She and Saleem had been promised
since she was very young.

So it was an arranged marriage?

Yes, but they had both just approved
of the match just recently.

Neither of them was being pressured.

I don't know how
Saleem's gonna take this, Mum.

Marina had three numbers
written on her forehead -

24, 30, 31.

Do either of you know
what that might refer to?

(SOBS)
It's a...

It's a... I don't understand.

It's a reference to a passage
in the Qur'an.

Do you know what passage?
Yes.

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Now, that encourages modesty
in woman, is that right?

And in men.

In modern terms, it refers
to dressing appropriately

and not being intimate
before marriage.

Had Marina engaged in
premarital sex, to your knowledge?

How dare you ask this in our home?
Sorry, but it is a...

My daughter has been murdered!

Surely she's...
not the one under investigation.

Look, maybe we can phrase
this question a little differently.

Do either of you know of anyone

who might disapprove of a young
Muslim girl acting inappropriately?

No-one who would think that
the appropriate punishment is death.

I knew you shouldn't
let her stay there.

I told you!
Stay where?

At her aunt's!
My sister-in-law's.

Marina was there for the weekend.

She let Marina
do whatever she wanted.

She's the reason we didn't find out
that she was missing

until it was too late!

(SHOUTS) She's the reason
that all this happened!

(SHOUTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(SOBS)

I didn't get up till late on Sunday.

I checked the spare room.

I just assumed she'd left me asleep
and gone.

The bed was already made.

That's because
she didn't sleep in it.

And you didn't think
to call Marina's family?

Check she was there?

So they'd realise I had no idea
where she'd gone or what she'd done?

So you didn't realise
there was a problem

until you received a call from your
sister-in-law that Sunday night?

That's right.

Did Marina tell you where
she was going on Saturday night?

To a nightclub.

So she was a bit of a party girl.

Just because she's Muslim

doesn't mean she doesn't like
to have fun like other teenagers.

What about Marina's family?

Any major problems there?

Apart from Hanif?

You don't like him?
Not many people do.

Sana, your niece had a verse from
the Qur'an written on her forehead.

"And let the believing women
subdue their eyes."

Your nephew Hanif's
pretty strong in his religion.

You think this was Hanif?

We didn't say that.

Hanif is passionate about his views.

He can be a pain in the butt
with his preaching

but he'd never hurt Marina.

You sure about that?
He'd have no reason to.

Marina was walking the line
of a good Muslim girl.

She was still a virgin
and she was getting married.

She even broke up with Paul
six months ago.

Paul?

Marina's neighbour.

We were just friends.

But you stopped seeing each other.

Yep.

Why did you have to stop seeing
each other if you were just friends?

Look, what's this about?

Is Marina hurt, or is she in trouble,
or what?

What makes you think that?
She didn't come home.

And some police in uniforms came
and took Ms Durrani and Hanif away.

You keep close tabs on them, do you?
Well, yeah.

I was out here working.
I couldn't exactly miss it.

Paul, Marina Durrani's dead.
She was murdered.

So you need to start
telling us the truth

about what sort of relationship
you did have with her.

Um... Yeah, um...

We've always been friends.

We went to the same primary school,
the same high school.

Last year, we had a bit of a thing.
A bit of a thing.

Want to explain what that means?

I was crazy about her and...
she was into me.

We hung out.
We kissed a couple of times.

And then she freaked out.
Do you know why that was?

Bad kisser?

Marina's dad died last year.

He'd always planned
for her to marry Saleem

and I think she wanted
to do right by him.

So she agreed to the engagement.

Yep.
And how did that make you feel?

Gutted.

If she really loved him, then yeah,
I could've accepted it.

But she barely knew the guy
and he definitely didn't know her.

Are you his boss?
Yeah, that's right.

How long's he been like this?
Since he heard the news.

I c-can't believe it.

According to your fiancee's aunty,

you and Marina went out clubbing
on Saturday night.

Yes.

Marina wanted
to spend some time together

before we got married.

How did the end of the evening
pan out?

Er, I...

..I don't know.

You don't know?

I... went home early. I had to study.

So it's only your parents at home?
Yes.

And they saw you come in?
My father did.

I went straight to my room.

I was on my computer
until about 4:00am, working.

And you didn't go out again
to meet up, just the two of you?

No! I...

I know what you're suggesting,

but that's something
that had to wait till marriage.

Her brother would...
Would what?

Hanif loves his sister. He wants her
to be the best she can be.

Sex is for marriage.
It wasn't to happen.

And did it?
No. It didn't.

Did Marina have any boyfriends
before you?

No, nothing serious.

I mean, I'm sure she had
a lot of offers.

But I knew Marina's family

and I was starting to know Marina.

JARVIS: Are you sure
this is from the Qur'an?

It seems to be.

Not a combination or a phone number?

I mean, that'd make things a hell
of a lot easier for us, Stanley.

This is a hotbed.
It's a political minefield.

I don't want some bloke
getting a bee in his kufti

and serving me up a fatwa.

Er... you're not suggesting
we ignore the evidence?

No, no, of course not.

But it's not such a bad idea.
(CHUCKLES)

Alright, you lot! Thrill me.

What are we looking at so far?

Right, I took statements from most
of the people on Saleem's list.

And they all say the same thing
that Saleem, he left early

and then, about an hour later,
they noticed that Marina was gone.

Crowded club?
Oh, it was chockers.

They were all having a wild time.

They're Muslims, aren't they?
Muslims aren't supposed to drink.

Yeah, but not all her friends
were Muslim.

But all of them were partying hard

and they didn't leave the club
till 4:00.

According to the girlfriends,
Marina has said that she was sick,

so then she went to the toilet
and when she didn't return,

they figured
that she'd just gone home.

What about Saleem's parents?
Have we got a statement from them?

Jen and I did that - confirmed
that he got home at 11:00,

went up to his room to study.

He could've easily taken off again,
hooked up with Marina.

Maybe he saw her with someone else.

Paul Sumner -
he didn't have an alibi.

Yeah, or Marina's brother Hanif
could've found her with either one.

He's very protective
of his sister's purity.

Or maybe it's got nothing to do
with sex or purity or whatever

and this whole Qur'an thing is just
to set us off on the wrong track.

That sounds more like it.
Yeah, it is a possibility.

Gideon.
Ronnie's autopsy report.

Confirms my findings
on the cause of death.

Would we ever doubt you?

And, um... I did some research
on the henna tattoos.

It turns out
that those particular patterns

are symbols of purity, chasteness
and fertility.

So she was a virgin?
Was, yeah.

It seems she ceased to qualify for
two of those symbols very recently.

She'd had sex for the first time?

Yeah, on the night she died.

What are you looking for?

Um, well, learning more
about your daughter

may help us piece together
why she was killed.

I've told you about Marina,
who she was.

She didn't do anything wrong!

Take off your shoes!
You barge into my house...

Look!

And turn my sister's room
upside down

and now you want to question me
even more?

We're trying to solve
your sister's death.

To do that, we need information.

Is that a problem?
It's an insult!

It's an insult.

What is it that
I'm meant to have done?

Someone with knowledge of the Qur'an

wrote a message
on your sister's forehead.

Yes, but that someone
didn't know my sister very well.

She was dutiful and pure.

You sure about that?
Yes, I'm sure about that.

Hanif, could this have been
an honour killing?

Honour killings are a tribal thing.

They're domestic violence
dressed up as piety.

They dishonour the faith.

So this wouldn't be someone trying

to remove a stain
from your family's honour?

You mean me?

Why would I want to hurt my sister?

I loved her.

And even if she's done
what you're saying she's done,

then our Prophet, peace be upon him,

instructs us to be merciful.

Where were you
on the night she died?

At home.
Not keeping an eye on your sister?

I was at home reading, man!

The Qur'an?

Dennis Lehane, 'Mystic River'.

Saleem, did you have sex
with your fiancee

on the night she died?

No. Of course not.

I told you, I left the nightclub
early. I went home.

I didn't even see Marina that night.
I never went out.

It appears that the sex
was consensual,

so we're not looking to charge
or blame you for it.

But if it did happen,
we need to know.

Maybe you saw someone else...
or maybe they saw you.

No! Look, I didn't
sleep with Marina, OK?

I wish I could help you
fill in the details, but I can't.

I didn't meet up with her again.

You sure about that?

Yes.

We were getting married
in a few months

and we both agreed
to do this properly.

Marina wouldn't have slept with
anyone until she was married.

She did.
Sorry, guys. I don't believe it.

We have the evidence to confirm it.

Evidence? What evidence?

Paul...
Come on, guys, you said it!

What have you got?
Her hymen was torn.

There were traces of lubricant.

She had sex, Paul. The question is,
did she have it with you?

No.

No.

But if you found out
she'd had sex with someone else,

would you have been angry?

Yes.

Would you have still married her?
Of course not.

If you found out that your fiance
had slept with someone else,

would you still marry him,
no questions asked?

People break up all the time
because of cheating.

It's not just a Muslim thing.

But look - Saleem is right.
Forget religion or tradition.

This is about human emotion.

It's about anger,
betrayal, jealousy.

That stuff happens all the time.

Yeah, but having the Qur'an
referenced on your forehead -

that doesn't happen all the time.

Yeah. Yeah, OK, good point.

I just can't believe
that in 21st-century Australia

a girl would be killed
for having sex.

It's just sex.

Yeah, and I'm glad you take
such a liberal view of it.

Yeah, I bet you are.
(PHONE CHIMES)

Is it home time?
Oh, hello.

Hello.
Back up.

Pathology report's through.

We're not going anywhere.

The reason there was no sign of a
struggle, no sign of sexual assault,

was because she was drugged.

Flunitrazepam. Rohypnol.
Yep.

RHYS: Drink was spiked -
she was raped and then murdered.

Or the other way around.

Oh, this just keeps
getting better and better, Stan.

Mmm. So what have you
got the troops doing?

Well, Duncan's still trawling through
security footage of the club.

I've got Jennifer
revisiting taxidrivers

and Nick's checking alibis.

Good.
Get on to it, you two.

In fact, all of you muck in.

You know, a public appeal
could really help us here.

Fine. Release the happy snaps,
but not the numbers in the Qur'an.

We can't shy away from it, Terry.

Religious beliefs point to motive.

What if she was Catholic, eh?
What do you mean?

Sorry, Stan,

but it's like shooting fish
in a barrel with you Bible-bashers.

I can't resist.

Whether it's a religious killing
or a hate crime,

the Qur'an is significant.

We release those details,
religion becomes the scapegoat.

And anyway, this is personal, Stan -
I can feel it.

You keep the pressure
on her friends, on her family,

that's where your killer will be,
I guarantee.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Yes?

Sarge, Superintendent,
just heard from Nick.

Marina's fiance lied about his alibi.

He said was working on his computer
until the early hours of the morning.

And?

His last recorded login
was three days ago - on Friday.

There it is.

Didn't kill her.
Why set up a false alibi?

You need to come with us, Saleem.
No. This is harassment.

What's going on?
Saleem's coming with us.

Look, I left the club
when I said I did.

Yeah, we know that.
But that's not the issue.

Saleem, it'll be OK.
Just go with them.

Tell them I left before 11:00.
I went home.

It's true - he did.
And you'd know because...?

He was there -
at the club on Saturday night.

Tell them I left. He was there.

As I said, I went to a dance club.

That's not a crime
last time I checked.

You didn't think to mention it
to me and my colleague

when we first came to your office?

Well, why would I?

What's it got to with
what happened to Saleem's fiancee?

You're his work colleague. You were
there. You can support his story.

I went home.
But not to work on your computer.

You lied to us - why?

I just... I didn't work. I meant to,
but I was tired. I just went to bed.

How were things
between you and Marina?

They were good. Great.

Well, they were
in love with each other.

He talked about her all the time.
I know he wouldn't hurt her.

You weren't part of the group he was
with. None of them mentioned you.

I just happened to be
at the same club.

It was a coincidence.
Mm-hm. Did you talk to any of them?

(SCOFFS) No. I spent
most of the night at the bar.

He waved to me as I was leaving
across some tables.

Ask him.

Oh, we are.

Like we said, your leaving the club
is not the issue -

it's what you did later
and why you lied to us.

The truth - that's all
we're interested in.

So if there's anything
you can tell us to help us...

I've never met Marina before.
Have you got a picture of her?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's her.

Yeah, Saleem spent
most of the evening chatting to her,

then he left.

And after that?

Well, I only stayed
for another hour or so myself,

then I left as well, but...

But what?

Yeah... before that, I did see her -
Marina - arguing with a young guy.

A young guy?

Yeah.

Can you describe
what he looked like?

Yeah, he was about,
um... 19, Caucasian.

Blue eyes, fair hair.

MATT: Paul Sumner, the neighbour.

Saleem's boss
picked him out straightaway.

He said he and Marina
were fighting outside the toilets.

Could Duncan find him on the footage?

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

It's clear enough
to make out Paul Sumner

having a real crack at Marina.

And he told us
he stayed home that night.

You bringing him in?
Yes, Sarge.

And we just finished
a search on his place. Found that.

Why would Paul Sumner
have a copy of the Qur'an?

Paul, we found this in your room.

When did you get it?

Um... a couple of months ago.

Why?

Just trying to learn
a bit more about Marina -

trying to understand her religion,
her culture.

Why didn't you just ask her?

She said she was always sick of
people asking about Islam.

She was always explaining
about arranged marriages,

if she was Muslim,
why didn't she wear the headscarf?

I just didn't wanna be
one of those people.

Yeah, and you wanted
to get close to her, didn't you?

Well, yeah.
Is that such a bad thing?

Have you ever read these verses?

24:30-31?

I don't know.
I never actually finished it.

Where were you
on Saturday night, Paul?

Paul, where were you?
I told you I was at home.

Mm-hm.

It's... it's not what you think.

Why did you just lie to us, Paul?

Look, I just... I didn't want her
family to think I was harassing her.

I was scared...

You found the engagement
hard to accept, didn't you?

Saleem's not right for her.
And you still love her?

I mean, it's not a switch
you can just throw.

Even though she told you
she was happy about getting married?

She lied, OK?
What makes you think that?

Look, I just know she did.

You followed her
to that nightclub, didn't you?

No, I just... (SIGHS)

Look, I knew she went there a lot.

I went there hoping I'd see her.
That's all.

You followed her
when she left, though?

No.
You made a move on her?

Got out of hand, then you killed her?
No! I would never hurt her.

Then you wrote those numbers on her
forehead. Verses from the Qur'an.

No.
What were you arguing about, Paul?

Told her that Saleem
wasn't good enough for her

and that he was cheating on her.

What would make you think that?

I saw him a few weeks ago
in the city,

getting into his car
with another woman.

Hands all over each other.

I didn't get a good look at her,
but I know it was him.

And you told Marina that
in the club?

Yeah. I told her
when it actually happened as well.

Not that she believed me.

So you went to the club
to make her believe you?

Well, yeah, I had to.

She didn't want to hear it but
I just didn't want her to get hurt.

Well, clearly he's obsessed.
Definitely bitter.

Mud on his bike, mud at the crime
scene and footage from the nightclub.

He's gotta be a contender.

Mrs Durrani?

She kept in the bathroom
at the back of the vanity.

Her diary.

All these years,
I never read a single word.

I hope whatever is in there will
help you find my daughter's killer.

Thanks for this.

We'll make sure you get it back.

Anything juicy?

She was a teenage girl.
It's all high drama.

There's passages in here about Paul,
about how they were best friends.

He was hot, but they weren't
right for each other.

Say anything about Saleem
and the engagement?

Yeah. Yeah, they were happy
till about two weeks ago.

And then Paul told her about
seeing Saleem with another woman.

(READS) "Can't believe
he'd try something like this!

"I know he's hurt,
but to sabotage my marriage,

"to make me try and hate Saleem,

"I don't want anything
to do with him anymore."

Then last Wednesday...

"Saleem's phone is never on
when I call.

ALLIE/MARINA: "How's that
supposed to make me feel?

"And he's ditched me twice
already this week

"because he had to work late."

MARINA: I have no idea
what's going on.

Everything's a little bit
suspicious right now.

I'm just supposed to believe
that this the man I'm gonna marry,

you know,
that he's just being honest with me.

Maybe Paul's right.

Working late -
I've seen them around.

Somehow he's always working late.

But his phone's off as well -
he can answer his phone at work.

Maybe I should trust Paul.
I've known Paul for a long time.

I thought I knew Saleem, but...

If he is cheating,
I'm definitely calling it off.

I'm not staying
with someone like that.

Of course I wasn't
seeing anyone else.

Marina said that she was worried

about you having an affair
in her diary.

She said that you cancelled
several catch-ups with her.

Yeah, I had to work.

Except that we checked with work,

and your boss, Ian,
tried to cover for you,

but then he came clean.

Haven't done any overtime in months.
In fact, you've taken a few sickies.

So, that night you went
straight home at 11:00? That right?

Yes, and I was there till morning.
I've told you this.

Right.

You bought petrol at 2:00am.

You paid cash,
but you used your rewards card.

And you got 10 bonus points
with a chocolate bar.

So we've got proof that you went out

around about the same time
Marina was killed.

So where were you, Saleem?

I wasn't with Marina.
So where were you?

I can't tell you that.
Why not?

'Cause I with someone else, alright?

Who?

Look, it wasn't something
we wanted to happen, either of us.

ALLIE: When did it start?
About a month ago.

Saleem came round to pick Marina up,
but she was stuck at work.

You started talking?
Something like that.

He's what,
eight years younger than you?

Tell my libido that.

And his.

It just happened.

Did Marina ever know
about the two of you?

No.

Sure about that?
Mmm.

Yep, I'm sure.

She started to suspect Saleem,
but she had no idea it was me.

Did Marina ever ask you about sex?
Yes.

Not often, but a couple of times.

She asked me advice
for her wedding night.

That must have been awkward.

Would it surprise you to learn

that Marina had sex
on the night she died?

No. No, no, that's not possible.

It was really important
for her to wait.

What if she thought she was
gonna lose Saleem if she didn't?

That she was competing
with an older woman?

No.

Did you catch them together
that night and get jealous?

No.

Where were you Saturday night,
early Sunday morning?

Saleem and I were together
at my friend's place.

She's away. I'm watering her plants -
it was an opportunity.

To kill Marina, or for sex?

Excuse me?

Did you kill her and try
to make it look it was Hanif?

I didn't kill her -
I was with Saleem.

See, fellow suspects
don't make for good alibis, Sana.

And now you're both suspects.

Can you believe those two?

I don't know. Sneaking round -
kind of get the appeal.

Yeah, as long as you're not
shtupping your niece's fiance.

There's lines, you know.
(LIFT CLANKS)

Oh, I know. Like dating
another detective in your squad.

Yeah, that's different.
Is it?

Why's that?
Well, because no-one's getting hurt.

(GIGGLES)

I can't believe
that they would do...

Detectives.

Ma'am.

(WHISPERS) Great. Brilliant.
Nice move, nice move.

Listen, I'm actually...

No, no, no! Don't.

No.
No, trust me.

I need to.
No.

I'd better.
Uh-uh.

Look, it's not what you think.
No.

It is not what I thought -

I thought that when I caught
the two of you in post-coital glow

that you would have
the sense to end it.

I thought that you would be smart
enough to not jeopardise your career

by getting involved with
a detective from your own squad.

Well, we're not involved.
Rhys.

It's just protocol -
it's not even a written rule.

No, it's not a written rule, but
there are very good reasons for it.

Look... (SIGHS)
..you work very long hours.

You work with a tight-knit squad.

You work in dangerous
life-and-death situations.

And you are dealing with people
at their most vulnerable.

You can't afford to lose focus,
not for a second.

Yeah. And we haven't.

Look, I'm sorry that
I've put you in this situation.

Well, it's not me I'm worried about.

Well, Allie and I are professionals.
That's not how it works, Rhys.

Well, then, how does it work?

Because it hasn't
impacted our performance.

We're still working our arses off.
I mean, what is the big deal here?

(SOFTLY) Oh, you just
don't get it, do you?

(LOUDER) You just don't get it!

Perhaps if I just
have a word with them.

They've had their chance.

And you have a preference, do you,
as to which one of them goes?

A personal preference?
Well, of course.

Kingston's always been a handful.

She's always... pushed the boundaries,
and I personally don't like her.

And you're happy to sacrifice her
experience for Levitt's potential?

I say yes. It's nepotism, Stanley.

And it's nepotism that saw me turn
a blind eye in the first instance.

So it's my decision.
It has to be.

You make whatever call you think,
but it needs to be fixed.

(WHISPERS) I told you
you shouldn't have said anything.

Look, it'll be fine.
I'll talk to her later on.

No, don't talk to her again...
OK.

Let's get started. Duncan,
how are you going with that footage?

Nothing on the drink-spiking.

All we've got is just
strobe lighting and lasers.

You know, lovely.
What about the others? Allie, Rhys?

All still in the frame, I reckon.

Hanif's gotta be up there in lights.
Guy's a zealot.

Or he's just very orthodox.
Not the same thing.

Still, Saleem, he has to have
moved to the top of the list.

The lies, the affair,
and shagging the fiancee's aunty.

That's gotta help
rack up his score for sure.

Guys, uniforms have
just called in a suicide -

13A Trenerry Grove, Carlton.

That's Sana Durrani's apartment.

Things have been moved. Coffee table.

Uh... you two wanna
view this body in situ or not?

Couple of hours ago, I'd say.

Looks like suicide, doesn't it?

Time of death is reasonably accurate,

but allow a bit of variation
for the temperature of the bath

when he was placed in it.

Placed? So he was dead before
he went in the water?

It wasn't suicide. Look.

No tentative first cuts.

Judging by the profile
of the slashes on both wrists,

they were made in the same direction.

Which doesn't make sense
unless someone else made them.

Someone using a blade
from the victim's right.

Yeah, that would fit with
his orientation in the bath.

Plus there's not enough blood
in the bath for suicide.

His heart had stopped pumping
before he hit the water.

Alright. So what killed him?

I won't know until I trepan him
and get a look at his brain.

But there's a depressed fracture and
a contusion on the back of his head,

right there.

That'd be my bet.

And what about these wounds?
Happened earlier.

The way that bruise has developed,

some time passed between
that injury and his death.

Fight?
I'd say so.

A nice left hook.

Yeah. That'd do it.

So why... why hasn't Wolfie
said anything yet?

You saw his face at the briefing.

Your aunty's told him.

What are we gonna say
when he does bring it up?

Well, they can't prove anything,
right?

We were just standing
next to each other in an elevator.

So we hold firm. We deny all.
Allie...

Like these two are gonna do.
I told you.

You shouldn't have said anything.
No, listen...

Guys, what's the hold-up?
Nick and Duncan are waiting for you.

Yes, Sarge. Sorry.
Sarge.

Allie...
No.

SANA: He loved life so much...

How have Rhys and Allie been
performing lately?

Besides being late just now?
Mmm.

Yeah. Great.

You know Allie. Blunt. Tireless.

Not afraid to ask
the hard questions.

And Rhys is always pulling some
academic theory out of his...

Yeah, they're a, um,
pretty good combination.

I can't believe he killed himself.

I know what we did was stupid,
but surely...

What have I done?

Saleem didn't kill himself, Sana.

He was murdered.

Murdered?

But you said it was suicide.

That's what someone
would have us believe, yes.

When'd this happen?

Why don't you tell us
where you were this afternoon?

(ON TV) Hanif.
You think he did this?

It has to be.

I told Nazir about Saleem and me.

I had to come clean before
she found out some other way

and Hanif was there.

He exploded.
Stormed out of the house.

So where'd you go?
Went for a walk to clear my mind.

How were you feeling? You angry?

I try not to let anger control me.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, right.

Saleem was your sister's fiance.

And he was sleeping around.

With your aunty.

(LAUGHS) They betrayed the family.

And he betrayed your sister, Marina.

That he did.

So where'd you go?
For a walk.

You didn't go and find Saleem.
You didn't fight with him.

No, I didn't. OK?

Where did you go after you spoke
to your sister-in-law today?

I'm sorry?

You're pretty quick to point
the finger at your nephew

but you had your own reasons to be
angry with Saleem, didn't you?

ALLIE: Saleem's the reason
that all of this came out.

He's the one that told us
about the affair.

Which must have put you in a lot
of hot water with your families.

No, no.

Were you angry with him?
Did you fight with him?

He was at your house, Sana.

You found him.

Saleem's boss, Ian Driscoll,
has come in.

You might want to hear this, Sarge.

Mr Driscoll.
Hey.

Do you mind telling the Sergeant
what you told me?

Yeah.

Marina's brother burst into
our office, screaming at Saleem.

The guy would have killed him if
we hadn't have stepped in, I think.

You had our card.
You didn't think to call us?

You didn't think this could
be related to our homicide?

Well, there wasn't much time
to think about anything.

He was wrecking the office.

Attacking Saleem.

You know, the guy's crazy.
So, what happened?

Well, ask Saleem, but, um...

Hanif beat him up.

Accused him of all sorts
of terrible things.

Wrecked the place and left.

Took me hours to fix the place up.
We spoke to your colleagues.

They told us that they all
pitched in and helped clean up

while you drove Saleem home.

Yeah, then I went back and helped.

But you didn't take him home,
did you?

Well, he asked me to drop him
at a friend's place.

His fiancee's aunt's, actually.
His lover.

Oh. OK, um...

So I dropped him and went
straight back to the office. Ask him.

We can't ask him, Mr Driscoll,
because he's dead.

And you were the last person
to see him alive.

So, what's the verdict?

The verdict's a stalemate, Sarge.

We've got four suspects
who are firmly in the frame.

Hanif had motive to kill both
his sister and her fiance.

Plus he was seen assaulting Saleem
just an hour before he died.

And this guy, Ian Driscoll,
keeps popping up everywhere.

And Sana found Saleem
in her apartment

after he revealed
their affair to the world.

And then there's Paul Sumner.
Marina rejected him.

Did he kill her and her fiance

and then try and pin it on a family
that tried to shut him out?

Gideon. Present for you.

What's that?
Saleem Marwat's fingernail.

Ohh.

With someone's skin under it.

So, Saleem put up a fight.
Exactly.

And whoever killed him is going
to have some very nasty scratches.

Can you please roll up
your sleeves, Hanif?

Need to see your arms.
What?

Look, what's this about?

You've got to be kidding me.

Can you remove your coat, please?
What for?

We need to check your arms, Sana.

You know what? I've had enough.

Thank you.
We can get a court order, Hanif.

This is ridiculous.
If you've done nothing wrong...

Oh, yeah. Then I got nothing to
worry about, right?

Right.

And I don't. I didn't kill him.

Just need to see your arms.

Fine. Jesus.

OK?

Do you want to tell me where
you got those scratches?

I didn't kill him.

I would never hurt him.

We were friends. We were soul mates.

Mm-hm.

See, the thing is, Ian, we spoke
to all of Saleem's friends,

and he's got a lot of friends
'cause he was a very popular guy.

And none of them mentioned you.

None of them seemed to know
anything about you.

That's...

That's because what we had
was secret.

Yeah, very secret. I don't think
Saleem even knew about it.

That's not true.
Come on, Ian.

You really have to stop
kidding yourself.

Saleem didn't think you were special.

He was just a nice guy.

We were friends.
We were soul mates.

It's a beautiful thing to find
your soul mate. Isn't it?

Which is why you killed his fiancee.
So you could be with him.

Then you made a move on him and he
rejected you, which is humiliating.

And it made you angry.

So you killed him to make him pay.

It wasn't like that. OK?

Well, Ian, you tell me
what it WAS like.

It was an accident, OK?

I...

I never wanted to hurt him.

I dropped him at his aunt's house
and he got angry at me.

He pushed me and I pushed
him back and he fell.

He fell on the coffee table?

What did you fight about, Ian?

I was only trying to help.

You know? Like...

People shouldn't be forced to do
things they don't wanna do.

What things, Ian?

Well, the f...

The arranged marriage.

Right.
He didn't want to do it.

And friends help each other
out, don't they?

That's right.
Yeah.

Yeah.

You slipped a sedative into
Marina's drink, didn't you?

Waited outside the club for her.

(COUGHS)

Um, can I give you a lift?

You're Saleem's friend.

Yeah, OK. That's right.

Not feeling very good.

And then you drove her to that
empty lot and you killed her.

You had it all prepared.

Quote from the Qur'an.
Texta. The knife.

She didn't even struggle
when you killed her, did she?

(GROANS)

You raped her.

She was dead.

She didn't feel a thing.

What about you, Ian?

You feel anything?

It was a very, very clever thing

to write a quote from
the Qur'an on her forehead.

I wasn't trying to be clever.

I was trying to be helpful.

It wasn't about me.

It was about Saleem.

I had to help him.

I didn't want Saleem to be sad,
so...

..I made it look like
she had betrayed him.

I never meant to hurt Saleem.

He was my soul mate.

We have identified Ian Driscoll
as Marina's killer.

We'll keep you informed
leading up to the trial.

Thank you.

Thank you for this.

Marina was a wonderful girl.

And we're very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Good job on this case, detectives.

Thanks, Sarge.

You work well together.

But since you are
in a personal relationship...

..I'm sorry to say

that will be the last time that
you work together in Homicide.

This wasn't an easy decision
for me to make.

But you know how it works.

Actually, Sarge, before you
go any further with this,

Allie and I have come
to a decision of our own.

We've stopped seeing each other.

Are you in agreeance
with this, Allie?

Yeah. I think it's
the right thing to do.

We both realise the impact that
this could have on our careers,

and it's just not worth it.

Our number one commitment
is to Homicide

and, you know, it's not like
it was anything serious.

You let me down, you're gone.
Both of you. Permanently.

No hesitation.
Yes, Sarge.

Thank you.
Sarge.

You. You are amazing.

"Our relationship's not worth it."
I can't believe he went for that.

Hasn't actually been that long,
though.

Hmm?

Hasn't actually...
hasn't been that long.

And, you know, I mean, look, we...

..both love the job, right?

I'm sorry, I just,
I kind of thought that...
