All language subtitles for The Gloaming E07

Making a public nuisance of yourselves, eh?

Preaching blasphemy.

21 years.

Looks like we've got
a couple of Scottish heretics.

There should be another one.

I believe she died on the boat.

No, no!

Leave her alone!

No! Ahh!

No! No...

What is that?

It's the mark of your forebears.

The mark of your destiny.

Why were you trespassing
on this property?

Following a hunch.

A hunch?

Grace is Jenny McGinty's aunt.

- Eileen McGinty's sister.
- I'm aware of that.

And I don't think this whole story ends
with Freddie Hopkins.

Neither do I.

But I don't know how harassing Jenny's
relatives is gonna make you feel better.

I'm just trying to understand
why he killed Dorothy Moxley.

Well, then, do it properly.

We can interview Freddie when he recovers.

OK.

Sorry. I just want to know how this case
is connected to Jenny McGinty.

She forgot to pick me up once.

Some kids took my lunch money,

so I didn't have enough to catch the bus.

How did you get home?

I hitched a ride.

Hmm...

How did that make you feel?

Look, I think I was on a job...

Let her finish, please.

I'm finished.

Is that why you started
making the videos, Lily?

To get your mother's attention?

No, I did them so I'd have
enough money for the bus

next time she forgets to pick me up.

If I asked you what you most want to get out
of these sessions, Lily, what would that be?

I want Mum to go back to how she was
before her friend was killed.

I already told you, I know nothing
about those bones

or where they're from.

How long have you lived here?

Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated
for something I know nothing of?

- Detective...
- It's a simple question.

This island is full of bones

and restless spirits looking for them.

You should both know that.

We'll wait for the osteological report.
Thank you for your time, Ms Cochran.

Ah... You sure you won't have a cup of tea?

I have a special blend.

We don't want to take up
too much more of your time.

We'll let ourselves out.

Thank you for dropping by.

Please don't trespass on my property again.

I'm always gracious at the door.

Is Stephanie still here?

What do you know about my niece?

Her mother was worried about her.

Her mother is weak.

Is she here?

Your interest in my
niece is very unnerving,

especially given you were with her sister
when she was killed.

"Just a cold case" is
what they call her now.

Just another blot...

..on this island's wretched history.

Stephanie?!

Only fools chase shadows, Detective.

We'll be back about the bones.

You've got a lot of work to do

but it's, uh... it's a good start, so...

I'm gonna make it work.

I can't lose her.

Do you want to talk about
this friend... who died?

No. It's fine.

I'm really sorry, Lily.

I know it's been really hard on you.

We're gonna sort this out.

Look, I don't want... you feeling like
you've got to act out to get my attention.

I don't.

I'm talking about that mark you drew
on the back of my mirror with lipstick.

I mean, it's OK. It's... It doesn't matter.
It's an old mirror. It's...

I didn't draw any mark.

Do you have my red lipstick?

Yeah.

No.

I threw it away.

Sorry.

Hey, was that true about the bus money?

Look, I just want to
know what the mark means,

where you got it from.

I seriously don't know
what you're talking about.

I'll just be a minute.

Hello, Freddie.

It's good to see you out of bed.

Do you mind if I ask you
a couple of questions?

Is there someone there?

I know you can feel them.

But you can't see them, can you?

Not yet, anyway.

When you spoke to me...

..quoting from the Bible
about the insects...

I went to Grace Cochran's place.
I found bones.

Is that what you wanted me to
find, Freddie?

You don't have much time, Detective.

Does Grace Cochran have something
to do with Jenny McGinty's death?

Freddie...

Freddie, I'm trying to understand
what you want me to know.

Help me.

Hey, I, uh, need to take him back now.

No, just five more minutes.

How is Jenny McGinty
connected to Dorothy Moxley?

I did it for the children.

What children?

Freddie, what children?

We managed to find out more
about Marianne Gowdie,

who could be our Dorothy Moxley.

Now, I looked up Marianne Gowdie
on Births, Deaths and Marriages.

She was born in 1956,

has two siblings - sisters -

Alma and Shirley Gowdie.

Alma was the mother of Valerie,

who was strangled to death in 1995.

They were a strange family, according to
the police report on Valerie Gowdie.

Came from convict stock.

Locals said the murder
caused quite a ripple in the area.

Where are they now?
Why haven't they come forward?

The sisters vanished
not long after Valerie's murder.

It's like they fell off
the face of the earth.

Until now.

Maybe they had something
to do with the murder.

Or knew someone who did.

I just had a call from Russell Hamilton
from the Council.

Mm.

Checking some small details
for the Minor Ferry proposal application.

Yeah?

I don't want to hex it
but it sounded very positive.

See?

Don't I always come through for you?

I got it.

Want to wait a sec?

How can I help you?

Gareth McAvaney?

Yep.

We've got a warrant to
search your premises.

I need you to make all your files -
computer and paper -

available to my officers.

You've got to be joking.

I'd also like to ask you some questions

pertaining to the death of
Councillor Jacinta Clunes.

- What's going on?
- I already gave a statement.

I was trying to help her.

Let's continue this conversation
down at the station.

How'd you go with Lily?

I don't think I'll be up for Mother
of the Year, but it was a good start.

Hey, um...

Sorry I left so early.

Ah, no problem.

I thought perhaps I...
stole all the blankets.

No, it was nice.

Thanks for looking after me.

Mm... You had a rough night.

Hey, has Maggie called you?

No. Why?

You know how you asked her
to run a blood check on Valerie Gowdie

to see if she's Dorothy Moxley's daughter?

Yeah, we now know she's her niece.

Mm. Well, she found another match.

A familial match for Marianne Gowdie.

Who is it?

Oh, just wait.

Molly McGee?

Good, thanks.

Yes, we would.

Right, thanks for letting us know.

Bennette's got Gareth McAvaney.
She's bringing him in.

- Here?
- Her office.

Remember his bandaged hand?

You think Gareth McAvaney
is Marianne Gowdie's son?

Mm-hm.

You said yourself, he was asking
a lot of questions about the murder.

Shouldn't we tell Lewis?

We'll call him on the way.

I think it's better if I
sit in on the interview.

Molly, stay out of it.

OK? You've still got a
complaint hanging over you.

Don't risk the case.

I already explained to you
that I was trying to stop her from driving.

She'd had a few drinks.

Ms Clunes' blood alcohol reading
at the time of her death was under 0.05.

Well, that was some time
after she'd been drinking.

You claimed you called the police
immediately after the accident.

That's right. I did.

And the accident was only
a couple of kilometres from the restaurant.

Jacinta was upset...

By "Jacinta", you're referring to
Councillor Clunes?

Yes.

Mate, what's going on here?

You were on friendly terms, then?

We've done business together in the past.

As I explained, she was upset
and I was trying to calm her.

Can we get to the point
of why my client is here?

Several witnesses from the restaurant

noticed that you and Ms Clunes
were fighting in the car park.

One even went so far as to say
you grabbed her by the throat.

That's rubbish.

Is that how you cut your hand?

I cut my hand a couple of days ago
on a door frame.

My client has explained himself enough.

Another witness said
they saw a red Mercedes

driving recklessly behind Ms Clunes,
flashing high beams,

before she crashed.

Would there be any reason for you
to want to cause harm to Jacinta Clunes?

No. Why would I?

She wasn't trying to end a business deal with
you that would see you benefit financially?

On what grounds are you suggesting this?

We're in the process of investigating,
as we speak.

In other words, nothing.

Alright, you've got nothing to hold me on
and, uh, I'd like to leave.

Do you know a woman by the
name of Dorothy Moxley?

Of course.

I mean, hasn't everyone?

Her murder's been on the news every night
for the past week.

What about Marianne Gowdie?

No.

What has this got to do with my client?

Based on the blood found
on Councillor Clunes' car.

It's a familial match for a murder victim
we're investigating -

Marianne Gowdie.

My client told you how he cut his hand.

It must belong to someone else.

Would you be prepared
to undergo a blood test?

Ah, there's no way we're doing that.

If your client's related to Marianne
Gowdie, we'd like to ask him some questions

pertaining to her murder

and her business dealings
within the Star of the Forest Church.

Wow, you really are
clutching at straws, huh?

Desperate to go home?

My client is not under arrest

and, therefore, has no obligation
to undergo a blood test or any other test.

No, of course. It would be voluntary.

You won't do the test
to disprove the theory?

What theory?

That she's your mother.

Maybe another time.

Would you know anything
about a Valerie Gowdie?

She was strangled to death back in '95.

A Ricky Jones was convicted
but it was overturned on appeal.

Her murder's still unsolved.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

But I can't help you.

We'll be in touch.

Good try. Thank you.

Every guilty person is their own hangman.

We need to get blood tests or DNA
off Gareth McAvaney.

We can only do that
if he's charged with something.

So, why did you leave
so early this morning?

I went to Grace's place.

Why?

Something Freddie said yesterday
was playing on my mind.

It was a quote from the Bible, right?
About insects.

Insects?

Now, the other day, when I was at Grace's,
I saw people spraying this paddock.

It was like it was infested.

- So?
- I found bones.

In that same paddock.

Human bones?

They're being analysed right now.

- Do you think Freddie knew they were there?
- I don't know.

But I get a bad vibe about Grace Cochran.

Yeah, so do I.

Should I cut it here?

No. It's the stem that we want.

The thorns are most important.

Not near the flower?

The flower is beautiful.

But it's the thorns that are potent.

We use them to make markings to protect us.

Ahh! Ah...

A defence against danger.

No!

Oh...

This is a valuable lesson,

passed down our family line.

We appreciate the beauty of the rose
when there is no threat.

But when persecution comes,

we'll be thankful for the thorns.

Guard!

What the hell is going on?

- What'd they take?
- Everything!

All our plans for Minor Ferry,

all our cost reports.

What have you done, Gareth?

What are the police looking for?

Just say nothing.
They've got nothing on us.

- Alright, I gotta go.
- You need to tell me what's going on.

Don't you touch me.

You owe me an explanation.

If you've had anything to do with
Jacinta Clunes's death,

I want nothing to do with you.

While I was looking into
the Valerie Gowdie murder,

I came across some police
reports from up there.

Ricky Jones was a foster kid.

And he, along with some of these kids here,

all lived up around the
lakes at some point.

They're kids who had disappeared
over several years.

They came from no fixed
address, or foster homes.

Vulnerable kids, like Daisy.

Do we, uh... do we know
if any of these kids knew each other?

It's hard to tell at this point,
but we don't think so.

We're still trying to determine
if there's any more missing kids.

How many so far?

7 to 10 kids.

Right, so, there could be more.

OK, let's look at them all individually
and see if we can find a connection.

Maybe start with Social Services.

Centuries ago, in the old country,

the villagers were hemmed in by forest.

And at the outer fields,

there was the Hedge -

the boundary that separated the village

from the wild lands where the trees began.

Our people, your people,

lived on that boundary.

They were the riders of the border

between this world and the other,

crossing one to the other,

and returning with wisdom...

..and insight.

Come in.

And with wisdom and insight

comes the power of retribution.

Something... our ancestors
were never above delivering.

The boy - who's that?

Ricky Jones.

I've seen this kid before.

- Yeah, I showed you his file.
- No, no, no.

There's a picture of him...

..in Gareth McAvaney's study.

Are you sure?

I am positive.

Senior Constable Wolfe.

I think we should go back over
the case files for Valerie Gowdie.

What are you thinking?

A partial fingerprint
cleared Ricky Jones of murder.

Right.

So, I'm thinking,
who might have been with him

when Valerie Gowdie was murdered in '95?

The same year Gareth McAvaney
turned up at Hillscrest.

Mm-hm.

Gareth McAvaney.

You're under arrest for misconduct

and obtaining financial
advantage by deception.

You'll need to accompany us to the station,
where you can be formally charged.

I'm gonna call my lawyer.

You can do that on the way.

What?

Are you sure?

OK, thanks.

Uh, that was Maggie.

After she checked Valerie Gowdie's DNA,
she found something else.

Valerie Gowdie and Jenny
McGinty are related.

What?

Oh, my God.

Eileen McGinty is Jenny McGinty's mother.

If Jenny McGinty and
Valerie Gowdie are cousins,

that could mean that Eileen

and this Alma Gowdie are sisters.

Grace Cochran and Eileen
McGinty are sisters.

That we know.

Grace Cochran, Eileen McGinty

and Dorothy Moxley...

..are the Gowdie sisters.

Where's Lewis? We need to reopen the case files
for Valerie Gowdie and Jenny McGinty now.

I'll find him.

Molly McGee?

Great. I'm coming down now.

We need to reopen the Jenny McGinty case,
and Valerie Gowdie.

Two cold cases, five years
apart, both related.

I know.

You and Molly make a great team.

You brought me back here for a
reason, didn't you?

We can never really shake
off the past, can we?

It always has a way of chasing you down.

Only if you're running from it.

You and I are alike, like that.

No point looking back.

We can't fix our mistakes.

What mistakes?

Who made mistakes?

I've only ever wanted to be a copper,
ever since I was a kid.

Just to help people.

- To do good.
- You have done good.

People respect you.
You've come through the ranks.

Perhaps when you want something so badly,

people can see it, they smell it.

They take advantage of that.

What happened that day?

The day you found Jenny. Why did the
police say it was a robbery gone wrong?

That was the story that I was fed.

"To help a grieving mother," they said.

I mean, what's worse
than a senseless killing?

Best to say it was a robbery.

Who's "they"?

People who were controlling
the investigation.

The cops?

It goes a lot deeper than that.

I was a foster kid... you know?

A ward of the state.

After my parents were
killed in an accident.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I went from house to house,

like it happens.

And then a family wanted me.

They took me in and they gave me
everything. I was so grateful.

But it was like...

..living on eggshells.

One stumble...

..and it could all break.

That's a hard way to live, for a kid.

And you know you can never repay the debt.

So, you learn...

..that when they ask for anything...

..you say yes.

What did you say yes to, Lewis?

Was it something to do with the case?

I had to...

..I just had to get rid
of Jenny's backpack.

That was all.

To help the mother
understand the crime and...

..make sense of it all.

I was so green.

I didn't know any better.

- I just wanted to do good.
- You took Jenny's backpack?

I got promoted not long after it.

I guess I knew, deep down,
that I didn't deserve the promotion.

But I took it.

I dumped...
Jenny's backpack at the waterfall.

When I saw the body the other day...

..Dorothy Moxley...

..and Jenny's ID card...

..I knew the day of reckoning had come.

We need to reopen Jenny McGinty's case.

And that's why you brought me home.

Isn't it?

The truth, Lewis.

Do you know who killed Jenny?

I don't know the truth, Alex.

Only you do.

You were there.

- Where's my lawyer?
- On her way.

Give me your hand, please.

You're making a big mistake.

Yeah, I know. We always do.

Open your mouth, please.

Oh, there she is.

You must be feeling pretty
good about yourself.

What is it about me that
fascinates you so much?

Oh, I'm not fascinated by you.
I'm protecting the public.

Can you get me out of here?

I want my client out on bail.

I think he's a flight risk.

On what grounds?
He's got no prior convictions.

He'll be granted bail on his own undertaking.
But he's not to leave the state.

Fine. Let's get out of here.

You'll need to surrender your passport
by the end of the day.

Will do. Come on.

You should be more careful, Detective.

I'm not afraid of you, McAvaney.

That's enough!
Get out of here before I change my mind!

What was that all about?

We need to run his fingerprints
through the system.

I have a feeling he's
involved in a cold case.

Hey, this is Alex. Can't get to the
phone right now. Please leave...

Good?

Come with me, Freddie.

The winter solstice
is the time we rejoice -

in the darkest hour, the coldest hour.

It is the time when the veil between
this world and the other is thinnest,

when the world is at its
darkest and most dead.

It is the time that marks the bottom,
from which life rises.

A long time ago, the Winter Queen

walked across the rocky land.

Her wicker basket was filled with stones,

dropping them as she passed to form
the lakes and mountains and valleys.

It was a test of our resilience -

our ancestors pulling their loads,

their possessions, their lives,

across that ragged land,

and over every obstacle
the Winter Queen put in their path.

It's winter solstice tomorrow night -

the longest night of the year,

when the dead can return to us.

It's a time to gather souls

and leave... the dead...
to bury... the dead.

Where have you been?
Gareth McAvaney's been charged.

Come with me.

What is it?

- Where's Alex?
- This is for you.

It came this morning.

It's a formal complaint,

from Gareth McAvaney's lawyer.

I can't lose my job, Lewis.

I told you, when a formal letter came in,
you'd need to be suspended.

He's been charged. He's a criminal.

I'm giving you 48 hours
to get a defence mounted.

Use Alice Ryan.

She's the best in the business
for these type of matters.

Thank you, Lewis.

Grimshaw.

What? When?

I'm on my way.

- What is it?
- It's Freddie.

This way, Mrs Hopkins.

What happened?!

Well, we believe the patient
suffered a fatal cardiac arrest.

Was he ill earlier?

He was.

Do you have any other information -
what might have caused it?

Not at this stage.

We've been running some blood tests.

Inspector?

Keep me informed.

I've got to go.

Go back to the office. I'll be back later.

Hey, this is Alex.
Can't get to the phone right now.

Please leave your number
and I'll get back to you.

Alex, I need to talk to you. Where are you?

He's dead, Grace.

Hmm.

I never did trust hospital food.

He was going to jail.

This all would have been over.

Now this.

It's gonna bring attention to you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's over, Grace.

Everything.

They know who you are.

Hmm.

Do you know, I remember you
when you were a young child?

You were a lost, lonely little boy,

searching for salvation.

Huh.

I worried for you then
and I worry for you now.

Now, why would you be
worried about me, Grace?

'Cause you could never quite find
enough faith to hold onto.

Our beliefs...

..is all we have, at the end of the day.

I paid my dues.

And you benefited greatly from it. Hmm...

I'd give it all back, if I could.

Why did you bring back Alex O'Connell?

Because I wanted the past to be resolved.

And only he can do it.

The ink on the past is dry, Lewis.

Hmm...

I'm curious.

Freddie what-his-name...

..did he ever say why he killed Dorothy?

He said he did it for the children.

And I know what he means.

Hmm.

You've served your purpose to us, Lewis.

Hmm...

Handed us a gift, actually.

But you can go now.

You're free.

We don't want you anymore.

Auntie Grace?

Oh...

You look like an angel, Valerie.

Jenny McGinty,
I don't know where we're going.

It's just through these trees.

Come on.

This is it.

It's just how I remember.

I used to live here as a child.

"O Lord, you form light
and you create darkness.

"You bring prosperity
and you create disaster."

Alex?

We were at a house.

With a blue door.

There was something horrible behind it.

Alex?

Jenny... No!

William.

You really shouldn't have come back, Alex.

Alex? It's me. Where are you?
I need to speak to you. Call me back.
