MAN: Get up!

Who's there?

Make a noise and you're dead.
Now, get up!

Get up!

You - stay there.

Please! Don't hurt us!
Get your keys and get dressed.

We're going for a drive.

(SCREAMS INTO TAPE)

The alarm - turn it off.
(CONSOLE BEEPS)

Try anything, I'll blow your brains out.

Move!

(SCREAMS MUTEDLY)
Shut up!

(SCREAMS)

I said shut up!

(WAILS)

(GUNSHOT)
(GRUNTS)

(VACUUM CLEANER HUMS NEARBY)

RHYS: Morning, Sarge.

Rhys.
Bright and early.

Can't keep away from the place, eh?

I could say the same about you.

Ah, it's the best time of day.
Get more work done.

(PHONE RINGS)

Matt Ryan.

Yeah.
Maybe not.

We're on our way.

Morning.
Morning.

(PHONE RINGS)

Is that yours or mine?
Yours.

What time is it?
(PHONE RINGS)

it's just after 6:30.
(SIGHS)

Here we go.

At least she didn't see it coming.

WOMAN: I can never
go back into that house.

How could someone do that to her?

I'll leave you to take a moment.
Excuse me.

Nice place.
Yeah, very nice.

Matt?
Inside with Ronnie and Crime Scene.

Morning.
Morning.

Morning, Jennifer.
What have we got?

Someone took a dislike
to the lady of the house.

Who found her?
Her sister, Ruth Engelman.

She live here?
No, no.

She called past early
to pick her sister up for the gym.

Found her with her throat cut.
Taken her statement?

Not yet.
I'll sit with her, see if she wants to talk.

Detective Buchanan?

Got the time?

Gisele Goldberg. The killer gained entry
by forcing the lock on the back door.

Gave the place a good going-over.

Crime Scene found some empty
jewellery boxes and an empty wallet.

Robbery gone wrong?
Yeah, looks like it.

She lived her with her husband, Isaac.

So far we haven't been able
to locate him. Ronnie?

I have time of death
around 4:00 this morning.

Cause of death...
Pretty obvious.

You wanna take over?
Sorry.

Cause of death - massive blood loss

as a result of her carotid artery
being severed at least twice.

Twice?

Yeah, the killer had
a couple of goes at her.

Arterial spray, as you can see,
was dramatic.

Then she continued to bleed out.
Murder weapon?

A 20cm Cutler chef's knife.
You can tell the brand?

Found it in the kitchen.

It'd been washed clean.

So you can't be sure, then.
20 bucks says I'm right.

Rhys...

..save your money.

Uh, Sarge, I just spoke
to Ruth Engelman.

The sister?

I asked her where she thinks
Gisela's husband is.

She got distressed and said,
“He's got to be at the store.”

Have we checked it?
What store?

Their business - a jewellery store
in North Melbourne.

Righto. Nick and Rhys,
you better get onto that.

Door's ajar.

Mr Goldberg?

Mr Goldberg?

(MUFFLED MOANS)

it's OK. We're police.

Clear.

Clear.

M-my wife! They've got my wife.

They broke in. Gisela's still at home.

Mr Goldberg...
She's my wife. I wanna see her.

What are you waiting for?
You have to go and help her.

I'm afraid we've got some very bad news
for you, Mr Goldberg.

Isaac Goldberg's
being treated in hospital.

Have you started on his statement?

Not yet. Dunny's there for when
the doctors give him the nod.

There were two armed robbers -
one went with Isaac to the store,

the other stayed with the wife.

Slit her throat.

Why kill the wife
and spare the husband?

Maybe she recognised him.
Store employee Adam Milton.

He didn't show up for work this morning.
Right.

Plus the fact that the CC I V footage
was removed

from a concealed cupboard
in the store -it looks like an inside job.

Does this Milton guy have form?
No.

Jen and Allie went to his flat.
There's no sign of him.

Neighbour thinks
he moved out yesterday.

OK, put out a KALOF on
Milton and his vehicle.

I'll get a warrant for his flat.

Got a moment, Sergeant?

Keep me informed!

Ma'am.

I've had a call from Armed Rob.

Understandably, they're not happy about
being locked out of the Goldberg case.

Well, this is a homicide
investigation, ma'am.

Committed in the course of
an armed robbery.

Yes, but...
And their help could be invaluable.

Ma'am, we already have
a lead that looks promising.

The theory is an inside job gone wrong.

I don't want to interfere with that.

But it would be great to have a go at
changing the culture, wouldn't it?

Getting rid of some of the petty
jealousies between departments?

I've asked Peter Copeland
to join us on this one.

OK, ma'am. I'll do my best
to make it work.

Good. Detective Sergeant Copeland,
you know Matt Ryan.

Only spoken on the phone.
Good to meet you, Matt.

You too.

I'll leave you both to it.

Ma'am.
Ma'am.

Sarge! Duncan just called
from the hospital.

Isaac Goldberg is ready
to make a statement.

He'll be here in an hour.
Great.

Do you wanna bring me up to speed
while we wait?

Yes, um...let's grab a coffee.

This Adam Milton character -
he's got no form?

No.

So, how do you reckon
he planned to shift the bling?

Well, he works in a jewellery store.
I assume he's got contacts.

Who'll handle hot merchandise?
Possibly.

Fences, black market dealers.
it's more your terrain than mine.

Yeah, bloody difficult terrain
it is too, mate.

Armed robbers are like circling sharks.

Fences are the bottom feeders
sifting through their crap.

So, what does that make you?

Ooh, I'm the octopus, mate, reaching
everywhere with my big tentacles.

(LAUGHS)

No, no, nothing gets past me.

Is there anything on the other crook?
Not yet.

If the hired help is involved,

it makes me wonder
what this Goldberg character

stands to benefit from the burg.

You think Goldberg might have
set the whole thing up himself?

If it looks like a duck,
quacks like a duck...

I can't take a duck to the DPP.
I need real evidence.

Well, you point me at Goldberg
and I'll tell you if he's in on it or not.

Deal?

Now, you said they were
wearing balaclavas.

That's right.

Did you notice anything...familiar
about either of them?

No.

No, no, just think about it.

Say, an employee, past or present.

Could they fit the description
of one of your attackers?

We only have one employee
at the store, Adam Milton.

A loyal employee, is he, Mr Goldberg?

He's OK. How's this relevant?

Would you call Adam a self-starter?

You know, an ideas man.

Are you saying Adam's involved?
I'm not saying anything, mate.

(SIGHS)

How's the store doing?

It was doing fine until yesterday.

Why's he playing it this way?

He's setting him up.
He thinks Goldberg's involved.

You're insured against theft, right?
Yes, but...

Loss of income?

Property damage?

You're paying high premiums, I bet.

But the payout you're about to get!
Ooh! (LAUGHS)

I'd like to see that cheque.

What about wifey? Has she got
a big fat insurance policy too?

A mill?

Two mill?

You think I had something
to do with this?

I don't know. You tell me.

Did ya?
No.

Look, Isaac, we're just trying
to get a better picture of things.

It's Mr Goldberg.

And your disgusting accusations
won't give a better picture of anything.

My wife is dead.

She was the love of my life.

(SOBS)

She was my life.

Hubby isn't involved.

Spouse is always a suspect.

Maybe in homicide, junior,
but armed rob's a more complex beast.

Well, this isn't just armed rob.

Solve the robbery, solve the murder.
it's not rocket surgery!

(LAUGHS)

I don't think we should
rule out Goldberg just yet.

Look, I'm on the clock, mate. You wanna
waste your time, knock yourself out.

You rode Goldberg but you got
nothing out of Adam Milton.

Hey, I wasn't the only one in there.
Levitt hardly said a bloody word.

Well, I didn't get much chance.
What do you want, a memo?

OK, OK. Let's just concentrate
our efforts on finding Adam Milton.

Get onto his records.
Track his mobile and credit cards.

When he sticks his head up...
We'll be there to kick it in.

Copeland's a dick.
At least he's contributing.

He's hijacking our case.

That bloody interview was more about
his armed robbery than our murder.

We're all on the same side, Dunny.

Yeah.

Sarge.

There's something about Goldberg
that just rubs me the wrong way.

Like what?

Ah, it's stupid. I mean...
I can't even give you an example.

I just... I don't like him.

Keep on digging. See what comes up.

Yeah, he's the victim of
an armed robbery, though,

and his wife's just been murdered.

Suppose it makes sense he's a bit off.

You're not gonna believe this. Adam
Milton has form for aggravated burglary.

But we checked - he's a clean skin.

Adam Milton is, but Adam Miller isn't.
An alias.

You wouldn't want Adam Miller
within 10 k's of your jewellery store,

let alone working there.

Theft, burglary, aggravated burglary...

Yeah, but not murder.
Well, maybe that wasn't part of the plan.

Until Gisele Goldberg recognised him.

And then he had to kill her.

Morning.
JEN: Morning!

Ma'am.

Ah, ma'am, we've had a break.

My guys got a lead on
the prick who's fencing the bling.

Good.
When did that come through?

I don't know. Couple of minutes ago.

What about the employee,
Adam Miller/Milton?

His flat's deserted. it's possible
he might have done a runner interstate.

We've circulated his picture and known
aliases. We should get a bite soon.

Maybe his fence will have
something on Miller.

Spirit of cooperation, I'm happy to take
one of your people along on the bust.

Detective...

..Mapplethorpe would be a good fit.

Why's that?

This prick has a weakness
for good-looking women.

I'd ask you, ma'am,
but I can see you're flat chat.

(chuckles)

Did you see the hairy eyeball
she gave me?

Tough old cow.

Needs a good root, don't you reckon?

So, what's the game plan?

OK.

Fence's name is Rob Doherty.

That is his favourite pub.

Left his flat five minutes ago,
so he should be here in about...three.

Which means you've got that long
to tell me the Jen Mapplethorpe story.

You married?

No.

Engaged?

In a relationship?
None of your business.

Don't bat for the other side,
do you, Jen?

(CHUCKLES)
Do you like Thai food?

I know a little place in Richmond
does a magic mee krob.

Come on, Jen.

No-one understands a cop
better than another cop.

Wouldn't you agree?

Sarge, it's guys like you who
make the idea of changing teams

suddenly a very attractive option.

(CLEARS THROAT) were up.

Stay here.

Robbie. Robbie, come here!

(LAUGHS) I haven't done anything!

Haven't you, Robbie?
No, mate.

I promise.

Then you've got nothing
to worry about, have you?

I've been trying to keep
my nose clean, I swear.

You've got receipts for
everything in there, have you?

Mate, fully legit.
I got 'em from an importer.

Antiques, all genuine.

Wow. Seems like we might have
been misinformed, yeah?

(GRUNTS)
Sorry, Robbie, my elbow slipped.

(GRUNTS)
Sorry again.

Let me help you up.

So you're not trying to shift
the stuff from the Goldberg job?

What Goldberg job?

(GRUNTS)
VIhat'? I didn't catch that.

No, I swear!

You shouldn't swear in front of a lady.
You know better than that.

Now, why don't you do
some thinking for me.

(GROANS)

You thinking, are you?

Ahhh!
Tell him and he'll stop!

Alright, alright! it's...

..Dale Blunt.

COPELAND: New suspect.

Dale Blunt, Miller's partner.
Nasty piece of work.

Got form going back 15 years
including three counts of assault.

Now he's teamed up with the killer.

How reliable's your intel on this?
Very.

ALLIE: How very?

Comes from the fence who was
handling the merchandise.

Did you recover the jewellery?
Well...no.

According to him, Blunt still has it.

How do we know he wasn't just spinning
you a line to save his own skin?

Wanna back that up, buddy?

Adam Miller has always
worked alone in the past.

Why take on a partner now?
Especially one with form.

It's too risky.

Academy has a lot
to answer for these days.

They all think they're frigging FBI.
(LAUGHS)

What have you got here? Let's see.

Ah, Adam Miller. Priors.

'96, shoplifting.

'98, theft. '03, obtaining
property by deception.

'06, going equipped to steal,
aggravated burglary.

Are you picking up a pattern here,
Columbo?

Yeah, I get it.

There's escalation of Miller's MO.

Yeah, which makes him ripe to team up
with a violent thug like Blunt.

Two hostages requires two crooks.

I get it.
Good.

Besides, my source knows better
than to lie to me.

Why don't you ask Mapplethorpe here?

She was there when
I interrogated the little turd.

Jen?

No. No, I don't think he lied.

MATT:: So you think it's good?
Yeah.

OK.

ALLIE: We got an address for Blunt?
Mm-hm.

Well, let's go get him.
Easy, tiger.

It's happening even as we speak.

What?

In the spirit of cooperation,
since they got the information,

Armed Robbery are doing the bust.

Got a sec?

Sure. Come in.

Nice work, by the way.

I wanna make a complaint
against Copeland.

OK, let's just take a breath.
Matt...

I know the guy's a sleazebag,
but we're making progress on the case,

which is the main thing.

There's no excuse for what he did.

You wanna lodge a sexual harassment
complaint, you won't be the first.

No, it's not about me. Copeland crossed
the line in his treatment of Rob Doherty.

How?

Well, it started with a couple of
'accidental' elbows to the guts

and then he nearly broke
the guy's fingers.

Any other witnesses?
It was down a laneway.

He really worked him over.

Do you think Doherty
will sign a complaint?

No, he's terrified of Copeland.

You think he'll at least corroborate
your version to Ethical Standards?

Probably not.

But I'm telling you what happened.

Jen, if I take this further and Copeland
denies it and Doherty backs him up...

You said yourself
you thought the info was good.

The info is good.
His methods are criminal.

OK. I'll take it on board.
And do what?

(PHONE RINGS)

Dunny.

OK, you and Allie take him
in Interview 1.

Armed Rob's on their way in
with Dale Blunt.

So, what are you gonna
do about Copeland?

I said I'll take it on board.

Mattie, you can't let him
get away with this.

I'll see you tomorrow, Jen.

I hope your blokes have fun with this
dickhead. He bled all over my back seat.

All over my shirt - look.
What happened to him?

Oh, resisted arrest.
I had to use appropriate force.

Anyway, I'm gonna go get rid of
this stuff before it stains.

You guys give me a hoy
when you're done?

What, you're not gonna stick around
and see if he's our guy?

No. My blokes have got enough
evidence on him to start a museum.

No, he's going down for the armed rob.

I mean, if you can get Miller
for the murder too, great,

but, you know, it's not a deal-breaker.

DUNCAN: Gisela Goldberg.

She had her throat cut.

I had nothing to do with that.

Well, one of you did.
Makes sense to us it was you.

I mean, Adam Miller, he had
the inside knowledge on the shop.

He knew where all the most precious
merchandise was stored.

DUNCAN: He spent months learning
the trade, getting the expertise.

ALLIE: Well, why would he risk
sending you to the shop with the jeweller

when you might just come back with
a bag of sparkly glass?

Mmm, Miller's the brains.

He went shopping
and you held onto Gisela Goldberg.

And you cut her throat.

See, that's what's wrong with you lot.

You're so cynical.

You are.

(SIGHS) Say me and Millsy
did do the burg.

You mean armed rob.

Yeah.

And?

Well, Millsy figured you cops would think
he was the one that went to the shop

'cause he knew the layout.

Which we did.
So we switched.

Millsy told me where
everything was kept.

The safe, the top gear, everything.
He stayed with the wife?

Then it wouldn't look like
an inside job, see?

Clever.

Mmm.

So you maintain...

..that Miller did the murder.

That's right.

Millsy told me how much
he hated that bitch.

He must have taken the chance
to do her some damage.

I swear I had no prior knowledge
of what he was about to do.

You can't nail that on me.

You got a law degree, do you, Dale?
I know my rights.

Well, then tell us where
we can find Adam Miller.

What's in it for me?

We might be able to come to some sort
of arrangement if you give us Miller.

I want a deal in writing.

Of course you do.

OK, I'm gonna have a word
to my senior officer.

Sarge, I wanna take a closer look
at Isaac Goldberg.

Why's that?

I don't know. It's just a feeling.

Did we just watch the same interview?

Forget Goldberg. Adam Miller's our man.

Copeland's nailed it.
So that's a no?

Rhys, just for once,
try being a team player.

Sarge, what do you want me to do?

I'll step in, remind Blunt he's in
no position to make demands.

Perhaps we can wrap
this thing up here and now.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna talk to
the victim's sister again.

Ruth Engelman.
Mmm.

Sounds like something I'd do.

Matt's not gonna be happy.

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna tell Matt.

Now, Ruth, you said in your statement

that your sister and Isaac
had a good marriage.

Yes, I did.

Right.

You phrased it like this - “I'd come
to realise Isaac was devoted to her.”

“Come to realise”?
It just sounds a bit odd.

I used to have my doubts about their
relationship, but I don't anymore.

What sort of doubts?

My sister was a very strong woman.

She was definitely the dominant force
in that marriage.

Everything had to be her way.

Isaac, being Isaac,
would just grin and bear it.

OK, so he was fairly accommodating.
Yes.

They bought an old jewellery business
and moved into our family home.

Gisela had all the money -

a fact she liked to remind him of
often publicly as well.

I used to think Isaac resented it.
Used to?

Gisela would have been
a difficult person to love at times.

But the accident...

Isaac was courageous.

What accident?

About two years ago, we were
coming back from Daylesford -

my cousin's wedding,
all in convoy.

Isaac and Gisela were in a car
behind me and Great-Aunt Dodie.

But you crashed?

No, not us.

Isaac.

Took a shortcut off the highway.
I lost them.

By the time we got there,
it had already happened.

Their car had run off the road
into a dam.

Isaac had swum free,
but Gisela was stuck in the car.

I saw him go back.

He risked his life for her.

Gisela and Isaac might have
seemed like an odd couple,

but they'd become soul mates.

Everyone should have
someone so special.

Rhys, are you heading home?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, soon.

I hear Adam Miller's still missing.

Mmm.

What's this?

Well, this is a car accident
two years ago.

Single vehicle involved.
it was the Goldbergs.

Seems Isaac heroically
saved his wife from drowning.

I thought that Dale Blunt confirmed
that Miller killed Mrs Goldberg.

He cut a deal and he gave us
Miller's whereabouts too,

but he was wrong.

Look...can I run a theory past you?

Sure.

What if Isaac wasn't a hero
two years ago?

What if this was his first attempt
at getting rid of his wife

but he lost his nerve
when the sister-in-law's car turned up?

Is there anything in there
to support that?

Hmm, it's just a matter of interpretation.

Road they're on was seldom used
and it wasn't on their direct route home.

Well, how did he explain being there?
Said he took a shortcut.

Accident Investigation Team said
there was nothing wrong with the car.

Yeah, no skid marks on the road either.

He said he took a microsleep.
Drove off the road into the dam.

Wife was asleep at the time.

In fact, first she knew of it,

she was waking up
and the car was filling with water.

Isaac was gone.

She was a non-swimmer.

She had little chance.

Until her sister's car happened along.
Unexpectedly.

And that was the rest of the convoy

that should have been
safely out of sight on the freeway.

Yeah, like I said, it was just a gut feeling.

And yeah, maybe I'm wasting my time.

I mean, no-one else seems to have
a problem buying that it was Miller.

They've all got a lot more
runs on the board than I do.

Test your theory on your team.

I feel like I'm losing a friend.

Mmm, he put himself in a tough position.

Coming back as a sergeant to
his old squad was never gonna be easy.

Matt is one of the most principled people
I've ever known.

I could have a word if you want.

(LAUGHS) I don't need you
to fight my battles, thank you.

I didn't mean it like that.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Expecting someone?
No.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Matt!
Hey.

I felt bad about how we
left things this afternoon.

Oh. it's late - I'm in bed.

Yeah. Um...sorry.

No, no. I'm sorry.
We'll talk in the morning, OK?

OK.

Oh, Dale Blunt gave us an address
for Miller. A pub in Footscray.

Great! We get him?
No, he wasn't there. Cleared out.

(SIGHS) Shame.
Yeah.

Jen, if I'd had my way, we'd never have
gone near Armed Robbery or Copeland.

I know.

He's a throwback to the bad old days.
A bloody dinosaur.

Yes, he is.

It was Waverley's idea
to bring them on board.

She's got this bee in her bonnet
about changing the culture.

'Departmental collaboration', she calls it,

but really, it's all about
her making her mark

and it's me who's gotta make it work.

(chuckles) OK.

I'll let you get back to bed.

I'll see you in the morning.

Goodnight.

So it was all Waverley's fault.

You weren't supposed to hear that.

I could hardly help it.

I know. I know.

COPELAND: Better be good, Levitt.

Just get started, Rhys.

Alright. My theory is that Isaac Goldberg
is responsible for the murder of his wife.

(LAUGHS) Tied up
and two suburbs away!

Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure just yet.

Maybe he was working in tandem
with Adam Miller.

Nuh, been there, asked that.
Goldberg hasn't got the nuts.

Detective Levitt, what's your evidence?

Well, firstly, there's the matter
of the CCTV disc.

Which we assumed Blunt took
on Adam Miller's instruction

because the recording equipment
was well concealed.

Exactly. But when you think about it,
why would he take it?

I mean, he's wearing a balaclava.
His identity is already hidden.

He had no need to.

Dale Blunt's knocked over
three servos and a bottle shop,

and he always knocks out the CCTV.

Yeah, but I think there's
something else on that footage

we're not supposed to see.

Like Goldberg getting free
and leaving the shop?

(LAUGHS) Is there any forensics at all

linking Harry Houdini
to the murder scene?

Not as yet, but Gisela Goldberg's throat
was cut from behind. Why?

Miller was holding her in a head lock.
it's the easiest way to do it.

She's a middle-aged woman
restrained with duct tape.

I think it points to the killer having
an emotional connection to the victim.

The same reason
her eyes were taped shut.

So he didn't have to face her.
Please!

Adam Miller knew Gisela Goldberg
from the jewellery shop.

She was his employer.

None of this takes the spotlight
off Miller as our murderer.

No, it doesn't, but when you take into
account the previous accident...

Ma'am?

Well, don't you agree it could put
a whole new spin on the current case?

Yeah, actually, I was just getting to that.

I think Isaac Goldberg has tried
to kill his wife once before -

two years ago, in a car crash,
possibly staged to look like an accident.

Actually, it's all in here.

What's his motive? Insurance payout?

I think he hated her, pure and simple.

Look, obviously it's all
very circumstantial

and you'll need a lot more
if it's gonna fly,

but I think it's clearly worth
taking another look at Goldberg.

I don't mind, as long as I get
my two armed robs.

Do you have the resources, Sergeant?

Yes, ma'am.
Good.

Keep me informed.

Might be circumstantial, but I reck...

OK!

Let's see if we can find some concrete
evidence to back up Levitt's theory.

What exactly are we looking for?

Evidence pointing at Goldberg.

Rhys reckons he took
the surveillance disc.

So, why isn't he doing this?

He's back at the Goldbergs' house
looking for other clues.

And he convinced Matt?

He didn't have to, according to Allie.

He got Waverley on board
with his whole new theory.

OK, thank you very much for your help.

Anything?

The wound on Goldberg's forehead
was still bleeding when we found him.

So?
So I just spoke to the doctor at the ED.

He said that if the wound
had been inflicted hours earlier,

it would have clotted more.

He said in his opinion, it had been
bleeding for a much shorter time.

How does that fit?

Blunt admitted to hitting Goldberg
with the butt of his shottie.

If Rhys can take it to the top,
then so can I.

About Pete Copeland?
Yeah.

He's a menace
who needs to be stopped.

Hey, check this out.

No CCTV disc, but this is a match

on the duct tape used
to bind Isaac Goldberg.

So you're saying Goldberg
could have used it on himself.

Possible.

Or Dale Blunt simply grabs
the nearest roll of tape

and uses it to bind Isaac Goldberg.

I mean, it's still circumstantial.

Yeah, but it plants reasonable doubt
in a jury's mind. Blunt will testify.

He's not a credible witness.
The DPP is gonna need a lot more.

Alright - what about
the doctor at the ED?

Well, it doesn't get
more credible than that.

According to him, that head wound
shouldn't have still been bleeding.

Unless Goldberg bumped his head
trying to free himself.

I'm sorry, Rhys.
it's all looking pretty wafer thin.

The DPP would laugh at us.

Yeah, you're right, sorry.

I've wasted everyone's time.
(PHONE RINGS)

Matt Ryan.

OK, thanks, Pete.

Rhys!

Armed Robbery have arrested
Adam Miller. They're bringing him in.

I wonder if he could give us the
lowdown on the jewellers' relationship.

Rhys, you can talk to him
as much as you like,

but first, Copeland and I are gonna nail
him for the murder of Gisela Goldberg.

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
Excuse me, ma'am.

Do you have a moment?
Yeah, sure. Come in.

Have a seat.

Did you have a word with
Sergeant Ryan this morning?

Sergeant Ryan and I exchanged
several words this morning.

Which ones in particular
are you referring to?

About Sergeant Copeland.

What about him?

Ma'am, I know
departmental collaboration is useful...

Go on.

And I know we're all on
the same team, ma'am,

but turning a blind eye
to unethical behaviour...

Jennifer, what exactly
are you talking about?

Copeland assaulted a witness
in order to obtain information.

You saw this happen?
Yes, I was there.

Did you try to intervene?

Yeah. Stupid question.

And you told Sergeant Ryan about this.

I'm sure that Sergeant Ryan
was gonna raise this with you, ma'am.

I will look into it.

Er, are you in a rush, Sergeant?

We've got Adam Miller, ma'am.

Oh, good. Who's going into interview?

Me and Copeland.

Right.

You might be interested to know
that Ethical Standards

has just launched an investigation
into Detective Sergeant Copeland.

Ma'am.

One of his informants, Robert Doherty,
has come forward,

complaining that
Copeland assaulted him.

Did you hear anything about that?

I did hear something, ma'am.

I was under the impression Doherty
would be unlikely to make a complaint.

Oh, did you speak to him?

No, ma'am. Not yet.

(SIGHS)

Sergeant, departmental collaboration
is important,

but if we condone violence,

we absolutely betray the people
who look to us for leadership.

I'm sure ESD will be keen to get
your report for their investigation.

(SCOFFS)

Yes, ma'am.

We met at a pub,
he found out where I worked

then came up with a plan to do
the robbery - it was all his idea.

Don't you have any ideas of your own?
Yeah.

Did you tell Dale where to find
the CCTV disc?

No.
Oh, come on, Millsy.

You'd do that to protect
a mate, wouldn't you?

He was wearing a balaclava.
It wouldn't matter.

Back at the house, Adam -
did Gisela Goldberg recognise you?

Is that why you had to shut her up?

No, I didn't touch her.

What's your gut feeling on this guy?
Oh, it's not as strong as Matt's.

Why'd you put tape over her eyes?
What?

Gisela Goldberg. Was it so she
couldn't see you slit her throat?

Is he for real?

I'd answer the question. You never
know what he might do to you.

I didn't put anything over her eyes.
I didn't kill her.

So, who did?
I don't know.

Ah! I got it, Millsy.

You don't wanna be a dog,
and I can understand that.

Nobody liked the old cow either.

It could have been anyone
who killed her.

Even her own husband
couldn't stand her.

Isaac Goldberg loved his wife.
In public, maybe.

But I worked at that shop for months.

Every time she came in, she'd complain
about something he wasn't doing right.

He'd be all “Yes, dear. No, dear.”

But after she'd gone,
he'd bitch and moan about her.

Yes!
Nice.

Thanks for your 'help' in there, mate.

Mate, you are lucky I don't
drop you here and now.

You went to Waverley about me.
I have got ESD breathing down my neck.

It's out of my hands.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet that's your line on everything.

You're a bloody thug.

(SCREAMS) I get results!

Bugger results!

Don't you ever compromise
a member of my team again!

Or what?

I'll have you myself.

AS if.

Sarge.
What?

I want a go at Goldberg.

Fine.

We do it together.

I told you what happened.

I don't know why
you refuse to believe me.

Oh, no, look -the robbery
happened like you said.

Dale Blunt knocked you unconscious
with the butt of his shotgun.

But then you woke up,
you were alive.

It was still the middle of the night.

You managed to untie yourself.
Maybe you even started to call the cops.

But then you had another idea -

an idea that you had been
dreaming about for years.

I don't dream.

Do you remember the look of relief
in your wife's eyes

when you got home, Mr Goldberg?

She thought you were there
to rescue her.

She thought the nightmare was over.

Like the time you rescued her
at the dam. Do you remember that?

What?
The dam.

What are you talking about?

The first time you tried
to kill your wife, Isaac.

I saved her.

So you got the knife from the kitchen.

And you put on gloves.

You cut a strip away from around her
ankles and used it to cover her eyes.

Now she knew something was wrong.

Did she start to struggle, Isaac?

This is your story, not mine.

Even with her eyes covered,
you couldn't look at her.

So you got behind her and slit her throat.

Messy business, cutting a throat.

Blood spurts out.

How's it going?

Rhys has laid the groundwork.

Mattie's on board.
ALLIE: At last.

MATT:: You hadn't counted on that,
had you, Isaac?

RHYS: No, you hadn't planned for
anything, really, had you?

God, if only she had
drowned in that dam,

life would have been
so much simpler, wouldn't it?

You knew you had to clean yourself up.

You took a shower.

Dried yourself with your towel.

Two people lived in that house, but we
only found one towel in the bathroom.

You cleaned up the scene, didn't you?

Washed the knife,
then you went back to the store.

You'd done it.

You had finally done it.
You were thrilled, elated!

You were free, weren't you?
You were clean.

But you couldn't be found
all nice and clean

because Dale Blunt had
whacked you in the head.

Yeah, you had a gash.

Problem was it had pretty much
stopped bleeding by then.

So you fixed that.

So many things can go wrong.

Like that other car.

What other car?

The one that arrived
after you'd driven into the dam.

Ah, you thought you'd lost them.

Your wife's relatives.

But so many things can go wrong.

CCTV.

Ooh, that was lucky.

It was close, wasn't it?
You got the disc.

Got rid of it.
Tied yourself up as best you could.

Then you waited for us to turn up.

Was that what it felt like

when you swam out of the car?

A rebirth, freedom?

Then your sister-in-law's car
turned up, didn't it?

You had to go back.
You had to save your beloved wife.

I'm a good person.

Yeah, but you do a lot of things wrong,
don't you?

It's called 'being married', Detective.

When you were coming back
from Daylesford -

what had you done this time?

Did you pick the wrong tie?
Did you eat too loudly, speak too softly?

Did you embarrass her?
I didn't do anything wrong.

Yeah, but she still found
something to peck at, didn't she?

If only that car hadn't caught up!

Everything would have ended
at the dam, just like you planned.

Alright, alright!

She loved to...humiliate me

in front of everyone.

She loved to put me down...

..belittle me.

But not anymore.

I enjoyed...cutting her throat and...

..shutting her up once and for all.

I enjoyed it.

NICK: Nice work, guys.
Nice work, Rhys. Followed his gut.

DUNCAN: Forget about his gut.
What about his balls?

Could you say that any louder, Duncan?
Well done. You cracked him!

I honestly had no idea how
he'd react to that accident stuff,

but sometimes you gotta go on instinct.

Rhys, you might be
nearly as good as you say you are.

NICK: Oh, come on. Not that good.

DUNCAN: I'd like to see Copeland's face
when he gets the news.

I'd be happy if I never saw
Copeland's face ever again.

MATT:: Detective Levitt?

When you're done.

Close the door.

You're pretty happy with
how this case turned out.

Well, we got the right killer, Sarge.

In the end.

Why didn't you come to me earlier?

Well, I told you I had
a suspicion about Goldberg.

But you didn't tell me
you had any evidence.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

And in spite of my orders,

you went outside the chain of command
to Commander Waverley.

No, look - she saw me working
the case, then she quizzed me about it.

It ended up being just a couple of cops

reviewing the evidence
and tossing ideas around - that's all.

Don't blame Commander Waverley

when you knew full well
what you were doing.

She walked into that room and she
knew more about the case than I did.

I wasn't trying to
undermine your authority.

I didn't know she was going to come in.
Crap!

(MUFFLED) You must think
I'm a complete idiot!

That's exactly what you did -
undermine my authority.

Well...

A stunt like that makes it
impossible for me to do my job.

And then, in the middle of
a crucial interview,

you pulled out that photo of the towel.

Because it made sense. It was a tactic.

It was circumstantial.

You were bluffing,

and I should have known about it.

You got lucky.
But that's you all over, isn't it?

(MUFFLED) You think you can just
waltz into this workplace,

proud of your big Oxford degree,
like you know it all?

You think that's how it works?

Isaac Goldberg is our killer.
Wasn't it worth it?

(SIGHS)

If this happens again,
you're out of this squad.

I don't care who your aunty is.

Understood?

Yes, Sergeant.

Get out.

(ESKIMO JOE SINGS)
