Peregrine.

Detective Steed.

Well, nobody's left the area.

It was only us
and then some others

who've gone up
to the rowing sheds.

Okay.

Do we know who it is?

Mr. Morris Dunnet,
according to his license.

He hasn't been
in the water long.

He's tied up,
so it's obviously murder.

And there's this odd
shiny patch just here.

JAMES: We'll get a sample.

Constable, make sure you get
that off his wrist, please.

CONSTABLE: Yes, sir.

Ah, Samuel hooked him
just over there.

JAMES: You don't want to help?

It's a beautiful day for it.

Peregrine, have I done something
to annoy you?

More than usual?

No!

So, can't be seen
from the picnic ground.

And there's no access
from anywhere else.

So he was probably attacked here
and then put into the water.

What do you think they are?

JAMES: Drag marks.

Maybe a boat.

Why would you land it here when
there's a ramp at the boat hire?

Right. Where is it now?

There was a girl at
the boat hire when we arrived.

Yes.

the dinghy about an hour ago.

The River Nymph.

I must have forgotten
to tie it up

taken it, and Morris went...

I'm such an idiot.

What'd you do after he went
to look for the boat?

I just got ready to open up,

PEREGRINE: Did Morris have
any enemies?

Any worries?

Well, he got into an argument

with the council
a few months ago.

They talked about wanting
to knock the shed down

because it wasn't built
to regulations,

and Morris got very angr--
Well, he got upset.

Upset with anyone

he roughed her up?

PEREGRINE: I think she's still

The recent rains have activated
many freshwater species.

Mm. Did you rent fishing tackle

I have no need to hire.

-The victim.

Ahh.

Cleaning. Houses, mainly.

And when did you arrive here?

Ah, late yesterday.

PEREGRINE: What made you choose

Well, I usually look for
somewhere I haven't been before.

Did you know Morris Dunnet?

The poor dead man?
No, I'm afraid not.

Bye-bye, dears.

So nobody knew Morris Dunnet

He killed his wife?
Of course!

That trial was everywhere.
That's why I remember the name.

Well, he was actually acquitted.

But he did it, didn't he?

Yes, that's the assumption.

And according to Sparrow,

he knew the bloke
who ran the investigation,

the case against Dunnet
was rock solid.

Witnesses testified
he'd fly into rages.

He was violent towards Irene.

He said he'd kill her.

Plus there was blood
in his house, on his clothes,

and he had no alibi.

Why did he get off?

JAMES: Irene's body
was never found.

Hard to prove a murder
without a body.

Very. But the question is,
did Babs know about his past?

But, James, even if she did,

there's no way that she could
have killed him by herself.

JAMES: Dare I say it, Peregrine,
but I think you're right.

I'll call you back.

I've done an analysis
of the shiny substance

on the victim's hand.

What is it?

Machine oil.

Did you grease your boat seat
with that this morning,

-Mr. Quinn?
-'Course.

-JAMES: Get any on your hands?
-Maybe. Hard not to.

There was machine oil
on Morris Dunnet's wrist.

Any idea how it got there?

None at all.

Right, just a coincidence.

Did you know that
he was married?

Yes.

His wife walked out on him.

No, Babs.

His wife disappeared
eight years ago.

Morris was tried for her murder.

The only reason he got off is
that they never found her body.

something for you too.

[ Knock on door ]

Ah, hello. Come in.

Hi.

Forensics have just come back.

Morris Dunnet had traces
of anesthetic in his system.

Chloroform.
After I spoke to Babs,

I found this bottle
down by the riverbank.

Violetta's just analyzed it.

Right, and -- and so the killer
drugged him with chloroform

and then tied him up.

And then pushed him
into the river.

It's quite an elaborate murder.

I dug up Irene Dunnet's
murder file.

-From the archives.
-And?

Last seen arguing with Morris
at the front of their house.

29 years of age.

She taught classical guitar.

Married for six years.

Classical guitar?

Suzie said that
she's a music student.

And the fingernails on her
right hand are much longer

than the ones on her left...

which is how classical
guitarists have to have them

in order to pluck the strings.

You think she's been taught
by Irene Dunnet?

-It's a thought.
-JAMES: There's more than one

classical guitar teacher
in Melbourne.

Actually,
I have her photos here.

Anything of interest in them?

Er, nothing.

-Oh.

Um, actually nothing.

There's no people, no birds,
there's no focus.

PEREGRINE: Maybe Suzie wasn't
a good photographer.

Maybe.
But if I had to guess,

I'd say that these photos
were taken by someone

who just wanted to look like
they were taking photos.

Please.

I've never been
in a police station.

Where do you keep the baddies?

-Prison.
-SUZIE: Ha!

Take a seat, Miss Lew.

You study classical guitar,
Suzie?

Yes. Why?

Have you ever had
the teacher Irene Dunnet?

I...

don't remember.

JAMES: Well, she disappeared.

Perhaps that jogs your memory.

Yes.

Yes, maybe we did have her
for a while.

Irene Dunnet was Morris Dunnet's
wife, this morning's victim.

But you said that you'd never
heard the name Dunnet.

-So why'd you lie?
-I didn't.

We just used to call her Irene.

Did you ever come into contact

with Morris Dunnet
during your lessons?

Hardly ever.

What were you really doing
at the river this morning?

Taking photos.

Like I told you.

Photos...

of nothing?

It's a new camera.

I'm still learning.

Now can I go?

Even if she did only know her
as Irene,

her name was all over
the papers during that trial.

Right. So is she lying about
anything else?

I don't know.

But it's a connection
to the victim.

Mm.

What about this for a theory?

-Suzie...
-JAMES: Mm.

...follows Morris
around the riverbend,

and then Frank Quinn rows in
on his scull

and they chloroform him
together.

But why bother
with the chloroform?

'Cause Frank's a big guy.

He could overpower Morris
without it.

I don't know.

Oh, that's nice.

When did you get that?

Ah, today.

It's not like you to splurge.

Oh, that's very good.

You still picked the lock

Oh, of course.

PEREGRINE: Hi.

Hello.

Are you alright?

You know, since I met Morris,

I've barely left this river.

He never let me go anywhere.

Never wanted to leave
the hut himself.

I don't know what to do
with myself anymore.

Whatever you want.

Oh, that's pretty groovy.

That was a gift from Morris.

It's the only nice thing
he's ever given me.

I've thought about selling it,

but it's probably a fake,
isn't it?

Still, Mrs. Holdstock
admired it too.

When she was here
a few weeks ago.

Said it reminded her
of someone she loved.

the one with the picture
of Irene and Abraham.

Have you got it?

Yeah, hang on.

Peregrine, um, last night.

I didn't, um --
I didn't do anything?

You were a perfect country boy.

Mm.

I got it.

Ah, Irene's wearing a ring.

Can you describe it for me?

Sort of angular.
It's modern.

Central stone.

It's quite distinctive.

Yes. Yes, it is.

James, I know what happened.

The reason that I've asked you
all here today starts with you,

Mrs. Holdstock.

Me?

-How thrilling.
-Peregrine?

It was a coincidence that
you camped here a few weeks ago.

But when you met Babs,

you straight away noticed
her very distinctive ring.

A ring that you knew once
belonged to Irene Dunnet.

And you knew that because
you were her house cleaner,

weren't you?

Peregrine.

Morris Dunnet,

the man who got away with
Irene's murder,

what carrying on his nasty ways

with yet another
vulnerable woman.

So you got in touch
with her grieving brother...

What the hell are you doing?

...her guilt-stricken pastor
and her devoted pupil,

whose own brother
was another one

of Morris Dunnet's
innocent victims.

Four people who all wanted
to kill Morris Dunnet.

On the day of the murder,
Mr. Sifo,

you arrived here
early enough to steal a dinghy.

When Morris went to look for it,
you followed him,

Suzie, with your camera, to lure
him towards the stolen boat.

There was a risk
that he might recognize you,

but he hadn't seen you
since you were 14.

Meanwhile, Abraham came back
and Frank rode in on his scull.

Mrs. Holdstock, you make
your own cleaning products.

You knew how to make chloroform.

♪♪

The dinghy would sink
downstream.

Nobody would know where Morris
had sailed away to,

and his body wouldn't be found
until long after you'd all left.

And that would have happened

if my friend Samuel
hadn't hooked Morris's body

while you were all still
at the river.

What are you digging for?

I know what she's digging for.

Morris built this shed
eight years ago,

right after Irene disappeared.

Oh, God.

Help me?

FRANK: This was Irene's.

How did you know?

A body that was never found

and a controlling man
who lost his temper

when the council threatened
to knock down his shed.

Thank you, dear.

Can I remind you all that
a human life has been taken.

Quite right.
And someone has to pay.

I'm an old woman whose dicky
heart will give out any day.

-So it seems fair that it be me.
-What?

-JAMES: No.
-Mrs. Holdstock, no!

Years I spent watching that man

abuse, beat, terrorize Irene.

I've always wished
that I'd done something.

And now I have. I killed him.

No, that's not how it works.

That is not justice.

Oh, Detective.

Who here can look at what he did
to her and not call it justice?

One cold-case murder solved,

I don't think it's

Steed, you want some advice?

Not really, no.

You don't get many gift horses
in this life,

so when one trots up,
be grateful

and don't look
too closely at its teeth.

Sally!

-Hey.
-What's all that about?

It's just work stuff.

Hey, look, I'm sorry.

It's all just sort of caught up
with me lately.

It's alright.

I know how your job
can take over sometimes.

-Oh, I got you.
-Ah!

I've got a handkerchief
in here somewhere --

I've got mine. It's fine.

Where's your watch?

No, I -- I must have --
left that at home.

Yeah.

Yeah.

PEREGRINE: Sally, come on up.

Sorry to drop by unannounced.

No, not at all.

Ah, what can I do for you?

I won't keep you.

It's just that Jim has
misplaced the watch I gave him

and I wondered if
he'd left it here last night.

Oh, um...

Ah, there it is.

Oh, we were working on a case.

Of course.

Peregrine, I trust Jim.

We have a very
close relationship.

In fact, has he mentioned
that I'm selling my house

and moving to Melbourne?

No.
But oh, wow, how exciting.

Isn't it.

Oh, I wasn't expecting

You threw my marriage proposal
right back into my face.

I just wanted
to slow things down.

I didn't want to break up
altogether.

What is the difference?

Oh.

You know, you're not a bad-

I want to ask a question

Come on, go out with me.
