(COUNTRY MUSIC INSTRUMENTAL)

Nice day for it.
Roxy not with you?

Down south at a
kick-boxing tournament.

Might go check out
the giant pumpkins.

Yeah, they're, uh, worth a look.

CROWD CHANTS: Simon! Simon!
Simon! Simon! Simon! Simon!

(STRAINS)

(CRASH!)

Yeah! (LAUGHS)

Look at me in the room!

I am Simon! Yeah!

Jesus.

(GROWLS)

I warned you.
Stop messing around.

What? Giving people what they want?

This is a family show.
Pull your socks up, girl.

I'm a fairy. Don't wear socks.

(APPLAUSE)

All I know is ifs not
working at the moment.

Of course ifs working!

Small technical issue.
It will be sorted uno momento.

Who the hell are you?

Frodo.

Well, where's Johnny?
He was supposed to meet me here.

He just asked me to hold the fort while he
sorted out the emergency safety fuse or-

Uh! It's nothing. It's bloody
safe the way it is, all right'?

Don't shoot the messenger, dude.
I'm just doing my cousin a favour.

Listen, Flippo-
Frodo.

I'm gonna take a ride
through to deem it safe.

When I'm out the other side,
start taking the tickets.

You're eating one of my hotdogs.

You made this?

Yeah, I call it a Frododog.
11 secret herbs and spices-

You should call it a Fidodog.
Tastes like dog roll.

Ladies and gentlemen, (CHUCKLES) things will soon
be underway after a small, infinitesimal glitch!

Be prepared, get ready to be
scared to death! (LAUGHS)

(GHOSTLY CACKLE ECHOES)

Pull the bloody lever!

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Yeah, what do you want?

(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

She's not in there.
Oh, well, c'est la vie.

Don't look so relieved.

I can't pretend to be a believer.

It was just meant to be a bit of
fun. We might've learnt something.

Like what?
I dunno. The future?

Not likely. She was in the middle of
reading my tarot, lost the plot and left.

Bad news?

Bad business. Hope I get a refund.

(GASPS, MOANS)

Ewan...

(LINE RINGS)

WOMAN: Hello? Are you there?

(GASPS, BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

Ghost!

WOMAN: What service do you require?
Police, Fire, or Ambulance?

Hello?

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Apparently his
last word was 'ghost'.

I'm not sure if that's profound
or just telling it like it is.

All the classic
signs of a cardiac arrest.

It must've been one scary ride.

I guess so.

Sorry, DSS Mike Shepherd...

DC Breen.

Off duty.

Aren't we all?

Dr Jackie Lee.

Probably an underlying condition, although men
of a certain age do enter the 'danger zone'.

God... I thought you
were getting butterflies!

She did it.

Angry fairies, heart attacks. It's all
fun and games at the A&P this year.

Nice meeting you, and
good luck with your day off.

As a matter of interest, the deceased was the
owner of the amusement rides - Harold Wilbury.

The Wilbury Brothers. They travel the
country bringing joy to the provinces.

A family business
for three generations.

You do realise you're not
actually working, right?

I was curious.

Good thing you're not a cat.

You should get on with your day.

Sure.

Chess, A&P shows. I'll be
giving a best man speech next.

I didn't know you
were mates with Kahu.

I'm not really,
but knowing Kristin, I thought...

So bridesmaid then.
MAN: It's OK, Simon. Simon.

(MOANS LOUDLY)
It'll be OK.

(GRUNTS)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(YELLS)

Whoa. Hey, brother. Hey, hey,
hey. Deep breaths! Deep breaths.

Sorry. Simon's urn, Harold's brother.

He's a- He's a- He's a little bit on the simple side.
He's just trying to comprehend what's happened.

Difficult to understand
at the best of times.

I'm really strong. I can crush things
with my bare hands. Good to know.

OK, that's enough, Simon. That's enough.
Come on, let's get you a hot drink.

Let's go and get a hot drink.

I remember taking
this ride as a kid.

It's not that scary.

(KNOCKS AT DOOR)

Mike.

Sorry to disturb.

For you, Mike, it
is never a bad time.

Harold Wilbury...
The man from the Ghost Train?

I'm waiting to hear from the coroner
to see if he wants me to get stuck in.

You didn't notice anything unusual? No. He
was stripped and I put him in the fridge.

Routine, then?
I think so.

Can I ask you a question?

Of course.

If you were dying, what do you
think your last words would be?

Ya by khotel, chtoby
Facebook moya mama I papa.

'I would like to Facebook
my Mum and Dad'.

To tell them I love them.

You can't always rely on the phones.

Can you do me a favour?

You were at the A&P show?
Never miss it.

Sun, food, rural displays,
country music - what's not to like?

In Russia we have similar days, it's
all bears and yaks and Kalashnikovs.

A Dr Lee indicated all the hallmarks
of severe myocardial infarction.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

Do you see that?

Can you"?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Traces of blood.

What do you think? Mosquito?

Too big.

Snake?

Perhaps a vampire.
Except vampires aren't real.

Neither are ghosts, but he was
on a train made for ghosts.

And New Zealand is snake-free.

Only an autopsy will explain them.
I'll call the coroner.

A&P Shows - never a dull moment.
(CHUCKLES)

You wanna come in for a quickie?

Speed chess?
Yeah.

And there was that
game of tennis you promised.

Did I promise that?

A promise is in the ear of the beholder. Isn't that
what they say? No, that's not one I've ever heard.

Until now.

OK. Sounds good.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Sorry.

Your husband calling?

Hold that thought.

Not the one about Mike being my
husband. That's all kinds of weird.

Mike.

Yeah, um...

OK.

ah.

OK, yep. Got it.

Another time perhaps?
Occupational hazard.

(UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC)

Vampires?

Snakes?
Obviously neither.

So the marks on his neck are connected how?
By being unexplained.

Gina is continuing
a detailed examination.

It wasn't a heart attack, then?

Oh, it was.
Post-modem confirmed that.

So what are we thinking happened?

Well, if I knew that,
I wouldn't have called you.

He's got his 'hunch' on.

I feel like by the end, 'death by
vampire' is going to be the easy option.

Come on, fella. I can't just stop.
We're on a schedule.

It's a precaution.

Can I help?

This cop wants me to stop.

Sony. Why?

We need to firm up the exact cause of
Mr Wilbury's death for the coroner.

Well, we have to get our equipment off-site
before the council start charging extra.

Where is my brother?

At the mortuary. Then we'll
collect him and be on our way.

We'll need to clear
that with the coroner.

My brother had a heart attack. We want
him here so we can show our respects.

And I assure you that will
happen as soon as possible.

But not today?
Not today.

Why the interest in the Ghost Train?
Because it's where he died.

That's it? Are you saying it's a
crime scene? Not necessarily.

Sol don't understand.
But it could be?

It's a sudden death, so we need to look at everything
including exactly where he died. That's all.

Sounds like a crime scene.

You can appreciate it's been a helluva day.
There's a lot of sadness in the team.

I'm sure.

Do you have a warrant?
No.

See, that says a lot right there.

Look, I would like to do this with
your co-operation, if that's OK.

Yeah, and why would I do that?

Because if something untoward happened to
your brother, wouldn't you want to know?

Well, of course.

Then perhaps we should take a look.

Yeah, just... Look,
leave the Ghost Train there.

Right, best we set up camp then.

(SNIFFLES, YELLS)

Simon!

Simon! Come on.

Move, move.

Come on.

Q

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

People get in the carriage, I pull the lever,
they go through the doors, get some scares,

come out here buzzing.

I Good times, man. I

The most popular
ride in the Wilbury empire.

How long does it take?

A minute. You can get a
lotta scares into a minute.

It's value for money. No question.

I remember riding it
for the first time as a kid.

Changed my life.

I was 5 years old, and I knew that when I grew
up I wanted to be the guy that pulled the lever.

But you weren't pulling the lever
when Mr Wilbury went through.

Nah.

Had to let Harold know it was inoperable due
to a missing fuse on the emergency brake.

So I got my cousin to hold the fort.

You're Frankie Oades' cousin?
Frodo.

Wouldn't that mean Frodo
needed an operator's license?

He was meant to hold the fort, not
fire the bloody thing up.

The ride worked even with
a burnt out fuse?

Independent circuit.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of an emergency
brake? Why? It's only for emergencies.

And besides it wasn't burnt out.
It was missing.

You're saying it was removed?

Or maybe it just fell out.

In my experience fuses
don't just fall out.

You're a detective, right?
Yeah.

So not an electrician, then?

Uh, (CLEARS THROAT)
Track Frodo down.

So you and Harold had separated?

Yeah, not that long ago. Six months.

Look, I knew how to run the business, and Harold
charged around telling everyone what to do.

It worked.

So when we split, that was personal, not
business so I was always going to stick around.

This is what I know.

You say 'personal'?
We grew apart. It happens.

Still, must've been awkward?
No, not really.

Harold and I lived the same life,
just in separate caravans.

Having been married, you'd be aware
of any underlying heart issues?

He'd had a medical recently.
He was given the all-clear.

A medical? (NONCHALANTLY)
For life insurance purposes?

No. A bank loan.
To expand things.

So as far as you know he
didn't have any life insurance?

Do we look like the sort of people that
could stretch to that kind of thing?

Sorry. Sims, time to take the tour.

Thanks.

The Mothership. People track
down here and then around there.

That's the Ghost Snake.

(HISSING)
We call him Fang. (CHUCKLES)

(DARK CIRCUS MUSIC)

And that's the Ghost Bride. We call her Bonnie.
The veil lifts, and there's the skeleton.

Kinda funny, but also freaky as. With dry ice
and spooky music, people get a real kick.

Works every time.

Watch this.

(LOUD CACKLE)

(DARK CIRCUS MUSIC)

Yep.

This way.

VAMPIRE: I vant to suck yer blood!
Cool, huh?

That's the Ghost Vampire -
we call him The Count.

(WAILING)

That's Bob.

The ghost Ghost?
You got it.

That's a lot of ghosts. Well it's called
The Ghost Train - A train full of ghosts.

And this all takes a minute?
12 scares - one every five seconds.

Never use it unless the saloon
doors get jammed or something.

I presume it's not locked?

Well, nah. It's for emergencies.

You don't want to be fumbling for your keys when
you're in a hurry, right? Wouldn't be safe.

Engine trouble?

Not just that. Generator running
the fridge has stopped.

Gonna lose all my sausages
if I don't get it started.

I thought you were a mechanic.

Apprentice - before
it all turned to crap.

Listen, I need a statement. You were operating
the Ghost Train when Harold Wilbury-

Oh, come on, man.

I only pulled the lever, and only
cos that Harold dude told me to!

Still gonna need a statement. So when you get
back on the road, swing by the station, OK?

Fine.

You want me to call a towie?

Nah, too expensive.

Hey could you hold something for me?

A man goes on a ride and exits after 60 seconds,
dying moments later from a severe coronary attack.

His last word being...

Plus he had two unexplained
marks on his neck.

There's not a lot to go on.
Yet.

He could've just had a heart attack.
No. There's more to this.

Oh, Let me guess - you've discovered oil in the
hills of Brokenwood and are now a millionaire.

No.

I found Frodo.

OK, I'm gonna give it heaps.

Yeah.
Just put your thumb over that pipe.

Press hard.
Wait. Which pipe? Cos there's sev-

(SPLAT!)

...several.

Where are we headed with this?

I mean, we've got no motive, no suspects, no
witnesses not even a specific cause of death.

When John Lennon was shot, do you
know what his last words were?

'I've been shot'.

So he chose to state the obvious.
Perhaps.

But in that moment he left no doubt.
'I've been shot'.

(swans)

Imagine you're dying, right?
You've got one breath left.

What would your last words be?

OK, well, this is weird, but I would probably
want someone to tell Roxy, you know,

that I love her.

Well, that's not weird.
That's sweet.

All right, what about you?
Who would you be talking about?

Oh... well, look, I'd...

Come on. I spilled.

I take Mike's point.

Harold Wilbury died saying 'Ghost'.
Was he trying to send a message?

Exactly. But was it
'Ghost full stop' or 'Ghost...'?

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Was he wanting to say more?

I mean, what did he mean?

The ghost snake, the ghost vampire, the
bride, and there's even a ghost ghost.

Look, as Johnny said,
'It's a train full of ghosts'.

Regardless, that man had ridden that
contraption a hundred times. He owned it.

Nothing was going to give him a fright other
than something completely unexpected.

Reason enough to dig further.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

(BOTH TALK INDISTINCTLY)

Usual thanks, Rodriguez.

Mrs Marlowe...
Jean, please.

Sad news about Harold Wilbury.

Indeed.

Any sense of foul play? My understanding
is it was a heart attack.

Oh. Routine.

I knew his mother, Olwyn. We were at
nursing school together in the 60's.

The family were from here?

Tahuna Point, but travelers now.

Oh, she was a true matriarch.

Ran that business with an iron fist.

Dead now, sadly.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Old age, they say, but as I say, 'There's no
such thing as old age; just aging attitude.'

Was it a heart condition,
do you know?

Uh, kidney failure in the end.

Now it'll be hard for Marty, being
the youngest and having to step up.

There's Simon, of course, who's
a lovely boy but dumb as a post.

Double shot soy macchiato with cow's
milk foam and turmeric. That's rne.

Cheers, Detective.

Long black.

Ta.

Right.

Why don't we start with... I had nothing
to do with that dude carking it.

Yeah, we're just after witness accounts
so we can piece together events.

Thought he died of a heart attack.
He did.

So what else is there to know?

How about you just
tell me what you saw?

I didn't see nothing.
I was just selling Frododogs...

One Frododog with 11
secret herbs and spices.

Thanks.
Enjoy.

Cuz, I need your help.
I'm busy here.

Hey, you've got help. I don't.

But...
Now, cuz! Don't ask. Do.

Hold the fort, yeah?

Your cousin Johnny
seemed very insistent.

Yeah, he had to find his boss.
Something about a bung fuse.

That's when Johnny's boss
turned up. Rude as...

I call it a Frododog - 11 secret herbs and
spices... You should call it a Fidodog.

Tastes like dog roll.

Pull the bloody lever!

(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Yeah, what do you want?

I only pulled the lever
like he told me to.

Any idea who he was talking to on the
phone? No. I'm not an eavesdropper.

And when he came out was
he still on the phone?

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

Nah, I don't reckon.

When he first got to the
Ghost Train, was Johnny with him?

Nah. He came later.

Oh, Christ. Get out of my way.

Get down to the Ghost Train.
Harold's carked it.

Oh, um, just one more thing.

Did you sell Harold the Frododog?

I Nah. Kimberly must've. I.

Hey, what happened to the ice
cream business? Freezer blew up.

Turns out if you can't keep the ice cream cold, it's,
like, really hard to put in the cones so, yeah.

Frodo says that Wilbury was taking a call on
his phone just as he entered the Ghost Train.

There was no phone in his personal
effects. We need to locate that.

I'll look into that.

And he'd just finished
half a Frododog.

What if his heart attack was triggered
by some fast-acting botulism or-

...a toxin of some kind?

You think maybe he was poisoned?

Yes.
You are right...

Well...
And also very wrong.

No botulism could act that quickly.

There would be obvious swelling or
inflammation around the affected organs.

I detected nothing of this kind.

All toxins show up somehow..

So it wasn't poisoning?

Except KCI.

Potassium Chloride.

Isn't that what they use
in lethal injections?

The very same.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Q

Potassium Chloride kills by causing sudden
hyperkalaemia, resulting in the stopping of the heart.

In other words it creates
a heart attack. Correct.

And the curious thing is when
a person has a heart attack,

the body naturally releases
unusually high levels of KCI.

So any added level is disguised
by the body's natural response.

An overdose is naturally masked.

You are keeping up well.

When used for the death penalty, it's injected.
Can it be consumed in any other way?

Typically it is taken orally.

Pills?
Yes.

But for KCI to kill through ingestion,
it would take so many pills.

Was the KCI level any higher than if Wilbury
just had a naturally occurring heart attack?

Maybe.
Maybe? So you have no evidence?

Maybe I would have had no evidence
if I hadn't stayed up all night

combing Mr Wilbury's body
with a fine toothbrush.

Comb.
What?

Nothing.

And...?
Here.

Between the 'a' and the 'd' I found a puncture
mark notable by the red blood cells in the tissue.

It marked a hole
directly into a large vein.

From an injection.

Almost certainly.

Such holes usually heal over quickly
unless the victim dies shortly after.

So the healing
stopped as soon as he died.

The healing never began at all.
(BEEP!)

Gina, how long does
potassium chloride take to work?

Once it hits the bloodstream, it
can take effect within a minute.

The exact length of
the Ghost Train ride.

But if KCI typically leaves no trace,
how do we know that was the cause?

We don't until toxicology
rules out everything else.

But we do have the injection mark
administered close to the time of death.

If this was the contributing factor,
this wasn't a spontaneous killing.

The offender had to have planned
this days, if not weeks, in advance.

And as far as any initial motive goes,
Harold never had life insurance,

so...

depending on the beneficiaries of his
will, that is unlikely to be a driver.

We need to find out more...

about Harold Wilbury.

He was taken too soon, but if there's any
consolation he died doing what he loved most

on the ride that he loved the most -

the Ghost Train.

He loved that thing.
Grew up with it, operated it...

Taught others, saw
thousands get their thrills.

Anyhow, here's to our boss
and my beloved big brother, Harold.

Harold!

Harold.

Sorry to disturb, but we have a few
questions when it's convenient.

We're trying to farewell a friend here.
You mean boss.

Either way I reckon it
can wait till morning.

Well, the sooner we clear up a few things,
the sooner you can- We're all doing fine.

We're all tired but
we had to build a camp.

I was just leaving anyway.

You coming or not?
Not.

Suit yourself.

He's sad. Harold had a
lot of time for Johnny.

(SIGHS) I need to lie down.

Magdalena gets really tired from
channeling messages from the other side.

Octopus!
(CAN CRUSHES)

Deep breath, Simon.

Come on Simon,
let's go for a walk, eh?

Good lad. Come on. Come on, mate.

I take it he likes octopi.
They're his favourite animal.

Highly intelligent, unlike him.

So Hine, would I be right in
thinking Daisy Rose is with Johnny?

Totally. In fact they're engaged.

Oh. Nice.

Nah, ifs a joke.

Johnny loves the idea of monogamy. It's just
he can't help sharing that love around.

Right.

Would I be right in thinking
you're with that red-head guy?

(CHUCKLES)

No.

Not your type?
No. And he's spoken for.

And actually I'm happy asking
the questions, if you don't mind.

Sony.
It's OK.

So no one, then?
No.

Actually, um, there is a
guy who is a friend - Kahu.

We play chess.

In the nude?
What?

Why else would you play chess?

Uh, can I ask what
happened to your arm?

I had a couple of beers after packing
out the last town. Fell off a ladder.

Broke a couple of fingers.
Right.

Can you think back on your movements around
the time Harold took the Ghost Train ride?

Can you just give me a sec?

We're trying to locate
Harold's phone.

A witness has him talking on it as he entered
the Ghost Train, but it wasn't on his person.

Oh, you didn't find it
glued to his ear?

Sorry?

He was always on it.
Wheeling and dealing. Right.

Yeah, no, I haven't seen it. I'll ask the
others, unless one of the public took it.

Do you know his login? Maybe we
could locate it with Find My Phone.

Harold wasn't that tech savvy.
Have you tried ringing it?

Know his number?

Yeah, I'll write it down for you.

Sony. (SNIFFLES)

We can do this some other time.

No. Sorry. I was...

You just lost your boss.
It's a difficult time.

How do you know it
wasn't a heart attack?

It was.
Then why all the questions?

Uh, there are some unexplained
things - two marks on his neck.

You didn't see anything?

Uh, I was in my booth - the Rifle Range - so I didn't
see anything. I just heard about it over the RT.

Right.

Well, if you do
remember any details...

(LINE RINGS)
It's ringing.

And it's gone to answerphone.

They're trying to find Harold's
phone. Did you see it?

When? Well apparently it was on him
when he went into the Ghost Train.

Have you asked Johnny?
I'll keep trying.

I gave Simon a pill.
He's already out like a light.

Must be a big pill.

It's prescription medication.
Correct dosage. He suffers anxiety.

Thanks.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Hello...?

I'm resting.

I thought I'd made that quite clear.

Apologies - I didn't
know you were in here.

Well, if you'd asked me, you would.

(SIGHS) You people.

She gets really grumpy.

She says channeling dead people is really
tiring but it's just part of her schtick.

Don't take it personally.

I'll try not to.

Life on the road - wears you down.

I'm sure it does.

Gotta get out before you end up falling
down in a ditch and getting left behind.

Is that what you were planning'?

You get tired of it. That's all.

I imagine you're a close-knit team.
You'd have each other's backs.

Like you wouldn't believe.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

When did you last see Harold?

It was just before he died.

I'm a fairy. Don't wear socks.

No more occulty stuff.

I What're you gonna do? I?

What did he mean - 'occulty stuff'?

I don't always paint butterflies.

Right - the skull and crossbones.

Butterflies are what parents think
kids want, not what they really want.

And that is?
Danger.

Harold used to get really upset.
But I knew how to handle Harold.

By threatening to resign?
Don't wanna end up in a ditch.

Did -Harold seem '
out of sorts in any way?

No grumpier than usual.

Thanks.

His death wasn't an accident, right?

What makes you say that?
Otherwise why all the questions?

I don't believe it was. No.

Then maybe he got what he deserved.

Are you saying
someone wanted him dead?

Not someone.

Everyone.

(TENSE MUSIC)

# I'm a vampire again.

# And I'm coming for you.

# Open up your window

# Cos I'm about to sail in.

# You can call for Mama,

# but she won't know what to do.

# I'm a vampire again.

#Mm.#

Thanks for coming in.

Did I have a choice?

You chose to turn up.

Look, Daisy Rose, your statement last
night -you gave us... I didn't mean it.

Probably had one too many beers.

Oh. What did you mean by
'everyone wanted him dead'?

I was exaggerating. Everyone as
in all of us. He was a hard arse.

Whenever he got grumpy, which was, like, all of the
time, any one of us might say, 'I'd like to kill him.'

That's all I meant.

When you saw Harold, was there
anything unusual in his demeanour?

Was he complaining of feeling
sick, nauseous or faint? No.

He was too busy eating some
disgusting hotdog thing.

As a matter of interest,
where were you going at the time?

Nowhere. I was on a break.
Looking for Johnny.

Did you find him?
No.

Would you say that
Harold was a good boss?

Yeah.

He obviously paid you well.

That's a nice bike.
A Triumph, isn't it?

It was a bonus. For loyalty.
15 years' service to the empire.

So yeah, no, no complaints.

Mm. OK. Yeah, that is a good boss.

Did you hear that?
Noted.

But he was tough?
Nothing I couldn't handle.

Where were you just prior to
Harold entering the Ghost Train?

Why?

A witness has said that Harold
expected you to meet him there.

Who?

Bloody Frodo.

So why didn't you meet him there?

I was finding a fuse.

Bloody great (!)
Attendance is down this year.

Why didn't you use your RT? I could
have brought you down a spare fuse.

Yeah, good luck finding
one in this mess.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Battery's flat.

I thought you'd fixed that loose fuse.
Yeah, I did.

Not that well, obviously.

And don't think buying rne this is gonna
sweet-talk rne, cos it's bloody foul.

I suppose there's
a queue for bloody Africa.

Well, as long as they don't know
it's about a safety issue, we'll-

Oh, Jesus!

Hey. Keep me in the loop.

Hurry up!
Yeah, hurry up!

Then where did you go?

I found the fuse.

And I got back in time
to see that he had carked it.

Oh, Christ...
Get outta my way.

Apparently Harold was using his phone
at the time. Did you come across it?

Nah.

You didn't see it? Mate, he was dead.
He wasn't making any calls.

Sandra, can you come through?

When is my turn?
Soon.

I'm strong.

So you said. I could pick you
up and hold you over my head.

Wanna see?
Wait, no! Whoa!

No need, no need, we're good here.

I believe you.

Sony about that.
Shouldn't be too much longer.

Yes, Harold rubbed people up the wrong way
sometimes, but don't all bosses do that?

In what way?
He hated tardiness,

anything that contravened what he deemed as
family entertainment - sloppy attitudes.

Bad face-painting?
Case in point.

If people killed their bosses every time they had a
go at them, there wouldn't be many left in the world.

I'll remember that.

I was barely out of school when I first
went to an A&P show and saw Harold.

He was operating the Ghost Train - that
was back when his mum ran the business.

Me and Harold fell in love.
Simple stow.

Except recently you split? Amicably. If it
was that bad I wouldn't have hung around.

Harold had a tattoo - um,
Sandra Dee - obviously that was you?

Oh God, that old thing? No, that was
his first love. Before we met.

Another Sandra?

Olivia Newton John - from Grease.

Ah.

Well, he thought her
character was called that.

It's in fact Sandy Olsson, but you know there's
that line - 'Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee.'

I'm more of a country
music fan myself.

Well, you can't change a tattoo so when
I came along, I guess Harold thought,

'Oh, well, it's close enough.'

We can leave it there for now.

Um, you'll be wanting
to talk to Simon?

We will.

He will need me or Marty to be there
with him. He has a mental age of 6.

I can honestly say
I didn't see anything.

I was at my stall giving
a demonstration.

Demonstrating?
'Marty's Miracle Cures'.

Cures for what exactly?

Skin, hair, follicles, fissures.
Itches, burns, warts, worms.

Tremendous healing properties.

Healing properties like the
world has never seen before.

May I have another volunteer?

'That's when Sandra
came and told me.'

Um... Excuse me, please.

I'm going to miss him so.
He was my big brother.

Such a big heart, mind, soul. Hope.
Hope like you've never seen hope.

Hope for what exactly? Hope for the Wilbury
Brothers. To keep the legacy alive.

When our mother finally let go, it
passed to Harold, being the oldest,

and he saw the opportunity
to make it great again.

A natural-born leader.

So there was a legacy that the business
passed to the next oldest? Indeed.

That would be Simon?

Well, no. He's not mentally
fit enough, obviously.

So it goes to you.

Some are born to lead, others have greatness
thrust upon them. That will be my cross to bear.

I told you, I was in my stall, The
Rifle Range, when I got the news...

About time.

No prize, no point
in playing, right'?

Four shots, four hits,
walk away a winner.

RT: Get down to the Ghost Train.
Harold's carked it.

You didn't seem very surprised
to hear the news of Harold?

He was totally old. He was like 50.
Dudes like him have heart attacks.

But leading up to that point, you
weren't actually in your booth?

I was getting pandas.

We're always running out of pandas.

You're joking!
Either that or a pink flamingo.

(MEN LAUGH)

Simon, do you remember where you were
when your brother Harold passed away?

I was being strong. I'm very strong.

So you said.
I punched him once.

Simon... Who? Harold?
Right on the nose!

OK. All right. I don't
need a demonstration.

Hon, you can't do that.

It bleeded all over the place.

Sorry. He gets over-excited.

How many legs does an octopus have?

Simon...

How many? How many? How many?

Um, eight. So-

Wrong! (LAUGHS) He got it wrong!

I think you'll find it's eight...

None! They don't have legs; they
have arms! You're so dumb! (CACKLES)

Simon.

Simon.

Why did you punch Harold?

Because he's my brother.
That's what brothers do.

(SOLEMN MUSIC)

OK, so at the time Harold entered the Ghost
Train, Marty was selling his wares to the crowd,

Simon was wowing
people with his act...

He's strong, by the way,
in case you hadn't been told.

...Sandra and Johnny were in the
office sourcing a new fuse.

Hine was in her booth, though she had been
sourcing more prizes from a storage locker here.

Daisy Rose had just
finished talking to Harold,

and the enigmatic Magdalena...
(CELL PHONE RINGS)

...has agreed to finish
her statement, but only in her tent.

Gina.

Toxicology has ruled out any unusual toxins
except very high levels of potassium chloride.

Do you still believe it's
a marker for something introduced?

Are you asking my opinion?

Yes.

I think his death was
far from routine.

OK. Thanks.

Now I need your opinion.

OK.

What is your most favourite song?

Uh...

Please Help Me, I'm falling
in Love With You.

I will remember that, Mike.

What? No, no, that-
that's the title.

Gi-

Do you need a moment or...?

No, toxicology reports only
high levels of potassium Chloride.

So we are on the right track?
Seems so.

Any luck with the victim's phone?

Specialist Search Group came up empty on
the Ghost Train and surrounding area.

Likewise for any
intravenous equipment.

I've been calling on the hour.

Also no hospitals in centres the Wilburys
have passed through in the last 12 months

report any missing ampules of KCI.
(LINE RINGS)

It's ringing. I wish my phone
had that sort of battery life.

(BEEP!)
And answerphone.

And we still have nothing to
explain the marks on Wilbury's neck.

It'll come.

Or are we just
drawing too long a bow?

No. Because all we have to do
is find our source for the KCI,

the vessel in which it was administered;
whoever is recharging Harold's phone,

their motive and opportunity,
then we'll have our offender.

So, basically everything.
Yep.

If only it was as
simple as vampires.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Nothing.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Potassium chloride.
Prescription only. but low dose.

Nothing that would do you any harm?

No. You'd have to swallow an awful lot of it, and
you'd throw it up before it caused any real grief.

Anything high dose is
held at the hospital.

OK. Thanks.

Is this related to the Wilbury death?
I'd rather not say.

Well, there is something
you might want to consider.

I Martin Wilbury was a pharmacist. I.

Marty?

I saw him at the A&P show.

Cures ringworm, warts,
wrinkles, rashes and in...

Sony, what's your name again?

Nicky.

Nicky. And in Nicky's case,
the scourge of acne.

As you can see ifs only
been on for, what, two minutes?

Take a cleaning wipe and simply...

There you go! How's that?

Would you like to see?

You found it a dubious claim?

If it was truly that effective I wouldn't
be able to re-stock my shelves fast enough

and Marty Wilbury would be a multi-millionaire,
not hawking his wares in the nearest park.

Smoke and mirrors?

Let's just say Marty was
always working the angles.

You said he was a pharmacist?

Martin was struck off
for malpractice.

For what exactly?
Misappropriation of medications.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Q

It's the real thing. Tea leaves from
Tibet steeped in blue quartz water.

It has properties that open the chakras,
cleanses the mind, creating a channel of truth.

OK. Well, tastes good anyhow.

You're a skeptic.

No... I keep an open mind.
Then we both have that in common.

Now, you weren't actually in
this tent when Mr Wilbury died.

You seem sure of that. By chance, I
happened to be at your tent at the time.

Why?
I was hoping for a Tarot reading.

So you're not a skeptic.
It was just for a bit of fun.

And I spoke with a previous client outside
who'd said you'd left rather abruptly.

Yes, I needed some air.

(TENSE MUSIC)

This work can be quite overwhelming,
even if it is just 'for a bit of fun'.

The fact that I wasn't in the tent at the time
of Harold's death is merely a coincidence.

So where were you, then?

I went to the office.

To...?
Look for Harold.

But he wasn't there.
No.

Did you go anywhere near the Ghost Train?
Absolutely not.

You sound very definite.
I deal with real ghosts.

Spirits, in my experience,
should not be trifled with.

So where were you when you
heard the news about Harold?

In the office.
It came over the squawker.

The squawker being...

the RT? Yes. Only then did
I go to the Ghost Train

to see if I could be
of some assistance.

Alas, I was not.

Well, um, thank you for the tea.

Oh...

What?

Sorry, is there...?

I see a man - a dark,
handsome man moving across

black and white squares.

Something like he's waiting
to move... or for a move?

I'm sorry, that doesn't
make any sense to me.

My apologies.
Harold's death has shaken me.

Sure, well, thanks again.

Thank you. Nicky, was it?

Nicky.

Another satisfied customer, folks.

Feel free to come and peruse these healing
properties like the world has never seen before.

Cash, EFTPOS, credit cards.

Detective. Are you curious about
Marty's Miracle Hairline Restorer?

Should I be?

There's nothing
like future-proofing.

When you have a moment.

Another good day at the office.

On a day like today, I'm sure it beats
being stuck in a pharmacy. Indeed.

Counting pills or being outside
traveling this beautiful country.

Meeting new people and helping them improve their
skin like they've... ...never been helped before?

Quite. It was a no-brainer.

You were also struck off.

A regrettable misunderstanding.

I could've fought it in court,
but I wanted out anyway.

What exactly did you do?

Our mother suffered from a long, debilitating
illness with so much unnecessary pain,

pain like the world has never seen.

I simply took a little of this and a little of that
and helped to relieve the suffering over the years.

When it's on hand, it's hard to
resist. All chemists do it.

You know that for a fact?
It's more of a suspicion.

Wouldn't you? For a loved one?

I merely did the wrong thing for the
right reasons and paid the price.

If you'll excuse me.

The volunteer you
just cured - Nicky?

Yes?

Wasn't she the woman you
encountered at the A&P show'?

Yes, I believe she was.

So your miracle cure
is only temporary?

On the contrary.

She was so pleased with
the results, she came back.

I treated the other side of her face. Far
from being temporary, it is more... complete.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Sims.

Oh, hello.

Can I help?

I read about the Wilbury death. There's
something you perhaps should know.

When I entered the tent, Madame
Magdalena was acting weirdly.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

Well, what do want to know?

Have you lost something?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Only my mind.
(CHUCKLES)

It was all downhill
from there, really.

Not quite the Zen-like
spirit guide I was hoping for.

Then she freaked out and left.

Can you remember when that was?

Only a few minutes
before you arrived.

Then things went crazy and
the boss lady came running over.

I hoped it was to offer a refund.

She's not there.

Oh... I'd like to know when she'll
be back or if I could get a refund.

Sorry. There's been an incident.
I'll have to get back to you.

She never did. But I thought
you, being police, could help?

I'll see what I can do.

Can you remember what exactly
freaked Madame Magdalena out?

Absolutely.
She saw The Devil on a Chariot.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Boss.

Do you mean her?

Yeah, that's her.

Nicky Stone - daughter of the deceased. From the
Golf Club case. With remarkably blemish-free skin.

Track her down, will you?

OK. I have a statement from a witness which
puts Magdalena right back in the frame.

What's she done?
Made a prophecy.

She was talking about
my husband, Harry.

There is a man -

Harry.

a husband...

Um, I don't have a husband...

I've never been married.
Let alone to anyone called Harry.

Then she got really intense.

Are you calling me a liar?
No, but I just thought...

Did I say he was your husband?
Well, you are reading my cards.

Shh!

Harry, Harry, Harry...

That bastard!

You must go.
But...?

No, I must leave. You must leave.

Go now! It's a matter
of life or death.

Magdalena predicted Harold's death?

Maybe. If you believe in that stuff.

Which you don't.

Well, I...

You do?

Aren't we paid to keep an open mind?

Magdalena said she went to the office
just before Harold was killed.

But the Ghost Train is en route.

So rather than predict his death,
the other possibility is...

She played some part in it.

Q

According to a witness, when you left
your tent just prior to Harold's death,

you were agitated and talking about a
'Harry'. That can't be just a coincidence.

I did have a vision.
I went to warn Harold.

Where exactly did you go?

I told you. I went to the
office, but he wasn't there.

By the time I got to the
Ghost Train, it was too late.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Get out the way. I'm strong!
Christ. Get out of my way!

Harold!

You didn't try to help?
There was nothing I could do.

Psychically I was spent.
I needed a lie-down.

Did you see Johnny in the office?

You said you went to the office. Apparently
Johnny was in the office at the same time.

Was he?
He was looking for a fuse.

I Oh, he must've found it, then. I.

If you had a vision that Harold was in danger in
the Ghost Train, why didn't you go directly there?

Tell me something.

When I read your tea leaves - the black and
white squares - did that mean anything to you?

No.

No, it didn't.

Well, there you go, then.

My gift is not an exact science.

Maybe it's just a bit
of fun after all.

Hi.
Kimberly, hi.

I have this as the last known
address of Nicky Stone?

Yeah. She's my flatmate. Why?

I need to have a chat with her.

She's at work.

Right. So is this Frodo's house?

No. I just let him park
his van here sometimes.

Like the times when it's not working,
which is like most of the times.

You were working in the van
at the A&P show, right? Yeah.

Do you remember selling a Frododog to
this guy before all the commotion?

Nup.

You're sure about that?

To be honest, it was pretty quiet.
Frodo dogs are kinda' chewy.

I did sell one to his cousin.
Not that he paid.

Johnny Oades?
Yeah.

Real creepy, trying to hit on me,
and I was like, 'ew'.

So where does Nicky work?

You have been on at rne for three days.
I am getting really sick of this.

Then why don't you
just go and do it?!

No, because I don't
know these people.

You are being a cruel
and vindictive person!

Just back off, Magda. Geez! This is what
he would've wanted. Give me a break!

Do it, or I will
tell her everything.

Hi.

Everything OK here?
Yeah, fine.

This is some bonus. Triumph.
That's what it says.

Daisy!

Did you find the fuse?
What?

When Harold was leaving his portacom
office, you were looking for a fuse.

Yeah. I found one.

So you must've raced straight back to the
Ghost Train to get the thing up and running.

Yeah.

You didn't go anywhere else in-between finding
the fuse and getting back to the Ghost Train?

What is this?

Daisy!
It's a simple question.

When I got back, Harold was dead.
What more can I tell you?

All right, keep your mankey hair on.

Places to be.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

# In my dreams... #

I wanna make this place more like the Frog

You see the thing about Karaoke is
it's very aspirational.

Testing. Testing.

That sound all right'?
Mm.

It allows people to transport themselves into
stardom. Well, for three minutes, at least.

Ray, I was asking about Nicky Stone?

Ah, yeah, Yeah,
she's in the garden bar.

I've had to hire a few new faces now
that Trudy's a guest of Her Majesty.

Thanks, Ray.

Tomorrow night -
make sure you guys come along.

'My Sharona' is always a good one.
Or 'Don't Cry for me Argentina'.

Mike will be a starter for sure.

Nicky Stone?

(MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY
THROUGH EARPHONES)

Nicky?

Detectives Mike Shepherd
and Sam Breen.

Yeah, I remember.

Life treating you well?
What do you think?

We have a few questions about your
relationship with Marty Wilbury.

I don't have a relationship.

You've volunteered for him at least twice,
probably more. Would that be right?

Perhaps as an audience plant?

Look, I don't want
any trouble. I was...

(LOUD CRASH)
MAN: I can't believe you did that!

Aw, you're unbelievable, man!

Take it easy, cuz...

How dare you hit on my girlfriend!

Frodo, I am not your girlfriend.

A cousin doesn't mow
another cousin's lawn!

And I'm sure as hell not your lawn!

Ifs a metaphor.

I said cool it!

It wasn't like that.

It was!
It was?

No way.
Totally.

Uncool, bro. So uncool!

I was not flirting...
You said you'd changed.

And I have... I knew it. I knew you
were up to your dirty old tricks...

- (THUD!)
- (PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

Geez! Now look what you've done!

Oh my God, Frodo!

I didn't do it; you made me do it!

What the hell's going on here?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Q

I think it's safe to say no
charges need to be laid.

True, nobody was smashing
bottles or anything.

Only his face.

Yeah, sorry about that.

It's OK. Happens all the time.

You two know each other?

Eh? Nah, I don't...

No.
Nah.

Oh, except the A&P show.
You run the Ghost Train, right?

Yeah, that's me.

Daisy Rose, we should shoot.

Come on. Come to Johnny.

How many times?

I love you. You know that, right?

He pays me.

Marty? Yeah, I smear this
mixture of stuff on my face.

He puts the cream on,
it comes straight off.

It's kinda naff, but it works.

I thought you didn't
want any trouble.

Well, he does it in every town.
Marty says it was OK.

That's highly debatable.

Things have been kinda tough since mum died.
An extra 50 bucks makes a difference.

And you don't know Johnny Oades?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

All we really know is Harold
went inside the Ghost Train.

Sixty seconds later
he came out dead.

Given the ferocity of potassium chloride,
it had to have been administered inside,

otherwise, given the length of his conversation with
Frodo, he would have been dead before entering.

And apart from that we still
lack any clear motive.

OK, Johnny and Sandra
are in the office.

Marty was at his stall.
Simon is at his side stage.

Hine was in the Rifle Range and Magdalena
was moving between her tent and the office.

Daisy Rose was seen
talking to Harold here.

So if they're all to be believed, none of
them could've been inside the Ghost Train.

Or someone wasn't where
they said they were.

OK. (CLEARS THROAT)

What if...

What if we could
see inside the Ghost Train'?

They don't have CCTV.
No.

As a confirmed skeptic, I can't
believe I'm saying this but

what if Magdalena had the ability
to channel what happened to Harold'?

Are you suggesting a seance?

She read my tea leaves and knew
things she couldn't have known.

You've been scammed.
How?

I don't know but I'm pretty sure tea
leaves only serve one true purpose.

All right, well, maybe I have. But if... if
Magdalena did actually have some ability to see

what actually happened, wouldn't we be
remiss not to at least try the avenue?

I mean, what have we dot to lose?

Nothing but our credibility.

This conversation never happened.

(JAUNTY MUSIC)

Thank you for agreeing to do this.

I know when I'm being ridiculed.

I assure you ifs not that.

That's sorted.

Oh, um.

Can we talk?

You know, alone?

I need some advice about Daisy Rose.

It's personal.

I'll step outside.

Sweet. Magdalena will
be with you shortly.

So, you like bikes?

Uh, not really.

The Trumpet is awesome.

I'm sure it is.

Six speed. Grunt, torque,
76 brake horsepower.

And room for two.

Already noted.

If you ever want to, like, you
know, check it out, let me know.

I We can begin. I

(SNIFFS LOUDLY)

Yes, there you are.

What- What do you see?

(SNIFFS) I can see him.
I can see him coming.

(WHIMPERS SOFTLY)

(PANTS)

He's scared.

(GASPS, WHIMPERS)

He can sense somethings coming...

(SCREAMS)

Fang! (PANTS LIGHTLY)

Please, I can't do anymore.

Fang?
It's what I saw.

But there was no trace
of venom in his system.

Perhaps you're being too literal. Perhaps
it was Harold who was the snake.

Meaning?

I'm spent.

No, but...

No more!

Leave.

OK, I'm prepared to admit it
might have been a waste of time.

And in her 'vision' she didn't mention
anything about Harold being on the phone?

No. Which proves she's a sham. We
know for a fact he was on the phone.

Or she deliberately
omitted that detail.

Yet she knew about the marks on his neck.
I mean, that's a bit impressive.

Sham.

Regarding the phone...

Wilbury's cell provider has it still located
within the Brokenwood business district,

but I'm short of doing a door
to door search... (LINE RINGS)

(LINE ENGAGES)

MAN: Harold?

Uh, what? No, this is not Harold.
This is Harold's phone?

No.
Yes.

Is that...

Simon?

Um...

Hey, Simon, where are you right now?

(VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY)

Hi, Simon.

Hello.

Is that Harold's phone?

No.

Are you sure about that?

Mine now.

He used to let me play games on it
because I was never allowed one.

He doesn't need it anymore
because he's dead.

What- What game are you playing?

Shark Attack. (CHUCKLES) You
really like sea creatures, huh?

How many legs does a Squid have?

OK, um, I got this. Ten arms.

Wrong. Eight arms and two specialised
tentacles for catching and holding its prey.

Wow, you got me again.

That's OK. You're quite stupid.

Not your fault.

How did you end up
with Harold's phone?

It fell out of his pocket
and I picked it up.

Put him down here. There you go.

I'm strong!

I'm a doctor. Give me some air here.

Thank you.

What's his name?
Harold.

Harold'?

Harold'?

Harold?!

...three, four, five, six.

You know, I'd really like to quickly
check something on his phone.

N-N-N-N- You want
to steal it, I know.

No, no, no, no.
I just want to borrow it.

Finders keepers, losers weepers.

I'm really, really strong.

Yeah.

Hey, Simon,

have you ever been for a
ride in a real life police car?

(SIREN WAILS)

I'm Simon! I'm strong!

Strongest man in the universe!

Yeah! (LAUGHS) Go faster! Go faster!

All right, we're going pretty fast.

The last call Harold received was
from Sandra. It lasted 11 seconds.

Then 32 seconds later
he dialed emergency services.

Meanwhile you're holding
a mentally disabled person.

No. No, no, it's OK because I've
called Sandra in as his support person

and so we can ask
her about the call.

Two birds with one stone.

See, always thinking.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Hey, whoa. All right, Simon.
Wow, look at you.

Why don't you put the
table down, eh?

Simon, we need you to put
the table down. Please.

I punched him on the nose!

Yep. Harold'?

Lots of blood.

Yeah, so you said.

'Cos he touched Hine again, and Hine's
not his wife. And that's not right!

No, that's not right.

Magdalena said so...

If you ever touch my daughter again,
I swear I will tear you to pieces!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Q

Go and wait in the truck.

He shouldn't have been put through
that ordeal. No wonder he's got upset

We were prepared to wait.
He volunteered the information.

It appears the call Harold received just as
he entered the Ghost Train was from you,

or at least your phone.

Oh.

Right. Yeah, it probably was me.

It was about"?
Pandas.

Hine was after another box of pandas. She
was short again. I couldn't find them.

Did Harold seem distressed at all?
No. Well, no more than usual.

He was wound up cause of the delay
on the Ghost Train and he hung up.

And a witness has you arriving at Magdalena's tent
just moments after Harold's body was discovered.

She's not there.
Oh...

I'd like to know when she'll be
back or if I could get a refund.

Sorry. There's been an incident.

I'll have to get back to you.

Was that after you sorted
the pandas for Hine? Yep.

You came to tell Magdalena
about Harold? Yes.

Why didn't you use the RT?

Magdalena doesn't use them. She believes that
the radio waves interfere with her 'gift'.

Thanks again.

(POP! CLANG!)

(POP!)

You made it worse.

It's called maintenance.
Can't make it too easy.

You want a go?
Not right now.

Hine, we have a witness who suggests that Harold
Wilbury might have behaved inappropriately with you.

Who the hell said that?

His brother Simon.

Simple Simon? What would he know?

He seemed pretty sure about it. And
sure that your mother knew about it.

He's gone. What does it matter?

It matters because if you were
abused, you should be supported.

These things are best talked
through with professionals.

Look, Harold was a creep, but I learned to live
with it. You shouldn't have to live with it.

I'm not going to be one of them.

One of who?
Those broken girls.

The women that talk about it
and then get told they're liars.

Things have changed. I promise.

I didn't kill him.

I'm not saying that you did.

Well, you're not saying I didn't.

Can you talk to me about this?

SLOWLY: Yes, I did say that.

That you 'would tear him to pieces'.
In the heat of the moment. Yes.

Do you know if he did?

If Harold did abuse Hine again'?

No.

I think he got the message.

But you knew about
what had been going on.

Yes.

And you didn't tell anyone?

Who?

Marty?

Sandra perhaps.

Martin Wilbury has cloth ears.
He revered his brother.

'See no evil, hear no evil.' As for
Sandra she spoke to Harold several times.

They fought about it. But as an ex-wife
what can you do? Come to the police.

And have my daughter made
out to be a victim?

Have lawyers make a fool out of her
in court? I dealt to it directly.

By threatening to kill him.

It seemed to work.

Why didn't you leave
the Wilbury Brothers?

Because this is all we have.

That train wreck is my family. We work together,
we fight together, we laugh and we play together.

It's like a strange kind of marriage.
But you wouldn't understand.

Where exactly were
you when Harold died?

I told Detective Sims
that I went to warn Harold.

I was in the office!

I understood Johnny was in
the office, yet you say he wasn't.

How is that important?

If one of you wasn't there, then maybe one of you
was somewhere else - the Ghost Train, perhaps.

He wasn't.
So where was he, then?

You want to rethink where you were
when Harold rode the Ghost Train'?

Like I said -

found the fuse,

went back.

He comes out dead.

What's the connection between
you and Johnny Oades?

OK, when you saw him at the A&P
show, where exactly did you see him?

So you found the fuse and you
went straight to the Ghost Train.

I reckon so, yeah.
Reckon so or know so?

Look, what is this?

Well, if you did that, you would have
got to the Ghost Train before Harold.

Except I didn't, cos when
I got there he was dead.

I already said that!

Harold stopped off along
the way to talk to someone.

Enough time maybe for you to hide
yourself away inside the Ghost Train.

Whoa. Nah, no way.

Then where were you?

By the portaloos.

Long time no see, Sweet Pea.

It's nothing serious. We just hooked
up last year when they came through.

How did you know Johnny
would be at the portaloos?

I I hope Johnny doesn't see you here. I.

He never stopped talking
about you after last year.

Really?

He's still with
that fairy, you know.

Thanks. That's all for now.

What, I'm free to go?
Mm.

(TENSE MUSIC)

OK, Johnny, time to come clean.

Dude, I am clean.

Nicky Stone sees it differently.

I told you, I barely know the chick.
She says otherwise.

Well, maybe she's lying. We have a
witness that corroborates her story.

Johnny was by the portaloo
with that local slapper.

And who is that?

It was the one Marty
was using as a plant.

Look, it was just a little kiss.

No harm done. It's not
worth mentioning, right?

How did you know she'd be
waiting by the portaloos?

Found the sucker!
Oh, that little minx.

I told her to stay away.

Eh?

Aw. How about that?

Uh, Johnny...
(CHUCKLES)

RT: Hine to base.
I need more pandas.

I did hook up with this girl the
other day... Oh, you bastard!

It was just a little kiss. Like really
small. Making me an idiot again!

I knew you couldn't change. She was a friend,
that's all... Forget it, Johnny. We are so over!

Ow!

Angry fairies.
The old wand to the neck.

Vicious.

Take it easy, would ya?
I'm bleeding here.

Jesus!

Daisy Rose, can we talk?

He deserved it!
Yeah, I'm sure he did.

This way.

Sims.

Yeah, could we have a word first?

The abuse has been
going on for years.

He was always gropey and stuff,

but then -

VOICE TREMBLES:
one morning I woke up...

Holy...!

How'd you get in here?!
Uh...

Get out!
I must've come in the wrong door.

Jesus! Get out, you sick bastard!

YELLS: All right, I'll go!
All right, child, calm down.

When was this?
(SNIFFLES) Just before his mum died.

It wasn't just me.
He was an octopus to all the girls.

The octopus.

OK.

Let's take this easy, then.

When Harold stopped you and told you
to stop with the 'occulty stuff',

did you hit him in the same
way you just hit Johnny?

So what if I did?
It would clear something up for us.

He was being a pig.

I'm warning you - do
as you're told, girlie.

So you're going to fire rne? Me and Johnny
are leaving after the show. We're done!

Johnny won't leave.
Yes, he will.

But that bike's still in my name. And when
he knows all about our 'special times'...

(WHACK!)
Argh! Jeez!

You'll keep.

What a pig.

The 'special times' Harold mentioned?
You were the victim of abuse.

Do I look like a victim?

Can you tell us when it started?

Anything you say is
in complete confidence.

I rode the Ghost Train
when I was sixteen.

I got the hots for Johnny, and the idea of
working and touring sounded really cool.

But when I approached
Harold for a job...

Would you like to talk
to Detective Sims alone?

No... No, I'm OK.

He agreed, but only
if I let him touch me.

It seemed like a stupid thing at the time,
and I was like, 'Whatever, you creep,'

and I really wanted the job.

But he kept on, and promising to
tell Johnny that I'd come on to him.

I never did that.

He did it.

Did you talk to anyone about this?

Sandra. She kept telling me it wouldn't
happen again, but I'd had enough.

And Johnny did promise
to leave with me.

(SIGHS) Fat chance now, though.

With what happened to both you and Hine and
with Sandra and Magdalena knowing about it,

why do you think it didn't stop?

Magdalena threatened
him all the time.

But Magdalena needed Harold.

In what way?

How did she need Harold?

Hello?

Magdalena?

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Q

How long have you been using?

I Using what? I

I know the rules.

Unless you've got a warrant,
you've got nothing.

That is true. Then I suggest we
both agree this never happened.

Where do you get it from?
'It'?

There's nothing there
but a needle and syringe.

Nothing illegal in that.
Perhaps I'm a diabetic.

Johnny?

If you don't do it,
I will tell her everything.

'Her' being Daisy Rose, I presume,
about his fling with Nicky Stone.

This conversation is finished.

Why did you think Harold
had been bitten by a snake?

These things come to me.

BY Way of Hine?

How do you know it
wasn't a heart-attack?

There are some unexplained things -
two marks on his neck.

She told you about the
marks on his neck, didn't she?

And Kahu. That's how you knew to mention 'dark
and handsome' and 'the black and white squares'.

Let's just say that I'm
right about some things.

It might be wise
for you to take heed.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

Oh, Detective Shepherd! I trust you'll
be making an appearance tonight?

For...? Karaoke! There are
some jolly good tunes.

(CHUCKLES) We'll see.

Tell me, you said you were at nursing
school with Olwyn Wilbury. Yes.

But between you and me, she was
a terrible nurse. A bit rough.

In what way?

Well, when it came to taking bloods,
she'd wrench out the IV lines,

telling the patient
not to be a sook.

Raised her boys in the same way.

As a matter of interest, is much
skill required to hit a vein?

Well, off the record, it does take
skill, but sometimes just dumb luck.

Why? You're not developing
a habit, are you?

Not high on my priority list.

(CHUCKLES) I'm so glad. Too many
good people lost chasing the dragon.

When was the last
time you saw Olwyn?

Oh, we kept in touch through
Facebook and Snapchat.

That's how I knew
to pay my respects.

I took a road trip
to Tahuna Point...

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Knock-knock! It's only me.

Aw, aren't you looking bonny!

Bouncing back, I see.

Given the circumstances, a
little white lie goes a long way.

You said it was kidney
failure that took her?

Oh, hypokalaemia got her in the end.
They just couldn't get it up.

'It' being?

Oh, potassium levels.
Chronically low.

Ooh. Light My Fire. (CHUCKLES)

I'll get Ray to put me
down for that one.

Thanks. Enjoy your ale.

What are you looking at?

Thank you. Enjoy.

Marty, do you recall what medications your
mother was on as part of her palliative care?

Uh, morphine, saline - her sodium
levels were critically low - and...

I feel sad. Can I have some
medicine to make me feel better?

You don't want that stuff.
KCI - too much will kill you...

Potassium Chloride?

Mm. But we were fighting a losing battle. We just
did what we could do to keep her comfortable.

You didn't want to use a hospital?

My mother was a stubborn type.
She didn't like hospitals.

She believed they were an opportunity
for people to knock you off.

So in the room there was just
you and this nurse called...?

Uh, don't know.
Uh, ex-nurse. Friend of a friend.

Simon, Harold and Sandra?

And Magdalena.

How long has she got?
What's your prediction?

For God's sake, Harold. This is real
life, not some sideshow stunt...

Thanks for your time.

How long have you been
supplying Magdalena?

Dunno what you're talking about.

I think you do.

Can we talk'? You know, alone.

You turn up. She goes from agitated to
nodding off. It's not rocket science.

I found her works in her tent.

And I'm sure your fingerprints
will be nicely recorded on this.

It wasn't me.

Harold was the one
who kept her high.

She was the star attraction.
He made her dependent on him.

But you were the delivery boy?

Is that why Harold gave you the
bike? Reward for doing his bidding.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(BEEP!)

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

(HIGH-PITCHED CHUCKLES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

We know Harold controlled his victims by
wielding power over their loved ones.

Both Hine and Daisy Rose were victims
of ongoing harassment and assault.

They'd both reached
the end of their tether.

Meanwhile, Johnny planned
to leave with Daisy Rose.

Was it a case of exact
revenge and escape town'?

We have a fortune teller who's
also an intravenous drug user.

She certainly had the
expertise in finding a vein.

A discredited pharmacist with a clear
knowledge of the lethal chemical compound

and a clear opportunity
to access KCI.

And Sandra - an ex-wife who insists on defending her
ex-husband, even in light of his recidivist behaviour.

And Simon?
Well, we know he's strong.

OK. I think we've got this.

Uh, we have a motive and probable cause, but we
still don't have a witness or any actual evidence.

I'll settle for a confession.

He's got that...
...hunch thing happening, yeah.

We've established that the person who killed
Harold Wilbury is amongst this group.

I find that hard to believe.

Your brother was killed by an overdose of potassium
chloride, or KCI, administered intravenously.

(SCOFFS) Oh, come on!
I don't even know what that is.

Medicine!
This is ridiculous.

You better have evidence before
you start casting these aspersions.

Magdalena, you conveniently left your
tent in the minutes before Harold died.

You had time to enter the Ghost
Train through the access hatch.

As a drug user you also had the equipment
necessary to administer the lethal dose.

I went to the office to warn Harold.

Yes and no.

You were there, but not to warn him; rather
to berate him for taking your 'kit'.

You thought he was punishing you for
your threats; withholding your fix.

That much I admit. Which means
you didn't have the syringe.

I can understand your desire to revenge
the terrible things that Harold did.

You know about your mother's habit,
where she hides her 'kit'.

And moments prior to Harold being found
dead, you were not at your station.

No way. I was getting pandas.

No. If she was provoked,
then I'm responsible.

I've been a terrible mum.

I did it.

But you didn't.

One thing that is true - Hine left to get
more pandas, as verified by a witness.

I won it at the A&P show.

Magdalena, you were in the office.

We know this because it's the only
vantage point where you could see...

It was nothing more than a kiss.

Marty was selling his snake oil.

Excuse me?

Simon was flipping a car. Neither had time
to cross the crowds and climb into position.

The only person who had the actual opportunity
to secret themselves in the Ghost Train was...

Yeah, what do you want?

The call to Harold was to place
the offender somewhere else,

otherwise why call if
you were close by?

And only someone with an intimate
knowledge of Harold's tattoo

would know where to
aim that needle on the move.

(HIGH-PITCHED CACKLING)

Argh!

Hey, hey!

(YELLS)

YELLS: Harold to base...

But it was of course flat.

(GASPS, BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

WOMAN: Hello? Are you there?
What service do you require?

He tried.

(GASPS, WHEEZES)

Ghost.

'Bride' is what he wanted to say.

After all, you were once his bride and one of
the few people who had access to ampules of KCI

while keeping vigil
over your mother-in-law.

Here, why don't you take it outside?
Give your mum some quiet.

But it's your movements afterward
that are the most telling -

returning to Magda's tent...

She's not there.
Oh.

...wasn't to tell her of Harold's
demise but to return her 'kit',

knowing that if by some remote possibility
Harold's death was looked into,

focus would turn to Magdalena.

Sorry. There's been an incident.
I'll have to get back to you.

Otherwise why would you enter the
tent if you knew she wasn't there?

Taking the fuse from the Ghost Train meant
that Johnny would come looking for Harold.

Especially since you set
him up with a dodgy RT...

Battery's flat.

...which you then switched and
made sure Harold left with it...

Hey-

Keep me in the loop.

Hurry up!
Yes, hurry UP!

...so that when he went to the Ghost Train he
would have no quick access to communication.

Having set the honey trap
in the form of Nicky Stone,

you knew that Johnny would
be delayed in getting back

and that Harold's impatience would send him
through to you, where you would be lying in wait.

No more, Harold.

I just could not take it anymore.

I had warned him over and over.

Sometimes you feel like
you haven't done enough.

And then you think of a way.

And I just wanted him gone.

A heart attack on a busy day. No one would
ask questions. No one would think twice.

Except when an angry
fairy struck back.

Argh! Jeez!

You'll keep.

Sandra Wilbury, I'm arresting you for the murder
of Harold Wilbury. You have the right to...

Take away your hands off her!
Hey, hey, hey, easy, Simon.

I'm strong. I say no!

She's nice.

Simon...

Want a punch?

No, no. Not this time, Simon.

It's OK. It's OK.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Well, at least Harold
won't be doing it again.

You knew about Harold's behaviour.

He was my brother. My big brother.

Yeah. And what'd you do about it'?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

You're not parking?

Ah, I'm going to skip it.
I'm psychically spent.

(SEAT BELT CLICKS)

You did a great job.

Thanks. I still feel
like I need a shower.

Take it easy, Sims.

What do you want?

Single malt. Splash of water.

Hey, Kristin not with you?

She headed home. Call her.

Sweet.

Kahu!
Hey, Chontelle!

OK. Good times.

Well, first up tonight we have Dr Gina Kadinsky
with Please Help Me, I'm Falling in Love With You.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

I'd like to dedicate
this to Mike Shepherd -

a man who is far from routine. (HANK LOCKLIN'S
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU' PLAYS)

(AUDIENCE REACTS)
Could you make that a double?

# Please help me, I'm fallin'

# in love with you.

# Close the door to temptation,

# don't let me walk through... #
