He's dead because someone

Did your brother ever mention

Who?

Another bloody conspiracy theory?

A whole new obsession

Maja, I'm concerned for you.

Maybe you should ask Luke

I've been asking you.

Doug Snapes was a loose end.

He's French.

Really? Wow.

What else?

Was.

This was his first in Queenstown,

His right-hand man,

and then there's a couple

Kylie and Robbie Shorrock.

Wasn't there something with Lumiere

or one of his crew recently,

It was a uniform matter.

I'll check with Hoana.

Mm.

When does

Sergeant Gracewell.

I spoke to Wellington,

They weren't too sure

They're usually dealing

They'll know more than we do.

Yeah. Sharon's trying

'Fingers'?

He's another pyrotechnician.

He's had the contract

But not the Arts Festival.

Wonder why.

Here, check out the promo.

Uh, Ken and I,

Right. So, what did happen to Kylie?

Yes, three of them.

And they just came out of nowhere.

And this was at what time?

Um...

Oh, uh, just after 11,

We went out for a few drinks.

I come out, go to get the truck...

Oh, and I was waiting

which was dumb, I suppose,

'cause it was dark there,

but I wasn't going to let that go.

No way.

Mm. Pocket rocket, this one.

I don't back down, no.

So, I had a bit of a go at them.

Look, I want these buggers caught.

Hey.

Robbie made me come down here.

Well, of course I did.

I mean, look at her.

No, it's good that you came in.

We'll need to take photos

Is that alright?

Yeah.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Good clear shots.

Nga mihi, Detective.

She gave great descriptions

but we haven't been able

Do the Shorrocks know

Yeah. And the other guy

Do we know where he is?

Same place

(SOFT MUSIC)

Food poisoning.

They decided to keep him in

to rehydrate him.

He'll probably be allowed out

They have been unbelievably unlucky,

Yeah, unbelievably.

Hey, uh, so, Shelby,

Um... Oh, you know,

He's sweet.

Thanks. Um...

Anyway, it's just in here,

Oh, depends on the patient.

I mean, if they're not flagged red

it's usually a 12-hour interval

and then again in the morning.

OK, great. Thanks, Shelby.

No worries.

Fuck's sake.

(SIGHS)

Mr Matheson?

I hope you're feeling better.

Detectives Delaney and Mallory,

We need to ask you

Don't ask me any questions, mate.

He killed my mate, and he tried

And now he's telling me

Hey!

Sorry.

(ENGINE REVS)

Hey! Mr Hannelly! Frank Hannelly!

Stop! Oh... Son of a bitch.

(PANTS)

He poisoned me.

I was in the pub, having a meal,

and he came in

And, you know, you can't stop me

But anyway, I went for a leak,

Food poisoning.

(PANTS) He's gone.

He's gone. He's gone.

Why would he want to poison you?

I found out he usually

And we're talking

So... Lose the competition.

And now my best friend is gone.

Why would Mr Lumiere

Who knows? It'd be too dark to work.

We'd already set up and sealed

He wouldn't set up another one

JP wouldn't do that. No way.

JP?

Jean Pierre.

Can I see him?

I don't think that's a good idea.

All pretty much gone. Charred.

Part of the right arm is missing,

Also known as elbow.

You know, there would be a lot more

Right. So, you think

I mean, we've had it before,

You remember all their names?

Oh, every one.

So, um, definitely

Yes. Yes.

Um, concealment

Given the range

I'm sure that he was standing facing

So, could still be an accident.

But, you know,

he was a stickler for safety, so...

Yeah.

Yeah. Obviously.

Well, um, we have interviews

so we'd better get back.

Great. OK.

We will have a full written report

by, uh, tomorrow morning, Anjali?

Great.

Maybe see you soon?

Yeah. Yeah, great.

So, start talking to me, then.

I'll talk to you, OK?

We've got no idea what happened.

We were in bed at the hotel

(CHUCKLES WRYLY)

We missed it.

And, um, when was the last time

What, me? Uh, yesterday afternoon.

On the barge.

Full cakes. (CHUCKLES) Magic!

Well, I was stuck here, working.

Didn't even speak to JP yesterday.

Well, you're the cop.

That's your job.

Now, if it's OK with you,

They're electronically fired

Potentially.

Yeah. A receiver of some sort.

It's a shambles out there.

That's all.

Did you see him putting anything

No.

Did he mention anything about

A couple of things.

About it not being fair.

But that's just

So, too many possibilities.

(SCOFFS) I didn't poison Jim.

The schnitzel at that pub,

that should be your prime suspect

Anais?

My office.

Can you get Mr Hannelly's details,

You are to make yourself available

If we need to talk further

I will hunt you down myself.

Are we clear?

Crystal.

Thank you.

Little firecracker,

(DOOR SHUTS)

What's up?

We didn't get the clearance

Souter's dead.

Oh...

Fuck.

Oh...

You needed to keep the pressure on.

You did what you had to do.

(EXHALES SHAKILY) Oh,

Now, I need you to focus

Alright?

Yep. (EXHALES SHARPLY)

OK.

Oh...

(DOOR OPENS)

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES SOFTLY)

Anais?

Ah, yes.

Guys, the, um, Shorrock assault.

We checked the street cam

but we also checked a couple blocks

Did you want

Uh, the-the...

Right. OK.

We'll-we'll just drive.

Uh, thank you.

Great. I'll just get rid of this.

Hey, are you OK?

Yeah.

Look, I heard about Souter.

I reckon take that.

But if you ever need

Whenever.

Hey. How's it going?

Hey, Hoana.

Good.

Uh, she's got

Residue.

The lift charge

but it was made up

Yeah, which means a faster,

Mm.

You know, one that never even

So, it was like...

Because there was no hole

Well done.

Right, but this doesn't confirm

No.

It could have been

or the casing itself.

Yeah, so I guess we prove

by answering two questions.

What sent Lumiere out there

what was the method of ignition?

Yes, exactly.

Your search of the debris

just wouldn't recognise.

Which is why I'm heading

Perfect. You go with her, Simon.

And I think we keep

Might show up the why he was there.

Yeah.

Um, can you hassle

Oui, oui.

Detective.

You have a visitor.

Detective Mallory?

Vernon Kincaid,

I'd like a word.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

(DOOR SHUTS)

(BIRDS TWITTER)

You visited Alan Souter

in jail some time ago.

Why?

I believed he might

about my father's death.

He was serving time

That was thoroughly canvassed

I think there's more to it.

Is that why you've been

for the last month?

To get him to tell me

Persistent.

Him or me?

I am. Yes.

Do, you know, who killed Souter?

The information he was withholding

about your father's death,

I can't tell you that.

I'm investigating a homicide.

And it's not yet appropriate for me

to share any suspicions

Well, some of us are more inclined

It's a photocopy, but if it helps

then maybe you'd be disposed

For our inquiry.

You have a good day.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(SOFTLY) Oh, my god.

(BIRDS TWITTER IN DISTANCE)

(INHALES, SIGHS)

(WHISPERS) Who the fuck is that?

(KNOCKS ON WINDOW)

Visitor.

Morena, doctor.

Hey. Morena.

Detective Mallory's a bit busy,

so she sent me to follow up

Right. Right, right.

Um, (SIGHS) yeah,

Well, they said she was assaulted

but Anais thinks that's a bit dodgy.

You know, why wait till 7

Yeah. Which is when these photos

(SIGHS) Exactly.

Yeah.

Yep, I think Anais is right.

It is fishy. You see there?

The bruising,

so I would say that she was struck

before these photos were taken,

And you see this here?

It's probably a ring.

Left-handed, single blow.

If that helps, Sergeant.

I'm sure it will.

Was Lumiere wearing a ring

No sign of one, no.

Alright, Doc. Thanks very much.

Yeah, no worries. Happy to help.

Hey, um...

Lumiere's autopsy report.

Nice. Anything interesting?

Yeah. As expected,

And you see here?

The names tattooed,

and this one here

"Billy."

Look...look...look, I...

Look,

I need that phone call history.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry

What?

No, we didn't get a French option

We got Maori. Yeah.

(CALL WAITING TONE BEEPS) Oh...

Oh, look, I got to go,

See you. I mean, ciao.

Detective. (CLEARS THROAT)

Hey, Jarrod, uh,

I need you to put together

a list of tattoo parlours

Tattoo parlours.

Right. OK. On it. Cheers.

No, no, no... Hold up, speedy.

I need you to visit them

from the pyro crew

OK. Yep. Sweet.

Specifically one that says "Billy."

Billy. Tattoo parlours. Gotcha.

We should have uniforms doing this.

Down and dirty.

That's how we find

(GRUNTS)

More spaghetti.

Speaking of which, um, you know,

the boss told me to look after you

while you're here,

I'd organise a dinner

You know, there's some really

Could get some real pasta, maybe.

That's really thoughtful

But, um, I'm actually meeting

Oh, cool. Cool, that's cool.

Great. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, you know, obviously,

No. (CHUCKLES)

I don't even know

Hey, maybe next time

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

(CHUCKLES) So...

(LAUGHS)

..where the hell's that console?

You know, it should be over

but it's-it's gone.

Yeah?

What does it look like?

Well, it should be

with lots of buttons

Like a console.

(GRUNTS) Like this?

(GASPS) Oh, my god.

Yes!

Wow. You beauty.

Yes, Gavin,

if he's under suspicion

Well, the Shorrocks

Yes, OK.

Bye.

Anais.

Hi, Mum.

Uh, it's not an official visit.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Have you got a minute?

Um, yeah. Sure.

I wanted to tell you something

It's about Alan Souter.

He's dead.

Oh. Uh... What happened?

He was stabbed earlier this morning.

Invercargill police are on it.

Are you OK?

Um...

Well, I-I don't know how I feel.

(EXHALES) Yeah.

Neither do I.

It feels like the end of something.

Anything's allowed, I guess.

(SIGHS)

I've been questioned

because I was on Souter's back

trying to get information

I've finally got that information,

you need to be careful.

What do you mean?

Exactly. It's our gig! Alright?

We were given the contract!

Hey. Hey...

Well, it's mine,

Nah. Nah, nah, nah, mate.

It's ours! Hey! Hey, you stop it!

Alright, everybody, cut it out!

Hey, guys, calm it down!

Get out of it!

Don't you fuckin' touch me! Hey!

(WHISTLES SHRILLY)

Everyone stay where you are.

I think he's hit his head.

OK. I'll call an ambulance.

Doing it now.

(SOFT, TENSE MUSIC)

(STRETCHER WHIRRS, RADIO CHATTER)

(SIGHS)

Hey, can you tell him...

Yeah, yeah, nice one, Jimbo!

This is bullshit. This is bullshit.

Yeah, nice one, dickhead.

Nice one.

You proud of yourself?

Oi, why don't you sh...

Hey, just cool it, please!

Even when they're highly capable

(CHUCKLES SHORTLY)

Well, I'd better go check

but nice to properly meet you

Bit of a shit fight.

It's a good thing

Yeah, actually, why did you show up?

Jesus.

Alan Souter's dead, stabbed.

Hi, Ben.

Is your mum home?

She's gone to the prison.

I heard about Alan.

I'm really sorry.

Just go away.

He's dead because of you.

Hey, that-that is not true.

(SCOFFS)

This happened

Oh...

I am here because I am trying

and I am trying to make sure

He was scared.

He said someone

I know.

And listen, I think he found a way

and I think it is the same person

It's all in here.

Listen, what do you know

About how they work?

What?

It is all about a chain reaction.

You start it, the pressure builds

it blows a shell

Destroys itself.

You can help me

You can help me find the person

I have lit the fuse.

Now, we just have

(UNEASY MUSIC)

(SIGHS) Hey.

I've been calling you.

Our brawlers are on ice.

Yeah. I, um, had to do something.

OK.

Well, the guy who got injured's

I'm in touch with the hospital,

(EXHALES) Oh. OK.

Looks like we've got some interviews

Yeah.

Ooh.

The firing console,

Wow. Well done, Simon.

What am I looking at?

The circuits are all numbered

All pretty mangled, burnt.

But see this wire?

It's been cut.

Both ends neatly trimmed

Which means...

There was something inserted

And I found this, it's the remains

And this is a fragment

The power source.

So, this is our answer

Mm.

The explosion

This was definitely no accident.

Thank you.

You said "A couple of things."

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, Hoana and I went through

for the last couple of weeks.

Anything useful?

Useful, but not conclusive.

Highlighted one call here,

Ah. OK.

Well, let's get

from near that callbox.

Yeah. I'll organise it.

Hey, (SOFTLY) um, Hoana,

on that other guy

OK.

He was on our eyewitness list

and then all of a sudden

It's worth checking out.

Mm. Ka pai.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

I reckon Kylie Shorrock

For starters, the Shorrocks lied

these injuries

it was more like two.

Yeah. We can't find the three kids

Kylie was hit

most likely wearing a ring.

Matheson is right-handed,

if his right hook's anything

Then there's Fingers,

But Robbie is left-handed.

Yeah, but if Robbie hit his wife,

why was he so keen to report it?

Misdirection?

If he found out about the affair

he'd want to conceal any motive.

So, he blames the assault

Well, it's a pretty good theory.

OK. Go test it out.

Mrs Shorrock, the last few weeks,

you made multiple calls

to Jean Pierre Lumiere.

Yeah. So?

He was mentoring me.

One on one?

What did that involve?

Where you going with this?

Well, most of these texts

one on the night of the explosion,

You said you hadn't spoken

Oh, I meant in person.

I was just checking

We happen to know

this assault did not take place

before these photos were taken,

What's that got to do with anything?

Was it your husband

Oh, fuck me dead. (SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

Would you describe Robbie

(EXHALES SOFTLY)

We're both pretty fiery.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Yeah, alright,

But he's harmless.

I wouldn't describe

What was he so angry about?

Were you having an affair

(CHUCKLES)

Is that why Robbie killed him?

Robbie did not kill JP.

He'd already got everything

What does that mean?

He'd already worked

Some new suppliers came in,

Just before your wife texted him.

We know you found out about them.

And we know it was you that hit her,

and as soon as we're done here,

You know, your calls

Regular communication

you were here,

and then zero communication

from the time

And then suddenly

on the night he was killed.

Was it that call that sent him

No.

Bullshit.

No.

I swear.

Oh, Detective.

I believe you've met my niece Lena.

Uh, we remembered each other,

even though the circumstances

Yeah. Did you find out

Yeah. It was, um, reunited

Yeah. It wasn't

Lena's visiting for a while.

Yeah, I'm going to spend some time

'cause I'm the favourite niece.

It's true.

Uh, we weren't expecting her

Yeah, none of us were.

Yeah, we're going to meet up

and then take Ken to see the lights.

Great. Have fun.

Uh, what time are we meeting?

Uh, once it's dark enough.

Eh, Maja?

Yeah.

See you, guys.

Anais.

Right.

(UNEASY MUSIC)

And the phone box caller

(SIGHS) Oh.

Now, we have to get Fingers

Hey, Anais?

Good call on the ink.

Gold has been struck again.

Very last parlour that I went to.

Flash as.

What friend?

Uh, the... Oh, gym lady.

So, I'm armed with the list, right?

Get it, eh? "Arm, list"?

OK.

Um, anyway, and I flashed

around old Maestro (FRENCH ACCENT)

Jarrod.

Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

Um, I flashed around

and I finally got a hit.

So, the dude got the "Billy" tattoo

after he'd arrived.

The scabbing would fit

But that's not exactly

Well... Nah, nah, nah.

Oh, there's more.

He also got another tattoo done,

a couple of days later

The one that was burnt to a crisp.

What did it say?

"Kylie".

(IMITATES SOFT EXPLOSION)

Ye...

OK, well, I mean, "Kylie"

isn't exactly unexpected,

The names, there was a mix

Well, what if this Billy

on Lumiere's call list?

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Yeah, maybe.

You know, sometimes

the evidence comes to light.

I mean, we were on the right track,

but it would've been really easy

So, we checked all

and since arriving, he's made over

to a William Cullen.

Are you familiar with that name?

Jimbo?

Maybe, you know, him as Billy.

No. Nah. I don't know any Billy.

Billy certainly knows you, Jimbo.

And he's not very complimentary.

He was another one

And so, were you.

No.

He ditched you for Billy.

He also slept with Kylie,

He got her name tattooed

Did you tell Robbie about that?

No. No!

He saw it, and he hit her.

JP was gonna report him.

And so, they killed him.

No.

It was you who called Lumiere

and told him there

It was your call

You'd already sneaked

and organised to get to the barge

so you could set up

But it wasn't entirely

We have fragments.

Blaming Fingers

of misdirection, I'll give you that.

Yeah.

And it was a pretty good alibi

when the explosion happened.

But your food poisoning

And guess what?

You slipped up.

You said you called Lumiere

you'd be back to work the next day,

you couldn't possibly have known

And then there's this, Jimbo.

All his conquests.

You were an earlier tattoo.

And this...

This was the ultimate insult.

This superimposing,

It must have been very painful, Jim.

(MELANCHOLY ACCORDION MUSIC)

(EXHALES SHAKILY)

He lied to me.

He betrayed me.

He was still talking

and then he fuckin' screwed Kylie

Maestro?

He was a fucking monster.

(UNSETTLING MUSIC)

We also checked your call logs.

There is only one outgoing call

and it's an odd one.

Four numbers. 2-2-6-4.
