Original subtitles

With this.

I thought that was the point.

That's what you said before last year's

beat, Shawn Mendes. You before? Yeah.

Well, like back like Cadillac over that

Thunderbird of hers. Any day of the week.

You'd make anything in your day of the

week.

The Hell's happened here?

Don't don't touch anything.

Call the cops.

He hasn't been moved. No. He's exactly as

we found him. No, just walked in and saw

him, called you guys, do you know?Then

we clapped eyes on him. No, no, it's

tight though. Young punk petrol head

trying to take what he hasn't earned.

Beautiful OHH work going on

to that 1969 Cadillac Eldorado.

Temperamental prima Donna, but worth

it. Injuries look consistent

of falling through the skylight. There

would have been massive internal trauma.

Plus the angle of the head hitting the

concrete has forced the neck back snapped

it.

Nowaday. No wallet, no

cards, no phone. He's conveniently a man

of no identity. As if he knew he might

not make it. Well, you're most

optimistic, burglar.

Who are you and who sent you? Thank?

Someone sent him. He's a kid. He's

someones minion. Or acting on his own

initiative. Sees a flash car, wants it.

You might be underestimating the driving

ambition of the younger generation, Mike.

Maybe underestimating their sense of

entitlement. Why are cars

like catnipped men? Young or old, the

engines often compensate for other

things. Ohh, you Mr. Feminist. No, that's

Roxy's theory actually. OK, how do you

know that the Eldorado was here, if

indeed that's what he was after?

And can we assume that he's local? I'll

get started on some inquiries.

Is that yours?

Good bones. Looking to do something with

that. I kind of like it the way

it is. Yeah, but there's a difference

between original and mint. Tell you what,

why don't you bring along, meet some

kindred spirits?

Come on, just do that.

Put your car people with one big, happy,

slightly mad family like hell.

Good to see you, girl. You

too, Greg.

To see you man. How long has it been?

Ohh, not long enough brother. Some

things never changed.

Yeah, we'll grab the bags.

At the back of the head from something

blunt. Is that what killed them?

How did he get it? It's not consistent

with the impact from the fall.

Kristen, could you check me out of the

folk before you go? Sure. She said

something on his way down. That there's

maybe a sprinkler pipe? I'd have to take

a closer look.

You looking for someone?Why

the screen?Catch

the light from the MIG welder Health

and safety thing, right? Yeah, that'll

work. Unlike the safety bars over the

skylight. What safety bars exactly? Sam's

safety protocol time.

Safe and secure. Good,

that's really want anyone else falling

through the roof. Ohh. Would you mind

just sticking to the nail lines?

From here it's a shared drop.

No one's going to touch the sides and the

way down from there.

How was he planning on getting down?

Did he have any rope on him? You're

right. He's never gonna be a happy ending

without rope.

The soles look like a match with you,

Brent. Thanks. Just checking.

I thought the weekend was all about the

big shop, the big parade. Yeah, yeah. But

tonight's little private St. action for

the hot rodders Chamber St. action.

What causes strictly?And what you're

doing on the street, is that legal? We

found a lot of Rd. outside town. It won't

be any traffic that time of night. You'd

be up for a little quarter mile, wouldn't

you? I drag race. Nah, man, doing good.

We're all friends here, aren't we?

And I need a crew tonight.

Where do you keep it? The ladder just

inside with the rest of the year? Is the

garage locked last night? If it wasn't

what he used, a scholar. Point taken.

There's nothing missing from what I can

see. For an

accident, there are too many unexplained

elements. It's not even a drain pipe we

could have shimmied up. So how did he get

on the roof, given that the letter was

locked inside last night? Maybe he had an

accomplice or a friend who scared with

their own ladder when things went wrong.

Some friend. So

why no rope? How was he planning on

lowering himself through the skylight?

Well, he was climbing on the roof in

work boots. How they designed for stealth

and total novice perhaps?

Frodo.

What are you doing here?

Too many heavy memories, you know,

Charlie and kids have been apprenticeship

here. So yeah, where were you this

morning? I got a call from Keith saying

the Biden accident take them long enough.

Nice wheels for an apprentice.

Thanks. I'm competing tomorrow.

God, what to do?Get on with it then.

3540 grand at least I'd say.

How do you come by that sort of cash?

Hey Fridays, heard something on the

Grapevine you might be interested in?

He totally loves it.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Where do you think you are mate? That is

a 56 custom line. It's a classic. Look at

it now it's it's.

Yeah, get back on your Tonka toy and head

for the hills. And if the cops turn up

tonight, I'll know exactly who tipped

them off. Yeah, yeah, surely will. Now

why don't you head home and tuck yourself

in with your cup of cocoa?No

matter who. What are you doing out here?

What are you hanging, Charlie? Probably

get back in your car.

And his boyfriend?Slick roads

and you need to get office. They're

killing the sport, giving genuine

enthusiasts a bad name. What? It goes for

you too, Charlie. What?

See you later, Charlie. Yeah,

goodnight mate.

I'm 6. On

the road.

Six months married.

That's sweet.

Isn't it your boss's car?

Yo boss, is that him? I

guess so. Jolly you, Dan.

You can't just leave him, he's busy.

Can we help but later reckon?

Wait.

Don't mind us.

What carry-on detectives? They've made a

lot of those carry ONS and

Barbara Windsor blonde, huge bosoms. Yes,

that's the one.

Petrol here dies ingesting petrol. Some

would call it irony, others might

say natural selection, ingestion. What

makes you so sure? The scenario

before us, Gina, All we know

at this stage is that he

has a plastic pipe sticking out

of his mouth. A plastic. -

Tube running back into the petrol tank.

He's a stone here. Tank is half

full. So he was taking gas out

of his own tank for someone else's.

Charlie would have had to park up

close to access that tube, so the

other car must have been here. Maybe

it slid into the siding. Is it

ran out of gas?There

are no obvious tire marks. So much

for the Good Samaritan.

But if it was an accident. And

the other party report it.

Cold as is he.

So yesterday morning you discover dead

men in your garage and this morning you

end up dead. Is this a coincidence,

Charlie?

You can get back to me on that. Speaking

of coincidence. Do you remember him?

Frodo isn't it. We've already told him

everything. Can we go now? She's pretty

freaked. That's understandable. Kind of

put a downer on the day. But we're hoping

to get to the beach Hop prelims. You've

just found your boss lying dead in the

road. You still in the mood? Ohh. Charlie

was a good guy and the beach was the

highlight of his ear. You wouldn't want

the show to stop just because. Get an

accident? What if it wasn't an accident?

What would that make you feel any

different?

Did Charlie have a wife? Yeah, they live

just up the hill off outside town of

Connor Morrow. Got to go away.

Could you take this statement? I thought

you wanted me to get to the beach house.

I prefer you more than me.

Detective.

For yourself. Apart

from the green Cadillac, bronze

bronze Cadillac, she was partially

obscured by the brown Mustang,

Red red Mustang.

Wow. Each panel,

paint and testosterone all in one place.

You've got to love it. No you don't.

How should we do this?

More coverage and quicker if we split up.

Valerie Baxter.

Yes, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike

Chicken. This is bad news, isn't it?

I'm afraid. Is there somewhere we can sit

down? Sorry, I don't want to sit down.

What's he done?Missus Beck said

your husband Charlie has been found dead.

I'm on the road for weeks at a time.

Sorry, you gotta check my makeup in the

mirror. What do you think?Yeah,

good. Kind of the old TV

today.

Just to see.

You're made of Charlie Beck's, aren't

you? Charlie's the president of the Car

Restoration Society. I'm the treasurer.

Yeah, we work very closely together.

He's been found an accident.

Ohh, serious, fatal I'm afraid.

Ohh dear.

Great coffee break. Yeah bro.

So.

You remembered. No sugar.

So enough of that, you used to say.

God I hate that noise. I'll give him

another call.

Remember these and scanned them. That

was us love birds.

Wow, long time ago. There's more.

Just like old times though.

Your coffee. What

was that 10 years ago? Where was I? Oh,

that's right. Afghanistan. Fighting the

good fight. The reconstruction force in

Birmingham province. Yeah, whatever that

means. Flag the coffee. The killing

machine is tuned and ready for action.

Let's get off to the beach shop.

So after the confrontation with the hot

rodders, you drove with Chili's garage?

Lift my car. Lift Charlie. Yeah. And

drove home. Charlie goes straight home.

No, Charlie went in the garage. You just

need to do one more. Really.

That Cadillac looks spotless? No, not the

body work. The engine is going to cut

and Polish the engine. Yeah, Chrome

plating like mine. Charlie was a true

devotee, just backed the wrong horse.

What horse? General Motors should have

got a Ford.

Look, I'm going to need to take a

statement. Yeah, yeah, I'm happy to

oblige, but. I

can't let them down.

Well, a couple of hunters saw the

Eldorado this morning as early as first

light, but no one stopped, so Charlie

could have been there for hours. Anything

from Olson? Not yet. It's a

grown man, want to dress up like that?

Kids happy. Freaked them out more

like. Dolly didn't come home last

night at any stage.

Was that unusual? Not in the lead up to a

big show. Like this weekend's

beach Hop parade. This obsessed with

that bloody car. That car

restoration stuff, it's like a drug and

addiction. I hated it, I told

him more than once. They'll come a day,

Charlie, be that car or me.

The irony is, it was him.

He wouldn't understand, of course. Sorry,

you're one of them. One of what? I

saw your car. I'll admit I

have a soft spot for the old Kingswood,

but it's not what you call an obsession.

You keep it that way.

Obsession can end up killing you.

Thanks for coming in.

Two victims on consecutive nights, but

what is the connection? Thanks. Charlie's

car. Balaclava drives trying to steal it.

Charlie was trying to protect it. Any

idea on balaclava? Fingerprints are

working on a match.

Marine sets have gone over Charlie's

Cadillac. There's nothing unusual about

it other than being a priceless piece of

automotive bling. Beauty is in the eye of

the beholder. You're saying

you're feeling the love, I'm saying I

really don't care. They'll bets that

hates cars with a passion. It doesn't

make her a suspect or just sane. She

didn't seem very upset. Ohh she's

definitely upset. There's more anger than

grief. She may know more than

she's letting on. I'll see what she

stands to make from Charlie's death.

Last night dad on occasion down on

Boundary Road with Charlie who was on the

other side of that out of Towners and

Jared, Jared and Olson Siola with

Charlie. They are were chairman and

treasurer of the Car Restoration Society

and rivals. They looked like mates up to

a point, but Charlie's pride and joy was

a Cadillac Eldorado. Olsens as a

Ford Thunderbird, so different cars.

It's tribal. You're either Ford or

General Motors.

OK, let's get back over the beach, I'll

do a bit of mix and mingle before the big

parade. Ohh, I'm not sure how much more

fawning over cars I can take. Deep down I

reckon there's a petrol head in you just

waiting to come out. Not even a tiny bit.

Impressive. Beast. Beast is right. 500

horsepower. What does that actually mean?

It goes fast. I think quarter of a

mile in less than 12 seconds. That's what

that means. I call her the killing

machine. Mike Christian, this is Greg.

And Carly McQueen.

Not formally introduced, but that's what

was gonna happen last night out on

Boundary Road. Ohh drag race. Ohh. Gentle

quarter mile mate. Nothing to be alarmed

about. But then those idiots turned up

and shut the party down.

Which Charlie and his mate. But you guys

are really knew that. So what's this

harassment really about, Greg? They're

just trying to do their job, bro. Nothing

happened last night. They're nothing.

Made sure of it by calling you guys.

There's something did happen. Yeah. Last

night Charlie Baxter died in suspicious

circumstances. No way. Delicious.

What was said out at Boundary Rd. before

we arrived, It was suspicious. That's

what we're trying to clarify by talking

to me. We're talking to everyone.

If you think you've got something on me,

go on, arrest me right here. But

otherwise you're Blondie here. Should

back off. We got a beach up to get to.

As have we.

Enjoy.

Since when did you get all friendly with

the cops? How about?

Sunish clowning until later. Yeah, it's

time for the serious business the

predella called Corker. You're the

defending champion, right? Well,

actually, she is.

Quick question, if Charlie cutting

Porsche engine how long would that take?

Two maybe 3 hours. But Charlie was a

perfectionist. They wouldn't have been an

all nighter, not even by Charlie

standards. Move

on, my beautiful.

If we believe that the first victim was

trying to steal the second victim's car,

then one gets the feeling that these

murders are all about cars.

The killer could be right here amongstus.

Well, that narrows it down a bit. You

think they're laughing at us right now?

Nothing. Target.

Just about.

Green Olson dropped Charlie at the garage

at about 10:30 PM. Charlie cuts and

polishes as engine, which according to

Olson would take him a Max 3 hours. So

that brings us to 1:30 AM. Latest

Christmas is one of the early arrivals.

Saw Charlie's Eldorado at about 7:30 this

morning. So Charlie died between 1:30 and

7:00. You

know, I think I'm starting to get all

this the color, the enthusiasm for their

hobby. All the

Cadillac, why don't they stop? Just

thought it was some guy tinkering with

his engine, taking a leap.

Whereas Frodo stopped because he

recognized his boss's car, sis.

Do we know what he was up to last night?

Gina.

On my way back. So

what's up?Gene's got a

cause of death.

Tell me what you see.

He died from superficial cuts and grazes.

How would that be possible?

OK, he died from swallowing petrol then.

If he had swallowed it he would probably

still be alive. Our digestive

systems can deal with petrol. In Russia,

some of the vodka is much the same as

gasoline. But for normal mortals like

Charlie Baxter, what killed Charlie

Baxter would kill any Russian too.

It was the petrol getting into his lungs.

Even a tiny drop there can be very

dangerous because it spreads out rapidly,

coating and damaging the tissue and

making it very hard to breathe. So the

actual cause of death would be

asphyxiation by the petrol coating his

lungs. But how would

I get in there? By inhalation? Or. But

why would he start inhaling petrol if his

breathing was suddenly disrupted? If he

began coughing like someone attacking him

while he was attempting to siphon,

forcing him violently forward onto his

hands and knees?

So it wasn't a coincidence, was it,

Charlie?

Mosul.

That's right. I'd

like to dedicate this year's Predeal Coal

course. My dear friend

Charlie Baxter. Excuse me, Sam moment of

your time and we've just recalled what

could be a material we well, Mrs.

Marlow recalled. How can I help that

young man in the red shirt, Brown,

brown. He was the first of the

scene of the crime, if indeed it

was. One of the young girls got out of

his car and discovered poor old Charlie

Baxter. Umm, the interesting

thing is saying. I'm

no criminal investigator, as you know,

but when we pulled up and

it would ask Fredo.

But later, I reckon he said too

late.

Before the young lady screamed, meaning

that young man seemed to already know

what the young lady was about to

discover and it was too late to

help poor Charlie Baxter.

You can confirm that it would. Well, let

me see. You know, how can I put this

on? If Missus Marlow says that the the

young man told her that it was too late

before the young lady screamed, then that

is exactly what happened.

Thank you.

Umm.

Umm.

Very Thelma and Louise. Ah, I'm

Kimberly, and she's Tony.

You must be proud.

So you and Frodo, you're Renita,

you're away. Ohh, sorry. So you,

well, we both sort them out

kind of. OK, so you were

both with photo last night. No,

it's not like that.

Congratulations. Seems a bit hollow

without Charlie being around. Still, on

to more important things, like making

little kids laugh.

The kids actually laugh. Yeah, of course.

Yeah. But is it, like, joyous laughter

or a bit, you know, this? When

I was a kid, I always thought

clouds were pretty scary.

You actually want something?

She didn't look like she was

congratulating you she's upset about.

The need to explain it would be helpful.

Everyone know compassion. She just

lost her husband.

Of course. Thanks for your time.

So Charlie fell forward onto his hands

and knees, choked on the siphon, and

ended up being pitched on his lungs.

Question is, did he fall or was he

pushed? Well if it was an accident, how

come whoever Charlie was trying to help

hasn't come forward? Someone forced him

to swallow. The picture of what's

manslaughter? At the very least, we need

motivating What is it and who might have

it?Ohh, Greg McQueen seemed pretty

fired up going head-to-head with Charlie

last night. We were too late to hear

exactly what was said. I'll have a yarn

with Jared away from McQueen. Try and

confirm what was said. Olson Siola was

having heated words with Val, Charlie's

widow, after the prize giving. She says

she hates girls. What was she doing

there? Crying on Olson's shoulder,

apparently. You think?At all? OK,

digging. Minor point, but neither of the

two girls in photos car is his

girlfriend. What like rented date pretty

much, but meaning neither of them can

verify photos. We're abouts last night.

Ohh and Missus Marlow and Edward, Rick

and Frodo told them it was too late to

help Charlie before Kimberly discovered

his body. Tomorrow morning. Bring Fredo

in for a chat. Yes, boss.

This seems different since they've got.

Maybe. Pretty hard

out things. That guy.

Ohh, it's true.

Hold on, hold on.

Yeah.

Just like old times. Me

up for that.

So.

Yeah, goodnight bro. Ohh, goodnight.

He'll appreciate you bringing him in. I

usually have to leave him in the car

because he liked it a lot. Fair

bit. That's OK.

Yeah, why do we sing?

That's good. I'm glad you're happy, you

know.

Do you sometimes wish things had worked

out differently?

Between us. You can't just

say stuff like this. Tell me you don't

think about it. I

don't really. Have you

ever had anything else like we had?

Look, Callie. I'm pretty much kept

to myself these days and.

That's how I like it.

No.

But early in the morning for the mailman,

Mike, maybe, And I'll take it You're not

keen on taking that running again? Yeah,

not really dressed for it. OK. What?

Out on Boundary Road, before Kristen and

Brianna arrived, there were strong words

said between Greg McQueen and Charlie

Baxter. What was said? Is this on the

record or is this just the bit where Mr.

Anonymous helping you with your

inquiries? Mr. Anonymous works for me.

We're just talking at this

stage, OK? Talking and walking.

Walking, not running.

Craig was passed off, all right, and if

the cops turn up tonight, I'll know

exactly who tipped them off. So Greg made

a direct threat against Charlie Baxter.

Was it a threat? Look, Mike Griggs, a

decent guy deep down, He served in

Afghanistan. Something happened. I don't

know. Made reconstruction fatigue. He's

dropping hints. There was more to it than

that. Maybe he's got some post traumatic

stress. So you and Greg and Carly came

straight back home after that? We did.

You and Greg was at your place all night.

Yeah, it must have been. I would heard

their bloody machine if you tried to go

out. You sure? Yeah. I mean no

way that monster wake the dead killing

machine. What do you call it that?

Kills the competition

metaphorically.

It's just a stupid name, Mike.

Were you not before last the night

Charlie died? Am I in the gun for that?

It's not the most helpful turn of phrase

bro. Do you mind just answering the

question?Working late on my car,

getting it ready for the show. So you

were at the garage when Charlie came back

with Olson? When did they turn up? When

did you leave before they turned up to

put a time on it?About

10:30, that's when Charlie came back with

Olson. Tin maybe Azalea because I

didn't see them.

Why did you pretend that Kimberly was

your girlfriend? She's a girl, she's a

friend. OK, she loves

my car, OK, I get that. But you stand a

better chance of winning with a *** *****

in your car. So works both ways, right?

Charlie's Cadillac missus Marlo and

Edward arrived just after you. Yep. When

Edward asked if they could help, you

said it's a bit late for that.

Yep. Yeah, I think I did.

You said that before Kimberly discovered

the body, so as if you already knew

Charlie's body would be there. How could

I have known that? Why did you say it's

a bit late for that? Because we were

already there, already taking care of

what was taken care of. Whatever was the

problem with Charlie's car, You know

Missus Malone, It would. Yes. Well. What

help could they possibly be?

Boots.

Your boat. So what?

What brand are they?

Beyond the label.

Your own boats and you don't know what

they are. I was given them by Charlie

Standard as you work 1969 Cadillac

Eldorado. Temperamental prima Donna, but

worth it. Standard issue. You sure about

that? Yeah. What size?

12. You're a size

12.

The soles look like a match with you,

Brent, so they're big. I like them that

way. Particularly with the freight

extra pair of socks. Sweetest.

What 1?Look how the Greeks

going to pull us hidden and be careful

the cops know you threatened Charlie Best

the night he died and I had to reassure

them he was here all night.

Jared. What I said last

night. Deal. It had a

few. I mean every word of it.

Jeez, Carly, what am I supposed to do

with it?They can't

be coming.

You were seen arguing with Olson Siola at

the Beach Hop prize giving yesterday.

What was that about? Nothing important. I

thought you had an aversion to the whole

car culture thing. I do. What better

place to find a buyer for Charlie's

Cadillac? I thought Olsen might buy it,

given he's got all the money. I don't

really care what I made it go for. Sorry,

Val. I'm sorry for your loss, but I've no

desire to own that car. I'd be like

Walking Dead man's shoes. While he's

still wearing them.

Can't you take it and flick it onto some

other car nut?Why

do you need the money? The bank made

a friendly call just over a week ago.

This place is underwater. Virtually. You

talked to Charlie about that? No. Why

not? I tried to. He got angry.

Before the bank rang, you had no idea how

much the mortgage was. The mortgage

secures whatever's owed to the bank,

including any business debt, and I had no

idea how much that was. Was Charlie

Violent man?Not to me

too. You wouldn't want to cross them,

that's all. So you

never did until the night he died?

You said it was an accident.

We believe that Charlie stopped for

someone on the side of the road that they

had run out of petrol and he went to help

them out. Was that you?

We are working through several theories.

For instance, it's dark, the wee small

hours. Who's the one person in the world

that Charlie would be certain to stop for

his own wife if you'd run out of gas?

No, that never happened. OK, Like I said,

it's only a theory. I never left the

house. Can anyone confirm that? No.

I know how this looks. I knew something

was wrong. He was away a lot. Away

overnighters. He said it was the

Cadillac, but there was something else

going on. There must have been. I kept

asking him what was wrong and he'd just,

he'd say it was business and and not to

worry about it. Did you ever think there

was someone else? Of course I've been

asked him if there was another woman. At

least he was honest there was. Yes,

he said her name was El Dorado.

He could be such a ***** ****.

We're in.

Thanks. We have

a fingerprint match for the guy who fell

through the skylight.

Sonny Smith. Long list of previous bit

of breaking and entering. Lots of car

conversion. Another car enthusiast. Maybe

he was after Charlie's Cadillac. Well,

maybe there's something else in that

garage he was interested in.

Local up north until recently patchy

employment history up there possum

trapper forestry release cutter local

farmhand arrived down here six weeks ago

and got a job cleaning cars therefore.

Local clown Olson siola of T bird

cars You really don't like him Why

would anyone want to be a.

To bring a little joy into the

world. Something dodgy about clowns.

Anyway, getting back to the facts. Olson

Seola employed the deceased Sunny Smith,

one of the deceased. Maybe Sunny was

stealing to order for Olsen Cadillac

General Motors. Olsen wouldn't sully

himself. What was that kid?

And we've seen them and I still want to

know how he got on the roof. What do we

know about the business Baxter Imbalance?

They advertise themselves as a one stop

car shop, repairs, panel and paints and

they do compliance work for inputs so

they take the cars off the Wharf as they

arrive. The importer does that,

then the dealer takes the cars to an

authorized compliance agent like Baxter

and Balance. They check them out, make

sure they can be issued with a warrant of

fitness for our roads, and then the cars

go back to the dealer to be sold. Sounds

lucrative. Baxter and Balance is the only

authorized compliance agent in the area.

Coaching. So how come the Baxter house

is so heavily mortgaged?

Get an address or phone number for Sunny

out of Olson, then go there, find someone

to ID him at the Mortuary and pick up

whatever background you can on them.

There must be some connection to Charlie

Baxter.

Ohh, the clown whisperer.

Do you have any contact details for a kid

you employed here as a cleaner? Sunny

Smith Who? How many cleaners do you have?

They're called car valet. What's the

name again?Smith.

Smith. Such an unusual name,

it's a wonder I can't

remember it. Sunny, Sunny.

Wait, wait there. I think I've got

something for you. You came and looking

for a car village job, so I gave him a

couple of tries. They give up on the boy

stone most of the time.

I said I'm surprised he's in trouble.

The city was.

Inquiring after him.

Ohh the 4th.

Case balance about.

Urgent call out delivery just finished

compliance on that you.

What happens behind here? That's where

the compliance work get done for the

imports. Why is it screened? Regulations

going to be accredited to do that stuff,

Separate business. I can't go in there

and nor should you. That's the rules.

That's OK. You'll cost me my job. You've

got to be a creditor.

No car. Keith was driving it there too.

Making a delivery I guess. Delivering

the car, yeah.

Who do you think it's a secret? I mean

most of that works for T bird cars as far

as I can make out.

Alright, stop please.

Come on.

No.

Ohh help. Don't run,

OK? When a police officer says stop,

you stop. I didn't know I was

being chased. Why were you running?

Exercise.

It's for my own use. What's your name?

Do you know Sunny Smith?

Yes or no? Do you know him?

That's my cousin.

Where is he?

How did this happen?

Skylight. Possibly accidental.

You're right.

Why don't you?

When you get.

Are we interrupting something? Not at

all. Just delivered an import and I'm

about to pick up a new one.

Takes a day or three to clear customs. Is

there a problem with that? Why did you

take off when we pulled up the garage?

Didn't see you. Ohh we had a little chat

to photo you. Freddy's got Nike and the

margin for error. Why did you give him an

apprenticeship then? Anyway? It's CC, Did

a lot of things please detectives can't

see. Charlie Duke, Keith, there's there's

many stages to grief. There's anger. I'm

talking to him.

Charlie was just a bit headstrong at

times, that's all. Photo's not a

bad guy. Look, I've got I've got work to

do. Got to get that new back to the

garage. Time is money. That's what I

wanted to talk to you about.

Money.

You seem upset about Charlie. I'm the one

who's holding the baby. Is there

something you want to share? Perhaps down

the station while making a statement? Why

am I suspect? Well, that would suggest

that you believe Charlie was murdered.

Why, You could put whatever words you

want in my mouth. I'm saying nothing.

My cousin wouldn't fall. He was like a

cat as in burglar. Was

Sunny on the job when he fell? Who

was he working for? Ty? Somebody sent him

to Baxter's garage. COVID-19

Who from?He

wouldn't say he never did.

Was his way of protecting me.

Sonny took a call while on the home line.

Hit a mobile who doesn't?

What do you think happened to Charliethen?

Charlie owed a container load of

money. Though his house was mortgaged

to the hilt.

Though said that was because the business

was in trouble. The business wasn't the

problem. Charlie was the problem Why

you got us fine. Take a look at

the apes.

What's up Baxter's mobile? Something

about apps?

Geez.

Gaming Club. Jackpot City

Royal Vegas. Charlie

had a gambling problem. It wasn't a

problem. It was catastrophic. Who do you

owe money to? I heard Leo. He owed me for

taking the money out of the business. He

had Valve for leaving her nothing. Well,

that gives you and Val Motors. I like.

Hell, I've had enough of this. I don't

have to stay here. You know That's right.

You don't. Good enough for me.

Does he ever stop fiddling with the

car or drinking?

Jared, please, you can't call me that

anymore. Sorry, what a Greg walked

in and overheard. Is that the only

reason? No, but what happened between us?

It was. It was a long time

ago, I know that OK.

There's still something I need to tell

you. Ohh, Carly, we can't go there. It's

not about that. The

night before last. The night of the

standoff between Greg and that guy,

Charlie Baxter. Greg went out.

No, no, no, couldn't have. I would have

heard him. He didn't take the custom

line. He took your car.

No way Greg's got problems,

but. He's

no murderer.

Great that that he hits me where no one

will see. Never my face.

Sometimes around the head.

Not great. You guys can't see what's in

front of your eyes when it comes to your

mates.

What happened to him? He was always

exactly like this. Afghanistan just made

it worse.

Sonny's cousin Thai confirms that on the

night he died, someone phoned him on his

mobile, which seemed to have disappeared.

He went out to meet someone and never

came back, so he was on a mission. Texas

Garage. Ty also said Sonny was as agile

as a cat and she doesn't believe him.

Four, unless the agile cat was wearing

oversized boots. Completely the wrong

footwear for creeping across roads. By

the look of it, he and his cousins and

have two cents to rub together. Maybe

those boots were on the head or someone's

trying to cover their tracks.

Also a big doper, according to Olson,

who cannot be trusted because he's a

clown. That's better. At this

stage, wasn't Olsen's opinion that Sunny

was a Stoner backed up by the back of

dope you found on his cousin? Maybe he

was so stoned he put on the wrong shoes,

started to have a way too big for him.

But the Charlie size exactly. Yeah, and

size 12 is the same size that photo is.

So. Kid of a

middle-aged success story, own house

owned business. We are now getting a

picture of a very different Charlie

Baxter, a desperate gaming addict who was

causing his wife and business partner

financial distress, which might provide

motive for both of them, but motive

enough for murder certainly put a lid on

all the debts. Is running out. Maybe Val

and Keith run it together. Conspiring

lovers. Valerie Baxter is living proof of

what my mother used to say. When debt

comes in the door, love flies out the

window. Get hold of the Vector Ambulance

company records, balance sheet, cash

flow, who owes what, where. And then we

get enough forensic accountant. Let's see

what we can make of it. Question.

Yeah.

What are you doing here? I can't be

seen. I can see you. Can we go

somewhere? You know, without Windows?

What time was this? Well, Carly reckons

the bedside digital was reading 2:23 AM.

You saw and heard nothing, sound asleep.

So Greg leaves the marital bed, takes

your car and goes. Wait, what? Carly has

no idea. She went back to sleep, didn't

hear him come in, but when she woke just

after six. Greg. Was in bed beside it

between 2:30 and 6:00. Certainly fits the

time frame for Charlie Baxter's death. I

thought it might.

There's no avoiding it. We have to

interview Greg, try and get a statement.

If Greg gets a woofer with this is coming

from Carly, might be the next body you

find. You think he's that bad? What she

don't know about your mates? He's been

giving Carly the bashing. She showed me

the bruises. She's terrified of him. We

could arrest him for that. I doubt she

would testify against him. OK, we can

sort this so it doesn't come back on

here. We don't have to disclose who our

witnesses. Thanks.

You made hiding in the kitchen.

We're actually here to see you. Listen,

I've already told you if you want to talk

to me, you're going to have to erase me.

Maybe you insist caution themselves.

Based on what?

Good morning, Jared. What the hell is

this? What do you think? You're on me,

huh? They can't have anything on you,

babe. Just relax. Relax. You've got

something to say. Say it here. We'd like

to, but it's confidential to you. Like

what? It's to do with a witness that's

come forward. A witness?It'll be nothing.

Your movements the night you were out on

Boundary Road.

OK, well let me grab my stuff

and I'll meet you down at the

station. Much appreciate it.

Better hope he turns up kind of like he

won't be hard to find.

Yo, mate, straight out of the body,

Gestapo. What the hell is he trying to

prove? Are they just doing their job,

Greg? Yeah. Ticking the boxes. You better

be all it is. See you guys soon.

Friday. Ohh, come on.

What? Where's the boss?

He was here, but isn't.

Might be.

Hey, what the hell do you think you're

doing?I was going to

ask politely if I could have accessed

your firm's financial rewards, bank

accounts, securities, budgets, cash flow

charts, getting out of here. You need a

warrant to do that. Let's Plan B. Either

way, it's going to happen. Look, we just

want to familiarize ourselves with your

position. My position? What? Visa V

Charlie Baxter was bent over a table with

my pants around my ankles.

Because of Charlie's gambling, pretty

much. They must have been hard to take.

Look. He dipped his fingers in the tile

and put the squeeze on the business.

That's all infuriating, but you get on

with it or you take medicines. Your own

hands. Skip back control bucket this.

I've got guts full.

Here and here.

That's first years. There's only seven

more years to go. Watch your first

dose and this, ohh, this.

For your bloody boats.

Keith Balance is keen to help.

Sort of looks like it.

Brian Mcqueen's on his way in. How did

you manage that? He wants to find out

what we know. The theory being Charlie's

driving home in the dark. He stops, help

someone he knows. He recognizes Jared's

car, assumes it's him. That makes sense.

There's no way he would have stopped for

Greg's hot rod. There's more.

You do the interview, given that Greg

knows I'm friendly with Jared. OK,

Remember before confirming Carly's

assertion, get him to deny it and their

names will not leave my lips.

7:50.

OK. We just need to firm up on everyone's

movements. So can you confirm that you

didn't go out in any car between the

hours of 1:30 AM and 6:30 AM that morning?

Any other information that you were out

and about in Jared Mora, who's car and

this is really the witness that you

mentioned? That's right. Who is?

So this witness that you were

named reckons that ** *** it.

And they saw me and Jared's doing in the

early hours of the morning that Charlie

died, Is that it?

So how can this witness be sure it wasn't

Jared in his car?

That witness says it was you. May

be sure ** *** it, or them.

Would have been dark. And how many people

around here know me?The witness saw you

at the beach hub. The bait

shop that installed on the next day.

Well, that car of yours attracts a lot of

attention. Not before the beach shopping

again. That means ** *** was at

the drag race that wasn't out on Boundary

Road. We just need to know whether you

can account for your movements that

night. But there were no movements. I was

in bed asleep. And I have two alibis that

support me on there. And Miss Jared was

on his car. But I

wouldn't know I was asleep.

We spoke with Jerry. We will speak to

Dad. If you haven't spoken to Joe, how

you know was this car? I wouldn't have

noticed his car. And he knows it wasn't

Dara driving, it was you. Which

is weird because as I said, I was tucked

up in bed all night and you can easily

find 2 witnesses to verify that you could

have slipped out. I'm going to either of

them. Which is why you took Jared's car.

So they wouldn't hear anything. So they

heard nothing. I don't know, I'm just

guessing. You've talked to Jared and

Carly already? No, I didn't say that. You

got nothing. You're fishing.

I don't know who put you up to this, but

someone is hanging me out to dry.

You got him to deny he was out and about.

Jarrod can't actually confirm that he

left the property at that time. And his

car. No, it's down to Carly. We have to

get her statement. Can we pull both

Charlie and Jared? And now? I mean, they

can just tell Greg that they're providing

him with an alibi. In fact, if we don't

do that, Green will get suspicious.

You've got the makings of what,

the forensic accountant?

Speak Jared will be showing up any minute

now. I don't want to miss a chance to

share lunch with his old flame.

What's with the paranoia? Just because

you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not

out to get you. What are

you talking about?The

cops raped and that they have a witness

who saw me driving Jared's car the night

that that guy was killed. No way you were

in bed with me all night.

Did you tell them that?

I will, but you haven't spoken to them

already. No, I swear.

Speak of the devil. What did I tell

you? Can't stay away from you.

Hey, hey, brother.

Cleaning your rifle? Yeah. Old army,

Yeah. But stay hard here. Seeing

the desert with your life depends on

having a clean rifle. I

thought I could depend on you. OK.

I thought we were mates. What do you

mean? I don't expect you to go to the

cops behind my back. What? No. Stitch me

up. Come on now. You've been speaking to

your detective mate. The cops reckon they

witness who saw me driving your car the

night that Charlie was killed. I thought

you were asleep. What? You told who? The

cops. Who? What are you?It was your car,

they need to talk to you first to make

sure you weren't driving me. Not if

they're saying I know how the cops work.

Who do we have here?

Didn't hear you knock.

Is caliber? That depends. I'll get

back to you.

OK, love birds. Which one of you put the

cops up to this?

Someone better start talking real quick.

Is everything OK in there? Greg? You tell

me there's an issue. Let's just keep calm

and talk it through. Listen to your man.

He's giving you a chance to tell the

truth. OK? OK. It was me. You were right

to be suspicious. I wanted to be with

Carly and saw a chance to get you out of

the way.

She knew nothing about it.

I knew nothing, honestly.

Should put a bullet through your head.

Don't babe, he's not worth it.

You tell them what you just told me.

1000.

Greg never took my car. He was here all

night.

Me and Carly could get back together.

OK. You got that, We've

got that. Now you can lower the

rifle.

Lower the rifle.

Good. Now put it

down.

Let's step back inside.

Put your hands on your head.

Now.

There was such a brave thing to do. Thank

you. It's over. They're like

break up in. You'll be able to make

a statement. Hey, hey, hey.

Greg Oliver, Basuki.

Maybe I won't have to make a statement.

How do you mean? Well, Greg will go to

prison for what he did today. Maybe, but

he's still got to stand trial for

murdering Charlie Baxter.

Except he couldn't possibly have done

that. He

was here all night. He never went out. He

didn't take your car. I

wanted them out of the way so we could be

together again. It was

all a lie, a white lie in a good cause.

Do you know what you've done? You told

Greg the truth that you really want to be

with me, and I want that Tobey back the

way it was. Get in the car. I don't know

what else to do. Get in the

car, Carly.

Charge him with reckless use of a

firearm. I've got a statement from Carly.

We'll go from there.

She's got something to tell you.

Unbelievable. I know you want to charge

with something, but all she's actually

done is lie to Jared. I feel like

we're going round and round in circles,

getting nowhere. Donuts. Doing

Donuts going round and round in circles

and getting nowhere pitch. Weird too. I

know what a doughnut is. I'm just

surprised that you do, actually. I can

see you popping some wheelies in your

youth. Did you pull a few doughnuts?

Let's just say I prefer mine with jam

and cream. Hey you. You could see the

money trail here, so much money, huge

amounts going out on Beck's online gaming

accounts, Indian sports betting TAB,

online poker, you name it. Charlie was up

to his eyeballs and so he was a gambling

addict. Does that help us? No, the

mystery is not how he lost all this

dough, it's where the hell he got it

from. The business is doing well. Bill

and paint the car appears. The compliance

work on imports is all here. All going

through the books. Sorry. Blow it all and

much more besides. According to Val, he

borrowed against the business and against

their house. Yeah, that would cover some

of it, but Charlie's online gaming

accounts show so much more going out,

there's no trace of it on the books. So

he must have had a huge stream of income

that wasn't going anywhere near the

books. From where? From his winnings? No

way. None of those accounts were ever in

credit. So Beck's gambling and gaming

went far beyond what he was making from

the business. Way beyond. And despite all

this money coming in, the business itself

is mortgaged to the hilt and the land the

garage sits on to. An alpha

called Taurus Inc and then there's also a

debenture on the remaining company assets

to something called selling. Who are

they? Well, I'm still trying to find out.

They were shelf companies but now with an

accountant holding the shares in trust

for the real owners. Which means we're

looking for a cash source, some kind of

black market money stream. Has to be

Keith Balance must know where the cash is

coming from. How could he not? And how

could he not stop Baxter from blowing it

all up? OK, an e-mail from Val and

Charlie's insurance company. Charlie's

life policy was increased 10 days ago.

Sole beneficiary wife Valerie

Baxter.

We note that you increased Charlie's life

cover, doubled it to half a million just

over a week before he died. I did. It

was A5 yearly review. I know the timing

looks bad, but it was just a coincidence.

That's where. And when exactly did you

hear from the bank?About the size of the

mortgage on this place before or after

you increase the life insurance.

Before right, So increasing the

life insurance wasn't entirely

coincidental. No, I called

them. Can you blame me? The point is,

you doubled the cover of your husband's

life insurance just days before he was

killed. That was coincidental, I swear.

Ohh. You'll have to. Then. There's this

half mile in the pipeline. Why were you

so anxious about selling Charlie's killer?

Very quickly realised after he died that

half a million wasn't nearly enough.

I'm sorry, babe, Sorry doesn't do it. It

didn't work out exactly as I thought it

would, but hardly. I

don't blame you. You did what you

did to try and get out of a toxic

relationship in. I get there.

But I'm not the answer.

You've got Greg, got the picture for a

while and. You should

take advantage of that.

Go see your family and let them help.

I'm still your friend, OK?

OK.

Olson says that after the altercation out

on Boundary Road. Challenge drove him

back to the Back Storm Balance garage.

We like to get a forward.

Goodnight, Goodnight.

Home. And Charlie works on

the Eldorado. Next morning,

Charlie is found dead beside his

Eldorado, halfway between the garage and

his home. Yet when I showed up here

that morning to give Belle the bad news,

his youth is sitting in the driveway

there.

How did Charlie's Luke get home that

night? Either Charlie drove it or you

drove it. Either way, you're not telling

us the truth, Bell. He did come home.

Those bloody hot rodders spoil it for

everyone. He wanted me to drive him back

to the garage because he still had more

work to do on the car. He said he'd bring

it home. So we could go straight to the

beach, hop in the Eldorado in the

morning. This was about 10:30, quarter to

11. He never came back to the house that

night. And the Eldorado, no, it wasn't

the first time he promised to come home

and not showing up after you dropped him

at the garage. She came straight home.

And you never left the house again that

evening? No. Why do you think I never

mentioned it? I was the last one to see

him alive. I knew that. And the insurance

would make me a suspect.

Last line to the police, it doesn't

help.

No one's touched this since Charlie

packed in here. I I ran him back to the

garage in my car.

OK, no idea where.

Sonny Smith, I swear I've never seen you

in this stuff before. What the hell was

Charlie up to? I'd say he was up to

no good. The

shoe fits, and I suspect it will.

On Sunday's foot.

I verified that these belonged to Sunny

and they fitted his feet perfectly.

They're not the only things that fit.

From something blunt is not consistent

with the impact from the fall. Don't have

traces of Sonny's blood in here. Ty also

said Sunny took a call earlier in the

evening before going out. She was telling

the truth. Tracer. The Jerry candle needs

to be tested too. I'm picking all have

some of these prints on it as well as

Charlie's. Sonny was

sent to the Baxter and Bella's garage not

to steal the 1969 Cadillac Eldorado, but

to burn the garage down. Why? Insurance,

We can only assume.

But Charlie was working late.

Charlie heard or saw something and

sprang Sunny about to commit arson.

Charlie Waxman.

Charlie needs to make a look like an

accident. He's got too much to hide, so

he gets the letter from the garage and

drop Sunny through the skylight.

Make it look like the burglary gone

wrong. Which is why there's only one

set of footprints on the roof and a

burglar's not going to care about keeping

to the nail lines. But Charlie did care

about those prints out there.

And he saw a great way to tie those to

Sunny.

So it's clear that Charlie killed

something. But who

killed Charlie? Was it revenge for Sunny?

Whoever ordered Sunny to torch the garage

would have been angry that Charlie

screwed the plan. We'll only know that

when we find out who sent Sunny on his

mission. It's got to be an inside job.

Keith, Balance or Val.

And where is Frodo and all of this?

Who's the boss?

They can't just barge in there.

Frodo getting here now.

Stand back.

Right, stay with him until he's up to

talking about the secrets he was so keen

on taking to the grave.

Too many loose scenes around you. Photo

brand new boots. The day after the bird

was found dead in the garage wearing the

same brand and size. Charlie flicked me

those. What am I supposed to do, turn

them down so I can fork out for my own?

How much would you fork out for that car?

Be worth about 30 or 40K. And how

does an apprentice McKenna get that sort

of cash? It's not actually mine, meaning

it's the companies. Which companies?

Charlie and Keith jacked it up for me

so I assume it was them. We'll check

who it's registered to. I'm allowed to

drive it as if it's mine. Generous

bosses. Nothing wrong with that. What was

the quid pro quo? What? What? What did

you have to do in return? Nothing. Not

much. I'm driving over to Olson's yard

for a valet. How often? Once a week.

Regular. Well, couldn't you just clean it

yourself? I wasn't to touch it. That was

the deal.

Once a week? Isn't that a bit excessive?

Maybe. I wasn't going to argue, was I? I

get free use of the mint Mustang and I

don't even have to clean it. How choice

is it? And I want the piston trophy at

the beach on Kimberly and Tony were very

impressed. Yeah,

they were. Do you mind not

telling Kimberly she she doesn't need to

not snot my car, right?

Don't get out. Frodo appears to be a

pawn in a very strange game. He's not

up to this. I'm sorry. Just one question,

OK?

You had a stream of black cash. Huge.

Where did it come from?

Take a look at the unit on the hoist.

I've seen it.

Hey, John. Take

a real.

And go.

So you know, ephedrine precursor to PP.

That came in through the youth, the

Asian ones. We had it made.

How did you launder the money? All

Shirley had to do was go into the casino,

buy some chips, not beat them all, get a

good proportion care start and we'd be

having free with clean money. But Charlie

got a taste for the gaming tables and

couldn't stop. So you 2 put Sunny Smith

up to torch the garage for the fire

insurance. The mortgage

he would collect, Not me or Charlie. So

who's the mortgage? G Who's standing

behind those companies? Tourists

Incorporated, An Edsel Incorporated. Who

did you deliver the bags to? They went

back where they came from. Well, where

did they come from? How far back down the

line, please. I'm asking you to leave.

Kristen, Sonny's mobile is prepay,

predictably untraceable. I think we know

who's phone they'll turn out to be.

And photos. Mustang is registered to one

of those companies, it's Dell Inc.

It's owing owns the Mustang. Ohh, how did

I miss that? What? Taurus and Edsel, the

companies that hold the mortgage on

Baxter and Balance? It has to be forward,

Forward walk. Forward Who? Taurus and

Edsel are the model names of the least

successful Ford cars ever made. The

mystery shareholder has to be Olson

Siola, the biggest forward freak in town.

So. Chrono was the unwitting mule,

driving his precious Mustang back and

forth to Olson for a valet. If it

was ever stopped, Fredo would have to

take the four.

Nice one.

Mr. Zilla.

Workplace.

What's he doing?

I'll send you idiot. Pull over.

Can I help your officer? Yes, you can

accompany us down to the station. I must

admit it's a lovely evening. For a

cruise. But why would I want to do that?

To help us with our inquiries. Need help.

Do you? From you? Yes. And what have I

find it inconvenient. We could arrest you

if that would help.

Failure to stop, for starters. Were you

pursuing me? I thought, knowing you're

going to get all, oh, Jay Simpson about

it. I want to drill my white Bronco.

It's your choice, Olson.

Can I bring a friend? Miranda

Temple, my lawyer?

Please do. Charlie

Baxter had become a loose cannon who was

jeopardising your lucrative scheme. A

lucrative scheme? Awesome. Please, Miss

Temple cautioned her client to say

nothing. I certainly did not by gesture.

Burning the garage was a way to put

Charlie out of business and to cash up

at the same time by collecting the fire

insurance. Charlie got Sunny in the act

and killed him. Hence Plan B for ending

your partnership with Charlie. You knew

Charlie's plans to cut and Polish the

Eldorado and exactly how long that would

take, and you knew he'd then drove it

home. You parked the keyboard

where you knew Charlie would see it on

his way home.

You knew he'd pull over.

Coming.

As much as my client and I enjoy a good

story, we're still unaware of what

lucrative scheme you're referring to.

These were found in the last Ute that

your client imported. The one Keith

balance rendered unsellable due to carbon

monoxide toxicity. Keith dog your

clientele. Well, he would, wouldn't he?

Although my client is unaware of what he

and Charlie Vex were up to, clearly the

stress has taken a terrible psychological

toll on the man and he's trying to

deflect culpability. Keith will be ready

and able to testify, which is more than

can be said for Charlie Baxter.

What is that at?One psychologically

unstable witness who's clearly implicated

in some sort of drug importation and will

lie to save his own skin.

If that isn't detective, my client

and I will take our leave.

Damn business product.

Photo. As

in Bilbo Baggins's nephew Frodo, AKA

Frankie Oates, The Apprentice at back.

What does he have to do with my

client? He made deliveries directly to

your client weekly in the borrowed

Mustang, still registered in Olsen's

company's name. Frodo knows nothing else.

You're not required to speak.

Hobbits driving Mustangs until he can

give us something less fictional to go

on. Detective, we'll bid you goodnight.

Tried to tell you never trust a clown.

Murderer of a murderer. Should we even

care? And I hate to say it but

it seems you've dropped photo on it.

Poor Fredo, at the mercy of that crazy

clown and not likely to die laughing.

What do we do?

Brother, my friend.

I go out of my way to help you,

give you a Mustang to play with, and you

repay me by talking to the cops.

You were supposed to know about the PM

port side of the business, but as with

most things, Charlie and Keith Ruth.

Unfortunately, my friend, you're going to

have to pay for their mistakes

with another little accident, just as

Charlie had to.

These workplaces.

Life.

Quarter performance. Also drug imports,

Charlie's murder all on tape and

attempted murder on camera.

Oscilla, you're under arrest for the
