Thank you.

Morning, Mia.

Morning.

Kia ora, Lib.

Brenda.

So, Mia, the autopsy results are back, so I come right over and let you know.

As expected, Cassie suffered unsurvivable injuries, head trauma

a fall from height, so, yeah, official cause of death is an accident. Cassie

fell while hiking.

As expected.

Don't shoot the messenger, eh?

What would it have said in my post -mortem if I hadn't been so lucky and

out of that ecopod?

Would that have been another accident too? I'm still looking into the fire.

investigation is ongoing.

Are you? Because it looks like you're just standing here telling me nothing of

any use or interest.

Well, at least it's provided you with some closure.

Closure? This isn't closure.

This is system failure.

Should I have expected anything else from my experience?

No.

Where's my copy of the report?

Well, you can order one.

From the coroner's office. There might be a small fee to pay, I'm not sure. Or

you could just give it to me. No.

There's a process.

Immediate family can order a copy of the report from the coroner's office. You

know, in Scotland, medical professionals like myself can be given it now. No fee

to pay, no form to fill it. Well, you're not in Scotland, are you?

I want to see my sister's autopsy results for myself. And I have outlined

process.

Well, you know where to find me.

Sorry, Mia.

I don't want to... Just brings it right back, you know?

Wasn't Libby that came to see me?

She was still young.

Had never been to police college yet.

It was Sergeant Davies.

Was the same thing.

Same words.

Unsurvivable injuries, as expected.

Consistent with the jump.

Me being here, it must bring all of that back up for you. No, no. I can move on.

You shouldn't have to do that. I like having you here.

I've loved it, actually.

Can I show you something?

Yeah.

Couldn't bring myself to change a thing.

Long time to be in denial, eh?

Here, I want you to have something.

Oh, it's beautiful.

It was Edith, obviously.

Oh, that's very sweet and thoughtful, but I can't... No, I want you to take

Wear it for me, please.

Two things have been picked away for far too long.

By the time I had to clean out anyway, and I can put both rooms under your B

not just the sleep out.

Very practical.

Well, like I said, it's been nice having a young person in the house.

She was beautiful, my Heta.

Inside and out.

She was so happy that day, Mia.

She was queen of the festival.

Back when there was such a thing.

She didn't jump.

She would never have done that.

I know my Hera.

Mia Benton. Good evening, Mia. It's Jackie.

Over this morning over there, isn't it?

How are you holding up?

I know. I'm getting there.

Look, I'll cut straight to the point.

The family are dropping the inquiry into the Boyd Toulter incident.

Our legal team went in hard and I believe that they realised it was going

an expensive battle.

Oh, that's great news, Jackie. Thank you so much for your support.

Let's get lunch or something when you get back.

I would love to.

You take care of yourself, Mia.

Ah, good morning, Harry.

You're looking well today.

Anyway, I was just on my way to see your boyfriend.

Oh, don't worry. I don't really give a shit about who you sleep with.

Mum's the worst. Look, Teddy and I have been friends for a long time, so

whatever you think you saw... I love how you know who I was talking about when I

never said his name.

When even was this, huh?

At the White Babe Festival when you were so pissed you fell off the stage?

Relax, Harry.

I'm not here to blow your life apart.

You were... So far out of line. Maybe your secret would be so much safer if

Kathy just disappeared.

You've got issues.

Oh, you have no idea.

So where were you really when Kathy died?

I was working with Sadie.

Shall I ask her?

Don't you dare ask her questions. You'd leave her out of the... I have to,

Harry. Because you and Sadie have different stories, so one of you is

You're a joke.

Go home.

Has Libby made any progress?

It's pretty obvious to me.

Lib just doesn't want to do her job properly.

Don't be a dick.

He wouldn't deliberately try and kill someone.

Well, wake the fuck up, Natalie.

Of course she's capable.

If, of course, you're going to tell me you're the one that lit the fire.

That's the way to speak to the person who's keeping your project going.

Hey, I just lost my partner.

Yeah, cut me a bit of slack.

Sorry. You know, Nat, it'd just be nice to know you got my back.

I mean, you're one of the few people here I can actually count on at the

Yeah, of course.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Cassie and Teddy, do you know about it?

No.

I would have told you. You know that.

Doesn't even know if I'm allowed to grieve anymore, you know.

Ewan, I'm fine with you taking the limelight, but I won't be used.

You can draw from my knowledge, experience, but I need to know you're

committed. I can't leave this on my own with Cassie gone.

We need you back.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

And yeah, you're right, I have been dragging the chain a bit.

Hello?

In here?

Kim, thank you for letting me wear your very beautiful dress.

And I'm sorry for doing whatever I

did.

Going off to Josh and Ava in front of everyone or trashing my dress with puke?

going through withdrawals.

I still am, actually.

You're really off the drugs?

Yeah, I am.

I shouldn't have launched myself at your friends, either.

They're not my friends.

Does something happen?

After the festival, Josh and Ava wanted to go up the mountain.

Ava had nicked booze from her dad, and Josh had your stuff.

Anyway, we were just sitting around, and then I went for a wee in the bushes,

and I said that I would keep talking so that they knew that I was okay.

But then they weren't talking, and they'd gone.

Gone where?

Home.

They left me up there.

You thinking of that?

Josh, you thought he was like... He kept scaring me and saying that there were

things on the mountain in the mist.

So they left you up there when people are being... Kathy was murdered up

The grey man.

No, listen.

Those assholes are putting the fear in you.

Kathy was killed by a real person.

Not a ghost.

It's probably the same person that tried to set me on fire.

Which the one fucking cop in this town seems to have a very relaxed attitude

about.

I'm sorry.

Sadie.

Don't you care to help me with something?

You know anything about missing goats?

Eh? The Wilkins are on at me again.

I'm not saying it's you, but if there's anyone on your team that might have gone

a bit rogue, Louise reckons she's lost two in the past week.

Yeah, well, you know what that does prove to them? That it wasn't Cassie,

it?

I never suggested it was.

I don't know what those assholes have been saying about her.

Look, I just had to ask the question, OK? I have to be seen to be doing my

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Want coffee?

Yeah.

Louise swears the fire wasn't her or Teddy.

Yeah, of course she bloody does.

Maybe try a bit harder, eh? Okay, give me a break, you. I'm getting enough

from Cassie's sister.

Well, she's got it right, you know. The thing almost took her out.

Yeah, well, maybe it's the shock making her so... She's quite aggressive.

Bloody rude, actually.

I mean, I get that she's grieving, but honestly... Yeah, well, don't take it

personally, eh?

I mean, me, myself, sometimes I feel like I'm going to bloody explode.

Even had a bit of a go at Nat this morning.

You know, be careful, eh?

Something about Mia.

She's got an edge to her or something.

It'd be great if she went back to Scotland, actually. I'm not sure why

still hanging around.

You didn't say we had company.

G'day, Arnott.

Anyway, you sure you didn't see anything that night?

Yeah, I mean, I saw the smoke and the fire. That's why I booted it down there.

What's this about?

The fire down at the eco -village?

Oh dear.

It's fine, Mum. No one was hurt. I was the one who saw the smoke.

You were already there.

No, Mum.

He was.

I was looking for him to tell him, but he was already there.

Thanks for that info, Anna. It's very helpful.

I'm not a child, Elizabeth.

No, Mum, but you do get confused.

She's still the bastard of your philandering father.

I'm not confused about that.

Mum, it's a beautiful day outside. Why don't you go and do a bit of your yoga

the garden?

Be quick. She could be back any minute.

Cassie was interviewed about a stolen goat three weeks ago.

Yeah, Rory lost his goat.

Vandalised fencing statement taken, but nothing about her being pushed off a

cliff.

Mum says the mountain is dangerous.

Yeah, it is, if you're a woman connected to Teddy Wilson.

There are other ones through there.

Hedda Olsen's file might be in there.

They're locked.

People there.

Libby, Teddy, Harry.

Libby lost sight of Hedda, but she heard a scream.

Holy shit.

I am literally never going up there again, no matter what.

No one saw Hedda jump.

Torture port clean, not even alcohol.

Elevated HCG.

Shit. What does that mean?

Increased hormone level in the blood.

It means that just before Hera jumped or was pushed, she'd been pregnant.

But not when she was found?

No, because pregnant.

It's a note to her mum.

But the myth is always adamant that she didn't jump.

Maybe the police never showed that to her, but God knows why.

Jesus, not again.

Kara Olsen terminated her pregnancy right before she fell from that ridge.

How the hell would you know that?

Quick quiz on her police file.

Why?

Because her and my sister died in exactly the same way. And neither of

here to tell me what happened. So that's over to you, Teddy.

What was it?

You wanted to keep the baby and she didn't? She got rid of it, so you got

her? I can look you in the eye and swear I never knew anything about a baby.

Why wouldn't she tell you about it?

I don't know.

I thought we taught each other everything.

But we kind of grew apart.

Because? Because she loved me and I didn't love her back.

Not in the way she wanted me to.

Not in the way that you love Harry Grimes, now that you've found yourself.

What's the deal there, then?

Scared of your mum?

Homophobic, is she? I could see that.

Mum knows who I am. I just don't shout about it.

That's Harry.

You may have noticed he has a wife.

So why was Cathy shouting at you to come clean? It's got nothing to do with me

and Harry.

She knew about us, and she supported us. So what was the argument about then?

Rewilding. A few months ago, I jumped Waka.

I was working with Cassie, not sleeping with her.

Cassie thought it would be this massive coup if the farmers lost one of the owns

of the Rewilders.

And you didn't want to go public with that?

Have you met my mum?

That video, that was Cass and I washing the petrol off us after we'd just

torched a tractor.

So why didn't you just tell Ewan that when he's coming at you with a speed?

It's not like I could get a word in.

You know, Ewan told me that he ditched Hera, broke her heart.

Bullshit.

Ewan's main character energy is next level, eh?

He's either dreaming or he's rewritten history.

Good afternoon,

Annette.

Mia, Kathy's sister.

Yes.

It's you and home.

Anna, it's urgent.

Do you like them?

They're really creeping me out.

Hera, Kathy.

These are yours.

I work very hard on them.

Here's the third one for Annette.

Where did you get this?

Brenda Olsen, the Airbnb owner, gave it to me.

It's mine.

My husband bought it for me in London.

No, it was given to me by her.

Her and I were just having a chat.

This is Mia, remember?

Kathy Huth.

Everything okay?

I'm worried about you.

What?

There is something seriously wrong and disturbing about your mother's heart.

I'll leave her to it. Keeps her occupied.

You seemed a bit upset at the festival.

You try going cold turkey and see how you feel.

I honestly thought I was doing the right thing disposing of that stuff.

Oh, yeah.

Rather than just asking me what it was for.

What if it was for pain management or I'm recovering from surgery?

Well, you're not. You're an addict.

I'll get you a glass of water, eh?

I mean, honestly, I really thought what Kathy would have wanted me to do.

She often spoke of you two growing up, what you both went through.

You did a good job in raising her, Mia.

She was certainly one of a kind.

Yeah.

From hating a broken bread in a shoebox to...

Hiding a great big wolf in a country with no natural predators.

What other secrets do you have yet?

Hera Olsen, were you with her when she jumped?

No. What's this all about?

Trying to get my head around all the coincidences and...

The connection.

Oh, it's treacherous terrain. I mean, accidents happen up there.

There are mountains known to take people.

Who else?

I've taken two of your girlfriends.

Come on, you can hardly compare a girl I might have had a bit of a crush on at

high school with the woman that I was about to marry.

I'm just wondering where the stories are of other hikers that died on that

ridge. Are you taking anything at the moment, Mia?

Anything for the withdrawals.

Liv saw you this morning. She said you're still on edge.

It's okay. I get it.

It's been a crazy, crazy time.

Did you manage to sort out your work thing back at home?

I'm dropping the inquiry.

That's amazing.

I mean, that's good, right?

Yeah. It must have been a lot.

Especially with everything that's been happening here.

You know I'm on your side, right?

Yeah, I know.

Things are cleaner now.

It's okay.

I mean it.

We can't go there again.

Mia, there's nothing wrong with this. No.

I'm not okay with it.

We shouldn't have.

I wasn't in my right mind.

Neither were you.

She never wanted me, Mia. She was having an affair.

here by that night.

Hey. Ewan said that you were together once and that he dumped you the night

Cassie arrived.

Is it true?

When Cassie arrived and took his attention, I thanked God.

Why? Because he's a super controlling narcissist.

Why don't you just leave here?

Make a clean break from him.

It's always the same with these things. You get a movement going and you need

the brains, you need the worker bees.

You need a leader.

Someone with charisma just to front it.

That's something Ewan has.

What about Cassie?

Was she trying to walk away?

From Ewan or rewilding?

Either.

You know, Cassie, she's passionate beyond words for the wildlife.

They seemed happy enough. I... I don't know.

Are your steps in?

I don't go past the end of the driveway.

Aren't it?

This scarf.

It's beautiful. It's Christian Dior.

It was her at Alton's.

Remember I said?

Well, you must have given it to her.

Oh, maybe I said you could. I don't know. It's a long time ago.

You have it.

It was yours once.

Now it is again.

Oh, it's a lovely girl.

Drugs. Drugs. I was looking for drugs. Drugs.

Don't fucking move.

I was going to leave money. There was nobody home.

Of course you were, you little shit.

Now, what you did to Daisy Grimes the other night was highly inappropriate.

What? You heard me.

It was a joke. It was a joke. It was a joke.

It was a joke. It was a joke. It was a joke. Oh, my God.

What is that? Are you funny?

Have you heard her again?

I'll kill you.

Okay. Sorry.

Off you go.

I need you to stop talking about Hera, all right?

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

Who said that?

Mum, stop.

No more Hera.

Take that thing off from around your neck.

Please, take it off. Don't touch me.

You stay away from me. Mum, take it off.

I know that look.

I know.

Two of them.

There were two.

I'm sorry.

Two girls.

I'm sorry.

Dead. I'll get you a cup of tea.

Beautiful weather, huh?

Mum, no.

We all thought, what a tragedy.

You want a tea or something strong? I'll get you a whiskey. And you were so

cross with her.

What have you done, Ewan?

Nothing.

No. I'm not.

I know what I saw.

Please, come on. I know.

I know.

I'll go for a drink. I know.

Don't cry.

I know.

Please don't cry.

How could you?

Let's go for a walk, okay?

I'll go for a walk.

We could tell someone about what you've done.

We can tell Libby. He can help.

Yeah, Mum.

We'll tell Libby.

It's all right. Everything's going to be all right.

It smells terrible in here.

This way, Mum.

What are you doing in here?

It just doesn't make sense to me.

Two women fall off the same cliff.

Years apart, but dying in the same way.

Sorry if it looks like I'm snipping. I just thought if you ever find an answer.

It's been 18 years, Mia.

If the answer was sitting here in this room the whole time, I'd have found it.

You never read a note or a letter or anything?

No, no note.

He had a diary.

For a long time, I couldn't bring myself to read it.

Can't look as intruding.

But then one day, I took a look.

And?

Birthday list.

2007.

New Harry Potter book.

Final edition.

Cannot wait.

Sunken water Pluto CD.

Kiwi band.

She had a crush on the singer.

Or the drummer. One of them.

She was a good, happy girl.

Happy that she was pregnant.

It was a surprise.

But she talked to me.

We'd have made it work.

I'm really sorry.

Mum was buried under a tree.

He'd have miscarried before she parked.

May I?

Afterwards, he'd have wanted to go to Auckland, go to art school.

Was it Daddy's baby?

No.

They never went that far.

What about you, Anne?

Heta wouldn't tell me.

Anyway, maybe you'll find something I didn't.

Hello?

Right. I tried to deny it, but you were right.

The connection we have is... I couldn't stop thinking about it.

About you.

About your hands on me.

What's going

on?

Hey. Can I come in?

I don't know how to tell you this, mate.

What?

Your mum... Yeah, look, she's upstairs. Why?

She's not upstairs, Ewan.

Mum!

The forest she must have gone wandering and an animal got her maybe a boar maybe

a feral dog. I don't know Okay

Everything has changed right in front of my eyes. And when it's the same, it's

my turn to change.

I'll train it all to clear my mind.

Clear my mind of the rough times.

Everything around me feels like it's all blind.

And when they need my touch to change.

Thank you.
