Original subtitles

Apparently you're under suspension.

I was stitched up.

I would never tamper with evidence.

The only station in the whole of Australia that will inform you is one.

Max, before you go, glad to see it's not just me she walks out on.

Walks out on rooms, not weddings.

What, six years and you still haven't figured it out? You just left without

giving me a thought.

I wanted more.

Zach!

There you are.

Frankie, you could have told me.

La Belle Dauphine, this is Bianca.

I can squeeze you in tomorrow morning.

See you in eight weeks. Remember, emulsify.

You're going to look awesome. Tani's the best.

Donna, sweetheart, over here.

Oh, we're doing extensions today, Dave.

I do something fun for my anniversary.

So fun.

I can still surf.

Good morning, ladies.

I'm done, ladies. Good morning.

I basically can switch it off. It's great.

It's going to look so beautiful.

As long as it still looks like you. You know?

You won't. You'll look like you.

Oh!

Oh, sorry.

You made me jump.

Well, I have got another surprise for you.

We have booked a table at the house.

I'm just going to finish doing Daisy's hair.

Oh, thanks, girl.

Okay,

I need to make some calls.

Okay. Okay. Get ready, Daisy.

First things first, blow dry.

I forgot to say, the booking's at 12, so we're heading over in about an hour or

so. Yeah.

Almond oil.

And I would love to get that by tomorrow morning.

Wow, they look beautiful.

What, not too much?

For an anniversary?

No way.

Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?

All right, thank you. I will see you lot in 15 minutes or so. Okay, bye.

Bye, darling.

All right, Donna, let's do it.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

I guess she's made him sad.

Guys, we going?

Yeah, two seconds. I'm nearly done.

Hey, look at this.

What's that?

It sounds like red velvet.

Yeah, Bianca's favorite.

Ever since she started in a magazine when we were in year five.

Okay, we off?

Yeah. Where's Bianca?

Um, she's going to meet us there. Oh, good call. All right, let's go then.

Hello.

Hi,

mate.

Still no reply.

She probably just got caught up on the phone.

She won't be far off. Oh, no Bianca?

Did you want to order?

You know what?

I don't know why we bothered. She was never going to shut up. I know.

Sorry, Daisy.

Hey,

your hair looks bad.

Oh, thank you.

She probably just got caught up, you know? You know how hard she works. I

how hard she says she works.

What have we got?

Looks like strangulation.

Subfusion in the face with some modelling of the skin just here.

No liver mortis yet. No rigor mortis. The body's still at a normal

suggesting the death occurred sometime in the past couple of hours.

What with the ligature?

We don't have one.

Looks like there was a bit of a struggle, though. Which means it

quick. How long?

Hard to say exactly, but if she was struggling, at least a minute or two.

Maybe.

I'll get that.

Robbery? Nothing here to take.

Philom went cashless.

Eleven weeks ago.

Security cameras?

Unfortunately not.

Terrifying way to die.

Have you had a look round here?

Briefly. But I didn't touch anything.

There's no smoke detector in here.

Oh.

So?

Did you want me to refer them for a safety breach?

Or shall we talk to the staff?

So, I sort of organised this kind of, like, surprise lunch for Bianca for

her birthday.

Tani Jones Senior Stylist.

So I booked lunch for 12, and then when it came time to go, Bianca got stuck on

the phone.

So we left.

Did you lock the door?

No. No, because Bianca was here.

And you left together?

Yeah, yeah. So we were out here, and we were looking at the cake that I got,

which was red velvet, and Guy was... Guy Bailey.

Yeah, I'm her sister. I'm Bianca's sister, and so I was in the washroom.

And then I came here, and then the three of us, we left. We left at the same

time. So that must make you Donna Smithick, the apprentice.

Can you talk us through exactly what happened? When did you come back?

It was about one, so that's when we found her.

My best friend since you two.

Really? Yeah.

We both wore tiaras on our first day at Aries Inlet and we've been best friends

ever since.

Down in Victoria?

Yeah. We moved up here when Bianca Sky and Bianca's mum passed away and

she set up the salon.

Where's the smoke detector?

What? In the massage room, there's no smoke detector.

Um, is that... Sorry, are we in trouble?

We're investigating everything at this stage.

So, who first spotted the accident? So, I searched the perimeter of the

building. We?

You're guarding the door the whole time. Go on.

So, no signs of disturbance, nothing that suggests a robbery.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, well, you two, canvass the neighbours, see if anyone saw anything

midday and one.

Consider them canvassed.

Door unlocked.

All the staff at lunch.

Anyone could have walked in off the street.

Look at this.

Bianca had back -to -back appointments, treatments, meetings with suppliers,

evening training for new products.

She didn't do anything else.

So... So this place was her entire life.

It filled every minute of her day.

Did Donna go through here?

Yeah.

This is an active crime scene. You can't just walk away.

I just...

Needed a moment.

What were you inside for?

It's a prison tattoo, isn't it?

Armed robbery.

I did nine years.

It must have been hard to get a job.

Well, I came here for a fresh start, but people weren't exactly keen to hire a

crim, so Bianca took a chance on me.

That was good of her.

She was all right.

As long as you didn't get in her way.

Did you get in her way? If there's one thing you learn inside, it's how to keep

your head down.

This is a murder investigation.

You're a witness, Donna.

So, who did get in her way?

The landlord.

She hated him.

And saw him.

I thought she was going to take his head off.

When was this?

Last week.

They were out in the garden, screaming at each other as usual.

About what?

I don't know.

He drops around all the time.

Hey, Mac.

That's all for now, Donna.

Just before you... Anything?

Not yet. I've sent the body for an autopsy.

It was something else, actually. I wanted to see if you'd be keen to look

Frankie this weekend.

Oh. You don't have to. Mum said she would if she had to, but you know how

feels about dogs.

No, I'd love to.

Great. I'm away for a couple of days camping.

Yeah, just going. Daisy can talk to us.

Yeah, well, just, you know, drop her over whenever.

They didn't leave.

None of them. Well, maybe to use the bathroom, but what's that, like two

minutes?

It's ten minutes at least to the salon.

Did anyone stop at their table?

Just me.

But it was busy, so I can't be 100 % sure.

That must be devastated.

Or the anchor.

I hope this doesn't put a damper on your anniversary weekend.

It's your anniversary.

Five years.

And you're going camping.

It's glamping.

Yeah, it's fancy.

Hence the... You're taking care of Frankie, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks for your help.

Okay.

What a dream, eh?

Couple of nights at the National Park.

Under the stars.

With the mosquitoes.

Spiders.

Snakes.

Wombat will take a good chunk out of your leg if you let it.

Not my idea of fun.

So, seems the Salon Girls were all definitely at lunch.

Maybe it was from off the street.

Yeah, possible, sure, but random murders, they don't happen very often,

People are killed by those closest to them.

You think the staff?

They were alibis.

At lunch together, in full view.

So, if the killer was at that table, how did they do it?

Tani Jones, victim's best friend since kindergarten.

Reminds me of my best friend.

Glenn?

My old best friend.

Known him since nursery.

We bonded over eating glue.

That explains a lot.

Skye, the sister.

Donna has a record.

Robbery, like she said.

Nine years, model prisoner, paroled.

First job was apprentice to Bianca. Very altruistic of her to hire an ex -crim.

Hmm. Especially an upmarket salon with a very strong image.

Who inherits?

No will.

Parents dead. So in theory, the sister, Skye. And no witnesses saw anyone coming

or going?

Felix and Reggie are door -knocking.

But the door, it was unlocked.

So it doesn't have to be one of these three girls.

Hmm.

No, Bianca was working 24 -7 to keep that place going.

She had no social life, no hobbies.

The only people in her life, those three employees.

None of them were anywhere near the salon at the time of the murder.

So what sort of employer was she?

Well, they were throwing her a surprise party.

Hardly the kind of thing you do if you don't like your boss.

Unless you're sucking up.

I mean, we have all fantasized about killing our boss.

Oi.

No, we can't rule out the people closest to Bianca.

They might hold the answer.

Well, if they don't, it might be the guy she owes 60 grand to.

Bianca's landlord.

According to these texts, she was behind on her rent.

A long way behind.

Donald saw them arguing last week. What's his name?

Troy Lexton.

Right. Find out where he is and what he's doing. And Mackenzie, just before

go, can we have a word? Mm -hmm.

Get this out of the way.

HR is sending a contract for you.

Why? Because they're sick of paying your casual rates. They want to put you on

permanent. And no one in the entire police force has ever stopped them

what they want.

But I'm only here temporarily.

Yeah, but what if you're not?

There's no guarantee that you're going to be cleared.

I have to be.

I didn't do anything wrong.

And no one whose innocence has ever been found guilty before?

This is different.

We had him and the key evidence disappeared.

How?

Someone on the inside.

That's my theory. Oh, really?

Is there anything that makes sense, Sarah?

Be that as it may, you either work here or you don't.

HR, they want an answer in the next couple of days. You understand?

Yeah?

Mackenzie, I found Corey Lexington.

Yes, I said I'd fix the ceiling fan.

Troy Lexon?

No, stop calling me or I'll have to put you out on the street, okay?

Ah, yeah, look, I was joking about evicting her. I wouldn't do that.

We want to talk to you about the murder of Bianca Bailey.

What? When?

At her salon around lunchtime today.

Gee, that's awful.

She owed you money.

She was 60 grand behind on the rent.

No, she paid me.

When? Well, not all of it. She gave me 42K in cash and said she'd get the rest

soon.

Not going to get it now, am I?

Where did she get the money?

No idea.

My old man always used to say, whenever anyone offers you money, you take it. No

questions.

You don't think I had anything to do with it, do you? Where were you between

noon and 1pm today?

Well, I was nowhere near the place.

I was inspecting a building in the industrial park on Southie Road.

Did, uh... Did anyone see you?

No, but... Hey, hang on a sec.

Ah.

Charging for parking in a coastal town.

Profiteering at its worth.

Look, the anchor could be a pain, but it's always sad to lose a tenant.

If that one's one dies,

Right. Yeah.

All right, mate.

Not far away. Why isn't there a smoke detector in the math lab room?

Well, there is.

Look, no idea how that happened. I will get on to replacing that as soon as I

can in my properties.

Safety comes first.

Mackenzie.

She was definitely strangled, as we suspected.

I found symptomatic petechiae, broken capillaries and oedema, and a broken

bone. What was the ligature?

Good question. It definitely wasn't a hair -dry cord.

How do you know?

The ligature marks.

If it was a cord or rope, they'd be darker, narrower, more focused.

But these are fainter than usual and a bit more spread out.

So what?

A belt? A scarf?

Maybe. I'm not willing to rule that out at this stage or in.

I still need a bit more information there.

Is that it?

For now, yeah.

I'll keep going.

When are you two heading off?

Oh, yeah.

You and Daisy.

That's why I'm looking after Frankie, isn't it? For your anniversary.

We chatted to her. She's pumped for it. She's got her hair done.

It'll be fun.

Camping, it's just the best.

I've actually got quite a bit to do here.

I'll let you know if I find anything else Cheers

So Skye's background check had her living in Aries Inlet until she left at

and moved around all over the place, which made me wonder if something had

happened, which led me to the local newspapers, which led me to... To her?

Mm -hmm. Hi, Skye.

Hi.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah, I mean, anything I can do to help.

So, Shane, tell us about being a teenage arsonist.

How is... How is that relevant? That was a long time ago.

What I don't understand is why your little accomplice was convicted and you

weren't.

Do we really have to do this now?

Your sister's dead, Skye.

Well, um, okay.

Look, my mum pulled some strings.

I don't know what else to say.

Well, that was lucky for you. It wasn't lucky for me.

Because then she chucked me out.

At 16?

Yes. Bianca and I were raised in a very strict religious household, and I

brought shame on the family, so she made my charge disappear, and in return, I

had to go.

Did Bianca contact you at all?

Mum had a real hold over her.

What happened then?

I went off the rails, didn't I? My own mother completely cut me off.

What changed?

Mum died.

I know that sounds really bad, but it freed me.

Like, I just felt like she couldn't judge me anymore, and I reconnected with

Bianca, and just everything changed.

You know, she'd set up the salon.

She gave me a job. It was just, it was a new start.

And now you inherit it all.

Excuse me?

Well, she doesn't have a will, Skye. It's all yours.

I was at a lunch, and I came back.

And my sister was dead on the floor.

Okay? So I could inherit a hundred salons, and it will never make up for

fact that I will never see her again.

Kicked her up home at 16.

She looks so fresh -faced in that photo.

Hair looks a lot lighter.

So, the salon was behind on rent, yet Bianca finds 42 grand to pay most of it

off. Where from? I'm going to head back there, get into the books, see if I can

find the answer.

This guy's got an unhappy history with her sister, but looks like they were

repairing it.

Tani was supposedly Bianca's best friend, so there could be something

She was at lunch anyway.

And, well, Troy Lexton, he's a real piece of work, but he was nowhere near

place.

Oh, what was going on in that salon?

Hey, tools down, folks.

We have cracked it.

Wade Thornburn from Thornburn Quality Meats from across the road from the

Now, he shut his shop early yesterday because the Trevally were biting, but we

got him this morning. Yeah, he said someone walked in there around about 12

12 .55. Who?

He said he didn't know him, but he said he was an Asian bloke with polyester

slacks and brown shoes.

Troy Lexton. Yeah, but he's alibied. No, his car is alibied.

How long was he in there for?

Oh, Wade told us.

He cubed the shoulder of lamp of Mithra's merit and rang it up.

Wrapped it.

Wrapped it up.

And then Troy came out.

How long were we talking?

Two to three minutes. Yeah, yeah.

Long enough.

Can you get off the lawn? I just mowed it.

What are you doing?

What side of the road did you park on, Troy?

What? At the industrial estate yesterday.

They marked the bay numbers on the ticket, but we won't test you on that.

So just tell us, was it the east side of the road or west?

Yeah, I'm not really good with directions.

East is the beach, west is the escarpment.

Uh, east?

Oh. Oh, Troy.

So close.

You weren't in the car, were you?

Troy. Oh, Dad, just go inside.

Go make lunch.

Look, you, uh... You can't prove that.

We spoke to Kirsten.

Kirsten at your office.

Kirsten who borrowed the car to do the inspection.

Yeah, look, I, um... I was... Oh, and a witness saw you going into La Belle

Dauphine at 12 .55.

PM. What? That's crazy. I was nowhere near the place.

Asian bloke in polyester slacks.

They're wool.

Brown shoes.

Well, they're actually more caramel.

Sweating like you wouldn't believe.

Okay, okay. I did go to the salon.

Why?

The rent.

I wanted the rest of it.

I went there to talk to her about figuring out a fair payment plan, but...

When I got there, I found her dead.

So I just bowled her as quick as I could.

I didn't kill her.

I mean, why would I?

I'd never get my money.

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to make things worse for myself. I just, you know, I

panicked.

Come on, let's go back to the salon, turn it over, knowing what we know.

You just get away from the door!

Go in!

Felix,

can we keep an eye on Troy Lipton?

Yeah, well, he might not have motive to kill Bianca, but he lied about finding

the body, so something else is going on.

Yep.

Thick waves this morning.

Were they?

No better way to start the day.

Being in the water, sun shining.

The other morning, I literally saw dolphins.

Oh, in Dolphin Cove?

Well, I never.

Just saying.

When I was a kid, if you'd have told me one day I'd be surfing with dolphins...

Don't you ever find it boring?

No way.

They jump out of the water.

I was talking about the weather.

I miss the grey skies.

Rain, bit of wind. The kind of weather that inspires great literature.

Only because there's nothing better to do.

Guarantee you. If Charlotte Bronte owned a surfboard, whether in hikes would

never have happened.

That was Emily Bronte.

You're making my argument for me.

This is interesting.

Fanny has a brochure for a nursing home in Victoria.

Must be for a relative.

And an unpaid invoice from them.

For 42 grand.

I appreciate you meeting me here, Tani.

Of course.

Tell me about your grandma.

What? She was meant to be moving into heritage health supported care, but the

deposit was never paid and she lost her place.

$42 ,000.

What happened?

We decided that it wasn't the right fit for her.

Or did you give the money to Bianca for the rent?

I thought that I was buying into the business.

Didn't you know the financial state of the salon?

Bianca told me the salon was thriving, that we could run it together.

Best friends forever.

She said that I'd make enough money to move my nan up here.

Somewhere warmer.

So she lied to you? She didn't mean it. She thought that the salon could get

over this hump and that everything would be okay. And it would have been.

Bianca could make anything happen.

Her mum left her a bit of money and she built La Belle Dauphine with her hard

work and determination.

I was...

Lucky to be her best friend.

How did you find out the truth?

I saw her give the money to Troy.

What did you do?

I confronted her about it.

She didn't deny it.

When was this?

Three days ago.

You must have felt very betrayed.

Honestly?

No.

I wish she told me about it, but I knew that we could get through it.

We always have.

I knew that we'd be okay.

That's all for now. Thanks.

I'll be in touch.

Colin, what have you got? I'm at the salon.

You need to get down here.

My opinion. Which I didn't ask for.

You'd think with all the properties he owns he could afford a better car.

I mean, have a look at the bomb.

Oh, that's nice.

Where'd you get that?

From the salon.

Did you nick it?

Oh, it's a free sample.

From a crime scene.

That's wrong.

Oh, well, there's wrong and then there's wrong, isn't there?

And they're both wrong.

What's he up to?

Oh, don't tell me he's going to use that reject stuff for his rentals.

It's not illegal.

Yeah, but it's still dodgy. That's a hanging offence in my book.

Yeah? And how's your moisturiser going there?

Oh, do you still go on about that?

Oh, when you were our teacher in school, you went on about honesty.

Yeah. It wasn't there's wrong and there's wrong.

You told us to do the right thing no matter what it cost you.

Yeah, well, I didn't have to worry about it with you, Mr Perfect Behaviour.

A bit of wheel breaking would have done you good.

Didn't always behave perfectly.

Oh, I think I'd remember.

You were a beautiful boy. You always got my special pen, the top work one with

the rainbow ink. I haven't thought about that in years.

Don't know where it got to.

Oh, what's he got now?

Oh, mate, don't do it. Oh, I bet your coffee does.

Oh, seriously.

Oh, yeah, you still defending him?

Build the gallows. That's the way.

When I went through Bianca's payroll records, I found some discrepancies.

Why did Bianca stop paying you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Last weekly paycheck was the 4th of September.

For the last 11 weeks, not a cracker.

I'm an apprentice.

You don't get paid much. It's about the experience.

So 11 weeks ago, the salon goes cashless.

A week later, your pay stops.

My guess, she caught you with your hand in the till.

It was once.

Twenty bucks for everyone's coffees, which I had to get and pay for out of my

own pocket every day.

Right, so what was the play? You work for free and in return she doesn't tell

anybody? Well, she knew that if my parole officer found out that... Back

But why didn't you just quit?

Are you serious?

I'm a woman in her 50s, fresh out of prison.

I'm not what you call an easy hire.

And she knew it.

Taking all the credit for giving me a second chance. Yeah, you must have hated

her for it. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I did.

But I didn't kill her.

OK, so here's our state of play.

We've got Tani, we've got Skye, we've got Donna.

They've all got motives?

Mm -hmm.

Bianca took the 42 grand that Tani had earmarked to put her grandma in a

home and spent it on back rent.

I'd be fuming. Yeah, well, she says she's not angry, but come on. All right,

we've got Skye. She inherits, but Salon wasn't worth anything.

She had no way of knowing that. For all she knew, it was a gold mine.

And Donna was being blackmailed into working for free.

Hmm. Criminal background, desperate situation.

Okay, so you've got motive, motive, motive, but...

No opportunity.

Yeah, and then we've got sweaty Troy Lexton with an opportunity but no

Doesn't make sense.

Let's not forget the missing smoke detector.

Yeah. Okay. Well, a woman dedicated to every single aspect of her salon doesn't

have... Wait.

Are you making fun of me?

A little bit, yeah.

You're right.

Yeah.

Troy Lexton's dirt bag.

What's he up to now?

Oh, where did he start?

I mean, he threw his chip packet out the car window and was leering at a couple

of girls crossing the road.

Yeah, and he illegally dumped bags of domestic rubbish into a skip and pinched

some old reject building supplies, which he then used to replace a tenant's

windowsill.

Check's out.

I'm all for upcycling like we are a disposable culture.

You break something, toss it out, move on. But this man...

was peeking through hard waste like he was in a lolly shop. Reggie.

Hmm.

What sort of rubbish?

It was disgusting.

He grabbed a toilet seat and he also grabbed this. No, no, no, no, no.

What was Troy throwing away?

Oh, I don't know.

Didn't you look?

In the skip.

Yeah.

No. What?

First thing tomorrow morning.

Is this where you pictured your day going?

Bagged over in some worse places.

What are we looking for?

Exactly my question. As Detective Senior Constable Cartwright has helpfully

reminded us, there was a smoke detector in the washroom, but not in the massage

room. Oh, this smoke detector.

It had to go somewhere.

Maybe it was never there in the first place.

You know me.

Oh, I'm just a volunteer.

You wanted more work to do?

There's a whole lot of table in here.

Who would throw that out?

It's like $18.

Oh, no, maggots.

Maggots. Hey, I don't think it's that bad. It just reminds me of playground

duty, picking up rubbish.

Happy anniversary, by the way.

Tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah.

Five years.

Yep. You walked out on me, Mac.

Remember?

What did you want me to do? Go live in a cave? Join the priesthood?

You never called me.

Of course I was going to move on. And yes, I waited a year. And it was a

average year as well, if I'm honest.

And then things happen with Daisy, and I'm glad they did. I know you are. She

amazing. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. I know she is. So I

didn't tell you that I was going away the exact minute I saw you, so what? We

can be. I don't have to tell you everything. I know. Aaron, you're

into me for it. I'm not getting stuck in. Yes, you are.

You can at least admit that.

Excuse me.

I don't believe it.

Why would a landlord as tight as Troy Nexton rip out a smoke detector and

it away?

Because of this.

Is that a... A camera.

Oh, it's a dead perv.

No, that's not mine.

We saw you throw it in the skip.

No, that was a different one.

You know what? This is harassment.

I'm actually the victim here.

Sorry, what?

Okay, so what if the salon closes?

Nobody's going to want to rent a place where someone's been murdered.

And that's when income stream just vanished.

So we're working on retrieving that footage.

Before we watch it, anything you'd like to tell us?

No. Okay. You lied about being in the salon. You found her body, but you

tell us.

Bianca! So fine, yeah, you're a liar. But you didn't have a motive to kill

Exactly. And then we find out you're illegally filming women in the massage

room.

Let Bianca find out.

No. She had no idea.

Look, I went there to talk to her about the rent.

And after I found the anchor, I panicked and took the smoke detector out.

And threw it in the skip.

Yes.

I mean, she... She was murdered.

I don't want anyone thinking I'm dodgy.

So we're looking at any movement at the time of death, anything that can help us

figure out what happened.

The time window's between 12 and 1.

OK. So, nothing happened in this room between 11 .59 and when Troy ripped the

smoke detector out at 12 .56.

Let's go back.

Sorry, it's a bit glitchy. Troy must have... Damage something when you throw

out. Stop, stop, stop. Stop it, stop it.

There's the wireless speaker.

Well, this was before the girls left for lunch.

Okay, go forward again.

There was a speaker on the shelf and then there wasn't. What happened?

Well, that part of the footage is wrecked. I can't get to it.

So, someone moved the speaker.

Who and...

Why?

Ah.

Oh, my.

I didn't mean it.

Speaker.

Tunic.

Killer and the victim.

We thought Troy was the only one who had opportunity.

Right. Because the girls were at lunch.

Right.

Bianca was still alive when they went for lunch.

Exactly.

I'm sorry, I'm a... I'm a bit lost.

Get everyone to the salon.

Including Daisy.

Reggie, come with me.

Anything?

No.

Why are we here?

We're just waiting for D .I. Clarke. Sorry, Detective Sergeant Clarke. Do you

know where... Um,

Detective Sergeant Clarke?

Donna, can you join me in the washroom?

Oh, would you mind?

Weren't you just in there?

Was I?

Take a seat.

Was I in the washroom or wasn't I in the washroom?

That is what this whole case hinged on.

Three of Bianca's employees, all with motive.

Tani, she did you out of 42 grand.

Skye, you thought you'd inherit everything.

Well, not much.

And Donna, well, she blackmailed you into forced labour.

But how could any of you have done it?

You were all at lunch together when Bianca was being murdered.

Leaving Troy Lexton as the only person with the opportunity to kill her.

But we thought, no motive.

Apart from being a perv.

Oh, yeah.

Until we learned he'd hidden a camera in the massage room.

Told you.

But it wasn't Troy.

Well, how do you know that he didn't kill Bianca to just cover the whole

up? Because of your perfume.

What?

When you... left for lunch at 12, Bianca was alive.

When you came back at 1, she was dead.

Yeah. Well, that's what you wanted her to think.

Didn't you?

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure.

You killed her.

While Donna was watching Tani preparing Daisy's hair, you were strangling Bianca

in the office.

We saw her alive.

When we left. After that, we saw her. Yeah. Oh, did you?

She was on the phone.

Yanka. Lunch.

And that was the intention. But it was you on the phone, Skye.

With your hair out. Hair that isn't naturally brown.

But with a little bit of colour in it.

Wearing Bianca's spare yellow tunic, the family resemblance was enough to

convince just for a moment that you were Bianca, because at that moment, Bianca

was already dead.

But by establishing her as alive, you created a false window for her murder.

would I kill my own sister?

Well, look around you. This isn't worth anything.

No, no, no, no, no. It's what it represents.

Bianca, the golden child who inherited enough money from your mum to open a

salon while you, you got nothing.

You were kicked out of home at 16, disgraced.

Her whole life was taken from you.

But she was in the washroom. I heard her. Did you? Or did you hear her voice?

Guys, we going?

Yeah, two seconds. I'm nearly done.

That is why the speaker moved from the massage room where it lived to the

washroom sky.

But Tani saw her in there. Yeah.

Tani.

Oh, Tani.

Tani, whose best friend took 42 grand, money meant to make her a partner in the

salon, and spent it on what rent for a failing business.

This guy alone, she couldn't pull it off.

I mean, she could do the killing.

She could impersonate Bianca, but she needed you, Tani, to sell it.

To make sure Donna saw Bianca alive.

Yeah, two seconds, I'm nearly done.

And then, to distract Donna, while Skye quickly took off the yellow tunic,

leaving her perfume on it.

Quickly ducked out of the office, into the washroom, and then emerged as if

she had been in there all along.

While Donna and Tani were admiring the cake.

Red velvet.

Okay, are we off?

Wait, where's Bianca? Then you both went off to lunch with Donna, leaving Bianca

alive, hoping we'd assume it was just a random attack.

Whoa, should I be here?

Yeah, no, it's fine.

Please, sit down, Daisy.

Colin called me.

Something we couldn't figure out.

The ligature.

It was something strong, obviously.

But the marks on Bianca's neck, they didn't look like anything caused by a

or a cord.

The ligature, it somehow spread out the force across Bianca's neck.

It was nothing we'd ever seen before.

But definitely something you'd find in a salon.

Oh.

Excuse me.

And what better weapon than one that just walks out the door?

Your hair looks bad.

Oh, thank you.

Guy Bailey.

Tiny China.

You're both under arrest for the murder of Bianca Bailey.

I must inform you that you do not have to say or do anything. Anything you say

or do will be used in evidence.

Hair extensions is a murder weapon.

It's making me glad I get Madge to do my hair.

Borrowed Daisy, though. Yes, yes.

She did seem a bit shaken up.

Well, good work, everyone.

My top work pen.

You.

Me. Why?

Aaron dared me to nick it off your desk when you weren't looking.

Oh, God, he was a nasty piece of work, that kid.

I'm sorry.

And you kept it for all these years.

Since year seven.

I plan to give it back, I promise, but I just never got the chance.

I finished high school and now we're here, you know, doing the right thing,

eventually. It still counts.

Thanks, Miss Rocker.

Hey, Felix.

Yeah?

Might make a decent copper out of you yet.

I already am a decent copper.

Oh, yeah.

Hey,

Madge. Yeah, it's getting pretty scruffy.

Yeah, can I put myself in for a trim?

Yeah? Can you just give us... Just a minute.

About the contract. Ah.

All sorted.

What? Well, I explained the situation to HR and I bought you some more time.

I thought you said they were inflexible. Yes.

Yes, it was a fairly enraging conversation, but we got there in the

So you don't want me here permanently?

Can I call you back?

Okay.

It doesn't matter what I want.

The only thing that matters is what you want.

We've all seen what happens when you get pushed into a decision you don't like.

Dogs get abandoned.

My precious son gets left at the altar.

You made your point.

Yeah, but look...

Whatever happens with this inquiry in London, I do want you to know that I can

use you here at Dolphin Cove, but only if you want to stay.

Well... Look.

I got held up. Oh, it's fine. We're early.

Hi, Daisy.

Sorry about the murder weapon on my head.

Yeah, it was a bit of a mood killer.

I maybe should have warned you in advance.

You think?

Look, I know you see murder every day, but it freaks normal people out.

Understood.

Okay.

Good.

Well, you guys swap Frankie out. I'll wait in the car.

If you don't want to come over Sunday night, it's fine. She can stay.

She doesn't need all that stuff.

She was fine last time.

I've brought her down.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers.

Don't stress.

Those will be okay.

It's... About you.

I am sorry for what I did to you.

Back.

No.

Please let me talk.

Um... It was awful.

And cruel.

And it wasn't fair on you.

Yeah, it, um...

It wasn't ideal.

I put you through a horrible time, and it wasn't right.

And I never said I'm sorry, so I am saying it now, so we can draw a line

underneath it, and then I can go home with a clear conscience.

The inquiry will clear me.

That'll be it.

Yeah, well...

Whenever that happened, you're in the clear with me.

Get on it, Glenny!

I feel better.

Watch out for Wamba.

You know, it's actually very unusual for them to attack.

I've heard it. I've still got the scar.

See ya.

You good, Frankie?

Yeah. You're the only one I'd stay here for, Frankie.

Oh,

it's beautiful, isn't it?
