1
00:00:02,239 --> 00:00:03,877
Come on. We're missing the reading.

2
00:00:03,902 --> 00:00:05,348
Well, you really should
have put these in a tin.

3
00:00:05,373 --> 00:00:07,643
It's bring a plate.
Book club rules, apparently.

4
00:00:07,668 --> 00:00:09,611
This is so your first time, right?

5
00:00:09,636 --> 00:00:11,254
Oh God, just give it here.

6
00:00:11,603 --> 00:00:13,014
Oh sh-!
(PLATE CLATTERS)

7
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,758
And that's why.
Oh my God.

8
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:18,680
Three-second rule?
Yes! Quick.

9
00:00:19,187 --> 00:00:21,740
OK. No sausage roll
shall be left behind.

10
00:00:22,498 --> 00:00:25,232
(GROANS) I hope they
have more sauce inside.

11
00:00:26,454 --> 00:00:27,087
Oh. Sony.

12
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:36,519
This is the guy? Mm.. It doesn't
really do him any justice.

13
00:00:36,643 --> 00:00:40,004
Man, you've got it bad, eh?
I just really like his books.

14
00:00:40,029 --> 00:00:42,944
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, all right.
Come on. His books.

15
00:00:43,227 --> 00:00:44,212
Has he started?

16
00:00:44,926 --> 00:00:48,414
Um, we only just got here.
My sausage rolls took forever.

17
00:00:49,472 --> 00:00:50,986
Glad we're not the only late ones.

18
00:00:51,011 --> 00:00:51,925
I'm not late.

19
00:00:53,089 --> 00:00:54,924
The reading started
over half an hour ago.

20
00:00:54,949 --> 00:00:58,286
I don't want to hear him read.
I just want to see him.

21
00:00:58,314 --> 00:00:59,783
You've got the hots
for this guy too?

22
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:01,658
Hots? No. A bone to pick, yes.

23
00:01:03,828 --> 00:01:06,130
What sort of a bone?
We should go in.

24
00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:08,103
Yeah. The major hots.

25
00:01:09,737 --> 00:01:11,416
I hope he's signing books.

26
00:01:14,605 --> 00:01:16,525
(SIGHS) Damn. We've missed it.

27
00:01:17,124 --> 00:01:20,089
Only a wonderful first half.
It's supper break.

28
00:01:21,343 --> 00:01:21,976
Oh, good.

29
00:01:23,561 --> 00:01:25,213
These just wouldn't crisp.

30
00:01:25,238 --> 00:01:27,017
Did you use an egg wash?
No.

31
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:29,374
Oh, absolutely essential.
Oh.

32
00:01:30,352 --> 00:01:34,397
I might heat these up a bit. They
get really claggy when they're cold.

33
00:01:34,422 --> 00:01:37,156
Great cheese rolls, Mrs M.
Thank you, Jared.

34
00:01:37,313 --> 00:01:40,339
They're always a popular item.
Great kai indeed.

35
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:44,376
How was the reading?

36
00:01:45,685 --> 00:01:47,354
He was hamming it up a bit.

37
00:01:47,922 --> 00:01:49,068
Oh. Are you a fan?

38
00:01:50,307 --> 00:01:52,337
Excuse me. I might just go and...

39
00:01:52,835 --> 00:01:54,273
hunt down a cup of tea.

40

Oops! (CHUCKLES) Taxi.

41
00:02:00,876 --> 00:02:02,658
Are you insinuating something?

42
00:02:02,684 --> 00:02:04,071
It was a joke, Maxine.

43
00:02:04,852 --> 00:02:06,580
I don't see the funny side.

44
00:02:06,666 --> 00:02:08,224
Maybe it'll come to you.

45
00:02:09,751 --> 00:02:13,329
Well, if you don't get it the
first time, how funny is it?

46
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,193
Ooh! You made those?
My mother's recipe.

47
00:02:17,682 --> 00:02:19,300
I might like to note that.

48
00:02:21,788 --> 00:02:24,622
Mmm! They're very good.
I can vouch for that.

49

Hey, um, I'm gonna shoot through.

50
00:02:28,048 --> 00:02:30,081
Oh, no, he's reading
again after supper.

51
00:02:30,106 --> 00:02:32,018
I'm good. I reckon
he's a bit over-rated.

time and I was thinking...

Uh, yeah. Take off while you can.
Love your work.

73

Why is he allowed to leave?

74
00:03:52,441 --> 00:03:56,089
Because he was with me the whole
time and he's not a suspect.

Stabbed in the back.

95

Someone's sending a message here -

96
00:04:49,813 --> 00:04:50,983
betrayal? Revenge.

Knife In The Back - this is
the title of his latest book,

99
00:05:05,591 --> 00:05:07,332
and this is how the victim dies.

100
00:05:07,357 --> 00:05:09,507
Someone's recreating it?
Exactly.

101
00:05:10,126 --> 00:05:14,372
So who done it in the whodunit? I mean, that
is not a line of enquiry you should follow.

102
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:15,667
The book is fiction.

Nonetheless... A deranged
pathologist commits the murder.

Ah.

105
00:05:22,508 --> 00:05:26,226
She is cold, clinical. In my view,
an unconvincing character.

I'm sorry. (SNIFFLES)

109

We only met five days ago,

110
00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:43,275
but we connected before that.

111
00:05:43,546 --> 00:05:46,195
I reached out to him
about doing a reading.

112
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:47,740
I was lucky to get him -

113
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:51,244
superstars like Jack
do international festivals.

114
00:05:51,315 --> 00:05:54,204
They don't do small-town
bookshops like this.

115
00:05:54,951 --> 00:05:57,760
But he did for you?
I made it worth his while.

116
00:06:00,454 --> 00:06:03,863
You offered him a fee?
Of course. I paid for everything.

117
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:06,947
Airfares, accommodation...

118
00:06:07,931 --> 00:06:10,995
That must have come tom?
Oh, money wasn't the issue.

119
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:12,060
I divorced well.

120
00:06:13,328 --> 00:06:15,467
I can afford to indulge my passion,

121
00:06:15,768 --> 00:06:19,067
which is books, and the
amazing people who write them.

122
00:06:19,966 --> 00:06:21,856

really wanted him.

00:06:32,886 --> 00:06:33,335
I did.

And instead you found...
I still can't quite believe it.

at all before tonight?

else for the last few weeks.

For all we know, it could contain a vital
clue to the killer's identity! Mm.

Yes.

And did he?
Mm. Fortunately, yes.

this guy, did you?

Oh, did she not mention it?

what does a famous author
keep in his bag, is...

keen on something in there.

expecting a busy night.

Mm-hm. She believes it was
on a side table upstairs.

We've got several suspects

either the killer was
taller than this man

298

or he had already started to descend
the stairs when he was struck.

Both are possible.

00:16:45,154 --> 00:16:46,764
and a weapon is to hand...

316
00:16:47,796 --> 00:16:49,235
that's plenty of time.

319
00:16:55,254 --> 00:16:57,893
At Rudd's love shack
I found a few things,

320
00:16:58,806 --> 00:17:01,235
including a pair of
women's underwear.

321
00:17:02,796 --> 00:17:04,963
I don't suppose there's
a name tag in them?

322
00:17:04,988 --> 00:17:08,586
And there's more - two champagne
flutes, one with lipstick,

323
00:17:09,191 --> 00:17:12,879
both with prints, and the lab's
got a match on them already.

324
00:17:13,397 --> 00:17:14,316
One's Rudd...

325
00:17:15,241 --> 00:17:17,500
And the other's Petra?
Affirmative.

326
00:17:19,423 --> 00:17:21,262
Do you want me to handle this?

327
00:17:23,445 --> 00:17:25,235
(SIGHS) No. Leave it with me.

328
00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:27,670
Copy that.

00:17:36,624 --> 00:17:38,293
Yeah, Mike. Can we meet up?

332
00:17:40,234 --> 00:17:41,553
Are these yours?
No.

333
00:17:42,304 --> 00:17:44,493
Not my size, my colour, or my style.

334
00:17:44,869 --> 00:17:46,588
I like a thong, as you know.

335
00:17:47,322 --> 00:17:48,861
Can I go now?
Not quite.

336
00:17:50,475 --> 00:17:53,702
Your fingerprints were found on
a glass in Jack Rudd's bedroom.

337
00:17:53,727 --> 00:17:56,256
Can you explain that?
I paid him a visit.

338
00:17:58,581 --> 00:17:59,980
Any particular reason?

339
00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:02,349
To discuss literature.

340
00:18:02,522 --> 00:18:04,860
I need a straight answer, Petra. What
were you doing in Jack Rudd's bedroom?

341
00:18:04,885 --> 00:18:06,964
All right! I shagged him.
(SIGHS)

342
00:18:10,473 --> 00:18:12,012
So why did you lie to me?

343
00:18:13,162 --> 00:18:15,821
I don't want anything
getting back to my fiance.

344
00:18:15,846 --> 00:18:16,822
It would hurt him.

345
00:18:16,847 --> 00:18:18,390
Jesus, are you sure
about this marriage?

346
00:18:18,415 --> 00:18:19,471
You've only just met the guy.

347
00:18:19,496 --> 00:18:23,209
All right, it's impulsive, but you
know when you feel it, right?

348
00:18:23,234 --> 00:18:27,249
Sure, but people usually wait until after
the wedding before they start cheating.

349
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:28,883
Don't make this about us.

350
00:18:31,564 --> 00:18:34,093
I'm not proud of myself,
but Jack was...

351
00:18:35,728 --> 00:18:38,257
you don't meet guys
like that every day.

352
00:18:39,411 --> 00:18:41,020
So when did you meet him'?

353
00:18:41,156 --> 00:18:45,664
A few days ago, at my fiance's restaurant.
It's attached to the workshop.

354
00:18:45,836 --> 00:18:48,315
And Jack was having
lunch in the garden.

355
00:18:49,813 --> 00:18:53,162
He looks good in his jacket photos,
but in the flesh...

356
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:57,950
Excuse me. I know who you are.

357
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:03,815
I have no idea who you are,
but I'd love to find out.

358
00:19:06,731 --> 00:19:07,940
What are you doing?

359
00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:11,504
What, now?
Yeah. Right now.

360
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:19,666
I know it sounds bad,

361
00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:23,080
but I knew that Jack wasn't
here for long so I thought,

362
00:19:25,979 --> 00:19:29,428
well, so long as no one knows,
then what harm does it do?

363
00:19:30,623 --> 00:19:32,080
You don't change, do you?

364
00:19:32,105 --> 00:19:34,124
Neither do you. Look at this car.

365
00:19:36,653 --> 00:19:38,032
Don't judge me, Mike.

366
00:19:38,334 --> 00:19:41,377
I know Iâm not perfect,
but I never killed anyone.

367
00:19:41,402 --> 00:19:43,430
Petra says these
don't belong to her.

368
00:19:43,455 --> 00:19:45,867
And you believe her?
She copped to everything else.

369
00:19:45,892 --> 00:19:48,131
So she did shag him?
More than once.

370
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,535
Well, no wonder
Maxine was so septic.

371
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,146
Petra did suggest that
those might belong to her.

372
00:19:53,171 --> 00:19:55,730
Perhaps you could have
that conversation?

373
00:19:56,037 --> 00:19:59,685
Well they are Maxine's price point.
Less costs more, right?

374
00:20:00,272 --> 00:20:02,981
Well, they're not
priced by the yard, Mike.

How's the computer trawl going'?
Interesting.

376

I followed up on the will -
pretty standard, next of kin -

377
00:20:09,484 --> 00:20:12,423
that's hot - but there's
a big lawsuit brewing.

378
00:20:13,704 --> 00:20:17,163

Jack Rudd for a cool million?

00:20:29,876 --> 00:20:30,995
Could I have a few words?

382
00:20:31,020 --> 00:20:33,072
Your colleague said
I was allowed to re-open.

383
00:20:33,097 --> 00:20:34,306
Is there a problem?

384
00:20:34,376 --> 00:20:36,223
No. So long as no one
goes up the stairs.

385
00:20:36,248 --> 00:20:39,201
We've had rubberneckers outside
all morning, of course,

386
00:20:39,226 --> 00:20:41,255
wanting to see where it happened.

00:20:41,529 --> 00:20:44,119
Sadly, it's been quite
good for business.

Well, I won't hold you up.

389
00:20:46,939 --> 00:20:48,898
Do you know who these belong to?

390
00:20:51,931 --> 00:20:52,911
Those are mine.

391
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:57,436
Well, then you probably know, they
were found in Jack Rudd's bedroom.

392
00:20:58,289 --> 00:21:00,102
Well, that's not
evidence of anything.

393
00:21:00,127 --> 00:21:03,025
No, but it does indicate
a sexual relationship.

394
00:21:05,488 --> 00:21:09,540
I'm aware of how it looks, but I
can assure you that our connection

395
00:21:09,565 --> 00:21:11,714
was well established before we met.

396
00:21:12,274 --> 00:21:14,114
This was not a cheap hook-up.

397
00:21:14,256 --> 00:21:16,985
And how would you describe
the relationship?

398
00:21:18,365 --> 00:21:21,283
It started professionally,
as a correspondence.

399
00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:25,254
I contacted Jack's publisher
about a personal appearance,

400
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:26,498
and Jack responded.

401
00:21:28,242 --> 00:21:29,972
How did he respond?
Warmly.

402
00:21:32,327 --> 00:21:37,225
We started e-mailing, and things quickly
developed into something more personal.

403
00:21:37,275 --> 00:21:39,924
Not at my instigation.
He was keen to come.

404
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:43,166
He also said he was single,
and finding it lonely.

405
00:21:43,191 --> 00:21:44,990
So he invited a relationship?

406
00:21:46,351 --> 00:21:48,370
Why else would he have said that?

407
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:51,020
So, I arranged everything,

408
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:53,802
and he came, and it was perfect.

409
00:21:56,181 --> 00:21:58,780
We had dinner together
on his first night,

410
00:21:59,010 --> 00:22:00,229
we drank champagne,

411
00:22:01,185 --> 00:22:02,624
went back to his place,

412
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:04,257
we talked...

413
00:22:04,831 --> 00:22:06,680
It was a deep soul connection.

414
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:11,724
And then he changed.

415
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:15,979
The next day he summoned
me he was brusque.

416
00:22:17,451 --> 00:22:19,772
Who's been in here?
Things are missing.

417
00:22:19,796 --> 00:22:20,606
What things?

418
00:22:20,768 --> 00:22:23,147
Personal stuff -
my watch, my shaver...

419
00:22:23,324 --> 00:22:24,234
I'm so sorry.

420
00:22:24,893 --> 00:22:27,554
I don't know how that happened,
but I can replace everything.

421
00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:30,248
I'll do it tomorrow.
(LAUGHS DISMISSIVELY)

00:22:30,402 --> 00:22:32,577
You think you can buy
a Rolex in this town?

423
00:22:32,777 --> 00:22:33,591
Well, the shaver anyway.

424
00:22:33,616 --> 00:22:34,977
And I'll reimburse
you for the watch.

425
00:22:35,002 --> 00:22:36,901
It was a gift. It was engraved.

426
00:22:37,537 --> 00:22:38,866
Jack, I'm mortified.

427
00:22:40,259 --> 00:22:43,268
I was clear about my needs -
security and privacy.

428
00:22:45,168 --> 00:22:45,858
Of course.

429
00:22:46,275 --> 00:22:48,914
Can you make sure no
one else gets in here?

430
00:22:50,801 --> 00:22:53,470
And when you do bring the shaver,
leave it outside.

431
00:22:53,495 --> 00:22:54,505
I'm writing. I can't be disturbed.

432
00:22:54,530 --> 00:22:58,288
But he wasn't writing. He was
out and about, seen everywhere -

433
00:23:00,724 --> 00:23:01,894
drinks, dinners...

434
00:23:02,919 --> 00:23:05,698
Who did he have dinner with?
Reverend Greene.

435
00:23:07,592 --> 00:23:08,102
I know.

436
00:23:10,872 --> 00:23:12,661
Did you spring for the watch?

437
00:23:14,462 --> 00:23:16,032
Well, I felt responsible.

438
00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:20,039
And I really thought...

439
00:23:22,114 --> 00:23:24,563
That you had a future with him.
(SNIFFLES)

440
00:23:24,588 --> 00:23:27,417
That's what he led me to believe.
Definitely.

441
00:23:28,422 --> 00:23:30,961
And that's how he behaved
(VOICE BREAKS)

442
00:23:31,302 --> 00:23:32,531
until... (SNIFFLES)

443
00:23:35,295 --> 00:23:37,094
until he found other options,

444
00:23:38,023 --> 00:23:39,603
and I became disposable.

445
00:23:44,704 --> 00:23:45,729
Ah.
Afternoon.

446
00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:49,387
Beautiful place.
Yes, ifs lovely, isn't it'?

447
00:23:49,412 --> 00:23:50,732
Sadly it's not mine.

448
00:23:51,483 --> 00:23:53,432
Shall we go and talk in the hut.

449
00:23:55,023 --> 00:23:57,893
That way I'll feel at
least like I'm working.

450
00:23:58,850 --> 00:24:01,440
Why were you suing Rudd?
He stole from me.

451
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,079
Must've been something valuable.

452
00:24:06,128 --> 00:24:10,157
Yeah, a plot. It was the best one
I ever concocted and he stole it-

453
00:24:11,681 --> 00:24:13,131
lock, stock and barrel.

454
00:24:14,679 --> 00:24:15,019
HOW?

455
00:24:15,776 --> 00:24:18,786
Well, he was doing a Masters
in Creative Writing -

456
00:24:20,968 --> 00:24:22,058
the course I run.

457
00:24:23,241 --> 00:24:25,182
His portfolio was weak, you know.

458
00:24:25,207 --> 00:24:27,307
It was pretentious and derivative.

459
00:24:28,244 --> 00:24:30,444
The star that year was Hamish Drake.

460
00:24:32,258 --> 00:24:35,037
The teacher?
Yeah, at your local high school.

461
00:24:35,536 --> 00:24:37,994
Never did climb the heights,
but he could've.

462
00:24:38,019 --> 00:24:41,029
Anyway, they were both
part of my tutorial group.

463
00:24:41,896 --> 00:24:44,206
And Iâd just come up with this plot,

464
00:24:44,281 --> 00:24:47,513
and I knew it was good and I wanted
to use it to illustrate a point.

465
00:24:47,538 --> 00:24:50,128
Sol laid it out for them -
the whole thing.

466
00:24:51,214 --> 00:24:54,384
(CHUCKLES) I have to admit,
I was quite proud of it.

467
00:24:54,813 --> 00:24:58,453
So you can imagine my surprise
when Jack Rudd's first novel

468
00:24:59,577 --> 00:25:03,166
was published nine months later,
and there it was - my plot.

469
00:25:05,685 --> 00:25:07,495
Every detail. Straight steal.

470
00:25:09,015 --> 00:25:12,935
Why go after him now? He sold the
movie rights to a major studio.

471
00:25:14,114 --> 00:25:15,794
That's like striking gold.

472
00:25:16,807 --> 00:25:19,597
And here am I, approaching
retirement, and...

473
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,400
all I really wanted was a share
of what was rightfully mine.

474
00:25:25,019 --> 00:25:29,588
So you hired a lawyer? Well, I thought
we could deal with it like gentlemen,

475
00:25:31,328 --> 00:25:33,048
so I took him out for lunch.

476
00:25:33,195 --> 00:25:36,265
A percentage of the rights' payment,
and a credit.

477
00:25:36,765 --> 00:25:38,195
That's all I'm after.

478
00:25:38,968 --> 00:25:39,778
Saying what?

479
00:25:40,444 --> 00:25:43,744
'Original story by'.
It could even be a shared credit.

480
00:25:44,401 --> 00:25:47,181
(SCOFFS, CHUCKLES)
Why would I give you that?

481
00:25:47,475 --> 00:25:48,325
It's my due.

482
00:25:48,970 --> 00:25:50,940
Kenneth, your books don't sell.

483
00:25:54,671 --> 00:25:55,711
They're boring.

484
00:25:56,808 --> 00:25:59,388
I took your straw and
I spun it into gold.

485
00:26:00,739 --> 00:26:04,489
So you admit you took from me?
A few details, the basic shape.

486
00:26:05,763 --> 00:26:08,302
It was wholesale theft.
Try and prove it.

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,302
I've got deeper pockets
than you. You won't win.

488
00:26:11,327 --> 00:26:13,377
Why can't you just
do the decent thing?

489
00:26:13,402 --> 00:26:15,002
Cos I don't feel like it.

490
00:26:15,891 --> 00:26:19,461
I ripped you off. Boo hoo.
What are you gonna do about it'?

491
00:26:19,527 --> 00:26:22,446
I'll see you in court, Jack.
I don't think so.

492
00:26:28,684 --> 00:26:29,834
Nice try, old man.

493
00:26:34,161 --> 00:26:37,141
You must've been angry
that he second guessed you.

494
00:26:37,166 --> 00:26:40,886
(CHUCKLES) I suppose you're
looking for a motive, Detective?

495
00:26:41,405 --> 00:26:42,095
Of course.

496
00:26:42,553 --> 00:26:45,833
We have to ask - who had
reason to want Jack Rudd dead?

497
00:26:46,050 --> 00:26:48,409
He was more use to
me alive, actually.

498
00:26:49,042 --> 00:26:51,992
Although I suppose I could
still sue the estate.

499
00:26:52,758 --> 00:26:54,867
It's all going to a
brother in Canada.

500
00:26:54,892 --> 00:26:56,982
Really? What, no wives? Ex-wives?

501
00:26:58,730 --> 00:27:03,119
Rudd was a rolling stone. Gathered no moss.
He was a phony and a failure.

502
00:27:05,115 --> 00:27:08,395
At the end of the day,
Jack Rudd got what he deserved.

503
00:27:10,912 --> 00:27:14,501
It was just a friendly gesture -
a simple home-cooked meal.

504
00:27:16,483 --> 00:27:20,313
And is this a gesture you generally
extend to visiting authors?

505
00:27:21,037 --> 00:27:22,187
As it happens, no.

506
00:27:23,470 --> 00:27:26,310
So, why this author?
I enjoy murder mysteries.

507
00:27:29,308 --> 00:27:32,698
It was a chance to spend time
with a master of the form -

508
00:27:33,914 --> 00:27:35,474
perhaps glean a few tips.

509
00:27:36,010 --> 00:27:38,270
And was it enlightening?
Not really.

510
00:27:39,877 --> 00:27:42,446
He was a disappointing
conversationalist.

511
00:27:42,642 --> 00:27:45,362
A good story doesn't
need flowery language,

512
00:27:45,727 --> 00:27:49,037
it simply needs attractive
people wanting to have sex,

513
00:27:49,265 --> 00:27:51,755
having sex or thinking
about having sex.

514
00:27:52,707 --> 00:27:54,816
Then you throw in a
murder, and hey presto.

515
00:27:54,841 --> 00:27:57,611
Ungenerous.
I barely got a word in all night.

516
00:27:58,592 --> 00:28:02,872
I'd gone to quite some trouble, and
he left before the pudding course.

517
00:28:03,954 --> 00:28:06,804
Mrs Marlowe made a
gooseberry fool especially.

518
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,880
Perhaps it was presumptuous
of me to impose on him.

519
00:28:12,350 --> 00:28:16,660
He's an internationally celebrated
author, and I'm... nobody, really.

520
00:28:20,597 --> 00:28:22,346
Nevertheless, I was hopeful.

521
00:28:24,031 --> 00:28:25,591
What were you hoping for?

522
00:28:26,910 --> 00:28:27,940
More than I got.

523
00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:33,418
You seemed very interested
in the author's satchel.

524
00:28:33,798 --> 00:28:36,537
Did I? Mm.. I had to ask
you not to touch it.

I'd lent him something.
I wanted it returned.

529
00:28:47,957 --> 00:28:50,667
What did you lend him?
Iâd rather not say.

light on that dinner at the manse.

Oh. Were you there all night?
(CHUCKLES)

539
00:29:23,153 --> 00:29:26,983
Well, the Reverend couldn't put
together a three-course meal.

540
00:29:27,317 --> 00:29:28,986
So you did all the cooking?

541
00:29:29,028 --> 00:29:30,238
And the washing up.

542
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:33,755
I was quite prepared to
serve at table as well,

543

but the Reverend put his
foot down about that.

544
00:29:37,021 --> 00:29:40,591
He told me in no uncertain
terms I was not to disturb them.

545
00:29:43,028 --> 00:29:45,558
He wanted to be alone
with that man Rudd.

546
00:29:45,894 --> 00:29:47,274
What, do you know why?

547
00:29:48,108 --> 00:29:49,848
Well, he's very attractive.

I have nothing against
homosexualists.

550
00:30:01,384 --> 00:30:04,154
Are you serious?
Rudd scored the Rev as well?

551
00:30:04,306 --> 00:30:06,077
The guy was barely here a week!

552
00:30:06,102 --> 00:30:08,182
And on the seventh day, he rested.

553
00:30:08,707 --> 00:30:12,307
It's only supposition, but there's definitely
something Reverend Greene isn't telling us.

He had hopes, he was disappointed,

555
00:30:14,586 --> 00:30:17,356
which is Maxine's story too.
And Carnaby's.

556
00:30:18,386 --> 00:30:20,638
There's definitely a theme emerging.

557
00:30:20,663 --> 00:30:21,862
The guy was a user.

558

Petra didn't feel used.
She gave Rudd a glowing report.

559

Are you, like, a bit jealous?

560

On the contrary - I'm remembering
why I walked away.

561
00:30:34,372 --> 00:30:36,801
So at least three
suspects have motive.

562

Greene have a score to settle.

around Rudd and Reverend Greene.

What kind of favour?

626
00:34:30,726 --> 00:34:33,029
Rudd had fans, right?
Obsessive fans.

627
00:34:33,054 --> 00:34:34,784
There's reams of it online.

628
00:34:35,409 --> 00:34:38,977
Did they contact him directly?
Oh, yeah, and he gets back to them,

629
00:34:39,002 --> 00:34:41,082
and some of it gets pretty steamy.

630
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,160
Anyone on the board?
No, but someone known to us.

631
00:34:50,351 --> 00:34:54,231
I did not have any correspondence
with him, thank you very much!

632
00:34:55,273 --> 00:34:56,373
Someone else did.

633
00:34:58,477 --> 00:35:01,427
Yes, I wrote to him,
in a professional capacity.

634
00:35:02,281 --> 00:35:03,610
Who made the contact?

635
00:35:04,364 --> 00:35:06,504
I did, to correct him on procedure.

636
00:35:07,202 --> 00:35:09,512
The pathology in
his work was sloppy.

637
00:35:10,354 --> 00:35:12,434
I felt he was being badly advised.

638
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:13,439
I said this.

639
00:35:14,083 --> 00:35:16,962
How did he respond?
He begged me to advise him.

640
00:35:17,667 --> 00:35:21,937
And so, it began - he sent me a murder,
I sent him the pathology report.

641
00:35:22,516 --> 00:35:24,076
I was exact and thorough.

642
00:35:25,394 --> 00:35:26,954
I'd expect nothing less.

643
00:35:27,151 --> 00:35:30,620
Soon, his book was published -
not one word did he change.

644
00:35:33,127 --> 00:35:35,087
My writing, with his name on it.

645
00:35:35,551 --> 00:35:39,281
Did he offer payment? I did not ask.
I was happy to be of use.

646
00:35:40,351 --> 00:35:41,571
And then... (SIGHS)

647
00:35:42,197 --> 00:35:43,596
he became... personal.

648
00:35:45,273 --> 00:35:46,713
Romantic.
In what way?

649
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,506
Would I meet him?
Could he come to me?

650
00:35:50,531 --> 00:35:52,491
Would I send money for a ticket?

651
00:35:52,555 --> 00:35:56,784
But he was loaded. He mentioned a
cashflow problem. He was not liquid.

652
00:35:56,881 --> 00:35:59,680
I hope you didn't send anything.
Please. I'm Russian.

653
00:35:59,705 --> 00:36:01,563
I do not fall for this kind of scam.

654
00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:04,638
I told him - you want to come,
buy your own ticket.

655
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:08,300
How did he take that?
No reply.

656
00:36:09,721 --> 00:36:11,160
And then, the new book -

657
00:36:11,947 --> 00:36:13,217
'Knife In The Back',

658
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:17,723
with a killer who is a frigid
pathologist called Nina.

659

went to the reading?

happened between this Rudd and me.

663
00:36:35,528 --> 00:36:37,547
I understand.
He was a betrayer.

664
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,340
He stole people's lives
and put them in his books.

sort of stuff - classic introvert -

That's why I liked him.

He would bring the party,
all I had to do was tag along.

We were good friends.

688
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:58,968
Did you stay in touch after uni?
Initially.

689
00:37:59,432 --> 00:38:01,042
We were on the same track -

690
00:38:01,104 --> 00:38:04,353
we'd both written novels,
and looking for publishers.

691
00:38:04,378 --> 00:38:06,712
And then I got the call-
the one you dream of.

692
00:38:06,737 --> 00:38:10,376
An agent from Sydney loved my work -
loved the sample I sent-

693
00:38:10,658 --> 00:38:13,216
wanted to read the book,
wanted me to come over.

694
00:38:13,241 --> 00:38:15,080
Jack said I should jump on it.

695
00:38:15,297 --> 00:38:17,936
So I did, and he tagged
along for the ride.

696
00:38:19,288 --> 00:38:20,787
And jumped on the agent.

697
00:38:21,650 --> 00:38:23,719
It wasn't me she wanted any more.

698
00:38:24,406 --> 00:38:28,141
He got published instead, got a deal
in the States and got launched.

699
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:30,635
That must have been
a kick in the teeth.

drawer and stopped hustling.

see how far I can get.

781
00:43:23,951 --> 00:43:25,887
Are you involved with Lindy Morris?
You mean sexually?

782
00:43:25,912 --> 00:43:27,242
Yes.
Absolutely not.

783
00:43:27,807 --> 00:43:30,170
But you have previously
had affairs with pupils?

784
00:43:30,195 --> 00:43:32,174
Not affairs, plural. One affair.

785
00:43:33,721 --> 00:43:36,728
And she was an ex pupil.
I was very careful about that.

786
00:43:36,753 --> 00:43:40,581
Nonetheless, you lost your job.
I resigned. It was my decision.

787
00:43:41,579 --> 00:43:43,678
Following complaints to the board.

788
00:43:44,692 --> 00:43:48,103
All right. I could see where
the parents were coming from.

789
00:43:48,128 --> 00:43:49,507
It did blur the lines.

790
00:43:49,857 --> 00:43:51,107
I was 30; he was 18.

791
00:43:52,059 --> 00:43:55,018
She had left school,
the relationship was legal,

792
00:43:55,233 --> 00:43:57,882
but I didn't fight the objections.
I left.

793
00:44:00,783 --> 00:44:02,653
Did the relationship continue?

794
00:44:03,021 --> 00:44:05,490
For a few months,
and then she ended it.

795
00:44:06,350 --> 00:44:07,499
Met a younger guy.

796
00:44:08,180 --> 00:44:11,529
A job came up here and I thought,
'Great. Fresh start.'

797
00:44:11,729 --> 00:44:14,387
Did you declare all
this to your employers?

798
00:44:14,416 --> 00:44:17,221
(SCOFFS) Iâd be a mug to try
and hide it, wouldn't I?

799
00:44:17,246 --> 00:44:19,115
I explained the circumstances.

800
00:44:19,652 --> 00:44:22,941
Did Jack Rudd know about this?
Yeah. Yeah, I told him.

801
00:44:24,324 --> 00:44:25,804
And he put it in a book.

802
00:44:26,158 --> 00:44:28,597
'To Sir With Loathing'.
Terrible title.

803
00:44:29,617 --> 00:44:32,166
How did you feel about that?
Unsurprised.

804
00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:34,233
Jack steals from everyone.
That's who he is.

805
00:44:34,258 --> 00:44:37,257
He did more than steal.
He was defaming you. Yes.

806
00:44:37,977 --> 00:44:41,796
He said I was a serial abuser
and a borderline psycho predator.

807
00:44:43,593 --> 00:44:45,442
Jack likes to juice things up.

808
00:44:46,552 --> 00:44:48,451
I don't prey on teenage girls.

809
00:44:51,027 --> 00:44:54,195
Do you take anyone else to
book club? Or just Lindy?

810
00:44:55,493 --> 00:44:56,532
Lindy can write.

811
00:44:57,276 --> 00:45:01,274
Teachers like me, who care, always
hope they can find that person -

812
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,327
that needle in the haystack,

813
00:45:03,352 --> 00:45:05,637
the one that makes this
craft all worthwhile.

814
00:45:05,662 --> 00:45:06,882
(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

815
00:45:08,768 --> 00:45:12,117
Lindy's that girl.
I would never, ever, mess with her.

816
00:45:14,141 --> 00:45:15,870
Her mum would break my legs.

817
00:45:17,482 --> 00:45:20,081
No way would Hamish
do anything like that.

818
00:45:21,205 --> 00:45:24,183
Well I hate to say it,
but it is often the people

819
00:45:24,547 --> 00:45:26,466
that seem the most trustworthy -

820
00:45:26,498 --> 00:45:28,767
youth workers, teachers...
Yeah, OK.

821
00:45:29,646 --> 00:45:33,601
But I've got a pretty good radar for that sort
of thing. Being a single mum, you have to.

822
00:45:33,626 --> 00:45:35,426
So you don't have any
concerns about Hamish?

823
00:45:35,451 --> 00:45:36,600
Yeah, I said that.

824
00:45:37,105 --> 00:45:39,584
Look, you're barking
up the wrong tree.

825
00:45:40,177 --> 00:45:45,352
You wouldn't happen to know about a couple of items
that have gone missing from here, would you?

826
00:45:45,377 --> 00:45:46,587
What's this about?

827
00:45:47,471 --> 00:45:50,440
Well, I'm just wondering if
you've moved anything around -

828
00:45:50,465 --> 00:45:52,034
personal items.
(SCOFFS)

829
00:45:53,253 --> 00:45:53,823
Far out.

830
00:45:54,894 --> 00:45:58,179
Whenever anything goes missing,
everyone always blames the cleaner.

831
00:45:58,204 --> 00:46:00,607
Well there's no sign of a break-in, but
there were definitely things missing,

832
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:04,251
so I'm just wondering how many
people have the access code?

833
00:46:04,276 --> 00:46:07,145
Well, you've got it.
Plus I gave it to Maxine.

834
00:46:07,202 --> 00:46:10,710
She didn't want me hanging around, but
she was pretty keen on popping in.

835
00:46:10,735 --> 00:46:13,994
Topping up the champagne bucket.
Changing the sheets.

836
00:46:15,530 --> 00:46:19,229
She comes across all classy,
but man, she was gagging for it.

837
00:46:21,644 --> 00:46:25,112
I enjoyed Rudd's books as an
insight into his character.

838
00:46:25,473 --> 00:46:26,852
Oh? What did you find?

839
00:46:27,470 --> 00:46:30,719
That he likes using people,
playing with their lives.

840
00:46:31,145 --> 00:46:32,875
Isn't that what writers do?

841
00:46:33,787 --> 00:46:36,793
Did you know that Hamish Drake
had ambitions to be a writer?

842
00:46:36,818 --> 00:46:38,970
Not everyone achieves their dreams.

843
00:46:38,995 --> 00:46:41,644
Those who can, do;
those who can't, teach.

844
00:46:42,196 --> 00:46:44,389
Isn't that what they say?
ls he a good teacher?

845
00:46:44,414 --> 00:46:46,730
How would I know?
He's a good customer.

846
00:46:46,755 --> 00:46:48,374
He never misses book club.

847
00:46:49,728 --> 00:46:51,408
Does he usually come alone?

848
00:46:51,824 --> 00:46:54,822
Not any more.
He always brings the girl with him.

849
00:46:54,982 --> 00:46:57,001
She sits there, silent as a clam,

850
00:46:57,150 --> 00:46:59,223
only opens her mouth
to eat the supper.

851
00:46:59,248 --> 00:47:00,990
I've been wondering why she comes,

852
00:47:01,015 --> 00:47:04,804
but I suppose it's a good way of
throwing her mother off the scent. Oh?

853
00:47:04,829 --> 00:47:08,347
Well, it sounds innocent,
doesn't it? It's a good cover.

854
00:47:08,494 --> 00:47:09,474
Cover for what?

855
00:47:10,061 --> 00:47:14,949
Whatever a teacher and his pupil feel like
doing outside school hours, Detective.

856
00:47:15,247 --> 00:47:18,426
Sorry to interrupt, Maxine.
I've come for my plate.

857
00:47:18,803 --> 00:47:19,553
Your plate?

858
00:47:19,949 --> 00:47:23,301
With all the brouhaha the
other evening, I left without it.

859
00:47:23,326 --> 00:47:25,555
It'll be in the kitchen.
I hope so.

860
00:47:28,366 --> 00:47:31,874
I spotted the two of them in
his car, down by the estuary.

861
00:47:37,635 --> 00:47:40,324
He'd taken a bit of
trouble not to be seen.

862
00:47:40,406 --> 00:47:43,454
They weren't taking in
the view, put it that way.

863
00:47:44,451 --> 00:47:46,250
Was there any sexual contact?

864
00:47:46,322 --> 00:47:48,391
Not that I could see. It was more-

865
00:47:48,573 --> 00:47:49,713
I found it.
Good.

866
00:47:52,444 --> 00:47:56,043
It was the body language.
There was something between them.

867
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,934
Was this the first
time you noticed it?

868
00:47:57,959 --> 00:48:00,488
Yes, but I wasn't
looking for it before.

869
00:48:01,089 --> 00:48:03,131
This stuff goes on all the
time under people's noses,

870
00:48:03,156 --> 00:48:05,515
in broad daylight,
and no one sees it.

871
00:48:07,827 --> 00:48:10,386
Detective Shepherd.
Call me Mike, please.

872
00:48:11,618 --> 00:48:13,997
Hamish has his
reputation to maintain.

873
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:17,274
He boarded with me when
he first came here,

874
00:48:17,799 --> 00:48:19,519
and a nicer chap you couldn't meet.

875
00:48:19,544 --> 00:48:22,133
Did he tell you why
he came to Brokenwood?

876
00:48:22,434 --> 00:48:24,234
That business about the girl?

877
00:48:24,429 --> 00:48:26,278
Pfft! There was nothing in it.

878
00:48:26,770 --> 00:48:28,233
With respect, you don't know that.

879
00:48:28,258 --> 00:48:30,122
If you want my two cents' worth,

880
00:48:30,147 --> 00:48:33,926
Maxine's making mischief to draw
attention away from herself.

881
00:48:34,349 --> 00:48:37,940
Did she mentioned to you what
took place outside that night?

882
00:48:37,965 --> 00:48:39,403
The night of the murder?

883
00:48:39,428 --> 00:48:43,017
She was having quite a, uh,
contretemps with that man Rudd.

884
00:48:45,294 --> 00:48:48,132
We were in the kitchen,
heating the savouries,

885
00:48:48,618 --> 00:48:50,297
when she suddenly took off.

886
00:48:53,256 --> 00:48:57,464
We didn't have many pairs of hands,
but we soldiered on, Lindy and I.

887
00:48:59,532 --> 00:49:03,741
A few minutes later, I was taking the
kitchen tidy bag out to the bin...

888
00:49:03,766 --> 00:49:04,865
JACK: Puh-lease!

889
00:49:05,163 --> 00:49:09,731
...and the pair of them were in the
courtyard, going at it hammer and tongs.

890
00:49:10,314 --> 00:49:14,328
I didn't pay for you to come here and
tomcat around with every small-town tramp

891
00:49:14,353 --> 00:49:15,683
that caught your eye.

892
00:49:16,129 --> 00:49:18,278
Oh, so you wanted exclusive rights?

893
00:49:19,257 --> 00:49:22,026
I wanted you.
That doesn't make you unusual.

894
00:49:24,478 --> 00:49:26,962
But Iâm not looking
to tie myself down,

895
00:49:26,987 --> 00:49:30,905
and even if I was, it wouldn't
be with someone like you, Maxine.

896
00:49:32,959 --> 00:49:35,328
He was most unpleasant to her.
Savage.

897
00:49:36,765 --> 00:49:39,683
You didn't think about coming
forward with this earlier?

898
00:49:39,708 --> 00:49:41,367
No. I'm not one to gossip.

899
00:49:42,790 --> 00:49:45,958
But I don't like what
she's implying about Hamish,

900
00:49:46,267 --> 00:49:49,206
and if she didn't tell
you about what happened,

901
00:49:49,474 --> 00:49:51,613
well, you need to ask yourself why.

902
00:49:58,543 --> 00:49:59,473
(KEYPAD BEEPS)

903
00:50:03,575 --> 00:50:04,155
Kristin.

904
00:50:05,850 --> 00:50:07,845
I need you to come
down to the bookshop.

905
00:50:07,870 --> 00:50:10,339
Yeah, we need to
put the heat on Maxine.

906
00:50:13,264 --> 00:50:15,868
The feeling's mutual.
I've been extremely cooperative.

907
00:50:15,893 --> 00:50:17,522
But not entirely truthful.

908
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,149
I beg your pardon?

909
00:50:19,535 --> 00:50:22,955
We've been told you had heated words just
minutes before Jack Rudd was killed.

910
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:23,840
Told by whom?

911
00:50:24,253 --> 00:50:26,584
An eyewitness who
could quote at length,

912
00:50:26,609 --> 00:50:30,657
talking about how 'He wouldn't
want to be with 'someone like you'.

913
00:50:31,570 --> 00:50:32,959
It was very insulting.

914
00:50:33,603 --> 00:50:35,656
From a man that you've been
more than generous to.

915
00:50:35,681 --> 00:50:38,941
He was giving out all the signals.
He was a skilled player.

916
00:50:38,966 --> 00:50:40,805
I was hardly out of my league.

917
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,790
Were you hoping to marry him?

918
00:50:44,550 --> 00:50:46,219
I wanted to share his life.

919
00:50:46,967 --> 00:50:48,866
And he said he wanted that too.

920
00:50:49,878 --> 00:50:51,857
You must have been disappointed.

921
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,859
So, after this exchange,
what did you do?

922
00:50:57,836 --> 00:50:59,046
I came back inside.

923
00:50:59,756 --> 00:51:02,484
Where exactly?
The bookshop. You were there.

924
00:51:05,471 --> 00:51:08,270
(GLASS RATTLES)
PETRA: Oops! (CHUCKLES) Taxi!

925
00:51:08,345 --> 00:51:11,768
Well, I'd only just arrived, and barely two
minutes later, Jack Rudd was found dead.

926
00:51:11,793 --> 00:51:17,261
Which suggests that a slightly longer time
elapsed between your argument and Rudd's death.

927
00:51:19,013 --> 00:51:19,583
Does it?

928
00:51:19,893 --> 00:51:21,862
Well, think about it. You argue,

929
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:23,883
he goes inside, you follow.

930
00:51:23,908 --> 00:51:25,713
He goes upstairs,
you go into the bookshop.

931
00:51:25,738 --> 00:51:28,949
Almost immediately, Petra leaves
the bookshop and finds the body.

932
00:51:28,974 --> 00:51:33,642
How does that add up? Or is it possible
you didn't go back into the bookshop?

933
00:51:34,383 --> 00:51:36,812
Is it possible you
went somewhere else?

934
00:51:37,379 --> 00:51:41,368
Think carefully about what you did
where you were and who saw you.

935
00:51:45,140 --> 00:51:46,230
I was very upset.

936
00:51:47,299 --> 00:51:49,364
I went to the bathroom.
I needed to do my face.

937
00:51:49,389 --> 00:51:51,608
Upstairs or downstairs?
Downstairs.

938
00:51:51,743 --> 00:51:54,512
How long were you in there?
Maybe 10 minutes.

939
00:51:56,165 --> 00:52:00,337
I needed to take everything off and
start again - it's quite a business.

940
00:52:00,362 --> 00:52:01,812
Can anyone verify this?

941
00:52:02,085 --> 00:52:05,373
(SCOFFS) There was no one with me!
Why would there be?

942
00:52:05,519 --> 00:52:07,308
What about when you came out?

943
00:52:08,456 --> 00:52:11,984
There was someone waiting.
I came out and they slipped in.

944
00:52:13,048 --> 00:52:14,707
You didn't see who it was?

945
00:52:15,354 --> 00:52:19,222
I didn't make eye contact.
I was only just holding it together.

946
00:52:19,633 --> 00:52:22,742
And so that's when you
came out into the bookshop?

947
00:52:23,042 --> 00:52:23,961
That's right.

948
00:52:24,364 --> 00:52:26,408
So at the time Jack Rudd was
murdered on your premises,

949
00:52:26,433 --> 00:52:29,432
with your knife, you can't
prove where you were?

950
00:52:29,506 --> 00:52:32,035
I've just told you.
There's no witness.

951
00:52:33,076 --> 00:52:36,774
You knew the layout of the building,
you had a weapon, you had motive,

952
00:52:36,799 --> 00:52:39,488
and as far as we know, you were the
last person to see Jack Rudd alive.

953
00:52:39,513 --> 00:52:41,762
Petra found him.
She found him dead.

954
00:52:42,434 --> 00:52:44,761
Petra had no reason to
stab him in the back.

955
00:52:44,786 --> 00:52:46,166
He didn't betray her.

956
00:52:48,418 --> 00:52:49,857
Did you kill Jack Rudd?

957
00:52:51,297 --> 00:52:52,557
I want you to leave.

958
00:52:52,698 --> 00:52:56,453
I will not be answering any more
questions without my lawyer.

959
00:52:57,917 --> 00:53:00,505
We have motive,
opportunity and a weapon.

960
00:53:00,728 --> 00:53:03,106
But no physical
evidence or witnesses.

961
00:53:03,531 --> 00:53:05,873
And in a Jack Rudd murder,
there's always a twist.

962
00:53:05,898 --> 00:53:07,709
Yeah, it's not stacking
up for me either.

963
00:53:07,734 --> 00:53:09,473
Maxine is the woman spurned!

964
00:53:10,728 --> 00:53:12,495
She spent big bucks on this guy.

965
00:53:12,519 --> 00:53:16,257
Yeah, big bucks to you or me,
but not to rich people like her.

966
00:53:16,410 --> 00:53:18,309
50K, 100K, they don't miss it.

967
00:53:19,127 --> 00:53:22,065
OK, pieces on the board.
Let's walk it through.

968
00:53:25,278 --> 00:53:26,307
Here's our man.

969
00:53:28,958 --> 00:53:30,347
And... here's Maxine.

970
00:53:32,545 --> 00:53:35,067
Let's assume she's telling the truth
and she's in the downstairs toilet,

971
00:53:35,092 --> 00:53:36,164
fixing her lippy.

972
00:53:36,189 --> 00:53:39,387
Meanwhile, Kristin, Gina
and Jared arrive and see...

973
00:53:45,899 --> 00:53:47,707
Reverend Greene, Mrs Marlowe,

974
00:53:49,096 --> 00:53:50,255
KL Carnaby, Maxine

975
00:53:51,979 --> 00:53:52,668
and Petra.

976
00:53:59,656 --> 00:54:00,586
That leaves...

977
00:54:01,743 --> 00:54:02,842
Hamish and Lindy.

978
00:54:03,816 --> 00:54:07,244
According to Mrs Marlowe,
Lindy was helping with supper.

979
00:54:08,521 --> 00:54:10,550
But Mrs Marlowe left the kitchen.

980
00:54:10,610 --> 00:54:12,629
OK, well, what did Lindy do then?

981
00:54:14,413 --> 00:54:15,931
So, at this point,
as far as we know,

982
00:54:15,956 --> 00:54:19,304
the last person to see Jack Rudd
alive was Maxine or...

983
00:54:22,802 --> 00:54:23,722
That's heavy.

984
00:54:24,513 --> 00:54:26,361
What state was she in
when you talked to her?

985
00:54:26,386 --> 00:54:28,345
Numb. Shocked.
As you would be.

986
00:54:28,947 --> 00:54:31,615
Almost catatonic.
I mean, I just thought...

987
00:54:31,955 --> 00:54:33,204
How old is she?
16.

988
00:54:36,227 --> 00:54:38,066
We won't bring Maxine in yet.

989
00:54:38,426 --> 00:54:41,594
What about Lindy?
We'll talk to her in the morning.

What are you doing, Petra?
I want to talk to you.

995
00:55:03,613 --> 00:55:05,752
(SIGHS) That's all kinds of wrong.

996
00:55:06,214 --> 00:55:08,857
You're a suspect in an
active murder investigation.

997
00:55:08,882 --> 00:55:10,651
But you know I didn't do it.

998
00:55:10,767 --> 00:55:13,345
Besides, can't a woman
drop in on her ex?

999
00:55:13,918 --> 00:55:14,990
I thought you didn't
want the gossip.

1000
00:55:15,015 --> 00:55:17,734
For you, I'll risk the
reputational damage.

1001
00:55:20,331 --> 00:55:21,537
Grab a glass, then.

So, are you getting close?
I can't talk shop with you.

1004
00:55:29,913 --> 00:55:33,081
C'mon, just a hint.
I'm getting married next week!

1005
00:55:33,999 --> 00:55:36,175
I can't afford to have a
murder rap hanging over me.

1006
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:37,528
Next week? Why the rush?

1007
00:55:37,553 --> 00:55:40,591
Why wait? It's not as
if there's a better offer.

1008
00:55:42,225 --> 00:55:46,662
Besides, how was I to know the book
club was gonna turn into a blood bath?

1009
00:55:46,705 --> 00:55:49,144
Just saying, maybe
you should postpone.

1010
00:55:51,697 --> 00:55:53,627
The cheese-maker
would be suspicious.

1011
00:55:53,652 --> 00:55:55,081
He'd want to know why.

1012
00:55:55,574 --> 00:55:57,303
Tell him you need more time.

1013
00:55:58,128 --> 00:55:58,978
But I don't.

1014
00:56:01,328 --> 00:56:02,937
I'm tired of being alone.

1015
00:56:07,583 --> 00:56:08,962
I like arms around me.

1016
00:56:10,471 --> 00:56:14,798
And so I don't want any late-stage
revelations about me and Jack Rudd.

1017
00:56:16,543 --> 00:56:19,422
At this point,
you're not in danger of arrest.

Thank you.

1019

But things change. People hide things,
so I'm not making any promises.

1020
00:56:26,938 --> 00:56:31,325
Yeah, about that, there is one tiny
little thing that I didn't tell you.

1021
00:56:31,438 --> 00:56:34,135
Why do you do this, Petra?
It's nothing bad. I just...

1022
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,358
I took something from Jack's place.

1023

Personal items?
No. This.

1024

Some wannabe writer gave it to Jack.

1025

We started reading it. (SIGHS)

back to bite me, so take it.

1031

About?

1032
00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:13,377
Book club. Supper break. Where you were.
(SIGHS) In the bookshop.

1033
00:57:14,581 --> 00:57:16,979
All the time?
I did pop out for a wazz.

1034
00:57:19,258 --> 00:57:20,619
Upstairs or downstairs?

1035
00:57:20,644 --> 00:57:23,832
Both. I tried downstairs,
but someone was locked in.

1036
00:57:25,894 --> 00:57:27,615
I knocked, but they weren't budging.

Do you know who it was?
Hm. Female.

1039
00:57:33,485 --> 00:57:35,628
Sounded a bit like
they'd been crying.

1040

Maxine? She was in the shop
falling over her high heels.

1041
00:57:40,768 --> 00:57:42,857
Anyway I went upstairs and then...

1042
00:57:44,647 --> 00:57:45,966

He's the best teacher I've ever had.

He knows a lot about writing.

And he says I've
really got something.

1066
00:59:18,950 --> 00:59:21,526
He reckons the best way to
improve your style is to read.

I saw him - but he didn't ask me

he just went...

He shoved it at me.

1090

And then he went 'Next'.

1091
01:00:44,605 --> 01:00:46,054
And then what happened?

1092
01:00:46,524 --> 01:00:49,423
Well there was a queue,
so I just took the book.

1093
01:00:49,448 --> 01:00:52,866
And then the reading started,
and then there was supper.

you helped with that?

She used to be my baby-sitter.

1096

She never charged me. Heart of gold.

1097
01:01:00,955 --> 01:01:04,414
So you were in the kitchen?
And then I took some food out.

1098
01:01:04,439 --> 01:01:06,698
Into the bookshop?
Passing it round.

1099

Was Jack there? He was being
really nice to everyone.

1100
01:01:13,790 --> 01:01:15,484
I thought maybe
he was nervous before,

1101
01:01:15,509 --> 01:01:18,727
and I wanted to say something
to him, so I went over.

1102

to work and Lindy's gotta get to school.

Oh, no, love.

In front of everyone.

1116

Are you sure about him
being her father? 100%.

1117
01:02:30,015 --> 01:02:33,073
How old were you?
22. Worked in the 'varsity cafe.

stuff on the tab. He never paid.

1119
01:02:38,894 --> 01:02:41,983
So I'd put money in and
cross him out of the book.

1120

1121

But he was...

1122

Well, you know what he was.

1123

I knew I was gonna
get my heart broken,

1124

but I didn't know I was
gonna get up the duff.

1125
01:02:56,482 --> 01:02:58,840
Did you tell him?
Yeah. And he went...

1126
01:03:00,559 --> 01:03:02,708
Default setting. Don't wanna know.

1127
01:03:03,759 --> 01:03:07,667
I couldn't prove it. So he went
off to Sydney and that was that.

No contact, no child support.

1129
01:03:11,045 --> 01:03:12,424

1130
01:03:15,150 --> 01:03:16,819
I cleaned a lot of toilets.

1131

But who cares?

Cos I don't look like him.

1135
01:03:35,856 --> 01:03:40,024
Maybe it was just something she said,
like a fairy tale or something.

1136
01:03:44,741 --> 01:03:49,299
(SIGHS) He looked at me like I was
something he wanted to wipe off his shoe.

I just wanted to hide.

1138

I went to the bathroom,
but someone was in there,

1139
01:04:01,284 --> 01:04:03,642
and I waited ages
before she came out.

1140
01:04:06,043 --> 01:04:07,942
Who was it?
The bookshop lady.

1141
01:04:09,402 --> 01:04:11,301
She had way too much makeup on.

1142
01:04:15,530 --> 01:04:17,379
I locked myself in the toilet.

1143

I didn't know what to do.

1144

I thought everything
Mum told me was a lie.

1145

Did you see Jack Rudd
when he was here?

1146
01:04:29,013 --> 01:04:32,312
Why bother? He made it clear
he didn't want to know me.

1147
01:04:32,337 --> 01:04:37,394
But you let Lindy go to the reading? I
didn't want to. I knew it wouldn't end well.

1148
01:04:37,957 --> 01:04:41,235
We had a full on fight,
but there was no stopping her.

1149

There's no point, Lindy.

1150

I just wanna ask him!

1151
01:04:45,236 --> 01:04:46,727
He won't admit it. He never has.

1152

down and kick her in the guts.

Mm-hm. And it clears one thing up.

1172
01:06:16,452 --> 01:06:18,441
She took the watch and the shaver.

1173
01:06:18,466 --> 01:06:20,545
She had access she has a motive...

1174
01:06:21,518 --> 01:06:23,959
in taking the shaver,
at least - to get DNA.

1175
01:06:23,984 --> 01:06:27,920
That would eat away at you - someone
denying your child was theirs.

1176
01:06:27,945 --> 01:06:31,913
So, what if she had the results
to the DNA test? lt's a positive.

1177
01:06:33,773 --> 01:06:35,902
But no one in the bookshop saw her.

1178

I mean what are the odds?

1179
01:06:38,255 --> 01:06:41,027
The building is a rabbit warren,
so it's risky,

1180
01:06:41,052 --> 01:06:43,111
but she's got a hell of a motive.

with Lindy, did you stay at home?

see that prick again?

Yeah, she said she didn't
take the razor; she did.

1244

She said she never saw Rudd
while he was here; she did.

1245
01:11:02,094 --> 01:11:04,066
So she could be
lying about this too.

1246
01:11:04,091 --> 01:11:05,682
Yeah, but how is that possible?

1247

and going without somebody...

Rudd was murdered, did you see anyone on the street?

Just yes or no.

Yes.

1253

1254
01:11:28,350 --> 01:11:30,779
well, she was a very
attractive wahine.

1255
01:11:32,781 --> 01:11:35,150
What was she doing?
Walking toward me.

And can you give us a description?

1257

say that she's hot?

1258

Well if she was, then, sure.

1259
01:11:42,197 --> 01:11:44,805
Nah, Iâm not gonna say that.
That's just demeaning.

1260

And, no, it was
more meaningful than that.

1261

Jared, we need... Nah, seriously,
she was walking towards me,

1262
01:11:50,785 --> 01:11:54,883

tall and tanned and all of that,

1263
01:11:56,599 --> 01:12:00,658
and I was thinking this could lead
to somewhere other than lpanema,

1264
01:12:00,739 --> 01:12:03,648
preferably somewhere local, you know?
And then?

1265
01:12:05,859 --> 01:12:09,623
Well, and then this van backed out
and just about bowled her over.

1266
01:12:09,648 --> 01:12:12,527

Nah. Didn't stop.

Yeah. Something, something 'Fresh'?

but my cousin from Hamilton.

there til she was gone,

01:21:35,521 --> 01:21:36,450
To university.

1388
01:21:40,514 --> 01:21:44,721
She told us she worked in the cafe.
Yeah. She had pink hair back then.

1389
01:21:46,143 --> 01:21:49,879
I never had the guts to talk to her,
but Jack didn't have that problem.

1390
01:21:49,904 --> 01:21:50,823
You liked her?

1391
01:21:51,897 --> 01:21:54,435
(CHUCKLES) But she
wasn't looking at me.

1392
01:21:54,506 --> 01:21:58,023
Then after a couple of months,
she wasn't there any more.

1393
01:21:58,371 --> 01:22:03,025
Did you know what had happened? The first
I knew about it was when I moved here.

1394
01:22:03,050 --> 01:22:08,086
I was boarding at Mrs Marlowe's place, and
Toni was living next door... with Lindy.

1395
01:22:08,136 --> 01:22:11,473
And that's when Toni told you?
I couldn't believe it.

1396
01:22:11,602 --> 01:22:14,030
I mean, it was completely
in character,

1397
01:22:14,522 --> 01:22:17,909
but what an idiot - to tum
your back on that, to deny it.

1398
01:22:20,152 --> 01:22:24,318
Was there any doubt in your mind?
No. The timing made complete sense.

1399
01:22:25,151 --> 01:22:28,019
You should've seen her when
she knew Jack was coming.

1400
01:22:28,044 --> 01:22:30,405
You should see him, Toni.
Confront him.

1401
01:22:30,430 --> 01:22:33,476
There's no point. He won't admit it.
He's got a moral duty.

1402
01:22:33,501 --> 01:22:35,314
He doesn't know the
meaning of that word.

1403
01:22:35,339 --> 01:22:38,556
But think. I know how hard
you work, but it is tough.

1404
01:22:39,550 --> 01:22:43,106
And Lindy is smart. She should
go to university, and he should

1405
01:22:43,131 --> 01:22:44,500
I know, but he won't.

1406
01:22:46,812 --> 01:22:48,481
So make him. Get the proof.

1407
01:22:49,924 --> 01:22:51,614
I didn't think she would,
but she did it.

1408
01:22:51,639 --> 01:22:53,078
And he still denied it.

1409
01:22:53,171 --> 01:22:55,660
Said he would fight her
every inch of the way.

1410
01:22:55,685 --> 01:22:56,844
It was disgusting.

1411
01:22:59,678 --> 01:23:02,676
What about Lindy?
Did she know about any of this?

1412
01:23:02,808 --> 01:23:06,385
A couple of days before the
reading at the end of school...

1413
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,260
I'm going to meet my dad!
Can you believe it?

1414
01:23:09,285 --> 01:23:12,492
I had to get her out of there.
It wasn't the place to talk.

1415
01:23:12,517 --> 01:23:14,752
You can't shut the door if you're in
a classroom with a student any more,

1416
01:23:14,777 --> 01:23:17,594
and with my history
I didn't want any gossip.

1417
01:23:19,147 --> 01:23:20,756
I took her to the estuary.

1418
01:23:21,026 --> 01:23:24,663
Do you think he'll know me?
Like, instantly, just feel it'?

1419
01:23:25,227 --> 01:23:28,444
Don't get your hopes up, Lindy.
Why? ls it not true?

1420
01:23:29,013 --> 01:23:31,121
No, no I'm sure it is, but-
What?

1421
01:23:33,494 --> 01:23:35,502
You don't know how he'll react.

1422
01:23:35,810 --> 01:23:37,638
But he'll want me, won't he?

1423
01:23:38,531 --> 01:23:40,609
I had this awful feeling about it,

1424
01:23:40,646 --> 01:23:43,024
but I didn't want
to trash her dreams.

1425
01:23:43,049 --> 01:23:45,347
And then on the night,
he was brutal.

Everything you've
been told is not true.

1427
01:23:48,432 --> 01:23:50,850
He just rubbed her
out and walked away.

1428
01:23:52,528 --> 01:23:53,847
It tore my heart out.
