Not yet.

Indeed. He's been
on edge all week.

21
00:00:53,924 --> 00:00:55,235
I'll be glad when it's over.

this a tearjerker?

I haven't seen it.

all anyone cares about.

everyone to sing along to.

00:07:03,776 --> 00:07:05,467
But what happened to Terry,

163
00:07:05,468 --> 00:07:08,780
it was just a freak
accident, right?

164
00:07:08,781 --> 00:07:09,886
We hope so.

165
00:07:11,577 --> 00:07:13,405
Are you suggesting foul play?

166
00:07:13,406 --> 00:07:15,684
We have to consider
all the angles.

167
00:07:15,685 --> 00:07:17,375
But um, why don't
you take a moment

168
00:07:17,376 --> 00:07:19,135
and then we'll get underway.

169
00:07:19,136 --> 00:07:20,516
Oh my goodness.

170
00:07:20,517 --> 00:07:23,762
[gentle somber music]

171
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:30,422
Terrence, uh, Mike,
well done on the show.

172
00:07:30,423 --> 00:07:35,187
It was, well, the Statue of
Liberty thing was unexpected.

173
00:07:36,568 --> 00:07:38,810
According to the lighting
technician, when she checked it,

174
00:07:38,811 --> 00:07:43,090
the light had its safety cable
attached to the lighting bar,

175
00:07:43,091 --> 00:07:45,610
designed to prevent
such accidents.

176
00:07:45,611 --> 00:07:47,923
But, clearly it didn't.

177
00:07:47,924 --> 00:07:49,545
Well, she swears she checked it.

178
00:07:49,546 --> 00:07:51,720
Okay, well let's
say she forgot to,

179
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:56,726
and the light, held here, somehow
dislodged itself and fell.

180
00:07:58,555 --> 00:08:01,868
What are the chances of it
falling directly over his head?

181
00:08:01,869 --> 00:08:03,317
I mean, a little to the
left or to the right

182
00:08:03,318 --> 00:08:04,387
and it would've just
knocked him over.

183
00:08:04,388 --> 00:08:06,735
But, this way [imitates crash].

184
00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:09,185
What was holding it up there?

185
00:08:09,186 --> 00:08:11,256
[Daniel] Power cord, maybe?

186
00:08:11,257 --> 00:08:12,741
Huh.

187
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:16,158
This X, and I can see several
others, what do they mean?

188
00:08:16,159 --> 00:08:18,609
The technician said
they're a guide

189
00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:20,369
for the actors to
know where to stand.

190
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:22,165
They glow in the dark.

191
00:08:23,718 --> 00:08:27,031
[Mike] A guide or a target?
What are the chances?

192
00:08:27,032 --> 00:08:28,515
And how?

193
00:08:28,516 --> 00:08:30,517
I mean, it's not like someone
could have waited up there

194
00:08:30,518 --> 00:08:32,692
to drop it on him.

195
00:08:32,693 --> 00:08:33,693
And why?

196
00:08:34,660 --> 00:08:37,905
Well, I mean the
songs were pretty bad.

197
00:08:39,251 --> 00:08:42,805
I've uh, called the coroner.
He's all yours, Gina.

198
00:08:42,806 --> 00:08:44,462
Thank you, Mike.

199
00:08:44,463 --> 00:08:47,603
You know I'm still processing
the fact that Captain Cook

200
00:08:47,604 --> 00:08:49,122
had no trousers.

201
00:08:49,123 --> 00:08:51,296
Did all British explorers
behave this way?

202
00:08:51,297 --> 00:08:54,058
Ah, only the famous ones.

203
00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:57,200
Well, that was uh,
rather harrowing.

204
00:09:00,617 --> 00:09:04,275
Not the celebration
you were hoping for.

205
00:09:04,276 --> 00:09:06,001
Not at all.

206
00:09:06,002 --> 00:09:07,899
You haven't seen Gray have you?

207
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:09,452
No.

208
00:09:09,453 --> 00:09:14,424
Ah. He left near the end of
the show, he'll be devastated.

209
00:09:15,149 --> 00:09:18,083
[camera shutter clicks]

210
00:09:20,982 --> 00:09:24,433
Yeah, no, I mean, I've always
been a song and dance man.

211
00:09:24,434 --> 00:09:26,815
Just never really had
an outlet to express it.

212
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:29,577
But now, well,
it's just my luck.

213
00:09:30,682 --> 00:09:31,923
Can you remember where you were

214
00:09:31,924 --> 00:09:35,099
just before
Mr. Weaver was killed?

215
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,171
I was in the wings waiting
to come back on as the tree.

216
00:09:38,172 --> 00:09:40,242
Yeah, but it was pretty
crazy back there.

217
00:09:40,243 --> 00:09:42,106
Um, Todd had lost the tail.

218
00:09:42,107 --> 00:09:43,348
The tail?

219
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:47,007
The tail to Crab
Shack Jenny's whale.

220
00:09:47,008 --> 00:09:48,043
Frodo.

221
00:09:48,044 --> 00:09:50,390
Stand by, Jason, in six.

222
00:09:50,391 --> 00:09:51,909
Frodo, where's the tail, man?

223
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:53,393
It's Sue's big reprise.

224
00:09:53,394 --> 00:09:54,877
Dude, I don't know where it is.

225
00:09:54,878 --> 00:09:56,949
Frodo! Find it, go. Go.

226
00:09:58,882 --> 00:09:59,917
Geez, mate, it's gonna look like

227
00:09:59,918 --> 00:10:01,608
she's wearing a giant sperm.

228
00:10:01,609 --> 00:10:03,610
? Length of sash for a
window to your soul ?

229
00:10:03,611 --> 00:10:07,510
? A length of sash to
twirl your heartstrings ?

230
00:10:07,511 --> 00:10:10,582
It was detachable, so we
could get it through the door.

231
00:10:10,583 --> 00:10:12,550
So, did you find
it? Uh, the tail?

232
00:10:12,551 --> 00:10:14,759
Yeah, yeah, it was
lying in the green room.

233
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,072
So, apart from some
last minute prop issues,

234
00:10:17,073 --> 00:10:21,317
did you notice anything
unexpected or unusual?

235
00:10:21,318 --> 00:10:22,318
No.

236
00:10:23,113 --> 00:10:24,907
Are you sure about that?

237
00:10:24,908 --> 00:10:25,908
Yeah.

238
00:10:26,841 --> 00:10:28,118
Okay, thanks.

239
00:10:29,257 --> 00:10:31,396
Oh, unless you
count the Jewish guy

240
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:33,847
hanging out in the corridor.

241
00:10:33,848 --> 00:10:35,607
- Jewish?
- Mm.

242
00:10:35,608 --> 00:10:37,161
How do you know he was Jewish?

243
00:10:37,162 --> 00:10:40,267
Oh, well, see they wear
particular clothes.

244
00:10:40,268 --> 00:10:44,306
Um, a hat, you know, crazy
curls. The the acidic ones.

245
00:10:44,307 --> 00:10:45,687
Hasidic?

246
00:10:45,688 --> 00:10:47,723
Yeah, I guess.

247
00:10:47,724 --> 00:10:50,692
? You know I can
see you, and not ?

248
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:52,486
Hey, you can't use
these toilets here.

249
00:10:52,487 --> 00:10:54,212
Use the ones out front.
There's a show on.

250
00:10:54,213 --> 00:10:57,457
Apologies to you, good sir.

251
00:10:57,458 --> 00:11:00,391
Here, let me help you. There.

252
00:11:00,392 --> 00:11:03,602
[audience applauding]

253
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:09,538
Good guy. Just lost, I guess.

254
00:11:09,539 --> 00:11:11,505
You sure he was
after the toilets?

255
00:11:11,506 --> 00:11:13,024
Why else would he be there?

256
00:11:13,025 --> 00:11:16,579
Sorry, boss. This
guy is insistent.

257
00:11:16,580 --> 00:11:18,547
My god, I've just
heard about Terry.

258
00:11:18,548 --> 00:11:19,445
Is it true?

259
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:21,136
Yeah, it is.

260
00:11:21,137 --> 00:11:24,554
Oh Frodo, you poor
boy. Did you see it?

261
00:11:27,108 --> 00:11:28,868
I take it you didn't
witness the event?

262
00:11:28,869 --> 00:11:31,422
No, I was outside. I
was trying to find him.

263
00:11:31,423 --> 00:11:34,321
I was trying to stop him
doing God knows what.

264
00:11:34,322 --> 00:11:37,566
Well, exactly. We
know now, don't we?

265
00:11:37,567 --> 00:11:38,740
Him?

266
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:39,638
Ralph.

267
00:11:39,638 --> 00:11:40,570
Ralph?

268
00:11:40,571 --> 00:11:42,433
Ralph St. John, detective.

269
00:11:42,434 --> 00:11:43,745
He's back in Brokenwood?

270
00:11:43,746 --> 00:11:45,540
Oh, surely you knew.

271
00:11:46,852 --> 00:11:50,959
Yes, he's back and he's
clearly left his mark.

272
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,445
[suspenseful music]

273
00:11:54,446 --> 00:11:58,518
[Daniel] So, who is
this Ralph St. John?

274
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:02,556
Mr. St. John was convicted of
the murder of a Ben Faulkner

275
00:12:02,557 --> 00:12:05,559
whilst partaking in a local
production of "Hamlet"

276
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:06,389
seven years ago.

277
00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:07,389
Stop!

278
00:12:08,460 --> 00:12:11,359
Everyone, please.
Really, must you?

279
00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:16,398
Your talking is
very distracting.

280
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,572
Apologies, Ralph.

281
00:12:18,573 --> 00:12:21,921
When I suggested you come,
it wasn't to be disruptive.

282
00:12:21,922 --> 00:12:23,301
That was not my intention.

283
00:12:23,302 --> 00:12:25,372
I appreciate you being
here, I really do.

284
00:12:25,373 --> 00:12:29,584
But please, as a courtesy,
be as quiet as you can.

285
00:12:30,793 --> 00:12:33,346
He was granted parole
just over two weeks ago

286
00:12:33,347 --> 00:12:35,969
and has reportedly been
seen in Brokenwood.

287
00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:37,729
Oh, more than just seen.

288
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:40,146
Sue, I'm gonna need you
to play the lightning tree

289
00:12:40,147 --> 00:12:41,664
in scene seven.

290
00:12:41,665 --> 00:12:44,875
[laughs] I'm not playing
a tree, Terrence, please.

291
00:12:44,876 --> 00:12:46,359
I could do it.

292
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,810
Frodo, your townsfolk four.
You gotta get the tree on.

293
00:12:48,811 --> 00:12:50,673
I'm getting changed at
that point, I believe.

294
00:12:50,674 --> 00:12:53,090
I think I'm already singing
when the tree is on.

295
00:12:53,091 --> 00:12:54,367
Me too.

296
00:12:54,368 --> 00:12:56,438
Okay, what if it was
like a really big tree,

297
00:12:56,439 --> 00:12:58,750
and I was in the tree?

298
00:12:58,751 --> 00:13:00,753
I shall play the tree.

299
00:13:05,966 --> 00:13:08,312
Remember Timothy, there
are no small parts,

300
00:13:08,313 --> 00:13:09,832
only small actors.

301
00:13:10,763 --> 00:13:12,799
Oh, hi, Ralph.

302
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,698
I mean, Ralph, wow. Hi.

303
00:13:16,631 --> 00:13:20,669
So, Terrence, what
other theatrical jewels

304
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:23,292
are in need of fulfilling?

305
00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:26,088
But Ralph, you can't sing.

306
00:13:26,089 --> 00:13:27,745
Can't sing?

307
00:13:27,746 --> 00:13:29,230
Out. Come along.

308
00:13:30,093 --> 00:13:31,162
[Ralph grunts]

309
00:13:31,163 --> 00:13:32,784
We warned you about coming here.

310
00:13:32,785 --> 00:13:34,545
There's no way in hell
that Terry will have you

311
00:13:34,546 --> 00:13:35,650
in this show.

312
00:13:36,513 --> 00:13:38,999
[tense music]

313
00:13:41,311 --> 00:13:43,278
He wanted to be in the play.

314
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:44,762
My god, that is brazen.

315
00:13:44,763 --> 00:13:48,559
Hence, according to Gray
Jenkins, he came in disguise.

316
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,941
? Brokenwood, Brokenwood

317
00:13:50,942 --> 00:13:54,668
? Oh so good, they
almost named it twice ?

318
00:13:54,669 --> 00:13:59,640
? Brokenwood, so they could,
they almost named it twice ?

319
00:14:00,434 --> 00:14:02,538
[audience applauds]

320
00:14:02,539 --> 00:14:06,473
Dressed as his Shylock.
Oh, ridiculous.

321
00:14:06,474 --> 00:14:07,819
Shylock?

322
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:09,994
Mm, from the
"Merchant of Venice."

323
00:14:09,995 --> 00:14:14,654
Shakespeare, a distasteful
work if you ask me.

324
00:14:14,655 --> 00:14:16,759
And you followed him backstage?

325
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,934
Yes. God knows
what he was up to.

326
00:14:18,935 --> 00:14:20,418
And did you confront him?

327
00:14:20,419 --> 00:14:22,593
[sighs] I couldn't find him.

328
00:14:22,594 --> 00:14:24,250
? So long, Brokenwood

329
00:14:24,251 --> 00:14:27,667
[Gray] He was
nowhere to be seen.

330
00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:32,051
? Guitar and a song about the
small town that I'm from ?

331
00:14:32,052 --> 00:14:33,776
Hey, have you seen Ralph?

332
00:14:33,777 --> 00:14:35,640
What? We're busy here, mate?

333
00:14:35,641 --> 00:14:37,712
- Stick it on.
- Oh, okay.

334
00:14:39,128 --> 00:14:41,474
Hey, hey, have you seen Ralph?

335
00:14:41,475 --> 00:14:42,475
No.

336
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,721
[Mike] So you never actually
saw Ralph backstage?

337
00:14:47,722 --> 00:14:49,931
[Gray] Oh, look, no.

338
00:14:49,932 --> 00:14:52,174
[Mike] So, how can you
be sure it was him?

339
00:14:52,175 --> 00:14:54,936
I, I kept looking for
him everywhere and, and,

340
00:14:54,937 --> 00:14:57,836
and then eventually
I went outside.

341
00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:00,942
Ralph?

342
00:15:01,944 --> 00:15:03,047
Ralph?

343
00:15:03,048 --> 00:15:06,051
[suspenseful music]

344
00:15:07,984 --> 00:15:09,226
[Mike] And it was Ralph?

345
00:15:09,227 --> 00:15:11,780
Who else could it be?

346
00:15:11,781 --> 00:15:14,369
So we only have
Gray's word on that?

347
00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:16,958
[Mike] Yes, Although Frodo
did see someone earlier

348
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:18,235
matching the description.

349
00:15:18,236 --> 00:15:20,341
Let me help you. There.

350
00:15:21,756 --> 00:15:24,310
Locate Mr. St. John, see
what he's got to say.

351
00:15:24,311 --> 00:15:25,587
Well, according to this,

352
00:15:25,588 --> 00:15:30,350
he resides at a halfway
house in Telemore Close.

353
00:15:30,351 --> 00:15:32,904
What else do we know
about the victim?

354
00:15:32,905 --> 00:15:35,839
Terrence L. Weaver,
45 years old.

355
00:15:36,875 --> 00:15:39,808
Local, single,
playwright and composer.

356
00:15:39,809 --> 00:15:40,982
As far as I could make out,

357
00:15:40,983 --> 00:15:42,052
he's written a
whole bunch of stuff

358
00:15:42,053 --> 00:15:43,432
that no one wanted to see,

359
00:15:43,433 --> 00:15:46,504
but he seems well-respected
by his peers.

360
00:15:46,505 --> 00:15:50,992
So, in summary, talented guy
killed by a falling light.

361
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:54,029
Talent is in the ear of
the beholder, my friend.

362
00:15:54,030 --> 00:15:55,997
That show was bad.

363
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:57,239
And if the light
didn't kill him,

364
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,930
the reviews probably would've.

365
00:15:58,931 --> 00:16:02,417
But that light didn't
just fall, it was dropped.

366
00:16:02,418 --> 00:16:04,798
[Kristin clears throat]

367
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:08,423
[gentle acoustic guitar music]

368
00:16:08,424 --> 00:16:12,047
This is a routine case of
electrocution via the cranium.

369
00:16:12,048 --> 00:16:13,393
Of course, it's not very often

370
00:16:13,394 --> 00:16:15,568
I get to witness
the moment of death.

371
00:16:15,569 --> 00:16:18,295
It adds another level of
satisfaction to my work.

372
00:16:18,296 --> 00:16:19,986
And that's it?

373
00:16:19,987 --> 00:16:22,472
There was one curious thing.

374
00:16:23,991 --> 00:16:25,578
Electrical burns?

375
00:16:25,579 --> 00:16:28,892
Not electrical,
friction. A rope burn.

376
00:16:30,239 --> 00:16:31,963
I found fibers in the skin.

377
00:16:31,964 --> 00:16:33,413
Synthetic of some kind,

378
00:16:33,414 --> 00:16:36,313
but not matching the
sheets of his costume.

379
00:16:36,314 --> 00:16:39,005
Could they be historical?

380
00:16:39,006 --> 00:16:40,351
No sign of healing.

381
00:16:40,352 --> 00:16:41,663
They were made within moments,

382
00:16:41,664 --> 00:16:44,286
either before or
after his death.

383
00:16:44,287 --> 00:16:46,254
How wide would you say they are?

384
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:47,531
Three millimeters.

385
00:16:47,532 --> 00:16:49,429
I will arrange for
you some samples,

386
00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:52,122
but I did think
perhaps as he fell,

387
00:16:52,123 --> 00:16:55,367
he got his arm caught
in his shoelaces.

388
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:58,128
Shoelaces?

389
00:16:58,129 --> 00:16:59,750
But only if he tied them
with a very big bow.

390
00:16:59,751 --> 00:17:04,237
And trust me, I tried many
times and had no luck.

391
00:17:04,238 --> 00:17:07,138
It's a bit like
that game, Twister.

392
00:17:09,071 --> 00:17:10,416
Would you like to try?

393
00:17:10,417 --> 00:17:11,831
Thanks, Gina.

394
00:17:11,832 --> 00:17:15,386
[gentle acoustic guitar music]

395
00:17:15,387 --> 00:17:16,663
[Gina sighs]

396
00:17:16,664 --> 00:17:17,837
What'd you get up to last night?

397
00:17:17,838 --> 00:17:19,632
Oh, I went to a restaurant.

398
00:17:19,633 --> 00:17:21,737
Oh, yeah? Who with?

399
00:17:21,738 --> 00:17:23,084
No one.

400
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:24,085
Wait, you went alone?

401
00:17:24,086 --> 00:17:25,603
As a matter of fact, yes.

402
00:17:25,604 --> 00:17:30,575
[chuckles] Since we did
you become Nigel No Mates?

403
00:17:31,438 --> 00:17:33,509
Since I went on a date and...

404
00:17:35,580 --> 00:17:37,685
And, she was a no-show?

405
00:17:40,861 --> 00:17:43,173
So she does have a name.

406
00:17:43,174 --> 00:17:45,347
Go on, spill. Who is she?

407
00:17:45,348 --> 00:17:46,348
Missy.

408
00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:51,388
Missy Torhadorah, that
water quality agent.

409
00:17:51,389 --> 00:17:52,389
Yeah.

410
00:17:54,116 --> 00:17:55,186
First date?

411
00:17:57,636 --> 00:17:58,912
Well so, what's her problem?

412
00:17:58,913 --> 00:18:01,985
She said something
come up last minute.

413
00:18:02,917 --> 00:18:05,885
Seems like bit of a flake.

414
00:18:05,886 --> 00:18:08,060
Dodged a bullet, I reckon.

415
00:18:09,407 --> 00:18:14,274
Hey, Mike, Ralph St. John isn't
at his designated address.

416
00:18:15,447 --> 00:18:16,758
Yeah, the caretaker says
he goes out most days,

417
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,416
but unsure as to where.

418
00:18:19,417 --> 00:18:21,764
No, stuff's all here though.

419
00:18:24,801 --> 00:18:28,183
The type of light used
is the same as this one,

420
00:18:28,184 --> 00:18:31,462
used in this case as a special.

421
00:18:31,463 --> 00:18:34,155
It gives the actor
an ethereal look.

422
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:37,917
If it was dislodged, it
would've swayed or shunted,

423
00:18:37,918 --> 00:18:39,574
disrupting the light beam.

424
00:18:39,575 --> 00:18:41,162
But it didn't, right?

425
00:18:41,163 --> 00:18:42,715
It fell straight down.

426
00:18:42,716 --> 00:18:45,269
[light clatters]
[electricity buzzes]

427
00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:47,375
[light thuds]

428
00:18:47,376 --> 00:18:49,515
Must be eight kilos at least.

429
00:18:49,516 --> 00:18:52,966
And, it had to be suspended
by something not obvious

430
00:18:52,967 --> 00:18:54,761
to the naked eye of
the lighting technician

431
00:18:54,762 --> 00:18:57,938
when she did her
final, cursory check.

432
00:18:59,457 --> 00:19:02,184
And, affixed
somewhere backstage.

433
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:06,739
[Daniel] Meaning
only those backstage

434
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:08,741
could have triggered it.

435
00:19:08,742 --> 00:19:10,468
A sort of Damocles.

436
00:19:11,745 --> 00:19:13,263
What?

437
00:19:13,264 --> 00:19:16,266
The emperor Damocles
was a powerful man,

438
00:19:16,267 --> 00:19:18,647
sat on his throne,
and all the while

439
00:19:18,648 --> 00:19:21,788
the gods had hung a sword
just directly above his head,

440
00:19:21,789 --> 00:19:24,653
suspended only by a
single thread of silk.

441
00:19:24,654 --> 00:19:28,623
And if he ever got above his
station, the sword would fall.

442
00:19:28,624 --> 00:19:30,694
Uh, in this case, not silk.

443
00:19:30,695 --> 00:19:34,318
Uh, Gina has found traces
of a synthetic fiber

444
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:38,288
and a three millimeter
flesh wound on the victim.

445
00:19:38,289 --> 00:19:40,048
All of this can give rope burns

446
00:19:40,049 --> 00:19:42,499
matching the victim's wound.

447
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,949
But the fibers were
of an earthy color.

448
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:49,196
So I narrowed it down to
three. Sample A, D, and G.

449
00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:51,439
Mm.

450
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,716
Whichever it is, it had
to be easily released

451
00:19:52,717 --> 00:19:55,443
and then tidied away
in a matter of seconds.

452
00:19:55,444 --> 00:19:57,203
I've got SSG looking
for something

453
00:19:57,204 --> 00:20:01,242
30 meters and no more than
five millimeters wide.

454
00:20:01,243 --> 00:20:02,243
Fishing line.

455
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:04,141
Nylon has no fiber.

456
00:20:04,142 --> 00:20:06,833
Trout fishing line
does, find braid.

457
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:10,423
Probably has a 20 kg
breaking strain, at least.

458
00:20:10,424 --> 00:20:12,149
It's near invisible
to the naked eye.

459
00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:13,082
[phone rings]

460
00:20:13,083 --> 00:20:15,980
Light drops, theater goes dark,

461
00:20:15,981 --> 00:20:17,637
it gets reeled up.

462
00:20:17,638 --> 00:20:21,123
Crab Shack Jenny had
a fishing rod, right?

463
00:20:21,124 --> 00:20:23,333
? Settle the town of
Crab Shack Jenny's ?

464
00:20:23,334 --> 00:20:25,162
? The best fish in town

465
00:20:25,163 --> 00:20:28,993
Then, there was that terrible
song in the first act

466
00:20:28,994 --> 00:20:31,686
about wooden joineries?

467
00:20:31,687 --> 00:20:35,068
? You know I can see you,
and lots of other things ?

468
00:20:35,069 --> 00:20:38,175
He had a coil of sash
cords. ? In Brokenwood

469
00:20:38,176 --> 00:20:40,384
And then when he
came back on stage...

470
00:20:40,385 --> 00:20:41,868
Turn the lights up.

471
00:20:41,869 --> 00:20:44,285
Where's the lights? I
can't see anything. Lights.

472
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:45,320
It was gone.

473
00:20:45,321 --> 00:20:46,321
Sash cord.

474
00:20:48,704 --> 00:20:50,877
Uh, that was Ralph's
probation officer.

475
00:20:50,878 --> 00:20:53,086
We should find him at
the Snake and Tiger.

476
00:20:53,087 --> 00:20:55,019
Drowning his murderous sorrows.

477
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,607
Not drinking.

478
00:20:56,608 --> 00:21:00,680
Trudy Neilson Judy Nielsen
has given him a job there.

Yeah, Ralph works here
doing community service.

here? Please.

482

00:21:08,689 --> 00:21:11,451
[patrons murmur]

484
00:21:13,142 --> 00:21:16,696
After a lonely period
of deep reflection,

485
00:21:16,697 --> 00:21:18,871
I've come to understand
that it's my calling

486
00:21:18,872 --> 00:21:21,323
to educate the great unwashed

487
00:21:22,703 --> 00:21:26,914
that language, and only
language can heal and unite.

488
00:21:29,331 --> 00:21:31,436
Yes. Yes, you're right.

489
00:21:32,989 --> 00:21:36,061
This is from his
probation officer.

490
00:21:38,374 --> 00:21:41,342
Mr. St. John's continued
efforts to pursue, share,

491
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:44,241
and educate society, and the
messages of love, insight,

492
00:21:44,242 --> 00:21:46,450
and compassion found
within a Shakespearean text

493
00:21:46,451 --> 00:21:48,072
will be credited as contributing

494
00:21:48,073 --> 00:21:51,490
to the betterment
of society, wow.

495
00:21:51,491 --> 00:21:52,870
Read it all now.

496
00:21:52,871 --> 00:21:55,942
Lunchtime entertainment.
No harm in it.

497
00:21:55,943 --> 00:21:57,841
Torturous Shakespeare
recitations.

498
00:21:57,842 --> 00:22:00,533
I may not give a rats about
these arty-farty types,

499
00:22:00,534 --> 00:22:03,364
but I do care about
second chances.

500
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:05,711
While, you're a fine
example of that, Trudy.

501
00:22:05,712 --> 00:22:07,229
Thanks.

502
00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:09,887
So I'm happy to extend
that generosity.

503
00:22:09,888 --> 00:22:11,441
See for yourself,
he'll be here at two.

504
00:22:11,442 --> 00:22:13,166
I thought you said lunchtime.

505
00:22:13,167 --> 00:22:14,789
At my busiest.

506
00:22:14,790 --> 00:22:17,378
I may be generous,
but I'm not stupid.

507
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:20,208
2:00 PM there are bugger all
people he can frighten off.

508
00:22:20,209 --> 00:22:24,178
[relaxed acoustic guitar music]

509
00:22:37,778 --> 00:22:38,813
Champagne, detective?

510
00:22:38,814 --> 00:22:39,642
Tempting.

511
00:22:39,642 --> 00:22:40,609
Oh, go on.

512
00:22:40,610 --> 00:22:41,850
No, no, but, no.

513
00:22:41,851 --> 00:22:45,060
[sighs] Well, don't
mind me. [clears throat]

514
00:22:45,061 --> 00:22:47,925
You and Terrence
Weaver were close.

515
00:22:47,926 --> 00:22:49,789
Oh, we go way back.

516
00:22:49,790 --> 00:22:51,412
Such a bright young thing.

517
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:53,310
So when he gave him the call
and I just happened to have

518
00:22:53,311 --> 00:22:55,346
a gap in my schedule...

519
00:22:55,347 --> 00:22:56,210
Oh.

520
00:22:56,211 --> 00:22:57,902
How could I refuse?

521
00:22:59,179 --> 00:23:01,525
All right everybody,
let's get started.

522
00:23:01,526 --> 00:23:03,148
Please take a seat.

523
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:09,016
While we wait for Miss Fontaine,
please study your parts.

524
00:23:09,741 --> 00:23:11,087
Vicky, Settler Janet.

525
00:23:12,330 --> 00:23:13,537
But I thought Sue...

526
00:23:13,538 --> 00:23:15,436
Sue's not here.

527
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:20,095
Mr. Taylor, you shall play
Chief Pudacko, townsfolk one,

528
00:23:20,096 --> 00:23:22,373
and Mr. Crippen the haberdasher.

529
00:23:22,374 --> 00:23:23,374
Choice.

530
00:23:24,273 --> 00:23:25,860
What's a haberdasher?

531
00:23:25,861 --> 00:23:27,378
He sells menswear.

532
00:23:27,379 --> 00:23:28,897
Ah, okay.

533
00:23:28,898 --> 00:23:32,383
Timothy, you are Settler
John the carpenter,

534
00:23:32,384 --> 00:23:34,869
townsfolk three, and
pirate Nathaniel.

535
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:37,665
[laughs] Amazing. Uh, thanks.

536
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:41,566
Roger, townsfolk two,
and Captain James Cook.

537
00:23:42,878 --> 00:23:45,673
Marvelous [laughs],
such an honor.

538
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:47,916
Frodo, we'll find
something for you.

539
00:23:47,917 --> 00:23:51,852
Right, let us begin with
"A Tree Made of Wood."

540
00:23:53,302 --> 00:23:54,302
Here's your notes.

541
00:23:54,303 --> 00:23:56,649
[piano chord]

542
00:23:56,650 --> 00:23:59,514
? I see a tree, a
tree that is broken ?

543
00:23:59,515 --> 00:24:02,275
? Must be the tree of
which I had spoken ?

544
00:24:02,276 --> 00:24:03,656
? A tree is made of

545
00:24:03,657 --> 00:24:06,867
Apologies, my lovelies.
So sorry I'm late.

546
00:24:09,801 --> 00:24:11,940
Here she is. Better
late than never.

547
00:24:11,941 --> 00:24:13,184
Your part, Sue.

548
00:24:16,014 --> 00:24:19,742
Crab Shack Jenny. [laughs]

549
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:23,020
I understand you've
performed on Broadway.

550
00:24:23,021 --> 00:24:24,470
Well off Broadway, yes.

551
00:24:24,471 --> 00:24:25,575
And the West End.

552
00:24:25,576 --> 00:24:27,680
Around the West End, yes.

553
00:24:27,681 --> 00:24:29,371
You're a fan of
musicals, Mr. Shepherd.

554
00:24:29,372 --> 00:24:32,651
Ah, country music
is more my thing.

555
00:24:32,652 --> 00:24:34,445
You never said what you
thought of the show.

556
00:24:34,446 --> 00:24:37,656
Ah, well I haven't
been to Broadway, so.

557
00:24:37,657 --> 00:24:38,657
You don't need to go to Broadway

558
00:24:38,658 --> 00:24:40,313
to know it was a
dog's breakfast.

559
00:24:40,314 --> 00:24:42,902
Uh, it did seem like it was
trying to cover all bases

560
00:24:42,903 --> 00:24:44,905
of the musical spectrum.

561
00:24:46,389 --> 00:24:48,011
I'm sure Terry would've
been pleased to hear that.

562
00:24:48,012 --> 00:24:49,115
Why?

563
00:24:49,116 --> 00:24:50,669
Terry had a vision.

564
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:53,050
"Brokenwood" is about
the hopes and dreams

565
00:24:53,051 --> 00:24:57,020
of any small town, and
Crab Shack Jenny...

566
00:24:57,021 --> 00:24:59,505
Sounds like a woman who
has issues with crabs.

567
00:24:59,506 --> 00:25:00,576
No, no, no.

568
00:25:02,509 --> 00:25:05,511
Shipwrecked, nothing
but a fishing rod.

569
00:25:05,512 --> 00:25:09,480
She sets up shop on the beach
to sell her fish-based meals.

570
00:25:09,481 --> 00:25:11,690
Jenny's a survivor.

571
00:25:11,691 --> 00:25:13,762
She's a, a businesswoman.

572
00:25:15,004 --> 00:25:19,318
Sue, you're about to
become a feminist icon.

573
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:22,459
He could talk anyone
into anything.

574
00:25:22,460 --> 00:25:24,081
Feminist icon?

575
00:25:24,082 --> 00:25:25,807
Mm, that was Terry,

576
00:25:25,808 --> 00:25:29,397
always over promised
and underdelivered.

577
00:25:29,398 --> 00:25:33,057
But his sheer enthusiasm
could be seductive.

578
00:25:34,921 --> 00:25:37,405
Uh, your uh, prop,
the uh, fishing rod,

579
00:25:37,406 --> 00:25:39,890
um, as I recall it
had no line in it.

580
00:25:39,891 --> 00:25:42,134
? Cast my line, reel in a car

581
00:25:42,135 --> 00:25:44,930
? Take a loaf and a fish,
maybe a crab or a dog ?

582
00:25:44,931 --> 00:25:47,139
A fishing line on
stage is a hazard.

583
00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:49,555
It gets tangled and the next
minute you're [indistinct].

584
00:25:49,556 --> 00:25:53,421
Yeah, but after the show, the
reel had fishing line on it.

585
00:25:53,422 --> 00:25:54,905
How very observant of you.

586
00:25:54,906 --> 00:25:56,252
That's my job.

587
00:25:57,426 --> 00:25:59,427
I guess I knew
the show was over.

588
00:25:59,428 --> 00:26:01,844
Putting things back together.

589
00:26:03,121 --> 00:26:05,053
I was in a daze, to be honest.

590
00:26:05,054 --> 00:26:07,608
Yeah, during the show
where was the line kept?

591
00:26:07,609 --> 00:26:08,712
In my dressing room.

592
00:26:08,713 --> 00:26:11,473
Uh, we couldn't locate
it at the theater.

593
00:26:11,474 --> 00:26:14,511
It's my own, I thought it
would be a nice personal touch.

594
00:26:14,512 --> 00:26:15,995
I brought it home.

595
00:26:15,996 --> 00:26:18,480
Would you mind if I took
it away to be examined?

596
00:26:18,481 --> 00:26:19,723
Why?

597
00:26:19,724 --> 00:26:23,175
So we can eliminate
it from our inquiries.

598
00:26:23,176 --> 00:26:25,280
What has fishing line got
to do with Terry's death?

599
00:26:25,281 --> 00:26:26,938
Hopefully nothing.

600
00:26:29,389 --> 00:26:31,977
It was my grandfather's.

601
00:26:31,978 --> 00:26:34,049
It was a family heirloom.

602
00:26:36,983 --> 00:26:37,983
I expect it back.

603
00:26:37,984 --> 00:26:39,330
Uh, of course.

604
00:26:41,090 --> 00:26:43,333
And when Terry was
struck by the light,

605
00:26:43,334 --> 00:26:44,852
can you remember where you were?

606
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:46,785
I was on stage.

607
00:26:46,786 --> 00:26:49,822
Was it offstage? Side
stage? I'm not sure.

608
00:26:49,823 --> 00:26:53,136
It was all about Roger
Plumber's lost trousers.

609
00:26:53,137 --> 00:26:55,000
[sighs] Such amateurs.

610
00:26:55,001 --> 00:26:59,280
[gentle acoustic guitar music]

611
00:26:59,281 --> 00:27:01,627
[Roger] We were debriefing
on what happened last night.

612
00:27:01,628 --> 00:27:02,628
Still in shock.

613
00:27:02,629 --> 00:27:05,079
Once again, my sympathies.

614
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,529
Still, it's, it's good to see
you with your trousers on,

615
00:27:07,530 --> 00:27:08,738
at least.

616
00:27:08,739 --> 00:27:10,256
Don't remind me.
So humiliating.

617
00:27:10,257 --> 00:27:12,776
Don't know, Captain Cook
caught with his pants down.

618
00:27:12,777 --> 00:27:14,813
It's a metaphor for
something, I'm sure.

619
00:27:14,814 --> 00:27:16,366
Lucas please, a man died.

620
00:27:16,367 --> 00:27:18,851
But not because you lost your
pants, I keep telling you.

621
00:27:18,852 --> 00:27:21,336
So it, it wasn't
intentional then?

622
00:27:21,337 --> 00:27:22,924
Oh, good heavens no.

623
00:27:22,925 --> 00:27:25,686
[Roger panting quickly]

624
00:27:25,687 --> 00:27:28,033
[Roger grumbles]

625
00:27:28,034 --> 00:27:31,553
I was changing from townsfolk
two back into James Cook.

626
00:27:31,554 --> 00:27:34,004
It was a very quick turnaround.

627
00:27:34,005 --> 00:27:37,594
[woman sings indistinctly
in background]

628
00:27:37,595 --> 00:27:38,527
Was probably for
blankets and muskets

629
00:27:38,528 --> 00:27:40,631
and barrels of rum, whoo!

630
00:27:40,632 --> 00:27:41,599
Whoo.

631
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,841
? How my husband has felt

632
00:27:42,842 --> 00:27:45,222
I got side stage
and then I realized

633
00:27:45,223 --> 00:27:47,638
I'd completely forgotten
my trousers, but...

634
00:27:47,639 --> 00:27:49,330
Oh, my god.

635
00:27:49,331 --> 00:27:50,814
Was a terrible case
of first-night nerves.

636
00:27:50,815 --> 00:27:53,265
So you were on the left
hand side of the stage?

637
00:27:53,266 --> 00:27:56,509
Stage left, yes. With
uh, with Sue and Timothy.

638
00:27:56,510 --> 00:28:00,065
And did you happen to
see anyone lurking around

639
00:28:00,066 --> 00:28:01,514
that perhaps shouldn't
have been there?

640
00:28:01,515 --> 00:28:03,482
Honestly, I couldn't tell
you where anybody was.

641
00:28:03,483 --> 00:28:05,967
It was all about the trousers.

642
00:28:05,968 --> 00:28:07,762
Uh, Vicky, where were you?

643
00:28:07,763 --> 00:28:11,697
I was stage right with Terry
just before he went on.

644
00:28:11,698 --> 00:28:14,527
? Wine and honey,
God and Moses ?

645
00:28:14,528 --> 00:28:16,944
What the hell is
that idiot doing?

646
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:18,462
Sorry, Roger.

647
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:20,499
No, he had every right.

648
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:21,363
Here.

649
00:28:21,364 --> 00:28:22,535
- Oh, thank you.
- Vicky.

650
00:28:22,536 --> 00:28:25,124
Sorry, I've gotta get back.

651
00:28:25,125 --> 00:28:27,644
I have to get back
to work anyway.

652
00:28:27,645 --> 00:28:28,645
Lucas.

653
00:28:30,579 --> 00:28:32,131
Mind if I uh, take a seat?

654
00:28:32,132 --> 00:28:34,547
Uh, should I get a lawyer?

655
00:28:34,548 --> 00:28:35,997
Why?

656
00:28:35,998 --> 00:28:37,550
Just you're a detective and
when you ask me questions,

657
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:40,243
I can't have feeling that
I've done something wrong.

658
00:28:40,244 --> 00:28:43,177
Have you done something wrong?

659
00:28:43,178 --> 00:28:44,385
I don't think so.

660
00:28:44,386 --> 00:28:47,043
Well then you
should be all good.

661
00:28:47,044 --> 00:28:50,529
Well, firstly, I didn't know
you were into musicals, Todd.

662
00:28:50,530 --> 00:28:52,773
Offered to play Chief Pudacko
in an historical epic.

663
00:28:52,774 --> 00:28:55,258
Wow. Couldn't turn that down.

664
00:28:55,259 --> 00:28:59,365
Right, yeah, the um, the
bald headed eagle man.

665
00:28:59,366 --> 00:29:01,885
Yeah, okay. That part
isn't quite accurate.

666
00:29:01,886 --> 00:29:03,266
But Terry said it didn't matter.

667
00:29:03,267 --> 00:29:04,957
[Terry] Chief Pudacker.

668
00:29:04,958 --> 00:29:09,617
? Circling the skies,
I'm a baldheaded eagle ?

669
00:29:09,618 --> 00:29:11,757
? Looking for a place to land

670
00:29:11,758 --> 00:29:14,104
? I land for all my people

671
00:29:14,105 --> 00:29:16,279
? I land for freedom,
in God we trust ?

672
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,384
? The home of the brave
and that's a must ?

673
00:29:18,385 --> 00:29:20,421
? I'm circling the skies

674
00:29:20,422 --> 00:29:24,080
? I'm a bald-headed eagle, ah

675
00:29:24,081 --> 00:29:26,047
That is great. That's great.

676
00:29:26,048 --> 00:29:27,738
I would just go more.

677
00:29:27,739 --> 00:29:29,395
Sorry, Terry, look um,

678
00:29:29,396 --> 00:29:31,190
I was talking to
our cultural advisor

679
00:29:31,191 --> 00:29:32,813
and she said that Chief Pudacker

680
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:34,849
didn't actually
arrive on an eagle.

681
00:29:34,850 --> 00:29:37,162
It was just a wuaka,
a canoe, you know?

682
00:29:37,163 --> 00:29:38,404
So, maybe we should uh,

683
00:29:38,405 --> 00:29:40,372
It doesn't matter.

684
00:29:40,373 --> 00:29:42,788
Well, it kinda does.

685
00:29:42,789 --> 00:29:43,996
Sure, sure.

686
00:29:43,997 --> 00:29:45,998
Uh, well, we've
gotta think about

687
00:29:45,999 --> 00:29:48,794
our international
audiences, don't we?

688
00:29:48,795 --> 00:29:51,383
What do international audiences
know about New Zealand?

689
00:29:51,384 --> 00:29:52,625
"Lord of the Rings"
and kiwi fruit.

690
00:29:52,626 --> 00:29:53,834
[both chuckle]

691
00:29:53,835 --> 00:29:55,180
So, do you wanna
dress up as an elf?

692
00:29:55,181 --> 00:29:56,078
Oh, no.

693
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:57,320
Or a big, fury kiwi fruit.

694
00:29:57,321 --> 00:29:58,322
- But.
- But.

695
00:29:59,530 --> 00:30:02,188
The back of a bald-headed eagle,

696
00:30:03,361 --> 00:30:06,468
now that's a
showstopper right there.

697
00:30:09,333 --> 00:30:10,920
From the top.

698
00:30:10,921 --> 00:30:14,406
I just didn't wanna
play an elf, you know?

699
00:30:14,407 --> 00:30:15,925
Mm.

700
00:30:15,926 --> 00:30:18,651
At the beginning
of the performance,

701
00:30:18,652 --> 00:30:21,654
there was an announcement
that Terry Weaver

702
00:30:21,655 --> 00:30:24,140
would be playing the part
of the Statue of Liberty.

703
00:30:24,141 --> 00:30:25,141
Yep.

704
00:30:26,143 --> 00:30:28,903
So, who was meant
to play that part?

705
00:30:28,904 --> 00:30:30,215
Why?

706
00:30:30,216 --> 00:30:31,872
Well, because clearly
it wasn't Terry.

707
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:35,530
And, as a detective,
I can't help wondering

708
00:30:35,531 --> 00:30:37,015
if whoever was meant
to play that part

709
00:30:37,016 --> 00:30:39,603
would've met the same fate.

710
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:43,297
Would it be fair to say that
you have a suspicious mind?

711
00:30:43,298 --> 00:30:45,783
More professionally curious.

712
00:30:47,267 --> 00:30:50,305
Okay. Well this
can't come from me.

713
00:30:52,341 --> 00:30:54,170
Well, it's hardly
a secret because I,

714
00:30:54,171 --> 00:30:56,724
I could have asked anyone
else in the cast, right?

715
00:30:56,725 --> 00:30:57,725
True.

716
00:30:58,485 --> 00:31:00,038
Okay.

717
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,868
She was our cultural advisor
and a really great singer.

718
00:31:02,869 --> 00:31:07,700
And this cultural advisor
couldn't play the part because?

719
00:31:07,701 --> 00:31:10,255
She had a bit of a
falling out with Terry.

720
00:31:10,256 --> 00:31:14,845
Walk out on me and you'll
never work in this town again.

721
00:31:14,846 --> 00:31:17,538
And does this
person have a name?

722
00:31:17,539 --> 00:31:19,022
She does.

723
00:31:19,023 --> 00:31:22,508
The Statue of Liberty is
the whole point of the show.

724
00:31:22,509 --> 00:31:24,063
You want it? Hmm.

725
00:31:26,134 --> 00:31:28,584
Why don't you do it yourself?

726
00:31:30,932 --> 00:31:31,829
Go to hell, Missy!

727
00:31:31,830 --> 00:31:33,934
[chair clatters]

728
00:31:33,935 --> 00:31:34,797
[deep tense music]

729
00:31:34,798 --> 00:31:37,868
[Missy scoffs]

730
00:31:37,869 --> 00:31:38,869
Missy?

731
00:31:39,561 --> 00:31:40,561
You know her?

732
00:31:40,562 --> 00:31:41,528
When was this?

733
00:31:41,529 --> 00:31:42,839
Oh no, I can't say anymore.

734
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:43,840
Todd.

735
00:31:44,876 --> 00:31:46,532
It was the day before yesterday.

736
00:31:46,533 --> 00:31:50,088
[deep tense music]

737
00:31:50,089 --> 00:31:52,883
There's one other person
missing in action.

738
00:31:52,884 --> 00:31:54,023
Missy Torhordor.

739
00:31:54,024 --> 00:31:55,610
The water quality girl.

740
00:31:55,611 --> 00:31:57,095
What?

741
00:31:57,096 --> 00:31:59,442
She had the role of cultural
advisor on the production,

742
00:31:59,443 --> 00:32:01,340
but had a massive falling
out with Terrence Weaver

743
00:32:01,341 --> 00:32:02,928
the day before he died.

744
00:32:02,929 --> 00:32:05,586
So it would be useful
to have her whereabouts

745
00:32:05,587 --> 00:32:06,587
at the time of death.

746
00:32:06,588 --> 00:32:07,968
Come on.

747
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:12,558
Clearly, she wasn't at
a certain restaurant.

748
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:14,284
Am I missing something here?

749
00:32:14,285 --> 00:32:15,768
Well, she was meant to
hook up with Chalmers,

750
00:32:15,769 --> 00:32:16,977
but never showed.

751
00:32:16,978 --> 00:32:19,324
It was the first date.
There's no history.

752
00:32:19,325 --> 00:32:23,674
Let me give her a call. May
be a simple explanation.

753
00:32:25,848 --> 00:32:27,435
[Missy] Missy here,
leave a message.

754
00:32:27,436 --> 00:32:28,989
It's Daniel.

755
00:32:28,990 --> 00:32:33,303
I was wondering if you could
give me a call asap. Thanks.

756
00:32:33,304 --> 00:32:35,478
She could be working up
the river, no reception.

757
00:32:35,479 --> 00:32:37,998
Maybe you should
uh, pay her a visit.

758
00:32:37,999 --> 00:32:39,344
I don't know where she lives.

759
00:32:39,345 --> 00:32:41,760
Maybe Sims should
follow this one up.

760
00:32:41,761 --> 00:32:42,968
Oh, seriously.

761
00:32:42,969 --> 00:32:44,901
Let's keep it simple.

762
00:32:44,902 --> 00:32:48,008
[gentle somber music]

763
00:32:48,009 --> 00:32:51,391
[computer keys clicking]

764
00:32:54,981 --> 00:32:56,809
[door clicks shut]

765
00:32:56,810 --> 00:33:00,227
Heraco Flautina,
where it all began.

766
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:03,713
Quite, although Frodo's
interpretive dance of that tree

767
00:33:03,714 --> 00:33:05,818
is something I cannot now unsee.

768
00:33:05,819 --> 00:33:09,099
[upbeat rhythmic music]

769
00:33:10,376 --> 00:33:12,377
You weren't impressed.

770
00:33:12,378 --> 00:33:13,896
I was surprised.

771
00:33:15,277 --> 00:33:17,968
[sighs] The show was to
mark our bicentenary,

772
00:33:17,969 --> 00:33:21,662
and Terrence Weaver put together
a very convincing pitch.

773
00:33:21,663 --> 00:33:24,009
Think of "Hamilton."

774
00:33:24,010 --> 00:33:26,839
Nice city. My
niece lives there.

775
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,875
The musical.

776
00:33:27,876 --> 00:33:29,394
Oh, right. Yes, of course.

777
00:33:29,395 --> 00:33:32,017
Yes, uh, very
popular, I believe.

778
00:33:32,018 --> 00:33:36,677
"Hamilton," "Brokenwood,"
modern historical epics.

779
00:33:36,678 --> 00:33:41,233
Yes. Am I right in thinking
it might be a bit hip hoppy?

780
00:33:41,234 --> 00:33:43,304
Contemporary, yet classical.

781
00:33:43,305 --> 00:33:45,203
This show has the potential
to travel the world.

782
00:33:45,204 --> 00:33:47,377
I have a letter of interest
here from the agent

783
00:33:47,378 --> 00:33:48,345
in New York.

784
00:33:48,346 --> 00:33:50,036
Mmm. Kudos to you.

785
00:33:51,831 --> 00:33:53,521
David P. Schumann.

786
00:33:53,522 --> 00:33:55,282
That's a very New York
name, isn't it? [chuckles]

787
00:33:55,283 --> 00:33:58,388
One of the best.
And, the budget.

788
00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:59,631
Right.

789
00:33:59,632 --> 00:34:01,081
Now as long as there's
a few catchy tunes

790
00:34:01,082 --> 00:34:05,672
about the history of Brokenwood,
that's all we're after.

791
00:34:07,329 --> 00:34:09,019
Gosh, that's quite a big number.

792
00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:11,125
Well, price is the
council we put on quality.

793
00:34:11,126 --> 00:34:14,164
It's more about
what we can afford.

794
00:34:16,338 --> 00:34:18,098
This show is about New Zealand.

795
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:22,205
It's about two peoples,
Tunga Definowah and Pachea.

796
00:34:22,206 --> 00:34:23,827
It's also about
darkness and light.

797
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,312
It's about war and peace.

798
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:27,728
Ultimately, it's a love
story between Settler John

799
00:34:27,729 --> 00:34:28,867
and Settler Janet.

800
00:34:28,868 --> 00:34:30,627
Brokenwood is a love story.

801
00:34:30,628 --> 00:34:35,632
And with your help, I can
bring that love to the world.

802
00:34:35,633 --> 00:34:37,600
Think of the tourism.

803
00:34:37,601 --> 00:34:39,603
Brokenwood, on Broadway.

804
00:34:43,124 --> 00:34:45,608
Well, when you put it like that.

805
00:34:45,609 --> 00:34:48,163
[Terry laughs]

806
00:34:50,131 --> 00:34:52,753
Could I ask how much?

807
00:34:52,754 --> 00:34:54,996
$100,000 of rate payers money.

808
00:34:54,997 --> 00:34:56,343
That sounds like a lot of money

809
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:57,999
for an amateur
theater production.

810
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,451
The idea of Brokenwood
on Broadway, though.

811
00:35:01,452 --> 00:35:03,315
That ship has well
and truly sailed,

812
00:35:03,316 --> 00:35:05,179
along with those dreadful songs,

813
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:08,527
none of which were the
slightest bit catchy.

814
00:35:08,528 --> 00:35:11,254
I understand you appointed
a Missy Tourjador

815
00:35:11,255 --> 00:35:13,222
as a cultural advisor.

816
00:35:13,223 --> 00:35:17,018
Yes, I admit to killing two
birds with one stone there.

817
00:35:17,019 --> 00:35:20,367
She was already cast, so
she could sing and advise.

818
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:23,197
I'm hardly qualified to
be a cultural advisor.

819
00:35:23,198 --> 00:35:25,510
My friend Walter
Elliot recommended you.

820
00:35:25,511 --> 00:35:27,650
Oh, Uncle Walter's a scallywag.

821
00:35:27,651 --> 00:35:29,824
And Todd Taylor said
you were very ofay,

822
00:35:29,825 --> 00:35:32,172
with the whole cultural
whatnot of the area.

823
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:33,656
Yeah, yeah.

824
00:35:33,657 --> 00:35:35,830
I know my Fhukapapa, but
most Maori around here do.

825
00:35:35,831 --> 00:35:37,211
Well that's what we need.

826
00:35:37,212 --> 00:35:39,593
Bit of Fhukapapa, Kerikeer,
that sort of thing.

827
00:35:39,594 --> 00:35:40,973
Two flat whites.

828
00:35:40,974 --> 00:35:42,354
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

829
00:35:42,355 --> 00:35:43,459
You're Missy, right?

830
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:44,598
Yes.

831
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:46,807
I'm Vicky Manus.

832
00:35:46,808 --> 00:35:48,533
I'm cast in the
musical with you.

833
00:35:48,534 --> 00:35:50,431
I can hardly wait.
I'll see you tomorrow.

834
00:35:50,432 --> 00:35:51,708
Mm-hmm.

835
00:35:51,709 --> 00:35:53,710
? Brokenwood, Brokenwood

836
00:35:53,711 --> 00:35:54,849
? So very good

837
00:35:54,850 --> 00:35:55,988
[both laugh]

838
00:35:55,989 --> 00:35:57,094
So excited.

839
00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:01,891
You want a box ticked?

840
00:36:01,892 --> 00:36:04,376
It's to support Mr. Weaver
and his artistic vision,

841
00:36:04,377 --> 00:36:06,723
while ensuring that
the bicultural elements

842
00:36:06,724 --> 00:36:10,417
of Brokenwoods history
are correctly represented.

843
00:36:10,418 --> 00:36:12,695
And is he okay about this?

844
00:36:12,696 --> 00:36:13,766
Absolutely.

845
00:36:14,629 --> 00:36:15,767
Was he?

846
00:36:15,768 --> 00:36:17,147
Well, he seemed to be.

847
00:36:17,148 --> 00:36:18,425
But it was my understanding
that Missy Torhordor

848
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:19,702
walked out.

849
00:36:19,703 --> 00:36:21,566
Sadly, she and Terry
didn't see eye to eye.

850
00:36:21,567 --> 00:36:24,777
Apparently it was
all very last minute.

851
00:36:25,985 --> 00:36:28,228
Look, there uh, may
be nothing to this,

852
00:36:28,229 --> 00:36:30,713
but she did send me
an email that night.

853
00:36:30,714 --> 00:36:32,784
Now in the cold light of day,

854
00:36:32,785 --> 00:36:35,719
the last part seems
most pertinent.

00:37:03,919 --> 00:37:05,920
Hey. Any luck with
Missy Torhordor?

861
00:37:05,921 --> 00:37:08,752
Uh, there's no one home, no car.

862
00:37:11,375 --> 00:37:12,755
The mail hasn't been cleared.

863
00:37:12,756 --> 00:37:14,343
She sent an email to Neil Bloom

864
00:37:14,344 --> 00:37:16,172
the night before
the show went up.

865
00:37:16,173 --> 00:37:17,932
Quote, "You don't
stop this travesty,

866
00:37:17,933 --> 00:37:20,936
there will be tragic
consequences."

867
00:37:22,352 --> 00:37:24,767
What, do you think she
knew something was afoot?

868
00:37:24,768 --> 00:37:27,805
Maybe, or something
more than that.

Thank you. From Coreolanus.

Well, I'm sure we
all know this one.

A Shakespeare fan, are you?

894
00:38:57,274 --> 00:38:59,724
Do you know a Terrence Weaver?

895
00:38:59,725 --> 00:39:02,003
I uh, yes, I know of him.

896
00:39:03,487 --> 00:39:06,765
He died last evening at the
Brokenwood Playhouse Theater.

897
00:39:06,766 --> 00:39:10,079
So I heard, tragic accident.

898
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,080
Mm.

899
00:39:12,393 --> 00:39:16,085
I would like a chat about
your movements last night.

900
00:39:16,086 --> 00:39:18,571
Well, I was at my residence.

901
00:39:19,779 --> 00:39:21,331
A witness claims to
have seen you outside

902
00:39:21,332 --> 00:39:23,541
at the same theater.

903
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:25,508
[sighs] As you are
no doubt aware,

904
00:39:25,509 --> 00:39:29,858
I am a man living under a
strict and tedious curfew.

905
00:39:31,619 --> 00:39:35,415
So, your witness is
clearly mistaken.

906
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:37,002
Well, best to get you
down to the station

to clear things up.

Is this really necessary?

909
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:44,389
Won't take long. Just a few
questions over a cup of tea.

910
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:49,395
[scoffs] All right. May
I use the bathroom first?

No.

Well, this might be more
serious than initially thought.

more do you need to know?

Oh my god, she's so lovely,
and such a great singer.

What does the American
national anthem

954
00:42:11,537 --> 00:42:13,781
have to do with Brokenwood?

Do I feel some more
cultural advising coming on?

I, I guess she was just
trying to do her job.

972
00:42:58,342 --> 00:43:00,999
But, a few of us had a drink
one night after rehearsals

973

00:50:16,297 --> 00:50:18,712
We're at mid-performance.

1122
00:50:18,713 --> 00:50:21,198
You've broken the fourth wall
between me and my audience.

1123
00:50:21,199 --> 00:50:23,269
What audience?

1124
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:25,340
You're still as diluted
as you ever were.

1125
00:50:25,341 --> 00:50:27,756
Now please, have the
courtesy to shut up

1126
00:50:27,757 --> 00:50:29,447
and leave us in peace.

1127
00:50:29,448 --> 00:50:31,968
[tense music]

1128
00:50:35,799 --> 00:50:39,181
[sighs] Sorry about that.

1129
00:50:39,182 --> 00:50:40,907
[horse whinnies]

00:50:40,908 --> 00:50:42,702
[elephant brays]

1131
00:50:42,703 --> 00:50:44,669
[Mike] Who was Terry
having lunch with?

1132
00:50:44,670 --> 00:50:45,946
I don't know.

1133
00:50:45,947 --> 00:50:47,741
Then, how do you
know all about this?

1134
00:50:47,742 --> 00:50:49,260
Oh, Terry told me.

1135
00:50:49,261 --> 00:50:51,331
He had to come back to the
theater for a tech run.

1136
00:50:51,332 --> 00:50:53,092
But, he didn't say
who was at lunch?

1137
00:50:53,093 --> 00:50:57,131
Who cares? The point is
that Ralph was enraged.

1138
00:50:59,306 --> 00:51:01,445
When Ralph showed
up at rehearsals

1139
00:51:01,446 --> 00:51:05,897
asking to play the tree, you
said, "I've already told you,"

1140
00:51:05,898 --> 00:51:08,900
which implies that you
had already seen him.

1141
00:51:08,901 --> 00:51:10,385
When was that?

1142
00:51:10,386 --> 00:51:13,042
I take it this conversation
is confidential.

1143
00:51:13,043 --> 00:51:14,699
Of course.

1144
00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:17,599
I can't have Neil
finding out about this.

1145
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,257
A couple of weeks back,
it was the anniversary

1146
00:51:20,258 --> 00:51:22,914
of Young Ben Faulkner's death,

1147
00:51:22,915 --> 00:51:25,573
and I took flowers to his grave.

1148
00:51:26,747 --> 00:51:30,095
Alas, poor yoddick.
I knew him, Horacio.

1149
00:51:35,549 --> 00:51:37,723
A fellow of infinite jest.

1150
00:51:38,655 --> 00:51:39,655
Ralph?

1151
00:51:40,588 --> 00:51:43,488
[soft tense music]

1152
00:51:49,494 --> 00:51:52,186
Gray Jenkins, long time no see.

1153
00:51:53,912 --> 00:51:57,363
What the hell are
you doing here?

1154
00:51:57,364 --> 00:51:59,019
Paying my respects.

1155
00:51:59,020 --> 00:52:02,471
Well, sharing some of
the beauty of the bard.

1156
00:52:02,472 --> 00:52:06,199
Are you insane?
You, you killed him.

1157
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,545
It was a regrettable mistake.

1158
00:52:07,546 --> 00:52:08,547
A mistake?

1159
00:52:09,997 --> 00:52:13,862
Oh, 60-year-old men wearing
skinny jeans is a mistake.

1160
00:52:13,863 --> 00:52:16,590
I wasn't well.
Stress, you see?

1161
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:22,078
But, I'm back in the game.

1162
00:52:24,425 --> 00:52:28,014
I hear you and Terry Weaver
are working on a show?

1163
00:52:28,015 --> 00:52:31,742
You keep the hell
away! You hear me?

1164
00:52:31,743 --> 00:52:35,885
You are not welcome anywhere
near any of us, ever!

1165
00:52:39,095 --> 00:52:42,408
[Ralph breaths heavily]

[slow somber music]

1167
00:52:55,732 --> 00:52:58,665
He hasn't changed, detective.

1168
00:52:58,666 --> 00:53:02,980
So much for rehabilitation,
he's a sociopath.

1169
00:53:02,981 --> 00:53:05,154
You and I both know it.

1170
00:53:05,155 --> 00:53:08,089
[slow tense music]

[door bangs]

1173
00:53:36,256 --> 00:53:39,500
Leaving so soon, Ralph?
We've only just met.

1174
00:53:42,883 --> 00:53:46,092
What was your relationship
with Mr. Weaver?

1175
00:53:46,093 --> 00:53:48,543
Our paths barely crossed.

1176
00:53:48,544 --> 00:53:50,993
Uh, would you say
you were rivals?

1177
00:53:50,994 --> 00:53:55,758
No. He's more a musical man,
I'm classical Shakespeare.

1178
00:53:58,070 --> 00:54:00,555
Uh, we understand that you
were intent on getting a role

1179
00:54:00,556 --> 00:54:02,695
in Mr. Weaver's show.

1180
00:54:02,696 --> 00:54:07,251
If they were short, I would've
been happy to help out.

1181
00:54:07,252 --> 00:54:10,185
Even though you were
banned from theaters?

1182
00:54:10,186 --> 00:54:13,602
I'm sure a dispensation
could have been arranged.

1183
00:54:13,603 --> 00:54:16,122
The show must go
on, as they say.

1184
00:54:16,123 --> 00:54:17,917
Why would they be short?

1185
00:54:17,918 --> 00:54:19,436
It was merely an offer.

1186
00:54:19,437 --> 00:54:22,128
That was firmly rebuked.

1187
00:54:22,129 --> 00:54:25,304
Not a chance in hell,
according to a witness.

1188
00:54:25,305 --> 00:54:27,513
Gray Jenkins, I presume.

1189
00:54:27,514 --> 00:54:31,102
Prone to exaggeration
is all I'll say to that.

1190
00:54:31,103 --> 00:54:35,314
But they are short now,
aren't they? A man down.

1191
00:54:35,315 --> 00:54:37,661
That seems to have
happened coincidentally,

1192
00:54:37,662 --> 00:54:40,388
when a witness saw you
running from the theater.

1193
00:54:40,389 --> 00:54:43,219
I think that is highly unlikely.

1194
00:54:44,151 --> 00:54:46,843
Does this look familiar to you?

1195
00:54:47,775 --> 00:54:50,709
[soft tense music]

1196
00:54:56,336 --> 00:54:59,511
Is it yours? Our
witness thinks it is.

1197
00:55:02,134 --> 00:55:05,965
It must have fallen
from my makeup bag.

1198
00:55:05,966 --> 00:55:09,417
I have an extensive
collection of appendages.

1199
00:55:09,418 --> 00:55:12,523
Or it fell from your
head as you were running

1200
00:55:12,524 --> 00:55:15,664
from Brokenwood Theater at
9:48 PM on Saturday night.

1201
00:55:15,665 --> 00:55:17,114
Unlikely.

1202
00:55:17,115 --> 00:55:20,429
I'm not allowed to
frequent the theater,

1203
00:55:22,810 --> 00:55:25,122
due to a trifling restraint

1204
00:55:25,123 --> 00:55:27,435
that is stated on my
probation conditions.

1205
00:55:27,436 --> 00:55:29,506
Fortunately, it's
only temporary.

1206
00:55:29,507 --> 00:55:32,232
Did you attend the opening
of "Brokenwood, the Musical?"

1207
00:55:32,233 --> 00:55:33,614
Wasn't invited.

1208
00:55:34,857 --> 00:55:35,858
Yes or no?

1209
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,001
It's a rather obvious trope,
don't you think, Mr. St. John

1210
00:55:42,002 --> 00:55:44,900
to portray Shylock
as a Hasidic Jew?

1211
00:55:44,901 --> 00:55:47,800
Shakespeare's observations
on the human condition

1212
00:55:47,801 --> 00:55:49,630
remain beyond compare.

"Is it to hold as 'twere
the mirror up to nature?"

1214
00:55:57,017 --> 00:56:01,089
Well, perhaps you'd
like to do exactly that

1215
00:56:01,090 --> 00:56:05,093
in one of our cells,
to help pass the time.

1216

What?

1217
00:56:06,336 --> 00:56:07,303
We'll be holding you overnight

1220
00:56:12,688 --> 00:56:15,310
Let's say Ralph St. John made
his way backstage unseen.

1221
00:56:15,311 --> 00:56:18,693
He releases a light, killing
Terry Weaver. He runs off.

1222
00:56:18,694 --> 00:56:21,454
He still had to have an
opportunity to rig it.

1223
00:56:21,455 --> 00:56:23,870
The lighting technician
last adjusted the light

1224
00:56:23,871 --> 00:56:25,354
the evening prior.

1225
00:56:25,355 --> 00:56:28,703
Which means the offender
only had some time

1226
00:56:28,704 --> 00:56:33,501
on the day of the show to
put their plan into place.

that he'll be here soon.

you were in charge of

Yes, and we had a

and everyone went out
to get food for an hour.

00:59:01,166 --> 00:59:03,823
So, someone could have
gained access to the theater

1278
00:59:03,824 --> 00:59:05,894
from 2:00 to 3:00 PM?

1279
00:59:05,895 --> 00:59:08,379
Well, no, because
I waited outside.

1280
00:59:08,380 --> 00:59:09,898
Nice to get a bit of sun.

1281
00:59:09,899 --> 00:59:12,763
Watching Frodo practice his
dance steps. He's very good.

1282
00:59:12,764 --> 00:59:15,870
So, no one could have
slipped past you?

1283
00:59:15,871 --> 00:59:17,078
No chance.

1284
00:59:17,079 --> 00:59:18,666
What about Missy Torhordor?

1285
00:59:18,667 --> 00:59:19,943
Did you happen to
see her at all?

1286
00:59:19,944 --> 00:59:21,530
God, no.

1287
00:59:21,531 --> 00:59:24,568
She wouldn't dare show her
face, walking out like that.

1288
00:59:24,569 --> 00:59:25,639
Unforgivable.

1289
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:28,676
Okay, uh, thanks for your time.

1290
00:59:28,677 --> 00:59:31,092
And even if they did, they
would've been heard by Vicky.

1291
00:59:31,093 --> 00:59:32,300
Vicky Marus?

1292
00:59:32,301 --> 00:59:33,370
Or at least woken her up.

1293
00:59:33,371 --> 00:59:34,682
She wasn't feeling well,

1294
00:59:34,683 --> 00:59:36,580
so she stayed in her
dressing room for a nap.

1295
00:59:36,581 --> 00:59:38,133
Timothy was so worried.

1296
00:59:38,134 --> 00:59:39,790
So I sent him to get
her some chicken soup,

1297
00:59:39,791 --> 00:59:40,964
which always works wonders.

1298
00:59:40,965 --> 00:59:42,517
It's the celery, you know?

1299
00:59:42,518 --> 00:59:44,726
And sure enough, she was good
to go for the show that night.

1300
00:59:44,727 --> 00:59:47,418
Well, she had to keep a spew
bucket close by, just in case,

1301
00:59:47,419 --> 00:59:50,629
but she was an absolute trooper.

1302
00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:52,216
It was the day before we opened

1303
00:59:52,217 --> 00:59:54,046
that she started feeling crook.

1304
00:59:54,047 --> 00:59:56,980
I reckon it was nerves
too, she gets 'em real bad.

1305
00:59:56,981 --> 00:59:59,154
She blamed the food.

1306
00:59:59,155 --> 01:00:01,053
You might wanna be
careful with those pies.

1307
01:00:01,054 --> 01:00:02,606
Oh no, not from her cafe.

1308
01:00:02,607 --> 01:00:05,057
She'd had lunch with Terry
at the Snake and Tiger.

1309
01:00:05,058 --> 01:00:07,162
Gave the seafood a swerve.

1310
01:00:07,163 --> 01:00:08,647
Why did she have
lunch with Terry?

1311
01:00:08,648 --> 01:00:12,616
Oh, it's kind of stupid,
really. You should talk to her.

1312
01:00:12,617 --> 01:00:15,412
Timothy's right, it
was pretty stupid.

1313
01:00:15,413 --> 01:00:17,932
He wanted me to change my name.

1314
01:00:17,933 --> 01:00:20,935
What about, Victoria
De Havilland?

1315
01:00:20,936 --> 01:00:22,764
What is wrong with Vicky?

1316
01:00:22,765 --> 01:00:24,524
You gotta think about
your name in lights.

1317
01:00:24,525 --> 01:00:27,217
Victoria Minelli.
Victoria Dubois.

1318
01:00:27,218 --> 01:00:29,978
When this show blows
up, and it will,

1319
01:00:29,979 --> 01:00:32,015
this will be your chance.

1320
01:00:32,016 --> 01:00:34,362
Why do you think that?

1321
01:00:34,363 --> 01:00:37,089
I have an agent in America,

1322
01:00:37,090 --> 01:00:39,091
he has the score,
the lyrics, the book.

1323
01:00:39,092 --> 01:00:40,955
He says there's a
lot of interests.

1324
01:00:40,956 --> 01:00:42,542
- Really?
- Really.

1325
01:00:42,543 --> 01:00:44,683
For a show about Brokenwood?

1326
01:00:44,684 --> 01:00:46,788
Well, it's a universal story.

1327
01:00:46,789 --> 01:00:50,517
It's a love story. And
you, you are the star.

1328
01:00:52,070 --> 01:00:53,692
[Vicky laughs]

1329
01:00:53,693 --> 01:00:58,179
They've written to me,
Vicky. I have it in writing.

1330
01:00:58,180 --> 01:01:00,560
Brokenwood's going to Broadway.

1331
01:01:00,561 --> 01:01:03,391
[gentle music]

1332
01:01:03,392 --> 01:01:04,841
Broadway?

1333
01:01:04,842 --> 01:01:05,876
Broadway.

1334
01:01:05,877 --> 01:01:08,085
[both laugh]

1335
01:01:08,086 --> 01:01:09,881
Oh, Victoria Dubois.

1336
01:01:12,781 --> 01:01:13,988
Now you're talking.

1337
01:01:13,989 --> 01:01:16,059
[both laugh]

1338
01:01:16,060 --> 01:01:18,131
It's all I ever wanted.

1339
01:01:19,373 --> 01:01:24,274
To sing on stage,
professionally, it was my dream.

1340
01:01:24,275 --> 01:01:25,275
But, now.

1341
01:01:29,038 --> 01:01:31,074
And then what happened?

1342
01:01:31,075 --> 01:01:33,697
You know what
happened. He died.

1343
01:01:33,698 --> 01:01:36,320
I mean, after lunch.

1344
01:01:36,321 --> 01:01:40,222
I went back to rehearsals
and then went home.

1345
01:01:41,499 --> 01:01:43,362
Then felt sick.

1346
01:01:43,363 --> 01:01:46,089
Do you think it was
something you ate?

1347
01:01:46,090 --> 01:01:47,885
I don't know. Maybe.

1348
01:01:49,093 --> 01:01:51,266
I gotta get you
right for the show.

1349
01:01:51,267 --> 01:01:53,235
The calamari, I think.

1350
01:01:54,684 --> 01:01:56,651
And that lasted through
to the following day,

1351
01:01:56,652 --> 01:01:58,032
which was opening night?

1352
01:01:58,033 --> 01:01:59,033
Yes.

1353
01:02:00,380 --> 01:02:02,070
You felt so sick that you
stayed in your dressing room

1354
01:02:02,071 --> 01:02:03,003
through the lunch break.

1355
01:02:03,004 --> 01:02:05,280
Yeah, I tried to sleep it off.

1356
01:02:05,281 --> 01:02:08,352
And Timothy went out and
got you some chicken soup?

1357
01:02:08,353 --> 01:02:09,353
Yes.

1358
01:02:11,011 --> 01:02:14,462
So you were alone
between 2:00 and 3:00 PM?

1359
01:02:14,463 --> 01:02:15,463
No.

1360
01:02:16,361 --> 01:02:17,776
No.

1361
01:02:17,777 --> 01:02:20,951
Sue was there, meditating
in the dressing room.

1362
01:02:20,952 --> 01:02:23,471
She never went for
lunch with everyone.

1363
01:02:23,472 --> 01:02:26,026
Be good. Be better. Be great.

1364
01:02:28,649 --> 01:02:31,204
[gentle music]

1365
01:02:34,517 --> 01:02:35,517
Because?

1366
01:02:38,176 --> 01:02:40,212
No one liked her.
Can I say that?

1367
01:02:40,213 --> 01:02:41,765
I mean, I know Sue
Fontaine is kind of famous

1368
01:02:41,766 --> 01:02:44,043
and everything, but...

1369
01:02:44,044 --> 01:02:45,148
[Kristen] But?

1370
01:02:45,149 --> 01:02:46,666
She has a real temper.

1371
01:02:46,667 --> 01:02:48,807
Crab Shack Jenny. Who the
hell is Crab Shack Jenny?

1372
01:02:48,808 --> 01:02:52,500
Sue, we're starting with
a tree made of wood.

1373
01:02:52,501 --> 01:02:53,501
Well?

1374
01:02:55,228 --> 01:02:58,610
[Sue sighs and chuckles]

1375
01:03:00,198 --> 01:03:02,994
You and me, we
will need to talk.

1376
01:03:07,861 --> 01:03:10,587
Do you know what it was about?

1377
01:03:10,588 --> 01:03:13,073
The part wasn't the biggest.

1378
01:03:14,350 --> 01:03:15,626
And she was angry about that?

1379
01:03:15,627 --> 01:03:18,560
Oh, that would be
an understatement.

1380
01:03:18,561 --> 01:03:20,873
Sorry, I have to get back to it.

1381
01:03:20,874 --> 01:03:23,566
[gentle music]

1382
01:03:27,985 --> 01:03:30,503
Mike, according to Vicky Manus,

1383
01:03:30,504 --> 01:03:34,369
Sue Fontaine was in
the backstage area too.

1384
01:03:34,370 --> 01:03:35,577
Moving on, I see.

1385
01:03:35,578 --> 01:03:37,200
The "Rolling Cats"
going in Darwin,

1386
01:03:37,201 --> 01:03:40,237
so it's time to don the
paws and claws once again.

1387
01:03:40,238 --> 01:03:41,238
Uh, quick chat?

1388
01:03:41,239 --> 01:03:42,861
I have a cab called.

1389
01:03:42,862 --> 01:03:45,104
I'll call you another.

1390
01:03:45,105 --> 01:03:45,934
Eh.

1391
01:03:45,935 --> 01:03:48,901
[bag thuds]

1392
01:03:48,902 --> 01:03:50,869
I understand you meditate.

1393
01:03:50,870 --> 01:03:52,077
Yes. Why?

1394
01:03:52,078 --> 01:03:54,010
Oh, it was mentioned
in passing, that's all.

1395
01:03:54,011 --> 01:03:56,460
Oh. Have done for years.

1396
01:03:56,461 --> 01:03:58,186
I zone out for 40 minutes

1397
01:03:58,187 --> 01:04:00,154
and feel like I've had
an eight hour sleep.

1398
01:04:00,155 --> 01:04:02,777
It was also suggested
that you were quite upset

1399
01:04:02,778 --> 01:04:05,297
about playing Crab Shack Jenny.

1400
01:04:05,298 --> 01:04:07,161
Vicky Manus has a big mouth.

1401
01:04:07,162 --> 01:04:08,679
So it did happen?

1402
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,164
When Terry approached me,

1403
01:04:10,165 --> 01:04:14,340
he clearly indicated that
I was to play the lead.

1404
01:04:14,341 --> 01:04:15,790
Settler Janet?

1405
01:04:15,791 --> 01:04:17,067
Yes.

1406
01:04:17,068 --> 01:04:18,551
So, what changed?

1407
01:04:18,552 --> 01:04:19,898
That's what I wanted to know.

1408
01:04:19,899 --> 01:04:23,695
Sue, you're about to
become a feminist icon.

1409
01:04:26,146 --> 01:04:29,909
I mean, Crab Shack Jenny,
she has, has balls.

1410
01:04:31,841 --> 01:04:33,083
Balls, balls.

1411
01:04:33,084 --> 01:04:35,292
You want me to play
a woman with balls,

1412
01:04:35,293 --> 01:04:38,399
dressed only in a tattered
sea-soaked blanket?

1413
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,642
Screw you, Terry.

1414
01:04:40,643 --> 01:04:41,644
So, honey.

1415
01:04:43,819 --> 01:04:46,441
[wine dribbles]

1416
01:04:46,442 --> 01:04:48,064
Come on.

1417
01:04:48,065 --> 01:04:51,413
One scene. I have
one scene, one song.

1418
01:04:52,828 --> 01:04:55,934
It's the song. Only Sue
Fontaine can sing it.

1419
01:04:55,935 --> 01:04:56,935
Plus,

1420
01:04:58,938 --> 01:05:00,456
I want you to sing

1421
01:05:01,630 --> 01:05:05,185
"Going to Nashville"
too, that's two songs.

1422
01:05:06,428 --> 01:05:09,637
[papers thud]

1423
01:05:09,638 --> 01:05:12,674
Plus some chorus work. You've
always loved chorus work.

1424
01:05:12,675 --> 01:05:17,680
Starring Sue Fontaine, Terry.
The poster says, "Starring."

1425
01:05:18,819 --> 01:05:21,442
Okay, look, when the
music came to me,

1426
01:05:21,443 --> 01:05:25,619
I realized that Settler
Janet needed to be more...

1427
01:05:29,830 --> 01:05:32,522
Now go on, say it. More?

1428
01:05:32,523 --> 01:05:35,940
Younger. She's about
to start a family.

1429
01:05:38,839 --> 01:05:39,979
You bastard.

1430
01:05:41,359 --> 01:05:44,190
You've done it
again, haven't you?

1431
01:05:45,536 --> 01:05:48,987
"Terry, you've done it
again, haven't you?"

1432
01:05:48,988 --> 01:05:50,264
What did you mean by that?

1433
01:05:50,265 --> 01:05:52,507
Perhaps Young Settler
Janet would be better

1434
01:05:52,508 --> 01:05:54,509
to answer that.

1435
01:05:54,510 --> 01:05:58,755
[birds chirping]
[gentle music]

1436
01:05:58,756 --> 01:06:00,515
[Mike] Is uh, Timothy home?

1437
01:06:00,516 --> 01:06:03,242
Not yet. He usually gets
back around six. Why?

1438
01:06:03,243 --> 01:06:08,248
Uh, good. I uh, I need to
ask you a delicate question.

1439
01:06:08,731 --> 01:06:09,731
Okay.

1440
01:06:10,561 --> 01:06:13,666
Terrence Weaver, was
he anything more to you

1441
01:06:13,667 --> 01:06:16,428
than the director and
producer of the show?

1442
01:06:16,429 --> 01:06:18,050
What do you mean?

1443
01:06:18,051 --> 01:06:22,296
Were you and he in some
kind of relationship?

1444
01:06:22,297 --> 01:06:23,643
No. Oh my god.

1445
01:06:25,714 --> 01:06:28,026
How could you? No.

1446
01:06:28,027 --> 01:06:29,958
Sorry, I had to ask.

1447
01:06:29,959 --> 01:06:31,201
Why did you have to ask that?

1448
01:06:31,202 --> 01:06:33,617
Just trying to make
sense of a few things.

1449
01:06:33,618 --> 01:06:35,102
Well, I'm engaged.

1450
01:06:35,103 --> 01:06:37,725
Me and Timothy, I wouldn't
do anything to hurt him.

1451
01:06:37,726 --> 01:06:39,002
Oh, of course.

1452
01:06:39,003 --> 01:06:43,075
Uh, well, that's all.
Thanks for your time.

1453
01:06:43,076 --> 01:06:47,045
Oh, did you ever visit
Terrance at his home?

1454
01:06:47,046 --> 01:06:49,185
No. Why would I?

1455
01:06:49,186 --> 01:06:50,877
Huh. Thanks again.

1456
01:06:55,571 --> 01:06:58,228
Vicky Manus is adamant she
was not in a relationship

1457
01:06:58,229 --> 01:06:59,643
with Terrence Weaver.

1458
01:06:59,644 --> 01:07:02,060
And even if she
was, why kill him?

1459
01:07:02,061 --> 01:07:03,682
He was offering her the world.

1460
01:07:03,683 --> 01:07:06,271
Although, why New York
was interested in his show

1461
01:07:06,272 --> 01:07:07,410
still bugs me.

1462
01:07:07,411 --> 01:07:09,032
She could be lying.

1463
01:07:09,033 --> 01:07:10,240
True.

1464
01:07:10,241 --> 01:07:12,760
And if Timothy Ward
found out about it,

1465
01:07:12,761 --> 01:07:16,143
is that a motivation to
get rid of Terrence Weaver?

1466
01:07:16,144 --> 01:07:18,421
What did Timothy say
about the sash cord?

1467
01:07:18,422 --> 01:07:20,871
Uh, another casualty
in the debacle

1468
01:07:20,872 --> 01:07:23,702
that was Dr. Plumber
losing his pants.

1469
01:07:23,703 --> 01:07:26,567
You should talk to her.

1470
01:07:26,568 --> 01:07:29,328
Timothy, your song
about windows...

1471
01:07:29,329 --> 01:07:31,089
A beautiful song, right?

1472
01:07:31,090 --> 01:07:32,676
Uh-huh. Yeah.

1473
01:07:32,677 --> 01:07:33,988
No, it certainly was interesting

1474
01:07:33,989 --> 01:07:36,371
from a carpentry perspective.

1475
01:07:37,786 --> 01:07:40,960
So you were singing
about window sash cord,

1476
01:07:40,961 --> 01:07:42,410
which was draped
over your shoulder,

1477
01:07:42,411 --> 01:07:44,240
but then at the end
when the lights came up,

1478
01:07:44,241 --> 01:07:45,448
it wasn't there.

1479
01:07:45,449 --> 01:07:47,760
I know, I was
supposed to have it.

1480
01:07:47,761 --> 01:07:49,107
? Next to the window

1481
01:07:49,108 --> 01:07:50,694
? The wonderful window

1482
01:07:50,695 --> 01:07:52,765
Help me. I'm on in 30 seconds.

Oh, bit late now.

[Timothy sighs]

1495
01:08:26,593 --> 01:08:28,353
? And lumber, fish and roses

1496
01:08:28,354 --> 01:08:29,665
Least I tried.

1497
01:08:31,150 --> 01:08:34,462
Uh, Gina has narrowed the
type of chord down to these.

1498
01:08:34,463 --> 01:08:38,295
A three millimeter brown
twine, diamond braid,

1499
01:08:41,436 --> 01:08:44,404
and a cotton polyester
macrame cord.

1500
01:08:45,647 --> 01:08:48,476
Macrame, is that still a thing?

1501
01:08:48,477 --> 01:08:51,548
What about wool? Vicky
Manus is a knitter.

1502
01:08:51,549 --> 01:08:53,826
She has access to yards of wool.

1503
01:08:53,827 --> 01:08:55,276
Uh, Gina discounted wool.

1504
01:08:55,277 --> 01:08:57,830
The sample taken from
the victim's skin

1505
01:08:57,831 --> 01:08:59,936
was a synthetic blend.

1506
01:08:59,937 --> 01:09:03,698
And, wool isn't strong
enough to hold this light.

1507
01:09:03,699 --> 01:09:06,322
So we're still looking for
30 meters of one of those.

1508
01:09:06,323 --> 01:09:08,325
And, whichever it was,

1509
01:09:09,705 --> 01:09:11,637
how did the offender
get it off the stage?

[cellphone dings]

1513
01:09:20,958 --> 01:09:21,958
Hmm.

1514
01:09:23,616 --> 01:09:26,583
Well this is an unusual case.

1515
01:09:26,584 --> 01:09:28,102
What have you come
up with, Dennis?

1516
01:09:28,103 --> 01:09:32,175
An unusual case, of
mistaken identity.

1517
01:09:32,176 --> 01:09:34,350
Mr. St. John was mistaken
for someone else?

1518
01:09:34,351 --> 01:09:36,214
Quiet. It's as simple as that.

1519
01:09:36,215 --> 01:09:37,698
Let's cut to the chase.

1520
01:09:37,699 --> 01:09:39,113
Does your client admit
that he was at the theater

1521
01:09:39,114 --> 01:09:40,252
on the night in question?

1522
01:09:40,253 --> 01:09:41,599
No, I was not.

1523
01:09:44,050 --> 01:09:45,154
He was not.

1524
01:09:46,121 --> 01:09:47,778
But Mr. Shylock was.

1525
01:09:50,850 --> 01:09:53,783
A Mr. Shylock impersonated
by your client.

1526
01:09:53,784 --> 01:09:57,304
I don't impersonate, I inhabit.

1527
01:09:57,305 --> 01:09:59,202
Indeed. He transforms.

1528
01:09:59,203 --> 01:10:01,343
So, who is he right now?

1529
01:10:02,379 --> 01:10:03,794
Right. You are?

1530
01:10:04,898 --> 01:10:05,727
Ralph.

1531
01:10:05,728 --> 01:10:06,796
Ralph St. John.

1532
01:10:06,797 --> 01:10:09,730
[Ralph clears
throat] St. John.

1533
01:10:09,731 --> 01:10:12,388
So, your client
admits that he...

01:10:12,389 --> 01:10:13,768
[Ralph clears throat]

1535
01:10:13,769 --> 01:10:17,255
This human person
before us, was there.

1536
01:10:17,256 --> 01:10:21,674
As I said. A Mr. St. John,
not a Mr. Shylock. Yes.

1537
01:10:24,918 --> 01:10:27,265
This is ridi [sighs].

1538
01:10:27,266 --> 01:10:28,335
Could we have a word?

1539
01:10:28,336 --> 01:10:29,819
Of course.

1540
01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:32,995
Sit tight, old chap.
Try not to speak.

1541
01:10:44,110 --> 01:10:46,767
If Shylock was there,
Ralph St. John was there.

1542
01:10:46,768 --> 01:10:48,147
That's not how my
client sees it.

1543
01:10:48,148 --> 01:10:50,426
Because he's as mad as a hatter.

1544
01:10:50,427 --> 01:10:52,290
We don't joke about mental
health, Detective Sims,

1545
01:10:52,291 --> 01:10:53,532
now, do we?

1546
01:10:53,533 --> 01:10:55,085
No, we don't, because
delusions of grandeur

1547
01:10:55,086 --> 01:10:57,536
is a serious and
dangerous affliction.

1548
01:10:57,537 --> 01:11:01,679
As evidenced by Ralph St.
John's prior conviction.

1549
01:11:05,476 --> 01:11:07,478
I played Othello once.

1550
01:11:08,617 --> 01:11:11,620
Oh, the reviews were
quite something.

1551
01:11:14,416 --> 01:11:16,038
I had to, you know.

1552
01:11:18,938 --> 01:11:20,801
Of course those days are...

1553
01:11:20,802 --> 01:11:23,425
Thankfully over, Mr. St. John.

1554
01:11:26,980 --> 01:11:27,980
Agreed?

1555
01:11:29,638 --> 01:11:30,638
Hmm.

1556
01:11:33,711 --> 01:11:35,298
If he was there, he was
able to drop the light

1557
01:11:35,299 --> 01:11:37,369
on Mr. Weaver's head,
and therefore kill him.

1558
01:11:37,370 --> 01:11:39,129
Well, just because he
could doesn't mean he did.

1559
01:11:39,130 --> 01:11:40,683
That doesn't mean
he didn't either.

1560
01:11:40,684 --> 01:11:42,409
Then why?

1561
01:11:42,410 --> 01:11:44,031
My client and Mr. Weaver
barely know each other.

1562
01:11:44,032 --> 01:11:45,343
They're got no ax to grind.

1563
01:11:45,344 --> 01:11:47,655
And this, this mythical
rope or piece of string

or a thread of fine
silk, whatever.

Where is it?

We've yet to locate it.

1567

You see, it's mythical.

1568
01:11:56,355 --> 01:11:58,804
Dennis, we know he was
there. You've said as much.

And, we have a witness,
plus his manky hairpiece.

1570
01:12:02,050 --> 01:12:04,362
The real question is how
long he goes back inside for,

1571
01:12:04,363 --> 01:12:07,088
unless he decides to cooperate.

1572
01:12:07,089 --> 01:12:09,091
Run that by your client.

All right, all
right, I was there.

01:12:21,380 --> 01:12:23,519
[Mike] Did you cause the
death of Terrence Weaver?

1577
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,279
No, I certainly did not.

1578
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:26,487
Then what were you doing there?

1579
01:12:26,488 --> 01:12:28,593
Taking what was rightfully mine.

No.

1582
01:12:32,563 --> 01:12:35,393
[sighs] I made my way
backstage. It wasn't hard.

1583

01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,083
Outside?

1596
01:13:11,084 --> 01:13:15,156
Yes. Was at that point
that my curl came detached.

1597
01:13:15,157 --> 01:13:16,745
But I kept running.

1598
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,992
I did no harm, I assure
you. I held no malice.

1599
01:13:23,718 --> 01:13:25,408
That's quite an
elaborate effort to go to

1600
01:13:25,409 --> 01:13:28,273
to bask in someone else's glory.

1601
01:13:28,274 --> 01:13:31,725
I belong at the
theater, you see.

1602
01:13:31,726 --> 01:13:34,453
Without the theater,
I'm nothing.

1603
01:13:36,420 --> 01:13:38,628
Even if we accept his,
"I was just hanging out

1604
01:13:38,629 --> 01:13:40,941
behind the curtain, getting
my jollies" explanation,

1605
01:13:40,942 --> 01:13:43,668
there is another
mitigating factor.

1606
01:13:43,669 --> 01:13:45,670
The only window of
opportunity our offender had

1607
01:13:45,671 --> 01:13:50,226
to tamper with the light was
between 2:00 and 3:00 PM.

1608
01:13:50,227 --> 01:13:52,987
Which is when Ralph
St. John was performing

1609
01:13:52,988 --> 01:13:54,333
at the Snake and Tiger.

1610

[Daniel] So, no matter what...

1611
01:13:55,577 --> 01:13:56,819
He's not our man.

1612
01:13:56,820 --> 01:13:58,130
Mm-hmm.

1613
01:13:58,131 --> 01:14:01,064
Which brings us
back to our women.

1614
01:14:01,065 --> 01:14:03,929
Sue Fontaine and Vicky Manus.

1615
01:14:03,930 --> 01:14:05,725
Or, Missy Torhordor.

1618
01:14:26,297 --> 01:14:27,297
Yes?

1619
01:14:28,299 --> 01:14:30,438
Hi. Is Missy Torhordor home?

1620
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,233
Can I say who's asking?

1621
01:14:32,234 --> 01:14:36,479
Detective Kristen
Sims, Brokenwood CIB.

1622
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,827
Missy, a policeman is here.

1623
01:14:41,727 --> 01:14:43,106
I got this.

1624

[women speak foreign language]

1625
01:14:47,249 --> 01:14:48,664
Hi.

1626
01:14:48,665 --> 01:14:51,977
Hi. I was just wondering
if you got my card.

1627
01:14:51,978 --> 01:14:56,050
I did. I was gonna call you
back and got distracted.

1628
01:14:56,051 --> 01:14:57,051
What's up?

1629
01:14:58,295 --> 01:15:00,814
I just have a few questions
regarding your whereabouts

1630
01:15:00,815 --> 01:15:02,091
the night before last.

1631
01:15:02,092 --> 01:15:03,368
Do you mind if I...

1632
01:15:03,369 --> 01:15:04,921
No.

1633
01:15:04,922 --> 01:15:06,647
No, you don't mind, or?

1634
01:15:06,648 --> 01:15:09,443
It's probably best I
come down to the station.

1635
01:15:09,444 --> 01:15:11,652
Great. Well, I can
give you a lift.

1636
01:15:11,653 --> 01:15:13,999
I'll meet you there.

1637
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,003
I'd really rather
give you a lift.

1638
01:15:18,246 --> 01:15:20,799
Mom, hold the fort.
Won't be long.

1639
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:24,804
[women speak foreign language]

1640
01:15:32,294 --> 01:15:33,467
You live with your mum?

1641
01:15:33,468 --> 01:15:34,468
Nope.

1642
01:15:38,473 --> 01:15:40,474
You said in an
email to Mayor Bloom

1643
01:15:40,475 --> 01:15:42,062
that if he didn't stop the show,

1644
01:15:42,063 --> 01:15:44,962
there would be
tragic consequences.

1645
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,379
What did you mean by that?

1646
01:15:49,380 --> 01:15:51,174
That people would
come to the show

1647
01:15:51,175 --> 01:15:54,074
and think our ancestor
Pudacko arrived here

1648
01:15:54,075 --> 01:15:56,663
on the back of a bald eagle.

1649
01:15:56,664 --> 01:15:59,286
Or that the Statue of Liberty
miraculously made its way

1650
01:15:59,287 --> 01:16:01,806
into our local history.

1651
01:16:01,807 --> 01:16:04,912
That people are being
sold alternative facts,

1652
01:16:04,913 --> 01:16:08,364
when it's hard enough to get
them to know the real ones.

1653
01:16:08,365 --> 01:16:10,125
That would be tragic.

1654
01:16:11,575 --> 01:16:16,269
But you wrote that, and then
Terrence Weaver was killed.

1655
01:16:16,856 --> 01:16:17,856
Coincidence?

1656
01:16:18,858 --> 01:16:19,928
Sadly, yes.

1657
01:16:21,620 --> 01:16:25,381
So you walked out of the show
the night before opening,

1658
01:16:25,382 --> 01:16:30,041
leaving Mr. Weaver no choice
but to take over your role.

1659
01:16:30,042 --> 01:16:32,181
The role that took his life.

1660
01:16:32,182 --> 01:16:33,596
I wasn't to know that.

1661
01:16:33,597 --> 01:16:35,218
But, you wanted
the play stopped.

1662
01:16:35,219 --> 01:16:37,082
I did, but more than that,

1663
01:16:37,083 --> 01:16:39,809
I wanted it to reflect
some element of the truth.

1664
01:16:39,810 --> 01:16:42,363
And you felt
passionately about that.

1665
01:16:42,364 --> 01:16:44,711
I wasn't gonna get up
there and look like a fool.

1666
01:16:44,712 --> 01:16:46,160
So you walked out.

1667
01:16:46,161 --> 01:16:47,472
I did.

1668
01:16:47,473 --> 01:16:48,680
I've never done anything
like that before

1669
01:16:48,681 --> 01:16:51,649
and I felt really
stink about it.

1670
01:16:51,650 --> 01:16:55,860
But, not so stink that you
didn't call up my colleague

1671
01:16:55,861 --> 01:16:58,345
and ask him out on a date.

1672
01:16:58,346 --> 01:17:00,727
Just got home, saw Daniel's
card on the fridge,

1673
01:17:00,728 --> 01:17:03,626
and thought I'd give him
a call, see where he's at.

1674
01:17:03,627 --> 01:17:05,490
I thought he could cheer me up.

1675
01:17:05,491 --> 01:17:06,733
So you set up a date?

1676
01:17:06,734 --> 01:17:07,941
I did.

1677
01:17:07,942 --> 01:17:09,114
And then you didn't show.

1678
01:17:09,115 --> 01:17:10,392
That is true.

1679
01:17:11,497 --> 01:17:13,187
Where were you?

1680
01:17:13,188 --> 01:17:16,674
Something came up.
Something personal.

1681
01:17:16,675 --> 01:17:18,986
Does this something
involve being at

1682
01:17:18,987 --> 01:17:22,438
the Brokenwood Playhouse
Theater around 9:48 PM.

1683
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,681
Doubt it.

1684
01:17:23,682 --> 01:17:24,992
Are you sure about that?

1685
01:17:24,993 --> 01:17:26,926
Yes, and where I was,

1686
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:31,344
I'm not sure that's
any of your business.

1687
01:17:35,486 --> 01:17:37,936
Not turning up somewhere,

1688
01:17:37,937 --> 01:17:40,836
that's not a very
good alibi, is it?

1689
01:17:40,837 --> 01:17:43,321
[tense music]

1690
01:17:43,322 --> 01:17:44,910
You stood him up.

1691
01:17:47,429 --> 01:17:50,638
Why do you care about that?

1692
01:17:50,639 --> 01:17:52,226
He's a colleague.

1693
01:17:52,227 --> 01:17:54,366
Oh, so it's personal.

1694
01:17:54,367 --> 01:17:55,747
So you're not gonna
tell me where you were?

1695
01:17:55,748 --> 01:17:57,162
Nope.

1696
01:17:57,163 --> 01:18:00,234
But if I could talk
to DC Chalmers,

1697
01:18:00,235 --> 01:18:02,306
I might feel differently.

1698
01:18:03,204 --> 01:18:05,861
Well, he's not here right now.

1699
01:18:05,862 --> 01:18:08,105
I'll head back home then.

1700

1702

Thank you for the ride.
The show will go on.

1703
01:18:21,049 --> 01:18:23,085
Stay outta trouble,
Mr. St. John.

1704
01:18:23,086 --> 01:18:24,638
I was never in any.

1705
01:18:24,639 --> 01:18:27,710
Your probation officer
may not see it that way.

1706
01:18:27,711 --> 01:18:30,851
Seeking applause is not a crime.

1707
01:18:30,852 --> 01:18:35,650
At least I wasn't soliciting
young women back to my lair.

1708
01:18:37,203 --> 01:18:38,686
What do you mean by that?

1709
01:18:38,687 --> 01:18:42,725
Terry Weaver was not a man
of class or distinction,

1710
01:18:42,726 --> 01:18:44,244
for that matter.

1711
01:18:44,245 --> 01:18:47,661
For me, the theater's always
been about a higher purpose.

1712
01:18:47,662 --> 01:18:51,458
For him, it was
about the trappings.

1713
01:18:51,459 --> 01:18:52,770
What sort of trappings?

1714
01:18:52,771 --> 01:18:55,014
The venal kind. The ship.

1715
01:18:55,981 --> 01:18:57,671
[Terry laughs]

1716
01:18:57,672 --> 01:19:01,364
Terry, you may not
appreciate my Richard III,

1717
01:19:01,365 --> 01:19:04,783
but I have been
practicing my vaudeville.

1718
01:19:06,232 --> 01:19:08,716
You'll never be in my show.
Your talents are not required.

1719
01:19:08,717 --> 01:19:09,994
More for you then.

1720
01:19:09,995 --> 01:19:12,790
They are not required
because you have none.

1721
01:19:12,791 --> 01:19:15,620
No talent. Not like Vicky here.

1722
01:19:15,621 --> 01:19:17,934
She has talent, real talent.

1723
01:19:19,798 --> 01:19:22,938
She was just asking for a bigger
part. Can you believe that?

1724
01:19:22,939 --> 01:19:24,525
No. [laughs]

1725
01:19:24,526 --> 01:19:26,113
Excuse me.

1728

Let's head back to mine.
I'll show you that letter.

Okay.

[both laugh]

1731
01:19:44,684 --> 01:19:46,340
And she agreed to that?

1732
01:19:46,341 --> 01:19:49,896
Couldn't get her knickers
off fast enough, I'd say.

1733
01:19:49,897 --> 01:19:52,036
Ah, my audience awaits.

This afternoon, King Lear.

01:19:53,659 --> 01:19:55,902
I shall be playing
all the parts.

1736
01:19:55,903 --> 01:19:57,835
It is the first act only.

1737
01:19:57,836 --> 01:20:01,183

[door bangs shut]

1744
01:20:35,321 --> 01:20:38,358
You wanted to know where I was.

1745
01:20:38,359 --> 01:20:40,739
I had to go to the hospital.

1746
01:20:40,740 --> 01:20:42,603
You're unwell.
Sorry to hear that.

1747
01:20:42,604 --> 01:20:44,122
Not me.

1748
01:20:44,123 --> 01:20:46,262
And I wanted to talk to
you about it over a drink,

1749
01:20:46,263 --> 01:20:48,058
a no surprises policy.

1750
01:20:49,025 --> 01:20:51,682
Let you know face
to face that...

1751
01:20:53,719 --> 01:20:55,685
You have a tomighty.

1752
01:20:55,686 --> 01:20:56,928
Aye.

1753
01:20:56,929 --> 01:20:58,585
And I'm all ready
to go on this date,

1754
01:20:58,586 --> 01:21:00,345
and then he starts
projectile vomiting

1755

and running a wicked fever, so.

1756
01:21:02,935 --> 01:21:04,522
Why didn't you just say?

1757
01:21:04,523 --> 01:21:07,145
Like I said, I wanted to put
it on the table in person,

1758
01:21:07,146 --> 01:21:09,803
not just call you up
from the hospital saying,

1759

"Oh, sorry, I'm
covered in spew."

[Daniel laughs]

1761
01:21:13,532 --> 01:21:15,982
You might have run
for the hills awol.

1762
01:21:15,983 --> 01:21:16,983
Or not.

1763

[gentle music]

1764

Are you a policeman?

1765
01:21:22,230 --> 01:21:24,922
Aye. A detective [speaks
foreign language].

1766
01:21:24,923 --> 01:21:26,993
This is DC Chalmers, Manaia.

[all speak foreign language]

1768
01:21:31,205 --> 01:21:32,791
I went to hospital.

1769
01:21:32,792 --> 01:21:35,863
Yeah, so I heard.
You feeling better?

1770
01:21:35,864 --> 01:21:37,796
You like Spider Man?

1771
01:21:37,797 --> 01:21:39,798
Yeah, he's pretty cool.

1772
01:21:39,799 --> 01:21:41,559
Cool, I'm Batman, eh?

1773
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,043
If you say so.

1774
01:21:43,044 --> 01:21:44,148
I do.

1775
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:46,565
Well, that's settled then.

1776
01:21:50,258 --> 01:21:53,399
A powerful man sits
upon the throne.

1777
01:21:54,573 --> 01:21:56,368
The sword of Damocles.

1778

[phone rings]

1779
01:22:02,305 --> 01:22:03,788
Sims.

1780
01:22:03,789 --> 01:22:07,171
The theater agent from New
York, David P. Schumann,

1781
01:22:07,172 --> 01:22:08,448
doesn't exist.

1782
01:22:08,449 --> 01:22:11,486
Well, he did exist,
but he died in 1953.

1783
01:22:12,384 --> 01:22:13,798
The letter was a fake.

1784
01:22:13,799 --> 01:22:15,455
So he was well and
truly pulling the wool

1785
01:22:15,456 --> 01:22:20,461
over Neil Bloom's eyes, and
needed to impress someone.

1786
01:22:21,324 --> 01:22:22,600
Wait, what did you say?

1787
01:22:22,601 --> 01:22:25,016
Well, he was trying
to impress someone.

1788
01:22:25,017 --> 01:22:26,742
Well, Vicky Manus, no doubt.

1789
01:22:26,743 --> 01:22:28,503
No, about the wool.

1790
01:22:31,610 --> 01:22:34,025
Mike, I think I know
where the cord is.

1791
01:22:34,026 --> 01:22:35,509
The cord and jersey.

1792
01:22:35,510 --> 01:22:38,512
Huh. I'd like to talk to
everyone down at the theater.

1793
01:22:38,513 --> 01:22:41,722
Make sure Timothy Ward is there.

1794
01:22:41,723 --> 01:22:42,896
[Sue] Can we get this
show on the road?

1795
01:22:42,897 --> 01:22:44,380
I have a plane to catch.

1796
01:22:44,381 --> 01:22:47,970
Hmm, uh, the offender knew
exactly where Terrence Weaver

1797
01:22:47,971 --> 01:22:51,043
would be standing,
it was guaranteed.

1798
01:22:52,286 --> 01:22:56,289
He was an actor, knew
how to find his light.

1799
01:22:56,290 --> 01:22:58,670
Tragically for Terrence,
this phrase would become

1800
01:22:58,671 --> 01:23:02,226
all too apt with
regard to his demise.

1801
01:23:02,227 --> 01:23:04,021
The chord had to be thin enough

1802
01:23:04,022 --> 01:23:05,574
so as not to attract
the attention

1803
01:23:05,575 --> 01:23:07,265
of the lighting technician

1804
01:23:07,266 --> 01:23:09,509
as she gave the rig
a final once over.

[suspenseful music]

1806
01:23:12,582 --> 01:23:15,446
It was macrame cord that
ran back along the bars

1807
01:23:15,447 --> 01:23:18,897
and attached to a
point backstage.

1808
01:23:18,898 --> 01:23:22,004
But, as the cord was
hastily retrieved,

1809
01:23:22,005 --> 01:23:24,939
it left abrasions
on Terry's wrist.

1810
01:23:25,905 --> 01:23:28,286
[haunting music]

1811
01:23:28,287 --> 01:23:30,357
Well, where's the cord
now? I didn't see any cord.

1812
01:23:30,358 --> 01:23:31,703
Does anybody?

1813
01:23:31,704 --> 01:23:34,672
No, because it disappeared.
Almost like magic.

1814
01:23:34,673 --> 01:23:36,708
What's going on?

1815
01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:39,056
Ah, Timothy, thanks for coming.

1816
01:23:39,057 --> 01:23:41,403
Why don't you stand over
here by your fiance.

1817
01:23:41,404 --> 01:23:45,062
[slow tense music]

1818
01:23:45,063 --> 01:23:48,720
Uh, Vicky, when you were
lunching with Terrence Weaver,

1819
01:23:48,721 --> 01:23:52,725
you were wearing a pair
of distinctive earrings.

1820
01:23:56,591 --> 01:23:57,834
Recognize this?

1821
01:23:58,766 --> 01:24:00,284
Oh, that's yours, hun.

1822
01:24:00,285 --> 01:24:03,356
The ones I gave you for our
first anniversary. What?

1823
01:24:03,357 --> 01:24:06,083
This was found in Terrence
Weaver's apartment.

1824
01:24:06,084 --> 01:24:09,086
But you told me that
you'd never been there.

1825
01:24:09,087 --> 01:24:11,572
How did they get there, Vicky?

1826
01:24:12,642 --> 01:24:14,540
We know how you did it.

1827
01:24:16,956 --> 01:24:18,405
I want to know why.

1828
01:24:18,406 --> 01:24:20,649
[Timothy] You never said
you went to his place.

[slow tense music]

1830
01:24:28,313 --> 01:24:30,762
He wanted to show me a letter.

1831
01:24:30,763 --> 01:24:34,249
Oh, my god. They
do want the show.

1832
01:24:34,250 --> 01:24:36,078
When people come
to a Broadway show,

1833
01:24:36,079 --> 01:24:38,392
they expect big, epic, sexy.

1834
01:24:39,945 --> 01:24:42,153
But it's not Broadway,
it's Brokenwood.

1835
01:24:42,154 --> 01:24:45,399
What does the letter
say? It will be.

1836
01:24:48,954 --> 01:24:53,027
And, the billboard will
say, "By Terry L. Weaver,

1837
01:24:54,787 --> 01:24:57,273
and starring Victoria Dubois."

1838
01:24:58,964 --> 01:25:01,380
And you'll be there, with me.

1839
01:25:03,313 --> 01:25:07,040
You and me, taking
on the world stage.

1840
01:25:07,041 --> 01:25:08,628
Oh no, don't do that.

1841
01:25:08,629 --> 01:25:10,112
Vicky, come on.

1842
01:25:10,113 --> 01:25:11,217
No, I'm engaged.

1843
01:25:11,218 --> 01:25:13,806
What? To a digger driver? Sure.

1844
01:25:15,705 --> 01:25:17,534
What does that mean?

1845
01:25:19,157 --> 01:25:21,296
You can be so much more.

1846
01:25:21,297 --> 01:25:22,297
No.

1847
01:25:23,954 --> 01:25:26,197
What you mean to
say is yes, Terry.

1848
01:25:26,198 --> 01:25:27,750
No.

1849

Yes, I want to go to Broadway.

Don't do this.

1851
01:25:34,758 --> 01:25:36,034
Or what?

1852
01:25:36,035 --> 01:25:37,657
I'll tell.

1853

Hey.

Don't do this.

Didn't we just have
lunch together?

1856

Who's gonna believe you
weren't on a mission

1857
01:25:47,323 --> 01:25:49,083
to get what you want?

1858
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,465
You wouldn't do that.

1859
01:25:52,466 --> 01:25:55,813
Tell your digger
driver all about us.

1860
01:25:55,814 --> 01:25:57,263
No.

1861

reason to believe it.

what am I gonna tell him?

1867
01:26:16,075 --> 01:26:19,630
Will I sing your praises,
or will I have to say,

1868
01:26:19,631 --> 01:26:24,360
"Oh, little Vicky Manus, she's
nothing. Just a waitress."

[Mike] Not to get to Terry,
but to get to the light.

1915
01:29:11,665 --> 01:29:12,665
[Actor] I can't see.

1916
01:29:12,666 --> 01:29:13,838
[Vicky] I can't.

1917
01:29:13,839 --> 01:29:15,081
- What's going on?
- Got to get this light.

1918
01:29:15,082 --> 01:29:15,738
- Terry?
- Put some lights on here.

1919
01:29:15,738 --> 01:29:16,290
[Actor] Terry?

1920
01:29:16,290 --> 01:29:17,118
Terry?

1921
01:29:17,119 --> 01:29:18,325
[Actor] Some lights.

1922
01:29:18,326 --> 01:29:21,709
[Mike] So that you
could retrieve the cord.

1923
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:27,818
To quietly dispose of it.

1924
01:29:27,819 --> 01:29:30,994
[gentle somber music]

1925
01:29:33,307 --> 01:29:37,793
? Brokenwood

1926
01:29:37,794 --> 01:29:40,245
? Brokenwood

1927
01:29:42,799 --> 01:29:45,111
[Timothy breathes heavily]

1928
01:29:45,112 --> 01:29:46,424
I never meant.

1929
01:29:49,668 --> 01:29:52,499
It was supposed
to be an accident.

1930
01:29:54,121 --> 01:29:56,606
Just a silly, little accident.

1931
01:30:00,127 --> 01:30:02,301
And no one would question.

1932
01:30:05,097 --> 01:30:07,203
But now, it's all broken.

1933
01:30:08,722 --> 01:30:13,588
? Broken

1934
01:30:13,589 --> 01:30:15,452
? Everything is broken

1935
01:30:15,453 --> 01:30:18,558
? Everything is broken

1936
01:30:18,559 --> 01:30:20,698
? And he called me nothing

1937
01:30:20,699 --> 01:30:22,769
? He called you what

1938
01:30:22,770 --> 01:30:24,944
? Said I was nothing

1939
01:30:24,945 --> 01:30:28,293
? How could he say that

1940
01:30:29,501 --> 01:30:30,847
Did I mention?

1941
01:30:33,816 --> 01:30:36,991
? How much I love you

1942
01:30:40,512 --> 01:30:44,102
[gentle melancholic music]

1943
01:30:45,206 --> 01:30:47,691
[Vicky sniffles]

1944
01:30:47,692 --> 01:30:50,108
[hand slaps]

1945
01:30:51,558 --> 01:30:54,491
Vicky Manus, you've been
charged with the murder

1946
01:30:54,492 --> 01:30:56,734
of Terrence Weaver.

1947
01:30:56,735 --> 01:30:58,874
You do not have to say anything,
but anything you do say

1948
01:30:58,875 --> 01:31:00,324
will be used as evidence.

1949
01:31:00,325 --> 01:31:03,292
[gentle music]

1950
01:31:03,293 --> 01:31:05,018
[Kristen sniffles]

1951
01:31:05,019 --> 01:31:07,608
[gentle music]

1952
01:31:16,030 --> 01:31:18,654
[gentle music]

1953
01:31:21,415 --> 01:31:23,381
Well, that is one wedding
that won't be going ahead,

1954
01:31:23,382 --> 01:31:26,315
but uh, yours will be, right?

1955
01:31:26,316 --> 01:31:27,316
Yep.

1956
01:31:28,180 --> 01:31:29,180
But?

1957
01:31:30,079 --> 01:31:32,943
There's a small complication.

1958
01:31:32,944 --> 01:31:36,361
Well, you don't have
cold feet, do you?

1959
01:31:37,224 --> 01:31:40,122
Well, you did say yes though?

1960
01:31:40,123 --> 01:31:41,434
Uh.

1961
01:31:41,435 --> 01:31:42,574
You said no.

1962
01:31:44,024 --> 01:31:48,510
No, I, I didn't say no, but
I couldn't say yes because...

1963
01:31:48,511 --> 01:31:49,925
Because?

1964
01:31:49,926 --> 01:31:53,791
It's complicated
by the fact that...

1965
01:31:53,792 --> 01:31:55,552
You're still married.

1966
01:31:55,553 --> 01:31:56,898
Oh my god, you're still married?

1967
01:31:56,899 --> 01:31:58,727
No, it's just one
of those loose ends

1968
01:31:58,728 --> 01:32:00,522
that never really got tidied up.

1969
01:32:00,523 --> 01:32:01,696
Because?

1970
01:32:01,697 --> 01:32:02,560
Uh, my ex-wife.

1971
01:32:02,561 --> 01:32:03,732
In name only.

1972
01:32:03,733 --> 01:32:05,320
Yeah, and in spirit.

1973
01:32:05,321 --> 01:32:08,565
Mm, never got round to
signing the paperwork.

1974
01:32:08,566 --> 01:32:10,774
Well, how long has
she had it for?

1975
01:32:10,775 --> 01:32:12,466
About eight years.

1976
01:32:13,363 --> 01:32:14,812
She will sign it though?

1977
01:32:14,813 --> 01:32:16,331
Well, of course.

1978
01:32:16,332 --> 01:32:19,023
But, she uh, lives in a
valley eight hours south.

1979
01:32:19,024 --> 01:32:21,785
She doesn't have a phone and
she lives completely off grid

1980
01:32:21,786 --> 01:32:24,857
and uh, she is
traditionally unreliable.

1981
01:32:24,858 --> 01:32:27,687
And um, what does
Beth think of this

1982
01:32:27,688 --> 01:32:28,964
rather surprising news?

1983
01:32:28,965 --> 01:32:32,140
Uh, she flew to Oz
to visit her mother,

1984
01:32:32,141 --> 01:32:34,799
and give me time to sort things.

1985
01:32:36,594 --> 01:32:40,079
Uh, you are a dark
horse. You know that?

1986
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:43,531
Shall I compare thee
to a summer's day?

1987
01:32:44,705 --> 01:32:47,743
Thou art more lovely
and more temperate.

1988
01:32:49,710 --> 01:32:54,024
Rough winds do shake
the darling buds of May.

1989
01:32:54,025 --> 01:32:57,406
Summer's lease hath
all too short a date.

1990
01:32:57,407 --> 01:33:00,789
Sometime too hot, the
eye of heaven shines,

1991
01:33:00,790 --> 01:33:03,585
and often is his
gold complexion dim.

1992
01:33:03,586 --> 01:33:07,934
And every fair from
fair sometime declines.

1993
01:33:07,935 --> 01:33:11,939
[relaxed acoustic guitar music]

1994
01:33:20,707 --> 01:33:24,711
