1
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,680
Good morning, Chowder.

2
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,520
Madison.

3
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,880
Madison?

4
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,960
- 'm coming.

5
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Ooh.

6
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,840
Uh, when I said we could do with
a couple more indoor plants,

7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,640
I meant, like, a small peace lily.

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,280
- You didn't do this?

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,840
- How could I do this?

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Why would I do this?

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,960
- Morning, sis.

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,600
- Will?
- G'day.

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920
I slept on your couch.
Hope it was OK.

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,840
- You didn't buy some magic beans
from a farm and, like, spill them
on the carpet, did you?

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,360
- Look, I can explain.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,440
- What time do you call this?

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,120
- 'Don't start with me' o'clock.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,360
You've got something in your―

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,040
- Oh.

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Oh, Will stole some trees.

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Well, he retrieved them.

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,960
- And you were helping him?
- Absolutely not.

23
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,480
He'd better have them out of my
living room by the time I get home.

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,680
- Your living room?
- It's like an enchanted forest.

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,000
I'm expecting birdlife and deer
to wander through.

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,640
- Sounds like you
need a distraction.
- Oh, God. Please distract me.

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,720
- Meet Tiffany Maddox,
Young Businesswoman of the Year

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360
and woman to watch at
the Auckland Corporate Awards.

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560
- Seems too young to
have achieved so much.

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,560
- Yeah, she crammed
a lot into her life.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600
- Before she died? What happened?

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,720
- Two months ago, she was found
floating in a freshwater fish tank

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,280
at the aquarium where
she was general manager.

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,280
Captain Pete's
Underwater Wonderland.

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
They've got sharks, rays,
tropical fish.

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,440
You know what they don't have?

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Irukandji jellyfish. The smallest
and most deadly in the world.

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,640
This guy is Australian.
Not even found in New Zealand.

39
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,440
- And yet here you are holding one.

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,480
- Tiffany died of multiple
stings, leading to a fatal
brain haemorrhage.

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640
That little critter
was in her clothing.

42
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,040
- So somebody imported an
almost invisible murder weapon.

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Any idea how or who?
- Pretty good idea of the who.

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,960
- Well, hello.
- Mind on the job.

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Jake Brookwell is
a marine biologist.

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,200
- I mean, seriously, hello.

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,440
- Who has the knowledge
and the means to bring this
jellyfish into the country.

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,120
In the weeks before Tiffany died,

49
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880
Jake had been on a trip
to North Queensland.

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,880
- Damn it, Jake. Motive?

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,560
- Plenty. Tiffany was hired
by the aquarium to rebrand.

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,680
In other words, cut costs.

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,240
- So she let him go.

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,520
- She replaced him with his
younger and cheaper 2IC,

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Suzette Crum.

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,920
- So if everything's pointing to
Jake, how come he's still going
freely about his business

57
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,360
looking good in a wetsuit?

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360
- Because the murder weapon
is a jellyfish.

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,400
The team searched his boat twice,
but we can't find anything that's
more than circumstantial.

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,320
- All right. Better leave it to me.
- Really, Alexa?

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Didn't know you were so shallow.
- How very dare you.

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,280
I'm interested in the jellyfish.
- Sure you are.

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,920
- Tiffany had worked
for a supermarket brand,

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,080
sports shoes,

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,920
and completely modernised
an energy drink company,

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800
which she won an award
for all before she was 30.

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,840
- But shoes and drinks.

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,400
I mean, it's not like she
was an expert in aquariums.

69
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,000
- Oh, he is very
aesthetically pleasing.

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,840
- Also the prime suspect,
Jake Brookwell.

71
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,840
He has a very nice...

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,240
boat.

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920
And also a video blog about
sharks and sea mammals.

74
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,120
- Oh, I love a sea mammal.
Should we take a look?

75
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,360
- You know what I love?

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,360
When the suspect tells you exactly
how they feel about the victim.

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,880
- OK, so this was a sanctuary and
a sea animal rescue organisation

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,920
founded by the great Peter
Turlington, who was a respected
marine biologist, not a pirate.

79
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Captain Pete's Underwater
Wonderland ― who is Captain Pete,

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,880
and whose idea was it to bring on
some idiot with a marketing degree

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,080
so she could destroy his legacy?

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,480
- OK, so he was a little irked.

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,920
- Did not hold back a bit.

84
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,080
- Which isn't smart if you're
about to murder the person
you're ranting about,

85
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,280
but I suppose it could have been
a heat of the moment crime.

86
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,000
- Tell that to the jellyfish,
who travelled 4000km

87
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880
from northern Queensland
to a tank at Captain Pete's.

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,200
- Yeah, true.

89
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,800
And then there's
Tiffany's husband, Evan.

90
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640
- Oh, the restaurant owner.

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,760
He went to sleep the night
of, thinking that his wife
was working late

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,120
and didn't realise that he was
alone until the police knocked
on his door the next morning.

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,800
- He's in hospo, and
she works later than him?

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,920
- Why don't you take the widower?
I'll take the marine biologist.

95
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,160
- Sounds like a fun Friday night.

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
- Madison. Can you stop
with jokes about boys?

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,160
Madison?

98
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Jake Brookwell?

99
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,640
I'm Alexa Crowe.

100
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,240
- Let me guess. Cop?

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,240
- Well, retired.

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,800
I'm just here with a few questions,
if you don't mind.

103
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200
- I heard this,
but I didn't believe it.

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,280
Which fool decided the Irukandji
would make a good exhibit?

105
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,600
- Yeah. Good question.
Here's another one.

106
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Which marine biologist went
to North Queensland two weeks

107
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,520
before Tiffany was killed by
this fish from North Queensland?

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,880
- I went to Queensland to assess
coral, not to catch marine wildlife.

109
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,040
It's like the opposite
of what I stand for.

110
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,800
- So you say in your blog.

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,800
But you must understand
how suspicious this looks.

112
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Tiffany made you redundant,
you rant about her on your blog,

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,600
and the next thing,
she's killed by a fish.

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,880
And who knows about fish?
You. The fish guy.

115
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,840
- Did you just call me the fish guy?

116
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,280
- Yes, and I take it back.

117
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240
I don't want to be called
the murder woman.

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,080
- Do people call you that?
- Sometimes, behind my back.

119
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,280
Perhaps that's why I'm still single,
I don't know.

120
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,520
- Look,

121
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,600
I'm not great with change.

122
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,760
I live alone on a boat because
most people annoy me.

123
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,760
- Fair.

124
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,880
But in your expert opinion,
how did an Irukandji end up in
an Auckland tourist attraction?

125
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440
- It wasn't meant to be
a tourist attraction.

126
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,480
It was a rescue centre
for rehabilitation, breeding.

127
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,920
- But worthy causes aren't
profitable, so they hired Tiffany.

128
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,200
- She knows about cash flow,
apparently.

129
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Maybe she thought a dangerous
jellyfish would bring in the crowds.

130
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,600
- To look at this?

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,720
I mean, no offence, jellyfish,
but I just don't see you as a
star attraction.

132
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,040
Try again, fish guy.

133
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
- How about, I wouldn't have a clue.

134
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,280
Cos I'm surplus to requirements
at the aquarium.

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,160
And somehow, someone's died, and I'm
the one that's getting the blame.

136
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720
- Excuse me.

137
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,360
Excuse me.

138
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
- Oh, please wait to be seated, doll.
Carol will take care of you.

139
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,560
- Oh, I don't need a table.
Are you Evan Maddox?

140
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,600
- Obviously.

141
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,800
- I wonder if we could
just have a quick chat.

142
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400
- Yeah. I don't do
freebies for influencers.

143
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,800
If you want to post about my
establishment, make a reservation.
Wait time is about six weeks.

144
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,000
- Like 'm not
after a booking, I, um...

145
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,800
I just have some questions
about your recent bereavement.

146
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,240
- I don't do reporters.

147
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240
- It's just as well
I'm not one of those either.

148
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,640
I guess you work crazy hours.

149
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,600
- Yeah, it goes with the territory.

150
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,320
- But your wife worked
even crazier hours?

151
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,840
It wasn't unusual for you
to be home before her?

152
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320
- Tiff liked to burn
the midnight oil.

153
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
That's why she was so
successful at her job.

154
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,800
- Hm.

155
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,080
Oh, that's nice. You and Tiffany
have always been fish fans?

156
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,080
- No. That was a gift.
- From Tiffany?

157
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,880
- From a client.

158
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,920
- Is there anyone you can think
of who might have had a problem
with Tiffany?

159
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,560
- I'm sure she pissed a few
people off over the years,
in her line of work.

160
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,560
Corporate downsizing.

161
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,000
- OK. Fair, but death by sea
creature is very... specific.

162
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,760
- I don't know what happened.
- But you do want to?

163
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,960
- Of course  have a
full restaurant out there.

164
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,160
I lost my wife,
but I have to keep going.

165
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Keep smiling.

166
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,520
I don't have the luxury
to fall apart.

167
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Thank you for looking into this.
I hope you find an answer.

168
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,960
- Excuse me. I'm so sorry. Hello.

169
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,400
Uh, Alexa and Madison?

170
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,960
- Suzette, how do you do?

171
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:39,760
- I'm the head aquarist here, and
we still haven't hired a new general
manager, so I'm currently that, too.

172
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,920
- Thanks for making time for us.
- No, thank you for being here.

173
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,920
I miss Tiffany so much.

174
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,040
She really believed in me, and
we were on our way to becoming
a really kickass team.

175
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,920
- It must be hard for a head
aquarist to also be in charge
of the business side of things.

176
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,600
- Even just the whole interview
process to replace Tiff.

177
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,560
When I haven't even been able
to bring myself to clear her desk.

178
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,440
- Her husband hasn't been over
to collect her things?

179
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,440
- He's a busy guy.

180
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,840
- Tell me about Jake Brookwell.

181
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,840
- Jake was old school.

182
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,040
He never wanted to compromise.

183
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,440
And that's what Tiff needed from us.
All of us.

184
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760
- So you think the police
are right to focus on him?

185
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,960
- 99% of me is sure that
Jake had nothing to do with
what happened to Tiff.

186
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,640
- And the other 1%?

187
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,640
- Is wondering how on earth that
Irukandji got into our tank.

188
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,480
- Oh, this is where she was found?

189
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640
- Sorry, I have to take this one.

190
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
- Ooh, it is very calming in here.

191
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800
We should get an aquarium for home.

192
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,560
- We already have a rainforest.
- Ha-ha.

193
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:05,360
But imagine just taking time to
be mindful, watching the little
fish go back and forth.

194
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,840
- Change your screensaver.

195
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,160
- OK, sure.
I can definitely do that.

196
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,880
OK, thanks. Bye.

197
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,200
- Hey.

198
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,720
- Alexa, meet Waru,
the bad boy of the aquarium.

199
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,160
- Hello, Waru.

200
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,440
- He's been driving us crazy lately.

201
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,080
Escaping at night
and raiding the mollusc tank.

202
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,160
- Hey, what's up with the spiny
sea dragons? The tank is empty.

203
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,840
- Sometimes they like to hide.

204
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,680
I'll check with the junior
I've just hired.

205
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,840
They might be in the vet room.

206
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,920
Oh my God.

207
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,440
Oh, Waru.

208
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Yeah. What did I tell you?
He's such a brat.

209
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,560
- I hear you folk are
more intelligent than most.

210
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,120
- Yeah, they have nine brains,
one for each arm.

211
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,240
They can use tools and build
shelters and solve puzzles,

212
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,680
but they need a lot of
stimulation and entertainment.

213
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,680
- You and me both, Waru.

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
So, did you see anything that night?

215
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Let me know.

216
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,560
- Suzette seemed worried
that those spiny sea dragons
weren't in their tank.

217
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,680
- Here's a theory.

218
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,080
Jake Brookwell had been liberating
sea creatures from the aquarium.

219
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,880
- And Tiffany busted him doing it.

220
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,200
Hey, Ruben, do you have any pets?

221
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,120
- The hospo hours
don't allow for that.

222
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,480
- What about a fish?

223
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,360
- I like my fish on a plate
with lemon and pepper.

224
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Just don't tell this guy.

225
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Hey, Jake.

226
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,680
- You know Jake the marine biologist?

227
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,280
- Of course; he's my neighbour.

228
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,840
- Twice in one day?
You following me around?

229
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,680
- I'm a regular at Rubens.
I've never seen you before.

230
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:51,200
- Yeah, I spend a lot
of time on expeditions,

231
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,040
but I always take a couple of
loaves of Ruben's sourdough
whenever I set off.

232
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720
- Oh, please. You're shameless.

233
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520
Ruben obviously told you
that I make the sourdough.

234
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,200
- You make Ruben's sourdough?

235
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,400
- Which is why you said it
to win me over.

236
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,360
- What makes you think
I'm trying to win you over?

237
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,760
- Well, you should, because I'm
conducting a murder investigation
and you're a person of interest.

238
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,280
- To tell the truth, Alexa,
you're pretty interesting yourself.

239
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040
- Look, Jake, fish have
gone missing from the aquarium.

240
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
They weren't rescued by a rebel
marine biologist, were they?

241
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,120
- Well, what fish?
- Spiny sea dragons.

242
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:31,960
- They were bred there.
They're only a year old.

243
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,000
- Is it true that the octopus
gets out of his enclosure
on a regular basis?

244
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,520
- Man, he's such a character.

245
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,240
He used to squirt water at Tiffany
whenever she walked past.

246
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,240
 didn't teach him
to do that.

247
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,400
- You know, you really ought to
stop talking about how much you
disliked Tiffany.

248
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,080
- Look, I was perfectly pleasant.

249
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Too pleasant, according to her
weasel of a husband.

250
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,160
- Evan Maddox?
- He's an up-himself douchebag.

251
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400
- So he thought there was something
going on between you and Tiffany?

252
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,480
- He told me it was wrong. I might
have also laughed in his face.

253
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,440
- Will?

254
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Will Crowe.
- He's not here.

255
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680
Alexa, I have someone
I want you to meet.

256
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,960
This is my pet sprat, Damon.

257
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,920
- Are you ready for pets?
You don't do well with houseplants.

258
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720
- Even I can look after a goldfish.

259
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,240
So tell me about Jake.
What did he say?

260
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,800
- Why are you smiling?
- The forearms. Oh, the forearms.

261
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,400
- Tiffany's husband, Evan Maddox,
accused Jake of having an affair
with her.

262
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,120
- Oh, and were they? Did they?
- Mm. I can't see it.

263
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,480
He's not a fan.

264
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680
- Not even in a sexy
' hate you' way?

265
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,800
- Who does that?

266
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
- Oh, enemies to lovers is
one of my favourite tropes.

267
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,320
Along with friends to lovers,
forced proximity and forbidden love.

268
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:01,160
- Anyhoo, Jake wasn't interested in
Tiffany, but that didn't stop Evan
from making the accusation.

269
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,520
- He could be the type to
have a jealous streak, for sure.

270
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,720
- But exactly how jealous?

271
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,040
- Evan Maddox.
This is my friend Alexa Crowe.

272
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,960
- And I'm assuming you still
don't have a reservation?

273
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,480
- Why did you accuse Jake Brookwell
of sleeping with your wife?

274
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,600
- Wow.

275
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,200
- You told the police that
you and Tiffany were happy.

276
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,880
That doesn't seem like the actions
of someone in a secure relationship.

277
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:45,760
- There's no way I'm having this
conversation here, in my stadium,
on my stage, in my courtroom.

278
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,120
- So you and Tiffany weren't
on good terms when she died?

279
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,000
-  lost Tiff.

280
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Then I found something out.

281
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Out of respect for her memory,
I wasn't going to tell anyone.

282
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:05,280
But a few days after Tiff's funeral,
I went to her office at the aquarium
to collect her stuff.

283
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,480
And I found that she had
a second phone.

284
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,120
- Do you still have it?
- Yeah.

285
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,440
You'll have to charge it.

286
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,800
It's filled with messages
between her and some Randy guy.

287
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,880
- Do you have a name?
- Randy.

288
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,600
- His name's Randy, Alexa.
- He's from Canada.

289
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,640
- Oh. An online thing, then.

290
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,680
- Hello?

291
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,960
- Bathroom's down the hall, doll.
This is a private office.

292
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,960
- Oh, yeah, sorry.

293
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,280
- Need to get a sign for that door.

294
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,960
- So until you found out about this
Randy person, you thought Tiffany
was 100% faithful toyou?

295
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,360
- Correct.

296
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,640
- But you accused Jake Brookwell
of sleeping with her.

297
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,480
- She'd started a new job.
She was working late every night.

298
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,120
And have you seen the guy?

299
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960
- She has.

300
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,800
- So we're back to not being on good
terms with Tiff before she died.

301
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
- OK, fine.

302
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,360
I knew something was off.

303
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:08,440
Husband's instincts, and
now I can't even ask her
what I did to deserve...

304
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,520
- You still have your wedding photo
in pride of place, though.

305
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,520
Nice wedding ring.

306
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,880
- White gold.

307
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,160
Same as mine.

308
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,800
I just wish she hadn't kicked me
in the guts from beyond the grave.

309
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,000
- Hello?

310
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,240
- Follow the trail of breadcrumbs,
Hansel.

311
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,320
- Wow, you weren't kidding
about the enchanted forest.

312
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,040
And you got a fish.

313
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,320
- Madison did. Sprat Damon.

314
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Hey, check out this picture
of Tiffany's hand.

315
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,320
Notice anything?

316
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600
- Not apart from the
nasty jellyfish stings.

317
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,360
- She's not wearing her wedding ring.
- Ah.

318
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:58,040
- And according to her husband,
Tiffany was having an affair.

319
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,880
- He never mentioned that
in his statement.

320
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,480
- He only recently found out.

321
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:09,080
Nasty surprise when he went
through her burner phone and
discovered Randy from Vancouver.

322
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,960
- Randy's got a way with words.

323
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,960
- So does Tiff.

324
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Be good to locate that
wedding ring, eh?

325
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,200
- Yeah. I'll take another look
at the victim's property list.

326
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,960
So, this online lover guy?

327
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,440
- Madison's tracking him down
as we speak.

328
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,720
- Yeah. OK, mate. All right,
we'll get it sorted.

329
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,440
OK. They'll be gone in
a couple of hours.

330
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Found another buyer.
- Great.

331
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,760
- No. Not really. I'm selling them
for less than I've paid for them.

332
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,400
- You want me to go and see this
dodgy client and rough him up a bit?

333
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,880
- Oh, like in a police capacity?
- No, not in a police capacity.

334
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,680
- No, he kind of didn't
get what he ordered.

335
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,720
These aren't native New Zealand
trees. They're doppelgangers.

336
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,240
- Tried to rip him off?
- Oh, no. I got ripped off.

337
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,640
 was buying
native New Zealand trees.

338
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,200
And in my defence, it's a
common mistake; I googled it.

339
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,000
- Well, then it's fine.

340
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,560
So you got scammed by
dodgy suppliers? It happens.

341
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,480
- Yeah, but now
the client's accusing me.

342
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,480
They look me up,
I don't have a leg to stand on.

343
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,080
- Well, that's not fair.
People can change.

344
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,400
- Yeah. Should they?
That's the question I keep asking.

345
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,240
- Hey, do you want to go and rough
up these dodgy suppliers instead?

346
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720
- Happily. Except they ghosted me.

347
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,600
They're on Facebook Marketplace. I
know. It was a good deal, all right?

348
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000
- Too good to be true, in fact.

349
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,600
- Aside from this one very
lonely Facebook profile
with only two friends,

350
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,720
I can't find Randy from Vancouver.
- No online presence at all?

351
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,160
- Nothing.
- So he's a catfish?

352
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,040
- Yeah. But you saw
the message from Tiffany

353
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,720
about how nice it was to meet Randy
and to do other things to Randy.

354
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,360
- They met in real life.
So, not a catfish, but a fake name.

355
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:12,520
- I'll keep looking.

356
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560
And did you get the pics
I airdropped to you?

357
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760
The papers from Suzette's desk?

358
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,880
There's one that looks like a profit
report and a bunch of invoices,

359
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,640
but I'm not sure if
there's anything useful.

360
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,200
- Me neither. But  know
someone who can shed some light.

361
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,200
- Oh, I bet you do.

362
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,360
- Madison. Now, what do we say?
No giggling about boys.

363
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,720
- Yeah, I'm not giggling.
I'm just teasing.

364
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,400
- Besides, I'm not making an excuse
to see him. He invited me to lunch.

365
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,920
What about this one?
Anything out of the ordinary there?

366
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,600
- Vet bills have gone down.

367
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,160
- Is that good?

368
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,800
- Good?

369
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Yeah. If you're no longer focusing
on rescue and rehab, but trying to
become some kind of circus, sure.

370
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,640
- In your opinion, was Tiffany
the sort of person to have
a raunchy online affair?

371
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,320
- You know, if they're
cutting costs like this,

372
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,400
I get Tiffany wouldn't care.
But Suzette ― I trained Suzette.

373
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,960
- And what if Suzette wasn't
OK with the cutbacks?

374
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Is she the sort of person to take
a stand to disagree with Tiffany?

375
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960
- Now Suzette did it?

376
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,760
- I have to ask the question.

377
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,560
- OK, so does that mean
I'm off the hook, or...?

378
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,720
- There are other people on my radar.

379
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,600
- Is everyone you meet
just a potential murder suspect?

380
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:47,480
- My friend Madison says that I have
to expand my social circle, so, yes.

381
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,400
Hi.

382
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,640
- How are you enjoying the view,
Sprat Damon?

383
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,440
Is everything to your liking?

384
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,000
- My goodness. It's so nice to move
without a branch in my face.

385
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,240
- Well, that was a long lunch.
- Now I have you in my face.

386
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,720
- Did Jake get a good grilling?

387
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000
- You know, this
catfish-not catfish thing,

388
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,200
The messages just don't match up with
the picture of Tiffany I'm getting.

389
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,840
- What? Nice girls can't be naughty?
- No, that's not what I mean.

390
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,040
It seems like she was too
busy to be naughty.

391
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040
- Yeah, I can relate.

392
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,800
And

393
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,120
you're right.

394
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,240
- Do tell.

395
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,640
- Tiffany's IP address and Randy's
IP address are the same place.

396
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,800
- And  can guess where.

397
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,480
- Whoa! No, no, no.
This is a staff only area.

398
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,400
- Good evening, Evan.
- Put that down and get out.

399
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,400
- After you tell me this ―

400
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,320
why did you invent a fake
internet lover for your wife?

401
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,120
- Sorry?

402
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,160
- And write months worth
of fictional texts.

403
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,520
You really missed your calling
as an erotic fiction writer.

404
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,400
- Get away from my wine collection.

405
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,120
- Butterfingers, you know.
Sometimes I am so clumsy.

406
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,400
- Please, please,
just give me the 1974.

407
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,400
- You know what makes me clumsier?

408
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,880
People not telling the truth.

409
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,040
- No! You can't even get
that bottle in New Zealand.

410
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,440
Do you have any idea
the strings I had to pull?

411
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,280
- Your wife was not having an
affair, and someone wanted to
make it look like she was.

412
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,560
- Why? Why would anyone do that?

413
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,880
- Well, you tell me, because
guess where Tiffany and Randy
did their sexting from?

414
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,080
- How the hell would I know?

415
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,280
- Right here, Evan.
Your restaurant, your office.

416
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:46,200
You created a murder suspect.
Randy from Vancouver doesn't exist.

417
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Wait. Did you not know this?

418
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,160
This is news to you.

419
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,440
So if you didn't write the
fake messages, then who did?

420
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440
- I don't know.
- Liar.

421
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,760
- No, no, no, not the
'98 Ginette Ridge.

422
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,720
- Oh, the '98 Ginette Ridge.

423
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,880
- OK, fine, fine.

424
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Uh, there is someone else
that has access to my office.

425
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,320
It could have― Could have been her.
- Finally. Who's her?

426
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,520
Come on. Madison.
We've got a mermaid to catch.

427
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,960
- Won't be a sec.
- You want a coffee here
or, uh, get takeaway?

428
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,240
- Might as well have it here.

429
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,440
- What did you do?

430
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,720
- I just checked the kids
entertainment section of
Captain Pete's website,

431
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,200
and this mermaid is―
- We're out of milk.

432
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,880
Let's just go to Ruben's.
- OK. I just need my sunglasses.

433
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,200
- Allow me.
- Thank you.

434
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,720
- I will talk to you later.

435
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,920
- So, Angel Strawn is a drama
student who works here part time.

436
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,960
And Evan told you they were having
an affair for about six months?

437
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,880
- And Angel created this whole
catfish scenario before Tiffany died,

438
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,720
probably hoping that Evan
would leave his wife for her.

439
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,920
- And she planted the
burner phone in Tiffany's desk.

440
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,400
But Evan didn't see anything
that she created until
after Tiffany died.

441
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,200
- So did Angel get tired of waiting?
Decided to get rid of the wife?

442
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
- What? You really think
she's a serious suspect?

443
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,920
- I talked to her.

444
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Oh my God. That's her.

445
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,160
A mermaid eating pork and pastry.
- It's so wrong.

446
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,840
- Well, guess she got
the heads up from Evan.

447
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,040
Do you want to go or should I?
- Yeah, I can go.

448
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,160
- I just have some questions
about Tiffany Maddox.

449
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,400
- Why?
Why do you want to talk to me?

450
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,680
- Cos you were sleeping
with Tiffany's husband.

451
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,160
- What the actual?
Who told you that?

452
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,960
- Tiffany's husband.
I'm not here to judge you.

453
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,640
Well, not for that, anyway.

454
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,320
Maybe for the fake profiles you
created and the messages you sent.

455
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Tiffany and Randy from Vancouver.

456
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,800
It's quite the steamy romance.
- Really?

457
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Tiffany was having a thing
with a Canadian guy?

458
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,120
- You wanted Evan to leave his wife,
so you pulled a double catfish.

459
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,920
- Oh, look who hasn't pulled
the old double catfish?

460
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,160
- Mm, it's really not a thing
that normal people do.

461
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520
- Yeah, well, look, it doesn't
even matter because Evan never
snooped into her messages,

462
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,920
and now he's upset because he thinks
Tiffany actually cheated on him.

463
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,720
- That's what you
wanted him to think.

464
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,360
- Yeah, but when Tiffany was
still alive, so he'd leave her.

465
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:44,040
- And how do you know that Evan only
saw the messages after Tiffany died?

466
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,080
What if he did see them just before?

467
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,000
- Well, then he would have left her.
- Or killed her.

468
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,800
- Excuse you. Evan didn't do that.

469
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
- And you're so sure because, what?

470
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
- Because I was with him
that night in his office.

471
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,520
We made love.
- And you were together all night?

472
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,240
- We fell asleep,
and when we woke, it was morning,

473
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,840
and Evan freaked because he thought
he'd have some explaining to do.

474
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,440
But when he got home,
Tiffany wasn't there.

475
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,240
- There you go.
No second helpings for you, Buster.

476
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,120
And get that glint out of your eyes.

477
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,480
She'll never even notice.

478
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,760
- OK, so Angel is a
bit of a confused mermaid,

479
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,920
but it does seem that she and
Evan are each other's alibis.

480
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,520
- So they're not working as a team.

481
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,160
- No, I don't think―

482
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,160
What's that fish doing there?

483
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,160
- Sprat Damon? Your pet?

484
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,040
- But that's not Sprat Damon.

485
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,800
- It is.
- I'm telling you that it's not.

486
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,680
- For goodness sake, Madison.
How can you possibly tell?

487
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,320
All goldfish look alike.

488
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
- Because Sprat Damon
went down the toilet.

489
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,160
Yeah, he was floating belly up
last night, so I flushed him.

490
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,160
- You did what?

491
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,320
- Did you just try
to deceive me, Alexa?

492
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,440
- Deceive you how?

493
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160
- You thought that Chowder
had eaten Sprat Damon,

494
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,600
and you could just replace him
with another goldfish, and I'd
never know.

495
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,200
- Hello?

496
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600
- Have I told you lately that
your investigative skills
have really come along?

497
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,320
- Alexa Crowe, you are busted, and
I'm not gonna let you forget it.

498
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,640
- Kia ora. What's going on?
- Oh, just caught Alexa lying.

499
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,920
- That is very harsh.

500
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,960
- About a dead fish that
apparently leapt from the
toilet bowl back into its tank.

501
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,720
- You should just be grateful that I
care enough to protect your feelings.

502
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,560
- Can I just jump in here?
- Yes, Harry, please.
Go on. I'm all ears.

503
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,960
- There was an incident last night.
Someone broke into the aquarium.

504
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,760
It was your mate, Jake Brookwell.

505
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,800
- I was worried about the marine
life, so I went in to check on them.

506
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,280
- You couldn't do that in
regular business hours?

507
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,280
- Not if I wanted
to access all areas.

508
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,000
- The thing is, Jake, 'm trying
to prove that someone did or didn't
commit a murder,

509
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,920
then it would be good if
they would fly under the
radar just a little bit.

510
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,760
- I didn't kill anyone.
You must know that.

511
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,720
- How must I?

512
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,720
- Well, because...

513
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,200
I am not sorry for breaking in,
Alexa.

514
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
I think there's a fish missing.
- Only one?

515
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,280
- Yeah, that I noticed.

516
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,560
Stephanie is a beautiful
blue damselfish.

517
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,480
She comes all the way from
Palawan in the Philippines.

518
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720
- So, you haven't been at
the aquarium for a while.

519
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Could Stephanie have died?
- No. If fish are dying,

520
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,320
there should be reports,
autopsies to see why.

521
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,160
- You don't just flush
them down the loo?

522
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,240
I'm kidding. Obviously.

523
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,720
Come with me.
- Where?

524
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,840
- Well, murder woman wants to see
fish guy in his natural habitat.

525
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,840
Come on, let's go.

526
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,480
I'm gonna catch up
with you in a minute.

527
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,200
Hi, Angel. I'm Alexa Crowe.

528
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,000
- I know who you are.

529
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,880
Your friend said some pretty awful
things about my boyfriend yesterday.

530
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,760
- Oh, your boyfriend, Evan Maddox?

531
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,960
So he forgave you
for the catfish stunt?

532
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:18,880
- We had an amazing talk last night,
and he got that I only did it
because I love him somuch.

533
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,160
- Hey, I like your earrings.

534
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,560
- Thanks. They're basically the
most expensive thing I own.

535
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,520
Evan knows a guy
who can get him a deal.

536
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,600
- So, the mermaid
finally got her man.

537
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Stephanie's tank.
- Uh-huh.

538
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,240
- What's that over there?
- No. That's not.

539
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,960
It's male, for a start.

540
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:57,560
- Right, so what if something
did happen to the damselfish and
somebody maybe just replaced it,

541
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,080
hoping no one would notice?
- Who would do something like that?

542
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,280
- Someone who meant well.
I mean, not me, obviously.

543
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,040
- Oh, shoot.
Bit late for the warning, but...

544
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,720
- What warning?
- Stay away. Bye.

545
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,080
- Hey. Hey.

546
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Jake.

547
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,360
- That octopus is a good shot.

548
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,560
- I know you're loyal,
but come on, Waru.

549
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:30,200
I was only going to warn Jake
that the board are thinking about
officially trespassing him.

550
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,920
- Well, he was just trying
to help me out.

551
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,440
I had some questions
about fish turnover.

552
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,440
- I can answer those.

553
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,040
- How did the blue damselfish
turn from female to male?

554
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,960
- What's this got to do
with Tiffany?

555
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,960
- Maybe nothing. Maybe everything.

556
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,400
- The species is dichromatic.

557
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
- So males and females
are different colours.

558
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,880
- And so Stephanie was a juvenile
when she first arrived here.

559
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,640
And then she suddenly started to
develop this yellowy-orangey tail.

560
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,120
And we realised...
- She is he.

561
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,000
Stephanie became Stephano.

562
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,640
- Hm.

563
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,360
- That is bullcrap.

564
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Stephanie wasn't a juvenile.

565
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,480
She had a black spot on
the base of her hindmost
dorsal ray and clear fins,

566
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,800
Any half decent hobbyist could
look at her and tell you that.

567
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,600
- So either Suzette doesn't
know what she's talking about,

568
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,960
or she's counting on me not to
know what she's talking about.

569
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Hey, where does Captain Pete's
get their fish?

570
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,280
- We had an Aussie company who
offered tank-bred species,

571
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,840
or we'd catch individuals
sustainably.

572
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,720
- Is it expensive to buy
only tank bred?

573
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,400
- About three times the price, why?

574
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,280
- Just wondering.

575
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,120
- How did it go with the fish guy?

576
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,920
- He doesn't much like
being called that.

577
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,640
This is a peppermint angelfish.

578
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,560
Status symbol for high-end
home aquariums.

579
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,840
- It's pretty.

580
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,640
- Well, I wouldn't be letting
you anywhere near him.

581
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,960
He's worth $30,000.

582
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,000
- What?
- If you can find one.

583
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,440
- That is one expensive
cat treat for Chowder.

584
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,240
- He was innocent.
- He's capable.

585
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,600
- Well, anyway, I was thinking
that maybe Tiffany got herself
involved in something...

586
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,600
- Do not say fishy.

587
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,040
- Shady.

588
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,040
I was going to say shady.

589
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Hey, Suzette.
- We're closed.

590
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,280
- I know.
- Do you mind?

591
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480
What, do you work 24-7 or what?

592
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,000
- You were close to Tiffany.

593
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Was she selling fish?

594
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400
- What?
- Were you doing it together.

595
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,160
Are you still doing it?

596
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,720
- Is Jake putting you up to this?
- Nobody puts me up to anything.

597
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,720
It's just Jake knows his fish.

598
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,600
And Stephanie and Stefano
are not the same guy.

599
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,880
Is there something you
want to confess?

600
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,960
Let's go somewhere nice.

601
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,120
You can tell me all about it.

602
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,280
- I think Waru has been stealing
more than just crabs.

603
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,760
- You're blaming the octopus?

604
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,680
- About two weeks ago, I arrived
in the morning to find that we
were down half a dozen crabs,

605
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,680
and no Stephanie.

606
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,720
- Has Waru ever eaten other fish?

607
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,720
- No.

608
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:24,280
But Waru did steal my watch off
my desk a couple of months ago.

609
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,280
I found it in his tank.

610
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,200
- What does he have against you?

611
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,400
- I took his best friend's job,
I guess.

612
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Look, I know Jake thinks that Tiff
was all cost cutting and no ethics.

613
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,280
That's not true.

614
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,360
You know, not long after she
started, there were these cheaper,
newer suppliers that approached her.

615
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,000
And when I told her about their
practices, she got it. She said no.

616
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,240
- And did Tiffany know that
Evan was cheating on her?

617
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,240
- Wait, he was?

618
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,600
How do you know?

619
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,480
- His new girlfriend told me.

620
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,800
The mermaid.

621
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,400
- Are you serious?

622
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,360
- Yeah. She had her suspicions.

623
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,160
She was sure he was lying about
all those late nights here.

624
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,840
The mermaid? Really?

625
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,120
Tiff hired her, she―
- Thanks, Suzette.

626
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,560
- Hey.

627
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,080
I was reading this article
about you and your mates

628
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,920
that said you can
differentiate humans.

629
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,520
That you can like or dislike us,
and cats can do that too.

630
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,560
My Chowder is an excellent
judge of character.

631
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,040
But anyway, this article was
talking about one octopus

632
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,800
who squirted the same lab assistant
every time he passed.

633
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,920
I mean, he didn't like him.
There might have been a reason.

634
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Maybe there wasn't one.

635
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,960
I mean, some people
can be a bit annoying.

636
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,200
Yeah.

637
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,880
Waru?

638
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,360
Hey. What's up?

639
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,760
What's up, buttercup?

640
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,480
What you got there?

641
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,160
What is it?

642
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,920
Oh. Good boy.

643
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,600
Rosebank Business Park?

644
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Thanks, Waru. You're the second
best co-investigator I ever had.

645
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,240
Thanks, Waru.

646
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,600
What's it gonna be today?

647
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,920
A rare dragon fish?
A bunch of piranhas?

648
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,080
- Why are you here?

649
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,840
- I just wanted to see
where Tiffany died.

650
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,360
- I don't know what you think you
know, but this is where Tiffany

651
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,800
used to keep the Captain Pete's
on-display fish.

652
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,600
- So the deadly jellyfish
are not for display.

653
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,800
What are they for, I wonder?

654
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,800
Just a freaky bycatch?

655
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,960
See, I don't think any of
this is for Captain Pete's
or anyone who works there.

656
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,760
This is all you.

657
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,560
You love a side hustle.
Got your fingers in lots of pies.

658
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,760
I mean, the expensive
wine collection,

659
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,880
and you've got a hook up
for white-gold jewellery ―
the wedding rings,

660
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,280
and, oh, Angel's lovely
gift yesterday.

661
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:48,080
- Sorry. What is this all about?

662
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,080
- I'm glad you asked.

663
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,600
So you've got a client at
the restaurant who deals
in tropical fish.

664
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,600
Even bought you a nice little
school of your own.

665
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:06,160
But then, one night, you're
talking big over one of your
priceless glasses of wine,

666
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,280
someone mentions they're looking for,
let's say, a blue damselfish.

667
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,960
And you let slip that
your wife runs an aquarium.

668
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,480
Are you with me so far?

669
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,840
So you would take Tiffany's access
card to get in there after hours.

670
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,840
And now Stephanie is living in
someone else's home aquarium.

671
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,080
And you think, my golly,

672
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,440
there's an opening here
for a much bigger operation.

673
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,160
- Wow, that is some imagination,
Alexa.

674
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,760
- We are here, Evan.
I'm not imagining this.

675
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,880
Like, you've got all
your own dodgy suppliers,

676
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,120
but then if somebody wants something
that's a little harder to come by,

677
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,000
well, you'd just nick that card,
wouldn't you?

678
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,760
So, did somebody put in an order
for Waru, the octopus?

679
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,920
That's why you tried to steal him
last night, isn't it?

680
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,680
Waru, he was having none of it,
was he?

681
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,880
He squirted you right in the chest.
I saw your jacket.

682
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,880
A wet jacket?

683
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,200
All right. Whatever, Alexa.
Maybe I got caught in the rain.

684
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,560
- Well, you got caught in something.

685
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,560
Waru's sucker marks.

686
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,720
Tiffany caught you out, didn't she?

687
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,960
See, you're such a busy guy.
All your hustles and schemes.

688
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,280
She thought, naturally,
you were up to no good.

689
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,120
And one night, she followed you
from the restaurant.

690
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,680
Thought she might catch you
with another woman.

691
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,560
But what she found was much bigger.

692
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:40,840
You see, illegally importing
wildlife into New Zealand, that
is huge, Evan. That's big fines.

693
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,840
That's jail time.

694
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,960
And Tiffany wasn't gonna
let it slide.

695
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,000
Somehow she ended up in
the tank with the Irukandji.

696
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,640
- No, I was with Angel that night.

697
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,280
- Yeah, for part of the time.

698
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,880
You met up with her afterwards.

699
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Did your thing in the office.

700
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120
Just in case you needed an alibi.

701
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,800
And I love how you got back together
with her yesterday,

702
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,040
just to keep her sweet.

703
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,040
- Whatever, Alexa.

704
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,760
Try proving that Tiffany ever
stepped foot in this place.
She knew nothing about it.

705
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,680
She's never been here.

706
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,880
And this tank, it's empty.

707
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,800
The nursing tank
currently unoccupied.

708
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,200
- This tank is empty. Really?

709
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,640
All except for Tiffany's
missing wedding ring.

710
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,600
Why don't you get it?

711
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,000
Get it, Evan.
I mean, seriously, reach in.

712
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,920
Get it. Grab it.
- Go.

713
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,920
- Why? You need that ring.

714
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:42,720
- I'm warning you.
- Why are you warning me?
I thought that it was empty.

715
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,280
You let that venom cause a fatal
brain haemorrhage in Tiffany.

716
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,360
Just like that,
you killed your wife.

717
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,360
- She fell.

718
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,680
It was an accident.

719
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,400
- You know, if you had got her to the
hospital, she still stood a chance.

720
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,120
But then you'd have to
explain all this.

721
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:09,280
So you threw her in the back of your
car, took her to Captain Pete's, and
dumped her in the tank.

722
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,040
And that's why that octopus
doesn't like you.

723
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,880
And why he helped me work it out.

724
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,120
You see, you left this behind when
you were last there after hours.

725
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,520
- I should warn you, there are
two gentlemen on their way

726
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,720
to collect the stonefish
they spent a lot of money on,

727
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,960
and they won't be happy with someone
messing with their transaction.

728
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,640
- What Tiffany was doing with
a greedy blowhard like you,
I'll never understand.

729
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:36,720
- Ah, they're early.

730
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,360
I hope you're ready for your
swim with Queensland's finest.

731
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:53,440
- Looks like my gentleman friends got
here before your gentleman friends.

732
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,360
- G'day, mate.

733
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:00,240
- Don't say 'hook, line and sinker.'
- Wouldn't dream of it.

734
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,680
- Here's to your new old job
back at Captain Pete's.

735
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,880
- Back at the Peter Turlington
Marine Sanctuary and Aquarium.

736
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,920
I'm sorry you didn't
get to say goodbye to Waru.

737
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,920
- Wait, he died?

738
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,640
- No, no, no. He's fine.

739
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,920
He's almost 3 years old,
so I thought he'd appreciate
his last few months in the wild.

740
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,720
- You― You liberated the octopus.

741
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,160
You're a good sort, fish guy.

742
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,160
- Thanks, murder woman.

743
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,920
- I'm investigating
Coral Belton's murder.

744
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,120
- Didn't she fall down some stairs?
- It's looking like she was pushed.

745
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,360
You think Doug Belton
killed his wife for a dog?

746
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,680
- How far would you go
for the pet you love?

747
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,120
- Hey, Alexa?
- No, we cannot get a dog.

748
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,600
- How did you know
I was gonna say that?

749
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,200
- You're better than this, Will.
- I'm really not.

750
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,200
- Girl detective.

751
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,880
- Are you having an affair
with my husband?

752
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:24,680
- No.

753
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,440
- I just felt like a free steak.
- Or four.

754
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,840
- Kirk already paid for that?
