My little bell

go up, Nate. Why? It's his fault.

>> Pig mate, always

down here.

>> You won't be laughing at me tomorrow,

mate.

>> I'm going to blow the lid on at all,

Henderson.

>> I'm not getting in the U with that.

Jeez, Dad.

>> So, wait here. I have a beer. I'll drop

him home and come back. Come st

bloody disgrace.

>> I know all about her. You know nothing.

You're pissed.

Co for bloodiness.

>> Shut it dead.

I tell you, I'm going to blow the lid.

>> Give it a rest.

>> Hey, I'm talking.

>> That girlfriend of yours spice.

>> Dad, just go to bed.

>> So, I'm going to go back.

>> Your mother would be really proud of

her.

>> It's none of your BUSINESS BETTER THAN

HER.

You need to leave her alone, Dad.

>> [snorts]

>> There you are.

>> [snorts]

>> Hey,

who's there?

I never knew how empty, how

[music and singing] alone, how cold, how

slow.

Take it on a onetrack

[music and singing] railroad to the solo

seat below. If you need a place [music]

to lay your head,

I'll seat.

>> So Gary,

>> I'm thinking accident

or suicide.

>> Okay.

If Nate done wanted to kill himself,

>> this is a nicer place as any.

>> Does nice even come into it.

>> Detective Senior Sergeant Mloud

>> Mike here.

>> Mike Shepard.

>> That's me. Guilty as charged.

>> Why am I getting a call from Central?

>> Because people turning up dead always

get a red flag on our system, senior.

Besides, I've always wanted to visit

Brokenwood Carpad DM and all that.

>> Our bodies on your computers already.

>> I know. I know. Facebook, Twitter.

>> It's all a miracle to me.

>> There's nothing to indicate it's a

homicide.

>> It's a long way to come if it turns out

to be nothing.

>> Then we can all go down to the pub. Have

one [music] on you, Gary.

>> Would that be so bad?

>> Don't touch anything.

>> Should be there in a bit.

>> I'll come running to you.

Come running [music] to you.

Come running to you.

When it's all through,

I'll come running to you.

>> Kristen, can you go [music] back to the

station and meet a Mike Shepherd? Bring

him back here.

>> Shepherd?

>> Isn't he the fuel crime inspector? Yeah.

>> Coming to Brokenwood. Should we be

honored or worried? Got no idea. Some

old drunk throws himself off a bridge

and kills himself. It's hardly al-Qaeda.

>> Maybe he needs to look busy. You go.

I'll stay here. Try not to touch

anything.

>> Kristen, are you free to check out a

loitering with intent? Had a complaint

from a resident in Talmore Street.

>> Oh yeah, that's a no-go. I'm on my way

to the station. Over.

>> I know. It's on your way.

>> How could you know it's

coms? Sometimes you're like God.

>> You got to love technology.

>> Fine. Tell me more.

>> There's no lipstick on your

spend dollar.

Morning.

[crying]

Can

>> I see your license, please?

>> Why?

>> Cuz I'm asking.

>> And so am I.

It's routine check.

>> You'll have to do better than that.

>> Do you live around here?

>> No.

>> Okay. Do you have a valid reason for

parking in this neighborhood?

>> Detective Inspector Mike Shepard.

>> Hi.

>> [music]

>> Hell of a catch.

>> Yeah,

>> probably the one they wish had got away.

Too soon. Sorry. I'm never sure. Oh,

there was a note in his pocket. I'm

sorry,

Kristen. Detective Sims found that just

before your don't touch anything

suggestion.

Nice spot you picked here, Nate.

What brings you out here on a chilly

dark night?

I know.

Tell your time fell.

>> Have you finished?

pathology.

>> Who are you? Gina, this is Diapers. Mike

Gina Kinsky,

>> right? Uh, I'll see you at the

postmortem.

>> What about Gary? I thought it was his

stiff.

>> Gary can come too. More the marrier.

>> Whatever.

>> Nate Dunn was involved in a couple of

alcohol related incidents early in the

evening. Nothing unusual for him or the

town. Him like to drink.

>> Doesn't everyone, Gary?

>> So, how did he get here? No car? Well,

he probably walked. His farm's about 3ks

that way. And there were footprints

approaching the bridge. They matched the

type of shoes he was wearing.

At least he didn't drive drunk. Could

have got himself killed.

>> Or someone else.

>> Exactly. He wasn't too pissed to forget

his social responsibilities,

>> but wasted enough to end it all.

>> Suicide.

>> Or it could be as simple as he's drunk,

stumbles, falls, and on entering the

water hits his head on a rock, drowns.

>> Kristen will stay and assist you. I'll

inform the next of kin, Nate's son,

Dwayne.

>> Fair to do that myself.

>> Might be better coming from a local.

I'd say uh bad news is bad news.

Uh join me, Detective Sims.

[music]

>> Do you [music] always talk to the

deceased?

You have a problem with that?

>> Seems inappropriate.

>> They're dead

>> recently. Not already forgotten. I hope

>> they're still loved ones personalities.

>> Feels like you were teasing him.

>> 80% of all homicide victims don't

>> know the identity of their killer.

>> You bet. It's a secret they want to

reveal. Our job is to help them do it.

>> We don't know it was a homicide.

Do you like country and western music?

>> No.

>> You're just saying that?

>> No, I really don't.

>> Come on though. The best threeminute

crime stories ever sung. There's

heartache, adultery, jealousy, divorce,

death. It's all in there.

>> You prefer country blues?

>> No.

>> Country rock?

>> No.

>> You're going to love this one.

>> You have cassettes.

>> [singing]

>> You won me [music] over.

You took my heart.

One [music] wasn't another.

>> Should we call for backup?

>> Backup.

That could be embarrassing. Besides, my

car doesn't have a radio.

What? I have a phone.

>> Police. O.

>> Jeez. I uh

>> Whoa. Whoa. Can you uh put that thing

down?

>> Sorry. I was just getting my eye and um

I've got a license for it.

>> Do I want backup? Dwayne, isn't it? Uh,

I'm Detective Inspector Shepherd.

This is Detective um,

>> Sims.

>> Yeah.

>> Hi, Dwayne.

>> I can get that license if uh,

>> Dwayne, have you seen your father today?

>> Well, no, but he's still asleep through

all your target practice.

>> He's a heavy sleeper.

>> Dwayne, um, I'm afraid to tell you a

body's been found at the river. The

body's been identified as your father.

He

He's not

thought he was

>> Please take a seat, Edwin.

>> Jesus. No.

Nate Dunn's body's been found at the

river. It looks like suicide.

>> Oh my god.

>> The truth be known, Justinda. I'm glad

it's over now.

How about I come in and make you a cup

of tea?

Dad wouldn't kill himself.

>> You sound very confident about that.

>> The farm's in good shape. Prices have

been good.

>> He was happy. There was even a letter he

got a couple of days ago that cheered

him up, too.

>> What letter?

>> I don't know. He was always getting

letters, but he was happy. He was in a

real good place, you know.

>> For the record, where were you last

night?

>> I was with my girlfriend Sally. Her

place. Got back here around 6:00 this

morning.

been doing a bit of renovating.

I know DIY is never my strong point

either.

>> It's not me you should be looking at.

You spoken to Philip Henderson.

>> Never.

>> Why should I do that?

>> He hated my father.

>> Mind if we have a look around?

We'll need to take some of the stuff to

the station. Dwayne,

>> it's not a crime scene, right? So why?

>> We need to find out what happened to

your dad. Maybe the answer is in here as

much as out there.

>> I know. Tell you what, we'll um

photograph the rooms in detail, but

we'll have to take this stuff.

Otherwise, detective Sims here will have

to work through it on site. That could

take quite some time.

>> Good.

>> Sure.

Dwayne, November the 17th. Was that your

parents' wedding anniversary?

>> Um, no. That's the day dad asked you to

marry him.

That bloody river.

Today's the 18th.

Oh, this uh Philip Henderson. I'll talk

to him. Okay. You don't need to do that.

As long as I don't stuff it up, like 10

years ago,

>> I'll do my best not to stuff it up.

Dwayne,

>> it was a hit and run. Dwayne's mother,

Evelyn, that's Nate's wife, was run down

in Jameson Road

>> 10 years ago.

>> Yes.

>> Cold cut.

>> Yeah. But it was clear from the evidence

at the scene that she was on the grass

verge when she was run down. Car

involved swerved and deliberately

knocked it down.

So, it's an unsolved murder.

>> Yes.

>> What else?

>> There were rumors of spousal abuse in

the family. Evelyn was seen bruised on

occasion. Nate was an ugly drunk.

>> So, between you and me, Nate killed her.

>> I just couldn't prove it.

>> Two murders, 10 years apart.

>> Nate Dunn's death could have been

suicide.

>> No, he didn't go to that bridge to kill

himself.

>> And you're sure? Because

>> because he was murdered.

>> Just what are you doing in Broken Wood?

>> Just bringing the field into field crime

inspector. Gary flash title. Got to earn

my keep.

>> I've got an appointment. Just call me if

you need anything.

There are hundreds of bits of paper

here. copies of letters written by Nate

Dunn.

>> He copied letters he sent to people.

>> It'll take time to go through it.

>> Yeah.

>> Uh but the note found on Nate matches

his handwriting. DC Breen here

corroborated Dwayne's alibi.

>> Oh, good day. Sam Breen.

>> Sam Mike.

>> Yeah. Dwayne's girlfriend, uh Sally

Clive, says he was with her. So,

>> okay.

>> Um I dug this out for you. It's the file

on that old hit and run case involving

Nate's wife. Considerable evidence was

collected at the scene. Glass fragments

from headlights, tire impressions, flex

of paint, uh, metallic gray, although it

was hard to determine what shade of

metallic it was exactly. All

manufacturers used different names.

Liquid gray, mountain shadow gray,

galaxy shadow, platinum gray.

Apparently, there are many shades of

gray.

Yeah. Well, [clears throat] I get the

impression there were no strong leads.

>> Plenty of unsolicited statements from

people in the town.

>> Most of them point to Nate without

providing any evidence.

>> Common knowledge. He beat her regularly.

>> There's no record of her ever making a

complaint.

>> Gary was the investigating officer.

>> Yeah.

Oh, and um that list,

not everything that's supposed to be

there is in the box.

Sims. Yeah,

>> it's Philip Henderson. He's back at his

place.

>> Yeah. Uh, thanks, Mr. Henderson. We'll

be right over.

>> Should we go? Well,

>> I'm I'm good.

>> Well, I don't mind.

>> No, no. As you say, that's going to take

some time.

This place [music] is 100% organic

certified.

That's not an easy status to get or

keep.

Especially when Nate Dun made a habit of

spraying his pesticides whenever the

wind was blowing my way deliberately.

>> Yeah. Didn't give a stuff.

>> Nice coffee.

organic.

>> Nope.

>> So, Phillip, did you kill him?

>> You're talking about the altercation in

the pub?

>> There was an altercation?

>> Yeah. Nate was drunk. Surprise,

surprise. And when he's drunk, he

usually, at least once a year, brings up

his theory about something going on

between me and his late wife.

>> When was that? I'm not even going to

dignify that with an answer. [snorts]

>> Go on, dignify it.

>> I was not involved with Evelyn Dunn.

>> Yeah, we were good friends, but uh not

lovers. Even if Nate was raving last

night about blowing the lid on

everything.

>> What does that mean?

>> Who knows?

>> Nice camera. Do you take these?

>> Yeah, something of a hobby.

>> Broken wood is a nice place to

photograph.

Yeah, it is.

>> Nice place in general.

>> So, who here would want to kill Evelyn

Dunn?

>> 10 years ago,

I would have thought Nate killed her.

>> And now,

>> I don't know.

I can tell you what I told Gary back

then.

>> Evelyn came to me that night.

>> Mate used to beat her when he was drunk.

I'm sorry.

>> Everyone knew that.

>> I don't want to be in pain.

>> That night, she came to me just to talk

to a friend.

>> I'll admit I tried to talk her into

leaving him, but

>> I should go.

>> She wouldn't do that.

>> Anyway, she thought he'd be asleep when

she got home, so it

>> was safe to go back.

>> Thank you.

I mean it.

>> She refused to lift. Didn't want to be a

burden.

That was the last time I saw her alive.

[music]

I was the one that found her the next

morning.

I thought someone had just dumped

something in there like a [music]

looked like a small bundler.

>> Where were you last night, Philip?

>> I would rather not say.

>> I'd rather not insist.

I was with someone,

a woman at her place all night.

>> And does this woman have a name?

>> Yes.

>> Yes. Being her first or last name?

>> Come on, mate. It's a small town. You

got to be discreet. You understand?

>> Okay. But depending on what other

details emerge, I may need to know the

name of your friend. Small town or not?

>> It won't come to that. I have got

nothing to hide. apart from the identity

of your friend.

Thank you. It's uh enlightening.

[music]

>> There is one [music] other person you

should talk to. Justinta Okconor. So

this would be your friend?

Not

>> my type. Maybe more Gary Mlouds.

Did they find anything?

>> No.

>> Are you sure they've been in your

father's room?

>> Silly, calm down.

>> Do you realize what's at stake here? If

they find evidence,

>> I don't let them take everything.

>> It's a bit early for that, isn't it?

>> Well, I need something, don't I?

>> Is it bad?

Yeah, it's real bad. What are you going

to do about it?

>> I can't deal with this right now.

>> You're just going to bug her off.

>> I have to go back to work. You can't let

them find anything, Dwayne. You just

can't.

>> Nate Dunn killed my sister, even if the

police couldn't prove it.

>> You seem very sure.

>> The whole community was sure.

>> So, tell me about Evelyn.

>> Younger, prettier.

Evelyn had everything to live for

and he took that all away. Now the

coward's taken his own life. It's It's

pathetic and upsetting.

>> Actually, suicide is unlikely.

>> You mean this is a murder investigation?

>> Still waiting on autopsy.

>> I'll try to help, but uh policemen are

hardly my favorite people.

>> Not even Gary Mloud.

>> Especially silly Gary Mloud. He stuffed

up Evelyn's case.

Why would I expect anything different

from you? Excuse me if I'm being too

blunt.

>> I have no problem with blunt.

>> Excellent. I need to be somewhere.

>> Can you give me a lift?

>> There's blunt and then there's cheeky.

>> We can talk on the way.

>> Yeah, it's lost a little cushioning over

the years, but it's a small price to pay

for originality.

>> If you say so. They don't make them like

this anymore.

>> Yeah, there's a reason for that.

>> You said Blunk was good.

>> You like country music?

>> Really?

>> So, who [singing] in Brokenwood had a

motive for murder?

>> Nearly [music] everyone.

[singing]

All the days, the nights, the love.

Seems it don't matter to much, but a

whole [singing]

tears. [music]

>> As Dwayne's auntie, do we manage to stay

close?

>> He was only 15 when my sister died, and

uh it hit him really hard.

You know, he got the best of his mother,

but sadly the worst of his father as

well.

So, no.

Since Evelyn's death, it's been awkward,

I'll admit.

>> You like it? I bought her 6 months ago.

>> Farming, eh? I'm in the wrong game. Are

you away for long?

>> I'm in Hawks Bay for business back in a

couple of days.

>> Nate made a comment to Philip Henderson.

Um, he mentioned blowing the lid on

something.

Any idea what he was referring to

>> with Nate? Who knows?

Maybe jumping off a bridge was Nate's

way of confessing to murdering my

sister.

>> If it was suicide,

>> as I said, unlikely.

Oh, and uh before I forget, for the

record, last night

>> I was home alone

all night.

>> [music]

>> Sims

>> Kristen,

>> where are you?

>> Uh, just seeing a woman about a plane.

Dwayne Dunn's girlfriend.

>> Yeah, Sally Clyde is her name.

>> Ah, that's it. Hey. Um, where would I

find her?

>> Hey,

>> just stay where you are.

>> What do you want,

>> S?

>> You can't just turn up like this. I

can't do it. Not today.

>> You have to.

>> No, I don't have to do anything.

>> What's done is done. What difference

does it make now?

>> I crossed a line, Wayne. But if we keep

our heads down, it might be okay.

>> Just do it, Sally. Everything okay?

>> Yeah, she's fine. No worries. You sure

about that?

>> Yeah, everything's cool.

>> Okay, I think Silly could do with a bit

of space. Dwayne, go home. Cool off a

bit, eh?

>> What was the uh argument about, Sam?

>> Just relationship stuff. Dumb stuff, you

know.

>> Oh, yeah. Tricky business. Just ask my

ex-wife. All three or four of them.

>> Still, Dwayne's just lost his father.

You'll maybe have to cut him a bit of

slack.

>> Yeah, it's a crap time.

>> The uh bouncer at the pub mentioned that

you and Nate exchanged words on the

night he died.

>> There's nothing unusual about that. He

disapproved of me.

>> Dwayne drove him home, [sighs and gasps]

left me at the pub. Can you believe it?

>> And later, did you see Nate again?

>> No.

>> Dwayne?

>> Yes.

I left the pub, walked home. He brought

me some flowers.

Sometimes he can be a sweet guy. He

slept the night at my place.

>> Why did Nate disapprove of you?

>> He disapproved of everything.

>> Everything? Wow, that's big.

>> He was a sad, paranoid old man.

>> In what way? Was he a guy who had a few

conspiracy theories? Or was he the type

who saw men in white coats climbing out

of his cornflakes? He imagined things.

>> That ticks both boxes.

>> He just didn't like me. He didn't like

anybody

>> except his wife.

>> Well, you had a funny way of showing it.

>> So, was Dwayne capable of killing his

father?

>> I really can't answer that.

[music]

Hey,

>> I didn't think I'd see you again.

Thought that was part of the deal.

>> I was in town. Saw you. Thought I

shouldn't, then I did.

>> Why are you here?

>> In Brokenwood

work.

How are the kids?

>> Justin,

>> you like it here?

>> Too bad if I don't, right?

>> It's not exactly the Gold Coast, but I

have to do, I guess.

>> But you're making friends.

>> I'll meet people through the kids school

and stuff.

>> You seeing anyone?

>> Is that any of your business? No, but

it's all part of moving on, new

beginnings and all that.

>> No, it's just me and the kids.

>> I still have that old cassette that you

gave me,

>> Paty Klein.

>> I never thought I'd admit this, but

I actually listen to it.

So sad. It makes me smile. Country music

will do that to you.

I uh I have to go.

Take care, [music] Tony.

You found me. [music]

You don't make it easy. You own this.

>> Well, a bank does. 10 acres, foreign

grape.

That's supposed to be the retirement

plan.

>> Supposed to be.

>> Well, price of grapes aren't what they

used to be. Market's over supplied.

Hence, I never got around to building

the dream house.

>> Still pretty nice.

>> Every morning it reminds me I'm well

behind on my mortgage payments.

>> Things that bad?

>> Well, when you're due to retire, the

banks don't want to bloody know you.

>> Uh, autopsy report. It's definitely a

homicide.

>> So, you were right.

>> Yeah. Blow to the head. He was dead

before he had the water.

>> What' they use?

>> It's all in here.

>> I'll take your word for it.

You want one or you still on duty?

>> No, but uh don't let me stop you.

>> I won't. Need something to take the edge

off?

>> Bit of a crap day.

>> Going through the uh files on that hit

and run. There seems to be a few items

missing.

>> Ah,

this will be them.

Burned me. My biggest failure.

Evelyn's sister, Justinta, calls me

incompetent. She's probably right.

Evidence was compromised.

Seal on one of the bags was open before

it reached the crime lab. Paint samples

went missing for a week.

>> Did you screw up?

>> We did our best.

>> Sounds like you screwed up.

>> And all your cases go perfectly.

Sometimes things just don't go your way.

This case, everything went pear shape.

These are the photos from the crime

scene.

Someone, whoever it was that did it,

laid her out very carefully

as if they were trying to make her

comfortable.

Guilt, maybe.

[cough and clears throat]

>> You okay then? I go through them from

time to time, hoping to connect

something I didn't connect before.

It's a hard one to let go of. Mike,

>> I can see that.

What about Nate Dunn?

>> Nothing yet. Dwayne and Sally have given

each other alise. Everyone else was at

home alone.

No witnesses.

>> I was home all night, too. Alone.

That's life in broken wood. Actually,

Phil Henderson said he was with someone,

a woman.

>> That figures.

>> Why is that?

>> Well, it's usually got a couple on the

go.

>> Farmer, single, welloff, living the

dream.

Or do you think he's lying?

>> Has uh anyone else seen this material?

>> I've shown it to Justinda O'Connor a

couple of times. The case was cold,

Mike.

Just wanted to reassure her. Didn't

work.

She never lets me forget then.

[clears throat]

Cell

bl

this isn't funny.

The thing is that we

got something.

>> Good morning.

>> You ever come across a Tanya Freeman?

Part Miy late 30s, two kids.

>> She lives in Broken Wood

>> last 12 months.

>> She's never come up on my radar.

Why?

>> No reason.

>> Well, how could I know her or anyone? I

have no life.

>> I've been going through 10 years of

correspondence from Nate Dunn. I was

here till 3:00 a.m. at least bought me a

coffee.

bastard.

>> Car manufacturers, smash repairers, hire

car companies, the police.

Make Dunn has been trying to find the

car that hit his wife for 10 years.

Hardly the actions of a guilty man,

>> but of an obsessive man. Yes,

Mike. It's meticulous. Every clue he

followed up, every lead he chased down

like he was some sort of frustrated

detective

>> or a bloody good one.

>> The thing is, there are no replies here,

just copies of every letter he sent out.

>> So, he wasn't getting anywhere.

>> Replies must exist.

somewhere secure, maybe.

>> Here's the other material from the

hidden run file. Gary had it.

>> Can you uh

>> You want me to look through this, too?

>> H shots fired at the Henderson place.

>> Were you hit?

>> Uh, nearly. No, these are these are

splinters from um Look at my buddy tire.

I could have been killed.

>> Did you get a clear look at the person

that fired the shots?

>> Yeah. Yeah, it was Dwayne D.

>> You sure?

>> Yeah. He wasn't trying to hide. He uh he

just took off uh that way towards his

[music] place.

>> How long for armed defenders?

>> Uh two, maybe three.

>> Come on, we'll do it without.

[music]

>> Let's go.

When everyone's ready.

>> Dwayne, how are you, fella?

>> You got a thing against letter boxes,

Dwayne?

>> Nah. Got a thing against bastards,

though. I bet. Then you put the gun

down. Much easier to talk without it.

>> Nah.

>> The thing is, well, two things.

Firstly, you keep waving that around,

you're going to get yourself shot.

Secondly,

that's a Holden Kingswood. 1971, all

original.

>> Yeah, it's sweet ass.

>> Yeah, I think so. I'd really hate to see

a hole in it. Messes with the resale

value. Sure, it may add a certain

gangster mystique charm, but I don't

want to sell.

>> So, Dwayne, there's um there's been a

misunderstanding. We're going to have to

talk about that.

>> Philip Henderson was in my house last

night.

>> Doing what?

>> Robin the place. Thought you were going

to do something about him.

>> If you want to press charges, you'll

have to fill out some forms.

You'll need two hands for that. He

>> was going through my father's room and

he hit me.

He was having an affair with my mother

10 years ago.

>> All important information, Dwayne. Thank

you.

>> And he killed her.

So, I wanted him to know that I know

that everyone knows.

>> Don't fire. Just relax, everyone.

>> Okay. Well, I think Philip got the

message. Fine. And there's no reason for

any of this. There's no reason for

anyone to get hurt,

especially me, right?

I want to find a way out of this,

Dwayne. And the way out of it is that

you give me the gun and we talk about

everything that's bugging you. How's

that work for you, mate?

Just give me the gun

so that all this can go away.

>> Go, go, go, go.

>> Take him back in the tower.

You okay?

>> Someone was after something in the

night's room last night.

>> But we've already considered everything

in there.

>> Maybe we have.

>> Did you get him?

>> Dwayne is in custody.

>> Good. Have you not throw the damn book

at him?

>> Philip, were you snooping around Nate's

place last night?

>> No. Why?

>> Uh Dwayne was attacked by someone.

Thought it was you.

>> Well, I wasn't. I've never even been to

the place. Why would I?

>> Well, hoping you could tell me that.

>> Okay, this is ridiculous.

>> Where were you last night, Philip?

Another sleepover. Same woman. Ah,

>> that would be telling.

>> Perhaps I already know.

>> How?

>> Small town. Tell me it was the same

woman.

>> How is that any of your [music]

business? It is in ways that you can

only imagine.

Shepherd,

>> never phone, you never write. Was it

something I said?

>> Guess I'm on broken wood time.

>> Talk to me about Gary Mloud.

>> It's uh as you suspected

>> meaning exactly.

>> He's not big on detail.

>> Time for him to go.

>> Well, maybe you just need some time off.

>> He's saying he's overworked in

Brokenwood. Please. The Dun case. The

one he never closed.

>> Yeah. Had a toll. He took it personally

too personally.

>> The new Dun case. Are you making

progress?

>> You there?

>> I'd have more of a chance if you didn't

want to gossip like an old woman all

day.

>> Keep me posted. And I mean that, Mike.

No surprises.

tricky bugger.

>> The replies to Nate's letters,

>> replies from panel beaters, higher car

companies, spray painters. He was

relentless. It took him years, but Nate

managed to find two panel beaters that

did repairs to cars with metallic gray

codes, specifically G7 Gump out of gray

within the time frame.

>> But Gary checked with all the car

repairers

>> locally. Yes. Gary was very thorough in

a 50k radius kind of way. But nay nay

went nationwide.

He never gave up.

>> So the car was a Ford

>> Ford Falcon XT, a higher car. The higher

company had destroyed the records from

the time. So Nate couldn't determine who

hired it. Oh,

>> be so close.

>> What if he did solve it? What if the

letter he received, the one that Dwayne

said, made him so happy, was the final

piece in the puzzle?

>> This is what Philip Henderson was

looking for.

>> Mr. Henderson says he's never been

inside Nate's house.

>> What if he's lying?

>> He was with someone last night.

>> Who?

>> Someone you don't know.

>> Okay, so then who not Wayne sensless

looking for these?

>> That remains the question. I'm guessing

you want me to look through this.

[snorts]

>> Oxycodone.

Heavy stuff.

>> No name on the packet.

>> No, but clearly Nate's

>> maybe.

Any prescriptions in his possessions?

>> No.

>> Has um Dwayne been processed?

>> Uh yeah, charged. He's in the cells.

Probably not sober yet. Order parents

set for tomorrow.

I also uh found this

>> password protected.

>> Get it to the lab.

>> Detective [music] Inspector Shepherd, is

um Sally available for a quick chat?

>> I'm sorry. She's already left. Can I

help? Ah,

>> it's not urgent. I'll catch up with her

tomorrow.

Good day. No one home. So it would seem.

You uh always drive like that. So it

would seem detective inspector.

>> Shepherd. I know. I seen the car around

town, bro. It's the uh 71 model,

>> huh? You're familiar.

>> Well, they really should have put a V8

engine into it. Eh,

>> you are familiar.

>> Jared Mhoo. Neighbor.

>> Technically, I'm still on duty. Well,

technically I don't give a rats.

>> Another time

>> refusing my Kai.

>> Technically that's culturally offensive.

>> Then technically I'm Jewish smoker.

>> Gary's usually around at this time of

the day. He enjoys a beer, but uh

I guess we'll have to wait. How long you

lived in Browood, Jared? I was born

here.

>> You know everybody in town? Everyone

worth knowing?

What do you think of Philip Henderson?

>> You'll screw anything that walks. Not

judging or anything.

>> Dwayne Dunn,

>> bit of an enigma wrapped in a puzzle.

Yeah, that's Dwayne. Gary Mloud. Ah,

Gary's a real good guy.

Nate Dunn

probably murdered his wife. And if I

said I don't think he did,

well then I guess somebody got away with

murder.

What exactly do you do, Jared? Apart

from drive like a maniac. Oh, a bit of

this, a bit of that.

It's a great place that Gary's got here.

Oh,

>> the late Gary Mloud.

>> I see you two have bonded. That's nice

for you. Oh, bro. What's happened? Banks

foreclosed on me.

>> Oh, they won't renegotiate the loan.

I've known Barry Tmaine for 20 years.

The prick. They're selling this place

out from under me. Hey,

>> and you know what you should do?

is rob the bank and use their money to

pay for it. That'll show them.

Probably not an actual option, but just

say, "Hey, could you give us a minute?"

>> Gary, you've been uh missing all the

action, or should I say missing in

action?

>> Yeah, sorry. Tough day.

>> Dwayne Dun's in the cells firearms

incident this morning. Shots fired. He's

dug himself quite a hole.

>> Things have livened up in town since

you're right.

>> Gary, is there something you want to

tell me?

>> Mike, I think it may be a good idea if

I'm not in the loop. You know, I've got

baggage with this stuff with you here.

What do you need me for?

>> Then take a couple of days off.

>> Might just do that.

>> Thanks for the beer. Chew.

Your eyes are swimming alcohol [music]

days to [music]

you leaving

the time that I was gone.

The sun dreams will be away.

Jesus.

>> Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

Oh, well, actually, I did. You see, when

you creep around people's houses in the

dark, well, it's it's kind of weird,

really.

>> I was looking for Dwayne.

>> Really?

in Nate's room

when he's in custody as you know. Or

where are you looking for this?

Am I going to find your fingerprints on

this, Sally?

>> Probably.

>> This was found in Nate's possession,

even though he wasn't prescribed

anything of this nature.

>> Typical. He'd keep it as something to

have over me.

They're for Dwayne,

>> but not prescribed for Dwayne.

>> I met Dwayne when he was a patient about

18 months ago. He'd had a farm accident,

multiple leg fractures.

He got totally hooked on those and

started hesling me for more.

>> So, you stole them for him.

>> I just wanted to help him. Then I said I

wouldn't do it again. And that's what

our argument was about.

>> So, Nate obviously knew.

>> He said he was on to me.

He could have ended your career,

couldn't he?

But he didn't.

>> I can't explain that.

We're going to have to sort this out

down the station, Sally.

>> Yeah. Bring the car up.

>> I suppose you're involved in Gary

Mloud's [music] treatment.

>> Gary? No, he's an outpatient.

Bummer for him. Eh,

>> how's he handling it?

>> As well as any of us, I suppose. I mean,

how would you feel if you found out you

had terminal [music] cancer?

>> [music]

>> I uh bought you coffee.

>> Wow. Not even [music] secondhand.

>> Nice work on Dwayne's girlfriend, by the

way.

>> Thanks.

>> I figured you out.

>> You have? I have.

>> Well, you've succeeded where so many

ex-wives didn't.

>> So many. How many have you got?

>> You're not looking for help from me.

You've got me reading through all this

so I can see that Gary botched the

original investigation.

>> Partly true.

>> What right have you to waste my time?

>> If I told you that Gary botched

everything, would you have believed me?

I need us to look at everything,

especially the hit and run, from a

completely fresh perspective,

unencumbered by loyalty.

This was in the old file. Gary's

handwriting. Nate made a complaint.

Accused Philip Penison of stealing his

coat.

>> Is there a date on that?

>> A week after Evelyn died.

This isn't a formal document.

>> Do we have any record whether he

followed up on this?

>> Not that I can see.

>> Mr. Henderson Mike Shepard.

>> Yeah. What is it?

>> That final night Evelyn Dunn visited

you.

>> Yeah.

>> Was she wearing an oil skin coat?

>> Yeah. Yeah, she was.

>> You sound sure.

>> Yeah, I remember. She looked kind of

ridiculous in it. It was too big for

her.

>> She probably slung on Nates or Dwayne's

or something.

>> And that next morning when you found

her, what was she wearing?

>> She was only wearing a dress.

>> The coat wasn't nearby.

>> No, no, no. I would have seen it.

>> Did anyone ever question you about that

coat?

>> I don't think so. How?

>> Thanks. On another matter, how would you

feel about dropping the complaint

against Dwayne Dunn?

>> He was trying to kill me.

>> Threatening to kill. He just lost his

father. He's affected by medication.

He's an emotional wreck for lots of

reasons.

>> Not the least of which is the belief

that his mother was having affair with

you

>> when she died.

>> Yeah. Okay. That's a completely baseless

accusation.

>> Is it?

>> Yeah. I did not sleep with Evelyn. I

swear.

>> But you wanted to. And it's always a

very messy [music] business when the

details of someone's love life get

played out and caught.

>> It's a small town, remember?

[music]

>> Yeah. The cancer spread from my lungs to

the other organs.

They're saying 6 months. I think they're

optimistic.

>> I'm sorry to hear that.

>> Not as sorry as I am. I'll bet. Do you

want one? No. Uh 10 years ago um few

days after the hit and run. Nate Dunn

reported a missing coat.

>> An old oil skin or something? Yeah.

>> You ever follow up on it?

>> No. Nate thought that Philip Herson had

stolen it. He was a paranoid. Probably

in a cupboard somewhere.

>> But you never followed up on it. It

>> didn't seem important.

>> Nate was a drug.

>> Everything's important until it isn't.

>> You suggesting something with all Gary.

Evidence compromised. Leads not followed

up. It was a coat.

>> A coat that Evelyn was wearing that

night. What if the person that killed

her thought they were killing Nate? And

if that's true, they then remove the

evidence that pointed to that. [cough]

>> I'm sorry.

>> Don't apologize for doing your job.

I'm sorry. You're right.

>> You need to lay off that stuff. Can't be

helping.

>> What does it matter now?

>> Thank you, Detective Shepherd. It's not

every day somebody turns up to help me

park my plane. You're quite the

gentleman. So, is it business or

pleasure?

>> I thought you might need a ride back

home since I dropped you here.

>> So, no country music today.

>> You can't have too much of a good thing.

Here's a random question.

>> So, it is business.

>> Do you ever remember Evelyn wearing an

oil skin coat?

>> No, never. You seem very sure. It

>> wasn't her style. Why?

>> Just following up a lead.

>> A lead you won't tell me about.

>> Correct.

>> She was my sister, detective.

>> Yes, she was. It was a tragedy.

Uh,

>> for the record, I never asked where you

were on the night Evelyn died.

>> I was in Palmyon North for the 3 days

prior at a farming conference. I cut my

trip short when I heard the news. But

>> then my original statement to that

effect would be in the file, wouldn't

it?

Thanks for the lift.

[music]

>> What the hell did he say to Gary?

>> Uh,

>> he just called. He sent his resignation

into head office effective immediately.

>> Oh,

>> in fact, I don't care what you said. You

need to know I am sick of this lone wolf

corpse whisperer crap. You barge in

here. Take over. You don't need me. You

don't need help. Good luck.

>> I can't take that.

>> Why is it beneath you?

>> My hands are full.

>> I've already have one.

>> Silly me.

That'll teach me for not being very

observant, being too caught up in my own

lone wolf crap.

You're right. I should have been more

>> inclusive is the word you're struggling

with.

>> Yes.

>> So, you're saying I'm sorry.

>> Yes.

>> Well,

>> what?

>> You haven't actually said it yet.

>> Gary has cancer.

terminal.

>> Oh my god.

>> Damn.

>> Well, Gary,

>> how did you

>> I kind of stumbled upon it when I was

making inquiries at the hospital. I

thought it might be relevant to the

case. Therefore, I thought you should

know.

>> Relevant how?

>> I said it might be. Anyways, all the

more reason to get a result for Gary.

Come on. I've had a thought.

>> Oh, yeah. I'll just follow you then.

Lie down.

How long have we known each other?

[snorts]

This isn't very comfortable. Mhm. Look

up.

It's a natural amphitheater here.

The slope stops the light and broken

wood interfering with that.

Got to imagine it's night.

And November the 17th. The Lean Meteor

shower.

>> The Leads Meteor shower.

>> November the 17th. Every year without

fail, meteors in a good year. Up to two

every minute.

Every year. Nate and Evelyn walked over

here from the farm.

Perfect place to watch it.

>> How do you know?

>> Remember Dwayne told us that Nate

proposed to our head.

Imagine these two youngsters happy and

in love. This was their special place

there.

Anniversary place.

Meteorites.

Nate was a [music] collector

>> and November 17 was the night he died.

>> You got it. Someone knew he would be

coming here that night.

>> But who would even know that?

>> Apart from Dwayne.

>> Whoever did is Nate's killer.

Dwayne Dunn has been released on bail.

Seems a threatening to kill charge

against Henderson [music] has been

downgraded to firearms offenses.

>> Any conditions on bail?

>> He's to reside with Justinta Okconor,

>> the loving aunt.

I know this must seem a bit odd. It's

like we're strangers, but I never

[music] meant it to be like that.

>> You and dad didn't get on.

>> Well, I wasn't alone there. Nate was a

difficult man. It must have been really

hard on you.

>> It wasn't.

Dwayne,

he's gone. There's no reason for you to

be scared anymore.

>> I love my dad. I know everyone used to

think he beat my mother. He only got

violent when he drank too much.

You have no idea how much he loved mom.

>> Dwayne, I want us to be close. I know he

beat you, so you don't need to.

>> He never beat me.

It was me.

I used to lose control, lash out. Blind

rage they [music] called it.

Mom was so embarrassed. She wanted to

protect me. Didn't want to be the mother

of the uncontrollable son.

That was our big family [music] secret.

>> Oh my god. So, dad caught the blame, but

now they're both gone. Doesn't matter so

much, does it?

I'm going to go see S.

>> Morning. So, what are our lines of

inquiry today?

>> M inclusive.

>> Too much. Am I overdoing it?

>> No, I like it.

>> Must be the Broken Wood vibe.

>> Vibe. Wow, that's hip.

>> What? Next you'll be saying Groovy. I

won't be able to cope.

>> I remember Groovy.

>> Uh yesterday you mentioned the Leanese

media shower.

>> Found this report.

Nate was picked up 5 years ago drunk and

disorderly November 17 on the road. He

told the constable he was going to the

river to watch the meteors like I do

every year.

>> This was in Gary's file.

>> Yeah. He wasn't the arresting officer,

but he must have known it was relevant,

so he put it in there.

>> So Gary knew Nate went there every year.

>> Has he ever mentioned this?

>> No.

>> So, as we decided yesterday, whoever

killed Nate knew he'd be there.

>> We didn't decide anything.

>> Kristen,

>> don't go there. Okay. It's offensive.

>> I'm asking for your professional

opinion. I'm sorry. Gary had reason to

blame Nate for his biggest failure. He

He felt he'd gotten away with murder.

He's dying of cancer and he's got

nothing more to lose. Are you telling me

that there's no way he could have killed

Nate Dunn?

>> Be objective. Take away the personal.

What do you see?

>> It's possible, but highly un

>> It's got a bit more complicated up here.

There might be a serving member

involved.

>> Mloud.

>> How? Are you sure?

>> No, I'm just giving you a heads up.

>> Jesus, I thought I said no surprises.

>> What a PR nightmare. I'm just flagging

it.

>> I'll get communications up to you

pronto.

>> No, too soon. Like if this isn't

contained, it'll be made to look even

worse than it is.

>> Don't send Wilmont.

>> Well, like it or not,

>> this was left at the front desk.

>> Wilmont is our senior media adviser.

What choice do I have?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Does it have to be Wilmont?

Get over it and buckle yourself in.

>> So, I just give her my station. She's

the head of media communications. She

likes things a certain way.

When she arrives, I want you to go

through all this with her.

>> Everything,

>> piece by piece.

>> So, I'm distracting her.

>> I like to think of it more as getting

her up to speed

>> while distracting her.

>> Yeah. Um, I'll leave you to it.

>> And where will you be?

I know. Don't worry. I know. Ouch.

Silly.

>> Thought you'd be over this place.

>> I wanted to say um thank you.

>> I had reason to believe it was a

momentary lapse of judgment. Don't let

me down.

>> Never again. I promise. You said to tell

you when I had the answer

>> about Dwayne. Could have killed his dad.

>> Oh no.

>> He gets mad sometimes. Really crazy mad.

>> You have to lay a complaint.

>> He needs help. I can't help him anymore.

You woke me up to that. That's why I

wanted to say thank you.

I still don't know the answer.

Breen.

Yeah. Get a car over to Okconor. Oh,

Dwayne done in for a breach of bail.

Mark, how are you, man?

I sold Nick the shotgun a month ago.

And

>> well, he never paid me. I asked him 20

times and nothing.

The night Nate died, I was at his house.

I went there to take it back, but I

couldn't find it.

And they came back earlier than I

thought, so I snuck out the back.

>> Jeez. Did you whack Dwayne the other

night?

>> Nah. No, I didn't.

>> But you were there. [clears throat]

>> I was at his house. Dwayne turns up piss

stumbling around, tries to whack me with

a steel bar, and runs into a door frame

in the process. Loser. So you're still

breathing. Needed to sleep it off. So,

you mentioned that Dwayne was in jail. I

thought now's the chance. I went back.

He'd hidden it up the chimney. A tricky

bugger.

>> You don't say.

>> So, you stole it?

>> I repossess for non-payment.

>> So, where is it now?

>> I killed him, Miss Graves.

>> I touched a spring and I think Jared.

>> Yeah. No, true. that. Eh,

it's the truth. Mike, Mr. Shepherd, I

didn't have anything to do with Nate's

death. I promise.

>> Why is the gun so important, Jared?

>> Okay.

I never come across this shotgun

strictly legally. If it was found and

traced back to me, Jared, um, I suggest

you hand it over to me. I'll take care

of it. Uh,

>> well, the thing is it's worth about 800

bucks. I'm leading a horse to water

here.

Can you take a drink?

>> All right. Yeah. No. Yeah. Good idea. E.

>> So, who took these? Clearly, the idea

was to draw attention to you as a

suspect. No idea.

Well, I do, actually.

Someone with a flash camera for a start.

And there's a really long lens, right?

Philip Henderson has one. Why would

Philip want to? Ah,

>> he's always been a bit dark on me, bro.

I'm competition for the ladies. And the

thing is I was with this chick Tanya

Freeman and the thing is he likes her

too but uh she kind of prefers her

coffee black if you know what I mean.

>> Tanya Freeman.

>> Yeah. You know

>> in my job you hear a lot of names.

>> Interesting chick. She's tatinoa but

she's got an Aussie accent yet she

reckons she's never lived there.

>> Bit of an enigma wrapped in a puzzle

then.

>> Yeah. Hot though.

>> Was Tanya Freeman with Philip the Night?

>> Yeah. Yeah, she was.

>> How did you feel about that then?

>> Easy come, easy go, bro. Besides, I

prefer more than one kid in my rock

pool, if you know what I mean. You're

not making this up,

>> dude.

Everything I told you is the truth. The

night Nate died, I was at home. I wasn't

getting any action, so I was in bed by

10:00. I remember cuz I was drifting off

to sleep and Gary drove past it about

10:30 and I was still awake. When he

came back about half an hour later, his

lights always flashed through my window.

Uh, you can check with him if you like.

>> I already did. Gary said he was home all

night.

>> Well, he was, except for that half hour.

>> I seen the car when I came back.

>> You said you weren't seeing anyone.

>> I'm not.

>> Philip Henderson.

>> It's just a casual thing. It's over.

So why'd you lie about him?

>> He asked me not to say anything

>> to me.

>> To anyone.

>> And why do you think that is?

>> So he's a player. Can't a girl have some

fun?

>> And Jared, who?

>> Jesus. Are you spying on me or what?

>> Philip Henderson is a suspect in a

murder case he's been shot at. Jared is

dealing in dodgy firearms. These guys

are the last thing you need in your life

right now.

>> I really miss Kelvin.

I know. And the guys that did that to

him are doing a very long stretch in

Brisbane. What you did was incredibly

brave, but witness protection is

>> a life sentence.

>> It's probably the only reason that

you're still alive. That your kids have

a mother.

You get caught up in this, you get

exposed. You have to move again. Uproot

the kids. You want that?

Right now, only four people in this town

know your true identity. You, your kids,

and me.

Let's keep it that way.

Know who you're getting into bed with.

Where the hell is Mark Shepard? Your

guess is as good as mine. I didn't come

here to play guessing games. Detective

Sims, sorry. Um, can I get you a copy

before we get started?

>> He told you to take me through all this,

did he?

>> Yeah, he thought it would be a good

idea.

>> He thought it would be a good idea to

distract me, Detective Sims, please. I

know Mike Shepard better than you.

I see the name Gary Mloud all over these

reports. Is this the serving Shepherd

mentioned?

>> Uh, as yet there's no definite proof.

>> Where can I find him? You were out for

half an hour on the night Nate Dunn died

dive not at home all night like you said

alone

you went straight with me Gary

if I want to go there and believe me I

don't you had motive opportunity

10 years worth of resentment they sent

you didn't they

>> who you said our body brought up a flag

on the computer

wasn't just the body was it was me.

What are you? Some kind of bloody

cleaner brought in to fix my mess?

>> You're sick? That explains a lot.

>> Not a lot left after a life in the

force.

Not even respect.

>> But why did you lie, Gary?

>> Because

I did it.

>> Did what?

>> It was me. I killed Nate.

Well done.

[cough]

You got me.

in here. [clears throat]

>> Mike, you finally learned to turn your

phone on, eh? Ah,

>> Gary, this is Meredith Wilmont, senior

media adviser. Meredith, this is DSS

Gary Mloud.

>> Hello, Gary.

>> You lot don't waste time, do you?

>> So, what's going on?

>> The senior here has just confessed to

murdering Nate Dunn.

>> It's simple. I killed Nate Dunn because

I knew he killed his wife all those

years ago.

Been eating me. Probably won't give me

the cancer.

>> That's why he killed him.

>> I'm dying.

It's a chance to write a wrong. I knew

Nate would be going to the bridge that

night. He always did. On the 17th,

I drove there. I parked off the road and

waited. When he arrived, I pushed him

off the bridge

>> after you clubbed him with the edge of a

tire.

That's right.

>> In the note.

>> Well, I wrote that and planted it on

them. I brushed away any telltale foot

marks on the bridge and left the scene.

In any case, I wore the same shoes the

next day when I examined the crime

scene. So, if any prints were found,

they wouldn't be suspected.

I'm sorry, Kristen. I'll let you down.

That woman's got a work cut out for her.

E.

You okay?

>> No.

>> In the 3 years I've been in Broken Wood,

Gary Mloud has taught me more about what

it is to be a cop than any.

It just seems impossible.

>> Full confession.

>> Damn.

>> Meredith, can you keep a lid on this for

now?

>> Why would I do that?

>> Cuz I asked you to.

>> You know we should front foot. That way

I can control it.

>> 24 hours.

>> If we delay, it looks like we're hiding.

>> 12.

>> You've got that look in your eye. You

have a hunch.

>> Maybe.

>> We also have a confession.

>> Jesus. Meredith, just give me a break.

>> You sweet talk like that.

Shouldn't be hard.

>> Does this place even have a local

newspaper? Uh,

>> yeah. The Broken Wood Courier staff of

one, I'm guessing. Yeah.

Well, that journalist is about to chase

some wild geese or a possible whale

stranding out west. Maybe

>> I owe you one.

>> Don't make promises you can't keep.

>> Infuriating though, isn't he?

>> He's not conventional.

>> I should know. I was married to him for

5 years.

>> Has he played you country music yet?

>> Oh,

well, I knew it. used [snorts] to drive

me nuts.

[music and singing]

>> Heartbeat [music] slow

is all [singing] shut down.

[music]

>> Where's Wilmont?

She's [music]

getting coffee.

>> Good. Remember the letter Dwayne said no

received?

>> The one when you were found?

>> Yeah. What if it was the CD?

>> It's possible.

>> Have they corrected the password?

>> Not yet, but I did just get these phone

records for Nate's mobile phone.

>> Did I ask for that?

>> No, I did. And it seems on the day he

died, Nate called every one of our

suspects. Short calls all under 30

seconds, one after the other, mid-after

afternoon. Just O' Connor, Philip

Henderson, Dwayne, Sally, and others,

too.

>> Just assume for a moment that Nate

didn't kill his wife.

>> I'll tell you why.

>> And that he found out who did, and then

he phoned everyone.

>> Going to blow the lid on

>> to tell him he knew

>> and everyone that's in this town.

>> Is Gary on this list?

>> No.

You're covering for someone. [snorts]

That's ridiculous. You were gone for

half an hour. That's barely time to go

to the river and back again. But you

actually waited until Nate got there.

Then you pushed him off the bridge and

fished around for him in freezing water

until you found him so you could plant a

note on him. A note that matched his

handwriting. Come on, Gary. Well, that

takes longer than half an hour.

>> Obviously, I was there for longer.

>> Witness says you were gone for half an

hour.

>> Who

[laughter]

>> did you know that Nate worked out who

killed Evelyn?

>> It's impossible.

>> I couldn't figure it out. How could that

drunk bastard?

>> He's persistent.

>> He was waiting till after November the

17th to tell the world. And I know you

didn't kill Nate with a time because he

died of wounds consistent with the

impact of a wide flat rock. If you'd

bothered to read the pathologist report,

you would have known that.

>> Somebody, I need some help here. I need

help here. Somebody just somebody. It's

okay. It's

not looking good.

They need to monitor him before making

any decisions about treatment.

Well,

>> what?

>> You know, you have this way of getting

people riled. Did you push him for more

information or what? What the hell are

you doing?

>> Well, I was trying to question him

again.

>> Yes. To get him to admit that his

confession was bogus. Gary's innocent,

but now with him in a coma, we need to

prove it.

>> Mike,

the IT guys have cracked the password.

The files have been emailed. Uh, it's a

single file PDF attachment.

Looks like some sort of farming magazine

scan copy. But don't tell me this is

just an addition miss.

>> Kristen, it's 10 years old.

>> So why?

>> Stop.

Farming conference.

Justinta mentioned she was a

>> there. That's her.

>> That's Mattella Gray. It's a falcon

>> and a high car. Look,

>> that numb plate.

>> It's one of the three that Nate narrowed

it down to.

>> My god,

>> that's the car that killed Evelyn

[music] Dunn.

>> Gary covered for her.

>> But why? At every opportunity, she'd

insult him.

>> Gary felt guilty. [music] He felt he

deserved her insults. He never caught

her sister's killer. Andy held a candle

for her.

Damn. I told him Justinta said she was

home all night the night Nate died. So

if Gary went to Justintas that night,

hub now's just long enough to get there

and back. So he gets there, she's not

home, he comes back,

>> then later he finds out that he's lied

to you.

>> And he thinks he knows why.

The tragedy is that Gary thought she

[music] cracked and killed Nate after 10

years of frustration.

>> Because of him. Because he couldn't

solve that hidden run.

>> Except that wasn't why she killed him.

She killed him to cover up her earlier

murder.

>> This is Sims. I need backup now.

[music]

>> Thanks.

>> She's gone to the airfield.

Damn.

>> Is that it?

>> Come on. Come on.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Cut her off.

Uh, you are aware that she's in the air?

>> Yeah, just a small one.

>> See, we've got four wheels, right? She's

got three. So,

>> you're

insane.

>> It's fine. It's fine. I've done this.

Well, I haven't, BUT LOOK OUT. Look out.

Lost her.

>> No, she has to take off into the wind.

Stop the police.

[music]

Get out.

>> [music]

>> When did you know

>> about Nate?

>> Yeah.

>> Only when I found out that you killed

Evelyn.

>> It was an accident.

an accident that it was Evelyn, you

mean?

>> Yeah. I came home early from that

conference. I was driving and I saw a

figure in a coat.

The man that I thought had ruined my

sister's life. So, I did what I've

wanted to do for years.

He called me.

>> I have proof, you [ __ ]

>> To tell me he was going to tell the

world the truth. [clears throat]

>> Well, I couldn't let that happen.

Even though I know now I was wrong.

I was so damn wrong.

>> Wrong about what?

>> Asked Wayne

Connor. I'm arresting you for the murder

done and Evelyn Dunn. You have the right

to [music] remain silent. It was a

little late for that.

She knew he'd be at the bridge that

night because she'd read Gary's farms.

>> So, she just pushed him off.

>> Easy. He was drunk. Clobbered him with a

rock and 10 years of fury

>> in the note. I'm sorry. It

>> was in Nate's handwriting. Maybe it was

something that he wrote to Evelyn

[music] every year and dropped it in the

water.

>> You make him sound like a romantic.

>> Oh, anyone who goes to the same [music]

spot every year to watch a media shower

is a romantic. Trust me. Why are we in

such a hurry?

>> I want to tell Gary he's been racked

with [music] guilt for 10 years.

>> He needs to know it's over.

[music]

>> Gary's been taken [music] into the city.

It's in a bad way.

>> We made an arrest. It wasn't Gary. So

the confession

>> he was covering the other professional

guild not association.

>> That was your hunch.

>> Just as well the local jouro is on a

whale hunt. This could have been very

embarrassing.

>> I'll make a trip into town then. Meet

Gary.

>> Yeah. You do that in his state. It might

all seem like a bad dream.

>> While I'm down there, I'll be handing in

my resignation.

>> What?

>> I'm quitting the big smoke. Don't want

to leave my run too late.

Run for what?

>> Good life. Country air. The vibe.

>> Are you mad? What are you going to do?

>> I'm guessing there will be a vacancy for

the head of the Broken Wood CIB.

>> You're totally overqualified.

>> I'll probably get it then.

>> But you'd have to drop rank. Um, why

would you do that?

>> Why wouldn't I?

>> Um, hello. Yeah, there it is. That's

fine.

How would you feel about that, Detective

Sims?

>> See you tomorrow.

>> I'm already here.

>> Over the lake, you see the wind

[singing and music] blow

through the trees [singing]

and through the snow.

love. She lived in a bottle.

Her lid. It was red and went bright like

a flame. [music]

Swallowed it down to the bottom. And I

felt her pouring all through me,

burning like fire in my veins.

>> [music]

>> Howdy neighbor. How's the vines? Good. I

think no help for me.

>> Oaks, blackberries,

grasses, hint of citrus, toasted

coconut. Yeah. Nah, should be a long

finish. You can tell all that from a

sniff.

>> Didn't know you were

>> wine snob. It's not a sniff. Better to

say the nose.

Learned from the best Ned James.

Grumpiest bastard you'll ever meet. But

also the best wine maker you'll ever

meet. I used to work for him. Hey Ned.

>> Jared.

>> Ned James. Detective Mike Shepard. You

just bought Gary Mloud's place,

Coppersville. Yeah. Nice to meet you,

Ned. Fancy yourself as a wine maker. Do

you?

>> I like a good milo.

>> Any idiot can grow Merlo.

>> Another city bloke growing grapes. Eh,

just what this town needs.

>> You're lucky we caught him on a good

day.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, your attention,

please. It is with pleasure that I

introduce to you Paul Winersonen, head

judge for this year's Brokewood Wine

Awards. Oh, thank you. [applause]

Thank you. Well, folks, another great

vintage, particularly the whites. Some

knockouts, some disappointments, but one

clear winner. The gold medal goes to

Bright Valley's Reserve Chardonnay.

>> Yes, you hinty.

>> You didn't say my name.

>> Things don't always go as you expect.

Mine was the best.

>> It always is the best. It's a

>> bloody joke. Brokenwood annual sham

show.

>> Woohoo.

>> What do you think? Good decision? Oh, I

thought white belly wines were kind of

average. Looking forward to trying it.

Maybe Amanda the James dominated for too

long.

>> Good excuse to keep sampling.

>> Well, my name it doesn't matter. My name

I couldn't tell.

The reason I'm [music] standing here is

to tell you how I fell.

They say a stroke can break the back of

a camel fully grown.

I use a straw to pick my teeth and I'm

back for a long.

Once I had a family, once I had a wife.

I went one day to walk away. Stranger

rided by [music]

standing with a long black stick coiled

around his hand.

The sky crashed down upon us and mud

rose from the sand.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> The deceased is a Paul Winerson.

a wine judge, ironically.

>> Oh, him.

>> You know him?

>> Saw him at the awards yesterday.

Made some people very happy.

No doubt. Shared some dreams, too.

Hey, Paul.

Looking a little on the pink side.

Bars by all the fuss, huh?

He was found dead in this big wine vat

thing here. It's called a uh an open

fermenttor. Holds 2,000 L of raw wine.

Party in a tub. How did he get here? Car

outside is rented under his name. He was

found at 6:30 a.m. by the winery manager

when he opened up. This is Chris

Chambers. He found the body and called

it in. I've taken a statement. Mr.

Chambers, it's detectives [music] Mike

Sheper and Kristen Sims. Chris, hell of

a waste of the day.

>> Yeah.

>> The place was locked up as per usual.

>> Yep.

>> Any other way you could have got in

other than through the side door?

>> No. Security's pretty tight.

>> His face is

>> distressing. We know. We'll have someone

talk to you about that.

>> You're the wine maker, Chris.

>> Operations manager.

>> Amanda James is the wine maker.

>> Amanda,

>> this is Detective Mike Shepard and

Kristen.

>> Sims.

>> Thanks, Chris.

>> Such a waste.

>> Ah, death is like that, I'm afraid.

>> Oh, yes. No, I meant the wine. It would

all have to go.

>> Well, yes.

Yes, it would. But you never know.

Merllo, is it

>> pin noir?

>> Pinu noir with a hint of dead wine.

Judge could make for an interesting

vintage.

>> Too soon.

>> That was a joke, wasn't it?

>> Uh, poor taste one.

>> Oh, no. I get it. That's funny.

>> Amanda, last night you were

>> here with Paul.

So, uh, Paul Winersonen was here with

you last night. Why was that? I invited

him here. Because I didn't win. Not even

a bronze. What the hell?

>> Amanda, better luck next year.

>> Well,

>> let's just [music] say you your wine

wasn't up to its usual standard. But

>> it was. It always is.

wasn't. You had a bad year. Accept it.

Let it go. Eh,

>> let it go. What does that even mean?

>> To let go. To move on.

>> Oh, well, I did. I went to Paul's motel.

You got it wrong.

>> Amanda, please.

>> What's going on?

>> Your wine was spoiled.

Aaron, tell her

>> it's true, Amanda. It was blatantly off,

salty, putrid.

>> I didn't want to say it in front of

everyone else.

>> Putrid? Impossible. You know, my

facilities are state-of-the-art. I want

you to come now, and I want you to see

for yourself.

>> So, they came for an inspection.

>> What time was this? 8:42 p.m.

The pneumatic membrane presses, 50,000 L

automatic fermenters with temperature

control as well as the open fermenters

for the reds.

This is the same vintage as I entered

into competition. Pick a bottle, anyone

you like.

The Chardonnay are of course all close

fermenting. It's all tested. Nothing

goes into the bottle that isn't perfect.

>> Wow.

Okay. This is very good.

>> It is.

So you admit you made a mistake,

>> Amanda. The only mistake was that you

got unlucky. You delivered a bad bottle.

End of story.

>> So they tasted the wine and then

>> they left

>> in their car.

>> Yes.

>> Which is parked outside.

>> Yes.

>> Which would suggest that they came back?

>> Did they?

>> I don't know.

>> What did you do after they left?

>> I went to bed alone. I couldn't sleep

because Paul said that my wine was

putrid, salty, and I I couldn't think of

how that could have happened. And I

won't sleep again tonight till I figure

it out. Coupled with the fact that

someone just died in your winery.

>> Yes. It's a shame, isn't it?

>> There's something you should see.

>> This records the security footage.

Not very well, obviously.

>> Oh, I take it you didn't know. Uh,

Amanda, no, please don't touch it. Um, I

can fix it. I have a soldering iron.

Don't you don't need to.

>> I'll take it. Thanks.

>> Oh, but it's broken.

>> I'm sure it'll still be of some use as

it is to us at least.

>> Spicy nuts. Boenbury, grapefruit,

and a hint of carpet.

>> She doesn't seem very cut up about

someone dying on her premises.

>> Shock will do that to you.

>> I've seen plenty of shock. That's not

shock. That's a complete lack of

empathy. Like, she doesn't understand

what just happened.

>> That doesn't mean she did it.

>> Take the concept of sore loser to a

whole new level.

Speaking of which, you get on to a list

of all the other losers. Take a look at

the town hall. See if I can get on to

any more of that putrid wine.

>> You just want to try the winning stuff.

>> Well, nothing wrong with knowing what

all the fuss is about.

>> Ah,

>> what?

>> The remainder wines go on sale for

charity today. It's a bit of a highlight

on the Broken Wood calendar.

>> Right then, time to be a killjoy.

>> [music]

[music]

>> We're not open yet. [music]

>> Oh,

>> thanks for charity.

>> But I need it.

>> The rules are the rules.

>> Hi, Detective Mike Shepard.

>> Oh, hello. The only person taking

anything anywhere is me. This is all

potentially part of a criminal

investigation. This is about Paul, isn't

it?

>> Yeah. Terrible.

>> And I can't guarantee it will all be

returned intact.

>> Of course. Whatever you need.

>> Well, I need a bottle.

>> All in good time.

>> How long will that be?

>> It's hard to say.

>> When do you think you'll find out who

did it?

>> Mr. Winerson's death is at an early

stage of investigation.

>> Not who killed Paul. Who tampered with

my wine?

[music]

>> [music]

>> Come on.

[music]

Heat.

>> [music]

>> going somewhere.

>> Detective Shepherd. Um just a couple of

questions if that's okay.

>> Of course. The um constable said you

sorry.

>> I'll get you a cup of tea, shall I?

>> Um milk.

>> Good choice. Always find these things a

little tricky.

>> So

>> did you judge with Paul often?

Yes. Uh, there were several shows a

year. We seem to get invited back.

>> Now, it's my understanding you went to

Amanda James' one last night for a

retaste.

>> It's not like we had any choice, Amanda.

It's getting late. It's been a long day.

You must come. You must come now. Okay.

>> Now.

>> All right.

All right. But things went well.

>> Why would you think that? Well, Amanda

James seemed to think you're all in

agreement that a one was very good, that

it was just a case of bad luck.

>> But Amanda wouldn't accept it.

>> So, you admit you made a mistake.

>> Amanda, the only mistake was that you

got unlucky. You delivered a bad bottle

to story.

>> Yeah. Unlucky that you were the judge.

>> Oh, Christ. Amanda, you've won 5 years

straight. A little humility wouldn't go

astray.

>> Jesus, what are you doing?

>> That's all they're worth now. Thanks for

nothing, Paul.

>> So, you could say Amanda was feisty,

>> temperamental, obsessive, weird. They

all work, too.

>> So, then did you

>> what?

>> Leave.

>> We'd said good night. I heard him talk

on the phone, but I couldn't hear what

he was saying.

Later, I heard the phone ring. It woke

me up. the door open and close.

Heard him drive away.

>> The motel phone or his cell phone, do

you think?

>> The landline. His cell phone has some

stupid ring on it. I'm always telling

him to change it.

>> Um, I should head back to the city now.

>> Uh, do you have work to get back to? Um,

no. But

>> lucky you. Oh, then you won't mind

staying on a bit.

>> I have to move my tails. I'm finding

this very difficult.

>> Of course. Um, we'll get someone to help

with that.

>> Can you think of any reason why Paul may

have wanted to go back to Amanda's

winery?

>> No.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Let's talk about the art of losing.

Chris Chambers, you reckon?

>> Amanda's manager. [music]

Bound to feel agrieved on some level.

>> Found the body. Dominic Mack.

>> Premium loser. Local wine maker. [music]

Has been on Struggle Street for a long

time. I like his wine though. It's

always on special with the local.

>> Just saying.

>> You like it because it's good or because

it's cheap.

>> Fair point.

>> N James isn't up here.

>> Amanda's father. He wasn't a competitor,

was he?

>> Was at the awards making his discontent

known.

>> Okay.

>> Anything more on Winerson? Lives in

Queenstown. Respected wine critic for

more than 20 years. Two kids. Happily

married. How do you know that?

>> That he's married happily. Well, he's

not divorced.

Okay, he's married. But anything else?

>> Uh, motel phone records.

>> Paul phoned Julian right at 10:05 p.m.

At 10:17 p.m., someone phoned Paul. The

records don't show an incoming number.

And again, a couple of hours later,

She's a SC

of the hurricane coming alive.

Brother, you are

Detective Merlo, you're here to arrest

me?

>> Should I be?

>> Why else would a detective crawl up my

driveway?

>> Something I need to know, Ned.

>> About wine, making plenty, I'm sure.

>> What about Paul Wisonerson's death?

>> Can't help you there. Why are you here?

>> Was going to see Julian Bright. Didn't

realize you live so close.

>> You all live where the soil is, right?

wouldn't choose to be his neighbor.

>> You don't get on.

>> He's a plonker.

>> Dominic Nickel.

>> Failure.

>> Amanda James.

>> You leave my daughter out of it.

>> Paul was found dead in one of her vans.

>> He was a lush. Probably slipped while

dipping his snout for a guzzle like a

pig in a trough.

>> Where were you last night, Ned?

>> I was here and I live alone. What are

you going to do about it?

I'll see you around, Ned.

>> What is it with you cops in Merlo?

>> Your predecessor, Gary Mloud, he planted

Merlo in Spud Country.

>> Spud Country being wrong soil. Put it

this way. What do potatoes and Merlo

grapes have in common?

Nothing.

I told you once, now I'll tell you

twice. Playing with a cat ain't no

business for miles. Little boy,

[singing and music] you should take my

Hello.

Anyone around?

>> Yeah, good day.

>> Good day.

>> Mike Shepard broken with COB.

>> Ah, Rob. Sorry.

>> Uh, Rob Vizmate. Apologies. I'm feeling

>> went on. Did you?

>> Yeah, I did.

>> Well, you're a winning ventner.

Congrats.

>> Thanks.

>> Big night, I bet.

>> Yeah. And then I wake with a head like a

bomb site and I hear about Paul

Winerson.

How's Bells?

>> So, how well do you know Paul?

>> Oh, only through the awards really.

He's a good guy. Love my wine. Finally.

And now.

>> What did you do to your hand?

>> Uh, cut it. Broken bottle. Milk.

>> No, black's good. So, it was a big

night.

>> No, I cut it this morning.

It's off my game. Broken glass.

>> Occupational hazard, I guess.

>> Yeah, you could say that.

>> Actually, I was hoping to speak to

Julian Bright. See you around.

>> In a manner of speaking.

>> And thanks for all your calls, emails,

and texts. And as we sign off, remember,

Bright Valley Wines Gold Medal. That's

right. Can I say that again? I think I

can. Gold Medal Chardonnay is in a store

near you. Look for the new gold sticker.

Try it. I promise it's good. Gold medal.

Good l yours. I'm Julian Bry. Talk to

you tomorrow.

>> Julian's uh weekend wine grower. Heads

to Broken Wood after a shift every

Friday at noon. Back Sunday to be fresh

for a show Monday morning.

He bought Gary Mloud's placefield

>> for my sins. Yes, I did.

>> 10 acres of Merlo. How's that going?

>> Ned James thinks I've got the wrong

grapes for the soil.

>> Ned James as it has been. Take no

notice. Although, yeah, if the Melo

doesn't work out, then uh Potatoes could

be a guy.

>> So, last night you were with

>> uh I had a celebratory glass with

Julian. Well, two actually, and then he

took off

>> approximately

>> 8. He always heads back at 8 for the

show.

Um, and then I partied with some of the

locals and couple of our workers.

>> Do you think there were any hard

feelings over the decision?

>> More than usual. I mean, no one likes to

lose, right? But it's only wine.

Dom looked a bit down on it.

>> Yeah, Dom's been up against it for

years.

>> Sorry, mate.

>> It was good, but uh, better luck next

year, eh?

>> I've heard that platitude five years in

a row, Paul.

No one be next to you.

>> Thanks. Hope everything gets better.

>> Yeah.

>> Hey, what do you think swayed the judges

this year?

>> Hard to say. I didn't change a lot. Our

shard is bold. It's forthright. It's

designed to cut through.

Oh, we changed the color of the steel.

>> Stelvin

>> screw caps. Went for a bright red. Maybe

that was it.

>> But the the judges don't get to see the

bottles, do they? It's a blind tasting.

Otherwise, there'd be a risk of

favoritism, right?

>> True. It's a good point. So, must have

just been a great Chardonnay.

>> Sure. It was

>> red wine in its rose form drained from

his lungs.

Cause of that? Drowning

>> and pino noir.

I guess if you're a wine critic, there

are worse ways to go.

What about the gash to his head?

>> Small lacerations containing fragments

of broken glass. The deceased was struck

with a bottle.

>> Unlikely to have killed him.

>> Stunt maybe knock him out.

>> So he was alive when he was submerged.

>> Probably his reflexes will have made him

try to breathe. All he got was lumps of

wine.

>> Can you give a time of death yet?

>> Between 1000 p.m. and 2 a.m. Can't be

more specific.

>> Mike Shepard. Mike, Paul Winerson's

phone records show a call to his cell

phone that he answered was made from the

Amanda James Winery at 1:58 a.m.

>> Got it. T

here's a question. How does a man answer

his phone while he's being drowned?

>> I didn't phone Paul at 1:58 a.m. Yet you

said yourself, I couldn't sleep. I was

wrecking my brains. I didn't phone Paul.

>> Well, who has access to this phone?

>> Chris does.

>> Well, Chris says he was at home with his

wife and kids. Do you know that the Wine

Award Society don't even think that

tampering could have occurred? They

believe their systems are foolproof. Can

you believe that, Mr. Detective?

>> Miss James, a homicide has occurred on

your premises. The security cameras were

disabled. There's no sign of a forced

entry.

>> Yes.

>> Is there something you're not telling

us?

Have you spoken to Dominic Nickel?

>> We are aware of Mr. Nickel. Why should

we talk to him? He doesn't like me.

[music]

That's him.

Dominic Neco.

>> Mr. Nickel, I need you [music] to stop

running with the police.

>> I'm not falling for that one. Mr. Nichl,

I'm Detective Senior Sergeant Shepher.

And that is Detective Sims.

>> Paid like a true halfpack there, Sims.

You really are cops.

That's a relief. Thought you were

someone else.

>> And who would that be?

>> Oh, had a couple of high interest loans

come due. They're pretty keen on

repayments.

>> Which you don't have.

>> I thought you were those guys. Suit and

all.

>> Well, you can relax. We're just with the

criminal investigation branch.

>> Last night I went home and drown my

sorrows with my wife.

Another lost opportunity to save this

place in the receivers.

>> Tough times.

Wine making has been my family for

generations. I get to be the chump that

breaks tradition.

>> What did you think of the decision about

Bright Valley getting gold?

>> I'm happy for Rob Viznney.

>> You rate him?

>> Yeah. One of the best venters around.

Well, it'll be Julian Bright that basks

in all the glory, takes the cudos,

right?

>> Privilege of being the owner, isn't it?

>> Yeah, but he knows stuff all about wine

making. I mean, he might know how to

operate a screw cap machine at best.

That's the way it seems to be these

days. Wine making's become a hobby of

the rich and famous.

>> What do you think of Amanda James?

>> Damn good wine maker. Best in the

region, hands down.

>> She still didn't win.

>> Won't kill her, will it? You don't have

any personal issues,

>> Amanda?

>> No, she thinks you don't like her.

>> No denying she's a bit strange.

No, actually, I quite like her.

There was a altercation not so long ago,

but now it's just business.

>> What uh sort of altercation?

>> When I realized my label wasn't cutting

through anymore, I approached her to see

if she'd buy my grapes for her vintage.

And her response,

>> she called my grapes hemorrhoids on a

vine,

>> no deal, I take it.

>> I was pissed off, sure. But hey, it's

not her fault my business is tanking.

>> Hemorrhoids on a vine. Think I actually

spewed in my mouth little bit. And do I

ever want [music] to eat grapes again?

No. And what is that woman's problem?

And don't say shock. Shock doesn't cut

it. Rude, dangerous, psycho,

>> or it's that she's a woman.

>> Excuse me.

>> Oh, it's a male-dominated industry. I'm

sure she's had to step on a few hairy

toes to get to the top.

>> Does that extend [music] to killing a

wine critic?

>> I'll pick you up in the morning. We need

to be in the city by noon. [music]

If we left a little bit earlier, I could

get some shoe shopping in.

Being a woman and all.

>> That was a joke.

>> Really? Cuz four marriages has taught me

never to joke about shoe shopping.

>> Four. I thought it was three.

[music]

[music] You're going to need pruning.

And as it happens, I haven't got much

on.

>> Just a bit of this and that.

>> That'd be great.

>> What is it about these things that would

make someone want to kill someone else

over them?

>> Well, money. It's always about money,

isn't it?

>> Greed or lust. I reckon lust has got a

lot to do with it. And jealousy.

Money. greed,

lust, and jealousy.

Right, that's narrowed it down a bit.

[music]

>> Smile. You're on candid camera. [music]

>> Candid camera.

>> You know that TV show in the 70s where

>> I was born in 1989. [music]

I'm coming home,

>> right?

[music]

>> And there's still time to take a few

more calls before we go. I'm still

interested to hear what you think about

this gang problem. I mean, are we simply

being too easy on these low lives, these

scumbags that prey on society? Call us

now, 0800 talk radio.

And we sign off on a sad note today. For

as we've heard through the wires, I um

we have suffered the loss of a friend,

Paul Winderson, wine critic, judge, and

industry.

>> He's just winding up. He'll be out in a

moment.

>> Dead through some tragic turn of events.

>> That wine award. I've never seen him so

happy.

>> The wine industry, a great friend

yesterday.

>> He's absolutely gutted.

>> My heart goes out to his family. The

family of a man who made me a winner on

Sunday and all of us losers today.

For the world has lost a great man with

the passing of Paul Winerson.

Humbly yours. I'm Julian Bright. Khaki

Day. Talk to you tomorrow.

>> Mark Shepard. Oh, and Detective Sums.

Pleased to meet you. Come on through.

>> Thank you.

>> Nice wrap up.

>> Love your work. Well, I still can't

believe it.

I mean, Paul was a great guy. Smart.

Just so damn decent, you know.

>> And he made you a winner.

>> Yes. [snorts] No complaints there.

But, uh, hell, I'd happily trade that to

have a glass of wine with a guy.

>> Is it standard practice to be social

with judges? Oh, it's a small industry,

Mike. You can't pretend not to know

everybody. And because of this, you

know, everybody knows me. So,

inevitably, it's social.

>> As long as it's after the judging.

>> What are you implying that there's room

for collusion?

>> Amanda James thinks so.

>> Really?

Wow. She would, wouldn't she? I mean,

she lost.

>> Can you tell us your movements on the

night Paul died?

>> Oh, sure. Easy. Um,

after the announcement, I had a

celebrity glass with my ventner, Rob

Biznik. Couldn't really party.

Well, okay. We had three, but no way was

I over the limit. I left Broken Wood

about 8:00 p.m.

Uh, always do on a Sunday. You know,

it's got to be fresh for the show Monday

morning. When was the last time you

spoke with Paul? Well, he called me

actually.

Yeah, I was on my way home into the city

and he phoned to uh congratulate me

again.

He didn't have to do that. was was nice

of him. And that's just the kind of guy

he was, you know. Sorry.

Let me know if there's anything I can do

to help. I mean, I can reach a lot of

people if you want to call out for

witnesses or anything.

>> It could come in handy. Here we go.

>> Hell, I thought the police had gone a

bit more high-tech. [laughter]

>> I like the way it rides.

>> It even has a cassette player.

>> Really? Maybe I should put one in my

ride. Wow. How long does it take you to

get to Broken Wood and that?

>> Oh, legally 2 and 1 half hours door to

door. You

>> these days the the Holden Kingswood,

it's more about the the journey.

>> Not necessarily about getting to the

destination.

>> Oh, we got here. All right.

>> But will we get home?

>> You reckon I should take Julian's for a

spin? Maybe get a taste for something

newer.

>> No, no one drives this puppy except me.

I worked hard to get to the top and

she's my guilty pleasure.

>> Happy to take you for a spin.

>> Another time.

>> I'll be in Brokenwood all weekend. Sing

out if you want anything.

Mike Shepard.

Yes.

Yes.

It's okay. Take your time.

I can be with you in

3 hours from now.

Okay.

Erin Formbby. Apparently, she's got a

confession to make.

[music]

>> Sure. Then why not?

>> Hello, detective.

>> Thanks for meeting me.

>> You find another motel. Okay.

>> Yes. Yes. One of your stuff.

>> Good. But you prefer to talk here.

>> Well, it's just

>> Shall I make this easier?

>> What?

>> You loved Paul.

I mean, you really love.

>> Is that what you wanted to tell me?

>> How did you?

>> Separate motel rooms. Um, keeping up

appearances for his marriage, but not

too separate.

Adjacent with connecting doors. That's

why you were so keen to leave. You knew

Paul's wife would be flying in from

Queenstown.

>> I'm better off away from all of that.

>> Paul's wife has already arrived.

>> Oh,

>> I'm on my way to meet her now.

>> Do you

Are you obliged to

>> No, I'm not.

>> What did you really want to tell me,

Erin?

>> We argued. So when you said we said good

night, what you meant was we had a row.

He stormed off. That was the last time I

ever saw him.

>> What did you fight about?

>> I wanted more than being some

convenience. He went away to with

>> You wanted him to leave his wife.

>> He talked about it.

>> What did he say?

>> Nothing.

That was the frustrating thing. He was

so

distracted.

>> Why?

>> I don't know. It was infuriating. He

said he was too tired to talk. They

would talk about it in the morning,

which was never going to happen.

He went next door.

>> Did you often sleep alone when you were

on tour?

>> Never.

We found this uh beside his bed.

>> Do those numbers mean anything to you?

>> No.

[singing]

>> Slow day at the office.

>> Research

an article on Amanda James.

She seems so uptight yet she'll get her

kid off to promote her brand.

>> She's a contradiction.

>> It was Erin Formbby and Paul Winson

naked in a bathtub of Pino Noir. Make

more sense.

>> Oh, why? Oh, that was her confession.

>> But I felt she was after a relationship

counselor more than a detective.

>> Oh, well, with your track record, I'm

sure you gave her sound advice. Anything

else?

>> They had a fight.

>> Oh, a tiff. That's what lovers do. And

he was distracted

>> by what?

>> She didn't know.

>> Probably by the fight. Men do that to

avoid conflict. They affect a sense of

distraction. To avoid the issue.

Manchild 101.

>> Mike.

>> Well, sorry. I was um

>> So, Mrs. Winson,

>> uh, she's in victim support. I'll bring

her through to your office. Oh, you're

not going to

>> tell her about Aaron? No.

>> Perhaps I should lead the questions on

this.

>> Good idea. I'm so distracted. Who knows

what I might say?

>> I was at the hospital with my daughter.

She had an asthma attack and needed the

nebulizer.

For some reason, it often happened while

bloody poor was away. [snorts] Movies

law, isn't it? Your husband traveled a

lot. He was a popular judge. Very

popular. very amiable about the big and

small events, even school fundraisers

for God's sake. [gasps]

He loved to be um fated as a man of

great authority. So, he was happy to

travel all over the country. Did he ever

mention a falling out with anyone?

Perhaps disgruntled contestants or

>> No. No sense that he was trying to avoid

anyone?

>> No.

>> No suspicious correspondence?

Do you mean did I check his emails?

>> We're looking for anything that might

suggest some motive for wanting Paul to

die.

>> Megan,

>> does this mean anything to you?

>> It's Paul. I recognize the handwriting,

>> the numbers.

>> Probably [snorts] dreaming up some grand

scheme.

>> He was an ambitious man.

>> Yes.

But

[snorts]

>> he could never find the right

opportunity to expand on his successes.

>> Did Paul have life insurance?

>> What?

No. No, he didn't. Just a large wine

collection, which I guess I'll have to

try and sell now.

>> Take a minute, Megan. We'll just go and

get you some more water.

>> Okay.

Thanks.

How many detectives does it take to

change a light bulb?

>> What? I haven't heard that one.

>> Just one. But it obviously takes two to

fill a glass of water.

>> You're overriding my line of

questioning.

>> She wants you to be more direct.

>> Oh, you don't know that.

>> Call it man's intuition.

>> Please. She's just lost her husband.

>> She wants answers. Well,

>> I can't just go bulldozing through her

personal life.

>> Thank you.

Megan, of course I checked his emails.

>> Sorry.

>> What you said before, you're implying

that Paul had affairs. Is that it?

>> Well, um, of course he did. I'm not

stupid.

>> Oh, no. I never meant.

>> We have an understanding.

I accepted that it happened, but I

didn't want to know about the sorted

details. But of course, I knew. I mean,

you would actually want to know,

wouldn't you, Miss Sims?

Well, I hope to never be in be in that

situation. No. Don't we all?

I knew about them.

All of them. Silly little Erin. Always

tagging along. And the others,

that crazy Amanda for one.

Amanda James.

job driving you to drink, senior. Going

on a date,

Amanda.

Amanda. Hello.

>> Oh, yes. Hello.

>> I've uh bought you a bottle from the

judging case. As far as evidence goes, I

[music] figured one wouldn't hurt.

>> Oh, good. Goody. Good.

>> Actually, I have a few questions.

>> Oh. Uh later, please. I have to break

down the molecular structure [music] to

find out what went wrong.

>> You sound like a scientist.

>> Well, I am.

>> I thought wine-making was more an art

form.

>> Sound like my father.

Wine-making, Mr. Detective Shepherd, is

all about process. How well you control

and manipulate that process determines

how well it drinks. Really, the only

answer on the label.

Would you like to sample this? Help me

analyze what went wrong.

>> Sure. I'm no scientist, but I know what

I like.

>> Firstly,

great wine should look as good as it

tastes.

>> It sounds more arty than scientific.

>> Where possible, I put all my wines in

clear glass so that the drinker can

appreciate the color and the clarity.

>> Shouldn't reds be in darker glass?

Doesn't sunlight break down?

>> There's no scientific basis for that.

The viscosity is important. How well

does it cling to the glass

and the nose from the aroma? We can

tell.

Oh dear. That's

Oh god.

Whoa. Yeah, I'd have to say it's pretty

rank.

>> How could it be that bad?

>> I'll let you solve that. In the

meantime, Paul Winson

>> is dead.

>> Yes, I know. But you and Paul, there was

more to your relationship than wine

judging. Am I correct?

>> I don't know what you mean.

>> You and Paul were lovers.

Oh dear. That's just I mean, what has

that got to do with the wine?

>> When did your relationship with Paul

end?

>> It wasn't a relationship,

>> but you did.

>> I don't like sex.

>> But you were lovers at some point.

>> Oh. Um, well,

>> it's not a trick question, Amanda. Yes

or no?

>> Why?

>> It's background.

>> I don't want to have sex with you.

>> Me?

>> Is that what you're asking me?

>> No, definitely not. That was not on my

list of questions.

>> Sex is not helpful,

>> right? Uh

>> makes everything unclear. Cloudy

makes for cloudy wine and we don't like

cloudy wine.

>> A lot of people don't get Amanda. She's

different.

>> Different or difficult?

>> Yeah, that too. But you get that with

genius, don't you?

>> You'd call her a genius. How else do you

win medal after medal at anything

asperes?

>> Asperger syndrome. Yeah,

>> I reckon it's the X factor in why she's

so good at making wine.

Her mother explained it to me before she

passed away. I just started working

here. I was finding a man very

challenging. She's so good at making

wine, but the rest of her life is

chaotic.

Think of this place as a restaurant.

She's a temperamental chef.

>> I'm the matrae keeping the punters

happy.

>> Behind every great woman there's a man

picking up the pieces.

>> Yeah, literally in my case,

>> a witness told me she was pretty fed up

here. The no Paul was killed.

>> Yeah, Amanda had lined up a big contract

that was foolishly based on her winning

that gold. The whole deal was off once

there was no fancy sticker to put on the

bottle.

>> Why would she jump the gun like that?

>> Look, Amanda thinks differently. She

thinks clinically she decided that she

would win again because she just knew

that her wine was brilliant.

>> But it wasn't.

>> Yeah. Well, that's the funny thing.

>> Trust me, wasn't worth a sip, let alone

a medal.

>> I I can't explain it.

>> As I recall, you were at home that night

with your wife.

>> Yeah. Hiding, don't admit

>> from Look, Amanda can get pretty

determined. She just doesn't appreciate

that at 1:30 in the morning, most people

are asleep.

>> She was calling you at 1:30.

>> Endlessly.

>> Do you remember if it was from her

mobile or a landline?

>> Uh,

mobile.

>> Yeah, the mobile ID thing kept flashing

up. I [clears throat] didn't answer it.

Even Matra need a night off.

>> [music]

>> Kristen. Oh, hold on. I'll just turn

that down.

>> So, are Amanda and Paul having an

affair?

>> Hard to say. She doesn't like sex.

>> How do you know that?

>> Oh, she told me.

>> Do women often tell you that?

>> Hey, and uh find out what you can about

espress [music]

syndrome. Why?

>> Because because I was wrong about shock.

Hey, uh got to go.

I told you to leave my daughter alone.

You hear me? I damn well kill you.

Asperes bugger that. That's just Dr.

Mumbo jumbo.

>> Chris Chambers seems to think it's the

case.

>> What's he know?

>> What Amanda's mother told him.

>> You want to have a go at her now? My

wife's dead.

>> I don't want to have a go at anyone. I'm

trying to figure out who murdered Paul

Winerson. With you charging around

threatening to kill people, you're

asking for a spot on my suspects list.

>> You think Amanda did it? She's good at

science, not disabled. Just because

she's socially a bit awkward doesn't

mean she's going around knocking off the

likes of Winteren. Not that I would have

blamed her if she did.

If you want to find out who killed Paul,

follow me.

>> [snorts]

>> No label. I know what's in it. Those I

give it to know what's in it. Liquid

heaven. Don't need a label. And a core.

Screw caps are convenient. Corks are

part of the artistic process.

I taught Amanda to make wine. [music]

Excellent wine. She took that gift and

applied science to it like every other

bastard in the modern business. Now she

makes immaculate wine. Award-winning

neat and tidy supermarket swell.

It's wine with no feeling.

>> So you're competitors now.

>> I'm out of the game. Can't stand the

industry. Only make wine for myself.

I've got nothing to prove.

>> But you were at the awards.

>> Yeah. I just go to remind myself what I

hate about that scene. Hate's a strong

word.

Alatian

alra.

>> Whoa.

Okay.

>> That, my friend, is a Chardonnay.

>> Well, that's Can you feel it?

>> Certainly feel something. Then

>> that's art, not science.

>> So Amanda should have won.

>> Of course. She still makes better wine

than all the wannabes in this district

by a country mile.

>> So you hate the industry. You didn't

like Paul Winson and you thought the

decision was a sham. Am I at the top of

your list?

>> Convince me otherwise.

>> Winerson took advantage of my daughter

once. Confused the hell out of her. Was

a shameless thing to do. That was

Winersonen. Shameless bugger scruples.

Always wanting a slice of action.

Meaning

>> he's a failed wine maker. What do they

say? If you can't do it, teach. Couldn't

make wine to save himself. So he became

a judge.

>> So

you didn't kill him?

>> Guy was an idiot. Can't say I'm sorry.

He's dead.

>> I'll take that as a no.

>> Take it anyway you like.

>> Who did kill Paul?

>> Isn't that for you to figure out?

>> You said I'd find out. I said, "If you

want to find out, find out who killed

the wine judge, you need to understand

wine.

Consider yourself educated.

The rest is up to you."

>> Thanks.

That is truly remarkable,

but she

welcome to Brokenwood.

>> [music]

>> Good day. This is a bit cheeky. Perhaps

not even uh police business. More a

challenge from Ned James.

>> Ned. Yeah. So, I was passing. I was

wondering whether I could grab a bottle

of that award-winning vintage of yours.

>> Don't you have the rest of the judging

remainder, cut?

>> Yeah, I shouldn't really drink the

evidence. Not a good look.

>> Evidence of what?

>> Well, fact that I've got a lot to learn

about the art of wine making.

>> Uh, same vintage. It's on the house.

>> Ah, please. So, can't be seen to take

gifts or bribes. It's

>> not a good look.

>> How's the hand?

>> Good.

>> James hated Winterson, you know.

>> Oh, I know. Thanks.

Oh, I uh put that dispersious research

on your desk.

>> Her father would say that's Dr. Mumbo

Jumbo. That Amanda's only problem is her

reliance on science messes with the mojo

of her wine. He reckons. Mike, she has

motive. She lost and she's a jilted

lover.

>> She doesn't like sex. But maybe she's

pleased that he didn't want to take it

further.

>> Opportunity. She rang Paul from the

winery at 1:58 a.m.

>> Someone did.

>> Well, Chris was at home. No one else had

access. Paul was found dead on her

premises. What more do you need, Mike?

>> I need a wine. You? It's uh it's

award-winning.

>> Am I on or off duty?

>> Both. For when are we not?

Cheers.

>> And a [music] gooseberries.

Grapefruit dried figs.

Lap sang sushong.

>> You have no idea, do you?

>> Busted really set the world on fire.

>> Ned James didn't do it.

>> And you know this because

>> I asked him,

>> "Oh, so that's our new technique, is it?

We ask a suspect, they say no." We say,

"Oh, jolly good." And cross them off a

list.

>> We didn't flatly deny it. I mean, all

the guilty ones do that.

What if the sex wasn't consensual?

Well,

>> there's no rape complaint laid. Well,

>> Amanda was agrieved from losing,

humiliated. So, what if in her mind Paul

raped her? What if in her rage, as

documented by the Burgess research,

>> which I haven't read yet,

>> something snapped and she went for

revenge?

On a simplistic level, why would Amanda

kill someone and in the process trash

her most precious thing, the thing that

is her world, her next vintage? It It

doesn't make sense.

>> Okay. Well, let's move on to Dominic.

Oh god, such an idiot.

>> It's okay. There's um plenty more where

that came from.

Such a klutz.

>> One of the 10 remaining bottles from a

judging case.

>> Are you sure that's okay?

>> Chairman of the one award said, "Take

what you need.

That's uh

>> Sorry about that. I was rubbish at Nebor

as you can probably gather.

>> Stop. Don't drink that.

>> What?

>> Put the mug down.

>> Um why am I here? We need your

expertise. You know I can be an expert

in most places. Does it have to be here?

Well, the thing we need you to expert on

can't be moved. This place feel like

I've done something wrong even if I

haven't.

>> Jared,

>> Detective Sims,

>> we're drinking wine. I think you can

call me Kristen.

>> Kristen,

>> you said you wanted to try it. Now's

your chance. Two glasses poured from two

separate bottles, which by label and Rob

Viznik's own admission come from exactly

the same vintage. This year's Bright

Valley Reserve Chardonnay. Try them.

[clears throat]

>> They're not even remotely similar.

>> One's from the judging case, the other

from Stock at the Winery.

>> Both supposedly the gold medal wine, but

they're

>> radically different. Any ideas?

>> Blending for judges?

>> What's that? Well, take in your base

wine and

turbocharging if you like. Round it up

for the judges so it cuts through. It's

the kind of thing that James used to

rant on about bloody cheats. He would

say the wine should be the wine.

>> So, it happens.

>> Well, it's dodgy, but yeah, it happens.

Happy customer back for more.

Is it uh possible you blended for the

judges?

>> Well, that's a hell of an accusation.

>> That's not a denial.

>> Why would I do that?

>> To win, I presume.

>> Yeah, sure. Okay. But I didn't. Look, it

used to happen, but nowadays people

declare they put a coda to the vintage

black label reserve or BB block or

something that denotes a special blend.

Julian didn't want that.

>> What did he want? a wine that if it won

would be available to his listeners, his

fans, right? He want them to be able to

go to the supermarket and buy his gold

medal wine. That's a guaranteed market

right there. His listeners will be able

to snap up our 3,000 dozen three times

over.

>> 3,000 dozen.

>> It's a quantity of our vintage. So,

there's no point blending something to

win if you can't then meet the supply.

So, I did that and we won fair and

square.

>> Would you take a taste? Um, it's from

the remainder case. It's locked up at

the station.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, not for me. I'm interested in what

you think. You know your wine well,

right? Of course.

I admit being a wine novice, it's all

getting a bit out of my league.

You taste with your eyes closed and you

listen to the middle of your tongue.

>> And

that's interesting.

There's something in there.

I can't quite put my finger on it. I'll

need to make some comparisons.

Look, get back to me.

>> Yeah. Hi, [music] it's me. Yeah, look,

something's gone horribly wrong.

>> SGE, uh, there's an issue in public.

Amanda James wants to see you. She's

pretty worked up. Oh.

Hey, this is crazy.

>> Mr. Detective Shepherd, you have to

arrest Rob Viznik.

>> And why is that?

>> He contaminated my wine. Arrest him

[music] now. You must.

>> Would you like to come through to my

office, Chris? Yes.

Is that your Sims? [music]

Take a seat. Amanda.

>> Braznik put urine in my wine.

>> You think this because

>> uric acid or urea is present in my wine

as is chloride and creatinine. I mean,

not to mention magnesium and calcium.

How else could these elements get there?

So, you're saying he

>> he urinated in my wine? Yes.

>> Is that actually possible?

>> No.

>> No, it's not.

>> Well, I'm telling you he must have.

>> How do you know it's Rob's? You're

urine.

>> He doesn't like me.

>> Amanda, you don't know that.

>> I do. Amanda Rob thinks you're great.

>> He wanted to win.

>> And he did.

>> Yes. By pissing in my wine.

>> Chris, could you talk us through the

process of selecting wine for judging?

>> Sure.

It's a special moment. We randomly

select bottles and put them in a case.

All the bottles are the same, so anybody

will do. The idea is that what we make

is what [music] gets judged.

Amanda drove the cases down to the town

hall herself and handed them over.

They're under very strict security from

then on.

>> Is that what happened, Amanda?

>> Yes.

So, you're saying that somewhere in

between the wine being opened and it

being poured into the tasting glasses,

um, all under scrutiny and security, Rob

somehow managed to get urine into the

glasses. H

>> how else could you explain it?

>> And into the sealed wine bottles as

well.

>> If you're going to sling mud, Amanda,

some of it's going to stick. You better

have proof.

I do. I mean, I have it all recorded.

All the elements are down. They're

there. I mean, you can see it for

yourself. I mean,

>> let's go, eh? We'll talk about it in the

car on the way. Come on.

>> Unbelievable.

>> Thanks for your time.

>> See you. Uh, while you were talking with

crazy lady, a

>> keep it to Miss James B. While you were

talking with her, some bloke left you a

present.

>> He said to drink it

>> alongside a bottle of Bright Valley

Chardonnay from the judging case.

>> Who left this?

>> Didn't say. All he said was keep your

eyes closed.

He wants us to check it for sarin gas,

palonium, or anything.

>> I'm good.

>> She likes to point the finger. Guilty

people do that.

>> Sims,

get your coat. I've got more drinking to

do.

>> Need a hand with

>> I thought you were going to let the

cheap stuff breathe.

>> When it's me and two detectives at a cop

shop, I find it hard to relax.

But this

this feels like a party.

Shall we?

[music]

Gooseberries [music]

with spicy notes.

>> M. Okay. Um, maybe more grapefruit or

blackberry [music]

in this one.

>> Vanilla notes, straw, hay. [music]

Is that it? Oh, I like the middle of the

tongue thing.

>> To pick the differences.

>> I am so confused.

>> Or you could just stop trying so hard

and maybe state the obvious,

>> which is

>> the two wines are identical.

>> Rob

figured it out yet?

>> There's a general consensus that the two

wines are in fact the same.

>> Well done.

Care to explain?

>> I care about wine making more than

anything. It's all I do. It's all I

know.

It's all that mattered.

>> But in the end, what really matters is

that we didn't win.

>> But you did win.

>> Did [snorts] we?

That's weird.

>> Problem? I got a slight technical issue.

I'll call you back in 5. Okay.

Oatow.

Who called it in?

>> We don't know.

>> How can we not know? Can we get a

preliminary pronto?

>> I can start as soon as you're ready.

>> Bren, go with the body on it. I'll be

there soon.

Can we find out, please?

>> Is it true or is that Rob?

>> Oh god.

I was talking to my producer when I got

the call. I booted up the highway as

fast as I could. I can't believe this.

What the hell is going on, Shepherd?

>> Way too early to say.

>> Too early. There's a bloody serial

killer on the loose.

>> We don't know. It wasn't an accident.

>> An accident? Please. Rob Viznik was a

damn fine wine maker. One of the best

people of his experience. Do not just

trip and fall into a vat. Mike,

>> the call came through from Amanda James.

>> Amanda film.

>> Still think it was an accident,

detective?

>> Okay, bring her in. I'll meet you at the

station.

>> [music]

>> Not doing a runner today.

>> Nowhere to run, too.

>> You aware of what's happened at Bright

Valley?

>> Should I be?

>> Rob Viznik's been found dead.

>> Oh, hell. in an open fermenttor.

You've been here all day.

>> What are you asking?

>> If you've been here all day.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, keep an eye out. Anything

suspicious?

>> Oh, I saw Amanda James racing up and

down the road.

>> Yeah, we know she went up there.

>> Julian didn't waste any time, did he?

>> What? Well, I need a new Ventner. He's

obviously called Amanda up again.

Couldn't even wait till Rob's in the

ground.

>> So Julian asked Amanda to work for him.

>> When was this?

>> Recently. Amanda told him to go and take

a running jump in her own peculiar way.

Rob stuck it to him anyway by winning

gold.

Amanda, sorry I got held up. chatting to

a wine maker.

>> Who?

>> Uh Dominic Nickel.

>> He likes you, by the way. He thinks

you're brilliant despite what you said

about his grapes.

>> Oh, yes. Well, it's true. You know, they

do look like hemoroids on it.

>> Uh, it's okay. We already have that

image on record.

>> Uh, no need for that just yet, Detective

Sims. We're just here for a chat. Is

that okay, Amanda?

Carry on.

Um, [clears throat]

Amanda,

you called the police when you found Rob

Visnick dead, but you wouldn't leave

your name. Why was that?

>> I was shocked. I I thought you might

think it was me that killed Rob.

>> But there was no one else there. I

walked in and the place was empty. What

were you doing at Bright Buddy Wines

this afternoon?

>> I went to talk to Rob.

>> And did you?

>> How could I? He was dead.

>> What did you want to talk to him about?

>> Why he did what he did to my wine?

>> He cheated me out of a gold medal. And

you were angry about this? Yes.

>> Did Julian Bride approach you to make

his wine?

>> Who told you that?

>> Dominic Nickel.

>> I didn't want to. I said no.

>> You didn't mention this before. Well,

>> why is it important? He knows absolutely

nothing about wine. He's not relevant.

>> Tell us about his visit.

>> Um, oh, he uh [sighs] he came twice.

The first time I said no,

and then he came again on the Saturday

morning, the day before the awards.

>> What do you want?

>> Oh, to talk business.

>> I told you I'm not interested.

>> No harm in talking.

>> He came in anyway.

>> Did you ever leave him alone? No.

Oh. Um, briefly.

I thought he might be spying, so I had

some papers in the lab.

>> No, Julian.

>> What does that prove?

>> Nothing yet.

>> She could be making it up.

>> When you said bring her in, I thought we

were finally treating her as a suspect.

I know.

>> Well, if we're not, we can't hold her.

>> And we don't want to.

>> It's all got to go. A whole fat of

premium merlo. Rob would hate that.

>> Probably hates the fact that he's dead

more.

>> Yeah, of course. That

wine was his life.

Actually, that's the curious thing. You

said Rob was a damn fine wine maker.

>> He was brilliant,

>> but not that brilliant.

>> What do you mean?

>> Didn't you try to replace him with

Amanda James?

>> It was a passing conversation once.

>> And she said,

>> "No,

that's fine. Business is business."

Rob was looking at moving on and

obviously I had to plan ahead and find a

replacement.

>> We certainly moved on.

>> Yeah. Can we not speak ill of the dead

quite so soon?

>> Given what's happened, I'm glad she

turned me down. I mean, she's clearly a

menace. Tell me she's still down at the

station.

>> I've just spoken to her.

>> Good.

Look, [clears throat] it's um it's 8:00.

I've got to head back to the show

tomorrow. Uh

>> what were you talking to your producer

about?

What?

>> You said you were talking to your

producer uh when the call came about

wrong.

>> Oh, uh ratings. Yeah, ratings come out

tomorrow. How's that important?

>> Obviously, it's not.

>> Oh, great. Glad you're focusing on the

big stuff, detective.

>> Can I go?

>> Yeah. Drive carefully.

>> Brent, seen you. Sorry. Uh things

snowballed a bit. What do we got?

>> You talk about snow, you know nothing

about snow. Come to Russia, you'll learn

about snow,

>> right? Uh so

>> he drunk. Same as the last man. Another

waste of good ponoir.

>> Merllo, I believe.

>> Red wine is red wine. Snow on the other

hand, there are many different kinds of

snow. Maybe a hundred.

Bruising and welts across his upper

back.

No broken bones.

>> Blunt instrument most likely.

>> Any other wounds?

>> No.

>> You said penino.

>> You said merlo.

>> Pino. Merlo. Let's call the whole thing

off.

It's kind of a song.

It doesn't matter. Um, can you test this

for similarities to the raw one in the

winter case?

>> No.

>> Right now.

>> It's late. I'm a doctor, not a

scientist. Where will I find a lab

that's open in Broken Wood?

>> I could take it into the ESR in the

city.

>> No, that won't be necessary.

>> Amanda,

>> Mr. Detective Shepherd,

>> I have a science experiment I need done.

>> Why?

>> I can't tell you. These both contain raw

wine. I need to know what varietal they

are.

>> Why?

Let's just say I'm curious about why.

>> No. Why are they marked P and R? They

should be marked A and B.

>> Well, they're not.

>> They should be. Are there 15 other

samples?

>> 15.

>> A B C D E F G H I J K L E.

>> Uh, no. Ju just these two. Will you help

me?

>> [music]

>> I'm supposed to be light, bright, and

[music] superial. And I'm supposed to be

fountain of happiness. And I'm supposed

to live like some kind of wedding

[singing] song. And I'm supposed to

stand here and make out like I'm [music]

strong.

What if I'm wrong?

What if I'm wrong?

[music] I pass you on the street. My

eyes glow down and your numbers on the

screen. So I let the call ring out. You

say you want to see me. Say you want to

be my friend. But something doesn't feel

right. I won't pretend. I won't [music]

pretend.

What if I'm

toll chicks? Okay. [singing]

>> Going south there and south there.

Always go [music] with what my bones say

in my bones say follow [singing] your

heart.

Always go with what my bones say in my

bones [music] will tear us aart.

[music]

up

soon.

[music and singing]

I'm better off without

you. Always

go with what my bones

[singing and music] say. My bones will

tear us aart.

>> What are you doing?

>> Waiting for the phone to ring.

>> Have you been to bed?

>> No, I don't think I have. How do you

know the phone's going to ring?

>> I just do.

>> This makes sense

to you, obviously, not to other humans.

>> Yeah, but only if the phone rings

>> coffee.

>> Amanda,

>> both samples P and R are of the Merlo

varietal. You know this because

>> the anthosin composition of red grape

varietals is well documented. Acetate

derivatives account for 22% in Merlo and

usually the relationship between the

commerates and the acetates is

>> okay. Okay, I'm convinced. Thank you

Amanda. If I wasn't on the phone, I

would kiss you.

>> I I wouldn't like that.

>> Oh no, I'm sorry.

>> Goodbye, Mr. Detective Shepher.

>> Thank you, Amanda.

>> Amanda's testing something for you.

>> The raw wine found in Paul Winerson and

Rob Visley. Wait,

you got a chief suspect to conduct

scientific tests on exhibit material?

>> Well, not all of it. There was no one

else available. She didn't know where

the samples came from, and I never said

she was a suspect. Both samples are

mellow.

>> Red wine. Yes.

>> Not Pino Noir. Paul was found in a vat

of Pino Noir.

>> Well, but

that's not where he died.

>> Winter drowned in the same vat as

Viznik.

>> [music]

>> Seen you. I found it. [music]

>> Stand over the technician until he finds

it and email me a copy pronto. I need it

in 3 hours. Every second counts. Bri,

>> better hope it's there.

>> I'm sure it will be. If [music] it's

not,

>> then someone's going to look like a

prize idiot.

>> Great.

>> Not you. Me.

>> I'm off.

>> Text me the moment you get a response.

>> We'll do.

>> Did you file the application?

>> Send.

>> Good day, Shepher.

>> The application for the warrant makes

for interesting reading. [music]

>> Yeah. Can I have it in two and a half?

I'll get Sims to pick it up.

>> If what you think is true, this is going

to blow up big.

>> I know.

>> How sure are you?

>> Well, two dead bodies and a truckload of

evidence. Mhm. But only circumstantial.

Not if I get that warrant.

>> And that's my show for today. The rest

of the day belongs to you. I'm Julian

Bright. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

>> You heard. Top the ratings again. Saw

Sarah on the way. Congratulations.

>> Blood, sweat, and talent, buddy. [music]

But of course, it's a team effort. That

Sarah's really something though, isn't

she? Nice wine. wouldn't celebrate with

anything else. Is there somewhere more

private we can talk?

>> Uh, sure. Meeting room. I'll grab some

glasses.

>> Sorry, I'm late.

>> You know, Detective Simpson.

>> Yes. I'll get another glass.

>> I'm fine.

>> Right.

I uh bought two bottles. I didn't know

which one you'd want.

>> They're both the same.

>> Identical, in fact. Yet, they're quite

different. But then again, you already

know that.

>> Sorry. What's going on here?

>> Oh, we're here to let you confess to the

murders of Paul Winston and Rob

Viznling.

[laughter]

>> What are you insane?

>> Now, we can keep it simple where you go,

"Yeah, you're right. I did it." or I can

explain it to you and give you the

opportunity to remember you going,

"Yeah, you're right. I did it."

>> This is the most preposterous thing I

have ever heard.

>> Do you want to call a lawyer?

>> I don't need a lawyer. Nothing to hide.

If I had a dollar for every time I'd

heard that.

>> But I do want to record this

conversation because if I'm going to be

slanted, I'd like to have a record of

it. That all right with you, detectives?

>> By all means.

But I warn you, I will play it on the

national airwaves if I so choose.

Because if you're going to tell some

[ __ ] and bull story about me and impugn

my reputation, I will have no hesitation

in making you look like the fools you

are.

Now, do you want to reconsider?

>> How would you feel about being on the

radio?

>> I always wanted to read the news.

>> Oh, you're going to be the news girly.

>> We'll see, shall we?

>> You sure you don't want to reconsider?

No, I'm good.

>> I'm Julian [music] Bright talking with

detectives Mike Shepard and um

>> Kristen Sims.

>> It's the 5th of May [music] and they're

here to tell a story.

Once upon a time, there were two

detectives looking in all the wrong

places.

>> Over to you, two clowns.

>> [music]

[music]

>> The end.

There once was a man called Julian

Bright who wanted to win a gold medal at

the Brokenwood Wine [music] Award so

badly that he approached Amanda James to

be his wine maker.

>> What do you want?

>> No harm in talking.

>> These meetings gave him the chance to

learn the access codes.

>> No harm in talking some more.

>> And gave him the opportunity to disable

the security cameras.

The night before the awards, he let

himself [music] in

stole two cases of wine, the judging

case and another of the same vintage.

Back at his winery, he decanted the

first dozen of her wine into Bright

Belly bottles,

then [music] spoiled the second dozen by

blending it with urine

and then rebottling it.

Then he used his screw cap machine to

reapply the stelins which were now both

coincidentally red. A recent change made

by Bright Valley to make the RS work. Uh

we found these in [music] your outside

bin. 24 of them all seemingly sliced

with a box cutter. Tricky things to get

off though.

Yes,

>> she

snap.

Yes, they're both red, but the wading on

the underside of Amanda's Stolven is

silver.

Julian's is off-white.

It is subtle, but definitely different.

Julian snuck back into the Amanda James

Winery to return the now spoiled

submission case.

Amanda

James unwittingly took rancid wine to be

judged.

>> The gold medal goes to Bright Valley's

Reserve Chardonnay.

>> And in this way, Julian Bright won his

coveted gold medal by using Amanda

James' wine. Pretty good.

At this stage, a bit of nasty but

harmless industrial espionage.

[applause]

>> Have you done?

>> But Paul Winson cpped a lucky or should

I say unlucky break.

>> In that moment, he figured it out.

>> Wow. Okay. That's

>> So later he rang Julian.

Julian Bride.

>> So, I'm pretty sure I know what you did,

Julian.

>> He wanted to talk about a deal. He

reckoned [music] he deserved a

significant slice of the action.

>> Um, look, I'm going to have to pull

over. I'll I'll um call you back in a

minute, mate. All right.

>> 50/50 of the profits on the vintage to

keep his mouth shut. Around 180,000 by

his calculations. Warhead blow the game.

Not a good look for a fine, upstanding,

well principled radio host on the

national airwaves.

>> So Julian [music] invited Paul to his

winery to talk details.

[music]

>> The tollway records

uh passing through south at 10:05 and

then back again north at 10:17.

On the 2-hour trip back to Brokenwood,

Julian had time to think about how angry

he was. Win would send in that little

upstart.

I mean, Julian was angry at being

blackmailed.

>> I won gold for this. And you want a

piece of it?

>> No, but you didn't win, Julian.

>> Wrong. Winerson. Who do you think you

are? What have you ever done with your

life?

>> Oh, I know. Why? Mate,

>> how dare you accuse me?

>> At that point, Julian could have gone to

the police. Blackmail is a criminal

offense.

But no,

>> I know my wife.

>> You know nothing, mate. CALM DOWN.

>> YOU KNOW NOTHING.

>> Julian whacked Paul with a bottle, a

green bottle, as evidenced by the dark

green shards taken from Paul's head.

Important because Amanda James prefers

clear bottles. When she does go colored,

she uses amber or medium green.

At this point, Julian was so consumed

with rage that he wanted to really teach

that coward a lesson.

>> Stay down.

>> You don't know where TO STAY DOWN, DO

YOU?

Stay down.

[sighs]

And so it was that Paul Winersonen was

drowned in the vat of fermenting Milo.

This is a sample of what we found in

Paul's lungs.

Milo,

not Pino Noir.

At this point, Julian would have taken a

deep breath.

>> Oh [ __ ] I mean, how the hell does he

get out of this?

But then

>> he had access to Amanda's winery.

[music]

She turned you down. So why not make it

look like she did it?

>> Having already disabled the security

cameras, it was perfect cover. He was

Amanda's problem now. She was a sore

loser. Paul was there that night. Paul

had told you that the finger of blame

was easily going to point to her.

[music]

To implicate her further, you called

Paul's cell phone.

>> [music]

>> Yeah, nice work on that, by the way.

That slowed us down.

>> But there was wine in the car boot from

Paul's drenched clothes, so he took care

of that.

pretty good. You had everyone looking

the wrong way, but like a dead body, the

truth just [music] doesn't stay down.

And soon Rob Viznet cracked on to what

you'd done. He called [music] you

straight after your radio show at um

12:03 p.m.

Interesting, because I walked out of his

[music] office at 12:02, having given

him reason to doubt his wine.

>> Yeah. Hi, it's me. [music]

>> He was appalled. He threatened to go to

the wine growers association

>> to shame you.

clear his name as much as anything.

[music]

>> And I'm telling you, it's not my wine.

>> You see, you couldn't abide Rob's

threats, so you hightailed it up to your

winery midweek to deal with him.

>> The wine that was found in Rob's lungs

is the same wine that was in Paul's.

Merlo.

That was the kicker.

But thinking ahead, you didn't want to

use the toll road. You wouldn't want to

be clocked going through. You took the

coastal highway. There's no toll there.

But there is a speed camera. And as I

remember,

Julian Bright doesn't drive slowly.

Wow. Look at that technology.

Hm. A speed camera picture of your car

signaling a speeding fine you haven't

even received yet.

>> Don't worry. You have 28 days to pay.

>> That means nothing. Anybody could have

been driving.

>> Oh, except as I remember. Now, no one

drives this puppy except me.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I mean, it's all just circumstantial. I

mean, it'll never stand up in court.

Well, juries do convict on the death by

a thousand cuts once more.

Yeah, if you're done, I'd like to go

home and rejoin the real world.

>> Not quite. Uh, you will have hidden it

somewhere.

>> It what?

>> I'm guessing on your phone. People put

heaps of things there these days. You

would have meant to delete it, but you

probably didn't. Um, shall I check?

>> Check for what? You're not looking

through. This is my private phone,

>> which is why we bought this. A warrant

to search and seize.

>> There it is. The notes here 562265

random numbers. So what it happens to be

Amanda's security code. I mean it's just

pure coincidence.

>> How would you know that's her code? I

never said it was.

>> No, you did when before when you asked

about it is

>> but how would you know that unless you'd

used it?

But do you know the real beauty of these

phones? They have an internal tracking

device. something to do with GPS, a

smart computer thing. Once sent to a

lab, an IT guy can get these things to

reveal their movements. Every time a

phone goes to a location, it charts its

position. Thousands upon thousands of

tiny blue dots denoting time and place

over the phone's life. This phone will

remember every time it visited

Brokenwood or your winery or Amanda's

winery to dump Paul's body or to kill

Rob Vizn.

>> I didn't have my phone with me that

time. Uh, what time was this, Julian?

Oh, sorry. I'm still catching up. I'm

just a girly, you see.

>> What just happened there?

>> You confessed.

Told you you would.

>> IT'S MY BLOODY PHONE.

GET OUT OF MY PHONE. Give me that money.

You're going to hate this, but uh all

that stuff about the phone, I kind of

made it up.

>> Julian Bright, you were under arrest for

the murders of Paul Winerson and Rob

Bisnick. You have the right to remain

silent. You do not have to make a

statement. Anything you say will be

recorded.

>> Thanks for helping me with that.

>> And may be given an evidence in court.

Hey,

thinking next year you could go for a

bitis.

Sounds like a disease.

>> Yeah, it is.

>> I knew that.

>> In the meantime, [music]

you look like you need a wine.

>> Hell no. Feel like a beer.

>> What do you reckon? Hey,

>> standing in a stranger's room

>> with strangest things all around me.

>> I put some coins on the table

[music and singing]

and hope to pay back anything that I

Oh no. [screaming]

No.

Yeah, here's one for the [music] record

books.

>> Got halfway here and realize they left

the bloody clubs at home.

>> Just keep them here like everybody else.

They're perfectly safe.

>> Not until they catch that little bugger.

Ah,

>> money and booze, Doug. He's done this

twice. He's not going to come back for

your man clubs. You'll be back. Should

carry your shotty in your bag. You might

bag him.

Stop.

Stop fooling around.

>> Oh, damn it.

[music]

>> Yeah. Well, that practice really paid

off. It's on the fairway. Shut up.

>> Shot.

Did

>> you talk to her?

>> Yes.

>> Find out why she changed [music] her

mind.

>> Thought the rule was no business while

we're playing.

>> Not bad. Awesome. [music]

How lucky.

>> Jesus.

What is it plugged?

>> Uh, call an ambulance.

>> Well, I haven't got a [music] phone.

>> Neil.

>> Bloody hell, Roger.

>> Call an ambulance.

>> Why?

What is it?

Holy hell.

>> Oh my god. Is that Allison?

>> I reckon. Bit bloody late for an

ambulance.

>> I [music and singing] love you, but I

got to let go. You know I love you, but

I got to let go. You know I love you,

[music and singing] but I got to let go.

Cuz you're no good for my soul.

[music]

>> What we got?

>> The deceased is an Allison Stone. She's

a local, lives next door, member of the

golf club on the committee apparently.

>> Take it she wasn't hit by a stray golf

ball.

>> Definitely not.

>> Chose a nice day to go,

>> I guess.

>> I hear you like golf.

>> Who's he talking to?

>> The deceased.

>> Okay,

>> you get used to it.

>> Who found her?

A Neil Bloom, Walter Elliot, Roger

Harrington, and Doug Randall.

>> They IDed her?

>> Yep. They're on the committee, too.

>> All of them?

>> Yeah.

>> Them and the deceased.

>> The five of them comprise the Brokenwood

Golf Club committee, apparently.

>> Okay.

>> They play every Wednesday morning at

this time. Them, not her.

>> Got it.

>> Uh, the trail leads down to the

Greenskeeper small storage shed.

Indications are that that's where

whatever did that to her was

>> done, [music]

>> administered.

>> H

boss, morning Sam.

>> Forensic boys are working under the

assumption that whatever did that to our

victim is kind of toxic.

>> So she was administered here and made it

as far as there before dying.

So, what 2 minutes, maybe three before

she cked it,

>> something like that.

>> And I'd say toxic is a fairly fair

assumption.

>> There's some spray equipment in the shed

which will be tested, but the guys doubt

it's been used in a while.

>> Is there a Greenskeeper that can help us

with it?

>> According to the committee chap, the

Greenskeeper is a Hamish Grim.

Tried his number, no reply.

One possible scenario here is that she

was on an early morning walk and busted

the clubhouse bandit.

>> Sorry, the who?

>> Do you not read the broken wood courier?

>> The clubhouse bandit is what they've

dubbed the guy going around breaking

into all the golf courses in the area.

Here the clubhouse twice and now the

shed. The Riverstone course was hit as

well and Pukaroo Falls.

>> The clubhouse bandit. Is that really the

best name they could come up with?

>> It's been doing the rounds for a couple

of months. Booze, trophies, petty cash,

honesty boxes.

>> So, he graduates from honesty boxes to

murder.

>> Chief springs. He panics, throws the

first thing he grabs into her face.

>> In which case, he would have got the

stuff all over himself and be a very

unwell boy.

>> I'll check with the hospitals, doctors,

etc.

>> [music]

>> What's going on?

>> She got what was coming to her.

>> D next of Kim.

>> Daughter. Ma.

>> Um,

>> no husband.

>> I died a few years back.

>> Has the uh daughter been informed?

>> Not yet. Unable to locate her, not

answering her phone.

>> Unfortunately, I think I can help you

with that.

>> Hello. Uh, Detective, Senior Sergeant

Mike Shepard, and you are

>> Roger Harrington.

>> And you know where Na is?

>> Well, I have an idea where she might be.

>> Can you talk to Detective Sims, please?

>> Do you still need us?

>> I'd be keen for a chat. Yes,

>> we've already given statements.

>> Not to me, you haven't.

>> All we did is find the body. Ah,

>> shouldn't take very long, then, should

it?

Hi. Can I help you? You meant to be

here?

>> They uh at the they told me to come down

here.

>> Did they say why?

>> I work here sort of.

>> Are you the greenskeeper?

>> Yeah, part-time.

>> Hamish Grim, right?

>> Yeah.

>> You knew Ellison Stone?

>> Yeah, everyone here did. Terrible thing.

>> There are some officers up at your shed

who are going to need your help in case

anything is out of place or is missing.

>> You think he did this? The guy that's

doing all the robberies.

>> One thing at a time, eh? For now, can

you help my officers?

>> Hish.

>> Yeah. Yeah. On to it.

>> [music]

>> the end of Stone Creek Road. The old

farm manager's house.

>> Uh, what farm is this?

>> The Stones. [music] They own pretty much

the whole valley.

>> But the daughter doesn't live with the

mother.

>> Nikki Stone is what we used to call a

piece of work. Like mother, like

daughter.

>> And Allison didn't mind [music] her

daughter living in squala

>> with your son.

>> Sometimes

you located the daughter.

>> She's jacked up with Roger's son.

>> Ah, and he's not happy about the

situation.

>> Oh, hell no.

>> Okay, I'll leave you with that.

>> Oh, so I get to inform the next of Kent.

>> Consider it a gift.

Remind me how breaking terrible news to

someone is a gift to again.

>> My ex-wife used to love spontaneous

[music] gifts. Not

>> really. Which one?

>> Thank you, gentlemen. Hopefully, I won't

keep you long.

>> It's not like we can play any golf, is

it?

>> That is true. The course will remain

closed for a day or two. Nothing I can

do about that, I'm afraid. Is there

somewhere private we can talk?

>> Is the office?

>> Sorry. And you are

>> Grim. Janet Grim. Janet kind of runs the

place.

>> Ah, and that would be your son, the

greenskeeper.

>> Yeah.

>> Actually, how about down the end there?

It's very scenic, very golfy.

Golfy,

>> right? Then, why don't I start with

whoever arrived here first this morning?

>> You spent the night here?

>> Yes.

>> Is that usual?

>> It happens from time to time. I live

some distance away. Sometimes it makes

sense for me to stay here if I have an

early start at the shop the next day.

>> Which shop is this?

>> A pharmacy.

>> You're a chemist.

>> I'm a pharmacist.

>> There's a difference.

>> Chemists make the drugs that cure your

ills. Pharmacists dispense them.

>> You stayed here all last night?

>> Yes. And this morning?

>> I showered in the locker room, got

dressed, headed out to play.

Was there anyone else here then? Walter

unusually.

>> Are you practicing?

>> Is there a law against it?

>> What happened to Mr. Rock up just in

time to tea off?

>> Maybe he got sick of double bogging the

first.

>> You arrived at 7:30

>> around then? A bit earlier than usual, I

hear. I felt the need to practice.

>> Did you see anyone else while you were

practicing?

>> Well, not till Neil came out from

inside.

>> Did you know he was in there? No, but I

know he stays there sometimes when it's

a better option than driving home at

night.

>> He didn't make it home last night. I

see.

>> No.

>> Did you talk to her?

>> Do I need to remind [music] you of the

no business rule?

>> Look on your face.

>> I stayed to go through the books one

more time so idiots like you would

realize how screwed things are.

>> Did you reimburse the bar while you were

going through these books? small

recompense for my valuable time.

>> Maybe we wouldn't be so screwed if you

paid for what you drink.

>> Drop in the bucket, Walter. You know it.

>> Walter and Neil were here when I

arrived. What time was this?

>> The usual. Um, about 10 to 8.

>> Neil. Walter. Rod.

>> Roger. How was the uh rest of your

night?

>> Uneventful. Why?

>> Oh, nothing.

>> Is Doug not playing? No idea. We tea off

at 8:00 on uh Wednesday mornings, but we

were a few minutes late waiting for

Doug.

>> Yes, I was late. I got halfway here and

remembered the bloody clubs.

>> You went to play golf without your

clubs.

>> Well, usually I leave them out in the

bag [ __ ]

>> But not anymore.

>> Well, not since that thief did us over.

You thought he was a bloody joke and now

look.

>> Quite a leap from ripping off the

honesty box to murder, don't you think?

>> Well, she must have sprung him while

she's out on a walk. Obvious, isn't it?

You knew Allison Stone walked the golf

course. Of

>> course I didn't. We all didn't.

>> Are we somehow suspects here?

>> Not yet. So Neil, you stayed the night

>> after the meeting.

>> The committee meeting?

>> Yes.

>> The four of you were here last night.

>> And Allison,

>> they all left pretty much straight after

the meeting.

>> Let's just vote on this bloody thing

before somebody kills someone.

>> Yes, [music] she left the meeting as

soon as it broke up.

I don't see how this has got anything to

do with

>> Well, that was the last time you saw

Allison, I presume.

>> Yes. I went straight home after the

meeting. Came back here early this

morning. Hit the ball a couple of times.

Found Ellison in the bunker.

That's a story, detective. Nothing more

to say.

Hello, this is the police.

all get in the end.

In the end,

man,

hello. Police here.

Hello, Nyla.

Hey, you can't be in here unless you've

got like a search warrant or something.

Um, I'm here about your mother.

>> What does she want now?

>> Nyla, I'm here because

>> Don't call me Nyla. Only she calls me

that.

>> Okay, fine. Now, what would you like me

to call you?

>> Nikki.

Nikki, there was a body found this

morning. It was that of your mother.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, your

mother is dead.

Is there anyone else here with you?

>> No.

>> That was Kyle Harrington, I presume, who

ran off.

>> Do you want to tell me maybe why he did

that?

>> Where? Sorry. Where's mom? Where's the

body?

>> It's still at the scene.

>> Which is where? I want to see her. She's

at the golf course, but the body will be

taken to the morttery very soon. So, you

can go down there and see her.

>> Why did you say scene? Like a crime

scene?

>> Scene of the investigation. Is there

anyone who can be with you now? Anyone

we can contact on your behalf?

>> Mom's sister, my auntie lives in Rooua.

>> Do you have a number for her?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, what happened at the golf course?

Cuz she walks there every morning. Why

don't you find me that number? We can

get that underway. Maybe you want to

finish getting dressed, too.

They were here when we moved in.

I think you better come back down to

[music] the station with me.

I had a dream last night and you were

shining

a golden cloud my friend. The silver

lining.

The cup is full again. And yet the cup

is empty.

The golden rules will bend. The vacuum

gent.

The city lights fade. And the city is

gone.

The body is gone.

The body is gone. Oh, mother.

>> Kristen, [music] how's the next kid?

>> Unhappy. It's hard to know if the death

of her mother has anything to do with

it, though.

>> How so?

>> I seem to have cracked the case of the

clubhouse bandit, her boyfriend, Kyle

Harrington.

>> And what does Kyle have to say for

himself now?

>> Unknown. [sighs] He leaked it. The boys

are out searching.

>> And the daughter?

>> She's here at the station along with a

house load of nicked items. I had no

choice but to bring her in. Uh, hence

the lack of happiness.

>> Exactly.

>> I'll be there in a while. Hey, remind

me. Is Mr. Stone deceased?

>> Uh, yeah. Died in 2004, apparently.

>> Has there been a bloke on the scene

since?

>> Not that anyone said.

>> Uh, lived alone, ran a farm alone,

kicked butt on the golf course. That's

all I've got so far. Why?

>> Well, there was definitely a bloke here

last night.

>> And this morning when she went walking,

they were still here.

>> Who exactly?

Hello, Nikki. I'm detected.

>> Why am I here? I've just found out my

mom's dead, and you're treating me like

I'm some kind of criminal.

>> Firstly, I am very sorry for your loss,

and I promise I will keep this as brief

as possible, but like I was saying, I'm

DC Shepherd. You've met Detective Sims,

and I do need to ask you a few questions

about the stolen property that was in

the house you were in.

>> What stolen property?

>> Well, the numerous trophies to start

with.

>> We didn't know they were stolen.

>> He just thought Kyle was extremely good

at golf.

>> And ladies golf, judging by half the

trophies.

>> So, if he didn't steal them, why did

Kyle run away?

>> Ask him. We will.

>> So, you live with Kyle in the old farm

manager's house, right?

>> Not really.

So, you live at home?

>> Sometimes.

>> You kind of move between home and

wherever Kyle is.

>> Mom said Kyle could stay in the house

seeing it was empty.

>> What happened to the farm manager?

>> She left after Dad died.

>> She

>> Yeah. Janet Grim

>> from the golf club.

>> I don't know. I guess I hate golf.

>> Fair enough. Odd to have a woman farm

manager.

>> Have you seen her?

>> You were with Kyle last night. Yep.

>> And this morning?

>> Yep.

>> All of this morning?

>> Until you guys showed up? Yes. At which

point Kyle ran away for reasons known

only to him.

>> I guess so.

>> When was the last time you saw your

mother?

>> Yesterday.

>> Where?

>> At our house. Then I left to go hang out

with Kyle.

>> Was she alone when you left?

>> Yeah.

>> What about later?

>> How would I know? I wasn't there.

>> Uh,

>> was she expecting someone? Her her

boyfriend?

>> Well, I'd hardly call him that.

>> Who?

>> Her stress relief. The latest play thing

she dragged back to her web.

>> The latest?

>> Yeah. Mom has

had boyfriends.

I generally made a point not to be there

when they were around and it worked for

both of us.

>> Does this latest play thing have a name?

Hamish Grim,

the Greenskeeper. I like to think of him

more as the mansluck toy boy

>> and related to your ex- farm manager.

>> Yeah, her son.

>> Well, can I go now? I have grieving to

do.

I've been in touch with your auntie

Renee. She's on her way here.

>> Nikki, if Kyle gets in touch with you,

can you tell him we'd please like to

speak with him?

>> He didn't kill her. We still need to

speak with him.

>> The club captain's son is the clubhouse

bandit.

>> Classic.

>> Clubhouse idiot. More like it. What's he

planning to do with all this stuff? You

can't hawk it off. It's not worth

anything.

>> Do you think all this has something to

do with Allison Stone's death?

>> You tell me.

>> Well, simple explanation. She catches

Kyle in the axe.

>> Or

>> or

Nikki gets her boyfriend started on a

crime spree so that when mommy dies,

he's the prime suspect,

>> not her.

>> That's duck.

>> She's the only child of a widow. No

prizes for guessing who'll wind up with

the farm.

>> It's a pretty elaborate setup for an

18-year-old.

>> Well, you saw her. Serious attitude. And

she definitely didn't like her mother.

>> Apart from Hamish, who did like her?

Allison had a talent for rubbing people

up the wrong way. Can you think of

anyone that might want Allison Stone

dead?

>> Yes.

>> Well, you could start with everyone

she's ever met. Narrow it down from

there.

>> You want to elaborate?

>> Not particularly. Throw a doubt, son.

She was a soulless cat. Not many going

to mourn her.

>> Alison Stone's cell phone calls in and

out.

>> Thanks,

>> Sam.

>> Check out the last call she received.

6:31 a.m. from the clubhouse. Neil

Bloom, he was the only one there.

>> So it seems. Boss, Roger Harrington's

here to identify the silverware.

>> These are the trophies stolen from the

Brokenwood Golf Club.

>> Of course they are. They've got the name

on them, haven't they?

>> Thank you.

>> Are we done here?

>> Uh, do you know where Kyle is?

>> No. There was some food taken from my

kitchen this morning when I got home

from the course. I presume that is him,

but no, I haven't seen him. You're aware

that we believe it was him who stole all

the stuff, right?

>> Yes.

>> Why do you think he stole the trophies?

I mean, the money and the booze, I get,

but why these? Are they valuable?

>> Look, I I don't know what is going on in

Kyle's head. You'd have to ask that

skank that he is with.

>> I take it you don't approve of your

son's relationship with Nikki Stone.

>> Kyle was a good kid until she came

along. She was still in school

and she latched on to him and that was

that. When was the last time you saw

Kyle?

A

>> couple of weeks.

>> Did you know it was him stealing from

the golf courses?

>> No. And if I did, I would bloody will do

him in your own son.

>> If it got him away from her in a

heartbeat, she's already going around

tweeting on that thing saying that well,

the cops are going to kill Kyle. Had

Linda on the phone in tears this

morning.

>> Linda is my wife.

Kyle's mother. She's away at the moment

in Vanoatu on business.

>> Is that everything?

>> Actually, no. I I need your help

understanding something. Allison Stone

was obviously a pretty handy golfer.

>> Yes.

Ladies champion from 1997 to 2014

>> and in um 1995.

>> A Hansen is her

>> her maiden name

>> before she married See

>> Curtis. Yes. who is quite a goal for

himself.

>> Yes, he was. That's that's where they

met.

>> She was a bit younger than him.

>> 25 years. Yes.

>> What does all this have to do with

Allison Dying?

>> I'm just trying to understand the

pieces. Like D. Randall here.

>> Doug. [music] Yes.

>> Seems like he and Curtis were rivals

>> and best friends.

>> Meanwhile, on the lady's side,

I presume Jay Grim is Janet from the

clubhouse.

Yes.

>> Who was the farm manager for the Stones

>> for Curtis? Yes.

>> But Ellison fired her.

>> Something like that. I don't really know

the details.

>> Presumably no love lost between them on

or off the golf course.

>> Janet doesn't play anymore.

>> But uh H Grim does.

>> He gave up also.

>> Doesn't [music] look much like a golfer

these days.

>> He was never a golfer,

>> but he what?

>> Yes, but he never got the game. Who

does?

>> Each to their own, detective.

>> Look, um, I really do need to go.

>> Of course.

>> Sam, please show Mr. Harrington out.

>> Uh, thanks. Your help has been

invaluable.

>> That was pretty bold. Telling a club

captain his game makes no sense.

>> Sorry, he just slipped out. Are you

seriously driving towards her death

being something to do with who stole the

stupid trophy?

>> Clubs like this are a tapestry. I'm just

trying to figure how everyone's woven

together.

>> Oh, you know about golf, do you?

>> Huh?

>> Hell no.

People were way more likely to kill each

other over sex than golf.

>> And Hamish Grim never actually mentioned

that he was doing the wild thing with

Allison Stone.

>> No. No, he didn't. Did he?

Must have slipped his mind.

>> [music]

>> Amish, how's it going?

>> Okay.

Mind if we ask you a couple of

questions? I

>> think I told you guys everything I know.

>> Did you?

>> Yeah. About the shed and the stuff in

it. Give one of your guys a rundown.

>> Yeah, but you didn't tell us anything

about you and Allison Stone.

What do you mean?

>> We hear that you and her were a couple.

>> No. No way.

>> So, if we got some of your DNA, it

wouldn't match the DNA I'm sure we'd

find all over Allison's sheets.

>> No.

I mean, yeah.

I was with her last night, but we

weren't a couple.

>> And you didn't think to tell us this

earlier?

>> Well, nobody asked me about it

>> because we didn't know about it.

It was meant to be a secret.

>> The relationship,

>> it wasn't like that.

We used to hook up when her daughter

wasn't there.

>> But Nikki is the one that told us.

>> Yeah. There was that one time when she

kind of sprung us. Allison didn't see

her because she was, you know, busy. And

I didn't think it was a good idea to

tell Allison after. E.

>> But you were with her this morning.

>> Yeah. when she went for a walk.

>> Yeah,

suppose.

>> What do you mean suppose?

>> Well, we woke up and we,

you know, and then I went back to sleep

and when I woke up again, she was gone.

It's pretty standard.

>> How do you mean standard?

>> She always got up and went for a walk.

She had masses of energy. E

she liked it if I was gone by the time

she came back.

How long have you and Allison been

hooking up like this? A

>> few months. She started paying me to do

jobs around the farm and one thing led

to another.

>> And was she still paying you afterwards?

>> Yeah. Oh, but I was still doing jobs,

too.

>> You were a [ __ ] to her.

>> No, I wasn't.

>> That's how she treated everyone. Why

should you be any different?

>> Mom, it wasn't like that.

>> No,

you thought it was love.

>> Wasn't love.

somewhere in the middle. It was going

someplace else.

>> You see, see how she operates. He finds

the weakness and then prays.

>> Shut up. You don't know what you're

talking about.

>> You've upset him now.

>> Operated.

>> What?

>> You said see how she Allison operates.

You mean operated? Past tense now.

>> Not really.

>> We're going to need a statement from

you.

>> Amish said all he knows. Oh, still need

it on record. Don't worry about it now,

but if he can come down to the station

at some stage, that would be great.

>> Also, we should get a statement from

you, too, Mrs. Grim.

>> I was having breakfast at home alone

before coming here.

>> No witnesses. End of statement.

>> We'll need to get that formally on the

record, too. Um, you can do that when

you and Hamish come in.

>> Do you still play?

>> No.

>> Why not? You were clearly very good.

Lost my taste for the game.

>> Do we know if there was ever a Mr. Grim?

>> I'd guess no.

>> Be worth finding out. I'll uh drop you

at the office.

>> M. Where are you going?

>> Research into the true meaning of golf.

>> Rather you than me.

>> That's what I thought.

>> Hi. Has your aunt arrived yet?

>> No.

>> Right.

>> Mind if I come in?

>> Do I have a choice?

>> Strictly speaking, this house is part of

a murder investigation. So,

>> whatever.

>> Are you okay?

>> What does it matter to you?

>> Don't worry, I won't be long. I'm just

here to get some of your mom's papers.

>> Is that okay by you?

>> Whatever.

Plus, I have one other thing to ask you.

>> What?

>> Can you please stay off the social

media, especially in relation to Kyle?

>> So, nobody knows what you're doing.

>> And what is that?

>> Everyone knows you think he did it.

>> Well, everyone thinks that because

that's what you're tweeting. All we know

is that he's the one responsible for the

burglaries and that's what we want to

talk to him about.

>> Or shoot him.

>> Why would we shoot him over some stupid

trophies?

Because he's an outlaw. He's the

clubhouse bandit.

>> Yeah, that name's not working on so many

levels.

>> What? It

>> doesn't matter. Look, [snorts] at the

moment, he's just a petty thief.

Why did he steal those stupid trophies?

Was it to get at his dad? Was that your

idea?

Like I said, stay off the social media.

It will only make things worse.

Six weeks [music] straight.

[singing]

Howdy, neighbor.

>> Jared, come in. Pull up a glass.

>> Yeah. No, I don't mind if I do.

>> Hope this pleases your expert pallet.

>> I'm sure it will. What do they say? A

glass from a friend is a friend in a

glass.

>> I've never heard [music] that one.

>> You have now. I just made it up.

>> Not bad. Chocolate notes.

Plum [music]

[singing]

>> peppery. Nice finish. Full body.

>> Speaking of bodies. Bad news about

Allison Stone. You heard about that?

>> Yep.

>> We haven't actually put a public name to

the victim yet.

>> Word gets around. Uncle Walter told me.

>> Walter Elliot.

>> Yeah. Uncle on my mom's side.

This must be a tough one for you. E,

why,

>> you know, all those people with

>> what? Motive.

I'm certainly getting the impression she

wasn't wellliked, but it's a long way

from not liking someone to murdering

them.

>> True. True. That

>> this wasn't just a neighborly visit, was

it Jared? Yeah, always neighborly Mikey.

>> Well, I've also been kind of sent here

as a delegation on behalf of the family

to tell you that uh Uncle Walter didn't

do it.

>> And why would I think he did?

>> Well, now I feel like I'm dobbing him

in.

>> Hey, you're the one who started this

conversation and it's not exactly going

as I planned. Okay, how about this? Cuz

I'm going to find out anyway. It' be

better coming from you. That make it

easier?

>> No, not much. Tell me,

>> Uncle Walter hated the Stone's guts. His

business went bankrupt and he blamed

them.

>> Why?

>> Well, because he was a beekeeper and his

bees all died.

>> And this is the stone's fault. How?

>> Because his bees all died.

>> Tell me about the bees, Jared.

>> Probably better to hear it from Uncle

Walter.

>> Take me home.

[music]

Take me home.

[singing]

Won't you take me home?

>> Mr. Elliot,

>> generally I only get called by my last

name when I'm deep in the cucker. Or

maybe I am deep in the cucker and I

don't know it yet.

>> Apparently, I need to ask you a few

questions.

>> Thought you already asked me a few

questions

>> about bees.

had to bring some backup with you before

you come talk to the Mai fellow, did

you?

>> You sent Jared to me, but it was only

fair that I bring him back to you.

>> I didn't send him.

>> That was everyone else's idea because of

my bad reputation with the cops.

>> Yeah, I've heard you did two years for

running over a cop.

He was standing in my way when I was

trying to leave.

>> He was trying to arrest you.

>> I didn't particularly want to be

arrested

>> for taking to the Stone's house with a

shotgun.

I only shot up the house.

>> Fairly extreme.

>> The other reason I bought Jared was to

um carry the beers.

>> Bees are quite important when you're a

beekeeper.

>> I can see that.

>> So when they all start dying, it's a big

deal.

So you spend a lot of money that you

don't have on experts who eventually

tell you that the selfish bastards up

the valley are using this poison spray

paratheon that kills bees. So you go to

see the selfish bastards in question and

you say any chance you could use another

spray and the selfish bastards say no.

[clears throat] And then your bees all

die.

>> So you then take to their house with a

shotgun.

You can see, can't you? How some people

might reckon you're still looking for

revenge?

>> I sure as hell didn't shed any tears

when the cancer took Curtis to stone.

>> And that was from the insecticide.

>> No, Jared, that's from being white and

not wearing a hat in the sun.

>> Oh, my bad.

>> But in answer to your question,

yeah, I wanted revenge.

But revenge can come in many forms,

Detective Shepherd. such as

>> when I got out, I sold my land, had

enough to buy this little place, and to

retire, and devote my life to golf. The

stupidest game ever invented.

Interesting choice.

>> Threw myself into it. Joined the

committee and everything.

>> Not because you love the game, I'm

guessing.

>> Because every chance I got to get in the

smug faces of the selfish bastards. Oh,

what an absolute load of water

to vote against every motion they tabled

to just be there.

A smiling brown face annoying the snot

out of them. I was going to take it.

Now your work is done.

In the nick of time.

>> What is it?

Parkinson's. Hey, you never told us

anything about this?

>> You want to know why I turned up early

this morning?

To see if I could still hold a damn

club.

Come on, man.

Get it together. [clears throat]

>> Jesus, man. Get off. It's precisely why

I didn't tell anyone.

Go and get me another beer.

Are you sure you should?

>> Yes. Get

>> I understand from what I read before

Jared interrupted me that there was a

special committee meeting last night.

There was

club secretary. Do you have minutes to

the meeting?

>> I do.

Very interesting [music] reading. They

are

>> [music]

>> Good morning, detective

>> Gina. Up nice and early.

>> Maybe I work all night. [music] Maybe I

do my best to work at night.

>> What do we know?

>> Ellison Stone. Cause of death? Pulmonary

edema leading to acute respiratory

failure.

>> In plain English.

>> Are you being funny?

>> Sorry. No, I mean uh break it down for

me. She inhaled something very bad. Her

lungs hemorrhaged, filled up with blood.

The moment she breathed it in, it was

goodbye Ellison stone.

>> Does the fact that she was an asmetic

contribute in any way?

>> This bad thing is so toxic, it would

have made no difference.

>> And do we know what the stuff is or do I

have to wait for the lab report?

>> Because I'm a rare and special person

who works all the night, I can tell you

the active ingredient in Ellison Stone's

death. Let me guess. Parathatheion.

>> Yes. How did you know?

>> I am a detective. So, what do we know

about Paratheon?

>> Insecticide. It has been banned here

since 2008. Vicious stuff.

>> The sort of stuff you'd find on a golf

course.

>> I don't know. I don't play golf.

>> Wise move.

>> Chasing a small white ball around a

large grain field.

Why would you do this?

>> It's a timeless question.

>> But I would say no. too heavy duty for

that sort of use. Strictly speaking, you

shouldn't find it anywhere these days.

Everything containing parathatheon, it

was withdrawn from sale long ago.

>> Any chance that this is the result of an

accidental exposure?

>> Only if someone accidentally shot her in

the face with it. Point blank.

>> Couple of things you need to know. Guess

which golfer did

>> Elliot?

>> Yes.

>> Because of the bees.

>> Okay. And we got the autopsy report

through. Atheon.

>> Should I just not bother?

>> I love it when you bother.

>> Uh, contents of the shed on the golf

course.

>> Nope. Don't have that one.

>> Let me guess. No trace of Paratha.

>> Correct.

>> Therefore, the killer bought their own.

Any other reported cases of illness or

death due to poisoning yesterday?

>> No.

>> Which means they also bought a hazmat

suit, breathing apparatus,

>> spraying apparatus,

>> and broke the lock on the door and

waited knowing she would come. Hence the

phone call

>> from the clubhouse.

>> Someone she knew, Neil Bloom.

>> Yeah. Telling her about the latest

breakin.

>> So who would have access to all this

paratheium stuff in the associated gear?

>> People whose job it is to spray things.

Farmers.

>> And where would they get it from?

>> A stock and station agents.

>> Morning. Morning.

Partheon?

>> Yes. Do you have any products containing

it?

>> Well, given that it was banned and

recalled years ago, absolutely not.

>> But you used to stock it

>> um in various forms um brands such as uh

Quickill, DOA, Parablast,

as did every other stocking station

agent in the district.

>> Yes, we're uh talking to them, but as

far as I'm aware, none of them were in

the vicinity when Allison Stone died.

Well, you're welcome to have a look

around. I'm sure you'll find nothing.

>> I'm sure you're right.

>> Are you able to get us a list of those

you sold parathenian based products,

too?

>> Yes, there are records of all those

sales. It will take me a little while to

dig them out.

>> As quick as you can would be good.

>> Have you heard from Kyle?

>> No. Have you found him yet?

>> No.

Thank you for your help.

So from chemicals to chemist no pharmacy

>> same thing.

>> Not according to Neil Bloom.

>> Before you can get

first you must get [music and singing]

lost.

Hey, where was it?

>> Morning, [music] Neil.

>> Detectives,

>> got a minute for a few questions.

>> Yeah, sure. Sure. Uh,

can you finish [music] this, please?

>> How can I help?

>> Just need to clarify a couple of things.

>> Sure, whatever I can do.

>> You stayed the night at the club after

the meeting. Yes. To work on the

accounts.

>> To present to the AGM?

>> Yes.

>> And to have a few drinks while you were

working.

>> A one or two while I worked.

>> And what time did you get up the next

morning?

>> 7:00.

>> You didn't get up at 6:30 to phone

Allison.

>> No.

>> Because someone did.

>> Someone phoned her from the clubhouse.

>> I didn't hear anything or anyone.

>> But you were asleep in the office. Yeah,

but that's not the only phone in the

building. There's one in the reception

and one in the bar.

>> So, someone could have used one of the

other phones without you hearing.

>> Absolutely. And I am a very sound

sleeper,

>> especially after a few drinks.

>> Who else has keys to the building?

>> Uh, goodness. Uh, the main building, uh,

Janet, Hamish, all the committee

members, most of the senior members.

>> Doesn't really narrow things down, does

it?

All I can tell you is it wasn't me.

>> Tell me about the meeting the night

before. The one about selling off half

the course.

>> What about it?

>> I've read the minutes.

>> Well, then you know exactly what

happened.

>> No, I know what the minutes say. I want

to get your take on it, especially about

the vote cuz that's the bit I don't

quite get.

>> Well, uh, after some spirited

discussion,

>> I bet

for a vote. Come on, let's just vote on

this bloody thing before somebody kills

someone.

>> Right.

The motion is that the board recommends

to the full membership that we accept

the offer from Fairway Views Limited for

the purchase of the parcel of land

comprising approximately one half of the

course.

Me, I vote no, as you're well aware.

>> Likewise, no.

Yes.

>> Yes.

>> This I don't quite understand. [music]

Roger, the club captain, Mr. Golf,

votes in favor of the sale.

>> Roger understood how screwed financially

we are. He knew that half a course is

better than no course at all, which is

the other option.

>> Very pragmatic.

>> He's a very pragmatic man. I imagine his

pragmatism didn't go down too well in

some quarters.

>> Traitor,

>> I think the chairman should [music] keep

his opinions to himself while we're

voting. Don't you, Doug?

>> So, we recommend the sale.

>> Don't I get a vote?

>> I think we can guess your vote, Elsen.

>> I vote no.

>> What?

>> I said I vote no.

>> Tell me about Fairways Views Limited. It

is the company Allison and I set up to

facilitate the purchase of half the

course

>> which you were then going to onell to

property developers.

>> Yes.

>> At a significant profit.

>> That was the plan.

>> So in effect, Allison voted to torpedo

her own deal.

>> The members will still have a chance to

vote

>> without the recommendation of the board.

>> Correct.

But why did she want to do that?

>> I went to ask her after she shot out of

the meeting,

>> but she was otherwise engaged.

>> Allison,

[snorts]

>> not now. Neil,

>> what the hell just happened here?

[music]

>> I said not now.

>> Do you know what she and Roger were

talking about?

>> I just presumed that with Linda out of

town, they'd uh kick things off again.

Allison Stone and Roger were having an

affair.

>> Roger thought it was a state secret, but

Allison and I spent a lot of time

together. She told me things up to a

point, obviously.

>> We thought she was having an affair with

Hamish Grim.

>> Yeah, she was, if you'd call it that.

Using him for sport is probably more

accurate.

Yes, Allison had a repugnant

personality, but uh for certain men she

was catnip. Sex on legs. She turned

[snorts] up here as this 19-year-old

spunk who played a mean game of golf.

And in Curtis Stone, she found a

spiritual match

and also the richest guy around

>> who was 25 years her senior.

>> Oh, age was never an issue for Allison

or for him. And they spent many heavy

years together rooting anyone who took

their fancy. Curtis died. Allison

carried on

>> with Roger Harrington

>> among others.

Allison told me she ended it when he

started talking about leaving his wife

for her. But uh clearly not.

>> Why clearly not?

>> Because he drove off after her. Just

like old [music] times when they used to

lock horns at committee meetings. Then

he'd follow her home and well lock

horns. And what about you? Was she

catnip to you?

>> I'm the wrong kind of cat. [music]

That Curtis stood more of a chance with

me.

Okay, I am never going to look at golf

the same way again.

>> H mind you, money and sex are involved.

Much clearer reasons for killing someone

than golf is.

>> There is that.

>> [music]

[music]

>> You know how Roger Harrington was angry

about Nikki Stone's abuse of social

media?

>> Uh-huh.

>> He's still angry.

>> And how do we know this?

>> We're visitors.

>> My niece has been through enough without

this man assaulting her on the street.

>> Okay. When you say assaulted, what do

you actually mean?

>> I mean he assaulted Nikki and me on the

street.

>> Hey.

>> Oh jeez. Kyle's dad.

>> I know your game. I know what you're up

to.

>> Hey, leave her alone.

>> Sing is trying to frame my son for

murder. Tweeting that stuff all over the

place.

>> I'm trying to get a message to Kyle. You

idiot. I'm trying to make sure he's

safe.

>> Everyone knows it was you.

>> Shut up. I I didn't do any.

>> Just leave alone. Okay.

>> They all know you hated her. They all

know that you're the only one who wins

Snowshi's dead.

>> That's not true. None of that is true.

>> So, where was the actual assault?

>> He was pushing me.

>> Right.

>> We will talk to Mr. Harrington.

>> Make him stop.

>> Stop what? Saying what he's saying. What

if he's speaking the truth? It seems to

be fairly universally acknowledged how

you felt about your mother.

>> Nikki didn't kill my sister.

>> Well, someone did.

>> Kyle wasn't with me that morning.

He wasn't there when I woke up and he'd

only just gotten home with a whole bunch

of food before you shut up.

>> Why did he tell us otherwise?

>> Because I love him.

>> So why change now?

>> Cuz everyone is saying that I killed

mom.

>> So you were there alone?

>> Yes.

>> What were you doing?

>> Sleeping mostly and talking to friends

>> on your phone.

We're going to need that phone.

>> Customer list from all the stockers of

paratheian based products within 100ks.

>> Anything interesting?

>> One name pops out.

>> Doug Randall.

>> And if you believe her phone, Nikki

Stone was tweeting a little heart out

yesterday morning. So little to say, so

many opportunities to say it.

>> Also interesting, who isn't on this

list?

The one property we know for sure who

was using this stuff. The bee killers.

>> The stone farm.

>> More interesting reading for the day.

>> According to the club charter, the

founding document, the land that the

golf course sits on

belongs to the Stone family.

>> Then why was Allison having to buy it

back?

>> Because the Stones, presumably Curtis's

great great something,

gifted the land to form the club.

No wonder they treat the place like

their own bloody playground.

We have farms to visit.

Kristen.

>> Do they fly as true on the course?

>> Very rarely.

>> We knocked.

>> Yeah, I heard.

>> And you decided to ignore us.

>> Well, I'm busy.

>> Busy living the life of the retired

farmer. Farmers never really retire.

They think they have. They give their

money to some other bugger to run the

place for them so they can pretend they

have. Farmers

never really retire.

So you here to arrest me?

>> Should we?

>> Well, it's not up to me, but if you're

not and you get to the point.

>> You ever used anything containing

parathe around here?

Is that what did her in?

>> Do you or have you ever used it?

>> Well, you obviously know I have.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, would

you? Do I have it now? There's your

question.

>> I said no. Did you come back with some

kind of warrant?

>> Definitely.

>> I don't exactly have much choice then,

do I?

>> Why do you think we want to arrest you?

>> Well, it's pretty well known we hated

each other.

>> Enough to want to kill her? easily.

>> You ever stated this out loud?

>> On occasions, usually after a few at the

clubhouse.

>> So, did you kill her?

>> Well, let's put it this way. I admire

who did. Hope they get away with it.

>> Why did you hate her?

>> Because of who she was and everything

she stood for. Is that enough for you?

>> Why did she hate you?

>> Cuz maybe she thought I was a threat.

>> How? That'll be doing your job for you

now, wouldn't it?

>> You don't keep a lot.

>> I used to. I keep losing the bloody key.

>> Mike.

Yeah. Got it. With all due respect,

there must be 50 other bloody farmers

around here use the same stuff.

>> That was recalled in 2008. Well, guess I

never got around to it.

>> You will be charged with [music]

possessing a banned chemical substance.

>> You see, I told you you were here to

arrest me.

>> Who was the better player? You or him?

Me or who?

You and Curtis Stone?

He was.

What was that about?

>> Life, golf, everything. [music]

[singing and music]

>> Do we have any [music] choice in the

matter?

>> Okay. You seem to be misunderstanding

the fundamental nature of our

relationship. We are on the same side.

We want the same thing to find out who

killed your sister.

>> Well, you won't find them here. as that

may be. But there are two things here

that we need to help us along the path

that we both want.

>> What are they?

>> The farmer accounts all neatly boxed up

in the office. I've seen them. We just

need to go through them.

>> Fine, whatever.

>> Thank you.

>> And the other thing,

>> the chemical that killed Allison is an

insecticide called Parathatheion. It

requires some pretty specialized gear

when applying it. Do you have anything

like that on your property?

>> Yeah, but I don't know how to use any of

it.

>> We're not saying you do.

>> We just want to take a look at it. Each

[singing] time [music] you say

>> I think it's one of these.

>> Doesn't matter. Lock's broken.

>> This is definitely where all the gas

masks and sprayers and stuff used to be

stored.

>> No. Partheon.

>> When was the last time you know for sure

that the stuff was in here?

>> A couple of weeks. It was the last time

Kyle and I saw douchebag do any actual

work around here.

>> Douchebag.

>> Hey, Mish Grim. Mom had him spraying gor

down the back of the farm and well, we

were laughing about how mental he looked

in all that gear and um how pissed off

he was about it.

seem to hurt.

>> You play?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, used to actually handicap

>> severe.

>> Actually, it was mini golf with my dad

school holidays. But, uh, this case has

got the old juices flowing. Might step

up to the real thing.

>> Kristen, you can

>> pass with what I've learned so far. Golf

is about bondage, cougars, and swinging.

[music]

>> Uh, what's not to like?

Maybe the bit where Allison Stone's face

blistered off and she suffocated in her

own blood.

>> Yeah, my stick to mini golf. It's got

its own unique yet undeniable sex

appeal.

>> As far as motives go, being emasculated

by Allison isn't bad.

>> People have killed for a lot less.

>> A visit to the Greenskeeper tomorrow.

>> Of course, we only have Nikki's word

that Hamish was using the stuff and it

was there in the first place.

>> True. And just because he was using the

gear, that doesn't directly connect him

to the crime.

>> And she did drop in rather nicely. I

thought that Kyle was there, [music]

too.

>> Everything pointing as far away from her

as possible.

>> Exactly.

>> Any word on Kyle?

>> Uh, report of a breakin, food taken, but

by the time we got there, there was no

sign. Dogs couldn't get a sent.

>> Any word from Kyle's dad? Concerned

about his son?

>> No, actually.

I might pay him a courtesy call on the

way home. Bring him up to date.

>> With what? That we know that he was

having an affair.

>> We'll see how things go.

>> Turtle Pip,

>> just thought you might appreciate an

update.

>> Of course. Thank you. Um, unfortunately,

there's not a lot to tell. Still no sign

of your boy. Um, you haven't heard from

him?

>> No. Uh, excuse me.

Is your wife back?

>> Tomorrow night.

Does she travel often?

>> She's a travel agent. Part of her job is

to uh go to the places she sends people.

>> You don't go with her?

>> Sometimes. Not this time.

>> Does she play?

>> No.

Sorry. Does any of this have anything to

do with Kyle?

>> Does he know about the affair?

>> What affair?

>> You and Allison.

>> Sorry. She may have been universally

despised, but damn, she knew how to reel

in the men folk.

>> I have no idea what you're talking

about.

>> Yeah, you do. And I have her phone

records. And the two of you did a lot of

talking. I bet these bursts of

communication match up nicely with when

your wife was away.

>> We were talking committee business.

>> And she told someone you were having an

affair.

>> Neil,

>> I'll take that as a yes to the affair.

Then chai.

>> You can do what you like. Whatever we

had ended ages ago.

>> When she dumped you for the gardener

because you became too clingy for her

liking.

>> Does this mean you think that I killed

her?

>> It means you kept a secret from me.

>> That's the whole thing with affairs.

>> True.

>> And if she was so keen to share with

Neil, why did she not share her plans to

scupper their property deal? You know,

that cost him a lot of money. Money he

doesn't have.

>> Yeah, she was a class act all around.

Hey,

>> she had her moments.

>> Nice chat. Thanks. My heart

is

beep beating [singing] inside my chest

until I get you. I won't get no rest.

No matter [singing and music] what you

say or do. What kind of hell you going

through? I'm [singing] going to walk

>> back to your arm.

Hey, you're going to talk

me.

[singing]

I'm going

>> back [music] to your [singing] arms.

>> [music]

>> You got me locked up tight in these arms

of sin. Why do I love the trouble that

you get me in [music] a silver tongue?

[singing]

But every time I try to stop myself, I

just can't go. I'm going to walk

[singing]

[music]

>> almost hit me.

>> Yeah, almost.

>> My bad.

>> I bet him 10 bucks he could scan you. I

thought scing people was frowned on in

golf.

>> Only other golfers.

>> You're out for a stroll or something.

>> Yeah, something like that.

>> Well, you better be careful. Dangerous

thing to do around here.

>> So, I'm learning. A good walk spoiled.

Isn't that what they say about golf?

Somebody might have said it. Yes.

>> No Roger and Neil today. It's Wednesday.

Us retired folks can play anytime we

like.

>> True.

>> Nice drive. You still got it?

>> Yeah, sometimes.

>> They uh must have been good years. You

and Curtis, your best mate, battling her

out to be top dog at the club.

>> Yeah, they were.

>> But then he got the girl when you

didn't, and all that ended.

>> I presume you're referring to Allison.

wasn't like that. I knew what she was on

about the moment she showed up. Curtis,

well, disagree.

>> So, she cost you your friendship.

I've been trolling through the club

records. When Allison fired the last

club manager, you proposed Janet Grim

for the job and fought for her over

Ellison's objections. Same deal with

Hamish Grim in the Greenkeepers job,

even though he was so not qualified.

>> Helping her, teaching him. Something

wrong with that?

>> Very fatherly.

>> Not at all. I just believe some people

deserve a break. That's all. And other

people just get what they deserve. Eh,

>> you guys voted against the sale of the

course.

>> Take a look around you, mate. Look at

all this. Imagine what it'll be like

with 50 lifestyle blocks. Refugees from

the city gawking in us.

Of course, we voted against it.

>> Enjoy your round, gents.

Stop walking [singing]

[music]

walk back to his arms. I'm going to walk

[music]

>> back to your arms.

>> Yeah. I'm going

>> back to your arms.

>> [music]

>> back to your arms.

>> Hey,

>> hope I didn't wake you.

>> No, in fact, I was just about to call

you.

>> I got in first. Hey, can you get the

forensic guys to where I am?

>> Is it urgent?

>> Only in terms of solving the murder.

>> No, I mean they're a little bit busy at

the moment.

>> Why?

>> We found the murder weapon.

>> Did you now? Whereabouts are you then?

A bunch of cyclists out for their

morning ride saw something in the

[music] cold bit. One of them has a

cousin who was one of our guys. He was

talking about it at a barbecue last

night, so they called it in.

>> On the one hand, good. On the other

hand, I like the idiot that blabbed.

>> Already done. They want to know if they

can go now.

>> Statements taken.

>> Nothing to take. They saw. They called

it in. And now they're a bit snotty that

their ride has been interrupted. Huh?

Cyclist worse than bloody golfers.

>> Yeah, they can pet off.

>> Tom,

>> what are they doing here?

>> Oh, yeah. Guess who lives three houses

along?

>> They never did come in to give their

statements, did they?

>> Nope.

>> Do you want me to?

>> Oh, no. This one's all mine.

>> Thank you for agreeing to see me.

>> That stuff down the road doesn't have

anything to do with us. I'm not here to

talk about that. I'm here to understand

the game of golf. You both play, right?

>> Did

>> the big board on the wall says you're

both very good.

>> Round of golf takes hours, Detective

Shepherd.

There are more pleasant ways to pass the

time.

>> Especially if you're spending those

hours playing against someone you

despise.

>> Can put you off?

>> Yeah. When Doug got you the job at the

club, you went back.

>> At least Stone was never one for the

clubhouse. Of course, in the bedroom

were her domain. Also, I needed the

money

>> after she fired you as far manager.

>> A female farm manager. Unusual.

>> Started off as a farm hand, went on the

job

>> from Curtis Stone.

Why did you give up?

>> I just kind of didn't want to play

anymore.

>> According to the club records, you asked

to leave. Is that right?

>> Yeah, sort of.

>> You punched someone during match play.

>> Yeah,

>> Doug Randall.

>> He was cheating. I called him on it. He

denied it and started in on me. So, I

smacked him.

>> Not very golf.

>> He's just cheating.

>> Yet, it was Doug who got you the job at

the club, right?

>> Yeah.

We get on better now.

>> You still lose your temper sometimes.

>> What's all this got to do with Allison's

death?

It's a

tapestry thing.

Excuse me.

I have to get this. Sorry,

>> Kristen. I'm still with Janet in the

Hamish crew. Is it urgent?

>> We found Kyle Harrington. Uh,

>> apologies. We'll um finish this later.

>> We haven't got anything more to say.

>> Really?

Cuz I've got lots [music] of questions.

Starting with, "Does Hamish know that

Doug's his father?"

>> He's not.

>> Then why is Doug your night and shining

armor?

>> Because sometimes there are good people.

>> He's Curtis [music] Stone son, isn't he?

>> Did Ellison know? Is that why she fired

you?

>> Did she know? Cuz knowingly taking your

dead husband's [music] son as a lover is

really very

>> creepy.

>> Yeah, she knew.

You must have hated her so much.

>> Next time we talk, you better come with

an arrest warrant.

>> Farmer came in and found him stealing

food. Kyle took him with a machete.

>> Farmer, get out. Okay.

>> Yeah, he's pretty shaken up, but he's

still in one piece.

Harrington's still in there. [music]

>> Yeah, place is surrounded.

>> There are guns in the house.

>> Please tell me they're locked in a gun

safe.

>> Unfortunately, [music]

the farmer is renovating. He can't quite

remember if they're still locked up.

>> Righty home.

>> What are you doing?

>> Breaching protocol.

>> Wait and appeal. Mike, there's a lot of

sense to that protocol.

>> Yeah,

that would involve waiting.

Kyle,

you in there?

I'm Mike Shepard. I'm a police officer.

One of the nice ones, I'd like to think.

Can you hear me,

Carl? I need you to open the door and

let me in. Just me. No one else before

the guys with the highowered rifles get

involved.

Neither of us want that, eh?

Kyle,

no one's going to shoot you while I'm

here. The the paperwork would be

horrendous. And I don't have a gun cuz I

can't shoot to save myself. All I want

to do is talk. I didn't kill her.

>> Okay,

good to know.

Cuz that would make [music] it even more

stupid.

And getting shot over a few bucks, few

bottles of booze, and some lousy

trophies, wouldn't it?

>> Good.

Coming in now. Okay.

No tricks. No tricks.

Don't try anything stupid.

>> You okay?

>> What do you think?

>> Yeah, probably been better.

Any chance we can sit down and talk?

I didn't kill her.

>> So you said.

>> Yeah, but you think I did.

>> Why?

>> What do you mean why? You're the one

with the army outside waiting to waste

me for it.

>> No, I mean why do you, Kyle, think that

we think that you did it?

>> Because she hated me.

Everyone knows that. And I hated her. We

were always fighting. She was always

trying to break us up.

You and Nikki?

>> Yeah. Uh,

>> when did the path of young love ever run

smooth, eh?

>> I don't know.

>> Never mind.

Not really important, is it?

>> She is to me, Nikki. I love her.

>> Yeah,

I guess you do.

Is that why you became the Clubhouse

Bandit?

>> Not one of the great criminal names, by

the way. Look,

>> I didn't choose it.

I only did it cuz we needed the money

and stuff so she wouldn't have to go

back and live with her mom.

>> Yeah.

>> And ripping off your father's club is

kind of like giving him the big middle

finger, right?

>> Did you ever break into that green

keeper shed?

>> Once.

Nothing in there worth stealing. Nothing

I could fogg off easy enough.

>> So you weren't anywhere near that shed

when Ellison Stone was killed?

>> Oh, no. I wasn't even out of bed.

>> Really?

>> Yeah. I was with Nikki. Ask her.

>> I have.

>> And what did she say?

>> That you were with her.

>> See?

>> Then she changed her story. Then she

told us that you weren't anywhere to be

seen when she woke up. That you didn't

come back to the house until just before

Detective Sims showed up.

>> She never said that.

>> Yeah, she did, Kyle.

Right after it was pointed out to her

that with her mother dead, she inherits

the farm, which is about the best motive

I've got so far for this murder.

>> Well, Nikki wouldn't kill anyone. She

couldn't.

>> How would you know? You weren't with her

that morning. She could have been out

doing whatever she damn well liked, like

inheriting a farm. Or did she get you to

do it for her, Kyle? Solve a few

problems with the

>> I told you I didn't kill her.

>> No, Allison. The two of you with your

own farm. Brilliant result.

>> That's total crap.

>> Listen to me, Kyle. Nikki says you

weren't with her, which means she has no

alibi. Like, you have no alibi. Couldn't

the two of you have cooked up a decent

alibi between you? Do you see where this

is going? Do you see how easy it would

be to construct a case that would send

the two of you to prison for the next 15

years? You need to [music] start telling

me the truth, Kyle. Where were you that

morning?

You weren't with Nikki, were you?

>> No.

Good man. So, tell me where you actually

were.

>> Okay, everybody.

We're coming out.

Everybody lower your guns.

Kyle is unarmed and he's giving himself

up.

You did the right thing, Kyle. I'll make

sure everyone knows it. All right.

>> Okay. Let's go.

>> Where? [music] To better understand the

inner workings of golf brokenwood style,

>> you have to get it to the hole for it to

have a chance.

>> Know a little bit about golf, do you?

>> Me? Nah, just stands to reason. I went

to your store. They said you're out

here.

>> I like to get out when I can.

And with your uh Wednesday game so

rudely interrupted,

>> I hardly think a game curtailed matters

compared with Allison's death.

>> True.

>> I'd have given you that.

>> I don't believe in gimmies.

Even when you're playing on your own,

the hole's not finished until the ball

is in the hole.

How can I help you, detective?

>> First things first, we've uh arrested

your son,

>> which is better than shooting him, which

was the popular alternative.

>> Yes, of course. How is he?

>> He knows he'll be facing some pretty

serious charges. Burglary, home

invasion, assault,

>> and murder.

>> No,

it was her then.

>> Nikki.

>> Yes. Uh, Nikki Stone is way too messed

up to murder a mother without actually

getting caught with the axe in her hand.

No, as it turns out, I was right. Kyle

was very much the sacrificial lamb in

the story. Nothing shocking in that.

There's often a sacrifice involved.

>> You must think I'm a terrible father.

>> Playing golf while my son is the subject

of a manhunt.

>> We all need places to get away from

things.

Something like that.

Carry on. Carl's not going anywhere for

ages. I've got a few questions to ask.

You can talk while you play.

>> Nice shot.

Thank you.

>> So, what did you want to ask me?

>> When did you find out?

>> Find out what?

>> Allison's plans for the course for this

land.

>> When she and Neil tabled their proposal

to buy the course.

>> Half the course. Yes.

>> Oh, not that plan. Her true plans.

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

>> See, I'm picking you all along. And

that's why you voted to accept the deal

to have the course. I mean, nine holes

twice is better than no holes at all.

Right.

>> I voted the way I did for pragmatic

reasons to save the club.

>> See, I don't think you're a pragmatist,

Roger.

I think you're an idealist who believes

passionately in the great and honorable

game of golf.

You love the game in this club so much

that you've actually read and understood

the club charter, the founding document.

I know you've read it. Doug and Walter

haven't read it.

Neil should have read it, but he didn't.

I've read it because that's my job.

And we both know that Allison has

certainly read it cuz I've got her copy.

I would have loved to have been a fly on

the wall when she read the bit that says

the club becomes insolvent and therefore

ceases to exist. Then the land that the

Stone family so generously gave to found

the club reverts to them to her. In that

moment, she realized she didn't have to

buy half the club, that she could get

the whole thing for free.

But you knew that and you kept it to

yourself, hoping she wouldn't notice.

But when she changed her vote, you knew

exactly why. And so you confronted her

in the car park afterwards.

>> Elsa, please. Please don't do this.

>> What? Take back the land that rightfully

belongs to me.

>> Kill this club.

>> This club is failing. It's inevitable.

It will go under, Roger, whether you cut

it in half or not. Move on. Get over

yourself.

>> That is ridiculous. [music]

But I know exactly how you did it and

how you tried to make it look like

everyone except you. You said you

arrived at the club at just before 8,

right?

>> Which I did.

>> Which you did, but the first time you

arrived was significantly earlier at

6:30. You knew Neil was there, but he

was sleeping off a bender on the couch

in the office, so it was relatively

risk-free when you went in to use the

phone.

>> Why would I want to do that? To call

Allison.

>> So now you have me calling Allison. at

6:30 in the morning.

>> At 6:31 to be precise to tell her about

the breakin.

>> Hello,

>> it's Roger. The club's been hit again.

>> Oh, what?

>> The small shed. The trash place.

>> Oh, for God's sake.

>> I'll meet you there.

>> Of course. I'll see you soon.

>> Of course, you knew exactly where

Allison would be at that point in time

and therefore how long it would take her

to get there. But you had to get there

first. You'd walked it out a few times,

so you knew in basic terms how long you

had till Allison got to the shed. You'd

been thinking about it for a while. You

waited to see if she'd find the handback

clause in the 100-year-old document.

Long enough for you to decide how you

would deal with the problem if she did.

And sadly, she did find it.

I guess in a way being in that suit with

that mask on made it easier.

>> Like you could pretend that it was this

event happening [music] outside of you.

So you've done the thing. Time to get

away with it. First up, get out of the

gear

and stash it in the boot.

Hell of a thing to have done. So, you

took a moment.

After all, you had a little time to

kill. Couldn't get back to the clubhouse

too early. After that, it's simply a

case of driving a few hundred meters or

so to the car park to make the appointed

tea off time with minutes to spare.

Do you know what irks me most about

this?

>> That you're completely barking up the

wrong tree?

>> No. that while my guys were doing their

job, the murder weapon was in the boot

of your car and you drove out of here

with it.

>> Because you shared her bed, you knew

exactly where Allison would be at 6:30

in the morning

>> because we had an affair. Everyone knew

she walked.

>> And you knew the Stones had Partheon and

all the other associated equipment in

their shed on the farm because you sold

it to them.

>> I don't remember the name Stone on the

list I gave you.

>> Because you deleted it from your sales

records.

Allison Stone, however, was as

meticulous in her finances as she was in

every other aspect of her life.

>> Mike, I found it. July 2007, [music] 20

L of Parablast, active ingredient,

Paratheon.

>> Do you want to do the honorable thing

and confess now, or should I continue?

>> And why would I do that? I haven't heard

one thing linking me to the actual crime

yet.

>> You mean like good hard physical

evidence? like the tire tracks you left

when you got back to your car and drove

back to the club

or like the chemical traces of paratheon

that will undoubtedly be in the boot of

your car. Your car which is as we

[music] speak being most thoroughly

investigated given that it's been out of

circulation for the last 6 years. Any

trace of it in your car is going to look

very suspicious.

Think about it. Roger. Were you as

careful putting the stuff in the boot

the night before

when you followed Allison home

to get what you needed to do the job?

Do you want to do the honorable thing

and confess now?

>> Not the slightest.

>> You're not an honorable man.

>> I am a very honorable man.

>> I know you are.

>> That's why you killed her. I wasn't

aware that people killed for honor these

days.

>> Maybe honor is too strong a word. You

find out the woman who toyed with you,

who who dumped you because you got too

close, was going to take away the last

thing in your life that gave it any

meaning.

>> You can talk all you want, detective.

You still don't have anything real.

>> You mean like the actual murder weapon

with all the associated apparatus?

>> The starters. I'm sure you've disposed

of that very well.

All we have is the bogus version.

Handily discovered near the home of

Ellison's toy boy lover, the

Greenskeeper.

Come on, Roger. Even Hamish Grim isn't

stupid enough to dump the evidence just

down the road from where he lives.

>> You still have nothing.

>> I have a witness.

>> Rubbish. What time did you get to the

course, Roger? I told you just before 8.

>> Then why were you seen leaving your

place at just after 6:00 a.m.?

>> Nobody saw me leaving.

>> Oh, but they did. So tell me where you

actually were.

>> I was at my place. My dad's place. We

ran out of food, so I was going to sneak

in and grab some. [music]

>> Was your father there when you got

there?

>> Yeah, sort of.

>> What do you mean sort of? Well, I got

there real early cuz I was so damn

hungry and I was going to sneak in and

grab the stuff before he got up. But

when I arrived, he was already awake.

>> When you say real early,

>> 6:00 a.m.

>> You sure about that?

>> Yeah, cuz I was thinking it was so weird

dad being up so early. And when I got

inside, the clock in the kitchen said it

was 5 6.

Is this important?

>> Yes, Kyle, it is.

>> Does this mean dad killed Allison Stone?

And we know Kyle is telling the truth

because you yourself confirmed it.

>> Do you know where Kyle is?

>> There was some food taken from my

kitchen this morning when I got home

from the course. I presume that is him.

But no, I haven't seen him.

>> Allison Stone died an excruciating

horrible death. But perhaps what is even

worse is that you were willing to let

your own son be the sacrificial [music]

lamb.

>> That's not true. If Kyle had done

something stupid like take on armed

police with a machete and we' gunned

[music] him down, then you most likely

would have got away with it scot-free.

That is really hard to [music] stomach.

Kind of like Paratha.

Come on, Roger. Do the honorable thing.

>> Why do you keep going on about honor?

>> Because isn't that what the royal and

ancient game of golf was all about? You

don't understand the game, so you

wouldn't understand

>> why you did what you did.

>> How about a little wager?

Because you're right about one thing.

I don't understand [music] golf.

despite it costing me a marriage cuz I

used the game to avoid her.

What do you say, Roger? I hit it closer

to the pin than you. Then you do the

honorable thing and confess.

I'll take that as a yes.

>> [music]

>> Oh [ __ ] Jesus. What did you

Oh,

>> you know that wouldn't have happened if

we just taken him down to the station,

right?

>> Yeah. Where's the fun in that

stupid game?

>> True meaning of golf, huh?

I'm the ghost of this town.

I'm the ghost of this town.

I say things I don't mean to people I

don't know. I'm the ghost

of this town.

>> [music]

>> And I know I'm not fooling no one.

>> So I guess

to your wedding, bro.

>> Sweet. Cheers.

>> Yeah, you're doing well, man. She's a

real puke.

>> Oh, Kelly.

>> Oh, the cluser.

>> Both, man. Both.

>> Sure is a sweet piece though, bro. Hell

of an early wedding present.

>> So nice to have a chance to get a shot

in. Kelly or the clues?

>> Just pull the tequila frozen

and Kelly. The stag may have found his

hind, but the hunt should never end.

[laughter]

Jeez, he's up on the poetry fros

>> to Hayden and Kels. One shot.

>> One shot.

[sighs]

>> Well,

it's about 3 hours till dark.

Let's go get us a kill.

>> [music]

>> Some people get rich. Some people get

mad. [music]

Some people want the things that they

ain't going to have. Some people get

lonely. Some people get high. Some

people hear something in the wind.

What happened?

>> [music]

>> I'm really hoping you didn't bring me

here for some recreational hiking. Well,

first I thought it was just another

hunting tragedy. You know, [music] mate

shoots mate. But then it looks like a

suicide.

Okay. And then again, could be an

accident. So, an accidental suicide oral

homicide. Keeping an open mind.

>> Have a look for yourself.

swe

[singing]

[music]

55. Nice.

>> Didn't know you were a gun expert.

>> My boyfriend had one.

>> Had

>> probably still does. He's not my

boyfriend anymore.

>> Sorry to hear that.

>> Not as sorry as he was.

>> You kept that quiet.

>> I don't go in for splitting up via

Facebook.

>> Okay. That was my ex. She put it on

Facebook, not me. [music]

>> I think it's weird.

>> And I think we should stick to the

matter at hand, which is Mr. Rena,

Hayden Rena, groomed to be. He was

getting married next weekend. This was a

stag party.

>> Ironic.

>> Where'd you say this hut was?

>> Down that track to the left. [music] The

best man and groomsman with Anderson.

Both rifles are secured. Go for a hike.

Did

>> you have your usual chat with the

deceased?

>> He didn't [music] have anything to say.

>> Oh, right.

>> I bet his friends do, though.

>> I'll take Oats.

>> Hi, Frankie.

>> Frodo. Everyone calls me Frodo.

>> Froto, right? Um, I'm Detective Sims.

>> You look cold. Do you want to come

inside? We'll get your details.

>> Sten DSS Shepherd. It's a tough day

losing a friend. My best mate's lying

out there. I need to take him home.

>> We'll see to that. I know this is

awkward stent, but I need to ask you,

did you discharge your gun?

>> Yeah, I [snorts] did.

>> How many times?

>> Just once. We only had one cartridge

each. I was up on Walker's Ridge.

>> One? Why would you only have one?

>> It's a thing we do. Give ourselves one

shot. Make it count.

>> Bag that for me, Anderson.

Were

you booze?

>> No way. Just one shot to get us on our

way.

>> Were you the only one that fired?

>> We all did.

>> So, you, Frankie, and Hayden all

discharge a rifle.

>> Look, I didn't shoot Hayden. I know if I

did.

>> No one's saying anyone shot anyone.

First glance, it looks like Hayden had

the misfortune to shoot himself. And

perhaps he tripped and fell. Or perhaps

he like,

>> Quick word.

>> Excuse me, Sten.

I'm not getting anything out of him.

>> Uncooperative.

>> Could be fear or shock. I don't know.

But he shut down.

>> Good day, Fredo. Should we take this

back into town? It's getting a bit cold.

>> Do you say anything?

He admitted to firing his rifle and that

he was the one that found Hayden. Then

he clammed up.

>> How are we with the next of Ken?

>> Hayden's fiance's been informed. She's a

mess understandably. We won't get any

sense out of her until tomorrow. And his

parents moved to Perth, although they're

currently on an overseas trip safari in

Tanzania or somewhere. I've informed

into pot

>> Friday.

Seriously, [sighs]

warmed up a bit.

We uh need to get a picture of what went

on out there. Can you help us with that,

Freddy?

>> Kristen tells me you fired your gun.

What were you aiming at?

>> A deer.

Are you sure of what you saw?

>> Where's St.

>> St's at his house?

>> Has he already talked?

>> Yes.

>> What did he say?

>> He just told us what happened.

>> Are you sure of what you saw, Fredo?

>> Yeah. Yeah, I said I was. I'm usually

the last to get one, so I was pretty

stoked to see it.

So you had it in your sights?

>> Yeah.

Another shot freaked to my dear.

>> I reckon it was then

fired. Anyway,

>> which way were you shooting? East. West.

>> West, I guess.

>> Into the sun.

>> I know what I saw. I saw movement. I

thought maybe I'd winged it. So, I

headed that way. That's when I saw

Hayden.

>> No, no, no, no. St.

St.

>> St.

>> How long did it take Sting to get there?

>> I don't know. It seemed like forever.

>> Did you try to help Hayden?

>> He was dead. Anyone could see that.

>> What were you feeling while you waited

for St?

>> I thought I might have killed my mate

that I shot him dead.

>> That's what you thought. But what were

you feeling? in your gut that you'd done

it.

>> I don't know. I [clears throat] was so

jacked up on like adrenaline, you know.

>> What did Sten say when he got there?

>> Oh, Christ. Roads. What the hell?

>> I don't know, man. I swear I don't know

what happened. Did you do it?

>> Me? You fired too, didn't you?

>> Better we don't talk about this. You got

that roads. Then

>> there's no point talking about something

you don't know, right?

>> Why [music] do you say that?

>> Because he thinks I shot Hayden.

>> And did you?

>> I don't know. But you could have.

>> We need to get Sten Baker in here as

soon as possible.

>> Yeah.

>> Thanks for coming, Instin.

>> Where's Froto?

>> Uh Froto's gone home. He's pretty

[music] rattled. He told you what

happened?

>> Yeah.

>> What did he say?

>> Just what happened?

>> And what was that?

>> I found this map of the rangers where

you were.

Cutters Gully.

Uh, this is where the hut is. This is

where we found Hayden. And, uh, this is

Walker's Ridge where you say you were.

>> Yep.

>> Can you be more specific?

around here. There's a boulder that

gives you a bit of a vantage point down

this area.

>> Is that where you fired from?

>> Yeah.

>> So, if we went up to this boulder, we'd

find your spent cartridge from your one

shot.

>> No,

because

it's here.

Hayden always insisted we leave nothing

behind. He was a bit of a greeny like

that.

Well, I guess that saves me a bit of a

hike.

Okay, that's all. Thanks again for

coming in. That's it. Yeah, it's late.

Get some sleep.

Oh, I nearly forgot. Frodo mentioned

that you said better we don't talk about

this. What do you mean by that,

Sten? What was that about?

>> Froto shoot him? I don't know. Do you?

He's always been a careless bastard.

Careless.

You know how he got that limp? He shot

himself in the foot when he was mcking

around.

>> When was this?

>> 5 years ago. It took Hayden a long time

to let him back onto the hunts after

that. To trust him not to [ __ ] things

up. And now look.

>> Best we don't jump to conclusions.

>> I bet you already have.

>> We can't rule out suicide yet.

>> A fat chance. Hayden was about to get

married

>> to Kelly McKenzie, right?

>> Yeah.

>> And he was happy about that.

>> Yeah. She's a beautiful chick. What

would make him want to blow his head

off?

>> Well, if that's what happened, I plan to

find out.

No.

>> Hey,

Sister Cash. What was it [music] like?

Morning.

[music]

>> I'll come back later, shall I?

>> May not be here later.

>> Then again, I probably will be. This is

almost impossible.

>> Good. Because we agreed to visit Kelly

McKenzie.

>> Of course.

>> Brien,

can you try and shoot yourself in the

head with this?

>> Certainly, boss.

Is this because I won Friday fives three

weeks in a row? Yes. And because I say

you have a similar reach to Hey Marina.

>> You said you wanted to come.

>> I did. It's not easy, is it?

>> Yeah. Maybe if I was in a rangutan.

>> Well, you got the right colored hair.

>> Wa. That is workplace harassment. Just

rule out suicide.

>> Not yet.

Three blo, three guns, three bullets,

three shots. Fingerprints. We matched

Froto and Stence off their rifles. Their

prints and Hayden's obviously are on the

clues now. There are a couple of others

we haven't matched yet.

>> Okay.

>> Shall we?

[clears throat]

>> She

>> Mike, I'm ready.

>> I thought we were scheduled for 11:00

a.m.

>> I have a busy day. Car accident victim

and the hospital had a busy night, too.

>> Okay, I'll um be there in 10:00.

>> Cool.

>> Sorry, the PM's ready to go.

>> You made her ring up, didn't you? No, I

swear.

>> Fine. Leave me to the emotionally

ravaged while you play ballistics with

Gina.

>> I would if I could, but I can't.

>> Hi,

>> I'll buy you a pie.

>> I skip breakfast.

>> A [music] pie before a postmortem.

>> You're right. Maybe just a sausage roll.

>> Okay, good luck with that.

>> St. [music]

Nice flowers.

>> Yeah, they're for cows.

>> Cows.

>> Kelly McKenzie Hayden's [music] Field.

Yeah. Well, I'm sure they'll be

appreciated. See you around.

>> I uh

I shouldn't have said what I did last

night about Freuds. He I guess I was

just jacked up from the whole thing.

>> You worried you said what? just about

him being useless and that he's he's

been pretty good lately.

>> Okay.

>> I was just a bit pissed off with him cuz

I cuz I caught a whiff of cigarette

smoke up there

>> on the hunt.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Froto's always saying how

he's given up. But then he goes and

smokes up wind of a deer. No wonder he

missed, right?

>> But the breeze was a norwesterly.

>> Yeah. If Froto was up wind of his deer,

he would have been shooting east towards

you. But he said he was aiming west.

>> Look, I'm just telling you what I know.

I smell the smoke. It's like I said,

careless. I better get these kills.

Give me cheese rolls.

Hi, I'm Detective [music] Kristen Sims.

I'm Pam, Kelly's mother. Come in.

Thanks.

Kelly's out in the garden.

We're all absolutely devastated. Hayden

was such a lovely boy. How much tragedy

does one girl deserve?

>> I'll leave you two alone. Would you like

a cup of tea? No, thank you.

>> Cause of death, gunshot wound to the

head.

>> Correct. Soft point bullet or jacketed

hollow point fire from a 308 from a

distance of maybe 50 m.

>> And you haven't even started yet.

>> I'm from Vladivasto. I know about

gunshot wounds.

>> Common are they?

>> A man gets up, he walks to work, a car

pulls up, takes him into the forest. He

didn't pay his dues. He gets shot. His

dues are paid. Happens every day. Like

the sun comes up, the sun goes down.

>> Do you miss Russia?

>> I live in Brokenwood now.

>> 50 m.

>> More or less.

>> So, he didn't shoot himself.

>> If it was closer, the exit wound would

be even worse. Of course, we can't know

exactly until the ESR team can match the

bullet to the gun, which can't happen

until

>> until we find the bullet. I know the SSG

are up there now.

>> So, you and Hayden were together for

about 4 years

>> and marriage was the next step.

>> Seemed like the right thing to do, you

know.

Stink called.

He said maybe

Hayden took his own life.

Sten shouldn't have said that.

>> Why?

>> Because we don't know yet if that's

true.

>> Well, he either did or he didn't.

>> It's not that simple.

>> Why would he do that when we were just

about to get married?

>> We're doing everything we can to work

out exactly what happened. I promise.

>> Can you think of any disagreements

either Froto or Stent may have had with

Hayden?

>> No. I mean, he was just a plumber for

Christ's sake. a nice guy.

Yesterday afternoon, you were at work or

on leave

to get ready for the

wedding.

>> Sorry, I just need to know where you

were.

>> Um, I was here. Me and mom were doing

dress fittings all day.

One more thing. Your mother mentioned

earlier that how much tragedy can one

girl take? She means the car accident.

5 years ago, my best friend Marci,

Hayden, and me were heading back from

the beach.

>> [screaming]

>> Marci didn't make it.

We tried to get her out, but she was

jammed in there.

Sorry.

It's how we got together.

>> You and Hayden,

>> we both went to counseling and it helped

out of all that sadness.

We found happiness

and now it's gone.

It's just like it was never there.

I'm sure it was.

I'll be in touch when we find out

anymore. Kelly, look at these. St left

them. He wouldn't come in. They look

terrible. Poor thing.

Pam, the car crash Kelly was in, was

Hayden charged over it?

>> No, it was an accident.

I see. Of course, Hayden blamed himself

for a long time, but the counseling

helped.

>> Yeah, Kelly said

>> some people felt it was insensitive.

As I always told her, some things are

hard to ignore, like attraction.

Marci, she was a darling.

>> Kelly was a small war shooter.

>> National champion for her age three

years in a row.

Did she hunt as well?

>> Not so much lately. It's been more of a

boy's thing. Pam, you were here

yesterday with Kelly. Yes. Dress fitting

all day. Yes.

Except between 2 and 6. I had to take

your dad to the specialist over in

Riverstone.

Barry has prostate issues. Kelly said

you were here all day.

>> And we were. Apart from then.

She forgets things. Ever since the

accident, there was a knock to the head.

That's all right.

Thank you.

[music]

Lying on my back

outside of the barracks,

reading the horoscope.

[music and singing]

Dreaming of previous lives.

I might went down today.

Couldn't grab nothing along the way.

[singing]

Always.

And all those [music] things.

All those [music] things

that don't change.

All those things.

All those things

that don't change. [music and singing]

All those things

that don't change.

All those things.

All those things

that don't change.

So, did you join the local tramping

club?

>> No, but it was nice out there. In the

meantime,

>> Kelly McKenzie is a crack shop.

>> The fiance,

>> small ball champion, no less.

>> Keep talking.

>> Almost made the Commonwealth Games team

in her early 20ies. Then she took a

knock to the head in a car accident

which killed her best friend. She lost

her competitive edge, but retained an

interest in shooting since. It was her

and Hayden's common ground.

>> But wait, there's more. Her alibi for

the afternoon of the killing is about as

flimsy as the wedding dress she was or

wasn't trying on.

>> So

you think the bride shot the groom?

>> Could have. At the very least, I'm

saying the suspect list should be three.

>> Don't you think Stent and Frodo would

have seen her up there? I mean, a bride

running around the bush in her wedding

dress would get noticed.

>> I never said she was wearing the dress.

It was a fitting.

She was alone from 2 till 6:00 p.m.

Ample time to drive up to Cutter's Gully

and gun them down.

>> Okay, so she's got skill and

opportunity. Motive.

>> She said Hayden was a nice guy. Not a

great guy, but a nice guy. Women in love

about to tie the knot do not marry nice

guys. They marry great guys. Now the

truth may prevail later and their views

get downgraded, but on the eve of their

wedding, their groom is the man. Another

point of interest is she said marriage

seemed like a great idea at the time. I

find that odd.

>> I know the feeling. What seems so right

can turn out so wrong.

>> What is it with you and marriage?

>> Nothing wrong with marriage other than

in my experience it tends to screw up

perfectly good relationships.

So

Hayden Rena is a nice guy, not a great

guy. Therefore, she decides to knock him

off.

>> You can doubt all you want. Call it

women's intuition. I don't care. But

there is something that Kelly McKenzie

is not telling me.

>> There's a hobbit at the front desk.

>> Freder

that will like bring him through for

second breakfast.

>> What hobbits? They like to eat. How does

he not know this?

>> My office. Ta. Huh?

>> Thanks for coming in again, Frankie.

>> Frodo.

>> You prefer Froto?

It's what everyone calls me.

>> We went back into the bush where we

found Hayden. Uh did some calculations

on what you told us and we um we found

this.

>> It's not mine.

>> Sten says he remembers smelling

cigarette smoke on the breeze.

>> I don't smoke for real. Even when I did,

I never touched Denmors. Might as well

smoke tire trade.

>> But you were smoking.

>> Oh jeez. I told you I gave up. So we

wouldn't find your DNA all over this.

>> It was one little puff, man. Maybe two,

just to relax.

>> On top of a beer and a tequila.

Froto, did you have any idea where the

hell you were aiming? And why did you

take off your high viz?

>> I got a sore butt.

>> Brain

DC brain will see you out.

Thanks for coming by.

>> You going to bust me for the roach?

>> Not if you're telling the truth.

>> Morning, boss. Rain. Two weeks ago, the

local gun shop had a burg. A bunch

[music] of stuff was stolen, including

inclusion of 55.

>> You've only just remembered.

>> DC Harris handled it before she

transferred. It was on my follow-up

list. Better late than never.

>> You think the deceased was toing a hot

rifle?

>> It's possible. I'll check it out. I'll

take care of her.

>> But first, you have a visitor.

>> She's come out of her lab.

>> Gina, what a surprise. Uh, you want a

coffee? Christine made me a coffee, but

I think the water from the Vulga will

taste better. No offense. You can have

it.

>> Uh, thanks.

>> The ESR has come back. The rifling on

the bullet matches the deceased gun.

>> Are they sure?

>> Easy match. The rifle was new. The

rifling left very rough, clear markers.

>> So, he did shoot himself, not from 50 m.

>> I didn't say that.

>> You still think it's from long range?

>> Yes.

>> So, he didn't shoot himself. I'm dealing

in facts, Mike. The only fact is he was

shot with his own gun.

>> Good luck with that.

>> Thanks.

>> The armorer has said that the bullet

that killed Hayden Reena came from his

own gun, the Kusner.

>> So, we back to the long arms theory.

>> Maybe not. Gina is adamant he was shot

from around 50 m. really long arms.

H okay. Cut his gummy.

Walker's ridge.

This is where Sten says he was by the

boulder. Although we have no actual

verification. The wind was coming from

the northwest.

This is where Hayden was

and this is where Froto was. We measured

that 59 m. So, it could have been him.

>> Yeah. And Stint swears he smelt

cigarette smoke. Frodo is northwest of

Stent. Even though Froto denies he was

smoking cigarettes, a Denour cigarette

butt was found here.

We measured that 53 m north of Hayden.

>> Kelly smokes Deos. She smokes that

brand. I saw her today.

>> Coincidence?

>> Well, that's not where Froto fired from.

So, was it his?

>> Well, Froto was stoned. He was wandering

aimlessly, communing with the birds in

the trees. In short, he was all over the

bloody place.

>> Not wearing his hyver's vest.

>> Neither was Sten.

>> Why?

>> So they could move around unseen,

working together to take Hayden out.

>> Possible.

>> Why?

>> Well, drugs, debt, I don't know. To be

confirmed.

>> Aren't we forgetting that Hayden was

shot with his own gun?

>> Still possible.

>> What if it was someone else he knew?

>> Kelly? Really? Hey, honey. What are you

doing in the bush in my stag party? Oh,

I just felt like a quick hunt. Do you

mind? Takes his rifle, shoots him in the

head, puts it down by the body, and

walks out.

>> It's possible

>> because he was a nice guy.

>> She smokes 10 moles.

>> Yeah, as do thousands of others. And

Frodo could be lying

>> about a cigarette. He admitted to the

dope.

>> Then who killed Hayden Reena?

>> And why?

[music]

>> We understand you had a breakin a couple

of weeks ago.

>> Yeah. body steel to order job

>> including a clusner 55.

>> Yeah, one of your team came by and took

details. Uh the bastards got the clues,

a couple of Winchesterers, Benelli's, a

Kimber and a Crossman. I was hoping he

had some news so I could finalize

insurance.

>> This isn't strictly about the breakin.

Is

>> this about Hayden Rena?

>> He recently bought a closer review. Is

that right?

>> Hayden didn't buy the clues. Kelly did.

>> Right.

>> You know Kelly well.

>> Sure. She's something of a local hero in

the gun world. Spent a lot of money here

over the years.

>> So, she bought the 55.

>> It was to be an early wedding surprise.

Apparently, it was just what he always

wanted. Ironic, huh?

>> Is it a popular model?

>> Not really, but a great gun. In fact,

Kelly came back and wanted to buy

another. She wanted to do the whole his

and hers thing.

>> She bought two.

>> No, cuz we had the breakin.

>> Right.

>> Um, I'll get Breen to give you a

follow-up ASAP. Sure. Thanks for your

time.

She ordered another closer

>> which I assume she didn't mention.

>> She mentioned very little, it seems. H

>> Kelly, this is Detective Senior Sergeant

Shepherd. Would you like a cup of tea or

something? No, we're fine. Thanks.

Excuse me.

I don't know what more I can tell you.

>> We're trying to piece together a rather

confusing puzzle.

>> You bought Hayden the Plus 55 as a

wedding present. Is that right?

I wish to God I had now.

>> Chris and Judy, they send their best.

Aren't they lovely?

>> Kelly, would you mind showing us your

gun safe? I'm assuming you have one.

>> I can do that. It's okay, Mom. It's in

the garage.

>> Do you have a spare?

>> No.

Hayden always thought that if there was

a break-in, it would be when we were out

so the key wouldn't be here. He was

really safety conscious like that.

>> Photo instead mentioned that

>> where the clus 55 would be.

>> So if you'd got another Clus, you would

have needed another gun safe. Sorry,

Tony at the gun shop said you'd ordered

another 55.

>> Oh

yeah, I've forgotten. [clears throat]

I'm glad it didn't come through. Not

much point now. Kelly, it seems that on

the afternoon Hayden was killed, you

were here for a period on your own while

your mom went over to Riverstone. Yes,

but you told me you were with your mom

the whole day. Yes, except then. So,

were you here in the house? Yes.

>> Um,

actually, I went over to Rory's Rory

Parks. I went to deliver a wedding

invitation.

>> What is your relationship to Rory?

>> He owns the tire shop where Stent and

Frodo work. Is he a friend?

>> You could say that.

>> What would you say?

>> He was Marcy's brother.

>> Marci was Kelly's friend who was killed

in a car accident. He took it hard. I

thought if he came to the wedding, it

might be a positive way to show him that

life has to go on. And was Rory pleased

to be invited?

>> I don't know.

>> What did he say?

>> He wasn't there. I left the invitation

on the doorstep.

Thanks, Kelly. We'll let you get on with

your day.

Have you had any more information

about Have you ruled out suicide?

I really need to know.

>> We're waiting on more forensic tests.

We'll know some more soon. Thanks for

your time.

>> So, why didn't you let her off the hook

about the suicide option?

>> Because I agree with you.

>> Can I get that in writing?

>> There's something she's not saying.

>> Yeah. Not to mention no one can

corroborate where she was for those 4

hours.

>> You think this car would suit Max?

>> No. You'd look like a tryard.

>> Harsh. Let's see what the professionals

say.

>> Stan.

>> Yeah. We're uh looking for Rory Parks.

Is he about?

>> No, he's not.

>> Should we come back soon or

>> He doesn't hang around here any longer

than he has to. You ask Tonnie in the

office, she won't know where he is.

>> Okay, thanks.

You uh keeping all right?

>> Hey.

Hello,

>> detectives Mike Shepard and Kristen

Sims. Uh, do you know where we might

find Rory?

>> No.

>> Sorry. And you are

>> Tanya Freeman.

>> Tanya. So, no idea where he is.

>> Uh, he's probably at home. He lives out

on P's Road. Do you want the number?

>> Sure. Good. Yes, thanks. Tons, got to

shoot out for a bit.

>> What? Who's going to cover?

>> Sorry, something's come up.

Roads.

>> Still here, you [ __ ]

>> How could you do that? That was so

messed up.

>> Bang her off. Roads bloody will kill

you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Now,

>> what's this all about?

>> You want to tell them got the boards to

do that?

step was screwing Kelly behind Hayden's

back.

>> You know nothing, Frods.

>> I know what I heard.

>> And what was that?

>> I overheard them talking about it.

>> Hey,

>> did you tell Hayden about us?

>> No. Hell no.

>> What the hell are these for?

>> Cows.

[ __ ] [music]

Kelly,

>> does what Froto think he heard have any

basis to it?

>> Of course it does. I asked Kelly.

[music]

>> Are you kidding me? Tell me this isn't

true, Kelly. She said it was true. That

you felt like crap, but it was true.

>> I'm sorry.

>> You're dead to me. Froto got that.

>> Go home. Cool off now.

We need to get some straight talk out of

Kelly McKenzie.

[music]

Take a seat. Do you want a coffee?

I won't be a tick.

Sam, boss, a Rory Parks lives on P Road.

Get over there. I need to know whether

he received a wedding invitation on his

doorstep the afternoon of Hayden's

death.

>> On it.

>> Thank you.

>> Is this going to be recorded? Do I need

a lawyer?

>> No. At the moment, I'm just talking to

you as a witness. St. I didn't actually

see anything. But [music] you were there

in the bush with your mates carrying a

gun.

Your best mate was about to marry a

woman who you said, what was it? Is a

beautiful chick.

So beautiful it turns out you were

sleeping with her. So, for now, it's

just the chat while I try and pull the

facts together.

>> Kelly, you haven't been overly

forthcoming with some really important

details. I forget things. Does that

include sleeping with Ste Baker?

>> It was like once. Just once?

>> Twice?

>> It was only maybe three or four times.

That's all. It wasn't serious.

>> Screwing your best mate's fianceé wasn't

serious.

>> I know Stent wanted more, but I totally

caught it off.

>> I said to Kelly that it has to stop. I

mean, Hayden's my best mate for Christ's

sake.

>> I said, "These things have a way of

getting found out, and if we stop now,

it might be like it never happened." It

just wasn't right.

>> And I know it was utterly wrong.

>> I thought I should get the hell out of

Dodge, you know. So, I offered to leave

town.

>> I said, "No way." You know, we we have

to own it together. We can beat it, you

know. It was this one time dumb thing.

>> Two time.

>> Yeah. Two time thing.

That was

really hard to ignore.

Some things like that, like attraction.

That's what my mom says.

>> I know.

You know what she means.

>> Sure.

>> What about you, then?

>> Well, some things are hard to ignore.

Like the fact that they're just not

really that into you.

>> Deep down, is that perhaps how you felt

about Hayden?

>> No. Did you go down to Carter's gully on

Friday afternoon?

>> No.

>> Did you tell Hayden about it? Was there

an argument? Did things get out of hand?

>> I thought about it

>> about coming clean.

>> Yeah,

but then you go, "Nah, [sighs]

let sleeping dogs lie." Right. I mean,

yes, I did the dirty on my mate, but it

was only a few times.

>> So, the way you see it, you and Kelly

was little more than a fling.

>> Yeah.

I mean, she's an amazing lady and

>> and

it's just messed up, isn't it?

[sighs]

How can something

that feels so right

be wrong?

>> Is there anything else I need to know?

>> I feel like I'm in a nightmare.

You should know we've ruled out suicide.

What does that mean?

It means

that someone else killed Hayden. And as

yet, we don't know who.

You see, I have this problem. I can't

actually place you at the time of death.

There are no witnesses to put you on

Walker's Ridge when you fired your gun.

No cartridge case to tie you there.

>> Yeah, but you found my vest though,

right?

>> Well, that could have been put there at

any time, right?

>> And you held a candle for the bride.

Anyway, you look at it, it's an obvious,

though not pretty, motive to get the

groom out of the way.

>> No way. No way.

>> So, there was no argument.

>> No.

>> No struggle?

>> No.

>> The gun didn't accidentally go off?

>> I was up on Walker's Ridge. How could

it?

>> Do you think Kelly could have shot

Hayden?

>> What?

>> To make way for you. Are you for real?

>> If it wasn't you and it wasn't Frodo and

it wasn't Hayden, then who?

>> This is

I want a lawyer.

>> No need. I'm done. Constable Anderson

will drive you home. Thanks for coming

in.

>> Sheet.

>> No sign of Rory Parks. Left a couple

messages on his phone. You want me to

wait?

>> No.

>> You want me to go to the pub then?

Why would I want you to go to the pub?

>> He might be there.

>> Or any number of places on the planet.

>> Pub's usually a good place to start.

>> How many pubs are there in Brokenwood?

>> Four. No, five.

>> You want to go on a pub crawl?

>> Yeah, in the line of duty.

>> What you do on your own time is up to

you, Brian.

>> We'll pick this up again tomorrow.

Thanks.

>> Any luck with Sten?

>> Well, we won't be winning any best man

of the year awards. That's for sure.

Kelly,

>> she swears it was a once or twice thing.

Yeah, extent says it was three or four.

So, we can safely assume it was

>> 10.

>> Yeah, I'd say 10 before the uh guilt

started crushing the fun out of the

situation.

>> She swears it's over.

>> Things people do to mess up their lives.

>> Well, some things are hard to ignore,

like

attraction.

>> I've always found that to be the case.

>> How do you know Tanya?

>> What? That woman Tanya from the tire

shop. It seemed like you two knew each

other. Ah,

>> Brokenwood's not such a big place. She's

just one of those familiar faces.

>> So, that's not the Tanya Freeman.

>> Who?

>> I remember when you first started, you

asked me if I knew Tanya Freeman.

>> I'm sorry. Where are you going with the

Sims?

>> I just thought she might be another one

of your ex-wives.

>> I've never had a relationship with Tanya

Freeman.

>> Sure.

Okay. Sorry. Sorry, I just

>> Could you um write up the Kelly McKenzie

conversation before you go? T

>> Okay.

>> And uh close the door on your way out.

>> Have a great day. Love you.

Hello again.

>> You have this knack. Trouble seems to

find you.

>> I haven't done anything.

>> I know, but I have a murder

investigation centered around two of

your co-workers. The attention is going

to put you at risk.

>> What? Your cops's going to keep coming

back.

>> And now my associate, the intrepid Sims,

is asking questions about you. When your

colleagues are detectives, there's not

much slips by unnoticed.

>> Can't you just tell her about me?

>> No.

>> Well, you don't trust her?

>> No, I do. She's good. Very good at what

she does.

>> Have you told her that?

>> It's not about trust. It's about

>> Well,

if you want to keep a secret, you don't

tell anybody. If you do, then it's not a

secret. And if your secret is not a

secret, then you and your kids,

>> it's not an option, is it?

>> Witness protection is a tough mistress.

>> Yeah. Sometimes I want to climb to the

top of a hill and scream it out. Just

get it over with.

>> So, what do you want me to do?

>> Can you take a couple of days off until

it blows over?

>> I don't know.

>> It could be wise.

>> Royal will be pissed off. You know,

Froto and Stan have gone awall. I only

started a few months ago.

>> I'll do my best to keep inquiries off

site.

Look,

>> I'm running late. I've got to open up.

>> Will you be on your own?

I'll drop you down.

>> Damn, Mory's already here.

>> Right.

>> Good day.

>> Sorry, I got held up.

>> So, I see

>> Rory, isn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Detective Mike Shepard.

>> Oh, yeah. You in trouble?

>> No.

>> No. I saw her walking to work. Thought

I'd give her a lift.

>> Oh, right. I came by yesterday.

>> I'll just go and

>> Sure. Oh, yeah. Can you throw the jug

on, too, please?

>> Yeah.

>> So, you after some tires?

>> Um, no.

>> Oh, she's a beauty.

>> Yeah, my trusty steed.

>> Hey,

well, tread's getting down. You can fix

it up with some uh some 215 6514 radials

if you like. Retro lines with modern

specs. They look they look ace on that.

>> No mags.

>> Oh, mags could work.

>> How much you want to spend?

>> Well, I'll get back to you on that.

>> Well, if you're a friend of TS, we can

look after you. Knock I don't know, 20%

off.

>> I appreciate that, but no. Look, I just

need to ask you a couple of questions.

>> Is this about uh stent and frogs and

>> Hayden Rena? Yes.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bloody awful. That

hunting accidents seem all too frequent

these days, eh?

>> Yeah, so it would seem. Tell me, do you

know Kelly McKenzie?

>> Girls?

>> Yeah. Yeah, good lady. But she's real

cut up over this.

>> So, you haven't been in touch since?

>> Nah, I feel bad about it, but I I just

been flat out here coming for a stent

ins.

>> Of course. We just need to verify a

couple of things about the afternoon

that Hayden died. Yeah, I had some uh

some brain guy leave me a message.

>> Oh, DC Sam Breen. Yeah, he's one of my

team.

>> Oh, like I said, I've been flat out

here. I I was going to call after I

sorted out this lot.

>> He was just trying to verify whether

Kelly had dropped off a wedding

invitation to you.

>> Yeah. Um yeah, she did.

>> Bet you weren't there.

>> No, I saw it in my door when I got home.

>> Okay. Uh do you remember where you were

Friday afternoon?

>> Uh Friday afternoon. Uh yeah, I knocked

off here and went to Broken Wood Arms.

>> You sure? Yeah. It's Friday afternoon.

Nowhere else a man should be after a

hard week. Eh,

>> fair enough. Cheers.

>> Yep.

>> Hey, um as a matter of interest, would

you have gone?

>> Where's that? To the wedding.

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Would have been

nice to see those love birds tie the

knot and have a few beers with everyone,

but obviously not now. So, um Yeah.

Why is that?

>> Oh, just curious. Um, thanks for your

time.

>> Yeah. Oh, remember the 21565s?

Happy to do your deal.

>> I'm leaning towards the man.

>> Do you know that guy, Tons?

>> Me?

>> Nah. He came in yesterday asking to see

you.

>> Did he say why?

>> Nope.

>> Was he hassing you about the boys?

No, all good. Hey, I made you a coffee.

>> Oh, sweet. So, we'll get then.

>> Morning.

>> Ooh, not too loud.

You went to the pub.

>> Yay.

[laughter]

>> Did you find Rory Parks?

>> No.

>> But he did bump into his ex.

>> Bagger.

>> No. One thing led to another and uh

>> she's not your ex anymore.

>> It's hard to gauge. It's all a bit

unclear.

>> Well, check your Facebook. All we

revealed. Hopefully not everything.

>> The broken wood arms. Frog and cheetah.

Oh, Skangorama.

[gasps] Oh, sorry. I didn't mean that.

Your girlfriend was

>> She was dancing on the tables.

>> Well, at least it wasn't the polls.

>> Oh, actually.

>> Uh, I caught up with him.

>> Who?

>> Rory Parks. [snorts]

>> And the good news is I need you to go to

the pub.

>> Seriously?

>> Well, that's what you wanted last night.

>> Yeah, but then there was last night.

[laughter]

>> The Broken Wood Arms. Now, I need to

know whether Rory Parks was there Friday

afternoon, when, for how long, what he

was drinking, and who he was with.

>> Once more into the brereech.

>> So, did Parks get the invite?

>> Apparently.

>> So, that lets Kelly off the hook.

>> Not necessarily.

I need you to get Frankie Oats back in

here.

>> Okay. On what grounds?

>> Couple of questions.

>> Well, wouldn't it be easier to swing by

the tire center?

>> No, don't go down there. Get him to come

here.

>> Okay. Why?

>> Because I need to talk to him about his

boss.

>> Yeah. Talk to the machine.

>> [music]

>> Hello again.

Hello. Uh, could you give me a word?

>> Is Froto about? [music]

>> Yeah. Hang on.

F.

>> Good day.

You being looked after?

>> Hi, Chris and Sims. Brokenwood CIB.

>> Jeez. How many of you guys are there?

>> Sorry.

>> Oh, we had the other guy in earlier and

some uh Jim Bean leaving me messages.

Sam brain.

>> Yeah, him too. Maybe I can score that

COB tie contract. That'd be nice.

>> I just need to borrow photo for a few

minutes.

>> Are you kidding?

>> Bad time.

>> Yeah, stance gone awall and I'm really

short staffed.

>> How do you mean awol?

>> Like packing his bags

>> now?

>> Yeah, drop me right in it.

>> Isn't Hayden Rena's funeral tomorrow?

>> You think he's going to feel welcome

after what he and girls are up to and

after what happened at Cutter's Gully?

What are you implying?

>> Don't know it wasn't there, but makes

sense, doesn't it?

>> Yeah. Oh,

>> hi Froto.

>> The detective here wants to ask you some

more questions.

>> Down at the station.

>> Why is it?

>> So you can pick up your Tiger T3. We

don't need to hold on to it anymore.

>> Do what you got to do, Frods, but I'm

calling at your lunch break. Sorry,

mate.

>> I'll follow you down my c.

>> Thanks.

>> [snorts]

>> Shepherd.

>> Yeah,

>> I'm at the pub.

Balman clearly remembers Rory being here

on Friday.

>> Oh, hey, bro.

>> Sorry, hun. I'll I'll get you another

Jimmy. I run for these ladies, please.

>> Yeah.

>> What time was it? Uh, reckon it's close

to 6:00 p.m.

>> Place is busy.

>> Thanks. Get back here.

>> Photos in the interview room.

>> Okay.

>> Brian verified that Rory Parks was at

the pub on Friday afternoon.

>> Um, St. Baker's leaving town.

>> Interesting. How do you know that?

>> Rory told me as he was suggesting that

Stent shot Hayden.

>> Where'd you see Rory?

>> At the tire center when I went to pick

up Froto.

>> I told you to call him.

>> I did. There was no answer. I wish you

Never mind.

>> Froto,

>> I've told you everything I know, man.

>> No, you think you have, but you are the

keeper of other people's secrets.

>> Whatever that means. Swear I didn't know

about Stent and Kelly.

>> We believe you.

>> Then why am I here? Rory's real busy.

>> Kristen mentioned that Sten's bailed.

Well,

>> good rinse to bad rubbish.

>> Do you think Sten shot Hayden?

>> I don't know. It's possible, I guess.

>> Was there anything out of the ordinary

that day up at Cutters Gully? No,

>> it's just a normal Friday. Rory agreed

to cover for us so we could get away

early. He's a real good boss like that.

>> Have fun, boys.

Oh, I'm jealous. Cheers, Rory.

>> Let's hunt some stag. [music]

>> So, Rory's a hunter, too?

>> Yep. He was bummed out to stay in work.

>> Is everyone around here hunting?

It's broken wood. 30 minutes from town.

You can have a deer in your sights at 50

m.

>> 50 m.

>> Optimal range. Pretty sweet deal in it.

>> So up at the hut, you drank a beer.

>> Yeah.

>> And a shot of tequila.

>> Yeah.

>> And then you each took a cartridge from

a new box of 308s.

How many cartridges did you take?

>> One. We each took one. That was the

deal.

>> Are you sure?

>> Yeah. Are you absolutely sure that you,

Hayden, and Stent only took one

cartridge each?

>> Mhm. Yeah, for sure.

>> We'll let you get back to work.

>> Do I get my rifle back?

>> Can you release Mr. Oats's firearm?

Thanks.

>> The cartridges. Have I missed something?

>> We all did. It was a brand new box of

20. They each took one. How many should

be left? 17.

>> There were only 16.

>> So if Hayden St and Froto each took one,

then where's the fourth?

>> And who took it?

>> Whoever did was up at Cutters Gully,

[music] too.

>> So are we back to the gun toading bride

theory?

>> Kelly said she went to Rory's.

>> Rory wasn't there.

>> But he did get the invitation, so she

did go there.

>> Not up to Cutters. Rory said he got it.

>> Rory.

>> Yeah. Good day, mate.

>> Just following up on something. You said

you received Kelly's wedding invitation.

>> Yeah.

>> It'd be good to see it.

>> Yeah. All right. Come in.

>> Hey, I didn't realize uh you knew a bit

about hunting, too.

Nice collection.

>> Do you get out often?

>> Uh, not as much as I'd like.

>> Ever owned a Cluisner?

>> No.

>> The 55 model?

>> I never have. Why?

>> Kelly McKenzie gave Hayden one as an

early wedding present.

>> Oh, I didn't know that. You want a cup

of tea?

>> No. All good. Okay. It's the same gun

that killed him.

>> Oh, that's heavy.

>> Not Sten's Marlin X57, as you implied.

might have been the case to my

colleague, Detective Sims.

>> Well, you know, you hear things, people

talk. Never been a fan of the clues.

Prefer my Remington.

>> I understand your sister Marci was

killed in a car accident.

>> Yeah.

>> Do you know what happened?

>> Uh Marci, Hayden, and Kels were coming

back from the beach. They crashed.

>> Was it mechanical failure or

>> Does it matter?

Hayden and Kel's got out. Marcy didn't.

I don't know much more than that. Bad

things happen. That's life.

>> Then Hayden and Kelly got together.

It took you a while to accept that

union. Is that right?

>> What do you mean?

>> Kelly's mother said some found it

insensitive.

I thought you might have been one of the

some.

>> I don't know what she's on about. given

that you've kept your distance for the

last 5 years. But then Kelly invited you

to the wedding which was nice.

>> Yeah.

>> So that invitation.

>> What?

>> The wedding invite. Can I see it?

>> Why?

>> It'll help me place Kelly here that

afternoon.

>> I said that I got it.

>> Yeah, but it' be good to sight it.

I bend it

when it was off. So, I threw it out.

You want it?

>> No, like I said, I just need to sight

it. Thanks for your time.

>> Yeah, no worries.

DC Sam, are you busy?

>> No.

>> Yeah. Yeah, there's a fair bit going on.

>> I need you to see a man about a gun.

>> I need two MA751s for the hooper job.

>> Sure.

>> You okay?

Yeah.

Take him fluff.

[music]

So, you're not sticking around for

Hayden's funeral?

>> Would you?

>> I think it would be awkward.

>> Might be. I'm getting called bride

stealer and groom killer.

>> Where are you headed?

>> Are you going to stop me? No, just in

case I have a couple of questions.

>> My sister lives in Riverstone. Sheree

Baker, Riverstone Drive.

>> Tell me, when did Hayden announce a stag

party?

>> He wasn't even going to have one.

>> Why was that?

>> Think he thought they kind of lame, but

worried we'd end up at the Frog and

Cheetah watching overweight pole

dancers. He wasn't that kind of guy, eh?

>> What changed his mind?

Kelly bought him the clusner and he

turned up to work with it.

>> Oh, you are kidding.

>> Hey, he was showing off.

>> That's when I suggested a hunt. Might be

a cool way to do the stag thing. [music]

>> So, it was your idea?

>> Yeah, it was.

>> Was Rory there?

>> Yeah, I think he popped out to tell us

[music] to get back to work.

>> Yeah.

>> Hayden didn't invite him.

>> Why would he? Rory's a hunter. Yeah, but

we need Rory to cover for me and Frods.

From

>> Yeah. All right. I reckon I can make

that work. Good on you.

>> All right. That's us.

>> So, I can go.

>> Tell me, do you always take your rifle

to your sisters?

>> Is there a law against it,

>> Shepherd?

>> Yeah. Tony's adamant Rory Parks has

never bought a Clusen 55 or a Cluser of

any [music] kind. So he's strictly a

Remington man.

>> Okay, thanks.

How's it confusing? Come before the

storm, detective, maybe. Hey, where

might a man buy a gun around here?

>> Um, the gun shop. Tony's a good dude.

And if I didn't want to use the gunshot.

>> Is this some kind of trap? Cuz I swear

I'm not into that stuff anymore.

>> This is not a trap. I know you know some

people who know some people.

I'm asking a favor here.

>> I'll make some inquiries. No promises. I

don't want to get my head blown off.

What sort of gun?

>> [music]

[snorts]

[music]

[music]

>> Heat.

Heat.

[music]

She's ready. [music]

Kelly,

I know you're shaken, but do you have

any idea who might want to have done

this?

>> No. I

Oh my god.

>> What?

Um, on the morning of the hunting trip,

Hayden was really stressed out. Um, he

had lots of plumbing jobs to do before

he could get away early. And

when he went outside, two of his tires

were flat. Kids probably.

Okay. Maybe the same kids who did that

took a pot shot at me.

>> It wasn't a pot shot.

How did Hayden get to work? A

>> stent did an emergency call out.

>> Were you here when Stent [music] came?

>> Really, detective? Is that necessary?

>> That's not what I meant.

>> No, I was out walking,

>> Senior.

>> It's true. I didn't see Sena that day.

Pam, are you able to stay here with

Kelly tonight?

>> Of course. We'll have someone posted

outside all night.

>> Lads reckon this position lines up with

the bedroom window.

>> Senior.

>> Good work.

>> Chuck down stent and Froto.

>> Justin from comms. Rory Parks reported a

break in at his house.

>> Want to take bets on what they stole?

>> I reckon the bastards stole a water.

>> There's been a bit of that going around

the district apparently.

>> It's my favorite Remington.

>> Where were you when this happened?

>> Pub.

>> Broken arms.

>> Yeah, I just got back.

>> Yeah, if you're done with the

>> What's the problem?

>> Check that pub.

>> Verifying your whereabouts.

>> Don't you believe me? That's rich. I've

just been burgled.

>> You're on a first name basis.

>> Are you aware of events tonight at Kelly

McKenzie's?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Word went around the pub

real quick. I left soon after I found

out about it. Came back here, found

this.

Hope they're not all connected.

>> I hope so, too.

We'll get fingerprinting underway.

>> Got hold of Sheree Baker. Stance's been

in Riverstone all evening.

>> You spoke to him? Yep.

>> Froto. Froto is the frog and cheetah.

Swears it couldn't have been him as he

threw his rifle in the river as a

cleansing ritual to get rid of all the

bad energy. Man stoned. Ripped off his

nuts. Reckons he's done with hunting,

guns, the whole shebang.

>> Can you believe him?

>> The biggest danger that Frodo poses is

to himself. And whoever shot at Kelly

was a crack shot. Frodo is too close.

The boys will die for it at first light.

>> The barman in the broken wood arms

remembers Rory being there tonight

after this. Go there. Check any security

camera footage.

>> So if it wasn't Frodo Stent Rory and

obviously Kelly didn't shoot it herself.

Are we talking different shooters now?

>> Whoever shot at Kelly killed Hayden.

They used the fourth cartridge. I'm sure

of it.

>> And you think it was Rory?

>> What's the motive? He one minute he's

going to the wedding, the next he's

knocking off the groom. He was never

going to the wedding.

>> He got the invite right. He was planning

to attend.

>> He tore it up

>> when?

>> Probably when he got it.

>> But he must have got it after Hayden was

killed. Hayden died around 400 p.m. and

Rory wasn't home till later that night.

This is mine and Kristen's wedding

invite. Are you too?

>> Yep. Right. Yep. It's beautiful. It's

embossed. You intend to attend, but then

you get news of my tragic and sudden

death.

>> Okay. I'm just trying to invest in that

emotionally.

>> So, what [clears throat] do you do with

it now? Do you tear it up in anger? Do

you take it out on the wedding

invitation?

>> No.

Why?

>> Because it's become a momento. Mike is

saying that Rory's treatment of the

invite is telling us the story.

>> It takes a certain kind of anger to do

that to a wedding invite.

>> Anger about a sister.

>> Could be.

>> It's 5 years ago.

And the question still remains, how does

a guy get shot with his own gun from a

distance of 50 m?

>> Let's say Rory was up at cutters. He has

this ability to be in two places at

once. But what then? He just taps Hayden

on the shoulder. Hey dude, I was just

passing. Uh, you know, I'm still pissed

about my sister dying. Can I borrow your

clues? And Hayden says, "Oh, hey Rory."

Yeah. Well, sure. No worries. Then Rory

takes the gun, walks 50 m, turns around,

shoots him in the head, walks back, puts

the rifle down, and goes off to the pub.

I don't buy it,

>> Jared. Hey, I got that information

you're after.

>> Can you come down to the station?

>> You're kidding, right? After what I've

just been sussing out, walking into a

cop shop would be a very bad look. Mike,

>> the back entrance?

>> Yeah. Now I could jump out of a plane

and use a tatail as a parachute. My

survival chances will be the same. I'm

on green or lane.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> So someone who knows someone wouldn't

say who bought the clues. [music]

You could have told me that on the

phone,

>> but they would say the deal was done out

of Murphy's ride by the odd cement works

and the dude who paid cash might be

driving a black ute.

>> Yes.

If my contacts get rumbled, I'm going to

wear it. E.

>> I'm not interested in those guys.

>> Well, well, who then?

>> You ever come across a Rory Parks?

>> Yeah. You sold me four tires as new.

They were bloody retreats. Two peeled

off after a month. He wouldn't refund.

and blame my driving.

>> You do drive like a maniac.

>> It's a form of expression.

>> A Rory drives a black ute. So he has the

clues now

>> somewhere.

>> Well, search and seize.

>> There was a breaking at his place

tonight. They stole a Remington. We

looked around. No sign of the clues now.

>> Might have been taken too.

>> There was no robbery. He staged it. And

the Remington, his pride and joy. It'll

be somewhere close by.

>> Do you want me to take a look? What?

>> No, definitely not.

>> Okay, but if I happen to be passing by,

I'll be looking for two rifles.

>> Cops think where would he hide it?

Better to think, where would I hide it?

>> I don't want to know about this.

>> Know about what?

Huh?

Hello? Somebody there?

All

right.

You were right. The Remington

and

the Clus 55.

>> You're second. Have a good day. Love

you.

We need to have a chat.

>> So much for not drawing attention.

>> Friday afternoon when Stint and Froto

went hunting. Can you remember what time

they left?

>> 1 maybe 1:30. Rory gave them the

afternoon off.

>> And what time did you knock off?

>> Early.

>> How early?

>> Oh, it was sweet.

Why don't you take the rest of the

afternoon off too? Eh,

>> really?

>> Yeah. Yeah, I can finish up here.

>> Thanks.

>> He was in a real good mood considering

what had happened earlier.

>> What was that?

>> Hayden ran to need an emergency call

out. Stent was all set to go, but Rory

insisted he did it.

>> I've already given you the afternoon

off, right? Do as you're told for once.

>> Okay, mate.

So, you left about 1:30?

>> Yeah. So did Rory.

>> Was he working today?

>> He always comes in late on a Wednesday.

>> Take the day off.

>> What? Why?

>> Cuz things are about to heat up.

>> I got to put the pay through.

If I don't put the pay through, I don't

get paid. Are you going to feed my kids?

>> Put the pay through, then go home.

>> See Rory's indeed. Do what you have to

do, then leave.

>> [snorts]

[music]

>> Boss, check this out. Yes, Rory Parks

was at the Brokenwood Arms last night.

He goes to the toilet.

for 57 minutes. Enough time to process a

dodgy kebab maybe. Or to head over to

Kelly's and take his shot.

>> Have they fingerprinted the clues?

>> We're searching for a match.

It's not like he's seen you.

Kristen,

>> I've just finished a followup with Kelly

McKenzie.

>> She all right?

>> Still shaken. She's dealing with it by

chain smoking.

>> Have you always smoked demol?

>> No, my boyfriend got me started. Hayden

[music] smoked demo.

>> No, before Hayden, my ex Rory.

>> Another little gem she forgot to

mention.

>> So Hayden killed Rory's sister [music]

and stole his girlfriend.

>> Whoever said life in the provinces was

dull.

>> Men have killed for a lot less than

that.

So, we have a motive.

>> If you wanted to kill someone but make

it look like they were shot with their

own gun, how would you do it?

>> Um,

>> four blo, four guns, four bullets, three

shots.

>> Two cluses. [music]

>> He created an opportunity to switch his

gun for Hayden's.

Hey mate.

>> Hey bro. How you doing?

>> They swapped vehicles so Hayden could

get to his jobs.

>> Yeah.

>> Yep. Appreciate it Rory. Thanks man.

>> No worries.

>> Rory now had the key to Hayden's gun

safe.

Hayden carried Rory's clues into the

bush without even knowing it.

Rory followed them in.

Took that fourth cartridge and

the cigarette smoke sten smelled wasn't

Frodo's

[sighs]

shot Hayden with his own gun.

Where are you now?

>> Rory's, but he's not here.

>> Do you want me to try the tire center?

>> No,

>> I'm just about there.

>> Okay, wait for me.

move any closer and she's dead.

[panting]

I was just going to leave, but she

started asking questions.

Too many bloody questions.

Rory,

I take you looking for me. And Detective

Sims,

>> welcome to my threesome, Mike.

Slowly take your weapon out. Slowly

take your weapon out.

Hold it by the barrel. Drop the bullets

to the floor.

Slide the gun to the other side of the

room.

And your phone.

Now you get to make a choice.

As you can see, I got my hands full. I

only need one of these ladies in my

insurance policy. But

if I see any police vehicles in my rear

view mirror, I will not hesitate to

terminate my insurance policy. You got

that?

Which one's it going to be? H your

colleague here?

It means quite a lot to you, doesn't

she?

What's that about?

>> I don't know what you mean.

Are you just hot for her? Or maybe this

one?

Make a choice.

Which one are you going to set free?

>> Neither of these women have done

anything to hurt you. In the same way

that Hayden didn't kill your sister.

>> How do you know that?

>> It was an accident, Rory. Oh, the crash

maybe. What about after

[screaming]

considering what happened later, them

getting together?

I don't know. Maybe they were playing

the long game. I don't think that's

true.

>> Think what you like. I lost a sister and

then a girlfriend that day. Hayden and

Kelly were so damn happy. Why should A

COUPLE OF COWARDS GET TO BE SO DAMN

HAPPY WHEN MARCI SUFFERED LIKE THAT?

>> BUT THIS DOESN'T make it any better.

This doesn't change anything.

>> Choose, detective.

Now, one,

two,

let her go.

Doesn't love you.

Open it up.

>> Open it.

[music]

You okay?

>> Yeah. I I just want to hold my kids

Copsfield. [music] Don't answer the

phone or the door.

Heat. Heat.

You know I'm a good shot. Mike,

what's this?

Next one goes in your head or hers. You

choose. Or you can bug her off and tell

your MATES TO DO THE SAME.

>> All right, hurry up. Come on. Got two

officers up there. Potential hostage

All right, come on.

in all the papers. [music]

>> Can you uh do something about that?

>> The woman from the tire center, the

other hostage, I can't track her down.

Any ideas?

>> I can't help you with that, Meredith.

I never knew how empty, how alone, how

cold, how slow.

>> You disobeyed a clear director from

comms, you bloody idiot.

>> You could get a citation for that.

>> I prefer a whiskey [music] boss.

>> Irish, right? See what I can do.

>> Wait here.

I'll say

>> you okay

>> I'll run you home.

And I can shoot the wolf at night.

>> So you going to tell me who Tanya

Freeman is?

>> Wow, she must mean a lot. You traded me

for her.

>> She has kids.

>> Oh, survival note to self. Get kids.

>> And if I don't tell you,

kit to the privates.

You sure you don't want to drive?

>> Positive.

>> Come on. It's a 1971 Holden Kingswood.

>> It belongs in a museum. Mike,

>> you are harsh.

>> You like country western?

>> No, don't try that one.

>> No, seriously.

>> Seriously, I don't.

>> The best threeminute crime stories

stories ever sung. I know.

>> So, you do like [music] country?

>> I don't know why you bother asking me

anymore. You're going to play it anyway.

>> Yeah, you betcha.
