Surprise! Happy birthday, Adin V.

Sorry, it is tradition. One t for every

year of life.

>> I thought you said it was a party.

>> More are joining the celebration a

little later. Until then, it is party.

Keep it very quiet.

>> Can't be a big one,

>> can it? All I know is that it's way too

early for a picnic.

>> Must be a Russian cultural thing.

>> Yeah, is it?

>> Well, you know, Gina, she wanted to keep

them all to herself.

>> Surprised that she convinced him to do

anything. He's not really the

celebrating time.

She's very persuasive

>> and possessive.

>> Does it start with a four or a five?

>> I'm not telling.

>> Or a six.

>> Give me a break.

>> I know.

>> Well, come on. Spill the beans.

>> No funny spoiling the beans.

>> Never been on my bucket list.

>> Neither.

>> I've done a bungee, but skydiving looks

hardcore.

Freefall is at speeds of 200 km per

hour. It is like wrestling with the

angels. The adrenaline, it's very

addictive. Shall we do cake now and

singing?

>> Haven't my ears been through enough?

>> Traditional Russian birthday song. I

have written it out phonetically. Come

on, we must sing with Gusto.

What was that?

>> No,

I think it's Andre.

>> You know

>> it's Andre parenton ex-boyfriend.

We can take care of this. I

>> haven't seen him in years. I didn't even

know he was in Brokenwood.

>> Incoming.

>> Brother and mother.

>> I don't I don't understand why. Why

didn't the computer kick in? Launch the

reserve shoot.

>> No way.

>> It's all right. I'm a doctor.

>> He's gone. He's gone.

>> Please, please don't leave me. You're

not my baby.

Not my beautiful baby boy.

They say you die of a heart attack

before you, you know,

>> hit the ground.

Yeah,

>> myth.

He would have been fully conscious.

>> I will return with my kids.

>> Something's not right.

Why didn't the shoots open? Why the hell

didn't the shoots open?

Sorry, I didn't catch your name. Uh

>> um Felix, older brother.

>> Have you done much skydiving before,

Felix?

>> Uh yeah, heaps. We all have.

>> Excuse me. Um what happens now?

>> We will need to speak to you at some

point. There's no hurry. Tomorrow's

fine.

>> We should do it now.

>> Honestly, you're in shock.

>> No, we should do it now.

Okay, perhaps down at the station where

it's warmer. You a cup of tea?

>> DS Mike Shepard.

>> Nina Jacobs, operations manager at the

skydiving center. Not the best day to be

rostered on as chief safety officer.

>> You've informed the CIA

>> and the New Zealand Parachute Industry

Association on their way.

>> Oh god, poor Andre.

>> The family were talking about a computer

not going off. uh the automatic

activation device that should have fired

the reserve once Andre reached minimum

altitude. All jumpers in New Zealand are

legally required to use them. It's part

of the safety check protocols.

>> I'll take your word for it. There's no

way he would have jumped knowing it

wasn't working.

>> No way. Sorry. God, I'm so sorry. This

is so unprofessional.

>> It's okay.

>> Mike, ready when you are?

>> Actually, Gina, CA will need to remove

the gear for testing.

Investigate the site first.

>> No pilot, therefore no main, no reserve,

none of the parachutes deployed.

>> I'm guessing this was part of the

problem.

>> I've never seen that before. That's for

the reserve. Must have come away.

>> Metal looks highra. It's hard for it to

just come away.

>> I'll see how far away the CIA is.

So, Andre, I know you jumped,

>> but were you pushed

>> Hughes?

>> It's Mike.

>> Oh, you're ringing to invite me to your

birthday party.

>> Not you, too.

>> One dead in a skydiving accident, but it

looks like the shoot was tampered with.

>> Who's the deceased? Uh,

>> Andre Barington, entrepreneur in the

hospital industry. And turns out he's

Sims's ex.

>> Oh, hell. Is she okay? Uh,

>> yeah, it seems to be. Even though we

were there when it happened, he just

fell out of the sky.

>> Messy.

>> Yeah. And he was jumping with his

family. They landed safely a few minutes

later.

>> Even more messy.

>> Given Sims relationship to the deceased,

can you see any issues with having her

on the case?

>> How long ago?

>> She said years.

>> Pre- brokenwood.

>> You're thinking homicide. something,

sir.

>> And she knows the family.

>> That was my impression.

>> Well, she could be a big asset to the

investigation as a liaison if she thinks

she can stay objective.

>> You know, some people find it creepy,

but I think taxiderermy is the highest

form of respect one can pay our fur

friends. Why anyone would sink so low as

to steal them is beyond me.

>> We will let you know if we hear

anything, Mr. Simpson.

>> Oh, please. No. Call me Sydney. Oh, and

I have some authentic Hosen and Durn.

The sound of music.

>> I will keep that in mind.

>> How's it going?

>> The world is a strange place. Who would

have thought that people would want to

steal stuffed animals?

>> I meant the deceased ex.

>> Ah, you know that's real. One minute I'm

picnicking, the next my ex-boyfriend

falls at my feet. Not quite what Crowded

House had in mind.

The song by Crowded House.

Showing my age.

>> Yeah. Which is how old exactly?

>> Not getting me that easily.

I've consulted with the operations

manager at the skydiving center, Nina

Jacobs.

>> Should be gutted. An accident like that

will be bad for business.

>> It wasn't an accident.

>> There are early indications. Yes.

>> Did the family know?

>> They guessed. Been skydiving enough to

know that something wasn't right.

>> Don't know why I'm surprised. He was a

very divisive person.

>> I've talked it over with Hughes.

>> You want me off this one?

>> It's up to you.

>> It's not a conflict of interest.

>> Enough water under the bridge. No

pressure either way.

Andre Barington, 31.

>> Family here already. I said there was no

hurry, but the mother wanted to talk.

>> I'll do the meet and greet.

Get the reunion out of the way.

Lorraine, Felix, I am so sorry for your

loss. Kristen.

>> My little Kristen. What are you doing

here? I thought you were going to be a

paramedic in Denedan. Well,

>> that's funny how life works out. I ended

up studying psych and now I'm on the

CIB.

>> Why would someone do this to our boy?

How am I going to get over this?

>> Come on, Mom. Come.

>> I'm sorry.

It's a difficult time. What's important

now is that we find out what happened.

>> Always so calm and pragmatic.

Perfect counterpoint to Andrea. I don't

know why he left you. Um, I don't think

we've met. Grace Turnbell, Detective

Chris.

Nice to put a face to the name.

Likewise.

>> You're experienced jumpers.

>> Very.

Was there anything unusual about today's

jump?

>> We did what we always did. We completed

our checks and and ran through the

routines on the ground.

>> And then what happened?

>> We got on the plane. Conditions were

okay. Light breeze.

>> How do you know what time to jump and

who decides?

>> It's a preset altitude. 16,000 ft gives

you linear freefall.

>> The routines went without a hitch.

>> We've done it better.

That's what training runs are for.

It was all going well until it was time

to open the shoots

and Andre's didn't open.

>> I wasn't too worried at the time. I

thought it was just bag lock.

>> I figured the AAD computer would kick

in.

Apart from that, was there anything out

of the ordinary?

>> No.

It was like every other job.

>> No, nothing.

>> Nothing.

>> Whose idea was the skydiving display?

>> Felix's.

>> We're all experienced formations. It

seemed like a good idea at the time.

It was going to be part of the big promo

event at the domain for the new bar.

>> The new boutique brew bar just off the

main drag.

>> Is that you guys?

>> Not me. Not my thing. Andre and Lorraine

and Dean Young, their new business

partner.

>> Business was everything. It's It's what

got us up in the morning.

What am I going to do without him?

>> What about before the jump?

Did anything unusual happen in the

leader?

No, no, I don't think so.

>> Come on, BOYS. PICK IT UP. The

>> bar's going through a refitish, which is

stressful, of course.

It's business as usual.

>> Tree, there's always some kind of drama

going on.

>> We'd had a bit of a fight.

>> Bought the wrong type of chocolates or

sleeping on the couch.

>> It was nothing major. You always do

this,

>> babe. There be other trips.

Hey, Paul. The Himalayas is their big

grind. They're not going anywhere.

>> We like to fight, kept things fresh,

showed we cared,

and the making up was fun.

>> Given what they've said, can we find any

clear motive amongst the family?

>> Grace and Andre had just had a fight the

night before. He slept at the brew bar,

but it sounds as if lover's tiffs were

not uncommon. Obviously, some things

never change, but that explains why they

travel to the skydiving center

separately.

>> And according to Lorraine, Andre's

parachute was packed yesterday and

stowed in his car.

>> The name Dean Young came up a few times.

Was supposed to pick up the jump domain,

but was a no-show,

>> which is suspicious at worst, rude at

best.

>> Breen, find him, get a statement,

>> and I want to know exactly where Andre's

car has been in the last 24 hours, given

that it contained his parachute. will be

at the skydiving center.

>> No prizes for guessing which one's

Andre's car.

>> Nina Jacobs, Detective Sims.

>> Hello. Hi. Any news? CIA called

forensics had a preliminary look at the

computer once we were back at base. It

was working fine.

>> Well, obviously not.

>> It had just been turned off.

>> Can that happen accidentally?

>> No.

>> They also confirmed that the reserve

cable had been cut.

>> Oh my god.

>> Got any theories on how that might have

happened?

>> What's strange is none of the parachutes

activated. pilot shoot. When it's

launched, it inflates, pressure of which

drags the main shoot out of the

backpack.

>> So, it would have been tampered with.

>> Either it wasn't cocked or the bridal

and kill line was cut. And if that

doesn't open, the main shoot's not

coming out of the bag.

>> What about the handle?

>> The handle activates the reserve shoot,

or it's supposed to.

>> According to his family, Andre packed

his parachute yesterday after their last

training run.

>> Then most of the safety checks would

have been done already. If Andre packed

it himself, he's not going to go back

and recheck it. And I remember him doing

his pre-boarding checks,

>> which are ensuring the ring system

rotates freely, harness isn't twisted,

safety pins free and clear.

>> Safe and sorry, eh?

>> Would he have checked the handle?

>> Yep. He gave it a little wiggle to make

sure the wire was moving at the top.

It's standard practice.

>> Good luck. If the wire had been cut, it

must have been fixed back together

enough to pass that test.

I guess what happened next? He turned on

the AAD.

>> We should uh we should run the routine.

Yeah, just give me a sec.

>> Sweet. Let's do it.

>> So, between then and the jump, it was

turned off.

>> Plenty of accessibility.

Were other people's shoots racked here?

>> It was a busy day. There would have been

a dozen, possibly more.

>> How busy are we talking?

>> Train station.

Tourist. Tourist. Tourist.

Staff member.

>> We need to talk to them all.

The rain. Felix floating around there in

the background.

>> Grace. Another tourist.

>> Where are those people going?

>> Bathrooms. A lot of nervous we

>> Who's that guy talking to Andre?

>> Don't know his name. Business colleague.

I think I've seen him with him before,

but he never jumps.

>> Could be Dan Young. So, what would he be

doing there?

>> To tamper with the gear. Would someone

need specialized knowledge?

>> Not necessarily. Plenty of skydiving

info on the internet.

>> Okay. He definitely doesn't look like

he's there for skydiving.

Have you seen the man on the CCTV

footage here before?

>> No, but he caused quite a scene. Got all

up in Andre's face about something.

>> And this was before the jump.

>> Right before they headed out.

>> You know this, man. The hell are these?

>> What was it about?

>> Sort it out.

>> No idea. They took it outside.

>> Did anyone else see this?

>> Andre's mom did.

>> Lorraine didn't mention an altercation

in her interview.

>> Huh? Ladies first.

>> Senior citizens get right away. Cheeky.

>> So, were they all kitted up at this

point? All strapped up, ready to go.

>> Would you be able to turn off the

computer while the plane was in the air?

>> Busted. Let's take that as a no.

>> It's hard to be discreet when you're

wedged in like sardines.

Cahoo Taylor

could be the guy in the CCTV footage.

Looked a bit like a tradey and he's owed

thousands which might explain the

altercation.

>> Follow up.

>> Cahoo. This is Detective Kristen Sims

Brokenwood CIB. Please give me a call on

this number when you get this message.

Thanks.

I'm surprised he had any time for

business.

>> Work hard, play hard.

>> Do you know him? Well,

>> bit. Definitely a high flyer in all

sense of the word. Could charm the pants

off anyone.

>> Right then.

>> Supplies are in the back.

>> What's your paintwork,

>> Dean Young? Yeah. What's to you?

>> DC Sam Brain, broken with CIB, part of

the team looking into the death of Andre

Barington.

>> Yeah, hell of a thing. I'm surprised

you're still working.

>> Clearly, you're not a businessman.

>> No, I'm a policeman.

>> We're backgrounding Andre potentially.

This is part of our investigation. Why?

He didn't land on the bar.

>> I can understand you're upset, but

>> Come on. When humans jump out of planes,

sometimes gravity wins. I'm sad for him,

but right now it's not my problem. This

is my problem.

>> You're still planning on opening?

>> Yeah, I think my boss might have a

problem with that. I don't care what

your boss thinks. This bar is opening on

schedule. It has to.

>> I don't think you understand the

seriousness of the matter.

>> You want to know serious? Try sinking

half a mill into a new business.

>> Okay, let me explain again. I want your

people to stand down. so that we can

have a thorough look around.

>> Looking for what?

>> Andre stayed here last night. We're

looking for anything that might explain

his accident.

>> Do as they asked, Dean.

>> Then the sooner we get on with it, the

sooner they can carry on.

>> Get a team together.

>> And while we wait, let's get that

statement out of the way.

>> I think your boss is overreacting.

>> He just wants to get to the bottom of

the accident. My son was murdered.

Please don't try and dress it up as

anything else.

Uh, do you have a Kahu Taylor working

for you? Not my department. Then do you

know if Andre and Kahu Taylor had a

disagreement this morning

at the skydiving center? Yes. What of

it? You never mentioned anything in your

statement to DSS Shepherd. Kahu Taylor

was attacking Andre's professional

reputation. There was no need to pass it

on as there was no merit to the

allegations.

>> He was owed a lot of money.

>> I doubt that.

>> Few weeks late. So what? Trades will

never happen.

>> Lorine, why are you doing this? Opening

the bar is crazy. It's what Andre would

have wanted.

>> But not now.

You need some time out to to grieve, to

feel sad.

>> I want to celebrate my son's life. This

is what I can do for him.

What you can do is find out who killed

him.

>> Look, we may have got off to a bad

start. I overreacted. Sorry.

>> It's a stressful time.

>> Yeah, trust me. Whole heap of money in a

new business that supposedly can't open

because my business partner had an

accident.

>> Except it wasn't an accident.

Well, so you said. But regardless, it's

costing me money every day.

>> Well, not to mention you're a little bit

upset by Andre's death. Oh,

>> come on, man. Of course that, too.

>> How did Andre's come about?

Andre approached me 6 months back,

pitched the idea of a potential chain of

boutique brew bars, starting small in

Brokenwood, and the plan was to expand.

He like to think big. So do I.

Seriously, dude, I've got to get back to

the site. I've got 12 tradies at 80

bucks an hour standing around doing

nothing.

>> Why were you at the skydiving center?

>> I dropped Lorraine Grace and Felix off

with their jump on my way to see a

supplier.

>> Right. And you were meant to pick them

up from the landing site in the domain,

but you didn't.

I got held up at the supplier.

So, there you go.

You know where to find me.

Cahoo, this is Detective Kristen Sims

again. I'd appreciate it if you could

return my call. Thanks.

I've secured the brew bar ready for the

morning. Been a big day.

>> It's not over yet.

>> That's true.

>> Kristen has meeting us at the Toad and

Lion.

>> Why?

>> Birthday drinks, boss.

>> How would you describe Andre's

attributes?

>> You know, you can stop working, right?

It's your birthday.

>> I'm not working. I'm just curious.

Well, he was charismatic,

charming,

controlling, conceited, and a cheater.

>> He had a history of infidelity.

>> Guys like Andre have a sense of

privilege, entitlement, like they've

never heard the word no in their lives.

And there was crossover with me and

Grace. It's why I broke up with him.

>> It's been a tough time. Well, that's

what happens when your mother raises you

as a narcissist and you think you can

have whatever you want.

>> Okay, on to the real issue of the day.

Are you a baby boomer or a Gen X?

>> I'm really not very good at this.

>> Was Keith Holly Oak prime minister when

you were born?

>> Well, if he was, I'd be too young to

remember.

>> Froto,

>> I had nothing to do with that dead bar

guy. I swear. Oh, news travels fast. Not

that we were asking.

>> Did you work for him?

>> Nah. Dude wouldn't hire me. Gave

Kimberly a gig, though. Sounded dodgy

ass. He pulled on a ponytail.

>> Maybe he meant it as a compliment.

>> Or maybe he was a creek.

>> Yeah, I'm with Froto on this one.

>> I'll keep my ear to the ground. Let you

know if I hear anything on the down low.

>> Yeah, you do. There,

>> Ray. Trudy.

>> Uh, two single malts neat and a soda of

Sims. Thanks.

>> I hear they're opening anyway.

>> Sorry,

>> Andre.

>> We used to respect the dead and broken

wood. Not anymore. The developer seems

very intent.

>> Craft beer bars. They're a joke.

>> Crap beer for starters.

>> Just bait. Big breweries to buy in and

create a franchise. I don't give a damn

about the locals.

>> Can't be good for you guys. It's why we

closed the Frog and Cheetah for a

refurb. And we're giving this place a

bit of a spruce up. We'll fight fire

with fire.

>> Problem with these city boys walsing in

here like they own the place. They don't

understand the business. They don't

understand the town.

>> We do.

>> You make it sound like a turf war.

>> Here you go.

>> Thanks.

Tomorrow, find out Trudy's movements

this morning.

>> Trudy? Seriously? She seemed pretty hit

up by Andre's opening. Thought

>> you weren't working. I'm not working.

I'm just

>> just curious.

>> Curious.

>> Happy birthday.

>> Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.

>> What did you see in this Andre

Barington?

>> He was charming and fun.

He jumped out of planes and conquered

mountains and had big dreams.

Made life an adventure as a attractive

quality for a while.

>> Yes to Keith Holio.

>> I love this one.

>> Oh god.

>> Only because it's your birthday.

Tears,

lonely tears.

>> Christian Sims.

>> Nina. Hi.

Right. I'll be right over

Mike. I'm heading to the skydiving

center. There was a break in there last

night.

Tablets, laptops, GoPros. Any cash? We

didn't have much, but that's gone, too.

And that

Trudy,

>> Skuna or Stonehenge? Uh,

>> they look the same to me.

Your movements yesterday morning and the

evening before.

>> Why do you want to know?

>> You just tell me. I'll be out of your

hair.

>> Where's the fun in that?

>> Can you just tell me where you were?

>> But you're the detective,

so detect.

Do you know where your sister was

yesterday morning and the evening before

that?

>> She playing hard to get.

>> Sorry, mate. Can't help you.

>> You don't know or you're not prepared to

tell me?

>> One of those two.

>> The skydiving center's been stripped and

all the electronic gear's missing.

>> Typical breaking.

>> Yes.

I know

what's interesting is that the CCTV

camera's been destroyed, smashed to

bits, and all the hard drives are

missing.

Kahoo Taylor knew he'd been caught on

tape,

>> so he went back to get rid of the

evidence.

>> What else can it be?

Yeah.

>> DS Shepherd, Detective Kristen Simps.

>> Oh, you left your card. Is Kahu Taylor

here? He's down at the bank. He's got

some cash flow issues.

>> Can you vouch for his whereabouts last

night?

>> Here studying. He's doing one of those

master classes online

>> all night.

You don't seem 100% on that?

>> Well, sure I was asleep some of the

time, but what with the baby? I get up a

lot and he was here. Look, give Kyle a

break. He doesn't need the cops sniffing

around giving people the wrong

impression.

>> Get him to contact us.

>> He's his own boss, if you know what I

mean.

>> Sure, but he needs to get in touch.

Hardly a convincing alibi for Kahu

Taylor.

>> Or maybe she's telling the truth.

Someone else broke in to cover his

tracks.

>> Good point.

>> What did Trudy Neielson say?

>> Everything but where she was.

>> I'll keep on it.

>> Senior.

>> Nina, thanks for coming in. Is this

about the breakin?

>> No. Uh CAA have some observations, some

interesting points.

>> Pilot shoot.

>> The bridal to the pilot and its kill

lines been cut.

>> Cord, it looks easy enough to do. Look

at the uh end of the wire attached to

the safety handle. It's definitely been

cut. It's smooth, not frayed.

>> Need something sturdy to get through

that.

>> Like a tool from a plumbers's kit.

And this was on the other end of the

wire underneath the canvas flare.

>> Huh. So that's how it passes safety

check.

>> The ends were stuck together just enough

to pass that test but weak enough to

fail when he tried to actually deploy

it.

>> What is it? Blue tap putty.

>> It's at the lab. We'll have a definitive

answer in a few days. Would the backpack

need to be unpacked to be tampered with?

>> Both the pilot and the handle can be

accessed from the outside.

>> Still think anyone could have done it?

The placement of the cut in the wire the

way it's hidden under the canvas. It's

so

devious.

>> You'd have to think the offender knew

their way around a parachute.

>> It kind of blows your theory about the

plumber.

>> A novice could have done it with enough

research. Surely,

>> I guess

Kahu Taylor,

had you seen him before yesterday?

>> No, he's not a skydiver, if that's what

you mean.

>> Okay. Uh, thanks.

>> I wondered if I could talk to you in

private.

>> Sure.

>> I know I should have mentioned it

yesterday, but I thought you should know

that

this is awkward.

>> You were having an affair with Andre.

>> You knew?

>> It was something you said the other day.

>> It was just the once his idea.

>> But you didn't say no. I was flattered,

but it didn't mean anything

>> to him or you.

>> Either of us. It was just part of the

high octane lifestyle.

>> I take it Grace was unaware of this.

>> Pretty sure. And I prefer it to stay

that way. Is that possible?

>> Yes, unless it becomes relevant to the

investigation.

>> Well, how could it be relevant?

>> You tell me.

>> It's not. I swear there was nothing

going on between Andre and I other than

that night and the fact that he booked

jumps from my business. Look, Andre said

they had an open relationship, but I

think he might have been lying.

>> The only way I have of checking is by

asking Grace, and you don't want me to

do that?

>> No. No, I really don't. It was a very

unprofessional thing to do.

>> Thank you for your cander.

What was that about?

>> Uh, Nina was just confirming your

theory.

>> Which one?

>> That Andre liked to share the love.

>> Sims still thinks it was the plumber.

>> Easy access to tools and adhesives.

Maybe his online master class was for

skydiving.

>> H.

>> The brew bar is full of toolboxes.

Anyone could have lifted them without

being seen.

>> There was no CCTV footage in the bar.

And the car park footage was no help in

establishing the time of day the

parachute was tampered with roving

camera. There were big gaps.

>> Okay, let's worry less on the when and

more on the who. Based on what we know,

do we seriously think that this can be

linked to a family member?

>> It's entirely possible.

We should make inquiries about their

whereabouts last night with regards to

the break-in.

H

>> Let me guess. Trudy.

>> Someone likes to drink.

>> They all do. As I recall, they're a

family of functioning alcoholics.

>> You're a joke. Go to bed and sleep it

off.

>> Give it a rest.

>> I wish it was you instead of Andre.

>> But hold that. Tell me what you really

think.

>> Yes.

Oh.

Who is living here?

>> Myself, Felix, Grace,

Andre did.

>> One big happy family.

>> I'm sorry you had to hear that. Wasn't

for public consumption. Felix and I

buttthead sometimes. Just silly words.

You know that, Kristen. Oh, yeah. You

are very different people.

Lorraine, what were you doing last

night?

>> What happened last night?

Uh, well, it all got a bit much. I um

had a few wines, took a pill. I know

that's bad, but I just wanted to blot

everything out. Oh, wait. We're not here

to judge.

>> I presume you can't vouch for the rest

of the household.

Uh, not after about 9. Uh, Grace was out

for a ride and, uh, Felix was here, I

think.

>> Is he still here? We should have a word,

>> of course. Up the stairs.

Heat. Heat.

Ah.

Um, what's what's up,

>> Felix? We're following up on your

movements last night.

>> Okay. Okay, sure. Um,

around

when?

>> We'll come back tomorrow. Talk then.

Have a coffee.

>> Um,

any idea where Grace might be?

Try Forest Park

riding your bike.

Okay, thanks.

>> Thought you said functioning.

>> Let me rephrase. Dysfunctioning.

>> Oh, here we go.

>> Kristen Sims,

>> detective.

>> Is that Kahoo? Taylor

>> speaking. How'd you know? I've dialed

your number a few times. It seemed

familiar.

>> Wow. You're a detective.

>> Mhm. Thanks for getting in touch.

>> I was on a break. I thought we could

hook up.

>> Good. Where are you?

>> Home.

>> Right. Stay there. I'll be on my way.

>> Second thoughts. I'll come in. Got to

grab a feed. I'll meet you at the

station. 15 minutes.

>> You been scabies?

>> Um, no.

>> Me neither. But it's like a parasite

gets under your skin. It's supposed to

be really itchy and painful. Makes it

hard to sleep at night. My relationship

with Andre Barington was a bit like

that.

>> Wait, I can relate to that.

>> How so?

>> Nothing.

>> I didn't know what you like, so I got a

bit of everything. Please don't make me

eat alone.

Nice place you got here.

Shame about the view. But

>> have you ever been to the skydiving

center before yesterday?

>> Nah. Rich man's game.

>> There was a break in there last night.

You know anything about it?

>> Oh,

really? My thing. No way I stay out of

trouble.

>> Oh,

you don't look like you're staying out

of trouble here.

>> Cameras, I steal your soul.

Look, I admit I was angry. I sle at

myself.

It's a dumb idea to go down there,

especially now it's tangled me up in all

this.

I got pots on the boil. New home, new

business. Ya's about to have a baby. Why

would I risk all that by killing Andre

Barington?

>> Have any of your tools gone missing

lately?

>> Not that I've noticed.

>> Hey, what online master class are you

taking? tennis with Serena Williams.

>> Man of many talents.

>> You know it.

>> You know, we could have a game sometime,

but I warn you, my top spin's really

improved.

Gina,

sure. I can come now.

Nothing unusual in his system. No drugs,

no alcohol.

He died from injuries sustained from the

fall. Massive internal compression.

>> Oh, and formed the family in the

morning.

>> We never finished our picnic and we

didn't get a chance to do the singing.

>> I think the moment has passed.

>> No matter. Have Christian and Breen

guessed your age yet?

>> No. Mike, secret it's safe with me.

>> I don't think it's really a secret.

>> In Russia, it is rude to ask a man his

age because a man's life is like the

river Vulga, long and winding and always

full of fish.

But the age of a fish

is of no importance.

Only the taste.

Thanks, Gina.

I didn't break into the sky knife

center. Okay. Why would I?

>> I was hoping you could tell me.

>> Well, I can't help you cuz I didn't do

it.

Would it be okay if I grabbed a beer?

It's a bit um bit thirsty.

>> Coffee not cutting it? No, not really.

Lorraine. Hi, I'm just at your

Okay, hang tight. I'll be right over.

Something's going down at the Probar

roll. I've got it.

>> So, how do you fit in, Felix, into the

scheme of things?

>> Me? Uh,

I'm on the payroll.

If um Andre liked to keep me around,

make them look good.

>> Don't you have your own plans?

>> Never needed them.

Andre uh kept dangling the promise of a

head chef position. Uh I'll be in charge

of my own kitchen.

>> So the head chef thing didn't really

work out.

Andre never really felt that I was great

with responsibility.

>> But you love cooking. Well, yeah. Yeah,

sure.

>> So, with Andre's passing, maybe he could

get the chance to

step up.

>> But you think I killed my own brother so

I could take over his business?

>> No.

Always believed in a phoenix rising from

the ashes.

How much of the other night can you

actually remember? Uh,

>> enough to know that I wasn't breaking in

anywhere. Okay,

>> there's yours.

>> Tools of the trade. Part of the dream.

>> Who's one? Yeah, chip the blade on a

bone.

I'll see you around.

I'll be here.

>> You told me that you paid them.

>> Why would we pay these guys until they

finished their job?

>> Yeah, but it's my reputation. Hey,

that's private property.

>> You paid for it.

>> Do something.

>> Thought you said you'd stay out of

trouble.

>> I do. This commode belongs to me.

>> You still not paid him yet.

>> Accounts are settled on the 20th.

>> Yeah, right. That's what you said last

month and the one before. About to take

on another gig. But you haven't finished

here yet.

>> I've got mouse to feed.

>> Just pay him what he's owed and then we

can all carry on.

>> Double to cover time and convenience.

I'll have to pay someone to do my other

job.

>> That's extortion. Well,

>> good luck finding another plumber with

your reputation.

>> This is killing me. Come on then.

>> Thanks for sorting that. We're behind

enough as it is.

>> This hardly rocket science. Lorraine,

the autopsy is all done. You've got the

authority to take the body.

>> I was thinking a private cremation

once the bar's open.

>> I don't understand. But how is this more

important than your son?

>> It's his legacy.

>> Sorry. It's It's not my place, but I

know that following times like these

when people don't deal with your grief

properly, it becomes problematic later

on.

You're right.

We need some kind of memorial as soon as

possible.

You'll come.

>> And now I have to go to the wake.

>> Business or personal?

>> I don't know. I'm guessing it'll be a

weird mix of both. I'll stay for one

drink, pay my respects, and then go

home. What are you doing?

>> I'm curious to see whether this tool

could have cut the wire.

Sydney, dropped this off. It's the

latest lot to go missing. Oh,

>> good.

>> Is your age divisible by three?

>> Well, every number is divisible by

three.

>> You meant a whole number?

>> No.

>> Cute or creepy?

>> How could it be cute? Look at those tiny

dead eyes.

>> I don't know. There's something regal

about them.

>> Staring deep into your soul, judging

you. You can't look away.

any leads on the break in at the

skydiving center.

>> Kahoo claims he didn't do it and I tend

to believe him. He's got too much to

lose. Baby on the way. So, no, not at

this stage.

I'll be at Forest Park if you need me.

>> Hello,

Miss Lonesome. I see you back around.

It's funny how I lose my mind when you

come around.

>> Impressive.

>> Not enough jumps.

>> You uh come here often?

>> Much as I can.

>> Looks painful.

>> Oh, yeah. Been trying to quit smoking.

Nothing seems to work. Think I'd know

better being a doctor.

>> I meant the bruises.

>> Ah, must have knocked it on a branch.

You keen on a ride?

>> Not really my thing.

>> Then why are you here?

>> CIA findings came back yesterday. It

looks like whoever tampered with Andre's

gear knew their way around a shoot.

>> Narrows it down.

>> Is Dean Young keen on skydiving?

>> Not really. Been on a couple of jumps.

>> So he'd know what was what then?

>> Anyone who's ever jumped would.

>> Okay. See you later on then.

>> Later on. What for?

The wake.

>> Yeah, great.

>> Lorraine didn't mention it.

>> No, but hey, nothing new there.

>> Last minute, I guess.

>> Yeah. And he was my boyfriend. What does

she care?

>> You and Lorraine really don't get along,

do you?

>> I loved her son. He loved me. She found

that frustrating. She wanted them all to

herself.

Guess now in a weird way she's got what

she wanted.

>> See it the way.

>> Thanks for coming along.

>> I thought two sets of eyes were better

than one.

>> Everything's reused, recycled. We use

sustainable practices.

>> Good marketing angle. All our tap beer

is locally made, locally sourced,

organic. We even have a gluten-free

pills now.

>> Can't see the point.

>> Won't be long. Find a spot. Kimberly

will get you a drink.

>> Beer, wine.

>> Uh, red if you have it.

>> Uh, times two. Thanks.

So, um, how's work? You're an emergency

department doctor, right?

>> Uh, not anymore. I burnt out their

words. Uh, excuse me. I need a

cigarette.

>> Give us a bell if you need anything.

>> Kimberly, grab the mad out of the

fridge.

>> Well, well, then for melody, he loved

it. After due diligence, he's going to

start in Monica and then Queenstown.

>> He has been dead 2 minutes.

>> Felix,

>> it's completely mercenary.

>> Andre's name will be in every city. I

know he'd want us to celebrate this

exciting news.

>> You know what? It's been a long day.

Sorry.

>> No, no, no. You can't go yet. Everyone,

your attention, please. It's time to

focus our thoughts on Andre.

Andre was a shining star right from the

start. Even as a tiny child, I knew he

was going places. We talked about

getting engaged in front of the Taj

Mahal and to celebrate climbing K2,

talked about children.

You know, that's all it'll ever be.

Just talk.

Thank you, Grace.

And now, Kristen, a few words before you

go.

Uh,

>> it would mean so much.

Um,

what can I say?

He was a man

of great vision.

He had a big heart,

uh, charming, charismatic. He He knew

what he wanted and he went out there and

he got it. So, good on him. Beautiful.

Thank you.

Nice picture.

Okay, I think we're done here.

>> Thanks again. I'm glad we did this. Let

me call you a taxi. Uh, no thanks. I'm a

short walk just up on Knox Lane. So,

good night. Good night.

>> Go. I need to use the facilities. I'll

see you tomorrow. Okay.

>> What the hell is this?

>> Calm down, Lraine.

>> Why am I not part of this franchise

deal?

>> Nothing to do with me.

>> What? Crap. Says right here, 50/50 split

between Andre Barington and Dean Young.

Your name is right here.

>> It was Andre's idea.

>> I don't believe you.

>> I'm sorry, but it's true.

>> He would never have shut me out.

>> Don't pretend like this is news.

>> Why would I spend so much time and

invest so much energy in something that

is of no benefit to me?

>> Because you're a blind fool.

>> How dare you?

>> He didn't need you anymore and you

couldn't stand it.

>> You take that. Get away from me. That's

enough. I will sink this deal if it's

the last thing I do.

>> You wouldn't know how.

>> Okay, cool off, both of you.

>> She knew she'd been cut out. I swear.

>> I most certainly did not.

>> Well, then clearly one of you isn't

telling the truth. I want you both down

at the police station 10:00 a.m.

tomorrow morning, sober.

>> Fine.

>> I knew nothing about it.

I had nowhere else to go. Please tell me

you didn't drive. I'm not stupid.

How did you know where I live?

You said Locks Lane and I knocked on a

few doors and I found you.

>> Oh god. Come on now. Put the jug on.

How could he do this to me?

I gave him everything and this is how he

repays me.

Shuts me out of the biggest deal of his

life.

Why?

I'm sorry.

Which way to the bathroom?

Straight through on the right.

What's the point?

What's the point? Now that he's gone,

I should take you home.

Anyone home?

Andre,

I never should have.

Never should have.

Lorraine,

this is important. M

>> never should have what?

H good you're here.

It's healthy.

>> But does it have to taste like cardboard

to be healthy?

>> So, it was a significant birthday then.

>> Dean and Lorraine are coming in. There

was an altercation after you left. Looks

like Andre shut Lraine out of the brood

deal. Question is whether she knew about

it before or after he was dead. Yeah,

she said as much last night

>> when

>> she came over to mine late, drunk, a

complete mess. I had to take her home

and put her to bed.

>> Thing is,

the rain is the sole beneficiary to

Andre's estate.

>> She told you that

>> the wheel fell out of the bag. I swear I

wasn't looking. But she stands to

inherit a ton of money.

>> Dean's here to see interview room one.

Hold that thought.

>> Put Lraine in too. I'll come through

when I'm done. Tough.

>> Smart money is on 50.

>> You reckon? Surely he'd celebrate a

milestone like that. Not even Mike's

that low key.

>> Why would Lorraine work so hard on the

bar if she knew she wasn't part of its

success?

>> I don't understand why this whole

business deal is so important to your

inquiry. Andre assured me she knew and

was cool with it.

She's lying.

>> Maybe Andre was lying. Trying to keep

everyone on site

>> doesn't change the fact that she'll

probably try and sink the deal.

>> Can she do that? She's not even party to

the agreement.

>> She'll get a lawyers to challenge it.

Honestly, watching those two, I joined

at the hip. But then Grace stopped work

at the hospital a few months ago and

everything changed.

Andre was becoming his own man. Lorraine

hated that.

>> Enough to kill her own son.

>> Hell hath no fury like a crazy Lorraine

Barington.

>> Okay.

Thanks.

>> No clean pants.

>> Got dressed in the dark.

Must be hard to get muddy in a bar.

>> Must when I was taking out the empties.

Speaking of mudslinging, when I woke up

this morning, some smart ass had painted

a threatening message all over my place.

>> My place?

>> Whatever.

It's bad for business.

>> I'll uh get DC brain to look into it.

>> Tell me more about Andre's will.

>> Everything goes to Lorraine, including

any future earnings. Dean believed she

knew the terms of the deal.

>> If she was shut out, that would give her

motive.

>> Punish Andre, then collect his share at

the other end.

>> Yeah, but I think it goes deeper than

that.

She created him, gave him a sense of

entitlement. There were never any

boundaries. It's psych 101. The

narcissist and his mother, they were

completely codependent

>> until Grace arrived on the scene.

>> Lorraine lost him.

and so lost herself,

her place in the world. She had to take

the power back.

She's an hour late.

Kidding me.

So, you went with Stonehenge.

>> Was on special.

>> Looks good on Andre's Brew Bar.

>> I think so.

>> So, you admit it. You did the graffiti.

>> Well, it's true. Craft beer does suck.

>> And I'm still waiting on your

whereabouts the morning of Andre

Barington's accident.

>> Got nothing to say.

>> Look, I had a complaint of willful

damage. You'd be wise to clean it up. In

my own good time.

>> Now,

>> keep your hair on.

>> I'll be back in 10 minutes.

>> You want to know where she was the

morning Andre snuffed it?

>> Yes.

>> She spends a couple of mornings each

week down at Sunset Man.

>> The rest home. Not supplying the old

folks with Sherry.

>> No,

that's a bloody good idea.

Playing poker.

Trude's been a card shark since boarding

school. Nothing she likes more than a

game or three.

>> While the mystery, it's no crime

spending time with the elderly. Well,

>> it's not good for a rep. Folk might

think she's gone soft. It'll check out.

>> Good morning.

>> Is your mother home?

>> I don't know. Mind if we take a look?

>> Oh, sure.

>> Perhaps she's sleeping over a hangover?

Yeah,

>> probably.

>> Oh. Uh, would you like me to check for

you, please?

Mom. No. No. No. Mom.

What?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Thanks,

Is there anywhere you can stay just for

a couple of days? some relatives or

>> um

are you all right?

>> I was feeling overwhelmed. I took a

pill.

>> Um

what now? If you're up to it, we need to

talk some more.

>> I don't know if I agree with that

statement. Like many people, I'm a fan

of the pale ale.

>> Have you got a minute, Mrs. Smaller

>> for you, Samuel. I have several.

>> You play piano at Sunset Manor

>> most mornings. Keeps my fingers limber

for my handiccrafts.

>> Is it true Trudy Neielson plays cards

there twice a week?

>> Yes. And I can't say I approve.

>> Well, it's only cards. Sounds pretty

harmless.

>> For money, she fleces the old bitties

out of their pensions.

Although I dare say they're grateful for

the company.

>> Was she there this week?

>> Oh, yes. Never misses. All morning. Oh,

>> I won't take up any more of your time.

Thanks for the chat, Miss.

I never should have left her.

This isn't your fault.

>> Well, right now it feels like it

shipped.

Okay, I'll be straight down.

That was Gina.

Want to come?

>> I would say between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00

a.m. But that's not the interesting

thing. First, see the slits in her

wrists? What do you notice?

Both cuts are exactly the same.

>> Yes. Same length, same depth, exact same

place on the wrist. The same amount of

pressure was applied to both incisions.

>> Maybe she was ambidextrous, equally

strong with both hands. That could

explain the similarities

>> perhaps. But even still, both cuts are

never the same. Once the first wrist is

cut, there are many distractions. Blood

gushing. Perhaps the person is having

second thoughts. They are starting to

lose strength, consciousness.

>> Her injuries suggest that someone else

did it and made it look like suicide.

>> This is what I'm thinking, too.

Especially considering this blade is

tiny and these wounds are large.

>> So, what could have done it?

>> A knife, scalpel, box cutter. The

incisions are very precise.

I would say whoever did this is skilled

with a blade

>> or a sharp tool.

>> Yes, the right tool could do this.

>> Great. Cordon off the Barington house.

Yeah, it's now a crime scene.

>> Felix and Grace are at the motel.

>> Special search ready when you are

>> good. Tell them that the focus is for a

blade of some kind.

>> Okay, guys. Let's do it.

Hey.

Something came up at the autopsy.

>> It wasn't suicide.

>> Had all the hallmarks.

>> That's what the offender was counting

on.

>> Do you think it was the same offender

that killed Andre?

>> Makes sense. The blade found by the body

doesn't fit the injuries. We might be

looking for the instrument that cut the

parachute. And there's no sign of forced

entry. Whoever did it had easy access.

You were the last person to see her

alive.

>> Well, obviously not the last, unless you

think.

>> Of course not.

>> But we need to get you a statement. I'm

going to get Hughes to do it.

>> Tick all the boxes. Fair enough.

>> Specialists are doing their thing. It's

like watching paint dry.

In the meantime,

>> there goes that theory.

>> Well, she still could have killed Andre,

which would be motive for her homicide.

>> True. We can take Trudy off the list.

She has an alibi for Andre at least. And

besides, she wasn't there to turn off

the AAD computer.

>> So,

all of the key suspects remain the same.

Dean, Felix, Grace, Cahoo, all have

motive.

>> Gina reckons our offender knew their way

around a blade, which all of ours do.

>> Bman, chef, doctor, plumber.

Isn't Kahu a bit of a stretch?

>> Yeah, I agree. He's about to become a

father. Would he really jeopardize that?

>> Let's keep him in the mix. For Andre, at

least. Both homicides boil down to

business or family. with the Baringtons.

Business is family.

Let's bring him back in.

>> No idea what time it was. Sorry. Even a

rough window would be helpful.

>> Um,

kebab shop was open. I got a chicken

eskinda and wind at home.

>> Fatty mama's closes at midnight, so it

must have been before then.

>> Sure.

>> It's quite a treat back to your place.

Must have taken an hour at least.

>> And you didn't see anyone.

>> It was late. Why aren't you talking to

Dean? He was packing himself that mom

would tip the deal over.

>> Yeah, we will be talking to Dean. Did

you go anywhere else on your way home?

>> Not that I can remember.

>> You can remember what you ate.

>> Brain's funny like that. Sims,

>> what about the mountain bike? There was

fresh mud on the tires.

>> Well, we're out and about all the time

and the weather's pants.

>> It was late.

Maybe 1 half when I got home.

>> Was anyone else awake?

>> Don't think so. No.

>> Jesus Shepard said there'd been a fight

at the bar. You ended up on the ground.

>> It was my fault. I shouldn't have got in

the way. Pete of the moment

speaks to underlying tension.

>> It was no secret that Lorraine blamed me

for Andre's

rebellion.

We were competitive the way that mothers

and girlfriends are.

We almost done here. I really need a

smoke.

>> And no one else was home at the

Barington house.

>> Not that I was aware of. I left, walked

home,

tried to sleep.

Did a sudoku. Read my horoscope.

Expect some ups and downs.

Made some cheese. Just drifted off on

the couch around 4:00.

>> Big week. How you coping?

>> Well, turns out my horoscope was right.

>> More ups or downs?

>> You want off?

>> I think that might be for the best.

In the end, it was her decision. I've

given over the rest of the day off.

>> Understandable.

How's the inquiry going? You think both

deaths are related?

>> I do. I'm just not sure how yet. Keep

plugging away. It's all we can do.

Sometimes I miss the cut and thrust.

Just not the pay scale, right?

your whereabouts last night,

specifically between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00

a.m.

>> I didn't kill the rain.

>> She threatened to sink your deal. I

didn't kill her.

>> Just answer the question.

>> I was in bed asleep for the most part

with a friend.

>> Friend's name?

>> Kimberly.

Do you vouch for me? He was upset after

the blow up with Lorraine and he

promised to take me to Queenstown. My

ticket out of Brokenwood.

>> You believed him?

>> Not really, but it was fun. Dean's not

as mean as he makes out. It's just a

costume he wears. He's a decent guy once

he takes it off. Great abs, too.

>> Oh, so it's true love then.

>> E,

>> you were with him all night.

>> Well, he was there when I woke up, if

that's any help.

Yeah, boss. Dean's alibi checks out.

Okay, thanks.

>> Dear Shepherd.

>> Ah, I thought this was Detective Sims

number

>> day off. Can I help?

>> Tell her Coal. She wanted to know if any

of my tools had gone missing. My pipe

cutter is gone.

I had it a few days ago on the job at

Andre's

noticed yesterday when I was finishing

up.

>> Forgive my ignorance, but could a pipe

cutter cut through wire?

>> Like teeth through jelly.

>> And could you use it like a knife?

>> With a bit of tinkering, I suppose. So,

yeah, but why wouldn't you just use a

knife?

>> Cahoo. Sorry, I need to ask, but where

were you last night?

>> Yeah, getting it on with Serena.

>> Is Serena your partner? Can she verify

that? I don't have a partner.

>> I thought the pregnant woman

>> Miata.

>> Oh, she's my sister.

>> The father did a runner. I'm helping her

out. So, yes, I was home.

>> Me? Uh, Mihi? Uh, hi. Uh, was your

brother home last night?

>> Yeah, all night he was watching those

stupid tennis videos.

>> Mhi, it's in your best interest to tell

us everything you know.

>> Tell him.

I've got some info about the berg at the

skydiving place.

>> Go on.

>> Her mate came around a couple of days

ago. Had some hot property was trying to

flick off. Tablets, GoPros, that sort of

stuff.

Same stuff I saw down at the center.

>> Got an address.

>> I'll text some people.

>> Glad we cleared that up.

>> I believe you know my brother's cousin

Jared Moo.

>> Jared? Yeah. Good man.

your brother's cousin. How's that work?

>> Walter is Jared's uncle, so we share the

same cord. George Moru, you know him.

>> Can't say I do.

>> So, yes, that simple, really.

>> Right.

Like you, I'm glad we cleared that up.

>> We'll need to hold them here as

evidence. Uh, but you'll be able to pick

them up in due course.

>> Insurance company will be pleased, even

if not all of them made it. I wonder

what he's thinking.

>> He's not thinking anything.

>> What's that?

Ah,

>> Fluffy reckons you 57.

>> Tell Fluffy he's dreaming.

>> Detective Shepherd this may be of

interest.

Taken last week.

>> It's a slow kind of heartbreak.

Now I know that it's too late

for a

hang around

>> fatty mumas.

>> I had a hankering for Turkish

>> and you wanted to check up on Felix's

movements.

>> You know me. Two birds. Oh, and one of

my merlos to wash it down. Oh,

>> you're a saint.

>> I am.

Little light reading.

>> Ah,

yeah. Actually, you should take these.

Professional burnout pushes people to

extremes.

>> Sound like Max's wife.

>> Which one?

>> All of them.

>> Thanks.

>> So, um, Hughes fill you in.

>> He did, but I want to check you all

right myself.

Well, I will be once we eat something. I

am starving.

>> Probably shouldn't ask you, but

there anything new.

>> I'm something pretty big.

>> Really?

>> Pray to help.

>> Your stuffed animals turned up.

>> Thank the Lord. Now I have a reason to

wake up in the morning.

Grace. Hi. Are you following me?

>> I'm just returning some stolen goods and

I'm not working on that inquiry anymore.

So, sorry. God, I sound so paranoid.

It's been a difficult time. Are you

going somewhere?

>> No, just cancing our trip into Nipple.

Sorry, must be hard.

>> Excuse me.

>> Hello, Grace. Speaking.

>> Dear Shepherd,

>> we've uh found an item of interest.

Could you pop in the station so we can

grab some fingerprints?

>> Fingerprints? Why?

>> So we can eliminate yours from anyone

else's. Standard procedure.

>> Okay, of course. I'm in town. I'll be

there in 20.

>> Thanks.

>> Your bossy says they found something.

As I said, I wouldn't know.

See you soon, Dean.

Another happy camper.

Franchise deal is falling through.

Alex, we've been trying to call. Yeah,

>> sorry. The um phone's out of juice.

>> We found an item of interest. We're

wanting elimination prints from a number

of people. We need yours.

>> What'd you find?

>> Your carving knife. It's a little worse

for wear.

>> Yeah, I told you I busted it on a bone.

>> Then you have nothing to worry about.

>> Sure. Um, let me just grab a Coke.

>> Gets better. Dean's selling the brew bar

to Trudy and Ray. I wonder what they're

going to call it. The tadpole and tiger

amphibian and agap panther.

>> You do know agapanthus is a flower, not

a big cat.

>> Yeah, it's word play.

Felix.

>> Nice one, boss. Come on, Felix. Hands

behind your back.

>> Okay. Okay.

Who's me?

>> Me? What? I killed them. I killed them

both.

Familiar.

>> It's mine.

>> But you didn't use this to kill Andre or

your mother, did you?

I know from experience that cutting a

wire with this Well, the knife comes off

second best.

Just like catching the joint of a bone.

I bet the tool would be a a pipe cutter.

That's right.

>> Andre took everything.

He sucked the oxygen out of a room.

Everything had to be about him.

>> Hey, poor Malaysia's there, right? Not

going anywhere.

>> That's what you said last year and the

year before.

>> Well, I got to make money, honey.

>> I couldn't stand it.

I couldn't stand watching him trample

over people.

Cutting the kill line had a wonderful

sense of irony about it, I must admit.

Is that make sure it passed the safety

checks easy enough when you know how. It

was the computer that I was worried

about. Would I get the opportunity to

turn it off?

>> You don't come here making demands.

>> I wouldn't have to if you paid your

bills. I'll pay when the job's complete.

>> And in a cruel twist of fate,

they took care of that for me.

Really, I should have done them both at

the same time. But I guess I thought

with him gone, there would be more space

for me. Wrong.

>> I wish it was you instead of Andre.

>> If anything, it was worse. She never

loved me, never valued me.

Can you imagine what that's like?

There was a certain symmetry in killing

them both with the same weapon.

>> Where did you dispose of the pipe

cutter, Felix?

>> Bike Park.

I was drunk. I jumped on my bike and my

legs just took me.

>> Can you be more specific?

The dance with the devil run a

get special search up there.

So

>> what happens now? Someone here to see

you. Sena,

>> you wanted to do some prints?

>> Uh, that won't be necessary.

>> We've made an arrest.

>> Who?

>> Felix has confessed

>> to both.

>> Yes, to both homicides. We're taking a

statement now.

>> Whoa. Uh, I guess that makes sense.

Is he all right?

>> As well as can be expected.

>> So, what do you need from me?

>> Nothing at present. We'll need you at a

later date for the court case.

>> Of course.

Sorry about that. That was Grace.

Does she

think I'm a monster?

She seemed to take it in her stride.

Does it matter what she thinks of you?

>> Not really. No. I mean, she's just a

good sort. That's all.

>> Are you in love with her?

I can see how that could happen.

>> She was the only one who listened.

The only one who saw me.

You did it for her.

That cheating lying bastard didn't

deserve her.

Did she know how you felt?

Yes, but it wasn't like that.

I saw her coming out of your room the

morning your mother died.

She needed comfort.

>> So did I.

Did

>> you sleep with her before or after

killing your mother?

>> After.

You do realize it's not a traditional

way to begin a relationship.

>> It was a one time thing.

>> But it was worth it.

What did you use to stick the safety

handle back together?

>> How do you mean to pass the safety

checks? The handle had to appear

operational. What did you use?

>> It all happened so fast. I don't really

remember.

>> Get a 101 out on her vehicle. On it,

>> Kristen.

>> Mike, you've got to look at Grace.

>> Grace. Yeah, thanks. On it.

>> She's changed her flights. She's heading

to India and then on to Nepal. But her

check-in time is in less than 3 hours.

There's no way that she can make that

flight if she's driving.

>> If she's driving.

>> Thanks, mate. I know's a bit out of your

way. Really appreciate you doing this.

>> All good.

>> Let's go.

>> Just waiting on one more.

>> This is a private booking.

Mind if I tag along?

>> Detective Shepherd. Yeah.

>> Ah, career service is terrible. Faster

to get it to the lab for DNA testing by

hand. Of

>> course. Lord Marrier.

>> Seat belt

>> off somewhere.

>> Uh, India then Paul. You said the case

was closed. Said you didn't need me.

>> The booking was made before Felix

confessed. I just made the booking after

I spoke to you.

>> Not according to Detective Sims. So,

from my point of view, it looks like

you're trying to do a run.

>> Felix confessed to both homicides. He

had motive. His story made sense. The

way he did it, how it all unraveled,

and the details were true, which made it

very convincing.

Except it wasn't him, was it?

You used his feelings to get him to take

the route for you. Clearly, you'd spoken

at length. How you cut the kill line,

stash the pipe cutter in the waste water

part. Only there was one vital piece of

information you forgot to tell him.

>> What was that?

>> What held the safety handle together to

pass the safety checks.

Nicotine chewing gum. Dries hard. It's

the only detail Felix didn't know.

It's with CIA being tested as we speak.

I understand why you did it. You just

snapped. After all, you were burnt out.

Forced to leave your job, prone to

irrational decision-m.

Despite his charm and charisma,

Andre was a terrible boyfriend.

Worse than being unfaithful, he was

abusive.

Nothing I've heard. Quite subtle,

really.

>> Better be.

>> Just a little reminder who was boss, who

was in charge, keep you in your place.

>> Must have knocked it on a branch.

>> Easy enough to cover when you play so

much sport. Turns out the damage was

more than skin deep.

And then there was Lorraine.

>> Lorraine, get away from me.

>> There was no love loss between the two

of you. That was clear. But by then, it

was more than that. You're an adrenaline

junkie. You needed your fix. Extreme

sport wasn't cutting it anymore.

>> The power you felt after killing Andre

gave you the same endorphin rush you

were addicted to.

>> So, you did it again.

>> Are you all right?

>> I was feeling overwhelmed. I took a

pill.

>> You've made out it was the pills that

made you all zenike, but it wasn't.

>> You'd had your hit. It all fits.

Adrenaline addicts crave danger. They

seek out intense sensation without

regard for physical and social risk.

There's a thin line between normal and

pathological behavior.

And you cross that line.

>> It's completely subjective.

>> Your prince will be on the pipe cutter.

>> Actually, that didn't contain the pipe

cutter. There's an old pair of scissors

from Kristen's desk. And we have enough

to convict you from the DNA off the gum.

It's over, Grace.

>> It was like living with Frankenstein and

the monster.

>> Close the door, Grace.

>> They deserved it.

>> Please close the door.

Grace,

don't. No.

>> So, what am I being done for exactly?

>> Accessory after the fact at this stage.

Why'd you take the rat?

Did she press you?

>> No.

That was my idea.

I loved her.

I would have done anything.

Get in the shower now.

Now,

>> I couldn't see her wasting away in

prison just because my family were a

pack of hyenas. And

>> then I turned off the computer while

they were fighting

>> for that one beautiful night. She made

me feel whole.

I'm not surprised she jumped.

She was too full of life to spend it

behind bars.

Well done. You can chalk that one up.

>> Nothing to do with me.

I left the inquiry, remember?

Oh, and the uh SSG found this at the

bike park just on dusk.

You okay?

>> I've had better days. Paperwork's going

to be horrendous.

>> Is he why you don't date anymore?

>> Please. Broken woods jean pole is

somewhat limited.

>> Guy who tailor is pretty hot. He has a

partner and a baby on the way.

>> Actually, that's his sister.

>> Do you know he's Jared's brother's

cousin?

>> Brother's cousin? How does that work?

>> Don't ask me.

>> Is it time?

>> H

>> I think so. Yes.

Happy belated birthday.

>> You didn't have to.

>> I know.

>> She chose it.

>> He can keep an eye on you guys when I'm

not here.

>> Right. Come on. Spill.

>> How old are you?

>> Fear.

>> Spear.

You've got tears

only.

>> Yes.

>> Miles off.

>> Did you work it out?

>> Nothing so scientific. I took odds.

Brain took evens.

>> Hey, I just realized something.

>> You're the same age as my dad.

>> Good night, brain.

>> Good night, boss.

Ding dong.

[ __ ] in the well. Oh, morning.

>> God bless Eevee.

>> Good morning.

>> Good morning, Mr. Timson.

Little Johnny.

>> Morning, Eevee. Hello, Bear.

>> Hello, soldiers.

Mr. Schuler.

>> Mr. Schuler,

>> don't shrug, Eevee. It is unladylike.

That man is late again. Remember, a poor

work ethic is a sign of immorality.

Now, it is a big day. We must always

look our best.

>> Yes, Mrs. Hmore Brown.

Vic Seymour

Vicer, YOU HAVE LEFT GOD'S WORD ON YOUR

DOORSTEP.

HEAT.

HEAT.

Always

meant to visit this place. I used to

come here with my dad on the school

holidays. I wonder if they still do the

horse and buggy ride.

>> Given the nature of the call out, there

could be some irony to that sign.

>> Good, Detective Shepherd.

The dynamic duo strike again.

Gina, bright and early.

>> I have always wanted to visit this

place.

>> Me too.

>> Oh, maybe we could look around together.

>> Maybe work to do first.

>> Of course.

>> Thanks.

>> Victim to Miss Charity Heiml Brown. It's

the owner and manager of the village

>> and the school mistress

>> on live days. Yeah. Gave the kids of

today the scary old school experience.

More irony,

a message perhaps.

So must have been the slow learner's

class.

>> Maybe he did it.

I've always had a thing about

mannequins.

>> Pretty obvious cause of death on this

one, Gina.

>> Not necessarily.

Sometimes the obvious hide something

more sinister

>> that has been cut with something.

>> Yeah, hunters do that to make it easier

to transport their kill. An arrow was

barbed. It's impossible to pull out

without damaging the beast.

>> So, Charity, why were you hunted down?

What are we thinking?

>> She walks in,

opens the window.

It's an arrow to the head.

>> Arrow could have been fired from any

number of places out there.

>> Which suggests that whoever had charity

in their sights must have known that she

would open that window as opposed to any

of these others.

Get all available units to begin door

knocks in the surrounding area. There is

someone running around with a bow. They

must have been spotted.

>> We can assume then that the person knew

her routine that she would open that

window.

>> Exactly.

>> Was that Froto's gone up in the world?

>> This your van?

>> Oh, hi. Yeah. Yeah, it's mine for sure.

Totally. It's part of my fleet.

>> Fleet? How many do you have?

>> As of now, just this one, but I'll be

expanding. There's money in ice cream.

>> You should uh move your fleet along.

>> What happened in there?

>> Hunting accident.

>> So, there won't be any public visiting

today until the crime scene is cleared.

>> Time to round up the usual suspects.

I'll deal with the next again.

>> Right. Let's get through this lot. Doing

the grunt work. I'll be the boss.

>> While we wait for that day to come, we

could order a chop dip with nuts and a

flake.

>> Gina, this is Deborah Yich. Uh Deborah,

this is Dr. Kadinsky.

>> Hello.

Yes, that's my sister Janet.

>> Janet, not Charity.

>> That too, but her real name was Janet.

Plain old Janet Tucker. Though that was

never good enough for her.

>> This is Charity High Brown.

>> Yes.

What happened to her?

>> She was hit in the head by an arrow. An

arrow.

How strange.

>> Please,

>> when was the last time you saw your

sister?

>> Some time ago. We weren't close.

>> Would you know of anyone that would want

to harm him?

>> It wasn't an accident then.

>> Uh, doesn't seem that way.

>> Like I said, we weren't in close

contact.

Can you tell me why did your sister want

to change your name?

>> Charity Himl Brown, 49 years old, owner

and general manager of the Brokenwood

Historic Village.

>> Also the local representative of the

Historic Places Trust, known to be a

stickler for preserving heritage

buildings.

>> Her next of kin Deborah Yelich explained

that her birth name was Janet Tucker.

But as soon as Janet was old enough, she

insisted on changing her name by

Deadpole

>> to Charity High Brown

>> to Charity. Then when she met her

husband, David, well, she couldn't

believe her luck. She became Charity

Hymore Brown.

>> Interestingly,

David Hymore Brown disappeared a little

over 7 years ago. Charity reported him

missing when he failed to return from a

walk along Brokenwood Beach. An

extensive search revealed nothing and it

was rumored he had in fact walked out.

The coronial report mentions a note

addressed to charity turned up in the

mail.

>> I couldn't be myself. I couldn't be your

everything. This better I become nothing

at all. Yours all at sea of pedal steel

guitar. It could be a country lyric.

>> Do we know what he did? Did he write

mills and boon?

>> A conservator. He worked at the village

restoring interiors to their original

state.

More extensive searching turned up

nothing until some of his clothing

washed up at the beach, but his body was

never recovered.

>> The coroner deemed it death by suicide.

>> He kills himself. She gets an arrow

through the head.

>> An exciting marriage.

>> Oh, this was found around her neck.

padlock, maybe small cupboard door

>> or the key to her heart. Oh,

>> that definitely needs some pedal steel

guitar.

>> Witnesses.

>> Uh, Eevee Neber was believed to be the

last to see Charity alive, but she was

too upset to talk. Maybe you could bring

her in a little bit later. Of course.

>> I spoke with Wally Seymour.

I saw Charity enter the schoolhouse. I

thought after a while she was taking a

long time. Charities was a woman of

strict routine. You see,

I was the one who found her.

Charity.

>> Call an ambulance. The police help. Call

an ambulance. Help.

Who would do such a thing? This is a

colonial village, not the wild west.

>> I talked to Jack Schuler, the

blacksmith.

>> Didn't see anything. Head down, ass up.

Getting my smithy ready for the day.

>> I also spoke to Katu Taylor, who was set

to work his first live day as the Marty

postal runner.

>> What are they?

>> Well, in colonial times, Marty knew all

the roots. though were paid to run

between settlements carrying mail

between postal depots.

>> So you saw nothing suspicious?

>> I didn't see anything suspicious because

I was in Moto Poor Hut feeling like the

token moldy. I knew this was a dumb

idea.

>> Patrick Timson is the postmaster. He was

in his kiosk prepping his Franking

machine.

>> The historic village has a unique

postmark. Posting letters even in this

day and age is very popular with the

visitors.

Patrick said his post office is one of

the busiest attractions.

>> I guess that makes him postman Pat,

>> but only if he has a black and white

cat.

>> Other witnesses?

>> Oh, Billy Franks and Nigel Medlock were

in their tent cleaning their musketss.

>> We can reload in 40 seconds.

>> Yeah. Powder horn to compression.

>> Okay. Can you point that thing somewhere

else?

>> Sorry,

Senior.

I will find out where this came from.

>> So, you saw Mr. Timson in the post

office?

>> Yes.

>> But Mr. Schuler wasn't in his blacksmith

shop.

>> No, I went Mrs. Hymore Brown was grumpy

because he's always late.

And then what happened?

>> I dropped off my milk at the general

store. When I heard Mr. Seymour, help.

>> Call an ambulance.

>> Everyone came running.

>> Calling an ambulance. Help.

Help.

It's so horrible what happened because

Charity was such a nice lady almost miss

cooking in her house.

>> Nice and slow to get an even peel. Well

done, Evie.

>> Evie, when you say her house, you mean

the museum house?

>> That is her house. That's where she

actually lived.

in the museum.

>> Charity was quite eccentric.

>> Perhaps you could show us what you mean.

>> Sorry. Chasing out a stray chicken.

>> Oh, can I help? I love chasing chickens.

>> I can manage. Thanks all the same. If

you need anything, I'll be in the

office.

This is her room. This is an exhibit.

>> We want to see where she actually lived

>> in here. That's her bed.

>> Like I said, totally eccentric.

>> So, she actually lived her life as if

she was in 1861.

Tina

didn't know you're into hunting.

>> There is a lot you don't know about me,

but today I'm doing research for Mike.

>> Guess I could say the same. We should

compare notes.

>> I don't think so. My research and your

research are very different.

What can you tell me about accuracy?

>> Depends what you're after. Uh, hunting,

recreational, sport, field archery. It's

bow for every occasion.

>> Murder,

>> mate. This whole shop's packed with

potential murder weapons.

Not that I've ever sold anything.

>> No, I'll take your word for it.

>> Could this have come from here?

>> No, I don't sell those. More for uh

accuracy than heavy kill. But these

days, you can order all the stuff

online. Seriously, I wouldn't ever

actually.

>> It's okay.

>> I mean, sometimes I think about it.

Yeah, there's a really annoying

customer,

but I've never actually

>> Tony, you should stop now.

>> What is the difference between these

types?

>> Ah, right. Compound bow versus recurve.

So, as you draw back, uh, the pressure

relieves on the hand, but it's still

held within the string. saves the archer

from tiring when firing arrow after

arrow

>> and improves accuracy.

>> Maybe I'm not an expert. If you want

more detailed info, you should approach

the archery club down the domain. Woman

who runs it is an ex Olympian. Deborah

Yellish. Yeah, that's her. Just missed

out on a bronze.

>> Seriously, I wouldn't ever.

>> Thanks, Tony.

Wally,

did you uh find what you're looking for?

Huh?

>> The stray chicken.

>> Oh, yes. Well, no. They're a nuisance,

but hardly worth bothering about under

the circumstances. Can I help?

>> Uh, we're curious. How long did Charity

reside in the homestead?

>> Maybe 8 years. They moved in shortly

before her husband left her.

>> Left or went missing? The detail hardly

matters. Suicide amounts are the same

thing. His charity was heartbroken.

>> We note that his death certificate was

only recently issued after the statutory

7-year period.

>> Yes.

>> Did you notice anything different in her

demeanor when that came through?

>> I think it gave her closure. Actually,

we had a little ceremony.

>> And so we remember David missing in body

but not in spirit.

Thank you, Vicimo.

Being laid to rest here would have been

a special honor for David. He put so

much work into the place. This village

meant so much to him.

>> Means so much to her.

>> We don't know he's actually dead.

>> Awkward.

>> Patrick, come on, man. Patrick, after 7

years, even I have to accept it is time

to move on. David made his choice,

something that was out of my control,

and the result is that he is dead.

Unless you know something I don't,

>> no,

>> he's dead, Patrick.

>> That's right. David is gone. We must

move on.

Wally, you're not an actual vicer, are

you? Oh,

>> no. Like everything else here, we

>> pretend.

>> Evoke? We evoke the past.

>> You are paid, though.

>> Well, charity provided a basic salary

for me as caretaker and Patrick as head

conservator. The rest are volunteers.

This place has always run off the smell

of an oily rag.

I'm not sure we'll survive this.

>> One more thing. Now, just before you

discovered charity, a witness saw you

walking towards this office holding your

cheek.

Had you hurt yourself?

>> No.

>> As a result of a struggle, perhaps?

>> No. If I had, I think I'd have

remembered that.

Is that all?

>> Yes. Thanks.

Charity was clearly a complete eccentric

with an absolute passion for the village

>> which is on the brink of insolveny.

>> Could she have offed her husband to keep

funding the dream?

>> Look into the life insurance situation.

When the sun goes down, ask your name.

It's your love drove me insane. And I

ain't got you. Ain't got you no.

>> Hi there.

DC brain broken with CIB.

Oh, right. Um,

is Deborra about?

>> Beautiful day.

>> Hi.

>> Sorry, Mr. Bing.

>> Yes,

>> Deborah.

This is my husband, Ron. He uh suffered

a severe stroke many years ago, so he

doesn't speak. All

>> right. Sorry.

>> But he loves it out here in the fresh

air watching. Don't you love

Thanks for coming down and uh congrats

on your Olympic record by the way. It's

very impressive. Yeah,

>> fourth is a hard one to celebrate,

especially as the bronze went to a woman

from Barus. Knowing what we know now

about their sporting tactics, well, go

figure.

>> Still, the Olympics, that's a massive

achievement.

>> It's a long time ago now.

What do you want to know?

>> David Himl Brown's life was never

insured. So with no life insurance, his

death and the subsequent certification

seven years later would have been of no

financial benefit to charity.

>> No motive there then. Perhaps it was

suicide.

>> Although to commit suicide and never

have your body found takes a high level

of planning

>> or good luck.

>> Do you find Deborra Yelich to be quite

staunch?

>> Nice work.

>> Not really. Pulled to the left

>> still. That's amazing. Especially

given you lost your sister earlier

today.

>> I've had enough tragedy to call myself

an expert.

My sister is dead and I am sad about

that.

When I'm sad or have things I need to

work through, I shoot ends.

>> Ends.

>> Ends. Groups of arrows.

This is a quiver. This is a bow.

Really? What else can I tell you?

>> You mentioned a list of your club

members.

>> Why exactly do you need that?

>> As you know, your sister was killed with

an arrow to the head.

>> So, you assume it must be someone from

this club.

>> We are focusing our lines of inquiry.

That's all at the stage.

What can you tell me about this?

It's a small broadhead

>> used in sports archery.

>> Hunting, I believe.

>> Do you hunt?

>> No.

>> But, uh, firing a sports arrow and a

hunting arrow would be much the same.

>> Like I said, I don't hunt, so I wouldn't

know.

>> Can I email you the list?

>> Sure. Thanks for your time. Oh, uh, for

the record, where were we just before

10:00 a.m. this morning?

>> This morning I was picking Ron up from a

spike here.

Yes,

>> sorry. What's it What's he saying?

>> Uh, my husband wants to go. He's getting

cold.

>> I'll get you that list.

>> I couldn't help think he was trying to

say something else. I'll follow up the

rest by place to verify her movements.

>> Fair enough. After all, our champion

Archer's sister has ended up with an

arrow in her head. Can't be that simple.

Okay. Now,

>> what we know so far, we have a broken

arrow, a key, a dead husband, and a tiny

window of time between Eevee seeing

Charity alive here and being found dead

here by Wall-E. A maximum of 5 minutes.

Most likely she was shot through the

window from a hidden vantage point

somewhere around here.

>> But where did they disappear to?

>> And what did they do with the weapon? A

bow is difficult to conceal. It's hard

to leave the scene unnoticed.

>> They did stash it somewhere. It would

seem very out of place.

>> Dogs couldn't get a scent, which clearly

suggests

>> the perpetrator didn't leave the scene.

Brian, I cited the visitor's log book.

Deborah Yelich signed her husband out at

9:30 yesterday morning. It's at least a

30-minute drive from this place to the

historic village. We know time of death

occurred just before 10:00 a.m. I reckon

we can count her out.

>> Got it. Oh, and meet me at the village.

>> Thanks.

>> Deborah Yelich was across town at the

time of death.

>> Okay.

We know from Eevee that postman Pat was

in his kiosk

and Billy and Nigel were in the same

place when Eevee talked to Charity here

and when Wally sounded the alarm here.

They never left their position. They can

be discounted.

Eevee said she saw Wally here heading

away from the schoolhouse, but then he

reemerged from the schoolhouse. Where

was he in the interim?

>> The other person we can't account for is

Jack Schuler, so I'll follow up with

him. And something that Kahu Taylor said

needs clarification.

>> As for me, I'm off to play bows and

arrows.

>> That's 40 m

and

I like the sound effects. Oh, thanks.

But according to Deborah Yoich, anyone

less than skilled loses basic accuracy

over distances greater than 25 m.

>> So, we're looking at an expert.

>> What about the members of her archery

club?

>> They'll check out. None of them were

near the place.

>> Let's try that one. According

to a witness, you weren't in your smithy

just before Charity was killed. So,

we're keen to know where you were.

>> Witness Eevee Neber.

>> There were several people present around

the time

>> I was there. I remember Wally sounding

the alarm.

>> Call an ambulance. The police help. Call

an ambulance.

>> So, maybe Eevee was mistaken.

>> And where were you just prior to that?

>> I don't know. Around getting things

done. There's a lot to organize on open

days

>> around. Can you be more specific?

>> Why? Because a kid might have been

mistaken. For all I can remember, I

might have been in the bog.

>> It was only yesterday.

>> What' you have for dinner last night?

>> Uh, there you go. It was only yesterday.

I got to go. Busy day.

>> Ah, for the record, I was a curry luxer.

>> Good for you.

doesn't give a clear vantage point to

the school.

>> It's not easily accessible either. And

if the killer walked out of here with a

bow, surely they'd have been seen by

someone.

What?

>> Holy mother of

>> I was doing maintenance and I couldn't

resist. Am I too young to have a heart

attack?

>> As far as practical jokes go, it's an

oldie but a goodie. Gets people every

time.

>> Yeah. Well, yep. You got us.

>> You curate the exhibits, Patrick?

>> Yes. I specialize in the models, the

scenes, artifacts, restoration. It's

delicate work, but very rewarding.

Do you think we could use one of these

mannequins?

>> What for?

>> A measurements.

>> They're incredibly fragile.

>> It's about position. I mean, once in

place, they wouldn't need to move.

>> Their clothing is ornate and antique. No

one touches them but me.

>> Sure. Um, you supervise.

>> Which one? here.

>> Cahoo.

>> Detective Sims, what can I do you for?

>> Just wanted to clarify something you

said in your witness statement.

>> Huh?

>> You said that you were inside your Rao

hut when you heard the alarm being

raised. So,

>> well, a witness has you emerging from

the side of your hut.

>> You doubting me,

>> Cahoo. I need to be clear. It suggests

that you were returning from somewhere.

>> I was.

>> Okay. From

>> I was returning from behind the hut.

>> What were you doing there?

>> Hiding

from charity.

Stalking on my mobile phone and it which

she specifically banned.

>> Who are you talking to? My sister.

>> I was telling you how much of a dick I

felt.

>> But you must have known that you had to

dress up. Why did you agree to do it?

>> Told you.

>> For the money.

>> There must be flushing toilets for the

public, so they need to be maintained.

>> Well, I'm up for it.

>> Up for it? What? Are you a helium

balloon?

>> Our last native left. Would you like to

act as our Mari Merrunner every fourth

Sunday in public holidays? Did you just

say native?

>> Yes. Well, you are, aren't you?

>> Oh, please. I won't be laid siege by the

politically correct brigade. Here it is.

1861

in this village. We reflect attitudes.

We don't rewrite them.

>> Do you want the contract or not?

>> I wish I had the guts to tell her to

stick it. Now I won't get the chance.

Little more to the left.

>> She was shot through the window then.

>> Seems that way.

>> It would take some skill. Presume you're

aware Charity's sister's into archery.

>> We do know that. Thanks.

We also know she was across town at the

time of the incident.

>> Turn it just a little bit more. A

>> little more.

>> Better.

>> Yeah, that's it.

>> Any more and it won't line up with where

she fell.

>> Patrick,

what's in the scrub over there?

the ces pit or something

used to give off a bad smell in the

public complain. Charity made it out of

bounds years ago.

>> I wouldn't go in there.

>> Wally. Hello. Why is that? The ground is

believed to be unstable.

>> Thanks for the warning.

>> Please be careful.

>> What is this, Wally? I believe it's an

old awful pit from when the land the

village was built on used to be a farm.

>> When was this?

>> Charity's father bought it back in the

early '7s.

>> Any idea where there might be a key?

>> No. Probably still with the previous

owner. It's not something that gets used

as part of the village experience.

>> Sims,

I need you to bring something down from

the station. Roger that. They're ASAP.

>> Doesn't fit.

>> I'll grab the bolt cutters from the car.

>> Is that entirely necessary? By the looks

of it, that padlock is antique. This is

a museum after all.

>> Grab them. Thought you said this area

wasn't part of the museum experience.

>> Well, YES, BUT

MIKE,

>> you all right?

>> I think I hit my leg.

>> Don't move anything.

>> Hello.

Detective Shepherd, how's the pain

level?

>> No pain.

>> Well, the good news is you've managed to

evade serious damage.

>> It looks a little serious.

>> It's a hairline fracture of the tibia.

>> That's the bad news.

>> No, the bad news is you need to keep

your weight off it for the next 2 weeks

as the healing process gets underway.

>> As in no walking.

>> As in no walking. And it has to be

elevated to reduce swelling. The sooner

the swelling recedes, the sooner you can

get back to work. I'll organize a

wheelchair. Back soon.

>> Hi. Did she say wheelchair?

>> Ah, probably an overreaction.

>> Does it hurt?

>> No pain.

>> Got to love good drugs.

>> Prescription. It's a hospital.

Now we've established that you're not a

recreational drug user.

>> What's the latest? Uh,

>> the human remains are with Gina. I'll

head down there next.

I mean, you can't obviously be there, so

I'll

>> It's okay, Sims. I'm under the gentle

influence of opiates.

Clearly, you need to take the lead while

I'm out of action.

>> Oh, you want me to?

>> Yes. As of now, you are the acting boss

of the Broken Wood CIB.

>> Wow. Okay, good. Great.

>> Awesome.

>> But I want to stay across everything.

>> Oh, of course.

Oh, and while I think of it,

>> I'll notify the coroner and let him know

what we found.

>> Yeah, we'll um leave you to that.

>> Uh Wally Seymour was very antsy about

that awful pit. Perhaps he knows more

than he's letting on.

>> Got it.

>> Get that ice cream now.

>> Simon, I hear you took a crash course in

speliology doing a spot of caving with a

friend.

>> Something like that. Excuse the pun, but

the old bones aren't what they used to

be, huh?

>> It's nothing serious.

>> What? So, your Bobby back on the beat

already?

>> Uh, not exactly.

>> What have they got you on? Tramodol,

>> apparently.

>> Do I need to send reinforcements?

>> Uh, Detective Sims is taking the reigns.

>> Good opportunity for her.

>> It's only my leg. I can still think

>> on Tramodol. You'll be thinking you're

lying dancing with purple elephants.

>> Sing out if I can help.

>> Thanks.

So, you have a promotion.

>> I am the OC on this. Yes. Good for you.

Thanks.

So, um, why the sheet? Skeletons deserve

modesty as much as anyone because they

are very exposed.

I expect the cause of death will be

difficult to ascertain given the passage

of time and decay.

What little tissue that has remained

will be sent for testing. We'll see. I

already know by the shape of the pelvis

this is male. But what's most

interesting is this small hole in the

side of the scalp.

Bullet wound.

Bullets usually leave an exit wound.

There isn't one. The other unusual

thing, if you looked more closely, is

that the wound is slightly square.

Bullet entry holes are round. You didn't

notice that.

>> Well, not at first, but now

>> you can tell so much about the person by

their skeleton

>> such as

>> he was a torture saw, a man with

secrets.

You can tell this how

>> tension in the jaw and see here the

shoulders

punched secrets and tension

Mike would have noticed that Mike's not

here. I know

John Doe has to be David Hymore Brown.

>> Given the state of him, we may never

know.

Gina seems confident.

She really doesn't like me.

>> Oh no, she really likes Mike. There's a

difference.

>> Assuming it is David Himmore Brown, what

does that tell us?

>> He was hiding from Gina and got locked

in

>> or charity.

>> But the head wound suggests he was

murdered rather than starved to death.

Right.

>> Motive wasn't money.

>> Accidental. Hid the body.

>> Maybe. But how would that be connected

to her death?

>> Maybe they're not.

>> You're with Debra Yelich tomorrow.

>> Yeah, Mike wanted her expertise to look

at firing angles in the village. That

got interrupted when he attempted his

journey to the center of the earth

routine.

>> Yeah. After that, follow up on any

grievances people might have had with

charity over her involvement in historic

places.

>> Yes, boss. Do I have to call your boss

now?

>> No. Feels weird.

>> Is this some kind of sick joke?

>> No, not at all. We need your expertise

to narrow down the possibilities of

where your sister's killer may have been

situated.

>> You're insinuating I killed my sister.

>> No,

we know for a fact you were across town

picking up Ron.

The forehead is an incredibly small

target.

>> So, you'd need to be closer.

>> Put it this way. If I was that good, I

would have won gold.

Perhaps you should be looking for

someone from Bellarus.

>> What's that?

>> Nothing. Is

>> he laughing at your joke?

>> No, it's time for his physio

appointment.

And I wasn't joking, Detective Brain.

From here, whoever they are, they're a

crack shot.

>> You all right?

>> Yeah.

>> Home sweet home.

>> Oh, okay. Allow me.

>> I got it.

>> You're a natural. Huh? Not a skill I was

aiming to perfect.

>> So, uh, I have the latest edition of the

Broken Wood courier and

a gift. Great indoor fun according to

Breen.

>> Thanks. I appreciate it.

>> Great. So, anything else you need before

I go?

>> To be kept informed.

>> Right. Uh, well, specialist search are

down the awful pit now, looking for

anything that might explain the hole in

John Doe's head. So, I'll keep you

posted.

>> Nothing else.

>> Um,

Gina mentioned something about John Doe

holding tension in his jaw like he was

keeping a secret.

>> Yeah, I think she misses you.

Rest up.

Do I have any choice?

>> You're quite sure you wouldn't have the

key to this?

>> If I had, I would have furnished him

with it yesterday. How's he doing, by

the way?

>> Uh, fine. So, no idea then who might

have the key.

>> No.

Do you know when we may be able to

reopen? It's my desire to keep up

charity's good work. Uh perhaps tomorrow

when the specialized search group have

finished their work. I need to have

another look around.

>> Oh uh anywhere in particular?

>> No.

>> Good morning.

>> Good morning.

>> Oh, Patrick. Sorry I didn't see you

there. Good morning. Oh, actually it's

um afternoon now.

>> Do you know the identity of the corpse

yet? There's a rumor it's David Heimmore

Brown.

>> Well, it's still too early to say, but

um I take it he was a friend of yours.

>> Sure. I knew him. He worked here. He was

part of the family.

>> Well, we um hope to know more soon.

>> Do you always wear those outfits even

when the place isn't open?

>> Yes, when on site. Charity insisted. I

guess it's a way of honoring her legacy.

>> Kristen,

>> I'm lying on Charity's bed, which is as

hard as nails, by the way.

>> Okay. trying to imagine why you would

choose to live in a world with zero

modcon, surrounded by relics and dusty

curtains,

>> with only a weird doll for company.

>> The Victorians weren't known for their

excess.

>> Oo, avert your eyes. It's cooler.

>> I'm in a nicer drawer.

Quiet.

Kristen.

Kristen.

Sims.

>> I'll call you back.

>> Sims.

Charity rubbed a lot of people up the

wrong way over her zealous attitude to

historic buildings. Her view was pretty

much if it's old, it's gold and

shouldn't be touched.

>> So, there were numerous people with

grievances,

>> but none more so than Deborah Yalich,

>> her own sister.

>> 5 years ago, there was a massive court

case over the development of the old

Savings Bank

>> on Tealing Street. Yeah, Deborah and her

husband bought it with an eye to convert

it into like a funhouse arcade kind of

game zone for kids.

>> Charity would have loved that,

>> right? So, under the opaces of the

historic places trust, she opposed it on

the grounds it would demean the

building's inherent and historical

integrity

>> and charity one. Bring Deborah in for

another chat. Red

>> dental records for David Hymore Brown

are a match for John Doe. So we have a

double homicide on our hands.

Detective Simon,

>> are you sitting in my chair?

>> Um,

>> how did you

>> You answered my phone.

>> Developments.

>> Last time we talked, you were delving

into Victorian underwear.

>> Well, your friend down the hall is David

Hymore Brown. Think we can rule out

suicide as it's difficult to jump down

an awful pit and lock oneself in from

the outside?

>> No cause of death yet?

>> No. But Charity's keychain has unlocked

a box from her dresser.

Contains love letters. All signed by

Waldo Seymour, Esquire.

>> Wally Seymour was in love with Charity.

>> Oh yes, and then some.

>> Right.

Might give a motive to knock off David.

But why would that make him want to kill

charity?

>> Yeah, I don't know. But one quote reads,

"Your rejection is like an arrow to the

heart."

>> Okay, that might do it.

>> I take it you were looking for this the

other day rather than chasing chickens.

>> You were in love with charity.

>> Well, are you?

>> If only you knew. The stars align and

twinkle a little brighter as you walk

by.

>> And she appreciated literature,

>> Wally.

>> Yes. All right.

I was in love with her completely. But

it was unrequited. Completely from the

get-go.

>> Well, I have to say you were persistent.

There's 7 years worth of correspondence

here.

Oh, come on, Wally. 7 years is the

length of time her husband's been dead.

>> How long prior to his death had you been

in love with Charity?

>> It was after he left. Never before, I

assure you.

>> And did she ever write back?

>> A few times. Long epistles, but never

saying anything I wanted to hear.

>> I'll need to see those.

>> That would be difficult.

>> You destroyed them, didn't you?

>> Burnt them. Childish, I know, but there

you go.

In one letter, you said like an arrow to

the heart. And what did you mean by

that?

>> Just words. Silly words.

>> Did you miss and hit her in the head?

>> I had nothing to do with her death.

>> Well, David's.

>> Not David's.

>> Have you ever used a bow and arrow?

>> I can't believe this.

>> Wally?

>> Yes. Once. It was part of a village

committee team building exercise.

>> Team building doesn't sound very

Victorian. There have been tensions in

the committee.

>> Now, last item on the agenda, standards.

They have been slipping, particularly on

live days. Yesterday was unfocused,

particularly you, Mr. Schuler. Always

late, being far too casual. I'm

>> sure people in the 1860s were late

sometimes. It's authentic.

>> Nonsense.

>> Well, hang on, Charity. I've been late a

couple of times.

>> Yeah, me too.

>> I know. And it is unacceptable. The

public come to this village to believe

they have been transported back in time.

It is all of our responsibility to help

them suspend their disbelief.

>> People are tired. Charity,

>> a work ethic is what sets us apart from

animals.

>> You know what they say, all work and no

joy makes Jack a dull boy.

>> I hardly think you lack joy in your

life, Mr. Schuler.

Perhaps uh we do need a little bit of

fun.

>> Yes, a a team building exercise to to

rally the troops.

>> Paintball,

>> laser strike,

>> modernistic travesties. Not in the

spirit of our precious era at all.

>> Archery.

>> Yes.

>> We could spend the afternoon down the

archery range. Perhaps your sister could

get us a deal.

>> It was Jack Schuler's idea.

>> It was

>> When was this? Three weeks ago, after

Dave's unveiling, we headed to the

domain. It was actually jolly good fun.

>> Well done. Well done.

>> It's harder than it looks.

>> Are you sure these arrows don't have

bins in them?

Well done.

>> Charity.

>> Your turn.

>> No, thank you.

>> Don't let me put an apple on your head.

Do the whole William Tell thing.

>> Come on. I'm getting better.

>> From what you described, you were a

crack shot.

>> Beginner's luck.

>> Just before Charity was killed, Eevee

saw you walking away from the church.

>> And yet, minutes later, you discovered

Charity in the schoolhouse. What were

you doing in that time?

>> Oh, I was sitting on the steps of the

chapel learning a new hymn when one of

my sideburns came unstuck.

I went back to the office to glue it

back on.

>> You've just remembered this.

>> Yes. It's been a difficult time.

>> Thanks, Willie.

Why can't they see

that it's holding me?

>> Only me. Don't get up.

>> This is Marlo.

>> Lasagna. Italian food has healthgiving

properties. Look how long those handsome

Italian men live for. You have a little

Italian in you.

>> Not that I'm aware of. Well, never too

late to start. Now that lasagna is truly

Bellissimo.

Any development on the Highmore Brown

case?

>> Early days.

>> I knew her quite well, you know, through

the sewing circle. Her needle work was

topnotch.

>> Interesting.

>> Her name wasn't Charity though. It was

Janet Ducker.

>> Yes, we had established that. Such a

tragedy that she and David never

conceived.

Such a shame to be wanting a baby and

never to have that desire fulfilled.

They didn't try adoption.

>> Oh, well, he had died, you see, and she

wasn't the single parent type.

You know, in my younger days, I was a

nurse. It's a truly rewarding career and

a great way to see the world. Anyway, I

am fully qualified to give you a sponge

bath or attend to any needs.

That's very kind. I should be fine.

We put all our eggs into one basket with

the savings bank development,

mortgaged ourselves heavily,

but by the end of it, the building was

worth nothing because there are so many

caveats on it. No one else could develop

it.

We'd invested everything,

lost it all.

>> That must have been incredibly

stressful.

like he wouldn't believe.

Ask Ron.

>> Ron,

I can't.

>> Stress can trigger a stroke. In Ron's

case, it was massive.

>> That must have made you feel very

>> angry.

Yes, I'd admit to that.

It'd be fair to say that I hated her for

many years after that

by her arcane, intrusive view of the

world. She was a ridiculous woman.

But I didn't kill her.

>> Here you go. One frozen Froto and one

Froto fudge packed with chunks of

natural fudge.

>> Thank you.

Froto,

>> how's it?

>> This isn't really an appropriate spot to

ply or trade from.

>> Just trying to make a buck.

>> I know, but this area needs to be kept

clear for those in need of police

services.

>> Jeez, I just got here.

>> Sorry.

>> Do you and Detective Shepherd want a

frozen Froto before I pack up?

>> Um, couple of points. Uh, one, that

could be seen as bribery. And two, Mike

isn't here. He's laid up at home. Broken

leg.

>> That's got to suck. I know a bit about

banging up your leg. I could give him

some advice.

>> Maybe you can focus on moving your van.

>> Oh, hey. You want that ice cream now?

>> You know, Deborra Yell.

>> Nah. Potential customer though.

>> How long have you been parked here?

>> I told you only a couple of minutes. And

I'm moving. Okay, I'm moving.

>> No, wait. So, when did you offer her an

ice cream?

>> That lady the other morning out on

Sullivan's Rice. She had a flat tire I

was passing and offered to help.

>> Need a hand, lady?

>> No thanks. It's under control.

>> Was help on its way?

>> Already there. Some boat.

>> Her husband. That man in the wheelchair.

>> No, no, he wasn't there. Some other

dude. We're

>> all good here, mate. You don't want to

buy an ice cream?

>> Perhaps another time.

>> I could do a two for one.

>> Mate, we don't want an ice cream.

>> What morning was this?

>> The other one. You know, the day you

fell showed up at the historic village.

>> Yeah. What time?

>> I don't know. Oh, yeah. No, it was 9:30.

I remember cuz I was trying to get out

there in time to set up for the live

deck. Could have been big business, but

it wasn't as it turned out.

Mr. Schuler,

got a minute.

>> Well, detective, I had 15, but 13 were

taken up on two cigarettes and a cup of

tea. So,

>> so I have two. Great. Charity Himl

Brown.

>> What about her? You didn't like her very

much. Would that be fair to say?

>> She didn't like me. That would be

fairer.

>> You were on the village committee.

>> No thanks to her. She tried everything

she could to get me off it. But last

time I checked, we still live in a

democracy. Others like me there.

>> If tensions were so high between you

two, why didn't you just leave?

>> I'm the blacksmith. Where else would I

get a chance to practice my skills?

Who wants a lucky nail then?

>> Me.

I learned how to run a forge from her

father years ago and I love what I do

and I intend to pass it on to the next

generation.

Otherwise, just dies, right?

I wasn't going to let charity bully me

out of that place.

>> You felt bullied.

>> All I'm saying is that she didn't have a

monopoly on the past, though she'd like

to think that she did.

Her father would turn his grave with the

way she took the fun out of that place.

>> We done here.

>> Almost.

A witness mentioned you helping Deborah

Yell change a tire in the half hour

before you turned up at the village on

Sunday.

>> I was helping a damsel in distress. So

what?

>> The witness didn't mention seeing

another car in the vicinity. So were you

on foot when you came across this

damsel? Deborah dropped me off at the

village.

>> Is that because you don't have a car?

>> Well, that's unusual for a mechanic.

>> I have a car.

>> So,

is there anything more you'd like to

share to clarify your whereabouts?

>> I was going to the village. I helped

Deborah change a tire. She dropped me

off.

Nothing more important to say.

>> You sure about that?

>> 2 minutes are up.

This means that Deborah Yelich was on or

around the premises at the time Charity

was murdered

>> with a hell of a motive.

>> To avenge her husband's plight.

>> But she signed Ron out at 9:30. It's at

least a half hour drive to the village

and Ron wasn't in the car. How does that

work? Well,

>> she can't have been in two places at

once. Check with the respite facility.

Someone's lying.

Detective Shepherd

>> Frodo.

>> Hey, heard about your accident. Thought

you'd appreciate a Froto fudge. It's

high in calcium, so it has healing

properties for bones.

>> Thanks.

>> And

one of these.

Years ago, when I shot up my foot, I had

this cast like yours. got a bit mankey

and itch like crazy, but the old arrow

is great for hard to reach places. And

that little feathery bit just feels so

good when you hit the spot.

You all right,

>> Frodo? Do you know how charitymore Brown

was killed?

>> Oh, should I?

>> She was hit by an arrow between the

eyes.

>> This is a bad look then.

How much do you know about hunting with

a bow?

>> Never have. Um, not much.

Except after my accident, I moved to a

bow. I thought it might be safer, but I

couldn't hurt anything, so I just went

back to my gun.

>> Do you still have your bow?

>> No.

Yeah, but I never use it.

>> Okay, thanks. SSG have found something.

Any

idea what that is?

>> See that? It's a J. J for Jack Schuler.

I think it's time we search a smithy.

>> Okay. What are we looking for?

>> A key.

>> Adverts.

>> Tell me if

>> Yes.

Because it is slightly tapered as the

tissue around the skull decayed, gravity

would have released it and it fell out.

What kind of nail is it? It's a handmade

4-in colonial nail,

otherwise known as a lucky nail.

We need to clarify exactly when it was

that you picked up your husband, Ron,

from the Respite facility on Sunday

morning. Around 9:30, I think.

>> Yes,

>> that's what we thought, too.

>> Until a witness placed you on the other

side of town around 9:30.

Oh, I must have been mistaken.

Maybe it was later. It's been a lot

going on. Interestingly, it was actually

a whole hour later that you picked up

Ron.

>> Weirdly, you still signed the register

as 9:30.

I admit I missed it at first, but hey,

there's been a lot going on.

You signed it as 9:30,

even after those before you clearly have

times, let's say 10:00 a.m., 10:10,

10:20, and 10:30.

And you have to admit it's a strange

mistake to make.

Was it a mistake or an effort to conceal

your whereabouts at a certain time?

I

>> Perhaps it was the flat tire that got

you confused, made you late, flustered.

Flat tire

out on Sullivan's rise.

>> Could I get a glass of water?

I have information for the officer in

charge of the Hymore Brown case,

Detective Sims.

>> She's conducting an interview.

>> She can't be disturbed.

>> I'll pass it on.

>> It's okay. I think Mike will understand

it better anyhow.

Thank you,

Jack Schuler. And I have an arrangement.

>> Yes, I suppose you could call it that.

>> And how long has this been an

arrangement?

>> Maybe 18 months.

Things in that department have been

non-existent since Ron's situation

changed.

>> I presume it's not something you shared

with others.

>> Absolutely not. Discretion is everything

to protect Ron.

>> I'm guessing Charity got wind of it.

Yes, she did. And she didn't approve.

Not that it was any of her business.

>> But it explains why she was so dark on

Jack.

>> You'd think after everything she had

done caused that she could have had some

semblance of a heart to allow me a few

moments of happiness.

>> Did you and Jack Sherlock inspired to

kill Charity?

>> No. To punish her for causing Ron's

stroke.

This may look bad.

You may wish to judge,

but I did not kill my sister.

>> Thanks for your time, Deborah. Goodbye,

Ron.

>> Hello.

>> Hi.

>> Mrs. Schuler, come through.

>> Look,

the thing about me and Deborah

is that I can make her happy.

And that is a good feeling.

>> It's win-win.

>> Very much.

What's the big deal?

>> Deborah wasn't clear about where she was

in the time leading up to Charity's

death.

>> She was covering. She was being

discreet. She's done nothing wrong, but

she feels awkward about it.

>> From the time Deborah dropped you at the

village and Wally Seymour raised the

alarm. Your whereabouts is unclear.

>> Why? I was walking from the car park to

my smithy. Yet, strangely, no one saw

you.

>> Patrick did.

>> Good morning, if you say so. Patty,

>> we will have to verify that.

>> Knock yourself out.

>> You ever hunted with a bow, Mr. Schuler?

>> Is that what this is all about?

>> It's a simple question.

>> I'm a man. I live in Brokenwood. Most of

us like to go up to the ranges and hunt.

>> Please answer the question.

>> No, I haven't.

But in the interest of being

transparent, I admit that I've used the

rifle. I scuba dive. I spear fish. I've

even been to the archery range. I flew a

kite once when I was 7 years old and

caught butterflies.

Are we finished?

Recognize that?

>> It could be one of mine.

>> If you look closely, you'll see a

punched J near the head. J for Jack.

your signature.

>> So, it is one of mine. I made hundreds

of them, if not thousands. Where'd you

get it?

>> We found it.

>> Lucky you. It's a lucky now.

>> We found it next to the resting place of

David Hymore Brown.

>> That's a hole in his skull.

>> What? And we found this in your smithy

>> brain

>> fits the padlock that secured the awful

pit where Mr. Hymore Brown was found.

>> It's a bloody setup. Any idea how it got

there, Mr. Schuler?

I want a lawyer.

>> Smartest thing you've said all day.

Mike, hello. How are you feeling? A

>> little static. Apart from that, you

bosched.

>> It has amazing healing properties. I

will heat it up for you later.

Also, Mike, I bring you something

interesting.

I have been running field tests.

The humble pumpkin is the best for this

because it has a similar density to the

human skull.

Okay, that's very diligent.

>> Of course, ballistics are running their

own tests, but between you and me, they

are very slow.

50 m, 40 m, 30 m. Here, the arrow that

penetrated charity Brown was fired from

less than 20 m.

>> That's close.

>> Maybe even closer.

>> Thanks, Gina.

Is there anything else you want from me?

>> There is one thing.

>> Nothing is a problem.

And I have other news.

>> I get that we have circumstantial

evidence, but we're lacking motive for

Schuler knocking off David Hymore Brown.

>> I know, but we have motive and

opportunity for him on Charity.

>> Then again, so does Wally Seymour.

>> Wally was frustrated by Charity

rejecting him.

He kills her and pins it on Deborah by

using an arrow because well maybe he

knew Charity disapproved of Deborah's

morality. Even in killing Charity, he

wanted to impress her.

>> Okay, that's interesting. If slightly

wiggy.

>> Come on. A lady who insists on living

like it's still 1861. All these people

are from Wigsville.

>> We keep digging before Dennis Buchanan

helps him walk.

Mike.

>> Sure.

>> Someone's been busy.

>> Where'd you get that?

>> Gina dropped by asked if there was

anything I needed.

>> Well, generally the reply would be

paracetamol or a cup of tea.

>> What's wrong with the top half?

>> Got it.

>> So,

where are you at?

Jack Schuler is the prime suspect for

the murder of David Hymore Brown. One of

his lucky nails was found to have

penetrated David's skull and the key to

the padlock was found in his smithy

>> motive.

>> We're still trying to establish that.

But we now know that Jack had the

opportunity to kill Charity and a

motive.

>> That being

>> he was in a relationship of sorts with

Deborah Yelich

>> and Deborah has a long-standing

grievance with Charity. So, we're

thinking that Jack or Deborah exacted

revenge and either way, one of them is

covering for the other.

>> Nice work.

>> Thanks.

>> The only problem is David Hymore Brown

wasn't killed by the nail

>> stricken

>> extremely high levels. If he had been

killed by the nail, then the stringin

would have had no way to be absorbed

into the body's tissue.

>> So, he was killed by the poison. The

nail came after.

Damn. I thought we were on the right

track.

>> Sometimes we take a step in the wrong

direction.

>> Well, at least you didn't fall down an

awful pit.

>> Oh, you know the worst thing about this.

>> Dennis Buchanan.

>> The nail was circumstantial.

The key was circumstantial. There was

zero motive.

>> Seems your case, Detective Sims, is more

hotier than a blacksmith bellows.

My client and I will bet you a good day.

Oh, good luck. I think you'll need it.

>> Stricken,

it's so old-fashioned. Why bother?

>> Because it's so very Victorian,

>> meaning charity.

>> Absolutely. But she wanted to kill her

husband but insisted like she did in all

things on doing it in keeping with the

era that she so dearly loved.

But the question is why?

Why did you want to kill him? We have to

understand why.

Only me. How's my wounded officer?

>> Ah resting and recuperating. So I see

you've been busy. Uh, was going to bring

me flowers, but I thought people might

talk, so it's Irish whiskey instead.

>> I presume this has healing properties.

>> No idea, but it tastes great.

>> I would pour you a drram, but it seems

you're on duty.

>> Just thinking progress.

>> Getting there.

>> Is Sim stepping up?

>> Above and beyond.

>> Hello, Froto.

>> Frankie ODS, area commander Simon

Hughes. Uh, I can come back.

>> No, it's fine. I asked Froto over to

demonstrate his bow,

>> which, as it turns out, is a crossbow.

>> Nice. Do you mind? I've used these a few

times on hunting trips. They can bring

down a deer, but not a pig.

>> I only used it a couple of times. Could

never hit anything.

>> Quickman always blames his tools. It's a

nice piece, though. Nifty, too. Good for

moving through the bush without

snagging.

Unfortunately, they lose accuracy after

about 30 m, especially with wind

factors. But deadly accurate at short

range

fact

in here with no breeze. You could put

that on your head and I could split it

from across the room. William tail

style.

>> What? Blindfolded?

>> Not sure. Game to try.

I should get going.

No, that wasn't posted from here. When

we issue mail, he gets a special Frank.

That's the whole point.

>> But you would have delivered it to

charity being the postman.

>> Detective, nothing here is real. On live

days, we stage mail deliveries. But it's

not real mail. A bonafide piece of mail

such as that would have been delivered

to the office via a real mail person.

where Charity would have picked it up.

>> Or Wally,

>> just before Wally raised the alarm on

Sunday, did you see Jack Schuler walking

past here?

>> Yes. Yes, I did. He was in a hurry. Late

as usual.

>> Okay. Thanks.

>> The body you found was David's.

>> Yes.

>> There's talk he had a lucky nail in his

head.

That is true, but it it it didn't kill

him.

>> The coroner has reopened the case. The

details will be clarified soon.

>> You believe Charity killed him, don't

you?

>> If she did, it's unclear why. I mean,

there was no insurance, no obvious

benefit.

>> Could I read it?

>> Um,

>> I presume it's David's suicide note,

judging by the date it was posted.

This is police property and private to

the high grounds.

>> They're both gone now. What difference

does it make? Everyone here at the

village was left wondering and charity

was never forthcoming.

Couldn't be myself. Couldn't be your

everything. It's better I become your

nothing at all. I was all at sea.

Couldn't be your everything.

>> Do you know what that means?

>> I need to dispose of the shellac.

>> They couldn't conceive. It's very

important to charity.

>> Did they try all avenues? IVF etc. IVF

isn't very 1861. Charity like things to

be authentic.

Year of people getting knocked up after

one night in a nightclub. Others spend

years trying everything. Sometimes it

can be as simple as a lack of will.

>> But not with charity.

>> That letter wasn't written by David.

>> Calligraphy is too perfect. David was

dyslexic. He never would have managed to

spell better with two T's.

>> You seem certain. You

>> work closely with someone, you notice

things.

Sorry, David. Settlers has two T's and

no Z.

>> You do it then.

>> So, here you go. If the police had shown

me that letter 7 years ago, would have

saved us all a lot of time.

For all this paranoia,

this frozen Frotos ain't too bad.

want a lick?

>> I'm good, thanks.

David Hymore Brown's suicide note was

posted 2 days after he went missing. And

Patrick Timson believes it's not even

his handwriting.

How did that get missed in the initial

investigation?

>> Who was OC?

>> Gary Mloud.

>> Oh, Gary was never famous for dotting

his eyes and crossing his tees.

>> Well, that's the other thing. Postman

Pat says that David was dyslexic. He

definitely couldn't have written that

note.

>> Charity.

So she knocked him off.

>> Question remains.

>> Why?

>> Why?

>> Why indeed,

>> sir? Oh,

>> you don't need to stand.

>> Didn't take you long to move in. And

clearly progress must be good if it's

time for dessert.

>> It was just looks tasty. Frozen, is it?

>> Uh, yeah. How did you

>> I just met Mr. roads with Mike just

checking on his status.

Thought I'd pop in here and see how you

were doing.

>> Good.

Some strong leads. I I think we're on

the cusp.

>> Good then.

Let me know if you need any extra boots

on the ground.

>> I will.

>> Careful, Bren. There's a drip. Get it on

your suit.

>> Did that just happen?

I so need a coffee. A strong one.

>> Hi. Hi.

>> Uh, can I get a long black, please?

>> Coming up,

>> Detective Sims.

How are we today?

>> I'm good, thank you. Mrs. Marlo,

>> call me Jean, please.

Rodriguez is a marvelous barista. He

comes from Costa Rica, you know.

>> Oh, the real deal, huh?

>> Oh, what that man can do with the coffee

bean?

>> I hear David Hymore Brown has at last

been found.

>> Yes. Was an axe in his head, was it?

>> Not exactly.

>> Oh, well, that's a relief, really.

>> You're thinking it was a hate crime?

Well, aren't all murders based in hate?

>> Not always. Some are based in passion.

>> That's true.

>> But with the highore brands, I don't

think there was a lot of that. I always

thought that was why they never

conceived.

It's what happens when you marry to

acquire a fancy surname rather than for

animal attraction.

>> Double shot, half soy latte, no sugar,

double foam.

It's me. Thank you.

>> Oh, dear Bloom. Hello,

>> Detective Sims.

>> Oh, I just wanted to run something by

you. Uh, theory.

>> Ah, police business. I should go. Best

wishes, Detective Shepherd.

>> Thanks. And thanks for the flowers.

Ciao.

>> Uh, Neil,

>> did you know David Hymore Brown? Uh,

>> no. I can't say I did. Uh, he kept to

himself, I believe.

>> So, you wouldn't know if he was gay.

>> Why do you think I would know that?

>> You're Broken Wood's first gay mayor.

You're a trailblazer

>> and a member of a secret society.

>> Oh, sorry. I didn't mean

>> That's fine. But if David was gay, I

can't see that working with charity. And

she was an old-fashioned priish woman.

Although, I do remember a time when I

thought she seemed surprisingly

progressive. Vote for me is a vote for

equality and honesty.

Thank you.

Ah, charity. Hello, Eevee.

>> Hello, Mr. Bloom.

>> Would you uh like a flyer?

>> No, thank you, Mr. Bloom. And Eevee

won't be needing one. She's not of

voting age.

>> Oh, your sort of politics is not welcome

in my village.

>> Oh, I see.

Well, I have to say your village is

looking impressive these days.

>> Thank you.

>> Yes, I particularly like the modern

touch in the ideal Victorian family

diarama.

>> Is this supposed to be funny?

>> You didn't organize this.

>> Of course not.

>> Oh, but you were acknowledging Rainbow

Week.

>> This is some sort of sick joke. Please

avert your eyes, Eevee.

>> I like the rainbow. I think it's nice.

They didn't have rainbows in 1861.

That's exactly what she said.

>> Mhm. So, Progressive Charity was not.

Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't be more

helpful.

>> No, you've been very helpful. Thanks.

Things are starting to make a lot more

sense.

>> I'll leave you to it then.

>> What is your theory?

>> Well, it's hinged off something Mrs.

Marlo said. It's what happens when you

marry to acquire a fancy surname rather

than for animal attraction.

>> What if

Charity killed her husband David

because,

as it transpired, he was homosexual,

a notion which directly contravened her

Victorian values.

We know from Kahu Taylor that she was

racist and deference to the era.

>> Our last native left

So no doubt she harbored homophobic

fears as well. And why else would David

have suffered strickening poisoning?

>> A Victorian method of murder for a

Victorian transgression.

>> Right.

David's failure to out himself earlier

deprived her of the chance to have

children.

She was left with a doll in a cot

>> and a burning anger at having her

maternal rights thwarted.

>> She knew she couldn't kill him with a

nail to the head. She had to

incapacitate him first.

So she poisoned him over dinner.

>> And here

I find

>> she knocked a nail into his head.

before dumping his body down the pit and

locking the lid.

She hid the key amongst Jack Schuler's

belongings as an insurance policy should

David ever be found. And she didn't like

Jack. He wasn't one to tow the line.

I know it sounds extreme, but it's the

only thing that can explain all of this.

>> So, whoever killed Charity was avenging

David's murder.

Now, we're getting somewhere.

>> From what we know from Frodo, Deborah

Yelich, and Jack Schuler arrived at the

village just in time for opening. They

can't have changed the tire at 9:30 and

got there and executed Charity because

Patrick was at the kiosk and saw Jack

just before the alarm was raised.

>> Which leaves the question, where's Wally

in all of this? Last seen by Eevee

heading this way away from the

schoolhouse, then returning to his

church.

>> I thought after a while she was taking a

long time. Charities was a woman of

strict routine. You see,

>> he had time. He was placed to do it.

Yeah, but why would he kill a woman he

was so completely in love with?

>> He was avenging David's death as a

friend or a lover.

>> Oh, hardly a lover given his fid,

painfully heterosexual attempts at love

letters to charity.

Wally says he was on his way here to

glue his sideburn back on. Oh, he's so

daffy. I think he probably was.

Patrick Timson, on the other hand,

given he was in charge of the diarama,

he must have been responsible for the

rainbow gesture.

>> Maybe he was David's lover.

>> And if he was, perfect cause to avenge

his murder.

Except he didn't know it was murder.

>> Otherwise, surely he would have spoken

up to the police.

>> If the police had shown me that letter 7

years ago, would have saved us all a lot

of time.

Unless he had only recently discovered

it was murder.

But he was in the kiosk at the time that

charity was struck. He couldn't have

been in two places at once.

Maybe he did it.

Bring Patrick Timson in. Get to the

village. I need you to check on a couple

of things.

>> Wait, but it can't have been Patrick. He

was in the post office as witnessed by

Eevee. She saw him,

>> but did she?

>> You think she's lying?

>> No, but I think Eevee didn't see

Patrick.

>> Just to be clear, we have no witness, no

murder weapon, just a theory.

>> It's always the best way.

I wish I could be there.

Is something wrong?

>> There are a few things I need to run by

you.

>> Charity Hymore Brown was a woman steeped

in routine. As she walked into the

schoolhouse, she walked past the

headmaster. She had no reason to think

twice.

She opened the window and then she

turned and saw the message on the

blackboard.

But the headmaster wasn't the mannequin.

>> It was you standing in wait.

>> Oh,

>> there was no long-distance marksman. Was

near Point Blank. Full force and deadly.

She falls to the ground in such a way

that it looks like she's been knocked

flat from an arrow through the window.

>> You cut the arrow to disguise the fact

it was a crossbow bolt. and to hide any

DNA on the fletching.

>> And I did all this while in the post

office.

>> You weren't in the post office.

>> But you have a witness.

>> Yeah. Mike found it.

>> When Eevee Neber walked down the path

just prior to seeing Charity outside the

blacksmiths. She must have triggered a

sensor that played a recording of

>> Good morning.

The same that played accidentally, I

presume, when I visited you yesterday.

>> Good morning.

>> Good morning.

>> Oh, Patrick, sorry I didn't see you

there.

>> These senses aren't uncommon in museums.

They add ambience, atmosphere,

>> and provide alibis if necessary.

>> That's right. Patrick

was nowhere near the kiosk when Eevee

passed by.

Mike, the postmaster has made it home.

And yeah, he looks a lot like Postman

Pat. Good. Get to the schoolhouse.

>> This is quite an elaborate theory.

>> It was quite an elaborate plan.

>> But if it were true, surely someone

would have seen me carrying this

preposterous crossbow weapon thing away

from the crime scene.

>> Not necessarily.

You need to take off his clothes.

>> You do remember I have a thing about

mannequins. Be brave.

>> You then climbed out the opposite

window.

>> You then skirted around the perimeter of

the property to return to your kiosk.

Almost sight unseen.

Almost.

>> Morning. If you say so, Patty.

Just in the neck of time.

>> Charity.

Oh god.

Help. Help. Call an ambulance. The

police. Help.

>> I understand you want to lay blame on

someone, but you have no evidence.

Where is this medieval weapon in the

shaft of the arrow?

>> Right where you left them.

The nifty thing about that model of

crossbow is that with a little

modification, it fits the dimensions of

the human torso. Their clothing is

ornate and antique. No one touches them

but me.

Well done.

>> Why?

Cuz charity took away the one thing I

truly loved.

>> You do it then.

Shh.

Come here, you silly thing.

David was my everything, but he

struggled to be his true self.

Such a waste.

When did you know Charity killed him?

>> I always suspected.

David told me that he finally confessed

to Charity about his sexuality.

The next day, he disappeared.

With talk of suicide, I thought, "Damn

you, David.

You damn coward.

But it never sat right.

As years went on, I started doubting

more and more. And then at the

unveiling,

>> he's dead. Patrick.

Then at the team building exercise, I

got my inspiration.

Your turn.

>> No, thank you.

>> Well, then let me put an apple on your

head. Do the whole William Tell thing.

>> Why didn't you come to the police with

your beliefs?

>> Would it have brought David back?

>> She tossed him down that awful pit like

a dead animal.

>> You could have got justice through the

courts.

>> I have justice.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Stone cold.

Dead

>> Mike.

>> Well done. No witness, no murder weapon,

just a theory.

>> We found the murder weapon.

>> And if we hadn't,

>> you would have thought of something.

Like I said, it's always the best way.

>> Goodbye

all you dealings.

The cold ones.

Unbelievable.

What a lot of good you are, man.

Bastards.

There you bastard.

Tiger locked in.

>> Fire.

>> Reckon you got him? Awesome.

>> Reload.

>> Surrender.

>> Surrender. You'll get another one.

Wait, is that

runer run?

I only shot him once.

>> Honest.

>> We didn't know it was Mr. Henderson.

>> Not that that would have killed him.

>> Oh, we'll have to leave that to

forensics.

>> Hey, obviously they thought it was an

actual scarecrow.

>> I'm sure.

>> It's all good, boys. Stop.

Not just speaking the birds, Philip.

Can't be comfortable, mate. Let's hope

you're already dead before they tied you

up there like that.

>> I think he was dead. Yes. before he was

tied to this steak. Look, it's a very

little blood where the skin is broken.

>> So, what killed your fellow?

>> I will answer that in good time. Mike,

>> do you know I was talking to him? Not to

mention who?

>> That's your job, not mine.

>> Oh, just saying.

>> What?

>> What?

>> You're just saying what?

>> Nothing.

>> I thought so.

>> Follow me.

Have you uh checked him out yet?

>> Doug Randall

and his loco misses. Pretty poor, don't

he? You know what I mean?

>> You all right there, Teddy?

>> Oh, you okay there, Doug?

>> You have some information that might be

relevant?

>> Yeah, maybe. But not here. I want to put

myself in harm's way, do I? Yeah, you

should get him home. I'll be by later

for a witness statement. Thanks, guys.

>> Let's go.

>> There'll be quad bike tracks, I reckon.

Key still in the ignition. Make sure the

whole area remains cordoned. Get

forensics all over it.

>> Let's check the house.

I remember Philillip from the Dun case

of a player if I recall rightly.

>> You might be surprised.

>> You know her.

>> It's Dalia Fryberg. She owns a Sage

Locust.

>> Oh, the raw foods place. H

think she stole heart. She'll be

devastated.

>> Last supper

>> breakfast.

>> He made his own honey.

>> No signs of a struggle or distress.

>> Oh, finally family.

>> Is he a twin?

So, he could have been dead before he

was tied to the stake.

>> According to Gina's initial thoughts,

yes. Therefore, his death could have

been accidental.

>> Yes. But nothing about that suggests

accidental.

>> So, until we know exactly what killed

him, we're treating this as a homicide.

>> Absolutely. Because whoever trust him up

like that was sending a message.

>> The occupational risks of being a

scarecrow.

>> Generally, a very high mortality rate.

That much we know. But

for whom was that message intended?

>> Other than the birds, who else was going

to notice a scarecrow?

>> Nobody, but a neighbor.

>> The father of the kids who found

Philillip.

>> He indicated he had some information to

share about Philip's neighbor on the

other side, Doug Randall.

>> Information.

>> He wouldn't talk to me in front of Doug.

He was worried about Doug and his quote

loco wife. Trudy Nielsen is the publican

of the total lion.

>> Ray Nielson's sister. Oh,

>> scariest mine host I've ever met.

>> Tough nut. All right.

>> What does Doug see in her?

>> Question might be, what does Trudy see

in Doug?

>> Waiting for him to die inherit the farm.

Classic gold digger.

>> I'm having trouble seeing Doug Randall

as a gold mine.

>> Okay, tomorrow I should get time of

death if not cause out of Gina. Talk to

Tamati. see what he's on about.

Background, the deceased. Who stands to

profit from Philip's demise? Might be a

question worth asking. Who inherits his

property? Does he have any family still

alive? Ex-wife, partner, children, twin

brother, sisters. Right. What about this

fishing line, I reckon, when it's not

being used to tie corpses to stakes?

Surf casting or fly? Who makes it? And

ask them for any DNA on it.

>> Every time I think of you, you get a

little smaller.

Sun's getting the shadows.

>> All I know is there was a major

disagreement between Doug and Philip day

before Philip was found.

>> How major?

>> Major was less major probably would have

said minor.

>> Okay.

>> Suppose you want to know what it was

about.

>> That would be helpful.

>> Well, I didn't hear it myself.

>> Who did? He wouldn't thank me for

saying.

>> So, aren't your wife then?

>> Oh, no. My wife's dead. Oh,

>> okay. Did your witness say what the

disagreement was about?

>> Nope.

Could have been any number of things,

though.

>> Was a lot of Radu go down here. Just

quietly.

>> Radu,

>> disagreements, aggro. What about

>> stuff?

>> Can you be more specific?

>> Yeah, I'm not going to though. Too much

to lose.

>> Was there bad blood between Philip

Henderson and Doug Randall?

>> Yeah, you could say that.

>> What about between you and Philip

Henderson?

>> Oh, no. Philip wasn't the problem.

>> Who was?

>> Look, I probably said enough. Like I

said, it's too much to lose. But I

really need to know.

>> Well, I think you'll get a shock.

>> Try me.

>> No. When I connect this here to that

fence, that wire you're leaning on is

going to give you a shock.

>> Right.

>> I got to move my stock. So, uh,

>> yeah. Well, I'd like to pick this up

later.

>> Yeah, sure. Knock yourself out. Not

going anywhere.

>> Is there any bad blood between you and

Doug Randall?

He was poisoned.

>> The indications are there. Whether it

was deliberate, I don't know. He might

have ingested a toxin of some kind.

>> You mean something he ate?

>> Maybe.

>> And then tied himself to the steak and

made out like he was a scarecrow.

>> That depends how badly and how quickly

he was incapacitated by the toxin.

>> That was a joke.

>> I know.

Don't give up your day job, Mike. The

life of a comic is hard. In Russia, it's

a fine line between comedy and death.

Most comedians end up in jail.

>> What kind of toxins?

>> I'll send blood and tissue samples to

the lab and we wait for the toxicology

report.

>> Time of death.

>> Difficult to say precisely. Yeah, but

roughly

>> judging by his stomach contents, no less

than 8 hours before he was discovered

>> and as much as

>> perhaps 24 hours.

>> What was in his stomach?

>> It looked like bread, whole grain, and

quite a lot. If toxins didn't kill him,

then maybe too much fiber.

>> H

Sims. Well, Tony Taylor says that Doug

Randall and Trudy Nielson are the

neighbors from hell.

>> They should be called the Vandals, not

the Randals.

>> Why? What they do?

>> They're selfish. They take advantage of

whatever's around, whatever situation.

>> Take advantage like

>> Well, they stole my damn queen.

>> What?

>> I keep bees. Look, those two are made

for each other. Doug and Trudy. The

toxic tusome.

>> He said that. Called them the toxic

tusome.

>> Yeah. Why? Gina's preliminary finding

was cause of death was poison.

>> Okay. Well, Tamdi says that Philillip

had a heated argument with Doug Randall

later that afternoon around 4ish the day

before he died.

>> What about?

>> Tammed didn't see it.

>> He knows someone who did. Who was the

witness? Tammed, look, we can do this

down at the station if you like.

>> My nephew heard something. He's fixing a

water pump over by the boundary fence.

Cahoo.

>> Cahoo. Taylor, get on to him.

>> Smokco.

>> Thanks.

>> Detective Sims.

>> Cahoo.

We meet again.

>> Uh, your uncle Teddy suggested I talk to

you.

>> Did you bring baking?

>> No.

>> We should learn the true definition of

smoker.

>> You know, I checked the jug on. owner

said it's cool and clean up.

>> It's quite a talent you have.

>> What?

>> Making instant coffee tastes like tea.

>> It's coffee,

>> right?

>> I use coffee definitely.

>> If you say so.

>> Tastes fine to me.

>> Yeah. No, all good. Can't wait to try

your baking.

>> I don't bake. It's not my thing.

>> When neither.

>> So, your uncle Tamty said that you were

working on the boundary water pump when

you saw Philip Henderson and the Randals

having some sort of disagreement.

>> She's got nothing to do with me.

>> What did you see in here? Cahoo.

>> Okay. I couldn't hear everything, but it

was pretty serious.

>> Come here, you bastards.

>> Philip was yelling at Doug and Trudy.

Bastards. You bastards.

>> What was the argument about?

>> I'm not totally sure.

>> Then Doug got out of the passenger side

of the unies right up in Philip's face.

Doug and Philip look like they're about

to have a real go until Trudy yelled at

Doug to get in. And then Trudy

threatened to run Philip over.

>> You sure?

>> Yeah, that bit heard, right?

>> You back off, Pencil Nickel. You'll be

roadkill.

>> Roadkill.

Next thing he's dead, right?

Philip's only next of kin is a brother

Thomas lives in the city. Put a call

through. He'd already been notified.

>> By who?

>> Don't know. Didn't say, but he's on his

way.

Okay. So, Gina is putting time of death

at between 8 and 24 hours before he was

found. That means he died any time

between that fight with Doug and say, I

don't know, breakfast the next morning,

>> which it looks as if he might have

eaten, dishes in the sink, toast.

>> So, we need to find out what Philip's

movements were over that period.

>> Late that night and early next morning.

>> Shouldn't be difficult.

>> Meaning,

>> well, lived alone, but never lonely, if

you get my drift.

>> Actually, he had a proper girlfriend.

>> What?

Like you? Not me, as it happens, but a

friend who was very close to Philillip.

>> Who?

>> Daria Fryberg runs the Sage Locust.

>> Uh, Raw Foods, lettuce, burgers, and

quinoa tea.

>> I'll follow up with her.

>> Uh, we also need to interview Doug

Randall, Trudy Neielson. See if we can

find out what that argument was about.

>> Yeah. And whether or not she made that

threat.

>> Bring them in.

>> No.

Keep it casual. Interview them

separately and compare notes. Bags. It's

not too Trudy.

>> Why? She'd give you the golly wobbles.

>> Sorry. Collie what? Doesn't matter.

>> Get to it.

Collie.

The first man

that I ever loved was

the first.

>> Hey Fia, it's me. I'm I'm outside.

>> Come in.

He was here.

>> Kombucha. Okay.

This one's brewed with water from an

island in Patagonia.

Thanks.

M.

Wow.

Uh,

so how are you holding up?

>> Yeah, I'm okay.

Well, not

okay.

Pretty awful to be honest. You know, I

believe everything happens for a reason.

I really do. But this

darling, I'm so sorry.

>> Yeah.

Yeah. And just when Philip was ready to

settle down, we had all these plans. How

long had you two been?

>> 8 months. But it was serious. We even

had rings made as a sign of our

commitment. No,

>> that's beautiful.

>> His is identical.

You know, we weren't into that whole

engagement thing.

I'm I know this is hard, but to figure

out what happened to Philip, we need to

trace what his movements were the night

before he was found.

He was here with me. We uh closed the

doors and pulled the curtains and had a

little celebratory dinner

celebrating.

>> It looked like the investment money was

in place.

>> Investment in

>> for our online organic store that Philip

would exclusively supply. So, we

share dinner and a bottle of Philip's

wine.

Um, this is a little bit awkward, but

we think that Philillip might have been

poisoned.

>> No way. Philip treated his body like a

temple.

>> I know, but the the dinner that you took

>> It was just a salad. Some leftovers from

the cafe and still fresh.

Wait, what are you implying?

>> We have to look at everything.

>> Well, I had exactly the same meal and

and he didn't show any signs of being

ill during the night. Far from it.

Philip was an incredible lover.

>> Right.

So, Philip stayed the night here with

you.

>> Yes. Upstairs in the apartment and left

uh just before dawn the next day to go

back to the farm. He um he always

started early.

Someone must have been waiting for him

there.

Philip loved me.

He really did.

>> If Philip ingested poison, it was

unlikely to come from the dinner he

shared with Dalia. He stayed the night

with her and showed no ill effects.

>> Performance uninhibited.

>> Yeah, far from it. Apparently, if he was

poisoned, it must have been something he

had for breakfast.

>> We're waiting on toxicology reports from

Philip's house.

>> Might take another look, see if there's

anything we missed.

>> Okay.

Just having a snoop, are we?

>> Thought we could have a chat about your

neighbor.

>> The gentleman farmer now deceased.

As little to do with him as possible.

>> You did have an argument with him the

day before he died.

>> Where'd you hear that?

>> Did you or didn't you?

>> I can see where this is going. I have a

go at Henderson and the next thing he's

found dead and I'm to be accused of

offing him.

>> So it did happen.

>> Weird words.

>> What words?

>> Accuse me of damaging his crops.

>> How?

>> What the hell do you want?

>> Your bloody spray drift is ruining my

crops.

>> Oh yeah, proof.

>> You're going to cost me my organic

certification. How the hell am I

expected to make a bloody living?

>> Is that why you haven't paid your term

at the pub?

>> That's cuz you're ripping me off yet.

>> Watch what you say to Ms. mate.

>> Bloody nerve. I got every right to look

after my land and try and earn a bloody

living, too.

>> So, what did you spray?

>> Haven't sprayed anything yet. Not this

season. Intending to.

>> Did you tell Philip that?

>> Don't know that ponson explanation.

>> Not now. He's dead for sure. But why let

him think it was you who did it?

>> I don't give a stuff what he thought.

>> Right.

>> If there was spray drift, it could have

come from anywhere within 3 or 4 ks of

depends on the wind.

>> He was angry. He was frothing. But you

got out of the car and confronted him.

>> Where you getting all this? Does it

matter?

>> No, cuz that's all you're getting out of

me.

>> What's that?

>> That's Trude's domain. You want to go in

there? Ask her permission.

>> No need to bother her.

>> Quick look.

>> You got a warrant? I'll get one.

She keeps a few hives. Bit of a hobby.

>> You leave the hives to her.

>> Oh, it gives her an interest. Me chance

to have a breather, if you know what I

mean.

>> Sorry. Oh,

>> you got a good woman of your son.

>> Yes.

>> Oh, lucky men then, aren't we?

Well,

>> birds and the bees. Some things in life

never change.

>> Can we just stick to the bees?

>> Bees? Yeah.

>> People think they're easy. They're not.

Prefer animals myself.

>> What's special about this one?

>> I don't know. Have to ask Truds.

Maybe it's dodgy or not Manuka. She's

always honoring me about Manuka. lowers

my cholesterol and all that nonsense.

Still not bad in whiskey.

>> The real deal.

>> Yeah, it's actually a great sideline for

Truds.

God knows she hasn't taken much else

around the farm.

>> No, no, she's hard yak at this land. Got

to work for every bloody scent.

>> So, Philip Henderson was really up

against it.

>> He wasn't a farmer.

>> What was he? There's a bloody town he

deb

from a hole in the ground.

If you're feeling lonely, if you're

feeling blue, mama's got a sweet thing

back at home for you.

I'll be a honey.

I'll be a honey girl.

>> Great healing properties. You look as

though you could do it, son.

>> Thanks.

>> What can I do you for?

>> Um,

>> thanks Ry.

>> No worries, Larry.

>> I I'd just like to ask you some

questions.

>> I'd like to in a lotto.

>> It won't take long.

>> Dies to clean.

>> Yeah.

Right.

Okay. Thanks, sweetheart.

>> That was Douggee. Those questions of

yours, he's just fielded them from your

offsider.

>> Well, I need your confirmations.

>> Then I'll confirm there's nothing more

to say.

>> But Douggee and me don't boil our

cabbage twice.

>> Smile, detective. Only happy bundle for

Toad and Ryan. It's an aspirational

experience.

>> Your sister's walking a fine line, Ray.

>> No, it's what she done.

>> It's more about what she hasn't done.

She just needs to help us with our

inquiries. We're not the bad guys here.

Look, all that macab stuff happening to

her neighbor, hell of a stressful. It's

enough to put even a tough nut like

Trudy on edge.

>> Let me talk to her. Her back's worse

than her bite. Honest

most of the time.

>> What I meant to say was that Douggee is

a real straight shooter and I endorse

everything he told you.

>> I understand that you made threats

against Philip Henderson that day on

your driveway.

Back off, pencil neck, or you'll be road

killed.

>> You didn't get that from Douggee.

>> Is it true?

>> I just wanted him out of our face. He

was never in any danger.

>> He was on our land blocking our

driveway, making false accusations

>> about what?

>> I'm confirming everything Douggee told

you. Okay, now that's it. I've got work

to do.

>> That's fair enough, isn't it?

Must be Philip's brother.

>> Easy deduction to make, even for a

detective. I assume that's what your

business is here.

>> There says Mike Shepard. Thomas

Henderson.

>> Unfortunately, Thomas, forensics haven't

finished with the house yet. Ah,

>> okay. You got a room in Riverston. Uh,

>> Broken Wood's closer.

>> They have hotels in Broken Wood.

>> Yeah.

>> And electricity, television, running

water, even.

>> I take it you didn't spend much time

visiting your brother here.

>> Well, I never got it.

>> Got what?

Philip shucking the city, moving here,

this whole farming thing.

Same genetics, me and him. Obviously,

same nurture, same school, identical

degrees in commerce.

>> Yeah, he was

mouldering away in the ws going organic.

>> While you

>> me,

>> what do you do? Tom, is it?

>> No, never Tom. Always Thomas.

So, Thomas, what do you do?

>> I am a matchmaker.

>> I work in finance. I bring parties to

tables, put deals together, make people

happy.

>> Sounds rewarding.

>> Very.

>> How did you find out about Philips?

>> His girlfriend at the organic cafe.

Dalia.

>> Dalia.

>> She rang me

>> yesterday.

>> Yeah. Well, I had uh some loose ends to

take care of, but I came as soon as I

could. So, I am here to take care of

affairs. Apparently, there's some kind

of memorial and uh and

I'll do what I have to do.

>> I understand you're only next of kin.

We didn't have much time for each other,

but there's no one else.

>> Do you want to see him,

Philip? His body's at the wall.

>> Do I have to?

>> No, we have adequate ID.

>> Well, then I think I will pass.

You're like looking at myself

dead.

>> Sweet darling, without you, it's such a

lon.

Thank you all so much for coming to

remember Philillip.

>> Unfortunately, he can't be here in body

because the pathologist is still

determining cause of death, but I'm sure

he's here in spirit.

>> It's like ghost. Sh.

>> Respect, boys. Sorry. I'm Philip's

brother. I am Thomas.

>> Oh my god.

I I mean, Philip never said that I He

said that you were twins, but on the

phone you sounded so different and I I

didn't realize

>> identical. Yeah, I'm sorry. I know I can

be confronting.

>> No, I'm sorry. You should uh

>> No, please. Please, Ethan.

Uh,

>> Philillip was considerate and and kind.

>> Uh, look, now's probably a good time. If

anyone else has got anything to say,

feel free.

Uh, Philip and I didn't exactly see eye

to eye that he was a neighbor. And if

neighbors don't look out for each other,

what have we got? Oh. Anyway, on that

note, I'd just like to say that uh Truds

has invited everyone down to the Toad

and Lion for a bit of a wake and Mrs.

Marlo over here has uh whipped up some

uh cheese rolls. So, if um anyone feels

like a beer, uh come on down. Everyone's

welcome.

>> Beats lentils down the sage locus.

>> They're just trying to get Philip's tab

paid off by his flash brother.

>> Have a heart, Taylor. The man's bloody

dead.

>> Dalia, um I'm sure it wouldn't be a

problem if I retrieve Philip's ring from

the Morty, but I could check it out with

Thomas. No,

>> that's no problem.

>> Sorry. It's just I

Well, I think it would be wrong to take

it from him, even in death.

>> Uh, can I grab a lift with you to the

way?

>> Yeah, sure. Thanks.

>> I must say I'm very surprised to see

that man here.

I mean, would you attend the funeral of

someone you'd so publicly attacked?

>> Really? at the Riverstone Farmers Market

this last weekend.

>> You're doing a roaring trade.

>> Can't complain.

>> You're saying all this honey is

organically grown, are you?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Well, does that mean that every flower

the bees are light on is organic? Is

that how it works?

>> Yes, sir. It is.

>> How do the bees know which Manuka

flowers are organic?

>> So, my farm is organically certified as

you well know. Oh, so these bees, they

know which trees are on your land, do

they?

>> What exactly are you trying to say?

>> Bees can forage for up to 3 km. I mean,

I mean, can you guarantee that they're

not going off your land onto say a

neighbor's non-organic manuka?

>> Philip said, as you well know, so he

knew it.

>> Oh, yes. I'm certain they'd come across

each other before. It's um true, though.

What?

>> That Philip Henderson was hung, drawn,

and courted.

>> Not exactly.

>> That's a relief really. It'll be a bit

messy.

>> Polyethylene, dacron, and daineema, also

known as UHMWP.

It's a monofilament made for fly

fishing.

>> Any DNA material? Too early yet, but

blood and scales are evident from brown

trout. Probably

>> did Philip fish.

>> Don't know, but I know who does.

>> The line I saw looked just like that

one.

>> Bring him in. Doug needs to explain his

movements in detail. He's at Henderson's

wave.

>> You're not heading down?

>> Yeah, Sims is on it.

>> You lost something? Yeah,

>> just looking for a message from a dead

man's finger.

H

>> your mom going to slow down a bit.

>> Why?

I hate this place. You know, she never

made us feel welcome here. She always

spoke to us as if she had a mouthful of

barbed wire.

>> I don't think you're alone in that.

>> She seemed to have something against

Philillip.

>> I heard mention of a unpaid bar tab.

Disputed, not unpaid over.

>> Doug's spray wre havoc. The unpaid tab

was a point of principle. It was small

change compared to the cost of

Philillip.

Now look at her playing Miss Generous

and sucking up to Thomas and that shark

Sinclair.

>> Dalia, you know, I was trying not to

talk business out of respect for

Philillip, but if you're talking to him

and our competition, then I won't be

left out.

>> Please. I'm sorry. I thought it was

crystal clear.

>> What?

>> Philillip is dead. There is no owl.

>> Yes, but

you own the farm. I can help you manage

it and we can still do the online

organic store.

>> Dia, I work in finance. I have

absolutely no interest in farming.

>> Hey.

>> Hey. Another beer, Jens.

>> Thank you. Here's trouble.

>> Dug about

>> was gone.

>> Back to the farm.

>> Maybe

bastards.

>> Okay. Why don't I make you a coffee?

>> You're a good friend, but you make

terrible coffee.

I made the mistake of thinking that

because Thomas looks like Philillip, he

was a nice guy. But instead, he's double

crossing me with corporate honey.

>> Larry Sinclair,

>> how can two men who look the same be so

different?

>> Yeah.

I want to know what happened to

Philillip. Who killed him? What killed

him? Why?

like to give that a try one day.

That's great for the soul. Well, it

wasn't until you turned up. Guess you

didn't realize it was the first day off

in 6 months.

>> Apologies.

What kind of line do you use?

>> A leader or trace?

>> Uh, the main one, I guess. Why would you

want to know that?

>> Say I wanted to try.

>> I go for monofilament, not fluorocarbon.

Mono's easier to cast. Handy to know.

>> I didn't come down in the last shower,

son. You're into fishing. All right. Not

for the fish.

>> A monofilament line was used to tie

Philip to the stake.

You

>> mind coming down to the station?

>> Wouldn't matter if I did mind.

What did the sun?

>> No ring.

>> No ring.

>> If Philillip left Darius that morning

with the ring, then when his body was

found, there was no ring. Then whoever

has that ring now is either the killer

or the last person to see Philip alive.

>> Oh, unless it's opportunistic. Someone

comes across Philip's body and lifted

the ring.

>> But who would do that? or to the point

who might have an excuse to be on

Philip's property that time of morning.

>> I'll alert the porn shop.

>> Yeah. And Riverstone and Huna Point.

Whoever's got it may have more clues

than to try and offload it in

Brokenwood. Do you have a picture of

Dalia's ring?

>> I'll get one.

Actually, can we not tell Dalia that

Philip's ring's gone missing? Just in

the meantime, she's feeling a little

fragile in grief over Philip's death,

obviously, but she's also feeling really

frozen out by Thomas.

>> Thomas?

>> She had hopes that he might pick up the

reigns on the business partnership that

she was setting up with Philillip.

>> And Thomas refused to play ball.

>> Well, apparently he's already on sold

Philip's farm to Larry Sinclair.

>> Interesting.

Mrs. Marlo saw Sinclair disrupt

Philillip's store at the Riverstone

Farmers Market last weekend.

>> How?

>> Well, he publicly questioned Philillip's

organic status. Therefore, she was a bit

shocked when he showed up to the

memorial with Philip's brother.

>> Yeah, they were as thick as thieves at

the wake, too.

>> I might have a word with Larry Sinclair

before he leaves town.

>> Well, he's staying at the toaden lion,

so good luck with that.

>> Mike Shepard Thomas

on my way.

Larry Mike Shepard.

Ah,

>> the new owner of the farm. Gee, word

travels fast.

Not actually me, though. Uh, my company.

We don't own it yet. There's probate.

Few eyes to dot and teased to cross. But

if we did own it, I'd be concerned.

>> All these hives and a couple of dozen

others on Phillips land have been

stripped. Stripped. Cleaned out. All the

honeycombs stolen.

>> It's akin to stealing liquid gold. The

honey from these hives is UMF-15 plus.

In layman's terms,

>> it's a combined rating of key markers

like leptosperin, DHA, and methylioxil.

clears that up.

>> The unique properties of Manuka honey.

>> Virtually the highest rating manuka

honey you can get.

>> This Manuka stand just happens to

produce the most active honey in the

world. It's the real deal. Someone's

gotten away with thousands of dollars.

>> Yet you didn't seem that impressed with

it when Philip was trying to sell it

last weekend at the farmers market.

>> Why aren't we well informed?

>> Small town gossip,

>> but nevertheless true. It's a question

of labeling, detective. Organic is

irrelevant when it comes to Manuka

honey. The important thing is its UMF

rating, not whether it's organic.

>> Philip never got that.

>> But this is an organically certified

farm. Why shouldn't he sell his honey as

organic?

>> Because there's also the question of

accuracy. This huge stand of manuka

actually extends across the top end of

three farms. And since bees can travel

up to 3 km in search of nectar, how

could Philip be sure that his bees were

making honey only from the manuka on his

farm?

>> He couldn't.

>> It's not just a question of labeling,

it's a question of ownership.

>> So Philillip's honey was Doug Randall's

honey

>> and equally

Taylor.

sort of looks like this. And it's in

gold,

>> hand toolled,

>> I believe. So,

>> bespoke slightly hippie new age or we

don't deal with that sort of thing.

>> Well, if it's come through, it's in a a

man's size.

>> Yeah, that's unlikely.

>> Why?

>> Well, rings aren't really gender

specific. Now, Girth's more a question

on flesh on the bone.

You're not keen on a another ferret. I I

got a new shipment and not too minky.

That was a a one-off.

>> What about a Zena? What are a what a

princess costume?

>> Um, I'm okay. Thanks, Sid.

>> So, early to bed?

>> 9:30 is hardly early for a farmer.

>> After a whiskey and honey night cap?

>> Yeah. And out like a light.

Hey, you just make a note that uh I

brushed my teeth first.

And

>> you were out to the world until 5:30 in

the morning.

>> May have had a pee. You didn't see your

wife come home?

>> Truth is careful. She knows I have to

get up early. Saw her for breakfast

though.

>> And what time was that?

>> 9ish. Like to let her sleep in. She

finishes late at the pub.

>> What time are you up at about

>> about 6:00?

>> So between 6:00 and 9. Did you leave the

farm?

>> No.

>> Who can vouch for you?

>> No one. Not unless your name's Dr.

Dittle.

>> Doctor Who?

>> Not him. Now the other one. One who

talks to animals. Would have been a few

pled angers. Quite a few Romney would

have seen me.

>> No human contacts.

>> I can't afford that on my own out there.

So, we're done.

>> Look, some bastard's obviously got it in

for me.

>> Some bastard headed in for Philip

Henderson. If they think they can

intimidate me off my farm, I've got

another thing coming.

>> Who's they said enough? Come on, Doug.

What the hell's going on here?

>> Only a beeswax, son.

Look, I'm not the only fly fisherman

around Broken Water uses mono. Any idea

where we might find some more of the

stuff? Old Tim Taylor, he's a bloody

master at nabbing all the best spots on

the river. Never caught as many as me,

though.

Didn't bother to tie his own flies.

We'll need corroboration from Trudy, I

guess.

>> Guess

>> I think she'd rather talk to a woman.

>> I think you'd rather she didn't talk to

you.

>> True. She gives me the collie wobbles.

>> Collie wobbles.

>> That's something Mike said,

>> right? When you and he were hanging out

in the 1940s.

>> Collie. So I'm putting on a brave face.

Wearing a brave face. Putting on a brave

face today.

Yeah. I get out my brave face. We're in

a brave face. Putting on a brave face

today.

That mask has been switched around. So,

whoever stole the honey did so using

Philip's gear.

>> His hives were stripped by someone who

was very familiar with the farm, who

knew that no one would be there and that

they wouldn't be disturbed.

>> A neighbor.

>> The same person who used the quad bike

to shift Philip's body to the stake.

>> Doug.

>> But why would Doug kill Philillip and

then string him up using his own fishing

line?

So he can steal his honey. I'm not

feeling it.

>> Doug was adamant someone's setting him

up.

>> Who?

>> The person who made sure we knew about

the altercation between Doug and Philip.

Person who, according to Doug, also

fishes using monofilament line. Tamdy

knew from Kahoo that Trudy had made

threats against Philillip. An

opportunity he took advantage of.

>> Same question. Why?

>> Tamdy said something peculiar.

>> They should be called the Vandals, not

the Randals. They stole my damn queen.

If you've got the queen, you've got the

whole hive. So, Tamdy was basically

accusing Doug of stealing his bees.

>> Unholy trinity of apiarists

>> and neighbors.

>> Honey wars.

>> So, if we find the stolen honey, do we

find the killer

>> tomorrow? Taty deserves another visit.

Jana,

>> it really is a nice place you have here.

>> Thanks.

>> Very like Yasnaya Polana

>> in Russia

>> where Tolto wrote war were and peace.

>> Ah

>> I imagine you sit on your ver and write

too.

>> Yes.

>> No I don't.

>> Maybe you should try it.

Poetry. Mike, I think you have the heart

of a poet.

>> Poetry.

>> Toxicology.

>> Tutin. What exactly is toutin?

>> A toxin that comes from the tutu bush.

We don't have this plant in Russia.

Coraria genus is a powerful antagonist

of the glycine receptor.

>> Please, Gina. It causes convulsions and

sometimes as in Philip Henderson's case,

death.

>> The tutu bush

>> found in the New Zealand bush and

historically has caused the odd death.

Uh the last is in 1908, but plenty of

hospitalization and incapacitation.

>> What? So all these people just wandering

through the bush who decide to eat

>> all through eating toxic honey. The tutu

bush isn't toxic to bees. So, the bees

take the nectar from the tutu flower.

>> They can't tell the difference between

manuka and tutu, and it all gets mixed

in with the honey.

>> Gino reckons the comb honey is the real

danger.

>> Once it's processed, it might still be

there, but it's so diffuse it's usually

harmless.

>> So, Philip's death could still be

accidental.

>> Could be.

But at least we know where to look now

and what to look for.

>> Breen, have we got the analysis of

Philip's jar of honey back here? I'll

give VSR the hurry up.

>> Oh, well, I'm at Tam's now.

>> Should I hold off?

>> No, squeeze him.

>> Hello.

>> What now?

We told you're a fly fisherman.

>> Oh,

well, who'd have told you that?

>> Doesn't matter.

>> Well, I haven't been fishing since

they've died. You probably take it up

again, you know, when the kids are old

enough to enjoy it. But

>> So, have you still got your gear?

>> Yeah.

Yeah. Just uh

over here.

Yeah. Knock yourself out.

Why the sudden interest?

>> Philip was tied to the steak with

fishing line.

>> Oh, and someone guess who told you that

I do a bit of fishing, huh? Is

>> this all of it?

>> Yeah. So, what

>> is this both the same type of line?

>> Well, I only use mono.

>> And how long's it been since you've

checked these?

>> I don't know. Years.

>> Well, this rod has a fly on it and the

other doesn't. Should it? Well, like I

said, it's been years.

>> This one's missing a decent amount of

line. You mind if I take these?

>> Do I have a choice?

>> Not really.

>> Someone's trying to set me up here. Doug

Randall, he put you on to this, didn't

he?

>> You mentioned Doug stole your queen. How

do you know it was him?

>> One day he's got no honey, right? And

then next thing he's got plenty. Just

after my bees disappeared.

>> Yeah, but how do you know one bee from

the other?

>> Well, he said that swarmed. you know,

just turned up out of nowhere.

>> Well, we need to know your exact

movements the night before Philip was

found. And on that day,

>> it's easy. I was here.

>> And we need to know whether or not

you've been back to Philip's farm since

the day his body was found.

>> Why? What happened?

>> All of the honeycomb from Philip's hives

has been stolen.

>> Hey,

I've done over Phillip. They've probably

done me, too.

>> Who?

>> Hey, you want to talk? Get on.

What the

They're all dead.

Some bastard's going to poison them.

>> All of them.

>> Yeah, it's me. Yeah, my hives are all

dead.

Is that a deal breaker?

Yeah. Okay.

Gods aren't smiling on us today.

>> Who are you just talking to?

>> Larry.

>> Larry Sinclair. He's on his way up.

>> Now, there's many reasons why hives die.

>> So, it might not be deliberate

poisoning.

>> Looks as if it was petrol.

You see how there are no dead bees on

the entrance ledge,

>> meaning they're all stacked up inside.

>> They couldn't get out. Somebody's

blocked off the exit, lifted off the

lid, thrown in a cup or so of petrol,

and then jammed the lid back down.

Quick, smart. Fumes kill the bees in

about 5 minutes.

>> Poor bees.

>> It's awful. Actually,

the noise the bees make within the hive

is almost like a jet engine.

Then they suddenly stop.

You have some experience.

>> Some hives infected with a veroa mite.

Once they were dead, whoever it was

removed the bung from the exit, moved on

to the next hive.

>> How long have they been dead?

>> Well, it has to be done in the dark.

Have to make sure all the bees are back

in the hive.

>> So, what had to have happened last

night? Any longer and the smell of

petrol would be gone. Overcome by the

smell of rotten bees.

>> Randall the vandal.

>> Why? Well, he must have figured out

that, you know, that I told you guys

about that argument he had with

Philillip. Yeah, Doug and Trudy, they're

vindictive people, as Philip found out.

>> Well, how would Doug have gotten in

here, even at night, without you seeing

him go past your house?

>> No, you don't need to go past my place

to get in here. There's lots of ways

into this bush.

>> We'll need a statement from you. Oh,

>> come on. Hey, I wouldn't kill my own

bees.

>> As tragic as this situation is, Taty,

it's not just about the bees.

When you ready?

>> I just arranged for Kahu to be here when

the kids get back from school.

>> Reckons he hasn't fished for years, but

confirms that when he did, used

monofilament.

>> Interesting. This one has a decent

amount of line missing.

>> Okay, even more interesting.

>> Looks the same. We need ESR to make sure

it's a match.

>> I'd put money on it.

>> I had a interesting conversation with

Larry Sinclair on the way up to the

hives. You said that TomTe called

Sinclair when he discovered the dead

hives.

>> Yeah, my hives are all dead. Is that a

deal breaker? I asked Larry what sort of

deal we had with Tamaty.

>> Sure. We have a deal with Tamdy. We

brought his found this farm.

Conditionally.

>> Conditional on what?

>> Well, conditional on our company

completing the purchase of Philip

Henderson's place. At the time we

entered into the arrangement with Tamdy,

Philip was adamant he wouldn't sell to

us.

>> Why was one sale dependent on the other?

>> Tomy's farm by itself is no good to us.

>> This is how it works.

This

is Philip Henderson's property founded

on one side by Thomasy Taylor

and Doug Randall and Trudy Neielson on

the other. And this

is that big Monica stand that extends

across and within all three properties.

The bee's only concern is the nectar and

they don't care who owns it. So from

Larry's point of view, he needed all

three farms or at least two of the

three. And with Philillips here in the

middle, it had to be one of the two. The

problem was Tamati was keen to sell, but

Philip refused.

>> As long as Philip refused to sell, Tam

had no sales.

>> So Philip's death cleared the way for

Tamati to sell his farm.

>> We were looking for motive.

Who profits from Philip's death?

>> It's hard not to feel sorry for the guy.

>> Dead wife, dead bees.

>> Waiting for the gods to smile.

I'll do it.

>> You had a deal to sell your farm to

Sinclair Wholesome Limited, but only if

Philip Henderson sold his farm to that

company.

>> Yes.

>> Was Sinclair offering a good price?

>> Yeah, really good. Considering my farm

isn't really a economically viable unit.

It's okay when there's two of us, but

since Viv died,

it's been a bit of a struggle, you know.

>> So, you were keen for the sale to go

through?

>> No.

No,

>> no. I want to keep my land, my faro, my

boys.

>> Then why offer to sell?

>> Sometimes you got to do things you don't

want to do.

>> Like what exactly?

The problem was Philip Henderson was

standing in your way, wasn't he? And you

knew that once he was dead, the sale of

his farm would go through.

>> I didn't know that.

>> And then you're sweet, right? Because

then your sale goes through, too. Well,

I can see how this might look.

>> Then you'll understand why we need to

know exactly where you were the day that

Philip was found and the night before

that.

>> Well, I generally go to bed pretty

early. Not long after the kids, cuz I'm

up at dawn.

>> Did you leave the farm that night?

>> Leave the kids asleep in their beds. I

couldn't do that.

>> You said you were up at dawn.

Yeah, but the kids are still asleep, so

I never stray too far from the house.

>> So, no one can vouch for your movements.

>> Guess not.

>> Mama, I don't see too many people on a

regular basis. You know, day to day.

Generally get the kids up about 7, make

breakfast, lunches, get them ready for

school.

>> When do they leave?

>> They're going to be at the gate for the

school bus by 8.

>> After which point, you're on your own

again.

>> Yeah. with no one to account for your

movements until the kids got over from

school.

>> Yes.

>> Is there anything you want to tell us?

>> Yeah, there is.

>> Go on.

I might not be the um perfect father,

but I would never just bugger off out of

side of that house and leave my kids

asleep in that tinder box.

I just wouldn't.

>> That's it.

>> Yeah.

Can I go now?

I got Cahoo waiting outside with the

kids. He's He's got to get to another

job.

>> Kids are in my van. Uncle,

catch you later.

>> Detective Sims, this is for you for your

smoke.

>> I thought you said you didn't fake.

hidden talents. It's a good thing to do

with the nephews.

>> Actually, believe it or not, I can't

accept this. Could be seen as bribery.

>> You should try it first. Might not be so

much a bribe as a form of culinary

torture. The nephews are a bit random

with the measurements.

>> Well, I'll see if an exception can be

made.

>> You find out who poisoned my uncle's

bees.

>> We're working on it.

>> Busy as a bee.

>> Something like that.

You know, my uncle Walter had bees, too.

Taught me this cool thing. The average

worker bee, little lady buzzing around,

hopping on all those flowers. She only

makes a 12th of a teaspoon of honey in

her whole lifetime.

>> Wow. Makes you think about quality over

quantity, right? Yeah.

>> And

just how you have to work hard enough to

get the sweet stuff.

Another thing about bees, you know how

they communicate?

>> Um, no actually I don't.

>> By dancing. Cool. E,

>> do you like dancing?

>> Uh, yeah.

>> Good to know.

>> Well,

>> what?

>> Tamaty Taylor.

>> Uh, yes. Um, well, we have him

completely over a barrel. Absolutely no

corroboration about where he was or what

he was doing. Not a shred of help from

anyone. There's just one problem.

>> He didn't do it.

>> He didn't do it.

>> Can't feel over logic, eh?

>> Sometimes that's all we've got.

We asked the right question. Who profits

from Philip's death? We overlooked a

couple of names.

Why pay someone market rights for

something when you can just knock them

off?

My gut feel is that Larry Sinclair's

offer to buy those three farms somehow

sparked Philip Henderson's death. But

just because he provided the pot of gold

doesn't mean he's responsible for the

actions of those trying to get their

hands on it.

>> You're letting him off the hook?

>> Not yet. Although he's been pretty

transparent with us.

Larry told me that if his company

completes the purchases, then all that

land will be plotted out in Monaco.

>> Source of liquid gold, which means a lot

more money in the future.

You again.

>> We're looking for one of your guests.

Thomas Henderson

was here

gone

>> to

yoga. You ever try it?

>> Yep. Do wonders for you and Roxy?

>> Really?

>> Hey, what's happened? Oh, actually,

we're just here to talk to Thomas. Oh,

don't say I'm surprised. Oh, I'll uh

drop by later for a kombucha.

>> Great.

>> Kombucha? Seriously?

>> Shut up.

>> No way.

>> How can I help?

>> Dalia is still upset with you.

>> Can't help that. I did everything I

could to help Philip and her get the

money they needed. One way of acquiring

knowledge of an opponent's business is

to offer to invest.

>> Is that what you were doing?

>> He was my brother, not my opponent.

>> But you admitted to DSS Shepherd that

you weren't close, that you were quite

adversarial.

>> Is that his interpretation of what I

said?

>> Why didn't you go ahead with the online

organics?

>> Like, did you have a better plan?

>> Like what?

>> Sorry. Do you have to do that?

>> Can't rush it. I'm cooling down.

>> Fine. When did you find out about Larry

Sinclair's offer to buy Philip's farm?

>> Okay. What exactly are you guys getting

at?

>> Philip's death dumped his farm in your

lap so you could sell to Sinclair.

>> Do I need a lawyer?

>> Maybe.

Or a chiropractor.

I've got nothing else I can tell you.

>> I'm here to talk to you.

>> Oh.

Oh. Well, I'll go put the jug on then.

>> We're good.

Right.

>> Okay.

>> Sounds serious. We might be talking

motor for murder.

>> That's serious.

>> Well, you knew Philip refused to sell

and that his brother Thomas, his only

heir and successor would.

>> You had the figures for Philip's farm.

You knew the manuka honey was a gold

mine.

>> No. I knew that Philip's organic farm

was a perennial loser. What saved him

was Manuka honey.

>> So what? So, you knew through your

relationship with Larry Sinclair that he

was interested in buying your brother's

farm,

>> but that your brother wouldn't sell.

>> Look,

what happened when the Randalls and

Tamdy Taylor got into the honey

business? It made for decreasing returns

for all of them, particularly Philillip.

>> There are only so many flowers.

>> Exactly. So, you got three greedy

small-time operators all trying to cash

into the max. Therefore, a sustainable

and lucrative operation for one supplier

was being ruined by the three. Larry

Sinclair saw that.

>> Who told him? What?

>> Who drew Larry Sinclair's attention to

the situation?

>> I told him.

>> Had dealings with him in the past.

>> So, while you were supposedly acting for

Philip and Dalia behind their backs.

>> No, I kept Philip informed throughout.

>> But not Dalia.

>> Well, I had no obligation to Dalia.

>> When did Sinclair make those offers?

>> H some weeks ago. Maybe three.

>> Philip said no. Yeah. Initially, you

couldn't get past his organic dream,

some crazy scheme he had concocted with

Dalia.

>> Crazy.

>> Yeah. Well, it would have solved

nothing.

>> Did you tell him and Dalia that?

>> I told my brother. And to be honest,

>> did you speak to Dalia?

>> I spoke to her once or twice when she

answered Philip's phone. To be honest,

she's a flake.

No wonder she ended up with Philillip.

Anyway,

>> you got there in the end.

>> Got where in the end?

>> You're saying I arranged Philip's death

so I could do a deal with Thomas?

There's only one problem with that

theory. Philip agreed to sell.

>> When?

>> Just before he died. Philillip accepted

that the online organic store wasn't a

goer. Neither was the farm.

And that it sell for Larry.

>> You're sure?

>> Took him a long time to accept that his

dream was dead.

>> When precisely did that happen?

>> The night before he died.

>> Did he tell Dalia?

>> He said he was going to, but I don't

know if he did.

>> Detective Sims.

>> Right. Thank you. I'll be right over.

I uh have to head over to Curios and

Collectibles. Sounds like Philip's rings

turned up.

>> Well, the night before Philillip's body

was found,

>> I was close to giving up on any sort of

deal. Even though Doug Randall had

agreed to a royalty.

>> A royalty?

>> Yeah. In exchange for not having hives,

but it was no good without the Henderson

patch. Then the call came through from

Philip. He had changed his mind. He

wanted to sell.

>> Where were you when the call came

through? the toad in line. Trudy Nelson

can verify it because I was so chuffed.

I ordered a bottle of champagne. She

asked me what I was celebrating, so I

told her. Trudy actually broke all her

own rules and shared the bottle with me.

>> What's the occasion?

>> Philip Henderson has agreed to sell.

>> Really?

>> Jeez.

>> Okay, I'll confirm with her and come

back to you.

>> I'll tell you something for nothing.

You said Philillip died from toxic honey

tootin.

>> I did.

>> Yeah, people have got it wrong. See, the

bees don't eat the nectar from the tutu

flour. The passion vine hopper eat the

tutu sap, not the bees. The bees eat the

honey juice sap secreted by the passion

vine hopper.

>> And this is important. Why?

>> Well, passion vine hoppers are only

found on tutu bushes at certain times a

year. They haven't been around for

months. Meaning,

>> well, the toxic honey can't have come

from fresh honeycomb. It has to have

been stored toxic honey,

>> which means it was more likely that the

poisoning was deliberate.

>> You're the detective.

>> Lab tests confirmed that the honey from

Philip's kitchen contains very high

concentrations of toutin.

>> So, we know what killed him.

>> You drew a blank with Thomas.

>> He said that Philip changed his mind the

night before he was found. He'd agreed

to sell.

>> Confirmed by Larry. I can't see motive

for him. Does that eliminate Thomas as

well? He was simply carrying out his

brother's wishes and going through with

the sale.

>> Must be so weird for Dalia. Being let

down by two separate men who look

exactly the same. I think the worst

thing is that Philip didn't even have

the guts to tell her.

>> That's it. Same design.

>> See you somewhere. Be able to change

your mind about that second ferret. I've

got some other people seriously

interested.

Oh, it's your loss. Oh, yeah. Here we

are. That's the That's the name and the

signature of the person who brought it

in yesterday.

>> Dalia.

>> But does it really mean that much?

>> She lied about the ring. What else is

she hiding? But if it was opportunistic,

as you said,

>> then she took the ring off her dead

boyfriend's finger.

>> I just I don't see her doing that.

>> People do strange things under your

>> Let me talk to her, please.

>> Okay, but record it.

There's something wrong.

>> I think

you better tell me what really happened

that night.

I'll transcribe this later.

>> The romantic dinner never happened.

Philip did tell Dalia that the plan for

their online organic store wasn't a goer

and that he'd reached the end of his

tether

>> this afternoon with the Randall's

spray drifter. Dalia, I

I've had enough.

>> He told her that he couldn't fight them

anymore and that he'd decided to sell to

Sinclair. Dalia was upset.

>> I DIDN'T LIKE YOU.

>> HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?

>> I TOLD YOU AS SOON AS I KNEW.

>> YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME YOU WERE

CONSIDERING IT.

>> SO, he didn't eat.

>> Not according to Dalia. And he certainly

didn't stay the night either. So the

timeline in which Philip could have been

poisoned shrinks back to

>> when he left Alias that night around 8

>> or before if she's lying about him not

eating.

>> Why would she try and poison him before

he told her about selling the farm?

>> Fair point.

>> And then after he told her there was no

question of them sitting down together

to eat.

>> I think it's the end of us then.

>> Can she account for her movements the

rest of that night?

>> Not really.

spent the night alone upset.

Understandable though.

>> Does she have a key to Philip's house?

>> Well, yeah, but she said that he doesn't

lock his house anyway.

>> So, she could have put the turtin in

Phil's honey. But

>> what was her motive?

>> Revenge.

>> Get a search warrant for Dalia's cafe

and apartment. We'll get forensics to

check the cafe for traces of toin.

Meet me at Philip's farm.

I'll be there in a moment.

You know it.

>> I want to see if it's physically

possible.

>> What?

Hop on.

>> You're about the same weight as Philip.

Comfy.

See if you can push him up into

position.

>> Use your legs, not your back.

>> Oh, it says the guy who recently broke

his leg.

>> Is that why I'm doing this?

>> Tom's a great healer. And no.

Yeah, that would certainly scare the

birds.

>> The point is she could have done it.

>> Yeah, and she's been back to the house.

I can prove it,

>> Shepherd.

Okay. Thanks.

Developments at the Sage Locust.

Just talk on the run.

Contemplating a new career. Ah, too many

health and safety issues.

Philip Henderson's honeycombs.

Come on.

Looks the same. I mean, it could be

monofilament. Should we have it tested?

>> Let's see how the interview goes.

>> Our scene guard was stood down two

nights ago. When they left, the shed

looked like this. Then sometime the

following evening, things changed.

>> Can you spot the difference?

>> No.

>> The bee helmet's been hung upside down.

You drove up to the hives, which you

knew would be full, but you needed a

gear to pull off the heist. We know you

were there. You left a trail.

>> What?

>> You took the photo of yourself and

Philip from his kitchen, and you pinned

it up in your cafe.

>> How do you know that?

>> Oh.

You're not going to deny that you stole

the honey. Surely you

>> damn well owed me all the time and

effort I put into our partnership for

him to just pull the plug.

>> You resented him for it.

>> Yes.

>> Enough to poison him.

>> No.

>> You were familiar with his habits. You

obviously felt comfortable going into

his house. You snuck in and replaced his

honey with toxic honey.

>> What? Toxic honey?

>> He spread it on his toast as he knew he

would. He ate it.

>> I wouldn't never do that.

>> I still don't believe that she would

have poisoned him.

You're hardly objective.

>> What I can't figure out is why you

poisoned Tumty Taylor's hives.

>> Tati,

>> the farm next door.

>> The Randles.

>> The other side.

>> Poisoned? How do you poison beehives?

>> Excuse me for a moment.

>> Something's not right. She's got motive

for stealing Philip's honey by poisoning

him. And if she did poison him, why

string him up as a scarecrow? Why

advertise the fact?

>> Thomas did call her a flake.

>> Well, he called his brother that as

well.

>> Theft is a different ball game from

poisoning bees or people.

>> Darly is such a granny that she thinks

twice about using fly spray. But to

poison the man that she loves, then

string him up with fishing line all to

make it look like Doug Randall did it. I

just don't buy it.

>> Charge her with the theft of the honey.

Give her police bail, but ask for a

passport.

I was so in denial since Philip died. I

couldn't accept it was the end of

everything.

I know you're just doing your job,

trying to be a good friend, actually.

Okay, back to the Honey Wars who wasn't

getting what they wanted.

>> Philip changed his mind, got a deal,

>> which suited Thomas.

>> Winch meant Tom got a deal, too.

>> Doug didn't want a deal, so everyone's

happy. Larry Sinclair walks with two out

of the three.

>> Three out of three. Larry confirmed that

Doug Randall didn't sell his land, but

that he did agree to take a royalty from

Sinclair for not having hives on his

land. So everyone gets what they want.

>> Are we back to square one?

>> No.

Larry said that the tootin couldn't have

come from current honeycomb. It had to

have been stored

>> in the jar of his own honey that Philip

spread on his toast.

>> That jar

was half full. If he had already used

it, why hadn't he already poisoned

himself?

Got to come back to the honey makers.

Doug didn't make his own honey.

If you look at it this way, there was

someone who wasn't getting what she

wanted. Trudy wanted the farm sold, but

instead was forced to close down her

hives.

>> How did Trudy handle that news?

>> She seemed pretty dark on it. Just as

well the champagne was on the house

because she scalled most of it herself.

>> Larry said that as part of their due

diligence, his company surveyed the

whole stand of Monica.

>> Sure. We found a couple of tutu bushes.

I mean, nothing to get alarmed about.

We'll get rid of them.

>> Did he say where they were?

>> On the Randall's property.

>> The Tuton poison.

>> What about it?

>> I know where it is. What's the time?

>> Uh 9:15.

>> 9:30. He has his whiskey and honey night

cap. It's out like a light. So if Philip

was a warning to Doug, you think Doug is

next in line?

>> What the hell do you roosters want this

time of night? I was about to hit the

bloody scratcher.

>> Good evening to you, too.

Is that your usual

>> whiskey and honey? Night cap. Yeah.

>> If you're that desperate, I'll pour you

one. Have another myself.

>> What's your problem? Can't go your

tongue.

>> Well, I guess we can park that theory.

>> Follow me. Who the hell's in there?

Oh jeez. Truths will scream blue murder.

It's the last of our honey in here, you

know,

>> because you gave away your hives to

Sinclair.

>> Yeah, we get royalties and not having

our own bees. Truds would have been

thrilled about that.

>> How have marital relations been since

the royalty deal?

>> Guess I didn't realize how much I meant

to. You told me she didn't really take

anything else about the farm.

>> Yeah. In 45 years of farming, it's the

first time someone's come to me and

offered to pay me doing nothing.

>> It's hard to say no to that.

>> You said this one might be dodgy.

>> Yeah.

>> You know what's in it?

>> Trud said something about tutu bushes,

but I wasn't really listening. Have to

ask her.

>> We plan to.

>> What the hell is this all about?

>> You said last time you were here that

jar was full.

Yeah. Yeah. I think they might be right.

>> Oh, you're talking crap. Same amount as

it was before. Oh, she got rid of some

of it. I don't know why she didn't get

rid of the lot.

>> So, it had been full.

>> Yeah. Late summer

that batch all got tested.

>> Why? Bag it.

>> Hang on.

These are treaties.

>> Yeah. Too small for me.

What is it?

It's a factory joke. It's not mine.

The hell's going on here?

>> What can I get you?

>> We need to talk.

>> So talk.

>> I can do it here. Bring in the

detective, caution you, cuff you, make a

spectacle out of it.

It's up to you.

>> I'll be over here pondering my next

move.

>> You have a minute to decide what that'll

be.

>> Were you in on Doug's plan to poison

Thomasy Taylor's hives?

>> Is that what this is about? Dead bees.

>> Worth a lot of money.

>> Silly old fool. Look, I I told him not

to do it. We can make restitution

surely.

>> It's always weird watching but not being

able to hear. But after a while you get

good at lip reading.

>> Why did he do it?

>> Doug's upset understandably about Tamy's

attempt to frame him.

>> For what?

>> The scarecrow business.

>> Philip Henderson's murder.

>> Was it?

>> Doug thought Tom was setting him up.

Well, it was Tamdy that told you jokers

about Duggy's argument with Philillip,

wasn't it?

>> We're asking the questions, Trudy.

>> We know what we know. And it was Tamdy

that tied Philip up using fishing line.

Make it look like Doug had done it.

>> Well, it's obvious, isn't it?

>> Why aren't you putting the pressure on

Tamdy?

>> We've spoken to Tamdy.

Look,

if poison bees is such an issue, then he

can have our bees. We won't need them

anymore.

>> Because Doug gave your hives away,

didn't he? To Larry Sinclair.

>> Is that it? Are we done?

>> Who's out here?

>> Walk away, Trud. Walk away.

>> Let's talk about Philip's murder. That

wasn't a case of tummy framing Doug, was

it?

>> Wasn't it?

No,

it was a case of you

faming to

>> Whose real is that?

>> What's that mean?

>> I want a lawyer.

>> Sure, but let me run something past you

so you're fully informed when you do

talk to your lawyer.

>> You hate life on the farm.

>> It's actually a great sideline for

Trudes. God knows she hasn't taken much

else around the farm.

>> I don't hate the farm. I hate what the

fun's doing to Douggee.

>> He's getting on. It's grinding him down.

It's going to put him in an early grave.

>> Looks like she's under a bit of pressure

there, Doug.

>> She should tough it out.

>> So that when Larry Sinclair came along

with his offer to buy the farm, you were

in favor of selling.

>> You townies wouldn't understand. Try us.

The farm's marginal. Even though it's

been in Doug's family for generations.

He can't afford to hire someone to help

him. I make damn near as much from my

hives as a hobby as Doug makes from

running sheep and cattle.

>> But Larry's offered to buy your farm.

>> Doug's farm

>> was conditional, wasn't it? On Philip

selling cuz Philip's farm was central.

>> That's no secret. Larry was staying at

your pub. So you saw a lot of him. And

you understood from Larry that Philillip

was refusing to sell. But you also found

out that Larry was a business

acquaintance of Thomas, Philip's brother

and only niece of Ken, who would sell.

So, you decided to remove the problem,

didn't you?

>> You're telling the story.

>> On the night that Philip died,

you were on your way into work when you

saw Philillip leaving his house and

heading into town.

So, you went to your shed where you had

some honey that had been rejected for

excessive levels of tutin. You took that

jar of toxic cubby.

>> This jar

>> which your husband confirmed had been

full.

>> Douggee

>> Troos, what are they saying to you?

>> Can't hear you, Doug. And on your way

into the pub, you took a detour with

your jar of honey to Philip's house. You

walked in through the back door, which

you knew would be open, and you replaced

Philillip's honey with the toxic honey.

It was almost the perfect crime.

Accidental poisoning by tutu

contamination happened so many times

before. It's an occupational hazard.

>> But what you couldn't have foreseen is

that Philillip would change his mind

about selling.

>> Did he?

>> That night when he got back from telling

Dalia that the organic dream was over.

Philip rang Larry Sinclair and told him

the news, didn't he?

>> How would I know?

>> Because he was at the pub when he took

the call from Philip. He was so

delighted that he ordered champagne

which he shared with you.

>> Want a drink at the pub? But you broke

that rule because you thought you had

something to celebrate too. That the

sale of your farm,

>> Doug's farm,

>> would go through too because Philip had

agreed to sell his.

>> In fact, you shouted Larry the

champagne.

>> Larry had some more news, didn't he?

Some bad news.

>> Larry told you that your husband had

changed his mind, too, that he now

refused to sell. Instead, he offered to

give away your hives in return for a

royalty from Sinclair.

That was the real bombshell.

It

>> was the worst of both worlds, wasn't it,

Trudy?

>> I was prepared to lose my bees to help

sell the farm. I was prepared to do that

for Douggee.

But he couldn't let it go. He can't let

it go even though it's killing him.

>> So Doug gets to keep his farm, but gives

away your bees.

So now you're angry and confused,

>> not to mention drunk. Larry said that

you drank most of the champagne.

>> I shouldn't drink.

>> You needed to recalibrate and quickly.

Philillip no longer needed to die. In

fact, now that he'd agreed to sell, it

was probably better that he didn't.

>> Doug was now the problem, not Philillip.

So you left the pub early,

drove to Philip's farm, hoping you were

in time.

The light on but no action. You parked

by the gate and creep towards the house

where you discover that you're too late.

Philip was already dead.

And in that moment of drunken anger and

frustration at Doug's decision, you

turned what might have been considered

an accidental death into a murder

investigation.

You decide to kill two birds with one

scarecrow

>> by framing Taty and hopefully sending

Doug a message.

>> An almost mafioso style message

>> that doing deals with Larry Sinclair

could end badly for him too.

>> Hell of a way to scare him off his farm.

>> You took real.

You put Philip's body on the quad bike,

drove down to the scarecrow, tore that

down, and put Philip up instead.

>> You can't prove any of this.

>> This was found attached to the bottom of

your boot. It

>> must be one of Douggee.

>> The fly is machine wound. Doug only uses

handtight.

The trace matches Teddy's. Well, there

you go.

>> So, how did it get to be stuck to the

bottom of your boot?

Unless

you were on his property.

Things might go easier for you in court

if you admit to going back and trying to

stop the process you'd already set in

place.

I didn't want him to die,

but he

>> But you were too late. Philip hadn't

eaten with Dalia that evening, so he

came home, made himself some toast and

honey.

>> Big boy. Unfortunately, he had an

appetite. Maybe four pieces.

Delirium,

convulsions,

coma, eventual death.

>> It's not a nice way to die,

>> but it worked, didn't it?

>> I didn't want it to work.

I was hoping I'd make him sick, that it

would be the last straw for him.

>> Still the last breath he drew.

>> I lost myself

in.

>> What a funny way

to lose a heart. So strong.

>> Mike's formally charging her

>> with what?

>> Philip Henderson's murder,

>> right?

>> Come on, mate. Your turn.

>> My turn. Poisoned hives. I need to talk

to you about that.

>> Something snapped.

God, I was so furious with Doug for

refusing to sell.

>> Farm's going to be the death of him.

>> I just wanted to do something to help

him make the right decision for himself

for both of us.

>> Truth.

>> I'm sorry, Doug.

Oh,

>> truth.

Come on, Doug.

The classic case of the wrong thing for

the right reason.

>> Seems so.

>> Doug's got himself all choked up. Needs

a minute.

>> True love seldom did run smooth.

tried to tell you.

Tell me what. She's always freaked me

out. Uh,

the collie wobbles.

Get that out of here.

Come on. Come here.

Show your bloody face.

STAY AWAY FROM ME. YOU HEAR ME? Stay

away.

Heat. Heat.

Mr. Waterson

So,

what is it?

Hello.

Where the hell are you?

Oh my god.

A

>> somebody's doing well for themselves.

>> Wealth, it's overrated. Remember, money

can't buy you happiness. Wait here.

>> Why do I have to stay?

>> You're first on the scene, Froto. You

called it in.

>> What else was I supposed to do?

>> You did the right thing. You need to

stick around.

>> Firstly, there's this.

According to the deceased wife, it

doesn't belong to them.

>> Where is the victim?

>> Around the back. Mitch Wat. Name rings a

bell.

>> Money guy.

>> Finance company collapsed.

>> Yeah. Blue Monarch Investments left a

lot of people out of pocket.

>> Has somebody moved the body?

>> According to Frodo, his wife did trying

to save him.

>> Why is it that wherever there is

trouble, Frankie Oats finds himself

close to it?

>> It's like a bad luck charm. Remind me

never to work with him.

>> Asian?

>> Maybe.

Is it a Japanese suicide dagger? It's

too small to be a samurai.

>> Well, Mitch, if you were trying to

commit the hurry curry, you had an

unusual style.

>> Given his reputation, perhaps he fell on

his sword

>> backwards.

Is Gina on her way? The deceased wife

>> with Constable Richards. His wife is

Jules Fehee, by the way,

>> from the missing hand case.

>> I thought she was with Dennis Buchanan.

>> Guess she's moved on.

Jules. Hello, Mike Shepard. Detective

Sims

>> Richards, could you get Mrs. Fee another

cup of tea?

>> Jules, we are so sorry for your loss.

>> Usually, when I'd arrive home, when

you'd be waiting by the door, he'd give

me the biggest hug. You'd miss me if I

go away.

He wasn't there.

I came in looking for him. Stepped

outside.

Who the hell are you? Oh my god.

Get away from him. Get away. Mitch.

Mitch. Mitch.

Poor Mitch. I didn't know what to do.

But of course he was utterly lifeless.

>> Yeah. I need ambulance, police,

everybody. Man,

>> you just arrived home from

>> Hamilton visiting my mother.

>> Jules, is there anybody that you can

stay with while we do a full scene

examination or we can arrange a motel?

>> Don't you have the guy, that strange man

by the pool?

>> Frankie Oats. He was mowing your lawns,

I believe. First I've heard of it. Mitch

mowed the lawns himself. Tried to save

money.

>> Well, follow that up. The gym bag by the

doorstep.

>> Not ours.

>> There was a note inside.

>> Not surprising.

>> That's happened before.

>> Sometimes they're left with a plastic

bag. One time a cake tin.

Even a wheelbarrow once. Any

idea who wrote these?

>> There are hundreds who held their

attitude towards Mitch

>> through the blue monarch collapse before

my time.

>> Oh, thank you.

>> Richard's here. We'll take care of your

living arrangements. We'll talk again

soon.

>> I'm so pleased that you're in charge,

Mr. Shepherd. I know you will do an

excellent job.

>> It's a team effort,

>> but a team's only as good as its

captain. You'll bring someone to

account. I know it. We'll be in touch.

>> There's Bryce now. Mitch, what's the

universe trying to tell me?

>> Gina,

>> death occurred less than 12 hours ago.

No sign of bloating. The body has not

yet been water locked.

>> Unless he was dead before he went in.

>> That remains to be seen. In the

meantime, this is very concerning.

I think it could be a kjali.

>> A kali being

>> a Russian dagger smaller than a shashka.

They have been used in the past by the

KGB for assassinations.

>> Although the markings location

>> have you never been to Mongolia?

>> Uh no I have. It is where the east meets

Russia.

>> Thanks. We'll uh look into it.

>> If not a kangjali, perhaps a klitch or a

shamshshire.

If so, sinister forces are at play. He

could be a Russian spy

>> living at Broken Wood. He's no longer

living.

That's what happens to spies.

>> Thanks, Gina. Uh, keep up the good work.

>> How long have you been mowing Mitch

Wat's lawns?

>> Okay, this was my first time.

>> Did you see Mr. Watson before you

started.

>> Didn't see him. I never met him until

the pool.

>> You'd never met him. Yet you were mowing

his lawns.

>> It was a freebie. I sent out a new

business offer. Let me mow your lawn.

You'll see how amazing I am and want to

sign up as a regular. Steve, put these

in people's mailboxes. Did an email

thing.

>> And Mr. Watson replied,

>> "Of course. Wouldn't mow his lawn for

free otherwise. That's no way to run a

business."

What happened to your eye?

>> What? Nothing.

>> Frodo, you have a black eye.

>> Hey.

>> Oh, must have hit a branch when I was

mowing.

>> We're on

sand. Sent. Sent. Good boy. Sink.

Good boy.

Seek. Seek.

Turn them over.

Back over again.

>> Thanks, Sandra.

>> Zak Z.

Now raise those arms up.

>> Looks like we have a mass surrender.

Thanks again.

>> This was found on route and roads lead

to Sunset Manor.

>> Yeah, so would it same. You got a bank?

>> Yeah.

>> Lydia Lee, general manager of Sunset

Manor.

>> Uh, dears Mike Shepard.

>> Detective Chrisen Sims. It's quite a

commotion you've caused.

>> Our police dog track sent here from

Bandon Drive, the scene of an

unexplained death.

We need to know whether any of that

group have been out walking.

>> You think one of my residents might be

tied to a crime? Not necessarily.

There's probably a simple explanation as

to why the dog indicated on this place.

>> The sooner we can discount it, the

sooner we can carry on without the lines

of inquiry.

>> All right, but I think you might be

excused the pardon barking up the wrong

tree. All my residents are in full-time

care. They can only leave the premises

if escorted by family, friends, or

staff. Of course, but we need to follow

process.

>> Well, we could start by getting them

warm.

>> Amber,

>> yes.

>> Can you please take the residents to

lounge room one?

>> Yep.

>> Thanks.

>> Good luck. Several have varying levels

of dementia. I'll need to alert their

powers of attorney and supervise any

questioning until they arrive.

All right, listen everyone. These two

people are detectives.

>> Good afternoon everyone.

>> They want to ask several of you some

questions. If you feel at all confused,

I'll be here to help. Is that

understood?

>> Yes, Margaret.

>> Yes.

>> You're confused?

>> No. All right. Well, that's good then.

Yes.

>> Yes.

>> I love dogs. I know. Wasn't that a

lovely dog outside? Yes.

>> Margaret is an avid walker. You might be

best to catch her on her rounds.

>> I see. I've had enough of this.

>> Yes, George.

>> I think you're doing an amazing job.

>> Thank you, George. You're always so

positive.

>> Oh.

>> Oh, he's lovely. Lovely hair.

>> According to Jules Fehee, Mitch

Waterson's father, Kenny, is one of the

residents here.

>> Lydia, which one is Kenny Watson?

>> You mean Pummel? He's just left.

>> I am not saying anything until Trudy

gets here.

>> Desire is waiting for Trudy Nelson to

arrive. She used to always play poker

with her. Very generous with her time.

>> Breen, why don't you give Desire a game?

See what you can gather.

>> Sure.

>> You're not Trudy.

>> No, I'm Sam. Fancy a game?

>> Fancy getting your butt whipped?

Show me your money.

>> I'll take you to Pummel's room.

>> Excuse me.

>> Oh, it's Edward, isn't it?

>> Yes, I believe so. Do I know you?

>> Yes, we've met before through Mrs. Malo.

Oh, Mrs. Marlo.

Who?

>> Your friend. Jean Malo.

>> Oh, yes. Jean. Yes. Marvelous woman.

>> Edward. These are detectives. Shepherd

and Sims.

>> Yes. Well, look, I think you should take

me in. Why is that? Well, there's been a

crime. I want to admit to it and get it

over with.

>> Now, Edward, you're not using this as an

excuse to leave us. You've only just

joined.

Even so, I think

I'm sure we've met before.

>> Would you like to go back to your room?

>> No.

>> Miss Lee,

>> excuse me a moment.

>> Oh, there you are.

>> Mrs. Malo.

>> Oh, nice surprise to find you here.

>> I brought you your favorite Anzac

biscuits.

>> Do you know Jean? Uh, yes. We met in the

war.

No, we didn't.

>> Yeah, Gallipoli.

>> No, no, it was at the bowling club.

>> Oh,

>> is everything all right?

>> Some routine inquiries into a nearby

unexplained death.

>> Oh, homicide.

>> It's early days.

>> Oh, Edward's uh only recently moved in.

He was reluctant, but with the scourge

of Alzheimer's, it was time. And he's

settling in very nicely. I can't stand

the place. But don't worry, I make a run

for it every night. They can't keep me.

>> No. No. Edward, I think we're making up

stories.

>> Would someone mind explaining what the

hell is going on?

>> We got here as quickly as we could.

>> Wes and Catherine, these are the

detectives.

>> What's this about our brother being

questioned?

>> Routine inquiries.

>> Routine? I had to drop everything. Wet

canvas ruined. And they're not cheap.

Uh, what are you doing here? Ch. Off you

go. Oh, come on now, Catherine.

>> No, your intentions are transparent.

Can't you understand the well is dry?

>> I thought we made it clear about her.

>> Mrs. Marlo plays piano for all the

residents this time every week.

>> And that's all.

>> Well, I hope so.

My brother is at a very vulnerable

stage,

>> which is why he should only be spoken to

through us or his lawyer.

>> Come on, Eddie. Let's go and get a nice

cup of tea. Huh?

If we split up, we'll get through this

quicker.

>> Hello.

>> Yes.

>> What?

>> Guiny.

>> Pamel.

>> The pummel. We met before in the lounge.

What? Did we?

>> My name is Mike Shepard. I'm from

Brokenwood CIB.

>> Huh?

>> You were a boxer,

middleweight

detective?

Mr.

How are we going, champ?

Who's this bloke? He's a detective. What

does he want?

>> I need to talk to Mr. to Watson about a

couple of things.

>> We'll talk to W.

>> That's probably for the best.

>> I'm sorry. Are you his brother as well?

>> Coach and old friend.

They're investigating an incident near

here and checking on everybody's

whereabouts last night.

>> What?

>> They want to know where you were last

night.

>> I don't know.

>> You weren't out clubbing again, were

you? clubbing, disco dancing?

Don't think so, was I?

>> I think you can safely assume he was

here, Mr. Shepherd.

>> The incident involves the death of

Kenny's son, Mitch Wat.

>> Oh,

an accident or what? Something more.

We're working through things.

Obviously, Kenny needs to be informed.

>> Yeah, of course.

Uh,

Champ, you need to listen carefully to

what Mr. Shepherd has to say.

>> Mr. Wat, your son, Mitch,

>> Casius.

>> Mitch Casius Watson. Yes.

>> Yes.

>> I'm sorry to tell you this, but

unfortunately, he has been found dead.

No,

that's his

gone.

Ow. Well, that's what the detective is

trying to find out

>> again. Pummel, I'm very sorry.

>> Cassie is my little Cassie is

I think we should go somewhere more

private.

>> Don't you want to stay with him?

>> I don't think you quite understand.

Pummel,

how's your son,

>> Casius?

He's no son of mine. You bring him in

here, I'll send Sham his boss.

>> Does that allay your fears?

Back soon, champ.

>> Jean,

you okay?

>> Oh, yes. I just forgot my sheet music. I

have to say, it seemed rather rude.

>> Edward's brother and sister are very

protective. They think my intentions

aren't legitimate.

>> In what way?

>> That I'm a gold digger. That I'm after

his money.

>> Oh, I see. But I'm not, of course. I'm

just a friend and a neighbor.

I didn't realize that Edward was

wealthy.

>> Oh, he's not. He's as poor as a church

bus. It all disappeared when that

investment company collapsed.

>> Blue Monarch run by that devil of a man,

Mitch Wat.

Legitimized theft is what I call it.

>> As you can see, Pummel has fairly

advanced dementia.

Has he started wandering? Not that I'm

aware of.

When he does, they'll put him in the

secure unit. Truth is, it's probably

time, but they got a waiting list, you

see. Does it affect his short-term

memory? Not

>> completely. His longterm comes and goes.

>> When you said coach, you meant boxing

coach.

>> Yeah.

>> We were quite a team.

Held the world middleweight titles from

1969 to 73. Undisputed.

What he lacked in stature, he made up

for in fury.

Hard to imagine now, but he had an

unrelenting ability to pound his

opponent into submission.

Hence the name Pummel.

>> Ah, Caseius. Isn't Caseius Clay named

his son after a certain famous boxer?

>> Well, he was hardly likely to name him

after a famous florist, was he?

>> You did an amazing job.

Thanks,

George. Isn't it

>> What's the name of the dog?

>> The dog? The one that was out there, you

know.

>> Uh, Nico, I believe. Oh,

>> who's Nico?

>> The dog is called Nico.

>> What dog?

>> Did an amazing job. So, any comingings

and goings with a resident is recorded

here?

>> Yes.

>> And can they leave at night?

>> No, the doors are locked at 7:30 p.m.

>> They need to be let out by night staff

and only then if accompanied by a family

member.

>> And what about CCTV cameras?

>> We don't have them. Please understand,

detective. This is a home, not a prison.

A resident's privacy is respected.

>> Excuse me, Lydia. I've settled Edward,

but he was very agitated. Well, there's

been some unusual excitement this

morning.

>> He talks about leaving the premises. You

need better security.

>> What Edward says and actually does are

not necessarily the same thing.

>> What about the secure unit?

>> The time for that will be decided by the

clinical professionals.

>> You mean it's full?

>> Spaces become available regularly.

>> It's full and you can't meet my

brother's needs.

>> Edward is safe. Please accept that.

Detective.

>> Detective Sims.

>> Who?

>> Considering an early retirement, food's

not bad here.

>> Not quite. What about you?

>> Here my court off for an outing. Down to

the river to feed the ducks and a cup of

tea at the kiosk. Why are you here?

>> Uh, work.

>> Serious.

H

>> go

>> have you met detective since?

>> Hi.

>> Doing an amazing job.

>> Oh, it's early days yet.

>> She's a dance instructor.

>> Okay, let's get you out of this place.

>> Dance instructor. Hidden talents.

>> Hello.

>> Yes.

She has a disconcerting knack for

getting around. I feel like I know less

than I did when I got here.

>> Desiree Smelts has no idea where she was

last night, but she sure knows how to

play poker.

>> Oh, did you get fleeced?

>> 10 bucks in the line of duty. Beaten by

someone with dementia. How does that

work?

Mitch Casius Waterson's investment

company, Blue Monarch Investments,

collapsed after the GFC, owing millions

to mom and dad investors.

There were clearly a lot of

irregularities, but the serious fraud

office couldn't get anything to stick.

Waterson walked away from it all. There

was deep resentment that he was never

charged with anything.

>> Hence, there was a recent outcry when he

acquired a new million-doll home on

Bandon Drive. despite the fact that he

is supposedly bankrupt.

>> His creditors list is extensive,

but notable names include Edward Aerson,

his brother and sister Wesley and

Catherine,

Kenny Waterson,

>> his own father.

>> Yeah. Margaret Dwire, Desiree Smeltz,

>> but not George Mahood.

>> He's not on the list. According to the

dog handler, the scent trail led from

the gym bag exhibit A at the front door

of Watson's to Sunset Manor via Princess

Park where they located a copy of the

rest home activity sheet exhibit B

presumably dropped from the pocket of

the offender and the dog indicated

clearly on Pummel, Edward, Margaret,

Desiree, and George. So, one of those

five or all five went to the Watson

house

>> on foot. Unlikely.

>> Or maybe it was your friend Margaret.

She's a boover.

>> But the scent is our main lead.

>> That's a strong lead.

>> A dog lead even.

Sorry.

>> The good news is you are right that the

girl is not Russian.

The tento sword,

>> double-edged like the kangjali,

>> but worn by the samurai class of feudal

Japan.

>> Most likely a replica of the Shinto from

around the 16th century.

>> So, not the KGB, then.

>> You never know. Using foreign weapons

could be a ploy to cover their tracks. I

have deleted my Facebook account and

told my mother not to call me just in

case.

>> Gina, whoever killed Mitch Waterson is

unlikely to have been a Russian

operative. There were plenty of people

unhappy with him for reasons a lot

simpler than espionage.

Is that a bank note?

>> $10 to be more precise.

It can mean only one thing. A collector

came and took his pound of flesh.

>> Certainly owed a lot of people a lot of

money.

>> So it is a message.

Blood money.

Mind if I join you? Head out of the

company. George is off in his own little

world.

>> How long has he been at Sunset Manor? A

>> few months. Reckon he's gone downhill

fast.

>> Was it the best place for him?

>> I wanted him to come and stay with us

after Que died. He said he didn't want

to be a burden. Checked himself into

Sunset Manor.

No sooner was he there. It was like he

let go. Can't remember a thing.

>> The ducks are doing an amazing job.

>> Dementia

>> just a flash word for getting old, isn't

it?

>> The reason that we were at Sunset Manor

is that a dog picked up a clear scent

from an incident. Abandoned drive. Do

you know if George has any association

with Mitch Cas Wat?

>> I'm a Watson son.

>> You know him?

>> I knew what you hear in the news.

>> Also train at Pummel's old gym. Boxing.

>> Yeah, I love it. It's great for fitness.

The ultimate cardio workout while

playing a game of chess.

>> Never thought about it like that.

>> I love chess. I don't get to play much

these days.

>> Well, if you want a game sometime, you

got my number.

Ready to go. Follow the leader. Catch

you.

You have a great eye.

>> Oh, thank you.

>> I hope all the excitement wasn't too

much for Mr. Alderson.

>> My brother has dementia.

Excitement and confusion are often the

same thing.

Catherine, I understand you suffered

financial loss with Blue Monarch

Investments

>> along with many others.

>> Mitch Wat has been found dead at his

home.

>> Oh, I see.

I presume it wasn't accidental.

>> No. And it can't have been a heart

attack because

>> he didn't have a heart.

>> We followed a lead to Sunset Manor. It

seems that many of his victims are

there.

>> They're everywhere.

We were fools and we were fooled.

>> Did you ever meet him personally?

>> My brother Wes knew him through his

father, Kenny.

>> Pummel?

>> Wes and Pummel and Jim

about 9 years ago.

Mitch got his father to gather his

friends and acquaintances together.

That's how the seduction began. Don't

rely on the government to give you the

retirement you deserve. Rely on Blue

Mike. Take what you have. Grow it with

us.

>> He took our modest savings with promises

of great returns. Of course, they never

came and nothing at all was returned. So

now I live in a two-bedroom rented unit

with Wes and we struggle to make ends

meet, but we make do.

>> I'm sorry to hear that.

>> Yes.

where snores terribly,

but at least we have our health

>> and your painting.

>> That reminds me that there is still

beauty in this world.

>> I'll leave you to it,

>> detective. I don't mean to sound bitter.

>> I was, but I'm not now. Life is too

short to carry bitterness.

>> I understand.

>> And can I be honest with you?

>> Yes.

When you told me Mitch Waters was dead

inside I

smiled.

That's unkind. I know. But I did.

Just being honest.

I'm like Mitch Waterson.

Lydia, is there any record of when

Pummel Waterson last visited his son or

his son visited him?

>> Mitch Waterson, it's in the courier this

morning. It's terrible. Pummel's been

very agitated. Every time his son's

death is mentioned, it's like he's

learning it for the first time.

>> I informed him yesterday.

>> Yesterday never happened for Pummel.

Likewise, today will be forgotten.

>> Did her son visit often?

Pummel's been with us for 6 years. Mitch

never came once. Given his history, it's

hardly welcome here.

>> His new wife did though. She um made

quite an effort.

>> Hello, Pummel.

>> Who are you?

>> Uh, Detective Mike Shepard.

>> Detective Kristen Sims.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> We're just admiring all your success on

the wall here.

>> Oh, yeah. That's me. Yeah. Yeah.

Different times.

>> That looks like it once held a sword of

some sort.

>> Oh, yeah. That was a gift from him.

Hashimoto Jones.

Yeah. I took him out in the ninth.

A good old oldfashioned double left jam

and uppercut. Uh, beautiful. Beautiful.

1971.

>> 1971.

>> And you've got the world title.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Third year in a row. You

know, Hashimoto presented me with a

ceremonial sword in honor of his own

defeat. Very honorable. You see these

jabs? Hey. Yeah. Good bloke though. Good

bloke. Fair fighter.

are some

>> such as

>> what?

>> Some aren't honorable.

>> What? I don't understand. Who's she

talking about,

>> Pummel? The scabbard is empty. Do you

know where the sword might be now?

>> No, no idea.

Oh, this place is full of bloody

thieves.

Pleasant.

Yeah, bloody Klesnik.

>> As a matter of interest, do you have a

resident here by the name of Klnik?

>> No one by that name.

>> Right. With the resident's rooms being

on the small side, some valuables are

left in storage. Anyway, Mr. Watson

sword's here somewhere. Oh, here it is.

Do other residents have access to this

ring?

>> No, this is private property and

respected as such.

>> And if say Mr. Waterson wanted to access

his sword,

>> then a staff member would enter to

retrieve what they need. We wouldn't

encourage it though. Dementia patients

running around with swords. It's not a

good look with held in safety.

>> Looks exactly the same as the one found

in Mitch Waterson.

>> Yeah.

>> Excuse me.

>> Oh, Mr.

Yes. I think you should take me down to

the station

>> because

>> I'm sure that I killed someone last

night.

>> Instead of the station, why don't we

find a seat and have a

>> No one will be going anywhere without a

lawyer present. Are you okay?

>> Yes.

>> I thought I'd made it clear that my

brother was not to be harassed.

>> Edward approached us.

>> What? What's that? Did you approach the

detectives?

Who? Your detectives?

Yes, he was.

>> Oh, then I'm I'm not sure I should say

anything.

>> Can't you see the distress you're

causing him? Come on, Eddie. Come on.

Let's get you settled.

>> My sister's very protective.

She's worried you're putting pressure on

Edward.

You have to understand he's likely to

say some very silly things.

Who is it?

>> DC Breen Brokenwood CIB inquiring about

an incident near here the night before

last.

>> So now you want to know.

>> Sorry.

>> You have ID?

Hi, DC Breen.

>> Christopher Kramer.

>> Now, I want to know what

>> about unusual activity around the area

night before last.

>> Yes.

>> Well, you've come to the right place.

>> So, what can you tell me?

>> You better come inside.

>> Sure.

>> I just have to scan you first.

>> Scan me for what?

Is this going to take much longer? Sh.

Just as I thought. Negative energy.

>> Okay, step through, please.

>> It's ozone. It's quite safe. It'll

recalibrate any indifferences.

>> Right. What can you tell me?

>> Nothing. After all, there's nothing.

>> But I can show you.

>> Come to my office.

>> What exactly is your line of work?

>> I discover and collate the unseen truth.

>> Is that a magazine?

>> No. No. It is what it is. It's the

unseen truth.

What we don't see that we know to be

true.

Five elderly residents give a strong

indication to a police dog. One uses a

zimmer frame. The chances of Margaret

walking from Marabone Street to Bandon

Drive are

>> unlikely.

>> The weapon used in Wat's murder is

identical to one his father owns,

>> but his is under lock and key.

>> Edward's lawyer is here.

>> Are you expecting someone?

>> No.

acting on instructions for my clients

Katherine and Wesley Aston.

>> How did you become involved with their

brother?

>> I filed a class action against Mitch

Casius Waters suing for negligence

causing the collapse of his company and

that man clearly prayed on the desperate

and Delli but with the retirement

savings they were sitting ducks. They

used his father's introduction to gain

their trust, unzipped his pockets and

just let the money pour in. The banks

were offering what? 5%. With Bulimmonic,

we don't get out of bed for less than

12%.

>> Was it a Ponzi scam?

>> More a sophisticated form of deception.

In the end, a serious fraud office could

nail him. So, I vowed to take him for

task and get some justice. Case is

strong. The law is on our side. So, all

in favor of suing the bastard.

Ah,

>> fighting talk. I love it.

>> And a a handsome fee for you, I presume.

>> Proono, detective. These victims have

already had enough taken away. I saw it

as a way of giving back.

>> 48.

>> WHAT'S THIS PLACE?

>> THIS IS your son's house.

>> Who's that bloke then? That's Mitch.

Your son. Casius,

>> make no mistake,

>> Mitch Casius Wat stole from the poor to

make himself rich.

>> Like an inverse Robin Hood.

>> Perverse would probably be a better

word.

>> So you got their money back?

>> Unfortunately, no. About a month ago, I

had to break the news.

>> And we know he has your money, but it is

salted away in trusts.

Sadly, I've exhausted all legal

channels, both civil and criminal.

>> Sorry, folks.

It's over. When you describe the protest

outside Mitch's house, Edward, Pummel,

George, Margaret, and Desro were all

there.

>> H was a number of others.

>> That puts five of the five at the crime

scene.

>> So, Wat's money isn't gone. Yeah,

>> it exists.

It just can't be reached.

Does his death change anything?

>> As to whether we ever see that money

again depends on who the main

beneficiaries of his trusts are.

>> Let me save you some time, detective.

The main beneficiary is his new wife,

>> Jules Fe. Yes. So, why don't you look

into the affairs of that witch instead

of harassing the aged and the ailing?

>> We'll let you know if we need to talk to

Edward again.

>> Actually, I represent all of you persons

of interest.

So, I suspect we'll be seeing quite a

lot of each other.

>> Uh, we're still to get formal statements

from the residents.

Perhaps you could help.

>> Yeah, as you wish.

Well, I sense a field trip coming on.

>> These people love an outing.

>> Last I remember, you and Jules Fe were

an item.

Well, while I was busy slaving away,

trying to take Mitch Watson down, and

she was busy falling in love with him.

It all ended very acriimmoniously. And

>> she broke your heart.

>> I wouldn't go that far.

What I do know now is I wouldn't trust

her as far as I could throw her.

Hey,

>> uh, we have yet to verify Jules's alibi,

right?

>> The wife is beneficiary, you mean? Well,

she has the most to gain, but there's a

lot of money somewhere, and Dennis

Buchanan doesn't trust her.

>> See if she's ready for the followup.

>> Okay, I really need you to bear with me.

>> What do you got?

>> I've just returned from Planet Wiggy.

And I mean that almost literally. A

Christopher Kramer lives at number zero

Bandon Drive. It's up the hill from

Watson's.

>> Number zero.

>> It represents a tear in the fabric of

the universe. Right.

>> Christopher Kramer witnessed an alien

spaceship land on Mitch Waterson's

house.

>> Prior to that, he saw Batman passing his

house. And apparently, it's not the

first time. He's been spotting him for a

couple of weeks walking past

>> at the same bat time, same bat channel.

>> Safe to let this one slide, I think.

Brian,

>> I know. I know. I was thinking that,

too, until he showed me photos.

Is that

>> Huh? It's Jimbeck.

>> Who is this? Christopher Kramer,

>> a self-taught cosmologist. He believes

in the unseen truth.

>> Is this legit?

>> I think so.

Bring him in.

I'll

>> try.

When I met Mitch, I thought he had

nothing. Nothing but an amazing spirit.

I fell in love with the man, not the

myth. And you must understand that's all

it was, a myth. These people accepted

there was risk for higher return.

It failed. Their money was lost.

It's the world of finance.

>> This happened before you got together.

Yes.

>> Not all the money is gone, though.

>> What do you mean?

>> I understand there were trusts he set up

to shelter his assets.

>> Who told you that?

>> Dennis Buchanan.

>> Dennis,

he's hardly objective.

>> But is it true?

>> It's complicated.

You said the harassment had happened

before.

The gym bag, caketon, wheelbarrow,

someone leaving notes.

Why didn't Mitch come to the police?

>> Too proud.

He thought he could handle it himself

with a softball.

>> He was very stressed.

He called me that night.

>> They're at it again. I can't call the

cops. There's no point.

I'll call you later.

>> When was this?

>> 11.

>> 10:47. Then

we talked. He said he'd call back.

Never did.

>> Who do you think might have done it?

Don't know.

There are so many angry people out

there.

>> I understand you visit Mitch's father

regularly.

>> PL.

Yes. I felt sorry for him. His and

Mitch's relationship was

non-existent since the collapse of the

company.

>> Mitch was too embarrassed to face his

father.

>> Something like that.

So, I pop in weekly, see how he's doing.

Not that I always feel welcome.

>> All right, I'm off now, Kenny. I'm off

to visit my mom in Hamilton.

>> I hate Hamilton.

>> I'll see you next week as usual.

>> You really have no place for you, Miss

Fee.

>> I don't think that's up to you.

>> Living well, are we high on the hog?

Dining out on other people's money.

It's hard living as a pariah.

Love makes one do crazy things.

>> Such as

>> sticking it out through thick and thin.

But if you can't have the back of the

one you love, well,

what is that?

You said you were in Hamilton when Mitch

called you.

>> Yes.

>> You must have left very early to make it

back by 10:30.

>> I cut my trip short. After Mitch's call,

I was worried. With good reason, as it

turned out.

>> Could I have the phone number and

address of where you stayed in Hamilton?

>> Why?

>> To verify your visit. A formality.

Do you seriously think that I'm capable

of stabbing my husband in the back?

>> Can I answer that?

>> Uh, yes.

>> Really, Dennis? You need to get over it.

>> Oh, my pride may have been wounded, but

my heart is mended. What about you?

>> What about me?

>> Are you over it?

>> You sleeping well? Living off the

illgotten gains of others misfortune?

>> You see what I have to put up with?

as requested

and they're all very excited about

giving you their full and frank

cooperation.

>> Margaret, thanks for coming in. You were

feeling well?

>> Yes.

>> Tell me, do you remember where you were

the night before last?

>> Yes. And where might that have been?

>> I was there at Sunset Mana.

>> Yes.

>> And can you remember if you left the

home at all?

>> Yes.

>> You did.

>> No, you didn't leave.

>> No,

but I remember.

>> Oh, I did it.

>> Edward, let the detective actually ask

you a question first. Okay.

>> You did what? Killed the chap.

Who exactly?

>> Him.

>> Mitch Waterson.

>> You don't have to answer that.

>> No. No. That that was him. He He

deserved everything he had coming.

So, I'll go peacefully.

>> Can you remember how you killed? But I

shot him with with the revolver.

>> Fancy a game of cards.

>> Sorry, I'm working. I've got 10 bucks.

Sorry. On the night before last, did you

leave Sunset Manor?

>> Yes.

>> Yes, you did. Or you?

>> Yes. I love dogs.

>> Then I I wrestled him to the ground and

I hit him

>> with

>> Why? With a candlestick.

>> Pummel, can you remember the last time

you saw your son, Mitch?

>> Yes. Yes.

>> Now, he's no son of mine. I was at

Sunset Manor all night.

>> My client was hardly out roller skating.

>> I didn't.

>> That's right. And I I I ced him with a

piece of lead piping.

>> You're doing an amazing job.

>> I was a big fan of Strip Jack Naked when

I was younger.

>> Sit down, Kenny.

>> Sit down. You're making a fuss. fast.

>> You're doing an amazing job.

>> No, I strangled him with a with a piece

of uh

>> rope.

>> That's it. You have to use the rope.

>> All the weapons in a game of clutter.

>> Except the dagger.

>> Well, that was fun.

Glad you were entertained. Well,

sometimes you got to accept the obvious.

And what in your wisdom would that be?

Most of them can barely cut their corn

beef to stab a fighting fit man in his

50s.

Cheerio detective

Edward,

his brother and sister Pummel, Desiree,

and Margaret all lost money to Blue

Monarch Investments.

Having exhausted all legal avenues,

every one of them had a very strong

motive to want to kill him. But none of

them are strong enough to do it. Mitch

could swat them away like flies.

>> Let alone make their way from Sunset

Manor to the Watson house.

Where the hell is Breen?

>> Mike.

Hello Christie. Gina. Hi. I have been

working the angles

>> on

>> the trajectory of the tanto into the

victim.

Please.

The angle of the entry is through the

trapezius under the clavicle and down

into the heart.

>> So with Mitch Waterson being about 6T,

you're saying the offender had to be

tall.

>> No, all I'm saying is the thrust was

clearly downward and strong,

perhaps ceremonial, because if the

victim was kneeling, it could have been

done by a dwarf.

ceremonially

>> maybe. Oh,

>> that's a good idea. Thanks, Gina.

>> I will keep thinking for you. Good

night, Mike.

>> Christine,

>> I have Christopher Kramer in the car.

That took a while. Don't get me started.

Okay. The guy is incredibly paranoid

about being identified by the unseen

truth.

>> Yes,

>> Christopher. It's DC Breen.

>> Hello, DC Breen.

I need you to come down to the station

with me. It won't take long. Look,

>> I I won't be laughed at.

>> Nobody's going to laugh at you.

>> M got some yummy Tai salad here.

>> You want some?

>> I'm vegetarian.

>> Come on, Christopher.

>> I'm just feeling quite anxious.

>> It's nothing to be anxious about. My

boss is a nice guy.

You have a space blanket.

>> What's with the space blanket?

>> It's for deflecting radio waves and

isotopes.

>> Christopher, could you take off your

glasses, please?

>> I like this room.

>> Good.

It's uh reasonably secure.

What's your roof made of?

>> Tiles, I think.

>> Porous, vulnerable. You might want to

get that looked at.

>> I'll make a note of it.

>> Well, don't humor me. It's free advice.

Take it or leave it.

>> Christopher, I understand from DC Brain

that you saw a man walking past your

house two nights ago.

>> Batman.

>> That's right. Batman.

>> Not the real Batman, of course.

>> Right.

Who do you think it might have?

>> Well, they made him look like Batman.

He was a scout.

>> A scout for

>> Well, then those that are coming, or

should I say have arrived. Uh, they sent

him here a few weeks ago to look for a

landing site,

>> which you believe to be Mr. Waterson's.

>> I don't believe it. I know it.

I photographed it.

They arrived. Obviously, they killed Mr.

Waterson because he witnessed it. Now,

of course, so did I. But they don't know

that yet. For that reason, I'm keeping a

low profile.

>> If they arrived, as you say, at Mr.

Waterson's, where might the spaceship be

now?

>> Spaceship?

Please. This isn't Star Trek.

This is real.

>> I know he's a nut job.

He's certainly passionate about his

beliefs.

>> But we can assume that whoever killed

Mitch Waterson may have been

masquerading as Batman.

>> I agree. If we find this Batman, we may

well have our offender.

>> Shall I look up Bruce Wayne in the phone

book? Sorry, it's been a long day.

>> It's not over yet.

Heat. Heat.

Yep.

>> Breen, I need you to do something.

>> In position.

>> Okay, here we go.

>> Yep, I can see it.

All right, keep going.

>> Take a look at that.

Yes. Yes. My god, they're back. Oh,

>> sorry, Christopher. The plasma

spacecraft is a swimming pool light.

>> I doubt that very much.

>> Oh, Mike, turn it off.

>> Now, turn it on. Now, turn it off. Okay,

thanks.

>> I I don't understand. It's pretty binary

really. On, off, on, off.

>> I knew you were a skeptic.

>> I'm a realist.

>> For the record, I do think there is

other life out there. I'm just I'm not

sure they'll want to come to Brokenwood.

>> It would seem that whomever Batman was,

they lured Wat out of his house by

flashing his bull light.

>> The hearted diversion and surprise. So,

we have that part figured out,

>> except I'm softball bat in hand. I walk

out. I see someone fiddling with my

light. Why don't I just give him a

whack?

>> Maybe there were two offenders.

>> Yeah, a decoy and the actual killer.

>> That would make sense. Any prints on the

money?

>> Nothing. Too much water.

>> Plus, money has a thousand prints on it

anyway.

>> And nothing from exhibit B or the ransom

note.

A the FO.

Who puts a picture of a duck on money?

Why not a peacock or an eagle?

>> Because they're not native.

>> Wait, I remember from Sunday school how

the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed

on the 10th day of the first month.

Could Mitch Waterson have been a

sacrificial lamb in a process of

restitution?

>> Well, given he was killed on the seventh

day of the fifth month, no.

Oh,

>> what?

>> Uh, just remembered it's my anniversary

on Friday. 4 years.

>> Congrats.

>> As I recall, 4 years is linen or silk.

So, will it be a trip to the lingerie

shop?

>> No, I'm getting Roxy a new Xbox.

>> Sexy.

>> You may mock, but she actually loves

Mortal Kombat.

>> Okay, tomorrow we go over security at

Sunset Manor. Whatever way you look at

it, those were the biggest acts to grow

and live there. Time to get some sleep,

eh?

We're going to the gym, champ.

>> Morning, detective.

>> Getting out and about again. Oh,

>> I organize a bi-weekly outing. If you

want to talk, you'll have to come with

us.

Let's follow them.

I set this place up when Kenny retired,

so I bring them here when I can. And the

others enjoy a spot of fugitivism, too.

I like watching a new generation of

boxers come through. Oh, here we go.

>> I know. My money is on.

>> Nice to see you, detective.

>> Cahoo.

>> And yours.

>> I want a fair fight. Nothing below the

belt. Three rounds of three touch.

>> Go green.

>> There's no green, Edward. It's red or

blue.

>> Oh.

Sorry. Sorry,

>> dude. I wasn't ready. We're here to box

Froto, not check out the women.

Come on.

>> What was that? You're supposed to dance,

boy. Huh? You were dragging your feet

like the hunchback on

>> I've got a limp, man. I shot myself in

the foot.

>> What did you do that for?

>> Well done.

>> I lost.

>> I know. I made 10 bucks.

>> You uh still own this place?

>> No, not anymore.

I had to wind it up along with

everything else when that con man sold

us out.

>> That con man being Mitch.

>> He drained every dollar out of anyone he

met. He not only fleeced his own father,

he shamed him, used him, and then cast

him aside. No respect.

>> Did you lose this place as part of the

collateral fallout?

>> Well, the new owner lets me come and go.

It's a respect for the elderly and

foolish.

>> You're hardly elderly. A

>> bit foolish. Thanks.

>> There you go.

>> Thanks.

>> It's not so bad. At least they can be

matching now.

Why didn't you tell us that's how you

got your black eye in the first place?

>> Cuz if you don't acknowledge it, it

doesn't exist. I'm not a loser.

>> There are no losers in sparring fights.

Froto came second.

>> Thanks, Roads. Good fight.

>> Next time I'm taking you down.

>> Sweet.

You can give it a go.

>> I'm not sure I saw much chess in the

ring.

This is you.

>> Yeah.

>> After the Hashimoto fight.

>> Yeah.

>> There were two swords given.

>> One each. Yeah.

>> I take it you still have it.

>> I think so. Why?

>> Could I see it?

>> Yeah, sure. It'll be home somewhere.

>> Oh, can I get a ride? I I don't drive.

Of course. Yeah. Look, I'll give my

sister a ring. Tell her to put the jug

on.

My sister's an artist.

>> Oh, yes. I know.

>> She gives it her everything. But

>> well, as my mother used to say, if you

can't say something nice,

>> don't say anything at all. I can count

on your sensitivity.

>> My apologies. I was painting when's

called. The light was so buolic. I

couldn't let it go.

>> Detective Shepherd wants to see that old

ornamental sword I got from the

Hashimoto Jones fight.

>> Oh, I see.

>> Made it in the move, didn't it? Well, if

it's anywhere,

it'll be in the garage.

When everything went pear shapes, we had

to downsize.

Always meant to declutter, but you know,

now

there it is.

Hardly proud of place and I collected a

lot of junk over the years. Doesn't feel

that special

>> even though you won the world title

>> for the third time. Expect those things

are a dime a dozen in the tourist shops

of Tokyo.

>> Thanks. Sorry to have trouble.

>> Thanks for the tea.

>> Oh, you're welcome. Did you find it?

>> Yes. Uh quite beautiful.

And these two.

>> Oh, too kind.

>> You're very prolific.

>> Where's and I have very little. So I I

paint away my time and my woes.

>> That would have to be Sir Edmund

Hillary.

>> Well done. Yes. Man who conquered the

highest mountain and then gave back to

the community.

>> Helen Clark,

>> New Zealand's first elected female prime

minister. What an achievement.

>> And

oh, come on, detective. Huh?

Your namesake, Kate Shepherd.

She took the power from a male-dominated

society and reallocated it fairly.

>> Of course, they're very good.

Well, I need to get back to Sunset

Manor. Thanks again for the tea.

Good work on the art appreciation.

>> It's not too bad. Well,

>> you don't have to live with it.

Look, uh, this business with Edward, I'm

worried it might be causing a rapid

deterioration in his mental state.

>> I doubt we'll need to talk to Edward

again.

>> Oh, well, that's good.

>> Ah, light. Just too perfect. Last

night's casserole to be heated up for

dinner.

Casserole

again. Not like the heady days with

Pummel. We were winded and dined across

the globe.

Still, that's what you get with age.

A gentle slide into irrelevancy and

culinary boredom.

Well, still time for a power walk. This

exercise is free.

Nice meet you guy.

>> Here you are.

>> Are we okay?

>> Yes. Thank you.

>> It's been like Grand Central Station

today.

>> In what way?

>> I say. What do you think? My sister just

gave it to me. Marvelous, don't you

think,

>> Edward? It's very good.

>> Her sister's very kind to sort that for

you.

>> Oh, did she? When? just before she swaps

his pictures around. Keeps things fresh.

>> I KILLED HIM. I KILLED HIM.

>> Excuse me.

>> I killed him. I killed him. I KILLED

HIM. I KILLED HIM. I killed him.

>> Mr. Wat, please

>> take it easy, brother. It's all good.

>> I killed him. And I can kill you, too.

>> He's gone crazy again.

>> Completely lost the plot.

>> He thought I hit his ball.

>> I killed him. Put the pole queue down,

please.

>> Killed him. I killed him.

>> It's okay, Pummel. How about you give me

the queue?

>> You want this?

>> Yes.

What?

Give me the cue.

You want a game?

Yeah, why not?

So, who did you kill?

>> Krisnik.

I killed Boris Krishnik.

>> Morning, detective.

>> We wondering if I could have a word.

>> Yeah, of course. But it's a beautiful

morning. I'm just off for a power walk.

If you want to talk, you're welcome to

join me.

>> Yeah. Um

Boris Krismik. There's a blast from the

past.

>> I uh understand he was a boxer.

>> Yeah.

>> Uh Pummel was heard talking about him

yesterday.

>> Really? Well, he was Pummel's arch rival

and the man who brought his career to an

end.

>> 1973.

>> Yeah, that's right.

Mind if we take a breather? Oh. Sure.

>> You got to realize that in the four

years leading up to that fight, Pummel

was invincible.

48 wins, 13 by knockout, two draws, no

losses.

Only Krishnik ever managed to find his

weak spot.

In the fifth round, Krznik whispered

something to Pummel.

We are west.

>> And in that brief second, while Pummel

processed the thought that this Soviet

thug had been intimate with his wife,

he dropped his guard

8.

>> That was that

never boxed again.

>> Did his marriage survive? No, she took

off with the Bolshevik. Left Pummel with

the kid.

>> Pummel believes he killed Boris. Well,

that's hardly likely.

The last I heard, Boris was alive and

well and living in Vladivosto.

Dementia really is a fickle mistress.

Anyhow, onward, shall we?

I should probably give back. Suit

yourself

with extra hot water.

>> Thank you.

>> They call that an Americano. You know,

>> this is Marlo. Hello.

>> Or a gringo negro colloally speaking.

>> Oh, you learn something new every day.

>> Yes, quite. Um, detective, have you got

a moment?

>> Of course. I have a confession to make.

>> Okay. About

>> Well, it's been nagging at me and I feel

I have to come clean. It's about my

friend Edward.

>> Yes.

>> Well, perhaps perhaps he wasn't where he

thought he was the night Mr. Waterson

was killed.

>> Oh,

Edward goes walkabout. You see

>> at night?

>> Yes. I stumbled across him quite by

accident. I was driving home from the

theater. I'd been to the local

production of O Kolkata. They were all

completely nude. Oh, it was very

interesting.

He can't tell the colors apart, you see.

He sees only in monochrome.

>> Edward.

So he stops there.

>> Same place each night.

>> Where do you think you're going?

>> I really couldn't tell you. Well,

>> best we get you home.

>> So, I make it my business to pick him up

and deliver him back to his room every

night.

>> Dreadfully tiring.

At

least we get you back into bed, you

funny old thing.

>> Mrs. Marlo, why haven't you told

someone?

>> Once they start wandering, they're put

into the secure unit. And I can't be

putting up with that. Oh, no. Not for

Edward.

And when was the last time he went

walking?

>> The night Mr. Waterson died.

>> Edward,

it's come to our attention that you've

been leaving the premises of Sunset

Manor late at night.

>> Oh, have I?

Specifically on the night Mitch Waterson

was killed.

>> How do you know this? Jean Marlo has

been picking him up from the traffic

lights on Talamore Street over the

course of several nights.

>> Jean Marlo, please. She can't be

trusted.

>> Edward, do you know how you got there?

>> Where?

>> At the traffic lights.

>> Oh, no. I don't drive anymore. You were

on foot apparently.

>> Was I?

>> Do you remember leaving Sunset Manor?

at night, you say?

>> Yes. Do you remember leaving? Was there

someone with you or helping you?

>> No, I I'm sorry. I I I don't know.

>> Detectives, this is leading nowhere.

It's clearly upsetting your clock.

>> No, wait.

No, I'm I'm sorry. I I thought uh but

then

Jesus really must we go through the

charade.

>> Wait.

Oh, this is cruel.

>> Okay.

Thank you.

>> Batman.

>> Did you say Batman?

>> I was clearly confused.

>> No, wait.

Edward,

you said Batman.

>> Yes, the caped crusader.

I was his lookout man. That's right. I

waited by the lights while he went to

get my money back from Watson.

Have I got it back yet? I I can't

remember.

No, Eddie,

not yet.

So, the reason the dog sent Trace back

to Sunset Manor is because Batman lives

here

>> or at the very least visits Sunset Manor

>> to escort Edward out.

>> And if Edward got in and out, who else

did? DC Breen has a warrant to search

several rooms.

>> If you must,

>> I take it the residents don't know the

key code. No, only staff.

>> Look, I assure you, detective, this

place is absolutely secure at night. All

doors are locked.

>> Which are the doors,

>> George? Detective Shepherd?

>> Yes.

Under

>> this door remains locked as well. No one

could enter.

>> Well, it would hardly stop someone from

leaving.

This is the staff lockers. But again,

it's always checked at night. No one

could get in.

>> It's hardly Fort Knox.

>> Boss

still over.

>> Yeah. Yes. Detective,

>> you remember which ball?

I guess I did.

>> And you remembered me.

>> I guess I did.

>> Is that because I'm doing an amazing

job?

>> Guess you are.

>> George,

have you ever been diagnosed with

dementia?

>> Detective?

Asking a dementia suffer to remember

their medical records? Really? My client

can't answer that.

>> I think he can.

>> I admit the dementia thing. I I play it

up a bit.

>> So, it's fair to say you've never been

diagnosed.

>> It's more a case of when in Rome.

I used to visit my old mate pummel

there. I got to know the place. Then

when my wife passed, I thought I'd move

in rather than be a drain on the far.

But

>> your grandson Kahu says they didn't want

you to go. They wanted to look after

you.

Perhaps you had another reason to want

to be there.

>> Sadly, I've exhausted all legal

channels, both civil and criminal.

Sorry, folks. It's over.

>> I'm crying.

Why are we crying?

>> It's all right, my friend. That guy,

Waters, had caused a whole world of pain

in those people.

I wanted to do something.

So, I put together a disguise.

Everyone at Inbbo, but was a liability.

So, each night I'd park him at the

lights. I'll be back when the light

changes blue.

>> Blue. Mhm.

>> All right. And

>> then I'll visit Watson's and invite him

to give the money back.

>> Get that out of here.

Come on, come here.

>> Then I pick up Edward on the way back.

But Mrs. Marlo took over.

So I left Edward in her safe hands.

It was only my intention to frighten Wat

into giving the money back.

I wanted to do something for my friends,

>> which places you at the scene of the

crime.

>> Not necessarily.

>> I was. Yes.

>> Okay. But that's not the same as

committing any crime. You were witnessed

by a Christopher Kramer approaching the

scene

then again leaving.

So when you did your hugging thing on

Mar,

>> you mixed your scent with everyone else.

Got Eddie.

>> And on your way back to Sunset Manor

through Prince's Park, you dropped this.

>> Look familiar?

I didn't kill Orerson.

I swear I didn't touch him.

>> But you wanted to.

>> Detective, you have no evidence of that.

>> This is all got a bit out of hand, isn't

it?

>> He seems like such a softy.

>> He's there.

He has motive.

Something doesn't add up.

Kramer photographed Jules running away

at 10:49. See, he has no gym bag and

he's heading west about a 3-minute walk

away from Mitch's house. But Mitch

Waterson phoned Jules at 10:47. They

spoke. He wasn't dead. He was alive.

And Kramer saw the aliens landing at

10:51,

which means

>> George can't have been present when

Mortis was killed.

>> So exonerated by a crazy Chris Kramer.

Or fear of nothing, detective. Not even

harassment because Watson never laid a

complaint.

>> So I'm not being charged.

>> Not even for a bad costume design, my

friend. Unless you want to charge him

with asking a crook to repay

misappropriated funds.

>> George, you're free to go. Sims here

will show you gentlemen out.

>> Knock knock.

>> Gina,

>> I don't want to disturb, but I had

another thought about the money.

>> Okay. If the offender had used a $100

note, then it would have been Ernest

Ratherford on the picture,

>> the man who split the atom.

>> Some say the father of the atomic bomb.

This would have been a sign perhaps that

it was espionage,

but also a very rich person to throw

away this money. But if it had been a $5

bill, then it would have been Sir Edmund

Hillary and perhaps a poor person.

Of course

I could kiss you, Gina.

>> Really? Why don't you?

>> Uh, Breen Kristen, let's go.

>> Hi, detectives.

>> We need to photograph the Tanto sword

your brother has in storage.

Boss, we have what we need. We'll up to

the lab for cross referencing.

>> Yep, sure. And you'll check on Pummel's

one at the mana tomorrow.

First thing. Thanks.

>> I'm sorry. Is there a problem?

>> No, it's just that a sort of a similar

description was used in Mitch Watson's

murder.

>> Oh, I see.

>> So, we need to cross reference all known

Tanto swords in the country. It's the

tedious side to our job. But now that we

have wizards on record, we won't need to

bother you again. Thanks for your

patience.

>> Of course. Good luck.

Coming your way,

>> Mike. The Fo has flown.

There's Austin.

>> Oh, hello. I was

>> I was hoping to see you.

>> Why is that?

>> I'm keen to see your new painting.

May I?

Art, it isn't finished.

I like a work in progress.

It was easy to smuggle pummel out at

night. Edward and George were doing it.

The place leaked like a sie.

>> Where are we going? Shush, Kenny.

Quietly. Quietly. We're going to see an

old friend.

>> After all, you're the person that Pummel

trusts most.

>> You drove Wears and Pummel up to Mitch's

house.

You knew Mitch would be alone because

>> you'd overheard Jules Fee saying she'd

be away. All right, I'm off now, Kenny.

I'm off to visit my mom in Hamilton.

>> Where are we going?

>> To get even, Kenny.

To get even.

>> Boris Klausnik is about to show his

face. Boris cosmic shell

are you doing here?

>> It's Boris. It's Boris Klnik.

>> What? What? a human belt.

>> Leaving by car meant there was no scent

for the dog to pick up.

>> And when thanks to George the Caped

Crusader, our investigation quickly

closed in on Sunset Manor.

>> Then it became a rather manic game of

switching the remaining sword between

two places to keep us guessing.

Look, I'll give my sister a ring. Tell

her to put the jug on.

>> Oh, hello, Catherine.

>> Just swapping Edward's paintings keeps

his mind stimulated.

>> On the guise of helping Edward, you were

free to switch the sword as needed.

>> But the giveaway,

>> like any artist, you felt the need to

put a signature to your work.

But I'm curious. How could Mitch know

you'd got your revenge with the $10 note

in his back?

>> Oh, he knew.

>> Boris Klnik is about to show his face.

>> Boris Klnik, the hell are you doing

here?

>> I'm here to give you my last $10, Mr.

Wood. Why not have it all?

>> What? What are you talking about? What?

$10?

>> It's Boris. It's Boris Klnik.

>> I'm not sure Kate Shepard would condone

your version of women taking the power

back. Justice was done.

And for Pummel, it's as if nothing had

happened.

>> He killed his son is what happened.

>> No, in Pummel's mind, he killed Boris

Krznik.

And in that brief moment, he got what he

wanted.

My client did not kill Mr. Waters.

>> But you put the murder weapon in the

offender's hand.

Party's murder for now.

>> He took everything, you know, everything

we built up in the past. Everything we

might want TO DO IN THE FUTURE. HE HAD

NO RIGHT. No right.

>> Well, at least we got our own space.

Pummel will be deemed unfit to stand

trial. You know that. Is it worth

pursuing?

>> Well, here's a familiar number.

Kel Supre Masher.

I am taking this seriously very much.

All right. I'll meet you there.

Well, seems Jules Fay here has grown a

conscience.

>> In what way?

>> She wants legal advice on how to unlock

trust and release the funds back to

Watson's creditors. I'm going to meet

her for a drink.

>> I thought you couldn't trust her.

>> Innocent until proven guilty, detective.

Innocent

until proven guilty.

Palmer Waterson kills his own son

thinking he's a Soviet boxer and has no

memory of it.

>> Yeah, but does it constitute murder

>> or even intent?

>> I'll bring him in.

>> Leave it with me. It's Friday night.

You have your anniversary dinner and I

know you have a date. What?

>> What a date? Who with?

>> Um, A, don't look so surprised. B, it's

none of your business. And C, it's not

really a date. Sort of more of a game.

>> The dating game.

>> Go, go, go,

>> falling, hopeless.

All you guys better open your eyes. Get

us out of this goddamn

fight for hopeful and hopeless.

>> Ah,

romance is in the air. I say it's 4th

anniversary. It's an Xbox.

>> You romantic devil.

>> Is it true you're wanting to give the

money back?

>> Something good has to come out of all

this.

>> Time to bury the hedge. It's

>> an unfortunate turn of phrase given the

circumstances.

>> But come just dine and talk fiscal

morality.

>> I need to speak with Kenny Wat.

>> Pummel. He's been playing up. He's been

most difficult. He wanted to visit his

old gym, so the activities instructor

took him on an outing.

>> Thanks.

>> Tunnels under cold. More escapes from

Alcatraz.

>> Prison break.

>> Really, Edward?

>> Ready when you are.

Damn.

Who's that?

Who is it?

Pummel.

>> Yeah.

I know you.

>> We've met before.

I'm a detective.

Ah,

>> we need to talk about something perhaps

down the station.

>> You want me to go?

>> Yes.

Okay.

Uh,

I can't remember how to get up.

It's a funny thing. You wouldn't believe

it. It's I can't remember simple things.

It's just not there.

Tell me about Hashimoto Jones.

Hashimoto.

I I took him out in the ninth round.

Now, one turn the uppercut.

Hashimura.

He's good bloke.

Fair fighter.

I took him out in the ninth. Good old

double left jab and an uppercut.
