You would totally die if you knew what I'd done.

What did you do?

Don't you mean... who?

They have finally identified the knife.

Most likely a skinning knife.

Well, half the town would have one of them.

Is this a cry for attention? Is this 'cause I'm not around?

Get over yourself.

- Chandra has put on a spread. - Who are these jokers?

Oh. Probably the guys buying the place.

What?

_

_

_

I have the knife.

Whoever killed Hugh is setting me up.

You fucking killer!

Terry, I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Time to go, I think.

Two phone calls. Use 'em well.

Yeah, Adam went crazy and...

..nearly took her head off.

She got taken away in the...

..cop car by Bill and...

Hello?

Mum?

Are you happy now?

Well, I had to do something.

What have you told Rachel and Bill?

- Nothing, yet. - Good.

Well, I have to tell... Mum, I have to tell the truth.

For God's sake!

Don't do anything more stupid than you've already done.

I don't think I can take this again.

I... I really don't.

It's OK. I am gonna fix this.

No, no, I said to them that the sale would go through, smoothly.

- I said to them that... - Are you ready for dinner?

Let's get ready. Yeah?

I said it would be a smooth transition.

Said they had negative social media backlash last time

and they don't want the same thing happening again.

So some of the meatworkers are miffed.

Doesn't mean the sale has to be jeopardised.

Max, I told them that the town was on board with the sale.

OK? I promised them a smooth transition.

- I'd be miffed if I was a meatworker. - What are you talking about?

Oh, Kev, they're here.

Hi, hi.

- How are we? - Good. Welcome. You good?

What the hell?

I...

Oh, shit.

- Nick! Come on! - Chandra!

- Get the fire extinguisher! - Go, go, go, go!

The legal aid numpty she had last time barely lifted a finger.

Lynne, um, I do conveyancing and estates.

I'm...

..I'm not a criminal lawyer.

You're not a immigration lawyer either, but you help the refugees.

Look, Lynne.

Deborah's running for mayor, OK?

She swears she didn't do this.

Hugh Lang was practically a saint in this town.

And Miki...

..well...

..she didn't exactly do herself any favours last night.

Come on, Timbo. Time to get dressed, mate.

Yep.

Sorry. He's...

Deb, I thought I'd lost everything when Malcolm left me.

And then Miki went to prison.

And I thought, "Well, that's it.

"Life can't take anything more away from me."

And then Terry overdosed and almost didn't make it.

You know, I... I...

I didn't think I had a heart left to break, but now...

..it turns out that maybe I do.

Fucking hell.

Morning, Rachel.

Oh. I'll be in in a minute to start the Miki interview.

Oh. No rush. Deborah just rang.

She's representing her, apparently.

- Deborah is? - Yeah.

We have to wait for her to read the file.

Great.

Well, I reckon I've got time for a detour, then.

Yep.

Guys.

Honestly.

It's just a prank.

Oh, come on! Guys.

Seriously. They're just the village idiots.

Our brand is community engagement, not community warfare.

OK. Well, I'll sort it out. I will. I'll sort everything out.

We're moving on, Mr Pattison.

Please. Come on. Mate. Come...

Please!

I think it's over, Kev, mate.

Well played telling Terry. Really well played.

I said I was sorry.

Yeah, well, maybe you should just run off with Terry.

Maybe you should just piss off with little Terry,

your little boyfriend.

Oh, shut up, Kev.

Oh, for God's sake!

- Hello. - Hi.

Are you here to arrest Nick or what?

- Nick? - Yes.

- Why is that? - Because he blew up my car!

Did you see him do it, did you?

Are you serious?! They're his fireworks! Who else would do it?

Hm.

"Hm?"

Hm.

I'm sorry? "Hm?"

- Is that all you got to say, is "Hm"? - No, no, no.

I got quite a lot to say, actually, Kevin. What about last night?

When were you gonna tell me about the sale?

Well...

..it's none of your business about the sale.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, because it's over, right?

- They've gone. It's finished. - None of my business?!

It IS my business. What if you find another buyer?

Kevin!

Hey!

What do you think?

That they're just lining up to buy our falling-down meatworks

that needs half a million dollars in upgrades?

- Well, I don't know. Maybe. - Well, they're not, Rachel. OK?

- Rachel. - That was it!

Listen. We've been waiting for the right time to tell you this.

We're moving to Bali.

Now?

What?!

It's way cheaper to live there and we'll be closer to my father.

And before you go nuts...

..OK, we're not taking Ivy.

Oh, what? So you thought you'd just dump her on me and piss off?

We're not dumping her on anyone!

Oh, shit. And... and look.

- Just... - Ivy.

The sale's not going through,

which means Bali is out.

What?!

You promised we'd go, Kevin. No matter what.

No matter what?

We've got no money!

Course I want you to live with me.

Um...

..you know that.

Are you listening?

OK, give me that.

Leave me alone.

You hated living in the city last time.

That was the only thing I was thinking of and it came out wrong.

But I'm willing to give it another try.

If you are.

I want to stay in Savage River.

Um...

..would you move back here for me?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Someone else can do the eulogy.

It's just hard.

I couldn't speak at your sister's funeral.

I just wanted to be in the grave with her.

But I wish I just...

..had have told the world how much I loved her.

At least Miki's behind bars now.

Mmm.

You can do it.

Nothing much useful in there.

I did tell you.

I know Miki argued with Hugh on the day,

but it's...

..it's just not as strong as I'd like, for a motive.

Maybe Hugh went after HER.

I mean, he wasn't in the best of health, but still,

he was a big bloke.

Could be self-defence.

What, and then...

..Miki keeps quiet about it

'cause she figured no-one would believe her?

Dare say she'd be right about that.

Well, that would mean Lynne was lying about that alibi.

Oh, you... you wouldn't blame her, I suppose.

Who'd let their child go to jail if you could help it?

Oh, hey.

Um... Jasmine Lang's autopsy report.

There's a page missing.

Yeah, page two, with the conclusion.

Really?

Yeah.

That's odd.

I'll dig it up.

Great. Thanks.

Well, for starters, interfering with evidence in a murder investigation

is enough all by itself to get you sent back to prison, so...

You don't need to say anything, OK?

Just let me do the talking.

Miki had no way of knowing it was the murder weapon in her locker.

And until Forensics confirms it, neither do you.

So we're talking about a knife found in a meatworks. That's all.

Uh, a knife with a cracked handle and a broken tip.

Now, I'd say the chances of...

She could have just as easily thrown it in the river.

Then you never would have found it.

Why didn't you?

Because it could be evidence.

I am trying to help you find Hugh's killer.

Much appreciated, but I... I think we'll manage on our own.

This anonymous text that tipped you off...

- Yeah. - ..any theory on who that was?

I thought it was Adam trying to set me up.

- But if it is the real knife... - Miki. Please.

The text was sent from the public phone booth in the centre of town.

So whoever sent the text is the one framing her

and most likely the murderer.

That's one possibility. Yeah.

Or someone saw Miki put the knife in her locker

and did the right thing.

Even if that knife is the murder weapon,

and even if you find Miki's DNA on it,

it's all circumstantial.

You don't have a witness. You don't have a motive.

And, as I understand it, my client has an alibi.

Now, even an estate lawyer from a country town can see

you do not have enough to charge her with anything.

Forensics on the knife will take a while.

Even with the rush job.

I say we hold her on parole violations until then.

Yeah, but if she killed Hugh Lang,

why pull a stupid stunt like last night?

Who knows what goes on in her head?

She's got half the town baying for her blood.

Yeah.

From what I hear, the other half is randy blokes wanting a go.

Get anything from the phone booth?

- Bugger-all. - Mmm.

A mishmash of partial prints.

Most of them would belong to local druggies.

Yeah, but they didn't CALL the station. They texted YOUR mobile.

Everyone around here has my number. It's easy.

Still, phone booth's on the main street, just outside the op shop.

Maybe someone saw something.

- Alright. - Mm-hm.

- I'll ask around. - Or CCTV?

You really think they don't have enough to charge me?

Well...

..looks that way to me.

Why are you helping me?

The truth?

I didn't much want to.

Your mum asked me.

She's been through the wringer these last few years.

I know.

So if there's anything that you want to tell me that might help...

They're not looking in the right place.

What do you mean?

He wasn't killed at the river.

Then where was he killed?

At the meatworks.

And how do you know that?

I, um... I heard.

Miki.

This is serious.

You have to tell them.

How do you know where Hugh Lang was killed?

I didn't do it, OK?

That...

..that's all I'm gonna say.

This is the knife.

Take a good look at it. Pass it around.

Pay particular attention to the crack in the handle.

If you know who it belongs to, I want to hear about it.

I mean, it's a knife, yeah.

But in case you haven't noticed,

there's more knives than dicks in this place.

Your dick's the biggest, Dale.

Bigger than yours anyway, sperm head.

How much longer is this gonna take?

So none of you recognise it?

No-one?

Joel?

No.

Looks like every other knife to me.

Right. Is that it?

- Yeah, that's it. - OK.

Back at it. All of ya.

Except for you.

Stand up.

Stand up!

You're fired.

What for?

What for?

Take a look at what's left of my car.

Yeah.

It's because of this little shit that the sale is off.

Yeah?

That means no expansion, no upgrade, no nothing.

Because of you!

Oh, good one.

Real bloody mature!

Back to work!

I'm gonna need all your CCTV, particularly any angles

that might show who put that knife in Miki's locker.

Mmm.

There's no point.

What do you mean?

The government says, "Put cameras in your building."

So I put cameras in my building. But no-one comes to check.

It's just a box-ticking exercise to...

..appease the bleeding hearts.

So, what... what, the CCTV doesn't work?

Nope.

- Oh! - Never even hooked 'em up.

- And do people know this? - Well, I haven't been hiding it.

No.

Do you have a log of people coming and going at least?

- Sure. - Great. Thank you.

All employees have to log in and log out for the time sheets.

What about people who aren't employees?

Who would want to come here if they didn't have to?

Can you get me the night before the town fireworks, please?

What's that got to do with anything?

Can you just... can you just print it?

Please?

OK.

I want Ivy to come and live with me, whether you and Chandra go or stay.

What's brought this on?

She's on the pill, Kev.

Did you know that?

On top of everything else. Do you know who she hangs out with?

- Do you know who she sees? - Yes, more than you do.

Because I'm actually here, Rachel. OK?

Great. Great.

Thank you.

Did you lock up at the end of the day?

- The night before the fireworks? - Talking... yeah.

We're talking about the night before the fireworks. What time?

I don't know.

I was, um...

..I was doing some paperwork, so I...

Do you want to give me a ballpark?

I don't know, mate. 9:30, maybe?

- Great. - Mmm.

- Thanks. - Oh, you're welcome.

- Yeah, it's been a real joy. - Yeah, good.

You know where the door is.

You want to tell me where you were this morning,

around the time Kevin's car was blowing up?

It's criminal damage, you know, reckless endangerment.

Kevin's full of shit.

Yeah? How's that?

He had a fight with Hugh Lang

a couple of days before he turned up dead.

What about?

The refugees. How he treats them.

You said you were at the pub Wednesday night,

night before the town fireworks.

Sounds about right.

Was that after you locked Miki in the chiller or...?

So, what?

Stay at the pub till closing, then?

Came back here for a bit, check if Miki had gotten out alright.

- Had she? - Didn't go in.

Oh, really? Why not?

Kevin's car was still here and I did not need the grief.

What time was this?

After midnight. Closer to one.

Knock, knock!

- Sorry, we're closed. - Oh, it's police business, I'm afraid.

I need to take a look at your security camera footage.

It's in the back here somewhere.

Oh, thanks. I can sort myself out from here.

Chandra, I'm... I'm...

..look, I'm really sorry about telling Miki about the sale.

It... it... it just slipped out, and...

It doesn't even matter.

They would have found out eventually.

I'm just so tired of waiting to be happy.

What do you mean?

- Kevin's at the meatworks. - Yeah, I know.

So?

Um...

..you said you were home with him last Wednesday night.

Mm-hm.

You sure about that?

Well, I assume he was.

Assume?

Well, um...

..I fell asleep in Wayan's bed

halfway through the Three Bears,

and by the time I woke up, it was almost dawn.

Kevin was here then, was he?

Yeah. Fast asleep and snoring.

Right.

OK. Thanks.

How's your steak, Dad?

Adequate.

Everyone's saying the meatworks sale's off.

Nick was an idiot.

The buyers pulled out. And now Kevin's ropeable.

Yeah, right.

Will he shut down

or keep limping along?

What are you thinking?

Can you get Kevin to the pub this afternoon?

- Uh, I've got to... - It's important.

I think I have a way to make this work for everyone.

After knock-off?

I'll be waiting.

Chk!

Oh, yeah. That's... Really?

That's very funny.

Well, the forensics report has come back on the knife.

The tip matches the piece found in Hugh Lang's body,

so it's definitely the murder weapon.

But no prints.

No DNA at all.

Was cleaned pretty thoroughly

with something called a nucleic acid degrading reagent.

Commercial name, DNA Buster.

Catchy, isn't it?

Never heard of it.

No. Well, it's online order only.

So if I go looking, will I find it on Terry's credit card?

Well. We'll see.

Can I go now?

Technically, you did, in fact, tamper with evidence, but, um...

..it's a line call and...

Come on. I'll give you a lift.

- Shit. - When did this happen?

Like this when I got home.

See anybody hanging around or...

No.

You get any more trouble, you give me a call. OK?

Cheers.

I'll give you a hand cleaning that off.

Miki.

It's not safe for Ocean,

having you here.

Yeah.

You guys have been through enough.

No. Sorry. We've got regular bleach.

It's what the meatworks uses.

Oxygen bleach, it's a bit more pricey.

There's not much call for DNA Buster round here.

Mmm. OK.

- Thanks. - Yep.

Here for work.

Not yet.

Still got 15 minutes till your shift starts.

Can I have a word?

Hey.

So...

..do you have a boyfriend?

Tim or Kaji?

Oh, my God. No way.

But you're on the pill.

I can't believe you.

You went through my drawers. Mum! You have to give me privacy.

Are you having sex? Are you having sex?

- Well, you did at my age. - Yeah. That's different.

I was an idiot.

Who?

Oh, my God, Mum. No-one. No-one.

It's for my period pain, alright?

I knew you'd go mental, so I didn't tell you.

Did you get the... prescription here or...

No, I went to the, um, Family Planning in Bendigo.

Didn't want Chandra finding out and getting all worried.

- Can I start work now? - Yeah.

? You know I'm calling out ?

? Shadows in the nights unfound ?

? Feeling isn't right ?

? I waited... ?

? On the edge of town ?

- ? Even though I feel your touch... ? - Miki.

? I cannot see the ground... ?

Have you thought about talking to the police about the meatworks?

? Somewhere in the distant space... ?

You're my lawyer, yeah?

? I know that you're around... ?

- What I told you was in confidence. - ? If it's alright... ?

I know you can't tell anyone without my permission.

- OK. - ? I'll look around... ?

Have it your way.

? If it's alright with you... ?

If it was me, I would have got the hell out of town by now.

Yeah, well.

You're smarter than I am.

Honey, we know that.

If any of these dickheads try to mess with you,

I'll sort 'em out, OK?

? If it's alright ?

? With you ?

? I'll stay... ?

What's all this about, then?

? If someone could see you walking ?

? Could see you from below ?

? There's always another mouth to feed ?

? Another hand to hold ?

? If it's alright ?

? With me ?

? I'll look around... ?

Hey.

I thought you were... in.

Free woman.

For now.

Do you know what all this is about?

Uh...

..um...

..I... I have to get out of here.

OK. Well... my car's out front.

Come on.

? If it's alright ?

? With you ?

? I'll stay... ?

Go on, Deb!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Thank you, everyone, for coming.

As you know, I've lived my whole life in Savage River.

- Whoo! - Whoo!

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

My father was a slaughterman.

My brother, well, he never made it past the first week.

But I know how hard you all work.

- Yeah. - Mmm.

Now, if you elect me mayor of Savage River,

I will make sure that when you put in a hard day's work at the meatworks

that you're working for yourselves.

I will make sure

that the money the meatworks makes goes into your pockets.

- Oh, yeah, right. - How you gonna do that?

Kevin wants to sell the meatworks. I say we buy it.

The town and the meatworkers, in partnership.

- O... OK. - Co-owners.

- OK. What are you doing? - This solves everything, doesn't it?

Come on. Just tell them you're up for it.

Deb, the buyers were putting in 4 million.

You think these fucking clowns have more than 50 bucks between them?

Maybe if you paid them better!

- Wa-hey! - Piss off, Kev!

OK. I think... I think Deb's had too much to drink.

- No, no, I want to hear it. No, no. - Come on. No, no, no, let's hear it.

I want to know how it works.

OK, so...

..towns have done it before.

There are government grants.

OK?

Now, if I'm mayor, I'll ensure that the council puts money in,

and I can help with the bank loans.

And guess what.

We all become part owners.

We split the costs AND the profits.

And no-one will be able to sell your job out

from under you again.

- This is bullshit! - I'm in!

Who wants to lend me some cash?

Thank you, Dale.

Youse really gonna listen to her?

She's actin' like she gives a shit about us, like she's on our side.

Meanwhile, she's been helping me dad's murderer get out of jail.

- Oh, come on. - She's lying.

Adam.

Don't listen to a word she says. It's a con.

They sent me a letter.

They've offered me permanent residency.

Oh.

So that's it.

You're moving to Canada?

I can sponsor my wife and her sister.

What choice do I have?

No choice, obviously.

A roll in the hay with me once or twice a month

versus wedded bliss in Canada?

- It's no contest. - Lynne.

No, I knew you were married when we started. That's the point.

We both knew where we stood.

To be honest, it's a relief.

The uncertainty of not knowing how long you can stay.

Well, now we know.

Now we know.

When are you gonna go?

Next week.

Better get a move on, then.

Oh, shit.

Sorry.

I... I had no idea.

Well, they are half right.

Maybe I am the monster everyone thinks I am.

I don't think you are.

Ever since you came back...

..I...

..I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

Am I completely off the mark here?

Wait. Wait.

I can't wait.

No. No.

No. Um...

I'm... I'm sorry.

I... I thought you wanted to.

No, I thought I did too. Um...

I just... Fuck.

I've wanted this for so long.

I just... I...

..I don't know if it's what I want... right now.

That's understandable.

Jasmine's dead because of me, and...

..I never told anyone the truth.

You confessed.

I never told anyone what our fight was about.

Who it was about.

I protected you.

What are you talking about?

She told me that day at the river

that you guys were sleeping together.

What?!

All the girls at school had a crush on you.

I'm sure that they still do.

Miki, you have to believe me. I never touched her.

She said it was an older guy, someone that I'd be jealous of.

I always thought it was you.

For God's sake! Of course it wasn't me!

Is that what you've thought all this time?

Well, if it wasn't you, then who...?

Hey, Miki.

Um...

..want to play a game?

Mmm?

Who's got the biggest secret?

I'm not a virgin anymore.

He's a real man, not a stupid boy.

He says we should keep it a secret.

Come on. I'm your best friend. Just tell me.

I want to tell the world about us.

I know you have a crush on him too.

Tell me.

No, I can't.

Hey!

I hate you!

Hey!

You OK?

Mmm.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Forget it.

Timbo! Come downstairs, mate.

Yep.

Oh, good. You're here.

- Oh. Hey, guys. - Hey.

Uh...

..I didn't invite them.

I know.

We did.

Uh... it's not my birthday.

- Sit, everyone. Sit! - Come on.

Come on! That's it.

Quick sticks. Sit!

Here we are.

Thanks.

What's happening, guys? Making me nervous.

What's that?

Uh... what's this?

Open it.

What? What is it?

Hm.

Is this real?

If you agree,

would you like to make this official?

- Oh, my God. Wow. Wow! - Yeah.

- Look. - You're getting adopted?

Well, it's a long process.

But the sooner we start,

the sooner your birth certificate will say...

..Timothy Kirby.

Just can't believe it.

Can't believe it.

Yes.

This is amazing.

Oh, my God.

So are you and Simon a thing?

I don't know.

I'm not good at this.

Sorry.

It's OK.

I mean, I won't wait around forever.

You know, I was gonna rescue you from the lock-up

if they didn't let you out.

Oh, yeah?

What was your big plan?

I guess I would have told them about Salim.

Salim?

It was Salim's knife that you were holding up.

The one the police are saying the killer used.

Handle's cracked. I was gonna fix it for him.

Shit.

Wait. Do you think...?

I don't know.

But he has to be lying about it for a reason, right?

Wow.

Did you put the knife in my locker?

No. No.

Until last night, I thought it was lost.

So why didn't you tell the police?

We have six months left on our SHEV.

It's a work visa thing.

Safe Haven Enterprise.

We have to continue to be working.

If we stop or we get in trouble or get fired,

they take us back to Iraq.

Why would Kevin fire you for losing a knife?

_

No police.

OK.

No police.

Kevin, he pays us less than the others.

So...

..I have been taking meat and selling it in other towns.

- What? - Only what he owes us.

And Nick's helping you?

That little shit.

Uh, if... if Kevin finds out...

Yeah, I'm not gonna tell him.

Kevin, please be careful of him.

_

_

So...

..I go at night, always late.

And that night,

I see Kevin there.

He was putting something inside Hugh's car.

Something big.

Jesus.

And the next day...

..Hugh was gone.

But you didn't see what it was?

Uh, it was dark and I thought, uh,

maybe it was a side of meat or...

Mmm... but now... mmm...

..maybe not, I don't know.

- We have to tell the police. - No!

- They think Miki did it. - He set me up. I can't do anything.

No. You agreed.

Salim, please. They think that I did it.

You agreed.

Laila, Jamila,

if we get deported back, we are finished.

I will not risk it.

Kevin is Rachel's ex-husband.

He's Bill's son's best friend.

If you go accusing him, it's lose-lose.

What, so that's it?

He just...

..he just gets away with it?

Kevin practically runs this town, Miki.

You're taking a lot on.

How old's Kevin?

Oh, mid-40s. Why?

I think I just realised who 'K' is.

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

It's a warm night. You'll be alright out here tonight.

I'll find somewhere else in the morning.

And tomorrow,

we'll get you a proper bed.

Is that...

..um...

Do you want to stay here or not?

- I won't say anything. - Hm.

Now, use this mosquito net properly.

Make sure it's wrapped all the way around, OK?

'Cause the mosquitoes are bad tonight.

- Miki? - Yep. Yep.

Mm-hm, mmm.

Mmm!

Sorry.

Late breakfast.

I, uh...

..I have something to tell you.

Have the results come in?

Mm-hm.

For you.

I ordered an almond milk, like a wanker.

And can you confirm what time his car left the meatworks?

Sure about that?

OK.

Um...

..can you send those details over, please, as soon as possible?

Thank you.

What?

I sent Kevin's car to Forensics.

Thinks it's about the fireworks.

Well, why did you do that?

Um, Salim is in the interview room.

If you can get his statement, that'll, um...

..that'll explain everything.

Sure. Hey!

Kevin.

Kevin killed Hugh.

So...

Wayan, let's come with me.

Let's go inside.

Is everything OK?

Have you arrested Nick yet?

I need you to come with me and make a statement.

What for?

What, with the car?

No.

About the murder of Hugh Lang.

- What's going on? - Ivy, let's go inside.

I'll arrest you, Kevin. I'll turn that meatworks into a crime scene.

What the hell, Mum?

It's OK, Ivy.

You close down those meatworks and there will be trouble.

You can't threaten me.

- Get off my property. - No.

- Get off my property! - Dad!

- Ivy! Kevin, don't! - Get the fuck off!

Stop!

Oh!

Kevin Pattison, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Hugh Lang.

You show this to a jury,

she's cactus, no matter what.

You lied to my face about where Miki was the night Hugh Lang went missing.

Miki, wait.

Just be careful.

Ah!

Are you willing to give a DNA sample

and fingerprints for comparison?

If I say no?

Innocent people usually say yes.

Are you and Miki in this together?
