(PHONE RINGS)

Kingston.

Yes, Sarge.

Where?

Yeah, about 15 minutes away.

Alright.

(SIREN WAILS)
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)

Ronnie.

Do you wanna tells us
how this qualifies as a homicide?

I'll be out in a sec
to enlighten you.

A martini would be nice. it's early -
I could do with a heart-starter.

Allie.
Sergeant.

Looks like a gig for Traffic to me.
That's what I thought.

Two dead, yeah?
Yeah.

Man inside the car,
young woman underneath it.

Witnesses say it came
down the hill out of control,

mowed her down as she was jogging.

Wrong place, wrong time.

Earphones in, she didn't even
hear it coming. No chance.

I'd concur with that.

Don't make us guess.
Why are we here?

You're here because
the driver of the car is dead

and he was dead before it crashed.

Heart attack at the wheel,
it's not unusual.

High stress, road rage, work issues.

Remind me not to car pool with you.

However, I have taken his body temp

and noted his lividity
and the lack of blood from his injuries,

and that's why I've called you in.

He was dead hours before
the car came down the hill

but the collision team say
the engine was running.

So how did he get into the car
and start it if he was dead?

(SIREN WAILS)
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)

Hello.

We need reinforcements?

NICK: Sarge called us out.

Why? Duncan and I are across it.
Must have changed his mind.

Sarge?
Morning, guys.

We're gonna need a death knock.

Nick, do you wanna do it
with Jennifer?

Did you get the driver's ID?
Lachlan Fraser.

If Duncan and I are the leads on
this case, I wanna talk to the wife,

see how she responds.

Well, Duncan's already
talking with witnesses

and I want detectives across all aspects
of this, not just uniforms.

Sarge, this doesn't make sense.
I'm done here.

It is better
if we speak to the wife.

Alright, OK, Nick and Jennifer,
you can help with the street canvass -

see if anyone saw anything earlier.

Street canvass?
Yes. Just do it, OK?

I'll get Levitt
started on backgrounds.

Sarge?

What about the jogger that was
run over? There's no ID on her.

Someone needs to track down
her next of kin.

Fine. One of you get on to that.
I want coverage.

And follow up with Pathology.

(SHAKY BREATHING)

My husband.

Lachlan Fraser.

What happened?

At this stage, we're still
completing the preliminaries.

Can I have a moment alone with him?

I'm sorry, alone isn't possible,

but we can give you
a little privacy.

Any way we can
speed things up, Ronnie?

I already did the CT.
Found a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

In English, that is...?
A stroke.

He also presents with major lividity

in his back
and the backs of his legs,

which suggests he was lying on his back
for some time after he died.

Before he was put in the car?
Yep.

On his back? Maybe he was doing
the business, girl on top?

What's that film? 'A Beautiful Mind'?
You don't qualify.

Have we got anything more
on the time of death?

Around 10 o'clock last night,
give or take.

So someone waited till morning,

put him in the car
and then started the engine.

Why would they do that
if he died of natural causes?

Like I said, girl on top.

Or maybe because the source of
the haemorrhage was in his neck.

It's called an acute basilar
subarachnoid haemorrhage.

'Sub' and 'haemorrhage' from
the Latin, 'arachnoid' from the Greek.

Anyway, I found a bone spur in
his superior C1 vertebra, just here.

And?

If the victim's head
was over-rotated

with an abrupt or severe movement...

That can cause a stroke?

In an extreme cases,
resulting in death.

That's what happened to your guy.

Something I said?

Abrupt severe rotation.
Yeah, thanks, Lara Croft.

No joke.
Lachlan Fraser was murdered.

His neck?

We believe someone else was involved.

They then tried to disguise
his death as a car accident.

Mrs Fraser, we need to
ask you some questions.

Mrs Fraser?

Danielle, did your husband
have any enemies?

No. No.

And the marriage?
Solid. Really solid.

Lachlan is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

How long have you been together?
Uh, four years.

Where did you meet him?
(LAUGHS) At the gym.

He was always there. He...he
noticed me, he asked me out.

That's a bold move.
That was Lachlan. Seize the day.

Things I'd dither over for months,
he'd do in a heartbeat.

Buying a car,
starting a new business.

He was impulsive?

He just believed life is short...

..so make the most of it.

And what about his business?

What did he do?
Properties, investments.

He has a business partner,
Toby Rowcastle.

Any problems there?

Toby can tell you more.
Yeah, we'll speak to him.

Was your husband meeting
with Toby last night?

No. I called Toby
when Lachlan didn't come home.

He said he hadn't seen him
since training on Tuesday.

They train together? What for?
Karate.

Toby's an expert.
Well, they both are.

That's their business dream,
to start their own dojo.

A dojo?
Yeah.

What's a dojo?

A karate school, that's right.

And you're an expert?

It's a life-long learning process.
I'm a black belt.

Qualified as a sensei,
but I work as an assistant teacher.

What style?
Shotokan-ryu.

Really? I study Gosoku-ryu.

(LAUGHS) Yeah?
Yeah.

What level?
Ni dan.

Ah. Takes commitment, doesn't it?
Yeah.

I'm a Go dan.

You train every day?
5am.

Ooh, impressive.

What about Lachlan Fraser?
He's a black belt too.

It's just such a shock
to hear that he's dead.

He wasn't much older than me.

We have reason to believe that

Lachlan fought with someone
shortly before his death,

and the injury he sustained to his neck
probably caused the stroke.

So where were you last night, Toby?

Toby, where were you?

(STAMMERS) Er, I was at home.

I worked on some ideas for
the business, then I went to bed.

Anyone confirm that?
No. I was alone.

Don't leave town, please,
Mr Rowcastle.

We may need to
speak to you again, OK?

Of course.

Toby.
I know.

I'm so sorry.
(SOBS LOUDLY)

Sex, it's the oldest motive
in the world.

You think Toby Rowcastle is having
an affair with Fraser's wife.

And then the wife
and business partner

conspire to cover up Fraser's death.

Hang on, five minutes ago
you were all for

Fraser having the affair
and dying during sex.

It's still possible.

I think the business
is a stronger lead.

The partnership was initiated by Toby -
his expertise and his money.

What did Lachlan bring to it?

He was doing the negotiating,
organising the company.

He sourced the property
out in Thornbury.

There's already
another dojo out there.

So Lachlan and Toby could've been

unwanted competition
for the other dojo.

Yeah, it's worth thinking about.

Hey, I got some possible motives
from the background.

Er...

Allie asked me to run a search

on Lachlan Fraser's
past business companies.

Sweet. What'd you find?

Well, Lachlan's business acumen
was questionable.

He was declared bankrupt in '96

and his previous business associates
weren't exactly complimentary.

I mean, they reckon this guy
couldn't lie straight in bed.

Sir?
Carry on, Sergeant.

OK. So, um...mode of death.

Severe rotation of the head,
causing a stroke and death.

It's not exactly karate,

but a martial arts practitioner
could do it.

She's a go dan or something.
Ni dan. it's a level of proficiency.

Alright. Let's take a good look
at this rival dojos angle.

And the business partner too.
He claims to be a sensei.

What's that?
it's a qualified teacher.

But he's very young.

If Toby Rowcastle's a Sensei,
he must be amazing.

Yeah, not at business, though.
The deal was stalling.

Rowcastle had already paid
a hefty deposit on the property.

Yeah. Any update from
Nick and Jennifer's canvass?

Yeah, a witness saw Lachlan's car

parked a couple of blocks away from
the crash site late last night.

They'll need to shift their canvass.
Yeah, they're across it, Sarge.

What about the jogger, Jane Doe?
Any word on her ID?

Which one of you
followed up on that?

Rhys?
Er, first I've heard of it.

Must've been Jennifer.

Sarge, she's got her hands full
with the canvass.

I'll do it.

So what's next, Sergeant? Hmm?

Mapplethorpe and Buchanan
are on the street.

Levitt's learning
how to make his first million

and all you've got is a possible affair
and the dead guy who knew karate.

All of which points towards...
Toby Rowcastle.

Bring him in.

We just let him go.
Well, bring him in again.

You think I twisted Lachlan's neck?

You'd know how.
You're strong enough.

Lachlan's my friend.
We're in business together.

Why would I kill him?

Because your business deal
was about to go belly up.

You got in a fight, it went too far.
That's ridiculous.

We'll see.

We've already got people
going over your financial situation,

so don't you try and snow us.

OK.

You never met him,
so maybe this is hard to understand,

but Lachlan was a business genius.

Mm-hm?

Really?
Yeah, really.

When a gap in the market appears,
you have to strike quickly.

To do that, you have to be daring.

“Seize the day”, “life's too short”.

Sounds like a walking
self-help seminar to me.

You have to change your mindset.
That's what Lachlan taught me.

So you didn't know that
he'd been declared bankrupt?

No, I didn't.

You didn't check with any
of his past business partners?

I hope you didn't give him
too much money, Toby.

I mean, what were you getting
out of this partnership?

The only thing I can think of
is you were banging his wife.

That is beyond offensive.

I don't know what sort of people
you're used to dealing with,

but that is not me.

Maybe I've been a bit naive.

I'm not a businessperson.
That's why I hooked up with Lachlan.

And how did you meet him?
At training. My old dojo.

I was the assistant teacher there.

And that dojo's in Thornbury?
Yep.

Where you were trying to establish
your own outfit.

Ooh, jeez, I bet your old guru

wouldn't have been
too pleased about that.

You'll have to ask my sensei,
Kenji Yamamoto, himself.

Lachlan said he had words with Kenji
but I don't believe it.

It just doesn't sound like Kenji.
Oh, come on.

What, you're about to steal his patch,
poach his students, hey?

Of course he's gonna be pissed off!

Lachlan gets in his face,
a bit of argy-bargy.

Kenji loses his cool.
No. It didn't happen.

I know Lachlan said that
Kenji had a real go at him

but I don't believe it,
it's just not Kenji.

He's a ku dan. A master.

Karate is his life.

A master?

So what you're saying is he could
snap Lachlan's neck like a twig.

MAN: One!

Two!
(STUDENTS YELL)

Three!

How can I help you, detectives?

Our apologies
for interrupting, sensei.

Do you know a Lachlan Fraser?
I do. Why?

He attended this dojo?
He did.

'Attended' is a good word.

Unfortunately,
he never learned to belong.

Why's that?

He repeatedly broke
the rules of the dojo.

I don't believe
Mr Fraser sought perfection,

or was faithful either
to himself or to the art.

Disrespect to others?
Violent behaviour?

Violent behaviour
is disrespect for others.

He hurt several fellow students,
so I asked him to leave.

Sounds like you had good reason
to dislike the bloke.

And then your assistant,
Toby Rowcastle,

decided to open another
dojo with him, huh?

He did, yes.

It was disappointing, but Toby's
on a path. He has a lot still to learn.

Were you angry with Lachlan?
Anger is not productive.

And yet you chucked him
out of your club.

Lachlan Fraser injured
two of my students.

Dislocated one boy's shoulder.
The kid was out for two months.

Carla, these are
detectives Freeman, Kingston.

Carla Shanklin.

I run self-defence classes here.

Lachlan came to them once a week,
too, until he was asked to leave.

In my experience, he's a sleazy
show-off, a danger and a bully.

Well, not anymore.
(ALL YELL)

If you ask me,
Lachlan never should have

been allowed in the dojo
in the first place.

And he was the last person
who should have been running one.

Toby didn't think so.
Toby should've known better.

Lachlan charmed him.
He needed Toby, that's all.

For his money?
For his qualifications.

Toby's an odd mix. He's bright,
really sharp, but incredibly naive.

And he was desperate
to have his own dojo.

Yeah, well, Lachlan jumped on that.
Found just the venue for him.

Your sensei doesn't seem too agitated
about Toby's defection.

Yeah, cool, isn't it? All that calm.
I'm working at becoming as evolved.

Mmm. It was a different story
with Lachlan, though.

We heard that he and Kenji
had an altercation.

I don't believe you.
You sound pretty sure about that.

It wouldn't happen. I know Kenji
really well. He's very advanced.

Come on, he wasn't
just a little bit peeved

that Lachlan was starting up
in competition?

I'm not gonna say it
just because you want me to.

So Lachlan Fraser was a creep
and he injured one of your students?

Did that make you angry, Carla?
Yes.

But I didn't go looking
to teach him a lesson.

I may not be as evolved as Kenji
but I'm no thug, either.

Any luck at the dojo?
Couple of leads.

A female trainer. Carla Shanklin.
She reminds me of someone.

Yeah, very funny.
We're nothing alike.

Martial arts freaks,
up at the crack of dawn,

no sense of humour,
violent tendencies.

Take note of the last one, Duncan.
(LAUGHS)

Crack of dawn, eh?
(LAUGHS)

Yeah, before, actually - 4:30, 5:00.

When did you become
so dedicated to fitness?

I used to run a bit.
A bit?

Yeah, in races.

What, against other people?
Der!

Is this everything that
they recovered from the jogger?

Yes. yes. Her pockets were empty.
No house or car keys.

No-one's called in to claim her?
No, not as yet.

And none of the crash witnesses
recognise her either.

Oh, look, you'd been busy.
Thought I'd get the ball rolling.

Oh, thank you.

AJ. Alison Jones? Ashleigh Jackson?

Abigail, Annaliese?
That's a bit posh.

What's Allie short for?
Allegra.

That's a bit posh.

MATT:: Updates.
What are we looking at?

Oh, if it doesn't interfere with your
tea break, Duncan. (LAUGHS)

Toby Rowcastle has the skill
and a good motive -

Lachlan had well and truly
dropped him in it.

Kenji Yamamoto, now, he has
good reason to be pissed off,

and apparently he's got
a temper too.

To me, he comes across
as the real goods.

He's a ku dan, a ninth.
He's almost a master.

So he could
snap Fraser's neck easily.

You don't get that far
and go around attacking people.

Now, Carla Shanklin, well,
she's not as 'evolved', is she?

Now, she's worth a look.

This might be worth a look too.

Our victim had
a whole bunch of medical bills

to a clinic
on one of his credit cards.

I saw it when I was
going through his finances.

There we go - Albert Park Therapies.

It specialises in physio
and chiropractics.

Look, mate, I don't know
who you've been talking to

but I have never injured a client.

We're considering a possible
over-rotation of the head.

The person in question was killed
by a trauma to his neck.

Well, maybe he was, but not here.

We always do pre-adjustment tests

designed to pick up
any potential problems.

Chiropractors don't perform major
rotations of the head as a release -

it's too bloody dangerous.

Kellie?
Yes?

Bring the appointments book
through, love.

So, who is this patient, anyway?
His name's Lachlan Fraser.

Lachlan Fraser? He's dead?
Night before last.

Mr Deane just called
to cancel his 1Oam.

(LAUGHS) What a surprise.

So where were you between
9:00 and midnight, Michael?

I was here, working late.

Patients?
No, I was doing my accounts.

And before you ask, I was on my own.

OK, so you'd like to cancel
your booking for Friday the 16th.

Would you like to reschedule that?

OK. Thanks, Maryanne.

You get many cancellations?

Oh, Michael's just cross because
Mr Deane does it all the time.

You know, people don't think.

Michael could've booked in
someone else for that time.

That was Mr Fraser's
last appointment.

Two months ago.

He pulled out of care
quite suddenly.

Does it happen a lot?

People don't realise
it's a commitment.

You need to keep coming
to see improvement.

And you've got employees to pay
and overheads to cover.

I'm not going broke
if that's what you're implying.

Did your boss ever get cross
with Lachlan Fraser?

He won't know it came from you.

Michael's lovely, really.

Um, but some clients,
they think they know better

and they don't follow through
on his advice.

Lachlan thought he knew better?
(PHONE RINGS)

Maybe. I really don't know.

Alright. Thanks, Rhys.
We're on our way.

Allie.

Thanks, Kellie.

That was Rhys.

He's found out that Lachlan and Toby

were doing more than just
competing with Yamamoto.

They were poaching
his staff as well.

(SIREN WAILS)

RHYS: Why would Lachlan Fraser's files

contain a letter of offer
for you to come and teach with him?

Just because Lachlan offered me a job
doesn't mean I accepted.

It's not signed, is it?

Were you going to to sign it?
it's good money for an assistant.

Yeah, it's more than
I'm earning now.

Yeah, I was tempted.

But it's not about what you can earn,
it's what you can learn.

And anyway I didn't trust Lachlan.

You said no?
I did.

How did he react to that?

The way he often reacted -
he got angry.

And you got angry back.
No.

I took a leaf out of Kenji's book,
walked away.

He wasn't worth my energy.

It's like Kenji always reminds us -

karate is about self-discipline,
not picking fights.

Did your boss know about this offer?
I didn't tell him.

If he found out about it, it would have
been a big disappointment, huh?

It's a massive loss of face.

Maybe Kenji had to
take it out on someone else.

That's Lachlan's style, not Kenji's.

You like to comparing people
to Lachlan, huh?

You say you don't want anything
to do with him,

and yet you're completely
fixated on him.

(LAUGHS)
What happened? Did he turn you down?

Oh, please.

You develop a crush on him,
he rejects you,

and the puppy love turns to hate.

I bet you don't have
many female friends.

Am I hitting a nerve?
You couldn't be more wrong.

Lachlan Fraser was a total sleaze.

He'd hang back after class, wander
around in his jocks and hit on me.

It pissed me off then
and it still pisses me off.

That's it. End of story.

Lachlan wasn't a sleaze.
According to Carla Shanklin, he was.

The self-defence teacher?

(SIGHS) Those karate women
all seem a bit desperate to me.

I don't get why women
do those kind of sports.

Well, what about fitness, discipline,
reliance? Whole heap of reasons.

He wouldn't go for her,
or for any of them. I know it.

Well, why not? He met you in a gym.

If your husband was having affairs,
it gives you motive to kill him.

Me?

Kill Lachlan?

Didn't you wonder
where he went after class?

The chiropractor. He had to go
and have his regular back treatment.

No. We checked, Danielle.

Your husband hadn't been going there
for two months.

Well, that doesn't make
any sense at all.

Unless...

He wasn't having an affair.

If there was any flirting
or anything happening there,

she would've been the instigator,
not Lachlan.

They're all suspects.

The wife could be putting it on

to cover her relationship
with Rowcastle.

And Toby Rowcastle's got motive
over the business situation too.

I find it very hard to believe

that he trusted Lachlan
with his money so easily.

Frankly, guys, you had this yesterday.
What else have you got?

We've expanded
our background searches

to include Kenji Yamamoto
and Carla Shanklin.

Carla Shanklin needs another look
but I don't think Kenji is lying.

They could both be lying.

Don't let your own hobbies
get in the way of your thinking.

Keep Nick and Jennifer informed.

They need to know which faces to add to
the canvass as soon as possible.

Do I still look at
the chiropractic angle?

Which part of “they're all suspects”
didn't you follow? (LAUGHS)

Come on, guys, we need
to crank this up a bit.

Well, what do you want us to do?

They've all got motive
and no-one's got an alibi.

You're being unreasonable.

Any one of them could've killed Fraser
and put him in that car.

I want you to do your job, Duncan.

Sarge?

Yeah?

I was out of line back there.
Yeah.

This case, it's like
grabbing at smoke.

There's nothing's solid.

Go back to the victim.

The better you know him,
the more chance of a breakthrough.

Matt, you're a good detective.

But not a good sergeant.
Is that what you're saying?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, look at you
all cosy with your coffee

while we go out
and pound the streets.

Yeah, nice for some people.
Hey, I didn't send you out there.

Matt's working us pretty hard too.
I can see that.

Uniforms really don't need

Nick and I covering
the door knocks as well.

I wouldn't have thought so.
No.

There's plenty of them. I think
I might go have a chat with Matt.

Mmm.
What?

I don't think it's a good idea.

I just saw him down in the car park.
He's in a mood.

What happened?
We had a few words last night.

He had a go at us about the case,
and I bit back.

Bet that went down a treat.

I tried to patch things up
but I think I made things worse.

How worse?

Let's just say he'll be pretty dirty
for a while.

Well, it's not easy coming back
as sergeant to your old squad.

He's in a difficult position.
Mmm, so are we.

I mean, Matt used to be
one of us, you know?

And now it's like
we can't do anything right.

Hey, Nick?

I reckon he's the sergeant.
Chain of command.

Chain of command is always right.

You ready?
Mmm.

Amy Jeffries.

Hmm?

AJ, the anonymous jogger.
Her name's Amy Jeffries.

Ah.

Don't you wanna know how I did it?
Well, clearly, you've cheated.

There was a logo
on her tracksuit jacket.

Ah, yeah. No, PCSC.
I was thinking computers, IT.

Point Cook Swim Club.

I took her photo down there
this morning. She's a member.

What, all before 8am?
That's...impressive.

Still haven't found
her next of kin, though.

Boyfriend's not answering his phone,
there's no-one at her home address.

I left my card with the neighbours.

What about her work, her family?

Well, not everyone
lives with their aunty.

And not everyone can be
state champion, two years running,

and I do mean running.

Have you been looking me up?
No.

No!

Yes.
it's none of your business.

Hey, you should be proud of this.
I would be.

And I'd appreciate you
keeping your nose out of my life.

Drop it, Rhys.

Come on, Allie, let's go.
Back to the dojo.

What for?
The Sarge says crank it up.

Alright, I'm all for that.
Who are we gonna shake?

Well, the wife reckons that
Fraser wouldn't be unfaithful,

so I say that we rattle Carla Shanklin
and we'll see what falls out.

Great.

(Yells)

I'm sorry, Sensei.

Carla Shanklin, we'd like
another word with you, please.

What about?

Your relationship
with Lachlan Fraser.

I'll leave you to it.
No, you don't have to go.

I already told my sensei
about the job offer,

and my decision not to take it.

It's not about the job offer.
it's about your personal relationship.

(SCOFFS) We didn't have
a personal relationship.

He told his wife he went to
the chiro's after class.

He didn't go there
on the night he died.

He hadn't been going there
for months.

So? He was a liar too.
Yeah.

And he was using that lie as a cover
to spend time with you, wasn't he?

No, he didn't.

Were you lying to us about not
welcoming his attentions? No!

Were you sleeping with him?
You bitch.

(BOTH YELL)

(YELLS LOUDLY)

Carla Shanklin, you're under arrest.
No, Duncan, it's fine.

It's fine.

Carla.

You will honour your opponent.

And in answer to your question,
no, l wasn't with him.

I was here training until 1am.
Which I can confirm.

You know what?
I believe Kenji. I believe Carla.

Why? Because she put you
on your bum?

Didn't take Duncan long
to stick that one on the grapevine.

Nothing we can find
on the chiro either.

No cash transactions,
no buried accounts.

I've gotta go. Gonna knock on a few
doors around Amy Jeffries's house.

I mean, what was she, 22?

What about her parents?

God, my mum would launch
a full-scale search

if I didn't call her
at least once a week.

Well, good for you.

But just because they're her family

doesn't mean they give a stuff
about what happened to her, OK?

Allie.
No, Rhys, I've gotta go.

Look, I'm sorry. I don't know...
No, I know what you're doing.

Alright? And you've got no right,
so you can just stop it, OK?

Stop what you're doing.
What am I doing?

No, you've done your research now.
You know I was a state running champ.

And now you're gonna use your
big fancy Oxford brain to analyse me.

And I don't need you to tell me
why I chucked it away, OK?

I don't need you to tell me who I am.
Fine.

I wasn't gonna do that.
Sure.

OK.

Alright, I'm curious.

Yeah, and I may have
formed some theories

about middle distance running,
thwarted dreams,

never quite making the big time,
all very 'Chariots of Fire', OK.

You're an idiot.
Yeah, I am.

Yeah.

Alright.

My mother got more out of it
than I did.

So I dropped out, I went overseas,
and I joined the police force,

which was another
major disappointment to her.

And I haven't spoken to her
in years.

OK. Well, that's pretty big.
Yeah!

And I tried - I tried to contact her
a few months ago,

and her phone's disconnected,
so I don't even know where she is.

We're the police. That's what
our police computers are for.

I can't legally access the records of
my own family, you know that.

Ah, Allie, get your skates on.
You've got another interview.

Look, I'll go ask around
Amy Jeffries's neighbours, OK?

I'll take care of it.

Allie? Duncan's down there already.

Yeah, who is it?
Kenji Yamamoto.

He came in voluntarily.
Says he's got something to confess.

You saw the rules
on the wall of the dojo.

These are rules
I also follow in my life.

Strength of character
comes from honesty and faithfulness.

Society has rules, too, Mr Yamamoto.

Sometimes, no matter how much
people want to obey them, they fail.

I've told you the truth.

You always tell the truth?
I do try to do that, yes.

But it's not always easy.
That's why I've come here today.

To confess to the killing
of Lachlan Fraser?

No.

Did you confront Lachlan about
the dojo, get into a fight?

No.

A split-second move and it would have
been lights out for Lachlan.

You've got the skill.
So does your colleague.

But skill and anger
are not good companions.

Wherever your anger may be directed.

So why are you here?

I did have an altercation
with Lachlan Fraser.

You fought with him.
He challenged me. I didn't refuse.

When was this?
On the night he died.

Lachlan came to the dojo
and confronted me between classes.

He was angry that Carla
wouldn't agree to work for him.

And he blamed you?

He said there was only one reason
he could think

why she would stay working for me.

What was it?
He said I must be sleeping with her.

And are you?

That's no more your business
than it was his.

But is that why you fought him
and you twisted his neck?

That's why I agreed to fight him.

He said he'd come back for me
after my last class.

I confess I was angry.

I was a bad example
for my student that night.

I waited well past 1am
for him to show.

He never did.

Guess that lets him
off the hook, huh?

So Yamamoto, he wastes our time,
he gives us nothing useful,

but it's that's OK because at least
he's cleared his conscience?

I'm just saying I think we can
drop him from the list of suspects.

That was huge for Kenji to admit

that he let Lachlan goad him into
a fight, even if it didn't eventuate.

You know what I reckon?
What?

He did fight Fraser,
was going to confess

but he lost his nerve
when it came to the crunch.

And then he spun
all that noble rubbish

because he knew that
you would fall for it.

No. No way.
Yes.

He stays on the board, Allie.

Tomorrow's canvass.

Matt.

You're joking. Three more?

Yeah, I think it's worth
adding them to the canvass.

What, is there a new lead?
Nothing concrete.

That's why we need to put them
out there. You might get a hit.

Matt, if this is just
a fishing expedition,

surely uniforms can be doing this.

I'm sorry, Jen, I can't give you
any more resources.

OK, let's wait till tomorrow
and see what Duncan and Allie...

Sorry, Jen...
Mate.

Jen's just saying that
if we have to start all over again,

run all these past
anyone who opens a door

we'll be out there till Christmas.

Any one of these people
could've killed Lachlan,

so any one of them
could've dumped him in his car.

And any one of them
could've been seen. We know.

The sooner you start,
the sooner you finish.

Jen!

Jen.
(SIGHS)

Jen.

What's up?
What was that about?

What?

If I'm having a difference of opinion
with my sergeant,

I don't need you
to come in to bat for me.

Hang on, hang on,
I was agreeing with you.

Yeah, well, don't!
I can stand on my own two feet, Nick.

Yeah. I know you can.

I'm sorry, it's just all the secrecy,
and springing apart all the time,

and Matt nearly catching us
the other night, it's...

I still feel like
we're living undercover.

Mmm. it's not easy, is it?

No, it's not easy.

And I don't know how to fix it.

See you tomorrow.

Early bird. I think
he's trying to impress us.

Look, er, yeah, thanks.
No, you've been a huge help.

OK, goodbye.

Guys, think I might
have something for you.

What is it?

I've been following up on

some of the members of
Carla Shanklin's self-defence class,

see if they'd confirm her stories
of Lachlan's wandering hands.

Any luck?
Yeah. Carla was telling the truth.

Lachlan used to have this schtick
he would try on after class.

He'd complain of chronic
shoulder stiffness

and try and get girls
to massage him.

Like that'd work.
(LAUGHS)

A couple of them suggested he go
and get a professional to treat it.

He said he was already
seeing a chiro.

Said she was fantastic.
She?

I just need to find this other
patient list. What's this about?

We need to talk to
your receptionist, Kellie.

We need to talk to her urgently.
Why? She's not in today.

Did she say why
she wasn't coming in?

No. She just didn't turn up.
I've been ringing and ringing.

Have you got her address?
We need it.

This is gonna take all week.
Yeah, I know.

Nick... Um, last night,
I'm sorry I left like that.

(PHONE RINGS)

Duncan.

Yes, mate?

Jen!

Yeah, we're onto it.

The chiropractor's receptionist
didn't show up for work today.

And?
Lives a couple of blocks away.

(SIREN WAILS)

('Ll'l'l'LE RED HANDS'
BY CALLING ALL CARS)

Kellie Briggs?

Detectives Mapplethorpe
and Buchanan.

We'd like you to come with us, please.

(SIREN WAILS)

Hey!

Kellie Briggs, you're coming with us.

Stealing?

That's all, I swear.

The massage table's mine
but I stole the rest of the gear -

the massage oils, the towels
and stuff- I took them from work.

And your boss found out?
No.

But I thought he might
after you guys came round.

After we came round?
How are they doing?

She's lying to them,
but she's not very good at it.

Looking good for the murder?
For something, yeah.

Our visit to your boss
was in relation to a murder.

Is that what spooked you, Kellie?
No.

Yeah, it is.

Because you were involved
in that killing, weren't you?

No, I wasn't.
Kellie.

We're gonna talk to all the patients

that have dropped off
your boss's books.

Are they gonna tell us that

they've been getting cheaper treatment
elsewhere?

From someone unqualified?

Kellie, I mean,
if this was an accident, you know,

you need to tell us
what happened right now.

You're gonna find it
in my car, anyway.

Find what?
My appointment book.

I wrote down names and times
and, um...and the money.

I needed the money.

What happened?

(SOBS) Um...l usually just do
standard releases, you know?

I've seen Michael do it
often enough.

But Mr Fraser said that...

..said that his neck
was really sore.

And?

He, um...

He grabbed my bum
and I just lost it.

(CRACK)

(VOICE ECHOES) Mr Fraser?

Mr Fraser?

And then...and then I panicked.

I didn't know what to do.

What about calling an ambulance?
He was dead.

It was too late
for an ambulance.

How long was he on the table
before you moved him to his car?

Hours.

I had to work out what to do, so...

I know it was wrong but, um...

..but I thought, if I made it
look like a car accident...

So you took his keys,
then you went to find his car.

Yeah.

Finally. He'd parked
a couple of streets away.

Then?
He was so heavy.

You don't realise how heavy
someone is when they're...

So that took me all night.

I got him out,
I put him in the car and, um...

..I drove to the hill.

(WHIMPERS) I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

(ENGINE STARTS)

I put the car in neutral
and sent it down the hill.

I just panicked, you know?

A panic that lasted seven hours

and involved the carefully planned
concealment of a crime.

And the death
of a 22-year-old woman.

What?

She was killed by the car
at the bottom of the hill.

Half the job's paperwork.

You did OK turning up
the connection.

Hey, Jen wanted me to let you know

that Amy Jeffries's boyfriend
has come in.

She's broken the news to him
and taken him down to the morgue.

Nice of him to bother.
How did you find him?

I didn't. He's a schoolteacher.
He's been away on a Year 7 camp.

He came back today.
He got your messages.

Jen said he's pretty devastated.

Doesn't know how he's gonna
break it to her parents.

Makes you think.
Yeah.

Well, you can't spend your whole life
thinking you're gonna die any second.

You'd never do anything.
Yeah, that's true.

But you can make sure
you've mended all your fences.

Shift's over. We could go now.

Might work out better
than you expect.

Right, well, that's her place,
number seven.

You OK?

You just gonna sit here
until she comes out?

(EXHALES)

Nup.

Do you want me to come with you?
I'll go talk to her.

Hey, you're gonna wait for me?

No, I was gonna drive off
as soon as you turn your back.

Yes?

I'm looking for Barbara Kingston.

I'm sorry, she's not here right now.

She won't be long. She's just
taken the girls to the park.

The girls?

Would you like to wait?
No, l...l can't.

Perhaps is there a message
that I could give her?

No, no message.
Well, who shall I say called?

That was quick.
it's the wrong house.

Got the wrong house.

OK, so the police computers lie.
I should complain to Bernie about it.

Just forget it, OK?
(STARTS ENGINE)

Yeah, OK.
