Narrator:
Acorn TV isn't just good.

Drum roll, please.

[Drum roll]

It's brilliant.

I was thinking the same.

Our romances are more charming.

I still got it.

Our mysteries cozier.

Time to do a little snooping.

Our noirs more gripping.

This has spoiled
my tranquility.

And our comedies cleverer.

More clever?
Oh, you get it.

Morning, boys.
Hey, Trudy.

Same to you, Mrs. Baker.
Great turnout.

In my heart,
I always knew that

Brokenwood was bigger
than a small town.

Well, big as
a dinosaur, even.

[Chuckling] Yeah.
Although some of them

were actually quite small,
like Polacanthus,

no bigger than a turkey --

Regardless, it is indeed
the beginning of a new era.

Even Trudy is on board
with it all, eh, sis?

Don't worry.
She's excited.

How can you tell?

Good morning,
Maggie.

How would you be
on this auspicious occasion?

Oh. I'm good.
Good, thank you, Doug.

Got a little something
for you.

Oh.

Oh, it's you.

Wondering
what the smell was.

Is that your idea
of banter?

I'll banter you if you
don't watch it.

Oh, come on, you two.

You're a fool.

Good morning, everyone.

Great to see so many of you here
on this special day.

Lucky for us,
the weather gods have smiled

and last night's storm
has moved on. [Chuckles]

I'm taking that as a good omen.

As mayor,
I am incredibly excited

to formally announce
that Brokenwood is poised

to become the dinosaur capital
of New Zealand.

And all because
of one remarkable woman,

homegrown paleontologist
extraordinaire,

our very own Maggie Sturridge.

Yeah.

[Applause]

After years of toiling

in the foothills
of the Brokenwood Ranges,

Maggie has found
the unmistakable outline

of a bone from --
and I have it written down --

Titanosaurid.

Yes. Thank you, Todd.
What he said.

One of the big ones, anyway.
[Growls]

[Applause]Um, yes.

Now, Maggie's find will be
officially authenticated today

Raptors were these

That also wounded

Did they?But I won't tell my clients

that when I bring them by

Do we know
where the stream originates?

[Clears throat]

Yes, Doug?

That's
the Waterford Stream.

Source is up there
in the hills.

No one's exactly
sure where.

It flows down through the bush
over a heap of farmland.

There's really
any number of places

where a bloke could end up
in that stream.

Best guess?

Well, it's not for me to guess.
That's your job, isn't it?

Good morning.
This is interesting.

Yeah, a ice pick
to the noggin.

It's very reminiscent
of the death of Comrade Trotsky.

This is not an ice pick.
This is a rock hammer.

No, it's all much
of a muchness

when it's buried
in your forehead.

They are not
the same thing at all.

Well, it's...Not the same thing.

This is an ice pick.
Quite different.

Very effective
for deep penetration.

Gina, you carry around
an ice pick with you

because...

In my line of work,
I must always be prepared.

We need some kind of idea

how long the victim's been
in the water.

It's too early to say,
but I will run some tests.

And, of course,
you'll be the first to know.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, but I can tell you

that he's a man
of class and good breeding.

Look at his nails.
Beautifully manicured.

Okay, we'll keep
that in mind.

Actually, when was the last time
you had your nails done, eh?

[Sighs]
That's it.

We don't even have a location
for an actual crime scene.

Oh! Damn it!

What?

Well, Gina was right
about the murder weapon.

It is a rock hammer.Hmm.

Similar implements
are used in mountaineering,

but the ones used
in fossil hunting

are smaller and more refined.
Like that one.

So we know
that much at least.

Hey, what do we know
about this Maggie Sturridge's

fossil research?

Well, apart from the fact
that dinosaur fever

has taken over the town,
not that much.

We don't even know the location
of her excavation,

which seems to be
an industrial secret.

[Cell phone rings]

Gina.

Mike, there is something

I would like
to demonstrate for you.

I'll be right there.

Let's start with this
Maggie Sturridge.

Head over to the Dinosaur
and Panther and see

if she showed up
at the festivities.

Why does Kristin
never listen?

There is nothing like
the weapon that killed him.

I know about ice, Mike.
And I know what kills people.

Such as...

rock hammers.

Very effective.

It had penetrated three
centimeters inside the cranium.

So death would have
been instant.

Not necessarily.
Why not?

If, after
the initial blow,

he had been brought
to a hospital,

there might have been
a different outcome.

But look.

Here. See the contusions
and grazes on the face?

They suggest
that he fell forward,

probably forcing the rock hammer
further into his skull.

I say this is
very unlucky for him.

Mike, what sort of dinosaur
do you identify with?

Uh, not something I've given
much thought to, really.

I think a T. rex.

Dominant. Strong.

Thanks, Gina.

I want to talk to you

Okay.

You'll remember
that I remarked

that the victim's fingernails
were well-maintained.

They were also long enough

to retain a certain amount
of sediment.

From the river.

No, sediment from the river
would have washed away.

This was
noticeably coarser.

So, I ran some tests.

It was sedimentary rock.

This would not have come
from the river.

And it found its place
under his nails

around the time he died.

Because if it had been there
for any length of time,

it would have
irritated him.

Yes, he would have tried
to get rid of it.

And it most likely came
from the rock

that contained the fossil?Sedimentary rock, Mike, yes.

Any update on
time of death?

This is more complicated.

Unusual pH levels in his tissue
have made it more difficult.

I will know more soon.

You know, I always aim
to pleasure you, Mike.

You know that.

The sedimentary rock suggest
that after

Wainwright sent the e-mail,
he went back up to the site.

Hence,
his car was there.

Mm. But why?

From what I can tell,
Howard Wainwright

was a controversial figure
in the world of paleontology,

respected in some quarters,
but criticized in others.

"Howard Wainwright is one of
the most formidable thinkers

of modern paleontology,"

or, "the majority of the work
on his résumé

was originated by other people,"
so it's hardly exemplary.

Although his e-mail
clearly states

that Maggie was responsible
for the find.

Maybe he'd changed
his ways.

Or not, if he did try
to steal the fossil.

How many people,

How did it get there?I don't know.

Is that it?

Not quite.

You'll be charged with
assaulting Maggie Sturridge

in her home this morning.

Let's go.

♪♪

♪♪

We agreed we were going
to explore more things

that we could do together,
be adventurous.

Yes, we did.
But riding that

evil machine was not going
to be one of them.

Sorry to interrupt.
By any chance, is Rowena here?

You'll find her inside.Thanks.

Perhaps we should ask her
how much fun

our little adventure
was, hmm?

What do you mean?

We went out
for a pleasant bike ride,

and unfortunately,
we got caught in the storm.

Rowena witnessed us
being drowned rats

trying to pretend we were
having a fun evening out.

Where was this?

In an effort to get
out of the rain,

we cut through the grounds
of the shallows.

It wasn't my fault we ran over
that broken bottle.

Lucas, please.
You were steering.

Oh.I'm sorry, we didn't
see you there.

Are you all right?
Yes. Fine.

Terrible night to be out
and about.

Bless you, Reverend.

And what time was this?

Uh, we'd got to
Walker's Ridge by 6:00.

Drenched.

And then, it took nearly
an hour to walk back again.

Uh, right. Thank you.

I'll leave you to it.

Perhaps you should
steer next time.

♪♪

Yes?

My apologies for
disturbing you.

Mind if I have a word?

Certainly.
How can I help?

Can I ask what you were
praying for?

I was asking the Lord

to guide and protect
Howard Wainwright's soul.

Hmm. It's interesting.
That could suggest that you

and he had a relationship
of some kind.

The Lord asks that we care about
all our fellow human beings.

Particularly those you went
to university with.

You told me you went
to a university in Indiana.

But that wasn't true,
was it?

I did.

For a semester.
And then I moved.

To the same university
Howard taught at in Kentucky.

He taught there.
I knew of him.

I didn't really know him.

Can I ask, when you approached
him about coming out here,

what did you think
would happen?

Howard is a research fellow
in the world of paleontology,

a science based on the idea

that dinosaurs died out
65 million years ago.

What would lead him to declare
that Maggie's fossil

was only 10,000 years old?

In my heart, I knew
that he would see the truth.

And if he didn't?

How did you react when
he verified Maggie's discovery?

Did things get heated?

I never saw him
after he'd been to the site.

How did you find out then?Mum told us.

Oh, hey.

Well, what did he say?

It's good news.
Well, it's great news.

It is a titanosaurid.
Cretaceous.

[Chuckling] Oh, wow.
Awesome, Maggie.

Well, I'm going to get changed,
and then I'm --

I'm going to go out
for a celebratory drink.

And then what happened?

She went to
The Dinosaur and Panther.

We stayed home.

So you're saying
you never left the house?

Mm. Well, problem is
I have witnesses who saw you

outside Howard's chalet
sometime after 8:00 PM.

♪♪

So what were you
doing there, Rowena?

I don't feel comfortable
talking about that

in the house of the Lord.

Suits me.

♪♪

♪♪

Oh, Christ, you people.

I won't hold you up,
but have you seen Maggie at all?

Nope.
Huh.

Well, she's not down
at the site or at home.

I thought
maybe she was --

Well, I guess you
thought wrong.

Frida, you said something
earlier down at the station.

You said Maggie must have
got home somehow

on the night of the storm.
What did you mean by that?

Well, she wasn't at the site
when I came looking for her,

but down at the road,
her car was still there.

Maggie's car
was still there

when you shot out the tire
from the rental?

Yes. It was.

I know you don't wear a watch,
but it would be helpful

if you could give me some idea
about what time this was.

It's started to rain about
the same time as got dark,

so maybe half an hour
after that.

Mm.

Where is Mike?

He's -- He's not here.Where is he?

He's out investigating
a homicide.

That is disappointing.

Well, it's kind of
what he does, so...

I have established an accurate
time of death for the victim.

Gina.
Now you're talking.

Yes, I am, I know that.
The victim was in the water

for approximately 12
to 15 hours.

Right. So that means --

I'm still talking.

However, rigor mortis suggests
that he died between 4:00 PM

and 8:00 PM the evening
he went into the water.

Okay, well, thanks, Gina.
We'll pass it on to Mike.

While I worked,
it occurred to me

what kind of dinosaur you two
would have been.

You, Kristin, obviously would
have been something smaller.

Something snappy.
Like a raptor.

I can see that.

And, you,
something bigger.

Yes.

And very slow moving.

A diplodocus.

Mm! Hmm.

Thank you for these very
penetrating insights, Gina.

Thank you.You are always welcome.

You know, the diplodocus
had the tiniest brain

of all the dinosaurs.

If she's right about
the time of death...

...there's no way
that Howard Wainwright

could have sent
that e-mail at 8:53.

Because, at that point,
he was already dead.

♪♪

That is awful.

Well, we're trying
a new brand of beans,

so sorry it's not
to your taste.

Tastes like
the devil's urine.

Okay,
I'm not going to ask

where you became acquainted
with the devil's urine.

Oh, is sarcasm appropriate
in this situation?

Your whereabouts from 5:00
till 9:00 PM on the night

that Howard Wainwright
was killed.

I told you
I was at church.

Yes, between 4:00 and 6:00.

But it all gets a bit vague
after that.

So what happened after
Maggie went to the pub?

Did you and Jake go up to her
dig site and steal a fossil?

No.

I mean, Howard wasn't
really playing ball, was he?

He'd cited the fossil
and declared to Maggie

that it was Cretaceous,
but he was supposed to declare

that it was only
10,000 years old

to reinforce
your creationist doctrine.

I thought he'd see it
for what it really was.

Howard wrote in his diary
that he was humoring you

to ensure that you
invited him out here

and collect his fee,

and to become the coauthor
of any dinosaur find.

So you went up there
to steal it,

to remove any evidence
of the fossil's actual age.

But I'm guessing that Howard
got there before you.

No, no, I never.

And then, in an attempt
to cover your tracks,

you went to Howard's
chalet using his --

I did not go up there.

♪♪

As the Lord is my witness,
none of that happened.

Then what were you doing
at his chalet?

Yes, I went
to Howard's room.

But only to talk to him,
to reason with him.

But he wasn't there.

That's all, I swear.

♪♪

Maggie Sturridge
left the dig site later

than she said.

Does the word "erinaceous"
mean anything to you?

Not off the top
of my head, no.

Have a look.

Huh.

Print that out for me.Mm-hmm.

Of course I
was pleased for her.

All I wanted
was for us both to be right.

Is that too much to ask?

Does it really matter
how old it is?

[Knock on door]

Excuse me.

The geoscience team

have come back
with their initial analysis.

What? That --

That's saying that the fossil
is potentially

as young as
10,000 years old.

How could Wainwright
get that so wrong?

Well, maybe he didn't.

And why would Rowena
have a problem with that?

She wouldn't,
but someone else might.

Maggie hasn't done anything.

We'd like her
to tell us that.

If and when I see her,
I'll let her know.

Now, please have the decency

Maggie:
It's all right, Ron.

Ron, why don't you
come along, too?

-You're free to go.
-Ah.

I'll hang around and wait

So, at the time
in question,

Ron was where
he said he was?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Ready?

You got this.

It's like you thought,
except the other way round.

What -- What's this about,
Detective?

The postmortem results tell
us that Howard Wainwright died

sometime between 4:00
and 8:00 PM

on the night of the storm
at your fossil site.

We also have witness testimony
that puts your car still parked

at the roadside longer
than you initially mentioned.

Given it was dark
and raining

and, well, Frida
doesn't wear a watch,

she's mistaken.

But it means that you were
in the vicinity.

Actually, I, um --
I spent the evening with Ron.

I'm sure he'll remember.

I kept quiet about it
because my --

my daughter is so damn pious
about that kind of thing.

Ask him.
I have.

Yes, you were with Ron,
briefly.

You went and had a drink and
then made an excuse to leave.

Take this back
to my place.

I've got some
very old jazz records.

Another time.
My -- My head's a whir with --

with the news.
Of course.

Congratulations, Maggie.Good night, Ron.

Good night.

Kristin: So, yep,
you made an appearance.

Early night, Ronald.

But for no longer
than 30 minutes.

We also know that Rowena
went to visit the professor

at his chalet
sometime after 8:00 PM

but had no luck
because he wasn't there.

So that means that you must have
arrived not long after that.

How about we go home
and put the fire on?

Oh, yes, let's.

There's some of that cauliflower
soup left in the fridge.

We can heat that up.Yeah.

♪♪

We've also seen the e-mail
sent from Howard's

laptop that night.

It states that the fossil
was a titanosauroidae,

a species of dinosaur

that went extinct approximately
65 million years ago.

Yes, yes.
That's right.

Mm. Although Rowena wouldn't
send an e-mail confirming

such a rejection
of her creationist beliefs

and, well, Howard
couldn't have sent it.

Not least of all
because he was already dead,

but also because
it quite simply wasn't.

It was an insectivore.
