(TRUCK HORN BLARES)

That's good. Thanks.

We'll talk to you again.

TODD: I've just got a few more
questions for you.

Where's Pathology?
Yeah, they're on their way.

Pullman's Towing.
That rings a bell.

Not for me.

What's happening with Crime Scene?

Yeah, they found
a partial footprint.

Smooth leather sole.
That's good.

Leather's absorbent,
not so easy to clean.

Excuse me. You can't go in there.

Detective Senior Sergeant
Susan Blake, ESD.

Don't you remember a face?
I'm sorry, Senior Sergeant.

Supposed to be part of the training,
isn't it?

Detectives.

Crime Scene are still working
over there, Senior Sergeant.

Better make sure we observe
the protocols, then, haven't we?

What's the ESD's attack dog
doing here?

Sticking her nose in it.
And her claws.

Pullman. The tandem killers case.
Simon was on that.

The owner's dead.

A Mr Harvey Pullman.

What happened to your face?

Walked into a hoist.
Clumsy. Not paying attention.

Me? Assault him?
Mattie, do I look that stupid?

MA'l'l': Did you assault him, Simon?
Mattie, do I look that stupid?

ESD.
Yeah, Blake and her offsider.

Has this got anything
to do with Simon?

JARVIS: You can bet it has.

Not long ago, Detective Joyner
had cause to interview the deceased.

The deceased subsequently
accused Joyner of assaulting him.

That's not gonna stick.

Now Pullman's dead, do you mean?
You might be right.

But if Pullman's been murdered,

you can bet your bottom dollar

Simon Joyner's going to be
the prime suspect.

May I ask what your interest is
in this case, Senior Sergeant?

No, you may not, Detective.

We're not obliged to divulge details
of any of our investigations.

You are to me.
This is a Homicide inquiry, not ESD.

Superintendent, I think
you'll find our cases intersect.

A blow to the back of the head,

a chain used to crush the windpipe,
by the looks.

By the looks?

Any prints?
No, it's been wiped clean.

But enough similarities
with the assault...

Alleged assault.

..the alleged assault by
Detective Joyner on Mr Pullman,

wouldn't you say?

Too early to make judgments.

We'll be with Detective Joyner,
when you want him.

(DOOR BUZZES)

Simon, I got your message.

What kind of trouble?

Sarge, when did you get back?

Couple of days ago.
What's, uh...what's going on?

Sarge, listen, l...
I shouldn't have called you.

Well, you did and now I'm here.
You said you needed my help.

Sarge, l...l wasn't
thinking straight when I called, OK?

I can't talk to you about this.
l...l can't put you in that position.

Why, Simon?
What the hell has happened?

Detective Joyner. Got a visitor.

Detective Senior Sergeant
Stanley Wolfe.

According to our files,
you're on sabbatical.

I have been. And you are...?
Detective Senior Sergeant Blake.

This is Detective Lincoln, ESD.

We've come to collect Joyner
for interview

in relation to a murder.

A murder?

And to secure these premises pending
the issue of a search warrant.

Unless things have changed
since I've been away,

Homicide investigate murder.

We're in the middle of
an ESD investigation.

Let's not split hairs.

He has the right to refuse.
No hairsplitting involved.

Sarge, it's OK. I'll go.
Your call, Simon.

But you can expect me to be
across this, Senior Sergeant.

If this is a murder investigation,
it stays with us.

BLAKE: Sir, you can threaten me
with the union, you can cry foul,

but none of it makes any difference.

I'm conducting this investigation
for the Ethical Standards Department.

With respect, Senior Sergeant,

ESD are not equipped to handle
a homicide investigation

and you know it.

With respect, don't push me sideways
to protect one of your own.

Are you suggesting we'd do that?

Of course. Why not?
Joyner's one of the boys.

Simon Joyner is
a fine police officer.

Simon Joyner assaults witnesses.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there, you two.
That's enough.

Jesus, you're a regular pit bull,
aren't you, Blake?

I'm not the one arguing the toss.

No. You're the one
pursuing an agenda.

My job is to clean out
corrupt officers.

I have every right to investigate
this matter, and you can't stop me.

No.
No.

So we'll work with you instead.

We'll set up a joint task force -
ESD and Homicide.

Senior Sergeant Wolfe will lead.
Sir...

Senior Sergeant Wolfe has years
of experience investigating murders.

He'll lead. OK, Stanley?

Sir.

Superintendent Waverley,

they'll work to you,
you'll keep me informed.

I want this thoroughly investigated
and off the books ASAP.

Thoroughly investigated
by Joyner's mates.

The composition of the team
is my business.

Unless, Senior Sergeant,

you're questioning my ability
to adequately supervise their work.

Of course not, ma'am.
Good.

You're Stanley's
new right-hand man.

You won't be needing your sidekick.

You can send Lurch back
to the mansion.

You'll accept our kind offer,
I expect.

Of course, sir.

So long as we're talking

active participation
in the task force, not observation.

Absolutely.

Well, Senior Sergeant, uh...
downstairs in 10 minutes?

I'll start the questioning
if you're happy with that,

seeing as I'm probably
better prepared.

Hmm, fine.

Bernice, get your people moving.

Anything interesting comes up
from Joyner's interview,

Stanley will feed it to you.

I do not believe
Simon Joyner is a killer.

I agree.

And you keep that bitch on
the straight and narrow, you hear me?

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Stanley.

Beats missionary work, eh?

I was helping build a hospital,
Terry,

for people who were in
desperate need of one.

I've gotta say, not much beats that.

Senior Sergeant. Where's your mate?

Oh, he's been replaced.

Detective Joyner, you are required
for interview.

Harvey Pullman had made some
very damaging allegations against you,

allegations that could well have
put an end to your career.

And?
And that's why you killed him.

What purpose would be served
by my killing Mr Pullman?

You already have a recording
of Mr Pullman's allegations.

I didn't do it.

I thought ESD'd be out of this
by now.

It's a murder inquiry.
You thought wrong.

Superintendent Waverley
needs you upstairs.

She's setting up a joint task force.
What, with Blake in it?

You can't protect Joyner.
Vamoose, the three of you.

BLAKE: Harvey Pullman
was attacked in exactly the same way

as when you recently forced him
to attend an interview.

You think I'm dumb enough to repeat
an alleged method of attack?

Desperate people make mistakes.
I'm not desperate.

Joyner, tell the truth.

It'll be a relief- for you and us.

You killed him, didn't you?
No.

I did not kill Harvey Pullman
and I have no idea who did.

Where were you last night?

I was at home by myself.

STANLEY: All night?
Yes, Sarge.

Welcome back, Stanley.

And what were you doing there?

Nothing. I was...worrying mainly,
about her.

In other words, no alibi?

What would you say if I told you

that you were seen leaving
your apartment late last night?

She's bluffing.

I would ask why you
haven't already charged me.

Detective, we have motive.

An alleged motive.

We have means
and we have opportunity.

Anybody has the means to beat
and strangle someone to death.

How do you know
that's how he was killed?

Because you told me, Senior Sergeant.

Harvey Pullman was killed
using the same means

that he'd alleged that I'd used
to intimidate him earlier.

Score 1, the suspect.

You know, if it was me
investigating this murder,

I'd be trying to find out
who else Pullman told

about this supposed attack,

because, obviously, someone has
duplicated it when they killed him.

Someone has deliberately tried
to put me in the frame.

And while I am sitting here
answering these questions,

that person is still out there.

JARVIS: She doesn't want to leave
without getting her man.

Big chance for a promotion.

What's your take on Simon?

I have a mind like a steel trap -
closed. He didn't do it.

Alright, Detective Joyner.

Let's start again.

You keep an eye on this?

I'd better get the troops moving

or there's a real possibility
this attack dog's gonna get her man.

Mmm.

NICK: OK, preliminary autopsy report

puts Pullman's death at sometime
between 11:00 last night

and 1:00 this morning.

His wife said he worked all day,
then stayed at the pub till 10:00.

Is she coming in?

She'll talk to us after
she's done the ID.

Started going over
Pullman's company records

over the last couple of years.

Any dodgy accounts?
Threatening letters?

It's just a small business

run by a guy with crap spelling
and illegible handwriting.

What about the family?
Allie's onto it now.

There was a first wife.
She now lives in Darwin.

Anything else?

I've been looking at
phone records, sir.

We didn't find a mobile with his
body, but we did find his phone bill.

I've checked with his phone company.

Anything of note?

There was a text message sent from
his mobile last night.

What's the number?
It might be useful.

Simon Joyner.

Check it, double-check it
and double-check it again.

Time is running against us,
boys and girls.

Detective Buchanan?
Senior?

You've got a very cranky visitor,
a Mrs Dorothy Denzel.

She said you'd know what it's about.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Timing!

OK, Phillipa, I'll deal with it.

An old case.
Sorry, guys. I won't be long.

Dorothy Denzel -
do you know the case?

Yeah. Missing child.
Nick worked on it for months.

Unsolved?
Yeah.

Is that the mother?
Nah. That's the suspect.

It's started again.

What has?
The harassment.

She left me alone for a while,

but she's started
coming around again lately.

Isabel Marsdale.

She's gotta move on.

You do know how hard it is for her
to let it go, don't you?

(SIGHS) it's been five years,
Detective Buchanan.

Isabel still blames you.

She's been coming around,
knocking on my door,

she's bailing me up in the street.

She's practically accusing me
of murder.

I don't think I can take much more.
OK.

How did she appear to you?

Seems to have cleaned her act up.

But that isn't the point, Detective.

Look, I feel terrible
about what happened,

but there's nothing
I can do about it.

So, please, can you get her
to leave me alone

so I can get on with my life?

My first unsolved.

Been in Homicide for two years.

Three-year-old boy missing,
believed murdered.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was the neighbour
that was babysitting him.

Left the house for
a bottle of lemonade.

And?

Gone for 10 minutes
while the kid was asleep,

got back, he was taken.

Blood on the bed, window forced open.

And you already looked at her
for it?

She held up under questioning.
Still maintains her story.

The corner shop guy supported it
back then too.

We never found Eddie's body,

so his mum's not had any closure and
keeps on hassling the Denzel woman.

Well, she can't let it go.

I know how she feels.
I hate unsolveds.

(PAGER BEEPS)
Task force meeting.

It's about to start.

Alright, everyone, let's see
where we're at with this.

What have we got so far?

Pullman's history is
pretty chequered, ma'am.

He did time some years back
for assault,

possession with intent to supply,

supposedly been clean since
he came out about 12 years ago.

And the guy that he assaulted
was another towie

and it seems they had
a couple of run-ins.

We're checking that out.

He also has biker associations.
A former member of the Black Snakes.

He claimed to have left them.

Well, check those biker links.
You can never really leave those gangs.

We have a prime suspect already,
ma'am - Detective Simon Joyner.

We'll keep looking at
the bigger picture.

We need to remain objective.

We need to be unblinkered.

What about the phone records?

Well, we're still checking,
but it appears...

..Pullman may have sent a message
that night to Detective Joyner.

It appears he may have
sent a message?

Well, did he or didn't he? What are
you trying to say, Detective?

We're still checking,
Senior Sergeant.

Well, how long does that take?
Our job is to solve a murder.

The best way to do that
is to follow all leads.

We keep closely looking
at Detective Joyner.

I'm sure I can rely on you
to do that, Senior Sergeant.

Ma'am.

At the same time, we pursue
any other possible suspects.

Mapplethorpe, you can liaise
with Crime Scene and Pathology.

Yes, ma'am.

Freeman, get onto these biker angles
and the assaulted towie.

Buchanan, follow up on
that text message.

It's good to see you, Sarge.
Thanks.

Despite the circumstances.
Great to have you back, Sarge.

Thank you, Matt. Where are we at
on the deceased's wife?

She's at the morgue.
We're giving her some time.

Bring her in.
We need to talk to her now.

Harvey was no saint,
but he didn't deserve this.

He was a good provider
for Layla and me.

Did your husband have any enemies?
No.

Not from his bikie days?
Long gone.

Harvey was lovely
once you got to know him.

He was locked up for assault.

So? That was years ago.
He did his time.

What about your daughter?
How did she and Harvey get on?

What's that got to do with anything?

Were there any problems at home?

Look, this is a bloody waste of time.

I know who killed Harvey
and so do you.

MATT: No, we don't.

Yeah, right.

He was giving evidence against
the cop that beat him up.

He told me all about it.

He said the copper wouldn't be happy
and he was right.

It's obvious who killed him.

Sharnie Pullman's
a part-time hairdresser.

Seems she's a good worker
with a regular client base.

Women or men?
Both. I'm working through them now.

Maybe she got too close to a client.
Pullman found out.

They argue. She kills him.

Or the client does.
it's worth checking.

The daughter, Layla,
she's on the dole.

She's doing some course
to become a nail technician.

Has she got a boyfriend?

A bit of a revolving door.
I'm checking. Buchanan.

Come on, guys.

Harvey Pullman's an ex-bikie

who's been convicted of
assaulting a rival towie.

Now, there's got to be something
in all that.

OK, I'll be there.

My cold case is waiting for me -
Isabel Marsdale.

The mother?
Yeah.

Yeah, I do need to talk to her.
Just go, mate.

Alright, I'll be quick. Sorry, guys.

I came as soon as work
told me you'd called.

Isabel...
it's about the case, right?

Have you found Eddie?

No, no. Please don't...

No, no, nothing like that.

Take a seat.

We've had a complaint.

Dorothy?

Look, I'm sorry, OK?

I just wanted to ask her
some questions.

Well, she says you've been
harassing her.

I just couldn't stop going over it
in my mind.

Dorothy leaves the house
for 10 minutes to go to the shop,

someone breaks in
and snatches Eddie away.

YOU said it's a big coincidence.
I know, I know.

But Dorothy is within her rights
to ask you to stop hassling her.

Nobody else knew
she was babysitting.

I didn't give her any notice,

just dropped Eddie off
on my way out.

Isabel, you have to stop
beating yourself up about this.

You have to let it go.
Yeah, well, I wish I could.

It's just...it's hard...
when it's your fault.

You were a teenager. Hey, a solo mum.

No, that's no excuse.

L...l had Eddie to think about.

And instead, I was just out partying
all the time.

Drugs and guys -
all I thought about.

You just don't realise
what you've got until you lose it.

If anything turns up on Eddie,
I will let you know straightaway.

Just promise me you'll stop chasing
Dorothy Denzel around the place, OK?

I just really miss him, you know?

They searched Simon's place
last night.

Find anything?

Haven't got the full inventory yet.
They took his phone.

Anything on the text message
Pullman sent him?

The message wasn't there.
It had been deleted.

That doesn't look good.

Have you turned up
any other suspects?

No.

We may have another motive.
What motive?

I've just been looking at the family
more closely.

Harvey may not be
the reformed character

that his wife
makes him out to be.

In what way?

Mrs Pullman has been in Emergency
three times.

"Household injuries."

So what? I'm a klutz,
and that makes Harvey a wife-beater?

Bruising, suspected fractured
eye socket, two broken ribs.

Three separate occasions.
All accidents. What is this?

He's dead, Mrs Pullman. He's not
gonna get into any trouble now.

What difference does it make?
Just tell them, Mum!

Take it from me,
he was a total bastard.

Are you stupid?
They're digging for a motive here.

Sounds like we might have one.
You haven't got anything.

You're just looking for
a way to cover this up.

How about you, Layla? Did you see any
of these "household accidents"?

No.

But he got what was coming to him.
You little slag. He was good to us.

Go on, keep covering up for him.
Me? I'm glad he's dead.

Maybe I can stop locking
my bedroom door now, hey?

That's all crap.
You're a little liar.

Yeah? it's easy to tell yourself
that, isn't it?

Well, I'm not lying.
He was in there every night.

Want me to tell them
what he used to do to me?

That's enough!

He's not my dad, anyway.
He's my stepdad.

And he was a prick.

So Pullman was interfering with
his stepdaughter - that's motive.

IF Layla really killed
her stepfather,

why would she be so forthcoming
with her resentment?

Standard technique -
get it out there.

So we don't look at it too hard.
Right.

It could also be motive
for the mother.

Maybe she finally believed Layla
and did something about it.

And then she lied through her teeth.

Oh, come on, Detective!
God, you can do better than that.

We need hard evidence
like we found last night.

Do you want me to update the team?

No, thank you, Senior Sergeant.

A pair of Simon's shoes
was found to have blood on them.

BLAKE: They're with Forensics
right now.

What does Simon say about the shoes?

Detective Joyner has been held
overnight for further questioning.

I'm sure the matter of
the shoes will come up.

Senior Sergeant, we need to brief
our superiors.

If you lot can give us
everything that you have...

You caught the babysitting detail.
Yeah.

This is all crap.

Don't worry about it.
Your guys will sort it out.

Todd.
Matt.

Don't you need a cup of coffee?
Some fresh air or something?

Call of nature?

That'd do, yeah.

Mattie, you should get out of here.
Blake'll have your backside.

They're still in the briefing.

I just came to tell you to hang in there.
We know you didn't do this.

Do you?

Well, you didn't, did you?

Blake reckons she has evidence.
Blood on some shoes.

Blood on some old shoes.

Mate, who knows what
I've stepped in over the years?

So she's got nothing, right?

She's got a recorded statement
from Harvey Pullman

about me attacking him with a chain
and pistol-whipping him.

When?
You know when.

Back when we needed him
to cooperate with us.

And did you do that? Assault him?

Jesus, Simon.

Look, Mattie, I've done
a lot of things that...

..that I should probably
be ashamed of, you know?

But at the time, they felt right.

At the time, they felt like
I had no other option, you know?

Sometimes you just
run out of options.

What are you saying?

The Sarge always said that we don't
become the thing that we hunt.

So?

(DOOR OPENS)

What the hell is this?

Get out of here now!

I . . .
Now, Detective.

Very professional team you have,
Senior Sergeant.

We work as a team here
and we will continue to do so.

This is just a glitch in the process.

These detectives have
a long history together.

You also have uniforms
colluding with these detectives.

Joyner's colleagues
are understandably concerned.

I will speak to them again about it.
Thank you, Superintendent.

With respect, ma'am,
it's a bit late.

I have material evidence
tying Detective Joyner

to the scene of
Harvey Pullman's murder.

The shoes.

Which are still subject to
forensic analysis.

I have a witness.

Sorry, I was gonna tell you.

A gentleman called in
with some information.

And he can place Joyner
at the towing company

around the time of death.

Who is this witness?

Dave Trilby.
17 Braidmore Crescent, Essendon.

Mr Trilby, I would like you
to repeat the statement

that you made to me earlier.

And to answer any questions
that I have about it.

OK, sure.

Uh, well, my car broke down
about three days ago.

"ABOUT three days ago"?

Uh, three days ago.

It had to be towed.
Harvey Pullman took it.

Said it was only gonna be
a couple of days

and it had already been three
and I needed my car.

Then I saw Mr Pullman
outside the pub.

Which pub?
The Rose, at the end of his street.

I drink there too.

That's how I knew about
his towing outfit.

That and my rounds.

I do a run in the area.
Supermarket flyers, that sort of stuff.

So you saw Harvey Pullman when?

Last night, about 9:00.
I asked him about the car.

He said he thought it was ready,
to look in on my way home.

He was going there
to meet somebody, he said.

An appointment.

This isn't looking good, Terry.

When I got there,
the lights were on.

And I went in,
and I was going to call out.

But I saw...

Saw what?

There's this young bloke
just crouched over him.

Pressing under his neck
with something.

And he was just...
he was just swearing at him.

And I backed off behind
some machinery and he took off.

He looked scared.

And I went in.

There was...there was just blood...

..and there was this chain...

..and Pullman was dead.

Mr Trilby, I showed you
a series of photographs

of similar-looking young men,
did I not?

Yes.

And you immediately identified
one of them as the man you saw?

Yes.

Is this that photograph?

Yes. That's him.

That's the bloke that
killed Harvey Pullman.

Are you absolutely sure of that?
Yes.

So why didn't you
come forward before?

I was scared.
I didn't want to get involved.

What changed your mind?

I saw all the police, knocking
on doors and...l needed my car.

I knew I was gonna have to front up
at some point, so I came forward.

That's enough of that, I think.

He...he's lying.

Why would he lie?
I don't know, don't know.

I put it to you
that you're the one who's lying,

that you killed Harvey Pullman

because he was giving evidence
against you.

No. No, I didn't kill him!

So you weren't there that night?

You WERE there.

Found these at your apartment.

And we all know what this is,
don't we?

It's blood.

And Forensics confirm that
it's a match to Harvey Pullman's.

OK, thanks.

Well?
(SIGHS)

Dave Trilby's car
IS in Pullman's repair shop.

It's been there for four days.

How are you going on Trilby?
Not so much as a parking ticket.

His 'drinking in the pub' alibi
checks out.

There's no links to Simon?

Nothing that would give him reason
to have it in for him?

Well, some link to
some old case or something.

Nothing. He's a solid witness.
No, I don't buy it.

What about the blood on the shoes?
I know about the blood.

And I know about the witnesses.

But I also know Simon,

and there's gotta be
some other explanation for it.

Yeah, OK, I was there.

But Pullman was already dead
when I got there.

He was telling the truth
in his statement.

I did assault him, some months ago.

We were trying to force his
cooperation in an investigation.

But I didn't kill him.

Harvey Pullman sent you a message
that night, didn't he?

Your colleagues
found it in the phone records.

Yeah, he sent me a text message.

A message which you later deleted.

What did it say, Simon?

It basically implied that
his silence was for sale.

What, that he'd retract
his allegations against you?

Yeah, for a price.

Did you intend to pay him?
I don't know.

I don't know.
He hadn't named his price.

So he did name it and it was too high,
and you killed him instead.

Is that how it went?
No.

No?
NO! No!

And that is the truth.
The truth? (SCOFFS)

I don't think you know
what the truth is anymore.

And I think you need to reconsider
your statement- all of it.

Interview suspended at 2:12.

Great. OK, we'll be there in 10.

Dave Trilby's boss is gonna see us.
He's in Northcote.

Good.

Won't be a tick.
OK.

Dorothy.
Detective Buchanan!

Need a hand?
No, I'm fine. Thanks.

What is it?
I need to get these inside.

I won't hold you up. I just wanted
to tell you I spoke to Isabel.

She won't be troubling you anymore.
Oh, good.

Well, let's hope
that's an end to it.

Not for her, I suppose, but...

Well, thanks for coming
and telling me.

Pleasure.

OK?
OK.

Who's the guy?

Good question.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

No.

I think it is a legitimate
line of questioning.

You're looking for an out for him.
What I'm looking for is the truth.

Every motive has a psychological
underpinning, Senior Sergeant,

you know that.

My questioning Detective Joyner
could expose that.

It could just as easily expose
his guilt as his innocence.

We are after the truth, that's all.

And what have I been involved in?
A witch hunt?

If you're so confident
about your case,

an exploration of motive
should not be a problem, should it?

I don't believe you're a killer.

Well, that's a plus.

But I do think you have
some major issues.

Which I've been dealing with.

Some things need more than therapy.
They need time.

I took time.
No, you didn't.

Sitting shut in an apartment
isn't 'taking time'.

I believe you're suffering from
vicarious trauma syndrome.

So we've talked about
the feelings of helplessness.

The world isn't a safe place,
there's nothing you can do about it.

I didn't kill him.
Yes, you did.

Simon, you confront things
every day.

The worst kinds of evil.

Pullman was arrogant,
disrespectful of authority,

a wife-beater, a molester.

Harvey Pullman was garbage.

But I didn't kill him.

So how did you feel
when you went there?

I felt angry.

What did you intend to do?

I don't know. I don't know.

Put yourself there. In your head.

Think.

What did you see? Any detail.

Oh, God, this is a waste of time.

Stay here, Senior Sergeant.
She's checking his story.

Let her follow through.

What did you see? Feel?

He was dead.

You stepped in Pullman's blood
and you didn't realise?

I was just fixed on him.

And you were still angry.

At first I was relieved.

Then I was scared.

So I got out of there fast

because I knew
what it would look like.

Oh, yeah, like you were guilty.

What do you think you're doing,
Senior Sergeant?

I'm going to Command.
There's no more time to be bought.

We are not buying time,
Senior Sergeant.

We have to be sure.

A Homicide detective
goes down for murder,

the whole department gets tainted...

Your department is not my concern.

My concern is to see
Joyner dealt with. I'm done here.

(ALL CHATTER)

Alright, everybody. Listen up.

Short and not-so-sweet.

It's now been made official,
so everybody needs to know.

There will be no statements made
to the press or any other media,

unless made by me.

Detective Simon Joyner has been
officially charged with murder.

(SHOCKED MURMURS)

Jen.

I checked the rego of the car
that guy was driving.

Car belongs to a John Denzel.
Can you believe that?

Her son?
Yeah.

Looks like he loves his mum now.

But where was he
when little Eddie went missing?

When his mum was a suspect
in a murder? Nowhere to be seen.

Well, you've gotta follow that up.
Too right.

Now.

I've got this briefing now.
I'll get onto it later.

I'll cover for you.

Nick, go.

I owe you one.

More than one.

(CAR APPROACHES)

Is that your grandson, Dorothy?

Yes, Detective Buchanan,
I can explain.

I can explain...

Hey...

Hello, Eddie.

It was luck.

When I came to tell you
I'd warned off Isabel,

I saw you and your son.

Not that I recognised him. There were
never any photos in your house.

We're not close. We hardly speak.

That's right. You were estranged.

But that was all an act, wasn't it?

Look, my son's got
nothing to do with this.

He was living interstate at the time
of Eddie's disappearance.

Yeah, I know. Keeping a low profile
so he could hide the boy.

I told him to stay in Queensland.

But they wanted to be in Melbourne,
didn't they? Be close to me.

Bad idea.

When Isabel started coming
around again, I panicked.

I had to scare her off
once and for all.

So you got me to do that for you.

Pity I cared enough to come
and tell you the result personally,

otherwise you might've
got away with it.

I did it for all the right reasons,
you know.

That girl didn't care for her son.

Too busy partying and doing drugs.

The times I went around to her house
to found the boy all alone,

or her unconscious, drugged out,
on the couch.

So you arranged for
your son to kidnap him,

an alibi at the corner store,
and a staged break-in.

Which one of you cut the kid
to leave the blood behind?

(GASPS INDIGNANTLY)

All I was trying to do
was give that child a chance

of a halfway decent life.

My John always wanted a son.

But his wife couldn't
have children, so...

You and John will be charged
with child stealing

and false report to police.

Isabel Marsdale did not deserve
that little boy.

That was not your decision to make.

Or your son's.

Has his family seen this?

It's hard not to.

I called them. Let them know
we all think Simon's innocent.

If he's innocent,
Trilby has to be lying.

But why?

He's connected to
the Pullmans somehow.

Our doorknock turned up
several reports

of a green Subaru parked at
the corner near the Pullmans' house.

Trilby owns a green Subaru.

Maybe he just parks it there
when he's delivering his flyers.

Or he's a regular visitor.

I'll come with you to get Trilby.

I'll get the women with Allie.

So do what you usually do -
spin them a line.

Bloody press! Robber's dogs.

We'll have to give them
something soon.

Very soon.

Blake's organised a press conference
with the Commissioner.

They'll crucify him.

DUNCAN: You know the Pullmans,
don't you?

No.
MATT: Yes, you do.

Your car's parked by their house
every second afternoon.

I just leave it there.

So you know the house
we're talking about, do you?

Yes! it's always the little things.

OK, so I know them. Doesn't mean
I was lying about what I saw.

MATT: You know Sharnie Pullman.

I've never even heard of Dave Trilby
until just now.

So why does he park outside
your house every other afternoon?

How the bloody hell would I know?

I work every other day
at the hairdresser's.

Gonna have to go back
full-time now.

What days do you work?
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.

They're the days that you visit.
So it's not Sharnie, huh?

OK.

OK. So I was seeing Layla.

The little slut!

(LAUGHS)

Senior Sergeant,
if I could have a moment.

I've got a press conference
in 20 minutes.

Good. You have some time to spare.

Dave Trilby is your lover,
though, isn't he?

No.

He put one of our colleagues in
the frame for your stepfather's murder.

We're not in the mood to be lied to.

TRILBY: I'm not lying!
Yes, you are!

You killed Harvey Pullman.

You lured Simon Joyner there

by sending him a text message
on Pullman's phone.

Take a seat, Senior Sergeant.
I think you need to see this.

You pretended to be him.

The message said Pullman
would stay quiet for a price.

Nuh.

You and Dave stole the phone
so we'd think Simon Joyner took it

to cover up the message.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

Layla couldn't kill
Harvey Pullman by herself.

She got you to help her.

Why would she do that?
She told us why.

Because he was molesting her.

He'd been doing it for years.

Your mum wouldn't listen.
You had to do something.

He was supposed to be my dad,

but the evil bastard
wouldn't leave me alone.

So when I heard him talking to Mum
about how that cop assaulted him,

I knew exactly how to do it.

How to make him pay.

And you got Dave to help you.
Dave did whatever I told him to.

Did he kill your
stepfather for you?

No, no, it was her!

All I did was bash him in the head,
just knocked him out for her.

She did the rest. She's the one
that used the chain on him.

She's the one that sent the message
to Joyner. It was her.

Yeah, I did it. He deserved it.

I assume you'll be cancelling
that press conference.

(KNOCKS)

JARVIS: Detective Joyner.
Sir.

Detective Joyner,
you've been exonerated

in the matter of
Harvey Pullman's murder.

BLAKE: And in light of that,
Command have decided, at this point,

not to continue with
any further internal inquiries

into your previous cases.

Forgetting something,
Senior Sergeant?

And, uh, my apologies
for detaining you.

Apology accepted.

But I still don't think you're
suited to being a police officer.

And I think it's a matter of time

before your name
comes across my desk again.

Joyner.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

SONG: And I'm alright

Standing in the streetlights here

Is this meant for me?

My time on the outside is over

And we don't Know
how you're spending

All of your days

Knowing that love isn't here

You see the pictures
but you don't know their names

'Cause love isn't here

And I can't do this by myself

All of these problems
They're all in your head

And I can't be somebody else

You took something perfect

And painted it red

Well, you took something perfect

And painted it red

You take the best things from me

Then everything gets empty

That's not a world that I need

Oh, you take the best things
from me

Then everything is empty

That's not a world that I need

Oh, ooh, ooh

And I can't do this by myself

All of these problems
They're all in your head

And I can't be somebody else

You took something perfect

And painted it red.
