(INDISTINCT CHILDREN CHATTER)

Children bring weird stuff to school.

It happens.

But this...

Can I see it?

Oh, OK.

This is one of my father's old work photos.

Bear solved that in one day.

Yeah, they're very close.

Look, I'm sure all that Alice

wanted to do was show off her granddad's handy work.

It's so lovely she has connection with him.

But we do have to consider the impact on the other children.

It's just a photo.

It's two people missing their heads.

Uh, they didn't lose them, Miss Julia.

They've been decapitated.

So, last month, a student left a pile of human waste

on the gym floor.

But the culprit was never publicly identified.

For very good reason.

But you've just singled my daughter out.

You've held her back while everyone else goes home over a photograph.

There will need to be an apology.

Thanks, Julia.

Mum, they watch weird warrior stuff and video games.

Heads exploding and dead bodies flying through the air.

This isn't just dead bodies, Alice.

This is two people having the worst day of their lives.

And listen, that could be the family of someone at your school.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hi.

Uh, just doing the school run. What's up?

Yeah, OK, talk to locals. I'll meet you there.

Hey. Hey, Dad.

Can you give me a call when you get this?

I need you to pick up Alice.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Are we in a crime scene?

Can I please come, please?

Who are you kidding, Kid? Here.

Granddad's on his way. Get him to bring me these.

Come here.

Love you, Mum.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Stay. Woof!

(THEME MUSIC)

(AMBULANCE SIREN WAILS)

Boss. Detective?

Call came in just after 3:30. Sonia Matthew is 35.

Two gunshot wounds, one on the left shoulder,

one on the back of the head.

Lives here with husband, Mike Simpson.

Where is he now? At work.

He's been informed by the local unit.

I've asked them to hold him in.

It looks like she pulled in the drive way,

grabbed her groceries...

Can you just hang on a sec?

I'm sorry, my bad.

The wound in her head, there's a burn mark around it

and the hair cinched.

She's been executed.

But here and her...

How does that make sense?

Who called it in?

Step son, Connor, eight-years-old.

Ran across to the neighbours. Eight?

Shit, Jarred.

Yeah.

He's in my car.

Thank you.

Hey, Connor.

Hi. I'm Holly. I'm a detective.

I'm so sorry about what happened today.

You did a really good job, though, going for help.

Did you see what happened? Yes.

I man run after Sonia, and he shot her.

She fell in the grass. OK.

Did you see the man's face?

I couldn't. He had a mask on.

He had a mask on.

And was that just covering his mouth?

No, his whole head was covered.

His whole head. Was it like a ski mask?

Yeah, that and black gloves.

Connor!

Connor! Oh!

Oh, my god!

Oh! Are you OK?

Mike and I have been divorced since Connor was a toddler.

He left me for Sonia, actually.

That must've been hard. Yeah.

But she's-she's been lovely Connor.

Um, couldn't have hoped for a better step mum for him, really.

You-you last spoke to her.

I texted her this afternoon about picking him up.

OK.

Was Mike ever violent towards you when you were married?

No. What about towards Sonia?

Not that I know of.

You-you don't think Mike did this, do you?

We always start with next of kin so we can strike him of our list.

Any recent stresses?

Connor's been accepted into a better school right near us.

We're reworking custody but... OK.

Unfortunately, Connor, has witnessed the incident,

which means we may need to ask him some more questions

but it won't be today.

Thank you, Detective.

I don't want my son to think about this ever again.

I understand, but just in case. Can we go?

Mm-hm. Sure. Connor.

Jarred. Come on, Connor.

Come on.

(EXHALES)

(LAUGHS) Good to see you.

Cheers. See you, mate.

Thanks for this, Dad. No worries.

Thanks, Dad. Hey.

Did you, um, speak to the husband?

Yeah. (SCOFFS)

Never crossed my mind, right.

Hey, listen, did Alice told you what happened at school today?

What? The photo.

Old Hamilton case.

Where did she get it?

I don't know.

Well, she showed it to her classmates, Dad.

It's not OK.

Well, at least I didn't take my little girl to a murder scene.

(SCOFFS) Thanks for the keys.

Holly. Yup.

So, I found these things in the bottom of the car.

They must have fallen out of Sonia's hand bag,

including a positive pregnancy test.

OK.

The house is being examined by our forensic unit.

So, we'll organise a place for you to stay for a day or two.

Where is my boy, Connor? He's fine.

He's with his mother.

Is there a problem with that?

Can you talk us through your day?

I, um, came here at 9:00.

Mm-hm. Had a meeting with a client.

Then I, uh, went to a design seminar at the Wallace Centre

and left around 12:00 and 12:30.

I got back around 4:00.

How did you get there and back?

My car. I drove.

What type of car do you drive?

A black Audi A3.

Mike, is there any reason why someone who wanna hurt Sonia?

No, of course, not.

And she hasn't fallen out with anyone?

No.

I mean, has anything happened in the last couple of days

that seemed out of the ordinary?

No. No.

Unexpected news?

No.

OK. We're going to get you settled.

We'll have to do a blood draw, take some prints.

Just, it helps us eliminate you from the crime scene.

That's fine. I'm happy to do it.

OK.

Uh, thank you for your time. And again, our condolences.

Melbourne is reeling today following emerging news

of a horrifying crime,

which has shattered the peaceful north-eastern suburbs.

We're across live now to police headquarters for the latest update.

At this stage, we can't confirm that there was a shooting,

which resulted in one fatality.

At 3:32 this afternoon, officers responded to a call

and discovered a woman killed in broad day light

after picking up a child from school.

Straight to the very heart of our community and home.

Share in the outrage this callous, brazen act.

Now our detectives... I'll meet you upstairs.

Hey, Mister Prosecutor.

Hey. How'd the hearing go?

Not great.

Was just commiserating with armed robbery.

Sorry I couldn't get across town. Nah, it's OK.

Um, I mean, Alice has to write a note

but I managed to just move it over.

I'm sure you did. I'll speak to Bear.

Nah, I've dealt with him too.

Heard about the shooting. Yeah.

Hey, there's a shepherd's pie in the freezer.

Can you pop it in the oven for Alice when you get home?

(SCOFFS) I'm going for a drink with Dylan.

I think I told you. No, you did tell me that.

Here I was just thinking he had hung around to say hello to me.

Yeah, no.

Stop harassing that poor woman you happy prick.

Mate, the shine on that suit is making my eyes bleed.

Look at that. Dylan.

Holly.

Looks like you're in for big night too.

Yeah.

But, hopefully, I won't wake up

in the morning regretting my existence.

Oh, come on, I'll make sure Luke has a few waters along the way.

Goes so well with scotch.

Don't worry about it. I'll speak to Bear.

No, I'm not worried. I'm just busy.

Thanks.

Phone tap on the husband should be up in the next ten minutes.

Great. OK.

So, Sonia was born in the UK.

Came here on a backpack visa in 2012.

Employed at Bistro Lille.

I've got her social media account.

She married Mike five years ago.

Big wedding in Q (Queensland), her parents flew out.

It was lovely. OK. Any criminal history?

No, she's as clean as they come. What about the ex-wife?

Did some preliminaries on her.

Bianca White hold no arrest, no criminal record.

OK. Keep her in the mix.

There's some tension around custody.

And can you check out the new husband?

Quentin Whitehall. He's a criminal barrister.

Just finished the Longwarry trial.

Well, that was the shooting at the bikie clubhouse.

Yeah, he managed to get his client off,

even though the gun was found in the guy's storage.

Well, put him on the list, too.

Guys.

Inspector. This is Gabe.

Topped his class in tech. He's here to help.

Great. Uh, I'm Holly.

Uh, Gabriel King. Jarred Pines.

What happened to the foot?

Uh... Training accident.

Just tell me it's not a gun shot wound, Mate.

No, it's, um, it's better, so.

I'm Maia. We have CCTV coming through now.

Great. Um, I can take a look at that.

OK. Over here.

We got it from the house opposite Sonia's.

Is he permanent? Uh, it's up to you, really.

He's been in uniform about seven years.

Graduated detective training six weeks ago.

Green.

And talented.

I think with the right guidance, he might make a good addition.

We all need someone to get us a break, right?

Mm-hm.

So, how's it looking?

Well, my eye witness is an eight-year-old.

Yeah. You've dealt with worse.

Yeah, but he's been through enough.

He doesn't need me poking on his wounds.

Well, just make sure that you don't have to.

OK? Mm-hm.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

I've left a message with the Wallace Centre.

Waiting on call backs to check Mike's alibi.

OK, good. Go for it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Sonia arriving home.

Black car goes past.

First shot.

Second.

Three misses.

Well...

Oh no.

Um, no movement, not for about two minutes.

Then... this.

God.

I hate anything to do with kids. It's so cringey.

It's not really about you right now, Jarred.

Um, can you take me back to the shooter?

Could that be the husband?

Similar size.

What kind of car went through frame?

Uh, Mercedes. I've put out an alert.

Mmm. Mike drives an Audi.

It's just so strange

that he didn't mention Sonia's pregnancy at all.

Maybe she hadn't got around telling him.

Maybe she knew what he'd do.

OK, so, um, let's just prioritise those three lines.

Mike is the shooter, Mike has hired someone to kill her,

or it's a commission to hit by an outside party.

Maia, can you look for money trail?

If Mike did organise it, then he had to buy a gun

or pay that fool to do it for him.

Back in a minute.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Shit.

I'm too scared to walk out the door. How can anyone feel safe?

Go to the door now when there's a mad

man like this on the loose.

That's gotta be our number one priority.

There's growing outrage in Melbourne

after the parents of murdered Greensborough woman, Sonia Matthews,

shared a heart-breaking last message from their beloved daughter.

Happy birthday, Mum.

Me and the family miss you so much.

I wish I was there to give you a big hug.

I promise I'll be there with you for Christmas.

(CARS HONK)

(MESSAGE ALERT)

Oh, grumpy text between Sonia and Bianca,

three hours before the shooting.

Yeah?

Bianca, "Picking up at 3:30." Sonia, "6pm as agreed.

Mike wants to see him after work."

Bianca, "3pm, don't dick me around." Mmm.

Bianca made it sound like they were friends

or, you know, friendly anyway.

Hey, uh, Holly, um, uniform's found a Mercedes.

Same make and model as the one in the footage,

and it was stolen just before the hit.

Abandoned in a paddock near Thomastown.

OK. But it's been torched.

Nothing left in it to ID a shooter. No DNA profile, no fingerprints.

Because that would be way too easy. OK.

Hey, how's the money trail going?

Few gaps in is spending we can't account for.

Nothing to cover a hit,

but I doubt that would be in his day-to-day banking accounts anyway.

But he might have others ways of moving money.

Yeah, yeah, we need to access his hardware.

The Wallace Centre doesn't have a record

of Mike attending the design seminar.

But they also said it was obligatory to sign the register.

They did mention he was booked in with a colleague, Dallas Lang.

She didn't sign it either.

Check the company website. OK, you two look into her.

I'm gonna take Gabe to Sonia's. OK.

Let's make sure we haven't missed anything.

What do you think is going on with Holly?

What do you mean? She's edgy.

Don't you reckon? 'Cause she told you to shut up?

(LAUGHS) That's probably just the case.

There he is, Mike Simpson orthopaedic design engineer.

Here's a profile.

Interesting. She's an accountant.

When did being an accountant become interesting?

(LAUGHS) No.

I mean, why would an accountant go to an orthopaedic design seminar?

Hold on. Bring up Sonia's photos.

Mmm.

There was a picture of them at the bar.

There.

I've always loved design of any kind.

Even orthopaedic?

Mmm.

Dallas, I've spoke with the Wallace Centre,

and they have no record of your attendance.

OK, look... Don't waste our time, please.

We didn't go the seminar.

We played tennis.

What time did you get back to work?

Uh, we took separate cars.

Maybe 2:30, 3:00. And Mike?

4:00-ish.

Why did it take Mike so much longer to get back to work?

He said he'd stop for a shower.

Look who we got.

Hi there. Hi.

Did you know her?

Uh, the kids played out in the street.

Said hi occasionally, but, um, no, not really.

OK. Never mind. It's OK.

Hey, Rose. Huh. Hey.

Uh, pathology results are through. Oh, yeah.

Sonia was eight weeks pregnant, and confirms it was the husband.

OK. Yeah.

Um, so, we are pretty much done here.

So do you want me to lock up or you...

No, I'll take care it. It's fine. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You take a girl to the nicest places.

How's the underworld treating you, Keith?

Uh, you know, same shit different bucket.

Right out doing Dylan's dirty work. What can I do you for?

That shooting in Greensborough,

it's a chance it could be an organised hit.

So, this is the husband. Oh, yeah.

Can you ask around and see if anyone might've done a job yesterday?

Has he got that kind of cash? Mmm.

Can't get anyone decent to front him the 100 grand?

Yeah.

Decent might be a generous description of our shooter.

How much does a 9mil cost these days?

Clean one, 20 grand give or take.

OK, maybe ask about that too.

Sure. Why not?

So, uh, got any cash in the budget for me on this one?

I might have, uh, like, 20 bucks in my purse.

Mm-hm. Mmm, I'll take it.

Get stuffed. (LAUGHS)

You put it on Dylan's account. Yeah, yeah.

Mm-hm. Hey, uh, looking good, Holls.

You look like you haven't slept in a week.

Yeah, that's the look I'm going for.

See ya.

What have you got, Gabe? OK.

So, in-in June of 2015, Mike opened a national bank account,

and the sum of $10,000 was deposited.

But it was instantly transferred out to a HSBC account in Hong Kong.

He's sending money offshore?

Uh, just once.

No other activity on the account?

Literally one transaction, ten grand in and out.

But here is where it starts to get dodgy.

I found this USB in Mike's home office drawer.

Uh, it's a bitcoin wallet.

OK. So, how much is in there?

Um, well, there's no way to know. It's password protected.

But it is dated July of 2015.

So, even after crypto shut itself,

ten Gs in Bitcoin in 2015.

It's worth around 200 grand now.

That will pay for a hit man. Or a gun.

I just can't get the picture of Sonia out of my head.

Sonia Matthew's murder certainly stirred up...

I wanna know if it could happen to me or-or not, I mean...

They got all the stuff, right?

..can someone just tell us... You know, cameras and shit.

You've already started. I'm really sorry.

No, all good. I just got home myself.

Mmm. Yup.

Is that your famous chicken?

Yup, special request.

Oh! Yeah.

Where are you? Here.

Well, there is more. So yummy.

Yeah. How's work?

Yeah, did you find a suspect?

Can I do... I'm gonna have a bite of chicken first

and then I'll tell you everything.

OK.

Have you established...

You need motive, means, and...

Opportunity! Opportunity.

Yes, you need to work on getting your suspect to talk,

because nothing beats a good confession.

Yeah. Uh, don't push it, Alice.

You still need to make an apology to 4B.

But you fixed that with Ms Julia. Mm.

You still have to do your part.

Yeah.

Well, actually, may be Bear can help you with that.

Yeah, sure. Wine?

No, thanks. Sure?

Yeah.

Not bad. Woah! Is it great?

Not bad. Whoo!

Ooh! What's this? Alice, can you sit down, please?

A-Alice, out of there. Come on.

Hands up. You're under arrest.

(LAUGHS) You are dead.

Well, you never walk up to a suspect alone.

Because someone is gonna do exactly what I did

and that won't be just a finger that's pointed at you.

It will be... OK, enough, Dad.

Enough.

Case going that well, eh.

I'm just gonna have a quick shower.

OK. I was just kidding.

It's OK.

Um.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, just sick of my dad's bullshit.

(EXHALES) How was last night?

It was great. Yeah.

Until Dylan started crying into his bourbon.

About Shawn?

He says it's only been nine months since she died,

and everyone's already forgotten about her.

That's not true. I think about her. I know.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

you know it's her birthday in a couple of weeks.

I mean, we could may be organise something...

A dinner...

I don't know, a barbecue.

So, he's not alone, you know.

That'd be nice.

Is there anything else?

No.

No, I'm fine. I just...

This woman has just being chased around like a dog

and executed in front a little kid.

It's just a bit...

Why don't I, um, clean up the kitchen,

put Alice to bed, then we can...

OK.

(EXHALES)

Hey. Hey, Dylan.

One of my UCs failed to make his weekly catch up yesterday.

Old mate of yours, Keith Bird. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, he's always had a bit of a soft spot

for you, hasn't he?

Finds the time.

Uh, w-well, we went through the academy together.

So... Yeah, yeah.

Have you heard from him recently?

Um, no.

Last I heard he was deep in with the bikies.

He's working for you, isn't he? Yes! Yes.

And being seen in the company of a detective

could be very compromising for him for my case,

for my entire game unit.

But I'm sure he's OK. I mean, it's Keith.

It's Keith.

Well, if you hear from him...

I'll be sure to warn him, Dylan. OK.

We went out to the tennis court.

Oh, yeah?

Club CCTV picked up Mike and Dallas for about 12:15.

OK, so, his alibi stands. Yes and no.

They were only there for about 20 minutes.

She hit three aces.

Nearly took his head off with the last one.

Left the court after barely warming up.

Opens up a substantial gap in his timeline.

Let's bring her in.

Where are we at?

Kirsten, uh, I would like to offer a reward.

See if I can flush out any more leads.

We can ask the commissioner.

I have several lines of enquiry.

First, the husband as the shooter,

which would explain the gunman's inaccuracy.

But where would a guy like him get a gun?

He still needs someone with contacts to sell him one,

and hence my need for a reward.

OK. I'll ask the commissioner.

What else have you got? OK.

The second line of enquiry is that her husband, Mike, hired a hit man.

Now, we've uncovered a stash of Bitcoin,

which would allow him to do that.

Again, if we could access

the criminal world with a bit of cash.

I take your point about the reward home.

And, thirdly, his ex-wife and her husband...

Mmm.

There's some issues with custody.

And they do have contacts with the criminal world.

How's that? He's a criminal barrister.

He just got the Longwarry shooter off.

OK, so, what if we get the gangs unit in?

Dylan and his boys could help

with the criminal barrister side of things.

I don't think that would be necessary.

I mean, thank you.

But, just...

Just let me and my team run with this for now.

OK. Oh.

Uh, you've got a live cross with the Channel Nine news tonight.

Oh, no, you can't do that.

No, I did my bit I made the formal statement.

It's your turn. Think of it as an opportunity, Holl.

OK. Thank you.

Tell us about your relationship with Mike Simpson.

We work together, play tennis occasionally.

How long did you play the last time you two got together?

Uh, we left work about 12:00.

Got back maybe...

We just need to know how long you were on the actual court.

It was hot. So, we took a break.

After 20 minutes?

See, in the original statement, you said that you didn't get back

to the office until 2:30, 3:00.

Help us understand where that time went.

We did some other exercises. Do you mean sex?

Don't shame me because I'm sex positive.

You supplied a murder suspect with a false alibi.

That's conspiracy, Dallas. That's comes with a jail term.

We had a hit.

And then Mike and I had sex in my car.

Did he mention Sonia at all?

Did he tell you what was going on with her?

Yeah.

He sent me an email.

(DOOR KNOCKS)

He was pretty angry that she was pregnant.

Bianca just called. Detective.

Mm-hm.

(POLICE SIREN WAILS)

Connor!

He is not coming out to you, Mike.

Hey, come over here, Mike.

Have a chat with us.

You're in enough trouble, Mike. Don't make it worse.

This is exactly what you wanted, isn't it?

Yeah, well, you will never see him again,

if you don't leave now.

Bianca, just stop. I'm his dad. He's my son.

I just wanna see my boy! Mike, let's have a talk.

Connor! Let's have a talk outside.

Please, just stay away from my family.

Connor! Dad!

Hey, come here. Connor! Connor!

Get away from my son! Mike, don't...!

Leave him! Stop taser!

(GRUNTS IN PAIN) Leave him alone!

Dad!

Get him out of here! Now! Go!

Just breathe, Mike.

Just breathe.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

Mike, this interview is being recorded.

So, anything that you say can be used as evidence in court.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

I'd like to ask you some questions about the death of your wife.

Is that OK?

Yeah.

Mike, can you describe your relationship with Dallas Lang?

She's a friend.

She, uh, we went to that seminar together.

Dallas gave us quite of different account.

She said that you had sex in her car.

Would you agree with that statement?

OK. Yes.

You opened a national bank account in June 2015.

What was that for?

Uh, it's... (BREATHES HEAVILY)

When I was a kid, I-I used mow lawns for this old lady down the street.

Her name was Mrs Cobb. You can go check it out.

I got a call years later that she passed.

And-and she had left me money in her will.

It was $10,000 and I bought Bitcoin.

What did you do with them? Nothing.

I forgot about 'em until the price went through the roof.

And I-I remembered that they gave me this long bloody password.

I'd lost it and now I can't access them.

I don't know.

I re... I reckon they'd would be worth lot of money.

I-I don't know. Ah.

$200,000.

I mean, that'll make a nice little escape package for you and Dallas.

Mike, why didn't you mention Sonia's pregnancy at all?

I... I didn't... I didn't know.

Can you read this aloud, Mike?

I believe it's an email you sent to Dallas.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Read it.

I wouldn't kill her for this!

"Hi, Dallas.

Let's catch up for tennis if you know what I mean."

Skip ahead, and it says, "Sonia's got herself pregnant

after I told the stupid bitch it wasn't the right time."

So, you didn't want another child?

I'm struggling to keep Connor as it is.

Detective, I get that I'm a suspect.

I'm her husband, but please believe me.

I loved my wife.

Then why don't you stop messing us around

and tell us where you were between 2

and 4pm on the day that Sonia was murdered?

I-I was at...

I was at my ex's place.

I was at Bianca's.

Why were you at Bianca's?

Because she texted Sonia saying she was coming early to pick him up.

Just like that, I wouldn't have got to see my son after work.

And so...

I went there and I-I slashed her tyres,

just so she couldn't drive.

Is that possible?

There are texts on Sonia's phone about pick up time.

And, his ex did turn up at the scene in a taxi.

What about the timing?

Bianca's over the other side of town.

It could explain the time missing in his original statement.

Oh, it's just a pity.

You know, and it will impact his custody of Connor's.

The whole... It's pathetic.

So, why admit if it's not true?

Go and check his alibi.

Still doesn't rule out that he could've paid

someone else to do the job for him.

Fuck. What an idiot!

Me, not him. I mean, we both are idiots.

I should have waited until I could link the gun to him,

at least found out where the money went first.

It's good circumstantial evidence here, Holly.

You are right to question him.

Yeah, but he's gonna clam up now. I've completely blown it.

What's going on here, Holly?

You said no to Dylan's help, and I'm pretty sure

you're working with an undercover

when he should be involved in another case.

And now what, you're kicking yourself?

Because got a pregnant victim, a child involved.

What is it?

(BREATHES HEAVILY) Mmm?

Pull yourself together.

You got a live cross in ten. Oh, no. Come on, Kirsten.

It's part of the job, Holl.

Maybe it will shake something loose.

Holly. Hi Narina.

Ready to go? Ready?

Yeah.

Three, two.

I'm here at police headquarters with detective Holly O'Rourke,

who is overseeing the investigation.

Detective, there's been an out pouring of grief

and anger in response to this shooting.

Can you tell us

what the investigation looks like so far?

Uh, firstly, I'd like to say that, I share everyone's pain

and frustration at this unacceptable act of violence.

Some people have said today that this is an attack on all of us.

I understand their concern,

but let's not forget Sonia Matthew in this.

There's been reports the husband has been interviewed.

Is he a suspect? I can't comment on that.

But, no, uh, charges have been laid. No.

And do we know why she was targeted?

Did she have links to criminal activity?

Uh, not that we are aware of. No.

Did she have links to underground crime or gangland associations?

Or was she known to police prior to her death?

Well, her murder. And no, uh, not at all.

Sonia Matthews was a... She's a loving step mother.

She was pregnant with her first child.

She was pregnant.

That is heartbreaking, Detective. Yes, it is.

Are you confirming that police have made no progress

in identifying the killer of this pregnant woman?

The more information we have from the public...

(WHISPERS) She shouldn't have shared that information the baby.

She sounds desperate.

Well, she had to do something. Holly is making a mess of this.

No, but, she... Thank you for your time, Detective.

We'll cross now back to the studio.

And we're done. Thanks.

Hi.

Sonia's mother just called from the UK.

The pregnancy news has gone viral.

She wants to know why we didn't tell her Sonia was pregnant.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

What did you say?

Well, she hung up before I could explain.

She's really upset.

Yeah, I shouldn't have let her find out like that.

I... will call her.

Um, Mike's alibi? It stands up.

There's CCTV of him near Bianca's house

at the time of the murder.

So... OK. So, he's not the shooter.

Alright.

Let's put aside why Sonia was killed and look at how.

Look, I-I have an undercover who's doing some work on the gun.

So, I'll follow up with him. OK.

And let's just widen our focus

to anyone who's dealing in illegal weapons.

I can check with Dylan for hit man new to the job

or a bit slapdash.

Yeah, good.

Sonia might not have had criminal links,

but whoever executed her might have.

Maybe narrative's right. Maybe there is a gangland link.

Gangland, under world, organised crime,

whatever they wanna call it, but there's a lot of pressure

from the press now and public outrage.

They will be shutting themselves.

So, they're gonna try and distance themselves from this.

We have to make sure we get to them before they evaporate.

Thanks. OK.

Hello! Hey.

Interesting TV interview.

Yeah.

I don't re...ally wanna talk about that work right now, Dad.

Yeah, that's what usually happens when you don't have the evidence.

Fuck! Why do you always do that?

Do what?

You treat me like I don't know how to do my job.

No, I don't. I'm proud of you.

OK, so, you don't even know you're doing it,

which is obviously worse.

I know what it's like to feel you've failed a murder victim.

And that's not a nice space to be.

(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)

Dad? I'm sorry.

Daddy, you're... You OK?

Dad.

Just give me a call if you want me to pick Alice.

(BEADS RATTLE)

(SMIRKS)

(WHISPERS) I love you!

Hi.

Yeah... How are you?

Hey, listen, I need to talk to you.

Uh, well...

I'm pregnant.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, it's a shock.

(DOOR OPENS)

I've gotta go, but I'll call you tomorrow.

Ah, bye.

Hey. Hey.

You OK? Huge day. Hammered.

Want some wine?

Shit, yeah. I'll get you a glass.

Who was on the phone?

Just work.

You get your man?

Not yet.

Thank you. Mmm.

Ah! (CHUCKLES)

Where's Alice?

In bed, asleep.

Hmm.

(GROANS)

I've missed you.
