(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.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

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.
