Original subtitles

TREVOR: I can't believe you came back, after what you did.

MACKENZIE: I mean, it's been six years

and still no-one here likes me.

COLIN: Sorry? Who ARE you? Mackenzie Clarke.

Detective Inspector, Metropolitan Police.

Mackenzie used to have your job. Why'd you leave?

COLIN: Is there anything going on

between Mackenzie Clarke and Glenn Strong?

REGGIE: Leaving him at the altar six years ago,

flying to London and never speaking to him again.

The boss was gonna be her mother-in-law?!

MACKENZIE: What's the situation? Is there gonna be an inquiry?

Say it'll be a matter of months. Months?

We are the only station in the whole of Australia

that will employ you, even temporarily.

(SIGHS)

MAN: OK, guys. Three, two, one.

Hey, Jadies! Congratulations!

It's the end of our 8-week running program.

And today's the day we put all of our hard work to the test.

I'm here with Curtis. Hey, Jadies!

(LAUGHS) So, we are on the start line

of the annual Cove 10K,

in the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Dolphin Cove.

Wherever you are in the world, Jadies,

I hope that you can join with us in running 10 k

and discovering what we're capable of.

OK.

Make sure you've had your Jade Elevate,

stay hydrated, and get ready to be your absolute best.

Whoo!

(CHEERING)

Go, Jadies!

Go, Jadies! Whoo-hoo!

(LAUGHS)

OK. Great. I think we've got it.

Uh, now I'm getting you at the drink station, yeah?

Perfect. OK. See you there.

MAN 2: (AMPLIFIED) All runners, are you ready?

(CHEERING)

MAN 2: On your marks!

Get set!

(HORN BLASTS)

(CHEERING)

(PHONE ALERT CHIMES)

RECORDING: Hi. Mackenzie, it's... it's Curtis Faleafa.

I know we've never really spoken, but...

..I need your help...

..or more people are gonna die.

(RECIPIENT'S PHONE RINGS)

RECORDING: Hey. You've reached Curtis.

I can't come to the phone right now, so...

..if you just leave your name and number, that'd be s...

(SIGHS)

(TYRES SCREECH)

You are NOT coming through here.

Road's closed.

I need to get milk. Well, you need mil...

Oh, Shelley.

No worries.

Just mind the runners. Yep.

Uh!

You let HER through!

Take care and have a nice day.

DAISY: Ah! Mackenzie Clarke. Oh. Hi, Daisy.

Hi!

I heard you were back.

Temporarily.

(PANTS) Are you, um...

..you trying to get through?

Road's closed.

You let Shelley through.

Come on, Trev!

She shouldn't even be back here.

(SIGHS)

I don't WANT to be back here, Trevor, but I am,

and because of that, I'm in a bad mood all the time,

and I'm just looking for someone to take it out on.

Is that going to be you?

No.

Good.

Remember that.

And act accordingly.

(LAUGHS)

(PANTS)

At this pace, it's a PB.

No rush. Let's just stay relaxed, get a drink, get through it.

(PANTS)

MAN: Alright, guys. Let's get a reel.

Feeling good, babe? Yeah, 100%.

Jade? Give us a wave.

(PANTS) (PANTS)

Hi, Jadies! (LAUGHS)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

REGGIE: Honestly, the most beautiful place in the world

and these galoots just bespoil it.

We should have stocks out the front of the surf club

for anyone who litters, and then just throw rotten fruit at them.

(LAUGHS) That's a human rights violation.

Oh! Human rights!

Hey, hey. Look who's coming!

Well, go, guys! Come on, Col! Come on, Glenn!

Whoo-hoo! Nice form, Glenn.

(PANTS)

No!

Missed it by 30 seconds.

Doesn't matter, mate. Beautiful run.

How are you not even puffing?

Whoo! (LAUGHS)

Oh! Thank you.

Curtis, get in here. (SHUTTER CLICKS)

Oh. Did you go a bit hard at the end there?

Are you OK?

Curtis?

Curtis? (GROANS)

Curtis!

Curtis?

Curtis!

Somebody help!

Curtis!

(INAUDIBLE)

He collapsed just after the finish line. Looks like a heart attack.

I didn't see it but, um, heard the crowd.

Hang on.

Were you here?

You actually came out to watch a...

..fun run?

A mother comes out to support her son?

Shocking.

Glenn's here.

Yeah. And Colin.

Curtis Faleafa.

You know him?

He was below you at school, wasn't he?

Was he a runner? 800. He was good.

MACKENZIE: Listen to this.

CURTIS: (ON RECORDING) Hi. Mackenzie.

It's...it's Curtis Faleafa.

I know we've never really spoken, but...

..I need your help...

..or more people are gonna die.

When'd you get that?

About an hour ago.

Did you call him back?

No answer. Guess he was running.

So, he leaves you that,

and then soon after...

..dead.

What are the reasons a fit guy like Curtis

would just drop dead after a race?

It can happen. Undiagnosed heart disorder.

Sudden cardiac arrest. Aneurysm.

It's rare, though.

What's that?

Phone number? MACKENZIE: Yeah, maybe.

Looks like signs of vomit in his mouth.

Maybe he just went too hard.

Not based on his time.

He's sweating a bit.

(LAUGHS) Just run 10 k.

MACKENZIE: Or...

..it's poison.

Maybe, but nothing familiar in the symptoms.

People do just have heart attacks.

Yeah, but...

..do they have them an hour after they call a police officer

saying that they're in trouble,

that people are gonna die?

(SIGHS)

Who was with him?

His partner.

Jade. (SIGHS)

McCready?

Um...before we, uh...

You know, just to clarify.

So you're officially working here now?

So it seems.

So I guess it means I should probably

take the lead in investigations.

Does it?

Well, it makes sense, I think, as a detective senior constable.

I'm a DI.

Well...not strictly a rank we have in Australia, though.

Different systems.

Still, what would it be here?

To avoid confusion, just so we don't step on each other's toes.

Keep your toes out of the way.

I won't step on them.

How does someone just die like that?

We didn't even go that fast.

You know, it was just about participating and...

..and showing the Jadies that just showing up and getting out there

is more important than speed.

Sorry. The Jadies?

My followers.

COLIN: Uh, online.

Jade's an influencer.

I don't really like that term.

It doesn't really reflect the community I've built up.

It's not just about me.

Right.

Is that why your company's called Jade?

We focus on exercise and wellness.

But we've also expanded into activewear

and exercise equipment and supplements.

And it's successful?

JADE: Yeah.

We've helped a lot of people be their best.

Did you notice anything different about Curtis this morning?

No.

Was he worried about anything?

(SIGHS)

Just the usual.

Work. The business.

I don't know. I guess what everybody worries about.

CURTIS: (ON RECORDING) Hi. Mackenzie.

It's...it's Curtis Faleafa.

I know we've never really spoken, but...

..I need your help...

..or more people are gonna die.

What?

MACKENZIE: He left that on my phone

just before he died.

Do you have any idea what that could be about?

None whatsoever.

Did Curtis eat or drink much up until he collapsed?

No. We fast in the mornings.

Nothing during the run?

I don't think so.

Oh, wait. Hang on. He did have a drink.

Where from?

Yep. This is the only drink station.

Once they get out on the bush track,

it's the only place we can get water in.

And could anyone else get access to the water or the cups?

Oh. Everyone.

Once they get cracking, it's like a zoo.

Flat out from go to whoa. I can barely keep up.

And do you hand them the cups?

MAN: Fill 'em up, put 'em out, people take 'em.

Then they chuck 'em all over the place.

Right.

Before we move on, do you know what this is?

Yeah. I don't know.

Phone number?

Thanks.

(CLEARS THROAT)

So Keith and anyone in the race had access to the drink station?

You seriously think it's poison? Mm-hm.

Because Glenn said his symptoms could just be a heart attack.

Yes, but with someone so young, with no pre-existing condition?

And it doesn't explain the message he left on my phone.

But Curtis is the only victim.

Uh...he could have eaten or drank anything.

Mmm.

Let's look into that.

Everything that went into his body before and during the race.

Including the cups?

Including the cups.

All of them.

(SIGHS)

GLENN: So, to find any trace evidence of poison in the cups,

I add solvent and water to each cup... (SIGHS)

..combine it with the other samples,

10 batches.

We then run them through the desktop centrifuge.

And you're looking for the poison?

Not strictly.

Anything unexpected that could have produced

the sort of symptoms we saw.

And?

Nothing so far. And I've done most of them.

There has to be something.

Does there?

Look at all these cups.

The idea that somehow there's poison in one of them...

(BEEPING) ..is absolute...

Oh! Batch three, a hit.

You're having a laugh.

What is it? I don't know yet.

Have to send the samples to the labs in town to go through the machine.

Could take a while, but it's something.

So one of these cups has something in it?

At least one. It could be more.

But no-one else has any symptoms.

It had to be intended for Curtis.

There's...no outside chance it was random?

Not random!

He left me a message.

So you're saying, of all the hundreds of runners,

hundreds of cups,

the killer managed to get the poisoned one into Curtis's hand?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Well...it...it's impossible. (LAUGHS)

Apparently not.

But how?

Oh!

Come on.

There's no way anyone could get there to poison a cup.

I told you, the place was chaos.

Hundreds of runners pounding through the bush.

They're all grabbing cups.

(RUNNER PANTS)

And you knew Curtis?

I guess.

You guess? Yes or no?

Yeah.

He was a friend.

You don't seem very sad.

Well, we didn't really

see each other that much anymore.

But you used to?

I used to coach him in footy,

for years.

COLIN: What happened?

I stopped coaching.

What happened to your hand?

I caught it in the boat rack.

Hopeless.

PHILOMENA: OK, we've got Curtis Faleafa.

He's 32, super-fit.

He is the partner

of a successful influencer.

She doesn't like that word. (LAUGHS)

Right.

Um, he is, uh, poisoned by something in a cup

that he took from the, uh, drink station.

Mm-hm - Glenn is narrowing down

which of the cups had our suspicious substance in it.

Once we find it... (SNAPS FINGERS) ..that is our weapon.

And we're sure Curtis was the target?

Mm-hm. He knew he was in danger.

Because of the message he left on your phone?

That couldn't be a coincidence? (LAUGHS)

No, it could.

If coincidences happened, which they don't.

Keith Cole was staffing the drink station.

He knew Curtis, but he was being funny about it.

Something going on there. (HUMS)

No motive that we can see so far, but he did potentially have opportunity.

What are you...what are you up to?

Oh, I just thought I'd

put my craft skills to good use.

I was the founding member of the Dolphin Cove Crafty Cats. (LAUGHS)

"Murder board".

Who else had opportunity and access to the cups?

Oh - well, I've put together a timeline of Curtis's race,

based on what I found on the socials.

Here we are.

The start of it.

MACKENZIE: Mm-hm.

Hey, Jadies! Congratulations!

It's the end of our 8-week running program.

Today's the day... Here's another one.

Whoo! Yes!

Look. Curtis drank from that.

JADE: Go, Jadies! No, she did too.

It can't be that. FELIX: And here's the last one.

MACKENZIE: Yep. That's the drink station.

FELIX: And there's Jade. COLIN: And there's Curtis.

Feeling good, babe? Yeah, 100%.

MAN: Jade, give us a wave.

(LAUGHS) Hi, Jadies! (LAUGHS)

That's all I've got.

So we've got Keith Cole at the scene as well as Jade.

Mmm - who's Australia's most successful wellness entrepreneur,

selling supplements.

Famous for triumphing over cancer.

Twice. What's that?

It was the second time.

She also had cancer when she was in high school. Do you remember?

Mmm. Oh, yeah. Of course. Year 9. Yeah, yeah. Mmm.

She was sick for months. She had the chemo, the works.

REGGIE: Yeah, she was such a quiet kid, then all of a sudden,

everyone was rallying around her, raising money.

Footy team shaved their heads.

It was amazing. Yeah, and then she beat it.

Well, it came back, and she beat it, using only her supplements.

But this time, she turned it into a global wellness empire worth

$40 million.

Oh, God, you're joking!

For juices?

Uh, supplements.

It was leaked a couple of weeks ago that Jade's brand was gonna be sold

to a large private equity firm in Singapore.

That was the price.

Where would that money go?

Uh, Jade's company is owned 50/50 by...

..Jade and Curtis.

Right. So if he dies...

COLIN: Jade gets the lot.

40 million bucks.

Is that enough to poison your partner?

COLIN: Wow.

We're in the wrong business.

Maybe I SHOULD start taking those bribes.

In this town?

What would you get?

10 bucks and a stubby? (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)

So, since you're staying in Dolphin Cove...

For now.

..does that mean in terms of renting your place out...?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, no, it's fine. No big deal. (LAUGHS)

Happy where I am, you know, looking over the, uh, pub car park.

It's, um...it's lively.

(LAUGHS)

Mmm.

Are you suggesting I'm responsible?

WOMAN: Yep. I'm just gonna take this out.

Well, you do stand to gain $20 million from his death.

How much money do you think I need?

I loved Curtis more than any amount of money.

And it's not even about that for me.

I was just as happy when I was...

..mixing up supplements in my mum's kitchen

and selling them at the market.

You've done pretty well out of it, though.

Look. I'm not going to say I don't like what money CAN do.

I just hate what I have to do for it.

Endless posting, reels, photos, living my whole life online.

I'm really looking forward to selling my business

and throwing my phone into the sea.

MAN: Jade. Sorry.

Uh, just to let you know, I've cancelled

the filming we had scheduled,

and I've put a simple message of "in memoriam" on all the accounts.

Thank you.

(PHONE RINGS) Sorry.

Do you mind if I just...?

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Who's he?

Nick. Our manager.

Mmm.

Hey, do you want to grab a drink at the surf club?

With you?

Uh, in...in theory, yes.

Why?

In the spirit of teamwork.

Properly welcome you back to Dolphin Cove.

Oh, I won't be here that long.

Still.

It's a thing people do when they work together.

Not really MY thing.

Sure. (LAUGHS)

DAISY: Is Mackenzie coming in for a drink?

Doesn't like "coming for a drink", apparently.

Doesn't like people as far as I can tell.

Or anything.

(CAN HISSES) I get it.

She's a better detective than you.

And you're worried. (LAUGHS)

She's NOT a bad detective than me.

Colin, it's been nine months since my bike got nicked

and you got nothing.

The case is still open!

(LAUGHS) They left the front wheel behind.

Whoever pinched it couldn't have got that far.

I am a good detective.

I was managing fine without a partner.

Don't need some...hot shot thinking she's better than everyone.

She's stuck-up, dismissive

and walks out on everybody all the time.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(SIGHS) Oh.

How much of that do you think she...?

Knowing Mackenzie Clarke, every word.

(SIGHS)

MACKENZIE: What have you found?

I've narrowed it down to the exact cup Curtis must have drunk from.

Partial print. Nothing that helps.

And Keith was wearing gloves, so there wouldn't be any of HIS prints.

I'm, uh, still waiting to hear back

about the blood tox samples I sent off.

Mmm.

You know Trevor had a go at me again this morning?

He can hold a grudge.

He's not the only one.

Yeah.

I guess there was a bit of ill feeling when you left town.

Uh, he just grabbed the cup off the table.

How could the killer make sure that he took the right one?

GLENN: Maybe it is random.

Really?

Even after the victim left a message on my phone?

I'm just saying, it's possible it wasn't a targeted murder.

You think I'm wrong?

I would never say that.

Mmm.

'Cause you're scared. I'm not scared.

No, you look scared.

OK. Mmm.

Shall we bet on it, then?

Ooh! Don't lose your head.

(LAUGHS)

Same stakes as always?

Takeaway from Franco's fish and chips?

Yeah, you're on.

Let me know when tox is in.

I will hand-deliver it myself

AND claim my winnings.

Ooh! Good luck with that.

GLENN: Frankie!

(DOG PANTS AND BARKS)

I mean, I guess she wants to go with you.

She can stay at your house for the night, if that's OK.

It's fine with me.

It's fine with me, then. (DOOR OPENS)

DAISY: Hello? (DOOR CLOSES)

In here. Oh. Hey, Mac.

Heya. Mwah!

I got us some takeaway.

Yeah, Mac is, uh, taking Frankie.

Just for the night.

OK. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

I...I should let...uh, leave... let you guys...

Yeah. See ya, Mac.

Bye.

GLENN: Best behaviour, Frankie.

(SIGHS) (DOG BARKS)

(SIGHS)

Come on.

(SIGHS)

Frankie!

You could have told me.

(DOG WHINES)

JADE: (ON VIDEO) Amazing news, Jadies.

I'm officially in remission

and so fortunate to have gotten here without conventional medicine.

It just goes to show that with determination and support,

you can achieve anything.

I believe in you guys.

This account, Frankie, it's called just-in-time.

pops up over and over again.

So many comments.

Who ARE you?

And why are you so obsessed with Jade?

Any thoughts?

(DOG WHINES)

Mmm.

(LAUGHTER AND INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MACKENZIE: Hey!

Ah! This is private property!

Good morning, Mackenzie.

But you can't walk through here.

Otherwise we have to go all the way around. It takes us forever.

What, an extra two minutes?

Your mum doesn't have a problem with it.

Well, I'm not my mum.

No. People like her.

(ALL LAUGH)

(SCOFFS)

Off.

Off you go.

She runs us a bath for after, if you feel so inclined.

I'm not so inclined.

Why am I not surprised?

Come on.

Come on, girls.

(SIGHS)

(DOG WHINES)

Seriously?

(DOG WHINES)

(PHONE ALERT CHIMES)

Here you go. Flat white.

Extra-weak.

And extra-hot? We've talked about this.

That's as hot as I can get it before the milk burns

and the coffee's ruined.

OK. I'm here. What do you want?

Erm...just wanted to start the day by shouting my colleague.

I know you don't like coffee,

so tea, juice - whatever you want.

Mmm.

Uh, chocolate milk. (LAUGHS)

You mean like children have?

No, that's absolutely fine.

Erm, one of those, please, Daisy. (CLEARS THROAT)

How you putting up with him?

Me?!

She's the difficult one.

Oh, my God. Found my pink bike yet?

Remember, it's missing the front wheel?

The case is still open. DAISY: Oh!

I have been walking everywhere.

You should see my blisters.

OK.

You're winding me up. Brilliant.

(LAUGHS)

There you go.

Thanks.

Mmm.

Glenn's an idiot. He should have said something.

I...I...I never would have... No, it's OK.

No, no, no, it's...it's not OK.

Common courtesy, in my opinion.

If it helps, I cracked it at him after you left.

Yeah - that...

..that helps quite a lot, actually.

Look, before we, erm...

..last night,

you may have heard me speaking a little bit out of turn.

Sorry is what I'm saying.

(SLURPS)

It wasn't appropriate...

..or professional.

And I am both those things generally.

I want us to have a good relationship...

(PHONE RINGS) ..as partners.

Work together. That sort of thing. You know.

A team. (PHONE RINGS)

Felix?

FELIX: I've found something interesting in Curtis's messages.

Go on.

FELIX: Pretty heated exchange with Nick Dosanjh, the manager.

MACKENZIE: Alright. Send it through.

Colin, come on!

Ow!

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(INHALES)

Ooh.

The deal a bit shaky?

What?

Well, my Mandarin's a bit rusty, but it sounded like

"Don't worry. Everything's on track."

And it is.

On track. With Curtis out of the way anyway.

What?

"I won't sign off on this deal until we have a proper conversation."

(SIGHS)

Curtis sent you that message about two weeks ago.

Conversation about what?

I never found out.

All that time

and you never asked?

Well, he didn't bring it up again,

so I figured it was just a case of the jitters.

Pretty normal when it's such a big deal.

It would have been fine. What WOULD that have cost you?

(LAUGHS)

Your commission on 40 million?

I don't do it for the money.

How much?

10%, plus a bonus.

You must have been angry.

Angry? (SCOFFS) No.

I...

Curtis just wanted to be across everything.

Um...they're both like that.

I mean...look at this.

Supplement ingredients, all supplied locally

because they want to be in control of their supply chain.

Costs more, but that's just the type of people they are.

I've been working with them since Jade was selling her juices

on a market stall.

They both just care about the details.

And now the sale's back on track?

We're going to Singapore soon for the launch.

Your movements during the, uh, fun run,

you filmed Curtis and Jade's reel at the start line

and then you took another of them at the halfway point.

Mm-hm. At the drink station.

Jade recced it the morning of the run

and thought it had the best framing.

Do you know what this is?

Looks like a phone number?

(PHONE RINGS) I don't recognise it.

(SIGHS) (PHONE BEEPS)

Mate. I've been on the phone with them all morning.

(RECORDED MESSAGE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

FELIX: Another recorded message.

Belarus. Not connected.

Oh. Right.

Is this it?

Is what it? This!

Police life.

Dialling random numbers all day.

Picking up cups.

Like a glorified streetsweeper.

Not even. They'd have a better uniform.

Well, one of those cups was a vital clue.

Yeah, but we should be out on the beat with the people.

You know, wearing out a bit of shoe leather.

Community policing - that's what I volunteered for.

You volunteered to help the police.

And we're helping Mac by calling... Mmm.

..that number in all these countries to see if we can work out what it is.

And sometimes police work is dull and repetitive.

That doesn't mean it's not important.

I...I just feel like I have more to offer.

Fine. You take Zimbabwe and work backwards.

Phone? That's...it's really not my thing.

Really? Yeah.

Because I've heard you calling in on the local radio more than once

to give your thoughts on councillors.

Much of it borderline defamatory.

It is all true, Felix.

Ms Rocco,

you can go home if you want to.

It's up to you.

Alright.

I'll go and ring Zimbabwe, then.

(DOG BARKS AND PANTS)

Hello, Frankie.

(SIGHS)

She behave herself?

Fine.

What did you find in the autopsy?

No signs of heart disease

or anything that would naturally induce a heart attack.

OK, so that confirms the theory

that whatever he drank from that cup caused it.

Are we still waiting on blood tox?

GLENN: I did warn you it'd take a while.

But given that a substance was found in one of the cups,

and as much as I hate to admit it,

I think it's safe to say he was poisoned.

MACKENZIE: Yeah, but how did the killer poison just one cup

and make sure Curtis drank from it?

One more thing.

There was a bruise under Curtis's eye.

I didn't see it. You wouldn't.

It was at least a week old and concealed by make-up.

What are you doing?

Left eye.

Keith Cole had a cut on his right hand.

What happened to your hand?

Caught it in the boat rack.

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh! Mac, before you go...

Glad to see it's not just me she walks out on.

(LAUGHS)

I mean rooms.

Walks out of rooms. Not weddings.

Well, that's also true, but not something we need to

discuss, or even comment on really.

(LAUGHS)

Don't worry about it.

MACKENZIE: Right - we've got a poisoned cup,

a punch to the face, a $40 million deal

and a random international phone number

which Felix is still trying to track down.

(GROANS) That's not much to go on.

You are joking.

I keep a couple in the fridge. They really are brilliant.

REGGIE: Well, it looks like a shakedown to me.

COLIN: Uh, no.

They contain omega-3 and turmeric, to reduce inflammation,

and activated charcoal, which absorbs...

Mmm. ..toxins in the body.

It's brilliant stuff. (LAUGHS)

(COUGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT) Sure, you know,

the, uh, taste is a little...robust,

but that's the sacrifice you make for...

..top performance.

Do you want a... No, thanks.

COLIN: Mmm.

OK. So poison, check. Mm-hm.

How...

..you don't know.

Have you got anything else? Yes.

I'm going to talk to Keith Cole about the cut on his hand,

and I spent the night on Jade's very active social media account.

Oh, these people, living their lives online. It's a sickness.

Actually, Jade did a full digital detox earlier this year.

Oh, what, she left her phone in the car for 20 minutes?

No. Took a couple of months off.

Went to Thailand. No phone. No anything.

So how did you know about it?

Well...

..she...she posted about it online when she got back, obviously.

The resort looked fantastic. (LAUGHS)

Oh, uh, yes. Hello?

Um...hi.

My name is, uh, Constable Felix Wilkinson.

I'm a police officer in Dolphin Cove, uh, Australia.

I'm investigating...

Sorry. Do you know the name Curtis Faleafa?

Oh, yes.

I DO wear trousers, most days, thank you for asking,

but I just need you...

(LAUGHS)

Drycleaner in Gabon.

They've got a two-for-one going on trousers.

I don't think he's heard of a Curtis Faleafa.

OK, anyway.

There was one account that kept popping up,

liking, responding to every single one of Jade's posts.

Who? Hm.

Username was...

..just-in-time.

Now, the profile picture looked familiar,

but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I did some research.

Figured it out.

PHILOMENA: Oh. Is that, um...?

Yeah. Justine Cole. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cole, as in...? Yeah, Keith Cole's daughter.

Hm. I didn't recognise her at first.

Let's go talk to her.

Uh, she...she passed away.

About six months ago. PHILOMENA: Mmm.

Mr Cole? Can you talk us through how you injured your hand, again?

Uh...

..told you, it's on the...

..boat rack.

Not from punching Curtis Faleafa?

He had a bruise under his left eye, so...

..you saying your hand, that's just a coincidence?

OK.

Curtis and I fought. Yeah?

Fine.

About Justine?

I don't want to talk about her.

But she is part of this, Keith, isn't she?

Justine was a Jadie.

She liked every photo, commented on every post,

and then six months ago, it stops.

When she died.

She was obsessed with the supplements, the exercise...

..everything.

She was...

..studying, living in the city.

We didn't get to see her that often.

So we didn't know...

..we...

..we didn't know how sick she was.

And she was so devoted to Jade, she didn't go and see a doctor, so...

..she thought she could fix herself,

diet or...

..or whatever.

By the time we found out, it was...

..it was too late. (SOBS)

Jade...

..killed my daughter.

There's... there's no doubt in my mind!

So when you found out they were selling the company

for 40 million...?

I just thought it'd get... (SNIFFS)

..bigger and...and...

..and bigger and, uh,

more people would get sucked in,

just like Justine, so...

..I...I had to...

..talk to Curtis, I had to get him to do something.

You're a parasite! (GROANS)

"..or more people are going to die."

Exactly. COLIN: But he DIDN'T do anything.

That would have made you angry.

I'm always angry.

I'll never stop being angry.

You put the poisoned cup down on the table, the cup that killed him.

I didn't know it was poisoned!

I...I...I was just filling them up and putting them out

as fast as I could!

You know, look, I had nothing to do with this, I swear!

I was angry at Curtis, at both of them.

I admit that.

But I would never...

..kill anyone.

"..or more people are going to die."

That's what Curtis was getting at.

If the sale goes through, more people will die.

But the sale IS going through.

Exactly.

And if you blamed Jade for the death of your daughter,

if you wanted to stop Jade's company being sold globally,

why not kill HER?

Maybe he meant to.

Then why not hand her the cup?

(SIGHS) Maybe he tried.

Jade lied to us.

She said no-one had any sort of grudge against...

MAN: Coming right up!

COLIN: Against Curtis.

Yep. COLIN: I know.

We should talk to her about that.

Mackenzie?

Well, let's go, then.

(SIGHS)

MACKENZIE: Why did you lie to us?

Excuse me?

MACKENZIE: We asked you if anyone wanted to harm Curtis,

had a grudge against him.

You said...no.

So?

So, you forget to mention

that Keith Cole punched him in the face right outside?

Sorry, I had no idea.

Curtis said an exercise band caught him in the eye.

Did you know what he and Curtis fell out about?

I assume Justine.

Keith has always believed, incorrectly,

that we played a part in...

..her death.

Well, you did tell the world that your supplements cured you,

which she believed.

I never said anything about my supplements curing me.

Oh, I watched the reel, Jade.

I have my story, and I'm very honest about it.

But the Jade brand is about each of us taking charge of our own bodies.

I had no control over what Justine did.

You didn't mind the boost in views she gave your page, though?

I had to block her in the end.

And if I'm honest, she was obsessed with me.

We're going to have some more questions.

Well...

..I'm flying out to Singapore tomorrow for the launch.

I'm sorry, but that can't be rearranged.

Oh, one more thing.

Do you know what this number could be?

I don't know. Maybe a bank account. Who knows?

(DOOR OPENS)

What are you thinking we'll get from this number?

Is it relevant?

Everything's relevant.

Jade McCready.

(LAUGHS) No, not a renewal. She's never had one.

(INHALES)

Yep.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Looked like a new supplement in there...

..that Jade was drinking.

Maybe she was trialling it. (LAUGHS)

OK.

OK.

876591.

8765912489. (DOOR OPENS)

87...87...

87659...

(DOOR CLOSES) GLENN: Hello?

(SIGHS) "..or more people are going to die."

Yeah?

I have called in a lot of favours to get this tonight.

Blood tox?

I'm sending a bottle of wine to their lab.

You're paying. Uh-huh.

What's in it?

Nicotine?! In liquid form.

In enough quantity, it can induce a heart attack.

Nick. The manager.

Every time I've seen him, he's been vaping.

He was at the drink station. We know that.

But how could he poison one cup and make sure Curtis took it?

It's the same question every time!

When...when was the last time you ate?

I... Um...

I don't know.

I... No. I didn't have milk, so couldn't have breakfast.

(SIGHS) That was yesterday.

Was it?

Mackenzie, for someone so smart, how do you not understand

that you need food to live?

Wait! I eat food.

Tournament of Minds, Brisbane, 2003?

Three days. Not a cracker. (LAUGHS)

(GASPS)

I'll, uh, see what's in the fridge. Uh-huh.

I was fine, by the way, at Tournament of Minds.

You were hallucinating quadratic equations on the ceiling.

Which I solved, I might add.

Jade Restore.

It's all there was.

You snooze, you lose, Col.

Mmm.

Finders keepers?

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

Mmm!

Mmm! Mmm!

What? (LAUGHS)

No good?

(LAUGHS)

Oh... Oh!

What is in this?!

(GAGS)

Mac?

(GASPS)

GLENN: Mac? You OK?

Mac? (GASPS)

Do you have anywhere you need to be?

Why?

We've got some phone calls to make.

RECORDING: Hi. Mackenzie. It's...it's Curtis Faleafa.

I know we've never really spoken, but...

..I need your help...

..or more people are gonna die.

"..or more people are going to die."

Curtis left that message on my phone

bit over an hour before he WAS one of those people...

..poisoned,

seemingly by a cup that he picked up at the drink station

that was staffed by Keith Cole.

There was one question that we couldn't answer.

How could the killer make sure that Curtis took the poisoned cup?

Then we learned that the poison was nicotine.

(LAUGHS) What?

MACKENZIE: Well...

..you had access to liquid nicotine.

It's vape fluid. (NICK SCOFFS)

MACKENZIE: You stood to lose your 10% cut

if Curtis killed the deal - it's $4 million.

And you were at the drink station filming.

Jade, give us a wave.

Hey. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Go, Jadies!

(SCOFFS) I didn't touch the cups.

(SNAPS FINGERS)

The killer wanted us looking at the cups.

They wanted us spending all our time, all our energy

trying to figure out how the killer could make sure

that Curtis drank from the poisoned cup.

But the cup wasn't the murder weapon.

(GLOVE STRETCHES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CLEARS THROAT)

One of these was.

You handed him a drink from one of those on the start line...

..Jade.

But I drank from that.

And who would suspect someone who drank

the exact same thing as the victim?

Surely if the nicotine was in the bottle,

then you would have been poisoned as well. (LAUGHS)

And you were.

(SCOFFS) I'm fine.

Because...

..the poison isn't the only thing you drank.

You made sure you had one of your Jade supplements before the race,

and then you kept drinking them for 24 hours.

Every time we saw you, you were drinking one.

Of course. They support my recovery.

Especially those that you've been... mixing up yourself.

Detective Senior Constable Cartwright noticed

that they were a slightly different colour.

Looked like a new supplement in there.

Loaded with...?

Activated charcoal.

It contains omega-3 and turmeric,

which reduces inflammation,

and, uh, activated charcoal.

Which...absorbs toxin.

Including nicotine.

Especially if you drink enough of it, and, boy, did you.

I mean...you had a ready supply.

You...you are across every step of your supply chain.

And you kept up a steady intake.

And you planted a poisoned decoy cup before the race

while you were looking for a location

for Nick to film from, to throw us off.

Why would I kill Curtis?

I loved him.

He was about to reveal your secret.

Supplements didn't cure your cancer.

You had surgery and chemotherapy, Jade.

What?

MACKENZIE: But you knew, gosh, if that got out,

well, your company, it would be worthless, so you kept it a secret,

even from Curtis, but news of the deal leaked...

..which sent Keith to Curtis,

desperate for no more people to be harmed.

And that sent Curtis to you.

This whole life is fake!

And that sent Curtis on his own research,

which led him to...

..this number.

Now...

..we all thought it was a phone number, didn't we?

Hm. Because, you know, well, looks like one.

The only person who saw this number and didn't say a phone number

was you.

I don't know. Maybe a bank account. Who knows?

Because you knew it wasn't a phone number. You knew it was a patient ID.

Now, we had to call almost every treatment facility in Australia,

but we got there in the end.

The Green Grass Institute...

..for Cancer.

This is ridiculous.

You think I could just disappear and keep something like this a secret?

My whole life is spent online.

Oh. What about your digital detox?

I was in Thailand.

You didn't have a passport.

Jade McCready.

No, not a renewal. She's never had one.

(INHALES)

I checked.

You really think I could have kept a surgery, and chemo, from Curtis?

(LAUGHS) From everyone?

You had to, because no-one believed in Jade...

..more than him.

And chemotherapy, it's the only thing that fits,

right down to you being able to drink those,

uh, ugh, incredibly strong-tasting supplements.

(COUGHS)

Mmm!

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Chemotherapy, it killed your sense of taste, Jade.

A warrant for the details of this patient,

it came through this morning.

FELIX: I've got the file...

..right here.

What's the name of that patient, Felix?

I never meant to lie.

I promise.

The supplements really did help at the start.

I...I...I was improving.

My follows went through the roof. I had so much support!

It was just like when I was sick at school.

And then I went downhill.

But by then, the sales started happening,

and I...I had to get better.

I had to! So many people were relying on me.

I just... I couldn't let anyone stop it.

Not even Curtis?

Oh!

(SIGHS)

Look, I really did love him.

Jade McCready, you are under arrest for the murder of Curtis Faleafa.

(HANDCUFFS CLICK)

You're not obligated to say or do anything unless you wish to do so.

(BIRDS SCREECH)

Activated charcoal. Has to be said. Incredible stuff.

No more cramps.

And I went hard this morning.

God, you are still drinking those things!

They're still good.

PHILOMENA: Mackenzie?

Want to walk out with me?

REGGIE: There it is.

FELIX: Can you stop leaving your water bottle on my desk...

REGGIE: What?! ..please?

(BOTH LAUGH)

That was good work.

With the phone numbers.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Well, I mean, it was 150 dead ends.

Wasn't it a bit of a waste of time?

MACKENZIE: No.

Knowing it wasn't a phone number got us thinking about

what else it could be.

That's...

..solid police work.

It made the case.

I made the case!

(LAUGHS) WE.

Oh, she seemed more definitive when she was talking to me.

It...was me.

I made the case.

PHILOMENA: You're a very good detective, Mackenzie.

I mean, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

I mean, you know as well as anyone that your brain...

..it just...

..works differently.

And that makes you very good at your job.

But you're not the only one.

Right, I'm very proud of the team that I've got here.

They're...they're smart. They...they work hard.

They look after each other.

Just don't be a pain, Mackenzie.

(SIGHS)

When you, um...

..left my son,

you left a mess.

But you also walked out on this station.

You walked out on me.

And you're a long way from making up for that. Do you understand me?

I do.

COLIN: Why shouldn't I drink them? REGGIE: Why?!

(LAUGHS) Why? (DOOR CLOSES)

Because she's a murderer, mate.

So stop buying her stuff. I'm off.

Ah!

See you all in the morning. See ya.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Up to much tonight?

Every time.

Seriously. Just walks off.

Not a word.

Come on.

Where?

I am shouting you a smoothie.

Why?

It's a thing people do when they work together.

I'm doing something nice here, Colin. It's a 1-time offer.

Take it.

Alright, then.

MACKENZIE: Take your pick. Any smoothie you want.

Uh, Very Berry, please.

Good choice.

Doesn't look like much.

Trust me.

You're not staying? Not really a smoothie person.

Very Berry, coming up.

Pink bike. (WHIRRING)

Missing front wheel.

(WHIRRING)

(BELL RINGS)

(SIGHS)

To the victor the spoils.

That was the bet, wasn't it?

Yeah. Direct from Franco's fish and chips.

Oh.

You can have it.

Oh, it's fresh out of the oil.

Which, if I'm honest, maybe hasn't been changed

since you were last here.

Still.

You could have told me about Daisy, you know.

I know.

She's brilliant. She is perfect for you.

Yeah. Yeah, she is.

We always worked better as friends anyway.

Did we?

Yeah. Yep.

Mm-hm.

Much clearer that way.

We work together. Get along fine.

Happy days.

(SIGHS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

Enjoy that.

See you tomorrow.

Mmm.

# She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes

# She'll be wearing pink pyjamas

# She'll be wearing pink pyjamas

# When she comes

# She'll be wearing pink pyjamas

# When she comes

# She'll be wearing pink pyjamas

# She'll be wearing pink... #

(SCREAMS)

Ah! Ah! (COUGHS)

That's cold!

It's gonna give me a heart attack!

Mackenzie! (SHOUTS)

Good morning, ladies!

People are killed by those closest to them.

Happy birthday, bestie!

GLENN: Looks like strangulation.

None of them were anywhere near the salon at the time of the murder.

MACKENZIE: So if the killer was in full view,

how did they do it?

You either work here or you don't.

HR, they want an answer in the next couple of days.

YOU walked out on ME, Mac.

Of course I was gonna move on.

Please let me talk.

Wait.

What was Troy throwing away? (SHUTTER CLICKS)

Mackenzie! (SCREAMS)
