00:01Look at that, hon. I actually fixed it.
00:06Only took me five weeks.
00:21Come on, lightweights.
00:24A toast.
00:27It's Tombo.
00:29To Tombo?
00:30Yep, Tombo.
00:31To Tombo! To Tombo!
00:32Pathetic.
00:33He'd be partying with me, not like you losers.
00:35There's a guy drinking blue curacao like it's 2001.
00:382001?
00:39Yeah, back when Devlin still thought he was going to make the All Blacks.
00:42Come on, boys!
00:43This weekend's meant to be like the old days.
00:45Like all those summers here, just rinsing it until sunrise.
00:48Mmm!
00:49Waste of good sleeping in time, bro.
00:51Ah, Jesus, don't start talking about your kids again, Devlin.
00:53It's boring.
00:54No, that would be the 40-year-old sad guy who peaked in high school.
00:57Look, another toast.
00:58Right?
00:59Good Tombo.
01:00Picked at high school.
01:03They said I'd go there for my girlfriends.
01:07Ross, why'd you bring her on a boys trip?
01:11Couldn't find a babysitter?
01:12Come on.
01:13Mitchell.
01:14Hey.
01:15Go on, Devlin.
01:16What is it you see in her?
01:18Where's your lady, Mitch?
01:20Oh, that's right.
01:21She left you.
01:22Can't think of why.
01:23You want to say that again?
01:25Dicky.
01:26Come on, guys.
01:27Mitch.
01:28Shit head then.
01:29Shit head now.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Hello?
01:32Hmm.
01:33Hi.
01:34Hi.
01:35Room two.
01:36I knew I was going to take a look at your sink.
01:37Yeah, you might want to sort what's happening out there first.
01:44I'll get your ass in here 12.
01:45Get in my ass bullshit.
01:46Yeah.
01:47And I'll do it again.
01:48Try it.
01:49Come on, guys.
01:50Try it.
01:51Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:52Easy, easy, easy.
01:53Good?
01:54Ah, ah, ah.
01:55Ben.
01:56Take your hands off me.
01:57Sorry.
01:58This is bullshit.
02:05What are you looking at?
02:06Okay.
02:11I'm, I'm so sorry.
02:13You know what?
02:14There's a great fish and chip shop down by the beach.
02:15Let's just call it a night, eh?
02:17We lost a friend a year ago today.
02:20We thought it would be a good idea to, you know, gather.
02:24It's okay, babe.
02:25Emotions are running high.
02:27We can sort this out.
02:28You go.
02:29Yeah, look, my blocks sink.
02:32They can wait.
02:36Right.
02:37How do we feel?
02:38I've been.
02:39Yep, don't manhandle the guests.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Yep.
02:42That'd be good.
02:43Mm-hmm.
02:44Never underestimate the stupidity of your average motel guest.
02:57Although we have been having problems with the plumbing since we got here.
03:12Yeah.
03:13The old owner's never kept on top of things.
03:18Hello.
03:19Housekeeping.
03:20Pretty sure he's not in there, Cole.
03:21You would have noticed the flooding.
03:22Still polite to knock, Vinnie.
03:24Yep.
03:25He's gone out and left the taps on.
03:40Told you.
03:41Stupid.
03:42It's payback for me putting him on the ground.
03:44There was a situation I was trying to de-escalate.
03:47Anyway.
03:53Oh, shit.
04:02Come on, Mitchell.
04:03You've got to be kidding me.
04:04You know there's a reason people drift apart after high school, eh?
04:05Ross?
04:06Shall we go?
04:07You know.
04:08You've got to be kidding.
04:09You know there's a reason people drift apart after high school, eh?
04:12To pull apart after high school, eh?
04:13Ross?
04:14Shall we go?
04:17Oh.
04:18Yotta.
04:19Constable Jamie Hyder.
04:20See you around town.
04:21Pete Coleman.
04:22Cole.
04:23Oh.
04:30Kia ora.
04:32Constable Jamie Hyder.
04:34Senior around town.
04:36Pete Coleman, Cole.
04:37My wife, Vinnie.
04:38Hello.
04:40Oh, sir for sir.
04:42Sometimes you can't say no.
04:44Unit, uh, three.
04:46Oh.
04:53Sure he knows what he's doing.
05:00So we've, um, turned off the tabs but otherwise kept the scene secure.
05:06Was that a police protocol handbook?
05:08Yeah, yeah it was.
05:10So, uh, accidental drowning.
05:13Do you want me to talk to the friends, get next to Ken while you wait for the paramedics?
05:17It's a bit like paramedics.
05:19Not to do the VOD?
05:23Oh, right.
05:26You sound like you know what you're talking about.
05:28Oh, yeah.
05:29Police background.
05:30Retired now.
05:32I actually haven't done the VOD yet.
05:34Ah, must be pretty quiet around here.
05:36Yeah, yeah it is.
05:37And also I've only been here since October.
05:39Oh yeah?
05:40Where were you before?
05:41Police college.
05:43Yeah, this is, this is quite a new gig for me.
05:45So, sorry I'm smiling.
05:47I'm shitting myself.
05:49Do you want me to do the VOD?
05:52Oh, but that'd be amazing.
05:55I'll talk to the friends.
05:56Okay.
05:57Hey, I appreciate it.
05:58Uh...
05:59Oh, Vanessa.
06:00Vinny.
06:01Vinny.
06:02Uh, you won't.
06:04I mean, he was asked, yeah.
06:05But...
06:06How can we have lost another mate?
06:07A year ago to the day since Tomo...
06:09I mean, he was asked, yeah, but...
06:17How can we have lost another mate?
06:20A year ago to the day since Tomo.
06:22Remember how you said not to ship the CDs because we'd never used them?
06:40Kabumba.
06:50Benny?
06:52Unit three, I just...
06:56I don't think it was an accident.
06:58No, you don't.
06:59Come on, you were wondering too.
07:01He was fully clothed.
07:02Benny, no.
07:04One idiot, too much drink, sad, dumb accident.
07:09Come here.
07:16Fresh start, remember?
07:19Yeah.
07:20Okay.
07:20People die all the time, not a waste matter.
07:24My darling, if only you knew I'm missing you, wanting to be kissing you.
07:40Well, I'm here to talk to the friends, ask them to stick around.
07:51There's been a development.
07:53Look what?
07:54You didn't use them from forensics?
07:55Oh, it might be confidential.
07:59Oh, it's fine.
08:00We're not civilians.
08:01We are 100% civilians.
08:03Prelim autopsy results.
08:05Something's showing up.
08:06Nothing.
08:06As in no water.
08:07As in no water on the lungs.
08:09He didn't drown.
08:10Told you.
08:11This is the bit where I call them the big guns, right?
08:14The real police.
08:15You're not the real police.
08:16Well, I'm going to do the preliminary statements.
08:18And shout out if you need anything.
08:20I'm sure Constable Hyder doesn't need us.
08:21No, but if he wanted to.
08:22He doesn't.
08:23He might.
08:23He doesn't.
08:26Thanks for the coffee.
08:26It just feels wrong.
08:34We're sitting here doing nothing.
08:35We are running our new motel.
08:38I'm staying in LA.
08:40Okay, fine.
08:46What do you mean, don't leave town?
08:48I just need to take a few more statements.
08:49Now, I've got to get home to my daughters.
08:52And this is stupid.
08:53No one actually killed Mitchell.
08:54Well, I don't think that's what the police officer is saying.
08:57Oh, it is.
08:59You are saying that.
09:00This situation is just not as straightforward as we first thought.
09:03No.
09:09So do we postpone rock and roll, Mike?
09:12I suppose so.
09:15Well done?
09:16Yeah.
09:17They're not stoked.
09:19They did like I'd accused them of something.
09:21All of them did?
09:22Or anyone in particular?
09:23Vinny.
09:24Look, they'll be okay.
09:37Oh, for fuck.
09:39Custis, what are you doing?
09:40Go.
09:41He might just be going to the shop or something.
09:46He's not going to the shop, is he?
09:47Call another unit getting blocked off before he can leave town.
09:49We don't have another unit.
09:51I'm not.
09:57Take it easy.
09:58No.
10:09No, no.
10:09You go ahead.
10:10You want to step out of the vehicle?
10:34I was going to pay the bill online.
10:36I was.
10:37Not about that.
10:38Taking off when you hear there's a police investigation?
10:41It's not a great look, mate.
10:42Yeah, I'm just, um, I need to get home to my kids.
10:45Full-time dad, huh?
10:48Yeah.
10:49Didn't Mitch love giving me shit about it?
10:52Which is fine.
10:54Uh, we're old mates, hey?
10:55Did Mitch give everyone shit, or are you special?
10:58Why are you so interested?
11:00I can't help myself.
11:02Cole and I were ex-police, New South Wales Homicide Division.
11:06Uh, uh, well, um, Ross was the main punching bag.
11:11Mitchell used to call him Povo Ross, because he was at our school on scholarship.
11:15And now he's more successful than all of us.
11:18After you and Mitchell fought last night, you didn't see him again?
11:21No, uh, I, I went to my room, uh, I called home.
11:26My wife was having trouble getting the girls to sleep, so, um, we Zoomed, and, uh, I sung
11:31them lullaby so they drifted off.
11:33Shit, do you really think that someone killed Mitchell?
11:38Oh, I don't think he got drunk and fell into a spa bar, let's put it that way.
11:42Yeah, me neither.
11:44Last year, the wife and I got a hot tub, right?
11:46And Mitchell said he couldn't think of anything worse.
11:49Sitting in a whole order, he hates it.
11:51He wouldn't get into the motel spa yesterday.
11:54Why would he go back to his room and have one?
11:59Oh, no.
12:00Am I going to be arrested?
12:01No.
12:03So, Devlin's going to send Jamie evidence of his Zoom call last night.
12:12Good, and we're going to stay out of it.
12:15Hey, where are those little packets of long-life milk?
12:17But, looking at the group as a whole, where's the odd one out?
12:22The girlfriend, Shayla.
12:24Like the Blumby song?
12:26Yeah, I said that to her, babe, when they checked in, and nothing, just total blank.
12:29Well, just because she has no musical knowledge doesn't make her a murderer.
12:34Now, you want to, uh, find an end?
12:36Oh, I can't.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Little packets of milk calling my name.
12:39The one, where she's coming, she's coming in.
12:45She's going to be barred.
12:47She's going to be barred.
12:49She's going to be barred.
12:50She's been barred.
12:52She was in history, she's just a number
13:01One day, she gets her final pay
13:08And she goes far away
13:22Oh, sorry.
13:35Oh, hey.
13:39Doing my online stalking.
13:41Oh, right.
13:42Ex-girlfriends, potentials, you gotta know who you're dealing with.
13:45I have a no vegans policy.
13:47Hey, Saffron, could you...
13:52Could you look into someone for me?
13:54Yeah. Ex-boyfriend, is it?
13:56Oh, no. No.
14:11So, this Mitchell guy follows Shayla, but she doesn't follow him back.
14:14He's liked heaps on her grid.
14:17We're back to 2022, which means he's scrolled back.
14:20Ew.
14:21Devlin said Shayla and Ross have only been together three months.
14:25Yeah, that lines up. He starts showing up on her feet around then.
14:28Okay, so Mitchell likes his mate's girlfriend. Did that get him killed?
14:32Almost got me killed once.
14:34Enough said.
14:37Well, unexpected.
14:39I wondered what Shayla does for a job because her posts are straight up flexing and she never seems to work.
14:45So, I was thinking sugar baby.
14:47But I just did a quick image search and...
14:51She's a nurse practitioner.
14:53I was just...
14:54Heres man is good.
14:55I was just doing something for a job, but she just didn't...
14:56There is no issue you could have ever been.
14:59Like I said, why don't you...
15:01Who'd have been entertaining while I was out?
15:18Actually, this glass is evidence.
15:25Okay, I took a quick look at the crime scene.
15:28Oh, that's naughty, Cole. Not waiting till homicide turns up.
15:32Well, they're taking their sweet time.
15:34Now Jamie can dust it for Prince to get a head start.
15:37So, someone was in the room with Mitchell that night?
15:40Yep.
15:41Anything else?
15:42Yep, what I didn't find.
15:44The bottle the dead guy was drinking from.
15:47So, whoever used this glass likely took the bottle from the room.
15:51Why?
15:52Because of the poison, I guess.
15:55Okay.
15:58Guess who I just saw at the pub having lunch and looking quite settled?
16:03Shayla.
16:17Hey, vice versa!
16:19I had aahu...
16:21Did you know?
16:22Hi!
16:23Hi!
16:25Hi!
16:56How many do you need for one weekend?
17:05I'm tired.
17:08Oh, good day.
17:11How was town?
17:12Yeah, we had a drink for Mitchell.
17:15Still can't quite get our heads around it.
17:17Understandable.
17:18Yeah.
17:18Big shock.
17:19You know what?
17:21Times like this, you need a distraction.
17:25Yeah, my wife and I, this is a few years back, we did dancing lessons, rock and roll.
17:32Yeah, it was our respite.
17:33You know, when you're working hard day and night, sometimes you just, you just forget to breathe.
17:38Yeah.
17:38You know, so twice a week we'd, um, what, we'd hit the dancing studio and just, woo-hoo-hoo, daddy.
17:45Let the world disappear.
17:46Well, I don't want to be rude, but bye.
17:49Yeah.
17:50Yeah.
17:53Vinny, Vinny, they're coming.
17:55Why didn't you stall them?
17:56I'm gonna go have a shower.
18:12That one.
18:43You climbed out the window.
18:45Yeah.
18:45You could have just said you were refreshing the towels.
18:49You make a good point.
18:54Next time I'll bring props.
18:56No next time.
18:57Can't be snooping around.
19:00You nicked the woman's makeup.
19:02She's got so much she won't even notice.
19:04I'll put it back after.
19:06If we'd installed security cameras we'd know exactly who was in Mitchell's room.
19:10Way to kill the holiday vibe.
19:12We don't need cameras Cole.
19:15Come on Shayla.
19:16I know you were in Mitchell's hotel room that night.
19:20Oh hey.
19:21We were just trying to find a match for the lipstick mark.
19:25Chaffa Dye.
19:26From the main beetroid chemist.
19:29My ex used to wear it all the time.
19:32Right well I'm pretty sure your ex didn't have a drink with Mitchell in his motel room the night he died.
19:36Yeah so I'll be old man unit too.
19:39Maxine.
19:39Spotted out on her the first second I saw her.
19:44G'day.
19:44Hello.
19:45Hey um would you mind answering a quick question?
19:48I'm a open book Mr Coleman.
19:50Did you know Mitchell Gould?
19:52No I didn't know him.
19:54Right.
19:54It's just that there are two wine glasses in every room but there were three in Mitchell's the morning after the night before.
20:01Do you um do you have both your wine glasses here Maxine?
20:03Yeah I do.
20:05And I'd like to get back to my Jojo Moyes now.
20:06I'm on holiday.
20:07She lied.
20:15Definitely.
20:16That's her wine glass.
20:18Want to know what else?
20:20Maxine's check in details.
20:21She's not from Auckland like she says.
20:24So where then?
20:25Main Beach Road.
20:27Mawai Bay.
20:28So if she lives around the corner while she's staying in the motel.
20:31Maxine?
20:39I'll go.
20:40No no I will.
20:40I can.
20:41Should we argue a bit longer and I'd absolutely sure we lose it?
20:59Hi.
21:00Um I just saw my cousin coming out of here shopping for our aunt's birthday and um I don't want to double up so can you tell me what she purchased?
21:10Wow what were you thinking of getting your aunt?
21:13Depends on what my cousin bought.
21:15While we have this lovely room spray is she a home scent person?
21:19Can you just tell me?
21:21What kind of cousin?
21:22Hmm?
21:23First cousins.
21:26Did she buy wine glasses?
21:28One?
21:28One wine glass?
21:30I will buy a room spray.
21:35Will you tell me then?
21:36I am more inclined to make conversation with paying customers.
21:39Yes.
21:41$70.
21:46My previous customer purchased one wine glass.
21:49You're welcome.
21:50Our wine glasses are a lot cheaper than the ones at the gift store just FYI.
22:02Oh yeah Andrea gets hers from the city and hikes up the prices.
22:06She's shameless.
22:07Which you know because you're a local.
22:11Yeah.
22:15Okay.
22:16Okay.
22:19I've owned a holiday home here for the last 22 years.
22:22And now that my husband's gone I've decided to live here permanently.
22:27Sorry for your loss.
22:28Oh god the prick didn't die.
22:29I just left.
22:30Anyway I have some leaks and they're getting fixed and while they're getting fixed I've
22:33decided to stay at your very lovely Mantell.
22:35Why were you in Mitchell's room the night he died?
22:41Look guys every New Year's Eve this town is filled to the brim with teenagers.
22:45They're drinking.
22:46They're partying.
22:48Years ago Mitchell was one of those teenagers.
22:50I met him late one night.
22:53He was 17 and I was a very youthful city.
22:58Three.
22:59Anyways he was stumbling on the beach.
23:01He was drunk.
23:01He was crying.
23:02He couldn't find his mate so I took him home fed him.
23:05He made a pass at me and then puked all over the patio.
23:08When his mates came to pick him up the next day he was bragging that he'd scored himself
23:12a milf.
23:13Charming.
23:14No I didn't really mind.
23:16Things weren't going great with Barry.
23:18It was a nice little ego boost.
23:20And two nights ago?
23:22Well when we saw each other he pretended not to recognise me.
23:25I mean he was even panicking.
23:27You know why?
23:29No I had an inkling.
23:31Later that night I stepped outside for a menthol and everyone's right next door.
23:40Liked you one of those?
23:42I took my drink, went to his room, had a chat.
23:45He just begged me not to let his mates know that I was the milf and the rest.
23:50He was worried about a 20 year old secret.
23:52Well you know there's alpha male types.
23:54They knew their mate the big star had crashed in the spare room and we went on the bed.
23:59Okay so you drink your wine then leave.
24:03Back to my unit to read.
24:04His bottle of blue liqueur, did you see it in his room?
24:10You must steal that from daddy's liquor cabinet did ya?
24:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:13Great, great, great.
24:14Very funny, haha.
24:15And thanks.
24:19Dad and I made me the legend I am today.
24:26Mitchell didn't deserve what happened.
24:28Sometimes these big talking blokes, they're just insecure little boys under it all.
24:33Hi.
24:38Hi.
24:39Um, one of my make-up bags has been stolen from our room.
24:42Oh.
24:43Oh, no, I'm, I think I saw one of those in lost property.
24:49Uh, how would it be in lost property?
24:50I haven't taken it anywhere.
24:53Housekeeping must have gathered it up with the towels.
24:55What kind of incompetence are you?
24:56It's okay, babe.
24:58There's no harm done.
24:59Look, I know it's not easy having to hang around.
25:01Police forensics will be back with a toxicology report any minute now.
25:06Good.
25:07Because this is insane.
25:09Oh, Sharla, um, do you mind me asking, did Mitchell ever hit on you?
25:14Sorry, I don't think that's appropriate.
25:17So that's a police angle?
25:19No, no, not police, just curious.
25:21If I murdered every 40-plus guy who grabbed my arse, there would be no-one left in Bonsonby.
25:26Mitchell grabbed your arse?
25:27I'm so over this shithole.
25:31So, Maxine knew Mitchell.
25:35But I can't find a logical motive.
25:38Anything I'm walkabout?
25:40If it was opportunistic, someone could have grabbed something from in here?
25:42Yeah, not that I can see.
25:44Or it wasn't opportunistic.
25:46Maybe there was already beef.
25:49Come on, Cole, you're in this, you want to know as much as I do.
25:54Fine, come on.
25:55Thanks for this, Jamie.
25:58Just a quick look before digital forensics do their thing.
26:02It's allowed, right?
26:04Totally.
26:04Oh, yeah, absolutely.
26:06Okay.
26:08So, no mention of Sharla and recent emails.
26:11Oh, and a week ago, Mitchell sent Ross a big file of video.
26:18No message?
26:20He's written 28.15.
26:24Looks like a recording of a live stream.
26:27A funeral.
26:29Tomo's?
26:29We've lost the clue that holds us all together.
26:35Tomo fought so hard, but he couldn't win in the end.
26:39The time code.
26:40Hmm?
26:41The message that Mitchell wrote.
26:4228.15, it's referring to.
26:44The time code.
26:45Okay.
26:50Hallbearers.
26:52Ross, Devlin.
26:54Random hold.
26:55Oh, hold the bus.
26:59Different hair, but...
27:01Shayla.
27:02So much for only meeting Ross and his mates three months ago.
27:06So, Mitchell sent this to Ross, showing him that she was at the funeral.
27:09Looks like it.
27:10Oh, hang on.
27:11There's a Tomo folder on Mitchell's desktop.
27:14Car insurance, a bunch of paperwork for Thomas Preble.
27:17Did Mitchell have power of attorney or something?
27:19Oh, Cole.
27:24Oh, shit.
27:25Someone want to share?
27:26Okay, so, about ten years ago, Cole decided to get life insurance.
27:31After a close call at work.
27:33But they turned him down.
27:34Homicide detective.
27:35Plus he drank and smoked like a chimney.
27:37Okay.
27:38Anyway, the point is, they refused to give him cover for life insurance.
27:42And yet, Tomo here got a policy, even though he was terminally ill.
27:47Hmm.
27:48So, he wasn't terminally ill when he took the policy out?
27:51Uh-uh.
27:54Okay, that's weird.
27:55Hmm.
27:56You want to know what's weirder?
27:57Look at the cell beneficiary.
28:00Ross.
28:01How?
28:02You could probably cheat the system if you had, say, a medical professional willing to lie.
28:07Oh, and Ross had one of those.
28:09His girlfriend.
28:21Fresh towels.
28:22Oh, um, one more thing.
28:25Can you tell me about the life insurance policy Ross's friend Tomo had?
28:30Sorry?
28:31You don't know about it?
28:32Why would I?
28:33I never met Tomo.
28:34Um, Tomo took out a policy, the sole beneficiary being his mate, Ross.
28:39Get out.
28:39Insurance fraud could be motive for murder if anyone found out.
28:44How dare you?
28:45And so could falsifying medical records.
28:47The cancer was advanced when he was diagnosed, and yet he's still got a life insurance policy.
28:52Well, what's going on?
28:53You okay, babe?
28:54No.
28:55She's saying that...
28:57I just need to get out of here.
28:59Get our bill ready.
29:02We're leaving.
29:03Oh, you might want to check with Constable Hyder first.
29:06You're not the only motel around here.
29:15Shailor and Ross didn't want to talk about his insurance fraud.
29:18What?
29:21What'd you got there?
29:23I thought it was time for a break.
29:26Oh, okay.
29:30Look at us, living the dream.
29:35You sure?
29:39Oh, well, I've never seen you so excited about a potential policy.
29:43Oh, you know me.
29:45If there's a question, I want to know the answer.
29:46So?
29:48Oh, well, I've never seen you.
29:54You know you didn't have to walk away.
29:59Right?
29:59If you feel like you've made the wrong decision.
30:01It was never a decision, Carl.
30:04Wherever you go, I go.
30:06And I'll come back.
30:09Not for you.
30:12You loved your career, too.
30:17Hi.
30:18I'm Vinnie Coleman.
30:19Oh.
30:19I run a motel.
30:20Oh.
30:21Yeah.
30:22And I'm not letting you go.
30:24Never again.
30:25Well, back to reality.
30:42Back to the blocked sink.
30:45If I can't fix it tomorrow, I'll call the plumber.
30:48I'm overpriced plumber.
30:49I'm probably in charge.
30:49Hey, litter bug.
30:52Vin.
30:59Get off.
31:00What are you doing?
31:02What are you trying to see, Ross?
31:03Why did you follow me down to the beach?
31:05We were here first.
31:06I was just taking a walk.
31:09Was it a liqueur bottle?
31:11You know, we are definitely leaving tomorrow.
31:13Hey.
31:14And you're lucky I don't have you charged with assault.
31:16It was Ross.
31:30Still didn't want to talk.
31:33What'd you do?
31:35Stopped him running.
31:36Well, whatever he wanted to get rid of has floated just out there past the waves.
31:42See?
31:44Was that a bit of driftwood?
31:45According to Ross, he threw nothing.
31:48Well, who's going to go get this nothing?
31:50Well, I tackled him.
31:52Stopped him running, I mean.
31:55What have I told you about physically restraining motel guests?
31:59Hold that.
32:01Go, Ross.
32:06Can you tell us what it's about?
32:09It's okay, Shay.
32:10Just some more routine questions, I'm sure.
32:12Yeah, well, can you make it quick?
32:14Because we're moving motels today.
32:15It's okay, darling.
32:17Go pack.
32:17It won't be long.
32:26Yeah, I'm still thinking I should wait.
32:28No way.
32:28You tried to dispose of the murder weapon last night.
32:31Yeah, but Detective Granger from City Homicide, she's on her way, you know...
32:33She's been on her way for days.
32:34What, is she walking from Auckland?
32:35Just see what Ross says about throwing a liqueur bottle.
32:38He's looking terrified, he might just fold.
32:44Do you want to sit in?
32:46That way if Detective Granger kicks my arse, I can blame you.
33:02Hey.
33:03Talks report came back.
33:04And?
33:05And nothing.
33:06Booze, cocaine, that's it.
33:10Maybe a medical event took him out.
33:11One of those two was in Mitchell's room the night of.
33:14One of them took the liqueur bottle, Ross tossed it in the sea, and you're concluding?
33:18I'm not concluding anything.
33:21We're detaining him until...
33:23something comes up.
33:25But excuse me, love, my sink's still not draining.
33:27Cole?
33:28Cole?
33:28Yeah, I heard.
33:30I'll pop back.
33:31He's coming.
33:31Let's go.
34:01One, I stink.
34:23Two, I clear the blockage in the pipes.
34:25Remember that time you were giving up smoking and you didn't read the directions from the patches properly and you got...
34:30Nicotine poisoning.
34:31Yeah, I remember.
34:33Felt like death.
34:38You're pretty bloody good, aren't you, Detective Coleman?
34:40I like to think so.
34:42And I'm always surprised at what people think they can flush.
34:47Oh, yeah.
34:50We are bloody good.
34:56And if you'd like to leave us a Google review...
34:58Are you joking?
35:00Here's my review.
35:02There's no minibar.
35:03And the owners are freaks.
35:05It's okay.
35:06I know it's just the nicotine withdrawals talking.
35:10You were attached to your vape from the minute you got here.
35:13But after Mitchell died, you appeared to go cold turkey.
35:16You didn't even take it to the pub with you.
35:20Because I had no refills.
35:22And the stupid ass backwards town ran out.
35:24Cole's an ex-smoker.
35:25I know how organised you have to be when you head out of town.
35:27But you were.
35:30You had four refills with you.
35:33But where did they go?
35:34Where's Ross?
35:43We want to leave.
35:44Still at the station.
35:46Ross has confessed to killing Mitchell.
35:47Really?
35:48Really?
35:50But what did he say?
35:52He made a false statement.
35:53He laced Mitchell's bottle with liquid nicotine and then dropped him on the bus.
35:56Just to make sure.
35:58And he flushed the capsules.
35:59And he just offers this up to a junior constable.
36:02He goes to all the trouble of killing a man to keep a secret and then he just caves.
36:05Ross will have to stay in custody until we can get to court next week.
36:08No, this is bullshit.
36:10You must have coerced him or asked leading questions or something.
36:13No, I actually, I don't know how to do that kind of thing yet.
36:16I'm news.
36:16We need a lawyer.
36:17His lawyer?
36:18Ross called his lawyer already.
36:21He wouldn't hurt a fly.
36:23He is the kindest, best person I've ever met.
36:26Okay, he didn't do it.
36:28He didn't.
36:29Well, she's right.
36:35Because you did it.
36:38That's right, Shayla.
36:41Mitchell had been drinking that blue crap all afternoon and you were on edge because he had something over you.
36:48What is it you see in him?
36:50You and Ross.
36:51And I'm guessing that this weekend he threatened to use it.
36:54So you went to Mitchell's room, tried to change his mind.
36:58With an oldie, but a goodie.
37:01But he wasn't making it easy for you, was he, Shayla?
37:03He knew what you were up to.
37:06So in comes the backup plan.
37:08You had a go at his drink.
37:12Encouraged him to finish it, you're a nurse.
37:14You know a high enough dose of nicotine is fatal.
37:17He was crook.
37:20Throwing up, feeling like shit.
37:21Ross deserves everything he's worked for.
37:41He was the only one who visited Tomo.
37:44Only one who came to chemo, supported him.
37:46You were Tomo's nurse, that's how you met Ross.
37:49The others didn't give a shit.
37:51And Tomo knew Ross just needed some capital.
37:54It was his idea.
37:56It was his parting gift to Ross.
37:58He was very generous.
38:00Not sure the insurance company ripped off would agree.
38:03I'll fit him money.
38:04Anything, but he wanted to take Ross down because he's spiteful and jealous.
38:10I said, please just let us get on with our lives.
38:13But he wouldn't.
38:14Constable.
38:17Did you forget about me?
38:18I've been waiting at the station.
38:21But...
38:21He said he was going for a coffee.
38:23Yeah, um...
38:25Ross...
38:26Didn't confess.
38:28Sorry?
38:29Oh, you sneaky snigs.
38:30Really?
38:32It's worth a crack.
38:34The protocol handbook doesn't say anything about bullshitting.
38:39But if it gets the job done...
38:42Well played, you two.
38:44Shay, for God's sakes, what's going on?
38:46Come on, Ross, you know what she did.
38:48That's why you tossed the bottle, because you found it, what, hidden in your room somewhere?
38:51I thought it was a bad look.
38:52I didn't think she'd actually done anything.
38:55Darling.
38:57I just hated him so much.
38:59I'm sorry.
39:00He was just never going to leave us alone.
39:03Shayla, you are under arrest for the murder of Mitchell Gould.
39:14Don't worry, darling.
39:15I'll clean my lawyer.
39:21She is a thing of beauty, isn't she?
39:37We will get our rock and roll motel warning someday.
39:41I promise.
39:42Here it is.
39:43Bye.
39:43Peter.
39:44Oh, hey.
39:45Hey, just wondering what you guys are planning to do with Unit 3.
39:48It's going to be hard to fill after the murder.
39:49Why do you ask?
39:51Well, it's just that my renovations are taking longer than expected.
39:55So, look, I'm more than happy to take the murder room off your hands at a discount.
39:59You let me know.
40:01I mean, we're a pet guest.
40:03Who can argue with that?
40:09Interrupting.
40:10It's fine, Jamie.
40:12How was the homicide detective?
40:14Ah, pretty oppressed, actually.
40:16Yeah, are you sure I can't tell her you guys helped me out?
40:20No, no, we hate attention.
40:23Ah, I almost felt like a real cop today.
40:27Jamie might lose the imposter syndrome.
40:29You are a real cop.
40:31Throw away the police protocol handbook here again.
40:33Oh, I wouldn't do that.
40:34Probably not.
40:35Okay, no.
40:37The thing is, I, um, I just got to make this one stick, you know?
40:43Well, like, when did you know you wanted to be in the police?
40:47Oh, when I was a little girl.
40:49Yeah, it was never anything else.
40:51See, I wish I felt like that about something.
40:53It's not a calling for you.
40:54But, could be, can't get pretty addictive.
40:58Anyway, thanks.
41:00Anytime.
41:01And, hey, feel free to call if you want, if anything comes up.
41:05Sure thing.
41:06Gotcha.
41:09Okay, you were right, I do miss it just a little bit.
41:13But, there's no going back, and I am in with that.
41:17Well, Constable Hider calls, and I suppose there's any problem with giving him a hand.
41:26Of course.
41:27I mean, we probably won't even hear from him again.
41:29Nah, probably not.
41:39Ooh.
41:47Let's fall in love
41:52Why shouldn't we fall in love
41:59This is all the pain of him
