00:00Actually, I think I'll stay right here. It's quite a nice view.
00:04No, this works great for my beauty therapist.
00:07You're just going to have to handle it.
00:10Hey.
00:13Sorry, a bit of a hairy situation.
00:15Well, speaking of...
00:20Margot Booth.
00:23Promising young scientist.
00:25Recipient of a prestigious research scholarship on the way to the top of her field.
00:29Six weeks ago, she died in the campus chemical science lab.
00:32What a waste. What happened?
00:34Margot was working alone on a Saturday morning and accidentally started a fire with an unattended Bunsen burner.
00:40She was getting dry ice from the storeroom at the time.
00:43Sprinklers went off. Water plus dry ice equals deadly.
00:46Margot died from asphyxiation, excessive inhalation of carbon dioxide.
00:51Well, that is really awful. That seems like an accident.
00:54Yeah, the WorkSafe investigation ruled that too.
00:56But Margot's best friend, Carrie Ann Harker, is convinced something isn't quite right.
01:01You don't usually reopen cases based on the word of a best friend.
01:05True.
01:06Margot's brilliant, apparently.
01:08How does someone like her make a mistake like that?
01:10So what do you think happened?
01:13I can't really have an opinion.
01:16Can't have an opinion.
01:18Or don't have an opinion.
01:19Margot's supervisors are Professor Duncan Lovell.
01:27And?
01:29Professor Virginia Hanna Ray.
01:31Uh-huh.
01:33Sister.
01:34No, cousin.
01:35No, second cousin.
01:37Cousin-in-law.
01:38Actually, Virginia is...
01:40my wife.
01:41No.
01:45Stop it.
01:46Since when were you married?
01:47It's a long story.
01:49Well, I have quite a lot of questions, actually, Harry.
01:51And only one or two of them wrote about the case.
01:53But let's just start with...
01:55Why are we here?
01:56Do you want me to prove that Mrs. Hanna Ray didn't do it?
01:59She definitely didn't do it.
02:00She said that.
02:02I don't know.
02:03I haven't spoken to her.
02:04Not for a few years.
02:07Access card to the chemistry building.
02:09Just take a look for me.
02:10The once-over to make sure that nothing else is going on
02:13before I send a team bowling in.
02:17Sure.
02:17Really?
02:19What a principle, Harry.
02:21And you can answer all my other questions...
02:23later.
02:34Harry has a wife?
02:36Who is she?
02:37How did they meet?
02:38And when did they meet?
02:39How long have they been married?
02:41What is she like?
02:43Can you just calm the farm so we can find out?
02:46Here.
02:47Margot Booth.
02:48Brilliant PhD student.
02:49What has this got to do with Harry's missus?
02:51Okay.
02:52Okay.
02:53Farm calms.
02:55So, one morning, Margot's working with carbon dioxide.
02:59She leaves a Bunsen burner unattended.
03:01Before you know it, whoosh.
03:03Fire, sprinklers, dry ice.
03:04A fatal combination.
03:06Poor Margot.
03:06Good morning, lab rats.
03:11I've been using gas chromatography mass spectrometry
03:14to precisely identify and quantify compounds in the sample.
03:19GCMS is amazing.
03:21It's so specific.
03:22It can identify contaminants like toxins and additives.
03:25But, right now, you might be going, Margot, what on earth are you talking about?
03:30Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
03:31I'm thinking food.
03:33I'm okay, I just ate.
03:34It's all about what we eat.
03:37Oh, right.
03:38And what we don't want to eat, like microplastics.
03:42It's gross.
03:43And in here, I have 20 everyday foods I've examined using GCMS.
03:50I mean, clearly a bright kid, right?
03:52Yeah, too bright to leave a fire unattended in a lab.
03:55Exactly.
03:56Okay, I feel that I've been very patient, Alexa.
03:58Are we at the bit about Harry's surprise wife yet?
04:01Almost.
04:02Here, Professor Virginia Henorak.
04:10Wait, she was Margot's supervisor?
04:12Yeah, one of them.
04:15You're thinking Margot wasn't alone in the lab that morning.
04:18And I'm not the only one.
04:20Come along.
04:28Oh, amazing.
04:30You absolutely look like private detectives.
04:33Well, not exactly that.
04:34I'm Madison and this is Alexa.
04:36Carrie-Anne, Margot's best friend.
04:38Please, come in.
04:45I'm so glad the police took me seriously
04:48because Margot didn't make mistakes.
04:53I mean, how could a person with such an OCD room
04:57ignore protocol she'd followed hundreds of times?
05:00Oh, this is where Margot did her science videos.
05:02That's right.
05:03I'm so stressed about her death.
05:06Stressed or sad?
05:07Sad.
05:09It was Margot who was stressed.
05:11All she did the month before she died was work, work, work.
05:14That Professor Virginia really cracked the whip.
05:16Are you saying Margot was unhappy about it?
05:19I thought she loved her work.
05:20Unless it was an act in the videos.
05:21No.
05:23She was a very genuine person.
05:25Losing her has impacted my studies so much.
05:28Thankfully, I have my creative writing as an outlet.
05:31I'm an English PhD student.
05:32Head over Gothic heels.
05:34An examination of the interplay between fashion choice
05:37and emotional despair in Gothic romantic literature,
05:391800 to 1850.
05:41Sounds very specific.
05:43Tell me more about it.
05:44And goth subcultures are born from feelings of otherness.
05:47It's all about diversity, open-mindedness, freedom of expression.
05:51Now, as much as we'd love to hear more,
05:53we've got a case to investigate.
05:54And I am so grateful.
05:57Not knowing what really happened to my best friend
05:59is so disruptive.
06:03You know?
06:04Someone is not sold on Carrie-Anne.
06:09Well, if Harry asked us to look into things
06:10just because Carrie-Anne thinks we should,
06:12then we wouldn't be looking into them.
06:14But you want to meet Mrs. Henard, eh?
06:16Can I come too?
06:18No, I'll get another job for you.
06:20Carrie-Anne reckons that the professor worked Margot too hard.
06:22I want you to find out if that was common experience.
06:25Fine.
06:25But I want every detail, okay?
06:27Every detail.
06:34I love a woman who can handle fire.
06:47Professor Henry, I'm Alexa Crow.
06:50I'm a friend of Harry's.
06:51Oh, well, that's a name from the past.
06:53Well, sort of.
06:54I mean, you do still have a surname.
06:56This is true.
06:57So what can I do for you, friend of Harry's?
07:00Well, I'm looking into the recent death of your student, Margot Booth.
07:04Harry sent you to ask about Margot.
07:06Why didn't he just pick up the phone?
07:08Uh, conflict of interest.
07:10Margot didn't follow safety procedures.
07:13We must have wondered about that.
07:14I mean, Margot was a diligent student,
07:16a star in the making, by all accounts.
07:18Which is why it's a tragedy.
07:20Where is that boy with my sushi?
07:22Is he catching the tuna himself?
07:24Oh, hello.
07:26I'm Professor Lovell, and you are?
07:28Alexa Crow, how do you do?
07:29She's a police detective, Duncan.
07:31Oh, I didn't say that.
07:32I'm just a friend of the police.
07:33Yes, apparently poor Margot's accident is no longer an accident.
07:36Oh, gosh.
07:38WorkSafe already did a thorough investigation.
07:40Yes, I'm aware of that.
07:41I mean, we had questions ourselves.
07:43Why would someone like Margot break crucial safety rules?
07:48Well, I put it down to unbridled enthusiasm.
07:51Margot threw herself into her research,
07:54which was to be admired, of course.
07:55But she could be impatient,
07:57coming in here on a Saturday morning alone.
08:00So it's as if she was on the verge of a breakthrough
08:04and could not wait for her safety buddy.
08:07A breakthrough?
08:08Well, we'll never know, will we?
08:10Look, I'm in the middle of something now,
08:12but we will help you in any way that we can.
08:15Of course we will.
08:16You just give us some notice and we're all yours.
08:18Oh.
08:19And please pass all my regards to Harry.
08:20Honey, solo today, huh?
08:31Now, Alexa's catching up with Harry's wife.
08:34Wait, his what?
08:35So you didn't know this either?
08:36No.
08:37Ugh.
08:38Uh, why weren't we invited to his wedding?
08:40No, this isn't recent.
08:42He's had a wife this whole time.
08:43Nah.
08:44Yeah.
08:44Oh, I've got to take this.
08:47Madison speaking.
08:48Thank you so much for calling back.
08:50Um, when was Professor Hanade your supervisor?
08:59I wonder how fast a dry ice cloud will grow when water is added.
09:04I'm pretty sure you can find that info online.
09:06Oh, yes, yes, I know,
09:08but I want to see how quickly things happen in the lab
09:11and why Margot didn't have time to escape.
09:13Remember all those dry ice deaths we found online,
09:16including the man who used it to store ice cream?
09:19It leaked into his kitchen and see you later.
09:21Hello, that's why I'm outside.
09:24Alexa!
09:28Oops.
09:30So the answer is real quick.
09:33You could just believe what people say
09:34rather than proving everything yourself.
09:36We'd never solve anything if we just believe what people say.
09:39So, what's the goss on the wife?
09:42What was she like?
09:43Fine.
09:45What do her former students say?
09:46That she's brilliant, but a little cold.
09:49They all really love the other supervisor, Duncan, though.
09:51He's the friendly, fun, if a bit absent-minded professor.
09:55So is that code for not very good at his job?
09:58Kilda.
09:58Oh, hey.
10:00Hello.
10:02Are we going inside?
10:04Oh, it'll be clear in about 45 minutes.
10:06We should be enough time to get the full story on your love life.
10:12Have you received the access card records from campus security?
10:15Did you email them to me?
10:17Uh-huh.
10:18So you just came around to tell Madison
10:20that you'd sent an email?
10:21Oh.
10:21Come on, Harry.
10:29You can run, but you can't hide.
10:32She wants to know why you didn't call her yourself.
10:34Because it's awkward.
10:35Ten or twelve years go by,
10:36and I just pick up the phone
10:37and ask her about a dead student.
10:40Virginia is not just some ex-girlfriend
10:42that you lost touch with.
10:44Evidently, at some point, you married her.
10:47Ahem.
10:49All right, well, she and her colleague
10:50are on the same page upon Margot accident.
10:53A colleague?
10:54Duncan Lovell?
10:55Yeah, that's professor to you.
10:57Ugh, you sound just like him.
10:59Am I detecting a sort of love triangle here?
11:01He was Jenny's supervisor, mentor, back in the day.
11:05And now they're both Margot's supervisors, or were.
11:09You want me to focus on Duncan?
11:11I can't let my opinion cloud my judgment.
11:14Gotcha.
11:15You think Duncan did it?
11:17I wanted to be Duncan.
11:20Access cards for the lab are encoded with a unique digital ID,
11:32so every entry and exit is logged.
11:34With names.
11:35It's numbers currently, but I'm working on it.
11:38Who is that?
11:39Oh, this is Professor Duncan Lovell.
11:42Quite the rock star scientist back in the day.
11:45Back when he was Virginia Hennaday's supervisor, you mean?
11:48Do you think the handsome professor swept her off her feet and away from Harry?
11:53I think that we shouldn't gossip about our friends.
11:56Boring.
11:57Hey.
12:00Make sure you know the location of safety showers, eyewash stations, fire extinguishers,
12:06and today I've got my safety buddy here, because we're dealing with carbon dioxide.
12:09Say hi, safety buddy.
12:14I'm getting teacher's pet vibes here.
12:17Which teacher are you thinking, though?
12:19Professor Hennaday or the science rock star?
12:22Why not both?
12:27Hello?
12:29I hope this is a better time to talk.
12:31I have five minutes before the Chem 303 students show up.
12:34Where were you the morning that Margot died?
12:38Gosh.
12:39That's a bit on the nose.
12:41Well, neither of us have time for me to cushion it.
12:43Fair point.
12:45I was at home when I got the call about the fire.
12:49Anyone there with you?
12:51My cat.
12:54Did you make any calls, send any emails, or receive any deliveries?
12:58I'm not sure.
12:59But what I do know is I wasn't here, watching my best student die of carbon dioxide poisoning.
13:05On the nose.
13:07So, friend of Harry's, is that all that you are?
13:12You're sure?
13:13Yes, well, we are close.
13:15What's he told you about me?
13:17Not very much.
13:18But, uh, I do get the feeling that he's not much of a fan of Professor Duncan Lovell.
13:23Oh, grow up, Harry.
13:25Sensing a story there.
13:27Not really.
13:29I won't ask.
13:31Not you, anyway.
13:32Where can I find Professor Lovell?
13:34In its happy place.
13:41G'day, Professor.
13:43Alexa.
13:44Hello again.
13:46I just wanted to have another little chat about Margot Booth, if that's okay.
13:50And you came all the way out here.
13:52Well, why not?
13:53It's beautiful.
13:55It is.
13:59Did you get out here much?
14:01A few times a week.
14:03Oh, well, lucky you can manage it.
14:05Well, it's why I have minions.
14:08Oh, you mean research students.
14:11Yes.
14:12Sorry, I shouldn't say things like that, should I?
14:14Margot was working alone at the lab that morning while I was...
14:17You were...
14:19Out here, probably.
14:21Just probably.
14:23No, definitely, because when I got back to the car, there were the messages letting me know.
14:26Were you surfing with anyone that day?
14:29Well, there's bound to be some others.
14:31No one I can call to verify if that's what you're after.
14:33It is.
14:35I tend to be in the zone.
14:37I can relate to that.
14:40Tell me about Margot.
14:42She was a very promising young lady.
14:45Reticulous attention to detail.
14:47The best work ethic I've observed in a student.
14:50It's one of the reasons she won the doctoral fellowship.
14:53Were there other applicants?
14:54Of course.
14:55Are they still around?
14:57Yes.
14:57Caleb Moore.
14:58He lost out to Margot, but we managed to find him a part-time role.
15:02So when she died, the fellowship transferred to this Caleb Moore.
15:08Look, he's been working really hard to make up for all the time we lost after the accident.
15:14Uh-huh.
15:15He didn't benefit from Margot dying, if that's what you're suggesting.
15:18Apart from receiving the prestigious fellowship he wanted.
15:22Meet Caleb Moore.
15:25Research assistant, PhD student.
15:27Oh, he's got a weekly slot on student radio, talking everyday science.
15:31He's also got Margot's fellowship.
15:33But is that a strong enough motive for murder?
15:36If you're ambitious or jealous or you just need the money.
15:40Isn't he in one of Margot's videos?
15:42Say hi, safety buddy.
15:50Oh, there's a safety buddy who wasn't very buddy-like.
15:53And Margot's loss is definitely Caleb's game.
15:58Our research could change the game for plastic pollution.
16:02Well, that sounds really exciting.
16:04It is.
16:05Especially for you, right?
16:07Now that you're the new Margot Booth, you took over a role.
16:12No longer the bridesmaid.
16:14I see what you're saying.
16:16So, for a start, I'm a scientist, not a kid's entertainer.
16:21Oh, you're referring to Margot's educational videos.
16:23The life of a PhD student in the chemistry faculty.
16:27I think they're great.
16:29Aspirational.
16:30I've got a slot in student radio.
16:32Everyday science with Caleb.
16:34All the shows are available online if you're interested.
16:37What interests me is why you mock Margot's content creation,
16:42but it's okay for you to do it.
16:44Margot was a great girl.
16:45Woman.
16:45Woman.
16:46But she ignored the buddy system and it nearly lost us all of our research.
16:50It could have been a complete disaster.
16:52Brilliant woman with a big future lost her life, Caleb.
16:56There's no good have been about it.
16:58I liked Margot.
16:59Not getting that from you.
17:01Because we are working on a project that could literally change the world.
17:05And you're chasing a silly theory about an accidental death.
17:08Well, I best leave you to it then.
17:13That security log.
17:15You turned numbers into names yet?
17:17I have, but there's no one of interest going in with Margot.
17:20Margot arrived at eight, never left.
17:23Take a look at the day before.
17:25Okay, so going all the way back to the Friday morning,
17:28our research students arrive, professors arrive, all around the same time.
17:33And when do they all leave?
17:34Virginia was out of there later that night.
17:37Duncan too.
17:38And Caleb...
17:42Let me hazard a guess.
17:44Wow.
17:45He didn't leave on Friday, did he?
17:54Hi.
17:55How did you get my address?
17:56I'm a police consultant, Caleb.
17:58And your supervisor is very keen to help me out.
18:00Wait, Virginia and Duncan know you're speaking to me.
18:02Can I come in?
18:10I already answered your questions.
18:11Oh, but I've got more.
18:13About you swiping into the lab that Friday morning,
18:15the day before Margot died,
18:17and they were swiping out.
18:18I did so.
18:19I left on Friday afternoon.
18:21Without using your card?
18:22I always use my card.
18:23You know, in case they're logging hours.
18:25Caleb,
18:27there's no record of you ever leaving that day.
18:29You think I stayed the night in the lab?
18:31And waiting for Margot to arrive the next morning.
18:33Yeah, that's exactly what I think.
18:35Oh, no.
18:37What if my card is defective?
18:41Let's say that it is.
18:44Where were you that Saturday morning?
18:46Yeah, I was right here.
18:48Alone.
18:49Do you want me to prove it?
18:50Is that what you're saying?
18:50Well, I mean, that'd be handy.
18:53Especially for you.
18:55Okay, just stay here.
18:56Don't go anywhere.
18:57I'll be right back.
19:01I'll be right back.
19:31And that's for you.
19:42My childhood dream.
19:44Never-ending supply of ice cream
19:45and kids who want to be my friend.
19:47I'm lactose intolerant.
19:49And kids are messy and emotional.
19:51I've got goals outside of ice cream.
19:54Did you know one of the fastest-selling paperbacks
19:56of all time was developed from fan fiction?
19:59I just need to finish my PhD,
20:01then land a full-time academic job.
20:02Then I can use my research hours to write
20:04and get paid for it.
20:06Did Margot ever mention her colleague, Caleb?
20:09Caleb Moore?
20:11As in, could you be more creepy?
20:13The last time I saw him,
20:14we were at this party together,
20:15he wouldn't leave her alone.
20:16Like a stalker?
20:17And then there was that phone call
20:19about two days before.
20:20Yes?
20:21I overheard her.
20:23She was upset.
20:24He was trying to take credit
20:25for her work or something.
20:26She said she was going to report him.
20:28Did she?
20:29Mm-hmm.
20:30I heard her raise her for waste.
20:31She said,
20:31this isn't fair.
20:32I'm going to report you.
20:34Morena?
20:35Alexa Crowe,
20:37would you like a muffin?
20:39Oh.
20:40One of my students made it for me.
20:42Risa?
20:43She's worried that I'm too busy to eat,
20:45but yes, probably.
20:47Not that I'm complaining.
20:48So this, uh, Caleb Moore,
20:51he's an odd one, huh?
20:52Why, are you still interested in him?
20:53Yes, very.
20:55Especially since I visited him at his house.
20:58Plus, he had an argument with Margot
20:59in the days before she died.
21:01She was going to report him for something.
21:03I don't know anything about that.
21:06Hello.
21:07Hello.
21:08Hello, Professor Lovell.
21:09Caleb, are you all right?
21:11Yes.
21:11It's very, very good.
21:13Miss Crowe.
21:13Detective Crowe, what do I call you?
21:15Alexa's fine.
21:16Can we please have a chat?
21:17Yeah, yeah, of course.
21:18Would you like me to come with you, Caleb?
21:19No, no, no, no.
21:20I'm just, um,
21:22helping Alexa to understand our safety protocols.
21:24Good man.
21:25Yeah.
21:35I'm not entirely sure why you left.
21:40I looked in your fridge.
21:42Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
21:44Why would you look in my fridge?
21:45Blood on the door.
21:47I can...
21:48There's a reason...
21:49for the treasure trove of body parts.
21:50You're making me sound like a freak.
21:53Now, Caleb,
21:54I'm not a newbie.
21:56I know those are animal parts
21:57and not human,
21:58but I also know that
21:59your kitchen has almost no cooking equipment.
22:02And even if you're dead,
22:04hearts and eyeballs
22:05don't make the best cuts.
22:07Oh, jeez.
22:10So tell me,
22:11what's the reason for the home horror fish?
22:18Here we go.
22:20Let's do it.
22:22Let's do it.
22:26There's more.
22:29You've got this, Caleb.
22:31You can do it.
22:33Yeah, I do.
22:35Yeah, I can.
22:44So what is it?
22:45Hemophobia?
22:46Omitophobia?
22:48All of the above.
22:51Vesa Vagel responds 100% at the time.
22:54I only made it through my undergrad studies
22:55with hypnotherapy.
22:57Virginia would laugh me out the door
22:58if she found out.
23:00Even Duncan.
23:00I mean, I don't think you'd be impressed.
23:02What kind of scientist
23:04can't dissect a cow's spleen
23:05to identify contamination?
23:09So what is this?
23:10Exposure therapy.
23:12What's Margot doing there?
23:13It was her suggestion.
23:15She wanted to help.
23:16You confided in her?
23:18She guessed.
23:21So do you believe me now?
23:23Believe you what?
23:24That you wouldn't do anything to hurt the woman
23:27who discovered your humiliating,
23:29career-threatening secret?
23:31Apparently you phoned Margot
23:33the Thursday before she died.
23:34She was upset.
23:35No, no, I didn't.
23:36According to Margot's best friend,
23:37you did.
23:39Something about wanting to take credit for her work.
23:41She threatened to report you.
23:43Hold on, what best friend?
23:44You mean the flatmate?
23:46Carrie-Anne thinks you were bothering Margot.
23:48Then why would she come to my place to help me?
23:50That was her idea, not mine.
23:52And Carrie-Anne is the weirdo, okay?
23:54She's scary.
23:55They weren't friends.
23:57Margot, she was obsessed with her research.
24:00Her friends were here in the science faculty.
24:02Her friends were...
24:03Me.
24:13I'm in ice cream heaven.
24:15You're still with Carrie-Anne Harker?
24:16I've been trying to get info out of her,
24:18but she's a surprisingly popular ice cream girl.
24:20Keep smiling.
24:21She was never besties with Margot.
24:23According to Caleb,
24:25she's playing up their friendship.
24:26So it's a he said, she said.
24:28Yes, it is.
24:30Carrie-Anne is a weirdo, he says.
24:32And if the guy with the freezer full of hearts says she...
24:35Sorry, what?
24:36I'm going with she said.
24:41Carrie-Anne's got dry ice here.
24:43Okay, keep calm and step away from the murder card.
24:50Alexa.
24:51Oh, Duncan, hello again.
24:53Is Caleb all right?
24:55Yeah, actually, it was quite helpful.
24:57Look, I'm just a little uncomfortable
24:59with you pressuring my students like this.
25:01It just seems a bit off.
25:02I'm not pressuring anyone.
25:03I'm just asking a few questions.
25:05Still, it's a bit confronting for them.
25:07Caleb wants to find out
25:08what really happened to Margot as much as I do.
25:12What really happened?
25:14We've lost a divine young woman,
25:15and that is hard enough
25:16without you suggesting someone wanted her gone.
25:19It's disgraceful, actually.
25:21Professor Lover was not so friendly today.
25:35Oh, here we go.
25:37Academic transcripts and records.
25:39Do not ask how I got in here.
25:41Never.
25:42Martyn's.
25:43Carrie-Anne's.
25:44She has had several extensions
25:48to her PhD deadline.
25:50The latest one, guess when?
25:52She was supposed to submit her thesis
25:54a few weeks after Margot died,
25:56but now it's not due for another six months.
25:59She applied for an extension after Margot's death?
26:01The day after.
26:02And what she officially applied for
26:04was bereavement leave.
26:05Without it, she would have had to submit
26:07by the original date,
26:08and if she didn't,
26:09she was going to be dropped
26:10from the PhD program.
26:12Now, is that enough motive for murder?
26:16When you've put that many years
26:17of your life into the projects,
26:19I'd say so.
26:20A plus for you, Madison.
26:31Looks like we can't crush the pie.
26:33Or a funeral.
26:40Welcome, all, to my reading.
26:45Thanks so much.
26:47Yeah, it's hard to miss us.
26:51As I crossed the threshold,
26:54from student to lover,
26:56I've never felt so alive,
26:59even though you were so very dead.
27:04You already taught me so much as my professor,
27:07that now, in this new role,
27:10my body shivered.
27:11And not because your body was cold,
27:15but because of the hundreds of people
27:18of the human beings.
27:20Oh, my pleasure.
27:50Thank you so much for coming to my reading.
27:57What a nice surprise.
27:58Carrie-Anne, where were you the morning
28:00that Margot died in the science lab?
28:02Why are you questioning me?
28:03Because you overstated your friendship.
28:06Perhaps to get a bereavement extension
28:08on your PhD.
28:09Which you did, in fact, do.
28:10Oh, my goddess.
28:12Getting an extension was the last thing
28:13on my mind when I heard
28:15what had happened to poor Margot.
28:16B.S.
28:17You applied the next morning.
28:18If I'm guilty, why did I go to the police?
28:21So you can apply for a further extension
28:23due to the stress of the ongoing investigation.
28:26Look, I loved Margot.
28:29What was her star sign?
28:30Sorry?
28:31What's your bestie's star sign?
28:34She gives Virgo energy.
28:36It was Virgo late December.
28:39I'll wax up.
28:41Margot was a Capricorn.
28:42So I'm going to ask you again.
28:44Where were you the morning of Margot's accident?
28:46I hosted a paranormal romance write-in.
28:49There was at least 100 attendees.
28:52I got a whole novella completed.
28:54Where was this write-in?
28:55Online.
28:56Was it recorded?
28:57No, but I can give you the novella.
29:05Childa, hide your eyes.
29:07It's pretty rassy, huh?
29:10Madison, you have to stop me reading this.
29:12This is super quick, just to say hi
29:15and a shout-out to Archimedes
29:17and another one to Mercury.
29:19That's all.
29:20Stay tuned, lab rats.
29:21Play that again.
29:23This is super quick, just to say hi
29:25and a shout-out to Archimedes
29:27and another one to Mercury.
29:29That's all.
29:30Stay tuned, lab rats.
29:33And that was that.
29:34She went in the next morning.
29:35She never came back.
29:36Eureka.
29:38What, you solved her?
29:38What am I missing?
29:39The Archimedes principal.
29:40He was in the bath one morning
29:43when he discovered this amazing theory
29:45about water and volume and measurement.
29:49But then he ran through the town
29:50shouting Eureka.
29:52You think that Margot discovered something?
29:54Whatever it was,
29:56I think it's in those notebooks.
29:58Which we can't find.
29:59Well, she went to the lab the next morning.
30:01Maybe she took them.
30:08So what we have is
30:09a swipe card situation,
30:11a phone call,
30:12and some missing notebooks.
30:13Tea and a long black.
30:15Thanks, bro.
30:16So,
30:17does your wife know about this?
30:22No?
30:23Not funny at all?
30:25They have an open relationship.
30:28Different strokes and all that?
30:31So, do you?
30:32Did you have an open relationship?
30:34No kind of relationship.
30:35Right, I get that.
30:36But why the big secret?
30:39You know,
30:39Ginny always said back then
30:40the hardest part of what she did
30:41was securing the funding.
30:44So she married young Harry for his money?
30:46I find that hard to believe.
30:47Well, you're half right.
30:49We were best mates since high school.
30:51Never any romance between us.
30:52Okay, so
30:54how did I know that you'd be
30:56a best girl mate kind of guy
30:58even in your youth?
30:59Anyway,
31:00Ginny was always focused on her study,
31:02her future career.
31:03But it was a struggle.
31:04Textbooks,
31:05course fees,
31:06rent,
31:06a decent student allowance
31:07wasn't a thing.
31:09Unless
31:10you were married.
31:12Harry,
31:13you did it.
31:14She was in need.
31:15And I knew even back then
31:16I was probably going to be
31:17a commitment foge
31:18for the rest of my life.
31:19So you married your best friend
31:20for a student allowance?
31:22I mean,
31:22I married my best friend too
31:24but
31:24I was in love with it.
31:26No,
31:26it wasn't like that for me.
31:28It would not stop me
31:28getting pissed off
31:29when Professor Duncan
31:31turned up on the scene.
31:32All of a sudden
31:33we couldn't have a conversation
31:34without his name coming up.
31:36One day
31:37I pointed out
31:38that she was always
31:39fetching coffee for him
31:40running around
31:40doing his chores.
31:42Like a minion.
31:43Ginny got defensive,
31:45we argued,
31:47and then we
31:48just never made up.
31:50A best friend breakup?
31:52Yep.
31:52That's rough.
31:54Yeah.
31:54So rough
31:55that I'm not going
31:56to tease you
31:56about marrying
31:57for a student allowance
31:58though it is illegal.
32:01That thing you said
32:02about securing funding though?
32:04Yeah,
32:04what about it?
32:05It's probably
32:06the same issue today
32:07no matter how successful
32:08you are.
32:08Where are you going
32:09with this,
32:09Alexa?
32:10Towards a motive
32:11for murder.
32:18Should I be
32:39flattered
32:39that he's talking
32:40now here?
32:41I'm just impressed
32:42that you managed
32:43to spend so much time
32:44on the ocean
32:44instead of working
32:46on that multi-million
32:47dollar research project.
32:48Work-life balance
32:49is important,
32:50Alexa.
32:50Do you mind?
32:51Sure.
32:53I suppose that
32:54eureka moment
32:55might come to you
32:56when you're
32:56catching away.
32:58Exactly.
33:00Except that you
33:01already said
33:01you get in the zone
33:02when you're surfing.
33:06What's this about?
33:07Do you have any
33:08actual questions for me?
33:10Oh, yes.
33:11Yes.
33:11It's about your minions
33:12as you call them.
33:13I've noticed
33:14that you have
33:15co-authored
33:16a lot of research
33:17papers during your
33:19career.
33:19Of course.
33:20And a lot of those
33:20are collaborations
33:21with your PhD students
33:22going all the way
33:23back to Virginia
33:24Henoray.
33:24So forgive me
33:25if I'm a little
33:26blunt, Professor
33:27Lovell.
33:27Please, please,
33:28don't stop me.
33:29But are they
33:30riding on your
33:31coattails
33:32or is it the
33:33other way around?
33:35What are you
33:36accusing me of?
33:37Well, it's
33:38obvious that
33:39you whack your
33:40name on your
33:41students'
33:42research papers
33:43and your
33:44academic output
33:45is massive.
33:46It's not uncommon.
33:47To the extent
33:47you do it.
33:49You must be so
33:49busy it's amazing
33:50that you find
33:51time to get out
33:51here.
33:52Do you have
33:52any idea at
33:53all how a
33:53faculty works?
33:54I am trying
33:55to, Professor.
33:56That's why
33:56I've come to you.
33:58If you'll
33:59excuse me.
34:05All right.
34:05Eureka.
34:17Nice work,
34:19Madison.
34:20Very nice.
34:21We might need a
34:36translator.
34:36Luckily, I know
34:37just the person.
34:40Caleb, my friend,
34:41I need your big
34:42science-y brain.
34:43But those are
34:43Margot's.
34:44Oh, well, I think
34:46they show what she
34:47was working on at
34:48the lab.
34:49Look here.
34:50Now, the dates
34:51and the columns
34:52coincide with
34:53the weekends,
34:54but there's a lot
34:54of question marks.
34:55So whatever she
34:56was trying to figure
34:57out was really
34:58challenging.
34:59Do you think
35:00you're up to the
35:00task?
35:01Of course.
35:02This might take a
35:07bit of time.
35:08Oh, it's fine.
35:09I've got something
35:10really important to
35:11do while I wait.
35:20Margot, she did
35:21it.
35:22She worked it
35:23out.
35:24Oh, Eureka,
35:25my God.
35:26She was so
35:26good.
35:28I mean, how
35:29can she suddenly
35:29just go,
35:30why not
35:30rumen?
35:31Rumen?
35:31No, the
35:32largest part
35:32of a cow's
35:32stomach.
35:33I think like
35:34a 55-gallon
35:35rubbish bin.
35:36And cattle
35:36already have
35:37these natural
35:37plant polyesters
35:38in their diet,
35:39so if you
35:39think about
35:39it, it
35:40makes sense.
35:41And hey,
35:41we're in New
35:42Zealand, we're
35:42not short of
35:42a cow, so
35:43upscaling would
35:44be so easy.
35:48What's the
35:48matter?
35:50She never
35:51got to do
35:51anything about
35:52it.
35:53She never
35:54got to tell
35:54anyone.
35:55Actually,
35:56Caleb, I
35:58think maybe
35:59she did.
36:01Good morning,
36:12Labra.
36:14Have you
36:15met
36:15Madison?
36:16She's my...
36:17Wait, what
36:18are you?
36:19Well, you're
36:19my mentor, and
36:21that's kind of
36:21what you two
36:22were to
36:22Margo, right?
36:24Alexa, I
36:25normally admire
36:26a tenacious
36:26woman, but this
36:27is too much.
36:28Back off.
36:30Hello, you
36:30must be
36:31Harry's wife.
36:32I've heard
36:32next to
36:33nothing about
36:34you.
36:34Virginia's
36:34right, Alexa,
36:35you're pushing
36:35this too far.
36:36She keeps
36:37coming out to
36:38the surf
36:38beach.
36:39Now, I'm
36:39glad you
36:39mentioned that,
36:40because that's
36:41where you said
36:41you were the
36:42Saturday morning
36:42that Margo
36:43died surfing.
36:44I believe
36:44so.
36:45I don't.
36:46Alexa's been
36:47listening to
36:47Caleb Moore's
36:48slots on
36:49student radio,
36:50and she
36:50noticed that
36:51the show he's
36:51on also does
36:52a daily surf
36:53report.
36:53So just
36:54out of
36:54interest, I
36:54went back to
36:55that Saturday
36:55and listened
36:56to the podcast,
36:57and guess what
36:58I'm going to
36:58say, Duncan,
36:59can you guess?
37:00Call security,
37:01will you, Virginia?
37:02Get these
37:02bloody women
37:02out of here.
37:03What she was
37:04going to say
37:04is, there
37:05was no surf
37:06that day.
37:07Student FM
37:08surf girl gave
37:09the West Coast
37:09a zero out
37:10of ten.
37:11So somebody's
37:11telling Pibs.
37:12Uh, so
37:13you're suggesting
37:14that Duncan
37:15was here with
37:16Margo?
37:17You really
37:17are clutching
37:18at straws.
37:18Except that
37:19I'm not,
37:19because you
37:20were here,
37:20right, Duncan?
37:21Now, hear me
37:22out.
37:22No one
37:23could understand
37:24why swatty
37:25Margo would
37:26break the rules
37:26to work alone
37:27without a safety
37:28buddy, so
37:29that's what
37:29we focused
37:30on, and
37:31then Madison
37:31figured out
37:32that someone
37:33in this faculty
37:34swiped in on
37:34the Friday
37:35morning, but
37:36didn't leave
37:36that night.
37:39Why are you
37:39both looking
37:40at me?
37:41As if Duncan
37:42would allow a
37:43student to come
37:43to hum, he
37:44elevates people,
37:45he doesn't
37:45have to stop
37:46you there.
37:47You see, two
37:48days before
37:49Margo died, she
37:50discovered something,
37:51and she
37:52brought it to
37:52a professor, her
37:53mentor, who
37:54she looked up
37:55to, who she
37:56was expecting
37:56to impress.
37:57But you
37:58weren't impressed,
37:59you were pissed
38:00off, because
38:01this baby
38:02scientist was
38:03going to be a
38:03star.
38:04She's going to
38:05take all the
38:05glory, all the
38:06money.
38:07What did Margo
38:07discover, Duncan?
38:09Well, whatever
38:09it was, she'd
38:10written it all
38:11down in her
38:11little pink
38:12notebooks, which
38:13unfortunately
38:13are missing
38:14from her house.
38:15And we thought
38:16if we located
38:16those notebooks,
38:17things might
38:18become clearer.
38:18So, Madison
38:20came here
38:20yesterday, and
38:21she took a
38:22little look
38:22around.
38:22Sorry, you
38:23what?
38:23Oh, we
38:23have an
38:24access card.
38:25Speaking of
38:25cards, that
38:26was brilliant
38:27how you
38:28swapped yours
38:28out for
38:29Caleb's, because
38:30it looked like
38:31you left when
38:31you didn't.
38:32He swiped out
38:33on your card
38:34on the Friday
38:34night, while
38:35you stayed in
38:36and got comfy.
38:37Madison could
38:38not find the
38:38notebooks in
38:39your office, but
38:40she found
38:40something else.
38:42Your sleeping
38:42bag.
38:44And then so
38:44did I.
38:45I.
38:45I.
38:48Margot's
38:54notebooks.
38:56What, what
38:57did Margot
38:58discover, Duncan?
39:01No idea.
39:02Nothing.
39:03Those notebooks
39:03that you're so
39:04interested in, Alexa,
39:05are just full
39:06of undergraduate
39:07musings.
39:08Well, that's
39:08not what Caleb
39:09Moore thinks.
39:10He's taken
39:10copies and he's
39:11writing up Margot's
39:12work as we speak.
39:14What's the matter,
39:15Prof?
39:15You've already
39:17written it up,
39:18haven't you?
39:19Because that's
39:20the other thing
39:20that Madison
39:21found in your
39:22office, on your
39:23computer.
39:25You were about
39:26to publish Margot's
39:27work, but you
39:27forgot to put her
39:28name on it.
39:30Duncan, what
39:32did you do?
39:32You said that
39:33you'd go to the
39:34next stage, but
39:35with you at the
39:35helm, controlling
39:36the work, the
39:37money.
39:38But Margot
39:39wasn't going to
39:39have that.
39:41Now, she's from
39:41this new generation
39:42that's not going to
39:43let any man take
39:44credit for her
39:45work.
39:46So, when you
39:47put the pressure
39:47on, she threatened
39:49to go public.
39:50She's going to
39:51tell everybody that
39:52you've been exploiting
39:53students, accepting
39:55gifts, and that
39:55you're hardly ever
39:57here except to put
39:58your name on
39:58someone else's
39:59work.
40:00And if all that
40:01came out in this
40:02day and age, you'd
40:04be cancelled, mate.
40:05Oh, for pity's
40:07sake.
40:07So, you talked
40:08Margot down, said
40:10you'd meet her, test
40:11her theory, run
40:12some experiments.
40:12You asked her not
40:14to tell anyone, and
40:15she didn't, because
40:16she believed you.
40:18And that was
40:18Margot's fatal
40:19mistake.
40:24Because you
40:24already knew what
40:25you were going to
40:26do.
40:30You weren't going
40:31to let Margot run
40:31off with your
40:32retirement plan.
40:33So, you decided
40:41that this brilliant
40:43student and her
40:44discovery needed
40:45to go away.
40:57Oh, my God.
40:58The work always
41:01comes first, Virginia.
41:02You know that.
41:03Yeah, whose work?
41:04You would have been
41:05happy with that
41:06child running the
41:07next stage.
41:09You and I working
41:10under her.
41:11Because that's what
41:12would have happened.
41:13Oh.
41:13That's what she
41:13wanted.
41:15Oh, my God.
41:16Jenny, wait, please.
41:18Don't hate me.
41:18Stop it.
41:19Stop it.
41:19Stop it.
41:20Stop it.
41:21Stop it.
41:21Stop it.
41:21Stop it.
41:21Stop it.
41:22Stop it.
41:22Stop it.
41:23Stop it.
41:23Stop it.
41:24Stop it.
41:24Stop it.
41:25Stop it.
41:25Stop it.
41:26Stop it.
41:26Stop it.
41:27Stop it.
41:27Stop it.
41:28Stop it.
41:28Thank you,
41:40friend of Harry's.
41:42You're welcome.
41:50Divorce papers.
41:51Hey.
41:53She keeping your name?
41:55Actually, no.
41:56Jenkins, it's time
41:57to be herself.
41:59You know what she
41:59is doing?
42:02The Margot Booth
42:03Scholarship.
42:04Financial support
42:05for young women
42:06starting out in the
42:07study of chemical
42:07science.
42:08So they don't have
42:09to marry a young
42:09man like you.
42:11Seriously, that's a
42:12really nice tribute
42:12to Margot.
42:13Yeah.
42:14She must be a good
42:15woman, your ex-wife
42:16slash best friend.
42:18She's okay.
42:19But you like your
42:19new bestie best.
42:22Sure do.
42:22Because what's not
42:24to love?
42:33Alexa's taking a vacation.
42:35Right.
42:36She's in Fiji.
42:38Fifty bucks says she's
42:40working on more than just
42:40her son's hand.
42:41It's like the universe
42:42has put us together
42:43at the same time
42:44so justice can finally
42:45be served.
42:45Universe didn't put me
42:46here.
42:47You did.
42:47What on earth are you
42:48doing here, Alexa Crowe?
42:49I go after creeps
42:50like you for fun.
42:52You having fun here?
42:53Who wants that?
42:54Do you have a bloke
42:54with you?
42:55I just have a thing
42:56for an available woman.
42:58Make up your mind, Alexa.
42:59Can't just take a vacation,
43:00can you?
