00:00I should have her back by the end of the day, depending on what they find.
00:19You'll need a shower. The formaldehyde smell really lingers.
00:30You're an anesthetist, right? Google says you're five times more likely to be an addict than other medical practitioners.
00:45Sounds like internet bullshit to me.
00:48I saw you at the gas station yesterday, doing your patches.
00:53It's hormone patches.
01:00My mum's tried those. But Ava's mum, when she had her mastectomy, she got prescribed urinal patches.
01:08Josh nicked some from the bathroom. We tried them. They were so fun.
01:18Oi! Best friends, was it?
01:22Huh? You and Cassie.
01:25I don't get naked with my best friend.
01:28Were you shagging my sister?
01:30What are you talking about?
01:31Were you skinny-diffing with her, the night before she died?
01:33Were you having an affair with her?
01:35No.
01:36Really?
01:37It's so weird. That is what it looks like to me.
01:44Uh, we were, um, where did you get this?
01:46How long was it going on for?
01:48Someone sent this to Cassie. They were trying to blackmail her.
01:50Who shot this? What are they saying?
01:52How long was it going on?
01:57How did you know where to find her water bottle when no one else could?
02:02I just saw it.
02:03Oh, did you know where to look?
02:04You know, a post-mortem would discover if you were shagging her the night before she died.
02:07You'd need to give a little sample.
02:09I loved Cassie. We were just good friends.
02:12Did she want to break it off with you? Because the wedding was happening?
02:16What's going on here?
02:17Christ, Mum!
02:18Why do you lot have to come halfway around the world to stir things up?
02:22Why don't you do it in your own backyard?
02:24Telling us how to run our farms and burning our property?
02:27I didn't burn your tractor and neither did my sister.
02:30She was too busy dying!
02:32Pull your head in, Mum.
02:33Look, I'm not saying I'd wish you dead.
02:36I'm sorry for you.
02:37But people like her think they're heroes and they're not.
02:40So stick that up your woke ass!
02:43Enough, enough, enough.
02:45Come on, Mum. Just let it go.
02:47Come on, come on.
02:49Stop.
03:10I'm sorry for you.
03:33Hmph.
03:34No!
03:35Come on.
04:05Oh, Mia, love. How are you doling?
04:22Tired. Yes, you will be. It's a lot. Want to come in?
04:30Oh, no, thank you. I'm actually in the hunt for some caffeine. God knows, I should give that up as well.
04:37I wondered if you could help me.
04:39Yeah.
04:41I don't know what this is. My sister was wearing it.
04:46KÅ«namu. That's a taonga. A treasure.
04:51They're given at important occasions or just to those we love.
04:55This could be one of you who's at the souvenir shop down the road.
05:02Okay.
05:05That's really helpful.
05:08Thank you, Mrs Olsens.
05:10Brenda, love.
05:14Thank you, Mrs Olsens.
05:35Shit.
05:37Are you at it?
05:59You got me.
06:00Is this one of yours?
06:04I don't make them anymore.
06:07My sister was wearing it when she died.
06:11Okay.
06:13I did make this one.
06:17For her?
06:19No.
06:20For Harry. Harry Grimes.
06:23The Undertaker?
06:24Why would he have given it to Cassie?
06:28These get passed on from person to person.
06:31What?
06:32Like a Taylor Swift bracelet?
06:34That's a little bit deeper than that.
06:37What does it mean?
06:39This?
06:40This is a toki.
06:42It signifies courage and leadership.
06:45Are you okay, sis?
06:48Is there something else you want?
06:51About a pedal or two to get you through the next few days?
06:56Some weed, maybe?
06:58It can get you something stronger.
07:13Sweet.
07:14Well?
07:17You'll have to speak to Sergeant Grimes.
07:19She gets the official report.
07:21Did they find anything?
07:22If you're talking about the post-mortem,
07:23it takes up to 48 hours for the report to get to me.
07:25After that, then we can decide what action, if any, to take.
07:28It's a process.
07:2940 hours.
07:30If they do find anything suspicious, the funeral might be delayed.
07:33But they did give us permission to get the process started.
07:36Harry and Sadie can do their work and you can see her again a bit later on if you'd like to.
07:44My sister didn't like jewellery.
07:47And this was found on her when she died.
07:50Konamu.
07:53You ever get one of these?
07:54Can't say I have.
07:58It's a nice memento for you.
08:02This was left in my windshield.
08:05Someone else who fell off a cliff?
08:07Mm-hmm.
08:12Must be 15 years ago.
08:14That was a sad one.
08:17Took her own life.
08:19What happened?
08:22She was my friend and then one day she was gone.
08:26You must have seen her file.
08:28It was a long time before I joined the force.
08:30But since then?
08:31I mean, surely if it was my friend I would...
08:34Well that's the difference between us.
08:36Beautiful Hera.
08:37I don't hear that.
09:07You totally don't want to be here.
09:10I wanted to speak to your dad.
09:12Right now he's doing his job, so late is better.
09:15I don't want to be here.
09:46I don't want to be here, though.
09:51For fuck's sake!
09:54Mom, please!
09:58Ah!
10:15Oh, hey, Frances.
10:33Sorry about your last take here.
10:35Yeah.
10:36You all right?
10:37See you at the festival.
10:42Got any sleep yet?
10:44Oh, not enough of it, and at all the wrong times.
10:47You, you getting on with stuff yourself?
10:49Yeah.
10:50It's the yearly arrival of the White Lake to spawn here,
10:52which means the festival stops for no one.
10:55And I'm the chair.
10:56Huh.
10:57See you, Ewan.
10:59See you, mate.
11:01They're more fans of Dad's than mine.
11:03He was the legend in his day.
11:06Falling in his footsteps?
11:07Oh, God, if I had, honestly, I'd still be doing it wrong.
11:10I found her phone.
11:12It was in her jacket pocket.
11:14Her jacket pocket, of course.
11:18Should hand that in to the police, yeah?
11:20The day she died, she caught this.
11:24Look at her.
11:24Let's go.
11:25Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:26Oh.
11:33Oh chợ!
11:35Oh!
11:37Oh.
11:45Oh.
11:46Oh, my God.
11:49Are you fucking my fiance?
12:02Were you?
12:03No.
12:03Bullshit.
12:04You were in the river, naked, at night, days before my wedding, Teddy.
12:10Calm the fuck down, Ewan.
12:11You've got it all wrong.
12:12Bullshit, I saw the fucking video.
12:14Are you okay, son?
12:15Yes.
12:15Put the gun down.
12:16When I'm ready.
12:17This is a joke to you.
12:21We're all about to lose our farms.
12:23It's got nothing to do with Cassie.
12:24Your son, Louise, was sleeping with my fiancee, okay?
12:28So this is between me and him.
12:31It was just skinny dipping.
12:33Bullshit!
12:35Listen, you entitled little shit.
12:38If you come onto my property and you threaten my family, I have every right to defend myself.
12:47Bugger off the lot of you!
12:49Fuck!
12:50I'll drive.
12:51You said you guys were good.
13:14It just doesn't feel very like Cassie.
13:32When Cass first arrived in town, I thought she was just one of those nomads, you know?
13:38Running away from something, running to something, but never really arriving and staying.
13:46The first time we ever saw each other, she was literally getting off the bus that she'd just arrived into town on.
13:54And she was arguing with the driver about wailing.
13:57I mean, like really shouting at the guy, like she was in a fight to the death for the very last whale on the planet.
14:09Full disclosure, though, I was going out with Nat when Cassie arrived.
14:14Know that?
14:15Jesus, you're game.
14:18Yeah.
14:19I broke up with her that evening.
14:21I wasn't going anywhere.
14:22They were kind of just like old mates who didn't really find anyone else here in town, you know?
14:29So you saw Cass getting off the bus?
14:32Then what?
14:34The naked sprint.
14:36The naked sprint?
14:38Yeah, it was actually going to be part of my wedding speech.
14:42You see, there was a bunch of us down at the creek that evening and someone came up with the idea for a naked sprint down the main street.
14:49So the next minute, there was like, I don't know, five or so of us, including Cass and I, running stark bollock.
14:56Like Tet in her case.
14:57Yeah, running stark tit bollock, naked, down the main street.
15:02And me being a bloke, took the lead, followed none other than by Cass.
15:08And me being a bloke who fancied her, let her pass me.
15:13Foolish.
15:14She immediately started attacking me for letting her win.
15:17Huh.
15:19I taught her well.
15:21Anyway, she challenged me to a rerun.
15:23Just me and her.
15:25And this time, obviously, I ran my heart out.
15:29But we were pissing ourselves laughing that she actually overtook me.
15:37She never told you this?
15:39I mean, if she had, I don't know.
15:49I remember it like it was in slow motion.
15:52We reached the end of the street.
15:57We left everyone behind.
15:59We're on our own.
16:00So we just kept running and running.
16:03And eventually, we reached this big, open, grassy field and we just collapsed because we're so exhausted from running and laughing so much.
16:13And then we hugged each other.
16:20And when our skin touched.
16:25When our skin touched.
16:28It was like our energy just shot through each other like lightning bolts.
16:35It just felt so real.
16:37I'm sure whatever it was between Cass and Teddy, I'm sure it wasn't serious.
16:52I mean, she was still wearing her engagement ring.
16:56That has to count for something.
16:59I don't think she thought it was really for her.
17:03She sent me a clip when you gave it to her.
17:05She said it was your grandmother's.
17:09It came from Scotland, Edinburgh, no less.
17:13It's true.
17:15She was terrified of losing it in the bush.
17:21Which leads me to, um...
17:27A really terrible confession.
17:35It's so stuck.
17:44Oh.
17:46And this.
17:50There we go.
17:51A bit of movement.
17:52Oh!
17:53Gotcha.
17:53Yeah.
17:54You all right?
17:55Mm-hmm.
17:55Sorry.
17:56Oh, my darling.
17:57Yeah.
18:00Mm.
18:00How are you?
18:05You must be so tired still.
18:08And what a shock about poor Cassie.
18:12We loved her so much.
18:15Yeah.
18:16So did I.
18:17I'm sure you did.
18:18So young and so beautiful and so spirited.
18:22Ma.
18:29Hmm.
18:30Such a loss.
18:36Sorry.
18:37You okay?
18:37Okay.
18:37Okay.
18:37Okay.
18:37Okay.
18:39Okay.
18:41Okay.
18:43Okay.
18:45Okay.
18:47Okay.
18:49Okay.
18:50Okay.
19:21Jesus Christ.
19:33We did the same with Dad, too.
19:36It's just, you know, nice to have them here as he can see them, talk to them.
19:40It just feels better, eh?
19:43I did the makeup.
19:46I do all the makeup.
19:48She's a talented kid.
19:51Um, she didn't wear dresses very often.
19:56Oh, is there, um, her going-away dress for the honeymoon?
20:00Oh, my sweet lord.
20:02He looks like a reject from the Addams family.
20:04Um.
20:04Oh, poor Cassie sailing off to Tienanog looking like a portrait from Dalton John's attic.
20:09Okay, that's enough.
20:11I'm sorry.
20:12Sorry.
20:14It's lovely.
20:16Thank you, see.
20:16Thanks, Harry.
20:21Welcome.
20:23Now we keep her spirit company until the burial.
20:26I don't know.
20:56I don't know.
21:26Not chopping them up?
21:29It's a eucalyptus.
21:31Not a native.
21:32We're trying to clear them out so natives can grow here instead.
21:34But you don't give a shit about that, do you?
21:37I just found a load of clothes.
21:39And my sister's eco pods covered in petrol.
21:42She's living on a farm.
21:44Lived.
21:45So who burned the tractor the other night then?
21:48Sorry?
21:49Well, it couldn't have been her.
21:50She was lying at the bottom of a cliff at the time.
21:55Was it you?
21:57To be honest, ass and it's not really my jam.
22:01When are you heading back to Scotland?
22:02I thought I'd wait until they buried my sister.
22:08We need Ewan back.
22:10He needs to continue our work.
22:12He's just lost his fiancée.
22:15What is wrong with you?
22:16Nothing's going to bring her back, is it?
22:18She would want us to keep our work going.
22:22I want to honour that.
22:23And I'm sure Ewan does too.
22:25In his own time.
22:26You're sure about that?
22:28What?
22:29What are you talking about?
22:30Ewan's a great leader.
22:31He keeps us all together.
22:32But, um, he's always needed a woman nearby with some real knowledge or else nothing would happen.
22:41Do you know what I think, Natalie?
22:44I think you might still have a bit of a thing for Ewan.
22:53No.
22:57Sure about that?
23:01Just don't take everything he says at face value, yeah?
23:14Yeah, there you are.
23:35Would you like a drink?
23:36Oh, thanks. I know you're all right.
23:40Hey, um, I need to sort my head out.
23:45Will you come back up the hill with me?
23:49Do you think that'll help?
23:52Do I believe in closure?
23:55No.
23:57No.
24:00But do I want to think more on this spot where my sister died?
24:07Yeah, I think that's fair enough.
24:10Sure, yeah, I'll join you.
24:14I'll stay with Cassie until tea time.
24:16I wouldn't worry, though, dear, the way she looks.
24:19There's no fear from the body snatchers.
24:21Any snatchers?
24:36What?
24:51It's strange to be here.
25:14So tell me about Hera.
25:15So tell me about Hera.
25:21I told you we went to the same school.
25:25That's all?
25:26She had a bit of a crush on me at the time.
25:30Of course she did.
25:32You were...
25:33About 17.
25:35She was 15.
25:41Nothing happened between us.
25:43Yeah, no.
25:44Sure, I just heard that...
25:45That was around the age she was when she killed herself.
25:49I mean, that was the talk in the town.
25:52They kept it from her mother.
25:53It's just kind of to say that she fell.
25:56It's like Cassie.
25:58As far as we know, Cassie did fall.
26:01He had her jumped.
26:02Maybe the grey man got them both.
26:06There's no more a grey man here than there is a monster in Loch Ness.
26:10So, when you left Cassie up here, it was still daylight?
26:14Just?
26:16She tried to call me.
26:17As I was taking off, I was halfway here.
26:20So, she fell sometime between you leaving her and that call.
26:24You know I didn't leave her up here, Mia.
26:27What?
26:28I didn't leave her here.
26:29It was down there.
26:30I was here, she was there.
26:44What were you doing?
26:46Talking, discussing.
26:51I bet what?
26:53Tactics for a rewilding campaign.
26:56I thought that she had finally gone too far, you know, with the vision.
26:59She was burning tractors, people's property.
27:01I mean, it's not like you're attacking a government, is it, Mia?
27:04People here, the farmers, they're just trying to make a living.
27:08The activists, this generation, yeah, they want to send out real messages.
27:12They want to disrupt shit.
27:13They don't want to just walk down a street with a placard.
27:16Ah, be the change.
27:17Yeah, and Cassie was at the forefront of it.
27:18She was leading the pack, riling them all up.
27:21I thought, great, here we go.
27:22She's going to get caught.
27:23She gets arrested.
27:24She'll get deported.
27:25And that was just the beginning, yeah?
27:26They set their sights far greater than burning tractors.
27:29And me, Mia, I'm tired.
27:31I just want to plant trees.
27:32Is that why she went to live in the Equipod?
27:35I thought I was giving her space, you know?
27:38I thought maybe, maybe that would be good before the wedding.
27:44Why didn't you just tell me that?
27:45I did ask you if there were problems.
27:47I thought that we were both looking forward to getting married.
28:02Did you fuck her here?
28:09Sorry.
28:11You just said that you were all over each other when you met.
28:14So I'm just, I'm just trying to understand and get my head around a little bit where you were at.
28:21Right.
28:22Yeah, or maybe I'd block that part out when you let me know that your sister was screwing around on me.
28:27So, you, so you were standing?
28:29No, actually, I was sitting, she was standing.
28:34The whole time?
28:35I don't know.
28:36I got up at some point, I guess.
28:37Why?
28:38Why?
28:38Because we weren't, we weren't discussing, all right?
28:42We were fighting, we were having an argument.
28:44About her guerrilla tactic?
28:45Yes.
28:47Yes.
28:49And yeah, I blame myself for walking off on her that day, all right?
28:54Did she hit you?
28:56Piss off, Mia.
28:58Piss you, shove you.
28:59She didn't touch me.
29:00Did she ever tell you about our mother?
29:02When she'd hit us?
29:03When she'd scream at us, she'd shout at us.
29:05That was our life training ground.
29:07That's where we learned what to do in an argument.
29:09Yeah, I get it, it's not good.
29:10Just because when Cassie was pissed off, she'd hit me.
29:12Well, she never even touched me, okay, never.
29:14Lucky you.
29:16Did you hit her?
29:19No.
29:21Well, she never made you so mad.
29:22She never wound you up.
29:23She could do that.
29:24She could wind people up to the point of bursting.
29:26She actually took pride in it.
29:28In the fact that she'd never backed down.
29:29There was always someone else that hit her.
29:31It was always someone else that slammed the door in her face.
29:33Were you going to hit her?
29:34And then you decided not to and you walked away.
29:39Were you having an affair?
29:40All right, you listen to me.
29:41It's not just you.
29:43It's hurting me, okay?
29:44I'm hurting.
29:45I'm hurting me.
29:48We're all hurting, okay?
29:49So you don't get to come here and sit on all of us like this.
29:54I just don't understand how you survive our childhood
29:57and then just fall down some big damn cliff.
29:59Fuck off!
30:03Candy!
30:04Candy!
30:04Let me go!
30:28Evening.
30:29Evening.
30:31Don't you have a...
30:31A digger?
30:32It's bust and I can't afford to fix it.
30:36Bearing people is not the business it used to be.
30:38Cremations have taken over.
30:40Recognize this?
30:45Nope.
30:48Cassie was wearing it when she died.
30:52Nothing to do with me.
30:56But you had it made.
30:57I passed it on a long time ago.
31:00To who?
31:02You're not the police, mate.
31:04But your wife is.
31:06She didn't recognize it.
31:10Listen.
31:12If you want to do some digging, feel free to help.
31:14Because if I don't finish this,
31:15your sister's not going to find any peace in me that will you.
31:19So you didn't have this made for your wife?
31:23Don't play with me.
31:27No.
31:51Sup?
31:53Who the fuck are you?
31:54We've got something you'd like to see.
31:56Uh-huh.
31:59A video.
32:00For your sister.
32:01With someone who was not her fiancé.
32:04Feen it!
32:08Guessing it was you
32:09that sent it to Cassie's phone to blackmail her.
32:13I'm also guessing that she told you to sod off,
32:15which means you're not very good at it.
32:18What about Teddy?
32:19Did he cough up?
32:20We've seen other stuff, too.
32:23Kiss.
32:24Oh, Junior.
32:26Okay.
32:28It's going to be your loss.
32:30Cassie and Teddy had a big fight at her eco pod
32:32the morning before she died.
32:35What about?
32:35It's going to be your loss.
32:38Journal.
32:40We know you've got some.
32:41Why can't you get it from the tourist shop guy?
32:43Do you want to know or not?
32:45Read your journal patches.
32:49Will you have further information to supply me with in the future?
32:53Yeah.
32:54Yeah, we're totally all over it.
32:55Go on, then.
33:07She was very angry with him.
33:09They were yelling at each other.
33:11She kept telling him to tell the truth
33:13and to man up.
33:15And what did he see?
33:17We couldn't hear.
33:18He made her lower her voice.
33:20You said three.
33:36Tough to see.
33:37Okay.
33:50Hello?
33:58Hello?
34:14Oh, my God!
34:16Oh, my God!
34:16Oh, my God!
34:18Oh, my God!
34:19Little buggers, you all right?
34:34How did they get in here?
34:35I've no idea.
34:36They're actually rare.
34:38Not tonight.
34:39Oh, they found with all the other friendly locals.
34:42The anti-rewilders.
34:43They went after Cassie too.
34:45The bats were here first.
34:46It's everyone else that should go.
34:47Have you fallen out with anyone since you arrived?
34:55You okay, love?
35:00Okay.
35:02Okay, I'll leave you to your call.
35:09Hello?
35:11Hey, I'm in your flat.
35:13How are you doing?
35:15Holding up?
35:15Furo's on Thursday.
35:18God, I can't imagine what you're going through.
35:23Which makes this next bit extremely hard.
35:26But there's questions here.
35:29I think they're building a case.
35:31About Coulter being awake?
35:34Like it was my fault?
35:35There's mutterings of a board investigation.
35:38Then they should just bloody talk to me.
35:40Not try and build a case this way.
35:42I can clear this up.
35:44Mate, there's...
35:44You're not missing from just before you left.
35:48Rez.
35:51I'm sorry.
35:52But I'm your friend, so I've got to ask.
35:54No, you don't actually.
35:55I've been clean for years and you know it.
35:58Good.
35:59I'm sorry.
36:00Believe me, Rez.
36:02Okay.
36:03Of course.
36:05I saw online that they're, uh...
36:08They're calling it an accident.
36:09Someone pushed my sister.
36:14I know it.
36:16And what are the police saying?
36:17We're waiting on the post-marchive results.
36:19I wish Gessie could just tell me what happened.
36:24How's I key?
36:25It's good.
36:27Fine.
36:30Tell him his mum will be home soon.
36:33Copy.
36:37I need to sleep.
36:38Take care, please.
36:40And if you need to talk...
36:42Night, Rez.
36:42I need to sleep.
37:12Too much for now. I'll tell her soon.
37:42Hello, love.
38:07I think you would laugh at this day of here.
38:14I'm just glad so that you're not here to see yourself.
38:37Where did that come from?
39:01She was weirding it when we found her.
39:06Yeah, I remember. It's just weird.
39:09I mean, like the ring.
39:12She didn't usually have had jewelry.
39:15Well, it must have been just as important to her.
39:20It's just gonna happen.
39:21What are these?
39:35Manuka.
39:37The first flowers your sister ever gave me were roses.
39:40The first flowers I ever gave her...
39:41I've had bats. Literally. Inside of my room.
39:49What do you mean by bats?
39:52Someone planted bats in my Airbnb.
39:54Uh, look, Cassie, um, told me about your issues.
40:06I'm not judging, but if you need support while you're here, I'm here for you.
40:10I'm not saying things, Ewan.
40:14For the record, I have been clean for a number of years now.
40:19It's my shift.
40:29You get some sleep.
40:37I might, um, take a walk, actually. Get some air.
40:43Sorry to say that your sister is starting to...
40:45Smell.
40:47Yeah.
40:49Thanks.
41:08Evening, Arnott.
41:11How are you this evening?
41:14You look wonderful.
41:19May I?
41:21May I be my guest?
41:31A song from the old country.
41:33Maybe I'll be right back.
41:35Okay.
41:44Come on.
41:46Bye.
41:46Bye.
41:52Bye.
41:55Bye.
41:56Bye.
41:58Bye.
41:59Bye.
41:59Bye.
42:00Bye.
