00:00I'm standing at a rival's.
00:07Been waiting half an hour.
00:09Well that's clearly a lie.
00:11You're puffing.
00:12It's not a lie.
00:14They do know I am a detective.
00:16I'm just breathless with anticipation.
00:21You might have to wait a little longer.
00:23Didn't quite make it to the airport.
00:26You think you could have told me this before I nearly blew up my heart running?
00:29Ah, so it was a lie.
00:31What happened?
00:33I stopped to think about something and I guess that was yesterday.
00:39Think about what?
00:40I thought you solved your case.
00:42No, not my case.
00:43It was a personal matter.
00:47As I recall, you don't have those.
00:50It's just that the last time I did, I ran away and I think maybe I should try not to do that anymore.
00:58Oh, we're talking about your failed wedding are we?
01:01Well I was trying to be oblique.
01:02You do know I'm a detective.
01:04If I didn't know any better Mackenzie, I'd say you were having feelings.
01:08I'm not having feelings.
01:10Sort them out.
01:11Give me a call when you're done.
01:12No.
01:13I'm just gonna get on the next plane.
01:15Sorry, breaking up here.
01:17Don't you dare.
01:18Bad line.
01:19No, no, no.
01:20Wait, wait, wait.
01:21Wait.
01:22Wait.
01:23Wait.
01:24Wait.
01:25Please be GM to blame.
01:36Go.
01:37Go.
01:38Go.
01:39Go.
01:40Go.
01:42Can you get those samples in the fridge and quickly this time?
01:59Of course, but you're late.
02:00They're waiting.
02:02We're in the business of stopping human ageing.
02:06And our groundbreaking shark research is at the very centre of that vision.
02:11I am extremely proud to announce that Shark Tech, formerly a part of South Coast University,
02:19has begun to attract the attention.
02:21I'm way behind. I'll see you back at the lab.
02:23Do I want to stay for the pitch?
02:24I wrote the pitch.
02:25It's a monumental moment for us.
02:27Clementine Clebelli, Dolphin Cove Echo.
02:29Can you explain how shark research will actually help us stop ageing?
02:34For that, I would now like to hand over to one of the world's leading shark experts,
02:40Associate Professor.
02:41Brian Chandler.
02:43Thank you, Asha.
02:46We've been carrying out genetic research into how white sharks stabilise and adapt their DNA.
02:52We've also been tracking them to...
02:53Why don't you just leave them alone?
02:55I'm sorry you're from...
02:56You know who I am.
02:59Can you explain how trapping sharks on drumlines is impacting on fish populations?
03:05It's not.
03:06Well, that's not what the fishermen are saying.
03:08If we could please bring it back to Shark Tech's research.
03:14Clementine, a follow-up?
03:16You're charging a double on the way back.
03:29Of course you are.
03:30It's in the early ë¶„'s path.
03:43There was.
03:43Whoa, whoa.
03:45Bye.
03:46Any questions?
03:48It won't.
03:48It won't be okay.
03:49Let's go until the eel.
03:49It won't be okay.
03:50It won't be okay.
03:51Good Andy melody.
03:52Good morning.
04:19Good morning.
04:19Not again.
04:26Why didn't you ask him to leave?
04:34I'm operations mate, not your personal security guard.
04:36He made us look like idiots.
04:38Brian, forget about it.
04:40It went well.
04:42And tomorrow morning there's going to be articles everywhere
04:44about the amazing work going on at Shark Tech.
04:46Our work.
04:48Which continues.
04:49Are you going out on the boat?
04:51Yeah, I've got to check the drum lines.
04:53I'll drop you down there.
04:55I've got an idea I want to pick your brain about.
04:57All right, Brian's out and away.
05:04Thank you both so much for this morning.
05:06Shame about what's his name interrupting.
05:07Right.
05:08Ten minutes to catch up on the rest of the day.
05:09Mm-hmm.
05:10Ten minutes to catch up on the rest of the day.
05:11Mm-hmm.
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:13Mm-hmm.
05:14Mm-hmm.

05:16Mm-hmm.
05:17Mm-hmm.
05:18Mm-hmm.
05:19Thank you both so much for this morning.
05:21Shame about what's his name interrupting.
05:24Right.
05:25Ten minutes to catch up on the rest of the day.
05:27Mm-hmm.
05:28Mm-hmm.
05:29monitor, Miami, or Rico.
05:30Stand up on the rest of the day.
05:31Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize.
05:33Negative chatting to everyone.
05:48Work ....
05:50...
05:53...
05:54...
05:55It's illegal without a license, you know?
06:22She's a pet.
06:23Hmm? What's her name?
06:24Caroline.
06:25How old?
06:26Fourteen months.
06:27Day to birth.
06:2831st of July, 2024.
06:30Hmm.
06:31Cancer.
06:32Leo.
06:33Well, make sure she's on a lead.
06:37Well do.
06:39Surprise for Daisy's mum's birthday.
06:42She loves them.
06:44Sorry if this is a stupid question, but aren't you meant to be in London?
06:49Yes.
06:51Hmm.
06:52So why aren't you?
06:57Well, it...
06:58Stop.
06:59...sort of involves...
07:00No.
07:01Let me say it.
07:02Go, come back.
07:03Plan, let me...
07:04...
07:14He looks too far gone.
07:16Here.
07:21Just watch out for the owl.
07:23What do you think?
07:24What do you think?
07:25Are they fishing?
07:26No.
07:27No rods, no lions.
07:28No.
07:29No rods, no lions.
07:37Ryan Chandler.
07:38Works for Shark Tech.
07:39Looks like a heart attack or stroke.
07:41There's not much we can do for him.
07:42The morgue, they can come and, uh...
07:43He's wearing a silver chain.
07:44Only crime against fashion.
07:45No, it's discoloured.
07:46Rotten eggs.
07:47No way.
07:48Yes way.
07:49Tarnished metal rotten eggs.
07:50Hydrogen sulfide gas.
07:51But how could he be gassed?
07:52We're outside in the boat.
07:53There's faint skin irritation around the nose and mouth.
07:55What if it was held to his face?
07:56That's fine.
07:57No.
07:58No.
07:59No.
08:00No.
08:01No.
08:02No.
08:03No.
08:04No.
08:05No.
08:06No.
08:07No.
08:08No.
08:09No.
08:10No.
08:11No.
08:12No.
08:13No.
08:14No.
08:15No.
08:16No.
08:17No.
08:18No.
08:19No.
08:20I didn't make sure he inhaled enough of it to kill him.
08:28This is murder.
08:29It might be murder.
08:30I'll...
08:31No more when I autopsy him.
08:32No, it's murder.
08:34See what else you can find on the body.
08:37Colin.
08:38Get dressed.
08:40He was my right hand man.
08:43He's been researching sharks his entire career, even before we met.
08:47This is awful.
08:50You go, hon.
08:51Thanks.
08:51Okay.
08:53My husband.
08:55Craig Park.
08:56Operations.
08:58Did you see Brian this morning?
09:00He spoke at the press conference.
09:02We're on the brink of some significant breakthroughs,
09:04so we've spun off from the university.
09:07No more chance of selling out to cosmetic companies
09:09who are desperate to break anti-ageing.
09:12Good pitch.
09:14Yeah, well, the science is bigger than just a pitch, detective.
09:16What happened after the press conference?
09:18Friends, I've got it all here.
09:23And you are?
09:25Susie Heughan.
09:27She's one of our team.
09:29A PhD in marine biology and a wonderful scientist.
09:36Sorry.
09:38The press conference was at 9am out the front of the lab.
09:42Then Asher dropped Brian at the boat.
09:44He had to check the drum lines.
09:46When was this?
09:47Uh, I don't know exactly.
09:50From here to the dock, about 10.30.
09:53Then what?
09:54Well, we came back here and we got on with our day.
09:58What time is that?
10:0011.
10:03And who knew that Brian was going out on the boat?
10:05Just us.
10:06Is there CCTV at the dock?
10:09Yeah, I can help you with that.
10:11Out in the shed.
10:17What do you know about hydrogen sulphide?
10:20Why?
10:22They think it may have been a factor in Brian's death.
10:24Well, we're scientists.
10:28Even first-year chemistry students know everything there is to know about H2S.
10:35I wouldn't know anything about gas.
10:38I left school when I was 16, so...
10:39You're a boatman, aren't you?
10:41Don't all boatmen know about hydrogen sulphide in confined spaces?
10:45Say, when you're cleaning the head, for example?
10:49I suppose so, yeah.
10:50Huh.
10:51Probably got what you need to make it in this room.
10:54Brian's lost.
10:55Doesn't seem to have affected you too much.
10:58Yeah, well, I hardly knew the guy, so...
11:00You worked with him?
11:02Yeah, but Brian was too big-brained to talk to me.
11:04Okay, so that is the last 24 hours.
11:08That's all we've got.
11:11I'll leave you to it, then.
11:17Okay, okay.
11:19Here we go.
11:2210.38.
11:24Which fits with Asher driving him down there at around 10.30.
11:28She's on her way back to the lab now to meet the others.
11:32Brian gets on the boat.
11:35Now, we're just waiting for our killer.
11:40What?
11:42It's only him on it.
11:43No, that's not possible.
11:43Where's our killer?
11:46Maybe they're already on there?
11:49No, as far as we can tell,
11:50the only people that knew he was going to be on that boat
11:51with the Shark Tech crew,
11:52and they're all back at the lab by 11.
11:54It's not enough time to get down there, murder him, and get back.
11:57How could any of them murder Brian
12:00when he was on a boat in the middle of the water?
12:02Oh, hey, hey, hey.
12:27Dead bloke, alone on a boat.
12:29Is that right?
12:30Um, that's about it.
12:32That's a new one.
12:33Mind you, I nearly choked on an oyster
12:35on Mick Michael's tinny New Year's 99, the Y2K.
12:39Admittedly, I had had a few shardies,
12:41so I was not at my best, but still there,
12:44but for the grace of God.
12:46They've sent through the footage of the press conference.
12:48I've been scanning through it a bit,
12:50and I also got the photos of the victim
12:52and the lab team right here.
12:54How do you want to run it?
12:57You want the board?
12:57Yeah, I cleaned it up, got it ready for you.
12:59I don't mind.
13:00Yeah, mate, mate, mate.
13:01Yeah.
13:02Don't be shy.
13:03You're the boss.
13:03I may not have been completely forthcoming on the phone.
13:07About what?
13:08Ryan Chandler.
13:10Murdered in the middle of the ocean.
13:12About this situation.
13:13Senior scientist at Shark Tech
13:16found dead alone on board Hikari,
13:19the research vessel for Shark Tech.
13:22He got on board alive at 10.38am, according to the CCTV.
13:27He sailed out to sea,
13:28while the only people who knew where he was,
13:30the Shark Tech crew, were all back at the lab.
13:33Somewhere out there, he was gassed with hydrogen sulphide,
13:36we think held to his face on a cloth.
13:38And he comes ashore, dead, to me and Glenn, at 11.30.
13:42Mackenzie, any questions so far?
13:44Just the one, love.
13:46What the heck are you doing back here?
13:47Yes, Mackenzie, what the heck are you doing back here?
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:52It is a good question.
13:54It is a fair question.
13:58But a man is dead.
14:00And we have work to do.
14:02Detective Sergeant Clark.
14:06We're going to have to have a conversation about this,
14:07you understand?
14:10Yes, boss.
14:12All right, off you go.
14:15Shark Tech.
14:25Shark Tech.
14:26Led by Professor Asher Spencer.
14:29Bit of a shark herself.
14:30Mm-hmm.
14:30She owns the lab, thanks to some seed money,
14:32she's looking for investment.
14:33She drives Brian to the dock before he sails out to his death,
14:36and then she returns to the lab immediately afterwards.
14:41Craig Park, Asher's husband.
14:44Operations at Shark Tech.
14:46And Susie Heughan, research scientist.
14:49As far as we know, these are the only people that knew that Brian was going to be on that boat.
14:54Nothing in his phone suggests he told anyone outside the lab.
14:57Could it be someone random?
15:00It's murder.
15:01It's never random.
15:03Mm.
15:03What about the cloth?
15:04Probably at the bottom of the ocean by now.
15:06But, oh, I did, I found, I found this.
15:09Look, look, look.
15:11What is it?
15:12That is a bit of a red thread.
15:15Mm.
15:16It was on the gate to the dock, so somebody could have jumped the fence.
15:19Well, I think I might have a lead on that.
15:21There was a guy at the press conference.
15:23He didn't look like a journo, but he was asking some provocative questions.
15:26Why don't you just leave him alone?
15:28There, there, there, there.
15:29Zoom in, zoom in.
15:31Red shirt.
15:32Oh.
15:33Uh.
15:35We need to find out who that is.
15:37I know who that is.
15:39Yeah, that's my ex-husband.
15:45G'day, lads.
15:45G'day, mate.
15:46Hello, gorgeous.
15:47Hi.
15:49G'day, Damo.
15:51Oh, look here.
15:53Well, it didn't take long for you to become a tool of the establishment, did it, Reg?
15:58What happened to defund the police to social care instead of institutionalised power?
16:03Oh, pull your head in, would you?
16:04They just want to chat.
16:06I think I'm entitled to have a legal representative present, aren't I?
16:11We know you interrupted the Shark Tech press conference.
16:13I posed legitimate questions that I have a right to ask.
16:16All of my reporting is properly sourced and published on my website.
16:20Mm.
16:21Mm.
16:21Mm.
16:22Mm.
16:22Mm.
16:23Yeah.
16:25Love your shirt.
16:26Jumped any fences recently?
16:29Yesterday, to take some photos, to bear witness to the damage that they're doing to our marine
16:36population and local waters, it's not a crime.
16:39Well, it is.
16:41You know, Brian Chandler.
16:42Brian Chandler, you better know him.
16:43He is one of the worst, is out there doing God knows what on the water.
16:47You just keep him away from me, that's all I'm saying.
16:49Oh, that will not be a problem.
16:51Is he dead?
16:59Oh, well, he wasn't that bad.
17:02I was overcooking that one a little bit.
17:04Where were you after the press conference?
17:06Um, I was everywhere on my bike.
17:08Anyone see you?
17:09I speak to everybody on my route.
17:12That's what the local community is all about.
17:17We might need to talk to you again.
17:18If I make myself available.
17:23Hey, Reg.
17:24Don't start.
17:26You look really good.
17:27You know, I'd be more than happy to try and find you alternative accommodation.
17:43It's really no bother.
17:44You hate the beach and the view and, well, everything about that house, as far as I can tell.
17:53Whereas I am one of life's great enthusiasts.
17:56A lover of the sand, the sea, and especially of outdoor baths.
18:00Are you sure you're staying?
18:02Sorry?
18:02Would you consider, and hear me out, an extremely discreet and very quiet lodger?
18:10Absolutely not.
18:13Mackenzie, time for that conversation.
18:18Off she goes.
18:20Off to London.
18:22Dreary old Dolphin Cove receding in the rear view mirror.
18:25And then, I don't know, 24 hours later, I get a call from D.I. Mooney explaining that for scheduling reasons,
18:34your job is just not as urgent anymore and you're available to me again.
18:40Temporarily?
18:40Yeah, temporarily.
18:41No, no, of course, yes.
18:44One minute there's a job and the next...
18:48That's unusual.
18:51Don't you think?
18:52Hmm.
18:53Yeah.
18:53Yeah, maybe a little.
18:54Hmm.
18:59Temporary for how long?
19:02I don't know.
19:05There's a few things that I need to sort out.
19:08There's not something going on, is there?
19:10There's something I should be concerned about as your senior sergeant.
19:13No.
19:15What about then, just, you know, say, for example,
19:20as a mother who's very concerned about her son's happiness?
19:25Also, no.
19:34All right, then.
19:35Well, welcome back to Sunny Dolphin Cove.
19:39Oh, isn't it beautiful today?
19:43Um, insurance claim from a few months ago.
19:46Hard to piece it together from the paperwork, but it looked like Brian was accused of some fairly loose behaviour, which led to the injury of an employee.
19:54Who?
19:56Brian was putting a tracker into a shark.
19:58Landed on my arm.
20:00The tracker?
20:01The shark.
20:02And your shoulder was injured?
20:06It's not that bad.
20:09But you can't get it above your head, can you?
20:13There's nothing on the top shelf.
20:16Unless, do you want to...
20:18Why don't you pop that up there?
20:19Go on, prove me wrong.
20:20With your left hand.
20:36A PhD in marine biology, and they won't ensure you to be on the water.
20:42Why didn't you quit?
20:44I've been working with Asha since undergrad.
20:46I'm not going to throw away my career with her because of the setback.
20:51But all your grand ambitions just ripped from you.
20:55Because of Brian.
20:57Angry about it?
20:59Not at all.
21:01Sharks are powerful animals and can be unpredictable.
21:05Sometimes, when dealing with them in the field, accidents can occur despite the best efforts of everyone involved.
21:13Hmm.
21:14That's it for today.
21:15Thanks for taking the time.
21:29What do shark tech do with sharks?
21:32Research them.
21:34Track them.
21:35Acoustic tag we found on the boat.
21:37They don't use GPS.
21:39Mm-mm.
21:39GPS doesn't work from inside a shark.
21:41Which is where they put these.
21:42So, after the press conference, Asha drives Brian down to the dock.
21:47He gets on the boat alone.
21:49Sails away.
21:50At 10.38.
21:5410.57, the tracker records a ping from the listening station on this boy.
22:0211.14.
22:03And then it comes ashore to Glenn and me at 11.30.
22:08So, according to those four data points, duck where he left, boy one ping, boy two ping, and then to the beach, Glenn and me.
22:18That is a rough approximation of the boat's path.
22:21Well, it couldn't have gone somewhere else.
22:22If it went along the coast, someone could have got on board to kill Brian.
22:26Mm-mm.
22:26Because that boat has a top speed of about 20 knots.
22:29For the boat to travel that distance in that time, it had to sail straight out to sea.
22:35And at that speed, to get a boat to it, tie it up while moving.
22:39I mean, it's the same for a jet ski.
22:40It's the same for a kayak.
22:41Yeah, no one could get on board.
22:44And even if they could, the only people that know that he's there, well, they're all back at the lab by the time he's at the first boy.
22:50How did someone manage to murder him?
22:53It's impossible.
22:54Brian's office, did you find anything?
22:57Uh, not really.
22:58Gym bag, top, towels, shoes, wristband thingy.
23:02Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.
23:05What about his shorts?
23:06What?
23:07In his bag.
23:09Top, towel, shoes, wristband thingy.
23:11No shorts?
23:12No.
23:14Who goes to the gym without shorts?
23:26Oh, hello Frankie.
23:29Come here.
23:30Hey gorgeous.
23:31Where's Glenn, eh?
23:33I've got Brian Chandler first up tomorrow.
23:35I'll give you a call when I'm done.
23:39Shorts.
23:41What?
23:44You're wearing shorts.
23:46Which you would normally do if you were going to exercise.
23:49Uh, normally, yeah.
23:51Hmm.
23:52I'm back.
23:53Hi.
23:56See?
23:57Shorts.
23:59Aren't you meant to be in London?
24:01I am.
24:02I am.
24:03Yeah.
24:04Yeah.
24:04Yeah.
24:05But you're not?
24:06No.
24:07Um, I was just actually explaining that to Glenn's work stuff and the fast-paced environment
24:17of modern policing.
24:18That's it?
24:20That's it.
24:22Well, Glenn didn't say anything.
24:25Oh, it only happened a couple of hours ago.
24:27Oh.
24:29All righty.
24:30Well, um, welcome back.
24:33Are we off?
24:35Yeah.
24:35Let's do it.
24:37Frankie.
24:37All right.
24:39What are we doing?
24:40Around the headland and up the hill.
24:42Okay.
24:43Oh.
24:51Yoo-hoo.
24:51Come in.
24:55Oh.
24:56Okay.
24:57Oh.
24:59Well, I made a tagine.
25:02Way too much, of course.
25:04But I thought you could make use of it because you probably got nothing in the house.
25:16All unpacked?
25:18Nope.
25:21Can I ask?
25:24Mm.
25:25What happened?
25:29Operational stuff, you know.
25:32Scheduling.
25:34Scheduling.
25:35Mm.
25:36It's a nightmare.
25:39Well, it's lovely to have you back, honey, even if it's just for a little bit.
25:45So, toodaloo.
25:47Reggie.
25:48Mm.
25:51How did you know with Damo when it was done?
26:00I made a decision and that was it.
26:03Never again.
26:07That simple?
26:07It wasn't simple at all.
26:11But all you can do is follow your heart.
26:15Away from someone like me or towards them.
26:20What if you can't go towards them?
26:28Mm.
26:29When do the...
26:31Symptoms go away?
26:34You mean, feelings.
26:42They don't.
26:44But I've always thought if you do something for the right reason, the world just comes up to meet you.
26:50And I found a few fibres in his mouth and nose, so we can conclude.
27:04Hydrogen sulfide gas, applied direct to the face on a cloth or something similar.
27:24How quickly?
27:24Seconds, a few breaths.
27:26He was also on anticoagulants.
27:29How about her?
27:30At risk of clots, it looks like.
27:31He went to the gym.
27:33Uh, wouldn't have been my advice.
27:35Reckon any doctor would agree he should not have been working out.
27:38Would have killed him?
27:40Pretty high risk of some sort of episode.
27:41Right, so whoever killed him wanted it to look like a heart attack.
27:44Or a stroke.
27:45And it did.
27:46Until you came along.
27:48Here's something else, though.
27:49He had bruising on his neck.
27:53Was it from the struggle?
27:54With H2S, there's barely any struggle.
27:56This is older, I'd say, from being choked.
27:59Okay, great.
28:00More to go on.
28:01Is that it?
28:02That's it.
28:03We'll see you later.
28:12I'm still doing the report.
28:13I'll send it over.
28:15I heard you.
28:19Yeah, I'm standing right here.
28:23At your engagement party.
28:27After I left.
28:29What are you talking about?
28:31I came back.
28:35Frankie, she got in the cab.
28:36And then I brought her back and then she ran to you.
28:38And, uh, I heard what you said about your feelings, um, towards me.
28:49Um, I wanted to know, is that real?
28:58Mac?
29:00Reggie, on the phone.
29:02I couldn't quite make out exactly what she was saying.
29:05Ah, needs us back, apparently.
29:06Now, where is it?
29:20Uh, not this one.
29:21Uh, here it is.
29:22So, have a look at this.
29:23This is the Marine Impact Plan,
29:25which mysteriously got signed off by council.
29:28Incomplete.
29:30What's this?
29:31Evidence.
29:32The fruits of my citizen journalism and some Turkish delight.
29:35If you'd like some.
29:36It's Reggie's favourite.
29:37Oh, God, it's beautiful.
29:40No.
29:41Yeah?
29:42No?
29:43No, we will leave you to the Turkish delight for now.
29:49I'm downloading all the historical data from that tracker you found on the boat.
29:54That's a lot of shark tracking data.
29:56I don't mind.
29:57Oh, and then we're going to go to the gym.
29:58He kept me up all last night trying to figure out why wouldn't he bring shorts.
30:02Oh, what's that?
30:04That's all their research.
30:05They have to make it accessible, or at least they did until they took the whole thing private.
30:10Strict marine curfews, but, you know, there they are on the boat, you know, clandestine
30:15meetings.
30:16Um, that's all the accounts.
30:18How'd you get their accounts?
30:19I am not allowed to reveal my sources.
30:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what, wait, what, what, what?
30:28What was that about clandestine meetings?
30:30Finally, someone wants to do their job.
30:34Damo was there a few weeks ago taking photographs.
30:38Look who he saw down at the dock.
30:40Asha and Brian.
30:41Mm.
30:44And it looks like they were more than just colleagues.
30:46You know, he wants to be a detective one day.
30:53Felix?
30:53If you're looking for a protégé.
30:56If you're staying, I mean.
30:58Colin, stop asking me if I'm staying.
31:00You okay?
31:00Stop asking me if I'm okay.
31:02Literally the first time I've asked you.
31:03I don't know if I'm staying.
31:03Yes, I'm okay.
31:04And Felix, well, if you're serious, you'll come to me.
31:06Mm.
31:07Ooh.
31:09Ooh.
31:10Ooh.
31:10Did you take your uniform home?
31:12Oh, dear.
31:14Emma.
31:14Okay.
31:18Thanks.
31:19Thanks for assisting us.
31:20And we will be in touch.
31:24Dismissed.
31:25Yes, ma'am.
31:25Dismissed.
31:26busy morning yep we were without a boat weren't we lots of catch-up to do thanks hon
31:52doesn't that let the water in sure does a few years ago white shark she politely asked me to
32:01leave her territory you're attacked bitten why not buy a new wetsuit because wearing this one
32:08is a constant reminder that the ocean belongs to its creatures and not us can you uh can you explain
32:13this can't quite make it out oh well that's you and that's brian on board the hikari
32:24looks pretty intimate were you having an affair
32:27i wouldn't call it an affair okay what would you call it a very human mistake
32:36brian was was having a tough time he was going through a traumatic divorce he came to me for
32:44comfort comfort yeah we've worked together for over 20 years most weeks i'd spend more time with
32:53him than my own husband he i'm not proud of it it happened so i ended it how did brian take it
32:59well he he put his head down and he continued to work and that's all i care about did your husband
33:07know of course i knew i'm not an idiot she was taking off in her gym gear and coming back fresh
33:14as a daisy so what if his missus left him and took him to the cleaners find another woman to dry your
33:20eyes what did you do i had a conversation with him told him you don't touch another man's wallet or his
33:26wife i think you got the message did you have your hands around his throat during this conversation
33:32maybe i can't remember exactly you see the thing is craig you threaten him you choke him and then
33:41next thing he turns up dead on your boat yeah but like i already said i was nowhere near it if you
33:45want to arrest me lady do it otherwise i'm a little bit busy trying to catch up on the day you guys stole
33:50from us you know when you ransack the boat we will be back i don't know what came over me
33:58three years i've hardly seen him i barely thought about him he was a terrible husband
34:06but there's always been like this this energy between us energy oh it's pulsating
34:16and it's undeniable and for all his faults and there were plenty there was always one place
34:23but we never had any problems i mean never again that is a promise right here we go
34:33what's in there nothing yeah look at this look at this
34:37hi this is damo's blog shining a light on the truth so i found a post on damo's blog it's just a
34:46short one r.i.p nigel funeral at marigold funeral home date and time etc oh just an old mate of his
34:53i didn't realize i was back in touch so i called maive at marigold she's in my swimming group oh my
34:59gosh you would not believe how quick she moves through the water she's just had a hip replacement
35:04okay she recorded the funeral and damo spoke
35:11nigel fished these waters since he was a boy and their research took it away
35:20and when it was gone he had nothing left to live for
35:25nigel i'm gonna miss you
35:27you got me through some of the toughest times of my life the doctor said heart attack
35:34but we all know who really killed you
35:38here's what we know damo you blame shark tech for the death of your friend you bet i blame them
35:44it's their fault drum lines everywhere huge increase in sharks in the fisheries half the catch gone
35:50so you've got a motive you admitted to sneaking into the dock well public land should be was that
35:57a dry run were you going to figure out how you're going to do it just answer them nothing happened
36:04yeah i i snuck in a couple of days ago i i went to the announcement yesterday i asked my questions and
36:11then i went to work i mean sure i want to stop shark tech but but he's dead and they're still full steam
36:17ahead i couldn't have done it anyway i've never even been on that boat
36:24and he's right we know he didn't get on the boat the day of the murder we've seen the cctv
36:29we know that nobody got on the boat other than brian and he was alive when he did and the other
36:34three sharp tech suspects well they're all on dry land while he was murdered out at sea
36:51why are you staring at me well just normally when you go quiet it's because you're about to solve it
36:57how'd you go at the gym nothing empty locker no shorts no nothing staff at the front desk confirmed
37:05he's there a bit but never uses the actual gym uh you know who else is a member though asha svensson
37:13and she comes back from the gym fresh as a daisy according to craig so why are they both going to a
37:20gym that they don't use do you have the shark tech accounts uh yep i haven't been through them properly
37:28uh i've been deep in data from that tracker we found on the boat it's all a bit weird it's not making
37:33sense try checking them against the published shark tech figures i'll work it out p and t marine maintenance
37:42glenn got a little slap in the face from a piece torn fabric on the awning so so so they are apparently
37:49spending thousands of dollars on boat maintenance but they didn't fix that torn fabric so where's the
37:54money going blackmail exactly where'd see asha again just go and get her oh hang on before you do
38:12why didn't you fix the fabric on the awning of the hakari on our budget you're kidding me
38:19so brian was blackmailing her there's no other explanation money for p and t boat maintenance
38:27not being spent on fixing the boat but rather being taken out in cash by asha she couldn't just
38:32be embezzling it she was going to the gym she was coming back fresh as a daisy yeah i think she's
38:39going to the gym putting that money in brian's locker brian never went to the gym because of his
38:45heart condition is picking it up i mean the man doesn't even have shorts i mean it doesn't change
38:53the facts he was murdered in the middle of the ocean whilst ash is back at the lab with susie and
38:58craig i mean how could she it's discolored glenn got slapped the fabric slapped glenn yes you've mentioned
39:07that but then when brian got on do you have the cctv yes there it's not torn what's not fabric the
39:20fabric on the awning but if it's not torn and that's ashes tank then the only way that's possible is
39:32what are you talking about
39:48oh that's bold what's bold come on colin where are you going
40:02the timeline was so tight it couldn't be too far from the lab or they'd never make it back in time
40:12what couldn't be too far that sweet lord above that is bold
40:33a quiet morning at the beach it's what the uh good people of dolphin cove were enjoying until
40:42the hikari came chugging ashore with the body of brian chandler on board
40:48looking for all the world like a tragic but unsurprising death of a man with a heart condition but
40:55brian chandler was murdered gassed with hydrogen sulfide held his face on a cloth somehow he sailed
41:05that boat out to sea alive and came ashore dead alone the whole time how is that possible
41:13i will get to that because to understand the how we have to understand the why craig you attacked brian for
41:19an affair he was having with your wife asher at least that's what you assumed it was why wouldn't
41:24you that's what it looked like to us too in damo's photographs and it is what you told us asher
41:31damo's aim was to capture some evidence that could sink shark tech turns out he did
41:38but it wasn't an affair what those photographs captured was a threat brian was blackmailing you
41:44you couldn't pay him out of your own pocket the money it had to come through shark tech but there's
41:50not really a budget line for blackmail but there is for thousands of dollars of boat maintenance
41:56which is weird when you couldn't afford to fix a bit of torn fabric on the awning of the hikari
42:01but why why was brian blackmailing you the answer felix tracking beacon 427
42:10according to your published data that track has been in a white shark for the last two years when
42:15constable wilkinson downloaded the actual raw data trying to correlate it with what you published
42:19well where had it been felix on the boat the whole time you were faking your data and brian
42:25figured it out and with a brutal divorce to pay for he was squeezing you i didn't kill him
42:32i will get to that because the question we couldn't answer was how could brian be murdered
42:39when he was on a boat alone in the middle of the ocean when we looked at the cctv we assumed
42:47it was brian on the boat but it wasn't was it asha
42:54cap on same jacket trolley as a cover knowing the cameras were far away you assumed that no one
42:59would be able to tell that it was a different person or and this is the really bold part that it was
43:05a different boat
43:10there were two boats used in this murder the hikari that brian sailed away and came ashore on and a
43:16second boat the boat on the cctv the boat that you asher sailed away from the dock at 10 38 disguised
43:22as brian the boats were made up to look are almost identical but with one small difference the fabric on
43:30the awning of the hikari is torn and on the decoy boat pristine brian sailed away on the real boat the
43:38hikari which you drove him to that was tied up at another dock but waiting on board hiding was your
43:45accomplice protecting themselves from the deadly hydrogen sulfide in scuba gear then it was easy
43:52enough for the killer to escape over the side leaving brian dead on board and the hikari sailing
43:57out to sea meanwhile ash is driving that boat back to where we found it picking up the killer from the
44:04water along the way that is an audacious plan that made it look like brian was killed out on the water
44:10while the killers were on dry land it was a watertight alibi does that sound about right susie
44:16what you knew about the blackmail i mean you're across everything in that lab you know where the
44:24money's going you hated brian you took your dream of being on the water away from you
44:31but most importantly you idolize asha your career is tethered to her research
44:39she goes down so do you and i think that you would do anything to stop that happening
44:46i was here the whole time you left the press conference early we saw you on the footage online
44:53to go to the lab to wait for brian on the boat wearing ash's scuba gear since you don't have any
44:59because they won't ensure you to be on the water and it's ash's tank that's discolored from the gas
45:04sorry this is the most ridiculous story i've ever heard
45:08yeah yeah probably is isn't it
45:18oh it did sound convincing though just for just for a moment
45:24although and just humor me here for a minute we know whoever killed brian was wearing ash's wetsuit
45:28and whoever was wearing ash's wetsuit is going to have irritated skin from the one place that the gas
45:32could get to which is the holes in the arms from where she was bitten by a shark
45:38and she doesn't have them he doesn't have them he doesn't have them either so would you mind
45:44rolling up your sleeve okay constable wilkinson
45:49may i excuse your fingers
46:05susie human
46:08asha svensson
46:11everything i've worked for gone i never should have trusted you with anything
46:16you're under arrest for the murder of brian chandler he didn't have to say anything
46:33you're under arrest for the murder of brian chandler
46:47two boats
46:49bold
46:50yeah
46:52yep
46:55very bold
46:56what i said at the engagement party
47:05it was an emotional moment you were leaving and
47:10yes i said it i felt it even
47:17but it's not
47:21we had our chances what i'm saying
47:26yeah we did
47:29we're getting married
47:31i know
47:34it's uh it's fantastic
47:38i mean
47:40it's not why you came back is it
47:47no
47:47that is scheduling
47:51um
47:53it's complicated but it's it's nothing to do with this
47:59which isn't a thing anyway
48:01no
48:07um
48:08i guess that is all there is to say about that then
48:11enjoy yourself
48:16yeah
48:24Hey.
48:42I knew they were no good.
48:48I'm sorry about Nigel.
48:51He was a good bloke.
48:52Yeah.
48:53He was there for me.
48:54After you left.
48:56When I didn't have anybody.
49:03I'm not a tool of the establishment, by the way.
49:06For the police.
49:08I do important work.
49:09Yeah, yeah.
49:10Of course, yeah.
49:11Help little old ladies with their parking tickets.
49:14Sure.
49:16Wow.
49:17What?
49:18Never again, Damo.
49:21Never again.
49:23What?
49:25Reg?
49:26What did I say?
49:29Reg, what did I do?
49:31It's done.
49:42I can come back.
49:45What do you mean it's done?
49:46Whatever feelings there were.
49:51It's not a thing.
49:52Can you book me on a flight?
49:53I'm afraid it's not quite that simple, D.I. Clark.
49:57So many moving parts here.
49:59Cases in varying states of flux.
50:02I'll be needing that file by the end of the day.
50:04I know you're at the pub.
50:05Nonsense.
50:06I can hear the fire crackling and the rain on the windows.
50:10And I'd say you're about a third to halfway through a pint.
50:13You're second.
50:17You're good.
50:19I always said it.
50:20Regardless, it's going to be a while before we can slot you back in.
50:23But yesterday you were running to meet me at the airport.
50:27This is the fast-paced environment of modern policing.
50:29You're at the pub.
50:30On my day off.
50:31So what?
50:32I can't come back.
50:33I'm saying that whatever's stuck you getting on that plane isn't something you just deal with overnight.
50:39Yes, it is.
50:39I just told you that.
50:41There's something in that town that you have to make your peace with.
50:45At the very least, there's no job for you here.
50:48What?
50:48So you're saying I'm stuck here?
50:51Again?
50:52I'm afraid so.
51:01To be continued...
