00:00Arrivals.
00:01You might have to wait a little longer.
00:03Didn't quite make it to the airport.
00:05I stopped to think about something.
00:07Guess that was yesterday.
00:08Aren't you meant to be in London?
00:10Is there something I should be concerned about as your senior sergeant?
00:12I heard what you said about your feelings.
00:15Is that real?
00:16We had our chance, is what I'm saying.
00:18We're getting married.
00:19I know.
00:20Now whatever's stuck you getting on that plane
00:22isn't something you just deal with overnight.
00:25What, so you're saying I'm stuck here?
00:27Again?
00:28I'm afraid so.
00:30Oh, come on, Stephanie.
00:51You love it.
00:53I know, I know. I'm so talented.
01:05And so good looking.
01:07I can't believe you're back together.
01:08Yes, neither can I.
01:09Oh, my God.
01:10There you go, my lovely.
01:11Oh, thank you.
01:12I can't do it.
01:13I can't do it.
01:14I can't do it.
01:15I can't do it.
01:16I can't do it.
01:17I know, I can't do it.
01:18You're done.
01:19Can you?
01:20Please, please, please?
01:21Can you sign, please?
01:22Oh!
01:23I cannot believe you're back together.
01:25Yes, neither can I.
01:27Oh, my God.
01:28There you go, my lovely.
01:29Oh, thank you!
01:30Oh, thank you!
01:32You want me to stay, I'll take away.
01:36I'll have to do it.
01:38I'll take away.
01:40You can't follow and I've got to fly.
01:43You went too long.
01:46See you tonight!
01:48Come on, now.
01:50Come on, now.
01:52That's it. Come on.
01:54Oh, my goodness.
02:10You looked at me and I saw a sign tonight.
02:16Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!
02:20Hey, somebody's going to get fired!
02:24Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:26I think that cable's just come loose.
02:28Awesome, awesome. First show in 20 years
02:30and no one's going to hear us sing.
02:32Forget about Luke's mic, Rob.
02:34No one wants to hear him sing anyway.
02:36You're probably right.
02:38Angel.
02:40Yeah, not working.
02:46Alright, we can tell, mate. Just fix that!
02:50I thought you said he had experience, right?
02:52The whole point of Soundshake is to iron out the kinks.
02:54Oh, ho!
02:56Yeah, just because you're satisfied with the bare minimum.
02:58True, I was with you for long enough.
03:02Okay, sorry, guys.
03:04It's going to be like 15 minutes or so.
03:06Alright!
03:08Call me when the Brains Trust has got it sorted out, alright?
03:10What a surprise!
03:14Where's he going?
03:15Don't worry about it, mate.
03:16He gets like this with tech issues.
03:18Just give him a minute while we sort out the levels.
03:26Oh, um, I left a box of cables in the front row.
03:28Can someone run them up, please?
03:34Just help him out.
03:36Steph, can you play something for us?
03:46Yeah.
04:04Jimmy, maybe swap those cables over the ones I've got there on the way out.
04:08Wait, Jimmy, maybe swap them.
04:10Yeah, I can hear you, mate.
04:14First tour in 20 years and we're going in with crappy gear.
04:16I've never had any issues with it.
04:18Well, I've never had any issues with it.
04:28What do you reckon, Steph?
04:30Still a bit under.
04:33Needs a bit more go, you think?
04:35Yeah, that'd be great.
04:36Okay.
04:38Doing it now.
04:42How you going over there, Jimmy?
04:46Jimmy?
04:48You okay?
04:53Okay.
04:55We have nearly cracked it.
04:56How's that?
05:01Perfect.
05:05Got there in the end.
05:09Okay.
05:10I am ready when you guys are.
05:14Who's game to go and get Luke?
05:18He's your brother.
05:19Okay.
05:28Put the bottle away, mate.
05:29Sounds sorted.
05:34Luke.
05:49Luke.
06:14Victim?
06:15Luke Claiborne, lead singer of Point Rowan.
06:17Our joint lead singer with Stephanie.
06:20I didn't know Point Rowan was still around.
06:21I thought they hated each other.
06:22Oh, that is an oversimplification of a complicated dialogue.
06:26It was their first show in 20 years.
06:28They're on stage doing soundcheck.
06:30And they chose Dolphin Cove for their first show back.
06:33Mackenzie and Clark.
06:35Not my middle name.
06:36How can a daughter of this town not know
06:39this is the birthplace of Point Ruin.
06:42We are on the cover-up.
06:44Luke.
06:45In misery.
06:47So Luke Claiborne wasn't happy to be back?
06:49He was being tongue-in-cheek.
06:51Besides, what else would he be doing?
06:53They're only really famous for that song from the Lou Roll commercial.
06:57You need to throw him off the case.
06:58What have we got?
07:06One force trauma.
07:07With that, his guitar.
07:09Looks like any prints are wiped off, but we're working on it.
07:13Back of the head?
07:14Yeah.
07:15Any defensive marks?
07:16Not visible.
07:17Okay.
07:18So, hit from behind by someone he didn't expect.
07:23Or he turns to flee.
07:30Fluff.
07:36Oh.
07:37From what?
07:38From that.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Hmm.
07:41He was wearing headphones when he was attacked.
07:42Explains why he didn't hear his killer.
07:43I had one of those.
07:44Back in high school.
07:45Yeah.
07:46I remember.
07:47What was he listening to?
07:50Empty.
07:51Where's the tape?
07:52I haven't seen it.
07:53I haven't seen it.
07:54I haven't seen it.
07:56I haven't seen it.
07:57I haven't seen it.
07:58Nooo
08:04What was he listening to?
08:08Empty.
08:10Where's the tape?
08:11Uh...
08:12I haven't seen it.
08:13So the killer took it?
08:15Why?
08:17Um, who was in the ведirder?
08:19Just the band.
08:20Without Luke and nothing.
08:21He—he was my other half.
08:25He was my other half.
08:27I loved him.
08:31Didn't you push him off stage once?
08:34Twice.
08:36Our relationship was complex.
08:40Deeper than maybe you can understand.
08:42Do you know anyone that might want to hurt him?
08:45Anybody who's ever tried to write a song.
08:49Incredible tunes just flowed out of him when he was old.
08:53I thought it wasn't in his band.
08:55Not that I hated him.
08:56I was in his band and sometimes I did.
09:00Guess it's what you're most known for.
09:02Other than the toilet roll advert.
09:04I...
09:04You mean the fighting, the breakups, the rehab, the reunions, the breakups.
09:11Again, if it was so fractious, why, why reform?
09:19Ovarian cancer.
09:21I'm sorry to hear that.
09:23Yes.
09:23Too late for treatment.
09:25But I'm still feeling good.
09:27Steph laid it out for us.
09:29It was an hour and hour.
09:32Um, can you take us through what happened this afternoon?
09:35Um, soundcheck started a bit before four.
09:39Sorry, what's your role exactly?
09:42Oh, soundtech.
09:44And tour manager.
09:45And the works.
09:47Rob.
09:49Brisbane.
09:50Lake Stephanie.
09:50I hired my nephew, so what?
09:54We had a, we had a few sound issues, but it was fine, I was managing it.
09:57Come on, the sound was a mess.
10:00That's why Luke walked off.
10:02Nothing that set him off like bad sound.
10:04And he couldn't go half an hour without a whiskey.
10:07That's an exaggeration.
10:08What time did he walk off?
10:10A few minutes past four.
10:12And you three, you were in the theatre.
10:14Yep.
10:15You, you two on stage.
10:17Actually, I was in the booth giving Rob a hand.
10:20Wrangling cables like a work experience kid.
10:23Steph was on piano to get the levels right.
10:26Playing perfectly as ever.
10:28Putting us all to shame.
10:29Valentine's Day.
10:32It's always been my favourite.
10:35Mine too.
10:38Oh, sorry.
10:41And then, then I had to, um, go and get him, didn't I?
10:48And there he was.
10:52Hmm.
10:54At what time was that?
10:57Sorry.
10:58Um.
10:58Five plus four.
11:00I don't know exactly.
11:01No one else came into the theatre?
11:03Point Ruin sound checks are always banned only.
11:08Did you, did you see Luke with a Walkman?
11:11Or a tape, a cassette tape?
11:13No.
11:15Is this relevant?
11:16I haven't seen him with a tape since 95.
11:23So, the famously volatile Point Ruin are back in Dolphin Cove.
11:28Where it all began.
11:29And before they could even get on stage, Luke's dead.
11:34How would someone get in here?
11:35Uh, front door or back loading bay.
11:37Both locked.
11:39Uh, heaps of fans at the back.
11:40Yeah, bereft, most of them.
11:42They can't believe it.
11:43No one saw anyone come in or out.
11:46Is that it?
11:47Uh, a fire door in the corridor leads to the side lane.
11:50You can only open it up from the inside.
11:51So, looks like it was one of the three in the theatre.
11:58But how?
12:01None of them left the theatre.
12:03They've essentially all alibied each other.
12:05Yet, somehow, one of them killed Luke Claiborne with his own guitar.
12:11Impossible.
12:12So you'd think.
12:28Point Ruin takes me back to the early 90s.
12:31What are you talking about?
12:33They were big in the 2000s.
12:35Well, granted, their high point was their second album.
12:38Sanctuary.
12:38Sanctuary, 1990, with their biggest tip, Valentine's Day.
12:43Luke.
12:44Signed.
12:45That's probably worth a fortune now with Luke gone and Stephanie's sick.
12:49Tonight, they were meant to reunite on stage,
12:51but someone killed Luke Claiborne before they got the chance.
12:55Sorry about this.
12:55I've got the media liaison.
12:57Press release.
12:58Again?
12:59Well, this is point Ruin.
13:01This is high profile.
13:02And just, let's just have a tight ship on this one, everyone.
13:06No one's speaking to anyone.
13:08Everything comes through me.
13:10I don't want any wild rumours going round.
13:13What rumour could be wilder than Luke potentially being murdered by his bandmates?
13:18Oh, you would be surprised.
13:20There was no shortage of them.
13:21Luke and Steph, a fiery love story for the ages.
13:25They broke up?
13:26Yeah, all the time.
13:27They haven't been together for about 20 years.
13:30Why?
13:30Well, it depends who you ask.
13:32Some say he cheated, some say she did.
13:35Was she on drugs?
13:36Was he drinking too much?
13:37You never got the truth with point Ruin.
13:39You only get the songs.
13:40Or, the messages.
13:43These were deleted from Luke's phone.
13:45I'll be looking at them.
13:46Come to the theatre tomorrow after soundcheck.
13:49Four o'clock.
13:50Door in lane will be open.
13:51They reply, see you then.
13:54So whoever this was, was planning on meeting Luke after soundcheck?
13:58The number belongs to Claire Barnard.
14:01She's in Dolphin Cove.
14:03Miss Barnard?
14:04The music teacher?
14:05Oh yeah, well that makes sense.
14:07Why does that make sense?
14:09Because she used to be in point Ruin.
14:11What?
14:12She got chucked out.
14:13It was very bitter.
14:15Oh, I'm sorry.
14:17I thought everyone knew that.
14:18No?
14:19Really?
14:20Really?
14:20Come on, Colin.
14:22Oh.
14:25Oh, Luke.
14:38Thanks everyone.
14:40That last song was for my late ex-collaborator Luke Clybourne.
14:45Wherever you are, hope the whiskey's rye, mate.
14:48Thanks.
14:50Miss Barnard.
14:55Mackenzie Clark.
14:56Well, I heard you were back.
14:58What was your meeting with Luke Clybourne about?
15:01Never were one for chat, were you?
15:03No idea.
15:05He messaged me out of the blue, said he wanted to meet.
15:08I thought, why not?
15:09Maybe he wants to apologise.
15:10Because he kicked you out of the band?
15:12We wanted to go down different paths, musically speaking.
15:15Oh.
15:16He wanted to make records and you wanted to teach kids hot cross buns on the recorder.
15:22Oh.
15:22Uh, yeah.
15:24Well, there's more to life than fame and success.
15:26Since Point Ruin only ever had a little of each, I never really lost any sleep over it.
15:31What about their second album?
15:32That was successful.
15:34Sanctuary.
15:34Yeah, that whole album came out of one amazing weekend, actually.
15:40Just the four of us.
15:42And that old shack over on the headland, Luke writing all the songs and us all recording the demo.
15:47Here in Dolphin Cove.
15:49When was that?
15:5089.
15:52Steph was just back from rehab.
15:54No one had seen her in a month.
15:55She was transformed.
15:57And that whole weekend was true alchemy.
16:00The best songs of our careers.
16:03But you're not on the album credits.
16:05No.
16:05Well, you know, I, um, I decided to leave the band at the end of that weekend.
16:11And Luke went on a bender and lost the demo.
16:14So the band recorded it all again from scratch and, uh, yeah, I wasn't there.
16:21Is that what Luke wanted to talk about?
16:23Old times.
16:25No idea.
16:26I never made it to the theatre.
16:28Why not?
16:29It was a lamppost.
16:31Austin Street, around four.
16:33Uh, anyone see it?
16:36Everyone.
16:37If you've seen, unfortunately, I'm sure they'll all remember.
16:43You seem nervous.
16:44Well, you know, I'm still a bit shaken.
16:48We're going to check your story, so don't go anywhere.
16:52You know, you had such a beautiful voice at school, Mackenzie.
16:57Pity he had the rhythm of a bag of grapes.
17:01Oh, you can't drive that.
17:03Why not?
17:04No, it's not roadworthy.
17:05I'll have to give you an infringement notice.
17:06Oh, call a cab.
17:15A bit?
17:16A bit petty?
17:17I do.
17:18I have rhythm.
17:20Was that Miss Barnard?
17:21Did you know she used to be part of Point Ruin?
17:23Really?
17:25But she's so uncool.
17:27Whilst I got you, I would be delighted to attend yours and Daisy's wedding.
17:32Great.
17:34The invitations are lovely.
17:35What are they, embossed?
17:37Ah, letterpress.
17:38Oh, classy.
17:39And handwritten envelopes.
17:41Reggie reckons calligraphy is a dying art.
17:44Her and Felix can't wait.
17:45Okay then, I'll leave you to it.
18:02Felix.
18:03Felix?
18:04I've been going through Luke's core records and a couple of days ago he ranked quite a few different numbers.
18:09Some people he never met before.
18:10And?
18:11They're all drummers.
18:15Luke was trying to replace you.
18:30He was calling drummers.
18:33Must have learned something else.
18:35One of his side projects.
18:37So I've got a few going on.
18:38Yeah, he was checking dates for the Point Ruin tour.
18:42Why would he want to replace me?
18:44Maybe it has something to do with your arthritis.
18:49That's to squeeze, doesn't it?
18:51Cold water.
18:52Good for inflammation.
18:55You can just get a warrant for your medical records.
18:58One weekend of rehearsals, he told me he wanted to replace me.
19:02Said I wasn't up to the level anymore.
19:04Nonsense.
19:04All those years waiting to get back together and then your own brother's going to replace you with a different drummer.
19:11Yeah.
19:12Said I could do one more gig.
19:14You had form as well.
19:17Kicking people up the bunt.
19:18Claire Barnard?
19:19What'd she tell you?
19:21That it was mutual.
19:24Unlikely.
19:25Luke just kicked her out overnight.
19:27One minute we were playing the hards off and the next she's gone.
19:30She hung around at gigs for years, mooning at Luke.
19:33Didn't even acknowledge her.
19:34Brutal.
19:35It's just who he was.
19:36Luke Clybourne, voice of a generation.
19:39I shared a bedroom with him for nine years.
19:40I knew the real Luke.
19:41He had no respect for this band.
19:47And the way he treated Steph was awful.
19:50She was his wife.
19:51What?
19:53Luke and Steph were married.
19:57How's he getting married?
19:58Keeping it a secret from everyone.
20:01First thing tomorrow, we need to find out if they are still married.
20:04If there's no will, she gets it all.
20:09We on?
20:11Trivia night.
20:12You gonna join us?
20:14Oh.
20:14Uh, uh.
20:17Look, that might not be the best idea.
20:19Why not?
20:20You're smart.
20:22I am extremely smart.
20:23However.
20:24Yes, on occasions I've got competitive and shouted at my teammates.
20:29Abused them, really.
20:30Yes, but who doesn't know the capital of Honduras?
20:34Tegucigalpa.
20:36Okay, only one giant nerd per trivia table.
20:39Sorry, those are the balls.
20:40I'll go get us a form.
20:43Uh, think of a witty team name and get up to birth, death and marriages first thing in the morning.
20:49Birth, death and marriages?
20:50Yeah.
20:51Um, Steph and Luke from Point Rowan.
20:52They were married.
20:53Did I know that?
20:56No one did, apparently.
20:58I mean, they argued all the time.
20:59They broke up constantly.
21:00She pushed him off stage.
21:02Twice.
21:02I mean, why did they get married?
21:04They made great music.
21:06Must have been something there.
21:07Thank you for your kindness, by the way.
21:16Sparing me a wedding nightmare.
21:20What?
21:20Not inviting me to yours.
21:25Obviously, it would have been incredibly weird to have me there.
21:29I mean, unpleasant, really, for both of us.
21:30For me, especially, because I really hate weddings and talk with boring relatives.
21:36It was not for me.
21:38I did invite you.
21:40Hmm?
21:42I'm not sparing you that nightmare.
21:43You're invited.
21:44No, Glenn, no.
21:46Um, you don't have to invite me.
21:49I am happy not to go.
21:51I'm not inviting you now.
21:52I did invite you.
21:54We posted the invitation.
21:57Yeah.
21:59Ah.
22:00Well, you know, when I said, um, nightmare, I didn't mean, you know, nightmare, nightmare,
22:07because, um, well, a nightmare, it's a type of dream, isn't it?
22:11La Triviata?
22:12Hmm.
22:13One of my best.
22:14I think you'll agree.
22:17Goodbye.
22:18And good luck.
22:20Um, maybe you didn't hear me, but I've called us La Triviata.
22:25No, yeah.
22:26Good one, Colin.
22:27Yeah?
22:28Yes, definitely.
22:30Oh, uh, nightmare did have a dream, isn't it?
22:42No.
22:51No, no, he didn't.
23:00Excuse me, buddy.
23:12I think this is meant for me.
23:14No, no, he didn't.
23:30A flying south back home and alone, you'll stay here, content not known, the rain has
23:42stopped and you're finally asleep, I'll go quietly, don't watch me leave, don't watch
23:53Mackenzie? Hi. Hi. Hello. Hi. What time is it?
24:07Er, ten past eight. Tomorrow? Today now, but yes. Point Gruin, I'm guessing?
24:16I found some of Mum's old tapes. Sanctuary. I was listening on the way over here. Valentine's
24:21Day is a banger. Oh, how nice are these? Letterpress. Blimey, what happened to this?
24:30Snails. They're a menace. Absolutely destroyed the basil I've got growing on my balcony at
24:36my place, overlooking the car park. And to actually buy pesto. It's gonna be a lovely day. Have
24:43you RSVP'd yet? I...
24:48Don't know. Okay. And now, I'm going to get ready for work. Not getting any less weird.
25:15Hi. Yeah, that's right. Cartwright. No, no, no, no. Don't search me. Don't... On hold again.
25:26That cassette turn up yet? Er, not yet. Not ever. We searched the whole theatre, but I do
25:32have Luke's royalty statements. Wow. We should all be writing toilet paper commercials.
25:39So, what's that tell us? Luke is worth a lot of money? Mm-hmm. And since we can find
25:43no trace of a will, the person who stands to inherit is his wife. Er, oh, and we took witness
25:48statements at the Austin Street shops. Claire Barnard definitely pranked her car and was
25:53on the phone for an hour or so after. I still got to talk to Tyler in the sports shop. That
25:57looks pretty solid. And I popped into DC Records on our canvassing, too, and you should've seen
26:02the crowd. Varian had a whole point ruined display and there was memorabilia, rarities,
26:06the works, just sort of walking out the door. No way. This is what just came on the whole
26:12music. Huh? Classic.
26:16You can't follow and I've got to fly. Your wings are too weak. You know this piece? Yeah.
26:22Yeah. And? And I need the sky. A little bit higher? Oh, yeah. And I need the sky.
26:28It's gotta be too high. Yeah. I, er, really want to buy some Louvre on there. Come on.
26:33It's beautiful. The little bird. Your wings are too weak. I need the sky. R.I.P. Luke,
26:38you were a genius. Come on, Phil. And I don't want to leave you. Here it comes. It's
26:45Valentine's Day and I'm saying, leave the line. Whoop!
26:51Are you there? Oh. Hello. Hello? Yep. No, he's still here. No way. Well, I, I, I, I,
26:58I mean, that's great. Can you send that over? Cheers. Thank you. Well, you're right. Marriage
27:04took place in 1988. No record of a divorce. They're still married. We meant more to each
27:14other than any piece of paper could ever convey. Still, it's all yours. What's that then? Some
27:23vintage records and a bunch of guitar picks. You earned somewhere in the ballpark of 1.4
27:29million in royalties for Valentine's Day. Higher than I would have thought. Luke never
27:36shared that number with you? Luke was, kept that sort of thing to himself. You didn't get
27:50a share? Why would I? He wrote it. He deserved it. Look, why would I care about the money? Who
27:59knows? Could be dead in a month. No one to leave it to. Did you know that Luke was back in
28:07contact with Claire Barnard? You weren't angry or jealous? I didn't know. Claire and I
28:17weren't rivals. If I was going to kill him, I would have done it ages ago. He's given me
28:24plenty of reasons to over the years. I think that's what I'll miss the most.
28:30Hating him. I never hated him. I'll miss the energy between us. This was it. Our last chance
28:42to play together, to share some of that magic again before it. Instead, we're wasting our
28:51time talking to you when anyone with a brain could tell you that none of us could have done
28:55it. The stage, the sound booth, right there. We were all right in front of each other.
29:11So, Steph's there playing Valentine's Day. Rob here. And Jimmy. With the cables. Could one
29:21of us get to the green room? Maybe. If you were quick. Hmm. Not without being seen.
29:28Not without being seen.
29:47Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing? Just don't touch that.
29:51Touch that. What's that? What's that from? What's that from? Is that tape?
29:59Yeah, I use it to mark my levels. How long have you been doing this?
30:05Not that long. Did a few of Steph's solo gigs. And now your aunt's band's reunion tour.
30:12Well, I studied audio engineering, so I know what I'm doing.
30:16Hmm. Still. It's a big step up though, isn't it?
30:19Maybe. Doing my best.
30:23Ooh. Results have come in at the lab.
30:35Thank you for showing us around.
30:37Cranio-cerebral trauma resulting in deep contusions, skull fracture and internal hemorrhage.
30:50Guitar's definitely the murder weapon.
30:54That's it?
30:55Pretty much.
30:57He had psoriasis, if that's of interest.
31:00On his elbows, the alcohol would have made it flare up, but didn't kill him, obviously.
31:05I think it's important at this point to reveal this.
31:16I told you. Where was it?
31:19Garden, obviously.
31:22Snails?
31:23Mm-hmm.
31:24Don't show Daisy. Those things were like $7 each.
31:27Oh, they are very nice.
31:28I know it's a nightmare. You hate weddings. My relatives are boring.
31:33I... I didn't say your relatives. Just relatives in general.
31:38If you could cope, we'd love to have you.
31:42Um... that's... that, uh...
31:47That's really kind.
31:49So... do I tick you off?
31:54That's the second journo today.
31:57We all okay here?
31:58Yes!
32:00Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no.
32:04Uh, psoriasis. Any arthritis like his brother?
32:07None, but the two conditions can be linked.
32:09Mm.
32:12Cheerio, then.
32:17Getting the impression that Luke was a bit of a bully.
32:24Mm. What would you kill for that?
32:27Steph inherited it all. Motive for sure.
32:30Yeah.
32:32Still...
32:34They were all in that theatre. All of them busy.
32:36No way for any of them to get backstage.
32:39We still don't know where that tape went.
32:41If there even was a tape.
32:47Of course.
32:49It's growing in me.
33:00Leave a bloody feather by your pillow to remind you...
33:04What...
33:08Leave a bloody feather by your pillow to remind you...
33:13What happened to you...
33:14He was scratching.
33:16Who... who was?
33:19I need to see some birds.
33:23Told you you'd get into ornithology.
33:25Red feathers.
33:30Red feathers.
33:32Leave a bloody feather.
33:34Valentine's Day.
33:36And I don't want to leave you.
33:38I still don't know why we're doing this.
33:39A hunch.
33:41Oh, look at that little fella.
33:43Rimsby Town colours.
33:45That is a male Scarlet Robin.
33:47Robin.
33:49It's what Rob's short for, right?
33:51Yes, Robin Stephen Brisbane.
33:53Uh-huh.
33:54Do you know about his mother, Steph's sister?
33:57Uh... Penny Brisbane.
33:59Lives in Orange. Rob's our only child.
34:01Father?
34:03None listed on the birth certificate.
34:05No, there wouldn't be.
34:07Don't want to leave you.
34:09Your wings are too weak and I need the sky.
34:11Robin. Stephen. Brisbane.
34:13Felix, what's his date of birth?
34:1514th of February, 1989.
34:18Valentine's Day.
34:20And I'm saying goodbye.
34:21Steph disappears late 88.
34:23No one sees her or hears from her for three or four months.
34:26Claire said she was in rehab, remember?
34:28She gets out of rehab early 1989 just after Rob is born.
34:32She's his mother.
34:34Then, Point Bruin have a magical weekend and Luke writes Valentine's Day, a song about saying goodbye and leaving a Robin's feather behind.
34:42And he's the father.
34:44Who knew?
34:46At the time, only me and Luke.
34:52That weekend, we recorded the demo in Dolphin Cove. I told the others I'd just come back from rehab.
34:57When in reality you were in orange with your sister, pregnant.
35:03Steph told me, right before they announced the reunion tour, she was dying and she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
35:14It was a shock.
35:15It was time the truth came out.
35:19Rob coming with us on tour, giving him a chance to get to know his father.
35:25A reason for them to spend time together.
35:28Weren't you angry?
35:30At first, yeah.
35:32They lied to me.
35:34But it's not like Steph abandoned me, I'd hurt Mum.
35:37Hmm.
35:39But not your dad.
35:41We'd just released the first album, we were gaining traction and we needed to capitalise on it.
35:47You can't take a baby on the road.
35:50Luke made that very clear.
35:52He wanted nothing to do with Robin.
35:54The rest was up to me.
35:57So you chose Luke and your career over your child?
36:02I did everything I could to let him know he was loved.
36:09What do you mean by that?
36:12I was a part of his life. I still am.
36:15Do I wish it was different? Yes.
36:17But I can't change it.
36:18All I can do is try to make it up to him.
36:21By making him the workhorse for the band.
36:23I wanted it that way.
36:25No special treatment.
36:27Did Luke know who you really were?
36:28That you were his son?
36:30Of course he knew.
36:32But he never acknowledged it.
36:35Luke didn't want anyone to know.
36:38Luke Clyde want untethered, a free spirit.
36:41But he wrote Valentine's Day.
36:44Oh, it's beautiful.
36:46He's always a better musician than he was a human being.
36:49He's full of regret.
36:52And grief.
36:55It's his apology to your son.
36:58It wasn't his apology.
36:59It was his excuse.
37:03I think Luke was just a messed up guy, couldn't handle his feelings.
37:07Hm.
37:09What about your feelings?
37:11Being treated like that by your father.
37:15He rejected you as a baby.
37:17He let you live your entire life, not knowing who your father was.
37:21Not even trying to have a relationship with you.
37:24I didn't need him.
37:25And then when you and Steph tried to give him the chance to reconnect, he didn't want to know.
37:29Your own father.
37:30He wasn't my father.
37:31He did me a favour showing me who he really was.
37:34I never got anything from him, and I never wanted it.
37:41Some people just aren't meant to be fathers.
37:46Luke denied his existence, denied him a family, and then humiliated him.
37:52Is he angry about it? Of course he is.
37:55But what does he gain?
37:57Revenge.
37:58Justice even.
38:00There is still no way he could get to the green room without being seen.
38:03None of them in the theatre could, and Claire had no time.
38:06And we are still missing a tape.
38:08Everyone!
38:10In here right now!
38:11Did I not stand before you yesterday and tell you to keep your mouth shut about this case?
38:21Uh, yeah?
38:23Tight ship on this one. I believe that is what I said.
38:26And that means you don't talk to anyone.
38:30And yet...
38:35Cops baffled by Point Ruin murder.
38:37It's by Clementine Clavelli.
38:40Oh, and another quote.
38:42The police have no idea how Luke would have been killed in the green room
38:46when all the suspects were together at the theatre at the time of the murder.
38:51Now who said that, that was...
38:53Viren Kumar.
38:55Dolphin Cove Records.
38:59I was reminiscing about Luke with Viren in his shop yesterday,
39:03and I might have gotten a bit loose-lipped.
39:05Yeah, I think you might have.
39:06So I'll go and have a word and get him to zip it.
39:09Yeah, no, I think we'd all appreciate that.
39:11I am sorry, everyone.
39:15In my defence, I did tell him to keep it under his hat, so...
39:19Reggie.
39:20Going. I... I'm going.
39:24Thank you, everyone.
39:27Nicely played yesterday, Mackenzie.
39:31What was that?
39:33Whatever you did to get out of the wedding.
39:36Oh.
39:37Uh, no.
39:38I didn't.
39:39I mean, I love my son.
39:40I want him to be happy.
39:41But that wedding, it has turned into an extravaganza.
39:45I just can't wait till it's over.
39:46They've got the happily ever after, and I am in a quiet room with a gin and tonic.
39:52Yeah.
39:56So you...
39:58You think it's the right thing for me not to be there?
40:00I thought you didn't want to be there.
40:02I thought you didn't want to be there.
40:03Yeah.
40:04I just...
40:08Hypothetically, if a person like me was to go to the wedding of a person like Glen, what
40:21would that mean?
40:23I expect it would mean...
40:26They were gracious.
40:29And supported the person who at one time meant a great deal to that person.
40:34Hypothetically.
40:38So it would be okay for this person to go?
40:43As long as this person didn't ruin it again.
40:46Mac?
40:52Have a look at this.
40:58Noise complaint from the lady that lives next to Luke.
41:01The local station sent it over.
41:02What happened?
41:04A woman outside his house, banging on the windows, threatening him.
41:08Went on for a couple of hours.
41:10Not the first time she's been there, apparently.
41:12Who was it?
41:13Well, yeah, they never found out.
41:15But the neighbour said the woman was wearing a black hat.
41:19Claire Barnard?
41:21She didn't used to be obsessed with him.
41:23She's stalking him now.
41:25But she was crashing her car down Austin Street at the same time.
41:29She couldn't have got to the theatre.
41:36It's Felix.
41:38Felix?
41:39She could have got to the theatre.
41:41Claire Barnard.
41:42I went back to Austin Street to talk to Tyler in the sports shop.
41:45His electric car was parked right across the road.
41:48The cameras?
41:49They filmed everything.
41:50And I watched the footage back.
41:52And I reckon there's a gap where we can't account for her.
41:55How long?
41:5620 minutes.
41:58Is that enough time for her to get to the theatre and back?
42:00If you run.
42:02All I wanted was a chance to be back in the band.
42:07This isn't about the band.
42:09It's stalking.
42:11Stalking?
42:12Come on, we were old friends.
42:17You hung around at their gigs for years after they sacked you.
42:21Isn't that right?
42:22Yeah.
42:23To show my support.
42:24You were obsessed with Luke showing up at his house and he ends up dead.
42:28Except I never got to the theatre.
42:31I crashed my car, remember?
42:33There is a gap in your alibi.
42:3420 minutes.
42:35That's enough time to get to the theatre and murder Luke.
42:36Is that what happened?
42:38Alright, so you honestly think I could just walk away from a car accident, kill Luke and then just waltz back like nothing happened?
42:45I think you wouldn't miss the chance to be in the same room as Luke after all these years and that you built out what that meeting might mean in your mind and maybe he rejected you and then the anger overtook you.
42:58No. No, alright?
43:00Look, I loved Luke.
43:02Okay, fine, hang me for it.
43:04I could never hurt him.
43:06Anyway, it doesn't matter because I never went anywhere near that theatre.
43:09So, I gave Viren one of the old Ms Rocco talking to's. He was very apologetic. He let me in on a little secret by way of apology. Guess who was in his shop a couple of weeks ago? Luke Clybourne. Very incognito, didn't want anyone to know.
43:31Doing what?
43:32Viren's a huge point. Ruin fan, he's got boxes of memorabilia. Luke was in town for rehearsal and he was dropping by his old haunts and he went in and bought a few things.
43:41So, what are we thinking?
43:43It all fits with Claire.
43:45But why would she do it?
43:47She was obsessed with him.
43:50She said she was never here.
43:54Yes, but she doesn't have an alibi.
43:56Hmm, okay, okay, okay. So, say Claire is lying and she did. She made it to the thing.
44:02If Claire did make it to the theatre, then someone would have seen or heard something.
44:10You're Stephanie, you're on stage, you're playing the piano, we'll imagine it.
44:14Jimmy, Rob, sound booth.
44:17Jimmy's helping Rob with the cables.
44:21Ooh!
44:23Not bad.
44:24I had lessons for years.
44:25So, if Claire did make it to the theatre.
44:30Sorry.
44:32That key's broken.
44:34Yeah, can you avoid that one? Because it's killing the vibe.
44:38No.
44:40Don't avoid it.
44:43Play it again.
44:44Again.
44:46Again.
44:48Again.
44:50Again.
44:52Again.
44:54Again.
44:57Ah.
44:59That piano, The Weeknd.
45:02You look like I've been on a bender and lost the demo.
45:05Valentine's Day.
45:06Huh.
45:18Reggie, what did he buy?
45:19Who?
45:20Luke.
45:21At the record store. The box of Old Point Ruin memorabilia. Was it a cassette tape?
45:25How do you know?
45:27We searched the band, didn't we?
45:28Yeah.
45:29And the theatre?
45:30Yeah.
45:32So, where?
45:52There was only one place close enough.
45:57Hi, mate.
46:01What makes Point Ruin so legendary?
46:12It's the songs that could capture an era.
46:16The incredible live shows where anything could happen.
46:21But really, it's the fizzing tension between Steph and Luke.
46:27The push, pull, on, off, love, hate.
46:33That elevated Point Ruin beyond just a great band to something...
46:39magical.
46:41And that magic, it was coming back to where it all began, to Dolphin Cove.
46:47To this stage where Luke stormed off to the green room during soundcheck.
46:51Why was that again?
46:52The sound wasn't right.
46:53The sound wasn't right.
46:54The sound wasn't right.
46:55Which Luke could never stand.
46:58So Luke walked off leaving just Jimmy, Steph and Rob in the theatre together at the moment of his murder.
47:05Or were they?
47:08Felix?
47:09This is what you played, isn't it?
47:20While Jimmy was helping Rob with the sound.
47:22While Luke was being murdered.
47:23The famous keyboard part to Valentine's Day.
47:26I think so.
47:27Yeah, it was.
47:29Jimmy heard it.
47:30Jimmy said that your playing was as perfect as it ever was.
47:34That's all decided.
47:35What Jimmy didn't hear was...
47:40That.
47:42A broken key.
47:44Because you weren't playing.
47:46What?
47:47Of course I was.
47:48Everyone heard me.
47:50Well you were.
47:52At least at the start.
47:53But, with Jimmy out of the way, unable to see the stage, your accomplice provided your alibi.
48:00Rob.
48:01Your son.
48:04Who faded up a recording of you playing the Valentine's Day intro to just the right volume marked with tape on the desk so it would sound seamless.
48:14Giving you the chance to sneak backstage and murder Luke with his own guitar.
48:19Hmm.
48:20But she was talking to her.
48:21Also pre-recorded and timed perfectly.
48:22What do you reckon, Steph?
48:23Still a bit under.
48:24Then you made your way back to the stage, Luke dead, and Rob faded down the recording so you could pick it up again.
48:26What Claire didn't know is that you were trying to frame her.
48:27She was the perfect candidate.
48:28Obsessed with Luke and stalking him.
48:29You sent the text to Claire so she would walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in and walk in.
48:33And look like the murderer.
48:34But Claire's car accident meant she never made it to the stage.
48:35And then you made your way back to the stage, Luke dead, and Rob faded down the recording so you could pick it up again.
48:44What Claire didn't know is that you were trying to frame her.
48:49She was the perfect candidate.
48:52Obsessed with Luke and stalking him.
48:54You sent the text to Claire so she would walk in on the body and look like the murderer.
48:59But Claire's car accident meant she never made it to the theatre.
49:03So the perfect set up.
49:06Suddenly, not so perfect.
49:08Why would I kill Luke?
49:09I loved him.
49:10Because he took something that belongs to you.
49:13Valentine's Day.
49:18You wrote it.
49:20About the most heartbreaking thing you ever did.
49:24Giving up your baby.
49:27Luke made you put the band ahead of your child.
49:30He had no interest in being a father.
49:33Why would he write such a tender goodbye?
49:38But when it came to recording it, Luke took all the credit.
49:42But why would I let him do that?
49:45Because that song broke your heart.
49:47I think you were fine with no one putting together what it was about.
49:53Or who wrote it.
49:55But then Luke sold it for a commercial.
49:59The most personal piece of art you ever made will ever make.
50:04Being used to flog toilet paper for a fortune.
50:07I'm dying.
50:08I don't need money.
50:10No, you don't.
50:11But Robin does.
50:13You abandoned him and this was your way of making it up to him.
50:17So when you found out that Luke had the one thing.
50:20The one thing that would prove that you wrote Valentine's Day.
50:23That would prove how you felt back then.
50:26What is it?
50:31The missing demo tape.
50:33From that magical weekend in Dolphin Cove, 1989.
50:39Luke found it in Viren's record store a few weeks ago.
50:43Swore Viren to secrecy.
50:45Maybe someday it'll be too long.
50:54You'll be up here beside me.
50:56Won't care I was wrong.
50:58And I don't want to leave you.
51:02I don't want to leave you.
51:06It's Valentine's Day and I'm saying goodbye.
51:16What do you think Luke?
51:18It's perfect Steph.
51:21There's nothing I can add to it.
51:23The one thing I can't figure out is how did you know about the demo tape?
51:32It's been missing for so many years.
51:34He showed me.
51:36Because the thing he loved most in this world was torturing me.
51:39Having power over me.
51:41So you took it back.
51:44And you hid it in the car before we arrived knowing that if we found it on you it would incriminate you.
51:54And you didn't need much convincing to help.
51:56Did you Rob?
51:58Not when your mum told you the truth about your dad.
52:01That he made her give you up.
52:05That he never wanted you.
52:07That he put his music before his own son.
52:11He's my son.
52:13It's my song.
52:15It's all mine.
52:16And he took it.
52:17That's what he did.
52:18Every day we were in that band.
52:20Our band.
52:21He took everything.
52:23And now you have it all back.
52:26Was it worth it?
52:28Yeah.
52:30Should have done it years ago.
52:32Stephanie Brisbane.
52:34Robin Brisbane.
52:35I'm sorry little bird.
52:37For everything I've done to you.
52:39You're under arrest for the murder of Luke Clyburn.
52:42You don't have to say or do anything.
52:43Whether you do say or do.
52:44It may be used as evidence.
52:46Just wait please.
52:48I'm sorry.
52:49I'm sorry.
52:50Your idol turned out to be a murderer.
52:51It's just another thread in the Point Ruin tapestry.
52:55And I've still got the music and that is never going to change.
52:56Shall we go for a drink?
52:57Yes.
52:58But only if there's a piano.
52:59I want to hear what this blokes got.
53:00See you later Mac.
53:01Surf club if you want to join.
53:04I'm sorry.
53:05I'm sorry your idol turned out to be a murderer.
53:09It's just another thread in the Point Ruin tapestry.
53:12And I've still got the music and that is never going to change.
53:15Shall we…
53:25Shall we go for a drink?
53:27Surf club if you want to join.
53:45All right, so if we put Uncle Chris and Aunty Joan on the singles table,
53:49we might avoid them saying something that gets me cancelled.
53:52Why are they so obsessed with fluoride in the water?
53:55Oh.
53:55Oh, hey.
54:00Thank you for this.
