00:30Welcome and blessing.
00:56My name is John C. Shiva and I honour you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule
01:06to be here tonight, so we can together come closer to knowing ourselves.
01:13Oakland, thank you for inviting me here to guide this work.
01:19Thank you, John C. These are very special moments for me and for our company.
01:25I'm so grateful that you're all here to open your minds to new possibilities at Bestie.
01:30And to work on growing our subscriber base.
01:34Before we begin, I would like each of you to share your intentions for this ceremony.
01:42Aisha?
01:44I guess I'm just super excited to get closer to these amazing women that I'm really lucky to work for.
01:53With Aisha?
01:56We're family.
01:59Scott?
02:00This isn't really my thing, but it's nice to be out of my coding cave.
02:04A few little UX bugs that I'd like to nut out while I'm here.
02:07Hopefully this helps.
02:09And now the wild women who lead you.
02:14Brooklyn.
02:16Andy?
02:17Well, like most of Brooklyn's ideas, I thought these ceremonies were a little out there.
02:23But every time we make incredible new discoveries that we can implement.
02:28And that's what my intention is.
02:31New insights.
02:32Andy and I are deeply committed to this ceremony.
02:36Because here, we connect to our hearts.
02:41Connect to each other.
02:42And find love.
02:44So true, Brooklyn.
02:49Now I have sealed the energy in this sacred space.
02:53Where we remain until sunrise.
02:58Blessings upon this medicine.
03:01And blessings upon each of you.
03:05As you embark on this journey of transformation.
03:16Om.
03:21Om.
03:25Om.
03:35Om.
03:36From the location in this place.
03:38We stay home.
03:39We're still going to now.
03:40We'll be Massey.
03:41Okay.
03:42We're just going to the right place.
03:43Those who talk about these things.
03:44We're nude.
03:45Fignegheim.
03:46Juliana, you're becoming mad from their right bye.
03:48God, how?
03:49Lord.
03:50He's gone to Pine bitten.
03:50That's fine, too.
03:51And we're either getting ready for you.
03:52The raise?
03:53You're not feeling incredulous.
03:55Encry bottoms the� that acknowledge them,
03:57right?
03:58How to find your name for your life.
04:00What's your face called?
04:30I'm dying!
04:37It's okay!
04:39It's okay!
04:43This doesn't feel intentional, Andy.
04:48We are doing the right thing.
04:50I promise.
04:52I trust you.
04:55I trust you.
04:57Besties.
04:59Besties.
05:20Arise and awaken!
05:24Wow.
05:27It hurts.
05:29Aisha!
05:31Angel!
05:41What happened?
05:43You did the work.
05:44You did the work.
05:46Andy.
05:48Seriously, this is the first time she's slept past me.
05:52Andy!
05:53Awaken!
05:54Andy!
05:55Andy!
05:56Andy!
05:57Andy!
05:58Andy!
05:59You did it!
06:00Indian!
06:09Oh!
06:11Oh!
06:12Oh!
06:13Oh!
06:14Oh!
06:15Colin?
06:38Victim is Andy Ross, 33.
06:41Hair up.
06:43No water.
06:43No. Um, she's the CEO of Bestie.
06:46What's Bestie?
06:47You don't know?
06:48All right, yeah, makes sense.
06:49Uh, it's a dating app.
06:50Oh, what?
06:51You've been matched with Joel.
06:54Swipe, swipe, turns out, oh, he's already got six girlfriends, that sort of thing.
06:58It's a bit more than that.
07:00Feeding uses the promise of happily ever after while deliberately keeping them single,
07:03so they keep paying for a weekly subscription, that sort of thing.
07:06Romantic.
07:06Haven't showered, Colin. Not in the mood.
07:08There was a ceremony that took place overnight.
07:14How long?
07:14I'd estimate she's been dead between two to four hours.
07:17Uh, what sort of ceremony?
07:19Uh, team building, actually.
07:20Well, involving some sort of hallucinogenic tea.
07:24They all drank from it, all four of them.
07:26But Andy Ross didn't make it through.
07:34Do we know why?
07:35There was some of the vomit in her mouth.
07:38And blue lips.
07:39Cuts here on her fingernails.
07:43Seizure.
07:44Vomiting, blue lips.
07:46All on the bingo card for poison.
07:47Poison.
07:48I have to run the tox to confirm what it is.
07:51Looks like a contract.
08:00Or the signature page you've won, anyway.
08:03Andy Ross.
08:04Brooklyn Limb.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Where's the rest of it?
08:10I haven't seen any other paperwork around.
08:14How's it looking, Glenn?
08:15I've done all I can here.
08:17I'll get it back to lab and get straight onto it.
08:19Hey, uh, can you believe she's never had a bestie?
08:23I would believe that, actually.
08:25Doesn't have a profile.
08:26Shocked.
08:26Not really the type.
08:28Can you say that again?
08:28Sorry.
08:30Why?
08:32Why am I not the type?
08:33Yeah, why is she not the type, Glenn?
08:36Because you on a dating app?
08:39Why couldn't I be on a dating app?
08:41Come on, Mac.
08:42What, Glenn?
08:44Am I not charming?
08:46Am I not an engaging conversationalist?
08:49Do I not deserve love?
08:51No, you do deserve love.
08:52Yeah, well, then what are you saying, Glenn?
08:55Yeah.
08:56Why are you saying, Glenn?
09:00I could absolutely be on a dating app if I wanted to be.
09:05Sorry.
09:06Bestie isn't just a dating app.
09:11It's a heart-centred business.
09:16And you are?
09:19Brooklyn Lim.
09:20CEO.
09:21Co.
09:22CEO.
09:24I founded the app with Andy.
09:26My best friend.
09:27Do you recognise this?
09:33Uh, looks like some kind of contract.
09:38How's yours and Andy's signature on it?
09:40Dated yesterday.
09:42Oh.
09:43We did a lot of paperwork before the ceremony.
09:45It probably belongs to one of our suppliers.
09:48It came off somehow.
09:49Scott Forbes, Chief Tech Officer.
09:54Oh, I built the app.
09:55You're a cop.
09:57That's bad.
09:58Uh, you're alright.
10:00It's okay.
10:01And this is?
10:02Aisha Abara, Andy's assistant.
10:05She's not quite herself yet.
10:07Can you tell us about this ceremony?
10:09We come here every six months to work on ideas by opening our minds with...
10:15The medicine.
10:16Medicine?
10:17A, uh, natural herbal tea with mind-expanding properties that we use to shift our perspective
10:24so we can gain deeper insight into who we are and who we are capable of becoming.
10:31Uh, this is Jean-C.
10:35She's our guide.
10:37And, uh, where does the medicine come from?
10:42Uh, I prepare it with the native berries that are forage in the hills.
10:45What type of berries?
10:46Lunar berries, natural.
10:48That's what Andy drank.
10:50We all drank it.
10:51And, uh, it comes from the big bowl thing?
10:55The gourd?
10:56Yes.
10:57I ladle the medicine from the gourd into the bowls.
11:00You handed Andy a bowl?
11:02No.
11:03Uh, I filled them.
11:04I need a journal.
11:04I took one.
11:05A sign to them?
11:06No, no, no.
11:06It was random.
11:07Random?
11:08Yeah.
11:09And then John-C sent us back to our mounts.
11:11How close?
11:12Close enough to touch?
11:13No.
11:14Then what?
11:15Then we all drank it.
11:18And then the half moon descended from the sky and it fell into the fire.
11:22We'll take her in, look after her until she's sobered up.
11:28So, so the tea?
11:31Medicine.
11:33It all comes from the same big bowl.
11:36The gourd?
11:37Into the bowls at random.
11:39Yes.
11:40This is how Andy wants it.
11:41She checked over everything on the balcony of the morning of the ceremony.
11:43Uh, what about before the ceremony?
11:46Do you know if she ate or drank anything?
11:47No.
11:48We all fast for a day beforehand.
11:50Of course you do.
11:51Sorry, what?
11:52Why are you asking all these questions?
11:54Because she was poisoned.
11:57Poisoned?
11:58How?
12:00Oh, because of me?
12:02Oh, it's all because of me.
12:04Oh, it's my fault.
12:05I killed her.
12:06I must have put a poisonous berry in the medicine.
12:09Oh, my goodness.
12:10I took a life.
12:12Do you think you put a poisonous berry into the tea?
12:15Medicine?
12:16What other explanation is there?
12:17No, no.
12:18Because, because the tea...
12:20Medicine!
12:20It all comes from the same big bowl.
12:23The gourd?
12:24And the rest of them, they're fine.
12:26Oh.
12:32So you don't...
12:33You don't think?
12:34I didn't kill her?
12:36Well, can't exactly say at the moment.
12:39Having said that...
12:42What happens to the accent?
12:48You told me...
12:50You were European.
12:56Oh, to the kind of trip she was after.
12:58I know, it wasn't a trip.
13:00It was a trap.
13:01Andy didn't eat or drink anything before the ceremony.
13:04So the poison had to be in the tea.
13:06Maybe the killer put the poison in Andy's bowl before the tea went in?
13:10No, because the bowls were taken at random.
13:12There's no way the killer could have known in advance which one Andy would take.
13:15They all drank the same drink.
13:17But only Andy was poisoned.
13:19How did the killer do it?
13:25Andy Ross.
13:27Co-CEO of Bestie.
13:29Oh, that's the dating app.
13:31Mm-hmm.
13:31How do you know what it is?
13:33I told you.
13:34Everyone knows about it.
13:35If you're curious, I can set you up a profile.
13:37Oh, absolutely not.
13:39Fair play.
13:40I'm actually off the apps for the time being.
13:42I mean, need a bit of a break.
13:43Be more present.
13:45Amen to that.
13:46Oh?
13:49Um, still getting the matches though?
13:52You've got to stay in the game.
13:54Well, what's wrong with meeting people IRL?
13:56That means in real life.
13:58We all know what it means.
13:59Anyway, somehow Andy was poisoned during a team-building exercise that involved drinking
14:06tea infused with psychedelic berries.
14:09The signature page of a contract signed by both Andy and Brooklyn Lim was in Andy's pocket.
14:14And what's it for?
14:15Still trying to figure that out.
14:17Well, Bestie's worth a mint.
14:18Last year, they got a $35 million offer to sell to a big tech company.
14:22Why didn't they?
14:23Well, according to the tech press, Brooklyn Lim co-CEO said she and Andy were in it for
14:29love, not money.
14:32Alright, who else have we got here?
14:34Scott Forbes is their tech guy.
14:35Uh, record's clean, except for a drug driving charge.
14:38Was pulled over after the last ceremony.
14:41Still high, apparently.
14:42You'll get the full report on that?
14:43Yeah.
14:43No, I'm trying to pay, alright?
14:45The machine won't take my money.
14:47Yeah, still yet to talk to Aisha Ibarra and his assistant.
14:54We need to figure out what she meant when she said the half moon descended from the sky.
15:00Not in a state to mean anything.
15:02Any news on the poison?
15:04Still waiting on tox.
15:08Oh, well, I'll get her a tea.
15:10The Earl Grey kind?
15:12I can get it.
15:13Oh, keen, aren't we?
15:14I'll get the tea.
15:15This is the location that Johnsy Shiva said she foraged for berries.
15:22See what you can find.
15:23I can stay here if you want, you know, keep an eye on Aisha.
15:26We'll handle the Aisha situation.
15:27Yeah, we'll just keep the vibes chill for her because she is still readjusting.
15:31Reggie, this is a police station.
15:32We do not do chill vibes.
15:34We'll play her those pan pipes on your phone.
15:35Reggie, Reggie.
15:37Meg?
15:38You want to see this?
15:39Hmm?
15:43Something's just fallen out of Aisha's jacket pocket.
15:45Sleeping pills.
15:48Sorry.
15:52The half moon descended from the sky and fell into the fire.
15:56What did you mean by that?
15:57Wait, I said that.
16:01Not sure, just nonsense, I guess.
16:03Is it normal for assistants to go on these retreats?
16:08Well, you get invited to the ceremony if Andy trusts you.
16:11So for me, it was basically like a promotion.
16:14Andy's very clear about it.
16:15If you're in, you're in, you're drinking the tea, right?
16:18Andy made sure of it.
16:19She literally fired her last assistant for trying to get out of it.
16:21And the one before that as well.
16:23Sounds like Andy was difficult.
16:26Right.
16:27Because all women in power are difficult.
16:28Look, Andy was a hustler.
16:30But that's just the industry that we're in.
16:32Tech is brutal.
16:33Their hours are non-stop.
16:34You don't get to see your family and friends.
16:36You know, you don't have time for a relationship.
16:38Sometimes you work so hard that you don't even know what day it is.
16:41Look, you wouldn't get it.
16:42But it's tough.
16:44Yeah.
16:44I guess I wouldn't get it.
16:46I mean, how do you go?
16:48Go, you just find a way.
16:49Right.
16:50You go.
16:50Is that the way?
16:55They were in your jacket.
16:57They're legal, by the way.
16:58Like, they're prescription.
17:01Honestly, it's the price that you pay if you want to succeed.
17:04And Andy did.
17:05Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better mentor.
17:08Got something.
17:11Andy's lawyers say they were planning to sell bestie.
17:14Brooklyn said they were in it for love, not money.
17:16But it turns out, even love has a price.
17:17It's $35 million.
17:19They sent over the contract.
17:20Mackenzie.
17:24Sent over the contract?
17:26Yeah.
17:26This has to be the one that Andy had on her.
17:29And, get this, Brooklyn's perfect marriage was so important to the bestie brand,
17:33there was a clause in the sale agreement saying she has to maintain her marriage or the sale is cancelled.
17:38It's romantic.
17:40Stay married or lose your half of $35 million.
17:43Not even half.
17:44The money goes $80-20 in Andy's favour.
17:46I thought they were co-founders.
17:48They were.
17:48Why would Brooklyn agree to that?
17:54Andy got you to sign this during the ceremony, didn't she?
17:57When you were high.
17:58That's why we found it in her pocket.
18:00It wasn't Andy's fault.
18:01She was on a journey with the medicine.
18:03Funny you didn't remember this when we spoke to you earlier.
18:05Well, it was a very unbalancing night.
18:09Maybe Andy knew exactly what she was doing.
18:12Found the precise moment to manipulate you into signing away bestie and reducing your share to just 20%,
18:17leaving you with a very ungenerous bit of the sale.
18:19If Andy was poisoned, it was given to her at the start of the ceremony before she asked me to sign anything.
18:26It's not like Andy and I haven't discussed sale offers before.
18:28Or you signed this document because you knew that Andy was going to die and you wouldn't have to go through with it.
18:35That's not true.
18:36She was my best friend.
18:38We trusted each other.
18:39Okay, I signed it because Andy said it was the right thing to do for us to sell.
18:45Was it the right thing to cut your share in half?
18:46Well, that was a business decision.
18:49You know, for tax reasons.
18:52Tax reasons?
18:53That was Andy's side of the business, so, um, I trusted her.
18:58And what's going to happen with the sale now?
19:00I can't think about business.
19:03You know, I've just lost the most important person in my life.
19:07What about your husband?
19:09What about him?
19:10Oh, not important to you.
19:11No, no, no.
19:12Of course he is.
19:14You know, our relationship was the very beginning of Bestie.
19:20Charlie and I met at the bolo.
19:23There was no spark.
19:24I wanted to leave, but Andy, she said, I have a feeling about that guy.
19:33And when Charlie and I, we talked until dawn and agreed to get married by breakfast, I knew she was right.
19:39I mean, that's what Bestie's always been about.
19:40It's about helping you find the type of person that your best friend would pick for you.
19:47There's a clause in the contract that says you have to remain married or the sailor's void.
19:52It's lucky I love him then.
19:55Because when you find your person,
19:58you just know everything's going to be okay.
20:01Where are we?
20:16I've been through the office.
20:17Anything?
20:17Very fancy, but not really.
20:20Andy's tablet there.
20:21A bit battered.
20:22And this?
20:23Oh, yeah, and the...
20:25What's that?
20:25Was that a coaster?
20:26Yeah.
20:26From the Royale.
20:29It was under Andy's keyboard and...
20:33the number 14's written on it.
20:35Hmm.
20:36Why would you keep a thing like that?
20:38That is a good question.
20:40Any luck foraging along Johnsey's route?
20:42Zero poisonous berries.
20:43Plenty of lunas, though.
20:44Yeah.
20:45So, we can rule out anything going in by accident.
20:52It was deliberate.
20:54What's that?
20:55Oh, that is the contents of the shredder.
21:00We're on it.
21:01You've got to be joking.
21:02No lead, I'm afraid.
21:03Purely a fishing expedition.
21:05That's okay.
21:06Come on, Colin.
21:08Tox is in.
21:10You don't think it's interesting that they shredded documents leading up to the ceremony?
21:15No.
21:16It's a glue stick, Miss Rocco.
21:20Okay.
21:21I've tested the tea in the gourd and the remnants in each of the four bowls.
21:25There are no berries.
21:25Yep.
21:26We found some.
21:27A native berry with psychedelic properties.
21:29Which explains Aisha seeing the half-moon descend into the fire completely out of it.
21:34She still said it.
21:36But they're not poisonous.
21:37Not really in any quantity.
21:38So, what's the poison?
21:40Amatoxin.
21:40It was in her tox as well as the lunaberrys and traces in the bowl she drank from.
21:44What's amatoxin?
21:46Mushrooms.
21:52Mushrooms?
21:54Most likely.
21:55I'll know for sure when the tox comes back.
21:57Is that a, uh, bestie notification?
22:05No.
22:07It's just a message.
22:10Carry on.
22:12Oh, would you shut up?
22:19We done?
22:21We're done.
22:22Yep.
22:34Yes.
22:34I signed up.
22:36For the case.
22:37But now the thing won't stop beeping at me.
22:40Colin, all these men.
22:42I mean, why is he holding a fish?
22:44Why are you holding a fish?
22:47Why is he holding a fish?
22:50That is a huge fish, though.
22:52Fair play.
22:54Um, is that, is that your police headshot?
22:59It's fine.
23:02Oh.
23:04A match?
23:05Why?
23:05What?
23:06Why?
23:06Why?
23:06No.
23:07I don't match with anyone.
23:07Why am I matching with someone?
23:08Well, Dustin, 32, Capricorn, is messaging you.
23:13Uh, he's a plumber.
23:15He's in Dolphin Cove, and he's free for a drink tonight.
23:19Seems nice.
23:20Also, no fish.
23:22Okay, ha ha.
23:22I'm not meeting Justin.
23:25Dustin.
23:26What's the harm?
23:28Maybe you could take this opportunity to, uh...
23:31What?
23:32Make someone new.
23:34Have a good time.
23:35Be nice.
23:43Fine.
23:48What do I say?
23:51Sounds great.
23:53Just type it.
24:05Happily ever after a week.
24:09Woo-hoo-hoo!
24:11This is actually quite meditative, isn't it?
24:15Mindful.
24:16You know, like, you can let your brain just wander.
24:19Blue no berries in all four bowls, as expected.
24:22And in one of them, what Glenn thinks is some sort of amatoxin.
24:25Oh, amatoxin?
24:26H from a poisonous mushroom.
24:28Oh, you want to be careful foraging up there.
24:30Did you see any when you were up there?
24:31No, but they're there for sure.
24:33Mum always had a blanker rule for mushrooms.
24:35Leave them alone.
24:36Oh, police report on Scott has come through.
24:40Here we go.
24:42Driving while intoxicated after the last ceremony six months ago.
24:46Admittedly ingested lunar berries the night before.
24:48Yeah, that checks out.
24:49But someone else was in the car with him.
24:51Yeah.
24:53Andy Ross.
24:54She gave a statement, said she never ingested mind-altering substances.
25:00Uh, they tested her.
25:01She was clean.
25:04What?
25:05She was committed to these ceremonies.
25:07Her tox came back positive how?
25:09Uh, I don't know.
25:12They did these ceremonies together.
25:15Andy was militant in making sure they all participated.
25:17Ayesha told us so.
25:18How could Andy be clean when Scott tested positive the morning after?
25:23Uh, I also went through Bestie's expenses.
25:30Nothing out of the ordinary, but...
25:32Brooklyn has a lot of pricey lunches coded in accounts HR.
25:37Human resources taking the staff out.
25:40They were about to make a lot of money.
25:42It is criminal how much these dating apps are making off people.
25:46$8.99 a week for a Bestie subscription.
25:49In my day, you just went up to someone you thought looked alright and, you know, gave them a compliment.
25:54You can't go up to a woman on the street and compliment her.
25:57It's harassment.
25:58Well, since when has flirting been harassment?
26:01Okay, how are we getting along with these?
26:03Oh, good.
26:03I have finished a full sentence.
26:05That one.
26:06Uh, equity, restaurant, croissant.
26:10Yeah, well, it's almost finished.
26:12Mine's some sort of paperwork deal thing, I think.
26:15Okay, well, let me know when you find something.
26:17Sure.
26:18I just don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with it.
26:20Well, we can't solve it all at once.
26:22Right, well, I'm knocking off.
26:24I've got quite all.
26:26I'm going to keep going.
26:27What about your basketball game?
26:29It's fine.
26:30Well, what?
26:34Shouldn't you, uh...
26:35What?
26:36Be getting ready?
26:38Ready for what?
26:40If you're saying that, I will tell you.
26:45To go home, have a well-balanced meal and continue working on the case.
26:51Mm-hmm.
26:52Mm-hmm.
26:53Right.
26:58I'm just saying, it might have been quite nice if you'd have, you know, got changed.
27:04Changed into what, Colin?
27:06This is all I have.
27:07I can't even shower.
27:09Hi, mate.
27:09Grab a stool.
27:11You gonna be?
27:12Absolutely.
27:13Can I get you a drink back?
27:15No, thanks.
27:16You're just...
27:19You're just gonna stand there?
27:22Yes.
27:23Yes, I am.
27:25Max got a date.
27:26Don't, don't.
27:28Say that.
27:29Hooking up on bestie?
27:30Don't say hooking up.
27:31Good on you for putting yourself out there.
27:33I feel that people only say that to people who shouldn't be putting themselves out there.
27:37Ah, no, they don't.
27:38Do they, Glenn?
27:39No, it's great.
27:41Good on you.
27:41Is, is that him?
27:46My word.
27:48He's a lot better looking than his photos.
27:50Look at those eyebrows.
27:53Go on.
27:55Go on.
28:02Mackenzie.
28:03That is I.
28:05How you doing?
28:05Oh, I just...
28:06You look great.
28:09Love the waistcoat.
28:16Drink?
28:18Sure.
28:19How good is this?
28:21He's a plumber.
28:25Hey.
28:25Hi, mate.
28:25How's it going?
28:26Yeah, good.
28:27How are you?
28:28Ah, what would you like?
28:29Hey, legs.
28:43Here you go.
28:45Thanks.
28:51Don't worry.
28:53She does that to me all the time.
28:55What'd you get?
29:10Equity investment paid out after minimum employment.
29:14I don't know what that means, but I think it's something.
29:17It means someone was about to get money.
29:20But who?
29:23Is this Scott Forbes' deal?
29:24His employment deal.
29:25I think so.
29:26Hmm.
29:28Hmm.
29:35Hey, legs.
29:39Well done.
29:42Is it too late to make the basketball game?
29:44I can make the second half.
29:47Hey, have a good game.
29:51Get off your jacket.
29:52What about Dustin?
29:57Who?
29:59Oh, oh.
30:00He'll be fine.
30:02This is what the apps have done to us.
30:04People don't see people for people anymore.
30:06Just swipes.
30:09I mean Andy's emails.
30:11She sends them at all hours.
30:122 a.m.
30:133 a.m.
30:14She worked non-stop.
30:15Oh, sounds familiar.
30:16Well, she did until a few weeks ago.
30:19I wonder if it changed.
30:21What are you looking for?
30:24Oh, uh, Scott gets equity in Bestie.
30:27So I search their emails to each other.
30:29It's hard to make out.
30:29They don't put much detail in writing.
30:31But it seems like Andy was trying to force Scott out.
30:34Why would you do that?
30:36Because, according to his deal, he doesn't get that equity until his employment reaches a certain date.
30:41If you sack him, you don't have to pay it.
30:43That could be worth millions.
30:45I wasn't happy.
30:46Take this from me and you'll regret it.
30:49Is that a threat?
30:50Not a compliment.
30:52We're going to go talk to him about it.
30:53Mm.
30:58First thing in the morning.
30:59Amazing, isn't it?
31:13You have an idea.
31:15Build an app.
31:15Suddenly, it's worth $35 million.
31:19Amazing.
31:21You, uh...
31:23You okay?
31:25I just want to have a hot shower.
31:27But I still can't fix it.
31:27Did you get Glenn to do a test on Andy's hair?
31:30Yep.
31:30He'll call us when he has something.
31:32Can I ask, um, why?
31:35Scott Forbes.
31:37Sorry.
31:37I've just got to...
31:38If you don't log it, it didn't happen.
31:40Want to come through?
31:46Was Andy trying to fire you?
31:48What?
31:49Well, you're due to get equity in the company in a couple of weeks, aren't you?
31:53So?
31:54So?
31:57If you take this from me, you'll regret it.
32:03That was an email that you wrote to her.
32:04Was she trying to get rid of you so you wouldn't get your shares?
32:06No.
32:08Andy and I had a chat about my role in the company, sure.
32:11But that's totally normal.
32:12What would she regret taking from you?
32:14We were talking about renegotiating some of the deal.
32:16It got a little bit spicy.
32:18But again, that's totally normal.
32:21And then we came to an agreement.
32:22I stayed on.
32:23Now it'll be easy to get your equity, won't it?
32:26I don't know what you're saying.
32:27Andy wanted to sack you so you wouldn't get your shares.
32:31You threatened her.
32:32Now she's dead.
32:33And when the sale goes to, you'll get a big piece.
32:35She already agreed to keep me on, so I'd get my money regardless.
32:38Then why shred those?
32:39Because Andy asked me to.
32:41When a company's for sale, a potential buyer does what we call a vibe check.
32:45Snips around to see if everything's in order.
32:48And he wasn't?
32:49No, it was fine.
32:50It was just dotting the i's.
32:52Andy had higher standards.
32:53That's all.
32:55Do you recognise this?
32:58The coaster.
33:00So what?
33:03That's what we need for now.
33:12Is Colin coming?
33:14Yes, he is just giving a safety lecture to some kid without a helmet.
33:17So, uh, your date?
33:24Justin.
33:25Dustin.
33:27Dustin.
33:28Right.
33:29Not your type, or...?
33:31You seem very interested.
33:33I'm just making conversation.
33:38Unbelievable.
33:39They tear around on those things, 30 k's an hour, all under their arm, no helmet on,
33:43they're going to kill themselves.
33:43I'm putting me foot down.
33:45Oh, and his hair test.
33:46It's done.
33:47Before we talk results, why do you want me to do this exactly?
33:50Oh, she started sleeping.
33:52She was emailing 24-7 and then, like that, she's getting eight hours.
33:55Yep.
33:56Because she was taking sedatives.
34:00What sort of sedatives?
34:05Demazepam.
34:06In Andy's hair test.
34:08Andy had fired eight assistants in the last two years.
34:11Any idea why?
34:13No.
34:16This prescription is from two weeks ago, and that's, yeah, that's about half empty.
34:22So you must be taking three a night?
34:25Four, maybe.
34:26Yeah.
34:26Oh, and here's something.
34:29Andy's toxicology shows that she was also a very heavy user.
34:32Despite having no prescription.
34:35Andy emailed you day and night, she hardly slept, and then suddenly she's only emailing
34:39during the day.
34:40Why's that?
34:41I don't know.
34:45Do you know what I think?
34:47I think you were work to the bone, you needed a break, so you drugged her with your sleeping
34:50pills.
34:51Okay, Andy was a monster.
34:55Right, you don't understand.
34:56She wouldn't stop.
34:57She was so unhinged.
34:58She would literally throw things at people.
35:00And not small things either.
35:02Her tablet.
35:06It was broken.
35:07Yeah, look.
35:09A couple days ago.
35:11And it wasn't even my fault.
35:13She just found out that Brooklyn was charging, like, expensive lunches to Bestie.
35:16HR lunches.
35:17Whatever, I don't know.
35:18Well, surely Bestie can order a lunch or two.
35:21Right?
35:21But no, Andy had to be in control of absolutely everything.
35:24Especially Brooklyn.
35:25Kept her so-called Bestie on a leash.
35:27The only reason that Brooklyn was allowed to have the stupid ceremonies was because it
35:30was, well, it was where she came up with the company's best ideas.
35:33Okay, so why go to the ceremonies if you hated her so much?
35:35Girl, you think I had a choice?
35:38Times are tough, alright?
35:39I need this job.
35:40And you knew you were the next assistant on the chopping block, and so you killed her.
35:43No, no.
35:44I...
35:45No, I just put the sleeping pills in her tea so that she wouldn't work me all night
35:49long.
35:49I was crashing out from the exhaustion.
35:52What would you do?
35:53Even if Aisha did poison Andy, we don't know how she did it.
36:02We don't know how any of them did it.
36:03We don't know how the killer got the poison in the bowl.
36:05And they must have, because it wasn't in the tea.
36:07They all drank, and it couldn't have been in her bowl beforehand.
36:09Because they all took a bowl at random.
36:11And the half moon descended from the sky and fell into the pile.
36:16Oh yeah, I'm pondering that, day and night.
36:18Hey, here we go.
36:22He hung around for an hour, you know.
36:24Hey.
36:25Your date.
36:26Dustin.
36:27Right.
36:29You seem very keen.
36:32Did he?
36:32Oh yeah, I thought so.
36:34Oh, how are the dress things going?
36:36Ah, slowly.
36:38Everyone wants me in something traditional, but it doesn't feel right here.
36:41You know?
36:44Is that Brooklyn?
36:45Oh.
36:47How much is that bottle worth?
36:49$110.
36:50I know, I sell it, and even I think it's ridiculous.
36:58Why would Brooklyn leave a full bottle of expensive champagne?
37:02Sorry, sorry.
37:03Get out of my way.
37:05And there were two glasses.
37:06One of them hadn't been...
37:08Oh, there's so many nipers.
37:09One of those glasses hadn't been poured yet.
37:12Maybe she was meeting someone.
37:13Uh-huh, someone she didn't want us to see.
37:14So the question is, who?
37:16What was Brooklyn paying you for?
37:33Oh, we don't have to be anywhere.
37:45Did she pay you to poison Andy?
37:47I didn't poison anyone.
37:50Only a few days ago you confessed to accidentally killing her.
37:54And I was wrong.
37:56She was paying me to conduct the ceremony.
38:00A lot of cash for a drug ceremony.
38:03Spiritual ceremony.
38:05I am an internationally trained spiritualist.
38:08Yes, we heard the accent.
38:10We're going to go in there in a few minutes and talk to Brooklyn, and she's going to tell us her side of the story.
38:14So why don't you tell us your version before she stitches you up?
38:21Fine.
38:22A newspaper was going to pay me as an anonymous tell-all source.
38:28Tech mogul murdered in spiritual ceremony.
38:30Why didn't they?
38:33I had some questions about the fee.
38:36You thought you could get more money from Brooklyn not to tell the story.
38:40We've all got bills.
38:44Blackmail.
38:46Effectively, yes.
38:48I was paying her to stop her going to the press.
38:51Paying her well, too, as you can see.
38:52Why was it worth so much to you?
38:54The sale.
38:55You're still pushing it through.
39:01I thought you were too bereft.
39:03Too mired in grief.
39:05I was desperate.
39:08Desperate to get your full share?
39:10Oh, which you now will.
39:12What, we've handed out the picture.
39:14This wasn't about the sale.
39:17I did it to save Bessie's reputation.
39:21This wonderful vision that we'd built together.
39:24I did it for Andy.
39:29My bestie.
39:33Andy, clearly very difficult to work for,
39:36under even more pressure to sell the company for huge sums of money.
39:41Gets her supposed bestie to sign away half of her share while under the influence.
39:47Brooklyn swears to us.
39:50It's not about the money, but she is still pushing the sale,
39:52although now that Andy's dead, she will get her full share.
39:57Andy works her assistance so hard,
39:59she has to drug her so she can sleep.
40:03Andy also tries to force Scott out so he never gets his equity.
40:08Not a nice person.
40:09Still doesn't deserve to be murdered.
40:11We've got a twist for you here, folks.
40:14We took a break from pasting and Groover here had the broad idea to drop into the Royale
40:19and tie up the coast to mystery.
40:21I thought it was a bit weird that Andy was there when, according to her diary and phone,
40:25she didn't have any meetings there.
40:26But I think she was following someone.
40:29Who?
40:29Scott Forbes.
40:31He used to stay there twice a week, regular as clockwork.
40:34Why?
40:35When he doesn't live far away.
40:36Well, maybe he was evicted from his dream house.
40:39Twice.
40:40He was meeting someone.
40:42Who?
40:43Brooklyn Lim.
40:45They're having an affair.
40:48Used to.
40:49You said used to.
40:50Used to stay there.
40:51Twice a week.
40:52But stopped last week.
40:53Canceled all of his bookings.
40:54What's Bestie all about?
41:04Keeping people on the hook for $8.99 a week.
41:06Love.
41:08True love.
41:10Bestie is all about finding true love.
41:13So what if...
41:14What if that's what this is all about?
41:17We have been looking at money, contracts,
41:21but what we haven't been looking at is...
41:24Love.
41:30When you find your person.
41:38The half moon descended from the sky and fell into the fire.
41:42She told us exactly how it happened.
41:44We just...
41:45Couldn't see it.
41:47Everyone wants to fall in love.
42:07It's what Bestie's all about, isn't it?
42:12Helping everyone find their happily ever after for just $8.99 a week.
42:19And that's what this murder came down to.
42:22Love.
42:24But the question that we couldn't answer was...
42:26How did the killer manage to poison only Andy?
42:30Well, they didn't.
42:35Andy poisoned herself.
42:38Four bowls for four people taken at random.
42:42At least that's what it looked like.
42:44You told us that the morning of the ceremony,
42:46Andy went to the balcony to make sure everything was in order.
42:49Andy really went down to hide another identical bowl
42:52filled with her own innocuous herbal tea.
42:56Why would she do that?
42:58Well, Andy never took psychedelics.
43:00Uh-huh.
43:01Yes, she did.
43:02No.
43:04Her drug test was clean the last time you all did this.
43:07And from what we learnt about Andy,
43:09she had to be in control,
43:11so she never took anything on your retreats.
43:14Though it was convenient for her to make you think she did
43:17so she could trick you into signing away Bestie
43:19while you were under the influence.
43:20We are doing the right thing.
43:22The killer was the only person who knew
43:25that Andy never took psychedelics.
43:30Me?
43:31You.
43:34I don't know what you're talking about.
43:36You got pulled over the last time you did this,
43:39tested positive,
43:40but the person in the car with you didn't.
43:42Andy.
43:44What you didn't know was how she managed to avoid it,
43:47so you followed her that morning.
43:49You watched Andy hide a second bowl containing no psychedelics
43:52and then spiked the hidden bowl with the poison
43:55and Luno berries as cover.
43:58Then during the ceremony,
43:59Andy made sure she was first in line,
44:01so she had just enough time to swap out the bowl that Johnsy gave her
44:03with the hidden bowl,
44:05which she thought was filled with her harmless herbal tea,
44:07but actually contained the poison that would kill her.
44:11And then all you had to do
44:12was sit back and watch
44:14as Andy unwittingly poisoned herself
44:17after she destroyed the bowl she took from Johnsy.
44:21Oh, almost destroyed it,
44:23Constable Wilkinson.
44:24Aisha's half-moon.
44:39But why?
44:40Exactly.
44:42No reason.
44:43This doesn't make sense at all.
44:45A couple of days ago,
44:46Andy flew into a rage
44:47when she found out that Brooklyn was charging
44:49expensive champagne lunches
44:51to the Bestie account.
44:53Lunches marked as
44:55HR,
44:56which stands for...
44:58Human Resources.
44:59So close, but not at all.
45:01Royale.
45:02Hotel Royale.
45:04Where Brooklyn and Scott were carrying on an affair
45:07in room 14, to be precise.
45:11The Bestie brand is built on the story
45:13of your perfect marriage.
45:14It was crucial that it remained perfect
45:17for the sale of Bestie to go through,
45:18stay married,
45:19or $35 million would disappear,
45:22and Andy wasn't going to let that happen.
45:24And that's what a Bestie is for, isn't it?
45:27To tell you the right thing to do.
45:29Andy loved telling you what to do.
45:31You never did anything without her permission.
45:34She made you and me a fair.
45:37But that was the easy bit.
45:40Because Andy could control Brooklyn.
45:42She chose your husband for you.
45:44You, Scott.
45:46You were the problem.
45:47So Andy was going to fire you.
45:48Your email to her,
45:49it was a threat.
45:52Take this from me,
45:53and you'll regret it.
45:55But it wasn't the money
45:57she was trying to take from you.
45:59It was Brooklyn.
46:00But choose love,
46:02and you wouldn't get your shares.
46:05So you capitulated.
46:07Chose the money,
46:09stayed at Bestie.
46:10You were forced to work with
46:11the woman you hated,
46:13and with the woman you loved,
46:15but couldn't have.
46:19Well, was it that you said Brooklyn?
46:22You just know that everything's going to be okay.
46:25We thought you were talking about your husband,
46:27but it was Scott.
46:28And you, Scott,
46:29knew that Brooklyn would never go against Andy's wishes.
46:31While Andy was alive,
46:32you and Brooklyn,
46:33you could never be together,
46:34and so you poisoned her.
46:35I'm sorry,
46:36but this is pure fiction.
46:38Is it as fictional as your running route?
46:41You run every day, don't you?
46:44If you don't log it,
46:45it didn't happen.
46:47Here's your route.
46:49Balcony.
46:50Bowl.
46:51Do you know what else we found
46:53along that running route?
46:55The poisonous mushrooms you went to find
46:57when you realised
46:57what Andy was going to do.
46:59And that you then put in Andy's hidden bowl.
47:01No.
47:01No.
47:01No.
47:03No.
47:03No.
47:03No.
47:04What did you do?
47:10It was brilliant, really.
47:14You got Andy to poison herself
47:16and destroy the proof.
47:19And all for love.
47:23A love powerful enough to kill for.
47:29That's worth $8.99 a week, surely.
47:31Scott Forbes.
47:35You are under arrest
47:36for the murder of Andy Ross.
47:37That isn't for you.
47:39That isn't for us.
47:41She was my best friend.
47:44I'm so sorry.
47:45I'm so sorry.
47:46You don't have to say anything,
47:47but anything you do say
47:48may be used against you.
47:51Take him away.
47:51Please.
47:51Please.
47:53That's one and all.
48:15Hey, true love,
48:17you are never going to find it on your phone
48:19if you ask me.
48:20You've got to connect in person
48:22to see if they're right for you.
48:26Aisha.
48:28Oh, go on.
48:29Go down and give her a compliment.
48:31I can't do that.
48:32Why?
48:32Felix Arthur Wilkinson.
48:34It's not my middle name.
48:36Go and talk to her like a person.
48:38Look who else is in the house tonight.
48:50Justin.
48:51Dustin.
48:53Might be a good chance to apologise
48:56for walking out on him.
49:00Yes.
49:02Yes.
49:02It is a good chance, Colin.
49:08I am going to go and apologise to Dustin
49:11for my poor behaviour.
49:17Ooh.
49:20A bestie always knows.
49:22That's who, is it?
49:23Well, who else is it going to be?
49:27Noise is like a pressure issue.
49:29So you've probably got a loose pipe.
49:31So you can find the pipe
49:32and then tighten it.
49:35That's it?
49:36That's it.
49:37You probably need someone
49:37to hold it steady.
49:38I'm happy to help.
49:40No.
49:42I think I can manage.
49:45Thank you, Dustin.
49:48About what?
49:50Wait, what?
49:51Where are you going?
49:53Where can I see?
49:54A plumber friend said
49:59that once you tighten it,
50:01it'll give it a go.
50:08Ah.
50:09Hey.
50:10There we are.
50:12Excellent.
50:14Ah.
50:15Did you need help
50:16with something else?
50:18No, that was the only
50:19two-person job.
50:20Mm-hmm.
50:22Oh, do you, um,
50:23do you want help
50:23packing up the...
50:25I can do that.
50:26Great.
50:27Oh, uh, do...
50:29Did you want to stay
50:30and have a...
50:32cup of tea?
50:34Ooh, uh...
50:35Oh, no.
50:38Great.
50:39Great.
50:39Great.
50:39Great.
50:47Come on, you.
50:53Come on.
50:53Good girl.
50:55You are the only one
50:56that I need.
51:00And a hot shower.
51:04Yes.
51:04Yes.
