00:00Thank you for inviting me to your wedding. I would be delighted to attend.
00:05Frankie?
00:07Snake.
00:08Uh, did it get her? Was she bitten?
00:10This was an accident. This is not my fault.
00:12Since you've come home, everything is harder.
00:14Oh, your life, it would just be so much easier if I'd never come back.
00:18I might have said some things about it being easier if you weren't here.
00:22It's not true.
00:23Gotta get this box in the road. Wedding's only around the corner.
00:26Your wedding won't be a nightmare.
00:28This one will be perfect.
00:42Welcome to Daisy and Glenn's wedding.
00:45You've got your signature cocktail there, pear spritzer.
00:47We've called it the perfect pear because they are.
00:50Go eat, though, because they're a little bit strong.
00:53Glenn's strong. Thank you. I'll write my own jokes.
00:56Oh.
00:58How are we feeling?
01:00Oh, I think he's a bit nervous.
01:01I'm not nervous.
01:01He's nervous.
01:02Mate, before you know it, you'll be married to an absolute legend.
01:05And then listening to the most hilarious yet heartfelt best man speech that's ever been delivered.
01:10Are we ever going to stop hearing about this speech?
01:12However, I can't vouch for the bridesmaid.
01:15Ah, yes. That's Kat.
01:17She's asked Daisy for a printout with photos of the blokes who are single or, her words, in a relationship that's a little bit shaky.
01:24Bing bong, bing bong. Special announcement. I am an envoy from our bride.
01:29Sent to inform you that she is a fraction delay.
01:33Delay?
01:34Challenges with the hair.
01:35I am told, being met with a plomb, she should be here in a trice.
01:39Trice?
01:41Trice.
01:41She's coming, though.
01:43Of course.
01:46Hmm.
01:47I just want it to be perfect.
01:48Oh, no, it's going to be perfect.
01:50Where's Frankie?
01:52Oh.
01:53Stay still.
01:58Yeah.
02:02Okay.
02:03Oh.
02:04Okay.
02:05Oh.
02:06I guess there is nothing left to do.
02:11But...
02:11Go.
02:15Come on.
02:17Nice job.
02:18Yeah, get the photo.
02:19Oh, there's Claire in country.
02:21Claire.
02:21Oh, hello.
02:23Pardon.
02:23Pardon.
02:24Excuse me, but no photographs, please.
02:26What?
02:27At all?
02:28The bride and groom have requested an analogue wedding.
02:31There will, of course, be official photos, but for the guests.
02:35Click, click.
02:36Click, click.
02:37Have fun.
02:39He's a bit of a card, isn't he?
02:41Hey, smile.
02:42No.
02:42No photos.
02:44It's a disposable.
02:45At all.
02:46You cannot take a good photo of me.
02:47It's a curse.
02:49Really?
02:50Yeah, so I used to chuck a sickie every school photo day.
02:54It just, it wasn't worth the embarrassment.
02:56No.
02:58Don't.
02:59Felix.
03:02Welcome.
03:03Uh, Colin Cartwright.
03:04Best man.
03:05Sing out if I can help with anything.
03:07I'll be right, Cal.
03:08Uh, no.
03:09Uh, Colin, actually.
03:11Who cares?
03:11Romantics.
03:14Romantics.
03:15Everywhere.
03:21Malcolm Stringer.
03:22Philomena Strong.
03:24Well, well.
03:26What are you doing here?
03:28Well, my ex-wife is the bride's godmother.
03:32But she couldn't be here, thankfully.
03:33So, what about you?
03:35My son is the groom.
03:37You're kidding.
03:37I know.
03:40Are you still a detective?
03:42No, no.
03:43I'm, uh, I'm back in uniform now.
03:45I'm, I'm out at Spout Creek.
03:47Spout Creek?
03:48Spout Creek.
03:48Wow.
03:48Why's that?
03:50Oh, I don't know.
03:51Need to change your pace.
03:52Oh, yeah.
03:53Finding that foot on the beach didn't turn you off, did it?
03:57Well, it'd turn anybody off, wouldn't it?
03:58Hey, so, uh, you know where you're sitting.
04:07Uh, would you excuse me for a moment, Phil?
04:14Frankie.
04:16Oh, I love that girl.
04:25I know.
04:27Awkward.
04:28No, you, look.
04:30Look at this beautiful girl.
04:32Ooh, she's recovered well, how's she?
04:34Keep away from snakes from now on, please.
04:38And you, keep her away from snakes from now on, please.
04:41Thanks, Dr. Joy.
04:42My best.
04:44Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin.
04:48Take a seat.
04:49Not a side.
04:50You are loved by the groom and by the bride.
04:54The very best of luck.
04:56Not that you'll need it.
04:59No, because, um, today luck is not a factor because you're getting married and Godspeed
05:08the bride has arrived and the bride has arrived and the moment is upon us.
05:17Go around.
05:17Go around.
05:33Go around.
05:34Talk about a couple gibbons.
05:35Go around.
05:36Well, I haven't seen each other.
05:37Go around.
05:38Go around.
05:45Now, what's the other country for?
06:16Ladies and gentlemen, please.
06:31What a wonderful day.
06:35We are in, as my partner loves to say, an exquisite moment.
06:40Hello, my name is Christopher Fletcher
06:43and I am duly appointed by law to solemnize marriages
06:47and to officiate in this wedding today
06:49between Glenn Albert Strong and Daisy Deirdre Dixon.
06:55And so, if there are no objections,
07:00I will proceed.
07:01Oh, ah, uh, madam?
07:05Uh, uh, madam?
07:08Thanks.
07:08Uh, madam, please, uh...
07:10Fuck.
07:35She's dead.
07:55Who is she?
07:57I don't know.
07:58Dace?
07:59I don't know her either.
08:02But she's at your wedding.
08:03It's Doris Carides.
08:04I recognised her when she walked in.
08:07Oh my God, so it is.
08:09Who's Doris Carides?
08:10Who are you?
08:12I'm Malcolm Stringer.
08:13Doris is a detective, a retired detective.
08:16You worked with her, didn't you?
08:17Back in the day, yeah.
08:19She said something just as she collapsed.
08:21Did anyone catch it?
08:22Yeah, I thought it was, what, Mac?
08:25I mean, I could be wrong.
08:26My hearing's not great.
08:27I need to get a check.
08:28But that is what it sounded like.
08:29Why would she say that it doesn't make any sense?
08:34Oh, she's foaming around the edges of her mouth.
08:42She's bit her tongue.
08:44Seizure?
08:46Mm.
08:46Look at her fingertips.
08:52They're red and blistered.
08:54Contact poison.
08:57The only thing I can think of is organophosphate.
08:59Pesticide?
09:00Yeah, it's highly toxic.
09:01You can't bite anymore, but some farms still have it around.
09:04Uh, Malcolm.
09:06Malcolm, you saw her walking in, didn't you?
09:07And she was fine.
09:08She was.
09:09If it was, it had to be incredibly fast-acting.
09:12It would be.
09:13But how was it transmitted?
09:16She's not holding anything.
09:17She's not touching.
09:18Everyone, um, put your, put your, put your, your brochures, your, your manuals, your wedding
09:34manuals, your programs, put your programs down and don't touch them.
09:37Don't panic, everyone.
09:39Just put them down as fast as you can.
09:41Yep.
09:41Don't touch them.
09:42Um, Felix, um, uh, get, get everyone inside and, and, and bag the programs.
09:47I need statements from everyone, I need to know where they were sitting, what did they
09:49touch, if they saw Doris, if they saw anything, did they have a program?
09:53Got it.
09:54And get them to wash their hands with soap.
09:56None of the others have any symptoms, so hopefully they're fine.
09:58Can I get everybody inside, please, right now, up the stairs.
10:03Around that way, just keep your hands up.
10:04Yep.
10:08I had the programs out, don't they?
10:10I, I, I, I touched them all.
10:11Colin, best man.
10:13How do you feel?
10:13Uh, fine.
10:17Actually, maybe a little bit lightheaded?
10:21No, I'm fine, I, I'm fine.
10:22But how do we know for sure?
10:24Could you do tests?
10:26What?
10:27Now?
10:28Yes.
10:29The faster I know what we're dealing with, the quicker we can figure this out.
10:32Well, look, but are we gonna figure something out today, Mackenzie?
10:35This is a crime scene.
10:37I think we should let these people go.
10:39No.
10:39No, the chances are the killer is still here.
10:42How fast can you do it?
10:47It's a really simple test.
10:48Half an hour at most.
10:52Okay.
10:53Okay.
10:58Oh, boy.
11:00Glenn.
11:01Days, I...
11:02What, you're leaving?
11:03I won't be long, I promise.
11:05The sooner we figure this out, the sooner it can all happen.
11:07Okay.
11:08Why did she mention Mack's name?
11:10I, I don't know.
11:14I, I love you.
11:17We're gonna sort this out, okay?
11:24How about I get us a drink?
11:30Malcolm, Malcolm.
11:31When did you last see Doris?
11:35Look, um...
11:35I, I really don't know Doris that well.
11:39Um, we worked together on a couple of cases back when I was starting out as a detective,
11:43that's all.
11:44Right, so years, years.
11:45Yeah.
11:46If you didn't know her that well, why is your name on a list in her pocket?
11:50My...
11:51Well, I don't know.
11:55I don't...
11:55Um, what are the other names?
11:57Tabitha Dewitt Joy Mina.
11:59No, I don't know.
12:04What's happening?
12:07I am trying to figure that out.
12:10Daisy, whoever did this is, is probably still here.
12:15So, I am gonna find out who it is as quick as I can,
12:19and make sure that you both get the, the beautiful wedding that you deserve.
12:24Can you tell me what these three people have in common?
12:30They're all here.
12:32Malcolm, Tabitha did the invitations and the signage,
12:36and Joy.
12:38Frankie's vet.
12:39Yeah, they're all invited.
12:41Unlike Doris.
12:43Okay, um, let them know we need to speak to them,
12:48figure out why they're on this list.
12:49Okay, will do.
12:52Never seen it before in my life.
12:54Look at me.
12:55I'm a printer, for God's sake.
12:59And you, you printed the, the programs?
13:02Yes.
13:03And the idea that they could be used to harm anyone.
13:05And you delivered them to the venue?
13:10Last night, with all the signage.
13:14Okay, can you tell me about the printing process?
13:16You, you, uh, you print them on a machine.
13:18By machine, absolutely not.
13:21It's letterpress, all manual.
13:23The charm of doing things by hand.
13:26And I can assure you,
13:28there was nothing untoward about the programs when I delivered them here.
13:31Just, you, don't go anywhere.
13:37We want to talk to you again.
13:43It's so horrible!
13:46I think everyone's having a really good time.
13:49I think it's really fun.
13:51Glenn.
13:52Just give me a sec.
13:56Hey.
13:57Guess what?
13:58What?
13:59I love you.
14:01And you look so hot.
14:04She is a bit annoying, though.
14:07No, she's just,
14:08she's just trying to do her job.
14:13You've always been way too nice about her.
14:19It's definitely something on the program.
14:21I'll send it away to the city for a more detailed tox.
14:23Uh, but I used a dichloromethane as a solvent, uh, to extract an organophosphate from the papers.
14:29And even Doris' symptoms and manner of death, we are looking at poisoning from some sort of pesticide.
14:34So, uh, should I be worried?
14:35Should I be worried?
14:37Did you open any of the programs?
14:39No.
14:40Then you're fine.
14:41I only found poison on the inside.
14:43And I took a few others as samples.
14:44Nothing on any of them.
14:46Only one of the programs was poison.
14:50I can't say for certain, but it looks like it.
14:54And they were handed out completely at random?
14:56Yeah, yeah.
14:56I just took them out of the box and then handed them out to whoever was there.
14:59When did you hand Doris hers?
15:02I handed her one just before the ceremony.
15:04She was the last to sit down.
15:07So, could someone have distracted her and then swapped the program?
15:11Reggie and Felix were sat next to her.
15:13They would have noticed.
15:14Mm-hmm.
15:15Right.
15:16So, a retired detective shows up to a wedding that she's not invited to,
15:20with the names of three guests on a list in her pocket,
15:23and somehow she ends up murdered.
15:26Yeah, not before saying your name.
15:29But the murder weapon is a poison program that you handed to her at random,
15:35so how does the killer guarantee that you hand Doris the one program with poison on it?
15:49Doris Carides, former detective, murdered at a wedding that she wasn't invited to.
15:55In her pocket was a list of three names.
15:57So, those people are Tabitha Dewitt, letterpress printer.
16:02Printed the programs, including probably the murder weapon.
16:05Delivered them.
16:05No further involvement.
16:09Joy Mina.
16:10It's Frankie's vet.
16:12Keep her away from snakes from now on, please.
16:13And Senior Sergeant Malcolm Stringer, former detective, works at Spout Creek Police Station.
16:19It's about 400km away.
16:21Worked with Doris back in the day, hasn't seen her for years, doesn't know why she was there or why he's on her list.
16:27Okay, so something has to link these people.
16:31We just have to figure out what.
16:35Do we have any photos from the wedding?
16:37Maybe they captured something.
16:39I guess we're not allowed.
16:40Analog wedding.
16:41And the photographer was always focused on Daisy and Glenn.
16:45But, but, but, but.
16:47I collected all these.
16:49I'm going to ring around all the local chemists to see if anyone can develop them.
16:53Great.
16:54Reggie.
16:54Great.
16:55Okay.
16:56In the meantime, we are going to piece together Doris' last 24 hours.
17:02See if she was looking into anything.
17:03If she was, what was it?
17:04Hold on.
17:05I think I might have something.
17:06The waitress last night said that she saw Doris talking to someone.
17:12Who?
17:12Uh, the stationary lady.
17:15Yeah, Tabitha.
17:16Did she know what they were talking about?
17:18Uh, she said that she heard Doris saying something like, remember anything?
17:23Yeah.
17:23Tabitha.
17:25Tabitha.
17:35Hey.
17:36So, I reckon I called, like what, half a dozen chemists and none of them have the machine
17:42to develop film anymore.
17:43They send it into the city and it takes like a week.
17:46We don't have a week.
17:48Oh, we know.
17:49I want to get this done quickly so Glenn's wedding isn't completely destroyed.
17:53Excuse me.
17:54Sorry.
17:54Excuse me.
17:55Hello.
17:55Um, didn't we tell you to stay until we've spoken to you?
17:59I can't hang around all afternoon.
18:01I have surgeries to prepare for.
18:04But, it's Saturday.
18:06Oh, nine to five job.
18:07Wouldn't that be nice?
18:09Is that all?
18:10Yeah, that's all.
18:13Joy, thank you.
18:15Bye, Joy.
18:16But, that's not all.
18:18Are you sure?
18:19Just smile and wave.
18:20Just smile and wave.
18:25Vital surgery prep.
18:27Couldn't wait another moment.
18:29But, she was planning on being at the wedding all day.
18:32Exactly.
18:33So, why is she so keen to leave?
18:34Follow her.
18:36Follow her.
18:37Yep.
18:38Something she's not telling us.
18:39Hmm.
18:42This is nice.
18:43Hey, I quite like a waistcoat, actually.
18:46Oh, not how we imagined it.
18:48No.
18:48We're still doing it, though.
18:52Really?
18:53Hey, people have come from everywhere to be here because we love you.
18:57Jenny came from Hong Kong.
18:58You had Lisa come from London.
18:59You're not.
19:00I came from Adelaide.
19:02Adelaide.
19:03We're doing this.
19:06Oh, Mac.
19:07Annoying.
19:08Wow.
19:10Oi.
19:11Have you solved it yet?
19:17I can't comment.
19:19Oh, my God.
19:21What if you don't get to do your speech?
19:23Well, that's not my concern.
19:26Okay, well, I saw you practicing it out there.
19:28Had your little stopwatch going and everything.
19:29What's the plan with that?
19:31Is it, like, make him laugh, make him cry?
19:33He's the best mate I ever had.
19:35Is that the vibe?
19:36Well, there's a bit more to it than that.
19:39Oh, of course.
19:39No, no, no, this is the one that's going to turn the best man speech on its head.
19:42All right.
19:43I thought I'd heard it all when it came to wedding speeches, Margaret, but that one.
19:48Wow.
19:50You having fun?
19:51I am.
19:52Thank you so much for asking.
19:53Because to me, it looks like you're covering your anxiety.
19:55I've prepared my speech and you haven't.
20:02You just, you dropped off the programs and then you left?
20:04Yes.
20:05Right, you didn't see Doris?
20:07Is this your only work?
20:08Yes, it is.
20:10Is that who that was?
20:11You don't recall her saying something like, remember anything?
20:15No.
20:21Do you have any idea if, I mean, we're not trying to rush you?
20:25I know, I just...
20:26Glenn, I'm not completely oblivious to all of this.
20:32If there's anything I can do to help, push things along.
20:38Actually, what chemicals do you have at your lab?
20:42Here we go, Senior Sergeant Stringer.
20:50Oh, wow, beautiful.
20:52So how long have you been here, Phil?
20:54Oh, uh, 25 years.
20:56Wow.
20:57Ah, I know.
20:59You know, but sometimes I think, you know, I should have had a little go at being a detective.
21:04You would have been great.
21:05I know, I know.
21:07Mm.
21:08So what took you to Spout Creek?
21:12Oh, look, it's, you know, it's quiet.
21:16I get to fish and got myself a little hobby farm.
21:20Mm-hmm.
21:20So there was no epiphany, no realisation, why you shouldn't be a detective?
21:30This is an interview, isn't it?
21:34Nicely done, Phil, but you should not be alone.
21:40Oh.
21:41Well, there you go.
21:42See, you would have been great.
21:46It was Doris who sent you to the country, wasn't it?
21:49And you've done your research.
21:51It was one call, Malcolm.
21:52It's not a secret.
21:54You're a very good detective.
21:56You, you would have made it to the big league.
21:58And Doris Carides, she ruins your career.
22:01It's not what you're thinking.
22:02Do you have organophosphates on your little hobby farm?
22:05Pesticides?
22:06Yes.
22:07But then half the farms in the district had that stuff hanging around.
22:10Look, Doris sending me to the country, it saved me.
22:15Because my drinking was out of control.
22:17I was a liability.
22:18Her sending me, it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.
22:23Do you have any idea why she might have wanted to talk to you?
22:25No, no.
22:26I avoided her.
22:28She's scary.
22:28You used to be able to get your photos in an hour.
22:36You could stand at the window of the chemist and watch them popping out of the machine.
22:40They would pop, pop, pop.
22:41Is that so?
22:42Yeah.
22:44They'd be married by now if this hadn't all happened.
22:48We'll get them there.
22:49Did she have that bag on the way in?
22:53Nope.
22:54No.
22:55Joy Minna.
22:59Stop!
22:59Police!
23:00Go, Felix!
23:01Get up!
23:08Stop!
23:08You have anything you want to say for yourself?
23:32I have no idea where any of this came from.
23:36Four horses in last month for surgery.
23:47Big operations, it looks like.
23:50Six dog legs.
23:52Amputated.
23:53Also last month.
23:54You know, it just seems like more surgeries than you could bid on, if I'm honest.
24:00Get to the point.
24:01Where's all that ketamine going, Joy?
24:04Is that what Doris wanted to talk to you about?
24:06No.
24:07Oh, come on.
24:10A detective has your name on a list.
24:11She ends up poisoned at a wedding you're both at and you with your entire drug lab here.
24:16Well, it doesn't look good.
24:17I had no idea who she was.
24:18I'll admit that from time to time, I may have moved small quantities of ketamine to third parties.
24:26It's not a crime.
24:28Yes, yes it is.
24:29Well, it's a victimless one.
24:32No, it's not.
24:33The point is, I would never harm anyone.
24:37Since that day that I found a bird in our driveway with a broken wing, I named her Alison.
24:43I nursed her back to life.
24:45I fed her through a milk dropper.
24:46The moment that I took her in my hands and I watched her fly away, I knew that I would devote my life to helping animals.
24:55To being a vet.
24:57Except you're not a vet.
25:06Let her press.
25:07So?
25:11Look closely.
25:12Your press leaves the tiniest little indentations just there.
25:23On everything you print.
25:25The charm of doing things by hand, I believe you called it.
25:29You'll also find that little indentation is just, oh look, just there.
25:36Like a little invisible signature.
25:40You told us you didn't know anyone on that list.
25:43But it turns out, you've been forging documents for Joy for years.
25:49And not just her fake degree.
25:52Not a fake.
25:53Shut up, Joy.
25:54Her licenses, insurance, drug consignments, all fake.
25:58So not only do you know Joy, you're in a criminal conspiracy with her.
26:03And considering how much ketamine we've got going through that little clinic.
26:07Not that much.
26:08Shut up, Joy.
26:09It seems very lucrative.
26:12Doris was investigating something.
26:14She found you last night, put the wind up you and you realized, oh, you were looking at a few years at the very least.
26:19And that's not something you'd be keen on, considering your condition.
26:23So what did you do?
26:24Did you call your accomplice?
26:28Oh, you don't have to answer us.
26:30We can just wait until you get your phone records.
26:33Which I have just sent off for.
26:37Fine.
26:38You can have me on the forgery.
26:40Rubbish.
26:40Shut up, Joy.
26:45Look, I didn't kill her.
26:47I swear, I didn't even know her.
26:52Hi, Bill.
26:57Did you want a drink?
26:59Oh, God.
27:00I would love one.
27:01But, well, I'm working now.
27:06Oh, honey.
27:08Not the wedding you imagined?
27:10No.
27:10No.
27:12Well, if anyone can solve it.
27:13I know.
27:14She's brilliant.
27:15I get it.
27:18Look, this is going to be something that you tell your kids.
27:20You know, there was a murder at my wedding.
27:24Sorry to intrude, ladies.
27:26Can I get you anything?
27:27Oh, look.
27:28I'm going to just have it.
27:29Sorry.
27:32Hmm.
27:32Come.
27:33Let me prepare you a small plate.
27:35Yeah, hi.
27:36Yeah.
27:36Feels strong.
27:38Yeah, look.
27:38I'm going to have to be brief here.
27:40Um, remember that time that I asked for a detective and you didn't send me one?
27:45Hmm?
27:45Well, I'm going to call in that favor.
27:48I need some background.
27:50Yes, Tabitha and Joy knew each other.
27:57They were conspiring.
27:59Great.
28:00We still don't know how the killer did it.
28:03Or why Doris said your name.
28:04Yes, thank you.
28:07Look, I know it's awkward on Glenn's wedding day, but she said it.
28:10It's a clue.
28:11We can't ignore it.
28:13I'm not ignoring it.
28:14Believe me.
28:14It just doesn't help us figure out how the killer poisoned the one program that Doris took.
28:20Searched every corner of our vet clinic.
28:24Found loads of drugs, but no pesticides or anything that could have killed Doris.
28:29Or anti-inflammatories.
28:30And I could do with some because my feet are still absolutely killing me.
28:34Maybe, uh...
28:36Maybe we put a pin in it.
28:39Regroup tomorrow.
28:40No.
28:41No, it's their wedding day.
28:43That's what I mean.
28:44We don't have to solve it today.
28:46We can get there.
28:47We will.
28:50We will.
28:51We will.
28:51We'll get there.
28:55Glenn?
28:57Hmm?
29:08Hello?
29:12In here.
29:17That's, um, what can I smell?
29:23Vinegar.
29:24Yeah.
29:24It's, uh, very sick, so I'm using it as a stopper.
29:30I know there's not many guys that could just improvise a dark room at short notice.
29:33That's really not that complicated.
29:35Start with a developer, which is just a high pH solution with a reducing agent, something
29:39that donates electrons.
29:40I'm using instant coffee for the cafeic acid, so it's...
29:43Yeah, as thrilling as this lecture is, Glenn, maybe.
29:47Sorry.
29:47No, it's okay.
29:50It's actually really fun to remember what a massive nerd you are.
29:55Stuck in a dark room, stinking up chemicals.
29:58Don't have much luck on my wedding days.
30:00Hmm.
30:01Not a dig at you.
30:04You're a bit of a dig at you.
30:07How's Daisy?
30:09She's okay.
30:12Why did she say your name?
30:15Doris, when she died.
30:18I don't know.
30:19It's weird, though, isn't it?
30:21Did she even know you?
30:23I don't think so.
30:25I will figure it out, though.
30:27And then you'll have your wedding day.
30:29Then you'll be off to Bali or wherever.
30:32Road trip up the coast camping.
30:35Cool.
30:37We're leaving first thing in the morning.
30:38The ute's already packed.
30:39Ha.
30:40Of course it is.
30:42Right.
30:43Well, I've developed all the photos,
30:45and I've put a few aside that have Doris in them.
30:48I think that might be helpful.
30:49Mm-hmm.
30:49Have a look at this.
30:50That's where it gets a bit weird.
30:57That is weird.
30:58They're all of you, Reggie.
31:06Got a fan?
31:08Who took all of them?
31:09We don't know.
31:10You know, the cameras were all over the place.
31:13Could have been anyone.
31:14Well, someone's definitely got a crush on you.
31:16I know about that.
31:19If you want us to,
31:20we could do a DNA test on all the cameras,
31:23get a sample from each of the guests,
31:25put, like, a line-up for your perusal.
31:28That's inappropriate, Con.
31:30Sorry.
31:31Could you?
31:32We could not.
31:33Oh.
31:34But in terms of police work,
31:38there are a few here that are useful with Doris in them.
31:41Doris arrives.
31:43Doris takes a drink.
31:44Doris sits down.
31:47They're all from before the ceremony.
31:48I know.
31:49Nothing here of Doris with a program
31:51or anyone doing anything with a program.
31:55So it's a, uh, it's a dead end.
31:58Yeah.
32:00Unless...
32:01Hmm?
32:03You want us to frame one for you?
32:04That's also inappropriate, Mackenzie.
32:07Could you?
32:08Boss?
32:15Boss?
32:26Doris sending you to the country was the best thing for you, was it?
32:29Yeah, yeah, it was.
32:30I've still got friends in the city, Malcolm.
32:34I know that you reapplied for the Homicide Squad every single year.
32:39And I know who turned you down every single year,
32:43and that was Doris Carides.
32:45So I still wanted to be a detective.
32:47You know, kill me.
32:49Our force will never be strong
32:51while cows like Carides are still breathing.
32:57I stand ready to serve.
33:01That was you, wasn't it?
33:03I mean, it says Craig Forrester,
33:06but we know that's one of the non-diplumes you use
33:08on private police officer groups.
33:10You know, I was a good detective.
33:21I made one mistake,
33:23and she blacklisted me.
33:26What was the mistake?
33:28Oh.
33:32You know, the foot I found on the beach?
33:36Me and a few of the boys, um,
33:38we took some stupid photos with her.
33:42You know, we're just mucking about.
33:44But, um,
33:46Doris hit the roof.
33:48Unethical, inappropriate, fine.
33:50But the real issue is that it turned out
33:52that the foot belonged to Mark Jarvis.
33:56Mark Jarvis?
33:57The guy who went missing off the boat with his wife?
34:00Yeah, Chloe Jarvis.
34:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:01About 12 years ago.
34:03You see, Doris was obsessed with this case
34:06because she always thought that Chloe killed Mark,
34:10pocketed all their money,
34:11and got away with it.
34:12You know, that she changed her name
34:13and went off and made a new life for herself somewhere else.
34:16And that me mucking about with the foot
34:18tanked the case.
34:19But she didn't have a case
34:21because they drowned.
34:23You know, they drowned.
34:24End of story.
34:25Sharks got to the damn foot.
34:27But, oh, no, no, no, no.
34:28Those photos were enough for Doris Carides
34:31to ruin my career.
34:32You know, you do sound angry.
34:36Of course I'm angry!
34:38You know, I love being a detective.
34:41I loved it.
34:41And she took that away from me for one dumb mistake.
34:44So, yeah, I'm angry.
34:45And I'm not sorry she's dead.
34:47But come on, guys.
34:49Use your brains.
34:50How could I have killed her?
34:51I didn't know she was going to be here.
34:53He's right.
34:59He didn't know Doris would be here.
35:01And it's not as though he's going to have poison on him
35:03on the off chance that they bump into each other.
35:06I mean, even if he did,
35:07we don't know how the killer
35:10guaranteed that Colin would hand Doris that
35:13poison program.
35:18Or why she said your name?
35:19Yes, thank you, Colin.
35:20Or why she said my name.
35:23Oh, dear.
35:23Excuse me, Matt.
35:25Sorry.
35:26Sorry.
35:26Sorry to interrupt.
35:27Um, I need to make an announcement.
35:32Um.
35:36Uh, I'm...
35:37We're going to send everyone home and reschedule.
35:40It's not going to happen today, and that's fine.
35:43No.
35:44No, I...
35:46I said I would solve it,
35:48and so I will.
35:49I will solve it.
35:50So just...
35:50Just leave me alone
35:52and...
35:53Let me think.
35:55But you haven't.
35:58You haven't solved it.
36:01You told us to wait.
36:03So we have put everything on hold all day,
36:05but you haven't got anywhere.
36:06You were never going to.
36:07Oh, but no one can argue with you when you set your mind on something.
36:12God, I have tried for months,
36:15every single day,
36:17to be smiling and happy and fair to you
36:20because you are important.
36:21You're important to Glenn,
36:23but I can't get away from you.
36:25I can't get away from you.
36:27I mean, someone collapses at my wedding
36:29and says your name as they die.
36:35So stuff it.
36:36I am not sending anyone home.
36:38I am going to marry the man I love today
36:40with my family
36:41and my friends
36:42and Mackenzie Clark.
36:43You are no longer welcome.
36:47Now, that's a good speech.
36:56Christopher, let's do it.
36:59Glenn, let's get married.
37:00Oh, babe, that one's mine.
37:09Oh, yeah.
37:10Sorry.
37:12Thanks.
37:13Thanks.
37:13Thanks.
37:27Bye.
37:32Bye.
37:37Bye.
37:38Bye.
37:39Bye.
37:39Bye.
37:39Bye.
37:40Bye.
37:43Oh, my God.
38:13Uh, Dolphin Cove police station, I need you to send me something over, and quickly.
38:18Ladies and gentlemen.
38:21Well, here we are again.
38:24So far, not the day we would have expected.
38:28But Glenn and Daisy are not a conventional couple.
38:33This moment, these people here together will never happen again.
38:39So let's take time to enjoy that, and...
38:43Christopher, let's move things along.
38:46Right?
38:47Yes!
38:49On we go then.
38:51And so now, we come to the exchange of...
39:01The rings, please.
39:08Oh, right, that's me.
39:09Glenn, say after me.
39:18Daisy, with this ring, I thee wed.
39:22Daisy, with this ring...
39:26Stop!
39:29Stop the wedding!
39:30What?
39:31I know who the killer is.
39:38What was Doris Carides doing at Glenn and Daisy's wedding?
39:44That was the first question.
39:47She wasn't invited.
39:48Neither the bride nor the groom had any idea who she was.
39:51The only clue to her presence was a list in her pocket with three names on it.
40:00Malcolm Stringer, Tabitha Dewitt, and Joy Mina.
40:04What linked them other than being at this wedding?
40:12Doris was on to something.
40:15We didn't know what, but somebody did.
40:17That somebody didn't want Doris sniffing around, so they poisoned her with organophosphate, pesticide, a contact poison.
40:28But how?
40:29How did the killer manage to poison Doris with a program handed out at random by a police officer?
40:40Well, they didn't.
40:42No, the killer wanted us looking at the programs.
40:45They wanted us trying to unpick an impossible crime.
40:48Because then, then we wouldn't be looking at what actually killed Doris.
40:53Her cocktail glass containing her drink.
40:58What a perfect murder weapon.
41:01Covered in a poison almost instantly lethal to the touch, and then thrown in the dishwasher with all the rest.
41:08Evidence destroyed.
41:10But there was pesticide on the inside of the program. I tested it.
41:14Yes. Yes. Thank you.
41:17You are correct.
41:19The killer planted the poison program in the commotion following Doris' collapse.
41:24But still...
41:27Why?
41:27I knew that there had to be a link between the names on that list, but what we didn't realize is that we were actually investigating two murders.
41:40Hmm. Doris' and the last perfect murder, the killer plan.
41:47Their own.
41:48The Chloe Jarvis case. Malcolm worked it with Doris all those years ago.
41:56Chloe and Mark Jarvis took a boat out to sea and were never seen again.
42:03Both drowned. Is that right, Malcolm?
42:05That was the prevailing opinion, yes.
42:07What was Doris' theory?
42:09That Chloe killed Mark and got away with it.
42:12Uh-huh.
42:13Why did she think that?
42:14We found her...
42:15His foot washed up...
42:17Well, I found his foot washed up on the beach, but it was...
42:20It was a mess. There was no way of telling what had happened to her.
42:25And Chloe, what?
42:26She was safe somewhere, living her best life, enjoying all that money?
42:30Well, that was Doris' theory.
42:33Well, it was... It was more than... than just a theory.
42:37It became...
42:38An obsession for Doris.
42:42The one that got away.
42:45That's why you were on the list, Malcolm.
42:46Doris Kareli thought Chloe Jarvis was still alive, and she wanted to talk to the detectives who worked the original case.
42:53Is... Is she still alive?
42:57No, no.
42:59No, that is what Doris got wrong.
43:03Chloe Jarvis didn't murder her husband.
43:07Her husband murdered her.
43:11Isn't that right, Mark?
43:16I'm sorry.
43:20Me?
43:21Is this... Is this some sort of a...
43:23A joke?
43:24Oh, I don't know, Mark.
43:26Jokes, they're not really my thing.
43:33Sit down, mate.
43:37Take a seat.
43:37Take a seat.
43:37Doris Kareli, she was a...
43:44A true detective.
43:46You know, even in retirement, the Chloe Jarvis case, it haunted her.
43:51So she looked into those leads again, and she made lists of people to talk to, and where they were now.
43:57The South Coast, Malcolm Stringer, the detective who found Mark's foot, Tabitha Dewitt, a printer with a sideline in forgery who was questioned at the time, under suspicion that she forged documents for Chloe Jarvis.
44:09And Joy Mina, a local vet who really just will do anything for money, and who we now know is in a criminal conspiracy with Tabitha.
44:18But, Doris thought that these people, they might, they might just know something about what happened to Chloe Jarvis.
44:27She found Tabitha here, last night, when she was delivering the printing.
44:34The ever-innocent Tabitha knew nothing.
44:38Joy Mina.
44:39Doesn't ring a bell.
44:41Sorry.
44:41But she did make a call to an old friend.
44:50Tabitha's the one that forged the documents, turning you from Mark Jarvis, murderer, into Christopher Fletcher, wedding celebrant.
44:58Bearded now, different hair, bit more weight on.
45:00And with a tell-tale imperfection on your license, just there.
45:04From Tabitha's letterpress.
45:07Thanks to Tabitha, you suspected Doris would be at this.
45:11I mean, poisoning her glass, that was a bit of a risk, because you needed her to put down her drink in order to switch it.
45:18But, considering the stakes for you, it was a risk worth taking.
45:23So, so what?
45:27This is all just supposition.
45:29There is no glass, there is no evidence.
45:32You, you can't prove anything.
45:35Huh.
45:38I would have missed it.
45:40I would have missed it.
45:44But then I saw how easily Daisy picked up the wrong bouquet without noticing it, and then things fell into place.
45:52These photos are taken from before the wedding.
45:55And then, just a moment later, there's more liquid in her glass than there was when she took it.
46:07And that was because of this.
46:08A hand swapping the drinks.
46:10Your distinctive ring giving you away.
46:13And she knew, didn't she, when you started the ceremony, Doris realized too late that it wasn't Chloe Jarvis that she was looking for, but her husband, her murderer.
46:33Oh, uh, she could only manage one word as she died.
46:42Not Mac, not Mac, but Mark.
46:47Mark.
46:53Doris Caridi solved her case, and she was identifying you, the man who cut off his own foot to get away with murdering his wife.
47:01Well, you know, you didn't do the actual amputation.
47:04Now, that would have been a local vet who 12 years ago bought her surgery in Dolphin Cove around the time that Mark and Chloe disappeared.
47:16Joy, Mina, the last name on that list.
47:21This is absolutely ridiculous.
47:26Colin?
47:29Felix?
47:31It was the left, wasn't it, Malcolm?
47:41I'll never forget it.
47:43Loafer's much appreciated.
47:49Excuse fingers.
47:50Excuse fingers.
48:01Now, that would be a hell of a coincidence, wouldn't it?
48:09Mark Jarvis, you are under arrest for the murder of Doris Carinius.
48:14And Chloe Jarvis.
48:17You can't escape your past, Mark.
48:20It might take years, you might move miles away, try and become a different person, but at some point, like it or not, you have to reckon with it.
48:30You don't have to say or do anything, but anything you do say or do may be used in evidence, I guess.
48:37What a day.
48:51Oh, I've been to some weddings in my time, let me tell you, I found a bride, Cassandra Alexiu, hashing her bridesmaid in the vestry before the ceremony.
49:02That was a wild ride, but I've never had a murder, but still, we got him in the end, so that's another tick for the Rocco files.
49:10You done?
49:11All done.
49:12Good.
49:13Hey, Reggie.
49:14Mm-hmm?
49:14Oh, you forgot this?
49:16Not another one.
49:17I mean, honestly, what a weirdo, taking all of these.
49:22Oh.
49:23Well, that one's actually quite lovely.
49:27You can always take a good photo of someone.
49:29You just have to get them when they're most themselves.
49:33Are you the weirdo?
49:35I thought, do you deserve the nice photo of yourself?
49:38And you took all of them?
49:39Pretty much.
49:40Oh, that's a really lovely thing to do, Felix.
49:45I might just crop out the murderer in the background, though, I think.
49:50Yeah, I was going to suggest that.
49:53Sook.
49:54Oh, wow.
50:10You know the worst thing?
50:22He wasn't even a real celebrant.
50:24So even if we got married, we wouldn't be married.
50:29I didn't know you felt like that.
50:37About Mac.
50:39Really?
50:40We can reschedule.
50:45It'll be okay.
50:47That's what I want.
50:49Chance to relive this day all over again.
50:53Someone was murdered.
50:55It's hard to plan for that.
50:57No, no, no, no.
50:57It's not that.
50:59Of course, someone lost their life.
51:01Oh, I get it.
51:03You know, she has to investigate it.
51:05What is it, then?
51:07It's the way you look at her when she does.
51:09I saw it once when you were solving something with her
51:16and I tried to ignore it and that was my mistake
51:20because then we end up here on our wedding day
51:24and you're more excited about her than getting married to me.
51:29That's not true.
51:30Isn't it?
51:30It's the way you look at her when you look at her.
51:39I'm sorry.
51:44I think I'm done.
51:46Fine.
51:47We don't need to be married.
51:48It's just a piece to paper.
51:50Not with the wedding, I think.
51:55I think I'm done with us.
51:57No, you see, Taz, it's just one piece.
51:59I'm sorry.
52:00We can do whatever you want.
52:02Taz.
52:05Bye.
52:09And so Glenn and Daisy are more than a couple to me.
52:27They're the family that found me and made me feel at home.
52:30They're an example of what love should be.
52:33An easy bundle of kindness and warmth and humour.
52:37So to them, I wish every day of everything they bring to everyone else.
52:42Happiness, joy and love.
52:45To Glenn and Daisy.
52:47To Glenn and Daisy.
52:49Daisy, applause, applause, smiling through tears.
52:51What a triumph.
52:52Oh, so you're still single.
52:53Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
53:01Go on then.
53:03Say what you've got to say.
53:11God, we've been wanting to do that all day, haven't we?
53:14Let's go get a drink.
53:19You coming?
53:21Yeah.
53:34Did I ruin your wedding?
53:36What are you talking about?
53:37It's a fantastic day.
53:38It's better than I imagined.
53:39I won't come when you redo it.
53:45Well, we won't be redoing it.
53:50Oh.
53:57I know that I'm obsessive.
53:59And that I, um...
54:01That I can't let anything go.
54:03So, um...
54:04I do see that I could have dealt with today
54:09differently, but, um...
54:12I just thought if I could, um...
54:15If I could help you
54:17get your wedding day,
54:20then, um...
54:21I could do something that made you
54:24happy and, um...
54:28But then, um...
54:32My brain, it just got to...
54:35Um...
54:38I'm so sorry.
54:43I don't know why I'm like this.
54:45I just...
54:47I don't know any other way to be.
54:50That'd be the easy thing to do, wouldn't it?
54:57Explain you, Mac.
54:58This is all your fault.
55:00But it's not.
55:03It's not your fault for coming back to Dolphin Cove.
55:06For trying to catch a killer.
55:09You are who you are.
55:13I'm the reason everything falls apart.
55:16There's two weddings so far,
55:17and what do they have in common?
55:19Something is not right,
55:21and I'm not gonna figure out what it is
55:22living the same life
55:23in the same place.
55:29But you love it here.
55:31Yeah.
55:33Everyone says that.
55:37Um...
55:38How long are you going for?
55:42A while, Mackenzie.
55:44A long while.
55:49Ah!
55:51Maybe.
55:52Maybe.
55:52I'll be back to you from there.
55:59I need people to ë‚´ì«“ at an angel.
56:00Remember?
56:03I don't think so.
56:05If I don't like anything,
56:07I can hear them.
56:08Let me show you.
56:09Are you ready for this?
56:12Littlefonds.
56:13About.
