00:00Delighted to attend.
00:01Frankie?
00:03Snake.
00:04Uh, did it get her? Was she bitten?
00:06This was an accident. This is not my fault.
00:09Since you've come home, everything is harder.
00:11Oh, your life, it would just be so much easier if I'd never come back.
00:14I might have said some things about it being easier if you weren't here.
00:18It's not true.
00:19Gotta get this box in the road. Wedding's only around the corner.
00:22Your wedding won't be a nightmare.
00:24This one will be perfect.
00:30Welcome to Daisy and Glenn's wedding.
00:41You've got your signature cocktail there, pear spritzer.
00:43We've called it the perfect pear, because they are.
00:46Go easy, though, because they're a little bit strong.
00:49Glenn strong. Thank you. I'll write my own checks.
00:52Perfect.
00:53Oh.
00:54How are we feeling?
00:55Oh, I think he's a bit nervous.
00:56I'm not nervous.
00:57He's nervous.
00:58Mate, before you know it, you'll be married to an absolute legend.
01:01And then listening to the most hilarious yet heartfelt best man speech that's ever been delivered.
01:06Are we ever going to stop hearing about this speech?
01:08However, I can't vouch for the bridesmaid.
01:11Ah, yes. That's Kat.
01:13She's asked Daisy for a printout with photos of the blokes who are single, or her words,
01:18in a relationship that's a little bit shaky.
01:20Bing-bong, bing-bong, bing-bong, special announcement.
01:23I am an envoy from our bride, sent to inform me that she is a fraction delayed.
01:29Delayed?
01:30Challenges with the hair.
01:31I am told, being met with aplomb, she should be here in a trice.
01:35Trice?
01:36Trice.
01:37She's coming, though.
01:38Of course.
01:39Hmm.
01:40I just want it to be perfect.
01:41Oh, no, it's going to be perfect.
01:42Where's Frankie?
01:43Oh.
01:44Stay still.
01:45There.
01:46Okay.
01:47Okay.
01:48Oh.
01:49Yes, there is nothing left to do, but, go.
02:08Come on.
02:12Oh, there's Claire in party! Claire!
02:17Oh, hello! Pardon, pardon, excuse me, but no photographs, please.
02:22What? At all?
02:24The bride and groom have requested an analogue wedding.
02:27There will, of course, be official photos, but for the guests.
02:30Click, click.
02:32Click, click?
02:33Have fun.
02:35He's a bit of a card, isn't he?
02:37Hey, smile.
02:38No, no photos.
02:39It's a disposable.
02:41At all.
02:42You cannot take a good photo of me.
02:44It's a curse.
02:45Really?
02:46Yeah, so I used to chuck a sickie every school photo day.
02:50Just, it wasn't worth the embarrassment.
02:52No.
02:54Don't, Felix.
02:58Welcome.
02:59Uh, Colin Cartwright, best man.
03:01Sing out if I can help with anything.
03:03I'll be right, Carol.
03:04Uh, no, uh, Colin, actually.
03:07Who cares?
03:08Romantics.
03:11Everywhere.
03:17Malcolm Stringer.
03:19Philomena Strong.
03:20Well, well.
03:22What are you doing here?
03:24Well, my ex-wife is the bride's godmother.
03:27But she couldn't be here, thankfully.
03:29So, what about you?
03:32My son is the groom.
03:33You're kidding.
03:34I know.
03:37Are you still a detective?
03:38No, no.
03:39I'm, uh, I'm back in uniform now.
03:41I'm, I'm out at Spout Creek.
03:43Spout Creek?
03:44Spout Creek.
03:45Wow.
03:46Why's that?
03:47Oh, I don't know.
03:48Need to change the pace.
03:49Oh, yeah.
03:50Finding that foot on the beach didn't turn you off, did it?
03:53Well, it'd turn anybody off, wouldn't it?
03:56Hey, so, uh, you know where you're sitting.
04:03Uh, would you excuse me for a moment, Phil?
04:10Frankie!
04:11Oh, ha, ha, girl.
04:21I know.
04:23Awkward.
04:24No, you.
04:25Look.
04:26Look at this beautiful girl.
04:28She's recovered well, hasn't she?
04:30Keep away from snakes from now on, please.
04:34And you.
04:35Keep her away from snakes from now on, please.
04:37Thanks, Dr. Joy.
04:38You're my best.
04:39Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin.
04:44Take a seat.
04:45Not a side.
04:46You are loved by the groom and by the bride.
04:50The very best of luck.
04:53Not that you'll need it.
04:55No.
04:56Because, um, today, luck is not a factor
04:59because you're getting married and Godspeed to you.
05:05to you.
05:08Uh, Glenn.
05:10The bride has arrived.
05:11The moment is upon us.
05:13Why?
05:14That way I'm happy.
05:16But-
05:17Thoughts do with me.
05:18Cause I wasn't talking to you to die.
05:19Home, I was just a professional.
05:20That way I use the dress.
05:21Be and the, having no apples.
05:23It's bad.
05:24If you're any without bumping,
05:27you're willing to eat.
05:29Go around.
06:00Ladies and gentlemen, please.
06:23Please.
06:27What a wonderful day.
06:30We are in, as my partner loves to say, an exquisite moment.
06:36Hello, my name is Christopher Fletcher and I am duly appointed by law to solemnize marriages
06:42and to officiate in this wedding today between Glen Albert Strong and Daisy Deidre Dixon.
06:51And so, if there are no objections, I will proceed.
06:57Oh.
06:58Ah.
06:59Uh, madam?
07:00Uh, uh, madam?
07:02Thanks.
07:03Uh, madam, please.
07:04Uh.
07:05Fuck.
07:06Fuck.
07:07Fuck.
07:08Fuck.
07:10Okay.
07:11Okay.
07:12Oh.
07:13Okay.
07:14Oh.
07:15Can you talk to me?
07:16Oh.
07:17Okay.
07:18Oh.
07:19Oh.
07:20Oh.
07:21Oh.
07:22Oh.
07:23Oh.
07:24Oh.
07:25Oh.
07:26Oh.
07:28Oh.
07:30Oh.
07:31She's dead.
07:51Who is she?
07:53I don't know.
07:54Daze?
07:55I don't know her either.
07:58But she's at your wedding.
07:59It's Doris Caridi's.
08:01I recognised her when she walked in.
08:03Oh, my God, so it is.
08:05Who's Doris Caridi? Who are you?
08:08I'm Malcolm Stringer.
08:09Doris is a detective, a retired detective.
08:12You worked with her, didn't you?
08:13Back in the day, yeah.
08:15She said something just as she collapsed.
08:17Did anyone catch it?
08:18Yeah, I thought it was, what, Mac?
08:21I mean, I could be wrong, my hearing's not great,
08:23I need to get a check, but that is what it sounded like.
08:25Why would she say that? It doesn't make any sense.
08:31All right, she's foaming around the edges of her mouth.
08:38She's bit her tongue.
08:40Seizure?
08:42Mm.
08:46Look at her fingertips.
08:48They're red and whisted.
08:50Contact poison.
08:53The only thing I can think of is organophosphate.
08:55Pesticide?
08:56Yeah, it's highly toxic.
08:57You can't bite anymore, but some farms still have it around.
09:00Uh, Malcolm, Malcolm, you saw her walking in, didn't you?
09:03And she was fine.
09:04She was.
09:05If it was, it had to be incredibly fast-acting.
09:07It would be.
09:09But how was it transmitted?
09:12She's not holding anything.
09:13She's not touching.
09:14Everyone, um, put your, put your, put your, your brochures, your, your manuals, your wedding
09:30manuals, your programs, put your programs down and don't touch them.
09:33Don't panic, everyone.
09:35Just put them down as fast as you can.
09:37Yep.
09:37Don't touch them.
09:38Um, Felix, um, uh, get, get everyone inside and, and bag the programs.
09:43I need statements from everyone, I need to know where they were sitting, what did they
09:45touch, if they saw Doris, if they saw anything.
09:48Did they have a program?
09:49Got it.
09:50And get them to wash their hands with soap.
09:52None of the others have any symptoms, so hopefully they're feeling.
09:55Can I get everybody inside, please, right now, up the stairs.
09:59Around that way, just keep your hands up.
10:00Yep.
10:04I had the programs out, I mean, I, I, I, I, I touched them all.
10:07Colin, best man.
10:09How do you feel?
10:09Uh, fine.
10:13Actually, maybe a little bit lightheaded?
10:17No, I'm fine, I, I, I'm fine.
10:18But how do we know for sure?
10:20Could you do tests?
10:22What?
10:23Now?
10:24Yes.
10:25The faster I know what we're dealing with, the quicker we can figure this out.
10:28Well, look, but are we gonna figure something out today, Mackenzie?
10:31This is a crime scene.
10:33I think we should let these people go.
10:35No.
10:36No, the chances are the killer is still here.
10:38How fast can you do it?
10:42It's a really simple test, half an hour at most.
10:48Okay.
10:49Okay.
10:54Oh, boy.
10:56Glenn.
10:57Days, I...
10:58What, you're leaving?
10:58I won't be long, I promise.
11:00The sooner we figure this out, the sooner it can all happen.
11:03Okay.
11:04Why did you mention Mack's name?
11:06I, I don't know.
11:10Hey, I love you.
11:13We can sort this out, okay?
11:15How about I get us a drink?
11:26Malcolm.
11:27Malcolm.
11:28When did you last see Doris?
11:30Look, um...
11:31I, I really don't know Doris that well.
11:35Um, we worked together on a couple of cases back when I was starting out as a detective,
11:39that's all.
11:40Right, so years, years.
11:41Yeah.
11:41If you didn't know her that well, why is your name on a list in her pocket?
11:46My...
11:47Well...
11:47Well...
11:49I don't know.
11:51I don't...
11:51Um, what are the other names?
11:53Tabitha Dewitt Joy Mina.
11:56Tabitha...
11:57No, I don't know them.
12:00What's happening?
12:02I am trying to figure that out.
12:06Daisy,
12:07whoever did this is, is probably still here.
12:10So...
12:11I am going to find out who it is as quick as I can,
12:15and make sure that you both get the...
12:18the beautiful wedding that you deserve.
12:23Can you tell me what these three people have in common?
12:26They're all here.
12:28Malcolm, Tabitha did the invitations and the signage,
12:32and Joy.
12:34Frankie's vet.
12:35Yeah, they're all invited.
12:37I'm like...
12:38Doris.
12:40Okay.
12:40Um,
12:42let them know we need to speak to them,
12:44figure out why they're on this list.
12:45Okay, will do.
12:48Never seen it before in my life.
12:50Look at me.
12:51I'm a printer, for God's sake.
12:53And you, you printed the...
12:56the programs?
12:58Yes.
12:59And the idea that they could be used to harm anyone.
13:03And you delivered them to the venue?
13:06Last night,
13:07with all the signage.
13:10Okay, can you tell me about the printing process?
13:12You, uh, you print them on a machine.
13:14By machine, absolutely not.
13:16It's letterpress, all manual.
13:19The charm of doing things by hand.
13:22And I can assure you,
13:23there was nothing untoward about the programs
13:26when I delivered them here.
13:29Oh, just, you...
13:31Don't go anywhere.
13:33We want to talk to you again.
13:39It's so horrible!
13:42I think everyone's having a really good time.
13:45I think it's really fun.
13:45I think it's really good.
13:47Glenn.
13:48Just give me a sec.
13:52Hey.
13:53Guess what?
13:54What?
13:55I love you.
13:57And you look so hot.
14:00She is a bit annoying, though.
14:03No, she's just...
14:04She's just trying to do her job.
14:09You've always been way too nice about her.
14:11It's definitely something on the program.
14:16I'll send it away to the city for a more detailed tox.
14:19But I used a diachloromethane as a solvent
14:22to extract an organophosphate from the papers.
14:25And you've endorsed the symptoms and manner of death.
14:27We are looking at poisoning from some sort of pesticide.
14:31So, uh, should I be worried?
14:33Did you open any of the programs?
14:35No.
14:36Then you're fine.
14:37I only found poison on the inside.
14:39And I took a few others as samples.
14:40Nothing on any of them.
14:41Only one of the programs was poison.
14:46I can't say for certain, but it looks like it.
14:50And they were handed out completely at random?
14:52Yeah, yeah.
14:52I just took them out of the box
14:53and then handed them out to whoever was there.
14:57When did you hand Doris hers?
14:58I handed her one just before the ceremony.
15:00She was the last to sit down.
15:03So could someone have distracted her
15:05and then swapped the program?
15:07Reggie and Felix were sat next to her.
15:09They would have noticed.
15:10So, a retired detective shows up to a wedding
15:14that she's not invited to
15:16with the names of three guests on a list in her pocket
15:19and somehow she ends up murdered.
15:22Yeah, not before saying your name.
15:25But the murder weapon is a poison program
15:28that you handed to her at random.
15:31So, how does the killer guarantee
15:33that you hand Doris the one program with poison on it?
15:40Doris Carides, former detective murdered at a wedding
15:48that she wasn't invited to.
15:50In her pocket was a list of three names.
15:53Those people are...
15:55Tabitha Dewitt, letterpress printer.
15:58Printed the programs, including probably the murder weapon.
16:01Delivered them.
16:01No further involvement.
16:02Joy Meena.
16:06It's Frankie's vet.
16:08Keep her away from snakes from now on, please.
16:10And senior sergeant Malcolm Stringer,
16:13former detective, works at Spout Creek Police Station.
16:15It's about 400km away.
16:17Worked with Doris back in the day.
16:18Hasn't seen her for years.
16:20Doesn't know why she was there or why he's on her list.
16:23Okay, so, something has to link these people.
16:27We just have to figure out what.
16:31Do we have any photos from the wedding?
16:33Maybe they captured something.
16:35I guess we're not allowed.
16:36Analog wedding.
16:37And the photographer was always focused on Daisy and Glenn.
16:40But, but, but, but.
16:43I collected all these.
16:45I'm going to ring around all the local chemists
16:47to see if anyone can develop them.
16:49Great, Reggie.
16:50Great.
16:51Okay.
16:51In the meantime, we are going to
16:55piece together Doris' last 24 hours,
16:58see if she was looking into anything.
16:59If she was, what was it?
17:00Hold on.
17:01I think I might have something.
17:03The waitress last night
17:05said that she saw Doris talking to someone.
17:08Who?
17:08Uh, the stationary lady.
17:11Yeah, Tabitha.
17:12Did she know what they were talking about?
17:14Uh, she said that she heard Doris
17:16saying something like, remember anything?
17:19Yeah.
17:19Tabitha.
17:21Tabitha.
17:21Hey.
17:33So, I reckon I called, like, what, half a dozen chemists
17:36and none of them have the machine to develop film anymore.
17:39They send it into the city and it takes, like, a week.
17:42We don't have a week.
17:44Oh, we know.
17:45I want to get this done quickly
17:46so Glenn's wedding isn't completely destroyed.
17:49Excuse me.
17:50Sorry.
17:50Excuse me.
17:51Hello.
17:51Um, didn't we tell you to stay until we've spoken to you?
17:55I can't hang around all afternoon.
17:57I have surgeries to prepare for.
17:59But, it's Saturday.
18:02Oh, nine to five job.
18:03Wouldn't that be nice?
18:04Is that all?
18:05Is that all?
18:06Is that all?
18:08Yeah.
18:08That's all.
18:09Joy.
18:11Bye, Joy.
18:13That's not all.
18:14Are you sure?
18:15Just smile and wave.
18:16Smile and wave.
18:21Vital surgery prep.
18:23Couldn't wait another moment.
18:25But she was planning on being at the wedding all day.
18:28Exactly.
18:29So, why is she so keen to leave?
18:32Follow her.
18:33Yep.
18:34Something she's not telling us.
18:35Hmm.
18:38This is nice.
18:39Hey, I quite like a waistcoat, actually.
18:42Oh, not how we imagined it.
18:44No.
18:45We're still doing it, though.
18:47Really?
18:49No, people have come from everywhere to be here because we love you.
18:52Jenny came from Hong Kong.
18:54You had Lisa come from London.
18:55You're not...
18:56I came from Adelaide.
18:58Adelaide.
18:59We're doing this.
19:02Oh, Mac.
19:03Annoying.
19:04Wow.
19:06Oi.
19:08Have you solved it yet?
19:13I can't go.
19:14I can't come in.
19:15Oh, my God.
19:17What if you don't get to do your speech?
19:19Well, that's not my concern.
19:22Okay.
19:22Well, I saw you practicing it out there.
19:24Had your little stopwatch going and everything.
19:25What's the plan with that?
19:27Is it like, make him laugh, make him cry?
19:29He's the best mate I ever had.
19:31Is that the vibe?
19:31Well, there's a bit more to it than that.
19:35Oh, of course.
19:35No, no, no.
19:36This is the one that's going to turn the best man speech on its head.
19:38All right.
19:39I thought I'd heard it all when it came to wedding speeches, Margaret.
19:42But that one...
19:43Wow.
19:44You having fun?
19:47I am.
19:48Thank you so much for asking.
19:49Because to me, it looks like you're covering your anxiety.
19:51I prepared my speech and you haven't.
19:58You just...
19:59You dropped off the programs and then you left?
20:00Yes.
20:01Right.
20:01You didn't see Doris?
20:02Is this your honey work?
20:04Yes, it is.
20:06Is that who that was?
20:07You don't recall her saying something like, remember anything?
20:11No.
20:17Do you have any idea if...
20:19I mean, we're not trying to rush here.
20:21I know, I just...
20:23Glenn, I'm not completely oblivious to all of this.
20:29If there's anything I can do to help push things along.
20:35Actually...
20:36What chemicals do you have at your lab?
20:43Here we go, Senior Sergeant Stringer.
20:46Oh, wow.
20:47Beautiful.
20:48So how long have you been here, Phil?
20:50Oh, uh...
20:5125 years.
20:52Wow.
20:53Ah.
20:54I know.
20:55You know, but sometimes I think, you know, I...
20:56Should have had a little go at being a detective.
21:00You would have been great.
21:01I know, I know.
21:03Mm.
21:04Oh.
21:04So what, uh, took you to Spout Creek?
21:08Oh, look.
21:10It's, you know, it's quiet.
21:12I get to fish.
21:13And got myself a little hobby farm.
21:16Mm-hmm.
21:16So there was no epiphany?
21:20No realisation?
21:22Why you shouldn't be a detective?
21:24This is an interview, isn't it?
21:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:29Nicely done, Phil.
21:30But you should not be alone.
21:36Oh.
21:37Well, there you go.
21:38See?
21:38You would have been great.
21:39It was Doris who sent you to the country, wasn't it?
21:45And you've done your research.
21:46It was one call, Malcolm.
21:48It's not a secret.
21:50You're a very good detective.
21:52You, you would have made it to the big league.
21:54And Doris Carides, she ruins your career.
21:57It's not what you're thinking.
21:58Do you have organophosphates on your little hobby farm?
22:01Pesticides?
22:02Yes.
22:03But then half the farms in the district had that stuff hanging around.
22:06Look, Doris sending me to the country, it saved me.
22:11Because my drinking was out of control.
22:13I was a liability.
22:14Her sending me, it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.
22:19Do you have any idea why she might have wanted to talk to you?
22:21No, no.
22:22I avoided her.
22:24She's scary.
22:29You used to be able to get your photos in an hour.
22:32You could stand at the window of the chemist and watch them popping out of the machine.
22:36They would pop, pop, pop, pop.
22:37Is that so?
22:38Yeah.
22:40They'd be married by now if this hadn't all happened.
22:44We'll get them there.
22:47Did she have that bag on the way in?
22:49Nope.
22:50No.
22:51Joy Minna!
22:55Stop!
22:55Police!
22:56Don't feel it.
22:57Get up!
23:04No!
23:06You have anything you want to say for yourself?
23:28I have no idea where any of this came from.
23:32Four horses in last month for surgery.
23:43Big operations, it looks like.
23:46Six dog legs.
23:48Amputated.
23:49Also last month.
23:51You know, it just seems like more surgeries than you could be doing, if I'm honest.
23:56Get to the point.
23:57Where's all that ketamine going, Joy?
23:59Is that what Doris wanted to talk to you about?
24:02No.
24:03Oh, come on.
24:06A detective has your name on a list.
24:07She ends up poisoned at a wedding you're both at, and you with your entire drug lab here.
24:12Well, it doesn't look good.
24:13I had no idea who she was.
24:14I'll admit that from time to time, I may have moved small quantities of ketamine to third parties.
24:22It's not a crime.
24:24Yes, it is.
24:25Well, it's a victimless one.
24:28No, it's not.
24:28The point is, I would never harm anyone.
24:33Since that day that I found a bird in our driveway with a broken wing, I named her Alison.
24:39I nursed her back to life.
24:41I fed her through a milk dropper.
24:43The moment that I took her in my hands and I watched her fly away, I knew that I would devote
24:49my life to helping animals.
24:51To being a vet.
24:53Except you're not a vet.
24:55Let her press.
25:03So?
25:07Look closely.
25:11Your press leaves the tiniest little indentations, just there, on everything you print.
25:20And the charm of doing things by hand, I believe you called it.
25:27You'll also find that little indentation is just, oh look, just there.
25:32Like a little invisible signature.
25:36You told us you didn't know anyone on that list.
25:39But it turns out, you've been forging documents, for Joy, for years.
25:45And not just her fake degree.
25:48Not a fake.
25:49Shut up, Joy.
25:50Her licences, insurance, drug consignments, all fake.
25:54So not only do you know Joy, you're in a criminal conspiracy with her.
25:58And considering how much ketamine we've got going through that little clinic.
26:03Not that much.
26:03Shut up, Joy.
26:04It seems very lucrative.
26:08Doris was investigating something.
26:10She found you last night, put the wind up you, and you realised, oh, you were looking
26:13at a few years at the very least, and that's not something you'd be keen on, considering
26:17your condition.
26:19So what did you do?
26:20Did you call your accomplice?
26:24Oh, you don't have to answer us.
26:26We can just wait until you get your phone records, which I have just sent off for.
26:33Fine.
26:33You can have me on the forgery.
26:36Rubbish.
26:36Shut up, Joy.
26:41Look, I didn't kill her, I swear.
26:44I didn't even know her.
26:51Hi, Phil.
26:53Did you want a drink?
26:55Oh, God, I would love one.
26:57But, well, I'm working now.
26:59Oh, honey.
27:04Not the wedding you imagined?
27:06No.
27:06No.
27:06No.
27:08Well, if anyone can solve it.
27:09I know.
27:10She's brilliant.
27:11I get it.
27:14Look, this is going to be something that you tell your kids.
27:17You know, there was a murder at my wedding.
27:19Sorry to intrude, ladies.
27:22Can I get you anything?
27:23Oh, look, I'm going to just have to...
27:25Sorry.
27:28Hmm.
27:28Come.
27:29Let me prepare you a small plate.
27:31Yeah, hi.
27:32Yeah, Phil's strong.
27:34Yeah, look, I'm going to have to be brief here.
27:35Um, remember that time that I asked for a detective and you didn't send me one?
27:41Hmm?
27:41Well, I'm going to call in that favour.
27:44I need some background.
27:51Yes, Tabitha and Joy knew each other.
27:53They were conspiring.
27:55Great.
27:56We still don't know how the killer did it.
27:59Or why Doris said your name.
28:00Yes, thank you.
28:01Look, I know it's awkward on Glenn's wedding day, but she said it.
28:06It's a clue.
28:07We can't ignore it.
28:09I'm not ignoring it.
28:10Believe me.
28:12It just doesn't help us figure out how the killer poisoned the one program that Doris took.
28:18Searched every corner of our back clinic.
28:20Found loads of drugs, but no pesticides or anything that could have killed Doris.
28:24Or anti-inflammatories.
28:26And I could do with some because my feet are still absolutely killing me.
28:30Maybe, uh, maybe we put a pin in it, regroup tomorrow.
28:35No.
28:36No, it's their wedding day.
28:39That's what I mean.
28:40We don't have to solve it today.
28:42We can get there.
28:45We will, we will, we will.
28:47We'll get there.
28:51Glenn?
28:51Mm-hmm.
29:00Hello?
29:08In here.
29:18That's, um, what can I smell?
29:19Vinegar.
29:20Yeah.
29:20It's, uh, very sick, so I'm using it as a stopper.
29:25I know there's not many guys that could just improvise a dark room at short notice.
29:29It's really not that complicated.
29:31Start with a developer, which is just a high pH solution with a reducing agent, uh, something
29:35that donates electrons.
29:36I'm using instant coffee for the catholic acid, so it's...
29:39Mm-hmm.
29:39Yeah, as thrilling as this lecture is, Glenn, maybe.
29:42Sorry.
29:43No, it's okay.
29:46It's actually really fun to remember what a massive nerd you are.
29:50Stuck in a dark room, stinking up chemicals.
29:54Don't have much luck on my wedding days.
29:56Mm.
29:57Not a dig at you.
30:00They're a bit of a dig at you.
30:03How's Daisy?
30:05She's okay.
30:05Why did she say your name?
30:11Doris, when she died.
30:14I don't know.
30:15It's weird, though, isn't it?
30:17Did she even know you?
30:19I don't think so.
30:20I will figure it out, though.
30:23And then you'll have your wedding day.
30:25Then you'll be off to Bali or wherever.
30:29Road trip up the coast, camping.
30:31Cool.
30:33We'll leave him first thing in the morning.
30:34The ute's already packed.
30:35Of course it is.
30:38Right.
30:39Well, I've developed all the photos,
30:41and I've put a few aside that have Doris in them.
30:43I think they might be helpful.
30:45Mm-hmm.
30:45Have a look at this.
30:46This way it gets a bit weird.
30:53That is weird.
30:54They're all of you, Reggie.
31:02Got a fan?
31:04Who took all of them?
31:05We don't know.
31:06You know, the cameras were all over the place.
31:09Could have been anyone.
31:10Someone's definitely got a crush on you.
31:12I don't know about that.
31:14If you want us to, we could do a DNA test on all the cameras,
31:19get a sample from each of the guests,
31:21put, like, a line-up for your perusal.
31:23That's inappropriate, Colin.
31:26Sorry?
31:27Could you?
31:28We could not.
31:29Oh.
31:30But in terms of police work,
31:33there are a few here that are useful with Doris in them.
31:37Doris arrives.
31:40Doris takes a drink.
31:41Doris sits down.
31:43They're all from before the ceremony.
31:44I know.
31:45Nothing here of Doris with a program,
31:47or anyone doing anything with a program.
31:51So it's a, uh, it's a dead end.
31:54Yeah.
31:56Unless...
31:57Hmm?
31:59You want us to frame one for you?
32:00That's also inappropriate, Mackenzie.
32:03Could you?
32:10Boss?
32:12Doris sending you to the country
32:23was the best thing for you, was it?
32:25Yeah, yeah, it was.
32:27I've still got friends in the city, Malcolm.
32:30I know that you reapplied for the Homicide Squad
32:33every single year.
32:35And I know who turned you down
32:37every single year,
32:39and that was Doris Carides.
32:40So I still wanted to be a detective.
32:43You know, kill me.
32:45Our force will never be strong
32:47while cows like Carides
32:51are still breathing.
32:53I stand ready to serve.
32:57That was you, wasn't it?
32:59I mean, it says Craig Forrester,
33:02but we know that's one of the nonderplumes
33:03you use on private police officer groups.
33:11Mmm.
33:14You know, I was a good detective.
33:17I made one mistake,
33:19and she blacklisted me.
33:22What was the mistake?
33:23You know, the foot I found on the beach?
33:32Me and a few of the boys,
33:34um,
33:35we took some stupid photos with it.
33:38No, we're just mucking about.
33:40But, um,
33:42Doris hit the roof.
33:44Unethical, inappropriate, fine.
33:46But the real issue is that it turned out
33:48that the foot belonged to Mark Jarvis.
33:51Mark Jarvis?
33:53The guy who went missing off the boat with his wife?
33:56Yeah, Chloe Jarvis.
33:57About 12 years ago.
33:59You see, Doris was obsessed with this case
34:02because she always thought that Chloe killed Mark,
34:06pocketed all their money,
34:07and got away with it.
34:08You know, that she changed her name
34:09and went off and made a new life for herself somewhere else,
34:12and that me mucking about with the foot tanked the case.
34:15But she didn't have a case
34:17because they drowned.
34:18You know, they drowned.
34:20End of story.
34:21Sharks got to the damn foot.
34:23But, oh, no, no, no, no.
34:24Those photos were enough for Doris Carides
34:26to ruin my career.
34:29You know, you do sound angry.
34:32Of course I'm angry!
34:34You know, I love being a detective.
34:36I loved it.
34:37And she took that away from me for one dumb mistake.
34:40So, yeah, I'm angry, and I'm not sorry.
34:42She's dead.
34:43But come on, guys.
34:44Use your brains.
34:45How could I have killed her?
34:47I didn't know she was going to be here.
34:53He's right.
34:55He didn't know Doris would be here.
34:57And it's not as though he's going to have poison on him
34:59on the off chance that they bump into each other.
35:02I mean, even if he did,
35:03we don't know how the killer guaranteed
35:07that Cullen would hand Doris that poison program.
35:12Oh, why she said your name?
35:15Yes, thank you, Cullen.
35:16Oh, why she said my name.
35:19Oh, dear.
35:19Excuse me, Matt.
35:21Sorry.
35:22Sorry.
35:22Sorry to interrupt.
35:23Um, I need to make an announcement.
35:25We're going to send everyone home and reschedule.
35:36It's not going to happen today, and that's fine.
35:39No.
35:39No.
35:41I said I would solve it, and so I will.
35:45I will solve it.
35:46So just, just, just leave me alone and let me think.
35:51But you haven't.
35:54You haven't solved it.
35:56You told us to wait.
35:58So we have put everything on hold all day,
36:01but you haven't got anywhere.
36:02You were never going to.
36:03Oh, but no one can argue with you
36:06when you set your mind on something.
36:08God, I have tried for months,
36:11every single day,
36:13to be smiling and happy and fair to you
36:16because you are important.
36:17You're important to Cullen,
36:19but I can't get away from you.
36:21I can't get away from you.
36:23I mean, someone collapses at my wedding
36:25and says your name as they die.
36:27So stuff it!
36:32I am not sending anyone home.
36:34I am going to marry the man I love today
36:36with my family and my friends
36:38and Mackenzie Clark.
36:39You are no longer welcome.
36:43No, that's a good speech.
36:52Christopher, let's do it.
36:54Glenn, let's get married.
36:57Oh, babe, that one's mine.
37:04Oh, yeah.
37:05All right.
37:08Thanks.
37:09Thanks.
37:10Thanks.
37:11Thanks.
37:11Thanks.
37:12Thanks.
37:13Thanks.
37:13Thanks.
37:14Thanks.
37:14Thanks.
37:15Thanks.
37:15Thanks.
37:16Thanks.
37:17Thanks.
37:18Thanks.
37:19Thanks.
37:19Thanks.
37:20Thanks.
37:21Thanks.
37:21Thanks.
37:22Thanks.
37:23Thanks.
37:24Thanks.
37:25Thanks.
37:26Thanks.
37:27Thanks.
37:28Thanks.
37:29Thanks.
37:30Thanks.
37:31Thanks.
37:32Thanks.
37:33Thanks.
37:34Thanks.
37:35Thanks.
37:36Thanks.
37:37Thanks.
37:38Thanks.
37:39I'm Mackenzie Clark.
38:09Uh, Dolphin Cove Police Station, I need you to send me something over, and quickly.
38:14Ladies and gentlemen.
38:17Well, here we are again.
38:20So far, not the day we would have expected.
38:24But Glenn and Daisy are not a conventional couple.
38:29This moment, these people here together, will never happen again.
38:35So let's take time to enjoy that, and...
38:39Christopher, let's move things along.
38:42Right?
38:43Yes!
38:45On we go then.
38:47And so now we come to the exchange of...
38:57The rings, please.
39:04Oh, right, that's me.
39:05Glenn, say after me.
39:14Daisy, with this ring, I thee wed.
39:18Daisy, with this ring...
39:22Stop!
39:24Stop the wedding!
39:26What?
39:27I know who the killer is.
39:34What was Doris Carides doing at Glenn and Daisy's wedding?
39:40That was the first question.
39:43She wasn't invited.
39:44Neither the bride nor the groom had any idea who she was.
39:47The only clue to her presence was a list in her pocket with three names on it.
39:56Malcolm Stringer, Tabitha Dewitt, and Joy Mina.
40:00What linked them?
40:02Other than being at this wedding.
40:08Doris was on to something.
40:11We didn't know what, but somebody did.
40:13That somebody didn't want Doris sniffing around,
40:17so they poisoned her with organophosphate, pesticide, a contact poison.
40:24But how?
40:25How did the killer manage to poison Doris with a program handed out at random by a police officer?
40:35Well, they didn't.
40:38No, the killer wanted us looking at the programs.
40:41They wanted us trying to unpick an impossible crime,
40:44because then, then we wouldn't be looking at what actually killed Doris.
40:49Her cocktail glass containing her drink.
40:54What a perfect murder weapon.
40:57Covered in a poison almost instantly lethal to the touch,
41:00and then thrown in the dishwasher with all the rest.
41:04Evidence destroyed.
41:06But there was pesticide on the inside of the program.
41:09I tested it.
41:09Yes.
41:11Yes.
41:13You are correct.
41:15The killer planted the poison program in the commotion following Doris' collapse.
41:20But still...
41:23Why?
41:24I knew that there had to be a link between the names on that list,
41:30but what we didn't realize is that we were actually investigating two murders.
41:37Doris' and the last perfect murder, the killer plan.
41:43Their own.
41:44The Chloe Jarvis case.
41:48Malcolm worked it with Doris all those years ago.
41:52Chloe and Mark Jarvis took a boat out to sea and were never seen again.
41:57Both drowned, is that right, Malcolm?
42:02That was the prevailing opinion, yes.
42:04What was Doris' theory?
42:06That Chloe killed Mark and got away with it.
42:08Uh-huh.
42:09Why did she think that?
42:10We found his foot washed up...
42:13Well, I found his foot washed up on the beach, but it was a mess.
42:18There was no way of telling what had happened to her.
42:21And Chloe, what?
42:22She was safe somewhere, living her best life, enjoying all that money?
42:26Well, that was Doris' theory.
42:29Well, it was more than just a theory.
42:33It became an obsession for Doris.
42:38The one that got away.
42:40That's why you were on the list, Malcolm.
42:43Doris Carides thought Chloe Jarvis was still alive
42:46and she wanted to talk to the detectives who worked the original case.
42:49Is she still alive?
42:53No, no.
42:54No, that is what Doris got wrong.
42:59Chloe Jarvis didn't murder her husband.
43:02Her husband murdered her.
43:06Isn't that right, Mark?
43:15I'm sorry, me?
43:17Is this some sort of a joke?
43:20Oh, I don't know, Mark.
43:22Jokes, they're not really my thing.
43:29Sit down, mate.
43:33Take a seat.
43:33Doris Carides, she was a true detective.
43:42You know, even in retirement, the Chloe Jarvis case, it haunted her.
43:47So she looked into those leads again and she made lists of people to talk to and where they were now.
43:53The South Coast, Malcolm Stringer.
43:55The detective who found Mark's foot.
43:56Tabitha Dewitt, a printer with a sideline in forgery who was questioned at the time under suspicion that she forged documents for Chloe Jarvis.
44:04And 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.
44:15Doris thought that these people, they might, they might just know something about what happened to Chloe Jarvis.
44:22She found Tabitha here, last night, when she was delivering the printing.
44:30The ever-innocent Tabitha knew nothing.
44:34Joy Mina.
44:35Doesn't ring a bell.
44:37Sorry.
44:37But she did make a call to an old friend.
44:46Tabitha's the one that forged the documents, turning you from Mark Jarvis, murderer, into Christopher Fletcher, wedding celebrant.
44:54Bearded now, different hair, a bit more weight on.
44:56And with a tell-tale imperfection on your license just there.
45:00From Tabitha's letterpress.
45:02Thanks to Tabitha, you suspected Doris would be at this wedding.
45:08I 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.
45:14But considering the stakes for you, it was a risk worth taking.
45:19So what?
45:23This is all just supposition.
45:25There is no glass.
45:27There is no evidence.
45:28You can't prove anything.
45:31Huh.
45:33I would have missed it.
45:36I would have missed it.
45:40But then I saw how easily Daisy picked up the wrong bouquet without noticing it and then things fell into place.
45:48These photos are taken from before the wedding.
45:50And then, just a moment later, there's more liquid in her glass than there was when she took it.
46:02And that was because of this.
46:04A hand swapping the drinks.
46:06Your distinctive ring giving you away.
46:08And 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.
46:27And her murderer.
46:30Uh, madam, wait.
46:32Uh, uh, oh, uh.
46:35She could only manage one word as she died.
46:38Not Mac, not Mac.
46:40But, Mark.
46:43Fuck.
46:49Doris Caridi solved her case.
46:52And she was identifying you, the man who cut off his own foot to get away with murdering his wife.
46:57Well, you know, you didn't do the actual amputation.
47:00Now, 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.
47:11Joy, Mina, the last name on that list.
47:17This is absolutely ridiculous.
47:22Colin?
47:25Felix?
47:27What's the left, wasn't it, Malcolm?
47:36I'll never forget it.
47:39Loaf is much appreciated.
47:45Excuse fingers.
47:57Now, that would be a hell of a coincidence, wouldn't it?
48:05Mark Jarvis, you are under arrest for the murder of Doris Carinius.
48:10And Chloe Jarvis.
48:13You can't escape your past, Mark.
48:15It might take years.
48:19You might move miles away, try and become a different person.
48:21But at some point, like it or not, you have to reckon with it.
48:28You don't have to say or do anything, but anything you do say or do may be used in evidence against.
48:33What a day.
48:48I've been to some weddings in my time, let me tell you.
48:50I found a bride, Cassandra Alexiu, hashing her bridesmaid in the vestry before the ceremony.
48:58That was a wild ride.
49:00But I've never had a murder.
49:01Still, we got him in the end.
49:03So that's another tick for the Rocco files.
49:07You done?
49:07All done.
49:08Good.
49:09Hey, Reggie.
49:10Mm-hmm?
49:10Oh, you forgot this?
49:12Not another one.
49:13I mean, honestly, what a weirdo.
49:15Taking all of these.
49:18Oh.
49:19Well, that one's actually quite lovely.
49:23You can always take a good photo of someone.
49:25You just have to get them when they're most themselves.
49:29Are you the weirdo?
49:31I thought you deserve the nice photo of yourself.
49:34And you took all of them?
49:35Pretty much.
49:38That's a really lovely thing to do, Felix.
49:42I might just crop out the murderer in the background, though, I think.
49:45Yeah, I was going to suggest that.
49:49Sook.
49:49Right.
49:56Wow.
50:12You know the worst thing?
50:18He wasn't even a real celebrant.
50:22So even if we got married, we wouldn't be married.
50:25I didn't know you felt like that.
50:33About Mark.
50:35Really?
50:40We can reschedule.
50:41It'll be okay.
50:43That's what I want.
50:45Chance to relive this day all over again.
50:47Someone was murdered.
50:52It's hard to plan for that.
50:53I don't know.
50:53It's not that.
50:55Of course, someone lost their life.
50:57Well, I get it.
50:58You know, she has to investigate it.
51:01What is it, then?
51:03It's the way you look at her when she does.
51:05I saw it once when you were solving something with her
51:12and I tried to ignore it and that was my mistake
51:16because then we end up here on our wedding day
51:20and you're more excited about her than getting married to me.
51:25That's not true.
51:26Isn't it?
51:26I'm sorry.
51:40I think I'm done.
51:42Fine.
51:43We don't need to be married.
51:44It's just a piece to paper.
51:46Not with the wedding, I think.
51:51I think I'm done with us.
51:52No, you see, it's just one paper.
51:55I'm sorry.
51:55We can do whatever you want, guys.
52:01Bye.
52:18And so Glenn and Daisy are more than a couple to me.
52:23They're the family that found me
52:24and made me feel at home.
52:26They're an example of what love should be.
52:29An easy bundle of kindness and warmth and humor.
52:33So to them,
52:34I wish every day of everything they bring to everyone else.
52:38Happiness, joy, and love.
52:42To Glenn and Daisy.
52:43To Glenn and Daisy.
52:45Applause, applause, applause, smiling through tears.
52:47What a triumph.
52:48Oh, is he still single?
52:49Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
52:57Go on, then.
52:59Say what you've got to say.
53:00God, we've been wanting to do that all day, haven't we?
53:11Let's go get a drink.
53:15Are you coming?
53:16Yeah.
53:17Did I ruin your wedding?
53:32What are you talking about?
53:33It's a fantastic day.
53:34It's better than I imagined.
53:35I won't come when you redo it.
53:40Well, we won't be redoing it.
53:46Oh.
53:46I know that I'm obsessive and that I, um, that I, I can't let anything go.
53:59Um, I do see that I could have dealt with today differently, but, um, I just thought if
54:10I could, um, if I could help you get your wedding day, then, um, I could do something that made
54:20you happy and, um, but then, um, my brain, it just got to, um, I'm so sorry.
54:37I don't know why I'm like this.
54:41I just, I don't know any other way to be.
54:50That'd be the easy thing to do, wouldn't it?
54:53Just blame you, Mac.
54:54This is all your fault.
54:56But it's not.
54:59It's not your fault for coming back to Dolphin Cove, for trying to catch a killer.
55:05You are who you are.
55:07I'm the reason everything falls apart.
55:12There's two weddings so far, and what do they have in common?
55:15Something is not right, and I'm not going to figure out what it is, living the same life
55:19in the same place.
55:25But you love it here.
55:27Yeah.
55:29Everyone says that.
55:30Um, how long are you going for?
55:38A while, Mackenzie.
55:40A long while.
55:41Here we go.
55:42So, what do you do?
55:51Wait.
55:51Yeah.
