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