Short filmTranscript
00:00Look up my young friend, I feel like I'm in yesterday, the dawn is on you, if you decide to go your way, I know you're younger, but I'm a two-year-old boy now, I hope you decide to stay.
00:30Sleep on something you can't talk about, sleep on something you might say, I know without you here by myself.
00:53Lovely day, Beret.
00:55Okay for it.
01:05You want to say that again, mate?
01:07Yeah, I was just saying that if my dog had a face like yours,
01:09I'd shave its ass and make it walk backwards.
01:11Oh, hello, Constable.
01:12Oh, really, dickhead. You called the cops, huh?
01:14Actually, this bogan has been threatening me.
01:15Bullshit!
01:16Oh, look at the tough guy with the uniform holding him back.
01:19What on earth is happening?
01:21Hi, I'm Teresa, the park manager.
01:23This asshole threatened to smack my kids.
01:25They're bloody terrified.
01:26Yeah, well, the little shits and their endless buzzing,
01:27they need a good smack.
01:28I'll smack you in a big head.
01:29Oh, yes, you hear that?
01:30That was a threat.
01:31Enough.
01:32I am so sorry, Mr. Cootin.
01:34I will sort all of this out, I promise.
01:36Yeah, you do that while I go and console my traumatised kids.
01:39Yeah, you got a lock on your 10-zipper, mate?
01:41Jean, you can't say things like that.
01:43Oh, God, Teresa, it was just a joke.
01:44There's no need to get hysterical.
01:46Okay, let's all agree this is a family holiday park.
01:48Look, I pay for my sight, okay?
01:50Just like the entitled assholes who swarm in here every Christmas.
01:53Can you at least tone down the swearing?
01:55She's right.
01:55That's not cool, mate.
01:56Not when there are kids around.
01:57Not when there are kids around.
01:58You know, I'm the one who called you, Constable.
02:00Yeah, I pay your wages.
02:02Swanting around on the taxpayer's coin.
02:07You okay, Teresa?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Might be better if his caravan rolled into the ocean and floated away.
02:13I didn't say that.
02:27What should we do this weekend?
02:31I'll probably just hang out with my husband because I don't know anyone else.
02:36When you know people.
02:37No, I mean, friends.
02:40Yeah, do you miss them?
02:43Cole, you are my favourite person.
02:46But sometimes I wish I had a girlfriend I could bitch about you with when you annoy me.
02:50When do I annoy you?
02:52Oh, boy.
02:53Hey, fish and chips.
02:55Hey, Jamie.
02:56Everything all right?
02:58Yeah.
02:58I've just been at the holiday park all afternoon.
03:00Oh, for fun or?
03:02Disagreement among some of the campers.
03:03This calamari is unbelievable.
03:07That's good.
03:08Hey.
03:09Anything serious at the holiday park?
03:11It's just this time of year.
03:12It can get a bit feral.
03:13But I sorted it.
03:13It's all good.
03:33It's all good.
03:53It's all good.
03:56This looks nice, don't you think?
04:07You hate camping.
04:09No, I don't.
04:10Vin, the one and only time you went camping.
04:12I'm telling you, that was a snake.
04:14It was a Baluta.
04:15I know what I saw.
04:20Does that look like a transfer vehicle?
04:22Jamie said it was a vehicle fire.
04:32Guessing someone was in there.
04:35Gene Pratt.
04:37He's 50 years old.
04:39He's been a guest in the same caravan every summer since he was a kid.
04:42Was this Gene guy involved in the Befo you attended yesterday?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah, he was.
04:48Bit of a coincidence?
04:49Coincidence?
04:50Yeah, sticking with our theory.
04:52Until you can find anything that suggests otherwise.
04:55Pretty much.
04:56I might.
04:59She does that.
05:03It doesn't look like an electrical fire.
05:06Other than the apprenticeship is a sparky.
05:08Didn't last long.
05:09Didn't love crawling around in attics.
05:13Yeah, this looks more like an explosion.
05:16Usually you'd set the explosive underneath.
05:18Maybe, uh, it was a remote trigger.
05:22But this looks like it began on the inside.
05:28Want to grab that?
05:29It looks like someone cut it.
05:40From the gas bottle box, do you reckon?
05:41I heard he was involved in an altercation yesterday?
05:46Yeah.
05:46Gene was always involved in an altercation.
05:49Ah, you knew him quite well then?
05:52His caravan was a permanent fixture.
05:55I mean, people aren't supposed to live here, but some of them, they just never leave.
06:00We've got one of those.
06:01Maxine.
06:03Your blue motel.
06:04Yeah.
06:04Is it true?
06:06You and your husband?
06:07Never worked in tourism.
06:09Ah.
06:10Guilty.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Well, I admire your bravery.
06:13It's a tough business.
06:14I mean, it's hard enough.
06:18If people find out that there's been a death, an exploding caravan...
06:23It's okay.
06:25Someone actually died at our motel too, so...
06:29Yeah, I know.
06:30That's why everyone in town calls you Blue Murder Motel.
06:33Ah, do they?
06:36I don't think it's, like, vindictive.
06:38It's just, like, a bit of a laugh.
06:41It's not really funny, though, is it?
06:43I mean, Shady Vista has been in my family since the 1940s.
06:47It's our legacy.
06:49Yeah.
06:50It is a beautiful spot.
06:51I can't imagine being anywhere else.
06:53You must feel like that about Blue Motel.
06:57Well, we thought it was going to be like being on holiday 24-7.
07:02So if you want your holiday interrupted by people complaining that the toilet's overflowing
07:07or that the tide's out.
07:10We had this idea of, um, holding rock and roll nights in our old conference room.
07:14With a band, or...?
07:15No, no, um, we...
07:17We bought a jukebox.
07:19That sounds fun.
07:20I'd come to that.
07:21I could tell my guests.
07:23I mean, a good party could be what people need right now.
07:26I think so.
07:28I would keep you posted.
07:29Great.
07:30Oh, um, you said Jean was always getting into scraps.
07:35That young dad yesterday was ready to kick the crap out of him.
07:39Constable Hyder would probably want a word with him.
07:42Definitely.
07:42He didn't even return the facility, Skitty.
07:47Well, you've got his contact details, obviously.
07:49Yeah, of course.
07:51I mean, why would he have taken off like that?
07:53Good question.
07:55He could be anywhere by now.
07:57Bounce!
07:58Bounce!
07:59Bounce!
07:59Bounce!
08:01Air Hunter, go work!
08:03Air work!
08:03Can't, can't...
08:04All right, come on, boys.
08:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
08:09I thought this was an adults-only motel.
08:13There's a swing seat and a trampoline.
08:15Oi, boy!
08:16Oi!
08:17There's a trampoline around the corner.
08:18Go bounce on that.
08:19Oh, yeah, let's go bounce over on that.
08:20All right, all right, all right.
08:22You and I, we're going to be friends.
08:25I admire your optimism.
08:28There she is.
08:30My glamorous wife.
08:34Anything?
08:35The guy who fought with Jean yesterday,
08:37he and his kids have taken off.
08:39It's interesting timing.
08:40Mm, Theresa reckons Jean the victim
08:42was always starting fights.
08:44Who's Theresa?
08:45The owner here.
08:46She seems really nice.
08:48She shed any light?
08:50She didn't notice anything unusual last night.
08:52She said she was about to go to bed when boom.
08:55I'll check in with her again later anyway.
08:58Maybe even get a drink.
09:00She made a friend?
09:01Theresa's an industry veteran.
09:04You'd learn a lot from her.
09:06What about you?
09:07Anything juicy?
09:07No.
09:09Someone broke in a Jean's gas storage locker.
09:12There was a broken padlock.
09:15On the grounds.
09:16Hey, look at that.
09:16They've got charcoal barbies as well as the gas ones.
09:19Uh-huh.
09:20We should get a charcoal barbie.
09:22Oh, honey, no-one's got time on holiday
09:23to faff about with charcoal.
09:25That's exactly when they've got...
09:27time.
09:30Huh.
09:31What is it?
09:31A bit of wax.
09:37Probably nothing.
09:38Well, maybe something.
09:42A letter?
09:44Document?
09:45There's usually only one reason people burn stuff like this.
09:49They want it to disappear.
09:50What happened?
10:03Is the skipper okay?
10:04Uh, not really, no.
10:08Oh, my God.
10:09Yeah, there was a gas explosion,
10:11and he was inside.
10:12I'm sorry.
10:14Oh.
10:16Oh, no, Jean.
10:20Oh, I'm his neighbour, Alison Northie.
10:23Oh, you guys were close.
10:24No, he was a prick.
10:27Sorry.
10:29I always speak with honesty.
10:31If I don't like you, you'll know.
10:34If I'm attracted to you, you'll know.
10:39Relax, Junior.
10:40I'm repelled by men in uniform.
10:42Uh, no worries.
10:45Hey, Alison, uh, could I just grab a few details?
10:47Of course.
10:48Let me dump my stuff.
10:49I'll be right back.
10:55Neighbours back.
10:56Ah, I'm going to grab a statement.
10:57Someone's at a bonfire in one of the barbecues.
11:00Some kind of, uh, letter.
11:02Someone's, uh, burnt something on the barbecue.
11:04Isn't that the point?
11:07Um, we've gathered it up,
11:08so you should probably take...
11:09Do you want to, um...
11:11There's heaps of rooms that need servicing.
11:23Yes, that's literally your job.
11:25The old owner's never had this many guests.
11:27Well, we like guests, Saffron.
11:28That's...
11:29Oh!
11:30I should be getting danger money.
11:31Okay?
11:32Loving life.
11:33Hey.
11:36Nice to be careful with that, okay?
11:38Okay.
11:40Everything all right there?
11:41Oh, I'm, uh, I'm the owner, Vinnie Coleman.
11:44Your boys just hit my husband in the head with a ball.
11:47Classic.
11:49Oh, oh, Sandy Coon.
11:51Oh, um, Teresa at the holiday park's looking for you.
11:55Said she needed to refund your bond or something.
11:57Yeah, I think she's got bigger issues.
11:59Hear about the guy that blew himself up?
12:01Calm is a pitiful thing.
12:04Wow.
12:05Well, he was a piece of shit.
12:06He was threatening my kids.
12:07And he's dead six hours later.
12:09So?
12:10So you bailed pretty fast?
12:12Well, yeah.
12:13I don't want my boys seeing anything.
12:14Give him nightmares.
12:16Fair enough, I would have thought.
12:17Oh, you've got to be careful by the pool, mate, okay?
12:28Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
12:30Make sure your dad's with you before you come back.
12:32Okay?
12:33Dad!
12:39Hey.
12:40Hey.
12:40So our new guy in Unit 4?
12:43The missing dad from the holiday park.
12:48So he took off, but not too far.
12:50Mm-hmm.
12:52You know what?
12:54Let's just leave this one to Jamie, eh?
12:56Well, it's funny you should say that.
13:00Thinks about time.
13:01Oh, this Saturday.
13:03Isn't that a bit...
13:05You know what?
13:06We can pull it together.
13:10Jeez, what did our doorbell do to whoever the hell that is?
13:13Hey, hey, hey, this is stuff, aren't we?
13:15Do you put hands on my son?
13:16Did you hit Hunter?
13:17Don't you ever...
13:18Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:21Honey, I thought we weren't allowed to do that again.
13:23Stop!
13:24Stop, stop, stop, please stop!
13:25You good?
13:25Yes!
13:26Yes!
13:26Stop!
13:27Ah!
13:27Ah!
13:28Ah!
13:28Ah!
13:29Ah!
13:31You could have broken my shoulder!
13:33One of your kids was about to run into the deep end of the pool.
13:36I stopped them.
13:38You're welcome.
13:39You know, if I wanted to, I would shut you down.
13:41Oh, click my fingers and shut this whole place down.
13:45You have no idea who you're messing with.
13:57I found him.
13:59This is who you're dealing with?
14:01Alexander Curtin, expert in real estate development, debt reduction and portfolio amelioration.
14:08In other words, property investor.
14:11So, of all places this rich guy could holiday, why stay at some holiday park?
14:15Yeah, or here.
14:19Oh, it ain't four seasons, Benny.
14:21It ain't even four stars.
14:22We should probably find out why Xander's in Moorway Bay.
14:28Yeah.
14:30Oh, hi.
14:31Welcome to Blue Motel.
14:35Oh, hi.
14:36Here we go.
14:37Can we be a second?
14:38Can you pass?
14:39Oh, wait.
14:40Will you do this one?
14:41Sorry, guys.
14:41It's just...
14:42Cheers.
14:46Big day.
14:47Mm-hmm.
14:50There's your friend.
14:50Oh, yeah.
14:53Did you say anything about a boyfriend?
14:56Nope.
14:57They're coming over.
14:59Hi, Teresa.
15:01You've been stealing all my guests.
15:03Oh.
15:04Sorry, I don't think we've met.
15:06I'm Colin.
15:07Well, for all I know, you two set that fire to sabotage my business.
15:11Um, hold on.
15:12No, we...
15:13Um...
15:17Sorry about that.
15:18Um, I'm Clint.
15:20I stay in one of T's caravans.
15:22A lot of people bailed from the park today, so it's been pretty rough on her.
15:31What are we supposed to do?
15:32Turn people away?
15:34I was going to invite her for a coffee sometime or a wine.
15:37You'll make friends.
15:40I promise.
15:42Men don't understand.
15:44You guys are like, oh, we played cricket when we were nine.
15:47Let's be best mates in life.
15:49Or, oh, you've got a blue car.
15:50I've got a blue car.
15:52Will you be best man at my wedding?
15:54Men don't understand.
15:56Well, obviously I'm not talking about you, Mr. No-Mates.
15:58Oh, I'm sorry.
16:01I'm sorry.
16:02It's fine.
16:03Anyway, I need more fish in the sea, right?
16:06Or in the deep fryer.
16:09Again, you have leftovers at home.
16:12Boring.
16:16Oh.
16:17Huh.
16:19Leftovers it is.
16:20I'm proud of you, love.
16:28Oh, thanks.
16:29Just trying to be the bigger person, you know?
16:31Locals should work together, not compete with the guests.
16:35Hello.
16:37I'm Alison.
16:39Uh, Pete Coleman, my wife, Vinnie.
16:41Well, I heard you two used to be private investigators.
16:45Or still are.
16:47Something like that.
16:48Well, I bet you think Captain Sook's death isn't on the level.
16:52Am I right?
16:53What, blue eyes?
16:55She is all yours, blue eyes.
17:17Hello?
17:18Some of you have some, yeah.
17:20Your mom and dad, uh, and...
17:23Right, right, right.
17:23And that's the top.
17:25That's the top.
17:28So, we need to be here.
17:29And speaking.
17:31I'm not sure you're a Christian.
17:33Just in the background.
17:35I don't know.
17:36I'm not sure you're a Christian.
17:38He's been a Christian.
17:38I'm not sure you're a Christian.
17:40No, I'm not sure.
17:42He's gone.
17:45He's gone.
17:46I'm not sure you're a Christian.
17:49Now, I know you may have heard stories about Jean and I, but at the end of the day, it was all pretty harmless.
18:00I mean, there was the possum incident, but no one was hurt.
18:06Well, not badly anyway.
18:09I mean, he deliberately sabotaged an entire batch of candles that I was making.
18:13But I forgave him. And yes, there was the dead fish in his air conditioner.
18:20But the old bugger had no sense of smell, so that was a waste of time.
18:24No sense of smell?
18:25Cancer in his 20s. Had his pituitary gland removed.
18:29I also stole the entire shipment of his book. He was going bonkers.
18:35This book?
18:36Self-published memoir.
18:40Could I, um...
18:41Could I get a couple of copies?
18:46How'd you go?
18:48She wasn't there. I left the flowers on the counter. What you got there?
18:51This is Jean's self-published memoir.
18:54Alison had a whole box of them.
18:56Apparently, their War of the Roses was escalating.
18:58Oh, plausible suspect, you think?
19:00Well...
19:01Can I help you?
19:03Oh, Theresa, hi. We're just, um, coming to extend the olive branch.
19:07You've got a pair of bolt cutters stashed under your desk?
19:09You've been snooping in my office.
19:11Jean's gas bottle container was broken into.
19:15Someone broke the lock with a pair of bolt cutters.
19:17I have all sorts of tools.
19:19There's a lot of maintenance on my line of work.
19:21And the Slim Jim, you have one of those in your office, too.
19:23They're used to break into cars or caravans.
19:26And people get locked out on a regular basis.
19:28Of course, they have a bloody Slim Jim.
19:30Hey, Clint, can you tell these people to leave?
19:32Oh, it's, um...
19:34It's fine. We're going.
19:36And I'd appreciate it if you don't come back.
19:41It's a funny way of extending the olive branch, love.
19:44You know I had to ask.
19:46You also know, don't you, that this wasn't...
19:48It probably wasn't an accidental death.
19:51Oh, come on!
19:53Emma just received a complaint from Teresa about you.
19:57Trespassing into her office.
19:58I was just dropping off a bunch of flowers.
20:01Initially.
20:02Is the fish and chip shop still out at Calamari?
20:09Well, look, if we keep digging without permission,
20:11we run the risk of making evidence inadmissible.
20:14So, we'll let you get on with it.
20:16Well, hold on.
20:19I might have found a workaround in the handbook.
20:22I can temporarily hire retired officers as consultants
20:25under, um, extenuating circumstances.
20:29Don't we need to have served in New Zealand?
20:32It's the same.
20:33Does it define extenuating circumstances?
20:37No.
20:39So, I will organise something official.
20:42A card?
20:43Lanyard smoothie.
20:44Oh, you do love a lanyard.
20:45Well, don't celebrate just yet.
20:48Your victim, Jean, he had no fixed address,
20:50no next of kin.
20:52The closest thing he had to family
20:53were the people at the holiday park,
20:55and they all hated him.
20:58Which is super depressing, the more I think about it.
21:01Jamie,
21:02we got you.
21:08Not like a wind, say?
21:12Yes.
21:15We got you.
21:18No.
21:19No, sorry.
21:20I didn't move to another country
21:21to report to a junior constable
21:23and get paid in viciousness.
21:24Honey, Jamie has been dumped here
21:26with no-one to show him the ropes
21:28when shit hits the fan.
21:29He needs help.
21:30And what, the motel's just going to run itself?
21:32I feel like we've got everything under control.
21:35That's Jean's book.
21:36Er, a sail of two cities,
21:39from Auckland to Acapulco.
21:42It's a real page-turner.
21:44Well, if we want to know who Jean was
21:46or who wanted to kill him...
21:47Well, it's funny you should say that.
21:48There's an entire chapter about an angry seagull.
21:50Ben, is this, um...
21:59Is this really what you want to do?
22:03Well, I know it's not exactly...
22:05It's not exactly where you saw yourself.
22:10I see myself
22:11wherever you are.
22:13Um...
22:16You know, I want to do this
22:18because if we can't help, we should.
22:22Right?
22:25Hey.
22:27Hey.
22:30We had a tough year last year,
22:33but that's done.
22:36We're still going strong.
22:38OK?
22:40OK.
22:43I still think I'm not enough notice.
23:05Well, I mentioned it to a bunch of the new guests
23:08from the holiday park.
23:09They are into it.
23:10Hmm.
23:11Nice spot, that shady vista.
23:12Almost bought it a couple of years back.
23:16Well, it came up for sale
23:17and I thought perfect spot
23:19for me to start a commune with all my friends.
23:22What?
23:23It was for sale?
23:24Yeah.
23:25But then I sobered up
23:26and I remembered that
23:27I don't have any friends.
23:28And no money.
23:30And she wanted, like, nine million for it.
23:33But Theresa said she'd never sell.
23:36Uh-huh.
23:37Uh, no, there is a listing here
23:39from 2022,
23:41Prime Beachfront Land.
23:44Oy.
23:45Terrible reviews.
23:48Uh, other guests,
23:49rude, threatening,
23:50will never come back.
23:51One star.
23:52Do not come here for a relaxing holiday.
23:54We were harassed by a man
23:55who accused us of talking too loudly.
23:58I'm guessing Gene.
23:59Hmm.
24:00But only one person is harmed by those reviews.
24:02Hmm.
24:03No wonder it's so tough for her.
24:04Why not just ask him to leave?
24:07Well, that's a question
24:08out of your ex-bestie can answer.
24:14Oh.
24:15Oh.
24:17Cheeky.
24:26Neutral territory.
24:28Since you don't want me trespassing.
24:30Which is fair.
24:30Oh.
24:34Okay.
24:38Just a couple of questions.
24:42You said you'd never sell the holiday park,
24:44but you listed it for sale
24:47just a few years ago.
24:51Wow.
24:52This feels like stalking.
24:55Is Blue Motel really that quiet?
24:56No, because you have all my guests.
24:58That I was just testing the market.
25:05So it wasn't because of Gene?
25:07We read the reviews.
25:08He was scaring paying customers away.
25:11You know, when I met you,
25:12I thought,
25:13finally,
25:14someone who gets it.
25:16I do.
25:17I do.
25:17I know how important home is.
25:20But if someone killed Gene,
25:21don't you want to know?
25:23Yes.
25:25Because I just can't...
25:26I can't believe that people might not feel safe
25:29at my camping ground.
25:31It breaks my heart, to be honest.
25:33Theresa, I want to help.
25:34Here, you're on the...
25:50Cheers.
25:57Cheers.
25:57How long have you been in property development, Alexander?
26:11Done your homework, eh?
26:13Trying to.
26:16So, um,
26:17a death at the holiday park,
26:18is that the sort of thing
26:19that reduces the value of the asset?
26:21Look, if you can't keep bringing that up again...
26:22I'm only asking because we just bought this motel
26:24a few months back
26:25and then, uh...
26:27there was an incident.
26:30Honestly?
26:32Won't help your resale value.
26:34Bugger.
26:36We sank a whole retirement into this place, you know?
26:39Yeah, property business.
26:40It's a...
26:41It's a dirty game, but...
26:43But murdering a man
26:44for a better deal?
26:46No, they'd take a monster.
26:49So you're not in town
26:50trying to buy a shady vista?
26:51Oh, no, it's not for sale, mate.
26:53No, I'm just trying to give the boys
26:54a good old-fashioned holiday
26:54that they'll always remember.
27:07Sorry about this.
27:08Christmas present, you know.
27:09Which one of you two did this?
27:11You want me to check the footage?
27:12See who's lying, huh?
27:14Hey, were they using the drone
27:15the night of the explosion?
27:17Well, I said them not to use it at night, so...
27:19And they do everything you say.
27:21Well, I haven't checked the footage, so...
27:27Quality's not great.
27:34Stop.
27:36There.
27:37Oh, shit.
27:38I can't make out whether it's a man or a woman.
27:40I guess I've got to compile a list of suspects.
27:45Might have already done that.
27:49Xander gave us the footage.
27:50My gut says no.
27:52Get a weird vibe from Clint.
27:54Teresa's made from the park.
27:55What?
27:56You mean Calamari, Clint?
27:58Well, he gets the...
27:59For the fish and chip shop.
28:01Well, we don't have to be him, then.
28:03What about, um...
28:05What about the neighbour, the candle lady?
28:09You know what?
28:10Jean's caravan would have stung from all that gas
28:12and she knew Jean had no sense of smell.
28:16That's the autopsy report.
28:18You tell me what jumps out.
28:20Sphere burns,
28:22traces of wax and...
28:24residue.
28:26Candle lady.
28:27Cole.
28:29You're going back in.
28:32Oh, don't breathalise me, officer.
28:42It's Clint, right?
28:43Yeah, that's the one.
28:45Rumour is, you and your wife are cops.
28:47In another life.
28:48Mm, good call.
28:50Not everyone thinks the sun rises and sets with the police.
28:54Hey, uh, you live at Shady Vista, right?
28:57I'm headed there now to see Alison Northy.
28:59Now, Jean, good luck with that.
29:01Were you there the night of the fire?
29:04I was out in the water, fishing.
29:07For squid.
29:08Right, mate.
29:10Big fan.
29:11Yeah, dawn and dusk are the best time for it.
29:13Right.
29:14No calamari yesterday, though.
29:16No.
29:17Bad night.
29:18Happens.
29:18So, uh, you said you were out of town, then I did the fire next door.
29:30Unplugged spirituality retreat.
29:32No devices allowed.
29:35Alison, Jean's autopsy showed he was covered in wax.
29:38Well, I did give him a candle recently.
29:40One from my intimate range.
29:42Would you like to see?
29:43Um, very nice.
29:52Jean thought so, too.
29:55Weren't you, uh, weren't you at each other's throats?
30:00Look, love and hate both come from the same chakra, you know?
30:07Ah.
30:09Oh.
30:11You two were...
30:12Yes, we were.
30:14Twice awake.
30:15You know, underneath all that bluster, Jean really was just a big, salty teddy bear.
30:24You don't believe me?
30:26No, I didn't say that.
30:28Stay there, handsome.
30:30Here you go.
30:35Peckin' and Jean's care of me.
30:39Uh.
30:41And she said she wanted you to keep this.
30:44You can see the, um, there's sailing stuff there in the background.
30:47The sailing stuff is what you're looking at, really?
30:50Yes, yes, darling.
30:51Okay, so, so she says, please, take this topless, uh, photograph, and you just...
30:58Are you trying saying no to that woman, Binnie?
31:00I wouldn't.
31:02Oh, uh, no, Saffron, can't look at that.
31:04You guys are.
31:05Well, she wanted us to.
31:07Anyway, what we're getting is that Alison and Jean were lovers, and she was away the night he died.
31:14Which she can't confirm, because she was at a device free retreat.
31:17She said that, and you believed her?
31:21The only reason people go on a device free retreat is so they can post about it.
31:24So you think you can confirm her alibi?
31:26Of course.
31:28I might need that for reference.
31:30No chance.
31:31You can't blame me for trying.
31:35I mean, where's the father, for goodness sake?
31:38I know!
31:39It's my turn.
31:40Oh.
31:43Oh.
31:45That's interesting.
31:47No, get a music.
31:48Do you better hold me?
31:51Vanessa, Maxine.
31:55Hey.
31:55Look, I'm just at the wine bar.
31:58It is so a wine bar, we do not call it a pub.
32:02Hey, look, honey.
32:04I think I may be witnessing a real estate deal.
32:07Well, gosh, no secrets in this town.
32:13So you are selling, then?
32:15Mr. Curtin made an offer.
32:17That's all.
32:19You know Xander will flatten the park, put townhouses on it.
32:23Well, let's face it, it's probably better use of the land.
32:25But, I mean, ordinary people who can't afford five star, the fact that they can come and
32:32stay here in prime position, it's...
32:34Yeah, I get it.
32:35I get it, Minnie.
32:36I've been living it for years.
32:37Working my ass off so strangers can stay by the seaside.
32:41Strangers are just guests who haven't checked in yet.
32:43I just made that up.
32:47Look at you.
32:48Still in the honeymoon phase.
32:50You and tourism.
32:52My heart hasn't been in it for ages.
32:55And with Jean finally gone, maybe it's time.
32:59My father wouldn't have wanted me to be unhappy.
33:02Or to turn down seven million dollars.
33:07Xander said he wasn't here to buy.
33:11Is that bullshit or did I put the idea in his head?
33:13And she said, oh, it would break my heart to leave my family's legacy.
33:18Whatever bullshit.
33:18But hold on, he didn't say he wasn't here to buy.
33:20He said Shady Vista wasn't for sale.
33:25So he's got Teresa at a vulnerable moment.
33:27Oh, hello, Coleman.
33:29Peter, this book is riveting.
33:31One Man, The Open Waters.
33:34Actually, very erotic.
33:36Is there anything in there about a nemesis or a mortal enemy?
33:41Only the sea, darling.
33:42Only the sea.
33:43You asked Maxine to read Jean's memoir.
33:48I delegated.
33:49No fixed address.
33:52Sorry?
33:53Jamie said Jean had no fixed address.
33:56Because the nine months of the year he wasn't in Moorway Bay, he was...
33:59Living on a boat.
34:00You sure about the name of Jean's boat?
34:03Positive.
34:04The malcontent.
34:06Wanker.
34:07Definitely not a fan then.
34:09Yeah.
34:10He's had a bit of a scrape.
34:16Who knows?
34:18No one's reported anything.
34:20Check with the harbour master in Maritime New Zealand.
34:22Well, find the red boat that left the scrape.
34:28Work backwards from there.
34:34So, Candle Lady might actually be the 1% that leaves their phone at home.
34:38Meaning she could have been anywhere the night Jean died.
34:41Yeah, I actually do a business Instra as well.
34:44Wick tees.
34:52Hello, Blue Motel?
34:55Uh-huh.
34:55Oh, your room wasn't serviced yesterday.
34:59I'm so sorry.
35:00I was busy.
35:02The rock and roll night, yes, that's tonight.
35:04Huh?
35:06Definitely.
35:07Yes, there will absolutely be drinks and nibbles.
35:10Huh.
35:11Yeah.
35:13I can't believe I didn't think of drinks and nibbles.
35:17But, honey...
35:20I've got a problem.
35:21Well, don't complain to me when you get indigestion halfway through the bunny hop.
35:32Doesn't taste right.
35:34Prison for you.
35:36Oh, finally.
35:37It's back.
35:44I know, right?
35:45It's frozen.
35:47So, who do you think might have had the boat crash with Jean?
35:51Oh, man.
35:55Kill or marry Clint.
36:02Hello?
36:07Clint!
36:07Clint!
36:07Clint!
36:21Anything?
36:34Yeah, I found Clint's boat.
36:35Is it red?
36:47It's blue now.
36:51Uh...
36:51Righto.
36:53Thanks, mate.
36:53So, do we really believe that Jean was killed over a minor boat prank?
36:59I just...
37:01Sorry, I thought there was a party gown on.
37:03She accepted my offer.
37:05Teresa, the holiday park.
37:07Yeah, I know she's had a few developer sniff around the ears, but, hey, right place, right time.
37:12Come on.
37:18Be right back.
37:21Great shirt.
37:21Ha!
37:22Right place, right time.
37:35So, what suddenly changed?
37:38Hmm.
37:40Honey, can you grab that photo for me?
37:42What photo?
37:42Boobtastic from Jean's caravan.
37:45Why?
37:45The sailing stuff behind on the pinboard?
37:52Hmm.
37:57Oh, yeah, there is something red there on the pinboard.
38:01Can't quite see what it says, though.
38:03Hmm.
38:04Hmm.
38:05Otherwise, you know what you have to do.
38:10Oof.
38:11You want a digital copy?
38:13Well, of course, blue-eyes.
38:17Oh.
38:19There it is.
38:28Gotcha.
38:32Hello, I'm just on my way to your party.
38:35Don't tell me you called it off.
38:37Oh, no, don't tell me that nobody came.
38:39No.
38:40People are coming.
38:40Um, well, we had to leave because we figured out what happened to Jean.
38:46G'day, Clint.
38:47Hey, yeah.
38:48What's going on?
38:49Well, apparently these two have some news about poor Jean.
38:52What were you saying, Vinnie?
38:54That it was about the boat, in the end.
38:57Your boat.
38:58That used to be red, but as of yesterday, is blue.
39:01So?
39:03What's this about?
39:03Well, why not just be honest about your boat being off the water,
39:06instead of trying to pass off frozen calamari as a catch?
39:09You couldn't get out on the sea, Clint, and you tried to lie about that.
39:13What's happening, Clint?
39:15Yeah.
39:16Okay.
39:17Yeah.
39:18Gave my girl a paint job.
39:19Because Jean, the old shithead, was suddenly dead.
39:22And I knew what people would think.
39:24You and your husband both need to piss off.
39:27Clint didn't do anything to Jean.
39:28We know that, Teresa.
39:30We know he didn't.
39:36Why are you looking at me like that?
39:38Because Clint's boat was the final straw for you.
39:41The way Jean treated your friend that day is what pushed you over the edge.
39:44The fighting was Xander.
39:47Threatening little kids.
39:48This arsehole threatened to smack my kids.
39:50Yeah, well, the little shits and their endless buzzing, they need a good smack.
39:52I'll smack you in a minute.
39:53Oh!
39:53You couldn't take any more, and fair enough.
39:56So when you went for a dream with Clint that night and heard about the boat crash?
39:59You think I blew up Jean because I was protecting Clint?
40:06And the rest.
40:07Jean had been making your life hell for years, and I couldn't understand why you hadn't just
40:12kicked the bastard out.
40:13Because I'm not tough like you, Vinny.
40:15I haven't been a police officer before.
40:17But you could have called one.
40:18Unless Jean was entitled, legally entitled to be on your property.
40:23And that's where the problem lies.
40:24Isn't that right, Teresa?
40:26Because Jean was legally entitled to be there.
40:29It was an old contract, but it was signed by your father and Jean's father.
40:35Jean was entitled to that prime camping site for the rest of his life.
40:38And if you tried to boot him, you would have had a legal battle on your hands, which you
40:41couldn't afford.
40:42Look, turn up, mate.
40:43I'm so sorry.
40:44Okay.
40:44Hey, thanks.
40:45No.
40:45So that night, when you were so angry after the way he treated Clint, you knew Jean was still
40:53at the pub.
40:59And then you orbit lit a fuse.
41:13He just loved making everyone miserable and flaunting that piece of paper in my face.
41:38My stupid father lost a bet, and I'm the one still paying it off.
41:43This has got to be bullshit.
41:44You could have subdivided or sold the land around him.
41:46No, nobody would want it.
41:47Who would want a prime piece of land with a shitty caravan smack in the middle?
41:51I just, I couldn't.
41:53You two just wait.
41:54You wait and see how hard it is.
41:57Bloody hell, Teresa, what were you thinking?
41:58I just, I don't know.
42:28Teresa, stop!
42:34I should have blown that bloody asshole up years ago before you got here to ruin everything.
42:40I didn't ruin it, you did.
42:42This would have made a friend.
42:44Oh, just...
42:45People actually came.
43:05Did they dance?
43:05Of course they did.
43:07To what songs?
43:08Oh, shit.
43:08Oh, shush.
43:09I started a conga line, like a...
43:11And it really went off, didn't it?
43:14Yeah, and I did some of my break dancing.
43:16I'm low-key obsessed with Rager.
43:18Oh, okay.
43:20Okay.
43:20Chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow.
43:22Sander.
43:23What are you going to do with the holiday park?
43:25Townhouses, high-rise apartments.
43:27Actually, nah.
43:28None of that.
43:29I want to give my boys the same kind of holiday I had growing up, you know?
43:32Swing ball, beach cricket, all that.
43:35Where are the boys now?
43:36Oh, they're in the unit playing Minecraft.
43:39Excuse me.
43:45We missed it.
43:46We missed it.
43:48You know what?
43:49We could try again next month.
43:51Yeah.
43:51And I'm sorry about your new bestie.
43:55Oh.
43:56I don't need a new bestie, Cole.
43:58Happy with the one I've got?
44:06Mm-hmm.
44:08You guys need to get out here now.
44:17Suicide pact.
44:19My instinct's telling me something's not right.
44:21I meant to be with my best friend, but she's dead.
44:25It's tale as old as time, really.
44:26Romeo and Juliet for the twilight set.
44:28A dying man, an old flame that still burns.
44:32But you're doing really well out of it, aren't you?
44:35I'll give it a minute or two, then see if I can get close.
44:38Get out of it!
44:40Get out of it!
44:41Get out of it!
44:42That was awesome.
