00:00Judy in the sky, well that's what you are, a lemonade pie, with a brand new car, cantaloupe eyes come
00:13true at the time, Judy in the sky, with lapses.
00:22Maud.
00:23Oh, hello Maxie.
00:24Hello. A few things for you here, love.
00:27Ooh. I'm just not feeling them anymore.
00:31Ooh, lovely.
00:32Mmm, Italian, so they should be priced accordingly, not just to sell.
00:36Selling things is how we raise money, Maxie.
00:39People always pay for good quality, darling.
00:42Possibly not here, love.
00:44Ciao.
00:49Hello again.
00:50Hello, love. Do you want me to pick up some of that jam Martin likes?
00:54Oh yes, please. We're almost out.
00:56Okay, will do.
00:57I'll see you tomorrow.
00:58I'm looking forward to it.
01:01Come on baby and give it so.
01:05Ain't no one gonna do.
01:08Don't make you cry.
01:10Love you.
01:12We just don't allow to.
01:15Get along, get along.
01:17I was late, baby so.
01:19Made your favourite.
01:20Oh, lovely.
01:31Bow.
01:32Bow, pow.
01:34Bow, Bow, bow.
01:36Bow, bow, bow.
02:01Hello?
02:04Any reason you failed to stop?
02:09Constable Haida, please.
02:13He's still alive.
02:16In have?
02:43Do you guys want to say something horrible?
02:48So lame, it puts you off ever wanting to stay here.
02:51Well, people don't go directly to a website to book, do they?
02:55If you search Blue Motel, the first thing that comes up is stories of a dead dude in a spa
02:59bath.
03:00That will pass.
03:01The internet is forever.
03:04I'll do it.
03:05Do what?
03:06Turn this crap website into a good one.
03:08Four reasons of self-interest and saving the job I need to keep.
03:13Sure, fine.
03:14Go for it.
03:16Just run your ideas past us first.
03:24Yeah, I was having breakfast when I saw this message. It was from Maud's phone.
03:31Hugh, we've decided we can't live with it. Please make sure everyone understands why we did what we've done.
03:38What's the it they can't go through with?
03:40Martin, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer not so long ago.
03:45He has a year at best to live.
03:48So I've been helping them organise their affairs.
03:50So you read the text this morning?
03:53I tried calling Maud, no answer. Martin, no answer. So I just jumped in my car.
04:05Hello?
04:06This is Constable Jamie Hyder.
04:08Pamela Owens, I'm looking for Maud.
04:11Why is the policeman answering her phone?
04:21Oh, hello.
04:23Ah, I have a reservation.
04:26Great. What name's it under?
04:29You okay?
04:30No. No, I'm not. I've just had some terrible news.
04:43What are you doing?
04:45There was a woman crying.
04:48What woman?
04:50She just showed up, bawling her eyes out in reception.
04:54And now she's checked into unit two.
04:56Well, why?
04:57Probably because it's the only room that's been serviced.
05:00Saffron, why was she crying?
05:01That is what I'm trying to find out.
05:03So if you just...
05:09Amateur.
05:10Watch and learn.
05:12This girl needs a prop.
05:13Wait.
05:16A prop?
05:17I should have thought of that.
05:23Oh, thank you for this.
05:25You're so welcome.
05:26Why would you like these?
05:27Just anywhere.
05:29Hey.
05:30Is, um...
05:31Everything okay?
05:32I, um, bought some lavender tea.
05:34The best thing when you're feeling a little bit out of sorts.
05:38I'm sorry.
05:39I'm sorry.
05:40No, I can go and get peppermint tea.
05:43No, it's just that my friend, Maud, she always swore by lavender tea.
05:48Yeah, she does.
05:50You know Maud?
05:51Look, I was just pulling in here when I was told that she...
05:56that she's died.
05:58Maud's dead?
05:59Well, I only spoke to her yesterday at the charity shop.
06:02Oh, that Maud.
06:04Oh.
06:04Um, the cops here.
06:07Suicide pact.
06:09Huh?
06:09Do you guys know Maud and Martin Bromley?
06:12Only her.
06:13Sorry, sorry.
06:15They're both dead.
06:16Maud definitely.
06:18Um, Martin didn't look too flash as he was taken away in the amber.
06:23Hey, do you remember what you said to me the first day we met?
06:25About the board shorts with the uniform?
06:29No.
06:31About instinct being number one.
06:34That sounds like something I would say.
06:36Yeah, well, my instinct's telling me something's not right.
06:39For what reason?
06:40Suicide packed my ass.
06:42That reason?
06:43There is no way that the lovely Maud would have killed herself, okay?
06:46Why?
06:47Well, the text said it was because Martin was nearly dead anyway.
06:51No, no, no, no, that doesn't make sense.
06:51Pam just told me that her and Maud had VIP passes to the garden show tomorrow.
06:56They'll be looking forward to it, they'll spend a fortune on it.
06:58Who kills themselves a day before the garden show?
07:02We're doing this, aren't we?
07:04My bag scene.
07:04I guess I'll take the victim then.
07:11I'll stay in the background.
07:13I'm cool with you being in the foreground.
07:20Mr. Bromley.
07:24Constable Jamie Hyder.
07:26Why am I here?
07:27You took poison, sir.
07:29I took?
07:31Poison.
07:34Where's Maud?
07:35I want to talk to her.
07:41Maud didn't make it.
07:43I'm sorry, but your wife is dead.
07:49You were both found on your bed, Mr. Bromley.
07:52Who was dead?
07:53From the poison.
07:54That you both took.
07:55Why do you think you say took?
07:57There was a message about you both wanting to end it all.
08:01End what?
08:02It.
08:03Living.
08:06Mr. Bromley.
08:08Mr. Bromley.
08:09Martin, are you saying that you and your wife didn't have a suicide pact?
08:12Tried in darkness.
08:19No, sir.
08:26Any bugs come by.
08:30Mr. Bromley has taken him down, they can ì–˜.
08:30It's a positive spell.
08:30Mr. Bromley was Lu.
08:31What do you think you'd have to do?
08:31Remember?
08:32Being hungry.
08:34Without your choice, sir.
08:34Co Silbo, it's taking a photo?
08:35No.
09:01What are you doing?
09:03Shoot.
09:05Hi.
09:07You're one of the new people at the motel.
09:09Helping the police with the investigation.
09:11I have a lanyard somewhere.
09:13Hugh Goodall, solicitor.
09:15Oh, Vinnie.
09:17I'm just grabbing some things to take to the hospital for Martin.
09:21If he makes it.
09:22Well, yeah, you've got to live and hope.
09:24Still, it's a bad business.
09:27I know. I found them.
09:30Do you see it coming?
09:32Not in the slightest.
09:34Nobody did.
09:39I remember Maude arriving home.
09:43It was her day at the charity shop and I'd made soup.
09:49She seemed distracted.
09:51Normally she'd be telling me all about her day.
09:54The people are coming out and stuff.
09:56Yesterday, nothing.
09:58I remember getting really tired.
10:02Like a wave breaking over me and I must have made it up to bed because you see this where
10:06you found me, but...
10:07Do you remember Maude coming to bed with you?
10:09Oh.
10:10I know this is not easy to hear, but, um...
10:15Had Maude ever talked about taking things into your own hands?
10:20Yeah.
10:21Yeah, we both had.
10:23Theoretically.
10:25When you're facing a death since, uh, not to have those conversations.
10:28Yeah.
10:29And where did Maude stand on that?
10:31Well, lately she'd...
10:32She started talking about how...
10:35How horrible it was gonna be for her, you know?
10:38Watching me die.
10:40Maybe in Maude's mind I was already dead.
10:53Oh, I love your work.
10:56Cheers.
11:00Apparently Maude was thinking about taking their own way out.
11:04Yeah, I found some stuff about that.
11:06So Martin survived, but he had no idea it was happening.
11:09Yeah.
11:10So, suicide pact out.
11:12Attempted murder-suicide in...
11:16Any news?
11:17Well, Martin's pulled through, which is good.
11:20What about Maude?
11:22Still dead, I'm afraid.
11:23I mean, what's happening?
11:25I mean, why?
11:26There's no way it was a suicide pact.
11:28Well, things have moved on from there.
11:30To where?
11:31Martin says he had no idea what was happening.
11:33So, Maude killed herself and then tried to take him along?
11:37Is that what's being said?
11:38Well, it's a theory.
11:40My friend was the gentlest, most loving person I know.
11:44No!
11:45Not possible.
11:48Calling Maude a murderer?
11:50Wow.
11:52Poor form, Coleman's.
11:56Yeah, I know.
12:08What would you do?
12:14I knew you were gonna ask this question.
12:19So, if I was dying...
12:21I certainly wouldn't kill myself.
12:24What, would you want to have a little think about your answer?
12:28Well, you know what they say about fishing the sea, right?
12:32That they're endangered because of overfishing?
12:39What if we were really old?
12:42Hmm.
12:44I'd still be desirable.
12:46Well, that is true.
12:49Go to sleep.
13:02Good morning, Pam.
13:04How are you feeling?
13:05I was thinking about going home, but I really want to stick around for Maude's funeral.
13:10Well, we're just heading up to the hospital to talk to Martin if you'd like to see him.
13:13Pass.
13:15Martin and I have never really seen eye to eye, and I don't think that recent events are gonna change
13:20that.
13:21Fair enough.
13:22Don't get me wrong, if he reaches out, I'll talk then.
13:28I'd say Maude.
13:30100%.
13:34They're letting you go.
13:35Oh, not willingly.
13:37But nowhere in hell am I hanging around here.
13:39Fair enough.
13:40This is my wife, Vinnie.
13:41She's also an ex-detective.
13:42Also helping the police.
13:44Mr Bromley.
13:45Martin.
13:46Ah.
13:46I already told your husband everything I remember.
13:48I'm sorry.
13:49So you, um, heading home?
13:51Yeah, that's very much the plan.
13:53Oh, you probably need a ride then, eh?
13:55Oh, much appreciated.
13:59So the, um, the wine didn't taste unusual?
14:04One of the things about cancer, the treatment doesn't do your taste buds any favours.
14:09Oh, after you.
14:10Oh.
14:11Cheers.
14:25Oh.
14:26Oh.
14:26What's all this?
14:28God, no.
14:29Oh, saffron.
14:30That's lovely.
14:32Funnily enough, that is my wine of choice.
14:35Yeah, I know.
14:36Got it from your fridge.
14:38Well, I need the photos to look nice for the website and you've got the fancy shit.
14:42Well, yeah, that's true, but still I wish you wouldn't just go into my room.
14:46How am I supposed to refresh your towels if I can't go into your room?
14:49Hey, you know what would be actually really cool?
14:53The towels were swans.
14:58Folded like swans on the beds.
15:02Why?
15:02Well, for the website.
15:04Well, for the website.
15:04When I was in Vegas, I went to this gorgeous hotel and they folded their towels into like
15:08swans and it was just very classy.
15:10I could probably manage a jellyfish.
15:14Nobody wants a jellyfish on the bed.
15:15That is exactly what I said to my ex when she tried to get revenge on me with a blue
15:20bottle
15:20she found on the beach.
15:22Well, okay.
15:23Do you want to grab a drink with me?
15:25I was going to meet up with Pam at the wine bar, but seeing as you've opened up a very
15:28expensive bottle of Chardonnay.
15:30I am on the clock.
15:31Come on.
15:34Come on.
15:35Okay.
15:44Thanks for your help, Maxine.
15:46Yeah.
15:53Thanks.
16:04Well, that's odd.
16:16Martin, you're out.
16:18I am.
16:19What are you doing?
16:20Uh, yeah.
16:21This needs some explaining.
16:23It's certainly not what it looks like.
16:25Well, it looks like you're stealing my vinyl, Hugh.
16:27Yeah.
16:28Less stealing your vinyl and more keeping your pride and joy out of harm's way.
16:33Okay.
16:33From what harm is this?
16:35Look, you're not going to like this, Martin.
16:37Not so long ago, Maud came to see me.
16:40About her will.
16:41Our will?
16:42Her part of your will together.
16:44She changed it.
16:46Changed it?
16:47How?
16:47Maud changed the beneficiary of her half of everything.
16:51To whom?
16:52Hmm.
16:53Strictly speaking, I should probably tell them first.
16:55Given the ongoing investigation...
16:57We can cut to the chase, Hugh.
17:01Pamela Owens.
17:03Pam, the gardening friend.
17:05Yeah.
17:05Very much a shared passion and...
17:08Well, I think the reason behind the change, you see...
17:12Maud felt that you would die before her.
17:15And she said that when she went, she wanted this house to go to someone that would look after the
17:19garden.
17:21You're telling me that half this house, my house, now belongs to Pam Owens?
17:28Exactly.
17:28I mean, when probate clears...
17:31Martin, we can contest it.
17:33It's just...
17:34It takes a really, really long time.
17:38So, what's with the records then?
17:40He and I...
17:41We're both collectors and, um...
17:44Look, I know what it means to him.
17:46So, you're removing them from a potentially ugly property split?
17:51Well, I was taking them off-site for storage until the air clears.
17:56Even though, technically, half of them belong to Pam.
17:58Well, legally, it's kind of an intriguing grey area.
18:01Oh, bloody shit!
18:03They're not going anywhere.
18:04You bring them back in here.
18:14Pam's always wanted this house.
18:17You know, she sat at that table and said as much on more than one occasion.
18:21I just thought she was joking.
18:23What if she's not joking?
18:24So, you think Pam might have poisoned you and your wife?
18:28I wasn't here all day.
18:30When I went into town to do some business, the house was empty.
18:33I decanted the wine in the morning.
18:36And the soup was sitting on the stoves.
18:38It's bloody possible.
18:39And if it wasn't her...
18:42Then who?
18:44Pam was on the road on the day of getting here.
18:46She said she phoned Maud on the way.
18:49She was parked around the corner, waiting for Martin to leave the house.
18:54Why would she stay at the motel and not here with her dear friend?
18:58Our awesome website.
19:01Well, she definitely doesn't like Martin.
19:12The website's coming together.
19:14Oh, good.
19:15From certain angles, this place looks almost exotic.
19:18I will have to take your word for that.
19:21Do you know of Pam's in her room?
19:23No, she's gone to the pub for lunch.
19:26Did Grace have something to do with this?
19:29With what and who's Grace?
19:30The Martin and Maud thing.
19:32And Grace works at the pharmacy.
19:34She's a total keyboard warrior when it comes to this kind of stuff.
19:36This kind of stuff being?
19:38Assisted dying.
19:39End of life choice.
19:40She's always posting these huge screens about it online.
19:44To be honest, I've never finished one because they're really intense.
19:48Hang on.
19:52I found this stuff at Maud and Martin's house.
19:55It will have come from Grace.
20:09G'day.
20:11Hey.
20:13I'm looking to rent a room for a few days.
20:14I'm not sure how many.
20:15Not a problem. Saffron here will take care of you.
20:17Welcome to Blue Motel.
20:19Love the leathers.
20:29Excuse me. Are you Grace?
20:31I am.
20:33And you're the woman who owns the motel.
20:35Vinnie Coleman.
20:36These have anything to do with you?
20:38I heard you used to be a cop.
20:41I did.
20:42That's about Maud and Martin?
20:45It is.
20:45So you're still a cop?
20:48My husband and I, we dabble.
20:51Did you give these to Maud?
20:52No.
20:53But I have posted this stuff online.
20:56Nothing wrong with that.
20:57Didn't say that there was.
20:59Did you talk to Maud or Martin about the right to die?
21:02When I heard about Martin?
21:04Yeah.
21:05They were happy to talk and I was happy to tell them their rights.
21:09Okay.
21:10If you don't mind me saying, you seem quite young to be concerned with thoughts of death.
21:15When you watch your grandfather waste away to nothing.
21:17Begging to end it all and being told he wasn't eligible to go peacefully.
21:23Excuse me.
21:33The phone records came through on the day Pam called Maud three times.
21:37But the last time was when I answered so it probably doesn't count.
21:41Any indication where the calls were coming from?
21:44Still waiting on the cell tower triangulation thingy.
21:49Hi Pam.
21:51Do you mind if we join you?
21:53Go ahead.
21:55What is this about?
21:57Have you spoken to Hugh yet?
21:59Who's Hugh?
22:00A lawyer in town.
22:02There was a message from a solicitor's office on my phone but I didn't get back to them.
22:08We should probably come back once you've spoken to Hugh.
22:11He's going to tell you that in her will Maud has left you her half of everything.
22:17Define everything?
22:18House, property, everything.
22:22Martin must be thrilled.
22:24He was still taking it on board.
22:26Oh my God.
22:27Does that mean that I'm a suspect in whatever this is?
22:31No one is accusing anyone of anything.
22:33Just yet.
22:34This is brilliant.
22:35This is just brilliant.
22:38I'll take care of this.
22:41I meant to be at a garden show today.
22:44With my best friend.
22:46But she's dead.
22:48Because allegedly she had this insane idea about killing herself and her husband.
22:54And now I'm implicated.
22:58Can you grasp why I might be starting to be a bit concerned?
23:02Phil.
23:03Oh God.
23:06Was it you who put her up to it?
23:07Was it?
23:08Okay, Martin, mate.
23:10Give it a rest.
23:11Martin, I get it.
23:12You almost died and Maud's gone.
23:14And now there's this nonsense with the house.
23:17Yeah, but you're doing really well out of it, aren't you?
23:19None of it had anything to do with me.
23:21Well, convince your mate here.
23:22Huh.
23:30You all good?
23:32With a cup of tea and a lie down?
23:34I will be.
23:48Hi.
23:50How did Pam take the news?
23:52Better than Martin.
23:54It was an incident on the way back.
23:57Safe to say there's no love lost between those two.
23:59Enough for her to want to kill him?
24:02Maybe.
24:02But not Maud.
24:03In fact, she seems far too nice to kill anyone.
24:07You guys need to get out here now.
24:09Now?
24:10Come on!
24:15Get up, please!
24:21Okay, okay.
24:23Oh, you just couldn't wait, could you?
24:26Yourself!
24:26It's in your head, you crazy bitch!
24:28You jump into your grave just as quick!
24:30Okay?
24:30Okay, come on.
24:35That was awesome.
24:40She has always hated me, that woman.
24:42I should have known she'd turn up.
24:44She poisoned Maud against me, I know that for a fact.
24:47She's gloating, I bet.
24:49Finally claiming her man.
24:52Maud and I are ancient history.
24:54Maud knew that they'd been talking, but Maud always denied it.
24:58He's a friend.
24:59I mean, what is wrong with being here to support a friend?
25:02I bet he called her the moment Maud died.
25:05She's always had this weird kind of hold over him.
25:08I'm only here because of what I read online.
25:11What online?
25:12That thing that young woman posted.
25:14The story of Martin and Maud.
25:18She makes them sound like Romeo and Juliet.
25:20I mean, ABC does look a bit Leonardo.
25:23It's not exactly helpful though.
25:25Or accurate.
25:26Grace doesn't care about accuracy.
25:28She's all about the romance, love and death.
25:31Plus it's the internet, so what does accuracy have to do with it?
25:39We've got a passionate young person.
25:41With access to drugs.
25:45Hey Grace.
25:46Your boss said we'd find you here.
25:48No such thing as a break.
25:51We read your little missive.
25:53The romantic life and death of Maud and Martin.
25:56I have the right to say what I think.
25:58But not the right to give them the drugs to go through with it.
26:02Is that what you think I did?
26:04You tell us.
26:06Neither Maud nor Martin ever approached me for help.
26:09But if they had, I would have.
26:13Any more questions?
26:15Because you've got all the answers.
26:20It's Jamie.
26:21Tox report came back.
26:23Who?
26:30I would have said that they overdosed on Martin's pain meds.
26:33But turns out what was in the wine was a cardiac glycoside.
26:37Uh, something called...
26:40Digoxin.
26:41Or Digitalis.
26:43Or other stuff.
26:44There's a whole list of heart meds that contain this stuff.
26:47And it was the wine, not the soup?
26:49Soup was soup.
26:50The wine was lethal.
26:52The fact that Martin only drank half a glass saved him.
26:54Were Maud or Martin on heart meds?
26:56No idea.
26:57It's probably worth finding out.
26:59Digitalis occurs naturally in plants like foxglove.
27:02If you're of the gardening persuasion.
27:06So, what questions have you got for me today?
27:09We just wanted to check in after, you know, earlier.
27:13Yeah, it wasn't my finest hour, but I'm sure you can understand why.
27:17Maud's will was a surprise.
27:19Utterly.
27:20And yet, given Pam not, you know.
27:22How so?
27:23Well, Pam can be really persuasive.
27:27Maud and Pam shared a love of gardening, yeah?
27:30Yeah.
27:31I'd love to see this garden.
27:33Pardon me.
27:35Actually, you mind if I, um, use the bathroom?
27:37I'll catch up.
27:38Yeah, be my guest.
27:40Well, I'll have to see too soon, forward.
27:55Thank you so much, everyone.
27:56I'm doing it just a little bit.
27:56I'll see you now .
27:56This is good.
27:56It's good.
27:58Bye.
27:58Bye.
28:02Bye, bye.
28:11Do you mind if I'd take some pics?
28:13Maud would like another more.
28:16Inspiration.
28:19You, um, spoken to Estelle?
28:23Just arrived.
28:24Old friend of yours, I believe.
28:25Oh, yeah, a long time ago.
28:29Yeah, she would have heard about Maud.
28:30I guess she'll be in touch.
28:32Any foxglove in this garden?
28:34Oh, I wouldn't know.
28:36Do you know what digitalis is?
28:39Oh, I see where you're going with this.
28:41But the hospital was kind enough to call me
28:44and tell me what it was that almost killed me.
28:47And just so you know, I'm not on any heart medication.
28:50And you have no idea how it ended up in your wine?
28:53None at all.
28:54So you know anyone on heart meds?
28:56Hugh?
28:58Although he'd only want to kill me for my record collection.
29:07Speak of the devil.
29:14Pam?
29:16Little business?
29:17In a roundabout way, you just made me an offer for my half of the house.
29:22Oh, jeez.
29:23That was quick.
29:24Tempted?
29:25What he's offering?
29:27Not even close.
29:28Hey, Pam, as a gardener, you know anything about foxglove?
29:33Not a thing.
29:34Why?
29:35That's just something that came up.
29:37Sorry, I can't help you.
29:39I'm all about the roses.
29:52Motive means an opportunity.
29:56Maud, all three.
29:58Pam, all three?
30:00Mm-hmm.
30:01Unless the phone records put her elsewhere.
30:04Hugh, probably all three if he's desperate for the real estate.
30:08Grace?
30:09Mm.
30:10Means, yes.
30:12Motive, yes.
30:13But nothing personal.
30:15Probably opportunity.
30:18What about our new guest?
30:21Estelle?
30:23Uncertain as yet.
30:27Martin.
30:30It was actually a failed suicide pact, so why lie about it?
30:34To make it look like one.
30:37Dying man kills wife.
30:40What's the point of that?
30:41Hmm.
30:42You're a dying man.
30:43Why the hell not?
30:44Hmm.
30:45You have a dark side.
30:47Just one of the many, many things you love about me.
30:51Time to stir things up.
30:56Yeah, well, I've offered to buy Pam out.
30:59Just hoping it might help Martin, not having to deal with her.
31:03Poor guy, he's just got so much on his plate.
31:06I mean, he's dealing with his cancer and now this.
31:08Not to mention his wife lying on the bed beside him dead.
31:14I remember.
31:15I did find them.
31:16You did?
31:18Why did Maud text you?
31:20I'm their lawyer.
31:21I sort stuff out.
31:22But you're Martin's friend.
31:24So why do you think he just threw you under the bus?
31:28When he heard it was heart medication that killed Maud,
31:30almost guilty of him, the first thing he said was,
31:33Q has heart meds.
31:34You do take heart pills?
31:36Yeah.
31:39Why did Martin feel the need to tell us that?
31:44Look, the way things sit at the moment,
31:46it looks like Maud and Martin had this pact to die together.
31:49Martin failed at his end of things.
31:51Now he's looking at a murder trial.
31:52Sure, it'll probably be downgraded and he'll walk away.
31:55But is that how he wants to spend the last year of his life?
31:57In a courtroom?
31:59Can you understand, Hugh,
32:01why Martin might want to shine a little light someplace else?
32:09Have you asked him about the 50k you took out of the savings account as soon as he left the
32:14hospital?
32:14And while you're at it, you might want to ask him why he suddenly needs a storage unit.
32:22OK, how about a pinball machine?
32:26In reception?
32:27Hard no, babe.
32:31How about a pinball machine?
32:32Saffron's car smells funny.
32:33Oof.
32:35I do know what to investigate, source.
32:39Hang on, we have movement.
32:44Rawling, heading your way I reckon?
32:46Copy that.
32:55Okay, he's arrived.
33:05Okay, he's gone into the unit.
33:06I'll give it a minute or two, then see if I can get close.
33:20Scratch that.
33:28Is that what the 50 grand was for?
33:30Maybe that's why he was hiding it.
33:33Not his first time on a bike, I'd say.
33:35He's gone about an hour, back into his civvies, locked up his toy, then off to the real world.
33:41Hmm, dead man riding.
33:44So Martin is a biker.
33:46Just like Estelle in Unit 4.
33:50Well, to what do I owe the pleasure?
33:52Just a few more questions.
33:55Nice bike, by the way.
33:59I don't even care how you know.
34:02Yes, I bought a bike.
34:03I used to ride, I miss riding, so why the hell not take one last lap around the motu?
34:09And will Estelle Perry be joining you on this lap?
34:13Really, none of your business.
34:14But she's in the picture.
34:16She's an old friend.
34:17Dutifully waiting at the motel until it's safe for the two of you to ride off into the sunset.
34:23How I choose to spend my last days is nobody's business but my own.
34:28Please leave and don't return.
34:30You're not even a real cop anymore.
34:33But I do know a real criminal when I see one.
34:49Afternoon.
35:00Travelling.
35:07I'm here for you.
35:08You're not.
35:09You're not.
35:13I'm here for you.
35:21...
35:37Good catch-up with Martin, was it?
35:39What?
35:40Just, um, just a few quick questions.
35:43Starting with, are you an accessory to murder?
35:47Did you provide Martin Bromley with the pills he used to kill his wife?
35:51I have nothing to say.
35:53Tale as old as time, really.
35:55It's Romeo and Juliet for the Twilight set.
35:58A dying man, an old flame that still burns, off the wife, hit the road.
36:02And down the track he changes his will to leave you everything.
36:05Except Maud blew a big hole in that by leaving her half of everything to Pam.
36:11So, what's the plan now, Estelle, now that you and Martin have had a chance to catch up?
36:15You're so wrong.
36:16Oh, hey, listen.
36:17Always willing to be proven wrong.
36:20I love Martin.
36:21My mom got him first.
36:23Being a dude, it took him a while to figure out she was a passive-aggressive cow.
36:26All the time, everybody was thinking she was so lovely.
36:29They were perfect together.
36:30It was the opposite.
36:33You'd be surprised if she gave him the damn cancer.
36:37So, when did you decide to kill her?
36:39I never decided anything.
36:41When did Martin decide to kill her?
36:44I'm not saying anything else.
36:45I owe him that much.
36:46Estelle, your pills were used to poison Maud Bromley, whether you provided them or not.
36:53Just tell us, Estelle.
36:59Every now and then, me and Martin would sneak a weekend together when Maud was at one of her garden
37:04shows.
37:05It was after one of those weekends at my place that I discovered my six-month prescription of Herzogen was
37:12gone along with Martin.
37:15Okay.
37:16So, did you ask him about it?
37:18I'm not the boss of Martin.
37:20No, I didn't ask him.
37:22I thought it was for when the cancer got too much, not for when his wife got too much.
37:26So, that's your story and you're sticking to it?
37:29Yeah.
37:30Would you mind repeating it as a statement of fact for this officer right here?
37:34Huh.
37:43Why is Jamie here?
37:45Oh, let's just say there's been a development in the case of Maud and Martin.
37:49Well, is it important then that Pam is just left to go and see Martin?
37:54Apparently he called her.
37:55Wants to make things right.
37:57Right.
38:08Pam, thank you for coming.
38:11Always willing to talk, Martin.
38:36Do not drink that wine, Pam, Pam.
38:39No, I wasn't planning to.
38:41I don't drink alcohol.
38:42Of course you don't.
38:44Which you would know if you'd ever paid any attention when I was visiting Maud.
38:48Why'd you take the glass then?
38:50Because I'm polite.
38:51I was just going to stand here and hold it.
38:54Just as well, it seems.
38:56Martin, we've spoken to Estelle.
38:59She's not happy you dragged her into all of this.
39:02I know.
39:03She's ended up with me.
39:06We were going to spend the rest of my life together.
39:10Now I could leave her all this.
39:13To say thank you for being my one true love.
39:18Stupid me.
39:20Living in the past.
39:21Why didn't you just leave Maud?
39:24Why did you have to kill her?
39:27The rest of the world loved Maud.
39:30Well, I fell out of love with her many years ago.
39:33The only time I was ever happy was when I was able to spend time with Estelle.
39:38But when you realise you have nothing,
39:41it's only a short step to nothing left to lose.
39:44The research was easy.
39:46Estelle's meds seemed like the most peaceful way to make it happen.
39:49You monster.
39:51Monster is right.
39:53Sitting there, watching your wife, enjoying the dinner her loving husband had prepared for her.
40:00And waiting for the poisoned wine to do its thing.
40:06When Maud started to feel unwell and took herself upstairs to lie down,
40:10that's when you knew.
40:12Your plan was working.
40:18And there was no going back.
40:20Right, Martin?
40:22All that was left to do was plant the end-of-life literature you printed out.
40:27Oh, and drink your glass of Azoghan and Merlot, of course.
40:34Bit of a risk, taking the poison yourself.
40:37But you'd done the research.
40:39Half a glass, no more, no less.
40:42So then you find Maud's phone, send the text to Hugh.
40:45And then you lie down next to your wife, who was probably already dead.
40:48The whole idea was to make this look like Maud's doing.
40:51That was his mistake.
40:53Idiot.
40:54The idea that Maud couldn't live a day without you.
40:58She was counting the days.
41:00No.
41:01Oh, yes.
41:02Why didn't she just leave me there?
41:03Because you were dying.
41:04And she's a decent person.
41:07We were going to go to Japan.
41:09Watch the cherry blossoms.
41:12Murder's never the answer, mate.
41:16Ha!
41:19Well, enjoy the house and the bloody garden.
41:25This is Martin over and out.
41:28Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
41:46Well, it was a lovely ceremony.
41:48I'm just sorry Martin couldn't be there to hear how loved Maud was.
41:53Yeah.
41:54And for a dying man, he has the constitution of an ox.
42:20The great work is complete.
42:27Wow, this is great.
42:30Saffron, you have a gift.
42:32I'm wasted in motel cleaning.
42:34Your talents do lie elsewhere.
42:37Oh, wait, go back.
42:39Aw, lose this page.
42:42Wow, you both look great.
42:43No, delete, Saffron.
42:44Come on, you two are very photogenic.
42:46No, we just prefer to not be.
42:48Okay, well, the website's already live.
42:50No, no, take that one down.
42:51Where's that page?
42:52And then you can put it back up.
42:53Oops.
42:54You guys on the run or something?
42:56Something dodgy.
42:58But, sure, done.
42:59Weirdos.
43:00Not weird, thank you.
43:02Just shy.
43:07Half a day.
43:08Shouldn't be a problem.
43:09Yeah.
43:10I think it'd be bad luck.
43:13Nah.
43:15We'll be fine.
43:19We'll be fine.
43:23I do not love running.
43:25Well, it could be worse.
43:26You could be one of the party animals from Unit 2 last night.
43:29There you go.
43:33Oh.
43:35Oh, no, ow.
43:38Sheesh, who died?
43:39The woman in Unit 11, actually.
43:41I'm sure I missed it on my job description.
43:43I'm so here for it.
43:44No!
43:45No, no, no, no, no, no!
43:46Tell me the truth.
43:47Are you guys in witness protection?
43:49Apparently, you're failed cops.
43:51Retired?
43:51Yeah, retired.
