00:01Welcome to the final episode of Small Town Scandal. I'm Toby Buchanan.
00:07I'm back at Dorleo Police Station following a fresh lead.
00:11As of last episode I discovered that the automated lawnmowers buzzing around Uncle Mitch's death scene have cameras.
00:17Which means they may have filmed the killer.
00:20Right now all we've got is the McKeith brothers swearing
00:23It was a demon.
00:24Which is not ideal.
00:25My dad is still suspect number one and facing a life sentence.
00:29And my old school buddy, local cop Matt McKenzie's ego is out of control after capturing serial killer Mrs Mott.
00:36And now he's gunning for a new trophy, my dad.
00:39Also the town's annual Philly Festival in Frocks in the Field is about to kick off.
00:43Which means chaos and mum stressed.
00:46So there's murder, lawnmowers, small town egos and a potentially award winning podcast all on the line.
00:52Actually scratch that.
00:53Note to self, don't put that part in.
01:03I had a plan which required me getting into the bowels of the Tohoiho Police Station.
01:14Unfortunately the place was crawling with cops.
01:17But fortunately I've discovered that this place isn't overly security conscious.
01:22And I have a naturally gymnastic ability which will help me sneak past the blue uniform brigade and infiltrate the
01:29heart of the beast.
01:39Okay, so it turns out that automated mowers have an inbuilt camera in them.
01:42I just need to find one.
01:48I can't do that.
01:53I can't do that.
02:07I can't do that.
02:29Oh, shit.
02:37So, I don't even know how to get to the camera,
02:39let alone see what's on it.
02:41So, I'm going to...
02:53Oh, hello.
02:54Hey, I'm actually really glad to bump into you.
02:57Oh, no, something happened to Dad.
02:58Oh, I don't know.
02:59No, no, no, no.
03:00I just need your opinion on something to do with the trial.
03:03These ones?
03:04Or these ones?
03:06Um, I don't know.
03:07Oh, which one of these is?
03:08Oh, I'm innocent more.
03:09These?
03:11Or these ones?
03:13Um, I guess the rainbow leaf.
03:15Oh, really?
03:16Yeah.
03:16I really thought you would have gone for the purple fern.
03:18I'm not sure it matters too much, Misty.
03:21I beg your pardon?
03:22Well, whatever earrings you wear, it won't make a difference.
03:24We all know where this case is headed.
03:26Mind your business, Matt McKenzie.
03:28Anyway, I'll see you guys.
03:29Sorry, scusey.
03:30Hey, uh, what's up at your top there, Tubbs?
03:33Ah, nothing.
03:34See ya.
03:34Bye, Tubbs!
03:35Tubbs!
03:36Tubbs!
03:38Tubbs!
03:40What are you going for?
03:41Ah!
03:42Police!
03:44All units!
03:45I'm in proceed!
03:47Tubbs!
03:48Ah!
03:53Tubbs!
03:53Tubbs!
04:17What are you doing?
04:18Bruce, you have to help me.
04:19The footage on this, we need to see it immediately.
04:21With this?
04:22Yes!
04:23Why didn't you tell me there are in-built cameras in there?
04:26I thought that was obvious.
04:27The footage on that one is the last piece in this crazy puzzle.
04:30There is no point.
04:32Camera, send the footage to Black Box.
04:35Black Box?
04:36It's the whole computer.
04:37It's not in there.
04:38Oh, my God.
04:42Okay, I'm back at the Hyper Maga store, and I'm following another crazy twist, where it
04:47turns out that in order to see the footage on the mowers, I need to go to Uncle Winch's
04:51mansion and look on the home computer.
04:54Wait.
04:55What?
04:57Got you, Tubbs.
04:58Yeah.
04:59You're under arrest for stealing police evidence.
05:01Okay, let me explain.
05:02No, no, no.
05:03Tubbs!
05:03Give up, mate.
05:04It's already over.
05:08Oh, shit!
05:10No, no, no!
05:14Oh, you have the right to remain silent.
05:16Okay, just give me...
05:16Shush it, Tubbs.
05:18Do not ruin this for me.
05:19Okay, sorry.
05:20Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
05:26Get on, mate.
05:27Yeah.
05:37Once a criminal, always a criminal, eh, Toby?
05:41What are you on about?
05:42I bought this big jar of lollipops with my own money as rewards for my class, and young
05:49Toby here decided to have them all for himself.
05:51I was in your class 25 years ago.
05:54Can we let it go, please?
05:55I'm just pointing out, once a criminal, always a criminal.
05:58I'm a petty criminal at best, and you're the one that killed 39 people.
06:02Oh.
06:03Oh.
06:04Fair call.
06:09It's been good to see you, Toby.
06:12Would have been better under better circumstances.
06:15Yeah.
06:17Yeah, it's been nice seeing you, Dad.
06:19I just wanted to apologise for getting off to a bad start.
06:27What do you mean?
06:29Well, it can't help that I was such a crappy parent.
06:32I'm sorry, son.
06:34Really, I am.
06:39It's okay, Dad.
06:40I know you tried.
06:42I was at the pub most of the time.
06:45You'd defend for yourself.
06:47But you're a fighter.
06:49You hang in there.
06:50Not me.
06:51I just give up when the going gets rough.
06:55You're a scrapper.
06:58As if.
07:01I am, son.
07:03You're a real scrapper.
07:05Thanks.
07:06And there's something else I've got to tell you.
07:09What?
07:13What the hell, son?
07:15Oh, you took your bloody time.
07:28What are you doing?
07:30You're going to be in so much trouble.
07:39Good luck, you pricks.
07:56No, no, fuckers!
08:09What the hell are they all doing here?
08:11It's the Philly Festival, Dad.
08:12Oi!
08:13You get back here!
08:15Oh, shoot.
08:16I'm afraid you got...
08:17How the way you got them?
08:18I got you.
08:19Oh, jeez.
08:22I got you, Philly!
08:26Get out of it, you perch.
08:30Get out of it, you perch.
08:31Oh, jeez.
08:40Shit!
08:41Sorry.
08:45Shit.
08:47Shit.
09:04Cheers, Toad. We could have been killed out there.
09:06Okay, we just need to get to Uncle Mitch's.
09:08If we can get a car, hopefully we can sneak out of town.
09:11No way. I'm totally outnumbered.
09:15Are these your mum's frocks?
09:18Yes, for frocks in the field. She's doing a fashion show.
09:21She hasn't lost a touch, has she? Oh, what a talent.
09:25Look at all this.
09:29She's an extraordinary woman.
09:31We don't have time for this, Dad. We've got to get you out of here.
09:34It's no use, son. We're as good as dog tagging.
09:37Could you be positive for one second, Dad? Could you try that, please?
09:42I'm trying to save you from a life sentence.
09:45Sorry.
09:48I know my edit. Shut up.
09:51Fair enough.
09:52No, I mean shut up. I've got an idea.
09:59Don't follow me.
10:03Can I ride the horse?
10:04Piss off. Please!
10:05I said piss off, kids.
10:08This way, Dad.
10:10This way, Dad.
10:11This way, Dad.
10:12This way, Dad.
10:12And three.
10:13And, yes.
10:14No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:15This is the Phillies. The stallions are over there, please.
10:18Over there.
10:18Over there.
10:20Katie, it's me!
10:23Toby?
10:24What are you doing here?
10:25The police are looking for you everywhere.
10:26You're in so much trouble.
10:28Can I borrow your car, please?
10:30What? No, why?
10:31Just give us your keys, Katie. We need the keys!
10:34If you don't give us your keys, I'm going to tell Matt that you touched my leg in the car
10:38the other day.
10:40Good.
10:40And a yes.
10:41And a go.
10:42And a dance.
10:43And a dance.
10:43And he would never believe you anyway, so you shouldn't.
10:46Do you want to try me?
10:52Good. Good.
10:53Smiling.
10:53Always smiling.
10:54Always going.
10:55And a going.
10:56Okay?
10:58Liz, that's got a bit of a sticky ignition, okay?
11:00So when you turn it.
11:01On.
11:01Forward.
11:02Right.
11:02Just before you feel kind of hits the...
11:05You have to hold it.
11:06Just...
11:06I'll take it.
11:07I'll take you.
11:08Okay?
11:08I'll drive you to where you need to go.
11:11My car's over there.
11:12Alright?
11:12Alright?
11:13Good.
11:13Keep going.
11:14Keep going.
11:14Can you drill them?
11:16Smile.
11:17Smile.
11:18Jesus.
11:19Bloody hot ping a horse's ass.
11:21Don't give it down.
11:22They'll see you.
11:30McKenzie!
11:31Run!
11:32Run!
11:34Run!
11:34Oh!
11:35I've got you now!
11:36Get on!
11:37Run!
11:38Oh, jeez.
11:43God!
11:44I don't want to go to prison!
11:45Oh, my God!
11:47You're not going to go to prison.
11:48We could always tell them we kidnapped you by force.
11:51Oh, yes, Bruce.
11:52That's a really good idea.
11:53Thank you so much.
11:54You'll be great.
11:55This thing can go any faster, Katie.
11:57Uh, actually, hold on.
11:59I think there is a button.
12:01I have always wanted to press, which is crazy, because I feel like now is the kind of...
12:06Is that faster?
12:07No, I don't think it's going faster.
12:08Okay, this is it then.
12:09Okay, what's the plan, boys?
12:11What's going on?
12:12Okay, I'm hoping it gives hope is that the automated lawnmowers that mowed up Uncle Mitch
12:16filmed whoever it was that killed him, and that that footage is on the home computer
12:20in the home office.
12:21Oh, my God.
12:22What?
12:22That is so clever.
12:24That is so...
12:24I never even thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
12:28Oh, Toby!
12:29You're actually so smart!
12:32Oh, my God!
12:33And you're really smart too, Katie.
12:35Yeah.
12:37I also find you're really beautiful.
12:39Toby.
12:40I mean...
12:42Look, I, uh...
12:46You're a sweetheart, okay?
12:49And I know how you've always felt about me.
12:54But you just, you've got to get over this now, okay?
12:57You've got work to do.
12:59This is a big moment.
13:00This is your time.
13:02This is your time to shine.
13:03Right now.
13:04Katie!
13:04Isn't that the mansion there?
13:06Oh, yes, yes!
13:11Yeah!
13:19Oh, no!
13:21Oh, no!
13:22Okay.
13:24Come on, Bruce.
13:25Come on!
13:26Ah!
13:26There's a button, come on!
13:32Okay.
13:36Good.
13:40Yeah?
13:40Good, okay.
13:41Um, okay.
13:42Yes, yes, yes, yes.
13:43Um, okay.
13:45Okay.
13:46See ya.
13:47Oh, no, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
13:50shh, shh, shh!
13:53Get out of here.
13:55Yes, yes, yes.
13:56Okay, I got it.
13:59Stop!
13:59Whatever it is you're doing!
14:00Stop!
14:01On your knees!
14:02Immediately!
14:03All of you, now!
14:04Babe, babe, babe, we're just gonna watch a video, okay?
14:05Of Mitch's death!
14:06Come on!
14:07Babe, um, please.
14:08Please, baby.
14:09Baby, my love.
14:10My baby love.
14:11I am on the edge.
14:13It's important, okay?
14:14You've gotta see this!
14:17Babe!
14:21Everything hinged on this.
14:22If my investigation was wrong, Dad got life, and I might be joining him.
14:26Okay, so here, you everyone's here?
14:28You comfy?
14:29Yeah.
14:30Ready?
14:30Yeah.
14:35It's the bloody McKeith brothers.
14:36It was the McKeith brothers.
14:38Well, here's soon to be, dog bugger.
14:42Hettle?
14:43Come on.
14:49Wait, she's gonna be made into that food.
14:54Jesus.
14:55I didn't see all that in the morning.
14:57Why isn't he moving?
14:58He's probably stunned.
15:04She's picked up the camera.
15:06He's trying to do it, like, oh, he's done.
15:08Uh, he's trying to shoot.
15:13Here we go.
15:18Oh, Crocky.
15:20Look at him.
15:22Oh, Crocky.
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh!
15:25Oh!
15:27Oh!
15:28Oh, demon!
15:33And the clowns just drive off.
15:36Hang on, who's that?
15:37This must be where I'm making an appearance.
15:40Yeah, that's me.
15:42Bruce!
15:44And I'll just put it down, see?
15:48I knew you were innocent, Dad.
15:50I told you I didn't do it.
15:51And then, so...
15:54Wait, Katie?
15:56Um, look, I'll just, I'll explain later, okay?
15:58Yeah, it all makes sense, Maddie.
16:00Hang on, you? You knew about that?
16:02So there I am, and then I'm like, what?
16:04And then I go.
16:05So then, if you can, which is very clear,
16:08that I just go straight to the path.
16:17Wow-wee, would you look at that.
16:19I'd done it.
16:21I'd managed to prove Dad's innocence.
16:24I'd finally succeeded and closed the case,
16:26but the feeling was bittersweet.
16:30Petal, my childhood horse,
16:32the only real friend I'd ever known,
16:34was a killer.
16:37What we uncovered here today
16:39is going to take our small town
16:40a long time to get over,
16:42probably days.
16:46But before that,
16:48I had some gloating to do.
16:50Or maybe just some emotional management.
16:54I guess no one would have suspected a horse, hey?
16:57What?
16:59Are you all right, mate?
17:02Yes, fine.
17:02I just couldn't hear you.
17:04I was just saying, I guess no one would have suspected the horse,
17:07but I guess now it proves that we were right about Dad being innocent, hey?
17:13So.
17:15So?
17:17So I told you so.
17:21Not, you know,
17:22but you still managed to find out who Mrs. Moth was
17:24and catch her,
17:25which is, you know,
17:27amazing,
17:28until she got away,
17:29but still.
17:33Shut up, Tubbs.
17:39Let's go home.
18:03And so our small town scandal came to a close.
18:07Although the dust had begun to settle on our wild scandal,
18:11I couldn't stop worrying about Petal's future.
18:14So I stole her away from Uncle Mitch's
18:16and anonymously released her on an ethical farm for abused animals
18:20and didn't tell anyone about it.
18:22And now she's pregnant to a hot stallion.
18:25Sue's frock designs,
18:27aka Mum's dresses,
18:28were shown in the background of the news footage of Mrs. Moth's escape,
18:31and her orders have gone up tenfold.
18:34Mum says Cousin Carol will be taking my room permanently
18:38so they can fulfil all the orders.
18:41Meanwhile,
18:42I'm proud to say I'm self-producing this podcast
18:44and really want to do a shout-out to the nearly ten people
18:47who have already listened, liked and subscribed.
18:52Well,
18:53that's all from me
18:54and our small town of Te Hoiho.
18:56Until next time,
18:58goodbye.
19:02Goes on a bit, doesn't it?
19:04But overall,
19:08not bad, Tobes.
19:10And hopefully,
19:11one of your listeners
19:12can offer you a proper job one day
19:14and then you can finally move out.
19:16But, yes, I, uh,
19:21you've done well.
19:24Anyway, I suppose I should try and get some sleep.
19:27You should too.
19:28You look exhausted.
19:30Stay away from that bridge.
19:33Good night.
19:36So, with the podcast in the can,
19:38I was at a bit of a loss at what to do next.
19:41Sure, I enjoyed the medium of podcastery,
19:44but you needed a good story to tell
19:45and I was clean out of those.
19:47So, I was just happy to lie back and relax.
19:50Well, until tomorrow morning at least.
19:52When I'd have to find some way of making cash
19:55so I could move out of home again.
20:09Hello, Subrakanan here.
20:16Who's been murdered?
20:19And they've no idea who did it?
20:23That sounds positively gruesome.
20:26Oh, what a scandal.
