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.
01:50I'll kill you.
01:53I can't take the damage.
01:53I can't take it.
02:05Oh my God.
02:07Oh my God.
02:07Oh my God.
02:09Oh my God.
02:25Oh, shit.
02:26Oh, shit.
02:37So, I don't even know how to get to the camera,
02:39let alone see what's on it.
02:41So, good evening, sir.
02:53Oh, hello. Hey.
02:55I'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. These?
03:11All 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.
03:19I'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.
03:24Oh.
03:25We 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...
03:30Hey, uh...
03:32What's up at your top there, Tubbs?
03:33Uh, nothing.
03:34See ya.
03:34Bye.
03:35Tubbs!
03:36Tubbs!
03:36Tubbs!
03:39Tubbs!
03:40What are you going for?
03:41Stop!
03:42Police!
03:44All units, I'm in, proceed!
03:46Stop!
03:48Agh!
03:52Back up!
04:15Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:17What are you doing?
04:18You 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 home computer.
04:37It's not in there.
04:39Oh, God.
04:42Okay, I'm back at the Hyper Maga store,
04:45and I'm following another crazy twist where it turns out that in order to see the footage
04:48on the mowers, I need to go to Uncle Mitch's mansion and look on the home computer.
04:53No.
04:53Wait.
04:54Wait.
04:55What?
04:57Gotcha, 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.
05:06Ah!
05:08Oh, shit!
05:10Ah!
05:11Ah!
05:11Ah!
05:12Ah!
05:13Ah!
05:13Oh!
05:14You have the right to remain silent.
05:16Okay, just give me-
05:16Shush it!
05:17Tubbs!
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 in there.
05:27Yeah.
05:37Once a criminal, always a criminal, eh, Toby?
05:41What are you on about?
05:41I bought this big jar of lollipops, with my own money, as rewards for my class.
05:48And young Toby 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.
06:01Oh.
06:03Oh.
06:04Fair call.
06:09Been good to see you, Toby.
06:12Would have been better under better circumstances.
06:15Yeah.
06:17Yeah, it has 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 but I'm 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 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.
06:59As 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's that?
07:13What the hell is that?
07:14What the hell is that?
07:16You took your bloody time!
07:28What are you doing?
07:30You're going to be in so much trouble.
07:40Good luck, you pricks.
08:09What the hell are they all doing here?
08:11What the hell are they all doing here?
08:12That's right, Dad.
08:12Hey!
08:13You got him.
08:14You get back here!
08:15What the hell are you doing here?
08:18You got me.
08:19You got me.
08:23I got you for now.
08:24No!
08:26Get out of it, you purks!
08:31No way.
08:31Oh, man.
08:39Shit!
08:41Sorry.
08:45What?
08:58Hey, hey, hey.
09:01Oh, God.
09:04Cheers, Toad.
09:05We could have been killed out here.
09:06OK.
09:07We 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.
09:12I'm totally outnumbered.
09:16Are these your mum's frocks?
09:18Yes, for frocks in the field.
09:20She's doing a fashion show.
09:21She hasn't lost a touch, has she?
09:23Oh, what a talent.
09:25Look at all this.
09:29She's an extraordinary woman.
09:31We don't have time for this, Dad.
09:33We've got to get you out of here.
09:34It's no use, son.
09:36We're as good as dog tagging.
09:37Could you be positive for one second, Dad?
09:40Could you try that, please?
09:42I'm trying to save you from a life sentence.
09:45Sorry.
09:49I know my edit.
09:50Shut up.
09:51Fair enough.
09:52No, I mean shut up.
09:53I've got an idea.
09:56Okay.
09:57I'm trying to save you from the house.
09:59And follow me.
10:03Can I ride the horse?
10:04Please.
10:05Please.
10:06I said, piss off, kids.
10:08This way, Dad.
10:10This way, Dad.
10:11This way, Dad.
10:12And three.
10:13Yes, oh.
10:14No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:15No, this is the fillies. The stallions are over there, please.
10:18Over there. Over there.
10:19Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
10:21Katie, it's me.
10:23Toby, what 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
10:36that you touched my leg in the car the other day.
10:39Good, and a yes, and a go, and a dance, and 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, always smiling, always going, and going, okay?
10:58Liz, that's got a bit of a sticky ignition, okay?
11:00So when you turn it on, forward, right just before you feel
11:04kind of hits the, you have to hold it, just, I'll take it.
11:07I'll take you, okay?
11:08I'll drive you to where you need to go.
11:11My car's over there, all right?
11:12All right?
11:13Good, good, keep going, keep going, can you drill them,
11:15keep going, adarap, adarap, adarap, adarap.
11:17Smile, smile.
11:18Oh, Jesus.
11:19Bloody hot ping a horse's ass.
11:21Don't, get me down, I'll see you.
11:30McKenzie!
11:31Go down, run, run, run, run.
11:35I've got you now, you can't run!
11:37Run!
11:38Oh, Jesus.
11:43God, I 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,
12:03because 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
12:13is that the automated lawnmowers
12:15that mowed up Uncle Mitch
12:16filmed whoever it was that killed him.
12:18And that that footage
12:19is on the home computer in 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,
12:26but it makes perfect sense.
12:28Oh, Toby, you'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.
12:43I, uh...
12:46You're a sweetheart, okay?
12:49And I know how you've always laughed about me.
12:54But you just...
12:55You'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!
13:11Yeah!
13:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
13:19Oh.
13:20Oh, no!
13:21Oh, sorry.
13:24Come on, Bruce, come on.
13:26Ah!
13:26Jesus, buddy, come on.
13:34What's up?
13:39Good.
13:40Yeah?
13:40Good?
13:41OK.
13:42Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
13:44OK.
13:45OK.
13:46See you.
13:47Oh, no.
13:48Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
13:50sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
13:52Oh, no.
13:53Get out of here, Bruce.
13:55Yes, yes, yes.
13:56OK, I got it.
13:59Stop!
13:59Whatever it is you're doing, on your knees, immediately, all of you, now!
14:04Babe, babe, babe, we're just going to watch a video, OK, of Mitch's death.
14:06Come on!
14:07Babe, um, please, please, baby.
14:09Baby, my love, my baby love.
14:12I am on the edge.
14:13It's important, OK?
14:15You've got to see this.
14:17Babe.
14:21Everything hinged on this.
14:22If my investigation was wrong, Dad got life, and I might be joining him.
14:27OK.
14:27So here, you everyone's here, you comfy?
14:29Yeah.
14:30Ready?
14:30Yeah.
14:35It's the bloody McKeith brothers.
14:36It was the McKeith brothers.
14:38Well, here she is soon to be, dog bugger.
14:42That's all.
14:43Come on.
14:49Wait, she's going to be made into pet 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.
15:10Oh!
15:11The horse is smushing.
15:13Oh.
15:14Here we are.
15:18Oh,崩.
15:21Oh,崩.
15:22Oh,崩.
15:23Oh!
15:23Oh,崩.
15:25Oh!
15:27Oh!
15:29A demon!
15:32And the clowns just drive off.
15:35Oh, no.
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'll all make 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,
16:33was a killer.
16:37What we uncovered here today
16:39is going to take our small town a long time to get over.
16:42Probably days.
16:47But before that, I 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?
17:01Yes, fine.
17:02I just couldn't hear you.
17:04I was just saying,
17:05I guess no one would have suspected the horse,
17:07but I guess now
17:10proofs 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, which is, you know,
17:27amazing, until 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, aka 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, I'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, that's all from me and our small town of Te Hoiho.
18:56Until next time, goodbye.
19:02Goes on a bit, doesn't it?
19:05But overall...
19:08Not bad, Tobes.
19:10And hopefully one of your listeners can offer you a proper job one day
19:14and then you can finally move out.
19:16But, yes, I...
19:20You've done well.
19:24Anyway, I suppose I should try and get some sleep.
19:27You should too.
19:28You look exhausted.
19:30And stay 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.
19:53When 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.
