00:00:05I just want to remember how it felt before
00:00:13Floating on our backs, looking up at the sun
00:00:22Diamonds crashing, pushing each other down
00:00:29Do you want to go back in?
00:00:37Do you want to go back in?
00:00:45And God said to Abraham, Abe, you know, Adam and Eve, they let me down.
00:00:49I need you to step up.
00:00:52And Abe said, I'm down for that.
00:00:53Just tell me what you want.
00:00:55So the next day, God says, cool.
00:00:58Let's get ready to rock.
00:01:02Oh, dear God.
00:01:05So the next day, God said, cool.
00:01:07Let's get ready to rock.
00:01:08This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
00:01:10And that is what was so special with Abraham and Noah and God
00:01:15and all those early dudes, you know, they were just hanging out,
00:01:18doing the best they could with very little.
00:01:20A few sheep, the occasional goat, and an olive tree.
00:01:25No internet, right?
00:01:26No Snapchat or meeting up at the mall.
00:01:28Just an appreciation for the needs of the day.
00:01:32And that was how I understood Fred Sullivan to be.
00:01:35A man who asked for little, but in return received so much.
00:01:39So much love and respect from so many of you here today.
00:01:42Sheep, goats, and olive trees, folks.
00:01:45And maybe a right-hand point break if you're lucky enough to find one.
00:01:48So let's not be sad, Fred.
00:01:51Let's not think of death as the end, but merely a gateway to eternal life.
00:01:55Death, one door closes.
00:01:57Another one opens.
00:01:59Life.
00:02:02Let's open our books and sing.
00:02:03The Lord is my shepherd.
00:02:05And I chose this one today because the lyrics are awesome.
00:02:08The message is very simple.
00:02:09Let the Lord be your shepherd, and you won't lose any of your goats.
00:02:13The Lord is my shepherd.
00:02:19The Lord is my shepherd.
00:02:25I shall not walk.
00:02:41Ah!
00:02:42Oh, my God.
00:02:46Isabel?
00:02:48No.
00:02:49No, no, please, God, no!
00:03:02Talk to me.
00:03:04Bit of an awkward one, Mike.
00:03:05The name of the deceased is Isabel Mantel,
00:03:08wife of Canon Zach Mantel of St. Judas,
00:03:10who was preparing to commit another deceased
00:03:13at the time of the discovery of her body.
00:03:16The victim hanged herself knowing that her husband will find it.
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:20A very public display of disaffection.
00:03:24No Reverend Green?
00:03:25I haven't seen him yet.
00:03:27If this is a suicide, why are we here?
00:03:29Her uniform's thought that something seemed off.
00:03:32There's no ladder or anything she could have used to get herself up there.
00:03:35We wouldn't necessarily need a ladder.
00:03:37It was a well as a way.
00:03:41Hello, Mike.
00:03:43Gina, you bit me here.
00:03:44I was at the service, so when I got a call, I was here almost before I left.
00:03:49A friend of yours?
00:03:50I didn't know him.
00:03:51I go to the services because of Canon Zach.
00:03:53His words caress me.
00:03:56You know, the deceased is his wife.
00:03:58People who swing from trees should know they are not monkeys.
00:04:02Gina.
00:04:02What?
00:04:03She shouldn't have been in that tree.
00:04:10Hello, Isabel.
00:04:12Seems like you had a bad day.
00:04:14Who knows if tomorrow might have just been a little bit better.
00:04:19Mike.
00:04:21This is the sexton, Nate Ford.
00:04:24G'day.
00:04:25Nate says he checked the grave around 9.30.
00:04:28Yeah, before the service.
00:04:30There was no sign of it.
00:04:32Okay, thanks.
00:04:34And the deceased husband would like to have a moment with her?
00:04:38Of course.
00:04:40Zach, this is DSS Mike Shepard.
00:04:44I'm very sorry for your loss.
00:04:46May her memory be a blessing.
00:04:49I meant to that.
00:05:02Ask me questions.
00:05:04Why is it all the ways?
00:05:08Help me, O Lord.
00:05:09Give me strength and a vision to understand what your plan is.
00:05:14I mean to that.
00:05:21Oh, uh, three usuals, thanks, Ro.
00:05:26You boys okay?
00:05:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:29Real tough about Ken Anzac's, Mr. Z.
00:05:31You knew her.
00:05:32Soy milk latte, cinnamon, no sugar.
00:05:34Real nice lady.
00:05:35Bit of a trade wife, you know.
00:05:37Talked a lot about baking.
00:05:38And the secret to a chewy Anzac biscuit is the amount of golden syrup.
00:05:41Isabel makes an awesome Anzac.
00:05:48Oh, I mean, you're not wrong.
00:05:52Good, take them.
00:05:53Fair for you.
00:05:54For all the work you do around the church grounds, a token of appreciation.
00:05:58Sure.
00:06:01Working at the cemetery.
00:06:02Is that a new thing, Todd?
00:06:04Yeah, just helping out, Nate.
00:06:06The busy season.
00:06:07I didn't realise funerals were seasonal.
00:06:10Well, nah, but Ken Anzac makes it real popular.
00:06:12Everybody wants to be buried by them.
00:06:14Wow.
00:06:15Hey, I wonder if you'll bury his own missus.
00:06:17True.
00:06:17Yeah, you should want that, eh?
00:06:19So, who was the other woman with Ken Anzac and his wife?
00:06:25Uh, Verity.
00:06:27What?
00:06:28It's funny you say that.
00:06:30We think she's the other woman, if you know what I mean.
00:06:35You mean?
00:06:36You know.
00:06:38I mean, it's cool with the Mormons, right?
00:06:40Ken Anzac isn't a Mormon, he's Anglican.
00:06:42Then I guess they're into it too.
00:06:44You know what they say, when in Rome, always do a Roman?
00:06:47No, I don't think that's how that goes.
00:06:48You actually become a man of the cloth.
00:06:50You instantly become a babe magnet.
00:06:53Reverend Green is a babe magnet.
00:06:55Never looked at him that way before.
00:06:58Have you seen his new hairdos?
00:06:59Reverend Green doesn't have any hair.
00:07:01He does now.
00:07:05What's up, Frodo?
00:07:06Hey, Reverend Green.
00:07:08Your usual?
00:07:09Whoa.
00:07:10Yes, my usual.
00:07:11Thanks.
00:07:12Sure.
00:07:14Sure, bro.
00:07:17The Holy Spirit comes out all the time.
00:07:19He's in everything.
00:07:20Architecture, birdsong, music.
00:07:22If we listen, he speaks to us, and it's poetry, man.
00:07:26It's awesome.
00:07:27Reverend.
00:07:28Isabel.
00:07:29Time to start planning the bake sale.
00:07:37How's it?
00:07:39Reverend Green was wearing a dupee.
00:07:41Yeah, and new trainers, and a gold train.
00:07:44When was this?
00:07:45A couple of weeks ago.
00:07:47You could call it a midlife crisis.
00:07:49But that rug was pretty extreme.
00:07:51More like a crisis of faith.
00:07:53Okay.
00:07:54Thanks, guys.
00:07:55Yeah, thanks.
00:07:58Sounds like the very Reverend Green has a new lease on life.
00:08:01Oh, he's having a stroke.
00:08:07This should help get you through the annual report.
00:08:10Thanks.
00:08:11Protos?
00:08:12Who else?
00:08:13Of course.
00:08:14Good.
00:08:16So it seems Cannon Zach is turning heads in town.
00:08:19There may have been a third party involved.
00:08:21Verity Larson, long-time friend of Cannon Zach.
00:08:24Messy marriage.
00:08:26Well, hearsay only.
00:08:26But it possibly was a catalyst to her.
00:08:31We'll let the coroner know in the report.
00:08:37Gina.
00:08:39Mike.
00:08:40Monkeys don't grow on trees.
00:08:42Money.
00:08:43I think you mean money.
00:08:44What?
00:08:45Money doesn't grow on trees.
00:08:46Of course not.
00:08:47I know that.
00:08:48But neither do monkeys.
00:08:50What are you saying?
00:08:52The victim.
00:08:52She was not trying to be a monkey.
00:08:56This bruising here, red with contusions, where the rope pulled tight against her weight.
00:09:02I see it.
00:09:03But here, a second ligature mark, more horizontal, suggesting it was made earlier.
00:09:10Strangled.
00:09:11How much earlier?
00:09:12The post-mortem will confirm.
00:09:14I'll call you when I want to.
00:09:16Thanks, Gina.
00:09:18Sims, change of plan.
00:09:37DSS, Mike Shepard.
00:09:38Detective Kristen Sims, Brooklynwood CIB.
00:09:40It's parody, right?
00:09:42Yeah.
00:09:43And my friend is Zach.
00:09:44And Isabel.
00:09:45Do you mind if we have a word with Ken and Zach, please?
00:09:52Murdered?
00:09:53We're treating it as a homicide, yes.
00:09:56What a dreadful business.
00:09:57It sucks.
00:09:59Oh, dear.
00:10:00That makes no sense.
00:10:02Who on earth would want to do that?
00:10:03We're hoping that you can give us some background.
00:10:06Do you know of anyone who, for any reason, may have wanted to hurt your wife?
00:10:10No.
00:10:11She was a good Christian soul.
00:10:13Her baking will be...
00:10:19Yes, Thelma.
00:10:20Her baking will be sorely missed at prayer meetings.
00:10:26Apologies.
00:10:32Lucas Green?
00:10:33I'm with Ken and Zach now, yes.
00:10:35Obviously, it's a difficult time.
00:10:37The thing is, the Sullivan whanau are very worried about their father.
00:10:44Oh.
00:10:46Yes, I see.
00:10:48No, no, no.
00:10:49I understand.
00:10:51It is awkward.
00:10:52Perhaps offer them a nip of sherry and I'll be right on to it.
00:10:59Fred Sullivan.
00:11:02It seems that in all the excitement, he's been, um, left.
00:11:11Oh, dear.
00:11:12Oh, hell.
00:11:14Um, not to worry.
00:11:18I'll finish for you.
00:11:19Thanks, Lucas.
00:11:21What about you?
00:11:22You all right?
00:11:24Yes, of course.
00:11:26Absolutely fine.
00:11:28I must dash, detectives.
00:11:30I'll, I'll, I'll need you back up there, shall we say, half an hour.
00:11:34And, Thelma, perhaps it's best that you come with me.
00:11:39Of course.
00:11:40Yes.
00:11:41I'm so, so sorry, Reverend.
00:11:44Thank you, Thelma.
00:11:46I'll, uh, make another cuppa, eh?
00:11:51When was the last time that you saw your wife?
00:11:54Uh, this morning.
00:11:55As I headed out for a dawning.
00:11:58Early morning, sir.
00:12:00What time was that?
00:12:01I left at six.
00:12:03She was already up.
00:12:06Today was meant to be the annual church bake sale.
00:12:10Be safe out there.
00:12:12She was gone when I got back.
00:12:14Hey, Izzy, I'm back.
00:12:16I've got to head to the Sullivan funeral.
00:12:18I thought she'd already headed to the church hall.
00:12:22And what time would that have been?
00:12:25Around nine.
00:12:26What time did the funeral start?
00:12:28Ten, so I was hurrying a bit.
00:12:30Um, look, I'm sorry.
00:12:32I can't be of my help.
00:12:34Well, if anything comes to mind, please give us a call.
00:12:40We'll leave you two.
00:12:43Thanks.
00:12:59Reverend Green has hair.
00:13:01Indeed.
00:13:01Some may say the eighth wonder of the world.
00:13:03Detectives.
00:13:07I know someone who might have wanted to hurt Isabel.
00:13:12And who might that be?
00:13:15He just left.
00:13:22Zach is popular.
00:13:24He's charismatic.
00:13:26Kind of cool, right?
00:13:27Everything Reverend Green is not.
00:13:29Are you saying that Reverend Green feels threatened by Ken and Zach?
00:13:33Wouldn't you be?
00:13:34Some handsome dude turns up, gives the place a makeover.
00:13:37Was Zach sent to St. Judas?
00:13:39The diocese thought the place could do with the lift, so they allowed Reverend Green to recruit.
00:13:43Sure enough, Zach shows up and it's like St. Judas is the place to be.
00:13:47Everyone loves to hear him speak.
00:13:48He makes them all feel, you know, inspired and welcome and turned on, if you like.
00:13:55But you said it was Reverend Green's idea.
00:13:57He chose Zach, yeah.
00:13:58And then his popularity made Reverend Green jealous.
00:14:03But you're not listening to me.
00:14:05It's not that he's jealous of Zach.
00:14:08He's in love with him.
00:14:13But Ken and Zach isn't gay, no.
00:14:17But have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have?
00:14:21And Zach is married?
00:14:23Not anymore.
00:14:26Are we buying this?
00:14:28Reverend Green kills his colleague's wife to...
00:14:32To get into his pants?
00:14:34It's okay, you can say it out loud.
00:14:35I was going to say to make him available, but sure.
00:14:39Are we buying it?
00:14:41Not until we know more about these allegations.
00:14:45Where does Verity Larson fit in?
00:14:48Our family friend, visitor, that's about it, really.
00:14:52For a visitor, she knows a lot about the goings-on at St. Judas.
00:14:56But what do we know about her?
00:15:00Yes, I'd like a word with him.
00:15:02I'll just check.
00:15:04Awfully sorry to keep you waiting.
00:15:06Rather a lot on.
00:15:07Not to worry, Ben.
00:15:08Well looked after by this one.
00:15:10Reverend.
00:15:11Thelma.
00:15:12It's DC Chalmers from Brokenwood CIB.
00:15:14He'd like a word.
00:15:15Tell him now's not a good time.
00:15:17Obviously, we have pressing matters.
00:15:19Of course.
00:15:23Ah, let's get the show on the road, shall we?
00:15:27Okay, I'll try him again later.
00:15:29Thanks.
00:15:34Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:15:35Zach shouldn't really be alone.
00:15:37Of course.
00:15:38Just a couple more things.
00:15:39Firstly, thank you for being so candid with us.
00:15:42Your relationship with Zach Mantell?
00:15:45Best friends.
00:15:46We went to primary school together.
00:15:48We've stayed in touch.
00:15:49I went to each other's 21sts, graduations, weddings.
00:15:54Weddings.
00:15:54Plural.
00:15:55So you're married?
00:15:56Was.
00:15:57Tried, failed, pulled the pin after two years.
00:16:00Married the wrong guy.
00:16:02Happens though, right?
00:16:03Sure.
00:16:04Yeah, I guess.
00:16:05You're not married?
00:16:07No.
00:16:07Anyway, um, how long have you been visiting?
00:16:11This time, uh, about two weeks.
00:16:14Just passing through, checking out the point breaks along the coast.
00:16:16So you surf?
00:16:18As does Zach.
00:16:19He has incredible form.
00:16:21Did Isabel?
00:16:23Nah, she wasn't into it.
00:16:24She doesn't mind you heading out with her husband?
00:16:29It's just surfing.
00:16:30Right.
00:16:31She liked it.
00:16:32Why would she like it?
00:16:33Because I kept the other surfer chicks away from him.
00:16:36Oh.
00:16:37Popular.
00:16:38Is he?
00:16:38It's cool.
00:16:39People like him, like to talk to him.
00:16:43Are you a Christian as well?
00:16:45No.
00:16:47Yet you and Zach are very close.
00:16:49You don't have to believe in God to ride a wave.
00:16:52Although Zach does tell me that the feelings are very similar.
00:16:55Being picked up and pushed along.
00:16:57Powerful force in your life.
00:17:00Did that ever make things awkward for you between Isabel and Zach?
00:17:04In what way?
00:17:05Not sharing their faith.
00:17:07No.
00:17:12I would really like to get back to him.
00:17:14Yeah, just as a matter of interest,
00:17:15this morning between 6 and 10 a.m.
00:17:19Where were you?
00:17:20Out surfing.
00:17:21With Zach?
00:17:22No, I was on my own.
00:17:35Dr. Plummer.
00:17:38Is this about the canon's wife?
00:17:40Indirectly.
00:17:41You'll be wanting Lucas.
00:17:42He's not here.
00:17:43I'm aware of that, but I'm hoping you can help me.
00:17:50Thanks.
00:17:55It's something I've been dealing with for several months now.
00:17:59Like living with someone who's had a personality transplant.
00:18:04We love the Lord, and the Lord will include us.
00:18:06Share the love of the Lord.
00:18:07Come on down to St. Judas.
00:18:09Awesome, Rev G.
00:18:10I'll go put it on the socials now.
00:18:13Lucas, what in the world are you doing?
00:18:14Tick-tock.
00:18:17With Zach attracting the younger congregation,
00:18:19we need to consolidate, keep them plugged in.
00:18:22It's jolly good fun, actually.
00:18:24Zach said it would be.
00:18:25Canon Zach.
00:18:26He's made quite an impression on Brokenwood.
00:18:30Look, it's Canon Zach.
00:18:31Hi, guys, Zach.
00:18:34Hi.
00:18:37And on Lucas.
00:18:39Lorena, Zach.
00:18:46And it got worse.
00:18:47And Jesus approached the blind man and said,
00:18:51Brother, I hear your cries.
00:18:53Then Jesus said,
00:18:55Let me place my head upon your thighs.
00:18:59Hands.
00:19:00Let me place my hands on your eyes.
00:19:05being, um,
00:19:07being a blind person, of course.
00:19:13Yes, um,
00:19:16let us turn to
00:19:19Psalm 69.
00:19:2296.
00:19:23Oh, dear.
00:19:25sing to the Lord a new song.
00:19:28To the point of delusional.
00:19:30Just popping out to that staff meeting.
00:19:32Lucas, what are you wearing?
00:19:34Hmm?
00:19:34Oh, step in here.
00:19:39Hmm?
00:19:41Oh, it's an
00:19:43evening meeting.
00:19:44We can afford to be more casual.
00:19:45You look ridiculous.
00:19:47Roger.
00:19:48Lucas, please.
00:19:50He wouldn't listen.
00:19:51Love is blind and deaf, it seems.
00:19:54Oh, jolly good.
00:19:56Thank you, Roger.
00:19:58Lucas,
00:19:59what is that thing on your head?
00:20:01Hmm?
00:20:02Oh, sometimes it's good to
00:20:03change things up a bit.
00:20:05The fountain of youth
00:20:06is to be drunk from
00:20:07before it dries up.
00:20:08And I thought you might like it.
00:20:10Lucas, please.
00:20:12It's not for my benefit, is it?
00:20:15I will not be judged
00:20:16by anyone other than
00:20:17the Lord God, our Father.
00:20:21And I thought you might have been
00:20:22a bit more supportive.
00:20:26The benefit being for Ken and Zach?
00:20:29I choose to believe
00:20:30it's just a phase.
00:20:32Fortunately, a week ago,
00:20:33I persuaded him to cease and desist
00:20:35with his use of the toupee.
00:20:37That's some progress, at least.
00:20:38My understanding is
00:20:40he was wearing it
00:20:41today.
00:20:43Seriously?
00:20:45And I assure you,
00:20:46we'll be having words.
00:20:48Today was a day off
00:20:49for Reverend Green?
00:20:51Yes.
00:20:53Did he spend the morning
00:20:54at home?
00:20:55Yes.
00:20:59And no.
00:21:03And so we commit
00:21:05Fred Sullivan
00:21:06into the earth.
00:21:07Ashes to ashes,
00:21:09dust to dust.
00:21:11We pray for Fred
00:21:12and say,
00:21:14Godspeed.
00:21:17Well,
00:21:18that's that.
00:21:19And I'm very sorry about it.
00:21:22Good day I'm dead in the ground.
00:21:24There's another bottle
00:21:25back at the church.
00:21:27Yeah,
00:21:27wouldn't say no.
00:21:28Nate,
00:21:29over to you.
00:21:30Todd,
00:21:31lean into it.
00:21:36Everything alright?
00:21:37Sorry to interrupt.
00:21:39Could we have a chat somewhere?
00:21:41Is it too early
00:21:43for a Pimms?
00:21:49Mrs. Baker?
00:21:51Such a shame.
00:21:53The Bollivons
00:21:53are already losing
00:21:54their path.
00:22:05Isn't it so
00:22:06beautiful?
00:22:13I'm sorry.
00:22:15Oh,
00:22:15thank you.
00:22:16In one minute
00:22:17she's creating
00:22:18the patisserie equivalent
00:22:18of the Mona Lisa.
00:22:19The next minute
00:22:21she's gone.
00:22:22It's a shock
00:22:23to all concern,
00:22:24I'm sure,
00:22:25Mrs.
00:22:25Miss Groves.
00:22:26It's Miss.
00:22:27You never married,
00:22:28did you,
00:22:28Thelma?
00:22:29Apologies,
00:22:30Miss Groves.
00:22:31Call me Thelma.
00:22:32I'm the new
00:22:33lay preacher
00:22:34here at St. Judas.
00:22:36I used to be
00:22:36across town
00:22:37at Sacred Heart
00:22:38but I jumped ship.
00:22:39But your connection
00:22:40with Mrs. Mantell
00:22:42is through St. Judas?
00:22:43Yes.
00:22:44She and Ken and Zach
00:22:45are relatively new here
00:22:46to just five months.
00:22:48But they opened
00:22:49their house up to us.
00:22:51Oh,
00:22:51I'm sorry,
00:22:52better off the speaker.
00:22:54Oh,
00:22:55can I?
00:22:56Oh,
00:22:56all right.
00:22:56Oh,
00:22:57well done.
00:22:58We became firm friends
00:22:59almost instantly.
00:23:01When did you last see
00:23:03Mrs. Mantell?
00:23:04Last night.
00:23:05We had a meeting here
00:23:06for the bake sale
00:23:07to finalise plans.
00:23:08Just yourselves?
00:23:10And Mrs. Mantell?
00:23:11And
00:23:12Ken and Zach
00:23:13and Reverend Green.
00:23:15Mr. Ford.
00:23:16Nate.
00:23:17He's the new
00:23:18sexton here.
00:23:19Oh,
00:23:20the previous
00:23:21gravedigger,
00:23:22Mr. Odes,
00:23:22is spending some time
00:23:23in jail,
00:23:24you know.
00:23:25Which is all
00:23:26a bit exciting.
00:23:27The other woman
00:23:29at the meeting.
00:23:31Oh,
00:23:32he means Robbie.
00:23:33Oh,
00:23:34yes.
00:23:35But you see,
00:23:35you can't say that.
00:23:37That will leave us
00:23:38with twelve cakes,
00:23:39eight tins of Anzac biscuits,
00:23:40four trays of chocolate brownies.
00:23:42Robbie is
00:23:42non-binary.
00:23:45You know,
00:23:45not a girl
00:23:46or a boy.
00:23:47Which I find
00:23:48absolutely fascinating.
00:23:51I mean,
00:23:51Isabel always said
00:23:52that Robbie was trying
00:23:52to have it both ways,
00:23:53but I don't think
00:23:54that's fair.
00:23:55It's about how
00:23:56you feel,
00:23:57isn't it?
00:23:57God knows,
00:23:58sometimes I felt
00:23:59like being a woman
00:23:59has been a real
00:24:00pain in the bottom.
00:24:01I imagine you felt
00:24:02the same.
00:24:04Yeah,
00:24:04about being a man,
00:24:06sometimes.
00:24:08Oh,
00:24:08it is so binary
00:24:10when you think
00:24:10about it,
00:24:11man,
00:24:11woman.
00:24:13Robbie's been
00:24:13a real eye-opener.
00:24:15They really have.
00:24:16She was late
00:24:16for the funeral,
00:24:17though,
00:24:17did you notice?
00:24:18They.
00:24:18Apologies.
00:24:19They.
00:24:21They were late.
00:24:22It's an acolyte.
00:24:23It's not a good look.
00:24:24And that was
00:24:25how I understood
00:24:26Fred Sullivan to be.
00:24:27A man who asks
00:24:28for little,
00:24:29but in return
00:24:29receives so much.
00:24:31So much love
00:24:32and respect
00:24:32from so many
00:24:33of you here today.
00:24:34Sheep, goats
00:24:35and olive trees,
00:24:36folks.
00:24:36And maybe
00:24:37a right-hand point break
00:24:38if you're lucky
00:24:38enough to find one.
00:24:40So let's not be sad,
00:24:41Fred.
00:24:42Let's not think
00:24:43of death.
00:24:43At the moment,
00:24:44I thought she'd been
00:24:44toot in the old
00:24:45marching powder,
00:24:46if you know
00:24:46what I mean.
00:24:47Why would you think
00:24:48that?
00:24:49Troubled background.
00:24:50They turned up here
00:24:51one stormy night.
00:24:57Hey there.
00:25:01Such a hero.
00:25:03He picked her up.
00:25:04Them.
00:25:05Them.
00:25:05Them up.
00:25:06Took them under his wing
00:25:07like a little
00:25:08non-binary Moses
00:25:10floating in a woven
00:25:11basket down the
00:25:12river Nile.
00:25:13Except there was
00:25:14no basket.
00:25:14And the Nile's
00:25:15quite far from here.
00:25:15But there they were.
00:25:16Little boy-girl baby
00:25:18who just happened
00:25:18to be 25 years old.
00:25:20Next minute,
00:25:21he makes them
00:25:21an acolyte.
00:25:22And everyone
00:25:23lived happily ever
00:25:24after.
00:25:25Oh.
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:29The meeting
00:25:30last night?
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:32I'm trying green
00:25:33lamingtons this year.
00:25:34I'm thinking
00:25:35four dozen.
00:25:37Great commitment,
00:25:38Becky.
00:25:39Well, I'll be up
00:25:40early to bake
00:25:41three sponges
00:25:41and put the finishing
00:25:42touches to my
00:25:43cockambouche.
00:25:44Thelma, I'll need
00:25:44a hand to transport
00:25:45that.
00:25:46It would be my honour.
00:25:48Let's say 8.30.
00:25:49And I have you
00:25:50done for scones
00:25:51and jam three ways.
00:25:52Still tracking well?
00:25:53Apricot,
00:25:54strawberry,
00:25:55and I'm thinking
00:25:56of trying something
00:25:56new, passion fruit
00:25:58and guava.
00:25:59That sounds amazing.
00:26:02Robbie,
00:26:03you on target
00:26:04with your contribution?
00:26:06I could do
00:26:08a banana cake.
00:26:11And?
00:26:13Two banana cakes.
00:26:18And Nate.
00:26:20Well, you know
00:26:20I can't bake
00:26:21to save myself
00:26:22and I have to dig
00:26:23for the Sullivan
00:26:24burial in the morning
00:26:25but I'll set up
00:26:27the tables tonight,
00:26:28whatever you need.
00:26:28Jolly good.
00:26:30Like Nate,
00:26:30I'll be leaving
00:26:31the cuisine to the
00:26:31experts.
00:26:32Plus, there's an
00:26:33offshore tomorrow
00:26:34morning with a
00:26:34four-foot swell
00:26:35building.
00:26:36Oh, you'll be
00:26:36sneaking up for a
00:26:37dawny before the
00:26:38funeral, will you?
00:26:39Well, if you
00:26:39insist, my dearest.
00:26:42They were so
00:26:43in love.
00:26:44Oh, excuse me.
00:26:48Gina.
00:26:49Mike, I would
00:26:50like to have you
00:26:51now.
00:26:51Uh, sure.
00:26:53See you soon.
00:26:56Sorry about that.
00:26:57I don't mean
00:26:58that happens.
00:27:01She sounds nice.
00:27:02She's from Russia.
00:27:04Oh, I see.
00:27:06She's a pathologist.
00:27:08Ah.
00:27:08Well, it takes
00:27:09all sorts.
00:27:10Uh, Thelma,
00:27:11this...
00:27:12Uh, did you
00:27:15bring it here?
00:27:15Yes, I picked it
00:27:16up, like I said
00:27:17I would.
00:27:17At 8.30?
00:27:18Yes.
00:27:20Was Mrs. Mantell
00:27:21there?
00:27:21No.
00:27:22And you managed
00:27:23on your own?
00:27:24Oh, yes.
00:27:26If Mrs. Mantell
00:27:27wasn't there, how
00:27:27did you get into
00:27:28the house?
00:27:29No, the door
00:27:29was open.
00:27:30It's here.
00:27:33Oh.
00:27:39Thelma, Mrs. Baker,
00:27:41thank you very much.
00:27:42You've been most
00:27:42helpful.
00:27:44All this baking,
00:27:45what are we going
00:27:46to do?
00:27:50I'm guessing
00:27:51they'll be awake.
00:27:53Two waters,
00:27:54no charge,
00:27:55and one double
00:27:57pens with lemon.
00:27:58Thanks, Lena.
00:27:59Hey, your vibe is back.
00:28:01Slay.
00:28:02It's really growing
00:28:03on me.
00:28:04Well, I guess you wish
00:28:05it was actually
00:28:06growing on you,
00:28:07right?
00:28:09Thanks, Lena.
00:28:19It's been quite
00:28:19the day.
00:28:21This morning,
00:28:22you weren't at the
00:28:22funeral for Mr. Sullivan?
00:28:24No, the Sullivans
00:28:25requested Zach.
00:28:26Oh, you were
00:28:27okay with that?
00:28:28Of course.
00:28:29I'm more than happy
00:28:30for Zachary to take
00:28:31the lead.
00:28:31He's done wonders
00:28:32for St. Judas.
00:28:33If you weren't
00:28:34required at the
00:28:35church,
00:28:35what did you do?
00:28:37When?
00:28:38This morning.
00:28:40It was my
00:28:41appointed day off.
00:28:42So you were
00:28:43at home?
00:28:43Yes.
00:28:45But not
00:28:46all morning.
00:28:48What do you mean?
00:28:50I saw Dr. Plummer
00:28:51earlier.
00:28:51You see,
00:28:52I stood around
00:28:526 a.m.
00:28:57I heard Lucas
00:28:58moving about.
00:29:00Well, yes,
00:29:01I went for a walk
00:29:02to clear my head.
00:29:05in Dr. Plummer's car.
00:29:08I breakfasted alone.
00:29:09Then I went to
00:29:10retrieve a case file
00:29:11for my first patient
00:29:12of the day
00:29:13that I'd left
00:29:13in my car.
00:29:19That's when I realized
00:29:20he must have taken it.
00:29:22Most annoying,
00:29:23my client was arriving
00:29:23at 9 a.m.
00:29:24He borrowed your car.
00:29:25Is that unusual?
00:29:26Highly.
00:29:27He's a dreadful driver.
00:29:28Probably should be banned.
00:29:30He never chooses to drive.
00:29:31I don't know that
00:29:32I take exception to that.
00:29:33There's nothing wrong
00:29:33with my driving.
00:29:34You took his car to...
00:29:36A nice place to walk.
00:29:37Being my day off,
00:29:38I had more time,
00:29:39you see.
00:29:41Then I got home.
00:29:43I heard the news
00:29:43about Isabel,
00:29:44so I went to support
00:29:46Zach.
00:29:47Who notified you
00:29:48about Mrs. Mantell?
00:29:49I received a phone call
00:29:50from Robbie.
00:29:58Robbie.
00:29:59Oh, of course,
00:29:59at that time
00:30:00we were all under
00:30:00the misrepresentation.
00:30:01It was by our own hand.
00:30:02Oh, dear.
00:30:03Um, I'll be there right away.
00:30:06Dr. Plummer also mentioned
00:30:08that you were
00:30:09no longer sporting
00:30:11your sleigh look.
00:30:14How I choose
00:30:14to present myself
00:30:17is not something
00:30:18that Roger
00:30:18has dominion over.
00:30:20Right.
00:30:21Where was it
00:30:22you walked?
00:30:23Oh, does it matter?
00:30:25Really,
00:30:26are all these questions
00:30:26necessary?
00:30:27Were you with anyone?
00:30:28Yes.
00:30:29I always walk
00:30:30with someone.
00:30:31Well, can you give us
00:30:31a name?
00:30:31God.
00:30:34I walk with God,
00:30:36a constant companion.
00:30:41If you have any
00:30:42further questions,
00:30:43I'll be at St. Judas.
00:30:48I have more questions
00:30:49than answers.
00:30:50God is my witness.
00:30:52Quite hard to argue
00:30:53with that though,
00:30:54isn't it?
00:30:56It's definitely flour,
00:30:57Mike.
00:30:58In her lungs?
00:30:59Yes.
00:31:01Well, she was
00:31:02an avid baker.
00:31:03No, no flour dust.
00:31:04Flour.
00:31:05Almost enough
00:31:06to make a small croissant,
00:31:07but you'll need
00:31:08to add some butter.
00:31:09Did she choke
00:31:10on the flour?
00:31:11She would have, yes.
00:31:12And did that kill her?
00:31:13No.
00:31:13She was strangled.
00:31:14But perhaps
00:31:15there was a struggle.
00:31:17Perhaps she fell
00:31:18into a flour sack.
00:31:20And there was this.
00:31:25This cut
00:31:26with no sign of healing.
00:31:28It occurred
00:31:28at the time of death.
00:31:31Correct.
00:31:32Which is quite interesting
00:31:33because the victim then
00:31:34applied a sticking plaster,
00:31:37which is not an easy thing
00:31:39to do
00:31:39when you are deceased.
00:31:41Fingerprints
00:31:42couldn't lift anything
00:31:43off of this
00:31:44if we could get a hold
00:31:45of the wrapper.
00:31:46If only.
00:31:57Zach, when you got home
00:31:58from your surf,
00:31:59this kitchen
00:32:00was definitely a mess?
00:32:01Yes.
00:32:03But when you arrived
00:32:04back from the cemetery...
00:32:05It was cleaned,
00:32:06just like it is.
00:32:07Huh.
00:32:116am.
00:32:13The victim
00:32:14was seen
00:32:14in the kitchen
00:32:15by her husband
00:32:16as he left for a surf.
00:32:18She was already
00:32:18prepping for the bake sale.
00:32:20Verity Larson
00:32:21says she left
00:32:21not long after.
00:32:22I left the house
00:32:23around 7.
00:32:24Isabel was still
00:32:25in the kitchen.
00:32:26Making like a maniac.
00:32:28Oh.
00:32:28No.
00:32:30But at 8.30am
00:32:33when Thelma Groves
00:32:35arrived to collect
00:32:36the Krogan bush,
00:32:37Isabel was nowhere
00:32:38to be seen.
00:32:39The kitchen, however,
00:32:40was still a bombsite.
00:32:42When we got there
00:32:43to talk to Canon Zach,
00:32:45the kitchen was clean.
00:32:46And the flower in her lungs
00:32:47meant she was most likely
00:32:48killed in her kitchen.
00:32:49So someone cleaned
00:32:51that kitchen
00:32:52to cover their tracks?
00:32:53Until proved otherwise, yes.
00:32:56And according to Canon Zach,
00:32:58any idea
00:32:59who might have done this?
00:33:01Verity, I guess.
00:33:02Is she here?
00:33:04She's out for a surf.
00:33:06Her best friend's wife
00:33:07had just been killed
00:33:08and she's out chasing waves
00:33:09for the second time that day.
00:33:11Classy.
00:33:29Detective,
00:33:30sorry to bother you.
00:33:31I've got a couple of questions
00:33:33in your mind.
00:33:34Sure.
00:33:37Thanks.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40I joined St. Judas
00:33:41about, I don't know,
00:33:43five months back.
00:33:45Answered an ad
00:33:46for the sexton job.
00:33:47You're not from Broganwood?
00:33:49From up north.
00:33:51I lost my wife
00:33:52four and a half years ago.
00:33:54I'm sorry to hear that.
00:33:56Life happens.
00:33:58But yeah,
00:33:58I had to leave
00:33:59all that behind.
00:34:01I certainly feel
00:34:01like I'm from Broganwood now.
00:34:03The man tells,
00:34:04they opened their house to me.
00:34:05And on the eighth day,
00:34:06God made lamb
00:34:07and manuka honey sausages,
00:34:08which was added by us.
00:34:10We'll get one each day.
00:34:12And Reverend Green
00:34:12was very welcoming.
00:34:14Pleased, I think.
00:34:16They had business
00:34:16with the Oates chap.
00:34:17Left him a little bit
00:34:18in the lurch.
00:34:19I warn you,
00:34:20things can be a bit
00:34:21quiet around here.
00:34:23Well,
00:34:23I guess that means
00:34:24more time for Bible study.
00:34:26Jolly good.
00:34:28Welcome to St. Judas.
00:34:30But with Gan and Zach
00:34:31making the place so popular,
00:34:32we've been rushed off our feet.
00:34:34You said you
00:34:35checked the cemetery
00:34:36this morning.
00:34:37Yeah,
00:34:38it was around 9.30.
00:34:40Just wanted to be sure
00:34:41there hadn't been
00:34:41any subsidence overnight.
00:34:47Then I headed to the service.
00:34:49And there was no sign
00:34:50of the deceased?
00:34:52I think I would have
00:34:53noticed something like that.
00:34:55Ken and Zach,
00:34:56he's putting on a brave face,
00:34:57but he's got to be torn apart.
00:35:01I know what it's like
00:35:02to lose your wife,
00:35:03but to be confronted
00:35:04by something like that...
00:35:06just wanted to make it.
00:35:10Yeah,
00:35:15and you guys are
00:35:15looking at the
00:35:16walking back,
00:35:17I'm sure the fact
00:35:18that I am
00:35:19beating myself,
00:35:20beating myself.
00:35:24On the five hundred
00:35:26With a one-track line
00:35:30I don't feel so lost
00:35:35Gotta feel so fine
00:35:38I don't feel so lost
00:35:43I don't seem so right
00:35:52I didn't clean the kitchen
00:35:54Any idea who did?
00:35:56I figured it was Isabel
00:35:58Where exactly were you again?
00:36:01Tahuna Point
00:36:02Many others surfing around you?
00:36:04No, I had a beach break to myself
00:36:06Came in, I was drying off
00:36:08I got a call from Zach
00:36:08I came straight back
00:36:09The place was clean
00:36:11Then you and your boss showed up
00:36:12So you left at seven and came back around?
00:36:17I don't know, then
00:36:19When they showed up
00:36:21Have you guys spoken to Reverend Green yet?
00:36:24What makes you think you would want
00:36:26Isabel Mantell dead?
00:36:28I think it might suit him
00:36:29Couldn't the same be said about you?
00:36:33What?
00:36:33Oh, come on, Verity
00:36:35Your relationship with Ken and Zach
00:36:37Is unusual, to say the least
00:36:39Borrowing a woman's husband
00:36:41On a regular basis
00:36:42Friends
00:36:44We're friends
00:36:45We went to school together
00:36:46We've stayed in touch, I told you
00:36:48How did Isabel feel about that?
00:36:50Good
00:36:50We were friends too
00:36:51Says her
00:36:52She did
00:36:54Well, we have a witness
00:36:55Who suggests the opposite
00:37:02She wasn't walking away from me
00:37:03Who then?
00:37:06Reverend Green
00:37:06If we listen, he speaks to us
00:37:09Why?
00:37:09She had issues
00:37:11With the way he lives his life
00:37:12That it wasn't fitting for the church
00:37:14What about Robbie?
00:37:16Robbie too
00:37:17That's why she wanted Zach
00:37:19To leave Brokenwood
00:37:20She saw St. Judas
00:37:22As this house
00:37:23Full of degenerates
00:37:25Was Ken and Zach
00:37:26Planning on leaving?
00:37:27Not that he wanted to
00:37:28He loves it here
00:37:31But she didn't
00:37:40Isabel Mantell wanted to leave Brokenwood
00:37:43And if that had happened
00:37:44Ken and Zach would have left too
00:37:45Which would have made a lot of people unhappy
00:37:48Aside from the entire Anglican parish
00:37:51All enamoured with his sermons
00:37:52Robbie, Nate, Thelma
00:37:55And the very Reverend Green
00:37:56Assuming everyone knew he was leaving
00:37:58Not forgetting Zach himself
00:38:03Thelma
00:38:04I thought you hard workers
00:38:05Might like something to go with your morning tea
00:38:07Oh, that's very kind of you
00:38:09Although not something we can accept
00:38:12But given that we have a few more questions
00:38:14Maybe we could make you a cuppa
00:38:16Well, a coffee would be nice
00:38:17I've been such a busy bee
00:38:19Sure, I'll make some
00:38:23Mrs. Graves, come through
00:38:28Gosh
00:38:29That's a
00:38:30That's interesting
00:38:32Did you put wasabi in that?
00:38:35No
00:38:36Oh
00:38:38Thelma
00:38:38Were you aware that Ken and Zach
00:38:40Was intending to leave St. Jonas?
00:38:42We heard the other night
00:38:43Yes
00:38:44Bit of a shock
00:38:45Was it common knowledge?
00:38:47I don't think so
00:38:47Only to those of us that were at the bake sale meeting
00:38:50Isabel
00:38:51I'd like to say
00:38:52On behalf of the committee
00:38:53Your contribution is truly over and above
00:38:58Thank you, Reverend
00:39:00Given we won't be here for next year
00:39:01As I felt I should make this one count
00:39:04Sorry?
00:39:05Oh, you're kidding
00:39:08Zach?
00:39:10Apologies
00:39:11I thought Zach had talked this through with you
00:39:14Not as yet, no
00:39:22Robbie walked out
00:39:23That's understandable
00:39:25He's been such a support to them
00:39:27Thelma, when you picked up the croquembouche
00:39:29Isabel's kitchen was as she left it?
00:39:32Quite a mess
00:39:33Dear
00:39:34It's very unlike her, really
00:39:38Do you recall seeing any blood
00:39:40Or perhaps a sticking plaster wrapper?
00:39:42No
00:39:43I was focused on the bouche
00:39:46Okay
00:39:47Well
00:39:47Thank you, sir
00:39:48But later I did see some blood when I cleaned up
00:39:52I thought it was a bit icky
00:39:53But you know, it's easy to nick a finger in the throes of baking
00:39:56Grating lemon rind
00:39:58Or slicing orange peel
00:40:00I don't recall a wrapper, though
00:40:05You cleaned the kitchen?
00:40:07Of course
00:40:11When I saw what had happened, I raced back to Canon Zach's house
00:40:18I'd seen the state of the place
00:40:23I knew he'd be having visitors
00:40:29What?
00:40:31And the back door was definitely unlocked
00:40:33I just came right in
00:40:35Sorry
00:40:37It's okay, Thelma
00:40:38That's very kind
00:40:39It is odd, though
00:40:40Isabel always locked the door
00:40:41But then I was in a hurry to get to the Sullivan funeral
00:40:44I guess I didn't bother to lock it
00:40:47Did you empty this after you finished cleaning?
00:40:49Well, I saw the burn on the street
00:40:51It was rubbish day yesterday
00:40:58Could we have a word?
00:41:00Yeah
00:41:04Zach, I understand your wife was not comfortable around Reverend Green's sexuality
00:41:10She was coming round
00:41:12Did that cause tensions between the two of you?
00:41:16You being a man of God
00:41:18Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened
00:41:22None of us are perfect, Detective
00:41:25Isabel was my wife
00:41:27Through thick and thin, for better for worse
00:41:28You said she always locked the door, why?
00:41:31Nothing to do with Brokenwood
00:41:33What about leaving Brokenwood?
00:41:36We have a witness that suggests Isabel wanted to leave
00:41:39Is that true?
00:41:41But it's time to start a family
00:41:43Well, what better place than Brokenwood?
00:41:44We have no family support here
00:41:46St. Judas is our family
00:41:47Real family
00:41:49Family we want our children raised by
00:41:51And influenced by
00:41:53For whoever does the will of God
00:41:55He is my brother and sister and mother
00:41:57Mark 3, 35
00:41:58Yes, I know my scriptures, Zach
00:41:59But there is something about this place that doesn't feel right
00:42:04I will reach out to the diocese
00:42:05See what's on offer
00:42:07Thank you
00:42:09Why hadn't you told Reverend Green of your intentions?
00:42:12We'll talk later
00:42:17I'm sorry
00:42:18I was about to tell you
00:42:22Is it about me?
00:42:24No
00:42:27Isabel
00:42:28I'm working on it
00:42:30Roger said the toupee was too much
00:42:33You can see I took his advice
00:42:36Too little, too late perhaps
00:42:38I thought
00:42:39I thought it looked pretty smart
00:42:45Is there anything we can do to keep you here?
00:42:48I wish
00:42:52Your talk with Reverend Green was the night before last?
00:42:55Right after the meeting, yes
00:42:57Zach?
00:42:59After Isabel made the news public?
00:43:02Yes
00:43:11Oh, sorry
00:43:12Cash only
00:43:13Oh
00:43:14Serif boss done?
00:43:15Yeah
00:43:15For good
00:43:15I can't wait to tell Robbie
00:43:18Robbie from St. Dudas?
00:43:20Uh-huh
00:43:22Why has it happened some meant to be meeting them here now?
00:43:24Oh, no way
00:43:24Awesome
00:43:25Is there a friend of yours?
00:43:26More than that
00:43:27I think she's the one
00:43:28There you go
00:43:29For the lovely lady
00:43:30Thanks
00:43:31Um, hey
00:43:32I actually identify as non-binary
00:43:35Okay, so, um
00:43:36Oh, yeah
00:43:37No, I get it
00:43:38I'm down with that
00:43:39Really?
00:43:40Yeah
00:43:40Yeah, totally get it
00:43:46She's non-binary
00:43:47So I understand
00:43:48Yeah, not into computers
00:43:50Which is hard, you know
00:43:51I mean, they're everywhere these days
00:43:52No, I think non-binary actually means
00:43:55Yeah, zero and one
00:43:56Everything in the computer is either a zero or a one
00:43:58It's called code
00:43:59She's just saying, I'm not having it
00:44:00And I support that
00:44:02They?
00:44:03They're not having it
00:44:04Totally
00:44:04All of them
00:44:05It's a whole movement
00:44:06So when she hears I've ditched computers too
00:44:08I think we'll get off based one
00:44:11Well, good luck with that, Frodo
00:44:12But I do need to speak with them first
00:44:14Stop
00:44:15All good
00:44:15I don't want you to think I'm too keen
00:44:18Robbie
00:44:19Hi
00:44:20Shall we?
00:44:21Yeah
00:44:28So what's this about?
00:44:30The other night you walked out of a meeting
00:44:33After Isabel Mantell announced that she and Zach were leaving Brokenwood
00:44:38Yeah
00:44:39Well, it's quite a statement
00:44:40Walking out
00:44:41It was a bit of a shock
00:44:43You don't want Ken and Zach to leave?
00:44:45No one does
00:44:46He doesn't want to
00:44:47Well, how do you know that?
00:44:48Well, he tells me stuff
00:44:49Did he tell you that?
00:44:51No
00:44:51But other stuff
00:44:54I know him well enough to know that he loves it here
00:44:56It makes this place fun
00:44:58Makes you feel like you have a home
00:45:00Yeah
00:45:02He doesn't question who I am or the way I am
00:45:06Do you have feelings for Ken and Zach?
00:45:11Doesn't everyone?
00:45:16I mean, I did for a bit
00:45:18But I was just being dumb
00:45:21And...
00:45:22And walk
00:45:25And he made it pretty clear that that wasn't going to be a thing
00:45:27And God knew that Moses could part that sea
00:45:30But Moses said, God, I'm freaking out here
00:45:32What if something goes wrong?
00:45:34I need you to know that I can't swim
00:45:36And God said, just chill, my man
00:45:39I know that as long as you have faith
00:45:41You'll be fine
00:45:43Whoa, no, Robbie
00:45:44No
00:45:46Sorry, you make me feel things
00:45:49That can't happen
00:45:50That can't happen
00:45:50Do you understand me?
00:45:53It's not your fault
00:45:54Trust me, it's not about you
00:45:59There was this young woman
00:46:01I'm not a woman
00:46:02No, I never said you were
00:46:05But she was
00:46:06Younger than you
00:46:07And she
00:46:09Got too close
00:46:11She mixed up the love of scripture with
00:46:13A different kind of love
00:46:15It made me feel very uncomfortable
00:46:18What was her name?
00:46:20Ellie
00:46:20And I don't want to go into the details
00:46:23But
00:46:24It ended badly
00:46:26Very, very badly
00:46:33Did he say anything else?
00:46:36No
00:46:37He didn't say exactly how old
00:46:39No, but
00:46:41It made me wonder
00:46:44Did
00:46:45Ken and Zach
00:46:46Do something inappropriate with a young girl?
00:46:49What?
00:46:50Ellie
00:46:51Never, ever
00:46:52Say that name
00:46:53Understood
00:46:56You have no idea
00:46:59And would it kill you
00:47:00To wear a pretty dress
00:47:01Just once in a while?
00:47:07Did you ever tell Zach about that?
00:47:09No
00:47:10That must have
00:47:11Made you pretty angry, huh?
00:47:15The morning that
00:47:16Mrs Mantell was killed
00:47:17You showed up to the church
00:47:19Late for the Sullivan funeral
00:47:21Where'd you been?
00:47:24I do need to know where you were
00:47:26Why?
00:47:28So I can remove you from our inquiry
00:47:33Well, I was giving in to the guilt trip
00:47:37I was in the church hall
00:47:38In the kitchen
00:47:40Baking to save my ass
00:47:43Baking two banana cakes
00:47:45And I can barely make one
00:47:49I didn't want to get another slap
00:47:51Did I?
00:47:52More coffee, ladies?
00:47:54No, not for me, thanks, Frodo
00:47:56I like your t-shirt
00:47:56Oh
00:47:58Yeah
00:47:58I got it made
00:47:59Original design
00:48:00Sweet
00:48:01What does it mean?
00:48:03Thanks, Robbie
00:48:08Mike
00:48:09Possible new development
00:48:11Luminol test came back positive
00:48:13A few spots on the floor
00:48:15By the main bench
00:48:16And by the refrigerator
00:48:18On top of the fridges
00:48:19Where the first aid kit is kept
00:48:21If you've just killed someone
00:48:22Why put a plaster on?
00:48:24Trying to make it all better
00:48:26This was a murder
00:48:28That wasn't meant to leave bloodstains
00:48:29They were covering their tracks
00:48:32And what about this alley?
00:48:34Hmm
00:48:36Your witness, Robbie
00:48:37Reliable, do you think?
00:48:39Well, if they did kill Isabelle
00:48:41I don't know why they'd offer up a motive
00:48:42Are we suggesting there was some sort of
00:48:44Historical abuse?
00:48:46And then the church sent them off to Brokenwood
00:48:49Perhaps Canon Sack has something on his record
00:48:51Well, if so, why would Reverend Green hire him?
00:48:55To get into his pants, right?
00:48:57Talk to the Reverend
00:48:58But be discreet
00:48:59This could all just be hearsay
00:49:01And anyone else with close ties
00:49:04To Zach Mantell
00:49:21Please, come in
00:49:28How can I help?
00:49:31Uh, this is a delicate matter
00:49:34Do you know of any complaints laid against Canon Sack
00:49:38In relation to inappropriate behaviour
00:49:41Around younger people?
00:49:44You mean?
00:49:46Oh, no
00:49:47Good heavens no
00:49:48Why would you even ask that?
00:49:50We're looking for any background
00:49:51That might explain
00:49:53Mrs. Mantell being targeted
00:49:54I see
00:49:55I see
00:49:57Well, I can assure you that
00:49:59Canon Sack is a priest highly revered
00:50:01In the diocese
00:50:04The name Ali
00:50:05Does that mean anything to you?
00:50:07Ali?
00:50:09No
00:50:12So, Canon Sack never mentioned anything?
00:50:15No
00:50:19I can ask him if you like
00:50:22We'll take care of it
00:50:23Thanks for your time
00:50:25Of course
00:50:40Dr. Plummer?
00:50:42I have information
00:50:43But Lucas can't know we're talking
00:50:44Could we meet this evening?
00:50:46Lucas has evensong
00:50:47Sure
00:50:47Everything all right?
00:50:49Yes, yes
00:50:49Go, please
00:50:55Lime and soda
00:50:57Thanks, Lena
00:50:57If you want any vodka in it
00:50:59Just let me know
00:51:00I won't charge you again for the soda
00:51:02I'm working
00:51:02Sure, but
00:51:03I know sometimes with the stress of the job
00:51:05Thanks, Lena
00:51:11Oh
00:51:13Sorry to drag you away from the surf
00:51:15Oh, I wasn't surfing
00:51:16It was with Zach
00:51:18Why didn't you go surfing with Zach yesterday morning?
00:51:20He wanted to be alone
00:51:22Did he say why?
00:51:24So he could kill his wife
00:51:26A simple question
00:51:29He wanted to work on his sermon
00:51:31Sometimes he likes to go surfing with his thoughts
00:51:33If he needed space, I let him have it
00:51:36So, on the one morning his wife was killed
00:51:38You both just happened to be in remote places
00:51:40With no witnesses
00:51:42Whoever killed Isabel did it while we were out
00:51:45If we'd been together or not
00:51:46It would have made no difference
00:51:48We weren't there to stop it
00:51:52Does the name Ellie mean anything to you?
00:51:56It meant a lot more to Isabel
00:52:01Attacked?
00:52:02That's what she said
00:52:03It was a home invasion
00:52:06She wasn't hurt
00:52:07But she was shaken up
00:52:08Was it reported to police?
00:52:10I don't know
00:52:11I wasn't around at the time
00:52:13I was in Bali surfing
00:52:14But she was attacked by someone named Ellie
00:52:19Zach sent me a text
00:52:20He didn't go into detail
00:52:23But it's the reason she always locked her doors
00:52:26I'll make some inquiries
00:52:28If the door was locked
00:52:29It means the offender either had a key
00:52:31Or Mrs. Mantau opened the door to them
00:52:33Sometime between 7 and 8.30am
00:52:36Suggesting that the offender was known to her
00:52:38Which doesn't narrow it down much
00:52:57Quiet night's ready
00:52:58Don't get me started
00:52:59Well it was real busy before
00:53:01But then
00:53:02You know
00:53:03What?
00:53:06Even song
00:53:07Hi everyone
00:53:09It's that time
00:53:13Excuse me
00:53:15Everybody
00:53:18They all go to church for even song
00:53:20That's where they'll be now
00:53:21Your peace reigns over us
00:53:26Your peace shines down on us
00:53:32Oh Lord
00:53:40All denominations are welcome here
00:53:42Christians
00:53:42Jews
00:53:43I welcome Muslims
00:53:45But they don't drink
00:53:46Mormons
00:53:47Not great for business either
00:53:49The Croc and Panther
00:53:50Is essentially the United Nations
00:53:51Come in
00:53:52Bring your differences
00:53:53Share your thoughts
00:53:54But for God's sake
00:53:56Do it over a beer
00:53:57And don't even get me started
00:53:59On what St. Judas has done
00:54:00To the bingo night
00:54:03It's kind of personal
00:54:05For her
00:54:05All the ones
00:54:07Legs 11
00:54:12All the nines
00:54:1499
00:54:15Bingo
00:54:22Congratulations
00:54:23I won
00:54:24It was touch and go there
00:54:26For a while
00:54:26No
00:54:27You have no competition
00:54:28But wasn't it nice
00:54:29To spend quality time together
00:54:33Say hi to Ray
00:54:34See you soon
00:54:37That's the thing
00:54:38Ken and Zach comes to town
00:54:40The world turns upside down
00:54:41But then he is kind of cute
00:54:43Right?
00:54:44For a priest
00:54:45I mean not as cute as Chad
00:54:46But a lot of people say
00:54:47He's quite hot
00:54:48Obviously his wife couldn't cope
00:54:49You know
00:54:50Okay let's just
00:54:52For the record
00:54:53Lena
00:54:54Mrs. Mantell
00:54:54Didn't take her own life
00:54:57No way
00:54:58You mean
00:54:58What?
00:55:00Are you saying
00:55:01She was killed
00:55:01By someone else?
00:55:02We're treating her death
00:55:03As unexplained
00:55:05Which means
00:55:05Someone else
00:55:07Could have killed her
00:55:08Well
00:55:09Yeah
00:55:10There's a word for that
00:55:12You know
00:55:12There is
00:55:14Homicide
00:55:15Good to know
00:55:16Lena
00:55:17Thank you
00:55:17Good
00:55:23I'd like to keep this discreet
00:55:24If you don't mind
00:55:25Oh you picked the right punk
00:55:31As much as it pains me to say it
00:55:33I overheard Lucas having a conversation
00:55:35With another man
00:55:37I'll see you next Thursday
00:55:38And we'll talk more about microdosing
00:55:39Thanks
00:55:40Bye
00:55:43They're asking questions about
00:55:44Where I was
00:55:45And if I was with anyone
00:55:47But what happened between us
00:55:48It's not material to the issue
00:55:52Oh because
00:55:54My marriage might not
00:55:55Sustain that kind of
00:55:56Scrutiny
00:55:59Yes
00:55:59Yes
00:55:59All right
00:56:06Any idea who he was talking to?
00:56:09I know exactly who it was
00:56:22I confronted him
00:56:23And he got quite terse
00:56:25Going through my phone
00:56:26Roger
00:56:26What possessed you to do this?
00:56:27Your behavior
00:56:27Look at yourself
00:56:28We're wearing that ridiculous thing again
00:56:29Oh it's not what you think
00:56:30What is it?
00:56:32As I said
00:56:32It's not what you think
00:56:34And I expect an apology from you
00:56:35For assuming otherwise
00:56:36Everyone's asking questions Lucas
00:56:37A woman has died
00:56:39Let he who is without sin
00:56:41Cast the first stone
00:56:46It's not what I think
00:56:47What am I supposed to think?
00:56:49And this
00:56:50This contained my case file
00:56:52That I retrieved from my car
00:56:57Is it?
00:56:58Bloodstains
00:56:59I'm sure of it
00:57:03Cold river
00:57:06Find me
00:57:08Cold river
00:57:11Run inside
00:57:13Cold river
00:57:16Blind me
00:57:18Cold river
00:57:21Be less true
00:57:23Cold river
00:57:46I can't keep it a secret any longer Lucas
00:58:00Cold river
00:58:00I can't keep it a secret any longer Lucas
00:58:16I can't keep it a secret any longer Lucas
00:58:17I can't keep it a secret any longer Lucas
00:58:20Well?
00:58:21Well it's a deep hole from which to draw water
00:58:26Blood type
00:58:27Dina
00:58:29A positive
00:58:30And the victims
00:58:31Also A positive
00:58:39Yes
00:58:40Thank you
00:58:45There was the police
00:58:46They would like you to go down to the station
00:58:48Oh dear
00:58:48I suggest you take off that ridiculous wig once and for all
00:58:52If you want any chance of mercy
00:58:54Roger
00:58:54Honestly Lucas
00:58:55Enough of this misaligned vanity
00:58:58It's not vanity
00:58:58It is not vanity
00:59:01Then what is it Lucas?
00:59:05Please
00:59:13Zach's at the church
00:59:14Making plans for Izzy's funeral
00:59:20I don't know what you're hoping to find
00:59:22The place was cleaned, right?
00:59:26Right
00:59:55We have Reverend Green coming in
00:59:57The same blood type but not a match yet?
01:00:00Not yet, we're still waiting on the DNA results
01:00:02Good
01:00:02We should know something by Christmas
01:00:04There are plaster wrappers with prints
01:00:06Hoping they can lift something off it
01:00:08Okay
01:00:09Good work
01:00:14Senior
01:00:15The report you're after
01:00:16Oh, thanks
01:00:42It seems I have some explaining
01:00:44Would you like me to sit in?
01:00:48I think it would be easy without you
01:00:50If you don't mind
01:00:52I'll be waiting
01:00:57On the morning in question
01:00:58I did go for a walk
01:01:00But it was on the beach
01:01:03I had to drive to get there
01:01:05Which is not something that comes naturally
01:01:06He said
01:01:07But it was too far to take the bike
01:01:15And I had a special cargo
01:01:19An 11-foot dunger
01:01:21Circa 1973
01:01:23An heirloom
01:01:24It belonged to my Uncle Cecil
01:01:26He passed it on to me when he died
01:01:28He'd been gathering dust for 30 years
01:01:31And there was Zach
01:01:34Such an athlete
01:01:35On the waves
01:01:37And in the pulpit
01:01:41I've no idea what possessed
01:01:43Some kind of urge
01:01:45No
01:01:47Raging desire
01:01:48To be connected with Zach
01:01:51To be seen, I suppose
01:01:55I wanted him to see me
01:01:58So, the next day
01:01:59God said, cool
01:02:00Let's get rid of the rock
01:02:03This is
01:02:05Here God
01:02:07Hello, how's Zach?
01:02:09Lovely morning, Forrest
01:02:10The Reverend
01:02:12I had no idea you
01:02:14Oh, um
01:02:15It's been a while
01:02:16But I'm not a total stranger
01:02:18To hanging ten
01:02:19Always loved the beach boys
01:02:21Well
01:02:22Go you
01:02:24Yes
01:02:27Boggyboarding was the extent of it
01:02:29But I thought
01:02:29How hard can the real thing be?
01:02:32Pride goes before a fall
01:02:34Um
01:02:36Do you like another wave?
01:02:37I have the funeral
01:02:39Ah, yes
01:02:39Fred Sullivan
01:02:40Of course
01:02:42Perhaps another day then
01:02:43Sure
01:02:44Yeah
01:02:45It's a pretty big swell out there today
01:02:51Yes
01:02:52Quite awesome
01:02:56Well
01:02:57Best I get in amongst it then
01:02:59Cheers, eh?
01:03:00Take it easy, Lucas
01:03:01Tally-ho!
01:03:16Reverend?
01:03:18Reverend?
01:03:20There you are
01:03:22You're back, bro
01:03:23That's good
01:03:23You had me worried there
01:03:25You blacked out, buddy
01:03:26I'm gonna call an ambulance, okay?
01:03:27No, no, no, no
01:03:29Please, I can manage
01:03:30We need to get you checked out
01:03:31No, no, no
01:03:33I'm trying to scratch
01:03:34Um
01:03:35There's, uh
01:03:36There's a fair bit of blood
01:03:37No, Hunter
01:03:39Seriously?
01:03:41No, Hunter
01:03:45Other than
01:03:49You look such an old fool
01:03:51Hey
01:03:51It's okay, Lucas
01:03:54It's okay
01:03:58I don't want you to go
01:04:00Well
01:04:00Mr. Sullivan won't bury himself
01:04:05No
01:04:06I don't want you to leave Brokenwood
01:04:09Lucas
01:04:12I thought
01:04:13That I could somehow chance you mind
01:04:15If we became
01:04:17Surfing buddies
01:04:21You know why I have to leave
01:04:25Not a word to another soul
01:04:26If this unraveled
01:04:28I fear I could be
01:04:29Defrocked for
01:04:31Well, let's face it
01:04:32Inappropriate workplace actions
01:04:35I've had
01:04:36Difficult thoughts
01:04:41Could you
01:04:42Speak to our saviour about them?
01:04:45I'm not sure I listened
01:04:47Then from now on
01:04:48Take heed
01:04:49You may advise
01:04:50I'm not such a long board
01:04:51Next time
01:04:53It won't be here next time
01:04:56Are you sure you're okay?
01:04:59I like some wounded pride
01:05:01You and me?
01:05:02Mm-hmm
01:05:03I think we should
01:05:05Yes?
01:05:06Pray
01:05:08Let's pray
01:05:11Like that
01:05:14Dear Lord
01:05:16Look after my friend Lucas here
01:05:19That he may find comfort
01:05:20In your arms
01:05:22Your arms that are bigger than mine
01:05:25Bigger and all-encompassing
01:05:27That they make him feel secure
01:05:29And that you are listening
01:05:32And giving him good advice
01:05:34On appropriate surf breaks
01:05:35In the times ahead
01:05:38I'm in
01:05:41Thanks, Zach
01:05:46I'm going to sit with our saviour a little longer
01:05:50I'll catch you later, Lucas
01:05:52And Zach
01:05:54Not a word
01:06:06It was as if that
01:06:08Wretched board had knocked some sense into him
01:06:22I knew Roger wouldn't be pleased
01:06:24But I felt I didn't have any choice
01:06:34I thought I should carry on
01:06:36As if nothing had happened
01:06:41We will need to
01:06:42Verify your story
01:06:44Of course
01:06:55Sometimes the cover-up
01:06:56Is worse than the crime
01:07:03Chimi
01:07:06Is that
01:07:09The truth
01:07:10Of course
01:07:11You, prince
01:07:11The first
01:07:14In your
01:07:15Jahren
01:07:17The
01:07:18Your
01:07:18The
01:07:19The
01:07:20The
01:07:21The
01:07:21The
01:07:22The
01:07:23The
01:07:23The
01:07:23The
01:07:23The
01:07:23The
01:07:23The
01:07:23Do
01:07:27The
01:07:28The
01:07:36I'll try to have to serve this.
01:07:40Lucas, please.
01:08:01You all right?
01:08:02Yeah, dust, I think. Just a bit of dust.
01:08:05What's that?
01:08:06Dr Plummer serenading the very Reverend Green in our car park with an aria from Puccini.
01:08:11Yeah.
01:08:11I thought so. Because...
01:08:13Reverend Green and Ken and Zach were both at the beach.
01:08:19Neither had time to deal to our victim.
01:08:21Hmm. That makes sense.
01:08:28A new suspect?
01:08:29The ghost that's been haunting Zach Mantell.
01:08:43Detective! Just off for a surf.
01:08:45Verity's managed to rouse me from my despair.
01:08:47I'm pleased to hear that, but I do need a word.
01:08:50Well, you go on ahead.
01:08:51I think it will be good if Verity stayed.
01:08:54Sure. Yeah.
01:08:57Ellie Wilsford.
01:09:00Gosh. That's a name from the past.
01:09:04By my understanding, it's been five years.
01:09:07Ellie. She was a parishioner at St Edwin's in the city.
01:09:11She took her own life. It was very sad.
01:09:14How would you describe her relationship to you?
01:09:18She came to church.
01:09:20She was so enthralled with the scripture for someone so young.
01:09:23And she seemed to respond to the way I shared it with her.
01:09:26Then Jesus takes these loaves, and there's only five of them, right?
01:09:28And basically turns them into sliced bread, enough to feed a whole tribe of 5,000.
01:09:33And then he does the same with only two fish.
01:09:35Oh my God. I love fish.
01:09:37Well, then, by extension, you love Jesus.
01:09:40And, of course, he loves you.
01:09:43Loving God, it's not hard, Ellie.
01:09:47Her devotion was pure and simple.
01:09:49She was a very sweet person looking for answers.
01:09:52And I was a relatively new priest looking for solutions.
01:09:56Maybe I, um, maybe I gave too much.
01:10:03Was there anything else to your friendship?
01:10:11One day she was found hanging in a park.
01:10:16She was in love with you.
01:10:18What does that really mean?
01:10:19She was troubled in a way that I didn't understand.
01:10:23She was lost.
01:10:25And I tried to help her, but in the end I didn't.
01:10:28How did you try to help her?
01:10:30I asked her to trust in God.
01:10:33But she wasn't ready.
01:10:34I feel like I can only love God by loving you.
01:10:42I can try to show you the way, but I am not the way.
01:10:46But I'm in love with you.
01:10:49Ellie.
01:10:50I am.
01:10:51I know I am.
01:10:53It was like something just didn't compute.
01:10:55I did nothing wrong.
01:10:58She tried to kill Isabel.
01:11:00She attacked my wife.
01:11:02I read the report.
01:11:04Not long after, Ellie hanged herself.
01:11:07We had to leave town.
01:11:09To get away from all the conjecture.
01:11:11But I will say this.
01:11:13Isabel never once questioned my involvement with Ellie.
01:11:17Never doubted me.
01:11:18Neither did I.
01:11:20Zach's not like that.
01:11:21He's not.
01:11:23I imagine that when you saw Isabel at the cemetery that morning.
01:11:28Why, Isabel, all the ways.
01:11:31It was like the ghost of Ellie Wellsford had possessed Isabel.
01:11:35Did you ever speak to Ellie's parents?
01:11:38They were overseas when it happened.
01:11:40And by the time they got back, we had already left town.
01:11:42Well, you both tried hard to forget about what had happened.
01:11:48Her mother died not long after losing her daughter.
01:11:52An aneurysm.
01:11:53Stress related, it was thought.
01:11:56Okay.
01:11:57I didn't know that.
01:12:00A poor father.
01:12:03Imagine losing a daughter and a wife in quick succession.
01:12:06It's brutal.
01:12:10A loss like that can manifest itself in different ways.
01:12:14For some, they might give up and choose a path to self-destruction.
01:12:19Drink drugs.
01:12:21Others might turn to the church on a journey to understand forgiveness.
01:12:27Ellie's father chose a variation.
01:12:29Ken and Zach, he's putting on a brave face, but he's got to be torn apart.
01:12:33I know what it's like to lose your wife.
01:12:37Nathan?
01:12:39You mean Nathan Ford?
01:12:41Otherwise known as Nathan Wellsford.
01:12:46He moved here not long after you, when the sextant position came up.
01:12:51Welcome to Sagittarius.
01:12:52It was clear that he came here to avenge the death of his daughter.
01:12:56Sharing your space, biding his time.
01:12:59He became acquainted with your movements.
01:13:09Isabel had no reason to think that anything was awry.
01:13:13No reason not to let him in.
01:13:18He was in my house.
01:13:20He's going to answer for all of that.
01:13:23He was in my house.
01:13:26It's safer.
01:13:27It's safer.
01:13:34Tell me you got a head off the wrapper.
01:13:36We did.
01:13:36On Nate Ford.
01:13:38A.K.A. Nathan Wellsford.
01:13:40What's about the same?
01:13:41I'm bringing him in.
01:13:41Do you want a hand?
01:13:43I'll be fine.
01:13:46Give him his moment.
01:14:11When you're done, Nathan.
01:14:15A.K.A. Nathan Wellsford.
01:14:16A.K.A. Nathan Wellsford.
01:14:17A.K.A. Nathan Wellsford.
01:14:18Birds love them.
01:14:20It was Ellie's favourite.
01:14:23We need to head down to the station.
01:14:36I'll wash my hands
01:14:43In the end, I knew you'd come
01:14:45It's all good
01:14:47At least I could finally lay her to rest, you know
01:14:55Let's go, Nate
01:15:06Oh, damn
01:15:08Nate, get out of the car
01:15:10Nate
01:15:13No, you don't
01:15:14Nate, get out of the car
01:15:16Nate
01:15:37We can still both walk away at this point, Nathan
01:15:42No one's asking you to stay
01:15:45There's no need to make things worse
01:15:51Tell me about her
01:15:53Let me know what she was like
01:15:54Keep her memory alive
01:15:57Memories are important, Nate
01:16:01My second wife
01:16:03She was 28
01:16:06Her car went into a river
01:16:09She didn't come out
01:16:11Took me a long time to learn how to remember her best
01:16:15To forget the tragedy
01:16:16And remember her essence
01:16:21The thing that made me love her
01:16:27Ellie was only 19
01:16:3119 years old, for God's sake
01:16:33It's nothing
01:16:36He was a young priest full of the power of God
01:16:38And miracles
01:16:40The way, the truth, and the life
01:16:43Flirting with the power that gave him
01:16:46And flirting with her, no doubt
01:16:47He says that wasn't the case
01:16:49Of course he'd say that
01:16:50Ellie fell in love with him
01:16:52Do you know what he told her?
01:16:55Trust in God
01:16:57Listen, and he will speak to you
01:16:58And guide you
01:17:00And give you all the information you need
01:17:02To do what you need to do
01:17:05She was sick
01:17:09But he didn't see it
01:17:11She heard what she wanted to hear
01:17:24You
01:17:28I hate you!
01:17:29It wasn't hers
01:17:30It was some kind of evil force
01:17:34But what happened next
01:17:35That was the true evil
01:17:41You can't know what happened next
01:17:43Come on, detective
01:17:44There was enough doubt in the coroner's report
01:17:46I read it over a hundred times
01:17:48It's not possible to know
01:17:49The injuries from the fight
01:17:51Led to the death of Miss Wellsford
01:17:56We're overseas
01:18:00There's no one there for her
01:18:11There were contusions on her throat
01:18:13Not matching the ligature from the hanging
01:18:16Isabel Mantel
01:18:18Killed my little girl
01:18:19And covered it up
01:18:21By hanging her in a joint
01:18:25You don't know that, Nathan
01:18:32An eye for an eye
01:18:35That's all
01:18:40Mike, did you locate Nathan Ford?
01:18:44We have a bit of a situation here
01:18:46What kind of situation?
01:18:49A situation that needs to be resolved
01:18:52You like stating the bloody obvious to you?
01:18:55I was just thinking
01:18:57Lambie Point
01:18:58It's not where I imagined he'd be my days
01:19:01He's not talking to us
01:19:06Get out of the car, man
01:19:08I'm not leaving the car without you, mate
01:19:13Put out a 10-1
01:19:14And get units to Lambie Point
01:19:23She didn't suspect a thing
01:19:28Who is it?
01:19:30It's Nate
01:19:35Nate?
01:19:36I wasn't expecting you
01:19:38They almost thought you'd like a hand
01:19:39How kind
01:19:40Come on in
01:19:41Thanks
01:19:47What can I do?
01:19:47I was thinking an extra batch of scones
01:19:49Always keen to learn a new trick
01:19:51Good for you, Nate
01:20:01This is for me
01:20:05My sweet food, Alex
01:20:07What do you think?
01:20:22I'm sorry
01:20:27I'm sorry
01:20:28I'm sorry
01:20:28But you're like
01:20:28To my aand
01:20:28OK
01:20:34Sigh
01:20:35Brownie plug
01:20:35Such a fight
01:20:35Such a fight
01:20:59I felt like justice was done.
01:21:05You'll take that with me.
01:21:14What have you been up to?
01:21:18Whoa, easy, Nate!
01:21:19Get out!
01:21:20Now!
01:21:20I don't need to do this!
01:21:21No more talking!
01:21:22It's a long way down.
01:21:24Tell them to back off or we go.
01:21:26Come on, Nate!
01:21:28Wait!
01:21:28Just wait!
01:21:30I'll talk to them!
01:21:37Hey, Mike!
01:21:39Hi there!
01:21:41Are you able to get out of the car?
01:21:43I am.
01:21:45Okay, is there any reason why you're not?
01:21:48Nathan here.
01:21:49Just needs a little bit more time to reflect on me.
01:21:51Tell him to get out!
01:21:53Hey there, Nathan!
01:21:57I'm going over.
01:21:59Tell him to get out of the car!
01:22:03Mike, you know Nathan might have a point there.
01:22:07But, as I just explained to Nate, this is my car, and as such, driving my car over a cliff
01:22:13is not in my car's best interest.
01:22:15It's just a car, Mike.
01:22:17Is it though?
01:22:18Really?
01:22:18It really is.
01:22:20Fuck!
01:22:21Nathan, just hold that thought.
01:22:23We're stepping back.
01:22:24It's all good here.
01:22:32I have no interest in going to jail.
01:22:35I can see that.
01:22:37Let's just breathe out, okay?
01:22:57You good?
01:22:58Sit.
01:23:00I only have one piece of advice.
01:23:02You guess, don't screw this up?
01:23:04Yep.
01:23:10What's he want?
01:23:12He's spring house water.
01:23:14I didn't ask for any.
01:23:14All part of the service.
01:23:17Tell him to leave them at your door.
01:23:21Leave them by my door.
01:23:23Any idea when you chaps might wind this up?
01:23:26You buggers, clear off!
01:23:28It seems like, as long as I stay in the car, Nathan's not going anywhere.
01:23:34The team would like to go home.
01:23:36We'd like to tie things off.
01:23:40Well, that's entirely up to Nathan here.
01:23:44Get out of the car.
01:23:46You can all go home.
01:23:48Firsty work.
01:23:49All her thinking.
01:23:53No!
01:23:54No!
01:23:54No!
01:23:55No!
01:24:05Not today, Nathan.
01:24:08Not today.
01:24:12Let me go!
01:24:14Let me go!
01:24:18Oh, my God.
01:24:18I almost hugged you.
01:24:19Oh, it's okay.
01:24:21Thanks.
01:24:28You didn't bend the chassis, did you?
01:24:30Honestly, Mike, that's all I was worried about.
01:24:32So, no.
01:24:33It's a relief.
01:24:36We should probably write up a report.
01:24:40Hey, the next time you say, I'll be fine, did you actually mean it?
01:24:44I was fine.
01:24:45That's what that was, was it?
01:24:47Just admiring the view, were you?
01:24:49Huh.
01:24:55Winter is often a time of reflection.
01:25:00And, of course, a time for the restoration of our natural order.
01:25:05Restoring our faith in each other.
01:25:09And, of course, in God, the great shepherd, watching over us.
01:25:14Hanging with his sheep.
01:25:16An occasional goat.
01:25:18Guiding us to safer pastures.
01:25:22Not necessarily greener fields.
01:25:25Because, as the saying goes, the grass is not always greener on the other side.
01:25:32Especially if you're an old goat suffering from a temporary bout of colour blends.
01:25:40Let us sing, Jesus, look over me.
01:25:47Jesus, look over me.
01:25:52Jesus, look over me.
01:25:53When I hold your name.
01:25:58Jesus, look over me.
01:26:01When I kneel before you.
01:26:08Jesus, look over me.
01:26:13Jesus, look over me.
01:26:23When I kneel before you.
