Transcript
00:00:27Hey!
00:00:29Dude!
00:00:29Dude!
00:00:30Come on!
00:00:30You can't lie on the field where you're blocking the-
00:00:33No way!
00:00:42What the hell?
00:00:43Come on!
00:00:56Blood force trauma.
00:01:01Hey, Todd.
00:01:02You alright?
00:01:03You wanna sit down for a minute?
00:01:04The circle.
00:01:05A crop circle.
00:01:06What did you say?
00:01:08Aliens made it. Crop circle.
00:01:09Jacob's lying in the centre of an alien crop circle, but in grass, not crop.
00:01:13You know this person?
00:01:15Nah. Well, only that his name's Jacob. He runs Jacob's Burgers in town.
00:01:19In the circle, what makes you think it's alien made?
00:01:22Because there's an alien that people do can meet in town,
00:01:24and now he's lying dead in the centre of an alien crop circle.
00:01:27Back home, many people are founded on crop circles, but we call them spirit circles.
00:01:32Because spirits rather than aliens made them?
00:01:35No. Because they died from overconsumption of vodka.
00:01:39They pickled their livers. Of course.
00:01:43Is this your boy, Todd?
00:01:45Ah, yeah, yeah, it is.
00:01:46And where were you when you hit this?
00:01:49You think my boy killed Jacob?
00:01:51It's possible.
00:01:51Nah. They came before me.
00:01:53Who's that?
00:01:54Aliens. He's dead centre. Dead in a crop circle.
00:01:57Hey, Todd. Are you high?
00:01:59No. I've told you. I don't smoke that stuff anymore,
00:02:02except that one time that I completely forgot about until you just triggered me.
00:02:04Okay, Todd. What's with all the alien stuff?
00:02:07One more evidence, do you want?
00:02:09He's dead in a crop circle.
00:02:10Crop circle. Okay, we got it.
00:02:16Can I go?
00:02:17What's so important?
00:02:18I'm training for speed golf. Every four hours I've done nine holes.
00:02:21I've got the last ones going.
00:02:22Speed golf?
00:02:23Yeah. Three clubs, one ball. Fast as you can.
00:02:26It's for my niece's school fundraiser.
00:02:28So this alien convention, where is it?
00:02:30At the croc. I've got to go.
00:02:32My ball?
00:02:33No.
00:02:40Hi, Jacob.
00:02:42You seem to have come unstuck on the 13th hole.
00:02:47Truly unlucky for some.
00:02:52Gina, safe to say that the victim died from his head injury?
00:02:55Nothing is safe, Mike.
00:02:57Not when he's lying in a circle of death.
00:02:59Best we get a grass sample.
00:03:00Michael, I am a pathologist, not a greenkeeper.
00:03:04Unless the possible link surrounding his cause of death and any chemical compound found on vegetation.
00:03:10Certainly, Mike.
00:03:12Good thinking.
00:03:15Well, I need a coffee.
00:03:17I need a coffee.
00:03:21Well, I am sorry.
00:03:34Good thing.
00:03:44I am sorry.
00:03:47His name is Elfie Gingernuts.
00:03:51You have a pig.
00:03:52He's not a dolphin, is he?
00:03:54Well, it's just a pig on a golf course.
00:03:57It's not what you'd expect, that's all.
00:03:58Well, he's a guard pig.
00:04:01People who tell you that dog is a man's best friend
00:04:03have never felt the love of a pig.
00:04:04And I don't mean my ex-husband when I say that.
00:04:08Cop, are you?
00:04:10DC Chalmers, Brokenwood CIB.
00:04:11I'd like to ask you a few questions
00:04:13regarding this morning's incident.
00:04:15Grim.
00:04:16Janet Grim.
00:04:19You'd better come in.
00:04:24How did you know Jacob Lewis?
00:04:26He'd be here about three times a week.
00:04:28Usually, first thing.
00:04:30But not to play golf.
00:04:31Why do you say that?
00:04:32Because he didn't have any golf clubs with him.
00:04:36Never played golf.
00:04:37He isn't a member.
00:04:38Did you see him this morning?
00:04:40No, I didn't see him.
00:04:43What did he do here?
00:04:44Good question.
00:04:46I used to ask him.
00:04:47He'd say he was going for a walk.
00:04:48He'd be hanging out in the trees.
00:04:51The other members used to complain about him lurking.
00:04:53There he was.
00:04:54He was a voyeur of sorts.
00:04:56A golf voyeur?
00:04:58Weird, eh?
00:04:59Most people watch it on TV.
00:05:02Then again, he's a chef.
00:05:04Oh, he says he's a chef.
00:05:06Gourmet burgers, really?
00:05:08Most chefs are a bit weird.
00:05:10You have a greenkeeper?
00:05:12Natasha.
00:05:13Best in the biz.
00:05:14Okay.
00:05:15Thanks for your help.
00:05:16And the 13th Fairway will have to stay closed for a while.
00:05:28I didn't expect you two to be UFO aficionados.
00:05:32It's always good to keep an open mind.
00:05:34Bad one about Jacob Lewis.
00:05:35Wow.
00:05:36Word spreads fast around here.
00:05:39Thanks, Frodes.
00:05:40Put it on the tab.
00:05:41Inspector?
00:05:43Detective Senior Sergeant, actually.
00:05:45Mike Sheppard.
00:05:47Detective Kristen Simms, broker with CIB.
00:05:49Zelda Belfand, president of Aliens Are People 2.
00:05:52Arpt.
00:05:53Arpt?
00:05:54Yes.
00:05:55And I believe I can help you with your investigation.
00:05:57You have some information?
00:05:59From the account that I've been given,
00:06:00it sounds very much like a failed alien induction.
00:06:03The human body found at the dead center of the crop circle is the tell.
00:06:07Well, at this stage, it's still too early to conclude
00:06:10whether or not the circle is, in fact, a crop circle.
00:06:13But most likely, for sure.
00:06:16Oh, sorry, how rude of me.
00:06:18This is Christopher, a fellow member of art.
00:06:21Christopher Kramer.
00:06:22Yeah, we've met.
00:06:23Oh, I don't think so.
00:06:25It was a few years ago, with regards to the Dishler clinic.
00:06:29Nope, I can't say I recall.
00:06:32Well, it was a long time ago.
00:06:34Christopher.
00:06:35Maybe that does vibrate a faint frequency,
00:06:37but the more important thing is you understand who you're in the company of.
00:06:40Now, if you need expert advice on alien abduction,
00:06:43Zelda's our guiding light on anything extraterrestrial.
00:06:46Oh, Christopher, please.
00:06:48Tell them.
00:06:48Go on.
00:06:49It was 2010.
00:06:50I was 22, and I was abducted by an alien spacecraft.
00:06:54The experience gave me an intimate understanding of alien life form.
00:06:59The cosmic beings and I communed, shall we say,
00:07:05connected on a very deep level.
00:07:07Several times.
00:07:09It was phenomenal.
00:07:11Well, my life changed forever.
00:07:14And from that, I have a theory which explains how your man,
00:07:19Jacob, is it, might have died.
00:07:21Follow me.
00:07:27Zelda's my fiancée.
00:07:29Wow.
00:07:29Go you.
00:07:30No, no, no.
00:07:31Not go you.
00:07:32This is serious.
00:07:33It's a committed relationship.
00:07:34Okay?
00:07:35So, look, that guy you used to know, the old Christopher,
00:07:38he's history, okay?
00:07:39And new Christopher, he's got it together.
00:07:41New Christopher is trying hard and succeeding
00:07:43to be a fully integrated member of society.
00:07:46New Christopher is the only Christopher that Zelda knows.
00:07:49Christopher!
00:07:53New Christopher, fully integrated.
00:07:56Got it.
00:08:00The convention is in the ballroom.
00:08:02New ARCT members?
00:08:04Why am I not surprised?
00:08:05Trudy.
00:08:10Oh, looking great, Kirk.
00:08:12Keep it up.
00:08:14Thanks.
00:08:16Broken wood is in close proximity to Earth's magnetic south pole.
00:08:20Magnetic radiation passing overhead from the pole can disrupt an alien craft's navigation system.
00:08:27That's right.
00:08:28Um, alien planets may not have magnetic poles, so aliens wouldn't think to have polar navigational offsets.
00:08:32If the vessel descended too quickly with its door prematurely open,
00:08:37then it's likely that the leading edge of the door struck the man's head.
00:08:42Like so.
00:08:44It's got aborted alien abduction written all over it.
00:08:47It's a triple A event.
00:08:49Did either of you know Jacob Lewis?
00:08:53Know him?
00:08:53I don't think so.
00:08:55I'm, I'm vegan.
00:08:58It's interesting that you're holding a convention in Broken Wood and then a triple A event occurs.
00:09:04It's more than interesting.
00:09:05It's reinforcing.
00:09:07I'm constantly communing with cosmic beings and I put a lot of energy out.
00:09:13I'm hopeful that tomorrow night that energy will be returned from the form of a visitation.
00:09:19Why tomorrow night?
00:09:20Oh, as part of the convention, we're staging a reach-out.
00:09:23Well.
00:09:26Oh, thank you.
00:09:28Good luck with that.
00:09:29Yeah.
00:09:30Good luck.
00:09:31I'm so glad I could help.
00:09:32Me too.
00:09:37Non-believers?
00:09:39Infidels.
00:09:40They will come around.
00:09:43Excuse me, detectives.
00:09:44Ah, Dr. Plummer, Reverend Green.
00:09:47Is it true about Jacob Lewis?
00:09:49Ah, Mr. Lewis was found dead on the golf course this morning, yes.
00:09:53You knew him?
00:09:54Not personally, no.
00:09:56We were well acquainted with his cuisine.
00:09:58Dining at his restaurant.
00:10:00Something of our Friday night treat.
00:10:02Triple truffle burger with mushroom filet and chipotle fries.
00:10:06Oh, yummy.
00:10:06The truffle clings not to my taste.
00:10:10Lucas has another vice.
00:10:12And one holy sinner with double cheese, feta and beetroot fondue.
00:10:18Dare I say it, a taste of heaven.
00:10:21Such a huge loss to the gastro community.
00:10:25So your members are up?
00:10:26No.
00:10:27I prefer to think that aliens are their own unique species.
00:10:31I'm doing research for my next psychology book.
00:10:33Believing is seen.
00:10:34I'm simply here to observe the power of human imagination.
00:10:38And you, Reverend?
00:10:39I can never resist a free cab.
00:10:42And, of course, I'm also here to offer the church's perspective if needed.
00:10:45Ah, which is vague and it's best.
00:10:47We can discuss this later.
00:10:49Ah, it's Gina.
00:10:51Gina.
00:10:52Mike, I've done a preliminary examination on the victim's body.
00:10:55And?
00:10:56There are several sites of damage.
00:10:58I see.
00:10:59Mike, I think there may have been multiple aliens involved.
00:11:03Multiple aliens.
00:11:04I would bet a dwarf planet and a solar eclipse might.
00:11:09I'm on my way.
00:11:13Bye.
00:11:23Excuse me.
00:11:25Lena, hi.
00:11:27I heard about Jacob.
00:11:28It's so awful.
00:11:30Did you know him?
00:11:31Well, he used to hang out here.
00:11:33They're hitting on me for a date.
00:11:34The golf course.
00:11:36Yeah.
00:11:37Come on, you'll love it.
00:11:38It's beautiful at sunset.
00:11:39Lots of birds.
00:11:40Okay, sure.
00:11:41Why not?
00:11:42We could take Trudy's dog.
00:11:43Trudy's dog.
00:11:44Why?
00:11:45Well, you know, first aid and all, just might pay to have an adult in the room.
00:11:53He was an odd guy, but cute.
00:11:55Not as cute as Chad was, but still cute.
00:11:59Hey, do you reckon Pani has a sighthound or a scenthound?
00:12:02What?
00:12:03Well, hunting dogs are bred to be one or the other.
00:12:05Scenthounds have super sharp noses.
00:12:07You can train them to pick up on pretty much anything.
00:12:08I've got no idea.
00:12:10I'm more of a cat person.
00:12:11Do you like cats?
00:12:13Meow.
00:12:15I've got a cat suit at home.
00:12:23Looking for something?
00:12:25Just out for a casual walk?
00:12:27There's no crime in there, is there?
00:12:28Dogs are banned from the course.
00:12:30You need to leave.
00:12:31Well, dogs are banned, but pigs aren't.
00:12:33Talk about animal inequality.
00:12:34Read Animal Farm.
00:12:35You'll get the idea.
00:12:39Neither of us had read it, and Jacob admitted he wasn't into cats.
00:12:42Not that I'd wear my cat suit on a first date.
00:12:44The cat suit was me and Chad's thing.
00:12:47Still feels a bit soon, actually.
00:12:50Lena, what was Jacob digging for?
00:12:52Lost golf balls.
00:12:53What else?
00:12:54Quite the romantic first date.
00:12:57I was an extra pair of eyes to scan for balls.
00:12:59Pani was there to sniff for the buried ones.
00:13:01I wouldn't have thought that lost golf balls would be buried.
00:13:04Really old ones are.
00:13:05Jacob said the aged ones are the most valuable.
00:13:07Soil preserves them, and they've become, like, antique.
00:13:11Well, thanks.
00:13:13We'll be in touch if we need to know more.
00:13:32Tasha?
00:13:33Tash.
00:13:34Yeah?
00:13:35Uh, DC Chalmers.
00:13:37A few questions about this morning's incident?
00:13:40Right.
00:13:41Right.
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:42Shocking.
00:13:44What time did you start work this morning?
00:13:46Uh, around 7am.
00:13:48Did you notice anyone on or around the 13th fairway at that time?
00:13:53Uh, no.
00:13:54I was working in here.
00:13:55Busy doing maintenance work.
00:13:57The mowers constantly need oil and grease, so...
00:14:01No, I didn't see Jacob.
00:14:03But every other day I did.
00:14:05How old do you know him?
00:14:06I know him enough to know he's a self-entitled dick.
00:14:10That's a strong opinion.
00:14:11He was always damaging my fairways with his endless walking and lurking about.
00:14:15I warned him to get off my greens, but would be a right arsehole about it.
00:14:19Hey!
00:14:20I've had enough of you!
00:14:21Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
00:14:26Sucker!
00:14:28I never did get that hole-in-one.
00:14:32And that's as close as you got to him?
00:14:35Too risky for him to get any closer.
00:14:36I'm way more accurate at chipping than driving.
00:14:40The victim has a severe traumatic brain injury resulting from a blunt force to the head.
00:14:46Extensive fractures radiate from the central point of impact.
00:14:50Could a golf ball cause that injury?
00:14:52No.
00:14:53Too small.
00:14:54The trauma indicates that a large, curved object impacted his head.
00:14:59Also be a golf club.
00:15:01But, as I was saying, he also has a welt-like injury on the side of his calf.
00:15:07From the same object?
00:15:09More tests, Mike.
00:15:11But the tissue damage suggests it happened at the same time.
00:15:14At time of death?
00:15:16With no onset of rigor mortis when we arrived, I would estimate between 6 and 8 a.m.
00:15:22And the grass samples?
00:15:25The grass has been burned, not sprayed.
00:15:28But the victim, was his skin or clothing burnt at all?
00:15:31No.
00:15:33I burned the grass off with a flamethrower.
00:15:35We're one of the first golf courses in the world to be certified as organic, so obviously we kill as
00:15:39a total no-go.
00:15:42Why do you burn a circle of grass?
00:15:45I like polka dots.
00:15:46I'm going to burn them all over.
00:15:50I'm making a bunker.
00:15:52Step one, burn off the grass.
00:15:54Step two, let it sit for a week, let the roots dry out.
00:15:57I'm going to dig a bunker.
00:15:59Why a perfect circle?
00:16:02Circles are the ultimate symmetrical shape.
00:16:05They're balanced.
00:16:06They evoke harmony.
00:16:08Symmetry actually helps calm the players.
00:16:10My next bunker is going to be an equilateral triangle.
00:16:13Thomas!
00:16:17Excuse me.
00:16:25Hey!
00:16:27Can I help you?
00:16:29I'm addicted.
00:16:30Hey!
00:16:32Hey!
00:16:33Hey!
00:16:34Hey!
00:16:35Hey!
00:16:37Hey!
00:16:42Hey!
00:17:01Starting a new hobby.
00:17:02I'm saving that treat for retirement.
00:17:05When you won't be able to afford it.
00:17:06Very wise.
00:17:07Did I ever mention that I...
00:17:08Hate golf?
00:17:09Many times.
00:17:11We found this in the rough,
00:17:12not far from the crop circle.
00:17:15I'm guessing it broke and someone's dumped it.
00:17:17Be a pretty decent weapon in the wrong hands.
00:17:20Get Gina to see if that's a match for Jacob's wounds.
00:17:23As we were retrieving this,
00:17:25I saw a man loitering on the fairway.
00:17:27It didn't look like a golfer
00:17:28and he took off once I tried to engage with him.
00:17:40I couldn't get a read on the number plate.
00:17:42Tash didn't recognise him either.
00:17:45Aside from that,
00:17:45neither she nor the club manager, Janet Grimm,
00:17:48saw anyone on the course prior to Todd finding the victim.
00:17:51So the fairways were empty?
00:17:53But for the aliens.
00:17:54Oh yes, on that note,
00:17:56in her shed,
00:17:57Tash is hiding something strange under a drop cloth.
00:18:01How strange?
00:18:02Well, let's just say at this stage,
00:18:03it remains unidentified.
00:18:07What's under the drop cloth?
00:18:09Uh, well, why do you want to know?
00:18:13I'm intrigued by its contour.
00:18:16Uh, yeah, I can't tell you.
00:18:26You think it's a UFO?
00:18:30You do, don't you?
00:18:31No, all I'm saying is that...
00:18:33A flying saucer.
00:18:34Wow, come on.
00:18:35Why was she being evasive?
00:18:37You have that effect on people.
00:18:39There is no flying saucer.
00:18:40But if there is,
00:18:41I'll dress up as a little green alien.
00:18:44Well then, boss,
00:18:45we should get a warrant to find out.
00:18:47On the suspicion that a greenkeeper
00:18:48is harbouring alien fugitives in a spaceship.
00:18:51It's tenuous.
00:18:52But Kristen, as a little green alien,
00:18:54surely that's worth a shot.
00:18:55In your dreams.
00:18:58Uh, what about Jacob's cafe?
00:19:00Do you know if anyone wanted to harm Jacob?
00:19:03No, he was a cool guy.
00:19:06Did he owe anyone any money?
00:19:09Mm, the cafe's doing well,
00:19:10so I doubt that.
00:19:11He was thinking of expanding.
00:19:13Wanted me to take over some of the cooking,
00:19:15but that's so not my thing.
00:19:17Did he seem more stressed than normal?
00:19:19Oh, he's a bit antsy
00:19:20about the rising price of raw ingredients,
00:19:22but who isn't?
00:19:24Okay, well, um...
00:19:27We out.
00:19:28Can you cook?
00:19:30Can I cook?
00:19:31It's just...
00:19:33I'm freaking out.
00:19:34Well, it turns out Jacob's cafe
00:19:36have the contract for catering the ARPT event,
00:19:39and Freya is a little bit overwhelmed
00:19:41by the prospect.
00:19:44Tom!
00:19:47Hey, I've been thinking about the crop circle,
00:19:49trying to make sense of it.
00:19:50Uh, have you spoken to Janet Grimm?
00:19:52We have.
00:19:53Oh, good.
00:19:54Because when I saw you this morning,
00:19:55it was really weird.
00:19:56Stop!
00:19:57What the hell, lady?
00:19:58Get the hell out of here, Gordon!
00:19:59So I figured maybe Janet
00:20:01and the alien forces
00:20:01might be working together.
00:20:03Because?
00:20:04She was threatening him.
00:20:05Next minute, he was struck by a spaceship.
00:20:07What was the yelling about?
00:20:08It's obvious, isn't it?
00:20:10It was about herding Jacob
00:20:11into the open space
00:20:12while giving the spaceship
00:20:13a glass shot at him.
00:20:17Oh, too soon.
00:20:18Hey, I've got a train.
00:20:22Someone's telling Porky's.
00:20:23Indeed.
00:20:25Let's bring in Janet Grimm.
00:20:30Pay the green fees.
00:20:31End of story.
00:20:32Capitalist coercion.
00:20:33This is probably stolen land anyway.
00:20:36No pay, no pay.
00:20:37Listen, this is so much bigger
00:20:38than us not paying green fees.
00:20:39We were this close to actual contact.
00:20:41This close.
00:20:42I smell bacon.
00:20:44You've upset him.
00:20:45It's okay, hon.
00:20:47It's okay.
00:20:47No, the actual pigs are here.
00:20:51Ms. Grimm.
00:20:52We need to talk.
00:20:54Can you arrest these clowns?
00:20:56For trespassing,
00:20:56not paying green fees?
00:20:57Anything will be good
00:20:58to get them out of my face.
00:21:00Fellas, can I have a word?
00:21:03Janet, we have a witness
00:21:05who saw you shouting
00:21:06at Jacob Lewis
00:21:07this morning on the golf course.
00:21:09Who said that?
00:21:10That's not relevant.
00:21:11What is relevant
00:21:12is why you said
00:21:12you hadn't seen anyone
00:21:13on the course when you had.
00:21:15Well, with all the police activity,
00:21:16it must have stripped my mind.
00:21:18What were you arguing about?
00:21:20He was doing his usual
00:21:21lurking in the trees,
00:21:22but he was also
00:21:23digging up the grounds.
00:21:24I'd had enough.
00:21:25Why would he be digging?
00:21:26No idea.
00:21:27It's just what he does.
00:21:28He digs.
00:21:30He lurks.
00:21:32We're going to need
00:21:32a formal statement from you
00:21:34down at the station.
00:21:35Oh, I can't leave Alfie.
00:21:36I'll talk to Tash.
00:21:37I'm sure she can hold the fort.
00:21:39Don't fret, honey.
00:21:41Don't be long.
00:21:44Christopher,
00:21:44you may proclaim
00:21:45not to remember me,
00:21:46but I certainly remember
00:21:48you well enough
00:21:49to know that you are
00:21:49not a golfer,
00:21:51as evidenced by your attire.
00:21:53We wanted to blend in.
00:21:54To sneak onto the golf course.
00:21:55Why?
00:21:56To pay our respects
00:21:57to the dead guy.
00:21:58So, sneaking into a crime scene?
00:22:00An aborted alien abduction
00:22:01is not a crime scene.
00:22:02A AAA event
00:22:03is the scene of an accident.
00:22:04We came to be at one
00:22:05with the crop circle.
00:22:07Beautiful.
00:22:08They were here.
00:22:10Right here.
00:22:11Which means we're only
00:22:12a few hours behind
00:22:13actual contact.
00:22:14Aliens were here.
00:22:15Aliens were here.
00:22:18Oh.
00:22:20Oh, it's like the yolk
00:22:21of a giant alien egg
00:22:22that just oozed down
00:22:23into the grass.
00:22:25I mean...
00:22:25Oh.
00:22:27Oh.
00:22:28It smells so good.
00:22:30Christopher,
00:22:31check the radiation
00:22:32and...
00:22:32Oh.
00:22:38Affirmative.
00:22:40Turned out
00:22:40to be 0.001 MSVs.
00:22:43So, about the same
00:22:44as eating a banana, then?
00:22:45They still left their mark.
00:22:46And you still disregarded
00:22:48a police cordon.
00:22:49Plastic tape.
00:22:50Big deal.
00:22:51Detective,
00:22:51you don't have to tell
00:22:52Zelda about this, do you?
00:22:53I just don't want to
00:22:54stress her out.
00:22:56I think we can
00:22:57keep it between us.
00:22:58Great.
00:22:59And remember,
00:23:00I may have...
00:23:00You're a fully
00:23:01integrated member
00:23:02of society.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04So act like it.
00:23:07Chris,
00:23:08don't talk to pigs.
00:23:09They're not like us.
00:23:11They're animals.
00:23:15Hello?
00:23:16Hello?
00:23:19Hello?
00:23:21Hello?
00:23:21Hello?
00:23:22Hello?
00:23:23Hello?
00:23:24Hello?
00:23:36Once again,
00:23:37what were you and Jacob
00:23:38arguing about?
00:23:39His attitude.
00:23:41Digging up and
00:23:42wrecking your golf course.
00:23:44I'll start,
00:23:45wouldn't you say?
00:23:46What was he digging for?
00:23:48Golf balls.
00:23:49Let me guess,
00:23:50the buried ones are aged
00:23:52and therefore worth more.
00:23:53Okay.
00:23:54A golf ball's a golf ball
00:23:56as far as I'm concerned.
00:23:57Hey,
00:23:58hey,
00:23:58you're ripping me off
00:23:59big time.
00:24:00Supply and demand,
00:24:01that's all it is.
00:24:02Take it or leave it.
00:24:05Supply and demand
00:24:05of what?
00:24:06Golf balls.
00:24:08I bought them
00:24:09off Jacob for a dollar.
00:24:10I sold them
00:24:11at the club room shops
00:24:12for five dollars.
00:24:13He thought the markup
00:24:13was too high,
00:24:14he wanted more money.
00:24:15I refused.
00:24:16I don't pretend
00:24:17to understand
00:24:18how his mind works,
00:24:19but he was digging
00:24:20up my course.
00:24:21We shouted at each other
00:24:22and...
00:24:23end of story.
00:24:25Ugh.
00:24:28Hi there.
00:24:30How do you feel?
00:24:32Like I've been
00:24:33hitting the head
00:24:33with a shovel.
00:24:34Well, that's a good sign
00:24:35because that is
00:24:36what happened.
00:24:38So, at least
00:24:39your memory
00:24:39hasn't been affected.
00:24:41Great.
00:24:42Why did you feel
00:24:42the need to hit me?
00:24:43I thought you were a prowler.
00:24:46What do you think
00:24:47you were doing anyway?
00:24:48I came to see you.
00:24:49No, you were snooping.
00:24:51I'm a detective,
00:24:52you know that.
00:24:52I did have a prowl here
00:24:53last week.
00:24:57Oi!
00:24:59What do you think
00:24:59you're doing?
00:25:00Uh, lost my keys.
00:25:02Like hell you did.
00:25:03Get out of here!
00:25:04He was casing the place,
00:25:06looking for a way
00:25:07to break in.
00:25:08Snooping.
00:25:09For what?
00:25:13Foreign objects.
00:25:14Such as?
00:25:15Let's just say
00:25:16some things belong
00:25:17in this world
00:25:18and some things don't.
00:25:27Hi.
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:31What's with you?
00:25:33Oh, I've got
00:25:34a bit of a bump
00:25:34to the head.
00:25:36By the leading edge
00:25:37of a spaceship's
00:25:38prematurely open door.
00:25:39Ah, I went
00:25:41to talk to Tash.
00:25:42I was in her shed.
00:25:44It was dark.
00:25:45She thought I was a prowler.
00:25:46She whacked me
00:25:46with a shovel.
00:25:50What a nasty bruise.
00:25:52Broken skin, though.
00:25:53Get checked
00:25:54for a concussion.
00:25:56Do you want
00:25:56to charge her?
00:25:57Well, technically
00:25:58I was trespassing.
00:26:00No warrant.
00:26:00Trying to get a peek
00:26:01at her flying saucer.
00:26:02Well, she did mention
00:26:03something about
00:26:03not belonging
00:26:04to this world.
00:26:05Daniel,
00:26:07come on now.
00:26:08Let it go.
00:26:08Did you get anything
00:26:09more useful
00:26:10than a possible concussion?
00:26:12Not much.
00:26:14This morning,
00:26:16are you sure
00:26:17you didn't see
00:26:17Jacob Lewis?
00:26:18I already told you no.
00:26:20Well, it's just that you
00:26:21burn a circle
00:26:22in the grass
00:26:23and the guy
00:26:24you didn't like
00:26:24ends up deaden it.
00:26:26Put over the head.
00:26:27I'm wondering
00:26:28if there's a pattern here.
00:26:30Was it your shovel?
00:26:31Well, if it was,
00:26:33I wasn't swinging it.
00:26:35Did you ever see him
00:26:36digging up the golf course?
00:26:38No.
00:26:40Although, Janet
00:26:40reckoned she saw him
00:26:41and there was some
00:26:42damage around the place.
00:26:43Although,
00:26:44that'd be Alfie.
00:26:45Because, hey,
00:26:46if your course manager
00:26:46owns a pig,
00:26:47what do you expect?
00:26:48It is odd, though,
00:26:49isn't it?
00:26:52Why bring a pig
00:26:53to a golf course?
00:26:59And whatever Janet
00:27:00and Jacob
00:27:00were arguing about,
00:27:01I doubt it was
00:27:02the price of lost walls.
00:27:03Perhaps we should
00:27:04take a closer look
00:27:05at the three amigos,
00:27:08Chris Kramer,
00:27:10Kirk Rollins,
00:27:11and Luke Lamarro
00:27:13all snuck onto
00:27:14Brokenwood Golf Course today.
00:27:15Did they say why?
00:27:16To commune
00:27:17with the alien crop circle.
00:27:19Well, they were
00:27:20looking for something.
00:27:20Yeah, like that golf club.
00:27:22That, or whatever
00:27:23they used to kill
00:27:24Jacob Lewis
00:27:25earlier that morning.
00:27:26But why kill the caterer?
00:27:28Maybe it didn't matter who,
00:27:30just someone.
00:27:32Someone to die
00:27:33in the crop circle
00:27:34to prove their
00:27:35crazy beliefs.
00:27:38Aliens have come.
00:27:48Thanks, Frodo.
00:27:49How's your ex-file progressing?
00:27:51The alien abduction
00:27:53line of inquiry
00:27:53is not something
00:27:54we're pursuing right now.
00:27:56Zelda won't be happy.
00:27:57I don't think
00:27:57Zelda will be truly happy
00:27:59until she's back
00:28:00aboard the Battlestar Galactica.
00:28:03I'll see you in there.
00:28:04I don't want to miss
00:28:04any revelations.
00:28:09You're not really
00:28:10going to go in there,
00:28:11are you?
00:28:11Bunch of crazies.
00:28:13Trudy,
00:28:14you're not catering
00:28:14the event.
00:28:15Thankfully.
00:28:16I wouldn't trust
00:28:17that fruitcake to pay up.
00:28:18You will get your money
00:28:19when we're satisfied
00:28:20with the service.
00:28:22Then dish up
00:28:22porky pigeon pizzas
00:28:23if you don't care
00:28:24about the quality.
00:28:24Hey,
00:28:25keep your voice down.
00:28:27They're not vegan.
00:28:28If there is no connection
00:28:30with the Cosmic Overlords
00:28:31tomorrow,
00:28:31it will be because
00:28:32my energy flows
00:28:33are disrupted.
00:28:34And I will hold you
00:28:35personally responsible.
00:28:38Now look what you've done.
00:28:39Hey,
00:28:40pay up
00:28:40and I'll play it up.
00:28:42With venue hire,
00:28:43you can lock them out.
00:28:44With food,
00:28:44they can scoff and run.
00:28:45And did they pay up?
00:28:47Don't know.
00:28:48What I do know
00:28:49is they have desperation
00:28:50written all over them.
00:28:51So watch your backs.
00:28:53The Cosmic Overlords
00:28:55are observing the way
00:28:57we live
00:28:57and think.
00:28:59Right now,
00:29:00our culture
00:29:01is too destructive
00:29:03to be of any use
00:29:03to them.
00:29:04We must strive
00:29:05to achieve
00:29:06a greater sense
00:29:07of harmony.
00:29:08Only then
00:29:09will they begin
00:29:11to purify us.
00:29:13Now,
00:29:13Lucas,
00:29:13now.
00:29:15Reverend,
00:29:16your mention
00:29:17of the aliens
00:29:18helping us
00:29:19to be better
00:29:19interplanetary beings
00:29:21resonates with
00:29:22the Christian idea
00:29:23of humanity
00:29:24being prepared
00:29:25for eternal life.
00:29:28I wonder
00:29:29if God
00:29:30rather than
00:29:31your cosmic...
00:29:32Cosmic
00:29:33overlords.
00:29:34Yes,
00:29:34I wonder
00:29:35if God
00:29:37might make
00:29:37a much better
00:29:38job of that
00:29:39transformation.
00:29:40I actually
00:29:41believe that
00:29:41God
00:29:42is an alien,
00:29:44a cosmic overlord.
00:29:46So,
00:29:46you might be
00:29:47onto something there,
00:29:48Reverend Christopher.
00:29:50How long
00:29:51did you commune
00:29:51with the
00:29:52cosmic overlords?
00:29:53It's hard to say.
00:29:56You lose
00:29:57all sense of time.
00:29:59It's like you're
00:29:59traveling into the past
00:30:00and the future
00:30:01simultaneously.
00:30:03So,
00:30:04in Earth time,
00:30:05I'd estimate
00:30:05around ten days.
00:30:07Were the aliens
00:30:08naked?
00:30:09Uh,
00:30:10yes.
00:30:11Were you
00:30:12naked?
00:30:14Christopher,
00:30:15I told you,
00:30:16I was at a music festival.
00:30:17Of course I was naked.
00:30:18But you know,
00:30:18you can't handle this.
00:30:19Did the aliens
00:30:20have genitals?
00:30:21Christopher.
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:22Um,
00:30:23how did you
00:30:24communicate
00:30:24with the aliens
00:30:26if there was
00:30:27a lack of
00:30:27common language?
00:30:30By touch.
00:30:33And if you
00:30:33must know,
00:30:34I loved it.
00:30:36And so did they.
00:30:38All right,
00:30:39everyone,
00:30:40that concludes
00:30:40my presentation.
00:30:42Now,
00:30:43let's move on
00:30:43to planning
00:30:44tonight's event.
00:30:45Now that the
00:30:46lights and equipment
00:30:47are sorted,
00:30:48then there's
00:30:48only one thing
00:30:49left to do
00:30:50to attract
00:30:51an alien spaceship.
00:30:52Can I please
00:30:53have a volunteer
00:30:54from the audience
00:30:55to offer themselves
00:30:56up as an abductee?
00:30:59Oh,
00:31:00Christopher.
00:31:00No,
00:31:01sorry.
00:31:01We already have
00:31:02a volunteer
00:31:03and we don't want
00:31:04the Cosmic Overlord
00:31:05staff to choose
00:31:05between the two of you.
00:31:06All right,
00:31:07everyone,
00:31:07let's please
00:31:08give a round
00:31:09of applause
00:31:10to our hero,
00:31:11Luke.
00:31:11Yes!
00:31:14Luke,
00:31:15your bravery
00:31:15is truly
00:31:16commendable.
00:31:18If abducted,
00:31:19I can truly
00:31:19say that your
00:31:21life will be
00:31:22enriched
00:31:22beyond imagination.
00:31:24Bring it on!
00:31:25Yes!
00:31:28My abduction
00:31:29will be further proof
00:31:30not only
00:31:31that aliens exist,
00:31:33but they are here
00:31:33for good,
00:31:34not evil.
00:31:38I am willing
00:31:39to stake my life
00:31:39on it.
00:31:42Aliens are people
00:31:43too!
00:31:43Yes!
00:31:44Aliens are people
00:31:45too!
00:31:45Aliens are people
00:31:46too!
00:31:47Aliens are people
00:31:48too!
00:31:48Aliens are people
00:31:49Aliens are people
00:31:50too!
00:31:52Yeah!
00:31:52Hey, everyone!
00:31:54Thank you,
00:31:55and see you tonight
00:31:56at the Designated Zone!
00:32:01Special bunch
00:32:02of humans.
00:32:03Cosmic
00:32:04Politan?
00:32:05Ah,
00:32:06no,
00:32:07thanks.
00:32:07We're okay,
00:32:07Lena.
00:32:10Why were you two
00:32:10in there?
00:32:11Ah,
00:32:11we came to ask
00:32:12a couple of questions
00:32:13while infiltrating
00:32:14our meeting.
00:32:15You two were
00:32:16on the golf course
00:32:17yesterday?
00:32:17Yes,
00:32:18you saw us.
00:32:18They're slow learners.
00:32:19Were you there
00:32:21earlier in the day,
00:32:21say around 7am?
00:32:22Wow,
00:32:23a diversion tactic.
00:32:24Who do you work for?
00:32:25Secret Service?
00:32:26CIA?
00:32:26CIB,
00:32:27actually.
00:32:28We like to keep it local.
00:32:29Well,
00:32:30asleep in my motel.
00:32:31Alone?
00:32:32No,
00:32:33I was with my dreams.
00:32:35And you?
00:32:36I was with Zelda.
00:32:37Don't ask what he was doing,
00:32:38though.
00:32:38Hey,
00:32:38Christopher.
00:32:39X-rated.
00:32:40Is there a problem?
00:32:42The police,
00:32:43or should I say
00:32:44government plants,
00:32:45have been spying on us.
00:32:46We have nothing to hide.
00:32:47Good.
00:32:48Where were you yesterday?
00:32:49Between 7 and 8 am?
00:32:50Why are you looking at Luke?
00:32:52I've told you it was
00:32:53an aborted alien abduction.
00:32:55A triple A event.
00:32:56Yeah,
00:32:56we are the experts
00:32:57in this field.
00:32:58Trust us.
00:32:59I can handle this.
00:33:00I was at the motel
00:33:01prepping for my keynote
00:33:03speech tomorrow
00:33:03titled,
00:33:04Your neighbor is an alien.
00:33:06In fact,
00:33:07you're more than welcome
00:33:07to attend to hear my proof.
00:33:09And what proof
00:33:09would that be?
00:33:10Leaked top secret documents
00:33:12detailing how aliens
00:33:13are living among us
00:33:14here and now.
00:33:15We are so blinkered
00:33:16by normality
00:33:16that we can't see them.
00:33:18If Jacob Lewis saw them,
00:33:19I'm sure of it.
00:33:21Whatever Jacob saw
00:33:22killed him,
00:33:23but alien interference
00:33:24is unlikely.
00:33:26Then how do you explain
00:33:27the crop circle?
00:33:28Burn off with a flamethrower
00:33:29by a greenkeeper.
00:33:30Routine.
00:33:31Conspiracy of doubt.
00:33:33Ms. Belfand,
00:33:33you said you didn't know
00:33:34the victim,
00:33:35but you were seen
00:33:36arguing with him
00:33:37the night before he died.
00:33:38Hey,
00:33:39pay up and I'll play it up!
00:33:41Oh,
00:33:41sure we met,
00:33:42however I didn't know him
00:33:44and we weren't arguing,
00:33:45we were negotiating.
00:33:46But you had a problem
00:33:47with Mr. Lewis.
00:33:48Oh,
00:33:48there was no problem.
00:33:49In fact,
00:33:49the food should be here soon.
00:33:51Sustenance,
00:33:52Big night ahead.
00:33:59Kirk Rollins is a creep.
00:34:00Passionate and his delusion,
00:34:01not least.
00:34:06Rookie mistake.
00:34:07Should have parked the car
00:34:08closer to the front door.
00:34:10Freya,
00:34:10this is Detective Shepard.
00:34:11Hey.
00:34:12Hello.
00:34:13I see you've had some success.
00:34:15It's a disaster.
00:34:16Jacob's famous
00:34:17truffle tofu pasta
00:34:19without any truffles.
00:34:21We forgot to add them.
00:34:22No,
00:34:23we've run out.
00:34:23I substituted mustard for it.
00:34:25I'm hoping they won't notice.
00:34:27Your supply let you down?
00:34:28No idea.
00:34:29Jacob sourced them.
00:34:30I've got to get in there.
00:34:32See ya!
00:34:33Good luck.
00:34:35What do people with steel rods
00:34:36and pegs
00:34:38rooting around trees
00:34:38have in common?
00:34:39Come on.
00:34:43What?
00:34:45Healthy.
00:34:51Janet!
00:34:53How can I help?
00:34:55Jacob Lewis didn't supply you
00:34:57with golf balls, did he?
00:34:58I'm not sure what you're getting at.
00:34:59He was hunting for the same thing
00:35:01that you hunt for.
00:35:02And what would that be?
00:35:04Truffles.
00:35:05Jacob was digging for truffles
00:35:07but unlike you
00:35:08he didn't find any.
00:35:10Truffles?
00:35:11They need black walnut trees
00:35:12don't they?
00:35:13Or English oaks?
00:35:14We don't have any on the course.
00:35:15You seem to know a lot about it.
00:35:18We can have a search team
00:35:19here within the hour
00:35:19with a warrant.
00:35:21If they find any
00:35:22it could put you on the frame
00:35:23for Jacob Lewis' murder.
00:35:24How?
00:35:25Motive.
00:35:28The search team
00:35:29will do their best
00:35:30but it could get messy.
00:35:32Alright.
00:35:33Alright.
00:35:35Best we do this
00:35:36at the station, huh?
00:35:37But Alfie...
00:35:38Alfie seems happy to me.
00:35:40Come on.
00:35:40Let's see.
00:35:46Hello Janet.
00:35:50Truffles.
00:35:52Found on the root system
00:35:53of some trees
00:35:54including a certain
00:35:55variety of pine.
00:35:57What of it?
00:35:58They can fetch
00:35:59up to $3,500 per kilo.
00:36:01If one had their own supply
00:36:03it's understandable
00:36:04that they
00:36:04might not like
00:36:05others helping themselves.
00:36:07And
00:36:07how far might one
00:36:09go to protect
00:36:10that supply?
00:36:14It was an accident.
00:36:16The discovery.
00:36:17That is.
00:36:19Alfie,
00:36:19what have you found?
00:36:21tuba milanospora.
00:36:25Perigord
00:36:25black truffles.
00:36:29Otherwise known
00:36:30as black gold.
00:36:32I'd seen Jacob
00:36:33offer truffled mushrooms
00:36:34on his menu
00:36:35so I thought
00:36:35he might be interested.
00:36:36Offered him a private deal
00:36:3840%
00:36:39of the going rate.
00:36:40He was happy.
00:36:42He expanded his menu
00:36:43around truffles
00:36:44and the cafe
00:36:45was a success.
00:36:47Then I raised my prices.
00:36:48I'm only fair
00:36:49to share in his success.
00:36:50Boy!
00:36:51What do you think
00:36:52you're doing?
00:36:53I know extortion
00:36:53when I see it.
00:36:54You're forcing me
00:36:55to take matters
00:36:55into my own hands.
00:36:56Well you won't find
00:36:57anything here.
00:36:58Come on Janet.
00:36:59The golf course
00:36:59has got to be your source.
00:37:00I mean look at Alfie.
00:37:01He's onto one right now.
00:37:02You get off my land
00:37:03right now!
00:37:04Bet he got greedy.
00:37:06Stuck his little nose
00:37:07in and wouldn't let go.
00:37:08I don't know
00:37:09how many times
00:37:09I chased him off.
00:37:10Told you to get out of here!
00:37:12What ifs?
00:37:14What the hell lady?
00:37:15Get the hell out of here!
00:37:16Go on!
00:37:18I detest it
00:37:19when people say whatever.
00:37:21What ifs?
00:37:22Like fingernails
00:37:23down a blackboard.
00:37:25Well manners
00:37:26and bad grammar aside
00:37:28you still seriously
00:37:30assaulted Jacob.
00:37:31Whatever.
00:37:32We had it coming.
00:37:34The blow to his leg
00:37:35or the blow to his head?
00:37:37The one that killed him.
00:37:40You had a weapon
00:37:41and you admit
00:37:42to beating him
00:37:43on the leg.
00:37:46I swear
00:37:47I only hit him
00:37:47the once.
00:37:49I would never
00:37:49take someone's life.
00:37:51You know
00:37:52not for all the
00:37:52truffles in the world.
00:37:55Janet Grimm
00:37:55we need you
00:37:56to remain in Brokenwood
00:37:57while we ascertain
00:37:58whether your pole
00:37:59delivered the fatal blow
00:38:00to the victim's head.
00:38:05If word gets out
00:38:06it'll be like
00:38:07the Gold Rush days.
00:38:08To a chef
00:38:09the scent of a truffle
00:38:10awakens a hunger
00:38:11as primal as bloodlust.
00:38:13I'll be fending off
00:38:14a stampede of chefs
00:38:15in their kitchen hands
00:38:16mining up the fairways.
00:38:18It's just a little
00:38:19sideline you see
00:38:20for my retirement.
00:38:23I'd appreciate it
00:38:24if we keep it
00:38:25just between ourselves.
00:38:50Do you see
00:38:51Traumas?
00:38:52Yeah
00:38:53it's Tash.
00:38:56I think I found
00:38:57something.
00:39:03Your alien friends
00:39:04must be very small
00:39:06to fly in that.
00:39:07You said they were big?
00:39:10Tash found this
00:39:1120 metres downhill
00:39:12from the crop circle.
00:39:14Fingerprints
00:39:15made a match
00:39:15on a Bud Johnson.
00:39:18Judging by this
00:39:19I'm sure he's the man
00:39:20I saw on the fairway.
00:39:21Why wouldn't you
00:39:22own up to looking
00:39:23for a discus?
00:39:24When you use
00:39:25your discus
00:39:26to kill someone?
00:39:27Get Gina to
00:39:28check the curvature
00:39:29of that discus
00:39:30against Jacob's
00:39:31head injury.
00:39:32Bash with that
00:39:32would do the job.
00:39:33And Bud Johnson
00:39:35has a prior for assault.
00:39:36He got 12 months
00:39:37home detention for it.
00:39:38His ankle bracelet
00:39:39came off six months ago.
00:39:40Hang on
00:39:41I think I've read about him.
00:39:42Is discus
00:39:43a decathlon event?
00:39:45I think so.
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:48Yeah look.
00:39:48Brokenwood decathlon star
00:39:51flies high.
00:39:53Bud Johnson
00:39:54showcased his prowess
00:39:56at the National Athletic Championships
00:39:58earning a commendable
00:39:59fourth place.
00:40:13Hi.
00:40:14Bud Johnson?
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16Detective
00:40:17Kristen Sims
00:40:18Brokenwood CIB
00:40:19and I believe
00:40:20you've already met
00:40:20my colleague
00:40:21DC Chalmers.
00:40:22We think
00:40:22we have some
00:40:23lost property
00:40:24belonging to you.
00:40:25It's a track and field
00:40:26discus
00:40:27that's found on the
00:40:27golf course.
00:40:28It could be more.
00:40:29Just yet?
00:40:30Yeah it's back at the station.
00:40:31Why?
00:40:32We were hoping
00:40:33you could help us with that.
00:40:34How?
00:40:35A man was found dead
00:40:37on the golf course
00:40:37this morning.
00:40:38So I lose a discus
00:40:39and next minute
00:40:40I'm a murder suspect?
00:40:41Oh you didn't say that.
00:40:43Yeah but you're thinking it.
00:40:44Today when I called out to you
00:40:45you ran off
00:40:46and then you drove away
00:40:47from me in a reckless manner.
00:40:49Why?
00:40:49Yeah look
00:40:50I've learnt the hard way
00:40:50and if I don't see any words
00:40:51you can't twist them.
00:40:53Surely that's only a problem
00:40:54if you've actually
00:40:55done something wrong.
00:40:57I suggest you
00:40:57come back to the station
00:40:58with us and make a statement
00:40:59about how your discus
00:41:00ended up on the golf course.
00:41:03Recorded words
00:41:03are harder to manipulate.
00:41:13Were you on the golf course
00:41:14early yesterday morning
00:41:15around sunrise?
00:41:16Yes.
00:41:17What were you doing there?
00:41:19I was discus training.
00:41:21And did you see anyone else
00:41:22at the golf course
00:41:23during that time?
00:41:24No.
00:41:25Why did you leave
00:41:26your discus there?
00:41:27I just made my first throw
00:41:29of the morning
00:41:29when I got a call
00:41:29about an accident.
00:41:31To get the job
00:41:31I've got to be the first
00:41:32toy in the scene.
00:41:33I didn't have time
00:41:34to look for my discus.
00:41:35What fairway number
00:41:36were you on?
00:41:37No idea.
00:41:38A man was found dead
00:41:39on the golf course.
00:41:40He died from a severe
00:41:41head injury
00:41:42at the time
00:41:42you were there.
00:41:47We know you have
00:41:48a conviction for assault.
00:41:50We know that the man
00:41:51you assaulted
00:41:52was in hospital
00:41:53for over a week.
00:41:54Do you know
00:41:55why I assaulted him?
00:41:56Enlighten us.
00:41:58The drunk prick
00:41:58was my neighbour's ex.
00:41:59He came to beat her up again.
00:42:01I made sure
00:42:02it was the last time
00:42:02he hurt her.
00:42:04I've done my
00:42:05anger management course
00:42:06and I'll admit
00:42:06the ninth step
00:42:07is the hardest
00:42:08What is the ninth step?
00:42:09To develop empathy
00:42:10for the other's perspective.
00:42:12I still don't have
00:42:13empathy for my neighbour's ex
00:42:14but I'm trying
00:42:15to change my ways.
00:42:17That's why I'm
00:42:17training so hard.
00:42:18It's a way of releasing
00:42:19all the negativity.
00:42:21Do you know this man?
00:42:26I don't remember him.
00:42:35Gina, you want to see me?
00:42:37Always, Mike.
00:42:38Good evening.
00:42:39Evening.
00:42:40The curvature
00:42:41of this type of discus
00:42:42matches the victim's
00:42:43head injury.
00:42:47The dick athlete
00:42:49Bud Johnson
00:42:50I've seen his photo
00:42:51in the paper.
00:42:52Handsome.
00:42:53He reminds me
00:42:54of a volleyball player
00:42:55I knew in Vladivostok.
00:42:56Well, Bud Johnson
00:42:58was convicted
00:42:58for serious assault
00:42:59and depending on
00:43:01what you tell me
00:43:01perhaps more convictions
00:43:03will follow.
00:43:05I will do what I can
00:43:06for you, Mike.
00:43:07If you allow me
00:43:08to show you my melons.
00:43:09Uh, sure.
00:43:14Imagine this melon
00:43:15is the victim's head.
00:43:26A very accurate throw
00:43:27that struck
00:43:28at full speed
00:43:29could also kill.
00:43:31World champion
00:43:32discus throws
00:43:33travel at speeds
00:43:34of 26 meters
00:43:35per second
00:43:36which is
00:43:3793.6
00:43:38kilometers per hour.
00:43:39So it's like
00:43:40being hit in the head
00:43:40by a very small car.
00:43:41A two kg car
00:43:43with no wheels
00:43:44that flies.
00:43:44Yes.
00:43:45The impact force
00:43:46at high velocity
00:43:47leads to certain
00:43:48cranial fracture.
00:43:51If Bud Johnson
00:43:53threw his discus
00:43:54from a very short range
00:43:56it would have been
00:43:57a lethal act.
00:44:00But did he have intent?
00:44:02Bud Johnson stated
00:44:04he didn't know
00:44:04Jacob Lewis
00:44:05so where's the motive?
00:44:07So, uh,
00:44:08freak accident?
00:44:09Well, if you're training
00:44:10you're going to watch
00:44:11the full flight
00:44:11of your throat
00:44:12to see how far it flies.
00:44:13You would have had
00:44:14to have seen it
00:44:15strike Jacob.
00:44:16Intentional
00:44:17or accidental
00:44:17either way
00:44:18it's a hit and run.
00:44:23Let's bring him
00:44:24in tomorrow.
00:44:46I fail to see
00:44:48a meaningful distinction
00:44:49between belief
00:44:49in extraterrestrial life
00:44:51and belief in God.
00:44:52There is no empirical evidence
00:44:54to suggest that either exist.
00:44:55I'm not concerned
00:44:56with the belief
00:44:56it's the worshipping
00:44:57of aliens that's the issue.
00:44:59Worship is belief
00:45:00times a few degrees.
00:45:02Roger, you're hogging
00:45:03the blanket.
00:45:03Lucas, please, I'm not.
00:45:14When did Luke learn
00:45:15alienese?
00:45:16I taught him yesterday.
00:45:18Uh-huh.
00:45:20Out of all of us
00:45:21I think that Luke
00:45:22is the best mate
00:45:23for want of a better word.
00:45:25He's strong
00:45:26mentally
00:45:28physically
00:45:30you feel a little
00:45:31feeble in comparison.
00:45:32But you're not at all.
00:45:34I haven't communed
00:45:35with aliens
00:45:36in 16 years.
00:45:37I make you all
00:45:39follow me
00:45:40up and down
00:45:40the country
00:45:41promising alien encounters
00:45:43that never evacuate.
00:45:44But they will.
00:45:47I wonder if Luke
00:45:48would be a better leader.
00:45:49if I stood down
00:45:50we could make him president.
00:45:52No way.
00:45:54We follow you
00:45:55because we believe in you.
00:45:57There could be
00:45:58a million reasons
00:45:59why aliens haven't visited us
00:46:01and none of them
00:46:01would involve you.
00:46:02You remain our one degree
00:46:03of separation
00:46:04to another life form.
00:46:06You're phenomenal.
00:46:08Really?
00:46:08Yes.
00:46:09Yesterday Jacob Lewis
00:46:10came this close
00:46:11to being abducted.
00:46:12That is no coincidence.
00:46:14They are looking
00:46:15for you.
00:46:18They are coming.
00:46:19But it'll be you
00:46:21and not Luke
00:46:21who they beam up
00:46:23into their ship.
00:46:24And I wouldn't say no.
00:46:26Thank you, Christopher.
00:46:45Nice thing.
00:46:47We're both together.
00:46:48Perfect.
00:46:49Here we go.
00:46:51All right.
00:47:20Oh
00:47:22Too much
00:47:52I take it this was the venue Arpt chose for their reach-out?
00:47:56Interesting choice given Jacob Lewis's demise
00:47:59This is my fault
00:48:01Why?
00:48:02I found both bodies. I tapped into some kind of dark energy vortex
00:48:07Well, I think that was just a weird coincidence
00:48:12Training time again. Really?
00:48:17No way. I'm done with speed golf. Body count's too high
00:48:23Time of death?
00:48:24Judging by his body temperature may be between 3 and 5 a.m.
00:48:29How similar are his injuries to the first victim?
00:48:33He has a head injury on his right temple and symmetrical marking on his forehead
00:48:38But look Mike, he has burn marks on both hands
00:48:44Cause?
00:48:45Too early to say
00:48:52Did you burn another circle yesterday on fairway 6?
00:48:55No
00:48:56Did you see anyone this morning on the course?
00:48:59No
00:49:00Was the circle a perfect circle?
00:49:04So, who died?
00:49:06I can't say
00:49:07It could have been the thief
00:49:09What thief?
00:49:10I just called into your station to report it
00:49:12Last night someone broke in here and stole my flamethrower
00:49:15And my favourite drop cloth
00:49:17Hence the tarpaulin
00:49:18Well, modesty is important
00:49:20I'll get fingerprints in here to see if they can pick anything up
00:49:23Until then, don't touch anything
00:49:25But I already put the tarp on so technically I've touched it
00:49:29I can see that
00:49:32So if I was to slowly approach that shape
00:49:36And pull the tarp off
00:49:37Would you try and hit me with a shovel?
00:49:39I truly am sorry about that
00:49:43No, hold on
00:49:45I'll do it
00:49:56You can't tell anyone
00:49:58It's a surprise for me kids
00:49:59It's going to be a float for their school fundraiser
00:50:02So when you said some things don't belong in this world
00:50:05I just don't want Janet finding out
00:50:08Last year I made a Thomas the Tank engine
00:50:10You should have seen this thing
00:50:12It was so good
00:50:15Anyway, Janet busted me
00:50:16She accused me of using this shed for moonlighting
00:50:18And she threatened to fire me
00:50:20She can't know
00:50:21I can work with that
00:50:24And you know it's perfect, right?
00:50:26Really?
00:50:27Yeah
00:50:28It's absolutely perfect
00:50:35Tash claims she didn't burn the circle
00:50:38But her flamethrower and her drop cloth were stolen last night
00:50:41Shut the entire course down
00:50:42I'll be there
00:50:43I'll put a search team together
00:50:46Gina, can you get me some grass, son?
00:50:48Mike, you should know by now that I always know what you want
00:50:50What the hell's going on here?
00:50:52Another person has been found dead
00:50:54Walk with me
00:50:55Who was it?
00:50:57And what's all this gear on my fairway?
00:50:58It's too early to tell
00:50:59Have you seen anyone on the golf course this morning?
00:51:02Your cop on the gate turned away the first place about 20 minutes ago
00:51:04Okay, have you been on the fairway this morning?
00:51:06No
00:51:07We need to close the entire golf course until further notice
00:51:12When can I get my walking pole back?
00:51:15When you stop assaulting people with it
00:51:19Get on with it then
00:51:20A little more?
00:51:22A little more
00:51:23Oh, too much
00:51:25Uh, Ms. Belfin
00:51:26Could we have a word, please?
00:51:29This is about Luke, isn't it?
00:51:31He's been abducted
00:51:31We came by looking this morning, but we didn't get a warm reception
00:51:34Did you see flashing lights indicating the spaceship's departure?
00:51:39He's already said he's been told to say nothing
00:51:40Maybe he's a robocop that missed getting the speech chip installed
00:51:43Kirk, please be respectful
00:51:44Yes, I think his silence is a really good sign
00:51:46The cops are in full-on cover-up mode
00:51:48Luke has been abducted
00:51:50He's probably communing with the cosmic overlords right now
00:51:54Detective, please, there is no need to cover this up
00:51:57It's positive news
00:52:00Luke, LaMaro's body was found on the course this morning
00:52:04Oh, damn
00:52:05Damn, damn
00:52:06Oh my god, it's another triple-A event
00:52:08There's no evidence to suggest that
00:52:10Two deaths, days apart, at the same location?
00:52:13Of course it's another abduction attempt
00:52:15Is there a crop circle?
00:52:16Once again, there was a burnt circle of grass which appears to be man-made
00:52:20But you can't be sure
00:52:21How stupid are you?
00:52:23Can you not see the parallels?
00:52:24Did he have a head injury?
00:52:26And an unusual marking on his forehead
00:52:28There you go!
00:52:29God damn it, we missed it, damn it
00:52:32Zelda, could I look at your model spaceship again, please?
00:52:34Yeah, Christopher, please
00:52:38Do you think he suffered?
00:52:40I should never lift him alone
00:52:45Identical, that says it all
00:52:46They came for me after all, they're here
00:52:50Oh, oh
00:52:52Um, Detective Shepard, please follow me
00:52:56But why is he dead?
00:52:58Well, that's a good question
00:52:59And when we find the offender, we will be asking them that
00:53:02Just as a matter of interest
00:53:04Where were you two this morning between 3 and 5am?
00:53:07Asleep in my motel, missing all the action
00:53:09Alone with your dreams, I guess
00:53:10You got it
00:53:11Mm-hmm
00:53:12And you, Christopher?
00:53:13Ripping up the sheets, eh, Chris?
00:53:15Yeah, I was with Zelda
00:53:20Christopher, you are something out of this world
00:53:25Yes, I was, uh, occupied
00:53:27Stop pointing your finger at us
00:53:29They killed Luke
00:53:30They killed Luke because he was going to reveal top secret intel today in his keynote speech
00:53:35He had proof that aliens live among us
00:53:37When you say they
00:53:39You, they, them, the SIS, CIA, FBI, governments
00:53:44Luke's blood is on their hands, your hands, every last one of them
00:53:49Your overhead project is on fire
00:53:52Here's the original
00:53:54Luke's marking is exactly the same as the crop circle the aliens made in 2010 at the music festival when
00:54:00I was abducted
00:54:02And you were found in that circle?
00:54:04Yes
00:54:05Oh my god, it's a message
00:54:07Marking Luke with your design is saying they want you
00:54:10Why would they kill him?
00:54:12Well, miscalculation, unintentional, I'm sure
00:54:14Military assassination, more likely
00:54:16Everyone's opinion is welcome
00:54:18Down at the station
00:54:29So, what were you guys doing at the golf course last night?
00:54:31Uh, I was in charge of the lighting and sound system
00:54:34And playing the music?
00:54:35Yeah, playing the music
00:54:38Impressive
00:54:39Yeah, I did great one piano as a kid
00:54:41I know my way around the keys
00:54:42It's not about how many notes, it's playing them or feeling
00:54:45And staying awake
00:54:47Oh, come on, right too soon
00:54:48Todd!
00:54:50He had one job
00:54:51Look, playing score intergalactically could be my big break
00:54:54Like the biggest stage, actually the biggest
00:54:56And it's still expanding
00:54:59How well did you know the victim, Luke Lemaro?
00:55:01Uh, not at all
00:55:02Nah, but he was awesome
00:55:04Yeah, yeah, real nice guy
00:55:05Yeah, hanging in there even after Zelda shut it down and sent us home
00:55:08Yeah, so brave, paid the ultimate price
00:55:11For man and alien kind
00:55:20I understand that Luke was some kind of offering to attract the aliens?
00:55:25But not a sacrificial one
00:55:27Luke was to be abducted, just as I was
00:55:30To be used as an interspecies cultural exchange
00:55:33Before being returned to us safely
00:55:36Was there anyone in your group, perhaps
00:55:39Earth-based, shall we say
00:55:40Who had any issues with Luke?
00:55:43Of course not
00:55:44We were all rooting for him
00:55:46And we all wanted him to succeed
00:55:48Did you and Luke get along?
00:55:50Sure, he's a believer
00:55:52A bit mainstream, but committed
00:55:55You're very committed too, aren't you Kirk?
00:55:57I believe in alien life
00:55:59It's no crime
00:56:00I didn't say it was
00:56:04Why didn't you volunteer to be abducted?
00:56:07My time will come
00:56:09Zelda has the connection
00:56:10She believed Luke was the one
00:56:13How did that make you feel?
00:56:16Fine
00:56:16Your relationship with Christopher Kramer
00:56:19He's such a sweet man
00:56:21Yet you didn't choose for him to be abducted
00:56:25He wasn't ready
00:56:26Christopher can be a little
00:56:29Anxious at times
00:56:30And the aliens seek constancy
00:56:32Or maybe you were fearful of losing him
00:56:35Why would I think that?
00:56:36Perhaps you knew that whoever went into that circle
00:56:39Would die
00:56:41How well did you get on with Luke?
00:56:44Oh, as well as I did with any of the other members
00:56:47Do you know if he had any enemies?
00:56:49Anyone he didn't get on with?
00:56:51No
00:56:52Well, yes, actually, um, maybe
00:56:58Is that multiple choice?
00:57:03Do you have something you want to share?
00:57:07Do I want to?
00:57:08No
00:57:10Should I?
00:57:11I don't know
00:57:12No
00:57:13I mean I could
00:57:16Look, this has to stay between us
00:57:18Well that depends on whether or not what you've got to say is any value
00:57:21If it's just more conspiracy theory then sure, it won't go any further
00:57:24No, it's not
00:57:25Really Christopher?
00:57:27Are you sure you're not just wasting my time?
00:57:30What I say and believe has value
00:57:32I am a fully integrated member of society
00:57:35Then prove it
00:57:36What do you know?
00:57:38I saw Luke and Kirk the other night
00:57:41Arguing
00:57:42About alien weaponry or?
00:57:44I don't know
00:57:45I couldn't make it out but it was heated
00:57:48Intense
00:57:50When was this?
00:57:51Three nights ago
00:57:53Where?
00:57:54Here
00:57:55On the side of the station
00:57:57What were they doing?
00:57:59Kirk had petrol, he wanted to burn the station gun and Luke was trying to stop him
00:58:04And why would Kirk want to do that?
00:58:06Because he knows a lot
00:58:07Every station has one, it's criminal
00:58:10Like a scrambling device?
00:58:11An electronic beacon
00:58:13Sprays the night sky to interfere with the extraterrestrial spacecraft
00:58:16Police stations don't have those
00:58:19I'm starting to wonder about you
00:58:20You committed or not?
00:58:24And you just happened to be across the road while Kirk was trying to torch the place
00:58:31Yes
00:58:33Doing my best to be a fully integrated member of society
00:58:43There you go, 11.27pm, three nights ago
00:58:49So Chris Kramer was telling the truth
00:58:51First time for everything
00:58:56A witness claims that several nights ago you and Luke Lamarro had an altercation outside this police station
00:59:03He was preventing you from committing arson
00:59:10We have it on CCTV
00:59:17So what?
00:59:19I didn't do it?
00:59:20I thought you were clearly very angry with Luke
00:59:22Yeah, he stopped me from setting things right
00:59:26I know what goes on here
00:59:27I know you have an electronic beacon on the roof of this building
00:59:30Sending interference scrambling into planetary communications
00:59:33That interference is probably what caused the malfunction on the spacecraft
00:59:36Which led to the death of Luke and the other guy
00:59:39It's you who are responsible
00:59:42You're right Kirk
00:59:43We do have an electronic beacon on the roof
00:59:45Okay, you actually admit it
00:59:47It's called a shortwave radio
00:59:49We use it in emergencies in a bid to help save lives
00:59:53You're going to be charged with attempted arson
00:59:55What? I didn't do it
00:59:57I think the key word here is attempted
01:00:00I'll be back shortly with the paperwork
01:00:05Wow, and I thought Chris Kramer was crazy
01:00:08We still don't have enough
01:00:12Kirk and Luke would butt heads occasionally
01:00:15Differing opinions, but
01:00:17Kirk would never go that far
01:00:18Not to hurt Luke
01:00:20While he was prepared to burn down the police station
01:00:24Posturing, I'm sure
01:00:25Back to last night, you called off the ceremony, why?
01:00:29We were feeling the cold
01:00:30I'm guessing it was around 2am
01:00:32I fear I have failed you again
01:00:41It's not your fault
01:00:42Maybe it's Luke
01:00:44He's just not ready
01:00:49Everyone, listen up
01:00:52Frodo, please
01:00:56I think we should call it a night
01:00:58I apologize to you all
01:01:01I've led you all down another blind alley
01:01:04In this case, a cold, dark alley without cosmic light
01:01:10Tomorrow I will resign as the president of-
01:01:12Zelda, you can't
01:01:13No, it's too late, I'm too tired to talk
01:01:15Let's pack up and go
01:01:18Luke
01:01:19Wait, wait, wait
01:01:20I'm staying
01:01:21I'm certain they're coming for me
01:01:24I'm happy to stay on my own
01:01:26Oh, gosh, Luke, your dedication is so moving
01:01:31I want you to take over from me
01:01:33You must lead up from here
01:01:36And just...
01:01:37Just think about it
01:01:46I'll see a big conflitazi to the masters from you
01:01:51Thank you, Luke
01:01:52You are a hero
01:02:00Come on, people, let's go
01:02:07Just...
01:02:07No
01:02:18That was the last time I ever saw Luke
01:02:22So self-absorbed I didn't even look back
01:02:25He's such a brave man
01:02:29You and Christopher, you went home?
01:02:31Back to Christopher's, yes
01:02:37Excuse me
01:02:41Kristen Sims
01:02:42Hi, it's Freya
01:02:50I hope you didn't call me here just to help with these
01:02:53I'm so over it
01:02:55You know, washing dishes is a little outside my job description
01:02:59Lucky you
01:03:04So...
01:03:04It could be nothing
01:03:06Try me
01:03:07I was unloading the car just before
01:03:09Need a hand there?
01:03:12Um...
01:03:12No, I'm all good
01:03:13So that thing the other day with your boss
01:03:15It's no biggie, right?
01:03:17Jacob's dead
01:03:18I know, and it had nothing to do with me
01:03:20I didn't even know the guy
01:03:22If you say so
01:03:23I do
01:03:24So we're all good?
01:03:27Um...
01:03:27What did he mean by...
01:03:29That thing the other day?
01:03:32Jacob used to park outside on the yellow lines
01:03:34He'd always get tickets
01:03:36Then a few days ago he was getting towed and it got ugly
01:03:39You can't tow me man, this is my restaurant
01:03:41Park it all the time
01:03:42Hey, hey, you're a thug, you know that mate?
01:03:46It costs a line mate
01:03:47Don't ever start while you can't finish
01:03:49Just breathe, breathe
01:03:52I never grabbed someone from behind
01:03:54That was a dumb move
01:03:59There may be nothing but...
01:04:01No, thanks Frey, you've been a big help
01:04:02Oh, and the dishes are...
01:04:04What if I could?
01:04:14Hi Bud
01:04:16We need to talk
01:04:25You lied to me Bud
01:04:29About not knowing Jacob Lewis
01:04:32We have a witness who saw you tow his car from outside his burger restaurant
01:04:38So do you admit to towing Jacob Lewis' car?
01:04:42Yes
01:04:42And do you admit to punching Mr Lewis in the stomach?
01:04:48Do you know why I like my job?
01:04:51Tell me
01:04:52Of course it's a job
01:04:53After my conviction it was the only job I could get
01:04:56I need a job to pay my rent while I'm training
01:04:58I'm training to be a decathlete
01:05:00That's my dream
01:05:01I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise that
01:05:03That doesn't really answer my question
01:05:04Did the witness also say it was self defence?
01:05:06That Lewis had a go at me first or nah, they left that part out
01:05:14I'm going to ask you again
01:05:16The day before yesterday morning
01:05:18Did you see Jacob Lewis between 7am and 8am at the Broken Wood golf course?
01:05:23No
01:05:25After you got the towing call out
01:05:27Which direction did you leave the course?
01:05:29Towards the car park of course
01:05:35If this is the car park
01:05:37Where were you training?
01:05:39I don't know
01:05:39I'm not a golfer
01:05:40I'm just looking for open space, you know
01:05:43Jacob Lewis was found dead on the 13th fairway
01:05:47We know he was killed by a blow to the head
01:05:50The wound matching the curvature of your discus
01:05:53We know that you and the victim argued the day before
01:05:57Which leads us to believe there was some intent behind the discus hitting Mr Lewis
01:06:01No
01:06:01Oh come on bud
01:06:04You lost your cool, it had happened before
01:06:07I videoed myself
01:06:08What?
01:06:09I filmed myself so I can watch my form
01:06:15There was a new perfect throw by the way
01:06:17Felt right on the money
01:06:21And that's when I got the phone call
01:06:25Here bud
01:06:25Yeah
01:06:26Free for a job?
01:06:27Yeah for sure
01:06:28Car v car?
01:06:29No it's ours
01:06:29Don't tell him more
01:06:30I'll be there fine
01:06:32Copy
01:06:38We will need a copy of this video
01:06:40The weapon could be a golf club
01:06:42But hard to say without the actual club to make a match
01:06:45But the head injury was fatal?
01:06:47No Mike
01:06:48The cause of that was cardiac arrest
01:06:50He suffered severe arrhythmia
01:06:52Caused by?
01:06:53It was triggered by an electrical shock
01:06:55See?
01:06:56This indicates the entry point of the electrical current
01:07:01Given the storm last night, could he have been struck by lightning?
01:07:04Highly unlikely
01:07:05For him to be struck by a lightning bolt on both hands
01:07:07He must have been playing volleyball
01:07:10Volleyball?
01:07:11Like this
01:07:12Or this
01:07:13I love volleyball
01:07:14Have you ever played Mike?
01:07:16Not in a very long time
01:07:19Could Luke's hands and the grass have been burned by the same source?
01:07:23No
01:07:24A naked flame burned the grass
01:07:25Oh
01:07:28And the mark on his head?
01:07:31Freshly done
01:07:32Within the last 18 hours
01:07:33The ink
01:07:34Is mark a pen
01:07:36Beach volleyball
01:07:38Is my favourite
01:07:38The men wear swimming briefs
01:07:41In Russia
01:07:42They are called plafki
01:07:44And they are?
01:07:45Budgie smugglers Mike
01:07:47Very athletic
01:07:48For the wet
01:07:58People
01:08:04That's it!
01:08:0768 m
01:08:08That's it!
01:08:15That's it!
01:08:1868 m
01:08:21The tow truck call-out centre verified that Brad Johnson received a call from them at 7.04am.
01:08:27And his video puts him exactly here.
01:08:31He's our man.
01:08:39We're satisfied there was no intent to injure Jacob Luce.
01:08:43And I swear no one's that accurate.
01:08:4568 metres.
01:08:47At the point of contact, yes.
01:08:49Wow.
01:08:50I know.
01:08:51I looked it up.
01:08:53Connor Bell's New Zealand record is 69.5 metres.
01:08:57Repeat 68 and you'll qualify for the Commonwealth Games.
01:09:01I still killed a bloke, though, didn't I?
01:09:07It played out, then.
01:09:10Death by a careless use of an Olympic-approved sporting implement.
01:09:13One down, one to go.
01:09:15Are we calling it?
01:09:16It's another homicide.
01:09:18Luke Lomaro was electrocuted.
01:09:21Senior?
01:09:22Ah, thanks.
01:09:25Is that what a Belfin's on her way in?
01:09:28Do you perhaps need Christopher as your support person?
01:09:31No, no, no, I'm fine.
01:09:36We've been so shaken by Luke's death.
01:09:39He's struggling as well, I can tell.
01:09:42And, uh...
01:09:44I'm struggling to conceal it from him.
01:09:47What do you need to conceal?
01:09:51That, um...
01:09:55I'm responsible for Luke's death.
01:09:58Both deaths in actuality.
01:10:01Go on.
01:10:03It started with a seed of negativity.
01:10:06Depressive thoughts stemming from the disappointment that I have been unable to physically reconnect with the aliens.
01:10:13And from that seed, there has been slow but malignant growth.
01:10:17That growth creates negative energy vibrations, which in turn quaver out into the cosmos.
01:10:27The rest, I'm sure I don't need to explain.
01:10:31No, uh, please enlighten us.
01:10:34Well, the aliens absorb those vibrations.
01:10:36They involuntarily act upon them by travelling here, creating an interspecies, co-killing, unwittingly orchestrated by myself.
01:10:51They are the bullet.
01:10:53But I am most definitely the gun.
01:10:57Well, it may come as some relief to know that, with regards to Jacob Lewis's death, there was no alien
01:11:06involvement.
01:11:07You seem sure.
01:11:08I am.
01:11:09Mr Lewis was killed by an Earth-based object.
01:11:12An accident.
01:11:14I detect cynicism, detective, and I thought we were past that.
01:11:18Not cynicism.
01:11:19Fact.
01:11:20And Luke?
01:11:22That is more perplexing.
01:11:26I left him out there like a lamb to the slaughter.
01:11:31I lay awake, trying to stop those negative vibrations emanating.
01:11:36Holding them back.
01:11:37Good to no avail.
01:11:40With Christopher.
01:11:42What?
01:11:43You lay awake with Christopher.
01:11:45I didn't hear him.
01:11:47But you were in bed together.
01:11:49Did he tell you that?
01:11:52Awkwardly, yes.
01:11:53Yeah, I was with Zelda.
01:11:57Occupied.
01:11:58Christopher.
01:11:59Bless him.
01:12:00What do you mean?
01:12:01Well, Christopher is an interesting man.
01:12:03But he's not ready for some things.
01:12:06And nor am I in that regard.
01:12:10Even though he's your fiancé?
01:12:14Christopher would like to be my fiancé.
01:12:17But, well, perhaps one day when we're both ready.
01:12:22So, I'm confused.
01:12:25I'm still married.
01:12:26I have been for 16 years.
01:12:40Ah, just the man we wanted to see.
01:12:42Well, I don't want to see you.
01:12:43Ah, Kirk, the feeling is entirely mutual.
01:12:46We're not interested in you.
01:12:47You can bugger off.
01:12:47You can't say that.
01:12:48I just did.
01:12:49Go on.
01:12:49Get out of here.
01:12:53Ah, convention's finished.
01:12:54We're holding a visual for Luke tonight.
01:12:56A few questions first.
01:12:57Sure.
01:12:58Yeah, I'll just put this in the car.
01:12:59No, no.
01:13:00Questions first.
01:13:02Sure.
01:13:03Yeah.
01:13:03Um, yeah, questions are good.
01:13:04They provide answers like, like, um, how long's a piece of string?
01:13:08And what's in the box?
01:13:11No idea.
01:13:11It's not my box.
01:13:12I'm just holding it for a friend.
01:13:13Oh, let's take a look then, shall we?
01:13:18Allow me.
01:13:22Hey!
01:13:23Hey!
01:13:24Hey!
01:13:26Where's the height?
01:13:27Hey!
01:13:31Come on.
01:13:37You've got nothing.
01:13:38You can try, but you'll never take me down.
01:13:43What was that last bit?
01:13:44I didn't quite hear you.
01:13:45This is your car, Christopher?
01:13:47No!
01:13:52No.
01:14:02Oh, Christopher.
01:14:05I don't know.
01:14:06I don't know.
01:14:09I don't know.
01:14:11I don't know.
01:14:16I don't know.
01:14:19I don't know.
01:14:20I don't know.
01:14:21I don't know.
01:14:22I don't know.
01:14:22I don't know.
01:14:22I don't know.
01:14:23I don't know.
01:14:23I don't know.
01:14:34Sorry to keep you waiting, Christopher.
01:14:36Just had to verify a few things.
01:14:44This is the property of the Brokenwood Golf Course.
01:14:48How did it end up in your car?
01:14:51Never seen it before.
01:14:52Even though your fingerprints are all over it, it's strange.
01:14:57This drop cloth and this golf club, again the property of the Brokenwood Golf Club, were also in your car.
01:15:05How do you explain that?
01:15:08Obviously someone's broken into my vehicle and put them both there.
01:15:11Who?
01:15:12I think it might be Kirk.
01:15:14Why would Kirk want to do that?
01:15:17Ask him.
01:15:18We might just do that.
01:15:20And while we're at it, ask him how he managed to get your fingerprints all over the items.
01:15:24Are they really?
01:15:25Uh, yep.
01:15:26Here they are.
01:15:29And the other interesting thing about this is the, um, the grass residue.
01:15:33There is a pattern here to here.
01:15:40It's like the grass has all been flattened in the one direction.
01:15:43A flow from the outside to the center.
01:15:47Which in itself might mean very little, except...
01:15:51And this grass, it's a definite match to the samples from the fake crop circle.
01:15:57That place is this drop cloth at the crime scene.
01:16:03From now on, no more extraterrestrial excuses, Christopher.
01:16:08We're dealing in facts.
01:16:10Your fingerprints on stolen items traceable to the crime scene.
01:16:14Did you kill Luke Lamarro?
01:16:17No.
01:16:19No.
01:16:19Christopher, where were you between 3 and 5am this morning?
01:16:22In my home.
01:16:24Alone?
01:16:25No.
01:16:25I was but, you know, Zelda.
01:16:28In the same room or separate?
01:16:29The same room.
01:16:30In the bedroom?
01:16:31Yes, of course.
01:16:33Was she sleeping?
01:16:34Why does that matter?
01:16:35If she was sleeping, she wouldn't be able to verify that you remained in the house between 3 and 5am.
01:16:43She was not sleeping.
01:16:45You sure about that?
01:16:46Yes, of course, because we were, you know...
01:16:51What?
01:16:54We were expressing our love.
01:16:59Sex.
01:17:01For two hours?
01:17:04Yes, two hours.
01:17:07Wow, that's a lot of love, given you had such a big night waiting for a close encounter with alien
01:17:13kind.
01:17:13Well, she was feeling down and she, um, she needed comfort.
01:17:17The thing is, Christopher, that doesn't really line up with Zelda's version of events.
01:17:21I'm still married.
01:17:23Married to you?
01:17:24When I was abducted aboard the alien spacecraft, there was a marriage ceremony.
01:17:32Sadly, we didn't have time to consummate.
01:17:35So I have been keeping myself ready for that day.
01:17:40So, uh, no, um, Christopher and I are in a platonic relationship, and to make things easier on Christopher, we
01:17:49do not share a bit.
01:17:50They, they will comfort him.
01:17:53And I'm not so sure anymore.
01:17:55Good night.
01:17:57Good night.
01:17:58So, if in between 3 and 5 a.m. you weren't comforting your almost but not quite yet fiancé with
01:18:07two hours of your manhood, then what were you doing?
01:18:12Let me jog your memory.
01:18:14You were feeling overlooked.
01:18:16Can I please have a volunteer to offer themselves up as an abductee?
01:18:21Oh, Christopher.
01:18:22No, sorry.
01:18:23We already have a volunteer.
01:18:25We don't want the Cosmic Ovalors to have to choose between the two of you.
01:18:29As Zelda's most devoted follower must have hurt you a little.
01:18:33Hurt choosing Luke over you.
01:18:37Teaching him Agonese.
01:18:40Favouring him over you.
01:18:43I want you to take over from me.
01:18:45You must lead up from here.
01:18:47But you...
01:18:48Just think about it.
01:18:52Luke, you are the Chosen One.
01:18:57Klax Galan, any martyrs, Plenica Ghorne.
01:19:01You are the Chosen One.
01:19:05So, even with Zelda lying awake, the fact that you didn't share a room meant that you were able to
01:19:11slip out of the house.
01:19:16Into the Greenkeeper's shed where you knew a flamethrower was kept.
01:19:20And any number of potentially lethal weapons.
01:19:23Well, it ain't a carnation, but the flower was reared.
01:19:28I followed him down like the message had said.
01:19:31And left it all to junior who was soft in the head.
01:19:35Singing, only the dead die young.
01:19:38Ooh, do I just have to let it go?
01:19:46Ooh, do I just have to turn around?
01:19:57What better way to validate Zelda's beliefs?
01:20:02And remove your competition?
01:20:10But it didn't kill him, did it, Christopher?
01:20:13That blow?
01:20:16Didn't kill him, did it?
01:20:20No.
01:20:23I, um, had to make it look like there'd been a visit.
01:20:26My cosmic master.
01:20:28You know, you can't have to burn the size of the breed.
01:20:32You gotta choose yourself a head for your sizable head.
01:20:35And choose another lover for their side of the beard.
01:20:39We'll stay out and never go home.
01:20:42I, uh, pisky gloves.
01:20:44You, do I just have to tell it known.
01:20:50You, you.
01:20:53Pisky gloves.
01:20:56Pisky.
01:20:57Pesky
01:20:58Gloves
01:21:04Man
01:21:08Man
01:21:32What does this mean?
01:21:35It means you killed Luke Lamarro to embrace your girlfriend.
01:21:42I'm no longer a fully integrated member of society.
01:21:47Am I?
01:22:11It's not empty, Todd.
01:22:14Nah.
01:22:15We put in the hard yards, though.
01:22:17No way. You never know what you'll find out there.
01:22:19For a record?
01:22:20I hate golf.
01:22:21But the beach volleyball, Mike.
01:22:24I don't think you'd be a natural.
01:22:33I don't know what it is with this dog.
01:22:35He keeps circling back to these burgers.
01:22:37I have a triple-truttle supreme.
01:22:39I'm rather hoping you still offer the holy sinner double cheese.
01:22:42Well, it's better and beetroot fondue.
01:22:44Coming right up.
01:22:46Marvellous.
01:22:47Yummy.
01:22:47Oh, God. I so love pigs.
01:22:50And cats, of course, as you can see.
01:22:52But pigs, they're the cutest thing.
01:22:55Interesting fact.
01:22:56If you died and fell into his pen, he'd eat all of you over time, leaving only your teeth and
01:23:02your hair.
