00:00:08Hello?
00:00:11What the hell?
00:00:15Is there anybody here?
00:00:19Jesus, wit.
00:00:26Trude?
00:00:28Trudy?
00:00:30What the hell?
00:00:32Ray?
00:00:33Is she?
00:00:35Are you...
00:00:37Did you...
00:00:39Are you all?
00:00:40You're okay, Trude, you're okay.
00:01:00I'm not going back.
00:01:04I'm not going back.
00:01:11Oh, God, help me.
00:01:12Damn it.
00:01:13If you mouth shut, girl, wouldn't wanna be too honest in a shotgun world.
00:01:21Would you wanna hear you cry?
00:01:23Oh!
00:01:24Leave your tears at the table when you're walking out the door.
00:01:49In conclusion, nothing out of the ordinary.
00:01:52The craniectomy show clear indication of a traumatic aneurysm.
00:01:56Thanks, Gina.
00:01:57Fold it on to me, and I'll pass it on to the coroner.
00:02:00Tell me, Mike, what is your favorite Italian dish?
00:02:04I love spagetta la puttanesca.
00:02:07Olives, capere, anchovies, garlic.
00:02:12A bit salty.
00:02:13I am partial to a lasagna.
00:02:15Of course.
00:02:16A traditional working man's meal.
00:02:18After a hard day's work in the field,
00:02:21you call into your local trattoria
00:02:22and replenish your weary bones with hearty food and a candy.
00:02:27Well, there you go.
00:02:29So, I've been thinking perhaps you'd like to join me for dinner tonight
00:02:32at the Porcci Piccione.
00:02:33Ray Nielsen's new place.
00:02:35As part of the Broknot Top Italian Restaurant Competition,
00:02:38he has been running 241 Special this week.
00:02:41So, it's my shout.
00:02:43Not because I'm cheap.
00:02:44But I like to support local business.
00:02:46Of course.
00:02:47You will?
00:02:48What?
00:02:48You will join me?
00:02:51Well...
00:02:52Ah, excuse me.
00:02:53Of course.
00:02:56Kristen.
00:02:56Mike, we have a suspected homicide at Romano Ray's.
00:02:59All right.
00:03:00I'm on my way.
00:03:05Gina, let's go to the Porcci Piccione.
00:03:08Oh, Mike.
00:03:09Now, if you don't mind.
00:03:10Now?
00:03:11They don't do breakfast.
00:03:12It won't be open.
00:03:13And you're going to need your kit.
00:03:22I'll just wait here a moment, Ray.
00:03:25Hi.
00:03:26It's not pretty in there.
00:03:28Ah, stand by, Gina.
00:03:47Stabbed?
00:03:48No sign of an obvious murder weapon.
00:03:50Do we know who she is?
00:03:52Driver's license has her as a Betty Reynolds.
00:03:55Known to Ray?
00:03:57No.
00:03:58Well, I wouldn't say I knew her.
00:04:00But she's familiar to you?
00:04:02In passing, perhaps?
00:04:03Was she dining here last night?
00:04:05No.
00:04:05So any idea how she ended up in your restaurant?
00:04:08Trattoria.
00:04:09And no.
00:04:10I simply walked in there.
00:04:13And there she was.
00:04:15And then I contacted you lot immediately.
00:04:18And then you put on your porky pigeon suit?
00:04:20Yes.
00:04:22Why would you do that?
00:04:24Shock.
00:04:25It can make a man feel the cold.
00:04:28There's a tear here.
00:04:37A knife, maybe?
00:04:48You're genuine.
00:04:54Gina.
00:04:57Hello, Betty.
00:04:59Whatever happened here suggests that there was a tussle.
00:05:02Or a tarantella.
00:05:04Or both.
00:05:06Regardless.
00:05:07It seems that you came off second best.
00:05:09But we'll get you out of here as soon as we can.
00:05:11Make you more comfortable.
00:05:13Mike.
00:05:15Good news.
00:05:16They have spaghetti alla putanesca on the menu.
00:05:20And lasagna.
00:05:22The victim is yours.
00:05:30There's a trail that goes from the kitchen to this booth here.
00:05:36And then out to the front door.
00:05:43It's not the trail that starts here.
00:05:45It goes to where the victim is.
00:05:50Okay.
00:05:51That's her shoe print.
00:05:53There are other prints.
00:05:54And someone's tried to clean up.
00:05:56Hmm.
00:05:58Hmm.
00:06:01Hmm.
00:06:02Hmm.
00:06:03Hmm.
00:06:04Hmm.
00:06:04Hmm.
00:06:05Hmm.
00:06:08Hmm.
00:06:29Ray.
00:06:30What's the start to your day?
00:06:32I've had better.
00:06:35Would you mind taking off your shoe?
00:06:37Why?
00:06:38So I can match the tread to some prints in there.
00:06:41It's just a loafer.
00:06:43Dime a dozen.
00:06:44All the same.
00:06:53When you got here this morning, were you on your own?
00:06:56I arrived by myself.
00:06:57There seems to have been a lot of activity in there.
00:07:00Well, I guess you get that when someone tries to knife somebody.
00:07:03Probably teenagers looking for cash.
00:07:06Clearly one of those shoe prints will be mine.
00:07:08I didn't know what I'd walked into until it was too late.
00:07:11Another will be the dead woman's and another the person that topped her, right?
00:07:15Except there were four.
00:07:18Excuse me.
00:07:21Chalmers.
00:07:21Mike.
00:07:22Trudy Nielsen's been found unconscious with a possible stab wound, Waterford Road.
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:28Copy that.
00:07:29Thanks.
00:07:33Ray, your sister Trudy has been found in the middle of Waterford Road with a suspected stab wound.
00:07:39She's been stabbed?
00:07:40Less than 400 yards from here.
00:07:43Ray.
00:07:44I found this in your rubbish bin.
00:07:47Does it look familiar to you?
00:07:48I'd say it was a pizza cutter.
00:07:50Covered in what I first thought was pizza sauce, but it's not, is it?
00:07:57I need to see Trudy.
00:07:58What the hell is going on, Ray?
00:08:02Where is she?
00:08:03I need to see her.
00:08:05Where is she?
00:08:06You are...
00:08:07Her mother.
00:08:08I'm Trudy Nielsen's mother.
00:08:10Mrs. Nielsen.
00:08:11Spencer, my name is Eileen Spencer, and I want to see my daughter.
00:08:14Mrs. Spencer?
00:08:15She is still in surgery.
00:08:17Oh, my God.
00:08:19Please, take a seat, and I will update you as soon as I have some news.
00:08:24Yes.
00:08:24Yes, yes, of course.
00:08:26A seat.
00:08:26Yes.
00:08:33Mr. Spencer, this is DC Chalmers.
00:08:36Why are you here?
00:08:38We believe that Trudy was a victim of a stabbing, and we need to talk to her as soon as
00:08:44she's
00:08:45able.
00:08:46Why would anyone want to stab my Trudy?
00:08:50That's what we need to talk to her about.
00:08:52She needs to talk to her mother first.
00:08:54Yes, of course, but right now...
00:08:56No, absolutely not.
00:08:57Imagine coming out of surgery and being grilled by a detective.
00:09:01No, she needs to heal first.
00:09:03Not a word.
00:09:05You understand?
00:09:06I need to be by her side.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:10Kristen.
00:09:12Her mother, Eileen Spencer, has just turned up.
00:09:16Yeah.
00:09:16I'll keep you posted.
00:09:18I'll be a sweetheart.
00:09:19I'll be a tea.
00:09:20White.
00:09:20No sugar.
00:09:30I want to see my sister.
00:09:32She's still in surgery, Ray.
00:09:34Well, I should be there for when she comes out.
00:09:36Your mother is with her?
00:09:37I'm sure that'll be a great comfort to Trudy.
00:09:40Meaning?
00:09:42Nothing.
00:09:43So do you know what happened?
00:09:45Not yet.
00:09:46We'll have to wait to hear from her.
00:09:48Do you?
00:09:48Me?
00:09:49No.
00:09:50We need a statement from you.
00:09:51Then we'll let you go.
00:09:53Do you want to take your pigeon suit off, Ray?
00:09:54It looks hot.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:56Let's get on with it.
00:09:58The victim, Betty Reynolds.
00:10:01Any idea how she ended up in your restaurant?
00:10:03Trittoria.
00:10:04And no.
00:10:05Did you attempt to clean up the crime scene?
00:10:07Well, I didn't know it was a crime scene.
00:10:09There was a dead woman in one of your booths.
00:10:12Well, maybe I didn't realise it was a crime scene until after I saw her.
00:10:18Maybe.
00:10:18I walked in.
00:10:20I saw blood.
00:10:21I have a C plus food hygiene rating.
00:10:24The last thing I need is blood on the floor of my Trittoria.
00:10:27Especially when it's Restaurant Awards Week.
00:10:30At first I thought that maybe someone had stubbed their toe or...
00:10:35Suffered an amputation?
00:10:37Luigi had spilt some pizza sauce.
00:10:39Luigi is?
00:10:40Was my chef.
00:10:42I fired him.
00:10:44Why?
00:10:44For not doing his job.
00:10:47Are you sure you're alright there, Ray?
00:10:50I'm fine.
00:10:52Do you need a glass of water?
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:55Okay, that'll be good.
00:11:02Well, he's hiding something.
00:11:04That's for sure.
00:11:06From Prince.
00:11:07Oh, thanks.
00:11:11It's a family affair.
00:11:13No, no.
00:11:15Oh, Jesus.
00:11:18Ray?
00:11:18Ray?
00:11:20Get that bloody suit off.
00:11:21Can we get some water in here, please?
00:11:23Okay, take it easy, Ray.
00:11:24You just fainted.
00:11:26Whoa.
00:11:30We really need to talk.
00:11:36When I find out who was responsible, I will show no mercy.
00:11:41Eileen.
00:11:42My God.
00:11:43I got you as quick as I could.
00:11:45She will be okay.
00:11:47She's in the right place.
00:11:50Mr. Tridgold.
00:11:52We meet again.
00:11:53Detective Chalmers.
00:11:54Always a pleasure.
00:11:56Lawrence is my accountant.
00:11:57Eileen recently engaged me to do an audit of her finances, and we've become friends.
00:12:04More than that.
00:12:06Indeed.
00:12:07Roommates.
00:12:09Such a sweet man for coming here.
00:12:11Well, there's strength in numbers, Eileen.
00:12:14There is strength in numbers.
00:12:21Whose blood is on your shirt, Ray?
00:12:23You saw the place.
00:12:24It was a war zone.
00:12:26Could be anyone's.
00:12:27The victims?
00:12:28Tell us about last night.
00:12:30Was it busy?
00:12:31It was a roaring trade.
00:12:33It was our official opening.
00:12:34It's taken a lot of effort to get here.
00:12:37What does a piquione mean?
00:12:39Pigeon, obviously.
00:12:41Yeah, and who's Romano Ray?
00:12:43Well, that's me.
00:12:44It's my place.
00:12:46Romano meaning number one Roman.
00:12:49The Romans being the greatest empire in history.
00:12:52You want to be number one?
00:12:54Romano Ray's.
00:12:55It's a name that says aspirational.
00:12:59Romano meant cheese.
00:13:00Yeah, it's hard cheese.
00:13:02What?
00:13:02Cheesy Ray's.
00:13:03That's a good name for a pizza restaurant.
00:13:05It's not a pizza restaurant.
00:13:06It's a trattoria.
00:13:08Hey, Luigi.
00:13:09These clowns are trying to tell me that Romano means cheese.
00:13:13Looks good to me, Ray.
00:13:16See?
00:13:17Straight out of the mouth of an actual Italian.
00:13:20What more do you want?
00:13:21More for me.
00:13:23What?
00:13:24Nothing.
00:13:26We've been trading for a week.
00:13:27Last night was the grand opening.
00:13:33Grazie?
00:13:34Yes, Marius.
00:13:35Buona sera.
00:13:37Welcome to Romano Ray's porky piccioni.
00:13:39Table for two.
00:13:40Buona sera is actually Italian for good evening.
00:13:44Buona means good.
00:13:45Sera means evening.
00:13:47Now, this is an authentic Italian restaurant, which means there's quite a few Italian words
00:13:52on the menu, like spaghetti and pizza, so let me know if you need any help with translation.
00:14:03I think it could be one of them.
00:14:05Too young.
00:14:06What about her?
00:14:07Mystery diners never dine alone, Lena.
00:14:10It's too obvious.
00:14:12No, it'll be a middle-aged man or woman, coupled with a friend.
00:14:17They'll order three courses, with each course being different, the aim of sampling each other's.
00:14:23Keep your eyes peeled and let me know, so I can add a bit of the old Ray Nelson razzle
00:14:29-dazzle.
00:14:30The old razzle-dazzle?
00:14:32Judging for top Italian restaurant in Brokenwood, there's nothing wrong with a complimentary cannoli
00:14:38when you know they're scoring you. Not that it matters now, it's all over.
00:14:42So, you were busy last night, but nothing out of the ordinary?
00:14:45That's right.
00:14:46Who was the mystery diner?
00:14:47Well, I don't know, do I? They were a mystery.
00:14:50Did you lock up?
00:14:51I did. I was the last to leave.
00:14:54Does anyone else have access to the restaurant, keys, alarm codes?
00:14:58Trattoria. And no.
00:15:00Was Trudy working at your Trattoria last night?
00:15:04No.
00:15:05Does she ever work there?
00:15:06No.
00:15:06Did you put this pizza cutter in your rubbish bin outside?
00:15:11I did.
00:15:12A kitchen implement smeared with blood and left on the floor is unhygienic.
00:15:18I did what I had to do.
00:15:22Who was at the door?
00:15:23My window cleaner.
00:15:27What in, Ray?
00:15:27What do you want?
00:15:28Windows. I'll start a siding.
00:15:29No, no. No, it's fine.
00:15:31I'm pretty sure I can see a smear.
00:15:32No. Looks good to me.
00:15:35Good night last night.
00:15:36Yes.
00:15:37Go away.
00:15:46Your fingerprints were on the pizza cutter.
00:15:48I just told you I threw it away.
00:15:50And so are Trudy's.
00:15:52Why would Trudy's fingerprints be on it?
00:15:55Well, obviously she visits the Trattoria from time to time. Perhaps she made a pizza.
00:16:00You said she wasn't there yesterday.
00:16:02She wasn't.
00:16:03And you said that you're very concerned about food safety.
00:16:06I am.
00:16:09So, if you cleaned this pizza cutter from the previous shift, ready for yesterday's trade, and Trudy didn't visit your
00:16:17Trattoria, then how come her prints are all over it?
00:16:20I don't know.
00:16:21Oh, come on, Ray.
00:16:22Your sister was found down the road from your restaurant.
00:16:26Trattoria.
00:16:27Suffering from a suspected stab wound.
00:16:29And her prints are all over a bloodied pizza cutter next to a dead woman in your Trattoria.
00:16:37So, talk to us, Ray.
00:16:38I'd like to make a phone call.
00:16:42We will need your shirt first.
00:16:47Hey, uh, can you get this to the lab?
00:16:50Thanks.
00:16:51He won't be saying anything more until his lawyer gets here.
00:16:54Well, I'll make her some coffee.
00:16:57Uh, how about we get some Frodos?
00:16:59Uh, my shop.
00:17:00Hmm.
00:17:01No arguments from me.
00:17:02Denise of Kent?
00:17:03Oh, thanks.
00:17:24Hello?
00:17:25It's me.
00:17:26Who's this?
00:17:27Ray, your son.
00:17:30Whatever you do, you need to get rid of Trudy's shoes.
00:17:34Why?
00:17:35They need to disappear.
00:17:41Wrong number.
00:17:42Hmm.
00:17:48Oh, Lawrence.
00:17:50Would you be a darling?
00:17:51There's a florist next door.
00:17:53And perhaps grab a bag of yummy things for when she wakes up.
00:17:57A bag of treats?
00:17:59Yes.
00:18:00A bag.
00:18:01A bag of them.
00:18:02I can manage that.
00:18:16Hey, um, who's the new guy?
00:18:19Uh, it's Luigi.
00:18:20Found him here this morning.
00:18:25Hey!
00:18:25What are you doing here?
00:18:27Frodo.
00:18:28Luigi?
00:18:29Sorry.
00:18:32Wow.
00:18:33Hey, you had a big night.
00:18:35You were great, by the way.
00:18:36Yeah, come here.
00:18:41I'll give you guys a minute.
00:18:42All good.
00:18:44It's not what it looks like.
00:18:46No, cool ass.
00:18:47All good.
00:18:49Stay one of those ladyboys.
00:18:50Oh, it's Luigi.
00:18:52Luigi from Romana Race.
00:18:53Hey, Todd.
00:18:57Okay, uh, why is he wearing a...
00:18:59He's Italian.
00:19:00Turned up to work and he's just there in his dress.
00:19:02So, the good thing is he knows all about coffee, but not a word to Audrey, okay?
00:19:07The dress thing was confusing.
00:19:08Luigi being a guy who is now a friend who likes to dress as a woman.
00:19:12Who's Audrey?
00:19:13Oh, she's my actual girlfriend.
00:19:14She's pretty much my fiancée.
00:19:16I mean, we're not engaged or anything, but if we were, she'd definitely be my fiancée.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:21Wow.
00:19:22May I?
00:19:23Yes.
00:19:24So, um, who is this lucky lady?
00:19:29Oh, Audrey.
00:19:30The most beautiful name in the world.
00:19:31It's actually French.
00:19:32I looked it up.
00:19:33It means noble gas.
00:19:34Nah, noble strength.
00:19:36Yeah, yeah, noble strong gas or something.
00:19:38Anyway, we're totally going the distance.
00:19:39And when he says distance, he means it.
00:19:41Yeah, she's into ultramarathons.
00:19:42So, it's great that Luigi needs a job, because I've got a lot of training to do to keep up.
00:19:47You could run in a marathon.
00:19:48What about your, you know, your leg?
00:19:50Well, yeah, I'm working up to it.
00:19:52I managed 300 metres yesterday.
00:19:54So, if I add 50 metres a day, then we worked out.
00:19:56Uh, Frodo will complete his first ultramarathon by 2032.
00:20:01Great news.
00:20:02Yeah, thanks.
00:20:04Here she comes now.
00:20:06Hey, how'd that feel?
00:20:08Ah, not too bad.
00:20:09Started cramping around the six-hour mark, but I pushed through.
00:20:11Ah, that'll be the build-up of latex acid.
00:20:13You'll need a good rubdown.
00:20:15Audrey, this is Detective Sims.
00:20:17Detective?
00:20:18Oh, it's okay.
00:20:18She's actually quite normal.
00:20:20Thanks, Frodo.
00:20:20Oh, hi.
00:20:21Um, I won't shake your hand.
00:20:22I'm a bit sweaty.
00:20:23Just completed 100k.
00:20:24That's like two marathons plus partial thorn.
00:20:26That's impressive.
00:20:28Yeah, she starts at, like, midnight.
00:20:29Oh.
00:20:31Excuse me.
00:20:32Hello.
00:20:33So, um, how exactly did you two meet?
00:20:36Oh, we bumped into each other.
00:20:37Literally.
00:20:38I was walking Maddie in the forest.
00:20:40Then Maddie wandered off and I couldn't find her.
00:20:42Maddie!
00:20:44Maddie, where are you?
00:20:47Here you are.
00:20:49Naughty donkey.
00:20:51Oh, my gosh.
00:20:53I'm so sorry.
00:20:54That's okay.
00:20:59She invited me out to dinner to make up for it.
00:21:01We've been going strong ever since.
00:21:02Dinner every night.
00:21:03Full romance.
00:21:04Frodo.
00:21:06Sorry.
00:21:07I have to go.
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:09Doing a runner.
00:21:10She does that.
00:21:11Yeah, so graceful.
00:21:13It's like a two-legged gazelle.
00:21:16For you?
00:21:17Oh, yeah.
00:21:18Thanks.
00:21:19Hey, um, what's the latest with Trudy Nielsen?
00:21:21Uh, well, she's out in surgery.
00:21:23Oh, true.
00:21:24She's a photo, that one.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:26All right, see you guys.
00:21:30It's Luigi, isn't it?
00:21:32Yeah.
00:21:32Do you mind if we have a quick word?
00:21:34Okay.
00:21:39You need to keep this to an absolute minimum.
00:21:42She's been right up to the edge.
00:21:47I can't allow it.
00:21:49One at a time.
00:21:57It was the different thing to go like this.
00:22:07Yes, that is my mother.
00:22:10With the Alice Reynolds.
00:22:13Would you like a moment alone?
00:22:22This reminds me of an old Russian saying.
00:22:25The bear who eats their mother's honey will end up in a pot.
00:22:29Meaning?
00:22:30Daughters must respect their mothers, or they will meet a sticky end.
00:22:34If you're Russian, you understand.
00:22:42It's strange how she looks at peace now.
00:22:44You're welcome.
00:22:45I have a few tricks of the trade.
00:22:47When she came in, I can assure you, she didn't look happy at all.
00:22:51Thank you, Gina.
00:22:53What happened to her?
00:22:54We're still in the process of working that out.
00:22:56Her clothes?
00:22:57Where are they?
00:22:58They are in a bag.
00:22:59I'm happy to take them if they're in the way.
00:23:01We need to hold on to them for a while longer, to run some tests.
00:23:05Of course.
00:23:05Sorry.
00:23:06I've just never...
00:23:07No, no.
00:23:08It's a lot to take in.
00:23:09When it's a suitable time, and you're ready, I'd appreciate any background on your mother.
00:23:15I can do that.
00:23:18The time of death was between 1 and 3 a.m.
00:23:20And Gina confirms that this was the weapon used on the victim.
00:23:26The wound is 10 centimeters in length.
00:23:29The damage to her internal organs extensive.
00:23:32It severed a major artery.
00:23:35She would have bleed out in minutes.
00:23:37And we know that this pizza cutter only has two sets of prints on it.
00:23:41Ray Nielsen and Trudy.
00:23:43There were four people at that crime scene.
00:23:45All we know for sure is that this one belonged to the victim.
00:23:51And this one, to Ray.
00:23:55Where are we at with Trudy?
00:23:56Nothing yet.
00:24:06And when she wakes, things will be different.
00:24:11Like they were for me.
00:24:13You were in a coma.
00:24:14After the tractor incident, I lost my marriage because I realized that public display of nudity had unlocked something.
00:24:26So, for me, it wasn't waking from a coma in the traditional sense.
00:24:30It was waking from the coma of modern life.
00:24:33And it was like a message sent to me on the breeze.
00:24:39I rebranded.
00:24:45Nude Accountancy Services.
00:24:47I specialize in financial transparency.
00:24:51Please don't tell me you ordered it in the nude.
00:24:53It's a great leveler.
00:24:55Takes the mystery out of bookkeeping.
00:24:57Well, I'm happy that you're wearing clothes today, Lawrence.
00:25:00Only when I have to.
00:25:03Candy?
00:25:04I'm sure Trudy wouldn't mind.
00:25:06No, thanks.
00:25:08Well, I spoke with Luigi, Ray's chef that he fired last night.
00:25:15I think he's a racist.
00:25:17But if he had an issue with Italian people, why did he start an Italian restaurant?
00:25:21I've had a bit to do with Ray over the years, and he can be obstinate, but I honestly don't
00:25:27think he's a racist.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:30He did say that you weren't doing your job.
00:25:33What I wear when I work shouldn't matter.
00:25:35Is this about the evening gown?
00:25:37We had creative differences.
00:25:41I thought I looked great.
00:25:43But he's the boss, right?
00:25:44Well, I needed that job.
00:25:46I'm saving up for a trip to my homeland to visit my ailing grandmother.
00:25:50I'm so grateful to Frodo.
00:25:52Did you happen to see this woman at the restaurant last night?
00:25:58How would I know?
00:26:00I was in the kitchen doing my job.
00:26:03I can't help but think that Luigi saw something, and that's why Ray fired him.
00:26:08Why would that keep him quiet?
00:26:09Ray knows that he'll just come across like a disgruntled ex-employee.
00:26:13Who is Betty Reynolds?
00:26:15How did she get in there?
00:26:18Why was she there?
00:26:19And of course...
00:26:20Why would someone want her dead?
00:26:29Oh my God.
00:26:30It's happened.
00:26:32What has?
00:26:32There's only one reason police come into bars.
00:26:35It's to tell us someone is deceased.
00:26:37That's Trudy, isn't it?
00:26:38Oh my God, she's dead!
00:26:39Trudy is out of surgery.
00:26:41She's gonna be okay.
00:26:44I knew it.
00:26:45She's a survivor.
00:26:47Yeah, she's a lucky woman.
00:26:48I don't mind admitting that's a relief.
00:26:51It is indeed.
00:26:52Lena, you worked at Ray's Nutritoria, right?
00:26:55Mm-hmm.
00:26:55Between here and there, I'm totally rinsed.
00:26:58And did you ever come across a Betty Reynolds?
00:27:07According to Doug and Ron, she's what's known as a man-eater.
00:27:12Thanks, Lena.
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:15Ron?
00:27:17Doug?
00:27:18Spear to be good.
00:27:19We're grieving a good woman now.
00:27:22Betty Reynolds.
00:27:23A real piece of work, that one.
00:27:25There's nothing like she presented herself in the classifieds.
00:27:27The classifieds?
00:27:28As in the newspaper ads?
00:27:30Doug hasn't embraced Tinder yet.
00:27:33Even though it gets quite lonely out on the farm, doesn't it, Doug?
00:27:36You could talk.
00:27:37You went there too.
00:27:39Said on your profile that you're a property developer?
00:27:41I don't like to boast, but yes, I am.
00:27:43Impressive.
00:27:45Commercial or residential?
00:27:46Oh, residential.
00:27:47I've always taken great pleasure in having a veggie garden.
00:27:50Gardening.
00:27:51I'm growing my own vegetables.
00:27:52I've developed my property to be a haven for fresh bodges.
00:27:58So, uh, do you like jazz?
00:28:02I have an extensive collection of LBs.
00:28:05One fettuccine diavola and one gazpacho.
00:28:09Enjoy.
00:28:10Waitress.
00:28:14There's a fly in my suit.
00:28:15Wait.
00:28:16Uh, wait.
00:28:17No, don't tell me.
00:28:18I know this one.
00:28:19My dad told me.
00:28:20Don't speak too loudly or everyone will want one.
00:28:22No.
00:28:24There's a fly in my suit.
00:28:28To be honest, I don't really like Italian food.
00:28:32It tends to run straight through me.
00:28:37All right, wise guy.
00:28:39The oldest trick in the book.
00:28:40Drop a fly in your food and expect to dine for free.
00:28:46Oh, Jesus.
00:28:48Ray.
00:28:48Been a while.
00:28:50Not long enough.
00:28:51You two.
00:28:52Oh, we go way back.
00:28:53Don't we, Ray?
00:28:54I heard you were back in town.
00:28:56You're not welcome here.
00:28:58To be honest, I'm used to higher class joints.
00:29:00I have no interest in slumming it.
00:29:05Good night, boys.
00:29:08What just happened here?
00:29:09I just saved you from a world of pain.
00:29:12I was in with a chance.
00:29:13And in the morning, she would have feasted on your carcass.
00:29:20This one's on me.
00:29:22In the end, she was just after my money.
00:29:26You don't have any money.
00:29:27She didn't know that at the time, Lena.
00:29:30You like and gossip.
00:29:31I've got a minute to talk to the Spanish Inquisition.
00:29:33Some of us have more important places to be.
00:29:38He dated Betty, too.
00:29:39Didn't go well, eh, Ron?
00:29:41I guess the main difference between Romney and Corridals
00:29:44is in the percentage of fly strikes.
00:29:46Once the blowies get down there amongst the dags,
00:29:49all hell breaks loose down there in the nether regions.
00:29:52You've got some nerve coming in here parading that?
00:29:55This?
00:29:56It was given to me by a friend.
00:29:57Who had no right to give it away.
00:29:59Binders keepers?
00:30:00Thieves and vultures, more like.
00:30:02Hey, steady on.
00:30:03Stay out of this, Doug.
00:30:04We're on a date.
00:30:05You're not supposed to talk like me.
00:30:06It's all right, Doug.
00:30:07I know when I'm not welcome.
00:30:09A glimmer of intelligence.
00:30:11Say hi to your mother from me.
00:30:13Frank always spoke highly of her.
00:30:16Get out of my pub.
00:30:23Well, thanks very much.
00:30:25You can do a lot better than that, Doug.
00:30:27I did once.
00:30:28Look where that got me.
00:30:35So, Trudy knew Betty Reynolds?
00:30:38Knew.
00:30:39No, we're practically related.
00:30:40Yeah, but not in a good way.
00:30:42That woman!
00:30:43What a nerve!
00:30:44I knew a girl like that at high school,
00:30:46always showing off her stuff.
00:30:48Yeah?
00:30:49She run off with your mother's second husband too?
00:30:52So, the fact that they both got attacked today
00:30:55is just freaky, right?
00:30:59You got to know to understand
00:31:03Baby, take me by my hand
00:31:08I'll lead you to the promised land
00:31:17Dennis.
00:31:19Two things I know to be true.
00:31:21Number one, you've missed me.
00:31:23Number two, you're holding a client of mine hostage.
00:31:26Rock!
00:31:31You haven't been straight with us, Ray.
00:31:32We know Trudy was in your restaurant.
00:31:34What if I was to say to you
00:31:36that's news to me?
00:31:37Well, I'd say you were lying
00:31:39probably to cover for her.
00:31:41The fact that she was in your restaurant
00:31:43would explain how her blood
00:31:45came to be on your shirt, right?
00:31:46Oh, please, detective.
00:31:48They could be historical stains.
00:31:49I'm sorry, from what?
00:31:50The Battle of the Somme?
00:31:52Guadalcanal?
00:31:53Argincourt, maybe?
00:31:54Well, come on, Dennis.
00:31:55We have a witness
00:31:57who puts Trudy there.
00:31:58Who?
00:32:00Herself.
00:32:02Trudy.
00:32:03It's very important
00:32:04we know who attacked you.
00:32:05Oh, no, narc.
00:32:07If you were attacked,
00:32:08it's not narcing.
00:32:09It's helping us to find an offender.
00:32:12Ask Betty.
00:32:14Betty Reynolds?
00:32:15Hmm?
00:32:16I would, but she's no longer with us.
00:32:19It's not my fault.
00:32:20Trudy,
00:32:22did you stab Betty Reynolds
00:32:23at Ray's restaurant?
00:32:25No.
00:32:28She stabbed me.
00:32:30So, the words of a woman
00:32:32heavily sedated
00:32:33on any number
00:32:33of prescription narcotics.
00:32:35That doesn't put her
00:32:36in the room
00:32:36that Betty Reynolds
00:32:37was killed.
00:32:38But this does.
00:32:41Print of Trudy's shoe
00:32:44that matches to prints
00:32:46found on the floor
00:32:47of the crime scene
00:32:48along with traces of blood.
00:32:50When'd you get that?
00:32:51Why didn't it?
00:32:52My colleague did.
00:32:58Eileen asked me
00:32:59to put the potatoes on.
00:33:00I think I might have
00:33:01some candy now.
00:33:03Look, they're in the room.
00:33:04Just help yourself
00:33:05when you get in there.
00:33:06Might see you tomorrow.
00:33:08Mr. Tradegoat,
00:33:10it's in the bag.
00:33:19So, let's start
00:33:20from the beginning,
00:33:21shall we?
00:33:21What can you tell me
00:33:22about a certain
00:33:23diamond brooch?
00:33:29Charlie Nielsen,
00:33:30Ray and Trudy's father,
00:33:32gifted a diamond brooch
00:33:34to Eileen
00:33:35in 1976
00:33:37to mark their
00:33:3810th wedding anniversary.
00:33:40My dad died
00:33:41several years later.
00:33:42I think my mother
00:33:43just wore him out.
00:33:44Some years later,
00:33:46Eileen remarried
00:33:48to a man named
00:33:49Frank.
00:33:51Frank Spencer?
00:33:52Uh-huh.
00:33:53Frank was a tryhard,
00:33:54fancied himself
00:33:55as an entrepreneur,
00:33:56was always trying
00:33:58to make a go
00:33:58of dodgy businesses,
00:34:00working in the
00:34:00twilight of the law.
00:34:02Ten years later,
00:34:03around 1993,
00:34:04Frank began
00:34:05a long-term affair
00:34:07with...
00:34:08Betty Reynolds.
00:34:09My father loved
00:34:10my mother.
00:34:11Mum was her best self
00:34:12with Frank,
00:34:12but he died
00:34:13when I was six.
00:34:14He was found
00:34:15face down
00:34:15on a newly cemented
00:34:16floor of an
00:34:17industrial unit.
00:34:19Mum was devastated
00:34:20at his accidental death,
00:34:22but not as upset
00:34:23as when...
00:34:24She found out
00:34:24Frank had given
00:34:25her diamond brooch
00:34:26to Betty.
00:34:28That brooch
00:34:28meant a lot to my mum,
00:34:29a lasting memory
00:34:30of my father, Frank.
00:34:31That brooch
00:34:32meant a lot
00:34:33to my mother,
00:34:34a lasting memory
00:34:35of Charlie,
00:34:36our father.
00:34:37And that, folks,
00:34:38is what you call
00:34:39motive.
00:34:40This brooch,
00:34:42how much is it worth?
00:34:43It depends on
00:34:44who you ask.
00:34:45Well, if you ask
00:34:45my mother,
00:34:46it was worth a lot.
00:34:47Hence your interest
00:34:48in her belongings.
00:34:49Her clothes?
00:34:50Where are they?
00:34:51They are in a bag.
00:34:52I'm happy to take them
00:34:53if they're in the way.
00:34:53It's not the most
00:34:54beautiful thing,
00:34:54but it adds
00:34:55sentimental value,
00:34:57if nothing else.
00:34:58But, according to Ray,
00:34:59a lot.
00:35:00Or so Lawrence says.
00:35:02Lawrence Treadgall.
00:35:03He was doing
00:35:04an audit of my
00:35:04mother's finances.
00:35:06Fully clothed,
00:35:07one can only hope.
00:35:08And that's what
00:35:09he reckoned.
00:35:10Got very excited
00:35:11about it.
00:35:14Venus on holiday
00:35:16in Pompeii.
00:35:17That's a special
00:35:18piece, Ray.
00:35:20By Michelangelo.
00:35:21He was Italian,
00:35:22you know.
00:35:23I'm not here
00:35:24to discuss
00:35:24naked ladies,
00:35:25Lawrence.
00:35:25You said you
00:35:26had some news?
00:35:27Your mother
00:35:29is a proud woman.
00:35:32You left out
00:35:33stubborn
00:35:33and delusional,
00:35:34but carry on.
00:35:35As we discussed
00:35:36that Sunday lunch,
00:35:37where she served
00:35:38a promotional blackmail.
00:35:39The cupboard
00:35:40is bare,
00:35:42but I found this
00:35:44in the insurance files.
00:35:46This is a piece
00:35:47of 70s bling.
00:35:48Mum should have
00:35:49let it go years ago.
00:35:50I did some research.
00:35:51Its current value
00:35:53would be
00:35:54$150,000.
00:35:58Ricotta and roasted
00:35:59tomato bruschetta
00:36:00and pancilla.
00:36:02Vesio Luigi.
00:36:03That's one expensive
00:36:04place, mate.
00:36:05Excuse me.
00:36:08Grazie.
00:36:09There you go.
00:36:11It is my understanding
00:36:13that this brooch
00:36:15is rightfully
00:36:16your mother's.
00:36:17The question is
00:36:19what are you
00:36:20going to do
00:36:21about it?
00:36:24$150,000.
00:36:26Yeah,
00:36:27we definitely
00:36:28have a motive.
00:36:45two hours 53.
00:36:46Happy with that?
00:36:47I know it's hard
00:36:48when your mum's died,
00:36:49but the grief
00:36:49has given you wings.
00:36:50I don't feel well
00:36:54Must be under
00:36:56some kind of spell
00:36:59Good times
00:37:04My heart shed
00:37:06like a homicide
00:37:09A lady now
00:37:10promenade
00:37:11to the bad
00:37:12fingers
00:37:12of her
00:37:13baby
00:37:13bad
00:37:13crowd
00:37:14Good times
00:37:18Hey,
00:37:19she's nearly
00:37:20run out of carrots.
00:37:21Can I give her
00:37:21the tiny cabbages?
00:37:22Yeah,
00:37:23Brussels sprouts,
00:37:24but just a few
00:37:25at a time.
00:37:25Remember,
00:37:26for every action
00:37:26there can be
00:37:27an explosive
00:37:28reaction.
00:37:31Hi, Lena.
00:37:32Hey,
00:37:32I so want a donkey.
00:37:34It'll be the ultimate
00:37:35accessory, right?
00:37:36Sure, I guess.
00:37:36I mean,
00:37:37imagine me
00:37:38riding into town
00:37:39wearing my catsuit
00:37:40on my own donkey.
00:37:42People would just think
00:37:43wow.
00:37:45Uh, yeah.
00:37:45I imagine people
00:37:46would think
00:37:48wow.
00:37:49Hey,
00:37:49the other night
00:37:50at Ray's grand opening
00:37:51did you notice
00:37:53anyone out of the ordinary?
00:37:54You mean the mystery diner?
00:37:56No,
00:37:56I was thinking more
00:37:57I thought I spotted her.
00:37:58I wasn't sure,
00:37:59but I was pretty sure.
00:38:00Don't look now,
00:38:01but one o'clock,
00:38:02booth two,
00:38:03I think she's the one.
00:38:05With Frodo,
00:38:06give me a break.
00:38:08Mystery diners
00:38:09are experienced
00:38:10in gastronomy.
00:38:11People of a certain class.
00:38:13A friend of Frodo's
00:38:15wouldn't make the cut.
00:38:16So we never figured it out?
00:38:18So nothing suspicious?
00:38:20No one behaving weirdly?
00:38:23Coffee to go?
00:38:24Oh, thank you.
00:38:25Hey, Lena.
00:38:26Hey,
00:38:27by the way,
00:38:27you slayed the other night.
00:38:29Your music
00:38:29moved me.
00:38:31Really?
00:38:32So authentic.
00:38:34And don't worry about Ray.
00:38:35He was just stressed
00:38:36with the whole opening thing.
00:38:38Ray's been good to me.
00:38:40I don't want to cause a fuss.
00:38:41I'm moving on.
00:38:42Where?
00:38:43Overseas.
00:38:43My lola,
00:38:44my nana,
00:38:46my nonna.
00:38:46She's not well.
00:38:48Oh, shame.
00:38:49My nana wasn't well.
00:38:50And then she died.
00:38:52So yeah,
00:38:52it's probably a good idea.
00:38:54Yeah,
00:38:54I think you're right.
00:38:55Whereabouts does she live
00:38:57in Italy?
00:38:58Um,
00:38:58Pompey.
00:39:01Such a talent.
00:39:02Best I've ever seen.
00:39:03Oh,
00:39:04you're an aficionado
00:39:04of Italian folk guitar,
00:39:06are you?
00:39:07Sure,
00:39:08if that's what you want to call it.
00:39:14What do you call it?
00:39:28D.C. Chalmers.
00:39:30Eileen's not here.
00:39:31She's at the hospital.
00:39:32I thought that might be the case.
00:39:33Have you got a minute?
00:39:38I understand you had a meeting
00:39:40with Trudy and Ray Nielsen
00:39:42in his restaurant
00:39:43to discuss the value
00:39:44of this brooch.
00:39:46We did.
00:39:48And at this meeting,
00:39:49was anything discussed
00:39:50about how to move forward
00:39:51on returning the brooch
00:39:52to their mother?
00:39:53Discussed.
00:39:54Oh, yes.
00:39:55I want nothing to do with it.
00:39:57Truth.
00:39:58150 K,
00:39:59I mean.
00:40:00Count me out.
00:40:07Discussed and dismissed.
00:40:10As she did
00:40:10when she first heard about it.
00:40:12If there's one thing
00:40:12I know about our mother,
00:40:14there's no such thing
00:40:15as a free lunch.
00:40:19Ray.
00:40:20Trudy.
00:40:21My dear,
00:40:23dear children.
00:40:24Welcome.
00:40:32Oh, Lawrence!
00:40:34The kids are here.
00:40:36Be a dear and put some pants on.
00:40:39Who the hell is that?
00:40:40That's Lawrence.
00:40:41It's my accountant.
00:40:47Oh, God.
00:41:01Romano Reyes.
00:41:02What kind of name is that?
00:41:05It's Italian.
00:41:06Oh.
00:41:09Why?
00:41:10It's an Italian trattoria.
00:41:12It needs an Italian name.
00:41:14What about
00:41:16mamas?
00:41:16Did you consider that?
00:41:18It was already taken.
00:41:20I see.
00:41:23She's back!
00:41:25Who is?
00:41:26The harlot?
00:41:27What?
00:41:27She is back.
00:41:35You?
00:41:37Hello, Eileen.
00:41:38Have you no shame.
00:41:52She was wearing it.
00:41:56Oh, God.
00:41:57I want it back.
00:41:59We've been through this.
00:42:01You have to let it go.
00:42:02She's been grieving that brooch for 25 years.
00:42:07I want what is mine.
00:42:08So why are you talking to us?
00:42:09Because I want you to get it.
00:42:10No, no, no.
00:42:11If you want it, you get it yourself.
00:42:12But I can't.
00:42:13I couldn't trust myself not to scratch your eyes out.
00:42:15Over something that bad, I wouldn't.
00:42:22It's an heirloom.
00:42:24It will be passed from me to you.
00:42:27Or
00:42:29don't you want that?
00:42:31Here we go.
00:42:32You don't want to remember me.
00:42:35I knew it.
00:42:36So ungrateful.
00:42:38It would be a big help
00:42:40to your mother's finances.
00:42:43Thank you, Lawrence.
00:42:44I don't mind admitting the cupboard is bare.
00:42:48Your father was unlucky in business before he died,
00:42:51and the rest was lost when Frank was fleeced by that hussy.
00:42:54If it wasn't for Isabel's kindness letting me live here,
00:42:58I would be out on the street.
00:43:02Mom, it's a dated brooch from the 1970s.
00:43:05Actually, it's more than that.
00:43:10I don't know.
00:43:11A few days later, I met with Ray and Trudy
00:43:13and told him how much it was worth.
00:43:15But then Trudy ends up in Ray's trattoria
00:43:18with Betty Reynolds dead.
00:43:19Seems so.
00:43:21And you don't know anything about how that came to be?
00:43:24No.
00:43:25Where were you the night before last?
00:43:28Going over Eileen's accounts.
00:43:31And
00:43:31yes,
00:43:33I was naked.
00:43:34Dad, you can ask Eileen.
00:43:41The security company says that the alarm at Romano Ray's
00:43:45was activated at 1 a.m.,
00:43:48the time that Ray said he left.
00:43:50It was then deactivated five minutes later.
00:43:53Ten minutes after that, it was reactivated.
00:43:57Then, at 1.30 a.m.,
00:43:59it was deactivated and never switched back on.
00:44:01I checked with Ray, he said he never returned.
00:44:04So despite what he claims, someone else had access?
00:44:07Well, that has to be Trudy.
00:44:08Well, the surgeon who operated on Trudy
00:44:11estimated that the stab wound
00:44:14was ten centimetres,
00:44:16which matches the diameter of the pizza cutter.
00:44:20She stabbed herself.
00:44:21Well, if she did, it would explain a whole lot.
00:44:23But not who that print belongs to.
00:44:29Does it have to be all three of you?
00:44:31We all need to hear Trudy's side of the story.
00:44:34Some of us have been waiting ages.
00:44:36You just jumped the queue.
00:44:37It won't be long, Doug.
00:44:38Then we'll leave Trudy to your soothing words.
00:44:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:44:41It means relax.
00:44:47Hello, Trudy.
00:44:48One of the three musketeers
00:44:50would say the same about you.
00:44:51Although, instead of a sword,
00:44:53you've been welding a pizza cutter.
00:44:56That wasn't me.
00:44:57Evidence would suggest otherwise.
00:44:58It wasn't me.
00:44:59Trudy, a woman is dead.
00:45:01Stabbed with a weapon that had your fingerprints on it.
00:45:03And as I told D'Artagnan here,
00:45:06Betty stabbed me.
00:45:07Then who stabbed her?
00:45:08I don't know.
00:45:09Trudy, now is not the time to stand on principle.
00:45:13Knarking might be in your best interest here.
00:45:15I can't knark.
00:45:17Yeah, we know.
00:45:18No.
00:45:19If I could tell you, I would.
00:45:20Would you?
00:45:22Yes.
00:45:23Even if it was Ray?
00:45:25Ray?
00:45:26Why would you think Ray had any part in this?
00:45:28Because he's been covering for you.
00:45:30Well, maybe he's been covering for himself.
00:45:32He wasn't there.
00:45:36Trudy, this tells us that someone else
00:45:39was in the restaurant with you.
00:45:40If you tell us who that was,
00:45:41we'll be able to make better sense of what went on.
00:45:44There was no one else.
00:45:46Trudy, please, help us to help you.
00:45:48I need to rest.
00:45:49You heard her.
00:45:51Vanus.
00:45:55You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:45:57There's a serial killer out there
00:45:59and you lot are putting thumbscrews on the victim.
00:46:01Knock yourself out, Doug.
00:46:03Maybe you can get some sense from her.
00:46:05Doug is still here.
00:46:07I'm going to tell him to come back later.
00:46:09No.
00:46:10Send him in.
00:46:15You've got nothing on him.
00:46:16So should we stop the charade?
00:46:18Why are you holding him?
00:46:20Ray knows more than he's letting on.
00:46:21Does he?
00:46:22Ray said he didn't know the victim.
00:46:24He did.
00:46:25He denied that Trudy was there
00:46:27when he opened the following morning.
00:46:28She was.
00:46:29He knew about the missing brooch.
00:46:31He was acting irrationally
00:46:33during the time leading up to the death of Betty Reynolds,
00:46:35including firing his chef
00:46:37in the middle of Restaurant Awards Week.
00:46:39So, Luigi Pompei?
00:46:40Oh, Detective, please.
00:46:41That little fraudster had it coming.
00:46:43Trying to put one over it tight in a local business.
00:46:45It says here you've been cooking for over 25 years.
00:46:48This is true.
00:46:49And you're 27 years old.
00:46:51My mama started me early.
00:46:53Well, you know what they say about Italian mamas.
00:46:57That they're the best cooks.
00:46:58Indeed.
00:46:59You've been taught by an expert.
00:47:02Luigi.
00:47:03Yes.
00:47:04Do you have a last name?
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07It's Pompei.
00:47:09You don't get much more Italian than that.
00:47:12If you say so.
00:47:13The Roman Empire was the greatest the world has ever seen.
00:47:16You have a proud heritage.
00:47:18And it says here you sing and play
00:47:21traditional Italian folk music.
00:47:24I am.
00:47:25I love to perform.
00:47:27I love to perform.
00:47:35Luigi, welcome aboard Romano Reyes.
00:47:39See, the idea was to have complimentary live music after service.
00:47:41A free digestif.
00:47:43Added value.
00:47:45But little did he know.
00:47:46Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:47:48And I trust you enjoyed our authentic Italian fair this evening.
00:47:52Lena is bringing around some complimentary grappa.
00:47:55But please, give a warm hand to your chef this evening.
00:47:59A man of many talents.
00:48:02Also, your entertainment.
00:48:05Luigi Pompei.
00:48:21You spurned my natural emotions.
00:48:26You make me feel I'm dirt.
00:48:29And I'm hurt.
00:48:31And I'm hurt.
00:48:31I'm so hurt.
00:48:38And if I start a commotion.
00:48:41I'll run the risk of losing you.
00:48:46And that's worse.
00:48:48So much worse.
00:49:15As they say, all that glitters is not gold.
00:49:19What the hell is this?
00:49:22It's my alter ego.
00:49:24Carita.
00:49:25What happened to Luigi Pompei?
00:49:27Authentic Italian guitar player.
00:49:29That's boring, Ray.
00:49:31So, last century.
00:49:33Yes!
00:49:34That's the point.
00:49:35This is what people want.
00:49:37This will put you on the map.
00:49:40The map of insanity?
00:49:41I mean, you weren't even singing Italian.
00:49:44What was that?
00:49:45It's Tagalog.
00:49:46It's Filipino.
00:49:47You're Luigi.
00:49:48My real name is Noel Ramirez.
00:49:51My father was from Manila.
00:49:53My mother passed and all.
00:49:55Noel?
00:49:56Noel.
00:49:57They loved Christmas.
00:49:58You said you were Italian.
00:50:00No.
00:50:01You said I was Italian.
00:50:02I just went along with it.
00:50:05My food is great, right?
00:50:07People love good Italian food.
00:50:08That's the easy bit.
00:50:09But this?
00:50:10This will make Romano Reis stand out.
00:50:15People will come from miles around
00:50:16asking for a kavanara, a kianti,
00:50:19and a song from Kualenta.
00:50:22If I'd wanted that,
00:50:24I'd have opened this place as Ray Paul's Drag Race.
00:50:27It's a trattoria.
00:50:30Quality food and Italian guitar music.
00:50:34Not some sugar plum fairy doing lipstick on my collar
00:50:39in Filipino.
00:50:40Get out of here.
00:50:42You're fired.
00:50:48Sometimes, all that glitters
00:50:50is just a Filipino man
00:50:52wanting to express his inner drag queen.
00:50:54Now, Ray may be guilty of intolerance,
00:50:55he may even be guilty of ignorance,
00:50:56but he was not complicit
00:50:58in whatever went on
00:50:59after he closed the trattoria for the night.
00:51:01Then why did he try and cover it up?
00:51:03Well, I'm not here to do your job, detectives.
00:51:05You have a couple of hours.
00:51:06You charge him,
00:51:07or we walk out of here.
00:51:16Hey, Luigi.
00:51:18Or is it Noel?
00:51:19Noel?
00:51:21Or Kalita?
00:51:22Sorry, I have to keep her walking.
00:51:24Do you?
00:51:24Or is that a lie?
00:51:25For real.
00:51:26She ate a bucket full of Brussels sprouts
00:51:27and she's got some serious digestive issues.
00:51:32So you lied to Ray.
00:51:34Did you lie to me too?
00:51:36About what?
00:51:36Anything.
00:51:37Everything.
00:51:38About your Nana.
00:51:39My Nana.
00:51:40My Lola.
00:51:41She is sick.
00:51:43She lives in Manila.
00:51:44I've never been.
00:51:45I want to go.
00:51:46That's the truth.
00:51:47About not seeing anything at Ray's?
00:51:48Ray fired me.
00:51:50That's the truth.
00:51:51And after Ray fired you, you slept in a coffee cup?
00:51:54Yes.
00:51:54Why not just go home?
00:51:56It was late.
00:51:57I'd run out of money for a taxi.
00:51:59And where is home?
00:52:01I've been couch surfing.
00:52:02Where was the last couch you surfed?
00:52:04Across town.
00:52:05Why were these questions?
00:52:08Did you go back to Ray's?
00:52:10Why would I go back?
00:52:11He fired me.
00:52:12You tell me.
00:52:13To go and get your things, perhaps?
00:52:15Like my guitar?
00:52:16Sure.
00:52:17If I did, why would it still be there?
00:52:19I would like that back, by the way,
00:52:21if that's not too much trouble.
00:52:23She needs to keep walking.
00:52:30Charged with what?
00:52:31Interfering with a police investigation.
00:52:34Circumstantial at best.
00:52:35Your client threw the murder weapon in a rubbish bin.
00:52:37For reasons of hygiene.
00:52:39The man is a restaurateur of an aspirational establishment.
00:52:42He's got standards to maintain.
00:52:44It was an innocent mishandling at worst.
00:52:46His shirt was covered with blood.
00:52:48Of the victim?
00:52:49No.
00:52:50Of his sister?
00:52:51Yes.
00:52:52Who was not dead.
00:52:53Nor has laid any charges against Ray,
00:52:55which suggests he has nothing to do with the tragic events
00:52:57that happened inside his trattoria.
00:52:59His sister, whom we know was in the trattoria.
00:53:02But were they there at the same time?
00:53:04Hmm?
00:53:05Granted.
00:53:06This is a very serious situation.
00:53:08A man sits here, the victim of circumstance.
00:53:12And you know, when I look at Ray,
00:53:13I'm reminded of someone.
00:53:15And who would that be, Dennis?
00:53:16Well, take a look.
00:53:18Tell me you don't see it.
00:53:19He reminds me of Ray.
00:53:20And?
00:53:22Nelson Mandela.
00:53:26South Africa's first black president,
00:53:28who was jailed for 20 years
00:53:30for fighting against the oppressive apartheid regime
00:53:33and died in 2013.
00:53:35Well, he's not dead, obviously.
00:53:36Or a black South African.
00:53:37But in many ways, he is like Nelson Mandela.
00:53:40How so?
00:53:40Because he's a political prisoner.
00:53:42In this case, the politics being the politics of small business.
00:53:45For as we know, the night in question was a very important evening
00:53:49in Brokenwood's top five Italian restaurants competition,
00:53:51of which Romano Ray's is a top contender.
00:53:54Now, there was a mystery diner whose identity remains unknown.
00:53:57But a stellar review was likely forthcoming.
00:54:00So, what might Ray's competitors do?
00:54:05I don't know.
00:54:06Stage a killing inside his trittoria
00:54:08to ensure that he didn't pick up that supreme award?
00:54:10For no matter how good that review would be,
00:54:12it wouldn't withstand the blight,
00:54:14the scuttlebutt,
00:54:15the injurious harm that such a tragic visitation
00:54:18would have upon his establishment,
00:54:19of which Ray must suffer the consequences unjustly.
00:54:22But in no uncertain terms,
00:54:23what I see here,
00:54:24and I certainly hope you do too,
00:54:26is a potential case of industrial sabotage.
00:54:29We don't see it that way.
00:54:31And there's the thing.
00:54:32You see potato,
00:54:33I see potato.
00:54:35So in summary,
00:54:36let's call the whole thing off.
00:54:40Word of advice.
00:54:41If I were you,
00:54:42I'd laid very low for a while.
00:54:44Oh.
00:55:49Detective, please come in.
00:55:51I can't stay.
00:55:53I simply came to ask you what shoe size you wear.
00:55:57Size nine.
00:55:58Like Goldilocks, not too big, not too small.
00:56:02Why?
00:56:03I need to know who left this at the crime scene.
00:56:08It's estimated to be a woman's size nine.
00:56:12Do you think I stabbed my own daughter?
00:56:16I'm mostly interested in who stabbed Betty Reynolds.
00:56:19I'd like you to leave now.
00:56:26Eileen Spencer.
00:56:27Well, if I shoot forks, we have to at least ask.
00:56:30Maybe it'll jog Prudy's memory.
00:56:31Really?
00:56:33Five minutes.
00:56:33She's resting.
00:56:34Then she'll be rested.
00:56:35We'll ask her some questions and she can rest some more.
00:56:38Four minutes.
00:56:44Oh, God.
00:56:45Where is she?
00:56:46She didn't leave.
00:56:47Well, clearly she did.
00:56:49Carbago.
00:56:50Have Lawrence Treadgold or Eileen Spencer visited in the last hour?
00:56:53No, only Doug Randall.
00:56:56Bloody Doug.
00:57:09Doug.
00:57:11Doug.
00:57:15Stacey Chalmers, I need a word.
00:57:23Hey, Todd.
00:57:24We were asking around about Doug Randall.
00:57:26Have you seen him today?
00:57:26No, not me.
00:57:28Check with Frodo.
00:57:29Okay, thanks.
00:57:32Hey, Frodo.
00:57:33Oh, hey.
00:57:35Have you seen Doug Randall come through here?
00:57:37No.
00:57:37The last one through here was Audrey 30 minutes ago.
00:57:40She'll be back in an hour completing another circuit.
00:57:42She's incredible.
00:57:43Yes, she's very impressive.
00:57:45Thanks, Frodo.
00:57:46Yeah, but deep down, I know she's really just trying to outrun her grief.
00:57:49The thing is, she's conflicted in that grief.
00:57:51I'm sensitive to these things.
00:57:52Yes, you are.
00:57:54Thanks, Frodo.
00:57:55I mean, on one hand, her mother is dead and that's hard on anyone.
00:57:58I know when my half-mother died, I was gutted.
00:58:01But, on the other hand, her mother was...
00:58:03Was what?
00:58:05Not the straightest arrow in the...
00:58:10Quiver?
00:58:11Yeah.
00:58:12And this is based on...
00:58:13On what Audrey told me.
00:58:14I've never seen anyone run like you.
00:58:16You run like the wind.
00:58:17If...
00:58:18The wind had legs.
00:58:20Really nice legs.
00:58:21And a face.
00:58:22Yeah.
00:58:23Really nice face.
00:58:25Thanks, but...
00:58:26You know, I was supposed to be competing in the Ultra Trial du Mont Blanc this year and I couldn't.
00:58:31And I've just...
00:58:32I've just let my conditioning go a little.
00:58:34But you're good enough.
00:58:34For sure.
00:58:35No, I know I'm good enough.
00:58:36I just didn't have the funds.
00:58:38Well, I did, but...
00:58:40Turns out she had these savings to travel to all these important international competitions.
00:58:43But then her mother got sick.
00:58:44So Audrey sacrificed her savings to get her mother the necessary treatment in Thailand.
00:58:48If I make it through, I will pay you back every cent.
00:58:53See, the thing is, she...
00:58:55She never had cancer.
00:58:56But she still went to Thailand for the year.
00:58:58And, you know, had a really great time.
00:59:00She duped her own daughter.
00:59:02Sucks, right?
00:59:03When did she tell you this?
00:59:04The other night before we went out to dinner.
00:59:06Again.
00:59:07Man, she can eat a lot of carbs.
00:59:09And that was our third Italian in three days.
00:59:12But after tonight, I'm going to have enough.
00:59:14You've got to understand, Frodo.
00:59:16Running ultramarathons, it takes a certain type of headspace.
00:59:19But it's what I do.
00:59:20I'm a very driven person.
00:59:22Totally.
00:59:23I drive a lot too.
00:59:24Moving my coffee cart from place to place.
00:59:26It can be tiring, but it's what I do.
00:59:28You're very sweet.
00:59:29And tonight is going to be a special night.
00:59:32Bonasera!
00:59:33Welcome to Romano Race.
00:59:35What was special about it?
00:59:36Something about a payday.
00:59:37But then her mother died, so once again her mother's going to cause her to miss out.
00:59:40So, as you can see, she has mixed emotions.
00:59:43But it's okay.
00:59:44I'm here to comfort her.
00:59:45Where did you say she was again?
00:59:46Uh, she'll be coming down the other side of Walker's Ridge in about 20 minutes.
00:59:51Okay.
00:59:51Thanks.
01:00:00Three letters to receive a punch.
01:00:04Cop.
01:00:05Ron, have you seen Doug?
01:00:07I do not recall.
01:00:08I do.
01:00:09He was talking to you earlier.
01:00:11If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.
01:00:13Well, it's not an opinion.
01:00:14That's fact.
01:00:16Doug was here.
01:00:17That's not the point.
01:00:18The point is, did I see him?
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22You were talking to him, and then he left?
01:00:26Did he say where he was going?
01:00:28No.
01:00:31To be fair, he was a little weird.
01:00:33I mean, he's a weird person, but more so than usual.
01:00:41You all right?
01:00:42You barely touched your point.
01:00:44Sometimes a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
01:00:48You're going to sign up with Tinder, aren't you?
01:00:50Don't be stupid.
01:00:54But, if I don't come back, Massey Ferguson's yours.
01:00:58Why would I want your tractor?
01:01:00There's a couple of years in the top paddock.
01:01:02They're on the heat, so you might want to team them up with Billy.
01:01:05Billy?
01:01:05The Ram.
01:01:09I got the sense that Doug has probably dragged an old Clydesdale from the back paddock,
01:01:14dressed up in a Lone Ranger outfit,
01:01:16and is doing the job that you lot are failing to do.
01:01:19What's that?
01:01:20Getting your man.
01:01:22Thanks for the support, Ron.
01:01:30Sorry to interrupt.
01:01:33A witness told me that you mentioned a payday the night your mother was killed at Romano Reyes.
01:01:40Frodo?
01:01:41A payday for what?
01:01:42It's awkward.
01:01:43I have an NDA.
01:01:44A non-disclosure agreement regarding your mother's death.
01:01:47My line of work revolves around anonymity.
01:01:50At work as a secret food critic.
01:01:52Yeah, I figured you were the mystery diner.
01:01:54Pays the bills.
01:01:55And Romano Reyes was the last on my list.
01:01:57Contra fulfilled.
01:01:57But that wasn't the last payday you were holding out for.
01:02:01Meaning?
01:02:02We believe your mother was in possession of a diamond brooch when she died.
01:02:06When her body was found, the brooch was not with her.
01:02:09We believe it had been torn off her blouse.
01:02:11We also know that Betty owed you a significant amount of money.
01:02:14Sure, she said she was coming into some cash,
01:02:16that she was going to sell the brooch and pay me back.
01:02:18Given your previous experience with her,
01:02:21surely you knew that even if she did get some money for that brooch,
01:02:24it would be unlikely to come your way.
01:02:26Yeah, well, I thought she might have changed.
01:02:28Or you took matters into your own hands?
01:02:30No.
01:02:30Are you in possession of the brooch now?
01:02:32No.
01:02:32Do you know who is?
01:02:33No.
01:02:34Where were you at 2am the night your mother died?
01:02:36Here.
01:02:36In the forest.
01:02:38At 2am.
01:02:39Well, that's how I like it.
01:02:45Like I said, I fulfilled my contract enough to get me back on the circuit.
01:02:50Look, I have a flight booked for France tonight.
01:02:52I should really go home and pack.
01:02:54What about Frodo?
01:02:55Frodo was my beard, if you like.
01:02:57I need my dining partners to be themselves
01:02:58and not overcompensate and try too hard and blow my cover.
01:03:02He did well.
01:03:04Out of interests, Romano Reyes.
01:03:07How did it rate?
01:03:08The food was excellent.
01:03:10The service was quaint.
01:03:11But the entertainment?
01:03:12That was next level.
01:03:17Compliments on Luigi.
01:03:18Cheers, bro.
01:03:20Being a trainer is thirsty work.
01:03:28She's amazing.
01:03:29She takes so much pleasure in running.
01:03:33I'll get met you, homie.
01:03:34Thanks, bro.
01:03:39Audrey Reynolds, aka the mystery diner,
01:03:43was 10km away during the actual time her mother was killed.
01:03:47Running at 2am?
01:03:49Yep.
01:03:49The optimal time after car loading.
01:03:52Oh.
01:03:52What's the latest on Trudy?
01:03:53Well, I checked Doug's, Trudy's, Ray's,
01:03:56and Eileen and Lawrence claim not to have seen either of them.
01:03:59They've gone to ground.
01:04:01They'll have left Brokenwood.
01:04:02Nothing says guilt like leaving town.
01:04:32They'll have to go home.
01:04:34Hello, Mike.
01:04:40How did you get here?
01:04:43Doug? Is he still here?
01:04:45If he was, it would implicate him.
01:04:46Trudy, you could have internal bleeding.
01:04:48I know you want to believe I killed Betty Reynolds.
01:04:51I didn't.
01:04:53But you have to believe she stabbed me.
01:04:57What I might want to believe and what I know can be different things.
01:05:01But I can only work with what I know.
01:05:02So talk me through it.
01:05:04You went to the Trattoria?
01:05:06How did that come about?
01:05:08I was trying to help my mum.
01:05:10Maybe we should try to get it back.
01:05:13Why the change of art?
01:05:15150k seems appealing, right?
01:05:17It's not about the money.
01:05:19She came to see me.
01:05:21After all that Lawrence has done,
01:05:22I feel you are being ungrateful.
01:05:25Okay, now is not the time.
01:05:27You have broken my heart.
01:05:28Mum, I'm working.
01:05:29Considering you've shamed the Spencer name.
01:05:31My surname is Nielsen.
01:05:33Only because you wouldn't take Frank's name.
01:05:35And then, prison?
01:05:36Don't.
01:05:37Dragging our name through the mud by marrying that loser, Doug Randall.
01:05:42You could have done so much better, but you sank so low.
01:05:46And what became of that?
01:05:47Do not dare.
01:05:48You killed a man.
01:05:50Get out of my pub.
01:05:51In the name of love?
01:05:53Get out.
01:05:53I'm not sure you even know the meaning of the word.
01:05:55Enough!
01:05:56Your father knew.
01:05:57Every time I wore that brooch, I felt his love against my heart.
01:06:07Same again, thanks.
01:06:08There's a double whiskey for my mate there.
01:06:16And you still want to help her?
01:06:18It's driving her crazy, right?
01:06:19Our mother's always been crazy.
01:06:21Yeah, but this might help give her some closure.
01:06:24I want nothing to do with it.
01:06:26In case you ever noticed, I'm in the middle of restaurant awards week.
01:06:31I figured reaching out couldn't do any harm.
01:06:36I thought I wasn't welcome here.
01:06:47I'd like to discuss a mutual arrangement whereby I get that brooch back.
01:06:52And I get?
01:06:53The satisfaction of knowing you've done the right thing.
01:06:55The satisfaction of making some amends for the heartbreak you caused.
01:06:58Do you really think, after all the humiliation and bad-mouthing,
01:07:03that I would sit here and hand it over in public?
01:07:07I hardly think anyone would notice.
01:07:09I think that would risk me looking weak.
01:07:11To simply hand over this beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery
01:07:16laced with so much meaning.
01:07:19It's worth tens of thousands, you know.
01:07:21It's not about the money.
01:07:22It's about putting things right.
01:07:24Thousands.
01:07:29How about...
01:07:31we meet somewhere else?
01:07:32So I suggested Ray's join.
01:07:35After everyone had gone.
01:07:37And Ray let you in?
01:07:38No.
01:07:39He says no one else had access.
01:07:40Please.
01:07:41The alarm's 5678.
01:07:43Same as the croc.
01:07:44Ray likes to keep things simple.
01:07:48Anyone see you come?
01:07:49Hope not.
01:07:52Through there.
01:07:57We alone?
01:08:09Take a seat.
01:08:11Coffee?
01:08:13Keeps me up.
01:08:14Like Frank used to.
01:08:16All night.
01:08:17Grappa then?
01:08:19Sure, why not?
01:08:41Frank gave this to me.
01:08:43It wasn't his to give.
01:08:44He gave it.
01:08:44You understand?
01:08:45I didn't steal it.
01:08:46I think they call that semantics.
01:08:49Nielsen's always thought you were cut above.
01:08:51Give me a break.
01:08:52Making me out to be a thief.
01:08:53You stole her husband.
01:08:55Your mother never had Frank.
01:08:58Give me the brooch.
01:08:59I'll give you what's mine.
01:09:00I don't see why.
01:09:01That brooch was a gift to my mother.
01:09:03From my father, Charlie.
01:09:05Frank Spencer was nothing but a low-life petty criminal at best.
01:09:08Prepared to steal from his wife.
01:09:10To give to his mistress.
01:09:11So you can see it never was yours.
01:09:14Give me the brooch.
01:09:15I was prepared to make a deal tonight to let bygones be bygones.
01:09:19Don't let me stop you.
01:09:19That's a thing not now.
01:09:21Looking at you, watching your lips move.
01:09:23I'm reminded of all the hate you sent my way when Frank and I fell in love.
01:09:27Give me the brooch.
01:09:29Sure.
01:09:30After you give me $50,000.
01:09:33Come on, I don't have that sort of money.
01:09:34I was under the impression that you were prepared to make that deal.
01:09:42$5,000.
01:09:43Take it all later.
01:09:46I think we're done here.
01:09:49It was then I may have crossed a line.
01:09:52Your loss.
01:09:55You bitch!
01:09:58Get out of my brother's trattoria!
01:10:00Seating a risk for a little one!
01:10:12Let's keep things civilized, shall we?
01:10:14Just hand it over.
01:10:16Take it.
01:10:18Ow!
01:10:18Get out of my room!
01:10:19Get out of my room!
01:10:22Get out of my room!
01:10:23Let's go you stupid!
01:10:33What have you done?
01:10:36Go on ambulance!
01:10:38Go on ambulance!
01:10:40No!
01:10:43No!
01:10:49No!
01:11:01That's all I can remember.
01:11:02Until Ray woke you up in the morning and Betty Reynolds lay dead.
01:11:07She stabbed me.
01:11:09So you keep saying.
01:11:10I know.
01:11:10Do you think I'd stab myself?
01:11:12Well, and then someone else arrived and stabbed Betty.
01:11:16If it was someone else, who might that be?
01:11:18Talk to Lawrence.
01:11:19Lawrence Streetgold.
01:11:20If it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened.
01:11:26Trudy.
01:11:28I could be miles away right now, but I chose to come here.
01:11:32Just talk to him.
01:11:33We did.
01:11:34He wasn't there.
01:11:35Unless you know something that I don't.
01:11:38I had a feeling you might say that.
01:11:44You can call that ambulance now.
01:11:52Sims, bring in Lawrence Streetgold.
01:11:54Sure.
01:11:54On what?
01:11:55All right.
01:11:55Can we get some service around here?
01:11:59I'm going to call you back.
01:12:01Well?
01:12:03Doug, what the hell?
01:12:05Put the gun down, Doug.
01:12:06You're going to charge him for what?
01:12:08For what?
01:12:08For being a prick.
01:12:10Mr. Streetgold, are you okay?
01:12:11Do I look okay?
01:12:12Lose the gun, Doug.
01:12:13Doug, what the hell are you doing?
01:12:15Citizen's arrest.
01:12:16You lot weren't doing anything.
01:12:17Okay, we need you to put it down.
01:12:20Well, do you think it'll blow his brains out?
01:12:22Well, yeah.
01:12:24If I was going to do that, I would have done it when I first rumbled him.
01:12:32Doug.
01:12:33Lawrence.
01:12:34New to constancy services?
01:12:36Yeah, I guess you better come in there.
01:12:39Leave your bloody clothes on, though.
01:12:42When you said on the phone, you wanted me to look over your books?
01:12:46Yeah.
01:12:47I was actually wanting you to take a close look at this.
01:12:50So here we are, doing what you lot couldn't.
01:12:53Okay, Doug, this is your last chance.
01:12:55Put the gun down.
01:12:58Oh, come on.
01:12:58It's not even loaded.
01:13:00What the hell?
01:13:01He'd hit your gun, though, didn't he?
01:13:03Oh, you maniac.
01:13:04Oh, you're a puncher.
01:13:05Hey, you want to go?
01:13:06Oh, you.
01:13:07That's enough.
01:13:09You're in deep trouble, Doug.
01:13:10Me?
01:13:11What about him?
01:13:12He kills Betty Reynolds and puts the blame on Drew.
01:13:14That's a lie.
01:13:15You tell that to the judge.
01:13:16You tell it to the cells.
01:13:18Breach of the peace.
01:13:19Wreckless use of an illegal firearm.
01:13:21But it's not even loaded.
01:13:22Take him to the cells to cool off.
01:13:24Oh, come on.
01:13:32Lawrence, not so fast.
01:13:34What?
01:13:35Since you're here...
01:13:47I've managed to calm Doug down.
01:13:49As usual, trying to do the right thing in the most inappropriate way.
01:13:54You're a menace, Doug.
01:13:56One day, someone's going to actually get hurt.
01:13:58Dude, I don't know if you noticed, but Trudy got stabbed.
01:14:01Was it your idea to bust her out of hospital?
01:14:03She was stranded in there.
01:14:05Like a ewe in a muddy paddock.
01:14:07You don't just leave them there.
01:14:09You had to do something.
01:14:11Trud's...
01:14:11If there's anything I can do.
01:14:13Yeah.
01:14:14There is.
01:14:15If you're going to have a window that opens...
01:14:17...someone's bound to climb out.
01:14:19I've charged Doug with disturbing a piece and reckless use of a firearm, even though...
01:14:25Oh, no!
01:14:31Police!
01:14:31No!
01:14:33Put it away!
01:14:34Not here.
01:14:35Not now.
01:14:37Let's get on with it, then.
01:14:40You want to know about the Nielsen Diamond brooch...
01:14:43...and whether or not I somehow stole it while killing Betty Reynolds and stabbing Trudy Nielsen.
01:14:49Did you?
01:14:50No.
01:14:51Because I had no incentive to do it.
01:14:54It's my understanding that it's worth a lot.
01:14:56It is.
01:14:58$150,000.
01:14:59If that's the price you put on sentimentality.
01:15:01Meaning?
01:15:02It is indeed worth a lot to Eileen.
01:15:05It was a gift from her first husband, her first true love.
01:15:09What price did they put on that?
01:15:10Priceless.
01:15:11But only to Eileen.
01:15:13Are you saying it's a fake?
01:15:15Albeit a very good one.
01:15:17When I conducted an audit for Eileen...
01:15:20...amongst her papers...
01:15:22...I found this.
01:15:28Purchased in 1976 for $5,000.
01:15:31Which is a lot of the time.
01:15:32Which means it would be worth around $150,000 now without question.
01:15:35We already know this.
01:15:36Except what you don't know is...
01:15:40...it's a fake.
01:15:41Not according to this.
01:15:43The certificate is a fake.
01:15:47If you look at the registration number, top right-hand corner, the 12-digit number.
01:15:53I count only 11.
01:15:55Precisely.
01:15:56The brooch, the paperwork, was all a ruse from her first husband to impress Eileen.
01:16:02Did you tell her this?
01:16:03And shatter a grieving widow's illusion of her once great husband?
01:16:08Look.
01:16:08Charlie Nielsen was a man who struggled at business.
01:16:12Good intentions, poor execution.
01:16:14But in the end, I mean, he was guilty of fobbing a fake brooch to his wife for the wedding
01:16:19anniversary when he had his back against the wall.
01:16:23But the point is, why would I kill a woman over a fake brooch?
01:16:28Yet you allowed Trudy to think it was something worth reclaiming.
01:16:31I knew how much that brooch meant to Eileen.
01:16:34So I figured if I play the money factor or motivate her kids to take action to get the thing
01:16:40back, I feel terrible.
01:16:43If Lawrence Treadgold is telling the truth, then Eileen Spencer believes that that brooch is worth $150,000.
01:16:51But then she would have to be capable of stabbing Betty Reynolds and her own daughter.
01:16:57And where is the brooch now?
01:16:58Hidden, waiting for the fuss to die down, then traded offshore.
01:17:03But it's a fake.
01:17:05She doesn't know that.
01:17:07And if she thinks it's real, then that's a strong motivation.
01:17:11So Eileen Spencer stabs her own daughter?
01:17:15Or gets her own daughter to do the dirty work.
01:17:28I've been thinking, and you can take this or leave it, but the person who stabbed Trudy Nelson was probably
01:17:32the same person that killed our Betty Reynolds.
01:17:35Thanks, Todd.
01:17:36I'll take that on board.
01:17:38Coffee up.
01:17:39Cheers.
01:17:41You think I should?
01:17:42Yeah, now let's do it.
01:17:46Is it Frodo's birthday?
01:17:47No, it's a tear-up.
01:17:48Life's not so bad, even though it sucks cake.
01:17:51Another true love has slipped from his grasp.
01:17:53And Luigi has an act for baking.
01:17:54I guess it's the Italian thing.
01:17:57Do you think it matters that it looks like a wedding cake?
01:18:00Hey, Frodo.
01:18:02It's to your new day.
01:18:03Oh, jeez, guys, you shouldn't...
01:18:06Apologies.
01:18:07Apologies.
01:18:08Apologies.
01:18:10Where are you?
01:18:12Your opera?
01:18:12It's got to be a metaphor.
01:18:14I'll get a spade.
01:18:14I'll clean it up.
01:18:15Yeah, I'll give you a hand.
01:18:19I'm sorry.
01:18:19I'm so sorry.
01:18:21Don't worry.
01:18:21It's all my fault.
01:18:22It always is.
01:18:42Frodo, can I borrow you for 20 minutes?
01:18:44What for?
01:18:45To test a theory.
01:18:47A theory on what?
01:18:47Space and time.
01:18:49Quantum physics.
01:18:50Could be my new specialty.
01:18:56Oh, watch your step, Frodo.
01:19:03Frodo, can you fit in that?
01:19:05If I get in there, you're not going to fill it with cement, right?
01:19:08It hadn't crossed my mind.
01:19:21I think this must have been how the earliest space travelers felt.
01:19:25So I'm thinking at some point you're going to tell me why I'm doing this and how it relates to
01:19:30quantum physics?
01:19:31Yeah, all in good time, Frodo.
01:19:32All in good time.
01:19:40Wait here.
01:19:41At the crime scene, there were four discernible sets of shoe prints.
01:19:46Ray, who arrives in the morning.
01:19:49Betty Reynolds, who was found dead.
01:19:52And Trudy Nielsen, who suffered a serious injury but left the scene through the front door.
01:19:58Whoever left this print exited through the back door.
01:20:02And, as it happens, this print is a match for the size and tread of the shoe that you are
01:20:08wearing.
01:20:09We know that Trudy and Betty arrived together and that Ray arrived the following morning through the back door.
01:20:15Which means that the owner of this print was already in the restaurant when the fatal assault took place.
01:20:20We know that the owner of this shoe was not in the bathroom because Trudy had checked.
01:20:27Meaning the only place that the owner of this shoe could be was under the stage.
01:20:34And that person had to be no bigger than Frodo to fit in.
01:20:39What is your relationship with Betty Reynolds?
01:20:42I didn't have one. I'd never met her.
01:20:45So how did you come to be in the same room when she was killed?
01:20:48After Ray fired me, I didn't know what to do, where to go.
01:20:53I had nowhere to sleep.
01:20:55Because the restaurant was your home.
01:20:57As soon as I got the job, I slipped Ray's key off of his ring one day and I got
01:21:02a copy made.
01:21:03It was a way to save money and, I mean, you know his alarm code.
01:21:08Five, six, seven, eight.
01:21:09Too easy, right?
01:21:12So after Ray shut the place, I went back in.
01:21:20I needed to get out of my heels and sequins.
01:21:35And I fell asleep.
01:21:37And then I woke to voices.
01:21:40Coffee?
01:21:41Keeps me up.
01:21:42Like Frank used to.
01:21:44All night.
01:21:45I figured if I just stayed still, they would do what they had to do and leave.
01:21:50It was none of my business.
01:21:52I just needed a place to sleep.
01:21:54And then I heard the fight.
01:21:56You bitch!
01:21:57Get out of my brother's triturium!
01:21:59See the arrest for a little one!
01:22:01Ow!
01:22:02Get out of my mouth!
01:22:03Get out of my mouth!
01:22:04Go, you stupid cow!
01:22:06What happened?
01:22:19Oh no!
01:22:21Oh no!
01:22:33So, Trudy planted some muscle in here to cheat?
01:22:35No, I swear.
01:22:37You were going to jump me, were you?
01:22:38No, I...
01:22:38That lot of use you were to a...
01:22:40Please, I would...
01:22:41You stay right where you are.
01:22:48Please do, you little treat.
01:22:51Look, see what you did?
01:22:52You stabbed Trudy Nielsen, didn't you?
01:22:55Please, I won't say anything.
01:22:56And then out of disgust, you stabbed yourself.
01:23:26You didn't think to call an ambulance?
01:23:29I thought they were dead.
01:23:31Both dead.
01:23:31Both dead.
01:23:32And I knew no one would believe that I had nothing to do with it.
01:23:54I dumped my bloodied clothes, and I found a place to sleep.
01:24:05I didn't kill Betty Reynolds.
01:24:07She did it to herself, I swear to you.
01:24:09I was just trying to save money to get to Manila to see my Lola.
01:24:12And I didn't ask for any of this.
01:24:16Noelle, there's one detail missing.
01:24:21I couldn't bring myself to sell it.
01:24:23I knew it would feel like blood money.
01:24:32My Lola always said, uh...
01:24:35Kung ano ang itananim, siang aanahim.
01:24:40You read what you saw?
01:24:46Noelle.
01:24:47So, this young man, Noel, did he kill Betty Reynolds?
01:24:53Uh, not directly.
01:24:55It was a self-inflicted wound.
01:24:58What about Trudy?
01:25:00Did he stab her?
01:25:01That was Betty.
01:25:03Told you.
01:25:04Of course it was.
01:25:06She took my husband, and then she tried to take my daughter as well.
01:25:10Noelle wanted this to return to you.
01:25:15Oh, there it is.
01:25:18Oh, Charlie.
01:25:21Oh, my dear Charlie.
01:25:26Thank you, detective.
01:25:28I'll leave you to it.
01:25:34Don't you dare say it's butt ugly.
01:25:40It's growing on me, Mum.
01:25:42Hmm.
01:25:58Henderson Park is still in the dark
01:26:01And I stop to put gas in the car
01:26:04I stand in line behind a barefoot man
01:26:07I'm just buying cigarettes in a chocolate bar
01:26:11I catch sight of my reflection in the smash-proof glass
01:26:17And I thank my lucky stars
01:26:24I thank my lucky stars
01:26:26And I thank my lucky stars
01:26:31Tina!
01:26:32It's in the dish.
01:26:33I will wait for Mike.
01:26:35Only he will understand.
01:26:39Sorry I'm late.
01:26:40Here's to the new funny.
01:26:41New house, new beginning.
01:26:44Maybe not all new.
01:26:45Yeah.
01:26:47Perhaps I should fire up the barbecue.
01:26:49No need.
01:26:50I have everything you want.
01:26:52Is that it?
01:26:52Spaghetti a la puttanesca
01:26:54And lasagna.
01:26:55Ah.
01:26:55Just the way you like it.
01:26:57A woman after my own heart.
01:26:58In dreams.
01:26:59I hope.
01:27:01Shall we?
01:27:02Oh, yeah.
01:27:03Yeah.
01:27:03So, uh...
01:27:04Oh, honey.
01:27:07And the dawn comes creeping
01:27:10Of the harbour mouth
01:27:13And I thank my lucky star
01:27:19I thank my lucky star
