00:00:46 [MUSIC]
00:00:58 [MUSIC]
00:01:08 >> Famous New Zealand writer.
00:01:15 >> Lee Frogan would have made it big.
00:01:18 >> You see, Mike is a man of deep cultural appreciation.
00:01:22 >> Where am I?
00:01:23 Sorry, just remind me what she's famous for exactly.
00:01:27 >> Well, writing about- >> Herself, memoirs, and essays.
00:01:33 Brilliant.
00:01:34 >> She's a McKinnon of McKinnon Lodge.
00:01:36 >> Audrey returned home a few months ago from Australia.
00:01:40 You should see the grounds, so beautiful.
00:01:43 >> How do you know?
00:01:44 >> I was staying there this weekend.
00:01:46 She was hosting a writer's retreat.
00:01:48 I can take you there.
00:01:50 >> The word's got out to the kaumātua.
00:01:52 They want to know when they can come and do their thing.
00:01:54 >> What thing?
00:01:55 >> My karakia to cleanse the area.
00:01:57 They probably want to put a bahu on as well,
00:01:59 stop people using the waterway for a while.
00:02:01 >> Of course.
00:02:02 Lead the way.
00:02:03 [MUSIC]
00:02:07 >> What do you think, she's providing her own bodies now?
00:02:11 [MUSIC]
00:02:15 >> Detectives, don't tell me you're joining us.
00:02:18 >> Ah, Dr. Kelton, nice to see you.
00:02:20 Uh, no.
00:02:22 >> Delis is who you need to talk to.
00:02:24 She's probably inside the main house.
00:02:26 I'll get my kid.
00:02:28 >> What's going on?
00:02:30 >> Should we be concerned?
00:02:32 >> Uh, Gina, I'm wondering if you should recuse yourself from this case.
00:02:35 >> Why?
00:02:36 No, Mike, please.
00:02:38 Being the first to touch the body was a special moment for me.
00:02:42 >> Which is why, arguably, there is a conflict of interest.
00:02:45 >> What there is, is a body rapidly developing rigor mortis
00:02:49 while you are obstructing a highly qualified pathologist from doing her job.
00:02:54 >> I will need a statement at some point.
00:02:57 >> I'm always happy to talk to you, Mike.
00:02:59 [MUSIC]
00:03:07 >> I appreciate that this is a difficult time.
00:03:10 [MUSIC]
00:03:12 You were Audrey's PA?
00:03:15 >> PA.
00:03:17 Best friend.
00:03:20 >> Any next of kin?
00:03:24 >> I'm the closest thing she had to family.
00:03:28 >> When was the last time you saw her?
00:03:30 >> Last night.
00:03:32 Here.
00:03:33 >> Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?
00:03:35 >> This whole weekend is unusual.
00:03:39 >> Yes. Some sort of writer's retreat.
00:03:43 >> Audrey's way of giving back.
00:03:45 Sharing her skills with aspiring local writers.
00:03:48 >> Welcome all.
00:03:51 How exciting to start this adventure together.
00:03:54 Telling the stories of your lives.
00:03:57 Now, what can you expect from this weekend?
00:04:02 Well, you will be challenged.
00:04:06 You will encounter elation.
00:04:10 Frustration.
00:04:12 Let's be honest.
00:04:14 If you're any kind of writer, procrastination.
00:04:19 This morning, I will share some of the skills I've picked up over my long, long years in the biz.
00:04:27 And this afternoon, you'll write.
00:04:31 This evening, you will share with the group and receive feedback.
00:04:36 Tomorrow, we'll do it all again. Sound good?
00:04:38 >> Perfect.
00:04:39 >> Now, if you wouldn't mind all handing over your mobile phones.
00:04:43 >> Why?
00:04:45 >> I require total focus.
00:04:58 >> I am on call, but I will put it on silent.
00:05:03 >> Thank you.
00:05:04 >> Oh, God.
00:05:05 They'll all be waiting for her.
00:05:07 What do we tell them?
00:05:08 >> Let us handle that.
00:05:10 >> Why do you need statements from us?
00:05:12 >> Was her death suspicious?
00:05:14 >> Unexplained.
00:05:15 This is simply procedure.
00:05:17 >> This is cooked.
00:05:18 >> The course is obviously over, but we will need you to stay close by until we've given you the all clear.
00:05:26 >> Wait, so we can't leave?
00:05:30 >> We would prefer if you didn't.
00:05:34 >> Are we getting our phones?
00:05:38 >> Oh, I'm jealous, you poor thing.
00:05:40 >> I'm so sorry.
00:05:42 >> Yeah, let me do it.
00:05:45 >> You should know that not everyone's here.
00:05:49 >> Who's missing?
00:05:51 >> Blair Donnelly's tent is empty.
00:05:53 So is Todd's.
00:05:55 Neither looks slept in.
00:05:57 And no sign of Blair's ute.
00:05:59 And no sign of Todd either.
00:06:01 Does he still live with his Uncle Walter?
00:06:03 >> As far as I'm aware.
00:06:05 We'll track them down and see what they know.
00:06:08 >> Great, which means I'll stick with Gina.
00:06:11 Well, unless either of you want to...
00:06:14 >> Nah.
00:06:15 >> I think, yeah.
00:06:17 >> Yeah.
00:06:19 [Music]
00:06:38 >> No idea where he is.
00:06:41 He's supposed to be on some blimmin' writing course.
00:06:45 I don't know why he might have left the course.
00:06:49 >> No idea.
00:06:51 You want me to call him?
00:06:53 >> Please.
00:06:55 [Music]
00:07:00 >> Mr Donnelly, hi.
00:07:02 Detective Sims.
00:07:03 Just a few minutes of your time.
00:07:05 We're making inquiries following the discovery of the body of Dame Audrey McKinnon.
00:07:12 It appears that she drowned at Ngākinawai Falls.
00:07:18 You were part of the retreat, but you weren't there this morning?
00:07:23 >> I left last night.
00:07:26 >> Why?
00:07:28 >> Wasn't really my thing.
00:07:30 >> You signed up for it, so you must have thought it might be.
00:07:32 >> Turns out I was wrong.
00:07:35 >> Uh, any prior connection to Dame Audrey?
00:07:40 >> No, just knew her name.
00:07:43 >> What time did you leave?
00:07:45 >> About 9, 9.30.
00:07:47 >> And after you left, you...
00:07:49 >> Came back home.
00:07:50 >> And stayed here?
00:07:52 >> All night.
00:07:53 >> By yourself?
00:07:55 >> Yep.
00:07:57 >> Okay, thank you.
00:07:58 We'll be in touch if we need any more information.
00:08:01 >> I can tell you two things.
00:08:03 >> Cause of death was drowning?
00:08:05 >> As you suspected.
00:08:07 Well done.
00:08:08 >> So, uh, late night walk gone wrong, she takes a tumble, ends up in the water.
00:08:12 >> No.
00:08:13 >> You seem very confident.
00:08:14 >> She didn't drown in the waterfall.
00:08:16 >> How do you know?
00:08:17 >> Because the water in her lungs is salt, not fresh.
00:08:22 Aren't you glad I didn't recuse myself?
00:08:26 >> Nice work, Gina.
00:08:28 >> Salt water.
00:08:32 >> Seems unlikely that Audrey would take a late night dip, swallow some seawater, drive back and then accidentally topple into the falls.
00:08:39 >> So, we're now dealing with a homicide inquiry.
00:08:41 >> Did Gina give time of death?
00:08:43 >> Yeah, between 11pm and 3am.
00:08:46 Let's get the team up there and check over Audrey's car.
00:08:49 >> What about the others?
00:08:50 >> Why not?
00:08:51 We need to go over the statements again too.
00:08:53 >> Hey Mike, how did you go with Gina's statement?
00:08:55 >> It's imminent.
00:08:58 >> Good, let us know if you need backup.
00:09:00 >> Ready for a meeting, Mike?
00:09:03 >> Carry on.
00:09:05 >> All the horse participants have been updated and reminded not to leave.
00:09:12 >> Except for Blair and Todd.
00:09:14 >> And Gus and Sienna.
00:09:15 They popped out, apparently.
00:09:17 I rang them.
00:09:18 They're on their way back.
00:09:19 [phone rings]
00:09:23 >> Todd, it's good to hear from you finally.
00:09:26 Where are you?
00:09:27 >> OK, stay put. I need to talk to both of you.
00:09:30 Is that Blair's?
00:09:32 >> I just came from there.
00:09:33 >> Do you want to take it?
00:09:34 >> Oh, no. You go. I'll...
00:09:36 >> Well, why did we suspect that?
00:09:40 >> We just went for coffee.
00:09:44 It's loud, isn't it?
00:09:45 There's been a new development, so we need to ask you all some more questions.
00:09:49 >> Oh, I just want to get on with my life, but...
00:09:52 >> We all do.
00:09:54 >> Well, as soon as we get started...
00:09:57 >> Call him.
00:10:03 He was the lab assistant last night.
00:10:05 He can confirm that I was there.
00:10:07 >> I will, but for now, let's just get your movement straight.
00:10:09 >> Am I a suspect?
00:10:11 >> No, protocols, Gina. That's all.
00:10:13 >> I received the call about a road accident and left the lodge at 8.16pm.
00:10:19 >> I really like swimming.
00:10:21 It cools you.
00:10:23 >> That's the water.
00:10:25 Water is cool.
00:10:27 It moves as you move.
00:10:30 >> Sorry.
00:10:35 >> And you got back?
00:10:41 >> 5.23am.
00:10:43 It didn't seem worth going to sleep, so I decided to do some more writing.
00:10:47 But the words weren't flowing.
00:10:48 >> So you went for a walk?
00:10:50 >> I thought being in nature, it might clear my writer's block.
00:10:54 >> And instead, you found a dead body?
00:10:57 >> It would make an excellent chapter in my book.
00:11:00 >> Have you always been interested in writing?
00:11:03 >> With all the stories I have, yes.
00:11:07 I always thought I should write a medical memoir.
00:11:11 I wasn't the only one with that idea.
00:11:13 Country doctor books are always popular, so I thought, why not give it a go?
00:11:19 >> Did you know that your father would also be on the course?
00:11:24 >> No. We've been estranged for years.
00:11:26 >> So not a happy reunion, then?
00:11:29 >> No.
00:11:31 >> So wonderful to see you.
00:11:33 Big surprise.
00:11:35 >> So you came for the course and Abby was a bonus?
00:11:40 >> I came to see Audrey.
00:11:42 Had to get past Diller's first, though.
00:11:45 >> You're not welcome here, Lloyd.
00:11:47 >> I was being overprotective, I suppose.
00:11:51 I didn't want Audrey upset.
00:11:53 She and Lloyd were together a long time ago.
00:11:56 He didn't take it well when she ended things.
00:11:59 There's been no contact between them since.
00:12:02 Until Arthur Dryden turned up.
00:12:04 >> Please don't make a scene.
00:12:05 >> I just want to talk to Audrey, that's it. Talk!
00:12:08 >> No, it's not going to happen.
00:12:10 Not as Arthur Dryden, and certainly not as Lloyd Culton!
00:12:14 >> What's going on?
00:12:17 >> Lloyd. I told him he couldn't be here.
00:12:21 He used a false name.
00:12:22 >> You're here for the retreat?
00:12:25 Let's welcome Lloyd Culton to the course.
00:12:32 >> I wasn't happy about it, but what could I do?
00:12:43 When I saw my daughter, it threw me for six, I have to say.
00:12:47 >> Why were you estranged?
00:12:51 >> I made lots of mistakes in my life.
00:12:53 Abby can tell you that.
00:12:55 >> He ditched my mother for some other woman.
00:12:58 When was it?
00:12:59 >> When I was little.
00:13:01 Mum died not long after, and he never showed his face again.
00:13:06 >> So who looked after you?
00:13:07 >> Mum's sister.
00:13:09 I had a way better life with her than I ever would have had with him.
00:13:13 >> One last question.
00:13:25 Did you get the sense that anyone at the retreat had a prior connection with Audrey?
00:13:29 >> There was a strange moment between Dame Audrey and Sienna Lake.
00:13:32 >> I wasn't expecting an illustrated essay.
00:13:35 What can I say? I'm very visual.
00:13:39 >> Santa Martinez. It's a beautiful spot.
00:13:43 >> You know it.
00:13:44 >> When were you there?
00:13:46 >> This time last year.
00:13:48 >> Why?
00:13:49 >> I thought our paths might have crossed. Apparently not.
00:13:52 >> They say a picture paints a thousand words.
00:13:54 I think Sienna was cheating to reach her word limit.
00:13:58 >> Maybe. Thank you, Gina.
00:14:00 >> Anytime. I will be working or writing if you have any more questions.
00:14:05 >> I thought you had writer's block.
00:14:07 >> I'm on block now, Mike. And flowing freely.
00:14:10 >> Daniel?
00:14:15 >> Gina!
00:14:16 >> So you survived your encounter with Gina then?
00:14:23 >> Anything to report?
00:14:25 >> Turns out Todd spent the night at Blair's.
00:14:28 He did a Goldilocks.
00:14:30 >> Eh?
00:14:31 >> Broke in and crashed out.
00:14:33 >> Nah, I just followed him home from the lodge on my trusty steed.
00:14:37 >> You have a horse?
00:14:39 >> Nah.
00:14:40 50cc of pure power.
00:14:48 >> Why did you follow him home?
00:14:51 >> Just to make sure he was OK.
00:14:53 >> I told him to leave me alone, but...
00:14:55 >> But I figured he wasn't in a good way, so I thought I'd stick around.
00:14:59 Crashed out in the spare room.
00:15:01 >> And why weren't you in a good way?
00:15:03 >> The writing thing.
00:15:07 Stirred up some staff that time.
00:15:09 >> I thought the course might distract him.
00:15:13 He's been a bit down since.
00:15:15 You know?
00:15:17 >> Turns out telling a few funny farm stories isn't enough to get you over your wife dying.
00:15:23 >> My bad.
00:15:24 >> No, Mike.
00:15:26 It was a good idea, it's just...
00:15:30 [Music]
00:15:32 >> Todd's...
00:15:34 He's been amazing since Marnie died.
00:15:37 He's really helped me out with the farm and...
00:15:40 other things.
00:15:42 I didn't realise he'd stayed last night, but he knows he's more than welcome here any time.
00:15:47 >> Kia ora ewa.
00:15:49 >> Pono.
00:15:51 Hea mea nui tō tāua whanaungatanga ki a hau.
00:15:58 >> Get you.
00:15:59 >> He's been teaching me a bit of te reo too.
00:16:03 >> Tēnō pai.
00:16:05 But if your uncle calls, answer your phone.
00:16:10 >> Did you ask Todd if he knew Audrey?
00:16:18 >> Yeah, and no.
00:16:19 We can see he only met her yesterday.
00:16:21 >> OK.
00:16:24 [Door opens]
00:16:25 [Music]
00:16:30 >> What's up?
00:16:36 >> You need to see this.
00:16:37 >> Well, if it's salt water we're looking for, it doesn't get much better than this.
00:16:50 30 per cent epsom salts.
00:16:53 I've dropped a sample off with Gina.
00:16:55 >> Dame Audrey drowned in a flotation tank?
00:16:57 >> Most likely.
00:16:58 Accidentally or otherwise.
00:17:00 >> No signs of a struggle, though.
00:17:02 >> And then somebody moved her body to the falls.
00:17:05 >> Taking one of either two routes.
00:17:08 The walking track...
00:17:10 >> Which is a long way to lug a body.
00:17:12 >> Or road access, which comes past the entrance to the lodge.
00:17:15 >> But all the riders' cars were parked by the tents.
00:17:19 >> And no one reported hearing any vehicles.
00:17:21 >> New acquisition, you reckon?
00:17:23 >> Yeah, according to Dillis.
00:17:25 >> It's been such a faff.
00:17:27 The installer was back and forth all day yesterday, fiddling with parts.
00:17:31 >> Do you know if Audrey used the tank last night?
00:17:35 >> No, I honestly couldn't tell you.
00:17:37 Once the course wrapped up for the day, we went our own ways.
00:17:40 >> The tank installation guy, Benny Paulson, he owns the Broken Wood franchise.
00:17:45 >> Thanks.
00:17:46 >> How do you drown in a tank that's designed to make you float?
00:17:50 >> Well, I think she had a bit of help.
00:17:52 >> And then she was helped into Ngā Kinewai Falls. Why?
00:17:54 >> Well, obvious answer, to make her death look accidental.
00:17:57 >> By moving her from salt water and dumping her in fresh.
00:18:00 Somebody didn't think that through.
00:18:02 >> Yeah, they'd have been better off dumping her at the beach.
00:18:04 >> Maybe they were in a hurry.
00:18:06 >> So we're looking for either someone time poor or stupid.
00:18:10 >> Hmm.
00:18:11 People think it's easy, but it's a 24/7 hustle.
00:18:14 You have to find your niche.
00:18:17 >> And yours is?
00:18:19 >> I'm kind of in a crossover space.
00:18:21 Lifestyle, travel, fitness, extreme adventure.
00:18:24 >> Like going without Wi-Fi for two days?
00:18:28 >> Like hiking the Stampy Trout in Alaska solo.
00:18:32 That is what got me the book deal, and that's why I'm here.
00:18:35 >> Sienna Lake, influencer.
00:18:39 >> What is an influencer exactly?
00:18:42 >> It's someone who spends their entire life on social media
00:18:46 and knows how to suck people into giving them lots of free stuff.
00:18:49 >> Not so stupid after all, then.
00:18:51 >> But Sienna wasn't the only one chasing a book deal.
00:18:54 Gus Stanson, 200 metre breaststroke champion and Olympic silver medallist.
00:19:00 >> You've got to know when to get out of the pool, right?
00:19:04 That's why I'm here.
00:19:06 Gus Stanson, the untold story.
00:19:11 That's the book I'm writing.
00:19:13 Well, it's either that or maybe I was thinking
00:19:18 Gus Stanson, in the deep end.
00:19:22 >> He thinks he doesn't need a ghostwriter.
00:19:25 >> Gus is a big strong lad. He could probably move her body if he had to.
00:19:29 >> He says he was with Sienna all night.
00:19:31 >> Are they a couple?
00:19:33 >> A couple might be a bit of a stretch. From what I can make out, they hooked up yesterday.
00:19:37 >> Hello, Mike.
00:19:39 >> Gina.
00:19:40 >> Your saline sample.
00:19:42 You were right, of course.
00:19:44 It matches what I found in Audrey's lungs.
00:19:47 >> Thanks.
00:19:48 >> Yeah, thanks, Gina.
00:19:49 >> You're welcome, Mike.
00:19:51 >> Maybe it's time I gave this Vinnie Paulson a call.
00:19:56 >> Any questions? Fire away.
00:20:02 >> Is it possible to drown in one of these?
00:20:05 >> No. Never.
00:20:07 Impossible.
00:20:09 I mean, once, that I know of, but not here.
00:20:13 Not our brand.
00:20:15 I personally stand behind all our installations.
00:20:18 >> I have reason to believe that someone died last night in the tank that you installed.
00:20:22 >> What?
00:20:23 >> Audrey McKinnon?
00:20:25 >> No. No, no. No.
00:20:28 >> You did install a tank at the McKinnon Lodge.
00:20:31 >> Yeah, but...
00:20:32 >> And you were there yesterday?
00:20:34 >> I had to replace a part.
00:20:36 >> What time did you leave?
00:20:38 >> Actually, it's a bit of a story.
00:20:40 There was a writers' retreat thing there.
00:20:43 The swimmer guy, Gus Stanton, he was there.
00:20:46 He's so great.
00:20:47 >> Chicks love it.
00:20:48 >> Ah!
00:20:49 Can I take a selfie with you?
00:20:51 >> Yeah, bro. Yeah.
00:20:52 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:53 >> Yeah.
00:20:54 >> Yeah.
00:20:55 >> All right.
00:20:56 >> All right.
00:20:57 >> Ah!
00:20:58 >> Thanks, man.
00:20:59 >> You're welcome. You're welcome.
00:21:01 >> Mr. Paulson.
00:21:03 >> Oh, for me?
00:21:04 >> For going the extra mile.
00:21:06 You're welcome to eat with us if you'd like.
00:21:09 >> For real?
00:21:10 >> Dilys ordered far too much food.
00:21:12 I knew she would.
00:21:14 >> Sweet.
00:21:15 Come on, let's go.
00:21:17 One beer leads to another, and then...
00:21:19 >> Where are you off to?
00:21:21 >> Home.
00:21:22 >> I don't think so.
00:21:24 Keys.
00:21:25 >> Eh?
00:21:26 >> Keys!
00:21:27 >> Oh.
00:21:28 >> There's a spare tent second from the left.
00:21:30 You can spend the night there.
00:21:32 You'll get these back in the morning.
00:21:34 >> OK. All right.
00:21:35 >> The second I crashed out at 10.30,
00:21:37 got up at 5.00, I was a bit embarrassed.
00:21:41 I just wanted to get out of there, so...
00:21:43 >> You went and got your keys?
00:21:45 >> The door was unlocked.
00:21:46 They were just sitting there.
00:21:48 >> And then you went home.
00:21:50 You didn't see anyone at the house?
00:21:52 Talk to anyone?
00:21:53 >> No.
00:21:54 >> Thanks for your help.
00:21:57 Ah, where was your van parked?
00:22:00 >> Around the back.
00:22:01 >> Not with the other cars?
00:22:03 >> No.
00:22:04 >> Someone will be in touch.
00:22:06 We might need to take a look at it.
00:22:08 >> I saw him at dinner, of course.
00:22:11 I had no idea he stayed the night.
00:22:13 >> Do you always lock your doors at night?
00:22:16 >> Usually.
00:22:17 >> Mr Paulson claims that he found this one
00:22:19 unlocked at 5.00 in the morning.
00:22:22 >> Oh.
00:22:24 It could have slipped my mind.
00:22:25 It was a long day.
00:22:27 >> Did Audrey have any enemies?
00:22:31 [laughs]
00:22:33 >> Well, she didn't make many friends.
00:22:36 Hands down, submissions.
00:22:42 Blair.
00:22:46 If I have to read another
00:22:49 "Oh, look, I'm up to my shoulder in a cow" story,
00:22:53 please let it be written by someone
00:22:55 who knows how to string a sentence together.
00:23:01 >> There was no sign of forced entry,
00:23:03 and Dillis was vague about whether she'd unlocked it or not.
00:23:06 Anyone could have come in or out.
00:23:08 And Vinnie's van was parked out the back
00:23:11 till about 5.00 in the morning.
00:23:13 >> Close to the road to the Falls.
00:23:15 >> And everyone else's was here.
00:23:17 >> Close to the tents.
00:23:18 Much more chance of being heard.
00:23:23 Blair.
00:23:25 Hi.
00:23:27 This is DSS, you bit—
00:23:28 just need to grab my phone and things.
00:23:31 That all right?
00:23:32 >> Yeah, of course.
00:23:35 Well, this is just routine checks.
00:23:36 Everyone's fine with it.
00:23:38 We will actually need to look at your vehicle, too.
00:23:41 Any problems with that?
00:23:43 >> No, sure.
00:23:45 Of course.
00:23:57 >> The Chalmers.
00:23:59 They've found something.
00:24:02 >> It's a match to Audrey's top.
00:24:05 It's a good bet this is where she went into the water.
00:24:14 >> A car couldn't get this close.
00:24:16 She must have been carried at least some of the way.
00:24:18 >> So are we back to the big, strong man theory?
00:24:21 >> Could be two people, of course.
00:24:23 >> Vinnie and a new best friend, Gus.
00:24:25 >> Yeah, or Blair and Todd.
00:24:27 >> Or Gus and his new girlfriend.
00:24:30 >> I had a word.
00:24:31 >> Yeah, the timing's not great.
00:24:36 Got a championship next month.
00:24:39 Could be my last.
00:24:41 Oh, well, the upside is I get to be here.
00:24:44 >> Hey, babe, did you—
00:24:46 Oh, sorry, I'll, um—
00:24:48 >> No, no, this is good.
00:24:50 I need to follow up on something you said earlier, so—
00:24:57 Last night, you two—
00:24:59 >> Were here.
00:25:01 Together.
00:25:03 >> Is this a new thing?
00:25:06 >> We meet yesterday, if that's what you're getting at.
00:25:09 >> Noticed each other straight away.
00:25:11 >> We don't seem to have received your full payment.
00:25:13 >> Just a deposit.
00:25:14 >> Let's talk about that.
00:25:16 I thought we could do a deal.
00:25:18 Imagine all the new readers you can reach if I put a post on my page.
00:25:32 She didn't go for it, her loss.
00:25:35 No biggie.
00:25:36 Moved on.
00:25:38 >> See you, it's cool.
00:25:40 >> Cool, Jean.
00:26:00 Yeah, it meant I didn't have too much to present at the old feedback session after dinner.
00:26:06 >> How long had that session gone?
00:26:09 >> Not super late, yeah.
00:26:12 Kind of fell apart after that Blair guy walked out.
00:26:16 And then I bumped into that Vinnie guy, had a couple of beers,
00:26:22 and then we probably got back here, what, 11?
00:26:26 >> Yeah.
00:26:27 >> Yeah.
00:26:28 >> True.
00:26:29 >> Yeah.
00:26:31 >> Well, that doesn't give us much, does it?
00:26:42 >> I'll see you back at the station.
00:26:44 There's something I want to do first.
00:26:50 >> Would it kill him to tell us what he's thinking occasionally?
00:26:57 >> Debbie, come back, please.
00:26:59 >> No, please, Debbie.
00:27:01 >> Get away.
00:27:04 >> You talk to Lloyd.
00:27:05 I'll take Abby.
00:27:10 >> Abby, are you okay?
00:27:12 >> I just need to get out of here.
00:27:13 I want my car.
00:27:15 >> Yeah, soon, I promise.
00:27:16 I'm sorry.
00:27:18 Abby, did something happen?
00:27:21 You'll love this.
00:27:23 The other woman I told you about, the one that Lloyd left my mother for,
00:27:26 I just found out who it was.
00:27:28 >> I'm so stupid.
00:27:30 >> What do you mean?
00:27:31 >> After dinner, we all had to read some of our work out loud.
00:27:33 >> I thought that by leaving, I was sparing her more of my mistakes,
00:27:39 that she would be better off without me around.
00:27:42 But that was just another mistake, one that I've regretted every single day since.
00:27:49 And if I could rewrite the last 40 years, I would.
00:27:56 I started to think there might have been a chance for us after all,
00:27:59 so I went to talk to him this afternoon.
00:28:03 I knew he couldn't be far away, so I waited.
00:28:18 It's what he would have read last night if I hadn't been there,
00:28:22 a letter to the love of his life.
00:28:25 >> But instead he talked about you.
00:28:27 >> Yeah, because he didn't want me knowing that Audrey was the woman he abandoned us for.
00:28:31 >> Or he was trying to reach out.
00:28:32 >> Oh, 40 years too late.
00:28:34 I told you that.
00:28:35 My mum died.
00:28:36 What I didn't tell you was that she killed herself because of it.
00:28:45 >> Looking good.
00:28:47 Yeah, meds are on top of it.
00:28:49 Thing with Parkinson's, I'll die with it, not of it.
00:28:53 >> Todd!
00:28:55 Detective Sheppard wants to talk to you.
00:28:58 >> One of my team came looking for you this morning.
00:29:01 He didn't find you.
00:29:03 >> I wasn't hiding.
00:29:04 I called him as soon as I knew he was looking for me.
00:29:06 >> From your cell phone?
00:29:08 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:29:09 >> But how come you had yours when everyone else didn't get them back till this morning?
00:29:13 >> Because I never handed it in.
00:29:17 I don't have one.
00:29:22 >> Why did you lie?
00:29:23 >> It wasn't really a lie.
00:29:24 I mean, it was, but only because Uncle's sick and he needs to be able to get a hold of it.
00:29:28 >> Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:29 Don't make this about me.
00:29:34 He couldn't go five minutes without his phone.
00:29:37 Now, anyone his age, he could.
00:29:41 >> And on that note, Audrey's phone records came back.
00:29:45 She made one phone call early last night to her publisher, Geoffrey Sutton.
00:29:50 He's an old friend.
00:29:52 According to him, they talked for about five minutes, but nothing of any consequence.
00:29:57 >> Meanwhile, Abbie worked out that Lloyd's other woman was Audrey, and she wasn't thrilled about it.
00:30:05 >> Lloyd wasn't a very happy camper either.
00:30:07 Abbie was just a toddler when all this happened.
00:30:12 One day, Daddy wasn't there.
00:30:16 Then her mum was gone as well.
00:30:19 Terrible business.
00:30:21 >> If we're really looking for a motive, who did Abbie really blame for what happened to her mother, Lloyd or Audrey?
00:30:29 >> The big flaw in that theory being that Abbie didn't know about Audrey until today.
00:30:36 >> Well, so she says.
00:30:39 Hi, Gina.
00:30:41 >> So Lloyd and Abbie's cars both came back clear of anything linking them to Audrey.
00:30:46 So did Gus Mancienas, but we're still waiting on Vinnie's.
00:30:50 >> I'm just about to do a fish and chip run.
00:30:52 >> Yes, I'll call in on my way.
00:30:56 >> How is Gina?
00:30:57 She just found oxycodone in Audrey's system.
00:31:01 >> It troubled me that she'd have drowned in the tank without any sign of a struggle.
00:31:06 Tell me what you know about oxycodone.
00:31:09 >> It's a highly potent synthetic opioid, commonly used as pain relief.
00:31:14 >> And its effects?
00:31:16 >> Well, when abused, drowsiness will be one.
00:31:20 >> Drowsiness, respiratory depression, possible loss of consciousness.
00:31:25 >> Death?
00:31:26 >> It's a very dangerous drug.
00:31:28 Thousands of overdoses every year.
00:31:31 It can be ingested or injected, but given the absence of the puncture wounds, the probable method in this case was ingestion.
00:31:40 >> Pills?
00:31:41 >> Very likely.
00:31:43 I'll check with Audrey's doctor, see what prescription she has.
00:31:48 >> Of course, there was one person on the retreat who could have accessed this drug very easily.
00:31:53 No prescription necessary.
00:31:58 >> Dr. Carlton, check with the hospital, see if they have any of the drug missing.
00:32:04 I'm going to talk to Dilys, and then I'll call her tonight.
00:32:11 >> Do you think he wants me to go now?
00:32:13 >> Yeah, I think you probably should.
00:32:15 >> Hey, come on.
00:32:16 >> Off you go, you better go.
00:32:23 >> Sorry to bother.
00:32:24 Bit of an update?
00:32:25 >> No, of course.
00:32:28 >> Evening.
00:32:32 >> Lloyd reminded me I needed to eat.
00:32:34 >> That, and I thought you might need some company.
00:32:37 >> Of course.
00:32:38 All right, I'll get out of your way then.
00:32:46 >> You two seem to be getting on a little better.
00:32:50 >> You said you had an update.
00:32:52 >> We received a toxicology report showing the presence of oxycodone in Audrey's blood results.
00:32:58 It's a heavy-duty pain relief, only available on prescription or the black market.
00:33:04 >> I see.
00:33:06 I was wondering if Audrey had a prescription.
00:33:10 >> If you're suggesting that she was self-medicating, it was with alcohol, like everybody else.
00:33:18 >> I'll need to talk to her doctor.
00:33:21 >> Of course.
00:33:22 Dr. Forbes.
00:33:23 Now, there's a direct number here somewhere.
00:33:36 >> Dilys knows nothing about Audrey having a prescription for those meds.
00:33:40 Neither does her GP.
00:33:42 Ah, morning.
00:33:43 >> Hi.
00:33:44 >> But Audrey is a new patient.
00:33:46 They're awaiting her medical records from Sydney.
00:33:49 >> I swung by the hospital, nothing unaccounted for.
00:33:51 And I made a detour on my way in once I realised that Blair Donnelly's wife received palliative care at home.
00:34:00 Do you recall if your wife was given a drug called oxycodone?
00:34:05 >> Yeah.
00:34:07 >> Was there any left over?
00:34:09 >> After she died, yes.
00:34:12 >> And what did you do with it?
00:34:13 >> I chucked it.
00:34:14 What has that got to do with anything?
00:34:15 >> It's an aspect of our enquiries.
00:34:17 >> For God's sake, I wasn't even there.
00:34:19 >> So you've said.
00:34:21 So why exactly did you leave?
00:34:26 >> The look on the sow's face was pure relief.
00:34:30 I chucked her some cabbage and I think the oink she gave me was a thank you.
00:34:37 >> What are you running away from, Blair?
00:34:39 >> What do you mean?
00:34:40 >> Did you really come here to write silly animal stories?
00:34:43 I don't think so.
00:34:46 >> You think my life is silly?
00:34:47 >> No, no, I don't. Far from it.
00:34:49 But you're writing around something. It's a blockage.
00:34:53 You want to write about something more important than a grateful big butcher won't let yourself.
00:34:57 Why is that?
00:34:59 >> Well, you're the expert.
00:35:00 >> No.
00:35:01 No, the only person who knows what's holding you back is you.
00:35:05 And whatever it is, it's time to let go.
00:35:09 >> What have I got all this wrong, haven't I?
00:35:11 Haven't I?
00:35:13 [door slams]
00:35:15 >> And you said that was around 9, 9.30?
00:35:20 >> Yes. I don't know.
00:35:23 I didn't have my phone.
00:35:24 >> Because you didn't have your phone and you didn't think to ask for it.
00:35:27 >> I just wanted to get out of there, yeah?
00:35:31 Ask Todd. Ask Todd. He'll tell you.
00:35:34 >> I get the feeling that Todd will tell us whatever Blair wants him to tell us.
00:35:37 >> Yeah, those two are pretty tight.
00:35:39 Bring them in. Put some heat on them.
00:35:42 Harsh feedback from a writing tutor. Is that really a motive for murder?
00:35:45 >> I don't know. Blair seems pretty volatile.
00:35:48 Plus, we only have his word that he ditched the leftover oxy.
00:35:51 >> Has forensics had a look at his vehicle yet?
00:35:54 >> Yeah, actually, that should have come through by now.
00:35:58 Um, all clear.
00:36:02 Vinnie, however, boy, oh, boy.
00:36:08 [Music]
00:36:11 >> Your van showed signs of recent cleaning.
00:36:14 >> Yeah, I told your peeps it would. I clean it every weekend.
00:36:17 >> Well, nevertheless, our peeps found hair in the back.
00:36:22 >> Hair that matches Audrey McKinnon.
00:36:25 >> Well, nah.
00:36:28 >> There's something else we'd like you to take a look at.
00:36:32 >> Dash cam footage from your van, time-stamped around 2am on Sunday morning.
00:36:38 >> No, can't be.
00:36:40 >> Clearly shows your vehicle being driven from the McKinnon Lodge to the car park near the top of Ngā Kīnawai Falls.
00:36:47 >> No, that's nuts.
00:36:50 >> Let's talk about it down at the station, shall we?
00:36:54 >> You told us that you followed Blair from the retreat because you were worried about him.
00:37:00 What did you think he might do?
00:37:03 >> Dunno. Sometimes he hits the booze a bit hard.
00:37:05 >> What about drugs? Weed? Something stronger?
00:37:09 >> Nah, I mean, maybe like a sleeping pill or something.
00:37:14 >> Did he take a pill the other night?
00:37:16 >> If he took a pill, I didn't see him do it.
00:37:19 >> And neither of you left the house again that night?
00:37:21 >> I didn't.
00:37:23 >> What about Blair?
00:37:25 >> He was there when I went to sleep and there when I woke up.
00:37:29 >> I don't know what else to tell you.
00:37:33 >> As long as what you're telling me is the truth.
00:37:36 >> It wasn't me driving that van. You can't prove it was.
00:37:39 >> You've already told us that you entered the McKinnon house to get your keys.
00:37:43 >> Not at 2 in the morning, I didn't.
00:37:45 >> Was there a spare seat anywhere?
00:37:47 >> Yeah, at home.
00:37:49 What, you think I walked there to get them in the middle of the night so I could walk all the way back just to drive home again?
00:37:55 >> Not when you could have just walked into the McKinnon kitchen three hours earlier than you said you did.
00:38:00 >> I didn't go anywhere, I was asleep.
00:38:04 Check my phone. Check the GPS on my phone.
00:38:07 >> Well, that'll only tell us where your phone was, not where you were.
00:38:11 >> No one goes anywhere without their...
00:38:14 Check my phone.
00:38:17 >> Well, he was right. The phone didn't move.
00:38:21 >> He may not have had a motive for killing Audrey, but he certainly had one for moving the body.
00:38:25 >> And what's that?
00:38:26 >> Well, you're Vinnie. You've invested thousands in selling flotation tanks.
00:38:30 Do you really want a famous client found dead in one?
00:38:33 >> Right, so if whoever killed Audrey needed help moving her body...
00:38:36 >> Then Vinnie was their man.
00:38:37 >> But who, though? The only person he really talked to was Gus.
00:38:42 >> Ha! Thanks, man.
00:38:45 >> Well, that's his story.
00:38:47 >> We need everybody else's. I want to know their specific dealings with Vinnie Paulson.
00:38:52 [music]
00:39:00 >> Going far?
00:39:01 >> Yeah, well, I'm not doing a runner, if that's what you're worried about.
00:39:03 >> Pleased to hear it. We have a few more questions.
00:39:06 >> Oh, can it wait? I said I'd nip into town and pick up a few things for Dillis.
00:39:11 >> We'll talk later.
00:39:13 [music]
00:39:17 >> Wait! Seriously, Gus! What is your problem?
00:39:20 >> Not now! You!
00:39:21 >> Oh, be like that then! See you back here!
00:39:23 >> Oh, what? What am I supposed to have done now?
00:39:26 [music]
00:39:29 >> Good question.
00:39:30 [music]
00:39:35 >> Hi, Gus.
00:39:36 [music]
00:39:39 >> What was going on there?
00:39:40 >> With Sienna? Oh, nothing. We're just pretty keen to leave.
00:39:45 [music]
00:39:48 >> You spoke with Vinnie Paulson the other night at dinner.
00:39:52 [music]
00:39:54 >> The tank guy?
00:39:55 >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's high case. Yeah.
00:39:57 >> What did you talk about?
00:39:59 >> Flotation tanks, mainly. You couldn't shut him up.
00:40:03 >> And after dinner?
00:40:05 >> I think he left.
00:40:08 >> No. He stayed the night in a spare tent.
00:40:11 >> Oh, and you spent the night with Sienna.
00:40:14 It's getting weird how you keep asking about that, mate.
00:40:21 Yes, I spent the night with Sienna.
00:40:23 >> And you were together the whole night?
00:40:26 >> I guess.
00:40:27 >> You don't seem sure.
00:40:29 >> Well, I was conked out.
00:40:31 >> The pain didn't keep you awake?
00:40:34 From your leg?
00:40:36 >> Yes. Ah, yes, it did.
00:40:39 But the thing is, is I am on some pretty mean painkillers, so...
00:40:47 >> What ones? Can you show us?
00:40:52 >> Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yep. The painkillers.
00:40:56 [music]
00:41:03 >> Do you know what happened? I had the last of them last night
00:41:06 because I didn't think I'd be here today, and so I've got none left.
00:41:14 >> What were they?
00:41:15 >> Paracetamol.
00:41:19 >> Nothing on prescription?
00:41:21 >> No.
00:41:25 >> Thanks, Gus. We appreciate you sticking around.
00:41:29 >> Yeah. You're welcome.
00:41:34 >> I understand your colleague was here this morning asking about certain analgesics.
00:41:38 I assume I'm still allowed to work, and my patients aren't in danger from a potential killer?
00:41:43 >> Do doctors such as yourself ever carry personal suppliers of such drugs?
00:41:49 >> What, from all the house calls I make?
00:41:51 >> Oh, not now. I'm working, so no improvements there.
00:41:56 >> Please, I just want to talk.
00:41:59 >> You've got one minute.
00:42:01 >> Sorry, I'm just really—
00:42:02 >> No, of course. That's OK.
00:42:05 To answer your question, this isn't the 1950s.
00:42:07 I don't have a Gladstone bag with a personal supply of opioids.
00:42:11 >> She would say that, wouldn't she?
00:42:13 >> What about any connection to Vinnie?
00:42:15 >> Never got a chance to ask. Lloyd showed up.
00:42:19 >> He said he was running errands for Dillis.
00:42:21 >> Well, if Dillis desperately wanted him to talk to Abbey, then, yeah, I guess he can tick that one off the list.
00:42:28 How'd he get on with the swimmer boy?
00:42:30 >> He can't vouch for Sienna being with him all night, and he claimed he'd run out of painkillers.
00:42:36 >> Well, so how's he coping with his knee then?
00:42:39 >> About that. We just spoke to Sienna.
00:42:41 >> It's not real. His injury, he faked it to get out of training so he could come on this course.
00:42:47 >> Are you sure?
00:42:48 >> Trust me, he couldn't do what we did with an injured knee.
00:42:51 >> Did you see Gus taking painkillers at any point?
00:42:55 >> Or anyone else, for that matter.
00:42:57 >> No. Gus is fine. No one was popping any pills.
00:43:02 >> Why would she throw him under the bus like that?
00:43:05 >> Well...
00:43:06 >> He said I wasn't with him all night? Why would he do that?
00:43:09 >> Well, he said...
00:43:10 >> I was with him. I might have gone to pee, but whatever.
00:43:15 >> So did you go and pee?
00:43:18 >> You guys ask the creepiest questions.
00:43:21 Oh my God, yes!
00:43:27 >> So you weren't with him all night?
00:43:29 >> As good as.
00:43:31 >> What time did you go to the bathroom?
00:43:33 >> I don't know. They took our phones.
00:43:36 >> Fair point.
00:43:38 [phone rings]
00:43:41 >> Mike Sheppard.
00:43:43 >> Is it just me, or is that limp getting worse?
00:43:49 >> Thanks for calling.
00:43:53 This is Audrey's GP. Her medical records have showed up in Sydney.
00:43:58 >> And?
00:43:59 >> The drug I mentioned. We now know that Audrey had it prescribed for carpal tunnel syndrome.
00:44:05 She'd renewed it several times.
00:44:07 >> I had no idea.
00:44:09 >> Oddly enough, we didn't find a pill bottle in the house search.
00:44:12 >> Goodness knows why. Your people went through everything.
00:44:15 >> Our specialist team will be conducting another search.
00:44:18 >> If they must.
00:44:20 >> How would you say Audrey's state of mind was on Saturday night?
00:44:24 >> Well, there was a lot going on.
00:44:27 >> Was she angry? Upset?
00:44:29 >> I don't know.
00:44:31 She was, um...
00:44:34 volatile, I suppose you could say.
00:44:36 Seeing Lloyd again.
00:44:39 And then what I did.
00:44:43 >> What did you do?
00:44:46 >> I'm surprised one of the others hasn't told you already.
00:44:52 >> How did you say you got your injury?
00:44:54 >> Oh, swimmer's knee.
00:44:56 Yeah.
00:44:57 Inflammation from overtraining.
00:45:00 Only thing for it is rest.
00:45:02 >> But you weren't resting very much on Saturday night, according to Sienna.
00:45:07 According to her, you're not injured at all.
00:45:11 >> Yeah, but, you know, in the moment, you get caught up, don't you?
00:45:16 You forget the pain.
00:45:19 >> So if we rang your doctor, they would confirm the injury, would they?
00:45:25 >> OK, I faked it.
00:45:26 >> Why?
00:45:28 >> To get out of training so I could come here.
00:45:31 I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing, but Sienna ruined it with that stupid post on her socials.
00:45:35 >> Is that what you were arguing about when we arrived?
00:45:37 >> Well, her story mentioned me.
00:45:38 I wanted her to take it down.
00:45:40 I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing.
00:45:41 >> Why not?
00:45:43 >> Because I stuffed up.
00:45:46 I'm not used to losing.
00:45:48 >> You read this in front of everyone.
00:45:52 >> Audrey and I met at university, and our lives have been entwined ever since.
00:45:59 Little did I know then that I would grow to feel strangled by our relationship.
00:46:05 Audrey was the first one to get interest from a publisher.
00:46:10 But when she couldn't quite deliver what they wanted, she turned to me for help.
00:46:15 I was happy to give it.
00:46:17 We worked on her first collection together, but the name on the cover was Audrey's.
00:46:26 My contribution relegated to nothing more than a footnote.
00:46:31 And so, the precedent was set.
00:46:35 I became a PA.
00:46:39 Not a peer.
00:46:42 Years of my life supporting her ambitions, her dreams.
00:46:47 Callous disregard.
00:46:48 Creatively bankrupt.
00:46:50 Propped up.
00:46:51 >> Do I get a chance to respond to this?
00:46:53 >> No.
00:46:55 I've always had a voice.
00:46:57 Tonight, it's my turn.
00:47:03 >> Sounds like a disgruntled employee with an axe to grind.
00:47:07 >> More than an employee.
00:47:09 >> More of a reason.
00:47:16 >> Sienna, are you going somewhere?
00:47:18 >> I need to be in a place that's not here.
00:47:21 A place where I can write.
00:47:28 I am actually serious about this, and Audrey said I was good.
00:47:31 So...
00:47:33 >> Where will you be?
00:47:34 >> Brokenwood Motel.
00:47:36 It's not really a vibe, but at least they're into a collab.
00:47:40 Some people appreciate the power of my brand.
00:47:42 >> Unlike Gus.
00:47:44 >> He is not maximizing his celebrity.
00:47:48 Although, TBH, if I got feedback like him, I wouldn't want to advertise it either.
00:47:53 >> Standing on the day as they put the medal around my neck was one of the proudest moments of my life.
00:48:04 Full credit to the team, though.
00:48:06 They supported me.
00:48:07 I couldn't have done it without them.
00:48:13 The end.
00:48:16 >> If only your talent were as big as your muscles.
00:48:23 Who'd like to go next?
00:48:29 >> Some guys are so used to having their ego struck, they can't cope when it doesn't happen.
00:48:44 >> Mystery project with this guy.
00:48:48 >> Book emoji, speak no evil monkey emoji, star emoji.
00:48:58 >> No love lost here.
00:49:00 >> Yeah, I don't think it was love that brought Sienna and Gus together.
00:49:05 >> We're still no closer to knowing who could have used Vinnie's van.
00:49:08 >> Well, if he's telling the truth, the keys were inside the house.
00:49:11 >> And the person with the easiest access was Dulles.
00:49:14 >> I asked her about that.
00:49:15 >> I had no idea he stayed.
00:49:17 >> His van was parked out the back.
00:49:19 You didn't see or hear it coming or going?
00:49:21 >> No.
00:49:23 Things were a bit tense after what I said to Audrey.
00:49:28 She and I went to our rooms.
00:49:32 >> And you stayed in yours all night?
00:49:34 >> Yes.
00:49:38 Alone.
00:49:40 >> Am I boring you?
00:49:42 >> Kids these days.
00:49:44 >> Hey, look at Sienna's latest post.
00:49:50 >> Oh, it's a pretty standard influencer sunrise video.
00:49:53 >> No, exactly.
00:49:55 Sunrise on Sunday when she wasn't supposed to have her phone.
00:49:59 >> Didn't you say it was her who handed the phones back?
00:50:03 >> Yes.
00:50:04 >> Jealous, you poor thing.
00:50:06 >> Yeah, let me do that.
00:50:08 >> Told her Swiftie?
00:50:10 >> Pretended to take her phone while handing out the others.
00:50:12 But if she already had it, when and how did she get it?
00:50:17 [Music]
00:50:34 >> I'm just saying, if you had a pillow mania, it would class this place up like exponentially.
00:50:40 Got to go.
00:50:42 Some people have no idea how to help themselves.
00:50:45 >> What do you want?
00:50:47 >> We've been looking at your socials.
00:50:50 >> Hmm, couple new followers.
00:50:52 Cute.
00:50:54 Do you mind if we come in?
00:50:58 So good, right?
00:51:00 Not even a filter.
00:51:02 >> Clearly.
00:51:04 >> How come you had your phone when you weren't supposed to?
00:51:08 >> My brand is my business.
00:51:10 If I'm not creating content, I'm losing money.
00:51:12 >> So you just took your phone back?
00:51:14 >> It wasn't hurting anyone.
00:51:16 What's the big deal?
00:51:17 >> When did you get it?
00:51:19 >> That first night.
00:51:21 >> While Gus was sleeping?
00:51:23 >> Honestly, you guys are so pervy.
00:51:25 >> How did you get into the house?
00:51:29 >> I had my door light on, so I tried the door and it wasn't locked.
00:51:32 >> And how did you know where exactly to look for your phone?
00:51:35 >> They weren't hidden.
00:51:36 We're not naughty kids.
00:51:37 They were in a basket right by the door.
00:51:39 >> Did anyone else see you?
00:51:40 >> No.
00:51:41 >> What time was this?
00:51:43 >> About 11.30.
00:51:44 >> Okay, so you got your phone.
00:51:46 Did you hang around?
00:51:47 Have a bit of a nosy?
00:51:49 >> No, weird.
00:51:50 Why would I?
00:51:51 >> Did you take anything else while you were there?
00:51:53 >> I'm not a thief!
00:51:55 [Music]
00:52:04 >> Visitor for you.
00:52:09 >> Right, come through.
00:52:12 Were you aware that a man named Vinnie Paulson stayed at the lodge on Saturday?
00:52:18 >> The flotation fellow?
00:52:21 Yeah, I barely spoke to him.
00:52:23 I went to ask him how that tank thingy worked.
00:52:26 >> Large amounts of Epsom salts, apparently.
00:52:30 >> Salt water?
00:52:33 Gosh, you'd think that would sting the eyes.
00:52:35 Anyway, I thought he left after dinner.
00:52:38 >> Well, his van was there all night.
00:52:41 According to him, Audrey confiscated his keys.
00:52:43 >> I wasn't aware of that.
00:52:45 I was very busy trying to reconnect with my daughter.
00:52:48 >> But you came to reconnect with Audrey.
00:52:52 How'd that go?
00:52:53 >> Surprisingly well.
00:52:54 What you wrote was beautiful.
00:52:58 I was very moved.
00:53:00 >> Oh, thank you.
00:53:01 >> I know you were talking about your daughter, but what you said about loss and regret, it's made me wonder.
00:53:10 >> Yes?
00:53:12 >> If it's not too late for us after all.
00:53:16 >> So you were alone with her?
00:53:18 >> Yeah.
00:53:19 >> What time did you have this chat?
00:53:21 >> Nine, 9.30.
00:53:23 >> And what happened after that?
00:53:25 >> Well, that's pretty much how we left it.
00:53:29 I thought we'd have more time.
00:53:32 >> What would you say her state of mind was when you left her?
00:53:35 >> Happy.
00:53:38 Yeah, we both were.
00:53:41 >> And you and Dilys are on better terms?
00:53:44 >> Bonded by grief, perhaps.
00:53:47 And I'm hoping to make some progress with Abby, too.
00:54:02 >> Hanson has a D in it.
00:54:04 >> Excuse me?
00:54:05 >> Sorry, I couldn't help.
00:54:07 >> You worry about your own writing?
00:54:09 >> Audrey said it lacked coherence.
00:54:12 >> Two birds, so to speak.
00:54:14 >> Ladies, hi.
00:54:15 >> Hi.
00:54:17 Sorry to interrupt.
00:54:19 Did either of you know Vinnie Paulson before this weekend?
00:54:23 >> Who?
00:54:24 >> The floatation tank guy.
00:54:25 >> No, I never met him before that night.
00:54:27 >> Me neither.
00:54:29 >> Did you have anything to do with him on Saturday night?
00:54:31 >> No.
00:54:32 >> Hmm.
00:54:35 >> You are treating us like suspects.
00:54:37 It's ridiculous.
00:54:39 >> No, just doing our job.
00:54:41 >> Here you go.
00:54:43 >> Thanks.
00:54:47 Cheers.
00:54:50 >> Oh, hi.
00:54:51 >> Hiya.
00:54:53 What are you doing here?
00:54:56 >> Trudy needed beans.
00:54:58 Now I can see why.
00:55:01 >> Oh, we just had a meeting.
00:55:04 Or work.
00:55:06 See you.
00:55:07 >> Bye.
00:55:09 >> Thanks, Rona.
00:55:17 >> Thanks.
00:55:19 Lloyd Carlton was one of the last people to see Audrey alive.
00:55:22 Apparently, they were about to rekindle their love affair.
00:55:26 >> I wonder if Abby knew that.
00:55:29 >> Might be worth another chat.
00:55:31 >> Well, we just saw Abby at the Croc and Panther if you want to talk to her.
00:55:37 >> There's something up.
00:55:39 >> Look at this.
00:55:46 See that flash of movement in the background at the end?
00:55:49 >> Could be a person.
00:55:51 >> Somebody else was at the Falls that morning.
00:55:55 >> A shame that's all there is.
00:55:57 >> Well, Sienna might still have the unedited footage.
00:56:00 I can ask her.
00:56:03 [knocking]
00:56:07 >> Oh, um, uh.
00:56:11 >> I didn't feel comfortable staying at the lodge.
00:56:16 And, uh, Sienna took down that post, so.
00:56:21 >> Uh-huh.
00:56:22 Is she --
00:56:23 >> Yeah, yeah, come in, come in.
00:56:24 >> Okay.
00:56:25 Great, thank you.
00:56:26 >> Whoa!
00:56:27 >> Oh, thank you.
00:56:31 >> I'm just going to leave.
00:56:33 >> Yeah.
00:56:36 Uh, what now?
00:56:38 >> We just need to take a closer look at something you posted.
00:56:42 >> What?
00:56:43 Why?
00:56:44 >> Well, the easiest thing would be for you to give me your phone and your laptop, and I could grab what we need and bring them back.
00:56:50 >> I can't write if you take both of them.
00:56:52 >> It won't take long, but it will take longer if you make me get a warrant.
00:57:02 Thanks.
00:57:06 >> What am I supposed to do now?
00:57:10 >> Well, I'm sure you'll think of something.
00:57:17 >> I'm so lucky.
00:57:23 >> I've got to go now.
00:57:25 >> But --
00:57:26 >> We'll catch up later.
00:57:27 >> Okay.
00:57:33 >> Hi.
00:57:35 >> Hi.
00:57:36 >> You two making progress?
00:57:38 >> We're meeting up tomorrow for a proper talk.
00:57:41 >> Uh, the letter that you found, the one that Lloyd wrote to Audrey, did anyone else see it?
00:57:47 >> Do you think I'm lying?
00:57:49 >> Lloyd has confirmed that he wrote a letter.
00:57:51 I'm just checking when you found it.
00:57:53 >> Yesterday, after Audrey died.
00:57:55 So if you're looking for motive, you're out of luck.
00:57:57 >> Um, I'll do my best to eliminate you from our inquiries.
00:58:02 >> Are we done?
00:58:03 I have to get back to work.
00:58:06 >> Okay.
00:58:13 >> Hey, check this out.
00:58:17 First --
00:58:19 >> You were right.
00:58:21 It's a person.
00:58:22 Well, two people.
00:58:24 >> Who's that?
00:58:25 >> Yep.
00:58:26 It's Blair Donnelly and Todd Taylor.
00:58:28 >> I don't even think that Sienna realised this was on here.
00:58:30 She just happened to catch it at the end of her clip.
00:58:32 >> There's some faint audio, too.
00:58:34 It's not great, but...
00:58:36 >> That's te reo Maori?
00:58:44 >> Mm.
00:58:45 Todd's arguing against putting human remains in a river, a water source.
00:58:49 >> Todd took off a while ago.
00:59:02 Didn't say where he was going.
00:59:04 And now he's not answering his phone.
00:59:06 Again.
00:59:07 I'm a bit worried about him.
00:59:09 >> Why?
00:59:10 >> Audrey's death seems to have hit him pretty hard.
00:59:14 >> Am I right in thinking that they've never met before this weekend?
00:59:18 >> Yeah, but she's whānau.
00:59:22 I think Todd might have got his hopes up about making more of a connection.
00:59:26 >> Todd and Audrey were related?
00:59:30 >> Audrey was my second cousin.
00:59:33 Not that she'd ever tell you that.
00:59:35 Even when we were kids, she wasn't allowed anywhere near us.
00:59:39 >> And Todd knew all this?
00:59:41 >> Not until recently.
00:59:43 >> What are you reading?
00:59:47 >> It was running the retreat thing I told you about.
00:59:49 >> Ah.
00:59:50 >> How to write your life story kind of thing.
00:59:53 >> Well, she would know.
00:59:55 >> I'm probably wasting my time, though, eh?
00:59:57 >> Ah, go for it.
01:00:00 Maybe writing runs in the whānau.
01:00:02 If your Aunty Audrey can do it.
01:00:04 >> What?
01:00:07 >> Audrey McKinnon's Māori.
01:00:11 Is she Māori?
01:00:13 >> No.
01:00:16 >> Mm.
01:00:18 There's nothing about that in here.
01:00:20 >> No.
01:00:23 Back in those days, only the Māoritanga might have hindered her career, not helped it.
01:00:29 >> Do you think Todd was planning to confront Audrey, challenge her about it?
01:00:33 >> Nah.
01:00:34 Can't see it.
01:00:35 That's not him.
01:00:38 >> Walter, we have reason to believe that Todd and Lea Donnelly have been truthful about their whereabouts yesterday morning.
01:00:45 Any idea why they might lie?
01:00:50 Excuse me.
01:00:52 >> Hey, James.
01:00:53 What have you got?
01:00:54 >> Hey, Mike, there's no one home but Blair's.
01:00:56 There's no sign of his car, but Todd's bike's here.
01:01:00 >> OK.
01:01:01 Put a 10-1 out on both Todd and Blair.
01:01:03 I'll see you at the station.
01:01:04 >> OK.
01:01:07 >> For what it's worth, we believe that Todd was trying to talk Blair out of putting a body in the water.
01:01:14 >> Is that supposed to make me feel better?
01:01:16 >> Everyone's got a book in them, isn't that what they say?
01:01:19 >> Not me.
01:01:20 I hated all that stuff when I was in school.
01:01:22 500 words on what I did in the holidays by Daniel Chalmers, age 10.
01:01:26 I got a D-.
01:01:27 >> Harsh.
01:01:28 >> Maybe they knew I didn't really spend my holidays fighting stormtroopers on the Death Star.
01:01:32 >> Wow.
01:01:33 You say you're not a writer.
01:01:36 >> That's them.
01:01:38 >> What?
01:01:39 >> Go.
01:01:40 [music]
01:01:57 >> Hey guys.
01:01:58 Thanks for stopping.
01:02:00 Great decision.
01:02:04 >> Why did you lie to us, Todd?
01:02:07 >> Because Blair lied?
01:02:10 >> You told us you hadn't left the house, but sometime early on Sunday morning you went to Ngakinawe Falls.
01:02:17 You were back home by the time Audrey's body was discovered.
01:02:21 Why did you lie?
01:02:24 >> I don't know.
01:02:26 I freaked out.
01:02:28 I hadn't slept.
01:02:30 My mind was all over the place.
01:02:32 >> Or perhaps you were worried that we would connect Audrey's death and your altercation with her.
01:02:37 >> I just thought it would be easier if you thought I was home all night.
01:02:40 >> Why?
01:02:41 >> Because I didn't kill her.
01:02:43 Didn't move her body either.
01:02:45 >> Why were you at the falls arguing with Todd Taylor about the disposal of human remains?
01:02:53 >> I was there to scatter my wife's ashes, okay?
01:03:00 >> Why so early on a Sunday morning?
01:03:02 >> Because Audrey got in my head, that's why.
01:03:04 >> The only person who knows what's holding you back is you.
01:03:08 And whatever it is, it's time to let go.
01:03:13 >> Why the falls?
01:03:15 >> It's where Marnie wanted to be.
01:03:17 It was important to us.
01:03:20 It's where I proposed.
01:03:23 >> And the argument with Todd?
01:03:24 What was that?
01:03:25 >> He didn't want me to put her in the water.
01:03:27 >> Human remains are tapu and you don't pollute the water supply because the water supply is someone's food supply.
01:03:32 It's just wrong.
01:03:33 You know that?
01:03:34 >> I do.
01:03:37 >> I didn't mean any disrespect.
01:03:39 I was just trying to do right by my wife.
01:03:44 >> You and Blair went to the falls together?
01:03:47 >> Sort of.
01:03:48 We were definitely there at the same time.
01:03:50 >> Sort of isn't good enough, Todd.
01:03:53 >> Okay.
01:03:56 >> Blair's gone when I woke up.
01:03:58 I know I said he wasn't, but I was just trying to look out for my mate.
01:04:02 He's been through enough that you fellas giving him a hard time as well.
01:04:06 >> How do you know where he was?
01:04:09 >> I noticed Marnie's ashes were missing from the mantelpiece.
01:04:13 >> Had Blair talked to you about scattering her ashes at the falls before?
01:04:17 >> Yeah.
01:04:19 >> And you wanted to talk him out of it?
01:04:21 >> Yeah.
01:04:23 >> So you have no idea what time Blair actually left the house?
01:04:28 >> No.
01:04:30 >> One more thing.
01:04:32 Where were you this afternoon when my colleagues couldn't find you?
01:04:36 >> Burying Marnie's ashes under a tree at Pateki Point.
01:04:41 [Music]
01:04:47 [Speaking in te reo Māori]
01:05:06 [Music]
01:05:31 >> Blair admits it was still dark when he left the house.
01:05:35 He claims he grabbed Marnie's ashes and went to the falls on foot and sat with her to wait for sunrise.
01:05:42 >> Or, alternatively, he left Todd sleeping in the spare room, detoured to the lodge, took Vinnie's van and moved Audrey's body.
01:05:50 >> But there's nothing to connect Blair and Vinnie.
01:05:53 There's nothing to say that their paths even crossed again once Blair left the lodge.
01:05:57 >> Meanwhile, I've got our team looking for something specific.
01:06:02 This is what Audrey's medication from Australia would have been packaged in.
01:06:07 >> Nice work.
01:06:09 >> Gretchen Sams?
01:06:11 Gus? Hi.
01:06:13 >> Yeah, uh, hi.
01:06:15 I was wondering if you might know when Sienna is going to get her phone back.
01:06:21 She's not used to living without it and just quietly she is doing my head in.
01:06:26 >> Who are you talking to?
01:06:28 >> Gus, can we just, um...
01:06:30 >> David! >> Here.
01:06:32 >> Hi. I'm so sorry about Gus. I don't even know why he called you. Total overreaction.
01:06:37 >> Yeah, that's OK. You can come and get your phone whenever you like.
01:06:40 >> Oh, thank God.
01:06:42 I mean, no hurry.
01:06:44 >> We've got copies of all the relevant files, so any time.
01:06:49 >> Hi. Can I help?
01:06:51 >> I need to talk to Detective Shepard.
01:06:53 >> Um...
01:06:55 Come on through.
01:06:56 >> Thank you.
01:06:59 [footsteps]
01:07:01 >> I nearly said something when I saw you at the pub.
01:07:08 I'm sorry I didn't misplace loyalty.
01:07:11 Perhaps Lloyd's the only family I have left.
01:07:14 Anyway, Saturday night, I couldn't sleep.
01:07:18 I kept going over all those things he said about me.
01:07:20 If I could rewrite my life, I would. All that.
01:07:23 I wanted to talk to him, so I went to find him.
01:07:26 >> In his tent?
01:07:28 >> He wasn't there.
01:07:30 I waited half an hour longer.
01:07:34 >> And he didn't come back?
01:07:36 >> No.
01:07:38 >> I don't suppose you know what time you arrived and left.
01:07:42 You wouldn't. You didn't have your phone.
01:07:44 >> No, I had my watch.
01:07:46 2.07 and 2.45.
01:07:49 [music]
01:07:54 >> Was I gone that long?
01:07:56 She must have only missed me by a couple of minutes.
01:07:58 >> Where were you?
01:08:00 >> In the laboratory.
01:08:02 >> For half an hour?
01:08:04 >> Yeah. Everything takes a little bit longer these days.
01:08:07 I usually take a book.
01:08:08 Mike, have you got a sec?
01:08:11 >> Excuse me.
01:08:13 >> Our specialist search team found a new laundry 20 minutes ago.
01:08:23 >> That's strange. Why didn't they find it yesterday?
01:08:26 >> Any idea how it got there?
01:08:28 >> No.
01:08:30 >> We'll be running a fingerprint match with samples that we took earlier.
01:08:34 I'll be in touch.
01:08:36 >> Hey.
01:08:47 Can you tell me I'm not going mad?
01:08:52 >> I'm not sure I can do that.
01:08:54 >> These are files from Sienna's laptop and phone.
01:08:58 As far as I can make out, there are three types of photos.
01:09:01 Selfies, obviously. Hundreds of them.
01:09:03 >> Big surprise.
01:09:05 >> Then these stock photos of international locations.
01:09:12 And then these composite images.
01:09:17 So here's Sienna standing on a cliff edge in Mongolia, a place she's probably never even been to.
01:09:22 >> Are they all like that?
01:09:24 >> Anywhere remotely dangerous, 100% faked.
01:09:28 >> You think it's relevant?
01:09:30 >> I don't know, but it is weird.
01:09:35 [knocking]
01:09:37 >> Hi.
01:09:51 >> Where is she?
01:09:53 >> I don't know. I'm here.
01:09:55 [knocking]
01:09:57 >> Sienna?
01:09:58 >> Go away!
01:10:00 >> Sienna, can you come out, please?
01:10:04 Sienna, we just want to talk to you, okay?
01:10:08 >> The first few posts, they were real.
01:10:26 Skydiving, bungeeing, all me.
01:10:28 And they went viral.
01:10:30 I knew I was on to something.
01:10:33 That's what launched my brand, basically.
01:10:36 But then Caitlin died and I freaked out.
01:10:45 >> Who's Caitlin?
01:10:49 >> Another influencer.
01:10:52 A friend of mine.
01:10:55 She was doing all this extreme stuff too, and it was a bit of a shock.
01:10:59 And one day she wasn't doing anything that crazy.
01:11:02 She just took a wrong step from a lookout.
01:11:06 I couldn't do it anymore.
01:11:13 But I had all these sponsorship deals, so I made it up.
01:11:18 I didn't think I could do anything else.
01:11:22 When Audrey said I had potential as a writer, I was fizzing.
01:11:28 I could see a future where I didn't have to lie all the time.
01:11:32 Of course, if bending the truth on social media was a crime,
01:11:36 then half the people I know would be locked up.
01:11:39 >> Go home. Get some sleep. Both of you.
01:11:45 >> You too.
01:11:46 >> Night, boss.
01:11:48 [♪♪♪]
01:11:51 [knocking]
01:12:15 >> Ah. Sorry to bother you so early.
01:12:17 >> Mike, for you nothing is a bother.
01:12:19 >> I need to check something in your statement.
01:12:22 When Audrey handed back the writing samples at the start of the retreat,
01:12:25 what was it that she said to Sienna?
01:12:27 >> She'd asked her when she'd been in Santa Martinez.
01:12:30 >> And then?
01:12:32 >> Thought our paths might have crossed. Apparently not.
01:12:35 >> And you're sure that was it?
01:12:37 >> Absolutely.
01:12:38 >> Oh.
01:12:40 Thanks, Gina.
01:12:45 >> Thanks for this. I tried the Brokenwood Library, but there's a waiting list.
01:12:49 [phone rings]
01:12:51 >> Hey. What's up?
01:12:53 >> Well, Kristen's making coffee.
01:12:55 >> I'm sorry to hear that.
01:12:57 >> More importantly, we've got the results back on the pill bottle.
01:13:00 We've got a match on Dillis and Sienna.
01:13:04 >> Bring Sienna in. I'll be there soon.
01:13:07 >> It's a signed copy. You're welcome to keep it.
01:13:14 >> There's been a development.
01:13:17 I need to ask you to come down to the station.
01:13:21 >> Should I call my lawyer?
01:13:24 >> We found your fingerprints on this bottle.
01:13:27 They contain drugs we believe contributed to the death of Audrey McKinnon.
01:13:31 >> Oxy.
01:13:33 It was on the bench when I got my phone. I picked it up and read the label.
01:13:36 That's all.
01:13:38 >> Why?
01:13:39 >> I was just being nosy.
01:13:41 Didn't expect a dame to be knocking back hard drugs.
01:13:44 Can I get a drink?
01:13:46 Like a kombucha or a smoothie or something?
01:13:49 Juice?
01:13:53 Coffee?
01:13:55 >> I'll do it. You did the last round.
01:14:04 >> No, no. I'm fine.
01:14:06 Hey, do you think she's actually telling the truth?
01:14:10 I mean, she could have just pocketed a couple of pills for her next festival.
01:14:15 >> Oh.
01:14:18 >> Oh, hello.
01:14:20 >> Two flunt temple strikes again.
01:14:22 >> All right. I knew about the damn pills.
01:14:25 How couldn't I?
01:14:27 Audrey needed me for everything.
01:14:29 Doctor's appointments, flight bookings, tax bills.
01:14:32 >> Audrey could barely function without her.
01:14:35 >> She'd taken to mixing it with a glass of whiskey at bedtime.
01:14:39 I knew it was dangerous.
01:14:41 I didn't trust her with it.
01:14:43 So I took over pouring her drink.
01:14:45 >> Why didn't you tell us this sooner?
01:14:47 You must have known that we would find the drug in Audrey's system.
01:14:50 >> I knew that you'd find out about my little spat with Audrey.
01:14:53 I could see you twisting that into some kind of motive.
01:14:56 I was scared.
01:14:57 >> So you lied.
01:14:58 What else have you lied about?
01:15:00 >> You don't have to answer that.
01:15:01 >> Finding Audrey's body, moving it from the tank?
01:15:03 >> No. Detective.
01:15:05 >> You were right there in the house. You knew where the tank was.
01:15:07 Someone either killed Audrey or found her body.
01:15:10 Was that person you?
01:15:11 >> Detective, you're fishing.
01:15:14 The front door was unlocked.
01:15:18 Could have been anybody.
01:15:19 Could have been Abby, Gus, Blair.
01:15:21 Any one of them.
01:15:22 Okay, take a breath.
01:15:24 You're not helping yourself.
01:15:26 Vinnie could have come back for his damn keys.
01:15:29 [knocking]
01:15:30 >> Sorry. Boss, we're ready.
01:15:33 >> Thanks.
01:15:34 Maybe we should take a pause.
01:15:36 >> Really, Detective Shepard?
01:15:38 How many times have we played this game?
01:15:40 You either charge her or let her go.
01:15:46 >> You're free to go.
01:15:49 >> Your Sunday morning sunrise post.
01:15:53 Funny thing, this post only turned up online yesterday.
01:16:00 >> And you would have been worried about us finding your fingerprints inside the house.
01:16:06 See, I think you wanted us to find out that you'd sneaked back into the house to find your phone,
01:16:10 because that would explain the prints.
01:16:12 But what if that wasn't the only reason for you being there?
01:16:17 >> That's a big what if.
01:16:23 >> This is a writing example that you submitted to Audrey before the course.
01:16:30 Audrey wondered whether or not you'd crossed paths in Santa Martinez.
01:16:34 >> At first I thought that this might be a clue about a prior connection between you two.
01:16:38 But then I realised that Audrey was really saying that you couldn't possibly have been there when you said you were.
01:16:44 >> This photo is dated last October.
01:16:48 But we did some research and this bridge collapsed last March.
01:16:55 >> So you already know I'm a big fraud?
01:16:58 >> Yes, but the point is, did Audrey know that?
01:17:02 We think that she saw this photo and started to work it out.
01:17:08 And then she looked back at your other posts, all clever fakes, but easy to spot if you know what you're looking for.
01:17:16 >> Note the subtitle.
01:17:20 If you'd done a little reading prior to the retreat, you'd have known what Audrey said she stood for.
01:17:26 You made sure Audrey knew you were chasing a book deal with Sutton and Cavill.
01:17:33 You were probably hoping that she'd put in a good word for you.
01:17:36 But how could she when she realised that your whole identity was built on lies?
01:17:41 Audrey only had to make one phone call and the deal was off.
01:17:48 You couldn't let that happen.
01:17:50 >> You don't know that.
01:17:51 >> Well, I know that Audrey spoke with her publisher that night.
01:17:55 >> I want a lawyer.
01:18:01 >> Sure. Just take five, shall we?
01:18:04 DC Charmers will help you sort a lawyer.
01:18:07 Oh, by the way, your friend Gus has been called in for further questioning.
01:18:12 >> Why?
01:18:13 >> We believe you needed help moving the body.
01:18:23 Get Siena a list of solicitors.
01:18:25 >> Yeah.
01:18:27 >> Gus, come on through.
01:18:29 [Music]
01:18:52 >> Mike.
01:18:54 She's changed her mind about the lawyer.
01:18:58 Gus didn't help me move the body because I didn't kill her.
01:19:01 But I did talk to Audrey that night.
01:19:05 Thank you so much.
01:19:07 I've learned heaps already just listening to you.
01:19:09 >> Somehow I doubt that.
01:19:11 >> Sorry?
01:19:15 >> What's the one thing I've been talking about all day?
01:19:18 The one word I keep coming back to?
01:19:20 Authenticity.
01:19:22 >> 100%. That's what I'm all about.
01:19:24 >> God, who do you think you're fooling, dear?
01:19:27 >> It's Sutton and Cavill.
01:19:30 Well, perhaps.
01:19:33 But not for long.
01:19:37 >> Later, I went to the house to see her.
01:19:40 I knocked, but nobody answered, so I let myself in.
01:19:43 Audrey was in her office.
01:19:46 Please don't tell Sutton and Cavill I'm a fraud.
01:19:49 I can really write.
01:19:51 You said I have potential.
01:19:53 >> It's a shame you've chosen to squander it.
01:19:56 >> I've half a mind to call Jeffrey Sutton right now.
01:19:59 >> Don't!
01:20:04 Please.
01:20:07 >> You've got one week to tell the truth.
01:20:09 >> Or I will.
01:20:14 On the way out, I saw my phone.
01:20:16 >> Audrey!
01:20:18 >> Dulles was there.
01:20:22 >> Your drink!
01:20:48 Then I left. That's it.
01:20:51 >> The knock at the door, did you see who it was?
01:20:54 >> No. Whoever it was, Dulles must have gone outside with them.
01:21:00 But I know it was a man.
01:21:02 I heard his voice.
01:21:07 >> So who paid Dulles a visit?
01:21:11 >> Well, it could be Gus looking for Sienna.
01:21:13 >> It could be Blair. It could be Lloyd.
01:21:14 It could be any one of them.
01:21:17 >> Or it could have been Vinnie.
01:21:20 >> That's something that Dulles said.
01:21:22 Miranda tried to shut her up.
01:21:24 >> It could have been Abby, Gus, Blair. Any one of them.
01:21:27 >> Okay. Take a breath. You're not helping yourself.
01:21:30 >> Vinnie could have come back for his damn keys.
01:21:33 >> Dulles told us that she didn't know that Vinnie stayed the night.
01:21:36 Or that his van was parked out the back.
01:21:40 But if she knew that the keys were there, then she knew both those things.
01:21:46 >> Hey.
01:21:49 >> That's Lloyd's car.
01:21:52 >> Hey. Snow and Oak.
01:21:54 According to these guys, the lady of the house went that way.
01:21:57 >> Okay. Let's go.
01:22:04 >> Not now.
01:22:07 >> Give it to me!
01:22:08 >> No!
01:22:09 >> Oh!
01:22:12 >> Help me!
01:22:13 >> Dulles.
01:22:16 Dulles!
01:22:21 Help me!
01:22:29 >> I knew you were weak, Lloyd. I didn't think you were stupid.
01:22:32 >> The police know that I lied. Abby told them she went looking for me and I wasn't where I said I was.
01:22:38 I told them some story about being in a looper.
01:22:41 >> But you needed a safety net. So you planted the pill bottle.
01:22:45 >> Well, did you really expect me to take the fall for you?
01:22:48 >> What if I'm going down? You're coming with me.
01:22:52 >> Give it to me!
01:22:55 Let's go back a bit.
01:22:57 Saturday night, when you were preparing Audrey's nightcap, there was a knock at the door. A man.
01:23:05 >> How do you know that?
01:23:06 >> There was someone else in the house talking to Audrey.
01:23:09 They left without you seeing them.
01:23:12 >> You were outside talking to your visitor?
01:23:15 >> It was Lloyd. He wanted to talk to Audrey.
01:23:19 I said I didn't think that was a good idea and walked him back to his tent.
01:23:23 Then he asked if he could talk to me instead, for old times' sake.
01:23:27 I told him to come back to the house in five minutes.
01:23:31 I wanted to make sure Audrey was settled for the night.
01:23:35 I wasn't sure if I'd already added the meds.
01:23:41 [Music]
01:23:46 >> Audrey!
01:23:50 >> She didn't answer, so I left the glass outside her door.
01:23:55 >> And then Lloyd came back?
01:23:58 >> Of course, there was only one topic of conversation.
01:24:01 >> I don't think she ever really appreciated all that I'd given up for her.
01:24:06 It's what hurts.
01:24:07 >> Story of my life.
01:24:12 She's very fond of telling me that I'll be well looked after in her will.
01:24:17 But a little public acknowledgement in her own lifetime wouldn't go astray.
01:24:25 Practically co-wrote that first book of hers.
01:24:32 [Groans]
01:24:35 >> Excuse me.
01:24:37 I must have nodded off for a moment.
01:24:40 Lloyd had poured himself another wine.
01:24:43 I told him to finish it, but that I needed to go to bed.
01:24:47 I went to turn some lights off.
01:24:51 That's when I noticed Audrey's door was open and her bed was still made up.
01:24:58 I decided to check the flotation tank.
01:25:07 And there she was.
01:25:09 [Screams]
01:25:11 I'd killed her.
01:25:17 >> Oh God, Lloyd.
01:25:18 What have I done?
01:25:20 >> I told him about the pills.
01:25:24 Now I wasn't sure about the dose.
01:25:27 I wanted him to tell me that I hadn't done anything wrong, that no one would think it was deliberate.
01:25:32 >> This isn't going to look good.
01:25:35 >> It was Lloyd's idea to move the body.
01:25:38 He said we could make it look like an accident.
01:25:41 Well, she might not be found for days.
01:25:43 No one would ever know about the drugs.
01:25:46 >> All you had to do was move her to the force without being seen.
01:25:50 >> Then I remembered.
01:25:51 Vinnie's ban.
01:25:53 >> Please.
01:25:57 >> We managed to get Audrey dressed.
01:26:01 And then did what needed doing.
01:26:12 We were very careful not to leave any prints in the van.
01:26:15 Then cleaned it as best we could.
01:26:19 I washed Audrey's whiskey glass.
01:26:22 Lloyd promised to get rid of the oxycodone bottle.
01:26:28 Of course, that was nothing to what I promised him.
01:26:32 >> Half.
01:26:34 >> Sorry?
01:26:35 >> I want half.
01:26:37 Half of whatever Audrey left you in her will.
01:26:43 >> What do you think, detective?
01:26:45 Best-seller material?
01:26:48 >> She's got plenty of time to write in prison, won't she?
01:26:59 >> What's the story with Lloyd?
01:27:01 >> He should be in hospital by now.
01:27:05 He was lucky to avoid concussion.
01:27:07 He's torn the tendons off his left ankle.
01:27:09 He has some pretty heavy bruising.
01:27:12 And according to his medical records, a rare form of blood cancer.
01:27:30 >> Is there something you want to tell me, Lloyd?
01:27:36 >> I've been kept alive by a drug I can't afford.
01:27:40 $15,000 a pop.
01:27:43 The only person I knew with that sort of money was Audrey.
01:27:46 The thing is, I need your help.
01:27:48 I need—
01:27:49 >> Money.
01:27:50 >> I should have known.
01:27:52 Please, Audrey.
01:27:55 I'm dying.
01:27:57 >> Talk to your daughter.
01:27:58 She's the doctor.
01:28:07 >> She asked me for what happened to her mother.
01:28:11 >> And now you've got another person's death on your conscience?
01:28:21 >> It was late.
01:28:23 Tillis had dozed off, and I knew that Audrey was upstairs.
01:28:28 I don't know what I wanted.
01:28:29 Maybe just to have the last word.
01:28:32 She wasn't in her room.
01:28:35 I switched her alight.
01:28:50 She needed help.
01:28:53 But so did I.
01:28:55 I knew Tillis would inherit.

01:30:03 >> Hello.
01:30:05 >> How's the bean situation today?
01:30:07 >> Good.
01:30:09 >> Mm-hmm.
01:30:10 Nice and roasted?
01:30:12 >> Yep.
01:30:14 >> Cool.
01:30:15 >> OK.
01:30:16 Are you still doing those loyalty cards, mate?
01:30:20 >> Sure am.
01:30:21 >> Yeah, I'll take one too.
01:30:23 >> Coming right up.
01:30:24 Your usuals?
01:30:25 >> You know it.
01:30:27 >> Hey, you know how you made that crack about Gus and his new best friend?
01:30:31 I think you might have been right.
01:30:35 >> Hey, what are you guys cooking up?
01:30:38 >> Vinnie's offered me an endorsement deal.
01:30:40 >> Yeah?
01:30:41 >> Not just a brick and wood either.
01:30:43 It's called going national.
01:30:45 Just got to get it over the line to head office.
01:30:47 What do you think?
01:30:49 >> Genius.
01:30:51 Pure genius.
01:30:53 >> Good luck, guys.
01:30:55 >> Hey.
01:30:56 >> Hey.
01:30:57 >> You're up and about early.
01:30:59 >> Yep, Gina wanted a fresh set of eyes.
01:31:02 >> Oh, excuse me.
01:31:05 It will help to hear it in my voice.
01:31:08 Let me read it to you.
01:31:09 >> Yeah, I read the first line.
01:31:11 Couldn't be anyone else.
01:31:15 >> Extracting the viscera from my first cadaver, I knew I had found my calling.
01:31:21 >> Yep.
01:31:22 >> The sterilized scent of the autopsy room mixed with a faintly sweet odor of decay,
01:31:28 creating an atmosphere that some might find unbearable.
