00:00I was hoping if I could get my engagement ring back.
00:04Oh, running away from something doesn't mean it's over.
00:07That ship has sailed to calmer, kinder waters.
00:11Look, the rest of the team, they do their bit.
00:13Whether you like it or not, so will you.
00:15Uh, what is this?
00:17That's for patrol at the football.
00:19Welcome to the team.
00:21Yay!
00:23Constable Clark.
00:25Just wanted to return this.
00:28Let's see if it still fits.
00:31Ladies and gentlemen, welcome again to Dalton Cove Bowl Club.
00:42For today's card, a push round of matches as Dalton Cove has got visitors with red blood.
00:47Ladies and gentlemen, all your matches will now commence in the upper green.
00:50But down on the lower green, it is tied at 20 and the match has come down to the last 10.
00:56How are we tracking?
00:58Can't read the scoreboard.
00:59Tied, 20.
01:01Last two bowls, it's down to Ted and Artie.
01:04Come on, Teddy.
01:05Come on.
01:06Go, Dad.
01:07Come on, mate.
01:08You've got this.
01:19Yes!
01:21Good one, Dad.
01:22Excellent.
01:24Your husband just clinched it for us.
01:29Let's go, Artie.
01:30Bring it home, Red Bluff.
01:50Righto, we're going to need the measuring tape for those.
02:08Hey, wait a minute.
02:10He slack-lined it.
02:11He's doing me out of the game.
02:13I beg your pardon?
02:14Well, just look at it.
02:15He got the string off centre.
02:16Trying to make it look like mine's further away.
02:19That's out of line.
02:20Typical Bush Rangers.
02:22Robbing me blind.
02:25Never in my life.
02:28How dare you?
02:29Dad, your heart.
02:30Settle down.
02:31How dare you?
02:33We'll be reporting this.
02:34You should be chucked out of the league.
02:36You always have been a cheat, Ted Haddon.
02:48I should do you for assault as well.
02:49Oh, shit.
02:50Show's over.
02:51Dad?
02:52I'm suspending this match.
02:53No result.
02:54Inside for drinks.
02:55We could all stand to cool down.
02:56Yeah, I know.
02:57I got it.
02:58Yeah!
02:59Woo-hoo!
03:00There you go, Rita.
03:01Another snap of the real winners.
03:03I don't know what came over me.
03:17No, we all wanted to give him a clip.
03:31Look at them, acting like they own the place.
03:33All right, everyone.
03:34Last drinks.
03:36I better get a lager for my worthy opponent, then.
03:40And one for you, young fella?
03:43I don't want anything from you.
03:45Fair enough.
03:51Better get one for yourself, then, sweetheart.
03:56Come on, kettles.
04:00No hard feelings.
04:09Bottoms up, bud.
04:14Mitt's off!
04:16I've said a million times, no one touches Bill's gun.
04:20All right, all right, all right.
04:23Come on, fellas.
04:25Let's go.
04:27Don't know if Bushranger Bill could shoot anyone with that old piece of junk.
04:31Pow-pow!
04:34Catch you on the return match, Bushrangers.
04:53You all right?
04:55Oh, yeah, just a bit of heartburn.
04:58Look, I can finish up if you want to head off.
05:00Oh, no, no, it's fine.
05:25What was that?
05:55I don't know.
05:56Did you hear that?
05:58Where did it come from?
05:59It was just outside.
06:00You just stay behind me, Evelyn.
06:07What on earth?
06:08We don't know.
06:15Oh, my God!
06:45You should know the boss is here.
07:05Shocking.
07:06As a witness.
07:09Scene secure.
07:10The other witnesses are ready for their statements.
07:15So still can't quit bowls?
07:18I don't want to quit bowls.
07:20I hate bowls and I am quitting forever.
07:22That was you, wasn't it?
07:24I'm competitive, McKenzie.
07:27Is that a crime?
07:29Is this why you said no to barefoot bowls for our Christmas party last year?
07:32I said no because I don't enjoy playing with amateurs.
07:36She's competitive.
07:38Moving on.
07:41So, big game?
07:42Yes, the Bush Ranger match.
07:44That's what we call it when Dolphin Cove plays Red Bluff.
07:47Named after him?
07:49Bush Ranger Bill.
07:51You're on the site of the Black Tuesday siege.
07:55He was smaller in my old school books.
07:58Legends have to grow, my dear.
08:07Where's the body?
08:08The green.
08:09No, no, no.
08:10Stay.
08:12And wait to be questioned with the other witnesses.
08:29The victim is Arthur O'Farrell.
08:32Everyone called him Artie.
08:3465 years old.
08:35Left the club at 3.25pm.
08:38Gunshot heard by five witnesses at around 4.10pm.
08:41Look here.
08:45Exit wound?
08:46Yeah.
08:47Bullet?
08:48Uh, haven't found it yet.
08:59So if they angled it, since the exit wound is three centimetres higher than the entry...
09:04Based on the position of the body, roughly here?
09:07Mm-hmm.
09:09Bang.
09:21There.
09:25I'll get a ladder.
09:30So, is the victim a regular opponent?
09:32It was a surprise to see Artie here.
09:35Who was that?
09:36He was a late fill-in.
09:38Ted saw his name on the team sheet this morning.
09:41So you knew him?
09:42Yes, we all did.
09:43I didn't.
09:53Senior Sergeant Strong?
09:56Oh, um...
09:59Uh, first time I met him was today.
10:02Artie grew up in Dolphin Cove.
10:04He used to play for the club.
10:06Until we threw him out.
10:08And when was that?
10:10Years ago.
10:11Forty.
10:12Or thereabouts.
10:14Why?
10:15We don't really...
10:16Bushrange a material.
10:17We're an honourable club.
10:19And he wasn't honourable?
10:21If he'd seen his behaviour today, he wouldn't need to ask.
10:24What happened today?
10:26He accused me of cheating.
10:28You've always been a cheat, Ted Haddon.
10:31It was a straight-up lie.
10:33Look, I...
10:34I'm not proud of my behaviour, but...
10:37I am not, and never have been, a cheat.
10:41Ted's not a volatile man.
10:43He's stayed predictable.
10:44No fire in him at all.
10:47I... I just mean...
10:49He's not capable of shooting anyone.
10:52Thank you, darling.
10:54Typical Artie O'Farrell.
10:56Trouble. That whole family.
10:58His father was endlessly broke
11:00and forever trying to scheme people out of their dough.
11:03And Artie was even worse.
11:05There he is.
11:06With the rest of us before he left the club.
11:08Looking as smug as ever.
11:11I don't like to speak ill of the dead.
11:13Then don't grin.
11:15OK, can you all talk me through your movements this afternoon?
11:18Artie and his team, they leave at 3.25.
11:22Just after the bar closed.
11:24Let's go.
11:25Pow-pow!
11:27Except he must have come back.
11:30Did any of you see him?
11:34And then you heard the gunshot?
11:36Definitely.
11:37Where were you?
11:38In here.
11:39Who else was with you?
11:40No-one.
11:42I was just in the kitchen, cashing up.
11:44OK.
11:45I was taking the rubbish out.
11:46Ted?
11:48I was in the mint.
11:50Bit of a funny tummy.
11:56Just a few odd jobs.
12:03I can get it.
12:04I'm up here now.
12:08So, how did you pull up after the game?
12:11Oh, you know.
12:12The boys tied one on like you wouldn't believe.
12:15Did they?
12:16Should have seen me.
12:17I was an absolute mess.
12:22I did see you.
12:24What?
12:25I gave you the ring back.
12:27Do you have forceps?
12:29When?
12:30Well, now, if you could.
12:31Yeah.
12:37The ring.
12:38When did you give it back to me?
12:40After the game.
12:42Oh, that checks out.
12:45I woke up fully dressed and found it in my pocket.
12:51Do you really not remember me giving it to you?
12:53I don't even remember you being there.
12:55Really?
12:56Really.
12:57Like I said, I'd had quite a few.
13:04Something?
13:07That does not look like a bullet.
13:10It's a lead ball.
13:13From an old gun.
13:19No one knows where he ended up.
13:22But Bushranger Bill was never seen in Dolphin Cove again.
13:26Oh.
13:27That fascinates him.
13:33Excuse me.
13:35This gun's been fired.
13:37That's not possible.
13:39Grandpa welded up the nipples.
13:41Sorry, um, what do you mean?
13:43It's how you stop it from working.
13:45This gun doesn't fire anymore.
13:47At least that's what Grandpa always said.
13:49Well, it was fired today.
13:50But not while I was here, because I was standing just right here when the shot was fired.
13:56Was the gun still on the wall?
13:57Yes, yes, because I just straightened up this photo right here.
14:07This is the lead ball that killed Artie, and this is the gun that fired it.
14:11But it was on the wall when Artie was killed.
14:14Then how did the killer use this gun to murder Artie O'Farrell if it never left the wall?
14:21So, Artie was shot at 4.10.
14:25And he left at 3.25.
14:27We need to establish everyone's movements up until that time.
14:31Everyone was in and out.
14:33So everyone had immediate access to the gun.
14:37But no one took the gun off the wall, I would have noticed.
14:40Okay, according to one witness, no one took it off the wall.
14:44Well, they didn't.
14:46Sorry.
14:47Wait.
14:49I think you need to...
14:52What?
14:54Go home.
14:58Mackenzie, I'm the senior sergeant.
15:00Yes, but you're also a witness in a murder investigation and a potential suspect.
15:03Oh, careful.
15:06Go home, until we clear you.
15:10Don't worry, boss. I'll keep him in line.
15:14By which I mean I'll follow instructions and provide a full report upon your return.
15:21Could anyone else have come into the club?
15:24The main gate was locked when Artie left.
15:27Is there another entrance?
15:28Lover's Lane.
15:31What's Lover's Lane?
15:32Oh, come on! Even I know about Lover's Lane.
15:35Oi!
15:36I'm going, I'm going.
15:38Oi.
15:42Seriously, what is Lover's Lane?
15:46How do you know about this?
15:48Everyone our age knows. It's where kids went to, you know...
15:52What?
15:54Oh, hence the name.
15:57Oh.
15:59So you two...
16:03Oh.
16:05OK, here we go then.
16:08Whoa.
16:11Is it his?
16:16Yep. Arthur O'Farrell. And he bought it two weeks ago.
16:20This is where he came back in, then.
16:22Still weird.
16:23Get Reggie and Felix to look for blue paint on their search?
16:26Yep.
16:27OK, so he leaves after an argument on the green, but goes back, only to be murdered.
16:33And somewhere in between, someone chucks paint in his car.
16:36I'll get my kit.
16:43Colin, hang on a tick.
16:47You were out with Glenn after the football, weren't you?
16:49Celebrating my best mate's 300th game? Absolutely.
16:53Sweet Lord above.
16:55I can't keep up with those lads.
16:57I mean, I've put a fair few away in me time.
17:00But they're animals.
17:02Animals?
17:03He was. He was a bit tipsy.
17:06You mean completely leathered?
17:08He told me he passed out on Frankie's dog bed when he got home.
17:11Reckons he might have fleas.
17:14Absolute shambles.
17:17Felix, I need you and Reggie to look for blue paint on your search.
17:21This one's mild.
17:24Anything?
17:25Half an empty can of energy drink.
17:28Blood donor card.
17:29Ah, good for him.
17:30Not the energy drink. That stuff is poison.
17:34No paint?
17:35No. Readers either.
17:37Just a couple of old Bush Ranger Bill badges.
17:40Can this place just get over Bush Ranger Bill?
17:43No, he's great.
17:44He stole from Cove's very own Robin Hood.
17:46He stole from the rich, gave to the poor.
17:48I mean, is that really so criminal, Felix?
17:51Technically, yes.
17:52Oh, come on.
17:53This is where Bill held off 12 coppers on his own,
17:56then disappeared, but not before he...
17:58Delivering ten pounds to every household.
18:00Yeah, yeah, I know.
18:03Every household is all I'm saying.
18:05What, you mean Bush Ranger Bill shafted your family?
18:08Not just mine.
18:09You know, all the Whitefellas all collected ten pounds back in the day?
18:12Yeah.
18:13And all of us missed out.
18:16I'm sorry, Felix.
18:20You know his partner was a blackfella?
18:22Ah, really?
18:24Yeah, that's what my nan reckons.
18:26Bill gets all the flashy hero paintings with his poxy gun,
18:29and I reckon they touched up his beard as well.
18:32God, wait, he's suspiciously luscious.
18:34Like...
18:37See that?
18:53Blue paint?
18:54Good find.
18:55Yes!
19:01Turn that off, please.
19:05It's a bit loud, sorry.
19:06Mm.
19:08Missing these.
19:09Looks about your size,
19:10and that matches the colour of the paint we found tipped all over Artie's car.
19:16What are you talking about? I didn't mess with his car.
19:18And it matches the paint on your cuff, just there.
19:26OK, I threw the paint.
19:28That's it. I didn't kill him.
19:30So Artie insults your dad, you get angry, you want payback.
19:34But it wasn't just the insulting. Dad's got heart troubles.
19:37He had a bit of a turn at my birthday a couple of weeks ago
19:41and spent a night in hospital.
19:43They gave him the works.
19:44He's not supposed to get revved up.
19:46So you confronted Artie?
19:50He caught me throwing the paint in the car park,
19:52He caught me throwing the paint in the car park, but that was it.
19:55Then he got in his car and drove off.
19:58He didn't say anything about you putting paint on his brand new car?
20:01Not a word. That was the end of it.
20:03Yeah, well, you just, you left it at that.
20:04Yeah, I went straight back to the club.
20:06To take the gun off the wall and go and find him?
20:08No!
20:10I messed with his car.
20:12But that's it.
20:14I came back to the club, and the next time I saw Artie
20:17was when we found him on the green.
20:20Dead.
20:23Here's what we know.
20:26Artie O'Farrell and Ted Haddon had a stand-up argument
20:29over allegations of cheating.
20:31Artie then left the club at 3.25pm
20:34and Mal Haddon poured paint all over his car.
20:37Artie then returned to the club using the disused rear entrance of...
20:41Lover's Lane.
20:42Yes, thank you. Thank you.
20:45He came back in and was shot dead on the green at 4.10pm.
20:49We don't know who had a motive to kill him
20:51and we don't know how the killer managed to shoot him
20:53when the murder weapon was on the wall of the clubhouse at the time.
20:56OK, first principles, background check on Artie.
20:59He ran a fishing business over the years in Red Bluff.
21:02Didn't do too well. He filed for bankruptcy last year.
21:05Yeah, he bought an expensive car two weeks ago.
21:08Record?
21:09Effective rate of 80% in B grade.
21:11He's known as the Southpaw of the Bluff.
21:14And that's why they say never trust a lefty on the green.
21:17Police record.
21:18Oh.
21:19Sorry.
21:20Other than the bankruptcy, he's clean.
21:23I've got the club financials for you to go through, Felix.
21:26And Rika sent me this photo from today.
21:29Um...
21:31There's Artie...
21:33Mm-hm.
21:34..with a gun behind him.
21:36The gun that no-one saw move but somehow was fired.
21:40It doesn't make sense.
21:42There is, um...
21:44There is someone else who was in the clubhouse
21:47who had access to the weapon.
21:51She is a potential suspect.
21:55Until we find a way to clear her.
21:57Leave it with me.
21:59Well, can I come too?
22:01I'd buy tickets to see that show.
22:18DOOR KNOCKS
22:37Mark.
22:38Hey. What are you doing here?
22:40Thought your mum might be here.
22:43Family dinner night?
22:45Right. Unless that's changed.
22:47Mum hasn't changed her routine since 1992.
22:52I've got to warn you, though.
22:53I would not say she's enjoying being on the bench.
22:56Oh. What else is new?
22:58Right.
23:00I'll go get her.
23:02Come on in.
23:04Hey, Mum.
23:07Mum, you in here?
23:15MUSIC PLAYS
23:25Oh. Hey, Mac.
23:27Um, make yourself useful and grab me a strainer.
23:34Oh, no, no. Other drawer.
23:36Sorry.
23:39The other one next to that.
23:41OK.
23:43Yep.
23:44Amazing. Thanks.
23:47Are you here for dinner?
23:49I'm doing carbonara and we have wine.
23:52No, just here to clear Phil.
23:54Oh, I thought you were here to take my badge as well.
23:59You know, I can't place you in the clubhouse.
24:01You were on your own.
24:03Hmm. Stacking chairs.
24:05Yep. OK. How do I prove it?
24:07CCTV.
24:08Doesn't cover all the entrances.
24:10And a mobile phone trace. It wouldn't be targeted enough.
24:13You called triple zero?
24:14Yes, but that was after we found Artie.
24:18You've done your steps. Well done.
24:23Since when do you wear a smart watch?
24:24Well, I got it for her birthday.
24:26Yeah, it's actually very good.
24:27Yeah, I told you.
24:28Yeah, but does it have GPS?
24:29Yeah, GPS, steps, heart rate monitor.
24:32Even does her swimming for her.
24:34So you can track her movements.
24:36Prove that she never left the clubhouse.
24:37Yeah, easy. It's on the app.
24:39You know, unless you took it off
24:40and then you'd be able to move around wherever you liked.
24:42But it wouldn't register her heart rate if she did.
24:45But I want it back.
24:47I need it for my laps in the morning.
24:49Yeah, will do.
24:50Fancy that. I'm not a murderer.
24:52Look at that. Best present ever.
25:05Sorry Daisy held you hostage for dinner.
25:08Yeah, I expect the ballistics report tomorrow as compensation.
25:12Can do.
25:15You should go easy on the wines tonight.
25:19You don't want to end up in the dog bed again.
25:22I told him that in confidence.
25:24Do you have fleas?
25:25I don't have fleas.
25:26I have a minor skin irritation from the fur.
25:29Gross.
25:31Not my tidiest performance overall.
25:33No, no, it definitely wasn't that.
25:37I can't believe I embarrassed myself in front of Constable Clark.
25:41I'm on the waters from now on.
25:42Constable.
25:44What?
25:47You called me Constable.
25:49After the football, you...
25:51I was wearing Felix's stripes.
25:53So what?
25:55So you remember calling me Constable
25:56but you don't remember putting a ring on my finger 15 seconds later.
26:01How'd you go on, didn't I?
26:03Of course I remember, Mac.
26:05You do?
26:07It wouldn't be the first dumb thing I've done after a few beers, would it?
26:10No.
26:11I'm sorry, I was embarrassed.
26:14Let's just pretend it never happened.
26:18It never happened.
26:24See you tomorrow.
26:37See you tomorrow.
26:47How come no one knows about Bushranger Bill's mate?
26:50Midnight Moe.
26:51Was that his name?
26:52Nah, no one really knew his name.
26:54They didn't even bother to learn it.
26:56That's what I called him.
26:57Midnight Moe.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Nan said that they fell out over the split
27:01and went their separate ways.
27:03But Bill wanted Midnight Moe's gun back.
27:05He bought it, he should keep it.
27:06Midnight Moe rode off into the sunset.
27:09No, they never saw each other again.
27:10Really?
27:11Wow.
27:12Oh.
27:19Finding those shoes, that was...
27:22Yeah, that was great work.
27:23Oh, it was no big deal.
27:25You're too good to be in One Stripe for much longer.
27:27Okay.
27:28Make sure you're not.
27:29I will.
27:32Oh, there she is.
27:33Oh!
27:35Yay!
27:37Oh, right.
27:38That's enough of that rubbish.
27:40Okay, so where are we at?
27:42CCTV.
27:48Only covers the front of the clubhouse.
27:51Everyone in and out, just as the boss said.
27:54Hang on.
27:55Didn't Helen say she was taking the rubbish out?
27:57Uh, yep.
27:58I was taking the rubbish out.
28:00Well, she hasn't got any rubbish with her.
28:01When does she come back in?
28:06Here.
28:07And then she goes back into the clubhouse.
28:09And she threw something in the bin.
28:11One sec.
28:12Here you go.
28:13So what is that?
28:14Is it like a ticket or something?
28:16Did we go through the bins?
28:17I bagged them.
28:18Just need sorting.
28:21Well, let's get into it.
28:26I'm not criticising Mackenzie,
28:28but before you came back,
28:29you never had to dig through rubbish.
28:33Is this an old tyre?
28:34Yeah, looks like it.
28:40I got it.
28:41Really?
28:42It's a note.
28:43What does it say?
28:45Our spot, 4pm.
28:48Does it say who it's from?
28:55Artie.
28:56That's his handwriting.
28:58Our spot?
29:00Artie and Helen were having a relationship.
29:03Once upon a time, yeah.
29:06Why didn't you tell us?
29:08Tell you what.
29:09We went out 40 years ago.
29:10It was nothing.
29:12He and your husband come to blows over a bowls match.
29:15That was so silly.
29:16As if there's some great rivalry between them.
29:18But Artie and I were over long before Ted was on the scene.
29:23Yet 40 years later,
29:24he writes you a note and you come running.
29:27I don't know.
29:28I don't know.
29:29Yet 40 years later,
29:30he writes you a note and you come running.
29:33Was it really nothing?
29:37No.
29:39It wasn't nothing.
29:50What happened?
29:53We were in love.
29:55Well, at least I was.
29:57I wanted to marry Artie
29:58and spend the rest of my life with him.
30:01Why didn't that happen?
30:05One night,
30:06he just left.
30:10No explanation.
30:11He just disappeared.
30:16That must have been awful.
30:18It's probably for the best.
30:20Mum was happy at least.
30:21She was never a fan.
30:22In all this time,
30:23you never contacted him,
30:24never asked him what happened?
30:27He didn't want me.
30:28What else was there to say?
30:30I met Ted,
30:31we got married
30:32and then there was the baby to think of.
30:34Sorry.
30:37Can you say that again?
30:39I met Ted,
30:40we got married.
30:41There was a baby to think of.
30:46Artie leaves 40 years ago.
30:48Ted has his turn at marriage.
30:50Ted has his turn at Mal's 40th recently.
30:54Southpaw of the bluff.
30:57They're both lefties.
31:02Artie's Mal's father, isn't he?
31:08Yeah.
31:11And he never contacted you?
31:13He didn't know.
31:15No one did.
31:17You never told Mal or Ted?
31:18No, this was my secret to hold.
31:21Ted's given his life to me and to Mal.
31:23He's a good man.
31:24I was...
31:26I'm lucky to have him,
31:27even if he's not what I imagined.
31:30When did you find the note?
31:34After the game.
31:35He left it for me by the register.
31:39You must have wanted answers.
31:41Yeah, well of course I did.
31:43He shows up,
31:44makes trouble with Ted,
31:46he's playing games,
31:47you're angry so you go to your spot.
31:49I could never kill him.
31:50I loved him.
31:52I think I always loved him.
31:55So yeah, I waited for him by the Morton Bay fee.
32:01I shouldn't have gone out there but
32:03I needed to know what my life would have been like
32:05if it was different.
32:08How do you forgive someone for leaving like that?
32:10I didn't forgive him.
32:12I just wanted closure.
32:13Closure.
32:16The Morton Bay fee.
32:19That was your spot.
32:21But he didn't show.
32:23Again.
32:29And now I'll never have answers.
32:36Shut the front door.
32:37So Mal is Artie's son.
32:40Surely that changes everything.
32:41Artie being back is a threat to Helen's marriage,
32:44relationship with her son,
32:45strong motive.
32:47Only if she's being honest about nobody else knowing
32:49that Artie was Mal's father.
32:51You think she's protecting her family?
32:53Possibly.
32:55And why didn't he show up to meet her?
32:57And if the meeting place is here at the Morton Bay fig,
33:00what's he doing on the green?
33:01Probably watching the poor woman cry.
33:03I'd shoot him too.
33:04Oh, Richie.
33:05No, I call it as I see it, Phil.
33:07Still, it comes back to the gun.
33:08Even if Helen did shoot Artie,
33:09the gun was on the wall the whole time
33:10that she was waiting for him.
33:12Mackenzie?
33:13Hmm?
33:14I think you're going to like this.
33:16So I'm going through the club accounts
33:17and look, two weeks ago, $25,000 transferred to AO Boating.
33:21AO?
33:22Adults only?
33:23No, no.
33:24Arthur O'Farrell.
33:26Any sign of that money in his account?
33:28No, but we didn't know he kept his business account open.
33:31So he got paid off by someone at the Bowls Club?
33:34And then he bought a new car.
33:35Who's the club treasurer?
33:36For the other one, why would I ever pay Artie a cent?
33:40To get rid of him.
33:42But I hadn't had any contact with Artie for decades.
33:45Until he suddenly turned up yesterday
33:46and started calling me a cheat.
33:48Didn't he used to go out with Helen?
33:50Years ago.
33:52And he did a runner.
33:53Pathetic.
33:54She hasn't even thought about him since.
34:07Did you know that he was Mal's biological father?
34:11What?
34:12Says who?
34:13Says Helen.
34:14Helen?
34:35You alright?
34:40Artie's.
34:42Of course he is.
34:44He really never told you?
34:47No, detective.
34:49She never told me.
34:54It's a lot to process.
34:55But we need to know what you sent Artie money for.
34:58I told you, I didn't send it.
35:01You're the treasurer.
35:02You have access to the money.
35:04That's how things work.
35:05Those titles don't mean anything.
35:06We all pitch in.
35:07We all have access to the account.
35:11Does Mal know?
35:13I don't think so.
35:15Please don't tell her.
35:19Just give me some time.
35:42I don't feel good about that.
35:47I had to ask.
35:49A piece of information that can just destroy a family.
35:53And we just tell him.
35:55It feels so mean.
35:59It's murder.
36:01It's always mean.
36:12Ballistics.
36:13And?
36:14I can confirm without a doubt, Bush Ranger Bill's gun is the murder weapon.
36:18How is that even possible?
36:19That's one for you guys to answer.
36:21Gunshot residue tests came back.
36:23They're all clear.
36:24Oh, okay.
36:25Well, this visit was helpful.
36:26Hang on.
36:27There's a set of prints on the weapon.
36:29Whose?
36:30Rita DeStefano.
36:33Here we go then.
36:36I'll ring you with anything else.
36:38Great.
36:39Great.
36:40Great.
36:41Great.
36:42Yeah.
36:43Well, I'll go then.
36:44Cheers.
36:56Oh, hello detectives.
36:59You've missed bridge club, I'm afraid.
37:02Your prints are on the Bush Ranger Bill gun.
37:05Of course.
37:06I'm there every day.
37:07Cleaning, organizing.
37:09I even mowed the lawns till Mal took over.
37:11My fingerprints would be everywhere.
37:13Okay.
37:14So why did we only find your prints and not the Red Bluff players?
37:18Because I wiped the gun down when we were packing away.
37:21Those Red Bluff retrobates had their grubby fingers all over it.
37:26You didn't mention that when we questioned you.
37:28You want me to list every tiny thing I do around there?
37:32When it comes to a murder weapon, yes.
37:34Well, I didn't know it was the murder weapon when you asked me.
37:39You paid Artie $25,000 last week, didn't you?
37:43Where would I get $25,000 from?
37:46From the club accounts.
37:48You said it yourself.
37:49Your fingerprints are all over the club.
37:50Something through the books?
37:52What reason would I have to send money to that man?
37:56Did you know he was Mal's father?
37:58Not until an hour ago when I heard from a devastated Ted.
38:03Poor Mal.
38:04What's he going to think?
38:06Phone records.
38:07Artie's mobile.
38:09Hmm.
38:11So, Artie called the club two weeks ago.
38:13Do you know why?
38:15No idea.
38:16Well, he spoke to someone for over four minutes.
38:18Any idea who?
38:19No.
38:21Bloody Artie O'Farrell.
38:24Still causing trouble from beyond the grave.
38:31There's no way to tell you who he spoke to.
38:33But I dug around those dates and I found this.
38:35The day before Artie called the bowls club,
38:37there was a transaction from Mal's credit card
38:39at Gary's coffee shop in Red Blood,
38:41which is about 50 metres from Artie's house.
38:44You went and saw Artie?
38:46Why?
38:47Mal's 40th.
38:48Ted had a turn.
38:49Dad's got heart troubles.
38:50See, he's not supposed to get revved up.
38:52So...
38:53Spent the night in hospital, had bloods, the works.
38:56That's what Mal said.
38:57Felix, can you fetch the contents of Mal's locker for me?
38:59Yep.
39:00You people are unbelievable.
39:02I've just found out my whole life is a lie
39:05and now you think one of us is a murderer.
39:07Just found out?
39:11Yeah.
39:12You didn't go to see Artie two weeks ago?
39:16You got a coffee?
39:17From Gary's in Red Bluff.
39:19It's a long way to go for a coffee,
39:20and a pretty average one at that.
39:22Is it really?
39:23Yeah, it is.
39:24It's a coffee shop in Red Bluff.
39:26It's a coffee shop in Red Bluff.
39:28It's just a coffee, and a pretty average one at that.
39:29Is it because of this?
39:32This is a blood donor card dated from two weeks ago.
39:34We found it in your locker.
39:37My guess?
39:38You decided to give blood after your dad's heart scare.
39:40Do the right thing.
39:41Then the blood types came back
39:42and you realised you couldn't be his son.
39:44Am I getting closer?
39:48Isotype, I may be.
39:53What led you to Artie?
39:54Artie picture on the wall
40:02that was it a blood test and a picture it's not just any picture
40:10sometimes i'd go in i'd see mom looking at her when she thought she was on her
40:15own
40:17i knew it meant something to her so that was the first place i started
40:28but artie turned me away
40:32didn't want anything to do with me and that was the end of it
40:38at least now i know why i've always been such a screw-up
40:43you're not who your father is he's not my father i don't care about
40:49blood groups or biology ted raised me he's my father
40:55and i couldn't have asked for a better one
41:00your biological father completely denies you that that is a pretty strong motive
41:04they all have motives what we need is one simple answer
41:07how did the killer move that gun without being seen how did they get it back on
41:10the wall again if we can understand the how we can
41:12understand the who and understand the why
41:14it's daisy you might want to get down to the surf club
41:22okay hey daisy hey thank you i think he's getting a
41:27bit loose i don't think you're his favorite person
41:31you know i tried to convince him to leave but he's refusing and i've got a
41:35special event tonight
41:43well gran was right i'm a no-fail after all
41:48trouble look at arty he never changed i think mum would have learned a
41:55lesson the first time you skipped out on him
41:58so you spoke to her about it she won't admit
42:02after all those years that she was ready to turn her back on dad for arty
42:09and you still stood her up
42:15uh cab cabs here i got it come on bud
42:20i can manage on my own
42:24just trying to have a drink
42:28poor bloke
42:32what if it wasn't their spot the morton bay fig
42:36i mean why wouldn't he show up if he left helen that note
42:39you think she got the wrong location or what if the note wasn't left for her
42:43well who was it for how did arty afford to start his fishing company when he
42:48left dolphin cove maybe bush ranger bill left him a
42:52tenner it's all yards oh you don't believe it
42:57there were two bush rangers wait what two bush rangers bill
43:05he's black follow partner
43:09sorry sorry everyone sorry two bush rangers
43:18there's history there's myth and then there's what happened
43:26it's all in the yarn reggie do you still have access to the
43:31school library yeah uh-huh
43:49how do you turn a fact into a myth and then a myth into a legend
43:53i mean the answer is pretty simple it's just time and a good storyteller
43:58everything about this crime is the difference between fact
44:01and myth this was a murder a hundred years in the making
44:06like the story of bush ranger bill who fought a gun battle with the governor on
44:10the siege of black tuesday and left everyone
44:1210 pounds that was a myth
44:18and then there's arty o'farrell who also disappeared into the night
44:23breaking helen's heart and then turned up 40 years later at a bowls match
44:29coincidence myth and then there's the gunshot ringing
44:34out with the murder weapon fixed to the wall
44:38it's the biggest myth of them all and behind each of those myths
44:44was a great storyteller and like all great stories it started by
44:49chance just a blood test two weeks ago and a
44:54son who followed the trail as best he could only to be turned away by his
44:58biological father
45:02but it doesn't end there oh no for a hustler like arty o'farrell it was an
45:07opportunity so he called you on the bowls club phone
45:12rita bush ranger bolo give him 25 000 and he'd keep quiet
45:19quite about what mom quite about what
45:27are you going to tell her or am i
45:33you paid arty to leave all those years ago
45:37mom you never approved of him and you would have done anything to stop him
45:41marrying your daughter even when you found out she was
45:44pregnant that never happened
45:49arty perennially broke family with nothing he leaves town no explanation
45:53and next week buys a boat is that all just a
45:57coincidence
46:00but all's well that ends well with you rita i mean sure helen's heartbroken
46:05pregnant to a man she loves but soon enough she marries ted
46:10baby's born life goes on
46:15once arty knew the paternity he knew that you would pay him again even 40
46:19years later and you did twenty five thousand dollars
46:24transferred to ao boating job done secret safe until you saw his
46:30name on the team list
46:34and you knew oh it wasn't going to end
46:39he'd spent your money on a fancy car and he was coming back for more
46:43the note he left you confirmed it
46:47helen thought the note was for her
46:51but you knew it was meant for you
46:56what was your spot
46:59okay my guess is the front green
47:04your father had this painting commissioned
47:08see i just i remembered him as smaller
47:14this was taken when bush ranger bill was alive
47:18do you know just anything i mean he is he's definitely smaller but also he has a
47:25partner two bush rangers one white one
47:29indigenous bush ranger bill and midnight mo
47:37uh each with an identical gun
47:44your father bought these guns at auction and he hid the second gun
47:47making sure no one ever knew about bush ranger bill's offsider
47:51and then he spun his great yarn
47:55apart from you no one knew that the second gun existed or that it worked but
47:59that is the gun that you shot arty o'farrell with
48:07so
48:12but still why didn't senior sergeant strong
48:16and the others see you on the green after the shot i mean you can't move
48:20fast enough to get away how is that possible
48:22and this it's the best yarn yet actually it's
48:25it's my favorite bit there was never a gunshot
48:28no i i i had a gunshot we all did
48:46the only way to get away with it was to muffle the shot that killed arty
48:59and to create a fake shot by blowing out the tire on the lawnmower using the
49:03air compressor constable wilkinson found the burst tire
49:06in the rubbish you know that lawnmower you used to mow
49:10the lawns you knew it would take time for the
49:13tire to blow enough time for you to wash the residue off your hands
49:16and be seen in the clubhouse moments after the bang
49:20but that gunshot was just one more myth what was that
49:25the best you could do in the moments after the gunshot rang out was switch
49:28the murder weapon with the inoperable gun while everyone went to investigate
49:32the noise putting it in plain sight making sure
49:37we didn't look anywhere else for it and making sure we never linked it to you
49:40but we did constable wilkinson found the inoperable gun
49:44in your garage it was an impeccable yarn told by a master storyteller
49:51from a long line of storytellers or alternatively it's just an alibi that
49:57completely fell apart i was looking out for my family
50:03and i was right wasn't i he was no good he never was
50:11i was right
50:14i must feel very satisfying
50:21rita di stefano you are under arrest for the murder of arthur farrell
50:26anything you say or do may be taken down and used as evidence
50:33so
50:54maybe it's better that they know just have the
50:58truth out there i don't know in my family we take our secrets to the
51:02grave are you saying the truth's overrated
