Human Error (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Call came in just after 3:30.
Sonia Matthews, 35.
Two gunshot wounds,
one on left shoulder,
one on the head.
She's been executed.
Sonia might not have had
criminal links,
but whoever executed her might have.
Can you ask around and see
if anyone might've done
a job yesterday?
How much does a 9mil cost
these days?
Do we know why she was targeted?
Are you confirming that
police have made no progress
in identifying the killer
of this pregnant woman?
Holly is making a mess of this.
Shit! I'm pregnant.
Hey.
Hey.
Who was on the phone?
Just work.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(MOANS)
What?
Pink socks?
Dirty.
You're dirty.
Holly.
Oh, yes!
Holly.
Yes!
Holly.
Oh, yes.
Oi.
You've been pulling
all-nighters again.
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
OK. That9s very new.
Sorry.
So, tell me where it hurts.
I'm
I've got a positive result
on a pregnancy test.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
Holly, that's so exciting.
Well, Luke must be thrilled.
He's wanted another baby for ages.
Yeah.
It's not his.
Oh!
Is the father someone that
can offer you some support?
(BREATHES HEAVILY) Uh
We haven't really had a chance
to discuss anything.
I mean, it was just a
just a one night thing.
I mean, he's
You know, he's an old friend.
He's a really good friend
of Luke's, actually.
He's not just, um
Right.
And he's a cop.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
You've got Holly O'Rourke.
Leave a message.
Holly, it's Gab.
Uh, I found some old messages
on Sonia's phone.
It sounds like Sonia was
They're-they're sexy.
It-it sounds like
she was having an affair.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
How are you going with a lead
on the on the murder weapon?
(EXHALES)
I'mI'mI'm working on it.
OK, so news overnight
is that Sonia Matthews
may have been intimate with someone
other than her husband.
Uh, one of my detectives
is following up on that as we speak.
And so, that gives
the husband motive,
but we know for certain that
he didn't do the shooting himself.
I can't find a motive
for his ex and her husband.
So, putting those
three suspects aside
he's our only way in.
Anything about him
that you recognise?
Holds the gun is in his left hand.
Yeah, well, that rules
about 80% of known hit men.
And he's holding
it with one hand only.
A bloody cowboy.
Right?
And he's run is all haphazard.
Let's the target lead him
instead of containing her.
So, either he's had no
formal weapons training
or I don't know he shot himself
under pressure.
Your message, Holls,
it sounded like something happened.
I thought you
I thought you were in trouble.
I am.
I don't have a firm suspect.
Everyone including some of my team
is starting to look at me sideways.
OK.
I was in the middle of a job, Holls.
You just can't pull me out.
III could've
I could've blown my cover.
Sorry, I
I didn't mean to put
you in a bad spot there.
Listen.
Look, I-I've gonna lead on someone
who-who might know
where the gun came from.
I just I haven't had a chance
to reach out to her yet.
Could you do that now?
Sure, sure.
Thanks.
I just need you
to promise me something.
Yeah.
Don't let
'em see you sweat, Holls
Keith, I really need a name.
Like now.
Yeah.
Alright, I'm on it.
Thanks.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(SCOFFS)
Why do you hate me so much?
I don't think
it's that personal (INDISTINCT).
No, these ones all really love me,
this one nothing.
(GIGGLES) Uh, yeah.
OK, undo your belt.
What!
Nah, I didn't mean that.
You don't know what you're missing.
Come on, what do you want?
That murder in Greensburg,
you know anything about it?
Not a lot.
'Cause I heard Dion got
offered a cheap gun last night.
My son has nothing to do with it.
OK, I just wanna know
who offered it to him.
I'm in the market
for a similar piece.
I will give you a name
Huh.
If you tell everyone you speak
to my sons do not kill women,
and definitely not
in front of a kid.
Ricky Larson.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(SIREN WAILS)
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Cheers.
Oh, no.
(CHUCKLES) But thank you.
(INDISTINCT).
Holy shit! A baby?
This changes things.
Yeah, I guess.
Oh, we should talk.
Um, we'll get where we go from here.
We kinda have to be a bit discreet.
Of course, yeah.
OK.
Can I call your later?
I have a meeting (INDISTINCT).
Yeah, well, I'm-I'm here,
when you're ready.
Hey, Gavin.
Hey, Holls.
Where were you, bugger?
What happened to the raid
last night?
We were all dressed up
with nowhere to go.
Sorry, Gavin.
Someone let the tiger know
we were coming.
So, I
But I did get you a coffee
to make up for it.
(CHUCKLES)
Sorry, I'm I interrupting?
Oh no, not at all.
I'll pass, Mate.
But, Holly, you want a coffee?
Oh no, I'm right.
Thanks.
Looks like you're drinking
both of those yourself.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Yes.
Well, enjoy that.
You wanna do this at mine.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, um, see you tonight.
Yeah, Mate. See you there.
Boys are having
a little get-together tonight.
Yeah, I heard about that.
Stop the jab.
Stop the jab. Stop the jab.
Hello.
Morning, Holly.
Just getting some tips off the boys
on hand-to-hand.
Keeping it tight, you know.
(GIGGLES)
OK.
Have you got something?
Ah, yeah, I do, actually.
Hey, my team are on that shooting
in Greensborough, Sonia Matthews.
I have the name of a guy that
might be in possession
of the murder weapon,
Ricard Larson.
He's done a few stints
for possession and assault.
Yeah, we know Ricky.
He shot at us with a crossbow
the last time went to talk to him.
We're hoping to get
into his place nice and quick,
catch him off guard.
Any chance tactical
can give us a hand?
I'd love to say hi to Ricky.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(ON RADIO) Our target
is a gun trader,
has a history of shooting at police.
He's potentially armed
and dangerous.
Keep an eye out
for anyone else inside.
(PLAYS 'NO WOW'
ALBUM BY 'THE KILLS')
(GUN SHOT FIRES)
Ricky Larson!
Police! Stop!
Police! Don't move!
(GRUNTS) Get off. Get off me!
Is that any way
to treat an old mate?
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Come on.
Thanks, Gavin.
(OVER THE PHONE) I looked into
who Sonia was, um, sexting
Yeah.
There were to a burner phone
bought with a stolen card,
so, I can't ID who owns it.
No, there has to be a way to ID
who sent them, Gabe.
Holly.
Ah, yeah?
So I gotta go.
(BIRD CHIRPS)
Stashed under the deck.
We'll clear up top.
It was a 9mil you were after, yeah?
Yeah.
Hang on. There's one more.
How did you come
into possession of the guns, Ricky?
(LAUGHS) No comment.
A woman was shot in her drive way.
It's all over the news.
The gun used to kill her
was same calibre as those weapons
we found in your backyard.
This place is a share house.
You can't prove who they belong to.
I'm on Ricky.
Lawyer.
Where did you get his name from?
Undercover.
So, this is a fifth member
of our team?
No, not technically on our team,
but they're keeping
an eye out for us.
Let's charge Ricky
with possession of illegal firearm.
It'll give us some leverage.
He clearly knows play that angle.
Let's-let's put him in a cell
while Rose takes
a look at the weapons.
(EXHALES)
I separated the messages between
Sonia and the burner phone
to get a timeline
of their interactions,
and see if there are
any identifying details.
OK.
Most of it is just embarrassing.
Except there is something
weird about
the very first message
Sonia received from that phone.
"Use this."
Odd way to start
a conversation, right?
Yeah.
So, then I went back,
and I looked at
all of their messages
on her phone before that.
Three days before, "Use this,"
Sonia sent a message herself
to a different number.
"Lovely meeting you yesterday.
"Thanks for the tip."
Right, now, she never got
a response to that text,
but what if she sent this.
"Thanks for the tip".
Mm-hm.
..to the first one.
And then three days later
received response
from the burner phone.
"Use this new number."
So, we need to know
who she thanked for the tip.
Who's number is it?
I'm just about to do that.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Hey, Baby.
(ON PHONE) Hi, Mum.
How was your day?
Good.
Bear took me to the pool
and taught me
how to break out the plastic cups
while holding my breath.
Ooh, nice! (CHUCKLES)
Mum, we're gonna cook pasta.
Which one do you like?
Oh, I don't think
I'm gonna be home
in time for dinner.
Only cause
I've gotta catch Sonia's killer.
Do you have any suspect?
Sure do.
Hey, can you put Bear on for me?
Fine. Bye, Mum.
I'll talk to her.
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
Hi. Hang on. What?
No, Dad, it's on
I'm gonna be late.
Did you say late?
Uh, that's alright.
OK, talk soon.
OK, see you.
Hey!
Just think,
this could be you one day.
(SCOFFS)
I will not be working murders
when I have children.
We gotta buy some pasta, right?
So, it could be spaghetti
or those tubes.
Or what do
we call little-little ones
that look like bow ties?
Farfalle?
A farfalle. Yeah.
I'll have those.
I don't know why they even had me.
I get ten minutes
with mum in the morning
and ten minutes for dad at night.
May be if I die,
they'll show up to my funeral.
Hey, dude, that's not funny.
(SIGHS)
I found this dead woman once.
Yeah.
You know what she smell like?
What?
Steamed dim sims.
(LAUGHS) Gross.
Let's get
some ice-cream too, alright.
Yeah, the green one.
Yeah. Good.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Oh, what do you say?
What do you
Alright, quiet down!
Quiet down! Quiet down! Quiet down!
(CROWD CHANTS) Gavin!
Gavin! Gavin! Gavin!
I thought you said
this is karaoke night?
(LAUGHTER)
Six months ago,
our leader here
ended a 72-hour siege
by shooting an armed
angry man in the face.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
He left the assailant
without a nose,
and in the process saved a life.
Show off!
No, shut up.
Gav also got himself shot that day.
Didn't you, Gav?
Hey, it's not the first time
someone had a crack,
it won't be the last.
Seriously though, we waited for
(MESSAGE ALERT)
..the official announcement
..but we all know the bosses
don't notice the little things
like nearly getting your blown off
to save a woman's life.
So, from the rest of us, Gavin,
this is the unofficial award
for services
to facial deconstruction.
Thank you.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Oh, hey, Maia. Maia.
I'm sorry.
Ah!
(INDISTINCT).
You just bought.
Cheers, Guys.
Thank you!
Thank you!
(GLASSES CLINK)
Hey.
Hey, how did you go with that
first number Sonia texted?
We can't ID
the owner of that number either.
Come on, Gabe.
Because it's identity protected.
By who?
Us. The police.
I can make an application
for clearance,
but we need to provide details
about why we want access
Send me the number.
I'll just call it.
Right. Go get yourself a drink.
I'll introduce you to everyone.
No thanks.
Mmm?
I've got a date.
Mmm, OK.
Well, um, I'll see ya.
See ya.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Hello. Hello.
(TENSE MUSIC)
In a couple of hours Babe OK?
Alright.
OK, love you too. Alright, bye.
Hey.
Hey.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Hey, can we get
your crew's bodycam footage
from the raid?
Yeah, sure.
I'll get techy onto it.
Thanks.
Also, uh, we found
some messages on Sonia Matthews
old phone records.
Ah, they were sent to the phone
you just answered.
Oh, that was you.
Yeah.
OK, detective.
Look, I've been meaning to raise
this for a while.
Mm-hm.
OK?
I met Sonia at the restaurant
where she worked.
We had a boys' lunch there.
Right.
Had a bit of drink,
we flirted a little.
I left a big tip.
And did you text her?
No, she texted me.
I mean, she must've got my number
from the restaurant booking.
I don't know.
Did you ever see her again?
We went out once, but that was it.
OK. She turned into a bit of a pest
afterwards, wouldn't leave me be.
Look, it's not my proudest moment,
but
if we can keep this between us
Oh, yeah, totally.
Sure, totally confidential.
Um, so, but you know
I have to ask
It was at work,
and I pulled a double shift, OK?
Mm-hm.
I really appreciate
you coming to me with this.
(HOLLY THROWS UP)
OK, alright.
(HOLLY COUGHS)
Here we go. Here we go.
No, leave it. It's done.
No, look, it's fine. It's fine.
Oh god.
It's nothing I haven't seen before.
OK?
My wife's having our third baby.
It's a non stop spew at my place.
Sorry, just
(CLEARS THROAT)
I think It must be something
I had at lunch.
You're shout,
you tight bastard.
Yeah, well that'll do.
Yeah.
Hey, look, um, call me any time.
I'm happy to clear anything up, OK?
Mm-hm.
Hey, look after yourself.
Mm-hm.
('BLACK ICE' BY DEVASTATIONS PLAYS)
('BLACK ICE' BY DEVASTATIONS PLAYS)
This better be good, Holls.
I was beating Butterfield
in a headstand competition.
Yeah, thanks for coming back.
Um, two things.
Can you get Gabe to access
a CCTV footage from this club
on that date there?
I think Sonia went there
for a drink
with our new suspect.
Who's our new suspect?
First thing in the morning,
I want you and Maia
to go to the cafe where she worked,
ask if she was seeing anyone
other than her husband.
Is this about all those
text messages from the burner phone?
Yeah. And can you check
if she had a locker?
Look for any personal items.
Couldn't you have
just told me all this on the phone?
We're in the middle
of an investigation
..and you're on call.
Hey, you were the pub too.
Did you see me wrestling
the boys or doing shots?
OK, Boss.
I'm on.
And do it from home.
Who's our new suspect?
I haven't confirmed it yet.
Are you being for real right now?
It's a police officer, potentially.
I don't wanna give you a name until
I'm sure for your sake,
for mine, for the officer involved.
Then I need to bring Kirsten in on
the plan before we make a move.
I really hope
you're wrong about this.
Yeah, so do I.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(COUGHS)
Whoa, that is strong.
(LAUGHS)
How's the foot?
Ah.
Should be out this a boot by now.
You can't you rush it, Gabe.
Mmm.
You are
You put a hole in it.
(LAUGHS)
Hey, listen, the only people
who know that are you and my cousin.
I don't care, alright?
I think it's funny.
Exactly.
Anyone at work finds out,
that will be it for me.
(LAUGHS)
They're already chaining me
to the death.
I'm just the tech guy.
Uh, there's-there's no way
I did the course.
So, what would you like to do
Detective Kim?
You, uh, wanna arrest someone?
Well, I did ID our new suspect.
Really?
Yeah, mmm.
No, IDed, but I found the lead,
and it's not confirmed yet, but
Huh. Look at you acting all coy.
It's a cop.
Don't tell anyone I told you that.
I could lose my job, you know.
I have a code I have to live by now.
What's the code?
(LAUGHS)
Just once?
(GROANS)
OK.
Mm-hm.
(LAUGHS)
You want me to say it again.
Alright.
There is no greater honour,
no more profound duty
than when a police officer
must investigate
the death of a human being.
(LAUGHS)
Delete that. Delete that.
Delete it.
I'm not deleting it.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
Hey.
Hey.
I've just had some pasta
if you want some.
Uh, yeah, sure.
I'm won't ask you
how your case is going
if you don't ask me about my trial.
OK, deal.
(MESSAGE ALERT)
Do you remember when we talked about
having another kid a while back?
(SCOFFS)
What a joke, eh?
I don't know,
you sounded pretty keen.
That's just my ego talking.
Mmm.
I thought it was
'cause you love Alice so much.
Absolutely.
But look at this.
Barely have time for her.
And we've had sex what
once in the past seven months.
OK, jeez!
I'm just saying it's a bit of a late
from no sex to a quickie
to having a baby.
Point taken.
Besides, I don't think
that's what gonna fix everything
in our life.
Why did we stop having sex?
I lie beside you every night.
I'm there if you want me.
Come on, please.
Don't put this all back on me.
I just figured you'd
lost interest in me in that way.
We could see a counsellor.
If you think that will help.
Mmm.
They must just lock us up.
Never let us see Alice again.
(CHUCKLES)
Maybe.
OK, I'm going to bed.
If you wanna pick it up
from last night.
See you soon.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Hey, what do you got?
Uh, so this link just came through.
Footage from the back
of the vault bar just after
Sonia's card was used there.
You all good?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, just my mood moderators.
Is it working?
Oh, you can tell me in an hour.
OK, here we go.
So, that's her?
Yep.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Is that Captain Butterfield?
Turn it off.
Ah, let's talk in here.
And, thanks for this, Gavin.
I just wanna clarify a few things.
Yeah, go for it.
Um, do you wanna take a seat?
No, I'm good.
I've been on my arse all day.
OK. Look, so, you and Sonia
went for a drink?
Yeah, I told you that.
Did you have a kiss?
Uh, may be once.
See, you never said
anything about kissing.
Uh, come on, Holly.
Would you if you were me?
I mean, you do realise
how incredibly uncomfortable
..this is making me.
Mmm.
Did she ever knock you back?
Why ask me that?
Let's do a formal interview.
Uh, I'm sure you'd love
to interrogate me, Holly.
Listen, I spend every day
cleaning up the most wretched messes
created by men
who can't deal with a woman
who won't do what he wants.
Don't bloody lecture me, Detective.
90%.
I know the figures.
Then you know
that 90% of women are killed
by someone they know.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Holly
if I were you,
I'd be a little more concerned about
that little bean in your belly.
And how you're gonna tell your hubby
you've been fucking one of us,
before someone else does.
Thanks, Detective.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Thank you.
OK.
Of course, I'll keep you posted.
(MOUTHS WORDS)
How'd you go?
Her workmate
couldn't confirm an affair,
but she did mention
a friend of Sonia's
who'd helped her out
with an incident.
No name though.
But we found this in her locker,
with a list at the back.
November 9, nail in tyre,
November 30,
interior light globes in car gone.
Mm-hm.
December 21 runners
on the porch full of red paint.
Sounds like a stalker, right?
Mmm.
Ah, listen, this is difficult,
but we have
a video of Gavin Butterfield
and Sonia outside a bar.
He's admitted to knowing her.
He said it's a brief flirtation,
but the footage we have suggest
something much darker.
So
So, Gavin
Yeah, just keep it down.
So, Gavin helped her out,
she pays him back with a drink
He tries to make a move,
she ultimately rejects him,
and then he can't let her go.
Makes her regret ever meeting him.
What triggers him to kill her?
Oh, she has his real phone number,
maybe she threatened to dob him in.
I know there's no joy
in investigating one of our own.
But we are opening
a line on Gavin Butterfield.
We keep this very quiet.
Remove all evidence from the boards,
from our desks.
Everything is going in a locker.
I'll do some backgrounds,
see what else he's been upto.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
You?
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Rose.
Hey.
The results an in for these guns
you found at Ricky's.
Hey, um, so, we tested these three
against the bullets we recovered
from the crime scene at Sonia's.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Not a match for the murder weapon.
And no finger prints, no DNA.
Can we still charge
Ricky with possession?
There's no point.
He can argue they were in
common area so it won't stick.
So, there is something
unique about these two bad boys.
Wanna take a look?
OK.
See this serial number on this gun?
Now
Now compare it to this one.
Oh, yeah.
They are almost sequential.
Mmm, well done.
Could they be part
of the same cache?
Mm-hm.
So, may be someone
got rid of the one
we wanted before we got there?
Or Gavin took it at the raid.
Either way, there's one missing,
and it could be the gun
that killed Sonia.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Gavin Butterfield
has lodged a complain against you.
What for?
What, for catching him in a lie.
No, harassment.
Oh, come on.
He didn't just ring me
to have a whinge.
This is what he does, Kirsten.
He gets in first before the victim.
I mean, he said that
Sonia was stalking him,
when he was clearly stalking her.
He called her a pest.
There's still needs to be a process.
Oh, he is trying to influence
the case by discrediting me.
Why are you taking
this one so personally?
Kirsten, I'm not.
I think he killed Sonia,
and you wanna talk about
a harassment complaint.
Really?
Come on, Holly. Don't do that.
Just play a straight bat.
Get your team to deal with him
or you build the case evidence.
OK, Holly, are we agreed?
I hear you, Kirsten.
I will handle it.
(EXHALES)
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Maia?
Hey, I found an old internal
complaint against our suspect.
How very interesting.
One of his classmates at the academy
accused him of stalking her,
and says Gavin put his hands
around her throat at one stage.
Can you organise a time to see her?
Sure, Boss.
Prick.
Holly.
Can I talk to you for a sec?
(EXHALES)
Yep.
You're on a mission?
Yeah.
Or you just trying to avoid me?
No. I just
God, don't you feel bad?
About Luke? Yeah, yes.
Have you told him?
No, of course, not.
I mean,
I still have a couple of weeks
to make a decision.
Are you thinking about
not going ahead?
But hey
why did you tell me if you were just
thinking of getting rid of it?
Don't use that kind of language.
Dylan, you sound like the head
of patriarchal dick squad.
Ah! Yeah.
I-I don't wanna be part
of that crew.
Oh no, you don't
get your choose, you just
You get no-nominated.
I'm sorry.
Listen, I could really use
a friend right now,
not a baby daddy.
Alright.
Fair enough.
But here's the thing.
Look, I know this is messy, right?
People are gonna get hurt,
but if you did wanna have our baby,
I would love you to.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Those pink socks that you wear
They're yours, aren't they?
They're (INDISTINCT).
Gavin's former
classmate won't talk to us.
Ah!
She said Gavin ruined her life.
She won't go through that again.
How-how does he get away
with this for like 20 years?
I don't know.
I mean, he's a good police officer.
I guess it's misplaced loyalty.
It's fucking messed up.
Yeah.
What?
Ah!
I just miss being surprised
by the depths
some people will go to.
Does having a family
make it more difficult?
No, it makes me try harder.
I think having Alice has made me
a better detective.
I mean,
not everyone may agree with that.
It's made me care more.
Some people mistake
that for being emotional.
God, I hate that word.
Me too.
Me too, but reacting to that
is a waste of time,
and that's time away from Sonia.
She's the only person who can't
stand for herself any more.
So, it is up to us.
I think there is one person
who might be able to help.
Come on.
Did you really
need to come to my work?
We are investigating
your wife's murder.
People still think I did it.
OK.
So, like, are you prepared
to answer questions or not?
Just
Fire away, Detective.
Did Sonia mentioned anything
about damage to her belongings?
Anything at all?
I don't I don't know
if this means anything, but I
I found a pair of her runners
in the garbage one night
when I was taking the bins out.
There was a red paint all over.
She couldn't explain
where it came from.
What about lights in her car?
Yeah, interior lights.
She said they kept braking.

You don't think
it any of this is related
to Sonia's murder, do you?
Does the name Gavin Butterfield
bring anything else?
Why didn't you mention
any of this before, Mike?
I'm just putting it together now.
OK? Well, you guys
are doing my head in.
Hey! Ah! Oh, my god.
Oh, could have taken
your life in your hands, Keith.
Don't worry about me, Holls.
(INDISTINCT)
when I was on the bike.
So I don't feel pain anymore.
Or love.
(GIGGLES)
That bastard's coming for me.
I don't have anything solid on him.
Well, I've been doing some digging.
Mm-hm.
And it turns out
Butterfield wasn't on duty
the day of Sonia's shooting.
I asked one of their staff officers.
Mm-hm. Someone covered for him.
Butterfield stays here
when his wife kicks him out.
Guess who the chick is.
She's the chick from the siege.
Oh, the one where he shot
the husband in the face?
Wow!
This guy has no boundaries.
I reckon if, uh
if you asked her, you might find out
where Gavin was on the day
of the murder.
Thank you.
Well, you take care of yourself,
alright?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Gotta go.

(DOORBELL RINGS)
Gavin saved my life.
No, I know about the siege.
My husband had a gun
he was threatening to use.
And my kids were in the bedroom
next door.
And I'm not trying to dispute that,
but Gavin has a history
of coercing women.
Do I look like someone
you can push around?
No, not all.
But I also know that
even strong women are abused.
In fact,
they struggle the most to admit it.
I don't know what you want from me.
Was Gavin with you last Friday?
There was a little boy
in the back of the car,
when Sonia was murdered.
He was her step son, Connor.
Saw the whole thing.
He'll kill me if I try to leave.
And I have to leave
if I talk to you.
He might try and kill you
if you stay.
Are you OK, Mum?
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, let's go to bed.
I'll think about it.
Show yourself out.

Fucker.
Idiot.
(TYRES SCREECH)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Your heart's pounding.
I rushed home to see you.
Yeah?
I'm pregnant.
Mmm?
You're not serious.
That's not possible.
Who's is it?
Who's baby is it, Holly?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Dylan's.
Oh, what?
Ah!
Listen, I
How is that even possible?
I mean, he's wife just died.
It was after that. I've
(EXHALES)
Yeah?
You know, I've been
helping him sort things out.
By banging him behind my back.
Don't make this sound s-sordid.
Well, um
A-are you in love with him?
No.
Is that what this is?
Is this part of some plan?
You're gonna run away with him now?
I wouldn't have announced
that. I would've just done it.
Really?
So, you could've been
even more a bitch about it.
Don't pretend like you've
been celibate this whole time.
Oh, nice one, Holly.
Nice one.
Just-just burn it all down.
What, so you're just gonna run away?
I'm in the middle of a trial.
I can't deal with right now.
No, I'll go. I'll
I am going.
You stay here with Alice!
No.
Listen up, I stuffed up.
Hey, stop with the bag.
I stuffed up. Let it go!
Let go of the bag!
(EXHALES)
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Oh, look at you,
you are all organized.
Why did dad leave last night?
Um
He just has a trial
he has to prepare for.
(MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES)
Sound like you were yelling.
Did you have a fight?
Yeah, we had a disagreement.
What about?
Alice, do you mind
if I just make a cup of tea first?
(CAR HONKS)
That's Bear. I have to go.
But I thought I was taking you
to school this morning.
I called him.
Bye, Mum.
(DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)
(VOICEMAIL) Hey, it's Caroline.
You came to see me about Gavin.
I have something for you.
Caroline?
Gavin told me
to get it out of the shed.
He asked me to get rid of it.
Ah, please tell me
you didn't walk in here with a gun,
Caroline.
What?
It's his secret phone.
It's got everything on it.
Thank you.

(INTENSE MUSIC)
Ah, Holly,
I've got no time for this today.
Senior Sergeant Butterfield,
we'd like to interview you about
the murder of Sonia Matthews.
You are like
a bloody dog with a bone.
This is bullshit, Holly.
Mm-hm.
Alright.
Come in. I'll make us a coffee.
No.
We'd like to do
this down at headquarters.
Just take a breath.
I've got some new info.
You might be interested.
Gavin.
I shot the wrong woman.
What do you mean wrong woman?
Was meant to be her.
Someone stuffed up.
OK.
We can talk about that
at headquarters.
(EXHALES)
You are persistent.
I'll give you that much.
You sure you wanna do this, Holly?
(BIRD CHIRPS)
You need to come down
to headquarters now.
I'll drive myself.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
If that's true,
it would explain few things.
Mmm. Imagine if some idiot
killed the wrong person.
We still have to bring him in.
I want him on record.
Of course.
I'll call Maia,
get her to do some research
..on other Sonia Matthews.
OK.
(SCOFFS)
Nice wheels, Gavin.
Catch me if you can, Holls.
You take off, Holly.
I'll be right behind you.
It's OK.
We're fine to follow.
Love this little game
of cat and mouse we're playing.
As long as you're happy.
Always.
