A Remarkable Place to Die (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
I had sex with someone.
I just felt like I should
be honest about it.
Maybe that that could be you.
Doug Snapes.
What about him?
Someone chucked him
out of a helicopter.
[screaming]
I have to go to interview
my father's killer.
Your good mate Doug is dead.
And do you know why he's dead, Alan?
He's dead because someone
is tying up loose ends.
Did your brother ever mention
a man named Luke Staunton?
Who?
Another bloody conspiracy theory?
A whole new obsession with
your dad's death, too?
Maja, I'm concerned for you.
Maybe you should ask Luke
some of the questions
I've been asking you.
Doug Snapes was a loose end.
I have to make sense of this.
And my every instinct is telling me
that you can help me.
Wow.
Oh, my goodness.
Harry, honestly, it's
been a wonderful evening
and a lovely idea.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you
[glasses clink]
for finding the time
to share it with me.
Oh, come on now.
Well, it's true.
You have been very
busy these last weeks.
She has community responsibilities now.
My council needs me.
She's the new chair of the
Arts Festival Committee, Harry.
She's in demand.
- It's going to be huge
- fireworks, lighting
installations, concerts.
Yeah, and even more tourists.
Yes.
Good time to be getting
out of town, Luke reckons.
Oh.
Surely, you're not tired
of that lovely apartment
I found you already.
No, hardly.
No, I'm just trying to entice you
away on a holiday in Europe.
Sounds fun.
I have business in France.
And I thought you might
be interested in floating
around in the Med for a bit.
Wow.
Um
[explosions]
Holy shit.
Oh, my god.
Bloody hell.

Ihaka, hi.
I brought hot chocolate.
Aw. Come in.
- Come in.
- Thank you.
I hope I wasn't interrupting.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Just boring old work stuff.
I see.
- I wasn't sure
- Since you came
Oh.
[giggling]
You go, please.
Um, I wasn't sure where you were at.
It's been a while.
Yeah, I kind of got a bit wounded.
To be honest, I'm not proud of it.
It's okay.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry for
I'm sorry for my absence.
I guess, I wasn't really
sure how to respond.
I think your absence kind of
was the response, wasn't it?
Yeah.
[giggles] That's true.
[sighs]
So what changed your mind?
Ah.
[chuckles] Some rigorous
self-examination
and missing my friend.
I missed you, too.
- Hot chocolate?
- Yeah.
Yes, please.

Woo.
See?
Good run.
Great way to start the day.
Yeah.
Yoga is usually my thing.
Yeah, but it's not exactly
aerobic, though, is it?
It can be.
We'll make the run a
regular thing, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
So, um so where's Sam again?
He's fishing for a couple of days
and then hunting for a couple of days.
And he'll probably arrive and want
a party for a couple of days.
You know Sam.
I indulge him.
That's what we do, isn't it, Maja?
Indulge them.
[quirky music]
♪
Took your time.
Well, you didn't say first thing.
Do you want to take the
lead on this one, Detective?
Well, I am homicide, so yeah.
Jean-Pierre Lumiere, he's French.
Really?
Wow.
What else?
He's a pyrotechnics maestro
was displays in
Paris, Berlin, Venice.
This was his first in
Queenstown and his last.
His right-hand man, Jim
Matheson, is a Kiwi.
And then there's a
couple from Australia,
Kylie and Robbie Shorrock.
Wasn't there something with Lumiere,
one of his crew, recently,
about a week ago?
It was a uniform matter.
I'll check with Hoana.
Hmm.
When does the explosives expert arrive?
Sergeant Gracewell.
I spoke to Wellington.
They reckoned late morning.
They weren't too sure how
they can help, though.
They're usually dealing
with unexploded ordnance.
They'll know more than we do.
Yeah.
Sharon's trying to locate
Fingers Hanalay, too.
Fingers?
Uh, a.k.a.
Frank.
He's another pyrotechnician.
He's had the contract for
the New Year's fireworks
for the last couple of years.
But not the Arts Festival.
Wonder why.
[suspenseful music]
♪
It's more techno, light
shows too, not just fireworks.
Here, check out the promo.
Hello, Queenstown.
It's time for Fist of Fire.
Jean-Pierre Lumiere and
Associates brings to you
from Europe and the world
the best, the brightest,
the extraordinaire
fireworks, along with
lasers, interactive lighting.
[speaking French]
We come to you.
Now you come to us.
Well, I can't see
Fingers matching that.
No.
What what is the Fingers about?
Well, he's a bit of
a loose cannon, and
well, it's a pretty dangerous job, eh?
We should get Fingers' take on Lumiere
getting the contract.
Still can't find him.
He's not at the address
we got from his rego.
And, hey, you guys were right
about the earlier incident
10 days ago, a mugging.
Two of Lumiere's pyrotechnics
crew came in to report it.
Yeah, we took a statement
from a Kylie Sharrock.
She and her husband,
Robbie, worked for the uh,
maestro Jean-Pierre Lumiere
Okay, enough with the accent, Jarrod.
You sound like The Count
from "Sesame Street."
One mugging, two muggings, ah-ha-ha!
What?
Ken and I, we had young kids once.
You know?
Right.
So what did happen to Kylie?
Yes, three of them.
And they just come out of nowhere.
And this was at what time?
Um
Oh, just after 11:00 last night.
We went out for a few drinks.
I'd come out, gone to get the truck
Oh, and I was waiting in
the lane around the corner,
which was dumb, I suppose.
Because it was dark there.
And they grabbed my bag, but
I wasn't gonna let that go.
No way.
Hmm.
Pocket rocket, this one.
Eh, babe?
I don't back down, no.
I had a bit of a go at them.
Look, I want these buggers caught.
Hey.
Robbie made me come down here.
Well, of course I did.
I mean, look at her.
No, it's good that you came in.
We'll need to take
photos of your injuries.
Is that all right?
Yeah.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Good, clear shots.
[non-English].
She gave great descriptions
of her assailants.
Just kids, but we haven't
been able to find them so far.
Do the Shorrocks know
about the explosion?
Yeah.
And the other guy on
the crew, Jim Matheson.
Do we know where he is?
Same place he was
this morning, I imagine.
[plodding banjo music]
♪
Food poisoning.
They decided to keep him
in for a couple of days
to rehydrate him.
He'll probably be allowed
out after afternoon rounds.
They've been unbelievably
unlucky, this pyro crew.
Yeah, unbelievably.
Hey, so Shelby, how's
it going with Jarrod?
He driving you nuts yet?
Um, uh, you know,
in a in a nice way.
He's sweet.
He's very sweet.
Hmm.
Um, anyway, it's just
in here to the right.
Okay, great.
Hey, question night shift
what time do you do obs?
Oh, it depends on the patient.
I mean, if they're not
flagged red or orange,
it's usually a 12-hour interval,
so around 7:00 or 8:00 PM,
then again in the morning.
Okay, great. Thanks, Shelby.
No worries.
Bad sight.
[sighs]
[knocking]
Mr. Matheson, hope
you're feeling better.
Detectives Delaney and Mallory.
Queenstown Police.
We need to ask you a few questions.
Don't ask me any questions, mate.
Ask him.
He killed my mate, and he tried
to kill me as well, right?
And now he's telling me not to talk?
Hey!
[suspenseful music]
Sorry.
[engine roaring]
[wheels scrape]
Hey, Mr. Hannelly!
Frank Hannelly!
Stop!
Son of a bitch.
[breath huffs]
He poisoned me.
I was in the pub having a meal,
and he came in and started
asking me about my job.
And you know you can't stop
me talking about pyrotechnics.
But anyway, I went for a leak.
I came back, and the same
night, food poisoning.
- He's gone. [BREATHLESS]
- He's gone, he's gone.
Why would he want to poison you?
I found out he usually
does the displays here,
and we're talking big bucks.
All right?
So I lose the competition.
And now my best friend is gone.
[somber music]
♪
[harsh sigh]
Why would Mr. Lumiere be
out on that barge at night?
Who knows.
It'd be too dark to work.
We'd already set up and sealed
two mortar racks and cakes.
He wouldn't set up
another one in the dark.
JP wouldn't do that, no way.
JP?
Jean-Pierre.
Can I see him?
I don't think that's a good idea.
All pretty much gone, charred.
Part of the right arm is missing just
above the ulnar humeral joint.
Also known as elbow.
You know, there would be
a lot more he could tell us
if he ended up in the water.
Right.
So you think the explosion killed him?
I mean, we've heard it before
one thing to conceal another,
like Rafael da Costa gone
over the cliff in that car.
You remember all their names?
Oh, every one.
[somber music]
♪
So, um, definitely the explosion then?
Yes, yes.
Concealment doesn't apply this time.
Given the range and extent
of structural damage,
I'm sure that he was standing facing
the source of the explosion.
Okay, so it could still be an accident.
But, you know, his
colleagues did say he was
a stickler for safety, so
Yeah.
You're treating it as suspicious?
Yeah, obviously.
Well, we have interviews and
an explosives expert arriving.
- So we'd better get back.
- Great.
Okay, we will have a full
written report to you
by tomorrow morning, Anjali.
Great. Thanks.
Maybe see you soon?
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
Detective.
You meet up with her, then.
- [STAMMERS] Sorry, what?
- What do you mean?
Oh, come on, doc.
You've been miserable for weeks,
and now suddenly here's
Detective Mallory, and
What?
No that's, that's rubbish.

Sure thing.

You can't.
Got a message for you, and my

You got to stop calling me.
You asked me to call you,

I'll talk to you, okay?
One on one.
But you've got to relocate me first.

I can do that, Alan.
I can maybe get you

Sort it out with my lawyer.
That's the deal.
No move, no talk.

Well, you be sure to get in
touch once you're settled.
All right, darling, I've got to go.
That was my niece visiting from Europe.
Yeah.
Alan Sauter is finally ready to talk,
but he is demanding
to be relocated first.
Do you know how many
hoops I have to jump through
to swing a transfer, Anais?
No, [sighs] I don't.
But listen, Sauter can tell

Maybe my sister's, too.
You told me to stick at

We got to move on this.
Okay.
I'll talk to Head of Corrections.
But Anais, I can't
promise you anything, okay?

Thank you.
You let me know, yeah?

You can bugger off.
Look, the fireworks might be stuffed,
but we're still gonna give this
place the best light show ever.
Good oath.
Hey, I still have some
questions I need to ask you.
We've got no idea what happened.
We were in bed at the
hotel when she blew.
[breath huffs] Biggest
bang of his life.
JP's, that is.
We missed it.

Well, me, yesterday
afternoon on the barge.
Full kegs. [chuckling]
Magic!
Nigel was in the
hospital out of action,
so Robbie stepped up.
And you?
Well, I was stuck here working.
Didn't even speak to JP yesterday.
Right.
Do either of you know
a Fingers Hannelly?

- Never heard of him
Pyro?
He's a fucking menace.
His health and safety is crap.

health and safety?
Five star.
JP Lumiere is a bloody genius.
Yeah.

Well, you're the cop.
That's your job.

Never met the guy.

nothing to do with him.

See?
Match wiring.
All looks like spaghetti to me.
Yeah, carbonara.
[laughs] Yeah.
So how does this all work?
The lift charge sends
the shell into the air.
A timed fuse sets off
a burst charge that
activates the pretty stuff.
But the whole lot went off.
Yeah.
A lift charge needs a hole
to launch the firework.
The smaller the hole,
the higher it goes.
But if that hole was blocked
Boom?
Yeah.
Everything nearby
probably goes up as well.
But what triggers the explosion?
Electric matches
spark the quick match
Ah!
leading into the lift
charges of the shells.
They're electronically
fired from a console,
so it's pretty hard to do by accident.
Could they have been
remotely activated?
Potentially.
Yeah.
I was just about to ask that, actually.
And so, potentially.
Cool.
But there'd be physical
evidence if that happened,
though, right?
Yeah, a receiver of some sort.
It's a shambles out there.
We couldn't even find the console.
It'll take hours to go through
it all, so I took some samples
to test in the meantime.
Hmm.
I'm a walking chemistry lab.
I'll analyze the
residue, see if there's
anything out of whack.
Soon as I'm done, I'll
sift through the debris.
Okay.
Well, you'll need to stay over.
Should I organize some
accommodation, Anais?
Okay. Yeah.
Thank you, Sergeant.

anything in Jim's food?
No.
Did he mention anything

Residue.
The left charge was a
standard black powder mix.
But it was made up of much
finer grains than usual.
Yeah, which means a faster,
more volatile explosion.
Mm.
You know, one that never
even left the mortar.
So it was like
because there was no hole
to let the energy out?
Well done.
Right.
But this doesn't confirm
it was deliberate, does it?
No.
It could have been a
failure in the mixture
or the casing itself.
Yeah.
So I guess we prove it was
deliberate by answering
two questions what sent
Lumiere out there at night?
And what was the method of ignition?
Yes, exactly.
Your search of the debris

Are you familiar with that name?
Jimbo.
Maybe you know him as Billy.
No.
No, I don't know any Billy.
Billy certainly knows you, Jimbo.
And he's not very complimentary.
He was another one of Lumiere's lovers.
And so were you.
[accordion music]
No.
He ditched you for Billy.
He also slept with
Kylie, your co-worker.
He got her name tattooed
on his upper arm.
Did you tell Robbie about that?
No.
No!
He saw it and he hit her.
JP was gonna report him,
and so they killed him.
No.
It was you who called
Lumiere and told him there
was a problem at the barge.
It was your call
that got him out there.
You'd already sneaked out of hospital
and organized to get to the barge
so you could set up
your radio receiver.
But it wasn't entirely destroyed, Jim.
We have fragments, physical evidence.
Blaming Fingers was a pretty
good piece of misdirection,
- I'll give you that.
- Yeah.
And it was a pretty good
alibi, being in hospital
when the explosion happened.
But your food poisoning
was self-administered.
And guess what.
You slipped up.
You said you called Lumiere to tell him
you'd be back to work the next day.
But when you made that
call, you couldn't possibly
have known when you'd be out.
And then there's this, Jimbo.
All his conquests.
You were an earlier tattoo.
And this this was
the ultimate insult.
This superimposing,
canceling you out
it must have been very painful, Jim.
[shuddering breaths] He lied to me.
He betrayed me.
He was still talking to
Billy the whole time,
and then he fucking
screwed Kylie as well.
Maestro?
He was a fucking monster.
We also checked your call logs.
There is only one outgoing
call after the call to Lumiere
and it's an odd one, four numbers
2, 2, 6, 4.
On a keypad, that's B-A-N-G.
[fireworks whine]
[breaths huffing]
Chrysanthemum.
Cheers.
Full confession.
And great news on
your mother's staffer.
He's going to be okay.
Yeah.
She could probably employ old
Fingers for the next festival.
[laughter]
I'll let Gemma know.
Duty called.
She said she had to go.
Oh.
Okay.
Um
[phone trilling]
Anais.
This is for you.
It's about Harry Grayson.
Hey, I'm worried about Anais.
I think she's got a lot going
on, and I think she needs help.
Hm?
What sort of things?
She all good?
I don't know.
She won't let anyone in.

Hi there.
How you feeling?
Ah, much better, actually.
Luke gave me a pill, so

It's a great idea.

Got the money?
Hey, wow, Uncle Ken, this is so cool.
So great to be here.
So good to have you here, hun.
I've got bank records.
I've got dates.
I've got times.
And I've got this
Doug Snapes' ledger.
This is proof of how it
was all put together.
Okay?
The labs, the payments, everything.
I couldn't figure it
out, and then I got this.
These are the missing pages.
Your brother had them, Ben.
They were his leverage.
They were what was keeping him safe.
And they prove who was
funding the whole operation.
Why are you telling me this?
And you'll be telling your cop mates.
I wanted you to know before
I turn it all over in case
it gets swept under the rug.
She's handing it over tomorrow.
So the money, and then
you can have the phone,
and I never heard any of this.
Never mention it.
Deal with your problem
any way you want to.

Anais.
We need to talk.
This is insane.
I ran into Ben.
Yeah, Ben Sauter.
This is his phone.
He recorded everything.
Now you've crossed the line.
We're having this out now.
Great.
Let's go.
I'd say I feel sorry for you, but I'm
sick to fucking death of you chasing
me around with all this shit.
And you know what?
If it was just me getting
hurt, that'd be fine.
But dragging down Maja?
Fuck you.
Once I show this to Sharon, you
can kiss goodbye to your badge
and your whole job.
So fuck this, and fuck that.
It's fine.
It makes no difference to me.
I've got copies of all of that.
Oh, copies of all your delusions?
They're not delusions.
Why are you so fixated on me, huh?
Come on!
What have you got on me really?
What I've got, Luke, is a
whole lot of payments made
to Doug Snapes, payments that pass
through him to Alan Sauter,
your old partner in crime.
Profits from a very
lucrative drug operation.
And what makes you think
I'm involved in all of that?
PB.
What are you talking about?
You're PB.
Pretty Boy speaking.
[laughter]
Pretty Boy.
That's what they used to call you.
I've got it all, Luke.
I've got the paper trail.
You can drop the act now, okay?
This is over for you.
Hm.
You always wanted to know
about my business, huh?
[ominous music]
I told you it was boring.
But you were never satisfied, were you?
You really want to know, huh?
We made a lot of money, Anais,
and it was so fucking easy.
Tell me about Dad.
[sighs] It was like the cops said.
He came across one of our
labs in a rental property.
[non-English]
What they didn't know
is that we were paying
him off to keep him quiet.
But he wanted more money.
I guess he had some rather
expensive hobbies, didn't he?
What was her name again?
Did you pay Alan Sauter to do it?
Why, do you want to speak to him?
No. No, No.
No? No.
I didn't think so.
It's not that hard, Alan.
Just dissuade him from asking for more.
Yeah, okay.
I can dissuade him.
Passed on your demands
to our associate,
and he suggested that we dissuade you.
Hm?
[thud]
[groaning]
So are you dissuaded now?
Yeah, all right!
- Please!
- Are you?
Huh?
Yeah cut it out!
No, you're not, are you?
Yes!
Yes!
Not dissuaded enough.
[screams]
Oh, god!
[body thuds]
I didn't have him killed.
Sauter went rogue on me.
Bullshit.
Tell me about Lynne.
Look, I knew she was on
P. I wanted to help her,
but she didn't want to listen
to me because by then she
was already a fucking addict.
She did not drive off
Skippers Canyon, okay?
She was way too cautious for that.
Tell me what happened, Luke.
[whimpering]
Did you pay to have her killed, too?
Did she know too much?
[screams]
There is a payment in this
ledger the day after she died.
$50,000.
$50,000 for my sister's life.
Who the fuck is GL?
Are you GL?
Who is GL, if it's not you?

What gym lady?
Right next to your friend's place.
The gym lady.
Oh, my god.
Fuck.
