Bite Club (2018) s01e05 Episode Script
Episode 5
1 Full disclosure, I did actually treat Zoe after the attack.
Yeah, full disclosure, I know you're sleeping with her.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Re-sized and ready to go.
It's perfect.
So, when's the wedding? Calm down, we only just got engaged.
Here.
You can have him for the weekend.
But I want him back first thing Monday morning.
Maybe I miss my old life.
You know it can't go back to what it was.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS INTENSITY.]
Your application for detective has been put on hold.
That means it hasn't been approved at this time.
Was that troll still bothering you? Just trying to ignore it.
It's not the shark's fault, it on her, Amber Wells.
Hey, Bob.
[FAKE AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
I think it's a dead body.
It's in a drain on Middle Head, please send somebody.
[INTENSE MUSIC CLIMAXES.]
['IT'S BEAUTIFUL' BY SPIDERBAIT PLAYS.]
Walking in daydreams, I float along Sometime I wonder where I belong Sweet imperfection is all I see This is the best place, where I want to be Secrets are no surprise Hush now, don't ask me why.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SEAGULLS SQUAWK.]
[GRUNTS.]
[CROAKS.]
Help.
Help! [PANTS.]
You were amazing.
- Come on, you were carving up.
- [SURFERS LAUGH.]
[ZOE SIGHS.]
What'd you think? Hey, Zo.
Ah, this is Pia.
Hi.
Alright, hi.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah? [BEACH CROWD MURMURS IN THE BACKGROUND.]
OK.
20 minutes.
Right, bye.
Hey, we got to go.
Yeah, I got it.
What about Mickey, do we? Oh, that's OK.
He can come with me.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Is that cool? Yeah, I guess.
Hi.
Hey.
- Seeya! - Seeya.
Seeya, babe.
[TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
DAN: Had to be a boat.
Ha.
Well, if this tub doesn't make you queasy, this might.
Brian and Leanne Morley, mid 60s.
He's got a nasty contusion to the back of his head.
And they've both got multiple stab wounds, neck and torso.
- Found the knife? - My bet it's in the drink.
They're known to other boaties as the party couple, spending the kids inheritance.
Note the expensive booze and the more expensive blow.
Who called it in? Their son Rowan.
He was on the boat, he's been taken to hospital, also suffering some serious knife wounds.
Tried to fend off the attacker? Anyone get a statement off him? No, he's in surgery.
[TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC CONTINUES.]
So, when I said we could share Mickey, I didn't expect you to farm him out to strangers.
Does Pia have any dog-minding experience? Well, I haven't checked her references.
Is that what's really bothering you? I mean, we haven't talked about it.
About what? You Lunging at me.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it.
It was unintended.
I don't remember much.
I heard a noise about 2.
30am, came up on deck And I felt this sharp pain in my back.
Someone was stabbing me.
And did you get a look at your attacker? I must have stumbled below deck and blacked out.
And then when I woke up this morning, it was when I saw Mum and Dad.
They're dead, aren't they? I'm sorry.
[SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Look, Rowan, I know this is difficult but Is there anyone you can think of who would want to harm your parents? My brother.
Trent.
ZOE: Sorry for your loss.
On all accounts they were good people.
So, Rowan's OK? Seems to be.
He's still in shock.
You don't seem overly upset? Well, I don't have time.
Look, this is a family business, you know.
But for the past few years it's been me doing all the work around here, while Mum and Dad have been spending all the money.
I had to bring an injunction against them just to keep the place from going under.
Sounds like it could be a motive? What about jealousy? Are you talking about your brother? Dad's mistress.
She wanted him to get a divorce.
- Do you have a name? - I don't know who she is.
Well, how do you know about her? Well, I was getting the bills from the hotel they were staying at, wasn't I? Confronted the old man about it.
He admitted and told me to keep it quiet from Mum.
So Good people, yeah.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[TENSE MUSIC CLIMAXES.]
Autopsy report.
The body that was pulled out of a drain on Middle Head.
I'll add it to the pile.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Claire, hey.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Mm-hmm.
Alright, great.
Thanks.
So Deepak's tracked the husband's phone.
Multiple calls to one person, including last night at 1.
40am.
Number belongs to an Emma Bailey.
- The mistress? - Maybe.
The male victim died of a blunt force to the skull.
Lack of blood in the subcutaneous layer of the stab wounds suggest they were inflicted post-mortem.
So, he was already dead when he was stabbed? - Yeah.
- And the wife? Multiple stab wounds, deep as 7 inches, irregular in their pattern.
Defence wounds in the hands, arms.
Fatal strike to the heart.
All suggest a frenzied knife attack.
You're not going to believe this.
Come on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS.]
This is Bob Anderson, found in a drain two nights ago after an anonymous tip.
Forensic analysis tells us he's been dead at least two weeks.
Strangled.
Frozen.
And then dumped three days ago.
Well, that's horrible.
We've got to dead swinging seniors in there.
Hang on.
Is that a bite mark? And Third body, all with teeth missing.
Yeah, not just missing, they're extracted post-mortem.
- Taken like trophies.
- Yeah, don't forget the bite marks.
I mean we might even get a partial signature off this one.
Alright.
Alright, you've got your strike force.
I'll have to get it approved, but for now you can set up in meeting room one.
It's going to take more than just three of us.
- Anyone in particular? - Claire.
She's good, thorough.
You can't drop your other jobs, that's the deal.
Cool.
Oh, and um, I need a photo.
Oh, come on.
You It'll be good for everyone and if I have to ask for the extra spend You're blackmailing me? Ah, let's call it incentivising.
It's just a cover photo.
Fine.
Yeah, I'll do it.
- And your surfer girl.
- Sure.
As long as Zoe does it.
Fantastic.
Yeah, sure.
Hey, we're on.
I reckon that's Emma Bailey.
- What, the father's mistress? - Mm-hmm.
[QUIET BUT TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
So, why did Brian Morley call you at 1.
40am this morning? To say that he loved me and that he was finally going to tell his wife.
Has he made promises like that before? He meant it this time.
He was going to ask her for a divorce.
That would have cost a bit.
He could afford it.
Well, actually the Morley's were spending more than they were making.
There might not have been much left if they had to sell their assets.
Maybe Brian decided he couldn't afford to leave his wife.
Did he call you to tell you that he'd just killed her? Of course not.
But I don't understand, wasn't Brian murdered as well? - Where were you last night, Emma? - Home.
And in the early hours of the morning, between 1.
40am and 3.
00am? Still at home, in bed.
- Can anyone vouch for that? - I was alone.
Did you have anything to do with their murders? Hang on, I came down here to help you out.
I loved Brian and we were going to be together and now he's ruined it.
Who's he? [SIGHS.]
Their son.
Trent? Rowan.
The younger brother? He was so protective of his mother, he would never let his parents get divorced.
What's the verdict? They're all blaming each other.
One brother says it's the other brother, and that brother says it's the mistress.
Maybe it's all three of them? - What have you got from forensics? - Well, we're still waiting but we'd expect to find the brothers' DNA all over the boat anyway.
- Hello, fiance.
- Oh! He loves saying that.
Um, sorry.
Um, I've asked Kristof to consult on the serial case.
Great.
OK, thanks.
Ah, that was the hospital.
Guess who just tried to kill himself? So, you've pulled out your IV and you slashed your wrists with a razor blade? Where'd you get the blade, Rowan? [QUIET, SAD MUSIC PLAYS.]
We're told your brother visited you.
Did he give it to you? Hmm? Did Trent threaten you? Pressure you into doing this to yourself? Rowan? I did it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS.]
I killed my parents.
I waited until they'd passed out drunk.
And then I smashed my dad over the head.
And I stabbed him.
And then when Mum woke up, I knifed her in the chest.
What about the wounds on your back, how do you explain them? I jammed a knife in the doorframe and I rammed myself against it.
That's pretty desperate, don't you think? Who? Rowan Morley.
Throwing himself against a knife, just to cover his tracks.
This is impossible, we're barely putting any pressure on it and it keeps falling out.
Well, the medical report puts the angle of the wounds at 45 degrees.
That'd require downward thrust.
So, if Rowan did this, he didn't do it alone.
Yeah.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
['STOLEN DANCE' BY MILKY CHANCE PLAYS.]
I mean, you show me yours, and I'll show you mine.
OK.
You first.
[WINCES.]
Was that a goldfish? Did you fall in a fish tank? That is a 2m reef shark.
[SIGHS.]
It's a scratch.
- [SIGHS.]
- Have a go at this.
- Oh, man! - So, it's a 4m, which is twice as big as your shark, and ah, that's a great white.
- You win.
- I win.
- Snap.
- Snap.
I guess you've heard all the pirate jokes? Oh, yes.
I work with cops, so they're a bunch of insensitive bastards.
Right.
Zoe didn't seem too happy me taking Mickey today? Yeah, she's possessive like that.
Of you, or the dog? Mmm.
Well, she's getting married in six months, so - Ah! - Mmm.
What's a pirate's favourite letter? Ooh, I don't know.
Arrrr.
Oh! KRISTOF: Come on, Zo.
Be honest.
Are you going to be happy? Living together, working together, are you going to be OK with that? Well, a high-profile case, can make a career.
And, I'll get a paper published at least.
Maybe even a book? Wow.
I didn't realise you were such a publicity hound.
The higher the profile, higher the fees.
And look, it's got kids' bedrooms.
Hmm? And a pool.
And a rumpus room.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[ENERGETIC, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS TO CLIMAX.]
I think I should tell Kristof that I kissed Dan.
What, you don't think I should? No, not if you're going to marry him.
I feel like it's the right thing to do.
That's the cop in you, but don't be an idiot, Zo.
Don't say anything.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
I've got to go.
I've got a photo shoot with Dan.
Can you believe it? - Do you want a lift home? - No, I'll run.
Give us the keys to the house.
- Seeya! - Bye! [MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
[EMAIL INBOX BEEPS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
You wanted to see me, Superintendent? - Ah, Stephen, yeah.
- Come in.
You might be aware that we're in the process of setting up a strike force? Yeah, I had heard something.
Is it about the body in the drain? And possibly others linked to it.
Serial killer? That's what we'll be investigating.
We're a bit stretched, so, I'm looking to get help from outside the department.
I know you want to be a detective, you've shown initiative and persistence.
I trust that you've learned from your mistakes.
Yes, Ma'am.
Serial cases, they sound glamorous but these types of killers, they're often very difficult to find.
It'll be a lot of tedious grunt work.
Well, grunt work's what I'm good at.
It's a criminal investigation position.
Trainee detective? I've spoken to your sergeant, and he's willing to let us have you, if you want it? I won't let you down.
OK.
Well, I'll assign you to Zoe, you can work under her.
Good.
Oh, yeah? OK.
[SIGHS.]
DAN: So, Aaron Lyndon was pulled out of a well three years ago.
Melody Gibbs, found burnt in a squat last month.
And Bob Anderson, dumped in a drain and last seen leaving a local gym, 2.
5 weeks ago.
Slightly different MOs.
But all of them bitten.
Bob Anderson's body's given us a bite signature, albeit partial.
But each of them had a single tooth removed post-mortem.
What we need to do, is figure out the link between these victims.
Well, maybe they were chosen randomly.
Maybe they all went to the same dentist.
[LAUGHS CREEPILY.]
Yeah, laugh.
But if there is a connection we need to find it.
I don't know if this is significant, but the body in the drain, Bob Anderson, is the guy who was trolling Amber.
He attacked her online, said some pretty nasty stuff.
DAN: Yeah, he'd been trolling lots of people.
JIM: Yeah, that's a good start.
So, what we need is a list of anyone he was targeting, yeah? Hey, Zoe? I've been assigned to you.
How can I help? Maybe start looking into Bob Anderson's online activities.
Oh, I thought I'd to be suited to fieldwork? - You'll get the chance.
- DEEPAK: Detective? I think I've got something on the double homicide.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Harbour camera on the night of the murder.
- Is that the couple's boat? - Yes.
It stays there for about half an hour before they leave.
Can you get a clearer look at who is on that runabout? Hmm.
No, but I did get a good image of the registration of the boat.
Oh, nice one.
TRENT: It's registered to the business.
DAN: Mmm.
And what was it doing out on the harbour at 2am, the same night your parents were killed? Mate, I got three boats under construction, this is really going to screw with my schedule.
Well, it's your boat.
Is that you? Well, I didn't go out there, I was in bed at 10pm.
So, you didn't pay your parents a visit? I did, but not then.
So, when? The evening before I called Dad, right? But he didn't answer his phone, so I looked up their position on the GPS and I went out there.
Why? To have it out with him.
Were you worried about your inheritance, yours and your brother's? I don't give a stuff about inheritance, I care about saving this business.
You know, it's usually the other way around, parents trying to save their kids.
And that obviously makes you very angry? [SCOFFS.]
I didn't kill them.
CLAIRE: I found this in the runabout.
What have you got? Jacket.
Like the one in the CCTV.
That looks like blood.
Does this jacket belong to you? [MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
Hey! It's Stephen, right? - Oh, you're Zoe's friend.
- Yeah.
Ah, Cathy, Cath? - [LAUGHS.]
Kate.
- Kate.
- Where's your dog? - Kate.
Inspector Rex? Yeah, he's taking a well-earned break, now that I'm on the strike force.
Is Zoe in? I need to return her keys.
I can return them for you.
Save you a trip? How do I know if I can trust you? Well, I'm a dog person.
We're very trustworthy.
I'm a cat person, we're not.
That's why I'm the obvious choice to return the keys, plus I'm a cop.
Hey, we should go out, some time.
You, me, Zoe, Dan.
Don't you mean Kristof? - Oh, do I? - [LAUGHS.]
- You're naughty.
- Ah, you laughed.
Do you have a pen? Um And a piece of paper? [SIGHS.]
There you go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
My number.
For our double date.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Are you being blackmailed? No.
It was emailed to a senior management distribution list.
Everyone from the Superintendent to the Commissioner has seen it.
Well, who do you think sent it? - Some crook you put away? - I don't know.
It comes from a remailer service, there's no way to trace it.
Well, you know.
So what? Come on.
We're adults, right? Is it that big a deal? I'm in charge of homicide, Jim.
I'm having an affair with a married man, who's my subordinate.
It contravenes professional standards.
At worst, you'll get a region commanders' warning.
Yeah, or at best I'll get that.
There's some people who thought I shouldn't have got the job.
And we've already spoken to Rowan.
He has motive and we can place his runabout at his parents' boat around the time of the murder.
Did he do it alone? Well, we think the brothers are in it together.
I mean, Rowan confessed but, given his knife wounds, we're pretty sure he needed help.
And the jacket was found hidden at the older brother's boatyards.
So, why haven't you charge them? Well, we're still waiting for DNA results on the jacket.
OK.
Well, then use the time to get me something from the serial case.
Hey, I'll catch up with you.
OK, Mr.
Fieldwork, you're with me.
Your friend Kate, dropped these off for you.
Oh, thanks.
He went missing a few weeks ago, and then turned up dead in a drain.
He was murdered.
Do they know who did it? Not yet, but we will.
Is it anything to do with me? That's highly unlikely.
We actually think he's part of a bigger case.
So, he was a bit of a pest, so He has a lot of enemies.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
You OK? Yeah.
[BIRDS CALLING.]
What are we hoping to find? Ah, probably nothing.
Forensics have already examined the scene.
So, why are we here? I just want to try and understand why he chose this place.
Why do you think it's a he? [SCOFFS.]
Lugging 80kg of deadweight into that drain.
But why freeze it in the first place? So, it wouldn't smell.
Well, why not just get rid of it, why hold onto it? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Maybe he didn't have the opportunity to.
Maybe he liked the idea of a body in the freezer, something to look at.
It reminded him of the power he felt.
But isn't that why he keeps the teeth? So, if he likes holding onto the body so much, why get rid of it? Maybe he's making room.
DAN: Good place to dump a body.
Wet, humid, perfect for rapid decomposition.
It's a miracle it was ever found.
It probably wouldn't have been, if it wasn't called in by some guy walking his dog.
Would you walk Mickey out here? Yeah.
RECORDED WOMAN'S VOICE: Which emergency service do you require? - RECORDED MAN'S VOICE: Police.
- Directing you.
RECORDED MAN'S VOICE TWO: Police, how can I help you? Look, I was walking my dog and ah Oh, God.
OK, calm down.
What have you found, sir? I think it's a Dead body.
What's your name and location? It's in a drain on Middle Head, please send somebody.
Well, if this is our guy, it means he set the whole thing up.
Yeah, like some sort of game.
Kristof, how are you going with that profile? He's male, obviously.
He's organised, patient, methodical.
Not typical traits of a young man, so I'd put him somewhere between 30-40.
Probably Caucasian, above average intelligence and he's physically strong.
It took real strength to overpower that latest victim.
And given he froze the body, I'd say it's a good bet he lives alone.
And the teeth? Trophies, right? He's collecting them as a way to relive his crimes.
It's connected to his sexual paraphilia, which is biting.
Teeth are an archetypal symbol of impotence.
What, so you can't, um? He's almost definitely sexually impotent, yep.
OK, we need to be on the lookout for a limp prick.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Hey? What did you think of all that? Psychiatrists just makes up, don't they? Sexually impotent, confused.
Just the usual sick pervert who can't get it up.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES.]
I just dropped something in here earlier.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where are the others? Oh, I thought we'd have more fun on our own.
Shall we? Sure.
So, you are Zoe's new partner now? Well, we work together on the strike force.
She's great, I really like her.
Can't understand how Dan ever let her get away, really.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.]
We went on a date once.
- You and Dan? - Yep.
It was a complete disaster.
All he did was talk about Zoe.
Are you try to tell me something? No! No, no, no.
I didn't mean to No, it's fine.
- Do you want another drink? - Yes, please.
Can we get two more? I have plenty of other topics of conversation, like What does Zoe think about me? [GASPS AMUSEDLY.]
DAN: There you are, boy.
In you go.
PIA: There you go.
That was a quick walk.
Mickey ran out of puff.
Went to seed like you and just sat under a tree.
Ha-ha.
Do you want a glass of water? Oh, a beer'd be great.
- Jim? - Oh, beer for me, thanks.
Sweet.
[SIGHS.]
Why are you looking so glum? We just got a strike force today, you should be happy.
[SIGHS.]
This was sent to upper management by some anonymous prick.
Pretty soon, everyone will know.
There you go.
Well, who cares if they do? You're both grown-ups.
Thanks.
Well, Anna is.
Well, that's what I said.
But she's worried that the brass won't see it that way.
They got more important things to worry about than your sex life, mate.
You'd think so, wouldn't you? Dan, I think there's something wrong with Mickey.
- Shit.
- Shit! Are you OK, buddy? - Hey.
- [MICKEY WHIMPERS.]
What's wrong? Shit! Can you call the vet? [MICKEY WHIMPERS.]
Yeah, maybe we just put him in the car.
- [MICKEY WHIMPERS.]
- Hey, it's OK.
I'm running tests, and I have given him something to make him vomit.
I will keep him under observation for a few hours, so, if you want to go home, I can call you.
No, no.
It's fine, I'll stay.
OK, sit tight.
Here's Zoe.
- Where is he? - Hey, it's OK.
Um, he's been treated.
The vet thinks it's poison.
- Poison? - Yeah.
Shit, Dan.
We don't know how it happened.
I feel terrible about it.
No, it's fine.
It's no-one's fault.
I think I'm just going to leave you guys to it, OK.
- Um, just call me.
- Yeah.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SIGHS.]
[DOGS WHIMPERING AND BARKING IN THE BACKGROUND.]
['GOLDEN' BY KINGSWOOD PLAYS.]
There you go, you've got your hooks in me And I'm secretly high off the feeling.
I hear you dog guys have a bit of a reputation.
What, as animal lovers? - [GROWLS.]
- [LAUGHS.]
No, as sex-crazed womanisers.
Ah well, guilty as charged.
Although, I'm not a dog guy now, am I? Mmm.
The serial killer case.
My lips are sealed.
Just a hint? Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
How would you do it? What? Kill someone? There's plenty of options, all of them lead to you getting caught.
I'd use poison.
Crushed oleander leaves in a cup of tea.
I like it.
I'll use that next time.
What do you think? You want to get out of here, go some place? Yeah.
Alright, well, let's get 'em down.
Race.
Definitely will get my own set of handcuffs, because I'm a detective.
- [LAUGHING.]
You are a dog guy.
- No, not now I'm not.
[LAUGHS.]
Where are we going? Follow me.
Come on.
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
People can see us.
Only if they're looking.
[INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS.]
[GASPS.]
[INTENSE MUSIC ENDS SUDDENLY.]
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
I felt like I couldn't breathe today.
You, me and Kristof in the same room.
It was excruciating.
It was just a kiss, Zo.
Yeah, which wouldn't have happened if you hadn't have come back.
I just want to What? Punch you in the head or something.
I dunno.
I [LAUGHS.]
- [PHONE RINGS.]
- And now Mickey Yeah, mate? [SCOFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
Alright.
I'll let her know.
Thanks, bye.
That was Jim.
Um, he wanted to say sorry.
He left some snail bait out in the backyard and he thinks Mickey got to it.
Good news.
Mickey's going to be OK.
[SIGHS.]
[LAUGHS.]
Phew.
[SIGHS.]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES.]
So, the blood on the jacket from the boatyards came back AB negative, very rare.
But is it a match for Trent Morley? The DNA profile and the blood matches perfectly with his mother.
Well, that proves it.
Matricide.
It's a terrible thing.
My mum would kill me for even thinking about it.
- Let's go.
- OK.
You're wasting your time.
I did not kill my parents.
Mate, DNA evidence says otherwise.
Well, someone must have planted that jacket.
No one planted it, you just didn't - have time to dispose of it.
- [GROANS.]
You're angry at your parents for spending all that money.
You're furious at your dad for lavishing his mistress with expensive gifts.
This is her, Emma Bailey.
Yeah, I know who that is.
It's not Dad's mistress.
So, who is she? Emma's my brother's girlfriend.
[SCOFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
Nice one.
DAN: How long have you been seeing her? Ah, a few months.
Where'd you meet? At the boatyard, I was working there.
Um, she was looking to buy a boat.
Why are you asking about her? She was having an affair with your father.
We've got phone records going back at least 12 months.
That's I I don't believe you.
EMMA'S VOICE RECORDED: I love Brian.
We were going to start a life together and now he's ruined it.
DAN'S VOICE RECORDED: Who is he? [SIGHS.]
Their son, Rowan.
He was so protective of his mother, he would never let his parents get divorced.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SIGHS.]
She deliberately targeted you for her own purpose.
She wanted you to kill your mother, didn't she? So, she could be with your father.
She said that Mum was too controlling.
That she was smothering me.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES.]
That she was holding me back.
And then she said she couldn't be with a guy who was a mama's boy.
What happened on the boat, Rowan? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SIGHS.]
I waited until they'd passed out drunk.
And then I went to stab my mum.
But Dad woke up and he tried to stop me.
And I pushed him and he hit his head and there was blood everywhere, and that's when I rang Em.
On your dad's phone? I was in a panic, I didn't know what to do.
And then she turned up in that runabout from the boatyards? She told me that I was useless for stuffing it up.
She was really angry.
[SNIFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
And then she told me to go into the cabin.
And then I heard Mum start to scream.
And I came out, and Em was sitting on top of her, stabbing her.
And Mum, she Mum was begging and she was screaming and then she just She just looked at me.
And then nothing.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
And that's when you stabbed Brian to make it look like it was all part of the same frenzied attack? And then you stage the whole thing by stabbing Rowan.
[LAUGHS.]
It's a great story.
Pity it's a fantasy.
Right, so you deny having a relationship with both Brian and his son? No, I don't deny it.
So, what? Is that a crime? No, but double murder is.
All I'm guilty of, is stringing a couple of guys along.

Seeya, babe.
[TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
DAN: Had to be a boat.
Ha.
Well, if this tub doesn't make you queasy, this might.
Brian and Leanne Morley, mid 60s.
He's got a nasty contusion to the back of his head.
And they've both got multiple stab wounds, neck and torso.
- Found the knife? - My bet it's in the drink.
They're known to other boaties as the party couple, spending the kids inheritance.
Note the expensive booze and the more expensive blow.
Who called it in? Their son Rowan.
He was on the boat, he's been taken to hospital, also suffering some serious knife wounds.
Tried to fend off the attacker? Anyone get a statement off him? No, he's in surgery.
[TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC CONTINUES.]
So, when I said we could share Mickey, I didn't expect you to farm him out to strangers.
Does Pia have any dog-minding experience? Well, I haven't checked her references.
Is that what's really bothering you? I mean, we haven't talked about it.
About what? You Lunging at me.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it.
It was unintended.
I don't remember much.
I heard a noise about 2.
30am, came up on deck And I felt this sharp pain in my back.
Someone was stabbing me.
And did you get a look at your attacker? I must have stumbled below deck and blacked out.
And then when I woke up this morning, it was when I saw Mum and Dad.
They're dead, aren't they? I'm sorry.
[SOMBRE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Look, Rowan, I know this is difficult but Is there anyone you can think of who would want to harm your parents? My brother.
Trent.
ZOE: Sorry for your loss.
On all accounts they were good people.
So, Rowan's OK? Seems to be.
He's still in shock.
You don't seem overly upset? Well, I don't have time.
Look, this is a family business, you know.
But for the past few years it's been me doing all the work around here, while Mum and Dad have been spending all the money.
I had to bring an injunction against them just to keep the place from going under.
Sounds like it could be a motive? What about jealousy? Are you talking about your brother? Dad's mistress.
She wanted him to get a divorce.
- Do you have a name? - I don't know who she is.
Well, how do you know about her? Well, I was getting the bills from the hotel they were staying at, wasn't I? Confronted the old man about it.
He admitted and told me to keep it quiet from Mum.
So Good people, yeah.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
[TENSE MUSIC CLIMAXES.]

The body that was pulled out of a drain on Middle Head.
I'll add it to the pile.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Claire, hey.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Mm-hmm.
Alright, great.
Thanks.
So Deepak's tracked the husband's phone.
Multiple calls to one person, including last night at 1.
40am.
Number belongs to an Emma Bailey.
- The mistress? - Maybe.
The male victim died of a blunt force to the skull.
Lack of blood in the subcutaneous layer of the stab wounds suggest they were inflicted post-mortem.
So, he was already dead when he was stabbed? - Yeah.
- And the wife? Multiple stab wounds, deep as 7 inches, irregular in their pattern.
Defence wounds in the hands, arms.
Fatal strike to the heart.
All suggest a frenzied knife attack.
You're not going to believe this.
Come on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS.]
This is Bob Anderson, found in a drain two nights ago after an anonymous tip.
Forensic analysis tells us he's been dead at least two weeks.
Strangled.
Frozen.
And then dumped three days ago.
Well, that's horrible.
We've got to dead swinging seniors in there.
Hang on.
Is that a bite mark? And Third body, all with teeth missing.
Yeah, not just missing, they're extracted post-mortem.
- Taken like trophies.
- Yeah, don't forget the bite marks.
I mean we might even get a partial signature off this one.
Alright.
Alright, you've got your strike force.
I'll have to get it approved, but for now you can set up in meeting room one.
It's going to take more than just three of us.
- Anyone in particular? - Claire.
She's good, thorough.
You can't drop your other jobs, that's the deal.
Cool.
Oh, and um, I need a photo.
Oh, come on.
You It'll be good for everyone and if I have to ask for the extra spend You're blackmailing me? Ah, let's call it incentivising.
It's just a cover photo.
Fine.
Yeah, I'll do it.
- And your surfer girl.
- Sure.
As long as Zoe does it.
Fantastic.
Yeah, sure.
Hey, we're on.
I reckon that's Emma Bailey.
- What, the father's mistress? - Mm-hmm.
[QUIET BUT TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
So, why did Brian Morley call you at 1.
40am this morning? To say that he loved me and that he was finally going to tell his wife.
Has he made promises like that before? He meant it this time.
He was going to ask her for a divorce.
That would have cost a bit.
He could afford it.
Well, actually the Morley's were spending more than they were making.
There might not have been much left if they had to sell their assets.
Maybe Brian decided he couldn't afford to leave his wife.
Did he call you to tell you that he'd just killed her? Of course not.
But I don't understand, wasn't Brian murdered as well? - Where were you last night, Emma? - Home.
And in the early hours of the morning, between 1.
40am and 3.
00am? Still at home, in bed.
- Can anyone vouch for that? - I was alone.
Did you have anything to do with their murders? Hang on, I came down here to help you out.
I loved Brian and we were going to be together and now he's ruined it.
Who's he? [SIGHS.]
Their son.
Trent? Rowan.
The younger brother? He was so protective of his mother, he would never let his parents get divorced.
What's the verdict? They're all blaming each other.
One brother says it's the other brother, and that brother says it's the mistress.
Maybe it's all three of them? - What have you got from forensics? - Well, we're still waiting but we'd expect to find the brothers' DNA all over the boat anyway.
- Hello, fiance.
- Oh! He loves saying that.
Um, sorry.
Um, I've asked Kristof to consult on the serial case.
Great.
OK, thanks.
Ah, that was the hospital.
Guess who just tried to kill himself? So, you've pulled out your IV and you slashed your wrists with a razor blade? Where'd you get the blade, Rowan? [QUIET, SAD MUSIC PLAYS.]
We're told your brother visited you.
Did he give it to you? Hmm? Did Trent threaten you? Pressure you into doing this to yourself? Rowan? I did it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS.]
I killed my parents.
I waited until they'd passed out drunk.
And then I smashed my dad over the head.
And I stabbed him.
And then when Mum woke up, I knifed her in the chest.
What about the wounds on your back, how do you explain them? I jammed a knife in the doorframe and I rammed myself against it.
That's pretty desperate, don't you think? Who? Rowan Morley.
Throwing himself against a knife, just to cover his tracks.
This is impossible, we're barely putting any pressure on it and it keeps falling out.
Well, the medical report puts the angle of the wounds at 45 degrees.
That'd require downward thrust.
So, if Rowan did this, he didn't do it alone.
Yeah.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
['STOLEN DANCE' BY MILKY CHANCE PLAYS.]

Maybe even a book? Wow.

You wanted to see me, Superintendent? - Ah, Stephen, yeah.
- Come in.
You might be aware that we're in the process of setting up a strike force? Yeah, I had heard something.
Is it about the body in the drain? And possibly others linked to it.
Serial killer? That's what we'll be investigating.
We're a bit stretched, so, I'm looking to get help from outside the department.
I know you want to be a detective, you've shown initiative and persistence.
I trust that you've learned from your mistakes.
Yes, Ma'am.
Serial cases, they sound glamorous but these types of killers, they're often very difficult to find.
It'll be a lot of tedious grunt work.
Well, grunt work's what I'm good at.
It's a criminal investigation position.
Trainee detective? I've spoken to your sergeant, and he's willing to let us have you, if you want it? I won't let you down.
OK.
Well, I'll assign you to Zoe, you can work under her.
Good.
Oh, yeah? OK.
[SIGHS.]
DAN: So, Aaron Lyndon was pulled out of a well three years ago.
Melody Gibbs, found burnt in a squat last month.
And Bob Anderson, dumped in a drain and last seen leaving a local gym, 2.
5 weeks ago.
Slightly different MOs.
But all of them bitten.
Bob Anderson's body's given us a bite signature, albeit partial.
But each of them had a single tooth removed post-mortem.
What we need to do, is figure out the link between these victims.
Well, maybe they were chosen randomly.
Maybe they all went to the same dentist.
[LAUGHS CREEPILY.]
Yeah, laugh.
But if there is a connection we need to find it.
I don't know if this is significant, but the body in the drain, Bob Anderson, is the guy who was trolling Amber.
He attacked her online, said some pretty nasty stuff.
DAN: Yeah, he'd been trolling lots of people.
JIM: Yeah, that's a good start.
So, what we need is a list of anyone he was targeting, yeah? Hey, Zoe? I've been assigned to you.
How can I help? Maybe start looking into Bob Anderson's online activities.
Oh, I thought I'd to be suited to fieldwork? - You'll get the chance.
- DEEPAK: Detective? I think I've got something on the double homicide.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Harbour camera on the night of the murder.
- Is that the couple's boat? - Yes.
It stays there for about half an hour before they leave.
Can you get a clearer look at who is on that runabout? Hmm.
No, but I did get a good image of the registration of the boat.
Oh, nice one.
TRENT: It's registered to the business.
DAN: Mmm.
And what was it doing out on the harbour at 2am, the same night your parents were killed? Mate, I got three boats under construction, this is really going to screw with my schedule.
Well, it's your boat.
Is that you? Well, I didn't go out there, I was in bed at 10pm.
So, you didn't pay your parents a visit? I did, but not then.
So, when? The evening before I called Dad, right? But he didn't answer his phone, so I looked up their position on the GPS and I went out there.
Why? To have it out with him.
Were you worried about your inheritance, yours and your brother's? I don't give a stuff about inheritance, I care about saving this business.
You know, it's usually the other way around, parents trying to save their kids.
And that obviously makes you very angry? [SCOFFS.]
I didn't kill them.
CLAIRE: I found this in the runabout.
What have you got? Jacket.
Like the one in the CCTV.
That looks like blood.
Does this jacket belong to you? [MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
Hey! It's Stephen, right? - Oh, you're Zoe's friend.
- Yeah.
Ah, Cathy, Cath? - [LAUGHS.]
Kate.
- Kate.
- Where's your dog? - Kate.
Inspector Rex? Yeah, he's taking a well-earned break, now that I'm on the strike force.
Is Zoe in? I need to return her keys.
I can return them for you.
Save you a trip? How do I know if I can trust you? Well, I'm a dog person.
We're very trustworthy.
I'm a cat person, we're not.
That's why I'm the obvious choice to return the keys, plus I'm a cop.
Hey, we should go out, some time.
You, me, Zoe, Dan.
Don't you mean Kristof? - Oh, do I? - [LAUGHS.]
- You're naughty.
- Ah, you laughed.

There you go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
My number.
For our double date.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Are you being blackmailed? No.
It was emailed to a senior management distribution list.
Everyone from the Superintendent to the Commissioner has seen it.
Well, who do you think sent it? - Some crook you put away? - I don't know.
It comes from a remailer service, there's no way to trace it.
Well, you know.
So what? Come on.
We're adults, right? Is it that big a deal? I'm in charge of homicide, Jim.
I'm having an affair with a married man, who's my subordinate.
It contravenes professional standards.
At worst, you'll get a region commanders' warning.
Yeah, or at best I'll get that.
There's some people who thought I shouldn't have got the job.
And we've already spoken to Rowan.
He has motive and we can place his runabout at his parents' boat around the time of the murder.
Did he do it alone? Well, we think the brothers are in it together.
I mean, Rowan confessed but, given his knife wounds, we're pretty sure he needed help.
And the jacket was found hidden at the older brother's boatyards.
So, why haven't you charge them? Well, we're still waiting for DNA results on the jacket.
OK.
Well, then use the time to get me something from the serial case.
Hey, I'll catch up with you.
OK, Mr.
Fieldwork, you're with me.
Your friend Kate, dropped these off for you.
Oh, thanks.
He went missing a few weeks ago, and then turned up dead in a drain.
He was murdered.
Do they know who did it? Not yet, but we will.
Is it anything to do with me? That's highly unlikely.
We actually think he's part of a bigger case.
So, he was a bit of a pest, so He has a lot of enemies.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
You OK? Yeah.
[BIRDS CALLING.]
What are we hoping to find? Ah, probably nothing.
Forensics have already examined the scene.
So, why are we here? I just want to try and understand why he chose this place.
Why do you think it's a he? [SCOFFS.]
Lugging 80kg of deadweight into that drain.
But why freeze it in the first place? So, it wouldn't smell.
Well, why not just get rid of it, why hold onto it? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Maybe he didn't have the opportunity to.
Maybe he liked the idea of a body in the freezer, something to look at.
It reminded him of the power he felt.
But isn't that why he keeps the teeth? So, if he likes holding onto the body so much, why get rid of it? Maybe he's making room.
DAN: Good place to dump a body.
Wet, humid, perfect for rapid decomposition.
It's a miracle it was ever found.
It probably wouldn't have been, if it wasn't called in by some guy walking his dog.
Would you walk Mickey out here? Yeah.
RECORDED WOMAN'S VOICE: Which emergency service do you require? - RECORDED MAN'S VOICE: Police.
- Directing you.
RECORDED MAN'S VOICE TWO: Police, how can I help you? Look, I was walking my dog and ah Oh, God.
OK, calm down.
What have you found, sir? I think it's a Dead body.
What's your name and location? It's in a drain on Middle Head, please send somebody.
Well, if this is our guy, it means he set the whole thing up.
Yeah, like some sort of game.
Kristof, how are you going with that profile? He's male, obviously.
He's organised, patient, methodical.
Not typical traits of a young man, so I'd put him somewhere between 30-40.
Probably Caucasian, above average intelligence and he's physically strong.
It took real strength to overpower that latest victim.
And given he froze the body, I'd say it's a good bet he lives alone.
And the teeth? Trophies, right? He's collecting them as a way to relive his crimes.
It's connected to his sexual paraphilia, which is biting.
Teeth are an archetypal symbol of impotence.
What, so you can't, um? He's almost definitely sexually impotent, yep.
OK, we need to be on the lookout for a limp prick.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Hey? What did you think of all that? Psychiatrists just makes up, don't they? Sexually impotent, confused.
Just the usual sick pervert who can't get it up.

She's great, I really like her.
Can't understand how Dan ever let her get away, really.

- You and Dan? - Yep.
It was a complete disaster.
All he did was talk about Zoe.
Are you try to tell me something? No! No, no, no.
I didn't mean to No, it's fine.
- Do you want another drink? - Yes, please.
Can we get two more? I have plenty of other topics of conversation, like What does Zoe think about me? [GASPS AMUSEDLY.]

That was a quick walk.
Mickey ran out of puff.
Went to seed like you and just sat under a tree.

Do you want a glass of water? Oh, a beer'd be great.
- Jim? - Oh, beer for me, thanks.
Sweet.

Well, who cares if they do? You're both grown-ups.
Thanks.
Well, Anna is.
Well, that's what I said.
But she's worried that the brass won't see it that way.

- Shit.
- Shit! Are you OK, buddy? - Hey.
- [MICKEY WHIMPERS.]
What's wrong? Shit! Can you call the vet? [MICKEY WHIMPERS.]
Yeah, maybe we just put him in the car.

I will keep him under observation for a few hours, so, if you want to go home, I can call you.

OK, sit tight.

That's I I don't believe you.
EMMA'S VOICE RECORDED: I love Brian.
We were going to start a life together and now he's ruined it.
DAN'S VOICE RECORDED: Who is he? [SIGHS.]
Their son, Rowan.
He was so protective of his mother, he would never let his parents get divorced.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SIGHS.]
She deliberately targeted you for her own purpose.
She wanted you to kill your mother, didn't she? So, she could be with your father.
She said that Mum was too controlling.
That she was smothering me.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES.]
That she was holding me back.
And then she said she couldn't be with a guy who was a mama's boy.
What happened on the boat, Rowan? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
[SIGHS.]
I waited until they'd passed out drunk.
And then I went to stab my mum.
But Dad woke up and he tried to stop me.
And I pushed him and he hit his head and there was blood everywhere, and that's when I rang Em.
On your dad's phone? I was in a panic, I didn't know what to do.
And then she turned up in that runabout from the boatyards? She told me that I was useless for stuffing it up.
She was really angry.
[SNIFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
And then she told me to go into the cabin.
And then I heard Mum start to scream.
And I came out, and Em was sitting on top of her, stabbing her.
And Mum, she Mum was begging and she was screaming and then she just She just looked at me.
And then nothing.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES.]
And that's when you stabbed Brian to make it look like it was all part of the same frenzied attack? And then you stage the whole thing by stabbing Rowan.
[LAUGHS.]
It's a great story.
Pity it's a fantasy.
Right, so you deny having a relationship with both Brian and his son? No, I don't deny it.
So, what? Is that a crime? No, but double murder is.
All I'm guilty of, is stringing a couple of guys along.
Tell me you've never done that, Detective.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
That's a pretty necklace.
This was taken the day before the murder.
Look familiar? [MUSIC BUILDS IN INTENSITY.]
You just couldn't help yourself, could you? [MUSIC CONTINUES TO BUILD INTENSITY.]

[SEAGULLS CALLING.]
Emma Bailey's been formally charged.
So, that was an amazing pickup.
That necklace.
Ha! Maybe.
Maybe she's just a self-sabotager.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what I am.
What? [SIGHS.]
It's so shit what happened to us.
I mean, it's hard because we didn't Ever get to process it together.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS.]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
I'm marrying Kristof.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Seeya, Tony.
Say hello to Karen.
Bye.
- Yeah, this one's got potential.
- Mmm.
And I was thinking we could put the home office here and we could put a couple of extra bedrooms, lots of space.
You know what? What? Why wait six months? Who wants a big wedding anyway? [LAUGHING.]
Not me.
So, let's just do it.
You, me, a few friends, Bora Bora.
- Beach, beers.
- Mm-hmm.
Yes.
When? Whenever you want? Next week? [BOTH LAUGH.]
- Mmm.
- Let's do it.
