Bite Club (2018) s01e08 Episode Script

- - Did you guys have a look at the dental technician, Justine Harris? Well, you show me yours and I'll show you mine.
- Oh, wow! - So, it's a four-metre, and that's a great white.
- You win! - I win.
- Snap! - Snap.
Is Dan here? No.
Pia's body went into the water some time that night.
So, you're saying the killer took the boat out around the heads in the middle of the night to dump Pia's body in the ocean? Did you have anything to do with your girlfriend's murder? Do you really think I'm a serial killer? Maybe you killed Pia and then staged it to look like your serial case.
Justine? Justine? You're being suspended until this mess is sorted.
You know me, Anna.
That evidence was planted! Oh, by who, Jim? Well, the freezer was on the terrace.
Anyone could have access to it.
And what about the bite mark, huh? That's gotta prove it wasn't me! Inconclusive, which is the only reason you're not being charged yet.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Go home.
Cool your heels, let us do our job.
Zoe.
If Dan tells you anything, let me know.
You can't seriously believe he did this.
You heard what I said.
Detective Cooper, I'm Lisa Harris.
I've been trying to call you.
I haven't heard from my sister I'm sorry, Ms.
Harris.
I'm on leave.
Can you talk to one of the other detectives? There's no way that I wouldn't have heard from her, not by now.
- Something's wrong.
- Well, have you called Missing Persons? Yeah, I've filed a report.
Can you please just look? Is that Justine Harris? What, you think she's missing? No, not missing.
I think my sister's been murdered.
Justine called me.
She said she needed to get away, and then at the last minute, changed her mind.
No-one's been here in weeks.
- Smells like - Bleach.
Yeah.
She sent me a text.
"Hey, Sis.
Not coming now.
See you later.
Kiss, kiss.
" She never abbreviates like this, "C U L8R".
Since then, no contact, not with me or her friends.
Can you forward that to me? OK, so, due to any possible conflicts of interest with Dan, the Commissioner has decided to replace the current Strike Force team with outside detectives.
Now, I expect that you'll do everything to assist in the handover tomorrow.
That means you've got 24 hours to come up with something.
Right.
Pia, just like the other three victims, had a tooth missing, but unlike them, no bite mark.
So, doesn't that prove it's a different MO? Not necessarily, if Dan is the killer, he'd know they'd be able to match the bite back to him, so What about the boat that was used to dump Pia's body? Oh, we've been unable to locate it.
Alright, well, we don't have much time.
I suggest we get on to it.
Here you go, everything in duplicate.
You better be bloody innocent, mate, or I'm stuffed.
Gee, thanks, Jim.
Thanks for risking your entire career for me.
What are you looking for, anyway? Melody Gibbs's phone records.
The first victim of our serial killer? Why? Here we go.
Last message Melody Gibbs ever sent to her mother.
"Off to Bali.
Lucky me.
C U L8R.
Kiss, kiss.
" Hey.
What can I do to help? - Uh - Seriously.
Zoe, I'd like to help clear Dan's name so Maybe we can look through Pia's house, see if anything was missed.
Crime Scene have already combed it, so if there was something to find, we would have found it.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Yeah? Justine Harris? Why are you looking at her? I'm here, so, just let me know.
Uh, OK.
OK, OK, I'm on my way.
Oh, shit! You're on suspension.
I shouldn't even be talking to you.
- Come inside.
- No, the tooth, explain it to me.
It was at Pia's house, on her kitchen bench.
Then why didn't you tell anyone? Because suddenly Pia's body was being fished out of the sea and I was a wreck! By the time I could think clearly, it was too late.
You need to report it, log it into evidence.
I can't.
I'm being pinned as a serial killer.
Yeah, and now I'm your accomplice.
Thanks a lot! I'm sorry, Zoe.
You know if they found that tooth on me, I'd be in a cell right now.
OK, well, what are we doing here? I think Justine Harris is another one of his victims.
OK, I think she was killed here and whoever did it used bleach to clean the place afterwards.
It was the same at Pia's.
Look at this.
A message from Justine Harris to her sister and this from Melody Gibbs to her mother.
See the link? - "C U L8R"? - Mm-hm.
Do you want to join our quiz team? We've got IT, history, popular culture all covered.
- What's your thing? - What's my thing what? Your specialty subject, dude.
Hey, was there a tooth found at Pia's house? - No, no tooth.
- My mistake.
Oh, hey.
Come on, come on.
Sit.
Sit.
Let's go inside.
Come on.
OK, good boy.
Hey, Mickey.
Hey! Hey.
Hey, buddy.
Are you thirsty? Is that it? Come on.
Come on.
Alright, here you go.
Stephen? Door was open.
What are you doing here? I came to see you.
Not sure why, given the way things ended.
Pretty sure you told me to stop texting you.
Look, I'm sorry.
I was tense.
That's no excuse, but if you give me another chance, I'd like to show you that I'm a nice friendly guy.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I understand.
As long as you're OK.
That's good.
I'll see you.
So, you need to get Crime Scene over here.
Just step back for a moment and think about how this looks, OK? Justine was one of your cases, your DNA will be inside there now, and you've got absolutely nothing to link it to the serial killer.
Her sister called me.
Because she found your card inside the house.
Just get them here, please.
I can't.
As soon as I call this in, I'm gonna have to explain everything, including the tooth.
He killed her, and Pia, and Melody, and God knows how many others, and he will do it again and you know it.
Hey.
I was heading to Command.
Thought I'd stop by, see how you're doing.
Yeah, great, thanks to your mates.
I feel like a prisoner in here.
I have to give them, like, two hours notice if I want to go for a surf! Well, they're here for a reason.
Yeah, to protect me from Dan, apparently.
- Has he tried to contact you? - Nope.
Claire's the only one who's telling me stuff, and that's barely anything.
Well, I'm not sure Claire has his best interests.
She thinks he's guilty.
No way.
Well, you don't think he did anything to Pia, do you? Absolutely not, no.
But if he does try and contact you, you have to let me know.
Why? Well, so I can cover for him.
I'm one of the few cops actually trying to help him, and protect you.
"C U L8R", see you later.
Yeah, it's Dan's smoking gun.
I just don't think there's enough smoke, Zoe.
- Yeah.
- Hey, Stephen.
Do you remember Justine Harris? You gave us the lead on her.
- The dental technician, yeah.
- Yeah, she's missing.
I remember you saying that you spoke to one of her neighbours.
- That's right.
- Do you remember who that was? Not off the top of my head, but I could check my notes.
Yeah, can you do that and let me know? Mm-hm.
Are you serious? Depak showed me the CCTV footage.
When Dan was brought in, he palmed something to Zoe.
So? I'm not looking through her locker.
Look, I don't like doing this too, Claire.
I'm an honest cop.
I know you are.
But if Zoe's been asked to hold on to evidence, that could get her fired.
We have to save her from herself.
Just look out for me.
- Stephen, shh! - Look out for me.
Hey, what's that? What's that? What is that? We have to take that to the boss.
I can't.
I can't.
I'm not even a proper detective.
How is that gonna look? Look, Claire, this is evidence in a murder case.
If you don't take this to Anna, Dan's gonna bring Zoe down with him.
Why did you search my locker? It's evidence in a murder case that you deliberately concealed.
- I didn't, I was just - Trying to protect Dan? Did you know about this? Pia's missing tooth.
Dan gave it to her.
He's innocent, Jim.
I know it.
You know what, forget Dan, 'cause right now I'm trying to decide how guilty you are! Get out.
And you haven't seen anyone hanging around? OK, thanks.
Excuse me.
Hey.
I'm just making some enquiries about your neighbour, Justine Harris.
I haven't seen her in weeks, I mean, not since that police van turned up.
Police van? Yeah, came and went a couple of times.
Had a dog in it.
A dog? Are you sure? Big Alsatian.
Dan comes back for Amber Wells.
Well, that's what he said, but It gives him a motive to kill our Internet troll here.
He was harassing Amber.
Well, what about Melody Gibbs, the doctor, her boyfriend? I don't know, Jim.
All I know is that Dan was here when the boyfriend was murdered and the doctor run down.
Dan goes missing for three years, comes back right around the same time that Melody Gibbs is killed? Dan's timeframe matches our killer's exactly.
Yeah, OK, I agree He took material evidence in a crime scene.
I've got no choice.
I have to arrest him.
Yeah? A warrant's just been issued for your arrest.
Why? They found the tooth, mate.
Yeah.
Zoe's in the shit too.
OK.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Amber.
Hey, it's OK.
I need to ask you a question, right, about Stephen Langley.
Yeah.
Do you remember where you first met him? Stephen yeah, we met online.
Why? Online? Yeah.
He started messaging me.
Do you have your phone? Can you get it for me? Yep.
Bring up Stephen's messages.
C U L8R.
C U L8R.
C U L8R.
Shit! Dan? Amber? Everything OK? Yeah.
Why? We need to get you out of here now.
OK.
I don't know, what if Kristof's right? Dan didn't get the help he needed and he came back damaged? You cops, I swear, you're all head cases.
I'm still struggling to figure Stephen out.
He came by here today.
Stephen did? Yep, even after he told me to stay away from him.
What did you say to him? Well, I told him I wasn't interested.
He's weird, even for me.
You know he bit me? What? He bit you? Oh, shit! Why didn't you tell me this? I don't know.
I guess I was embarrassed.
Have you got it? Give me one good reason I shouldn't call the police.
Well, Zoe believes me.
Well, some would say that's misguided.
Why do you want this file? I think this is the guy we've been looking for.
I think he killed Pia too.
Why would Stephen Langley kill Pia? To set me up! Right, and what do you expect to find? Some clue to motive, some insight Dan, you should just give yourself Look, please, just just tell me anything.
Look, Kristof, what if I'm right? Do you really want this guy working with Zoe, huh? OK, this doesn't necessarily mean anything, alright? But I got some information off a colleague of mine in the UK.
- Right.
- I wasn't authorised to.
- But you wanted to check on him.
- Right.
I was dotting the 'I's and crossing the 'T's when Stephen applied for detective.
I wanted to know why he was shuffled around so many foster care homes.
And why was he? Dan, what are you doing here? Come on in.
You know there's a warrant out for you? Look, you're a smart guy, Stephen.
I need your help.
Sure.
Anything.
Pull up a chair.
You want a beer? - Yeah.
- OK.
- Cheers.
- Yeah, cheers.
I can't believe this, man.
They can't really think you're a serial killer.
No, they got it wrong but I do think it's a cop.
Why do you think that? Well, he was able to frame me.
He has inside information and he knows we're getting closer.
I think he murdered Justine Harris too.
- The dental technician? Why? - Mmm.
Well, I was hoping you could help me out with that.
Yeah, anything.
Well, you went to Justine's house on successive days, right? I don't think 'Cause the neighbour remembers seeing your van parked out on the street on the day that Justine was last seen alive.
Lots of police interest in that woman at that point.
Must've been someone else.
Oh, no, she remembers your dog.
I was there.
Yeah, erm The day of her arrest.
Mm-hm.
Spoke to her neighbour.
I think she'd had a few cheeky ones.
Right! That explains it, then.
Mmm.
'Cause if you had've been there, you might've seen the killer.
Yeah, that's right.
Would have been able to help you out.
Yeah.
That's a shame, isn't it? It's OK.
I just keep thinking, though.
Why me, you know? What's he got against me? Well, maybe it's not personal.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, it's pretty personal.
Convenient scapegoat.
No, it's more than that.
Well, maybe he wants what you've got.
What's that, one leg? Oh! No, I mean Dan, come on.
You know, I mean You're a popular guy.
Everyone likes you.
You're, you know you're a survivor.
I mean, it's your dynamic.
Maybe he's jealous of all the attention that you get.
I guess it doesn't really matter what gets his rocks off, you know.
The guy's a biting sadistic psychopath, and I mean, he's not gonna get away with it.
- Yeah, I hope you're right.
- Mmm.
Looks like you had a freezer there.
- Yeah.
I was laughing with Jim.
- Mmm.
Young, white, single.
Lives on his own, has a freezer.
Could be me, right? Could be.
Why'd you get rid of it? Stopped working.
I wasn't really using it.
Just Just a bit of dog meat in there.
The occasional dead body.
- Right.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, dead body.
- Mmm.
I better get going.
OK.
I wouldn't want to put you in a compromising position.
Hey, be careful out there, Dan.
Lots of cops with itchy trigger fingers.
Better get my guy, then.
Catch you later.
See you.
- Hey, Zo! - You shouldn't be here.
I need you to get a warrant to search Stephen Langley's house.
Stephen? He did it.
He killed all of them.
Have you got proof of that? No, no, which is why we need the warrant.
When he was young, he was moved around foster homes.
You wanna know why? He was biting the other children.
You can speak to Kristof.
Look, I can't get a search warrant without some kind of proof OK, what if I can put Stephen at Justine Harris's house on the day that she disappeared? No, you'll need more than that.
What if I can match the bite mark to him? How? I think I might have something.
Yep, check all the marinas, OK? We need to find that boat.
Yes, a photo.
Kate, please, just take one and send it through to me now.
OK, bye.
Excuse me.
I need you to run this against the killer's partial bite signature, see if you get a match.
Well, that's going to take me a bit of time.
I need to accurately depict the orientation, size, depth of the bite But you can do it? Yeah, of course.
Send it to me.
Did the police see you leave? No.
Went out the back.
Good girl.
Did the right thing calling me last night.
Well, you said you could prove Dan's innocence.
Yeah, I thought I could.
I was up all night looking at the evidence.
It's not too good.
Wait, so, when you saw him at the beach, what did he want to know? Uh, he just wanted to look at your text messages.
He he was really interested in this one, the last one.
"C U L8R.
" Mmm.
What does it mean? Well, I don't know.
You tell me.
Just a harmless message.
Mmm.
You know, I worked with a guy in England who became increasingly paranoid, like Dan is now, and eventually he was diagnosed as schizophrenic.
What? Do you think Dan's sick? Well, maybe he lost more than his leg to that shark.
Can I use your bathroom? Yeah, it's just down the hall.
OK, time's up.
The Strike Force is being replaced as of now.
Please hand in all relevant documentation.
What was that? Phone calls and leads will be directed to the new team.
Hey, Zo.
Possible lead on the boat.
Owner reported it stolen, but then called back saying it had shown up again the next morning.
- OK, thanks.
- Yeah.
Hey, so, I should probably head off before they realise I'm missing.
I wanted to talk to you about something.
Um, could you sit? Yeah.
Er OK, er erm, you know I like you, right? Erm, from the first moment I saw you, I thought that we were kindred spirits.
You felt that, right? Mmm.
Good.
So, I was thinking.
When all this blows over, maybe you could move in here.
Oh! Oh, that's so nice, but you know, um I'll be away, and Yeah, I can come watch you surf.
When you're not competing, we can live here, together.
It'll be grand.
Jim? Uh yeah, no prob I can do that, sure.
Hey, erm, any news on the boat? Great.
OK.
I've been called in.
I'm gonna have to go.
Seems that Dan is causing quite a few problems.
Just gonna give Claire a call.
She'll be She'll be freaking out.
I can't let you do that, Amber.
It's OK.
Just it's OK.
- It's OK.
- Just gonna go.
No, no, let's stay here, OK? Hey, it's alright, Amber.
It's OK.
Amber.
It's OK.
- I'm just gonna go! - Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Shh, shh, shh.
Come on, come on.
It's alright, it's alright.
It's OK.
Yep, that's him.
Great.
Thank you.
Hey.
The neighbour confirms it was Stephen.
He came back several times and went inside the house.
I think I've found the boat used to dump Pia's body.
Bell Road Jetty.
You better get down here.
Alright, I'm on my way.
Pia's earring.
Oh! That was sloppy of me, wasn't it? Help! Help! Help! Help! Hey! Arggh! Zoe! Zoe! Zoe! Are you OK? Are you OK? We gotta go back! We gotta swim back to the jetty, alright? - No, I can't move! - We gotta swim back to the jetty! - I can't move! - We gotta swim back to the jetty! - I can't move! - Listen! Look at me! I've got you! I've got you.

Come on.
I got you.
Come on.
OK, you're doing great.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
You can do it.
Hey, Jim.
Have you seen Zoe? Er, she's out following a lead.
Why? I have a possible match to the bite marks on all our victims.
What are you doing? Everything that points to Dan as guilty is also relevant to Stephen Langley.
Stephen? Yeah, Stephen.
It's him.
We got the proof.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's gonna be OK now.
Are you gonna kill me? No.
No.
I love you.
I loved you since the first moment I saw you, Amber.
We've both been scarred you and me.
But I know, deep down, that you love me.
You do, don't you? You love me? - Yeah? You love me, yeah? - Yeah.
Zoe's dead.
Dan did it.
All of it.
No! No, Denver, get back! Back! - Back, Denver! - Arggh! Get back! Arggh! Arggh! Arggh! Arggh! Arggh! Arggh! Amber! Amber! Sorry, Amber! Amber? Come out! We'll talk about it! Amber? No! No! No! No!

You're OK.
You're OK.
It's OK.
I can see the headlines, "Serial killer on Strike Force.
" I should hand in my resignation now.
Yeah, you and me both.
Never believed it was you.
What about that arrest warrant? For your own protection.
Erm, I need to talk to your boyfriend about an insanity plea.
Can you get him to call me? Hey, bud! Hey, buddy! Hi! Sit, sit.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Enjoying your time off? Surprisingly, yes.
Doing nothing actually suits me.
So, when do you think you'll come back to work? Don't know.
Might need a few years.
Oh, hello.
You're new.
I'm writing my life story.
I'm at the point where I get my first puppy.
Are you a dog person? I can always tell.
See you later.
