Mr and Mrs Murder (2013) s01e08 Episode Script
A Flare for Murder
1 Now, ladies and gentlemen Song sing a song song.
For She's a jolly good fellow For she's a jolly good fellow For she's a jolly good fellow! And so say all of us.
Hip, hip! Hooray! Hip, hip! Hooray! Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip! Hooray! To all the Eskimos.
I'm not drinking that.
Yes, you are, mate.
Alright, now listen up, everybody.
Ha, ha.
A toast to Jenny! To Jenny! Alistair.
Alistair.
Jenny, darling.
Alistair, just settle down.
Come on.
Jenny! Jenny.
Dad, stop it.
I'm down.
I'm settled down.
Dad.
Dad.
I can't handle this.
You're not going.
Yeah, I am.
You're not going! Alistair.
Stop it.
Let her go.
Jenny! You're not going, Jenny.
Dad, let me go! You're not not going now.
Stop it! Let go of me! Stop it.
Let go! Jenny! Come here! Jenny! Just let it go, mate.
Let it go.
Al.
What are you looking at? Hip, hip hooray! Hi.
Our forensics just need a bit more time.
They're grabbing some samples from the boat.
Oh, right.
Great.
So we can't go on yet? No, I'm afraid.
Oh, that's good.
Do you want to call Jess, darling? No, no, no.
The tablets should kick in.
I'll be fine.
'Cause Charlie gets a little bit seasick.
We're on the pier.
I know, but it's swaying a bit, isn't it? It's swaying, darling, isn't it? Have you tried ginger? Yeah, yeah.
I tried ginger, yeah.
Actually, low level ambient noise is supposed to be good, so tell us what happened.
Jennifer Travers, 22, shot with a flare gun.
Time of death, roughly between midnight and 1:00am.
Phosphorous burning her insides.
Oh.
An awful way to go.
Yeah, at the moment we're pretty certain it was her father, Alistair.
He's being questioned as we speak.
Her father? Yeah.
They had a fairly violent argument earlier that evening, and CCTV camera caught him walking along the pier towards the boat at 11:50, leaving at 12:10.
No-one else came through.
Right.
So what did they argue about? Uh, well, we're still taking statements from witnesses, but it was supposed to be a celebration and Dad's a heavy drinker, suffers from blackouts, says he can't remember a thing.
Jennifer Travers - she's just come back from that around-the-world voyage thing.
Yeah, that's the one.
That's the one.
She followed the same route as Charles Darwin's original 'Beagle'.
Five years it took him.
It only took her one.
Wow, he must be sick.
He usually chimes in by now.
Oh, no, no, I'm fine.
Five years.
I heard you.
Actually, I just want to go back on land for a moment.
Just call call Jess, sweetie.
Yeah, I'll I'll give her a ring.
Oh, well.
I get to brief you one-on-one.
So, did the flare gun come from the boat? Yeah.
Uh, it looks like a heat-of-the-moment, first-thing-to-hand sort of crime.
So what's going on here? Uh, there was a lot of water on the deck when she was found.
What, so you're thinking the killer swam over? Maybe.
Apparently Jennifer was a swimmer so it's probably her.
No, no.
Why would she get on from this end? It doesn't make any sense.
That end's much easier and you have to be quite strong to haul yourself up here.
Though, of course, you wouldn't be captured by the security cameras over there.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we're checking that.
I can give you a hand if you like, if Charlie's not up to it.
No, no, we'll be fine.
Thanks, Pete.
Alright, boys.
Thanks.
Eugh.
Hm.
Ooh.
Hi.
Need a hand? Hi, darling.
No, we're good.
Maybe you should stay on the pier and use a very long-handled mop.
Jess, Jess, you won't get anywhere in life unless you challenge yourself.
Distraction is the key.
I mean, look at this joinery.
It's just brilliant, isn't it, really? Exquisite.
What an amazing adventure.
You should really think about doing something like this, Jess.
Logbooks are missing.
Peter probably took them.
Oh.
I see she didn't take exactly the same route as Charles Darwin.
Look, those dates are interesting as well.
Mmm.
This must be her dad.
They look really happy.
I'll just take this bag up.
Hang hang on, there's nothing in that yet.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
I was just wondering how long you were gonna be.
I am I just I just need to lie down.
Oh.
Haven't got your sea legs yet? Oh.
Took me a couple of years.
I don't think mankind was meant to float on the surface of the ocean.
It's just a theory I have.
Look, I was hoping you were going to be finished by the time Jennifer's father got back.
I don't want him to see it like this.
Jennifer's father's coming back to the boat? Yes.
Oh.
OK.
Well, we're gonna be a while.
It's gonna take a while to clean.
Would you mind if I grab Jenny's logbook? It meant a lot to her.
The police have already taken that, I think.
It's not there.
OK.
Well, if you need anything, why don't you head up to the Marine Supplies - that's us.
Send your invoice to the business address.
Thank you Mai? Chaka Khan! Think quick, sweetie.
You're looking better.
Well, distraction is the key.
II get that.
I just want you to take a look at the letters.
Yes, OK, I will.
OK.
We've got some letters from Alistair and also from Trent.
Right.
OK.
Thank you.
We'll take them into consideration.
You do that.
You guys done? Uh, yeah, just about.
So, what's the deal with Alistair's wife? Well, I'm back on land so my powers have returned.
Well, she didn't realise we had already released him.
And he didn't come home.
Alistair's been released? Yeah, for now.
We'll get another statement from him tomorrow after he sobers up.
He can't remember a thing from last night.
What are those? Jennifer's letters.
That's a few from the ex, most of them from her dad.
Mai reckons it proves that Alistair is innocent.
The ex? Uh, yeah, Trent.
He belongs to the club - runs sailing classes for Alistair.
Why did they break up? Why does anyone break up? Because people do weird things when they break up.
Look, this one doesn't need any Buchanan magic to solve, OK? The ex has an alibi and we've almost got what we need on the father.
No 'Famous Five' stuff, OK? Famous five? "Woof," said Timmy? Woof! Do you want to turn on the hydroxyl generator 'cause you've never done it before? Yes, please, I'm dying to.
Great.
Well, knock yourself out, kid.
Remember, you've got to set it to 6, and make sure the extraction vent's pointed away from your face.
Janine tried it once.
She got too close - almost ripped her lip off.
Well, it's the danger that makes it exciting.
Mmm.
So.
Oh, she's growing up, isn't she? Certainly is.
How old is she now, anyway in Earth-years, do you think? Sorry, I Is it OK if we put these on the deck? Oh, God! Of course.
Thanks.
I'm I'm Claire.
That's that's Trent.
It's not often you get that kind of kindness from the police.
Oh, no, actually, we're not the police.
No, we're, um, we're the cleaners.
Oh.
He was no worse than usual.
And he loved Jenny.
He wouldn't Alistair's kind of like my own father.
Do you know what they were fighting about? Claire.
I've got to reschedule the lessons for tomorrow.
So why don't you take a taxi home, huh? I'll finish up here.
Bbye.
Wow.
Hmm.
An awful lot of people seem to passionately believe that Alistair couldn't have done it.
Why don't we pay a visit to Beach Haven Marine Supplies? Hmm.
Proprietors Alistair and Mai Travers.
Ba-ba-ba-ta ba-bow! Ba-bow! Well pressed the button.
It was like a dream that wouldn't end.
Great.
What's happening? Nothing.
Nothing.
Where are you going? What are you doing? Nothing.
We're not doing anything.
Just the invoicing.
Just doing the invoices.
It's boring.
Administrative.
Nothing.
You're not interested.
Hello? Hello! - Hello? - We're closed.
Oh.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Sorry, we're not actually customers.
We're the the cleaners.
We're still closed.
We just wanted to drop off our invoice.
So.
Just there.
Personal touch.
You don't get that a lot these days.
We're very sorry about your daughter.
Yeah, we have a niece about the same age.
Yeah.
Oi.
Oh, um.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's very nice of you.
Whoa.
We Cheers.
Jennifer.
Jennifer.
Whoa.
Don't feel obliged.
I'll have 'em if you don't.
Oh, no, we Lovely.
Thank you.
Thanks.
So that's that's from Jenny's trip.
That's a web thingy they made her do for the sponsorship deals, you know, weekly updates, videos, sort of things.
That's a great photo.
I love it.
That's the, uh essence of Jenny.
She thought she looked fat.
She liked it enough to put it up in her cabin.
No.
No, not that one, love.
Must be a different photo.
She's There's just that one.
Oh, and and this one which is Oh.
Meant to give that to her last night.
To apologise.
What happened? I, uh I can't bloody remember.
Perhaps Jenny didn't accept the apology and things got ugly.
No.
No, if Jenny rejected the apology, why would she put up that photo? Well, what makes you think she put it up? Whoever did kill Jenny didn't use the pier, though, 'cause if they did, they would have been seen by that camera that captured Alistair.
It's one big bag of strangeness, Charlie.
They they're house keys, darling.
Are they? Mmm.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I don't think either of us should be driving after that rum.
Chaka Khan? Mmm? You look nice.
You look nice, too.
Mmm? Hi, guys.
Oh, my gosh, the islands here are so amazing.
I just had no idea See, sweetie, the photograph of Jennifer and Alistair isn't up during the trip at all.
But it is now.
I think Alistair's telling the truth.
I think I'm gonna put my MBA on hold and go travelling.
What do you think? Whatever you want to do, sweetie.
Yeah, Jess.
There's only so much you can learn about the world from books.
Oh, is that the girl? Mmm.
Yep.
She single-handedly sailed around the world.
It's pretty amazing.
I've never, ever felt this alone before.
And I really miss the bay breeze.
I don't think I could handle the solitude.
You spend a lot of time in your room by yourself.
No.
No, I sneak out a lot.
What's this on her face, do you think? Shaving cut? You should try hitchhiking through Russia.
That'd be fascinating.
I'd love to do that.
Wow.
Rio is even more beautiful than what I thought.
It's It's magical.
When I sailed in and the sun rose up behind Christ the Redeemer it was breathtaking.
That cut's still there.
That can't be right.
No.
Look.
Darling, no, no The Christ the Redeemer statue.
It's built to face the rising sun.
You can't rise the sun behind it.
You wouldn't get that wrong if you were actually there.
Whoo! Oh, I think She's lying alright.
And not just about Christ the Redeemer.
Teeming.
This is a dream come true.
These videos are fake.
I've waited my whole life for this.
Hey.
Did you watch the videos? Most of the night.
So they're fakes, aren't they? Some of them, yeah.
According to the date on those videos, that scratch on her face was there for six months.
And her hair never changes or grows.
Do you want to order something? They get funny here if you don't.
II'm fine, thanks.
Could we get a couple of rum balls? Thanks.
OK, um, yes, she probably didn't go where she said she went.
You asked for this.
Thank you.
You didn't get it from me.
OK.
Is that the logbook from the case? Yeah.
Fantastic.
Thank you, Peter.
Charlie.
Um, if anything, it gives Alistair more motive to kill her.
How so? Well, she had a pretty big sponsorship deal if she completed the voyage, but Alistair's company underwrote the initial cost so if the sponsors found out she was faking it, he'd lose a lot of money.
What about the ex-boyfriend, Trent? He's mentioned a few times.
Yeah.
And a dozen other people.
Ah-ha, I see what - St Helena.
This is where she comes unstuck in my view.
Mauritius to Madagascar, she makes pretty average progress.
Madagascar to Durban to Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, or Kapstadt as it's known in Afrikaans - very, very slow.
But then she hits St Helena - named after St Helena of Constantinople, and discovered by the Portuguese in 1503.
To get to the South Atlantic at that speed, she must have been behind the wheel of Douglas Campbell's 'Bluebird'.
I mean, in the winter months, fair enough, but in the summer when the trade winds are at their weakest, no freakin' way.
Ah.
Yeah, that that's exactly our thinking, yeah.
So she must have wanted someone to think she was somewhere she wasn't.
Frightened by the angry ex-boyfriend? Or father, who paid for the trip.
Or the angry ex-boyfriend.
Mmm.
Yeah.
I'll check the ports.
Where are you off to? Uh, some sailing lessons.
Sailing lessons.
Thank you.
Maybe she was scared of Trent.
He seemed quite intense yesterday, don't you think? It was quite odd.
Yeah, but he's got an alibi.
Yeah.
Alibi-schmalibi.
Yeah, good point.
I hadn't considered that.
Can I help you? Oh, hi.
Um We were looking for the lessons.
Uh, Trent's down by the pier.
He's taking a lesson with Claire.
Oh, good.
Good.
Have you been swimming in the bay? I didn't even know that was legal.
Well, not advisable, but it keeps me fit.
Very good.
Well, sorry, what was your name? Louis.
Louis.
Thanks for your help, Louis.
Thanks.
Can you just grab on to the lifeline? OK.
Great.
Are you OK? Uh You look a bit peaky.
Seasick? I'm Yeah, a little.
A little, yeah.
My advice, squid in brine.
Really? Sounds pretty rough, but you'll find it's hair of the dog.
I think I'd prefer hair of the dog.
That thing you're playing with, Charlie, is called a cam cleat or a jam cleat.
Right.
Never leave it released 'cause under full sail Right.
You should know how dangerous it is.
No, no, that'll come in very handy one day, I'm sure.
I'll show you how to operate the tailing winch.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh You guys make a really good team.
We've um been talking about doing a trip, like maybe up to Hamilton Island.
Oh, sounds serious.
It's been eight months and two weeks.
Oh, right.
What? Oh, nothing.
No.
What? Just Trent and Jennifer, were were they? Trent and Jenny were over, like, a long time ago, like, before she left.
Right.
Oh.
What on earth gave you that idea? II don't know.
I'm sorry, just I'd heard Stupid.
They were just meant to be friends, but we're much more than that.
But we were still her allies.
Allies.
So who was the enemy? Well, in Jenny's mind, Mai.
Mai, Alistair's wife, Mai? Mmm.
More like a wicked stepmother.
She got Alistair's power of attorney about the same time that Jenny left.
Mm-hm.
Because Alistair was you know.
I'm telling you, Charlie - it's like she's under Trent's spell.
She couldn't stop checking to see if he was listening.
I think she knows something.
What about you? Did you find out anything? Are you alright? Look, it was rough out there but, you know, I I held it together.
I only had to eat three squid.
Oh, darling.
Are you sure you want to do the actual sailing part? Would it involve any more than we we did on the Well, we'd probably have to leave the harbour.
Right, you you relax.
I'll get the hydroxyl generator.
No, you know, if I'm gonna beat this thing, I'm gonna have to grow some sea legs.
Oh, no, darling, darling, distraction's the key.
Distraction.
Distraction.
OK, Claire.
Claire seemed very definite about Trent and Jennifer being over.
But what if Trent didn't think so? What if he's desperately waiting for Jennifer to return and then when she does, she she rejects him again? No, I think No, no, no.
Stay there.
OK.
Um, senses.
Other senses? Smell.
OK.
- Smell that.
Mmm.
- Yep, that's good.
That's a good distraction.
Look at the joinery.
Look at the Noise.
Up, down, up, down.
Wait a minute.
The sun the sunlight is different than it was See, that's weird.
That's a that's a false bottom.
Sorry.
Darling.
It's a smuggler's hold, I think.
20 kilos of Columbian spliff in here.
Hello.
And good evening.
Care for a sandwich? I think I would.
Charlie, a hospital ID bracelet.
She wasn't alone.
That's why she faked the videos.
She had a baby.
Lucy Travers.
A name and a date and no name of the hospital.
Yeah, I can read.
Thanks, Charlie.
It would help us explain why she faked her videos.
Yes.
The birth was 11 months after she left here.
So the solo voyage technically not solo.
Which wouldn't sit so well with the boyfriend she left behind.
Ex-boyfriend.
What if Trent was waiting for Jennifer to come home and then when she finally did, he finds out she had a baby with someone else.
You know, he could've gone crazy - swum over to the boat to avoid the cameras and killed her.
We're gonna have to talk to everyone again.
Still keeps Alistair firmly in the frame though.
He's her father.
What what about the baby Lucy? We'll check the hospitals and adoption centres but where do you start? There must be a thousand possible places she could have had that baby.
Millions.
Billions.
Alright, I'll check it out.
It's not Alistair - there's no way.
But his amnesia means he can't deny he did it or admit it if he did.
Maybe we could help him with his amnesia.
A dysfunctional hippocampus and limbic system makes the brain one of the most difficult organs to stimulate.
We can't just hit him on the head with a shovel.
No, Nic.
No.
Alistair.
Hi.
We just wanted to have a quick talk with you.
Just wanted to ask you some questions about the night that Jenny came home.
When when she sailed into port, do you remember if she was wearing a life vest? What? Yeah, I s'pose.
What else was she wearing? It's it's important.
She was, um, done up - all done up.
Um, make-up, dress, etc.
Irritated me.
And who greeted her first? I don't know where you're going with all this stuff Alistair, just just trust us.
I did.
And she was wearing make-up? Yeah.
And, um perfume.
Was it this? Yeah.
Yeah.
When did you next smell it? It was on the wharf, after the speeches, then then on her boat, um We hugged.
I I smelt it.
I I gave her the photo.
Then, um, she smiled.
Then I went to to a dive bar in the city, the Duncan, I think.
I did.
That's I went I went to the Duncan.
That that's a 24-hour joint.
I couldn't have killed her.
I was happy.
I You know, Jenny's back.
She's she had a b A baby.
OK, great.
Thanks, Pete.
Bye.
Sweetie? Yes, darling? Good news or the bad news? Um, well, mix them together so I can't tell.
OK.
It's all legit.
Alistair was at the Duncan just like he said.
He's got loads of happy witnesses given he was shouting drinks until dawn - a lot of drinks apparently.
See? Alcohol can be a good thing.
I know.
Yeah.
And Trent can't swim.
He teaches sailing.
I know, but with Alistair out of the picture, the police realised the killer had to have swum to the boat.
They questioned Trent and he can't swim a stroke.
I s'pose Lord Nelson couldn't swim.
He can't be the father of the baby either.
He doesn't even have a passport.
He can't have gone to see Jenny.
Well, she couldn't have sailed back here to Australia - given we know where she did get to, that would be impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Yeah.
Well, I'm off to expand my horizons.
The university's temperance society's doing a nothing and cheese night.
So don't wait up.
I might make her a little outfit, you know, something a little bit more cheerful.
That'd be nice.
A lovely idea.
Beautiful.
So, any luck finding out where baby Lucy was born? Oh, well, given most of the videos are recorded below deck, even the ones that might be real don't give away her position.
So if she faked parts of the trip that's the end of the sponsorship deal.
Dad would have ended up paying the bill.
Yeah, I wonder how his young wife felt about that? It says on the door they're open.
Yeah.
Alright, sweetie, I think now might be a good time for me to have a little look-see.
Oh, yeah.
Sure, sure.
And you'll, um keep an eye on things down here.
Absolutely.
Yep.
I'll I'll keep guard.
Honey, honey sweetie, just make sure you put everything back the way it was 'cause they can tell if anything's out of order - anything Oh.
What are you doing? Hello, Mai.
How are you? Lovely to see you again.
Charlie.
We met at the pier.
And this is my my beautiful wife, Nicola.
Hello.
Oh, darling.
Hello.
What are you doing? Uh Um, uh, we just dropped in to About the invoice.
.
.
to get an estimate.
About when you might be able to pay.
On an invoice that you handed in, what, yesterday at the earliest? Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's the that's the one.
So, you clean for the police? Are you investigating for them too? Um What am I? The wicked stepmother? Been talking to Claire have you? Well, Nicola Or is it because I look after Alistair's bookkeeping and we stand to lose everything because of that silly girl of his? Both? This place has been running at a loss long before Alistair and I got together.
We live off my money and my investments.
OK? Right.
I don't know who killed Jennifer.
And I can't even guess.
But I know it wasn't Alistair, and I'm damned sure it wasn't me.
II was so sure it was her.
I feel terrible.
Well, whoever it was who killed Jenny couldn't have walked past that camera.
No more jumping to conclusions, Charlie.
I mean it.
So whoever it was must have swum.
Well, the only really good swimmer we know about is that Louis guy.
I reckon he did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
La, la, la.
Hi.
Hi.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm safe and I'm sound and I'm home.
I love you! I love you! I love you! Fine.
It's all fine.
Yeah.
You shut up! It's probably just a phase.
II wanted to be a nun when I was her age.
I had the brochure and everything.
Really? You would have made a fantastic nun.
Oh.
Thank you, darling.
It would have been lovely and peaceful in a convent.
All those gardens to pray in.
Hang on a sec! Hang on a second! Fizzy.
Fizzy.
This videotape recording by Jennifer is, I think, a secret message.
I feel like I've made a really big mistake.
I've never, ever felt this alone before.
And I really miss the bay breeze.
But today is a good day, because I'm excited as I approach Dina Arabi.
I can kind of feel my happiness growing maybe from about 20% to 57%.
OK, 'Bay Breeze', that's Louis' boat.
So this is a message to meet him.
Mm-hm.
Dina Arabi is the old name for Mauritius.
20, 57? 20, 57.
20 degrees latitude and 57 degrees longitude are the coordinates for the capital of Mauritius, Port Louis.
No.
Named after King Louis XV who was allergic to yoghurt.
Oh.
Yes.
Now, she docked there on February 15 last year and the date on the hospital bracelet was exactly nine months later.
Oh.
So if it was Louis, and we think it was, and then he found out that she had a child and then gave it away We need hard evidence that Louis went to meet her.
Yes.
We're not gonna be able to do this alone.
I hope this is worth me abandoning my degree.
It totally will be.
Yeah.
It's nice to do some things as a family, I think.
Hello, Louis! Hey.
Hi.
How you going? Oh, very well.
If you're here for the sailing lessons, you're a bit overdressed.
No.
No, I'm Jessica Chalmers.
I'm the Toxi-Clean regulator.
I'm here to assess the boat that was cleansed.
Is this the boat? No, no, Miss Chalmers, the boat is just there.
Louis, when we do a clean, we have to allow the the Toxi-Clean regulator.
Toxi-Clean regulator to assess our work and ensure that it is actually Cleansed.
And free of toxicity.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
Are you the owner? Uh, caretaker.
Well, can we can we get a move on because I'm a busy woman.
Righto.
I'll just get the keys.
Thank you, Louis.
Thank you.
So what do you need, 20 minutes? Yeah, 20 to 30 would be ideal.
Right.
Alright.
So we'll distract for 20 minutes.
We'll distract him in there? Do you need 30? 30 minutes? What are we gonna do for 30 minutes? I'm supposed to inspect that boat for 30 minutes? You're a Toxi-Clean regulator.
You'll do it like that.
I can't do that for five minutes.
Shut up.
Oh, thanks, Louis.
Um, Charlie, if you could take Ms Chalmers through our work, I might utilise the ladies, if you take my meaning.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
This way, please, Miss Chalmers.
Thank you, Louis, for your time.
I know it's Beautiful boat.
Yes.
Right, OK.
Well Bow, ch-ch-ch-ch, bow-bow.
Hmm.
Hmm.
The 'Beagle'.
Oh.
"Our time in Mauritius was so special "but I now know what I need to do, who I need to be.
"I'm so sorry, Louis, but I can't return to the way things were.
"Jenny.
" Ouch.
Well, I see the basic criteria has been met.
Basic criteria? Well I've seen better, Mr Buchanan.
It's actually quite grubby.
It's grubby.
Grubby there.
It's grubby back there.
But it's acceptable.
So Good.
Uh, so, I'd like to see the inventory of the articles on the yacht.
Yeah, that list's on my yacht.
I'll go grab it.
Uh, no! Don't worry about it.
It'll only take a sec.
Really, it's not necessary because Oh.
Whoa-oh.
Goodness me.
I'm sorry, I'm so unsteady on my pins, I fell over and I my left shoulder hit the button there.
Right.
I'll just go and get the inventory.
Yeah.
No.
Let me help you with that inventory! Just.
Hey.
Yep.
And we should go to I just want to run something by you.
To the office first.
The office is so important.
The manifest would be helpful, that's right.
Actually, Louis.
Louis, is it? I'm not gonna have time.
I have a 60-footer in Maidstone I've got to check out.
Oh, really? Yes.
Oh, what a pity.
It's it's rat-infested.
Disgusting, with maggots.
Are you sure it's All done.
Yes, yes.
Mr Buchanan.
Yes.
Good, but please endeavour to be better in the future.
I will and thank you for your time.
And thank you too, Louis, for your time and your assistance.
That was that was great.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Bye.
Not bad, eh? I was totally in the moment.
Are you kidding? You were fantastic.
You should chuck in the MBA and become an actress.
Did you find anything interesting? Treasure.
Oh.
He flew to Mauritius in February last year.
The baby's Louis's.
And she she dumped him and gave away their baby.
That's more than enough motivation for murder.
See? No, I told you, I can't look at it.
Just a quick squiz.
No, it's illegal.
You're illegal.
You broke into a man's boat and stole his passport.
A suspect's passport.
Who says he's a suspect? Louis was in love with her.
He travelled around the world to be with her, then she dumped him by letter, lied to him about the pregnancy, and then he lied to you.
No, that doesn't change the fact that you broke into private property, and you too.
I wasn't even there.
I was with Jess.
I was pretending to be a government regulator.
No, I don't want to know.
I He's a really strong swimmer.
We saw him in the water, didn't we, darling? He could've done it.
Why couldn't you take a photograph or or just look at it? I know.
It was a bit naughty of me.
No, it was a bit illegal.
A lot illegal.
It was beause of the horn - I got all flustered and I shoved it down my top.
I take full responsibility for the horn.
Yes, I can vouch for that horn.
He knows more than he's letting on.
You have to question him.
Yeah, well, I I am.
We are.
We're on to it.
By the way, we found the baby - with a friend of Jennifer's in Perth.
Oh, Peter, that's wonderful.
Don't leave town.
What about the passport? Shall shall I take it back? No.
No, no, no.
Um, turn it in at lost property and stay away from the marina.
And we never had this conversation.
What conversation? Who are you talking to? Peter who? You know, I think I should put the passport back.
Was it in a box or something? No, no, sweetie, I can do it.
I'm I'm going that way anyway.
Are you sure? Yeah.
No, and I want to see Alistair.
After all he's been through, he should at least know his granddaughter's OK.
OK.
Sure.
That's fine.
Oh, um, keys, 'cause I've got to go to study group and I've got to go home and change first.
Oh, yeah, sure.
So I'll pick you up when I'm done.
Oh, and, sweetie, um, there's a little surprise laid out for you on your bed when you get home.
I hope you like it.
Alright.
She is growing up, isn't she? Mmm.
II didn't even know she had her driver's licence.
Yeah.
Oh, hello.
Oh.
Hi, there! Going on a trip? Yeah.
Something like that.
Uh-huh.
Where you headed? That way, and then we'll see what happens.
Uh-huh.
OK.
With Claire? No, I'm going alone.
Oh, by yourself.
Do you want a hand loading up? Are you gonna be OK with your seasickness? Yeah.
I'll be fine.
Yeah.
Phht.
No, the distraction's good for me and if I can forget the fact that you mentioned it, I'll be absolutely fine.
Loading a couple of trolleys, I'm not gonna be too sick.
Good luck with the trip.
I'll see you soon.
Don't forget to put the thing back otherwise what's-her-name will get cranky.
I'll get in trouble.
Yeah, yeah.
So, it's a long trip, is it? Oh.
Hello.
Claire.
Hi.
I'm just have you seen Alistair anywhere? Oh, he's gone home for the day.
He's been trying out sobriety.
He's not feeling too well.
Oh, well, I guess that's a a good thing.
Actually, hey.
I was about to go out into the bay.
Do you want to come for a real sail? Oh, well, I'd love to, but no, I can't.
Oh, look, come on.
Come on.
It'll be fun.
And, look, there's a nice, easy offshore.
Actually, it'd be good practice for me before Trent and I leave.
You and Trent? Great.
Yeah.
So when did you decide this? Just a a few hours ago.
Yeah, it's gonna be really special.
Oh, look, come on.
We'll just We'll go to the buoy and back.
It'll be 20 minutes.
Yeah, OK.
Well, all squared away, shipshape and Bristol fashion.
Captain.
Thank you.
That's alright.
You know, I I I'm no good on the water but I've got to tell you, I'm pretty envious.
Yeah, well, I've got to tell you, I'm pretty nervous.
So how did Claire take the news you're going solo? Why would Claire mind? Well, Nic told me that Claire said to her that you and she were gonna go to Queensland together.
Together? With Claire? Yeah.
No.
No? Really? Alright.
Thanks, mate.
Hang on, hang on.
So II just thought you and Claire were together.
No, no, it wasn't like that.
We had a very casual arrangement, you know what I mean? Friends.
Right.
But not anymore.
No, she can be a little possessive.
You know, I sometimes think that she's the reason why Jenny and I split up.
Made it impossible.
Right.
Thanks, Trent.
Oh, wow.
I could get used to this.
I wish we could take you with us to Hamilton Island.
Um, so how how long have you and Trent been together? Eight months and two weeks.
Oh, right.
Was he with Jenny for long? I don't know.
It's over.
It's totally over.
He was never happy with her.
Everyone could see it.
So he left her? I don't remember.
Keep it straight.
So was was he upset when she went away? I said keep it straight! Mai.
Hi.
You haven't seen my wife, have you? Uh, no.
Actually, I think she might have gone for a lesson with Claire.
Claire.
It was the best thing she ever did, getting on that yacht and sailing away.
Yes, sir.
It it must have been really hard for you when she she came back back into all of your lives.
What are you implying, Nicola? Um II'm not I'm not implying anything, Claire.
Have you been talking to Trent? No.
No, no.
We just saw him when he was packing up but we didn't Did you say something to him? What did you say to him, Nicola? We we didn't say anything, Claire.
You're trying to convince him to go away without me, aren't you? 'Cause you're just like that other bitch.
You know, she she goes off like a hero and abandons all of us, me, and and Alistair and Trent and then she comes back and she makes a move on my boyfriend the very night that she returns.
You're not gonna take him away.
No, you're not.
Ah! Aah! Trent! Trent! Trent! Claire's taken Nicola out on the bay.
She's sent a flare up.
Look, you've got to take me out there.
What what's your boat? It's a an Irwin 54 Staysail ketch.
That's too slow.
We're gonna need a faster boat.
Come on, come on.
Argh! Ow! Are you alright? Ah! Oh! Aah! Hey! Darling, are you alright? Oh.
Oh, Charlie.
Darling.
You found your sea legs, sweetie.
Yeah, I've got my sea legs.
Oh, Charlie, how could I have got it so wrong? Well, she's a sociopath.
They're very difficult to identify.
My mother's a case in point.
Yeah.
Nearly ready to go? Yeah.
It'll just be a quick statement.
OK.
How are they going? They're flying over to get the baby tonight - the father and grandfather.
I'll, uh, wait for you at the car.
Good work, Charlie.
Thank you.
You know, I've been thinking.
I don't know if I'm ready to go off and see the world by myself.
I mean, maybe when I finish my MBA.
And when I move out.
Whatever you want to do is fine with us, sweetie.
Do you like your new outfit? Oh.
Yes.
Love it.
See, I told you it was just a phase.
You know, I am so glad you didn't become a nun.
Oh, darling.
For She's a jolly good fellow For she's a jolly good fellow For she's a jolly good fellow! And so say all of us.
Hip, hip! Hooray! Hip, hip! Hooray! Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip! Hooray! To all the Eskimos.
I'm not drinking that.
Yes, you are, mate.
Alright, now listen up, everybody.
Ha, ha.
A toast to Jenny! To Jenny! Alistair.
Alistair.
Jenny, darling.
Alistair, just settle down.
Come on.
Jenny! Jenny.
Dad, stop it.
I'm down.
I'm settled down.
Dad.
Dad.
I can't handle this.
You're not going.
Yeah, I am.
You're not going! Alistair.
Stop it.
Let her go.
Jenny! You're not going, Jenny.
Dad, let me go! You're not not going now.
Stop it! Let go of me! Stop it.
Let go! Jenny! Come here! Jenny! Just let it go, mate.
Let it go.
Al.
What are you looking at? Hip, hip hooray! Hi.
Our forensics just need a bit more time.
They're grabbing some samples from the boat.
Oh, right.
Great.
So we can't go on yet? No, I'm afraid.
Oh, that's good.
Do you want to call Jess, darling? No, no, no.
The tablets should kick in.
I'll be fine.
'Cause Charlie gets a little bit seasick.
We're on the pier.
I know, but it's swaying a bit, isn't it? It's swaying, darling, isn't it? Have you tried ginger? Yeah, yeah.
I tried ginger, yeah.
Actually, low level ambient noise is supposed to be good, so tell us what happened.
Jennifer Travers, 22, shot with a flare gun.
Time of death, roughly between midnight and 1:00am.
Phosphorous burning her insides.
Oh.
An awful way to go.
Yeah, at the moment we're pretty certain it was her father, Alistair.
He's being questioned as we speak.
Her father? Yeah.
They had a fairly violent argument earlier that evening, and CCTV camera caught him walking along the pier towards the boat at 11:50, leaving at 12:10.
No-one else came through.
Right.
So what did they argue about? Uh, well, we're still taking statements from witnesses, but it was supposed to be a celebration and Dad's a heavy drinker, suffers from blackouts, says he can't remember a thing.
Jennifer Travers - she's just come back from that around-the-world voyage thing.
Yeah, that's the one.
That's the one.
She followed the same route as Charles Darwin's original 'Beagle'.
Five years it took him.
It only took her one.
Wow, he must be sick.
He usually chimes in by now.
Oh, no, no, I'm fine.
Five years.
I heard you.
Actually, I just want to go back on land for a moment.
Just call call Jess, sweetie.
Yeah, I'll I'll give her a ring.
Oh, well.
I get to brief you one-on-one.
So, did the flare gun come from the boat? Yeah.
Uh, it looks like a heat-of-the-moment, first-thing-to-hand sort of crime.
So what's going on here? Uh, there was a lot of water on the deck when she was found.
What, so you're thinking the killer swam over? Maybe.
Apparently Jennifer was a swimmer so it's probably her.
No, no.
Why would she get on from this end? It doesn't make any sense.
That end's much easier and you have to be quite strong to haul yourself up here.
Though, of course, you wouldn't be captured by the security cameras over there.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we're checking that.
I can give you a hand if you like, if Charlie's not up to it.
No, no, we'll be fine.
Thanks, Pete.
Alright, boys.
Thanks.
Eugh.
Hm.
Ooh.
Hi.
Need a hand? Hi, darling.
No, we're good.
Maybe you should stay on the pier and use a very long-handled mop.
Jess, Jess, you won't get anywhere in life unless you challenge yourself.
Distraction is the key.
I mean, look at this joinery.
It's just brilliant, isn't it, really? Exquisite.
What an amazing adventure.
You should really think about doing something like this, Jess.
Logbooks are missing.
Peter probably took them.
Oh.
I see she didn't take exactly the same route as Charles Darwin.
Look, those dates are interesting as well.
Mmm.
This must be her dad.
They look really happy.
I'll just take this bag up.
Hang hang on, there's nothing in that yet.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
I was just wondering how long you were gonna be.
I am I just I just need to lie down.
Oh.
Haven't got your sea legs yet? Oh.
Took me a couple of years.
I don't think mankind was meant to float on the surface of the ocean.
It's just a theory I have.
Look, I was hoping you were going to be finished by the time Jennifer's father got back.
I don't want him to see it like this.
Jennifer's father's coming back to the boat? Yes.
Oh.
OK.
Well, we're gonna be a while.
It's gonna take a while to clean.
Would you mind if I grab Jenny's logbook? It meant a lot to her.
The police have already taken that, I think.
It's not there.
OK.
Well, if you need anything, why don't you head up to the Marine Supplies - that's us.
Send your invoice to the business address.
Thank you Mai? Chaka Khan! Think quick, sweetie.
You're looking better.
Well, distraction is the key.
II get that.
I just want you to take a look at the letters.
Yes, OK, I will.
OK.
We've got some letters from Alistair and also from Trent.
Right.
OK.
Thank you.
We'll take them into consideration.
You do that.
You guys done? Uh, yeah, just about.
So, what's the deal with Alistair's wife? Well, I'm back on land so my powers have returned.
Well, she didn't realise we had already released him.
And he didn't come home.
Alistair's been released? Yeah, for now.
We'll get another statement from him tomorrow after he sobers up.
He can't remember a thing from last night.
What are those? Jennifer's letters.
That's a few from the ex, most of them from her dad.
Mai reckons it proves that Alistair is innocent.
The ex? Uh, yeah, Trent.
He belongs to the club - runs sailing classes for Alistair.
Why did they break up? Why does anyone break up? Because people do weird things when they break up.
Look, this one doesn't need any Buchanan magic to solve, OK? The ex has an alibi and we've almost got what we need on the father.
No 'Famous Five' stuff, OK? Famous five? "Woof," said Timmy? Woof! Do you want to turn on the hydroxyl generator 'cause you've never done it before? Yes, please, I'm dying to.
Great.
Well, knock yourself out, kid.
Remember, you've got to set it to 6, and make sure the extraction vent's pointed away from your face.
Janine tried it once.
She got too close - almost ripped her lip off.
Well, it's the danger that makes it exciting.
Mmm.
So.
Oh, she's growing up, isn't she? Certainly is.
How old is she now, anyway in Earth-years, do you think? Sorry, I Is it OK if we put these on the deck? Oh, God! Of course.
Thanks.
I'm I'm Claire.
That's that's Trent.
It's not often you get that kind of kindness from the police.
Oh, no, actually, we're not the police.
No, we're, um, we're the cleaners.
Oh.
He was no worse than usual.
And he loved Jenny.
He wouldn't Alistair's kind of like my own father.
Do you know what they were fighting about? Claire.
I've got to reschedule the lessons for tomorrow.
So why don't you take a taxi home, huh? I'll finish up here.
Bbye.
Wow.
Hmm.
An awful lot of people seem to passionately believe that Alistair couldn't have done it.
Why don't we pay a visit to Beach Haven Marine Supplies? Hmm.
Proprietors Alistair and Mai Travers.
Ba-ba-ba-ta ba-bow! Ba-bow! Well pressed the button.
It was like a dream that wouldn't end.
Great.
What's happening? Nothing.
Nothing.
Where are you going? What are you doing? Nothing.
We're not doing anything.
Just the invoicing.
Just doing the invoices.
It's boring.
Administrative.
Nothing.
You're not interested.
Hello? Hello! - Hello? - We're closed.
Oh.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Sorry, we're not actually customers.
We're the the cleaners.
We're still closed.
We just wanted to drop off our invoice.
So.
Just there.
Personal touch.
You don't get that a lot these days.
We're very sorry about your daughter.
Yeah, we have a niece about the same age.
Yeah.
Oi.
Oh, um.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's very nice of you.
Whoa.
We Cheers.
Jennifer.
Jennifer.
Whoa.
Don't feel obliged.
I'll have 'em if you don't.
Oh, no, we Lovely.
Thank you.
Thanks.
So that's that's from Jenny's trip.
That's a web thingy they made her do for the sponsorship deals, you know, weekly updates, videos, sort of things.
That's a great photo.
I love it.
That's the, uh essence of Jenny.
She thought she looked fat.
She liked it enough to put it up in her cabin.
No.
No, not that one, love.
Must be a different photo.
She's There's just that one.
Oh, and and this one which is Oh.
Meant to give that to her last night.
To apologise.
What happened? I, uh I can't bloody remember.
Perhaps Jenny didn't accept the apology and things got ugly.
No.
No, if Jenny rejected the apology, why would she put up that photo? Well, what makes you think she put it up? Whoever did kill Jenny didn't use the pier, though, 'cause if they did, they would have been seen by that camera that captured Alistair.
It's one big bag of strangeness, Charlie.
They they're house keys, darling.
Are they? Mmm.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I don't think either of us should be driving after that rum.
Chaka Khan? Mmm? You look nice.
You look nice, too.
Mmm? Hi, guys.
Oh, my gosh, the islands here are so amazing.
I just had no idea See, sweetie, the photograph of Jennifer and Alistair isn't up during the trip at all.
But it is now.
I think Alistair's telling the truth.
I think I'm gonna put my MBA on hold and go travelling.
What do you think? Whatever you want to do, sweetie.
Yeah, Jess.
There's only so much you can learn about the world from books.
Oh, is that the girl? Mmm.
Yep.
She single-handedly sailed around the world.
It's pretty amazing.
I've never, ever felt this alone before.
And I really miss the bay breeze.
I don't think I could handle the solitude.
You spend a lot of time in your room by yourself.
No.
No, I sneak out a lot.
What's this on her face, do you think? Shaving cut? You should try hitchhiking through Russia.
That'd be fascinating.
I'd love to do that.
Wow.
Rio is even more beautiful than what I thought.
It's It's magical.
When I sailed in and the sun rose up behind Christ the Redeemer it was breathtaking.
That cut's still there.
That can't be right.
No.
Look.
Darling, no, no The Christ the Redeemer statue.
It's built to face the rising sun.
You can't rise the sun behind it.
You wouldn't get that wrong if you were actually there.
Whoo! Oh, I think She's lying alright.
And not just about Christ the Redeemer.
Teeming.
This is a dream come true.
These videos are fake.
I've waited my whole life for this.
Hey.
Did you watch the videos? Most of the night.
So they're fakes, aren't they? Some of them, yeah.
According to the date on those videos, that scratch on her face was there for six months.
And her hair never changes or grows.
Do you want to order something? They get funny here if you don't.
II'm fine, thanks.
Could we get a couple of rum balls? Thanks.
OK, um, yes, she probably didn't go where she said she went.
You asked for this.
Thank you.
You didn't get it from me.
OK.
Is that the logbook from the case? Yeah.
Fantastic.
Thank you, Peter.
Charlie.
Um, if anything, it gives Alistair more motive to kill her.
How so? Well, she had a pretty big sponsorship deal if she completed the voyage, but Alistair's company underwrote the initial cost so if the sponsors found out she was faking it, he'd lose a lot of money.
What about the ex-boyfriend, Trent? He's mentioned a few times.
Yeah.
And a dozen other people.
Ah-ha, I see what - St Helena.
This is where she comes unstuck in my view.
Mauritius to Madagascar, she makes pretty average progress.
Madagascar to Durban to Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, or Kapstadt as it's known in Afrikaans - very, very slow.
But then she hits St Helena - named after St Helena of Constantinople, and discovered by the Portuguese in 1503.
To get to the South Atlantic at that speed, she must have been behind the wheel of Douglas Campbell's 'Bluebird'.
I mean, in the winter months, fair enough, but in the summer when the trade winds are at their weakest, no freakin' way.
Ah.
Yeah, that that's exactly our thinking, yeah.
So she must have wanted someone to think she was somewhere she wasn't.
Frightened by the angry ex-boyfriend? Or father, who paid for the trip.
Or the angry ex-boyfriend.
Mmm.
Yeah.
I'll check the ports.
Where are you off to? Uh, some sailing lessons.
Sailing lessons.
Thank you.
Maybe she was scared of Trent.
He seemed quite intense yesterday, don't you think? It was quite odd.
Yeah, but he's got an alibi.
Yeah.
Alibi-schmalibi.
Yeah, good point.
I hadn't considered that.
Can I help you? Oh, hi.
Um We were looking for the lessons.
Uh, Trent's down by the pier.
He's taking a lesson with Claire.
Oh, good.
Good.
Have you been swimming in the bay? I didn't even know that was legal.
Well, not advisable, but it keeps me fit.
Very good.
Well, sorry, what was your name? Louis.
Louis.
Thanks for your help, Louis.
Thanks.
Can you just grab on to the lifeline? OK.
Great.
Are you OK? Uh You look a bit peaky.
Seasick? I'm Yeah, a little.
A little, yeah.
My advice, squid in brine.
Really? Sounds pretty rough, but you'll find it's hair of the dog.
I think I'd prefer hair of the dog.
That thing you're playing with, Charlie, is called a cam cleat or a jam cleat.
Right.
Never leave it released 'cause under full sail Right.
You should know how dangerous it is.
No, no, that'll come in very handy one day, I'm sure.
I'll show you how to operate the tailing winch.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh You guys make a really good team.
We've um been talking about doing a trip, like maybe up to Hamilton Island.
Oh, sounds serious.
It's been eight months and two weeks.
Oh, right.
What? Oh, nothing.
No.
What? Just Trent and Jennifer, were were they? Trent and Jenny were over, like, a long time ago, like, before she left.
Right.
Oh.
What on earth gave you that idea? II don't know.
I'm sorry, just I'd heard Stupid.
They were just meant to be friends, but we're much more than that.
But we were still her allies.
Allies.
So who was the enemy? Well, in Jenny's mind, Mai.
Mai, Alistair's wife, Mai? Mmm.
More like a wicked stepmother.
She got Alistair's power of attorney about the same time that Jenny left.
Mm-hm.
Because Alistair was you know.
I'm telling you, Charlie - it's like she's under Trent's spell.
She couldn't stop checking to see if he was listening.
I think she knows something.
What about you? Did you find out anything? Are you alright? Look, it was rough out there but, you know, I I held it together.
I only had to eat three squid.
Oh, darling.
Are you sure you want to do the actual sailing part? Would it involve any more than we we did on the Well, we'd probably have to leave the harbour.
Right, you you relax.
I'll get the hydroxyl generator.
No, you know, if I'm gonna beat this thing, I'm gonna have to grow some sea legs.
Oh, no, darling, darling, distraction's the key.
Distraction.
Distraction.
OK, Claire.
Claire seemed very definite about Trent and Jennifer being over.
But what if Trent didn't think so? What if he's desperately waiting for Jennifer to return and then when she does, she she rejects him again? No, I think No, no, no.
Stay there.
OK.
Um, senses.
Other senses? Smell.
OK.
- Smell that.
Mmm.
- Yep, that's good.
That's a good distraction.
Look at the joinery.
Look at the Noise.
Up, down, up, down.
Wait a minute.
The sun the sunlight is different than it was See, that's weird.
That's a that's a false bottom.
Sorry.
Darling.
It's a smuggler's hold, I think.
20 kilos of Columbian spliff in here.
Hello.
And good evening.
Care for a sandwich? I think I would.
Charlie, a hospital ID bracelet.
She wasn't alone.
That's why she faked the videos.
She had a baby.
Lucy Travers.
A name and a date and no name of the hospital.
Yeah, I can read.
Thanks, Charlie.
It would help us explain why she faked her videos.
Yes.
The birth was 11 months after she left here.
So the solo voyage technically not solo.
Which wouldn't sit so well with the boyfriend she left behind.
Ex-boyfriend.
What if Trent was waiting for Jennifer to come home and then when she finally did, he finds out she had a baby with someone else.
You know, he could've gone crazy - swum over to the boat to avoid the cameras and killed her.
We're gonna have to talk to everyone again.
Still keeps Alistair firmly in the frame though.
He's her father.
What what about the baby Lucy? We'll check the hospitals and adoption centres but where do you start? There must be a thousand possible places she could have had that baby.
Millions.
Billions.
Alright, I'll check it out.
It's not Alistair - there's no way.
But his amnesia means he can't deny he did it or admit it if he did.
Maybe we could help him with his amnesia.
A dysfunctional hippocampus and limbic system makes the brain one of the most difficult organs to stimulate.
We can't just hit him on the head with a shovel.
No, Nic.
No.
Alistair.
Hi.
We just wanted to have a quick talk with you.
Just wanted to ask you some questions about the night that Jenny came home.
When when she sailed into port, do you remember if she was wearing a life vest? What? Yeah, I s'pose.
What else was she wearing? It's it's important.
She was, um, done up - all done up.
Um, make-up, dress, etc.
Irritated me.
And who greeted her first? I don't know where you're going with all this stuff Alistair, just just trust us.
I did.
And she was wearing make-up? Yeah.
And, um perfume.
Was it this? Yeah.
Yeah.
When did you next smell it? It was on the wharf, after the speeches, then then on her boat, um We hugged.
I I smelt it.
I I gave her the photo.
Then, um, she smiled.
Then I went to to a dive bar in the city, the Duncan, I think.
I did.
That's I went I went to the Duncan.
That that's a 24-hour joint.
I couldn't have killed her.
I was happy.
I You know, Jenny's back.
She's she had a b A baby.
OK, great.
Thanks, Pete.
Bye.
Sweetie? Yes, darling? Good news or the bad news? Um, well, mix them together so I can't tell.
OK.
It's all legit.
Alistair was at the Duncan just like he said.
He's got loads of happy witnesses given he was shouting drinks until dawn - a lot of drinks apparently.
See? Alcohol can be a good thing.
I know.
Yeah.
And Trent can't swim.
He teaches sailing.
I know, but with Alistair out of the picture, the police realised the killer had to have swum to the boat.
They questioned Trent and he can't swim a stroke.
I s'pose Lord Nelson couldn't swim.
He can't be the father of the baby either.
He doesn't even have a passport.
He can't have gone to see Jenny.
Well, she couldn't have sailed back here to Australia - given we know where she did get to, that would be impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Yeah.
Well, I'm off to expand my horizons.
The university's temperance society's doing a nothing and cheese night.
So don't wait up.
I might make her a little outfit, you know, something a little bit more cheerful.
That'd be nice.
A lovely idea.
Beautiful.
So, any luck finding out where baby Lucy was born? Oh, well, given most of the videos are recorded below deck, even the ones that might be real don't give away her position.
So if she faked parts of the trip that's the end of the sponsorship deal.
Dad would have ended up paying the bill.
Yeah, I wonder how his young wife felt about that? It says on the door they're open.
Yeah.
Alright, sweetie, I think now might be a good time for me to have a little look-see.
Oh, yeah.
Sure, sure.
And you'll, um keep an eye on things down here.
Absolutely.
Yep.
I'll I'll keep guard.
Honey, honey sweetie, just make sure you put everything back the way it was 'cause they can tell if anything's out of order - anything Oh.
What are you doing? Hello, Mai.
How are you? Lovely to see you again.
Charlie.
We met at the pier.
And this is my my beautiful wife, Nicola.
Hello.
Oh, darling.
Hello.
What are you doing? Uh Um, uh, we just dropped in to About the invoice.
.
.
to get an estimate.
About when you might be able to pay.
On an invoice that you handed in, what, yesterday at the earliest? Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's the that's the one.
So, you clean for the police? Are you investigating for them too? Um What am I? The wicked stepmother? Been talking to Claire have you? Well, Nicola Or is it because I look after Alistair's bookkeeping and we stand to lose everything because of that silly girl of his? Both? This place has been running at a loss long before Alistair and I got together.
We live off my money and my investments.
OK? Right.
I don't know who killed Jennifer.
And I can't even guess.
But I know it wasn't Alistair, and I'm damned sure it wasn't me.
II was so sure it was her.
I feel terrible.
Well, whoever it was who killed Jenny couldn't have walked past that camera.
No more jumping to conclusions, Charlie.
I mean it.
So whoever it was must have swum.
Well, the only really good swimmer we know about is that Louis guy.
I reckon he did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
La, la, la.
Hi.
Hi.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm safe and I'm sound and I'm home.
I love you! I love you! I love you! Fine.
It's all fine.
Yeah.
You shut up! It's probably just a phase.
II wanted to be a nun when I was her age.
I had the brochure and everything.
Really? You would have made a fantastic nun.
Oh.
Thank you, darling.
It would have been lovely and peaceful in a convent.
All those gardens to pray in.
Hang on a sec! Hang on a second! Fizzy.
Fizzy.
This videotape recording by Jennifer is, I think, a secret message.
I feel like I've made a really big mistake.
I've never, ever felt this alone before.
And I really miss the bay breeze.
But today is a good day, because I'm excited as I approach Dina Arabi.
I can kind of feel my happiness growing maybe from about 20% to 57%.
OK, 'Bay Breeze', that's Louis' boat.
So this is a message to meet him.
Mm-hm.
Dina Arabi is the old name for Mauritius.
20, 57? 20, 57.
20 degrees latitude and 57 degrees longitude are the coordinates for the capital of Mauritius, Port Louis.
No.
Named after King Louis XV who was allergic to yoghurt.
Oh.
Yes.
Now, she docked there on February 15 last year and the date on the hospital bracelet was exactly nine months later.
Oh.
So if it was Louis, and we think it was, and then he found out that she had a child and then gave it away We need hard evidence that Louis went to meet her.
Yes.
We're not gonna be able to do this alone.
I hope this is worth me abandoning my degree.
It totally will be.
Yeah.
It's nice to do some things as a family, I think.
Hello, Louis! Hey.
Hi.
How you going? Oh, very well.
If you're here for the sailing lessons, you're a bit overdressed.
No.
No, I'm Jessica Chalmers.
I'm the Toxi-Clean regulator.
I'm here to assess the boat that was cleansed.
Is this the boat? No, no, Miss Chalmers, the boat is just there.
Louis, when we do a clean, we have to allow the the Toxi-Clean regulator.
Toxi-Clean regulator to assess our work and ensure that it is actually Cleansed.
And free of toxicity.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
Are you the owner? Uh, caretaker.
Well, can we can we get a move on because I'm a busy woman.
Righto.
I'll just get the keys.
Thank you, Louis.
Thank you.
So what do you need, 20 minutes? Yeah, 20 to 30 would be ideal.
Right.
Alright.
So we'll distract for 20 minutes.
We'll distract him in there? Do you need 30? 30 minutes? What are we gonna do for 30 minutes? I'm supposed to inspect that boat for 30 minutes? You're a Toxi-Clean regulator.
You'll do it like that.
I can't do that for five minutes.
Shut up.
Oh, thanks, Louis.
Um, Charlie, if you could take Ms Chalmers through our work, I might utilise the ladies, if you take my meaning.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
This way, please, Miss Chalmers.
Thank you, Louis, for your time.
I know it's Beautiful boat.
Yes.
Right, OK.
Well Bow, ch-ch-ch-ch, bow-bow.
Hmm.
Hmm.
The 'Beagle'.
Oh.
"Our time in Mauritius was so special "but I now know what I need to do, who I need to be.
"I'm so sorry, Louis, but I can't return to the way things were.
"Jenny.
" Ouch.
Well, I see the basic criteria has been met.
Basic criteria? Well I've seen better, Mr Buchanan.
It's actually quite grubby.
It's grubby.
Grubby there.
It's grubby back there.
But it's acceptable.
So Good.
Uh, so, I'd like to see the inventory of the articles on the yacht.
Yeah, that list's on my yacht.
I'll go grab it.
Uh, no! Don't worry about it.
It'll only take a sec.
Really, it's not necessary because Oh.
Whoa-oh.
Goodness me.
I'm sorry, I'm so unsteady on my pins, I fell over and I my left shoulder hit the button there.
Right.
I'll just go and get the inventory.
Yeah.
No.
Let me help you with that inventory! Just.
Hey.
Yep.
And we should go to I just want to run something by you.
To the office first.
The office is so important.
The manifest would be helpful, that's right.
Actually, Louis.
Louis, is it? I'm not gonna have time.
I have a 60-footer in Maidstone I've got to check out.
Oh, really? Yes.
Oh, what a pity.
It's it's rat-infested.
Disgusting, with maggots.
Are you sure it's All done.
Yes, yes.
Mr Buchanan.
Yes.
Good, but please endeavour to be better in the future.
I will and thank you for your time.
And thank you too, Louis, for your time and your assistance.
That was that was great.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Bye.
Not bad, eh? I was totally in the moment.
Are you kidding? You were fantastic.
You should chuck in the MBA and become an actress.
Did you find anything interesting? Treasure.
Oh.
He flew to Mauritius in February last year.
The baby's Louis's.
And she she dumped him and gave away their baby.
That's more than enough motivation for murder.
See? No, I told you, I can't look at it.
Just a quick squiz.
No, it's illegal.
You're illegal.
You broke into a man's boat and stole his passport.
A suspect's passport.
Who says he's a suspect? Louis was in love with her.
He travelled around the world to be with her, then she dumped him by letter, lied to him about the pregnancy, and then he lied to you.
No, that doesn't change the fact that you broke into private property, and you too.
I wasn't even there.
I was with Jess.
I was pretending to be a government regulator.
No, I don't want to know.
I He's a really strong swimmer.
We saw him in the water, didn't we, darling? He could've done it.
Why couldn't you take a photograph or or just look at it? I know.
It was a bit naughty of me.
No, it was a bit illegal.
A lot illegal.
It was beause of the horn - I got all flustered and I shoved it down my top.
I take full responsibility for the horn.
Yes, I can vouch for that horn.
He knows more than he's letting on.
You have to question him.
Yeah, well, I I am.
We are.
We're on to it.
By the way, we found the baby - with a friend of Jennifer's in Perth.
Oh, Peter, that's wonderful.
Don't leave town.
What about the passport? Shall shall I take it back? No.
No, no, no.
Um, turn it in at lost property and stay away from the marina.
And we never had this conversation.
What conversation? Who are you talking to? Peter who? You know, I think I should put the passport back.
Was it in a box or something? No, no, sweetie, I can do it.
I'm I'm going that way anyway.
Are you sure? Yeah.
No, and I want to see Alistair.
After all he's been through, he should at least know his granddaughter's OK.
OK.
Sure.
That's fine.
Oh, um, keys, 'cause I've got to go to study group and I've got to go home and change first.
Oh, yeah, sure.
So I'll pick you up when I'm done.
Oh, and, sweetie, um, there's a little surprise laid out for you on your bed when you get home.
I hope you like it.
Alright.
She is growing up, isn't she? Mmm.
II didn't even know she had her driver's licence.
Yeah.
Oh, hello.
Oh.
Hi, there! Going on a trip? Yeah.
Something like that.
Uh-huh.
Where you headed? That way, and then we'll see what happens.
Uh-huh.
OK.
With Claire? No, I'm going alone.
Oh, by yourself.
Do you want a hand loading up? Are you gonna be OK with your seasickness? Yeah.
I'll be fine.
Yeah.
Phht.
No, the distraction's good for me and if I can forget the fact that you mentioned it, I'll be absolutely fine.
Loading a couple of trolleys, I'm not gonna be too sick.
Good luck with the trip.
I'll see you soon.
Don't forget to put the thing back otherwise what's-her-name will get cranky.
I'll get in trouble.
Yeah, yeah.
So, it's a long trip, is it? Oh.
Hello.
Claire.
Hi.
I'm just have you seen Alistair anywhere? Oh, he's gone home for the day.
He's been trying out sobriety.
He's not feeling too well.
Oh, well, I guess that's a a good thing.
Actually, hey.
I was about to go out into the bay.
Do you want to come for a real sail? Oh, well, I'd love to, but no, I can't.
Oh, look, come on.
Come on.
It'll be fun.
And, look, there's a nice, easy offshore.
Actually, it'd be good practice for me before Trent and I leave.
You and Trent? Great.
Yeah.
So when did you decide this? Just a a few hours ago.
Yeah, it's gonna be really special.
Oh, look, come on.
We'll just We'll go to the buoy and back.
It'll be 20 minutes.
Yeah, OK.
Well, all squared away, shipshape and Bristol fashion.
Captain.
Thank you.
That's alright.
You know, I I I'm no good on the water but I've got to tell you, I'm pretty envious.
Yeah, well, I've got to tell you, I'm pretty nervous.
So how did Claire take the news you're going solo? Why would Claire mind? Well, Nic told me that Claire said to her that you and she were gonna go to Queensland together.
Together? With Claire? Yeah.
No.
No? Really? Alright.
Thanks, mate.
Hang on, hang on.
So II just thought you and Claire were together.
No, no, it wasn't like that.
We had a very casual arrangement, you know what I mean? Friends.
Right.
But not anymore.
No, she can be a little possessive.
You know, I sometimes think that she's the reason why Jenny and I split up.
Made it impossible.
Right.
Thanks, Trent.
Oh, wow.
I could get used to this.
I wish we could take you with us to Hamilton Island.
Um, so how how long have you and Trent been together? Eight months and two weeks.
Oh, right.
Was he with Jenny for long? I don't know.
It's over.
It's totally over.
He was never happy with her.
Everyone could see it.
So he left her? I don't remember.
Keep it straight.
So was was he upset when she went away? I said keep it straight! Mai.
Hi.
You haven't seen my wife, have you? Uh, no.
Actually, I think she might have gone for a lesson with Claire.
Claire.
It was the best thing she ever did, getting on that yacht and sailing away.
Yes, sir.
It it must have been really hard for you when she she came back back into all of your lives.
What are you implying, Nicola? Um II'm not I'm not implying anything, Claire.
Have you been talking to Trent? No.
No, no.
We just saw him when he was packing up but we didn't Did you say something to him? What did you say to him, Nicola? We we didn't say anything, Claire.
You're trying to convince him to go away without me, aren't you? 'Cause you're just like that other bitch.
You know, she she goes off like a hero and abandons all of us, me, and and Alistair and Trent and then she comes back and she makes a move on my boyfriend the very night that she returns.
You're not gonna take him away.
No, you're not.
Ah! Aah! Trent! Trent! Trent! Claire's taken Nicola out on the bay.
She's sent a flare up.
Look, you've got to take me out there.
What what's your boat? It's a an Irwin 54 Staysail ketch.
That's too slow.
We're gonna need a faster boat.
Come on, come on.
Argh! Ow! Are you alright? Ah! Oh! Aah! Hey! Darling, are you alright? Oh.
Oh, Charlie.
Darling.
You found your sea legs, sweetie.
Yeah, I've got my sea legs.
Oh, Charlie, how could I have got it so wrong? Well, she's a sociopath.
They're very difficult to identify.
My mother's a case in point.
Yeah.
Nearly ready to go? Yeah.
It'll just be a quick statement.
OK.
How are they going? They're flying over to get the baby tonight - the father and grandfather.
I'll, uh, wait for you at the car.
Good work, Charlie.
Thank you.
You know, I've been thinking.
I don't know if I'm ready to go off and see the world by myself.
I mean, maybe when I finish my MBA.
And when I move out.
Whatever you want to do is fine with us, sweetie.
Do you like your new outfit? Oh.
Yes.
Love it.
See, I told you it was just a phase.
You know, I am so glad you didn't become a nun.
Oh, darling.
