My Life Is Murder (2019) s02e02 Episode Script

1
Oi!
Front door wide open,
air conditioning on.
Is this your personal contribution
to the destruction of
humanity this weekend?
Thank you.
Water.
Thank you.
Thought you Aussies
could handle the heat.
By the way, I'm a dual citizen,
and I think the word you're looking for
is 'suffocating tropical blanket.'
You're welcome.
Now, before you say anything,
the only
thing I'm planning on doing this weekend
is spending some quality time
in a
dark room with a wet towel on my head.
Good for you.
Not so great for Rory Byrne.
- Who's he when he's at home?
- He's not at home any more. He's dead.
Champion surfer.
He died three weeks ago when
he was out for his regular training.
Shark attack?
Suspected drowning
due to a heart attack.
Coroner's theory is
sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.
- You know, that's really rare in adults.
- Mm.
His girlfriend said he had
tachycardia on and off for about a year,
backed up by his doctor's notes.
Well, then that sounds like
a pretty solid theory to me.
You familiar with Piha Beach?
Heard of it. Come on.
It was a pretty big
sea when he went out,
but he is capable and extremely
familiar with the area.
- How big?
- It was a messy 3m swell.
He got into trouble pretty quickly
paddled straight out into a rip.
I wonder if he had a heart attack before
or after he came off his board.
- Here. Take a look.
- Thank you very much.
There was an attempted rescue by a
local surf lifesaver, Craig Ashford.
He was at work an hour early
that morning.
Who comes to workthatearly?
Craig claims he got out
there as soon as he could,
but then couldn't get to Rory
and then lost sight of him
and then claims he was forced
to give up.
'Claims'? Sounds like
you don't believe him.
He was Rory's arch rival at the national
championships.
Last year, Rory beat him by a sliver.
- You think he let Rory drown?
- Or caused him to.
There's no question Craig has a motive.
- Maybe he's just a crap lifesaver.
- Well, he's not.
He's pulled 12 people out
of the water this summer alone.
Damn, I love a
good old-fashioned rivalry.
How long before the body was recovered?
- Maybe 20 hours all up.
- Oof.
The weather really packed in,
so all sea and air rescue was suspended.
Judging by surface scratches, we
assume he got trapped in some rocks.
The body washed up on the south end.
Old geezer found him.
- Labs?
- Clean.
Nothing of interest on the body apart
from some surf wax in his pockets.
Any evidence of injuries
before he went in the water?
Nada.
- Well, you don't have much.
- Why are you still digging?
Rory's dad's a friend of mine
taught me how to surf.
I think something's not right.
You know, I just don't care
for the beach. Sorry.
Rory had a girlfriend Soraya.
She's 12 weeks' pregnant.
I want to make sure
we've got this right.
This baby deserves to know
what really happened to Dad.
Race you to the bottom?
You shouldn't make a habit of going
to kids' water parks
in your spare time.
You're a grown-up now.
If you'd even consider
getting an air conditioner,
then I wouldn't be
riding hydroslides with kids
who think it's fun to block the exit
when you're going 50 miles an hour.
Yeah, yeah. Play the movie.
- OK, here we go.
- Rory and Soraya.
This video is brought to you
by Soraya Wellness Products.
Feel stronger. Feel younger.
Feel more alive.
Oh, yeah.
- Namaste, babe.
- Namaste, angel.
What is this?
Welcome to your special time
a morning workout with me,
national surf champion Rory Byrne.
And me, influencer and model Soraya.
How's your protein fix?
Mm. I'm not gonna lie
my low-calorie,
high-collagen smoothie is delicious.
Mm.
BT dubs, I love your
morning chakra choice.
- Mm. It's pretty mega.
- Thanks for designing it, babe.
You too can totally
embrace your morning sun god.
Just check out my Insta or the website.
So many people, so little taste.
Technically, no one's following Rory
anymore,
but Soraya's sitting on a million.
She had an uptake in
the last three weeks of 340,000.
- Yeah, death's great for business.
- It's not fair.
You get to go to the beach
while I'm stuck in here
with this stupid moon boot on.
- Oh, come on. Beach is overrated.
- What?!
So you're a cop who's not a cop?
Yeah, well,
don't sweat the technicalities.
Well, I got taught pretty young
not to talk to strangers.
Oh, come on. I'm just a
well-meaning, concerned citizen
questioning the skills of those
who are entrusted to save us.
Meaning?
Well, meaning when you
don't save someone who's drowning
right out in front of your own club,
then the locals have a right
to know why.
They already know why.
The surf was too big. He had a heart
attack and I couldn't get to him.
Well, that must have been
tough on a hardcore clubbie like you.
Can't win 'em all.
Oh, is that what you
thought after losing to Rory
at the Nationals last year?
Why did it take you so
long to get out to him that morning?
I wasn't even meant to be here.
But you were.
You know,
the cops would be thanking me for trying
instead of making me out to be
some sort of bad dude.
He didn't say something smart-arse
to you that made you angry
so that when you got out there,
you thought,
'Oh, stuff it. I'll just let
him sort himself out?'
I already told you
I couldn't get to him in time.
- Did you go to the funeral?
- No.
- Why not?
- What's your deal?
No deal. I'm just curious.
Look, I might not have liked the guy,
but
I still did my best to try and save him.
You know the way out.
- Well, what do you mean?
- Is she a cop or not?
- Well, what did she want?
- Kia or a!
Soraya, do you have a minute?
You've got too much internal hate.
I can see it in your pores.
- Thank you!
- Mm.
Doing business must be pretty difficult
right now
with everything that's going on.
We were a day away from Rory signing
off on a deal
with a brewery in Japan.
They were going to make the
announcement after he won the Nationals.
It was going to be huge.
He was so excited.
- That's tough. I'm sorry.
- Don't be. I broke a double on it.
We're now doing a Memorial Legend brand.
You know,
a lot of women in your position
wouldn't be holding it
together quite so well.
You mean because I'm pregnant?
No, because you're a widow.
What can I say?
Make lemonade out of lemons.
I really hope the baby has his eyes.
Hi. Sorry, I don't know who
you gave you our address.
Did someone on the beach tell you or
something?
But this is not a store.
If you looking for our
clearance products,
you can go to our outlet.
It's just Info's on ourwebsite.
Eden, she's a cop.
Well, I'm not big on labels,
so let's
just run with police consultant. Hello.
It's just we're crazy busy organising
this shoot and Rory's memorial.
Maybe if you could come back
at a more convenient time?
No, let's just get this
over and done with now.
Go call Nigel and tell him if he's
got a problem with iridescent beads,
he's got a problem with me.
- Understood?
- Yes.
Wow. You run a really tight ship.
Don't mind my sister.
She's overprotective.
Tell me he's got my beads.
- Nigel!
- Can I go to the bathroom?
- It's just down
- No, no, no, no, no. I speak, you listen.
- Just calm your farm, all right?
- It's not life or death.
What I'm seeing is you're
incompetence is embarrassing!
I am a multi-million
dollar label, and right
No.
No, Nigel, I do not care.
For God's sakes, can someone
please help me get one thing done?
What am I paying you all for?
Soraya, it'll be fine to pay for it.
No, it won't.
I didn't get to where
I am today by settling for mediocrity.
Don't forget I
need him to stretch his third shot of me
in the red wild bikini.
I looked like a gargoyle.
Hey, I'll just leave it to it, OK?
Only you were down on the beach
when Rory went out, weren't you?
Uh, yeah. I run the coffee and
merchandise cart outside the surf club.
Was he agitated or unwell in any way?
No, he seemed fine.
Did you notice when he got
in trouble out in the water?
Only when Craig showed up and ran in.
Well, what exactly did you see?
Not a lot, honestly. The swell was huge.
I figured it had
something to do with Rory
because he was the only one out there.
So why did it take you
30 minutes to call the police?
I just assumed he'd be OK.
I mean, he
had his board and Craig was saving him.
Yeah, and who doesn't
Craig save, really?
Rory couldn't have been any more
unlucky if he tried.
Just the wrong weather, wrong place,
wrong guy.
You downloaded all this
without my help? I'm impressed.
Oh, yeah. I mastered clicking
and dragging a long time ago.
Can I have one?
Nah, sorry. There's only one.
Do we really have to work out here?
- Well, it's cooler than in there.
- Was it nice at the beach?
It was a beach.
Yeah, but beautiful,
right? I've seen pictures.
Just tell me what's in there.
Five years of fully legitimate personal
life and accounting.
It's all meticulous.
Did her boyfriend have life insurance?
No, it doesn't look like it.
An extreme sportsman;
Premiums would have been crazy.
Mm. Wow. She was
way more liquid than he was,
and kind of generous
for letting him be
an equity shareholder in the company.
Interesting.
There was an app on Rory's
watch that monitored his energy,
breathing, and heart rate.
An app that fed data
back to the home computer.
Yep. All his vital signs went nuts about
three minutes
after he went into the water,
which matches with what
the coroner's report says.
Rory was wearing a watch
when he went into the water.
Yeah, I just told you that.
But not when his body was found.
Where did it go?
Cut! Take two, everybody.
Oh, I like that one.
It looks waterproof.
Mm. Calling is really
preferable to stalking.
- I told her we were here.
- What the hell is wrong with you?
The sooner this is done, the sooner we
can move on.
Isn't that what you want?
I am really trying my best, but my God,
I am really being challenged by Gaia.
- Can you fix this, Eden?
- Yes.
It's It's too tight.
So there was a small bag of personal
effects of Rory's
that the police gave you.
So what?
- Was Rory's watch in it?
- I don't know. I never opened it.
When I got home from the hospital,
there was a cop outside my
house with a bag of his stuff.
I was in shock. I
I don't even know where I put it.
Hospital.
That's where I was the night
before he died,
and I'd appreciate it if you
treated that as confidential.
Why?
My boyfriend's memorial
is later on this afternoon.
Do you think I could make that my
focus before I make you my priority?
Back to work!
She's been suffering from
really bad hyperemesis gravidarum.
Extreme morning sickness.
Yeah.
Oh, and she sells a product
which claims to cure it. So, yeah.
Eden!
OK, so what's his missing watch
got to do with how he died?
I don't know, but it's interesting.
- Is it?
- I think it is.
Hey!
What is wrong with you young people?
Shut the door!
You know, for someone who
doesn't believe in air conditioning,
you sure picked a good spot here.
All the other places were taken.
Two gelato?
- Oh, Reuben.
- Lots of compliments on your bread today.
- How many?
- Did you want me to start counting?
Yeah, that'd be good.
The watch wasn't in
Rory's personal effects.
Who pinches a watch from a corpse?
Lemon and chocolate? Are you insane?
Maybe the watch came off his wrist
somehow;
Got carried away in the tide.
Nah, because the swelling from edema
would make the watch harder to come off,
not easier.
Plus, it kept pinging until up to
an hour before the body was found.
What, when the battery died?
I guess so. Do you mind?
Mmm. I think I prefer yours.
Yeah, because it's pistachios
God's gift to gelato.
Me and my brother used to jump
the fence of our neighbour's orchard
and pinch his pistachios
when we were on holiday.
You get away with that?
You'd be surprised
what I can get away with.
So you think Craig took the watch?
Maybe.
How would that give him a
clear run in the surfing champs?
If that was his motive.
Rory's girlfriend and Craig Ashford
have got matching tats.
- OK. That's interesting.
- Doesn't explain the missing watch, though.
If Craig took the watch,
how did he know
where Rory's body was going to wash up?
You're absolutely right.
You can have that.
Right about what?
When was the last time
Rory's watch account was accessed?
Two hours after he went into the water,
then eight more times after that.
And the vital signs app on his watch
is that linked to any other devices?
- No. Just the home computer.
- So whoever did the accessing
was in the home in the
20 hours after Rory died.
100%.
When did they last go looking?
Two hours before the body was found.
Well, someone really
wanted to find that watch.
Mm-hmm.
- Mm, this is weird.
- What?
The watch has been turned on.
Where is it?
It's time to say goodbye, Rory.
Time for us to send you on your
final ride to Surf Valhalla, my love.
We
We didn't have a long time.
What was made together in life
will continue on.
We love you, Rory.
Shut up. He wouldn't want you here.
Just go!
- OK, I'm here. Where do I go?
- Keep moving that way.
- How far?
- It's hard to tell exactly. Not far.
- How was the memorial?
- Stylish.
Am I close?
Yeah, pretty close now.
Are you still there?
Alexa?
Hello?
Well, isn't that just a crazy
madcap coincidence?
So why are you here again?
The watch. I mentioned it to you,
and then, hey, presto, it showed up.
Ooh. They're good.
No.
His watch turned up. So what?
So, was that what you
were talking to Craig about?
No. Look, I have a million followers,
and probably another 200,000
after tonight's livestream.
Do you think they're going to enjoy
hearing of how the police
have unleashed a conspiracy theory
designed to agitate pregnant widows?
I mean, it was a heart attack, lady.
Just Just let it go.
No, I think there's another reason
that
you don't want anyone asking questions.
Can you go?
- It's been a really long day.
- This is nice.
I don't care about the stupid watch,
and I don't care
about whatever stupid theory you have.
Rory's gone and I have to move on.
Is that Is it a crime?
No.
But having an affair with the guy
who failed to save your
drowning boyfriend
well, that's not a good look either,
is it?
What the hell are you talking about?
With Rory out of the way,
things look pretty rosy for you two.
There's titles to win,
no obstacles in your way.
You're crazy.
I know Craig's been visiting you.
ATV tire tracks in the driveway
the same ATV that Rory's watch
was found in.
What? Craig?! Are you insane, Soraya?
It's not my fault we
have a karmic connection.
Sometimes we hook up. It's not a major.
- You're not 16 any more!
- He's just got that big wave energy
that I need sometimes!
- Did Rory know about you two?
- No. No.
The night before he died,
he texted me in the hospital.
He made a big deal about wanting to talk
about something serious
when I got home.
Then maybe he did know.
Are you for real? He was so
excited about you being pregnant.
- Was that the something serious?
- I never found out. I just
I figured it was probably about
getting married or something.
How come?
He had been so clingy lately like
like over-the-top, not-really-him
type of behaviour.
Wait,
is it even Rory's baby you're having?!
If it weren't for me,
you'd still be in your awful little flat
doing your crummy
little veterinary degree
instead of being paid mac money
and living on the beach.
So you can quit the judgement
and start with the gratitude.
And yes, it's Rory's baby.
Probably.
Wow. The affair thing I was just
guessing, you know?
Matching tats and all.
Just tell me. Why was it important
to steal the watch off Rory's wrist?
- What did Craig do?
- Shut up! Shut up about the watch!
I don't know anything
about any damn watch!
Now get the hell out of my house.
No trouble.
So
it turns out that Soraya
is sleeping with the guy
who allegedly tried
to save her boyfriend.
Wow. OK.
But who left the watch in the ATV?
Don't know.
But Harry's having it
checked for prints.
Did you get a swim in at least?
No, I did not get a swim in.
All right. What is going on
with you and that place?
Every time you come back,
you've got that face on.
There's nothing wrong with my face.
Usually, you're a really good liar,
and sometimes,
you are really crap at it.
Oh, come on. If you're not
going to get an air conditioner,
it's the least you can do.
All right. Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was
a con man who had a daughter.
Now, little did the child know
that the cottage by the
sea that they always went to
didn't belong to her family,
like her daddy said.
In fact, every year, he would figure
out when the homeowners were away
and he would purloin the key
from that all-time great Kiwi
hiding place under the doormat.
And then one dark night, the police came
and they ripped the little girl
and her family out of the cottage
and they threw her
daddy in a police car,
and that was the beginning
of the end. Happy now?
Your dad scammed a free holiday house.
- It's not funny.
- Oh, come on. It's a little bit.
Who laughs at that?
At least your memories of him
aren't boring.
Just go and check Rory's text
to Soraya the night before he died.
She claims that he
wanted to talk to her.
What about?
Well, that's what I'd like to know.
Oh, and check all the apps
and the phone numbers, too.
There's something on that watch
that somebody thought was there,
even if it wasn't.
Craig didn't budge.
He swears on his life
he didn't know anything about the watch.
Of course he didn't.
- Let me guess no prints on it?
- Correct.
But Craig did admit he went to
the house to check on Soraya
the first couple of
days after ithappened,
so he definitely had access.
Oh, he had access
all right plenty of it.
I mean to the watch
information on the home computer.
Oh, yeah, yeah. That too.
- Two.
- Hmm?
- Compliments.
- Well, that's not many.
- Well, it's still early.
- How do you like the sourdough?
Eh, it's OK.
Two and a half.
- Only OK? Really?
- OK, so here's a theory.
Craig thinks that Rory stole his girl,
the surf titles. He knows
Rory had a heart illness.
So he swims out, drowns him, then,
realising he could be implicated,
he uses the home computer
to access Rory's watch to see
where the body's coming in.
Because he's afraid that the watch will
give away
what happened in the water?
Yeah, or prove that he could
have done more to bring Rory in.
Hmm.
'Hmm' what?
Why would he turn the watch
back on three weeks later?
Do you ever finish
any of the food that you buy? Or
You'll get used to it, mate.
She's an acquired taste.
Speak to me.
Rory did send Soraya a bunch
of texts saying he wanted to talk.
- What about?
- Didn't say.
Great!
But one of the apps
on his watch was deleted.
It was an app that was used
like a digital key for a hotel room
last used on Valentine's Day.
Guten morgen.
Do you
have any of these brochures in Deutsche?
- They're too hard for me.
- Ja.
- Morning!
- Hi.
Alexa.
Grant.
Yeah. Listen, uh,
the police have
asked for our cooperation with a case,
and, uh, I need your help, Grant.
Wow. OK.
All agencies greatly appreciate
your discreet cooperation.
You're doing a great
service for your country.
Very cool.
OK. I need some footage of Valentine's
Day around 8pm to, say, 10pm.
So, are we looking for, like,
a hardcore gangster type?
Yeah, more a surfer dude
who used an app
to arrange an anonymous hotel hook-up.
That's like half the hotel.
Whatever happened to a movie
and an ice cream, eh?
- OK. So, where are we looking?
- Reception/foyer?
Man, it gets crazy in
here on Valentine's Day.
Look around 8pm.
Oh, wait, that's him. Can you zoom in?
That's Rory Byrne.
Yes, it is.
Man, his wife is mega
I think the word you're looking
for is 'successful', and she is.
Closer. Tighten the shot.
What did he do?
You are a credit
to the nation, young man.
Bitte schon.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Have I got a surprise for you.
- Same.
- I found a discounted air conditioner
advertised on the internet.
I win. I found Rory Byrne
with his mistress the sister.
Kia or a!
Door was open.
You're wasting your time.
Soraya's at a doctor's appointment.
No, I was looking for you, actually.
I know about your little
Valentine's night with Rory.
Please don't say anything.
It meant nothing, all right? It
was just a terrible, terrible mistake.
Why don't you walk me through it?
We went to a supplier's launch
and
he was upset because she didn't come.
She'd sent me because
she was feeling sick.
- So he really didn't know about Craig?
- No.
I mean, if I didn't know,
then he didn't know.
I just told him it was the pregnancy
taking a toll on her.
Have you always been so agreeable
to
Doing whatever Soraya tells you to do?
She's intense.
But there's another side.
I mean, she's funny and kind
and she's really good at sharing.
Yeah. I guess I see that.
I mean, she didn't have to make me
a part of the business, but she did.
- Do you feel like you owe her?
- Are you kidding? Absolutely.
Why did you sleep with her boyfriend?
I mean, he was just drunk
like, way, way too drunk.
Honestly, in the moment,
I don't even
think he knew it was me and not her.
Did you talk about it afterwards?
No, no. Never. We were too ashamed.
What makes you think Soraya
didn't know about you two?
I'd know if she did for sure.
Why? What would she do?
I don't even want to think
about it, honestly.
Just
please don't tell her.
Please.
Kia or a!
Hello.
Oh, hello, pussycat.
Cheers.
Those people out there at Piha Beach
all seem real familiar with each other.
Yeah. You know what?
Eden had unfettered access
to the home computer.
It could just as easily have been her
tracking that body
as Craig and Soraya.
- I think we need the works on Eden.
- OK.
But I need an improvement
to my work conditions.
Well, not if it starts with 'air'
and ends with 'conditioner.'
Alexa, how do you expect me to work with
a sprained ankle,
trapped in a sauna?
Come on. It's good for you
opens the pores right up.
And look how productive you've been
working at above-average temperatures.
Three?
In the last 24 hours?
Well, it's still more compliments
than I've had for the coffee.
Yeah, I would hope so.
- What, you don't like my coffee?
- Love your coffee,
but if you're comparing it to
sourdough, then.
Well, I I didn't know we were.
Just doing my bit for the planet.
Well, that's good, Reuben!
Craig.
I didn't want to keep
showing up at the surf club.
I know how gossip flies around Piha.
I already told you what I know.
I mean, the idea that I'm responsible
for what happened is stupid.
No, not really.
Could have got you the girl
and the championship title.
- I pulled out of the titles.
- When?
About a week ago.
Had a shoulder injury the same
one that stuffed me up last year.
It's all on file.
- Why didn't you tell the police that?
- Why would I?
It's totally crazy to think that someone
would knock off someone else
for a title.
Could Soraya's baby be yours?
No.
We haven't had unprotected sex
since we were 17.
You can ask her if you don't believe me.
You love her?
Sure. But it's not like you think.
- You know, we're friends.
- Friends who have sex with one another.
Well, not that it's
any of your business.
No, Soraya and I are ancient.
Always will be. You know, we are
what we are when we need each other.
- Do you think that Soraya loved Rory?
- Honestly?
No. But she knows that the whole Soraya
empire wouldn't be
what it was without him.
I don't think she ever imagined
being so successful, you know?
More famous than him,
so she felt obliged.
- Why didn't she just leave him?
- I don't know. She's pretty loyal.
I'm starting to believe you.
I don't really care what you believe.
If I really wanted him gone,
I wouldn't have risked my own life
going out there in that swell, would I?
I would have just let him drown.
- Hi. Let me guess Harry.
- Madison.
- Your reputation precedes you.
- Likewise.
- What have you done to your foot?
- Don't ask.
Oh, Alexa's not here.
OK. Right. Uh, well,
I've got to drop this stuff off.
She wanted some records on this
Eden. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Got it.
Can I come in?
Why?
Because it's bloody hot out here?
- It doesn't feel right.
- It's not my house.
I'm a cop, so I'm a pretty safe bet.
Yeah, right!
Eden's Instagram
all pretty normal stuff.
- Ta.
- I've trawled her socials.
Nothing obvious. She's
always been a swot.
She was part of a Save the Whales
protest a couple of years ago,
but I don't know if standing in front
of a police van dressed as an orca
can be considered anti-social.
I don't know. I don't trust orcas.
They look shifty.
Party at my house, I see.
It's like a bloody oven in here.
Haven't you got a fan or something?
I didn't say a word. I swear.
How's Craig?
- Innocent, I think.
- Why?
Oh, call it instinct
and the fact he forgot to mention
he pulled out of the nationals.
Well, he should have told us
that when we interviewed him.
Only happened a week ago.
And you'll be surprised to hear
there's this thing called the male ego.
Well, we've got nothing on Eden.
She's a model citizen,
ex-uni student.
- Veterinary.
- Yep. She's presented a few papers
these ones, because, damn, I'm awesome.
'The effects of
atropa belladonna on livestock.'
Yeah, I think I'll wait for the movie.
Can you find out what flight she
took in the week before Rory's death?
- What cars she rented, where she was.
- Wasn't she in Piha?
Was she?
You heard the woman. Chop, chop.
No,
I'm pretty sure she was talking to you.
Good to see her keeping
that non-existent ego in check.
There it is.
- Hey, Eden.
- Hi!
I'm actually just filling up. I
can get you something if you want.
Nah, nah. It's good.
I don't need anything.
Wow.
I'm getting the impression
you really like your sister,
like you're two halves of a whole.
Of course.
That's why you
should tell her the truth.
- We've been over that.
- I mean about what you did to Rory.
When you spoke about
your sister's morning sickness,
you used the Latin terminology.
Force of habit. Nerd alert.
Vet studies came in handy
when you were
dealing with a problem you saw as fate.
Alexa, I really need to get home.
You went to Christchurch on the Monday.
That's the one day that the cart is
closed
and two days before Rory died.
You told everyone you were
going to see your supervisor,
Dr Bowsher, but that never happened.
He wasn't there. I just
caught up with friends.
No, you didn't.
Your cell phone pinged off a tower
in the Canterbury Hills.
It's the one place in the country
where
the noxious atropa belladonna grows
AKA deadly nightshade.
What are you talking about?
Rory was going to
spill the beans to Soraya
about your little happy
ending Valentine's Day.
That was the something serious
he wanted to talk about, right?
How would I know?
He was tired of feeling so guilty,
so
He was going to tell Soraya the next day
when she got back from the hospital.
But you planned for that, didn't you?
All you had to do was get the
deadly nightshade into the smoothie.
I mean, he was never going to notice,
and it would take a good
few minutes to kick in.
Anticholinergic toxic syndrome
is virtually
identical to a sudden arrhythmic death,
and it's almost impossible
to trace in any result.
But you know what it does to cows,
so
You knew what it was going to do to him.
And by the time he had his heart attack,
no one would be able
to get close to him,
and with the tidal patterns,
the body would be carried out,
never to be seen again.
But then Craig showed up
and a front came
in and the body got caught in a drag.
You had a bad run
almost as bad as Rory.
Were you fired for being a fantasist?
Were you just so relieved
when Craig came in without him?
OK, are you finished?
No. Now, the watch I got to admit,
that had me stumped for a bit.
But if the police or Soraya had
discovered that hotel app,
well,
it would have led to Rory being a cheat,
and that would've led
straight back to you.
So you deleted the app
and you planted the watch
just to throw Craig under the bus.
OK. Good luck proving any of that.
Ah, sweetheart.
They're exhuming the body,
and now
that the lab knows what to look for,
it's just too easy.
He only wanted to tell the truth
because the guilt was getting in
the way of his sleep and his training.
I mean, at least my niece or nephew
isn't going to live with a narcissist
rising off the back of my sister's
success anymore.
But isn't that what you were doing?
And you didn't want to lose it.
Can I at least say goodbye?
I mean, I might not see her again.
What the hell is wrong with you?!
How could you
Who knew, eh? Rory's dad was right.
Yeah, must be nice to have a dad
look out for you like that.
I reckon you're probably
a pretty good surfer.
Once upon a time, maybe.
And it's a rare sport where you
can look ahead to see what's behind.
Wow. Deep.
Goodnight.
- You want a ride?
- Nah, I'm good. Thanks.
- What, you gonna go catch a wave?
- Something like that.
You all right?
Yeah. I used to stay here
when I was little.
Ah.
Oh, you're going the wrong way!
It's a great house.
Soon, darling. Soon.
I have never been so grateful
to walk to an averagely-stocked
supermarket in my life.
Thank heavens for small mercies,
eh? Get the goods?
Yes.
You know, I was thinking on
the way home.
Why would Eden throw away her whole
life instead of telling the truth?
Fear the great motivator.
Poor Soraya. Her boyfriend,
now her sister. It's
Please. She'll live.
Here you go, darling.
Hey, about the other day.
I feel bad for laughing
when you told me that story about
Yeah. I'm going to have a shower.
Missing you already!

Nita Martini
half of the successful drag duo
Ginger and Nita.
Well, looks like Ginger's
found herself a replacement.
I can never replace David.
So I guess we're done.
What'd she die of?
According to the coroner,
accidental electrocution.
How do you feel about dancing?
It's a booty pop.
I feel like I'm being mocked.
Trying to stop an investigation
makes you look dodgy.
I will come after you.
You would've been a great cop
if
You just had a bit more self-confidence.
- You look like a million bucks.
- Well, I wish I got more interest.
