TREVOR I knew it was you! MACKENZIE Ah, what are you doing? MACKENZIE OI! What are you doing? MUSIC ENDS TREVOR Get out. MACKENZIE What? MACKENZIE Can you just hang on a tick? MACKENZIE I am a paying customer. TREVOR I can�t believe you came back. After what you did. TREVOR Get out. TREVOR I tried to warn them about you. TREVOR I told everybody on the day, but they wouldn�t listen to me. MACKENZIE Oh yes, you�re very perceptive, Trevor. MACKENZIE Smarter than everyone. You can�t just leave me here. MACKENZIE It�s 3K into town. TREVOR Not my problem. MACKENZIE What about professional standards? MACKENZIE What about driver�s ethics? What about manners? You still there? Ohh! MACKENZIE Hello! Hello? MACKENZIE Cheers Mum. COLIN Murder. COLIN Because of ... FELIX The knife in his back? COLIN Mm. FELIX First one? COLIN Nah, done loads. At the Academy. Case histories. COLIN But it�s no different to investigating a robbery, is it? FELIX Oh, except somebody�s dead. That�s the difference. COLIN Hard to disagree, Felix. Hard to disagree. Boss? PHILOMENA Hey. Oh boy. COLIN Mmm. MUSIC ENDS PHILOMENA Did you have a chat with Susan Stirling? COLIN She said Stuart had a 2pm appointment at 3 Hillside Circuit with a buyer ... COLIN Grant Edgar. I�m meeting with him there. PHILOMENA Okay. COLIN Mm-hm. PHILOMENA I�m gonna get on to HQ. Tell them to send down a detective. COLIN We ... we don�t need another detective. PHILOMENA Oh, Colin. PHILOMENA When Dolphin Cove royalty washes up on the shore break, I think we need a senior detective, I�m sorry. And you know it! Hey, Constable. MACKENZIE I want to talk to him about renting it out as soon as humanly possible. RECEPTIONIST He can�t come to the phone. I�m so sorry. RECEPTIONIST He had an appointment and then ... MACKENZIE Ah ... Oh, look, honestly, can you just pull yourself together and tell me, where was his last appointment? COLIN So, Stuart Granger was showing you through the property? GRANT Yeah, yeah, just looking for something a bit bigger for when I have the kids. Stuart thought it�d be a good fit, so ... COLIN It�s your first time here? GRANT Yeah. COLIN What time did you leave? GRANT Ah, I think about three? Maybe just before. COLIN Did Stuart leave with you? GRANT Ah, no, I left him here. STUART He said he�d lock up. COLIN Did you know him well? GRANT Oh, you know, I�ve seen him around. I help out at the surf club. He�s the President, so ... COLIN So you and Stuart were friends? GRANT Well, I wouldn�t say that. You know, hardly see him these days. MACKENZIE And where is he now? COLIN Sorry, ah, you ... you can�t be here. MACKENZIE Who are you? COLIN Colin Cartwright. COLIN Detective Senior Constable Colin Cartwright. MACKENZIE Where�s Stuart Granger? COLIN Thank you, Grant. Er, Mr Edgar. COLIN We�ll be in touch if we need to talk to you again. GRANT Sure. Okay. GRANT Sorry. COLIN Ah, Stuart Granger is unavailable. MACKENZIE He�s dead. That�s why his receptionist was crying. And you�re a detective, so it wasn�t natural causes. Murdered, then. COLIN Sorry, who are you? Because this is official police business. MACKENZIE Mackenzie Clarke. MACKENZIE Detective Inspector, Metropolitan Police. COLIN Oh. London. COLIN Um, welcome to Dolphin Cove. But you still can�t be in here. MACKENZIE No techs. No crime scene guys. He wasn�t found here. MACKENZIE Where then? COLIN I am not at liberty -- MACKENZIE Oh, I�ll find out anyway. COLIN On the beach. MACKENZIE But he was last seen here with that guy, Grant Edgar. So when did he ... MACKENZIE Have you got the footage? COLIN We�re waiting on the security company to send over the rest. You can watch it, professional courtesy, then you gotta go. MACKENZIE Are they the victim�s? COLIN Left on the bench. MACKENZIE But he was found in the water? Drowned? COLIN Still unclear. COLIN Front door, back door. Stuart with Grant Edgar. MACKENZIE Speed it up. COLIN Grant Edgar leaving, 2.59. MACKENZIE What time was the body found? COLIN Ooh, ah, around four. MACKENZIE What? MACKENZIE We�re past four. We should have seen him come out. COLIN He didn�t leave. MACKENZIE Any other exits? COLIN All bolted from the inside. Windows, doors, checked them all. So he can�t have used any of them. MACKENZIE He didn�t use any of the exits. COLIN So he never left the house. MACKENZIE But if he never left the house, how did he end up on the beach, two Ks away, dead? COLIN I appreciate your input, but we�re done now. MACKENZIE Stuart�s? COLIN We�ll go through it. MACKENZIE A place like this, it�s not cheap. MACKENZIE What�s Grant, a mechanic? COLIN Ah ... COLIN He didn�t -- MACKENZIE Grease under his fingernails. MACKENZIE Pay attention. MACKENZIE So a mechanic comes to see a house that he probably can�t afford, walks out and leaves Stuart behind. COLIN Dead? MACKENZIE Then how did he get into the water? COLIN Alive then? MACKENZIE Then how did he get into the water? It doesn�t make sense. PHILOMENA Mackenzie Clarke! MACKENZIE I was looking for Stuart Granger. MACKENZIE To rent Mum�s house out. PHILOMENA And when you found out this was a potential crime scene, you turned around and went home? COLIN I ... I did try and tell her that. PHILOMENA Yeah. MACKENZIE Obviously not. PHILOMENA Obviously not! PHILOMENA So what about we try doing that now? PHILOMENA And Mackenzie? PHILOMENA Turn your brain off for this one. We�ve got all the help we need. MACKENZIE Check his lungs. PHILOMENA Strong. Why not? Oh, come on, Bryce. You promised me last night you�d find someone. I have tried everybody. There�s no one else. MACKENZIE Oh! PHILOMENA Yeah, they�re a real menace around the water. PHILOMENA Your Mum gone? MACKENZIE A few days ago. Thought I was coming back to see her, but turns out she�s on an artist�s pilgrimage. MACKENZIE Unlikely to return. PHILOMENA An artist�s pilgrimage? MACKENZIE Mm. When I called her, she said she was �following the stars and her heart.� MACKENZIE Now I have to rent the place out for her. PHILOMENA Sounds about right. MACKENZIE So, now instead of a reunion, I�m cleaning the house out. PHILOMENA How long are you staying? MACKENZIE Until this is done. PHILOMENA Wanna hold that out? PHILOMENA Oh, yuck! MACKENZIE Oh! PHILOMENA And ... PHILOMENA So. PHILOMENA Detective Inspector in London. I imagine you can�t take too much time off. MACKENZIE Not really, no. PHILOMENA Oh, small-talk, kill me. Look, this is the sit-rep, Mackenzie, okay? We�ve got Stuart Granger, washing up on the beach yesterday afternoon, and the powers that be cannot spare a senior detective with homicide experience. And I need one. MACKENZIE Me? PHILOMENA Well, would have thought that you owed me a favour. MACKENZIE Sorry, but I told you, I�m not staying. Very heavy caseload back in London. PHILOMENA Oh, well. Just have to find someone else to figure out how Stuart Granger got in the water. MACKENZIE Did he drown? No. No, not my case. PHILOMENA Stabbed. In the back. PHILOMENA Knife still in the blazer. MACKENZIE How much blood on his clothes? PHILOMENA Yeah, it�s a real mystery. MACKENZIE Wait, wait, wait. You need to figure out how he got out of the -- PHILOMENA You just enjoy your stay, Mackenzie. PHILOMENA You remember where everything is. Constable Felix Wilkinson, this is Detective Inspector Mackenzie Clarke, Metropolitan MUSIC ENDS Police, London. Mackenzie used to have your job. FELIX Why�d you leave? PHILOMENA Ah, that�s not pertinent, Constable. MACKENZIE Yep. COLIN Okay, statement�s done. COLIN Forensics underway. Let�s crack on, team. And hello. PHILOMENA Ah, Colin, you remember Detective Inspector Clarke? She�ll be assisting us. MACKENZIE Temporarily. COLIN Okay, yeah. COLIN Can we have a quick chat? PHILOMENA No. MACKENZIE Where�s the button? MACKENZIE His blazer, it�s missing a button. What happened to it? FELIX Well, I�ve made a start. COLIN Well -- MACKENZIE I�ll just -- COLIN No. COLIN You don�t mind? MACKENZIE Oh, I just, it�s ... MACKENZIE Yep. MACKENZIE Yeah, that�s fine. COLIN Okay. To recap. COLIN At about 4pm yesterday, Stuart Granger, iconic Dolphin Cove real estate agent, washed ashore on Main Beach. MACKENZIE Where did he go into the water? COLIN Ah could have been ... ... anywhere. Dozens of tracks through the scrub. COLIN Four or five carparks, about 50Ks of coastline. REGGIE I know you�re in there! REGGIE I can see your cars. REGGIE Thank you. I don�t know why you don�t give me a pass. FELIX There�s an entrance right there. REGGIE I�m not coming in the front with the rubes. Come on! Bugger me! If it isn�t Mackenzie Clarke! MACKENZIE Ms Rocco! REGGIE Oh, so good to have you back! Oh! MACKENZIE Temporarily. REGGIE Ohh. MACKENZIE Why ... why are you -- REGGIE Oh, I�m retired now, honey. REGGIE Yeah, I gave the teaching away and bringing my wisdom to the streets. MACKENZIE But you�re not a ... you�re not a ... you�re not a ... REGGIE No. MACKENZIE You�re not a police officer? REGGIE Unofficially, I guess I am. FELIX Ah, officially she is not. She�s a volunteer in policing. REGGIE These guys are obsessed with titles. It�s the same thing in the end. FELIX It�s not the same thing at all. REGGIE Well I�m not an instrument for institutional oppression, like some. FELIX Yesterday you wanted a gun. COLIN Anyway, the victim�s last known location was 3 Hillside Circuit. I�ve got his messages from his mobile provider. He sent this the other day. �She knows about us and she�s fuming. We need to meet.� FELIX That wasn�t in his phone. COLIN He deleted it after he sent it to Becky Hayden. FELIX Well, who�s Becky Hayden? REGGIE She�s a waitress at the Surf Club. And she always takes your drink before you�re done. FELIX Affair? COLIN People have killed for less. COLIN Felix, Reggie, knock on doors in Hillside Circuit. See if anyone saw or heard anything. I�ll talk to Susan Stirling again. Ah, DI Clarke? COLIN You come with me. I guess. COLIN Can you tell me where you were between 3 and 4pm? SUSAN Between 3 and 4? COLIN Mm. SUSAN I was on a run. COLIN Where? SUSAN In the bush, at COLIN Didn�t they close that? SUSAN Well the council don�t tell me where I can and can�t go. COLIN So, you didn�t stay to watch the carnival? SUSAN I was only gone a short while. COLIN Did you go anywhere near the Hillside Circuit House? SUSAN No. That was Stuart�s listing. MACKENZIE Both your pictures are on the board. SUSAN Both our pictures are on every board. SUSAN Still, I never went there. MACKENZIE Lots of Stirlings. SUSAN My ancestors, Mackenzie. MACKENZIE Mm. SUSAN Survivors of the shipwreck, who swam ashore and were the first to make their lives in what we now know as Dolphin Cove. MACKENZIE Except for the people who were here thousands of years before them. SUSAN You never worried about anyone liking you, did you, Mackenzie Clarke? MACKENZIE Did you know that Stuart was having an affair with Becky Hayden? SUSAN The waitress? Yes, I did. MACKENZIE Stuart told Becky you were fuming. SUSAN I�m sure that�s what he told Becky. SUSAN Yes, we had a conversation about it and he ended it with her. MACKENZIE Just like that? SUSAN He agreed that the Stirling name, our legacy, was too important for him to jeopardise our marriage. COLIN Thank you, Mrs Stirling. REGGIE How could no one on the whole street have seen anything? And that bloke? REGGIE What a whinger. So someone knocked over your letterbox, mate. How is that a police problem? FELIX Well, it was intact yesterday morning when he got the paper. REGGIE So? FELIX Well someone knocked it over between then and now. Around the same time you heard a motorbike. FELIX A yellow one, by the look of the paint on the letterbox. REGGIE See, that�s the thing about Dolphin Cove these days. See, there was a time if your letterbox got knocked over, Shane from next door would come round with a bit of timber and you might have some concrete in your shed, and an hour yakka, job done, you�d have a few drinks and we�d all end up in a hot tub. These places now, they�re all weekenders. They don�t even know their neighbours to say hello to, let alone have a thing with their wife. FELIX Sorry, whose wife? REGGIE You just mind your business, sticky-beak. MUSIC BEGINS ... 18 SEC CD SCORE 13 COLIN So Becky, did you leave the surf club at all? BECKY Just to go to the shops. MACKENZIE How long were you and Stuart Granger having an affair? BECKY What? BECKY It wasn�t an affair. I�m not with anyone anymore, so ... COLIN And Stuart being married to Susan doesn�t count? BECKY Hardly. I mean, we ... we were in love. COLIN So, you must have been heartbroken when he dumped you. COLIN Angry, even. BECKY He didn�t dump me. BECKY He couldn�t wait to get away from Susan and move in with me. MACKENZIE Uh-uh-uh. MACKENZIE So why didn�t he? BECKY She made him sign some sort of prenup that, if they get a divorce, he doesn�t get any of the Stirling money. COLIN If that�s really the case, then why would he risk it all for you? MACKENZIE Because she�s pregnant. MACKENZIE There�s a hair tie on the button. It�s cheaper than maternity pants. JACK Mooney! MACKENZIE Don�t hang up. JACK I�m actually at work. MACKENZIE Yes, obviously. What�s the situation? Is there going to be an enquiry? JACK Ah, no. I�m pretty happy with my mobile plan at the moment. MACKENZIE What? JACK More data than I could ever need, thank you. MACKENZIE Can�t talk. Got it. MACKENZIE I need to know -- MACKENZIE Ah, I don�t think I�ll be making a decision in the near future. MACKENZIE When, then? JACK Ah, I�d say it�ll be a matter of months. MACKENZIE Months? MACKENZIE How many? JACK No need to call me back. Tell you what, I�ll ring you when my contract is up. Should have a better idea by then. MACKENZIE Got it. Do you have any idea which way it�s gonna go? MACKENZIE It�s hard to say. Listen, I�m pretty busy here so -- MACKENZIE No, no, no, don�t hang up. JACK Please, don�t call me again. JACK Take me off your call list. MACKENZIE No, don�t go! JACK Telemarketers! MACKENZIE It�s open! MUSIC ENDS COLIN So we�ve finally got the rest of the footage. Oh my giddy aunt. MACKENZIE I know. Gotta get it all to the op shop. COLIN This is your house? MACKENZIE It�s my Mum�s. COLIN You can see it from the surf. MACKENZIE Mm-hm. COLIN Did you know there�s a lady who bathes out the back, naked, sometimes? MACKENZIE Also my Mum. MACKENZIE Have we heard from the forensic accounting team about the victim�s finances? COLIN Ah, that�s me. I�m the �forensic accounting team.� COLIN I�ll get onto that tomorrow. MACKENZIE Autopsy report then? COLIN Ah, tomorrow, probably. MACKENZIE Oh yeah, no rush. COLIN We don�t have everything at our fingertips, like in London. COLIN We�re a small coastal police station and we do the best we can for our community, a community that I�ve loved from the minute I moved here. Anyway, we did get the previous week�s Hillside Circuit footage, so we�re not completely useless. MACKENZIE Thanks. I�ll look at it now. COLIN It�s like two hundred hours of footage. MACKENZIE A hundred and sixty-eight. COLIN Huh? MACKENZIE Hours in the week. I�m only going to skim it. COLIN Leave you to it. Good night, then. I�ll chase up those financial statements first thing in the morning. MACKENZIE Other door! COLIN Beautiful out there. COLIN Never made it for a surf. Regretting it already. The water looks magic. Anyway, um, tech guys went over the Hillside Circuit house. No blood, no hair, no evidence of anything. MACKENZIE Well, the killer could have cleaned up. COLIN No sign of that either. COLIN Looks like Stuart wasn�t killed in the house, at this stage. Ah, long black, I guessed. MACKENZIE I don�t drink it. COLIN How do you function this early without it? COLIN Wait, have you ... COLIN Have you been watching that all night? MACKENZIE Yeah. MACKENZIE Sometimes I get started on a case and then my brain, it just ... MACKENZIE Look at this. MACKENZIE It�s from a week ago. COLIN He�s coming out the house? MACKENZIE Three or four times. COLIN What�s he doing? MACKENZIE No idea. MACKENZIE He does it out the back as well. All the time he�s glued to his phone. COLIN Well, for something more concrete, Glenn�s got early pathology for us. MACKENZIE Glenn Strong? COLIN As in the boss�s son, yeah. MACKENZIE Well, I�m sure you can manage. MACKENZIE I�ve gotta get a load of Mum�s stuff to the op shop. COLIN Really? COLIN I thought you�d want to be across everything -- COLIN Frankie! Frankie! Hello, Frankie! Hello! Where�s Glenn? Where�s Glenn? GLENN Sorry, mate. GLENN Got on a bit of a roll. GLENN Didn�t see you out there this morning. COLIN I�m not really ... not really good enough for the bigger waves. GLENN Oh, it�s not about being good, it�s about being in the water. COLIN I know. I know. GLENN And you are good. You�ve come a long way in a short time. GLENN You should be proud. GLENN Righto, shall we get stuck in? COLIN Here, Frankie. COLIN Come on! Good girl. GLENN He was stabbed. No surprises there. Knife looks like it went into the right lung. I�ll know more when I get him opened up. Just waiting for him to get back from the CT scanner, then I�ll start the autopsy. COLIN Any estimate of time? GLENN Water makes it tricky. COLIN Our window is between 3 and 4pm. GLENN Nothing here suggests otherwise. GLENN Dead end. Generic kitchen knife. Find it anywhere. No prints. GLENN Missing a button. COLIN I know. COLIN I�ve got a DI from London supposedly helping me and she�s mentioned that button. GLENN Mackenzie Clarke? COLIN You know her? GLENN Yeah. COLIN Oh, so you know what she�s like then? GLENN Not winning many friends? COLIN Not really trying. GLENN Sounds about right. If it ah, helps, she�s brilliant. GLENN And a good person, deep down. COLIN How deep? GLENN Most people don�t get there. COLIN Know anyone who has? GLENN I do, actually. REGGIE Oh, there�s something about him in the depths of my memory. MUSIC ENDS FELIX Maybe you taught him? REGGIE No. I remember everyone I�ve taught. FELIX Over forty years? Sure. REGGIE �The Worst Day Of My Life�, by Felix Wilkinson. REGGIE �When I was 11 years old, I lost my generation one Optimus Prime� -- FELIX Okay, okay, okay, REGGIE -- �and the� -- FELIX I believe you. You remember everyone. PHILOMENA Progress? FELIX Ah, the neighbour heard a motorbike. FELIX Scrape of yellow paint on the letterbox. FELIX So I'm checking regos for yellow motorbikes in Dolphin Cove. PHILOMENA And? FELIX Nothing so far. PHILOMENA You got anything? COLIN Stabbed, obviously. Nothing on the knife. Time of death, most probably still between three and four. Tracks with what Grant told us. PHILOMENA Okay. Where�s Mackenzie? COLIN Hey, um, Is there anything going on between DI Clarke and Glenn Strong? REGGIE No. COLIN Because they both got weird about each other this morning. REGGIE Well, I mean, unless you count her leaving him at the altar six years ago, flying to London and never speaking to him again. FELIX Got it. Yellow motorbike. COLIN Hang on. She was engaged to Glenn? REGGIE Mm-hm. COLIN Her? REGGIE Yeah. COLIN With him? REGGIE Mm-hm. COLIN The boss was going to be her mother-in-law? REGGIE Yeah. PHILOMENA I can hear you. COLIN I�m not finished with this. Yellow motorbike, go. FELIX Registered to a Zayne Wyatt. COLIN What do we know about him? FELIX He has an impressive record of violent assaults. FELIX And he has the same address as Becky Hayden. FELIX Well, the bike�s the same yellow as the paint on the letterbox. REGGIE Mm. COLIN Zayne Wyatt? COLIN Can we have a chat? REGGIE Library card. COLIN Zayne! REGGIE Go lads! Get him! FELIX Zayne, stop! MACKENZIE Got some stuff to drop off, to donate. COLIN Suspect! Run! MADGE Hey! Hey! You can�t just leave �em here! Come back, Mackenzie Clarke! MACKENZIE Namaste. YOGA WOMAN Yeah ... COLIN What were you doing at Hillside Circuit on the day of Stuart Granger�s murder? ZAYNE No comment. COLIN Shall we just arrest you for criminal damage then? ZAYNE A letterbox? Give us a break. COLIN Oh, so you were there then? ZAYNE You know I was there. COLIN For how long? ZAYNE I left right after Stuart took the other bloke into the house. STUART Gidday, mate. COLIN You went where? ZAYNE For a ride. CHRIS You live with Becky? ZAYNE Not anymore, I don�t. COLIN So, why were you at her house just now? ZAYNE I was picking something up. COLIN What? ZAYNE My ring. MACKENZIE Engagement ring. MACKENZIE That�s why Becky said she wasn�t with anyone anymore. So, your fianc� dumps you for a rich real estate agent. You find Stuart at the Hillside Circuit House, teach him a lesson. What, did things get a bit out of hand? ZAYNE I never went near him. COLIN You were waiting there for him. ZAYNE I wasn�t waiting for Stuart. ZAYNE I was waiting for Becky. COLIN So Becky had a key. She had access to the house all along. MACKENZIE But she�s not on the CCTV. And as far as we know, Stuart wasn�t killed there anyway. COLIN We don�t know where he was killed. COLIN We don�t know how he got out of the house without being seen, and we don�t know where he went into the water. MACKENZIE Somewhere in there. COLIN And we don�t know whether he was dead or alive when he did. We�re not getting anywhere. MACKENZIE Yes, we are. We just don�t know where yet. MACKENZIE Oh, what? MACKENZIE Frankie! MACKENZIE Francesca Camilla Kelpington III. MACKENZIE Hi! Hello, beauty! MACKENZIE Oh my goodness, look at you! GLENN Hi. MACKENZIE Hi. GLENN There was water in his lungs. MACKENZIE I knew it. GLENN It was weird when I got him open. A knife through the right lung, upper lobe, you�d expect about two litres of blood in the chest, if that�s what killed him. GLENN But there was only five hundred mil. MACKENZIE So he drowned? GLENN He drowned and he was stabbed. The knife wound was killing him, but he drowned before it could finish the job. Froth in the airways confirms that. MACKENZIE How long between the knife going in and him going into the water? GLENN Five hundred mil of blood in the chest, couldn�t be long. Five minutes at the absolute outside. MACKENZIE Okay. MACKENZIE Closest water to here? GLENN Straight down the hill to the clifftop here. MACKENZIE Right. You know the plan. MACKENZIE One of us drives, one of us runs, and we time how long it takes to get to the water. If it is more than five minutes, we know for certain that the killer couldn�t have stabbed Stuart in the house and got to the water in time. GLENN Ah, so, why am I running again? MACKENZIE Because you were lucky enough to have your running gear in your car. GLENN Frankie! MACKENZIE Eleven minutes twenty. GLENN Oh, too long. MACKENZIE Why is your shirt off? GLENN It�s hot. MACKENZIE It�s not that hot. MACKENZIE You know the killer might have been faster because, yeah well, you�re not really the quickest bloke. GLENN Either way, it�s impossible. GLENN I ran, no stops, and I wasn�t carrying a body, all the way from the house to here. MACKENZIE So he definitely couldn�t have been stabbed in the house? GLENN No, he would have stopped breathing long before he made it to the water and there would have been way more blood in his chest. MACKENZIE So where was he killed? GLENN Anywhere within five minutes of the water. MACKENZIE How did he get there without leaving the house? GLENN So ... back in Dolphin Cove for the first time in six years. MACKENZIE We should get back. GLENN Sure. MACKENZIE Thanks for the tip. GLENN No worries. GLENN Come on Frankie. COLIN So, if he definitely couldn�t have been killed in the house, where was he killed? MACKENZIE Any one of about a hundred places within five minutes of the water. COLIN Okay. Maybe let�s focus on the things we know. I spent most of last night unravelling the mess that is Grant Edgar�s finances. MACKENZIE And? COLIN And ... Stuart Granger was keeping Grant Edgar�s garage afloat to the tune of thirty grand. MACKENZIE Mm-hm. REGGIE I told you, I knew his face, but you didn�t believe me. You doubted me, yeah, because I�m retired, which is pure ageism, sexism and I would not discount homophobic. FELIX Just tell us. REGGIE Okay, Grant Edgar, right, I didn�t teach him. But here he is, in the tennis team, right? Now he couldn�t play tennis to save himself, but he did it because he was obsessed with the captain of the girls� team. MACKENZIE Susan Stirling. REGGIE The princess of Dolphin Cove. PHILOMENA That�s a long time to hold a candle for someone. COLIN In debt to Stuart. COLIN In love with his wife. Last to see him alive. MACKENZIE Yeah, but how did he do it? MACKENZIE Yeah, he�s got a motive. MACKENZIE They�ve all got motives. It�s all we�ve got is motives. It�s like this whole time we�ve been missing something that is right in front of us. REGGIE Like we�re investigating the wrong crime. COLIN Shame we can�t shape the crime to fit the evidence we have. REGGIE That�s what they did in the eighties. Funny story about that, actually, when I was done for the possession. REGGIE I had -- PHILOMENA Hey, hey, hey, hey. Shh. MACKENZIE What if we are investigating the wrong crime? FELIX What�s she -- MACKENZIE If we could fit the crime to the evidence, what crime would that be, and who benefits from it? MACKENZIE Ms Rocco? REGGIE Yeah? MACKENZIE You�re a genius. REGGIE I�ve been saying that all along. MACKENZIE Come on. COLIN Seriously, what are we doing? MACKENZIE Reggie was right. It�s the wrong crime, it�s the wrong victim, wrong location. MACKENZIE It doesn�t make sense. How could Stuart Granger never leave the house, yet show up murdered on the beach? SUSAN I�m sorry, I don�t mean to be rude, but I have a journalist and a photographer here, now that we can finally present that trophy. MACKENZIE No sense at all, until you look at it from the other direction. MACKENZIE Stuart was murdered, but he wasn�t meant to be. MACKENZIE Let�s look at his behaviour on the day of his death. MACKENZIE A publicly announced appointment ... STUART So, I�ve got a two o�clock at Hillside Circuit. MACKENZIE ... at a house with prominent security cameras that he knew better than anyone, because he�d done his research. He knew what those cameras could see and what they couldn�t. MACKENZIE Stuart wasn�t showing a buyer around. His buyer had no interest in the house. I mean, he couldn�t afford it even if he did. No, Stuart was creating an alibi. BECKY Why? MACKENZIE So he could kill his wife. MACKENZIE And he had the perfect patsy: Grant, who had a divorce to pay for, needed Stuart�s money to stay afloat. All he had to do was wait in the house as Stewart escaped through the sliding doors ... STUART Thanks mate. MACKENZIE ... out of sight from the cameras, run down to the clifftop where he planned to intercept Susan on her regular run ... ... and push her off the cliff. MACKENZIE A tragic fall from a notoriously uneven track. He�d then return to the house, come back in through the door and leave, with Grant, in full view of the cameras. MACKENZIE Wife dead, alibi intact. Free to marry Becky, raise their baby, and inherit all that Stirling money. MACKENZIE But Stuart never came back through that door, because someone got to him first. MACKENZIE You really hated him, didn�t you? Being under his thumb and doing his bidding. GRANT I didn�t kill him. MACKENZIE No. But you helped. MACKENZIE You locked him out. MACKENZIE Ruining his alibi, confusing the investigation, but most importantly, you told Susan what Stuart was planning, because you�ve loved her since Year 11. MACKENZIE And you. MACKENZIE Well, you did what you had to do. MACKENZIE With a generic kitchen knife. MACKENZIE When we figured out, oh, you were the more logical victim, we looked at the track to the water and it turns out that bush track, it winds around to the clifftop, which you know well from your regular run. SUSAN So I ran along the cliff. You don�t have a shred of proof that Stuart was anywhere near there. MACKENZIE Or do I? COLIN Susan -- MACKENZIE Ah, stop. The one hole in Stuart�s plan: why did he trust you? MACKENZIE Why did he assume that you wouldn�t tell Susan? SUSAN Because he never understood that the world didn�t revolve around him. SUSAN The Stirlings built this town. SUSAN We were here long before you and your family, Mackenzie Clarke. SUSAN And our name will endure when everyone in this room has been forgotten. SUSAN In the history books, on the street signs, on that trophy. This is our legacy. Stuart put all of this at risk. MACKENZIE How�s that legacy looking now? COLIN Susan Stirling, you�re under arrest for the murder of Stuart Granger. I have to inform you, you do not have to say or do anything, but anything you do or say may be used in evidence. Do you understand? REGGIE Doesn�t have to look so boring, you know. FELIX It�s a murder board. REGGIE Yeah, but that doesn�t mean it can�t pop a bit. PHILOMENA So ah, that�s it? MACKENZIE Yep, looks like it. PHILOMENA Well. Fun while it lasted. MACKENZIE Mmm. Like walking on a rainbow. PHILOMENA Look, I ah -- MACKENZIE Oh! REGGIE Good luck, honey. MACKENZIE But, Felix -- FELIX Mack. MACKENZIE Colin? MACKENZIE Yesterday you bought me a coffee and I threw it in the bin. MACKENZIE That was rude. COLIN No big deal. It�s fine. MACKENZIE I�m not really a people person. COLIN You don�t say. COLIN Good luck back in London, and thanks for showing me your house. MACKENZIE Actually, it�s going to need a tenant. COLIN Me? I ... I could never afford it. MACKENZIE Oh, just pay what you want. I don�t care. COLIN Oh! Thank you so, so much. COLIN I take it back about you being weird. MACKENZIE You never said I was weird. COLIN Um, figure of speech. MACKENZIE Okay. COLIN Oh, best of luck and thank you again, forever, for the house. MACKENZIE Hi, gorgeous. Hello. Hi, gorgeous. Yeah. MACKENZIE She really didn�t get that big in the end. GLENN Thought I�d drop these off at the Brotherhood in Red Bluff. Since Op Shop Madge shafted you. MACKENZIE Yeah, was she always that mean? GLENN Pretty much. GLENN So, does that mean -- MACKENZIE Yep. Back to London. MACKENZIE They�ll be missing me. GLENN Better get moving then. Good to ... see ya. MACKENZIE Okay. PHILOMENA Ah, thought we�d do this here, away from the station. PHILOMENA I dropped DI Mooney a line at New Scotland Yard, just to say how useful you�d been, extend my thanks. PHILOMENA Apparently you�re under suspension. MACKENZIE I�m not. PHILOMENA Well you would have been if you hadn�t jumped on the first plane home with your warrant card. Oh, DI Mooney asked me to relieve you of that. MACKENZIE I can explain. PHILOMENA Tampering with evidence? MACKENZIE I didn�t. I was stitched up. The evidence went missing. PHILOMENA Ah. So you ran away. MACKENZIE I would never do that. PHILOMENA Ha. Oh, well you have. MACKENZIE I would never tamper with evidence. PHILOMENA I know. I know. Still ... What are you gonna do? MACKENZIE Jack�s sorting it. PHILOMENA There�s gonna be an inquiry, Mackenzie. It�s gonna take months. They won�t let you work while that�s happening. I mean, you�d be lucky to work there ever again. MACKENZIE I�ll find a job somewhere. PHILOMENA Oh, where? What are they going to hear when they ring up DI Mooney for a reference? The only station in the whole of Australia that will employ you. There�s one. Even temporarily. MACKENZIE I don�t have to be a detective. PHILOMENA Oh! Oh. Oh, you would die, Mackenzie Clarke. MACKENZIE I moved halfway around the world to get away from Dolphin Cove. Why would I ever work here again? PHILOMENA Look at this. Why would you ever work anywhere else? PHILOMENA See you in the morning. Oh, could you bring in some milk?
