Hello. Looking very pleased with yourself.

Yes, well, walking, Harold. It's good for the soul.

Wow. 8,000 steps. Not even lunchtime.

Wow, good for you.

What you got?

Lulu Vandervorn.

Rich socialite divorcée.

Was found dead on the beach at Johnson's Bay.

Lulu was on her way to a perfume launch party

but never showed up.

Couple of early morning swimmers found her.

Blood alcohol was through the roof,

but official cause of death was dry drowning.

Champagne on the lungs.

Anything else in her system?

Nope.

Coroner's ruled it death by misadventure,

but several hours before she died

have never been accounted for.

Early morning Pilates class and lunch

and a walk with her friend, Bridget Sandler.

Works in PR.

As of a couple of months ago,

lived with Lulu as a flatmate.

Around 2:00,

Bridget left to set up the perfume launch.

Said she'd meet Lulu there at 7:00.

We're assuming Lulu went home and got changed.

But then no sign of her until the beach.

Nothing on camera?

Vandalizing cameras at Johnson's Bay

is somewhat of a sport.

Oh, nudie rudie Johnson's Bay. Got it.

Victim was fully clothed, by the way.

I don't know, Harry, if it looks like a duck,

tastes like a duck...

Yeah, yeah. Party girl partied too hard, right?

I'm afraid I agree with the coroner.

How come you don't?

Because, sure, it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck.

But maybe it's a cat.

It's a very handsome cat. Who's this?

His name's Cruz.

He's Lulu's fur child,

and he just inherited her entire fortune.

Lucky floof.

Cruz's appointed guardian,

Lulu's newish friend -- Bridget Sandler.

Well, somebody landed on their feet.

Or paws.

I doubt the cat killed his mama.

♪♪

The whole fortune -- house, money, everything --

left to the cat?

It's not so strange. Chowder's the best person I know.

Yeah, but you wouldn't do that, would you?

Oh, you better get sucking up.

Oh, good boy.

Ain't you just the cutest little button and...

So, what is dry drowning, exactly?

It's drinking so enthusiastically

that she inhaled champagne into her lungs.

Vocal cords spasmed, cut off her airways.

And she has no history of issues?

No, she went straight from Pilates

and power walking to this.

The coroner thinks she died between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.,

and she was last seen around 2:00 that afternoon?

So that gives us four hours unaccounted for,

given that she left her phone at home that day.

But bank statements and receipts show her last transaction

was two coffees at Compulsion Café at 2:44 p.m.

So that's three hours to fill.

You get to the café, see what you can find.

Wait. What will you do?

I'm going to see a lady about a cat.

♪♪

Madison: Is it amazing?

Uh, yeah.

It looked amazing online.

Oh, I love what Cruz has done with the place.

So the café staff didn't recognize Lulu from the photo,

so she wasn't a regular,

which is backed up by her bank records.

She only ever made that one transaction here.

Be good to know who she was with.

The one CCTV camera is facing a car park around the corner.

There's nothing on the strip of shops.

See you at home.See ya.

Can I help you?

I'm here to see the landlord.

You know, the cat.

Bridget, what is PR, anyway?

I've never really figured it out.

It's a moveable feast, doll.

For me, general comms, social marketing, events,

damage control.

Damage control?

For high profile people

who need negative attention to go away.

Oh, like Lulu?

Oh, God, no.

No, she was squeaky clean. All about helping people.

My husband left me six months ago.

Took everything. Never saw it coming.

Lulu picked me up, took me in, and put me back together again.

Well, it's quite a reversal of fortune.

For the record, I had no idea

that she would leave me to look after Cruz and his inheritance.

[Cat meowing]

Ah, there he is.

He doesn't like me.

So, what happens to the estate after Cruz

uses up his ninth life?

Lulu's favorite animal-protection charity.

Yeah, the house and everything.

How much did Lulu drink at lunch the afternoon she died?

Nothing.

We were more interested in water

after Pilates and walking.

So you had lunch, you said goodbye about 2:00,

and that was the last you ever saw of her.

I'm sorry.

It was just a really great day before...

I miss her.

Oh, that's a nice photo.

Can you send that to me?

Yeah.

No. No.

[Gasps] Ooh. That one.

Are you gonna share what's going on in your brain at some point?

Zoom in.

Oh, I knew it!

Which translated into normal colleague-to-colleague,

non-control-freak language means?

This photo was taken the same day she died.

Spot the difference?

Her hair. She's had her hair done.

Her roots have been retouched.

Well, three hours is more than enough.

And I don't think Lulu's the do-it-at-home kind of gal.

But we already know there's no bank transaction

with a hairdresser on the day she died.

She could have paid cash.Could have.

But I'm assuming that Lulu had a regular salon,

so keep looking back.

Oh, rewind to see that car again.

Fast-forward.

[Taps key]

In 22 seconds, no car.

And still no car.

Maybe it was a nudie swimmer.

Parked the car and went in for an early morning dip?

No, I've seen that car before.

And?

And now I see it again a full 17 minutes later.

Enough time to drag a body to the beach.

Oh, more than enough.

Wait, why is that amusing?

Oh, you know who it is, don't you?

[Knock on door]

We're closed.

Whatever now?

[Vocalizing]

I hope you don't mind, but I thought that maybe

we should celebrate a little.

You see, I think I've figured a few things out.

The stage is yours, Alexa,

but you might need to up your game.

You were pretty rubbish at pretending to be Lulu's friend.

Well, guess that makes two of us.

Hey, maybe we could have some champagne laybacks.

You know, like the tequila ones

in the party photos in your staff room.

Yeah, my industry has been known to have wild times,

but most of us grew out of it.

After all, there's nothing more undignified

than a person of advanced years overindulging,

especially if they end up dead on a beach

with too much alcohol in your system.

Except Lulu wasn't actually like that, was she?

She was more into Pilates and power walks.

Who knows what happens behind closed doors?

Well, actually, I kind of think I do.

You see, about six months ago, Lulu, your favorite client,

started having secret meetings with your star stylist.

They shared secrets --

Secrets you couldn't hear

despite your habit of recording your clients

because they held their meetings off-site, away from here.

You started to get worried. Paranoid.

Somebody had been looking at your database,

so you changed the password.

But was it too late?

You had your suspicions.

So you asked Jett one day to come and do

a little bit of extra color consulting, and he couldn't.

He was too busy. So you followed him.

You saw Jett and Lulu going into their new premises,

and your fears were confirmed.

He was leaving you. They both were.

CCTV caught you watching.

Now, granted, the picture's not great,

but, oh, you should see the body language.

It's a little bit like right now.

You were fuming, weren't you?

You were ready to explode.

Just hold a minute.

Just getting to the good stuff.

There's no record of Lulu organizing to do her hair

before the party she never made it to.

So I'm guessing she just showed up.

Lulu walked right into your little salon of horrors,

didn't she?

Does that sound about right?

I don't know. You're telling a fairy tale.

Lulu wanted her roots done,

and you were more than happy to oblige.

You offered her a wee drink.

Poor Lulu, she'd signed the lease for Jett's salon,

and she wanted to come clean with you.

Big mistake.

She had no idea how badly her friend was going to take it.

You were taking the color off,

and she was lying there, vulnerable.

You saw your chance and you took it.

Held her down, emptied the bottle

down her throat until she choked.

I was at the perfume launch. Dozens of people saw me.

I even made the social pages, for God's sake.

Yeah, you managed to get your face in front of

quite a lot of cameras that night, didn't you?

Except for one.

One very special camera

about which you had some insider knowledge.

Man: Honestly, Lawrence,

Johnson's Bay's been a nightmare.

Lawrence: People complaining about the nudists?

No, the nudists complaining every time

we fix the CCTV cameras.

I mean, we've just had to give up.

Now, that was very handy, wasn't it?

And Trinity left her car here overnight so she could party,

which meant that you could take it,

get to the Johnson's Bay blind spot,

and no one would ever know it was you.

So you dumped Lulu's body at the beach.

You came back here, you tied it up,

and you went on with your day.

So I killed her and then finished her hair?

It's laughable.

No one's going to believe that.

Oh, I think that the cops will believe it

after they get the results back

from the forensic sweep of Trinity's car.

I mean, you know, Lulu in the boot,

you in the front.

You do the math.

No, I don't really like the way

that you're holding those scissors, Lazza.

Didn't anybody teach you the safe way?

Those cameras still haven't been fixed.

And Trinity's wee car is still outside.

This is the first time you've held scissors in ages, isn't it?

After all, Jett did all the work.

Don't poke the bear, Alexa.

Especially when he's holding this.

Aah!

[Laughs] Oh! Okay! Whoa! What a shot.

I was aiming for your head,

but that'll do, Larry, that'll do.

Ah, you're a madwoman!

With excellent aim.

Harry, don't slip on the floor. Someone spilled champagne.

Thanks, Alexa.

G'day, Lawrence.

What are we doing this for?

It's team building.

Feels more like punishment.

It's an opportunity to practice being vulnerable

and less control freak.

You first.

Madison, come on.

Not if you're looking.

Whatever.

[Laughing]

So Cruz the cat is investing in Jett's salon.

I call that a great result.

Madison?

Madison.

See you later. [Laughs]

Madison, you come back here!
