SHE GASPS

Good morning. Kalimera.

MAN SPEAKS GREEK

THEY CHUCKLE

Er, sorry, my Greek is a little rusty.

Where you like to go today? Athens ferry port.

What island you go to? Er, Aegina.

Ah, Aegina. It's very nice.

So I've heard.

First time there?

Yeah. My, erm... My parents are from there.

Back to visit, eh?

Something like that.

SHIRLEY: Ah, no! I've been robbed.

SHE SIGHS

SOFTLY: Oh, God.

Where is it? Where is it?

Oh, God.

SHE SIGHS

I don't want to stay at Dad's at the weekends, Mum.

All my going out stuff is here.

I will bring over whatever you need, sweetheart.

Just let me know.

But I don't know what I need until I'm getting ready, do I?

It depends on what everyone else is wearing.

Don't... Mum, I just brushed it.

Are you sure?

HELEN: Did they take anything? Mm...

Nah, nothing to take, really.

I've got cubby holes for my essentials,

and I always keep my phone on me when I'm showering.

Oh, no, no, no, I don't want to know.

You can't stay there any more.

Oh, that's so awesome, sis.

No, no, no, I don't mean my place. Mine is-is very small.

I only have my room and Thalia's room.

Which is, er... sitting pretty empty right now.

Mind you, I guess when your mum comes over,

she'll always have somewhere to crash then, won't she?

And you two, you know, now Thalia's not there,

can have a bonding session every night.

That'll be nice, won't it?

Fine. You can stay in Thalia's room while she's at Nicos'.

Got a deal.

Cheers. Oh, no, no, no, we don't do this in Greece.

It's-It's bad luck, actually. Oh... OK.

VOICE OF NICK'S MOTHER: 'For a tiny island,

'I remember Aegina being full of life.

'There were always children squealing and chickens squawking

'and old women in aprons and headscarves

'shooing both from around their feet

'as they hung the washing out beneath a cloudless sky.'

I want you to catalogue

the older boxes of case files in the storeroom.

They are being transferred to Central Office later this week.

Captain, could not Doukakis or even Maria...

They are busy. I'm sure they are, but you see,

with all the press and the photographers from my previous case

slowing down my movements...

Not enjoying your 15 minutes of fame, then?

I would have thought that, er, being a part

of such a high-profile case would appeal to you...

being an English detective.

With all due respect, Captain,

I was only in the UK for a few years,

so I would hardly consider myself English

in any form, detective or not.

Besides, policing in the UK

is not much different from policing here in Greece -

we're all trying to do the best, our job.

And that is precisely what I expect from you here.

Thorough filing is an important part of policing,

and nobody wants to promote...

How you say in English?

..a detective with sloppy habits.

Besides...

you need to lay low for a while.

We can't have a media frenzy on our doorstep.

Thank you, sir.

How's the salad? Huh? I made it myself.

THEY CHUCKLE

Anything you want, at all, anything you want - call me, Spiros!

I come straight over! Just a moment.

Look at these salads. They look limp!

Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose, woman?

English, in front of Dora.

Sorry, I forgot. Yannis called. He's going to be late tonight.

The hotel asked him to stay one more day for work.

Work? HE SCOFFS

You expect me to believe that?

It is always the same with him - drinking from bar to bar.

He cannot be trusted.

He would drink all my profit.

You don't mean that. Don't I?

When I make my will...

he is not getting his hands on this place or the house when I'm gone.

How can you say that? It's his birthright.

This is my father's. And now it's mine.

Yannis is not my first-born son.

That boy parties all over Greece while I work my fingers to... bone!

He's our son, Spiro. Are you sure?

Hmm?

You and that fisherman got very close when he was on the island.

HE CHUCKLES You think I forget this?

But he was my friend. Friend, eh?

Maybe I shall hire a solicitor in England to look for my first son.

Why are you saying these things?

Because the son you bore me is a fool!

And if Yannis is not coming back this evening,

you will have to stay and help me serve.

But I have the, er... the wives' sewing club tonight.

What do I care of your sewing club?

It's the only thing I have, Spiro.

All you have? HE CHUCKLES

You have this good life.

A life I give you and your precious, no-good son.

Give me the wine. We need more wine outside.

Me. Only me. Always me!

WOMAN: Mr Georgiou?

Mr Georgiou? Miss Alexandrou.

Hyra, please. Hyra.

I'm Nick. Erm... I'm really relieved to see you, actually.

I was a little worried about hiring a boat rather than a hotel.

Really? Well, it's an unusual decision.

I understand. For all you knew,

I could've been any old fraudster on the internet

with some photos of a ship. HE LAUGHS

I think she's perfect.

Er, permission to come aboard? Granted.

You've already got the lingo down. I've just always wanted to say it.

Oof!

I take it you don't sail. Ah, no, no.

There is no water within 20 miles of my house bigger than a duck pond.

As you can see, this is quite a bit bigger than a duck pond. Mm-hm.

But I hope you'll feel at home here. I hope so, too.

You can swim, though, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I won't be winning any swimming competitions, but I can stay afloat.

And I've been told that I have the perfect backstroke.

SHE LAUGHS Do you want to take a look inside?

Yeah.

PHONE BUZZES

Mama. What do you need to know?

It's just that, erm, I found something.

What did you find?

Some old case notes, er, from 1996.

And what do these case notes say?

The paperwork has been, erm, separated,

so I can't really piece it all together just yet.

Then don't.

Put it back where you found it and stay out of trouble!

I thought you were trying for a promotion?

I am, but... it is, you know...

What is the captain going to say when you're wasting time

sniffing around old files?!

Well, it was Spiteri that said I had to.

Really?

Yeah. I'm sorting out old paperwork going back to the '80s, really...

so that the archivist can come and collect it.

Should a detective be doing that?

He seems to think that I should.

Anyway, I just want to know which month...

I thought we finished with all this, moro mou?

Mum, I'm not trying to...

If you love me, leave this alone. Please don't torture me.

I just want to know which month it was, Mama.

It was April, OK? It was April.

And now my heart is beating like a hammer.

And-And-And... Are you happy now?!

Mama... I am sorry, signomi.

Anyway, my friend is here and I have to go, I'm late. Bye.

Bye, Mama.

That's-That's really pretty.

Not sure pretty, but definitely practical.

Diabetes. Sorry.

Oh, no worries, I've had it my whole life.

Erm, tell me about this book. What's it about?

Er, yeah... Well, it's kind of like a memoir

based on some of my mum's poems.

She was born here. She grew up with my father,

and then in their early 20s,

they left for the big city, and they never came back,

would you believe it?

I absolutely would.

It took me many years to get back here after studying in the States,

but my father became ill,

and it's a family business, so I had to come back.

Sounds like a lot of responsibility.

It can be, but there are definitely worse jobs.

Mm, yeah. Do you still have family here?

My father has a brother...

..but I don't know if him or his family are even still on the island.

It's been, like, half a century.

Not everybody leaves. Erm, what's his name?

Spiros. Er, Spiros Georgiou.

Spiros... Does he own a restaurant?

Ah... I don't know. I think so, maybe?

Do you know him?

Small island. Everybody knows everybody.

Er, are you going to visit him while you're here?

Well, I don't really know him.

Erm, my parents never really spoke much of their relatives.

The reason that I'm here

is that I've come to scatter my parents' ashes

on the shallow waters of Aegina.

OK, that's why the boat. Yeah, that's why the boat.

Yes. I thought when I got here that I could sail her, but it's...

Oh...

You thought it'd be that easy? Ah, well...

No, I mean, every time I stand up, I get queasy, so, absolutely not.

Don't worry. A night on board and you're gonna get your sea legs.

Do you promise? Ah, no.

THEY LAUGH

Well, I, erm... I hate to ask, but would you be able to...

Absolutely. Erm, I would love to take you around

and find a nice place for you to scatter their ashes and say goodbye.

Thank you. That means a lot.

PHONE BUZZES I'm sorry, one moment.

Gotta take this. Work. Mm-hm.

Are you all right?

Nico has petitioned...

..with full custody again,

based on that British photographer who followed me home.

A "hostile environment", his solicitor said.

Oh, she'll be right, H.

I mean, it didn't work the first time,

so it's not gonna work the second.

Third. Third time.

He's never gonna give up.

And neither will you. Us "Moussakas" put up a fight!

It's Moustakas, Shirley. It's Moustakas!

That's the spirit. I mean, look at the state of that.

I wouldn't wanna mess with you.

Yeah? We all good?

As good as... it can be.

OK, well, I'll leave you to it.

Shirley? Um...

I, um...

I-I found something, something that, um,

has to do with our father.

It seems that a week before he left,

he was charged with, uh, grand larceny.

Charged with what now?

It's a big theft having to do with either money or gold.

Oh, I gotcha. So, what was he charged with nicking?

The charges were dropped.

But it has to be connected with his disappearance, don't you think?

Uh... Well, wh-what does that lot say?

No information is here, and the paperwork is all mixed up.

And if I don't have the rest, I can't tell you the exact details.

But I think that there must be an interview tape somewhere.

Well... Like-Like this?

Yes, but I've been through that. There's nothing there.

And there's nothing there either on our dad's name.

Or even the whole month of April 1996.

Well, that's a bit sus.

You know, "suspect". Sus.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's VERY suspect.

So, what next?

Nothing.

Nothing next.

Shirley, I'm sorry, but did you just hear what I said?

About Nico?

He's going to take my daughter away from me.

I have to focus on Thalia now.

Yeah.

Yeah, no worries, H. She'll be right.

Everything OK? Yeah.

Just a difficult client. They aren't all as nice as you are.

So, suggestions for dinner tonight?

Honestly, as long as it doesn't have

a picture of an English breakfast outside, you're golden.

HE LAUGHS Er, well...

if you're free, maybe you could...

join me, er, so that I avoid the tourist traps.

OK. No, sorry.

No, no, it's not that. It's just that I have other plans.

My mother and I twice a week go to a sewing club from 7:30 to 10:00.

It's a family thing.

We started it when I came back to the island.

That's really nice.

Yeah, it is.

But it's a small island,

and I'm sure I will see you around the next few days.

That would also be really nice.

And if you need anything for the boat, of course you have my number.

I do.

OK. OK.

What about those?

Well, last five years stay.

Everything before that - pssht - goes.

Can't believe you did all.

Well, me neither.

What about the box that says "1996"?

Put it in the reception. We can't keep it.

The archivist will wonder where it went.

Couldn't we just, like, misplace it for a few days?

No! I'm a detective, Shirley.

I couldn't. Hm?

Of course not, no. Absolutely not.

Yep, yeah. Got it.

Oh, Georgie. G'day.

How you doing? Mm.

Good, Shirley. Thank you. Quiet today. Nobody died.

Oh, that's good to know. Mm.

Have you got a minute or three?

For you? Always. Oh, you smoothie.

Could you do me a favour?

Could you write down the name Ari Moussaka?

Moussaka? In Greek. Yep.

No! Moustakas. Sorry. My Greek is so bad.

I'm getting better, though. SOFTLY: Moustaka

Yeah.

OK.

So, what I want you to do, I don't want you to have to read anything,

but I'd just like you to scan through this stuff,

and we're looking for that name. OK.

NICK'S MOTHER: 'My darling Dimitri,

'who nurtured you from birth to manhood,

'was the best of fathers.

'But it is time you knew

'that he is not the man whose seed brought you into this world.

'That man's name I cannot bear to utter.'

SPEAKING GREEK

Spiros, Spiros!

SPEAKING GREEK

I'm coming! Moment.

Thank you. Bye. Come again.

VOICE OF NICK'S MOTHER: 'I fell for Spiros's charm,

'and I believed we would be married.

'But he tricked me.

'And when I found myself pregnant, he refused to acknowledge it.

'If you must meet him, I beg of you,

'do not be fooled by his charm.

'He is a dangerous man.'

Mmm. Mmm.

Oh, they're so good. Mmm.

Mmm! Mmm, yeah.

H... I nearly forgot.

Shirley, what... What does it say?

Did you take this from the station?

You could have me fired!

Oh, yeah, nah. No, we can put it back, good as gold.

It was in one of the boxes they left behind.

Oh! They did?

Yeah. They just left it behind.

What does it say?

It confirms that my dad was, um,

involved in some kind of big heist in Athens.

Ari Moustakas. No, no.

Your father was a good man, a good policeman.

It was all lies. I said so from the beginning.

What do you mean, you have said this from the beginning?

Oh, Mama... You knew?!

Mama, I'm a grown up woman, and I'm a detective.

Surely you could have found a moment throughout my whole life

to tell me that my father was accused of robbery!

I was protecting you. It was bad enough he disappeared.

I didn't want you to think he was a bad man.

What else have you kept from me? Nothing.

And what I did, I did because I put you first.

But you didn't tell me that my father was a criminal.

Your father was NOT a criminal!

She said that it was a setup.

He was set up? Who? Wouldn't be Spiteri...?

No. No, no. I mean...

Spiteri is difficult,

and he's very annoying, VERY annoying, but...

he's an honest man.

He did say that they fell out over something.

Yes, but who frames his friend?

It's a big sentence.

It's more than ten years.

No, th-there's no way Spiteri could have done something like this.

No.

Sorry, friend. We're closed for night.

I'm not your friend.

Well, then...

you are interrupting a hard-working man's dinner.

What do you want with me?

No, wait, let me guess.

Does my no-good son owe you money, hm?

Is that it? Have you come for collect his debt?

HE LAUGHS

You wasted your time coming to me.

I'm not responsible for that idiot.

I'm not here for your son, nor to collect his debts.

Oh.

My father was...

..Dimitri Georgiou.

"Was", eh?

So...

my brother is dead. Hm.

And now you've come looking for your real father?

He was my real father.

Mm.

And still you are here with me.

I am sorry for my brother's death.

Let us toast him.

Take it, take it.

To Dimitri.

God rest his soul.

He was a good man.

He was.

And you're not fit to say his name.

Perhaps not.

Dimitri the Good.

That's what I call him... when we were boys.

Dimitri...

..the Good.

The gentlemen who liked leftovers, your mother included.

HE CRIES OUT

HE LAUGHS

That is a grip you have there!

HE LAUGHS

You are indeed your father's son.

I am not your son!

I'm nothing like you.

No, you're not.

I see your mother in you.

Her sad eyes.

So, you are here for what? For this?

HE LAUGHS

I want nothing to do with you. SPIROS LAUGHS

You'd be the first. All my children want something.

Tell me what you have come for, hm?

To fight?

You don't look like a man who fights.

Perhaps you ARE Dimitri's son.

A man without strength.

Ooh-hoo-hoo.

Well, look what you've done.

My wife will have to wash it.

It seems I can't hold my wine like I used to.

I feel sorry for your wife. Don't.

She's a fool.

And she gave me a son...

which is fool, too.

A dim-witted creature, like his mother.

Now...

..your mother...

oh, she was a woman.

Do you think Papa will like it?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Very good, very. He will love it.

It's 10:00. I have to go. Good night.

Kalinychta.

Mum, you can go ahead. I have to meet with a client.

It'll only take, like, 20 minutes, but tell Papa I'm coming, OK?

OK, darling.

See you later.

Nick. Oh, I was just out for a drink.

At the taverna?

No. I was on the boat, and then I just went for a walk.

Oh, my God, your hand is bleeding. It is?

So it is. You should get that checked out.

Oh, no, no, it's fine, it's fine. I'll just put a plaster on it.

Are there any on the boat?

Yes, there's a first aid kit in the galley.

Will you be all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll...

fix up my hand and close my eyes and go to sleep.

Good night. OK. Good night.

KNOCK AT DOOR

GEORGE: 'There has been a suspicious death in Aegina.

'I need you to go.' HELEN: 'Yes, Captain.'

Detective Moustakas?

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. G'day.

Hi. Uh, this is my assistant.

I'm Shirley. Hyra Alexandrou.

So, Hyra, have you been living on the island long?

I grew up here. I went away for many years to study,

but I've been living the past couple of years back here.

Ah, great. And your family is on the island?

Yes, my parents.

So, the crime scene, is it... is it far from here?

The taverna is about a five-minute drive.

Did you know the victim?

No, not personally.

It's a small island, so I thought that maybe you would have known him.

He's quite a bit older than me. More my parents' age.

So maybe your parents knew him?

I couldn't say, but the car is right over here.

OK, we'll follow you. Thank you, Hyra.

We have a bloodstained handprint on the left-hand side of the victim.

No blood on the victim's hands.

Clearly somebody else's.

We have the bruise here

on the right-hand side of the victim's head,

which could possibly be the cause of death.

And there is a broken vase in the corner

which could possibly be the weapon used.

MUTTERS: I don't know.

Helen, Shirley.

Doukakis called me and told me you were on your way.

So, I'll just... Yeah, yeah, fine.

Just don't touch anything, and don't destroy my crime scene.

Thank you. OK.

Spiros Georgiou, the owner.

Found dead by one of the local fishermen

who was delivering the day's seafood order shortly before dawn.

What have you found so far?

Well, there seems to be abrasions and bruises on the side of his head.

The, erm... Temple?

The temple, yes.

Which means he could have fallen and hit his head on the table, or...

..he could have been struck.

Struck? With the amphora?

Perhaps.

Hard enough to kill him?

Well, once we move the body, we will know more.

How long?

The removal team will take him to the hospital mortuary at Argos.

Now, there is a lab set up there.

I will take some of the samples back with me to Athens

once we've photographed and examined the body.

SHE SNIFFS

Oh, jeez.

I-I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist it.

It's, like, hard out the best "balaclava" I've ever eaten.

I'm glad you like it. What did you make it with?

It's honey. Mm-hm.

And, um...

Come, I show you. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you mind?

Can I take this? Yes.

Actually, there was someone.

There's a private client who I rented a boat to.

Nice man.

He was unsteady on his feet, and he said he'd cut his hand.

A tourist having too much to drink on holiday.

Well, this is not unusual at all.

It's just that he was heading from the direction of the taverna.

And, um... What is it, Hyra?

He said he was related to Spiros and he might visit him.

I see.

Well, in that case, we really need to speak to him.

Thank you so much. Can you give me his details?

Sure. Thank you.

OK. You two, are you OK there?

Yep, yep. Pen here's just showing me her herb garden.

I haven't got a clue what she's saying,

but we're getting on like a house on fire.

She said that the whole area is covered with herbs and plants

that she uses every day in her cooking,

and she takes them from here.

Ah! Oh, and I bet for medicine, too,

cos I saw a poroporo plant over there.

What? Poroporo plant.

Never heard of it.

Oh, they're like, um, they've got little berries.

They kind of go green, then they go yellow, and then they go red.

Are they edible?

There's one here.

Oh, yes.

Mm-hm. This is poroporo.

Oh, yeah. Beautiful flower.

No. No?

No. Not good for you.

Can't eat those.

She's in a shock.

Well, do you think, Detective Moussaka (?)

I mean, she just found her husband dead as a doornail on the floor.

Listen to me. It's Moustakas.

Moustakas, for goodness' sake!

That's what I said.

Anyway, I came to tell you

that I have to speak to a potential witness on the jetty.

An officer will give me a lift there. OK?

Righto, righto. I'll just get the old girl back.

Ari Moussaka?

I recognise you now.

You're the one that saw his picture and you recognised him, didn't you?

You're the lady.

Yes. So you know Ari?

PHONE BUZZES

Alexa?

SHE SIGHS

Can you please tell me how you spent your evening last night?

Erm, yeah, yeah. Er...

I was here, er, mostly. Reading.

I had a glass or two.

It's been a while since I've had the Greek stuff.

Er, it's stronger than I remember.

Well, it is strong, yes. That's true.

You said "mostly"?

Yeah. No, I went for a walk at some point.

A walk?

Where, exactly?

I don't remember. Like, er, I can't recall.

Could it be near the taverna up the hill, maybe?

What's this about?

Spiros Georgiou, the owner of the taverna,

is a relative of yours, isn't he?

Yeah. Not one that I want anything to do with.

Mm. Well...

he was found dead this morning.

A witness saw you near the taverna

in a very agitated fashion with blood on your hand.

I... I broke a glass.

I-I WAS at the taverna.

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me...

You better come with us, Mr Georgiou.

Let, let... Let me explain.

OK? I went to the taverna just to talk to him.

To talk? Yes. Mm-hm?

To tell him what I, erm...

About what I thought of him, about what he's done to my mum.

Er, I-I pushed him.

That's all. I, erm...

You'll tell us at the station, Mr Georgiou.

I pushed him. He was very, very much alive when I left him.

I heard him laughing at me as I staggered down the hill.

I'm not surprised someone knocked him off.

He sounds like a right old... Shirley!

Go.

Seriously?! I need to talk to you.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I am kind of busy right here.

I was in the village,

and I was looking at plants with the dead man's wife.

She's a nice lady, by the way.

Anyway, the thing is, I reckon she knew Dad.

What? Keep your hair on. I didn't bring it up.

She did. She heard your name,

and she started going all weird and talking about Ari, or...

at least, I think that's what she was saying, at least.

You think?

Yeah, yeah. She said "moussaka". You mean Moustakas?

Exactly. So, therefore, she must have been talking about Ari.

Or she could have been talking about...

Wondering what she wants for dinner?

Nah, H, I've got a hunch she was on about Ari.

She's the same old lady that recognised his picture

and told me where his boat was.

The poor woman just lost her husband.

What did you say to her?

Nothing, nothing. You would have been proud.

OK, listen,

I'm here to investigate a murder, not a disappearance.

You don't ask any questions. You don't speak to witnesses.

Are we clear?

Righto. Thank you!

Don't need to get your knickers in a twist.

I just wanted to tell you what I heard.

Where are you taking me?

We're taking you to the police station in Athens, Mr Georgiou.

I didn't mean to hurt him. Ah...

I was angry.

Hyra, you saw me.

Tell them.

You don't believe I would do something like this, do you? Do you?

Ah! You have to believe me. I didn't come here to hurt anyone.

I came to scatter my parents' ashes, to say goodbye!

Once we get to the station, Mr Georgiou,

you can tell us the whole story.

HELEN:

Look after my stuff for me, please? Please?

PHONE BUZZES

GEORGE: 'Helen. As well as the wine, we found a bloodstain on his shirt.'

'But no, um...' Wound?

'Yes, wound.' So somebody else's blood?

'And also, the damage to his head,

'it does not appear substantial enough

'to have caused a brain aimorragia.'

Haemorrhage.

So, even if he was struck, that wasn't the cause of death?

'We will know more from the autopsy. See you back at base.'

OK. George, I've just given to a police officer, um...

a bandage with a suspect's blood on it.

Can you do a DNA swab for me? 'Of course.'

Thank you, George, I appreciate it.

Hyra, I need to interview the victim's wife - Penelope.

Does she live close to the taverna?

Yes. Mm.

Can I come? I wouldn't mind getting some more "balaclava".

No.

Should I get on the boat with the suspect, then?

OK. If you come, you're gonna keep yourself

completely silent, like, nothing.

Oh, yep. Got it. No breathing.

Yep. Good as gold.

You lead the way. We follow you.

Thank you.

So, how are you?

Do you fancy a cuppa, Pen?

"Cuppa"?

Far out! That's got a kick to it.

PENELOPE SPEAKING IN GREEK

HUSHED: What are you doing?! Oh, jeez Louise!

Don't sneak up on people like that.

Me? What are you doing?

Check it out.

Yeah, OK. It says Helen. So what?

And this! "AM" for Ari Moussaka!

Oh, Shirley, listen...

I'm in the middle of a murder investigation.

My captain is on my case.

My ex-husband wants to take my daughter away

on the basis that I am an unfit mother!

Oh, you're a great mum.

That girl loves you to bits. Even Nico knows that.

OK.

Isn't this an amazing clue?

What it is...

is history.

Oh, come on, H, you can't deny that Pen is somehow connected to Ari.

Shirley...

Stop!

There's something else, isn't there? It's not just the case, is it?

What are you talking about?

Well, just that when my horse pulls on the reins

that strongly, there's something going on with its hoof.

Wow. So I'm a horse now?

H, what's bugging you?

It's my mother. I don't want to upset her again.

I've been obsessed over our father for years as a teenager.

I even trained to become a detective just...

To find him.

It was only when I met Nico and had Thalia

that I came back to some sanity.

It was not fair on Alexa.

OK, I get it.

Gently does it. Yep.

So... that's it, then?

Yeah.

Nah, I'm gonna carry on on the down-low.

The "down-low"? What does that even mean?

No, no. It's fine. I can stay at one of my friends' houses.

Can you pick me up later? I can send you the address.

You too. Bye.

Dad's got a late meeting at work.

Can I stay at yours for a while after school?

Tonight? Yeah.

Sorry. I've got football.

Oh. No biggie. I can ask Katia.

I have her for next period for science class. OK.

Mm? Ugh.

I'll be inside in a sec.

I just need to check on Thalia.

Say g'day from me.

THALIA: 'You've reached the diva.

'Speak now or forever hold your...'

BEEP

Hi, sweetie. Just checking in with you.

How are you doing? I'll try to call you later.

Oh, and Thalia, please change that message.

Love you. Miss you.

So, I've come all this way. I just wanna meet him, you know?

So, what if you don't like him?

Oh. I hadn't thought of that.

Why wouldn't I like him? He's my dad.

I love my father very much, but I'm close to losing him now.

And I think it's wonderful that you try and locate your dad

before he's gone.

Unfortunately, there's no record

of his boat mooring in Aegina for the past five years.

Excuse me a moment. I'm just gonna use the rest room.

Where is Hyra? She went to the dunny.

Oh.

TOILET FLUSHES

Oh, Hyra. We need to get back to Athens.

Is there a quicker way, rather than wait for the next ferry?

Sure. I know a guy. I'll call him right now.

Thank you so much.

Mr Georgiou, Nick, pays me in cash.

Oh. Gotta get to the bank.

OK. Be right back.

I don't want to think about "what if".

Even if I don't like him.

Not that I wouldn't like him.

It's just something that Hyra said.

HYRA: Thank you. That's great.

15 minutes. You'll be back in Athens by the afternoon.

Thank you so much. Are we there?

Well, actually, we're here.

Oh, gosh. There's a lot of islands.

Have you been to them all?

Well, I don't think anyone has been to them all.

Who'd have the time? Exactly.

Time for me to go.

Enjoy football. You're meeting Katia?

Oh, she's got a dentist appointment. See you later.

Later.

HELEN: 'Hi, sweetie. Just checking in with you.

'How are you doing?'

SHIRLEY: Woohoo! Hey!

Oh, can I drive?

HELEN: Absolutely not.

HELEN SPEAKS GREEK

That was wicked, mate! Cheers.

Oh.

Hm.

First time in a speedboat?

Oh, nah. Big John's got one down at the lakes.

Bit different to that one, though.

We tie tyres on the back and chuck the kids on them.

Sounds unsafe.

Oh, no, it's all good.

They can swim, and we put life jackets on them.

So, what's next, partner?

Less of the "partner".

You don't become a detective by osmosis.

All right, keep your hair on.

Well, we need to get back and interview Nikolas Georgiou.

Where did you park the car?

Like... that way.

You don't know where it is, do you?

Yeah, I know where it is. I know where it is.

No, you don't know where it is.

Y-Yeah, I do. Well...

You see? Oh, yeah. Exactly.

That's it. Of course. That's exactly where it is.

Yeah, and do something about that hair of yours. Thank you.

What's wrong with my hair?

Come on. Nothing wrong with my hair.

Mum?

Mum, are you home?

Nice one, Yaya.

So...

Mr Georgiou.

Can you please tell me about your visit to the taverna last night?

Look, I've just lost my mum.

I was upset.

He, um...

He tipped me over the edge, that's all.

How did he do that, Mr Georgiou?

My mum...

had written me these letters.

You mean these letters, Mr Georgiou?

Yes. Thank you.

So... Spiros Georgiou was your father?

How did he react to you visiting him?

CHUCKLES

By insulting my mother.

So you hit him?

No.

No? You didn't touch him?

Well...

I, um...

Ugh. Ah!

SPIROS LAUGHS

Mr Georgiou, I'm afraid as there are no witnesses

to confirm what you're saying to us,

we will have to detain you until we get the autopsy results.

I didn't mean to... to hurt him.

He was alive when I left him.

So you say.

Look... I'm not gonna pretend that I'm sorry that he's dead.

He ruined my mother's life.

He made her leave her home, her family,

and my dad too.

I went to see him, to talk to him,

to say that if he still wanted to hurt her, to...

..punish her...

then he failed.

My mum and my dad had a really good life.

The three of us did.

I just wanted him to know that.

PHONE BUZZES Um. Excuse me.

You have to excuse me for a moment.

IN GREEK:

Hello, hello.

EXAGGERATED AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Hey, g'day!

How you doing?

Seriously?

Yeah. It's friendly, I like it.

OK. Have you calculated the time of death yet?

Well, according to the...

G'day, Georgie. How you doing?

You see?!

Yes, I'm doing fantastic.

Thank you for asking, Shirley. Well?!

From the degree of rigor mortis,

I'd say he died around 11 o'clock, give or take half an hour.

Well, our suspect was seen earlier,

but Spiros could have died a little later from his injuries.

Yes. And one more thing. You know the contusion I saw in his head?

The one you didn't think killed him? Exactly.

Well, following the bruising pattern,

it appears it happened before he stopped breathing.

No other wounds? Nothing I could find.

Did you do the blood tests?

Yes. I'm going as fast as I can. Really.

OK. Please let me know as soon as you can,

because I think that I might have to bring in his wife.

Oh, that'd be a good idea.

Then we could have, like, a little chat about... Uh-uh. No.

OK. Yeah. Good work, Georgie. Couldn't do it without you.

Well done, mate. Yep.

Oh, Papa.

PHONE RINGS

Detective Moustakas? 'Hyra?'

I was wondering if you could arrange a boat for me

to bring Mrs Georgiou to the mainland.

Has something else happened?

Um... I have some more questions for her.

But I thought Nick, Mr Georgiou, was...

I'm afraid I cannot comment on the case at this stage, but...

PHONE SIGNAL CRACKLES Hyra?

Detective?

Detective, are you there?

PHONE BEEPS

SIGHS

Papa, I'm very sorry,

I know I told you I'd stay for dinner, but I have to go.

I'll be back soon, OK? I love you.

Can you believe this? My battery just went dead.

Oh. Did you get to speak to Mrs Georgiou?

There's no point.

With a strong alibi, her involvement in the case is limited.

Why make her wait here all alone?

Thalia. She's back at mine.

But not until her dad can pick her up.

Oh, what's the time?

Oh, it's 7:45. OK. Yeah.

She wouldn't leave without you, would she?

Oh. OK.

Oh... Jeez.

Thalia. Hi, Mum.

I can be there in 20 minutes.

Don't worry, Dad's here now. 'Oh.'

I'm so sorry. I really wanted to see you.

You're busy, I get it. Thalia, I'm never too busy for you.

Well, that's not true, is it?

I'll see you next weekend. Yeah?

Yes. I miss you.

Why weren't you at your friend's?

I wanted to say hi to Mum.

Oh, of course.

Sorry about that, Mr Georgiou. We will continue.

So, what else can you tell me about last night, Mr Georgiou?

No other people? Erm...

I saw, uh, his wife leave the back of the restaurant.

I watched customers leave.

And then I went over to see him.

And after that?

The only other person I saw was Hyra.

What a mistake that turned out to be.

I can't believe she thought I'd kill someone.

Someone you hated.

I don't...

Hm. OK, so maybe I do.

It's not reason enough to kill someone, though, is it?

Yes, for some, it is.

I think we're done for now.

Thank you for your time, Mr Georgiou.

Am I free to go?

If the DNA tests confirm that you didn't touch him,

except the handprint and the jug that hit him...

yes, you're free to go.

But you have to bear with me.

Oh. That isn't pretty.

No. That... is fascinating.

OK, so fill me in.

The blood on Spiros's shirt belongs to Nikolas Georgiou?

Yes, but there was no blood or fingerprints or DNA on the jug.

There was nobody's except Spiros' himself.

Then he died of natural causes and hit himself on the head?

Yeah, that takes some skills.

Maybe. I don't know.

We also found traces of vomit in his trachea.

So, what are you saying? That he choked himself to death?

No. We only found traces. Not enough to block it.

OK. So, in this case, I have to let Nick go.

You know what else I found in Spiros's blood?

If it is a possible cause of death?

Rapid acting insulin, high levels.

It appears he was a diabetic.

Could he have died from this?

I mean, I'd have to check the levels, but maybe.

And we found Solanum aviculare.

Solanum what?

That's what I said. CHUCKLES

Look.

Oh. That's poroporo. Yeah. We've got this back home.

And we have a version of it right here in Greece.

Yeah, I remember now. We saw that up the back of the taverna in "A-gina".

Aegina. Yeah, that's what I said. Again

Do you know, I reckon that Penelope might have been cooking with it.

I just saw some stalks in the rubbish bin

out the back of her place. Are you sure?

Yeah, pretty sure. We've got it everywhere.

My mother-in-law saved my bacon one day when I tried to scoff some.

So, if Solanum aviculare is growing on the hillsides of Aegina,

surely the locals must know of its toxicity.

Yes, but just how toxic?

Oh, extremely toxic.

So, could he have died...?

I'd have to check the levels, but...

I think I have to bring in Mrs Georgiou.

Mr Georgiou, thank you for your time.

You're free to go.

Can someone at least take me back to the island?

Yes, of course. I will arrange with an officer to take you back.

PHONE RINGS

Detective. The boat is on the way.

Great, we will meet it at the marina.

It seems like she already knew you'd be coming.

Honestly, Detective, you have to understand how he treated her.

He was terrible. I mean, he had no conscience.

He didn't care for anybody but himself.

Hyra, there's always a reason.

But what about Nick?

Well, after the DNA tests, there's nothing linking him

to Spiros Georgiou's death.

Penelope has always been so kind to my mother.

And when my father became ill...

Well, she was wonderful to both of us. I owe her a lot.

I understand. I'm so sorry, Hyra.

So, we will meet you there. Thank you.

My sweet girl. I did it for all of us.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

VOICEMAIL MESSAGE PLAYS, BEEP

Hi, Detective.

When you get here, can you please come straight to the boat?

I... I think I found something that might be evidence.

HELEN: I don't know why you insisted on coming.

SHIRLEY: Me and Pen are good mates.

It's on the left. No, it's not.

VOICE OF NICK'S MOTHER: 'If you are reading this, Spiros,

then I am dead.

'The curse you thought you had bestowed on me became a gift.

'And the love shared between me and your brother

'with that gift held tightly between us

'brought me more happiness than I think you will ever know.

'For that, I thank you.'

HE SOBS

SOBBING CONTINUES

I told you it was on the left. No, it's not.

I know where I'm going.

He pushed too much.

He wanted to give my boys' inheritance to his other children.

That's why I gave him the bad food.

He had another child with someone?

I was stupid, I didn't know that he was unfaithful until too late.

Just one other?

Two. Two children. But I gave him the berries.

CHOKING

GROANS

PHONE BUZZES

George!

PHONE BUZZES

Oh. Sorry, Pen. One minute.

So, the plant didn't kill him. There wasn't enough in his system.

It was his diabetes, then?

The levels of insulin in his bloodstream were huge.

Obviously injected.

'But there was no entry point on the body.'

But that 100% is what killed him.

I'll get back to you.

Well, I was actually going to head...

PHONE BEEPS ..home.

Well, it's about time.

How are you doing?

Well, actually, I woke up this morning, and I made my own omelette.

Now I'm just up at Bush Creek doing some eeling.

Really? You made yourself an omelette?

Yes. I made myself an omelette.

How are you getting on with the sock washing?

Ah... Good.

I'm just, uh...

I'm wearing jandals today because it's... it's really warm.

Is wearing jandals to go eeling a good idea, mate?

One of the blighters nearly took Big John's little toe clean off

when he went barefoot.

CHUCKLES

You know, Shirl...

..I really miss you.

And... I think I've got jandal toe.

When you get home,

the Vaseline's in the left-hand drawer in the bathroom.

And read the instructions for the washing machine, Robbie.

Yeah, yeah, I...

Have you found your father yet?

I think I'm getting closer.

Mm. OK.

OK. I'll call you later.

Or tomorrow.

Hey, Shirl, just before you go, I just wanted to talk to you...

Bye. Shirl?

You hung up on me.

Mrs Georgiou, how bad was Spiros's diabetes?

What?

Oh. Sorry about that.

Robbie's got a bad case of jandal toe.

What is... jandal?

Yeah. Jandals. You know, like the sandals

that you put between your toes?

OK. You mean thongs?

Well, he's a good-looking bloke, my Robbie,

but his stripping days are definitely over.

Flip-flops. She means flip-flops. Flip-flops.

Yeah, yeah. That's right.

They can really rub between the toes.

They can give you a nasty pinch. It's not nice.

OK. I think we should go.

Really? HE TUTS

HYRA ON VOICEMAIL: 'Hi, Detective.

'When you get here, can you please come straight to the boat?

'I, um... I think I found something that might be evidence.

'Thanks.'

So, what's gonna happen to Pen?

Well, she didn't kill him.

So, why are we taking her?

She admitted to the attempt, so I have to take her in.

But from what she's told me,

I don't think she's gonna stay there long.

He was a bit of a scallywag, was he?

I will call an officer and they will take her to the police station.

Righto. OK.

OK, let's have a look.

Hmm.

Mr Georgiou?

Mr Georgiou, are you here?

OK, go there. I'll go down.

He's not here. Looks like he had a party for one.

PHONE BUZZES Oh, wait.

Bingo! We have him. Let's go.

OK.

G'day, Hyra. Oh, just locking up.

We're trying to locate Nikolas Georgiou.

Oh, Nick. He's right there.

Oh, OK. Let's go. Righto.

Nikolas Georgiou, don't move! Your hands up!

Nikolas, we found it. There's no point in denying it.

We found the insulin syringe. Hyra found the jug under the bunk.

I'm spreading my parents' ashes.

Where would I find insulin?

Hyra is the diabetic. How do you know?

She wears a...

She wears a silver bracelet on her wrist in case of accidents.

She can't leave the island. Get her!

I'm on it, sis.

CHEERING

Come on! Go, go, go!

Whoa! There's no escape from here.

Penelope told me about the money you gave Spiros.

Was he blackmailing you?

Please don't tell my father.

But he's not your father, Hyra, is he? At least not biologically.

I didn't know until I came back to the island.

I built up my father's business

to pay for his private care because he was ill.

Until Spiros started threatening to tell my father

that his daughter wasn't his daughter,

on his deathbed. Who could do that?

So, when you saw that you were not the only unforgiving child,

you saw your chances, right?

You saw that Nick had an altercation with Spiros at the taverna.

By the time you arrived,

the poison that Penelope had given him had made him collapse.

But he wasn't dead.

It was a perfect opportunity.

You even had someone else to set up.

I just wanted my father to die in peace,

thinking the daughter beside him was his.

I couldn't see any other way out.

Family, eh?

Hyra, you have to follow us. Come on.

How's Pen?

Well, she's happy to have a night off cooking.

Ah, so we can have a wee chat in the morning.

No, no, no, there won't be any talking.

We're going home.

Yeah, no, we're not. ENGINE STARTS

Where are we going, then?

That's a surprise.

What are we doing outside Nicos's apartment

at 10 o'clock in the night?

It's a surprise.

Thalia!
