Standing at Arrivals. You might have to wait a little longer.

Didn't quite make it to the airport.

I stopped to think about something.

Guess that was yesterday.

Aren't you meant to be in London?

Is there something I should be concerned about

as your senior sergeant?

I heard what you said about your feelings. Is that real?

We had our chance, is what I'm saying.

I'm getting married.

I know! SHE CHUCKLES

Now, whatever stopped you getting on that plane

isn't something you just deal with overnight.

What, so you're saying I'm stuck here...again?

I'm afraid so. CALL DISCONNECTS

Bonsoir, Dolphin Cove!

Bonsoir, bonsoir. Ca va?

Oh, there he is.

Hi, darling, how are you?

Please, can you sign? Please?

Oh! SHE LAUGHS

I cannot believe you're back together.

Yes, neither can I. Oh, my God.

There you go, my lovely. Oh, thank you!

Oh! I could die!

I'll have to do it. I can't wait. I'm sorry.

Oh, Steph! Steph! You are a goddess! Aw!

See you tonight, Dolphin Cove!

FEEDBACK SCREECHES

Oh, ho! Whoa! Whoa, ho, ho, whoa! Ooh!

SING-SONGY: Hey, somebody's going to get fired!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Er... I think a cable's just come loose.

Awesome! Awesome! First show in 20 years

and no-one's going to hear us sing.

Forget about Luke's mic, Rob.

No-one wants to hear him sing anyway.

LUKE LAUGHS You're probably right...angel.

Yeah. Not working.

FEEDBACK SCREECHES Ooh...

All right, we can tell, mate.

Just fix it!

I thought you said he had experience, right?

The whole point of sound check is to iron out the kinks!

Oh, yeah! Just cos you're satisfied with the bare minimum.

True. I was with you for long enough.

HE SCOFFS

OK. Sorry, guys.

It's going to be, like, 15 minutes or so.

All right!

Call me when the brains trust has got it sorted out, all right?

What a surprise!

Where's he going? Don't worry about it, mate.

He gets like this with tech issues.

Just give him a minute while we sort out the levels.

Oh...

I left a box of cables in the front row.

Can someone run them up, please?

Just help him out.

Steph, can you play something for us?

STEPH PLAYS NOTES ON KEYBOARD

Jimmy, maybe swap those cables over?

The ones I've got there are on the way out.

Oi, Jimmy! Maybe swap them.

Yeah, I can hear you, mate.

STATIC CRACKLES

First tour in 20 years and we're going in with crappy gear.

Well, I've never had any issues with it.

What do you reckon, Steph?

Still a bit under.

STEPH CONTINUES PLAYING

Needs a bit more go, you think?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Doing it now.

VOLUME INCREASES

How are you going over there, Jimmy?

SWITCHES CLICK

Jimmy!

You OK?

OK.

We have nearly cracked it.

VOLUME STABILISES

How's that?

Perfect.

Got there in the end.

OK, I am ready when you guys are.

Who's game to go and get Luke?

Mm-mm.

He's your brother!

Lukey!

Put the bottle away, mate. Sound's sorted.

Luke...

Victim? Luke Clyborne, lead singer of Point Ruin.

Er... JOINT lead singer, with Stephanie.

I didn't know Point Ruin was still around.

I thought they hated each other.

Oh, that is an oversimplification of a complicated dynamic.

It was their first show in 20 years.

They were onstage doing sound check.

And they chose Dolphin Cove for their first show back?

Mackenzie Anne Clarke! Not my middle name.

How can a daughter of this town not know

this is the birthplace of Point Ruin?

We are on the cover art. Look!

"In misery."

So, Luke Clyborne wasn't happy to be back.

He was being tongue-in-cheek.

Besides, what else would he be doing?

They're only really famous for that song

from the loo roll commercial.

You need to throw him off the case. MACKENZIE SIGHS

What have we got?

Blunt force trauma with that - his guitar.

Looks like any prints are wiped off,

but we're working on it.

Back of the head. Yeah.

Any defensive marks? None visible.

OK, so hit from behind

by someone he didn't expect, or...

Or he turns to flee?

Mmm. Fluff?

Foam.

From what?

From that.

Hmm.

He was wearing headphones when he was attacked.

Explains why he didn't hear his killer.

I had one of those, back in high school.

Yeah.

I remember.

What was he listening to?

Empty.

Where's the tape?

Erm, I haven't seen it.

So the killer took it.

Why?

Who was in the theatre?

Just the band.

Without Luke, I'm nothing! He... He was my other half.

SOBS: I loved him!

Didn't you push him offstage once?

SNIFFS: Twice.

Our relationship was...complex.

Deeper than maybe you can understand.

Do you know anyone that might want to hurt him?

Anybody who's ever tried to write a song.

STEPH CHUCKLES

Incredible tunes just flowed out of him when he was on.

SIGHS: If I wasn't in his band...

..I would have hated him.

I WAS in his band, and sometimes I did.

Guess it's what you're most known for.

Other than the toilet roll advert. Oh, yeah.

You mean, the fighting, the break-ups,

the rehab, the reunions, the break-ups.

Again, if it was so fractious, why re-form?

Ovarian cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, it's too late for treatment, but I'm still feeling good.

Steph laid it out for us. It was now or never.

Can you take us through what happened this afternoon?

Erm...

Sound check started a bit before 4.00.

Sorry, what's your role, exactly?

Ah, sound tech and tour manager...

..and the works.

"Rob...

"..Brisbane." Like Stephanie.

I hired my nephew. So what?

We had a few sound issues, but it was fine.

FEEDBACK SCREECHES I was managing it. Come on!

The sound was a mess. That's why Luke walked off.

Nothing set him off like bad sound,

and he couldn't go half an hour without a whisky.

That's an exaggeration.

What time did he walk off?

A few minutes past 4.00.

And you three, you were in the theatre?

Yep. You two, onstage?

Actually, I was in the booth giving Rob a hand,

wrangling cables like a work-experience kid.

Steph was on piano to get the levels right,

playing perfectly as ever, putting us all to shame.

SHE SCOFFS

Valentine's Day.

It's always been my favourite.

REGGIE: Mine, too.

WHISPERS: Oh. Sorry.

Then...?

JIMMY: Then I had to...go and get him, didn't I?

And there he was.

Mmm.

What time was that?

Sorry...

4.05. I don't know exactly.

No-one else came into the theatre?

Point Ruin sound checks are always band-only.

Did you... Did you see Luke with a Walkman?

Or a tape? A cassette tape?

No. Is this... Is this relevant?

I haven't seen him with a tape since '95.

So, the famously volatile Point Ruin are back in Dolphin Cove,

where it all began.

And before they could even get onstage, Luke's dead.

How would someone get in here?

Front door or back loading bay.

Both locked. Heaps of fans at the back.

Yeah. Bereft, most of them.

They can't believe it.

No-one saw anyone come in or out.

Is that it? Fire door in the corridor leads to the side lane.

Can only open it up from the inside.

So, looks like it was one of the three in the theatre.

But how?

None of them left the theatre.

They've essentially all alibied each other.

Yet, somehow, one of them killed Luke Clyborne with his own guitar.

Impossible.

So you'd think.

Point Ruin!

Takes me back to the early '90s.

Oh, what are you talking about?

They were big in the 2000s.

Well, granted, their high point was their second album...

BOTH: Sanctuary.

..1990, with their biggest hit, Valentine's Day. Look.

Signed.

That's probably worth a fortune now, with Luke gone and Stephanie sick.

Tonight, they were meant to reunite onstage...

PHONE RINGS ..but someone killed Luke Clyborne

before they got the chance.

Sorry about this. I've got the media liaison and press release.

Again?! Well, this is Point Ruin. This is high-profile.

And let's just have a tight ship on this one, everyone.

No-one speaking to anyone. Everything comes through me.

I don't want any wild rumours going around.

REGGIE CHUCKLES

What rumour could be wilder than Luke potentially being murdered

by his band-mates?

Oh, you would be surprised. There was no shortage of 'em.

Luke and Steph, a fiery love story for the ages.

They broke up? Yeah, all the time.

They haven't been together for about 20 years.

Why? Well, it depends who you ask.

Some say he cheated. Some say she did.

Was she on drugs? Was he drinking too much?

You never got the truth with Point Ruin.

You only get the songs. Or...the messages.

These were deleted from Luke's phone. Have a look at them.

"Come to the theatre tomorrow after sound check. 4.00.

"Door in lane will be open."

They reply, "C U then."

So, whoever this was was planning on meeting Luke after sound check?

The number belongs to Claire Barnard.

She's in Dolphin Cove. Ms Barnard?

ALL: The music teacher?

Ah, yeah, well, that makes sense.

Why does that make sense?

Because she used to be in Point Ruin.

What?! She got chucked out. It was very bitter.

Oh! I'm sorry! I thought everyone knew that!

No? Really?

Come on, Colin. Oh!

SHE SIGHS

Oh, Luke...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thanks, everyone.

That last song was for my late ex-collaborator,

Luke Clyborne.

Wherever you are, I hope the whisky's rye, mate.

APPLAUSE Thanks.

Ms Barnard.

SIGHS: Mackenzie Clarke.

Well, I heard you were back.

What was your meeting with Luke Clyborne about?

Never were one for chat, were you?

Er, no idea.

He messaged me out of the blue, said he wanted to meet.

I thought, "Why not? Maybe he wants to apologise."

Because he kicked you out of the band?

We wanted to go down different paths, musically speaking.

Oh. He wanted to make records,

and you wanted to teach kids Hot Cross Buns on the recorder.

Yeah. Well, there's more to life than fame and success.

Since Point Ruin only ever had a little of each,

I never really lost any sleep over it.

What about their second album? That was successful.

Sanctuary? Mmm.

Yeah, that whole album came out of one amazing weekend, actually.

Just the four of us in that old shack over on the headland,

Luke writing all the songs and us all recording the demo.

Here in Dolphin Cove?

When was that? '89.

Steph was just back from rehab.

No-one had seen her in months. She was transformed.

And that whole weekend was true alchemy.

The best songs of our careers.

But you're not on the album credits.

No. Well, you know, I...

I decided to leave the band at the end of that weekend.

Then Luke went on a bender and...

LAUGHS: ..lost the demo!

So, the band recorded it all again from scratch,

and, yeah, I wasn't there.

Is that what Luke wanted to talk about? Old times?

No idea. I never made it to the theatre.

Why not?

It was a lamppost. Austin Street, around 4.00.

Er...

Anyone see it?

Everyone.

Bit of a scene, unfortunately. I'm sure they'll all remember.

You seem nervous.

Well, you know, I'm still a bit shaken.

We're going to check your story, so don't go anywhere.

SCOFFS: You know, you had such a beautiful voice

at school, Mackenzie.

Pity you had the rhythm of a bag of grapes.

Oh, you can't drive that. Why not?

Well, it's not roadworthy.

I'd have to give you an infringement notice.

SHE SCOFFS Call a cab.

Bit... Bit petty.

I do. I have rhythm.

Was that Ms Barnard? Mmm.

Did you know she used to be part of Point Ruin?

Really?

But she's so uncool.

Whilst I've got you,

I would be delighted to attend yours and Daisy's wedding.

Great!

The invitations are lovely. What are they, embossed?

Er... Letterpress. Oh, classy.

And handwritten envelopes.

Reggie reckons calligraphy is a dying art.

Her and Felix can't wait.

OK, then. Er... I'll leave you to it. Mmm.

PHONE RINGS

It's Felix. Felix?

I've been going through Luke's call records, and a couple of days ago,

he rang quite a few different numbers.

Some people he never met before.

And? They're all drummers.

Luke was trying to replace you.

He was calling drummers.

Must have been for something else.

One of his side projects.

He's always got a few going on.

Yeah, he was checking dates for the Point Ruin tour.

Why would he want to replace me?

Maybe it had something to do with your arthritis?

Hurts to squeeze, doesn't it?

Cold water, good for inflammation.

We can just get a warrant for your medical records.

One week into rehearsals, he told me he wanted to replace me.

Said I wasn't up to the level any more.

Nonsense.

All those years waiting to get back together,

and then your own brother's going to replace you

with a different drummer.

Yeah.

Said I could do one more gig.

He had form as well.

Kicking people out the band. Claire Barnard?

What did she tell you? That it was mutual.

Unlikely.

Luke just kicked her out overnight.

One minute, we're playing our hides off,

and the next, she's gone.

She hung around at gigs for years, mooning at Luke.

Didn't even acknowledge her.

Brutal. It's just who he was.

Luke Clyborne, voice of a generation.

I shared a bedroom with him for nine years.

I knew the real Luke.

He had no respect for this band,

and the way he treated Steph, it was awful.

She was his wife. What?

Luke and Steph were married?

Fancy getting married and keeping it a secret from everyone.

First thing tomorrow,

we need to find out if they are still married.

If there's no will, she gets it all.

Mmm. We on?

Trivia night. Are you going to join us?

Ooh! Er...

Look, that might not be the best idea.

Why not? You're... You're smart.

I am extremely smart. However... Yes, on occasions,

I've got competitive and...

..shouted at my team-mates. Abused them, really.

Yes, but who doesn't know the capital of Honduras?

Tegucigalpa. Tegucigalpa.

OK, only one giant nerd per trivia table.

Sorry, those are the rules.

I'll go get us a form.

Think of a witty team name

and get on to Births, Deaths and Marriages

first thing in the morning.

Births, Deaths and Marriages? Oh.

Steph and Luke from Point Ruin.

They were married?

Did I know that?

No-one did, apparently.

I mean, they argued all the time. They broke up constantly.

She pushed him offstage - twice.

I mean, why did they get married?

They made great music.

Must have been something there.

Thank you for your kindness, by the way.

Sparing me a wedding nightmare!

What?

Not inviting me to yours.

Obviously, it would have been incredibly weird to have me there.

I mean, unpleasant, really, for both of us. For me, especially,

because I really hate weddings. And...

..talk with boring relatives - not for me.

I did invite you.

Hmm?

I'm not sparing you that nightmare. You're invited.

No. Glenn, no.

You don't have to invite me. I am happy not to go.

I'm not inviting you now. I did invite you.

We posted the invitation.

Eh?

Ah.

Well, you know, when I said "nightmare",

I didn't mean, you know, NIGHTMARE nightmare,

because, well, a nightmare, it's a type of dream, isn't it?

La Triviata? Hmm.

One of my best, I think you'll agree.

Goodbye, and good luck!

Maybe you didn't hear me, but I've called us La Triviata.

No, yeah. Good one, Colin. Beer?

Yes, definitely.

MOCKINGLY: "Oh, a nightmare's a type of dream, isn't it?"

SHE GROANS

No. No. He didn't.

Oh.

Excuse me, buddy, I think this is meant for me.

Hi. Hi?

Hello. Hi. Mmm.

What time is it?

Er...

8.10. Tomorrow.

Today now, but yes.

Point Ruin, I'm guessing?

I found some of Mum's old tapes.

Sanctuary. I was listening on the way over here.

Valentine's Day is a banger.

Oh, how nice are these!

Letterpress. Blimey!

What happened to this? Snails.

They're a menace.

Absolutely destroyed the basil I've got growing on my balcony

at my place, overlooking the...car park.

Had to actually buy pesto.

It's going to be a lovely day.

Have you RSVP'd yet?

I...

..don't know.

OK.

And now...

..I'm going to get ready for work.

Not getting...any less weird.

Hi, yeah, that's right. Cartwright.

No, no, no... No, don't switch me... Don't...

On hold again. That cassette turn up yet?

Ah, not yet.

Not ever. HE CHUCKLES

We searched the whole theatre.

But I do have Luke's royalty statement.

Wow!

We should all be writing toilet paper commercials.

So, what's that tell us? Luke was worth a lot of money?

Mm-hm. And since we can find no trace of a will,

the person who stands to inherit is his wife.

Oh, and we took witness statements at the Austin Street shops.

Claire Barnard definitely pranged her car

and was on the phone for an hour or so after.

I've still got to talk to Tyler in the sports shop,

but that looks pretty solid.

And I popped into DC Records on our canvassing, too,

and you should have seen the crowd!

Virun had a whole Point Ruin display.

There was memorabilia, rarities, the works

just sort of walking out the door. No way!

This is what just came on the hold music. Huh?

MUSIC ON PHONE: Valentine's Day by Point Ruin

REGGIE MURMURS LYRICS

# Your wings are too weak... # You know this bit?

Yeah. Yeah.

BOTH: # And I need the sky... #

A little bit higher? Oh, yeah.

# And I need the sky... #

Might have been too high. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to go and buy some loo roll now.

Come on! It's beautiful. The little bird,

your wings are too weak, I need the sky.

RIP, Luke. You were a genius.

Come on, Phil!

# And I don't want to leave you... # Here it comes.

# It's Valentine's Day

# And I'm saying goodbye! #

Woo! ON PHONE: Hello, are you there?

Oh. Hello? Hello, yeah. No, still here.

No way.

Well, I-I-I mean, that's great. Can you send that over?

Cheers. Thank you.

Well, you were right.

Marriage took place in 1988.

No record of a divorce.

They're still married.

We meant more to each other than any piece of paper

could ever convey.

Still... It's all yours.

What's that, then?

Some vintage records and a bunch of guitar picks.

He earned somewhere in the ballpark of 1.4 million in royalties

for Valentine's Day.

Higher than I would have thought.

Luke never shared that number with you?

Luke was... SHE SIGHS

He kept that sort of thing to himself.

You didn't get a share?

Why would I? He wrote it. He deserved it.

Look, why would I care about the money?

Who knows? Could be dead in a month.

No-one to leave it to.

Did you know that Luke was back in contact with Claire Barnard?

Weren't angry or...jealous?

I didn't know.

Claire and I weren't rivals.

If I was going to kill him, I would have done it ages ago.

He's given me plenty of reasons to over the years.

I think that's what I'll miss the most.

Hating him?

I never hated him.

I'll miss the energy between us.

This was it.

Our last chance to play together,

to...share some of that magic again...before...

Instead, we're wasting our time talking to you,

when anyone with a brain could tell you

that none of us could have done it.

The stage, the sound booth, right there -

we were all right in front of each other.

So, Steph's there playing Valentine's Day.

Rob here.

And Jimmy... With the cables.

Could one of us get to the greenroom?

Maybe, if you were... If you were quick.

Mmm.

Not without being seen.

What's that? What's that from?

Yeah, I use it to mark my levels.

How long have you been doing this?

Not that long.

Did a few of Steph's solo gigs.

Mmm, and now your aunt's band's reunion tour?

Well, I studied audio engineering, so I know what I'm doing.

Mmm, still... It's a big step-up, though, isn't it? Maybe.

I'm doing my best.

PHONE PINGS Ooh!

Results have come in at the lab. Mmm.

Thank you for showing us around.

Cranio-cerebral trauma resulting in deep contusion,

skull fracture and internal haemorrhage.

Guitar's definitely the murder weapon.

That's it? Pretty much.

He had psoriasis, if that's of interest, on his elbows.

The alcohol would have made it flare up,

but didn't kill him, obviously.

I think it's important, at this point, to...

..reveal this.

I told you. Mmm.

Where was it?

Garden, obviously.

Snails? Mm-hm.

Don't show Daisy. Those things were like $7 each.

Well, they are very nice.

I know it's a nightmare. You hate weddings.

My relatives are boring. I didn't say YOUR relatives.

Just relatives in general.

None, but the two conditions can be linked.

Getting the impression that Luke was a bit of a bully.

Hmm.

But would you kill for that?

Well, Steph inherits it all.

Motive, for sure. Yeah.

But still, they were all in that theatre,

all of them busy, no way for any of them to get backstage. Mmm.

Red feathers, red feathers, red feathers, red feathers...

"Leave a bloody feather..."

Valentine's Day. Right.

"And I don't wanna leave you."

I still don't know why we're doing this. A hunch.

Oh, look at that little fella! Grimsby Town colours.

That is a male scarlet robin.

Robin.

It's what Rob's short for, right?

Yes, Robin Stephen Brisbane.

Uh-huh. What do we know about his mother, Steph's sister?

Er... Penny Brisbane.

Lives in Orange. Rob's her only child.

Father?

None listed on the birth certificate.

No, there wouldn't be.

"Don't want to leave you..." "Your wings are too weak,

"and I need the sky."

Robin Stephen Brisbane.

Felix, what's his date of birth?

14th of February, 1989!

Valentine's Day.

"And I'm saying goodbye."

Steph disappears late '88.

No-one sees her or hears from her

for three or four months.

Claire said she was in rehab, remember?

She gets out of rehab early 1989,

just after Rob is born.

She's his mother.

Then, Point Ruin have a magical weekend,

and Luke writes Valentine's Day,

a song about saying goodbye

and leaving a robin's feather behind.

And he's the father.

MACKENZIE: Who knew?

At the time, only me and Luke.

That weekend we recorded the demo in Dolphin Cove,

I told the others I'd just come back from rehab.

When, in reality,

you were in Orange with your sister, pregnant.

Steph told me...

...right before they announced the reunion tour. She was...

She was dying, and she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

It was a shock.

It was time the truth came out.

Rob coming with us on tour

would give him a chance to get to know his father.

A reason for them to spend time together.

Weren't you angry?

At first, yeah.

They lied to me.

But, it's not like Steph abandoned me.

I had her and Mum. Hmm.

But not your dad.

We'd just released the first album.

We were gaining traction,

and we needed to capitalise on it.

You can't take a baby on the road.

Luke made that very clear.

He wanted nothing to do with Robin.

The rest was up to me.

So, you chose Luke and your career

over your child?

I did everything I could

to let him know he was loved.

What do you mean by that?

I was a part of his life. I still am.

Do I wish it was different? Yes.

But I can't change it.

All I can do is try to make it up to him.

By making him the workhorse for the band.

I wanted it that way.

No special treatment.

Did Luke know who you really were?

That you were his son?

Of course he knew.

But he never acknowledged it.

Luke didn't want anyone to know.

Luke Clyborne, untethered. A free spirit.

But he wrote Valentine's Day.

It's beautiful.

He was always a better musician

than he was a human being.

It's full of regret.

And grief.

It's his apology to your son.

It wasn't his apology.

It was his excuse.

I think Luke was just a messed-up guy who couldn't

handle his feelings. Hmm.

What about your feelings?

Being treated like that by your father?

He rejected you as a baby.

He let you live your entire life

not knowing who your father was.

Not even trying to have a relationship with you.

I didn't need him.

And then, when you and Steph tried to give him

the chance to reconnect, he didn't want to know.

Your own father.

He wasn't my father.

He did me a favour showing me who he really was.

I never got anything from him and I never wanted it.

Some people just aren't meant to be fathers.

Luke denied his existence,

denied him a family,

and then humiliated him.

Is he angry about it? Of course he is!

Hmm, but what does he gain?

Revenge.

Justice, even.

There is still no way he could get

to the greenroom without being seen.

None of them in the theatre could.

And Claire had no time.

And we are still missing a tape.

PHILOMENA: Everyone!

In here, right now!

Did I not stand before you yesterday

and tell you to keep your mouth shut about this case?

Uh, y-yeah.

"Tight ship on this one." I believe that is what I said.

And that means you don't talk to anyone.

And yet...

"Cops Baffled By Point Ruin Murder."

That's by Clementine Clovelly.

Oh, and another quote.

"The police have no idea how Luke

"would have been killed in the greenroom

"when all the suspects were together

"at the theatre at the time of the murder."

Who said that? That was...

..Virun Kumar.

Dolphin Cove Records.

I was reminiscing about Luke

with Virun in his shop yesterday,

and I might have gotten a bit loose-lipped.

Mm, yeah, I think you might have.

So, I'll go and have a word and get him to zip it.

Yeah. No, I think we'd all appreciate that.

I am sorry, everyone.

In my defence, I did tell him to keep it under his hat, so...

Reggie! Going.

I... I'm going.

Thank you, everyone.

Nicely played yesterday, Mackenzie.

What was that?

Whatever you did to get out of the wedding.

Oh, uh, no.

I... I didn't.

I mean, I love my son, I want him to be happy,

but that wedding, it has turned into an extravaganza.

I just can't wait till it's over,

they've got their happily ever after,

and I am in a quiet room with a gin and tonic.

So, you...

You think it's the right thing for me not to be there?

I thought you didn't want to be there.

No, I just...

Hypothetically,

if a person like me...

..was to go to the wedding...

..of a person like Glenn...

..what would that mean?

I expect it would mean...

..they were gracious.

And supported the person who, at one time,

meant a great deal to that person.

Hypothetically.

So, it would be OK for this person to go?

As long as this person didn't ruin it again.

COLIN: Mack, have a look at this.

Noise complaint from the lady that lives next to Luke.

The local station sent it over.

What happened?

A woman outside his house

banging on the windows, threatening him.

Went on for a couple of hours.

Not the first time she's been there, apparently.

Who was it?

Well, they never found out,

but the neighbour said the woman

was wearing a black hat.

Claire Barnard!

She didn't used to be obsessed with him.

She's stalking him now.

Hmm, but she was crashing her car down Austin Street

at the same time. She couldn't have got to the theatre.

Hmm.

PHONE RINGS

It's Felix.

Felix?

She could have got to the theatre,

Claire Barnard. I went back to Austin Street

to talk to Tyler in the sports shop.

His electric car was parked right across the road.

The cameras. They filmed everything.

And I watched the footage back,

and I reckon there's a gap where we can't account for her.

How long? 20 minutes?

Is that enough time for her to get to the theatre and back?

If you run.

All I wanted was a chance to be back in the band.

This isn't about the band.

It's stalking.

Stalking?! Come on!

We were old friends!

You hung around at their gigs

for years after they sacked you, isn't that right?

Yeah. To show my support.

You're obsessed with Luke,

showing up at his house, and he ends up dead.

Except I never got to the theatre.

I crashed my car, remember?

There is a gap in your alibi.

20 minutes. That's enough time to get to the theatre

and murder Luke. Is that what happened?

SHE LAUGHS Oh, right, so you honestly think

I could just walk away from a car accident,

kill Luke, and then just waltz back

like nothing happened?

I think you wouldn't miss the chance

to be in the same room as Luke after all these years.

And that you built up what that meeting might mean

in your mind, and maybe he rejected you,

and then the anger overtook you.

No!

No, all right!

Look, I loved Luke.

OK, fine! Hang me for it!

I could never hurt him.

Anyway, it doesn't matter,

because I never went anywhere near that theatre!

So, I gave Virun one of the old Ms Rocco talking-tos.

He was very apologetic.

He let me in on a little secret by way of apology.

Guess who was in his shop a couple of weeks ago?

Luke Clyborne!

Very incognito, didn't want anyone to know.

Doing what?

Well, Virun's a huge Point Ruin fan.

He's got boxes of memorabilia.

Luke was in town for rehearsal,

and he was dropping by his old haunts,

and he went in and bought a few things.

So, what are we thinking?

It all fits with Claire.

But why would she do it?

HE SCOFFS She was obsessed with him.

She said she was never here.

Yes, but she doesn't have an alibi.

Hmm. OK, OK, OK.

So, say Claire is lying, and she did,

she made it to the theatre, then someone would have...

...seen or heard..

..something.

You're Stephanie, you're onstage.

You're playing the piano. We'll imagine it.

Jimmy, Rob, sound booth.

Jimmy's helping Rob with the cables.

FELIX PLAYS RIFF FROM VALENTINE'S DAY

Ooh! Whoa!

REGGIE: Wow. COLIN: Not bad.

I had lessons for years.

So, if Claire did make it to the theatre...

PLAYS DISCORDANT CHORD Sorry, that key's broken.

Yeah, can you avoid that one,

cos it's killing the vibe?

No.

Don't avoid it.

Play it again.

PLAYS DISCORDANT CHORD

Play it again.

PLAYS DISCORDANT CHORD Again.

SHE CLICKS FINGERS Again.

PLAYS DISCORDANT CHORD Aga...

Ah!

That piano, the weekend...

CLAIRE: Luke went on a bender...

...and lost the demo!

Valentine's Day, huh...

DISCORDANT CHORD

Reggie, what did he buy? Who?

Luke, at the record store.

The box of old Point Ruin memorabilia,

was it a cassette tape? How do you know?

We searched the band, didn't we?

Yeah. And the theatre?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

So, where...?

Well...

There was only one place close enough.

Blimey.

What makes Point Ruin so...

..legendary?

The songs that could capture an era.

The incredible live shows

where anything could happen. But really...

...it's the fizzing tension

..between Steph...

..and Luke.

The push-pull, on-off, love-hate...

..that elevated Point Ruin

beyond just a great band to something...

..magical.

And that magic, it was coming back

to where it all began, to Dolphin Cove,

to this stage where Luke stormed off

to the greenroom during sound check.

Why was that again? The sound wasn't right.

The sound wasn't right,

which Luke could never stand.

So Luke walked off, leaving just Jimmy, Steph and Rob

in the theatre together at the moment of his murder.

Or were they?

Felix?

PLAYS VALENTINE'S DAY

This is what you played, isn't it,

while Jimmy was helping Rob with the sound,

while Luke was being murdered?

The famous keyboard part to Valentine's Day?

I think so. Yeah, it was.

Jimmy heard it.

Jimmy said that your playing was

as "perfect as it ever was".

Putting us all to shame.

What Jimmy didn't hear was...

PLAYS DISCORDANT CHORD That!

A broken key.

Because you weren't playing.

What?!

Of course I was!

Everyone heard me. Well, you were...

...at least at the start.

But with Jimmy out of the way, unable to see the stage,

your accomplice provided your alibi.

Rob, your son.

Who faded up a recording

of you playing the Valentine's Day intro

to just the right volume,

marked with tape on the desk

so it would sound seamless,

giving you the chance to sneak backstage

and murder Luke with his own guitar.

SHE YELLS

But she was talking to him.

Also pre-recorded and timed perfectly.

What do you reckon, Steph?

STEPH: Still a bit under.

Then you made your way back to the stage,

Luke dead, and Rob faded down the recording

so you could pick it up again.

What Claire didn't know is that you were trying to frame her.

She was the perfect candidate -

obsessed with Luke and stalking him.

You sent the text to Claire so she would walk in

on the body and look like the murderer.

But Claire's car accident

meant she never made it to the theatre.

So, the perfect set-up...

..suddenly not so perfect.

Why would I kill Luke? I loved him.

Because he took something that belongs to you.

Valentine's Day.

You wrote it...

..about the most heartbreaking thing you ever did.

Giving up your baby.

Luke made you put the band ahead of your child.

He had no interest in being a father.

Why would he write such a...

..tender goodbye?

But when it came to recording it,

Luke took all the credit.

But why would I let him do that?

Because that song broke your heart.

I think you were fine with no-one putting together

what it was about...

..or who wrote it.

But then, Luke sold it for a commercial.

The most personal piece of art

you ever made, will ever make...

..being used to flog toilet paper for a fortune.

I'm dying. I don't need money.

No, you don't, but Robin does.

You abandoned him, and this was your way

of making it up to him.

So when you found out that Luke had the one thing,

the one thing that would prove that you wrote Valentine's Day,

that would prove how you felt back then...

What is it?

The missing demo tape...

..from that magical weekend in Dolphin Cove, 1989.

Luke found it in Virun's record store a few weeks ago.

Swore Virun to secrecy.

VALENTINE'S DAY PLAYS

STEPH ON TAPE: # Maybe someday It'll be too long

# You'll be up here beside me

# Won't care I was wrong

# And I don't want to leave you

# I don't want to leave you

# It's Valentine's Day

# And I'm saying

# Goodbye... #

STEPH ON TAPE: What do you think, Luke?

LUKE ON TAPE: It's... It's perfect, Steph.

There's nothing I can add to it.

Hmm.

The one thing I can't figure out is...

...how did you know about the demo tape?

It's been missing for so many years.

He showed me.

Because the thing he loved most in this world was torturing me,

having power over me.

So you took it back.

And you hid it in the car before we arrived,

knowing that if we found it on you, it would incriminate you.

And you didn't need much convincing to help,

did you, Rob?

Not when your mum told you the truth about your dad.

That he made her give you up.

That he never wanted you.

That he put his music...

..before his own son.

He's my son!

It's my song!

It's all mine! And he took it!

That's what he did, every day we were in that band.

Our band!

He took everything!

And now, you have it all back.

Was it worth it? FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Yeah.

I should have done it years ago.

COLIN: Stephanie Brisbane...

FELIX: Robin Brisbane...

I'm sorry, little bird,

for everything I've done to you.

COLIN: ..you're under arrest for the murder

of Luke Clyborne. You don't have to say

or do anything. Anything you do say or do

may be used as evidence.

This way, please.

Ah, Steph...

Hey. Hm.

I'm sorry your idol turned out to be a murderer.

It's just another thread in the Point Ruin tapestry.

And I've still got the music,

and that is never going to change.

Shall we, er...

Shall we go for a drink? Yes!

But only if there's a piano.

I want to hear what this bloke's got.

THEY LAUGH

See you later, Mack!

Surf Club, if you want to join.

DOOR CLOSES

All right, so if we put Uncle Chris and Auntie Joan

on the singles table, we might avoid them saying

something that gets me cancelled.

Why are they so obsessed with fluoride in the water?

Oh.

Oh, hey!

Thank you for this.

What happened to it?

Snails...obviously.

Ugh, menace. SHE CHUCKLES

Yeah.

Anyway... CLEARS THROAT

Glenn and Daisy,

thank you for inviting me to your wedding.

I would be delighted to attend.

We would love to have you there.

Oh, you can sit with Uncle Chris and Auntie Joan.

Sure. Drink? Yeah.

What I said about weddings...

It's... It's fine.

Glenn, it won't be a nightmare.

This one will be perfect.

As you deserve.

COLIN: So, have you RSVP'd?

Mm-hm. That's everyone.

We're all going? All going! ALL CHUCKLE

Oh, brilliant. It is going to be a cracking day.

I'm sure. REGGIE: Hmm.

You'll have to get a dress. No.

A pantsuit? No.

New waistcoat?

Maybe. Yeah. Sequins?

FELIX: How about matching? REGGIE: Tie-dye!

CHATTER CONTINUES

COLIN: There is a ceremony that took place overnight.

GONG RINGS MACKENZIE: What sort of ceremony?

Team-building involving some sort of hallucinogenic tea.

What's Bestie? It's a dating app.

Oh...! PHONE PLAYS KISS SOUND

Is that a Bestie notification? No! SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

No, it wasn't a trip. It was a trap.

They all drank the same drink.

I'm dying! Help!

How did the killer do it?

Ooh, a match!

No, I don't match with anyone. Why am I matching with someone?

He's a lot better-looking than his photos.

It's great. Good on you.

Drink?
