Why couldn't I be on a dating app? Do I not deserve love?

No, you do deserve love.

Oh, a match?

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

Is that him?

He's a lot better looking than his photos.

Mackenzie. That is I.

There you go.

She does that to me all the time.

Come on. Good girl.

You are the only one that I need.

Alphie, get out of here.

Oh, after two days, classic Englishman.

Constable Soppy, you're under arrest for being a dick.

Detective Senior Constable, thank you. And impersonating a police officer is a

crime. Sir, it's public nudity. Are you going to charge yourself for that?

That was over 15 years ago, and well beyond the statute of limitations.

How are you, Liv?

Sick of this pair already.

Oh, come on.

Look at this pool. Should we jump in?

Well, they do say that going for a swim after a long journey does help jet lag.

Are you joking?

I've got seven days off the leash. Let's dump these bags and hit the pool.

Does she look familiar to you?

No.

Three beers and a G &T.

So you were all here 15 years ago.

On this exact spot. That's part of your love affair with Dolphin Cove, Carl.

How could we compete?

This place has everything and love has... The best fish and chip shop in

whole of Lincolnshire.

It's her family, it's honestly magic.

Hey, where have you been? Where are you? Aircon not working in my room.

They moved me.

Still, things are looking up.

Alfie, this is Daisy and this is Glenn.

The famous Glenn.

So what have you got planned while you're here?

Surfing. What else?

Why don't you get him to take you out? He's pretty good.

Stoppy, unlikely.

Six, seven tomorrow morning, I'll show you.

Finally, my best mate here.

Together for the first time since... His wedding.

Is it that long? Yeah.

Have you found the rings yet?

I have.

I lost them for like five minutes, Tom. All I'm saying is I wouldn't have lost

the rings.

Well, you finally get your chance to be best man with Glenn's wedding, won't

you? Got a few things to iron out there, a bit behind.

Um, it's Dolphin Cove. Yeah. Dolphin Cove again.

Cheers.

I just miss the Martin Gritton and Michael Reddy days. Do you know what I

Like, that is how you guarantee Grimmsley Town 30 goals a season.

Oh, it's brilliant having you here, mate. It really is. Oh, yeah. Oh.

Oh!

Come on.

Great.

Home time.

Home time.

Gritton! Whatever.

But, Cole, you look so ugly.

Hey.

I wore that scarf all the way through to sixth form. In fact, I think I've still

got it somewhere.

Well, for some reason, I can't see you needing it in Dolphin Cove.

No.

Oh! You're quite good.

Ow!

What are you doing?

I just... It's an awkward already. Stop still.

Um... You should get some sleep.

Are you really going home?

I am really going home.

But not before I have delivered a lecture on the importance of hydration

hangover prevention and marvelled at the surprising softness of this robe.

And for the record, I only wore that ugly scarf.

Because you once told me you liked it.

Oh, Shopee.

See you at six for our surf.

Ambitious.

Hi, Trev.

Hi, Cole.

He's not coming in, is he?

No. All right, mate.

Oh, shambles.

Oh. Brilliant.

Surf's up, mate. We're leaving in five. Come on.

What are you yelling about?

Who the hell is that?

Look closely.

No, it can't be her.

We haven't seen her in all those years.

Now she's dead on my bathroom floor.

You got here fast.

The deceased is a female in her 50s. No ID.

We just knew her as Ivy.

You knew her? We all did. Me and my friends from home.

Oh, that's right. They're here, aren't they? Arrived yesterday, and we went out

last night.

Cool. How did you know Ivy?

Ivy was our surf instructor.

She took us out when we were backpackers, but that was 15 years ago.

what was she doing here? I don't know.

You didn't meet up with her last night?

No. Oh. I know.

Baffled. She was found this morning by Alfie Grove, one of my mates, in his

room.

Alfie says that he passed out against his door and didn't manage to get in

6am this morning.

Really? He slept out there all night?

Not out of character, if I'm honest.

I got here just after he discovered the body.

We were supposed to go surfing.

I was here when they checked in yesterday and then went to the surf club

then at the end of the night I walked my friend Olivia.

Back to her room.

Right. What time did you leave last night?

Oh, Colin.

Tell me you left.

Of course I left.

I was only here a few minutes. I put her to bed and I got a cab with Trev around

1.

Pulled blood on the carpet.

Her arms in a cast.

And there's this.

Looks like someone had it in for her.

Okay, time of death?

Five or six hours ago would be my estimate at this stage.

That's a lot of cash.

Kill him over the body?

Why?

Huh.

Chocolates, snacks, soft drinks, no booze.

How did the victim get in if this isn't her room?

Could have been invited in.

Maybe.

Yep, one key card.

The second key card.

Colin!

Boss? Can I have a chat to you outside?

Didn't realise you'd be down here this morning.

Yeah, well, I've got a murder to solve. And I'm one detective down because you

are on five days leave.

Thing is, I'm, uh... I'm all to hear.

Yeah, well, there's, uh...

A bit of a conflict, potentially. I mean, aren't these friends of yours?

Yeah, but they didn't have anything to do with it.

Have you established that?

Because there was only one other room occupied, so there's not many

They couldn't have.

I've known them since I was a kid.

Yeah. You see, that is my problem.

I'm professional.

I can put my friendship aside and investigate.

Just do not let me down, Colin.

And put some pants on.

Go talk to your friends.

Nothing to do with me. Didn't even go in there.

You found her, though, didn't you?

Yeah. She was definitely dead.

What time was that?

Six. We were meeting Soppy for a surf.

Sorry, Soppy.

Did you have a few drinks in your room before you left last night?

No.

Well, there's snacks and soft drinks in your minibar, but no alcohol.

I didn't touch it.

Okay, so a few drinks at the surf club, then what? A few beers.

Caught up.

Kicked out at last drink. I remember getting back and, I guess, falling

Would have been around 1am.

And then you two came back soon after?

Yeah, well, I went to bed.

Alfie didn't. Found him collapsed against the door.

Come and get my key to work.

And you slept against the door all night?

Bear by habit of lying would have had a few.

It's true.

Before.

After.

Doesn't move a muscle.

It's incredible.

And no one came in or out of your room in that time?

Well, I was leaning up against the door.

If I'd have opened, I would have cracked me head on the floor.

Even I can't sleep through that.

And then you recognized the victim after 15 years?

I'll never forget her.

She was so cool. She was just this amazing surfer out there every morning.

And none of you had seen her before you found her body this morning?

So you have no idea at all what she was doing at this motel in Alfie's room?

I spoke to the staff.

None of them know who Ivy is. No one by that name checked in.

We're going to go chase down the surf fireplace.

Here, see if these keys help you.

Only other guests are a family of three staying in the room next door.

They were up most of the night trying to put their baby to sleep.

Did they see anything?

No, the curtains were drawn.

Thin curtains, according to the father.

And the baby woke up every time the security light came on. He reckoned

was a flurry of lights just before one.

Well, everyone coming home.

That's about it.

We checked the CCTV footage in the reception.

You can't see the rooms, but you can see a light in the distance.

It didn't come on again.

Okay.

That fits with what your friends told us.

Alfie effectively locked the door when he fell asleep against it.

So, Ivy was already in the room, Dad, when we came back from the surf club.

Wait, hang on. The baby woke up again at 3am.

They heard someone dragging something along the floor next door. No, that's

wrong.

No. Ivy was dead by then. She couldn't have been moving.

They were sure.

So, it's the killer moving the body.

Right. But there was no way in or out without me blocking the door at 1am and

then he goes in at 6am to discover a body but no killer, so... How did the

killer escape through a locked door?

Dean's only open an inch. No -one's escaping through there.

You know, this was supposed to be a special time.

I don't get to see my friends that often.

Two keycards.

Big trip for them.

Rohan's got kids. And now they're suspecting a murder.

Well, not just them.

Well, no -one else in this motel knew Ivy 15 years ago.

One card for Alfie.

What could their motives possibly be?

Good question.

And then his spare.

What are you looking for?

The third big car.

Why would Alfie have three keys?

He wouldn't.

Hey, uh, how's the wedding prep going?

Meeting the celebrant tomorrow.

Hey, didn't you do that last week?

I, uh, I forgot. Bit of a shared calendar issue, communication breakdown.

About that, um, chat about best man last night. Don't worry about it. I promise

you, I didn't put them up to it. It's fine.

I know you've got friends you've known longer than me. I mean, Rick, Jacko.

Whoever you decide to go for, you know, go for it.

It's your wedding.

This is a master key and it was under the bed.

Why?

Maybe the killer used it to get in.

Or the victim.

One of those.

And all the minibars are stuffed with alcohol except Alfie's.

Anything?

Apart from the obvious headwear, not yet.

I'll get all this back to the lab and let you know if anything jumps out.

Hey. And don't forget the telegram.

Last box to take before they can get married.

You should set a reminder in your phone.

Good advice. Cheers.

You're welcome.

I'll call you.

Oh, shell yeah.

I reckon I'd read the reviews before booking a lesson.

Ah, so this must be Ivy's surf high gear.

Car key.

What do you reckon?

Yeah.

Got a state kit.

She was prepared.

Got clothes.

Sneakers.

And... She was living in a car.

Alfie Grose?

Room 8, Olivia Hattle.

Room 9, Rohan Khatri. Room 10.

There were no staff at the motel overnight, so these are the people we

looking at who had potential access to the victim.

All of them old friends of Colin's.

Yeah, grew up on the same street.

Pretty much family.

All of them have a prior relationship to the victim. So, somehow...

Ivy ends up dead in Alfie's bathroom.

A threatening note left at the scene.

It ends here.

Alfie asleep against the door the entire time.

So we don't know how the killer escaped through a door that was essentially

locked. And we know very little about our victim. So Felix, enlighten us.

Ivy Perry found her calf, a few bills in it in her name, a toothbrush.

Would suggest she's been living in it too.

What ends here?

Ivy Sandra Perry.

No fixed address.

For ages.

This is weird.

Her most recent chat, it's just a bunch of numbers.

Who's it from?

It just says dumpling.

What are the numbers?

14, 9, 11.

Anything over 15?

No. Is the most recent number 8?

How do you know?

There's 15 rooms at the motel.

Someone was texting her room numbers.

Someone told her to be there.

The killer?

Let's find out what Ivy Perry was up to before she died.

Ivy. Yeah.

She was here last night.

What? When?

Well, you didn't see her.

Oh. She had an argument with your mate, Rohan.

They were really going at it.

What about?

I don't know. I couldn't hear, and then I had to get her chucked out.

Why? She was dealing.

How did you know that?

Cash in her pocket, and a buyer who was still under the influence when we spoke

to him this morning.

I might be sobered up by now.

Why not tell us what the argument with Ivy was all about?

Obviously, because it would make him look guilty.

Right, Rohan?

Come on, Holiday.

Mate, okay.

I haven't had a week to myself since the kids were born.

And you bought it from Ivy? Yeah.

And it was less than I paid for. Not a big deal. I'm not going to kill her over

it. Mm -hmm.

How did Ivy feel about all of this?

Angry enough to fight with you about it? Did she follow you back here? No, I

didn't see her again for the rest of the night. I swear, I had nothing to do

with this.

Felix?

Mate.

What are you doing?

It's just a bit of gear.

It's possession.

It's an offence.

We're going to have to charge you. Cole, I'm a solicitor.

I'll lose my practising certificate.

This will end my career.

I've got two kids. I've got a mortgage.

How long have we known each other, mate? Please, just help me out.

Holly Perry.

Any relation to Ivy?

I don't know for sure.

But she was the one texting Ivy the numbers. And guess where she works?

Dolphin Cove Motel.

Holly Perry.

How are you related to Ivy?

She was my mum.

Sorry, sorry.

Did you give her a master key?

I... She was...

sleeping in her car, so I was just trying to help her out a bit.

So how did it work?

You'd text her the number of a vacant room.

She had the master key.

We've read her messages.

Dumpling.

It's quite sweet.

I'd check the bookings.

She'd come in late and leave early the next day.

Mm -hmm.

And you'd clean her room first, remove all evidence the past day.

It wasn't hurting anyone.

Holly, last night you sent her to a room that wasn't free.

It was free.

Alfie's broken air conditioner.

I need you back. I'm not working in my room.

He wasn't meant to be in room eight.

They moved him at the last minute.

She liked to drink.

Your mum.

He cleared out room eight's minibar.

She needed help to stay on the straight and narrow.

An addict, sleeping in her car, leaning on you to risk your job for free

accommodation.

She's the only family I had.

I would have done anything for her.

Nothing on her phone, no bank account. She's basically living off the grid,

so... It's old school, but I like it.

It's a long shot, but maybe someone has some information about what she's been

up to, you know, since her crime was so targeted.

You're really getting into this detective stuff, aren't you?

I'm trying.

So what's the plan? Are you going to undermine Colin to the boss, get him

back to England and then you move in on his job?

No. Oh. I was thinking of going for my senior constable promotion and then

eventually applying to sit the exam for detective training.

Oh, yeah. Well, that'll work too. Good on you, Felix.

Thanks. Just let me know if you need any help.

With detective training?

Honey, I taught you ten girls.

Understanding what goes on in their heads is elite -level investigative

Seriously.

We know she was bludgeoned. Toxicology shows high blood alcohol content. No

other drugs were found in her system.

But have a look at this.

Her arm wasn't broken.

There's no evidence of a fracture or a hairline break.

No sign of previous healing either.

So this was just for show?

Why?

Pity?

Insurance, maybe?

What have you got?

Glenn, don't forget the celebrant.

I won't forget the celebrant.

And then no turning back.

I don't want to turn back.

How does Felix feel?

I guess he got hit by a car last week.

So Ivy was running a scan.

Someone backed into her in the car park.

Or they think they do.

She turns up the next day, her arm in a cast, and asks for money.

Felix said she was targeting backpackers, and I mean, you'd pay two

tourist visa. You don't want to get mixed up with the police.

Maybe she scammed the wrong person and they decided to finally stop her. It

here.

Oh, hey, Colin.

Mac.

I didn't expect you to be here.

Oh. No, I didn't expect me to be here either.

Why am I here? What am I doing here?

Oh, no, she's not part of it. It's the cake tasting for the wedding. Right. No.

Uh -huh.

Definitely not part of this. No, you should stay.

Oh, definitely shouldn't. No, it's fine.

You know, I'd like your opinion.

There you go. All right. So we have red velvet, vanilla.

Fruitcake, a request from the mother of the groom.

It's a classic.

Scorecards are here. I want them ranked in order, okay?

Tick that off and I just have the celebrant on my big jobs list.

Fruitcake. Fruitcake? Mm -hmm.

How long have you had a thing for Olivia?

Hmm?

Your cologne.

Hmm.

Usually it's quite aquamarine, but now suddenly it's leather and ylang -ylang.

Firstly, I'm just trying something new.

And I guess years.

When we were out here backpacking, I thought something might happen.

Why didn't it?

She's always had a thing for Alfie, I reckon.

And then we went back home and off to uni. Well, the lads did.

Not Olivia?

No, she got in and changed her mind.

Decided to stay in Louth and look after the family shop.

She was smarter than all of us.

I never understood it.

Can I ask?

Mm?

Stoppy?

I used to sweat.

A lot.

In school, at PE, the rugby ball slipped through my hands and they never let

me forget it.

You don't like it.

It's just banter.

It's what mates do.

Aren't mates supposed to be, you know, nice?

You're learning.

You know...

I thought it'd be fun having them out here, but... Someone got murdered.

What? Even before that?

I don't know, it just... It seemed different.

Our cells are constantly regenerating.

Skin, bone, bits of brain. It takes about seven years for the body to almost

entirely replace itself.

OK. Since you last saw your friends, Colin, you have literally become a

different person.

No, no, it's okay. No.

No.

I brushed my teeth four times. I can still taste it.

Holly's shift starts in five minutes.

Let's see if she knows who else her mum might have scammed.

What? Why did you come back? I don't know what you're talking about.

Stop, stop, stop.

You're okay, okay? Stop.

Shouldn't have come back.

Why would Holly be that angry with you?

Salpy, come on. Just answer the question, please.

We had a thing.

Back then.

Holly and me.

And it ended.

Badly.

Is that why we cut short our trip?

How did none of us know about this?

Holly didn't want her mum to find out, so we kept the whole thing a secret.

Ivy was out for blood when she found out.

Fifteen years ago, Holly was 18. She's an adult.

She can make her own decisions. Why would her mum take it so badly?

Holly ended up pregnant.

Ivy basically attacked me at the beach one morning. Said she wanted $20 ,000

then I could walk away like a lump sum child support payment.

And you paid it?

Dad sent the money.

And I never heard from Holly or her mum again.

Well, until... Oh, that's why you were so late to the surf club.

You weren't just changing rooms.

Did you confront her?

What did she say?

There was no baby, was there?

I'm only going for a baby that never even existed.

What? I can't believe it, mate.

She scammed you.

You had a tumultuous history with your mother.

All mum had to do was stop drinking.

But no, instead every...

Dollar that came in just went out again, so when I had a thing with Alfie, she

saw a way of making money out of it.

And Alfie coming back, it brought all that up.

That was found near your mother's body.

It ends here, sums up how you feel.

I didn't kill her.

You think Alfie did?

What?

He got moved to the room. He found her there.

Okay, he's got good reason.

Holly, so do you.

Motive and access.

I came to work and she was dead in one of the rooms.

And, yeah, she had her problems, but she's my mother.

I loved her, okay?

How are you going on the possession case on Rohan Khatri?

I'm nearly done with the paperwork.

But, boss, I can't find the drugs.

What do you mean?

They were in the storeroom last night, but this morning... All right, who

them out?

I did.

I weighed them again just to make absolutely sure.

We need this to be watertight.

I'll put him back.

And I want to see the paperwork for Rohan's possession charge before the end

the day.

Copy that, boss.

When we were 13, someone pinched 20 quid from the till at Olivia's shop.

Someone.

Alfie. Suddenly he had 20 quid. He was banged to rights.

He denied it then.

He denies it to this day.

Colin.

Do you think Alfie could have done this?

He's one of my best mates.

But the thing about Alfie is that he always gets away with it.

How drunk was he at the surf club?

He fell asleep against his motel room door.

And the light would have come on if anyone opened it, plus Felix would have

it on the CCTV.

And the baby would have woken up.

And there's no way he could have rearranged himself into exactly the same

position.

Or could he?

It's made at night time.

We need to make sure that door was locked as we think it was locked.

It needs to be watertight.

Okay. I just don't have that long.

Okay.

You got fruitcake taken off the list.

I feel I owe you one.

Okay.

We assumed Alfie couldn't get in.

Supposedly he was asleep against his door in the same position the whole

So if he moves, the light goes on, which we know it didn't.

All set?

Mm -hmm. Okay.

So... Right.

Right.

Okay. Lights off.

See if you can open the door, okay?

A bit slowly.

Okay, no.

Start again.

All right. Okay, wait.

Don't move.

I'm not moving.

Okay,

try again. Slowly.

It's impossible, right?

I need to wash my hands.

It seemed like Alfie was drinking quite heavily, but could you say

exactly how much he drank?

Oh, Colin, it was busy. I served you. I don't know what happened after that.

All I can tell you is that the boys were on the beers and Olivia was on what

she's drinking now, G &T.

What? She's here now?

Okay.

I'm the killer.

I kill Ivy in the room and then I bring her in here.

Why?

Maybe you killed her in here.

Uh -huh.

But then why is there blood out there?

Why is the hammer on the bed? Why right it ends here? It's like the killer was

setting a scene.

But what did they want us to see?

I'm going to have to leave that with you. I've really got to go.

Oh, you are kidding.

Oh, just put it back in.

I can't put it back in. The spindle's gone on the other side.

What do you mean? You can't open it? No, I can't open it because you closed the

door.

Well, I didn't know you were just going to yank it out. Oh, I yanked it, did I?

Yeah, you did. You yanked it because it's not in the door anymore, is it?

Hey.

No, no, I'm just running a few minutes, mate. I haven't forgotten.

Yeah?

No, I know.

I'll be there, I promise.

Okay, I love you too.

He'll go back to his 95 and pretend like this never happened.

Did you ever find out why our trip was cut short last time?

Alfie just wanted to get to the Barrier Reef, didn't he?

He had a thing with Ivy's daughter, Holly.

What happened?

Come on, it was years ago.

Surely you can give me a hint.

Holly told him she was pregnant.

And she wasn't.

Ivy pressured him into giving her 20 grand.

It was all a lie.

I had no idea.

Me neither.

Bye, Jude.

You've made quite a nice life for yourself, haven't you? It's impressive.

And all I did was buy a ticket.

But you still think about coming home, don't you?

Oh, no, you've kept items of clothing that I like. Like your old scarf.

Here's an idea.

You could come here.

Maybe, if there's a good reason.

Felix? Alfie Grove lied.

He said his dad gave him 20 grand to pay off Ivy, but the money didn't come from

his dad's account.

Well, where'd it come from?

You okay?

You gave him the money.

That all makes sense.

You're supposed to go to uni, then suddenly you don't. Because you didn't

the money.

Because you'd given it to Alfie.

To pay Ivy off.

No, I didn't know what it was for. He said it was an emergency.

Why?

Why would you do that?

Because you've always had a thing for Alfie, haven't you?

I'm sorry.

I apologise to me.

What kind of place are they running here?

There's no emergency alarm, no staff around.

Glenn. Colin and Mum are going straight to voicemail. Glenn.

Glenn.

Maybe you should call Daisy back.

Any other motel would have a phone in here.

In a bathroom. What if I was having a heart attack? You're not having a heart

attack. Okay?

You're feeling claustrophobic. I'm feeling claustrophobic. I'm just very

conscious that this 2 by 2 .5 meter room only contains 10 cubic meters of air.

And with an average human respiratory volume of about 6 liters a minute, maybe

12 for the two of us, maybe a little less because you're small. Okay, Glenn.

Glenn, look at me. Look at me. Okay? We're not going to run out of air.

Okay?

We're not going to run out of air.

Okay.

All right. Hey, let's get on the floor. Let's get on the floor. Let's get down

here. Okay?

Yep.

Deep breath.

I'm going to concentrate on something else. I can't concentrate on something

else. Okay. All right.

Okay.

26, 37, 14, 8,

93. Go. That's 85 plus 93, 178.

Mm -hmm.

6 by 8 in one bracket minus 12.

Plus 19 plus 6 in the other. Go.

That's 48. Take 37. 11.

Square root of 95. I will accept an estimate.

Times the answer to the last one.

Square root of 100 is 10.

Vading 1 is 9.

95 is in between. I'm going to say 9 .7 times 11 times 10 is

97 plus 9 .7.

106 .7.

Do you have anything harder?

Hello?

Mackenzie? Glenn?

Yep, we're in here.

Put that knob back in the door.

Um, the money Alfie got to pay off Ivy.

It didn't come from his dad.

It came from Olivia.

There's no robe in here.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Fine.

There's no robe in there.

But there is a robe in here.

There always was.

What if we've been looking at this wrong?

We assumed that what happened is what it looked like.

Someone killed Ivy in...

Alfie's room.

Isn't that what happened?

What if it was the exact opposite?

We've been looking in the wrong places, the wrong questions, the wrong motives,

the...

The

night of the murder, what were you all drinking?

Well, we've had the same drinks order for as long as I can remember.

Olivia was on the G &Ts and we were on the beers.

Oh, no.

It ends here.

It certainly ended for Ivy Perry.

Legend. in room 8 of the Dolphin Cove Motel.

A room notable for its working air conditioning, empty minibar and bright

security light.

Ivy was murdered by a killer who somehow escaped through a door that was

essentially locked by Alfie's sleep against the other side.

Why was she killed?

Well,

plenty of people had reason.

She was dodgy in her drug deals.

She fritted away her money, exploiting her daughter in scams. One scam, 15

ago, netted her $20 ,000 from Alfie.

She was murdered in your room, Alfie.

Was it revenge?

No.

Well, it was revenge.

But not on Ivy.

And no, not by Alfie. Alfie wasn't the killer. And Ivy wasn't the intended

victim.

Was she, Olivia?

What?

What are you asking me for?

Alfie wasn't the only person that learned something that night. You

the 20 grand that you gave him wasn't for an emergency at all.

It was for that baby.

that didn't exist.

20 grand for a baby that never even existed. What? I can't believe it. I

believe it. So yes, it was revenge, but not on Ivy.

On the friend that made you give him that money.

And it cost you everything.

University.

The life you wanted.

So you decided, Alfie, he was no friend at all.

And you decided to kill him.

Told me Carla was so drunk. I couldn't even stand up straight.

He'd stop drinking He threw you gin and tonics in the garden

Faked being drunk You knew I'd walk around

like I always did Easy alibi

asleep in your room except you want to sleep

Because you remembered what I told you about My ugly scarf.

I only wore that ugly scarf because you once told me you liked it.

But I told you that after you started snoring.

You mentioned it at the surf club.

No, no, you kept items of clothing that I liked.

How would I even get in?

Alfred's spare keycard.

Which you lifted when he spilled a drink on his wallet.

It is beautiful having you here, mate.

You waited in his room until he came through the door and then you pounced.

Except it wasn't Alfie.

It was Ivy.

Using her master key to get into a room that Holly had told her would be empty.

And that is when Alfie did come home.

You did everything you could in the moment to stop from being discovered,

then Alfie fell asleep against the door trapping you in.

And we kept asking, why?

Why did the killer move the body?

Why was the hammer placed on the bed in full sight for everyone to see? Why was

the note near the body? It was all, it was so deliberate because it was

deliberate. Starting with making Ivy look like the intended victim so no one

would suspect that she was murdered by accident.

And then you moved the body into the bathroom, damaging the door handle along

the way.

And then you put the hammer on the bed so that when Alfie eventually did wake

and walk in the door, he would see the hammer and his attention would be drawn

to the bathroom, where he wouldn't be able to see you escape.

You had seconds before Alfie raised the alarm.

Just enough time.

To get into your room and then emerge.

In Alfie's robe.

Covering your bloodstained clothes from the night before.

And then you joined Rohan and Alfie in discovering Ivy.

Your victim.

No, it can't be her. No, you know it is.

You can't prove any of this. Colin.

She can't prove any of that.

You have to tell her.

I wouldn't do anything like this. You know that.

Never made it to the wash.

If you look closely, you'll see the tiniest stain of blood.

It's right here.

Ibis.

And a few strands of hair.

We've sent them to forensics and they've confirmed they're yours.

Your plan.

It failed.

Tragically.

But your cover -up almost worked.

How could you?

We grew up next door to each other. We've been friends for 30 years.

You don't have any friends.

Friends? They care about each other.

You never even said thank you.

Olivia Hadsall.

You're under arrest for the murder of Ivy Perry.

Colin.

Colin, stop, please.

You don't have to say or do anything, but anything you do or say may be used

evidence against you.

Colin, please.

Sorry.

I thought I was taking three of yous.

Just the two, Trev.

Okie dokie.

Hey, Toppy.

Don't call me that.

I've... I've never liked it.

I'll see you back here for your hearing.

Bye then.

Yeah.

Give us a shout when you're next home.

I am home.

That's what they said.

Hey, Cole.

Over here. Oh.

Did your friends get off okay?

Probably not the holiday they were expecting.

Wouldn't have thought so, no.

Shall we do this now?

Yeah. Yes.

Detective Senior Constable Cartwright, I've been informed by HQ that today it's

been five years since you started with us at South Coast Police.

Therefore...

Dolphin cake. No way.

Amazing.

Who wants some? Oh, yes, please.

Go on, then.

Here we go.

Fruitcake.

Fruitcake. Incredible.

Well, we are done. Box is ticked. We're finally ready for the wedding.

As if it was ever in doubt.

And while we've got you here, today, when I was in a bit of strife,

You were the one who saved the day, Cole.

Oh. You're the best.

Cheers.

The best man.

Yeah, you just said that.

You're joking.

What about Jacko? Useless.

Rick? He's even worse.

So it is me?

It's you, mate. Oh, brilliant.

Oh, Gordon Bennett.

I've got to get cracking on a box night.

Oh, yeah.

A box night.

Hi.

Hi.

So we should probably... Daisy and I are going away after the wedding.

Obviously, honeymoon.

Great. So I was thinking you should probably take Frankie.

That's okay.

Yeah? What?

Permanently.

I just think it's easier for Frankie not having to go back and forth all

the time. She knows where she stands. She's not all between two people.

Won't you miss her?

I will.

Quite a lot.

But...

I've got other things to focus on now.

I'll still get to see her all the time.

Definitely.

So it won't make that much of a difference.

No.

So that's that then.

Looks like it.

Good girl, Frank.

There you go.

Probably tomorrow.

You've got to beat the third club to seven. I'll box on it. It's going to be

debauchery and chaos.

Let's go!

There's nothing as lethal as a woman's love.

Writer of crime novels gets brutally murdered. The only people who could have

done it had guest access, and they were all on that panel.

How's Frankie? She misses you.

Frankie? Snake.

Oh, Colin, I've got to get her to the vet.

Since you've come home, everything is harder. Oh, your life. It would just be

much easier if I'd never come back.
