All language subtitles for Return to Paradise [2025-11-21 20-00] ukbbc HQ

I would be delighted to attend yours and
Davey's wedding. Thank you for your

kindness, sparing me a wedding
nightmare.

What? Not inviting me to yours.

I did invite you. If a person like me
was to go to the wedding of a person

Glenn, what would that mean? I expect it
would mean they were gracious.

Thank you for inviting me to your
wedding. I would be delighted to attend.

Glenn, it won't be a nightmare. This one
will be perfect.

Welcome and blessing.

My name is John C.

Shiva, and I honor you all for taking
the time out of your busy schedule to be

here tonight so we can together come
closer to knowing ourselves.

Thank you for inviting me here to guide
this work.

Thank you, John C.

These are very special moments for me
and for our company.

I'm so grateful that you're all here to
open your minds to new possibilities at

Bestie. And to work on growing our
subscriber base.

Before we begin, I would like each of
you to share your intentions for

this ceremony.

Aisha?

I guess I'm just super...

Excited to get closer to these amazing
women that I'm really lucky to work for.

We're Asia.

We're family.

Scott? This isn't really my thing, but
it's nice to be out of my coding cave.

A few little UX bugs that I'd like to
nut out while I'm here.

Hopefully this helps.

And now the wild women who lead you.

Brooklyn.

Andy? Well, like most of Brooklyn's
ideas, I thought these ceremonies were a

little out there.

But every time we make incredible new
discoveries that we can implement.

And that's what my intention is.

New insights.

Andy and I are deeply committed to this
ceremony.

Because here, we connect to our hearts.

Connect to each other.

And find love.

So true, Brooklyn.

Now I have sealed the energy in this
sacred place where we remain until

sunrise.

Blessings upon this medicine and
blessings upon each of you

as you embark on this journey of
transformation.

And I'm going back now.

Bye.

It doesn't feel intentional, Andy.

We are doing the right thing. I promise.

I trust you.

I trust you.

Estes.

Estes.

All right.

An awakened.

Wow.

Aisha.

Angel.

Oh, what happened?

You did the work.

You did the work.

Andy.

Seriously, this is the first time she's
slept past me.

Mandy!

Awaken!

Hold on.

Big Tim is Andy Ross, 33.

Hair up.

No water.

She's the CEO of Bestie.

What's Bestie?

You don't know?

All right, yeah, makes sense.

It's a dating app. Oh, what?

You've been matched with Joel.

Swipe, swipe, turns out. Oh, he's
already got six girlfriends, that sort

thing.

It's a bit more than that.

Feeding users the promise of happily
ever after while deliberately keeping

single so they keep paying for a weekly
subscription.

That sort of thing.

Romantic. Haven't showered, Colin. Not
in the mood.

There was a ceremony that took place
overnight.

How long?

I'd estimate she's been dead between two
to four hours.

What sort of ceremony?

Team building, actually.

Involving some sort of hallucinogenic
tea.

They all drank from it. All four of
them.

But Andy Roth didn't make it through.

Do we know why?

There were signs of vomit in her mouth.

And blue lip.

Cuts here.

On her fingernails.

Thesia.

Vomiting, blue lip.

All on the bingo card for poison.

I have to run the talks to confirm what
it is.

Looks like a contract.

Or the signature page of one, anyway.

Andy Roth.

Brooklyn Limb.

Yeah. What's the rest of it?

I haven't seen any of the paperwork
around.

How's it looking, Glenn?

I've done all I can here.

I'll get her back to the lab and get
straight on to it.

Hey, yeah.

Can you believe she's never had a
bestie?

I would believe that, actually.

Doesn't have a profile.

Shocked. Not really the type. Can you
say that again?

Sorry.

Why?

Why am I not the type?

Yeah, why is she not the type, then?

Because I'm new on a dating app.

Why couldn't I be on a dating app?

Come on, Mac. What, Glenn?

Am I not charming?

Am I not an engaging conversationalist?

Do I not deserve love?

No, you do deserve love. Yeah, well,
then what are you saying, Glenn?

Yeah. Why are you saying that?

I could absolutely be on a dating app if
I wanted to be.

Sorry.

Bestie isn't just a dating app.

It's a heart -centered business.

And you are?

Brooklyn Lim.

CEO.

Co -CEO.

I founded the app with Andy, my best
friend.

Do you recognise it?

Looks like some kind of contract.

It has yours and Andy's signature on it.
Dated yesterday.

Oh, we did a lot of paperwork before the
ceremony. It probably belongs to one of

our suppliers.

It came off somehow.

Scott Forbes, chief tech officer. I
built the app.

You're a cop.

That's bad.

You're all right.

Okay. And this is?

Ayesha Barra, Andy's assistant.

She's not quite herself yet.

Can you tell us about this ceremony?

We come here every six months to work on
ideas by opening our minds with... The

medicine. Medicine?

A natural herbal tea with mind
-expanding properties that we use to

perspective so we can gain deeper
insight into who we are and who we are

of becoming.

This is Jancy.

She's our guide.

And where does the medicine come from?

I prepare it with the native berries
that are foraged into hills. What type

berries? Lunar berries, the natural.

That's what Andy drank.

We all drank it. And it comes from the
big bowl thing.

The gourd.

Yes. I ladle the medicine from the gourd
into the bowl.

You handed Andy a bowl?

No. I filled them. I need to journey. I
took one. Assigned to them?

No, no, no. It was random.

Random.

Yeah, and then John C sent us back to
our map.

How close? Close enough to touch?

No.

Then what?

Then we all drank it.

And then the half moon descended from
the sky and it fell into the fire.

We'll take her in, look after her until
she's served it up. So... So the tea...

Medicine.

It all comes from the same big bowl.

The gourd.

Into the bowls at random?

Yes. This is how Andy wants it. She
checked over everything on the balcony

the morning of the ceremony.

What about before the ceremony? Do you
know if she ate or drank anything?

No. We all fast for a day beforehand.

Of course you do.

Sorry, why are you asking all these
questions?

Because she was poisoned.

Poisoned?

How?

Because of me.

Oh, it's all because of me.

It's my fault.

I killed her. I must have put a
poisonous berry in the medicine.

Oh, my God, Ed.

I took a lot.

Do you think you put a poisonous berry
into the tea?

Medicine? What other explanation is
there? No, no, because the tea...

It all comes from the same big bowl.

The God? And the rest of them, they're
fine.

So you don't think I didn't kill her?

Well, can't exactly say at the moment.

Having said that, what happened to the
accident?

You told me you were European.

Hardly the kind of trip she was after.

I know. It wasn't a trip. It was a trap.

Andy didn't eat or drink anything before
the ceremony, so the poison had to be

in the tea.

Maybe the killer put the poison in
Andy's bowl before the tea went in?

No, because the bowls were taken at
random. There's no way the killer could

known in advance which one Andy would
take.

They all drank the same drink, but only
Andy was poisoned.

How did the killer do it?

Andy Roth.

Co -CEO of Bestie. Oh, that's the dating
app. Mm -hmm. How do you know what it

is?

I told you.

Everyone knows about it. If you're
curious, I can set you up a profile.

Ooh, absolutely not.

Fair play.

I'm actually off the apps for the time
being.

I mean, need a bit of a break. Be more
present.

Amen to that.

Oh.

Um, still getting matches, though?

You've got to stay in the game.

Well, what's wrong with meeting people
IRL?

That means in real life.

We all know what it means.

Anyway, somehow Andy was poisoned during
a team -building exercise that involved

drinking tea infused with psychedelic
berries.

The signature page of a contract signed
by both Andy and Brooklyn Lem was in

Andy's pocket. What's it for?

They're trying to figure that out.

Well, Beth is worth a mint. Last year,
they got a $35 million offer to sell to

big tech company.

Why didn't they?

Well, according to the tech press,
Brooklyn Limb co -CEO said she and Andy

in it for love, not money.

All right, who else have we got here?

What, Forbes? Did their tech die?

Records clean, except for a drug driving
charge. Was pulled over after the last

ceremony. Still high, apparently.

You'll get the full report on that?

Yeah. No, I'm trying to pay, all right?
The machine won't take my money.

Yeah, still yet to talk to Aisha Abara
and his assistant.

We need to figure out what she meant
when she said the half moon descended

the sky.

Not in a state to mean anything.

Any news on the poison?

Still waiting on talks.

Oh, well, I'll get her a tea. The Earl
Grey kind?

No, I can get it.

Oh, keen, aren't we? I'll get the tea.

This is the location that John Z. Shiva
said she foraged for berries.

See what you can find. I can stay here
if you want, you know, keep an eye on

Aisha. We'll handle the Aisha situation.

Yeah, we'll just keep the vibes chill
for her because she is still readjusted.

Reggie, this is a police station. We do
not do chill vibes.

Well, play her those pan pipes on your
phone. Reggie, Reggie.

Mac, you want to see this?

Something's just fallen out of Aisha's
jacket pocket.

Sleeping pills.

Sorry.

The half moon descended from the sky and
fell into the fire.

What did you mean by that?

Wait, I said that?

Mm -hmm.

Not sure, just nonsense, I guess.

Is it normal for assistants to go on
these retreats?

Well, you get invited to the ceremony if
Andy trusts you. So, for me, it was

basically like a promotion.

Andy's very clear about it. If you're
in, you're in. You're drinking the tea.

Andy made sure of it. She literally
fired her last assistant for trying to

out of it. And the one before that as
well.

Sounds like Andy was difficult.

Right. Because all women in power are
difficult.

Look, Andy was a hustler.

But that's just the industry that we're
in. Tech is brutal. Their hours are non

-stop. You don't get to see your family
and friends.

You don't have time for a relationship.
Sometimes you work so hard that you

don't even know what day it is. You
wouldn't get it, but it's tough.

Yeah, I guess I wouldn't get it.

I mean, how do you go? You just find a
way.

Is that the way?

They were in your jacket.

They're legal, by the way. Like, they're
prescription.

Honestly, it's the price that you pay if
you want to succeed.

And Andy did.

Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a
better mentor.

Call something.

Andy's lawyers say they were planning to
sell Bestie. Brooklyn said they were in

it for love, not money. But it turns out
even love has a price, and it's 35

million. They sent over their contract.

Mackenzie.

Hmm? over the contract?

Yeah. This has to be the one that Andy
had on her.

And, get this, Brooklyn's perfect
marriage was so important to the bestie

there was a clause in the sale agreement
saying she has to maintain her marriage

or the sale is cancelled.

It's romantic.

Stay married or lose your half of 35
million.

Not even half.

The money goes 80 -20 in Andy's favour.

I thought they were co -founders.

They were.

Why would Brooklyn agree to that?

Andy got you to sign it during the
ceremony, didn't she? When you were

That's why we found it in her pocket.

It wasn't Andy's fault.

She's on a journey with the medicine.

Funny you didn't remember this when we
spoke to you earlier.

Well, it was a very unbalancing night.

Maybe Andy knew exactly what she was
doing.

Found a precise moment to manipulate you
into signing away Bessie and reducing

your share to just 20%. Leaving you with
a very ungenerous bit of a sale.

If Andy was poisoned, it was given to
her at the start of the ceremony before

she asked me to sign anything.

It's not like Andy and I haven't
discussed sale offers before.

Or you signed this document because you
knew that Andy was going to die and you

wouldn't have to go through with it.
That's not true.

She was my best friend.

We trusted each other.

Okay, I signed it because Andy said it
was the right thing to do for us to

Was it the right thing to cut your share
in half?

That was a business decision.

You know, for tax reasons.

Tax reasons?

That was Andy's side of the business.
So, um... I trusted her.

And what's going to happen with the sale
now?

I can't think about business.

You know, I've lost the most important
person in my life.

What about your husband?

What about him?

Oh, not important to you.

No, no, no.

Of course he is.

You know, our relationship was the very
beginning of Bethy.

Charlie and I met at the Bolo.

There was no spark.

I wanted to leave, but Andy, she said, I
have a

feeling about that guy.

And when Charlie and I, we talked until
dawn and agreed to get married by

breakfast, I knew she was right.

I mean, that's what Bethy's always been
about.

It's about helping you find...

The type of person that your best friend
would pick for you.

There's a clause in the contract that
says you have to remain married or the

sale is void.

Lucky I love him then.

Because when you find your person, you
just know everything's going to be okay.

I've been through the office. Anything?

Very fancy, but not really.

And Andy's tablet there. A bit battered.

And this?

Oh, yeah, and that.

What's that? Is that a poster?

Yeah.

From the Royale.

It was under Andy's keyboard and... the
number 14's written on it.

Hmm.

Why would she keep a thing like that?

That is a good question.

Any luck foraging along Johnsy's route?

Zero poisonous berries. Plenty of lunos,
though. Yeah.

So, we can rule out anything going in by
accident.

It was deliberate.

What's that?

Oh, that is the content of the shredder.

We're on it.

You've got to be joking.

No lead, I'm afraid. Purely a fishing
expedition.

That's OK.

Come on, Colin.

Talk to them.

You don't think it's interesting that
they shredded documents leading up to

ceremony? No.

Get your glue stick, Miss Rocco.

Okay, I've tested the tea in the gourd
and the remnants in each of the four

bowls. There are no berries.

Yep. We found some.

A native berry with psychedelic
properties.

Which explains Aisha seeing the half
moon descend into the fire.

Completely out of it. She still said it.

But they're not poisonous, not really in
any quantity.

So what's the poison?

Amatoxin. It was in her tox as well as
the lunobaries and traces in the bowl

drank from.

What's amatoxin?

Mushrooms.

Mushrooms?

Most likely. I'll make sure when the tox
comes back.

Is that a...

Bestie notification.

No.

It's just a message.

Carry on.

Would you shut up?

We done?

We're done. Yep.

Yes, I signed up for the case, but now
the thing was beeping at me.

Colin, all these men.

Why is he holding a fish?

Why are you holding a fish? Why is he
holding a fish?

That is a huge fish, though.

Fair play.

Um, is that your police headshot?

Oh, a match.

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

someone? Well, Dustin, 32, Capricorn is
messaging you.

He's a plumber.

He's in Dolphin Cove and he's free for a
drink tonight.

Seems nice. Also, no fish. Okay, haha.

I'm not meeting Justin.

Dustin.

What's the harm?

Maybe you could take this opportunity
to... What?

Make someone new.

Have a good time.

Be nice.

Fine.

What do I say?

Sounds great.

Just type it.

Absolutely ever after all, mate.

This is actually quite meditative, isn't
it?

Mindful. You know, like you can let your
brain just wander.

Lunar berries in all four bowls, as
expected. And in one of them, what Glenn

thinks is some sort of amytoxin. Oh,
amytoxin.

It's from a poisonous mushroom.

Oh, you want to be careful foraging up
there.

Did they see you when you were up there?
No, but they're there for sure.

Mum always had a blanket rule for
mushrooms.

Leave them alone.

Oh, police report on Scott has come
through.

Here we go.

Driving while intoxicated after the last
ceremony six months ago.

Admittedly ingested lunar berries the
night before. Yeah, that checks out.

But someone else was in the car with
him.

Yeah.

Andy Ross.

She gave a statement, said she never
ingested mind -altering substances.

Uh, they tested her.

She was clean.

What? She was committed to these
ceremonies. Her tox came back positive.

I don't know.

They did these ceremonies together.

Andy was militant in making sure they
all participated.

Ayesha told us so.

How could Andy be clean when Scott
tested positive the morning after? I

went through Bessie's expenses.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but...
Brooklyn has a lot of pricey lunches

in account HR.

Human Resources taking the staff out.

They were about to make a lot of money.

It is criminal how much these dating
apps are making off people.

$8 .99 a week for a busy subscription.

In my day, you just went up to someone
you thought looked all right and, you

know, gave them a compliment.

You can't go up to a woman on the street
and compliment her.

It's harassment.

Well, since when has flirting been
harassment?

Okay. How are we getting along with
these?

Oh, good. I have finished the full
sentence.

That one.

Uh, equity, restaurant, croissant. Yeah,
well, it's almost finished.

Mine's some sort of paperwork deal
thing, I think.

Okay, well, let me know when you find
something.

Sure. I just don't feel like I'm getting
anywhere with it.

Well, we can't solve it all at once.

Right, well, I'm knocking off. I've got
quite a lot.

I'm going to keep going.

What about your basketball game?

It's fine.

What?

Shouldn't you... What?

Are you getting ready?

Ready for what?

If you say anything, I will kill you.

To go home, have a well -balanced meal
and continue working on the case.

Right. I'm just saying, it might have
been quite nice if you'd have, you know,

got changed.

Changed into what, Colin?

This is all I have.

I can't even shower.

I might.

Grab a stool.

You want to be?

Absolutely.

Can I get you a drink back?

No, thank... You just...

You're just going to stand there?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Matt's got a date. Don't, don't.

Say that.

Hooking up on Bestie? Don't say hooking
up. Good on you for putting yourself out

there. I feel that people only say that
to people who shouldn't be putting

themselves out there. No, they don't. Do
they, Glenn?

No. It's great.

Good on you.

Is that him?

My word.

He's a lot better looking than his
photos.

Look at those eyebrows.

Go on.

Go on.

Mackenzie.

That is I.

How are you doing?

You look great.

Love the waistcoat.

Thank you.

Drink? Sure.

How good is this?

He's a plumber.

Hi, mate. How's it going?

Yeah, good. How are you?

What would you like?

There you go.

Don't worry.

She does that to me all the time.

What did you

get?

Equity investment paid out after minimum
employment.

I don't know what that means, but I
think it's something.

It means someone was about to get money.

But who?

Is this Scott Forbes' deal?

His employment deal. I think so.

Huh.

Hmm.

Hey, Luke.

Well done.

Is it too late to make the basketball
game?

I can make the second half.

Hey, have a good game.

You left your jacket.

What about Dustin?

Who?

Oh, well, he'll be fine.

This is what the apps have done to us.

People don't see people for people
anymore, just...

Swipes. I'm in Andy's emails. She sends
them at all hours.

2am, 3am. She worked non -stop.

Ooh, sounds familiar.

Well, she did, till a few weeks ago. I
wonder if it changed.

What are you looking for?

Oh, uh, Scott gets equity and bestie.

So I search their emails to each other.
It's hard to make out. They don't put

much detail in writing. But it seems
like Andy was trying to force Scott out.

Why would she do that?

Because, according to his deal, he
doesn't get that equity until his

reaches a certain date. If you sack him,
you don't have to pay it.

Well, that could be worth millions.

I wasn't happy. Take this from me and
you'll regret it.

Is that a threat?

Not a compliment.

We're going to go talk to him about it.

First thing in the morning.

Amazing, isn't it?

You have an idea, build an app, suddenly
it's worth $35 million.

Amazing.

Are you, uh... Are you OK?

I just want to have a hot shower, but I
still can't fix it.

Did you get Glenn to do a test on Andy's
hair?

Yeah, he'll call us when he has
something. Can I ask, um, why?

Scott Forbes.

Sorry.

If you don't log it, it didn't happen.

Want to come through?

Was Andy trying to fire you?

What? Well, you're due to get equity in
the company in a couple of weeks, aren't

you?

So?

If you take this from me, you'll regret
it.

That was an email that you wrote to her.
Was she trying to get rid of you so you

wouldn't get your shares?

No.

Andy and I had a chat about my role in
the company, sure.

But that's totally normal.

What would she regret taking from you?

We were talking about renegotiating some
of the deal. It got a little bit spicy.

But again, that's totally normal.

And then we came to an agreement. I
stayed on.

Now it'll be easy to get your equity,
won't it?

I don't know what you're saying.

Andy wants to sack you so you wouldn't
get your shares.

You threatened her.

Now she's dead.

And when the sale goes through, you'll
get a big piece.

She already agreed to keep me on, so I'd
get my money regardless. Then why shred

those? Because Andy asked me to.

When a company's for sale, a potential
buyer does what we call a vibe check.

Sniffs around, see if everything's in
order.

Andy wasn't.

No, it was fine.

It was just dotting the I's.

Andy had high standards, that's all.

Do you recognise this?

It's a coaster.

So what?

That's what we need for now.

Is Colin coming?

Yes, he is just giving a safety lecture
to some kid without a helmet.

So, uh, your date?

Dustin. Dustin.

Dustin. Right.

Not your type, or...?

You seem very interested.

I'm just making conversation.

Unbelievable. They tear around on those
things, 30 Ks an hour, bored under their

arm, no helmet on, they're going to kill
themselves.

I'm putting my foot down.

Oh, and his hair first.

It's done.

Before we talk results, why do you want
me to do this exactly?

She started sleeping.

She was emailing 24 -7 and then, like
that, she's getting eight hours.

Yeah, because she was taking sedatives.

What sort of sedatives?

Dimazopam in Andy's hair test.

Andy had fired eight assistants in the
last two years.

Any idea why?

No.

This prescription is from two weeks ago,
and that's... Yeah, it's about half

empty. He must be taking three a night?

Four, maybe.

Oh, and here's something.

Andy's toxicology shows that she was
also a very heavy user.

Despite having no prescription.

Andy emailed you day and night, she
hardly slept, and then suddenly she's

emailing during the day. Why's that?

I don't know.

Do you know what I think?

I think you were worked to the bone, you
needed a break, so you drugged her with

your sleeping pills.

Okay, Andy was a monster.

Right, you don't understand.

She wouldn't stop. She was so unhinged.
She would literally throw things at

people. And not small things, either.

Her tablet.

It was broken.

Yeah, look.

A couple days ago.

And it wasn't even my fault. She just
found out that Brooklyn was charging,

like, expensive lunches to besties.

HR lunches. Whatever, I don't know.

Surely. Bestie can afford a lunch or
two. Right? But no, Andy had to be in

control of absolutely everything.

Especially Brooklyn. Kept her so -called
bestie on a leash.

The only reason that Brooklyn was
allowed to have the stupid ceremonies

because it was... Well, it was where she
came up with the company's best ideas.

Okay, so why go to the ceremonies if you
hated her so much?

Girl, you'd think I had a choice.

Times are tough, all right? I need this
job. And you knew you were the next

assistant on the chopping block, and so
you killed her.

No, no!

I...

No, I just put the sleeping pills in her
tea so that she wouldn't work me all

night long. I was crashing out from the
exhaustion.

What would you do?

Even if I used a deep poison, Andy...

We don't know how she did it. We don't
know how any of them did it. We don't

know how the killer got the poison in
the bowl.

And they must have, because it wasn't in
the tea they all drank, and it couldn't

have been in her bowl beforehand.

Because they all took a bowl at random
in the half moon.

Descended from the sky and fell into the
pile.

Oh, yeah. I'm pondering that day and
night.

Hey, here we go.

Thank you.

He hung around for an hour, you know.

Who?

Your date.

Dustin. Right.

She seemed very keen.

Debbie? Oh, yeah, I thought so.

Oh, how are the dress fitters going?

Ah, slowly.

Everyone wants me in something
traditional, but it doesn't feel right

know?

Is that Brooklyn?

What?

How much is that bottle worth?

$110. I know. I sell it, and even I
think it's ridiculous.

I went Brooklyn and made a cool bottle
of expensive champagne.

Sorry, sorry. Get out of my way.

And there were two glasses.

One of them hadn't been... One of those
glasses hadn't been poured yet.

Maybe she was meeting someone. Someone
she didn't want us to see. So the

question is, who?

What was Brooklyn paying you for?

Oh, we don't have to be anywhere.

Did she pay you to poison Andy?

I didn't poison anyone.

Only a few days ago you confessed to
accidentally killing her.

And I was wrong.

She was paying me to conduct the
ceremony.

A lot of cash for a drug ceremony.

Spiritual ceremony.

I am an internationally trained
spiritualist. Yes, we heard the accent.

We're going to go in there in a few
minutes and talk to Brooklyn and she's

to tell us her side of the story. So why
don't you tell us your version before

she stitches you up?

Fine.

The newspaper was going to pay me as an
anonymous tell -all source.

Tech mogul murdered in spiritual
ceremony.

Why didn't they?

I had some questions about the fee.

You thought you could get more money
from Brooklyn not to tell the story.

We've all got bills.

Blackmail.

Effectively, yes.

I was paying her to stop her going to
the press.

Paying her well too, as you can see.

Why was it worth so much to you?

The sale.

You're still pushing it through.

I thought you were too bereft, too mired
in grief. I was desperate.

Desperate to get your full share?

Oh, which you now will with Andy at the
Picture. This wasn't about the sale.

I did it to save Bessie's reputation.

This wonderful vision that we'd built
together.

I did it for Andy.

My bestie.

Andy, clearly very difficult to work for
under even more pressure to sell the

company for huge sums of money.

Gets her supposed bestie to sign away
half of her share while under the

influence. Brooklyn swears to us.

Not about the money, but she is still
pushing the sale, although now that

dead, she will get her full share.

Andy works her assistant so hard, I each
have to drug her so she can sleep.

Andy also tries to force Scott out so he
never gets his equity.

What a nice person.

Still doesn't deserve to be murdered.

We've got a twist for you here, folks.

We took a break from pasting and Groover
here had the bright idea to drop into

the Royale and tie up the coast to
mystery.

I thought it was a bit weird that Andy
was there when, according to her diary

and phone, she didn't have any meetings
there. But I think she was following

someone. Who?

Scott Forbes.

He used to stay there twice a week,
regular clockwork. Why?

When he doesn't live far away.

Well, maybe he was evicted from his
dream house.

Twice.

He was meeting someone. Who?

Brooklyn Lim.

They're having an affair.

Used to. You said used to. Used to stay
there.

Twice a week.

Oh, but stopped last week. Cancelled all
of his bookings.

What's bestie all about?

Keeping people on the hook for $8 .99 a
week.

Love.

True love.

bestie is all about finding true love so
what if what if that's what this is all

about we have been looking at money
contracts but what we haven't been

looking at is love

when you find your person

Half moon descended from the sky and
fell into the fire. She told us exactly

it happened. We just couldn't see it.

Everyone wants to fall in love.

It's what bestie's all about, isn't it?

Helping everyone find their happily ever
after for just $8 .99 a week.

And that's what this murder came down
to.

Love.

But the question that we couldn't answer
was, how did the killer manage to

poison only Andy?

Well, they didn't.

Andy poisoned herself.

Four bowls for four people taken at
random. At least that's what it looked

You told us that the morning of the
ceremony, Andy went to the balcony to

sure everything was in order.

Andy really went down to hide another
identical bowl filled with her own

innocuous herbal tea.

Why would she do that?

Well, Andy never took psychedelics.

Yes,

she did.

Her drug test was clean the last time
you all did this.

And from what we learned about Andy, she
had to be in control, so she never took

anything on your retreat.

Though it was convenient for her to make
you think she did so she could trick

you into signing away Bestie while you
were under the influence. We are doing

the right thing. The killer was the only
person who knew that Andy never took

psychedelics.

Me?

You. I don't know what you're talking
about.

You got pulled over the last time you
did this.

Tested positive. But the person in the
car with you didn't.

Andy.

What you didn't know was how she managed
to avoid it. So you followed her that

morning. You watched Andy hide a second
bowl containing no psychedelics.

And then spiked the hidden bowl with the
poison and luno berries as cover.

Then during the ceremony, Andy made sure
she was first in line, so she had just

enough time to swap out the bowl that
Johnsy gave her with the hidden bowl,

which she thought was filled with her
harmless herbal tea, but actually

contained the poison that would kill
her.

And then all you had to do was sit back
and watch as Andy unwittingly poisoned

herself after she destroyed the bowl she
took from Johnsy.

Or almost destroyed it, Constable
Wilkinson.

Ayesha's half moon.

But why?

Exactly.

No reason.

This doesn't make sense at all.

A couple of days ago, Andy flew into a
rage when she found out that Brooklyn

charging expensive champagne lunches to
the bestie account.

Lunches marked as...

HR, which stands for... Human resources.

So close, but not at all.

Royale.

Hotel Royale.

Where Brooklyn and Scott were carrying
on an affair in room 14, to be precise.

The Bestie brand is built on the story
of your perfect marriage. It was crucial

that it remained perfect for the sale of
Bestie to go through, stay married

or... $35 million would disappear, and
Andy wasn't going to let that happen.

And that's what a bestie is for, isn't
it? To tell you the right thing to do.

Andy loved telling you what to do.

You never did anything without her
permission.

She made you end the affair.

But that was the easy bit.

Because Andy could control Brooklyn.

She chose your husband for you.

You, Scott.

You were the problem. So Andy was going
to fire you. Your email to her, it was a

threat. Take this from me and you'll
regret it.

But it wasn't the money she was trying
to take from you.

It was Brooklyn.

But choose love and you wouldn't get
your shares.

So you capitulated.

Chose the money, stayed at Bestie. You
were forced to work with the woman you

hated.

And with the woman you loved but
couldn't have.

Well, was it that you said Brooklyn?

You just know that everything's going to
be okay.

We thought you were talking about your
husband, but it was Scott.

And you, Scott, knew that Brooklyn would
never go against Andy's wishes. While

Andy was alive, you and Brooklyn, you
could never be together, and so you

poisoned her.

I'm sorry, but this is pure fiction.

Is it as fictional as your running
route?

You run every day, don't you?

If you don't log it, it didn't happen.

Here's your route.

Balcony, bowl.

Do you know what else we found along
that running route?

The poisonous mushrooms you went to find
when you realised what Andy was going

to do.

And that you then put in Andy's hidden
bowl.

Brilliant, really.

You got Andy to poison herself and
destroy the proof.

And all for love.

A love powerful enough to kill for.

That's worth $8 .99 a week, surely.

Scott Forbes, you're under arrest for
the murder of Andy Ross.

That isn't for you.

That isn't for us.

She was my best friend.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

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

Take him away.

Please.

That's one and all. Hey, true love, you
are never going to find it on your phone

if you ask me.

You've got to connect in person to see
if they're right for you.

Aisha!

Go on, go down and give her a
compliment.

I can't do that.

Why? Felix Arthur Wilkinson. It's not my
middle name.

Go and talk to her like a person.

Look who else is in the house tonight.

Justin.

Dustin.

Might be a good chance to apologise for
walking out on him.

Yes.

Yes.

It is a good chance, Colin.

Thank you. I am going to go and
apologise to Dustin for my poor

A bestie always knows.

That's you, is it?

Well, who else is it going to be?

Noise is like a pressure issue.

See, you've probably got a loose pipe.

You can find the pipe and then tighten
it.

That's it?

That's it.

You probably need someone to hold it
steady. I'm happy to help.

No.

I think I can manage.

Thank you, Dustin.

What?

Wait, what?

Where are you going?

Mackenzie?

That's why my friend said that once you
tighten it, it'll... Let's give it a go.

Brilliant, there we are.

Excellent.

Did you need help with something else?

No, that was the only two -person job.

Well, do you want to help pack me up?

I can do that.

Great.

Oh, did you want to stay and have a cup
of tea?

Oh, no.

Thank you.

Great. Great.

Come on, you.

Come on. Good girl.

You are the only one that I need.
