Around here, you need to keep your eye on them kids.

So, she's been missingast night?

Joey might know where she is.

Don't leave. Everyone always leaves.

Anya, no one's leaving. I'll see you at home after.

Philip Lloyd is my father.

I found Mum's birth recordstal.

You didn't think had a right to know

before I moved into your house?

I was trying to help.S)

There's a handful of peopletown in a chokehold,

so if you wanna be the big hero, there.

(PUNCH LANDS)

Go near my little brother,g kill you myself.

Walk away.

Bloody shame. Cowboy was a good bloke,

but he got that shiner at the pub last night.

Who gave it to him?like this, Jay.

Come on.

(DOGS BARKING AND GROWLING)

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Now you're fucked.

All of you are fucked. Yeah.

My baby brother's on the case.

What the hell is this?

It's a citizen's arrest.

They used whatever was handy\c}

(BARKS)

Jesus, Bony, the whole pub witnessed Cowboy out

and threatening to kill him.

Call me that again...

..one more time...

He was the only one leaving the crime in a hurry.

This lot found him. They called me.

He says he was therese he was sleeping in his car

but he can't confirm that, alibi.

Yeah, well, from what I've heard, Sputty wouldn't be the only one

pissed off with your good mate Cowboy.

He's got no weapon on him.

There's no evidence he had anything to do with it.

Jay, you've got no choice. bring him in.

No, no, no.

Family. Conflict of interest.

You give it to 'em, little brother.

..you're drinking buddies with the murder victim. What do you call that?

Right about now I call that history.c}

This is bullshit, Simmo. him!

Oi! Calm down, you blokes. it's gotta be.

..letting him kill Cowboy, Simmo?

Keep that dog on a tight leash,

There you go. You be careful now.

You mistreat a doge might bite.

Come on, calm down. Calm down.

(DOG BARKS)

This'd go a lot faster if you used both hands.

Oi, hey!FFF&}A prisoner entitled to one of those?

You know how I like it.operly this time.

So, when you...when you left the pub,

you went straight to your carp.

You didn't wake up again untiluns going off, yeah?

Yeah, what the hell was that?Salute.

Show some respect, Sputty.

I punched that dog Cowboy

got kicked out,nt to my car and passed out.

So, no witnesses?

There was this lovely littlenning the trivia.

She saw me.&}Bid me farewell on her way out.

Yeah, that's Alice.

I rang her this morning statement on the fight.

She said she didn't see youft the pub

but that you were a real nuisancec}

You kept yelling outhe answers.

Who's Alice? at bloody legal aid.

Yeah, well, I can ring Banksia fast track you,

but they won't, because it's meho you are.

Yep.

If I wanted to kill Cowboy,d a bloody gun.

That's not helping.

Who the fuck is Alice? 1981.

The Princess0&}of Thursday Night Trivia.

She works at the hospitalgirl Mary.

What? That Alice?

How close was she when she said farewell?

Close.

MARY: Alright. Watkins, bed five. Two times 250mg amoxicillin.

Big night, eh?

Hope it was worth it.

(DISTANT ALARM)

That's Swayze again.

Nah, he can waitl I take his medication.

What's he on? .

Miller, bed two. times quetiapine.

And 5mg of risperidone.

Nope, 5mg.ke a lot.

I'll let the doctor know

you disagree withqualified opinion.

One step forward, two steps back.

We get him well, on an even keel,orse than ever.

His poor family.

No family. Stays with Samradise Farm.

What are you doing, Swayze?ke a phone call.

You know the hospital rules. do that.

He shouldn't be out of bed on his medication.

You right?

Hospital rules. Patients can't useone.

I got this.

Try again.

Why don't you have a little rest first, eh?

We can try again a little bit later.

I don't need a rest.on't understand.

What's all this about, Swayze?back in bed?

Told you he can be a handful.

Swayze can bea bit of a challenge at times.

Alice knows how to handle him.

Are you OK after yesterday?

One big happy family.

Gary and I heard Philip into trouble years ago

but we had no idea what happened.

I didn't come here to find my long-lost father.

I came here

because it's the only place that meant something to my mum.

If you ever need anything,ays open.

Can I ask you something?

Alice said Swayze doesn't have any family.

Mmm. seems to think he does.

He asked me to call 'em just now.

Well, sadly, it's wishful thinking.

It's bestFF&}he doesn't ever use the phone.

(WHISPERS)F&}It'll upset him even more.

Huh?

Needed a bit of help from Jimmy, did you, Sputty?

(CAR STEREO PLAYSL HAVE TO GO BY JIM REEVES)

# Put your sweet lips closer to the phone

# Let's pretend thatogether all alone

# I'll tell the mann the jukebox way down low

# And you can tell your friende'll have to go.. #

Yeah.

What? You can't get enough of me?

Guilty as charged.

I love giving youndivided attention,

but I'm actually kind of busy, so...

I can wait.

What are you here for?

But it might have something to do with Sputty being arrested

for murdering the local root rat.

Bullshit.s an alibi.

What, Alice?

How'd you work that out?

ScrawnyFFFF&}passive-aggressive white chick

tempting the bad Black man?

And a dash of female intuition.

I'll see you after work.

Alice, can I have a word with you? It's a police matter.

Me?referably somewhere private.

You police peopleed to communicate with each other.

Simmo rang earlier this morning.

She got all the details she needed.c}

How was your night last night?

Yeah, it was very successful,

The town came out in droves

to honour Sister KerryStag and Boar.

The Easter trivia fundraiseran it ever has.

So, yeah,

if raising thousands of dollars good thing,

it was a pretty good night.

After trivia did you go straight home?

Yes.

Ah... Bloody Sputty.sted him.

He was a perfect gentleman. Doesn't even know I'm here.

And this is a murder investigation.

Uh, yeah, uh... (SNIFFS)

I did, I did go say goodnight to thank him.

He stood up for me when, um,nning his filthy mouth.

He was nice.

Sputty's smart. He's really smart.

He's got a great taste in music.

Yeah, alright. How long were youse together for?

Did you hear the gunshots?

Yes. Uh, it woke us up.

Sergeant, Alice here would like to amend her statement.

I'm sorry.

and we'll get this done?

Someone's in there. I seen 'em.

I don't see anything.

See? Nothing there.

How you feeling?

You don't look too good.

Besides, you're getting discharged today,

so whoever's chasing you won't find you here.

There, see?

Nothing. get out of here.

OK. e use the phone.

I'll find out when you're discharged and I'll come right back, alright?

Loch Iris Salute for the Easter Hunt...

..which way you aim?

East.

Sunrise. usk.

Best times of day to bag a bore.

Were you all together? y year.

Simmo knows everything.

(ON TV) ..the questions of Indigenous people's status in this country

could highlight the need

to recognise our right to be Indigenous people.

You go, Uncle Pat.

..would put on the table...

You change the world I do my washing.

..that continue to lead to discord and division

between Indigenous people and governments

and some sections of the wider Australian community...

MARY: Anya!

..and hopefully find a way to resolve those...

Please tell me you've seen Anya.

I was late picking her up

She wasn't there.

She hasn't been home.cked everywhere.

Streets, parks...ll look out the back.

(DOOR OPENS)

Cowboy was shot

from somewhere around the field near the car park.

He was on his veranda having a coffee and smoking a joint.

I reckon he'd only just lit up when he was hit.

That's barely finished, and the coffee was spilt on the verandah.

Oi! Hey, that's my stuff.

Cowboy was murdered.

Does that not bother you? Bony.

Cowboy was a good mate.

Look...

Cowboy's room was here.

There's no way he was shot from here or from here.

The only line of sight was across to the car park.

He wasn't shot on the veranda.

His injuries would've been much worse.

He was shot from a distance.

OK, so who shot Cowboy's gun?

Well, maybe he did.

What? During the Loch Iris Salute}

See what happens when you try.

He was shot with a high-powered rifle,

slung him back into the room.

My guess is a .308. That's the gun we're looking for.

(LAUGHS) No, mate.one in this town owns a .308,

including some of the ladies.

Where's the statements from the hunters?

They're all in process over there.

Look, the long and the short of it together.

They're each other's alibis.

They all fired their gunstime.

No one heard any other shotsd Cowboy dead.

Right.

You got a hunch on anyone?

Got a lead on Sister Kerry? What about the, um....

What about the blood I found on Joey's shirt?

Well, the results came back.od.

Joey's not your bloke.u that.
