We came to talk to you
about our baby.

He wasn't always by the book.
He was a damn smart cop.

(WATER SPLASHES)

He's got another young woman
with him.

Where's the girl!

Forensics want to do a sweep of the yacht.
I said you'd probably want that.

I don't think we need it.

- So, uh, why did he call you?

I think he was in shock.

Aw, what's this?

It's instant.
You didn't think to call for backup?

I didn't know that I was walking
into a crime scene, Denise.

I...

He just called me
and said he needed me.

Yeah, well, you did everything
right once you were here.

Thanks.

Hey, is it all right if I go
and change my clothes?

I've gotta go give a statement.

Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Of course.
We'll sort everything out.

Uh, wait. Hold on.

The Caseys are arriving.
They're at the gate.

Right.
I'll get some help for Rory.

(SIGHS)

- MAN: Is that Rory? (GRUNTS)
- Get that stupid uniform off, bro.

(PEOPLE CLAMOUR)

What are you doing?!

- Get that uniform off, bro. Kaupapa!

OVER SPEAKER: I was asleep
in front of the TV.

I'd been watching
the rugby, the Test.

I think it was the gun against
my head that woke me up.

And Hoani was just standing there
right in front of me.

- Hoani Casey?
- Yeah.

- So, you knew him?
- Oh, yeah.

I know all the Caseys
from my policing days.

I hadn't seen Hoani for a
while, though... a year or more.

Go on.

He said he wanted the key
to my gun cabinet.

I got up, and we started
to walk towards the garage.

He got a little bit ahead of me,
and I saw my chance.

I grabbed the lamp off the side table
and I whacked him across the head.

And what happened after
you hit him on the head?

Well, he went down.

He wasn't unconscious,
but he dropped the gun.

We both went for it, and we
both had our hands on the gun.

There was a bit of a struggle,
a scuffle, and it went off.

- Did you pull the trigger?
- (SIGHS QUIETLY)

I dunno. I-I-I just...
I was just trying to get it off him.

Next thing I knew,
the bloody thing discharged.

And then what happened?

Well, I rang Jess.

- Detective Savage?
- Yeah.

Why did you call Detective Savage
and not ring the emergency number?

I dunno. I should have.

But I was pretty shaken
up, you know?

I remember thinking,
'I don't know what to do.'

(SIGHS)

I'm s... sorry.

(INHALES)

- Could I get a drink of water?
- Yeah. Of course.

Let's leave it there for now, Doug.

Pausing the interview at 10.58.

Just sit tight, all right?

- So, Petrie's OC?
- Uh...

No, I'm a witness,
but for all intents and purposes,

this is my investigation.

(SIGHS) Well, that all stacks up.

We'll need to get confirmation
that the .303 belongs to Casey

and get the prints off it.

But it's all pointing toward
self-defence.

I think he should stay in Auckland
while the SOC are at the house.

Things are getting pretty
tense on the island.

Agreed.

They're keeping the
body there overnight. - Mm-hm.

Do you wanna go in and have a word?

No.

(SIGHS)

If it helps, you're not the only one
in the programme.

Yeah. Sorry. (SIGHS)

OK.

It's taken a while for the methadone
to offset the morphine withdrawal,

but you should be
stabilised now.

- OK, great. I can start reducing.
- Very slowly.

I just want off, now.

(SIGHS)

You do it our way, Jess,
or this whole file goes upstairs.

(SIGHS)

Small reductions are far more
successful than big ones.

Any side effects?

(SIGHS)

I'm having more flashbacks.

ECHOES: Things can
seem very vivid,

even hallucinatory as you
ween off the morphine.

(WHOOSH)

OK. You're doing well.

- Anything you'd like to talk about?
- No. No. I'm good.

Thanks.

How's the rehab?

(CRACKER CRUNCHES)

- It's not rehab. It's recovery.
- Yeah.

I don't have the, uh,

I was sad to hear about Alex.

Thank you.

Now this business about Hoani,

it's causing the whanau
a lot of pain.

They want their boy back,
so they can do right by him.

Yeah, I understand,
but we have procedures.

We have procedures too.

The whanau needs
to be beside him now.

No autopsy. He's had enough
violence to his tinana.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Do you know anything
about what happened?

Why Hoani broke into Doug's house?

Kao. I didn't come here for that.

Even better when we can release
the body to the family.

Any idea what Hoani's motive was?

The same motive behind
90% of Maori crime... poverty.

He's been attacked.

Until now, Ronan's had

He's been pretty much

Word is the ones who ordered
the protection for him

are also the ones who
arranged the attack.

(ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES)

visit Ronan in prison.

When?

Same day he turned

Huh.

(EXHALES SLOWLY)

There's drugs... high-end,

clean meth and crack coming
into the Gulf, lots of it.

I'll give you names, contacts.

I can tell you when and
where the next pickup is.

- Everything you need.
- OK. And how do you know?

I might've used the Dividend
to do some of the pickup.

(SCOFFS) Oh, OK.
Drug mule. Right.

Yeah. A little bit.

(EXHALES)

The girls weren't
supposed to be on the yacht.

- Mm-hm (!)
- It went bad.

Look, I'll give you
everything you need,

but you have to get
me a prison transfer.

A new identity, the works.

Where are your drug buddies now?
Why aren't they protecting you?

I mean, come on, Ronan,
you cannot that you're that important.

No.

The people I can name are.

OK, great. Give me a name,
and we've got a deal.

(GLOOMY MUSIC)

No?

Hoani Casey.

- I'm telling you nothing...
- Mm.

...until you guarantee me
a transfer.

That's a bad decision, Detective.
