Don't touch him!

All right. Just bring him into shore.

We're going to have to stay here.

Have you got a mobile?

It's up with my shirt.

This is Detective Robin Griffin with the Southern Lakes Police.

I have a body, male, middle-aged.

5'10". Brown hair.

It's Bob Platt. It's Bob Platt.

Right.

You know there's a Maori legend about this lake,

that says there's a demon's heart at the bottom of it.

It beats, it makes the lake rise and fall every five minutes.

Does it rise and fall? Yeah. Yeah, it does.

It was this, um, a warrior

that rescued a maiden from a giant demon called Tipua.

And he set fire to the demon's body while it slept

and burnt everything but his heart.

And the fat melting from the body formed a trough.

And the snow from the mountains ran down to fill it

to form this lake.

My dad died in this lake.

Yeah. I remember. Sorry.

'Uh, this is the Mitchams' house.

'Nobody's here. Call again.'

You didn't hear him fall in? No. We were cruising along.

I was just going...

He didn't call out, he just fell off? I didn't hear anything.

Hey, Bobby, what's going on?

Coke and Kettles, please. Salt.

I didn't know Bob Platt, you see,

but many people wanted to see him drown. Not me.

Not me. Not me, no. Not me.

Did I, uh, did I just say "me"?

You drink on duty?

Hey... Give these to someone else, will you, mate?

The prefect's here.

Excuse me. Are you Luke Mitcham?

Is Tui at home?

I've been trying to ring your dad, but no-one's picked up.

And...

Is he at home?

Oh, I don't know.

I have an appointment to see Tui this afternoon.

If he lets you in.

If he's home.

Yeah, if he's home.

Yeah? Detective Robin Griffin. Southern Lakes Police.

So? I'm wanting to chat with Tui, if I may?

You could if she was here.

Is she at school?

I doubt she's at school. No.

Do you mind if I come in and look around?

Yeah, I do.

Do you mind?

You're Jude and Ivan's daughter, aren't you?

Yes.

And you're a detective?

Hey, girl.

You like dogs? Yes.

Would you like an orphaned one?

No, thanks.

I'm in a dilemma.

This is Bob Platt's dog. I was hoping she would settle in.

She's already bit my dog and she's riled up the others.

Why have you got Platt's dog?

He drowned. Didn't you hear?

She was hungry so I took her in.

No dog should go hungry.

It's not right.

You're going to shoot her?

If you don't want her.

Wasn't there anyone else who could have taken her?

How about Platt's wife? Platt didn't have a wife.

Truth is he was a dumb prick. Nobody liked him.

Nobody liked his dog either, except me.

Hey, Coco.

Hey, come here, girl. Come here.

One of my rescues.

Said she was too aggressive.

Bit some kids.

So I taught her some manners and give her to Tui.

So she's Tui's dog now.

But Tui's not here?

Cos I see her dog,

and her bike.

No. No, she's not here and if she is,

doesn't want to talk to you.

But you'd tell me.

Right?

You're the one doing the talking.

Let me out.

It's good what you're doing, you know?

Helping out my daughter. She's in a tough spot.

Just understand one thing.

No-one loves her more than me.

No-one.

Whoa, boy. Whoa.

Do you know whose horse this is?

Yes, it belongs to a girl called Tui Mitcham.

She's fallen off? Well, we don't know yet.

Well, that's what I'm worried about. I can't figure it out.

She stayed with us up at the camp last night,

but she left early this morning to go back home again.

When was the last time you saw her?

Well, when she left this morning. She went up to feed her Chihuahua this morning.

That was hours ago.

We've got all the women looking out for her.

Hey, did someone check the ditches?

Oh, well, what about up the road?

Not good.

Tui Angel Mitcham. 12 years of age. Five months pregnant.

How long's she been missing for? 36 hours.

That's not a good sign already. More than likely she's already dead.

Anyone wants to come forward, it's your last chance.

The most beautiful person I ever saw in my life.

What the fuck's going on? You said you'd resist this.

It was impossible.

You will go down hard. The search will bring you low...

..to the ground, on your two knees.

No-one likes it.

Face in the dirt.
