We came to talk to you about our baby.

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

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.

Oh, fuck.

Hello? Hello?

Now?

Yeah. Okay.

No. Okay. Okay.

Doug?

Oh...

Oh, Doug.

Four years in the army.

35 years a cop.

First time I ever killed a man.

Oh.

Uh, no, just, um...

Just put it on the ground. - Oh. Okay.

His name is Hoani Casey.

Have you called it in?

I... I called you.

♪ ♪

♪ Between you and me is a body of water ♪

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 alright 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.

Is that Rory? Woman: Get that stupid uniform off, bro.

What are you doing?

Get that uniform off, bro. Kaupapa!

- You know better than this, bro. - Same blood!

Are you proud of this, bro?

Yeah, Rory!

- We know you killed him! - You won't get away with this!

Got your cop mates fucking protecting you?

What are you protecting him for?

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? - 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."

I'm s-- sorry.

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, alright?

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

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

this is my investigation.

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-defense.

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-hmm. Do you wanna go in and have a word?

No.

Don't really have the time to keep coming in here

and peeing in jars.You know that's the deal, Jess.

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

Yeah. Sorry.

Okay.

It's taken a while for the methadone

to offset the morphine withdrawal,

but you should be stabilized now.

Okay, great. I can start reducing.

Very slowly.

I just want off, now.

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

Small reductions are far more successful than big ones.

Any side effects?

I'm having more flashbacks.

Things can seem very vivid,

even hallucinatory as you ween off the morphine.

Okay. You're doing well.

Anything you'd like to talk about?

No. No. I'm good.

Thanks.

Where are the crackers?

I thought you bought more. - I did.

They're in the cupboard.

Hello to you, too.

- You okay? - Yeah.

- Have you been in Auckland? - Yeah.

- How's the rehab? - It's not rehab.

It's recovery. - Yeah.

Thanks.

I don't have the, uh, peaks and troughs like I had,

but it's certainly different.

I notice the difference without dope.

- You do? - Yeah.

It sucks.

Koro. - Oh.

This is my grandson Nikau.

- Kia or a. - Tuna... for you.

Thank you.

E noho.

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 whanauneeds to be beside him now.

No autopsy.

He's had enough violence to his tinana.

Do you know anything about what happened?

Why Hoani broke into Doug's house?

Kao. I didn't come here for that.

But you and Doug go way back.

We're different men now.

- Thank you for the eel. - Yeah, they're good with puha.

Or wasabi mayo.

Rory, come with me.

You okay?

Well, you know, I'm related to half of these people, so...

- That's why I asked. - Yeah, I'm fine.

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.

Hoihoi.

Pikia, I...

I have ordered an autopsy on Hoani's body.

Why?

Because I wanna know the truth of what happened here.

I want to see him.

Okay.

Okay, but you cannot touch him.

- I can't touch my own husband? - No.

No, you can't. Not yet.

And then he rang you?

Yeah.

You didn't try and resuscitate him?

No. You saw the body.

Mm. Could've tried.

You don't like Bennington very much, do you?

What's that got to do with anything?

Just that everybody else does.

Yeah. Including you.

Hm.

Jess Savage.

Yeah.

What does the label on Bennington's blazer tell you?

He's got some serious money.

Who was that? - Ronan Croft's father.

What did he want?

Ronan's in hospital.

He's been attacked.

- Attacked? - Mm.

By a prisoner or a guard?

We've known each other since kindergarten, Jess.

I know who you are.

Well, you know more than I do, then.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

You know, scans, they don't hurt, right?

- Do you think she's fat? - No.

- You didn't look. - It's 'cause she's not fat.

- Look at those thighs. - She's not fat.

Are you worried about getting fat?

No.

'Cause you will. Yeah. You really will.

Huge.

And your breasts, just ginormous...

and nipples like saucers,

and they leak everywhere.

It's really full on. - I'm not going to leak.

- Tsst, tsst, tsst, tsst! - Shut up.

It's true.

The smell reminds me of being in hospital.

I didn't think you even remembered that.No, I do.

It's just, you know, beforehand that I don't remember.

But it's slowing coming back.

Yeah?

What kind of stuff?

It's weird, weird stuff.

- Hey, Miss Savage. - AJ.

Hi. Yeah, I didn't know that you...

Ruby?

Um, you can still come if you want.

No. You... You guys go.

I'll just talk to you later.

Good luck.

Jess.

Oh, hi.

You haven't come to meet me, have you?

No. I, uh... I just...

I'm heading to Auckland.

I didn't think you'd be back on the island so soon.

Oh...

I thought I'd get things back to normal as soon as I could.

Mm-hmm.

Well, try to, anyway.

Oh. You better... - Yeah.

I... I never said thank you.

Thank you, Jess.

Thank you so much.

No, it's...

it's okay.

Yeah. Well, you better go.

Oh, there's Jack. Jack!

Well...

I'll see you, Jess. - See ya.

We can do better than tea, Jack.

- I'm on the wagon. - Oh.

You're a better man than I am.

Look, I've gotta, um...

How's it? - Good.

- See you. - Kia or a.

What took you so fucking long, then?

Good to see you too, Dad.

Are you getting in?

Um...

No, sorry, I'm gonna walk.

What did you wanna see me for, Dad?

Can't a father ask his son to visit him?

Or are you scared your cop buddies will find out

where you really come from?

I'm not scared.

I hear you're on that killer cop job...

Bennington.

- Where did you hear that? - Listen.

I've got a job I'd like you to do.

Get fucked. I don't work for you.

I'll tell you what.

We'll trade.

I'll give you something.

You give me something.

You don't have anything I want.

Until now, Ronan's had the very best protection.

He's been pretty much untouchable,

like prison royalty.

Mm. So, what happened?

Word is the ones who ordered the protection for him

are also the ones who arranged the attack.

So, how'd you get that out of the warden?

Natural charm. You should try and smile more.

Do you wanna hear the rest?

Go on.

Guess who went to visit Ronan in prison.

- Who? - Hoani Casey.

When?

Same day he turned up at Bennington's.

Huh.

Hey, you wait out here. - You can't see him by yourself.

Oh, shit.

Really did a number on you, huh?

Cramp your style, Ronan?

Chelsea and Talia aren't laughing, are they?

I've got information for you.

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. - Okay. And how do you know?

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

Oh, okay. Drug mule. Right.

Yeah. A little bit.

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

- Mm-hmm. - 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.

Okay, great.

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

No?

Hoani Casey.

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

...until you guarantee me a transfer.

That's a bad decision, Detective.

I've got your fingerprints on my yacht's medical kit...

...the one you stole opiates from.

Well, my lawyers have them.

Put me somewhere safe, and I promise you

the fingerprints will disappear.

Hey, you tell that guard not to let anyone in the room

without my permission, okay?

- Yeah. - I'll be in the car.

Boss?

Oh, yeah.

- You alright? - Yeah, of course.

What did he say?

I think that, uh, Hoani was taking over the...

drug mule business from Ronan Croft.

Right.

Maybe that's why he broke into Bennington's...

get weapons for his new job.

Yeah.

Hey, whoa, whoa. Where are we going?

Oh, shit.

Please, please, I'll give you anything.

Anything, please.

Please.

Fuck! Jesus.

Fuckin' hell. Please!

Fuck!

This is fucking bullshit!

- Hey! You can't do that! - hat are you doing?

I don't have to listen to anything you fucking tell me!

- Actually, you do. - No, I shouldn't have to see

that shit on a ferry! - Hey, hey.

Oh, what, are you gonna arrest me, then?

- I hope not. - Oh, fuck.

Well, have you seen this shit?

Eh? - Yeah.

It's like it's already decided.

It's just, like, one side of the story.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Uncle doesn't get to say his truth.

'Cause he's dead.

Yeah. You're right.

Do you wanna have a drink?

- Yeah, yeah, I'll take a beer. - Okay, good.

No, you can't have a beer. Do you want a coffee?

- Yeah, that'll be alright. - Okay.

Go on... upstairs. I'll bring it up.

You go to school in town?

Yeah.

Must be expensive.

You think my folks can't afford it?

No. No, no.

No, I was just...

thinking that your parents must really care about you

to send you to such an expensive school.

True.

And that you must be really smart.

Hey.

If you know anything about Hoani

going to Doug Bennington's house that night, you should...

you should talk to me about it.

Or your whanau.

Just tell them and they can talk to me.

I want to know their side of the story.

Are...

Are you saying you'd take our word over a cop's?

I will if it's the truth.

You and him are mates.

They say dead people don't talk.

I guess that's true for you, in your world.

Not for me.

You see, in my world...

they can get quite chatty.

Kia or afor the coffee.

Help!

Jess!

Help!
