All language subtitles for [SubtitleTools.com] My Life is Murder - S03E09 - Staying Mum

Hi.

Oh. Oh!

- What?
- Oh, morning to you, too.

You remember the storm
we had a few weeks back.

Cut half the power in Auckland.
Flooded the streets.

Oh, yeah. A guy was killed by
lightning in his own backyard.

- Yeah, it's the one.
- Alright.

Richie Garth. Childcare worker.

Nanny, actually, a Manny.

For some reason,
Richie went out into the storm.

Bam! Struck by lightning.

Yeah, that's the
coroner's conclusion.

So what are you gonna do?
Arrest God.

Hilarious.

He was found the
next morning by Chase,

the kid he looks after.

Chase called 1-1-1
and then he called his folks.

They spent the night
at a five-star hotel

celebrating the mum's birthday.

Shaan and Toby Dunlee.

When we attended, Shaan was more
concerned a man had died

in her landscape garden than,
in fact, the man had died.

Do you know the chances
of getting struck

by lightning in your lifetime?

More than getting
eaten by a shark.

Less than you admitting
you're wrong.

Well, I'm not wrong.
And it's one in 500,000.

Alright. Anyone on your radar?

Richie worked for a few families

at Roderick Junior School.

The parents we talked
to were pretty keen

to gossip and ran
each other down.

I don't know. Still seems like
poor old Richie beat the odds.

Well, then you should
check out his shoes.

White sneakers, mint condition.

Despite the fact that he has
exit burns on his feet.

- Uh-huh.
- Why didn't you lead with this?

Someone put the shoes on,
Richie, after he died.

No idea why.

Well, I think God
is off the hook.

So Richie Garth.

Family in Christchurch.
Loads of friends up here,

most of whom work for families
at the Rodrick Junior School.

No girlfriend or boyfriend
to speak of.

Wow. The IT department
this school has.

I wanna go there myself.

Ooh. One second thought.

I'm intimidated just looking
at these ten-year-olds.

Well. Click there. Friends
of Rodrick Junior school.

President of FORJS.

Shaan Dunlee welcomes you
to join and support our school.

Mm-hmm.
That's Richie's employer.

Had him replaced
with another nanny

before he was even
in the ground.

What are you looking for? Fleas?

Uh, hush your mouth.
My cat does not have fleas.

Oh, 3 o'clock. Alright,
I'll catch you later.

I wanna see this alpha mother
in it's natural habitat.

You're gonna hang around
a primary school,

expect some strange looks.

You say that like I don't
have a plan, Madison.

Hi, Beth.

I've always wanted
to go back to school.

Yeah?

Wow, would you look at that?

Parents on one side
and Nannies on the other.

Okay, so one question.

If I'm going undercover,
won't I need a kid?

Aunty Alexa.

Olive Crowe!
What are you doing here?

Now, this Beth. This is my very
smart-alec niece, Olive Crowe.

Oh! Hi.

- Alexa.
- Yeah?

Did you make your niece enroll
so that we could go undercover?

No, I recognized
the name of the school

the second that Harry said it.

Olive. Well, today
is your lucky day mate.

Come on. Show me around.

Come on.
Go with the strange lady. Go.

Classroom's this way.

All I'm saying
is giving out just one prize.

That's not fair.

There literally can only
be one first place Gilda.

And then the same kid
wins every time, Shaan.

The others get upset. Let's just
give every kid a medal.

Then where
is the incentive?

If there's no winner,
then there is no point.

Oh. Too right.

I mean, this giving kids prizes

for getting up in
the morning is bonkers.

Thank you. Whoever you are.

Oh. Alexa Crowe.
Aunty of Olive Crowe.

Oh, we don't get to see
much of Olive's mum,

Kim, which is a shame.

- Yeah.
- And then her father.

My brother. Will.

Well, it is lovely
that she has you.

Thank you.

Hey, um, are the friends
of Roderick Junior School

going to do anything
for Richie Garth?

How do you mean?

You know.
A fundraiser or a memorial.

I hear he was a big part
of school life.

He-he nannied
for several families.

Yeah, but we're not in the habit
of-of dwelling on things.

- So. Excuse me.
- Oh, fair enough. Okay.

Really, it's a nice idea.

She's just upset.
She didn't think of it.

- Thanks.
- I'm Gilda, by the way.

I've not seen you around.

I'm Beth, just started with
little Olive's family.

Well, I'm Parker.
I'm with the Dunlee's.

Um did you know um, Richie?

Uh, he was a friend of a friend.

So sad what happened to him.

Yeah, he was amazing.

Big shoes to fill.

I replaced him. The Dunlee's.

Oh, and did they love him?

Everyone loved him.

Every family, every kid
wanted Richie the Manny.

Surely he had some enemies.

I mean, we're all the villain
in someone's story, right?

I love that.
I don't know. Gilda, maybe?

Gilda wasn't
the biggest Richie fan.

Gilda?

You will hear her coming before
you see her. She is something.

But what would have Gilda
had against Richie?

- Ow!
- Chase. Are you alright, buddy?

I'll catch you around, eh?

Okay. Bye.

Hello again. Olive Crowes, Aunt.

Hi, Shaan. I believe this
belongs to you.

Oh, my gosh.

I found it on the ground
outside the school.

Thank you, Alexa.

Uh, would you like to come in
for a vino.

A sparkling water would be nice.

Come on in.

Uh, my husband, Toby.

This is Alexa Crowe.
Little Olive Crow's aunt.

- Oh right. Oh, gidday. Alexa.
- Hi.

Please excuse the mess,
I'm designing a flyer

for the degustation fundraiser.

In fact, how would you like
to sponsor a food truck?

Actually, I'd like to ask you
a couple of questions

about Richie Garth.

Oh, and why is that?

I'm a consultant, so I'm just

ticking a few final boxes
for the police.

Well, what more do they need
to know. It's bloody traumatic.

It's fine, Toby.

I knew that turning 40
was gonna be horrific,

but I didn't know it would be

as if my entire birthday
was cursed.

Well, that doesn't sound good.

So we had booked this gorgeous
lunch on Waiheke,

but there was the storm, and all
of the ferries were cancelled.

I mean, we saw that one coming.

They've been talking about the
storm for days on the news.

So I booked a cocktail
thing at the Densham.

So the next thing, we were
having breakfast in bed

in the penthouse suite.

And then we got
a call from Chase.

Yeah, poor kid had woken up

and found Richie
lying out in the rain.

Actually, do you mind

if I take a look at the spot
where Richie was found?

So, it's just, um...
It's just here. Yeah.

Right. What was Richie like?

Uh, yeah, he was a really good
bloke. He's great with Chase.

Yeah.

And having a male nanny
in the house.

People didn't give you, you know
a bit of trouble about that.

Some of the other dads, yeah.

But, I don't know, it says more
about them, I reckon.

Yeah.

Oh!

You alright there?

Yes, this must be lovely
on a wintery night.

Yeah. Good for the old back
after a long day at work.

Uh Tobes, it's time to go.

We have a networking evening.

Don't you roll your eyes.
It's important.

Well, thank you so much
for showing me around.

Yeah, anything to move on.

Still waiting for my life
to begin at 40.

Hey, Shaan and Toby Dunlee
have got a doorbell cam.

Can you get the footage of that?

Yeah, those things
send footage straight

to a connected phone app.
Easy to intercept.

So consider it done.

Madison, you're a bloody genius.

What are these?

Wanted for home invasion,
assault, theft.

He's been falsely accused.

This cat is entering
our home, attacking our cat

and stealing our socks
and underwear.

That is absolute fiction.

I've examined him and there
is no evidence of a fight.

I did find that random sock in
my washing pile the other day.

Well, every home has
random socks, Madison.

Oh, good here's Harry.

Kia ora, as requested

the clothes Richie
was wearing the night of.

Don't take them out of the bag,
they can't be contaminated.

Oh, really?

I was gonna put them on
and wriggle around in them.

Alright. Alright.

Okay.

Any, um. Any undies in here?

You're holding them.

These, my friend,
are not undies.

No, they're not.
They're bathers.

Or as we call them here
in Aotearoa, togs.

Now, Madison, do you ever
wear togs as undies.

- Hmm. Only if I'm at the beach.
- Harry?

If I get behind in the washing.

Oh!

Now, listen, the fact
is most lightning victims

are thrown a few feet
by the jolt.

They don't just crumple
where they're standing.

But Richie was bang smack
in the middle of the garden.

So what was he doing? Where was
he when the lightning struck?

Looking at something
on the fence?

No, I paced it out.
There was nothing there.

Yeah, so far, so tenuous.

We already know that
it was weird he was wearing

these when he was found.

Given that they're
not all melted to hell.

Yeah, like the victim's feet.

Someone put Richie's shoes
on him. We've established that.

More. Someone put all of
Richie's clothes back on.

Because what was he wearing
when he was found?

His bathers.

This wasn't a lightning strike.
This was death by hot tub.

Can I help you?

Oh. You're home.

Uh, not for long.
I'm about to head back to work.

Super, I just wanna ask you

a couple of questions
about the hot tub.

Yeah sure. Come on in.

Okay. So was it running the
night of the big storm?

Uh, it hasn't worked
for a while, actually.

Oh, really?

I'd like to get someone
to look at that. An electrician.

Why? What's-what's my hot tub
got to do with anything?

Did Richie hot tub often?

How would I know?
I'm hardly ever here.

So the night he died,
you and Shaan

were at the Densham Hotel and
you partied in the cocktail bar.

And then about midnight, you
retired to the penthouse suite

and you stayed there
all night, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, no, actually, I, um... I did
duck out to the hotel gym.

Just a quick blat
on the treadmill.

After a night of drinking?

Well, I didn't drink that much.
It's a five star hotel.

Got to make the most
of the facilities.

Right. So do you need your room
key to get in the hotel gym?

Yeah, of course.

Why are you..?

Do you think I came back here
and did something to Richie?

Somebody did.

I thought it was
a lightning strike.

While you were in the gym, your
wife was in the room, right?

Shaan. Of course she was.

Oh, come on,
you can't be suggesting

that my wife
hurt anybody or-or--

I'm just trying to keep
an open mind, Toby.

Well, keep an open mind
of this, Gilda Garrison.

If anybody had it in
for Richie, she did.

Why do you say that?

He used to work for her

but Shaan made him an offer
he couldn't refuse.

Ah, Shaan poached him.

Let's put it this way.

If Gilda were a nicer person,
she could hold on to her staff.

Parker added me to the Nanny's
WhatsApp group chat

and that is where
all the gossip is.

How much of that gossip
is about Gilda Garrison?

Well, chats from the night of

were the first thing
I looked at.

There was a sweepstake about
who would be home latest

from Shawn's 40th
and it was Gilda.

Parker was still
babysitting till 3 a.m.

How come Gilda's name
just keeps on coming up?

Someone gonna take me
to school?

- Hey, Beth. Get on it.
- Oh! Sorry.

If you wanna be poached,
you've got to be exceptional.

Wait, I wanna be poached?

Sure. We need someone to get
closer to Gilda Garrison.

She hated Richie.
Question is how much?

Spit spot. Go.

Oh, Beth you're the
best nanny in the whole world?

Oh, stop it. But, hey, what do
you want for dinner tonight?

Oh, another three course meal
for the whole family?

- Again? Yeah.
- Yeah.

Mwah, come. Yeah.
Have a good day. Okay?

Okay.

- Yoo-hoo. Hi.
- Hi.

Hi. I'm Gilda.
What was your name?

Hi, I'm Beth. Nice to meet you.

Whatever Kim Hutchley is paying
you, I'll double it.

You don't wanna work for them.

Kim's a gold digger, and that

little stepchild doesn't
really fit in here.

Oh.

Oh. Morning, Ros. Justine.

Why don't you come by my place
for interview this afternoon?

4 o'clock. Don't be late.

Lack of punctuality
is a deal breaker for me.

The woman is a bulldozer
in heels.

Super. Check this out.

"A hot tub can be lethal
if there's no ground fault

"circuit interrupter or if
the breaker isn't right

for the wiring used."

So somebody would just have
to swap out the breaker.

And that somebody would need
to have electrical knowledge.

Right?

Find out if Gilda has any work
like that in her background

or she has a link
to anybody who does.

Copy that.

I'm not used to making after
school snacks.

Rice is good for a couple
of days. Yes?

- They can have that.
- Oh, no, no, no.

You don't wanna give
your kids two day old rice.

You're hired.

Seriously, you can see
why I need you.

Um, because you and your husband
both work?

No, he's long gone.

He and the bitch
who did his books.

Did him behind
the desk more like.

What kind of business was he in?

Electrician.
I know what you're thinking.

What was a woman like Gilda
doing with a trady?

He was the company director when
I met him. He wasn't hands on.

But you never worked with him
yourself before the woman who--

God. No, no, I was
a flight attendant.

Oh.

Anyway, I'm desperate
for a nanny.

What happened to your last one?

Parker?

Not the brightest spoon
in the dishwasher.

Shaan stole her from me.

Oh, that's terrible.

Oh, Shaan Dunlee has form. Would
you like to meet the boys now?

Oh, no, I won't.

Jonty! Pablo!

Probably on their video games.

Um. The thing is,
is that I'm not

actually a qualified professional.

Are you okay?

Look, I'm not going to hire
anyone without a... trial,

so let's do that now.

Oh, wait. No, you can't.
You can't leave me here.

Alexa, what are you doing here?

Just checking out some breakers
and some GCFI's.

That's sparkie talk
for something.

- Right.
- What about you?

Shaan Dunlee called.

She wants to revise
her official statement.

Really? Why?

Because she thinks she's being
investigated for Richie's death.

I'm assuming you've been
as subtle as always.

Yeah.

Shaan. Hi. Detective Henare.
We met when--

I know who you are, Detective.

I didn't know that you'd
be bringing her.

Oh, well, to be fair, he didn't.

This woman is casting aspersions
on my family, on me.

I'm just asking questions, Shaan.

I don't want her here.

Alright. Okay.
I'll come back later.

- No, you won't.
- Laters.

Why is this happening to me?

Hi.

She left me here. Gilda bailed
and left me here babysitting

Gilda got a text message.
She freaked out and then ran.

What was in the text message?

Well, she didn't really
wanna show me.

She was too busy sprinting
for the door.

Alexa.

Hang on a sec.

You really tried to kill me!

Are you okay?

Hey. Beth said Gilda is still
at the police station.

Yeah, she says that she was
aiming for Shaan.

Well, she wasn't
trying to kill her.

She just wanted to make
a dramatic entrance.

- Well, she did that alright.
- Hmm.

Is Harry gonna
be okay, Alexa?

Hey, did Beth say what
that text was to Gilda?

Had to be something
to do with Shaan, right?

Alexa. Let's, let's go inside.

Find a nurse, find out
what's happening.

Okay, you do that.
I got some stuff to do.

What stuff, Alexa?

I've been looking at
the door cam footage, alright.

Get this at 4 p.m., Gilda
knocks on Ritchie's door.

He lets her
and she's carrying this

big basket of flowers
or something.

Twenty minutes later,
she leaves.

Look Alexa, we can
look at this after.

But, but, but...

At half past midnight.
The storm is in full force.

And then here comes somebody
wearing a raincoat.

Okay. You cannot see their face,
but wait for it.

Knock, knock, knock.
Nobody answers.

'Cause Richie's already dead.

Alexa, we are
not doing this now.

We are taking a break and we're
checking on our friend.

Well, he doesn't need us
both to do that, does he?

So I'm gonna go home
and I'm gonna chuck

this footage up
on the big screen.

I'm gonna try
to get a better image

of whoever's inside
that raincoat.

I've been charged
with dangerous driving.

I didn't try
to hurt that detective.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
Not even Shaan.

What did that text say, Gilda?

The one that made you so angry
that you drove at my friend?

Someone sent me a screenshot,
a text Shaan had sent everyone

saying that I killed Richie.

Now, why would Shaan
say a thing like that?

I'm not a natural mother.

It doesn't come easy to me.

And Richie was so,
so good to my children.

And he helped us get through
after my husband left.

And then Shaan took him from me.

She didn't need him like I did.

And then to hear that she was
saying those things, I just...

I wanted to tell her what I
thought of her. That is all.

Gilda.

On the night he died, Parker
said that she was babysitting

in your place till 3 a.m.
while you were at the 40th.

But according to Shaan,
you weren't there.

Oh, but I was.

It's just that nobody saw me.

Alright. Okay. Walk me through
your movements.

You went over to the Dunlee's
house about four that afternoon.

To surprise Shaan.

Rose petals on her bed.

I knew that she was upset
about turning 40,

so I thought a little
bit of romance

to come home to after
Waiheke with Toby?

Then I heard that they
didn't go to lunch.

Richie said that Toby had taken
her to the Densham Hotel.

And so?

I went home for a bit.

Then I thought I'd drop by the
hotel and-and surprise them

with a bottle of champagne.

But when I arrived, I saw that
it wasn't just the two of them.

I was the only one not invited.

The 13th fairy.

She was so angry that
the King and Queen

didn't invite her to the party
for the princess,

that she decided to punish them

by putting the princess
to sleep for 100 years.

I picked up a bottle
of Chardonnay.

I told Parker she could have
the rest of the night off.

And then I sat by myself
and drank a lot.

So why did she say she was
babysitting till three?

Well, the wine didn't
even touch the side.

So when I heard her in the
kitchen, I told her

I was going back to the party.

And where did you go?

A bar.

And then a three star hotel.

Okay. That's 2 a.m.
Now, can you fast forward it?

Oh, well, that eliminates Gilda.

But somebody went to the
Dunlee's house that night.

Alexa... are you going
to see Harry at all?

Look, go through that doorbell
footage again, okay?

Make sure there's
nothing we missed.

Shoot!

- Sorry to disturb.
- Uh, Alexa, right?

- Olive's aunt? Everyone's out.
- Mm-hmm.

And I can't stop because
it's due tomorrow.

Oh, they left you to do
the school project.

Look, I'm-I'm not sure
that you should be here

when Shaan and Toby are out.

It's fine. This won't take long.

Just came to ask you
a question, actually.

How often did you and Richie
hot tub together?

You know, it hasn't worked
since the night of the storm.

But this places you in it.

Before you worked here.
Before Richie died.

It's just a casual thing.

Just a booty call thing,
wasn't serious or anything.

Is that right? So you just
pop over to take a dip

with Richie in his boss
is hot tub from time to time.

Richie said Shaan always told
him to help himself.

And yes, it's a perk of the job.

Alright. Now think carefully.

Did you come here
the night of the storm?

The night Richie died?

No.

The doorbell cam says
otherwise, Parker.

And I know that
Gilda let you go.

What happened?

Okay. Gilda got home early.

And she was hitting the bottle

and thumping around,
talking to herself.

So I decided to get out of there
for a bit and go and see Richie.

But he didn't answer the door

and I knew he was there because
he was looking after Chase.

So I went through the side gate.

And then what happened?

And then I saw him lying there.

And he wasn't breathing.

You didn't call an ambulance.
You didn't call the police.

No and I, and I
hate myself for it, okay.

But, I mean...

he was already...

He was dead.

There was nothing
that I could do.

So you just left him there?

I was scared.

Scared of what? If you didn't
do anything to Richie...

My working visa is up.

And I thought that if I had
to talk to the police

that they would kick me
out of the country

and send me home
and I can't go home.

"A horror homestead
in Carling ford County Louth

"burned to the ground
on Tuesday afternoon.

"Home to the wealthy O'Hora
family for over six generations,

"the homestead was destroyed,
devastating the family.

"The fire department
reports a hair iron

"had been left on by a staff
member of the O'Hora family.

"Neighbors say the staff member
was an au pair

"who was on an outing
with the children

when the fire occurred."

Nice one, Parker.

I mean, what if Richie
found out about

Parker's fake CV and she
wanted to shut him up?

Well, you think a girl who can't
even operate a hair iron

knows how to tamper with the
electronics of a hot tub?

True, she can whip together
a pretty mean

papier mâché mask, though.

Oh, hi, Miss Norris.

I'm Olive Crowe's aunty.
She's in your class.

Hi.

Yeah, I was just looking
to see if her name was on

any of these trophies,

but I guess she hasn't been here
long enough, right?

You know, Chase Dunlee's name
is on a lot of these prizes.

It doesn't seem fair,
really, does it,

considering his nanny
does all the work.

Come on, Miss Norris.

You feel exactly the same
as I do about it.

It's absolute crap.

How come no one's
ever said anything?

Nobody wanted to upset Shaan.

But somebody did.

Richie, right?

Gidday, Alexa.

- They let you out?
- They did.

So I thought I'd come and see
how the case was going.

I mean, it must be
keeping you really busy.

Too busy to come
and see how anyone is.

Oh, come on.
A couple of broken ribs,

a superficial head laceration.
I've been keeping up.

So what happened?

Forget your training
to you know, stay alert.

I was paying attention.

That's how I knew the car
was coming for Shaan

and you know, saved her life.

Some people call that heroic.

Yeah, some people would call
that attention seeking.

Gilda send him a room
full of apology flowers

and asked how much
of a donation to the police

would make the dangerous driving
charges go away.

Ugh. Some people,
I think they can

throw money at every problem.

Shaan also sent him flowers.

Thank you for saving
my life ones.

- She did.
- Oh, my.

Ain't she sweet.

You know, her child is the
captain of the rugby team,

but he can hardly catch a ball.

She pays for him to be
best at everything.

And you know who had
a problem with that?

- Richie?
- Richie.

Because before Parker,
he was the one

who helped the kid
do all the homework.

So when Chase kept coming
first at everything,

Richie knows it's wrong.

He goes to Miss Norris,
the teacher.

She goes to the principal, and
the whole thing is shut down.

- Nothing happens.
- So you got nothing to go on.

Hmm, unless Madison can get
into the Dunlee's finances,

find out how much
and when they're donating.

Link it to prizes, sports
awards, that kind of thing.

- Sure thing.
- Hang on.

So you've circled back to Shaan.

Well, the lady's got a motive.

I just don't know
how somebody as small

as she is could move
a body in the rain.

Wheelbarrow.

Oh, you're kidding.

Nah, I don't joke anymore.
Laughing hurts my ribs.

Thought I might see you at the
gate at school pick up.

No, I avoid the area now that
I'm a bit of a pariah.

- Pariah? Will Crowe.
- Hmm.

Thought those yummy mummies
would be all over you.

Well, they were till
school quiz night.

I invited you to come actually.
Left a message on your phone.

You would have been great. All
of that useless trivia you know.

Yes, I would.

It's a shame you didn't
get the message.

Oh, I got the message.

Oh, you don't wanna come.

Well, neither did I.

But all the mummies insisted.

There was even a bit of biffo
about whose team I'd be in.

You always were the most
popular kid in school.

Just not anymore.
What did you do?

Did you lose the bonus round?
Did you steal the prize money?

No, it wasn't a prize money.
It was a fundraiser.

I didn't steal anything except
maybe Miss Norris's heart.

- Wait? Miss Norris? The teacher.
- Yeah.

The one that wouldn't
say boo to a mouse.

Yeah.
It's always the quiet ones. Eh?

Oh, eww, Will.

Well in my defense she agreed

it wasn't supposed
to lead anywhere.

Just a little bit of slap and
tickle after school quiz night.

But your daughter's teacher.

Anyway, she got a bit attached.

A few tears in the staffroom.

Well, the mum's turned on me.

- Well, that'll learn you.
- Yeah, they banded together.

It was brutal. Merciless.

Thanks, mate.

Turns out the PTA mums
move in a pack.

Yeah, they do, don't they?

Yeah. So anyway. School gates,
a bit of a no go for me.

Ladies, we just need the
furniture closer together.

Okay, we want it to be cozy.

Have you come to help us set up

for the platter and natter
evening?

Oh, gosh, no.

But you don't seem
to need my help.

You've got a whole
gaggle of acolytes

ready to do what you want.

So you're just here
to ask more silly questions?

Yes. Yeah.

First prize for you,
Shaan Dunlee

which is kind of amazing,
because usually it's your boy

who wins all the prizes.

He's a very hard worker. Yes.

His father and I encourage that.

You want the best for your son.

But how far would you
go to get it?

That's my question.

I've got 40 ticket holders
about to arrive

any minute,
so if you wouldn't mind.

Richie didn't approve
of helping your son cheat.

He told you that.

Have you never helped a child
with their homework?

There's a difference
between helping them

and doing it for them.

And as for keeping
the donations flowing

so that the school
would turn a blind eye.

Now, you know it,
Richie knew it.

But what about that pack
of lapdog mums over there?

Social death.

Okay. You need to back off
or you'll regret it.

School bullies never
scared me, Shaan.

Hmm. Well, that sounds
like a challenge.

Hey, did you get through
Shaan's financials?

She has her own account. She
makes regular donations, yes.

- She pays for sports equipment.
- Uh-huh.

A new sound system
for the gym last year.

- Oi, Shaan just fired me.
- Wait a sec.

She said it was about
a missing sculpture,

but I didn't steal anything.

Did you tell her
anything I said?

I'll call you back, alright?

No, nothing.

One minute, I'm the best nanny
since Richie.

And the next, I'm gone.

Olive, where are you?

Should I ask or do you want
Aunty to mind her own business?

Chase said he's not allowed
to play with me anymore

'cause my dad's a criminal.

Well, your dad is a criminal. Was.

He said his mum was going
to call the police

because I was scamming people

with my fake chocolate fundraiser.

That was a fake?

I used my lunch money
to buy a box

and then double the price
and sold them.

Wow.

Chase is being so mean
and everyone takes his side.

They all hate me.

Well, hmm... you know,
I could go out there

and menace a few 10 year olds,

which I'm totally
prepared to do.

Or you could come out there
and turn around

and try to come out on top.

I just... I don't know if I can.

Of course you can.
You're a Crowe, ga ga.

She fires Parker and starts a
campaign against a ten-year-old.

I still cannot deal with that.

And for what?

To prove a point?

What else is Shaan Dunlee
capable of huh?

She's mean to Olive again. I'm
worried what I'll be capable of.

Well, she never grew out
of mean girl mode.

Alexa, you know how I mentioned
Shaan's personal bank account?

Mm. Oh, the one where
the outrageously

generous donations come from?

Well, Toby keeps it topped up

with a regular transfer
from his account.

But I just checked that,
and it's in the red.

Look, he's got maxed
out credit cards

and seems to just be moving
money from account to account.

Well, where does his income go?

That's the thing.
I can't find any income.

See you tonight.

Thank you so much.

Yeah. Hello.

Hey, I've got the access info

from the Densham Hotel
the night of.

I'm here right now.

So Toby's room card was used
to enter just before 11.

Really?

So Toby was
at the gym, like he said.

We're back to the drawing board.

Nope. I think I know
exactly what happened.

Gidday, Toby.

Geez where did you come from?

Just taking some time out.

- Timeout's good.
- Yeah.

Of course, 18 months of time out
is a bit over the top, isn't it?

What was it, Toby?

Redundancy? Cost cutting?

Management were top heavy.

Why keep me when they
could hire a 25 year old

for a quarter
of the salary, right.

Right.

You won't tell my wife,
will you?

About pretending to go to work
for a year and a half?

Or about killing Richie?

You still on about that?

It was lightning.
The idiot went out in the storm.

Alright. Yeah.
That's your story.

You wanna hear my version?

It starts with a man
who lost his job

but didn't wanna
tell anyone about it.

You must be on a first name
basis with these ducks by now.

I've been taking meetings,
applying for positions.

Something will come along.

Yeah, the bills will come along.

I mean, your wife, she sure
can spread it around, eh?

It's donations.
She's generous, alright.

Fine. Donations, bribes.

Something had to give. And that
something was Richie's wages.

He was expensive.
So you stopped paying.

He came to you and he asked
about it politely.

And you kept fudging. Lying.

So after a couple of weeks

Richie went
to find you at work.

And that's how
he learned your secret.

And now your Mannie's
got you over a barrel.

Then you promise him
that you'll find the wages.

But of course, it's not about
the money for Richie, is it?

He wants you to tell
your wife the truth.

He feels like she
deserves the truth.

I mean he's only
trying to help but...

God, that made you angry.

You had to watch this
moralistic upstart

raising your kid,
cooking for your wife,

drinking your beer,
relaxing in your hot tub...

and you wished he'd drown
in the bloody thing.

And then you came up
with a bright idea.

I didn't have
a problem with Richie.

Other blokes might.
I'm more secure than that.

Real secure.

You couldn't even tell your wife
that you'd lost your job.

But Richie was going
to if you wouldn't.

And when you heard that there
was a massive electrical storm

coming that night, you thought
it was a literal gift from God.

You and Shaan went
to the hotel for the night.

You knew that Richie would have
his usual soak in the spa

once Chase was asleep.

So you wired the spa
to electrocute him

the moment he turned it on.

You and Shaan were
at the hotel when he died.

You waited until
it was late enough.

Slipped home, and there he was.

Now, you just had to put his
clothes back on.

Drag him away from the pool.
And everyone would blame God.

I was at the Densham Hotel
with my wife. All night.

Except for when you
were in the gym.

Yep. Smashed out 5k
on the treadmill.

You definitely went
past the gym door,

waved your hotel card
at it so that

it would register
that you'd been there.

But you didn't go in.

If you had, you would
know that the gym was

under a meter of water.

It was a huge flood
from the storm.

In fact, they still haven't
quite finished the repairs.

And yet there you were on a
treadmill in the floodwater.

That's a bit dangerous.

Do you know how hard it is
to have to pay someone...

to be a dad to your own kid?

Even now, Chase
isn't interested in me.

You set it up so that
Chase would find

Richie's body in the morning.

No!

You left your own son
sleeping alone in a house

while his caregiver
was dead in the garden.

I didn't mean
for that to happen.

Richie usually brought Parker
over when we were out,

and I thought she'd find him.

I thought I was gonna
lose everything.

Do you know what that's like!?

Back at work so soon, Harry.

Like you'd be any different.

Hey, did you forget something?

I very much doubt it.

Did you forget
to say something to me?

Harry, I am glad you're okay.
And you really scared me.

Oh, thanks.

Well, I mean,
"You're right, Harry.

It wasn't lightning, Harry,"
but I'll take the other thing.

- Faster. Faster.
- Faster!

- Guess what?
- What?

- I got a prize at school.
- What for?

Service and entrepreneurship.

My chocolate fundraiser that
I did of my own initiative.

I raised $92 for the school.

Well played, Olive Crowe.
Well played.

And what's equally
awesome is that

those people who are
accusing my cat...

they've backed off.

- They have?
- Yeah, they were wrong.

They said different cat.
They said.

And I never doubted you
for a moment.

You're such a good boy,
aren't you? Yes, you are.

- It was definitely Chowder.
- It was.

But I bribed the other
cat owner with a box

of your chocolate bars
and the micro chipped cat door.

- Genius.
- Oh, I know.

Where'd that come from?

Oh, Chowder.
Where did that come from?

Well, if you don't tell,
I won't tell.

You're still the best boy.
