Apparently you're
under suspension.

I was stitched up.

I would never tamper
with evidence.

The only station in the whole of
Australia that will employ you.

There's one.

Oh!
Mac, before you go...

Glad to see it's not
just me she walks out on.

Walks out of rooms,
not weddings.

What, six years,
you still haven't figured it out?

You just left without
even giving me a thought.

I wanted more.

Mac.

Heya. Mwah!

MACKENZIE: Frankie.
You could have told me.

(PHONE RINGS)

La Belle Dauphine.
This is Bianca.

I can squeeze you
in tomorrow morning.

See you in eight weeks.
Remember emulsify.

You're gonna look awesome.
Tahnee's the best.

Donna, sweetheart.

Over here.

We're doing extensions
today, Dais.

Yeah. I just thought I'd do something
fun for my anniversary. So fun.

I can still surf
with them in?

Yes. Good morning, ladies.

Morning, darling. Hey.

Morning.

I basically want to section it
off, braid.

That's gonna look so beautiful.
Seriously.

As long as it still looks like
me, you know?

I don't want to look
like a different person.

You'll look like you, but...

(SQUEALS)

Sorry. You made me jump.

Well, I have got another
surprise for you.

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, bestie!

We're taking you to lunch.

We have booked a table at...
ALL: The Hut!

I'm just going to finish
doing Daisy's hair.

Oh, thanks, girls.

OK,
I need to make some calls.

OK. OK, cool.

Get ready, Daisy.

First things first. Blow dry.

(SIGHS)

Oh, I forgot to say,
the booking's at 12,

so we're heading over
in about an hour or so.

Yeah. Almond oil.

And I would love to get
that by tomorrow morning.

Wow, they look beautiful.

What, not too much?
For an anniversary?

No way.

Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?

Alright. Thank you.

I will see you lot
in 15 minutes or so.

Yeah. OK.

Bye. Bye, darling.

Alright, Donna. Let's do it.

Alright. Bianca!

Skye! Lunch.

Bianca. Lunch.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Guess she's meeting us there.

Skye, we going?

Yeah, two seconds,
I'm nearly done.

Hey, look at this.

Ta-da!

What is that?
Is that, like, red velvet?

Yeah. Bianca's favourite,
ever since she saw it in a magazine

when we were in Year 5. OK.

We off? Yeah.

Where's Bianca?

Um,
she's gonna meet us there.

Oh, typical.
Alright, let's go, then.

Still no reply?

She probably just got
caught up on the phone.

She won't be far off.
DAISY: Oh, no Bianca?

Did you want to order?

Know what?

I don't know why we bothered.
She was never going to show up. Donna...

(SIGHS) Sorry, Daisy.

It's fine.

Hey, your hair looks fab.

Oh, thank you.

She probably just got caught
up, you know?

You know how hard she works.

I know how hard
she says she works.

Bianca!

Bianca.

Bianca!

Bianca?

(SCREAMS)

What?

(GASPS)

Is she...?

Oh, my... (GASPS) Bianca?

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

Glenn. Already here.

Hey, Col.

Mac.

MAC: What have we got?

Looks like strangulation.

Suffusion in the face with some
mottling of the skin just here.

No livor mortis yet.
No rigor mortis.

The body's still at a normal
temperature, suggesting

that death occurred some time
in the past couple of hours.

What was the ligature?

FELIX: We don't have one.

Looks like there was a
bit of a struggle, though.

Which means it
probably wasn't quick.

How long?

Hard to say exactly, but if she was
struggling, at least a minute or two.

Maybe. I'll get that.

Robbery?

There's nothing here to take.

Salon went cashless...

11 weeks ago.

Security cameras?

Unfortunately not.

It's a terrifying way to die.

Have you had a
look round here?

Briefly.
But I didn't touch anything.

Massage room.

There's no smoke
detector in here.

So?

So.

Do you want me to refer
them for a safety breach?

Or shall we talk
to the staff?

So I-I sort of organised this kind
of, like, surprise lunch for Bianca

for her birthday. Tahnee...

Jones, senior stylist.

Yeah. Um, so I booked lunch for 12,
and then when it came time to go,

Bianca got stuck
on the phone.

So we... we left.

Um, did you lock the door?

No!
No, 'cause Bianca was here.

And you left together?
Yeah, yeah.

So we were out here and we
were looking at the cake

that I got, which was red
velvet, and Skye was...

Skye Bailey.
Yeah, I'm her sister.

I'm Bianca's sister.

And so I was in the washroom,
and then I came here.

And then the three of
us, we left.

We left at the same time.

So that must make you, uh,
Donna Smithwick, the apprentice.

Um, can you talk us through
exactly what happened?

When did you come back?

It was about one.

So, um... And that's when we...
(PHONE ALERT) That's when we found her.

My best friend since Year 2.

Really? Yeah.

We both wore tiaras on our
first day at Aireys Inlet,

and we've been best
friends ever since.

Down in Victoria?

Yeah. Yeah, we moved up here, um, when Bianca...
Skye and Bianca's mum

passed away,
and she set up the salon.

Where's the smoke detector?

Smo... What?
In the massage room.

There's no smoke detector.

Um, is that...?

Sorry? Are we in trouble?

We're investigating
everything at this stage.

So who first spotted Bianca?

So I've searched the
perimeter of the building. We.

You were guarding the
door the whole time.

Go on.

OK, so no signs of disturbance.
Nothing that suggests a robbery. Mm-hm.

OK, well,
you two canvass the neighbours,

see if anyone saw anything
between midday and one.

Consider them canvassed.

Door unlocked.

All the staff at lunch.

Anyone could have walked
in off the street.

Look at this.

Bianca had back-to-back appointments,
treatments, meetings with suppliers,

evening training
for new products.

She didn't do anything else.

So...? So this place
was her entire life.

It filled every
minute of her day.

Did Donna go through here?

Yeah.

This is an active crime scene.
You can't just walk away.

I just needed a moment.

What were you inside for?

It's a prison
tattoo, isn't it?

Armed robbery.

I did nine years.

It must have been
hard to get a job.

Well, I...
I came here for a fresh start,

but people weren't exactly keen to hire a crim, so...
..Bianca took a chance on me.

That was good of her.

Yeah, she was alright.

As long as you didn't
get in her way.

Did you get in her way?

If there's one thing you learn inside,
it's how to keep your head down.

This is a murder
investigation.

You're a witness, Donna.

So who did get in her way?

The landlord.

She hated him.

I saw them.

I thought she was going
to take his head off.

When was this? Last week.

They were out in the garden
screaming at each other, as usual.

About what?

I don't know.

He drops round all the time.

Hey, Mac.
That's all for now, Donna.

Just before you...
Anything? Not yet.

I've sent the body
for an autopsy.

It was something
else, actually.

I wanted to see if you'd be keen
to look after Frankie this weekend.

Oh. Er... You don't have to.

Mum said she would
if she had to.

But you know how she
feels about dogs.

No, I'd love to. Great.

I'm away for a couple
of days camping.

Yeah. Just going...
Daisy can talk to us.

Yeah, well, just, you know,
drop her over whenever.

DAISY: They didn't leave.

None of them?

Well, maybe to use the bathroom,
but what's that, like two minutes?

It's 10 minutes at
least to the salon.

Did anyone stop
at their table?

Mm... just me.

But it was busy,
so I can't be 100% sure.

They must be devastated.

Poor Bianca.

I hope this doesn't put a damper
on your anniversary weekend.

Oh... It's your anniversary?

Five years.

And you're going camping?

Glamping.

Yeah, it's fancy,
hence the...

You're taking care of
Frankie, aren't you?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks for your help. OK.

What a dream, eh?

Couple of nights in
the national park.

Under the stars.

With the mosquitoes, spiders, snakes...
..wombat.

It'll take a good chunk out
of your leg if you let it.

Mm. Not my idea of fun.

So it seems the salon girls
were all definitely at lunch.

Maybe it was someone
off the street.

Yeah. Possible, sure, but random murders,
they don't happen very often. No.

People are killed by
those closest to them.

You think the staff?

They're all alibied.

At lunch together,
in full view.

So if the killer
was at that table...

how did they do it?

Tahnee Jones, victim's best
friend since kindergarten.

Reminds me of my best friend.
Glenn?

My old best friend.

Known him since nursery.

We bonded over eating glue.

That explains a lot.

Skye, the sister.
Donna has a record.

Robbery, like she said.

Nine years, model
prisoner, paroled.

First job was
apprentice to Bianca.

It's very altruistic of
her to hire an ex-crim.

Mm.

Especially an up-market salon
with a very strong image.

Who inherits?

No will.

Parents dead, so in
theory, the sister. Skye.

And no witnesses saw
anyone coming or going?

Felix and Reggie
are door-knocking.

But the door, it was unlocked,
so it doesn't have to be one of these three girls.

Mm. No.

Bianca was working 24/7
to keep that place going.

She had no social
life, no hobbies.

The only people in her life.
Those three employees.

None of them were anywhere near the
salon at the time of the murder.

So what sort of
employer was she?

Well, they were throwing
her a surprise party.

Hardly the kind of thing you
do if you don't like your boss.

Unless you're sucking up.

I mean, we have all fantasised
about killing our boss.

Hmm. Oy!

No, we can't rule out the
people closest to Bianca.

They might hold the answer.

Well, if they don't, it might be the guy
she owes 60 grand to. Bianca's landlord.

According to these texts,
she was behind on her rent a long way behind.

Donna saw them arguing last week.
What's his name?

Troy Lexton.

Right. Find out where he
is and what he's doing.

Mackenzie, just before you
go, can we have a word?

Mm-hm.

OK, let's get this
out of the way.

HR is sending a
contract for you.

Why?

They're sick of paying
your casual rates.

They want to put
you on permanent.

And no-one in the entire police force has
ever stopped them getting what they want.

But I'm only
here temporarily.

Yeah, but what if you're not?

There's no guarantee that
you're going to be cleared.

I have to be.
I didn't do anything wrong.

And no-one who's innocent has
ever been found guilty before?

This is different.

We had him,
and the key evidence disappeared.

How? Someone on the inside.

That's my theory. Oh, really?

It's the only thing
that makes sense.

Yeah.

Be that as it may,
you either work here or you don't.

HR, they want an answer in
the next couple of days.

You understand? Yeah?

COLIN: Mackenzie?
I found Troy Lexton.

Yes, I said I'd fix
the ceiling fan.

Troy Lexton? No, stop calling me,
or I'll have to put you out on the street, OK?

Uh, yeah. Look,
I was joking about evicting her.

I wouldn't do that.

We want to talk to you about
the murder of Bianca Bailey.

What? When?

At her salon.
Around lunchtime today.

Gee, that's... That's awful.

She owed you money.

She was 60 grand
behind on the rent.

No, she paid me.

When?

Well, not all of it.

She gave me 42K in cash and
said she'd get the rest soon.

Not gonna get it now, am I?

Where did she get the money?

No idea.

My old man always used to say,
Whenever anyone offers you money, you take it.

No questions.

You don't think I had anything
to do with it... do you?

Where were you between
noon and 1pm today?

I was nowhere near the place.

I was inspecting a building in the
industrial park on Southey Road.

Did, uh, did anyone see you?

No, but...
Hey, hang on a sec.

Ah!

Charging for parking
in a coastal town.

Profiteering at its worst.

Look, Bianca could be a pain,
but it's always sad to lose a tenant.

It's sad when someone dies.

Right. Yeah.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Alright, mate?
Uh, not far away.

Why isn't there a smoke
detector in the massage room?

Well, there is.

Look,
no idea how that happened.

I will get on to replacing
that as soon as I can.

In my properties,
safety comes first.

Mackenzie.

(ENGINE STARTS)

She was definitely
strangled, as we suspected.

I found symptomatic
petechiae,

broken capillaries and oedema,
and a broken hyoid bone.

What was the ligature?
Good question.

It definitely wasn't
a hair dryer cord.

How do you know?
The ligature marks.

If it was a cord or rope, they'd be
darker, narrower, more focused.

But these are fainter than
usual and a bit more spread out.

So what?

A belt, a scarf?

Maybe.

I'm not willing to rule that
out at this stage, or in.

I still need a bit
more information there.

Is that it?

For now, yep.
I'll keep going.

When are you two heading off?

Oh, yeah. You and Daisy.

That's why I'm looking after Frankie, isn't it?
For your anniversary?

We chatted to her.
She's pumped for it.

She's got her hair done. Mm.

Should be fun.
Camping, it's just... Oof!

It's the best.

I've actually got
quite a bit to do here.

I'll let you know if
I find anything else.

Cheers.

So Skye's background check
had her living in Aireys Inlet

until she left at 16 and moved
around all over the place,

which made me wonder if
something had happened,

which led me to the local
newspapers, which led me to...

Is that her? Mm-hm.

Hi, Skye. Hi.

Thanks for coming. Yeah.
I mean, anything I can do to help. First thing?

Tell us about being
a teenage arsonist.

How is...
How is that relevant?

That was a long time ago.

What I don't understand is why your little
accomplice was convicted and you weren't.

Do we really have
to do this now?

Your sister's dead, Skye.

Wow. Um, OK.

Look,
my mum pulled some strings.

I don't know
what else to say.

Well, that was lucky for you.

It wasn't lucky for me because
then she chucked me out.

At 16? Yes.

Bianca and I were raised in a very
strict religious household, and...

I brought shame on the family,
so she made my charge disappear,

and in return, I had to go.

Did Bianca contact
you at all?

No.
Mum had a real hold over her.

What happened then?

I went off the
rails, didn't I?

My own mother
completely cut me off.

What changed?

Mum died.

And I know that sounds really
bad, but it freed me.

Like I just felt like she
couldn't judge me any more

and I reconnected with Bianca,
and just everything changed.

You know,
she'd set up the salon.

She gave me a job. It was just...
It was a new start.

And now you inherit it all.

Excuse me?

Well, she doesn't have a will, Skye.
It's all yours.

I was at a lunch and I came back
and my sister was dead on the floor.

OK? So I could inherit a hundred salons,
and it will never make up for the fact

that I will never
see her again.

COLIN: Kicked out
of home at 16.

She looks so fresh-faced
in that photo.

Hair looks a lot lighter.

So the salon was behind on rent,
yet Bianca finds 42 grand to pay most of it off.

Where from?
I'm going to head back there,

get into the books,
see if I can find the answer.

Mm-hm.

Skye's got an unhappy history
with her sister, but looks like

they were repairing it.

Tahnee was supposedly Bianca's best
friend, so there could be something there.

She was at lunch anyway.

And, well, Troy Lexton,
he's a real piece of work,

but he was nowhere
near the place.

Argh! What was going
on in that salon?

Hey. Tools down, folks.
We have cracked it.

Wade Thornburn from Thornburn Quality
Meats from across the road from the salon.

Mm. Now,
he shut his shop early yesterday

'cause the trevally were biting,
but we got him this morning.

Yeah. He said someone walked in
there around about... 12:55. 12:55.

Who? He said he didn't know him,
but he said he was an Asian bloke

with polyester slacks
and brown shoes.

Troy Lexton.

Yeah, but he's alibied.
No, his car is alibied.

How long was he in there for?

Oh, Wade told us he cubed a
shoulder of lamb for Mrs Merrit

and rang it up... Wrapped it.

Wrapped it up,
and then Troy came out.

How long are we talking?

Two to three minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Long enough.

Come on.

Hey. Can you get off the lawn?
I just mowed it.

What are you doing?

What side of the road
did you park on, Troy?

What? At the industrial estate.
Yesterday.

They mark the bay numbers on the
ticket, but we won't test you on that.

So just tell us,
was it the east side of the road or west?

Yeah, I'm not really
good with directions.

East is the beach.
West is the escarpment.

Uh... east.

Oh, Troy.

So close.

You weren't in the
car, were you?

Troy.

Oh, Dad, just...
Just go inside.

Go, go make lunch.
Bloody hell.

Look, you, er,
you can't prove that.

We spoke to Kirsten.

Kirsten at your office, Kirsten who
borrowed the car to do the inspection?

Yeah. Look, I, um...
I was... Oh, and...

a witness saw you going into
La Belle Dauphine at 12:55 pm.

What? That's crazy.
I was nowhere near the place.

Asian bloke in
polyester slacks.

They're wool. Brown shoes.

Well, they're actually more caramel.
Sweating like you wouldn't believe.

OK, OK.

I-I did go to the salon.

Why? (SIGHS)

The rent.

I wanted the rest of it.

I went there to talk to her about
figuring out a fair payment plan.

But when I got there, I...
Bianca!

Found her dead.

I just bolted as
quick as I could.

I didn't kill her.

I mean, why would I?

I'd never get my money.

Why didn't you tell us?

Well... I didn't want to make
things worse for myself. I just...

You know, I panicked.

Come on, let's go back to the salon,
turn it over, knowing what we know.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Just get away from the door!

Dad... Go in.

Felix, can we keep an
eye on Troy Lexton?

Yeah, well, he might not
have motive to kill Bianca,

but he lied about finding the
body, so...

something else is going on.

Yep.

Sick waves this morning.

Were they?

No better way to
start the day.

Being in the
water, sun shining.

The other morning,
I literally saw dolphins.

Oh, in Dolphin Cove?
Well, I never.

I'm just saying.

When I was a kid, if you'd have told me
one day I'd be surfing with dolphins...

Don't you ever
find it boring?

No way.

They jump out of the water!

(SNIFFS)

I was talking
about the weather.

I miss the grey skies.

Rain. Bit of wind.

The kind of weather that
inspires great literature.

Mm.

Only because there's
nothing better to do.

Guarantee you,
if Charlotte Bronte owned a surfboard,

Wuthering Heights would
never have happened.

That was Emily Bronte.

You're making my
argument for me.

This is interesting.

Tahnee has a brochure for
a nursing home in Victoria.

Must be for a relative.

And an unpaid invoice from them...
..for 42 grand.

I appreciate you meeting me
here, Tahnee.

Of course.

Tell me about your grandma.

What? She was meant to be moving
into Heritage House supported care,

but the deposit was never
paid and she lost her place.

$42,000.

What happened? Well... We decided that...
..this wasn't a right fit for her.

Or did you give the money
to Bianca for the rent?

I thought that I was
buying into the business.

Didn't you know the
financial state of the salon?

Bianca told me the salon was thriving,
that we could run it together.

Best friends forever.

She said that I'd make enough money to
move my nan up here, somewhere warmer.

So she lied to you?

She didn't mean it.

She thought that the salon could get over
this hump and that everything would be OK.

And it would have been.

Yeah, Bianca could
make anything happen.

Her mum left her a bit of money,
and she built La Belle Dauphine

with her hard work
and determination.

I was...
..lucky to be her best friend.

How did you find
out the truth?

I saw her give
the money to Troy.

What did you do?

I confronted her about it.

She didn't deny it.

Bianca, $42,000! Please, sweetheart...
You are blowing this way out of proportion.

When was this?

Three days ago.

You must have felt
very betrayed.

Honestly?

No.

I wish she'd told me about it,
but I knew that we could get through it.

We always have.
I knew that we'd be OK.

(PHONE RINGS)

That's all for now. Thanks.

I'll be in touch.

Colin, what have you got?

I'm at the salon.
You need to get down here.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

REGGIE: My opinion...
FELIX: Which I didn't ask for.

You'd think, with all the properties he
owns, he could afford a better car.

I mean,
have a look at the bomb.

Oh, that's nice.

Where'd you get that?

From the salon.

Did you nick it?

No, it was a free sample.

From a crime scene!
That's wrong.

Oh, well, there's wrong and
then there's wrong, isn't there?

And they're both wrong!

What's he up to?

Oh, don't tell me he's going to use
that reject stuff for his rentals.

FELIX: It's not illegal.

Yeah, well, it's still dodgy.

That's a hanging
offence in my book.

Yeah? And how is your
moisturiser going there?

God,
you still going on about that?

When you were our teacher in
school, you went on about honesty.

Yeah.

It wasn't,
There's wrong and there's wrong.

You told us to do the right
thing no matter what it cost you.

Yeah, well, I didn't have to worry
about it with you, Mr Perfect Behaviour.

A little bit of rule-breaking
would have done you good.

I didn't always behave perfectly.
Oh, I think I'd remember.

You were a beautiful boy.

You always got
my special pen.

The top work one
with the rainbow ink.

I haven't thought
about that in years.

Don't know where it got to.

Oh, what's he got now?

Oh, no, mate, don't do it.
Ooh.

I bet you a coffee he does.

Oh, seriously?

Ugh.
Yeah, you still defending him?

I'll build the gallows.

That's the way.

COLIN: When I went through Bianca's payroll
records, I found some discrepancies.

Why did Bianca
stop paying you?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Last weekly paycheque
was the 4th of September.

For the last 11 weeks...

not a cracker.

I was an apprentice.

You don't get paid much.
It's about the experience.

Mm. So, 11 weeks ago,
the salon goes cashless.

A week later, your pay stops.
My guess?

She caught you with
your hand in the till.

It was once.

20 bucks for
everyone's coffees,

which I had to get and pay for
out of my own pocket every day.

So what was the play?

You work for free and in return
she doesn't tell anybody?

Well, she knew that if my parole
officer found out that... Back inside?

But why didn't you just quit?

Are you serious?

I'm a woman in her 50s,
fresh out of prison.

(LAUGHS) I'm not what
you call an easy hire.

And she knew it.

Taking all the credit for
giving me a second chance.

Yeah.
You must have hated her for it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I did.

But I didn't kill her.

STRONG: OK,
so here's our state of play.

We've got Tahnee, we've got
Skye, we've got Donna.

And they've all got motives?
Mm-hm.

Bianca took the 42 grand
that Tahnee had earmarked

to put her grandma in a nursing
home and spent it on back rent.

I'd be fuming.

Yeah, well, she says she's not
angry, but come on.

Alright, so we've got Skye.
She inherits.

But, er,
salon wasn't worth anything.

She had no way
of knowing that.

For all she knew,
it was a goldmine.

And Donna was being blackmailed
into working for free.

Mm. Criminal background.
Desperate situation.

OK, so you've got motive, motive,
motive, but no opportunity.

Then we've got sweaty Troy Lexton
with an opportunity, but no motive.

Argh! Doesn't make sense.
Let's not forget the missing smoke detector. Yeah!

What's that? Well... a woman dedicated
to every single aspect of her salon

doesn't have... Wait.

Are you making fun of me?

A little bit. Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS)

Troy Lexton's a dirtbag.

What's he up to now?

Oh, where do you start?

I mean, he threw his chip
packet out the car window

and was leering at a couple
of girls crossing the road.

Yeah, and he illegally dumped
bags of domestic rubbish

into a skip and pinched some
old reject building supplies,

which he then used to replace
a tenant's windowsill.

Checks out.

I'm all for upcycling.

Like, we are a disposable culture you
break something, toss it out, move on.

But this man was picking through hard
waste like he was in a lolly shop. Reggie.

Mm.

What sort of rubbish?

Oh, it was disgusting.

He grabbed a toilet seat and he also
grabbed this... No, no, no, no, no.

What was Troy throwing away?

Oh... I don't know.

Didn't you look? In the skip?

Yeah. No.

Wh...

First thing tomorrow morning.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Is this where you
pictured your day going?

Bagged evidence
in worse places.

What are we looking for?
Exactly my question.

As Detective Senior Constable
Cartwright has helpfully reminded us,

there was a smoke detector in the
washroom, but not in the massage room.

Oh, this smoke detector.

It had to go somewhere.

Maybe it was never there
in the first place.

Humour me.

Oh, I'm just a volunteer.

You wanted more work to do.

There's a whole
acai bowl in here.

Who would throw that out?
It's like $18.

Oh, no. Maggots. Maggots!

Hey, I don't think it's that bad.
It just reminds me

of playground duty
picking up rubbish.

We'd get the naughty
kids to do...

Happy anniversary,
by the way.

Tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah.

Five years.

Yep.

You walked out on me, Mac.

Remember?

What did you want me to do?

Go live in a cave?
Join the priesthood?

You never called me.

Of course I was
going to move on.

And, yes, I waited a year, and it was a
pretty average year as well, if I'm honest.

And then things happened with
Daisy, and I'm glad they did.

I know you are.
She is amazing.

She is the best thing
that ever happened to me.

I know she is.
So I didn't tell you that

I was going away the exact
minute I saw you. So what?

Mackenzie! I don't have to
tell you everything. I know.

And I don't need you to
get stuck into me for it.

I'm not getting stuck in.
Yes, you are.

You can at least admit that.

Excuse me!

I don't believe it.

Why would a landlord
as tight as Troy Lexton

rip out a smoke detector
and throw it away?

Because of this.

Is that a...?

A camera.

Oh, the dirty perv.

Nope, that's not mine.

We saw you throw
it in the skip.

No, that...
That was a different one.

You know what?

This... This is harassment.

I'm actually the victim here.

(GROANS) (SCOFFS)
Sorry, what?

OK,
so what if the salon closes?

Nobody's going to want to rent a
place where someone's been murdered.

And that's an income
stream just vanished.

So we're working on
retrieving that footage.

Before we watch it,
anything you'd like to tell us?

No. OK. You lied about
being in the salon.

You found her body,
but you didn't tell us.

Bianca! So fine. Yeah.
You're a liar.

But you didn't have
a motive to kill her.

Exactly. And then we find out you're
illegally filming women in the massage room.

Did Bianca find out?

No.

She had no idea.

Look, I went there to talk
to her about the rent.

Then after I found Bianca,
I panicked and took the smoke detector out.

And threw it in the skip.
Yes.

I mean, she...

She was murdered.

I don't want anyone
thinking I'm dodgy.

(LAUGHS)

So we're looking at any
movement at the time of death.

Anything that can help us
figure out what happened.

The time window's
between 12 and one.

OK. So nothing
happened in this room

between 11:59 and when Troy rips the smoke
detector out at 12:56. Let's go back.

Sorry, it's a bit glitchy.

Troy must have damaged
something when he threw it out.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
Stop it, stop it!

There's the wireless speaker.

Well, this was before
the girls left for lunch.

OK, go forward again.

Move. Felix, move.

There was a speaker on the shelf,
and then there wasn't. What happened?

Well, that part of the footage is wrecked.
I can't get to it.

So someone moved the speaker.

Who and why?

Oh!

Oh, my...

How did I miss it?

Speaker...

tunic... (SNIFFS)

killer and the victim.

What about them?

Oh, my God.

We thought Troy was the only
one who had opportunity.

Right.
Because the girls were at lunch.

Right.

And Bianca was still alive
when they went for lunch.

Exactly.

I'm sorry. I'm a...

I'm a bit lost.

Get everyone to the salon.

Including Daisy.

Reggie, come with me.

Daisy?

I dunno.

DONNA: Why are we here?

We're just waiting
for DI Clarke.

Sorry Detective
Sergeant Clarke.

Do you know where...?

Um,
Detective Sergeant Clarke?

MACKENZIE: Donna,
can you join me in the washroom?

Oh, do you mind?

Hello.

Where were you? You were...

Weren't you just in there?
Was I?

Take a seat.

Was I in the washroom,
or wasn't I in the washroom?

That is what this
whole case hinged on.

Three of Bianca's
employees, all with motives.

Tahnee,
she did you out of 42 grand.

Skye, you thought you'd
inherit everything.

Well, not much.

And Donna, well,
she blackmailed you into forced labour.

But how could any
of you have done it?

You were all at lunch together
when Bianca was being murdered.

Leaving Troy Lexton
as the only person

with the opportunity to kill her.
But we thought, Hmm, no motive.

Apart from being a perv.

Well, yeah.

Until we learned he'd hidden
a camera in the massage room.

Told you. But it wasn't Troy.

Well, how do you know that he didn't kill
Bianca to just cover the whole thing up?

Well,
because of your perfume.

What?

When you left for lunch at
12, Bianca was alive.

When you came back at
one, she was dead.

Yes.

Or that's what you wanted us to
think, didn't you?

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what...
You killed her.

While Donna was watching
Tahnee preparing Daisy's hair,

you were strangling
Bianca in the office.

We saw her alive when we...
When we left.

After that, we saw her.

Yes. Oh, did you?

She was on the phone.

Bianca. Lunch.

And that was the intention.

But it was you on the phone,
Skye, with your hair out.

Hair that isn't
naturally brown.

But with a little bit of colour in it,
wearing Bianca's spare yellow tunic,

the family resemblance
was enough to convince,

just for a moment,
that you were Bianca.

Because at that moment,
Bianca was already dead.

But by establishing her as alive,
you created a false window for her murder.

Why would I kill
my own sister?

Ah! Well, look around you.

This isn't worth anything.
No, no, no, no, no.

It's what it represents.

Bianca, the golden child
who inherited enough money

from your mum to open a salon while you...
You got nothing.

You were kicked out of home at 16.
Disgraced.

A whole life was
taken from you.

But she was in the washroom.

I heard her. Did you?

Or did you hear her voice?

TAHNEE: Skye, we going?

SKYE: Yeah, two seconds.
I'm nearly done.

That is why the speaker
moved from the massage room,

where it lives,
to the washroom, Skye.

But Tahnee saw her in there.

Yeah.

Tahnee.

Oh, Tahnee.

Tahnee,
whose best friend took 42 grand,

money meant to make her
a partner in the salon,

and spent it on what?
Rent for a failing business.

Skye alone,
she couldn't pull it off.

I mean,
she could do the killing.

She could impersonate Bianca.

But she needed you,
Tahnee, to sell it.

Skye, we going?

To make sure Donna saw Bianca alive...
Yeah, two seconds, I'm nearly done.

And then to distract Donna...
Ta-da!

While Skye quickly took off the yellow
tunic, leaving her perfume on it.

Quickly ducked out of the
office into the washroom,

and then emerged as if she
had been in there all along...

Oh, hey.

While Donna and Tahnee
were admiring the cake.

Red velvet.

OK. Are we off?

Wait, where's Bianca?

Then you both went off to lunch with
Donna, leaving Bianca alive,

hoping we'd assume it
was just a random attack.

Whoa, er... Should I?

Should I be here or...?
Yeah, no, it's fine.

Please sit down, Daisy.

Colin called me. Mm-hm.

The one thing we
couldn't figure out.

The ligature.

It was something
strong, obviously.

But the marks on
Bianca's neck,

they didn't look like anything
caused by a rope or a cord.

The ligature, it somehow spread
out the force across Bianca's neck.

It was nothing we'd
ever seen before.

But definitely something
you'd find in a salon.

Oh...

Excuse me.

And what better weapon than one
that just walks out the door?

Your hair looks fab.
Oh, thank you.

Oh!

Skye Bailey...
Tahnee Jones...

You're both under arrest for
the murder of Bianca Bailey.

I must inform you that you do
not have to say or do anything,

but anything you say or do
will be used in evidence.

Do you understand?

STRONG: Hair extensions
as a murder weapon?

It's making me glad I
get Madge to do my hair.

Poor old Daisy, though.
Yes, yes.

She did seem a bit shaken up.

Well, good work, everyone.

My top work pen!

You?

Me. Why?

Aaron dared me to nick it off your
desk when you weren't looking.

Oh, God. He was a nasty piece of
work, that kid.

I'm sorry.

And you kept it for
all these years?

Since Year 7.

I planned to give it
back, I promise.

But I just never
got the chance.

I finished high
school, and...

Now we're here, you know?

Doing the right
thing, eventually.

It still counts.

Thanks, Miss Rocca.

Hey, Felix. Yeah?

Might make a decent
copper out of you yet.

I already am a decent copper.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, yeah.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

Hey, Madge.
Yeah, it's getting pretty scruffy.

Yeah. Can I book myself
in for a trim? Yeah?

Can you just give us, uh...
Just a minute.

About the contract.

Ah.

All sorted.

What?

Well, I explained the situation to
HR, and I bought you some more time.

I... I thought you said
they were inflexible.

Yes.

Yes, it was a fairly enraging
conversation, but we got there in the end.

Oh.

So you don't want
me here permanently?

Can I call you back? OK.

Mackenzie...
It doesn't matter what I want.

The only thing that
matters is what you want.

We've all seen what happens when you get
pushed into a decision you don't like.

Dogs get abandoned.

My precious son gets
left at the altar.

Yep. OK. You made your point.

Yeah, but look... Whatever happens
with this inquiry in London,

I do want you to know that... that, um...
..I can use you here at Dolphin Cove,

but only if you want to stay.

Well...

good.

Thanks.

Sorry. I got held up.

Oh, it's fine. We're early.

Hi, Daisy. Sorry about the...
The murder weapon on my head?

Yeah,
it was a bit of a mood-killer.

I... I maybe should have
warned you in advance.

You think?

Look, I know you see murder every
day, but it freaks normal people out.

Understood.

OK. Good.

Well, you guys sort Frankie out.
I'll wait in the car.

If you don't want to come over Sunday
night, it's fine. She can stay.

She doesn't need all that stuff.
She was fine last time.

I've brought it now.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers.

See you, Frankie.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't stress.
Daisy will be OK.

About you.

I am sorry for
what I did to you.

Mac... No.

Please let me talk.

Um...

It was awful and cruel.

And it wasn't fair on you.

Yeah. It, um...

It wasn't ideal.

(LAUGHS)

I put you through a horrible
time, and it wasn't right.

And I never said I'm sorry.

So I am saying it now so we
can draw a line underneath it,

and then I can go home with,
uh, a clear conscience.

The inquiry will clear
me, and...

That'll be it.

Yeah, well,
whenever that happens...

you're in the clear with me.

(CAR HORN)

Oh! (LAUGHS)

Get on it, Glennie!

(HORN BLARES)

Off you go, then.

Watch out for wombats.

You know, it's actually very
unusual for them to attack.

Mm, I've heard it.
I've still got the scar.

See ya.

Be good, Frankie. (WHIMPERS)

(WHINES)

(WHINES)

Yeah.

You're the only one I'd stay here
for, Frankie.

Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?

To live another day,
we must defend and disobey!

COLIN: Victim found
while staging a protest.

You're all secure?
Secure.

How do you murder someone when
you're chained up and you can't move?

Police, stay back.

I was hoping you could get
my engagement ring back.

Oh.

Do you really think that
one of us would do that?

We're a family!
Stop!

MACKENZIE: She's on the run.

Your running away from something
doesn't mean it's over.
