(INDISTINCT CHILDREN CHATTER)

Children bring weird

stuff to school.

It happens.

But this

Can I see it?

Oh, OK.

This is one

of my father's old work photos.

Bear solved that in one day.

Yeah, they're very close.

Look, I'm sure all that Alice

wanted to do was show off

her granddad's handy work.

It's so lovely

she has connection with him.

But we do have to consider

the impact on the other children.

It's just a photo.

It's two people missing their heads.

Uh, they didn't lose them,

Miss Julia.

They've been decapitated.

So, last month,

a student left a pile of human waste

on the gym floor.

But the culprit

was never publicly identified.

For very good reason.

But you've just singled

my daughter out.

You've held her back while everyone

else goes home over a photograph.

There will need to be an apology.

Thanks, Julia.

Mum, they watch weird warrior stuff

and video games.

Heads exploding and dead bodies

flying through the air.

This isn't just dead bodies, Alice.

This is two people having

the worst day of their lives.

And listen, that could be the family

of someone at your school.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hi.

Uh, just doing the school run.

What's up?

Yeah, OK, talk to locals.

I'll meet you there.

Hey. Hey, Dad.

Can you give me a call

when you get this?

I need you to pick up Alice.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Are we in a crime scene?

Can I please come, please?

Who are you kidding, Kid? Here.

Granddad's on his way.

Get him to bring me these.

Come here.

Love you, Mum.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Stay.

Woof!

(THEME MUSIC)

(AMBULANCE SIREN WAILS)

Boss.

Detective?

Call came in just after 3:30.

Sonia Matthew is 35.

Two g*nsh*t wounds,

one on the left shoulder,

one on the back of the head.

Lives here with husband,

Mike Simpson.

Where is he now?

At work.

He's been informed

by the local unit.

I've asked them to hold him in.

It looks like

she pulled in the drive way,

grabbed her groceries

Can you just hang on a sec?

I'm sorry, my bad.

The wound in her head,

there's a burn mark around it

and the hair cinched.

She's been ex*cuted.

But here and her

How does that make sense?

Who called it in?

Step son, Connor, eight-years-old.

Ran across to the neighbours.

Eight?

sh*t, Jarred.

Yeah.

He's in my car.

Thank you.

Hey, Connor.

Hi. I'm Holly. I'm a detective.

I'm so sorry

about what happened today.

You did a really good job,

though, going for help.

Did you see what happened?

Yes.

I man run after Sonia,

and he shot her.

She fell in the grass.

OK.

Did you see the man's face?

I couldn't. He had a mask on.

He had a mask on.

And was that just

covering his mouth?

No, his whole head was covered.

His whole head.

Was it like a ski mask?

Yeah, that and black gloves.

Connor!

Connor! Oh!

Oh, my god!

Oh! Are you OK?

Mike and I have been divorced

since Connor was a toddler.

He left me for Sonia, actually.

That must've been hard.

Yeah.

But she's-she's been lovely Connor.

Um, couldn't have hoped for a better

step mum for him, really.

You-you last spoke to her.

I texted her this afternoon

about picking him up.

OK.

Was Mike ever violent

towards you when you were married?

No.

What about towards Sonia?

Not that I know of.

You-you don't think Mike did this,

do you?

We always start with next of kin

so we can strike him of our list.

Any recent stresses?

Connor's been accepted

into a better school right near us.

We're reworking custody but

OK.

Unfortunately, Connor,

has witnessed the incident,

which means we may need

to ask him some more questions

but it won't be today.

Thank you, Detective.

I don't want my son

to think about this ever again.

I understand, but just in case.

Can we go?

Mm-hm. Sure.

Connor.

Jarred.

Come on, Connor.

Come on.

(EXHALES)

(LAUGHS) Good to see you.

Cheers. See you, mate.

Thanks for this, Dad.

No worries.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey.

Did you, um, speak to the husband?

Yeah.

(SCOFFS)

Never crossed my mind, right.

Hey, listen, did Alice told you

what happened at school today?

What?

The photo.

Old Hamilton case.

Where did she get it?

I don't know.

Well, she showed

it to her classmates, Dad.

It's not OK.

Well, at least I didn't take

my little girl to a m*rder scene.

(SCOFFS) Thanks for the keys.

Holly.

Yup.

So, I found these things

in the bottom of the car.

They must have

fallen out of Sonia's hand bag,

including a positive pregnancy test.

OK.

The house is being examined

by our forensic unit.

So, we'll organise a place

for you to stay for a day or two.

Where is my boy, Connor?

He's fine.

He's with his mother.

Is there a problem with that?

Can you talk us through your day?

I, um, came here at 9:00.

Mm-hm.

Had a meeting with a client.

Then I, uh, went to a design seminar

at the Wallace Centre

and left around 12:00 and 12:30.

I got back around 4:00.

How did you get there and back?

My car. I drove.

What type of car do you drive?

A black Audi A3.

Mike, is there any reason

why someone who wanna hurt Sonia?

No, of course, not.

And she hasn't fallen out

with anyone?

No.

I mean, has anything happened

in the last couple of days

that seemed out of the ordinary?

No. No.

Unexpected news?

No.

OK. We're going to get you settled.

We'll have to do a blood draw,

take some prints.

Just, it helps us eliminate you

from the crime scene.

That's fine. I'm happy to do it.

OK.

Uh, thank you for your time.

And again, our condolences.

Melbourne is reeling

today following emerging news

of a horrifying crime,

which has shattered

the peaceful north-eastern suburbs.

We're across live now to police

headquarters for the latest update.

At this stage, we can't confirm

that there was a sh**ting,

which resulted in one fatality.

At 3:32 this afternoon,

officers responded to a call

and discovered a woman

k*lled in broad day light

after picking up

a child from school.

Straight to the very heart

of our community and home.

Share in the outrage this callous,

brazen act.

Now our detectives

I'll meet you upstairs.

Hey, Mister Prosecutor.

Hey.

How'd the hearing go?

Not great.

Was just commiserating

with armed robbery.

Sorry I couldn't get across town.

Nah, it's OK.

Um, I mean, Alice

has to write a note

but I managed to just move it over.

I'm sure you did.

I'll speak to Bear.

Nah, I've dealt with him too.

Heard about the sh**ting.

Yeah.

Hey, there's a shepherd's pie

in the freezer.

Can you pop it in the oven for Alice

when you get home?

(SCOFFS)

I'm going for a drink with Dylan.

I think I told you.

No, you did tell me that.

Here I was just thinking he had

hung around to say hello to me.

Yeah, no.

Stop harassing that poor woman

you happy prick.

Mate, the shine on that

suit is making my eyes bleed.

Look at that.

Dylan.

Holly.

Looks like

you're in for big night too.

Yeah.

But, hopefully, I won't wake up

in the morning

regretting my existence.

Oh, come on, I'll make sure Luke

has a few waters along the way.

Goes so well with scotch.

Don't worry about it.

I'll speak to Bear.

No, I'm not worried. I'm just busy.

Thanks.

Phone tap on the husband should be

up in the next ten minutes.

Great.

OK.

So, Sonia was born in the UK.

Came here

on a backpack visa in 2012.

Employed at Bistro Lille.

I've got her social media account.

She married Mike five years ago.

Big wedding in Q (Queensland),

her parents flew out.

It was lovely.

OK. Any criminal history?

No, she's as clean as they come.

What about the ex-wife?

Did some preliminaries on her.

Bianca White hold no arrest,

no criminal record.

OK. Keep her in the mix.

There's some tension around custody.

And can you check out

the new husband?

Quentin Whitehall.

He's a criminal barrister.

Just finished

the Longwarry trial.

Well, that was the sh**ting

at the bikie clubhouse.

Yeah,

he managed to get his client off,

even though the g*n

was found in the guy's storage.

Well, put him on the list, too.

Guys.

Inspector.

This is Gabe.

Topped his class in tech.

He's here to help.

Great. Uh, I'm Holly.

Uh, Gabriel King.

Jarred Pines.

What happened to the foot?

Uh Training accident.

Just tell me

it's not a g*n shot wound, Mate.

No, it's, um, it's better, so.

I'm Maia.

We have CCTV coming through now.

Great.

Um, I can take a look at that.

OK. Over here.

We got

it from the house opposite Sonia's.

Is he permanent?

Uh, it's up to you, really.

He's been in uniform

about seven years.

Graduated detective

training six weeks ago.

Green.

And talented.

I think with the right guidance,

he might make a good addition.

We all need someone

to get us a break, right?

Mm-hm.

So, how's it looking?

Well, my eye witness

is an eight-year-old.

Yeah. You've dealt with worse.

Yeah, but he's been through enough.

He doesn't need me

poking on his wounds.

Well, just make sure

that you don't have to.

OK?

Mm-hm.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

I've left a message

with the Wallace Centre.

Waiting on call backs

to check Mike's alibi.

OK, good. Go for it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Sonia arriving home.

Black car goes past.

First shot.

Second.

Three misses.

Well

Oh no.

Um, no movement,

not for about two minutes.

Then this.

God.

I hate anything to do with kids.

It's so cringey.

It's not really about

you right now, Jarred.

Um, can you take me back

to the sh**ter?

Could that be the husband?

Similar size.

What kind of car went through frame?

Uh, Mercedes.

I've put out an alert.

Mmm. Mike drives an Audi.

It's just so strange

that he didn't mention Sonia's

pregnancy at all.

Maybe she hadn't got around

telling him.

Maybe she knew what he'd do.

OK, so, um, let's just

prioritise those three lines.

Mike is the sh**ter,

Mike has hired someone to k*ll her,

or it's a commission

to hit by an outside party.

Maia, can you look for money trail?

If Mike did organise it,

then he had to buy a g*n

or pay that fool to do it for him.

Back in a minute.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

sh*t.

I'm too scared to walk out the door.

How can anyone feel safe?

Go to the door now when there's

a mad man like this on the loose.

That's gotta be

our number one priority.

There's growing outrage in Melbourne

after the parents of m*rder*d

Greensborough woman, Sonia Matthews,

shared a heart-breaking last message

from their beloved daughter.

Happy birthday, Mum.

Me and the family miss you so much.

I wish I was there

to give you a big hug.

I promise I'll be there

with you for Christmas.

(CARS HONK)

(MESSAGE ALERT)

Oh, grumpy text

between Sonia and Bianca,

three hours before the sh**ting.

Yeah?

Bianca, "Picking up at 3:30."

Sonia, "6pm as agreed.

Mike wants to see him after work."

Bianca, "3pm, don't d*ck me around."

Mmm.

Bianca made it sound like

they were friends

or, you know, friendly anyway.

Hey, uh, Holly,

um, uniform's found a Mercedes.

Same make

and model as the one in the footage,

and it was stolen

just before the hit.

Abandoned in a paddock

near Thomastown.

OK.

But it's been torched.

Nothing left in it to ID a sh**ter.

No DNA profile, no fingerprints.

Because that would be way too easy.

OK.

Hey, how's the money trail going?

Few gaps in is spending

we can't account for.

Nothing to cover a hit,

but I doubt that would be in his

day-to-day banking accounts anyway.

But he might have others ways

of moving money.

Yeah, yeah, we need to access

his hardware.

The Wallace Centre

doesn't have a record

of Mike attending

the design seminar.

But they also said it was obligatory

to sign the register.

They did mention he was booked

in with a colleague, Dallas Lang.

She didn't sign it either.

Check the company website.

OK, you two look into her.

I'm gonna take Gabe to Sonia's.

OK.

Let's make sure

we haven't missed anything.

What do you think

is going on with Holly?

What do you mean?

She's edgy.

Don't you reckon?

'Cause she told you to shut up?

(LAUGHS)

That's probably just the case.

There he is, Mike Simpson

orthopaedic design engineer.

Here's a profile.

Interesting. She's an accountant.

When did being an accountant

become interesting?

(LAUGHS) No.

I mean, why would an accountant

go to an orthopaedic design seminar?

Hold on. Bring up Sonia's photos.

Mmm.

There was a picture

of them at the bar.

There.

I've always loved design

of any kind.

Even orthopaedic?

Mmm.

Dallas,

I've spoke with the Wallace Centre,

and they have no record

of your attendance.

OK, look

Don't waste our time, please.

We didn't go the seminar.

We played tennis.

What time did you get back to work?

Uh, we took separate cars.

Maybe 2:30, 3:00.

And Mike?

4:00-ish.

Why did it take Mike

so much longer to get back to work?

He said he'd stop for a shower.

Look who we got.

Hi there.

Hi.

Did you know her?

Uh, the kids

played out in the street.

Said hi occasionally,

but, um, no, not really.

OK. Never mind. It's OK.

Hey, Rose.

Huh. Hey.

Uh, pathology results are through.

Oh, yeah.

Sonia was eight weeks pregnant,

and confirms it was the husband.

OK.

Yeah.

Um, so, we are pretty much

done here.

So do you want me

to lock up or you

No, I'll take care it.

It's fine. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You take a girl

to the nicest places.

How's the underworld treating you,

Keith?

Uh, you know,

same sh*t different bucket.

Right out doing Dylan's dirty work.

What can I do you for?

That sh**ting in Greensborough,

it's a chance it could be

an organised hit.

So, this is the husband.

Oh, yeah.

Can you ask around and see if anyone

might've done a job yesterday?

Has he got that kind of cash?

Mmm.

Can't get anyone decent

to front him the 100 grand?

Yeah.

Decent might be a generous

description of our sh**ter.

How much does a 9mil

cost these days?

Clean one, 20 grand give or take.

OK, maybe ask about that too.

Sure. Why not?

So, uh, got any cash

in the budget for me on this one?

I might have,

uh, like, 20 bucks in my purse.

Mm-hm. Mmm, I'll take it.

Get stuffed.

(LAUGHS)

You put it on Dylan's account.

Yeah, yeah.

Mm-hm.

Hey, uh, looking good, Holls.

You look like

you haven't slept in a week.

Yeah, that's the look I'm going for.

See ya.

What have you got, Gabe?

OK.

So, in-in June of 2015,

Mike opened a national bank account,

and the sum of

$10,000 was deposited.

But it was instantly transferred out

to a HSBC account in Hong Kong.

He's sending money offshore?

Uh, just once.

No other activity on the account?

Literally one transaction,

ten grand in and out.

But here is

where it starts to get dodgy.

I found this USB

in Mike's home office drawer.

Uh, it's a bitcoin wallet.

OK. So, how much is in there?

Um, well, there's no way to know.

It's password protected.

But it is dated July of 2015.

So, even after crypto shut itself,

ten Gs in Bitcoin in 2015.

It's worth around 200 grand now.

That will pay for a hit man.

Or a g*n.

I just can't get the picture

of Sonia out of my head.

Sonia Matthew's m*rder

certainly stirred up

I wanna know if it could happen

to me or-or not, I mean

They got all the stuff, right?

..can someone just tell us

You know, cameras and sh*t.

You've already started.

I'm really sorry.

No, all good.

I just got home myself.

Mmm.

Yup.

Is that your famous chicken?

Yup, special request.

Oh!

Yeah.

Where are you? Here.

Well, there is more.

So yummy.

Yeah.

How's work?

Yeah, did you find a suspect?

Can I do I'm gonna have

a bite of chicken first

and then I'll tell you everything.

OK.

Have you established

You need motive, means, and

Opportunity!

Opportunity.

Yes, you need to work on

getting your suspect to talk,

because nothing beats

a good confession.

Yeah.

Uh, don't push it, Alice.

You still need

to make an apology to 4B.

But you fixed that with Ms Julia.

Mm.

You still have to do your part.

Yeah.

Well, actually, may be Bear

can help you with that.

Yeah, sure.

Wine?

No, thanks.

Sure?

Yeah.

Not bad.

Woah! Is it great?

Not bad.

Whoo!

Ooh! What's this?

Alice, can you sit down, please?

A-Alice, out of there. Come on.

Hands up. You're under arrest.

(LAUGHS) You are dead.

Well, you never walk up

to a suspect alone.

Because someone

is gonna do exactly what I did

and that won't be just

a finger that's pointed at you.

It will be

OK, enough, Dad.

Enough.

Case going that well, eh.

I'm just gonna have a quick shower.

OK.

I was just kidding.

It's OK.

Um.

Is everything OK?

Yeah,

just sick of my dad's bullshit.

(EXHALES) How was last night?

It was great.

Yeah.

Until Dylan

started crying into his bourbon.

About Shawn?

He says it's only been

nine months since she died,

and everyone's already

forgotten about her.

That's not true. I think about her.

I know.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

you know it's her birthday

in a couple of weeks.

I mean, we could may be

organise something

A dinner

I don't know, a barbecue.

So, he's not alone, you know.

That'd be nice.

Is there anything else?

No.

No, I'm fine. I just

This woman has just being chased

around like a dog

and ex*cuted in front a little kid.

It's just a bit

Why don't I, um,

clean up the kitchen,

put Alice to bed, then we can

OK.

(EXHALES)

Hey.

Hey, Dylan.

One of my UCs failed to make

his weekly catch up yesterday.

Old mate of yours, Keith Bird.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, yeah,

he's always had a bit of a soft spot

for you, hasn't he?

Finds the time.

Uh, w-well, we went through

the academy together.

So

Yeah, yeah.

Have you heard from him recently?

Um, no.

Last I heard

he was deep in with the bikies.

He's working for you, isn't he?

Yes! Yes.

And being seen in the company

of a detective

could be very compromising

for him for my case,

for my entire game unit.

But I'm sure he's OK.

I mean, it's Keith.

It's Keith.

Well, if you hear from him

I'll be sure to warn him, Dylan.

OK.

We went out to the tennis court.

Oh, yeah?

Club CCTV picked up Mike

and Dallas for about 12:15.

OK, so, his alibi stands.

Yes and no.

They were only there

for about 20 minutes.

She hit three aces.

Nearly took his head off

with the last one.

Left the court

after barely warming up.

Opens up a substantial gap

in his timeline.

Let's bring her in.

Where are we at?

Kirsten,

uh, I would like to offer a reward.

See if I can flush out

any more leads.

We can ask the commissioner.

I have several lines of enquiry.

First, the husband as the sh**ter,

which would explain

the g*nman's inaccuracy.

But where would a guy

like him get a g*n?

He still needs someone with contacts

to sell him one,

and hence my need for a reward.

OK. I'll ask the commissioner.

What else have you got?

OK.

The second line of enquiry is that

her husband, Mike, hired a hit man.

Now, we've uncovered

a stash of Bitcoin,

which would allow him to do that.

Again, if we could access

the criminal world

with a bit of cash.

I take your point

about the reward home.

And, thirdly,

his ex-wife and her husband

Mmm.

There's some issues with custody.

And they do have contacts

with the criminal world.

How's that?

He's a criminal barrister.

He just got the Longwarry

sh**ter off.

OK, so, what if we get

the gangs unit in?

Dylan and his boys could help

with the criminal barrister

side of things.

I don't think

that would be necessary.

I mean, thank you.

But, just

Just let me

and my team run with this for now.

OK. Oh.

Uh, you've got a live cross

with the Channel Nine news tonight.

Oh, no, you can't do that.

No, I did my bit I made

the formal statement.

It's your turn.

Think of it as an opportunity, Holl.

OK. Thank you.

Tell us about your relationship

with Mike Simpson.

We work together,

play tennis occasionally.

How long did you play

the last time you two got together?

Uh, we left work about 12:00.

Got back maybe

We just need to know how long

you were on the actual court.

It was hot. So, we took a break.

After 20 minutes?

See, in the original statement,

you said that you didn't get back

to the office until 2:30, 3:00.

Help us understand

where that time went.

We did some other exercises.

Do you mean sex?

Don't shame me

because I'm sex positive.

You supplied a m*rder suspect

with a false alibi.

That's conspiracy, Dallas.

That's comes with a jail term.

We had a hit.

And then Mike and I

had sex in my car.

Did he mention Sonia at all?

Did he tell you

what was going on with her?

Yeah.

He sent me an email.

(DOOR KNOCKS)

He was pretty angry

that she was pregnant.

Bianca just called.

Detective.

Mm-hm.

(POLICE SIREN WAILS)

Connor!

He is not coming out to you, Mike.

Hey, come over here, Mike.

Have a chat with us.

You're in enough trouble, Mike.

Don't make it worse.

This is exactly

what you wanted, isn't it?

Yeah, well,

you will never see him again,

if you don't leave now.

Bianca, just stop.

I'm his dad. He's my son.

I just wanna see my boy!

Mike, let's have a talk.

Connor!

Let's have a talk outside.

Please, just stay away

from my family.

Connor!

Dad!

Hey, come here.

Connor! Connor!

Get away from my son!

Mike, don't!

Leave him!

Stop taser!

(GRUNTS IN PAIN)

Leave him alone!

Dad!

Get him out of here! Now! Go!

Just breathe, Mike.

Just breathe.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

Mike, this interview

is being recorded.

So, anything that you say

can be used as evidence in court.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

I'd like to ask you some questions

about the death of your wife.

Is that OK?

Yeah.

Mike, can you describe

your relationship with Dallas Lang?

She's a friend.

She, uh, we went

to that seminar together.

Dallas gave us

quite of different account.

She said that

you had sex in her car.

Would you agree with that statement?

OK. Yes.

You opened a national bank account

in June 2015.

What was that for?

Uh, it's (BREATHES HEAVILY)

When I was a kid, I-I used mow lawns

for this old lady down the street.

Her name was Mrs Cobb.

You can go check it out.

I got a call years later

that she passed.

And-and she had left me money

in her will.

It was $10,000 and I bought Bitcoin.

What did you do with them?

Nothing.

I forgot about 'em until the price

went through the roof.

And I-I remembered that they gave me

this long bloody password.

I'd lost it

and now I can't access them.

I don't know.

I re I reckon they'd would be

worth lot of money.

I-I don't know.

Ah.

$200,000.

I mean, that'll make a nice little

escape package for you and Dallas.

Mike, why didn't you mention

Sonia's pregnancy at all?

I I didn't I didn't know.

Can you read this aloud, Mike?

I believe it's an email

you sent to Dallas.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Read it.

I wouldn't k*ll her for this!

"Hi, Dallas.

Let's catch up for tennis

if you know what I mean."

Skip ahead, and it says,

"Sonia's got herself pregnant

after I told the stupid b*tch

it wasn't the right time."

So, you didn't want another child?

I'm struggling

to keep Connor as it is.

Detective, I get that I'm a suspect.

I'm her husband,

but please believe me.

I loved my wife.

Then why don't you stop

messing us around

and tell us where you were between 2

and 4pm on the day

that Sonia was m*rder*d?

I-I was at

I was at my ex's place.

I was at Bianca's.

Why were you at Bianca's?

Because she texted Sonia saying

she was coming early to pick him up.

Just like that, I wouldn't have got

to see my son after work.

And so

I went there

and I-I slashed her tyres,

just so she couldn't drive.

Is that possible?

There are texts

on Sonia's phone about pick up time.

And, his ex did turn up

at the scene in a taxi.

What about the timing?

Bianca's over

the other side of town.

It could explain the time

missing in his original statement.

Oh, it's just a pity.

You know, and it will impact

his custody of Connor's.

The whole It's pathetic.

So, why admit if it's not true?

Go and check his alibi.

Still doesn't rule out

that he could've paid

someone else to do the job for him.

f*ck. What an idiot!

Me, not him.

I mean, we both are idiots.

I should have waited

until I could link the g*n to him,

at least found out

where the money went first.

It's good

circumstantial evidence here, Holly.

You are right to question him.

Yeah, but he's gonna clam up now.

I've completely blown it.

What's going on here, Holly?

You said no to Dylan's help,

and I'm pretty sure

you're working with an undercover

when he should be involved

in another case.

And now what,

you're kicking yourself?

Because got a pregnant victim,

a child involved.

What is it?

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Mmm?

Pull yourself together.

You got a live cross in ten.

Oh, no. Come on, Kirsten.

It's part of the job, Holl.

Maybe it will shake something loose.

Holly.

Hi Narina.

Ready to go?

Ready?

Yeah.

Three, two.

I'm here at police headquarters

with detective Holly O'Rourke,

who is overseeing the investigation.

Detective, there's been

an out pouring of grief

and anger in response

to this sh**ting.

Can you tell us

what the investigation

looks like so far?

Uh, firstly, I'd like to say that,

I share everyone's pain

and frustration at this unacceptable

act of violence.

Some people have said today

that this is an attack on all of us.

I understand their concern,

but let's not forget

Sonia Matthew in this.

There's been reports

the husband has been interviewed.

Is he a suspect?

I can't comment on that.

But, no, uh, charges have been laid.

No.

And do we know why she was targeted?

Did she have links

to criminal activity?

Uh, not that we are aware of. No.

Did she have links to underground

crime or gangland associations?

Or was she known

to police prior to her death?

Well, her m*rder.

And no, uh, not at all.

Sonia Matthews was a

She's a loving step mother.

She was pregnant

with her first child.

She was pregnant.

That is heartbreaking, Detective.

Yes, it is.

Are you confirming

that police have made no progress

in identifying the k*ller

of this pregnant woman?

The more information

we have from the public

(WHISPERS) She shouldn't have

shared that information the baby.

She sounds desperate.

Well, she had to do something.

Holly is making a mess of this.

No, but, she

Thank you for your time, Detective.

We'll cross now back to the studio.

And we're done.

Thanks.

Hi.

Sonia's mother

just called from the UK.

The pregnancy news has gone viral.

She wants to know why we didn't

tell her Sonia was pregnant.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

What did you say?

Well, she hung up

before I could explain.

She's really upset.

Yeah, I shouldn't have

let her find out like that.

I will call her.

Um, Mike's alibi?

It stands up.

There's CCTV

of him near Bianca's house

at the time of the m*rder.

So

OK. So, he's not the sh**ter.

Alright.

Let's put aside why Sonia

was k*lled and look at how.

Look, I-I have an undercover

who's doing some work on the g*n.

So, I'll follow up with him.

OK.

And let's just widen our focus

to anyone who's dealing

in ill*gal weapons.

I can check with Dylan

for hit man new to the job

or a bit slapdash.

Yeah, good.

Sonia might not have

had criminal links,

but whoever ex*cuted her might have.

Maybe narrative's right.

Maybe there is a gangland link.

Gangland, under world,

organised crime,

whatever they wanna call it,

but there's a lot of pressure

from the press now

and public outrage.

They will be shutting themselves.

So, they're gonna try

and distance themselves from this.

We have to make sure we get

to them before they evaporate.

Thanks.

OK.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

Hello!

Hey.

Interesting TV interview.

Yeah.

I don't re ally wanna talk about

that work right now, Dad.

Yeah, that's what usually happens

when you don't have the evidence.

f*ck! Why do you always do that?

Do what?

You treat me like

I don't know how to do my job.

No, I don't. I'm proud of you.

OK, so, you don't even know

you're doing it,

which is obviously worse.

I know what it's like to feel

you've failed a m*rder victim.

And that's not a nice space to be.

(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)

Dad?

I'm sorry.

Daddy, you're You OK?
