02x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

[Relaxed music]

[Jack] So what's he like,
your, uh, Dr. Chris?

[Joan] Oh, he's lovely!

And he's a perfect gentleman.

What is Jack to you?

He's a special friend.

[Laughs] You sure?

I don't think he knows that.

So what happened
between you and Joan?

She ruined my happiness.

Joanie!

Max.

I was devastated when Ian died.

I needed my sister.

Yes. You seem devastated.

Flirting with your hot doctor

and gallivanting about
the country

with that outback silver fox!

[Joan] I gotta find Max.
I need to talk to her.

Oh, Max left.
On to new adventures.

Anna, if Sophie can help
identify the sh**ter

and this is all over,

Sophie can come home.

I heard you had a lead
on Sophie Bairnsdale.

It's not
an official investigation.

It wasn't until
you brought Liz into it.

[Jack] What was Bill Carlton
doing out here?

[Liz] There's no evidence
the car used its brakes at all.

[Joan] So you mean
he was run down deliberately?

And just when you wanted
to talk to him.

Hard to see that
as a coincidence.

What's that supposed to mean?

Somebody wanted him dead.

What can you tell us
about that, Jack?

- [Jack] Pause it there.
- [Keyboard key clicks]

- [Key clicks]
- Sophie's alive.

[Joan] And she was there
the night Bill got hit.

[Haunting vocal music]

[Birds screech]

[Jack] Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

If you hear from them,
please let me know.

Thanks.

So, how is Anna?

- In shock.
- [Water splashes]

And says she hadn't heard
from Kayla or Sophie.

And you believe her?

Well, given what
they've witnessed,

I'm not surprised
they're laying low.

[Phone rings]

[Joan] Oh!

Excusez-moi.

It's Max.

Hello, Max.

[Max on phone]
Oh, Joanie. I need you.

- What is it?
- Well...

Well, what's the matter?

Well, it's better
if I explain in person.

Where are you?

Um, I'm in a town
called Maryville.

How quickly can you get here?

Where's Maryville?

Oh, I need to go.

I'll ping you my location.
[Hangs up]

No, no, Max! Ohh!

Max is in trouble.

Maryville is at least
a four-hour drive from here.

- I should go.
- [Diesel barks]

[Jack] What, to help the sister
that ran out on you?

[Joan] Well,
she's still my sister.

Yeah, but what if
it's a lot of hot air?

- And what if it isn't?
- [Diesel grumbles]

All right.

- Let's saddle up.
- [Water splashes]

[Theme music]

[Woman sings operatically]

[Woman vocalizes]

[Easygoing music]

[Joan] Are we almost there?

[Jack] About half an hour.

[Joan] Let me see now... Uh-huh!

"Maryville - population 780.

"Famous for its mineral springs
and historic cinema."

[Jack] What would bring her
to Maryville?

[Joan] Haven't the foggiest.

[Old-time piano music plays]

[Old-time piano music continues]

[Phone line rings]

[Max on voicemail]
Hi. You're reached Max.

- Leave a message, darling.
- [Church bell tolls]

[Joan] She's still not
answering her phone.

[Joan] There she is!

[Old-time piano music ends]

Max!

Oh, you came!

Well, of course I did.

What's the matter?

Nearly finished.

[Max pants]

I want to take magic mushrooms

and I want you to spot me.

That's it?

That... that's the emergency?

[Max] Namaste.

Yes, well, I didn't
want to text you

and I wasn't going to say
anything on the phone

because you never know...
[Drinks water]

...who's listening
in the cloud or whatever.

The last time we saw each other,
you called me the 'good girl'.

Oh! Hypocritical good girl.

I didn't want you to supervise.

I don't want you to partake.

Oh, you're not still angry,
are you?

You sounded so distressed.

Well, my phone was running low.

[Joan sighs exasperatedly]

So what was so important
about getting us here?

I mean, what are you
even doing in this town?

I live here now

and mushrooms are part
of my own personal proaulia.

Your... your personal what?

It's an ancient Greek thing

where a... a woman spends
her final single days

with female relatives
preparing for her wedding.

You're getting married?

Oh! Did I not mention that bit?

Ha!

[Joan] Hmm.

Who's the lucky bloke?

Joan!

- [Light jazz plays softly]
- [Dermot] Oh!

Delighted to meet you at last.

- [Joan chuckles]
- [Laughs] I'm Dermot.

I hear you have a daughter,
Rebecca, and two grandchildren.

Yes. Um, do you have children?

Uh, well, no. That's why I'm
so community-minded, I guess.

And you must be Jack,
father of Liz.

Good with names, mate.

Oh, yeah, it's... it's
an old salesman trick.

Oh, Tiffany, Clyde!

Oh, hey, here we are.
Look,

- Tiff, that's for you.
- Oh, thank you.

Go right on through.

Clyde, good to see you, mate.

Looking good.

So what brought you
to Maryville?

Oh, Joanie, you've got
the rest of our lives

to learn more about Dermot.

Well, how did you meet,
at least?

Well, friends recommended me
to the mineral spa

and I met Dermot

and he invited me to
one of his sundowner drinks.

You're just in time for one now.

The whole town gathers around.
It's quite magical.

It's like the forest in
'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

Ooh! Come inside the cinema.

There's plenty
of food and karaoke.

Mushrooms on the menu?

- [Chatter and laughter]
- [Jazz music continues]

This is Shane, cinema manager
and resident film snob.

- [Laughs] Hi.
- And his projectionist, Keegan.

[Keegan chuckles]

So this joint just shows
old movies, right?

Oh, no, classic films, you know.

And they're... they're films.
They're not digital.

And you own this place?

- Oh, well...
- [Shane] It's owned by the town.

It's in trust.

I'm just on the refurbishment
committee. [Chuckles]

Max, so you did persuade
your sister and her friend

to come play with us.

Trudy's on the committee too.

It's an Art Deco gem.

Why change it?

Well, we want to
unleash its potential.

Add a bar, a restaurant.

Really put Maryville on the map.

[Amplified] It's on the map.

Yes, I just want to put it
in larger font. [Laughs]

Excuse me.

[Shane taps microphone]
Testing. Testing.

One, two. Two. Two.

Check one, two. Check, check.

Isn't he just the mostest?

[Sighs]

I wouldn't know.
I've only just met him.

- So's your sister, apparently.
- [Dermot laughs]

[Shane] Okay, it's karaoke time.

- [Gentle guitar intro]
- [Keegan] Hey, how's it going?

- [Singer] ♪ Falling off...
- Cheers, mate.

- ♪ Like clothing...
- [Applause and cheering]

You look like
more of a beer man.

Ta. This seems like
a very friendly town.

[Trudy] Mmm.

Do you know what
we're famous for?

I've done my research.

And what do you think?

I'm happy to give
anything a go once.

Hmm.

So, you and Joan are open?

I guess so.

Glad to hear it.

I'll be back.

[Singer] ♪ Not hidden hard...

[Jack] Don't look now,

but that couple came in together
holding hands,

then they swap par...

Joan! And then they swap
partners and left holding hands.

Now they're back together again
holding hands.

And so?

What's it mean when someone
says, "Are you open?"

Swingers?

Such an old-fashioned term.

All right,
then ethical non-monogamous.

[Laughs] Oh, yes.
I suppose it's common.

It's got something to do
with the springs.

The springs you came here
to explore?

Well, each to their own,
but I'm not into polyamory.

I've become a penguin.

From now on, I mate for life.

And what sort of animal
is Dermot?

Ohh, whatever he was
before I came along,

he's a penguin now too.

Or I'll feed him
to the k*ller whales.

[Sings] ♪ Eagle Rock.

- Whoo!
- [Applause and cheering]

My brother, my brother,
my brother. So good! So good!

Everybody loves Dermot.

I'm sure they do.

Seriously, Max,
what do you know about him?

Or about this town?

Or about how you're going
to react to mushrooms?

Well, I know
they're all fun things.

Maybe you should try some.

[Shane] Oh! All right, so who's
our next chanteur ce soir?

Come on. Don't all rush at once.

[Man laughs]

- Joanie!
- Oh!

Oh, no, no. No. Joanie
doesn't sing in public.

Not since she m*rder*d 'Silent
Night' in the school carols!

[Shane] Ohhhhh!
Did you hear that?

Shane, I'll do it.

- Oh! Big hand for Joanie!
- [Applause and cheering]

Joanie! Here we go.

Now, what would
you like to sing?

- Oh, I don't know.
- Something classic.

- You think of it.
- Oh, classic. Yes.

- Here we go.
- Thank you.

Thank you, Joanie!

- [Applause and cheering]
- Big hand!

[Joan chuckles]

[Country intro to 'Crazy' plays]

Oh, yes! [Chuckles]

[Sings] ♪ Crazy

♪ I'm crazy for feeling so...

[Lorene] Dermot?
Dermot, come here.

♪ ..lonely...

Dermot, you can't keep avoiding
me. I have left messages.

♪ I'm crazy...

[Lorene continues
speaking angrily]

♪ Crazy for feeling...

[Trudy] Now, hey.

♪ Crazy

♪ For thinking that my love

- Ohhh!
- [Joan] Dermot?

-[Record scratches
-[People gasp and murmur]

[Max] Are you having pain
in your... [Distorted] ..chest?

- [High-pitched ringing]
- Oh, it's not too bad.

Max, make sure everyone's
having a good time.

[Muffled] I'm not
gonna leave you!

[Muffled] What about
your shoulder?

That seems fine. My vision's
a little blurry, though.

- [Joan] Do you see any colors?
- Uh...

- [High-pitched ringing]
- Uh...

Green and blue, maybe.

- [Heartbeat thuds]
- [Pants]

[Groans]

- What's that?
- [Joan] It's a defibrillator.

I keep one in the first aid kit.
[Unzips bag]

No, no, no.
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

You may have had a heart attack.

You shouldn't move
until I'm sure you're all right.

- Okay.
- Listen to Joanie.

- Okay.
- Please listen to her.

Oh. [Breathes deeply]

[Joan] Blurred vision,
light sensitivity,

difficulty telling colors apart.

[Rebecca on video call] It
definitely could be bad Viagra.

I know it could be,

but I thought I'd ask
a proper doctor's opinion.

It's rare unless he's taken
a lot or it's a dodgy knockoff.

Hmm. That's interesting.

Mum, I can't believe Auntie Max
is getting married.

I mean, how long has she known
this Dermot? A week?

Oh, no.
That would be rushing things.

- [Rebecca chuckles]
- At least two. [Chuckles]

[Chuckles] What's he like?

I don't know.

I mean, I suppose not bad

if you like handsome
and schmarmy.

[Laughs] And now she's settling
down in a town full of swingers.

[Chuckles]

But all I'll say is

be careful of any houses
with a flamingo on the lawn.

Why? Do flamingos mean...?

Yes! Swingers.

You're kidding.

You know, unless you and Jack

are feeling adventurous,
of course.

Rebecca! I'm not that bonkers.

- [Intriguing music]
- [Kookaburras laugh]

[Joan] One visit to a vineyard

and all of a sudden
you're a sommelier.

I did read that drinking
bad wine can make you crook.

Yes. Spoilage can
cause nasty microbes.

- [Plastic crackles]
- Oh!

[Intriguing music]

But I have another theory.

Perhaps my future brother-in-law
was poisoned by this.

Viagra?

How did you know?

Makes you hard of hearing.

- [Lorene] Dermot!
- [Glass clinks on table]

You might be right.

[Birds screech and tweet]

[Dermot] Poison? Are you sure?

[Jack] No. Which is why
we've come to you.

Oh.

[Joan] Perhaps
it would be best if we...

...talked in private?

No.

Whatever you need to ask Dermot,

you can do so in front of me.

All right, then.

Do you take Viagra?

[Chuckles]

We have no secrets.

Uh... I take one occasionally.

- And where do you get it from?
- The pharmacy. Why?

We found this on the floor
of the cinema.

Someone must have dropped it.

[Joan] Real Viagra
is smooth at the edges

and consistent in color.

This one's flecked
and diamond-shaped.

That's not mine.

Might have been slipped
into your drink.

But why?

To induce a heart attack.

[Scoffs]
Well, Viagra can't k*ll, can it?

It's rare if it's been medically
prescribed, but this isn't.

Well, then you need to
find out who did it.

Have you had
a business dispute recently?

Uh, no.

Maybe an ex?

Well, Trudy and I saw
each other occasionally,

but we don't do jealousy
here in Maryville.

And when did that
relationship end?

Well, when I met Max. [Chuckles]

You seriously think

I tried to drug Dermot
with the Pfizer riser?

- Somebody did.
- Not me.

Didn't Dermot break up with you
when he met Max?

Well, there was
nothing to break.

Things evolved.

Some people might find
that, uh, frustrating.

It could have been
handled better,

but my dance card's full.

Hmm.

Young, enthusiastic,

uncomplicated,

and no pills required.

[Chuckles]

Sorry I couldn't be
of more help.

Thanks.

Doesn't that Keegan work
for Shane at the cinema?

- The film fella?
- Yeah.

Do you remember how he reacted

when Dermot was saying he wanted
to put Maryville on the map?

- Yeah.
- Mm.

[Carpet sweeper rattles]

Oh, everybody loves Dermot.
[Chuckles]

He does host the best parties.

[Joan] What about his plans for
the refurbishment of the cinema?

He wants to put more screens in.

Oh, what a shame.

- That's a good thing, isn't it?
- Nah.

He won't even be using
the original projector.

Oh, no. Digital.

Must be so hard for you,

watching this place
get ripped apart

to basically show DVDs
on smaller screens.

I'm glad that you agree with me.

- It's just ridiculous.
- It's ridiculous.

I would be livid.

[Stops sweeping]

Hey, just hang on a minute.

I mean, Dermot might be
a philistine,

but I did not poison him.

I've seen so many movies.
I know what the end is.

- [Continues sweeping]
- Who might have done it?

Um, well, could be Lorene.

The mineral spa owner?

[Shane] Yeah, uh...

Yeah, well, she was in
a business relationship

with Dermot until he left her.

[Continues sweeping]

[Jack] Might visit
Dermot in the morning.

See what he's got
to say about it.

[Intriguing music]

[Cattle low]

[Birdsong]

[Pants]

Sorry I stuffed up
your delivery.

Oh. No, nonsense, Keegan.

There's no such thing
as mistakes,

only learning opportunities.

All good.

- All right. See ya.
- See ya.

[Electric scooter whirs]

- [Tailgate beeps]
- [Dermot] Hey.

- Hey, up and about.
- Yeah, a bit shaky.

But who wants to be inside
in a day like today?

You're at a loose end
with the ladies at the spa.

- I am.
- [Laughs]

I got something I wanna show
you. It's only a short drive.

Come on. We can take my car.

[Wondrous music]

Ooh! '70s?

[Dermot] '67 Merc.

There's only about a hundred
of them left on the roads.

They're rarer than pandas.

Very nice.

- [Keys clink]
- [Dermot] You, uh...

...want to take it for a spin?

[Engine roars]

[Exciting rock music]

You're very generous
with your... stuff.

[Laughs]
Well, life should be a party.

And parties need hosts.

I'm a host to life! [Laughs]

Why don't you give it
a bit more throttle?

- You sure?
- Yeah. You only live once.

[Engine roars]

Ohh, I do like that sound.

[Dermot chuckles]

[Rock music fades]

[Diesel pants]

- Oh! Diesel!
- [Diesel barks]

Ha ha! Oh, you grew up.

[Diesel barks]

Ah, I've known that dog
since he was a pup.

Ohh. Okay, here. Good boy.

Ah. Sorry.
Jack's not here at the moment.

Oh, that's okay.
I can talk to you.

- What about?
- Well... [Sighs]

...I just need to lock down
Jack's whereabouts

over the past couple of weeks.

You can't be thinking
Jack was responsible

for what happened to Bill.

I have to rule him out
officially.

Jack and Bill were colleagues.
They didn't get on.

Jack was in the area.

Sure.

Well, we were at a winery and...

Oh, before that, we were
at this resort on an island.

- Mm-hm.
- And... Oh, hang on.

Before that, we were horse
riding. That's when we met Anna.

- Oh, excuse me.
- Ha!

Well, you two packed in
more in the last few months

than we did in
our entire marriage.

Oh. Well, he's retired now.

[Chuckles] And what about you?

Me? Oh.

It takes a lot of guts
to come across

to the other side of the world
on your own

under the circumstances.

Well, I could say it takes
a lot of guts to do what you do.

Thanks.

You know...

...I think Jack's alibi
is pretty solid.

- [Chuckles]
- [Car horn honks]

Oh!

Uh, got to join up
with my sister.

Of course. There's just one
more thing I do need to say.

If Jack keeps looking
for Sophie,

you could be in danger from
whoever did k*ll Bill Carlton.

Both of you.

Oh, they could be
in danger from us.

I'm going to let him know
I'm in town.

Okay. See ya!

[Easygoing music]

- [Intriguing music]
- [Insects buzz]

[Dermot] Ahh. This is it, Jack.

Liquid gold.

The mineral springs
of Maryville.

Fancy some?

I'm gonna launch it this summer.

Is it safe to drink?

Yeah, yeah.
It's full of magnesium.

It's really great
for your skin, your heart,

your kidneys, sex drive.

[Jack chuckles]

No shame in, uh, accepting

that you might need
a little help.

I'll take fun over dignity
any day of the week.

[Jack chuckles]

Tastes like water.

[Laughs] Yeah, try it
every day and see.

You're pretty chipper
for a bloke

who, um, might have
been poisoned.

Ahh.

Well, in life, I suppose,

I'm a little closer to the
finish line than I am the start.

That makes some men angry,
but I don't want to do that.

I want to live every day
like it's my last.

Where does Max fit
into all this?

Well, life's a lot
more entertaining

when you've got someone
driving alongside you.

As you know, the women in that
family are excellent co-pilots.

- [Chuckles]
- [Phone rings and vibrates]

Oops.

My ex-wife's just arrived
in town to investigate me.

Well, we'd best
not keep her waiting.

No.

[Joan] Oh, crikey almighty.

- Oh, I've forgotten to ask.
- [Serene music]

How is the good doctor?

Oh, we haven't spoken
for a while.

Why not? No desire?
Low estrogen?

Jack Darby?

No, it's just... I don't know.

Ever since Ian, I haven't
felt very sure of myself.

Oh, don't say that.

You're gorgeous. Use it.

That's exactly
what Rebecca keeps telling me.

[Max] Smart girl.

In my experience,
sex gets better as you get old

because you've learned
a few things.

Huzzah!

Oh, let the proauliabegin!

[Joan] It's a gorgeous spa.

Thank you.

The water comes straight
from our springs.

The ecosystem is fragile,
though,

and it can't be tampered with.

You will need to shower
before entering.

Oh! Bags first.

Now, Joanie,
you can share my wine,

- but do not touch the chocolate.
- Ooh! Chocolate!

I remember Brighton Beach, 1979,

- my Curly Wurly bar.
- Oh, come on!

I'd been looking forward
to eating it all week,

and you gobbled it up
in one... gob.

- [Joan laughs]
- No touchy!

Sisters. [Chuckles]

Hmm. I hear that you started
this place with Dermot.

Yes. Then he moved on.

Hmm. My sister hasn't known him
for very long.

Is there anything
we should be worried about?

Um... make sure
she protects her money.

Go on.

[Inhales deeply]

Look, this place
was Dermot's idea.

- [Joan] Mmm.
- He saw the potential.

But I put in all the cash,
and I've done all the work,

and eventually
I had to buy him out

by giving him the front paddock.

No!

He's done nothing with it since.

I think he's been
trying to sell it.

Is that what the two of you
were discussing

that night at the cinema?

[Lorene] Mmm.

Until Trudy accused me
of hassling him

into having a heart attack,

I've left him alone since.

Have you got any idea
what caused him to collapse?

Probably Trudy giving him grief.

About what?

She's in love with him.

I thought she was supposed to be
ethically non-monogamous.

Yes.

Until Dermot came along

and then Trudy got
stars in her eyes.

He told her
he didn't want to commit,

but when he met Max,
he proposed.

I'm sure he'll make Max happy.

Just make sure
she gets a good prenup.

Mmm.

[Uneasy music]

[Gentle music]

Bickie?

Uh... no, thanks.

Suit yourself.

Joan's really got you out of
your comfort zone, hasn't she?

Are you really just friends?

[Sighs] I thought you came here
to interrogate me

about Bill Carlton.

I did. Okay.

Well, you know the drill.

I need to hear about all your
dealings with Bill and Sophie,

including the night
that Richie was shot.

- Yep, it's all in the report.
- I know it's in the report.

I need to hear it again
in light of what's happened.

Look, we know
Bill was a prick, okay?

I have to find out
how Bill became a dead prick.

It might help.

Pia was next to me
when Richie arrived.

And that's when
the sh**ting started?

- Yep.
- Mm-hm.

And you didn't see anyone else?

I felt someone's presence.

But later on,
I assumed I'd imagined it.

But now I'm not so sure.

I thought it might
have been Bill.

And he didn't deny that?

No, but the way he reacted
got me thinking,

if he's guilty, why did he leave
me alive and risk a witness?

He didn't see anything.

No, but he didn't know that.

Why didn't he just
finish me off?

That's what the Bill Carton
I knew would have done.

Do you think there really might
have been someone else there?

Someone less ruthless than Bill?

Yeah, but still ruthless enough
to run him down 18 years later.

[Mysterious music]

Ohh!

So... Trudy did it?

- Well, not necessarily.
- No.

You must interrogate her again

and really turn the screws
this time.

Why do you think Dermot
didn't tell you about Trudy?

[Gasps] Oh.

- Ohh!
- Max!

- I don't feel well.
- What is it?

- [Joan] Max, wait!
- [Max] Oh!

- [Joan] What's wrong?
- Oh, my God.

I feel like
I'm going to be sick.

- Where's the loo?
- [Joan] Max, wait!

Careful. Careful. It's slippery.

[Gate clangs]

[Birdsong]

You all right?

[Max groans]

- Was it something you ate?
- No.

It's not food poisoning.

The chocolate had
the mushroom stuff in it.

- What, psilocybin?
- Mm-hm.

But I had a whole chunk of it.

What?!

After I told you not to?

Well, you'd been
so patronizing to me.

Oh, God!

You're meant
to be supervising me!

Is this what you did to Dermot?

Did you slip him something

just because he was having
a chat with Trudy?

How can you say that?

Well, you said you'd feed him
to the k*ller whales

if he was a naughty penguin.

I would never do that.

[Sighs]

Well, what's going
to happen to me now?

Oh, strap in.

You're going on a trip.

Ohh.

[Gulps]

[Miranda] Thanks for being
so honest.

You know, we've never
actually had a conversation

like that before.

You've never investigated me
for corruption before.

- [Engine idles]
- You know what I mean.

Then that was before Joan,
wasn't it?

How's the search
for Sophie going?

Oh, well,

we found her daughter,
but she's not talking,

so we're back looking
for needles in haystacks.

[Line rings]

[Kayla on phone] Hello?

Kayla, Jack Darby.

- [Kayla sighs]
- I know Sophie's alive.

- Please do not hang up on me.
- [Line disconnects]

[Sighs]

[Line rings]

[Kayla on voicemail]
Hey, it's Kayla.

- You know what to do.
- [Beep!]

I'm not with the police.

All I'm trying to do
is help your mum

not be on the run forever.

Tell her she can trust me.

I'll text you my location.

[Haunting vocal music]

[Water splashes]

[Voice echoes and distorts]
Chris?

[Voice echoes and distorts]
Oh, hi, Joan.

[Joan] What are you doing
in the pool?

Why haven't you called me?

[Joan] I'm not sure.

Why, Joan?

What's your emotional
stumbling block?

Is it Jack? [Echoes]

[Echoes] I represent the road
less traveled, don't I, Joan?

Yeah, but if it's dinner
by candlelight you're after,

I'm your man.

She'll get bored with that
pretty quick.

I doubt it. I'm a doctor.

I have an excellent
bedside manner.

[Joan] Who said anything about
going to bed?

If anyone's gonna jump
in the sack, it's me.

I think we should let the lady
decide, don't you?

You tell him, Joan.

You tell him that you're not
gonna hook up with him.

I think you know
who's best, Joan.

[Man] Hello?

[Mystical music]

Sorry to bother you, but there's
no one on the front desk.

Do you see two men in the pool?

I, uh, might come back
a bit later.

[Sighs]

[Sighs deeply]

[Chris] I can't wait forever,
Joan.

[Jack] You don't want to
jump ship mid-course.

I get you, Joan.

Which one of us will you choose?

Joan.

Joan...

- Joan.
- Joan.

- [Joan moans]

Oh.

[Groans]

I'm just checking on you.

Had to come get you
from the spa.

What are you doing
in the water, Jack?

It's a mystery.

[Sighs] Is Chris still here?

No.

♪ A memory...

Ahhh.

What's that lovely music?

- I love that song!
- Yep.

- That's why I put it on.
- [Song volume increases]

- Did you?
- Yep.

Oh, Jack.

Ohhh. Oh.

- You really get me, don't you?
- Yeah, yeah.

I get you. I get you.
Now, you go to sleep.

I'm here, right?

- Yeah.
- Now, off to sleep.

Nighty-night.

You'll be right. Okay.

Hello, stranger.

[Liz] Immigration said
Bill obtained

passports for Sophie and Kayla
shortly before he died.

- Does any of that ring a bell?
- No.

Well, let me know
if it triggers anything.

Your mother tells me
that I'm a suspect.

Well, it's not a green light

for you to go
and solve things yourself.

Who, me? No, I'm just a gray
nomad enjoying his retirement.

You also have Joan,
and that makes you vulnerable.

No. Makes me tougher.

Hello.

Morning.

Did I say anything
to you last night?

Only that I'm a great bloke

who really understands you.

[Joan sighs]

[Sighs]

Mmm. Mmm.

Max just texted.

Dermot wants to see us.

All right.

Joanie, go on.

Have one.

It's not laced
with anything, is it?

[Max laughs] No.

[Dermot] Now,
Max told me about Trudy.

Uh, thank you for all that
you've done, all your hard work,

but I'd like you to forget it.

I don't want you to continue.

But what if she poisoned you?

That's what
I've been telling him.

Well, if I broke her heart,
then I deserved it.

Uh, if it was Shane,
I treated him badly too.

And I'm ashamed
of what I did to Lorene.

[Exhales]

None of it justifies
attempted m*rder.

Look, I'm having another
sundowner drinks this afternoon.

I would just like to focus
on that and move on.

Okay?

[Joan gulps]

I reckon
he's protecting someone.

But who?

We've run out of suspects.

Well, maybe we've been going
about this the wrong way,

following the suspects instead
of following the evidence.

Yeah. We need to trace
the Viagra.

So who's the supplier?

Do you fancy a bit of role-play?

[Mischievous music]

[Jack] What if they,
uh, you know,

want me to undress or something?

[Joan] Rather you than me.

[Mischievous music]

Hello. I'm Joan, and this is
my special friend, Jack.

We were just passing

and I couldn't help
but admire your, um, flamingos.

Oh. Welcome.

I'm Daphne.

Good timing. Come in.

Roger's in the spa.

[Mischievous music]

[Spa bubbles]

- Roger.
- [Jack] Holy Toledo.

[Daphne] New friends.

[Roger] Ohh!

[Water splashes]

Mi casa es su casa!

Oh! Hello!

Come on in. The water's fine.

Uh... look, I've just
got to, uh, tie up the dog

and I'll be right back.

Don't take too long.

- Popcorn.
- [Daphne] Mmm.

- [Roger] Help yourself.
- Thanks.

- Ready when you are, Jack.
- Uh...

I'll, um...
I'll just freshen up.

Uh, where's the loo?

Oh. First door on the right.

Ahhh.

[Knock at door]

[Daphne] Jack, anything
you need a hand with in there?

No, no, no. I'm all right. I'll
be back in a second. Thanks.

[Jack sighs] Yep.

[Sighs] Hmm.

[Jack and Joan cackle]

[Jack] Hey, Keegan.

Can I get you a drink, Jack?

Mate, you know,
we were wondering

if you might get me
some of those little blue pills.

What do you mean?

How much do you need?

However much you put in Dermot's
wine the night he collapsed.

- Hey?
- [Jack] Look, I get it.

You saw how upset Shane was

with Dermot's plans
to change the cinema

and how Dermot hurt Trudy.

[Joan] Dermot suspects
you did it.

I didn't spike any drinks.

What is it you aren't
telling us, Keegan?

[Suspenseful music]

[Birdsong]

[Uneasy music]

- [Jack] Is this the right place?
- Well, I'm sure it is.

It's... it's the paddock
in front of the spa.

What is that?

It's surveyor tape.

Oh, dear.

I have to tell Max.

[Uneasy music]

- Hey, you good?
- Yeah.

They're all right to use.

Oh, hello! [Laughs]

Oh, you're all a bit early.
[Laughs]

Yes, we wanted to have a little
chat before the drinks started.

[Dermot] Oh, what about?

Who poisoned Dermot.

Oh, look, I told you, I...

We spoke to Keegan,
your local Viagra dealer.

He said all three of you
were customers.

So? It never hurts
to be prepared.

A lot of customers hire the
pool. I like to help them out.

Swinger's insurance.

Yeah, I'm over 70, you know.

There's a big shortage of GPs
in the rural area.

Yeah, well, you all had motives.

You hated Dermot
because of the renovations

of the cinema
he wanted to do and

Lorene for business
and Trudy for love.

But only one of you knew

how badly Dermot reacted
to that Viagra.

Trudy.

You told Keegan that Dermot had
had an attack a few months ago,

didn't you?

Well... [Sighs]

...that's no secret.

We were having fun one night

and D took too many
and had a turn and collapsed.

Why didn't you mention this
to me before, Dermot?

I just... You know, I was
just trying to protect Trudy.

Yeah, I-I didn't poison you, D.

You must believe me.

[Jack] Oh, he believes you

because he poisoned himself.

Excuse me?

Keegan saw you spike your drink.

He stayed silent because
he didn't want to go to prison

for dealing illegally
with Viagra.

Why would Dermot give himself
a heart attack?

[Joan] We asked ourselves
the very same question.

After all, what could
there possibly be to gain?

Clearly, Dermot wanted to avoid
questions from you, Lorene.

Dermot, you can't do this.

Questions about the paddock?

...buy him out by giving him
the front paddock.

Why would that matter?

We wondered about that too

and so we went
to take a look at it.

And we discovered that
Dermot has hired a company

to dig it up
to access the mineral water.

Your new bottled water business.

[Dermot] Fancy some?

I'm gonna launch it this summer.

Not only ruining my business,

but destroying the springs
for the entire town.

Well, that would
not be approved.

There'd be too many objections.

Well, whenever there was
community consultations,

Dermot would throw
a big sundowner party.

Great distraction.

[Joan] But Lorene
was already on to him.

This is ridiculous!

Why would Dermot go
to such efforts?

Because he was broke.

[Dramatic music]

I didn't want to
believe any of it,

but everything you have

is either borrowed
or rented or on loan.

That... that's how
wealthy people live.

Oh! Tell them
it's all lies, Dermot!

[Jack] Hey, where do you think
you're going, mate?

[Joan] Quick, after him!

[Dermot mutters nervously]

- [Jack] Hey!
- [Dermot] Ooh.

[Joan] Oops!

- [Max] Dermot!
- Oooh! Ohh!

[Max] Dermot!

[Dermot groans]

[Chokes]

That man is a terrible actor.

Oh! [Groans]

[Jack] He may not be faking.

No. I don't think
he is faking. Ohh!

[Max] God!

Dermot!

[Joan] Jack,
get the defibrillator.

[Max] You are not going to
get out of this by dying!

Do something, Joanie!
Do something!

- [Defibrillator drones]
- Stop it. Now stay back.

[Defibrillator drones]

[Pop!]

I think Dermot won't be
needing this where he's going.

- [Joan chuckles]
- [Jack] How is he?

Well, recovering,
by all accounts.

Has the nurses
eating out of his hands.

I'm sorry, Max.

No, don't be sorry.

You saved me
from a marital disaster.

- And I'm off to Fiji tonight.
- [Joan] Hmm?

A friend of mine is going
to put me up in a resort.

- Ohh.
- Well, I figure the most effective way

to get over a broken heart
is to put an ocean between you.

That and mai tais.

For what it's worth,
I think Dermot really liked you.

In his way.

Oh, it's for the best.

And my friend's
just become single too.

Ohhh!

[Laughs]

Thank you, Max.

What for?

Just for being you.

Joanie...

Joanie!

I heard you talking
to Jack and Chris at the pool.

[Joan] Yeah?

Work out what you're doing,
won't you?

[Joan] Yeah, I will.

[Joan chuckles]

[Max sighs]

- Good luck.
- Thank you, Darby.

[Joan] Mmm.

My sister.

[Gentle piano music]

[Jack and Joan laugh]

Z, Y, X and W, V.

Z, Y, X, N? No.

- W, V.
- No, Z, Y, X.

- U, T, S...
- W. [Laughs]

- And R, Q, P.
- V.

- [Diesel whines]
- O, N, M.

- Diesel can do it.
- There's no N

- Diesel can do it.
- between the R and the S.

Go on. Woof, woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof, woof.

- [Diesel barks]
- And Z... Oh!

[Intriguing music]

[Joan whispers]
Wait. Wait, Jack.

[Joan gasps softly]

- Careful.
- [Jack whispers] Quiet.

Sophie.

And why exactly
should I trust you?
