01x04 - Fall

[bunniefuu]

I said no public.

This is a cordoned-off area.

Some people say the bridge

is a link to the other side.

It awakens second sight.

It's just a bridge.

And the dead are the dead.

Oh, f*ck.

Jesus.

I'm pretty sure Dad's a hawk.

It was circling overhead

the whole time at the funeral.

I know this is crap timing,

but I've got someone that

wants to buy the farm.

Grub agreed to the sale.

I loved him.

Everyone loved Grub-

And he loved me.

f*ck' f*gg*t!

Hey! Whoa!

Real men don't f*ck other men!

Get out here, f*g!

I'm gonna give up the booze.

I like it. This is good.

Mm.

Do you wanna get some?

I'll do it, if you like.

Cheers.

My office. One hour.

Coffee?

Yeah.

Where've you been?

Out.

You've been in and out for two days.

Have we confirmed numbers

with the caterers?

Are we still going through with it?

Yeah.

For Grub. For Dad.

I'll give them a call this morning.

We've still got plenty of booze

left over from the wake.

Oh, let's just keep it small.

When do we wanna meet

with Charlotte?

We need to discuss the sale.

One way or another.

Tomorrow?

Mm-hm.

Hey.

Hey.

You?

Oh, ordered.

Thanks.

Uh, long black?

Sure.

That probably

shouldn't have happened.

No.

Here ya go.

Thanks.

Hey, you didn't tell-?

Uh, we shouldn't do this here.

Listen, if you change your mind,

you can still press charges.

Nah.

So what happened to Dermot?

He won't say.

Rob and Haggis taught him

a lesson, no doubt.

Jesus.

I should suspend you.

You don't go AWOL

in the middle of a case.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Won't happen again.

It won't.

Everybody gets one f*ck-up.

That was yours.

Dermot was the last one

to see Grub alive.

According to his statement,

they left the hut at 2am.

They drove back to the cottage,

where they went their separate ways.

Rob's still a possibility,

although he reckons he has an

alibi - slept with some young

tourist. Didn't get a name.

I tried to locate her,

but she may have left town.

Could've been a woman.

We've been through this.

They'd have to be pretty strong

to get him over the bridge.

There's someone here

to see you at reception.

Hey.

Hey.

Thought you might need these.

Oh, mate.

How'd you get this?

You called me.

To pick you up?

After you'd been in a bar fight?

Thanks, mate.

What you got there?

It's my kaitiaki.

He's making good progress.

Not that I'd expect

you to understand.

- Is Dermot around?

At least I know why I'm lost.

Do you?

I don't have a cell phone.

Grub made me keep one in the ute,

though, in case of emergencies.

You said that the sheep got out,

but those fences look like they're

in pretty good nick.

Yeah.

That was our code.

European girl, about 160cm,

uh, brownish hair?

Excuse me.

They all fit that description.

Hey.

Maybe she left town?

That's if she ever existed

in the first place.

Hey, I spoke with Dermot.

Pulled the location on the

phone that he keeps in his ute,

which confirms his statement.

His ute wasn't anywhere near the

bridge the night of Grub's death.

Doesn't mean he didn't

travel there some other way.

It's a bit far to walk.

I mean, if he wanted to k*ll Grub,

he could've just done it at the hut.

Spent enough time together.

Yeah.

I jumped cos he dared me to.

I didn't want to.

I do blame him.

Ariki.

Welcome home.

Hey.

Could Lois have been

involved somehow?

My Lois?

She has a motive - first love.

Grub's the reason

she's in a wheelchair.

Right.

So how did she get there?

Did Grub pick her up?

Did she wheel herself out there?

Maybe she caught a taxi?

How'd she get there?

How'd she lift Grub over the bridge?

She's pretty strong.

f*ck's sake.

DI David Preston will be here

in the morning. You can assist.

Yeah, hi, Fran.

Yeah, thanks for calling back.

Uh, look, I need to move

our meeting back tomorrow.

Mm. How's, um, early afternoon?

Actually, um, let's make it

day after tomorrow, eh?

Great. Yeah, I'll see you then.

OK, thanks. Bye.

Mm-mm.

I'm not finished.

I don't know what you think you saw,

but it doesn't mean anything.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I've left five messages for him,

but he's never replied to me.

I'll see ya soon.

Sir.

Big call, getting

the boss's wife in.

Very brave or very stupid.

We'll see which one.

Stephen and Ariki

went up the gondola.

Left me with the dishes.

I was in bed by about 11, but up

and down a bit. I don't sleep much.

Did you leave the house

during the evening?

No. I did not.

Let's get to the point, shall

we? Could I have done it? I mean,

isn't that what you want to know?

Could I physically

have committed the crime?

Cos I'm a cr*pple.

That's not a word I'd use.

Let's give it a go, shall we?

What, like a re-enactment?

Sure. Why not?

This is roughly the height

of One Lane Bridge.

Ariki, why don't you be Grub?

Wheelchair is on the bridge,

next to Andrew Ryder.

Can you push him, then?

Guess we'll find out.

Lois has been cleared

from the investigation.

You must be desperate,

to get your own wife.

My colleague pointed the finger.

I thought I'd do the right thing.

Good idea, after last time.

You need to get things moving. I

thought I could stay, help you out.

Nah, I'm all over it.

Great. OK, bye.

DI Preston has cleared Lois.

It's not feasible.

You were right. Someone would

have had to drive her there.

So, who haven't we considered?

Kate, Jackie.

What makes you think

it was a female?

Well, we haven't had much

luck with the men, have we?

Jackie wasn't in town

the night of the m*rder.

Jackie was in town that night.

She was speaking with the

family lawyer about trying to get

her shares out of the farm.

Right. And when did

she tell you this?

After the wake.

Oh, please tell me you

didn't sleep with her.

Please tell me you didn't sleep with

a suspect in the middle of a case.

You're suspended.

Pending investigation.

Don't forget Charlotte's coming.

Hello?

Hey, it's Ariki.

How did you get my number?

I'm a cop.

Look, Stephen's on his way

over now. He knows you were in

town the night that Grub died.

He also knows that you

and I slept together, so Just

thought I'd give you a heads-up.

I could lose my job.

I should have told you earlier.

I'm sorry. I just thought it would

raise more questions than answers.

I need you to come

down to the station.

{ I just told you

all about the night Grub died.

You can check with the hotel.

My lawyer will confirm our meeting.

About 4.30?

It's about another matter.

No luck with your alibi.

She must have left town.

It's your problem, not mine.

Dermot's not pressing charges.

Nothing else to talk about.

You weren't surprised

about me and Grub.

And you've known about us

from the start.

f*ck off.

What do they want our land for?

They like privacy.

Views.

Bullshit.

They're gonna come down here

and they're gonna r*pe our land.

Emma!

They will. Mine for gold,

turn it into a f*ck' dairy farm.

Look, I know that there are a lot

of issues to consider, but Jackie

felt it was worth a discussion.

Grub had me get a market valuation.

They'd be prepared to pay double.

Just let me know

what you decide, eh?

Wonder what her and Haggis

are getting out of this.

Certainly not doing it out of

the kindness of their hearts.

How about we sell?

No.

It will give us a lot of options.

We'll pay off our debt.

No.

I can't do this any more.

What about Poppa?

Our whole family is buried here.

Dad's buried here.

So who's gonna tell Jack?

This is Tilly Gardener. She'll be

taking some notes, if that's OK.

Are you OK if we record

this interview?

Yeah, sure.

Uh, now, I'm not sure

if you're aware,

but Detective Davis has been

suspended after a serious breach

of the Police Code of Conduct.

What kind of breach?

Sexual misconduct.

He informed me that the two

of you had sexual intercourse

the night of the wake.

What?!

Why would he say that?

So that's not what happened?

No.

Why don't you tell me

your version of events?

Um we bumped into each other

at a club after the wake.

Had a bit of a dance.

Um, later, he walked me to a taxi.

Uh

I asked him to come home with me,

didn't want to be alone. He said no.

Called him a w*nk*r, or words to

that effect. Uh, got in the cab,

went home, cried into my pillow.

So why would he say

that you slept together?

I dunno.

Ego? Maybe he just doesn't

remember. He was completely wasted.

So nothing happened?

No.

I chewed his ear off over

a few drinks, we had a bit of a

boogie, but nothing sexual, no.

You left Stephen no option.

He had to suspend you.

Why did you think I k*lled Grub?

There is something going on with you

and that bridge. There is something

going on with that bridge full stop,

and it is messing with me.

I went back there

yesterday, to find my wallet.

And when I turned around,

there were these two people

just standing there, watching me.

I've seen them before.

Young couple.

She was pregnant.

Did they have anything

to do with Grub's death?

I doubt it.

They're dead.

They've been dead for 70 years.

Stay away from One Lane Bridge.

I'm serious. It's not safe.

What do you mean

it's a link to the other side?

All I know is that it changes you.

This is Annabel Martinez. Rob told

her to come see you about spending

the other night together.

Oh, hi. Rob finally

tracked you down, eh?

I've been in Te Anau.

Lovely. Do you have

any ID on you, Annabel?

Thank you.

You k*lled him. We k*lled him.

It was just a bird.

It was Dad's spirit.

Emma.

How else do you explain it?

It was fit, healthy,

and as soon as you decide

to sell the farm, it dies.

God, I need a drink.

Go. Get wasted. Cause some more sh*t

you can't remember in the morning.

Do you think I could have done it?

Done what?

k*lled Grub. Not remembered it.

Maybe that's why they

can't find who did it?

Don't be stupid.

I should just f*ck' leave.

Why? You won't be suspended forever.

Nah, I'll be fired.

What were you thinking?

You sure you should be training? You

might have wrecked your shoulder.

I'll catch you up.

Don't take it personally.

I've let down everyone's tyres.

I just can't be here any more.

What's going on?

They haven't told you?

They're selling the farm.

You knew?

Yeah. Grub mentioned

it was a possibility.

Five generations

of Braithwaites

have worked this land.

Our bones are in that graveyard.

Same as yours.

You're the only one

that understands.

You really loved him, didn't you?

Joe!

Joe!

Ah, sh*t.

I don't believe in this sh*t!

f*ck.

Emma!

Emma! Emma!

Emma!

Emma!

Emma?

Emma.

I'm a black-out drunk too.

Detective Davis?

Where's Emma? Did she make it?

Why do we do it?

Shut up!

I hate this f*cking place.

I can't do it without you.

You've covered up worse.

Was it Kate?
