Kieran, my old colleague from Melbourne. Yours too, I hear.
He tells me you're the best investigator he's ever worked with.
Well, you say that like you don't believe him.

Well?
Michael Suzmann.
No criminal record, didn't gamble, no debts.
Four weeks ago, he was out on his early morning run,
when out of nowhere, a woman appears with a handgun.
(GUNSHOTS)
Shoots him four times.
(HAUNTING MUSIC)
Feels like a hit, right?
How do you know the shooter was a woman?
- There was a witness. - A 12-year-old kid.
ID'd.
Her.
Tamara Innes.
Single, widowed.
No kids.
What?
- Like me. - You're gonna say, like me.
- Was I? - Weren't you?
Nah, I'd never be so forward.
I'll have you know, I'm only civil most of the time.
Me too. Sometimes I am and I'm not all at once.
So you want me to find your shooter?
- Already done that. - She's been charged and bailed.
- So... - So something's not right.
She didn't know the victim. Never met him.
(WOMAN SCREAMS)
As far as we can tell, she's never fired a gun, let alone owned one.
- You got the murder weapon? - Not yet.
Wow, you must think the brief's gonna fly if you've charged.
I didn't want to. I was overruled.
Do your higher-ups know you're talking to me?
- No. - (CHUCKLES) You'll be popular.
I don't care. There's too many loose ends.
Tamara Innes received two phone calls on the morning of the murder...
the first one 20 minutes before the shooting
and the second one immediately before,
from different numbers,
and we haven't been able to trace either of them.
Well, what did she say about them?
Denies everything... phone calls, the shooting, all of it.
I think...
she was set up.
By whom?
You ever sent an innocent person to prison?
I'd like to think not.
Same here. It'd be good to keep it that way.
I know someone who can trace those calls.

Great view.
Oh, the deck wasn't here originally. Michael built it before the kids.
Wow. Public servant and a carpenter. He was clever.
He was good at everything he did.
We were gonna sell this place and build a new house, but, um...
What happened to Michael was awful. I'm sorry.

The funeral was lovely. The children said wonderful things.
Thank you.
Please.

in the police report, you said you'd never seen her before?
Never.
Well, she lives right around here.
Is there a chance that Michael could have met her,
had some sort of altercation?
- He wasn't having an affair with her. - That's not what I meant.
It's the first thing everyone thinks.
Michael wasn't that person. He was a good man.
The police found nothing because there was nothing to find.
No secret phone calls, no text messages, no dangerous liaisons.
(SIGHS) It's so wrong people can just... trash his memory.
Well, have you thought about why she
or anyone would have wanted to do this?
Of course, all the time. And I have no idea.
Michael was loved by everyone who knew him.
Did he run at the same time every morning?
5.30 a.m. every day.
In his favourite runners, favourite shorts, purple football jersey, and...
(SCOFFS) his lucky red socks.
In your statement to police,
you said that Michael had been followed a couple of times.
- Well, he thought he had. - He wasn't sure.
- Did he see who it was? - No.
But we know who it was, don't we?
The woman that shot him in cold blood, Tamara Innes.
And she's... She's not even in jail.
(SIGHS)
How dare she take him away from us?

OK, so they were made from VolP numbers,
set up from a computer with an IP address somewhere in Spain
using a virtual private network. Both numbers now disconnected.
OK, break it down for me into English. Who owns the IP address?
- Impossible to say. - So?
Untraceable.
Excellent. You've come all this way to be no use whatsoever.
Incorrect. Now you know that whoever made calls didn't wanna be found.
That's useful.
Want some?
All right, where do we go from here?
I'm going to visit the alleged shooter.

Oh, I've got some photos here of the weavers
from my last trip to Chiang Mai. Let me show you.
You see? The... The machines are handmade as well.
This technique is hundreds of years old.
- It's amazing. - Mm.
Do you have anything particular in mind?
Well, I wanna make some silk ties for my brother-in-law. It's his birthday.
Oh, lovely.
Yeah, I used to love the ones that my husband had.
There was a herringbone one, and the other one was a geometric pattern,
kind of like an Escher drawing
- Any colours? - Yes, the herringbone one was green,
and the other one was sort of pastely sky blue.
You know, I think I have something out back.
Would... Would this one work?
I mean, I know that my husband would've loved that.
Did he pass away?
Yeah, a few years ago now.
I'm sorry.
I..
- I lost my husband just 10 months ago. - No.
I... still miss him.
- Every day. - I bet.
The... The ties are for his brother.
Mm-hm, that's right.
What a lovely way to keep him in your thoughts.
Uh, yeah, I'll take 2m, please.
- This pattern is so pretty. - I'll be with you in just a minute.
She talks to a total stranger
about how much she misses her dead husband.
I know, it's like dead husband week here.
Sorry.
The point is,
it's not what you expect from a woman who's killed her secret lover.
Hm, depends how secret she wants the lover to be.
Can you copy the contents of any phone to your cloud account?
Yep.
- Mine? - Sure.
Alexa, as if.
The two VolP phone numbers are in her contacts.
With names.
No, but she obviously knew who they were if she put them in there.
Did the case notes say anything about Tamara's mental health?
Yeah, there was a reference to depression. Why?
Her diary says she was seeing a shrink.
Once a fortnight for five months.
Last appointment was a month ago.
- Oh. - Go on. Say you're glad I came.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
Hello. I'm here to see Dr McMaster.
Oh, do you have an appointment?
No, I called about half an hour ago. Alexa Crowe.
Oh, yes. Just let me finish up...

- Right. Nice to you. - Oh, you're Dr McMaster?
- I am, yeah. James, please. - And you run your own reception?
Oh, no, no. My receptionist has an exam tomorrow,
so I gave her the day off.
- That's good of you. - It is,
considering I'm an appalling typist.
- Would you like to come in? - Please.
So you say you work with the police. What does that mean?
I'm a consultant of sorts.
Ooh, that sounds nebulous.
I can put you in touch with a detective
if you wanna check my bona fides.
- No, no, there's no need. - How can I help?
Can you tell me why Tamara Innes was seeing you?
Uh, I need to be a bit careful.
I've been told that I might be called as a defense witness
for her trial, and...
Patient confidentiality. I understand.
I'm just trying to get some sense of
how she could have done what she's accused of and why.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a... a puzzle, I agree.
Well, when you were treating her,
did you ever think she was capable of violence?
I really didn't, no.
She's a lovely woman who's coped with an awful lot.
And if she did do this horrible thing,
it means that I missed something, that I failed her.
That's... quite confronting.
Was it just depression that she had?
Oh, I'm so sorry. I just― I can't talk specifics.
But there was...
a lot of emotional trauma after her husband died.
Well, I do get that.
You can relate?
Yes, I can.
When people lose the love of their life,
it can leave them feeling hollowed out.
The stages of grief are very real,
but they very rarely play out as the textbooks say.
They often come unexpectedly, randomly.
I'm still not sure I ever made it past anger.

Well, you present very well for an angry person.
- You got me on a good day. - (CHUCKLES)
Well, thanks for the chat.
Well, I don't feel like I've been much help.
I don't know about that.
So if you've been tapped to be a defence witness,
I'm guessing you don't think Tamara's guilty?
I really don't want her to be.
Well, thank you.
Hey, um...
Do you wanna grab a meal?
Food's great when you're angry.
- What kind of a meal? - I don't know. You choose.
Hey.
MADISON, ON PHONE: Have you got any lentils?
- Why? - I'm cooking dinner.
Persian soup and lamb tagine.

(SIGHS) To be honest, I was kind of hoping you were calling from
the airport.
I delivered your bread to Reuben's cafe.
He's hot, in case you haven't noticed.
There is no dignity in sucking up.
Well, how's this for sucking up?
Tamara Innes takes the same route home
from her shop every evening at 6,
- except for the night of the shooting. - Go on.
According to her location data,
on that night she left at 9, went via the harbour,
and stopped for one minute, 27 seconds.
Where at the harbour?
- How long have you been in homicide? - About 12 years.
Started off in fraud, but didn't go for it much.
- Don't get along with desks. - Me neither.
Hey, you've gotta keep your heart rate up.

Tamara, the police found the gun that you threw in the harbour.
Who... Who are you?
I found the gun in one of my pockets that morning.
I have no idea how it got there.
And then I saw a report of the shooting on the news and I panicked.
Why didn't you take the gun to the police?
Cos I was scared.
When my husband died, the police asked me so many questions,
so many awful, awful questions
that made me feel like I was responsible for his death.
How did your husband die?
There was a fire in the garage.
He was working under the car.
He couldn't get out in time.
It was a nightmare.
Now I'm... Now I'm stuck in another one.
You don't believe me.
Tamara, I want you to tell me exactly what you did
the morning that Michael Suzmann was shot.
I've been through this so many times!
Once more. Just for me, please.
All right.
I woke up at 5.30am. I got dressed. I went for a run.
Do you always go the same way?
Yes, down past the creek to the bay and back.
I got home, had a shower, breakfast. Then I found the gun.
So you found the gun after your shower?
Yes.
- You didn't notice it before? - No.
How long were you in the shower?
I don't know. (STAMMERS) Five minutes?
You know the two phone calls that you got?
I didn't get any phone calls
Tamara, you did. They're logged in your phone records.
I don't know anything about any damn phone calls.
I don't even take my phone with me when I run.
Your phone was in the same place at the same time
when Michael Suzmann was killed.

He owns an investment property across the road from here.
We were planning to sell our house to developers,
who were gonna knock it down and build apartments.
Did he talk to Michael?
Ah, not at that meeting, but he came to our door once.
He said that if we allow developers in,
it would block his view of the harbor and cost him money.
He was very insistent.
- He offered to buy us out. - And you said no, obviously.
Well, I was tempted. He would've kept the house as is.
But, um... Michael said the offer wasn't good enough.
Was it an acrimonious discussion?

Well, apparently you were most insistent

Do you recollect where you were when he was shot?
Why?

All right, let's go.
What are we looking for?
It's one of those 'I'll know when I see it' kinds of things.
Oh, great. One of those.
I don't think I'm wearing the right shoes.
Come on, I believe in you.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
You know,
that is the second biggest Newton's cradle that I've ever seen.
- Where have you seen a bigger one? - Get Smart.
I am smart.
He's got one of those on his desk.
Yeah, the transfer of impulse from one body to another.
- So, how much further? - Not far.
Should be up here.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
You know, when I told my parents I was coming to work with you,
my father said it was a chance to experience new
and interesting things.
- Well, he wasn't wrong, was he? - Yeah, you think?
(SIGHS) Look, Tamara's location data says she was around here
somewhere.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
Did you find something?
Yes.
Gimme the keys.
Are you going to tell me what you're doin'?
Keys, please.
Thank you.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC CONTINUES)
Did you really take long service leave to come here?
Yeah, three months' full pay.
- Three months? - Mm.
You must've joined the police when you were like...
16. Youngest forensic data analyst ever.
Well, that is impressive.
Well, it was either that or be charged with illegally accessing
the government's inquiry into climate change.
- Oh, yeah? Why'd you do that? - Because I could! (CAR APPROACHES)
Hello.
Nice car.
Oh.
Thank you.
Looks like you're in the market for a midlife crisis.
(CHUCKLES DRILY)
Wanna tell me what you're doing on my property?
Oh, just looking around. It's a great spread you've got here.
Uh-huh. Well, gets me out of the house.
How's your anxiety going?
- It's much better, thanks! - Good to hear.
I thought you might like to know that I've reported
your little excursion to the police.
- Guess dinner's off then. - (CHUCKLES DRILY)
The more I see that guy, the less I like him.
- Yeah. - (CELL PHONE RINGTONE BARKS)
My sister again!
Wait a minute.
Were there special ringtones on Tamara's phone
when she was called from those VolP numbers?
- I can check. - Yeah, you check. I'll drive.
(BIRDS SQUAWK)
(CRUISY MUSIC)
Apparently you've been trespassing.
Would you like me to accompany you down to the station, officer?
I was thinking of dragging you out of the house in handcuffs.
Looks better on TV.
Keeping the community safe. I see what you're doing there.
You have unusual methods.
Never promised you a rose garden.
James McMaster has important friends. He can make life difficult.
Now that's a coincidence, because
I was thinking of doing the same thing to him.
Present for ya.
You might wanna get those down to ballistics.

So, the spell wore off and you turned into a consultant?
Are you sure that it wore off?
I gotta say, I have not been on a firing range for years,
and I am really happy to know I still got it.
(CHUCKLES DRILY)
- It's time you left. - Don't be a killjoy. I just got here.
Are you planning on shooting me, Alexa?
Don't be silly. I just came to tell you a story.
It's about a well-known doctor
whose pride and ego are so out of control that he can't stand losing,
- especially when money's involved. - Mm-hm.
And he tries to buy a house
to stop the view from his investment property being lost.
But like any good narcissist,
when he's told to get stuffed,
he Thinks that revenge is his only option.
But right about this time, a patient walks into his office
and he realises she's a one-in-a-thousand hypnosis subject.
And that's when he puts it together...
using her, he can have the homeowner killed
and make it look like he's had nothing to dowith it!
- Two birds, one stone. - Wow.
- You're out of your mind. - It gets better.
So, over months of treatment sessions,
he conditions the patient to become totally suggestible,
so she'll do whatever he wants, whenever he wants,
and he gets her to come out to his farm,
and he trains her to shoot a gun, like this.
(GUNSHOTS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
And then he makes her forget that she was ever there.
- How do you like my story so far? - Mm, it's hilarious.
But how to get her to act contrary to her moral code?
Well, that's a tricky one.
But our doctor is very, very clever,
and he trains her to think that she's just shooting a target
instead of this poor bloke
that he's been following secretly on his morning run.
And to get her pull the trigger at exactly the right moment,
he uses a very special ringtone that is programmed into her phone.
- (CELL PHONE RINGTONE SQUAWKS) - (CHUCKLES)
And how do you think you could ever prove any of this?
Shall we give it a go?
Tamara.
Hold this for me, love.
Will I play the ringtone?
Please do. I'm intrigued.
Oh!
What am I thinking of?
I forgot the most important part.
Michael Suzmann's shirt colour.
We wouldn't want her to shoot the wrong person.
No, no, no! Don't play that!
- (CELL PHONE RINGTONE SQUAWKS) - No, no, no!
(GUNSHOTS)
It's all right, Tamara.
(PANTS)
Relax, they're just blanks.
Now look into my eyes.
Look into my eyes! Hey.
And breathe with me.
- (PANTS) - In and out.
(CRUISY JAZZ MUSIC)
Wow.
Eh.
Madison?
- Madison? - I'm coming.
Oh, that looks great on you.
Where you goin'?
Well, you said three days and I've been here five.
Yeah. How long were you expecting to stay?
Oh, I was prepared to give it a couple of months, but that's cool.
It's been great hanging out.
Yeah, it has.
Well.
- I guess I'll see ya 'round. - Yeah.
- That bag's empty, isn't it? - Yes.
- You really suck at this, don't you? - Yeah.
Is that a door key?
Now, if you can guess which door, you can have it.
Ooh, front door.
The prize goes to the lady with the empty travel case.
- I can pay rent. - Yes, you will.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(LAID-BACK SOULFUL MUSIC)
Oh, hi.
Nice shirt.
Oh, this old thing?
- Kieran said you drink white. - Very nice.
Now, I do drink red too, but only, like, super good red.
Noted.
We're getting Tamara some help.
Excellent. What about the good doctor? You charged him?
Conspiracy to murder.
Publicity will take some shine off his halo at the very least.
Yeah, I'd like to see that.
Now, regarding hypnotism...
I believe you owe me an apology.
Yeah, why don't you ask me in and we can talk about it?
Easy.
I hardly know ya.
(SOULFUL MUSIC)
Thanks for the wine!
Wanna watch a movie?
(SNEEZES)
Good boy.
♪ So good at being in trouble. ♪
- Oh, this is a good one. - Yeah?
Ah!
All right, what is going on with you and that place?
Every time you come back, you've got that face on.
There's nothing wrong with my face.
He died three weeks ago when he was out for his regular training.
Shark attack?
The surf was too big, he had a heart attack, and I couldn't get to him.
Rory couldn't have been more unlucky if he tried.
You're doing a great service for your country.
OK.
Do you ever finish any of the food that you buy, or?
- You'll get used to it, mate. - She's an acquired taste.
I just don't care for the beach.
