One Lane Bridge

We'll go down to the station, say hi to the other officers

- and then head off on a tiki tour. - Yeah. Sounds good, Stephen.

- Tremaine. - It's Grub.

Dad's gone walkabout.

What brings you to Queenstown?

Just wanna learn from the best.

Right.

Kiss-arse.

Charm'll open a lot of doors for you down here.

OK, there she is.

Hi. Your dad asked me to pick you up.

- How's life in Christchurch? - Average.

- Emma. - Oh, this is Detective Davis.

Uh, just call me Riki.

Just so you know, uh, your grandad's gone missing.

Oh.

- How long have you been on the farm? - Coming up 100 years.

- Hey, bubba. How you doing? You OK? - Yeah.

Good.

Hi, Mum.

How long's he been gone?

Poppa!

Poppa!

Poppa!

It's all right, bubs. We'll find him. Yeah?

Always do.

Dementia. Losing his marbles.

Runs a farm for 50 years, and now he can't even open a gate.

That might not be a bad thing today.

Jack? Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Need a hand?

Let's hope not.

I'll let you know if I see him.

- New hobby? - Hm.

- Let me know if you want the chopper. - Thanks.

- Who was that? - The neighbour.

Hot neighbour.

Jack?

I really thought he'd be here.

Charlotte. Stephen.

Can we take you up on that offer of the chopper?

Actually, hold that thought.

Jack! Jack.

- Jack, can you hear me? Hey... - Get bloody off me!

You OK?

You warm?

Thanks so much for finding him.

You're gonna give Stephen a run for his money.

- Yeah, that's the plan. - He's dreaming, mate.

Here you go.

We didn't get a chance to meet before.

This is Riki. Davis.

- Nice to meet you. - Oh. Kate.

Aww.

- Thank you. - It's all right.

Please come.

- You sure? - Yeah. We're expecting over 200.

One more's not gonna make a difference.

- All right. - Mm.

What's the party for?

Oh, centenary party. It's a big deal around here.

It's a miracle Grub's been able to keep this place afloat.

He needs to be in care.

Over my dead body.

- Well, you did good today. - Ah.

Hey, I'm happy to find a place in town until I'm sorted.

Oh, they don't pay you enough for that.

Just put your bike around the side.

No phones at the table.

Here you go.

There you go.

- No... - Well, keep out of it!

All right.

Hey, I got it. I got it.

Take me out the back. Put a bullet between me eyes.

You'd be doin'...

us both a favour.

Waste of a bullet.

Yeah, if it's good enough for the animals, it's good enough for me.

We're not there yet, Dad.

So, how long have you two been married, Lois?

- Oh, it's comin' up 25 years now. - Oh, awesome.

Stephen tells me you're training for the Coast to Coast.

That must take a lot of discipline.

Oh, sleep when you're dead.

Girlfriend? Boyfriend?

Lois, leave the man alone.

- I hope you like red. - I do.

- How do you like your steak? - Uh, medium rare.

Correct.

- Man, this place is awesome. - Yeah, we like it.

Welcome to Queenstown, son.

You must be the new guy.

- Tilly Gardner. - Ariki Davis. Nice to meet you.

Uh, this is you.

- He must've left in a hurry. - Hm.

Couldn't handle the winters.

- Where are you from? - Auckland.

- Where were you born? - Auckland.

Yeah, but what are you?

Cook Island Maori. What are you?

Apparently, I'm an asker of stupid questions.

Is Stephen in yet?

DCS Tremaine's phone. Detective Davis speaking.

OK, we're gonna need a roadblock.

I need you two at the east end of the bridge.

You two, down here.

Tilly, call through to base for additional traffic control.

No public, no cars!

Hey!

I said no public! This is a cordoned-off area.

Nothing like a man with initiative.

- What've we got? Jumper? - Yeah. Injuries are consistent with a fall.

Hey. Uh...

the body we found.

It's Grub.

- Eh? - I recognised him from yesterday.

Couple of the others confirmed it.

I'm so sorry.

Why the fuck hasn't someone covered him up?

Excuse me.

Oh, gidday. Hey.

Mwah. Come on in.

Oh, God, sor... I'm Kate.

- You must be the new offsider. - Detective Davis.

What's wrong?

It's Grub.

We found him at One Lane Bridge.

I'm so sorry.

How long had he been there?

Uh, we don't know.

Was it an accident?

We... We don't know anything yet. Um...

Are you here for the hooley?

Jack, it's Stephen.

Here.

Grub's dead.

- No. - He's out with the dogs.

Um, I think he went out with Dermot.

Something about the sheep.

What time was that?

You have to ask him.

Fuck you, Grub!

Fuck you!

Oh...

I didn't take any.

Please don't tell Mum.

I won't.

Did he drown?

He fell.

What am I gonna do without him?

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

It's gonna be OK.

OK?

I'll get this.

Rob!

Hey, Jackie.

Mwah! Mmm.

- Good to see you! - You too.

- How was Perth? - Oh, it was great.

- Yeah? - Mm.

- Are you ready for the centenary circus? - Ah.
