Best thing about getting married?
The honeymoon.
Alright, I got it.
Maldives.
Yes!
Paris.
There's no surf in Paris. Yeah, but there's shopping.
Alright, I got it. Hawaii.
Shopping and surf. Boom.
Ooh, that's pretty good. Right?
Yeah, honeymoon sorted!
Guess I better hurry up and propose.
Dragging your feet a little bit.
It's looking a little bare. I might get snatched up, you know?
Alright, ready to go back in?
One more wave.
Zoe!
Zoe! We'll take the bandage...
OK, mate, what's your name?
Yeah, let's get her on. Let's get it off.
No, no! No!
('THOUGHT I WAS' BY PETE MURRAY PLAYS)
Hey, you here for dinner?
Three nights in a row? Mm.
As long as you cook, I don't mind.
You might as well move in. At least that way, you can pay rent.
Mm-hmm. Don't listen to her.
She loves you, really. Except when there's no hot water.
Showers are for showering only.
Come here.
Oh. You two! I've seen enough!
I've gotta go. Mm-hmm.
See ya, mate. I'll walk you when I get home, I promise.
See ya. See ya.
Deceased located on Bevan Cove Beach. Please respond.
An old guy found her.
What's left of her, anyway.
Went into shock. Ambos took him to St Vincent's.
No ID on her, or any identifiable markings.
I'd say she was brought in with the last high tide.
This is about an hour ago.
Been in the water a while.
Obviously, a shark's got to her.
But what isn't clear is what actually killed her.
Zoe, I can run this job, if you like.
What, because of my delicate nature?
Alright, as soon as crime scene are finished, let's move her.
Significant contusions and soft tissue damage.
Multiple micro-lacerations on the torso
with negligible haemorrhaging
suggests the body may have been moved post-mortem.
Thanks very much, Mr Roberts.
Zoe. Where are you? Hospital.
I just took a statement from the guy who found the body.
Any luck with Missing Persons? No, nothing yet.
No viable prints. We're still waiting on DNA.
OK. I'll see you soon.
Dan?
Zo...
What are you doing here?
Um, she's a surfer.
It's Amber Wells.
She was attacked like us.
I'm helping her.
When did you get back?
Three weeks ago. Three weeks? Right.
What, did you lose my number?
A few of us are going for a drink later, so maybe...
Thanks, but I'm busy.
That was her, huh?
Yeah, that was her.
She's pretty.
The rising star has had an outstanding year in 2017
with pundits tipping her to be a world champion of the future...
..cementing her status
as Australia's most exciting surfing prospect...
Well, we can rule out accident.
Ligature marks, fractured hyoid.
She was strangled to death. Time of death, 4-6 days ago.
Do we have an ID on her yet?
What?
Audrey Lynette Gibson.
Been missing five years.
One of Dan's old cases.
He's back. Did you know that?
Seriously? And you didn't think to tell me.
He didn't want me to say anything until he...
Until he what? Until he told you himself.
Unbelievable.
Who else knows?
No-one.
I might've told Anna.
I read you're meant to stroke them on the nose.
Like, it puts them to sleep. Yeah.
How'd that work out for you, Dan?
Yeah, I don't think my shark read that particular study.
I mean, it was the worst pain that I've ever known.
I swear, if someone handed me a gun, I would've just pulled the trigger.
Ah, there's nothing like losing a limb.
Zo.
Hey, I didn't know you were here.
Who are all those people?
That's, um, Bite Club.
Just like us, they lived to tell the tale.
Alright, so what do you do, like get together and compare scars?
Mostly, we drink.
Yeah, we compare scars, too.
Um, Audrey Gibson. She's turned up dead.
Well, that doesn't surprise me.
I always thought her husband murdered her,
but we couldn't prove it without a body.
Not dead five years ago, dead five days ago.
She washed up on the beach this morning,
and according to the autopsy,
she was strangled to death some time in the last week.
Now, I need a, um...
I need some information regarding a statement that you took.
It's from a hire car employee
who claims someone matching Audrey's description
tried to hire a car few days after she disappeared.
Yeah, from memory, the lead didn't go anywhere.
We were pretty sure Audrey was dead.
Yeah, well, she wasn't,
but I'm thinking that she might have tried to use an alias,
but there was no mention of a name in the statement.
Um, I can't really remember. I...
I'm sure I would have written it down somewhere,
maybe in my notebook. Sure. Check.
Does he know about the body washing up, the husband?
Uh, no, not yet. Good.
Use it to your advantage.
He's a clever bastard.
How's Mickey?
He's a dog. He's adjusted.
I head you're seeing someone.
Jim's got a big mouth.
Oh, and if you think of anything else,
maybe give him a call.
Audrey disappeared from my life a long time ago.
And you've heard nothing from her since?
You still think I murdered her?
I don't think anything at the moment, Mr Gibson.
Your wife... Ex-wife.
..she vanished five years ago. Walked out on me.
She never used her credit cards or accessed her bank accounts?
Do you honestly have any idea what I've been through?
I'm sure it must have been a very stressful time.
Yes, it was, but I've moved on since then.
I have a new family. They're all that matters to me.
Michael? Michael, they're going through the baby's room.
Look, how long is this gonna take?
Wait, no, I need that for my work.
You'll get it back in due course.
This is harassment.
Organise a door-knock,
see if anyone's seen Audrey in the neighbourhood recently.
Yep.
I told you to stay upstairs.
Well, it would piss me off
if I was accused of killing my wife and I didn't do it.
Upstairs.
I want a list of everything you're taking.
Of course. I don't trust any of you.
Especially not that, what was his name?
If you're referring to Detective Cooper, you needn't worry.
He's no longer with the department.
Detective Cooper. Dan.
Kristof Olsen, consulting psychologist.
You've been on extended leave without pay
for... almost three years.
What have you been doing in that time?
Soul-searching.
And travel, mostly.
In the last year and a half,
I've worked security for a couple of months.
This gonna take long, or...?
Your return to active duty is predicated on this interview,
so you might want to think about cooperating.
Alright.
So let's talk about the attack.
How did it make you feel?
Like a Sunday lunch, actually.
