Treasure & Dirt

Where's the head, Gary? Someone's been down there, Gary.

Anything on the soil in McGee's ute?

That's at the bottom of my list.

Jonas McGee. He was strangled to death.

The beheading... Came after.

I don't know where Jonas was getting his black from,

but it was definitely not down that mine.

So this is Kalingra. Nobody works here.

That woman was in Robbie Inglis's car.

It was like she was a different person, but that's her.

Get her on the hook. She's so close.

I can feel it.

You buried him because he had what you wanted.

And eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake

of the kingdom of heaven.

You do me a favour.

Next time you talk to Phelan, why don't you tell him I said hello?

Destroying key evidence in a murder investigation.

Patricia, Patricia. You're playing with fire.

And now for tonight's headline act.

A man who always reads the room just a little too late. (CHUCKLES)

A man who trusts first and thinks second.

Ooh!

Your favourite lone ranger,

Detective Ivan Lucic!

But tonight he's met his match.

She'll stab you in the back and smile while she does it.

Please welcome Detective Nell Buchanan.

Where is my phone?

Ivan, are you OK?

Oh.

Did you lose your special coin again?

Oh.

Did you lose your special boy again?

Shut up, Dazzler!

The mayor's dead.

He's gone.

How long was he in the tub? Five, maybe six hours.

Yeah, we had to fish him out.

He was looking like a steamed dim sim.

That's lunch ruined.

All right, well, I'll get him back to the morgue, do the autopsy.

Gary, can you take Frank for some fresh air?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Three bags full, sir.

Detectives.

Please.

Sit.

Thank you for coming.

What a way to go, eh?

He loved that spa.

It was his safe place.

And yet...

I told him not to keep the blender so close.

But...

..that was my Dougie.

Always living life on the edge.

Right, Pat?

Yeah.

Best ones always do.

Lydia. Mrs Mayor.

When was the last time you saw your husband alive?

It was after you left.

I went to bed to get my beauty sleep, and he decided to stay up.

He wanted to look at the stars.

Any other visitors?

Detective. Please don't.

This wasn't foul play. This...

My husband was loved.

This was a cruel accident. Nothing else.

An accident.

Darling.

This town doesn't do subtle. If someone wanted him dead,

we'd know about it, wouldn't we, Pat?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nice touch.

The statue.

It's important for continuity.

So this hasn't got anything to do with your case.

No?

Why don't you just let the poor woman grieve?

Condolences.

No foul play, my arse.

Are you here for the decapitation or the castration?

Welcome to Nulla. I'm the airport manager, Yuri Sidov.

Detective Senior Sergeant Phelan.

Is it always like this? Oh, it gets worse in summer.

This isn't summer.

You're right. Would you like some water?

It's just $10.

Does it hurt?

Why would do you want to do something like that?

Put yourself in a place like this?

I hate it here.

It's not so bad.

I have a very good nurse.

What were you trying to prove?

Was it...

Was it a test or something?

Hm?

They need to see proof of my devotion.

If I didn't have my phone on me,

David, you would have bled out. Mum!

He's resting.

Your life isn't just yours anymore.

Ivan, I can explain the Phelan thing if you just let me.

No? OK.

Then can you at least tell me why we're back where we started?

We're missing something.

I guess I'll just go over here and look for the thing we missed.

Maybe we should try asking the bats who killed Jonas.

Maybe they saw something.

We could just sit in the dark and you could not tell me

what we missed...

..or what you're thinking

or why you would point a gun at your own head.

Is that what this is about?

Are we down here so you can scare me some more?

Oh, look. Some dirt. Is that what we're looking for?

Are we looking for dirt? Because I can see a lot of it.

No opal here.

What!?

Ivan!

Through here.

I think I'm in Ada's place.

I think they're connected.

Turn that off.

What if it wasn't Jonas's opal?

What if he was stealing it?

From his sister.

What now?

Step outside, Ada.

Why didn't you tell us there's a crawl space?

'Cause I don't know anything about that.

Yeah.

Ada Torshack, you're under arrest for obstruction of justice...

..and under suspicion for the murder of Jonas McGee.

Well, I'd better lock up, then.

Ada.

No, no, no, no, no.

Shit.

How can we help you, Robbie?

Did you hear the news?

May he rest in peace. What?

Kalingra went public. Oh, it was a thing of bloody beauty.

Our beige whale finally breached, unlocked the whole deal.

Breached?

Yeah. We got a backdoor entry onto the NASDAQ, Detective.

The market's just closed. I've been up all night.

Who was your beige whale? Your investors from China?

No. Sadly, they fell through.

Oh, did they find other acting work?

Ah! Here she is!

Old moneybags herself.

Hi, auntie!

This is your beige whale?

Hey, Auntie Coll. Congratulations. I knew you'd come around.

Maybe you can use the money

to turn those shit-catchers into some grown-up pants.

See you at the iron ring.

Indeed. Indeed! Ah!

There's a memorial going on for the sunburnt whale.

You know, Mayor Dougie. May he rest in peace.

So you're done with Kalingra?

No. I've got a small parcel under Founders Lock,

but I can just sit back now,

relax and watch Colleen dig herself a big hole.

Oh, did you guys catch the killer? Nice. Good work.

So I might head off and try and get some sleep.

Any tips, Detective? (CHUCKLES)

Just kidding.

Wanker.

Ada.

Not you. Him.

Also you.

Ada!

Kyle, you're on speaker. You gotta let my mum go.

Kyle, stop! Mum, you didn't do it.

Kyle! I did it.
