- _ - Hey, Mickey!
Hey, buddy.
I have been approached about a position
in the AFP anti-terrorism unit, and
I'm thinking about going for it.
So the week Dan comes back, you decide to
change your job and move to Canberra.
What am I looking at?
The reason you need to stay in Homicide.
The two bodies, three years apart.
And if I'm right, there should be more.
There's a serial killer out there.
- How'd you go in there? - Fine.
It's good for your career, I s'pose.
Yeah, so long as it doesn't attract any more weirdos.
She was in their territory. What does she expect?
Hey, Bob.

Why do you want to be a detective?
I like wearing cheap suits, drinking coffee.
Plus, I can usually tell when people are lying.
- How? - It's in their eyes.
Fear. Fear usually gets everyone in the end.
And you emigrated from England
when you were pretty young.
Big move for an 18-year-old.
I needed a fresh start.
- Why was that? - Bad weather.
It that says here that you spent some time in foster care.
That was a mix-up.
Your parents didn't mistreat you?
No, I was bitten by a dog.
It was my own fault. Poking it with a stick.
Didn't put you off working with them.
Put me off poking things with sticks.
You applied to be a detective with Homicide once before.
Do you know why you were rejected?
Think the old boss had it in for me.
Why was that?
I beat him at quiz night. Felt threatened.
Do you think you're more intelligent than most people?
Well, if I say yes, I'm arrogant,
if I say no, maybe I'm faking humility or lying.
- Either way, I fail the test. - Well, it's not really a test.
- We're just having a chat. - No, of course.
I think I'd make a good detective.
I'd just like the chance to prove it.
Mickey. Hey, buddy! Hi!
Hey, buddy. Hello.
Yeah, good boy. Good boy.
- Hey. - I brought you coffee.
You know, 'cause we're partners and all.
We've got a job.
- Morning. - Morning. How are you?
Mm-hmm. OK, thanks, Doug.
Marten Blumb, 47. Dentist, lives locally.
- He's got form. - For what?
Charge of sexual assault.
One of his patients claims he was molested in the chair.
Come on, Denver.
Hey, Stephen's here. How can I help?
Possible suicide, but doesn't look right.
What, you think it was staged?
Maybe see if Denver can pick something up.
Sure. Hey, come on, Denver. Hey.
Good boy.
Hey, so why do we think
this could be a staging?
I'm applying for detective.
It's important that I know these things.
Well, most suicides don't bother pleasuring themselves.
Sure you want this life, Stephen?
It's not as glamorous as it looks.
Beats clearing up after dogs.
Hey? Good boy, Denver. You got a scent.
Let's go see if we can find something.
So what did Kristof say?
About what?
You know, joining the feds.
He supports me no matter what.
Found something, Denver?
Anything?
No, nothing. We'll keep looking.
Alright, let's go.
Hey, Kevin. How are you?
- It's good to see you. - You too.
Depak. My man.
How goes it? What are you doing in command?
I thought you weren't allowed in here.
Oh, they lowered the bar when they let you in.
Hey, I wondered if you'd do me a favour.
Can you just have a look,
see if there's any prints on this?
I'm going for detective...
I want to make a good impression.
Is this authorised?
Yeah.
Hey, I'll owe you.
Alright. Night out together. Girls, beers.
- You know I'm good for it. - Don't let me down.
Alright, thanks, man.
I was thinking about Mickey.
He can stay with me every now and then.
Like every second weekend.
- Every second weekend? - Yeah.
He's not a child. He's a dog. You can't have visitation rights.
Well, what about what Mickey wants?
I'll be sure to put the question
to him tonight when I get home.
Thanks.
Mrs. Blumb.
They told me Martin killed himself.
Even though it looks like a suicide,
we're treating your husband's death
as suspicious at this point.
Why?
There are some inconsistencies.
Can you tell us anything about his charges?
That woman did it for the money.
And the case was dropped before it even got to court.
The prosecutor told us that there'd
been a number of similar accusations
against your husband.
I was Martin's dental assistant
for ten years before marrying him.
I think I'd know if he was a pervert.
Now that he's dead, is there
anything you can tell us about him?
I don't know what to tell you.
My friends told me I should...
That I was crazy for taking this job.
Crazy why?
Well...
There's been whispers about
Martin within the industry.
And did you ever see any evidence
- to substantiate those whispers? - God, no.
Martin's been the best boss,
a total professional
even when he was under a ton of pressure,
losing clients.
- Was he depressed? - A bit, maybe.
But I can't believe he'd kill himself.
Why?
He was planning on taking early retirement.
- Right. - Selling the practice and
moving to Queensland.
I can't believe he's dead.
- Stephen Langley. K-9, right? - Yeah.
He's already been knocked back once.
Claims his previous boss had it in for him.
Well, what's your take?
Why do you think he really got rejected?
Little bit arrogant.
Describes half the department.
Mm. How'd you go?
Got a print.
Yeah, and?
Ran it through the database. No match.
Right, thanks. Drinks soon, yeah?
Yes, please.
- See you later? - Hmm?
Farewell drinks for one of the techies.
Sure, why not?
Claire?
Dog squad?
Sleazebags, the lot of them.
Stephen's different.
Here you go. Big sniff. Good boy.
Good boy. OK, OK. Good boy.
Another coffee, mate?
Sure.
Oh, you want something to eat?
Bottle of water for the dog would be good.
So, about Mickey...
Look, if we're gonna work together, we can't do this.
Do what? Talk about the dog?
It's not about the dog. It's about crossing lines.
We need to respect each other's boundaries,
otherwise this isn't gonna work.
Lungs are clear. No carbon monoxide.
No coating in the throat.
Your deceased dentist,
he didn't die from inhaling exhaust fumes.
Hi, Carol!
_
- Stephen! - Claire.
What are you doing here? I mean, it's great to see you.
Stephen. Hey.
Uh...
- This is for... - You know each other?
Yeah, this is the guy I was telling you about.
That's so weird. Do... you guys...?
We work together.
You're both cops. Of course. I should've realised.
It's a housewarming gift.
- Thanks! - I was on my way out.
- Work drinks. - Mm-hmm.
We could go together, if you'd like.
I was about to book an Uber.
Oh, I brought my car.
Great, then you can give me a lift?
- Y... Yeah, I can. - Thanks for the plant.
I'll just be a minute.
Brought something for you.
Ah, yes, I've been getting plenty
of comments on this phone.
- Not from that troll, I hope. - Nah, he's gone quiet, actually.
Hmm. Must've gone on holiday.
Did your niece love the puppy?
- Oh, favourite uncle. Hands down. - Of course.
OK, let's go.
- Don't wait up. - I won't.
- See ya. - See ya.
There's no carbon monoxide in his lungs.
Plus, the pathologist found needle marks in his forearm.
It was staged.
A dentist and a molester.
Be top of the most hated list, wouldn't he?
Anyway, guys, listen. It's knock-off time, eh?
- Right. - Yep.
- Oh, hello. - You guys want a drink?
No, no, it's good. I'll get it. I'll get it.
Claire, what are you having, a chardonnay?
And your usual? Spritzer?
Pint, thank you, Jim.
I didn't think you soccer nancies could handle it.
It's football, one of these days,
I'll educate you about the greatest sport in the world.
Cheers.
Maybe we should try again with the wife.
Reactions were all wrong.
Hey, um, did you guys have
a look at the dental technician, Justine Harris?
- How do you know her? - Well, this could be nothing.
I was in a cafe near the crime scene,
a woman walked in, Denver picked up the scent,
so I followed her to her car, got her rego.
- Guess who it turned out to be. - But you didn't report it?
Well, no, I didn't want to waste your guys' time,
so I thought I'd check it out for myself.
Check what out? Cheers.
I showed a photo of the murder
victim to one of her neighbours.
She was pretty sure that she'd seen him visit her house.
Did I just miss something?
Stephen might just have found the dentist's killer.
Right. Go, Stephen.
I'm sure you guys know all this already, right?
Um, could be worth following up?
Well, I gotta go.
Alright. Been real.
- See ya. - Cheers for the drink.
Hey, I think you're onto something with the wife.
- Jim. - Yeah, what was her initial reaction?
- She was... - She was relieved, yeah.
- Hey. - Kristof.
You want a beer, mate?
Nah, we're going out. Ready?
Whenever you are. Night.
- See ya. - Have fun.
Hey, move it.
Oh, look at that face. Let him stay.
Uh-uh. Three's a crowd. Come on. Off the bed.
Come on, Mickey. Go.
Good dog.
Dan wants Mickey every second weekend.
What?
Shared custody.
I hope you told him where to go.
You know he's only doing it so he can stay in your life.
But I'm already in his life.
Not for long.
Well, Canberra.
It's a long way to go to walk the dog.
Ah.
I meant to tell you. I didn't go ahead with the transfer.
Shit, Zo, I've already put things in motion.
I've thought about what you said,
about me loving my job.
I do, and it wouldn't be the same in the feds.
And Dan doesn't have anything to do with this decision?
No.
You're absolutely sure of that?
Hang on. First, it was because of Dan that I was leaving
and now it's because of Dan that I'm staying?
Stop.
Alright, come here. Come here.
_
Hey. Good night?
It's so weird you knowing Stephen.
Yeah, I know, right?
How did you two meet?
Ah, online. He messaged me.
And you like him?
Oh, we're just mates.
Denver!
Hey. Good boy. Hey.
Food?
Oh, hello, Bob.
Troll anyone today?
Amber says hi.
Thought you might've got lucky at the pub last night.
I saw at least one girl checking you out as I was leaving.
Yeah, we had nothing in common.
Plus, I couldn't really bring her back here.
What, so I'm cramping your style now?
Oh, no, it's just the bunk beds.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would do it.
I should probably start looking for my own place anyway.
Nah, there's no hurry.
I don't mind, really.
What about when the boss wants to stay over?
Yeah. Well.
- Simone likes her place. - Ah, right.
So what about Karen?
It's no chance?
No.
No, I stuffed up once too often.
Listen, there's a few boards lying around,
mate, if you want to get in.
Dan. Hey.
- Just been reading about Amber Wells. - Right.
Stunning girl.
She's getting a lot of publicity.
Yeah. Yeah, I've been helping her.
I know. Your name's mentioned three times in the article.
You neglect to mention that you're a detective.
I guess I didn't think it was important.
- It is to me, and to the department. - OK.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Now, I went out on a limb for you.
Sorry.
But the point is, this story, you and Miss Wells,
It could give us a lot of good press.
I want a photo of you and her together.
You mean our scars,
like, out and proud?
Exactly.
Well, why don't we get Zoe involved, too?
Now you're talkin'.
_
We need to capitalise on your reinstatement.
Sure.
Where'd the footage come from?
Anonymous delivery.
Dirty grub.
His accusers were telling the truth all the time.
She knows it's there, which means...
She's in it with him?
Or she put it there.
We need to get a search warrant for her house.
Looks like Stephen was right.
Jim. Heard they made an arrest.
Yeah, they're interviewing her as we speak.
- Hey. - What's this?
Your football education. Oh, sorry. Soccer.
'100 Greatest Ever Goals'.
Well, I'll be sure to put this in my very important item pile.
Get any scratches on it, I'll kill you.
Yep.
Charging her for murder. She did it, right?
- Ah, no. - No?
Well, she suspected the dentist
was molesting his clients,
so she set up a camera in his clinic.
- She was blackmailing him. - She was in his car.
Yeah, to get paid.
When she left, he was still alive.
- But... - She has an alibi, Stephen.
- We've checked it out. - Are you sure?
Look, we do know our job.
Look, the fact is, even if Justine had been the killer,
you could have compromised the case
by talking to the neighbour.
It's best to leave the investigating to us.
Hey, it's me.
Um... I really need to get away for a few days.
Is it OK if I come stay with you?
Give me a call back when you get this.
OK, I'll tell you all about it later.
Here's your lead.
Good boy, good boy.
You know what? You should do it.
Nobody wants to see photos of a one-legged cop.
People are way more interested
in me now than they ever were.
Shark attacks and cat videos.
Hey, why don't you tell your boss
that I'll do it with you?
Shit...
I got home and I found the gate open.
I thought he'd taken off.
Well, I went round to your house
after work, and no-one was home.
What, so you thought you'd just
kidnap him from my backyard?
Don't look at me.
Well, dogs need exercise,
especially when they've been cooped up all day.
I exercise Mickey. I take him for
a walk every day, sometimes twice.
Well, it doesn't look like it.
He is getting a little chubby.
- OK, you can't just... - What, Zo?
Take my dog for a walk?
He's not your dog.
You gave up any ownership rights when you left.
Come on, buddy.
I'm sorry he got you mixed up in this. Come on.
What do you expect, huh?
You stole her dog.
And look, if we're gonna work together,
we need to set some rules.
We're not 12, Zo.
I think we'll work it out as we go.
Well, obviously not.
Rule one, you don't take Mickey from
my backyard without my approval.
OK, fine.
Rule two, don't turn up at my
house without a phone call first.
And I don't wanna talk about
the time you and I were dating.
Well, we were nearly engaged, but sure.
How about rule three?
No lovey-dovey shit with Kristof at work.
Sure. Final rule, from now on, it's strictly professional.
Oh, what, no beers after work?
No beers alone after work.
Oh would that be a problem,
if we were together alone?
I'm happy. And I want to keep it that way.
Just try and respect that, OK?
What have you got?
Uh, this actually turned up on the victim's car.
It was hidden beneath the current spray job.
We actually used really cool mix of acetone and paint stripper...
- OK, thanks. - to remove the top coat.
So whoever did this obviously thought
that graffiti wasn't enough punishment.
It was two months ago.
They spread it across the front of his clinic as well.
Why didn't you tell us this before?
- I was in shock. - Did you report it?
What was the point?
Everyone believed my husband deserved the abuse.
Even the police.
Hello.
Ah...
Could be a little difficult right now.
Bit busy.
Yes, I'm on duty.
OK. Alright.
I'll be right there. Thank you.
What do you think?
Well, her husband's sexual assaults
on patients is pretty clear.
Can she really be that naive?
Oh, she's trying not to face the truth.
Hey, your serial killer.
Why do you think he takes teeth?
A trophy would be my guess.
Was it the same tooth in both cases?
No, guy in the well was right incisor
and the burnt body was the upper left canine.
And there was nothing on dentals.
No.
So maybe, out of all their teeth,
he takes the only ones that could identify them,
like a crown or something.
Come in.
Senior Constable.
Look, it's come to my attention
there's been unauthorised use
of the fingerprint of database.
Have you got anything to say about it?
If you're referring to the coffee cup,
it was in relation to the current murder investigation.
It's not logged in to evidence.
Who asked you to have it tested?
I used my initiative.
Depak.
I understand you want to be a Homicide detective.
Let's be very clear.
You withheld evidence from a crime scene.
My dog's reaction to the cup was inconclusive.
- I took it upon myself to test it. - Without authorisation.
Showing initiative is to be commended,
but it must always go through official channels.
Yes, ma'am. Won't happen again.
"Got your message. When are you coming?"
"Not coming now."
"See you later."
Maybe you can have a word with him.
- Make him see it's good for everyone. - But is it?
I mean, doing a photoshoot
with your ex is not my idea of fun.
I reckon them working together's hard enough as it is.
No new leads on the dentist killer.
Right, well, we need results.
If we drag our heels,
people'll think we don't care for the victim.
Keep me posted
Um, Dan.
- You got a sec? - Yeah, what's up?
Just want to see if you're OK.
Yeah. Why?
Working with Zoe. Can't be easy.
No, no, it's...
It's OK.
OK. Well, good.
Well, my door's always open.
Is that it?
Unless there's something else you want to talk about.
- No. - OK.
Toxicology on the dentist.
Fatal levels of lidocaine found in his blood.
It's an anaesthetic commonly used in dentistry.
Justine Harris. The dental technician.
Maybe Stephen was right after all.
Either way, he overstepped the mark.
Like no-one here has ever done that.
Let's go talk to her.
Good work.
Claire.
I know you like the guy,
but let him fight his own battles, yeah?
Doesn't look like she's home.
OK, you check that side.
Jim, what's up?
OK, we're leaving now.
There was a recent order of lidocaine
through Blumb's dental surgery,
signed for by one of his registered technicians.
So why are we leaving?
Justine Harris didn't place the order.
You ordered the lidocaine?
Yes. For the surgery. Why?
Your husband ODed on it.
I don't understand.
So he did kill himself?
There was no syringe in the car,
so he couldn't have injected himself,
otherwise we would have found it.
We get it.
What you had to put up with.
It was your husband's fault.
Who could blame you for wanting to put an end to it all?
All that shame.
That's not why you murdered him, though, is it?
You thought he was cheating on you.
He wasn't, you know.
Justine was blackmailing your husband,
not sleeping with him.
She filmed him in his surgery.
Used it against him.
Celia Blumb, we're placing you under arrest
for the murder of your husband, Marten Blumb.
_
Hey, wait up. Where are you going?
Meeting Kristof for dinner.
Your idea on the serial killer.
I cross-referenced Missing Persons
for anything related to an upper canine.
- And? - Melody Gibbs, 27.
Her mother reported her missing three weeks ago.
Identifying features, crown, left upper canine.
Which matches exactly to our burned Jane Doe.
- Let's go. Last known address. - I can't.
Oh, come on. It's just work.
It's nothing personal, remember?
Place has been empty since Melody took off.
This is all her stuff?
Her mum's kept up the rent.
I hope she's OK.
She was really nice.
Quiet, always paid on time.
Never any trouble.
She have a boyfriend?
Ooh, I'm not sure.
She was...
She is a very private person.
But, um,
I did see one fella occasionally.
Name? Description?
I don't know his name.
He was, um, I dunno, medium height?
Medium build.
Medium everything, I guess.
I know. I'm sorry. I got caught up at work.
Come here.
Thank you.
Wow. This is very nice.
Cheers.
You trying to get lucky?
I already am.
Come here.
_
This is the victim's phone, it was found here on the ground.
And then the body was found 5km away.
- _ - The search for one psychopath...
Claire, wait here and secure the bag for when forensics are done.
becomes a hunt...
for two.
So we're dealing with two perps?
Where is he?
But down these stairs...
is a twist...
that's a real killer.
