00:01:37 Welcome to the House of Screams.
00:01:42 Yes, I'll just get you guys to park down the end there.
00:01:46 Cheers, guys.
00:01:47 Be honest, how scary is it?
00:01:49 Don't worry, it's not that bad.
00:01:51 Bit of fun.
00:01:52 Just remember, it's not real.
00:01:57 See?
00:01:58 It's just fake blood and...
00:02:01 One sec.
00:02:06 Mr. Milgaard?
00:02:08 Are you alright, mate?
00:02:10 What's going on out here?
00:02:15 I'll go and get the first aid kit.
00:02:18 Might be a bit late.
00:02:23 Chad?
00:02:24 Baby?
00:02:26 Are you okay?
00:02:32 What?
00:02:42 [MUSIC]
00:02:53 Grim start to the season?
00:02:55 Spring.
00:02:57 The spooky season.
00:03:00 Halloween?
00:03:02 You have heard of Halloween, haven't you?
00:03:05 We don't really do that here in New Zealand, do we?
00:03:08 Tell that to these people.
00:03:10 Halloween's become an entire season, not just a day.
00:03:16 The victim appears to be a Chad Feldman, 18 years old,
00:03:20 in his last year at Brokewood High.
00:03:23 Jeez, he's just a kid.
00:03:26 Apparently he came here with his girlfriend.
00:03:29 They were heading to a Halloween party.
00:03:33 Hi, Chad.
00:03:36 Safe to say that's not part of the costume.
00:03:41 Was there a second injury?
00:03:43 That's John Milgrove.
00:03:45 He's the manager.
00:03:46 Apparently he fainted after he saw Chad sporting the sickle necklace look.
00:03:52 Manager of what?
00:03:54 What is this place?
00:03:55 It's called the House of Screams, sort of a live haunted house experience.
00:04:00 Yeah, and the ghouls?
00:04:03 Yeah, the staff.
00:04:05 They asked to be referred to as screamers.
00:04:08 I bet they did.
00:04:11 Excuse me, sir or ma'am, would you mind stepping back for us?
00:04:15 Detective Simpson, it's me, Frodo.
00:04:19 Frodo?
00:04:22 You're a screamer?
00:04:24 Apprentice, yeah, I haven't graduated to the main floor.
00:04:27 Currently I'm just parking cars, but I saw the whole thing.
00:04:31 It was gnarly as hell.
00:04:32 Do you remember seeing him and his girlfriend arrive?
00:04:35 I do remember, yes, because it was quite memorable.
00:04:39 Excuse me.
00:04:45 Excuse me, guys.
00:04:47 Sorry, you're actually not allowed to park here,
00:04:50 even if your car is awesome.
00:04:52 Is the disabled parked?
00:04:54 Well, I am disabled, so that's a bit insensitive.
00:04:57 Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see a sticker.
00:05:00 Yeah, I've got no legs.
00:05:04 Okay, well, I can clearly see you've got legs.
00:05:08 These are fake legs.
00:05:09 Dad, don't be a munter.
00:05:11 Look, I'm going to have to ask you to move, please.
00:05:13 All right, all right.
00:05:14 Keep your hair on.
00:05:16 Hey, give that back, you little twerp.
00:05:18 That's property of the House of Screams.
00:05:21 My dad just bought the place, so technically it's mine,
00:05:24 but here you go, bud.
00:05:26 Hey, park my car for me, will you?
00:05:32 Cheers, buddy.
00:05:33 Appreciate you.
00:05:36 And did you move the car?
00:05:38 Yeah, I mean, begrudgingly.
00:05:40 But then later--
00:05:47 Oi, give me the keys.
00:05:50 I'm not sure that--
00:05:52 I was going to call the cops.
00:05:53 It seemed like he was a bit pissed,
00:05:55 but I didn't have my phone.
00:05:57 But I took down the number plate.
00:06:07 Oh, well, anyway, that's all I saw,
00:06:12 until he came out of the woods over there.
00:06:15 That's fake blood.
00:06:16 Yeah, they make it here.
00:06:18 It's mostly maple syrup with some cochineal
00:06:20 and coffee for depth of color.
00:06:22 Ooh.
00:06:24 Put some feelers out for that car,
00:06:26 and let's start getting some statements.
00:06:28 Copy that.
00:06:29 On it.
00:06:30 Maple syrup.
00:06:46 Maple syrup.

00:07:42 [ominous music]
00:07:45 Any ghosts?
00:08:00 Uh, one or two.
00:08:02 Well, after speaking to the screamers,
00:08:04 it seems that one of them is missing,
00:08:06 a teenager by the name of Kyle Harris,
00:08:09 who plays the undead scarecrow.
00:08:12 And in the House of Screams,
00:08:13 the scarecrow carries a sigil.
00:08:16 Ah, let's start in there.
00:08:18 I've got the feeling that Kyle
00:08:20 was watching me from the trees.
00:08:23 Okay.

00:09:03 Lena, are you sure that you wouldn't like us
00:09:05 to get one of your parents in here?
00:09:07 I know that you're 18, but--
00:09:08 They just stress me out more.
00:09:11 Okay, well, we'll make this quick.
00:09:13 We just simply need to know what happened.
00:09:16 Okay.
00:09:17 So, you and Chad were dating?
00:09:21 We've been together forever,
00:09:23 like almost two years.
00:09:25 It's gonna be our anniversary next weekend.
00:09:30 [sniffles]
00:09:31 Um, why don't you just tell us
00:09:34 what you remember about tonight?
00:09:40 [clears throat]
00:09:42 Uh, we were gonna go to a party.
00:09:46 Today was the last day of school
00:09:47 before everyone went on study leave.
00:09:49 I wanted to make sure I looked really good
00:09:51 because Chad loves Halloween.
00:09:53 He's, like, obsessed with all American stuff.
00:09:55 Hey, babe.
00:09:56 Hey, baby.
00:09:58 Wow, you look great.
00:10:00 Mm-hmm.
00:10:03 What are you, like a football player?
00:10:07 It's a surprise.
00:10:09 Finn's gonna love it.
00:10:13 Baby, I thought it was date night.
00:10:15 It is.
00:10:16 Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:10:19 Hi, Finn.
00:10:21 You guys keen for a quick detour?
00:10:23 It'll be fun.
00:10:25 I promise.
00:10:27 This Finn, he and Chad were friends.
00:10:29 He's basically Chad's shadow.
00:10:31 To be honest, I think Chad disliked
00:10:33 having him around for protection.
00:10:34 Was Chad the type of person
00:10:36 who needed protection?
00:10:38 Well, he wasn't always the nicest to people.
00:10:42 No, oh, come on.
00:10:44 That's so mean.
00:10:45 Guys, really?
00:10:47 Chad, stop it.
00:10:49 Leave the poor guy alone.
00:10:54 Well, that's good of you to try and stop him.
00:10:58 Chad's father has just bought
00:11:00 the House of Screams.
00:11:01 Is that right?
00:11:02 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:04 Bought it off a weird guy who owns the place.
00:11:06 I'm afraid we don't offer discounts.
00:11:08 Oh, I'm not after a discount, John.
00:11:11 I'm gonna go in for free.
00:11:12 I'm running a business.
00:11:14 It's only $10.
00:11:15 It's not like you can't afford it.
00:11:16 If you don't let us in,
00:11:18 I'm gonna call my dad and have him fire us.
00:11:22 Go right ahead.
00:11:24 Do you think I care?
00:11:29 Oh, it's ringing.
00:11:32 All right.
00:11:33 All right!
00:11:35 Just don't touch any of the props.
00:11:37 And please respect the performers.
00:11:41 What's this?
00:11:42 It's one of your father's ideas.
00:11:44 Drum up ticket sales.
00:11:45 So what, if I can get through the whole place
00:11:47 without screaming,
00:11:48 I want a trip to Vegas.
00:11:50 Easy.
00:11:51 Well, not you, obviously.
00:11:54 It wouldn't be fair.
00:11:56 In any case,
00:11:58 nobody has ever made it through
00:12:00 without screaming.
00:12:02 You're calling me a pussy, John.
00:12:04 What?
00:12:05 Hey, come here.
00:12:11 I don't suppose that you heard
00:12:12 what Chad said to him?
00:12:14 Probably something dumb.
00:12:16 Chad made a lot of dumb jokes.
00:12:18 Sometimes they really annoy me.
00:12:20 You little bastard.
00:12:22 But now I'll never hear them again.
00:12:30 Is this cow's milk?
00:12:38 Um, anyway.
00:12:42 (screams)
00:12:51 If I'm being honest,
00:12:52 it was kind of lame.
00:12:54 (screams)
00:13:09 Especially because a lot of the actors
00:13:10 are just, like, people from our school.
00:13:13 And some of them weren't even really trying.
00:13:17 Uh, that's, uh, Minnie Wiley
00:13:20 who goes to your school?
00:13:21 She started this year.
00:13:23 I tried to make friends with her,
00:13:24 but she had other ideas.
00:13:53 (screams)
00:14:04 Not that I could blame her.
00:14:07 You've seen how hot Chad is, right?
00:14:11 Oh, I couldn't comment.
00:14:15 Because he's dead?
00:14:18 No, because he's a teenager.
00:14:21 I get it. You were saying?
00:14:24 Hmm.
00:14:26 After that,
00:14:27 Chad and Finn snuck off to drink their booze.
00:14:29 I went to the toilet,
00:14:30 and when I came back--
00:14:32 Where's Finn?
00:14:33 Having a soak.
00:14:36 I was just happy we were finally alone.
00:14:38 Baby, here we go.
00:14:41 This place is gross.
00:14:43 Not yet, okay?
00:14:45 I want to see the rest.
00:14:47 It's our special night.
00:14:49 I'm not drunk.
00:14:51 Why didn't Chad just ask his dad for the money?
00:14:53 Sounds like he had a lot of it.
00:14:55 Wayne's really tight,
00:14:56 especially with Chad.
00:14:57 I mean, he doesn't trust him with money.
00:14:59 And why was it a special night for you two?
00:15:02 We don't need too many details.
00:15:06 Chad was meant to be leaving.
00:15:08 He was going to L.A. to stay with his mother
00:15:11 for a few months, and then after that,
00:15:13 he was going to start uni at Yale.
00:15:16 Wow. Yale.
00:15:18 He wasn't going to finish the school year.
00:15:20 Didn't see the point. He'd already gotten in.
00:15:22 Well, that's impressive.
00:15:24 It was mostly through his dad's connections and money.
00:15:27 Well, that must have been tough for you both,
00:15:29 having to leave each other.
00:15:32 I think Chad was taking it especially hard.
00:15:35 Please, baby, let's just go.
00:15:38 Oh, my God.
00:15:39 Leave me alone.
00:15:41 You're so clingy.
00:15:44 [door opens]
00:15:46 I went out for some fresh air,
00:15:54 and that's when...
00:15:55 [screams]
00:15:58 I just thought he'd failed the challenge.
00:16:01 But he was fighting for his life, wasn't he?
00:16:04 And I did nothing.
00:16:06 Well, you couldn't have known.
00:16:11 And that was the last time you saw him?
00:16:14 Yeah.
00:16:15 Until I saw him with...
00:16:18 with, um...
00:16:20 Sam's name.
00:16:21 Okay.
00:16:23 Thank you, Lena. You've been very helpful.
00:16:25 It was Kyle Harris, right?
00:16:27 He used to go to our school.
00:16:28 I heard it was Kyle that killed him.
00:16:30 Uh, well, we don't know anything yet,
00:16:33 but we do need to find Kyle and ask him some questions.
00:16:36 He used to go to your school?
00:16:38 He got kicked out last year for dealing drugs.
00:16:40 He was probably high out of his skull.
00:16:43 The cause of death is not surprising.
00:16:53 Severed artery in the neck from a wound at the base of the skull.
00:16:57 Stabbed from behind.
00:16:58 It appears so.
00:16:59 Death would have occurred within minutes.
00:17:02 There was also a noticeable gash on the leg.
00:17:05 Smaller, but most likely from the same weapon.
00:17:08 That fits with the smaller spatters of blood
00:17:10 that we found outside the building.
00:17:12 Also of note, a scratch on his face.
00:17:15 Here.
00:17:16 A fingernail?
00:17:17 I think so.
00:17:19 Hmm.
00:17:21 Gina, don't tell me you're into Halloween, too.
00:17:24 Mike, I love it.
00:17:25 Every year I go trick or treating.
00:17:27 Oh, that's nice.
00:17:28 What, escorting nieces or nephews?
00:17:30 Wait, I didn't think you had any.
00:17:32 I don't, and I wouldn't.
00:17:34 They only slow you down.
00:17:35 I like going on my own,
00:17:37 particularly when people ask me for a trick.
00:17:40 Do you want to know my trick?
00:17:42 Senior, the father's here.
00:17:45 Mr. Feldman, thanks for coming in.
00:17:56 What do I have to do?
00:17:57 We need you to formally identify the body.
00:18:01 You're up to it.
00:18:04 [music playing]
00:18:07 What a waste.
00:18:13 He was--
00:18:14 That's my boy.
00:18:19 That's Teddy.
00:18:22 You're such a good kid, Gina.
00:18:23 Any word on this Kyle Harris?
00:18:30 Uh, we, uh, still looking for him.
00:18:32 Waste of space.
00:18:34 Yeah, at this stage, he remains a person of interest.
00:18:37 How hard is it to find a teenage junkie in this town?
00:18:41 We will find him.
00:18:42 You better.
00:18:44 I've got some powerful friends in the city,
00:18:47 and I'm not afraid to call them.
00:18:50 This is a difficult time for you, Mr. Feldman.
00:18:54 Russian toffee?
00:18:55 [music playing]
00:18:58 Mike?
00:19:04 No, thanks, Gina.
00:19:05 [music playing]
00:19:12 [music playing]
00:19:15 Hello?
00:19:38 Uh, hello?
00:19:39 Mr. Milgrove, it's Detective Christian Sims
00:19:42 from last night.
00:19:43 Come in.
00:19:44 We're just painting babies.
00:19:45 [music playing]
00:19:51 I don't know what I was expecting.
00:20:00 Hello, detectives.
00:20:01 It's good to see you again.
00:20:03 That's my daughter, Ariel.
00:20:06 Nice to meet you.
00:20:08 So you wanted to have a look around?
00:20:11 Ah, yes, please.
00:20:13 [music playing]
00:20:16 It's a terrible, terrible thing.
00:20:19 I've run the house of screams for six years,
00:20:21 and in that time, we've never had so much as a skinned knee.
00:20:24 Mind your head.
00:20:26 You'll find that the house is full of secret entrances
00:20:30 and hidden passages for the screamers to get about.
00:20:33 And if you're looking to kill someone?
00:20:36 I resent that.
00:20:38 You recently sold your business to Chad's father,
00:20:42 Wayne Feldman, is that correct?
00:20:44 I had to.
00:20:45 This place has never made a profit.
00:20:47 We do it for love.
00:20:48 This is one of the oldest buildings in Brokenwood.
00:20:51 That's why it needs so much work.
00:20:53 And a whole second story needs to be redone.
00:20:57 This-- it's quite-- quite beautiful in daylight,
00:21:01 though, isn't it?
00:21:03 Uh, yeah.
00:21:04 It's great.
00:21:05 Is it at all possible to stop that noise?
00:21:08 Uh, yes.
00:21:12 Ariel, can you make sure all the speakers are turned off,
00:21:15 please?
00:21:16 We're scaring our guests.
00:21:18 I didn't say I was scared.
00:21:20 This way.
00:21:21 This is the Hall of Terror.
00:21:26 At night, it's completely pitch black.
00:21:28 Hunters hold this rope and have to feel
00:21:30 their way through the room.
00:21:32 That's where Chad was first attacked.
00:21:34 Poor, poor boy.
00:21:37 Uh, Chad's girlfriend, Lena, said that he
00:21:40 was harassing you last night.
00:21:42 I wouldn't say harassing.
00:21:43 He had a lot of spirit.
00:21:45 She also said that he whispered something to you.
00:21:49 You little bastard.
00:21:52 It was a remark about my daughter.
00:21:54 It doesn't bear repeating.
00:21:56 He was a nasty little turd.
00:21:58 Thought he was a poor, poor boy.
00:22:01 I suppose he was both.
00:22:02 This is Kyle Harris' cubby.
00:22:10 But have you had any more ideas about where he might be?
00:22:13 Because we can't even find an address.
00:22:16 No, I'm sorry.
00:22:17 I don't know.
00:22:19 I know he's had a few problems, but he's always
00:22:22 been hardworking and polite around here.
00:22:25 I don't like to judge.
00:22:27 Kristen.
00:22:28 Kristen.
00:22:29 Oh, Christ.
00:22:41 Chad was not a good person.
00:22:45 That's Ariel, isn't it?
00:22:47 He was cruel, and he was a bully.
00:22:49 They all were.
00:22:50 When you say they, you mean--
00:22:52 Them, Lena, and Finn.
00:22:54 They're all not nice people.
00:22:56 [SCREAMING]
00:22:59 [SCREAMING]
00:23:02 [GASPING]
00:23:05 You OK, Ariel?
00:23:08 God, you look awful.
00:23:10 Are you just a bit hormonal, babe?
00:23:12 I can see why you wear all that black makeup usually.
00:23:16 Yikes.
00:23:18 You're such a little freak.
00:23:20 You know what I heard is good for exercising demons?
00:23:24 All you want to--
00:23:26 [LAUGHING]
00:23:29 Kristen.
00:23:32 Whoa.
00:23:33 I don't think you're supposed to play character.
00:23:35 It's just a joke.
00:23:36 No need to get all psycho.
00:23:37 I was just trying to do my job.
00:23:45 I'm sorry that happened to you.
00:23:47 I'm not asking for pity.
00:23:48 I just want you to leave Kyle alone.
00:23:50 He would never hurt anyone.
00:23:51 At this stage, we just want to speak with him.
00:23:54 I know what people say about him, the drugs.
00:23:57 But it's not true.
00:24:00 It was Chad.
00:24:03 Everyone knew who the weed dealer at school was.
00:24:05 Kyle never even touched the stuff.
00:24:14 He was just a bit strange, like me.
00:24:19 But that didn't matter to anyone else.
00:24:21 OK, everyone, attention this way, please.
00:24:23 Put your hands on your desks, thank you.
00:24:26 Officer.
00:24:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:24:31 It's not mine.
00:24:52 Come with me, please.
00:24:54 [CHATTER]
00:24:57 Come on, boys.
00:25:00 OK, that's it, everyone.
00:25:02 Settle down now.
00:25:03 Back to work, thank you.
00:25:05 And I tried to help Kyle make an appeal.
00:25:07 We told the principal that it was Chad.
00:25:09 But his daddy came down with his flash lawyers
00:25:11 and said that if we so much as implied
00:25:13 his son was responsible, that we'd end up in court.
00:25:17 It worked.
00:25:18 Kyle was suspended.
00:25:21 Kyle was innocent then, and he is innocent now.
00:25:26 You have to believe me.
00:25:29 What do you think?
00:25:30 I think she accidentally gave a pretty good motive for Kyle
00:25:33 wanting to kill him.
00:25:35 I didn't realize that you had such a thing
00:25:37 for creepy children singing.
00:25:39 Comms to BW1.
00:25:41 Maybe if they were singing Prince.
00:25:42 [CHUCKLES]
00:25:44 Go ahead, comms.
00:25:49 A vehicle's been discovered down the side of Blackwater Gully
00:25:52 matching the description of the deceased's car.
00:25:55 Copy that, en route.
00:25:56 Can't spend the night down the bank.
00:26:10 Dehydrated, possible concussion.
00:26:12 And I'm guessing that'd be Finn Clark.
00:26:18 [CLICK]
00:26:19 Drunk driving?
00:26:20 Are you kidding me?
00:26:22 I told you--
00:26:23 No, you've ruined your life, Miss.
00:26:25 I hope you know that.
00:26:26 Get that through your thick skull.
00:26:28 You're a disgrace.
00:26:29 [GLASS SHATTERS]
00:26:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:26:33 Fine.
00:26:39 Hi.
00:26:40 Come in.
00:26:41 Thank you.
00:26:42 Finn, this is Detective Sims.
00:26:45 Hi, Finn.
00:26:46 How are you feeling?
00:26:47 He's got a broken ankle and a minor concussion.
00:26:51 Oh.
00:26:53 No offense.
00:26:54 Your dad made your injuries sound a lot worse.
00:26:58 Worse than my rugby career being over?
00:27:00 It's too soon to know that.
00:27:02 What is serious is your blood alcohol levels.
00:27:05 It's frankly a miracle you're still alive,
00:27:07 getting behind a wheel in your state.
00:27:10 That might be hard to believe right now,
00:27:12 but there is more to life than rugby.
00:27:15 [SIGHS]
00:27:17 You might want to keep it brief.
00:27:19 I've just given him some tramadol.
00:27:21 Yeah.
00:27:22 [CLEARS THROAT]
00:27:24 Uh, Finn, I'm really sorry to have to tell you,
00:27:28 but your friend Chad is dead.
00:27:31 Yeah.
00:27:35 I know.
00:27:36 OK.
00:27:37 Well, let's just take it back.
00:27:41 Um, why did you leave the haunted house early?
00:27:46 I don't like dogs.
00:27:48 Sorry?
00:27:50 [SIGHS]
00:27:52 Cheers.
00:27:53 Lena went to the toilet, and me and Chad were alone.
00:27:57 [SCREAMING]
00:28:09 It's not funny, bro.
00:28:12 [SCREAMING]
00:28:14 [SCREAMS]
00:28:19 [PANTING]
00:28:21 [LAUGHS]
00:28:23 What do you think of my costume, hmm?
00:28:25 It's Teen Wolf.
00:28:27 You're such a prick.
00:28:29 Wait, so you don't like it?
00:28:33 You did good.
00:28:38 I thought I'd take his car, he could walk home.
00:28:41 Oi, give me the keys.
00:28:43 Oh, I'm not sure that's a good idea.
00:28:47 But I guess I was more pissed than I thought.
00:28:51 Next thing I knew, I woke up upside down.
00:28:56 I feel good now, though.
00:29:00 I take it you have a phobia of dogs?
00:29:03 I was seven.
00:29:07 I was protecting my little brother.
00:29:09 And Chad knew about that?
00:29:11 Yeah, he thought it was funny.
00:29:14 He liked to find people's buttons and push them.
00:29:17 So he had a lot of enemies?
00:29:19 Yeah, well, usually I was around to protect him.
00:29:22 Guess not this time.
00:29:26 [SNORTS]
00:29:30 Is that funny?
00:29:36 [SIGHS]
00:29:37 Are you single?
00:29:39 I still need a date for the formal.
00:29:41 I'm...
00:29:43 going to leave you to rest.
00:29:45 [CLEARS THROAT]
00:29:48 [PHONE RINGS]
00:29:52 Hey.
00:29:54 Any luck?
00:29:55 We've secured Kyle's caravan.
00:29:57 He's been living here under a different name for over a year.
00:30:01 But he's not there.
00:30:03 He's got some clothes and sleeping gear appear to be missing.
00:30:06 Looks like a child's been living here as well.
00:30:08 A sister, maybe?
00:30:10 Between six and nine, I'd say, based off her art skills.
00:30:14 Unbelievable.
00:30:15 What?
00:30:16 I think I know where they are.
00:30:18 Detectives, any luck?
00:30:24 The creepy child sound we heard earlier, could you play it again?
00:30:28 Sorry?
00:30:29 The girl singing? You said it was a sound effect?
00:30:31 Uh...
00:30:33 Let me find it.
00:30:34 You know what? We'll look outstops.
00:30:36 You stay here and watch them.
00:30:42 You take the upstairs.
00:30:44 It's not safe up there. I told you.
00:30:46 We'll take our chances.
00:30:47 Please!
00:30:48 Dad!
00:30:49 Detective.
00:31:00 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:31:02 Stella okay?
00:31:20 Uh, you're sisters in good hands.
00:31:27 What's that?
00:31:29 It's a report.
00:31:31 Can I draw on it?
00:31:33 Your parents are...?
00:31:48 Not in the picture.
00:31:49 Mum left about two years ago. Just kind of walked out.
00:31:52 And your father?
00:31:53 Nah.
00:31:56 I was always worried social services would take her away,
00:31:59 so I never really told anyone.
00:32:01 But I was basically raising her myself anyway already.
00:32:04 Here's the situation, Kyle.
00:32:08 We have a dead teenager, a classmate from your old school.
00:32:12 Evidence indicates that Chad was initially attacked
00:32:16 in a room known as the Hall of Terror, where he was wounded.
00:32:20 He then fled to the nearby forest, where the fatal blow was struck.
00:32:26 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:32:28 Stabbed through the neck with a sickle.
00:32:31 The Hall of Terror, where you are normally positioned,
00:32:36 as the undead Scarecrow.
00:32:38 The Scarecrow's weapon is a sickle, identical to the murder weapon.
00:32:44 The only prints we've managed to lift off the weapon are yours.
00:32:49 And on top of all of this, you and your little sister Stella
00:32:53 have been evading police for the past 24 hours.
00:32:57 So we're very interested in hearing what you have to say.
00:33:01 It wasn't me.
00:33:05 Care to elaborate?
00:33:09 Um...
00:33:12 What was your relationship with Chad, Phil?
00:33:19 I didn't really have one.
00:33:21 He hassled me a bit.
00:33:23 How come?
00:33:24 Cos I'm a bit weird.
00:33:26 It didn't make me special, though. He hassled everyone.
00:33:30 And then Chad got you removed from school.
00:33:33 Yeah, I didn't see him do it, but I think he did.
00:33:36 And how did that make you feel?
00:33:38 Like, I know what you're getting at.
00:33:41 Yeah, I was pretty pissed, but...
00:33:44 Can you talk us through what happened last night?
00:33:49 Um, everyone was real pumped.
00:33:51 (SCREAMING)
00:33:53 Attention, my dear screamers!
00:34:03 I want you all to have a safe and terrifying night.
00:34:07 And remember to reapply your blood capsules
00:34:10 and to scream from the diaphragm!
00:34:13 So let's have fun tonight.
00:34:15 And remember that the customer is always right!
00:34:20 My bit is the Hall of Terror.
00:34:43 I'm quite good at my job.
00:34:45 (MUMBLES)
00:34:48 Later on, I heard Lena and Chad arguing.
00:34:55 They're having a fight.
00:34:57 It's pretty intense.
00:34:58 Ow.
00:34:59 You're a real bastard, Chad Feldman.
00:35:02 You scourged me, you psycho.
00:35:04 I wish I could be there when everyone sees you for who you really are.
00:35:09 It's going to be beautiful.
00:35:11 Mr Lacrosse champ.
00:35:13 Did Lena mention having chapped?
00:35:23 She did not.
00:35:25 And what's this about a lacrosse champ?
00:35:28 I don't know.
00:35:29 I just didn't want to come face to face with Chad after that.
00:35:32 I went out for some air.
00:35:40 And you didn't see Lena vaping when you went outside?
00:35:44 I didn't see anyone. I just heard...
00:35:46 (SCREAMS)
00:35:48 I had no real fear when I hear it.
00:35:53 You know, I'm talking real fear.
00:35:57 Like cuddling.
00:35:59 I went outside, looked around for a bit, and then...
00:36:03 Chad!
00:36:06 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
00:36:08 Oh, my God.
00:36:12 (SCREAMS)
00:36:16 Mr Milburn!
00:36:17 I knew what everybody would say about me, so I ran.
00:36:20 Anyway, that's all I saw, I swear.
00:36:22 So nobody can verify your whereabouts at the time Chad was attacked?
00:36:27 I know I look guilty, but, you know, without me, my sister's got nobody looking out for her.
00:36:33 I would never do anything to risk losing her.
00:36:37 You can both go back home, but you're not to leave the district without notifying us, got it?
00:36:45 Yep. Thank you.
00:36:46 Come on, Stella.
00:36:47 Thanks, Officer Chalmers.
00:36:49 Hmm.
00:36:56 That is an unpretty likeness.
00:37:00 I didn't consent to that.
00:37:02 Kyle Harris had a grudge against Chad.
00:37:05 His prints are on the murder weapon, and no-one can corroborate his story.
00:37:10 Well, there's another possibility.
00:37:13 Lena had some reason to hit Chad.
00:37:16 There's also no witnesses to her whereabouts when Chad was being attacked.
00:37:20 Hmm.
00:37:22 Let's see if we can get some more answers from her tomorrow morning.
00:37:31 [door opens]
00:37:33 Lena, get the bins out, please.
00:37:37 Roy, leave her alone. Her boyfriend's just been M-U-R-D-E-S--
00:37:42 Jesus, I can't spell. It's fine. I'll do it.
00:37:48 [distant rumbling]
00:37:52 Chad?
00:38:09 [screeching]
00:38:15 [screeching]
00:38:17 Morning, Trudy.
00:38:21 It's a bit early, isn't it, Mike?
00:38:24 Or is it late?
00:38:26 Are you after the hair of the dog?
00:38:28 I was actually, uh, just getting a coffee from Frodo.
00:38:32 Mike, I've been doing some digging, and I've found something of interest.
00:38:35 I don't remember asking you to do any digging, Frodo.
00:38:38 Well, I mean, to be fair, I didn't have to dig very hard.
00:38:42 Yep.
00:38:44 Had a bit of a weird interaction with your new boss at the pub last night.
00:38:47 That Wayne Felman fellow.
00:38:49 And what did she say?
00:38:51 I really think you should hear it from her.
00:38:54 Or you could just tell me.
00:38:56 It wouldn't be right.
00:38:58 I'm no narc.
00:39:02 That goes without saying.
00:39:03 I only mention it because Frodo's a sweetie.
00:39:06 And I'd hate to think his new boss was going to cost all those nice freaks their jobs.
00:39:11 He was hanging around the bar last night looking quite worse for wear.
00:39:15 I can blame him.
00:39:16 What, with his son and all?
00:39:18 Poor bloke.
00:39:19 Hey, we need--
00:39:20 Oi! We don't get handsy in here.
00:39:23 Better go or I'll snap your fingers like breadsticks.
00:39:26 She's all right.
00:39:27 She's, uh, one of my freak team at my scream house.
00:39:32 Yeah, well, right now, she's one of my bar team in my drinking house.
00:39:35 So show some respect.
00:39:39 I need to get my hands on 10 grand cash.
00:39:44 I suggest going to the bank and withdrawing it.
00:39:46 You're loaded, aren't you?
00:39:47 No, no, no. It's got to be cash.
00:39:50 No questions asked.
00:39:52 Why are you asking me?
00:39:54 You've got connections, right?
00:39:57 I think you're mistaking me for some sort of criminal.
00:40:00 I thought you were off the bloat.
00:40:02 Well, I don't know what you heard, but for the record, that was a misunderstanding.
00:40:08 What would Wayne Feldman suddenly need that much cash for?
00:40:12 Beats me.
00:40:14 You should talk to Frodo.
00:40:16 He's the one with loose lips.
00:40:18 Frodo.
00:40:25 Any idea why Wayne Feldman suddenly needs a large amount of cash?
00:40:30 Uh, did you ask Trudy?
00:40:32 Yeah, she thought I should speak to you.
00:40:34 Right, well, I think you should speak to...
00:40:37 Frodo.
00:40:38 Okay, okay.
00:40:39 No, don't know. Sorry.
00:40:46 But maybe it's to do with his crypto business?
00:40:50 As in cryptocurrency?
00:40:53 Yeah, Wayne was trying to get everyone at the House of Screams to give it a try.
00:40:56 I don't think John was too into the idea.
00:41:01 (GUN COCKS)
00:41:03 Anyway.
00:41:10 You don't happen to have one of those pamphlets, do you?
00:41:14 (KNOCK AT DOOR)
00:41:18 Hi. Hi. I'm Detective Kristen Sims. I'm here to speak with Lena.
00:41:29 Through here. Thanks.
00:41:31 Thanks.
00:41:34 Hey, Lena.
00:41:38 Your mother tells me that you're not feeling very well.
00:41:42 Uh...
00:41:45 Should we... put the knife down, you reckon?
00:41:49 Do you believe in ghosts?
00:41:55 Sorry?
00:41:57 Uh, nothing.
00:41:59 Mm. What do you want?
00:42:01 Uh, well, we just need to clear a few things up. I tell you what, though.
00:42:05 Let me just, uh, crack a window here real quick.
00:42:09 Uh, Lena, look, I...
00:42:17 I need you to be honest about what happened between you and Chad.
00:42:23 I was.
00:42:24 You were the witness who saw you two arguing.
00:42:28 I told you that.
00:42:30 But you didn't tell me that you hit him in the face.
00:42:34 And I can see a broken nail there.
00:42:38 (SIGHS)
00:42:41 What happened?
00:42:45 He dumped me.
00:42:50 Please, baby, let's just go.
00:42:52 All right. Just leave me alone, OK?
00:42:55 You're so clingy.
00:42:57 What's that on your neck?
00:42:59 What are you talking about?
00:43:02 Is that it?
00:43:04 That's a hickey.
00:43:05 Chad!
00:43:06 So?
00:43:07 So.
00:43:09 So you're cheating on me. Are you not even gonna deny it?
00:43:12 Oh, a hickey is hardly cheating.
00:43:13 Yes, it is.
00:43:15 I love you.
00:43:17 Hey, look, um...
00:43:20 Listen.
00:43:22 We've had a good run, OK?
00:43:24 But I'm... I'm going to Yale next year.
00:43:28 I need to free myself up to... to date some new tier of females.
00:43:32 And you understand, right?
00:43:34 Ow!
00:43:39 You're a real bastard, Chad Feldman.
00:43:42 You scratched me. You psycho...
00:43:46 I wish I could be there when everyone sees you for who you really are.
00:43:51 It's gonna be beautiful.
00:43:53 Mr Lacrosse champ.
00:43:57 Maybe I was too clingy.
00:44:10 Lena, you have to know that you don't deserve to be treated like that.
00:44:16 That is not love.
00:44:18 Thanks.
00:44:22 Um, so what's this lacrosse thing?
00:44:26 Oh, yeah, it's just one of those games they play in America.
00:44:30 Isn't it?
00:44:32 And I don't suppose you know who Chad cheated on you with?
00:44:40 Minnie Wiley, that little sick kink.
00:44:43 Sorry.
00:44:45 Two cops in one day. I feel like the belle of the ball.
00:44:55 I'm here to see your new hire.
00:44:58 Oi, Minnie!
00:45:00 You're not running a child labour record, are you?
00:45:03 She's 18. She's got more brains than half the drongos I hire.
00:45:07 You've got a visitor.
00:45:12 Hi.
00:45:14 I like your necklace.
00:45:16 I stole it. Are you gonna arrest me?
00:45:18 That depends on who you stole it from.
00:45:20 My sister.
00:45:22 Well, I think we can probably let that one slide for now.
00:45:26 Minnie, I need to talk to you about Chad Feldman.
00:45:30 Right. Super sad.
00:45:33 I don't really know him. I've only been here for a few months.
00:45:36 So you didn't have a relationship with him.
00:45:41 Because Lena Branston thinks you did.
00:45:44 Lena knows? Oh, God, she's actually gonna kill me.
00:45:48 She won't. I'll make sure of that.
00:45:51 So why don't you just tell me about you and Chad? When did that start?
00:45:54 Well, I hated moving here.
00:45:57 OK, listen up, everyone.
00:46:03 This is Minnie. Make her feel welcome.
00:46:05 So, Spock, just stay with that Minnie.
00:46:07 And it didn't seem like it was gonna be easy to make new friends.
00:46:11 Back home I was popular, but here I was just another weirdo.
00:46:15 But then Chad approached me.
00:46:17 He was confident and hot.
00:46:19 It was just nice to talk to someone that wasn't, like, a farmer's kid or something.
00:46:23 I could tell he was into me, and I was kinda into him.
00:46:26 But Lena scared the crap out of me.
00:46:29 Eventually I told him if he wanted to hook up, then he had to end things with her.
00:46:33 That's only fair, right?
00:46:35 And did he end things?
00:46:38 He said he had.
00:46:40 And I believed him like a fricking idiot.
00:46:46 Then he has the audacity to bring her to my work.
00:46:51 [distant sirens]
00:47:20 You're such a pig.
00:47:22 So you felt angry at Chad?
00:47:24 Yeah, but I was more afraid of Lena.
00:47:27 I don't want drama.
00:47:29 Minnie, I need to ask, did anyone else see you after that?
00:47:33 No one else came through.
00:47:35 It was a slow night.
00:47:37 Until we all went out to see the body.
00:47:40 And that must have been...
00:47:44 shocking.
00:47:46 I've seen dead bodies.
00:47:48 It is a shame though.
00:47:50 He was really hot.
00:47:52 But why would people invest in something that isn't real?
00:47:59 There's lots of reasons.
00:48:01 What's going on?
00:48:03 I'm trying to teach Mike about cryptocurrency.
00:48:06 Godspeed, pal.
00:48:08 You're welcome to try.
00:48:10 I know that there's a blockchain.
00:48:14 Exactly. And mining. And there are digital wallets.
00:48:17 I also know that if a guy mentions cryptocurrency in his dating profile,
00:48:21 it's an instant red flag.
00:48:23 Noted.
00:48:24 It's basically a pyramids game, isn't it?
00:48:26 Well, the one Wayne Feldman's running is,
00:48:28 he recruits investors, they recruit others,
00:48:30 all the money flows up to him.
00:48:32 And look who's one of his newest members.
00:48:36 (Suspenseful music)
00:48:39 (Dog barking)
00:48:55 (Suspenseful music)
00:48:58 (Glass shattering)
00:49:09 (Groaning)
00:49:11 (Panting)
00:49:13 (Suspenseful music)
00:49:17 (Dog barking)
00:49:19 (Suspenseful music)
00:49:22 (Suspenseful music)
00:49:33 He was. He was standing out there.
00:49:38 He pointed at me.
00:49:39 Well, you have been through a traumatic experience
00:49:42 and you are also on some painkillers.
00:49:45 It was Chad. I saw him.
00:49:48 Chad is dead.
00:49:50 Someone dressed as Chad.
00:49:52 He had a wolf mask.
00:49:54 I thought it was a ghost.
00:49:57 A ghost?
00:49:59 It's karma for the girl.
00:50:01 Finn, what are you talking about?
00:50:06 Hey, Lena mentioned seeing a ghost.
00:50:11 She seemed really shaken up by it.
00:50:14 Yeah, never did find Chad's wolf mask.
00:50:17 Looks like somebody has.
00:50:19 (Suspenseful music)
00:50:22 (Knocking)
00:50:27 Where's Kyle?
00:50:31 He's at home. He hasn't been charged with anything yet.
00:50:35 Then what do you want?
00:50:38 We're looking for a wolf mask. Belonged to Chad Feldman.
00:50:41 You haven't seen anything like that, have you?
00:50:44 I could check last property.
00:50:46 Follow me.
00:50:48 It's this way.
00:50:52 Is...
00:50:53 that your bag?
00:50:56 Um...
00:50:58 Don't.
00:51:00 (Suspenseful music)
00:51:04 I believe in you.
00:51:07 (Suspenseful music)
00:51:11 (Glass shattering)
00:51:13 Stop!
00:51:15 (Gunshot)
00:51:19 Very unsafe!
00:51:21 What?
00:51:26 (Grunts)
00:51:31 Like he said, don't.
00:51:37 Don't.
00:51:38 (Doorbell rings)
00:51:44 Mr. Milgrove, thanks for coming in.
00:51:51 Where is Ariel?
00:51:52 Ah, just clearing a few things up. Nothing to worry about.
00:51:55 I want to be in there with her.
00:51:57 I'm afraid that Ariel has asked that you not be present.
00:52:00 What?
00:52:01 Why am I here then?
00:52:03 Because I'd like a word, actually.
00:52:05 If that's all right.
00:52:07 Finn Clark claims that last night,
00:52:13 someone wearing this wolf costume
00:52:15 appeared at his window and threatened him.
00:52:18 An identical wolf costume was worn by Chad Feldman the night he died.
00:52:22 In fact, we believe that this is the very same mask.
00:52:26 We also have reason to believe that this same person
00:52:29 threatened Lena Branston the night before last.
00:52:32 Pretty harsh thing to do.
00:52:34 Pretending to be someone's dead best friend or...
00:52:37 dead boyfriend.
00:52:39 Unless this person was trying to invoke a confession from them.
00:52:43 Or maybe this person was the killer
00:52:46 scoping out their next victim.
00:52:48 No, it wasn't!
00:52:49 So it was you?
00:52:51 No.
00:52:55 Finn also said something about karma for a girl.
00:53:01 Do you know what he was talking about?
00:53:03 No.
00:53:04 It was my fault.
00:53:07 What was your fault?
00:53:09 I didn't think I would actually...
00:53:11 So I was trying to save the others!
00:53:14 But I think that is too late.
00:53:16 Save them from what?
00:53:17 Death.
00:53:22 It started a few years ago.
00:53:29 I was a bit of an outsider.
00:53:32 Didn't really have any friends.
00:53:35 Apart from Selene.
00:53:37 Oh my god!
00:53:42 Shame.
00:53:44 We did everything together.
00:53:47 And our favourite thing to do was practising witchcraft.
00:53:52 Just to be clear, by witchcraft you mean...
00:53:57 Spells.
00:53:58 Incantations. Earth magic.
00:54:00 Okay, yep, so that is what you mean.
00:54:02 You don't have to believe in it, that's your choice.
00:54:06 But it doesn't stop it from being real.
00:54:08 There was a party.
00:54:12 Chad brought alcohol.
00:54:14 He kept pushing Selene to drink.
00:54:17 Who's up for a night swim?
00:54:22 Yeah!
00:54:23 Woo! Let's go baby!
00:54:25 You coming Selene?
00:54:28 He knew she was drunk.
00:54:30 And that she couldn't swim.
00:54:32 You can't swim.
00:54:38 You a bit scared weirdo?
00:54:42 No.
00:54:43 Well come on then Selene!
00:54:45 Do you want mummy to walk you in?
00:54:47 At the time I was just gutted that my only friend was leaving me for the people who made my life hell.
00:54:52 That she just wanted to be accepted.
00:54:57 We all do don't we?
00:54:59 Where's Selene?
00:55:04 She's behind me.
00:55:06 She was behind me.
00:55:09 Selene!
00:55:10 Selene!
00:55:11 I can't see her.
00:55:12 She was right there I swear.
00:55:14 We were both useless at swimming.
00:55:19 If Kyle hadn't been there I would have drowned too if I'd swum out.
00:55:25 The worst part was Chad's dad.
00:55:29 He got his lawyers involved and threatened legal action if we ever tried to claim that what happened was anything more than a tragic accident.
00:55:38 But everyone knows who really killed my friend.
00:55:42 Ariel we have nobody that can confirm where you were when Chad was attacked.
00:55:47 You think that I killed him?
00:55:49 I'm not saying that.
00:55:50 No.
00:55:51 I'm not saying that.
00:55:52 No.
00:55:53 Because you're right.
00:55:55 I did kill him.
00:55:57 He came to my work.
00:56:00 The one place that was mine and he ruined it.
00:56:04 I lost control.
00:56:16 I just love you.
00:56:17 I just love you.
00:56:18 I just love you.
00:56:19 I just love you.
00:56:20 I just love you.
00:56:21 I just love you.
00:56:22 I just love you.
00:56:23 I just love you.
00:56:24 I just love you.
00:56:25 I just love you.
00:56:26 I cursed them.
00:56:28 You cursed them?
00:56:37 A discurse.
00:56:39 Yes.
00:56:41 As?
00:56:45 That it?
00:56:47 A death curse is no joke.
00:56:50 It is the worst possible spell that you can cast on someone.
00:56:53 And sure enough a few minutes later it is my fault.
00:57:00 I am a killer.
00:57:02 Okay but that still doesn't explain the stalking.
00:57:06 It does.
00:57:07 I was trying to reverse the spell.
00:57:09 I cursed all three of them.
00:57:12 It was just a matter of time.
00:57:14 I had to cast a counter spell.
00:57:17 Be easy, fragile, black, jaunty, sloth, beast, beasy, frail, zeal, craze, enflest.
00:57:21 Be easy, fragile, black, jaunty, sloth, beast, beasy, frail, zeal, craze, enflest.
00:57:25 Be easy, fragile, black, jaunty, sloth, beast.
00:57:27 Duh.
00:57:31 Well at least you scared them half to death.
00:57:36 I think they're still probably traumatised.
00:57:39 Good.
00:57:46 Ariel Milgrove seems to think she was indirectly responsible for Chad's death.
00:57:53 But it could be her way of deflecting guilt from the actual murder she committed.
00:57:57 She knows the layout of the building better than anyone.
00:57:59 And she certainly has motive for wanting to kill Chad.
00:58:03 He's made her life very painful over the years.
00:58:07 I had an interesting chat with her father about cryptocurrency.
00:58:12 Mm. Go you. You're nagging a bit.
00:58:15 I wouldn't go that far.
00:58:17 I found this crypto stuff really hard to wrap my head around at first.
00:58:21 But then my colleagues helped me realise that it was just the same game that people have been playing for years.
00:58:26 They make you invest a little, then a lot, and then everything.
00:58:32 Pretty soon you're cleaned out.
00:58:36 Life savings gone.
00:58:42 Wayne said it was a bulletproof investment opportunity.
00:58:47 That we could all live like kings, just like he did.
00:58:52 I'm not sure Wayne's lifestyle is all that it appears.
00:58:55 I never wanted it. I just wanted to help Ariel and the business.
00:59:00 But in the end you had to sell the business.
00:59:03 And Wayne swept in to buy it.
00:59:05 He said he was going to keep it as is.
00:59:08 That he would help to fix it up.
00:59:11 I'm guessing you didn't get that in writing.
00:59:14 Two weeks after taking ownership, he filed a planning application for a new golf course and members club.
00:59:24 I'm going to bet that he kept you in the dark about his plans.
00:59:28 And you found out from someone else.
00:59:32 My dad's bringing the bulldozers to Flatten's Sticky Place.
00:59:37 It's going to be beautiful to watch.
00:59:41 You little bastard.
00:59:43 That must have made you very angry.
00:59:45 I was livid with Wayne.
00:59:49 And that little skid mark.
00:59:51 He took so much pleasure in telling me.
00:59:54 I wanted to throw rock all the little right down in there.
00:59:58 But I didn't. I couldn't. I actually could never harm the boy.
01:00:03 Sure. It was just a reaction. Involuntary.
01:00:06 Just a reaction.
01:00:07 Maybe what happened next was involuntary too. Nothing planned. A reaction.
01:00:10 No. I didn't do anything.
01:00:13 Are you saying that...
01:00:15 Did you kill him John?
01:00:16 No I didn't.
01:00:18 I didn't kill him.
01:00:24 Was John blinded enough by rage to lash out?
01:00:28 I'm not sure he has it in him.
01:00:30 You don't think the unstable haunted house owner who's just lost everything is capable of murder?
01:00:34 No. I mean I literally don't think that John was capable of doing the deed.
01:00:39 It was something that Trudy said.
01:00:42 I can see why you hired that one.
01:00:44 She's a tough cook isn't she?
01:00:46 You want a girl like that in your bar?
01:00:48 Or your haunted house for that matter.
01:00:50 She's more suited to the job than others.
01:00:53 Meaning?
01:00:54 Her boss. What's his name? The weird one.
01:00:57 Beats me why I'd run a haunted house with this condition.
01:01:00 That condition being?
01:01:03 Another gin and tonic please Trina.
01:01:09 Sure thing Jack.
01:01:11 Miss John.
01:01:14 (Grunts)
01:01:17 Being a great aye was?
01:01:26 And then I was just thinking about that first day that we went to talk to him.
01:01:38 I don't think that John Milgrove can physically stand the sight of blood.
01:01:43 Then why's he running the house of screams?
01:01:47 Immersion therapy?
01:01:49 If he had a phobia of blood chances are that putting a sickle through the back of Chad's neck will cause him to flake out of the scene.
01:01:56 Unless he had his eyes closed. You know.
01:01:59 (Groans)
01:02:01 Get out.
01:02:04 (Phone rings)
01:02:07 (Phone rings)
01:02:09 Frodo.
01:02:11 Mike I just got offered a deal on a car that seems too good to be true.
01:02:15 I'm not sure that this is a matter for the police.
01:02:18 No I mean. Listen. I don't normally do this. You know like snitching and what not.
01:02:24 But he's supposed to be mega rich right? So why is he suddenly in a hurry to sell?
01:02:28 What are you talking about Frodo?
01:02:30 Wayne Feldman. He just tried to sell me his mean ass muscle car for ten grand cash.
01:02:36 The whole thing seemed real dodgy.
01:02:38 Hey chief. Extra hot latte. Three sugars pronto.
01:02:49 Oh Mr Feldman you're selling. For real?
01:02:52 Yeah but I'm only considering serious office. I've got no time for tyre kickers.
01:02:56 Oh I'm serious.
01:02:58 And it's gotta be cash. Up front.
01:03:00 Oh I've got cash.
01:03:04 In the end it wasn't enough cash. I was short about nine thousand eight hundred.
01:03:09 Anyway. I was giving it a look over and I found this.
01:03:16 [Music]
01:03:18 Yeah. Not bad.
01:03:43 What time do you call this?
01:03:45 It's a Feldman. DC charmers.
01:03:48 You charge that little bastard yet? The Harris kid.
01:03:52 We'd actually like a quick chat with you. Down at the station.
01:03:56 About what?
01:03:58 How are you holding up Wayne?
01:04:00 Well I see. My only son is dead. The kid who killed him is apparently roaming free.
01:04:08 I've barely slept in four days. When I finally do nod off for a few hours I get woken up,
01:04:14 dragged down here to be asked stupid questions. So yeah. Not great.
01:04:19 Are you having financial troubles at the moment Wayne?
01:04:22 What are you talking about?
01:04:24 We've had several reports this week of you going around asking for large sums of money.
01:04:29 What the hell does that have to do with finding my son's killer?
01:04:34 We have to explore all the angles. Which is why yesterday I asked DC charmers to keep eyes on you.
01:04:40 At 5.15pm you took a collection of items including a TV, an electric guitar and a set of golf clubs to a local porn shop.
01:05:02 I didn't realise that selling my own stuff was a crime. See I've got a funeral to pay for.
01:05:09 If you needed the cash why not just withdraw it?
01:05:11 I'm not especially liquid at the moment. My money's tied up in several new developments.
01:05:17 Such as the Pulse of Screams which you tricked John Milgrove into selling to you.
01:05:23 I didn't trick anyone. I offered, he accepted.
01:05:27 Only after you bled him dry with your crypto scam.
01:05:30 Sometimes investments don't work out.
01:05:33 I saved that crappy building and all the freaks.
01:05:38 All the while secretly planning to tear it down and build a golf course.
01:05:43 Shame you sold your clubs.
01:05:45 What am I actually being accused of here?
01:05:47 You're not being accused of anything Mr Feldman. We're worried for your safety.
01:05:52 We know you've been threatened.
01:05:56 This was found in your car.
01:05:58 You've got a coffee boy doing your dirty work now.
01:06:01 Well he does make excellent coffee and he's also an employee of the House of Screams.
01:06:06 Concerned that his future earnings might be under threat.
01:06:11 Someone has been extorting me for cash.
01:06:17 That we know.
01:06:20 [Music]
01:06:29 The question is why is someone extorting cash from an upstanding citizen such as yourself?
01:06:35 You're all very pleased with yourselves aren't you?
01:06:40 Well if you must know I was dating a woman.
01:06:45 We got cosy and I might have sent her a saucy pic or two at her request.
01:06:52 And suddenly she's blackmailing me.
01:06:55 Oh so that's it.
01:06:58 Yeah it's embarrassing but there you go.
01:07:01 Because I thought it was more to do with you defrauding the Yale University entrance exam so that you could get Chad accepted.
01:07:08 Excuse me?
01:07:09 Except I had quite a long night too.
01:07:12 Yeah that's a Chad Raymond Feldman talking to the administrators at Yale.
01:07:18 Ah yes thank you that's coming through right now. Thanks.
01:07:23 Turns out Chad was accepted under a lacrosse scholarship alongside a sizeable donation.
01:07:32 Which is remarkable because Brokenwood doesn't have any lacrosse teams.
01:07:38 He played out of town.
01:07:40 The application also states that Chad is half Chinese.
01:07:43 You haven't met his mother.
01:07:45 Of Bulgarian heritage I believe.
01:07:48 I may have fudged it a little.
01:07:52 This is a serious criminal offence Wayne.
01:07:55 Especially if a bribe is included.
01:07:58 I just wanted the best start for him in life.
01:08:03 Who wouldn't want that for their own son?
01:08:06 Right your precious son and this is how he repays you?
01:08:11 By extorting you.
01:08:13 It was him wasn't it?
01:08:15 He never owned up to it but yeah it was him.
01:08:19 This is what because I won't give you any more damn pocket money.
01:08:23 You're acting crazy old man.
01:08:25 This is for your education you little prick.
01:08:28 You haven't got such abysmal grades.
01:08:30 You think I give a crap about what uni I go to?
01:08:33 I'm never going to amount to anything.
01:08:36 Remember?
01:08:37 Your words.
01:08:39 But if you don't want to ruin your rep.
01:08:42 I'd pay up.
01:08:45 I knew he wasn't bluffing.
01:08:47 He'd burn it all to the ground just for fun.
01:08:50 So for a while we went through this ridiculous charade.
01:08:58 [Music]
01:09:01 I tried to find where it had been at all but...
01:09:13 I never found a cent.
01:09:26 And then I found this on the car the day after he...
01:09:30 Pardon me thought if I turned up last night he'd be there.
01:09:36 Look if you want to do some real police work.
01:09:42 Catch the sick puppies doing this.
01:09:46 Well actually we did.
01:09:51 [Music]
01:09:54 That entitled little tart.
01:10:06 She'd have bloody known.
01:10:08 I want to go in there.
01:10:09 I'll get her to talk.
01:10:11 That won't be necessary.
01:10:13 Lena has already admitted to everything.
01:10:16 It was never Chad's idea.
01:10:18 Sending the notes.
01:10:20 It was mine.
01:10:22 Chad was always complaining about his dad not giving him money.
01:10:25 Even though he was loaded.
01:10:26 Didn't seem fair.
01:10:28 So when he told me about his dad lying to get him into uni.
01:10:32 Just seemed too easy.
01:10:34 [Music]
01:10:39 [Music]
01:10:42 That's a lot of money for two young people.
01:11:05 She is old person.
01:11:08 What was your plan when Chad left the country?
01:11:11 Was he going to split the money with you?
01:11:13 Of course.
01:11:14 Doesn't seem like the Chad we know.
01:11:17 Well you didn't know him like I did.
01:11:19 And where is all this money now?
01:11:22 You'll never find it.
01:11:24 Now are you going to let me out?
01:11:26 It's the school formal tomorrow and I need to pick up my dress.
01:11:30 I'm afraid that depends on if Mr Feldman wants to press charges.
01:11:37 You're damn right I want to press charges.
01:11:40 There needs to be some justice around here.
01:11:43 Of course.
01:11:44 Pressing charges will probably mean that the whole business with the admissions fraud will need to come out.
01:11:50 But worth it.
01:11:52 For the pursuit of justice.
01:11:54 Surely.
01:11:56 Lena Branson felt betrayed by Chad for cheating on her then dumping her.
01:12:02 And presumably she wanted to keep the money they'd been extorting from his father.
01:12:09 Ariel Milgrove held Chad responsible for the death of her friend among other things.
01:12:15 We also know that she wished him harm because she placed an actual death curse on him.
01:12:20 It's not an actual death curse though is it?
01:12:22 Well you tell me because he's dead isn't he?
01:12:24 She also knows the House of Screams better than anyone.
01:12:28 Anyone except maybe John Milgrove who by his own admission wanted to strangle Chad after he gloated about John's business being torn down.
01:12:37 Except that John has a fear of blood supposedly.
01:12:41 Which he could have been planting the seeds for.
01:12:43 It's a very public place to faint though Croc and Panther.
01:12:46 Yeah but voluntarily putting your face on those carpets there is no amount of money on earth.
01:12:51 Chad seemed to enjoy torturing Finn his supposed best friend.
01:12:56 Except Finn was upside down in a ditch after leaving the House of Screams drunk.
01:13:01 And Finn's absence meant that Chad didn't have his usual muscle to protect him.
01:13:07 Chad was supposedly cheating on Lena with Minnie Wiley who by her own admission can't verify where she was.
01:13:15 But why would she kill the boy she had a crush on?
01:13:18 Well you've clearly never been a teenage girl.
01:13:20 But Minnie is new to Brokenwood and she barely even knew Chad.
01:13:24 Everyone else had a deep animosity towards him.
01:13:29 Even blackmailing his own father.
01:13:32 Which leaves Kyle.
01:13:36 It was his weapon, it was his area of the building and he had plenty of motive to harm Chad.
01:13:42 Yeah but would Kyle really risk losing his own sister just to settle a grudge?
01:13:46 What are you both doing tonight?
01:13:51 Something unexpected?
01:13:54 Brokenwood High has their school formal tonight.
01:13:57 Everyone's going apparently and I thought given everything that's happened it'd be good to have a police presence there.
01:14:03 I cannot think of anything worse.
01:14:05 Hello, hello.
01:14:07 Ah Gina.
01:14:08 Oh you are working. I'm not here.
01:14:10 Christine may I have the key? I finished early and I want to get unpacking.
01:14:15 Sure.
01:14:17 Do you mind if I pin up my pendant collection of Baltic Beach resorts? It stops me feeling homesick.
01:14:23 Of course, yeah. You must.
01:14:26 Gina is moving in with me for a bit.
01:14:29 Oh that's nice.
01:14:31 Isn't it? Christine we should have a house heating tonight.
01:14:35 What? Mike? Daniel? You should join.
01:14:39 House warming?
01:14:41 Yes.
01:14:43 I'm afraid we're all working tonight.
01:14:46 Yes we are, sadly.
01:14:48 We've got a school dance to go to.
01:14:51 Not to worry. Yes I'll be staying for some time. Thank you again for the kind offer.
01:14:58 No worries.
01:15:01 Kind offer?
01:15:02 It was really less of an offer and more of an ambush.
01:15:05 Christine!
01:15:06 Oh my god!
01:15:07 You didn't let me knock.
01:15:09 Um, I didn't know you were there.
01:15:12 That is because I was behind the door.
01:15:14 I am aware of that now.
01:15:15 Your spare room. I know someone who might want to rent it.
01:15:19 Uh, well I'm actually happy alone.
01:15:22 Nobody's happy alone. Alone is death.
01:15:25 Uh, well I don't want a stranger.
01:15:29 They are not a stranger.
01:15:31 Okay, who are they?
01:15:34 They are me. I'm having some work done on my house and I could use somewhere to crash.
01:15:39 In Russia I would happily sleep in a mortuary, but here there are all these walls.
01:15:46 Um, yeah. A couple of days should be fine.
01:15:52 I genuinely have no idea how long she's staying.
01:15:57 Hmm, you might have to move out.
01:15:59 And you know what they say, position is nine-tenths of the law.
01:16:07 (MUSIC)
01:16:09 Well I clearly did something bad in a past life to deserve this shift.
01:16:22 You know it could be worse. It could be assigned to a...
01:16:25 No, you were right. That's bad.
01:16:27 Yeah.
01:16:29 (TIRES SCREECH)
01:16:31 You! You killed him!
01:16:42 What are you doing here, you psycho?
01:16:44 You killed my boy!
01:16:45 Okay, not appropriate, Mr. Feldman.
01:16:47 Poisoned him and you turned him against me!
01:16:50 He hated you just fine without me.
01:16:52 Let's take this somewhere else, Wayne.
01:16:54 You gave him everything.
01:16:56 I even wrote those lies to get him into Yale.
01:16:59 It was never enough.
01:17:01 Yeah, probably shouldn't have said that.
01:17:03 Hey, Lena, why don't you go inside with your friends, okay? Have a good night.
01:17:06 That was hilarious.
01:17:10 (MACHINE WHIRRING)
01:17:18 (MUSIC)
01:17:20 Ugh. The smell of dry ice in Lynx, Africa is incredibly triggering.
01:17:37 It reminds me of spewing on my dress in a bush.
01:17:40 I borrowed my dad's pants for my formal. They were way too tight.
01:17:44 Next thing, I was on the dance floor busting some MJ.
01:17:47 No, no.
01:17:49 Mm. Split right up the bum.
01:17:51 Oh, that has made my night. Thank you for sharing.
01:17:55 Oh. Are you guys gonna come in and dance or what?
01:17:59 Unlikely.
01:18:01 Are you all right, Lena?
01:18:03 I just want you to know that I didn't keep the money.
01:18:06 I gave it away.
01:18:08 Who did you give it to?
01:18:11 (LAUGHS)
01:18:15 I'm gonna go and find the toilets for grown-ups.
01:18:18 (WATER RUNNING)
01:18:44 (WATER RUNNING)
01:18:46 Hello, Minnie.
01:18:54 I think that you and I should have a little chat down at the station.
01:18:57 Oh. No, thanks.
01:18:59 Actually, it wasn't a question.
01:19:01 Well, you're welcome to drag me out of here in front of everybody.
01:19:06 (GENTLE MUSIC)
01:19:10 (FOOTSTEPS)
01:19:12 Sorry for keeping you waiting.
01:19:15 (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
01:19:17 This is a photo of the high school chess team from two years ago.
01:19:22 I found it in the hall.
01:19:25 Sectors — Finn, Kyle, Ariel.
01:19:28 The whole gang, but before your time, obviously.
01:19:30 So, do you recognise this girl sitting next to Ariel?
01:19:35 Her name is Celine Holt.
01:19:38 She died in a swimming accident.
01:19:41 Are you sure you don't recognise her?
01:19:44 Because she is your sister, isn't she?
01:19:49 I recognise this necklace. It's very pretty.
01:19:56 It's also very similar to the one that you were wearing at the Croc and Panther —
01:19:59 the one that you said that you stole from your sister.
01:20:02 I don't have a sister.
01:20:04 Yes, you do. We checked.
01:20:06 Celine is your half-sister.
01:20:08 She lived here with her mum.
01:20:10 After she died, her father — your father — moved to Brokenwood.
01:20:15 You lived together as children.
01:20:18 It must have been really hard when your mum and dad split.
01:20:21 Were you two close?
01:20:23 This is a therapy session now.
01:20:25 You and Celine have different last names.
01:20:27 You don't look that similar. It would be easy for people to miss the connection.
01:20:30 A fresh start.
01:20:32 Or a chance to find out what actually happened that night.
01:20:36 Who to blame.
01:20:37 You would have also learned that Chad was going to face no consequences for his actions.
01:20:41 His dad made sure of that.
01:20:43 There was going to be no justice for your sister's death.
01:20:48 Unless you sought that justice.
01:20:51 We had a falling out.
01:20:59 Celine and I.
01:21:02 I didn't speak to her for ages.
01:21:08 The last time we spoke, I was on the phone and I told her I was glad that she didn't live with us anymore.
01:21:14 Can you imagine?
01:21:16 I wanted to hear it from Chad.
01:21:25 I wanted him to tell me that he did it.
01:21:28 So I pretended to like him.
01:21:31 Which came with its own problems.
01:21:34 And all of a sudden I was out of time.
01:21:37 He was going to leave the country.
01:21:39 He was going to get away with it.
01:21:41 Until he turned up at your work.
01:21:44 It was my last chance.
01:21:47 You're such a pig.
01:21:50 Later, I heard them arguing.
01:21:57 So I followed him.
01:22:00 But I didn't have a plan or anything.
01:22:09 I just wanted to give them a fight.
01:22:12 They're you, babe.
01:22:18 Hey, me and Lena are Dunskies.
01:22:21 So we're all good, yeah?
01:22:25 The more I thought about how he got away with it, the more angry I got.
01:22:30 Admit it.
01:22:34 Admit what?
01:22:36 Admit you killed my sister.
01:22:39 What are you talking about? Who's your sister?
01:22:42 Selene Holt.
01:22:44 Admit it.
01:22:45 Selene Holt?
01:22:47 It's not my fault she was a crap swimmer.
01:22:51 Piss off.
01:22:55 Well, that's a bit pathetic.
01:22:58 I just lashed out.
01:23:00 But it wasn't enough.
01:23:14 I couldn't stop myself.
01:23:19 I couldn't stop myself.
01:23:22 You're so dead.
01:23:45 Okay.
01:23:47 Okay.
01:23:51 Ah!
01:23:54 And that's it.
01:24:04 I'd say I'm remorseful, but that'd be another lie.
01:24:08 Is that all that happened?
01:24:10 I killed him.
01:24:12 Not Kyle, not Lena, me.
01:24:16 What more do you want to know?
01:24:19 Actually, let's take her via the hall.
01:24:33 Less chance of her escaping.
01:24:35 Is that really necessary? Everyone will see.
01:24:38 It is.
01:24:40 N. Chalmers. Biscuit, your cuffs.
01:24:44 [Music]
01:25:10 So what was all that about?
01:25:13 Can I speak to you guys?
01:25:34 I, um, I had a huge crush on Celine since forever.
01:25:40 Ooh.
01:25:42 Oh.
01:25:47 Ooh.
01:25:49 Oi, nah, stop that.
01:25:50 But it was, like, not meant to be.
01:25:52 Uh, what's wrong with you?
01:25:55 I made the mistake of telling Chad.
01:26:03 Celine.
01:26:05 That's bloody stupid.
01:26:07 Come here.
01:26:09 Hey, what do you reckon, Celine?
01:26:11 Does Finn have cauliflower ears?
01:26:13 What's that?
01:26:14 Oh, like, um, like messed up ears from banging heads with other guys sometimes.
01:26:19 I think he has nice ears.
01:26:21 Oh.
01:26:22 Shame there's not really much between them.
01:26:24 Too many concussions, eh, bro?
01:26:26 Yeah, bro.
01:26:28 Who's up for a night swim?
01:26:31 Yeah.
01:26:32 Yeah?
01:26:33 Woo!
01:26:34 Let's go, baby.
01:26:35 Let's go.
01:26:36 Come on, Celine.
01:26:37 Let's go.
01:26:38 Gotta get into wind.
01:26:41 Woo-hoo!
01:26:43 Where's Celine?
01:26:50 She's behind me.
01:26:52 She was behind me.
01:26:56 Celine!
01:26:57 Celine!
01:26:58 I can't see her.
01:26:59 She was right there, I swear.
01:27:01 Celine!
01:27:03 I always thought Chad was rotten.
01:27:06 But after that night, I hated him.
01:27:09 She was just trying to fit in.
01:27:12 I see that now.
01:27:14 I didn't have the guts to do anything.
01:27:18 I felt so horrible about it.
01:27:24 But I couldn't see him to get away.
01:27:26 He liked keeping me around to protect him and to mess with.
01:27:32 What do you think of my costume?
01:27:34 Hm?
01:27:35 It's Teen Wolf.
01:27:36 You're such a prick.
01:27:38 Like that night.
01:27:39 Wait, so you don't like it?
01:27:41 Oi, give me the keys.
01:27:43 I'm sorry.
01:27:49 I'm sorry.
01:27:50 I'm sorry.
01:27:51 I'm sorry.
01:27:52 Only I didn't get far.
01:27:56 And then I decided to return the car to Chad.
01:28:01 He was gonna be so pissed.
01:28:03 In that moment, I hated how weak he'd made me.
01:28:06 I was his little dog.
01:28:08 I did chase Chad into the woods.
01:28:13 And I did try to stab him.
01:28:15 I just missed.
01:28:19 [screams]
01:28:20 You're so dead.
01:28:31 I didn't think...
01:28:35 [screams]
01:28:36 I ran back to the car.
01:28:51 I didn't even feel drunk anymore.
01:28:53 But I guess I was, 'cause I panicked and misjudged a turn.
01:29:02 Yeah, I woke up in hospital.
01:29:04 The crash provided a pretty good alibi.
01:29:10 Hey, do you think Minnie will get off?
01:29:15 I mean, she didn't actually do it.
01:29:17 But she did try to kill someone.
01:29:19 Can you tell her I'm sorry?
01:29:23 Sorry I didn't stand up to Chad earlier.
01:29:27 And that I'm sorry about her sister.
01:29:32 I'll tell her.
01:29:34 What's that?
01:29:47 I don't know.
01:29:49 Oh my God.
01:29:55 We're rich!
01:29:56 [music]
01:29:58 Take a treat!
01:30:10 No, no, no, no, Dina, don't. Don't do it.
01:30:13 Hello, nice little girl.
01:30:17 I demand you do a treat.
