00:00Children bring weird stuff to school. It happens. But this…
00:26Can I see it?
00:27Okay.
00:33This is one of my father's old work photos.
00:41They solved that in one day.
00:44Yeah, they're very close.
00:46Look, I'm sure all Alice wanted to do was show off her grandad's handiwork.
00:51So lovely, she has that connection with him. But we do have to consider the impact on the other children.
00:56Well, it's just a photo.
00:57It's two people missing their heads.
00:59They didn't lose them, Miss Julia. They've been decapitated.
01:04Sorry, last month a student left a pile of human waste on the gym floor.
01:10But the culprit was never publicly identified.
01:12For very good reason.
01:14But you've just singled my daughter out.
01:16You've held her back while everyone else goes home over a photograph.
01:24There will need to be an apology.
01:27Thanks, Julia.
01:29Mum, they watch Wake Warrior stuff in video games.
01:32Heads exploding, dead bodies flying through the air.
01:35This isn't just dead bodies, Alice. This is two people having the worst day of their lives.
01:39And listen, that could be the family of someone at your school.
01:50Hey, I was just doing the school run. What's up?
02:00Yeah, okay, talk to locals. I'll meet you there.
02:06Hey, Dad, can you give me a call when you get this?
02:10I need you to pick up Alice.
02:33Are we in a crime scene?
02:36Can I please come, please?
02:38Just kidding, kid.
02:48Grandad's on his way. Get him to bring me these.
02:53Good luck, Mum.
03:07Hey! Wolf!
03:37Boss.
03:58Detective?
03:59Call came in just after 3.30.
04:01Sonja Matthews, 35, two gunshot wounds, one in the left shoulder, one in the back of the head.
04:04Lives here with husband, Mike Simpson.
04:06Where's he now?
04:07At work. He's been informed by the local unit. I've asked them to hold him there.
04:10It looks like she pulled in the driveway, grabbed a grocery...
04:12Can you just hang on a sec?
04:14Sorry, my bad.
04:32The wound in her head has a burn mark around it and the hair's singed.
04:37She's been executed.
04:40But here, in her...
04:44How does that make sense?
04:48Who called it in?
04:50Stepson. Connor. Eight years old. Ran across to the neighbours.
04:53Eight?
04:55Shit, Jared.
04:57Yeah. He's in the marked car.
05:11Hey, Connor.
05:14Hi.
05:15I'm Holly. I'm a detective.
05:18I'm so sorry about what happened today.
05:21You did a really good job, though, going for help.
05:26Did you see what happened?
05:28Yes. A man knocked his son, yeah, and he shot her.
05:31She fell in the grass.
05:33Okay.
05:35Did you see the man's face?
05:38I couldn't. He had a mask on.
05:40He had a mask on?
05:42And was that just covering his mouth?
05:44No, his whole head was covered.
05:46His whole head? Was it like a ski mask?
05:48Yeah, that. And black gloves.
05:50Connor!
05:52Connor!
05:54Oh, my God.
05:58Are you okay?
06:00Mike and I have been divorced since Connor was a toddler.
06:04He left me for Sonya, actually.
06:07That must have been hard.
06:09Yeah, but she's been lovely with Connor.
06:11I couldn't have hoped for a better stepmum for him, really.
06:15You last spoke to her?
06:17I texted her this afternoon about picking him up.
06:21Okay.
06:22Was Mike ever violent towards you when you were married?
06:27No.
06:28What about towards Sonya?
06:30What did I know of? You don't think Mike did this, do you?
06:33We always start with next of kin so we can strike them off our list.
06:37Any recent stresses?
06:39Connor's been accepted into a better school right near us.
06:42We're reworking custody, but...
06:45Okay.
06:48Unfortunately, Connor has witnessed the incident,
06:51which means we may need to ask him some more questions,
06:54but it won't be today.
06:55Thank you, Detective.
06:56I don't want my son to think about this ever again.
06:59I understand, but just in case...
07:01Can we go?
07:02Sure.
07:03Connor.
07:04Jared.
07:05Come on, darling. Come on.
07:15Thanks for this, Dad.
07:17No worries.
07:18Thanks, Dad.
07:19Hey, don't you speak to the husband?
07:22Never crossed my mind.
07:23Right.
07:24Hey, listen.
07:25Did Alice tell you what happened at school today?
07:27What?
07:28The photo.
07:29Father Hamilton does.
07:31How'd she get it?
07:33I don't know.
07:35Well, she showed it to her classmates, Dad.
07:37It's not okay.
07:38Well, at least I didn't take my little girl to a murder scene.
07:41Oh.
07:42Thanks for the keys.
07:44Wally.
07:47So I found these things in the bottom of the car.
07:49They must have fallen out of Sonia's handbag,
07:51including our positive pregnancy test.
07:57Okay.
08:05The house is being examined by our forensic unit,
08:07so we'll organize a place for you to stay for a day or two.
08:10Where's my boy, Connor?
08:12He's fine. He's with his mother.
08:14Is there a problem with that?
08:17Can you talk us through your day?
08:19I, um, came here at 9.
08:22Mm-hmm.
08:23Had a meeting with a client.
08:25Then I, uh, went to a design seminar at the Wallace Center
08:29and left here around 12, 12.30.
08:33I got back around 4.
08:35How'd you get there and back?
08:37My car. I drove.
08:39What type of car do you drive?
08:41Black Audi A3.
08:43Mike, is there any reason why someone would want to hurt Sonia?
08:52No, of course not.
08:54She hasn't fallen out with anyone?
08:56No.
08:58I mean, has anything happened in the last couple of days
09:01that seems out of the ordinary?
09:07No.
09:09Uh, no.
09:11Unexpected news?
09:15No.
09:19OK.
09:20Look, once we get you settled, we'll have to do a blood draw.
09:23Take some prints.
09:25Just, it helps us eliminate you from the crime scene.
09:28That's fine. I'm happy to do it.
09:30OK.
09:33Uh, thank you for your time.
09:35And again, our condolences.
09:40Ah.
09:43Melbourne is reeling today
09:45following emerging news of a horrifying crime
09:48which has shattered the peaceful north-eastern suburbs.
09:51We cross live now to police headquarters for the latest update.
09:55At this stage, we can confirm that there was a shooting
09:59which resulted in one fatality.
10:02At 3.32 this afternoon, officers responded to a call
10:06and discovered a woman killed in broad daylight
10:09after picking up a child from school.
10:12It strikes at the very heart of our community
10:15and I share in the outrage of this callous, brazen act.
10:20I'll meet you upstairs.
10:22Hey, Mr Prosecutor.
10:24Hey.
10:25How'd the hearing go?
10:27Not great. It was just commiserating with armed rob.
10:30Sorry I couldn't get across to her.
10:32It's OK.
10:33I mean, Alice has to write a note, but I managed to smooth it over.
10:36I'm sure you did. I'll speak to Bear.
10:38No, I've dealt with him too.
10:40Heard about the shooting.
10:41Yeah.
10:42Hey, there's a shepherd's pie in the freezer.
10:44Can you pop it in the oven for Alice when you get home?
10:46I'm going for a drink with Dylan, I think I told you.
10:48No, you did tell me that.
10:50Here I was, just thinking you'd hung around to say hi to me.
10:53Yeah, I know.
10:54Stop harassing that poor woman, you ugly prick.
10:56Mate, the shine on that suit is making my eyes bleed.
10:59Look at that.
11:00Dylan.
11:01Looks like you're in for a big night too.
11:03Yeah, but hopefully I won't wake up in the morning regretting my existence.
11:07Oh, come on.
11:08I'll make sure Luke has a few waters along the way.
11:10It goes so well with scotch.
11:12Don't worry about it. I'll speak to Bear.
11:14No, I'm not worried. I'm just busy.
11:19Thanks.
11:26Phone tap on the husband should be up in the next ten minutes.
11:29Great.
11:30Okay, so Sonia was born in the UK.
11:32Came here on a backpacker visa in 2012.
11:34Employed at Bistro Lil.
11:36Got her social media account.
11:38She married Mike five years ago.
11:40Big wedding in queue.
11:42Her parents flew out. It was lovely.
11:44Okay, any criminal history?
11:46Nope, she's clean as they come.
11:47What about the ex-wife?
11:49Did some preliminaries on her.
11:51Bianca Whitehall, no arrests, no criminal record.
11:53Okay, keep her in the mix.
11:55There's some tension around custody.
11:57And can you check out the new husband?
11:59Clinton Whitehall.
12:00He's a criminal barrister.
12:02Just finished the Longwari trial.
12:03That was the shooting at the bikey clubhouse.
12:05Yeah, he managed to get his client off,
12:06even though the gun was found in the guy's storage unit.
12:08Well, put him on the list too.
12:10Guys.
12:11Inspector.
12:12This is Gabe.
12:13Topped his class in tech.
12:15He's here to help.
12:16Great. I'm Holly.
12:18Gabriel King.
12:20Jared Pines.
12:21What happened to the foot?
12:23Training accident.
12:24Just tell me it's not a gunshot wound, mate.
12:26No, it's nearly better.
12:28I'm Maya.
12:29We have CCTV coming through now.
12:31Great.
12:32I can take a look at that.
12:33Okay, over here.
12:34We got it from the house opposite Sonia's.
12:37Is he permanent?
12:38Well, it's up to you, really.
12:40He's been in uniform about seven years.
12:42Graduated detective training six weeks ago.
12:44Green.
12:45And talented.
12:47I think with the right guidance,
12:48he might make a good addition.
12:50We all need someone to give us a break, right?
12:52Mm-hmm.
12:54So, how's it looking?
12:56Well, my eyewitness is an eight-year-old.
12:59Yeah.
13:00You've dealt with worse.
13:01Yeah, but he's been through enough.
13:02He doesn't need me poking at his wounds.
13:04Well, just make sure that you don't have to.
13:07Okay?
13:08Mm-hmm.
13:18I've left a message with the Wallace Center
13:20waiting on callbacks to check Mike's alibi.
13:22Okay, good.
13:23Go for it.
13:26Ahem.
13:30Sonia arriving home.
13:37Black car goes past.
13:49First shot.
13:53Second.
13:55Three misses.
13:56Wow.
13:59Oh, no.
14:09Um, no more movement for about two minutes.
14:15Then...
14:17this.
14:25Oh.
14:41God.
14:42I hate anything to do with kids.
14:44It's so cringey.
14:45It's not really about you right now, Jared.
14:47Um, can you take me back to the shooter?
14:51Could that be the husband?
14:53Similar size.
14:55What kind of car went through Frank?
14:57Mercedes.
14:58Put out an alert.
14:59Mm. Mike drives an Audi.
15:02It's just so strange that he didn't mention
15:04Sonia's pregnancy at all.
15:06Maybe she hadn't got around to telling him.
15:08Maybe she knew what he'd do.
15:11Okay, so, um...
15:13let's just prioritize those three lines.
15:15Mike is the shooter.
15:16Mike has hired someone to kill her.
15:19Or it's a commissioned hit by an outside party.
15:23Maya, can you look for a money trail?
15:25If Mike did organize it, then he had to buy a gun or...
15:29pay that fool to do it for him.
15:32Back in a minute.
15:53Shit.
16:11Shit.
16:19Aren't you scared to walk out the door?
16:21How can anyone feel safe?
16:22When there's a mad man like you somewhere?
16:24That's got to be our number one priority.
16:26There's growing outrage in Melbourne
16:28after the parents of murdered Greensboro woman Sonia Matthews
16:31shared a heartbreaking last message from their beloved daughter.
16:35Happy birthday, Mum.
16:37Me and the family miss you so much.
16:39I wish I was there to give you a big hug.
16:41I promise I'll be there with you for Christmas.
16:45Mm-hm.
16:52Beep, beep, beep.
17:23Ooh, grumpy text between Sonia and Bianca
17:25three hours before the shooting.
17:27Yeah?
17:28Bianca, picking up at 3.30.
17:30Sonia, 6pm is agreed, Mike wants to see him after work.
17:33Bianca, 3pm, don't dick me around.
17:35Hmm, Bianca made it sound like they were friends.
17:38Or, you know, friendly anyway.
17:39Hey, Holly, uniforms found a Mercedes,
17:43same make and model as the one in the footage
17:45and it was stolen just before the hit.
17:47Abandoned in a paddock near Thomastown.
17:50OK.
17:51It's been torched.
17:52Nothing left in it to ID a shooter,
17:54no DNA profile, no fingerprints.
17:57Because that would be way too easy.
17:59OK.
18:00Hey, how's the money trail going?
18:02Few gaps in his spending.
18:03We can't account for nothing to cover a hit,
18:06but I doubt that would be in his day-to-day banking accounts anyway.
18:09But he might have other ways of moving money.
18:11Yeah, we need to access his hardware.
18:13The Wallace Centre doesn't have a record
18:15of Mike attending the design seminar,
18:17but they also said it wasn't obligatory to sign the register.
18:20They did mention he was booked in with a colleague, Dallas Lang.
18:23She didn't sign in either.
18:25Check the company website.
18:26OK, you two look into her.
18:28I'm going to take Gabe to Sonia's.
18:31Let's make sure we haven't missed anything.
18:34What do you think's going on with Holly?
18:36What do you mean?
18:37She's edgy, don't you reckon?
18:39Cos she told you to shut up.
18:42It was probably just the case.
18:44There he is, Mike Simpson, orthopaedic design engineer.
18:49Here's her profile.
18:51Interesting, she's an accountant.
18:53When did being an accountant become interesting?
18:56No, I mean, why would an accountant go to an orthopaedic design seminar?
19:00Hold on, bring up Sonia's photos.
19:03There was a picture of them at the bar.
19:06There.
19:09I've always loved design of any kind.
19:13Even orthopaedic?
19:15Mm-hm.
19:17Dallas, I spoke with the Wallace Centre
19:19and they have no record of your attendance.
19:25OK, look, don't waste our time, please.
19:29We didn't go to the seminar.
19:32We played tennis.
19:34We didn't go to the seminar.
19:37We played tennis.
19:40What time did you get back to work?
19:42Uh, we took separate cars, maybe 2.30, 3.
19:46And Mike?
19:484-ish.
19:50Why did it take Mike so much longer to get back to work?
19:54He said he stopped for a shower.
19:57You good with that?
20:05Hey there.
20:06Hi.
20:07Did you know him?
20:08Uh, the kids played out in the street, said hi occasionally.
20:11But, um, no, not really.
20:13OK.
20:14Let's go.
20:19Hey, Rose.
20:20Oh.
20:21Hey.
20:22How are you?
20:23Hey, Rose.
20:24Oh.
20:25Hey.
20:26Uh, pathology results are through.
20:28Oh, yeah?
20:29Sonya was eight weeks pregnant and, um,
20:31confirms it was the husband.
20:33OK.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Um, so we are pretty much done here,
20:37so do you want me to lock up or...?
20:39No, I'll take care of it. It's fine. Thank you.
20:41Oh, sorry.
20:42Cool.
20:53OK.
21:23OK.
21:47You take a girl to the nicest places.
21:50How's the underworld treating it, Keith?
21:52You know, same shit, different bucket.
21:54Right out doing Dylan's dirty work.
21:56What can I do you for?
21:57That shooting in Greensboro?
21:59There's a chance it could be an organised hit,
22:01so this is the husband.
22:03Oh, yeah?
22:04Can you ask around and see if anyone might have done a job yesterday?
22:07Has he got that kind of cash?
22:09Can't get anyone decent for under 100 grand.
22:11Yeah, well, decent might be a generous description of our shooter.
22:15How much does a nine mil cost these days?
22:18Clean one.
22:1920 grand, give or take.
22:20Can I maybe ask about that too?
22:22Sure.
22:24So, got any cash in the budget for me on this one?
22:28I might have, like, 20 bucks in my purse.
22:32We'll take it.
22:33Get stuffed.
22:34You've put on Dylan's account.
22:36Oh, yeah.
22:37Hey, you're looking good, Holz.
22:39You look like you haven't slept in a week.
22:42Yeah, that's the look I'm going for.
22:45See ya.
22:48What have you got, Gabe?
22:50OK, so, in June of 2015, Mike opened a national bank account
22:55and the sum of $10,000 was deposited,
22:58but it was instantly transferred out to a HSBC account in Hong Kong.
23:03He's sending money offshore?
23:05Just once.
23:06No other activity on the account?
23:08Literally one transaction.
23:1010 grand in and out.
23:12But here is where it starts to get dodgy.
23:15I found this USB in Mike's home office drawer.
23:19Ah, it's a Bitcoin wallet.
23:21OK, so how much is in there?
23:23Um, well, there's no way to know. It's password protected.
23:26But it is dated July of 2015,
23:29so even after crypto shat itself,
23:3310 Gs in Bitcoin in 2015?
23:36It's worth around 200 grand now.
23:39That'd pay for a hitman.
23:41Or a gun.
23:43I just can't get that picture of Sonia out of my head.
23:45Sonia Matthews' murder has certainly stirred up a lot of emotions.
23:48I want to know if it could happen to me or not.
23:50I mean...
23:55You've already started. I'm really sorry.
23:57All good. Let's go home and chill.
24:02Mm. Is that your famous chicken?
24:05Yep. Special request.
24:09Oh.
24:11Where are you? Here you are.
24:14There's more. Is it yummy?
24:16Yeah. How's work?
24:18Yeah. Who's your prime suspect?
24:20Can I just... I'm going to have a bite of chicken first
24:22and then I'll tell you everything. OK.
24:24Mm.
24:26To be established,
24:28you need motive,
24:31means and...
24:33Opportunity. Opportunity.
24:36Yes, you need to work on getting a suspect to talk
24:39because nothing beats a good confession.
24:41Yeah. Don't push it, Alice.
24:43You still need to make an apology to 4B.
24:45But you fixed that with Miss Julia.
24:47You still have to do your part.
24:49Yeah.
24:51Actually, maybe Bear can help you with that.
24:53Yeah. Sure.
24:55Sure. Yeah.
24:57Not bad.
24:59Is it great?
25:01Very well.
25:03Ooh, what's this?
25:05Alice, can you sit down, please?
25:07Mum. Hands up. You're under arrest.
25:10Oh, you're dead.
25:13You never walk up to a suspect alone
25:16because someone is going to do exactly what I did
25:19and they won't be just a finger that's pointed at you.
25:21OK, enough, Dad.
25:23Enough.
25:27Tastes going that well, eh?
25:33I'm just going to have a quick shower.
25:35OK. I was just...
25:37It's OK.
25:49Um...
25:51Is everything OK?
25:53Oh, just sick of my dad's bullshit.
25:59Oh. How was last night?
26:01It was great. Yeah.
26:03Until Dylan started crying into his bourbon.
26:05About Sian?
26:07He says it's only been nine months since she died
26:09and everyone's already forgotten about her.
26:11That's not true. I think about her.
26:13I know.
26:17And it's her birthday in a couple of weeks.
26:19I mean, we could maybe organise something.
26:21A dinner.
26:23I don't know, a barbecue.
26:25Just so he's not alone, you know?
26:27That'd be nice.
26:29That'd be nice.
26:33Is there anything else?
26:39No.
26:41No, I'm fine. I just...
26:47This woman has just been chased around like a dog
26:49and executed in front of a little kid.
26:51It's just a bit...
26:54Why don't I clean up the kitchen,
26:57put Alice to bed, then we can...
26:59OK.
27:23OK.
27:39Hey. Hey, Dylan.
27:41One of my UCs failed to make his weekly catch-up yesterday.
27:43Old mate of yours, Keith Bird.
27:45Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:47He's always had a bit of a soft spot for you, hasn't he,
27:49finds the time?
27:51Yeah.
27:53Have you heard from him recently?
27:55Um, no.
27:57Last I heard, he was deep in with the bikies.
27:59He's working for you, isn't he?
28:01Yes. Yes.
28:03And being sent in the company of a detective
28:05could be very compromising for him,
28:07for my case, for my entire game unit.
28:09But I'm sure he's OK.
28:11I mean, it's Keith. It's Keith.
28:13Well, if you hear from him...
28:15I'll be sure to warn him, Dylan.
28:17OK.
28:19He went out to the tennis court in Maidstone.
28:21Oh, yeah?
28:23Club CCTV picked up Mike and Dallas at about 12.15.
28:25OK, so his alibi stands.
28:27Yes and no. They were only there for about 20 minutes.
28:29She hit three aces, nearly took his head off with the last one.
28:31Left the court after barely warming up.
28:33Opens up a substantial gap in his timeline.
28:35Just bring her in.
28:39Where are we at?
28:41Custom. Uh, I would like to offer
28:43a reward, see if we can flush out
28:45any more leads. I can ask the commissioner.
28:47I have several lines of inquiry.
28:49First, the husband as the shooter,
28:51which would explain the gunman's
28:53inaccuracy, but where would
28:55a guy like him get a gun?
28:57He still needs someone with contacts to sell him one
28:59and hence my need for a reward.
29:01OK, I'll ask the commissioner.
29:03What else have you got?
29:05OK, the second line of inquiry
29:07is that her husband, Mike,
29:09hired a hitman.
29:11Now we've uncovered a stash of bitcoin
29:13which would allow him to do that.
29:15What if we could access the criminal world
29:17with a bit of cash? I take your point about
29:19the reward hole. And thirdly,
29:21his ex-wife and her husband,
29:23there's some issues
29:25with custody, and they do
29:27have contacts with the criminal world.
29:29How so? He's a criminal barrister.
29:31He just got the
29:33long worry shooter off. OK, so
29:35what if we get the gangster unit in?
29:37Dylan and his boys could help with
29:39the criminal barrister side of things.
29:41I don't think that would be necessary.
29:45But just let me and my team
29:47run with this for now. OK.
29:49Oh, you've got
29:51a live cross with the Channel 9 News tonight.
29:53Oh no, you can't do that? No, I did my bit.
29:55I made the formal statements. Your turn.
29:57Think of it as an opportunity hole.
29:59OK.
30:03Tell us about
30:05your relationship with Mike Simpson.
30:07We
30:09work together, play tennis occasionally.
30:11How long did you play the last time
30:13you two got together? We left work
30:15about 12, got back...
30:17We just need to know how long you were
30:19on the actual court.
30:21It was hot, so we
30:23took a break. After
30:2520 minutes?
30:27See, in your
30:29original statement, you said that you didn't
30:31get back to the office until 2.33?
30:33Help us
30:35understand where that time went.
30:37We
30:39did some other exercises.
30:41Do you mean sex?
30:43Don't shame me because I'm sex positive.
30:47You supplied a murder suspect
30:49with a false alibi.
30:51That's conspiracy, Dallas.
30:53That comes with a jail term.
30:57We had a hit and then
30:59Mike and I had
31:01sex in my car.
31:03Did he mention Sonia at all
31:05or did he tell you what was going on with her?
31:07Yeah.
31:09He sent me an email.
31:15He was pretty
31:17angry that she was pregnant.
31:19Detective.
31:21SIREN
31:23SIREN
31:25SIREN
31:27SIREN
31:29SIREN
31:31SIREN
31:33Connor!
31:35He's not coming out here, Mike.
31:37Come over here, Mike. Have a chat with us.
31:39You're in enough trouble, Mike. Don't make it worse.
31:41This is exactly what
31:43you wanted, isn't it? Yeah, well you will never see him
31:45again if you don't leave now. Bianca, just stop.
31:47I'm his dad. He's my son. I just want to see my boy.
31:49Mike, let's have a talk. Connor!
31:51Let's have a talk outside. Please, just stay away from my family.
31:53Connor!
31:55Connor!
31:57Get away from my son!
31:59Mike, don't leave!
32:01Mike, stop! Taser!
32:03Taser!
32:05Dad!
32:07Get him out of here now!
32:09SIREN
32:11SIREN
32:13SIREN
32:15SIREN
32:17Just breathe, Mike.
32:19Just breathe.
32:35Mike, this interview is being
32:37recorded. Is there anything that you
32:39say can be used as evidence
32:41in court? Do you understand?
32:43Yeah.
32:45I'd like to ask you some questions about the death
32:47of your wife. Is that okay?
32:49Yeah.
32:51Mike, can you describe
32:53your relationship with Dallas Lang?
32:55She's a friend.
32:57She, uh...
32:59We went to that seminar together.
33:01Dallas
33:03gave us quite a different account.
33:05She said that you had sex in her car.
33:07Would you agree
33:09with that statement?
33:11Okay. Yes.
33:13You opened a national
33:15bank account in June
33:172015. What was that for?
33:19Uh...
33:21When I was a kid,
33:23I used to mow
33:25lawns for this old lady down the street.
33:27Her name was Mrs. Cobb. You can go check it out.
33:31I got a call years later that she'd passed
33:33and she'd left me money
33:35in her will.
33:37It was $10,000, and I bought Bitcoin.
33:39What did you do with them?
33:41Nothing. I forgot about them
33:43until the price went through the roof.
33:45And I remembered
33:47that they gave me this long, bloody password.
33:49I'd lost it, and now I can't
33:51access them.
33:53I don't know.
33:55I reckon they'd be worth a lot of money.
33:57I don't know. Oh.
33:59$200,000.
34:01I mean, that'd make a nice little
34:03escape package for you in Dallas.
34:09Mike, why didn't you mention Sonia's
34:11pregnancy at all?
34:13I...
34:15I didn't... I didn't know.
34:27Can you read this aloud, Mike?
34:31I believe
34:33it's an email you sent to Dallas.
34:37Read it.
34:39I wouldn't kill her for this.
34:43Jeez.
34:49Hi, Dallas.
34:51Let's catch up for tennis, if you know what I mean.
34:53Skip ahead,
34:55and it says,
34:57Sonia's got herself pregnant
34:59after I told the stupid bitch
35:01it wasn't the right time.
35:03So you didn't want
35:05another child?
35:07I'm struggling to keep Connor as it is.
35:09Detective, I get
35:11that I'm a suspect.
35:13I'm the husband.
35:15But please believe me,
35:17I loved my wife.
35:19Then why don't you stop messing
35:21us around and tell us where you were between
35:232 and 4 p.m. on the day
35:25that Sonia was murdered?
35:27I...
35:29I was at...
35:33I was at
35:35my ex's place. I was at
35:37Bianca's. Why were you at Bianca's?
35:39Because she texted Sonia
35:41saying she was coming early
35:43to pick him up.
35:45Just like that, I wouldn't
35:47have got to see my son after work.
35:49And so?
35:51I went there, and I...
35:53I slashed her tires.
35:55Just so she
35:57couldn't drive.
36:07Is that possible?
36:09It are texts on Sonia's phone
36:11about pick-up time. And his ex
36:13did turn up at the scene in a taxi.
36:15What about the timing?
36:17Bianca's over the other side of town. It could explain
36:19the time missing in his original statement.
36:21This is a pity.
36:23And it will impact his custody of Connor.
36:25It's pathetic.
36:27So why
36:29admit it if it's not true?
36:33Go and check his alibi.
36:35Still doesn't
36:37rule out that he could have paid someone
36:39else to do the job for him.
36:41What an idiot.
36:43Me, not him. I mean, we're both
36:45idiots. I should have waited
36:47until I could link the gun to him, or at least
36:49found out where the money went first. There's good
36:51circumstantial evidence here, Holly. You're right to
36:53question him. But he's going to clam up now.
36:55I've completely blown it.
36:57What's going on here, Holly?
36:59You said no to Dylan's help,
37:01and I'm pretty sure you're working with an undercover
37:03when he should be involved in another case.
37:05And now what? You're kicking yourself because
37:07you've got a pregnant victim,
37:09a child's involved. What is it?
37:15Pull yourself together.
37:17I've got a life crossing tent.
37:19Come on, Kirsten. It's part of the job,
37:21Hol.
37:23Maybe it'll shake something loose.
37:39Ready to go? Yep.
37:41Three, two...
37:43I'm here at police headquarters with
37:45Detective Holly O'Rourke, who is overseeing
37:47the investigation.
37:49Detective, there's been an outpouring
37:51of grief and anger in response
37:53to this shooting. Can you
37:55tell us what the investigation
37:57looks like so far? Firstly, I'd
37:59like to say that I share
38:01everyone's pain and frustration
38:03at this unacceptable
38:05act of violence. Some people have
38:07said today that this is an attack
38:09on all of us. I understand their concern,
38:11but let's not forget Sonia Matthews
38:13in this. There's been reports the husband
38:15has been interviewed. Is he a suspect?
38:17I can't comment on that.
38:19But no charges have been laid?
38:21No. And do we know
38:23why she was targeted? Did she
38:25have links to criminal activity?
38:27Not that we're aware of, no.
38:29Did she have links to underground crime
38:31or gangland associations?
38:33Was she known to police prior
38:35to her death? Well, her murder, no.
38:37Not at all. Sonia Matthews was
38:39a loving
38:41stepmother. She was pregnant with her first child.
38:43She
38:45was pregnant.
38:47That is heartbreaking,
38:49detective. Yes,
38:51it is.
38:53Are you confirming that police have
38:55made no progress in identifying
38:57the killer of this pregnant
38:59woman?
39:01The more information we have from the public...
39:03She should be sharing that information about the baby.
39:05She's on staff support.
39:07Holly's making a mess of this.
39:09Thank you for your time, detective.
39:13We'll cross now back to the studio.
39:15Have a good day. Thanks.
39:35Sonia's
39:37mother just called from the UK.
39:39The pregnancy news has gone viral. She wants to know
39:41why we didn't tell her Sonia was pregnant.
39:45What did she say?
39:47She hung up before I could explain.
39:49She was really upset.
39:55Yeah, I shouldn't have
39:57let her find out like that. I
39:59will call her.
40:01Um,
40:03Mike's alibi? It stands up.
40:05There's CCTV of him near
40:07Bianca's house at the time of the murder.
40:09Okay, so he's not the shooter.
40:13Alright.
40:15Let's put aside why Sonia was killed
40:17and look at how.
40:19Look, I have an undercover who's doing some work
40:21on the gun, so I'll follow up with him.
40:23Okay. And let's just widen
40:25our focus to anyone who's
40:27dealing in illegal weapons. I can check
40:29with Dylan for hitmen new to the job
40:31or a bit slapdash. Yeah, good.
40:33Sonia might not have had criminal links,
40:35but whoever executed her might have.
40:37Garrett is right. Maybe there is a gangland link.
40:39Gangland, underworld, organized crime,
40:41whatever they want to call it. But there's a lot
40:43of pressure from the press now and
40:45public outrage. They will be shitting themselves.
40:47So, they're going to try and distance themselves
40:49from this. We have to make sure we
40:51get to them before they evaporate.
40:53Thanks.
41:07Alright.
41:37Hello.
41:39Hey.
41:43Interesting TV interview.
41:45Yeah.
41:47I don't really want to talk about work
41:49right now, Dad.
41:51Yeah, that's what usually happens when you don't have
41:53the evidence.
41:55Why do you always do that?
41:57Do what?
41:59You treat me like
42:01I don't know how to do my job.
42:03No, I don't.
42:05I'm proud of you.
42:07Okay, so you don't even know you're doing it,
42:09which is obviously worse.
42:17I know what it's like to feel
42:19you've failed a murder victim.
42:25And that's not a nice place to be.
42:35Dad?
42:41I'm sorry.
42:43Dad, are you okay?
42:47Dad?
42:49Just give me a call if you want me to pick Alison.
43:05Okay.
43:07Okay.
43:33I love you.
43:37I love you.
44:01Hi.
44:03Yeah.
44:05Hey, listen,
44:07I need to talk to you.
44:09Uh,
44:11well...
44:15I'm pregnant.
44:17Yeah.
44:19I know.
44:23Yeah, it's a shock.
44:27I've got to go,
44:29but I will call you tomorrow.
44:31Bye.
44:35Hey.
44:37Hey.
44:41You okay?
44:43Huge day.
44:45Hammered.
44:47Do you want some wine?
44:49Shit, yeah.
44:51I'll get you a glass.
44:53Who was on the phone?
44:55Just work.
44:57You get your man?
44:59Not yet.
45:13Where's Alice?
45:15In bed asleep.
45:21Oh, man.
45:35I love you.
45:43I've missed you.
46:05I love you.
46:35I love you.
47:05I love you.
