00:00I can't believe you came back after what you did.
00:04I mean, it's been six years and still no one here likes me.
00:07Sorry, who are you?
00:08Mackenzie Clark, Detective Inspector, Metropolitan Police.
00:11Mackenzie used to have your job.
00:13Why'd you leave?
00:14Is there anything going on between Mackenzie Clark and Glenn Strong?
00:17Leaving him at the altar six years ago, flying to London and never speaking to him again.
00:21The boss was going to be her mother-in-law.
00:23What's the situation? Is there going to be an inquiry?
00:26Said it'd be a matter of months.
00:27Months?
00:28We are the only station in the whole of Australia that will employ you, even temporarily.
00:37Okay, guys. Three, two, one.
00:39Hey, Jadies! Congratulations!
00:42It's the end of our eight-week running program and today's the day we put all of our hard work to the test.
00:48I'm here with Curtis.
00:49Hey, Jadies!
00:50So, we are on the start line of the annual Cove 10K in the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Dolphin Cove.
00:57Wherever you are in the world, Jadies, I hope that you can join with us in running 10K and discovering what we're capable of.
01:04Okay, make sure you've had your Jade Elevate, stay hydrated and get ready to be your absolute best.
01:16Go, Jadies!
01:17Go, Jadies!
01:21Okay, great. I think we've got it.
01:23Now I'm getting you at the drink station, yeah?
01:25Perfect.
01:26Okay, see you there.
01:27On runners, are you ready?
01:31On your marks.
01:32Get set.
01:56Go.
02:09Hi, Mackenzie, it's Curtis Fagliaffa.
02:12I know we've never really spoken, but I need your help.
02:16Or more people are going to die.
02:19Hey, you've reached Curtis. Can't come to the phone right now.
02:22So, if you just leave your name and number, that'd be...
02:49You are not coming through here. Road's closed.
02:53I need to get milk.
02:55Oh, you need... Oh, Shelley.
02:57No worries. Just one of the runners.
03:00Yep.
03:02You had her through?
03:04Take care and have a nice day.
03:06Mackenzie Clark.
03:08Hi, Daisy.
03:09Hi. I heard you were back.
03:12Temporarily.
03:13Are you, um... Are you trying to get through?
03:16Road's closed.
03:17You let Shelley through?
03:19Come on, Trev.
03:28She shouldn't even be back here.
03:37I don't want to be back here, Trevor, but I am.
03:40And because of that, I'm in a bad mood all the time.
03:43And I'm just looking for someone to take it out on.
03:46Is that going to be you?
03:50No.
03:51Good.
03:53Remember that and act accordingly.
04:11Have this piece. It's a PB.
04:13No rush. Let's just stay relaxed.
04:15Get a drink, get through it.
04:19All right, guys, let's get a reel.
04:21Feeling good, babe?
04:22Yeah, 100%.
04:24Jade, give us a wave.
04:27Go, Jadies!
04:38Honestly, most beautiful place in the world,
04:41and these glutes just bespoil it.
04:43We should have stocks out in front of the surf club
04:45for anyone who litters,
04:46and then just throw rotten fruit at them.
04:48That's a human rights violation.
04:50Human rights.
04:51Hey, hey, look who's coming!
04:52Well done, Glenn!
04:53Come on, Cole! Come on, Glenn!
04:55Nice one, Glenn.
04:58No!
04:59Missed it by 30 seconds.
05:01Doesn't matter, mate. Beautiful run.
05:03You're not even puffing.
05:10Can't us get in here?
05:14Oh, did you go a bit hard at the end there?
05:17Are you okay? Curtis?
05:20Curtis?
05:22Curtis!
05:24Curtis!
05:26Curtis!
05:28Somebody help!
05:32Curtis!
05:43Curtis!
06:08He collapsed just after the finish line.
06:10It was like a heart attack.
06:11I didn't see it, but I heard the crowd.
06:14Hang on.
06:16Were you here?
06:18You actually came out to watch a fun run,
06:20and your mother comes out to support her son?
06:22Shocking.
06:27Lindsay?
06:28Yeah, and Colin.
06:35Curtis Valliaffer.
06:36You know him?
06:37He was below you at school, wasn't he?
06:39Was he a runner?
06:40800. He was good.
06:42Listen to this.
06:44Hi, Mackenzie. It's Curtis Valliaffer.
06:47I know we've never really spoken, but I need your help.
06:51Or more people are going to die.
06:53When did you get that?
06:55About an hour ago.
06:56Did you call him back?
06:58No answer. Guess he was running.
07:00So, he leaves you that, and then soon after, dead.
07:10What are the reasons a fit guy like Curtis
07:12would just drop dead after a race?
07:14It can happen. Undiagnosed heart disorder,
07:16sudden cardiac arrest, aneurysm.
07:19It's rare, though.
07:23What's that?
07:28Phone number?
07:29Yeah, maybe.
07:30Looks like signs of vomit in his mouth.
07:32Maybe he just went too hard.
07:34Not based on his time.
07:36Sweating a bit.
07:37Just around 10K.
07:38Or it's poison.
07:41Maybe, but nothing familiar in the symptoms.
07:44People do just have heart attacks.
07:46Yeah, but do they have them an hour after they call
07:48a police officer saying that they're in trouble?
07:51That people are going to die?
07:56Who was with him?
07:57His partner.
07:59Jade.
08:00MacReady?
08:08Um, before we, uh, you know, just to clarify,
08:11so you're officially working here now?
08:14So it seems.
08:15So I guess it means I should probably take the lead
08:17in investigations.
08:18Does it?
08:19Well, it makes sense, I think, as a detective,
08:21senior constable.
08:22I'm a D.I.
08:23Well, not strictly a rank we have in Australia,
08:25though, different systems.
08:27Still, what would it be here?
08:31To avoid confusion,
08:32just so we don't step on each other's toes.
08:34Get your toes out of the way.
08:36I won't step on them.
08:41How did someone just die like that?
08:43We didn't even go that fast.
08:45You know, it was just about participating
08:47and showing the Jadies that just showing up
08:49and getting out there is more important than speed.
08:51Sorry, the Jadies?
08:53My followers.
08:55Online.
08:56Jade's an influencer.
08:58Oh, I see.
08:59I'm sorry.
09:00I'm sorry.
09:01Online.
09:02Jade's an influencer.
09:04I don't really like that term.
09:06It doesn't really reflect the community I've built up.
09:08It's not just about me.
09:12Right.
09:13Is that why your company's called Jade?
09:16We focus on exercise and wellness,
09:18but we've also expanded into active wear
09:21and exercise equipment and supplements.
09:24And it's successful?
09:25Yeah.
09:26We've helped a lot of people be their best.
09:31Did you notice anything different about Curtis this morning?
09:35No.
09:36Was he worried about anything?
09:39Just the usual.
09:41Work.
09:42The business.
09:43I don't know.
09:44I guess what everybody worries about.
09:51Hi, Mackenzie.
09:52It's Curtis Faliafa.
09:54I know we've never really spoken,
09:55but I need your help.
09:57Or more people are going to die.
09:59He left that on my phone just before he died.
10:04Do you have any idea what that could be about?
10:07None whatsoever.
10:10Did Curtis eat or drink much up until he collapsed?
10:13No.
10:14We fast in the mornings.
10:15Nothing during the run?
10:18I don't think so.
10:21Wait, hang on.
10:22He did have a drink.
10:29Where from?
10:30Yeah, this is the only drink station.
10:32Once they get out on the bush track,
10:34it's the only place we can get water in.
10:37And could anyone else get access to the water or the cups?
10:40Everyone.
10:41Once they get cracking, it's like a zoo.
10:44Flat out from go to oil, can barely keep up.
10:47And do you hand them the cups?
10:49Fill them up, put them out, people take them.
10:51Then they chuck them all over.
10:54Right.
10:55Before we move on, do you know what this is?
11:00I don't know.
11:01My number?
11:07Thanks.
11:10So Keith and anyone in the race had access to the drink station.
11:15You seriously think it's poison?
11:17Because Glenn said his symptoms could just be a heart attack.
11:21Yes, but with someone so young with no pre-existing condition.
11:25And it doesn't explain the message he left on my phone.
11:27But Curtis is the only victim.
11:30He could have eaten or drunk anything.
11:33Hmm.
11:35Let's look into that.
11:36Everything that went into his body before and during the race.
11:40Including the cups?
11:44Including the cups.
11:47All of them.
11:57So to find any trace evidence of poison in the cups,
12:00I add solvent and water to each cup.
12:04Combine it with the other samples.
12:06Ten batches.
12:07We then run them through the desktop centrifuge.
12:11And you're looking for the poison?
12:13Not strictly.
12:14Anything unexpected that could have produced the sort of symptoms we saw.
12:19And?
12:20Nothing so far and I've done most of them.
12:22There has to be something.
12:23Does there?
12:24Look at all these cups.
12:25The idea that somehow there's poison in one of them is obsolete.
12:28Oh, batch three, a hit.
12:30You're having a laugh.
12:32What is it?
12:33I don't know yet.
12:34I'll have to send the samples off to the labs in town to go through the STRI machine.
12:38Could take a while, but it's something.
12:40So one of these cups has something in it?
12:42At least one. It could be more.
12:44But no one else has any symptoms.
12:46It had to be intended for Curtis.
12:49There's no outside chance it was random?
12:51It's not random.
12:53He left me a message.
12:54He left me a message.
12:55So you're saying, of all the hundreds of runners, hundreds of cups,
12:59the killer managed to get the poisoned one into Curtis' hand?
13:03Yeah.
13:05Well, it's impossible.
13:07Apparently not.
13:09But how?
13:15Come on.
13:20There's no way anyone could get near to poison a cup.
13:24I told you, the place was chaos.
13:27Hundreds of runners pounding through the bush.
13:29They're all grabbing cups.
13:32And you knew Curtis?
13:35I guess.
13:36You guess yes or no?
13:37Yeah.
13:39He was a friend.
13:41You don't seem very sad.
13:44Well, we didn't really see each other that much anymore.
13:48But you used to?
13:50I used to coach him in footy.
13:52For years.
13:55What happened?
13:57I stopped coaching.
14:01What happened to your hand?
14:05I caught it in the boat rack.
14:08Hopeless.
14:13We've got Curtis Filiapa.
14:15He's 32, super fit.
14:17He's the partner of a successful influencer.
14:20She doesn't like that word.
14:23All right.
14:24He is poisoned by something in a cup that he took from the drink station.
14:29Glenn is narrowing down which of the cups had our suspicious substance in it.
14:33Once we find it, that is our weapon.
14:35And we're sure Curtis was the target?
14:37He knew he was in danger.
14:38Because of the message he left on your phone.
14:40That couldn't be a coincidence.
14:42No, it could.
14:43If coincidences happen, which they don't.
14:46Keith Cole was staffing the drink station.
14:49He knew Curtis, but he was being funny about it.
14:52Something going on there.
14:55No motive that we can see so far, but he did potentially have opportunity.
14:59What are you up to?
15:00I just thought I'd put my craft skills to good use.
15:02I was a founding member of the Dolphin Cove Crafty Cats.
15:06Motorboard.
15:09Who else had opportunity and access to the cups?
15:12Well, I put together a timeline of Curtis's race,
15:14based on what I found on the socials.
15:16Here we are.
15:17Start of it.
15:20Hey, Jadies!
15:21Congratulations!
15:22It's the end of our eight-week running program.
15:25Here's another one.
15:32Look, Curtis drank from that.
15:34No, she did too.
15:36It can't be that.
15:37And here's the last one.
15:38Yeah, that's the drink station.
15:40And there's Jane.
15:41And there's Curtis.
15:42Jade, give us a wave.
15:45Hey, Jadies!
15:46That's all I've got.
15:49So we've got Keith Cole at the scene, as well as Jade.
15:53Who's Australia's most successful wellness entrepreneur,
15:56selling supplements.
15:58Famous for triumphing over cancer.
16:01Twice.
16:03What's that?
16:04It was the second time.
16:05It was the second time.
16:06It was the second time.
16:07It was the second time.
16:08It was the second time.
16:09It was the second time.
16:10What's that?
16:11It was the second time.
16:13She also had cancer when she was in high school.
16:15Do you remember?
16:16Oh, yeah, of course, year nine.
16:18She was sick for months.
16:19She had the chemo, the works.
16:20Yeah, she was such a quiet kid.
16:21Then all of a sudden, everyone was rallying around her,
16:23raising money.
16:24Footy team shaved their heads.
16:25It was amazing.
16:26And then she beat it.
16:27Well, it came back, and she beat it,
16:29using only her supplements.
16:31But this time, she turned it into a global wellness empire
16:34worth $40 million.
16:36Oh, you're joking.
16:38For juices.
16:39Supplements.
16:40It was leaked a couple of weeks ago
16:41that Jade's brand was going to be sold
16:43to a large private equity firm in Singapore.
16:47That was the price.
16:48Where would that money go?
16:50Jade's company is owned 50-50 by Jade and Curtis.
16:54Right.
16:55So if he dies?
16:56Jade gets the lot.
16:57$40 million.
16:59Is that enough to poison your partner?
17:10Wow.
17:12We're in the wrong business.
17:14Maybe I should start taking those bribes.
17:16In this town, what would you get?
17:19$10 and a stubby?
17:21So, since you're staying in Dolphin Cove...
17:24For now.
17:25Does that mean in terms of renting your place out?
17:27Oh, yeah.
17:29Oh, sorry.
17:30Oh, no, it's fine.
17:31No big deal.
17:32Happy where I am, you know.
17:34Looking over the pub car park.
17:36Looking over the pub car park.
17:38It's, um...
17:39It's lively.
17:47Are you suggesting I'm responsible?
17:50Well, you do stand to gain $20 million from his death.
17:55How much money do you think I need?
17:57I loved Curtis more than any amount of money.
18:00It's not even about that for me.
18:02I was just as happy when I was
18:04mixing up supplements in my mum's kitchen and selling them at the market.
18:07You've done pretty well out of it, though.
18:09Look, I'm not going to say I don't like what money can do.
18:12I just hate what I have to do for it.
18:14Endless posting, reels, photos.
18:16Living my whole life online.
18:18I'm really looking forward to selling my business
18:20and throwing my phone into the sea.
18:22Jade, sorry.
18:23Just to let you know, I've cancelled the filming we had scheduled
18:26and I've put a simple message of In Memoriam on all the accounts.
18:32Sorry.
18:34Do you mind if I just...
18:45Who's he?
18:46Nick, our manager.
18:53Hey, do you want to grab a drink at the surf club?
18:57With you?
18:59In theory, yes.
19:01Why?
19:02In the spirit of teamwork.
19:04Properly welcome you back to Dolphin Cove.
19:06Oh, I won't be here that long.
19:08Still, it's a thing people do when they work together.
19:13Not really my thing.
19:16Sure.
19:24Is Mackenzie coming in for a drink?
19:27Doesn't like coming for a drink, apparently.
19:30Doesn't like people, as far as I can tell.
19:32Or anything.
19:34I get it.
19:35She's a better detective than you and you're worried.
19:38She's not a better detective than me.
19:40Colin, it's been nine months since my bike got nicked
19:43and you got nothing.
19:44The case is still open.
19:46They left the front wheel behind.
19:48Whoever pinched it couldn't have got that far.
19:50I am a good detective.
19:52I was managing fine without a partner.
19:55Only some hotshot thinking she's better than everyone.
19:58She's stuck up, dismissive and walks out on everybody all the time.
20:08How much of that do you think she...
20:09Knowing Mackenzie Clark, every word.
20:21What have you found?
20:23I've narrowed it down to the exact cup Curtis must have drunk from.
20:26Partial print, nothing that helps.
20:28And Keith was wearing gloves so there wouldn't be any of his prints.
20:31I'm still waiting to hear back about the blood tox samples I sent off.
20:41You know Trevor had a go at me again this morning?
20:45He can hold a grudge.
20:48He's not the only one.
20:50Yeah.
20:52I guess there was a bit of ill feeling when you left town.
21:05He just grabbed the cup off the table.
21:07How could the killer make sure that he took the right one?
21:10Maybe it is random.
21:12Really?
21:14Even after the victim left a message on my phone?
21:18I'm just saying it's possible it wasn't a targeted murder.
21:21You think I'm wrong?
21:23I would never say that.
21:26Because you're scared.
21:27I'm not scared.
21:28No, you look scared.
21:30Okay.
21:31Shall we bet on it then?
21:33Don't lose your head.
21:36Same stakes as always.
21:38Take away from Franco's fish and chips.
21:40Yeah, you're on.
21:42Let me know when Tox is in.
21:43I will hand deliver it myself and claim my winnings.
21:46Oh, good luck with that.
21:49Frankie.
21:51I mean I guess she wants to go with you.
21:54She can stay at your house for the night if that's okay.
21:58It's fine with me.
22:00It's fine with me then.
22:02Hello?
22:03In here.
22:04Oh, hey Mac.
22:08Hey ya.
22:09Well, I got us some takeaway.
22:11Yeah, Mac is taking Frankie.
22:15Just for the night.
22:17Okay.
22:23I should leave, let you guys.
22:26Yeah, see you Mac.
22:28Bye.
22:29Best behaviour Frankie.
22:36Come on.
22:38Come on.
22:42Frankie.
22:44You could have told me.
23:08Amazing news Jadies.
23:10I'm officially in remission and so fortunate to have gotten here without conventional medicine.
23:17It just goes to show that with determination and support you can achieve anything.
23:24I believe in you guys.
23:29This account Frankie, it's called Just In Time, pops up over and over again.
23:34So many comments.
23:37Who are you?
23:40Why are you so obsessed with Jade?
23:47Any thoughts?
23:49No.
23:50Yeah.
23:52Oh, yeah.
24:03Hey!
24:05This is private property.
24:07Good morning Mackenzie.
24:09You can't walk through here.
24:11Otherwise we have to go all the way around, it takes us forever.
24:15What, an extra two minutes?
24:18Your mum doesn't have a problem with it.
24:19Well I'm not my mum.
24:21No, people like her.
24:28Off.
24:29Off you go.
24:30She runs us a bar for after if you feel so inclined.
24:35I'm not so inclined.
24:37Why am I not surprised?
24:39Come on.
24:41Come on girls.
24:48Seriously?
24:56Here you go, flat white, extra weak.
24:59And extra hot.
25:00We've talked about this.
25:01That's as hot as I can get it before the milk burns and the coffee's ruined.
25:04Okay, I'm here, what do you want?
25:05Um, just wanted to start the day by shouting to my colleague.
25:08I know you don't like coffee, so tea, juice, whatever you want.
25:15I had chocolate milk.
25:16You mean like children have?
25:18No, that's absolutely fine.
25:19Um, one of those please, Daisy.
25:23How are you putting up with him?
25:25Me?
25:27She's the difficult one.
25:28Oh my god, found my pink bike yet?
25:30Remember, it's missing the front wheel.
25:32The case is still open.
25:33Oh, I have been walking everywhere.
25:35You should see my blisters.
25:37Okay.
25:38You wanted to be helped.
25:39Brilliant.
25:48There you go.
25:50Thanks.
25:54Glenn's an idiot.
25:55He should have said something.
25:56I never would have.
25:57No, it's okay.
25:58No, no, no, it's not okay.
26:00Common courtesy, in my opinion.
26:01If it helps, I cracked it at him after you left.
26:04Yeah, that, that helps quite a lot actually.
26:16Look, before we, um, last night,
26:19you may have heard me speaking a little bit out of turn.
26:23Sorry is what I'm saying.
26:26It wasn't appropriate or professional.
26:28And I am both those things, generally.
26:31I want us to have a good relationship.
26:32As partners.
26:33Work together.
26:34That sort of thing.
26:36A team.
26:41Felix?
26:42I found something interesting in Curtis' messages.
26:44Go on.
26:45Pretty heated exchange with Nick Desage, the manager.
26:48Alright, send it through.
26:50Colin, come on!
26:52Ow!
26:53Don't worry.
26:54Everything is under control.
26:57We will do as we promised before.
27:04Oh, the deal a bit shaky.
27:07What?
27:08Well, my Mandarin's a bit rusty,
27:10but it sounded like,
27:11don't worry, everything's on track.
27:14And it is.
27:15On track.
27:16With Curtis out of the way, anyway.
27:18What?
27:19I won't sign off on this deal until we have a proper conversation.
27:25Curtis sent you that message about two weeks ago?
27:27Conversation about what?
27:29I never found out.
27:32All that time?
27:34And you never asked?
27:35Well, he didn't bring it up again,
27:36so I figured it was just a case of the jitters.
27:38Pretty normal when it's such a big deal.
27:40He would have been fine.
27:41What would that have cost you?
27:42I don't know.
27:43I don't know.
27:44I don't know.
27:45I don't know.
27:46I don't know.
27:47He would have been fine.
27:48What would that have cost you?
27:51Your commission on $40 million?
27:52I don't do it for the money.
27:53How much?
27:5410% plus a bonus.
27:59You must have been angry.
28:00Angry?
28:02No.
28:03Curtis just wanted to be across everything.
28:06They're both like that.
28:07I mean, look at this.
28:09Supplement ingredients,
28:10all supplied locally because they want to be in control of their supply chain.
28:14It costs more, but that's just the type of people they are.
28:18I've been working with them since Jade was selling her juices on a market stall.
28:22They both just care about the details.
28:25And how are the sales back on track?
28:27We're going to Singapore soon for the launch.
28:30Your movements during the fun run.
28:34You filmed Curtis and Jade's reel at the start line,
28:38and then you took another of them at the halfway point.
28:41At the drink station.
28:42Jade reckied it the morning of the run and thought it had the best framing.
28:48Do you know what this is?
28:52Looks like a phone number.
28:54I don't recognise it.
28:59Mate, I've been on the phone with them all morning.
29:04Another recorded message.
29:06Belarus, not connected.
29:08What?
29:09Is this it?
29:11Is this it?
29:12Is what it?
29:13This.
29:14Police life.
29:16Dialing random numbers all day.
29:18Picking up cups.
29:19A glorified street sweeper.
29:21Not even.
29:22They'd have a better uniform.
29:23Well, one of those cups was a vital clue.
29:25Yeah, but we should be out on the beat with the people.
29:29You know, wearing out a bit of shoe leather.
29:31Community policing.
29:33That's what I volunteered for.
29:35You volunteered to help the police.
29:37And we're helping Mac by calling that number in all these countries to see if we can work out what it is.
29:42And sometimes police work is dull and repetitive.
29:45That doesn't mean it's not important.
29:47I just feel like I have more to offer.
29:50Fine.
29:51You take Zimbabwe and work backwards.
29:53Fine.
29:54It's really not my thing.
29:56Really?
29:57Because I've heard you calling in on the local radio more than once to give your thoughts on councillors.
30:02Much of it borderline defamatory.
30:04It is all true, Felix.
30:07Miss Rocco, you can go home if you want to.
30:10It's up to you.
30:14I'll go and ring Zimbabwe then.
30:26Hello, Frankie.
30:28She behave herself?
30:30Fine.
30:31What did you find in the autopsy?
30:34No signs of heart disease or anything that would naturally induce a heart attack.
30:38Okay, so that confirms the theory that whatever he drank from that cup caused it.
30:43Are we still waiting on blood talks?
30:45I did warn you it'd take a while, but given that a substance was found in one of the cups,
30:49and as much as I hate to admit it, I think it's safe to say he was poisoned.
30:54Yeah, but how did the killer poison just one cup and make sure Curtis drank from it?
30:59One more thing.
31:00There was a bruise under Curtis' eye.
31:02I didn't see it.
31:03You wouldn't.
31:04It was at least a week old and concealed by make-up.
31:10What are you doing?
31:13Left eye.
31:14Keith Cole had a cut on his right hand.
31:18What happened to your hand?
31:19Put it in the boat rack.
31:25Mac, before you go.
31:29Glad to see it's not just me she walks out on.
31:33I mean, rooms.
31:35Walks out on rooms, not weddings.
31:38Well, that's also true, but not something we need to discuss or even comment on, really.
31:43Don't worry about it.
31:47Right, we've got a poisoned cup, a punch to the face, a $40 million deal,
31:52and a random international phone number which Felix is still trying to track down.
31:58That's not much to go on.
32:00You are joking.
32:02I keep a couple in the fridge. They really are brilliant.
32:04Well, looks like a shakedown to me.
32:06No, they contain omega-3 and turmeric to reduce inflammation
32:10and activated charcoal which absorbs toxins in the body.
32:13It's brilliant stuff.
32:18Sure, you know, the taste is a little robust,
32:22but that's the sacrifice you make for top performance.
32:25No, thanks.
32:28Okay, so poison check.
32:30How?
32:31You don't know.
32:32Have you got anything else?
32:33Yes.
32:34I'm going to talk to Keith Cole about the cut on his hand and
32:38I spent the night on Jade's very active social media account.
32:42These people living their lives online, it's a sickness.
32:45Actually, Jade did a full digital detox earlier this year.
32:48Oh, what, she left her phone in the car for 20 minutes?
32:52No, took a couple of months off.
32:53Went to Thailand, no phone, no anything.
32:56So how did you know about it?
32:58Well, she posted about it online when she got back, obviously.
33:02The resort looked fantastic.
33:05Yes, hello?
33:07Hi, my name is Constable Felix Wilkinson.
33:10I'm a police officer in Dolphin Cove, Australia.
33:13I'm investigating...
33:16Sorry, do you know the name Curtis Faliafa?
33:21Oh, yes, I do wear trousers most days, thank you for asking,
33:25but I just need you...
33:29Dry clean it and go on.
33:31I've got a two-for-one going on trousers.
33:33I don't think he's heard of a Curtis Faliafa.
33:35OK, anyway, there was one account that kept popping up,
33:38liking, responding to every single one of Jade's posts.
33:41Who?
33:42Username was Just In Time.
33:47Now, the profile picture looked familiar,
33:49but I couldn't put my finger on it.
33:51I did some research, figured it out.
33:55Oh, is that... Yeah, Justine Cole.
33:58Cole was in... Yeah, Keith Cole's daughter.
34:01I didn't recognise her at first.
34:05Let's go talk to her.
34:07She passed away about six months ago.
34:14Mr Cole, can you talk us through how you injured your hand again?
34:20I told you, it's on the boat rack.
34:23Not from punching Curtis Faliafa.
34:26He had a bruise under his left eye,
34:28so you're saying your hand, that's just a coincidence?
34:31OK.
34:33Curtis and I fought.
34:35Fine.
34:36About Justine?
34:39I don't want to talk about her.
34:41But she is part of this, Keith, isn't she?
34:44Justine was a Jadie.
34:46She liked every photo, commented on every post,
34:49but six months ago, it stops.
34:51And she died.
34:57She was obsessed with supplements, the exercise, everything.
35:03She was studying, living in the city.
35:06We didn't get to see her that often.
35:08So we didn't know...
35:12We didn't know how sick she was.
35:15She was so devoted to Jade, she didn't go and see a doctor,
35:19so she thought she could fix herself a diet or whatever.
35:28By the time we found out, it was...
35:32..it was too late.
35:35Jade...
35:38..killed my daughter.
35:41There's no doubt in my mind.
35:47So when you found out they were selling the company for $40 million...
35:51I just thought it would get...
35:54..bigger and...and bigger,
35:57and more people would get sucked in.
35:59Just like Justine.
36:02I had to talk to Curtis, I had to get him to do something.
36:06You're a parasite!
36:11Oh, my God!
36:15Or more people are going to die.
36:17Exactly.
36:18Well, he didn't do anything.
36:20That would have made you angry.
36:22I'm always angry. I'll never stop being angry.
36:25You put the poison cup down on the table, the cup that killed him.
36:28I didn't know it was poisoned.
36:30I was just filling them up and putting them out as fast as I could.
36:34Look, I had nothing to do with this.
36:36I swear I was angry at Curtis, at both of them.
36:40I admit that.
36:42But I would never kill anyone.
36:50Or more people are going to die.
36:53That's what Curtis was getting at.
36:55If the sale goes through, more people will die.
36:58But the sale is going through. Exactly.
37:01And if you blame Jade for the death of your daughter,
37:04if you wanted to stop Jade's company being sold globally,
37:07why not kill her?
37:09Maybe he meant to.
37:10Then why not hand her the cup?
37:13Maybe he tried.
37:15Jade lied to us.
37:17She said no-one had any sort of grudge against...
37:21Against Curtis.
37:23I know. We should talk to her about that.
37:27You can see.
37:35Well, let's go then.
37:43Why did you lie to us?
37:45Excuse me?
37:46We asked you if anyone wanted to harm Curtis, had a grudge against him.
37:50You said no.
37:53So?
37:54So you forget to mention that Keith Cole punched him in the face right outside?
37:59Sorry, I had no idea.
38:01Curtis said an exercise band caught him in the eye.
38:07Did you know what he and Curtis fell out about?
38:10I assumed Justine.
38:12Keith has always believed, incorrectly, that we played a part in her death.
38:20Well, you did tell the world that your supplements cured you,
38:23which she believed.
38:25I never said anything about my supplements curing me.
38:28Oh, I watched The Real Jade.
38:29I have my story, and I'm very honest about it.
38:33But the Jade brand is about each of us taking charge of our own bodies.
38:38I had no control over what Justine did.
38:42You didn't mind the boost in views she gave your page, though.
38:45I had to block her in the end.
38:47And if I'm honest, she was obsessed with me.
38:53We're going to have some more questions.
38:55Well, I'm flying out to Singapore tomorrow for the launch.
38:59I'm sorry, but that can't be rearranged.
39:06Oh, one more thing.
39:08Do you know what this number could be?
39:13I don't know. Maybe a bank account. Who knows?
39:25What are you thinking we'll get from this number? Is it relevant?
39:30Everything's relevant.
39:31Jade McReady.
39:34No, not a renewal. She's never had one.
39:41Yep.
39:44Looked like a new supplement in there.
39:47That Jade was drinking.
39:50Maybe she was trialing it.
39:53Okay.
39:56Okay.
40:038-7-6-5-9-1. 8-7-6-5-9-1-2-4-8-9.
40:088-7.
40:118-7-6-5-9-1.
40:12Hello?
40:14More people are going to die. Yeah?
40:16I have called in a lot of favours to get this tonight.
40:19Blood tox?
40:20I'm sending a bottle of wine to their lab. Your pay.
40:23What's in it?
40:26Nicotine.
40:28In liquid form. In enough quantity, it can induce a heart attack.
40:32Nick, the manager. Every time I've seen him, he's been vaping.
40:37He was at the drink station, we know that.
40:39But how could he poison one cup and make sure Curtis took it?
40:44It's the same question every time!
40:46When was the last time you ate?
40:48I, um, I don't know.
40:50I, no, I didn't have milk, so I couldn't have breakfast.
40:54That was yesterday.
40:57Was it?
40:58Mackenzie, for someone so smart, how do you not understand that you need food to live?
41:02I, I eat food.
41:04Tournament of Minds, Brisbane, 2003.
41:07Three days, not a cracker.
41:16I'll see what's in the fridge.
41:18Uh-huh.
41:20I was fine, by the way, at Tournament of Minds.
41:24You were hallucinating quadratic equations on the ceiling.
41:27Which I solved, I might add.
41:29Jade Restore.
41:31That's all there was. You snooze, you lose, Carl.
41:34Hm.
41:35Minus keepers.
41:37Hm.
41:43Mmm! Mmm! Mmm-mmm!
41:46What?
41:47Mmm! Mmm-mmm!
41:49What?
41:50Is that good?
41:53Oh!
41:54Oh!
41:56What is in this?
42:03Mack.
42:04Mack.
42:15Mack, you okay?
42:21Mack.
42:26Do you have anywhere you need to be?
42:28Why?
42:30We've got some phone calls to make.
42:38Hi, Mackenzie, it's, it's Curtis Faliafa.
42:41I know we've never really spoken, but I need your help.
42:44Or more people are gonna die.
42:46Or more people are going to die.
42:49Curtis left that message on my phone
42:51a bit over an hour before he was one of those people.
42:56Poisoned.
42:58Seemingly by a cup that he picked up at the drink station
43:01that was staffed by Keith Cole.
43:04There was one question that we couldn't answer.
43:07How could the killer make sure that Curtis took the poison cup?
43:12Then we learned that the poison was nicotine.
43:17What?
43:18Well, you had access to liquid nicotine.
43:21It's vape fluid.
43:22You stood to lose your 10% cut
43:24Curtis killed the deal, it's $4 million.
43:27And you were at the drink station filming.
43:29Jade, give us a wave.
43:31Hey!
43:33Go Jadies!
43:35I didn't touch the cups.
43:38The killer wanted us looking at the cups.
43:41They wanted us spending all our time, all our energy
43:43trying to figure out how the killer could make sure
43:45that Curtis drank from the poisoned cup.
43:49But the cup wasn't the murder weapon.
43:55Hmm.
44:14One of these was.
44:16You handed him a drink from one of those.
44:18On the start line.
44:20Jade.
44:21But I drank from that.
44:23And who would suspect someone who drank the exact same thing as the victim?
44:28Surely if the nicotine was in the bottle
44:29then you would have been poisoned as well.
44:31And you were.
44:33I'm fine.
44:34Because the poison isn't the only thing you drank.
44:38You made sure you had one of your Jade supplements before the race
44:41and then you kept drinking them for 24 hours.
44:44Every time we saw you, you were drinking one.
44:47Of course, they support my recovery.
44:49Especially those that you've been mixing up yourself.
44:52Detective Senior Constable Cartwright noticed
44:54that they were a slightly different colour.
44:56Looked like a new supplement there.
44:57Loaded with?
44:59Activated charcoal.
45:01It contains omega-3 and turmeric, which reduces inflammation
45:04and activated charcoal, which absorbs toxins.
45:08Including nicotine.
45:11Especially if you drank enough of it, and boy did you.
45:13I mean, you had a ready supply.
45:15You, you are across every step of your supply chain.
45:19And you kept up a steady intake.
45:23And you planted a poisoned decoy cup before the race
45:26while you were looking for a location for Nick to film from.
45:30To throw us off.
45:34Why would I kill Curtis?
45:36I loved him.
45:37He was about to reveal your secret.
45:41Supplements didn't cure your cancer.
45:44You had surgery and chemotherapy, Jade.
45:46What?
45:47But you knew, gosh, if that got out, well, your company,
45:49it would be worthless.
45:50So you kept it a secret.
45:52Even from Curtis.
45:53But news of the deal leaked.
45:55Which sent Keith to Curtis.
45:58Desperate for no more people to be harmed.
46:01And that sent Curtis to you.
46:05And that sent Curtis on his own research.
46:08Which led him to this number.
46:11Now, we all thought it was a phone number, didn't we?
46:15Because, you know, well, looks like one.
46:17The only person who saw this number and didn't say a phone number was you.
46:22I don't know, maybe a bank account, who knows.
46:24Because you knew it wasn't a phone number.
46:26You knew it was a patient ID.
46:31Now, we had to call almost every treatment facility in Australia,
46:34but we got there in the end.
46:36The Greengrass Institute for Cancer.
46:39This is ridiculous.
46:41You think I could just disappear and keep something like this a secret?
46:45My whole life is spent online.
46:47Well, what about your digital detox?
46:49I was in Thailand.
46:51You didn't have a passport.
46:53Jade McReady.
46:56No, not a renewal, she's never had one.
47:03I checked.
47:04You really think I could have kept a surgery and chemo from Curtis?
47:09From everyone?
47:11You had to, because no one believed in Jade.
47:16More than him.
47:17And chemotherapy, it's the only thing that fits.
47:20Right down to you being able to drink those incredibly strong tasting supplements.
47:32Chemotherapy, it killed your sense of taste, Jade.
47:36A warrant for the details of this patient, it came through this morning.
47:40I've got the file, right here.
47:43What's the name of that patient, Felix?
47:54I never meant to lie.
47:56I promise.
47:57The supplements really did help at the start.
48:00I was improving.
48:02My followers went through the roof.
48:03I had so much support.
48:05It was just like when I was sick at school.
48:07And then I went downhill.
48:09But by then the sales started happening.
48:11And I had to get better.
48:12I had to.
48:13So many people were relying on me.
48:15I just, I couldn't let anyone stop it.
48:18Not even Curtis.
48:27I really did love him.
48:32Jade McCready, you are under arrest for the murder of Curtis Vallejo.
48:59Activated charcoal.
49:00Has to be said.
49:01Incredible stuff.
49:02No more cramps.
49:03And I went hard this morning.
49:05But you are still drinking those things.
49:07They're still good.
49:09Mackenzie.
49:10Want to walk out with me?
49:13Here it is.
49:14Can you stop leaving your water bottle on my desk?
49:15What?
49:16Please.
49:21That was good work.
49:22With the phone numbers.
49:25Both of you.
49:26Well, I mean it was 150 dead ends.
49:29Wasn't a bit of a waste of time.
49:31No.
49:32Knowing it wasn't a phone number got us thinking about what else it could be.
49:35That's solid police work.
49:39That made the case.
49:45I made the case.
49:48We?
49:49Oh, she seemed more definitive when she was talking to me.
49:53It was me.
49:55I made the case.
49:57You're a very good detective, Mackenzie.
49:59I mean, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
50:01I mean, you know as well as anyone that your brain.
50:05It just works differently.
50:09And that makes you very good at your job.
50:12But you're not the only one.
50:15I'm very proud of the team that I've got here.
50:17They're smart.
50:18They work hard.
50:19They look after each other.
50:22Just don't be a pain, Mackenzie.
50:27When you left my son, you left a mess.
50:33But you also walked out on this station.
50:35You walked out on me.
50:37And you're a long way from making up for that.
50:39Do you understand me?
50:40I do.
50:43Why?
50:45Why?
50:46Because she's a murderer, mates.
50:48I stopped her.
50:49I stopped her.
50:50I stopped her.
50:51I stopped her.
50:52I stopped her.
50:53Why?
50:54Because she's a murderer, mates.
50:56I stopped buying her stuff.
50:57I'm off.
51:00See you all in the morning.
51:01See ya.
51:09Up too much tonight?
51:14Every time, seriously, just walks off.
51:16Not a word.
51:24Come on.
51:26Where?
51:27I am shouting you a smoothie.
51:31Why?
51:32It's a thing people do when they work together.
51:38I'm doing something nice here, Colin.
51:39It's a one-time offer.
51:40Take it.
51:41Alright then.
51:48Take your pick.
51:49Any smoothie you want.
51:51Uh, berry berries, please.
51:53Good choice.
51:54Doesn't look like much.
51:56Trust me.
51:59You're not staying?
52:00I'm not really a smoothie person.
52:04Berry berry, coming up.
52:06Pink bike.
52:08Missing front wheel.
52:21Come on.
52:29To the victor of the spoils.
52:32That was the bet, wasn't it?
52:33Yeah.
52:34Direct from Franco's Fish and Chips.
52:36Oh.
52:37You can have it.
52:39It's fresh out of the oil.
52:41Which, if I'm honest, maybe hasn't been changed since the last year.
52:45Still.
52:47You could have told me about Daisy, you know.
52:51I know.
52:52She's brilliant.
52:53She is perfect for you.
52:56Yeah.
52:57Yeah, she is.
52:59We always work better as friends, anyway.
53:02Did we?
53:03Yeah. Yep.
53:04Mm-hmm.
53:06Much clearer that way.
53:07We work together.
53:08Get along fine.
53:10Happy days.
53:16Enjoy that.
53:18See you tomorrow.
53:21Mm-hmm.
53:28I'll be wearing pink pajamas
53:32Once she comes
53:36She'll be wearing pink pajamas
53:40She'll be wearing pink pajamas
53:45Once she comes
53:48She'll be wearing pink pajamas
53:52Once
53:58She'll be wearing pink pajamas
54:02She'll be wearing pink pajamas
54:04Ah!
54:05Ah!
54:06Ah!
54:07Ah!
54:14No!
54:15It's gonna give me a heart attack!
54:18But not a squat!
