Investigations into the murder commence with the entire gang being questioned, as the drama set in
the sun-drenched Australian beach resort of Manly continues.
DS Wilson begins investigating the murder, calling each member of the group in for questioning.
Addo's panic intensifies as he realises that, with no memory, he has no way of proving his
innocence. Since he knows nothing for sure, anything is possible and he begins to feel that someone
must have spiked his drink.
Convinced of his innocence, Stavva and Jarrod attempt to help Addo recall and piece together the
events of the previous night. They begin by attempting to find the author of the note left for
Addo, but to no avail. While gathering his clothes from his illegal digs, Addo realises he lost his
trousers last night – literally. And to make matters worse, Addo's squatting is exposed by
the highly unimpressed owner of the flat he's been staying in.
Meanwhile, the forensics team discovers that the victim was taken from a car and dragged and then
dropped into the water. Stavva's sister, Lucia, is identified as the owner of the vehicle. Stavva
previously told Wilson he had driven his sister's car to the reunion, meaning that he is brought
back to the station for further questioning.
Later, Stephen turns up on Gabby's doorstep, announcing to Bec that he's told his wife and children
about her and that he has left them, ready to move to Sydney to start a new life with her.
DS Wilson is played by Shane Withington, Addo by Daniel Henshall, Stavva by Ryan Johnson, Jarrod by Clayton Watson, Lucia by Basia
A'Hern, Stephen by John Atkinson, Gabby by Sophie Katinis and Bec by Renai Caruso.

Professor Robert Bartlett investigates the intellectual landscape of the medieval world and belief
in the supernatural, in the third episode of this series, part of BBC Four's Medieval Season.
It was believed that the medieval dead shared the world with the living: encounters with the dead
and visions of the next world ensured a two-way traffic between this world and the next.
Professor Bartlett recounts the popular medieval tale of The Three Living And The Three Dead and
quotes from medieval sources describing the visit of an Essex peasant to the next world, which
leaves him with a keen sense of the geography of the after life.
The cult of the saints was part of the medieval preoccupation with death. The Holy dead were active
in their intercession for the living, and their relics were prized. Professor Bartlett examines one
of the few medieval relics in Britain, the skull of St Simon Stock at Aylesford Priory.
Inside The Medieval Mind is a BBC/Open University
co-production and is part of BBC Four's
wide-ranging season exploring life in medieval Britain.
