My Life is murder S04E02 Tough Love Subtitles

00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,♪ Well, some things,
I'm really proud of,

00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,♪ and I don't mind if I share.

00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,♪ Other things I've screwed right
up, they're whispers in the air... ♪

00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,Kia ora, Alexa.

00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,- So, what's the occasion?
- Well, it's a beautiful day ―

00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,why not?
- All right. I don't hate this.

00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,Now, Harry Henare. You lure me here
on the pretence of wanting to spend
time with me―

00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:45,I always wanna spend
time with you, Alexa.

00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,...when actually you
want help with a case.

00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,You can't tell me you
didn't suspect as much.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,You know, I was perfectly happy
at home, with my cat, baking bread.

00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,Riveting.

00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,Griff Springfield ―

00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,tennis pro and coach at the
super-posh Kingston Racquets Club.

00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,Is that a pod of dolphin I see?

00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,He was found dead on the court,
killed by a malfunctioning ball
launcher.

00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,He was hit quite a few times.

00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,- Tennis-ball launcher?
- Yep.

00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,- Why didn't he just run?
- Exactly.

00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,Cause of death was a massive
aneurysm from a one-in-a-million
shot to the base of the skull.

00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,No witnesses, of course.
He was found first thing

00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,by assistant coach Callum Armstrong.

00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,Callum has his own
swipe card for entry,

00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,but the system shows he didn't
activate it until that morning.

00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,Forensics place time
of death about 10pm.

00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,So as far as we can tell, Griff was
definitely at the club on his own.

00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,Well, then, case closed ―
the ball launcher's guilty.

00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,You really think one of those
things can deliver a tennis ball
so fast,

00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,it becomes lethal?
- You know, I haven't
given it much thought.

00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,Coroner thinks so.

00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,They're calling it a freak accident.

00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,Now's the time when you ask
about the grieving widow ―

00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,one Verity Springfield.
- Now, why would I do that?

00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,Because three weeks
before her husband died,

00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,she hired a private investigator
to spy on him.

00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,To see if he was cheating. Was he?

00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,PI didn't find anything. But it's
the thought that counts, right?

00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,So unhappy marriage and
a suspicious wife. Yeah.

00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,Yeah. Yeah, OK.

00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,OK ― you'll take it?

00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,You know, Harry,...

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,I'm super-flattered that
you'd go to all this trouble,

00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,when you could have just said killed
by his own tennis-ball launcher.

00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,True.

00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,So, does this
Verity have an alibi?

00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,- Shall we take a look?
- Yes.

00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,Let's.

00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,Captions by Faith Hamblyn.

00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,Captions were made with
the support of NZ On Air.

00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,If you have to hire a PI to spy on
your partner,

00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,then you've clearly g***t the
answer you're looking for.
- Which is?

00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,That you're in a loveless marriage
and devoid of trust.

00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,Oh wow. The PI is
super-glam. Look.

00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,Christine Knox, a discreet
investigator who will give you back
your peace of mind.

00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,Specialises in exposing infidelity

00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,and also offers teenager
surveillance for worried parents.

00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,Stalking your own kid ― uncool.

00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,Whoa. How much for a stakeout?

00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,Reports and photographs are extra.
Who can afford to hire this woman?

00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,Do you wanna find out?

00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,Oh.

00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,Uh, Verity Springfield?

00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,I told those
boys to lock the gates.

00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,- My name is Alexa Crowe.
- God,

00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,how many of you are there?
- There's definitely
only one of Alexa.

00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,Oh, she'd like to think so,
but they're all the same ―

00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,Desperate Housewives come
to tell me about your

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,special relationship
with my husband.

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,- Actually, I never met your husband.
- Me neither.

00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,I'm a friend of the police. I help
them out with their inquiries.

00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,And I help her with her inquiries.

00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,Well, I've been advised not to
say anything more to the police.

00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,- From your lawyer?
- My private investigator.

00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,She says it's only a matter of time
before they become lazy and point
the finger back atme.

00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,No one's pointing any fingers,
Verity ― we just wanna ask some
questions.

00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,Well, you needn't worry ―
Christine has sworn to find
the person who killed Griff.

00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,So you do think your
husband was killed.

00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,Care to speculate on who?
- If I had any ideas,

00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,I'd tell them to her, not to you.

00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,What's up with the excavator?
Are you digging up the tennis court?

00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,It's going to make a
lovely topiary garden.

00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,Well, nothing says
moving on quite like

00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,digging up your dead
husband's tennis court.

00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,Well, what can I say?
We all grieve in our own ways.

00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,We all grieve in our own way ―

00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,she's grieving like somebody
who does not give a toss.

00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,She's certainly carrying
a lot of resentment.

00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,So, where to now?
Famous Christine Knox PI?

00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,- Why?
- Well, she's been working the case;

00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,she might have some
leads to save us time.

00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,- Um...
- Or we could go to the tennis club,
check out the murder weapon.

00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,That's a much better idea.

00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,I'm sure we'll meet
Christine Knox soon enough.

00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,Hi. Hi, can I help?

00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,Oh, hi. Yes, uh, we were
looking for a new summer sport,

00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,and a friend told me that Kingston
Racquets is an absolute delight.

00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,- Are you the coach here?
- Yeah, sure **. Callum Armstrong.
- Alexa. Madison.

00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,Well, it is a great club,
great facilities and good coaching.

00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,- If you do say so yourself.
- Well, I just took
over as head coach,

00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,and we're making some changes,
instigating a more positive culture.

00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,Oh, positivity's good.
Mind if we look around?

00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,Help yourself, and just shout
out if you have any questions.

00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,Bound to. Thanks.

00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,Here's the culprit.

00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,The Tennis Tutor Plus.

00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,OK.

00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,Maximum speed ―

00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,110km.
- I guess that could pack a punch.

00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,Big enough to cause a lethal blow?

00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,- Maybe we should ask Christine.
- OK, look, what I said in the car ―

00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,I wasn't suggesting that
Christine knew more than us.

00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,No, I meant, we should ask
Christine. She's over there
on the bench.

00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,Followed us all the
way from Verity's.

00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,I'm sorry ―
Christine's spying on us?

00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,Seems like it.
Let's give her a shot.

00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,In fact, let's see how lethal
the Tennis Tutor really is.

00:06:43,560 -->...
