01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Colby: Of all the swabs
that were submitted,

how many came from ms Lawson?



Did you test any swabs
from Nathan Spears' home?

The evidence focused
on Kate Lawson.

We'll be moving Nathan
Spears up the witness list.

You didn't Mark my essay.

If you want to appeal the grade,
you have to go through the school.

I don't need you
to keep checking in.

We're f*cked.

They got the
spermiogram results back.

Gold medal swimmers.

Yeah!

She had really bad
mood swings, didn't she?

Did she ever get a diagnosis?

Therapy is for white people.

Thank you very much.

Is there any reason
Jamie can't pick them up?

Gabby's just going to
help out for a little bit.

You know that Gabby just
wants to get in your pants, right?

Jamie, that's not true.
You want her in your pants?

The defence are pointing out

the police failure to investigate
Claire Spears' father, Nathan.

Why are you this calm?

I've got nothing to hide.

[Theme music]

Thank you, Sonia.
That was delicious.

We've got something
special with dessert.

Phone.

The meal's not finished yet.

I was nice to your put tan a,
now give me my phone.

Just wait till after
the surprise, please?

Claire,

I know this has
been hard for you,

but we think you're going to be

the best big sister any
baby could wish for.

A baby.

Wow.

I had a feeling you
were up the duff,

not drinking wine
with your lunch.

I don't even miss it.

That's fine, dad
can drink for two.

When are you due?

March.

We wanted you to
be the first to know.

What if you do one of those tests
and it's got too many chromosomes?

You know, 'cause
you're not that young.

It's a bit of a myth.

Oh, did you weed the dud
ones out through a test tube?

We didn't do ivf.

Can I have my phone?

I should let mum know.

That can wait.

Yeah, you're right, I should
just book her into the clinic.

You know, 18 days
after your wedding.

How long do you
reckon this one will be?

You know, it's funny, just all those
years saying no to a second child

and what, now you're raw
dogging wife number two...

[Shouts] That's enough!

Enough!

You make me wanna vomit!

Darling,

it'll be ok.

I'm their reasonable doubt.

What? Her defence
needs reasonable doubt.

I'm their best
chance of getting it.

What if I get a detail wrong
on the stand tomorrow?

My love, you are not
the one on trial, ok?

[Theme music]

Jamie: Alice, did you
remember your library bag?

Alice: Yeah.

Hey, did my alarm not go off?

Your boss sent you
another ten emails.

Yeah, I'm being cc'd.

That's just to keep
me in the loop.

Hey. Hey, hey,
hey, what's wrong?

You don't love dad anymore.

What? No, that's not true.

That is not true at all.

Come on, we don't
want to be late. In you go.

I'll come and join you
at swimming, after work.

Clearly, you're not coping
very well by yourself,

so I think it's probably
easier if I'm there, yeah?

[Car door closes]

And I've told you, I don't want
your boss collecting the children.

Ok?

Have a great day
at school, guys.

Jamie: Seatbelts on.

Love you.

Love you. Bye.

Jamie: Let's go.

[Car engine starts]

Yeah, luiz alvez.

Hospital employee: Ok.

He...

He passed away
in intensive care.

Hospital employee:
Are you able to give me

the date he passed away, please?

It was Friday.

Hospital employee: And can I
confirm that you're a family member?

Yeah, yeah.

Hospital employee:
Oh, I'm so sorry.

And what was your name, please?

Turn and face the judge.

Do you swear by almighty god

that the evidence that you
shall give will be the truth,

the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth?

If so, please say 'i do'.

I do.

Thank you for
joining us, mr Spears.

So, before you
studied architecture,

you went to art school
with the accused, correct?

That's right, yes.

And through knowing Kate
Lawson, you met her sister, Diane.

I did, yes.

I married her. Bloom: And
was it a happy marriage?

Yes, it was, initially.

Very.

Bloom: Were you always faithful?

No.

I regret that I
did have an affair.

Bloom: But despite this, you
tried to repair the marriage, yes?

Of course, we both did.

For the sake of our
daughter, for Claire.

And afterwards, I was proud

because, you know, we tried
even harder as two divorced parents.

I appreciate that
this is difficult for you,

so if you're able,

talk to us about the challenges that
you had with your daughter, Claire.

Claire was the brightest,
kindest, most loving child.

She was everything a
parent could have wished for.

And then...

She changed.

[Clears throat] Under...

...Kate's influence, she
became rude, rebellious.

It was as if her innocence
had just been ripped away.

Night and day.

[Knock on door]

Claire, it's dinner, love.

I've got your phone.

Claire.

What the f*ck?

Claire!

Claire!

Sonia!

Sonia: What is it?

She's gone. Oh, god.

Right, call her friends.

You can start with am it a
and that dead sh*t, Blake.

Diane? No.

Not till we have to.

Claire!

[Intense sombre music]

[Cellphone dings]

It's ok. She's had a long walk.

She's had a big cry.

She's taken herself to bed.

She tell you what upset her?

Oh, yeah.

Diane's gonna be gutted.

You can't tell her, not yet.

[Scoffs] You know
she's gonna find out...

Yeah, I know she's
gonna find out.

She just seems to be
in a really good place.

Ok? She's got
weekends with Claire,

she's back at work.

You do know you're the only
person I can say all this to.

You know that, right?

Come on, let's have a drink.

Hm?

Does Diane know about this?

They're just reference photos.

And what exactly
are you exhibiting?

I mean...

She looks like she's
been strangled in this.

[Laughs]

Oh, I seem to recall a grad show

where seven different artists
used your c*ck in their work.

Yeah, well I was 20, Kate.

Right, she's a child.

Claire is an artist.

That work is as much
hers as it is mine.

That is bullshit.

Bullshit.

You're manipulating her.

And I can't let you do this.

I think you underestimate just
how much of you there is in Claire.

Hm?

We both got caught
in your web, Kate.

And that's what happens.

And I don't make
any apology, at all,

for trying to keep my
daughter away from her.

The thing is, I
never trusted Kate.

Ever.

Why not?

Well, at the
start, and this is...

This is not a secret.

Her photography was seen
as a kind of therapy for a...

For a very troubled mind...

Objection.

Judge muir: Mr Spears,
you must stick to the facts.

This is not an opportunity
for you to speculate,

or dare I say, critique
the accused's artworks.

Do you understand? Yes.

Sorry, I understand.

Bloom: Thank you, your hon our.

So, you mentioned that Claire
was a part of Kate Lawson's artwork.

Did she ever share with you
what it was that she was doing?

Well, I saw it for myself.

I mean, she was just
forced to grow up too fast.

She was manipulated
into situations

she didn't have the
maturity to understand.

And she was taken
along to adult parties.

She was plied with alcohol.

She was a prop in
morbid, sexual artworks.

And what were you able to do

to shield Claire from
these adult experiences?

Well at that point, I
didn't have any influence.

She responded to Kate's
obsessions, all of them.

They were extreme,
very disturbing ideas.

Choking herself.

And all that was...

Was online.

The images. The...

Sorry.

And what did you
do to protect her?

I asked my ex-wife to intervene.

I begged her to keep our
daughter away from Kate Lawson.

Act like a mother,

and not allow our daughter to be
groomed by some sexual predator.

You're a liar.
You're a f*cking liar.

Mr Colby, please remind
your client where she is.

Colby: Your hon our.

[Soft sombre music]

It's not personal.

When he tells the court how you
handed Claire over to that woman.

He's just telling the truth.

First time for everything.

I ask myself, how could any
mother abandon her child like that?

You'll never know.

Vanessa: Hey.

We broke late, and I still
have to get back by 1:30.

It's all good.

Chill, mama.

She's running a bit late anyway.

Ah, sorry, this thing
always mucks up.

Anyway.

Where were we?

Six months.

Jay's pathology clear.

We can unfreeze the sperm.

Great!

Oh, that's wonderful.

So, are we going
to do pgd or pgs?

Pre-implantation
genetic diagnosis.

Full genetic work-up
of you and the donor,

plus blood samples from you
and your close family members.

Is there something
in your family?

Cystic fibrosis,
muscular dystrophy?

I don't know.

No.

I'm the one with
the fertility issues.

Let's start the fsh, and you
can decide before harvesting.

So...

...Just need your autograph.

Cool.

Corrie: Yeah, absolutely.
Sydney's actually pretty similar.

Can I ask you a favour?

Yes.

You have this little habit of
breathing out through your nose.

I beg your pardon!

It just gets really
distracting in court.

You know, when you scoffed,
the witness actually looked over.

You have no idea what
I'm thinking in court.

Everything alright here?

You seem a bit...
Yes, fine, thank you.

I'm doing my best
in this process.

So best you all mind
your own blinking beeswax.

Let me get on with it.

['Dance monkey' by
tones and I playing]

Mr Spears, when did you
become aware of this video?

The night of the disappearance.

She posted it on Instagram.

Hey, have a look at this. Quick.

Have a look at what
Kates's letting her do.

[On phone] Claire:
You sure you're ready?

Because I'll have to impose
a penalty shot if you're not.

I'm gonna go get her.

Hey.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I'm ok.

Are you sure? Ok,
it's mild cramps.

Doctor Google says it's normal.

I can stay here if you
want me to stay here.

Look, I...

I don't think this is too bad.

They're doing vodka shots,
for Christ's sake, Sonia, alright.

If the school sees this,
she's gonna be suspended.

That's what's
gonna happen. Yeah.

Look, I'll go get her, I'll
come back, I'll look after you.

Alright? I've just
gotta go get her.

Yeah, ok. No, that's ok.

I'm ok.

Go.

Ok.

Where was the last time
that you saw your daughter?

At Kate Lawson's house.

Bloom: And what prompted you

to go to the house of
the accused that night?

She was drinking,

and I was scared of what
Kate might make Claire do,

once she was disinhibited.

What were you thinking,
posting that sh*t online?

Bloom: So, you were
concerned for her welfare?

Yes. Stop stalking me.

You're coming home with me, now.

She was under Kate's spell, so
she would have agreed to anything.

Get up!

Don't f*cking touch me!

Fetish gear, sexual
transgression,

porno poses.

What did you do once you
arrived at the accused's that night?

I tried to convince Claire to
come with me, to come home.

What are you on about?

I saw it. Get off me!

Come with me. Get in the car.

Bloom: And why didn't she?

She told me that she
had a commitment to Kate,

that they were planning to
complete a photographic series,

and there was one
last image to sh**t.

[Indistinct arguing]

You know what, dad?

Don't f*cking come back!

Hey... No, don't.

Claire, get back in the car.

Piss off! Claire,
get back in the car!

What the f*ck do
you think you're doing?

And what are you doing, right?

You're letting them drink

and then brag about it
on social f*cking media?

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Grow up! I wasn't
doing anything...

Claire get back in the car!

Don't speak to her that way,
and don't speak to me that way.

What did you tell her?

What did you tell her?

I haven't told her anything.

That's a f*cking lie.

We'll talk about
this later, alright?

Not here.

I can't f*cking
believe you said that.

It was Kate who
actually stopped me.

Look, I know how to
care for my daughter,

but it's difficult to
be the disciplinarian

when you have this free
spirit who doesn't listen to rules.

Kate was acting possessive.

She was totally
obsessed with Claire.

It was Kate who pushed me away,

and I will always regret

that I didn't convince my daughter
to get away from her that night.

After you left, did you have any
further contact with your daughter?

I didn't see my daughter again.

Bloom: That's all, your hon our.

[Sombre music]

Alice: Mum!

It's toy time in the big pool!

It's not too deep if
you come in with me.

I have to stay. I've got
to look after Marcus.

Please?

Maybe your dad...

Maybe your dad
can go in with you.

I'm not scared.

You're not scared? Come on.

Ok. Let's go.

Gabby's over there.

Gabby?

What's your boss doing here?

Please, mum, those giant slide,

there's so many sharks!

I don't know.

I don't know.
Marcus, are you cold?

Dad, let's go. Just wait!

Did you tell her we were
coming to the pool today?

I don't know who I told.

Jamie, I come here all
the time with the kids.

I don't know which one of
my colleagues knows that.

She just wants to perve on you.

Come on, who's brave enough?

Jamie?

This is going to be so much fun!

Jamie: Hey, hey. Wait, wait.

Just slow down.

Wait there.

Gabby: Hi!

Children: Hi! Marcus: Hi, Gabby.

Funny coincidence.

Jamie: Is it?

A coincidence?

What? Georgina: Jamie.

Why did you come
to the pool today?

I swim laps here.

Oscar: Dad, it's started!

Can we go now, please?

No, not without supervision.

Please? I said, no.

Hey, are you guys...
Are you hungry?

Do you want to get a snack?

Yeah? Ok.

Have you had the
chippies at the cafe?

Children: Chippies!

Let's do that, alright? Come
on, let's get some chippies.

Gabby can come with us.

Let's do that.

Hey.

Thanks, Gabby.
Here's some sauce.

I have to congratulate
you, George.

Hr have nominated
you for a salmon award.

[Scoffs]

What on earth is that?

Georgina and Gabby:
Salmon swim upstream.

Snap!

It's our incentive award.

Well, my wife here is certainly
good at swimming against the current.

[Whispers] Come on.

Oh, you know there's
something else that she's good at.

Something that she's
really, very good at.

Hey, Jamie, just
give it a break, hey?

Please.

Blowjobs.

She gives excellent blowjobs.

I'm gonna see you at work.

See you, kids.

Oscar: Bye, Gabby!
Alice: Bye, Gabby!

Jamie, that's my
boss, for f*ck sake.

What?

Baby, if there was
a prize for that,

you would blow the
competition out of the water.

Just don't... It was a joke.

...Thank you. What? George...

George, come on.

Flip: What are you doing?

For the widow. What?

We're giving it to her.

Hey, you listen to me, right?

He's the one who chose not to
wear that harness on the scaffold.

Us moving him didn't
change that, Lex.

The cause of death was...

The cause of death was the
brain injury, not the bleeding.

Well, how do you know that?

How do you know
the cause of death?

One of the union reps.

You told me to
keep my mouth shut.

Now you're off blabbing
to f*ck knows who?

We left that man for dead, flip.

We did that, right?

And you're worried about
some f*cking money?

It's not the f*cking
money, Lex, alright?

This is about our family.

[Shouts] And what
about his family?

What about his family, flip?

They deserve something.

We don't even know her name.

Yeah, we'll find it out.

Why don't you start
with the union rep?

Jarrod: Scholarship office?

I've got an appointment
with Brian hancock?

Bryce.

Yeah, right, Bryce hancock.

Yeah, his parents
didn't like him either.

[Chuckles]

I'll be a minute. Cool.

Easy, thank you.

Sorry, I was in
court, and the buses...

Take a seat.

I've got a couple of minutes.

Cool.

Ok, so that's my charge sheet.

Yeah, we've suspended
your scholarship, is that right?

Because I didn't hand in
my essay, and I was arrested.

That's proof.

Well, I imagine you'll
get back pay. Take a seat.

Cops just can't wander around
arresting students for no reason.

I got in contact
with your tutor...

She's got it in for me, and
she didn't listen to my excuse.

Well, did you
listen to her? Yes.

I just wanted you to
have the full picture

and that is that I did nothing
wrong, and it was a wrongful arrest.

Yeah. Can you
please take a seat?

You told me this would
take a couple of minutes.

So can you just take your two
minutes to call the administration

and confirm that my
essay will be marked

once the appeal
process is complete?

How about I look into it, hey?

How about I make a complaint
to the education department, hey?

And how about I get paid
the scholarship money

that you stopped
for a bullshit reason?

Well as I said...

And how long will
back pay take... Look.

Jarrod, the terms of the Stewart
scholarship are pretty strict.

You could transfer to
an indigenous scholarship

where they'll have more experience
with these sorts of issues...

Sorry.

Are you scared of me?

I agreed to look
into it, didn't I?

You think I'm gonna hit you.

You should leave.

sh*t, you brought
the posh stuff.

Yeah, Jay claims domestic
gives him a headache.

Yeah, I think that's
quantity, not quality.

Here's cheers to the mummas.

Cheers to the papas.
Vanessa: Papas.

Adam and Vanessa:
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes!

Adam: There's nothing
wrong with public schools.

Jay: Oh, yeah, Vanessa
and I went to one.

Yeah, especially if the kid
gets into a selective one.

Oh, piss off.

We had an amazing
time, didn't we ness?

Yeah. I mean, what if the
baby has my attention span?

There's the risks
though. Oh, my lord.

This thing's not even conceived
yet, you boys already want a prefect.

Yeah. Money doesn't buy you guys

more sway. Just so you know.

Adam: Of course! We know.

Nessie, no one was saying that.

Jay: Paying for the
education is just...

Yeah, we want to... To help.

And with the medical
expenses... Because we can.

Yeah, it's just an offer.
It's just a safety net.

We know, we know. It's generous.

That's why we spent the time.

We wrote this
up. Yeah, it's just...

Our agreement.

...A contract's not really
enforceable by law, that's all.

Hun. But communicating
our intentions

and responsibilities helps.

I loved doing that.

To articulate the parents
we wanna be, it's...

...Some parents,
they just have a kid

but don't plan or
don't even want it.

Adam: Yeah, they're
called heterosexuals.

Well, we go to all
this effort because of...

Logistics.

Because the kid is
wanted, so wanted.

We are about to do this thing.

It's f*cking exciting.

You're feeling different
or something, Vanessa?

You don't know how I feel.

Ok.

I guess I just want some reassurance
because we've spent all this money.

Money?

No. Come on, not just money.

I mean emotionally...
No, no, no.

You said money.

Hey, I'm not having a go, ok?

I'm just speaking
my needs too, yeah?

Because I've got
the most at risk here.

I'm not on the birth
certificate, so what am I,

just some guncle
that can be... No.

Zoe: Adam.

Yeah, well I just feel undecided
about the birth certificate.

That's all.

What? Why?

Well two mums is the
normal way, it goes now.

Normal? What's normal?

We're g*y. I just mean by law.

Didn't we talk this through?
I thought I was on it.

You said.

I'm completely secure
in my place in all this.

Really.

I don't need to be
on the birth certificate.

We worked this out ages
ago. That was my choice.

That was my offer...
This is my call.

Ok?

It's my womb.

That is the only
law that matters.

Actually.

Hun.

Ooh, I'm now a bit drunk.

Are we a bit drunk? I'm a bit...

Can we help clean up?

'Cause I've gotta
work in the morning...

No, you should just go.
We've got this under control.

[Tense music]

Before the night of 14 September,
how many times did Claire run away?

Claire didn't run away.

Kate Lawson k*lled her.

How many times?

Claire ran away from
Diane three or four times.

[Distant coughing]

She never ran away from me.

But on the weekend of 14 August,

you signed her out of the
boarding house at school,

and Kate Lawson
signed her back in.

If she didn't run away from
you, how did she get to Kate's?

So, I allowed her to go.

Why?

You're under oath, mr Spears.

Because my wife was unwell.

[Distant coughing]

What was the first thing you
said when the police contacted you

about Claire's disappearance?
What was the first thing?

I told them that I feared

that Kate had done
something terrible.

No, no, no. I have the
statement right here.

I said to the police that I
thought Kate had k*lled her.

Now that's
interesting, isn't it?

Even though Claire had
run away three or four times,

at least, by your admission

you immediately assumed

that she was dead.

I feared that, yes.

Yes. Now mr Spears,
who is Daisy Curtis?

She doesn't exist.
I made her up.

Mr Spears, did you
create the following?

Daisy Curtis' tiktok account?

Yes. Daisy Curtis'
Instagram account?

Yes.

And did you befriend your
daughter under this guise?

You a parent?

Mr Spears, I really would
answer the questions,

for your own sake.

Thank you, mr
Colby, I'll ensure that.

Yes, your hon our.

Now mr Spears, did
you pose as Daisy Curtis

and encourage your
daughter, and other young girls,

to follow you? I pinched
some of her followers.

That was because I wanted Claire

to think it was
convincing, authentic.

To deceive her. That's
what we're talking about here.

Yes.

But it didn't matter
that my followers

were other young girls.

Did you pinch from the Internet,

multiple images of a particular
young girl and rename her Daisy?

Yes.

That's me being her
father. Being a parent.

Answer the question
please, mr Spears.

There were some
images I found, yes.

Sheriff, could you
show the images please?

[Distant coughing]

Did you select this profile pic?

Yes, I did.

Mm. What made you choose her?

Did you find her an
appealing sort of girl?

No! Attractive...

Objection! How is that relevant?

Yes, stick to the
point, mr Colby.

Yes, your hon our.

Now you regarded yourself

as the disciplinarian
of your daughter, right?

No. Well, we could
check the transcript.

I believe you described
yourself exactly that

to my learned
friend just yesterday.

Were you ever physical in
your reprimanding of Claire?

No, I wasn't.

And yet on that last night,

you grabbed her and dragged
her to the car, did you not?

This is what Kate has told you.

We've all seen
the cctv, mr Spears.

Well, she likes to
stretch the truth.

Now, I will stop you there...
That's what criminals do.

The jury will disregard
mr Spears' last comment.

Mr Spears, you must answer
the questions put to you.

Go ahead.

I was no more hands
on than any other...

...Caring, very worried father.

Are you worried, mr Spears,

that your lies are beginning
to catch up with you?

Objection!

Simon: Oh, he's
obviously not perfect.

You know, he's made his
mistakes, and overprotective and that.

You know, I get
it. But he's a father.

At the end of the day, he's
a dad who's lost his child.

Posing as a little girl.

Bit creepy, don't
you think, guys?

I tell you what, I
say to my daughter,

"you know, once
that stuff is out there,

"you've lost it forever."

You know, dancing online in a...

I don't know, a
bikini or whatever.

Employers will look
at their accounts.

That's the world now.

Of course you have to
monitor them. Of course.

You do you, but I
think privacy is privacy.

Yeah, ok. Even for kids.

But you can say that
you wouldn't do it,

but when you're worried
about the welfare of a child...

You're risking them
never trusting you again.

It's not right.

What do you think?

Ah...

...Well I...

...I don't really know
what's gonna happen

when my daughter's older.

It's not about us. It's
about Nathan Spears

and what he'd do.

The guy's unhinged.

You can see it. We
all saw his temper.

And he clearly has a
thing for younger girls.

Oh, what? And for Kate.

Oh, come off it.
Hey! I see what I see.

A m*rder*r?

Reckon he could have?

More than Kate, yes.

In here, in this room...

...You can't just throw
around these comments.

Jarrod: Isn't that
what we're here for?

If you are genuinely concerned

about what this
Nathan is capable of...

Well, maybe I am.

Yeah, same. I
think he's deranged.

If you have even an inkling

that he could have
committed this crime...

He's not on trial.

He's not.

Go on, man.

That's reasonable doubt.

You're speaking
about reasonable doubt.

We'd be obliged to acquit.

[Tense music]

Oh!

Well, the defence barrister's
mr happy pants today, wasn't he?

He's certainly got
tickets on himself.

Ooh, what have you got there?

Your wife make it?

She used to.

I wish I could ask her
the trick to this recipe.

It's um...

Well, it looks very delicious.

You wanna try some?

Oh, no, I wasn't
angling for that.

No! Come on.

Have a bite. Oh, alright.

Mm!

Mm! Aren't you clever?

Oh, delicious!

Must be getting close, then.

Nearly got it right.

Oh, it's beautiful.
What about you?

What have you got there?
I've got a salad sandwich.

Colby: That last night, after
you argued with your daughter

and dragged her to the car,

where'd you go after that?

Nathan: I went to the movies.

And I provided the
police with a ticket stub.

So, you can't have
been that concerned?

I go to the movies
to keep myself calm.

Do you always keep the stubs
when you go to the cinema?

No, probably not.

And what did you
do after the cinema?

I went home to my
wife and went to bed.

Do you have a boat licence?

Yes. Do you have
access to a boat?

I borrow a friend's. And
where's it moored, this boat?

It's moored in middle
harbour Marina.

Mm. Now, what did you and
Claire argue about, exactly,

that last night in the car?

About her drinking.

About the stuff that
she was posting online,

about the inappropriate things
that Kate was allowing her to do.

Claire insisted on
staying with her aunt

against your direct orders.
Did that make you angry?

It was annoying. Annoying?

You stayed away from home
for several hours to calm down.

Were you angry enough

to want to continue
this fight with Claire?

I never saw Claire again.

Were you angry enough
to borrow a friend's boat

and take it to the jetty

at the rear of Kate
Lawson's property?

I never went back to
Kate Lawson's property.

But did you go to a
nearby jetty or Marina

to continue the
argument... Objection.

Mr Spears has answered the
question. Judge muir: I'll allow it.

No. I didn't.

But she had defied
your authority.

She betrayed you
in favour of her aunt

and you were determined
to fight for your daughter.

I'm still fighting
for my daughter.

Where is Claire, mr Spears?

I don't know.

To be clearer,

what did you do with her body

after you left the
Marina that night?

If you are implying that I
have harmed my daughter,

then there is a special
place in hell for you, sir.

Mr Spears... Kate Lawson...

...k*lled my daughter.

[Tense music]

Just get to the point, flip.

Did you get her name?

Yeah, yes. We'll do it
together, I swear to god.

Just tell me her name.

Carla.

Ok, good. What about an address?

Mate, I gotta, I gotta go.
Yeah, I'll see you after court.

Yep, yeah, I hear
you. Yep. Ok, bye.

How much of that
did you just hear?

All of it.

Why, was it something I
wasn't supposed to hear?

No, maybe I was organising
a date with another woman.

Really?

That sounds fun.

Can I come?

That might complicate things.

Maybe I like complicated.

We can do better than this.

Mm.

Tonight?

Mm.

Hey.

Hey. I think we've
earned a drink.

Let's go to the royal. I
would love to, but I can't.

Ollie is in the semis
debating at a grammar.

Ah, here's my car. I'll see
you. See you in the morning.

Hi, darling.

Yes, I am running
late. I know, again.

As I've said, I just...

...Just be calm.
You've done your prep,

you trust your
teammates. It's...

Ah, yeah. No, I'm so...

...Like I said, I'm really
happy to give him a lift as well.

Look, I'm in the tunnel now,
so I'll be home in a minute.

Alright, I love you.

Pull over. Why?

I can't. We're in a tunnel.

Yes, I can see that, but you...

...Why did you pick me up?

It was a...

...A different name.

Ah, Lucy...

Warren. Warren.

Warren, yes. It's
my married name.

You know, this could
cause a mistrial?

There is actually
nothing in the jury act

about incidental contact.

You've read the jury act?

I'm a lawyer.

Well, I was a lawyer.

In mosul.

Right up until,
!sis took the city.

Of course.

My wife and child...

...Son...

...They're still in Iraq.

Until I get them here, I
can't afford to stop working,

study, get the
Australian qualification.

Yes, I understand.

And you're right, we're in a
tunnel and I'm running late,

so we can keep, I suppose.

We won't talk about the trial.

We don't have to
talk about anything.

[Birds chirping]

You left early this morning.

Didn't get to talk to
you about last night.

I can't believe the boys. Adam
is such a privileged d*uche bag.

You completely sideswiped him.

Me?

They were the ones
swinging their dicks around,

to sabotage everything.

No, it's you,
putting it at risk.

All of it.

We are in this.

Babe, we are deep in this.

Yeah, we're in the
logistics of it, but you know.

No, I don't know.

I don't.

What's this change?

'Cause I tell you what
else you're putting at risk.

Us.

So, this f*cking trial, it...

I need you to know that it's...

...That it's making me see
some things about my...

That's bullshit.

You do this.

You're avoidant.

You make excuses
when something matters.

You deflect.

But we have been
through so much.

Don't do it again, babe.

Don't do it again.

[Tense music]

You really think I'd do that?

Yeah, I do, actually.

It's a plagiarism investigation.

I regard your writing that
highly, do I, that I think it's stolen?

Well, someone does.

Who else have you pissed off?

Just some pen-pusher
in administration.

There's an appeals process.

That'll take ages. My scholarship's
already on hold because of...

Can you help me, please?

You understand
how this stuff works,

and I don't get it.

It could be an error.

They run all essays
through plagiarism programs.

You see? You understand
how the system works here.

Actually, I do.

But there are rules about
not attending classes

and not handing in assignments.

The arrest affected me more
than what I thought it would.

You're a smart kid.

Put your head down. Do the work.

Right.

For you.

Thank you. Alright.

Dad says this stuff's unhealthy.

Ah, dad doesn't have time to
cook, so mum gets to choose.

I already have a hat.

Ok. Can you please
carry Alice's hat, then?

Thank you. Ohh!

Oh! Oh, my goodness!

Hang on, did one of you guys
put bricks in these bags, is it?

Not me. Are you
sure? 'Cause, oh!

I don't know.

Can't seem to lift
them off the ground.

I think we're gonna have to
eat dinner on the driveway.

Let me try. You can try?

Ok.

How are you so strong?

What? That's crazy!

Thank you, I wouldn't have
been able to do that without you.

That's incredible.

You alright with this?
I think ours is heavy.

Definitely heavier.

I'm stronger!

Hey, monsters!

All: Daddy!

Hey.

Jamie, can...

Can you take your feet
off the table, please?

Come on, the kids
aren't allowed to do that.

Hey, Alice?

Come here, sweetie.

Who picked you up
from school today?

Hey, look at
me. It's bad to lie.

Gabby, alright?

I told you I can't
get there in time.

Can you start dinner?

Can you set the table? It's
gonna be ready pretty quick.

Thank you.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Did the lady really
m*rder a child?

We don't really know.

If you don't know,

the lady might go
to jail for nothing.

That's why there's 12 of us.

So, if we all do our very best

and we all try really hard,

then hopefully, we'll
make the right decision.

[Beeping]

Dinner time, boys.

Ok, finally.

Would you like some salad?

Yeah.

There you go.

Would you boys like some salad?

Yep? Mm-hmm.

Alright, for you.

It's ok, eat your dinner.

[Tense music]

It's ok.

[Tense music]

Hey. Hey.

I thought you were
going to go to bed?

Yeah, yeah, soon.

Back rub, hmm?

Mm-hmm. Can you not?

I just don't feel
like being rubbed.

[Tense music]

Righto.

Claire did run away
from here, Nathan.

[Tense music]

Look...

...It was just easier

not having to explain
our private information.

What else are you lying about?

What else are you lying about?

I'm not lying about anything.

Anything.

Did you really go to the movies?

[Tense music]

[Dramatic music]

f*ck!

[Dramatic music]
