01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

Kate: They're gonna
be in my house.

How did you let that happen?

You're getting outplayed.

You know this could
cause a mistrial?

There's actually
nothing in the jury act

about incidental contact.

My wife and son
are still in Iraq.

[Screaming]

What? What is it?

Sweetheart, hey, what happened?

Dad!

Simon: What the hell
were you thinking, Ava?

What about your
boyfriend being there?

He's a guy you're
not seeing anymore.

We had an ill*gal
labourer on site.

He fell. He died
a few hours later.

I think we k*lled him.

What do you think about
having your entire debt cleared?

What about the banker?

Can you put pressure on him?

Knocking people off the jury
was not part of the agreement.

Ripley! Zeus!

It all just happened so fast...

I have photographs
of Alice's arm.

f*cking stop! No! No!

You need to leave immediately.

What happened? Jamie's angry.

He's punishing me. You
should just stay at mine.

Claire was upset because
she'd found something out.

Claire told me her father
was having an affair.

Colby: Who was he
having an affair with?

Kate.

I love that. I love that.

That's fantastic.

Can you make
it a little tighter?

Yeah, wait. With
your hand, a little bit.

Ok, stay in that
position. Claire: Yeah?

Yep, keep it tight. Yeah.

Wait. It has to look real.

That's great.

Try that one.

That should be fine.

We don't have to set out to
prove that Nathan k*lled Claire.

We just have to
convince the jury

that he had a motive to do so,

and therefore, give
them reasonable doubt.

But it does mean, I'm afraid,

leaning into your affair.

You sure you want to risk that?

Oh, the damage with
Diane is already done,

so I'll make it up
to her, sometime.

But I need to get
acquitted, first.

So you need to use
this to take Nathan down.

What I'm saying, Kate,

is recalling any witness without
due preparation is always dangerous.

But isn't it enough
that he lied?

To give the jury
reasonable doubt?

As long as the jury believe

that Nathan's the liar and not
Claire and the house mistress.

Then make them believe it.



We need to pack up.

I think I've found something.

Is it pertinent to
this testimony?

No.

But I think you need to look.

This is 12 minutes after
Kate left in her car with am it a.

Watch.

Is that a flash? Is
that a camera flash?

Ezekiel: Every ten
seconds, for six minutes.

Colby: So what do
you think? Is this Claire?

She was the only one there.

Welcome back, mr Spears.

Earlier in your evidence,

you said that you met
Kate Lawson at art school

before you met
her sister, Diane.

Is that correct? That's correct.

And you admitted an affair,

one affair, during your
marriage to Diane Spears.

Yes, I also said
that I regretted it.

Colby: Was that affair
with Kate Lawson?

Nathan: No.

Colby: Then who was it with?

Nathan: It was
with my wife, Sonia.

Colby: So you are a
liar and an adulterer.

Nathan: I'm not a liar.

Colby: Did you lie
to your wife, Diane,

about an affair with
your wife, Sonia?

Yes.

Colby: So you are
an adulterer and a liar.

That is established.

Can the witness be
shown exhibit a, please?

Now, mr Spears, you
will be shown the footage

of you attending ms Lawson's
house on the night of 14 September,

in response to the online video
Claire had posted that afternoon.

Now, here you are
seen dragging Claire

away from ms
Lawson's house, correct?

That's correct.

Colby: But here, Kate interrupts

and you are unable
to finish your argument.

That must have been
frustrating, was it not?

Well, we were both emotional.

I just decided to let it go.

Were you emotional
because Claire told you

she knew about your
affair with her aunt,

and she was threatening
to tell your wife?

No.

So what were you arguing about?

I just told her that Sonia
was losing the baby

that she was
carrying at the time.

Claire didn't want to come
home. She was uncomfortable.

She said she didn't know
what she would say to Sonia.

I told her she should come
home, but she refused.

Colby: That is not the evidence
that you gave before, is it?

No. So you perjured yourself.

Yes.

Colby: Why, then,
did you choose to lie?

Because as you can see,

my wife is in a
delicate condition again.

The loss of a baby
is a very private thing.

I didn't think it
was fair to expose it

when it wasn't relevant to
anyone else but myself and my wife.

It would cause her
too much distress.

But the fact remains
that you lied to this court

when you were under
oath to tell the truth.

And, when you were first
interviewed by the police,

your wife was not, then, in a
delicate condition, was she?

No.

So why did you
lie to the police?

Nathan: I'd lost two
children inside 24 hours.

By the time I was
interviewed about that footage,

our lives were spread
all over the news.

So if I chose to protect my wife

by keeping our personal tragedy
to myself, would you blame me?

I put it to you that your two
explanations are different

because they are
two different lies.

That's not true.

True, not true, those
are just words to a liar.

I know the difference.

I will ask you again, mr Spears.

Did you have a longstanding
affair with your sister-in-law,

the defendant, Kate Lawson?

No.

Claire's house mistress
said your daughter told her

you were having an
affair with her aunt.

Now, who's telling the lie?

Is it the house mistress?

No, I don't think so.

Is it Claire that's lying, then?

Claire lied about
a lot of things.

Now, is your
current wife wealthy?

Yes. Colby: She is. How is that?

Nathan: Her family are involved
in the Italian automotive industry.

Colby: So do you have
a prenuptial agreement

that states that if
you commit adultery

and the marriage
ends in divorce,

you forfeit any right to
a financial settlement?

Yes. But I haven't
committed adultery.

Look, the police had access to
my phone, to Kate's records, too.

You can check.
There was nothing.

No contact except about Claire.

Hand me a note.

And don't answer.

Mr Spears, are you aware that
there are apps on mobile phones

that allow you to send
messages that cannot be traced?

No.

Colby: So you don't know of...

Wick...

What is this, wick...

Wick...

I'm sorry, your hon our, there
seems to be a typographical...

Wickr. Wickr. Wickr.

So you are aware of this app.

I've heard of it.

Did you and ms
Lawson use the wickr app

to conduct a secret liaison
that could not be traced?

Nathan: No.

Then why is the wickr
app on your phone?

I don't know. I mean,
Claire may have uploaded it.

She did that
sometimes. I don't know.

Mr Spears, in the
course of a few moments,

you've accused your daughter,
your 14-year-old daughter,

of being a liar.

And now you're accusing her
of tampering with your phone.

Is it your intention
to use Claire,

who can't answer for
herself, to use Claire to cover

all the inconsistencies
in your evidence?

I'm not using Claire.

Now, since we've established

that you've lied to your
wife about your affairs,

and you've lied here under oath,

why should the jury believe
you are now telling the truth?

I lost my daughter,
thanks to Kate.

And by that, I mean
long before she died.

Why would I have an affair
with someone that I hated?

Colby: No more
questions, your hon our.

I have no further
questions, your hon our,

and that is the close
of the crown's case.

So do we think he was
actually having an affair with her?

Well, she must be
saying they were,

or the defence
wouldn't call him back.

It's a bit of a he
said, she said sitch.

Mm, people f*ck who
they hate all the time.

Exactly. And he's a gold-digger.

If they were having an affair,
they could be in it together.

Well, everything I
hear just makes me

more convinced
that she's guilty.

[Speaks foreign language]

Goodbye.

When's your wife get here?

She's getting on
a plane tomorrow.

She said just now to thank you
again for introducing us to Neil.

It's a miracle he
got us this far.

Oh, dude, you
just give me advice

for my appeal and we're square.

Tell me what you need.

Do you need a hand?

Oh, no thank you.

I can manage.

Simon: Tell her that she
can go, but with the girls only.

And be home by 11.

I'll um, I'll see you
tomorrow. Bye.

So the idea is that
you send them a letter,

threatening legal action.

Then you don't have to take
the action that you're threatening.

Got it. And plan
b is getting a job.

Get a ride share licence.

Then you have a job.

But no car.

When my wife gets
here, I give you my car.

You do night shifts.

Serious?

Well, yeah, I didn't
wait so long for this

and then going to spend my
evenings away from my family.

Use my car.

Alright.

I didn't miscarry until two days
after you went to the cinema.

So whatever you and
Claire fought about that night,

it wasn't the baby.

Nathan!

I lied for you.

Where were you that night?

You came home
from the cinema, late.

What the hell were you
thinking telling Claire about us?

If you think you can
abuse me, you can f*ck off.

Claire was guessing and it was your
reaction that gave everything away.

You know what?
You're not worth this.

You're not worth
losing Sonia over.

You let Claire say
whatever she likes.

We deny it, Nathan.

We deny it. We deny it!

No, you listen to me, right?

You don't fix this
and I lose Sonia,

then I swear to f*ck god, I am
gonna make your life hell, Kate.

Do you understand me?

You already make my life hell.

We make all of our lives hell.

You know what?

We're done.

For good.

You have told so many lies.

All I can do is promise.

Promise you I will never do
anything to hurt you again.

No more lies.

I don't know how many
more ways I can say it.

For you to take the stand
is the worst possible idea.

I don't even think I should
be listening to you anymore.

Ezekiel: Mr Colby's
protecting you.

Oh, is he Ezekiel?

Is that he hasn't called a
single witness to defend me?

I mean, maybe we should
have brought up my past.

Maybe then one of those jurors
would actually understand my art.

Maybe burying that
was a huge mistake.

We agreed on a strategy...

Look, Nathan is lying and
I want to speak for myself.

Kate, I strongly advise
you, do not testify.

As things stand now, we have a
very good shot at a not guilty verdict.

Please, stop pacing!

Now, on the
prosecution evidence,

they cannot dismiss the
idea that she just ran away.

It might make you feel
better to call Nathan a liar,

but if you take the stand,

you open yourself up to
cross-examination by the crown,

and if any juror on the fence

sees you as untrustworthy
under questioning,

that is the difference between
freedom and a lifetime in jail.

And if any juror still
sitting on the fence

sees me in a good light,

then that can make
a difference too, yes?

Can he stop me?

It's your choice.

Then I want to take the stand.

All: Mummy!

Hello, little cupcakes!

Why aren't you home?

You weren't home
last night, either.

I'm on a work trip.

Is daddy there?

Tell her I'm busy.

Whose bedroom is that?

Ok kids, chop-chop.
Dinner's on the table.

Come on. Say goodbye. Bye mummy.

Bye, mum.

Jamie: Off you
go. Bye, darlings.

Where are you?

I thought I told you
to stay in a hotel.

I am.

It would be very silly to lie
to me right now, Georgina.

Georgina: Please, just don't
start. I rang to speak to the kids.

Well, the children are eating.

Did you speak to the kids?

Yeah, they were
having dinner, so...

I might be going out on a limb
here and stating the obvious,

but you deserve better.

He doesn't hit me, if
that's what you're thinking.

I love him, garry.

He's not a bad person.

I just...

I just want my life back,
and my family together.

George, you're a catch.

And he treats you like
sh*t. Can't you see that?

Really, I mean,
you are a great bird.

I'll just be a minute.

Probably just this
package I'm expecting.

Where are my f*ck dogs?

Where are my f*ck dogs?

Hey, you'll get em,
but first things first.

Otto's flipping over the
affair with the brother-in-law.

How did it go down?

Not well for Kate.

Come on, man, my dogs?

Mate, Otto asked
you for full names

and details of the people
we should target, brother.

And so far, we've
gotten zip from ya.

Yeah, but you
know I can't do that.

The juror you're
shagging in there.

Which way is she
voting? Not guilty.

All the way.

sh*t's getting real, brother.

I don't want to take your
dogs for a little trip to the farm.

So just give me names, mate.

Names of the ones most
likely to be voting guilty.

Thanks.

Running late.

Where's the grumpy Princess?

Ah, she um, she didn't
come home last night.

What do you mean?
I said home by 11:00.

Yeah, well I didn't
hear her come in.

I thought she was just late,
but the bed's not slept in.

Have you called her?

Yeah, I tried.

She's not answering.
Her phone's off.

I called the girls and they said
she never made it to the movie.

Emily: I've tried the
boyfriend. No answer.

Sorry.

Sorry, everyone.

Business taking a hit?

My daughter didn't
come home last night.

Can't get onto her.

We don't know where she is.

Corrie: Ok, now that we're all
here, shall we ah, get to court?

I've gotta go. Bye.

Your hon our, I call the
accused, Kate Lawson.

Ms Lawson, we've
heard conflicting evidence.

Did you, in fact, have an
affair with Nathan Spears?

I did. We did.

Colby: Do you have any records

or text messages between you
and mr Spears to support this claim?

No. Why not?

Because both of us were afraid
that my sister would find out,

and so we used the
wickr app on our phones.

Colby: How often
did you and mr Spears

engage in sexual activities?

Kate: It was sporadic.

It wasn't romantic, because we
both felt terrible whenever it happened.

So there were gaps of
months, sometimes even years.

Colby: Now on the
night of 14 September,

Claire refused to
go with her father,

but then he suddenly
gave his consent.

Did she say why?

Did she explain why?

Yes, she had threatened to
expose the affair to her mother

and to her stepmother,
unless Nathan let her stay.

Colby: Ms Lawson, prior to
the testimony of Fiona west,

the house mistress at school,

had you admitted this affair
to the police or to your family,

or to anyone in this room?

No, I'd never told anyone.

Colby: You had not in fact even
told any of your legal team, had you?

Correct.

Colby: So can you explain why
you have chosen to tell the truth now?

Because when I witnessed
Nathan lying under oath,

I started to doubt other things
that he'd said about Claire.

Colby: Now, how would you
describe Claire's relationship

with her father?

Ah, it was very stormy.

It was volatile.

Nathan has a terrible temper

and he puts his own
interests first above everyone's,

especially Claire's.

When Claire was reported
missing, what was Nathan's reaction?

Oh, he was furious.

He, ah, he said he
believed that she'd run away

and she would come
home when she was hungry.

Colby: Did he make an effort to
call the police, or to look for her?

No, he didn't.

No, Diane and I
called the police.

We went looking for Claire,

and Nathan stayed
at home with Sonia.

Now, ms Lawson,
I must ask you this.

Did you k*ll your
niece, Claire Spears?

No, I would never hurt Claire.

Never.

The reason she
wanted to be with me

was that we shared
similar interests.

She loved me very, very much

and she found my
life very exciting...

Oh, I'm ahead of
you, madam crown.

You will speak only in
response to questions

asked of you, ms Lawson.

Sorry.

When they called
Kate to the stand,

I was expecting
way more from Colby.

Uber anti-cl*max.

But he can't just
go in hard-core.

He has to keep it soft and easy.

Yeah, so she
doesn't hang herself.

Has anyone else
noticed the shift in attitude

or expression from
Kate's sister toward her?

Brutal. Like, "f*ck you, b*tch."

I wonder if she'll be telling a
different story on the stand, now.

Is anyone wondering what
we're even doing here?

A few 100 years ago they
used to burn witches at the stake.




Thank you, Margaret.

Who knows what it'll
be 400 years from now?

Maybe people will just be like,
"that was that person's fate."

To die.

And no one needs to be punished.

Peter: It's not only
about punishment.

It's about deterring crime.

Otherwise anybody could
Willy-nilly k*ll whoever they wanted.

Yeah, I would have Willy-nilly

k*lled a few people
by now. Dozens.

Decent people expect to
be punished for what they did.

That's not necessarily true.

You have no idea
what you're talking about

because you've never
been in that situation.

Yes!

Farrad.

They're reinstating
my scholarship.

We did it.

Everything ok?

She was stopped at the airport.

They wouldn't let
her on the plane.

They're not telling us why.

The lawyer's trying to
find out more details.

And I'm stuck in this.

I can't do anything.

Man, f*ck, I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

You're an arsehole.

I know.

We need to talk.

Did you go there?
Did you see Joe?

He's bullshitting. She
has to be with him.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I just...

So where the f*ck is she, then?

Gidday, mate.

It's Trevor, isn't it?

Yes? What's the emergency?

You know we can't
be seen together.

I have a reputation
to protect, ok?

Tell me Allen didn't
do something stupid.

Sorry, what are
you talking about?

I gave him the
names of two jurors.

One of their daughters
has gone missing.

Look, I owe Allen money.

But at the end of the day,
I don't owe you nothin'.

So if someone
gets hurt out of this,

I will burn down your gallery, your
house and your f*cking reputation!

Would you describe yourself
as a caring aunt, ms Lawson?

Yes, I would.

And did your niece, Claire,

rely on you for most of
her emotional support?

Yes she did.

And did you give
her that support?

Always.

Always.

On the night of
Saturday 14 September,

where was Claire when you returned
from dropping am it a back at school?

I assumed she was sleeping.

Bloom: But you told the court

that you and Claire had
had, well, an argument,

that she was angry with you
over your affair with her father

that night, isn't that right?

She was acting out, yes.

And am it a also testified

that you and Claire
had an altercation

which resulted in you
having to drop am it a

back to school early.
Is that also correct?

That is correct, yes.

And yet you told the police
when you returned home

from dropping am it a back, you
didn't go in to check on Claire.

No, her door was closed,
and I didn't want to wake her,

or start an argument
that late at night.

Well, Claire was a 14-year-old
girl who, by your own testimony,

was upset and emotional

and yet you, her guardian,
her sole caregiver,

didn't go in to check to
see if Claire was alright.

No, I didn't.

And because of that,
the alarm wasn't raised

until late the next
day. Is that so?

Yes, that's right.

So if you had have
returned from dropping am it a,

and gone to check on Claire,

you would have raised the
alarm a lot earlier, wouldn't you?

Of course.

Ms Lawson, you
have just told the court

that you always provided
emotional support to your niece,

and yet on this one
occasion, you did not,

which left enough time
for a m*rder to occur,

a body to be disposed of, and
the evidence trail to go cold.

Would you not agree
that this one lapse

in emotional support
seems convenient?

Well sometimes,
providing emotional support

to a teenager means
giving them space

when they're overwrought.

Surely as a mother
you know that?

Surely you know by
now that I'm the one

who asks the questions,
not you, ms Lawson.

I'm so sorry.

Do you consider
yourself a fit guardian

for a 14-year-old girl?

Yes, I do.

Well the court has
heard that you suffer

from borderline
personality disorder.

Is that right?

Well, that's a label
that gets thrown around.

That's one doctor's opinion.

It's not something I
have to agree with.

Were you diagnosed with
the disorder, ms Lawson?

I mean, do I have to
say yes if I don't agree?

Can you please object?

Ms Lawson, you are required
to answer the question directly.

You can't ask counsel to object.

Continue, madam crown.
Thank you, your hon our.

The expert witness told us
traits that are associated with bpd

include unstable relationships,

self-harm, impulsive behaviours,

extreme emotional swings,
expl*sive anger, among others.

Are these things you
have struggled with, Kate?

I wouldn't call them struggles.

They are parts of my temperament

that actually help me
become a better artist.

Oh, so you embrace
your extreme moods

and behaviour
as part of your art?

I have to. Yes, I do.

You've described
Claire as your muse,

in artistic statements,
haven't you?

She's one of my muses.

But you relied
on her exclusively

for the exhibition you were working
on at the time of her disappearance.

That's correct? Yes.

Excessive fear of abandonment
is also a trait of bpd, isn't it?

Well, you've googled
it. You tell me.

Your hon our, objection.

My client is not
an expert witness

in borderline personality
disorder, so called.

I'll rephrase the
question, your hon our.

Was fear of abandonment
described as part of your diagnosis?

Maybe, I cannot recall.

So when Claire
rebelled against you,

it must have appeared as if
you were losing your muse

and, fearing abandonment,

did you take her life in
a fit of expl*sive rage?

That is a ridiculous question.

Ms Lawson. Of course I didn't.

Of course I didn't. It
doesn't even make sense.

If I had a fear of abandonment,
why would I k*ll her?

It makes no sense at all.

How would that help my art?

Why did he put her on the stand?

It's not like she did
herself any favours.

Look, she's a bit of an oddball,
granted, but she's not a m*rder*r.

Detective chedid, can we speak?

I'm so sorry but
we can't be talking.

No, no, it's not about the case.

My daughter has gone missing,

absent without
contact since last night

and that's never
happened before.

You're going to have to
contact your local police station.

I'm very sorry.

I hope Ava's ok.

I can't help but
feel responsible.

I take it that's your husband?
You just have a cigarette,

and just don't act
like you're interested

or pay any attention, ok?

Why are you here?

Which hotel are you staying at?

Jamie, you threw me out.

If you want me to
come home, just say.

Who's that dickwad?

Garry. He's just
one of the jurors.

Garry who?

I barely know him.

Just tell me his name.

If you've got nothing to hide,
there shouldn't be a problem.

We're not actually meant to
reveal any of the juror's names.

That's convenient, isn't it?

f*ck the anonymity bullshit.

It's making me anxious, George.

Jamie.

I've gotta go.

Georgina, if you want to
speak to your children, hmm.

Thorne.

His name's garry Thorne, ok?

Ok.

That doesn't help, you know?

It's just all a bloody
guessing game,

without some kind
of guidance, Trevor.

But we don't know without a
body. That's why she can't be guilty.

Yeah, but you
always said she was.

No, thank you.

I've got my own lunch.

I owe you an apology.

Look, I don't understand
your behaviour,

but it's really too late
for an explanation now.

Margaret, the night you
came to dinner, I was...

Afterwards, I couldn't sleep.

I felt...

This is silly, but I felt like
I'd been cheating on my wife.

Having you there, having dinner.

I realised I was
enjoying myself.

Flirting, even.

God forbid in her our house.

Do you understand?

I had a bad
reaction and I just...

It's taken me a
while, you know, to...

It's taken me a while to, ah...

Find the words?

I hope you can forgive me,

and that, ah, well,

if it's not too late to, uhm...

Court is recommencing.

This is bloody insane.

Sorry. My daughter
has disappeared.

She didn't show
up to school today.

It's really out of character.

Tried her, ah, her
boyfriend and her friends

and, uhm...

Is it ironic, or is it just me?

We're hearing
about a teenage girl

who goes missing
and never comes back.

And the cop who investigated it,
she won't even bloody talk to me.

We need to start moving
back in, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, ok.

Maybe they said that
in these long cases,

they're usually sympathetic
towards family crises.

You should tell them. Tell them.

You think they'll let me go?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, man.

Pull out. Your kid's
more important.

Did Claire and am it a
drink under your roof

on the night of 14 September?

Well, we've all seen the video.

I was holed up with
a deadline that night.

What was the title of the
piece that you were working on?

That's great. I love
how taut it is there.

It's so great. I think I'm actually
gonna make my deadline.

You know, that's
what you should call it.

Deadline.

Yeah, that's pretty
good, actually.

It was called deadline.

Oh, I see.

Was that a bit of meta
whimsy on your part,

or the execution of a long-held
artistic goal in your career?

What does that mean?

Do you recall an interview
you did with the journal 'artiste'

in December 2012?

Ah, vaguely.

Could the accused please be
passed exhibit I, your hon our.

Would you please read the
highlighted text, ms Lawson?

Of course.

"Getting too attached to certain
concepts is detrimental to art.

"There's an
expression writers use,

"'k*ll your favourite children'

"and I think the
same holds true in art.

"'k*ll the muse'
is my new mantra.

"We must k*ll the muse

"that inspires in order
to reach true inspiration."

I think you're taking
this a little bit too literally.

Turn the page and read the
next highlighted section, please.

Hey.

"That's exactly what I'm saying.

"Death is the masterpiece.

"If the muse were
here in tangible form,

"I'd k*ll it and
capture it forever."

Claire Spears was the muse
for deadline, wasn't she?

Objection.

This question has been asked and
this question has been answered.

Upheld. Move on, madam crown.

She was a muse, not the muse.

She was the sacrifice to
achieve your ultimate work of art

on sex and
morbidity, wasn't she?

No, she was not.

You came home, you
went in and k*lled the muse

with hours to go
before your deadline...

No.

...And then you took the boat
and you disposed of the body.

That is not true. And you
are now trying to frame

not just an innocent man
but Claire's own father.

No. No. No. I was...

The witness will take her seat.

No! No! No!

I have to get out of this box.
Please? Please? Please?

Sit down, ms Lawson.

I can't.

Ms Lawson...

Your hon our, I request a recess

to assess the capacity
of my client to continue.

Your hon our.

I have a note from a juror.

I'll take the note, sheriff.

Mr Colby, your
request is granted.

But as one of the jurors

is experiencing
personal difficulties,

we will adjourn for the day.

All rise.

Court dismissed.

Diane, I need to speak with you.

Let me speak to my sister.

Diane refuses to see you.

On the plus side,

the judge has excused
you from further testimony,

since there've been no requests
to continue from the crown.

Because she thinks she's won.

Kate, I need to
ask you something.

What was on your camera,

when you came home the
night that Claire disappeared?

What do you mean?

No, the reason I ask is that
Ezekiel has found some flashes

on the cctv footage, 12
minutes after you left the house.

They're ten seconds apart.

There's 36 all up.
Now that's a roll of film.

They're subtle,
but they're there.

And what we believe is that police
have fast forwarded that footage

between the arrivals and
departures from the house,

and they missed them.

Now the only
person that was home

at the time when those
flashes went off, was Claire.

Did she take any
photos on your camera?

She did.

I found the film
and I developed it,

enlarged a couple of the
prints, but it was nothing.

She'd turned the camera around
and she'd triggered the auto-timer.

She was trying to
ruin my final set-up.

It was 36 shots of nothing.

What happened to those photos?

I burnt them. You burnt them?

Well, I do that
with any pictures

that I don't want
catalogued in my collection.

It keeps the value intact.

And what about the negatives?

I assume the police took them.

No, no, no, I looked
through the police evidence

and there's nothing
that fits your description.

So where else could they be?

You should ask my sister.

What was that?

What?

Vanessa, you saw me in the
court. I waited for you after.

I called. I texted.

Why would you leave without me?

I didn't know you were coming,

so I just assumed you
were doing your own thing.

I'm sorry.

That was weird,
and rude and hurtful.

Why were you there?

I mean, were you just
trying to spy on me?

Oh, god.

I thought I'd show an
interest in this whole Kate thing

you've been getting upset about.

She's borderline.

I'm trying to understand you.

I'm trying to find some way to
get on your page with this sh*t.

You can't get on my page.

I don't know what I want.

I don't even know who I am
as a person myself anymore.

And I feel like I'm just trying to
be this thing just to please you.

Like with babies and
domestics and pretence.

And you know what? I don't
know if I can pull that off.

You're the one
who wanted babies.

Ok?

I feel like I'm being
totally gas lit right now.

Yeah?

Then just go.

Go? What, go where?
What, what, leave you?

If that's what you want.

Ok.

So, yeah, he's not
letting me see the kids.

It's been over 48 hours.

This is really tearing me apart.

Yeah, that's a lot.

I was thinking we need
compo for jury duty trauma.

You trying to f*ck
my wife, garry?

Oh, mate, don't come at
me with something like that.

I'm not your mate.

You threw her out. I'm just
giving a friend somewhere to stay.

Yeah? You seem
real f*ck friendly.

Jamie, come on.

You are out of here, right now.

You get the f*ck out
of here, you parasite.

She's sick of your sh*t.

Jamie.

You shouldn't have hit him.

Are you ok?

George. Hey, hey,
hey, are you ok?

George, please come home.
Please. Please come home. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

We need you. I need you, please.

I shouldn't have thrown
you out, I shouldn't have.

I'll do anything to make
it up to you, I promise.

I will do anything,
George. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

He's really sorry, garry.

He's hurting. Look, it's
ok. I know what to do.

Yeah, no, good.

Keep the cycle of abuse
going. Sounds healthy to me.

Don't judge me.

I really appreciate your help.

Jarrod. Hey. My
appeal was successful,

but I just need you to sign a
form agreeing to me deferring

and repeating your
course next semester.

You know, before I sign that,

I'd like to know why
you chose English lit.

I like books and I like reading.

And you got a scholarship
with accommodation.

You know, I'm the
only aboriginal professor

in the history of this
university's English faculty?

It hasn't been easy, or quick.

Or even sensible.

But I'm f*cking
passionate about it,

and that's what gets me
through all the red tape.

All the white fella bureaucracy.

Passion.

You know, you're welcome
in my course next semester,

but before you come back,

I want you to ask yourself

what you really
want from life, jarrod.

What are you doing
at my chambers?

I drove you home.

Do you remember
what we talked about?

Yes, I remember.

Do you remember we
agreed that never happened?

I'm sorry.

I'm desperate...

Look, I told you I
can't afford a mistrial.

My wife, she has the
same name as some woman

on the Australian
!sis watch list.

They won't let her into the
country. They won't listen to us.

They...

I need a top
immigration lawyer to...

I can't, I can't help you.

Ok? I just, I...

I can't help you.

Will no one in this
country help me?

No one?

Yeah, hi, I need to speak to
someone from missing persons, please.

Thank you.

Mm, smells amazing. Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, all
I can really smell

is the stench of your
rarefied guilty conscience.

Wow, can we not?

I'm just, I'm tired.

I'm not really in the mood for your
theories on crime and punishment.

Jesus, what the f*ck was that?

Just getting your attention.

Look, you didn't play by the
rules and someone got hurt.

But he wasn't playing
by the rules either.

Ok, if he wasn't ill*gal,

you would have taken
him to the hospital.

Look, I appreciate what you're
trying to do, but he's dead.

I have to live with that,
for the rest of my life.

And I know you've
been through some sh*t.

I get it.

But you were not to blame.

I am.

You think you're the only
one with guilty secrets?

That story that I tell
about my parents?

Even I've started to believe it.

I was having a shitty week and I
wanted to blow off some steam,

so I got in touch with
some random dealer.

He turned up. I got in the car.

We drove around
the block a few times.

Got chatting.

Did a couple of bumps together.

But I wasn't thinking straight.

My parents were away
and I invited him inside.

He must have seen the
house and seen money.

He cased the place and
came back two weeks later.

I brought him to
this house, Alexi.

I need help!

And he tried to Rob us
and my dad caught him,

and then he k*lled
both of my parents.

How'd you know it was him?

The police identified fingerprints
and then they showed me a photo.

The guy pleaded guilty and
the case never went to trial

and he didn't
mention me, either.

Must be some kind
of drug dealer code.

I've never told anyone.

I don't know what to say.

Nothing.

There's nothing you can say.

Thank you for coming over,
Diane. Thank you for the help.

We appreciate it.

I don't know why she
told you to ask me.

I don't know where
she keeps her negative.

Why are you looking now?

Well, we're looking for
anything at this stage,

and the camera was on automatic,
so maybe there's something on there

to indicate that
Claire left the studio,

which would strengthen
our case that she ran away,

or maybe someone else turns up.

Nathan, for instance.
We just don't know.

Mr Colby.

Justice for Steve dokic has
just posted this news story.

Oh, sh*t.

What is it?

"Kate Lawson has k*lled before."

Why?

Why? Why would you do that?

Why shouldn't I?
Because it's special.

That is our work.

It's not some stupid game

you can play with
your little friend, Claire.

It's precious. Yeah, but
I can explain it to her.

It's too late. I can tell her...

It's too late! ..Not
to tell anyone!

I'm taking am it a home.

You know not
everything belongs to you.

It was my idea.

You know, and I have
my own thing going on,

and I can do what I want.

You are such a narcissist.

What are you doing?

I'm not doing the final
piece now. You've ruined it.

You destroyed it.

Do you think that I get off
at pretending to be belinda,

so that you can play out
your f*cked up sex fetishes?

What, you think I don't see it?

You're using me.

I'm not your muse,

I'm just some dead
girl you can't get over.

Don't ever push me.
