I want you to get to know
your sister. Look out for her.

Let her go!

I've never taken a life.

And I can't show Val.

His name is Marco Peters.

On his phone, we found this app
that tracks people's movements.

- Anyone we know?
- There's Valerie.

And Alex Parsons.

So you haven't talked to Ruby.

You're just gonna keep
your blackmailer close?

I know - I know - that there is a blackmailer
in this group. Or is it all of you?

So that's all you've got? A theory?
You've got no evidence to back this up.

Stop it!

These are my friends.

AJ?

AJ.

Where's AJ?

- Ruby-
- Just...

don't.

Don't.

Ruby, they know about Alex.

That he abused you
and that I killed him.

Whoever's doing this
is blackmailing me too.

Please.

Can we just have a think
about this? Please?

One of your friends has gone rogue.
I don't know who.

Sarah?

Felix?

Hazel?
No.

None of my friends would do this.

Sometimes it is the people who you are
closest to who let you down the most.

Really

I have been thinking about
Nia's cancer treatment.

How much that costs.
Oh my God.

People do things
for money. Ruby...

sometimes it's the last people
that you would expect.

No.

No. There's no way.

Well, then it has to be Hazel.

She could've been feeding info...
She wouldn't.

- ...through to her father. He needed money.
- She wouldn't.

- He was tracking Valerie.
- Mm-mm.

My friends don't do these things.

♪ Between you and me
is a body of water. ♪

We called it 'the soap opera'.

My mum would say, 'Tell me another
story about your friends.

'What-What skeletons
does that family have?'

It was how we got through
the hard nights.

And the chemo. Just-Just talking
about anything to keep my mind off it.

And I kept asking where'd
she get the money from,

but she'd just get angry,
and then she'd be sorry, and...

and I knew she was hiding something.

- I just never thought that...
- that she'd blackmail.

Hm.

But she did, though. She took those
secrets, and she got money for them.

S-So why did she give me money
just last month?

- Valerie gave you money?
- Yeah. Two grand.

She said it was left over
from the fundraiser

we had her for Nan.

She said-She said she wanted us
to have it for the baby.

No, Ruby.

She didn't give you money for the
baby. That was my money. What?

She took from me and gave to you...

so that I would suspect you.

Sorry.

Is this what I think it is?

If you want it to be.

'Omnia...

'Vincent...'
Vincit.

'Omnia vincit amor.'

Love conquers all.

See? So...

you wanna?

I do.

I do.

Mm.

OK.

So you think Marco found out that Valerie blackmailed
his father and that's why he attacked her?

Something like that.

Right.

Bingo.
Great.

Come on.

Ah, that's sick.

Valerie was blackmailing
Marco too. 'Course she was.

This was sent three days ago.
So that's why he went after her.

To scare her, like we were gonna do.

No, Marco wanted more than that.

He wanted his father's money back too.

- Damn.
- What?

Password.

- Well, you can get around that.
- Nah, needs authentication.

Just figure it out, Harding.

That's Trig Road.

That's Trig Road;

that's the cop shop;
that's my house.

This is Joseph's.

Do you think that this could have
anything to do with that tracking app

that we found on Marco's phone?
Yeah, it could.

Which...

Which would mean that-
This is Valerie's movements here.

Yeah.

You need to get into that laptop.
It has everything that we need.

I-I-Honestly, I can't.
We need to take it to e-crime.

Figure it out, Harding.
We don't have time.

Hey.

What's the hurry? Valerie doesn't
know that we're on to her.

No, but Nia does, and she's been away all night,
so she's gonna have to contact her mother soon.

We have to act now.
OK.

Look, we don't have to do this by the book, OK?
I could bring her in for blackmailing the others

and just leave you out of it.
No.

I've got to do this.

You know she would use whatever
it is she has against you, right?

Yeah, but these teenagers, they've
formed a family. OK? Did you know that?

So take that laptop to the station, see what
you can get off it, and I'm gonna bring her in.

Jess? It's not even 7.

Yeah. I've come to
talk to Valerie.

- Oh, come on.
- Just go out for a bike ride.

Go for an hour.
I'm not going out for a bike ride.

Oh. Ruby, hey.

What-What is it? Is it Mum?

Yeah. Um, she needs your help.

All right.

Jess. You must work night and day.

Can we get you a coffee? Breakfast?
Nah.

So, shoot.

When Marco Peters was
trailing you in his car,

did he shout out anything to you?
No.

When you left the road, and he pulled up and
opened his car door... Mm, and followed me. Yeah?

He didn't say anything to you then?

No.

And when he caught you on the pier?

Yeah? What did he say to you?

Uh... Oh, I can't recall
exactly. Just 'got you' type stuff.

He grabbed me. We were fighting
more than anything.

- And that's when Denise arrived?
- Hm.

So why did you describe it
as a sexual attack?

The way it was holding me,
I guess. He... groped me.

Where did he grope you?

The groin;

um, he squeezed my breast when he
said, 'I've been waiting for this.'

- But Denise was already there by that stage.
- Yeah.

Think she was just arriving.

Did you witness the offender
grope Valerie's breast or groin?

Uh, no, I didn't notice that
s-specifically,

but he had his arm around her,

and I'm sure he-Did you hear him say,

'I've been waiting for this?'
I couldn't hear anything,

but he was yelling a lot.

How do you know Nick Peters?

I don't believe I do know Nick Peters.

Well, then where were you
March the 25th 2018?

Oh, God.

- August the 3rd 2018.
- I don't keep a diary... - November the 4th.

...and I hardly remember where I was
last week, Jess. January the 9th.

You were at Granddaughter Estate. You were there up
until a week before Nick Peters died in February.

Why were you there?

I was there to meet with Nick.

- Why?
- Because he gave me money.

Nick had heard about Nia's cancer
and knew that the chemo had failed

and that we couldn't afford the
experimental drug therapy from the US,

so he offered to help pay for it.

Why did you lie to me
about knowing Nick?

He made me promise to
keep it confidential.

He had issues with his son, who he thought
was trying to get hold of his money.

I had no idea,

no idea that the son was Marco.

Nick was incredibly good to us.

I suppose it's possible that the son thought
that I'd been taking money from him

that was rightfully his.

Oh, do you think that
might've been his motive?

It's a security question.

Your father's first pet.

- How would I know?
- Well, you two were close, right?

You know. Probably
both loved animals, right?

You guys shot my dad.

And now you want my help?

Look, I know how this feels.
No. You don't.

OK.

OK.

OK, I...

I was 12 years old

when my mother was killed.

And cops turned up at my door
just like I did at yours.

I can't change what
happened to your dad.

Neither can you.

But maybe understanding why...

he did what he did...

Maybe it'll help.

OK.

What is it now, Jess?
More victim blaming?

Hey. Jess is just doing her job.

Why don't you go get dressed?

- You sure?
- Yeah, we're good.

Do you remember...

that message you sent me...

'It's time to pay'?
I don't know what you mean.

On your cell phone,

there's a little app that works in the background.
It's been tracking your movements. Marco put it there.

- That sounds like something a stalker would do.
- Mm-hm,

except it shows you at my house. I've
been to your house, Jess. To pick up Nia.

No. You were there to steal a SIM card and
see me blackmail messages from Alex.

- Really?
- Mm.

Is there something about Alex
that you could be blackmailed over?

I'm not scared of it coming out.

Well, that's just as well,

because you might lose everything.

- Nia's at the station with Harding.
- Nia doesn't have anything to say.

She has everything that she's told you.

Sammy's relationship with Spencer.

Felix's grandad covering up
a murder at the commune.

Sarah's dad bringing in illegal
migrants. You know, all the stuff

that you talked about. Since when
is talking to your daughter a crime?

All of those people
are being blackmailed.

Cos I looked into that experimental treatment that
you're paying for from the States - 20 grand a pop.

It's 20 grand every six weeks. How does
a freelance photographer afford that?

- I told you. Nick Peters helped us.
- Oh, tens of thousands of dollars?

Good things happen to good people.

Bad people? What happens
to bad people?

Why don't you tell us, Jess?
What does happen to bad people?

You don't believe any of this, do you?

OK.

I would like to go in to the
station. I wanna make a statement.

Fine.

Oh, I would like Denise to drive.

I don't feel safe in a car with you.

Remember this road, Jess?

Be careful, Nisey.
This is where she did it.

Forced the car cut off the road,
then left Alex to die in the water.

Isn't that right, Jess?

What did you do underwater?
Did you finish him off?

Or just make sure he couldn't get out?

Is that true?

You won't deny it?

She isn't the person you think, Nise.

It's true, I knew all those
stories from Nia and her friends,

but I'm not the one
doing the blackmailing.

It's Ruby.

That's why she's doing this.
She's already covered up one crime.

Now she and Harding, they've
concocted this whole case against me

just to cover up Ruby's blackmail.

She's blackmailing me!

Believe me, Nisey.

You know I'm not that person.

Marco Peters.

He said you were blackmailing him.

That isn't true.

I killed a man to protect you.

Maybe I remember it differently.

Maybe I got free

and you chose to shoot
a defenceless man.

Nice. All the statements?

- Last chance.
- What? Hey?

You know what?

You're wrong.

Sometimes bad things
happen to good people.

Both of our daughters know that.

OK, Harding, she wants
to make a statement.

OK.

It is 10am on the 17th of March.

This is a formal interview
between myself, D.S. Harding

and Valerie Wells.

Also present in the room is
Detective Senior Sergeant Savage.

You're not obliged to say anything. Anything you
say will be recorded and may be given in evidence.

Do you understand?
Yes.

OK.

So, I want to talk to you about the
incident where Marco Peters was shot.

Uh, and I want to speak
about Detective Savage.

I should tell you we've received
some statements this morning,

including one from Rawinia,
and also one from...

Ruby Savage.

I wanna share that one with you just in
case it's relevant to the same matter.

'Over the last
18 months, my friends...'

...have been sharing stories with
each other about our families.

Um, they started out true, like Sammy's
relationship with Spencer Marris

and Felix's stories about a murder at
his grandfather's commune years ago.

But then... we started...

to make things up.

Just to keep the stories coming.

I made up...

stories about Alex's death.

Just crazy stuff about...

my mum committing crimes.

None of mine was true.
It was just...

a sick game we played to cheer up Nia.

I have other statements backing
that up, from Rawinia and others...

that many of these stories
were fabrications.

Do you want to continue with your
statement about Detective Savage, Valerie?

OK. Well, in that case, I'd like to share some
information that we found amongst Marco Peters' files.

I'm just showing Valerie an audit report
of bank transactions in her name.

See, we've highlighted a number of
cash deposits made into your account

which correspond exactly with
withdrawals made by Spencer Marris,

Philip Scully and others whose cases
we've been investigating for blackmail.

You are the blackmailer in question.

Aren't you, Valerie?

You killed him! Fuck you!

I'll give you a confession. I just
need to talk to my daughter first.

Nia, you don't have to.

Nia...

Nia.

Please. You must understand.
You stole stories from my friends.

To save you.

It was for you.
No.

It's how you're alive today.
We could never have afforded that.

Those-Those people could.
People died.

They had done bad things, Nia.

I hadn't done them. You didn't-
What you did was bad!

No!

They didn't deserve to get away
with what they did.

I just made people pay for
the things they did, that's all.

I'm-I'm a good person.

You're a good per-I'm not-I'm not you.

I'm not you.

- I'll take it from here. I'm going to the city.
- OK, sure.

Hey.

Good hiding, Zoe.

Good hiding.

Hey?

This is Zoe.
Hey, Zoe.

I'm Justin.

Hi.

Hi.

All set up now, hey?
Mmhm.

- So cute.
- Hm.

Um...

Thanks.

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

For today.

That you had to say those things.

About the abuse.

And Alex.

And me.

This is yours.

No, you keep it.

Keep it.
Mmmm.

I don't think so.

She used it to try and
set me up, didn't she?

And you believed her?

A-A little bit, yes.

- It's just so fucked up, you and me.
- No.

No, Ruby. No. We're just
like every other family.

We are.

Well, I don't want my child
to have this sort of family.

I want me and AJ to do better.

- Hey, Ms Savage.
- Hello, AJ.

- Is that everything?
- Uh, yeah. Just this.

You're moving out?
Yep.

Where to?

Hazel's place. Nia's coming too.

We're gonna live together, look after
each other like we always have.

Sounds like a good idea.

Thanks, Ms Savage.

For letting me stay.

And, like, you're welcome any time
in our place. We'll invite you.

Ruby will.

Bye, Mum.

Uh-oh.

- You're good with kids.
- She's a cutie.

Aren't you, Zoe? Eh?

- Di-ga-di-ga-di-ga-doo.
- Whee-oo, whee-oo, whee-oo!

It's not like anyone
taught us how to do it.

No.

Yeah.

How're you-How're you
paying for all this?

- None of your business.
- I just meant more, you know, I'm...

Are you OK for money?

Are you offering?

If I can help you guys or if
you guys need anything, sure.

You know how I said I had
something for you, Zoe?

Do you know what...

this is?

It's a unicorn.

Yeah, I know. Cool, eh?

It's a magical unicorn. It's got
superpowers. Where'd you get that?

Um, it's from Dad.

What?

Look, he just wanted
to give her something.

Sweetie.

Get out.
Hey, I'm-I'm sorry.

I'm-
You're working for him. Get out!

You're working for him, you fucking
arsehole. Nadia, I'm not working for him.

I'm a cop, Nadia. I'm not-
Get out!

Look, OK, I-I know that you don't
like him, but if you... I don't like him?!

Do you seriously think I'm living
like this because I don't like him?

Get the fuck out.

You're so fucking naive.

- Hey.
- How'd it go?

Yeah, all good. All good.

Valerie's locked up for the night.

Good.

You OK?

Yeah, of course.

So...

thank you for today.

- What, for saving your arse?
- Yeah, that.

- Probably your whole career.
- Oh, don't flatter yourself.

I never did find out
what dirt she had on you.

- No, you didn't.
- Huh.

Hey, um, can you hold a sec?

Comms, AK-X3.

Uh, seems like there's an incident
in the Rosebank area.

Central to AK-X3,

1210 Peacedale Rd. Can you attend?

AK-X3, responding.

Harding?

CIB.

Three of them.
Came out of nowhere.

And she was screaming at them, but they just
bundled her into a van, and then boom - gone.

Hey, have you guys seen a little
kid? A girl, little girl.

Not yet.

Hey. A kid, a little girl.
Have you seen a little girl?

- No, sorry.
- Oh, shit.

Hey. Hey.

Come here.

Hey.

Hey.

You OK?

Hey.

OK?

OK. OK.

All right.

Hey.

There you go. There you go. Hey.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

- Hey.
- Hello.

Hi.

Hello. Who's this?

Zoe, hey.

Get off the phone, please, Zoe?

Thank you. Thank you.
Harding.

Harding!

Harding!
