Hey Kate, who's this?

She's wearing the
same dress as Claire.

No, she's not. That's
a really old picture.

I don't understand why we
can't talk about the dokic case.

Seems to me relevant to Kate

that she's re-enacting
that specific trauma.

What's the name of
that deadly lawyer?

I'm already flat out.

I applaud your commitment to someone
else's fate, but what about yours?

I've got an appointment
with Brian hancock.

Bryce. His parents
didn't like him, either.

We've suspended
your scholarship.

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

How about I look into it?

The cause of death
was the brain injury.

We left that man for dead.

This is about our family...
Yeah, what about his family?

My wife here, she
gives excellent blow jobs.

See you at work.

That was my boss,
for fuck's sake. What?

Babe.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

He's taking my door
away! I hate you!

The whole thing was Kate's idea.

Kate brought her
around to model for me,

but I didn't hurt that
girl, ok? I swear it.

Nice try, Robbie.

Your brother's a doofus.

And?

Oi! Robbie!

Take a chill pill.

What's he doing here?

I don't know.

Kate's showing
off to the paparazzi.

Come on, Kate.

Oi!

Stare off, you perv!

I hate you!

Robbie! Robbie, get in!

Robbie, hurry up!

Robbie, get in!

We appreciate you
coming all this way, Robbie.

Yeah, well I was
subpoenaed, wasn't I?

Have you spoken
to Diane or Kate yet?

Look, mate, I'm only gonna say
what's in the statement, yeah?

That's it.

Well, the judge won't allow
any mention of Steve dokic,

belinda bain or
anything to do with '92.

Code of silence.
No surprises there.

At least belinda's
parents got to Bury her.

Yeah, you think that
makes them happy?

They didn't oppose
dokic's parole.

They didn't exactly join the justice
for Steve dokic project, did they?

What are you talking about?

Crazy bitches with
their online group.

Aren't you supposed
to be a detective?

Here's to murdered
teenagers, hey?

I'll see myself out.

Robbie, get in!

Get in!

Robbie! Hurry up!

Robbie! Robbie, get in!

Robbie!

Hey!

Morning. Mm, mm.

Thank you.

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

I... I just feel like

I can't reach you at the moment.

I love you so much, George.

Sorry, I can't
offer you breakfast.

I gotta go.

Ok, well can you let
me have a shower first?

Why didn't you get in with me?

Because you didn't invite me.

You didn't invite me.

I'll be two minutes.

Why don't you
just take your time?

Just remember to shut the
door behind you when you leave.

What's the rush? Who
is that, your ex-wife?

Yeah, close.

Ok, so not Jane. Is it Carla?

Did you look at my phone?

I mean, it was right there.

It pinged. It's just a reflex.

Just let yourself out.

Finally!

The fuck are you doing?

You're gonna wake
the whole street.

Is Jane coming to dinner?

I asked her once.

She's got the kids for
this whole jury duty thing.

I can't ask for any more
favours. For fuck's sake, Lex!

They're Chinese, alright?

They're all about family.

If you fuck this up for us...

...What?

Oh, you think I'm
gonna fuck this for us?

Get off your high
horse, will you?

Straight in,
straight out, right?

We're not here to fuck spiders.

That's her.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Sorry to disturb you.

We're...

We're workmates of your husband.

Sorry for your loss.

It's compensation.

I don't know.

I'm sorry, I don't...

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

No! Fuck!

No!

You fuck!

No!

Gotta get the money!

Run!

Run!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Come on!

Oh, for god's sake.

Your hon our, spare me.
This isn't a demonstration.

This is more of a docudrama.

We might as well be watching
some lurid crime channel.

Madam crown, can you point
out the differences between this

and the demonstration
ruled inadmissible

during pre-trial argument.

Your hon our, the
differences are clear.

The video was shot at night,

the policewoman is closer
in body type to the accused,

and the sound problems
have been fixed,

so the jury will
have a better sense

of what the neighbours
may have heard.

This evidence has
substantial probative value.

Madam crown, I'll
give my reasons later,

but I am not allowing this
demonstration to be admitted

into evidence.

Well, may it please
your hon our, in that case,

I make an
application for a view.

Well, I'll hear your application
for a view after lunch,

but I see that a view
may help the jury consider

which theories are plausible.

Thank you, your hon our.

Now listen, Kate, the whole
court will go from your house,

through the bush,
down to the jetty.

They're going to be in my house?

How did you let that happen?

Well, we couldn't let the jury
watch that police re-enactment.

It's ridiculous.

So you let that psychiatrist
trample through my medical history

and now you're gonna let
them walk through my home?

Kate. Doctor Lee
wasn't bad for us.

Not at all bad.

You're getting outplayed.

Yeah, I know, I know,
I know. It's ridiculous.

I should give it up.

You know, I don't
train very regularly,

so I always end
up getting injured.

But it's the only
exercise I get, so.

What are you, an international
man of mystery now, Alexi?

Tell us the truth, then
you have to kill us.

Should we be asking for danger
money serving on this jury?

Oh, garry!

What'd they charge
you with, huh? Nothing.

I just, I was telling farrad
I was playing football.

Football.

Went up for a header
and I got into a head clash.

Oh, Georgina. Trouble on the m2?

Oh, yeah, the
motorway was a car park.

You want me to
make you a coffee?

Are you going to tell me
what really happened?

White with one? White with one.

Soccer training.

Mr harm on. Mm?

Where do you keep
the keys to your boat?

The wood duck. She's
called the wood duck.

Mr harm on, confine yourself
to answering the questions

that are asked.

The keys?

Well, I have a boat shed,

and that is on my jetty,
and it has keys in a key box.

Lock thing.

And did Kate Lawson
have access to the keys?

Not if I was using them.

In the early morning
of 15 September, 2019,

were you using your keys
between 4:00am and 6:00am?

No. In the year preceding
September 2019,

how often had Kate Lawson
been aboard the wood duck?

A few times. Five?

Ten? 50?

Between five and ten. I
mean, never by herself.

Kate and Claire always
came out together.

Enough times for Kate Lawson to
observe you operating the boat, yes?

Yeah, but Claire was a
much better sailor than Kate.

Sorry, Kate.

Yeah, she loved the wood
duck. Thank you, mr harm on.

And so to confirm, Kate
had access to the boat shed,

to the keys,

and knew how to
operate the boat.

Diane.

Robbie.

What are you doing here?

I come every day.

For support.

You both know not to
talk about the trial, right?

That's a shame. I was hoping
we could compare notes.

So our stories line up.

I haven't seen my
brother in eight years.

I'm not accusing you.

It's good to see you.

I haven't changed.

I'm glad you got to know Claire.

Ah, yeah.

Before she died.

Robbie.

Don't.

And you believe
her? Believe Kate,

knowing everything you know?

Diane.

Mr harm on, in the event
Kate Lawson rowed your tender

out to your boat, the wood duck,

and commandeered her at 4:00am,

and returned her to
the mooring at 6:00am,

how far do you think she
would have got from sailors bay,

in that two-hour round trip?

Upriver? Maybe...

Maybe to roseville bridge?

I mean, the only other way,

she'd be struggling to
get past middle harbour.

And if she tied up at some jetty
and loaded a 45-kilo dead weight,

a tarpaulin, some
heavyweights and a chain?

I mean, even just pulling it up

alongside the jetty,
that would be a struggle.

I mean, she is a beast.

And she takes a lot of
practise to handle her.

Would your boat have made it
to open water in a two-hour trip?

That would be a stretch.

I mean, you'd be
chewing up a lot of fuel.

And did you notice at
anytime after 14 September

a lot of fuel missing?
Definitely not.

How can you be so sure?

If I had to refill my
tank, I would notice.

Did you notice anything else
missing from the wood duck?

No. Say an anchor chain?

No. Some diving weights,

a fridge, a sea chest? No.

Nothing like that.

And how easy do you think it
would be to hoist any of those things

over the side of the
boat in open water?

Well, the gunnels are too high,
and one person couldn't do it.

So someone's Kate's
size couldn't do it.

Harmon's lying.

He's lying about the boat speed.

He's lying about the fuel.

Do you want notes
for the re-examination?

I'm not going to re-examine.

But he's so smug.

"She's called the wood duck."

He'll only tell more lies.

Let's give them ike instead.

She's not an
olympic weightlifter.

Yeah, but she had a wheelbarrow.

They found tyre
marks in the bush,

so you know, that's how she
moved the body to the jetty.

She's still not going to be
able to hoist it into the water,

inside a fridge,
wrapped in anchor chain.

Thank you. Please
don't call her, "it."

Do we know her
pronouns, Margaret?

Come on, play nice.

Maybe she buried
her in the mangroves.

Alexi. You're the
construction guy.

She didn't Bury her. Huh?

She didn't Bury her.

One person, no mechanical
equipment, digging in mud?

It's not possible.

Yeah, that's why you hear about
so many people being buried

in shallow graves, you know.

If a bikie gang can't do it,

what's old Annie
Lennox gonna do?

Maybe we should follow
the Sherlock Holmes theory.

Rule out the impossible
and whatever remains,

however improbable,
must be the truth.

That doesn't sound right at all.

Oh, ok, well then you're
smarter than Sherlock Holmes.

We're not supposed
to be detectives.

Well, how else can
we reach the truth?

Jarrod is right.

We should not investigate.

We can only consider the
theories put before us and ask,

is murder the one theory any
reasonable person would accept,

beyond doubt.

Well good luck finding a
reasonable person in this crowd.

And what time did
you arrive at the waterfront?

Just before dark.

Probably sixish.

So, between sixish on
Saturday, 14 September,

and 11:00am on Sunday, the 15th,

did you see anybody on the
path that runs through the reserve?

No.

Nobody went in
or out by the path.

Is there any other way
to access the reserve?

Only by boat.

Did you see anyone
leave or enter by boat?

I saw a woman row a tender
out to a motor boat at 4:00am,

and return a bit before 6:00.

Could you identify
the boat for us, please?

She's called the wood duck,
and she's moored in sailors bay.

On 2 November at
chatswood police station,

did you identify a woman
from a photo board?

I did.

Is the woman you saw
that night in this court room?

Kate Lawson.

The one sitting over there.

Let the record show that mr
Isaacs pointed at the accused,

Kate Lawson,

the same woman that he
identified from a photo board line-up.

I don't understand
what you need me to do.

Look, mum's brought a lawyer,

and I just need you to keep
him talking about something

that isn't me. Your
immigration case.

He's a social justice lawyer.

Jarrod, this is a
private family matter.

Between you and like
several thousand employees

of the immigration department.

Please, look, just one time.

Ok. Come on.

Thank you.

There was an added complication

in obtaining this requisite
security clearance

for zhian and daoud.

He's eight years
old, for Christ's sake.

It's ridiculous.

I know what you're doing.

You've brought a distraction.

I don't want to sue the cops.

Well, it's alright for you.

You've got family support,
you've got education, options.

What about the young fellas
who don't have your advantages?

How is it gonna help them?

We need to put every incident
of police brutality on the record.

At least try and stop one dirty
cop from getting a promotion.

Mum, it just feels like a lot
of effort for not much effect.

Well, Neil says there's
some momentum building

for a new royal commission.

Isn't that right, Neil?

I'll be with you in a sec.

I'm just telling farrad
about an appeal

that's relevant to him.

I've read a couple of things
about it but it's definitely...

Your hon our.

For Kate Lawson to be publicly
paraded in front of her neighbours,

in handcuffs,

this would be a gratuitous
and deliberate humiliation.

The accused is in custody

because she breached
her bail conditions.

Your hon our, we should
consider the safety of others.

This, Kate Lawson
never hurt anybody.

Except Claire Spears.

Madam crown,
you're not in front of the jury.

Your asides don't work on me.

The sheriff will remove the
restraints from the accused

before she is seen by the jury,

and she will remain
unrestrained throughout the view.

Thank you.

Thank you, your hon our.

It's a sick world
out here, detective.

So people say.

Look...

...I went to jail for
rape and murder,

and I didn't do it.

But these women
love a convicted killer.

Women, plural?

Hundreds. I don't know.

20 or so kept writing to me
through my whole sentence.

What, and they're all part

of the 'justice for
Steve dokic' page?

A couple are writing a book.

One's doing a podcast.

I don't know,

there's a bunch of them
in some online group.

So, why did these women
reach out to Robbie Lawson?

Have you spoken to Robbie?

Yeah, he's about
to give evidence.

For the prosecution.

Listen...

...Detective.

I lost 25 years of my life

getting involved with some...

...Fucked up woman.

I'm not going anywhere
near this group.

Kate Lawson wasn't a woman.

She was 14. So was belinda.

And so was Claire.

Give me a hand?

I'm too cold.

Well, help me row.

That'll warm you up.

Come on, we've gotta get moving

if we're going to
get upriver by dawn.

I'm not rowing.

I'll wait here until you come
back with the wood duck.

Mr Isaacs,

Claire Spears went
missing on 14 September.

What date did you
approach the police

claiming information
about that night?

2 November.

And that was after
you'd seen media reports

identifying Kate Lawson as
having been arrested and charged?

Yes, I saw the news.

And did the news
items that you saw,

did they speculate
that Claire Spears' body

had been dumped
in Sydney harbour?

From memory, yes.

Now, according
to your statement,

you were on your mate's
jetty from 6:00pm on Saturday

to 11:00am on
Sunday. All night long.

Are you confident
that you didn't nod off

at any time during that night?

I nap during the day
when I fish at night.

Oh, that's talented.

Did you leave the
jetty to eat or drink?

No. I have an esky with me.

And considering the
contents of that esky,

do you go 17 hours

without leaving
the jetty to urinate?

I piss off the end of the jetty.

Fair enough.

Now mr Isaacs, it
was six weeks later,

six weeks, that you
went to the police,

and that was only after
you'd seen news reports

identifying ms Lawson.

How can you be sure
that it was 14 September

that you think you saw ms
Lawson row out into that bay?

On 14 September...

...I caught a king fish.

You caught a king fish?

I took a selfie.

It's got the date.

Your hon our, I apologise
that this evidence

has only just emerged,

but I plan on tendering the
photo of mr Isaacs' king fish picture

to be distributed to the jury.

Your hon our,

the police have not provided
this evidence to the defence.

But mr Colby, it was your
diligent cross-examination

that brought it to light.

I'll allow the photograph
into evidence.

Thank you, your hon our.

Very well, your hon our.

Well, mr Isaacs, while
I'm sure that this picture

will be very useful in
identifying the king fish,

unless ms Lawson is in
the background of that shot,

how does it prove

that, that was the night you
think you saw ms Lawson?

The night you catch a king fish

off a jetty in sailors bay,

you remember every
single thing about it.

Yes you do.

That's all I have, your hon our.

It's tough when the
corroborating evidence

is a fisherman
landing a whopper.

He seemed a
more reliable witness

than the alcoholic neighbour.

Alcoholic?

Yeah, I could literally
smell the bourbon on him.

Yeah, see, people often mistake

the proper meaning
of the word literally.

Don't they, Margaret?

Well, maybe Simon has a
highly developed sense of smell.

Yeah, well, you know
what I can smell? Bullshit.

Two hours is plenty of time

to get a boat like
that into deep water,

and you wouldn't
have to spend anything

like a full tank of fuel.

Does anyone know,

can we take our cars
to the viewing tomorrow

so that we can go straight
home afterwards, or...

I don't know, but good thought.

Well...

...At least we'll be getting
out of this jury room.

Yeah.

Yeah. Ok, thank you.

Sorry.

Just found it on the table.

Oh.

It's a watercolour technique.

It's based on this
ancient practise.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

No, it's nice.

Thanks.

Knock-knock. Locked.

You have a gift.

You're obviously very talented.

There's a 'but' coming.

I can hear it.

Not everyone has your
best interests at heart.

People who you
think you can trust,

maybe they're
giving you bad advice.

Like, follow my
dreams? Do what I love?

I want you to
follow your dreams.

But...

I also want you
to go to university.

I want you to build a career.

I get paid for my
designs. I know.

You want me to
increase your allowance?

When you throw money at me, it
makes me feel like I'm a problem.

Ok.

I can help you
get a part-time job.

The graphics firm
that did our rebrand?

They'd love this. Really?

Do you think they
can rebrand me?

Watch the tone.

Shut the door on your way out.

Hey! What are you doing?

Sam, she did send
you? Ezekiel aku.

Kate's solicitor.

And you are?

Yeah. Yeah, alright.

You're here...

...To clean up my
sister's shameful past.

Robert Lawson.

So, is she going to jail?

Not if I do my job.

Yeah, I suppose.

You know I could
have challenged the will,

got my share of the house.

Probably not too late.

Get in, before she, you know,

spends it all on fancy
lawyers and solicitors.

What do you think?

I don't do probate law.

Knock yourself out, eh?

Harmon's tender being
rowed out to the wood duck.

Anybody entering
or leaving this reserve

would have to pass
along this beach

and be clearly visible to mr
Isaacs, standing on the jetty.

According to mr
Isaacs' statement,

he saw Kate Lawson
row the tender

out to the wood duck's mooring.

Now, if the jurors would like
to come up with me to the jetty,

two at a time, we can stand
in mr Isaacs' fishing spot

and see harmon's tender
being rowed out to the mooring.

Objection, your hon our. The
jury is being handed binoculars.

Did you know
anything about this?

They're the binoculars mr
Isaacs used on the night.

Your hon our,

in all fairness, mr Isaacs
is a pretty elderly man,

and we will be calling
an expert witness

as to his eyesight.

Now, these are predominantly
young and fit people.

One can safely assume that
their eyesight is pretty good.

But they might mistakenly
believe, with binoculars,

that they are seeing
what mr Isaacs saw.

The jurors make that
judgement with every eyewitness.

Mr Isaacs used those
binoculars. The jury should too.

We'll err on the
side of caution.

Detective, put away
the binoculars, please.

Would anybody
like a demonstration

as to how to piss
off the end of a jetty?

No.

The next part of our
view is at Kate's boat shed.

There is a single path from
the rear of Kate Lawson's house

to the waterfront.

Tyre marks matching
Kate Lawson's wheelbarrow

were found at three
points along this track.

According to the
bureau of meteorology,

Saturday, 14 September
was a clear night,

so visibility was optimum.

A key safe containing keys

to mr harmon's McGregor
26 is in the boat shed,

along with the
oars to the tender.

Kate Lawson has access to it.

Kate Lawson...

So, this detective
just gets to roll out

spurious theories
unchallenged, does she?

...Bring the boat
back to the jetty...

She's avoiding
any fresh evidence

that we could object to.

Well, they're lapping it up.

...A 12 hour search by two
teams... No, you're right.

Let's get them talking.
..Found no body.

Police modelling established
that an unweighted body

would have surfaced
within 14 days.

Objection! Detective chedid is
not an expert on bodies in water.

Your hon our,

this evidence has already
been presented to the court

and there was no
challenge from the defence.

Mr Colby, I'm not denying
the jury context for evidence

they've already heard.

The sandbag in the
wheelbarrow weighs 45kg,

the approximate
weight of Claire Spears.

Where's the rest of the weight?

The officer will
now... Excuse me?

You just said that if the
body wasn't weighted

it would float to the surface.

Where's the rest of the weight?

Members of the jury, in
spite of our surroundings,

it's important we maintain
the rules of the court.

So, if you have a
question, write it down

and give it to the sheriff.

Written questions only,
mate. I already told you that.

Bit over you telling
me what to do.

And we're over you, garry.

Can I borrow your pen? Yes.

"Why only 45 kilos
in wheelbarrow?"

"What was used to
weigh the body down?"

Well, that's a
reasonable question.

Detective, you've just
told us that police modelling

concluded that Claire's body

must have been attached
to something heavy.

I'm not really an expert.

We've just agreed
you can give context.

That was a conclusion, yes.

Well, then I think
this juror's correct.

The demonstration
should be a 45kg sandbag,

plus whatever was used
to weigh the body down

and stop it resurfacing.

We don't have anything to hand.

Well in that case, there's no
point continuing the demonstration.

"Does Kate Lawson
have a boat licence?"

Well, I don't know

why Claire would choose
to come down this path.

I mean, I'm really struggling.

So, if it's theoretically possible
that Claire escaped some other way,

we'd have to acquit?

No, not quite. We have
to look at the theory

and then ask, "is this right?"

Not "is this possible?"

Like if the theory was
that she climbed a fence

and escaped through
a neighbour's yard,

then that's totally possible.

But would a reasonable
person look at that and say,

"yeah, that's what happened?"

No, why would she?

If Claire ran away, she'd
leave by the front door

and be seen on the cctv,

or by the back and be
seen by the fisherman.

It'd be silly to
do anything else.

I mean, maybe.
Teenagers do silly things.

I still do.

The front of the house as
seen from the cctv over there.

The studio is to my left.

The front door is behind you.

There is no access
to the rear bushland,

except through the house
or over a neighbouring fence.

On the 16th and
17th of September,

all the neighbours
were door-knocked,

and reported no unusual noises
from Kate Lawson's home...

What's with all the
weird questions, garry?

The judge seems to
think they're alright.

No, not those ones.
The ones about us.

Mate, it's none of my business
where you get your dick wet.

No, it's not your
business, garry.

None of it is.

Actually, just trying to listen
to the lady and her information.

...Access through the
property and four have docks.

At the reserve... Fuckwit.

...Of course is the
Edinburgh reserve,

which is public access,
which we've all been...

Before you say anything, I
know you don't need protecting.

...Anyone entering
or leaving there...

I was just going to see if you
need a band-aid for that wound.

Bad, is it?

I'm sure there's one in the
bathroom here somewhere.

...Two of the neighbours were
on vacation across the period.

The bushland behind here
consists of large trees and sloping...

I'd like to be in my studio when
the jurors come through, please.

Ok.

...Allowing residents
to approach the beach

and the jetties unobserved.

Is this her room?

No.

No!

No!

You said you took
belinda's photos down!

Ezekiel took them down...
How could you let this happen?

Kate, please, calm down.
How could you let this happen?

Hey, the view. The
view went well for us.

No, it didn't. No, it didn't!

It was just a day of
talking about fucking bodies

and loading a body,
and weighing a body,

and then getting
a body on a boat.

There is no body.

Claire ran away.

Kate, we have no choice.

For every theory
they come up with,

we have to come up
with an alternative theory

that's just as credible.

But every time you
go into those details,

they look at me like she's dead.

That's not true.
Reasonable doubt, Kate.

That's what we're looking for.

Reasonable doubt.

No more, no less.

And everyone else
is looking for a body.

Kate, listen to me.

Would you like me to
take you to your car?

I don't think we were
meant to see that.

Yeah.

It was full on.

Come on, let's go.

On balance, I'd say we won
as many points as we lost.

I agree.

Oh!

Here we go.

What do you think
you're playing at?

Oh, you seem upset.

I'd be calling this
a good day for you.

You do understand that
the responsibility of the crown

is to avoid errors because
errors can lead to appeals.

What, you're already
talking about an appeal?

You haven't lost the case yet.

Dirty tricks, bloom.

You're better than that.

Well, I did learn from the best.

I wonder who she is.

Mm.

Very beautiful.

Hey, how are you?

Good.

Hi. Hi...

So, court got out a bit early,
and I can pick up the kids today.

Mm, come in. Have a seat.

We have had a
serious data breach,

and it have traced it
back to your laptop.

But I...

You know I haven't
used my laptop in weeks.

I've been in court every day.

We both know who it was, right?

My personal file was downloaded.

All my emails.

I wish things could
be different here,

but council has a
zero-tolerance policy

for employee misuse
of private information.

What if...

But if it wasn't an employee...

If you're prepared
to go to the police,

I'll back you 100%.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

I...

Oh, hi, finally!

What took you so long?

Oh, sorry. You know the bus.

Hey.

Hey, do I... Yvie,
from the admin office.

Right, yvie, yes.

Jarrod.

I remember.

Tap.

I'm sitting over there.

Bring your drink over and join.

Shall do.

And try not to get arrested.

So, we won't be going for
editorial, for obvious reasons.

But we still need to find a way

to get in front of
international buyers.

Yeah, but don't they want
places closer to the city?

This house is unique.

The right person is going to
walk through the door and think,

"I've got to have this."

Is that new?

Yeah.

It's an engagement ring.

Last weekend I flew up to
noosa, and I popped the question.

People still say that?

Did she make you the
happiest man in Australia?

Yeah, she did, actually.

Well, we should have
a celebratory drink.

I have some wine open.

Sure.

One won't hurt.

Cheers.

Hey.

I got fired today.

What happened?

You ok?

I was accused of hacking.

Wow.

You know, maybe
it's for the best.

What are we gonna do, Jamie?

How do we pay the school fees?

How do we pay the mortgage?

Ok, listen.

I tell you what.

Why don't you use this
time on jury duty to just,

you know, send out some emails?

It's not that easy.

What...

To who?

Would...

Could one of your
clients maybe help?

Yeah, I don't think that's
entirely appropriate, George.

You prioritised your family.

The right employer will
see that as a good thing.

Ok?

So...

It's fine.

I mean, it sounds like
it's still under consideration.

But why would
he do that in the first place?

You've seriously
pissed off Bryce.

Making a woke inner-city white
guy recognise his own racism?

The worst possible of fence.

How much damage can he do?

Oh, academically, nothing.

But in terms of your
scholarship, he's basically god.

Should have asked for
that extension straight away.

I would've, but I didn't know
I was gonna get arrested.

Oh, do it anyway.

There are students who totally
work the system from day one.

My god, the kids with the
academic parents are the worst.

Extensions, special consideration,
class credits for bullshit courses.

We should offer a
masters in entitlement.

My round?

Glass of prosecco.

Thank you.

What the fuck,
I've got right of way!

Simon! I'm so sorry.

I'm really, really, sorry.

- I just, I didn't see you.
- Hey, hey, hey.

It wasn't her fault.

You ok? It's ok.

Yeah. You're alright.

I didn't know it
was you. I'm sorry.

Oh, man.

Whoa. You ok?

Yeah, no, I'm...
You look a bit rattled.

Fine, I'm fine.

I just...

I just got fired,

and I don't know who's
gonna pick up my kids.

I'm sorry. Hang on...

How old's your daughter?

17. She's 17, right?

They like money.
They want money.

Can't she babysit, something?

Yeah, I don't... I mean...

Yeah, I could pay her.

Could sort that out
with Ava, alright?

But I'll message her now.

We'll sort something out.

Good.

Alright.

- Thank you, Simon.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm really sorry... All good!

You ok?

Yeah.

Thank you. Welcome to court.

Please take a seat, sir.

Mr Lawson,

please describe your
contact with Claire Spears

in the months leading
up to her disappearance.

Claire sent me a friend
request thing online.

I accepted it.

Did she give you
any reason for reaching out?

Oh, she said she was
curious about family history.

You know, from memory, it
was more along the lines of...

Of how did the family
get so fucked up.

How often did you communicate?

Hard to say.

There'd be a burst of ten
messages a day, you know,

and then she'd ignore a
message for months, so...

And in any of these communications,
did Claire refer to Kate Lawson?

Yeah.

Mostly she wanted
to know about Kate,

and what happened
with belinda...

Your hon our!

Madam crown, please
keep your witness on track.

Thank you, your hon our.

What conclusions did you draw

about the relationship between
Claire and her aunt, Kate Lawson?

Intense.

No surprises there.

Most of Kate's relationships
were pretty intense,

but...

This seemed more
obsessive, yeah,

on both sides.

Obsessive on both sides.

Your hon our, I draw
the court's attention

to page 17 of the printout

of Claire Spears'
online communications

with her uncle, Robbie Lawson.

Exhibit cc.

Who do you understand Claire to
be referring to as "the crazy bitch?"

Ah, yeah.

Kate Lawson, my sister.

What do you believe Kate
was asking Claire to do?

Yeah...

Masturbate on camera with a...

I don't... With a tie
around her neck.

Tell the truth!

Sit down please, sir.

Been 30 years, Robbie.
You can tell the truth now!

Sit down!

I went to jail for
you, you crazy bitch...

Remove that man from my court...

Tell the fucking truth, Robbie!

Tell the fucking truth!

Quickly, get him out.

Oh, fuck you! I'm innocent.

It was her!

She's the fucking liar!

Get him out!
- Tell the truth!

I'm innocent! Sheriff, please,

escort the jury
to the jury room.

30 years!
30 years of my life!

Ladies and gentlemen,
please clear the gallery.

Kate.

Bel!

We're going!

Not you.

Hurry up.

Bye!
