Colby: If you take the stand,

and if any juror on the fence
sees you as untrustworthy,

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

Ms Lawson, did you have
an affair with Nathan Spears?

I did.

Has anyone else
noticed the shift in attitude

in Kate's sister
towards her? Brutal.

Decent people expect to
be punished for what they did.

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

so just give me names of the
ones most likely to be voting guilty.

Vanessa: Why were you there?

I feel like I've been
totally gaslit right now.

Then just go.

My wife. I need a top
immigration lawyer.

I can't help you.

You are out of here, right now.

You get the fuck out
of here, you parasite.

She's sick of your shit.

Jamie! What was on your camera,

Jamie! What was on your camera,

when you came home the
night that Claire disappeared?

The only person that
was home was Claire.

Did she take any photos?

Kate: She did. What
happened to those photos?

You should ask my sister.

What is it? "Kate
Lawson has killed before."

One more. Now look to me.

(Camera shutter)

Stunning.

That's perfect. Hold that there.

Looks so good.

So good.

(Indistinct)

That's really sweet.

(Laughs)

So good!

"Kate Lawson has killed before."

"Kate Lawson has killed before."

It was posted by the
justice for Steve dokic group.

It's bloody nonsense, but
this is seriously prejudicial,

and I think we should be applying
for the jury to be discharged.

And what if I were
to say it was true?

(Sighs)

Steve dokic was on the prowl
for young girls to photograph.

He took some harmless
snaps down by the water.

That was it.

But then I...

I kept seeing him,

and the photographs started
to get more and more...

He was into kink.

Schoolgirl fetish stuff.

But he encouraged
my photography,

and we started having sex.

I was 14 years old.

I was curious.

I thought it was cool and adult.

But then he asked me to
invite belinda along as well.

So I did.

(Moaning)

(Moaning in pain)

It's ok.

(Moaning in pain)

It's ok.

You're ok.

Good, huh?

You loved it.

I'm gonna have a shower.

What the hell, Kate?

You ok?

Look, I made drinks for us.

No, I'm getting out of
here before he comes back.

You can stay. What?

Don't!

I fucking hate you.

Hey, there's nothing
wrong with experimenting.

You knew the guy was a creep.

And you chose to come here.

Well, I didn't know he had a sex
dungeon where he chokes schoolgirls.

How old is he, anyway?

I'm calling the police.

No, no, no, no, no!

They won't believe you!

Hey, no! No! No!

(Screams)

Present Kate: She hit her head.

And I can still hear
the sound it made.

(Ominous music)

Steve would have
found her like that.

Oh, god, we were
only 14 years old.

He was the one breaking the law,

so I just convinced
myself that he deserved it.

Did you tell anyone about this?
Did you tell anyone about this?

Of course, I did.

When I got home, I
was an absolute mess.

I told Diane, I told Robbie,

and the three of
us told dad together.

Dad called the police, and
he sent them over to Steve's.

And he made us tell them that
I had been home for two hours.

That I had seen belinda and Steve
fucking, and I had left that house.

When the police got to Steve's,

they found him putting
belinda's body into his car.

He said he was taking
her to the hospital,

but she was already dead.

He had everything against him.

Sex with a minor,
ligature marks, his semen,

the fact that they were alone,

that he was covering up a crime.

Of course, he claimed that he didn't
do it, that he'd found her that way,

but who was gonna
believe that story?

Well, none of this has any bearing
whatsoever on the present case.

But we must apply for a jury
discharge, and end it today.

But we must apply for a jury
discharge, and end it today.

When I breached my bail, I
went to the desert to kill myself.

Diane talked me
into coming back.

She said that she'd already lost
her marriage and her daughter,

and if she lost me, it would
push her over the edge.

The only thing that
gave me the courage

to face this trial was Diane.

So if we were to go
through this all over again,

with the real story out
there, with Diane against me,

I don't think I
could survive that.

(Sighs)

No, no.

The best chance
I have is this jury.

(Theme music)

So Steve dokic's fan group posted
the whole thing on social media.

So Steve dokic's fan group posted
the whole thing on social media.

But mainstream
media can't report it,

or it'll be in breach of
the suppression order.

It's miraculous.

I pull your client
apart on the stand,

and you've suddenly got
grounds to discharge the jury.

Nothing to do with me.

And yet here we are having a
meeting we shouldn't be having.

Look, I still have
nine holes to play,

so unless you both wanna
follow me around this course,

cut to the chase.

Well, in fact,

my client has instructed me
not to request a jury discharge.

So miracles do abound, but
in your favour, as it happens.

But the story does
contain material

that your honour has
ruled to be inadmissible,

so I will be requesting
time is of the essence,

that the jury is sequestered
after the next session.

Before they've even
started deliberations?

That's highly unusual, Brett.

Well, the crown
has spent two years,

and the court three months
and several million dollars

getting the case to this point.

A discharge would
mean a new trial,

listed who knows when, given
the number of cases in the system.

Listed who knows when, given
the number of cases in the system.

And your client might
remain on remand all that time.

So, I'll have the sheriff
call the jurors again,

impel them to stay
off social media,

and get them to bring
packed bags to court.

But you will both keep your
closing addresses succinct.

Stick to the issues.

No grandstanding.

I want them in deliberations,

quickly.

Oh, fuck it.

It's not just about
freedom, it's about trust.

You can't just disappear.

I am sorry.

I just wanna do my art,
and I wanna see Joe.

Well, if you can promise to
communicate with us properly,

then...

We can say yes for now,

and then see how we go.

And then see how we go.

(Chuckles)

Your dad's gonna be out
of range for a few days,

but I'm not gonna keep anything
from him, so don't ask me to.

What if we need
you for something?

Should we call missing persons?

(Chuckles)

I'll slip you a sneaky text to let
you know where I am, if I can.

Ok, bye. Bye.

I want my door back!

Bye!

Jamie: Wait, so
how long is it for?

I don't know.

So you're happy leaving your kids
in the care of a teenage tattoo artist

who nearly killed our daughter?

Jamie, that could
have happened with us,

and...

Ava's boyfriend is
not gonna be there.

I trust that Ava's
learnt her lesson.

Tell the court you're sorry.

Explain about my new job,
and say you have to leave today.

You know I can't do that.

Which hotel is it, at least?

They haven't told us.

And I won't have a mobile
phone or access to Internet,

so that's why I
won't be answering.

Yeah, I've heard
these lies before.

You weren't in
a hotel last time.

Flip: You skipping
town, little bro?

Funny.

Look, we gotta press
pause on finalising the sale.

What are you talking about?

We've been busting our arse trying
to whip the Chinese across the line.

I know.

Mate, listen, alright?

The cops have got
nothing on us, alright?

No one's talked, ok?

He wasn't even on the books.

Everything's gonna
be fine. I told someone.

Who?

Who did...

It was corrie, wasn't it?
It was corrie, wasn't it?

You know what, Lex?

If only dad knew what a
fucking pussy you were,

he would have
never made you ceo.

Thanks, bro.

Jury's been sequestered.

No outside contact
till we give the verdict.

Give me a chance
to think about things.

You wanna think about
things, do you, little bro?

Why don't you think about this?

Think about what it'll do to my
family if this deal goes belly up!

You useless piece of shit!

(Solemn music)

Nice of the judge to
throw us a slumber party.

You ok? Yeah.

I'm sorry about what happened.

It's just him turning to my house
like that, he was asking for it.

Forget it.

It was wrong of me to
tell him your name anyway.

I can't imagine he's too
happy about the sequestering.

You know, after this,
you've gotta get away.

After this, he's
moving us to mount isa.

He's been offered
a new position,

and we leave as soon
as jury duty's finished.

Can't you see what he's doing?

He's isolating
you in a rural town.

He'll say he won't do it
again, new leaf, all that shit.

Then he will. Some
men can't change,

even if they want to, mean to.

You can't stay. I
can't lose my kids.

Use this time that you've got to
make a plan to take them and go.

Female officer: Phones, please!

Simon.

I heard your daughter turned up.

Simon: Can you believe I'm
on the phone to missing persons,

and she walks in,
like nothing happened.

Where was she?

Making a point.

Caught a train up to a
friend's place in the mountains

to show that she's grown up,

and she can do
whatever she likes.

I wanted to throttle her.

But you know, we all agreed
that we need to compromise.

And yeah.

I'm just relieved
she came home safe.

Judge muir: You've now
heard all the evidence.

You've listened to
the closing addresses

of crown and defence.

You've heard my summing up.

And it is now time

for you to begin the important
task of your deliberations.

In the last 24 hours,

has any juror seen a social media
story that named the defendant?

Has any juror seen a social media
story that named the defendant?

Jurors: No.

Very well.

As the sheriff has informed you,

you are to be
sequestered at a city hotel.

Now you will not have access

to phones, laptops,
newspapers, radio, or television.

You'll not be allowed
contact with anyone

except your fellow
jurors and the sheriffs.

You'll stay sequestered for as
long as it takes you to reach a verdict.

Do you understand
these instructions?

Jurors: Yes.

Please take your room keys.

I didn't get a card.

I'm juror a.

As there are 13 of you and
only 12 can go into deliberations,

you're not required
to sequester.

Ok.

Why Georgina?

Oh, no, it's fine. She's
the alternate juror.

Oh, no, it's fine. She's
the alternate juror.

But shouldn't there be a ballot?

I mean, you said we were going
to draw straws or something.

Perhaps not in this country.

But we need you.

You're a measured person.

Lily: We're all needed.

I'll leave. No.

No, I've got three kids.

Really, I would rather go.

I lied.

I saw the social media story.

So if I go into
deliberation, it's a mistrial.

I'll go, everyone.

Sheriff: I'll have
to tell the judge.

Have you discussed the social
media story with anyone else?

Ok.

(Solemn music)

Oh, look out, it's
Ernie and Bert.

You guys got a little
double act going now?

What happened, mate?

Otto called about the sequester,
but look who's not on the bus.

Oh, yeah, they voted
me out of the group.

No surprises there, you loser.

Hey, I'm not a complete idiot.
Hey, I'm not a complete idiot.

I managed to get this
get-out-of-jail-free card.

That way I can get into the
hotel, talk to them on the sly.

That's not good enough.

Without your voting
for at least a hung jury,

now we need a mistrial.

Oh, how're you gonna
swing that, scarf boy?

Obviously, all the jurors need
to see that social media story,

don't they, mate?

Simon: So, who's up
for a preliminary vote?

Oh, you can't start with a vote!

We haven't even deliberated yet.

Mother superior.

Ezekiel: Guilty. Guilty.

I think she was
killed by her father.

I don't like or trust
that man at all.

Ezekiel: The redhead?

Not guilty.

Simon: It's pretty obvious,

apart from all the facts

about how and when she could
have left the house without being seen,

a teenaged girl just doesn't
leave her phone behind.

Ezekiel: Guilty. Guilty.

Peter: We have to be serious!

Peter: We have to be serious!

I wouldn't want
us lot to be my jury.

Papa smurf.

Guilty.

Vanessa: Well she has
a mental health condition

that could have
made her panic and lie,

even if it's irrational.

Sporty spice.

Not guilty.

Farrad: We all agree
that Claire is dead, yes?

Guilty.

Jarrod: But like he said
in his closing statement,

all the evidence for
murder is circumstantial.

Not guilty.

Alexi: For fuck's sake,
who else killed her?

The crown said if she died
by accident or it was a suicide,

there'd be a body.

Ezekiel: Adonis?

Guilty.

Corrie: Kate might
have found her dead.

Ezekiel: Girl boss.

Query.

Trevor: Let's get it over with.

Guilty.

Georgina: If didn't do
anything wrong, why lie?

Query.

Ezekiel: The gamer?

Query.

Simon: That's a
way off consensus.

Corrie: Let's get some rest.

Formal deliberations
start tomorrow.

Which one do you prefer?

Do you want a cracker
without the cheese?

(Background chatter)

(Text message ringtone)

(Background chatter)

(Ominous music)

(Ominous music intensifies)

(Dramatic music)

(Phone beeping)

(Knocking on the door)

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

How did you find me?

How do you know my room number...
I swiped one of your key cards,

because I knew it was the
only way I would get to see you.

I've found you a
place to go after here.

Another option. Garry...

Look, I left the jury
for you and trust me,

that has not been
to my advantage,

so don't waste this opportunity.

There is a woman I know
called Sophia, from ga.

She's very lovely.

She has a beach
shack down the coast.

So, I've spoken
to her about you.

She said that you can
go there with the kids

and use it until you
get yourself sorted.

(Knock on the door)

Who's that?

I don't know. They put
us all on the same floor.

Here, just go. Go in here. Go.

Hey. Pool and margaritas?

No TV or phone, so don't
tell me you're too busy.

Ah, ok.

Just, ah, give me
a couple of seconds

just to get my bathers. Cool.

Ok.

(Dramatic music)

(Laughing)

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music continues)

Fucking liar!

Fucking bitch!

What have you fucking done?

Corrie: Nice inside? Oh!

You fucked him, didn't you?

Didn't you? Hey,
are you coming out?

What? Hey!

Help!

Get off her!

Somebody!

Help!

Get off her! Help!

Help!

Is everything alright? Help!

Security! Someone get that guy!

Alexi: Hold this. Oi,
oi! Someone get him!

Hey! Stop! Jarrod: Alexi!

Security! Hey.

Stop that guy!

Hey.

Are you ok?

Yeah. Yeah.

God, who was that creep?

(Sombre music)

It's my husband.

Hey, come here.

(Sombre music)

(Dramatic music)

Don't read it!

Hello, don't read it!

Hello! Read what?

(Dramatic music)

No! Don't open it.

We have to tell everyone else.

Hello?

(Dramatic music)

Georgina: Hey, I really
don't want to see a doctor.

Guys?

Have you been out of your
room for the past 30 minutes?

Vanessa: Yeah? Why?

Corrie: Then he went after her

and just started
strangling her...

(Dramatic music)

Then he went after
her. Anyway, um...

Alexi: Yeah, yeah, he
came out of the bathroom.

(Indistinct chatter)

(Tense music)

Hey. Hey.

Thank you.

(Tense music)

Right, we're all here.

Did you read it?

Yeah.

Jarrod: It had to be garry.

I mean, he was here. I
saw him across the road.

Georgina: You can't
know that for sure.

It could have been my husband.

He wanted the trial to be over

and he would have done
anything to make me come home.

Farrad: Four have
read it, eight didn't.

We should probably
recuse ourselves.

But if the majority agree
to trust the four of us

to come to a fair decision,

based only on the
facts that we all know,

then we could continue
our deliberations.

But we all have to be in agreement.
Alexi: Corrie's the foreperson.

It's up to you.

Well, we've...

..We've all come this far.

Does anyone here wanna call it?

Ok, great.

We continue as planned and
start deliberations tomorrow.

Claire didn't walk out of
the house by the front door.

She could have
went the back way.

Alexi: She would have
passed the fisherman.

Peter: No using transport, no
phone, no bank accounts touched,

no friends or relatives
have heard from her.

Her father. He's a possibility.

Simon: Exhibit a. If Nathan
had gone back to Kate's,

he would have been seen.

Even if he walked along the shore,
fisherman would have seen him.

Jarrod: Are you saying
he never went to sleep?

What is he, staking out
the place for the FBI?

Sorry, don't buy the
father killing his daughter

to cover up an affair.

Lily: An affair with
his wife's sister!

Plus, if he's still
shagging her,

then he loses his
money from his new wife.

Farrad: What about
the forensic evidence?

The blood on the cutter and
the bleach in the wheelbarrow?

I just keep coming back

to the fact that we
don't have a body.

I mean, I'm with the defence.

Even if she's dead...

..How do you determine who,
if you can't figure out how?

..How do you determine who,
if you can't figure out how?

Alexi: Who else?

Who else was in the house?

Who else was involved

in the lesbian grooming
of 14-year-olds?

Taking photos,
overly-sexualised photos,

of two young girls? She's
clearly sick in the head.

How do you get gayness
and mental illness

confused with
fucking criminality?

Are you're either
morons or bigots.

I'm fucking out.

Fuck this.

Yeah, so...

..Everyone's just wondering
if you're coming back.

'Cause we can't
go on without you.

I'm just really struggling
with some personal shit,

and it's all just too much.

You know, no one in that room
knows what it's like to be bent.

And I feel like they're
just judging Kate

for all the wrong reasons.

For all the wrong reasons.

(Sombre music)

And maybe I'm
not judging Kate...

..For all the wrong reasons.

(Sombre music)

And what am I even
complaining about?

I mean, you're the one
going through real hell.

(Sombre music)

I'm glad they arrested him.

Your kids ok?

Yeah.

Simon's wife and daughter
are looking after them

until we know what's happening.

Thanks so much for coming up.

(Sombre music)

Thanks.

(Slow paced music)

You don't put a body in a
wheelbarrow and take it...

Wood! ..To a boat...

Alexi: Which was
stolen. She took wood!

Hold up. This is
the cops' story.

There's no other story!

Peter: Agreed.

But it bothers me,
she could let her sister

think her daughter
was still alive for so long!

Which is why I say, she
didn't. The girl ran away.

Simon: Oh mate, we've
all agreed she's dead.

Can you get on the
same page? Lily: Trevor.

Georgina: None of
this is normal behaviour.

Or am I alone in thinking that?

No, she was pushing
every boundary.

Reckless. Impulsive.

But murder isn't a
trait of her disorder.

Jarrod: You heard the defence.

Claire loved her aunty.

She wasn't being corrupted.

Yeah, I agree with jarrod...

(Jurors argue over each other)

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

Time's up.

We have to vote again.

(Slow paced music)

The judge was told that
we haven't reached a verdict.

He said that we have to
stay here and keep going

until we can get to a majority.

Trevor: Is 11 out of 12 enough?

Yes.

But he also said that we
need to strive for unanimity.

How can we be unanimous

when one of us never
even opens his mouth?

(Tense music)

What do you want me to say?

Anything. Fuck!

Yes, dear, we have to wonder
if you're following the logic.

Yes, dear, we have to wonder
if you're following the logic.

You think astrology
is any more stupid

than basing your ideas
on what the Bible says?

(Vanessa laughing)

Boom! Shot down
by the silent kid!

And you can't
seriously judge someone

by their star sign.

That's unconscionable.

(Vanessa laughing)

You think Kate
Lawson's cool, like you.

But lots of
narcissists seem cool

until they fuck
other people over.

Georgina: Hey.

We're here to judge
Kate, not each other.

It's easy to feel powerful when
you can hide behind anonymity,

but what would you have the
guts to say to Kate Lawson's face?

Simon: Enough.

You know the trouble
with entitled white males?

They always mistake
opinion for fact.

Mm, true that.

Not everyone's victimised
by the system, dude.

And life isn't fair.

So what?

Does it mean others
deserve to suffer

because you do?
Corrie: Hey, hey, hey.

I think you've made your point.

And what about you
two rulebreakers?

You think we don't know
you've been hooking up?

Are you above the law?

All I'm saying is who
are we, any of us,

to sit in judgement of
another human being?

We're all fucked.

No one here's impartial.

Amen.

About how what he
said was tough but right.

The jury's full of
people with problems

and that makes
them less rational.

But...

..You and I, I feel, well...

..I feel we
understand each other.

(Slow paced music)

(Knock on the door)

(Slow paced music)

(Knock on the door)

(Slow paced music)

You gonna invite me in?

(Slow paced music)

Some speech you made,

considering you're the one
that's judging and hiding.

I'm not hiding.

I have social anxiety.

Alright?

But it doesn't mean
I'm not listening.

People should learn that it's best
to be the last to speak in a room,

not the first.

You're a gemini.

Yeah.

And Ethan.

What?

My name's Ethan.

It's nice to finally
meet you, Ethan.

(Slow paced music)

(Slow paced music continues)

(Suspenseful music)

I thought you were a lesbian.

I'm a human being.

(Upbeat music)

Well, you're the hardest
guy in town to pin down.

I wonder how it felt for him.

That's about the
height he fell from.

If he knew when he...

Fuck.

We were so close with the deal.

You're turning yourself in?

What about flip?

He has a family to look after.

I took the body to
the bus stop myself.

Flip was at home asleep.

Alexi.

You don't have to do this.

How else can I look
my kids in the eye?

(Tense music)

I think about my
grandmother and my family.

It's not coming out of nowhere.

And what if I pass the
same thing onto my kids?

You know, I've always
blamed other people

for making me feel crazy.
For making me feel crazy.

(Slow paced music)

But it's me.

(Slow paced music)

I can hardly live with myself.

I mean, how can I
expect anyone else to?

(Slow paced music)

(Car honks in the distance)

Thanks for not
having sex with me.

Hmm.

You're welcome.

(Slow paced music)

(Slow paced music continues)

(Slow paced music continues)

If we can't agree as a group
that Kate did commit murder,

can we at least agree
that she could have,

and then discuss
the possible motives?

Margaret: Her art is
damning, in my opinion.

Corrie: That's not how I saw it.

Just the opposite, actually.

But her artist statements.

Obsession with death.

Isn't murder the
ultimate expression,

the final work of art?

She had a fixation from her
past and was playing at it.

Are you being influenced
by what was inadmissible?

We agreed no.

I'm going to read the transcript
of mr Colby's closing remarks,

just so we can all
remember what he said.

"Art is metaphor, not
confession..." Colby: Not confession.

"Art is metaphor, not
confession..." Colby: Not confession.

If the law required
us to treat artworks

as confessions of guilt,

then Sidney Nolan should
be hanged as a bushranger.

"For thousands of years,

"artists have represented
death and the dead.

"But this is the very first
court to call that a confession."

She's dead.

Someone killed her
and disposed of her body.

We have closed down
every other scenario.

It had to be Kate. Or
she found her dead.

A reasonable person
would call the police.

We've been through
this. We're stuck.

But we have a lawyer in
the room who can lead us out.

To be clear, I
can't practise here.

That's why I'm
allowed on the jury.

No, no, no, farrad, he's right.

If you have any advice
for us, we would welcome it.

Otherwise, we might
end up with a hung jury.

You don't need
a lawyer for this.

It's just common sense.

It's just common sense.

The best way is to focus on
the four who are in the minority.

Let's listen to what
makes them doubt.

We need three or
the four to vote guilty

and we have a majority.

Or seven to vote not guilty.

Right.

Corrie, jarrod,
Trevor and Margaret.

Trevor?

Can you please lay
out your reasons for us?

No, it's alright.

I'll just go with
the majority. Oi!

How is that justice?

You agree with everything.

Dude, what's your
actual opinion?

Guilty.

Jarrod, what's
your sticking point?

Reasonable doubt.

But I don't understand
what the rules are.

It's subjective.

There's no guidelines
for reasonable doubt.

I had reasonable
doubt that she killed her,

and I'm convinced now that
she disposed of the body.

And I guess,

I don't know why she would do
that if she hadn't murdered her.

(Exhales)

(Suspenseful music)

Guilty.

(Suspenseful music)

By definition, it can't be
murder if it wasn't pre-meditated.

There is no body and there
is not enough evidence.

If Kate found Claire dead,

then maybe she felt
the need to lie about it,

for whatever reason.
For whatever reason.

Covering up a
suicide, who knows?

But if Claire died while
they were taking photos,

then that is
manslaughter, not murder.

So I cannot vote
guilty to murder.

That is it.

If she is responsible
for Claire's death,

she deserves to be punished.

She's already been punished,

by losing her niece,
by living with that guilt.

She tried to get away with
it. That is morally wrong.

If she didn't mean to do anything,
why should she take the fall for it?

People need to
do what is decent,

what's right.

Otherwise, how can
they live with themselves?

I am not voting
guilty to murder.

That is my position
and it is not changing.

Margaret.

I'm still abstaining.

Kate Lawson lost her mother.

She had an abusive father.

She was mentally unfit
to be Claire's guardian.

She was mentally unfit
to be Claire's guardian.

So the blame is
worn by the parents.

Kate doesn't belong in jail.

She belongs in psychiatric care.

My conscience just won't
let me say she's guilty

and send her to jail.

You're not sentencing her.

That part is up to the judge.

If you're agreeing
that she's guilty,

that's all we need to know.

He's right.

Margaret.

You're answering to the state,

not your conscience.

You know she did it.

What if you don't convict her

and we find out down the
track that she did it again?

What if she kills Nathan's child

or some other young girl?

What if she's done it before?

(Sombre music)

That's what they're
keeping from us, isn't it?

The point is, the system
favours the perpetrator,

the point is, the system
favours the perpetrator,

not the victim.

It happens all the time.

Someone isn't punished.

So they do it again

and again.

Kate needs to be
held accountable.

For everybody else's safety.

(Tense music)

It's time.

(Suspenseful music)

Will the foreperson please rise?

(Tense silence)

I understand you've
reached a verdict?

Yes, your honour.

Would the accused please stand?

In the relation to
the count of murder,

how say you?

Is the accused, Kate
Lawson, guilty or not?

(Tense music)

Guilty, your honour.

(Indistinct chatter)

So says your foreperson,

so say you all.

(Tense music)

(Dramatic music)

Well, I love you too.

Can I speak to mummy, please?

Margaret.

Margaret.

Look.

(Gasps) Uh-huh.

Oh!

You did the right thing.

Come on.

We can discuss this
on the way home.

I think I've had enough discussing
this case to last a lifetime.

(Chuckles)

Well, we'll talk about
whatever you want to talk about.

Oh.

Since attending jury duty
was the inciting problem,

then I believe that a
supporting document

from your honour
to the university

will encourage them to approve
jarrod's transfer to a new degree.

What are you transferring to?

Law, your honour.

(Chuckles) Well, I can
hardly decline now, can I?

It'd be a pleasure.

Thank you, your honour.

(Indistinct chatter)

Farrad?

Yes?

Paul grey.

Immigration lawyer.

And here's my card.

I believe you have an
issue you'd like to discuss.

I... ..Yeah, I do.

(Indistinct chatter)

(Dulcet music)

Well, it's not the
end of the story.

You have plenty of
grounds for appeal,

so don't despair.

(Whispers) I didn't kill Claire.

I didn't.

You can call this
verdict justice for belinda,

but I'm not guilty.

Those negatives?

I asked Diane to hide them behind
a self-portrait on my studio wall.

I asked Diane to hide them behind
a self-portrait on my studio wall.

She said she didn't have them.
Yes, because she was angry.

She's angry about Nathan.

Those, those photos
that Claire took that night?

She set up the camera

and she completed
the final piece.

She... (Breaths)

..Had the tie around her neck

and the other end
around the staircase.

And she was alone.

She was all alone.

And she went too far.

And it was an accident.

Are you telling me you've
had evidence of this all along?

By the time I found
her, she was dead.

She was dead. It was too late.

She was dead. It was too late.

And I...

..I just, I panicked.

So many times I should have
walked away from this case.

(Shouts) You! You said
that without a body...

So much time... ..I
would be acquitted!

..So much energy, so
many... And I believed you!

(Shouts) ..What
were you thinking?

(Shouts) What was I thinking?

I was thinking it was
belinda all over again,

that's what I was thinking!

And that Diane... Diane
would never, ever get over it.

And so even in
those horrible hours

where I wrapped
up Claire's little body

and I put her in
that fucking boat,

and I... (Sniffles)

..I just, I convinced
myself that,

that if I just said
that she'd run away,

that, that would be
better than the truth.

As soon as I broke
bail, Diane knew.

She just knew.

And (sniffles)

When I showed her the photos

that Claire had taken,

I told her I would
go to the police,

I would take them to the
police, but she said no.

I would take them to the
police, but she said no.

She said that there were
too many lies out there

and she was so afraid that they
would reinvestigate belinda and...

(Exhales)

..And uncover all of that
stuff that we'd been hiding,

all of us, for so long.

Diane decided that
if I was acquitted,

then no one would know
about the cover-up anyway,

and if I was found guilty,
then we had those photos.

We had those photos to
prove it was an accident.

But now Diane is
not speaking to me

and so you have to go
and find those negatives.

You have to get the negatives.

I'm genuinely sorry that
I didn't get you acquitted.

This case is over for me.

But I'm telling the truth.

You'll find another lawyer.

And, ah, I wish you well.

And, ah, I wish you well.

I sincerely wish you well.

I need you.

I need you!

I'm sorry!

(Sombre music)

I loved her.

(Cries)

(Sombre music)

Well, you failed her.

I don't agree.

Oh, no, man, you failed.

Kate wasn't the one
orchestrating things,

Claire was.

The muse holds the power.

Claire had Kate
in thrall to her.

It wasn't the other way around.

That's one thing I know is true,

that's one thing I know is true,

and they all missed it.

You missed that.

(Machine beeps)

Police officer: Next.

(Machine beeps)

(Sombre music)

(Melancholy music)

(Grill whirls)

(Mellow orchestral music)

Oi.

In you get, mate.

(Truck shuts)

(Engine starts)

(Mellow orchestral music)

(Birds chirp)

Diane?

(Suspenseful music)

Diane!

(Dramatic music)

(Fire crackling)
