like to proceed?

I can adjourn this matter,

80
00:04:28,026 --> 00:04:30,718

to continue. Uh, Mr Myers?

81
00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:32,444

under the circumstances,

84

although my client has been
put to considerable, uh...

85

So I am flagging that the Church

86
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:47,735
will be seeking
an order for costs...

87
00:04:48,495 --> 00:04:50,635
and that they be paid by...

88

-[stenographers keys clacking]
-...the plaintiff's firm.

89

when the time comes, Mr Myers.

00:12:06,587 --> 00:12:07,519
In his pocket?

184
00:12:09,867 --> 00:12:12,110
This must be
the handwritten note.

185
00:12:12,145 --> 00:12:14,526
The suicide note.
It was found with the body.

186
00:12:15,113 --> 00:12:16,252
Can we see that?

187
00:12:26,987 --> 00:12:28,748
Jesus, there's so many names.

188
00:12:29,956 --> 00:12:30,784
[sniffles]

189
00:12:37,273 --> 00:12:39,897
"From a distance,
God is watching us".

190
00:12:41,174 --> 00:12:43,038
"Heaven is a place called love".

191
00:12:47,628 --> 00:12:49,976
"Why do I have to justify
my love?" [sniffles]

192
00:12:50,942 --> 00:12:52,219
[sighs]

193
00:12:52,254 --> 00:12:54,566
He's got no hold on you anymore.

194
00:12:54,601 --> 00:12:56,983
Then why can I still feel
his breath on me?

195
00:13:00,434 --> 00:13:01,919
I should have said something.

196
00:13:03,575 --> 00:13:04,922
I should have fought him off.

197
00:13:05,854 --> 00:13:06,820
You were a child.

198
00:13:10,997 --> 00:13:12,930
But you could fight back now.

199
00:13:14,138 --> 00:13:15,795
If you feel strong enough.

200
00:13:16,278 --> 00:13:17,175
[sighs]

201
00:13:20,696 --> 00:13:22,594
So Katherine referred you to me?

202
00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:24,769
Yes, she's gone
on maternity leave.

203
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:28,497
Hmm. Well, I... I've had
my share of these sorts of cases

204
00:13:28,531 --> 00:13:30,326
with limited results.

205
00:13:30,361 --> 00:13:33,813
Yeah, I heard about that case.
Sorry to hear.

206
00:13:33,847 --> 00:13:35,331
[Stephen]
Well, then you'll understand

207
00:13:35,366 --> 00:13:37,644
why I'm not interested
in taking on another one.

208
00:13:40,543 --> 00:13:42,925
[Joy] You have a little girl.
Is that right, Steve?

209
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,375
Eleven?

210
00:13:44,409 --> 00:13:46,170
Yes, Hannah.
I have four children.

211
00:13:46,204 --> 00:13:47,102
-Mrs Conolly--
-[Joy] Hannah.

212
00:13:47,896 --> 00:13:51,451
Well, in 1990,
my patient Lyndal,

213
00:13:51,485 --> 00:13:53,453
she was barely a year older
than your Hannah.

214
00:13:54,730 --> 00:13:56,836
She was groomed...

215
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,699
sexualised
and repeatedly molested

216
00:13:58,734 --> 00:14:00,874
by her housemaster
at Toowoomba Prep.

217
00:14:02,703 --> 00:14:05,706
If it was 1990,
unfortunately we're out of time.

218
00:14:05,741 --> 00:14:07,812
No, no, no, sorry,
I didn't explain myself.

219
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:10,850
Uh, Katherine actually filed
before Lyndal turned 21.

220
00:14:10,884 --> 00:14:12,506
So we're in time.

221
00:14:12,541 --> 00:14:14,715
We have a mediation booked in

222
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:16,752
and a barrister
has already been briefed.

223
00:14:18,685 --> 00:14:19,962
All we need is you.

224
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:24,864
-Can you, um...
-[Joy] Leave it with you.

225
00:14:26,762 --> 00:14:28,591
Thank you.

226
00:14:28,626 --> 00:14:32,733
-What exactly did Kat say?
-[Joy] She said that you might

227
00:14:32,768 --> 00:14:34,874
just be crazy enough
to take the case.

228
00:14:36,599 --> 00:14:38,567
And not to tell you
who the barrister was

229
00:14:38,601 --> 00:14:40,672
until you'd agreed
to read the file.

230
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:48,749
[tape clatters]

231
00:14:49,267 --> 00:14:50,682
Holy shit.

232
00:14:57,517 --> 00:14:58,552
[sighs]

233
00:15:12,290 --> 00:15:14,361
He would have his arms
around my back.

234
00:15:16,812 --> 00:15:17,951
Touch my hair.

235
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:20,920
Touch my face.

236
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,820
He asked
if I wanted to lie down.

237
00:15:26,891 --> 00:15:29,756
I said I didn't know
and he kissed me.

238
00:15:31,827 --> 00:15:34,243
He said I was a good kisser.

239
00:15:34,278 --> 00:15:36,107
Jesus, Steve, one of the kids
could walk in.

240
00:15:36,142 --> 00:15:37,557
-No they're asleep.
-Well, why don't you

241
00:15:37,591 --> 00:15:39,283
turn it down at least?

242
00:15:39,317 --> 00:15:41,388
Yeah, I got it, I got it,
I got it.

243
00:15:41,423 --> 00:15:43,321
- Then he touched me.
-[Stephen sighs]

244
00:15:44,184 --> 00:15:45,565
[Wendy] Who is she?

245
00:15:45,599 --> 00:15:47,256
Twelve-year-old, abused

246
00:15:47,291 --> 00:15:48,948
-by a boarding housemaster.
-Twelve years old.

247
00:15:50,363 --> 00:15:51,433
Toowoomba Prep.

248
00:15:53,297 --> 00:15:54,954
Half the people we know
have kids there.

249
00:15:56,438 --> 00:15:57,335
Exactly.

250
00:16:06,034 --> 00:16:08,346
I thought you said
no more cases like this.

251
00:16:08,381 --> 00:16:10,072
Well, look,
this one's different.

252
00:16:10,107 --> 00:16:11,487
I'm just going to do
the mediation

253
00:16:11,522 --> 00:16:13,075
and get her a settlement.

254
00:16:15,008 --> 00:16:16,320
-Mummy?
-[Wendy] Hannah?

255
00:16:17,183 --> 00:16:18,978
-Did Daddy wake you?
-[Hannah] No.

256
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:20,358
-Come here.
-[Hannah] You did.

257
00:16:20,393 --> 00:16:21,635
-I did?
-[Hannah] You were yelling.

258
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:22,671
-I wasn't yelling.
-[Stephen grunts]

259
00:16:23,223 --> 00:16:24,604
[chuckles]

260
00:16:24,638 --> 00:16:25,846
Off to bed, girl.

261
00:16:26,537 --> 00:16:27,469
Come on.

262
00:16:28,642 --> 00:16:30,541
[footsteps receding]

263
00:16:31,956 --> 00:16:33,440
[Stephen grunts] I got you.

264
00:16:33,475 --> 00:16:35,166
[sighs] There we go.

265
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:45,176
[sighs] Now close your eyes.

266
00:16:46,729 --> 00:16:50,216
-[soft music playing]
-[birds chirping]

267
00:16:51,665 --> 00:16:53,667
[cows mooing]

268
00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:57,223
[train whistle blowing]

269
00:17:08,337 --> 00:17:09,200
There you go.

270
00:17:10,374 --> 00:17:11,340
I hate eggs.

271
00:17:13,756 --> 00:17:15,034
I've always hated eggs.

272
00:17:20,004 --> 00:17:21,799
I could do with some help
with the feed.

273
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:24,146
You should just
sell them off now.

274
00:17:25,354 --> 00:17:26,217
Cut your losses.

275
00:17:38,298 --> 00:17:40,335
[soft music continues playing]

276
00:17:48,550 --> 00:17:49,413
[crockery clattering]

277
00:17:52,761 --> 00:17:54,590
[footsteps receding]

278
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:17,061
[woman on radio] The epic
dry continues in Queensland,

279
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,822
with 84% of the state
drought-declared.

280
00:18:19,857 --> 00:18:21,962
A fourth failed wet season
in a row

281
00:18:21,997 --> 00:18:22,929
has led to little...

282
00:18:28,935 --> 00:18:31,248
The state's official
drought declaration...

283
00:18:33,940 --> 00:18:35,976
[radio continues indistinctly]

284
00:18:46,849 --> 00:18:48,679
-[handbrake ratcheting]
-[seatbelt clicking]

285
00:18:54,478 --> 00:18:55,962
[Stephen] Lyndal.

286
00:18:55,996 --> 00:18:58,275
-Steve Roche.
-[Lyndal] Found it all right?

287
00:18:58,309 --> 00:19:00,173
[Stephen] Yeah, I grew up
not far from here.

288
00:19:00,967 --> 00:19:01,864
Dairy farm.

289
00:19:09,217 --> 00:19:10,942
Mum won't let us
smoke in the house.

290
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,463
Fair enough, I guess.
I do need to speak with her.

291
00:19:17,397 --> 00:19:18,847
How long till we go to court?

292
00:19:19,813 --> 00:19:21,021
[Stephen] If.

293
00:19:21,056 --> 00:19:22,437
And I'm not your lawyer yet.

294
00:19:23,921 --> 00:19:26,337
It's a long way to come to
tell me you're not interested.

295
00:19:28,236 --> 00:19:31,170
Well, I guess
that's why I'm here...

296
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:34,897
to find out whether or not...
[sighs] ...you can handle this.

297
00:19:36,313 --> 00:19:37,383
I came to you.

298
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:40,351
I can fucking handle it.

299
00:19:45,045 --> 00:19:48,325
-[birds chirping]
-[dramatic music playing]

300
00:19:58,749 --> 00:19:59,577
[Stephen] Beautiful country.

301
00:20:00,406 --> 00:20:01,338
I hate it here.

302
00:20:06,757 --> 00:20:09,829
[Stephen] You've never even told
your parents the whole story.

303
00:20:09,863 --> 00:20:11,520
I mean, how can you tell a...

304
00:20:12,556 --> 00:20:15,662
whole courtroom
if... if we go to court?

305
00:20:16,422 --> 00:20:18,217
[Lyndal] You keep saying if.

306
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:19,563
[Stephen] Well, your barrister
doesn't think

307
00:20:19,597 --> 00:20:21,012
court's a good idea.

308
00:20:21,047 --> 00:20:23,705
He thinks the Church
is going to...

309
00:20:23,739 --> 00:20:25,362
going to want to settle
at mediation.

310
00:20:26,535 --> 00:20:27,398
Settle?

311
00:20:28,537 --> 00:20:30,367
They'd pay you off to...

312
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,231
to shut you up.

313
00:20:33,784 --> 00:20:35,751
So they just tell everyone
I'm a liar

314
00:20:35,786 --> 00:20:37,374
and then give me some money?

315
00:20:37,408 --> 00:20:39,583
Look, Lyndal,
I'll be up front with you.

316
00:20:39,617 --> 00:20:41,032
You've barely got a case.

317
00:20:41,067 --> 00:20:42,724
There's no physical evidence.

318
00:20:42,758 --> 00:20:44,139
There's no witnesses.
Kevin Guy is dead.

319
00:20:44,173 --> 00:20:46,555
And on top of all that,
the defence is going to do

320
00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:49,006
everything it can
to convince the judge...

321
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,421
that you made this all up.

322
00:20:50,456 --> 00:20:52,078
There's nothing
I haven't heard before.

323
00:20:55,357 --> 00:20:58,084
I think it's only right for me
to advise you that...

324
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:02,571
-I had a client recently.
-[Lyndal] She topped herself.

325
00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:05,091
I know.

326
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,543
If we go to trial...

327
00:21:09,406 --> 00:21:10,545
this becomes public.

328
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:13,410
Very public.

329
00:21:13,444 --> 00:21:16,102
Every sordid detail of what
happened to you in that school

330
00:21:16,136 --> 00:21:17,931
will be dragged
through the papers.

331
00:21:17,966 --> 00:21:19,623
Do you want to do it or not?

332
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:27,665
I want what's best for you.

333
00:21:28,597 --> 00:21:29,598
In the long run.

334
00:21:37,986 --> 00:21:38,918
[Lyndal exhales heavily]

335
00:21:43,716 --> 00:21:44,648
What's he like?

336
00:21:46,270 --> 00:21:47,271
The barrister?

337
00:21:50,999 --> 00:21:52,311
[Stephen] Well, he's...

338
00:21:53,726 --> 00:21:56,418
he's smart.
He's... he's cunning.

339
00:21:57,695 --> 00:21:58,696
Shrewd.

340
00:22:00,008 --> 00:22:01,147
He's one of the best.

341
00:22:03,874 --> 00:22:05,116
Can't stand the prick.

342
00:22:09,155 --> 00:22:11,951
"The little children were
brought to him that he might

343
00:22:11,985 --> 00:22:13,470
put his hands on them and pray".

344
00:22:14,402 --> 00:22:15,989
"But the disciples rebuked him".

345
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:19,303
"But Jesus said...

346
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,719
'Let the children come to me,
do not hinder them'.

347
00:22:22,755 --> 00:22:26,552
'For to such belongs
the kingdom of heaven'".

348
00:22:31,695 --> 00:22:33,731
Thank you, Mr Brewster.

349
00:22:33,766 --> 00:22:37,010
And thank you
for joining us today.

350
00:22:37,045 --> 00:22:40,324
Much of the refurbishment
of this part of the school

351
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,464
began when you were principal.

352
00:22:42,499 --> 00:22:43,845
This magnificent centre...

353
00:22:44,742 --> 00:22:46,365
owes its existence to you.

354
00:22:46,986 --> 00:22:52,854
[crowd applauding]

355
00:22:52,888 --> 00:22:57,237
I now declare Toowoomba Prep's
new Millennium Centre... open.

356
00:22:57,790 --> 00:22:59,861
[crowd applauding]

357
00:22:59,895 --> 00:23:01,518
[children exclaiming]

358
00:23:01,552 --> 00:23:03,520
[Peter] You can be
very proud of this school, Bob.

359
00:23:03,554 --> 00:23:04,935
[Bob] Thank you, Archbishop.

360
00:23:04,969 --> 00:23:06,695
Or should I say
Governor-General?

361
00:23:06,730 --> 00:23:08,766
[chuckles]
It doesn't make any difference.

362
00:23:08,801 --> 00:23:10,906
I'm still God's humble servant.

363
00:23:10,941 --> 00:23:13,322
Are you sure we can't tempt you
with some morning tea?

364
00:23:13,357 --> 00:23:14,945
[Peter] I have to push on,
I'm afraid.

365
00:23:14,979 --> 00:23:16,671
My time's not my own anymore.

366
00:23:16,705 --> 00:23:17,775
[boy] Harry!

367
00:23:17,810 --> 00:23:19,363
This case that's been filed

368
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,676
against the school
and the Church.

369
00:23:21,710 --> 00:23:23,091
We're dealing with that.

370
00:23:23,125 --> 00:23:25,058
Make sure you keep
my name out of it.

371
00:23:25,093 --> 00:23:28,061
The lawyers are very confident
we can settle cheaply.

372
00:23:28,614 --> 00:23:29,546
Very good.

373
00:23:30,719 --> 00:23:32,031
Well done again, Bob.

374
00:23:32,065 --> 00:23:33,066
-Thank you, Peter.
-[Peter] Hmm.

375
00:23:35,621 --> 00:23:36,794
[car engine starts]

376
00:23:40,142 --> 00:23:43,801
[dramatic music playing]

377
00:23:45,941 --> 00:23:48,461
[Lyndal] Remember has to be
exactly on the knees, Mum.

378
00:23:55,330 --> 00:23:56,262
[chuckles]

379
00:24:07,342 --> 00:24:10,932
[Sue] She was so bright.
We just wanted to give her...

380
00:24:10,966 --> 00:24:12,761
the best chance, you know, so...

381
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,421
we sent her up to Toowoomba.
That was the best school.

382
00:24:20,976 --> 00:24:22,978
She was 11 years old there.

383
00:24:23,013 --> 00:24:24,497
She was sports captain.
Very fast.

384
00:24:24,532 --> 00:24:25,671
Very fast in the pool.

385
00:24:28,018 --> 00:24:30,020
The headmaster, he, um,

386
00:24:30,054 --> 00:24:32,850
he gave us a tour of the school.
They... they all came out.

387
00:24:32,885 --> 00:24:36,475
It was-- They introduced us
to Mrs A, Mrs Aderman, um...

388
00:24:37,786 --> 00:24:41,687
Brewster, um,
and, um, Kevin Guy.

389
00:24:43,792 --> 00:24:45,311
He was all smiles. He just...

390
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:49,488
picked up Lyndal's bag
and we handed her over.

391
00:24:49,522 --> 00:24:51,697
They... they all seemed...

392
00:24:51,731 --> 00:24:53,526
Well, they all seemed
just so nice.

393
00:24:55,045 --> 00:24:56,322
When did things change?

394
00:25:00,050 --> 00:25:01,672
June holidays, she was just...

395
00:25:04,019 --> 00:25:05,642
she was just
a completely different person.

396
00:25:05,676 --> 00:25:06,884
She was aggressive.

397
00:25:06,919 --> 00:25:08,783
She spent a lot of time
in her room.

398
00:25:08,817 --> 00:25:11,026
She said she didn't want
to go back to school.

399
00:25:11,061 --> 00:25:14,305
And did she say why?

400
00:25:14,340 --> 00:25:16,307
Well, she said she...
she missed home.

401
00:25:17,999 --> 00:25:19,518
She had no friends. Um...

402
00:25:21,554 --> 00:25:22,797
But I made her stay...

403
00:25:23,798 --> 00:25:24,695
you see.

404
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:32,289
Now...

405
00:25:32,323 --> 00:25:34,429
I want her better, not worse.

406
00:25:35,361 --> 00:25:36,673
Can you promise me that?

407
00:25:38,951 --> 00:25:40,193
[Stephen clears throat]

408
00:25:40,228 --> 00:25:42,195
Tell me about her arrest, um...

409
00:25:42,886 --> 00:25:43,818
in New South Wales.

410
00:25:48,961 --> 00:25:52,171
When she was 15,
she stole Tony's car.

411
00:25:52,205 --> 00:25:54,380
She was out of control.
She was wild. So we...

412
00:25:55,726 --> 00:25:56,900
called the police.

413
00:25:58,384 --> 00:25:59,558
She wasn't coping.

414
00:26:01,801 --> 00:26:04,252
I... I would like to speak
to your husband as well.

415
00:26:08,152 --> 00:26:09,360
What's he doing out there?

416
00:26:11,777 --> 00:26:12,950
Waiting for you to leave.

417
00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:16,782
[crickets chirping]

418
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:33,557
[sighs]

419
00:26:36,905 --> 00:26:38,113
[Stephen] Kids asleep?

420
00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:39,080
Yeah.

421
00:26:47,157 --> 00:26:48,158
So you're doing it?

422
00:26:48,814 --> 00:26:49,746
Yes.

423
00:26:51,161 --> 00:26:52,818
The bank couriered
these over today,

424
00:26:52,852 --> 00:26:54,578
so we have to sign them.

425
00:27:02,586 --> 00:27:03,483
The house?

426
00:27:05,589 --> 00:27:06,486
Hmm.

427
00:27:07,453 --> 00:27:08,592
And the office.

428
00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:11,250
It's just temporary.

429
00:27:14,011 --> 00:27:17,083
-[children laughing]
-[projector clattering]

430
00:27:19,707 --> 00:27:21,536
[Kevin growls, barks]

431
00:27:24,781 --> 00:27:26,265
[barks]

432
00:27:26,299 --> 00:27:28,336
[all laugh]

433
00:27:30,614 --> 00:27:33,375
[Kevin imitates birdsong]

434
00:27:34,342 --> 00:27:35,274
Lyndal...

435
00:27:36,378 --> 00:27:37,656
come sit here next to me.

436
00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:40,451
[projector continues clattering]

437
00:27:51,083 --> 00:27:51,980
-[chuckles]
-[chuckles]

438
00:28:02,577 --> 00:28:04,337
[man 2] Did you think
he was abusing these girls?

439
00:28:04,372 --> 00:28:06,167
No.

440
00:28:06,201 --> 00:28:08,583
No, Kevin was extremely popular
with the girls.

441
00:28:08,617 --> 00:28:12,345
Unfortunately, some of them
have very powerful imaginations.

442
00:28:12,380 --> 00:28:14,969
[man 3] The plaintiff alleges
that you were given instances

443
00:28:15,003 --> 00:28:17,592
of Guy's behaviour
and did nothing.

444
00:28:17,626 --> 00:28:19,559
Well, I investigated this matter
at the time

445
00:28:19,594 --> 00:28:21,354
and there was simply no evidence

446
00:28:21,389 --> 00:28:23,529
that any abuse
had ever taken place. None.

447
00:28:24,426 --> 00:28:26,739
But he offered you
his resignation.

448
00:28:26,774 --> 00:28:28,499
[Robert] Well, that's
the integrity of the man.

449
00:28:28,534 --> 00:28:30,191
I wouldn't accept it.

450
00:28:31,054 --> 00:28:32,503
What about the suicide note?

451
00:28:33,781 --> 00:28:35,196
All those girls he loved.

452
00:28:37,129 --> 00:28:40,270
The only crime that Kevin Guy
was ever guilty of...

453
00:28:40,304 --> 00:28:41,720
was a poor choice of words.

454
00:28:42,928 --> 00:28:45,447
No, Kevin loved his job.
He was very good at it.

455
00:28:49,244 --> 00:28:51,074
If this goes to court,
Mr Brewster,

456
00:28:51,108 --> 00:28:53,870
will you be able to testify
to what you've told us today?

457
00:28:53,904 --> 00:28:54,767
Absolutely.

458
00:28:56,251 --> 00:28:57,183
Thanks, sir.

459
00:29:00,393 --> 00:29:01,947
[man 3]
I think it's all hogwash.

460
00:29:03,224 --> 00:29:05,744
But whatever the result,
the school will be in the press

461
00:29:05,778 --> 00:29:07,262
for all the wrong reasons.

462
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:10,610
The new Archbishop
and the Governor-General

463
00:29:10,645 --> 00:29:12,371
are breathing down my neck.

464
00:29:13,268 --> 00:29:15,132
Settle at the right price.

465
00:29:15,167 --> 00:29:17,031
It'll be cheaper anyway.

466
00:29:17,065 --> 00:29:19,723
I'm authorised
to settle for up to 40,000.

467
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,069
I'm sure they'll leap at it.

468
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,213
Bob.

469
00:29:27,248 --> 00:29:29,906
Nice suit. Did I pay for it?

470
00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:32,253
I don't think
you could afford it, Steve.

471
00:29:32,287 --> 00:29:35,290
[chuckles] How's our client?

472
00:29:35,325 --> 00:29:39,674
Well, she's a tough talker,
but fragile. Wounded.

473
00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:42,263
On those three points,
she's pretty fucking consistent.

474
00:29:42,297 --> 00:29:43,712
How much does she want?

475
00:29:43,747 --> 00:29:45,576
Oh, we haven't discussed money.

476
00:29:45,611 --> 00:29:47,440
So you haven't explained
the situation properly to her?

477
00:29:47,475 --> 00:29:48,890
[stuttered exhale]

478
00:29:48,925 --> 00:29:52,583
She's open to a settlement, yes.
But maybe...

479
00:29:52,618 --> 00:29:54,931
maybe what she needs
is to look them in the eye,

480
00:29:54,965 --> 00:29:56,449
tell her story in court...

481
00:29:57,174 --> 00:29:58,866
and be believed.

482
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:02,352
Both you and I know that
neither of you can afford that.

483
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:06,494
As it stands, no judge
will rule in our favour.

484
00:30:06,528 --> 00:30:09,497
That's the cold, hard truth.

485
00:30:09,531 --> 00:30:12,534
[Stephen]
Lyndal. Um, Bob Myers...

486
00:30:13,121 --> 00:30:14,743
our barrister.

487
00:30:14,778 --> 00:30:17,505
It's good to finally meet you,
Lyndal.

488
00:30:17,539 --> 00:30:20,473
I think that what's happened
to you is deplorable.

489
00:30:20,508 --> 00:30:23,649
And I'm proud to be able to act
on your behalf.

490
00:30:25,340 --> 00:30:26,272
Thanks.

491
00:30:30,069 --> 00:30:32,796
Well, our case will be simple
because there is no proof

492
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:35,350
anything untoward ever happened
to the plaintiff

493
00:30:35,385 --> 00:30:37,283
whilst at Toowoomba Prep.

494
00:30:37,318 --> 00:30:41,322
One might well view this claim
as the deluded crusade

495
00:30:41,356 --> 00:30:43,186
of an unstable woman who,
as a young girl,

496
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:45,050
made dangerous
and false allegations

497
00:30:45,084 --> 00:30:47,362
which arguably led to the death
of an innocent man.

498
00:30:47,397 --> 00:30:48,639
Fuck you.

499
00:30:48,674 --> 00:30:49,640
[Stephen] Lyndal.

500
00:30:51,366 --> 00:30:54,645
So, we would question
the reliability

501
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,061
of the testimony from
the plaintiff,

502
00:30:56,095 --> 00:30:58,304
but beyond that,
there is nothing.

503
00:30:58,339 --> 00:31:00,168
The plaintiff's case
is all about some easy money

504
00:31:00,203 --> 00:31:03,620
at the expense of the good name
of the school and Church...

505
00:31:03,654 --> 00:31:05,173
and we're simply not playing.

506
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,004
[Stephen] If... if, um...

507
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:11,870
Our case is pretty...
pretty simple too.

508
00:31:12,525 --> 00:31:14,320
It was a cover-up.

509
00:31:14,355 --> 00:31:16,391
Uh, there was a paedophile
at the school.

510
00:31:16,426 --> 00:31:17,841
The school knew...

511
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:18,911
and they did nothing.

512
00:31:28,438 --> 00:31:29,922
Against all our advice...

513
00:31:31,234 --> 00:31:34,823
Mr Yorke is prepared to offer
$40,000 to settle the matter.

514
00:31:34,858 --> 00:31:36,411
No admission of guilt.

515
00:31:36,446 --> 00:31:37,861
Full confidentiality.

516
00:31:39,311 --> 00:31:42,728
[Bob] We appreciate
your offer, Mr Bowers.

517
00:31:42,762 --> 00:31:46,421
We, too, have had time
to consider the situation...

518
00:31:46,456 --> 00:31:50,701
and I would advise
that our client...

519
00:31:50,736 --> 00:31:53,290
is prepared to accept
an offer of...

520
00:31:53,773 --> 00:31:55,292
$300,000.

521
00:31:55,327 --> 00:31:57,708
God,
it's not even in the ballpark.

522
00:31:58,157 --> 00:31:59,193
No, it's not.

523
00:32:00,573 --> 00:32:03,128
Because I don't want
your fucking money.

524
00:32:03,162 --> 00:32:05,613
And you all have to get that
through your fat heads.

525
00:32:13,276 --> 00:32:14,829
I guess we're done here.

526
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:16,900
[door closes]

527
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,626
[Stephen] What are you doing?

528
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:19,834
[Bob] Well... [sighs]

529
00:32:21,353 --> 00:32:24,735
I don't expect we'll get 300,
but they will up the offer.

530
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,220
But were you
not listening to her?

531
00:32:26,254 --> 00:32:27,221
Were you not in there?

532
00:32:27,255 --> 00:32:29,223
It's... it's not what she wants.

533
00:32:29,257 --> 00:32:30,534
She's not going to settle.

534
00:32:30,569 --> 00:32:32,260
She's not going to win.

535
00:32:32,295 --> 00:32:34,124
The suicide note is the key.

536
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:36,437
On it are the names
of another 18 little girls...

537
00:32:36,471 --> 00:32:38,335
-It doesn't matter how many...
-We're tracking them down.

538
00:32:38,370 --> 00:32:40,613
...little girls you find.

539
00:32:41,511 --> 00:32:43,444
Deaton versus Flew.

540
00:32:43,478 --> 00:32:46,585
Unless we can prove the school
knew what he was doing...

541
00:32:48,345 --> 00:32:49,519
they are not liable.

542
00:32:51,210 --> 00:32:53,523
[crickets chirping]

543
00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:56,146
[metal clattering]

544
00:32:56,181 --> 00:32:59,978
[soft music playing]

545
00:33:14,026 --> 00:33:16,960
[Sue] $40,000 is a deposit
on a flat, you know, Lyndal.

546
00:33:19,204 --> 00:33:20,170
That's good to know.

547
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:30,491
You won't find any.

548
00:33:30,525 --> 00:33:32,010
There's not a drop in the house.

549
00:34:06,872 --> 00:34:08,494
[Jodie] Deaton versus Flew.

550
00:34:08,529 --> 00:34:10,496
A barmaid who threw a glass
at a patron

551
00:34:10,531 --> 00:34:12,084
and blinded him in one eye.

552
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:14,362
But the hotel didn't employ her
to throw glasses,

553
00:34:14,397 --> 00:34:16,330
-so they weren't liable.
-Yes, I'm familiar with it.

554
00:34:16,364 --> 00:34:18,228
What's all this?

555
00:34:18,263 --> 00:34:20,748
Profiles and recent judgments
of our four potential judges,

556
00:34:20,782 --> 00:34:22,405
-if we go to trial.
-[sighs]

557
00:34:22,439 --> 00:34:24,407
-A gift from Bob.
-How kind of him.

558
00:34:25,925 --> 00:34:27,513
Monday night's Chinese.

559
00:34:28,135 --> 00:34:30,585
Yeah, I put it to a vote.

560
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:33,347
Chinese versus pizza.
The jury was unanimous.

561
00:34:36,384 --> 00:34:37,282
What?

562
00:34:41,217 --> 00:34:42,563
Where... where's my keys?

563
00:34:43,253 --> 00:34:44,875
[keys jingling]

564
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,532
Genius.

565
00:34:48,569 --> 00:34:51,710
[car horn honking]

566
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:56,266
[handbrake ratcheting]

567
00:34:58,889 --> 00:35:00,063
Bob, listen.

568
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:02,272
I would ask you in,
but I don't want to.

569
00:35:02,997 --> 00:35:03,929
You said it.

570
00:35:04,895 --> 00:35:07,415
Judges trade their hearts
for robes.

571
00:35:08,278 --> 00:35:10,073
Juries don't.

572
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:13,387
A civil case in this state
can be heard by a jury of four,

573
00:35:13,421 --> 00:35:17,425
if requested by either party.
We're requesting a jury.

574
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:19,738
They knew about him, Bob,
and with a jury,

575
00:35:19,772 --> 00:35:22,292
we can go after them
for exemplary damages.

576
00:35:22,327 --> 00:35:23,742
Look at the time.

577
00:35:23,776 --> 00:35:26,607
You could have mentioned
this at a decent hour...

578
00:35:26,641 --> 00:35:29,575
with only slightly
less dramatic effect, Steve.

579
00:35:29,610 --> 00:35:30,576
There's your game, Bob.

580
00:35:31,163 --> 00:35:32,130
It's what she wants.

581
00:35:33,683 --> 00:35:36,582
And how many times did you
visit him in the common room?

582
00:35:36,617 --> 00:35:39,654
[soft music playing]

583
00:35:40,655 --> 00:35:41,587
Thirty.

584
00:35:42,864 --> 00:35:44,935
-[Bob] About 30.
-Exactly 30.

585
00:35:44,970 --> 00:35:46,765
[school bell ringing]

586
00:35:46,799 --> 00:35:49,492
[Kevin laughs] All right.
Hey, cut it out.

587
00:35:49,526 --> 00:35:51,010
[Bob] How can you be certain?

588
00:35:51,045 --> 00:35:53,185
[Lyndal] Because I marked
the days in my homework diary.

589
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:54,600
[Kevin]
Bell's gone, off to class.

590
00:35:54,635 --> 00:35:56,602
-[girls] Bye, Mr Guy!
-[Kevin] Lyndal.

591
00:35:56,637 --> 00:35:58,328
-[indistinct chatter]
-Over here, please.

592
00:35:59,226 --> 00:36:00,261
Off you go, Sophie.

593
00:36:05,542 --> 00:36:07,820
Now, you put that in the bin
once you've read it.

594
00:36:12,756 --> 00:36:15,173
[Bob]
And what did the first note say?

595
00:36:17,244 --> 00:36:19,936
[Lyndal] "I need to see you in
the Year 7 common room

596
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:21,731
tonight... at 10:00 pm".

597
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:27,115
[Bob] And do you still have it?

598
00:36:27,150 --> 00:36:28,324
[scoffs]

599
00:36:28,358 --> 00:36:29,670
Nah, I burnt it.

600
00:36:29,704 --> 00:36:31,189
And you never kept one note?

601
00:36:31,223 --> 00:36:33,639
No, he told me to bin them,
so I fucking did.

602
00:36:33,674 --> 00:36:35,054
I think we should have a break.

603
00:36:35,089 --> 00:36:36,090
-[clears throat]
-Lyndal.

604
00:36:38,506 --> 00:36:42,786
The other barrister will try
to make you lose your temper,

605
00:36:42,821 --> 00:36:44,892
as you just did,

606
00:36:44,926 --> 00:36:48,067
so he can show the jury,
the surly,

607
00:36:48,102 --> 00:36:51,312
rebellious, angry side of you.

608
00:36:51,347 --> 00:36:52,693
The side they won't like.

609
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:56,593
Well, angry is the only thing
keeping me here.

610
00:36:56,628 --> 00:36:58,906
Hey, Lyndal, why don't we go
grab some fresh air?

611
00:36:58,940 --> 00:37:00,735
Yes, good idea.

612
00:37:07,121 --> 00:37:09,779
[footsteps receding]

613
00:37:11,953 --> 00:37:15,405
She is too volatile
to go to court, Steve.

614
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,201
She's in therapy,
for Christ's sake, Bob. Just...

615
00:37:18,891 --> 00:37:19,927
back off.

616
00:37:19,961 --> 00:37:23,275
[birds chirping]

617
00:37:34,597 --> 00:37:37,531
Apart from the night
that Lyndal went missing,

618
00:37:37,565 --> 00:37:41,880
were you ever concerned
about Kevin Guy's behaviour?

619
00:37:41,914 --> 00:37:44,400
I did think he was allowing
the girls in the boarding house

620
00:37:44,434 --> 00:37:46,643
to be overly familiar with him.
Yeah.

621
00:37:46,678 --> 00:37:48,404
I mentioned this to Brewster.

622
00:37:48,438 --> 00:37:49,991
"O... overly familiar"?

623
00:37:52,994 --> 00:37:54,996
He was very popular.

624
00:37:55,031 --> 00:37:57,758
The girls would just walk up
and plonk themselves on his lap

625
00:37:57,792 --> 00:37:58,966
or hang around his neck.

626
00:38:01,175 --> 00:38:03,350
Could it have been just...
just innocent fun?

627
00:38:03,384 --> 00:38:05,559
That's the problem.
It could have been at the time.

628
00:38:05,593 --> 00:38:07,768
I never saw anything
more alarming.

629
00:38:10,529 --> 00:38:13,429
What about your colleagues?
Did they see anything?

630
00:38:20,746 --> 00:38:22,334
Mrs Aderman.

631
00:38:22,369 --> 00:38:24,060
Lorraine Dobson,
the school nurse,

632
00:38:24,094 --> 00:38:25,337
was bothered by something.

633
00:38:26,683 --> 00:38:27,512
Bothered by what?

634
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:29,790
You'd have to ask her.

635
00:38:33,311 --> 00:38:34,691
[phone ringing]

636
00:38:36,521 --> 00:38:37,660
This is Jodie.

637
00:38:37,694 --> 00:38:39,247
[Stephen]
Jodie, got a favour to ask.

638
00:38:39,282 --> 00:38:40,628
The previous school nurse.

639
00:38:40,663 --> 00:38:42,630
Can you track her down?
Name's Lorraine Dobson.

640
00:38:42,665 --> 00:38:44,080
[Jodie] I'll see
what I can find out.

641
00:38:44,114 --> 00:38:45,323
-Good.
-[Jodie] And Karen?

642
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,876
Yeah, I'm here now.

643
00:38:48,498 --> 00:38:49,430
[phone clatters]

644
00:38:50,224 --> 00:38:51,674
[doorbell ringing]

645
00:39:01,062 --> 00:39:02,719
Hi, uh, Karen?

646
00:39:02,754 --> 00:39:05,135
-Yeah.
-Uh, my name's Steve Roche.

647
00:39:05,170 --> 00:39:06,999
I'm a...
I'm a lawyer representing

648
00:39:07,034 --> 00:39:10,209
a classmate of yours
from Toowoomba Prep.

649
00:39:10,244 --> 00:39:11,901
-I was wondering if, uh...
-Will you...

650
00:39:13,247 --> 00:39:15,214
-wait there just a sec?
-[Stephen] Yeah, certainly.

651
00:39:15,974 --> 00:39:18,045
[footsteps receding]

652
00:39:19,874 --> 00:39:23,982
[footsteps approaching]

653
00:39:27,019 --> 00:39:28,504
She's got nothing to say to you.

654
00:39:28,538 --> 00:39:30,229
I don't know how
you tracked us down,

655
00:39:30,264 --> 00:39:32,231
-but don't come back.
-Look, if I could just talk

656
00:39:32,266 --> 00:39:34,268
to you for a moment.
I'm sure that...

657
00:39:34,302 --> 00:39:36,166
[man 4] You should be ashamed
of yourself.

658
00:39:36,201 --> 00:39:38,721
Dragging all this stuff
back up again.

659
00:39:38,755 --> 00:39:40,688
Look, just get...
get off my property.

660
00:39:41,586 --> 00:39:45,486
[footsteps receding]

661
00:39:45,521 --> 00:39:47,039
[woman on radio]
While an unseasonal downpour

662
00:39:47,074 --> 00:39:48,731
brightened
the spirits of graziers

663
00:39:48,765 --> 00:39:51,354
in Queensland's Channel Country
earlier this week,

664
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:54,184
the majority of rainfall
across western Queensland

665
00:39:54,219 --> 00:39:56,221
this year
has been patchy at best.

666
00:39:57,084 --> 00:40:01,260
[indistinct chatter over radio]

667
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:06,334
There are a lot of good people
at that school.

668
00:40:06,369 --> 00:40:08,233
I hardly think it's fair
to blacken their names

669
00:40:08,267 --> 00:40:10,753
-because of a few bad apples.
-A few?

670
00:40:10,787 --> 00:40:12,962
I would let you come in,
but I'm sorry.

671
00:40:12,996 --> 00:40:15,033
-I've got to go out.
-[Stephen] No, no, I understand.

672
00:40:15,067 --> 00:40:17,518
It's just that Mrs Aderman,
um...

673
00:40:17,553 --> 00:40:19,900
she... she said something
to me that...

674
00:40:19,934 --> 00:40:22,903
she remembered you
being concerned with

675
00:40:22,937 --> 00:40:25,733
something that happened in 1990.

676
00:40:26,596 --> 00:40:27,873
I don't remember.

677
00:40:27,908 --> 00:40:29,461
I'm sorry, Mr Roche.
I can't help you.

678
00:40:29,496 --> 00:40:31,774
Uh, do you remember
a transitional student

679
00:40:31,808 --> 00:40:32,809
named Lyndal?

680
00:40:33,948 --> 00:40:34,811
Is she your client?

681
00:40:36,606 --> 00:40:37,435
Yeah.

682
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:39,298
She was sweet.

683
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:41,093
Well, I, uh...

684
00:40:42,267 --> 00:40:44,234
think you'd
hardly recognize her now,

685
00:40:44,269 --> 00:40:45,477
given all she's been through.

686
00:40:47,341 --> 00:40:49,308
I'm really very sorry,
Mr Roche. I don't recall...

687
00:40:49,343 --> 00:40:51,932
But if there is anything
that you do remember,

688
00:40:51,966 --> 00:40:53,451
anything out of the ordinary...

689
00:40:54,279 --> 00:40:55,349
please give us a call.

690
00:40:55,936 --> 00:40:57,006
You've got my card.

691
00:40:58,766 --> 00:41:00,354
The trial starts in three days.

692
00:41:03,771 --> 00:41:05,911
[Bernard]
The suicide note's ambiguous.

693
00:41:05,946 --> 00:41:08,569
There is no admission
that he acted inappropriately.

694
00:41:09,674 --> 00:41:12,987
So, then, there's just
the testimony of the girl.

695
00:41:13,022 --> 00:41:15,852
The girl was a model student
before the abuse.

696
00:41:15,887 --> 00:41:18,441
[scoffs] We have drug abuse.

697
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:22,134
A string of inappropriate
de facto relationships from 15.

698
00:41:22,169 --> 00:41:25,103
Her own parents even filed
a complaint against her.

699
00:41:25,137 --> 00:41:26,863
We need to protect the school.

700
00:41:26,898 --> 00:41:29,487
Well, undermining her
credibility is all part of that.

701
00:41:29,521 --> 00:41:31,281
You've plenty for you
to work with.

702
00:41:31,316 --> 00:41:34,595
If I were you, I would keep
the channels of negotiation

703
00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:36,355
open with Bob Myers.

704
00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:38,185
Sorry, am I missing something?

705
00:41:38,219 --> 00:41:40,187
Uh, the jury.
We have a jury here.

706
00:41:40,221 --> 00:41:42,361
Not just a judge,
but regular people.

707
00:41:42,396 --> 00:41:46,193
This so-called ambiguous
suicide note is dynamite.

708
00:41:46,227 --> 00:41:48,022
If the jury see this,

709
00:41:48,057 --> 00:41:49,541
and then I go after
the plaintiff,

710
00:41:49,576 --> 00:41:51,957
it'll be like throwing petrol
on flames.

711
00:41:51,992 --> 00:41:54,132
-She's right.
-I don't agree.

712
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:55,409
At your peril.

713
00:41:56,306 --> 00:41:57,376
Oh, Christ.

714
00:41:59,275 --> 00:42:01,519
Ron, what's the real figure
the insurance company will cop?

715
00:42:01,553 --> 00:42:03,210
[Jean] And don't forget
they're going

716
00:42:03,244 --> 00:42:05,902
for exemplary damages,
so it's hot coffee territory.

717
00:42:05,937 --> 00:42:07,973
Someone explain that
to me again.

718
00:42:08,008 --> 00:42:11,183
Um, beyond compensation
for suffering,

719
00:42:11,218 --> 00:42:14,359
the jury can impose
additional amounts...

720
00:42:15,049 --> 00:42:17,569
for wilful misconduct.

721
00:42:17,604 --> 00:42:19,537
-How much?
-Could be double.

722
00:42:20,848 --> 00:42:22,332
And your insurance
doesn't cover it.

723
00:42:23,506 --> 00:42:24,438
Shit.

724
00:42:26,164 --> 00:42:27,337
Let's up the offer.

725
00:42:27,752 --> 00:42:28,580
$80,000?

726
00:42:29,374 --> 00:42:31,238
Make it a 100.

727
00:42:31,272 --> 00:42:34,413
-[Jean] I'll take it to Myers.
-[crockery clattering]

728
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,593
[sombre music playing]

729
00:42:41,628 --> 00:42:43,595
[Kevin] Now, if we both
take our clothes off...

730
00:42:43,630 --> 00:42:44,872
that'll be fair.

731
00:42:46,356 --> 00:42:47,841
But don't tell anyone.

732
00:42:47,875 --> 00:42:49,221
It's our little secret, okay?

733
00:42:49,808 --> 00:42:50,706
You know...

734
00:42:51,534 --> 00:42:53,225
I dream about you every night.

735
00:42:54,641 --> 00:42:57,575
This morning,
I woke up hugging a pillow...

736
00:42:58,645 --> 00:42:59,853
thinking about you.

737
00:43:01,268 --> 00:43:04,754
[sombre music continues playing]

738
00:43:06,066 --> 00:43:06,963
[sniffles]

739
00:43:28,536 --> 00:43:30,780
[Bob] All right, Jean.
I'll take it to them.

740
00:43:30,815 --> 00:43:32,264
But without an admission,

741
00:43:32,299 --> 00:43:34,922
I don't think it's going to fly
with this plaintiff.

742
00:43:34,957 --> 00:43:37,753
Oh, but you know
it's a good offer.

743
00:43:37,787 --> 00:43:40,721
The jury could just as easily
backfire on you.

744
00:43:40,756 --> 00:43:42,620
These are Toowoomba people.

745
00:43:42,654 --> 00:43:45,243
Your client...[chuckles]
...she's no angel.

746
00:43:45,277 --> 00:43:47,176
[Bob] Thanks to your client.

747
00:43:47,210 --> 00:43:50,110
But the jury will see her
as representative

748
00:43:50,144 --> 00:43:52,422
of all those little girls

749
00:43:52,457 --> 00:43:55,840
in Kevin Guy's
confessional suicide note.

750
00:43:55,874 --> 00:43:58,014
No one wants
this to go to trial, Bob.

751
00:43:58,049 --> 00:44:01,121
Mr Staniforth, you're...
you're no longer serving

752
00:44:01,155 --> 00:44:02,329
on the school council.

753
00:44:04,849 --> 00:44:08,335
We are simply trying
to make them accountable

754
00:44:08,369 --> 00:44:10,371
for the pain
they have caused the victim.

755
00:44:13,685 --> 00:44:15,860
Bob just rang.
He needs to speak to you.

756
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:17,689
[Stephen] Another offer?

757
00:44:19,139 --> 00:44:21,348
-You think we should take it?
-Absolutely.

758
00:44:23,419 --> 00:44:25,386
It's more than double
what they last offered.

759
00:44:26,111 --> 00:44:27,112
Steve...

760
00:44:27,906 --> 00:44:29,805
the jury was a smart idea.

761
00:44:30,909 --> 00:44:31,876
And it worked.

762
00:44:33,153 --> 00:44:36,535
[sighs] She needs to see
justice done.

763
00:44:36,570 --> 00:44:37,467
She does?

764
00:44:37,985 --> 00:44:39,193
Or you do?

765
00:44:39,228 --> 00:44:40,850
Oh, Bob.

766
00:44:40,885 --> 00:44:42,714
[Bob] Oh, come on, mate.

767
00:44:42,749 --> 00:44:46,960
The Church will stop at nothing
to protect their reputation.

768
00:44:46,994 --> 00:44:48,686
They could ruin you too.

769
00:44:52,517 --> 00:44:54,415
Then we start
with the suicide note.

770
00:44:54,450 --> 00:44:56,555
[stutters] Before we even put
Lyndal up there,

771
00:44:56,590 --> 00:44:58,040
we show the jury

772
00:44:58,074 --> 00:45:00,352
what a serial predator
Kevin Guy was.

773
00:45:00,387 --> 00:45:02,216
And those bastards knew.

774
00:45:03,528 --> 00:45:05,495
Where's the justice...

775
00:45:06,220 --> 00:45:07,912
if she loses, Steve?

776
00:45:09,603 --> 00:45:12,502
$100,000, mate.

777
00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:17,818
[sighs]

778
00:45:23,548 --> 00:45:25,653
I'll take it to her,
but we both know

779
00:45:25,688 --> 00:45:27,207
what she's going to say.

780
00:45:27,241 --> 00:45:29,312
Absolutely not.

781
00:45:29,347 --> 00:45:32,177
Myers turned down $100,000.

782
00:45:32,212 --> 00:45:33,869
If they can get
the jury on side,

783
00:45:33,903 --> 00:45:36,526
you are looking at double that
with exemplary damages.

784
00:45:36,561 --> 00:45:38,908
We need trial strategy.

785
00:45:38,943 --> 00:45:40,738
And this is the way
that we can take

786
00:45:40,772 --> 00:45:43,050
their biggest piece of evidence
off the table.

787
00:45:44,258 --> 00:45:46,088
-It's pretty ballsy.
-But it's smart.

788
00:45:46,916 --> 00:45:48,849
It's really smart.

789
00:45:48,884 --> 00:45:50,540
Bernie, I think
we should go for it.

790
00:45:51,887 --> 00:45:52,750
Oh, shit.

791
00:45:54,234 --> 00:45:56,581
I'm going to have to run it
by the Archbishop.

792
00:45:56,615 --> 00:45:58,756
[car engine revving]

793
00:46:02,242 --> 00:46:08,041
[soft music playing]

794
00:46:18,810 --> 00:46:20,260
[sheep bleat]

795
00:46:47,011 --> 00:46:49,599
-[car approaching]
-[birds chirping]

796
00:47:04,166 --> 00:47:06,824
[Stephen] Hello.
Uh, Tony, Steve Roche.

797
00:47:07,859 --> 00:47:09,688
-Steve.
-[Stephen] How was the trip?

798
00:47:13,485 --> 00:47:15,280
Well, it's good
to have you here. Um.

799
00:47:15,315 --> 00:47:17,938
Well, we, uh, we have
two rooms, one for you and Sue.

800
00:47:17,973 --> 00:47:20,492
That's 17, I believe,
and, uh, and one for Lyndal.

801
00:47:20,527 --> 00:47:22,736
But, uh,
you guys get settled in.

802
00:47:22,770 --> 00:47:24,703
Lyndal and I have to go
through quite a bit

803
00:47:24,738 --> 00:47:26,050
before court in the morning.

804
00:47:32,884 --> 00:47:34,955
There may be some reporters

805
00:47:34,990 --> 00:47:36,405
in the morning.

806
00:47:36,439 --> 00:47:38,717
It's probably best
you don't talk to them.

807
00:47:40,547 --> 00:47:42,514
But I want it in the papers.

808
00:47:42,549 --> 00:47:45,552
Yes, but we... we can't control
the context.

809
00:47:46,449 --> 00:47:48,624
There'll be plenty of time...

810
00:47:48,658 --> 00:47:50,212
after we win.

811
00:47:58,392 --> 00:47:59,877
[Lyndal]
What are you worried about?

812
00:48:05,192 --> 00:48:06,055
You.

813
00:48:09,231 --> 00:48:10,715
I'm not afraid of them.
[chuckles]

814
00:48:12,855 --> 00:48:13,891
I know the truth.

815
00:48:15,962 --> 00:48:17,515
They should be afraid of me.

816
00:48:21,864 --> 00:48:23,901
Come on. I'll walk you back.
[sighs]

817
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:26,731
[Lyndal]
I think I'll stay for a bit.

818
00:48:27,939 --> 00:48:30,217
Someone booked me
a non-smoking room.

819
00:48:34,221 --> 00:48:35,119
I'm fine.

820
00:48:35,636 --> 00:48:36,534
Go.

821
00:48:37,569 --> 00:48:39,295
Just, um...

822
00:48:39,330 --> 00:48:41,884
I'll meet you out the front
of the court in the morning.

823
00:48:43,058 --> 00:48:45,198
We'll, uh, we'll go in together.

824
00:48:48,166 --> 00:48:49,064
Don't be late.

825
00:48:57,486 --> 00:49:01,628
[background music playing]

826
00:49:02,353 --> 00:49:05,045
[pokies jingling]

827
00:49:23,029 --> 00:49:23,961
One more.

828
00:49:27,343 --> 00:49:30,864
[birds chirping]

829
00:49:47,881 --> 00:49:48,951
What the fuck is this?

830
00:49:50,297 --> 00:49:53,473
-This could be a blessing.
-You had no right.

831
00:49:53,507 --> 00:49:55,371
Oh, don't get your knickers
in a knot, Steve.

832
00:49:55,406 --> 00:49:57,028
No, we... we can't afford this.

833
00:49:57,063 --> 00:49:59,789
What if they apply to adjourn
or say the jury's compromised?

834
00:50:01,860 --> 00:50:04,139
Maybe our jury
just got a little bigger.

835
00:50:05,174 --> 00:50:07,280
[Peter]
How is this in the newspaper?

836
00:50:07,314 --> 00:50:10,938
Fix it as soon as possible.
We need to clear this up.

837
00:50:10,973 --> 00:50:12,319
[Bernard] Yes, Your Excellency.

838
00:50:13,907 --> 00:50:14,977
That was Hollingworth.

839
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,221
Your plan better bloody work.

840
00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:22,329
[dramatic music playing]

841
00:50:34,721 --> 00:50:35,756
Sorry we're late.

842
00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:46,940
-[camera shutter clicking]
-[indistinct chatter]

843
00:50:48,528 --> 00:50:50,323
Mr Myers.

844
00:50:50,357 --> 00:50:52,256
-Mr Roche. Bob.
-We won't be commenting

845
00:50:52,290 --> 00:50:53,740
until after the trial.

846
00:50:56,225 --> 00:50:57,226
Okay, uh.

847
00:50:58,538 --> 00:51:01,403
Now, Sue, you can't come in
until we call you as a witness,

848
00:51:01,437 --> 00:51:02,783
but Tony, feel free.

849
00:51:04,302 --> 00:51:05,200
No, I...

850
00:51:06,477 --> 00:51:08,168
-I'll stay with Sue.
-All right.

851
00:51:09,790 --> 00:51:11,516
-You ready?
-[Lyndal] Mm-hmm.

852
00:51:33,435 --> 00:51:34,298
[Stephen clears throat]

853
00:51:36,058 --> 00:51:37,266
[clears throat]

854
00:51:37,301 --> 00:51:38,267
[clerk 2] All rise.

855
00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:50,969
[Margaret] Members of the jury,

856
00:51:51,004 --> 00:51:53,075
Mr Myers,
representing the plaintiff,

857
00:51:53,110 --> 00:51:55,112
will now give you
an opening address.

858
00:51:55,146 --> 00:51:57,252
Uh, could I make
a formal admission

859
00:51:57,286 --> 00:51:59,323
before Your Honour
proceeds further?

860
00:51:59,357 --> 00:52:01,980
Uh, one of the allegations,
ladies and gentlemen,

861
00:52:02,015 --> 00:52:06,123
made by the plaintiff
is of the sexual abuse itself.

862
00:52:06,157 --> 00:52:08,677
In the middle part
of the year 1990,

863
00:52:08,711 --> 00:52:11,438
the plaintiff alleges that
she was repeatedly subjected

864
00:52:11,473 --> 00:52:13,785
to assaults of a sexual nature

865
00:52:13,820 --> 00:52:17,582
perpetrated upon her
by Kevin George Guy.

866
00:52:17,617 --> 00:52:21,034
It is admitted by the defendant
that this did occur.

867
00:52:25,487 --> 00:52:26,867
[Margaret] Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

868
00:52:26,902 --> 00:52:28,869
have a short break
while I speak to counsel.

869
00:52:30,457 --> 00:52:33,115
[crowd whispering indistinctly]

870
00:52:34,116 --> 00:52:35,704
What's happening?

871
00:52:35,738 --> 00:52:38,603
Well, they just admitted
Kevin Guy abused you.

872
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:43,815
-But why now? What's happening?
-We just have to listen.

873
00:52:43,850 --> 00:52:46,093
-[Margaret] Ms Dalton.
-Uh, I have two matters

874
00:52:46,128 --> 00:52:47,612
I'd like to raise, Your Honour.

875
00:52:47,647 --> 00:52:49,338
Firstly, that there was
an article

876
00:52:49,373 --> 00:52:52,203
in the Courier-Mail today
about the case.

877
00:52:52,238 --> 00:52:55,344
-It could prejudice the jury.
-Your Honour...

878
00:52:55,379 --> 00:52:57,553
this is a case that has
the attention of the public.

879
00:52:57,588 --> 00:52:59,659
We cannot expect the media
to ignore it.

880
00:52:59,693 --> 00:53:01,902
[Jean] But the article refers
to the suicide note

881
00:53:01,937 --> 00:53:03,870
which it said
detailed Mr Guy's abuse

882
00:53:03,904 --> 00:53:05,872
of several other girls
in the school.

883
00:53:05,906 --> 00:53:08,461
This is not an accurate read
of the note in any way.

884
00:53:08,495 --> 00:53:10,290
My learned friend
knows full well

885
00:53:10,325 --> 00:53:12,465
we don't control
the media, Your Honour.

886
00:53:12,499 --> 00:53:14,812
[Jean] In any case,
the jury has been poisoned.

887
00:53:14,846 --> 00:53:17,263
[Bob] This is a jury trial,
Your Honour.

888
00:53:17,297 --> 00:53:20,231
The defence should not be
permitted to dictate terms.

889
00:53:20,266 --> 00:53:22,026
Secondly, now that
we have admitted the abuse,

890
00:53:22,060 --> 00:53:23,821
the suicide note
is no longer probative.

891
00:53:23,855 --> 00:53:26,582
It's unrelated
to what the school knew or

892
00:53:26,617 --> 00:53:28,860
didn't know and it should be
ruled as inadmissible.

893
00:53:28,895 --> 00:53:32,416
[Bob] Your Honour,
the suicide note is evidence

894
00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:36,420
that the school should have been
aware of what was going on.

895
00:53:36,454 --> 00:53:38,698
The jury must be allowed
to see it

896
00:53:38,732 --> 00:53:40,217
and to make
their own determination.

897
00:53:40,251 --> 00:53:42,219
[Margaret] Are you seeking
an adjournment of the trial?

898
00:53:42,253 --> 00:53:45,014
Come back with a fresh jury when
the publicity has died down?

899
00:53:45,049 --> 00:53:47,362
-[stenographers keys clacking]
-No, Your Honour.

900
00:53:50,019 --> 00:53:51,676
Regarding the second matter,
I agree.

901
00:53:51,711 --> 00:53:53,402
The suicide note
is no longer probative

902
00:53:53,437 --> 00:53:54,679
and is therefore inadmissible.

903
00:53:54,714 --> 00:53:56,957
The jury will not be able
to see the note.

904
00:53:56,992 --> 00:53:59,339
-[Bob] Your Honour--
-I've ruled, Mr Myers.

905
00:53:59,374 --> 00:54:01,445
In that case, I need some time

906
00:54:01,479 --> 00:54:04,068
to amend
our statement of claim.

907
00:54:04,102 --> 00:54:05,794
[Margaret]
We'll adjourn for the day.

908
00:54:05,828 --> 00:54:07,865
I'll see you back here
tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.

909
00:54:10,730 --> 00:54:11,800
Outstanding start.

910
00:54:12,594 --> 00:54:13,457
We're leaving.

911
00:54:14,527 --> 00:54:15,424
Lyndal.

912
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:24,122
[Bob] It's just going to be
a lot tougher on her now.

913
00:54:24,157 --> 00:54:26,263
I can't afford
an adjournment, Bob.

914
00:54:27,747 --> 00:54:29,127
Better than losing.

915
00:54:29,162 --> 00:54:31,923
Well, I'm losing everything
either way.

916
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:38,758
It would have been a lot easier
with the suicide note.

917
00:54:38,792 --> 00:54:41,450
We just need more ammunition.

918
00:54:41,485 --> 00:54:43,728
[Bob] Anything new turn up
in discovery?

919
00:54:43,763 --> 00:54:45,074
The school council minutes,

920
00:54:45,109 --> 00:54:47,007
but there's...
there's nothing there.

921
00:54:47,801 --> 00:54:49,769
The whole incident...

922
00:54:49,803 --> 00:54:52,116
-hardly rated a mention.
-[Bob] Really?

923
00:54:52,150 --> 00:54:54,291
What about the
school councillors themselves?

924
00:54:54,325 --> 00:54:55,740
Well, there were five of them.

925
00:54:55,775 --> 00:54:57,949
Three of them are still serving.
They won't talk to us.

926
00:54:57,984 --> 00:54:59,951
One of them is dead.
He won't talk to us.

927
00:54:59,986 --> 00:55:02,264
-And the last one, um...
-Staniforth.

928
00:55:02,299 --> 00:55:03,990
...is Staniforth.

929
00:55:04,024 --> 00:55:05,509
He's not giving us
anything either.

930
00:55:08,201 --> 00:55:12,101
Lyndal's diagnosis is
post-traumatic stress disorder.

931
00:55:12,136 --> 00:55:15,104
She suffers very badly
from low self-esteem.

932
00:55:15,139 --> 00:55:16,934
She self-harms.

933
00:55:16,968 --> 00:55:18,349
She also hallucinates.

934
00:55:19,385 --> 00:55:22,422
She relives
the abuse as flashbacks,

935
00:55:22,457 --> 00:55:24,597
as though it were real.

936
00:55:24,631 --> 00:55:29,671
And this impacts on her ability
to learn and work?

937
00:55:29,705 --> 00:55:30,706
Yes.

938
00:55:31,673 --> 00:55:33,606
She self-medicates,

939
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,504
uses drugs and alcohol.

940
00:55:35,539 --> 00:55:37,368
She regularly wipes herself out.

941
00:55:37,403 --> 00:55:39,543
-[stenographers keys clacking]
-[Bob] Is there a time

942
00:55:39,577 --> 00:55:43,547
of critical importance
in relation to disclosure...

943
00:55:43,581 --> 00:55:47,033
to enable children to move on
from sexual abuse?

944
00:55:47,067 --> 00:55:49,415
Yes, immediately.

945
00:55:49,449 --> 00:55:53,004
But there was no support
whatsoever from Toowoomba Prep.

946
00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:58,596
Had there been an apology
or some nurturing concern,

947
00:55:58,631 --> 00:56:02,186
that would have let Lyndal know
that she'd done nothing wrong.

948
00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:04,257
But in the absence of anything
from the school,

949
00:56:04,291 --> 00:56:06,673
she was left to believe
what Kevin Guy told her,

950
00:56:06,708 --> 00:56:09,089
that it was her who was in error

951
00:56:09,124 --> 00:56:10,850
and that nobody
would believe her.

952
00:56:12,161 --> 00:56:13,715
[Bob] Did you do anything
to achieve

953
00:56:13,749 --> 00:56:18,029
some acknowledgement or support
from the school?

954
00:56:18,064 --> 00:56:21,481
Yes. I called the principal,
Mr Brewster.

955
00:56:21,516 --> 00:56:23,552
I expressed my concern
about Lyndal,

956
00:56:23,587 --> 00:56:25,934
that I felt
she was at great risk.

957
00:56:25,968 --> 00:56:28,005
There was no acknowledgement...

958
00:56:28,039 --> 00:56:29,869
that any abuse
had taken place and

959
00:56:29,903 --> 00:56:32,354
he seemed
more concerned about...

960
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:36,289
his own sorrow
over Mr Kevin Guy's suicide.

961
00:56:36,323 --> 00:56:40,949
[Bob] Let's move on to
Archbishop Peter Hollingworth.

962
00:56:40,983 --> 00:56:44,401
You phoned him
on the 12th January?

963
00:56:44,435 --> 00:56:47,265
I object, Your Honour.
The phone call is inadmissible.

964
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:48,922
It is not relevant to the case.

965
00:56:48,957 --> 00:56:52,063
It goes to exemplary damages,
Your Honour.

966
00:56:52,098 --> 00:56:53,720
He was head of the diocese.

967
00:56:53,755 --> 00:56:56,067
[Jean] Mrs Connolly
was acting outside the bounds

968
00:56:56,102 --> 00:56:57,379
of professional psychologists

969
00:56:57,414 --> 00:57:00,037
when she contacted
the Archbishop.

970
00:57:00,071 --> 00:57:01,970
Your Honour shouldn't be ruling
on this at all.

971
00:57:02,004 --> 00:57:04,938
I'll decide what to rule on,
Ms Dalton, and I will allow

972
00:57:04,973 --> 00:57:06,250
the witness to answer.

973
00:57:09,943 --> 00:57:12,463
Why did you phone
the Archbishop?

974
00:57:12,498 --> 00:57:16,122
I wanted the Archbishop
to call Lyndal's parents.

975
00:57:16,156 --> 00:57:17,779
The parents
were falling to pieces.

976
00:57:17,813 --> 00:57:21,058
They needed help,
some nurture, a word.

977
00:57:21,092 --> 00:57:22,611
Did you say this to him?

978
00:57:22,646 --> 00:57:23,957
Yes.

979
00:57:23,992 --> 00:57:25,959
[Bob] And what...

980
00:57:25,994 --> 00:57:30,585
and be careful,
did he say to you...

981
00:57:30,619 --> 00:57:32,241
as closely as you can recall?

982
00:57:34,830 --> 00:57:37,005
He said he was very tired

983
00:57:37,039 --> 00:57:38,938
and that he needed a holiday

984
00:57:38,972 --> 00:57:40,767
and that there was
nothing he could do.

985
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:47,843
[Bob] One more question
about Lyndal.

986
00:57:47,878 --> 00:57:49,500
By taking this action...

987
00:57:50,846 --> 00:57:52,814
what difference
will it make to her life?

988
00:57:54,022 --> 00:57:54,919
Well...

989
00:57:55,472 --> 00:57:56,852
she won't be dead.

990
00:57:56,887 --> 00:57:58,475
[Jean] Objection, Your Honour.

991
00:57:58,509 --> 00:58:00,407
Ms Connolly has been presented
to the court

992
00:58:00,442 --> 00:58:01,857
as an expert witness.

993
00:58:01,892 --> 00:58:03,825
Her answers are speculative
and emotional.

994
00:58:03,859 --> 00:58:07,242
Yes. Ms Connolly,
please try to be more clinical

995
00:58:07,276 --> 00:58:08,588
with your testimony.

996
00:58:09,969 --> 00:58:11,764
[Bob] No further questions,
Your Honour.

997
00:58:12,385 --> 00:58:13,351
[Margaret] Ms Dalton.

998
00:58:15,837 --> 00:58:19,185
Mrs Connolly, you are
very emotionally involved

999
00:58:19,219 --> 00:58:20,773
in this case, aren't you?

1000
00:58:22,464 --> 00:58:24,535
Well, I have a warm

1001
00:58:24,570 --> 00:58:27,158
and supportive relationship
with Lyndal.

1002
00:58:27,987 --> 00:58:30,714
Are you appearing as an expert

1003
00:58:30,748 --> 00:58:33,544
or as an advocate for Lyndal
in these proceedings?

1004
00:58:34,476 --> 00:58:35,960
Well, I am an expert.

1005
00:58:37,375 --> 00:58:40,206
But I'm also an expert
in what happened to Lyndal.

1006
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:41,794
Lyndal and her parents received

1007
00:58:41,828 --> 00:58:44,659
absolutely no support
from Toowoomba Prep.

1008
00:58:44,693 --> 00:58:48,110
And I believe that that had
a very negative impact

1009
00:58:48,145 --> 00:58:49,871
on the outcome for Lyndal.

1010
00:58:49,905 --> 00:58:52,252
You see, you've just chosen
to make that speech

1011
00:58:52,287 --> 00:58:55,393
without being asked a question.
So I put it to you

1012
00:58:55,428 --> 00:58:57,257
that you're losing your role
as therapist

1013
00:58:57,292 --> 00:58:59,536
or anyone
with independent credentials

1014
00:58:59,570 --> 00:59:01,710
and becoming an advocate
for Lyndal.

1015
00:59:04,575 --> 00:59:06,335
I'm just calling it as it is.

1016
00:59:09,856 --> 00:59:12,238
Mrs Aderman, I'd like you
to tell the jury

1017
00:59:12,272 --> 00:59:15,413
about what happened
on the 8th November

1018
00:59:15,448 --> 00:59:17,761
when you were
boarding housemistress

1019
00:59:17,795 --> 00:59:19,038
of Brewster House.

1020
00:59:21,730 --> 00:59:23,939
Most of the boarders were away
on choir camp.

1021
00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:31,878
[indistinct chatter]

1022
00:59:31,913 --> 00:59:33,880
[Mrs Aderman]
Okay, hop into bed, girls.

1023
00:59:33,915 --> 00:59:34,847
Lights out.

1024
00:59:35,813 --> 00:59:37,056
No talking.

1025
00:59:37,781 --> 00:59:38,782
Goodnight.

1026
00:59:41,025 --> 00:59:42,095
[door closes]

1027
00:59:43,787 --> 00:59:48,032
-[soft music playing]
-[flag pole rattling]

1028
00:59:49,793 --> 00:59:50,794
[whispers] Margaret.

1029
01:00:06,844 --> 01:00:08,087
[sighs]

1030
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:10,814
[stairs creaking]

1031
01:00:23,136 --> 01:00:24,241
[door knocks]

1032
01:00:28,141 --> 01:00:29,556
[Kevin whispers] Hi.

1033
01:00:29,591 --> 01:00:30,799
Go sit down on the pillows.

1034
01:00:36,667 --> 01:00:37,599
[lock clicks]

1035
01:00:40,637 --> 01:00:42,155
[Mrs Aderman]
Margaret woke up and saw

1036
01:00:42,190 --> 01:00:43,674
that Lyndal was not in her bed.

1037
01:00:43,709 --> 01:00:45,676
So she ran to my room
to tell me.

1038
01:00:45,711 --> 01:00:46,919
Lyndal!

1039
01:00:48,921 --> 01:00:49,818
Lyndal!

1040
01:00:52,131 --> 01:00:53,097
Lyndal!

1041
01:00:54,098 --> 01:00:56,031
Lyndal!

1042
01:00:56,066 --> 01:00:58,447
[Kevin] Don't you say anything.
You'll be in big trouble, okay?

1043
01:00:59,966 --> 01:01:01,485
Oh, look, it's Mrs A.

1044
01:01:02,969 --> 01:01:05,040
I found Lyndal crying
on the steps inside.

1045
01:01:05,662 --> 01:01:06,870
Which steps?

1046
01:01:06,904 --> 01:01:08,043
Uh, near the common room.

1047
01:01:09,527 --> 01:01:10,459
I looked there.

1048
01:01:11,564 --> 01:01:12,876
Are you all right, Lyndal?

1049
01:01:12,910 --> 01:01:14,325
[Lyndal] Yes.

1050
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,810
-What were you upset about?
-[chuckles]

1051
01:01:16,569 --> 01:01:17,881
Not going to choir camp.

1052
01:01:20,504 --> 01:01:22,126
-Is that right?
-Yes.

1053
01:01:25,302 --> 01:01:26,337
Gave me a fright.

1054
01:01:34,035 --> 01:01:37,348
Mrs Aderman, did you at any time
discuss this incident

1055
01:01:37,383 --> 01:01:39,972
-with Principal Brewster?
-Yes.

1056
01:01:40,006 --> 01:01:42,319
He spoke with Mr Guy
and the school council about it

1057
01:01:42,353 --> 01:01:44,631
and they accepted
his explanation.

1058
01:01:44,666 --> 01:01:46,910
And did you take
any further action?

1059
01:01:48,532 --> 01:01:49,429
No.

1060
01:01:50,845 --> 01:01:52,605
I left it with Mr Brewster.

1061
01:01:52,639 --> 01:01:55,021
[Jean] Because it seemed like
a plausible explanation,

1062
01:01:55,056 --> 01:01:56,091
did it not?

1063
01:01:57,023 --> 01:01:57,886
Mrs Aderman?

1064
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:00,613
Possibly.

1065
01:02:04,272 --> 01:02:07,171
[Grace] I shaved my legs
and somebody dobbed on me.

1066
01:02:07,206 --> 01:02:09,898
Mr Guy sat me down and said,

1067
01:02:09,933 --> 01:02:13,419
"Girls shouldn't shave their
legs any higher than their knees

1068
01:02:13,453 --> 01:02:16,215
because when men like to feel
their legs...

1069
01:02:16,940 --> 01:02:18,596
they like to feel them smooth...

1070
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:20,909
and not prickly".

1071
01:02:20,944 --> 01:02:25,396
As he was telling me this,
he had his hand up my uniform...

1072
01:02:26,915 --> 01:02:29,918
and was feeling my leg right up
to where my knickers go.

1073
01:02:30,988 --> 01:02:33,439
I was afraid to tell my mum...

1074
01:02:33,473 --> 01:02:36,269
but the next time
I saw her I did...

1075
01:02:36,304 --> 01:02:38,306
and she grabbed me by my hand

1076
01:02:38,340 --> 01:02:40,480
and took me
to Principal Brewster's office

1077
01:02:40,515 --> 01:02:44,346
and my mum said that,
"Mr Guy's been touching Grace".

1078
01:02:44,381 --> 01:02:47,384
And what did Brewster say?

1079
01:02:49,006 --> 01:02:52,941
He said,
"Grace has a vivid imagination".

1080
01:02:52,976 --> 01:02:56,048
"I wouldn't believe everything
she says".

1081
01:02:56,082 --> 01:03:00,915
You were sent to the school
because your parents split up?

1082
01:03:02,157 --> 01:03:04,263
Ah... yes.

1083
01:03:04,297 --> 01:03:05,989
[Jean] Did you miss your father?

1084
01:03:08,508 --> 01:03:10,476
Yes, like any child would.

1085
01:03:11,926 --> 01:03:15,308
Do you accept that you
sought out Mr Guy's company...

1086
01:03:15,930 --> 01:03:17,241
because of that?

1087
01:03:17,276 --> 01:03:19,450
[Grace] I didn't seek out
his company.

1088
01:03:19,485 --> 01:03:21,452
He was... he was there
as a father figure.

1089
01:03:21,487 --> 01:03:24,801
He was there to provide
care for us. That was his job.

1090
01:03:24,835 --> 01:03:27,113
What did Mr Brewster
tell you he would do...

1091
01:03:28,045 --> 01:03:30,668
after you and your mother
went to see him?

1092
01:03:30,703 --> 01:03:33,671
Well, he told my mother
that he would talk to Mr Guy

1093
01:03:33,706 --> 01:03:35,087
and investigate further.

1094
01:03:38,021 --> 01:03:39,332
No more questions, Your Honour.

1095
01:03:49,515 --> 01:03:50,481
[Karen] Mr Roche?

1096
01:03:51,137 --> 01:03:52,483
[Stephen] Yes?

1097
01:03:52,518 --> 01:03:55,003
-You came by my house last week.
-Karen.

1098
01:03:55,038 --> 01:03:56,418
[Karen]
Can we talk for a minute?

1099
01:03:56,453 --> 01:03:57,454
Yes, of course.

1100
01:04:00,595 --> 01:04:02,804
Oh, uh, Bob Myers.
He's... he's the barrister

1101
01:04:02,839 --> 01:04:04,841
representing Lyndal in the case.
Bob.

1102
01:04:06,152 --> 01:04:07,050
It's okay.

1103
01:04:08,845 --> 01:04:10,053
Please, go on.

1104
01:04:11,330 --> 01:04:14,022
I told Principal Brewster
what Mr Guy did to me.

1105
01:04:15,299 --> 01:04:16,197
[Stephen] Yes?

1106
01:04:17,715 --> 01:04:18,820
I told him that...

1107
01:04:19,683 --> 01:04:20,546
Mr Guy...

1108
01:04:21,271 --> 01:04:23,204
put his hand on my breast.

1109
01:04:23,238 --> 01:04:25,309
Mr Brewster said
that it was probably accidental,

1110
01:04:25,344 --> 01:04:27,346
that Mr Guy may have
brushed over my breast

1111
01:04:27,380 --> 01:04:30,590
by accident, but I told him
it wasn't an accident.

1112
01:04:31,591 --> 01:04:32,903
Mr Guy's hand stayed there.

1113
01:04:34,215 --> 01:04:35,595
And... and when was this?

1114
01:04:36,458 --> 01:04:38,771
[Karen] Just before Easter.

1115
01:04:38,805 --> 01:04:41,187
You're... you're sure
it was before Easter?

1116
01:04:41,222 --> 01:04:42,154
Yes.

1117
01:04:43,051 --> 01:04:46,261
I remember he gave me
an Easter egg.

1118
01:04:46,296 --> 01:04:48,470
That was before
Lyndal's abuse even started.

1119
01:04:48,505 --> 01:04:49,989
If Brewster had acted then.

1120
01:04:52,785 --> 01:04:55,201
Will you testify tomorrow?

1121
01:05:01,794 --> 01:05:03,209
[Stephen] We had a better day.

1122
01:05:03,244 --> 01:05:05,556
Oh. Bully for you.

1123
01:05:07,282 --> 01:05:09,284
[Stephen]
I'm in trouble, aren't I?

1124
01:05:09,319 --> 01:05:13,357
Oh, Tom got into a fight
with that Cameron Bruce kid.

1125
01:05:13,392 --> 01:05:14,600
There was lots of pushing.

1126
01:05:17,223 --> 01:05:19,053
-[sighs]
-Yeah.

1127
01:05:19,087 --> 01:05:22,194
And then he called you
a fucking Judas.

1128
01:05:23,850 --> 01:05:28,303
It's an opinion held by his...
his dad after he read the paper.

1129
01:05:28,338 --> 01:05:30,754
They've got a couple of kids
at Toowoomba Prep.

1130
01:05:31,928 --> 01:05:32,825
I'll sort it.

1131
01:05:34,758 --> 01:05:35,655
When?

1132
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:40,937
[Stephen clears throat]

1133
01:05:44,699 --> 01:05:46,321
I'm sorry about
what happened to you.

1134
01:05:54,191 --> 01:05:55,330
Tom, please talk to me.

1135
01:05:57,298 --> 01:05:58,230
No.

1136
01:06:00,335 --> 01:06:01,992
It'll be all right tomorrow,
Daddy.

1137
01:06:11,001 --> 01:06:11,933
[Stephen sniffs]

1138
01:06:15,419 --> 01:06:16,973
-Jodes.
-Hey.

1139
01:06:17,007 --> 01:06:18,975
Karen's not here and she's
not answering her phone.

1140
01:06:19,009 --> 01:06:20,873
[Stephen] Oh.

1141
01:06:20,907 --> 01:06:24,152
-Who've we got left?
-Mrs Aderman, Sue and Lyndal.

1142
01:06:24,187 --> 01:06:25,602
Go. I'll get Bob to stall.

1143
01:06:27,328 --> 01:06:28,260
Fuck.

1144
01:06:30,952 --> 01:06:32,816
Karen? Steve Roche.

1145
01:06:34,369 --> 01:06:36,440
Mr Atwell, have you seen Karen
this morning?

1146
01:06:36,475 --> 01:06:37,510
She's due in court.

1147
01:06:38,028 --> 01:06:39,098
[scoffs]

1148
01:06:39,133 --> 01:06:40,617
She won't be giving evidence.

1149
01:06:42,205 --> 01:06:45,484
Sir, she's 22 years old.
Legally, you can't stop her.

1150
01:06:45,518 --> 01:06:47,624
[chuckles] She's gone to London.

1151
01:06:49,384 --> 01:06:51,214
-London?
-Hmm.

1152
01:06:51,248 --> 01:06:53,354
-Surprise birthday present.
-For how long?

1153
01:06:53,388 --> 01:06:56,909
Oh, I don't know. I think you
can get a visa for two years.

1154
01:07:01,845 --> 01:07:04,917
Your daughter was
probably abused when she was 12.

1155
01:07:06,194 --> 01:07:07,989
You don't want to deal with it.

1156
01:07:08,024 --> 01:07:09,646
There's nothing to deal with.

1157
01:07:11,579 --> 01:07:12,545
Good day.

1158
01:07:14,685 --> 01:07:19,173
[footsteps receding]

1159
01:07:19,207 --> 01:07:20,898
-[Stephen] What's happening?
-[Jodie] Bob suggested

1160
01:07:20,933 --> 01:07:23,142
the jury take a look at the
school before further testimony.

1161
01:07:25,213 --> 01:07:26,318
Oh, that's clever.

1162
01:07:26,939 --> 01:07:28,423
It's another stupid delay.

1163
01:07:30,184 --> 01:07:32,324
[Stephen] But one we needed.
[sighs]

1164
01:07:33,601 --> 01:07:36,052
Lyndal, I think it's a good idea
that you come with us.

1165
01:07:38,261 --> 01:07:40,332
-No way.
-I know it will be hard,

1166
01:07:40,366 --> 01:07:41,229
but, um...

1167
01:07:43,093 --> 01:07:45,233
it'll be good for the jury
to see how hard.

1168
01:07:46,234 --> 01:07:48,029
It will help the case, please.

1169
01:07:48,064 --> 01:07:50,790
[soft music playing]

1170
01:07:51,412 --> 01:07:53,793
[indistinct chatter]

1171
01:08:10,155 --> 01:08:12,778
This is the Year 7 common room,
everyone.

1172
01:08:24,272 --> 01:08:25,377
Lyndal.

1173
01:08:30,589 --> 01:08:32,660
Lyndal, come in, come in.

1174
01:08:33,419 --> 01:08:34,317
[gasps]

1175
01:08:35,525 --> 01:08:36,422
[Stephen] Lyndal.

1176
01:08:36,974 --> 01:08:38,079
It's okay.

1177
01:08:39,356 --> 01:08:41,876
-[whimpers]
-Just--

1178
01:08:41,910 --> 01:08:42,911
[Lyndal] Get away!

1179
01:08:43,498 --> 01:08:44,430
[Stephen] Sue!

1180
01:08:46,432 --> 01:08:47,295
[Sue] Lyndal!

1181
01:08:48,641 --> 01:08:50,471
Lyndal! Sweetheart!

1182
01:08:51,506 --> 01:08:52,956
-Lyndal!
-I can't do this!

1183
01:08:54,337 --> 01:08:57,340
You sent me back here
and I... I begged you, I...

1184
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:00,688
I begged you
not to send me back.

1185
01:09:05,002 --> 01:09:05,969
[Stephen] I'm so sorry.

1186
01:09:07,384 --> 01:09:09,179
Please, look,
just get her back to the hotel.

1187
01:09:09,214 --> 01:09:10,491
I'll deal with this.

1188
01:09:11,526 --> 01:09:14,978
[dramatic music playing]

1189
01:09:15,012 --> 01:09:16,945
[phone ringing]

1190
01:09:31,236 --> 01:09:32,720
I spoke to Sue.

1191
01:09:32,754 --> 01:09:33,997
She's definitely in her room,

1192
01:09:34,031 --> 01:09:35,516
but she's not
answering the door.

1193
01:09:35,550 --> 01:09:38,104
-Oh, I'll go over.
-[Jodie] It's fine, Steve.

1194
01:09:38,139 --> 01:09:39,658
She knows
she's on the stand tomorrow.

1195
01:09:39,692 --> 01:09:41,694
Okay, Sue reckons
she just needs to sleep.

1196
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:46,458
What are you doing?

1197
01:09:47,735 --> 01:09:51,014
School council minutes.
You sure we've got a full set?

1198
01:09:51,048 --> 01:09:53,154
Yeah,
school council met fortnightly.

1199
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:55,087
It took them forever,
but they're all there.

1200
01:09:56,537 --> 01:09:58,159
Why?

1201
01:09:58,194 --> 01:10:01,197
January 19 was the first meeting
of the year

1202
01:10:01,231 --> 01:10:03,475
after the suicide
and police report,

1203
01:10:03,509 --> 01:10:05,131
and they hardly discuss it.

1204
01:10:05,166 --> 01:10:06,409
What about the redaction?

1205
01:10:07,893 --> 01:10:09,308
-What this?
-[Jodie] Hmm.

1206
01:10:09,343 --> 01:10:10,827
A couple of sentences.

1207
01:10:10,861 --> 01:10:13,174
Brewster would have to be
one hell of a summariser.

1208
01:10:13,209 --> 01:10:16,867
"Girls abused. Stop.
Call the Archbishop. Stop".

1209
01:10:16,902 --> 01:10:18,214
Right, I'll go through it again.

1210
01:10:20,008 --> 01:10:21,113
Don't you need to go?

1211
01:10:24,185 --> 01:10:25,117
Yes.

1212
01:10:25,842 --> 01:10:26,739
Yes.

1213
01:10:27,430 --> 01:10:31,399

[indistinct chatter]

1216
01:10:57,149 --> 01:10:59,427
You're so late.

1217
01:10:59,462 --> 01:11:01,429
You're so beautiful.

1218
01:11:03,811 --> 01:11:05,261
You're still in trouble.

1219
01:11:18,101 --> 01:11:19,896
Mum showed me
the newspaper article.

1220
01:11:24,694 --> 01:11:26,937
She was Hannah's age
at the time.

1221
01:11:30,251 --> 01:11:31,390
I'm glad you're doing it.

1222
01:11:34,807 --> 01:11:35,739
[chuckles]

1223
01:11:41,158 --> 01:11:42,090
Hey.

1224
01:11:42,781 --> 01:11:43,954
-[Wendy] Yes?
-I gotta go.

1225
01:11:43,989 --> 01:11:44,921
[Wendy] Then go.

1226

01:12:42,219 --> 01:12:43,807
[phone ringing]

1231
01:12:49,019 --> 01:12:50,262
Lyndal, it's Steve again.

1232
01:12:51,608 --> 01:12:52,713
Please call me back.

1233
01:13:00,272 --> 01:13:03,724
[dramatic music
continues playing]

1234
01:13:14,700 --> 01:13:16,288
-[handbrake ratcheting]
-[seatbelt clicking]

1235
01:13:34,582 --> 01:13:35,549
Going somewhere?

1236
01:13:36,653 --> 01:13:37,896
You cleared out of your room.

1237
01:13:39,449 --> 01:13:40,450
That's right.

1238
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:44,765
They're gonna win, Steve.

1239
01:13:47,423 --> 01:13:48,596
Because they got more money...

1240
01:13:50,115 --> 01:13:51,392
and more lawyers...

1241
01:13:52,945 --> 01:13:55,327
and they're all smarter
than you.

1242
01:13:56,224 --> 01:13:58,434
[inhales, exhales sharply]

1243
01:14:07,443 --> 01:14:09,721
So just settle the thing
like you wanted to.

1244
01:14:10,722 --> 01:14:11,654
Hmm?

1245
01:14:12,793 --> 01:14:14,380
Cover your costs.

1246
01:14:14,415 --> 01:14:15,899
Save your reputation.

1247
01:14:17,418 --> 01:14:18,730
Least you still got one.

1248
01:14:19,420 --> 01:14:20,732
So that's it, is it?

1249
01:14:23,355 --> 01:14:25,978
"I can fucking handle it".
Didn't you say that?

1250
01:14:30,673 --> 01:14:32,916
It's okay.
Come on, let's just get back.

1251
01:14:34,539 --> 01:14:35,471
[Lyndal] No!

1252
01:14:39,992 --> 01:14:41,373
-No, you know what?
-What?

1253
01:14:42,132 --> 01:14:43,824
You and your baggy suits...

1254
01:14:44,825 --> 01:14:45,860
and your shitty car...

1255
01:14:47,310 --> 01:14:50,002
and your "I just want
what's best for you

1256
01:14:50,037 --> 01:14:51,521
in the long run" routine.

1257
01:14:53,212 --> 01:14:54,144
No.

1258
01:14:55,629 --> 01:14:56,699
I'm not buying it.

1259
01:14:58,459 --> 01:14:59,598
You're just like them.

1260
01:15:03,533 --> 01:15:04,707
But I'm not like them.

1261
01:15:08,296 --> 01:15:09,194
If you give up...

1262
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:13,681
they will have screwed us both.

1263
01:15:18,548 --> 01:15:23,173
[soft music playing]

1264
01:15:25,210 --> 01:15:26,211

[train whistle blowing]

1266
01:15:43,366 --> 01:15:45,437
[train approaching]

1267
01:16:00,590 --> 01:16:02,834
[Sue] I got a letter from...

1268
01:16:02,868 --> 01:16:06,631
Lyndal just out of the blue
saying she hated school.

1269
01:16:06,665 --> 01:16:09,461
Nobody liked her and she wanted
to come home. So I...

1270
01:16:10,876 --> 01:16:12,844
drove straight to Toowoomba
to see Lyndal.

1271
01:16:12,878 --> 01:16:15,122
You see,
I just couldn't understand why,

1272
01:16:15,156 --> 01:16:17,365
she wanted to come home. So...

1273
01:16:18,539 --> 01:16:20,265
I made her stay there.

1274
01:16:20,299 --> 01:16:22,681
And when did you find out

1275
01:16:22,716 --> 01:16:26,236
what had been going on
with Kevin Guy?

1276
01:16:26,271 --> 01:16:28,687
[Sue] Well, it wasn't until
the police phoned

1277
01:16:28,722 --> 01:16:31,069
in the school holidays.
They said they were concerned

1278
01:16:31,103 --> 01:16:33,796
that something may have
happened with Lyndal

1279
01:16:33,830 --> 01:16:36,453
-and another girl at the school.
-[stenographers keys clacking]

1280
01:16:37,247 --> 01:16:38,870
[Sue] Lyndal said

1281
01:16:38,904 --> 01:16:40,906
that she did have something
to say to the police,

1282
01:16:40,941 --> 01:16:43,495
but she wouldn't say
anything to us.

1283
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,809
I told her, "If...

1284
01:16:46,843 --> 01:16:48,604
this little girl
is making things up,

1285
01:16:48,638 --> 01:16:52,435
it will do dreadful damage
to this man's name".

1286
01:16:52,469 --> 01:16:54,817
Can you tell the court
how you found out

1287
01:16:54,851 --> 01:16:56,888
about Kevin Guy's suicide?

1288
01:17:04,999 --> 01:17:05,897
[door closes]

1289
01:17:10,142 --> 01:17:11,592
[phone ringing]

1290
01:17:11,627 --> 01:17:13,421
The police called
a few days later.

1291
01:17:16,079 --> 01:17:17,633
[phone ringing]

1292
01:17:21,982 --> 01:17:22,914
[Sue] Hello?

1293
01:17:24,329 --> 01:17:25,364
Yes, it is.

1294
01:17:26,814 --> 01:17:27,677
Yes.

1295
01:17:31,854 --> 01:17:32,751
Oh God.

1296
01:17:35,202 --> 01:17:36,479
Oh, my God.

1297
01:17:38,343 --> 01:17:39,309
Okay.

1298
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:41,760
Okay, thanks.

1299
01:17:42,865 --> 01:17:43,866
[phone clatters]

1300
01:17:44,970 --> 01:17:45,868
What?

1301
01:17:50,010 --> 01:17:51,528
Mr Guy's dead.

1302
01:17:54,428 --> 01:17:57,051
They found his body
up near Perseverance Dam.

1303
01:17:58,397 --> 01:18:00,641
It was in his car.
It was suicide.

1304
01:18:01,193 --> 01:18:02,367
[cries]

1305
01:18:02,401 --> 01:18:03,989
God, it's awful.

1306
01:18:04,024 --> 01:18:06,336
Don't you dare cry over him!

1307
01:18:06,371 --> 01:18:10,099
[poignant music playing]

1308
01:18:10,133 --> 01:18:11,790
[sobbing]

1309
01:18:37,954 --> 01:18:41,233
[poignant music
continues playing]

1310
01:18:42,510 --> 01:18:43,408
[Lyndal sobs]

1311
01:18:50,518 --> 01:18:52,175
[sobs]

1312
01:19:01,702 --> 01:19:03,083
[sobbing]

1313
01:19:04,394 --> 01:19:07,052
[Sue]
I wrote letters to Brewster...

1314
01:19:07,087 --> 01:19:11,022
to Bishop Charles, to the school
PandC, to the school committee.

1315
01:19:12,748 --> 01:19:15,026
I rang Hollingworth
eight or nine times.

1316
01:19:15,060 --> 01:19:17,235
I'd even rehearse
what I was gonna say,

1317
01:19:17,269 --> 01:19:18,754
but he was never available.

1318
01:19:19,409 --> 01:19:20,445
And what did you want?

1319
01:19:21,135 --> 01:19:22,585
[Sue] I wanted help.

1320
01:19:22,619 --> 01:19:23,793
[Bob] What happened?

1321
01:19:24,656 --> 01:19:25,622
Nothing.

1322
01:19:31,283 --> 01:19:33,389
So when you drove your daughter
to the police station

1323
01:19:33,423 --> 01:19:37,117
that first time,
you told her to tell the truth

1324
01:19:37,151 --> 01:19:38,774
and not make anything up.

1325
01:19:39,913 --> 01:19:41,431
-Yes?
-Yes.

1326
01:19:42,122 --> 01:19:44,400
Was your daughter prone to...

1327
01:19:44,434 --> 01:19:46,264
telling lies
or making things up?

1328
01:19:46,298 --> 01:19:47,990
[Sue] No.

1329
01:19:48,024 --> 01:19:50,820
[Jean] Then why would you need
to tell her to tell the truth?

1330
01:19:50,855 --> 01:19:52,166
Well, it was the police

1331
01:19:52,201 --> 01:19:53,961
and a man's reputation
was at stake.

1332
01:19:54,513 --> 01:19:55,998
I put it to you

1333
01:19:56,032 --> 01:19:58,310
that you had your doubts
about the facts of the story

1334
01:19:58,345 --> 01:19:59,795
just as the school did.

1335
01:19:59,829 --> 01:20:01,969
I just didn't know
all the facts at the time.

1336
01:20:08,355 --> 01:20:09,287
Thank you.

1337
01:20:13,774 --> 01:20:14,844
If I had have attacked

1338
01:20:14,879 --> 01:20:16,950
the mother's credibility
any more,

1339
01:20:16,984 --> 01:20:19,538
it would have done more harm
than good.

1340
01:20:19,573 --> 01:20:22,438
There's too much to try
and refute.

1341
01:20:22,472 --> 01:20:25,165
We have not had Lyndal
on the stand yet.

1342
01:20:25,199 --> 01:20:26,683
The longer this trial goes on,

1343
01:20:26,718 --> 01:20:28,478
the more adverse
the publicity will be.

1344
01:20:28,513 --> 01:20:30,273
We need to settle.

1345
01:20:30,308 --> 01:20:33,345
The school council won't budge.
We can't go any higher.

1346
01:20:33,380 --> 01:20:35,209
Remember you said
that if they slam you

1347
01:20:35,244 --> 01:20:37,729
-for exemplary damages--
-We need to remain calm.

1348
01:20:38,626 --> 01:20:40,628
Our case is strong.

1349
01:20:40,663 --> 01:20:42,699
And remember, we still have
Brewster up our sleeve.

1350
01:20:44,046 --> 01:20:46,117
The mother's testimony
was emotional.

1351
01:20:46,151 --> 01:20:48,222
The law is not emotional.

1352
01:20:50,328 --> 01:20:51,398
Are you ready, Lyndal?

1353
01:20:52,295 --> 01:20:53,193
[Lyndal] Mm-hmm.

1354
01:21:05,653 --> 01:21:06,551
It's just me.

1355
01:21:11,452 --> 01:21:13,799
First he asked if I'd like
to take my shirt off,

1356
01:21:13,834 --> 01:21:15,249
but I said no.

1357
01:21:15,284 --> 01:21:18,149
Objection. The abuse
has been admitted.

1358
01:21:18,183 --> 01:21:20,151
My learned friend
is just going over the facts

1359
01:21:20,185 --> 01:21:24,224
-that are no longer in dispute.
-The very reason we're here

1360
01:21:24,258 --> 01:21:27,054
is that she has
never been allowed

1361
01:21:27,089 --> 01:21:28,780
to tell her story.

1362
01:21:28,814 --> 01:21:31,783
The defendant has never wanted
to hear it, Your Honour.

1363
01:21:33,233 --> 01:21:34,199
Go on, Lyndal.

1364
01:21:38,238 --> 01:21:39,860
After a few weeks, he asked...

1365
01:21:40,585 --> 01:21:43,346
if he undressed,
would I undress?

1366
01:21:44,106 --> 01:21:45,624
He said that would be fair.

1367
01:21:47,109 --> 01:21:49,421
When I was naked,
he would kiss my breasts.

1368
01:21:51,044 --> 01:21:51,907
My nipples.

1369
01:21:53,736 --> 01:21:55,531
And he put his finger
in my vagina.

1370
01:21:59,259 --> 01:22:01,882
He would take my hand
and put it on his penis

1371
01:22:01,917 --> 01:22:04,402
and talk about how big
and hard it was.

1372
01:22:06,956 --> 01:22:09,441
He said, "Don't be frightened
if something wet happened".

1373
01:22:12,410 --> 01:22:15,206
When he put his penis
in my vagina for the first time,

1374
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,277
it hurt, so he took it out.

1375
01:22:19,796 --> 01:22:21,626
And he asked about my period,

1376
01:22:21,660 --> 01:22:23,731
said right after
was the best time to have sex.

1377
01:22:26,527 --> 01:22:28,219
And he kissed me
between my legs.

1378
01:22:32,016 --> 01:22:33,672
He told me that I was special...

1379
01:22:34,846 --> 01:22:36,813
and that he was falling in love
with me.

1380
01:22:39,299 --> 01:22:42,440
Not long after we had full sex,
he didn't see me as often.

1381
01:22:43,717 --> 01:22:45,512
[lips smack]
Maybe only once a week.

1382
01:22:48,032 --> 01:22:49,930
[Bob]
How did that make you feel?

1383
01:22:53,692 --> 01:22:55,073
Rejected. [chuckles]

1384
01:22:57,386 --> 01:22:58,974
Like I wasn't special anymore.

1385
01:23:00,768 --> 01:23:01,666
[Bob] Thank you, Lyndal.

1386
01:23:02,943 --> 01:23:04,082
Nothing further, Your Honour.

1387
01:23:07,292 --> 01:23:10,157
[clears throat]
You told, uh, Mr Myers

1388
01:23:10,192 --> 01:23:13,022
that you were good at maths
and wanted to go to university.

1389
01:23:14,575 --> 01:23:16,957
-Yes.
-But the abuse left you unable

1390
01:23:16,992 --> 01:23:19,511
to study and unable
to go to university?

1391
01:23:20,719 --> 01:23:21,651
[Lyndal] Yes.

1392
01:23:22,342 --> 01:23:23,481
University?

1393
01:23:24,516 --> 01:23:25,448
Really?

1394
01:23:26,173 --> 01:23:28,451
Was that a realistic goal?

1395
01:23:30,833 --> 01:23:33,146
Well, I did want to go
to university.

1396
01:23:33,180 --> 01:23:36,045
[Jean] Has anyone in your family
finished high school?

1397
01:23:37,978 --> 01:23:39,669
No.

1398
01:23:39,704 --> 01:23:43,018
Your sister, Melissa,
was expelled from St. Ursula's,

1399
01:23:43,052 --> 01:23:44,536
-wasn't she?
-[Lyndal] Yes.

1400
01:23:45,503 --> 01:23:47,160
[Jean]
And after she was expelled,

1401
01:23:47,194 --> 01:23:48,644
she never returned to school?

1402
01:23:50,611 --> 01:23:52,337
No, she didn't return to school.

1403
01:23:52,372 --> 01:23:55,996
She married early
and... and had a family.

1404
01:23:56,031 --> 01:23:58,033
-[Lyndal] Yes.
-[Jean] Did she ever work?

1405
01:23:59,103 --> 01:24:01,346
She worked as a secretary
in Moree.

1406
01:24:01,381 --> 01:24:03,003
[Jean] Hmm.

1407
01:24:03,038 --> 01:24:05,385
So isn't it more likely
that you might have become

1408
01:24:05,419 --> 01:24:08,388
a secretary or
stayed on the farm?

1409
01:24:10,838 --> 01:24:11,943
No... no.

1410
01:24:14,394 --> 01:24:18,053
[Jean] I'd like to turn, if I
might, to your arrest record.

1411
01:24:19,882 --> 01:24:23,506
[indistinct chatter]

1412
01:24:35,484 --> 01:24:37,934
[Margaret] Ms Dalton,
might now be a good time

1413
01:24:37,969 --> 01:24:39,212
to break for the day.

1414
01:24:39,246 --> 01:24:40,834
I'm almost finished,
Your Honour.

1415
01:24:40,868 --> 01:24:41,800
Lyndal...

1416
01:24:42,870 --> 01:24:45,080
why didn't you
just tell somebody?

1417
01:24:45,114 --> 01:24:48,117
Mrs Aderman asked if there was
anything going on.

1418
01:24:48,152 --> 01:24:51,707
Mr Brewster asked
if there's anything going on.

1419
01:24:52,397 --> 01:24:54,089
Even your mother asked.

1420
01:24:56,125 --> 01:24:57,471
He said, "Don't tell".

1421
01:24:58,610 --> 01:24:59,749
That it was our secret.

1422
01:25:01,337 --> 01:25:02,959
That I would be in big trouble

1423
01:25:02,994 --> 01:25:04,651
and that no one
would believe me.

1424
01:25:07,723 --> 01:25:08,620
I was scared.

1425
01:25:12,003 --> 01:25:13,660
Then how could
anyone have known?

1426
01:25:20,253 --> 01:25:21,288
They couldn't have known.

1427
01:25:22,255 --> 01:25:23,290
Could you repeat that?

1428
01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:26,914
[soft music playing]

1429
01:25:26,949 --> 01:25:28,433
They couldn't have known.

1430
01:25:28,468 --> 01:25:29,917
They couldn't have known.

1431
01:25:32,851 --> 01:25:34,129
Nothing further, Your Honour.

1432
01:25:51,387 --> 01:25:56,461
[soft music continues playing]

1433
01:26:10,958 --> 01:26:12,201
I think I have something.

1434
01:26:14,169 --> 01:26:16,032
Okay, the first motion
of every school meeting

1435
01:26:16,067 --> 01:26:18,552
is to verify the minutes from
the previous meeting, right?

1436
01:26:19,726 --> 01:26:21,037
That's what's redacted.

1437
01:26:21,072 --> 01:26:22,038
[Bob] You're guessing.

1438
01:26:24,834 --> 01:26:26,629
Because the previous minutes...

1439
01:26:27,872 --> 01:26:29,287
are from a meeting
that the school

1440
01:26:29,322 --> 01:26:31,324
didn't want us to know about.

1441
01:26:31,358 --> 01:26:34,810
An emergency meeting
of the school council

1442
01:26:34,844 --> 01:26:37,192
prior to
the January 19th meeting.

1443
01:26:38,676 --> 01:26:41,989
And that would explain why
it looks like the school council

1444
01:26:42,024 --> 01:26:43,819
has barely discussed
the abuse at all.

1445
01:26:43,853 --> 01:26:46,546
It's too flimsy, Steve.

1446
01:26:46,580 --> 01:26:48,582
Dalton will have Brewster
well prepared.

1447
01:26:48,617 --> 01:26:50,343
[Stephen]
Just get me Staniforth.

1448
01:26:50,377 --> 01:26:52,690
-[Jodie] On it.
-[phone keys clacking]

1449
01:26:55,900 --> 01:26:57,315
[phone trilling]

1450
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:00,698
-[phone clicks]
-[Mr Staniforth] Hello?

1451
01:27:01,630 --> 01:27:03,908
Mr Staniforth,
it's Steve Roche here.

1452
01:27:03,942 --> 01:27:05,703
Look, I'm sorry
to bother you so late.

1453
01:27:05,737 --> 01:27:07,360
I thought we agreed
that I could not

1454
01:27:07,394 --> 01:27:09,224
in good conscience
talk to you, Mr Roche.

1455
01:27:09,258 --> 01:27:11,778
We're just, uh, we're just doing
some last minute housekeeping

1456
01:27:11,812 --> 01:27:15,091
for tomorrow and I just wanted
to be sure that you were present

1457
01:27:15,126 --> 01:27:17,542
at the extraordinary meeting
that was held

1458
01:27:17,577 --> 01:27:20,373
to discuss the allegations
of sexual abuse.

1459
01:27:20,407 --> 01:27:21,339
The December meeting?

1460
01:27:22,375 --> 01:27:24,204
From memory, we were all there.

1461
01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:27,380
But any absences will be listed
in the minutes we supplied.

1462
01:27:27,414 --> 01:27:28,795
The December meeting.

1463
01:27:28,829 --> 01:27:30,521
You've... you've supplied those,
of course.

1464
01:27:30,555 --> 01:27:32,799
I'm... I'm looking at
the March meeting.

1465
01:27:32,833 --> 01:27:34,973
I... Thank you.
Have a good night.

1466
01:27:36,458 --> 01:27:38,011
[Jodie chuckles]

1467
01:27:38,045 --> 01:27:39,392
[Stephen] We need those minutes.

1468
01:27:41,946 --> 01:27:43,050
Mrs Dalton.

1469
01:27:43,948 --> 01:27:44,811
Bob.

1470
01:27:45,501 --> 01:27:49,609
[dramatic music playing]

1471
01:27:54,683 --> 01:27:56,167
Here are the minutes
for a meeting

1472
01:27:56,201 --> 01:27:58,928
of which I was completely
unaware until last night.

1473
01:27:58,963 --> 01:28:00,413
Thank you.

1474
01:28:00,447 --> 01:28:02,380
But my responsibility
is still with my client.

1475
01:28:02,415 --> 01:28:03,588
[Jodie] Of course.

1476
01:28:03,623 --> 01:28:04,486
Nice shirt.

1477
01:28:13,115 --> 01:28:14,461
[Stephen] What have you got?

1478
01:28:14,496 --> 01:28:16,429
[Jodie] The school council,
they were divided.

1479
01:28:16,463 --> 01:28:19,294
And the school nurse?
She complained about something.

1480
01:28:20,778 --> 01:28:22,020
Brewster wanted her silenced.

1481
01:28:22,780 --> 01:28:24,299
-What for?
-Didn't say.

1482
01:28:27,336 --> 01:28:29,131
[Stephen]
You make Brewster squirm.

1483
01:28:29,165 --> 01:28:31,306
-Just take your time.
-[Bob chuckles]

1484
01:28:31,340 --> 01:28:33,860
[Stephen sighs]
Oh, here, my bag!

1485
01:28:34,378 --> 01:28:35,344
Take my bag.

1486
01:28:36,449 --> 01:28:38,313
When a teacher feels
it is appropriate

1487
01:28:38,347 --> 01:28:41,661
to demonstrate some form
of tactile communication,

1488
01:28:41,695 --> 01:28:44,974
then contact should be made
only on the head or shoulders.

1489
01:28:45,803 --> 01:28:48,150
And this is school policy?

1490
01:28:48,184 --> 01:28:51,187
Yes, yes, it's just
one part of a policy

1491
01:28:51,222 --> 01:28:55,053
that I introduced in 1986
when I first started at Prep.

1492
01:28:55,088 --> 01:28:57,849
It was important to me
that we remain vigilant.

1493
01:28:58,988 --> 01:29:01,784
Mr Brewster, did you ever
personally see Kevin Guy

1494
01:29:01,819 --> 01:29:03,165
breach your policy?

1495
01:29:03,199 --> 01:29:04,649
No, I did not.

1496
01:29:04,684 --> 01:29:06,996
Did you ever receive
any complaints

1497
01:29:07,031 --> 01:29:10,310
about Mr Guy's conduct in 1990?

1498
01:29:10,345 --> 01:29:13,831
Yes, uh, I'm a bit vague
on the exact time.

1499
01:29:14,763 --> 01:29:17,248
One of the girls alleged
that Mr Guy

1500
01:29:17,282 --> 01:29:19,526
had brushed against her leg
while explaining

1501
01:29:19,561 --> 01:29:21,494
the school policy on shaving.

1502
01:29:21,528 --> 01:29:25,877
The, uh, the girl involved
was prone to heavy exaggeration.

1503
01:29:27,500 --> 01:29:29,571
The nurses, um...

1504
01:29:29,605 --> 01:29:33,229
they thought that Kevin was
perhaps a bit over-familiar

1505
01:29:33,264 --> 01:29:35,473
with the young girls,
allowing them to...

1506
01:29:35,508 --> 01:29:37,164
drape their arms
around his neck.

1507
01:29:37,199 --> 01:29:39,857
[Jean] And did this make you
suspicious of Mr Guy?

1508
01:29:39,891 --> 01:29:41,410
Not at all.

1509
01:29:41,445 --> 01:29:44,171
No, I thought Kevin
was doing his very best

1510
01:29:44,206 --> 01:29:47,105
to comfort young children
a long way from home...

1511
01:29:47,140 --> 01:29:48,935
without their parents
for the first time.

1512
01:29:50,557 --> 01:29:51,524
[door knocks]

1513
01:29:52,214 --> 01:29:53,664
[Lorraine] Mr Roche?

1514
01:29:53,698 --> 01:29:56,425
[Stephen] Look, I'm sorry
to just come around like this.

1515
01:29:56,460 --> 01:29:58,185
-But--
-As I said the other day,

1516
01:29:58,220 --> 01:29:59,877
-I can't help you.
-In late 1990,

1517
01:29:59,911 --> 01:30:02,707
there was an emergency meeting
called by Mr Brewster

1518
01:30:02,742 --> 01:30:04,571
for... for the school council
to get together.

1519
01:30:04,606 --> 01:30:06,711
-I never attended those!
-No, I understand that.

1520
01:30:06,746 --> 01:30:09,887
But... but at that meeting,
Brewster told the council

1521
01:30:09,921 --> 01:30:11,267
that you wanted to speak

1522
01:30:11,302 --> 01:30:13,131
to the Parents
and Friends Association

1523
01:30:13,166 --> 01:30:15,789
in regards to
inappropriate staff behaviour.

1524
01:30:15,824 --> 01:30:17,446
I don't recall.

1525
01:30:17,481 --> 01:30:19,621
And he stopped you from going
and saying anything.

1526
01:30:20,484 --> 01:30:21,416
Now please.

1527
01:30:23,935 --> 01:30:26,075
Look, I don't know.
I wasn't there.

1528
01:30:28,388 --> 01:30:30,390
But you... you were there...

1529
01:30:30,425 --> 01:30:32,737
at the school,
and you saw something.

1530
01:30:32,772 --> 01:30:35,153
Something strong enough
for the parents of those kids

1531
01:30:35,188 --> 01:30:36,810
to come to you
looking for the truth.

1532
01:30:36,845 --> 01:30:38,467
You were their nurse.

1533
01:30:38,502 --> 01:30:39,986
You were there to care for them.

1534
01:30:52,999 --> 01:30:54,000
I'm sorry...

1535
01:30:57,037 --> 01:30:58,453
that I'm such a bitch.
[chuckles]

1536
01:30:58,901 --> 01:30:59,799
[chuckles]

1537
01:31:02,422 --> 01:31:03,319
No.

1538
01:31:04,286 --> 01:31:05,425
No, I'm the one...

1539
01:31:06,253 --> 01:31:07,634
who should be saying sorry.

1540
01:31:10,810 --> 01:31:11,776
Watching you...

1541
01:31:12,536 --> 01:31:14,469
being so bloody brave...

1542
01:31:14,503 --> 01:31:16,816
makes me realize
what a coward I am.

1543
01:31:19,094 --> 01:31:19,991
[sobs]

1544
01:31:27,205 --> 01:31:29,484
I think I'm going to go in.

1545
01:31:35,455 --> 01:31:37,146
Then I'm going to come with you.

1546
01:31:39,217 --> 01:31:40,149
[chuckles]

1547
01:31:41,426 --> 01:31:44,395
[Robert] "You would all now be
aware of the recent tragic death

1548
01:31:44,429 --> 01:31:47,191
of our senior resident master,
Mr Kevin Guy".

1549
01:31:47,985 --> 01:31:49,780
"Mr Guy was a lovely man

1550
01:31:49,814 --> 01:31:52,714
and the best thing to happen to
this school since sliced bread".

1551
01:31:52,748 --> 01:31:54,854
"His love and great effort
for the school

1552
01:31:54,888 --> 01:31:56,131
will be sadly missed".

1553
01:31:56,752 --> 01:31:57,788
Just to confirm, sir.

1554
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,136
You delivered that letter
to parents,

1555
01:32:01,170 --> 01:32:03,690
including Lyndal's parents...

1556
01:32:03,725 --> 01:32:07,625
after Kevin Guy was charged
with child sex abuse by police?

1557
01:32:08,384 --> 01:32:09,247
Yes.

1558
01:32:10,352 --> 01:32:11,733
[Bob]
It's right to say there isn't

1559
01:32:11,767 --> 01:32:13,735
a word of contrition in it, eh?

1560
01:32:14,908 --> 01:32:17,566
It is right to say that, yes.

1561
01:32:17,601 --> 01:32:20,224
[Bob] Running schools is
a multimillion-dollar business

1562
01:32:20,258 --> 01:32:21,259
for the Anglican Church.

1563
01:32:21,881 --> 01:32:23,607
Most certainly.

1564
01:32:23,641 --> 01:32:25,505
It's also a Christian school,
with Christian values.

1565
01:32:25,540 --> 01:32:27,438
[Bob] So it would be
fair to say that

1566
01:32:27,472 --> 01:32:30,337
admitting child sexual abuse
had been prevalent

1567
01:32:30,372 --> 01:32:32,201
at your school would not be good
for business.

1568
01:32:32,236 --> 01:32:33,996
Objection, Your Honour.
Speculation.

1569
01:32:34,031 --> 01:32:35,550
Sustained.

1570
01:32:35,584 --> 01:32:37,897
[Bob] Let me rephrase.

1571
01:32:37,931 --> 01:32:40,900
Why has it taken so long
for the school to admit

1572
01:32:40,934 --> 01:32:43,558
that this abuse took place?

1573
01:32:43,592 --> 01:32:47,251
The school council was unanimous
at that time in our belief

1574
01:32:47,285 --> 01:32:49,909
that there was
insufficient evidence

1575
01:32:49,943 --> 01:32:52,118
that any actual wrongdoing
had occurred.

1576
01:32:52,152 --> 01:32:54,396
For the last 11 years,
you maintained

1577
01:32:54,430 --> 01:32:56,053
Kevin Guy was innocent.

1578
01:32:56,087 --> 01:32:58,745
A person is entitled
to the presumption of innocence,

1579
01:32:58,780 --> 01:33:00,057
aren't they, Mr Myers?

1580
01:33:00,091 --> 01:33:01,921
And when Guy offered
his resignation,

1581
01:33:01,955 --> 01:33:03,543
you still thought
he was innocent?

1582
01:33:03,578 --> 01:33:05,614
I thought he was trying
to protect the school.

1583
01:33:05,649 --> 01:33:07,720
-[Bob] From what?
-Adverse publicity.

1584
01:33:07,754 --> 01:33:09,445
Is that why
he committed suicide?

1585
01:33:09,480 --> 01:33:10,723
Your Honour.

1586
01:33:10,757 --> 01:33:11,896
[Bob] I withdraw the question.

1587
01:33:13,726 --> 01:33:16,556
But you say the school council
shared your view?

1588
01:33:16,591 --> 01:33:19,041
-Yes.
-[Bob] Even after his suicide?

1589
01:33:19,076 --> 01:33:19,939
Yes.

1590
01:33:24,599 --> 01:33:28,223
I ask you to look at this copy
of the minutes

1591
01:33:28,257 --> 01:33:30,225
from the emergency meeting
of the school council

1592
01:33:30,259 --> 01:33:31,813
in December 1990.

1593
01:33:31,847 --> 01:33:34,574
The school council minutes
are not relevant.

1594
01:33:34,609 --> 01:33:36,093
We have admitted the abuse.

1595
01:33:36,127 --> 01:33:39,027
It's relevant to
exemplary damages, Your Honour.

1596
01:33:39,061 --> 01:33:39,993
I'll allow it.

1597
01:33:42,271 --> 01:33:44,791
[Bob]
Page six, second paragraph.

1598
01:33:45,827 --> 01:33:48,277
Mr Brewster, you told this court
only moments ago

1599
01:33:48,312 --> 01:33:51,453
that the school council
was united in their belief

1600
01:33:51,487 --> 01:33:54,076
that the allegations
against Kevin Guy were false.

1601
01:33:54,111 --> 01:33:56,492
But these minutes clearly show
several members

1602
01:33:56,527 --> 01:33:58,633
of the school council
were not convinced

1603
01:33:58,667 --> 01:34:00,635
of Kevin Guy's innocence
and pressed for

1604
01:34:00,669 --> 01:34:04,500
a thorough investigation.
But you shut them down.

1605
01:34:04,535 --> 01:34:08,159
Would you agree with that
or do you need to read them out?

1606
01:34:08,194 --> 01:34:11,611
-Just a moment, I haven't...
-[Bob] Come on, Mr Brewster.

1607
01:34:11,646 --> 01:34:13,475
You were never interested
in ascertaining the truth,

1608
01:34:13,509 --> 01:34:15,615
-were you?
-I was absolutely interested

1609
01:34:15,650 --> 01:34:17,444
in ascertaining the truth.

1610
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,309
I listened to accounts
from both Lyndal and Mr Guy

1611
01:34:20,344 --> 01:34:22,518
about the night
that Lyndal went missing.

1612
01:34:22,553 --> 01:34:24,831
And I, uh, I was of the opinion

1613
01:34:24,866 --> 01:34:27,523
that Guy had not interfered
with her.

1614
01:34:27,558 --> 01:34:30,147
I was... Well, that was
my conviction at that time.

1615
01:34:30,181 --> 01:34:32,667
[Bob] Did you threaten
to sack staff members

1616
01:34:32,701 --> 01:34:35,462
for talking about school matters
to other people?

1617
01:34:39,018 --> 01:34:40,191
[Robert] No.

1618
01:34:40,226 --> 01:34:42,159
-No, I simply...
-[door closes]

1619
01:34:42,193 --> 01:34:43,678
...reminded them of their--

1620
01:34:43,712 --> 01:34:47,440
Did you conceal information
about Kevin Guy

1621
01:34:47,474 --> 01:34:49,166
from the parents of the school?

1622
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:51,616
-Objection, Your Honour.
-I concealed.

1623
01:34:51,651 --> 01:34:54,412
[stenographers keys clacking]

1624
01:34:54,447 --> 01:34:56,414
I concealed what I was
instructed to conceal...

1625
01:34:57,519 --> 01:34:59,141
by the school's legal advisors.

1626
01:35:02,558 --> 01:35:06,321
You were worried any admission
would cost you financially.

1627
01:35:06,355 --> 01:35:09,048
You were constrained
by your lawyers

1628
01:35:09,082 --> 01:35:11,602
and the insurance company
from telling the truth?

1629
01:35:12,672 --> 01:35:15,019
But the truth
was within yourself,

1630
01:35:15,054 --> 01:35:17,746
you had no doubt,
no doubt whatsoever,

1631
01:35:17,781 --> 01:35:20,197
that Lyndal
was telling the truth.

1632
01:35:20,231 --> 01:35:22,199
You had no doubt Guy was guilty.

1633
01:35:23,062 --> 01:35:23,925
Did you?

1634
01:35:27,445 --> 01:35:28,412
Mr Brewster?

1635
01:35:33,728 --> 01:35:35,039
In my heart of hearts...

1636
01:35:38,215 --> 01:35:39,078
yes.

1637
01:35:39,699 --> 01:35:40,631
Yes, he was.

1638
01:35:41,977 --> 01:35:43,358
[Bob] So you made her suffer...

1639
01:35:44,290 --> 01:35:45,947
and continue to suffer...

1640
01:35:46,741 --> 01:35:48,397
for 11 years.

1641
01:35:50,399 --> 01:35:51,297
Why?

1642
01:35:54,749 --> 01:35:56,095
One can only do what...

1643
01:35:58,269 --> 01:36:00,375
is right and appropriate...

1644
01:36:01,445 --> 01:36:02,446
at the time.

1645
01:36:04,586 --> 01:36:07,658
Hindsight, however,
often declares...

1646
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:11,213
-otherwise.
-[indistinct whispering]

1647
01:36:14,630 --> 01:36:15,770
[Margaret] Quiet, please.

1648
01:36:23,398 --> 01:36:24,399
Mr Myers?

1649
01:36:26,332 --> 01:36:28,783
Mr Myers,
is Mr Brewster excused?

1650
01:36:28,817 --> 01:36:31,509
Uh, Your Honour,
one last question.

1651
01:36:31,544 --> 01:36:34,167
Mr Brewster,
before you're finished,

1652
01:36:34,202 --> 01:36:38,793
was it ever part of any male
staff member's duties to...

1653
01:36:39,483 --> 01:36:41,278
supervise the girls' showers?

1654
01:36:43,659 --> 01:36:44,937
Absolutely not.

1655
01:36:46,559 --> 01:36:49,286
I felt quite strongly
that was their private domain.

1656
01:36:51,046 --> 01:36:52,668
No further questions.

1657
01:36:52,703 --> 01:36:55,188
But at this time, Your Honour,

1658
01:36:55,223 --> 01:36:57,950
we would like to notify
the court...

1659
01:36:57,984 --> 01:37:00,538
that we're seeking to add
a rebuttal witness to our list.

1660
01:37:01,125 --> 01:37:01,988
Thank you.

1661
01:37:06,130 --> 01:37:07,718
[indistinct chatter]

1662
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:16,175
[Bob] Ms Dobson, apparently
there was a particular problem

1663
01:37:16,209 --> 01:37:18,971
with head lice at some stage.

1664
01:37:19,005 --> 01:37:23,492
Uh, girls kept coming and saying
they had itchy heads...

1665
01:37:23,527 --> 01:37:25,770
so I went to the showers
to distribute

1666
01:37:25,805 --> 01:37:27,842
medicated shampoo
for them to use.

1667
01:37:29,153 --> 01:37:31,328
I pushed open the door...

1668
01:37:32,225 --> 01:37:33,675
and saw Mr Brewster.

1669
01:37:33,709 --> 01:37:36,057
He was in charge
of getting the girls in and

1670
01:37:36,091 --> 01:37:39,198
out of the showers.
I really didn't like that.

1671
01:37:39,232 --> 01:37:42,857
And what was the state
of their dress, or undress?

1672
01:37:42,891 --> 01:37:44,030
Well, they were naked.

1673
01:37:45,273 --> 01:37:48,897
They were all naked,
running past him.

1674
01:37:48,932 --> 01:37:51,727
[Bob] When he saw you,
what was his reaction?

1675
01:37:53,212 --> 01:37:55,248
Like a rabbit caught
in the headlights.

1676
01:37:57,009 --> 01:38:00,322
[Bob] Thank you.
No further questions.

1677
01:38:00,357 --> 01:38:05,017
-[soft music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

1678
01:38:06,432 --> 01:38:08,399
[Jean]
Although we're all sensitive

1679
01:38:08,434 --> 01:38:10,919
to the circumstances
of the plaintiff...

1680
01:38:10,954 --> 01:38:14,026
when assessing her evidence,
you must remember

1681
01:38:14,060 --> 01:38:17,512
that the plaintiff was 12
at the time

1682
01:38:17,546 --> 01:38:20,377
that these events occurred,
and by her own admission,

1683
01:38:20,411 --> 01:38:23,276
there would be errors
in her recall.

1684
01:38:23,311 --> 01:38:25,037
[Bob] Mrs Dalton...

1685
01:38:25,071 --> 01:38:28,903
wants you to believe that
no one at Toowoomba Prep...

1686
01:38:30,249 --> 01:38:32,251
knew what Kevin Guy was up to.

1687
01:38:32,285 --> 01:38:36,462
But the truth is that Brewster
created a culture where

1688
01:38:36,496 --> 01:38:39,430
certain behaviours
were tolerated.

1689
01:38:39,465 --> 01:38:43,538
You must understand
that the Anglican Diocese

1690
01:38:43,572 --> 01:38:47,231
was another victim
of Kevin George Guy.

1691
01:38:47,266 --> 01:38:49,682
And you must remember
that even though the defence

1692
01:38:49,716 --> 01:38:51,787
has admitted
that Kevin George Guy

1693
01:38:51,822 --> 01:38:55,619
was abusing the plaintiff,
there was and is no proof.

1694
01:38:55,653 --> 01:38:57,276
[Bob] Guy...

1695
01:38:57,310 --> 01:39:02,729
told Lyndal, "Don't tell,
no one will believe you".

1696
01:39:02,764 --> 01:39:04,386
[Jean] Toowoomba Prep...

1697
01:39:04,421 --> 01:39:07,734
is a Christian school,
and here was this man

1698
01:39:07,769 --> 01:39:10,565
betraying the trust
of the school.

1699
01:39:10,599 --> 01:39:14,086
You have to decide whether the
diocese is responsible for that.

1700
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:15,742
[Bob] When you send
a child to school,

1701
01:39:15,777 --> 01:39:17,917
you expect that child to return.

1702
01:39:18,607 --> 01:39:20,299
Lyndal's childhood...

1703
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,509
ended at Toowoomba Prep.

1704
01:39:23,543 --> 01:39:26,305
You need to consider
whether or not what he did

1705
01:39:26,339 --> 01:39:30,240
was closely tied up to what
he was employed to do.

1706
01:39:30,274 --> 01:39:31,966
It was not.

1707
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:36,108
So members of the jury,
you cannot find the school...

1708
01:39:37,419 --> 01:39:38,627
or the Church...

1709
01:39:39,318 --> 01:39:41,147
responsible.

1710
01:39:41,182 --> 01:39:44,771
[Bob] This case is... is not
about the guilt of one person.

1711
01:39:44,806 --> 01:39:47,774
This case is about
the guilt of many.

1712
01:39:47,809 --> 01:39:49,604
And if we here today...

1713
01:39:51,192 --> 01:39:53,711
justify their behaviour, then...

1714
01:39:58,130 --> 01:39:59,994
we too must share...

1715
01:40:00,684 --> 01:40:01,650
that guilt.

1716
01:40:04,343 --> 01:40:06,207
[Margaret]
Ladies and gentlemen...

1717
01:40:06,241 --> 01:40:08,554
please retire
and consider your answers.

1718
01:40:29,195 --> 01:40:31,370
[Margaret] Members of the jury,
are you agreed on the verdict?

1719
01:40:32,095 --> 01:40:33,855
Yes.

1720
01:40:33,889 --> 01:40:35,684
[Margaret] Did the defendant
fail to take reasonable care

1721
01:40:35,719 --> 01:40:37,376
of the plaintiff
while she was a boarder

1722
01:40:37,410 --> 01:40:38,894
at Toowoomba Preparatory School?

1723
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,381
[man 5] Yes.

1724
01:40:42,415 --> 01:40:44,590
[Margaret] Did she suffer loss
or damage as a result?

1725
01:40:45,832 --> 01:40:47,662
[man 5] Yes.

1726
01:40:47,696 --> 01:40:49,698
[Margaret] Is the defendant
vicariously liable to

1727
01:40:49,733 --> 01:40:52,218
the plaintiff for the assaults
on her by Kevin Guy?

1728
01:40:53,495 --> 01:40:55,359
[man 5] Yes.

1729
01:40:55,394 --> 01:40:57,154
[Margaret] How much
should the defendant pay

1730
01:40:57,189 --> 01:40:59,398
in compensatory damages?

1731
01:40:59,432 --> 01:41:01,400
Four hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars.

-[indistinct chatter]

1733
01:41:06,508 --> 01:41:07,613
Quiet, please.

1734
01:41:09,063 --> 01:41:11,168
Should the defendant pay
exemplary damages

1735
01:41:11,203 --> 01:41:13,170
as well
as compensatory damages?

1736
01:41:14,033 --> 01:41:15,207
[man 5] Yes.

1737
01:41:15,241 --> 01:41:16,691
[Margaret]
How much should the defendant

1738
01:41:16,725 --> 01:41:17,864
pay to the plaintiff?

1739
01:41:20,074 --> 01:41:21,834
Four hundred thousand dollars.

1740
01:41:21,868 --> 01:41:24,388
[soft music playing]

1741
01:41:24,423 --> 01:41:26,218
[Margaret] Thank you, ladies
and gentlemen of the jury.

1742
01:41:26,252 --> 01:41:27,874
You're excused.
Court is adjourned.

1743
01:41:27,909 --> 01:41:29,083
[clerk 2] All rise.

1744
01:41:31,257 --> 01:41:32,258
[indistinct chatter]

1745

[soft music continues playing]

1746
01:42:03,945 --> 01:42:06,430
My sincerest, best wishes
for the future, Lyndal.

1747
01:42:06,465 --> 01:42:08,329
I hope you can
make the most of it.
